IN SUMMATION"... Bro. Ernest N. Morial..
Brother Ernest N. "Dutch" Morial was born October 9, 1929, in New Orleans and received his early education in the city's public and parochial schools. In 1951 he was awarded a B.S in Business Administration from Xavier University of Louisiana, after receiving the Louisiana Teachers Association Scholarship Three years later he became the first Black graduate of the Louisiana State Law School, after having successfully competed in the Law School's Moot Court competition
Morial served with the U.S Army
Intelligence Corps, 1954-56, during the Korean conflict, acting as a liason with the CIA
Upon returning to New Orleans, Morial established a law practice in association with A. P. Tureaud, dean of Negro lawyers in Louisiana He also taught, serving as part-time instructor in Distributive Education for the Orleans Parish School Board and teaching business administration and insurance at Xavier University.
During early years of his law practice in New Orleans, Morial participated ac-
tively as a cooperating attorney with the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund and served as the President of the New Orleans Chapter of the NAACP. His influence with this organization extended to the national level, where he served on the Resolutions Committee at the NAACP's national conventions.
N.A.A.CP. 63rd Annual Convention
The 63rd Annual Convention of the NAACP was perhaps one of the largest and most productive in the long illustrious history of the Association. More tnan 2,600 delegates and alternates gathered in Detroit in order to map out new strategies, sharpen existing techniques and reaffirm the Association's 63-year consistent commitment to achieve a completely integrated, multi-racial, society, realizing that only in such a nation can equality be real and authentic. The delegates fully understood what NAACP Board Chairman, Stephen Gill Spottswood meant in his opening keynote speech on Friday, July 4th when he said:
"I tell you and all to whom these words shall come, that the NAACP considers itself here, now in July, in the Year of Our Lord 1972, in a state ot war. Every man and woman, every youth and every adult who has accepted membership in the NAACP has also accepted a place in the ranks of the NAACP army They must know that the time has now come to 'put on the whole armor of God . . . For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world and against spiritual wickedness in high places.' "
Most delegates and Negro Americans were painfully aware of the "not so silent retreat" of the Administration in the entire field of federal enforcement of civil rights obligations. Few were unaware of the attempt to impose an anti-Black Supreme Court on the land All delegates knew quite well that many of our hardwon gains are placed in serious jeopardy by the policies of the present Administration. The 63rd Annual Convention of the NAACP understood all too well what the late Dr Mary McLeod Bethune meant when she said nearly three decades ago, "We have come a long way but we still have a long way to go."
Most delegates were alarmed over the Administration's opposition to equal educational opportunities for Black children expressed through the President's "opposition to busing." The true meaning of this racist position becomes evident when we consider that absolutely no meaningful plan was put forth to build a bridge for deprived Black children to escape the disabilities of ghetto life While the President has come out against so called "quotas," he has not advanced any plan to end discrimination in employment and mounting unemployment among Black Americans. The presence of so many dedicated people was a clear signal of their understanding that it is through the NAACP that we can hopefully beat back this spreading blight of bigotry that is suffocating our political landscape All realized that membership in the NAACP was indeed one way that we must respond to this crisis. Some may choose to protest, others may petition, still others may picket. However, all of us must persevere and proudly proclaim our support for the NAACP. Real meaning can be given our concern through increased Membership, Life Membership in the NAACP for our families, members, friends, colleagues and associates Everyone must join Freedom must be fought for and won —•it is never bestowed.
Locally, Morial fought for equal rights by handling many suits which resulted in the elimination of segregation policies His wife, Sybil Haydel Morial, was the successful plaintiff in a suit challenging the Louisiana law which prohibited teachers from holding membership in organizations advocating integration in the classroom Other legal actions handled by Morial brought about the end of racial discrimination policies at Delgado Trade School, New Orleans Municipal Auditorium and area colleges, including LSUNO, Southwestern and Southeastern
Morial served as president of the local NAACP chapter from 1962 to 1965, when he resigned to accept a position with the U. S. Attorney's office in Louisiana (another "first" for the state's Negroes)
The political career of Dutch Morial started in 1959 when he ran for the Louisiana Democratic State Central Committee. Although he reached the second primary run-off, he was not elected to the Committee
In 1967 Morial won a seat in the Louisiana House of Representatives, scoring a first primary victory over one Negro and two white opponents To become the first Black Democrat ever elected to the Louisiana legislature and the first black since reconstruction, he successfully united black and white voters In this contest, Morial became the first Negro candidate endorsed by both the New Orleans States-Item and The Times Picayune
In 1968 he was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention loining a field of seven candidates in 1969, Representative Morial sought election to a Councilman-at-Large post for the City of New Orleans He won a second primary slot by trailing the top vote getter by only 10,000 votes in the first primary In the second primary, he closed the vote gap to 6,000, losing the election by less than four percent of the total votes cast
Alpha's Twenty-Third General President
In the near-successful Councilman-atLarge campaign, the state legislator broadened his base of support in both the black and white communities He was endorsed by both of New Orleans' daily newspapers for the city-wide post in this election
Representative Morial returned to the state legislature to continue the leadership role he had played in constitutional revision, reform in welfare laws, consumer credit protection and voter registration, advocating the lowering of the voting age to 18.
At the close of the 1970 legislative session, the last regular session until 1972, State Representative Ernest N. Morial was appointed a judge of the Orleans Parish Juvenile Court by Governor John J. McKeithen.
Judge Morial has involved himself extensively in civic and community service programs, locally and on the national scale

Mr. Laurence Young, General Secretary Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. 4432 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive Chicago, Illinois
Dear Laurence:
It has been a long time since you heard from me. Be assured however, that I am still interested in the progress of Alpha Phi Alpha; and though I have not attended a general convention in some time, I have kept up with the program of the Fraternity.
Currently, I am active with Epsilon Pi Lambda here in Gainesville, but because I go to Miami regularly for Sigma Pi Phi Boule meetings, I'm planning to attend meetings of that chapter also; in fact, several of the Boule members in Miami are also Alphas.
Several brothers have inquired regarding what I'm doing, etc.; I am therefore sending this news release which I hope you will have placed in the next issue of the SPHINX. If I should send a copy to someone else, let me know. I'm sending a recent photograph herewith.
Best wishes and kindest personal regards to you and to Mrs. Young; also to all brothers in Alpha Phi Alpha.
Brother T. Winston Cole, Sr., former General President, joined the University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, July 1, 1971, as Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs On November 1, 1972 he was promoted to Dean of Academic Affairs for Instructional Services at the University. His responsibilities include: coordinating the various evaluation programs relating to the Office of Academic Affairs; improving overall teaching effectiveness; serving as Ombudsman for the Office of Academic Affairs; aiding in identification, recruitment, employment, and orientation of faculty personnel with a special emphasis on minority groups; coordinating special external programs for which the Office of Academic Affairs has a particular responsibility; editing the Faculty Handbook; coordinating the Commencement Program; and serving as a member of the Council of Academic Deans, the Administrative Council, and the University Senate
Brother Cole was formerly President of Wiley College in Marshall, Texas and General President of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc Upon moving to Florida his membership was transferred to Epsilon Pi Lambda in Gainesville, Florida
In Gainesville, Brother Cole is active as a member or the Administrative Board of the First United Methodist Church
Incidentally, the chapter here is investigating the possibility of organizing an undergraduate chapter at the University of Florida. We have several undergraduates who are already Alphas because they transferred here from campuses that have chapters of the fraternity, and many others who are interested in becoming members.
I will be writing you more about this as soon as I have additional information.
If I may assist with your program or help Walter in any way, please let me know. Perhaps I can attend the next general convention, and also the Southern Regional.
Fraternally,
T. W. Cole, Sr.

IN REBUTTAL ...AN OPEN LETTER
Honorable Ernest N
Morial, President Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.
1821 Orleans Avenue
New Orleans, Louisiana 70116
Dear Brother President Morial:
I have read with particular interest Brother Larry Ervin's open letter dated March 15, 1972 Whereas his letter raises certain allegations and indictments, I find no evidence of facts in Atlanta to support same
Moreover, it is undisputed that Alpha is an interdependent organization and seeks not to exclude from its membership any brother initiated at the college or graduate level. The alumni chapter provides a viable avenue for any brother to sustain and maintain his continuing support to his Fraternity
It appears to this observer that some college chapters are experiencing some difficulties due to fault of their own and peculiar circumstances Alpha Phi Alpha was founded out of "black emphasis" and to this day, being black remains unchanged because of the "color."
I find that some attitudes of our black college graduates of today are hung up on black emphasis, black relevance and black separatism Incidentally, 1 can appreciate any healthy sign of an emerging black consciousness, but at the same time, I expect blacks to have in their possession not only the signs and symbols of liberation, but the skills, competencies and understandings that will be necessary to transform slogans into reality.
My response is not an attempt to take Brother Ervin to task, nor an effort to demean his observation However, instead of his suggesting, by inference, that the membership requirements (inter alia) be made to accommodate, I think he should be encouraging college brothers to know that the ends of education are essentially moral — and that the proper use of a Black Man's time in college should not be wasted in arguing the relevance of English literature or compulsory class attendance With today's opportunities for black students, the college degree should not be looked upon as a passport out of the ghetto, but as an opportunity to render greater service
If there is too much "liberation" in today's educational institution, the black brothers should heed the cries of the alumni brothers, constantly begging all blacks to get as much as they can of what is available. Each generation must see and understand its contribution in life as part of a relay team First of all, learn how to properly receive the baton and then be prepared to run your leg of the race. When the pages of history are recorded, they like generations before, will have contributed significantly to our ever struggling problem.
The times of today demand the most of all black folk We are the descendants of men and women who picked cotton, built bridges, and dammed rivers in the grips of the most terrifying ordeals — but yet endured It is a quality — a characteristic of personality. Baldwin called it "the capacity to endure"; Grier and Cobb called it "a kind of majesty "
The calibre of man made into our fraternity reflects what talent we have in the college chapters When I was a college student, it was known that Alpha didn't ask for anyone and accepted a mighty damn few We sought quality and not numbers There is a vehicle Principles and customs are passed from one generation to another. Maybe, the relevant question is, where is the break in the chain? There are those men made into the fraternity whose expressed purposes are to destroy the principles, the quality standards, the joining of hands in singing the Hymn and any noble tradition significant to me and any other brother who knows about Alpha Phi Alphal
Finally, Brother Ervin's attack on college and alumni Brothers' relations is unfounded and is without merit. This is but another attempt in some college Brothers shying away from responsibility and commitment. Each alumni chapter has room for more manpower than many Brothers are willing to give Brother Ervin or no other Brother should confuse generalities with facts. Such grave indictments against alumni chapters is unfair It is not a matter of "Looking down" or drumming up some other preconceived notion, the whole thing is that the college Brother (who's guilty) wants a selfconstructed world and he's unwilling to get in the alumni chapter. When a Brother finishes college does he write the mayor, governor or the President and say the people who are already employed don't treat him right because they were employed before him?
I fault no man for what's wrong with me.
Fraternally,
Mathew H Dawson, President Eta Lambda Chapter
"... . Black Business"
a profound history of business in general in the nation, pointing out that businesses and trading companies preceded the formation of the colonies, territories and states and that the latter were actually formed to protect such businesses and the citizens.
Michael Corrin of the Interracial Council for Business Opportunity, Daniel Robinson of General Cable, William Mercer of Mercermedia of Newark and Washington, Dennis Brown of Denru Trucking Company, later an honoree, Charles Whigham, bank board president and also an honoree each covered a phase of the black business world and answered questions Robinson related how working in an electronics job for someone else enabled him to discover he was underemployed, so that he formed his own company Whigham traced the rise of mortician competition from the new mortician conglomerates Mercer related the relation of the media to black business. Corrin told how his organizations has assisted in advancing millions in capital to new black business. Dennis Brown told how he started out in 1968 with a battered truck and built a trucking business that now grosses a quarter of a million The sessions had such an impact in the business world that director Wisner continues to receive laudatory letters and messages from the honorees

zations in Europe, South America, Mexico, and the Caribbean and Middle East.

FRAT FUN
By O WILSON WINTERS
Life Member Number ONE
"And LO! a voice from Italy, it comes like a stirring of a breeze from the mountains, it floats in majesty like the echo of thunder, it breathes solemnity like a sound from the tomb; let the nations hearken for the buried voice of antiquity speaks again from the gray ruins of Pompeii."
That classic paragraph representing a fine example of English composition is taken from the Last Days of Pompeii by Bulwer-Lytton It signifies the re-appearance of Frat Fun by Sir Billy Winters.
I disavow any breeziness, majesty or solemnity but am hearkening to the importunities of several friends to write at least one more column I am not a surrogate for gossipers or X rated novelists. However, I must warn you that the experience of several Life Member breakfasts responses has given rise to the appellation of "dirty old man." My defense and excuse can be taken from Shakespeare's King Richard who exclaimed: "I, who was born without my fair proportions, cheated by the sibilant Nature, breathed into this world before my time, scarce half made up, since heaven has shaped by body so, let hell make crook'd my mind to answer it."
And in recent years, even President Harry Truman said: "If you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen." Furthermore this column is somewhat a personal colloquy with Brother Thomas D. Pawley and myself in acknowledgment of several educational tones he has given me right off the press
So, turn the page now if you fear to become fraternally tittilated I promise and swear NOT to suggest the Senator McGovern campaign osculatory invitation So whatever I say, "I know not what the truth may be, I tell to you as was told to me."
After the recent presidential campaign, we are all surfeited with polls and public inquisitiveness. They tell me polls are now taken to inquire if infants enjoy their infancy as much as adults enjoy their adultery We learned that Junior is still mechanically minded and many kids want Santa Claus to bring them Erector Sets for Christmas. Dad, too, would like to have an erector set.
Comparisons are intriguing and can be odious. A 75 year old Senator and a 22 year old bride at their wedding reception toasted each other with Geritol cocktails At another wedding the minister intoned the familiar ceremonial words: "Who giveth this woman in marriage?" A big man and his husky son both carrying sawedoff shot guns said: "WE DO." At another wedding, after the ceremony, the bride was pelted with puffed rice Why not? She was six months pregnant
Have you seen a UNIVAC machine in operation? There is one at the office of the Boston Chamber of Commerce The I.B.M expert who handled it boasted that it could do anything. He told a skeptical bystander to ask it a question. "Where is my father at this very instant?" he asked Out popped the answer: "Your father ison a fishing trip in Quebec." The skeptic delightfully disagreed with the answer and retorted, "My father Robert Brewster is in Chicago at this very instant and I am on my way to join him, I just talked to him on the telephone before I came into this room." The I.B.M. man pushed a button and the machine retorted: "RIGHT! Robert Brewster indeed is in Chicago, your father is fishing in Quebec, Canada."

The faults a man finds in his wife may be why she couldn't get a better husband
An old farmer when asked why he never married, explained: "Well, I'd rather go through life wanting something I didn't have, than having something I didn't want "
"Having a hobby is fine for taking the humdrum out of life" said Otis: "My wife is taking up bird watching." "Yes" said his buddy: "You're the bird she is watching."
A city fellow when asked: "Has your wife changed much since you married her?" answered: "She certainly has; my habits, my friends, my hours, and my bank account."
Thanks for listening Brother Pawley Now I must salute Brother Laurence Young and inform him of the difficulty in generating the responsibility of former Frat Fun columns If he has been shocked or may later be shocked at any of these recountings, let me recall one of Brother Mai Goode's pithy anecdotes He told us about a hibernating bear finding a half frozen rattle snake outside his den, — dragged it inside and sheltered it all through the winter In the early days of spring, the snake thawed out and showed signs of hostility. He coiled, bared his fangs and sounded his rattles The bear was outraged: "See here" he yelled, — "what's wrong with you? Have you forgotten how I took you in last Fall, kept you safe and warm all winter in my cozy den and this is your gratitude?" The serpent hissed: "I'm a snake and you knew I was a snake when you took me in You know what to expect from us snakes?"
Remember when you attended the Life Members' breakfast meeting, especially the last one in Denver? Remember what a snake I was that Wednesday morning? well, sir, I am still what the folks are calling "One of the dirty old men."
Claude Hamilton was fascinated by one of the Living Bra commercials and decided to give his wife one for Christmas He went to the large department store and the sales girl asked him what he wanted to buy. He said he wanted to buy one of those "living things" for his wife He was asked what cup did he want He said: "I don't want no cup, I'm not going to drink anything, I want a bra." "Sir, perhaps you will understand if I say what size does your wife wear, A.B.C.D. or E." "Oh, I don't know" he said
"What does your wife's bosem look like-two grape fruit?"
"Sister if you mean her breasts, No!"
"Do they look like two oranges?"
"No, not that big"
"Perhaps they look like two eggs?"
Claude's eyes brightened and he blurted out: "Yes, thats it — eggs, eggs, two fried eggs, sunny side up."
ODDITIES IN THE NEWS
Two baseball players barnstorming through the deep south stopped in their travels at a primitive hotel It was indeed primitive, not yet blessed with inside plumbing. Of course there was the water pitcher and bowl, and the fancy chamber pot One of the players broke the chamber pot and went down stairs to report it The male clerk who had registered them in had been replaced by a pretty girl clerk The fellow was so much embarrased he blurted out: "Missy, I broke that thing up in the room." She smiled sweetly and asked: "What do you mean, the pitcher?" He said "No, the catcher."
In a near dream I saw Brother Judge Bennie Harris, Moses General Miles, William M Alexander and John D Buckner on a hunting expedition Suddenly from out of the bush they were attacked by a big black bear and immediately in the opposite direction they were charged by a wild bull SHOOT! SHOOT IT! shouted Brother Harris "Which one" Brother Miles asked: "Shoot the bear! Shoot the bear!* Alexander and Buckner will shoot the bull."

Last week in Baltimore, Maryland, an insurance man rang a door bell on Druid Hill Avenue A little girl answered the bell and yelled up stairs: "Mom, it's the insurance man Are you paying him this month, or shall I run out and play for a while?"
She was riding on the Auburn Avenue bus in Atlanta, Georgia, and speaking loudly so everybody in the front section could hear, — she said: "Isn't there one gentleman on the bus to get up and give a pregnant woman a seat?"

She was lounging lazily in a penthouse apartment. He was pouring a drink for his pretty visitor Pouring slowly he said the family words of drinkers: "SAY WHEN?" She sighed and said: "Right after this drink."

Economic Development — A Challenge for the Seventies
Theme of Theta Rho Lambdas Black and GoldBanquet Ball
"Outstanding Service" award to Brother Clarke
Banquet Speaker, William Decker Clarke, former Eastern Vice President, spoke to the theme from the point of view of preparing for opportunities for jobs and consequently for economic development, through education and training He enlightened the audience with recommendations and suggestions for development, suggesting such as Community Colleges developing retraining and reeducation programs towards job opportunities. He suggested investment groups and clubs, sound family deposits for good interest rates and generally business-like money handling
Approximately 500 dinner guests heard Alpha's William Decker Clarke speak to the theme, "Economic Development
A Challenge For the Seventies."
Mr. Clarke, attorney, businessman, financier and past vice president of the Frat's Eastern Region, was brief, but dynamic in his approach to the subject He said, among other things, that a worthwhile program of economic development must be directed to reconstruction rather than relief; and that vast numbers must be removed from the poverty rolls and steered toward rehabilitation through new educational dimensions
He also stated that development must begin with the adult environment in order that adult resources may be improved enabling the poor to be better equipped to handle their own peculiar needs.
"Compulsory education for welfare recipients is the first priority in economic development," he added Summing it up, he cautioned his brothers and guests to accept the challenge with more vigor and more courage "if we are to succeed!"
Mr. Clarke was presented with an award at the close of his speech for "Outstanding Service" as eastern regional vice president for the past three years in succession.
The evening started with a cocktail hour, followed by dinner which started with the invocation and seven candle ceremony to the fraternity Founders, by C. Eugene Hubbard, Chaplain

Rumsfield Letter Discusses Legality of Rent Increases
Dear Social Security Beneficiary:
You are concerned about living costs, and it is our job, as directed by President Nixon, to do everything we can to hold down the costs of living For many, rent is a big part of your monthly bills Because rents are such a large part of living costs, and because Social Security payments increased by 20 percent on October 2, the Cost of Living Council has developed a special program to help prevent excessive and unjustified rent increases.
We know that the elderly and others who rely on Social Security payments spend a larger percentage of their income on rent than most other Americans.
Our "Rent Watch" program is designed to prevent illegal rent increases from cutting into the additional Social Security payments which go to the elderly, the handicapped, widows and children.
The "Rent Watch" is designed to protect renters from illegal rent practices and to assure that the regulations of the Economic Stabilization Program will be enforced.
The "Rent Watch" consists of an audit of housing for older Revenue Service District offices across the country under the direction of stabilization officials in Washington, D. C. The Internal Revenue Service is the enforcement arm of the Economic Stabilization Program
The "Rent Watch" consists of an audit of housing for older persons; a special rent complaint service for Social Security recipients and increased authority for the IRS to administer rent control regulations and levy financial penalties on violators
It will be to your advantage to study this brochure carefully. It contains a great deal of practical advice on how to deal with the rent question On page 2 you will find out what you should do if you have a complaint On pages 3 and 4 you will find a summary of the rent regulations.
We want to help you in every possible way with any rent problem, so we urge you to make full use of this booklet and the "Rent Watch" program.
Sincerely,
Donald Rumsfeld Director, Cost of Living Council
How to Tell If Your Rent Increase is Legal
To give special quick service to Social Security beneficiaries who wish to ask questions or file complaint about recent rent increases, we have established a "Rent Watch" program in over 300 Internal Revenue Service offices across the nation
The rent on most apartments is regulated by the rules of the Economic Stabilization Program If you should receive notice of a proposed rent increase from your landlord, there are several things you can do to find out whether the increase is permissible:
(1)
Remember that your landlord must give you a proper 30day notice of a proposed rent increase.
(2)
Visit or call your landlord and ask him to explain how the increase meets the requirements of the Economic Stabilization Program
(3)
If you are not satisfied with your landlord's explanation,
write, telephone or visit your nearest Internal Revenue Service office Be sure to indicate that you are a Social Security beneficiary and send or bring with you copies of all notices from your landlord
(4)
Bear in mind that it is illegal for a landlord to harass or threaten a tenant who protests a rent increase to the Internal Revenue Service. Landlords who attempt retaliatory evictions or other such actions face possible criminal or civil penalties.
Rent Control Questions and Answers
The Rent Control regulations are designed to help you, the tenant, by keeping rent increases within reasonable limits Rent controls provide a definite set of rules landlords must follow to increase or decrease rents—plus protection for the tenant from lent gouging and retaliatory actions
Rent regulations are complex. We admit it. But the basic rules and protections are simple to understand.
If you have unanswered questions, IRS district offices are geared up with rent experts ready to give priority to the questions and complaints of Social Security recipients.
Just call, write or visit your district IRS office—and be sure to say you receive Social Security payments.
You've got questions. We've got answers.
Question
Are all rents under controls?
Answer
No, not all rents are under control. Units exempt from—not under—controls include:
Units owned by anyone who, along with members of his family, has a direct or indirect interest in no more than four units;
Units renting for $500 or more a month on January 19, 1972; All nonresidential property;
New construction offered for rent for the first time after August 15, 1971;
Rehabilitated residences where the cost of repair is more than one half of the market value of the dwelling preceding the rehabilitation, and which are offered for rent for the first time and completed after August 15, 1971
The regulations cover not only apartments and houses but also mobile homes and houseboats, as long as they are used as permanent homes.
Question
If a landlord owns three rental units and his father owns two, are the units under controls?
Answer
Yes, they are Both have an interest, direct or indirect, in more than four units The regulations exempt only an owner, who, along with members of his family, has a direct or indirect interest in one to four units A family includes an individual, his spouse, his parents, children and grandchildren
Question
I've heard the term "base rent." What does it mean?
Answer
Base rent is the highest monthly rent a landlord can charge for a residence before making any allowable increases Generally, it is the approximate market level rent for a housing unit before the Freeze began on August 15, 1971 In figuring a rent increase, you ALWAYS start with base rent
Question
How may my rent be increased above the base rent?
Answer
First, the landlord must give you a proper written notice 30 days before the increase He can adjust rent to pass through increased state and local real estate taxes and fees The rent also may be increased to pass through the cost of capital improvements completed after August 14, 1971, until fully recovered Your base rent may be raised by a flat 2.5 percent a year to cover all other increased costs Finally, if the majority of the affected tenants agree, the landlord may increase rents to recover costs to him in providing increased property or services.
Question
Let's take those parts of an increase one by one. First, how can the landlord increase my rent for increased taxes, assessments and fees
Answer
He cannot increase your rent until the month such a bill becomes due In most cases, the landlord cannot charge you increased rent until your lease has expired
Now, when there has been a capital improvement, a landlord may charge the tenants benefitted by the improvement 1.5 percent per month of the total cost For example, if your landlord installs an air conditioning unit costing $500 in your apartment, he may increase your rent only by 1.5 percent per month of the improvement's total cost, or $7.50 a month, until the improvement is paid off.
The cost of increased property or services not called for in your lease may be pro-rated among tenants only if a majority of the tenants who would benefit request the property or services in writing
For example, if a majority of tenants request a guard in an apartment house lobby, the landlord may raise the rents of all tenants on a pro-rated basis to pay the guard
Question
What kind of rent increase notice must my landlord give?
Answer
A very specific one, written and delivered 30 days before the increase is due Use this as a checklist of information that must be in the notice:
(1)
Monthly rent of the unit before and after the proposed increase.
(2)
The base rent and how it was determined (3)
Percent and dollar amount of the increase and the date it takes effect (4)
The units involved (5)
Itemization of the increased costs and how they are prorated to the unit (6)
A full description of capital improvements and their proration.
(7)
The documentation supporting the increase and the hours when it may be inspected
(8)
If the tenant still has questions, an offer by the landlord to meet with the tenant
(9)
A statement that information in the notice is correct (10)
That the tenant, after meeting with the landlord, may contact the District Director of the Internal Revenue Service and give him a copy of the rent increase notice and a written statement of why tenant feels the increase is illegal The landlord also must provide the address of the IRS office in the notice.
(11)
That the proposed increase will take effect on the date specified in the notice. But if all or any part of the increase is later found illegal, the landlord will refund the overcharge within 30 days after it is found illegal (12)
That it is illegal for the landlord to take retaliatory action against a tenant who asks or complains about an increase and that the landlord will not take any retaliatory action. Any increase notice that is unwritten, or delivered less than 30 days before the increase takes effect or which omits any part of the checklist is an illegal notice—and the rent increase is therefore illegal
Question
If I don't think an increase is fair, or I want more information about it, what can I do?
Answer
Ask the landlord to show proof of increased costs or capital improvements being used as the basis for a rent increase If you still don't feel the increase is proper, meet with the landlord and ask him to explain the increase. If the explanation does not satisfy you, write a statement indicating why you feel the landlord is in violation and submit it, together with your rent increase notice, to the Internal Revenue Service
Question
If I complain to the IRS about a rent increase, what's to stop my landlord from evicting me?
Answer
Quite a lot The regulations specifically forbid any retaliatory action, such as harassment or eviction, by a landlord against a tenant who exercises his rights under the regulations Landlords who attempt to retaliate face possible prosecution and fines up to $5,000 for each offense In addition, IRS has new powers to impose administrative sanctions—refunds to tenants, rent rollbacks and penalties of double the overcharged rent Anyone who feels he is the victim of retaliation because he questioned or complained about a rent increase should notify the IRS immediately.
Question
My landlord says his painting of the halls is a capital improvement and he can recover the cost by increasing my rent.
Answer
No, he can't Painting of the lobby and halls is maintenance, not a capital improvement Capital improvements must continue beyond a 12-month period, benefit your residence and be subject to depreciation allowance
Question
How can I file a complaint with the IRS?
Answer
Gather all the written material you can relating to your problem If you are coming in, telephone, or send a letter, be sure to have the material on hand Be sure to identify yourself as a Social Security recipient so that your case can be red-flaggsd for priority treatment.
ALPHA WORKSHOP . . .
from the desk of Laurence T. Young, Executive Secretary
For many years, the General Office has been deluged with requests for an explanation of the COAT OF ARMS or commonly known as the FRATERNAL DESIGN
So that the blasonry of a coat-of-arms described in the correct heraldic terminology may readily be understood by anyone not thoroughly conversant with the institution of heraldry, it is necessary to elaborate considerably on the terms employed The background of heraldic achievements is particularly interesting inasmuch as the terms are of old Norman French origin.
The following is an interpretation in detail of the FRATERNAL DESIGN of Alpha Phi Alpha armorial bearings, and the explanations follow in the same order as given in the blazonry at the beginning of this description:
ESCUTCHEON: Per pale or and sable between a fess embattled three Sphinx beads proper all countercharged
CREST: On an esquire's helmet and a wreath of the colors two torches or flamed gules saltire wise
MANTLING: Or double sable.
MOTTO: Alpha Phi Alpha in upper case Greek letters.
PALE in heraldry is a broad vertical band in the center of the shield and occupies about one third the area of the shield The word itself is derived from the same root as our English words "paling" and "palisade" and is interpreted in heraldry as something worthy of being defended PER PALE means that the shield is divided by a thin line in the manner of a pale but not clearly — or nearly as broad as an actual pale itself In this coat-of-arms it can be easily interpreted as the sillingness to defend the principles on which Alpha Phi Alpha is founded.
OR is the heraldic term for gold, which is one of the colors of Alpha Phi Alpha As is the coat-of-arms, light heraldic and nobile in purpose. The lasting and enduring qualities of this precious metal is indicative of the lasting qualities of friendships formed within the bond of Alpha Phi Alpha and at the same time it represents the desire for knowledge and a higher degree of scholarship shared by all its members
SABLE is the heraldic term for black. It is the color of night and secrecy. Consequently it denotes that the fraternity is a secret organization.
FESS (Fess) in heraldry is a broad band across the center of a shield placed in a horizontal manner and occupies about one third the area of the shield. Actually, the word means belt or waist, and such a term is applied to that particular area of the shield which defended the waits of the bearer of the shield when in actual combat. This particular FESS is embattled, or the upper line of it is drawn in such a way so as to indicate turrets of a tower These are seven in number indicating the seven founders of Alpha Phi Alpha The interpretation of its FESS embattled is indicative of the fact that Alpha Phi Alpha is made up of men united in a common purpose, and the willingness of the members to defend and to do everything within their power to further the interest
of the fraternity.
A SPHINX HEAD is an emblem of secrecy Three Sphinx heads have been used to indicate the three principles on which the fraternity is founded, or possibly the three ideals which all of its members hope to attain These Sphinx heads are proper, or are represented in a colored drawing of the coat-of-arms as being in their natural color, which would be the color of sandstone
All are COUNTERCHARGED which means the colors of the fraternity alternate, or and sable (gold and black). The dexter side, which is the left side of the shield when one is looking at the shield but is the right side to the person who is bearing the shield or is behind it, is gold The opposite half, or the sinister side, is black. One half of the Fees is black and the other half is gold The Sphinx at the top of the dexter side, the Sphinx at the top of the sinister side, and the Sphinx at the bottom should all be the color of sandstone.
AN ESQUIRE'S HELMET is used in this design An esquire was the lowest order of fighting man in the days of chivalry. It might be said he corresponded to the Ensign of our Navy, or the First Lieutenant of the Army The helmet of an esquire when used in heraldry always faces to the dexter side (to the left of the person looking at the coat-of-arms) The visor is always closed The fact that the helmet is that used by the lowest order of chivalry is indicative of democracy, and the fact that the visor is closed, or down, suggests the idea of secrecy or readiness to defend the principles of the Fraternity
THE WREATH OF COLORS (or TORSE) is a twisted rope-like effect which appears directly above the helmet It is what is left of the conventionalized wreath that was presented to the knight by his lady sponsor when he entered the lists It is also suggestive of the laurel wreath placed upon the brow of the victor in combat It has been conventionalized to six divisions, — the first of this is the metal used in the shield — in this case, GOLD: — and the second and prominent color used in the shield — in this case, BLACK. One metal and one color is all that is ever used in the wreath, or torse, and they always alternate with the metal being the first one at the left
THE CREST in this design is two torches, the handles of the torches being OR (gold) and the flame part of the torches being BULES (red). Torches have been used for centuries to indicate freedom and liberty GULES, which is the heraldic term for red, is the natural way of showing the flames of lighted torches, but GULES itself is the color used to indicate valor and courage. The torches are placed saltire wise, or is the form of a cross, thus denoting the willingness of the members not only to carry the torch of freedom and enlightenment, but also the willingness to sacrifice for these principles whenever necessary
THE MANTLING is the lacy, fluttering design at the side of the shield and emanating from the back of the helmet It is the conventionalized representation of the mantle or the cloak which the warrior wore in order to protect himself when in full armor from the rays of the sun or from
the extreme cold. It also served to protect the armor which he wore and which was extremely valuable and difficult to leplace. In this case the outside of the mantle worn would be gold and the inside black, the two colors of the FraMOTTO: Directly underneath the shield appears a ribbon and on this ribbon "Alpha Phi Alpha" is spelled out in upper case Greek, letters The motto as used on a coat-of-arms is more or less shrouded in mystery It is thought that it iepresented a sort of secret call of the esquire to his aids, or it may have been the war cry of a clan When chivelry as an active institution passed out of existence, die motto became significant of some cherished family ambition or ideal, Since the name of the Fraternity has been used in this case, the manner in which it is to be interpreted is no doubt a simple matter for any member of the Fraternity
The various elements of the coat-of-arms can be more readily understood if one will bear in mind that the shield protected the body of the wearer, the helmet the head, and the crest which was worn on the helmet was the distinguishing feature of the particular warior It was quite difficult to distinguish one man from another when all were armed, so nearly alike unless there was adornment of some kind on the helmet, thus ALPHA PHI ALPHA
FORMER
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF THE SPHINX RECEIVES A SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT
Brother J Herbert King, former Editor-in-chief of THE SPHINX was appointed by General President Brother Walter Washington to render a special service to the Fraternity by assisting in the publishing of the three remaining issues of THE SPHINX, before the next General Convention. This special service will be rendered by Brother King under the supervision of the staff at the General Office, and will remain in force until the convening of the 67th Anniversary Convention of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity in New Orleans, Louisiana, August of 1973, at which time and place an Editor will be elected.
Brother King is to be highly commended for the excellence of his work as Editor during the years he was in office, however, due to a constitutional prohibition, he is not eligible for re-election.
Brother King so often recites "THERE GOES AN ALPHA MAN" so the Board of Directors offer a tribute to him and paraphrases that familiar poem and says: "There goes another splendid Editor of our official journal."

MIAMI AREA CHAPTERS SUSTAIN A GRIEVOUS LOSS
The brothers of the Miami chapters of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc sustained a grievous loss in the passing of Brother Oral Alexander Allen, 41, on August 17, 1972. Brother Allen was fiercely loyal to Alpha and gave an excellent account of his stewardship from the day he "saw the light" in the Delta Beta Chapter on the campus of Bethune Cookman College Daytona Beach, Florida back in 1954 He was Past President of Beta Beta Lambda where we fondly recalled his administration being caracterized by many innovations and zestful dedication to the principles so nobly espoused by Alpha. Additionally, this stalwart of Alphadom served as State Director a few years ago and was looking forward to entertaining the 1975 General Convention here in Miami as he was the local chairman Always vibrant and eloquent, "Big Al" constantly exuded the 'good ole' Alpha spirit until the end.
Born in Miami to a pioneer family, Brother Allen distinguished himself as one of the foremost basketball players of Miami's Booker T Washington High School from whence he graduated in 1949. He received the bachelor's and master's degree from Florida A & M University
