Ball. Also, a scholarship will be given, in the name of Alpha, to a qualified, college bound, high school student in the spring. Kappa Pi Chapter is alive and definitely on the move in Williamsburg. We will be attempting to open better lines of communication with other Chapters in our area, and ask all other Chapters to do the same in theirs. The time has undoubtedly come when Alpha Men everywhere should be "First Of All." Now is the time that we should concentrate on truly becoming "Servants Of All," for the principles of our Fraternity, we must "Transcend All."

v^columbiQ u In February, Zeta Eta Chapter at Columbia University publicly celebrated African-American History Month. This was done in two ways; first, a yellow rose was presented to every sister on campus for Valentine Day. This represented a token of our appreciation for their support in our activities, but also it was our way of saying we support them as future leaders. Second, on February 2 4 , 1 980 we presented "A Salute to the AfroAmerican Woman." This program discussed the contributions women have made and are presently making in the total "struggle" of Afro-Americans. The topic was "The Challenges of the Afro-American Woman" and awards were presented to three outstanding Afro-American women who are meeting the challenge in three distinct fields: Ms. Margaret B. Young, Chairman of The Whitney M. Young

Young, Jr. Ms. Ernesta B. Procope, president of the E. G. Bowman Company, the first and only company on Wall Street to be owned by an AfroAmerican, received an award for contribution in the field of Business. Ms. Procope is married to Brother John L. Procope, publisher of the largest weekly Afro-American news publication in the United States, The Amsterdam News. (He was also present at The Salute To The Afro-American Woman). Ms. Charlayne Hunter-Gault, correspondent with MacNeil/Lehrer Report a news program on Public Broadcasting System television received an award for her contribution in the field of Journalism. Ms. Hunter-Gault was one of two students involved in the landmark case in the early 60's presented against the University of Georgia. The outcome of this case enabled Afro-Americans, for the first time, admission into a southern university that was predominately white. Ms. Hunter-Gault is married to Mr. Ronald Gault, Commissioner, Department of Employment for the city of New York, and is the daughter of Brother Reverend Dr. John H. Hunter of Atlanta, Georgia. We must also mention that Ms. Nazeda Davis, our Ms. Black and Gold Queen, a student at Columbia Law School, also spoke on the topic: The Challenges of the Afro-American Woman." We are never complacent.
