Smith University (Charlotte, North Carolina) would like to extend congratulations to all of the newly elected chapter officers across the country — along with our hopes that your year will be as prosperous as ours. Alpha Omicron has developed a seven-point program for the coming year, in an effort to keep Alpha first on our campus. Our program includes: (1) a scholarship to the highest ranking freshman on campus; (2) a Leadership Training Course for progressive Black men to assess their values and goals; a service-oriented fund-raising activity to benefit the Charlotte community; (4) working with our court to develop a Black women's leadership workshop in the working world; (5) planning a Big Brothers weekend for disadvantaged youth; (6) holding Alpha Week on the campus in the Spring; (7) developing spiritual awareness through visiting Black churches in the community. Again, we wish all of our Brothers the very best in the coming year.

In addition, Red Cross presented the chapter with a certificate for the 60

Starting out this year's service agenda, several Brothers served as counselors for the Project Uplift Program, which is designed to acquaint Black high school juniors with UNC. In addition, several Brothers also served as counselors in the campus preorientation program for incoming Black freshmen. Other planned events include a "welcome back to school disco," a canned food drive, a Thanksgiving donation to an area family, and Founders' Week activities for December 1 -4, 1 9 8 1 . We also would like to congratulate Brother Darryl Hart on his selection to the UNC Interfraternity Council as Vice-President for Minority Affairs. We also extend congratulations to Brother David Brown on his election as chairperson of the UNC Black Greek Council. This year brings many challenges for the Brothers of the Mu Zeta Chapter, but the high standards of Alpha: Manly Deeds, Scholarship and Love for all Mankind, make us ready to meet those challenges. We wish the best for all our Brothers in the chapters across the land as they uphold the glory and true meaning of the noblest fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha.

georgia Eta L a m b d a Supports Youth D e v e l o p m e n t In the usual spirit of fraternal cooperation, the Eta Lambda Chapter continues to take care of the business of Alpha. Following the installation of Eta Lambda's very own Ozell Sutton to the post of General President, the Brothers embarked on their next project which was the Leadership Workshop for High School Students. Students from schools in the metro Atlanta area were invited to the workshop and the session covered the areas of public speaking, parliamentary procedure, group dynamics/interpersonal relations, and job interviews and recruitment. Brother Charles N. Hawk, Jr., principal of Smith High School presided over the workshop. This session, which was held at Morris Brown College in the John Lewis Gymnasium, was very successful and four representatives were sent to a summer workshop held at Benedict College in South Carolina.

Brother A. Reginald Eaves received award from Eta Lambda President Robert Willis at the chapter's Hungry Club Forum. The month of May was a very special month as Eta lambda presented its scholarship recipients to the public. This year's scholarship winners in the college division were Terrence Caldwell, a senior at Georgia Tech with a 3.1 gpa and a Clark College senior by the name of Anthony Hightower who sports a 3.5 gpa majoring in Political Science. Both Caldwell and Hightower received $ 1 , 0 0 0 each. In the high school division, the winners were presented with $ 4 0 0 dollars each. This year's winners were: Dexter Warrior of Harper High; Robert Russell, Turner High, and Curtis Hodges of Washington High. Academic certificates of merit were awarded to Gregory Norman, Archer High; Mack Daniel, Columbia; Scott Huie, Decatur; William McCrary, Douglass; James Fletcher, Gordon; Kerry Richards, Marietta; Stephen Seda, Smith; Dino Williams, Southwest Atlanta; and Clarence Matthews, Southwest DeKalb. Speaker for the forum was Brother A. Reginald Eaves, Fulton County Commissioner for the 5th District. Brothers Eaves gave the audience a brim-stoned speech that was very reminiscent of an old Southern Baptist sermon. Brother Eaves, along with former United Nations Ambassador Andrew Young, are candidates for the Atlanta's mayor seat. The annual Recognition Banquet was held on June 14, 1981 at Paschal's Motor Hotel. The keynote speaker was Brother Young who gave a talk about American relations with the third world countries.
