4 editor's review Greetings . . . BEFORE THE SPHINX? Question: Is The Sphinx the oldest of the magazines published by the eight predominately Black Greek-letter organizations? Answer: YES!!! There appears to be some confusion on this matter because the predecessor organization of one of the present Black fraternities premiered their journal in April, 1914. However, we would note for the record that The Sphinx first appeared (under that name and under the auspices of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.) in March, 1914. So, while there's always room for historical research on such matters (as we discovered while doing a feature on "The House of Alpha"), we stand by our contention that The Sphinx remains "first of all."

Moreover, it appears that The Sphinx is the second-oldest magazine in Black America — in continuous publication since March 1914 and pre-dated only by The Crisis of the NAACP (1910). Please let us know if you have additional information in this regard . . . On the subject of historical research, we are pleased to note that our search for the original version of Brother Sydney P. Brown's poem "The House of Alpha" was successful. The surprising "find" which resulted from our "dig" will be featured in our next issue . . . Sadly, we must also report the slaying of Brother Brown's son — Brother Nelson Brown — in his law offices in Chicago. An Omega Chapter tribute to him will also appear in our next edition . . . As most of you probably know, our cover subject for this issue is Brother Malvin R. Goode. His greatly abbreviated biography is fascinating reading — both for those too young to even remember the time when there were no Black news correspondents on network television; and, for those "mature" enough to recall the pride they felt when Brother Goode beamed over the airwaves on ABC to become the "very first." We sincerely hope that all will enjoy Mai's saga, The Voice of Change . . . A number of our contributors in this issue are in Eta Lambda Chapter, Atlanta, Georgia. Brother James Thompson submitted the article on fellow Morehouse and Alpha Rho alum Ralph Everett; and Brother Larry Epps sent the article on Brother Charles S. Johnson III. Both are featured in There Goes An Alpha Man. Also, Brother James Brawley, President Emeritus of Clark College in Atlanta, penned our Legacy feature: Sixty Years An Alpha Man — which is reprinted from the Eta Lambda journal, the chapter newsletter edited by Brother Epps . . . Turning to Fraternity outreach, Brother Walter Sullivan examines the NCAA's Propostion 48 in his column; and Brother Waldo Johnson, Jr. presents a schedule of the upcoming Regional Leadership Development/Citizenship Education Institutes in his Speaking of Programs feature . . . Commentary departs from its usual format to present an incisive article on careers in the energy field, penned by Brother David Smith of Mu Mu Lambda Chapter (seated in the western suburbs of Chicago) . . . While we always lament the passing of any Brother to Omega Chapter, allow me to add personal tributes to several stalwart Alpha men memorialized in this issue: Brother Leven C. Weiss, who served as General Treasurer for fifteen years and offered wise counsel to this apprentice in service to Alpha; Brother James Cummings, Vice President of the National Council of Churches and Bishop of the CME Church; Brother Jay Taylor, a workhouse for the Fraternity in Denver, Colorado; and Brother Frederick D. Hall. Dr. Hall was Chairman of the Music at Dillard University when they allowed me out of the backwoods of Mississippi. As much as anything that I may have picked up in the classroom, the opportunity to speak with and learn from a Black man who had attended the Julliard School of Music and received a Ph.D. from Columbia University served to affirm all that our teachers had proclaimed. Indeed, the sky was — and is — the limit!!! . . . Until next issue . . ^_MJP.

THE GENERAL PRESIDENT SPEAKS DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT! "It is not enough to k n o w what has been or to know what is but we must learn what ought be and do something about it."

The author of this quotation is unknown. Yet it speaks so pointed and so eloquently to Black America. I have chosen it as the opening statement in the General President's Message. The time has come when the leaders and leading organizations of Black America, especially Alpha Phi Alpha, must move from mere analysis to action, from definition to determination and from articulation to actualization.

Another well-known quotation of unknown origin comes to mind in making my point - "Knowledge is knowing what is. Wisdom is knowing what ought be. Virtue is transforming what is into what ought be."The time is now when Alpha must begin to transform what is into what ought be.

In other words, we must begin "doing something about it."

We know what unemployment is high, nearly 11%. We know that Black unemployment is devastating, close to 25%. We know that Black youth are unemployed at a catastrophic rate in excess of 50 %.

We know that we live in a climate hostile to the legitimate hopes and aspirations of Black, Brown and poor Americans. We know that cutbacks in

the funds for education and social welfare are working havoc with Black youths' opportunity to attend college.

These cutbacks are causing extensive hunger in this land of plenty and are having a deteriorating effect on the health of our people from unborn babies to senior citizens.

This grave situation poses an imperative upon Black America the like of which has not been seen in many years.

We must act decisively and definitively upon these conditions and this situation. The imperative to Alpha Phi Alpha is to give leadership to Black America in implementation of a plan for "Doing Something About It." Alpha has a long and distinguished history of concrete and decisive action in the face of critical imperatives. The Fraternity now can do no less. It has a program of action — "The New Alpha Thrust." The need is for every Brother, every chapter, state and regional unit to implement that program.

There are four programs of high priority in "The New Alpha Thrust" that I urge we implement. They are: • Completion of the Million Dollar Fund Drive: There is no question but that the NAACP, NUL and UNCF are essential to the well-being of Black Americans. We must complete the Drive by the August General Convention. All great chapters of Alpha are called to the aid of the Fraternity . . . to enroll in the 100 For Alpha Club.

This is the group that will go the extra mile to protect and uphold the good name and image of the "House of Alpha."

• A-Phi-Aid Conferences: The A-Phi-Aid Conferences are designed to assist Black high school seniors in the identification of sources of financial aid for college attendance and how to qualify. With the extensive cutback in BEOG and other federal funds, Alpha can do no less than assist Black students in this way.

• Leadership Development/Citizenship Education Institutes (LD/CE): The Alpha Leadership Development and

Citizenship Education Institutes will be held this summer with one sponsored in each of the five regions. Our purpose is to give Black junior and senior high school students the tools of leadership - public speaking, parliamentary usage, community organization techniques, group dynamics, self-actualization, etc. Each chapter is urged to send at least one student to the Institute in its region.

• Networking: One Alpha imperative is to give leadership to "networking" among people and organizations to bring a combined impact on issues critical to the Black Experience. Your Fraternity is meeting this responsibility in a number of ways: • National Leadership Conference.

Alpha is joining with Sigma Gamma Rho, Zeta Phi Beta, Delta Sigma Theta, and Alpha Kappa Alpha sororities and Phi Beta Sigma, Kappa Alpha Psi and Omega Psi Phi fraternities in a "National Leadership Conference" in Chicago - May 27-29, 1983. The Executive Boards of the eight organizations will network and outline a program of joint action on national issues critical to the Black Experience.

• 20th Anniversary March on Washington. The 1963 March on Washington was for Jobs & Freedom and was directly responsible for passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The August, 1983 March will be for Jobs Freedom and Peace. We will again turn this country around and force it to focus on human needs and human yearnings for a life free of hunger, free of needless pain and free of fear of annihilation from nuclear war.

Alpha is at the core of the planning and mobilization for the March, hold a position on the Steering Committee.

Your Fraternity is involved and at the forefront of national leadership. It is enlisted in the struggle. Each Brother, each chapter and each unit must, too, be enlisted in the struggle of "Doing Something About It." Fraternally,

" Ozell Sutton General President 2

THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY'S DESK SPRING CLEANING '83: For Efficient Chapter Operations

The time has again come for Chapters to undergo an annual ritual akin to the "spring cleaning" we'll do in our homes. We need to look around, clear up any problems which linger from this year that swiftly passed us by; and make preparations for the beginning of yet another year of fraternal activity. Your chapter will be a better one if you would review this list of "must do's" for the next few weeks.

Passing the Gavel: Our Constitution mandates that the election of Chapter Officers be held in April for College Chapters and in May for Alumni Chapters. All Chapters should file a Chapter Directory, listing your new officers, with the General Office within ten (10) days of your election. College Chapters officers might also need to file a "Summer Address'' in order for us to maintain the lines of communication.

The Chapter Guide: The 1983-84 Chapter Guide Kit has been prepared and distributed at each of the Regional Conventions. Those chapters not represented should contact their State/Regional/District Director for a copy. As usual, this kit contains the basic forms needed for your chapter's operation during the next year. Please see that the newly elected officers

The Sphinx / Spring 1983

receive and review this material! And don't forget to take the time to read the Chapter Guide Manual — it will answer many of your questions about the operation of the Fraternity and prepare your leaders for a successful year.

No Passcard? A number of Brothers who submitted Grand Tax still have not received Passcards — primarily because of failure to complete and return the Computer Data Forms as required. Others might be held for underpayment of fees. Before you call the General Office, ask the appropriate chapter officer to check the pink copy of the Remittance of Funds form (which is returned as a receipt for monies received). The reasons for holding any and all materials should be spelled out on this form. After taking this step — and gathering any information or material requested — contact the General Office to clear up the matter. Always refer to the Remittance Number (found at the bottom of the form) when corresponding with the office.

Initiation Materials: Similarly, a number of chapters are awaiting receipt of shingles, passcards and other materials for newly initiated members.

Aside from the more obvious errors (like failure to receive authorization or underpayment of fees), two mistakes are common among the files being held in the General Office. They are a) failure to complete and return Copy #3 (White) of the Notice Initiation form, indicating successful completion of a scheduled initiation; and b) failure to submit Computer Data Forms for initiates. We urge you to contact the General Office immediately to clear up these matters before the summer break.

Ah, The Chapter Tax! As most of you who attended the Regional Conventions already know, payment of Chapter Tax is a prerequisite for active participation. The same will apply at the General Convention in New Orleans, so please clear up any questions in this regard to avoid problems on site.

What Does Alpha Do? The Alpha Phi Alpha Education Foundation is again preparing an annual report on the contributions and program activities of Alpha Chapters. The 1982-83 Report of Program Activities may be found in your Chapter Guide. Please complete and return same to the General Office by June 1st.

On To New Orleans: Each active member will soon be receiving the Registration Forms for the 77th Anniversary Convention in New Orleans.

Late Fees (due for registration after July 1st) are $30 for both College and Alumni registrants; and $10 for Weekend College Brothers. Do yourself — and us — a favor and REGISTER EARLY!!! Chapter contact persons will also be receiving Delegate Credentials, to be returned to the General Office. Only those members active as of May 1st will be used to compute chapter delegate strength.

Prompt attention to these items will insure that your chapter can begin the new year without the hassle of trying to clear up old problems. Now is the time to act!!!

Fraternally yours, *

James B. Blanton Executive Secretary

25, 1982 at the Supreme Court as the first Black appointed to the Georgia Board of Bar Examiners, a five member group responsible for preparing the state bar examination as well as grading it. It is a very significant accomplishment for all of Black people. In addition to grading the volumes of tests, each member of the board has to prepare two questions a year for the essay portion of the test. Brother Johnson, an Atlanta attorney, is a third-generation A l p h a m a n .

A native of Nashville, Tennessee, where his grandfather was the first Black President of Fisk University, Johnson received his elementary and secondary education in Dayton, O h i o .

Don't Forget the "7th Step" Yes, we know that there are Seven Jewels, et al . . . but the 7th Step referred to in this article is a non-ritualistic matter. It refers to the seven administrative steps required to process membership materials for new initiates.

For over two years now, we have been following the administrative procedures contained in the Standing Orders. However, it appears that some chapters still haven't gotten the word; or that, in the euphoria which follows initiation ceremonies, the important task of follow-through is neglected.

Under the Standing Orders the 7th and last step in the administrative process is to complete, have certified (by the initiation supervisor) and forward to appropriate officials Copies #3 - #5 of the Notice of Initiation Form

. . . indicating that a successful initiation did take place as approved. Even though the initiates were earlier approved by the Regional Vice President (or his designee); monies were duly receipted by the General Office; and, an Authorization to Conduct Initiation was issued — n o initiation materials will be prepared by the General Office until it receives Copy #3 of the Notice of Initiation.

To date, a number of initiates remain to be properly processed — awaiting only this one simple form! If your chapter is one of these, finish the 7th Step . . . and forward this form immediately. If your chapter has not received materials from spring or summer initiations, it would be advisable to contact the General Office on how to proceed.

ADMINISTRATIVE STEPS IN THE PLEDGE PROCESS STEP #1

STEP #2

STEP #3

STEP #4

Prior to Sphinx Club Induction . . .

The Chapter should secure from each applicant for admission the following materials: • Application for Membership • Transcripts (Proof of Degree for alumni aspirants) • Medical Statement Following chapter vote, the Chapter is to forward the abovementioned materials to the Regional Vice President,* along with the Notice of Intent to Conduct Pledge Activities (Copies 1 & 2) of Pledge Form). This should be done not later than two (2) weeks prior to the scheduled Sphinx Club Induction Ceremony.

The Regional Vice President will certify eligibility of applicants and indicate approval of the pledge program by returning Copy 2 of the Notice of Intent to the chapter.

Pledging Begins . . .

Upon the receipt of the approval from the Vice President, the chapter may induct approved applicants into the Sphinx Club and begin the pledge program. The pledge program shall not exceed six (6) weeks in duration - from Sphinx Club Induction through the initiation ceremony.

Prior to Initiation Ceremony . . .

STEP #5 - No later than fifteen (15) days prior to the initiation ceremony, the Chapter is to forward all initiation fees to the General Office. These monies should be accompanied by the Remittance of Funds and Pin Order forms.

STEP #6 — Following receipt of fees in the General Office, the Regional Vice President will issue an Authorization to Conduct Initiation. No initiation is to be conducted without a signed authorization.

Following Initiation . . .

STEP #7 - Within three (3) days following the initiation ceremony, the Chapter is to complete the Notice of Initiation (Copies 3-5 of the Pledge Form) — to indicate which candidates were successfully initiated. Copy 3 is sent to the General Office (which will issue membership materials); Copy 4 to the Regional Vice President and Copy 5 is retained for the chapter files. *The Regional Vice President, where appropriate, may designate state/district/area officials to act in his behalf in this process.

It must be stressed that the above is a condensed outline for the information of the entire Brotherhood. Please consult The Standing Orders for full information.

EDUCATION FOUNDATION A Look At the Changing Admissions Scene

Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., has had, since its inception, a strong commitment to excellence in education and scholarship. The Fraternity has supported and sponsored many efforts to sustain this commitment via financial, moral, and motivational activities.

The founding of the Alpha Phi Alpha Education Foundation, Inc. (hereafter referred to as the Foundation), was preceded by a highly successful and memorable program entitled "Go To High School — Go To College." This viable program was warmly supported by individual Brothers and Chapters and, in turn, was responsible for motivating many young men and women to further their education The philosophy of this program continues to find expression through current programs of the Foundation.

The Sphinx / Spring 1983

Many issues continue to surface which have a significant impact on the admission of Black youth to colleges and universities, especially white institutions. These have included the furor generated about SAT scores of Blacks, the NCAA's Proposition 48 regarding athletes, and the restructuring of entrance requirements for students in general.

It has been duly noted that SAT, ACT and other standardized tests may have inherent biases which adversely affect Blacks; however, it is extremely noteworthy that there is an increase in score achievement by Blacks in recent times. It is anticipated that this trend will continue. It is foolhardy, however, for an educational institution to place full or heavy reliance on such scores for admissions purposes.

A considerable amount of discussion has arisen about the stance which some Black college presidents and some Black leaders assumed with regards to Proposition 48 as passed by the NCAA. This proposition creates admissions standards for all Division IA institutions as pertaining to student athletes. The standards include the achievement of a SAT score of 700 and 2.00 high school grade-point average in specified disciplines by student athletes. Some Blacks objected strenuously to the passage of these standards and were accused of portraying a "betrayal" of Black athletes a n d / o r a plea for special consideration for Black colleges in Division IA. The situation was misinterpreted or deliberately distorted by many whites, as judged from their reactions.

The argument against Proposition 48 could have been stated in such a manner that the real problem would have surfaced. It should not come as a surprise to anyone that Black colleges have, for years, served many students who were ill-prepared in high school and have produced magnificent jewels. Black colleges have learned innovative methods of teaching such students and have provided them with careful counseling, tutoring, and nurturing.

The problem is that white colleges have

not a n d / o r cannot develop such methodologies or have refused to devote energies and talents to the situation. Rather, white institutions have willingly accepted talented Black athletes, used them for monetary gain, and discarded them once their eligibilities were terminated. If students are accepted at various minimum standards, then instructional thrusts must be geared to reflect the same. Black colleges should not receive a penalty for their willingness and efforts to address the problem. The net result is that many talented Black athletes will find the path blocked to lucrative professional athletic contracts because of Proposition 48.

Our answer to Proposition 48 is to alert all students to changing admissions standards - no matter whether the students plan to pursue athletics or not. We must form information networks with Black leaders, churches, fraternities and sororities, and social action agencies in order to spread this information. These groups, in turn, should alert students and their parents of the same. We still have time over the next four years. We must ensure the availability of a collegiate education for our youth so that we will have Blacks as political leaders, businesspersons, managers, planners and others in the days ahead. Failure to do this will serve as a serious indictment on our commitment to excellence and survival.

Fraternally

Walter Sullivan, Chairman Alpha Phi Alpha Education Foundation

Greetings Brothers: In assessing our ability as Black Americans to survive our present plight, Alpha men realize that strong leadership for the future is critical.

Therefore, youth developmental programs such as the Leadership Development and Citizenship Education (LD/CE) Institutes and the A-Phi-Aid Financial Aid Counseling Programs have been created for institutionalization in the Black community to assist them in achieving the kind of training to answer the call to lead; the Conferences on Teen Pregnancy were designed to curtail the robbery of Black adolescent males in their development toward maturity and to assist them in acquiring wise decision-making skills; and, fraternal scholarship programs have assisted deserving young scholars to continue their education at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

The latter program already has an impressive record and can boast of many of America's greatest educational, political, and community leaders as beneficiaries of our benevolence. One can feel sure that the former programs will also, in time, be judged equally well. While this will bring more laurels to Alpha Phi Alpha's praise, the greatest laurel is found in Alpha's pledge toward nurtur8

ing a generation of Black Americans fully equipped to meet the challenges of an ever-changing society, the induction of self-supporting Black men and women into American society, and ultimately, strong leadership for Black America and the world.

Our efforts to provide service to the community are ever-expanding. We are continuously being sought out by national, regional, and local community service and educational organizations to assist them in performance of their goals. These organizations not only recognize Alpha Phi Alpha's commitment to service but more importantly, they realize Alpha's ability to mobilize its members for execution of the task assigned. Most recently, the American Cancer Society asked Alpha Phi Alpha to join in their efforts to educate the Black community of the high incidence of cancer among Blacks.

As a result, a series of component programs are being developed for chapter participation in the national thrust.

The Alpha Phi Alpha/American Cancer Society Education Project has been formally endorsed by General President Ozell Sutton and Brother LaSalle Leffall, M.D., former President of the American Cancer Society and Chairman, National Advisory Committee on Minorities and Cancer. Their letters urging your participation in this project were included in the March Chapter Bulletin. I join them in urging your strong support and participation.

May 15-21, 1983, has been designated as Alpha Phi Alpha's "Business Encouragement Week." Each chapter has received a sample proclamation which should be used as a reference in developing the official one from the mayor's office. Where there is more than one chapter in a city, they should join together (as a delegation) in seeking to secure this one mayoral proclamation. A collaboration of chapters throughout a particular state might seek a state-wide designation from the governor. Programs which encourage and give assistance to development a n d / o r maintenance of Black business are appropriate.

The Action Guide: A Handbook for Implementation of the New Alpha Thrust Programs was also distributed to each chapter with the March Chapter Bulletin. The community service programs of the New Alpha Thrust are outlined for chapter use.

The official kick-off of the A Ipha Phi Alpha Minority Health Fair Program was held the week of April 3-9, 1983

in Chicago. Xi Lambda and Iota Delta Lambda Chapters spearheaded the week-long activities which included various health screening and health educational services. A number of college and alumni chapters throughout the Fraternity have already made plans to sponsor a Minority Health Fair during this fraternal year and an even larger number have committed themselves to involvement in this program during the next year. Coverage of these activities will be included in the next issue of The Sphinx.

In conclusion, a schedule of the upcoming activities of the Fraternity through July 1983 has been provided.

It's difficult to imagine today — when Ed Bradley, Max Robinson and Carol Simpson are so much a part of the television news scene — but twenty years ago there were no Black correspondents on the networks.

Brother Mai Goode changed all that.

It has been a long road from the period of slavery in these United States but those who have lived through much of this century — like Brother Mai Goode — have been fortunate enough to make the connection and also to understand the meaning of those who say . . . "We have come a long way, but we still have a long way to go."

10

Born on the land given to his paternal grandparents at the time of the Emancipation Proclamation — in Brunswick County, Virginia — Brother Goode was reared in a steel town across the river from Pittsburgh called Homestead, Pennsylvania. Here his father worked in the open hearth of (then) the largest steel mill in the world . . . the Homestead Works of Carnegie Steel,

which was later to become a part of the U.S. Steel Corporation.

His father, William Goode, had been in school for three weeks when he was taken out to help with a "heavy harvest" and never got back. Mother Goode, who had been a school teacher and attended West Virginia Collegiate Institute (later to become West Virginia State College) taught Mr. Goode how The Sphinx / Spring 1983

Continued from Page 10 to read and write; but the six children, at the insistence of Mr. Goode, managed to get a good education. Young Mai started working at night in that same mill when he was just a sophomore in high school and continued there through high school, college, and five years of the Depression after finishing the University of Pittsburgh.

The inspiration came from parents w h o believed . . . "You're no better than anyone and no one is any better than you" . . . the latter emphasized because Mai's parents knew Negro children would face bigotry at every turn and wanted to galvanize them against it. There were no Black teachers in Homestead's public schools nor at the University of Pittsburgh. Most Black children, after finishing high school, were off to the mills or to work as domestics or to other jobs of servitude.

If fortunate enough to get to schools of higher learning, a Black student faced bigotry at every turn and needless to say — whether in the mill, operating an elevator in a department store or serving as a janitor — the opportunity for moving upward was almost nil.

From the time he acquired an AB degree at Pitt until 1936, when the "real break" came, Brother G o o d e worked during the day as a porter at a Richman Brothers clothing store in Pittsburgh and continued in the mill two and three nights a week until 1935, when he returned to graduate school. The following year he gained an appointment in the County Juvenile Court System as a Probation Officer.

I should point out that while a junior at Pitt, Brother Goode was initiated in O m i c r o n Chapter on November 21, 1929 and had the opportunity of attending his first convention, marking Alpha's Silver Anniversary, in Cincinnati, December 26 to 31, 1931. Following a two-year stint at Juvenile Court, Brother Goode was appointed Boys' W o r k Director of the Centre Avenue YMCA in 1938 . . . a part of his long career which he considers today one of The Sphinx / Spring 1983

the best, for he had the opportunity to work with poor boys of the Pittsburgh area. Though in a segregated YMCA, he saw many of those boys grow to become stalwarts in their professions: like medical doctors and Brothers Leon Williams and Bill Miller; educators like Dr. Jesse Gloster of Texas Southern University and the late Brother Clifton Williams of C o l u m b u s , Georgia; Attorney George Shields of Pittsburgh, and m a n y others. Mai was denied promotion to Executive Secretary of the YMCA branch because he irritated the d o w n t o w n "Y" officials — demanding equal p a r t i c i p a t i o n in basketball, swimming and other tournaments and refusing to accept a "separate," substandard, camp for his boys. Goode, through his friend and supporter as a layman, Brother Richard Jones, accepted an appointment on the managerial staff of the Pittsburgh Housing Authority and for six years served there until felled by a heart attack in 1948.

The next real break came when, after complete recovery, Brother Goode joined the staff of the Pittsburgh Courier, then the largest and most prestigious Negro newspaper in the world — with sixteen editions and a circulation of nearly four hundred thousand each week. This led to the beginning of his radio and television news career; for in 1949, Pittsburgh station KQV offered the Courier a 15 minute time slot to fill with commentary, two nights each week. That soon became very popular and KQV sought pay for the time. The Courier refused and sought a time slot on a smaller station, W H O D , where Brother Goode's sister (the late M a r y Dee, the first Black w o m a n in radio) had a religious music program. From five minutes each afternoon in 1950, Brother Goode's time increased to three 15 minute programs and a 10 minute sports program each day until 1956, when the station was sold to new owners. Goode continued with the Pittsburgh Courier and part time with other local A M stations. In the late fifties Brother Goode was thwarted at every attempt to catch on with Pittsburgh TV stations, although one official of station KDKA told him . . . "I k n o w you can do it, Mai, but I don't think the time is ripe yet." Another at WTAE said in 1958, "the criticism of whites will hurt us."

Finally in 1962, Jackie Robinson went to Pittsburgh to speak for a B'nai Brith Lodge and told Mai he had talked the previous week with Jim Hagerty,

former Eisenhower Press Secretary and then Vice President of ABC News. The network was looking for a "Negro newsman" w h o could take the heat. Six months later, after some "searching" ABC hired Goode in August 1962 and a saga began which, if told in detail, all the pages of the next fifty issues of The Sphinx could not carry. Suffice it to say that the will of God, the support of the Black Church, the long fight of the N A A C P and the push of Jackie Robinson, and one cannot forget, the encouragement of a great family-made Brother Goode's odyssey a success.

Their support, their encouragement, combined with that great era of the sixties, not only made it easier — but helped open the doors for m a n y others, like Max Robinson, Carol Simpson, George Straight, Maureen Bunyan, J. C. H a y w o o d , Bernard Shaw, Ed Bradley, Cathie Milton, and Hal Walker.

This is not to say that all is well, for news officials still "count" those with dark skins — thus "tokenism" is still prevalent.

Nevertheless, Brother Goode had several opportunities in the early stages of his career to show the powers-that-be that a Black man could read from a teleprompter or prepare a one minute "stand-up report." Mai's biggest break came in October 1962, during the Cuban missile crisis. O n Sunday, October 28, Brother Goode gave nine radio and eight TV reports on U.N. Security Council debates in progress on this crisis — several times breaking into regular programs that Sunday to the introduction. "We interrupt this program to bring you Mai Goode with the latest report on the Cuban missile crisis." This exposure etched Mai's sonorous baritone into the minds of millions and catapulted his tawny face to national recognition.

Letters and comments poured in, along with telephone calls, but the one best remembered came from a lady from Spartanburg, South Carolina w h o said, "I think that was a colored Continued on Page 12 11

Continued on Page 11 man who eased my fears all day long Sunday with reports on the developments in the missile crisis and I want to thank him. And if he was a colored man, I want to congratulate ABC — for this is America and that's the way it ought to be." ABC news officials had the letter duplicated and distributed to others in the ABC family - all of themn flush with "pride" and subconsciously feeling "we did not make a mistake," not so much on selecting Brother Goode, but on hiring someone Black just seven weeks before. In all fairness, it was a long time before there was any major move toward fair hiring. In fact, as indicated earlier, there's still a semblance of tokenism.

In 1963 Goode was given the privilege of spending nine weeks in Africa, along with four colleagues, teaching courses in journalism to African news editors, reporters, radio news people; and a few from Nigeria and Ghana, where TV was just breaking in. The greatest opportunities came however, during the Civil Rights demonstrations and confrontations — including riots in cities like Philadelphia, Jersey City, Brooklyn, Chicago, and Plainfield, New Jersey. Mai gained too, the opportunity to know and love men like Brothers A. Clayton Powell, Jr. and Martin Luther King, Jr.; as well as Malcolm X; Carl Tokes, then Cleveland's Mayor; Richard Hatcher; Ralph Abernathy; Bernard Lee; Hosea Williams; Parren Mitchell; Clarence Mitchell; Roy Wilkins; and some great white Americans of that era who aided our cause: Ivan Allen, then Mayor of Atlanta; Branch Rickey; Joe L. Brown, General Manager of the Pirates; President Lyndon Johnson. Mai also credits, with all their prejudiced attitudes, Lester Maddox and George Wallace — for they did so much to change the minds of many Americans who just did not believe human beings could have those attitudes toward their fellow men.

The experiences of walking with James Meredith along the Mississippi 12

Highway for days; with weeks of travel with the Poor Peoples March from Marks, Mississippi to Resurrection City in Washington to the closing down of that encampment; the funeral of Brother Martin Luther King, Jr.; the ascension of Rev. Jesse Jackson to a position of leadership are just some of the events he not only saw take place, but had the opportunity to report while with ABC. One cannot forget, of course, Brother Goode's many news experiences at the United Nations, watching the membership of African nations grow from only seven in 1962 to more than fifty today. Fifty-one nations with real clout - clout which upsets the Western powers and too, the Soviet Union, for these young African diplomats know their power and despite the evil of South Africa (oftimes supported by our nation) these brilliant African diplomats are not discouraged for they say two things: 1) "Time is on our side" and 2.) 'We will never be satisfied until every square inch of Africa is free."

This they mean!

After retiring from ABC in 1973 following a career which took Brother Goode into forty-two foreign countries and speaking in more than four hundred American cities and lecturing or delivering commencement or Founders' Day addresses on sixty-two college campuses, Goode joined with Brother Eugene Jackson and his colleagues, who had just founded the National Black Network, in July 1973. During that long career, Brother Goode was honored by the National Bar Association and the National Medical Association; with the Mitchell Clark Award from Columbia University's School of Journalism and the Mary McLeod Bethune Award from Bethune-Cookman College; and received more than 125 other awards, including an honorary degree from Shaw University.

Brother Goode will tell you, as indicated before, that his wealth is not in the career, but is in his family. They are his wife, Mary, to whom he has

been married forty-six years, and six children: Mai, Jr., graduate of Penn State and retired Lt. Colonel from the Air Force, now living in Honolulu; Robert, graduate of Westminster College, president of his graduating class, although there were only three Black students in a class of 297; Rev. Richard, head of the Urban Ministries program of the entire Church of God denomination with headquarters in Anderson, Indiana. He is a graduate of West Virginia University, where he was the first Black to play in the band and orchestra and first on the debating team, and also earned a Master of Sacred Theology degree from Wesley Seminary in Washington, D.C.; Roberta, graduate of Virginia Union, Master's in Education from City College and teacher in the Teaneck, New Jersey school sytem; Ronald, who attended Hampton Institute and Huston-Tillotson College in Austin, Texas, now an electrician; and Rosalia, high honor graduate of Spelman College, who earned her law degree at Duke University and now practices law in Pittsburgh.

Brother Goode, oftimes called "The Voice of Alpha," loves his Fraternity and never forgets Brothers like the late Walter Talbot, Howard Hairston, Theron Hamilton, Jesse Brown and other Brothers from Omicron and Omicron Alpha Lambda in Pittsburgh; Richard Jones, Max Johnson, Woody Harris, Charlie Cuthbert, Frank Bolden and others. He speaks with great fondness for the late Dr. Walter Talbot, who taught for years at Lincoln University in Missouri and later at Morgan, whom Brother Goode calls "the greatest friend a man could have had in this life."

Of all these experiences Brother Goode recalls the privilege of cochairing and addressing the Diamond Anniversary of Alpha Phi Alpha in Dallas in 1981 — the "top of the mountain." Recalling that God gave him the privilege of attending the Silver Anniversary in 1931 in Cincinnati; the Golden Anniversary in Buffalo in 1956; then the Diamond Jubilee - he now looks forward to the Centennial in 2006. The fickle heart that first felled Mai in 1948 kept him from attending the 1982 General Convention in Los Angeles. But he was certainly there in spirit, as his Fraternity awarded him its highest honor for a member — The Alpha Award of Merit.

Continued on Page 13 The Sphinx / Spring 1983

As indicated earlier, neither time nor space will permit listing details of a career which spanned more than sixty years from a shoe shine boy in a barber shop at eleven years of age, through twelve years in the steel mill through high school, college and the Depression, Juvenile Court, YMCA, Pittsburgh Courier, local radio over a period of fourteen years, then another eleven years with ABC and the past ten years with a Black-owned communications venture, the National Black Network.

For all his "firsts" — he was the first Black member of the National Association of Radio and TV News Directors and the Radio and TV News Analysts, serving as President of the latter group, and of the U.N. Correspondents Association — Mai is proud of his association with National Black Network. He recalls times at ABC when certain stories — on African development, civil rights, et al — were oftimes dismissed . . . "we're too crowded" or "we'll try to get it on the next report" were the usual explanations. He happily reports that there are no such restrictions at NBN — just a commitment to "the truth." And that's all a truly professional journalist could ever ask!

WINDY CITY NOTES: In the aftermath of the successful election in Chicago of Congressman Harold Washington to the office of Mayor, two Alpha Brothers stand out for special kudos. Brother Lu Palmer, veteran journalist and community activist (and former Sphinx regular), mobilized his grassroots organization — Chicago Black United Communities (CBUC) — early last year to spearhead the massive voter registration drive in the Black community that made Washington's victory possible. CBUC also conducted the "straw poll" last summer that i d e n t i f i e d W a s h i n g t o n as t h e favorite among Black mayoral possibilities. Lu's outspoken posture via his radio commentary feature, Lu's Notebook, led Illinois Bell to withdraw its sponsorship of the program. That move further incensed the Black community — adding fuel to the registration effort . . . and Lu was kept on the air, without cor-

Johnson, who was the largest single contributor to the mayoral campaign — giving at least $26,000 through his Johnson Publishing Company and more through other ventures in which he has an interest. . . .

POLITICOS: While most of the attention was focused on Chicago, there was action on other fronts in the arena of public service. . . . In Kansas City, Missouri, B r o t h e r Mark Bryant scored a victory to become the second Alpha man on the City 14

Council. Brother Bryant, elected atlarge, joins Brother Emmanuel Cleaver, 5th District Councilman, on that body. . . . Brother Charles Rangel was named a Democratic Deputy Whip in the U. S. House of Representatives — making the Harlem congressman a key member

of the party's leadership team. . . .

And, on the executive side, the antics of his boss — James Watt — have unfortunately obscured the w e l l - d e s e r v e d a p p o i n t m e n t of Brother J. J. "Jake" Simmons, III as Under-Secretary of the Interior.

Brother Simmons is an oil magnate (and a Democrat) from Muskogee, Oklahoma. . . . Brother Curtis Atkinson has been tapped for the position of Assistant Secretary of State and Chief of Staff by Georgia Secretary of State Max Cleland. . . .

Brother E, W. Cromartie was one of two attorneys who became the first Blacks elected to the City Council in Columbia, South Carolina. . . . And, Massachusetts was the scene of the election of Brother Royal Boiling to the State Senate and the appointment of Brother James Hoyt to Governor Michael Dukakis' cabinet as Secretary of Environmental Affairs. . . . IN THE RUNNING: In addition to those who have achieved their goals, you can look forward to seeing some other "Alpha hats" tossed in the ring. . . . Back in Chicago, Brother Lu Palmer is already a declared candidate for the 1st Congressional District seat being vacated by Mayor-Elect Washington.

Among those also rumored to be considering that race are Brother John

Stroger, Cook County Commissioner, a n d B r o t h e r Eugene S a w y e r , Chicago Alderman. . . . Brother Mel King is making his second r u n for Mayor of Boston, Massachusetts; as is the incumbent Mayor of Birmingham, Alabama, Brother Richard Arrington. . . . In addition, there is a s t r o n g p o s s i b i l i t y t h a t U. S. R e p r e s e n t a t i v e Harold Ford (D-Tennessee) will announce his bid for Mayor of Memphis, where Brother J. O. Patterson, Jr. served a brief stint as Acting Mayor this past year. And, Illinois Comptroller Roland Burris is said to be eyeing both the U. S. Senate race in 1984 and the gubernatorial campaign in 1986. . . . AT ODDS: Brother Edward W. Brooke, the only Black elected to the U.S. Senate in this century, is elated at the recent court ruling which stated t h a t the initials "NAACP" belong solely to the established civil rights organization and can be withdrawn by that group at any time from the (separate) NAACP Legal Defense and Education F u n d (LDF). B r o t h e r Brooke represented the NAACP in the litigation that led to that decision. Not so happy was Brother William Coleman — the former Secretary of Transportation who serves as Chairman of the Board of the LDP. . . .

General President Sutton Installed for Second Term It snowed In Atlanta — closing the huge airport and prompting Mayor Young to quip that "Alphas from Chicago" had b r o u g h t the unwelcome visitor. But those who could get through did so . . . and were treated to an informative and exciting weekend.

The affair stressed the development of leadership within the Fraternity. Held during this period were meetings of the Alpha Phi Alpha Education Foundation, Inc.,

They were treated to a Leadership Breakfast — which reviewed the status of the New Alpha Thrust Program — and attended a number of "how-to" workshops designed to assist them in the performance of their field service responsibilities.

Political Education Workshop: These sessions were held to help chapters develop sustained political education programs, which go beyond voter registration efforts.

The highlight of the weekend was, of course, the installation of Brother Ozell Sutton to a second term as the Fraternity's General President.

YEARS AN ALPHA MAN Continued from Page 17 program of the Fraternity, local and national. The high point in the meetings, always, was the closing when all the Brothers joined hands and became one in spirit as we sang "Alpha Phi Alpha, the pride of our hearts."

Becoming increasingly involved in administrative work, travel, and continued graduate study, it became almost impossible for me to continue active involvement with the Eta Lambda program.

My experiences and work as a member of Eta Lambda were enriching and rewarding. In the course of these years it was my good fortune to help entertain and participate in two General Conventions of Alpha Phi Alpha here in Atlanta. The first was in 1929 when I was the leading delegate, and the second in 1949, when the convention was hosted on the Clark College campus where I was President, and was the devotional leader for the sessions. I have seen Alpha Phi Alpha grow; in numbers, in vision, in purposeful programs, and in achievements.

Probably the most significant and meaningful experience I have had over the duration of Alpha life in Atlanta

has been with the campus Brothers. In the 1925-26 school year, the late Brother E. Luther Brooks and I discovered that there were several very fine young men at Clark University who desired to become Alpha men. We organized the "Oasis Club," took these young men in, and helped to keep their hopes alive. Brother Brookes and I asked Brother M. S. Davage, President of Clark, to attend the Alpha Phi Alpha General Convention being held in Richmond, Virginia in December 1926, and to make application for a chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha at Clark University. The application was approved and on January 28, 1927 the Alpha Phi Chapter was established.

The seven members of the "Oasis Club" became Charter members of this new chapter. From the organization of the "Oasis Club" in 1926 and the establishment of the Alpha Phi Chapter in January 1927, my relation to that chapter and the long roll of fine Alpha men from the charter members to the latest neophyte on the Clark campus, has never been broken or interrupted.

Nothing in the Fraternity has meant more than this to me over the six decades of my being an Alpha man.

Being President of the college, and even when I was Dean of the college, I had to give due recognition and impartial consideration to all of the Greek letter organizations, and also to nonGreeks, on the campus. There is something in Alpha Phi Alpha that made this easy for me to do and I could always be honest with all the young people. The Alpha men on the campus knew I tried to be honest, and fair to

all. They were proud of the fact that their President of the college was Alpha. They respected me as President and Brother and expected much of me.

So my role, and my relation to the Alpha men was that of trying to be a model Alpha man and being an image for them and for all the hopefuls. This of course was my role as an educator for all the students.

Being an image of leadership and achievement for the inspiration of Alpha men on the campus, and for all youth for that matter, is a role not to be taken lightly. What I found in Alpha Phi Alpha that helped me most was the Alpha Hymn, particularly the words: "manly deeds, scholarship, and love for all mankind." There is a universality in these words of the hymn that is applicable to the image figure, or image role. The "manly deeds" emphasis sets the standard for the highest level of living and relationships: "Scholarship" is the standard and sine qua non for greatest achievement: "Love for all mankind" supercedes all littleness, narrowness, and limitations regarding the choice of friends, save the excellence of their qualities.

I am happy to be an Alpha man. I am happy to belong to a fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha, that demands my greatest love, devotion and loyalty; but a fraternity so high in its idealism, so great in its wisdom, and so liberal in its human outreach, that it allows me to draw a circle that includes all mankind whose qualities are tested by the same universal qualities that characterize the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity.

COMMENTARY

& CAREERS IN ENERGY Targets Of

Opportunity

Brother David R. Smith is Assistant Chief Counsel for the U. S. Department of Energy, Chicago Operations Office. He is a member of Mu Mu Lambda Chapter in the western suburban area of Chicago.

We see many career opportunities developing as the nation attempts to gain control of the life-blood of this economy — available and affordable energy.

Introduction or the college bound person today, perhaps more than ever before, deciding on which career to pursue is difficult. Because race and sex, from an historical perspective, have played such significant roles in job selection, career-minded Blacks invariably chose careers in fields deemed "secure," e.g., education and civil service.

However, due to advances in civil rights and successes in equal rights for women, the past decade has recorded tremendous gains by Blacks and women into professions that traditionally had been reserved for white males. Even so, in many respects, these gains came at the tail-end of major advances by white males. Thus, whereas Blacks and women may have gotten on the train, they sat in the caboose while white males continued to serve as conductor and engineer.

F

olitical events will often offer solutions to such problems. The "energy crisis" brought about by the Arab oil embargo is such an event. The embargo affected every seg-

ment of our society, not only the large multi-national energy companies, but individual citizens as well, for we have all felt the impact of the energy crisis evidenced by long lines at service stations and ever-increasing fuel bills. Yes, the embargo made us aware of the importance of energy in our society. However, formulating an effective energy policy is difficult and complex for many competing interests must be dealt with. Yet, it is because of the complexity of the problem that we see many new career opportunities developing as the nation attempts to gain control of the life-blood of this economy — available and affordable energy. The aim of this article is to examine a few of the career opportunities that will become available as the United States attempts to find the means by which to more effectively and efficiently, utilize the conventional fuels — nuclear energy, oil and gas, and coal used in the traditional manner (direct burning), and to develop a host of so-called alternative energy resources such as solar, oil shale, coal liquefaction and gasification, geothermal energy from the earth's core, and biomass from trees, crops and other vegetation.

Technical Energy Careers

A

rchitect/Architect Engineer: Regardless of the ultimate energy solutions, we will have to more efficiently utilize facilities requiring conventional fuels, construct new facilities to process the new fuels, and to improve our energy-generating capacity through the rebuilding of existing power plants and the construction of new ones. Some will be of enormous size, rivaling the biggest oil refineries; others will be novel designs in unusual environments, such as coal gasification plants in North Dakota and oil shale facilities in the Rocky Mountain area of Wyoming and Colorado. In addition, homes throughout the nation will be modified or rebuilt to conserve energy and use the new fuels being developed. Architects will be needed to face the challenge of designing first-of-akind facilities as energy generation and comsumption continue to change.

c

hemist/Chemical Engineer: Over 90% of America's energy comes from chemical fuels. Chemists and chemical engineers are involved in every step of fuel manufacturing and 19

Thhe important

thing to remember is that there is little difference between the energy field and other businesses in terms of maximizing profits, etc. use from source to the disposal of wastes in the environment. Even nuclear power depends heavily upon chemists and chemical engineering for fuel manufacturing, the reprocessing of spent fuel, and the disposal of wastes. Since the quality of the environment is a function of its chemistry, there are also many opportunities for chemists here. No matter what direction future energy research and development takes, chemists and chemical engineers will find important jobs. ivil Engineer/Construction Engineer: The generation and transportation of fuel and electrical energy could not be accomplished without thousands of refineries, generating plants, and mining facilities connected by a web of roads, railroads, and power transmission lines. Civil engineers and construction engineers design and supervise the building of these structures. Within these general categories, there are such specializations as surveyor, power engineer, highway engineer, structural engineer, and so on.

The energy field is so wide in scope that all these specialities are represented. omputer Scientist/Programmer: Computers have become as essential in energy as they have in most business and technical activities.

The list of energy applications is very long, but a few examples are: Analysis of geophysical data and map preparation.

Control of electrical power distribution.

Control of petroleum refineries.

Analysis of oil field reservoirs.

Analysis of nuclear reactor designs.

he heavy use of computers in industrial control is a characteristic wherever large volumes of materials are processed or where automation is practical. It is safe to say that computers are employed at almost every point in the energy flow chart except in remote field operations and by the individual consumer of energy. Furthermore, like most big concerns, energy companies have thoroughly computerized their business operations. lectrical Engineer: Since about oneforth of the Nation's energy is being converted into electricity, which is the most convenient form of energy, electrical engineers are vital to our energy future. Hundreds of new fossil fuel and nuclear generating plants are scheduled for construction during the next 20 years. Electrical engineers

can look forward to employment in these more conventional areas or they can help in the search for alternate ways of generating electricity from the sun, the wind, ocean thermal differences, and other unconventional sources. Challenges also exist in electric power transmission, particularly in underground superconducting cables. In homes and factories, considerable energy can be saved by redesigning lighting and electrical machinery for more efficient operation — a trend that will be enforced by the rising cost of electricity.

and geochemical prospecting. Through the preparation of subsurface maps based upon these manifestations, plus geological data, the geophysicist recommends the drilling of test wells and the sinking of shafts in specific areas. Thus, he does not discover oil and other minerals directly, but rather pinpoints locations where the probability of discovery is high. Most new oil wells are found directly through the work of geophysicists, but of course they base their analyses in part on geological reconnaissance.

nvironmental Engineer: Environmental engineering has a threefold objective: 1. To protect people from the environment. 2. To protect the environment from people. 3. To clean up the environment.

arine Engineer/Naval Architect: Marine engineers (or naval architects) design and build structures for the sea, such as ships, piers, and offshore facilities. Aside from oil tankers, the most significant marine structures in the energy field are the offshore platforms supporting oil well equipment plus the accompanying underwater pipelines that carry the oil to shore. A closely allied type of structure is the offshore unloading facility for supertankers that cannot use docks due to size limitations or environmental obstacles. Grander schemes involve floating wind-generator platforms achored far offshore and floating structures for extracting power from the ocean's vertical thermal difference. Petroleum-handling facilities are now fairly well-developed, but the last two concepts may succeed or fail depending upon the marine engineer's ability to provide safe and long-lasting structures.

E

he generation and use of power can seriously affect the environment (and consequently people) through gaseous emissions, despoiling through mining, the release of heat, the disposal of radioactive wastes, oil spills, and the like. The use and misuse of energy is probably the greatest single threat to the environment. The environmental engineer thus has his or her work cut out.

T

eologist: Geologists often begin their careers on field crews, sometimes in foreign lands. Field parties hunting for new fuel sources make maps, collect samples, conduct test drilling, and employ seismometers, magnetometers, and other geophysical instruments. In the field, hours are frequently long and the weather inclement. But many geologists find this kind of work exciting. Geologists also work at desk and laboratory jobs analyzing the data collected by field crews. Here, the working conditions are more conventional. The analysis and interpretation of geological and geophysical data involve chemistry, radioactive dating, fossil identification, and the study of drill core samples and logs from test wells. Computers are widely employed in map making and data analysis.

G

eophysicist: In contrast to the geologist, who infers the presence of oil and other minerals from surface rocks and drilling samples, the geophysicist looks for telltale signs in the strengths and directions of the earth's magnetic and gravitational fields. He also studies the seismic records obtained from small test explosions. Other geophysical methods include electrical, radioactive,

G

M

athematician: Energy, the environment, and the interrelation between the two are very complex subjects involving many scientific and engineering variables. Mathematicians are needed to develop mathematical models of everything from the flow of oil through porous rock to electrical power grid behavior. In the area of environmental interactions, engineers need models of atmospheric pollution and the effects of power plant waste heat on river ecology.

These are just a few of the problems awaiting mathematicians.

M

echanical Engineer: Mechanical engineering is devoted to the , design, building, and production of machines — automobiles, air conditioners, computers — virtually everything considered essential in the modern world. Machines require energy to operate, and mechanical engineers are thus vital in solving the energy crisis.

There are three important areas where mechanical engineers can help: 1. The creation of better machines to mine, transport, and process natural fuels.

M

The Sphinx / Spring 1983

P

For example, improved automated underground coal-mining machinery is urgently needed.

2. The development of machines that can operate effectively with synthetic fuels. Mechanical engineers must redesign the internal combustion engine so that it runs efficiently on hydrogen-based fuels, but retains as many of the present production facilities as possible.

3. The redesign of contemporary machines so that they consume less energy. All engines in transportation as well as stationary machinery should be examined and possibly redesigned for higher efficiencies.

and operate nuclear power plants. The nuclear engineer's concern is the nuclear reactor, which heats a fluid (usually water) that turns a generator. Reactor design includes the fuel elements, the control systems, the pressure shell, and other containment and safety features. Nuclear engineering requires a knowledge of nuclear physics, heat transfer, strength of materials, electrical engineering, and parts of other disciplines. A nuclear engineer, therefore, is something of an all-round engineer. Other nuclear engineers are involved in the disposal of radioactive wastes.

hysicists are also involved in searching for ways to harness the deuterium in water, which is the greatest natural source of potential fuel that has been found. The search, in this case, concentrates on techniques of creating a controlled magnetic fusion reaction. Physicists apply magnetic fields to confine gases (plasmas) at temperatures as high as that inside the sun; or, they shoot laser beams at tiny fuel targets to ignite fusion reactions in which deuterium nuclei combine and release energy. The trick, so far not attained, is to do this economically on a sustained basis.

etallurgist: Our society and our metals are well-adjusted to the properties of coal and oil. It is in working with the newer forms of energy that the metallurgist will find the greatest challenges. Nuclear fuel elements, for example, operate at very high temperatures in the core of a reactor where intense fluxes of nuclear particles rip through metallic structures. If an energy economy based on hydrogen or its derivatives is developed, metallurgists will be called upon to provide pipes and containers and the requisite welding techniques for the new fuels. For example, hydrogen must be stored near absolute zero in a container material that does not allow the tiny hydrogen atoms to escape.

Solar power, too, has its material problems centering on the absorption and emission of radiant energy. Batteries, wind vanes, and geothermal power equipment are all in need of solutions for vexing materials problems.

etroleum Engineer: After geologists have selected a likely spot to drill a well, the petroleum engineer takes over. He selects the drilling equipment and supervises the drilling.

Once the well has been brought in, he is responsible for obtaining the maximum profitable recovery of oil and gas. Thus, there is a strong economic facet to this engineering discipline. It is customary to break petroleum engineering into three areas: (1) drilling and well completion; (2) oil production; and (3) reservoir engineering. In addition to the field and office work associated with getting oil and gas out of the ground, most oil companies have well-equipped research laboratories for the purpose of improving field techniques. Only a dozen or so schools offer 4-year programs in petroleum engineering, but it is relatively easy to move into the field with degrees in geology, geophysics, or mining engineering.

Other Energy Related Careers

M

ining Engineer: Mining engineers look for minerals and supervise their extraction from the earth.

In the search for mineral fuels (oil, coal, uranium), the mining engineer is augmented by the geologist and geophysicist. During the extraction phase, the petroleum engineer and geologist are valuable partners. The target mineral deposits may be located by geophysic instrumentation (seismography, magnetometer, gravimeter, Geiger counter), by surface and subsurface exploration or by microwave and infrared surveys from aircraft and satellites. The day of the lone prospector with pick and shovel are obviously gone. Once the desired minerals are found, the mining engineer plans and oversees the construction of mine buildings, tunnels, shafts, and the installation of machinery to recover coal, uranium, and other energyrich minerals.

M

N

uclear Engineer: Nuclear engineers work with mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, and other professionals to design, build,

P

hysicist: Physicists are generalists in the sense that they are trained in electricity, magnetism, sound, the structure of matter, and many other subjects that impinge on the energy problem. The two areas where their talents are most useful are in the search for new fuel sources and in the discovery and development of alternate energy sources. The fuel hunters are the geophysicists and are discussed separately.

No such specialization is possible in the hunt for new energy sources because the possibilities seem endless. In solar energy the study of the absorption and reflection of sunlight is a job for the physicist as is research on solar cells. Nuclear power has always been the physicists's domain, particularly the analysis of the reactor itself and radioactivity. Cryogenics (lowtemperature physics) is another area of expertise for physicists. This will be important if a low-temperature fuel, such as hydrogen, ever becomes dominant. Meanwhile, cryogenically cooled superconductors are being tested by physicists and electrical engineers for possible power transmission.

P

he technical careers listed above are just a few of the many energyrelated career possibilities. In addition to these, it is significant to note that resolving this country's energy problems will require a full complement of support personnel such as attorneys, accountants, economists, administrators/managers and salespeople.

The important thing to remember is that there is little difference between the energy field and other businesses in terms of maximizing profits, planning future activities, and measuring the performance of people and machines against established objectives. The energy field is broad enough to accommodate the interest and skills of a variety of professionals.

T

Conclusion he energy crisis has presented us with a unique and perhaps oncein-a-lifetime opportunity. In some measure, it will involve the creation of major new industries on the scale of the space and defense industries. The good news is that many of us have the opportunity to get involved on the ground floor and pursue challenging careers such as those mentioned above. In order to take full advantage of the opportunities that will become available, it may be necessary for career-minded individuals to relocate to sparsely populated parts of the country such as North Dakota, Wyoming and Montana where many of the alternative energy resources are located. The important thing to remember is that the energy frontier is here, ripe for exploration. There is a need for all Black Americans to get involved and take advantage of what the energy frontier presents and seriously consider relevant energy related careers. Who knows, perhaps in the final analysis, the energy crisis will turn out to be not a crisis at all, but rather a new beginning directed towards many targets of opportunity!

THE BLACK COLLEGES Tail's article is one of a series by the Education Foundation — in recognition and support of historically Black colleges.

MORRIS COLLEGE

Moving into the academic mainstream Morris College was established in 1908, under authorization granted by the Baptist Educational and Missionary Convention of South Carolina, "for the Christian and intellectual training of Negro y o u t h . " This was the beginning of a heroic venture in higher education by a group of men and women less than a half century removed from slavery.

In the beginning Morris College taught elementary, high school, and college students, with emphasis on the training of teachers and ministers. By 1946 it was operating solely as a college, with p r o g r a m s in teaching, liberal arts and theology.

In 1961, the w o r d " N e g r o " w a s eliminated from the institution's title, opening the doors to all ethnic groups. In 1978, Morris College received full a c c r e d i t a t i o n from the Southern Association of College and Schools.

From its beginning, Morris College has been a center for training ministers and teachers for the pulpits and schools of the state and the nation. Its five thousand graduates have added to the ranks of professionals and businessmen, and hundreds of Negro youth w h o otherwise never would have a t t e n d e d college have received the benefits of a higher education because of Morris College.

The College is experiencing impressive growth in the area of college development, as new academic programs are developed and new buildings planned to meet the needs of students.

Presently, the College offers The Sphinx / Spring 1983

The Library and Fine Arts Center at Morris College, in Sumter, South Carolina p r o g r a m s of study leading to Baccalaureate degree with major programs in Biology, Business Administration, Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, English, Fine Arts, History, Liberal Studies, Liberal/Technical Studies, Mathematics, Political Science/ History, Social Studies, Religious Education, and Secondary Education. Thus the College provides a sound program of education in selected curricular areas, undergirding education with the Christian philosophy of life.

Morris College is guided by the philosophy that any student w h o has completed high school should have the opportunity to earn a college education if the student is willing to make the effort to d o so. The College recognizes that many entering s t u d e n t s h a v e academic deficiencies, and it provides them an opportunity for overcoming these handicaps by maintaining a diagnostic a n d skills d e v e l o p m e n t center in the areas of reading, writing and mathematics. Assistance for students is provided through tutoring, lectures, seminars, audio-visuals and self-paced modes of learning tailored to fit each student's level of educational competency.

A native of Hartsville, South Carolina, Dr. Luns C. Richardson, President of

Morris College, graduated magna cum laude from Benedict College with a degree in English and social sciences. He received a Master's degree in higher education administration from Columbia University.

He has done additional s t u d y at several o t h e r institutions.

Prior to coming to Morris College in 1974, he served as a high school principal in the publicschools of South Carolina and in several capacities at Denmark Technical Education Center, Benedict College, and Voorhees College.

Dr. Richardson holds membership in and renders active service to many educational, fraternal, religious social service, and community service organizations.

He has been honored for distinguished service by such organizations as the

Dr. Luns Richardson, President of Morris College.

Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the LINKS, the South Carolina State H u m a n Affairs Commission, and the South Carolina State Baptist Brotherhood. He is listed in "Who's W h o A m o n g Black Americans." In 1981 he received the prestigious Distinguished Alumni A w a r d from Teachers College, Columbia University, New York City.

Under Dr. Richardson's leadership, the changes that have taken place at Morris College have been dramatic: • Most significantly has been the granting of kill accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in December, 1978.

• In 1974 when Dr. Richardson arrived, the College had a cumulative debt of $45,000; by 1977 this debt was liquidated and the College reported a surplus of $160,000.

• Student enrollment plunged to a low of 343 in 1974-75 (almost to the point of closing the doors) but reached an all-time high of nearly 700 in 1981.

• Annual alumni contributions increased from less than $3,500 in 1974 to nearly $50,000 in 1982.

• Library holdings increased from 21,000 in 1974 to over 100,000 volumes today.

THE BLACK COLLEGES • The Baptist Educational and Missionary Convention of South Carolina, owner of Morris College, increased its annual support to over $500,000 and pledged to increase this to $1,000,000 annually in the near future.

• Since 1974, the annual budget at Morris College has risen from $2,300,000 to over $4,000,000.

• Foundations provided important support, including grants of $127,000 from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and $30,500 from the Becton-Dickinson Foundation.

• Local corporate contributions increased significantly, including gifts from Campbell Soup Company of $40,000 and Georgia Pacific Co. for $25,000.

• The Sumter Chamber of Commerce conducted a b o o k drive that a d d e d 26,000 volumes to the new library.

• Over $500,000 has been invested in campus building renovation and improvements.

• A new Learning Resources Center and Fine Arts Building was cons t r u c t e d at a cost of $2,100,000 and opened in 1980.

• A $1,500,000 loan has been received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the c o n s t r u c t i o n of a n e w woman's residence hall.

• The College was voted into membership in the United Negro College Fund, January 1, 1982.

• A Presidential Scholarship Program to recognize and recruit high school seniors in the upper onefifth of their graduating class was implemented in the fall of 1982.

The mission of Morris College is viewed as that of developing the total person by providing a sound program of liberal education in 24

Georgia State Senator Julian Bond (far right) joins members of the Morris College family at commencement exercises. selected curricular areas.

The College is committed to the open door policy and plans to maintain this as a distinctive feature of the total program.

The College originally was established to train ministers a n d t e a c h e r s .

T o d a y the School of Religion is still an important part of the total Morris College and the teacher education program produces candidates w h o score high on the qualifying examinations and meet certification requirements. However, it has since broadened its scope significantly to meet the changing needs of society.

Business A d m i n i s t r a t i o n with career o p t i o n s in marketing, management, accounting, and office administration is the fastest growing major area. New curriculum concentrations in pre-law, pre-medical, pre-nursing, pre-pharmacy, pre-veterinary medicine and pre-dental studies have been implemented along with major programs in Fine Arts and in Early Childhood Education. A major program in Computer Science is being planned.

A unique and innovative addition to the curriculum at Morris College is the Liberal/Technical Studies P r o g r a m . This p r o g r a m allows students from twoyear technical colleges to transfer their credits and complete two additional years of study in order to receive degrees in their chosen field.

The Cooperative Education P r o g r a m provides career guidance to students and relates academic studies to practical work experiences by coordinating fulltime college studies with employment in business, industry, government, or service organizations. This program enables students to "earn while they learn" and offers them an opportunity to see the working world as it is.

With about seven hundred students, Morris College is large enough to provide excellence in both academic and extracurricular activities, and is small enough to ensure that every student receives individualized attention, instruction and guidance from faculty and staff.

Morris College personnel are efficient and qualified to provide a sound program of liberal education in selected curricular areas. Dedicated professors provide the kind of personalized instruction that makes learning a satisfying experience.

Things are really looking up for Morris College.

At a time when m a n y small colleges are closing, Morris is putting up new buildings.

The most recent construction at Morris College is the new library and fine arts center. The third floor of the library is a media center which houses the best kind of media equipment. Construction of the new library/ learning resources and fine arts center complex cost over 2.3 million dollars.

Construction of a new women's residence hall costing $1.7 million is scheduled to begin in April, 1983.

The future of Morris College looks brighter as it presses its way toward the forefront of the academic arena. The move toward the mainstream is on!

Brother Ivan Louis Cotman

Brother Larry Earvin

At a decentralization dinner sponsored by the Detroit Public Schools on December 8, 1982 DR. IVAN LOUIS COTMAN, Associate Superintendent for Rehabilitation in the Michigan Department of Education, was awarded a Certificate of Appreciation for "service as a member of the Region 3 Detroit Board of Education supporting outstanding achievement in community involvement."

The certificate was presented to Dr. Cotman and other past and present Region Board members to commemorate the culmination of the decentralization of Detroit Public Schools. From 1970 to 1973, Cotman served as one of the first elected members of the Region 3 Board of the Detroit Public Schools in the historic decentralization of the Detroit Public Schools. During his tenure, he was elected Vice Chairman of the Region Board for three terms and also served as Finance Chairman.

Brother Cotman now served as Associate Superintendent for the Michigan Department of Education and is a member of the Executive Council for the Michigan Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Public Policy. Brother Earvin has been engaged in research and teaching in higher education for nine years.

A native of Chattanooga, Tennessee, Brother Earvin received his B.A. from Clark College, the Master's from Georgia State University and the Ph.D. from Emory University. Active in a number of local, state, and regional activities, Brother Earvin is a member of the 1980 Class of "Leadership Georgia," a group identified as prospective leaders in the state; he also chairs the Board of Directors of Metropolitan Atlanta Fair Housing Services, one of sixty fair housing agencies nationwide.

Brother Earvin currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Alpha Phi Alpha Building Foundation and is the Atlanta Coordinator of the Atlanta Teen Pregnancy Project co-sponsored

MB On Sunday, December 5, 1982, various civic groups honored Brother RICHARD A. HUBBARD, retired principal of Central High School and Courtland High School in Courtland, Alabama, for 35 years of service.

Brother Hubbard, a native of Hillsboro, Alabama, came to Courtland as a teacher on November 19, 1936. Upon his arrival, he found no physical plant for educational training, classes had to be held in different locations. Determined to succeed, Brother Hubbard

MB Brother W. J. HODGE was inaugurated 12th president of Simmons Bible College October 15, 1982 in Louisville, Ky. Simmons was founded in 1879 as the first college for Blacks in Kentucky by the State Convention of Colored Baptist Churches in Kentucky — now the General Association of Kentucky Baptist, which still owns and operates the college. It became a state college in 1882 and Simmons University in 1919.

Presently it concentrates on teaching preachers and missionaries.

Hodge, 62, a native of Groesbeck, Texas, and a member of Alpha Lambda Chapter, Louisville, Ky., has been pastor of Fifth Street Baptist Church since 1957 and resigned as the first Black President of the Louisville Board of Aldermen in March of 1982 to head the Bible College.

Reverend Hodge attended the Oberlin College Graduate School of Theology in Oberlin, Ohio where he received his Bachelor of Divinity degree. He later received his Master of Divinity degree from Vanderbilt University. He was granted his license to preach from the Concord Baptist Church of Christ in Brooklyn, New York.

Brother GRANGER RAY MARTIN, an outstanding Alpha man of Greenville, South Carolina was honored on January 11, 1983 at the Regency Hyatt House in Greenville, South Carolina.

The National Accounts Division of IBM held their 1983 kickoff meeting in splendid surroundings. After an exquisite breakfast, Granger was honored along with two fellow employees with IBM's highest award for individual excellence. He received the cherished "IBM Means Service Award." This award includes a pen and pencil set, a $200 Savings Bond, and a one-week trip in June to Toronto, Canada to attend the 1983 administrative conference. This award is presented annually to select individuals whose contribution is above and The Sphinx / Spring 1983

beyond the call of duty.

Granger joined IBM in June of 1971 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He served IBM well with seven years of marketing experience which netted four one hundred percent clubs, two years as a systems engineer distributive processing specialist and one year as an account administrator. Granger, who left IBM in December 1980 to protect some family investments, came out of semi-retirement in June and was asked to relocate in Greenville, South Carolina to assist that office after a tremendous reorganization of the Data Processing, General Systems and Office Products Divisions. The Greenville facility at that time ranked #13 out of 13 offices in the Atlantic region. In less than two months he received the Administrator of the Month Award over twenty fellow employees. The following months, after a serious operation and two weeks at home, he was again recognized as the top administrator in protecting IBM's revenue.

He placed first, then second in a local branch accounts receivables contest.

The Greenville office closed the year in the top five. Granger is currently in IBM's Management Development Program and expects to be one of only fourteen regional administration managers within five years.

If you think he is a "work-a-holic" you are probably right. If you think he is not versatile, you are wrong. In November Granger was recognized for his outstanding effort with the Greensboro Chapter of North Carolina Central University, and rode the homecoming parade float as Mr. Alumni — first runner-up. He continues to support his family of Mount Olive, North Carolina as Chairman of the Board of Martin Family Enterprises, Inc., an investment firm. He also served as management consultant for Sir Walter Martin Estates, also of Mount Olive.

In his "spare time" he continues to operate his thriving Amway Emerald Distributorship located in twenty-six states, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the Bahamas, known officially as Master Mind Enterprises, Inc. of Greensboro, North Carolina. He serves in absentia as partner and co-owner of Smarts, Inc., a Winston-Salem based tax consulting firm. In April of 1982 he was nominated as Chairman of the Board of V.O.I.C.E., Inc., a non-profit consortium of minority contractors in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

On Sundays you will find Granger at the Church of Christ in whatever city his business or pleasure takes him. Last

January, due to his concern, he initiated the Y.E.S. class, young enthusiastic souls — new converts excited about their souls, at the South English Street Church of Christ in Greensboro, North Carolina. He continues to worship there whenever he visits his corporate headquarters in Greensboro and at a local congregation near Greenville each Wednesday evening. He has assisted many souls in seeing the error of their ways and turning to the New Testament Church before it is too late.

Granger, as a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., currently serves as Chairman of the Business Encouragement Committee for the Southern region which covers seven states from North Carolina to Florida and west to Mississippi.

Most people are afraid to take action but when Granger speaks people believe and are compelled to act on the strength of his convictions. When asked where does he get his energy? he merely laughs and says, "from Amway vitamins, they are the greatest source of energy that man has ever processed."

On many occasions though, he intellectually points out that success starts with the excitement of the "E" in the word success and continues to generate the energy necessary for even greater $ucce$$. Many would do well to emulate his business organization slogan and personal philosophy — "I make no excuses and I take no excuses . . . no energy is required in order to fail."

Brother MELVIN J. NORTON, Denver, Colorado, Director of Education for the Western region from Delta Psi Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., was elected to the Board of Directors of CHUN (Capitol Hill United Neighborhood, Inc.) in Denver on November 1, 1982.

He was appointed as Chairman of the Education Committee.

CHUN is an organization which brings people together to share in preserving the past, improving the present, and planning the future of Capitol Hill here in Denver.

Brother Norton brings to the organization a life membership in Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity; a membership in the NAACP and Optimist International; a member of the Urban League; Chairman of the Advancement Committee for the Denver Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America; and a recipient for the Silver Beaver Award.

Brother MELVYN M. TUGGLE, member of the Alpha Delta Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Memphis, Tennessee, continues to record "firsts" with the Shelter Insurance C o m p a n y — one of the largest insurance companies in America (formerly MFA Insurance Companies).

Tuggle has been the "first" Black person to hold every job at each corporate level with the c o m p a n y .

Brother Tuggle began his employment with Shelter Insurance Companies in February of 1970 as an agent. After four years as an agent, he transferred to the Shelter Home Office in Columbia, Missouri as a property underwriter. The c o m p a n y soon realized Brother Tuggle's expertise and superior capability and transferred him back to Memphis, Tennessee in September 1976 as a resident underwriter. His familiarity with the city provided much needed insight into the underwriting problems of this urban center.

His efforts resulted in six years of unprecedented profits in Memphis, unheralded by any c o m p a n y or underwriting operation in the industry.

M e t r o p o l i t a n a r e a s w i t h similar demographics are disasters in terms of loss experience for most insurance companies. In July of 1978, Brother Tuggle was promoted to Senior Resident Underwriter — another "first." In August of 1982, he became the "first" and only Black District Sales Manager for Shelter Insurance Companies. With this most recent promotion and advancement, Tuggle's responsibilities revolve around Marketing and Sales for the agency's force in the South Memphis District. His major functions include: Recruiting agents, Training, Public Relations, Advertising and C o m m u n i c a t i o n s . These assigned responsibilities a m o u n t to being responsible for managing the marketing operation in this area with a projected agency force of 2 0 / 2 5 agents to be recruited and deployed within the next two years.

Brother Tuggle has an outstanding "track record" with Alpha Delta Lambda.

He was initiated at Beta Xi Chapter, The Sphinx / Spring 1983

Brother Melvin Tuggle Lemoyne Owen College in 1966. He graduated from Memphis State University with a BBA in Personnel Management-Human Relations in 1969. He joined Alpha Delta Lambda Chapter in 1970 and has held several offices including Chapter President for the 1979-80 and 1980-81 fraternal years.

He was selected outstanding Alpha of the year, 1969.

A biographical sketch of Brother Melvyn M. Tuggle reflects outstanding community and career involvements: Some of his honors are: 1972 Edition "Outstanding Young Men of America," U.S. Jaycees; Mayor's Youth Coordinating Committee, 1970-71; Finalist, National Urban Fellows, 1976; Section

Chairman, Business Gifts Division, United Way of Greater Memphis, 1977; Board of Directors and President, Alpha Delta Lambda Chapter, Alpha Alpha Fraternity, Inc., 1979-80, 1980-81; Liff App Club member, 1970 MFA Insurance Companies; "We do it Better": Man of the Year Award, District I, Tennessee, MFA Insurance Companies, 1971; "Leadership Memphis," Charter Participant, 1978-79; City Beautiful Commission, 1979-80, 1980-81; and Governor's Job Conference Task Force on Tourism, 1980-81.

The Sphinx / Spring 1983

EAST nriassQchusetts Boston area chapters celebrate Founder's Day The Brothers of Sigma, Nu Xi Lambda and Epsilon Gamma Lambda Chapters commemorated the founding of our great Fraternity with its Annual Founder's Day Luncheon on December 5, 1982. There were thirty Brothers and their guests in attendance at the buffet style luncheon. It was held in one of Boston's Black community's historic landmarks, the Professional and Businessmen's Club.

The program began with Brother Clifford Reed offering a prayer of thanks. Brother John McMullen, President of Epsilon Gamma Lambda Chapter, extended greetings to all of the Brothers and their guests. The introduction of the speaker was presented by Brother Perry Smith. The guest speaker for the occasion was Bruce C. Boiling, a member of the Boston City Council. Mr. Boiling presented a very timely address which focused on the need for greater political commitment and concern for Boston's Black community by its residents. Mr. Boiling was awarded a certificate of commendation for his many contributions to Boston's Black community.

Brother George Bowman introduced the neophytes: Brothers Samuel A. Carradine and Vincent K. Butler. These Brothers were initiated into the Fraternity in the summer of 1982. Brother Carradine serves as an international consultant and is currently a Ph.D. candidate in government at Harvard University; Brother Butler is a systems analyst for a major corporation in the area. Each Brother was presented his shingle, membership card, Fraternity pin and Alpha Bible. The Brothers made remarks.

The 1982 Epsilon Gamma Lambda Chapter's "Man of the Year Award" was bestowed upon Brother Charles H. Cuthbert. The award is presented annually to a Brother who has inspired youth to "March Onward and Upward Toward the Light." The Brothers and their guests were entertained by the lively wit of Brother James Howard's introduction of Brother Cuthbert.

Brother Cuthbert's remarks about his The Sphinx / Spring 1983

many years in Alpha since his induction in 1928 were inspiring to young and old members alike. Brother Cuthbert holds a very special place in the hearts of all of the members of Sigma, Nu Xi Lambda and Epsilon Gamma Lambda Chapters. He has demonstrated a sincere interest in and dedication to keeping Epsilon Gamma Lambda Chapter a viable entity in Boston's Black community life. He has served the chapter as a useful resource person in planning activities as well as a gracious host for the chapter's Annual Summer Picnic on Cape Cod. Finally, remarks were made by Brothers Cedric H. Jones, President of Sigma Chapter, William T. Fuller, President of Nu Xi Lambda Chapter, John McMullen, President of Epsilon Gamma Lambda Chapter, Royal C. Boiling, state senator of the Second Suffolk District, and John Bynoe, candidate for the presidency of the BostonNAACP. The luncheon ended with the Brothers singing the Alpha Hymn and reciting the Alpha Prayer. Brothers Eric Small and John McMullen are to be commended on a job well done. The 1982 Founder's Day Luncheon was a memorable affair for everyone.

penn state Gamma Nu pursues social and civic The Brothers of the Gamma Nu Chapter at the Pennsylvania State University in State College, Pennsylvania extend our warmest wishes and hopes for great success to all of our Alpha Brothers.

Our chapter has been proud of our numerous accomplishments throughout the past year, as we realize that it has taken dedication, initiative, perseverance, and organization for us to reach our achievements.

In April of 1982 we gave our first annual Gong Show during the university's Black Arts Festival. This proved to be a festive and successful event for all who participated in and all who attended the show.

Our Brothers were elated at the initiation of three Brothers in May from the line of Kujichagulia: Christopher DeBrady, Dale Fisher, and Richard Andrews.

The spring's activities were concluded in elaborate fashion as we held our annual coronation in May at the Sheraton Hotel in State College. Everyone was in high spirits throughout the evening, which included a buffet dinner, guest speakers, presentation of awards, and to everyone's delight, hours of dancing. The Brothers concluded the evening with an entertaining step show that brought smiles and good cheer to all who attended.

The following fall we came in with visions of outshining all other organizations in all respects, and in true Alpha tradition we have done so.

Keeping in mind the Alpha ideal of academic achievement, we gave two programs based on academics.

Gamma Nu sponsored an academic study skills workshop, wherein a university academic counselor gave suggestions for studying which would lead to academic success.

Our chapter also held study help sessions for all university students. We aided students with courses which ran the gamut from basic English composition to complex mathematics.

We continued to focus our energies in fraternal activities by donating blood to the Interfraternity Council's Blood Drive.

Social functions were not left out of our chapter's fall agenda. Our social The Sphinx / Spring 1983

activities included a Ladies Night Party, a Hawaiian Luau Party, a social function and party with Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, and a Halloween Masquerade Party. At our masquerade party we held a costume contest, our second annual Battle of the DJ's contest, and the climax of the evening was our dynamic step show.

We started off the winter term on a fraternal note as our chapter went to dinner and later gave a party celebrating Alpha's 76th anniversary. The Brothers also aided in a Kwanza program for the less fortunate children in the area.

The rest of the year seems to be progressing in positive fashion indeed.

Future activites include the celebration of our chapter's 36th anniversary; visiting a nearby state prison to play basketball with a few of the inmates; sponsoring a Family Feud game and our invitational track meet; and finally being the initiators of a possible joint Black Greek coronation.

This year's Gamma Nu officers include Brothers Walter Laurel, President; Dale Fisher, Vice President; James McCall, Secretary; David Myers, Treasurer and Assistant Dean of Pledges; Ryan Poole, Editor-to-the Sphinx and Dean of Pledges; Keith Burris, Assistant Dean of Pledges; and Richard Andrews, Social Director.

Our chapter members are diligently striving to be the leaders on our campus and to uphold the light of Alpha.

From our hearts we warmly urge all Brothers to come and visit us, as we say goodbye to all members of Alpha.

Virginia state u Beta Gamma host College Brothers Conference Greetings from the Brothers of Beta Gamma. This academic year began hectically for our eight neophytes who were initiated during the spring of '82.

The semester opened with a very successful Alpha Week - thanks to the hard work and planning of Brother Lacy Ward and Miss Pat Carter, who is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Alpha Eta Chapter. Brother Howard Jenkins delivered a speech at one of the early sessions of Upward Bound on "The Importance of a College Education." At the last session of Upward Bound the "Alpha Family" sponsored a Christmas party for the The Sphinx / Spring 1983

students in the program.

The fall semester kept the chapter busy with various projects. With the support of the Virginia Chapters of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity (VACAPAF); Beta Gamma hosted the first College Brothers Conference on November 13, 1982. Thanks to the hard work of our Brother Joseph Suber, who is 2nd Vice President of VACAPAF, the conference was successful as well as informative. The same evening the Inter-Greek Council, of which Brother Jenkins is President, sponsored a Step Competition which Beta Gamma won.

The chapter also adopted a grandmother at Guardian Care, a convalescent home that we visit regularly.

Along with Nu Lambda, a local graduate chapter, we chopped wood for our annual Fire Wood Drive. The holiday season involved us in ringing the bell for the Salvation Army, and we also were involved in a toys and clothing drive with the members of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. This venture resulted in numerous underprivileged families receiving items for Christmas.

Also, during the course of the semester, we initiated 10 new Brothers who are now holding high the light of Alpha.

We celebrated Founder's Day by visiting neighboring chapters in Richmond for a step show, and later we ourselves held a program. Our speaker was Brother Arnold Henderson, who is Vice President of Academic Affairs at Virginia State University. Beta Gamma is proud to say that six Brothers have been selected to appear in the 1982-83 edition of Who's Who Among Students In American Colleges and Universities.

By participating in various activities both on campus and in the community, Beta Gamma hopes to continue to shed the light of Alpha upon mankind.

new york Zeta Zeta Lambda holds Voter Registration Drive In the South Jamaica Housing Project (32nd AD) voter registration and voter turn-out was less than 100 people a year ago, but has leaped to well over 600 people due to the untiring efforts of members of Zeta Zeta Lambda Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, and the members of the South Jamaica Community Advisory Board.

They cared about improvement and got busy trying to make things better.

They didn't wait for someone to save their homes for them, nor did they sit back and let someone take them away — they fought with the powerful weapon they knew of — the vote.

While thousands of people are giving up their right to vote, the people of South Jamaica put it to work for them and because they did, they are seeing many long overdue improvements to their individual apartments such as newer, safer windows, something of particular importance to tenants with young children. There are also many changes to the buildings themselves, and the best thing of all is that they are now in a better position to save the project complex which was in jeopardy of being torn down.

To say "thank you" to everyone for their cooperation, Brother Noble J. Jones, Chairman of the Alpha Phi Alpha Voter Registration Committee and Mrs. Dora Wilson, President of the South Jamaica Community Advisory Board threw a super "Appreciation Dinner Dance" in the community center.

There was very little speech making because Mr. Jones and Mrs. Wilson simply wanted everyone to "enjoy themselves."

However, honored guest, Councilman Archie Spigner, was called on for a few words and he took the opportunity to thank everyone for their successful voter registration efforts and for their support in the election.

MIDWEST Wisconsin Outstanding educators honored in Wisconsin The Delta Chi Lambda Chapter designated 16 persons, outstanding Wisconsin educators, for special recognition at the Fraternity's Founder's Day ceremony held on December 5, 1982, in Mequon, Wisconsin.

The chapter, which annually holds a variety of other events including job workshops for youngsters in the city of Milwaukee and a scholarship program, developed the 1982 program theme "Alphas in Education: A Tradition in Excellence" because of its commitment to encouraging educational advancement. A screening committee of the Fraternity selected the recipients, all Alphas. The individuals selected for 33

1982 are Avery L. Goodrich Horace Hobson, John S. Davis, Charles Davis, Earl V. Lucas, Harold Maxwell, Dr. Joseph Carpenter, Daniel Burrell, Dr. Tyrone Carter, Coleman O. Wells, Taft E. Benson, George Hughes, Virgil Jack Gilmore, and Willie Kirk; and in memoriam, Hercules Porter and Hoyt Harper.

The President of the chapter, Attorney John Daniels, stated that awards were particularly important "because education serves as the dominant force for the development of economic, social, and cultural vitality in any community, and that vitality in our community would not be possible without the quiet skills and dedicated work of the honorees."

The co-chairpersons for the event were Dr. Erskine Tucker of Milwaukee and Derek Kenner of First Wisconsin National Bank - Milwaukee.

university of detroit Eto Xi holds fund-raising parties Greetings, Brothers, from the men of the Eta Xi Chapter at the University of Detroit. Having been re-established in April of 1981 with the crossing of our seven man line Dynasty One, we are now endeavoring to "hold high the light of Alpha!"

Eta Xi is presided by Brother Noel Celestin - with Nicholas Frager, VicePresident; Reginald Black, Secretary; Eduardo Encarnacion, Treasurer; and Phillip Seldon, Past President, Dean for Dynasty One and Sergeant-AtArms. Other Brothers are Monrico Ward (prophyte, Dynasty One), Bennie White (prophyte, Dynasty One), Rev. Orlando Arnold (neophyte, REV-1), Distinguished Alpha Collegian Craig Wilkins (prophyte, Arizona State University), and Kevin Grant (prophyte, Western Michigan University). A member of Eta Xi before its dormancy, we are glad to welcome back Charles Mosley.

Here at Eta Xi we are carrying on the traditions of the Fraternity through several community functions and services. Fund-raising parties have raised enough money to make a $600 donation to a local charity. Brothers have also walked for racial equality in the Focus Hope Walkathon; participated in on-campus phone-a-thons (soliciting money for minority scholarships); and 3-4

The Eta Xi Chapter, University of Detroit. sponsored booths in the campus Titanfest carnival. Through our participation in the Inter-Fraternity Council, we have become recognized throughout the university community as a driving force among the student body sector.

Our President, Brother Noel Celestin, holds a chair on the University Board of Trustees, providing enlightening and intelligent input into the financial decisions of this school. Truly, Alpha's leadership shines through, serving as " . . . Servants of All!" We wish to thank Brother Anthony Crutchfield, Assistant State Director of Michigan, for his support and assistance in re-establishing this chapter, and we also wish to invite all Brothers visiting the "Motor City" to come share the fellowship of Brotherhood with "the Proud Crowd, those Men of Eta Xi!"

university of toledo Epsilon Alpha promotes racial harmony The Brothers of Epsilon Alpha Chapter at the University of Toledo wish to extend warm greetings to all in Alphadom from Toledo, the glittering Glass Capital of the World.

The 1982 fall quarter was extremely successful for us. We opened it with our campus' first dance of the year and

many of the Brothers from neighboring chapters in Southeastern Michigan and Northwestern Ohio attended. The most successful event of the fall, however, was the Ebony and Ivory Festival.

The idea originated from Gamma Rho Chapter at Purdue University and it was designed to promote racial harmony. We decided to do that by joining forces with a predominantly white fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and holding a three-day festival from November 17-19.

Events of the Ebony and Ivory Festival included a bake sale and a bonfire on the first day; a charity dance for the Heart Foundation on the second day; and a rally and all-campus unity dance on the third day.

Both of the dances were very crowded and all attending seemed to have had an enjoyable time. Music to suit the ebony population and the ivory population was rotated and the Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha and Sigma Phi Epsilon gave a step show together to cap the evening off.

The outdoor rally held on the last day of the festival was perhaps the most important Ebony and Ivory event. Brother Charles Victor McTeer, a civil rights attorney and activist from Mississippi who has appeared on the Phil Donahue Show, delivered the keynote address.

Other speakers were: Brother Lancelot C. A. Thompson, Vice President of student affairs at the University of The Sphinx / Spring 1983

Toledo; Brother William Copeland, Toledo City Councilman; Brother Charles Doneghy, Toledo Municipal Judge; outgoing Toledo Congressman Ed Weber; Ninth District Congresswoman-elect Marcy Kaptur; and Nanette Keating, University of Toledo student government president.

Ebony and Ivory drew much media attention and it was covered by all three network affiliates in Toledo, the campus newspaper, and The Blade, the city's daily newspaper. Brother Eric Jackson, who was our coordinator for the event, appeared on two local talk shows.

The festival was so successful that the Brothers and the Sig-Eps (their nickname) are strongly considering making it an annual event. Epsilon Alpha officers for the 1982-83 year are Timothy C.

ohio Eta Tau Lambda celebrates outstanding achievements The Brothers of Eta Tau Lambda Chapter are justly proud of the record of excellence attained during its history.

Since that proud day in December, 1960 this chapter has been one of the giants in A l p h a d o m . This chapter has produced leadership at the state, local and national levels. This chapter has been recognized on more than one occasion as the National Chapter of the Year for Alpha Phi Alpha. This chapter gave to Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity its National President from 1977-1980, Brother James R. Williams.

In the city of Akron, Eta Tau Lambda Chapter is looked upon by everyone, at all levels and positions, as a group of individuals w h o are responsive to the needs of their community. O u r tradition of being responsive to human and educational needs is firmly established and respected.

The Brothers of Eta Tau Lambda Chapter are very proud and honored to recognize individuals who have made our chapter great. We recognize the charter members of our chapter.

Some of these Brothers have gone on to Omega Chapter, but their memory and accomplishments are not forgotten.

The Sphinx / Spring 1983

The twelve charter members of this chapter are Brothers: Clarence Irby, R a y m o n d Brown, Robert Morrison, Paul Winters, E. Bruce Tate, Sr., George Shadie, Dr. N . C. McNeil, Robert L. Brown, Jim Rushin, Reuben "Dixie" Collins, Dr. Allen F. Killings, and Robert P. Smith.

A look at the achievements of the Alpha Phi Alpha Housing Corporation, Akron, O h i o lends credence to our belief it is the most recognized in all A l p h a d o m . The Housing Corporation was formed in 1969 to design, build, and offer low to moderate housing to the citizens of Akron. The Brothers of this chapter believe that conditions for our people in A k r o n can be improved if men of vision, talent, and compassion are willing to exert their efforts to that end. It is this compassion that saw these housing projects completed: Channelwood I, 1972; Channelwood II (James R. Williams Tower), 1978; Charles H. Wesley Towers, 1981; and landings at Canal Park Condominium, 1982.

Eta Tau Lambda Chapter is populated with those Brothers w h o have embraced the philosophy and tenants upon which Alpha Phi Alpha was founded . . . "First of all . . . servants of all." The rise to prominence in Alpha has been by the avenue of their dedication . . . and service to their fellowmen. The torch has been passed to yet another Brother w h o fits this description. Brother Nathan C. Hagins accepts responsibility for the continued growth and leadership of the most outstanding chapter in A l p h a d o m .

We want to recognize Attorney Emmer Lancaster, our oldest member, age 84, 1st Black to graduate from Akron University, 1921, A.B. degree, L.L.D. Western Reserve, A . S . in Business, New York University School of Business, H o n o r a r y Doctor of Law from University of Akron for being 1st Black graduate, Life member of Alpha Phi Alpha initiated Pi Chapter, Cleveland, 1923.

We want to recognize Brother Dave Wilson, our oldest member with respect to years of chapter service.

The new officers which were given the oath of office will be following the footsteps of the following Brothers, w h o on December 30, 1960 at the first banquet of this chapter were administered their oath of office: Dr. Robert S. Smith, President; Robert L. Brown, Vice President; Dave J. Wilson, Secretary; Dr. Allen F. Killings, Treasurer; and E. Bruce Tate, Sr., Chaplain.

Because of the leadership of these

Brothers and those w h o have followed, this chapter has sponsored many continuing programs as an example of our community involvement and commitment to the human and educational needs diagnosed. Alpha Phi Alpha helps to make Akron a better place!

Some of these continuing programs a r e : A n n u a l A l p h a Phi Alpha Founder's Day; Police Community Dialogue; Wooster Branch Library Project Read; sponsoring the Black Santa Claus; Channelwood Day Care Facility; computer services; Channelw o o d recreation programs; homemaker services; adopted Mabel Riedinger School; Adopt A Grandparent programs; Alpha Tots program; Alpha Phi Alpha Scholarship programs; Working Incentive programs; Alpha Pride (CETA) programs; Fraternity R e t r e a t / A n n u a l Smoker; Channelw o o d Nutritional Services programs; Alpha Phi Alpha Homes, Inc.; Project R e a d / R I F at R a n k i n Elementary School; Annual Black Tie Formal Dance; United Negro College Fund; and g r a d u a t e / c o l l e g e relations.

In summary, we have n o intention of resting on our laurels as long as the need exists for involvement and progress toward a better society for mankind.

People and institutions in the Akron area listen when Eta Tau Lambda speaks. As you reflect upon the history of the city of Akron, you will see the involvement of Alpha Phi Alpha in a broad range of social and civic activities.

You cannot help but be made aware of the intense involvement of the individual members of this chapter. This is our history, and history has a way of repeating itself.

kentucky Alpha Lambda holds inspirational Founder's Day Alpha Lambda Chapter, the first Graduate Chapter, extends fraternal greetings throughout the Alpha network.

O u r new officers for the year are: William Braxton, President; Michael Cornelius, Vice President and Editorto-the-Sphinx; Garry Spotts, Recording Secretary; Charles Brown, Corresponding Secretary; William Orr, Treasurer; Robert Downs, Financial Secretary; and Elmer Lysle, Parliamentarian.

Founder's D a y w a s celebrated December 4, 1982 at Zion Baptist Church, Louisville, Ky. The theme for the day was "Rekindling the Flame — 35

Alpha Phi Alpha the Light of the World." In conjunction with the national reclamation program Brother Elmer Lysle gave the reclamation address and restored the spirit in us who have strayed from the fold with his topic: "Alpha - past, present and future." Reverend Brother Greg Spotts, an undergraduate from Epsilon Chi, University of Kentucky, gave the Brotherhood address, a speech filled with more Alpha fire than words can express. At the end of the program Brother Lyman T. Johnson, the Alpha who integrated the University of Kentucky in 1949, astonished everyone and asked for a few minutes to address the Brotherhood on "Why I'm proud to be an Alpha." He brought several historic pictures and news articles of him and other Alpha men such as former General President Frank Stanley and J. O. Blanton, et al., charter members of Alpha Lambda and convention paraphernalia. His speech aroused Brothers in the audience to stand up and give their date (and time) of initiation into Alphadom. The Brotherhood was exceedingly impressed when one of the oldest members of Alpha Lambda introduced himself by his "Alpha" name that he had as a student at Wilberforce University, Xi Chapter, in 1926. "Smoke" (Doug) Dowery!!

The chapter has begun a newsletter to keep the Brotherhood in the city informed of Alpha news and news in general. Several other proposals have been presented to the Brotherhood and Alpha Lambda is in flight.

Next was the annual Alpha Week which included the events: Meet the Alphas; White Racism in America program; Revolution, Is It A Viable Alternative program; and a social function. We also sponsored an evening of song in which various Black singers were honored. The Brothers donated a $550 dollar check to the Afro-American The Sphinx / Spring 1983

Studies Department and we sponsored a community-wide canned food drive which turned out very well. On December 5 ten men, called NeoGenesis, crossed the burning sands into Alphadom.

This concludes our report for 1982.

northwestern Alpha Mu holds seventh Career Awareness Day We, the Brothers of Alpha Mu Chapter, offer greetings to all our Brothers in Alphadom. It has been some time since we have last communicated our activities to you, but Alpha Mu still holds high the ideals of Alpha at Northwestern.

A busy fall quarter was highlighted by our seventh Annual Black Career Awareness Day. Due to the fact that the Northwestern community has been very good to us in supporting our events, we feel it is our duty to provide functions such as the Career Awareness Day to give something back. If we help one student find summer or permanent employment, we feel that we have accomplished something in these stressful economic times.

The planning for this event started in the spring of 1982. Our chapter, working with the Northwestern Placement Office, invites companies who have participated in the past and those companies who have never participated as well. Of course, we state what the purpose of the event is and what we have planned to take place during the day.

This year we had a luncheon for the recruiters. We also awarded a scholarship to a student who has outstanding grades (Craig Neita) so that he may further his education after obtaining his degree this June. Craig is an engineering major with a 3.5 grade point average.

The Career Awareness Day program consisted of: a message given by our Master of Ceremonies and Chairman of the event, Brother Jeffrey Sterling; a brief welcome given by our President, Brother Joseph Fleming; and the prayer was given by Brother Charles Bolinger.

lincoln university Alpha Psi having a monumental year The Brothers of Alpha Psi Chapter extend greetings to all the "Guardians of the Alpha light." We at Alpha Psi have recognized that due to federal budget cutbacks in student aid many students have been forced to withdraw from school. We have worked in the fall semester to provide some sort of aid to deserving students.

Alpha Psi has distinguished itself at Lincoln University's campus by participating in and sponsoring campus activities. We threw a victory party for the Lincoln football team's first victory; we also placed second in the homecoming float competition.

Alpha Psi is proud to welcome ten young men to Alphadom: Brothers Van Mitchell, Juan Thomas, Earl Strauters, Russell Estell, James Young, Tony Richardson, Michael Henly, Bruce Singletary, Kenneth Chase, and James Threatt.

We topped off the school year by celebrating Founder's Day and coming together in brotherly spirit.

Stevenson, Treasurer; Keith Robenson, Secretary; and Sammie Scott, Dean of Pledges.

SOUTH university of mississippi Nu Upsilon completes year of revitalization Most fraternal salutations to our Brothers of our renowned Fraternity of Alpha Phi Alpha.

We, the Brothers of Nu Upsilon, are forever holding Alpha high in our hearts here at the University of Mississippi in these troublesome times.

Our year of revitalization was spearheaded with the end of a journey to Alphadom by eight "immortals": Brothers Keith Tucker, Melvin Banks, Frederick Robinson, Charles McCain, Dexter Merritt, Ray Matthews, Kelvin Hamner, and Jerry Sanford. After five weeks and two days of searching for the light, they reached their oasis in Greekdom.

Coming back in the fall with plans to strengthen the nobility of Alpha, the Brothers began the semester with our Thirteenth Semi-Annual Smoker. The Smoker was followed a few weeks later by 'The Commemoration of the 20th Anniversary of the Admission of Black Students," September 30 - October 7, a program sponsored by the university in its efforts to give Black students their rightful recognition. The chapter was recognized for having such a big hand in the organization, panelist discussion, and administrative advising for the event. Also during this commemoration, the Brothers held a special banquet reception for our distinguished visiting Brothers: Dr. Robert Harrison, President of the State Board of Trustees for Higher Learning; Brother Robert Walker, State Director of the NAACP; Brother Gary McGaga, one of the distinguished Black alumni being honored by the university.

Thirdly, on October 16 we had our 3rd Annual Lil' Brother - Big Brother Program, in which we adopted little brothers from the community for the day and took them to the university's football game.

We continued our year of revitalization on October 30 with a Pre-Halloween Masquerade Party, which was an immense success. The proceeds were given (50/50) to our Nu Upsilon-Wiley

Kiddieland Kollege, and the North Mississippi Mental Retardation Center.

On November 12 we were "Helpful Hands" in the Center's Special Olympics, helping in the area of basketball, swimming, and bowling. Before going home for Thanksgiving (November 22), we cosponsored a pre-Thanksgiving dinner for the elderly with the Delta Lambda Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. Finally, after a long year of working the month of December came. It marked the ending of another prosperous year, but it also marked our Fraternity's 76th Anniversary. And to end a great year, we felt it only appropriate to have a series of great events (December 1-4).

On December 1, plans were finalized for the three days of upcoming events.

On December 2 we held our 4th Annual Miss Black & Gold Pageant. The pageant featured six talented young ladies, so talented that they made the judges' decisions very hard in determining a winner. However, after periods of recalculations in the judges' scoresheets, Miss Cornelia McCain was crowned the Nu Upsilon Chapter's 1982 Miss Black & Gold. A Founder's Disco was held in the university's Union Ballroom on December 3, and on December 4 we held our Founder's Program in honor of our 7 Jewels.

We hope that all chapters will continue to uphold the commitments of our founders to manly deeds, scholarship, and love for all mankind. Here at UM, we speak, wear, and uphold Alpha with pride.

Brother Henry Ponder, President of Benedict College, delivers timely speech at Founder's Day luncheon hosted by Tau Lambda.

Anniversary we had our first Founder's Day luncheon at the new Marriott Hotel which was as grand as an Alpha activity should be. Chaired by Brother Michael Nettles the luncheon proved a success by raising $3,000 for our scholarship fund. The guest speaker for last year's event was Past General President Brother Walter Washington, who delivered a dynamic speech. This year's Founder's Day luncheon was again a success with Brother Henry Ponder, President of Benedict College and candidate for General President, as our guest speaker. We gave out three awards at the luncheon. The public service award went to Ms. Anne Holt, television news anchor for WNGE-TV Channel 2 of Nashville. The leadership award went to Brother Samuel Howard, Vice President of the Hospital Corporation of America (HCA). The Alpha Man of the Year award was presented to Brother William Cox, actor and theatrical instructor at Tennessee State University. Our Alpha honoree was Brother Cecil Ryan, Chapter Treasurer and head of the Industrial Arts Department of Tennessee State University and commercial pilot instructor. The luncheon was dedicated to Brother Harper Johnson, one of Nashville's great educators who entered Omega Chapter this past year.

We had our first Barbecue Cook-Out Sale last year raising $700 for the chapter's general fund, chaired by Brother William Hipps. The sale took place at the Wesley Foundation on the campus of Tennessee State University.

Brothers got together in Alpha spirit and threw down on the pit as our cooking abilities were put to the test.

Just recently three Sphinxmen crossed the burning sands into Alphadom. Our new Brothers are James Berry, Metro

school teacher; Paul Robertson, Federal Bank examiner; and Daryl McMullen, former basketball star at Tennessee State University and management trainee at First American Bank of Nashville.

In May we will have our 2nd annual Barbecue Cookout Sale and our annual Yellow Rose Ball. In June we will have our annual Reclamation Picnic.

florida Mu Zeta Lambda holds Halloween Carnival Greetings from Mu Zeta Lambda Chapter, Polk County, Florida. We are delighted to announce the addition of Brother Larry Mitchell to our ranks.

Brother Mitchell pledged Beta Nu Chapter at Florida A&M University, Tallahassee, Florida, and is a graduate of the FAMU College of Pharmacy and a recent graduate of the Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana School of Law. He currently resides in Lakeland, Florida and is a part-time pharmacist as well as a legal clerk in the law office of Attorney Ken Glover, also a member of this chapter.

In the wake of the recent national scandal involving tampering with foodstuffs, we hosted our most successful Halloween Carnival to date.

This affair was very well supported by the community and provided a safe atmosphere for our area youth to still enjoy Halloween night. Proceeds went towards completing our chapter's Million Dollar Fund Drive commitment.

The month of November found us moving right along as we hosted a gospel concert featuring our newly formed (from Brothers within the chapter) Alpha Male Chorus. This concert was held at Harmony Missionary Baptist Church in Lakeland, November 28, 1982. This group, featuring Brother Lynwood Bell as the soloist, is under the direction of Brother Jack Johnson and was very well received by the public. We had several requests for future appearances which we plan to oblige as our schedule permits.

November found us also distributing our annual Thanksgiving baskets and 39

thus ensuring a few more Thanksgiving meals for those persons who ordinarily wouldn't be able to enjoy one. This is truly a human interest project that we look forward to each year.

On December 4, 1982 at the Coleman Bush Building in Lakeland we all enjoyed a stellar Founder's Day Program. Invited guests included all the Presidents from local fraternities and sororities. A scrumptious dinner was served during the program which was highlighted by the showing of our tape /slide presentation, "The Roots of Alpha."

This year's theme was "Saluting the Past, Securing the Future" and special tributes were made to our chapter members with over 25 years of service to Alpha. We had five Brothers in this category: W. O. Bunch, D.D.S., William Balloon, Hugh Mills, Joshua Williams, D.D.S., and J. A. Wiltshire, M.D. Many thanks go out to this year's Founder's Day Committee for a job well done. During December we also held our Toys for Tots program whereby we distributed toys to area day care centers to needy kids so that they too had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

During January we hosted, in conjunction with the local NAACP, the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. birthday observance, for as we all know, we will never forget the many contributions this great Brother and American made during his lifetime in the struggle for equality for all. As this article went to press we were making plans for our Fourth Annual Men of Tomorrow Program whereby we allow local high school males to display various degrees of talents while vying for scholarships and other prizes commensurate with their final standings in the contest. This program also provides an excellent opportunity for us to introduce them to the workings of Alpha within the community and possibly influence their career decisions as well as their Greek preference when they are later confronted by smoker groups in college. Until next issue . . .

south Carolina Alpha Psi Lambda celebrates Founder's Day and mortgage burning Saturday, December 4, 1982 was a momentous day in the life of Alpha Psi Lambda Chapter. This day was the dual occasion for the chapter's annual Founder's Day Breakfast and Mortgage Burning Ceremony for the Alpha House.

Benedict College was the setting for the first part of this historical day — it was there that the annual Founder's Day Breakfast was held. The chapter was founded in 1935. Brother W. J. "Dub" Davis, who presided, briefly reviewed the way Brothers had provided themselves a meeting place over the years, and how this need to have their own meeting place had culminated into the purchase of the Alpha House. It was under Brother Davis' leadership that this aspiration was realized. The fact that the house was part of the estate of a deceased Brother, Elder E. A. Adams, gave its purchase added significance.

Brother Frank M. Reid, Jr. gave the Founder's Day address. In his address, Brother Reid recounted the honors and The Sphinx / Spring 1983

achievements of individual Brothers.

After the Founder's Day Breakfast, the Brothers and their guests left Benedict's campus and went to the Alpha House. There, a brief ceremony was held culminating with the burning of the mortgage. The ceremony was ended with the singing of the Alpha Hymn.

The House, located at 2113 Lady Street, is now solely owned by the Alpha Psi Lambda Housing Foundation and the Brothers of Alpha Psi Lambda.

We feel that it is rather significant that all of the Black high school principals in Richland School District N u m b e r O n e are Alphamen. They are as follows: A. T. Butler, Jr., C. A. Johnson High School; Maurice Waddell, A. C. Flora High School; and Rufus Watts, Eau Claire High School.

Brother Samuel Heyward, w h o is the President of Alpha Psi Lambda, was recently sworn in as a new member of Richland School District O n e School Board of Commissioners. Brother Heyward is a retired principal of the District.

Presently, some of the Brothers are involved with the Black Student Association, Student Programming, R O T C , C a m p u s Recreation, and one Brother, while in the final stages of his pledge program, was elected Speaker of the House of our Associated Student Body.

We have also realized that behind every good man is a w o m a n ; therefore, we take pride in saying that Kappa Xi has the sweetest Alpha Sweethearts in the state of Tennessee.

The campus and community has not been forgotten by our chapter. We have provided cosmetics seminars, sexual awareness seminars, and free blood pressure checks.

With the slogan "A Voteless People is A Hopeless People," our chapter conducted a voter registration drive.

In an effort to stress the importance of voting, we were the only fraternity to offer rides to the polls on election day.

Participation in the annual Civitan candy sale, Valentine and Halloween parties for the young, along with food drives and Thanksgiving dinners for the underprivileged and elderly are just a few of the things that make our chapter a keeper of the dream of Alpha.

Our chapter has experienced a revitalization during the past year. We look forward to the remainder of 1983 as bringing a new thrust to our chapter. This year, our emphasis will be our public and community services in the Huntsville area. Members of our chapter are actively engaged in a public school tutoring program. This involves three schools where Brothers serve as 42

regular teaching assistants in the areas of reading, writing, mathematics, social studies^ soccer, one-on-one counseling and gross motor skills.

Brother Travis Brooks, Past President and graduating senior, serves as Chairman of this educational endeavor.

The Brothers of Delta Gamma were instrumental in honoring four founders of the chapter during Founder's Day exercises. Those Brothers who were honored were Henry Bradford, Chairman of Music and Chaplain at Alabama A&M; George Hobson, retired professor of Physical Education at Alabama A&M; Ralph Lee, retired Registrar at A&M; George McCaleb, retired from the Geography Department at Alabama A&M. For our spring projects, Delta Gamma is planning a Leadership Workshop for college and high school young men; our annual Cabaret, which is the social event of the year; group participation in the Regional Convention to be held in Gainesville, Florida; annual picnic; banquet for graduating Brothers; and serving as Big Brothers to a select group of students at Terry Heights Elementary School in the city.

We are striving for unlimited opportunities for personal, mental and physical growth under the dedicated leadership of the following chapter officers: Michael Davis, President; Lawrence Wilkerson, Vice President; Gentry Jones, Recording Secretary; Lavon LaCount, Corresponding Secretary; Harold Pickens, Treasurer; Rickey Flambo, Sergeantat-Arms; Wayne DeSilva, Chaplain; Tony Williams, Parliamentarian; Ronald Armstrong, Dean of Probates; Gregory Holloway, Assistant Dean of Pledges; and Kenneth Willis, Associate Editor-to-the-Sphinx.

bethune-cookman college Delta Beta selected Service-Incentive Award winner The Brothers of "Murderous and Deadly" Delta Beta extend their greetings to the complete and elite House of Alpha where black and gold looms and rules. We at Delta Beta are still adhering to manly deeds, scholarship, and love for all mankind. We are still

carrying out all activities in our traditional and grand way and once again we seem to be the talk of the campus.

The first activity for the year was the Ms. Delta Beta Pageant in which the standing-room-only crowd was thoroughly entertained by five lovely and electrifying contestants. To highlight this affair, Virgie Williams, the outgoing Ms. Delta Beta and also Ms. Black and Gold for the state of Florida, was given a standing ovation on her last walk as our most gracious queen.

Ms. Delta Beta for 1982-83 is Cherrye Bess, and her court includes Sheryl Williams — Ms. Black, and Maria I. Cook - Ms. Gold.

In October, six young men saw the light of Alpha and survived the jungle into Alphadom, with special assistance from Brother Bernard Washington, President of Delta Beta; Brother Kevin G. Perry, First Vice President; and Brother Michael L. Goodman. Second Vice President and Dean of Pledges.

The "Imperial Force of Destruction" consisted of Brothers Kenneth Wilkerson, Randy Senter, Melvin Dawson, Edwin Wesley, Edward Farmer, and Claude Adams.

The Brothers also went on to successfully complete our annual 'Trick or Treat for UNICEF" campaign. Once again the light of Alpha shined as Delta Beta was chosen as the Service-Incentive Award winner in which organizations are selected in terms of service rendered above and beyond the ordinary around the campus and in the community. Brothers Michael Goodman, Bernard Washington, Jeff Lloyd, Jimmy Washington, and Randy Senter joined other fraternities and sororities in assisting community leaders during the Surplus Cheese Handout to the needy in the Daytona Beach community.

While on the community subject, Brother Jeff Lloyd was nominated to the "Community Development Corporation Board" in which he assists several prominent leaders in the Daytona Beach area in coming up with vital ideas for the Black community. Various Brothers also put on a skit at a local junior high school, appearing on their RIF Program in which the Brothers annually participate.

For Thanksgiving, the Brotherhood donated boxes of food to various families around the community in hopes that it would enlighten their holiday spirit.

One of the most visible highlights of the semester was our Founder's Day program, in which the "grand style" of The Sphinx / Spring 1983

Alpha truly showed, and the crowded audience in the chapel that day was thoroughly convinced who is number one. Brother Oswald P. Bronson, President of Bethune-Cookman College, gave an extremely fine message in which all parts were well taken by not only Alphas, but all listeners.

To conclude the semester's activities, Brothers Michael Goodman, Bernard Washington, Edwin Wesley, Melvin Dawson, and Randy Senter joined the ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha in a Christmas Party, which was sponsored by our lovely sister sorority. Once again the Alpha light was turned on and the crowd was pleased.

In closing, the Brothers of Delta Beta welcome all men of Alpha whether passing by or visiting the Daytona Beach area to drop by the campus and see what we are about. Turn on that light!!

memphis Alpha Delta Lambda provides leadership and social change Alpha Delta Lambda Chapter, Memphis, Tennessee, previously celebrated fifty years of service to Memphis, "The City of Good Abode." The men of this chapter have demonstrated outstanding leadership, community service, and influence of social change in the Memphis community. They have established a "track record" and "legacy" for forward progress in the area of human services and love for mankind. The Brothers are taking the lead in almost every facet of community and public life. They are assuming leadership roles which were traditionally denied Black Americans in this city. As the city changes and shed its cloth of discrimination and oppression, Memphis Alphas are out front promoting and leading the way for revolutionary social change. The spirit of our beloved Jewels of Alpha Phi Alpha is alive and well in Memphis!

The Alpha Phi Alpha Brotherhood around the world should know that Alpha men in Memphis hold a virtual monopoly on elected and appointive positions in the city and state of Tennessee. In addition, most leading administrative positions in the public institutions are under the leadership of Alpha Men. The following brief listing of elected officials who are Alphas in this historic city on the mighty The Sphinx / Spring 1983

Honorees at Alpha Delta Lambda Spring Formal include (left to right) Brothers C. Major Roberts, Michael Nettles, W. Mingo Clark, Don Lee, and ]ethro Alexander.

Mississippi River will provide a glimpse of the sphere of influence of Alphas in this Delta community: Brother Harold Ford, U.S. Rep., 9th Congressional District (1st); Brother George Brown, Jr., 1st State Supreme Court JusticeBrother John Ford, State Senator (Tenn); Brother Harper Brewer, State Representative and speaker pro tern of the House of Representatives; Brother James Ford, M.D., City Councilman, City of Memphis; Brother J. O. Patterson, Chairman of the Memphis City Council and unsuccessful candidate for Interim Mayor (1982); Brother George Brown, Jr., School Board Member; Brother Carl Johnson, Sr., School Board Member, Memphis City Schools; Brother Arthur Bennett, Criminal Court Judge; Brother H. T. Lockhard, Criminal Court Judge; Brother Ira Murphy, General Sessions Judge; and Brother James Sweargean, General Sessions Judge. There are many other important positions too numerous to mention in this article.

There is an air of urgency and forward-thinking on the parts of Brothers in Memphis. The Brothers are living up to the ideals of the Fraternity as so aptly put by Brother Huel D. Perkins in his commentary on "Leadership and Alpha Phi Alpha (Summer '82 Sphinx): " . . . A fraternity is the sum total of what its brotherhood subscribes to, as ideals, and then translates into some sort of public manifestation."

The 1982-83 fraternal year in Mem-

phis has been exemplary for Alpha Delta Lambda as the Brothers have pushed hard to present bold and socially significant programs for community uplift. Some of the chapter programs which impacted the community were: 1) Spring formal (1982) - approximately 400 Brothers and their wellgroomed guests attended a gala occasion high atop the fabulous Holiday Inn Rivermont overlooking the historic Mississippi River. The downtown skyline of Memphis was in full view as the Brothers honored their sweethearts and friends. Brother Mingo Clark, Southern Regional Vice President of Alpha Phi Alpha, and Brother Michael T. Nettles, State Director of Tennessee, were in attendance at the formal dance.

Both briefly addressed the Brothers and their guests. They were warmly received. The following morning, a breakfast for Alphas only was held in honor of Brother Nettles and Clark.

The occasion was a wonderful success.

The spring formal was used to stage the Alpha Delta Lambda announcement of a $1,000 scholarship donation to Lemoyne-Owen College in honor of Brother T. H. Haynes (Omega Chapter), founder of Alpha Delta Lambda, for a deserving student(s) with outstanding scholarship. Also Alpha Delta Lambda presented Brother Don Lee as "Alpha Man of the Year" for his devotion and outstanding service to the Fraternity.

2) Alpha Youth Leadership Seminar — in conjunction with Shelby State 43

Community College (Memphis), the chapter sponsored 12 hour long seminars and a graduation ceremony for 140 young student leaders in the Memphis/ Shelby County School System. Community leaders, professionals, etc. were used as resource persons and role models to accentuate the need for youth leadership development.

3) Alpha for J. O. Patterson for Mayor — Alpha Delta Lambda spearheaded a drive to get all Alphas in Memphis involved in the political campaign to elect Brother J. O. Patterson mayor. The program involved soliciting money and encouraging a massive telephone campaign to "get-out-thevote." A hidden agenda was reclamation. The effort was a success in that thousands of citizens were telephoned, more than $2,200 was raised for Brother Patterson's campaign, a "smoker" was given with the cost being underwritten by Brother Congressman Harold Ford wherein more than 150 Brothers were in attendance.

4) Founder's Day - On December 6, 1982 Alpha Delta Lambda held its Founder's Day observance. Alphas' friends came to an "open" meeting to honor the Jewels and the founding of the Fraternity. Brother Charles Patterson, Jr., local minister and former past chapter President gave the address.

Afterward, the Brothers went to the home of Brother Willie E. Lindsey, Jr., for a repast.

Alpha Delta Lambda and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity is making a difference in Memphis, Tennessee.

texas Alpha Sigma Lambda celebrates Golden Anniversary "One-half Century of Service" was the theme for the 50th anniversary celebration (1932-1982) of Alpha Sigma Lambda Chapter (Dallas, Texas) held November 27, 1982 at the Lincoln Radisson Hotel, the scene of a formal dinner-dance honoring the founders of Alpha Sigma Lambda Chapter.

The 7:00 p.m. reception was followed by an outstanding program. Brother Aubrey Turner opened the program with the invocation.

Brother Earnest Wallace then introduced the dais guests and gave the occasion for the affair. Brother Sam Bates, President of Alpha Sigma Lambda Chapter, introduced the guest speaker, Dr. Charles V. Willie, professor of Education and Urban Studies, Harvard University.

Dr. Willie, a former Dallasite (1944 graduate of Lincoln High School) and

noted sociologist, spoke on the topic of "Developing New Liberation Leaders Who Can Redeem the Nation for Integration." The topic was befitting to the occasion and the speakers' background.

Professor Willie's research and teachings have focused on education, the urban community, race relations, social problems and public health. He has conducted research and policy studies pertaining to the education and school desegregation.

Dr. Willie's address supported the old saying that "history repeats itself."

He pointed out the similarities of our world 50 years ago when Alpha Sigma Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity was established and our world today. He pointed out the similarities in economic conditions, rivalry among nations, the oppressions against certain groups and the fight for integration still continues. Dr. Willie emphasized developing new leaders to replace those of the last 50 years.

Following Dr. Willie's address, Brother Bates honored the chapter founders and made several award presentations. Special recognition was given to the eight founders of Alpha Sigma Lambda Chapter. A special moment of silence was held for the deceased founders who have entered the Omega Chapter. They are Brothers H. I. Holland, James W. White, Sr., James Edmonds, Roy A. Lay, Roy Dixon and Dr. Hugh Keys. Special awards were given to the two living founders, Brother Robert L. Prince, Sr. of Dallas, Texas and Brother C. P. Johnson of Seattle, Washington. Each of these founders gave inspirational remarks to the audience. Brother A. Maceo Smith was named the Outstanding Brother

He is presently a Commissioner of the State of California for Teacher Preparation and Licensing. He is a member of Beta Psi Lambda Chapter.

What can we do to meet the needs of students in a technocratic society," and offered suggestions on how to guarantee that our children will obtain an education that will provide him or her with a successful future in a monetary-oriented, technocratic society.

Now this celebration is an accepted tradition. Brother Brown presented the following awards for services rendered over the past year to the following outgoing officers: Brothers Robert Brewington, Secretary; Michael Roberts, 48

Treasurer; and Shannon Thurmond, Assistant Area Director. The Southern California area's award for outstanding service and dedication was presented to Brother Clinton L. Minnis. Area Director Brown thanked all of the Brothers, wives and sweethearts who had supported Alpha in service and in spirit during the past year. The program was drawn to a close when Brother Mason stated, "Today, as we gather here to celebrate the founding of our beloved Fraternity, December 4, 1906, we realize the significance of that founding for we represent the past, the present and the future. We have in our midst and among our brethren such a diversified group of dynamic individuals that we are able to exert an influence on the college campuses, among the politicians, in the courthouse, in the legal profession, in the medical profession and in the business community.

That together we are one, and as one we realize as the famed Charlie Lloyd, Esq., believes, "Everything, everywhere, is already all right"; Alphas united - A-Phi-A! All in all, everyone enjoyed themselves and lived the theme, "Past, Present and Future: Alpha United." In true harmony, the Brotherhood sang out the Alpha Hymn, and the celebration was concluded.

We, in the Southern California area, look forward to next year's event, anticipating that it will be longer than all the previous years combined.

Chartered in 1972, Theta Eta was instrumental in starting many of the non-Greek organizations at U.C. Davis, such as the Black Repertoire Dance Troupe, Ujima (now known as the Black Student Union), and the first annual Black Family Week Festival.

This past year the Brothers have been quite active in the community service aspect of the Fraternity. We have participated in the United Negro College Walk-A-Thon in Sacramento, the Big Brother/Big Sister program, and visited numerous convalescent homes in the area. Another project includes giving blood twice a year to our donor account at the Sacramento Blood Bank. The Brothers will also be resuming a high school tutorial program in the spring of 1983.

In addition to community services, Theta Eta is very active on the U.C. Davis campus, sponsoring a freshmen tea, a Male /Female Relationship The Sphinx / Spring 1983
