texas christian u Eta Psi leads at TCU Greetings. With honor to "whatever gods may be," the illustrious leaders of our General Organization, and all noble and deserving brothers of Alpha, the brothers of Eta Psi are proud and pleased to share our campus and community ministry for Spring '87. Alpha Spring '87 introduced itself with a Martin Luther King birthdate celebration party on January 16. On January 26 at 7:00 p.m. we held our Spring Smoker; this event gave birth to three aspirants that we are proud to p r e s e n t : Mr. A n t h o n y Woods, Mr. Anthony Renteria, and Mr. Derek Rogers. Our ministry continued on January 19 when one of our brothers led a freedom march to the University United Methodist Church almost a half a mile away. With police escorts, and half the lanes closed off, students, faculty, staff, and community m e m b e r s (black, white, hispanic, international, and others) marched down one of Fort Worth's busiest streets, singing the inevitable "We Shall Overcome." After Brother King's birthdate celebration at University Methodist, we marched back to a reception at the T.C.U. student center, which started with thirty minutes of student entertainment. Brother Barry Glynn Williams started the presentations with his poem "IF NATURE COULD SPEAK." A little while later, brothers Blake Moorman and Tim Williams, along with Correllia Allen (an Alpha Angel) inspired all with the song "HIS EYES ARE ON THE SPARROW." The presentations concluded with Eta Psi singing "unusually loud and energetically" the Alpha hymn. The day ended with a memorial service in Brother King's honor at 5:00 p.m. in T.C.U.'s Robert Carr Chapel. This sevice was conducted by a brother of Eta Psi. February 7 saw our annual Greek Show. The show well attended, the brothers of East Texas State University won first place in the fraternity division. In the sorority division the sisters of Alpha Kappa Alpha at T.C.U. took first place. The Wisconsin Sleepers of North Texas State University took 42

Proceeds from the show went to the Urban League, the N . A . A . C . P . , and the United Negro College Fund. The ministry continued the next morning as we journeyed west to Mineral Wells, Texas, where we spoke to five churches about sickle cell disease. Our 23rd Annual Texas State Convention in El Paso will be attended by Brother Blake Wayne Moorman. Also, Eta Psi will participate in the upcoming five chapter Dallas-Fort Worth party at the University of Texas at Arlington. Furthermore, we are pleased to announce that two more sweet ladies have started that journey to Alpha Angel Land. As the brothers of Eta Psi continue to hold up the Light of Alpha be it known that all are always welcome here in Horned Frog Land, where we truly live the motto: First of all, servants of all, we shall transcend all!" —Barry Glynn Williams

Under the leadership of the president, Gamma Eta Lambda Chapter became a regular volunteer source for the thrice weekly delivery of hot meals to the shut-in and the elderly, in support of Meal-on-Wheels. On each of the three days, a Brother gives up his lunch hour to pick up the meals from the food preparation site and deliver them to the grateful participants on his assigned route. The program was being coordinated by Brother Larry Barnes, who was forced to make a career change which called for him to relocate to another state. His duties were readily picked up by Brother Edward Roby.
