Editorially Speaking Conventions-Ways to Improve Them Half of the fun of large conventions and boules would be absent if there were no elections! There is no other hour that can pack a half-empty house as fast as the day of nominations for officers. It is my opinion that elections during a regular convention puts too much stress on the participants. I do not have the answer but feel our elections are mini facsimiles of larger political ones. Often I feel the rhetoric is similiar too. During this time a bit of mud is thrown in what is considered harmless politicking but often leaves its scars long afterwards.

The past four years of working with the Warner Press Commercial Service of Anderson, Indiana have been of great assistance to me in the production of theArchon. John Silvey, artist and designer, and Randy Smith, salesman, have been excellent help. They have always been cooperative. I shall miss the opportunity of working with these dependable persons. They have often gone beyond the ordinary services so that the Arch on might be published.

Apologies are in order to those whose names and photographs did not match in our last issue. This office tries to make sure persons are properly identified, however, there are times when you the writer thinks everybody knows the local person in your community. Often names of chapters are so similiar that it is easy to mislabel the picture. Lo siento!

Thank you is in order to many of you who have cooperated so beautifully in sending your news. You have followed guidelines and have enabled this office to produce five issues. Your pictures will be given to you at the convention or sent to the National Office in a special folder bearing the name of your chapter.

Letters to the Editor: Enclosed is a quote I composed in honor of the Equal Rights Amendment. My state thus far has produced a president but our legislature will not pass the ERA. It is beginning to look like the ERA wiU not become constitutional law, unless Congress extends the time it takes a constitutional amendment to become law. Why should any American be against women, who are being discriminated against in many ways, having equal constitutional rights with men. Since women pay taxes, work, serve in the armed forces, and serve in political fields, why should they be discriminated against in a nation that is supposed to be the freest nation in the world. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. hit the streets to get Negroes equal rights. Women who are in favor of the ERA should hit the streets and use the identical methods of the late Dr. King. The ERA is supported by conservatives, liberals, and members of all races, colors, creeds and religions. Why should any American be against rights and for discrimination? Civilization has a long way to go, doesn't it? Ted Shiflett 201 John Davenport Dr. Rome, Ga. 30161

A big thank you for those letters of praise when you enjoyed the Issues and criticism when you felt there was room for improvement. I feel we have reached a broad spectrum of readers. It is my hope that future issues will steadily improve with your cooperation.

"The ERA will bring a better day."-Ted Shiflett

P.S. Do send me one copy of your publication you place my letter in. If that is not possible do let me know the date you Representatives from the embassies of Liberia, Ghana, publish my quote.

Alice E. Roye

Pearl A. Neal

Marian H. Baker

I knew Alyce quite well. Alyce possessed the ability to see an object, and dream of what it could become. She looked at the Birch Haven cottage and saw its state, and dreamed of the once glorious days of Idlewild and of Soror Violet Anderson. She was determined, as Chairperson of the Trustees, to save the property and restore it for useful purposes. What was started as a one person campaign grew until it caught the imagination of the Executive Board and then the entire constituency. Through Miss Birch Haven contests conceived by Alyce and the Trustee Board, monies were garnered to rebuild Birch Haven. Today stands the evidence of that dream that began deep down in one soror' s heart, a monument of great faith. Greatness takes the form of many different shapes. Many of our new sorors have possibly heard of Soror Pearl Neal. They call her one of the "Five Pearls." However, there are other Pearls who by their quiet service render us all a bit taller in the sight of our Creator.

These women of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. have made their final flight homeward and have gathered at that "Great Boule." Sorors Pearl Neal, founder; Marion R. Baker, and Alyce E. Roye, national officers of the Sorority, made a difference! Each made a significant contribution. I never really became too knowlegeable of Soror Neal, for our paths only crossed at Soules, but from the expressions of others, she ranks as an outstanding woman in the field of music. She left a bit of herself with•those she encompassed. My association with Marion was limited. I knew her through the eyes of my sister who serviced her school as a librarian with the New Orleans Public Library System. Through her eyes, Marion possessed great strength of character. She believed greatly in the potential of black students, and demanded that they not short change themselves. Marion served under the presidency of Soror Bradham, who possibly was partly responsible for the shaping of such a remarkable woman. 3

Miss Birch Haven Contest - 1978 The Miss Birch Haven contest closed on July 24, 1978. A new "Miss Birch Haven" was crowned early in the Boule, making it possible for her to "reign" over the Boule activities. First prize is an all-expense paid trip to Boule; second prize is one-half of all expenses to Boule paid; third prize is the payment of registration fee. Contest prizes will be awarded to the three contestants with the highest amount over $1,500.

Mrs. Burford has been In pursuit of this holy sanction for several years. She received a degree in Religion from Butler University, School of Religion in 1952.

and President of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), gave the ordination sermon. George Smith, interim Regional Minister for the Christian Church in Indiana, gave the "Charge."

Black Women Honored

Claudette Black McDaniel

Gayle Greer Eta Upsilon Zeta Chapter put on a fine display of leadership when it honored Gayle Greer as Woman of the Year for 1978. The three-year old chapter could not have found a more apt choice if they had searched a long, long time. Ms. Greer who has just recently been named Executive Director of Urban League of Fort Wayne, Indiana, has begun to make some community inroads that brought tears when various spokespersons told what she had meant to their community. Gayle is easy to know. She is a southern-born with roots in Oklahoma and Houston, Texas. She was awarded the Citizen of the Year Award in 1976, Who's Who in Black America in 1977, attends Union Baptist Church, and has one son Van Greer. Dr. Edith V. Francis brought an excellent speech that was quite appropriate to the occasion.

Hazing: The Legal Ramifications (Condensed)

By Patricia A. Russell, Esq. It is expected that an organization will seek to determine an applicant's commitment to the ideals, goals, purpose and precepts of that organization and to acquaint the pledgees with the organization's history. Conversely, it is not expected or anticipated by Greek-letter organization's national office policy that a pledgee will be required to engage In or undergo various acts of hazing to satisfy membership requirements. Regrettably, however, many Greeks find it necessary to reach back into the pages of Greek-letter history and revitalize, implement and perpetrate physical, mental and emotional acts of hazing upon potential members. A 1974 New York Times survey ... found that Greek-letter organizations had returned to academic seriousness and social consciousness instead of acts of hazing and secret rituals. Further, the survey concluded that the revival of Greek-letter organizations was partly attributed to the decline in social activism; whereas, the academic seriousness was engendered in part by the job market and the general "return to normalcy" on college campuses. Significantly, a distinction was made regarding Black fraternal organizations observing that those organizations having historically addressed social issues also continued to value secret rituals' and other traditions abandoned by their white counterparts. Over the years Greeks have

established a long and tarnished record. The unsuspecting pledgee has endured a multi-faceted maze of indignities, student degredation and physical punishment in striving to fulfill the "pledge requirements." Greeks argue that the pledge program has been designed to test dedication, determination and seriousness of purpose. The law does not address itself to one's intentions, instead the courts have advanced the doctrine that a person intends the natural and probable consequences of his acts. Intention to harm the person is of the essence, but general recklessness is sufficient; hence striking intentionally or acting in a way which is clearly in reckless disregard to human life and safety is sufficient. . . . The courts have ruled that when you strike a person, you intended whatever consequences occurred th ere after. . . . If you are individually and/or collectively determined to omit or make secondary the national policy of your particular organization ... then be prepared to be the defendant in a court case· to negotiate a legal settlement and to' pay the settlement; and In a criminal case be prepared to serve a prison term .... The plaintiff whether pledgee or parents or both typically brings the suit against the individual(s), responsible for the hazing, the local chapter and the national office of the organization. The actor soon becomes the one acted

upon, the adage rightly states, "What Goes Around Comes Around." Please be advised that the moment, the very instant that you slip, falter or fail to recognize the rather rudimentary legal aspects concerning hazing you may find yourself involved in a legal matter. ... In hazing cases it can be expected that your school administration and your organization's national office will take simultaneous action of suspension or reprimand. You should be advised that the charges that relate to battery can range from simple (not resulting in grievous bodily injury, e.g., slaps on the face) to high and aggravated, e.g., acts carried out by the use of a deadly weapon: the use of a wooden paddle to beat pledgees can be construed by the court as a deadly weapon .... If you were in a pledging situation and allowed certain negligent conduct to occur you could find yourself charged with "negligence" ranging from "gross" to "slight" A mini-law course? Maybe. At least a brief analysis of the realities of what can happen to you and your organization once a pledgee is abused, mistreated, maimed, crippled or killed .... In closing, I cannot help but wonder how those who are the pledge victims of their so-called big sisters and big brothers feel inwardly when they join the circle of Greekdom? Do they ask, was the investment worth the product?

Dr. Wolfe haa aerved aa the director of the African Study Abroad Program at Queens aince 1969, and la a frequent vlaltor to Africa.

The Challenge of African ethics to American standards and values. To an American this topic may sound a bit strange, but could the moral principles of the African possibly challenge American values? Could we-educated Americans-really learn something from "the dark continent"? Such questions are not surprising, for it is not unusual for a society to think that it is living in the best of all possible worlds. It is particularly easy for an American to fall into this trap. Our pride in turning a country which began as thirteen fledging colonies into a major world power in a little over a century and a half is not unwarranted. Our complacency toward our standards is another issue. Our forefathers expressed in the Declaration of Independence-all men are created equal. Every man/woman has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but our record of translating these ideas into reality, however, could stand some improvement. The cultural impact of the black slavery system of the American South is still reverberating throughout our society more than 115 years after Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation-in verbal and physical violence toward school children, not only in the South, but even in the birthplace of our democracy, Boston; in discriminatory housing laws in our large cities, school systems and in unfair job practices. The slums of our cities are hardly fruitful soil for cultivating the spirit and intellect of our youth; it is no wonder that they

have become breeding grounds for juvenile delinquency and adult crime. We are told that America has witnessed a religious revival in the years since World War II, but we need only once meet the compartmentalized hostility of the narrow sectarian to question the depth of such a religious revival. Equality of opportunity? Our society is certainly more fluid than that of most of our forebearers in other lands, but let's not kid ourselves into thinking that class distinctions do not exist. The son of the janitor and the son of the corporation president may both go to college, but chances are it will be more difficult for the son of the janitor to get a good education than for the son of the corporation executive. We Can Learn from Others My point is simply that our society is not perfect, and there are still things we can learn from others. Ours may be a good world, but it is not the best of all possible worlds. We must remember this whenever we come into contact, physically or intellectually, with other societies, and particularly when we meet the African. In many ways his world is quite different from ours. Yet, the African whom we are most likely to come into contact with-the student, the teacher, the government representative, the businessman-will be in part the product of Western culture, of the African colonial experience. His education will be European or American inspired. His political institutions wiU be fashioned after ours.

He will be deeply committed to utilizing Western technology to transform the revolution of rising expectations in his continent into a full tide of higher living standards. Superficially, he may seem so Western to us that we will be shocked when he says or does something unfamiliar or surprised to discover that the meeting of minds we anticipated seems rather to be a running of two minds along two parallel tracks, not far apart but destined never to meet as one. The disappointment of this discovery feeds our condescending attitude. We have offered the African the ripened fruits of our civilization: parliaments, educational system, scientific discoveries, and material comforts. He has tasted of them, but he has not really digested them. No sooner do we turn our backs does he revert to the magic cures of the witch doctor. This attitude-with graded variations I admit-is fairly typical of all of us, even those of us who say we would like to understand Africa and individual Africans better. We forget that the African is African, that his values are not the same as ours. We comprehend only that part of him which resembles us. As soon as we see something new and "foreign" we withdraw in puzzlement into our splendid condescension. We refuse to admit that we might learn something from him. We conceive of our relationship with Africa and Africans as a donor-recipient arrangement. We are the teachers, and they are the learners. We challenge our

pupils to use to the best of their ability what we give them-materially, intellectually, ethically. But perhaps it is time for us to examine the challenge which African standards present to us. Awareness of Differences

The first step toward meeting this challenge is to develop an awareness of the differences between our values and those of the African and a realization that although an individual African may have adopted many Western values, he is still basically African in thought and action. The second step is to recognize that Africans visiting Western societies have been honestly shocked by some of our standards. A South African in exile in Nigeria, Ezekiel Mphahlele, in a book called The African Image has commented more seriously on the cultural difference between Africa and the West: "For the African Negro the problem lies in the struggle to express the larger irony which Is the meeting point between acceptance and rejection. Once he has felt the impact of Western civilization ... there are certain things they (Africans) reject from the West, which have to do with a sense of values in such areas as patterns of behaviour and human relationships.'' Africa has become a meeting place of two streams of culture and tradition, of two systems of morality and government, of two divergent approaches to life. The African has incorporated much of Western technology and Western ideas into his value system, but beneath and around thls remains the framework of pre-colonial values, as follows: (1) the idea of the responsibility of the

community toward all its members, (2) limitation of authority and government by discussion, and (3) the enjoyment of living as an end in itself. Herein l!es the first challenge to American standards: The responsibility

.•ll!llllllliliiii•111:•:::1:111•1••••••••••••••••••••••••••••·•· ·•

of the community toward all its to speak for them by age and position members. The basic unit of African as heads of families. Any elder could society is still the tribe, and the family is the center of the social organism. The individual African considers himself an integral member of a larger social group-of an extended family embracing several generations, of a larger lineage, a tribe, of a unified cluster of lineages, a community. The group is responsible for him and he is responsible to it. The individual is brought up to behave in a manner which will bring honor and not disgrace to the group. He is taught mutual helpfulness and cooperation: that each member should help the other, in health or sickness, in success or failure, in plenty or poverty. No relative, no matter how distant, can be refused hospitality for as long as he may request it. And relatives are often given other types of aid also, such as money to educate children or to pay the bride-price for a son's marriage. Among some tribes, in fact, custom obliges every man to give any relative whatever he might ask for. Each family is in effect a miniature welfare state. The sick and the old are assured of care. The young and the able are early taught their responsibilities toward the group. African tribal life conjures in our minds the pulsating rhythm of the drum beat and the frenzied dancing of masked natives. Our vision is fogged by its captivating primitivism, and we fail to see that in the sphere of community responsibility the African tribe has gone far beyond the modern social welfare state.

speak openly in council or assembly, and the chief was bound to respect the eider's advice. There were severe penalties if a chief exceeded his powers. Among the Yoruba in Nigeria, for example, if a chief did not listen to the advice of the elders, his council might present him with a parrot's egg; he was then obliged to retreat into the bush and commit suicide.

A third African challenge to American values is the African enjoyment of living as an end in itself.

African music with its vibrant rhythms, African sculpture representing human figures and life symbols, show the complete involvement of the African in the act of living. The African is less concerned with efficiency and the mere accomplishment of a task than the American. Working conditions, human camaraderie are more important to him. African hedonism presents a refreshing challenge of contrasts to our goal-oriented society. Our fetish of individualism unfortunately has often times obscured the importance of man's relations with other men and has repressed his human warmth until he has become a self-seeking island of lonely prejudice indifferent to the human personalities around him. Perhaps we need to re-learn from the Africans the fundamentals of human relationships. The African has a directness and a simplicity that the sophisticated Westerner often lacks. He will tell you what he thinks and feels rather than obscure his reactions in tactful A second challenge to American hypocrisy. The most important chalstandards is the African principle of the lenge of all to American standards and limitation of authority and government values is the unswerving dedication of by discussion. Precolonial African the African to his ideals and goals. Yes we have taught Africa somepolitical systems usually contained safeguards against the capricious thing, but we have much to learn from exercise of power by one person. her. Just how much? An old Kenyan Chiefs seldom made important proverb sums the question up in just a decisions without consulting their few words. "He who does not know people, usually through elders qualified one thing knows another."

THE MONROVIA CITY CORPORATION OFFICE OF THE MAYOR

CITY HALL, TUBMAN BOULEVARD MONROVIA, LIBERIA

Welcome to Zeta Phi Beta Sorority By: His Honor Edward A. David Mayor of Monrovia The President, Officers and Members of ZETA PHI BETA SORORITY, The Presicent, Officers and Members of DELTA IOTA ZETA CHAPTER, Ladies and Gentlemen: Just under three decades ago, an institution was established on these shores of Africa and in this city; an organization renowned for its service to humanity and whose relevance to these times in which we live has been tested over the years. The establishment of the DELTA IOTA ZETA CHAPTER of ZETA PHI BETA in Monrovia in 1948 did not only open a new chapter in the economic and social advancement of the residents of this city, but made possible the acceleration of human contacts between Liberians and their brothers in the United States. I am particularly pleased to welcome the members of ZETA PHI BETA to the city of Monrovia because in following your activities over the years, I have seen the many benefits which our people have derived from your Sorority. I also take pride in extending to each of you a very warm welcome because ZETA PHI BETA was born on the campus of our Alma Mater, Howard University. We are indeed happy to have you in Monrovia, because yours is not a sight seeing trip, but rather a concrete manifestation of your love and concern for your brothers and sisters. Your Regional Conference will enable you to continue your valuable work in education health and home economics. By your actions over the years, you have positively identified with the hopes and aspirations of our people and you have practiced the Motto of the True Whig Party: "Deeds, Not Words." You have come to Monrovia during an important era in the history of our city. You have come at a time when Monrovians are facing the challenge of home rule, for we represent the first elected Mayor in 53 years. You are visiting us while we are in the midst of a self-help effort to raise $1 Million to provide such essential facilities as: public toilets, additional sanitation equipment, additional markets, a bus terminal, a new cemetery. We therefore entertain the hope that your Sorority, outstanding for its humanitarianism in the past, will identify with the present and future needs of our people. On behalf of the 200,000 residents of Monrovia, Mrs. David and in my own name, I welcome each of you. I want to wish for you success in your deliberations and a pleasant stay in our Nation's Capital. July 19, 1977

OUR STOPOFF IN LIBERIA Concert In Muncipal Auditorium When one leaves the Robert's Field Airport, a sinking feeling sets in if you have not visited Monrovia, Liberia previously. The sorors of Delta Iota Zeta chapter had many surprises in store for visiting sorors and friends. From the moment we touched down on African soil to the moment we left, the Monrovians left no stone unturned. We were immediately told that a special concert had been planned for us at the Municipal Auditorium. It was a real delight with a local high school choir of approximately 30 or 40 voices that sang many songs in Bantu and Cru. Sorors were entertained by listening to special numbers from a musical saw which concluded the program. Workshops Conducted In Monrovia Most activities of the African Regional Conference of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority were conducted at City Hall. The Initiation of eleven Monrovian women into Zeta Phi Beta Sorority was conducted in the upper chamber of the Mayor of Monrovia. This historic occasion increased the number of Zetas in Delta Iota Zeta Chapter to sixty-five sorors. The newly initiated sorors had an opportunity to participate in two workshops directed by Dr. Edith V. Francis, National vice-president and Soror Vetris Martin, National parliamentarian. Dr. Deborah C. Wolfe who has traveled to Africa and around

the world during an expanse of fourteen years, directed the Conference in a lively seminar on the geographic make up of Liberia, family, careers, health, education and economic development. She was assisted by Liberian sorors who filled in with facets of family traditions, including the extended family life; the economic needs of Liberia. An Evening with the President An evening with President William R. Tolbert was one to remember. Two bus loads of Zetas and their friends were properly escorted to the ballroom of the President's Mansion. It was here Dr. A Doris Henries, Ministry of Higher Education and Director of The African Region brought greetings followed by the introduction of His Excellency William R. Tolbert. The President praised Zeta Phi Beta Sorority for being the group for achieving many outstanding feats In Liberia. A response was given by Soror Janice G. Kissner, National president of the Sorority, White Plains, New York. Soror Kissner stated the groups had brought supplies for the establishment of a Stork's Nest in West Africa. Dr. Henries and President Tolbert both were presented gifts by Dr. Edith Francis and Soror Ida 8. King respectively. A Sigma brother representing the national office of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity presented to Dr. Tolbert a life-member's pin. Soror Effie Burford closed the occasion with prayer.

An Evening of Cultural Performance The Honorable Mayor Edward David, Mayor of the City of Monrovia brought greetings. After other proper introductions of national officers of Zeta Phi Beta, the visiting sorors feasted their eyes on dancing that had never been witnessed. It seemed that each group of dancers tried to outdo the previous performers. This included a wide variety of participants who because of dress represented a particular dance with special significance. If the dancers were good, the acrobats were exceptional. Never before had any among us witnessed acrobats who could perform such extraordinary feats. There were so called "mini acrobats" who would be equally as effective within a few years. Many of the dancers were in attendance at the famous Lagos Festival held in Nigeria a couple of years ago. Soror Ida B. King Presents ''Footsteps Across Africa'' Soror Ida B. King presented "Footsteps Across Africa" for sorors and friends while on East Africa Tour ll. The program was in the form of a talent search program where sorors shared their special talent including dramatic readings, flute solos acappella choir, and Spanish-Engllsh fun songs. The talent program served to create cohesiveness among sorors and friends during their last days in Africa.

The Ivory Coast: Edueation The lvorian authorities recognize that the economic development of the country will require an increasing cadre of trained and educated personnel and the 14% increase in the education budget reflects this position. Expenses for education amounting to $4 million make up the largest single item of the 1971 lvorian operating budget. Priority is given to centers that will develop professional and technical skills. The 12,000 pupils that enter the secondary level each year are considered sufficient

to provide a base for this effort. The University of Abidjan, established in 1963, had an enrollment of 2, 700 in 1969/70 and an enrollment of 6,000 by 1975. The free public school system covers all levels of education including the University of Abidjan. There are approximately 5,000 primary schools of which one third are private or parochial. Primary and secondary school enrollment for 1972 was just under 600,000. Schooling at the

primary level was the goal for 197 5. The current literacy was estimated to be 20%. To speed the process of education at the primary level and mitigate the teacher shortage, a $19 million TV educational project has been undertaken. Supported by the World Bank with a loan of $11 million, the aim was to ultimately give televised instruction to more than 700,000 pupils in grades one through six.

Impression of Ghana: Aeera Under the guidance of Joseph Ankumah, the group spent four days visiting various places of interest in the Ghanan capital city of Accra. The children of the Reformed Apostolic School make a lasting impression. These children-fifty in number between the ages of 5 and IO-greeted Zetas with a variety of light and joyous music In their own tribal language. The children seemed to be receiving good training In the social graces as evidenced by their excellent mannerslearned even with the school's meager supplies.

Mr. Ankumah pointed with pride to the many innovations in his country which he ascribed to the new government. He was especially proud of the new Liberation House, constructed under the colorful leadership of the late President Nkrumah for the special meetings of the Pan African Conference. The flags of the 41 member nations are flown when the Conference is in session. From there the group journeyed to the famed Elmina and Cape Coast Casas. Both of these places were the shipping points for many Blacks taken 31

from Africa during the peak of slave-trading. They are located approximately 100 miles north of Accra. The dark, subterranean dungeons which held thousands of slaves pending sale to merchants from various lands are grim reminders of our historic past. The two casas once served as the seat of government and are connected by a tunnel through which the slaves were sent. The Cape Coast Casas housed torture chambers which were used for those trying to escape.

t National Offlcen of Zeta Phi Beta and Nadonal Black Educaton along with Offldala of Conference Center, Nairobi, Kenya.

Zeta's Visits with Ber Excellency Marguerite Kenyetta Marguerite Kenyetta, the daughter of President Komo Kenyetta, President of Kenya is the Executive Secretary for the United Nations Environment Programme, located in the Conference Center, Nairobi. Miss Kenyetta is charged with a coordinating role. The main reason for UNEP is to promote coordination among national and international organizations and to encourage emphasis on environmental control in their deliberations. The Environment Coordination Board was established by the General Assembly Resolution 2997 in 1972. Her Excellency, in addressing a group of visiting sorors stated, "We and you are sisters, we and you are brothers.'' The president's daughter is a friendly woman who smiles often, but becomes quite serious when discussing the subject of Kenya and its problems concerning its environment. In spite of the brochures that display lush countryside and an abundance of animals, Kenya ls having problems with soil erosion. Kenya is basically an agricultural state, and must take seriously its environment. Ninety percent of the people depend upon agriculture. Where water supply is scarce or distant, Kenya must rely upon irrigating land for good production.

Miss Kenyetta felt it is important to advise the people of proper farming techniques, forestry, nursery and reforestation. Every year trees are given to people to replace those cut down. Kenya has far more water than many countries, but hopes to get water from underground, and build dams to hold back water during rainy season before ii flows on to the Indian Ocean. Environment concerns the meteorology ministry. It is of vital importance that the people be informed of drastic droughts even before they occur. Most imperative says Her Excellency that Kenya ' find solutions to stop desert advance southward. In the eastern segment of the country attempts are being made to reclaim areas not used for farming, and to try to prevent further desertification. Another most important problem facing Kenya is that of energy. The Deputy Minister is not referring to oil or electricity, but to trees. Numerous rural people must depend upon wood for cooking. It is necessary that the people have wood or charwood for cooking, or they must look for another source. Excessive cutting of trees has in part caused the erosion. Some sections of Kenya are now experimenting with large windmills that produce enough electrical power

for the entire source of energy for the area. It is also possible to use the windmills for extracting water from underground or from lakes for irrigation. Biological waste, cow dung mixed with water, may be converted to gas, that in turn may be used for cooking. Another vital concern is that of pollutants. Often vessels run on the reefs carrying millions of gallons of oil. A problem exists should the vessel break up. Her Excellency states that the most grave problem of all is the need for environmental education. "Colonial rule did not provide education for surviving generations. Incorrect chopping of trees from slopes, causing soil erosion, was due to ignorance. Today's education at all levels includes education on Kenya's environment. Our gracious hostess expressed her great caring for us as her sisters, and invited us to her office-suite for four o'clock refreshments. The writer asked Her Excellency about a younger sister who had attended schools In the State of Indiana whereupon she broke up laughing and remarked that she was home in Kenya. Perhaps she had recalled her younger sister's outspoken manner while in the U.S.A.

Dr. Julia Ojiambo: ~~ Mary Macleod Bethune" of Kenya During the Parliamentary election of 1974 in Kenya, Dr. Julia Ojlambo emerged as the first African woman to become Assistant Minister. This was no easy feat. During the last several years of independence, Kenyan women have waged a battle seeking their place in a society largely dominated by men. Dr. Oilambo confesses to having been born of a Missionary family, and believes th at growing with a large family has contributed to being able to identify more with country people and their problems. During the early sixties she worked with the YWCA and directed its field education programs which included teaching mothers. Visits to the countryside enabled Dr. Oilarnbo to become familiar with the problems involving mothers and infants. By 1965 she became chairperson of the Kenya National Council of Women. Her research into rural nutritional problems related to mothers and children

continued until in 1968 when she received a scholarship through World Health Organization to do graduate study at Harvard University. She did some work toward the Ph.D. at McGill University in Canada, and later transferred her family to University of Nairobi. She completed her doctorate in human nutrition in 1973 in the Faculty of Medicine. When she left the University to contest a Parliamentary seat, Dr. Ojlambo left an important job as University Senior Lecturer. Her main concern seems to have been for all Kenyans, better health, better education and improvement in social and economic status. She says "I would like my people to use this land effectively. From this, they will be able to get their wealth, food and good health. Given cooperation with Government authorities we will be able to alleviate our long-standing water problems, improve roads for better

communication with other consti tuencies." As an Assistant Minister for Housing and Social Services, her concern is better housing. These words say a lot about this outstanding woman: "Let the politically aspiring come along and join us, but I do not wish to hide from them the fact that it is a stiff hill-climb. Politics is something that needs to be planned very carefully. You cannot underrate the country people for they are also a thinking people. There are many things they look for in. the candidates of their choice. We cannot impose ourselves on them no matter how educated we are. They need somebody whom they can trust, somebody they can open their hearts to and who can listen to them, even if one cannot find a solution to all their problems.... The country people know no favortism and will vote on merits alone."

Leaders meet: President Julius K. Nyerere of Tanzania gives President Carter a fimbo, an African walking stick, in the Oval Office. The leaders discussed Rhodesia.

A Glimpse of an Humble Man

By: Soror Effie Burford

The four men were dressed like Black Methodist preachers, the eleven women were beautifully fashioned as they came aboard our 727 Pan Am flight in Kenya. The ruffles, lapa dresses, gold bracelets, and headdresses worn at different angles conveyed to us a message. These were church women. I questioned one distinguished woman who confirmed my suspicions. They had attended a Baptist conference for women in Nairobi and were returning to Lagos. Naturally I assumed the four men dressed in black suits with what seemed to have been clerical collars were husbands of some of the women. These four men set apart in Liheria airport. I noticed only because I kept

trying to recall where I had seen the distinguished gray-haired gentleman. When we landed in New York my roommate, Eva Rice, could not locate her luggage. While she searched the luggage carrousel, I struck up a conversation with a woman whose bustle-backed dress caught my eye. One compliment led to another and we found ourselves exchanging names. She introduced herself as Mary Makeba of Tanzania and listed the Tanzania Embassy as where she could be contacted. In the midst of our conversation, the four African "ministers" came and stood where we were sitting. Miss Makeba became tense, rose to her feet, and said goodbye.

Four or five days later, while watching national news on TV my questions were answered. One of the men I thought to be a black Methodist minister was none other than Dr. Julius Nyerere, president of Tanzania, being greeted by President Carter. The idea that the president of a country would travel for 19 hours in the tourist class-when he could have demanded and received first class treatment-told me a lot about this man, his hopes, aspirations for his nation. Hts seeming unconcern for personal acclaim and his great concentration on the needs of his people has endeared him to many as perhaps the most "people centered" leader of an African country today.

Dr. Julius Nyerere: Third World SpokesDlan Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere Is Tanzania's first and only President. Mwalimu was born at Butiama, a small village near Lake Victoria in 1922 the son of Chief Nyerere Burito of the Wazanaki tribe. Following primary and secondary school, he obtained a diploma in education after two years study at Makerere College in Uganda in 1945. He taught for three years and then entered Edinburgh University, graduating with a Master of Arts degree in 1952. He became the country's first Chief Minister in 1960 in a combined elected and official Colonial Government and later Prime Minister upon internal self rule. In 1962 he was elected the first president of Tanganyika and upon the union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar became the President of Tanzania. He is now the Chairman of Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM) the new political party emerging from the merger of TANU and ASP on 5th February, 1977. In 1960 he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws from Duquesne University in the U.S. and has since received similar honors from the Universities of Edinburgh, Cairo. He is often referred to as "Mwal!mu" which means teacher in Swahlh, Tanzania's national language. He is also one of the few African

leaders to give convincing signs that he is not hypnotized by petty nationalism and would relinquish some state sovereignty in the pursuit of real African integration. He has been held back less by his own wishes than by the reluctance of others to make comparable changes. He is a thoughtful pan-Africanist and practical supporter of southern Africa. He came to power with a vision of what independence must eventually mean to the people of Tanzania and has been moving towards fulfillment of it ever since. The essence of government and party policy in Tanzania has been expressed in speeches, lectures and seminars over the years. Dr. Nyerere is earnestly listened to in many countries as the authentic voice of Africa trying to outline its colonial past and formation, but perversely because his reaction has been exceptional. It is precisely because his government challenged many of the assumptions bequeathed by the colonial era to Africa and largely accepted elsewhere that Dr. Nyerere has become a most significant Third World spokesman. Tanzania's experiment proves if successful that a poor Third World country can be governed for the masses in the countryside,

rather than for the minority in the cities. The shift of the national capital to Dodoma and the constant attempts to devolve administration form the centre to the regions are a clear affirmation of the wish to take services to the people. Similarly the pace for Ujamaa villagers development is justified by Dr. Nyerere on the ground that only through this program can basic living standards be raised for the majority. Dr. Nyerere's ideas, where they are known outside Tanzania give hope to the peasants in a way that the shining skyscrapers of some African capitals cannot. Dr. Nyerere is a politician and a democrat. He cannot function as a benevolent despot but must coach and coax the party machine and the people-hence his customary title of "Mwalimu," the teacher. He asks more of nearly every Tanzanian than almost any other contemporary African leader dares ask of his people and as he attends African gatherings and sees the changing faces, he knows how easy it is for an African government to be overthrown. He asks for time for the experiments-Ujamaa villages, food, self-sufficiency, industrial self-reliance-and makes promises for future generations rather than quick returns to party loyalists.

Our arrival at the airport was near mid-day as a too bright sun, absolutely free of pollutants, foc used down upon us. The large crowd of travelers both foreign and domestic quickly made their way to their proper stalls. It did not take long to recog nize thirty -odd Americans with forty-nine pieces of luggage. "Thirty persons and forty-nine suitcases and val pacs." Immediately we became the island in the sea. Between Swahili and English, Zeta sorors found the workers could not handle our luggage due to border differences between Tanzania and Kenya. Each of us gave a "heave-ho" and wobbled toward the door where a "fana bus" waited. Just in case you are not familiar with a fana bus, it is a bus that travels long distances over the countryside to collect rural people. It

has been my experience that the "fana bus" has often seen its better years of service. Ours was no exception. We soon reached our hotel, Hotel Kllimanjaro. I tried to find some reason the hotel has been named for the famous mountain. Dar es Salaam is not at the foot of the mountain; it is where mountain climbers come to obtain

passage for the trip to the mountain. Some enterprising person must have thought up the name. Our hotel was situated a few hundred feet from the Indian Ocean. Here we spent our late evenings looking out windows upon the many ships in harbor. Tanzania was our last official stop before going home. We found out upon arrival that our rooms had been cancelled due to some mix-up in communication. Three of us had to share rooms. We found our hotel comfortable, soon adjusted to three persons living in a small room, enjoyed eating in our assigned areas, encouraged the band from Spain and found ourselves making friends with the Tanzanians. Blacks living in Tanzania from the USA were helpful too. An all day trip to Bagamoyo, seventy miles north of Dar es Salaam, proved to be an exciting venture. Bagamoyo, meaning "lay down the burden of your heart," is reminiscent of Its function as terminus of the slave caravan route from the hinterland to other destinations. There are reminders of the early travelers in the museum: the

memorial to Burton and Speke, explorers of the Lake Victoria; the chapel where Livingstone's body was laid before being taken to Zanzibar and then to Westminster Abbey. There are ruins of Kaole, five miles south of Bagamoyo. More important were the children who found us strange. They pointed to our feet and laughed uncontrollably. Few children spoke English, but would follow us around while we negotiated to take their pictures. Picture-taking here seemed to have been taboo One little friend decided we could take his picture provided we paid him a dollar, whereupon we laughed! Bagamoyo is a historic city that has not changed too much! Its huge doors that once sheltered horses are reminiscent of the past. There were many high points in various countries. There is no way possible to rate one country above another, for each has its own flavor, its own history, its own people, its own governmental policy. Some countries seem less government-centered than others.

Tanzania's System: The Ujamaa Village The rural population of Tanzania is dispersed over a vast area (362,820 sq. miles, 939,709 sq. km.). Very often people cannot be reached by modern methods of agriculture, medical care, schools and the like, and they cannot market their surplus output To make all these possible, Tanzanians should live together and preferably return to communal ways of living. Hence the Ujamaa villages are to be formed on a voluntary basis and can function in many different ways, depending on the wishes and needs of the members. This also applies to the existing villages, which have to become collectives. The only thing in common may be a few

acres where cash crops are grown, or any other chosen product, while everything else is done on an individual basis. The aim, however, is for the village to become an economic unit, sharing responsibility and work. The Government makes the UJAMAA SYSTEM attractive by directing public resources to them. They are given priority on agricultural expertise, health centers, schools, roads, etc. It is believed that this is a better form of rural development in the Third World. The stress on rural development Is also an attempt to curb the urbanization process. Statistics show that there were more 38

than 6,000 registered villages with a total population of 9 million people at the end of 1976. These villages are heading to the level of complete co-production. The actual formation of villages has been most successf u! in Central, Southern, and Northern Tanzania. The concept of UJAMAA has by far been the important and well known instrument for carrying out Tanzania's socialism. The closest English equivalent of the word Is "brotherhood," and the idea is simply to apply the widespread African institution of the extended famUy on a large scale.

Plea ofthe Poor .

Exerpts of a speech delivered at the Howard Universtt», Crampton Auditorium by Tanzania's President, Julius K. Nyerere on August 5, 1977. I am going to speak to you about poverty, or more specifically the relations between the Haves and the Have-nots of the world. My own country, Tanzania, has the doubtful distinction of being included among the United Nation's list of the 25 poorest countries of the world. Perhaps it is not surprising, therefore, that I am one of those people who complain bitterly about the present world economic system and loudly demand that it should be changed. I would like to try to explain what, as we see it, the problem IS, and why the poor nations are demanding fundamental changes. We Are All Involved

It is through contact with what are called the Developed Market Economies that we in the Third World have become conscious of the twentieth century world. During the

Second World War our soldiers in Burma and North Africa were told they were fighting for freedom; in the colonial schools we heard of the demand "No taxation without representation." These teachings made the anti-colonial struggle intellectually logical and reinforced our own instinct for self-government. The call for human equality and justice was--and is-incompatible with racism; it therefore backs up our natural opposition to apartheid and the racial discrimination of which we have been victims for so long. Also, the demand for a welfare state, and the abolition of poverty reverberated from the developed nations to the poor ones. A life of poverty and inequality was being rejected everywhere in the world. The political demand for freedom leads to a separation of the colonized and the colonizer. But economically the situation is very different; our nations are locked together. It is not possible, much less desirable, for a newly independent nation to cut all economic links with its metropolitan trading partner or other developed nations. But a reexamination by the new state of the 39

economic relationships which grew up during the colonial period is inevitable. Experience, combined with analysis, then quickly teaches the young and poor nations that the present international economic system works automatically and inevitably to their disadvantage. There is an automatic

transfer of wealth from the poor countries, where it is needed to provide the necessities of life, to the rich countries where it is spent on creating and meeting new wants. This is not an ideological judgment. Capitalist and socialist Third World countries recognize the same truth. Nor is it a comment, for example, on capitalism within the U.S.A., or socialism within Tanzania; each nation has the right to choose its own social and economic system. It is an assessment of the arrangements under which nations deal with each other on economic matters; that is, about the results of institutions and arrangements which dominate international finance, trade, and investment, and so on. In this process the countries which are now known as the Third World were not involved. They were either

colonies of one or the other major powers, or were so weak or so far away from the main-stream of economic intercourse that they could be-and were-ignored. The dominant philosophy of international exchange which we met at independence-and which still prevails-is that of a "free market." In theory this means unfettered competition and bargaining between equals, with prices, being the result of the combined actions and wishes of sellers and buyers. In practice international exchange does not operate in such a free manner. Yet the theory continues to be taught and advocated, and the young countries are lectured on its virtues, and admonished not to try to interfere with it. Unfortunately the theory bears little relation to fact. Equality between nations of the modern world is only a legal equality. It is not an economic reality. Tanzania and America are not equal. A man who needs to sell his labour in order to buy bread and the man who controls both his employment and the price of bread are not equal. Their relationship is one of dependence and dominance. The primary producing countries which need to import manufactured goods are thus price-takers, not price-makers, both as seller and as buyer. We sell cheap and we buy dear, whether we like it or not. This is the position of most Third World countries-with the recent exception of the oil producers, who do now fix their own prices for the oil they sell.

The United There is no organized international States (which has not even accepted Poverty Breeds Poverty

Within nations we no longer think It proper to deal with the problem of poverty thro ugh the personal charity of the rich. Yet voluntary charity by the rich nations is what is being advoc ated as the method for dealing with the poverty of nations! Like the workers of the Industrialized countries, what we poor nations need is the right to work, and a fair return for our labor. We want equity not charity. For we want to depend upon our own efforts and to plan on the basis of those efforts. At present we cannot do so. Thus, world commodity prices fluctuate violently; sensible development decisions are almost impossible for countries dependent for their export earnings on one or tw o products.

The Responsibility of the Poor None of these things-indeed nothing at all-changes the responsibility of the poor to overcome their own poverty. The demand for a new international economic order is a way of saying that the poor nations must be enabled to develop themselves according to their own interests, and to benefit from the efforts according to their own interests, and to benefit from the efforts which they make. The poor should not And themselves trying to run up the "down" escalator while the rich sail upwards on their "up" escalator, as now. They should at least be moving in the same direction-it Is to be hoped with the poor moving faster!

Thus, there are two aspects to the fight against poverty in the Third World. The first is the responsibility of the undeveloped countries to work and organize for their own development and to build up self-reliant economies. The second is the world responsibility to re-structure the international economic order so that it facilitates rather than hinders the efforts made by the poor. Both these tasks need to be carried on at the same time. The iniquities of the international economic arrangements do not excuse economic and social injustices within poor nations; and continuing exploitation of the poor within Third World states is not justification for the automatic depredations suffered by the poor countries through the present mechanisms of international exchange. The rich have an interest in the poor having a greater share of the production and trade in manufactured goods, even though this will require lifting the barriers against the industrial exports of the Third World. For poor nations cannot forever buy goods without being able to sell their own products. On matters of industrial production and trade, cooperation and coordinated action between the two sides of the poverty divide is needed if unnecessary conflict and suffering is to be avoided in rich states as well as poor ones. Nor is it only trade between the rich and the poor nations which has to be stepped up. Greater cooperation, both in trade and in production, Is vital

between the underdeveloped nations themselves. They can help each other to develop. Let me add that to what extent this cooperation among the poor becomes a Trade Union of the poor, acting in combination against the rich, depends to a great extent on the actions of the rich world. Confrontation is not a desired strategy of the weak; but if reason, justice, and dialogue all fail to bring international changes needed to win the war against world pverty, then economic conflict Is bound to follow. The roots of OPEC were nourished by decades of gross exploitation and price-fixing by the major oil companies; its fruits jolted the whole world! Conclusion Friends, economics is only a part of life. Political freedom, social equality and respect, freedom of worship, freedom to live In peace and harmony with your fellows-all these things are very important to man. People have been willing to kill for them. But economics is about the means of life; it is basic. In poor countries, if there is a clash between individual freedom and economic development it is generally not possible to give priority to the former. For people are dying unnecessarily because they do not have clean water, enough good food, or basic medical care-which is what economic development means to us. The most basic human right of all is the right to life itself, and a life which is not made miserable by hunger, ignorance, or preventable disease.

Our

~~Roots'' of Nutrition by Marjay D. Anderson, Ph.D. Professor of Biology Howard University, Washington, D.C. Zetas on tour (1977) in West and East Africa were exposed to delightful and plentiful re pas ts. The cuisines sampled represented reminders of commonly eaten foods here in the United States plus generous varieties of foods consumed by our African ancestors. West African diets are predominantly based on staples rich in carbohydrates such as the familiar fu-fu. This is embellished with non-exhaustible supplies of tropical foods. Proteinpacked varieties of salt and fresh fish from the cold Atlantic waters as well as the endless inland rivers, streams, and tributaries pro vide adequate sources for proteins needed for maximum growth and development. ln addition, commercially grown livestock (cows, goats, oxen) and fowl (chickens, ducks, other small birds) also supply protein-enriched foods. A delectable variety of cereal grains (rice, maize, wheat, sorghum) provide the starchy type of carbohydrate while natural berries, some plant roots and leaves provide the sugar carbohydrate. Processing of these natural foods is limited thereby reducing the presence of preservatives or additives to the foods. Commonly eaten vegetables include the leaves of the pumpkin and potato plants; yams, mangoes, paw-paw(s); plaintain,

parsley, tomatoes, and the leaves, roots, stems, and fruits of other shrubs, herbs, and some deciduous trees. Preparation of these food types varies from baking to broiling to sauteeing, with very little frying as a rule. Foods are usually fried in palm oil which is low in cholesterol content. Spices, grown naturally and dried, include ginger, chili peppers, nutmeg, and the onion and garlic plants. Menus are heavily dominated by fish stews, baked meat and fish dishes, boiled vegetable dishes, and roasted meat, fish, and vegetable dishes. Popular beverages include the natural juices from citrus fruits such as limes; teas; natural brews from nuts; goat and cow milks. Fish and shellfish specimens include some familiar to continental Afro-Americans such as grouper, rockfish, catfish, crabs, prawns, and snails. Notably the West African diet is rich in protein, fiber, minerals, vitamins. The consumption of fatty foods, processed foods with additives and preservatives, foods high in cholesterol content is virtually negligible. Preparation and cooking of these foods varies from country to country and is overly influenced by the remnants of colonization cuisine preferences (I.e., Senengal, Ivory Coast and GabonFrench; Sierra Leone, Nigeria-British). Nutritionally the major food groups are 42

basically represented in most West African daily diets. Whereas the lack of a proliferation of additives and preservatives in foods exist, thereby reducing the propensity for carcinogenic stress; there is a concomitant propensity for the harboring and nuturing of disease-causing organisms when foods are not used immed.Jately.

Cuisine Preference of Eastern Africa Cross-continental travel from the West Coast countries to the countries of Eastern Africa engenders interesting changes in cuisine preference patterns. East African food staples include long and short rices, maize, wheat, tomatoes, onions, spinach, garlic, coconut and cocoa products, and products of the palm plant. Meat sources include cows, goats sheep, and exotic animals such as impala, and gazelle. Fresh fish from the Indian Ocean are salted and transported to land-locked cities such as Nairobi, Kenya daily. East African countries located nearer the equator than West African countries do not benefit from the lushness and frequent rainfalls that

encourage pro liferative growth of vegetation. The vegetation in East African countries reflects the hot, arid climate that characterizes most countries outside of high mountain ranges in East Africa. Domestic cultivation of vegetation registers significantly as well as commercial cultivation of leafy, green vegetation to supplement diets. Once again, there is little consumption of proc essed foods with additives and preservatives. And, again, preservation of meats, fish, and vegetables is a problem. Diets are high in protein. This was most notable in Tanzania, where the breakfast chicken egg yolk was pale compared to the

familiar yellow-pigmented yolk This was indicative of the high protein diet of the chicken, instead of a diet on corn, rich in lipid material. Beverages included natural palm wine, brewed beers and liquors, coconut juices and the natural juices of other fruits and nuts. Spices are abundant and highly spiced concoctions are indigenous to the area particularly on the island of Zanzibar which is world reknown. Obviously, the impact of modern technology and commercialization has permeated all the African countries evidenced by the presence of Coca Cola everywhere and the golden arches of McDonald's restaurant in

Nairo bi, Kenya. Nevertheless, it is noted that the diets of our African contemporaries are nutrituous, exhibit variety, and promote favorable hea lth, growth, and development. Moreso than realized, current tastes in cuisine constituting some aspects of "soul food" are merely preferences that have transcended from one continent to another thro ugh the centuries. Contemporary efforts of getting back to the "basics" of wholesome nutrition represents efforts to once again benefit from the hea lthful practices of Afro-American's African fore bearers.

The Miracle of the Church in Africa: Fruit of Western Missions -As seen throu~h the Church of Christ in Zaire Blahop Bokeleale ltofo Bokombanza la president of the Chan:h of Chrlat In Zaire, the aacceaaor to the Congo Proteatant Coandl which la made ap of 8l commanldea, wUb a total membenhlp of 6,000,000. Thia la one of the l■rgeat Proteatant bodlea anywhere In the world. Before Blabop Bokeleale uaamed thla poat In Jaly 1968, be waa chief esecudve of the autonomoaa Congo Dl■dplea chan:b and later became the general ■ecretary of the Congo Proteatant Coundl.

Bishop Bokeleale decided to forego translations, and plunged into his almost one-hour speech in halting English. The important facts which he gave concerning the growth and development of the church in Africa was too exciting to permit "English" to stand in the way. He gave the historical beginning of missions as not commencing with Christianity but with God Himself for "He loved man and sought him to enter into dialogue with him and save him. . . . Thus also Abraham received a mission, and later on Moses. And the living Christ, ... the envoy of God himself, became the missionary par excellence." Because Jesus was this missionary who commanded "Go and make of all nations my disciples," Africa, and particularly Zaire, received western missionaries who heard the Lord's command. The eminent speaker stated, "It is a miracle that Church exists in Africa." He contends that through history ii was always the weak without power who proclaimed the Good News to the powerful, the educated and the rich. It was the westerner who brought us the Gospel. The Missionary came, along

with his brother the coloniser, the merchant, all of whom were considered Christians. He considered his race as superior to that which he came to evangelize. He was materially much richer; he had superior arms. The same westerner, who came to evangelize Africa, was also very shrewd in business; he even brought human beings to sell as slaves and thus became rich. He kept God's Word, the Bible, in his pocket but he strapped a gun to his belt to dominate." Dr. Bokeleale continues, "It is a miracle that the church exists in Africa. The miracle is that in spite of the barriers, God's Word was preached, the Holy Spirit transformed the hearts and lives of Africans, and today ... we have believers, pastors, bishops, theologians." It is no small miracle that the various tenets of Protestantism have now united more than six mUllon Christians within one Church of Christ in Zaire. This kind of unity contributes to the unity of the nation. The speaker believes that the Church was prophetically inspired to vote for unity of the church in 1970, several years before the country was to pass through

the pressures for influence between the great powers. The Zairian government has returned to the churches the responsibility for running the primary and secondary schools. The churches are primarily responsible for providing this kind of education. "The church in Zaire today is also called to contribute ... to the work of imRroving the standard of living of the people. Through numerous projects all over the country in the fields of health, agriculture, animal husbandry, housing and transport and many others." Many questions are thrown out for one's consideration by Bishop Bokeleale. What is the responsibiUty of the western churches in setting up of a new international economic order? Will there be a new and just order influenced by godly men? Are the churches in the West beginning to abandon the church before it is completely implanted? Excerpts from Dr. Itofo Bokambanza Boke/eale, D.D. were reprinted by the permission of Division of Overseas Ministries, Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).

A new foreign policy initiative has been organized by Afro-Americans. The new organization is named Transafrica, and its Intent is to Influence the definition of the US state interest with respect to Africa, the Caribbean and other areas of Black settlement. Transafrica developed from the Black Leadership Conference on Africa (BLCA) called by the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) in September 1976. The conference took place during the annual CBC weekend in Washington. The BLAC included representatives of the NAACP, the Urban League, People United to Save Humanity (PUSH), National Council of Negro Women (NCNW), Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), Opportunities Industrialisation Centres (OIC), Academics, church, labor, business, and fraternal organizations. On December 10, 1977, Transafrica circulated a document entitled "Transafrica Policy Proposals." This document stated that It accepted the basic principles of the BLC document Issued In September. It recommended that the board of directors of Transafrica concentrate on southern Africa and international economic policy as initial activity areas. Of the 21 persons on the board of directors, five represent Black churches or church organizations, two represent the Black print media, two (Including the executive director) are Black Congressional staff members, three are Black academics, three are present or former Black elected officials in local government, three represent Africanist or African support organizations, one represents Black labor, one represents a Black women's organization, and one is a Black official of a major white company. Conspicuously absent are representatives of Black business and Black farmers. The chairman of the board is Mayor Richard Hatcher of Gary, Indiana.

Stork's Nest In Quincy, Fla.

FSU Coeds Intern at Stork's Nest local high schools. Here they come into contact with the problems adolescents face when they become pregnant. The interns work with students in special school sessions and at home. Career changes

All Stork's Nest provide maternity and infant wear to needy women who receive regular prenatal care. But the Stork's Nest in Quincy, Fla., supported by the Big Bend MOD and Tau Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, has added a special dimension. Pregnant teen-agers now find educational and counseling services available through a Stork's Nestsponsored program begun by MOD volunteer Mildred Bradham. Under the direction of Ms. Bradham, professor of social work at Florida State University (FSU), students are assigned to work as interns for one semester in

As a result of their internship experiences this past fall, FSU students Carolyn Brooks and Janine Reed now plan to pursue social work careers concerned with the needs of adolescents. Originally, Ms. Brooks had planned to work with the aged. Now she intends to go on for her master's degree after her graduation this March and specialize in counseling teen-agers. "The internship program was particularly rewarding," says Ms. Brooks. "The information we brought to them was so Important because many of the girls were misinformed about prenatal care. Janine and I both found that we had to break through a lot of superstitions to get the girls to change their attitudes for the health of their babies." Her colleague, Ms. Reed, who will receive her M.S. in social work in June, also will continue to work with teen-agers. "The Stork's Nest internship gave me the opportunity to practice all that I

had learned in the classroom," she says. "At one school I started with four girls and the group grew to ten. The ones who had come spread the word to their classmates. "I introduced the students to various agencies that could help them and I encouraged them to continue their education," she adds. The MOD is particularly concerned about the health hazards for mother and baby in adolescent pregnancy. Mothers 18 and under have the highest rate of any age group of infant death and damage. For Ms. Bradham, this kind of supervised internship program carries out the educational potentials of a Stork's Nest. A past president of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, the national business and professional women's organization that cosponsors the project with the MOD, she helped design the volunteer service and health education program. A basic goal is developing community awareness about the importance of maternal and infant health care, and where these services are available. Ms. Bradham also is a member of the national training team of the NF Task Force on Maternal and Newborn Health.

Henderson Honored Dayton Stork's Nest organizer Mary Henderson has had a feather added to her cap of honors. Recently, Mrs. Henderson was named one of the Ten Top Women of 1977 by the Dayton Daily News. An MOD volunteer since 1964, Mrs. Henderson serves on the executive board of the Miami Valley St ~

(Ohio) Chapter in addition to being chairman of the Stork's Nest layette incentive project. A community activist, Mrs. Henderson founded the Westwood Teen-age Council, a program which aims to bridge the gap between young people and adults.

The program began promptly at 2:00 p.m. Bailieus Althea Gibbs gave the opening address to the well wishers. Visiting National Stork's Nest chairman Soror Hazel Simmons from Fortworth, Texas presented the Stork's Nest with the first item, a mini layette which consisted of twelve cloth diapers, two infant shirts, gowns, and receiving blankets. Soror Simmons stated, that each mother would receive a mini layette but must be referred by the University of Nebraska OB clinic. This is one way the mother would be sure that she is receiving good prenatal care and a healthy baby would be brought into the world, free of birth defects. Stork's Nest is a Zeta Phi Beta Sorority incorp. national project and was adapted as a national project in 1971. The National Foundation of the March of Dimes worked along with the sorority in assisting with the project in

Mrs. Joan Wentz, Southeast Regional Director of the Volunteers, from Lincoln, NE and Mr. Bob Seltzer, Chapter Chairman from Southeast Region of March of Dimes, presented the sorority with a check for the Stork's Nest operation. Also, Mrs. Karen Riddle, President of the Junior Auxiliary of the Union Pacific Jolly Timers, presented the Stork's Nest with cribs, clothes, blankets, bottles, etc.

Epsilon Zeta Zeta Chapter Opens Stork's Nest Pine Bluff, Ark. Epsilon Zeta Zeta Chapter held its dedication ceremony on Sunday, Oct. 30 1977 in Pine Bluff, Ark. The Stork's Nest will be open on December 3, 1977 from 10: 00 a. m. until 12:00 noon. The center will open each Saturday there after from 10:00-12:00. Three national sorority officers attended the dedication ceremony. They were soror Hazel Simmons, National Stork's Nest Director; Sor or Luellelia Harrison, Project Coordinator; and National Trustee Alice Mays, Little

Rock, Ark. Mrs. Marie Lafferty, March of Dimes Chapter Executive for Southeast Arkansas was a special guest, and the Stork's Nest site was dedicated by the Honorable Major Charles Moore. The dedication of our Stork's Nest was very impressive to the citizens of Pine Bluff. The chapter received television and full newspaper coverage. Local committee members are Sorors Mary Bullock, Chairperson; Thelma Cook; Theresa N. Wilhite; Lula Gray and Helen Emerson.

Midwest Regional Director, Soror Elece Dempsey, from St. Louis, presented the Stork's Nest with a sign that denoted the place and carries the March of Dimes emblem. Not only were the Zeta busy with their grand opening, but they also made their Finer Women's Day at Calvin Presbyterian Church. Refreshments were served by the host, Amicae Auxiliary of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Incorporated

Alpha Kappa Zeta AKZ's "Stork's Nest" is launching an EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT. A Resource Center is planned that will provide selected reading materials and schedule conferences with clinic social workers and nurses. Long range plans include provision of items that can be purchased by patient-customers and other prenatal clinic patients at minimal cost. Capital Area Chapter and Volunteer Services, Austin-Travis County Health Department are cooperating with AKZ in a fine way. Committee members of Stork's Nest are Sorors J. Kirven, J. Jackson, S. Nichols, J. Scales, Y. Turner, Co-Chair and Marie Gilbert, Chair.

Stork's Nest Stork's Nest Program Opens Shop for the Needy Proper prenatal care and adequate warm clothing are some expensive necessities for bringing a newborn baby into the world. Two Pine Bluff groups formed an alliance Tuesday to ensure that low-income families in Jefferson County can obtain these necessities for expectant mothers. The March of Dimes chapter and the Zeta Phi Beta sorority opened an office in The Old Train Station at Fourth and State Street. Items for the home will be stored there and distributed to needy families. Both organizations have a history of assistance to the disadvantaged, especially answering the needs of

children. The March of Dimes is primarily involved with the prevention of birth defects. The Zeta Phi Beta sorority has adopted the Stork's Nest program as its national project. The 44 members of the local Epsilon Zeta chapter held a tea Saturday, December 3, collecting

clothing and other contributions as the price of admission. To obtain items free or at reduced prices, persons must be referred to the Stork's Nest by a physician, the Health Department, the Community Services Administration or the Arkansas Department of Human Services.

Teens learn parenting responsibilities: Egg experiment a success I am uery small and fragile, much like an infant I haue no means to care for myself so I ask you to care for me. My needs are simple. I need to be protected from dangers. I must be kept warm but not too warm. I need a safe place to liue so I won't be broken. I need to be watched carefully so I don't hurt myself. Finally, I need to be /oued. I hope you will be the kind of person who is able to giue me all the things I need, because if just one need is forgotten; my success may turn to failure. This assignment along with an egg was given to the 16 students in the Child Development class at Van Wert High School in Van Wert, Ohio.

of MANAGERS MEETS The Board of Managers met February 11-12, 1978, at the Zeta Phi Beta National Headquarters. The primary purpose of the meeting was to make plans for developing the foundation so that it may function more effectively. In 1974, at the Philadelphia Boule, the sorority voted to create the Foundation. It was at this meeting that the first monies were collected, and It was the desire of the body that chapter and individual gifts would be of the magnitude that would warrant a sizeable increase in our granting of scholarships and fellowships. The purposes of this Foundation are contained in the Trust Agreement establishing this Foundation. To carry out the purpose of the Foundation, it shall: a. Encourage among its members and the community the continuation of education in institutions of higher learning and promote the attainment of scholastic excellence, both in public schools and in higher education; b. Provide scholarship grants to worthy students for the pursuit of higher education; c. Conduct community educational programs which will aid in the educational and vocational improvement in individual and community living standards;

h. Engage In any appropriate research related to the purposes of the Foundation. In keeping with these goals there are several scholarships and fellowships available to working sorors. The number of recipients could be greatly increased if more funds were available. At present there are three special named graduate fellowships: Nancy B. Woolridge for Professional Study, Deborah Partridge Wolfe, International Fellowship, and Mildred Cater Bradham, Fellowship in Social Work. We are attempting to set up a fourth named grant honoring our late founder, Soror Pearl Neal. Besides scholarships and fellowships, the Foundation made plans to solicit funds from Foundation and government sources. Project proposals are being developed in an attempt to meet the criteria set up by the department of Labor through its CETA progra.m ( especially through the Women's Bureau) and the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. There are four standing committees of the Foundation: Finance and Development, Soror Luellelia Harrison; Scholarships, Fellowships, and Awards, Soror Isabel Herson; Research and Projects, Soror Mildred Bradham; Bylaws, Soror Izzie L. Jenkins. Other members of the Board of Managers are: Soror S. Evelyn Lewis, Brooklyn, New York Soror Marjorie Ellis, Los Angeles, California Soror Frances A Hathorne, Holly Springs, Mississippi Soror Deborah P. Wolfe, Chairperson, Board of Managers

d. Engage in and promote studies and research in education and related matters; e. Sponsor or support educational and related programs, conferences and seminars relating to problems of contemporary society, and provide for the dissemination of knowledge obtained from such programs, conferences and seminars; f. Cooperate with other persons, organizations, trusts, funds, or foundations whose purposes and activities are similar to those of the Educational Foundation; g.
