WOMEN'S ROLE IN THE GREAT SOCIETY By Mildred Cater Boone
The scientific and technological revolution and the winds of freedom that are sweeping across the land have stepped up the pace of economic and social change, which has deeply affected the traditional role of women. In the United States and throughout the world the pattern of women's lives is being affected in special ways by the forces of social change. Women are being challenged to fulrm multiple roles, a fact which requires the re-examination of opportunities which exist for their training and education. As wives and mothers, women continue to be the center of the ho me, the foundation of family life. At the same 'time, urgent social problems increasingly demand participation by women in civic and political life. The rapid tempo of economic development makes imperative a more effective use of woman power. The need is to equip women for their new role so they can make their full contribution to the progress of their countries and the peace of the world. Our organization, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, constitutes an indespensable resource for the accomplishment of this objective. This is a good time to be alive: Let us look briefly at the picture of happiness and explore the contents. We have working projects, useful resources: Out T.V. takes us anywhere we wish to go; we can travel around the world four or five times a day, rendezvous in space and go under the water to explore building cities and have breakfast and dinner in the same house the same day. We are talking about making human beings. Science can almost replace any part of the body and an individual can continue a "normal life" with care in most instances. We can freeze a body before death, and experiments on animals indicate years later the animal will return to life; we have several cars, a city and country home and a boat or small plane awaiting a pleasure trip; we can take pills or some forms of powder and have a meal; the stove will cut on and off while we are away from home and the meal is ready while the wife is out of the home; buttons have caused the kitchen lo be a living room - and for the single girl the computer will select your husband and plan your marriage if you will only write a letter. In spite of the above assessments which causes much happiness, we cannot overlook being a part of the policymaking and service giving of our country. Let us peek at the rccommitment to human values and to basic principles of our democracy which allow us to appersonal activity into the community and you will realize should we-be practical and .reQa-11 in our personal lives certain chores that have to be carried on daily. No woman leaves her dishes in th sink for several days.

President Johnson' address at Howard University June 4, 1965, indicated the Negro Unemployment rate is twice as high today as against 35 years ago when the rate was the same for Negroes and White. Other studies show that u the Negroes have better education they sufferless from unemployment. With the rate of education attainment greater for the Negro male worker - the white worker remainded the same during the past 5 years. However, the non-white unemployment rate remains double that of whites, "despite the booming conditions in our economy."

For 1964 the earnings average of the non-white is about half that of white workers. Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz states: "There is a continuing lag, and it is getting worse." The Negro worker continues to be the lower paid more underemployed and unemployed. He had improved in education more so than the white, but the job and income is not moving along with the education. JUVENILE: We see the juvenile today as a threat to society. He is your and my young adl.Mtoftomorrow.Multiplythe HOSTILITY of each year that He has to endure handicaps and you will have a real blown up "war on society" that will take a miracle to solve.

INTO A NEW DECADE From THE DESK OF YOUR FIRST ANTI BASILEUS Soror Jsabel M. Herson
''
Where do we go from here? We nd forty-five years of glamorous growth, dedicated ervice, joys, sorrows, setbacks and accomplishments. We step over into a new beginning with more than two hundred fifty chapters, five thousand sorors, an appreciable amount of finance, National headquarters-our very own-a National Shrine, a glorious history, and a future that is bright, and ours to use. Where then, do we go from here? We go into a new decade that is characterized by the term "Great Society" a society which places emphasis on such sayings as freedom for all, anti-poverty, voters registration, civil rights, job opportunities. Into the very heart of these, Zeta must take her place and strongly work toward implementation. This we must do. This we will do. The National project as voted by the 1965 Boule in New York City is indicative of one hundred per cent support of this. "Welfare, Education and Health Services," as our project is now known, is in keeping with the pirit of our great society and of the vision or the President of the United States. It is through this medium that Zetas, all, can volunteer services unselfishly to help bring about a better world in which to live. The challenge is ours, To meet it, we must work "selflessly." Forgetting self is important to the success of the total program of any organization. W:! must be courageous, prepa red, persuasive and even humble if we are t hold our own among the leaders of our soci ty, for truly th se arc

qualities of leadership. We go into this new decade with a pledge of loyalty, cooperation, and support lo the new administration who must now take the reins and, at the helm, steer Zeta through paths unknown, but through paths that will show marks of contributions stamped indelibly by the impact of s irv ices extended by Zeta women everywhere. Ou rs is the g realest of sisterhoods. We make it so, be cause we are bound together by the ideals of sisterly lov« and finer womanhood. May we never let anyone, a nythiru; or any act change that. As now I write, there comes before me very vividly the pldure of Zetas-more than five hundred strong-who filled the great Grand Ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria, New York City during our recent Boule. There we were circles within circles, within circles, and hand in hand. I could feel the tingle in my body as r beheld that scene, for never have I seen anything more beautiful. There I stood with a feeling of love in my heart for every single soror there and proud, but humble, lo have the prlvlleg of b ing identified with such a group of women. The same oro rs, only ten times as strong, will mar ·h right into this new decade with all the power, the competcncles, the knowledge, the strength, the ability, th contact, the talent that is needed to do things in a C:reat Society by a Creal Org nization. May God grant us this opportunlly.

MINORITY GROUP EDUCATION By IDA B. KING National Chairman Executive Board, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority
On ll-::: doctr lne of Vested High ts in the f.9rmer sense, a man's land, or nis merchandise, or his money is called his p~oper_tY,. ll~t, in the latter sense, a· man has property in his oprruon m his or her dignity of human worth. The individual then has equal property in the free use of one's faculties, and free choice of the objects on which to employ them. In American Constitutional Law, the contract clause and state power, a man is sa~d to have a right to his property; but, he may be equally satd tohavea property in his rights. The fun~a~ental principles of republican government is that the majority who rule in such government are the safe guardians both of public good and private rights. There is a moral obligation in a republican system of government ~ be it a~plied to Covernrnent statutes, or to any OrganizaIion, natwnal, state, or local. While th rights of property are sacredly guarded, we must not forget that the various communities of the Nation, the State of Local sites or Organiza(ions also ha~~ rights, and that the happin ess and well-being of every citizen depends on their faithful preservation. The power of executive government be it political, or social is a TRUST, committed by those who place one in that functioning position, to the government - no part of which can be granted away. In a Government like ours, Comstock observed theories of the public good or public necessity may be so plausible, or even so truthful, as lo command popular majorities. But whether truthful or plausible, and by whatever numbers they arc assented to, there arc some absolute private rights beyond their reach, and among thesethcCONST!TUTION or Tl I I<: lJ l'l'Jm STATES OF AM 1-:ll lCA places the right of property. . _As a pro~ri_ety in the vested property right of being a citizen, a privilege becomes a particular and peculiar benefit or advantageenjoyed by a person, a corporation, a company, an organization, or a class beyond the common advantages. of other citizens. Such advances an exceptional oi· extraordinary p_ower or exemption. Therefore such privileges become a right, a power, a franchise, or immunity h ild by a person, or class against or beyond the course of the law - example freedom of opinion. (Waterloo Water (o., v. Village of Waterloo, 193 NYS 360,362,200. Al'!'. llis. 718) Social conflict occurs when a relationship between individuals, or groups becomes mutually destructive. In a more broadened sense according to Lasswell, "Social Conflict results from the conscious pursuit or exclusive values." ConOict may be conscious compctitlon, or the competitors can become s:lf rivals, opp_onents or in fact enemies. Not only can conflict be war, nots, lynchings, insurrections, antl pogroms; but also the relatively peaceful activities as ridicule, laughter, strikes, picketing and boycotl!ng. Confltct among racial groups is no! limited to violence and militant ad Ions. '!'here urc typ s of subtle weapons to whi~h oppres cd people resort.

writers; painters, sculptors; composers, vocalists, musicians; oratory, organizations and other professions or occupations. Litigation - the privilege of fighting for justice in the courts of law is another means of a conflict weapon. However, the ballot is among the most powerful weapons in interracial conflict. The desire for economic gain, adventure, religious devotion, love of freedom, higher education, and sometimes selfish or altruistic motives may be the factor for bringing people together. All possible behavior patterns include the variety of human experiences which behavior pattern may be unpredictable, capricious, vicious, and irrational. Attitudes of people range in extremes from curiosity and hosp ital ity to the bitterest hostility. A minority does not refer to numbers; a minority people may be a majority; and a majority people may be a minority. In the due course of human events, the socio-economic world in which we move has proffered socio-political con0~cts which too frequently result in intergroup and individual confrontation - one against the other - over conflicting views in religion, race, housing, employment, education and recreation for the minorities. The thinking of man introduces ideas which bring about the concept of role and role interaction which become the key position in the socialization of the person. A person's own roles may conflict with one another and produce disturbances in the personality . There are two major distinguishable attitudes or orientations of personality as stated by Carl Gustav Jung, extraversion, and the attitude of interversion. The extraverted altitude orients the person toward the outer world !he external, objective world. The introverted attitude orient the person toward the inner, or subjective world. The individual functions through thinking, feeling, sensing, and intuiting. The feeling is a value function; sensing the perceptual reality because it yields concrete facts or representations of the world. The inituition or intuitive of man goes beyond facts, feelings and ideas. Situationism requires the human being response to whatever situation exist that demand them to respond. Usually these people will take on the situation-- role according to the attributes which the situation, or situations call for. Therefore, changing situations bring about changing' roles. Education has been, and still is the focal point around w~ch social action groups have centered torpedo pivotal spirals through the channels of law, which United States court systems have been the instrument for reform reactionary action in the administration of the educational processes. l{cf.

MY YEARS OF S Ten and one years ago your humble servant took hold of the reins of a dream which had blossomed into Zeta Phi Beat Sorority and began to build upon the work of not only our five founders but of the 13 grand basileu who had gone before her. Now I present an account of how I have nurtured the trust which you have given to me. I, unlike any other Grand Basileus in the history of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority have the pleasure and responsibility to make a report for an eleventh year. In 1954, when you elected me to this high office I promised to do everything that I could for the welfare of organization. This is what I have attempted to do during these historic years in Zeta's development. As titular head of the sorority, I have been responsible for coordinating all of the activities of the entire organization. There have been many accomplishments during these eleven years. Let me emphasize the major achlevements: I. Purchase of National Headquarters In our 35th anniversary Boule in Washington, D.C. in 1955 we voted to buy a National Headquarters in Washington, D.C. In January 1956, a chairman of the Building Fund was appointed and a financial campaign was launched. At the 1959 Boule in San Francisco, ii was agreed that a building be purchased in Washington before December 1960 so that there might be a 40th Anniversary celebration at the headquarters at that time. After months of diligent searching a suitable building was located and approved by the Executive Board. On June 7, 1960 the property was purchased. Our new National Headquarters, located at 1734 New Hampshire Avenue, Washington, D.C., is red brick, decorated with gray stone. It has three stories and a basement. The first floor contains app ro xi mately 5,000 feet of useable space, including an entrance vestibule, a double staircase with a mezzanine balcony overlooking the master ballroom, two large parlors, two nreplaces, a powder room, large dining room and a large sun parlor. 'I'nefloors are parquet. The cond floor conststs of a library or conference room (25 feet by 18 feet) and five other large rooms. There are also two halls and two and a half bathrooms. The third floor contains ten bedrooms, one storage room, two hall and two and a half bathroom . A complete massive recreation room, kitchen, a powder room, men's lounge and several torage rooms make up the basement. Other features include: a rathskeller
PAGE TEN
room and a patio leading from the recreation room, a four car garage, iron door, lot containing 6,000 square feet (50' by 120') and two large parking lots close by. It is accessible to the entire city. In evaluating the property, our sorority attorney wrote the following: "On the basis of current construction costs in this area, this building could not be built under $150,000.00 with its present appointments." And so at a cost $79,128.24 the National Headquarters was purchased. Land is valued al $28,063, furniture and fixtures at $11.735.39 and office furniture and equipment al $2,411.18. In addition, nearly $30,000.00 was spent m renovating the headquarters by installing all copper plumbing and new electrical wiring and fixtures, repairing the entire s1 -ucture and redesigning it, painting interior and restoring exterior by sandblasting, installing tile for all bathrooms and lounges and complete redecorating. Slnce that time, further improvements have been made by putting on a new roof, waterproofing exterior surface, painting rear exterior of building (this was omitted originally), replacing the wooden fence with an anchor fence, building storage room, installing air conditioning in the office and conference rooms. At this point, it is important to note that practically all furniture and equipment was donated by regions, chapters or individual members of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority. Our National Headquarters truly belongs to every Zeta. Believing that it is "the call of the duck that compels others to follow," I not only gave the first $100.00 for the building lund but comributed the furniture for one of the bedrooms. Because of the location and care of the facilities, we have received three serious offers of $225,000.00 or more for our valuable properly. Al the 1965 Boule, less than five years after we dedicated our alional Headquarters, we have burnedthemortgage. My sincere thanks goes lo you for your faithful cooperation in making th is dream a reality. IL Financial Growth We could not talk about our great accomplishment of purchasing our National Headquarters wllho ur recognizing that this tremendous achievement was merely a part ofa large flnancial growth, In 1954, when l was elected lo guide the "Good Ship Zeta," the total receipts averaged less than $25,000 yearly. Yet in the ten years which have followed we have collected a sum of $.532, 74 7. 35 or
an average of $35,000.00 annually for general and scholarship funds alone. Let us look at the record: INCOME FOR 1955-1965 1955 $35,286.20 1956.................................. 26,326.34 1957.................................. 59,876.33 1958.................................. 34,370.77 1959.................................. 38,582.66 1960.... 44,560.52 1961................................... 85,388.61 1962................................... 57,130.35 1963... . .. 43,073.88 (Jan. to June) July 1963-June 1964.... 53,172.72 June 1964-June 1965 54,975.97 $532,747. 35** It is important lo note that in addition to these funds, (90,852,92 have been collected through the Housing Fund since 1957 when a building fund was created.

TEWARDSHIP Bv Dr. Deborah Partridge Wolfe, Ph.D. of 1h0 sorority but also she would have to supervise the housing and social acuvities of rho National Headquarters. Al the last Boule we requested a full lime Clerk-Secretary in order to facilitate the manifold activities. It seems now that we shall also need a l'ul time Housekeeper who can serve as hostess and supervise the living quarters. Such a person may also help in clerical jobs when there is an excessive amount of work to be done. Such additional help will mean much lo the total functioning or the National Headquarters. V. Regionals and other Visitations In meeting my obligation lo watch over Zeta and its growth where ven it exists, I have an exciting story to tell. For the f'irst lime in Zeta's history, the Grand Basileus has visited every region- even West Africa. VI. Chapter and Sorority Growth The sorority has continued to grow. During the period 1963-1965, 386 new sorors were initiated, 300 of whom were undergraduates. There w~re le:i, n_ew chapters granted charters, lour of which were undergraduate. One of my greatest joys came when I initialed the world famous Grace Bumbry. In regards to scholarships, 49s'?rors have received $20,940.00 from N atio nal funds for graduate study. During 19631965 alone, $8,000 was thus awarded. This docs not include the thousands of doJlars given prospecliv zetas_ and sorors by local chapters and regions. Jn 1954 when I assumed responsibility for leadership of th is great sorority we had only 50 life members. Today there arc 236. It was my rocomrncndation that past grand basilei be giv_cn life membership. I am happy that this rcco_mmcndation was accepted by the Executive 13oard and Body. Vil.

VI I I. Publications Throughout my entire eleven years
I have recognized the importance of good communication. To this end many kinds of materials have been distributed.

Already many of the major documents controlling Zeta's life have been revised. In 1961 we adopted the New Constitution which has since been published and distributed. In 1963 the Zeta Song Book was published with wide acceptance and use. In 1956, the first Handbook for Boule Planning was developed. This has served immeasurably in the execution of plans for the 1957, 1959, 1961. 1963 and 1965 Boules. In 1957, the first Workshop for Regional Directors was held at Tuskegee Institute. As a result of this inspiring experience, the first Handbook for Appointed Officers was develo~e_d. This is not included in the 1965 edition of the Handbook. In 1959, the first Handbook for Amicae was published. This, too, is included in the Handbook. At the 1963 Boule the fifth revised edition of the Zeta Handbook was adopted. This edition which I wrote is now ready for distribution. Iam sure you will be happy to have this important document and I am grateful that the physical appearance makes it a most attractive book. .

Public School System, Mrs. mith gave a short sketch of her outstanding career from her appointment in 1915 as teacher, to her promotion as Assi tant Superintendant. She then presented Miss Lyons with silverware from the Sorority and a personal gift from herself. The pre entations brought forth a warm and tender response from Miss Lyons. At this point a poem composed in her honor by Mrs. .Icnnie Gross, a Zeta, was read and presented to her. Sharing the spotlight with Miss Lyons was Dr. Irene C. Hypps, Educational Consultant specialist for the United Planning Organization, who was the guest speaker of the occasion. In accordance with the theme, "Women in the Great Society," Dr. Hypps pointed out that many of our women today hold posi-
tions of prominence and influence in sharp contrast to many womenofforeign lands. She further stated that with these positions also goes great responsibility - that of helping the far too many unemployed and unemployable women, of providing good teachers and a stimulating atmosphere for the hords of underprivileged children now waiting to be educated and meet th e challenge of the woman of today to be a breadwinner, a homemaker, and a charming companion. Dr. Hypps was presented by Mrs. Sarah P. Newton, Past President of Beta Zeta. Two scholarships were given by the Sorority, one to Miss Lillian Hobson of Howard University, and the other to Miss Anna W. Brown of D. C. Teachers College. Awards were given lo Miss Simms for promotion on her job; to Miss Josic Meeks for her Masters Degree from George Washington University; lo Mrs. Sarah Newton for her splendid work as President of Beta Zeta; and to Miss Beatrice Catlett for 25 years service as Ch airman of the Social Com mittec.

Powell, President of the Elementary Sp cial Aubjects Association; and lo Miss Ruth Howell, a recipient of a foreign scholar-
ship to study the education in Norway.

NEW PROJECT Dy Emily Turner, Project Director
OFFICIAL PIANNERS FOR ZETA'S NEW PROJECT
have accepted the re ·ponsibility of working as director of our national project with deep humility, but at the same time with a firm conviction that each of you would support and work with this office as well as with your chapters tu develop and continue the kind of activities which we visioned at our recent Houle. \11.,'c have been in conference with our Grand Basileus, attended a workshop at our national headquarters, and attended other conferences related to government projects under the Anti-Poverty Program to develop a greater preception and deeper concept of our possibilities for a higher standard of performance. In keeping with our acceptance of\\' Ell Sas our national project, there are many possibilities for each community. I do trust that you will study your chapter resources, time available facilities and volunteers and where you have not already launched out into the deep, begin immediately to make plans and take action. Our focus for 1965-66 under this special projects is "Curbing -Juvenile l)eliquency through Parent-Training Programs" as a part of Family Life Education. We arc fully aware that there are quite a few programs in operation which are aimed toward working with the young child, teenagers and young adults, but there seems to belittle attention given to the average mother in the home. It is our firm belief that if some work is done with the mothers it will strengthen family life in general. In an effort to coordinate the many activities of our chapters it is necessary for ca-ch of us to concentrate and plan in keeping with our point of emphasis ( Point Seven, Fall Issue Zeta Phi Beta ;-.,;ewsletter, page a). This we must do if we are to truly have a national project which is in keeping with current trends, and if we arc to qualify for any federal ass! ·tance. l'lease plan a continuous and systematic program lor ai least a twelve month period. This can be in the form of research and/ or demonstration and be designed to aid the deprived to help themselvc . Each chapter in every locale is urged to strive to carry out this program monthly or weekly as the ne cl and interest indicate.
PAGE THIRTY
If there is an activity of this nature already in operation, chapter members are requested to involve themselves with this or maybe finding out if there is a need or possibility for an additional group maybe in another section of the community; thi also is to be reported to the regional and national project director. This we believe will strengthen our efforts to be able to say "Zetas Are Cooperating With l'rograms of This Nature." Some possibilities for implementing our projects arc listed for your consideration: Month 1. .. Program involving homemaker services. Month 2 ... Discussion of l'ar cnt-t 'hlld rclut ions, may use movies stimulating clinical experience with children and parents or panelist with group discussion. Month 3 ...

Ways of implementing the project- Social
The important thing lo remember about the program is that a general goal has been set by the group under your guidance, and we may only propose suggestions, when one group is started they decide the pace and select what suits their needs. When or if they exaust fell needs we are available lo spur them to further action. How to identiJy groups: 1. Welfare recipients, other suggestions from Department of public assistance. 2. Anti- Poverty list, where available. 3. Housing development. 4. Church groups. 5. Block or Neighborhood. Should attempt to work with groupsof12to 15 mothers. The center should be in U1e area where the people reside- a church, a school, private home or a community center. Since we are working to elevate Urn standards of the people in that particular area, we should meet tile people where they arc. We urge you lo p ul forth a special effort during Finer Womanhood Week to sponsor al least one activity which involves our national project. As we attempt to gain momentum it is necessary for us to be able lo present a unified picture composed or activities from most of our chapters. Reports have lo be made, we may need lo notify local communiy action program services of our local so ro rs involvement, we need lo organize our procedure as to means or communicating with each other and proper channels for smooth operation. Therefore, please send me a copy of your plan making sure lo include the following: 1. Frequency of meetings 2. The people who will be involved ( Income of $3,000 or less per family per year) 3. The approximate number of people you expect lo involve 4. Do you have one group or more? 5. I low do you plan lo involve the entire group in planning and executing? fi. The number or persons in your chapter who will be
giving volunteer service. 7. Othersinthecommunitywhomyouexpectto draw on as resources (Ministers, Doctors, Welfare Agencies Personnel, Teachers) 8. The approximate number of hours of volunteer sen-ices your group will be giving monthly. 9. Would you like to have someofthe women tell others how you have succeeded? (Maybe at your regional meeting). Each region has a designated soror who works with the Regional Director and Program. This sorer is being asked to notify me of all regional activities and keep the chapters in the region active. We ask each chapter to list one local soror coordinating chapter projects, address and phone numbers, The regional representatives are as follows: Sedalia Gaines Atlanta Region 2131 Master Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Great Lakes Region Marie Clifton 3304 John Daly Inkster, Michigan South Central Region Annie Naylor 607 East McLemore Memphis, Tennessee Southern Region Lucille McGaughey 2502 Park Row Street Dallas, Texas South Eastern Region Ruth Polite 16101 N.W. 19 Ave. Opa Locka, Fla.

Reference 1 - National Urban League Report, Facts on the Many Faces of Poverty, 1965. Reference 2 - Ibid Study indicates 70% of the crime falls in this age group. Some communities have equal distribution (other things being equal) of delinquency as for White and Negro youths. EDUCATION: Education today must mean a job. It cannot mean "Culture" in the sense of the past. Young people just do not see it that way. "Give me food and I may enjoy culture." Give me decent housing; give me a job; give me my equal rights and may be I will act like a civilized individual. Why do I have to reward you before you reward me." The dropout rate for non-whites is twice that of whites increasing the unemployment rates. Even with the same education as whites and the same occupation, information from the Urban League Report indicates non-whites earn less. However, the Federal Government jobs are stepped up for Negroes in the (middle and upper grades of Civil Service. We have got to sell the package of education and training as a part of slmmerlng down the highly charged systems of these very unhappy citizens because when they suffer, we will also. H is hard to _separate the feeling and give the classical answer off" I am glad I do not live there" or "l am glad l am not in that," or "I am glad I left that city." We are in majority of the cases one step beyond. And many have memories· of having suffered the same handicaps but wish to close that chapter of past memories. Health and Welfare: Because of a lack of knowledge, again poor housing, difficult employment, inadequate health facilities -· our life expectancy is more limited than the whites, for men and women. Our children die earlier, and certain conditions contribute to mental retardation almost double that for our race - than the white. There is a higher rate of separations, divorces, illegitimacies and many other handicaps that cause the breakdown of family life. We need not talk about our AGED living in poverty barely existing, many alone and disadvantaged and unable to know manv of the services that might be available to them. Their lives have been ful I of internal pressures from external environmental forces during their youth, but they had to hold back. The psychological effect alone can practically destroy an individual. We can certainly see that they wish to sit in solitude. The stress has been to heavy to carry.
IN HOUSING: We are faced with problems that cannot be settled by lectu r s. There must be actions. The individuals in high authority will have to enforce the already existing laws.
THE ARCHON - APRIL, 1966
He can also look at the bank accounts, loans, purchases at department stores, etc. They will tell exactly what is going on with the Negro family if given a chance. Given the opportunity, more change will take place. We have covered many points of statistics and some di' .rections for thought. They reveal a challenging problem. yet, we can be encouraged only to the extent that one becomes INVOLVED. There are many forces at work today which can be drawn upon for help. Grants for education, Headstart, youth projects and vocational projects; the Civil Rights Act; and many action committees ... This is a great step forward. Laws will not win this battle alone. There is much to be done in changing attitudes within our bodies as well as in others. Wemustwork towards bringing laws requiring conformity of behavior and attitude together with law and persuasion. We must and will conquer. Today is the time that volunteers are challenged to put their teeth in a service of action. Training is needed and there is the problem of selecting persons to serve in various places. How? What tools are necessary? What methods are used to stimulate individuals? Programming is necessary and leaders are at a premium. The volunteer must also receive some self-gratification. Involvement of people who believe in a program is the "Door." The grass root level is the "key". Women of the Great Society will have to learn how to put these words together other than on paper. To those who are too meek or shy to ask individuals to serve when help is needed - may I refer you to Mary McLeod Bethune's words Some years ago when she started the Daytona Educational and Industrial Training School Ior Negro Girls, cost 50¢ each. She said, "I am going to teach girls crafts and homemaking." She said they needed to be taught to earn a living; trained to use their heads to think, hands to work and hearts to have faith. When people refused to help her move toward the goals she dreamed of and refused her many times - Mrs. Bethune would thank them for their time, no matter how deep her hurt. She "refused to be dis ] couraged for neither God nor man can use a discouraged person."3 President Johnson said in his commencement address at Howard Universtty, June 1965 ... "Thirty years from now Americans will look back upon these 1960's as the time of great American breakthrough toward the victory of peace over war; toward victory of peace over war; toward victory of prosperity over poverty; toward the victory of human rights over human wrongs; toward the victory of enlightened minds over darkness." Women of today possess the light that; can do much to rekindle our faith in he human race. WILL YOU BE AMONG THE FEW WHO CAN BEAR 30 YEARS (OR EVEN 5 YEARS) IN RETROSPECTTOSEEWHATYOU HAVE DONE?

THIRTY-FIVE
My Years of Stewardship In October, 1964 I wrote to members of the Executive Board seeking approval for Zeta's affiliation with CARE. In the October 8 Bulletin I outlined in greater detail some of the advantages of such a relationship, calling attention to the fact that CARE ( Cooperative for American Relief Everywhere, Inc.) was a non-profit agency for voluntary assistance to needy people in other lands. It is register d by the Advisory Committee on Voluntary Foreign Aid of the Agency for Internal Development, U.S. Department of State. CARE currently operates in the following- African nalions: Algeria, Liberia, Nigeria, Egypt, Libya, Sierra Leone, and Tunisia. Since our West African Regional Director and our only chapters are organized in Liberia, it seemed reasonable to investigate with Soror Henries and the CARE representative in Liberia what might be the best and most needy Zeta project. Since many of our members are teachers and all of us are education-oriented, it seemed wise to adopt a school equipment project. However, since full approval could not be given until the Board met, we left it up to the chapter to determine how each would implement the African project. However, in July 1964 the Board gave its approval. A chairman was appointed to direct the activity. Since that time a brochure was developed and nearly $1,000 has been sent for this purpose. X ..Junior College Membership According to our Constitution, Article V, Section 2 and 3, undergraduate chapters (both college and metropolitan) are composed of" currently matriculated undergraduates". And again according to Article II, Section 2 of the By-Laws, undergraduate members "shall be regularly matriculated students in accredited colleges, pursuing courses leading to a Baccalaureate degree". We have traditionally interpreted these passages to exclude students in .Junior or Community Colleges. However, upon a reexamination of this matter during the Pacific Regional when the question was again raised, the atio nal Phylacter agreed that the present language of the Constitution and By-Laws was suffi-cienUy flexible to include students from such institutions IF they were pursuing
Concluded
courses leading to a baccalaureate degree. Since the number of' Junior colleges is growing throughout the country, since our brothers of Phi Beta Sigma accept students from such institutions, and since we nave experienced such great losses in membership due to our strict interpretation, was approved upon my recommendation by the Executive Board in its July 1964 meeting. XI. Amicae Affairs It is truly gratlfying to note the growth of Amicae. They have demonstrated their value to us and we are proud to have friends for Zeta. Within the last two years, 10 new groups have been formed. The Arnicae have contributed generously to the National Headquarters and have participated in local and regional activities. They have been a great asset. XII. Zeta Tours In 1959, we inaugurated the concept of the importance of Zeta travelling together. As a result 110 Zetas, their friends and families, new together to Hawaii. There we shared in the celebration of the Statehood 'of that beautiful slate. It was the fir t time that I lawaii had welcomed as many American egroes and they spared no pains in seeing that we were happy. So satisfactory was our experience that we planned an African tour for 1963. Even though the distance was much greater, 35 Zetas ventured torth to visit 11 countries in 3 continents and visit with their sorors in Liberia. Again voyagers shouted praise and asked that yet another trip be planned. Thus, following the 1965 Boule, Zetas traveled again. This time the continent of emphasis was Europe. It is a sign of truly educated persons that Zetas, who arc called trained women, should want to continue their education through travel. XI r I.
Relations with Founders, Past Grand Officers and Hrothers. It has been my o ni ecuve to develop and maintain close relations with our Founders, past grand officers and brothers. l sincerely believe that the success of any organization depends upon its continuity and full utilization of human
resources. Therefore, I have done everything within my power to seek the full. cooperation of all who have preceded me m office. I am happy that all live founders were present December 1960 at our 40th Anniversary when we dedicated our National Headquarters and I am even happier that they were present 5 years later to witness the burning of the mortgage and celebration of our 45th Anniversary. I am happy loo, that I could include on the program all past grand basilei in a very meaningful and purposeful way. It is good that I can report my attendance at our brothers, Phi Beta Sigma Conclave. I spoke for them at one of their meetings. We long lo continue our fellowship as we have in the past. XV. Underg ratuate Council In 1955, and Undergraduate Council with representatives from every region was formed. It was my hope that such a council would stimulate undergraduate activities and provide a means through which u nderg raduatcs could exchange ideas. I hope that this idea wiJI be given continued nourishment. XVI. Honorary Members The 1965 Board and Boule added three distinguished women lo ourroster, of National Honorary members: Mrs. Elizabeth Koontz, National President, Classroom Teachers' Association of th NJ;;A 1965-66; U.S. Congresswoman Florene Dwyer, 6tl1 District of New Jersey; and Dr. Mary Cannon McLean, Specialist, Education of the Exceptional Child, Springfield, Massachusetts. I am grateful that we have added women of th is calibre to our ranks.
XVII. Final Word It has been a source of real pleasure lo serve you during these eleven epochmaking years. J am indeed grateful for the cooperation and assistance all of you have given me, for without this united effort l could not make such a report. Fo r forty-five years this magnlficenl vessel has withstood the storms and stresses; and us we move into the middle of the stream, we nruy for God's continued blessings. You can always count on me!

Minority Group Education States shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish ... " It has been primarily through the courts that the definition of the "Due Process of Law" clause has been construed. See the CONSTITUTION OF' THE UNITED STATES. Amendment 14. Section l." ... No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law." Nowhere on the face nor content of the Constitution of the United States, or Amendments does the word, "Negro/ Negroes" appear. The adapted terminology still is embodied within United States Nationalism. The role of the "Negroes" in America has changed considerably by geographical region. Often the running conflicts in intergroup relations are incited by outside influence. The schools exist for the student and the leaching staff has the moral obligation to: Impart knowledge by means of lessons; lo give instruction; to communicate knowledge; to introduce into, or impress lessons on the mind as information or truth which may be done through wrillen communication, or personal directions, through the public press or other means by which information may be disseminated most successfully. Formal education should have as its goal the welfare state of the entire society, and not that of a particular class or subgroup within the society. Many factors can influence attitudes. Since the trend in education is away from "pure" liberalism !o specialization and technology, moral issues a re equally significant factors in a well rounded education. The schools, public and private arc next to the home in the learning experiences of the pupil educating for creativity, and open mind, and thoughtful analytical reasoning to do obj ectivc thinking in solving social problems. The press with bold blazing masthead, subheadlines, and the bold type print very frequently pin point discrimination in public education to the gullibly digestive visibility of the bigot; and to U1e choleric indigestion of the oppressed religious, or racial minority involved. The distasteful wall barrier, a nausea agility which permeates, develop prcssu re groups proselyting a city into island communities of ethnic groups with anti-racist tendencies. In some local regions without the aid of the political instrument of law, the public school has revolutionized itself by dcscgrogatlon. Yet, without the United Slates Supreme Court System which gave to the courts legislative power, the blu print instrument for decisive ad m inistrative procedures, integration polici s of action could not be possible. Since the policies and problems of segregation, desegregation and integralion a r paramount focal bi-racial tssues with !h dominant majority and the major minority, a review or the specific concepts, am i .us curiam, writs of mandamus, ccrtioraris: the decisions of Federal Courts, and the United Stales Supreme Court in distinction, and contradistinction of court action and actions which set up a complete reverse of pr ima prior rulings provide excellent research in better interpreting the social problems of our country. Many citizens seem not to realize nor recognize that with every privilege, and with every oppo rtunlty comes a responsibility. It is the human aspect or self respect to be Jaw abiding citizens; but when the laws become destructive as a means to an end, i! is the right of the p oplc to amend or to change those laws.

S. 1731, the Administration's Omnibus "Civil Rights Act of 1963" - the famous feature of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, contained eight major titles to reaffirm for those minority groups who suffer disability accomodations in social contace. TITLE I - VOTING RIGHTS: Among the other items provides that a sixth grade education is a presumption of literacy in any State which has a literacy test, and requires that such tests be written. Prohibits any person from applying discriminatory standards in determining the qualification of voters." TITLE II - INJUNC'IIVE RELIEF AGAINST DISCRIMINATION IN PUBLIC ACCOMODATIONS. MINORITY GROUP EDUCATION (CONT.)
Bl\!
This title carried five sections. This title uphold the "equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Contitution of the United States; forbids discrimination or segregation in equal enjoyment of goods, services, facilities. privileges, advantages, and accomodations of the public establishments. TITLE III - DESEGREGATION OF PUBLIC EDUCAT ION. Provides for a Federal grant program in aid of voluntary desegregation, including the training of teachers and school personnel in dealing with problems of desegregation. TITLE IV - ESTABLISHMENT OF COMMUNITY RELATIONS SERVICE. Engage in informal conciliation of disputes involving discriminatory practices based on race, color, or national origin. May offer its services in local communities. TITLE V - COMMISSION O!': CIVIL RIGHTS. Restates and broadens the duties of the Commission, and extends its life for four years. TITLE VI -NONDISC H IMINATIO:'\ INF EDERALLY ASSISTED PROGRAMs. Renders inoperable any provisions of law permitting discrimination in any Federal financial assistance program. TITLE \'11 - COMMISSION ON EQUAL E:\IPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY. Authorizes appropriate action to assure mondiscrimination in Federal employment. TITLE VIII - MISCELLANEOUS. Authorizes the appropriation of necessary funds to carry out the provisions of the ACT. Whether a child is black or white, this cannot of it elf be construed solely as a qualification, or a disqualification for equal educational opportunity. Although much emphasis bf publicity is in education through the public schools, and formerly higher education; school segregation is only one of the many problems in the area of social education. Equity power of the Supreme Court was a decision of 1955 when the Supreme Court handed the decision that the Courts guided by equity and principle equity characterized by practical flexibility in shaping its remedies, and by a facility for adjusting and reconciling public and private needs ... the Courts may consider: a. problems related to Administration arising from physical conditions of the school plant. b. the school transportation system. c. personnel d. revision of school districts and attendance areas into compact units to achieve a system of determining admission to the public schools on a non racial basis e. revision of local laws; and f. regulations which may be necessary in solving the foregoing problems (Rosenblum, Victor G.

Political Instrument. Garden City, N. Y.: Doubleday and Co. 1955) (Ziegler, Benjamin Nunn. Desegregation and the Supreme Court. Boston: D. C. Heath and Co. 1958). Statistically, the Federal Government has aided education. In an attempt to strengthen the school's curriculum, in 1962 a total of $74,330,000 was expended through grants from Federal Agencies for the modernization of the carriculum. Over 65% of these funds were expended for the improvement of instruction in the sciences and mathematics. Approximately $9.2 million went into higher education program, and about 65.1 million dollars was expended for the elementary and secondary school programs. Nearly $700,000 was loaned during the same period of time to private secondary schools. The laboratory for all academic courses is becoming a popular education demand; Team Teaching with its learning centers; and the materials center for the elementary schoo can qualify for the supplementary teaching aids provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Title III of the National Defense Education Act establishes the largest program for strengthening instruction in the secondary and the elementary schools. Discriminatory acts are mortal problems of moral issues, in categories of economic stratification, ethnic groups, religion, social status, education, position, as well as other attributive factors according to the self of the person, and the manner in which he relates to the other. People are just people - wherever they are, _the_y _share similar emotions, drives, urges, desires, and mh1b1tio~s. In social conflict an open mind arriving at decisions with unprejudiced thinking, the acceptance of responsibility; the courage to do the things which must be done; the strength of wisdom to eradicate the errors one has made; the enthusiasm to approach new opportunities in the light of advancing the cause of humanity, will blend society into a more peaceful interaction. . When all confrontations have reached their peak; even wars - there must always be that conference around the table to work out peaceful, amicable compromises; or arbitrations, or agreements with which all parties agr_ee to conform to eliminate the difficulty, and resume am1ab'.e relations. Through education, the Negro can assume his major need - economic efficiency - wh_ich in ~rn will alleviate some, or most of the problems m public accomodations. f · 1 Forget not, that most, egroes, with a degre_e ~. mte ligence, too often exper ience.a "feeling_of quarantme when he considers his future; and the possible avenues open to him. Negroes have tended to train in formal educatio.n for the positions they knew there would. ~e an opport~mty to fill upon graduation from college. With teclrn~log1cal advancement, different opportunities will be available, especially in the field of science. Recent legislation, and changes in expressive atti~~es of many Caucasian Americans have opened _DPP?rtumhes to Negroes since 1962. We must always keep :mmmd that the American's horizon is growing from the ational to the International scene; and that all independence for people have not come through war; nor as the re ult of conquest through violence. On De Facto egregation, school boycotts and mass mo nstrallons have focused attention on def acto cases outside

of the south. The problem of de facto school segregation in the Northern and in the Western States is primarily an urban problem. About 60% of the Negroes living outside the South are ln the twelve largest cilles, others live in cities of more than 100,000 population. Fringe neighborhoods bottlenecking the Negroes expand in width and length. As a result of this type of expansion more and more schools in cities have become racially imbalanced. The 1961-62report of the National Association of Intergroup Relations Officials (NAIRO) indicated that 1,141 public schools in 115 communities in 19 states outside of the South had 60%or more Minority-group enrollment. Fifty-eight ( 58) schools in these communlties had 90% or more Minority-group enrollment. The State of California had a ruling by the California Supreme Court in June, 1963 that" ... the right to an equal opportunity in education and the harmful consequences of segregation require that school boards take steps to alleviate racial imbalance in schools regardless of its cause." In Indiana, the Federal Court ruling on de facto segregation case concluded that: " ... school boards are under no affirmative duty to end racial imbalance in the schools which results from residential patterns and not by law or design." Another plan for eliminating de facto segregation is, in part, for the school system to allow permissive or voluntary transfer. In these circumstances, transportation and regular attendance of the student is placed directly upon the parents. This so-called open school enrollment is permissiveonJyfor ·1egitimate reasons; race is one; the other is the practice of "open enrollment." It is not a simple matter lo create an image for a behavior pattern; and then suddenly expect an about face by the people who feel the pangs of injustices keenly according to the way they see the situation. What is it about being a " egro" that cause anll-raci m to the minority in this classification? The answer apparentaly is prejudice to phenotypic appearance and previous economic status dating back to 1619. Prejudice is not always discernible. What can the "Negro" do to improve his status? There are qualities other than the academic qualifications which give graciousness and charm lo the individual, namely these: art of communication; poise, allcrtness, even temperament, wearing attire, ability to get along with others - the friendly way; empathy, moral values such as integrity, loyalty, physical fitness - good health; mental attitudes are among those which personalizes the person as the "I" of the "ME" of the self of the individual one may call by name. The individual is jealous of his rights which in an abstract sense refer to ethical correctness or consciousness of consenance with the rules of the law, and justice. This is justly a power, a privilege, or a faculty ora demand which is inherent in one person bu l incident upon another. However in a juristic sense, the right of the person becomes a capacity in the one controlling with the assent, and with the assistance of the state the actions of the other . "All propositions, whether attributive or existential, are believed through th every fact ofbeingconceiv d, unless they clash with other propositions believed at the same time, by affirming that their terms are the same wlth the terms of these other propositions ... The whole distinction of real and unreal, the whole psychology of belief, disbelief, and doub., is thus grounded on two mental facts - first, thut we arc liable to think differently ofthesame;andsecond, that when we have done s , we can choose which way of thinking to adhere to and which to disregard." William .Jam ·, "The Perception of Reality."
