"Tall women, sun-crowned Who lived above the fog in public speaking and private thinking; Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands. Women whom the lust of office did not kill, Women whom the spoils of office did not buy; Women who possessed opinions and a will; Women who loved honor, women who could not lie; Women who could stand before a demagogue and down the treacherous flatteries without winking . . .'' -From Bulletin of First Antj.Basileus Velma C.

NATIONAL EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING FEBRUARY 6 - 7, 1970

How proud we are to have our FIVE PEARLS and Brother Charles Robert Taylor share our 50th Anniversary. Truly, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, is greatly blessed by the Almighty for bringing us to this jubilee year undaunted, perseverant, and inspired by those who have witnessed our birth and growth through the years! The founders indeed wrought better than they could have dreamed, for the bond of union created at Howard University in 1920 has spread far beyond the college walls. Diligently guarding the tenets and performing the tasks that will continue to make us a powerful force for service, we come speedily to our 50th year to meet greater challenges. ZETA, the future welcomes you; the challenge is for "greatness." After the tragedies and confrontations of the sixties, we look hopefully to the "sobering" seventies. These times will demand clear vision, straight thinking and unselfish doing; and, every Zeta must accept the challenge. We are indebted to past editors of the ARCHON and contributing Sorors for the "retrospect" and tributes found in this edition. We are especially grateful to Soror Nancy B. McGhee, Soror Lullelia W. Harrison (Past Grand Basilei), and Sorors Lillian Fentress, Marie Tarver, and Mary T. Williams (Past Editors),

A NOTE FROM: CHARLES ROBERT TAYLOR

How time flies! I am proud of my beloved sisters who, through fifty years of service to all mankind, have made indelible imprints upon the sands of time which, like the imprints of our Astronauts on the moon, will never be erased. The late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., had a dream. I, too, had a dream in the early l 920's of a group of the world's finest women to become sisters to Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. Thank God! I have lived to see my dream come true. I am checking off weeks, days and months until that great moment of the 50th Anniversary Boule. -Fraternally Yours

MESSAGE FROM THE GRAND BASILEUS Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporatel, after fifty years of existence, must take a long, hard look and give account of its stewardship to our beloved "Pearls" who gave us such a rich heritage. It is comforting to recap, relate and redirect our programs and projects to reflect these ideals upon which our Sisterhood was founded. As we focus our lives for the challenging seventies, "meeting human needs through designing and developing methods of improving the delivery of effective services," we are humble in our thanks to our dear Founders and Brothers in Sigma for our very existence. As we strive for perfection in Zeta, Jet it begin within each of us; and, let each variable which plays upon the harp of our lives resound for SCHOLARSHIP, SISTERHOOD and SERVICE. As a member of the social system, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority has to join the movement toward increased interdependence. We can no longer possibly conceive solutions for the problems we face without a relationship with other systems. We have attempted to examine these problems at three levels: In 1965 we issued "The Challenge to Zetas." First, "To Mobilize Task Forces"; secondly, we asked Zetas in 1967 to grow in depth for new innovations, "New Dimensions - The Forward Look." We are now facing a third level - meeting human needs, and we present to you a third challenge for 196970: "Meeting Human Needs Through Designing and Developing Methods of Improving the Delivery of Effective Services." Certainly the "Ten Point" Program leaves much to discover, yet every phase of our activity in Zeta, with careful defining, can be placed under one of these points.

SOROR MILDRED BRADHAM

Basileus so that this information may be compiled to give a true picture of our many scholarship efforts. In addition, we urge you to expand your knowledge of the various government educational programs as well as private foundations. We are doing our part, too, with Career Day programs in schools, tutorial and job information clinics, etc. This office would appreciate hearing from you about other special projects that you may be promoting. Undergraduate Cuncil Congratulations to our Third Anti-Basileus for a significant program as consultant to undergrads. We are also proud of our Undergraduate-at-Large who represented us well at the NCNW Conference in Nassau, Bahamas. We urge the undergraduates and their sponsors to respond to the various activities being promoted for undergraduates. We are depending upon you to set the stage for the observance of our Centennial, 2020. W.E.H.S. (Welfare, Education, Health Service)

We are beginning to move in this area. "The Goldsboro Story," "Adopt a Family," "Domestic Science Center" and project to "Develop Leaders Among the Disadvantaged Female Population" all indicate that we have moved into the arena of meeting human needs. Locally, there are many projects which I have observed: Cultural Center in Austin, Texas; Child Care Centers, Parent-Child Parental Clinics, Family Education Seminars, Clothing Banks, and many others tell the story of Zetas helping to deliver effective service.

Leadership Development Youth programs of every dimension have been sponsored. Adult local community groups with emphasis on Amicae have created and expanded activities exceeding that of some of the local Chapters. The seminar for Chapter Basile] sponsored by the National Office, conducted by Soror Isabel Herson and supported by regional, national and project directors, gave directives for further enhancement of local programming.

Communication Skills We are up-dating our handbooks, brochures and special literature and hope that each local Chapter will obtain at least five copies of each for the Chapter file. A special meeting could be set aside to examine these documents. Special Public Relations persons will be helping to direct the activities of the 50th Anniversary Boule. We encourage each of you to spend more time developing communication techniques. Great work performed by local groups is not recognized because we fail to make contacts with communication media and public relations experts.

Affiliates As National Chairman of Pan Hellenic Council, I can only urge you to be aware of the importance of our affiliations by re-stating the fact that the key word is "interdependence." We are proud of those Sorors who are involved in the many civic, fraternal and educational organizations; but, we are sure many, many more are needed to strengthen our programs. Membership Reclamation reports have already shown that the thermometer will climb. We look forward to the 1970 Boule with an additional 7,000 active paying Zetas. We are depending upon each of you to make this possible. Evaluating the Internal Structure and Program Soror Gertrude Williams and her committee have already begun contacting local and regional bodies for evaluation and certification of Constitution and ByLaws. Your prompt response to these requests is solicited. Education We arc proud of our record of scholarship awards. We again urge you to send information regarding individual Chapter presentations to the Second Anti-

Budget and Finance We look forward to the Founders' Foundation and implementing the proposal by Soror Issie Jen kins. Our systems - bookkeeping, programming and funding will be changed to meet these needs. ~mphasis - Housing We must contmue to support our Trustees in their efforts to enhance the property at Idlewild, Michigan· and, to refurbish National Headquarters. Regions and Chapters are reminded of the pledges made in 1966. Check your records to make sure that you are current in your obligations to the National Headquarters. LET 7

CONTINUE!

LIFE MEMBERS PLAN TRIPLE ''MISS FUTURE" Some of the most enthusiastic and dedicated sorors of Zeta Phi Beta are those in the Life Membership Ohapter, which boasts over two hundred in number. For the last few years emphasis has been placed on increasing the attendance of young undergraduates at Boules. Realizing their great desire to attend, the chapter has been financing the trip of some girl each year from one region of the sorority. The regions have been served in alphabetical order. Through wholesome competition the young sorors making the highest score in the special qualifications set up by the Life Member Representatives of all the regions is selected for the honor. At the Boule he is named "Miss Future Life Member." As a special project in celebration of the 50th Anniversary the chapter decided to work toward serving the last three regions by financing one girl from each of them. This will complete the circuit of eight regions. For the first time we shall honor triplets as the Misses Future Life Member. The honorees will journey from the PACIFIC, SOUTHEASTERN and SOUTH CENTRAL Regions.

By SOROR ETHEL C. PEYTON Chairman of Life Members

One of the highlights of the Boule will be the Golden Jubilee Parade of all members. The procession will be led by all who have become Life Members during the period 1968 - 1970.

They will be formally presented at the Golden Anniversary Breakfast meeting being held Thursday, August 6, at the Shoreham Hotel. A portion of the program will be devoted to a display of the outstanding talents of the honorees. The first ten sorors who became Life Members will also receive special recognition.

Our Life Members continue to express their enthusiasm in their selection of projects and in urging more sorors to join this grand chapter. Life Members of the Pacific Region extend Greetings to all Life Members and Soro rs of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, on this our Fiftieth Anniversary. The spirit of Zeta will echo far and wide throughout our many chapters in the United States and in Africa. During this great milestone in Zeta's glorious history, Life Members of the Pacific Region will have the distinguished opportunity of presenting a young lady from our Region as "Miss Future Life Member." Would it not be a spectacular event if Life Members from all Regions could sponsor a girl or a group of girls to our great Jubilee Celebration? We are hopeful, however, that through the financial efforts of all Life Members our region can sponsor more than one young Zeta. NAOMI M. MASON, Life Member Chairman, Pacific Region

LJFE MEMBER Verona Middleton ot Orangeburg, South Carolina, serves as dietitian at Claflin College, advisor for the Freshman Class, member of the Fellowship and Athletic Committee. A member of Trinity United Methodist Church where she serves in the following capacities: Coordinator for the Youth Department of the church, Chairman of the Membership Committee of the Wesleyan Service Guild, and continuously serving as Youth Director for the South Carolina Conference in the United Methodist Church for ten years. She is also a member of the League of Church Women United. She participates in the Sunlight Club, a civic benevolent organization which helps to foster the home for girls of the State of South Carolina and served as Neighborhood Chairman for Girl Scout Leaders for two years, and Scout Leader for eight years. "Faith Without Actio11 Is Useless"

The chapters are lending their cooperation to the Life Member Representative in sponsoring a campaign to increase the number of Life Members in the Midwestern Region. Grand Basileus Bradham spoke encouraging words for this effort. She also stated that those who become members during the Golden Anniversary year will receive gold certificates. Soliciting Life Members could be a means for the Regions to acquire additional revenue to share with Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Educational and Service Project Foundations. The Midwestern Region is already making elaborate plans for entertaining you in Oklahoma City in 1972 when Chi Zeta Chapter will host the most unique Boule that Zetas have ever had the pleasure of attending. This will be one that you can't afford to miss. We will show and tell you more about it in Washington, D. C.

PARLIAMENTARY INTEREST SOLICITED The Grand Basileus has appointed me Chairman of Internal Structure for the year 1968 - 1970. To insure democracy and to prevent members from milling around in confusion when they come together for a meeting, we should acquaint ourselves with the necessary and basic tools for effective operation. Knowledge of rules for meetings enables our Sorors to accomplish the work effectively and efficiently while at the same time protecting the right of all Sorors. When only the Chairman knows the rules, she i handicapped and the work of the meeting suffers. When most of the body has a working knowledge of the rules, then the body controls the meeting and the Chairman simply directs it. No one can know everything about Parliamentary Procedure. Even the best Parliamentarian has, at times, to rely upon his good judgment and the common sense of the body. However, this year we hope to strive for the basic principles in conducting our meetings. We hope that in your program for the coming year you will allow time for chapter study of policies and procedures. We also hope that each Basileus will have a guideline as to what each officer can do to improve the meetings. One of the difficulties which interferes with Parliamentary Procedure is that members are not familiar with the forms of making various motions. Correct forms arc usually shorter and more clearly understood than any improvised statement . In the coming months this office will endeavor to send handy reference sheets and suggestions for making meetings productive and enjoyable for sorors who plan, lead and attend them.

BIRCH HAVEN .......

By SOROR ELLA STRAWBRIDGE, Trustee

If you need a rest, fresh clean pure air, participation in water sports, beach sun, night club life including floor shows, and delicious home cooked food, plan a visit to Birch Haven in Idlewild, Michigan, which is the place for outgoing people. You will find over 147 lakes, including 48 trout lakes, in this one particular area, if fishing is your liking. There arc many historical places to visit or just enjoy the varied, beautiful scenery. A visitor to Houston, Texas, would never think of not making a trip to sec the famous Astrodome, with its beautiful artificial turf carpeting, before departure, while ldlewild boasts of the fabulous Shrine of the Pines. Every piece of furniture and decor was carved by one man. Although it took many years for completion and a sizeable fortune was offered by foreign countries, he chose to will this showplace to neighboring Baldwin, Michigan, as a museum for visitors like us to sec. We suggest this as a MUST in your itinerary planning, for a stay at ZETA PHI BETA SORORITY'S BIRCH HAVEN COTTAGE. courts, and beaches. Ludington is a well known car ferry port and a popular resort region. A lighted cross marks the spot where Father Jacques Marquette died in 1675. The above are only a few places for your consideration during your stay. You will find many more to investigate.

Oh, it is too far! No, it is nor- Drive and it is fun. There arc many hospitable motels to stop at on the way. If traveling from west or south, drive to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and board the S.S.

Report of the Forty-First Annual National Pan-Hellenic Council, Incorporated By SOROR RUTH M. GORE, National Chairman, Zeta Phi Beta Pan-Hellenic Activities

The 41st Annual Convention of the National PanHellenic Council, Incorporated, was held in Berkeley, California, March 28 - 29, 1969. The following officers were elected for the 19691970 year: Soror Mildred Bradham, Zeta Phi Beta, Chairman; Dr. Margorie Parker, Alpha Kappa Alpha, First Vice Pesident; M. Dennis Williams, Alpha Phi Alpha, Second Vice President; Mrs. Lillian P. Benbow, Delta Sigma Theta, Secretary, and Mr. Earl A. Morris, Kappa Alpha Psi, Treasurer. The desirability of jurisdictional flexibility in coping with the new demands of our contemporary society was emphasized. Unrealistic, hard-and-fast rules, policies, and regulations must be carefully re-examined with a view toward liberalization of the many traditional policies and patterns. The endorsement of shared leadership between the young and the older membership is UNDERSCORED. After much discussion and modification, the following recommendations were approved by the delegations from the eight affiliate organizations: l. That graduate councils be urged to accept the responsibility for positive leadership which they can give to student activist groups; 2. Encourage the establishment of lines of communication between graduate and undergraduate chapters in the solution of our common problems;

Although some of the 20 to 50 youngsters who were involved in this project were experiencing to a considerable degree growing-up pains of adolescence, the problems which in general seemed to be prevalent were those which seem to attend inner-city poverty.

The Undergraduate Chapter, Omega Beta, is situated on the campus of Fayetteville State University and the Graduate Chapter, Gamma Upsilon Zeta, is located in the city.

An appropriate and colorful exhibit was designed and built by the members of the two chapters of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. An estimated 15,000 persons assembled to view the exhibits. The theme was "EXPO '69." At Christmastime Gamma Upsilon Zeta Chapter provided a needy family with food, clothing and toys for the children in the family. In addition the chapter made its annual visit to a foster home and contributed gifts to the needy children. Gamma Upsilon Zeta Chapter sponsors such activities as Teas and Receptions for new Zetas who come into the Fayetteville area. Recently Soror Rose Lyons, wife of Dr. Charles Lyons, the new president of Fayetteville State University, was the guest of the Gamma Upsilon Zeta Chapter at a reception held in her honor.

Alpha Psi Zeta Chapter of Los Angeles, California Co-Sponsors the First Successful All Black Junior Achievement Company in the Nation

As a part of its Social Action Program for 1968-'69, Alpha Psi Zeta Chapter co-sponsored Cha MWeusi Productions, a Junior Achievement Company. The company was set up to teach young adults how the private enterprise system works in America. Teenagers were given an opportunity to learn practical business procedures, production, marketing, selling, and record-keeping activities by doing. The most unique feature about Cha MWeusi Productions was the fact that it was the first all - black Junior Achievement company in the history of the organization which began nationally 50 years ago, and in Los Angeles County 15 years ago. Membership included junior and senior students from Jefferson, Jordan, Locke, and Manuart Arts High Schools, which are located in Central and South Los Angeles. The students were responsible for selecting a company name and appointing officers, choosing a marketable product, capitalizing through the sale of stock certificates, purchasing raw materials, manufacturing and marketing the product, and then liquidating the company. .

40th SOUTHERN REGIONAL CONFERENCE If you failed to attend the 40th Regional Conference, you missed one of the most dynamic and beneficial meetings in the history of the Southern Region. The Director, Soror Hazel F. Simmons, presided. Upsilon Zeta Chapter served as hostess; Soror Maggie B. Daniel, Basileus, and Soror Sammie W. Sutton, Regional Marshal. The setting, which showed diligent planning, helped to make the stay for the sorors exciting and stimulating. In conjunction with the Zeta Conference, the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. held its 24th Regional "Lone Star" Conference. Theme: "Brotherhood, A Universal Necessity." Some of the sessions, when possible, were held jointly. This added much to the success of both conferences. Highlights of the conference were: Report of the Executive Board by Soror Lucllclia W. Harrison, Chairman of the Regional Board, and the appearance of Soror Mildred C. Bradham, Grand Basileus, who, while addressing the sorors, challenged all Zetas to live up to their responsibilities as ZETA WOMEN. She mentioned the challenge of change and new dimensions of meeting human needs, through developing and designing methods for rendering more effective service. She was dynamic and forceful.

Regional Director S0ROR HAZEL SIMMONS Southern Region

The implementation of the Ten-Point Program was discussed by the Regional Director, Sorer Hazel F. Simmons, who gave explicit directions for carrying out this worthwhile program in keeping with the demands of changing times. She admonished the sorors to have faith in themselves, and our way of life, urging all Zetas to work for peace and for recognition of human dignity.

u!lde~gradua~e chapt_ers h~d a ~hance t_o_ meet the young, vivacrous Third Anti-Basileus m her visits to their chapters and after the visit they were so impressed that many of them followed her to the 40th Annual Conference in Marshall, Texas. Another pleasant experience was the tribute that was paid to Soror Thelma Y. Thomas of Beta Kappa Zeta Chapter, Lake Charles, Louisiana, an Associate Director of the Southe_rn Region. In paying tribute to Soror Thomas, Soror Evelyn George pointed out that arnons the many outstanding activities that Soror Thomas took part in, such as civic, religious, educational and community organizations, her work with Zeta came FIRST. The sorors showed their appreciation by verbal expressions and the showering of many beautiful wellselected gifts. '

The workshop session followed, directed by Soror E. Marie Gilbert. Emphasis was placed on "Ten Major Points" which every Zeta is being asked to dedicate herself to during this turbulent period. They are: J. Developing Leadership and Program 2. Affiliates 3. Reclamation

4. I ntcrnal Structure 5. Scholarship and Education 6. Undergraduate Council 7. W.E.H.S. 8.

On the morning of April 5th attending sorors enjoyed the fellowship of the Regional Breakfast. Following that. the business of the General Session was conducted by Soror [sabcl M. Herson, First Anti-Basilcus. The committee reports, etc., were given.

During the Necrology, mention was made of those sorors who had departed this life. Special mention was made of Sorer Grace S. Jackson by Sorer Marion D. Walker, Mu Zeta Chapter. Soror Grace S. Jackson, Past Regional Diector, whose life's door closed after a period of established achievement on Saturday, November 2, 1968 ,is still alive in the minds of those who knew her well. Silent prayer was offered in memory of the departed sorors.

The "Love Feast" was most unusual. Soror Janice Gantt-Kissner gave the address for the evening. She selected for her subject, "Let's Have a Love-In for Zeta." She was most inspiring. The audience was so pica cd that she received a standing ovation. Lt was felt by many sorors, who cjpresscd themselves, that' the success of the conference was due largely to the fact that the undergraduate chapters really came alive. Their whole-heated participation and their performance were so filled with pep and enthusiasm. It was inspiring JU t to sit and watch them. Many of the

After the resolutions, recommendations, etc., the 40tl1 Annual Conference was brought to a close with the Meditation and Sorority Hymn. 25

ZETA CULTURAL PROJECT

A ten-year dream became a reality when the Real state ornrnittcc of ALPHA KAPPA ZETA CHAPTER, Southern Region, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., purchased properly at 1171 San Bernard Street, Austin, Texas. Each member shares equally in the monthly f'i nancial obligation of this giant project, along with the biennial Blue Revue. Furnishings for the building were donated by the sorors and interested friends. The purpose of the property is lo foster cultural activities for youth and adults. The Fine Arts Program sp nsorcd by the Human Opportunities Corporation and funded by the Office of Economic Opportunity was the initial community activity at Zeta Cultural Corner during the summer of 1968. For six weeks, 200 youths received instruction in

String, Guitar, Choral Music, Drama, Art, and Ballet, under competent teachers. The 1968 - 1969 Fall and Winter Program included weekly instruction for youth in Guitar and Ballet. Adult sessions emphasized: You and Your Vote, Gift Wrapping Techniques, Hobby Exchange, and Filing Your Income Tax. During the summer of 1969 a similar six weeks' program was sponsored by the chapter through volunteer service of sorors and interested citizens. The program, for 86 youths, included Hobby Crafts, Folk Dance, Choral Music, Sewing Techniques, Guitar, and Drama. The culminating activity, called "JEWEL LEE SMITH DAY," was presented in honor of Soror Smith, who created the idea of cultural activities for youth.

Highlights of the Progress Made by Mu eta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. in Meeting the "Challenge" of Community Change The members of Mu Zeta Chapter are concerned about health problems, educational needs, delinquency problems and cultural vacuums in our community. Mu Zeta Chapter has a membership of 74 women, under the leadership and counsel of two dedicated women, Soror Rebacca F. Netterville, Basileus, and Soror Isabel M. Herson, who serves as Adviser. These women represent many types of vocations. Some of the voluntary services that we have concerned ourselves with are: services in after-school centers for cultural enrichment and occupation of teenagers; community centers for health education and information; counseling and employment services for older persons (especially women); aids to homemakers in consumer education; care of children and the eradication of hunger; and services to enable newcomers, moved by the currents of American mobility, to find their way in the anonymity of urban life. A committee on reclamation was appointed, chaired by Sorer Alice Vivian Houston. Fifteen or more members were reclaimed. The necessity for expanded efforts toward meeting the many needs of the boys and girls of the Eden Park area served as a stimulus for the launching of the United Methodist Mission Project. Eden Park had been, for years, the most mis-named residential area in Baton Rouge. Its streets were narrow and rough. Its houses were small and close together. There was little resemblance to a park, much Jess to the Garden of Eden. Now, however, Eden Park is changing. No longer docs its streets connect only rnonotonou blocks of frame houses and dingy stores. Today, determined to improve their surroundings, and aided by other interested citizens, the people of Eden Park are working to make their neighborhood worthy .of its picturesque name. Coordinating the Project and bringing other interested agencies in to give assistance is Soror Alice Vivian Houston, She was, at that time, Principal of South Greenville Elementary School and still is Superintendent of the Sunday School of the Hughes United Methodist Mission Church. She was assisted by Brother G. Leon Netterville, now President of Southern University, and a committee from the chapter. In accepting the position of Coordinator of the Project, Soror Houston and her committee viewed it as a challenge to attempt new and far-reaching programs to solve specific problems. She also felt that the youth of that area had a potential for growth and change. They just needed further proof that someone cared. The project is still in progress and has the support of MU ZETA CHAPTER.

DR. DEBORAH P. WOLFE CELEBRATES CLOSING OF FINER WOMANHOOD WEEK

with DELTA XI ZETA CHAPTER OF ZETA PHI BETA SORORITY Dr. Deborah P. Wolfe, past Grand Basileus of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority and a member of the faculty of Queens College, Flushing, New York, shocked the citizens of Rock Hill, South Carolina, and surrounding communities, out of their seeming lethargy. In her usual dynamic manner, she delivered a sermon challenging "Black Women" in particular and mankind in general to accept the "CHALLENGE" that is now confronting us. She urged fellow sorors and the audience to integrate God Power, Brain Power, Black Power - into a product that will serve as a catalytic agent to force man kind to use all resources to the best advantage. Friendship Junior College Choir rendered music in keeping with the tone of the sermon. Rev. J. D. Rucker and Trustees of Mount Prospect Baptist Church graciously allowed us the privilege of coordinating thi activity with their Sunday morning service February 23, 1969. As n guest to introduce Dr. Wolfe, we invited Soror Annie E. Hanberry, Southeastern Regional Director.

Project "OPERATION NEW OPPORTUNITY"

Members of the enthusiastic Zetalite group of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, St. Louis, Missouri, and the Voter Registration Drive Committee just before setting out on their task of door-knocking to encourage residents to register at the neighborhood school on a specified date in conjunction with the Board of Education's efforts to get as many people registered as possible before April, 1970. This will be a continuous effort on the part of the Zetalites, the Phi Alpha and Zeta Amicae Chapters of the Sorority until the drive ends. This week's efforts were centered in the area of Williams School, 3955 St. Ferdinand.

The WEHS Committee for several years has been highly success in its projects with mothers in poverty areas. Its aim has been to bring to these under-privileged women enlightenment in various phases (problems) of everyday life that will help them to become better homemakers. For the year 1969 - 1970 there will be a Fall Session and a Spring Session of "Operation New Opportunity." Each session of the project will be of six weeks duration. The Fall Session began October 16, 1969 at the Carver House Community Center. The Spring Session is scheduled to begin February 5, 1970, at the Urban League Center.

The areas of implementation for each session arc: Housing (Interior Decorating), Health, Child Care, Nutrition, Budgeting, Voter Registration and Helpful Sewing Hnits. Each participant in the Fall Session will make a garment to be modeled by herself or her child in a Fashion Tea to be held during Finer Womanhood Weck, 1970.

Third Anti-Basileus Weds Carlton Thomas Kissner

viser; and Soror Priscilla Jackson, one of the bride's attendants. The Sorors of Beta Delta Zeta Chapter and Chi Chapter were .in full attendance. Mr. Kissner is employed by the O.1.C.-R.I.S.E. program in Philadelphia, where he instructs and helps to rehabilitaJte men with prison records. He is a graduate of Michigan State University and has studied at the University of Maine. Soror Kissner is a third level teacher of mathematics and readin~ at the Willow High School in Abington, Pennsylvania.

Sorer Janice Marie Gantt, Third Anti-Basileus, became the bride of Mr. Carlton Thomas Kissner of Dearborn, Michigan, Sunday, June 22, at St. Simeon Episcopal Church, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Among the well wishers attending the service and reception were Soror Mildred C. Bradham, Grand Basileus; Soror Arizona C. Stemons, Basileus-Emeritus and Founder of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.; Soror Athalia W. Lott, Regional Director; Lullelia W. Harrison, Past Grand Basileus; Soror Alice Roye, Chairman of the Trustee Board; Soror Issie Jenkins, Legal AdFrom Undergraduate-at-Large La Paula Turner

4105 N. Newstead Avenue St. Louis, Missouri 63115 Dear Sorors: May all the joy and happiness of being a Zeta be yours! I'm sure everyone on every campus is saying "What's Up?" And I'm equally sure that Zeta on your campus is "up front" with activities and progress. As your Undergraduate-at-Large, I repreented Zeta at the Affiliate Assembly of the National Council of Negro Women in Nassau, Bahamas, July 3-7, 1969. During the assembly I met National heads of 25 organizations and was able to spend some time with our own First Anti-Basileus, Soror Isabel Herson. Please, wherever you are, find and join the N.C.N.W. chapter of your city. There is need for young women to become more involved in civic affairs and we can become more involved through N.C.N.W. The Council in your locale will from time to time elect officers and Zeta should hold important positions everywhere. If need be, organize a young adults section or youth section of the Council in your part of the world. On August 1, 1969, I attended my first Executive Board Meeting. Twenty-six members of the board were present. The budget for the year was acted upon and as a result we undergraduates can and should have a national assembly. We must be of one accord and we can do so by meeting and getting our program in order. Our 50th Anniversary is scheduled for August 2-7, 1970, in Washington, D. C. In order to prepare ourselves for this golden occasion, an Assembly in the fall would be essential. Write to your Third Anti-Basileus and/or myself and let us know of your desire to have a National Undergraduate Assembly. Sincerely, I hope your schedule for the year has been planned and that you will follow through with them. Do not wait 'TlL THE LAST MINUTE to do anything! Start now to prepare for your Regional Under-

graduate Zeta Workshop in the spring. Prepare now for your Blue Revue, Finer Womanhood Week, Founders' Day Celebration, Violette Anderson Day, 50th Anniversary Boule, and above all, prepare for your civic services. Try to function in a service capacity once a month or once every other month. You will not regret being PREPARED! News Notes Our Third Anti-Basileus, Soror Janice Gantt, as of June 22, 1969 has become Soror Janice Gantt-Kissner. Best wishes, Soror Kissner, for a very happy married life. Executive Board Meeting, February 6 and 7, 1970. Please inform me of any desires relating to undergraduates needs, etc., so that I can relate said desires to the Board. Congratulations to all Neophytes! As you know, you have joined the BEST sorority! Undergraduate Manual for city and campus chapters is off the press and available to you. This is the shortest newsletter you will receive, because I am expecting to hear from each of our 91 chapters pertaining to activities, suggestions and accomplishments, so that we may share all information. May I suggest at this time that each of us in our own way salute our "Grand" Soror Bradham. She has backed undergraduates each year in office. Let's not let her faith in us dwindle. 41

WELCOME

CORONATION Allen University

From the Office of Third Anti-Basileus 72 W. Washington Lane Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19144 Hope you had a fabulous summer - now on to VICTORY. A new year, a new start. This school term of 1969-1970 is the most significant term since Zeta's founding. This is our 50th Anniversary year and we want to present a program second to none. After you have organized your academic schedule, have chapter meetings. Resolve to meet regularly and use the time profitably. Remember to pay your dues. Let's converge on Washington, D. C. in such numbers until the impact will be "OUT OF SIGHT." Have some ideas for Undergraduate Day; forward them immediately. We need all the help and suggestions we can get. The Executive Board met on August 1, 2, and 3 and Soror LaPaula Turner, our Undergraduate - at - Large, along with myself, have decided to postpone the National Undergraduate Workshop until the Friday evening and Saturday before the Boule is officially open. This saves money, and that most undergraduates don't have. You would be coming two days before the Boule, so food and hotel feels are needed for those extra days. You'll !be hearing from Soror Turner and myself about this from time to time.

MIAMI UNDERGRADUATE ZETAS AT F.M.C. Florida Memorial College was the scene of presentation for the Iota Alpha Undergraduate Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sororitay, Inc. annual Fall Rush Party on October 2, 1969. This affair was chiefly directed toward originating an interest in college girls to become a part of Zeta's Finer Womanhood program, thereby sharing the goals of SCHOLARSHIP, SERVICE, and SISTERHOOD. After an informal period of questions and answers, the audience was entertained with Zeta pep songs and line dances. Royal blue and white dominated the scene, with an assemblage of Zeta, materials and souvenirs, that created gleaming eyes and lasting conversations. The occasion was well attended by the student body and members of Beta Tau Zeta Chapter. Members of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority (Iota Alpha Chapter) are Jacqueline Alderman, Millicent Nixon, Garnell Kemp, Adrilla Horton, Thelma Barnett, Catherine Taylor, Constance Young, Marcia Smith, Sharon Lockhart, Patronella Thomas, Laura Showers, Anita Richardson, Marian Jenkins, Beverly Williams, Shirley Henry, Patricia Hunt, Sandra Willis, Carolyn Manning, Sharon Helper, and Rosemond Papy.

Soror Bannister, we say THANKS!

MRS. FRANKIE ROLLE, Chairman of Beta Tau Zeta Undergraduate Council

Our activities for this year arc progressing nicely. A lawn dance held behind the Student Union after one of our football games proved unique and enjoyable to all who came. Participating in an all Greek Sorority Sing proved that although everyone can't be a Zeta, we know how to work together. The cooperation was beautiful. Plans arc in the making for Founders' Day, Finer Womanhood Week and the Blue Revue. We of Phi Chapter extend best wishes for success during the coming year and Jest we forget, "ALL IS CONQUERED THROUGH LABOR." SOROR MARLENE FIELDS

Services Sought (1) Financial aid is needed for the monthly activities. (2) Help is needed in securing transportation for those activities taking place outside of the immediate community. Acting upon the advice of Mr. Conaway, the sorority has, at this point, suspended recruitment in order that other phases of the program be put in motion. A gradual increase of participants will follow this period of stabilization.

ACCENT: YOUTH BIG

SISTER

PROGRAM

The Alpha Chapter, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. CHAIRMAN'S REPORT By Dolores M. Gibson

Functions and Objectives In essence, the Big Sister Program is a community service project of which the sorority serves as coordinator. The aim is to so structure the program to realize the following objectives: (1) To promote between the community school girl and the Howard woman a relationship which will lead to a gradual heightening of the child's aspirations and belief in her own potential. (2) To involve the Howard woman in the life of the community; to increase her awareness of and sensitivity to its needs. Structure The program consists of three general points: (1) A person-to-person relationship between the 'big sister' and the 'little sister.' Through their personal friendship, the 'big sister' attempts to meet the needs of her 'little sister.' The pair's talks, activities, etc. are so structured to meet these needs. (2) Monthly activities sponsored by the sorority for all 'little sisters' and their 'big sisters.' These events will serve to spark enthusiasm and maintain unity within the program by means of group fun and recreation. (3) Regular seminars for 'big sisters' and members of the sorority to exchange experiences and discuss various aspects of the program. Attempts will be made to have at these meetings guests who are involved in areas of community work which relate to the Big Sister Program. These seminars will serve to further unify and impove the project. Recruitment and Selection The sorority requires that each 'little sister' be a resident within the boundaries of the thirteenth precinct, and that the FINAL decision to participate in the program be HER decision. The 'big sister' must be a student at Howard who has indicated a sincere interest in working with a school girl in the community. 'Little sisters' were signed up through their schools with the consent and cooperation of Mrs. Sarah P. Newton, Principal of Meyer Elementary, and Mrs. Gerta D. Murchison, Assistant Principal for Girls at Banneker Junior High. At the first meetings held with the girls in their schools, 37 Meyer students and 17 Banneker students were placed on the list. In similar meetings that followed many more girls were added. 'Big sisters' were recruited with the aid of signs posted in various locations on the Howard campus. The typical sign read: "A Schoolgirl In This Community Needs YOU. Be Her Big Sister." Attached was a sheet on which the interested student signed her name, address and phone number. Services Obtained (I) Several campus buildings have spaces available for the sorority's use upon due notice. (2) The sorority has secured the services of Mr. James R. Conaway, Executive Director of the Junior Citizens Corps at 720 Barry Place, N.W. Mr. Conaway and two other members of his staff will serve as advisors in the program. The staff has approved the first draft of the program and is being informed regularly of its progress. The sorority will consult the staff when faced with major decisions or crisis. Also, the sorority may have access to the JCC headquarters upon request.

Geraldine Rosemary Davis, Who Participated In Austria's Graz Center, Returns To U.S.A.

American students and faculty representing 31 colleges and universities recently returned to the United States after summer residency at the Graz Center, an institute of international studies, University of Graz, Austria. Students engaged in courses related to the culture, history, philosophy, and geography of Eastern Europe. Course work took many students behind the iron curtain to such countries as the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia during the period in which the U.S.A. was putting the first man on the moon. A number of European students and professors also participated in the Center. Highlights of the Graz experience included a reception given in the historic Eggenberg Castle by Styrian Governor Joseph Krainer. The Castle has hosted such guests at Napoleon and Queen Elizabeth. Also notable was the hospitality shown the students by the Mayor and people of Graz, Austria's second largest city. Over 200 Americans associated with the Center were feted on several occasions at the famous Graz Clock Tower. The Graz Center is a program of the Association of Colleges and Universities for lnternational-lntercultural Studies. The Executive Director of the Association is Dr. Richard N. Bender, a staff member of the Board of Higher Education, United Methodist Church. The Graz Center is served by a distinguished Advisory Council which includes two current members of the U. S. Congress, the former Ambassador to the United States from Austria, and other government and education leaders from the U. S. and Europe. Geraldine Rosemary Davis of Rust College participated in the 1969 Graz Center. Proud Zeta Mother Presents Berthine Dean
