VOLUME XXVXI - No. 4
THE ARCHON is published twice yearly by Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., from the office of the Antapokritis, located at 2191 N. W. 58th Street, Miami, Florida 33142. All correspondence, manuscripts andphotographs should be addressed to Soror Marian H. Shannon, Editor, at this address.
Editor's Corner
This has been a "go" year for your editor. There "was" a crisis in education in Florida .... Pan Hellenic was re-activated in Dade County .... NEA unamously elected Soror Elizabeth D. Koontz, President-Elect, in Minne· apolis. . . . membership on national professional committees and religious boards required several meetings in Atlanta, Tallahassee and Richmond; and, of course, there were speeches to be made for the profession, for ZETA and the A.M.E. Church. Once again, it is time for our ARCHON. This office expresses profound appreciation for your encomiums and welcomes your continued efforts to help us create a better journal. As Zeta reveals: "The struggle of today is not altogether for todayit is for a vast future, also!" On the eve of advent, we join the voices heralding PEACE ON EARTH and Zetas rejoice anew, for this season also heralds the, stirrings of another advent. On January 16, 1920, we were born. The great investment of time, inspiration and counsel given through the years by the "Pearls" of Zetaour five Founders-is paying dividends in human talent, new dimensions in community projects and FINER WOMANHOOD. We pray, earnestly, that the legacy of our Founders will never be dimmed; and, that as W.E.H.S. and new frontier open to us, Zeta's future will be as bright as the stars o( our Founders and as everlasting!

CREATION OF ZETA J n God's Jove five stars appeared, Showing the world a marvelous new light; Dispersing all darkness that had existed, Through finer womanhood they displayed, they stood for might
These five tars walk on earth, And by their radiance gather young ladios together In growing numbers to meet an ever challenging dimension, Of needs, educational and social, forever. These ladies are of strong mind and character, They establish under the stars a firm foundation, With cholarship, sisterhood, love, and service They help the egro, and advance his place in the nation. As God looked at His creation and said: "That's good!" We look now and ever at Zeta; Her influence is wide and her causes arc known, But we arc the one to make her fame greater. Soror Janet Vanderbilt Alpha Alpha Chapter Chicago, Illinois

ALPHA ZETA CHAPTER OF THE ZETA PHI BETA SORORITY PRESENTS SPECIAL FEATURE FOR FOUNDERS' DAY Written by Soror Ruth M. Cleaver The "Special Feature" on the Founders' Day program sponsored by Alpha Zeta Chapter of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority was a dramatization of the history by means of a life-size illustrated history book. The highlights of the history were written in verse and illustrated by Soror Ruth M. Cleaver, Antapokritis. The dramatic readings were done by Soror Althea Cornish, General Chairman; Soror Katharine 0. Johnson, Chairman of Special Feature, and Soror Ruth M. Cleaver. The feature was enhanced by the background organ music which had been played and taped by Mr. Delmas Milbourne, Principal of' Abraham Lincoln School, No. 14 1.
THE FEATURE Introduction Finlandia (Ployed softly while words of Zeto Hymn are being read reverently)
To you, my Sorors Zetas peers Again we gather, once 'each y~ar We take a measure of our goals.
For the price of glamour, of popularity or sport, Women who inspire the noblest in men, Who stand side by side through thick and thin, Who build in a world of war and rift Lives that love and laugh and lift.
a;
We spend a pleasant hour or two Renew our vows and rendezvous.' We shake each hand and warm each heart By doing some· particular part.
And so upon the wings of morn Arizona did this challenge adorn, And soon our own Brother Charles Robert Taylor Was pleasantly rewarded for his endeavor When Arizona presented to him Four other pearls for our diadem.
But how could e'er we end the day Un less our history we portray? Our past, the present must make clear; The present must the future bear A~ link by link we forgo the chain 01 noble sisterhood.
First sisters Viola and Myrtle Tyler, Then Pearl Neal and Fannie Pettie followed.
And though we arc incompetent We've done our best, with good intent, To recall to each soror here The noble deeds wrought through the years By means or this PICTURE BOOK.
Howard Univ rsity wa the place First in history Zeta's name to grace. Sigma still loyal to our cause Formally introduced us at Hotel, White Law; Our Constitution was based on theirs As we became their true sister dears. AK.A. and Delta, too Gave a royal welcome to our Zeta blue.
(Very ,hort musicol interlude whilo turning to fir,t page)
Listen, my Sorors, and you shall hear The history of Zeta, our Sorority dear. On the I 6th of January in 1920 Zeta Phi Beta became an entity.
We became incorporated in 1923 Under the District laws of D.C. And high and bright on the original charter Arc the names Gladys Warrington and Myrtle Tyler Joanna Houston and Josephine Johnson, And Goldie Smith complete the roster.
A pca~I was picked Irorn the realms of glory And .given a name lo begin our story: A pncel~ss pearl, a royal diadem, lothcd 111 culture, in eloquence and then Modest, intelligent and sedate, Arizona Cleaver, the appellate. She was chosen by our Phi Beta brother And asked to sec if she cou Id discover Other fine women just like herself, Not those, who clamour for power or pelf, Not those whose minds remain on self, Not those whose ideals may be placed on a shelf:
In 1920, in December weather Zeta-Sigma Boule was held together. By 1927 our great need For a Regional Meeting we did heed; And thus held forth in Washington, D.C. The first Regional Meeting to decree. Since Finer Womanhood was our ideal We set aside a week with zeal To Io tcr, nurture and adore The finest, the noble t that womanhood affords.
But women who stand for the better things in life, Women who remain true in the thick of , trifc, Women whose womanhood is not bought

From one chapter of five PEARLS To 300 chapters and 10,000 girls; Zeta has built a ladder by which to rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And like the spiral and the plane Love's spark begins but never wanes.
And thus in 1935 A Recreation Project did we bestride In Coatesville, Pennsylvania. Our Housing Project of '43 United us with the National Authority.
In '4 7 we made a decree Oracle! ... Oracle! Now unfold; We wish the future to behold!
To prevent and control juvenile delinquency With all power and strength at our command. With a La Cheerio Project we tried to bring Cheer to the lonely and to the shut-in.
We behold FINER WOMANHOOD, strong and tall Like a Statue of Liberty she stands astride, With love guiding men in spite of the tide Of wanton wretchedness.
Now a monument to Zeta's glory, A symbol of love that tells a story That no man can deny ls the late Violette Anderson's gift, A home in Idlewild, by a clift, Entrenched in old historic myths And grand rnore's.
Look closely, sec chapters multiply, Behold Youth Groups upon whom to rely, See ZETA located on seven continents Cohered by life that loves and lifts.
What a harvest our past has wrought! Women from every zone, and port Of the United States and Africa; Motherhood, medicine, dentistry, law, Creative genius to the fore Painting, sculpture, music, too, Praising God in all we do, Business, pharmacy and fine arts, Record for us only a small part Of Zeta's claim to glory.
No artisan of low degree Could fashion th is sorori Ly; No man, 110 woman and no child Could possibly it's depth beguile; For Zeta built on love supreme Is more than just a scoffer's dream It's more than pride and fantasy It rcache out to the sou Is of men, Claims scholarship, sisterhood and then Upon the 31st Chapter of Proverb Places womanhood in her role superb.
We shift now to our present scene And behold what truth it does reveal A national Grand Basileus ... GREA.iT! Soror Mildred Boone Bradham, regal, sedate, Who from the heights of her e teem Dare envision and effect a dream To mobilize task forces for the right, To help our communities with all our might.
As tenderly we opened this book, And into its pages did proudly look To honor our PEARLS-One through five, To recall their foresight to organ izc, To gain both insight and inspiration. Thus proudly ye end this dedication As we close our book for a year's duration But continue our love with no abatement.
Behold our National Shrine in the nation's capital, A youth program with which to grapple, A reclamation Project too, To make old Zetas shine like new, Then on and on in Africa With zeal and strength to try insure The hopes, the fears, the faith, the future Of African women and African culture.

MESSAGE FROM THE OFFICE OF GRAND BASILEUS But what we generally applaud in self-starters is the way they seize opportunities that others ignore. Today John T. Kuntz is selling French bread daily in more than 40 American cities and reaping his reward. He is living proof of the saying: "Even if the world owes you a living, you have to be your own collector." "We urge him to study the cases of people like him elf who found better ways of doing dull, routine jobs," Sheff said. "We try to make a man understand that there must be a better way of doing his job, whatever it is, and that if he wants to stand out among his colleague he has to find that better way. Once he starts actively seeking it, he has to that degree become a self-starter-and he is on his way up." Arthur Rubinstein is constanly re-recording compositions that he recorded with great success only a year or two earlier. Once when he told me he was about to re-record some Chopin mazurkas, I said in surprise that I couldn't see why; 1 thought his previous records of these had been perfect. "Nonsense," he said. "Once a man believes that he has achieved perfection, once he loses the motivation to do better, he may as well stop living. He has nothing more to contribute." This constant urge to do better, to accomplish more, is the priceless asset of the truly self-motivated person. lt is one of the things that make him colorfu I, dramatic, a profitable use of time. It is indeed a privilege to greet each Soror and focus for the future the importance, of being a "self-starter" in our world today.
This offers the opportunity for a broadscale examination of our education and scholarship program W.E.H.S., thus far. President Johnson made the statement several months ago-"a nation's grcatnes is measured by its concern for the health and welfare of its people. · This then is the question (or you as preceptors of the philosophy of responsibility for your brother's care." How effective are we in making common sense in looking out for Zetas-our undergraduates and our pledges. Is the service from lips only? Monetary dues and inadequate program? And, as each of us weighs the answer to the question, as we explore ramifications, we should make our appraisals and our judgements again t this background.
We all want to be considered self-starters; it's a normal bit of egotism. Practically all the pioneering figures who have i llurninatcd history have been selfstarters. The people who get to the top in anything aro self-starters. They earn the rewards, the power, the approbation. But what doc it take? What is the magic lucl that sets a person's inner engines to working? "One thing that marks a self-starter," one psychologist said, "is a desire to satisfy himself-his selfesteem or his con cicncc. He wants not only the high regard of other people; he must also have his own."
If we have failed to make common causes, why? Have we not common concerns, common responsibilities, common goals?
And once, he sets himself a course, the truly selfmotivated person usually proceeds with the utmost confidence. He has no intention of letting any obstacle stand in his way. When Charles Lindbergh completed the first trans-Atlantic flight, a newspaperman in paris called out,' Did you ever have any doubts that you'd reach Europe?" Lindbergh grinned and answered, "Do you think J'd have started if I thought J might make it only part way?"
We on the national level and you on the local level am partners-partners in Zeta. - There is no longer the neat, the safely bureaucratized definition o( structure that cxi ted years ago. The role of war as a catalyst of social change is perhaps the most dominant single factor we can conceive for it embraces the anti-ethical as well as the posiuvc. This produces, in a totally unexpected synthesis, a new shift in direction and emphasis.
Most self-starters, they say, seek the gratification of a personal ambition, perhaps of acquiring more luxuries, or of accumulating money, as the primary gauge of a succcsful l_ifc._ Others wish_ to _be r~cognizcd as leaders. This involves a desire for higher status and the love of public admiration-or even the admiration of some particular person. Some seek the sheer cxhilirntion of outdoing all competition: everybody likes to win a race. And then. there arc the fighting crusaders who have only a de ire to do what they believe is right.
Em 1phasis has turned from jobless and relief' programs to rehabilitation (self help), etc. Problems of juvenile delinquency, truancy and neglect were intensified by the breakup o( family life, and the need for manpower increased the force o[ working mothers. These problems arc national in scope and command a national program in implication and response.
7
We must also look at the change in Zeta in terms of its problems, its achievement and its future. Let me briefly cite our ten points:
vation-encouraging a reawakening of personal pride -of our organization that we can achieve and grow, by taking advantage of opportunities. We cannot simply leave our organization to its own resources while we retire to the cloister of our own smug self congratulations. Be a self-starter!
l. Leadership development-women and girls. 2. Undergraduate Council. 3. Affiliate Bodies.
We must improve the quality or our program invest more in Zeta for better employees and membership. Take a more farsighted view of the returns on our investment. The benefits may be difficult to measure; but, let us use the philosophy-we dare not fail to make the effort. We must utilize the, strength of all Zetas in dealing with opportunities. We must arouse their spirit, their confidence, their self esteem. This i the kind of food that will nourish them-develop leadership that can help provide such.
4. Evaluation and Structure. 5. Housing. 6. Budget and Finance. 7. Scholarship and Education. 8. Communication Tools. 9. Reclamation.
I would therefore urge you to look to the NEW YEAR with six basic points for immediate enactment:
10. W.E.H.S. The point is that the Federal Government had its new programs. No single chapter or person by the same token can prevail without a planned program. The expertise of all must be welded into a single instrument of common cause-of human service to our sorority.
1. Establish a good budget from the sorors, not not the public. 2. Make realistic plans far enough in advance for good planning to take place, resource people, facilities, other aids to get things moving.
We must have, if we are to succeed in our common cause, what I choose to call "critical cooperation." All Sorors have a moral and social responsibility in supporting the planning and coordination of activities needed for the succes ful prosecution or our ongoing crusade for Zeta's growth.
3. Do something next about your national program-how arc you tied in with the goals of national. 4. What about national budget and your obligation. Provide a budget so that national contact reflects your organization.
The founders and past basilei hand-carved out many highways. Today: we need to refurbish these and expand-four Jane in tead of two as we see in our nearby cornrnunities-c-oxpressways, etc. Otherwise traffic gets clogged up--stymied. We in Zeta need four lanes and more money to cut out expressways for more traffic-otherwise, we may have to increase the speed and give tickets to those holding up traffic. Should we do something about our slums in Zctadom -changing many old habits, attitudes, unhealthy comments-changing them with not just paint on the outside but new plumbing within. The point is moti-
5. Strengthen all corners of your various programs -expand them to meet community needs. 6. Attend local, regional and national meetings, adding helpful "critical cooperation" for the good of the Sorority. President Johnson said: "Today, for the first time in our history, we have the power to strike away the barriers to full participation in our ocicty." May I say, charity begins at home. Herc is the opportunity to achieve! Having the power, Zetas have the, duty!

was located. The Experiment Group consisted of twenty girls and ten boys between the ages of 16 and 18 years old. They had to be unmarried and in regular attendance during regular school terms. The enrollees were recruited from rural area high schools in communities located in close proximity to Goldsboro, N.C. They were required to have bad ten years of formal school training and come from the lower income Iarniiies. The girls were required lo live in a dormitory with supervision. The boys commuted each day. The enrollees were given many test experiences and basic orientation in the basics of good workmanship before they were allowed to go out in the city to work. They worked during the day on various work projects. At four o'clock in the afternoon they came back to headquarters for dinner, recreation and study. The study time was spent on Mathematics, English, Music and the development of better study habits. During the eight weesk these youths were given travel experience to the Capitol city of North Carolina. They visited the State Legislature Building, The Department of Education, The State Museum, The Art Museum, College Campuses and the State Park. These experiences did much to broaden the !horizon of these youths. Director of the Project was Miss Jean Ann Lewis from New York City.

directly reflected the work experience and education strategy. It represented a concerted effort to provide work experience, urban orientation, cultural enrichment and tutorial service. The summer orientation program wa for young people ranging in age from 16-18. There were a total of thirty participants, twenty-one girls and nine boys. The enrollees were recruited from rural high schools and/or communities located in close proximity of Goldsboro, North Carolina. The criteria for the selection of the enrollees followed, for the most part, the standards established for participants in a Neighborhood Youth Corps program. The Executive Committee of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority served in an advisory capacity in initiating the, program. The help given by our Grand Basileus, Sorer Mildred C. Bradham, National Coordinator of Special Project ; Soror Geneva B. Hamilton, and the local chapter, Zeta Chi Zeta, wa invaluable in the planning or the program, in formulating the proposal, in selecting the participants in the program and generally cooperating and advising in whatever ways were helpful or necessary. The project staff c nsisted of 14 persons, live of whom wore Zetas. The Zetas that participated were Sorors: Ethel Baldwin, Director of Tutoring; Margie W. Cowan, Secretary-Bookkeeper; Prcto] Edmonds, clerk-typist; Marcie. Phifer, cafeteria assistant and myself as the project director-historian. Soror Lucile Bryant, on a vol untccr basis, instructed the girls in art and crafts. Soror Betty J. Barr acted as a consultant. Basically the program operated as a work-study experience. The students worked six hours a day. The evenings were devoted to tutoring, recreation, music and orientation, and arts and crafts. The enrollees were placed at six public and private non-profit organization. For many this was their first real working experience outside of working on a farm. They were paid $ I .25 an hour. The work , upcrvisors were quite pleased with our enrollees. The following arc but a few of the comments made by them: "The worker has made a significant improvement in her personality. She is more outgoing." "My enrollee has performed her duties in an excellent manner. I would be proud to have her in my section any time." Some of the enrollees' comments were as follows: "IL has helped me in English and math. I believe I have gained more than I did during the school year.

A SYNOPSIS OF FINAL REPORT for "A Demonstration Project for Summer Urban Orienta lion and Work Experience for Rural Youth" Contract Number 42-7-014-35 June 30-August 30, 1967
by Soror Jean Ann C. Lewis Never before in my life have I been so proud to be a Zeta as I was this summer. As project directorhistorian l had a chance to implement one o( the basic I rinciplcs upon which our great Sorority was founded -service. Under the sponsorship of the Department of Labor, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority sought to meet the cries and demands of the rural youth through an eight-week program, ''A Demonstration Project for Summer Urban Orientation and Work Experience for Rural Youth" which held in Goldsboro, N. C. This was one, of l"ive in our entire Nation and therefore, Zetas can be justly proud or the work they have done! The following is a synopsis of our program ba: cd upon our final report which was received by the Depart mcnt or Labor without modifications. As you know, it is a well known and documented phenomenon that disadvantaged youth from low income families arc characterized by meager economic resources thus producing deleterious effects on their dcvck prucnt. In ;m effort to combat this war, rural youth seek the urban way of living. However, strategics must be employed to introduce them to and indoctrinate their rnindv, thinking ;111d living to meet the great demands placed upon them by the urban society. The Zeta program was one or those campaigns of war which 11

THE URBAN COALITION EXPRESSES AMERICA'S CONCERN opportunities for upward job mobility and to improve employee proJuctivity. Funds for training, education and counseling should b~ made available lo private industry as well as to public and private non-profit agencies. -Funds for employment should be made available to local and state governments, non-profit institutions and federal agencies able to demonstrate their ability to use labor productively without reducing existing levels of employment or undercutting existing labor standards or wages which prevail for comparable work or services in the area but arc not more than the federal minimu mwagc. -Such a program, should seek to qualify new cmto become part of the regular work force and that normal performance standards arc mot. - The operation of the program should be keyed to specific, localized unemployment problems and focused initially on those areas where tho need is most apparent. In addition, the call was sent to ongrcss to expedite action in providing full funding for the poverty program, the rent supplement program and Model iucs.

In support of the job program, the Urban Coalition Emergency Convocation, held in Washington on August 24th, and attended by 1,000 representatives of busine sand industry, organized labor, religious groups, local government and civil rights organizations, endorsed a Declaration of Principles, Goals and Commitments which called for legislation consistant with the following principles: -The federal government must enlist the coopcration of government at all levels and of private industry to assure that meaningful, productive work is available to everyone willing and able to work. -To create sociallv useful jcbs, the emergency work program should concentrate on the hugh backlog of employment needs in parks, streets, slums, countysidc, schools, colleges, libraries and hospitals, To this end, and emergency work program should be: initiated and should have as its first goal putting at least one million of the presently unemployed into producti vc work at tho earl icst possible moment. The program must provide meaningful jobs, not dead-end, make work projects- so that the employment experience gained adds to the capabilities and broadens the opportunities of the employees to become productive members of the permanent work force of our nation, Busic education. training and counseling must be an i ntcgrul purl o( the program to assure extended 1 2

age and over, living together and working together." "I think that this program is just doing wonders for me, and I like the program very much." "I would like for the adults to know I am very appreciative to them and the organization for organizing such a program." In addition to the local tours we toured Raleigh, the State Capitol, and to the· seat of American History, Williamsburg, Virginia. The trips served to broaden their horizons and for some this was the first real travel experience they had had. The termination of the program began with a smorgasbord the night before the enrollees left for home. This was a new experience for all o[ them. One commented that he had never seen so much and so many varieties of food in his life. Our program closed with a culmination exercise and tea. The Mayor Pro 'Tern, Mr. "Dutch" Lewis, brought greetings on behalf or the City of Goldsboro. Our Grand Basilcus was our keynote speaker. She brought an excellent message to the enrollees. Despite the thunderstorrru more than 200 persons attended our
CARE-(Cooperative for American Remittance Everywhere) informed us as of July 7, 1967 that "written permission has been given by the President of Liberia for a building situated on the corner of Lynch and Ashmum Streets, Monrovia, for the Zeta School Project." The building contains six rooms, a small storeroom and a restroom. Our West African Regional Director, Dr. A. Doris Banks Henreis, told the, C.A.R.E. Mission Chief, in Liberia, "That within the local chapter of Zetas there are enough members with experience who will instruct the students until the Department of Education can arrange for a full time professional instructor. "The Domestic Science Center will have a dual purpose: first, to train unskilled young women and girls in domestic science, providing them with an opportunity to become self-supporting; secondly, mothers will be trained in health, nutrition and child care. tfhe 'challenge' for Zetas is to provide such items as stoves, a large, refrigerator, cabinets, a floor polisher, ceiling fans, a. water heater, a metal sink with plumbing, steam irons, utensils for cooking and mixing, garbage cans, buckets, tea kettles, tahleware, glasses and dishes, also furniture for the kitchen, dining room, etc. These items arc commonplace enough to us, but to the Liberians who will study at the center they represent the 'uncommon'."

A I though the Sum mer program placed tremendous responsibility on both the enrollees and the staff, it was a challenging and rewarding experience for all involved. The continuation of programs of th is nature i · a dire necessity to aid in the proper development of our youth to take their place in the mainstream ol our compelx society. It is programs like these that combat the long "hot summer."

BLACK POWER OR HUMAN POWER? So much has been said in recent months about Black Power. Many youth who have championed the cause have reminded audiences of the role that minority groups have played in developing the concept of "ethnic" voting blocks and political power. In celebrating Columbus Day in our largest American city, New York, much was made over the fact that Columbus was Italian. Politicians of every persuasion appealed to the "Italian vote" for support. A week or two earlier these same political hopefuls were appealing to those of Polish decent as they celebrated the help received in the eighteenth century by Pulaski. And so it goes, the history of United States is replete with illustrations emphasizing the power of sub-groups within our society. Perhaps one of the most notable illustrations in recent vears came with the election of John Fitzgerald Kennedy to the presidency. He made no secret of the fact that it was necessary to prove that a Catholic could be objective if elected to the highest office in our country, for he had studied the problems Al Smith had faced in an earlier era.
Deborah Partridge Wolfe
So it was not surprising to see the largest racial minority in America calling upon its membership to unite so that the strength of their numbers might be fe.lt. as "Black Power." We, who have historically dedicated ourselves to the belief in the rights of the minority in a democracy, would recognize that America has truly fallen short in obtaining equality and justice for all. Even after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as a result of cumulative effort and many notorious infractions of justice, black men were denied the rights and privilege defined in the public law. Hence Congress had to return in 1965 to pass another law, only to find that this too was not being fully obeyed even by those who were paid a "law-enforcement officers." Yes, more than a hundred years after Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, millions of Black men were being denied their constitutional right .
to find themselves defeated? Surely twenty million persons unified could exercise their "Black Power." But can any one group really succeed alone? Can justice come to some without coming for all? Is fro-dam divisible? Is not voluntary segregation of the blacks damaging to the blacks who are a part of a multi-cultural society? . Can a small minority armed with weapons lastingly overpower the majority? Authoritic have told us that "segregation is a strange but ignificant form of dehumanization. It is a striking example of mankind's most disa trous in, the dualistic approach to life that separates body from spirit, dark from light, action from thought." We must not build new walls which impede our communication and understanding. We must not allow segregation to tear down the bridges that were beginning to be built through improved legislation and more determined enforcement of the law as demonstrated by the Justice Department in recent years. We must not let violence superccdc non-violence and orderly demonstrations in our struggle for freedom, and full equality. "Black Power" must be interested in "human powcr"-thc power of men united in a common cause for making democracy work.
The feeling of urgency was intensified by the very nature of the world social scene, of 1966. For as American black men were dying in Vietnam in an effort to free a nation from tyranny, their own brothers were suffering at the hands of fellow Americans right here on our own shores. While new African nations were being admitted to the United Nations, their black African citizen viewed the plight of their black American brothers in our land. Truly, America's black youth looked anew to their future and its possibilities.
When our founding father had the words of Leviticus inscribed on tho Liberty Bell, our symbol of independence and freedom, they realized that America would achieve greatness only in proportion a we "proclaim liberty throughout the land and to all the inhabitants thereof."
They had been encouraged in 1963 as they joined hands with civil rights groups and marched down Constitution Avenue; they had jumped for joy as civil rights legislation was pas cd; and their hearts had been gladdened as new jobs had opened to egroes. Yet they had to grieve as new incidents occurred to mar race relations not only in tho traditionally segregated South, but all throughout the nation. ln desperation they lashed forth. Had their parents, grandparents, great grandparents and even great-great grandparents labored in vain? Had Crispus Attucks, Frederick Dougla ·s, ojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman and thousands of others sacrified for nothing? Had their fellow college tudents led boycotts and sit-ins only 14
ZETA'S SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM FORGES AHEAD "We have entered an age in which education is not just w luxury permitting some men a,n advantage over others. 1 t has become a necessity without which a person is defenseless in this complex, imdustriolized. society .... We have truly entered the Century of the Educated Mnn." President Lyndon B. Johnson, April, 1964 In this period of added and increased emphasis upon excellence in all areas of life, and at a time when competition is keenest in this unstable society, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. is striving to make a notable contribution, by encouraging more of its undergraduates to compete, perform and excel by using its National Scholarship Program to finance the cause. It has been gratifying to note that there has been an increased number o( undergrads who have gone through the step by step procedure to secure this benefit. There are till countless others, l am sure who are in need, but have just not taken out the time to request National Zeta Scholarships. This office along with the able assistance of our Grand Basileus revised the application forms to meet the demands of our changing times. The following deadlines are being established when applying for National Zeta Scholarships:

Soror Margurite Washington, $350.00. Soror Zandra Mar hall, $500.00. We arc indeed proud o( Soror Zandra Marshall, an Undergraduate sorer at Hampton Institute who received $500.00 scholarship to study abroad in the "Junior Year Abroad" program al L'lnstitute de Touraine in Tours, France of which honor students in their Junior second semester may study in Europe to pursue credits in their respective major and minor courses. Our Soror, Dr. Nancy D. McGhcc is a member of the Foreign Study Committee. We arc most appreciative to Dr. McGhce for making it possible for many of our sorors and friends to participate in the Summer Humanities Program at Hampton Institute. There am voluminous scholarships, loans and all types of financial assistance which can be received by just requesting information from Stale Boards of Education or the Office o( Education, Washington, D.C. A number of private groups, institutions and organizations offer financial assistance to qualified college students. The United States Department of Health, Education and Welfare and other ovcrnmcnt agencies also provide financial aid for study in specific areas. The four pr grams of federal assistance in financing a college education arc: I. ollcgc Work-Study: A Program. o( Employment.
The following is a description of the first program, namely College Work-Study: A Program of Employment: Students, particularly those from low,income families, who need a job to help pay for college expenses are, potentially eligible for employment by their colleges under federally supported Work-Study Programs. Students may work up to 15 hours full time (40 hours per week) during the summer or during other vacation periods when they do not have classes. The basic pay rate if $1.25 an hour, although up to $3.00 may be· paid for highly specialized work. In three months of summer employment, under the Work-Study Program, an eligible student could earn approximately $600.00, if needed. This amount supplemented by his weekly earnings during the school year, could help provide total educational co ts including necessary clothes, transportation and personal expenses. Work may be for the institution or for an approved off-campus agency. On-campus job can include· work in dining halls, laboratories, libraries and maintenance. Off-campus jobs are assigned in public or non-profit organizations and include work in health, welfare and recreation programs and in Community Action Programs. To work under this program, a student mu t be enrolled and be in good standing or bo accepted for enrollment as a full-time student, at a college which participates in the program. The student's eligibility depends upon his need for employment to defray college cxpen cs, with preference given to applicants from low-income families. A detailed description o[ the other programs will be listed in the next issue. Keep your eyes and cars tuned to our Scholarship ection and watch us go.

EASTERN REGIONAL CONFERENCE WELL ATTENDED The Golden Triangle Motor Hotel was the scene of the annual Eastern Regional Conference of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., May, 1967 at Norfolk, Virginia, with Beta Theta Zeta and Zeta Gamma chapters hostesses. Delegates from North Carolina, West Virginia, the District of Columbia and other cities in Virginia were in attendance. In spite of the date conflicting with graduation activities of many colleges, sorors were present one hundred and ten strong. We appreciate their loyal support and their contribution to a successful meeting. Our National Theme: "New Dimension -The Forword Look" was discussed in the open public session with Soror Emily Turner, National Project Director, moderator; Mrs. Jean Boone, Assistant to Director, Richmond Urban League and Dr. Melvin Humphrey, Director of STOP Program, Norfolk, panelists. Zetas were challenged by both speakers to become more active in the work necessary for improved community relations in areas other than those that our jobs require. We mu t do more for our own people in our immediate neighborhoods. Three Work hops met simultaneously: Communication Skills with our Public Relations Director, Soror Irma B. Thompson, Leader; Profit-Sharing Experiences, Soror Ora Middleton, Leader; Association Director and Undergraduate Workshop with Soror Ruth M. Gore, Coordinator of Activities, leader. Many vital issues were discussed and attempts made to solve some of the problems and information shared. As usual we felt that we could have used more of that precious commodity-time.

SCHOOL RENAMED FOR SOROR HANBERRY Bethel School at Blythewood, South Carolina, has been renamed "Hanberry High School" in honor of Soror Annie E. Hanberry, principal for 31 years. The action became official May 24th in ceremonies at the final P.T.A. meeting of the year. Superintendent Cyril 0. Havird, acting on behalf of patrons and trustees of Richland County School District 2, presented Soror Hanberry a plaque to commemorate the occasion. A Columbia native, Soror Hanberry earned her bachelor's degree from Benedict College and taught briefly at Finley High School in Chester before becoming principal at Bethel. She later earned a master's degree from Columbia University in New York City. Hanberry High School has a current enrollment of approximately 1,000. Soror Hanberry is the wife of Dr. T. J. Hanberry, Benedict College acting president during the two academic years following the death of the late President J. A. Bacoats.
\
"Mrs. Hanberry richly deserves this honor," Superintendent Havird told the audience during the P.T.A. Ceremonies. "She has been a dedicated educator and has had a wonderful influence on the lives of the pupils and teachers who have had tho privilege of an association with her." Soror Hanberry, a member of Beta Beta Zeta Chapter of Columbia, South Carolina, is Regional Director of the Southeastern Region.

ATLANTIC REGION "Women in Community Service" was the theme of the Atlantic Regional Conference held at the Benjamin Franklin Hotel, Philadelphia, October, 1967. This theme was chosen because community action is a DlMENSION of Sorority program and an integral part or the TEN-POINT PROGRAM of Grand Basilcus, Mildred C. Bradham. The Sorors and Arnicac or the Region displayed their abilities to entertain on Friday evening with Zeta pep songs, skits and readings. On Saturday, National representatives and committee chairmen reflected in their reports Zeta's involvement in crvice activities, such as: Zetas 'Family Life Center, operating with Bootstrap in Goodsboro, N. C. Support of the Zeta School Program in Monrovia, Africa. The Mary McClcod Bethune Memorial Project Regional Chapter community action programs. The luncheon speaker, Mrs. Mattie Humpries, closely associated with the Anti-Proverty Program in Phialdelphia, brought a grass-roots approach to concerns about service as well as helpful suggestions for Zeta involvement. Special guests were the Grand Basileus, Mildred C. Bradham; Founders Arizona Stcmons, Fannie Watts and Myrtle Faithful; Soror Deborah P. Wolfe, immediate Past Grand Basilcus; Soror Pansy Borders, Chairman Trustees; Soror Alice Roye, Trustee; Soror Anita Anderson, writer of the National Hymn; Soror Gladys Warrington, First initiated Zeta; and Past Grand Basilci Joanna Ransom and S. Evelyn Lewis. Soror Josephine Shumate and other Sorors of the Great Lakes Region and Undergraduates of the Eastern Region were also guests.

and politics, the status of women, health services and human relations. As experts from virtually all sections of the Nation discussed issues of the times; many salient familiar facts were reiterated. The organization and dialogue of the workshops were much the same as experienced at the recent Zeta Boule in Baton Rouge. It is becoming increasingly necessary for organizations to be knowledgeable, vocal, involved and committed to action in today's difficult challenges. Social action is the by-word. The workshops offered expertise, dialogue and encouragement for middle class Negro women to utilize their black power to bring about helpful, orderly and mcani ngful change.
Beta Delta Zeta Chapter of Philadelphia hosted the Conference with Sorer Esther Wilson as Regional Marshal. Soror Arthalia Lott is Regional Director.
ZETAS OBSERVE AT DELTA CONVENTION
Deltas, as well as visiting observers were urged to help turn the tide of racism; help people understand each other so we may live together in a world of difference and change; help improve the status of women; become active in establishing programs to train youth and aid the, elderly; work for open housing and volunteer for services were ever needed.
by ARTHALIA LOTT Director, Atlantic Region "Organized Negro women have the power to effect great change through their groups, if their black power is uti lizcd and directed toward existing problems." This is the message that was expounded to Greeks, com 111 unity agencies and National organizations, who were guests of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority at their 29th convention in Cincinnati, Ohio, August, 1967.
Senator Charles Percy from Jllinois expressed these thoughts in capsule form when he said "First things first." "Let's fight the battle of fear, ignorance and poverty in our own country." Inviting observers to the conference who could attend all sessions except the business ones was an innovation. I was glad to represent Zeta along with Soror Billie Robinson, Co-Boule Marshal for the 1968 Boule.
The two-day workshops were an important feature of the conference and concentrated on the influence and power of women in a society confronted by differences and change, beset by bitterness, racism, fear and hatred. These differences were discussed from all directions-education, housing, employment and training, foreign policy, civil rights, voter education 19
MIDWESTERN REGIONAL DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE We as Zeta women mu t not be baffled by these changes, rather we must interpret these changes and be ready to direct them into creative channels. We must learn new concepts o( life. We must grasp the revolutionary ideas which call for love, sacrificial selfgiving and for respect for human beings as persons. 1 am especially proud of those chapters who have had vision and who have used it in presenting stimulating and challenging program . We must become involved in mankind for there· can b eno isolation from social action for anyone of us today. As John Donne wrote "No man is an island, entire of itself: every man i a piece of the continent, a part of the main ... becau e l am involved in mankind; and therefore never cem to know for whom the boll tolls; it tolls for thee."
Soror Jewel Livingston
Grand Basileus Bradham has challenged us to explore the theme: "New Di men ions: The Forward Look." Change is so much a part of life that everything is either transformed or it dies. Changes have taken place in almost every phase of human experience in our modern world, today. The explosion of science has caused more changes during our lifetime than those which resulted from the tremendous impact of the entire industrial revolution. The relea c of energy in the nuclear age has transformed the total scope of life and living for our time and many years to come. The history of man, his institutions and his systems arc indicative of the developments in the change process. A first-century school is inadequate for 20th century living. Medieval Science is no longer feasible in this modern world. What one wa as a child-tends to condition what one becomes as an adult. But the proof of adulthood is in the quality of the change that has taken place since childhood. We know that change can evolve, it can be evolutionary, it can be as violent as the accepted definition of the word "revolution" implies, but whatever form the recolution takes depends entirely on man's willingness to change and grow. When it comes to social change-our youth of today is the focal point of attention. List year more than 300,000 youngsters between 14 and 18 years of age were brought before the courts on criminal charges. It is estimated that another hundred thousand should have been brought in, but their families managed to keep them out of court. The disturbed, neglected, maladjusted youth who become the victims and the tools of tho viciously criminal leader arc all under the same public condemnation. We must work at the church, community, state and national level to effect a remedy.

SOUTH CENTRAL REGION NEWS Nu Zeta Chapter, Knoxville, Tennessee
Soror Erma Ross served for the fourth consecutive year as Director of the Knoxville Summer Tutorial Program. This program is designed purposely at providing free, summer school courses for secondary school students who work. Fourteen different courses were offered, from which the one hundred, seventy-five students made their own choice of courses taken. Many of the students attended other summer schools during the daytime, ju t as many of them were employed by day, but were attracted to the Tutorial Program in the evenings from Monday through Thursday from 5:00 to 8:45 P.M. No credits were gained, no grades were given, and no pressures were found-as a result, the classes well deserved the title of "Tutorial Program" and the students and teachers became very well acquainted with each other. Even though the requested funds from the Office of Economic Opportunity were not available for the 1967 session, Soror Ross and her twenty tutors including our Sigma Brother Herbert C. Alexander, were the dedicated tutors who worked without compensation. South Central Region highly praise and commend Soror Erma Ross for her leadership and service in this Community Program.

Plans arc in thcmaking now to send to you some definite instructions in regard to pledging and initiation. It is our hope that by cementing our program on the campuses across the country, we will be able to strengthen each chapter.

ZETA SALUTES SOROR ELIZABETH D. KOONTZ "I knew then that teaching was for me!" Elizabeth D. Koontz was only a fourth-grade pupil in Salisbury, N. C., she explained recently, when her decision on a professional career was so definite. Little could she have dreamed that the long road ahead would some day lead her to the position of president-elect of the country's largest professional organization, the million-member National Education Association. Mrs. Koontz, who was elected at the NEA's 105th annual convention in Minneapolis, Minn., in July, 1967, will in 1968 become president of the Association, the first Negro ever to hold this high position. She will succeed Braulio Alonso of Tampa, Florida. A teacher of retarded children in Salisbury, "Libby" Koontz brings three decades of educational experience to her new tasks. That experience includes having served as president of the NEA's largest unit, the 850,000-member Department of Classroom Teachers, which changed its name to Association of Classroom Teachers at Minneapolis. She is serving a three-year term on the National Advisory Council on the Education of Disadvantaged Children, a post to which she was appointed by President Johnson. In 1965 she participated in the White House Conference on Education in Washington. In July, 1964, Mrs. Koontz was one of J6 Americans who visited the Soviet Union at the request of the Saturday Review magazine. The group held informal discussions with the Russians on ways to improve relations between the two countries. Two years earlier, as a guest of Die Berliner Lchrerorganisationen, the West Berlin Teachers Association, she represented NEA in observing the effects of the Berlin Wall on education. The NEA leader is a member of the National Council for Exceptional Children, and its North Carolina chapter; the Family Life, Council of Rowan County (North Carolina); and the National Association for Retarded Children. She has served on the North Carolina Governor's Commission on the Status of Women. In 1965, she was made an honorary member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority. Editor's Note: Soror Koontz was gracious, demure and the cpitonmc of Finer Womanhood, as she made her acceptance speech at the same lectern arranged for the Vice-President of the United States!
