THE ARCHON - JUNE, 1963
We've heard it said, many, many times, that it i a woman's perogrativc to change her mind. l don't know just how well this phrase will apply to Zeta's Africa Tour or to Sorer Frcddye Henderson's ability to make last minute arrangements for such a grand undertaking, but, I'm willing to bet that in the excitement of the Boule and the impending departure date, someone is going to decide, at the last minute, to include themselves in on the three continent tour which covers Europe, South America and Africa. These "Jannie come lately's" will be unable to resist the lure of such famous ports of call as Kingston, Jamaica; Caracas, Venezula; Lisbon, Madrid, Dakar, Monrovia, Rome, Paris and London. lt's not easy to shrug oil such a romantic and exciting adventure. And with so much of the world's attention focused on the independence and growth of the African nations, our hunger for eyewitness and authoritative knowledge of current situations is a compelling force which will weigh heavily in our decision to join the tour. All of your arrangements for participating in the tour should have been completed about a month ago, but if the good old American habit of "getting around the rules" is still in force, then you might check with Soror Henderson to see if she can't get you a seat on one of those KLM Royal Dutch jets. One thing that Zetas don't change their mind about is progress. The reports which come across an ARCH0N editor's desk show a definite determination in this direction. Once in a while we find little anecdotes which were never meant for anything more than relaxed conversation, and we never get around to publishing them. We do have one story that is so significantly "Zeta", that we're going to pass it on to you, in this relaxed moment. At a recent meeting of a selection committee for a west coast beauty contest several attractive young ladies, mostly at the college level, presented themselves for interviws. They discussed their intentions regarding the contest and also, their ambitions. Most used the very general terms such as, "I want to be a teacher," "I want to be a secretary," "I want to get married and settle down." All of these thoughts are quite commendable and the selection committee gave each individual due consideration. One of the applicants for the contest was a Zeta. This personable young miss told the committee, in her interview, that she was completing her studies for a master's degree in mathematics. Her next tep was to earn a Ph.D. After that, she was going into research work. She was currently employed, part-time, as a research assistant in a scientific field which interested her (and over awed the committee). She didn't feel that her career ambitions and beauty contest interests were incompatible and, even though she did aspire toward "intellectualism," she did not have the sl ightcst intention or "becoming an intellectual fuddy-duddy". You'll have to compose your own punch line for this vignette, the committee adjourned, temporarily, for coffee. We arc this close to our 43rd Aniversary Boule at Miami, Florida. The plans for the affair are very complete and exciting. Miami Zetas arc going all out to insure the success of this affair. You'll find the complete details inside Tl!E ARCII0N. All that there is left for me to do is to echo the slogan of the hostess chapcr. Beta Tau Zeta, "By The Sea, in '63". I'll sec you there. PAGE ONE

SOROR LINA BELLE STEWART Gamma Omicron Zeta of East Orange, New Jersey, mourns the loss of our dear soror who departed this life November 27, 1962 in Newark, New Jersey. She was born in Jacksonville, Florida and was a graduate of Winston-Salem Teachers' College where she was awarded the Bachelor of Arts Degree in Home Economics with highest honors. Soror Stewart first began her long career of twenty-nine years in the field of education at Morrison County Training School of North Carolina. She was later appointed Chairman and Director of the Home Economics Department of Lee County Training School of Sanford, N.C. It was here that Lina Belle came into her own as a dedicated servant in the field of education. From this institution, she trained scores of young women who today are teachers and dietitians in many schools, hospitals and industries all over this country. Our Lina Belle completed her work in education at Central Avenue School in Newark. This beloved soror used her many God-given talents as an active member of many worthwhile organizations. She was a member of St. Matthews Methodist Church, the National Association of College Women, New Jersey Teachers' Association, and was President for six terms in the Private Albert Harvey Post 2139 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars from which she received many local and national awards for her distinctive leadership and services.

Grambling Zetas Report Progress Psi Beta and Epsilon Alpha Zeta chapters really started the year off with a bang. Having initiated fourteen sorors in December, Psi Beta had great plans in mind. Full of enthusiasm and working toward an ideal, "Finer Womanhood." the chapters set out to make 1963 a year that will be long remembered. The first big event or the year was Finer Womanhood celebration, beginning on February 17, and lasting until March 9, as declared by the Grand Busilcus, Dr. Deborah P. Wolfe. Ph.D. All sorors worked diligently to prepare a display which became the center or attraction at the Grambling College Library. The display was centered around our objectives, with the Grand Basilcus
as the main figure. Finer Womanhood observance was pre-climaxed by our annual Vesper Service in the college auditorium, Sunday, February 25. The speaker for this event was Soror Tommie Morton Allen, Director of the Library Science program at Southern University. March ! 5 marked another elegant occasion for all Zetas. This was the date of the annual Debutantcs' Ball, sponsored by Epsilon Alpha Zeta chapter. Twenty-five beautiful and talented young ladies were presented to society. The ball was followed by a breakfast in the Student Union Building. This was indeed an occasion to be remembered by all.
The Upsilon chapter of Marshall, Texas is sad because of the passing of one who was a living example of service. In the death of Soror P. D. Johnson Williams, we have lost a dynamic leader, an inspiring member, and a dear friend of our sorority. When she could, she came to lend encouragement. She always contributed to the causes for which we worked. We share in the sorrow of many friends and co-workers throughout the world. Never did we f.ace such a challenge to ultimate values of life, never did we have to think so deeply or work so hard as we shall have to in the years ahead, if we are lo live in dignity and usefulness. It is our prayer that God will raise up those who will devote themselves, as she did, to the work. We place sweet flowers by her side, thus showing our appreciation of her worth, and of our love for her. May God be praised for her life and service.
