“The Greeks”
Alpha Kappa Alpha; The
Gamma Lambda chapter of
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority,
Inc., has just ended a successful
fund raising project which was a
candy sale. Their current service
project is daily visits to Sunrise
Towers on Qaremont Avenue by
groups of a few members who
help with their lunch program.
They distribute milk and other
commodities to the Senior
citizens. They also make sure
that everyone is served. A
tenative project for Halloween
will be to select children from the
community and take them Trick-
or-Treating. Various other
service projects will be co
sponsored during the year by the
brothers of Alpha Kappa Alpha,
Alpha Phi Alpha. Miss Ivy this
year is Ms. Marsha Hayes, from
Lenoir, North Carolina.
Alpha Phi Alpha; Two of the
brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha
Fraternity, Inc., were presented
in a moving Black Poetic
Experience on October 2L They
were Cecil Summers and Mike
Mason. Presently, The brothers
are working on a plan which will
allow them to work with the Red
Shield Boy’s Club on a November
5 Carnival. The Director of the
group is Mr. Don Moore. As
always as the festivities
approach, they are getting their
“wines and dines” ready for
Homecoming. They will be dead
into the Homecoming spirit.
Fraternity brother Dick Gregory
will be at A & T State University
in the near future. They ask all
Rams for support.
Delta Sigma Theta; The ladies
of Delta Sigma Theta are
presently involved with the
campus and community with
various service and fund raising
projects. For example, they are
raffling tickets for the Graham
Central Station show to a lucky
winner. Free tickets to the
Friday night show in the
Coliseum will certainly be a
prize. In addition to the raffle, the
Deltas will be selling some
colorful red and white WSSU
Ram penants during the
Homecoming season. They only
cost 75c.
Kappa Alpha Psi; The annual
fall talent show sponsored by the
brothers of Delta Chi is now
underway. All persons interested
in participating are asked to
submit their names to Charles
Wadelington or any other
brother. The dates for auditions
and rehearsals have not been set.
The brothers hosted a dinner in
the Kennedy Dining Hall on
Sunday, October 13 for their
court, the Kappa Kittens, and all
members of the fraternity.
Outstanding persons affiliated
with the fraternity for the month
of October are; Kappa of the
Month - Charles Young, Kitten of
the Month - Gloria Ross,
Sweetheart of the Month - Mickey
Flowers, Miss K ay - Eugenia
Parker.
Omega Psi Phi: About two
weeks ago, the Omega Psi Phi
Fraternity helped the Circle K. &
Key Club of Winston-Salem
sponsor a food and clothes drive
for the people of Honduras. They
have been working in the
community on various other
projects also. The fraternity has
an engagement to help re-model
one of the surrounding senior
citizens home next month.
Omega Psi Phi has a lot in store
for the campus and when it hits,
the campus will “rock!” They
are asking everyone to “please
be on the lookout for that Old
Gold and Royal Purple, in the
city and on campus because it
will definitely blind you!”
Phi Beta Sigma: October is a
very important month for Phi
Beta Sigma as they celebrate
“Social Action Month.” The
purpose of the month locally and
nationally is to draw attention to
the many inequalities of the
American system of justice and
to point out the achievements of
Blacks in overcoming those
obstacles. During the month they
are saluting Sigmas who have
contributed greatly to the
advancement of Blacks including
James Weldon Johnson, George
Washington Carver, A. Phillip
Randolph, mayor Howard Lee
and Julian Bond. Special honor is
given to Stevie Wonder whose
music has been a unifying force
in the Black Struggle. November
will see the fraternity involved in
many projects particularly with
the elderly.
Zeta Phi Beta: The ladies of
blue and white have conducted a
series of bake sales over the past
two weeks. Items such as candy
apples and brownies were sold.
As always, the Zetas are
continuing their work with the
community in various projects.
Once such tenative community
project will be to take small
children from the Winston-Salem
community Trick-or-Treating on
Halloween night. Reigning queen
of Zeta Phi Beta for 1974-75 is Ms.
Carol Everette, a senior from
Goldsboro, North Carolina.

on Wednesday, November 6, at
the convention center. In the
future, they plan to host a
carnival for the University
kindergarten children.
Entertainment will be provided
by the Grooves.

The Challenge
Fur the first time since my capture into slavery, I see you Black
Woman, for your strength, but most important I see me for my
weakness.
For the first time I realize the power of your love that endured so
long, that waited patiently for my resurrection from my mental death.
For the first time. Ebony Woman, I can appreciate that gentle,
quiet, serenity of your tender moments that I placidly called
ignorance.
For the first time, Ebony I^dy, I see a deep value of self respect
during our tender moments, that 1 coldly regarded as frigidness.
Yes, for the first time. Black Woman, I can regenerate a
mechanized love with you into a passionate love for you.
But we face a challenge Black Woman, now that I can begin to truly
love you. Please meet me halfway.
Don’t Kive up on me. If I stumble along the way, it is only because
this path is new to me, and in my effort to renew this love lost 1 am
deceived like you, along the way.
Meet the challenge Black Woman. 1 stand here waiting. I know your
new found beauty is in great demand now for the first time, and many
wish to exploit it. But now, I can truly appreciate and cherish it.
Come take my hand, let us find our way together as none before us
could do. Nothing is in our way now.
Now with our eyes truly open, let us love with respect and true
affection.
Loving You,
Your New Black Man

Whatever the age
The wound is healed
And the suffering is forgotten
Offspring have been produced
And reproduced by some
Death’s dominance no longer
Plagues because lifes one
Dimensional form no longer
exits.
Glands and emotions have long
Since been dried up and
Blown away.
by Kenneth Holt
Love is the seed of Life and
being so it fills the soul with
rhapsodies of beauty, forever is
how long love lasts, but I believe
forever is nothing but a day in
this maze we call time, forever is
this moment of infatuation I have
for you, infatuated by you is What
I am you may say I’m an
infatuated fool for I believe I’m in
love with a dream to me is the
beauty and serenity of ectasy,
awake me not from this for this is
all I want fooUsh as it may seem
its just my dream.
by James Williams
CAN WE UNITE
As one body towards
One goal which is
Togetherness my
Dear, Unite with me.
Let’s agree on this
That if we can unite
Then we truly
Will have freedom
From ourselves and no
One will suffer. Truth
Form within us and let’s
Begin to come together
And unite with me.
by D. Hargrave
Why is it so difficult for me now
to compose one small drop of my
soul?
Can it be that my mind is
running out of the vital liquid of
thought?
Were my mind to ferment with
energy, efficiency...
Instead, my brain rots in its
gourd, while maggots of sleep
Invade and steal the helpless
meat.
Victoroius they are, as they
spill over the rim.
