Alpha Phi Alpha
By William Nelson
Two weeks ago, the probation
period for the Alpha Phi Al
pha Fraternity took on a nev/
trend, for the campus chapter
of A. Phi A. changed its tradi
tional probation period from the!
usual “Hell Week” to “Help
Week.” The president of the
Gamma Beta chapter, Levonne
Chambers, along with a commit
tee composed of Walter Brown,
Samuel Chess, David Morgan,
Wendell Neal and William Nel
son, completely revamped the
“Hell Week” probation activi
ties, bringing in the “Help
Week” idea.
This new probation period in
cluded writing letters for the*
sick at Lincoln Hospital aft4
performing menial tasks for
needy families and churches.
The members of the Gamma
Beta chapter believe that fra
ternity activities and ideas must
be in keeping with the modern
trend toward practical probation'
week activities. Many of the fra
ternal organizations in some of
the larger colleges and universi
ties have also changed their pro
bation period from “Hell Week”
to “Help Week.” The local Al
phas are first in instituting this
much needed constructive pro
gram at North Carolina College.

Around The City
With Bets...
By BETSY PAGE
All of a sudden, it’s dark be
fore the afternoon is half over,
there’s a festive nip in the air,
and the parcels people are
parrying all gift-wrapped-evi-
dence that Christmas will be
here before you know it. If
you’re all like me, you’ll agree
with me when I say the
stretch between the two holi
days is the most exasperating
time of year. You haven’t quite
recovered from the Thanks
giving holiday and you’re trying
to decide what approach to use
on the folks at home Christmas;
The basketball season de
scends upon you in full force
and yet football championships
haven’t been fully decided; you
haven’t caught up with the as
signments that you should hav^
done Thanksgiving, but you’re
going to get that notebook in.
before you go home for Christ
mas. Then there are concerts,
plays, talent shows and a
thousand and one other social
functions that the “well-round-
ed collegian” must attend.
There are only twenty-four
hours in a day.
Suddenly you find it almost ^
impossible to cram all of it in"
and that familiar old phrase?
“wait ’til next year” comes to
mind. Well, if you’re a senior,
you’re coming in on the home
stretch and the phrase doesn’t
quite work. So what’s the solu
tion? I hadn’t figured it out
