By ROAMLESS HUDSON
The Gamma Beta Chapter of
the Alpha Fraternity, Inc., has
begim a year’s work once more
and has planned many activities
yvhich are cultviral and social in
their aspects.
Fraternity members helped
the infirmary staff dviring the
height of the Flu epidemic. This
aid was in the form of coxmting
linen, mixing medicine and
checking temperatures of the pa
tients.
On Simday, October 6, the fra
ternity sponsored a movie in B.
N. Duke auditorium. This func
tion proved to be a great success.
Alpha members are hoping to
uphold the fraternity’s great
ideals this year. These ideals de
clare that Alphas are, “first of
all, servants of all, we shall
transcend all.”

Changed Moniker
By DELOIS E. ECHOLS
Do not get confused if, when
reading the bulletin boards, pos
ters, and other notices, you do
not see the name “Future Teach
ers of America.” No longer is
this name used. Instead, you
will see the name “Student Na
tional Education Association.”
The name “Future Teachers of
America” was changed at the
last annual meeting of the pa
rent body. The National Educa
tion Association of the United
States. This sponsoring body
thought it best and more appro
priate to call our organization by
the above name. Nevertheless, if
you are pls;,?):9’ra to be a future
teacher, and if you wish to be
come a full-pledged member of
this all-inspiring organization,
join today!
CHIDLEY HML BRIEFS
Chidley Hall held open house

from 2-5. This was the first in a
series of programs announced by
Roamless Hudson, Dormitory
Government President, in a re

The rest of the program in
cludes (1) a series of free movies
for all NCC students (2) a Work
shop for Better Living Among
Dormitory Men—a conference
type project which will include
student and personnel delegates
from all Cl A A schools and (4) an
athletic Recognition Ball to be
held near the end of the year in
honor of the most outstanding
athletes.
Just recently Mrs. Valeria
Berry received a letter from the
secretary of the Oxford Colored
Orphanage thanking her for the
clothing contribution the Chidley
Hall residents presented to them
last year. For the benefit of all
the letter is presented here:
“It is' a pleasure for us to
formally acknowledge the re
ceipt of used clothing for the
children of the Colored Orphan
age. Very soon the two new
shirts which you called my at
tention to will be acknowledged
by the recipients.
“We are inspired by the co
operation and good will of
friends and organizations which
tend to encourage us while con
ducting this program so vital to
dependent children. No doubt we
shall have to rely upon charity
for some commodities for an in
definite period. For this reason,
we appreciate the manner in
which you and your friends have
indicated your interest in our
welfare.
“Our children join me in
thanking you for this support
and we trust that it shall always
be maintained.
Yours very truly,
(MRS.) L. P. LLOYD,
“Secretary”
The men’s department of the
