Fraternity, Inc., welcome to its
bounds three newly made brothers.
They are Clarence E. Lloyd, sopho
more biology major from Wil-
liamston, N. C.; Arlester Simpson,
senoir elementary education major
from Currie, N. C.; and Marlyn
G. Walker, sophomore sociology
major from Fayetteville, N. C.
Felicitations also go to the vari
ous other neophytes who made
their respective fraternities and
sororities.
The 1962-63 school year has been
one of work and study. Our work
resulted in such achievements as
the initiation of four neophytes
into the Fraternity during the fall
probation period.
On December 16, 1962, the Epsi
lon Zeta and Epsilon Rho Lambda
chapters of the Fraternity present
ed Brother Floyd McKissick, at
torney-at-law, Durham, N. C., as
the annual Founders’ Day speaker.
Other results of our work and
study can be seen in the appear
ance of three of our brothers on
the Dean’s List for the first semes
ter and four who maintain aver
ages above 2.00.
Active is the word that best de
scribes the program of the Delta
Alpha Chapter of Alpha Kappa
Sorority for 1962-63.
Four young women, after weeks
of preparation under the guidance
of Soror Annie Paschall, dean of
pledgees, were initiated. They were
welcomed into the Sisterhood by
Mrs. M. T. Eldridge, undergrad
uate advisor and twenty-seven
campus sorors. The number of the
Delta Alpha Chapter has now in
creased to thirty-one strong.
The new members are Mary Ann
Treadwell, Garland, N. C.; Minnie
Stevens, Goldsboro, N. C.; Mattie
Gore, Wilmington, N. C.; and An-
tionette Spearman, Garland, N. C.
In April of this semester we in
ducted five new members into the
Sphinx Club, interest club to the
Fraternity. They are Johnny Cov
ington, Donald O’Brien Dixon,
Aaron King, John Powell, and
Clyde E. Wooten.
Our program for the year was
ended with the teen-age dance
given in the J. W. Seabrook Rec
reation Center on April 26.
As each year ends, we turn the
limelight on our graduating broth
ers. This year, we, with somewhat
mixed emotions, bid farewell to
Brothers Calvin Gay, James Haw
thorne and Arlester Simpson. They
have been instrumental in helping
to shape the destiny of our chapter
here at Fayetteville State and will
be truly missed by the chapter.
To the graduating seniors we of
fer our congratulations. We will
watch you as you depart from this
institution to assume more mature
roles in our rapidly changing so
ciety. May you use wisely what
you have learned here at Fayette
ville State. To all other students,
we say — enjoy a profitable sum
mer and return next year with
even more determination to excel.

April 19 through 21, Theresa
Brinson and Catherine Peace were
delegates to the Annual Basilei
Conference held in Rocky Mount,
North Carolina.
With justifiable pride Soror
Gloria Ann Crawford of Lumber-
ton. North Carolina was crowned
Miss Fayetteville State Teachers
College 1963-64. In the same elec
tion Soror Minnie Stevens was
elected editor of the Yearbook.
May the new year bring the re
newing of our minds, that we may
prove what is the good, acceptable
and perfect.

Zeta Zest
The Zetarama will now present
some highlights of the activities of
the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority for this
school year.
On January 16, 1963, The Omega
Beta Chapter along with the grad
uate chapter observed the 43rd An
niversary of Founder’s Day in a
brief program at Evans Metropoli
tan A. M. E. Zion Church. Soror
Juanita Hazel gave a brief sum
mary of the founding of the Sorori
ty.
Helpfulness to others being one
of the qualities stressed by the
Sorority, the members of the Ome
ga Beta Chapter served on the
various committees to help make
successful the 17th Annual Drama
Clinic which was held on Saturday,
February 2. At that time over 400
students, teachers, and principals
were in attendance.
In the same spirit of helpfulness,
the Chapter served as hostess for
the teas given by the Sigmas in
Smith Hall on February 17, and on
April 21.
Since the days of Susan B.
Anthony who succeeded in bringing
woman suffrage into the political
focus, women have been some
what emancipated from the sup
posedly feminine roles of primitive
societies. Although today’s women
in a machine age are not expected
to uphold primitive feminine roles,
yet women still are expected to
lead the human race towards high
er moral standards. With this idea
in mind, the national body of the
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority adopted the
idea of setting aside annually a
week for the observance of Finer
Womanhood Week. This observa
tion is made by all Chapters of
Zeta all over America and in for
eign lands, in the last week in Feb
ruary. A Vesper Program here at
F.S.T. College on Sunday, Febru
ary 24, culminated the events of
the week. The guest speaker, Soror
Nora E. Lockhart, Principal of the
Crosby - Garfield School in Ra
leigh, and national treasurer of
the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority chose
as her subject “Africa’s Challenge
to the Woman of America.” In her
speech, she stressed that although
most of the African Countries are
politically free from the overlord
countries, they cannot possess free
dom entirely until they can con
trol the wealth in Africa, because
freedom means growth biological
ly, and spiritually. She also men
tioned that recently in Washington,
D. C., Fathia H. R. Nkrumah,
wife of the president of Ghana,
was initiated into the Zeta Phi
Beta Sorority.
On March 9 the highlightmg so
cial event of the year, the Zetalite
Ball, was held in the Lilly Gymna
sium of F. S. T. College. At that
time 40 lovely debutantes were pre
sented. Before the audience began
to dance, the Zeta and Debutantes
highlighted the activities with
their singing and dancing.
Although the Zetas do en,ioy so
cial activities, they do not usurp
all of the time of the Zetas, for ap
pearing on tne nonor roll are sev
eral members of the Omega Beta
Chapter. Among the members with
an average of 2.00 or above are,
Jessica Henderson, Juanita Hazel,
Annie Justice, and Catherine John
ston.
Lately, several aspiring young
ladies possessing qualities stressed
by Zeta including good scholarship
chose to become and were accepted
as Archonians. The list included:
Janice Baldwin, Maxine Chapman,
Ernestine Chavis, Luretha Coats,
Joyce Faulcon, Berniere Gil
more, Vivianese Johnson, Marion
Lloyd, Mary Mclver, Barbara Mc
Neill, Juanita Parker, Asberine
Parnell, Gwendolyn Peaten, and
Barbara Tyson.
The regional meeting, fortunate
ly for us, was held May 3-5 here at
F. S. T. College. The Grand Basil-
eus, Dr. Deborah P. Wolfe, high
lighted the regional meeting. At
that time, guests from North Car
olina, Virginia, West Virginia, and
Washington, D. C., were present.
Zeta hopes to complete the year of
1962-63 keeping in mind the theme
of the Regional Zeta; “Zeta Keeps
In Tune With The Times.”

Omega Highlights
This year marks the realization
of another busy school schedule for
the brothers of the Delta Gamma
Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fra
ternity. Under the leadership of
Brother James Herring, the chapter
has achieved with great success its
objectives and goals for the year.
We began our year in the usual
manner of introducing the fresh
men and new students to the col
lege with various activities that
won the respect of the entire stu
dent body.
To kick off the school year in
early October, Delta Gamma held
its Sweetheart election program.
At this time, the brothers elected
lovely Miss Edna Martin as their
Sweetheart. Miss Martin, a senior
and majoring in Elementary Edu
cation, hails from Mt. Olive, North
Carolina, and she is a member of
the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority.
Her court consisted of Miss Glenda
Cheek, Miss Mary Wicker and Miss
Eva McEachern.
Shortly afterwards. Delta Gam
ma in conjunction with Beta Chi
the graduate chapter in Fayette
ville, had their annual observance
of National Achievement Week
which was also for the benefit of
the entire student body. The speak
er for this occasion was Brother
Harold Boulware from Columbia,
South Carolina, and Sixth District
Representative of our Fraternity.
Prior to the Christmas holidays,
two proud brothers entered our
fold — Brothers Robert Melvin and
Hayves Streeter.
Through the cooperative efforts
of the brothers and the entire col
lege family, our “Scholarship pro
jects” outdistanced our every ex
pectation as we were able to make
substantial contributions to the
various scholarship funds with pro
ceeds realized.
During the latter part of Janu
ary, the brothers presented an en
tirely different assembly program.
It was our version of the success
ful T. V. programs — “Pass Word”
and “I’ve Got A Secret.” Approxi
mately twenty silver dollars were
given to members of the various
panels and to the student body par
ticipants.
The brothers of Delta Gamma
are proud to welcome the twelve
good men who were recently ini
tiated into the Lampados Club.
After being initiated into the pledge
club, they immediately embarked
upon the task of proving their un
selfish interest in all facets of
Omega life. We, the brothers of
Delta Gamma, have faith that their
period of pledgeship will afford
them an opportunity to become in
creasingly aware of the respon
sibility facing them as Omega men.
The proud young men are Cecil
Ramsey, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Donald
Ray, Spring Lake, N. C.; Ray Bak
er, Kinston, N. C.; Sherry Spencer,
Kinston, N. C.; George Langford,
Potecasi, N. C.; WiUiam Westfield,
Orange, N. J.; Bennie Fulton, New
Bern, N. C.; Leo Edwards, Rappi-
hoe, N. C.; Louis Gibson, Wilming
ton, N. C.; Cornelius Squalls, Fay
etteville, N. C.; William Swift,
Erie, Pa.; and Sylvester Lewis,
Patterson, N. J.
In May the Omegas presented
the “Ques’ Carnival” which was
designed for the entire student
body’s enjoyment.
Deltas
Volunteer
For a very long time Girl Scouts
in the city have needed leaders to
help carry on their many worth
while activities and the same few
faithful adults have taken time
from their busy schedules to give
what assistance they could. Upon
being informed of the distressful
inadequacy of help in this area six
young ladies from Delta Sigma
Theta Sorority volunteered their
services as assistants to the Scout
Leaders and now enjoying their re
sponsibilities with Troops 101 and
102 at Seabrook Recreation Center
are Misses Mamie White, Willa
Stokes, Senora Diggs, Maggie John
son, Frances Callendar and Annie
Mason.
These volunteers have won much
praise for their fine work and are
benefitting from the experience and
training. 'They have expressed the
hope that they can continue to work
with scouting in whatever com
munity they are privileged to
teach.
Other Deltas volunteered for an
other much needed service on the
campus of FSTC. The library was
faced with a shortage of student
assistants at the beginning of sec
ond semester and in spite of pleas
and advertisements no help seem
ed to be forthcoming. The waiting
lines at the Circulation Desk were
getting longer, the piles of books to
be shelved were getting higher,
overdue notices were lingering be
hind, and the librarians were get
ting pretty edgy. Miss Hazel Clarke
conferred with the Librarian about
this situation and returned for serv
ice bringing Misses Geneva Ben
nett, Annie Mason, Edna Martin
and Marie Speed. All persons con
cerned are much happier now and
these prospective teachers are
gaining valuable training in bring
ing books and people together.
Many who expressed a willing
ness to serve were not free at the
time they were needed.
We salute the members of Delta
Sigma Theta Sorority for their
eagerness to live by the Christian
principle that he who would attain
greatness must be servant of all.
This year Delta Gamma will lose
five brothers via graduation. They
are Brothers Arthur Knight, Hen
ry Mears, Kenneth Travitt, James
Herring and Robert Drake.
As can be readily surmised, we
at Delta Gamma have been quite
active in our efforts to surge for
ward.
Delta Gamma would like to con
gratulate the entire student body
on the completion of another year
of higher education. To those of
you who are returning next fall,
we encourage you to put your best
foot forward in striving for aca
demic excellence during the 1963-64
school term in particular and life
in general.
