/ May, 1929 THE UNIVERSITY STUDENT Page Three FRATERNITIES AND CLUBS OMEGA PSI PHI By T. Jeffers With the end of this school year just around he corner and with the end of the association of 16 loyal Omegans near we feel very keenly the loss of their associa tion, and in departing from us they carry with them the heartfelt interest of the other brothers of Rho. During the years of their association with the students here each has made valuable friendships that will be taken out into the world and cher ished the more as the years pass. Some of these brothers have reached the acme of achievement in extra-curricula activi ties and leave behind them tangible evi dence of these. Those brothers departing in June are: J. 0. Pope, J. H. Whiteman, who, no doubt, will be remembered as an efficient manager of our base ball team for three years, and the business manager of Smith’s first Annual; C. M. Steele, of Rock Hill, or would be rather from Danville; George Williams (I don’t think Bro. Williams will divulge his middle name; P. R. Dusen- bury, the saxophonist, and member of the N. Y. Serenaders; C. W. Ozier, B. J. Hayes, varsity pitcher, who aided in the last two defeats of Livingstone College base ball team on Easter Monday, and manager of the 1928 basket ball team; W. L. Byrd, popular campus shiek and well dresser; Hiemphill Brown, (“Hempie” is just another brother who won’t tell you what his middle name is, or his first; you see Hemphill may be his second, and he won’t tell his first; anyway he is well liked by his fellow class-mates as evi denced by his selection as the most popu lar Senior; S. S. McKnight, a local boy, who has been at Smith for, lo, these many years, and did his high school work here too, and who was voted the most hand some Senior of his class; Bro. E. F. Mal loy, long a conspicuous figure on our cam pus; J. 0. Scipio, who will leave behind him a trail of broken hearts in his role of man of many loves; Bro. Leon Steele, being on our campus for many years, has played Varsity foot ball several terms, and last fall, as captain of the team, led it through a season of brilliant success es; G. W. Perry we believe will return to Smith and further his studies in the The ological Seminary; C A. Evans, has main tained a high scholastic average through out the four years he has been here; he has also been Keeper of Records and Seals of Rho Chapter; Bro. J. 0. Cannady will be missed not only by us but by the host ■of friends he has made here. Rho wishes for these men a life of suc cess and happiness. The season for banquets is here and ere this has been read by you, Rho will have celebrated its Sixth Annual Banquet. Bro. Avant’s present illness is the cause of much concern by Rho and we are hop ing for him an immediate and complete recovery. This being the last issue of The Uni versity Student for this school year, Rho LAMPADOS CLUB By J. W. Martin With the closing of the school year 1928- 1929 near at hand, the members of the Lampados Club have not let us in the least, but are still working. The spirit of accom plishment is permeating the entire club. The interest became so profound recently that we decided to meet weekly in order that we may keep the spirit alive. We are often addressed by members of the Fra ternity. Much inspiration is received from these addresses that is very helpful. The members are getting a better view of the true, ideals of fraternalism by closer con tact with the big brothers down at the cosy little Prat-Rest at the foot of the Hill. “Association begets assimilation.” Because we are “Lamps”, we are desirous of being like those who have gone before us in the true sense of the word. These things count for a great deal toward the realization of every true “Lamp’s” dream.’ During the Easter holidays, the Omega’s were hosts to quite a few impromptu enter tainments which many of the “Lamps” en joyed along with other brothers from all parts of the State. The writer was among the guests at a Dawn Dance given Easter Monday morning by the Alpha Fraternity at the Alpha House. We had an enjoyable time. All of the affairs during the holi days were actually “too hot” for words. The female guests of these gay frolics were among the elite of the good old Southland, and if I must say it they were the last word in feminine pulchritude. The “Lamps” are playing their part in the extra-curricula activities. We are rep resented on Smith’s championship baseball team by “Pomp” Horne “Jack” Martin and “Bill” McMillan. Brother Horne is Smith’s stellar center fielder. His accurate judg ment and good “stickmanship” has aided Smith in winning most of her games. Mar tin and McMillan are bringing up their end as a part of the receiving end of Smith’s invincible team. In the recent forensic battle between More, ouse and Smith, Brother Grigg was a mem ber of the team that won a unaimous de cision over Morehouse. “That’s the stuff, Grigg, keep it up.” Brother Griffin made the trip to Nashville with the Negative Team that debated Fisk the same night, April 12. He reports a wonderful trip. ALPHA PHI ALPHA By H. L. Barksdale The mantle of the scholastic year 1928- 1929 lowers upon one of the most suc cessful years in the history of Alpha Om- icron Chapter. Success has crowned all our efforts both in our attempts to carry out our program as well as in all our ac tivities in the University. Under the leadership of Bro. G. F. Woodson the en rollment was greatly increased as fifteen desert travelers entered into the folds of Alpha Phi Alpha. Alpha Omicron contributed seven men to foot ball, three men to basket ball, and five men to base ball. Among these were two captains. All of the bi’others entered the second semester with zeal, expectation and san guine hopes. The helm of State passes from the hands of Bro. Woodson into those of Bro. A. J. Clement, Jr. Under his capable leadership, the good ship. Al pha Omicron, has weathered all storms and challenged all attention. First came the acquisition of the Chapter House which holds a unique place among frats in the South. A new spirit inoculates every one. “A Bigger and Better Omicron” was his slogan. March 26 saw nine sons of Mother Sphinx atttain their majority. They were Bros. R. W. Dockery, C. A. Tolbert, P. W. Jenkins (three inseparables); R. E. Thompkins, S. H. Travis, debater; Wm. Scales, Wallace and Nicholson, of Living stone College, and H. L. Barksdale, assist ant in the department of Romance Lan guages. May 5th to 11th inclusive witnessed the most intensive Go to High School-Go to College campaign in our history. Various High Schools in the State were visited by enthusiastic speakers. All the city churches were visited and we broadcasted over Station W. B. T. Practical results were attained therefrom. On the evening of May 24th Alpha Om icron entertained visiting brothers and their own guests in our Sixth Annual Banquet. Charles W. Green, first Vice- President of Alpha Phi Alpha, headed guests from over the two Carolinas. This is the first time a general officer has vis ited us. We extend to Bro. Greene and others an invitation to visit us at any time. Fair damsels from over the two Caro linas lent beauty to the affair. Suave, KAPPA ALPHA PSI SCROLLER’S CLUB By C C. De Vane By E. E. Gibson On the evening of May 17, in the re fectory of Johnson C. Smith University, Alpha Epsilon had the pleasure of enter taining many friends and honored guests at the 2nd Annual Banquet. The hall was gloriously decorated with Kappa colors of crimson and cream, and adorned with vi vacious debutantes who gave good cheer and gusto throughout the program. The fragrance of the flowers and the weird strains of music from the New York Se renaders’ Orchestra blended and warmed every appetite for the delightful menu. Toastmaster, Bro. J. H. Alston, often broke the quietude and laughter with mes sages of cordiality from some of our en compassed friends and representatives. Over one hundred guests from nearby cities and States as far as the National Capital, were present. The visiting brothers who were dele gates from the local chapters of the South eastern Province, expressed themselves as having spent a pleasant and profitable time at the formal affair, and also at the meeting held here on the 18. Bro. J. H. Alston, Polemarch of Alpha Epsilon Chapter, also Provincial Polemarch of the Southeastern Province, conducted the ses sion. Interesting features of the program which affected the various chapters were thoroughly discussed by members of the Conference. At the business session the following were elected as officers of the Province: Vice-Polemarch, Bro. Forbes; Bro. 0. L. Wilson, Keeper of Records and Excheq uer; Strategus, Bro. Clark; Lieut. Strate- gus, Bro. Hawkins; Board of Directors: Bro. T. S. Jackson and Bro. F. W. Crawls. Guide Right Week was observed here at the University. During the occasion various representatives of the local chap ter presented brief programs to the Sen ior High School students in the city and to the College group in the University Auditorium. The Pan-Hellenic Council rendered an excellent program in Chapel on the eve ning of May 26. This body is composed of two represnetatives from each of the four fraternities on the campus. Bros. Edward W. Jones and A. T. Harrington appeared in behalf of Alpha Epsilon. Members of the Chapter who are grad uating this year are: Bros. J. A. Blount, J. H. Justice, J. A. Jones and A. S. Powe. We hope that they will carry the spirit of good will of every frater and do every- possible to maintain its standards. debonair gentlemen, elegantly gowned, vivacious ladies beneath soft, glowing lights, amidst tinkling glasses with polite tones bandid cajolery back and forth. Deferential waiters moved about unobtru sively. In flowery terms a speaker toast ed (Roasted) the ladies; in glowing terms another adulated our University. Bro. Toastmaster, A. J. Clement, was all that could be wished. His suaveness, his wit ticisms, coupled with his constant flow of mirth-provoking wise cracks, kept his guests in a state of continued merriment and jollity. To our brothers in the bond of Greek letter fraternities we wish the fulflllment of all your plans and the completion of your program; to all good Greeks the love of Aphrodite and the might of Zeus. Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, Professor of Bacteriology and Public Hesilth of the Howard University School of Medicine, recently made a survey of 120 Negro hos pitals extending over 17 different States and the District of Columbia. Time flies on, out of a cold Winter into a pleasant Spring, and now looms Sum mer. Everything is variable; nothing seems to find a constant. Shifting, shift ing, ever shifting, new changes produce new changes upon the sands of time. The Scroller, too, has shifted. From one activ ity to another he has tried to find his con stant. What, then, is the constant this busy Scroller strives unceasingly to work for? It is the accomplishment of his ideals. The reader by this time wonders what Scroller ideals can be. He has been con stantly reminded of the iact that the Scroller has ideals, but he, possibly, is not acquainted with them. The Scroller will now tell his ideals. He is certain that the reader will approve them. He names for you. Scholarship, Character, Leadership and Service. ‘ '\ ^ April has taken a great part in the making of history for the club as a whole. When our foi-mer brothers, E. W. Jones, P. B. Adams, T. C. Goodwin, H. E. Jones, and J. G. Benson left us to grace the walls of the great Kappa Clan, we felt that our big brothers had willfully wrecked the Club by robbing us of our material. But still there was another aspect to be considered. Our good brother, J. F. Towns, has taken the reins of leadership and so successfully is he conducting the aggressive program of the Club that we have hardly missed our vacancies as far as progress is concerned. C. A. Anderson was made Secretary and F. D. Alston was selected as reporter. The Scrollers’ Program rendered in Bid dle Memorial Hall on April 13 was a suc cess. It was at this fete that Scroller ideals were so effectively emphasized by big brother E. W. Jones. It was then that the Scroller showed talent. Brother J. F. Towns’ oration on “Success” was perfectly delivered. We have recently taken into the Club M. W. Boulware, H. C. Christian and Van Buren Long. All of these men have shown in their activities that they are going to be assets to the club. PHI BETA SIG.MA The Alpha Epsilon Chapter of Phi Be ta Sigma Fraternity was established at Johnson C.
