Sigmas join other organizations to support Big Brother/Big Sisters
w
Parkway Bowling Lanes
recently were filled with different
organizations that help support
the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of
Forsyth County. The Delta Alpha
Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fra
ternity Inc. was among those
"Bowling for Kids Sake." The
purpose of the function was to
collect sponsorship (donations)
per pin or in group amounts, to
raise money for programs offered
by Big Brothers/Big Sisters of
Forsyth County.
The Delta Alpha Chapter
raised nearly $300 through their
peers on campus, as well as
through pledges from the com
munity. "Although I can't bowl a
lick, I thought this would be a
good opportunity to give back to
the children," said Michael
Lyerly.
A spokesperson for the group
said, "The Delta Alpha chapter
enjoys working with children in
other events and programs as
well." He said they were grateful
to the students and faculty of
Winston-Salem State University,
as well as to those in the commu
nity who contributed to Big
Brothers/Big Sisters of Forsyth
County.

Foundation treasurer resigns over WSSU 'power struggle'
from page 1
since initiating a centennial cam
paign in 1990.
Some university officials
have suggested that the reorgani
zation of the foundation in 1993
stemmed from the actions by
former chancellor Cleon
; Thompson. A state audit two
; years before revealed that
Thompson had provided perks to
retain football players at WSSU,
using money from a discre
tionary account.
Brandquist denied that the
reorganization was done at the
direction of the president of the
N.C. university system to "pun
ish an administration," but
instead to "improve financial
isolation and minimize the pos
sible perception that any univer
sity official could exert undue
influence on the foundation."
Brandquist took issue with
an article printed in the daily
newspaper following that meet
ing, which indicated that the
foundation operates indepen
dently of university input. In his
resignation letter, Brandquist
called that view fallacious and
malicious.
The article also stated that
the chancellor and vice chancel
lor for development had once
been voting members of the
foundation. Brandquist refuted
this statement.
"Ex-officio members have
never had voting privileges," he
said. Other university founda
tions do allow those members to
vote, but WSSU has not in the
past.
The foundation previously
worked closely with the vice
chancellor for development.
When that position was vacated
last spring, the foundation was
left somewhat unanchored to the
university, said Brandquist.
Requests for university guidance
have been unanswered for the
most part, he added.
"Without this direction from
the university, the foundation
has not been able to conduct any
supportive activity," Brandquist
wrote in his resignation letter.
"The office of development
simply vanished last spring," he
later added.
In a letter to foundation and
university officials, foundation
chairman Bass echoed
Brandquist's sentiments. Bass
included in the document a
signed contract between the
board of trustees and foundation,
agreeing that the foundation
would serve as an agent for the
board of trustees and manage
funds received. Signed in 1990,
this agreement was terminated
by Schexnider last November,
said Bass.
"First and foremost, the
chancellor and [board of
trustees] have been extensively
involved in every fund-raising
effort of the foundation during
my tour on the board, including
the over $20 million that was
raised during the centennial
campaign," stated Bass.
Schexnider was unavailable
for comment, but has gone on
record as supporting the trustee's
request.
