PAGE SIX THE NEWS ARGUS APRIL, 1968 Qneekjo^ During the last four or five weeks on WSSC’s campus, there has been a new burst of Greek Spirit. This enthusiasm has been due mainly to the new crop of energetic Pledgees and the re birth of a sorority, Sigma Gam ma Rho. It is hoped that this spirit of participation in con structive areas will continue. Alpha's Aid In Voter Registration A voter registration drive was launched March 3 by the Pi Lambda and Beta Iota Chapters of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. A door to door survey was made in certain areas of Winston-Sa- lem in order to find eligible voters who had not registered. The Alphas gained an entirely new awareness of the problem when they learned that many people did not know that they are eligible to vote. The Alphas are asking all able persons to assist them in making citizens aware of the grave situations that exist in the world today. It is the responsibility of all col lege students to make people aware of the power of the vote. (Editor’s Note; How many of you are 21 or over and haven’t registered yet?) Sphinxmen on the Move Members of the Sphinx Club of Alpha Phi Alpha are follow ing right behind their big broth ers in fulfiUing their civic duty. This organization has not only found time to work in civic func tions off campus but has also launched a clean-up project on campus. The Sphinxmen who hope to cross the burning sands to Greekdom are: Leon Sturdivant, Jimmy Murphy, Harry Cohen, and Frederick Terry. The new Sphinxmen are: Julius Heston, Harold Terry, Jimmy Hart, and James Myers. Larry Butler is reporter for the group.

Forsaken by all because he is a man No one wishes to be like him ... no one can. No one is your next of kin. No one knows him, he has no name. Tossed about and thrown into the sea. Never to live again, never to be. Never to live, never to be, Never to rise again, never to be, Man is his own clock, he determines his destiny. Never to live again . .. never to be. —Anne Harrison
