"QUES" HELP TONY
There are thousands of low-in-
come families in the Winston-
Salem community. Too often,
campus organizations fail to recog
nize or help these families.
The men of the Mu Epsilon Chap
ter of the Omega Psi Phi Fratern
ity, Inc., have taken a step, though
small, to help a little boy, Tony
Mundy, who comes from a low eco
nomic family.
Tony is a fifth grader at Mebane
Elementary School. Tony is ten
years old, four feet tall, and he
weighs fifty pounds. He is a very
quiet and shy young man.
The fraternity took Tony to see
the WSSU Rams play the Shaw
Bears in Whitaker Gymnasium.
Tony had popcorn and coke as he
watched the game in which the
Rams won in a three overtime
thriller. Tony sat and watched the
game with his Ram sweat shirt
and his purple and gold hat beside
him. He seemed to have enjoyed
himself very much. He said that
the Rams were his favorite team.
Also, the fraternity has paid for
Tony’s lunch at school for the
months of December and January.
In February Tony will be leaving
to go to Ohio. The chapter will
again reach out to help some other
boys from a low-economic family
in the Winston-Salem community.
Good luck to Tony from the men
of Mu Epsilon Chapter,
Congratulations Greeks

Friends of Distinction
To Appear In Fries

“Can you dig it, can you dig it
baby?” Last spring these were the
words that swept the country, as
well as the campus of Winston-
Salem State University, as the
Friends of Distinction and every
body started “Grazin’ In The
Grass.” The Hugh Masakela hit
was the first big single for the
Friends on the RCA label. Since
then their career has skyrocketed.
They recently earned a gold record
for selling over a million copies
of their recent hit single “You Got
Me Going In Circles.”
The group hails from Los
Angeles, California, where they
were discovered by actor and
former football great Jim Brown.
Brown liked them so well that he
immediately signed on to be their
manager and brought the group to
the attention of the RCA execu
tives. The Friends of Distinction
are Harry Elston, Floyd Butler,
Jessica Cleaves, and Barbara Jean
Love.
On Sunday night, February 22,
1970, the Student Government As
sociation of Winston-Salem State
University will proudly present the
