"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 KAPPAS INDUCT TWO Delta Chi Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, welcomes the addition of two new members to its ranks.
