Page Six THE VOICE Briefs Of Epsilon Zeta Major Boyd Epsilon Zeta Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity is looking into the future and is planning the activities for the coming school year. However, at this time, it is appropriate to re- viewf and evaluate the activities that were held during the past year. To begin things off we will eva luate our special activities which included a dance entitled the “Crazy Hat Dance.” At this dance Mr. Charles Click won first place with a well decorated hat and all who attended the dance said it was just “wonderful.” Brothers Jimmy Cummings, Eugene Hunter Lewis Bullock, Calvin McDonald and Luther McKeithan along with pledges John Smith and Charles Click made a very impressive showing in the intramural basket ball. During the second portion of the school year we participated in two chapel programs. For our Found ers’ Day Program, we invited Bro ther Ross E. Townes, Professor of Physical Education at North Carolina College at Durham, to speak. This program was followed by a tea given at the Recreation Room of Smith Dormitory. The next program was the Crowning of our Sweetheart, Miss Hilda Davis. She is a graduating senior of F. S. T. C. and a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. Brother Jimmy Cummings ad ventured down to Columbia, South Carolina, to the Annual Southern Regional Convention. He reported that his trip was very informative as well as enjoyable. As five brothers pass through State’s halls with graduation. Ep silon Zeta promises a long life as it is remaining in such capable hands as Calvin McDonald and Lewis Bullock. Those brothers being graduated are Major Boyd, Jimmy Cummings,' Eugene Hun- -terj -dlyde McDaniel an6 Luther McKeithan. None of our goals could have been attained were it not for hav ing such outstanding personalities as Dr. Bradley, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Bacote to direct our activities. As a token of appreciation, our “hats are off” to these persons along with Mrs. Bradley for her fine hospitality. During each week we were able to entertain many fellows who were interested in joining a fra ternity but this entertainment would have been impossible if it weren’t for the help of our active pledges. They are Roy Collins, Charles Click, Melvin Thompson, John Smith, and Cephas Spaulding. April, 1960 Sigma Round-Up The Pi Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated, has had a very thrilling and event ful year. One of the long-to-be re membered events on campus was the Crowning of our charming and beautiful sister, Fannie Tyson, as Sigma Sweetheart, 1960-61.” The Sweetheart was brought into fo cus when Little Brothers Donald Taylor and Nathaniel Marshall es corted the rocket Cresnik #1 down to earth., In* observance of “Bigger and Better Business Week” we climax ed its celebration with a dynamic program on March 27, 1960, in the J. W. Seabrook Auditorium. Bro ther Attorney J. Lewis, President of National Finance Corporation Washington, D. C., spoke to the college family and guest on the theme; “Business’s Challenge to Youth.” A reception was given in his honor immediately after the program in the Science Building Sisters Martha Green, Ada Alston and Cherridine Birt of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority served as hos tesses.

We are wishing for you much success and happiness; and to the other students, we will be looking to see each of you in September, after a prosperous summer vacation. OPPORTUNITY An Indian Princess, on coming of age, was given a basket and told she might pick the finest ears of corn in a given row. The only condition was that she was to choose as she went along. She could not retrace her steps. She admired the fine quality of the corn before her; and as she felt ane oar aftor aneth-er she left them on the stalk, always thinking what better ears lay ahead. Sud denly, and to her dismay, she came to the end of the row—and she had gathered none of them. DELTA DOINGS Greetings, everyone, from the scores of Delta Xi Chapter. We are hoping that your Easter va cation was pleasant and that you had no after effects from eating so many eggs. Now let’s take a bi'ief look into the Delta Doings of the past and present. On April 1, 1960, April Fool’s Day, the Deltas were hostess to the college family and friends at their second annual spring dance, “An Affair to Remember.” For this occasion the gymnasium was beau_ tifully decorated with streamers of red and white crepe paper; to give the effect of a curtain to set off the tables from the dance floor. The beautiful music was furnished by the “Happy Jacks” from Fort Bragg. In conjunction with our annual library project, Soror Doris Goss, President of the Delta XI Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, on behalf of the sorority presented a book to Miss Alice Jackson erl- titled, “ The Problem of Delin- guency.” Now that we are nearing the close of another school term, seven sorors must break from the chain of sisterhood and venture out into the unknown. They are Sorors Lorraine Manley, Doris Goss, An nie Edmonds, Shirley Langston, Constance Anderson, Pearl Coun cil, and Flora McLaurin. With mixed feelings of gladness and sorrow in our hearts we will say good-bye. Not only to our sorors but to other Greeks, friends, class mates, teachers and our wonderful Dean and President. We say a fond farewell with dear cherished memories of the happy years we have been together here. Constance Anderson, Reporter Miss Doris E. Goss, President, Delta XI Chapter, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, is seen presenting: a book entitled “The Problem of Delinquency” by Sheldon Glueck, to Miss Alice A. Jackson, Librarian. In acceptinff for the Library, Miss Jackson said that a Librarian is never happier than when accepting' a book for the Library’s collection. She commended the Deltas for this worthy projfect. The gift of a book to the Chesnutt Library is an annual project of the Delta under-graduate chap ter and is usually presented during National Library Week. Miss Goss, a member of the Senior Class, is from Durham N. C. THANKS to our Student Gov ernment, with Frederick Rodg ers as president, for special help w ith this issue of the VOICE. Sigma Sweetheart Alpha Kappa Mu Convocation Velma Street, Reporter On February 18, 1960, four neo phytes were inducted into the Rho Beta Chi Chapter of Alpha Kappa Mu Honor Society at the Annual Convocation which was held in the J. W. Seabrook Auditorium. The newly inducted members are Catharyne Butler, Nannie Crosby, David McNair, and Levi Mont gomery. The Convocation Address was delivered by Dr. J. W. Seabrook, President-Emeritus of Fayetteville State Teachers College. Dr. Jones, President of Fayetteville State Teachers College, presented certi ficates to the new members and congratulated them on their a- chievement. Alpha Kappa Mu members par ticipating on the program were Evelyn Boone, Robert Q. Gordon, Doris Goss, Clyde Oliver Mc Daniel, Jr., Frederick Rodgers, and Velma Street. The college Instructor one fine June day was startled to learn from an exam paper that the "American Revolution wrote nasty letters to the French Revolution.” It seems that the student’s text book at one point stated that the “American Revolution correspond ed roughly with the French Re volution.” / \ PARTICIPATING in the Annual Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Founders’ Day Vesper Services—Nannie Crosby, Anti-Basileus, Delta Alpha Chapter: Mrs. Sylvia W.

KAPPA IN A WHIRL As Third Quarter tip-toed into existence, we found sixteen Alpha Kappa Alpha sorors still overflow, ing with that old “AKA” spirit", they refuse to think of the May 29th graduation and loss of Sorors Hilda Davis, Evelyn Boone, Bar bara Hankins, Velma Street, and Lillie Allen. Although there will be a loss of these faithful Sorors, AKA will always be embedded in their hearts. With hands joined, the Sorors successfully celebrated their an nual Founders’ Day Program. The impact of the address delivered by Soror Sylvia Payne of Saint Augustine’s College left an im print on the minds of everyone in attendance. Along with the social whirl came the “Top Ten Dance Contest” featuring higti school students in the city and county. The thought ' of a dance contest brought smiles to these young faces but even more joy to Washington Drive Junior High School which was a- warded the trophy for winning the contest. The Hot Dog Contest was an other social event that was very enjoyable. Benefits from these events will go to the scholarship fund which the Sorority contri butes to yearly. Sorors Eve Cordon and Gertina Keyes, along with’ some other Sorors, attended The Regional Conference which was held at A & T College, in Greensboro, North I Carolina, April 22-24. Soror Gen ieva Holmes, former Dean of Wo men of this Institution, was hos tess. With the inspirational guidance of our beloved Advisor, Soror Mary Terry Eldridge, Delta Alpha Chapter of Alpha Sorority has had a very fruitful year. Ques News With Spring in the air and the third quarter well under way, the Delta Gamma Chapter of the Ornega Psi Phi Fraternity finds it self eighteen members strong doing their utmost to add to the whole some college life that is present at Fayetteville State.
