MRS. GRACE M. PLEASANTS,
Alpha Kappa Alpha Founders’ Day
Speaker.
AKA’s Progress
Rapidly
Under the leadership of Ernestine
Thompson, president, and Mrs. M.
T. Eldridge, faculty advisor, the
AKA Sorority had quite an exciting
and profitable first semester.
In October, the chapter served
as hostess to the Basilei Confer
ence which wfas held at E. E. Smith
Senior High School. The guesf
speaker was Mrs. Lucille Piggott,
Regional Director, of Greensboro,
North Carolina.
To make Thanksgiving a hap
pier day, we gave a basket of food
to a needy family. Money has also
been contributed to provide milk
for a student at Newbold Training
School for a year.
In December, eleven new mem
bers were inducted into the soror
ity. These increased the member
ship to twenty-eight, which is the
largest in the history of Delta Al
pha Chapter.
Members of the sorority who are
senior counselors are: Mary Ham
monds, Madie Dick, Ernestine
Thompson, Elizabeth Williamson,
Eddie Ratliff, Annie Paschall,
Edith Leach, Jameszetta Butler,
and Juliette Gary. Ernestine
Thompson reigned as “Miss Home
coming,” while Jameszetta Butler
was her senior attendant. Eva
McEachern is doing an impres
sive ,iob as editor of the school
paper, while Junetta Williams is
working diligently as editor of the
yearbook.
Our Founders’ Day Vesper pro
gram was held Sunday, February
10. At this time Mrs. Grace Mat-
thws Pleasants of the City School
System of Richmond, Virginia,
completely captivated the audience
with her very timely address on
“Greatness.”
The members of Delta Alpha
Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha are
looking forward with eager anti
cipation to more excitement and
success during the second semes
ter.

During the first semester of the
academic year 1962-63, Delta Gam
ma experienced imusual success
through the untiring devotions of
ten strong OMEGA MEN. Under
the leadership of Brother James
Herring, our September plans are
being carried out to perfection.
Our program has thus far been
intended for the entire college fam
ily’s enjoyment and it will con
tinue to be so.
Approximately two weeks follow
ing the initiation ceremonies of
neophyte brothers Robert Melvin
and Hayves Streeter, we culminat
ed our “Scholarship drive project”
by raffling off a beautiful radio
which was won by Brother Frank
Robinson. We express our appre
ciation to the entire college com
munity in making that project a
success.
The Brothers of Delta Gamma
are extremely proud of Brother
James Herring, Basileus of our
chapter and a member of the sen
ior class, who was chosen to repre
sent the Student Government at a
meeting in Washington, D. C.
Brother Herring, a tactful and tire
less worker, looks forward to this
occasion with much enthusiasm.
The men of Delta Gamma, Broth
ers James Rountree, John Smith,
Kenneth Travitt, Arthur Knight,
Robert Melvin, Hayves Streeter,
Henry Mears, James Herring, Lar
ry Hendon and Robert Drake, wish
to encourage all students to put
their best foot forward in striving
to achieve academic excellence in
1963.

Mr. F. A. Rodgers, Advisor
The members of the Epsilon Zeta
chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha
Fraternity would like to extend a
very hearty welcome to those of
you who are entering this institu
tion for the first time this semes
ter, and to those of you who are
returning. May your stay here at
Fayetteville State prove both pro
fitable and gratifying.
We would also like to extend
felicitations to the newly made
neophytes of the various fraterni
ties and sororities, trusting that you
wiU ascertain those uppermost
intrinsic values that Greekdom ad
vocates. Keep in mind, however,
that our primary objective as
Greeks is not superiority, but lead
ership, and the insatiable desire
to project our race and fellow men.
We feel that as you concentrate
on the academic side of college
life, there is much to be gained
from the pleasurable side also. To
this effect, we have planned an
extensive array of events for the
remainder of the school year.
These programs, while planned by
us, will include the entire student
body.
Realizing that it is nonsense to
talk of the college years as only a
preparation for Ufe, we admonish,
not only our fellow Greeks, but the
entire student body as well, to
join forces in helping to make
our four years here at Fayetteville
State the most profitable we have
ever spent, or will ever spend,
knowing that they are part of life-
just as much as any other four
year period.
The members of the local chap
ter of the Fraternity are: Calvin
Gay, President; Gene A. Powell,
Vice President; Frederick Lock
hart. Secretary; C. Philip Shaw,
Assistant Secretary; J. Vernon
Brown, Treasurer; Tyrone Wynn
and Fred McAllister, Deans of
Pledgees; Willie Graham, and
James Hawthorne.
Success to you.
C. Philip Shaw, Reporter

dents who are entering this insti
tution for the first time this second

York.
Pi Chapter has high hopes for the
remainder of the school year.
Among some of the coming co
sponsored events are Zetalite BaU,

Bigger and Better Business. Our
speaker for the Bigger and Better
Business Program will be Brother
Robert Franklin, Jr., Judge of
Municipal Court, Toledo, Ohio. This
event will take place on April 21,

The Brothers, namely, Roosevelt
Daniels, Paul Gerald, Roy Heming
way, John Jessup, Joseph J. John

hard so as to achieve a grandiose
success.

$29 For $1
A four-year college education is
estimated to cost $6,200.
The difference between the life
time earnings of a man with a
high school education and one with
a four-year college education is
$178,000, according to Dr. Herman
P. Miller of the Bureau of the
Census. Similarly, the lifetime in
come of women who graduate
from college is much greater than
those who graduate from high
school.
It appears, therefore, from a
purely business standpoint that
every graduate from high school
who desires a college education
but for financial reasons feel that
such an education is not possible
might consider borrowing sufficient
funds for this investment in life
time earnings.

olina boys and girls in securing a

dent Loan fund. Under the plan of
operation for this Fund, any North
Carolina boy or girl who wants to
go to a college in North Carolina
and who is accepted by a North
Carolina college or university, may
apply for loans of $500 annually,
such loans to be repaid with inter
est following graduation.
A loan of $500 will not cover the
total annual cost of a college edu
cation, but it will be helpful; and
perhaps, if the student lives at
home, will be entirely sufficient.
What better financial investment
can a young boy or girl make, even
if the entire cost is borrowed, then
a return of $29.00 for each $1.00
invested.
