Significant Implications of the 1952 Joint ACI-IR Convention By SALLIE UBY EDWARDS Grand Basilcus, Sigma Gamma Hho Sorority In my opinion the Joint Convention o[ the member organizations of the American Council on Human Hights was the most significant development of the 50 years existence of the coll giate Greek letter organizations for Negroes. For too long our groups have been characterized by a self-propagating, competitive spirit which has hindered the eff ectivencss of our programs. The idea of cooperative effort on which the ACHH was founded reached a fitting climax in the meeting in Cleveland, Ohio, in December, 1952. Although it did not represent full participation of all members of the participating groups - at least the novelty of the idea was accepted and appreciated by all who were in attendai ce. To paraphrase a statement from one or the speakers of the ACHR business meeting-cooperation was the kenote of this epochal occasion. Such a meetingsuch a place of mecting-woul<l not have been possible without the "concerted efforts" of the six groups. I have always felt that we do not folly realize the potential strength of our organization. To some extent the meeting in Cleveland was a tangible cl monstration of the latent powers we possess. The general public of hoth racial groups gained a new respect for the Greek 1 ttcr collegiate sorority and fraternity as they realized that the programs of the groups arc not entirely social. The fellowship of the members from all six groups in the hotels, in the social affairs, the public meeting, the business meeting of ACIIH, and individual contacts has served to create a warm, friendly feeling which should do much to offset the cold, competitive attitude of prev ious years. To me, this is of trcrncndous importance especially for our members of undergraduate status. The opportunity to share program ideas and problems did much to enlighten and encourage many persons. I refer specifically to the luncheon meeting of the Sorority Directorates. Although no formal program was possible for that occasion because of time, many Favorable comments have been expressed on lhe value of that mcottng, The scholarships awarded hy each of the six groups, the constructive plans for more cxtcuxivc service through om respective national projects, the support given to national and international affairs bv our resolutions, and the deliberations of our individual meetings have made a lasting impression 011 every person who attended. \Ve arc considered a leadership group many of us have attained some degree of success in our chosen professions. It is our rr-sponsihility lo acquaint thC' membership of our groups and those W<' SNVC with the values gained f rom the 19,52 Joint Convention. The American Council on f I uman High ts has he come known to many more people than ever before. W« have presented oursC'hes as a strong oruanization with a vital program lo offer. l t behooves us now to live up to the n-putation we h,\\l' established. 1'.\CE FOLJH

To me the summation of all that has been said is beautiful xpress ·d in words taken from the report on the American Council on IIuman Hights as written for th Souvenir Program of the 1952 Joint Convention. It read in part:"What is the great idea that binds us together? lt is that the members of our fraternities and sororiti s should play an active role, as Greeks, in the great American struggle to abolish segregation and provide equality of justice and opportunity for all our people."

Even on this level, however, there arc some specific instances or colour prejudice, 1 am told. And on the grander scale it certainly exists but in a far mor subtle manner, and therefore is more difficult to attack.

Wise Counsel By Soror Lullelia W. Harrison (For Graduates) A good graduate chapter is not anxious to initiate women in the community just because they have degrees, nor because they are good club member , nor because they are your good friends. You will be wiser to use your influence on your college daughter, relative or neighbor and urge her to join Zeta in college. The campus girls do a much better jol of making sincere sisters rather than club women who soon tire and retire. (For Under-Graduates) Screen your applicants carefully before accepting thorn For membership in the Archonian Club. Then urge them to qualify for initiation as quickly as possible.

Emphasize That We Want Zetas to Have: 1. Scholarship;

2. Personable personalities; ,3. Lady-like conduct, and

4. Sisterly love. varsity of procedure, there is still utter necessity for combined and unified efforts to achieve an ultimate end.

lf this postulate can be accepted as a major premise, then members of organizations like ours can easily recognize their ob ligations. First th re is overwl elming reason for acquisition of knowledge-about peoples, places, and things related to this world-wide problem of race. Ignorance has long been our enemy, and sometimes the ignorance of the intellectual is appalling. Let none of us become guilty of complacency because we have acquired an infinitesimal bit of "culture" or achieved a certain little place in a specified area of education in which we may personally be engaged. Far be it from me to disparage the mastery of "the best that has been written and known in the world" as Matthew Arnold put it. But like him, I would also condemn the Philistinism of the smug middle class-and l would carry it a step further to include those who pretend to some intellectual accomplishments. Because technological and scientific marvels of this second half of the twentieth century have Far outstripped the wildest imagination of Arnold's clay, it is imperative that we who live i.n these limes recognize the handwriting on the wall. We should be able to read in that writing the moral responsibility, the preservation of human rights have not kept pace with the materialistic advances. That is where we need to begin. Vve cannot look with indifference or curiosity upon the struggles in Johannesburg any more than we can look with coldness upon a racial "incident" in the deep South. Time and space have become negligible in the province of travel and of thought. As men and women committed to the proposition that all men are created free and equal, w are obliged to dedicate ourselves to this proposition in the role of citizens of the world. PAGE NINE

Daytona Beach, Fla=-Charles Robert Taylor, teacher and Government employee, was born in Bowling Green, Ky. He was educated in the public schools of his home town; Kentucky State College, Frankfort, Ky., Howard University (AB); additional study at Indiana University, Iowa State University and the Catholic University of America. He has taught in the public schools in Bowling Green, Ky., and Muskogee, Okla. At Howard University, he was president of the K ntucky State Club; member of the College Choir and Men's Glee Club, and secretary of the Alpha Chapter, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. In 1920, at the Atlanta Conclave, he was appointed national executive secretary and during this period he realized that a sister organization would give life and inspiration to the brotherhood and, with the aid of Soror Arizona Cleaver, the first sister of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority was born. On [anuary 17, 1953, the New York Zetas honored Brother Charles H. Taylor, A. L. Taylor (no relation), one of Sigma's founders, and the five founders of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority at their Third Annual Founders Day Dinner.

The Day Nursery as a Factor in Reducing Delinquency Alpha Iota Zeta Chapter's Nursery School Project Combats Juvenile Delinquency. (An Archonian's Observation) Tulsa, Okla.-A nursery in the sense of which I speak is a place set apart for the care of young children. It has as its function the providing of care, protection and training of young children from the ages ol one to six. These six years arc the most important in any child's life, when his or her first imprcssious arc made, whether good or bad. The children of today are very fortunate in that the parents today know more about bringing up their children, have more knowledge about how children grow and develop. Some mothers keep records of their childror 's health, growth and development, but do they take time out to sec to it that the health is good, that the growth is all around and that the development is at least normal'? I am sorry to have to say that most mothers do not. Too many of them have to leave their homes daily to work, and a large J?Crccnlage or the ones left arc in society and put that Hrst, and as such arc out of the homes as much as the working moth 'r. A large proportion of the few left in the homes arc professional or political minded and the majority of the children arc left alone or with untrained "Baby-Sitters," most of the important years of their lives. The Bible says, "Train · up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Parents cannot train children away from them. Tho poor, little', innocent "things" almost have to rear themselves wlicn there is 110 clay nursery to provide for them. They are at home all day until mother comes home from work, they have to make their own decisions, with little or no knowledge of right and wrong, with great struggles, trying to feed themselves and mend up their wounds of both hody and soul. Weary and lonely, many of them become delinquent before they arc school age. No manners taught, no knowledge of Goel or of right and wrong. Mother is too tired to answer questions which she too often calls silly or stupid, but which arc very important in the life of her child. orr to bod they arc sent with these q ucries unanswered. In the same family individuals differ, so the children differ, they quarrol and misunderstand because of this. And too often gcl bitterness and hatred in thr-ir hearts Loo early. Some parents over-indulge th' children, trying to make up [or their absence in the home, which makes the children greedy, may l say, lazy and overbearing to keep 11p this over-indulgence of mother. Consequently they will do anything to maintain that status and not only become delinquent themselves but drive others to delinquency. Environment too, affects the children, almost nine limes out of ten, unfavornbly, without the guidance of mother. l lahits lorm ,c] follow the line of least resistance. Crowing up is a puzzle and very difficult to a child alone. Then need I say thnt we need clay nurseries, where trained teachers a11c1 nutritionists arc hired lo care for these neglected children; their minds and habits ns well as their bodies? The nurseries proTl IE ABCllO

one with whom you can share it. Every triumph takes on splendor when there is someone else who is glad because of your success. The sixth value to be achieved is transmutation of evil. Grief, sorrow, disappointment, failure, and pain are all evils. It is not suggested that these evils cea ·e to be evils when they are experienced by friends; but that they take on a different quality when shared by those who have deep regard for one another. "Blessed are they that mourn; forthey shall be comforted." A seventh value to be achieved is cooperative devotion to a common cause. No life can ever experience the greater values if it is limited in its enjoyment to that which happens to exist at the present moment. Only when the present is integrated as one essential component of vast experience from the past and reaches far into the future, can any great values be experienced. But the development of such a life purpose, at least for the ordinary man, is impossible unless he lives for the sake of others whose intere ts he shares. Friendship is a work of art which requires a life's devotion. Archonian Keyser is a Senior at Morgan State College. She majors in Sociology. vidc clean, well cared for quarters for them. They have medical care before diseases take hold. Nurseries are the greatest agencies 1 know for stopping delinquency. An ounce of prevention is worth more than a lifetime of cure. This is the basic philosophy of the true day nursery. Save the children now while they are so young and they will not have to be rescued later. To have healthy, happy and well-rounded children is to build healthy, happy and well-rounded citizens and a better democracy. It is very important to have young children under trained supervision. These nursery schools are needed badly and arc not provided by the regular school systems, too expensive perhaps they say, but "Let us have them wherever needed," says Alpha Iota Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta in Tulsa, Okla., to save our precious loved ones from delinquency. Alpha Iota Zeta supports and fights for Dunbar Day Nursery because she knows its value in the fight against delinquency, in the city of Tulsa. Hats off to the chapter for this great and noble effort to prevent delinquency in our fair city. Let us take the position that it is better to prevent it than to strive to cure it. It is our mission to save our childr n in their youth rather than rescue them in their maturity. Insuring and rescuing, we fight a losing battle, the children arc often lost before they can be reached. It costs far less to keep and support the nurseri s than to provide recreation centers, training schools, prisons, ctc., after the children have become delinq ucnt, And many more lives are saved while they are still young and useful, from delinquency. I close my essay by saying, "Train up a child in tho way he should go; when he is old he will not depart from it." Let us maintain the day nurseries, if we would PHEVENT DELINQUENCY.

PACE NINETEE

Emergency Action Needed to Save Public Housing Addressed to the Nationa! Board of Directors and Presidents of Loco! Councils, American Co1111cil 011 Hu man Rights, and dated A/,ril 27, 1953, the following 11u·1110ra11d11111 was received by the Editor. Washington, D. C.-Last week the House of Representatives refused to vote any appropriation for public housing in the Independent Offices Appropriation Bill in a move that will virtually result in the ending of the public housing program. Pre ident Eisenhower had recomm ncled to Congress that sufficient funds be voted to permit 35,000 public housing units to be constructed during the next fiscal year. Thus, the House not only ignored one of America's most urgent needs, but turned its back on the new President. These are strange times. The public housing program is designed to aid families of low-income whose housing needs cannot be met by private enterprise. Negro 'S, the greatest sufferers from bad housing conditions, have, because of their acute requirements, benefittc<l proportionately from the program more than other groups. Roughly one-third of the public housinz built by the Federal Government and by local housing authorities with Federal fonds are occupied by colored families. OL1r people have a vital stake in the continuance and expansion of these projects. All hope will be lost if the action of the House of Representatives prevails.

ACHR'S PLEA TO THE SE ATE The bill now moves to the Set ate and is being considered by the Senate Appropriations Committee. On Saturday, April 2.5, the director of th' American Council on Human Rights app ared before the Appropriations Committe and gave the following testimony (in part): "We are here to urze you with all of Lill' vigor al our command to support and sustain President Eis mhower in his budgetary request for tlw Housing and Horne Financ(' Agency, to seek its adoption on the floor of the Senate and lo insist upon it in the subscqur-nt conference with the J Ions<' of Hoprcsontntives. "In our judgt-mr-nt, the action of th« House in l'i iminaling public housing from the hill and in reducing lllC' race rclut ions staff or the Agency were the most disastrous and unwise ucls taken by that body in recent rears. We hope that a cornph-tely dificrenl view-point will prevail in this chnmlx-r. "Housinz for [ow-inconu- dtil.(•ns in Anu-ricn is one of lhcmost vital needs facing our country.

What Can A Teen-Ager Do to Help Curb Delinquency Continued from page 24

ager's leisure time he has done something to help train himself for some skill. There are many things that can be done toward providing good leisure time activities. Teen-agers need recreation centers where they can meet to have fun. 1, ew teen-agers who a.re active in youth groups or clubs become delinquents. Parents and children should become companions, working and playing together and delinquents can be helped to learn useful skills and ways of serving others. Attendance to Religious Services regularly is very helpful in preventing Juvenile Delinquency.

M BS. JULI A HAYW OOD "Zotn o{ the Ycnr"

If teen-agers are allowed to take part in religious services they become so interested until they have little desire to do wrong. Church can do lot. Teachers there can stress the difference between right and wrong. Talk when necessary about how to prevent Juvenile Delinquency. Discuss things to do and places to go.

You don't have to tell how you live each day. You don't have to say if you work or play. A tried true barometer serves in the places. However you live it shows in your face The faults, the deceit you bear in your heart will not stay inside Where they got the first start. The blood, the sinew, are a thin vale lace. What you hear in your heart, you wear in your face. lf you've gambled and won in the great game of life. lf you feel that you've conquered all savor and strife. l f you've played a fair game and stand on first base. You don't have to tell, it shows in your face.

Alpha Theta Zeta Has Closed Affair on Founders' Day Savannah, Ga.-Alpha Theta Zeta Chapter observed Founder's Day in January with a closed affair at the palatial home of Soror Ione Trice, Mills B. Lane. A most impressive program was presented-tributes to our national and local founders, our officers, a review of our accomplishments as a sorority. Music was rendered by the chapter octette. On the night of February 2, 1953, Alpha Theta Zeta presented the well-known group "Tropicana", This dance group, under the direction of Talley Beatty, was very enthusiastically received by an appreciative audience. The sorors feel that their presentation of this type of artistic achievement will contribute to the cultural cl ivcloprnont of our city. Alpha Theta Zeta joined with Rho Beta in the observance of Finer Womanhood Weck. We worshipped at th Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Rev. John Q. Adams, pastor, on Sunday morning, February 22, 1953. The basilcus gave gr tings from our chapter and present eel a small purse to the pastor to be used as the church s cs fit. H -pledgc services were held at the home of Soror Carrie Hob rts on Saturday night, February 21, 1953, with Sorors Roberts and Matilda Rivers serving as joint hostesses. On Sunday, March l, 1953, the two chapters presented a r cital at the vesper services of Savannah State College, The guest soloist was Miss Tommy Amos, a sophomore of Ft. Valley State College, who is also an Archonian. Miss Amos shows great promise and was most heartily received by tho students and visitors. Incid ntly, Miss Amos won second prize in the recent Horace I kidl show in Macon, Georgia. We suggest that Z tas k cp an eye out for her name beaus we p rdict that she will go far. The final activity of our Finer Womanhood Week was a coffcc hour for th servicemen. This coffc hour was given at the YMCA Sunday morning, March 8, 1953.

The business sessions were held in the auditorium of the Alfred E. Beach High School. The public program was presented at St. Phillips' Methodist Church, followed by the Sigma reception at the YMCA. The closed luncheon was Saturday afternoon at the beautiful Paradise Restaurant. The meetings were climaxed on a note of gayely-the Zeta dance at the Coconut Grove. Many courtesies were extended the sorors by Greeks, non-Greek groups and interested individuals. We will ever be grateful for the hospitality which our friends showered on our guests while they were in our "cityby-the-sea". Alpha Theta Zeta won first place in the "Night of Stars" sponsored by Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity February 27, 1953. Our contestant was Little Betty King Davis, a five year old soprano who stole the hearts of her listeners with her singing of "I Went To Your Wedding". Our chapter was fortunate enough to have two representatives at the boule' in Cleveland in December. Basileus Anita M. Stripling and Sorer Madeline G. Harrison reported having had a most delightful, inspiring and informative experience. News of what other chapters are accomplishing gives us the incentive needed to spur us on to more useful activity. At the present we arc concentrating on the improving of our juvenile delinquency project. Soror Stripling is director for this region. Mabel Hanshaw, Antapokritis Z<T>B

SOUTH CE TRAL RECIO AL CO FERENCE

South Central Regional Convenes in Little Rock, Arkansas Little Hock, Ark.- lpha Mu Zeta graciously and efficiently served as hostess chapter to the South Central Regional which had for its thei e "Securing Civil Liberties in a Free World." Our own versatile Grand Basileus, Dr. Nancy Bullock Woolridge in her customary charming manner, nthrall d all who heard her in the delivery of her address "Look At This Day." Dr. Woolridge vividly d pictecl three major characteristics of this so-called age of the common man: insecurity, intolerance, and incornp tence. In an explanation of these traits or the clay, she expressed the id a, "Insecurity arises from fears arising within us . . . intolerance is based on insecurity or fear and, basically, intolerance is b cau e of incomp t nee." The fact was pointed out in Dr. Woolridgc's discourse, also, that anti-intellectualism is the order of tho day-this day of the common man, and that we are giving adjustment rather than intellectuality to the youth of the day. The gu st speaker pondered seriously over the somewhat over-emphasized common age. She projected the question, "Is the common man too common?" As a prescription for the present day ills, she advised her audience to take heed of Corinthians 13:13 and rem mber that love is the keynote to success and happiness. As Dr. Woolridge neared the close of her address, she pleaded p rsuasively with her listeners to "Look to This Day" as did the ancients of India who xpressed so viv idly and real istically in "The Salutation of the Dawn" the thoughts: Look to this day For it is life, the· very life· of life. For yesterday is but a dream nd tomorrow is only a vision, Hut today well-lived makes every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness nd every tomorrow a Vision of Hop ·! Look well. therefore, to this day!

Dr. Woolridge, consultant at the workshop, summarized thus: H clamatious should be studi d purpos fully and adjustment mad accordingly; graduat chapt 'rs do owe vcrything •x mplifying fin r womanhood lo th undergraduate chapters, for as ar th graduate chapters so arc the undergraduate ones.

Maturity Option for E Bond Holders "My E Bonds arc now coming due. L don't need the cash. What should I do with them?" This question is being asked by many people all over the country who had enough foresight to invest in Savings Bonds during World War II and who now have a n 'St egg for their future needs. Well, a method has been planned whereby you don't have to cash your Bonds. This method is called MATUHlTY OPTIO , and under this new plan, $7,5 invested grows to a total of $1.'34.68 during the full term of 192j years. This is an 0 per cent increase over the original investment.

Obsequies were conducted Ionday afternoon, from Second Baptist Church for Mr . Fannie Lou Harrison, popular San Antonio, Texas city school teacher, member of Zeta Phi Beta sorority, and dynamic figure in community activities. She succumbed Friday morning, March 6, 1953, at her home.

Obsequies Held for Prominent Zeta of San Antonio

Seve11ty-fivc percent of all people who bought E Bonds during World War JI arc taking advantage of the maturity option plan and arc continuing their Bonds in force. This optional extension beyond maturity provides a 3 percent investment yield up Lo 10 years more. This is a practical and common sense answer to the question, "What should l do with my maturing Bondsr" You don't have to do anything. You don't have to notify anybody. You just hold on to your Bonds and your investment automatically continues to grow and CHOW and G-H-O-W.

VOICES OF THE NATIONAL OFFICERS NANCY B. WOOLRIDGE Grand Basileus As we have unpacked and settled ourselves for this year's stint, let us move into our activities with refreshing enthusiasm and determination to folfill our obligations completely and thoroughly. Let us carry along the inspiration and information acquired at our recent Boule and Joint Convention at Cleveland, Ohio, throughout the year. With thoughtful recognition of our national program, we cannot afford to dawdle a moment by the way. I therefore urge you to work with us in making every effort to hold effective and lively sessions at the several assemblages which we shall be sharing in this non-Boule year. You will be greatly rewarded for your efforts and the results of careful thinking will be gratifying to you as you see the progress which your chapter, state or region will be making. Please always keep in mind that if each of us helps the other in a sisterly manner there is no limit to our contribution to Zeta.

VELMA C. BUNCH First Anti-Basileus It has been gratifying to note the very fine way in which you responded to the call for Finer Womanhood Week observance. Please accept my sincere thanks for your full cooperation. There are a few matters of importance that I would like to re-emphasize, i.e.: All applications for membership into the sorority should be sent to this office for approval. All applications for graduate membership should be sent with a transcript from the office of the college from which the person graduated-to affirm and assure graduation. This office is urging yon to please sec to it, that these applications and transcripts are sent early enough to give ampl . time to examine them and return necessary information to you in time for initiation. No person is to be initiated until her application has been approved by the ational Office. All application must be filled in, in ink and approved by the Basileus of the local chapter before they are sent to this office for final approval. It is vital in the case of graduate persons that we take into consideration their scholastic standing. A graduate should have a L5 average, at least. In the case of undergraduates, the average has usually been approved by the campus officials responsible for fraternities and sororities. If there is any assistance that I can rend r, I will be happy to do all within my power possible.

ARIZO A C. TEMO S Chairman of Executive Board This comes a· a sisterly rcq ucst to have yon express your love for one of us who is very ill. Soror Huth Thibod aux has been confined to her bed for several weeks. We fear that she has a very serious complaint, and OIi(' of the sorors has advised that her medical attention is most expensive. We feel sure that you, her sisters, will be happy to share in some tangible way. Lf you haw not done so, please send a small check made to her to th Executive Secretary's office immediately, PAGE SIXTY-E!GJIT

May we also suggest that each Regional Director write her graduate chapters and ask them to send Sorer Thibodeaux a card and at least $1.00. Your complete cooperation will he more than appreciated.
