FOCUS TOWARD

A TRIBUTE TO A GREAT SOROR By SOROR ALVA F. MAULL

Soror Emma J. Dewberry truly exemplified the ideas of our Sorority. She was a sincere, dedicated, earnest, and loyal Zeto. In her capacity as Executive Secretory, she was industrious, efficient, self-sacrificing, and always willing to lend a helping hand. To emulate her is the epitome of "Finer Womanhood." Soror Dewberry will long be remembered for her devotion and service to Zeto Phi Beto Sorority, Incorporated. The dedication of this edition of the ARCHON is a fitting tribute to a soror who's life hos been lived in the highest tradition of the sorority.

IN MEMORY OF THE LATE SOROR EMMA J. DEWBERRY

Grand Basileus Isabel M. Herson wishes to personally express her thanks to all for the expressions through cards, telegrams, telephone calls, services and all other indications of love for our late Sorer Emma J. Dewberry. Your response to ZETA's call was overwhelming. LET

SOROR DOROTHY~ LEE

Greetings, Sorors:

MYRTLE T. FAITHFUL R.F.D. #2 Flushing, Ohio 43977

As I reflect upon my election to this office as Editor of the ARCHON, I have had many pleasurable thoughts and experiences.

VIOLA T. GOINGS R.R. # 4, Jamestown Road Springfield, Ohio 45502

I have learned a great deal in this short period of time, and have tried to live up to the spirit and sense- of dedication that permeated at our Fiftieth Anniversary Boule.

PEARL NEAL 126 Mortin Street Charlotte, North Carolina 28208

I accepted the challenge of this office with a lot of vim and vitality and I have tried to the best of my ability to produce an ARCHON representative of ZETA.

FANNIE P. WATTS 396 Decatur Street Brooklyn, New York 11233

I personally would like to thank the Executive Board, Regions and individual Sorors who responded to my call. ZETA IS NEWS and ZETAS are making the news daily! The growth of this, our National "Organ", depends upon you, my sorors. Let us redirect and rededicate ourselves to spreading the news about ZETA. Did you know: There are many ZETAS involved in worthwhile activities and projects in your community? There are many activities and projects in your community sponsored by Zetas? There are ZETAS receiving special recognitions, new appointments, honors, etc. in your community? If the answer is yes to those questions, send this information and pictures to the office of the ARCHON so that others will also see and know.

"The 8:c~ievements of science and technology con~rast v1_v1dly, says Barry Commoner, with the quality of hfe - we can nourish a man in the supreme isolation of outer space, but we cannot adequately feed the children of the ghettos. We hope to analyze life on other planets, but we have not yet learned ~o understand our own neighbors. We are attemptmg to live on the moon, but cannot yet live peacefully on the earth." We are here in the middle of what Alvin M. Weinberg calls "tough times". Our country is wracked ~y racial unrest and by Vietnam, ~y decaying C!t1es,. and by unabated pollution, by cnme and by hippyism and by drug and crime influences.

THE

CALL

Relevance to Contemporary Issues - A Focus Toward Total Concern For Human Beings

Where are we, Zeta Women? What stand are we taking in the solution of these problems and issues? The changing pattern of women's lives indicate that a revolution is occurring - a revolution which requires that wom_en develop a new self-image and that they engage m basic preparation for meeting the challenges brought about in this period of accelerating change. Where are we? How do our efforts, our interests, and our actions relate to these contemporary issues, and to what extent do we show total concern for all human beings? Zeta Phi Beta Sorority answers it through its national theme which serves as its guideline for programming "Relevance to Contemporary Issues - A Focus Toward Total Concern for Human Beings".

Women of Zeta - My Beloved Sorors: As we come to another Boule we, among all other things, are faced with the great fundamental in our natural life - our common belief that every human being is divinely endowed with dignity and worth and inalienable rights. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority has great concern for the human problems of our people. We have total concern for all human beings, that they may have the opportunity to lead a healthy, productive and rewarding life. Let's face it! We are our brother's keeper! And only as we know how our brother feels can we hope to get along with him or engage in service FOR him. Our national theme dictates this, for it reminds us of our needed interest in issues o( today which concern all mankind, and it leads us to focus our attention toward total concern for all human beings. We know now that the human problems and needs of people include more than those that are physiological - such as food, water, sleep, rest, shelter, clothing - though we know that these are most significant. By contrast, there are the psychological needs which are important determinants of behavior; which are never completely satisfied or ,met - need for affection, for belonging, for achievement, for independence, social rccogni tion, self-esteem. Physiological or psychological, they are human needs and we, Zeta Women, are concerned. Our challenge is to face it and to do something about it. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority was founded on the principles of service and love and we believe that one of the greatest privileges one can enjoy is that of giving service. Our program i designed for that purpose, for no longer mu t we think of our organization as a pursuit of pleasure, of fun and thrills. Our concept mu t have greater depth - a concept which indicate a force for good, for justice, for equality of human rights.

Never has relevance to the "way of life" been more important than it is today; because today the world has much to cope with and isolation is not the answer. The solutions rest in strength of action in combined concern. Zetas must face up to - the Chapters - the Regions - the Nation. There is much to be done and we have a charge to keep.

It is no wonder, then, that we have chosen as our national concern Welfare, Health and Educational Services with specifi emphasis the Boule term on Child Care in a Healthy Environment for the Improvement of Living in This New Decade". Through this target we cooperate with the thought presented in the pream_ble Lo the report of the delegates to the 1970 White House Conference on Children - To those who have food, it is intolerable that there is a child somewhere in our land who is illnourished. To those who live beneath a sound roof it is intolerable that there should be a child who' is illhoused and without adequate cloth s. That we are well, so then is iL intolerable that a child is ne dies ly sick or lives in an environment that poisons his body or mind. That we have th knowl dge, so then is it intolerable that there is some child who docs not have a full opportunity to learn. We must r cognizc that there is som child in sp. cial need so rnewh re. A soci ty that neglects its children and fears its youth cannot care about its future.

We arc on the threshold of a new c ntury at a point where there is a profound combination of revolutions - a s ries of revolutions - that arc drastically changing the economic, social, political

I call our great organization - Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. - to action, and challenge my sorors of this great Sisterhood to "face the target". The aim is our community. Have you hit or have you missed? Your special project is the answer. I am sure you are among those who have reported the sponsorship of such projects as Youth Workshops, Day Care Centers, Family Assistance Projects, Special ZIP Projects, Homes for Unwed Mothers, Volunteer Family Service, Foster Homes, etc. If you are not among those who have done this, then begin now! We must implement our National Objectives. I refer you to the "Every Chapter - A Project" column in your newsletter from the office of the Grand Basileus.

ours? The future shape and substance of our sorority can be reasonably predicted in broad outline by observing developments that are presently taking place. Based upon this, I would predict a bright and rich future for Zeta! It is no wonder that more than 24,000 women have bound themselves together by a pledge into one organization for common purposes. This membership includes women in the profession of medicine, law, dentistry, pharmacy, the fine arts, invention, music, economics, painting, teaching, the government, and other areas of higher learning. To think of this quality of preparation there must not be any barrier which we cannot surmount. The question has been asked if Zeta could meet the challenges of the 70's. In the words of another of our sorors, "Certainly an organization that has withstood five decades must be founded upon lasting values and built upon a firm foundation with altruistic purposes. In order to have attracted to its membership women of every race, creed and color, representing all areas of vocational and professional choices, Zeta must have developed a program and a structure commensurate with its values and goals". Why not come to grips with the challengtehs of the 70's? If not alone, then with joined forces of Zeta's affiliates - National Council of Negro Women, The National Pan-Hellenic Council, Council of National Organizations of Children and Youth, The Association of Adult Education, Women In Community Service, The Child Welfare League of America and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

Secondly, it is no wonder that we have chosen as a point of emphasis, Zeta's Image. Every soror is responsible for this image. Now, I do not have reference to our physical appearance only. This image of which I speak goes beyond that. I suppose the word which describes it best is "involvement". This provides the image. Every one of us is aware of the many challenges confronting us today Woman Power, National Educational Dilemma, Air and Water Pollution, Hunger, Poverty, Hidden Racism and Humanism. How involved are we as Zeta women in meeting these challenges? If we are to improve our image, be it Zeta, Sigma, Amicae, it is important and necessary that we commit ourselves to these concerns. We must be heard, we must be felt in our communities or we'll have no image. We are a service organization. In rendering this service I cannot promise you that there will not be much labor, I cannot promise you that there will not be dangerous risks, disappointments, sleepless nights, but I cean promise you a fulfillment of dedication to five women who fifty- two years ago had in mind THIS DAY when they, together, planned for the perpetuation of "service", when ihey chos it as an ideal upon which great Zeta was founded. To what extent will you assume responsibility for improving Zeta's image?

It is no wonder that every chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. gives full support to the National March of Dimes in its fight against SickleCell Anemia - a major killer of American Blacks - a disease afflicting up to 13 per cent of the U. S. population - killing half of its victims before the age of 20. In support of this, presented to the Board will be the recommendation that "Stork's Nest" become Zeta's National Project.

Thirdly, it is no wonder that we have included among our concerns Greater Involvement of Our Undergraduates in Zeta's Total Program. These are our youth and we are fortunate that they, too, comprise Zeta's membership. They are more sophisticated, more knowledgeable, more interested in education, politics, and racial pride than ever before. If we bring them more into the program through leadership rol s, tho greater the possibility of our success and the greater the strength of their future and of our sorority. Our young sorors must be entrusted with real responsibilities, with consequential undertaking, not mere duties. Th ends and means must be determined by them, not someone else. Th y must be given the chance for good

It is no wonder that Zeta Women are becoming deputized to register persons for voting - mobilizing to see that they get to the polls. But, my Sorors, we cannot see that these accomplishments are made, with or without the affiliates, unless we get into the action. Involvement is essential, for "Only when we act," said the late Dr. Martin L. King, "are rights on paper given lifeblood". We can give this life-blood! We have the responsibility! We have the power! The cadence of our steps must be in tune with that which marks the time of progress. Don't get out of step, Zetas if we do, we shall find ourselves pushed aside while the "rest of the world goes by"!

judgment, decision-making and risk. Ii is only then that we can expect the fulfillment of their potentials. Gr at r involvement is what I am constantly ncouraging, for who but they are the life-blood and ihe perpetuators of ibis great sisterhood of

Zetas Hold Shower For Stork's Nest As a part of Zeta Phi Beta's Finer Womanhood Week, Epsilon Zeta Chapter sponsored a diaper shower for Zeta's Stork's Nest, 80 Central Avenue. The Stork's Nest is a store operated by Zetas for distribution of maternity and baby needs to low income families referred by local health and welfare agencies. H is the major Civic Project of Zeta Phi Beta, Epsilon Chapter. Goods are contributed by interested citizens and are available to referred "patientcustom rs" at little or no cost.

FORGING AHEAD Dear Sorors: Winter passes with its freezing temperatures, ice and snow. Then along comes spring with its tender flowers peeping from the earth, and the green, new grass emerging from the dead, dull brown tresses of winter. Tiny buds show forth on the trees, as all God's creation prepares for the awakening of spring from the long sleep of winter. Glorious spring; a new beginning; a world made new. New hope! New life! New dedication to the exciting challenges that confront us daily; new duties and responsibilities that bid us, be up! and away! to greet a brand new day! While we deplore many factors in America today, we address ourselves to her tremendous problems with optimism and hope, recognizing the fact that America has been incredibly blessed, even in the area of freedom, and that what we regard as poverty in America is in many lands wealth beyond the highest imagination. We must never be blinded to the fact that God has blessed these United States and we are indeed grateful for the privileges which we do enjoy. It has been gratifying to note the splendid way that Sorors everywhere have responded to the challenges and calls of our Grand Basileus and of Zeta in their various communities and most especially has this been evidenced during Finer Womanhood observances through your many activities. Please accept sincere thanks from me, as the Chairman of the National Executive Board, for your fine spirit of cooperation and support. We bow our hearts in deep submission to the will of God in the passing of sorors, friends and loved ones, and most especially do we reverence the memory of our dedicated and devoted National Executive Secretary, Soror Emma Dewberry. It is from the example of such lives as these that we take increased devotion to the unfinished tasks and goals of Zeta.

Sisterly yours, SOROR JEWEL P. LIVINGSTON Chairman of Executive Board

A MESSAGE FROM THE THIRD ANTI-BASILEUS

Dear Sorors: It's a far more pleasant thought knowing you help some expectant mother, some physically or mentally defective child cope with their problems than to think your activities are causing problems. Too of ten this has been the case. I'm convinced we could really make a name for Zeta Phi Beta Sorority among the lay people in the community if we were truly sincere about reaching out and being a worthwhile institution in the minds of the people. We must do just that if we're going to survive and thrive. As I leave the office of the Third Anti-Basileus, I hope I can leave you with the same feelings of excit ment, the same spirit of "WE CAN DO" and an enthusiasm which has been hard to quell. I believe in Zeta, I believe in our total Sisterhood and I'm thoroughly convinced that we could send a :....ave of concern across this land like a tidal wave rushing toward its victims on shore. Let's victimize our people, show them how much we care. Share our acquired knowledge to help lift them up. That's the CAN DO spirit that wells within me. We are so sorely needed. Again, I'm ~rateful for the privilege to have served you. I tried to do so to the best of my ability. Zeta has afforded me the opportunity to grow and develop and expand. I'm quite a young lady now, and I'm branching out! Thank you for engulfing me.

It's been a marvelously beautiful experience serving you. Thank you for the undeniable privilege. Since Boule, we've tried to stimulate undergraduate interest, and lend help and support wherever needed. We hope that some chapters profited. The response of many chapters has been tremendous, while others didn't heed the call. That is unfortunate because if we were sincerely carrying out our National Program of Relevance teo Contemporary Issues - a Focus Toward Total Concern for Human Beings, reports of varied activities would be flowing into my office. Let's not discount the value in bringing forth a sound generation. The dividends pay off in countless ways. Our project, RIGHT ON WITH ZIP (Zetas Involvement Program), is an honest attempt at getting at our people's gravest problem in America today, sound health. We realize the thrust toward the menacing disease, Sickle Cell Anemia, but other devastating problems also prevail. Hunger and malnutrition, to say the least, head the list. There is enough elasticity in our national health program for every chapter in Zeta, graduate and undergraduate alike, to be innovative and deliver some effective service. The apportunity presents itself in many forms in each of our communities. It isn't an unusual complaint nowadays when undergraduates begin to doubt their "relevancy" on the campus. I strongly propose, if they geared their activities in a more constructiv way, they would feel the value of what they were trying to do. Our ZIP was one way of doing just that.

(Continued from Page 11)

To: Regional Directors, Associate Directors and Basilei Regional Directors, Associate Directors and Chapter Basilei are urged to report all local, state and regional Scholarship Awards to the Second Anti-Basileus. These Awards are to be included in the record of Zeta involvement. Thanks to all who have cooperated in this area. Tests for Scholarship Competition for High School Girls The National Executive Board adopted a recommendation for competitive tests to be administered to female high school graduates for Zeta Scholarship Awards. The tests are to be administered and scored at Regional Conferences. Description of the test selected by the National Scholarship Committee is as follows: NAME: Withheld for security reasons. PURPOSE: This test is recommended to be administered to select students for scholarship awards and to help students choose the right kind of college. NUMBER OF TESTS: Three tests which measure abilities needed for success in higher education - Verbal, 15 minutes; Numerical, 35 minutes; Information, 30 minutes; Total Testing Time, 90 minutes. Regional Directors should contact the Second Anti-Basileus for additional information concerning the tests. Tests must be ordered well in advance of your Regional Conference. Junior Colleges a Fertile Field for Zeta Junior College (Community College) students who are enrolled in courses which may be credited toward four-year degrees may become members of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. However, sorors should check with the college to verify the fact that the student is enrolled in courses designed to prepare them to enter as juniors at a four-year college or university. The "Communicator" The "Communicator" is the official newsletter from the office of the Second Anti-Basileus to disseminate information and suggestions to Zeta Chapters. Basilei are urged to share this information with the members of their chapters. Reminder Many students would continue their education if they had the opportunity to learn more about CAREERS. Also, there are many students who are undecided. Why not develop a "CAREER DAY" program? Give these student a chance to decide which life style they should choose. Note of Appreciation It is with deep gratitude that I personally wish to express my sincere appreciation to all for the wonderful cooperation and support given me during the 1970 - '72 Boule term. I would like to further express special appreciation to the Grand Basileus for her help and guidance in the execution of the duties oI the Office.

Regional Marshall

Two hundred and sixty sorors from Massachusetts, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and New York came together "to assess our progress," says Mary B. Hurt, Regional Director of the Atlantic Region of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority. The Regional Conference was held at the StatlerHilton Hotel. Mrs. Hurt continues: "We must gather new momentum to move effectively through today, and to focus our sights on tomorrow." National officers on hand were: Isabel M. Herson, Grand Basileus; Janice G.

Watts and Myrtle Tyler Faithful, National Founders; Vetris Martin, Regional Director for the Southeastern Region; Millie Johnston, Regional Director for the Pacific Region, and Rosalie Kennedy, Associate Director, Washington, D. C.

Regional Marshall, Soror Marion Crist, was loudly applauded for expert leadership in making arrangements for the conference.

Soror Edith Fran ces, Associate Director for the State, congratulated Soror Coursey for involving outstanding community representatives to make our interest and concern of contemporary issues real and participatory.

Charles Robert Taylor of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity had a dream in 1920 that a group of the world's finest women would become sisters to Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. He approached Arizona Cleaver and in 1920, on Howard University's campus, five girls who are referred to now as "Five Pearls" started their sister group - Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. The sorority has enjoyed fifty-one historic years of achievements. Delta Alpha Zeta Chapter celebrated its Twentieth Anniversary last year.

PROJECT "UMOJA" One of our major goals is to establish a "UMOJA" Community Center in which cultural, educational and recreational activities will be stressed. We also realize that many children in the community do not eat breakfast in the morning. To remedy this, we would like to set up a breakfast program. We would be serving breakfast to children during those hours prior to classroom instruction. In closing, we will give you some background information on our organization. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. was founded in 1920 on the· Howard University campus in Washington, D. C. At that time, there were other Black sororiti s, but they were oriented Lo social life. Zeta was found d as a service-oriented organization with the following ideals: Scholarship, Sisterly Love, Finer Womanhood and Service to the Community. The Omicron Beta Chapter, Brooklyn, New York was reactivated last February by the pr s nt four members, with the hope of changing the general ideas that people (especially young people) have about sororities. In the past, sororiti s s m d to have b n for the middle-class bourgcosic and, in most cases, this wa true. The community was dealt with on a superficial lev l and therefore the heart of the problem was n ver attack cl. We f cl that education is very important for the growth and liberation of Black P ople. This is why our fforts will he concentrated in this ar a. Omicron B ta stresses th following ideals: isterly Love, cholarship, and ervico to the Community. We sincerely hop that through our efforts th community will r cogniz th importanc of our goals and aid us in r a bing th m. Pcac , Power, L ve,

We, the sisters of Omicron Beta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., believe that our community is in an educational crisis, and that the school system of New York, as in the rest of the United States, ,is not doing anything positive for Black People. Because of this fact, we find it necessary to establish our "UMOJ A" project. "UMOJA" means unity in Swahili - a language spoken in many parts of Africa. We are using an African word as a symbol of pride in our African heritage. Through out "UMOJA" project, we hope to strengthen the educational skills of the Black students in the community, and also, to instill a sense of cultural awarene s, and pride in being Black. These are the main objectives of our project. To reach these objectives, we intend to set up a tutorial program which will include the following subjects: Math, English, Grammar, Composition, Spelling, Reading Comprehension), Science, History, Spanish, French, plus any other subjects in which help is needed. We will inform the brothers and sisters of the importance of good health habits. Recreational facilities will be made available along with arts and crafts which will include: sewing, crocheting, and knitting. We will be concentrating our efforts on grades one through eight, but this will not exclude anyone else who may be interested in attending or seeking help. We realize that high school guidance and college counselors discourage Black student from continuing their education. Therefore, we will compile a list of colleges and other information that is nee ssarv for high school students preparing to enter college. We will establish these activities on Mondays through Fridays from 3:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 12:00 noon to 5:0 p.m.

considered for a position," Mrs. Gore explained. "I then asked what position and she finally responded." Mrs. Gore is not that familiar with the operations of the Post Office and neither are the majority of the other appointees, but by coincidence she toured the local facility this summer in hopes of finding iob opportunities and requirements for students. In turn, she discovered services offered that she never knew of, such as weekend mail delivery. As anyone can see, the motor in this Aggie employee drives her to help people. "I enjoy activities that involve people," she said recently at her ground floor office in Dudley Building. She radiated a smile from ear to ar that would turn any grumpy faculty member to look on the light side of things. And the faculty and everybody el e em to k ep her busy. She is involved in scores of profes ional activities and leadership positions. Th Zeta Phi Beta Sorority elect d her a th ir national vi epre ident, a group that has 300 chapt r a ro the country. If there is a committee or working organization on the A & T carnpu , he i bound to b a m mb r or it chairman.

How would you like to be the recipient o_f a series of telephone calls over a four-month period, the source seeking unlimited information about your life history? Well North Carolina A & T's Director of Counseling and Testing was in such a position during the summer as a secretary at the White House in Washington, D. C. called more than 10 ti~es '.3-S~ing Mrs. Ruth M. Gore, one of the University s hardest workers, questions about herself. On September 13 all the calls culminated in an announcement that Mr . Gore had been appointed by the White House as on_e of 11 _member of. the new National Po tal Service Advisory Council. The Council will repre ent labor, postal users, and the public in advising the governing board of the National Postal ervice, which was formerly the Post Office Department, operated by the Federal government. "I felt excited and humble because only 11 p rsons were chosen aero s the whole United States and I was one," she said. "I feel that I have received a high honor." The fact that rs.

They have made plans to collect things for the often forgotten elderly citizens and they have volunteered to write letters for them or just go and read or talk to them. They have formulated plans to conduct a Sickle Cell Anemia Drive to inform local citizens of this dreadful disease. On the social side of life, these young ladies have been entertaining at their homes. They have many more plans which are too numerous to list.

Soror Loubertha Little held a Tea at the Diplomat Club for fifteen interested young co-eds who are striving toward Zetadom. These young ladies are co-eds at Sagmaw Valley College and wish to establish an undergraduate city chapter with hopes of later moving the chapter onto the Saginaw Valley College campus, thus becoming the first black organization established on that campus. Associate Regional Director of Michigan, Soror Mamie Clifton, was quite informative about the ideas and goals of our great sorority. Other guests included our undergraduate sorors from Michigan State University and Wayne State University.

Zeta Omega Zeta Chapter, under the magnificent leadership of its most dynamic, vivacious, and industrious Basileus, Annye Roberts, has made great strides in Zetadorn. The year began with its annual Round-Up which was chaired by Soror Audrey Williams, This affair was the kick-off for the chapter's yearly activities. This year's activities were outlined by Soror Roberts. Eight sorors from the chapter were in attendance at the State Meeting which was held at the Michigan State University campus, with the undergraduate sorors serving as hostesses. The host ss chapter was Phi Gamma.

The Amicae Club had a change in leadership this year. Mrs, Bernice Townsend, new president, has been domg an outstandmg job with her fellow Amicae. The e ladies initiated four new members who have proven to be worthwhile assets to the group. The &"roup sponsored a Breakfast for the graduatmg high. school seniors. They gave a Food Basket to. one of our less fortunate families. They adopted this family for the year. The group also sponsored a sixth grade student to a trip to Washington.

A FINE YEAR WITH BETA OMICRON ZETA CHAPTER The sorority year began with a bang, with a visit from Santa Claus at Round-Up time.

An original "Founders' Day Skit" narrated by author, Soror Lubert~a Little, of Saginaw, was performed by Soror Precious Petross of Flint and two undergrad Sigmas. The impressive original "Tribute" to our founders by Soror Ione H. Gibson followed with five undergraduate sorors portraying the founders. All undergrad sorors sang some of their campus songs.

Indeed, it was the "December in September" theme created by the committee that lured the many sorors to Al Green's Celebrity Room in Detroit's Fisher Theatre Building. Sorors responsible for this unique affair were Committee Chairman Johnetta Morrow, Co-Chairman Ollie Smith, Alberta Powell, Emma Senk (Santa Claus), Iris Cammon, Florida Mitchell, Annie Russell and Mattie Pouncey. With the Christmas decor all around, the theme was most effective, beginning with a Christmas prayer by Soror Bernice Griggs. The spirit was high as the new Basileus, Soror Lavinia Hendricks stressed "Togetherness". ' Jovial Santa, in authentic costume, was delayed on her way - attracting curious spectators but arrived in plenty of time with her pack to pr~sent gifts to each soror present. The Round-Up Committee had set the tone for a good year which was evidenced the following week. A large number of chapter sorors attended the fifth (5th) annual State Meeting at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan. Presiding over the conference was Associate Director Soror Marie Clifton who had planned a fine program. There was total involvement. The scene was beautiful - as the undergrads seemingly out-numbered the grads. Regional Undergraduate - at - Large Marva Smith and M.S.U. sorors had truly spread the Zeta welcome mat. The conference was greatly enhanced by the presence of our Regional Director, Soror Effie B. Burford of Indianapolis. Friendly greetings and welcome extended by Miss Peterson of the University were appreciated. It was she who had extended herself i~ o~r behalf, making possible the birth of Zeta on Michigan State Campus in 1969. It ~as here a_t the State Meeting the idea was conceived and initiaal plans formulated for the State Founders' Day observance for 1972.

Other participants were Sorors Naomi Meadows of Detroit, C~arlena Schenck of Saginaw, Cosdena Thomas of Flmt, presenting the Invocation the occasion and solo respectively. Concluding o~ a high note, all sorors proudly raised their voices in our Zeta Hymn. Soror Mabel B. Brown served as Chairman of our 1972 Finer Womanhood Week, one of the finest ever held. Finer Womanhood Week - 1972, from its beginning to finale, was great. The calendar of events began with a beautiful "Afternoon with Zeta Amicae". A well-planned program centered on the sorority's theme involved not only Zeta sorors but guests of other Greek organizations; namely, Alpha Kappa Alpha and Delta Sigma Thea Sororities. The speaker, Miss Frenchy Waller, a Delta is principal of Detroit's Carlyle F. Stewart Ele'mentary School, who was presented by Soror Ione Gibson. Mrs . Grace O'Neil, an AKA, rendered beautiful musical selections. Amicae Vivian Lester, co-chairman, an employee at the C. F. Stewart School was responsible for these participants. The many s~rors m attendance were very proud of the Amicae and their fine contribution to the Finer Womanhood W E:ek. Held in the lovely home of Amicae Marie Keith, all were pleased to congratulate her as "Amicae of the Year". The committee chairman was Amicae Ethel Banks, with co-chairmen Amicae Vivian Lester and Amicae Susie King. Worship Service at Hartford Avenue Baptist Church was a most beautiful experience that truly set the one not only for Finer Womanhood but for sorority years yet to come. Reverend Charles Adams had chosen for the subject of his sermon '.'Let's Get It Together". Soul stirring - nourishmg food for thought enriched our hearts and minds. This added substance to the activity that followed. A ~ost !nspmng workshop on "Sisterly Love" brain-child of Basileus Lavinia Hendricks and the expertise of Coordinator Soror Loma P~inter involving each soror present - provided a memorable

Mrs. Roy of the March of Dimes made very clear the opportunities for involvement in the March of Dimes program and the work it provides.

The idea of concern for each other was basic as each segment of Zeta's family received the spotlight and was recognized for participation. Associate Directors Elece Dempsey (Mo.), Isabel Adams (Colo.), Bernice Duncan (Kans.), Mary J. Duncan (Neb.), Opaline Wadkins (Okla.) were in charge of the impressive initiation of seven lovely young ladies. A beautiful skit on Sisterly Love, written and directed by Soror Livingston, National Chairman of the Executive Board, and an impressive Rededication Service set the stage for Zetas to return to their homes motivated and inspired to become involved in concerns for human beings. Twenty-five centuries ago a Chinese sage said, "The reason why rivers and seas receive the homage of a hundred mountain streams is that they keep below them. Thus they are able to reign over all the mountain stream?. So the sage, wishing to help mankind, putteth himself below them, wishing to be before them, he puttcth himself behind them. Thus, though his place be before them, they do not count it an injury." And so, today we re-emphasize, re-vitalize, and renew our pledge of love and concern for humanity, forgetting self and serving all.

PACIFIC REGION

She was invited to speak to a group of teacher trainees at U. C. Berkeley recently on the subject, "The Urban Child". She has spoken to groups of this type on several occasions in the past. On Sunday, February 20, 1972, Mrs. Howard was honored by being invited to be guest speaker at the morning worship service of St. Paul A.M.E. Church, Berkeley. Services were devoted to the activities of women in church leadership. Her topic was, "Thank God, I'm a Woman". Mrs. Howard is married to Herbert H. Howard, teacher at Highland Elementary School. They have two sons, Herbert, Jr., who was recently discharged after four years in the Coast Guard and is presently residing in Seattle, Washington, and Michael, 20, who was graduated from El Cerrito High School and is attending the North Campus of Merrit College.

Zeta Soror Named Principal of Two Schools

Oakland Public Schools Board of Education announced the selection of Mrs. Ola Howard as principal of two schools - Prescott and Willow Manor. The schools are located within five blocks of each other. There are other principals in Oakland who are administering two schools and have for a number of years. However, Mrs. Howard is the first black woman to achieve this honor. Mrs. Howard is a veteran of 25 years educational experience in California. She began teaching at Prescott School in 1946 at a time when there were few black teachers in Oakland. With the first strong move toward integrating the staff, Mrs. Howard was appointed as a teacher of grades 5 and 6 at Prescott School. She taught there until 1957 when she transferred to Golden Gate School. Her other experiences include that of a Remedial Reading teacher, Director of a Special Program in Remedial Reading, Elementary School Counselor at two elementary schools, Administrative Assistant at Webster School, Vice-Principal at Prescott School and now, Principal. Mrs. Howard received her A.B. Degree from Huston-Tillotson College, Austin, Texas; her M.A. from San Francisco State College. She also received her Elementary Counseling credential and later the Administrative credential from San Francisco State College. She completed work as a Remedial Reading Specialist and was granted this certificate in the summer of 1967 from the Raskob Institute, at the College of Holy Names. Her organizational affiliations include the Oakland Principals Club, the Women's Principals Club, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority and the El Cerrito Chapter of the NAACP. She was also an active member of First A.M.E. Church in Oakland for four years, as Sunday School Teacher, Program Director of Youth Activities, and finally, Assistant Superintendent of the Sunday School. The family united with the Arlington Community Church in Kensington in 196.3 when they moved from Berkeley to El Cerrito. She has been active here also with her husband as a Sunday School teacher and in other church groups and activities. In 1969, the Golden Gate chool P.T.A. presented Mrs. Howard the P.T.A.'s highest award - a life membership pin. She ha, continued her membership in the P.T.A. in each school where she has been assigned.

On Sunday, March 12, 1972, at its annual "Woman of the Year" Awards program, the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority presented Mrs. Howard with a certificate of achievement for leadership, loyalty, and service and achievement as principal. She was among those given special honors for achievement. Mrs. Howard feels a sense of pride in her accomplishments, but adds that as a black woman, there are still many problems facing us. She feels that each individual must feel free to "do his own thing" toward advancing the fight of complete equality for all mankind as well as in furthering the cause of universal human rights. Mrs. Howard's career has given her a tremendous feeling of happiness. She plans to continue her life pattern with the help of her superior, supportive staffs and spiritual guidance. To show her appreciation for this support, she wishes to give special commendation to her entire group of competent and dedicated teachings staffs, parents, and pupils for their support, interest and effort during this 1971-72 school year. Special praise must be given also to the capable Vice-Principal who assists at both schools, the resourceful leadership of both T ARDs (Teacher Ass.stant for Reading Department), and the outstanding performance of the two well-trained Reading Resource teachers. In addition to these, she has a young, qualified and talented elementary counselor. Although both schools are unique, each teacher, at each school has a teacher aide (Instructional Assistant). They do a superior, supportive job working with the teacher. At each school there are also student control clerks and noon supervisor to assist in the supervision of student activities. Both groups deserve special praise for their efforts and performance. To assist in the maintcnanc of a good school is, of course, an fficient maintenanc staff. She has these at both schools. f cours , everyone acknowledges that a good s hool is nhanccd by a good secretarial staff. Mrs. Howard feels that at both schools the ecretaries arc superior in th ir job performance. She has nurtur d a deep and abiding faith and trust in th power of Almighty God lo guide us, to support us and lo sustain u8. This, along with her hard work, keeps her going. 40

DELTA ETA SALUTES THEIR 1972 DEBUTANTES

DRUG REHABILITATION TOPS FINER WOMANHOOD WEEK ACTIVITIES

.Delta Eta Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority held its annual Debutante's Cotillion this )'.ear at Oceanside Holiday Inn, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

Finer Womanhood Week was one of the most rewarding ever celebrated by Delta Eta Zeta Chapter of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

Prior to the formal presentation of Debutantes the audience was entertained by the Sub-Debutantes through their individual talents. Their performance included the best in song, dance, orations and the display of the latest fashions. Rosalind Grooms was crowned Miss Sub-Deb for 1972-73.

Each soror selected at least one under-privileged child to act as "Big Sister" to for the entire week. The Amicaes, Zeta's affiliated friends, volunteered their services to the newly founded Sweeting Nursing Home. The residents of the home participated in a night of "Fun, Frolic, and Games" and the friends volunteered their services daily in letterwriting, reading, conversation, ha_ir styling and grooming, and en tertammg the residen ts.

Thirteen young ladies were presented to a capacity audience of families and friend_s. Under t~e chairmanship of Sorors Kathrell Morrison and Virginia Hansberry, the girls and their fathers received six weeks of charm instruction from several accredited charm instructions. The results of this instruction was exhibited in an array of poise, personality and beauty as the girls made their bow.

Soror Marjorie Davis, a charter member, was honored with a "This Is Your Life In Zeta" love shower and Soror Irma Bell was named ZETA OF THE YEAR. The week - long activities were highlighted with a community program featuring the staff and residents of THE SEED, a drug rehabilitation organization. THE SEED has gained national attention through its successful rehabilitation program and its high percentage of success. Many youth and adult organizations of Broward County were in attendance and expressed a concerted effort to "go forward" in continuing to combit this destructive force.

Another highlight of the affair was the presentation of scholarships by our basileus, Soror Constance Bright, to Debs Delores McKinley, Debra Orr and Millicent Lightbourn. The girls were chosen based on their performance on a standardized test.

COMMUNITY PROJECTS BETA SIGMA ZETA CHAPTER ZETA PHI BETA SORORITY, INC.

After surveying the community (Tampa, Fla.) the survey revealed that the area had an abundance of large families with from seven to ten children with only one parent; also, many elderly, sick and handicapped people with low income and who were in need of clothing and other kinds of assistance, the members of Beta Sigma Zeta Chapter chose three projects for the Boule term, 19701972.

PROJECT #1 The Zeta Clothes Closet

Here, citizens - men, women, and children are able to come in and choose clothing. THE ONLY COST IS NEED. The building was donated by the West Tampa Neighborhood Service Center. The Zeta sorors solicit clothing of all sizes. Shoes and bags are also donated. Zeta sorors are divided into groups which open the Clothes Closet in the late afternoons and on Saturdays. During the day when Zeta sorors are at work, the Neighborhood Service Center furnishes persons to keep the Clothes Closet open. Beta Sigma Zeta Chapter pays for the lights and janitorial service. The members are happy to report that many people take arvantage of this service. The much - needed service was given publicity through other social organizations, churches, fliers, newspapers and radio.

PROJECT #2 Particiation with the March of Dimes Beta Sigma Zeta helps with the program of the March of Dimes. The members donated money and participated in the 20-mile March through the city.

PROJECT #3 Assistance for Two Families During the 1970-1972 Boule term, the members of Beta Sigma Zeta Chapter, Tampa, Florida have given financial assistance, food and recreation to help two needy families. Family No. 1 was composed of nine children and a mother. Family No. 2 was composed of nine children and a father. Unfortunately, each parent had lost his or her spouse through death. Most of the children of these families were of school ag . The Z ta sorors gave clothing for the children so that th y could attend school. At Christmas time they were show r d with clothing, food, entertainrn nt and toys. Sorer Hazel S. Harvey, Basileus Soror Jessie Attest, Projc t Chm.

Relevance to Contemporary Issues: A Focus Toward Total Concern For Human Beings has really been exemplified by the Beta Sigma Zeta sorors. We have been moving toward the salvation of ourselves through dedication to the helping of mankind in our community in the following ways: (1) With the help of the Neighborhood Service Centers Beta Sigma Zeta opened a Clothes Closet in the midst of a disadvantaged area. The clothing in the closet are donated. Sorors rotate each Saturday morning collecting, sorting, and distributing clothing to any person that will come in for assistance. ( 2) The sorors adopted a family which consists of a mother and nine children living in the inner city. She has been given gifts of clothing and furniture by the sorors. An effort has been made to assist the mother with finding a more desirable home for her family. She is being counseled by sorors as to economic planning, family management and selecting a vocation that would prepare her to more adequately support her family and remove her from the welfare rolls. Our philosophy in working with this mother is that if you give a woman a dress she can dress for a day - if you teach her how to be productive she can buy clothes for a life-time. (3) Our Basileus, Soror Hazel Harvey, has served as Human Relations Chairman for the County Council Parent-Teacher Association. She has sponsored several successful displays and workshops in the community involving people from all walks of life. (4) The Beta Sigma Zeta awarded a $100.00 scholarship to Miss Cynthia Brady, a junior at Edwards College and an Archonian. Miss Brady is the step-daughter of Soror Pauline Brady and Brother John Brady. (5) Several sorors serve as tutors after school hours to children deficient in academic skills.

BETA TAU ZETA CHAPTER AW ARDS

Mrs. Dorothy W. Adside is serving this year as coordinator of the Community Fellowship Banquet. An educator, principal of Blue Lakes Elementary School, she also serves on the Board of Directors of Sunrise School for the Mentally Retarded. For the Chapter, she is area coordinator for communication, coordinator of a three-pronged project Hunger, Heart and African. For the outstanding contributions made to the chapter and the community, Mrs. Adside has been named "Zeta of the Year" by her sorority sisters.

Dr. George L. Spelios, D.D.S.-named outstanding community leader - "Citizen of the Year" by Beta Tau Zeta Chapter women of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.

The clinic, now b ing co-sponsored by the Coral Gables Jr. Women's Club, will be completely stocked with the necessary equipment to treat a panorama of dental problems. The Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, through a member of the Sunrise School Board, Mrs. Dorothy Adside, has adopted several of the projects at unrisc and works cooperatively with Dr. pelios in his quest for optimum service for the special children of the community.

THE FASHION WORLD OF ZETA SOROR WILLYS ANN GAINES (Model) Beta Tau Zeta Chapter, Miami, Florida

Soror Willys Ann Gaines, a graduate of Morris Brown College, is a teacher of Physical Education and Modern Dance and a professional model with Prestige Models of Miami, Inc. She worked for the Republican Convention held on Miami Beach, was one of Miami's Black Elegant Women and Miss Liberty News. She is a graduate of Bauder Fashion College of Miami and has modeled not only in Florida, but also in Atlanta, Georgia. Her talent has best been served by directing charm clinics for Miss Cinderella contestants, Beta Tau Zeta's scholarship fund project. At present Willys models for Lady Zulu and Ted Zulu Hip Shop. The Zulus appear bi-monthly on Black Is - WTV J ( Channel 4) . The program deals with black fashions, hosted by T. C. Taylor, news commentator. Willys also appeared on WPBT ( Channel 2) . How does she stay so trim (weighing 108 lbs., 5 ft. 5 in.)? "No dieting is necessary with all the physical exercises required of me as a dance teacher. I can eat MOST anything." Her hobbies are dancing, reading and doing NEW and EXCITING things. And, of course, being attractive. She believes a woman should be attractive, but not spending all her time on it - there is always something exciting and new to do (after the beauty care).

ZETAS ON THE MOVE! Gamma Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority has really been active. We met with Miss Deloris Gibbs, a medical student at the Medical University of South Carolina. Miss Gibbs talked about sickle cell anemia. We are interested in a pilot organization here in Charleston in which we will take an active part in educating our various committees about sickle cell anemia and its effects.

Gamma Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority had its Rededication and Installation Services. These services were held at the home of Soror Dansby. The new officers for 1972-'74 are: Basileus, Soror VCilaadu Soror Claudia Blaney; First Anti-Basileus, Soror Mozell Myers; Second Anti-Basileus, Soror Susie Myers; Grammateus, Soror Virginia Glover; Tamias, Soror Pearl Thomas; Tamias Grammateus, Soror Ethel Rhodes; Antapokritis, Soror Karen Rembert; Chaplain, Soror Thaddeus Boone, and Phylacter, Soror Susie Simmons.

The second move of the Zetas was our Founders' Day Celebration at the Mills Hyatt House. Our guest speaker for the occasion was Mrs. Elizabeth Rose, Associate Director of the sorority, from Orangeburg, South Carolina. Mrs. Rose brought a challenging address, "The Organization, Early Growth and Development of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc." Soror Rose said, ... "As a sister group to Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, we hereby bind ourselves together for the purpose of: 1. Furthering the cause of education by encouraging the highest standards of scholarship among college women. 2. Uplifting worthwhile projects on college campuses and within communities in which we may be located. 3. Furthering the spirit of sisterly love and promoting the ideals of finer womanhood. Mrs. Rose also gave six Targets to carry out: 1. Making sisterly love a reality. 2. W.E.H.S. - The Child. 3. Greater Involvement of Undergraduates in Zeta Programming. 4. Rreclamation. 5. Improving the Zeta Image. 6. Zeta's Internal Structure.

Gamma Zeta Chapter of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority highlighted its Founders' Day celebration with the appearance of Soror E. Rose, Associate Director of the Sorority, from Orangeburg, South Carolina, and a buffet at the Mills Hyatt House. The affair, well attended by all members, included (left to right): N. W. Myers, First Anti-Basile us; P. W. Thomas, Tamias; S. R. Myers, Baslleus, and V. Glover, Grammateus.

We shall stand tall with Soror Isabel Herson to carry out these Targets. Gamma Zeta's Thirteenth Annual Elementary and High School Art Exhibit was held at Buist Elementary School It was a great success with hundreds of entries. The entries included oil painting, arts and crafts, crocheting, etc. You name it, we had it.

iMrs. Hanberry To Be Honored I

By MARTI COLLINS Staff Writer A Blythewood educator with

a firm belief in man's human-

ity to man will officially retire today after 50 years of service lo Richland County School District II. Mrs. Annie E. Hanberry will be honored tonight by trustees, administrative staff and school officials of the district during a ceremony at 8 p. m. in Hanberry School. Mrs. Hanberry, who has dedicated her life to both her

students and the changing times, taught school in Chester for 13 years before joining the staff of District II. "I started out in a twoteacher school with 48 pup11s,'' Mrs. Hanberry said, referring to the one-room school house where she taught In 19;J5,

Teaching seven grade levels in one room was the beginning of individualized leaching, according to Mrs. Hanberry, who recalled the incident with humor.

"If there was only one child in the sixth grade, then, his instruction of necessity was individualized to a considerable degree," she said. F o r e v e r concerned with each student as an individual, Mrs. Hanberry looks upon the current individualized programs as a method to produce "a new level of humanistic emphasis."

"No longer will the average student be the major focus for the teacher. No longer will the bright stude•I need to

endure endless repetition of materials ••• no longer will the slow learner know years and years of fruslrations from a learning system that goes too fast for him." A native of Columbia, Mrs. Hanberry received her A.B. degree from Benedict College. She later received her master's degree Jrpm Columbia University in New York. Mrs. Hanberry is a staunch believer in new techniques in teaching. "I'm sold on some new techniques be-

cause we are meeting the needs of those who were once ignored," she said. "The new programs call for more in-service programs for the teacher of today," she said. The physical plant involved In education plays a major part in the effectiveness of the learning program, according to Mrs. Hanberry. Her first school room, (See EDUCATOR, 5-B, Col. 4)

The Anti-Basileus of the Chapter, Soror Allyne Lewis, has been elected ZETA OF THE YEAR. OUR GRAND BASILEUS, Soror Herson, spoke at Mt. Zion United Methodist Church (New Orleans, La.) recently and used Zeta's National theme as her subject. In part, she said, "We find ourselves faced with confusion and frustration. Society today must be an mformed one, with feelings for others and their problems. There must be a deep feeling of togetherness and a deep concern for the wellbeing of others."

New Orleans' Alpha Gamma Zeta Chapter will fete an outstanding educator and author of the highly acclaimed AFRO-AMERICAN SERIES entitled "The Afro-American ABC Book". Soror Zenobia Malarcher Johnson, presently serving as Principal of the Joseph A. Hardin Elementary School, New Orleans, will be honored at a BOOK RECEPTION. The Chairman of this event, a segment of Zeta's WEHS program, is Soror Helen M. Badie.

Referring to emphasis that Zeta gives child care and youth development, she said, "We must recognize that there is a child in need somewhere and a society that ignores its children and its youth does not think well of its future." She listed a number of issues that present-day society must face and actually seek solutions for: WOMAN POWER, EDUCATIONAL DILEMMA, YOUTH REVOLT, POLLUTION, HUNGAR and POVERTY, stressing that "The movement of sororities and fraternities must be away from frills and fun to a concept of SERVICE."
