Gamma Kappa Chapter of Kap
pa Alpha Psi Fraternity is solid
as a rock—but fertile. This state
ment may seem a bit contradic
tory, for we all recognize a rock
as being infertile and symbolic of
barrenness. However, rock stands,
too, for something else. It sym
bolizes stability, strength, solidity,
support. It is upon these latter
concepts that we of Gamma Kappa
contemplate. We do not have to be
told; we know that we constitute
a strong supporting cog in the ma
chinery of our fraternity and prac
tice the precepts of Kappa Alpha
Psi, especially that exalted one—
ACHIEVEMENT.
This is exemplified in the pro
gram which we have anticipated
for this fiscal year. First on our
agenda was our annual smoker,
presented October 19, 1950. Our
agenda is crowded and our projects
will not only be confined to the cam
pus but will also reach the com
munities in this immediate area.
Polemarch Breeding Presides
October 4th marked the opening
of a very successful assembly. The
official gavel was sounded by Pole-
march William Breeding.

ing address that a sound program,
unity of purpose, and determina
tion would determine the extent to
which the chapter would succeed.

ness. Officers for this year are:
Polemarch, William Breeding; Vice
Polemarch and Dean of Pledges,

NAACP
Organized
We are all undopbtedly aware of
the accomplishments of the NAACP.
It has done much to improve con-
conditions for Negroes in many cor
ners of the world. They are forever
waging a relentless battle against
the forces which hinder the pro
gress of the Negro race.
It would be an honor to belong
to an organization that is so tire
lessly and unselfishly trying to
create a situation in which all men
are free and: equal. This type of
organization would add pride to the
character of anyone affiliated with
it.
Fortunately some broad-minded
and wide-awake individual saw the
need of chapter of the NAACP on
the Clark campus. This chapter has
been reorganized every year since
its ’origin. It has been reorganized
this year and the officers were
elected to carry on the work of the
year.
Those elected were: President,
Reuben Dawkins; Secretary, Walter
Mae Robinson; Treasurer, Paul L.
Blakeney; Chairman of Membership
Committee, James Ash; Reporter,
Moses Barrett.
Those desiring to become mem
bers of the NAACP may do so when
the soliciting campaign is put into
effect in the near future.
English Majors
Organize
A symposium, composed of Eng
lish majors and minors has been
recently organized on our campus.
This symposium proposes to dis
cuss current literary selections and
to keep English students abreast
with foremost occurences in the lit
erary field.

enna Thome; Vice President, John

Treasurer, Flossie Goodson; Chair
man of Program Committee, Frances

with the new group, and the vet

that the band will be even greater
than it was last year.
Aia-Missi Club
News
WILLIAM J. BREEDING, Reporter
October 3, 1950 will be a date
to be long remembered by the stu
dents from Alabama and Missis
sippi. This is the date on which the
Ala-Missi Club was established.
Thus came to an end the long hold
out against the establishment of a
club with students from the two
states. The members of the newly
formed club have already dedicated
themselves to the task of honorable
achievement.
In its activities the Ala-Missi
Club will attempt to drift away
from the ordinary. The club and
its members anticipate a series of
unprecedented programs. These pro
grams will be presented at con-
vient intervals. It is encouraging
to know that the students have
long awaited such an interesting
series of programs. With this
thought in mind the Ala-Missi Club
plans to work most diligently to
offer the type of program that will
arouse, and at the same time satisfy
the curiosity of the students.
The Ala-Missi Club begins with
twenty-nine active members. Al
ready many other students have
expressed their desire to join. To
these students we extend the wel
come mat. We realize that there is
much to be done and the saying
“many hands make light work”
can readily be applied.
After the former installation of
the club the following officers were
elected: Alfonso Goggins, President;
Earlene Danner, Vice President;
Lee A Curry, Secretary; Bobbie
Thames, Assistant Secretary; Elsie
Buford, Treasurer.
