this time to present the Sphinx

The Brothers of Beta Psi
Chapter Omega Psi Phi Fra
ternity Inc., have returned to
Clark’s campus with that Ole
Omega spirit.
We began the fall semester
with the initiation of 15 stout
hearted Lamps, who are at
present striving to make Ome
ga. The Lamps, following in
the footsteps of their Big Bro
thers are very active in every
phase of campus life and com
munity action.
The Men of Omega are at
the present, preparing for their
biggest benefit dance of the
year, scheduled for Saturday
night November 11, 1968 at
7:30 p.m. in Clark’s dining
hall. The proceeds from the
dance will be contributed to the
Clark College UNCF Drive.
The schedule of events for
the Brothers of the Omega Psi
Phi Fraternity include, among
other thing's, our Aiflua.1
Achievement Week Program
which is scheduled for Novem
ber 17, 1968 at 6:00 p.m.
The theme of the program is
“Racial Togetherness - Not
Separatism - The Goal of
American Democracy.” The
featured speaker for this occa
sion is Brother Eldridge Mc
Millan.
The Brothers of Beta Psi
Chapter, Omega Psi Phi Fra
ternity guided by their four
glowing Stars of Manhood,
Scholarship, perseverance and
uplift plan to make the forth
coming year their best yet at
Clark.
I feel that a unification
of A.U. center would be to
our advantage in that bigger
projects would then be possi
ble. And larger grants could
be given to one university.
Returns To
Clark
On October 12, 1968, the Au
rora Club of Phi Chapter of
Sigma Gamma Rho made a re
turn performance in the pre
sence of an assortment of Big
Sisters, including the South
eastern Regional Syntaktes, the
national chairman of the Board
of Directors, and the Grand
Basileus herself. The Auroras
reactivated the Clark College
Chapter which had been inactive
for almost three years.
The Auroras, Little Sisters
Lillian Andrews, Marcia Blan
ton, Ann Phillips, and Carrie
Render, accepted the challenge
of the standards which have
been a guiding light to their
Big Sisters since the forma
tion of the Greek Organiza
tion. Big Sister Gwendolyn Mo
sley of Morris Brown College
voiced the joy of the Big Sis
ters at Brown saying, “We
have no brothers anyway, and
we had no sisters, but now
we do have some little sisters,
even if you are across the
campus.”
The Little Sisters have many
plans for the coming times,
the first to start the chapter
burning like a raging fire. They
are also quick to say: “Rea
dy or Not, AU Center, there
we come! Bet your last nickel
that we are, so look for us.”

Allen, Thetus Allman, Jules
Ashley, Bettye Burke, Beverly
