Weston Milligan We are no longer elitists in society, we are brothers and sisters unified in greekdom and should be working together, a NAACP representative told a group of sor orities and fraternities at an assem bly recently held here. Carolyn Coleman, district arti san for the NAACP, was speaking at the Pan-Hellenic assembly entitled United in Greekdom honoring the new chapter of NAACP, the largest oldest and most active organization in Amer ica, at Morris Brown. The NAACP has helped thou sands already giving the words opportunity and equality a mean ing to the world. They have showed the world that they will fight oppression in a country that they were forced to come to. Nqw, that the NAACP has made its presence known in history ‘we assume that once we gain that bachelors we will be well off because of the doors that have opened already, said Coleman. However, we must not forget the six million blacks unemployed with a rate of 70 percent in some communities. The 30 percent ol black living in this country below the poverty level without food, heat, electricity and water, must not be forgotten.

MAIL ENTRIES TO: Agnes Scott Writers’ Festival Department of English Box 915, Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030 Ms. Coleman said, employment is not President Carter’s top prior ity, therefore, essentially black people are not one of the country’s top priority. Although the NAACP has a members of406,000 in America the injustice, racism and suffering still exists. The NAACP and SCLC made up of the students, ministers, citizens, civil rights activists and militants, changed quite a bit in the 50’s and 60’s. If we are not careful we will lose everything we have gained, but, in sense that isn’t much. Black greeks like Martin Luther King, Benjamin Hooks, Roy Wil kins and Shirley Chisholm have shown that their is potential in fraternities and sororities. The students of the 60’s, have made their contribution and the starting of an NAACP chapter here should assure contributions from those of the 70’s. Yes I Care Inmate Killed by Guard, Guard Killed by Inmate, Prison Condi tions Deplorable—these and other headlines have graced the local and national papers all too much in the past. Nevertheless, strange as it may seem the families of prisoners very seldom find out about facts sur rounding such incidents. The Omega Psi Phi fraternity of Morris Brown College are forming a coalition for persons interested in writing letters of encouragement or exchanging of cultural harmonies or differences. This coalition will let the brothers and sisters know that we are not a lost group of peo ple here in America and that yes, we do care. Usually when an inmate has no immediate family or is sus pected of not having anyone on the outside who cares, he or she is given no feeling of self-respect from his peers (guards). He is sub jected to the worst kind of punish ment for minor infractions such as smoking when the lights are out or severely beaten when he tries to protect himself from the antago nistic assaults by guards. We urge you, the student body of Morris Brown College and the Atlanta University system, to come forward and let the brothers and sisters incarcerated know that you care. Also we who are straight for ward in mind and being potential leading citizens are aware of our brothers and sisters plight and care what happens to them. It is a proven fact that the states rehabilitation program is not working. There is something miss ing and that is you. Please address all inquiries to S. Weston Miligan, Yes I Care, Box 207 Morris Brown College, Atlanta, GA. 30314 Pledging a Fraternity by A Pledgee Pledging a fraternity to most people might seem a little crazy but believe me, it’s not. There. - is nothing crazy about a little self- discipline, respect for your big brothers and other fraternities, and having faith in what you are doing. The most important thing to me in the pledge period is gaining pride in the fraternity, for without it what use would pleding serve. A fraternity has many benefits, such as outings, associating with other greeks, life long brotherhood and many more, which to mention would probably take up all of this article. There are thrills, adventures, enjoytnent and memories which are unforgettable in pledging. There is a lot more to be said about pledging but the best way to find out is to pledge yourself.
