  • THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1977/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/PAGE 15 THE GREEK BEAT ALPHA PHI ALPHA NUZETA CHAPTER Alpha Phi Alpha was established in 1906 at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York by a group of students distributed throughout the various colleges of the University, who desired more intimate contacts with one another than their classroom study permitted. From this mother chapter there now exists over 450 active chapters in Africa, Europe and the Caribbean. At present there are over 45,000 active members within the Brotherhood of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. Here are just a few of many great Alpha men: the late Martin Luther King, Jr., winner of the coveted Nobel Peace Prize; the Honorable Thurgood Marshall, Supreme Court Justice and 33rd Solicitor General; the Honorable Andrew Young, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations; the Honorable Maynard Jackson, the Mayor of the city of Atlanta^ Georgia; the Honorable Stephen J. Wright, Vice- President of CEEB. Fraternity is commonly defined by Webster as the state of being brothers, a brotherly relationship within, as student organization formed chiefly to promote friendship and welfare among the members. We Brothers in Alpha felt this definition inadequate. It does not convey to a non-member of the enthusiasm, spirit, and oneness that is felt within our ties. Fraternity, to Alpha men, means not only brotherhood, friendship and welfare, but also serves to satisfy two fundamental attractions for youth of all ages: One, comradeship which youth craves and finds for itself, and two, the spirit of high idealism which youth has been ever willing to follow. Our fraternity can be looked upon as being one big family. Each member works for the good and welfare of his fellow brothers: each member works within himself upholding the precepts, ideals, and aims of the fraternity. The aim of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity is to stimulate the ambition of its members; to prepare them for the greatest usefulness in the causes of humanity, freedom and dignity of the individual, to encourage the highest and noblest form of manhood and to aid down trodden humanity in its efforts to achieve higher social, economic, and intellectual status. PI LAMBDA PHI A new social fraternity called Pi Lambda Phi is beginning on the WCU campus. The Rex (President) of the fraternity is Bob Keller who transferred troin last Carolina to lead the Pi Lam's here at Western. The history ol l'i 1 .ambda Phi goes back to 1895 when it was founded at Yale University only to find itself flourish and then collapse in a few years. New life was given to Pi Lambda Phi in 1908 when an Alpha chapter was established at Columbia University. It is from this chapter that the present day Pi Lambda Phi fraternity developed into what will be known as "a truly great fraternity." l'i lambda Phi was first established as a protest to the discriminatory actions by fraternities for religious and racial reasons. Due to these discriminatory acts *ithin the colleges, sectarian fraternities by members of the minority groups were formed. Many people saw this as widening a social breach between the students and considered it very bad for the univeristy as a whole. The Omega Delta chapter, formed at WCU, is going to keep the same spirit that its founders had when it was formed in 18"5, according to Keller "Pi Lambda Phi is a fraternity for those who truly want to be individuals. We work together, we party together, but we're going to remain as individuals first and foremost," said Keller.

Visually, photography is rooted in reality, and both photographers give the viewer a finely-tuned perspective of life. Historically, Hine's work presents the cities of his time, while O'Brien's is contemporary. Nevertheless, both men capture in their work much that the ordinary citizen refuses to see. Hine began his photographic career by taking pictures of the school where he worked; for him, photography was a medium to embrace the specific areas of society which he felt needed change. From child labor to the emigrants on Ellis Island, Hine turned ACOMICSTRIP his lens toward the common people and transformed them into a graphic social statement—objectively and subjectively. O'Brien, on the other hand, concerns himself with current social issues from the inner-city. As a photo-journalist for a Miami newspaper, his pictures vividly demonstrate the personal insight with which he sees and feels the world. His revealing photo-essay of John Madden elicits a wide range of reactions from viewers. O'Brien shows both the emotion and the ugliness of what is considered by some to be one of the most affluent cities in this country. The "Crusaders with a Camera" exhibit, sponsored by the Lectures, Concerts, and Exhibitions Committee is scheduled to be shown until November 17. It offers the interested gallery visitor a marked contrast to one's ordinary view of his surroundings. by Charlie Lowing DOC CHANT.
