USCs Negro Fraternity
Special Report
By TOM CAPRA Daily Trojan Managing Editor
“Sure, integration is important, but I wouldn’t advise Negroes to join a white fraternity.” Those are the words of the president of the only Negro fraternity at USC.
Earl Anthony, tall and self-reliant, was speaking in his quiet way of the problems of a Negro | fraternity—Kappa Alpha Psi—at a private uni-
i versity.
“I’m too busy trying to get Negroes to join our house,” he explained. “Right now we aren’t j interested in integrating the white fratemi-I ties."
Because it is a fraternity for Negroes, Anthony’s house has unique advantages as well as unique problems.
“We find that we don’t have to do much rushing at USC,” Anthony pointed out. “The Negro who is accepted here naturally gravitates | to us.
“But this is our only selling point—that the new man would feel more at home in an all-Negro house than in a dorm or apartment where he is surrounded by whites.”
This one selling point, however, can also be I a major disadvantage.
Some Negroes come to USC and do not join Kappa Alpha Psi simply because they do not want to be “pigeonholed.”
Another problem is that the USC chapter went inactive three years ago, to be revived last year under Anthony’s leadership.
“This period of inactivity hurts us,” he reported. “When we tried to go active again, we found that only 12 men were interested.”
However, there is a new spirit in the reactivated chapter.
“We believe that we are justly proud of Kappa Alpha Psi,” Anthony explained. “More than 25,000 Negroes have graduated from our fraternity. Among them, we can count some of the most prominent men in the United States.” Anthony pointed out that the fraternity is still in “a formulative stage” at USC, but predicted a continued growth, with membership

OPEN DOOR — The door of the new Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity house stands ajar, welcoming new members to the Negro fraternity. The fraternity, in the
midst of a membership program, finished the house just at the end of last summer. USC's Inter-Fraternity Council held its first meeting at the new house.
twice its size by the end of the year.
The new chapter house at 1846 S. Crenshaw Blvd., is one of the reasons the men no longer feel “pigeonholed.”
Completed at the beginning of the summer, the house sports a magnificent dining room and patio area along with a lounge equipped with TV and stereo and a fireplace. The whole room is floored with a tan wall-to-wall carpet.
The house is used as
a headquarters for the two Los Angeles chapters of the fraternity. One chapter includes USC, Pepperdine and Loyola, while the other takes its members from UCLA and Los Angeles State College.
“The building-up process hasn’t been easy, but we had lots of help from (IFC adviser) Frank Joyce,” Anthony said. “He pushed us through all the paper work and helped us all along the way.”
In return, Kappa Al-

pha Psi has become one of the most active houses in the IFC. Anthony works as the secretary for the group, and his house hosted the 28 other fraternity presidents who belong to USC’s IFC for its first meeting two weeks ago.
Yet the Negro leader remains hard-headed in his plans to establish the reactivated chapter on a firm foundation. Not looking for handicapes or excuses, he and his brothers realize the (Continued on Page 2)

The cost of the cards is $1. Moore called on sophomore students to support this drive so the class’ programs could be carried out.
The highlight of the week will be a sophomore quad dance to be held Wednesday in the women’s dormitory quad from 7 to 10 p.m.
The Imposters Band and the ASSC yell leaders will perform, and a rally will be held during
intermission.
Tickets, priced at 25 cents, will be available at the door.
Moore described the week as “an effort to encourage greater class participation, instill class spirit and finance the programs for the balance of the year.”
Plans are now being formulated to officially present a member of the administration with an honorary membership card sometime during this week, Moore said.

campus a few years ago.
Freshman Nancy Chandler held that in a democratic society anyone, provided he is not openly advocating the overthrow of the government, is entitled to speak on campus or any other place.

Withers, a sophomore in the Dental School, said Communists already have enough opportunity for propaganda.
“They don’t even belong in our country,” he said.
“Liberals in the United States,” according to Brown, “are being too idealistio when they think 'loyal Americans’ will not be swayed by experienced Communist propagandists.”
Brown, a sophomore pre-dental major, insisted that such speakers were an immediate threat to the U. S. govern ment.
Med School Breaks Soil For Center
Ground breaking for the School of Medicine-administered Suicide Prevention Center took place Friday.
The new center, directed by Dr. Norman L. Farberow and Dr. Edwin S. Shneidman, is located at 2517 W. Pico Blvd. Dr. Robert E. Litman is the chief psychiatrist.
Speakers at the ceremony included Dr. Harold M. Hildreth of the National Institute of Mental Health; Councilman Edward E. Roybal; Dr. Theodore J. Curphey, chief medical examiner-eoroner for Los Angeles County; and Dr. Clayton G. Loosli, dean of the School of Medicine.
Others were Lowell C. Like, director of the Veterans Administration Center; Dr. David C. Gaede, chief of the Bureau of Private Institutions, department of Mental Hygiene; and Dr. Neil D. Warren, dean of the LAS College.
The Rev. L. Clark Aydelott, chaplain of the Los Angeles County General Hospital, gave the benediction.
The center, set up under a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health, has a staff of psychiatrists, psychologists and psychiatric social workers.

Classes Join In Planning Get-Together
Preparations for an all-class party sponsored by the Senior, ¡Junior and Sophomore Classes are now being made, Junior Class President Dick Popko announced Friday.
Popko said the party will be held from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Saturday after the USC-Cali-fomia football game. The party will be held in the recreation area at Hoover and 35th Sts. He said all students are invited.
Create Enthusiasm
Following the game, the Trojan Marching Band will parade from the Coliseum to the party site. USC yell leaders will stage a pep rally, followed by rock and roll dancing to the music of the Fireballs. Hot dogs and soft drinks will be served.
Skip Harquist, senior class president: Popko; and Rich Moore, sophomore class president, are in charge of the event.
“With such class activities as this, we hope to create enthusiasm, not only throughout the university as a whole, but also among the individual classes,” Popko explained. “We want students to realize that they are part of a class, as well as part of a university.
“When students go to this party ,we want them to have a feeling that their class has had a part in preparing for it,’’ he said.
300 High Schools
Two outside groups will also be invited to attend the party, he said. Students from the University 'of California at Berkeley attending the game will be included in the Trojan activity.
Student body presidents from 300 Southern California high schools have been invited, he said. They will be on campus before the game for the High School Presidents* Day, sponsored by the special events office. The high school presidents will also have an opportunity to attend the USC-Cali-fomia game and participate in Trojan football game activities.
"We want especially to stress that this party is being sponsored by the individual classes, not by the university as a whole,” Popko said.
The freshman Class officers have not been elected and were not able to help in the preparations, Popko explained.
Meiers started the elections controversy by filing two protests demanding that Mills and biological sciences candidate Russell Hicks be eliminated from the elections because they allegedly used the Trojan for Representative Government (TRG) Party's name in their campaigns.
The protest against Mills also claimed that Mills used

The reading from Salinger, author of “Catcher in the Rye, is part of the English department’s weekly noon reading program. Dr. Casson will give a short biographical sketch on Salinger and discuss the author’s purpose in writing the selection.
The noon reading program will be continued next week by Dr. Eleazer Lecky, professor of English. He will read “The Sculptor's Funeral” by Willa Cather.
Inquiry to Be Held On Bribery Charge
The Board of Inquiry will meet today at 2:15 in the dean of students office to consider a series of elections protests, Election Commissioner Dick Messer said Friday.
The board will consider three complaints from University Students Party (USP) President Steve Meiers and a counter-protest from Mick Mills, a write-in candidate who was eliminated from the Freshman Class

distribute campaign flyers. Messer had told candidates at an earlier meeting that candidates could not use the mail boxes.
Bribery Charge
Mills filed a counter-protest in which he said he had not sought TRG backing or used the party’s name in his campaigns. He said he had been libeled by the USP protest.
Meiers, however, filed
stronger protest Thursday. In the protest he alleged he had proof that Mills had tried to bribe a candidate to drop from the president’s race.
“He offered to pay a candidate's expenses if the candidate would drop out of the race and support him.” the protest read. “He made this offer to Tim Vinson.”
Meiers claimed he had a signed statement from Vinson testifying to the offer.
Mills could not be contacted Friday by the Daily Trojan for a reply to the charges. Friends at Trojan Hall, where he resides, said they believed he had gone home for the weekend.
Election» Hurt Messer was unhappy with the protests. He said the participants were bringing the elections down to a high school level.
Messer said he hoped the Board of Inquiry would be able to solve the question to everyone’s satisfaction, but he indicated that some fines might result from the arguments.
