Hurdling head on into the foil social scene with a host of new ideas are members of the Defiants and Esquire clubs. The groups have combined energies to bring forth the second annual “Harvest Moon Ball” scheduled for Saturday, October 12, at the spacious Riverside Ballroom, 1700 W. 30th. It has been quite awhile since two organizations have combined to sponsor one social affair-making this ball something different. One of the newest and most outstanding ideas to come forth will be the picking of “Miss Harvest Moon of 1968.” Unlike the old fashion popularity con-

test in which the contestants had to get out and sell tickets, “Miss Harvest Moon” will be chosen from among 15 finalists picked from the audience selected on the basis of originality and design of dress. A panel of six persons also selected from the audience will judge. The winner will receive the four and one-half foot Miss Harvest Moon trophy plus $.25 and the coveted queen’s crown. Club reporter Edward (Fox) Rogers said that the new method will give every lady attending an equal chance for the coveted spot requiring only that she be there in the latest fall creation.

AN ENJOYABLE trip to Jamaica, British West Indies, was greatly enjoyed by a group of women including the two in the picture. They are Miss Irma Swift of 3029 N. Arsenal (right) and Mrs. Mary L Kinchlow, 2447 Bond (left). The ladies reported an enjoyable time.

Point of interest at the party was a beautiful cake engraved with the honoree's name along with her birthday and the present date. An estimated 92 fellow workers attended the party. They consummed punch, nuts, and the cake. Mrs. Pettigrew related that she met a lot of nurses, doctors, and dieticians and enjoyed working with them. Gifts she received included two pocketbooks, two pairs of gloves, a watch, slips,stockings, a hat, $65.75 contained on a money tree, and other gifts.

Senator Jordan called for a bending spirit that one must be willing to bend, yield,adjust and use untried directions and not be tied down to tradition. “No one can afford to be a spectator for man is relevant,'* she submitted. She stated that black women could provide resources to pipe in change to the man in the basement. In 1952 Zeta Phi Beta honored Senator Jordan as “girl of the year.” The six-foot law student graduated magna cum laude from Boston University in 1951 and was admitted to the bar of Massachusetts and Texas during the same year. Senator Jordan is not only the first Negro to serve in the Texas Senate but also is the first woman to preside as well. Attending the confab from Indianapolis as delegates were Nellie Rogers, ex-grand basileus; Effie L. Burford, associate director; Eva Rice,basileus of Iota Zeta Chapter, and Lois Mendenhall. Speaking to an estimated 55 youths from throughout the country Libby Koontz noted that one does not have to have a label to be proud of himself. The speaker noted that it is a right to have an opinion,while asking for a realistic feeling about color eliminating all unfairness. “You can be proud of what you are and not make excuses to anybody,"she stated. Mrs. Koontz demanded that adults stand up and be counted and not demand that everybody be alike. She challenged the pupils not to miss a single day in school; “Black power is green power, brain power, and man power,” she asserted. The Zetas voted on the following resolution: “We , the members of the Zeta PhiBeta Sorority, mindful of the perif lous times in which we now live, do offer a resolution commending to all posterity the memory of the great contribution evidenced through the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., in his efforts to combat the evils of the present society through high schlorship, dedication to service, and love for all mankind. “We thereby establish a Martin Luther King Scholarship Fund of $1,000 to be granted to a deserving young college student to assist this student in the efforts to continue the fight for freedom and equality for al 1 people throughout the world.” ' Queen to reign at ala ball
