Snooper’s Teen Talk Broad Sipple’s Carmen Straton had best cool out for the rest of this semester because sources say that if she continues to cut classes like she did last semester she may have to take some of her calsses over again next year. Each high school seems to have a "dude with the prettiest legs”. Marshall’s ladies seem to agree that Jeffrey Patterson possesses the most shapely legs at their school. But one thing puzzles me, how do they know how Jeffs legs look if he does not play basketball or walk around the school in short pants? Can any of you ladies answer this question? Last year Anthony Allen was one of the most popular dudes here in Indy, but sources say that all of that popularity changed him and now he is not as popular as he was before. Arlington’s Brenda Havey has found time for both school and boys. Brenda gets many A s in school, and from what some of the dudes tell me if she w as graded on looks and personality she would get A-F’s. Keep up the good work Brenda. A w ashington partner in crime hipped me recently to some love changes. Tommy Bonds tried to talk to Jan Carson, and when she put him down cold, he started hitting on Michelle Hicks. Well, just when they got together and Michele though everything was okay, Jan stepped through and ripped her off. And Letita Badgett’s pretty popular around Washington. Her ex boyfriend Bill Evans, w ith whom she still shares a locker, seems like he’s trying to get back on her good side. Ross Miller's eyes appear to be on her too. But my partner in crime and I wonder what Letita s main squeeze, Sam Elliot, will think after he reads this? Derw in Shields, a Tech partner in crime tells me, is another one of those popular properties. Everybody seems to like or dislike him because of his taste in women. There's one half of the student body who thinks he’s gone nuts after dropping a brick house girlfriend like Brebeuf freshman Kendra Kirk for a not-so-stacked Titan cheerleader named Stacey Jackson. The remaining students find Derw in hip because at least both ladies have nice personalities. I was just getting ready to go back to snoopin’ for another week when my phone started ringing off the hook. It was another partner in crime, telling me that while Sam Elliott, who we mentioned earlier, has his ride in the shop, main squeeze Letita Badgett has been pulling up to his cribe in her red Chevette quite frequently. We both hope she's not at his place when he reads about those other dudes. Those wishing to he a Snooper Partner in Crime should mail all bits of high school gossip and party notes to Snooper’s Teen Talk, Indianapolis Recorder Performing World Department, 2901 North Tacoma. Indianapolis. 46218. Remember, keep your grades, attitude, and love life in constant check because, even if vou hide THE SNOOPER WILL BE WATCHIN’

CHICAGO-

Some 200 leaders of Alpha E^hi Alpah Fraternity, the nation’s oldest predominately black Greek-letter organization, gathered at Chicago’s Palmer House Hotel, last month, to hold a national leadership conference. Spotlighting the development of individual leadership skills and organizational strate gies, the conference included workshipshops and seminars on both intra-fraternity issues and service projects, such as Alpha’s $1 million fund drive to benefit the NAACP, UNCF and National Urban League. The conference was also the occasion for the installation of James R. Williams, United States Attorney for Northern Ohio, to a second two-year term els general president of Alpha Phi Alpha. Louis E. Martin, special assistant to President Carter, keynoted the conference’s installation luncheon and ad ministered the oath of office to Williams. In his address, Mar tin decried the pessimism and apathy which seem to be growing in black America at a time when, he remarked, whites in this country are growing conservative and in different to minority concerns. Quipping about the existence of a group called SPONGE (The Socity for the Prevention Of Negroes Getting Everything), Martin termed black apathy unjustified and self-defeating. He urged blacks to increase their support of black institutions and praised Alpha Phi Alpha for its effort in this regard, including its service projects and the Leadership

Conference.

Johnson went on to be«>me managing editor of the Masthead and since that time has devoted his skills to presenting a true picture of black society to the world. Alpha general president James R. Williams termed the

entire leadership conference “extremely successful." Referring to the challenge issued by Presidential sude Louis Martin, he reaffirmed the fraternity’s commitment to serve as a catalys for the development of strong leadership within the black community and as a bulwark of support of those institutions vitaJ to the survival and progress of black Americans.

abroad in 1971, issued a challenge to scouting endeavors in a keynote speech to the

BSA’s National Council meet-

ing in New York in 1968--when scouting was updating its thrust of affirmative action and its outreach to serve more urban, rural, and low-income

youth.

The quotations which appeared on the plaques of the individuals and organization recipients read: ‘The unfinished task of making real the dream of justice and equality for all, calls us...that task beckons with the finger of urgency to involvement,” taken from Young’s inspiring speech in 1968 to the nationEil council.
