Chapter carries on dream :hrough quality education OMEGA PSI PHI To assist students at a. local black college who lere experiencing serious financial problems in Lrchasing their textbooks, members of Omega si Phi sponsored their second annual Greek liow on April 8 in Gregory Gym. Approximately 1,500 people, including UT ludents and other university students from |:ross Texas, attended the event. Fraternities lid sororities from the University and various Irher schools stepped across the stage in lopes of keeping their dream of black achieve- jient alive at Huston-Tillotson College. Years ago, Martin Luther King had a dream ' - the dream that someday the black struggle I ' ould be over. We feel that the only way to liake this dream possible is through a quality plication. If the students attending Huston- Tillotson can ' t get their books, that ' s just one more barrier in their plight for that quality education, Michael Anderson, physical edu- cation-psychology senior, said. The Omegas donated over $1,500 from the Greek Show proceeds to a book scholarship fund. Members of Omega Psi Phi purchased the textbooks from local bookstores and Huston- Tillotson students were allowed to check them out, free of charge, and return them at the end of the semester. A lot has been done to help black students succeed in college, but so much more needs to be done. By sponsoring this book scholarship fund, the Omegas are giving back to the black community. Had it not been for the struggle of past black college students, blacks would not ! have been in the University today, President Clarence Hill, print journalism senior, said. The scholarship fund was one of many proj- ects Omega Psi Phi participated in yearly for the benefit of the Austin community. We have done such things as adopted a needy family for Thanksgiving, sponsored a Halloween party for underprivileged and hand- icapped kids, donated our services to Big Broth- ers Little Brothers of Austin and donated to the United Negro College Fund. We also sponsor an on-campus scholarship to a qualified UT un- dergraduate, Hill said. by ReShonda Tate MOMENT OF SUSPENSE: Omega support- ers nervously await the announcement of the April 9 Greek Show winner.
