KNIGHTStaff WriterThrough the principles of manhood,scholarship, preserverence and uplift, theOmega Psi Phi Fraternity strives to upholdan image of distinction.Omega Psi Phi Fraternity was foundedat ECU on May 15, 1973. The nationalfraternity was founded at Howard Univer-sity on November 17, 1911.The fraternity originated as a servicefraternity, but since has stretched an arminto the social realm as well.In spite of its several annual serviceprograms such as Talent Search, Achieve-ment Week, and scholarship programs, theorganization also lends itself to socialactivities such as parties, picnics anddances. Such activities add flavor to thefraternityT s overall outlook.A desire to cover all facets of collegelife is predominate with the fraternitymembers. Consequently, the fraternityoperates not only as a brotherhood for itsown sake but as a subsidiary of an evenlarger brotherhood.Here at ECU, o~the QuesT (members ofOmega Psi Phi Fraternity), strive to ~~ sensethe needs of the students and react tothem,TT according to a member of thefraternity.One has to go through several steps tobecome a Que.First, the interested persons form aninterest club (QIC).

Page 4Ebony HeraldSPORTSPirates survive Indians scareBy BILLY DAVISSports EditorThe William and Mary Indians seemedwell prepared for the arrival of the EastCarolina Pirates to town, as the Indiansprovided the Pirates with the mostformidable contest of the season, with thePirates emerging as the 20-19 victors,thanks to the leg of Pete Conaty. ThePirates extended their winning streak toten games, but had to arise at keypointsduring the game to stop the IndiansTattack. Ernest Madison made the big playof the day by picking off a William andMary quarterback Tom Rozandz pass withless than a minute to go, to preserve thevictory for the Pirates. It seemed rightfullyfitting for an ECU secondaryman to gainsome glory, for Rozantz and his Indianshad a very successful day passing the ball.But in-all fairness to the ECU secondary,they were involved in some very contro-versial calls, and William and Mary hadluck riding on its side, as several timesduring the game Pirate defenders swatted:the ball with the Indian receiver being ableto come up with the ball.The Pirates drew first blood asRaymond Jones plundged over from theone yard line, capping off a 41 yard driveon the PiratesT first possession. Williamand Mary tied it right back at seven all, asRozandz hit right end Ken Cloud on a 13yard scoring play. The Pirates struck rightback as big Zack Valentine, the lankysophomore defensive end continued hisoutstanding play by breaking through onfourth down to block a William and Marypunt, with Fred Chavis recovering the ballon the Indian 11-yard line.Raymond Jones continued his acttaking it over from the one, scoring thefinal ECU touchdown of the day. TheIndians scored again in the second quartermaking the score 14-13, missing theextra point which proved to be the crucialmishap in the game for the Indians. All theother Pirate scoring in the second half wasa field goal by Pete Conaty of 35-36 yards.William and Mary also had two second halffield goals.As the second half progressed thePirate defense was sternly tested byWilliam and Mary, and the Greenvillegang met the challenge, and brought homevictory number three for the Pirates.OUTSTANDING PIRATESERNEST MADISONThe senior right cornerback of thePirates made the play of the day againstWilliam and Mary by snagging his first(Bingo) interception of the year stoppingERNEST MADISON, ECUTs ~super quickTdefensive back.Continued from page 2.Advantages and disadvantages of pledgingdiscussed by frat and sorority members~1 joined a fraternity because of thebrotherhood,TT Avery proudly exclaimed.oIt teaches one how to get along withothers.~~There are no disadvantages to being amember of a fraternity!T :After reiterating the typical fraternityphilosophy--brotherhood and a sense ofbelonging--Brian Kelsey offered anothernot so typical explanation.~There are advantages,T stated Kelsy.~o~Eor example, there is a study whichproves that members of Greek organi-zations have a better chance to graduatefrom college,TT revealed Kelsey.~oAlso, being in a fraternity gives methe chance to experience pledging--uniquein itself--to discipline myself and to work inthe community on social problems.�TKelsey also said people can loose theiridentity after joining a fraternity.~~Many times a fraternity member maybe branded or stereotyped,TT commentedKelsey. ~~He may loose friends or he maybecome ~a walking Kappa Mchine,T or awalking machine of whatever Greekorganization he belongs to.~~In other words, the Greek organi-zation controls his every move andthought.oA fraternity member may be thoughtof as a Kappa and not a Brian Kelsey, forexample,TT he explained. ~~These thingsmay be considered disadvantages tosomeone who is planning to become aGreek.TTAnother Kappa, Nick Bullock, said hejoined a fraternity because of the socialaspects.

Althoughthis was ErnestTs first bingo of the year, itwasnTt by far his first big play. MadisonRAYMOND JONES, ECUTs ~speedyT full-back.was responsible for breaking up the passintended for Elijah Marshall against N.C.State, the result being an interception byJim Bolding. Madison is a hitter and heTsreally been sticking people, and heTs beenplaying the run and pass well. Ernest isjust playing his way to achieve manypost-season honors, which the senior fromNorfolk, Va. deserves. Keep sticking Tem,Ernest.RAYMOND JONESThe versatile Pirate fullback recordedhis best game to date of the season againstWilliam and Mary. The speedy fullbackfrom Norfolk, Va. carried the ball 22 timesfor 109 yards and scored two touchdowns.The last couple of games Raymond hasbegun to shine as the Pirates outsidethreats Hawkins and Hicks has beenslowed down a little. Raymond has beencalled on to carry the load and he hasresponded well being the most consistentback in the first three games.Indians stainWilliam and Mary experienced a verysuccessful afternoon against the ECUPirates, offensively and defensively. ThePirates won but the Indians made severaldents and recorded several firsts, in thePirates statistics for the season.The Indian defense held the Pirates to278 total yards, the least for the Bucs inthree games, and their first game under300 yards total offense. The Pirates alsowere unable to complete a pass to awide-receiver. The offensive unit justwasnTt as sharp as in the previous games.The defense unit again proved to be thestrong point of the team, but it also had itsvunerable spots as the Indians were able toamass 333 total yards, the most given upby the defense to an opponent this season.William and Mary had a very balancedattack against the Pirates, being fairlysuccessful passing the ball.ECU pass rush was very weakthroughout the game, though on severaloccasions the Pirates put good pressure onRozantzT. The lack of a good rush can beHawkins and Hicks are super backs,but the man running and blocking in frontof them is a Super Brother, and is a break-away threat to be reckoned with alone, byopponents. So Keep on TruckinT, Ray.HAROLD RANDOLPHHarold ~~Too SmallT? Randolph is ajunior linebacker from Greenville, N.C.

So Eat Tem Up, TooSmall.ZACK VALENTINEZack Valentine, the lanky sophomoredefensive end from Edendon, N.C., startedfor his second year and is reallyprogressing super. He surely isa winner asCoach Pat Dye calls his starters. Zackcontinues his fine play as he blocked a puntand had numerous tackles and _ assists.Zack had a little extra load in the Williamand Mary game due to the absence of CaryGodette, but he arose to the occasion well,and made a fine effort for the Pirates.Pirates statspartially attributed to the absence ofAll-American defensive end candidateCary Godette. Godette who is recoveringfrom a knee injury against N.S. Statedressed for the game, but didnTt see anyaction.GodetteTs absence was missed instopping the Indian running game also, butmost of all his leadership was missed. Caryis definitely the leader of the defensivegang, and ateam leader. He exemplifies tothe upmost the senior leadership whichcoach Dye stresses for his team. Godettewill be ready for The Citadel this week.The Pirates were severely tested byWilliam and Mary, and in all honesty, thegame won't be considered one of the finerperformances of the year, by the coaches orplayers. But the fact remains we won whenwe played bad, which is a bright spot, anda good team has the character and class todo this. Coach DyeTs bunch showed theyhad a lot of both as they arose to theoccasion to hand William and Mary its firstdefeat of the season.
