What Iwould like to look at is thefeeling of East CarolinaStudents about their Frater-nitiesWhen asked the question,What do you think of when-I say Black Fraternitiies andsoroities? Many answers aregiven, some good and somebad. This question was ask-ed to students and com-munittee members aroundEast Carolina and these aresome of the things they hadto say.Although many of theresponses were very positive' there where just as manynegitive responses. Many ofthe students felt that thesororities put too much em-phisis on good looks andmoney rather than _ pro-moting the uplifting ofblack womenhood on thecampus. But, this feelingwas met with a rebuttal.The response was ~~Yesmany of our prittiest blackfemales are in many of thesoroities, and yes it doestake money to be in thesoroites, but as far as pro-moting womanhood theydo stand by that claim.Because whenever you seeany one of the membersthey; are always dressednice and always conductingthemselves as ladies. Thisgoes for all the sororities.�T_As for the fraternities oneresponce was, ~~When Ithink about. the BlackGreeks I think about theStep shows and the dances;the colors Black and Gold,Red and White, and Blueand White; these are my.favorite.

It was tobe no cake walk for ECUthough. Only six teamsmade it to the tourney butfour of them, N.C.

Allfour of the top teams nowhad a 4-1 record with onegame remaining. The War-riors could only win if N.C.State beat the MarinePLCTs and ECU beat Favet-teville State. In a bitterlyfought contest, N.C.

"Because of the projected_ sterotype about the ghetto, the ideaof a positive role model arising fromthese areas seems highly unlikely.However, there are positive rolemodels in ghetto areas in places like~ Chicago and New York. These im-- portant models are believed to betaken away by integration.

She looksdown at some magazinesresting on the coffee table. |Mainly, what is there are afew fashion magazines: Jet,Seventeen. At the bottomof the pile she sees TheAuto Mechanic Book that ~she had bought. An un-conventional part of her lifeis her fascination forautomobiles and auto ~mechanics. As a young girl,she had helped repairseveral cars with her lateuncle who knew everythingabout the inner workings ofcars.
