1 Black ororitv INTERNATIONA MONTESSORI SCHOOLS was in town to get things moving. With re organization completed by the end of the 40s, Dr. Deborah Wolfe, elected in 1954, started turning the organization to its social service principles, which were proclaimed in the early days, but implemented only sporadically. The former chief of education for the House Committee on Education and Welfare, she organized the African chapter of Zeta, started a vocational training school in Liberia and sent representatives of the sorority to conferences on child welfare during her 14 a administration, which ended in 1965. Black awareness slowly penetrating the superstructure of the organization has presented a new crisis.

"I remember when we had a convention and you. Mrs. Bradham wore braids and carried a baby carriage as part of pledging. An older sister, though a Zeta, refused to take her to school in the costume, she recalled. "When I came home I was afraid, to tell her I had been elected president and had agreed to serve," she told the audience.

The 30s decimated the ranks of the sorority and in 1943 Lellelia W. Harrison, a Houston school teacher, started a complete reorganization. She traveled around the country, announcing to surprised and unsuspecting local chapter presidents their grand basileus START YOUR CHILD ON THE RIGHT PATH AT AGE 2I2T0 9 A were too poor for both to join, so we decided the ol-dest should. Then we walked around the reservoir and made up our minds to sacrifice and both go in together," recalled Mrs. Myrtle Tyler Gaithful and Viola Tyler Goings.

Until the 1930s the presidents were all students. During this period Mrs. Bradham pledged at Morris Brown College in Georgia. Zeta was the largest sorority on the Morris Brown campus, and boasted "the dressiest women on campus." They selected members by their social tion. BULDOCS UTILE GEMS 2 Part Aug.

10,1 970 Hairstyle by Sassopn Veils Lib BT JULIE BYRNE TlmM Stan Wrtttr Just when women's Lib is getting in full swing, Vi-dal Sassoon throws it a curve. His latest hairstyle puts women back in a form of purdah with a filmy veil of hair that drifts over the face a la the Arabian yashmak. This new Sasson hair design might also be called hair sculpture as it is reminiscent of hairstyles appearing on ancient Grecian statues, circa 550 BC. The basic cut is both long and short. Top hair is cut short and layered to fit the skull like a cap.

Hair at the nape and above the ears is left long and free-flowing. The banged front follows the same recipe to achieve the veil of hair. If peering through hair makes you uptight, the long hair can be wound turban like around the head with wispy tendrils left to fall at the nape and cheek line. Another variation on the long plus short theme shows the short top hair straight dnd sleek, the long, frizzed to look like the artificial angel hair of-ten used to decorate Christmas trees. i Used Clothing Donations Asked for Thrift Sale DANA POINT Donations of used clothing for the Dana Point Community House Thrift Sale, Oct 14 and 15, may be left in the patio at the rear of the facility, 24642 San Juan or arrangement may be made for pickup through the Busy Bee Answering Service; Good clean clothes of all sizes are needed to build a good stock.

sis BY BARBARA BOWMAN xctuilv to Tti TlmH from tht WtHilnfton Pout WASHINGTON Earlier this year, the leader of Zeta Phi Beta sorority tried to discourage black women who planned to attend their 50th anniversary celebration from bringing their fanciest clothes. But most of the 825 dele-. gates who are college-educated and generally middle aged arrived here for the weekend with fur stoles and other trappings of the black upper-middle-class society. In efforts like the clothing request, some leaders have tried to blunt the elitist image of the organization, in the midst of the widening black revolution. And the crowd at the Shoreham Hotel through the week, characterized by gray hair rather than afros, the painful identity crisis being experienced by older black organizations that have lasted until today.

Polite Applause The sorors (sisters), comprised largely of educators, applauded politely after the first black federr al judge, Leon Higgen-botham, spoke movingly of the tribulations of the black woman. The applause was louder when Marion Barry of Pride, called for black unity. But there was no applause when Mrs. Mildred Bradham, the grand basi-leus (president), told them next time their convention would be held at a black-owned hotel. "The young people say we are irrelevant, you know," Mrs.

Bradham told one of the gatherings in her firm Southern-accented voice. "But we are not going to close the doors of Zeta Phi Beta." The five founders and many of the former grand basilie recalled fondly, during a three-hour luncheon, how the doors of the sorority opened at Howard University in 1919, when that university was the national social center for black society. With a membership of 24,000, it is one of four formerly all-black sororities of professional women, all founded in the same era. "A Phi Beta Sigma brother' asked me to form a sister organization for them. We were to be first brother-sister Greek org animations," recalled Mrs.

Arizona C. Stemons, a the founder. On a Howard a whera girls from elite black families hardly went anywhere without a chaperone and the flapper era was just Mrs. Stemons remembered how she worked in the fall of 1919 with four other coeds to organize the sorority. After many meetings in a room of a dormitory, now torn down, the five members were ready to ask permission to establish the third sorority on campus.

"On Jan. 16, 1920, we made our appearance on campus and received a warm reception from the existing Alpha Kappa Alpha and Delta Sigma Theta sororities. "A dance was given in our honor at the Whitelaw Hotel, the best for Negroes in Washington," said Mrs. Stemons, obviously enjoying the recollection. Taking turns at the microphone, two of the ori-' ginal members who were sisters recounted how "we BPW Will Hear Talk on Drugs SAN JUAN CAPIS-TRANO Dr.
