Spotlighting
first chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha was founded at Howard
University in 1908 by Ethel Hedgeman Lyle.
Since that time the sorority has grown to include 104 under
graduate chapters and 153 alumni chapters. The Delta Gamma chap
ter was chartered at the University on March 14, 1953
The local chapter began with
only 10 girls, but has since added
four members. However, their
small number hasn’t been a hand
icap when it comes to winning
honors.
During their first year on cam
pus. the AKAIs won the intra
mural participation l cup by tak
ing part in volleyball, softball,
basketball, bowling, ping pong,
and badminton.

Kappa Alpha Psi, and members

Looking Glass
By Gabbi
Dig deep gang, it’s gift-giving
time and who cares—it’s spring
and everything is easier to
take now—everything but blue
books,' late hours and cold
shpwers. All kinds of celebra
tions—engagements, approach
ing marriages and Mother’s Day
—how could we forget. ETH
ELS didn’t forget to stock up
with a galaxy of gifts to suit
individual tastes.
It's in the bag
and it’s straw, too! Gay, like
spring and summer, huge tote
purses in natural, navy, or
black straw, topped with huge
helpings of cherries, flowers or
shells. Any femme will love
their roominess carry your
lunch (4 course meal, if you
like), roommate, anything else
that’s lying around. Patent lea
ther is still a keynote for spring
—ETHELS got them, in the
bag too!
Won't set the world on fire
but it sure will start a spark
in Mom’s heart—that is, these
ladies’ Elgin lighters that are
dainty and compact and never
fail to light up. Delicately
etched and really lovely, she’ll
enjoy it each time she lights
up one of those great cigarettes
we see so seldom advertised.
Cigarette cases are really a
boon to the hate-loose-tobacco
advocates, keeps them uncrush
ed and fresh in lovely pastel
leather cases.
Sparkle in her eye
and in her jewelry that's
unique and unusual from ETH
ELS. Loads of summer styles
to choose from to help mom
complete that spring outfit.
And when she’s not wearing
them, she can be storing them
in shantung jewelry cases that
are flat and compact to fit in
drawers without taking up un
necessary space. (Too bad we
can’t put more things in
drawers that take up space!)
Gosh, people, you’d better get
with it—the day’s looming up
and we hate last minute rush
ing (even though we do it
daily) besides it’s fun to
browse in ETHELS. Choose
your Mother’s Day card from
a selection of the unusual and
modern . . . we’ll be seeing you.
