Public personalities included in Kappa Alpha Psi
What do athletes Bill Russell and
Arthur Ashe have in common with Los
Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley? .
Besides being successful public figures,
they're all members of Kappa Alpha Psi,
one of the largest black fraternities in the
nation.
According to UNL's chapter president
Charlester Williams, Kappa Alpha Psi,
an official Greek fraternity, is not oniy
a national, but an international organiza
tion. "The major problem holding this
chapter back is that most people don't
have enough knowledge of the fraternity
on a national scale," Williams said. "Every
effort should be made to introduce and
familiarize Kappa Alpha Psi with the
white majority and the black minority.
"Many important and successful black
men in America are affiliated directly or
indirectly with Kappa Alpha Psi," Williams
said. "The two top black speakers coming
to Lincoln this year (Julian Bond and
Ralph Abernathy) are both Kappas."
60th anniversary
The UNL chapter will celebrate its
60th anniversary next November, making
it five years younger than the original
chapter, established in 1911 in
Bloomington, Ind. .
"Our main concern on this campus is
as a scholastic organization, but we realize
we must adapt to our situation," Williams
said. "The situation here does not stress
academic achievement for blacks."
Of the estimated 300 UNL black
students, 20 men belong to Kappa Alpha
Psi.
Social outlet
Williams stressed the need for a "social
outlet" for black students.
"We try to provide a social as well as
academic atmosphere," he said. "Lack of
a social life promotes a lack academically.
Many blacks hold the mistaken belief that
we're purely a social organization."
Williams said he is frequently asked why
their fraternity has no house.
"We're working on getting a house now.
No one gives us any credibility because we
dont have a house, but we don't have time
to deal with financial problems," he
explained. "We have to deal with keeping
the black student in school, and helping
him assimilate without losing his identity
and culture."
Although the fraternity is an official
Greek fraternity, Williams said they have
no association with the formal Rush Week.
The Kappas host parties open to
everyone, "including the white majority,"
he said, although few white students evsr
attend. Most functions are held at the
UNL Culture Center or the Village Inn
Convention Center.
There are eight in the Kappa pledge
class, Williams said, but added, "We're not
dealing in quantity, we're dealing in
quality."

Malcolm Bricklin, the first man to put
his name on a car he designed since Henry
J. Kaiser did after World War II, will be
speaking at UNL Friday and Saturday.
Bricklin, founder and chairman of the
Board of General Vehicle, Inc., manufact
urers of the new safety car the Bricklin
SVL, quit school after his sophomore year
at the University of Florida to establish a
building supply company. After helping
develop Handyman Stores, a hardware
store based on the Mseven-day-a-week
neighborhood drive-in" idea, he sold his
interest.
Bricklin later became involved with Fuji
Heavy Industries, Ltd., which led to the
establishment of Subaru of American,
Inc. Bricklin sold control of the firm in
1971, but he remains one of the largest
single stockholders.
Determined to develop the safest, most
roadworthy production car ever built,
his creation is a two-seat fastback with
gull-wing doors and aerodynamic styling.
There are more than 300 Bricklin
SVL dealers throughout the Northeast and
Midwest.
An open forum with students is sche
duled for 1 1 :30 a jn. Friday, with a public
lecture at 3:30 pan. in the Nebraska Union
Centennial Room. The film, "The Bricklin
Story" will be shown at 3 p jn. in the
Union.
A Bricklin SVL will be on display
Friday north of the Union near Broyhill
Fountain.
