Sorority installed By KAREN LEE Gamecock Staff Writer The first sorority to be installed at USC in ten years, Sigma Sigma Sigma, joined other USC sororities last Thursday. T ?IA.l-1 A A nuLiui contacts were made i more than 25 years ago to install the Delta Kappa; chapter, however the sorority has only been a colony at USC 1" since 1975. A colony is a beginning stage for a sorority, gone through while the chapter prepares a charter. Sigma Sigma Sigma has 25 initiates and 7 alumnae at the USC chapter, and is the ooly usu sorority which owns a house. Some members are already residing in the house. While it was a colony, the sorority worked with children at the Richland Memorial Hospital. Members made and presented puppets and other presents to seriously ill children there. They also gave the children books at Christmas and hope to do a project for them at Easter. BMBBM???BM??M??IMI Will IIII j survive b) blacks are temporary. As a result there is no black middle class comparable to the white middle class. Black upper class families of the 1930's and 1940's have moved down to the middle and lower classes, Bowser said. Bowser cited four different at titude variations which affect blacks. "In the variations of'attitudes there is the Mulatto Orientation, in which the mulattoes feel they are superior to their darker brothers and sisters." In the Black Burgeosis, much of life is not taken seriously by the blacks. In the White Orientation the blacks are not distinguishable from whites, and in the Folk Orientation, which is more prominant in the older generation, erences wil.

Hie first major trend is that the Mack centralized cities are becoming dispersed, so that by the year 2000, central cities will no * longer be black. "With a dispersed population, voting potential is diluted, so blacks will have to enter into coalition politics, and the question of race will not be a major concern but relegated to urban municipal problems or the problem of the suburbs," Bowser said. THE SECOND trend is the slow movement of industrialization from the Northeast to the South and Southwest, Bowser said. As a result of high population in Northern communities, jobs are inaccessible even for those with education. Speakers com 1%,^ ? A*- - - x ?g d|kcuic? uiai are open 10 ai held this week.

What we have is influence, lot power, and there's a big diference between the two," Bowser laid. Bowser said the fourth trend has o do with a kind of research in tinmfvliml fwhnnlnuu tHo ??
