Sorority
installed

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.

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,

The African roots of black |
culture are another testimony to ,
black survival in the centralization
of blacks in cities, Bowser said. |
Sociological research by blacks in |
the past reported only certain ,
thintfs in order to ffive information i
that would build up the race in the j
eyes of whites, Bowser said. ,
"SOME VARIATIONS of African j
backgrounds are those customs ,
that have not been influenced by ,

are a product of black influence on
the white population," Bowser J

Bowser said there are five major
trends that will have an impact on
the choices blacks will make in the
next few years.
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.
