"This is not the end of it by

Black Greeks take steps
to celebrate dance heritai
By J.Frank Hernandez
Special to The Battalion
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity
will celebrate more than 600 years
of black history Saturday during
its fifth annual Greek Olympiad
step show.
The 7:30 p.m. show in Rudder
Auditorium will feature step per
formances by Texas A&M's eight
black Greek organizations. Kappa
Alpha Psi, Delta Sigma Theta, Al
pha Phi Alpha, Alpha Kappa Al
pha, Omega Psi Phi, Phi Beta Sig
ma, Sigma Gamma Rho and Zeta
Phi Beta.
Stepping includes drill-like
stomp routines, chants, cane-
twirling and dances set to music.
Roger Merritt, a member of
Kappa Alpha Psi, said stepping
has an African heritage that
began with tribes each
having their own
distinctive dances.
graves had personally profited
from A&M business deals.
Richards forwarded the letter
to the Rangers who were also
asked by the Federation of A&M
Mother's Clubs to investigate the
reassignments of three top ad
ministrators in the Department
of Food Services.
The three men allegedly lost
their positions because they op
posed Robert Smith, vice presi
dent of finance and administra
tion, and his original plans to
privatize the Sbisa Underground
Food Court.
"Black
Greeks have
adopted that
heritage
through their
own styles,
whether foot
stomping or
through
twirling
canes," he said.
Step shows
are a competitive
way of celebrating
that heritage, Merritt
said.
The Nu Alpha chapter of Kap
pa Alpha Psi began its Greek
Olympiad in 1989 as the first step
show at Texas A&M.
Ryan McKeown, former presi
dent of the chapter, said the mem
bers felt A&M students wanted a
step show on campus when it was
created.
Other Texas colleges had step
shows at that time, including the
University of Texas, the Universi
ty of Houston .and North Texas
State University.
"It was on the minds of every
one," he said. "It was an idea that
was floating around on campus.
We just decided to attempt it."
McKeown said funding initial
ly was a problem due to the
$1,400 prize money and the $1,000
high school scholarship the frater
nity was planning to award.
McKeown said detailed plan
ning, organization and promotion
helped Kappa AlphaPi
come their problems ands
the Greek Olympiad
statewide event.
"It has definitely gro«

ence base of Bryan-Colfe
