I have come to truly believe that phrase, especially when it comes to Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., and most definitely it applies to the Middle Western Province. A brother recently asked me what I most liked about the job of Province Polemarch and what I disliked the most about the position. I replied, I most like the enlightenment about our organization, having my Walt Disney glasses slapped off my face with the reality of Kappa Alpha Psi in it's true essence. I dislike the fact that having seen the essence of Kappa Alpha Psi today, that no matter how vivid the description and facts I share, some brothers still don't get IT, refuse to believe IT, or intentionally don't accept IT. And The Beat Goes On - that's another Whisper's tune!!!<P>      Hopefully, by now, all our chapters have met at least once since their summer recess, and things are starting to take shape. For those that have yet to reunite I look forward to having you back in the saddle. We are coming together on the heels of an outstanding Conclave in Charlotte. We reached or exceeded our registration goals, and I feel confident that financially speaking our cash flow and net are positive.<P>      Conclave for me started with the Council of Province Polemarchs Dinner. It is at this event we honor those members of our Council who retired from the position of Province Polemarch since the last Grand Chapter Meeting in Cleveland. You might not be aware, but since our meeting in Charlotte we have had some additional retirements from the Council. Currently, there is only one other Province Polemarch remaining on the Council that I have served with over the past four years, the Southern Province Polemarch. I feel like a neophyte all over again despite the fact that I'm now the second most senior member of our Council. I'm going to miss my colleagues.<P>      As The Beat Goes On. If you did not attend the comedy show or the Grand Chapter concert, let me tell you, OUTSTANDING is the only way to put it. My ribs are still healing from laughing so hard, and my feet won't forget the groove from the concert. The talent for both events was so good when I think about what I paid for my tickets I look over my shoulder for the police, I feel like I was stealing. Of course, we did take care of some business also. Several of the proposed amendments to our National Constitution and Statutes were adopted. One of those that failed would have reduced the circulation of our award winning "Journal" to three times a year versus the four we have now. Following my remarks is a posting of all the amendments that were adopted. One of the items that was approved that we need to pay immediate attention to deals with a Grand Chapter Dues increase and an increase in the Initiation fees. Following my message is an exhibit on both items. <P>      We even elected the team for the future. I asked you to support what I felt would be the team to continue to move Kappa into the future, and you responded accordingly - THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT. Our Grand Polemarch has kicked off a series of "Chat With The Grand Polemarch" sessions on the Internet. He began with the Northern Province. The Grand Polemarch will be chatting in a moderated discussion room, and the chats will be by invitation to only one Province at a time. Provinces are required to provide a Province email list to our Grand Chapter Web Master. A chat invitation is extended to the Province, our Province Web Master will inform the Province with respect to date and time, a secured web link will be released via the province email list, and the chat will commence from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. (EST) on the third Wednesday of the month. Our administration is hard at work. Following my message is a listing (below) of those elected to office in Charlotte. I would truly be remiss if I didn't pay special attention to the fact that our Province is represented on this team, <B>Brother Phillip Hodges</B> of the Eta Chapter was elected to the Grand Board of Directors.<P>      It Just Gets Better With Time. After serving several years as our Junior Grand Vice Polemarch, <B>Brother Steven Pritchett</B> gave the address of his life at our closed banquet, and <B>Brother Melvin Sanders</B>, Polemarch of St. Louis Alumni, received the torch from Charlotte Alumni. Your Province took <A TARGET="_blank" href="http://www.kapsimwp.com/Pics/WebAward.jpeg" ALT="First Place Award">FIRST PLACE</a> for content in the Web Site competition (<B>Brother "Ceedy" Morgan</B> never sleeps), and we all rededicated ourselves to our fundamental purpose.<P>      As The Beat Goes On. It's Friday now, I don't know where the hell I'm at, no sleep, too much to eat, I need a Vodka Martini neat!!! It's picnic time and the buses are rolling, and you arrived at a well organized serving line of fresh fish served piping hot on the spot. I've died and gone to heaven. (Despite what some of you might think, I'm in!) On Saturday night, I had changed into my Sunday best and went balling (you undergraduates have such a dirty mind), I attended our Grand Ball, after dancing the night away with the only woman I love (points, points) I think it's safe to say I had a good time.<P>      It Just Gets Better With Time. I am making a few changes to our committee structure, following my message is our new lineup of committee chairmen and other appointed positions. We should be preparing for our upcoming C. Rodger Wilson Leadership Conference in Oklahoma City this November, hosted by our Epsilon Gamma Chapter. There are a number of time tables, items, etc., etc., etc.; things that all our chapters should be doing by now. Please pay close attention to the exhibit detailing the administrative items required for chapters following this message.<P>      In closing, I just realized I lied about what I most liked about the job of Province Polemarch. It's knowing each and every one of you that makes this job rewarding. My name is Adolphus Morris Pruitt, II and I'm Working For You, What's Your Pleasure?<P> Yours in the Bond,<BR> Adolphus M.

Crumbley Gets National Appointment</B></font><P> <font size=3> <B>Grand Polemarch Samuel C. Hamilton</B> has appointed our own <B>Brother Elmer Joseph Crumbley</B> of the Omaha Alumni Chapter as Chairman of the National Advisors Committee. Brother Crumbley is one of the "best and brightest" members of the Middle Western Province who has what may well be the most varied and distinguished fraternity career within our province, having served his local chapter as Polemarch, Keeper of Records and Exchequer, Board Member, Membership Intake Chairman, Director of Guide Right and Director of Reclamation.<P> At the province level, Brother Crumbley has served as Chairman of the Achievement Awards Committee, Chairman of the Nominating Committee, Balloting Committee Chairman, Undergraduate Loan Fund Committee Co-Chairman, Alpha Eta Chapter Advisor, and is currently a member of the Province Board of Directors and Province Chairman of the Undergraduate Advisors Committee. He is also renown in our province for the high caliber of training that he has given to Chapter Advisors and Membership Intake Chairmen, in particular, and many other officers and members who have been fortunate enough to experience his unique, inspiring and informative training sessions.<P> His service to the Grand Chapter has included, among other things, membership on the Laurel Wreath Commission, the National Achievement Commission and the National Advisors Committee. His proven record is one of service and dedication to Kappa Alpha Psi, the Omaha Alumni Chapter, and the Middle Western Province.<P> He has not only worked tirelessly at a multitude of tasks in every administrative level of our fraternity, he has "been there" when so many of us found other things to do. For more than a dozen years, Brother Crumbley has attended EVERY Province Council, and he has been present at EVERY C. Rodger Wilson Leadership Conference. In our province, his attendance record is unsurpassed during that time frame.<P> Brother Crumbley is the consumate Kappa man who has lived by our fraternity creed and fulfilled our fundamental purpose of achievement both in his Kappa career and his chosen field of endeavor. He is a professional educator who has been recognized and awarded by his peers locally, regionally and nationally, having received, among other things, the Nebraska Governor's Art Administrator of the Year Award. As Principal of Omaha's Skinner Magnet Center (named in honor of our <B>Brother Eugene W. Skinner</B>), Brother Crumbley has made his mark and continues to blaze new trails for others to follow.<P> Initiated in 1976 through the Omaha Alumni Chapter, Brother Crumbley is a Life Member of Kappa Alpha Psi, a Life Member of the Middle Western Province, and his many unselfish exploits have most recently earned him the acclaim of our province when he received our highest honor, the Lifetime Achievement Award, at the 81st Province Council. Clearly, his appointment by our Grand Polemarch is well deserved, and we join in wishing him congratulations and best wishes for continued success.<P> <hr WIDTH="100%"> <A NAME = "Province Officers"> <CENTER> <b><font size="5">Middle Western Province Officers and Committee Chairmen</font></b> <br> <hr width=65%></center> </CENTER> <table border=0 align=center width=590 bordercolor=CFB53B> <TR> <TD align=right valign=top width=150> <div align=right> <img src="http://www.kapsimwp.com/News/NewsPhotos/Pruitt.Adolphus.79th.jpeg" border="2" height=100> </div> </td> <TD align=left valign=center width=20> <div align=center> </div> </td> <td valign=top bgcolor=CFB53B> <div align=left width=420> <font size="4" color="darkred"> <B>The 16th Polemarch of the Middle Western Province</B> </FONT> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="5" color="darkred"> <P> <B>Adolphus M.

The site is designed to preserve and display documents, photos and other articles of historical significance about chapters in our province, as well as our province-at-large. For this project to be successful and grow even more, we ask each of you to examine your archives in search of items that would be appropriate for inclusion in the museum. Many chapters are not yet represented here. Our highest priority at the moment has to do with the kinds of items that <U><B>MUST</B></U> be digitized for permanent keep before they might be destroyed by deterioration or otherwise lost forever.<P> Obviously a work in progress, we will eventually provide "captions" for items currently archived in our museum that are not self-explanatory. As you submit items for inclusion, we ask that you provide an accompanying explanation where appropriate. For instructions on how to submit documents and photos in a suitable format, please contact our Museum Curator at <a href="mailto:Museum@KAPsiMWP.com">Museum@KAPsiMWP.com</a>. </FONT> <hr WIDTH="100%"> <A NAME = "Address Change"> <img src="http://www.flash.net/~cwmorgan/GIFM/question.gif" ALT="Question Mark" ALIGN=LEFT> <font size=5> <B>E-Mail Addresses</B></font><P> <font size=3>    The technology of the Internet has become more than a luxury in the year 2003.
