Page Four THE BENNETT BANNER MARCH, 1942 PLANS FOR SUMMER INSTITUTE ANNOUNCED (Continued From Page One) concepts ot what that world is to be; 1. A world where the walls of racial prejudices and intolerance will not exist. 2. A world where the doors of opportunity will open to all in ac cordance with ability and capacity. 3. A world where all will under stand ihat such oi^portunity must be earned l>y appreciation and integrity. 4. A world where men and women of different races will share re sponsibilities with a common de termination to ibuild and sustain a nation where justice has been tem pered by mercy, and where citizen ship is measured by integrity, loyal ly and honor.” Health and Hygiene, Parent Edu cation, Nutrition, Consumer Proh- loms, Kecreation and the Di'ama, Home Crafts, and Community Ser vice are the seven main areas to be treated at the Workshop, which will be conducted in two three-week ses sions, and which will be open to a selected group of young persons known to be actively Interested in community leadership. When they return to their respective homes, these persons will be expected to share with the rest of the com munity, through clubs and other group work, the specialized informa tion and training which will be made availalile for them in the Workshop. Special audio-visual aids of all kinds are bein.g assembled at Ben nett now for the Workshop. Among thorn is a photographic (still and motion picture) “case study,” show ing a family meeting various typical proljlems in home defense, which is being i)repared on the Bennett campus. VUKiFMA STATE PLAYERS PRESENT PLAY (Continued From Page One) three schools will present plays to the delegates. Among the guests to be featured will be Owen Dodson, of Atlanta Union, w'ho will criticize the plays; J. Newton Hill of Lincoln Univer sity; and the president of the N. I. D. A. and other prominent figures in Negro Dramatic Arts. The student body, faculty, and general public are invited to share this experience with the Guild. Easter On the Campus The Easter vacation on the campus was quite an enjoyable and interest ing one. Despite the fact that aboiit one-half of the students spent the holidays at home or other places, no feeling of “loneliness” prevailed among those of us who remained. Perheps, the glaring sunshine and evidences of spring contributed much to the cheerful atmosphere, and spirit of gaiety which was so chai'acteristic of those who were here. Wiudow-shopping downtown, movies, games of tennis, soft ball, crocjuette, and l)adminton were the activities which i-eceived the most interest. Many of us spent Friday perform ing that much needed job of launder ing of spring prints. The others en gaged in a bit of “sleep catching”. Friday evening afforded a chance to attend the movies, or “tour Greens boro on foot”. An early morning hike ushered in Saturday, with many of its usual ac tivities: cleaning, shop/ping, and atrip to the movies. Saturday evening marked the arrival of many out of town visitors. Finally, Easter morning arrived in all its splendor. Early morning Mass, off the campus, was attended by a few. The others of us eagerly CAMPUS CHATTER I GOTCHA—BY ME Hello! I’ve finally gotten accus tomed to this new daylight time and have to admit it’s all right, but I’d like it better if I could just catch that hour of sleep I lost. I’ll never forget it. Birds, trees, green grass, and it must be spring — Spring or no spring. Freshmen are going in for taking pictures whole-hearted ly and Jean Roberts and Carmene Willett findi some good subjects. Jimmie Taylor (That hard New York boy) finds time to referee all the soft ball games at Bennett Reason? . . . figger it on Kent Hall. Well Vicky M. you finally decided, I see on Shelly, good choice too I’d say. Anybody seen Joe Evans lately? is brother Lefty teaching Joe the art of appreciating the things nearer to him at first? (must be). They tell me Muriel Gale is doing some age guessing (Prince you could clear this thing up if you caredi to.) I thought Freshmen were the only people whe became really homesick, but I heard a senior simging this one in the tune of “Dear Mom” (Bill is her brother). "Dear Bill, the weather today is cloudy and damp, I didn’t get any mail, and I don’t own a stamp, I’d just as soon be in military camp— Yes I’m lonely . . . Dear Bill, the food- is O. K. Please worry your head. I sleep in the day and at night I’m most dead, and Gee how I wish they’d make dear Bennett co-ed—Still I love it — If you should run into a certain “you know who” please talk up for me, tell him to write me night ly Dear Bill, That’s all for to night. It’s 10:30 now, the night is most gone and I’ve home work and how — the kids in the Sextette are having a row — and I’m lonely — Dear Bill.” You’d never guess who this lonely girl was — Did you know Elveta Feemster owns a Buick? Yes sir that’s my baby (she says) ■— Senior dance was mighty fine. Smith, A. & T., Shaw and Lincoln — well represented too. Fannie Strickland trips daily through the Buttercups— a happy girl is she cause Hinnant has it bad over her. (Mutual I’d say.) —Is Sarah Harris locking up some one’s dream boat? (Jerry has the keys) Mr. Grigsby says save for National Defense and “Remember Purl harder” How about the faculty play being a yearly thing — There’s some fine talent among ’em Ma Mac, Miss Everett, Mr. Whiting, and many others includinig Dr. Dett and Mrs. Dett. Miss Lois Taylor did a fine piece of work. Thelma Groves crossed out Thomas and took Luther. Two in love can face the world to gether so they say — and example of that is Annie Cornelius and Harry who are really two in love. We hope Jesse Owens enjoyed his stay as much as we enjoyed having him. Alice wants to know why celebrities don’t stay in the Freshmen Dormi tory sometimes. Well, It’s like this Alice — More room in the upper classmen rooms ibesides they don’t mind moving, (honestly). How many cultures does one class need—(Isn’t one enough). Millie Florence looking sad these days cause William Greene has gone to Tuskeegee. Are you still there Rosa Lomax — let us hear more noise from you. Love is the thing eh Marshall Pegrum and Del- phine Geddes? So long and don't let the moonlight getcha cause if it does I’ll getcha too— BY ME. BENNETT ON THE AIR The, regular weekday programs are still going over the air from Bennett each day except Saturday and Sunday. These sustaining programs are as follows: BENNETT COLLEGE ON THE AIR HOUR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS 3:30-3:45 “For Children’s Sake” Miss Myrtle Thompson 3:30-3:45 Afternoon Devotion Dean Virginia Simmons DAY Monday Tuesday Wednesday 3:30-3:45 Afternoon of Talent Thursday Friday ind students Bennett Students Miss Eva Dejournette 3:30-345 Achievements of Negroes 3:30-3:45 Consumer Education Dr. Albert Turner and Quiz Show students Visitors are welcome at all of the college broadcasts, which take place in in the Annie Mexner Pfeiffer Chapel and Little Theatre Building. journeyed to Church (some to enjoy the services, some to display the elegant “togs” in which they v^ere bedecked.) The delicious dinner was greatly enjoyed by students and guests who were with us. An afternoon nap and a walk downtown, a hilarious campus hour, a quiet campus hour ended the day. For Seniors, who have been graced with the privileges, perhaps a late “snack” or soda at the Grill marked the conclusion of the day. Many activities were crowded into Monday’s program. Many of us at tended the breakfast dance at A. and T. All of us gatliered in the gym in the afternoon for the matinee dance, given by the student senate. Music was furnished by Miss Judy Warren and her swingsters. Reluctantly, we then turned our attention to the discussion for Tues day's classes. However, the rest and entertainment, we enjoyed, helped us in renewing our work with enough “pep” and vitality to carry us through ’til June. Miss Anderson. The officers of the hostess group, the Bennett Little Theatre Guild are: Misses Hattie Taylor, president; Annie Green, vice-president; Francce Fonvielle, filing secretary; Helene Jacobs, business manager; Geraldine N e s b y, corresponding secretary; Daisy Alexander, recording secre tary; and Elveta Feemster, chairman of the social committee. The Junior Little Theatre Guild' was active also in making the week-end a success. ^Arm Yourself With Intellect” The threatening and chaotic con dition of our country, or the entire world, has caused both economic and social changes in our personal lives. Along with these changes has appeared a decrease in interest in the academic work of our college. While we are quite justified in main taining great concern over the con flict in which w'e are involved, it is strikingly necessary that we prepare ourselves to participate fully in the present and postwar struggle. There fore, we need to make use of the equipment at hand, and prepare our selves to meet the adjustments that must inevitably come. This prepara tion cannot be effected by the main taining of a nonchalant attitude. Such opportunities as those pre sented here, and in other under graduate schools, will never again be placed so fruitfully at our dis posal. As we have been urged by our various and capable addressees, let us “arm ourselves with intellect” and develop our capacities to the fullest extent. Since we are not measured by words, but in terms of deeds, why not let our actions pro claim the worth of our intent? Put all you have into each day. Let your determination be not like “Snowflakes upon the river — a moment white, tlien gone forever.” Your efforts should result in con- tinous trials for success. City Students The City Students are quite grate ful to the Qualitative Cooking for their cafeteria ser-vice. It gives the group a chance to have wholesome meals. On the last Monday in February during the regular meeting, the girls listened to several interesting discussions. Nancy Young discussed “The Importance of Physical Health”, Vivian Hayes discussed “Mental Health”, and “The Correct Thing to Wear”, was discussed by Roberta Favors. The discussions were great ly enjoyed by the girls. The main thing before the group now is the presentation of the com petitive play. Dorothy McNair, a former city student, is working with the group. Age is not measured in years, but in our interests, our receptive pow ers, our desire and willingness to give and to share.
