THE BENNETT BANNER
Pagre Three
B. C. BEAT
By PATRICIA MURRAY
it is rather certain that this
year’s College Party was one
that will be remembered. Af
ter all, it is not often that
Bennett has none other than
Count Basie and his band.
One drum feature was really
the “top” of the night.. It was
too bad, though, that so ma
ny fellows from A&T were tak
ing final examinations. We ex
tend thanks to Dr. Player and
ail of those who helped to
make the dance a total success.
During the weekend of the
CIAA basketball tournament,
many former students were
seen on campus. Among them
were: Misses “Jackie” Cumber-
lander, Tommie Miller,
Yvonne Jeffries, Randolyn
Johnson, Karen Smith, Mae
Young. All were looking well
and swinging gently.
Congratulations to Antres
Buford, a sophomore, who re
cently received an engagement
ring, also an Omega fraternity
pin was received by a certain
young lady in Cone Hall.
March 19 was Senior Day
and it marked, for the senior
class, a major event leading to
commencement. This was one
more step toward the end of
four long years of study. The
seniors would like to extend
their thanks to their sister class,
the sophomores, for helping to
make the occasion a memor
able one.
Speaking of seniors, a com
mon sight these days has been
the constant flow of employers,
high school principals and field
representatives who are inter
viewing prospective employees.
It is obvious from the appear
ance of the young ladies that
they’re trying to “put their
best foot forward”.
Congratultaions Barge Hall
on winning the inter-dormitory
basketball tournament. We
must admit that it wasn’t easi
ly done. There were several
good teams that put up a hard
fight. There was truly enough
team spirit as well as dorm spi
rit in all games.
Good luck, Choir, on your
upcoming tour. We know that
we can expect your best per
formance. However, we don’t
want to hear of any transfers to
Howard or Bucknell since you
will visit these “interesting”
universities.
Do your best, seniors, on the
National Teachers Examina
tion and the Graduate Record
Examination. This may mean
your future! 1!
INQUIRING REPORTER
Question: What did you gain from die Homemaking Injtitute?
REMEMBER THIS
Sent to a Bennett Senior by
Her Sweetheart
Be good, but not too good—
a little naughty, but not too
naughty. Say a prayer if you
feel that way, say Damn if it
gives you consolation.
Be kind to the world always,
if possible—yet you must be un
kind, smash right and left, get
it over and forget it.
Smile, always smile, have a
smile ready even though some
times it hurts. Grab all the
happiness you can — whenever
you can and wherever you can.
Don’t let even a wee bit slip
past you. Live above all things
live, don’t simply exist
If you are blessed enough to
know what real love is — love
with all your heart, soul and
body.
Live your life so that at any
hour you will be able to shake
hands with yourself and try to
accomplish at least one thing
worth while each day. Then
when your nights come you
will be able to pull up the co
vers and say to yourself — “I
have done my best.”

“To me the most interesting
activities planned by the com

field trips. As students, we are
easily bored by continuous lec

larger percentage of the stud

SUPPORT YOUR
FUTURE
No I’m not the chapel repre
sentative instigating a larger
donation for the Bennett collec
tion plate. Nor am I a Student
Senate representative in search
of funds for the United Ne^o
College Fund. And no, again.
I’m not a future fashion coor
dinator seeking funds for my
personal career. (However,
that’s not a bad idea.)
I am, however, an ambassa
dor promoting and campaign
ing to strengthen what you
might call a foreign affairs
policy.
To many, legs and feet are
foreign affairs, and deserve
no extra consideration or sup
port, and in turn are complete
ly neglected or blighted areas.
This is most definitely a mis-
truth, for there is nothing
more necessary than a firm
foundation..
Have you ever heard the ex
pression, “you can’t see the for
est for the trees?” Well, there
is nothing more displeasing to
the eye than a foundation com
pletely covered with brush.
Fifteen minutes, water and a
mower (not necessarily a power
mower) can eliminate this situ
ation and create a smooth
foundation.
The root of this foundation
think that I was at a disadvan
tage in that I could not make
a comparison between Greens
boro today and yesterday, thus,
measuring the average amount
of progress that has been made.
The observational field trip
which I took Tuesday helped
me make a sharp comparison
between what would be classi
fied as upper class, middle
class, and lower class neighbor
hoods. I noticed, however, that
we saw for the most part Negro
neighborhoods. I would like
to have contrasted them with
the white communities.
“I found the Homemaking
Institute to be quite imforma-
tive and interesting.”

K. I. B. Returns To
Bennett College
Once again. Dr, Kenneth L
Brown (aiiectionately KIB) was
welcomed on campus by Uie
Bennett Family. Many of us, I
am sure, will remember Dr.
and Mrs. Browns onc-moiith
stay on our campus last No

“iu.Bs” became a well-known
part of the Bennett Family,

Service on February 28. In at-
tempcing to explain the term
honesty, Dr. Brown borrowed
a deiinition from his grand
daughter Julie: “Honesty is to

to make, on time, and as you
said you would and always.

Neglected blighted areas need
support in order to enchance
society, whether they be the
slums of the nation or the legs
of your body. The blighted
areas of the nation are covered
(or should be covered) by for
eign aid policies and, in turn,
your legs should be covered
by hosiery, for protection, as
well as for feminine appeal.
A woman is not completely
dressed until her foundation is
completely covered.
Due to the surge in the field
of research and technology,
these foundation covers come
in many colors, features, and
styles to fit most anytime and
occasion. Don’t try to “wear
them all, but use your own dis
cretion in deciding which
ones will be most suitable for
your particular foundation.
With colors and styles of
shoes as extensive as the na

again use discretion in se

All College Party
On Thursday, March 4, the
“ALL COLLEGE PARTY”
was held in the David D. Jones
Student Union.
The count Basie Band added
to the success and gaity of
the evening.
But the splendor of the
gowns was a sight to behold.
The “Bennett Belles” were
really the “Belles” of the ball.
Did you notice the young
lady wearing a long black crepe
skirt with a white long-sleeved
crepe sailor blouse? 1 wonder
if it was worn because of her
marine escort?
Variety was the note of the
evening with a deep blue vel
vet top, set on with a printed
quilt skirt. That was different.
O, remember that stunning
black beaded sleevless top
with a deep “V” nckline and
the back, (oopsi), there was
none.
I saw a tall slender fi^re
adding much to a multiplicity
of color in a dress with a very
smart looking tie in the back.
A “Bennett Fashion Show”
should sum it up.
Regina Carpenter
saw how far-
reaching it was
and. tne many
benefits that can be obtained
from the act. I see that this is
a self-help program and that
the government is not giving
every tning tor nothing. The
man in the street must make
the first move to help himself.
With this program i do not
think that there is any possibi
lity of a family man losing his
self-esteem. He can feel proud
in what he is doing and in
what he is receiving. The good
that will come from this pro
gram will not hinder the coun
try but strengthen it morally
and economically.”
Mary Douglass, junior, De
troit, Mich., elementary educa
tion major:
“I think that
the Homemak-
i n g Institute
was very suc-
c e s s f u 1 this
year. The
speakers, semi
nars and the
field trips were
very informa
tive.
“From the
institute I gained more speci
fic information about the war
on poverty, why it was de-
cfared, what it is doing and
what it expects to do in the
future. The most important
factor I gained from the Home-
making Institute was that I
could become involved in the
War On Poverty.”
