Plans are made for the
formation of a corporation
between predominately black
colleges and universities and
local businesses and industries
as well as some of the nations
largest firrs.
The “Co-op” will provide
on-the-job training for
students during the regular
school-year through the
summer traineeships for
students, and industrial
internships for college
professors. If such a program is
carried out it could provide
invaluable experience for the
student.
On Feb. 9, 1970, sessions
were held at the Albert Pick
Motor Inn where
representatives from 16
predominately black
Institutions attended. Bennett
College was not listed as
having sent representatives.
The President of Bennett
College, Dr. I.H. Miller, stated
that “only institutions that
were technically or
vocationally oriented were
invited to the meetings.”
When asked would tlie
influence of industry on the
curriculum be good for
Bennett, Dr. Miller made these
remarks: “First of all we must
remember that Bennett
College is an all-girls liberal
arts school. If our curriculum
were geared toward industry
we would have to know the
answer to some basic
(|uestions.” "Of the young
women who will seek
post-high school education in
the years ahead, will there be a
substantial number who are
interested in pursuing careers
in industry? Next, assuming
that there is a growing
demand for this kind of special
emphasis, is it. not likely
that the interested student will
choose to attend those
institutions which already have
The Six Institutions'
Consortium is a functional
arrangement, subscribed to by
six North Carolina colleges and
universities, to foster
Inter-institutional cooperation
for the purpose of pooling
resources and strengthening
member institutions in the
direction of achieving the
overall quality Improvement
of undergraduate education.
The member institutions of
the Consortium are:
Barber-Scot ia College.
Concord, N.C.; Bennett
College. Greensboro, N.C.;
Livingstone College. Salisbury,
N.C.; Saint Augustine's
College, Raleigh. N.C.; Sliaw
University, Raleigh. N.C.; and
Winston-Salem State
University, Winston Salem,
N.C.
Founded between IS65 and
IS92. these are all accredited
centers of higher learning and
service with a total student
enrolment of almost 6.000.
well established technically
oriented programs? Finally, if
Bennett could mount a
program with significant
industrial orientation, will
students elect to pay the
higher costs of attending a
private school (fees would
naturally be increased to buy
necessary equipment and to
pay teachers), when equivalent
training is to be had A&T
State University and the
Technical Institutes at
considerably lower cost?”
Dr. Miller does, however,
see other areas, in addition to
teacher education, in which
Bennett College has high
potential for developing
exciting programs. "The
Natural Science Division can
provide in increasing numbers
tiie chemists, microbiologists,
and medical technologist
needed in government and
industry and hospitals; Home
Economics might gear itself to
train more specialists to work
with low-inconie families in
family planning, budgeting,
food purchasing and
preparation; there are
tremendous possibilities in
Health and Physical
Education, and the
oj)portunities for creativity in
the^ Humanities are limitless.
With the growing national
concern for the problems of
the urban society, there is a
great opportunity for the
Social Sciences to come up
with something that is truly
exciting. This seems to be
where the action is. More and
more there is a need for
college graduates with
preparation in the fields of
psychology and sociology.”
“Bennett College still has
many important things to do
from its liberal arts base, and
given the faculty and the
students we can look forward
to some really exciting times
in the seventies.”
The Consortium came into
being in 1967 at a Summer
Workshop on
i n t e r - i n s t i t u t i o n a I
Cooperation, funded by the
Ford Foundation. A planning
grant from tlie U.S. Office of
Education in I96S-69 enabled
the Consortium to identify the
areas of institutional
cooperation as well as engage
in specific activities.
The Consortium seeks to
provide an opportunity for
each institution to express
more adequately what it
considers its distinctive
individuality In its
undergraduate offerings,

ARIES: March 21 - April
19
Aries love is strong,
powerful and very hard to
hold back. In relationships
centered around love, Aries
people make wonderful
partners, for in their love life
there is never a dull moment.
Without love, however, Aries is
very unstable, going from one
relationship to another and
winding up lonely and
frustrated. Aries love is so
great that a partner with the
same strength of love is
needed.
TAURUS April 20-May 2q
Taurus love is very stable
and practical. Taureans are
steady, patient and
affectionate even when they
are faced with trying
situations. This is not true,
however, if Taureans are
forced to change their values.
Then they become headstrong
and unyeilding. Without love
Taurus people may become
selfish, bored, and possesive.
GEMINI May 21-Jun 21
Gemini has often been
accused of being faithless in
love. However, in true love,
this is not the case. In love,
Gemini is dependable and very
loving. But Gemini does not
like to be tied down. Gemini’s
partner should realize that
even though love exists
between them; excitement,
travel, a career and other
things still interest Gemini.
Without love Geinini is an
unreliable wanderer.
CANCER June 22-July 22
Cancer love is deep,
generous and long lasting.
Once Cancers fall in love it
takes much to make them fall
out of love. Cancers have a
built in shell to protect them
against too much hurt. Once
this barrier is up and love dies.
Cancers become
oppurtunists-taking much and
giving very little.
LEO July 2.?-Aug.22
Leo is warm, affectionate
and loves to love as well as to
be loved. Love to Leo is a very
serious business and it is
granted to on whom Leo feels
is extremely special. Without
love Leo becomes the
complete opposite-cold and
domineering.
VIRGO Aug. 23-Sep. 22
Virgo love may be less
romantic, but it is deep and
longlasting. Virgo’s do not fall
onnaiy nito love, but make a
careful choice and then adds
fuel to the fire of love to keep
it burning forever. Loving
Virgos want to serve their
lovers in order to make them
feel happy and secure; but if
Virgos feel that they are being
used their services will end. An
unloving Virgo is very tense
and generally prefers to be
without any affection at all.
LIBRA Sep. 22-Oct. 2.?
Libra wishes love to be not
merely physical, but also
emotional and requires a very
receptive partner. Under these
circumstances the Librans give
love freely, knowing the
partner will return the love.
Libra is the most patient of all
signs and often wants the
partner to make the decisions.
SCORPIO Oct. 24-NOV.2I
Scorpio love is a complete
and total love. If a Scorpian
lover is not very affectionate,
he may feel smothered. An
unloving Scorpio is the
worst -demanding, indictive
and selfish.
SAGITTARIUS Nov.
22-Dec.2l
Love to Sagittatius is a
wonderful experience.
Sagittarians will not fall in love
all at once, it is a gradual
process. Once deeply in love,
Sagittarians seldom fall out of
love. The unloving Sagittarian
is self-centered and very
unreliable.
Mailbox
CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan.I8
Capricorn love is strong but
often without the frills and
charm that many people
prefer. Capricorns do not fall
in love easily. They may
appear to fight against falling
in love, but this is only their
protection against falling in
love with the wrong person.
AQUARIUS Jan 20-Feb.l8
Aquarian love is an
unpredictable love. Aquarians
must have very understanding
lovers, for such actions are
very annoying to those who
are not as changable. Without
love, Aquarions may become
promiscuous.
PISCES Feb.l0-Mar.20
Through Piscean eyes the
lover is perfect, no matter
what faults really exists.
Therefore, a Piscean lover
becomes what he or she wants
him to be. This could either be
a help or a hinderance,
depending on the lovers.

Dear Editor,
It is with frustration that
one looks at the “Bennett
ideal” and wonders...“What
does she want?” Often,
students complain, “There’s
nothing to do on campus,”
yet, very few girls actually
participate in campus events.
And, whenever one askes for
volunteers to work on certain
committees, there are barely
any volunteers...Oh, but it
must be easier to complain.

And the subject is love.
