Summer Intern
Program
The department of politi
cal science at UNC-G in con
junction with five other local
colleges and the city of
Greensboro is sponsoring a
Summer Internship Program.
The purpose of the program is
to permit students to learn
first hand about the realities
of government and politics in
the metropolis. Some interns
will work full-time for ad
ministrators of governmental
units serving Greensboro at
city, county and regional
levels. Others will work with
leaders of private agencies
and community organizations
involved in community af
fairs. Each intern will be
gu ded by a job supervisor and
a faculty advisor.
According to Professor
John Bing of our faculty,
“This program is the best
opportunity available for our
students to learn about local
government through partici
pation in the activities of lo
cal government. This has
been available to students in
Greensboro and it will hope
fully continue. The Summer
Internship Program is a truly
exciting break through in
learning opportunities for
Bennett students.
POET'S CORNER
“A Taste of Blackness”
—Vernadette Alexander
A Taste of Blackness
I was given a taste of
Blackness, and found it to be
the sweetest morsel I had
ever savored in my mouth. It
was vague at first I was re
luctant I had to chew to get
it’s bitter sweet essence it
melted, I swallowed it’s beau
ty into me. It coated my
throat and I was able to speak
beautiful words it coated my
stomach and my slain lowled
Black. It rushed through to
my brain and I . . . thought
Sharing everything you’ve
got with your brothers and
sisters in need makes you
alright black indeed.
Blessing
God bless Martin and
, God bless Wallace
But God
If you can’t bless
them both
Bless Martin
We’ll understand
I Died for Peace
My head is aching I’ve been
fighting many years, my mind
is paralyzed. My eyes are
blurred; I’ve been looking out
too long. My legs are limp;
I’ve been running rugged
runs and climbing mountain
tops. My heart has stopped;
they thought I needed a rest.
“Seclusion”
In my silent room at night,
alone in thought, the lamp
above my head, the shining
light upon the pages, turning
one by one; in my lonliness,
I found a friend who made
me laugh, and strong enough
to make me live: But why
are we dying to live when
we’re just living to die?
“Drums of Freedom”.
Some of us will die, but the
drums will beat. We may
even loose, but the drums
will beat. They will beat
loud! and strong! on and on
for we shall get what we
want, and the drums, will
beat on and on —
Right on!
