Chairman of the A. & T.
State University Music De
partment.
The Brahm’s work was se
lected because the composer
addressed himself primarily
to the living and to the future
instead of the usual requiems
which symbolized death and
the past.
“The Braham’s Requiem is
a. pleasing musical work and
is befitting to a centennial
celebration which is being
witnessed by Bennett College
this year,” Mrs. Crawford ad
ded.

and 50-piece orchestra was
composed of students, faculty,
and staff from Bennett, A. &

A Word of Thanks
The Election Procedures
Committee and the Co-Cur
ricula office would like to
compliment the student body
on the recent campus election,
on their campaign and espec
ially the signs. We vvere very
pleased with the signs and we
felt that we had many good
people running for offices. Al
though we know everyone
could not be elected we hope
that those students not elect
ed will continue to work with
the elected leaders in trying
to make Bennett that much
better.
We would like to thank
those students who volunteer
ed their time to work on the
polls. The polls were open
until about 6:20 p.m. Special
thanks go to Elise Bailey and
Venessa Higgins who worked
even more hours than they
had volunteered for. Also we
would like to thank Miss M.
O. Tucker, without her aid
particularly in. the area of
typing, we would not have
succeeded.
We would like to end with
a word of advice to the cam
pus — you’ve picked your
leaders, but they cannot
function without your help.
