FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1980 THE BENNETT BANNER PAGE THREE Rovegno is active In class and out Veronica McKinney She is highly motivated and full of energy as she meets her de mands and participates with total enthusiasm. Not only is she in volved in the classroom but she’s involved in the outside activities as well. Wondering who? Miss Inez Rovegno. Rovegno, the instructor of physical education and director of intramurals, is originally from White Plains, N. Y. She was grad uated from Springfield College in Springfield, Mass., and received her Master’s at TJNC-G and is also working on continuing her education. Rovegno was inspired to teach at Bennett because she wanted a teaching job instead of an admin istrative position. She stated, “I’m very excited about teaching at Bennett. I like the small college atmosphere, the way people know each other, and everyone seems to be very friendly. The students seem to be quite proud of their college.” This semester Miss Rovegno teaches gymnastics, swimming, badminton, physical education for elementary school children and recreational games. She is busily involved in the P. E. department and intramurals. She said, “I hope that the gjrls are willing to give the intramurals a try and to participate in one activity or the other because there’s a variety to choose from. I also hope the girls will give suggestions for other activities.” Rovegno’s main goal is to teach the skills and theory courses not only help in the classroom but be come more involved outside the classroom. To relax from her busy sched ule Rovegno enjoys sewing, nee- dlecraft, making quilts, and mac- rame, which is her main hobby. Rovegno feels that the involve ment on campus is very important to a college student’s education. “I believe you should also enjoy what you’re doing to the best of your ability.” This is the philoso phy Miss Rovegno lives by. As the director of the Women’s Recreation Association, Rovegno started “a get-yourself-in-shape escape” for the Bennett Belles. Students meet in the Goode Gym every Tuesday. The activi ties involves: diet and weight control from 6:30-7:00 p.m.; workout from 7:30-8:00 p.m.; swimming from 7:30-9:00 p.m. Swimming is also from 12-1 p.m. Monday thru Friday. Workouts for faculty, staff, and students are from 5-6 p.m. In an interview with some of the participants after the exercis ing program, one student stated, “I think this is a wonderful idea, we need to get in shape and stay in shape.” Another student added, “Miss Rovegno is one of the best things that ever happened to Bennett.” God's gift explained (Continued from Page 1) that come before us because there is power in faith. Jesus died on the cross to make us free and enable us to receive that power through His name. There is no situa tion that can come up in our lives that Jesus didn’t suffer for on the cross. “Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities : the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and by His stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:4-5). He paid the debt that we owed because He loved us. That love passes all of the natural understanding that we are endowed with. If you don’t know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior today, I admonish you to accept Him. Don’t wait and say, “Well, I’m young, I can alwa,ys serve God when I get old.” My friend, you may not live to get old, so why not make that decision today? That power through faith is yours if you want it. God will not force anything on you concerning worshipping Him because He gives you a choice of whether or not to serve Him. “No servant can serve two masters: for he will hate one, and serve the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye can not serve God and mammon” (Luke 16:13). God is able to give you so much if you are willing to abide in His way and strive to be perfect in His love. He loves you, just as you wait in line to obtain the things that you want, He waits patiently in line to love and care for you. He waits patiently to commune with you while you turn a deaf ear. He waits patiently all of the time in the lines of your life, longing to soothe your aching soul and bring the stillness of peace to your life. He loves you. Miss Inez Rovegno has started off the year with various innovations, such as the diet and exercise program. She has already proven herself to be an exciting addition to the college. (Photo by Shelly Coston) Randy Crawford sings of loves lost and found Karen M. Heck “Now We May Begin” is the perfect title for sultry singer Randy Crawford. Crawford lets the public know that she is ready for a full-fledged rendezvous. Crawford, who was formerly introduced by the jazz greats the Crusaders, was the main reason for the hit album, ‘‘Street Life’’ (MCA Records). Crawford starts this album with a jazzy dance tune called “Last Night at Danceland,” which describes the last date of a romantic love affair. Though she is heartbroken, Crawford is determined to have a good time and even compares her situation to the breakup of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. “My Heart Is Not as Young as It Used to Be” is an other love song, which warns a returning lover that she is no longer a young gulli ble girl. This song is accented by trumpet soloist Oscar Brashear. The title cut talks of bad beginnings and the high cost of starting over. She realizes that the road is long, but she knows she can do it. Other good songs on the LP are “Same Old Story (Same Old Song)” and “Blue Flame.” Both song tunes are a cross between disco, rhy thm and blues, and jazz. Her singing is like her per sonality; she refuses to hold back. Most of the songs on the al bum talk about lost loves. Songwriter Joe Sample must have felt that Crawford had just the voice to make a sad love song worth listening. His judgement was right. The Crusaders have un leashed a gem. Miss Randy Crawford is truly on her way to becoming a star in her ovra right. Hinderas performs Andrea Burch Natalie Hinderas, an interna tionally acclaimed concert pianist, performed at the opening convo cation Sept. 25. Instead of turning to soul, rock or disco, Hinderas is a concert pianist. She has worked on her talent since the age of eight years old and says she enjoys her music. Black audiences are a great con cern of Hinderas’s, who feels there should be more support from the black community. She encourages blacks to attend symphonies and enjoy different kinds of music. Hinderas advises other musi cians interested in becoming con cert pianists to work hard, have the nerve to perform for people who will critically evaluate their work, and have the desire to please their audience. Deltas express thanks for support On Saturday, Sept. 6, 1980, the members of the Zeta Omicron Chapter of Delta Sigma 'Theta Sorority Inc. sponsored a car wash as a fund raising activity. Mem bers of the Sorority, who say the car wash was a complete success, would like to thank everyone who participated and supported them. The Zeta Omicron Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. sponsored their annual Blood Mobile on Sept, 24, 1980. The Blood Mobile was held in the college’s David D. Jones Stu dent Union between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3:15 p.m. The blood received during the blood drive will be donated to the American Red Cross Blood Services Donated blood enabled each donor or any member of his/her immediate family to receive blood at any time. The Zeta Omicron Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. would like to thank everyone who participated in making our 1980 blood mobile a success. CORRECTIONS In the last issue it was in correctly stated that 'Theresa Roy was a volleyball scholar ship recipient. A headline in the last issue mistakenly read that Karen Dixon was the first Bennett student to receive an ROTC scholarship. It should have said that Dixon was the first to re ceive an Army ROTC scholar ship, since Robyn Dessaure re ceived an Air Force ROTC scholarship at the same time that Dixon was awarded hers. Claire answers troubled students Dear Claire: My boyfriend goes to college in another state and so we don’t get to see much of each other. You see, I left home (and him) to come to Bennett. It seems that the fact that we’re apart is coming between us. He feels that I’ve abandoned him and I have begun to get sus picious of what he’s doing at home. I love him a lot, but I don’t know if our relationship can stand the years we have to be apart. Should I think about transferring to his school ? UNCERTAIN Dear Uncertain: Leaving someone behind that you care a great deal for is not an easy task. I think you should reassure your boyfriend that you love him as much when you are separated as when you are together. It’s only natural for you to be suspi cious about what he is doing, but don’t let your suspicions cause you to make false accu sations. I don’t recommend transferring to his school to be with him, because you could begin to neglect your studies and concentrate more on your social life. Dear Claire: I’m from Washington (the state), 21, and a mother. My daughter is three years old and lives in Washington with my parents. It seems as if ever since I got pregnant without being mar ried, my life has been in chaos. I’m a junior here and my parents feel that I should not be in college. They think I should come back to Wash ington and start making a life for my daughter and myself. I really want to finish school at Bennett, but I feel pres sured. Please help me. DESPERATE Dear Desperate: If you want to finish school that’s a very wise choice. You have come quite far to stop now. When you graduate you can go back to Washington and be with your daughter to start a new life. Do not make any hasty decisions because you feel pressured by others, bo what you feel is best for the welfare of you and your daughter. Dear Claire: Sometimes I feel so bored and uninvolved. Could you tell me of some campus organizations and clubs that I could be a part of? I’m not very smart, so it can’t be any honor clubs. I’m a freshman and I really don’t know much about what’s going on. LONELY Dear Lonely: What you are feeling is natural, because .you are new' at this school and it takes a while to become in volved. Some campus organ izations you may be inter ested in are the Marshall Board, NAACP, Pre Alumni Council, Business Club, the College Choir, and various other clubs and organizations. Once you become an active member you should begin to feel more at ease and more a part of the campus environment. Dear Claire: My roommate has a problem which is mak ing our friendship fall apart. She has morning classes, but mine don’t start until after lunch. The problem is that she gets up in the morning and turns on the light, puts up the blinds, slams the doors and drawers. She wakes me up and I can never get back to sleep again. If I had morning classes, I would try to be more considerate. She could put on the lamp instead of the light, couldn’t she? How do I get her to be more under standing? SLEEPLESS Dear Sleepless: First of all you should inform your room mate that she disturbs you in the morning. Politely ask her if she would be a little quiet er, and if she would use the desk lamp, instead of the top light because it bothers you when you’re trying to sleep. Perhaps your roommate isn’t aware that she disturbs you, and you should let her know now before the relationship is destroyed. The Banner Staff will meet at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 7 in the staff room in Pfeiffer Hall
