PAGE SIX THE BENNETT BANNER FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1980 Belles attend convention Darleen Brooks Five Bennett students attended the annual NCHEA Convention held in Fayetteville, N. C. These students were accompanied by Miss Swanda MacCormick, facul ty advisor to Omicron Eta Chi of the Bennett College Chapter. The group was well received by 400 people in the audience. The students who represented Bennett were Leila Mickens, Wynnetta Scott, Billye Davis, Darion An thony and Regina Pegram. Leila Mickens, Darion Anthony and Wynnetta Scott entered some of their art work into the exhibit. These students also consulted with high school juniors and sen iors who were interested in Home Economics. The students carried information from Bennett to hand out to these students. Another recent activity of the Home Economics students was a presentation on “Dressing For Suc cess,” done by the Senior Retail ing students. It was done on video tape to be shown to the Senior student teachers who went into the field. The students who par ticipated were Darleen Brooks, B’illye Davis, Robin Thornton, Wynnetta Scott, Regina Pagram, Leila Mickens and Darion An thony. The garments were fur nished by Casual Corners in the Four Seasons Mall, which is man aged by Renee Saunders, a cloth ing graduate from Bennett. Voting rules discussed Wanda Dick On the evening of Nov. 3 the Business Club sponsored Mrs. Sarah W. Herbin in a discussion on voting procedures. Mrs. Herbin, a 1936 graduate of Bennett College, serves a a chair person of the Guilford County Board of Elections. After her graduation from Bennett, Mrs. Herbin held several jobs here at Bennett, which included secretary for president Jones. As many of us now know the procedure of voting has changed from “pulling levers” to “punch ing holes” in voting, cards. In her discussion, Mrs. Herbin demonstrated the use of the new voting apparatus, entitled “The votamatic.” The most astonishing part of Mrs. Herbin’s discussion came from one of the students who brought out the fact that she and many other students at Bennett didn’t receive their absentee bal lots from their home state, so they were unable to vote. It was stated that “more than 50 stuednts in Player Hall alone were unable to vote because of this misunder standing about applying for an absentee ballot.” The information provided by Mrs. Herbin was of great impor tance to all those who attended this session. New additions feature sounds of success and beauty Lisa Harris Three new additions to North Carolina A&T State University’s Radio Station WNAA are Beverly Rumley, Josie Hudley and Lisa Harris. The Belles started the semester taking a Radio Production I course under the supervision of Gray Flanigan, operator and general manager of WNAA. A require ment of the course was to be part of one of two news teams. Since reporting the news twice a week, the three students have gotten into promo work, studio work and now production of radio programs. Beverly Rumley, a senior ISP major, with a concentration in Radio and Television Production is from Columbus, Georgia, has worked in the studio engineering programs and now anchors a show “Society in Focus.” This program deals with community issues. Bev erly’s first program dealt with Black Hair care and businesses and how they are being ripped off. Future programs will also deal with community issues facing the black community. Lisa Harris, a junior native of Long Island, N. Y. is an ISP ma jor concentrating in Photo jour nalism. Josie Hudley, also a jun ior, is from Charlotte, North Carolina and is also an ISP major with concentrations in Radio and Television Production and Drama. Together they make up the team of Harris & Hudley with their pro gram entitled Harris and Hudley: Bennett Women on the Move. This spot centers around Bennett stu dents who are active and show leadership qualities. Their first show featured Linda Anderson, vice-president of the Student Gov ernment Association here at Ben nett. The topic of discussion was the political arena and how it affects the black college student. Drayton injured Andrea Burch Belinda Drayton, setter on the volleyball team, was injured on Sept. 19 in Charlotte at the Queens College game. “I played earlier in the game and had fallen on my knees for the ball. After I came out of the shower my knee locked on me,” Drayton said. Drayton was brought back to Bennett and the next morning taken to Cone Hospital for obser vation. “The doctor at the hospital told me I had damaged a bone in my left knee,” she said. Later Drayton was examined by Dr. James Maultsby, an ortho pedic surgeon who specializes in athletic injuries. The physician informed Drayton she would have to have Arthroscope surgery on her knee during Thanksgiving holiday. “When the operation is performed there will be four small incisions made into my knee and the damaged tissues will be re paired or removed. If this opera tion is not successful I will have to have another operation during Christmas vacation where they would make incisions in the knee and reset my kneecap,” Drayton explained. Drayton is unsure about how soon she will return to Bennett after the operation. She said, “After the operation, if I am able, I would like to return to Bennett but it may not be until the week before finals or the week of finals. It is a hard decision to make, whether to come back and finish first semester or just come back second semester.” The 18-year-old scorpian is one of three freshmen on the volley ball team with a scholarship. Al though Drayton is unable to play, she will still receive the scholar ship from Bennett. WHY WE NEED BLACK SCHOOLS! Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., XI Chapter Sponsors an Essay Contest RULES: 1.

Tina Ruth Jones, president of the Scholars, presided. Mrs. Mary Scarlette, represent ing the 50’s, gave the scripture. Mrs. Thelma Spruill Robinson, of the 70’s, sang a solo accompanied by Dr. Charlotte Alston, of the 50’s, who also introduced the speaker. Bennett Scholars Pauline Nzeribe and Terri Phillips gave the corporate reading and program introduction, respectively. Mrs. Coley emphasized her message by reciting lines of an old song by Gladys Knight and the Pips. “Try to remember the times of September when life was slow and oh so mellow. Try to remember and if you remember, then follow,” she began. From that point, she recalled her experiences at Bennett including detailed en counters with President David Dallas Jones, “Ma Mac,” Chief Rogers and Dr. Flemmie Kittrell, as well as the religious undertones of the college atmosphere evident in srvices held in the Carrie Barge chapel. She inserted Browning’s “A man’s reach should but extend his grasp, or what’s a heaven for?” and ended with the song, “If we had the chance to do it all over again, tell me, would we? Could we?” and answered for her self, a definite yes. Mrs. Coley was presented with a bouquet of flowers and the program con cluded with the audience singing the Alma Mater. At the opening and close of the program, Bennett Scholars in white dresses, black shoes and gold pins were escorted by members of the Marshal Board. The mem bers of the Bennett Scholars’ Pro gram are Tina Jones, president; Wanda Dick, vice-president; Wan da Hawkins, secretary; Tonni Sul livan, treasurer; Linda Anderson, Cynthia Asbury, Beverly Bell, Marchelle Boatwright, Olivia Dab ney, Selina Fox, Myra George, Juanita Harris, Sharon Horton, Lisa Johnson, Sandra Jones, Debra T. Moore, Rose Nelson, Pauline Nzeribe, Wanda Parker, Terri Phillips, Grace Usoro, Vickie Walker and Dawn Wilson. According to Terri Phillips, “The Bennett Scholar is a special person—a highly motivated indi vidual who is not afraid to be different.” She continued that, “to be eligible for consideration as a Bennett Scholar, a student must have an average of 3.2 during the second semester of her freshman year.” Beyond the 3.2 average requirement, other factors are de sired such as general intellectual ability, attitude toward academic achievement and overall emotion al stability and maturity, she said. These qualities are considered when applicants are viewed for the program. On the following evening, the Bennett Scholars held their recep tion/workshop at the Western Sizzlin’ restaurant. The program advisors. Dr. Charlotte Alston and Mrs. Anne Gillespie, as well as individual faculty advisors for each member, accompanied them. Also in attendance was Dr. and Mrs. George Breathett, Dean Chelsea Tipton and President and Mrs. Isaac H. Miller, Jr. The ses sion provided time to re-evaluate the goals, strengths and weak nesses of the program.
