By Cinzia Atkinson
Sports Editor
The Bennett College
basketball team clinched its
first victory of the season
against Johnson Bible Col
lege. With heads up defen
sive skills 6*010 junior Nikki
Berryman and freshman
Letitia JoUy, the Belles were
too hot to handle.
The Belles, coming in
at 0-7, maintained the lead
throughout the first half con
verting on several open court
layups and received tremen
dous outside shooting firom
Letitia Jolly and Dain
Magodo.
The second half, how
ever, was a different stoiy.
The Lady Evangels converted
on their first eight attempts
and held the Belles scoreless
for the first two minutes. But
defense wins games and the
Belles never let up defen
sively.
Freshwoman point
guard, Letitia JoUy said in a
pre game interview, “If we
play good defense, the ofien se
will fall in place.”
And that was the
turnout of the game.
The Lady Evangels
came in within one with 21
seconds remaining but the
BeUes defensive play held off
Johnson Bible CoUege to give
them their first victory of the
season.
Three Belles scored in
double figures: Nikki
Berryman with 18, Dain
Magodo with 14, and Letitia
JoUy with 17.
Coach Joyce Spruill
said, “The victory was sweet,
I hope we keep it up.”

Karamu festival celebrated
By Kim Hall
Banner Editor
Rich African cviisine,
prophetic storytelling, exotic
visual arts and a combina
tion of African dancers and
singers are just a few of the
many activities that took
place in the K^amu festival,
held downtown in the Greens
boro Cultural Arts Center,
Feb. 18.
Karamu in Swahili
means “celebration,” and that
is exactly what it was.
“Their is a lot of culturalism
as far as Afiican cuisine and
art work here which inspires
me,” said Yolanda Konsey, a
senior commercial arts ma
jor.
Angela Fields, also a
senior commercial arts m^jor
added another perspective, “I
thought it would be an educa
tional experience, also as an
African American, Afiicans
inspire me because they help
me reach back into my ances
try.”
The evening exploded
with Afiican culture and re
finement at its best. A com
fortable crowd attended, some
even dressing in African garb.
Professional artist,
Leo Rucker was onhand dis
playing and discussing his
art work. He said that he
feels that festivals such as
this, “gives people the oppor
tunity to see that art is an
important part of culture. It
teUs you about history.”
Live entertainment
was also featured, which
showcased the talents of NC
A&T Eleanor Gwynn danc
ers, capeUa:quintet^^“DeS',
tiny,” We Are One Youth
Choir, and Memory of Afri
can Cvilture, an African en
semble dance troupe.
Food £ind drink were
plentiful, ranging from gin
ger beer to African beef stew,
aU provided by various cater
ers.
But if you missed the
celebration, no need to worry.
According to Marion Whitt of
the United Arts CoimcU, it is
a very good possibility that
Karamu wiU be planned for
next year.
“Karamu is,a signifi-,-
cant celebration because it
pays tribute to African cul
ture, ‘said. Dr. Alma Adams,
art professor and founder of
the Afiican American AtiUer.
“It’s an opportimity
for us (African Americans) to
learn, as weU as the commu
nity to leam something as
weU,” Adams added.
