Twenty-four Bennett stu
dents participated in a new pro
gram called Project SafetyNet
Oct. 13, at New York Univrrsity
Project SafetyNet is apart
of the 1993 National Community
Service Trust Act. These programs
are under a community service or
ganization called Americorps.

Second annual
"Local Media Days"
program held
Jenee Hulin
Banner Reporter
For the second time in as many
years, local media professionals
visited the mass communications
classes for the “Local Media Days”
event Sept. 28-29.
According to Dr. Lenora
Brogdon-Wyatt, chair of Mass
Communications, Speech, and
Theatre, the event consists of two
days Department during which
students meet media profession
als and are informed of summer
internships, while experiencing
the advantage of one on one con
tact. In addition, the profession
als are given the chance to ob
serve the capabilities of future me
dia practitioners.
The event this year exposed
students to different areas of me
dia jobs ranging from voice coach
ing to broadcast community af
fairs managing.
Among the professionals at
tending were: Shirley Frye, Com-
munity Affairs Manager for
WFMY, andBarbaraL.Hamm,a
1978 graduate of Bennett College
and news director from Norfolk.
Hamm was also the featured
speaker of the SepL 29 ACES.
“1 thought it was great,” said
Antoinette Rochelle, a senior Psy
chology major from Washington.
“Barbara Hamm gave much in
sight into what it takes to succeed.
1 enjoyed the ACES program.”
Tamu Johnson, a sophomore
Mass Communications major
from Houston, said, “I thought
Local Media Days was informa
tive. It brought up jobs that 1
didn’t know about.”
Dr. Brogdon-Wyatt was
also satisfied with the outcome.
"It was a successful Lo
cal Media Days. I am also glad
it was extended to the college as a
whole,” Brogdon-Wyatt said.
Americorps is nationwide
and assists students with monetary
in completion of their college edu
cation. The students were chosen
based on thier background and past
experiences.
Riley Kline, field coordinator
for social work and director of Out
reach Services, and Cynthia PuUiam,
director of the Challenge of Oppor
tunity Program accompanied the stu
dents on their trip.
The students from Bennett, Ri
chard Stockton College, New York
University, Morehouse College,
Johnson C. Smith University, and
Manhattan College gathered at
New York University’s Tishman
Auditorium in Vanderbilt Hall to
discuss the planning of commu
nity activities.
The seminar, conducted
by NYU faculty offered training in
areas such as conflict manage
ment, active listening, and para
phrasing.
At the conference, students
p'oceeded to the Loeb Student Cen
ter for a Convocation in which they
marched in by schools.
On the final day of the
conference, student members of
Project SafetyNet participated in
their very first hands-on commu
nity service activity.
Members painted various
grafitti- infested parking lot walls,
telephone booths, fences, and poles.
“I was very impressed with the
Bennett student’s work ethic,” Kline
said.
‘They were willing to complete
all assigned tasks without any nega
tive feedback whatsoever," he
added.
“I learned that it is very im
portant to be a volunteer be
cause you can make a difference
insomeone’slife without profit,”
Jenora Turner, Los Angeles, jun
ior said. “And that is what makes
volunteering special.”

Electromagnetics Research — the Career of the 21st Century
Over the past twenty years, a revolution has occurred in eleclronics, resulting in the
proliferation of telephones, facsimile machines, networked computers, automatic teller
machines, and cable television services. The next twenty years will see a similar
revolution in elecU-omagnetics leading to "networks without connections". New
developments in electromagnetic maienals and systems will find applications in intelligent
vehicles and highways, telemedicine, portable personal communication and entertamment.
as well as networks with very high bandwiddis.
Other developing areas in electfomagnetics include the use of electromagnetic

If you are an undergraduate electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, physics,
or mathematics major, you have a chance to be ahead of your time. A career in
electromagnetics will put you in a position to be on the leading edge of the profession.
Center for Electromagnetics Research at Northeastern University
The Center for ElecU-omagnetics Research (CER) provides an opportunity for qualified
graduate students to perform research with faculty who are recognized leaders m these
areas.
Academic studies in the departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Physics, Mechanical or Industrial Engineering, is complemented by research work closely
related to the course work and to the research interests of the Center's sponsors. The
diversity of these sponsors, includbg contractors working for these agencies, ensures a
nch and varied field of research. With more than 20 universities, the concenU'ation of
faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and the Boston locaUon at the hub of Route
128, "America's Technology ILghway", working in elecU-omagnetics at the CER provides
a vibrant and exciting academic community in which to work and study.
Advantages of University-Industry Collaboration
The Center for Electromagnetics Research has a linuted number of p>ositions available for
qualified graduate students under the Technology ReinvesUnent Program. The students
will receive stipends and tuition waivers to complete the MS program in Engineering at
Northeastem University, and summer salary from M/A-COM to apply their research to
intelligent highways, communication systems, and other areas.
The major research of the Center is in
the followmg four general areas;
Radar Signal Processmg
Electro-Oplics
Plasmas and Materials
Computational Analysis for EM
Applications
Underground Remote Sensing
Courses m support of these areas
include;
Plasma Theory and Engineering
Lasers
Acoustics
