Dear Sisters,
As the year draws quickly to a
close, I feel that it is most
appropriate to reflect upon the
happenings of the 97-98 school
year.
The SGA Executive Board
and I have worked very hard to
make sure that Bennett's name
would be held in high esteem
and to make sure your rights are
being protected.
Next year I have the opportu
nity to serve you once more as
SGA president It is my hope
that I will see an increased
student participation and morale
as the SGA works hard to make
sure that your needs are met. We
can only do that with your help.
The more you participate in
activities, the more activities we
can have. Nubian Nuance Week
was an example of just how
exciting the Bennett College
campus can be but, that takes
lots of hard work. When you
reflect on this year, remember
its successes including "The
Million Women March," "The
March for Social Justice," a
successful Nubian Nuance, and
the list goes on.
To the graduating seniors, my
luck to you in the your future
endeavors.
To the rising seniors: Let's'
finish our remaining time here at
Bennett with a bang.
To all returning BeDes: Be
motivated.
Let's look forward to an
exciting year.
Tennille Francis,
SGA President

to
(NAPS)—^Imagine working and
not getting paid for your efforts.
That’s the fate faced by
songwriters and music publishers
if a new bill is passed in Congress.
If this new bill, H.R. 789, is
passed, restaurants, bars, taverns
and other establishments will have
the right to use music for free.
According to Marilyn Bergman,
writer of such standards as “The
Way We Were” and “You Don’t
Bring Me Flowers,” and chair of
the songwriters organization
known as ASCAP, “Performing
rights is the largest single source
of income for songwriters and
music publishers, andenables them
to feed their families, pay their
bills, and run their businesses.”
This bill follows on the heels of
several state bills which have al
ready been introduced, that will
make it impossible to enforce the
federal laws against the illegal use
of music. These same establish
ments want to use music for free.
Groups of songwriters, compos
ers and music publishers have al
ready met with many members of
Congress to explain the point of
view. More needs to be done to
stop H.R. 789. Anyone may con
tact Congress on this or any other
issue by calling your
Congressj)erson’s or Senator’s lo
cal office. You may also call the
Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-
3121 to getyourCongressperson’s
number in Washington, D.C.
