By Deanna Harris

The end of the spring semes
ter signals a busy time for both
residents and the seven residence
halls at Bennett
Students finish their finals.
Tliey pack and load their belong
ings into cars and vans. And, they
evacuate the dormitories and head
home to enjoy their summer vaca
tion.
Once Jones, Barge, Pfeiffer,
Player, Reynolds, Memer, and
Cone are vacated by students, the
Bennett College maintenance de
partment has a small window of
time in which to prepare the
dormitories before a variety of
summer activities on campus be
gins.
Some of the summer activities,
include the six-week summer
school program, the Freshwomen
Summer Institut and NASA.
“ During the summer, the dorms
go through plastering, plumbing,
painting, and anything else that is
needed,”said Andrena Coleman,
director of institutional research
planning and budgeting.
The facelift process involves the
repairs of the inside and outside of
dorms as well as the dorm furni
ture. Broken door handles, broked
window screens, and sofas in the
parlor will be replaced or fixed.
Another part of the dorm refur
bishing includes pest control.
"One of the biggest projects is
a major extermination process that
Bennett goes through every sum
mer," Coleman said.
Coleman also said that the ex
termination process should take
care of any kind of pest problems
such as rodents or insects.

By Amber Lugo

A minister and 1980 Bennett
alumanae was the guest speaker at
the annual Alumnae Vesper Ser
vice, April 19 in the Annie Memer
Pffeifer Chapel.
During her speech, the Rev.
Natalie V. McLean discussed the
story of Esther from the Bible and
challenged the audience to live like
her. “God was present at every
thing,” McLean said. "Esther gave
herself completely to serve her
master to the limit."
Rev. McLean also said that
Bennett Belles should also have
strong character, obedience,
prayer, and a strong trust in God.
"The audience was over
whelmed by her strong voice and
sincerity in what she said," said
Rashida Miller, afreshwoman psy
chology major from East Spencer,
N.C.
Candie Hines, a sophomore food
and nutrition major from
Fayetteville, said that McLean's
words were powerful and her mes
sage was very inspirational.
The next ACES is scheduled to
take place April 30 in the Chapel.
