THOMAS Sports The Bennett College sports fans and sports teams recently got help in the cheering department. Bennett's first mascot, Kellie Anderson, was selected Oct. 5. Anderson, a sophomore unde cided major from Washington, DC, was chosen because of her ability to hype up the crowd during the volleybelles' pep rallies. As mas cot, Anderson says that her role includes "attending games, acting a fool most of the time, and I do have fun." Because the position is new, the uniform or costume has not been selected. "Now I only have a T- shirt, but president Scott wants me to wear blue leotards and a bell skirt," Anderson said. "It's one of those old time skirts that flares out and, when I move it, it rings. Other people want me to wear a big bell with my head out." Anderson said that she does not want to wear either of those out fits. She said that she wants to make up her own. "The Belle mascot, to me, is a lady carrying an umbrella, hat, glovesetc. So that’s whatl wantto wear." Anderson said that she will wear what the student body want her to wear. A student opinion poll to de cide the costiune for the new Belle mascot will be taken in the cafete ria during lunch and dinner Nov. 18. The return of the natural BY DEANNA HARRIS Staff Reporter Madame C. J. Walker became a millionaire in 1905 after she developed a formula that made kinky hair straight For the next 50 years, women wore their hair straight with the use of her product. By the late 1960's to 70's, women throughout the country were wearing their hair without the use of chemical straighteners. By the 1980's women began to wear their hair straight again. Today some 30 Bennett Belles wear their hair in the natural styles reminiscent of years gone by. Zenya Cleveland, a sophomore psychology majorfrom New York, is one of the those Provost Bennett Belles who has made the decision to wear her hair without the use of chemical straighteners. “Just coming to college I was exposed to different things,” Zenya Wm ■ M Shemeika McClain, a freshwoman biology major from Baltimore wears her natural hair in cornrows.

When I got here I noticed all the people I looked up to all had natural hair." Brandy Jones, a junior English major from Wilmington Del. has been wearing her natural for seven years now. “ I didn’t want to con tinue to chemically relax my hair because you never know what chemicals are used in a perm. I have nothing against girls who perm their hair,” Brandy said. "It was just a per sonal decision.” The students who do not use chemical straightener wear a variety of popular hairstyles including twists (twisted strands of hair) braids, dreadlocks, and fades (closely cropped style, with the back very short).
