VoUeybelle season ends with
poor record
The Volleybelles' talent and
long-hour dedication to practice
couldn’t pull a very productive
season this year. The team ended
its 1998-99 season with an
embarrassing 4-18 record. When
they travelled to Salem College
to play in a tournament Oct. 23
and 24, they won six matches,
but lost to all six of the teams
which included Peace College,
Meredith, Chowan and Salem.
"The talent was th^e, we were
good...we just didn’t win,” said
power-hitter No. 12, Michelle
Simpson, a freshwoman psychol
ogy major from Houston.
Softball season now?....
Yes. That’s right softball in
November. This year the
softball team is starting early.
This year the team contracts are
under way. Coach Jerry
Patterson at 370-8631, has
information about the softball
tryouts.
Ladybelles will begin their
season away from home....
The members of the
Ladybelles Basketball team
prepared for their first game
Nov. 20 in Charlottesville, Va. at
a Hollins invitation to play. This
year's team consists of five new
Belles, and five returning
Belles. “I think we’re a strong
team, the skill is there... [we] just
need to get the plays down
packed,” said Yolanda James, a
5’6" and a half junior, psychol
ogy major from Prince George,
Va.
Cross country team finishes in
fifth place....
The cross country team
finished its season in fifth
place in the Mason Dixon
Conference meet at Mary
Washington College in
Fredericksburg, Va. The top
five finishers for Bennett were
Kiyona Brewster, a sophomore
psychology major from Harris
burg, Pa. came in 41st at 24:52;
Melody Caldwell, a freshwoman
biology major from Newark,
came in 44th place with 28:37;
Janel Glaspie, a freshwoman
biology major from Maryland,
45th 29:49; Karen Wynne, a
freshwoman social work major
from New York 46th at 30:04
and Tiana Curry, a freshwoman
biology major from New Jersey
who came in 47th place at 30:06.

lack of family housing.
Program participant, LaShainna
Campbell, has a 4-year-old son
and is a freshwoman mass com
munications major from Philadel
phia. "1 know I’m here by a bless
ing because I’ve heard of stories of
girls who come down here and
have to go back home because
housing isn’t always available,"
Campbell said.
Not all the current participants
have said that they have had posi
tive experiences. Aisha Hart, a
sophomore and mother of a 2-year-
old boy and 5-year-old boy said
she had a horrid experience while
she was in the Challenge Opportu
nity Program.
“1 was accepted into the pro
gram when things weren’t going
so well," Hart said. "Funds had
allegedly been spent,” said Hart, a
mass communications major also
from Philadelphia.
Hart said she did not receive a
stipend, child care assistance, or
housing. She said that she and her
children resided in the Alumnae
House until she used her own
money to pay for housing off
campus. Hart said she survives
financially by working two off-
campus jobs in addition to support
from her work study salary and
assistance from her family.
"Under Foster’s direction I re
ally hope to see improvement,"
Hart said. "It takes beyond book
knowledge in areas of single par
ent counseling and support ser
vices. It needs to come from the
heart and can only come from life
experience.”
Cheryl Chesmut, a freshwoman
mass communications major from
Jamaica Queens, said she has posi
tive feelings about her experience
as a participant of the program.
"I thank Bennett for offering the
opportunity for me to go to school
ahd rear my child. The programs
that Bennett offers helped me to
make it this far.” Chesmut has one
daughter.
Foster said she is expecting
many changes and improvements
for the program. Property has al
ready been identified for the site of
the future Challenge Opportunity
Program complex — a 24-housing
unit with office space tor program
teachers, teacher aides, interns, and
conference rooms.

is based on 11 categories: Food
sources; Food Protection; Person
nel; Equipment and Utensils; Wa
ter Supply; Lavatory and Toilet
Facilities; Waste Disposal; Ani
mals and Pest Control; Floors,
Walls and Ceilings; Lighting and
Ventilation; and Other. Inspec
tors report violations of these areas
by deduction points.
Deductions can range from 5
points to .5 point.
"[During an inspection] We
looked at everything - the dining
hall, dish room, and kitchen," said
Ty Singer, supervisor of the Food
Lodging and Institutional Division
of the Health Department Singer
said that everything was carefully
inspected, including kitchen equip
ment and the employees them
selves. “Sick employees are a
health hazard for cafeteria visi
tors,” he said.
According the November in
spection report, four categories
were given deductions— FoodPro-
tection; Equipment and Utensils;
Floors, Walls and Ceilings; Light
ing and Ventilation. The majority
of these deductions were .5 point.
In the August inspection re
port, the same four categories re
ceived deductions; however. Waste

Stella Lee, the new web site
manager at Bennett, has an office
in Catchings. She said she sees
students waiting in the lines for a
computer to become available. Lee
suggests that time limits on the
computers might help. "A work-
study student could be used to
monitor the sign-in sheet. Then
students would have an equal times
for computer usage," Lee said.
To combat the "Chat Room
Hoggers" - students who chat to
others in cyberspace for hours Lee
suggests that chatting could be lim
ited to weekends only.
Another solution to computing
problem requires students not to
download programs from the
Internet or install their personal
software. Many of these programs
introduce viruses to the system and
cause the computers to malfunc
tion.
Disposal also received deductions
because garbage cans were not
properly maintained. “Our real
mission is one of preventive mea
sures,” Singer said. “An inspector
looks at everything, trying to pre
vent the spread of infectious dis
ease borne by food, air and water.”
William Correll, Marriott Food
Services director, declined to com
ment about the inspection.
Bennett's dining hall areas are
inspected quarterly, and the in
spection reportts are available to
the public in the Environmental
Health Division of the Guilford
County Health Department

U.S. Secretary of Education Ri
chard Riley and other officials from
various education communities will
share information about how their
institutions are preparing their
systems. Experts say the "Y2K"
will threaten computer applications
such as data processing [a two-
digit year instead of a four-digit
year], a danger that could cause
computers not to recognize the
change of the new century.
