dent body, Monday, February
15.
Mr. Stafford, a graduate of
Dudley High School. A&T Col
lege and the University of
Pittsburgh, is an electronics
test planning engineer, and an
active member in a number of
community organizations.
He gave a brief sketch of
Greensboro's history. |He be
lieves that “it is now time to
build within.” He said that we
must find new approaches to
old problems. “True represen

He explained that his inter

couraged to move forward.”

a problem and there is a need
for the availability of more

lowest ebb. This is caused by
the need for the Negro vote

al facilities based on popula
tion.
3. To seek solutions to the
slum problem.
4. To investigate practices of
hiring.

flexible as far as taxing is con
cerned.
7. Support the downtown re
development.
8. To help in the area of
safety.
9. To make himself available
to the people.
10. To promote and encour
age voter registration.
Attendance Report
The attendance report which
was drawn up this summer by
student members of the Ben
nett College Summer Staff was
recently reviewed and approved
with additions by the faculty.
The report was distributed to
the student body. One special
addition was the procedure for
reading or study periods. This
states that reading or study pe
riods shall be made available
for all students, regardless of
classification, during the final
two hour meting times of the
course beginning with the
second semester 1965.
Some clarification, was the
extent to which many of the
proposals were adopted. Many
procedures were in existence
but not written as such.
The statement is effective
this semester.

Featured in Concert
The Antioch Quartet concert
was held February 5 in the
Pfeiffer Chapel. The four ar
tists were Myron Kartman, Al-
mita-Hyman Vamos, Wallace
Ruskin and Roland Vamos.
An interview with the group
disclosed the fact that they are
a touring quartet sponsored by
Antioch College in Yellow
Springs, Ohio, where these four
aritsts are instructors in music.
This plan was sponsored by the
college as a learning experience
for both the instructor and the
individuals for whom they
play.
After leaving Bennett the
quartet will play at some forty
other colleges and high schools.
The group was asked why
they felt tliat this tour is a
good idea. The answer was
that they wish to play music for
groups of students who would
otherwise not have been able
to hear the particular type ot
music.
