By JACKIE GRANT
Are you concerned? -- about
the lu^enings on your campus;
in your surrounding community?
H you are, join us. We, the Stu
dents for Christian Social Con.
cerns are deeply concerned with
the hs^ipenings in and out of the
church community, not only on
Sunday but also on Monday, Tues-
day
The purposes of the S. C. S.
C, are (1) to provide a medium
of exchange between the campus
and the community at large, (2)
to facilitate the means by which
students may improve the com-
munication of and provide ser-
vice to the immediate campus
community, (3) to deepen, en-
rich, and nurture the Christian
faith of the college community
througii commitment to Jesus
Christ and his church, (4) to give
an outlet to students who feel
that there is not enou^ facili
ties on campus for Christian
expression, (5) to give students
the opportunity to help in solv
ing social problems of our times.
(6) to encourage students to take
part in the churches of the com
munity, thus creating com
munication between the campus
and surrounding community.
This year, we are engaging
in many projects. One of the
tasks that we have already as
sumed is working at L. Rich
ardson Memorial Hospital. Stu
dents go to the hospital on Sun
day morning and help in taking
Book Review
patients to the chapel so that they
may have the advantage of chapel
services. Students also read to
them or perform other services
that may aid in any way. We
also have Medical Technology
major and Pre-Med majors
working in the medical techno
logy laboratory. This experience,
of course, benefits the students
as well as the hospital. You will
be hearing of our projects from
time to time. Participation in
these projects is not limited to
members of the S. C. S. C.
To stimulate the campus com
munity to a more Christian life,
we are also beginning a new
and more creative Mid-week
Vesper program in which stu
dents express their ideas and
feelings. We are engaging in
dialogue with students of other
campuses in order to promote
better understanding between the
campuses.
The Students for Christian So-
cial Concerns is under the lea
dership of Miss Jacquelyn Grant.
Our coordinator is Miss Kathy
Millner and Advisor is Rev. P.
E. A. Addo. Any student at Ben
nett College who has a willing
ness to work toward the goals
and purposes of the organization
may obtain membership in the
organization.
Join us in our next meeting-
Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in the
Student Lounge of the Student
Union.
Soul On Ice
By ELDRIDGE CLEAVER
Reviewed By BETTY JONES
You have probably read Cle-
aver*s Soul On Ice with anger
and agreement, pity and pride,
and even stronger mixed emo
tions. Because of the “heat” it
generates, maybe it should be
called “Soul On Fire.” Eldridge
Cleaver writes frankly and flu-
ently as he commandshisrea
der's attention. His language
style is inconsistent as he swings
between Watts slang and flowing
poetic lines. He handles both
styles with equal ease and ability.
As Julian Mayfield of The Na
tion comments, the book “. . .
make you twist and flinch be
cause he is no damned gentle
man. He throws light on the dark
areas we wish he would lieave
alone. . .” The book is auto
biographical and was written
while the author was in Cali
fornia’s Folsom State Prison. It
tells of a Black man’s struggle
with himself as he relates in and
out of society as it is, was, and
must soon become. The last chap
ter, “To All Black Women, From
All Black Men,” has a stinging
poetic frankness that constitutes
a genuinely superb ending to a
soul stirring volume.
Perh^ Richard Gilman of
The New Republic says it best:
“A spiritual and intellectual
aotoblograiAy that stands at the
exact resonant center of the new
Negro writing. . .abook for which
we have to make room.-but not
on the shelves we have already
built”
If you have not already done so,
expand your mind. Spend $1,95
and add Soul On Ice by Eld-
ridge Cleaver to your reading.
It is a Delta Book published by
Dell Publishing Co., Inc. and
can be purchased at all major
book stores and newsstands a-
cross the country.

Aries (March 21st -- April 20th)
You may need someone to lean
on during this month, for you
could come up against a pro
blem too big or too hot to han-
die. You'll find that an impar
tial friend will be your best
source for help in this situa
tion, rather than close friends
or your direct family.
Taurus (April 21st -- May 20th)
Your life is like a seesaw
during this cycle: you're going
up and down, especially in ro
mantic affairs. During one of
your down periods you may
break up with your man or have
a big disagreemant. But don't
worry things will be up again
before the month is out and
he'll want you back at his side.
Gemini (May 21st -- June 20th)
October is going to be a great
month for you. Your thing will
swing scholastically, athleti
cally, and most of all romanti
cally, However, don't blow your
cool by getting an attitude about
all of this. It could happen you
know, without you really knowing
it, and if it does you'll have some
bad side effects in the near fut
ure.
Cancer (June 21st -- July 20th)
Maintain yoar cool, Octol)er
could get pretty rough for you.
Try not to use people or get
too hot over a needless situa
tion: October isn’t all bad though,
you may get the chance to work
a lot in a field that interests
you and this could come in pretty
handy in the future. Also a new
romance will come on the scene
in a rather strange way and it
may develop into something
great.
Leo (July 21st -- August 20th)
Now’s the time to join that
organization you’ve been think
ing about. Don't hesitate, yoa'll
really be surprised at what you'll
get out of it. Your membership
could bring you publicity, fun,
and best of all you may meet
a new love throu^ a member.
So Leo, get with it.
Your Horscope
Virgo (AugiBt 21st - - Sept. 20th)
Your main man may be giving
you a little trouble this month.
If so you'll be feeling kind of
low for awhile, but don’t let it
get you down, you've got the
power to keep him hanging on.
Things will pick up near the
end of the month if you'll just
hold on. Meanwhile, don't let
all of this interfer with you and
the books,
Libra (September 21st -- Oct
ober 20th)
Just be yourself and you’ll
attract a lot of friends.. Your
popularity may cause some pro
blems though, because of rival
ry among your admirers. In fact
you may have to decide between
two loves; choose the one that
you truly care for. Don’t be
greedy and try to hang onto
them both, you may wind up
with nothing.
Scorpio (October 21st -- Nov-
ember 20th)
Don’t let your problems get
you down. Your love life and
school work may not be too
swift ri^t now, but just keep
cool, things will come around.
Hold on, a better day is coming.
Sagittarius (November 21st --
December 20th)
You may get the urge to be-
come very radicle in your ac-
tions this month. If you don’t
keep it down, your behavior could
cause you to get into a tight
bind. Before you mike any big
decisions, make sure it is really
for you and not just the thing
to do.
Capricorn (December 21st --
January 20th)
Your popularity rating is up
real high this month. However,
make sure you don’t ruin a good
thing by getting in with the wrong
crowd. Check things out first
and you’ll come out a lot better
in the end.
Aquarius (January 21st --Feb
ruary 20th)
You may feel big and bad this
month and your actions could
cause you to get on bad terms
with your friends. To avoid this
use your extra energy in being
creative and original; after all
October is your best month for
this. However, don’t let your
originality carry you out too
far.
Pisces (February 21st -- March
20th)
Your charms may really turn
on someone of the opposite sex.
However, his ridiculous jealousy
will cause your relationship to
end almost as quickly as it got
started. But don’t put him com
pletely out into the cold, may
be his jealously won’t allowthings
to work out romantically, but he
could prove to be a better friend
than lover.

duties, etc. have gone unacted upon. Where do we go from here?
What lines of communication do we use now?
Needless to say, our grievances have a long history of being
ignored. Our true desire to improve and facilitate the quality of
education at Bennett has been given a deaf ears. The problems
we face on campus, if not dealt with will weaken the quality of
education at Bennett,
There is a strong need for change and striking out in new direc
tions if we are to survive as a meaningful and productive insti
tution, One must remember, however, the time is short, and the hour
is late.
FASHION NEWS

“We shall have our manhood.
We shall have it
or the earth will be leveled
by our attempts to gain it.”
--.from Soul on Ice
By DARWIN PRIOLEAl!
This season begin another fun
year in fashions. This fall, dres
ses are brighter and colorful, ex-
pecially in Africian prints. The
big colors for the fall and win
ter seasons are purple, wine,
red, orange, golds, navy, and
brown.
For the really fashion con
science woman the maxi-coat
will be the scene. The maxi
coat is definitely not for every
one, it is expecially for the slim
and at least medium height wo
man, It comes in all-weather
coats, crushed parent leather
raincoats, and winter wool coats.
The maxi is usually English cut,
double breasted, open collared,
and A-line. It will indeed be a
smart buy especially if your
legs chill easily.
Returning for another year of
popularity and high fashion is of
course the mini-dress. Yes, the
mini is here to stay, or so its
been stated by many fashions ex
perts. This year they’re even
shorter and cuter than before.
Also this year the mini-dress
is accompanied by the mini- coat.
Knits have made a big com-
back this year. Knit dresses,
pants suits, hats, skirts, blou
ses are all a fashion hit. Long
knit over-sweaters and vests
over skirts or pants will meet
the fashion scene. This sweater
can double as a mini-dress. The
Bonnie and Clyde hats are even
bigger than last year. For those
of you that are not familiar with
these types of hats, they are
berets or wide brim hats. The
beret, made out of felt or wool
knit is pulled way down over the
head. The wide brim hat, usually
made of felt is put on with a
little tilt to the side to give it
that mysterious flair.
Accessories this year are very
interesting and pretty much your
o'tm thing. Scarves can be worn
anywhere, around your head
apache style, tied around your
neck or waist. The same thing
can be done with chains. The
biggest fashion hint of today is
to plan your wardrobe so that is
says you.
