Mini Or Maxi, To Please Women?
Faculty And Staff.
Page 3
Like everything of today fa
shion should be free. The new
fashion trend leans toward the
“be yourself look,” The ques
tion is no longer what is in
style, but what looks well on
you. From head to toes any
thing goes.
Some fashion e}!perts predict
that the midi look will be the
big and only look of the season.
Still other designers continue to
create new mini masterpieces.
The maxi, despite rumors is
not completely gone, especially
for the black woman, African
traditiorials are at the peak of
high fashion, and add quite a
bit of majesty to our women.
If midi’s are your bag, know
how to wear them. The midi
right below the knee length is
flattering without boots, but the
mid leg midi dress has to be
worn with boots, opaque stock
ings or as an emsemble with
pants. The mid calf and ankle
are the two most unfeminine
parts of the female anatomy. So
why accentuate them?
Everything, however depends
on who you dress to please.
Statistics Drove that most women
dress for women. If you are one;
of the minority who dresses for
men, then you will still keep a
few mini’s in your closet. Men
love the mini look. Don’t take my
word for it ask any man.
All in all in the fashion world
the word is freedom. Scarfs can
be worn on your head or your
ankle. Jewlery can be worn any
where. Colors are bri^t, dull,
or a combination of the two.
Hair can be worn long, short,
bushy, or straight. Which ever
style says you is the style that
is in.
In talking to some of the girls
on campus about the fashions and
styles, these were some of the
comments given about the midi:
I don’t like the midi because
if one isn’tproperlyproportioned
or if one doesn’t have all the
proper accessories, then one
looks awful. I hope the midi looses
out.” Margaret King.
The midi is fine for evening
wear but I wouldn’t wear it for
daily dress. Betty L. Wright,
The midi is o.k. But I don’t
like it for myslef. Glenda Dodd.
The Midi is alright; however,
I would rather see them on tall
people. 1 don’t like them for
myself because I am so short.
Deborah Palmer.
The midi is great. It provides
for a change, but some figure
types can’t wear them. I feel
that the mini should stay in for
those who like them. The midi
is very romantic. Onica Fields.
1 wouldn’t wear the midi. I
hate it, Denise Whiting
I love the midi! The midi is
simply great, Mona Lisa Lamar.
I don't like the midi for my
self. They look good on people
tall and slim with beautifully
shaped legs. They shouldn’t be
word without all proper acces
sories. One person that I feel is
shaped for all styles, especially
the midi, is Paidetta Williams.
Pamela Pennix,
Regardless of the different 0-
pinions on fashions, it seems that
the mini, the midi and the maxi
will be popular on Bennett’s cam
pus this year.
Organization News
Co-Curricular Office
The David D. Jones Student
Union houses many important
Bennett College offices. Perhacs
one of the busiest is that of Mrs.
Necia Boyers, the Director of
Co-Curricular Activities. She is
responsible for coordinating and
planning all activities on campus.
Mrs. Boyers schedules all non-
academic activities during non-
classroom time. This involves
getting plans from all campus or
ganizations and plotting them on
a campus calendar, along with the
time and location.
The Co-Curricular Office acts
as a clearing house for all types
of activities. Before any organi.
zation meets, it must check with
the office to obtain a meeting
place at a specific and convenient
time. If the organisation needs
any special equipr-‘'- such as
tables or chairs, it mi ^t request
it at a reasonable time before the
event, through the office. The
request would then be referred
to Mr. Rogers, the Superinten-
dent of Grounds.'
Mrs. Boyers is well informed
on the nature of each campus
organization. She required each
group to turn in a list of their
officers, their places of resi
dence, as well as their plans for
the upcoming year. She works
closely with the Student Senate,
the Student Union, the Recrea
tional Council, and the Pre-Alu
mnae Council to insure organi
zational efficiency within the sch
ool’s rules.
The role of the Co-Curricular
Office is endless. It affects the
lives of every student and is
perhaps the steam engine behind
Bennett’s social activities. It is
here to serve the needs of the
student.
The “Bee Hive-” Of Activity?
On the typical college or uni
versity campus, the Student Union
Building is the “bee hive” for
student activities. However here
at Bennett college there are very
few “bees” buzzing around our
Union. It is stated in our campus
Union. It is stated in our handbook
that the Union “ is the center of
campus life.” Careful observa
tions of campus life will show that
if the dining hall and the post
office were placed r another
building, the traffic in the Union
would dAvindle do vvv; very lit
tle, if any.
Our Union need5 t be made
first and utmost attractive so that
it sends unwritten tation to
encourage students \6e it. The
Union Board is in tlf : ocess of
planning for our bu -iuig and ac
tivities which it wll sponsor.
It would be oh so simple to say
“abra ca dabra” and at the wave
of the magic wand see a beautiful
building, bri^t pretty colors,
news furnishings with the “Sev
enty look”, draperies in the din-
ing hall, colorful trays, a dif
ferent arrangement of, “new ta
ble and chairs”, a -weekly menu,
maybe a little c^peting here and
there with a few pictures on the
walls, a printing den, a snack
bar, and there axe oh so many
other little things.
But since we can’t wave that
wand and get those things, we’ll
have to do the best we can, with
what we have to work with. Our
best sourceful resource is YOU,
Help us in our endeavors. Buzz
around the Hive sometimes,

News In Brief
“Brothers and sisters --we
are like the maid in a house-.-
in it but not of it.”
---Junebug Jabbo Jones
Women’s Dress shops across
the nation have reported that the
trend in fall fashions is to pants
and pants suit. It has been re
ported that women are buying
pants 10 to 1 over the various
lengths of dresses to keep from
buying midis and maxis.
Le Roi Jones, a new selection
to the Black Academy of Arts
and Letters was announced at a

Bennett Belle’s! Have any
small change in the bank? Yes
or No-—---
The major banks have trimmed
their prime rates from 8% to
7 1/2%. As always the little
ducks follow the big ones, mean
ing several North Carolina Banks
are following the New York Bank
lead.
NCNB was the first to follow
the lead in reducing its prime
interests rate. Addison H. Reese,
chairman of NCNB said, the
trend pf change was made be
cause of recent reductions in the
money market rates.
Will the lettuce Strike affect
our Bennett College lunch room?
Think- —.Have you noticed
your hamburger lately? When was
the last time you had salad? This
may be the reason.
In Salinas, Calif., a man by the
name of Cesar Chavez, from the
Salinas Valley. The lettuce strike
is a better Union battle. Chavez
has launched a nation wide let
tuce boycott to gain recognition
of his AFL-CIO. The strike has
meant skyracketing vegetables
prices.
“Man must develop his mind.
He must become conscious to
control the land or he will be
swallowed up by it.ll
Jackson, the guest speaker at
the Freshmen Worship Service
in Moore Gym, told the students
that the greatest contribution that
young blacks can make to the re
volution is through education and
books. Jackson emphasized that
“anybody who aspires to be a
leader, must first develop his
own mind.” He urged his aud
ience to be devoted to self pride.
Dr. Jesse Jackson received his
honorary doctrate during the
spring commencement exercises
at A & T.
North Carolina education offi
cials are quietly considering ra
dical changes to one of the state’s
more durable and elastic institu-
tions, hi^ school athletics, now
threatened by stadeirt disorders.
The student strife at ball games
could force schools to end their
-.(Black or white)--athleticpro-
grams alto^er.
The roots of the strife go deeply
into each community and each
school which involves to a great
degree, friction between Black’s
and whites.
The chairman of the Presi
dent’s Commission on campus
unrest told President Nixon he
must exercise greater leader
ship if violence is to be curbed
and tension eased between young
and old.
Chairman William Scranton
commented that government ac
tions and inactions at all levels
for contributing to the crisis on
the college campuses. Both trig
ger--happy officers and student
terrorists are called criminals.
Rec. Council
Dig It! If you really want to
express yourself, just make it
on down to the Coffeehouse every
Thursday night around 8:00,
There’s somethine for everv-
body: ping pong, pinochle, bid
whist, checkers, chess, fine mu
sic, and men --- if they dance!
This year the Re creational
Council is really trying to make
Bennett where the happenings
are. The year started off with a
gig featuring a dance contest.
Hopefully, the Council would like
to have more of these, featuring
a blue jean contest, a skinny
leg contest, and, of course, more
dance contests for Verna and
Joann to win! Other “maybe”
activities the Rec Council hopes
to sponsor: a hayride, a Lib
eration Dance, a Halloween party
for the community children and
a birthday dinner.
