SENIORS TELL BENNETT
TO GET ON THE GOOD FOOT
The union needs to reflect
the personality of a woman’s
college.
No curfew for the seniors,
and co-ed visitation.
Provision of more social ac
tivities for students.
More parking space for all
students’ cars.
When will the desk lamps
be restored in the senior
dorm?
Laundry and meals should
be optional.
I really feel that the pool
should be open every night,
and we need more dances.
Some funds should be ap
propriated for complete re
novation of the Infirmary and
the Medical Staff, also the
Administration building.
Eliminate the double stand
ard, the fact that some stu
dents are getting over while
others are working hard to
make it.
Bennett should go co-ed.
We really need a re-evalu
ation of the general gradua
tion requirements.
Some administrators should
be expelled, for examples!!!!
Longer hours for the Snack
Bar and the Post Office.
Bennett should get some
adequate washing machines
for all the dorms.
Get rid of tickets on the
student cars.
It would be nice if the
physical education dept, were
a little more cohesive.'
Senior women should be
thought of as mature women
and not someone that needs
to be sheltered.
Dorms should remain a
status symbol, and the senior
dorm for seniors.
Bennett can improve on the
food situation.
Bennett needs to have a
rental service, example for
refrigerators.
The science division should
realize the potential of all of
its students, and not a certain
few.
Bennett should find a better
way to inform students about
opportunities that are avail
able for jobs.
Certain electric appliances
that are a necessity such as
radios should not be an add
ed expense to the students.
For the price we already pay
for room and board this
should be included already.
It appeared that B.C. was
going through a depression
when the students arrived at
breakfast only to .find NO
EGGS, just bread and meat.

REPORTER
What Is Your Opinion
Of The XX Olympiad.
About the XX Olympiad,
I feel that the judges were
extremely harsh in decisions
involving U. S. athletes. I
may be prejudiced against
them as an American, yet I
feel that a neutral party would
feel the same way. I do not
look forward to future Olym
piads; I only see them as get
ting more difficult for every
one involved.
—Gail Dickerson
Sophomore
I felt that at that particular
time it was inappropriate for
such a political murder. It
is quite disgusting when you
cannot have an organiMd
game of sports without a
political or racial undercur
rent being involved.
—Darlene Rose
Junior
I think all the beauty of
athletics was lost in this
year’s Olympics. It became too
political. Also I felt that the
repressing of the gold medals
from the black athletes was
an injustice that should not
be overlooked. If their gold
medals were taken as a re
sult of a common brotherly
gesture then why weren’t
other medals taken as a re
sult of the shedding of tears
or the throwing of the peace
sign. My conclusion from
these actions is that the Olym
pics should be discontinued.
For as long as there is hate,
war, and racism, incidents
such as the previous ones will
occur at the Olympics or any
where else that there is a
world wide fussion of people
and injustice will not tri
umph.
—Uyvonne McFadden
Freshman
All in all the olympiad
was very dynamic even
though there was tragedy in
volved. I felt there was a
little unfairness too, but the
basketball game was very
much so. Mark Spitz was
tremendous and of course
Larry Black, Eddie Hart and
their teammates.
—Jennifer Wilkins ’73
I think it was nice this
year. Next year, maybe the
U.S. will be ready, and will
win more medals, especially
gold. The murders were ter
rible. The Olympics is a sign
of peace. Hostility dies down
at this time and the deaths
ruined it. Even with the win
ning of medals, it didn’t seem
the same.
—Linda Wallace
Freshman
I liked the games, but not
the deaths. After that, every
thing was better. I don’t think
they should have stopped he
games. The U.S. track team
concerning the Blacks was un
fair.
—Denise Whiitle
Freshman
I think everything was al
right, until the murders.
They should have stopped the
Olympics until the disaster
was solvei But then, they
shouldn’t Imve because of the
people who paid. They could
have stopped two or three
hours of the games.
—Phyllis Carroll
Freshman
I think it was a complete
mess and politically orientat
ed.
—Marie Burns
Freshman
POET'S CORNER
THEME: POLITICS VS. LOVE
LOVE
MISTAKES
Our love was all a mistake
I’m sorry we didn’t realize it until it was too late.
We thought this was love, oh so real
We thought this until the shiny cover began to peel
I was happy to love you
How was I to know I was only making you sad and blue
All the heartaches were all my fault
I thought our love had the perfection of a store bought malt
It seems all my dreams and hope are going to crumble
Now I will know not to fall just because I’ve stumbled.
—Sandra White
A BED TIME PRAYER FOR HIM
As I kneel before my bed each night,
At the close of a weary day
I bury my head in my trembling hands
As tears fall as I pray
Dear God, as unworthy aS I am
I ask one thing of thee
Bless the one I love tonight
Help him to remember me
Dear God, he’s only human, you know
So when the day is done
He may be as lonely as I am now.
And turn to another one
Not always can I turn to him
And take him by the hand
But God you can go with him
And make him understand
Just help him to keep me in his heart
’Till soon we meet again
Although we are sometimes far apart,
I love him God .... Amen.
—Anonymous
POLITICS
ON ELECTION DAY
Nixon or McGovern, that’s what’s happening man
They both gonna end the war in Vietnam
Gonna bring peace and harmony
Yea they are, to this racist country.
They gonna feed the poor, fatten them up
Don’t mean nothing that they’ll do it
with what rich whities don’t dump
They gonna do right by us dumb niggers
Gonna let us show that we can be more than chumps
Yea man, they’re really what’s going on
They gonna be nice and cool for us poor fools,
That is, until election day,
Then, my black brothers and sistei-s
Dig it, dumb dudes
They gonna tell you to kiss their ass.
—Anonymous
THE POLITICS OF AMERICA
America will not sign the treaty banning genocide
Because from its own murders it can no longer hide.
The murder of millions of non-whites in this country
Their dirty ass scandals locked in the mind won’t see.
Annihiliation of all colored peoples in body and soul
In this country is a thing for all to behold.
The ghettos and slums built to oppress Blacks
The reservations created to give the Reds no slack.
Then whitey created the glorious word patriotism
To keep all those under his damn feet in colonialism.
Slavery is not gone, freedom has never existed
For people with the wrong color skin mind twisted.
So when the natives and black “immigrants” got restless
Whitey said we’ll emancipate them but keep them manless.
Freedom was shouted to the high heaven but tripping to hell
Was the only way that this freedom would sell.
So whitey is still sitting in his White House office
Dealing a death hand to all those under his thumb
Until the Ace of spade comes up amiss
And is followed by guns and violence till the revolution comes.
—Amrvi

—Natlyn T. McGhee
FROM A BLACK PERSPECTIVE
Wallace for president
his momma for vice president
was scribbled
on the men’s room wall
on
over
the toilet
Where
it’s
supposed to be.
