Mulugetta On Tuesday, March 4, 1975, at the Pfeiffer Science Assembly, The Division of the Humanities pre sented the first in a series of five forums on WOMANPOWER. WOMANPOWER; Viable Poten tial for Coping with Urbanization and Changing Community Values, is a five week series which will engage the public in problem- oriented discussions centered on five critical issues which threaten economic, social, political, moral and aesthetic priorities. The opening forum, The Eco nomic Issue; Providing Optional Strategies for Economic Stability Within an Urban Community, had Ms. Patricia Callier, Chairperson, The Affirmative Action Task Force National Organization of Women and Professor at the Uni versity of South Carolina, as the keynote speaker. Discussion lead ers for this session were Dr. Miriam Slifkin, Department of Public Instruction, Textbook Di vision, Raleigh, N. C., Miss Wil- helmina J. Gilbert, chairperson of the Department of Business and Economics, and Mrs. Mae H. Nash, director. Career Services Center, both of Bennett College. After an introduction by Mrs. Geraldine Totten, Ms. Callier be gan her speech by saying that she was very glad to be at Bennett Choir Travels To Morehouse by Joyce Bass On Friday, February 28th at 8 a.m. about 40 members of the Ben nett College Choir left for At lanta, Georgia. There was some reservation about the concert since the direc tor, Dr. Charlotte Alston, could not go with the choir due to illness, but through the guidance and in sight given by her, the choir was able to fulfill its engagement in Atlanta. The choir, accompanied by Ms. Jimmie Gravely from the Fresh man Studies Center and Mrs. Mary J. Crawford of the Music De partment, arrived in Atlanta by 3:15 p.m. on Friday afternoon. They arrived ahead of schedule, but the girls were welcomed “warmly” by the officers of the Morehouse Glee Club and student body. After getting settled in their hotel room, the girls returned fo the campus for dinner in the Chiver’s Dining Hall. Following this, a social welcoming was given in the girl’s honor at the More house Student Commons. On Saturday morning, March 1, the girls rehearsed for the con cert, which was held at 8 p.m. in the Sale Hall Chapel. Christen Dennard, who had been serving as student director for the choir while on campus, directed them during the concert. Among the selections performed were “The Gate Of Heaven,” by Randall Thompson, “Naomi and Ruth,” by Castelnuovo-Tedesco; opera excerpts from “The Mar riage of Figaro” and “The Old Maid and the Thief.” The ensem ble, Gospel Choir and Senior En semble, also performed. The Gospel Choir received a standing ovation for its perform ance and the entire choir was com mended for the concert as a whole. since she rarely had a chance to speak at women’s colleges and especially black women’s colleges. Ms. Collier is a 1970 gra(}uate of the University of South Carolina. Ms. Callier’s whole speech was one of consciousness-raising and the elevation of self-worth in all women. She said it was essential that women, particularly college women have a special confidence and perspective of themselves. The importance for women to prioritize goals and objectives and make value applications was em phasized by the speaker. This, she said will enable women to develop economic stability and achieve economic independence. Ms. Callier went on to state that the same power-hungry men tality that oppresses blacks is op pressing women. She drew a par allel between the kind of think ing that had long denied blacks good jobs, seeing them as only fit for menial labor, and the idea that women belong in the home and no woman is fit to be a lawyer, doc tor or prospective President of the U. S. She also stressed the importance for women of allying themselves with the women’s movement, be cause the movement has the re sources to effect change. Ms. Callier said that it was eco nomically feasible to exploit wom en as cheap labor; and since wom en were low on the “totem-pole” of employment it is mandatory for every woman to be aware of her rights and counter the economic oppression. Employment, she stated, had for a long time been determined by white male standards and qualifications, discriminating ag ainst black men, black women, women and all other minorities. She also said that employment should be viewed from a new non- traditional female perspective. To avoid the existing sex and racial bias, she said one should define oneself and not accept other peo ple’s say so. She concluded her speech by saying, “Now is your time to be precedent setters. You can change society. The decision you must make is that you want to and you are going to do it. I really believe it and we are going to do it.” This forum is made possible through a grant from the North Carolina Humanities committee and the efforts of the campus co directors, Dr. Charlotte Alston and Mrs. Geraldine Totten. ;; The Church of Conservation || Invites You To Be An II ORDAINED MINISTER ;i i: And Acquire The Rank il DOCTOR i| OF NATUREPEDICS ii Our fast growing church is act ;; ]► ively seekir>g environment-con-1[ 'i clous new ministers who believe what we believe; Man should ex;; ii 1st In harmony with nature.

If you can’t put to gether a properly constructed sen tence, you can’t file readable stories as a reporter. And if you can’t do these basic jobs, it doesn’t matter what kind of interesting stories you can dig up, what kind of provocative leads you can de vise, the open slot on the news paper or magazine will go to a better skilled person.” Dr. Tucker also said that some speakers at the convention, not ably Judith Crist, former reporter and editor for the New York Her ald Tribune, now a well-known movie critic (NBC Today, TV Guide and elsewhere), stated that they felt an undergraduate lib eral arts degree was far better preparation for a journalism ca reer than an undergraduate de gree in journalism. Miss Crist remarked that there are so many doors to be opened and that a good journalist should have looked through as many as possible. She did feel that the stu dent, having the liberal arts foun dation, should probably go on to a graduate school of journalism to learn the tricks of the trade. She noted that she had been an English major in college and had a minor in Greek and philosophy. She later received a graduate journalism degree from Columbia. The other four universities and colleges receiving first place awards are: University of Nevada, the Sagebrush; Bloomsburg State College, Pa., the Maroon and Gold; Pace University, Pleasant- ville, N. Y., the New Morning; and Francis Marion College, Flor ence, S, C., the Campus Crier.

Grants are available to qualified young men and women whose roots lie in the fourteen Southern states. Tarver said the Advisory Committee also will act as the se lection committee. He said appli cants must show an “abiding in terest” and aptitude for newspa per writing and editing and suc cessful applicants must convince the committee that they are deter mined to make a career of news- papering. Other members of the commit tee are: Herbert Davidson, editor and publisher of The Daytona Beach News-Journal; John Pop- ham, managing editor of The Chattanooga Times; Reg Murphy, editor of the Atlanta Constitution and William H.
