Page Four THE BENNETT BANNER FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1976 .A"’* r'l / Students enjoy Fun Night, a Thursday night tradition at Bennett. Photo by Joyce Bass Year Brings Change For Holgate Library The Thomas F. Holgate Library has undergone a number of changes since last spring. Several staff changes have been announced, Mrs. Ednita W. Bul lock has been appointed acting head librarian for the 1976-77 school year; and a new member of the staff, Miss Dorothy Wil liams, who received her M.S. in library science from North Caro lina Central this spring, will serve as technical services librarian. In otlier staff changes, Mrs. Montez Byers will be working part-time with the college archives in addition to her duties in pe riodicals and circulation. Mrs. Blonnie Tipton will be working part-time in readers’ services as well as in the Instructional Ma terials Center. Miss Jacquelyn Mc- Girt is responsible for the re serve collection as well as the reference collection this year. Miss McGirt is also responsible for co ordinating the activities in the different areas of readers’ services. Library hours for the main area of the library will be the same as last year: Monday-Thursday 8:00 to 5:00 and 6:30 to 9:30; Fri day 8:00-5:00 and Saturday from 9:00 to 1:00. The Instructional Ma terials Center hours have been changed, however. They will be Monday - Thursday 10:00 - 12:00, 1:00-4:00 and 6:30-9:30; Friday from 10:00 to 12:00 and 1:00 to 4:00; and Saturday from 9:00- 12:00. The archives will be open Monday through Friday from 8:00 to 10:00 and 4:00-5:00. Physical changes include the re moval of the reserve and current periodicals collections to the ref erence room. The Reserve Room, now the Periodicals Room, houses bound periodicals, periodical in dexes and the Kardex file. New acquisitions will now be displayed in front of the circula tion desk and an exhibit featuring a special topic each month will be displayed across from the public catalog. This month’s exhibit fea tures “Women in a Changing So ciety.” Registration No Hassle by Rochelle Moody Many students view registra tion as a part of their college days they would rather avoid if at all possible. We at Bennett tend to complain during this time too, but we really don’t realize how “hassle free” our registration is because of our small size as compared to larger universities. Jamelle Felder, a junior, said, “Registration at A&T puts you through much more of a hassle If you pre-register at Bennett, then the class cards should be sent to A&T and you shouldn’t have to go through that hassel.” Lisa Anderson and Bernice Sims, two more juniors, feel that Freshmen Give Views (Continued from Page 1) tracted to Bennett’s Interdis ciplinary Studies Program.” Another reason Regina came was that she thought she “would feel at home at a pre dominately black college of small size. Bennett seemed to be the answer.” Deborah Wilson of Sumter, S. 0., who plans to major in medical technology, said she decided to come to Bennett because she liked the school and the range of academic subjects offered. So far she likes just about everything with the possible exception of her room in Jones Hall. The main complaints fresh men have so far all have to do with the fact that Bennett has this year the biggest freshman class in years, since 1968. Several freshmen re marked on the longer lines in the dining hall which they said resulted in some people missing meals. One freshman said that she thought the college should have been better prepared for the jump in enrollment. She mentioned things like fresh men sleeping in the senior dorms and overflow labs in computer classes. However, freshmen seem to be adjusting well. Many re marked that there were a lot of nice people here. registration is nothing compared to registration at A&T. Lisa said, “While registering for one class, I had to fill out five different forms. The registrar couldn’t tell us where to go after wards. It’s much worse there than here.” So ladies, when registration time rolls around again, don’t com plain, but think of those poor stu dents at other large universities and colleges running around pull ing their hair out due to all of the problems they are having. Bennett Netters To Gain Hopefuls by Sandra J. Monroe Bennett College’s 1976-77 basketball team is expected to gain five outstanding freshmen in an attempt to fill the shoes of graduated seniors, Esther Canty, who was Bennett’s leading scorer for four years, and Bernie Sisco. “We will be better,” said Leon J. McDougle, coach of the basketball team, but he still remains only “cautiously optimistic about the upcoming season. McDougle is concerned about giving the team some depth. He feels that the freshmen are bringing lots of ability to Ben nett, but will lack the experience needed at the college level. He believes the team will be more mature by the 1977-78 season. Frazier Hamed New Physician (Continued from Page 1) However, students precipitated the change in campus physician. Dean Bragg explained, “Students have requested a male physician on campus.” Also Dr. Gravely in the past devoted one hour each day for four days to the school. She also had a private practice which restricted the number of hours that could be devoted to B’ennett. Dr. Charles Frazier, an internist at L. Richardson Hospital will be filling the position as the campus physician. Tentatively, the new physician will devote two hours a day for five days in the Health Center on campus. Since Dr. Frazier doesn’t have a private practice, he will be situated to de vote the kind of medical service that is required and needed to more adequately accommodate students. He is a resident of Greensboro and very new to the communtiy. Dr. Frazier’s office will be lo cated on the 4th floor of L. Rich ardson which is set aside for doc tors. He resides at 339 East Mont Castle Dr. in Greensboro, N. C. If needed again in the near fu ture, the services of Dr. Gravely will be called upon again, said Dean Bragg. McDougle also feels that the girls that are coming in “are not women basketball players, but basketball play ers who happen to be wom en.” That feeling also extends to anticipating the team to be more aggressive than last year’s team. McDougle hopes that the freshmen will push the upper classmen to higher levels of consistency and that the up per classmen can give the freshman the tact that is needed for success in the game. In essence, both groups can help each other, he said. There will be open try-outs for positions on the team be ginning around the middle of October. Those persons inter ested in trying out for the team should watch for signs and posters which will be posted around campus. Trim Down that Bennett Belly! Come to the slimnastics semi nar every Thursday from 8-9 in Goode Gymnasium. (Exercising activity will in no way interfere with Fun Night activity.) So Bring a Fat Friend! Is ACES Needed! (Continued from Page 1) which includes a few students as well as faculty. So the decision was made with the students’ input. Students have voiced the opinion that had it not been for A.C.E.S., they would not have had the knowledge of a piano concert or heard such dynamic speakers as Bennett has presented. Many of them appreciate A.C.E.S.” Debra Tillman, a sophomore from Washington, D. C., com mented on the change, “Seventy- five percent is quite a large re quirement and I disagree with the pass or fail grading.” Another sophomore, Cathy Lid- die of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: “A.C.E.S. should be eliminated al together. It’s not fair to make it a requirement when it should be something you enjoy. You can’t enjoy anything you’re forced to do.” Wanda Johnson, a transfer sophomore from Brenau College in Gainesville, Georgia, says: “One should get a grade for attending A.C.E.S. instead of a simple pass or fail grade. The grade you get can either make you or break you.” BECOiViE A COLLEGE CAMPUS DEALER Sell Brand Name Stereo Components at lowest prices. High profits; NO INVESTMENT REQUIRED.

Me Ajrggj The cost of an education is high enough without having to pay a service charge for something as necessary as a checking account. So at Northwestern, as long as you’re a student, you’ll never pay a service charge for checking. Because you deserve it. ®THE NORTHWESTERN BANKa^c!
