FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1976 THE BENNETT BANNER Page Five Reassignments for some B. C. Faculty Old Faculty Members Get New Positions by Linda Pittman Some of the old faculty mem bers at Bennett College have new positions this fall. One is Mrs. Ednita Bullock who is the acting head librarian. Mrs. Bullock began working at Bennett College in January of 1972, and at that time she was a librarian assistant. Mrs. Bullock later re turned to school to receive her masters degree, thus becoming the technical services librarian for the next two years. Mrs. Bullock is a 1968 graduate of Bennett College. While attend ing Bennett, Mrs. Bullock worked in the library, majored in Span ish, and minored in political sci ence. Mrs. Bullock prefers not to teach so she has time to encour age learning in her capacity as the acting head librarian at Ben nett College. Mrs. Amy Reynolds is the new coordinator of reading. Mrs. Reyn olds has been employed at Ben nett College for the past six years. During that time she was the di rector of the reading program for Special Services students and an assistant professor of education. The change in her position was to strengthen the reading pro gram and to better serve the needs of the students. Mrs. Reynolds’ motivation for encouraging education has been changed along with her change of position. It gives her the incen tive to want to do more because of a broader base of operation. She has more support from fac ulty members and is excited about exploring and creating new things to make bigger and better changes. When asked about her feelings concerning Bennett, Mrs. Reyn olds replied, “I enjoy working here. I love Bennett, and I love the girls.” Dr. Mattie Moss has been a mathematics instructor at Bennett College since 1969. She has now been appointed as the new chair man of the Mathematics Depart ment as a result of the resigna tion of the former chairman, Mrs. Nellouise Watkins, who will now devote full-time as director of the computer center. Dr. Moss formerly worked in the city schools of Greensboro but has always had an interest in college level teaching. She found an available position here at Ben nett College and likes it very much. Dr. Lela Hankins is the director of the new Division of Education and chairman of the Department of Secondary Education and Pro fessional Studies and professor of education. She has been teach ing at Bennett College for the past 11 years, and since 1970 has been the director of teacher education. Until this year the Department Curfs Records and Cosmetic Center 2031 E.

But now the Department of Education has be come a division and that is the fourth division of instruction. There are two departments with in this division: the Department of Secondary Education and Profes sional Studies, and the Depart ment of Elementary Education and Special Education. There are two subdivisions in each of these departments. Under the Department of Secondary Edu cation and Professional studies there is the area of associate media coordinator and the area of audio visual education and ser vices. Under the Department of Elementary Education and Special Education there is a state licensed laboratory school for children ages three through five, and a reading program. Dr. Hankins feels that compe- tency-based student training is the division’s major thrust. This program offers the advantages of “attention to individual abilities and needs; efficiency enhanced by the use of feedback; an emphasis on a field-centered approach; and a student program accountability feature.” Dr. Hankins goes on to say, “We are developing modulized packets for student learning so that they may proceed at their own pace. There is a thrust on developing leadership and management skills of educational students. We are upgrading the instructional ma terials center, a specialized library for student teachers. We are de veloping a professional resources center designed for use by the faculty in developing institutional material.” Funds for these efforts are fur nished by the Advanced Institu tional Development Program, un der the direction of Dr. George Breathett. Dr. Hankins said that there is a new class being offered, “Intro duction to Teaching,” from Oct. 11 thru Nov. 17. It is a one semes ter course in Black Hall, Room 106. It will meet on Monday and Wednesday at four o’clock. Mrs. Marlowe Shute is the co-ordinator of the educational staff. All those interested in exploring teaching as a career are encouraged to sign up. Mrs. W. M. McCallum is an as sistant professor of social science, and has been for the past eight years. Mrs. McCallum has a de gree in counseling and advanced degrees in history and English. She was approached by Dr. Tip ton to accept a position as an aca demic advisor. Naturally Mrs. McCallum accepted because she has always been interested in ad vising. She worked in the public school system before coming to Bennett as a full time counselor and advisor. Working with stu dents is an art for Mrs. McCallum so she enjoys counseling very much. As a Bennett graduate she says, “Coming back to my alma mater was one of the greatest challenges of my life. I think of myself as a person who can be a counselor for all of the students. I just want the students to know that my of fice is open for academic advising as well as personal counseling.” Other faculty members have been honored with new positions. CBS to Feature Bennett Jr. on News Program by Debbie Hodges A segment of CBS’s “60 Minutes” will feature a Bennett junior. Robyn-Denise Berryhill, a communications major from Washington, D. C., was involved in an eight-week program at Stevens Elementary School this past summer. Stevens has recently come into the public eye when it was revealed that this is the school Jimmy Carter’s daughter will at tend if he is elected president. This would be the first time a president’s child attended a public school. CBS will show what kind of school Carter’s daughter might attend. No date has been set for the airing of the program as yet. Located in the city’s busi ness district not far from the Watergate complex, Stevens has represented in its student body about 47 different na tionalities. The children of many congressmen and am bassadors are enrolled in the school. According to Denise, Wash ington’s public school system has a reputation of poor con ditions and teaching staffs. Many were surprised at the outstanding modern programs and resources found at Stev ens. Some of the things of fered are a fine arts program, a media center, a computer program, a photography lab, and a proposed children’s museum. Denise’s job was to co ordinate the fine arts pro gram which was budgeted at $20,000. She also gave out in formation about the program to the press and recorded the program’s progress in film and manuscript documenta tion. Denise first became aware of the program at Stevens when she was approached by Mrs. Jane Harley, whom Den ise had worked with while she was in VISTA. Mrs. Harley, a counselor at Stevens and two other elementary schools, offered the job of fine arts co-ordinator to her. Working with people is one benefit Denise feels she got out of the summer program. “When you’re around people who speak 27 different lan guages you learn things,” she said. She even learned how to greet someone in Arabic. Entering law school is part of her plans once she gradu ates from Bennett. She also hopes to go into some phase of production — TV, movie, record, or all three areas. She already has the production of one film under her belt and has appeared on local TV and radio talk shows. She has made commercials and public service announcements for local TV. She also worked on a special for WOL Radio and has been published in “Jour nal” magazine. Denise has often been rec ognized as an unusual young w'oman. In 1971 she was awarded one of the Outstand ing Teenagers of America, one of the Outstanding Teen agers of D. C., and Who’s Who in American High Schools. In 1975 she was vot ed one of the Outstanding Young Women of America. Dance, art and drama are a big part of Denise’s life. She has studied ballet for 19 years, tap for six years and modern jazz dance for five years. She was in a workshop with the Dance Theatre of Harlem in 1973. She attended the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D. C. in 1966 and the Arena Stage-Summer Denise with dancers. Drama Workshop in 1968. One of her characteristics is a wide range of interests. She is “fascinated” by all kinds of music, from Beethov en to Earth, Wind, and Fire. She loves reading all kinds of books, cooking, and Richard Pryor. Her main ambition in life is to learn about “people, places, everything.” As a res idence assistant in Merner Hall she has a chance to work with and help people, an activity she enjoys. Her secret to staying on top? Realizing “Everyday is a new experience” and “ev erybody is a star . . . you’ve got to believe in yourself.” Phone: 373-9052 BY fflPPS 1913 E.

Monroe Deborah Luttery, a senior ac counting major from Atlanta, Georgia, participated in an eight- week economic program for mi nority students at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, during the summer of 1976. Deborah admits to having “mix ed emotions” about even applying for the program. She felt that her economic background was not broad enough, and she had also been planning employment for the S'Ummer. However, Deborah claims that due to the influence of her department chairman, Miss Wilhelmina J. Gilbert, she sub mitted her application. In the early spring of 1976, Dr. Marcus Alexis of Northwestern University, notified Deborah that she had been accepted, and that all expenses would be paid for by the American Economic Associa tion (AEA) and other foundations sponsoring the program. “I suddenly found myself very excited,” said Deborah. She be came curious about her ability to function in a school the size of Northwestern after attending Bennett for three years. Deborah describes her first week at Northwestern as a week of orientation. Dr. Alexis explain ed the purpose of the program as being directed toward preparing minority, undergraduate students, with interest in economics, for graduate study. “The program opened with a series of aptitude tests geared toward finding out what levels the 35 participants were on,” said Deborah. After the exams, their classes were scheduled. Classes were held five days a week, and a few seminars were scheduled. Due to time limitation, Deborah explained, they studied at a very intense rate. At the end of the eight weeks, the participants were given the opportunity to take the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), with the option of cancelling or retaining their scores. Deborah looks back over her summer at Northwestern as a memorable experience. She was able to study with students from different parts of the United States, students from small col leges and large universities, and students with different or similar ideals. Deborah views the program as not only academically educational but also socially enlightening. In conclusion she stated, “I can truthfully say that my visit to Northwestern University has made me a wiser person in more ways than one.” Corrections Mrs. Blonnie Tipton Is work ing part time in the reader’s services area in addition to her acquisition duties in technical services. Mrs. Pauline Wyrtch is also working part time in the read er’s services area as well as in the instructional Materials Center (IMC).
