Page Two THE BENNETT BANNER FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1977 Belles: Read Judicial Handbook Have you ever heard the phrase, “It looks like you’ve gotten caught up in the middle of it” ? I’m asking the question merely because time should be taken by each Bennett student to become more knowledgeable about what events and, most of all, what actions have the greatest effect upon her success as a student. It does not take a great deal of time to go by the Office of Student Affairs and pick up a Judicial Handbook, which is the closest thing to the Bible for a Belle, or at least it should be. This “little blue book” has the ins and outs, the whys and wherefores of just about every major and minor violation that a Belle can or might commit. I think that most of us, if not all of us, would be quite amazed at the content of the handbook. What you may consider to be a trivial incident might just result in a trial before the Judicial Board and possible expulsion. I kid you not! Sisters, take time to know. The excuse “But nobody told me” will not and can not serve as your alibi forever. We are college women preparing to take our places in the working and teaching world. I dare say, your superior will not take the time to “school” you on the violations that might cost you your job until you ask him about the little pink slip you received in your mailbox. There are some employers who sit behind their desks waiting for you to make “that mistake.” Don’t be a fool in school and pay for it later in the unemployment pool. Take time to know.

Vex/ o /'.... /A'5aBORDWySTIOA/ Accelerated Study Enrollment Period Begins Oct. 31 You can still pick up some ex tra hours this semester without attending a class and put your Christmas vacation to good use. The mid-semester enrollment period for accelerated study will be the week of October 31. No ap- Sports are America’s number one pasttime. One of the major reasons is because, the non athlete, like me, has a chance to participate. For me, sports are always fun to watch. Did I say always? Let me rephrase that last statement and say for me, sports Faculty Briefs Lovie K. Booker, assistant professor of Foods and Nutri tion, attended the North Car olina Council on Food and Nu trition meeting held in Ra leigh on Sept. 22. The one day meeting was concerned with analysis of the role of fiber in good nutrition. The Rev. Peter Addo, col lege chaplain was guest speaker for Men’s Day at Hayes Memorial Church on Willow Road at 3:00 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 23. He will be the guest speaker at Provi dence Baptist Church at the 11 a.m. service on Sunday, Nov. 6. Letters to tke Editor except in one instance, are always fun to watch. Now, what’s the one instance? Well, anyone who went to the volleyball game on Monday, Oct. 17 knows exactly what I’m talking about. And for those of you who went and don’t remember, let me refresh your memory with just two words: Shaw University. It wasn’t Shaw’s volleyball team, but the fans that infuriated me and numerous other Belles. For those of you who didn’t attend that game, the Shaw fans were loud, boisterous, and just plain rowdy. 1 know people get excited and yell at sports events, but really! The Shaw fans shouted insults into the crowd and out onto the playing floor to opposing teams. The show the Shaw fans put on was uncalled for and for me took a lot away from the enjoyment of the match. Also, their childish behavior brought out the worst in a few of our fans. Though there weren’t many counterblasts from our side, I felt there shouldn’t have been any. If Shaw University was going to show their ignorance, we should have shown our intelligence and ignored them and for the most part we did. I’m proud to say the Belles did not bring themselves down to the level of the Shaw University fans. The Shaw fans are the type of blacks that Jim Crows love to jump on and put that kind of behavior on all blacks. And we wonder why whites still look down on us and there’s still preju dice. If we want to be treated with respect and honor, we have to act respectful to all people and show people that we have manners and decency. Fans like the ones representing Shaw University should be asked to leave the match, thus not being able to spoil the enjoyment of others at sports events. Beverly Rumley plications will be accepted after Nov. 4. Students who wish to add new courses to their schedules on an accelerated basis must pick up an application form in the Humani ties Division Office. They must fill out the top portion, listing the course they wish to take, making sure it is a course already being taught this semester. They should then go to the instructor of the course for approval. No forms will be accepted without the instruc tor’s signature in the appropriate blank. After returning the form to the Humanities Division Office or to Dr. Virginia Tucker, accelerated study coordinator, the student must proceed to the Records Of fice to pick up an ADD slip. This slip should be completed in the usual way and returned to the Records Office. Courses picked up during the mid-semester registration period must be completed by January 13. That means that the final ex amination in the course must be taken by that date and all work must be in. No Incompletes are given in accelerated study. Pass ing grade is a C. Students will have until Nov. 18 to drop a course picked up on accelerated study. After that date, the student must complete work in the course with a C average or receive an F. The accelerated study option permits a student to complete all the work done in a regular class independently in an accelerated 10-week period. All requirements are the same as for a student in the regular class, except acceler ated students are not required to attend class. For further information, see Dr. Tucker, F.A. 103. Anthem Written By Dr. Alston by Sharon L. Sanders An anthem written by Dr. Charlotte Alston, pro fessor of music and chair man of the Music Depart ment, was presented by the Bennett Ensemble at the dedication of the Constance Hill Marteena Special Col lections Room of Holgate Library on Oct. 8. The anthem “In Him We Move and Have Our Being” was written especially for that occasion. 1977-78 Editor-in-Chief Joyce A.

What we Belles now have to look forward to is a long, cold winter. Reluctantly, we must seek refuge from the “Hawk,” which means we will be spending a little more time in our rooms. What can be worse than con stantly looking at those dull, pale walls of our lifeless dor mitory rooms? Bringing the color and warm th of summer into our rooms does not require the talent of an interior decorator. (The rooms aren’t that bad.) With a little imagination and the sac rifice of a few pizzas your room can become the pleasant, comfortable place of study that it was meant to be. Hints of nature can act as a solution to the loss of the beau tiful green summer days. A plant here and a plant there can liven up any room. Re gardless of how many plants you have, or where you put them, the inspirations of sum mer cannot help but flourish in your room. Hiding those cracks, smears, and smudges on our walls is something we do almost auto matically. Even if you were fortunate enough to get a room that was freshly painted, scenic pictures or posters help to create that “secure” atmosphere that we seek during cold months. Our beds, which will some times have to double as chairs, can be spruced up and made more comfortable for sitting. Throw-pillows, quilts, and blankets can turn your night time bed into a cot by day. Solids, plaids, stripes, flowers, anything goes when you are making that perfect cozy cot. Other suggestions for a more pleasant room are: matching bed spreads and curtains, and throw-rugs. You might even try covering those big trunks with Contac paper, and using them as a stand for your tele vision or component set. Make a day out of livening up your room. After all, with cold weather on its way, you may be spending more time in your room than you desire. Be as creative and imaginative as you please. The end results can only be a room which says, “Some one lives here.”
