Three Graduates of Co-Operative Education Program Make a Name for Themselves in Their Varied Fields / by Jackie Williams There are many Bennett grad uates who have participated in the Co-op Program and have made a name for themselves over the years. Bessie Lorraine Evans, ’75, so ciology major, is working for the Department of Human Resources District of Columbia as a social services representative. She moni tors income maintenance in terms of food stamps, medical assistance and other forms of aid to disad vantaged families. Lorraine says she finds her job “very stimulating and rewarding .. . but tied to a desk as opposed to field work.” Her co-op assign ments were with Social and Re habilitative Services DHEW. Phyllis McCarley, ’76, business administration major, is in grad uate school on a part-time basis while still working full time with Raytheon of Massachusetts. Ray theon, which was her co-op em ployer, paid her tuition while she was at Bennett and is now spon soring her graduate studies. Her Dr. Miller Comments on Giving To United Negro College Fund by Jacqueline Roberts Why do you think Ben nett College students and faculty should contribute to the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) ? This question was put to Dr. Isaac H. Miller, Jr., president of the college. Dr. Miller replied, “We must keep our colleges alive and UNCF is one way of doing so. Most of the col leges that are supported by UNCF are private or church-related and do not receive state support.” “The UNCF is one major resource which enables a college to provide quality education to its students,” added Dr. Miller. Without it, he said, many worthy students would be denied the benefit of a college ed ucation. “When a student gives to the UNCF, she is investing in herself,” Dr. Miller stated. He added, “When black people contribute to the UNCF, they are helping to keep viable the institutions which have meant much to their progress and upward mobility. A gift to the UNCF is an investment in our race.” responsibilities involve contract negotiations and grantsmanship. Psychology Major with IRS Evelyn Cohens, ’74, psychology major is employed by the Inter nal Revenue Service as revenue officer in collections. She is as signed to the Silver Hill, Mary land, IRS Unit. Before going with IRS, she was working with the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) DHEW, Ruchville, Md. Her co op assignments were with the Office of Economic Op portunity (one semester and NIMH (two semesters). Seniors filed for their degrees this month. It won't be long. Photo by Joyce A. Bass Thurman Stresses Responsibility As Means of Affirming Freedom (Continued from Page 1) Dr. Thurman who has addressed over 500 institutions around the world stated that a sense of self has to be rooted in one’s body. “I must experience my body as my body and give no one the right to pollute my body. And if it is profaned, I am destroyed at the core of my authenticity,” he said. He noted that through the so cial process in the search for ma- Check Yours in Computer Lab Biorhythm: a Body Cycle Theory Do you wonder why some days you feel you should have stayed in bed? There is an operable pro gram in the Computer Center which will graph your critical days, high periods and low times in your physical, sensi tivity and cognitive cycles. The biorhythm theory pos tulates that there are certain metabolic rhythms, known as inner clocks, that have a con stant cycle time in the human body. Two physicians, one a con temporary of Freud, concur rently described a 23-day cy cle that correlates with physi cal vitality, endurance and energy and a 38-day cycle that corresponds to sensitiv ity, intuition and cheerful ness. A third cycle was ob served by a professor and others in the 1920’s and is a 83-day cognitive or intellect ual cycle that relates to men tal alertness and judgment. The Japanese substantiated these theories when they plotted the cycles of pilots who had unsuccessful mis sions. When accidents showed such high correlation with the biorhythm of the pilot, bio rhythm became a top priority factor in selection of pilots for missions. Whether the theory is right or wrong it’s lots of fun. Check yourself out. turity, too many alibis have been provided “for not taking respon sibility for our actions.” “The ability to admit one’s ac tion is the most authentic and pro found way to express my faith In me,” he said. Another kind of personal re sponsibility, he noted, is control over one’s reactions to social forces over which one has no con trol. “Because of vast impersonal forces that shape us, that operate over our lives and in the presence of these forces, again, and again, our options are reduced to zero,” he said. He noted that the individual still has th power of certification and veto in the face of these im personal forces. Th audience comprised of stu dents, faculty, staff and members of the community seemed spell bound by the words of Dr. Thur man. “I may not be able to change anything, but I don’t have to say yes as long as I affirm that I am a free spirit,” he said. “I can wait, wait and wait because life is on my side. The contradictions of life are never final.” Others participating in the con vocation were Mrs. Alma P. Stokes, with alumnae apprecia tions; Mrs. Mary Jane Crawford, faculty appreciations; and Miss Shawn Humphries, student appre ciations. Dr. Isaac H Miller pre sided over the event. Music was provided by the college choir. Seems as If Carolyn Haiel has heard about the biorhvthm theory. Handbook Describes Student Rights (Continued from Page 1) Only upon emergencies or in extreme circumstances are premises occupied by students and housing their personal possessions to be searched without appropriate authorization from owner of the desig nated possessions or occupants of the designated room. In cases where students are not present, permission is granted by the dean of Student Affairs only after the reasons are specified and the object(s) sought are disclosed. No form of harassment is to be used to force admission of guilt or secure information from suspected persons. The status of a student, pending final action on charges brought by the appropriate authorities, is not to be altered nor is her right to be present on campus and in class suspended except for reasons relative to her physical and emotional safety or that of the general community. A definition and description of some possible penalties may be found in the Bennett College Judicial Code Handbook. The violations which fall under the jurisdiction of these various levels may also be found in the appendix of the handbook. As a resident and non-resident student you should be aware of your rights. Make it a point to read this handbook so that your student rights might be enhanced and not violated. Photo by Joyce A. Bass
