Page Two THE BENNETT BANNER FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1977 Think Academically Despite Holidays ’Tis the season to be. That’s right . . . To be. The time of year has arrived when special emphasis is placed on being with others and sharing in a traditional experience. And for stu dents, it is a time to be concerned. . i. As the Christmas season appi'oaches, seniors, if not others, become aware of the rapid passing of time. First semester has ended, and with the coming of second semester comes that final preparation for leaving in May. Yes, graduation will take place in May. Why should I mention May when it’s December? Well, I guess, it’s because, for many students, not just seniors. May will be a December in regards to course requirements. We should al ways be concerned about our academic requirements and what these courses as well as electives will mean to our success as graduates. Christmas is traditionally a time of giving from the heart. It should also be a time of giving concern and of giving thought to the past, present and future. An old year will go and a new year will come. What will you have? What will you be? This is the time to be concerned. ‘Tis the season to be caring and sharing, for others and with others. But most of all, ’tis the season to be. Take with you this holiday these thoughts: There comes a time in each individual’s life when she must face situations squarely. From the Bennett Banner Staff, season’s greetings and safe traveling during the coming holiday. P.S. Good luck with exams . . . and term papers . . . research projects . . . Summer Program al U.C. Berkeley Accepting Applications from Journalists The Summer Program for Mi nority Journalsts (SPMJ) at the University of California, Berkeley, is now accepting requests for ap plications to its 1978 session. The program, which has in creased the number of minority persons on U. S. newspaper staffs, began in 1969 at Columbia Univer sity and will hold its third ses sion at U. C. Berkeley’s School of Journalism beginning June 18, 1978. At the end of an intensive 11- week training period, graduates are placed by the program on wire services and daily newspapers across the country as full-fledged reporters. Participants receive tui tion, room and board on the Ber keley campus and a small weekly stipend. Applications will be welcomed from all minorities, including blacks, Chicanos and other La tinos, native Americans and Asians, with a strong determina tion to succeed in the field of print journalism. There is a rigorous and competi tive admission process to fill the program’s 15 openings. Those eligi ble are persons who desire a news paper career but have little or no professional journalism experi ence, or working newspaper re porters with less than a year’s experience. Applicants must demonstrate a marked potential for journalistic reporting and writing, have a basic knowledge of syntax, gram- mer and writing and a typing speed of at least 35 words per minute. Inquiries can be addressed to SPMJ at the School of Journalism at U. C, Berkeley, 607 Evans Hall, Berkeley, Calif. 94720. The SPMJ is a project of the Institute for Journalism Educa tion, a nonprofit educational cor poration. Robert C. Maynard, for merly an editorial writer of The Washington Post, is chairman of the institute’s board of directors. The deadline for completed ap plications is Jan. 20, 1978. Appli cants are not required to have a college education, but must be U. S. citizens or resident aliens with permanent visas, preferably between the ages of 21 and 35. For Bell es Only: Faskion Tips f or inter or by Dotty Brown Trying to keep warm and look good at the same time can be a big hassle. We either wear too Uttle and freeze, or we wear too much and look like a grizzly bear. Helena Rubinstein Fashion Spotters suggest long full-sleeved, unconstructed coats for keeping warm. The full-slccves provide ample room for those thick mo hair, cashmere, or wool sweaters you will want to wear underneath. This season a big shawl is an asset. Shawls are being worn over blazers, jackets, big sweaters and dresses, even coats. To make even more use of your shawl, drape it around you in those cold drafty classrooms or on those cold, dingy buses. Believe it or not, according to Helena Paibinstein the ke.v words for this winter are softness ro mantic. Blouses and skirts arc a must in a practical wardrobe. Skirts are big, flounced, tiered or soft-gathered at the waist. Tunics are worn over dresses or pants. Soft and cut easj', they can be either belted or loose. Bo sure to check your closet and attic for old classics. All thev will need is updating. Pleated skirts, kilts, pleated pants, stovepipe-leg jeans, sweatshirts, and tab-collared grandfather shirts are classics that you'll see a lot of this year. Don’t forget to buy a vest or two; they can really give you quite a range of mix and match possibilities. Shoes are high-Iieeled and sexy pumps for evening. Classic oxfords with spectator touches and loafers aie being worn for daytime. Hats are very important for warmth. Berets in felt and velour, the rolled turtle-knit caps, and ti appers hat will be seen in all the best places. One thing to remember when living on a budget is to try to stay away from seasonal fads. It isn’t a good practice to spend oodles of money on an outfit that will only be fashionable for one season. When in the market for blouses, skirts, and sweaters you will want to buy separates which ean be worn in different combinations. Don’t forget the waterproof boots, the gloves, and scarfs; and bundle up because . . . Baby it’s cold outside. Information courtesy of Mc- David/Sykes Associates, Inc, Pub lic Relations. Letter to tke Editor December 4, 1977 Dear Editor-in-Chief, 1 would like to voice a complaint concerning the display of attitudes and manners at shows, plays or any production sponsored at Ben nett College, Let me concentrate on the Pre-Alumnae Council Tal ent Show given December 3rd in the Little Theatre. I was distressed greatly at the lack of manners exhibited by some Bennett students. My impression has always been that a Bennett Belle was a lady; a lady that car ried herself v'cry well especially in public. Some of the students at the Pre-Alumnae Council Talent Show were not ladies and did not carry themseh’cs anywhere close to being a lady. Instead they were Heathens! Booing and making crude, unnecessary comments 1977-78 Editor-in-Chief Joyce A. Bass Associate Editor Deborah Tillman Dr. Virginia Tucker Layout Editor Debbie Hodqes Circulation Manager Janis Badson Business Manager Terr/ Lewis Cartoonists ‘ Twinkle " Richmond, Karen Evans Photographers Joyce Bass, Myra Davis Reporters Linda Anderson Jacqueline Roberts Vanessa Bartley Beverly Rumley Dorothy Brown Sharon Sanders Sandra Brown Yvette Shelton Patricia Crawford Sabrina Sturgis Renee Hall Yolanda White Becki Holder Jackie Williams Marion Johnson Dionna Woods Shelia Purnell Wendy Woods were just a lew \va.\'s in which some students down-gi'aded them selves. I said some because all of the students we.e not acting in such an embarrassing manner. I iecl for the students tiiat were h.'dies because the :-'ho\v was at tended by a few male counter parts. Tlieir impression will prob ably focus 0)1 the entire student body. My advice is as follows: Ladies, when a function is be ing sponsored by any group on campus and you are planning to attend, please remember to act courteousl.v to your fellow Ben nett sisters. It takes a lot of cour age to perform or speak in front of a groLip of people. Try and be a little understanding. After all you would want someone else to be. Also remember your manners. You can be assured that someone will always be watching you. A concerned student, LaSandra A. A. Muldrow STUDY BEFORE YOU SLEEP Are you the kind of student who usually studies hard Ijefore going to bed, or the kind who goes to bed, sets the alarm for five or six o’clock and them crams? If you’re a pre-sleep studier, GLAMOUR Magazine reports you may be getting better grades as a result of your study habits than someone who does the work afterward. Recent research into sleep and -study habits shows that sleep prior to study disrupts memory significantly, un less considerable waking time is allowed before dig ging into the material you want to learn. The shorter the period of sleep that precedes the studying, the more this sleep disrupts learning. Sleeping four hours or less was found to be highly disturbing to memory ; sleeping six hours disturbed it less. Researchers aren’t exactly sure how sleep disturbs the memory process, but they believe it might involve hor mones. In laboratory tests on mice, the hormone sama- totrophin, produced naturally durin.g sleep, severely af fected the memory of mice injected with it. If you have a test to study for, study first instead of putting it off until the next mornin.g. P>etter grades might be your reward. Material above by courtesy of GLAMOtIR Magazine. New Financial Aid Applications Needed by Jacqueline Roberts Applications for financial aid for the school year of 1978-79 will be available Dec. 10 in the Financial Aid Office. This year students will have to fill out only one fi nancial aid form for any type of financial aid need ed. The parent’s confiden tial form also must be com pleted, however. Bennett Students Are Encouraged to Use Consortium Library before A&T, UNC-G by Sharon L. Sanders Bennett students arc encouraged to use the resources of Holgate TJbrary, the James Addison Jones Library at Greensboro College, and the Guilford College Library before seeking to borrow materials from UNC-G or A&T. The re sources of the libraries at Bennett, Greensboro, and Guilford Colleges are available to any student who i.s registered for classes at one of those schools, A student need only present his or her current identification or registration form to use any service at one or more of the libraries. Although students from Bennett can use library materials at UNC- G or A&T while in the library, they cannot check them out unless they are taking courses at that institution. To borrow materials from UNC-G or A&T, an Interli brary Loan Form must be filled out and sent via mail by the Ref erence Librarian at Bennett. This procedure usually takes about a week before the student can have access to the requested materials. Therefore, students should request materials early in order to receive them in time for their assign ments.
