FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1978 THE BENNETT BANNER Page Five Parents Get Involved New Parent’s Association Organized on Campus Marion Johnson, candidate for presi dent Student Union Board. by Marion Johnson The day a young lady becomes a Bennett Belle, her parents auto matically become members of the Bennett College Parents Associa tion. Founded on August 22, 1977 the Parents Association was estab lished as a link between parents and the college. The association aids in the co-ordination of spe cial services and projects which involve parents. All parents are members of the association, but the co-ordinating council members are in office for 2 years. "Time Tips" for Students The Home/Family Life Center offered the second mini-course for 1978 February 20-March 3. The theme “Utilization Of Time As A Family Resource,” brought a num ber of time management consult ants to the campus. Donna N. Douglas, assistant di rector of the Time Management Center, in Grandville, Michigan presented a full day of seminars and films centering around the general theme “How To Control The Time Of Your Life.” Students received the following “Time Tips.” 1. Know what’s expected of you in class. Be clear from the be ginning. Then you can decide whether or not you want to elaborate. 2. Don’t rewrite your class notes. Review your original notes; you have better recall from the “original masterpiece.” 3. CONCENTRATE One-two hours of concen trated study is worth much more than several hours of distracted effort. (No, you can’t study better in front of the tube!) 4. Carry an all-purpose calendar with you. Write in dates when assignments are due immedi ately. 5. Don’t wait to get “in the mood” to study. You’re only kidding yourself. 6. Have the gumption to say “No” to your friends when you really planned to study. 7. Worry will get you no where —so don’t waste time on it. Is there anything you can do NOW that will solve your problem? DO IT if there is something you can do. Or else, forget it! 8. Leam to read—appropriately. Not all college reading re quires the same type of inten sive reading. Look for clues in your textbooks to determine what’s important. Take a speed-reading course, if pos sible. 9. Underline effectively when studying—but don’t get car ried away. 10. Save time by asking questions. Ask your professors, librar ians, counselors, other majors, etc. for whatever information that will help you be a more effective student. 11. Remember “Space Separate ness.” Have a place where all you do is sleep (bed is a good choice here), a place where you do nothing but study, a place where you write letters and read light books, a place where you play games, etc. It will help your head train to be more effective at whatever it’s doing. 12. Don’t procrastinate. DO IT NOW! Bowling League Naw Meeting by Wendy Robin Woods The Bennett Colleg^e Bowl ing League meets every Sat urday at 1:30 at the Friendly Lanes. Bennett’s WAA pays one dollar of your expenses if you bowl and a required average of 100 is necessary for a seri ous league. For more information please contact Renee Jessup at P. 0.

Wells, Wilming ton, Delaware. Dr. Perry Mack, director of de velopment and co-ordinator of the Parent’s Association, said, “We are optimistic about the contributions of the Association. Even though we’re less than one year old the council is very functional and has contacted parents of prospective students.” According to Dr. Mack, as a member of this prestigious asso ciation, the parents represent more than a periodic tuition payment. They become an important part of the college experience. A parent’s involvement and sup port of the college can very well influence the kind of experience a young woman has during her col lege career. The hope is that through the Parent’s Association parents can be kept abreast of changing aca demic programs and developments which directly affect their daugh ters and other students. All Students Belong to Pre-Alums by Joyce Bass One of the never-recognized or ganizations on Bennett’s campus deserves a round of applause for its dauntless efforts to carry on despite lack of enthusiasm by its members. Who are the members? Every student on campus is a member of the Pre-Alumnae Council. The purpose of the Pre-Alums, as they are often called, is to serve as a go-between for students and the Alumnae Office. The group functions around sev eral projects during the course of the year, among them the United Negro College Fund drive and an annual membership drive. Mem bers of the organization also serve as hostesses for various receptions. There are at present over 3800 Bennett graduates and the Alum nae Office is in written contact with 3500 of this number. During Alumnae Weekend, members of the senior class will be inducted into the National Alumnae Association. At this initi ation, the charge that each grad uate receives is given. According to the club adviser, Ellease R. Browning, director of the Alumnae Office, “Every stu dent on campus is a member of the Pre-Alumnae Council, whether she is an active member or not. We want every student to take ad vantage of the opportunity to function with the group. One day, we hope they will also function as graduates.” Left to right, LaSandra Muldrow, candidate for Sophomore Class president, and Dino Bradley, candidate for Junior Class president.

Duties of Campus Officers Explained (Continued from Page 1) in case of a tie; have power to ap point all committees not other wise provided for; call together in the first week of the college year all new students and explain to them the purpose and meanings of the constitution and regulations; be a member of the Legislature; be a member of the Inter-Dormi tory Council. The officers of the Student Sen ate include the president, vice- president, recording secretary, cor responding secretary, treasurer, assistant treasurer and parliamen tarian. Vacancies occurring an any office of the Senate shall be filled by special election. The Committee on Nominations, composed of the president and an other senior member of the cabi net who will serve as secretary, editor and senior member of the BANNER staff, president and sen ior member of the Student Union Board and one senior-at-large, preferably the president of the senior class, shaU make the nomi nation and the Senate shall elect by secret ballot at a special meet ing called by the Student Senate Cabinet. Elections of any form or in any organization are important and should be thought about seriously. Do not vote for someone because he or she is your friend. WiU your friend speak on your behalf to the Executive Board of the College? Will your friend attend Black Stu dent Government Council of NC conferences and report important facts and decisions to the student body? Will your friend bother to ask you what can she do for the students to make social and aca demic life better? If you can answer yes to all of these questions, then vote for your friend. But remember, once she is in office don’t let her actions stop there. Tell your SGA cabinet about programs and legislation that involve students. Let your SGA know that you are concerned about those things that directly affect you, the student. Let your SGA function and let it function for you.
