Page Two THE BENNETT BANNER FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1978 Keep Christmas season with love Peace, Joy, Happiness, and Love are several words that come to the mi’nds of many when they look at the upcoming holiday season. What do these words really mean. All of these words have different definitions but we are using those which best describe the holiday atmosphere in our microcosm world (Bennett). PEACE is harmony in personal relationships. As sisters, we need to do all we can to get along with each other and listen to the words of a famous anthem, “let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.” By doing this, we can promote better re lationships between ourselves and with the rest of the world. A very glad feeling is what is called JOY. This delightful feeling is spread abundantly during the Christmas season. Peo ple freely give of themselves to others. It is a time of giving and sharing. It is high time for more joy to be spread through this campus rather than discontentment and constant complain ing. ... r ■ , Luck and fortune are basic characteristics of .loy s cousin, HAPPINESS. As college students, we are very fortunate to be able to afford a college education. Many college administrators work endless days and nights trying to raise funds to keep us in school. We are lucky to have such caring administrators, fac ulty members, relatives, peers and friends who care enough to make one more day in our lives and in our days at Bennett pleasant, livable, carefree, and enjoyable. Remember these things and happiness will always come to your life wherever you The greatest of all these feelings is that of LOVE. Without this, the rest would be lifeless. Love is a strong affection or liking of someone or something. This is the ultimate feeling. Without love, this campus and the world would be chaotic. Since this is the season of advent, which represents the com ing of the Christ child, we shall never forget his everlasting love for us. All he asks is that we love one another. Peace, Joy, Happiness, and Love. Let’s enjoy these four emo tions to the utmost, especially because it is the Christmas sea son and because we would like to promote a brighter future for our world (Bennett) and for the real world. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!! For Belles Onl nly Be "tke ^irl witK tke kai gir by Dotty Brown Pressing, curling, perming, blow-drying, and cutting; and still we can’t get that perfect hair-do everytime. Okay, so you’ll settle for half the time. Still, most of us can’t get the perfect hair-do half the time. Why is it then that some women are fortunate enough to have great-looking hair nearly every time we see them? Is it the hair texture? the products? There are at least two ladies here at Ben nett who seem to have come up with the ideal haircare routine for their hair. Halequinn “Di-Di” Gaynor, a freshman dietetics ma jor from Cleveland, Ohio, and Le- nora Dowe, a sophomore political science major from Roanoke, Va. share their secrets with us. Di-Di, with gold-frosted, black hair, thinks of hair-care as being routine as brushing teeth. Di-Di’s hair type is normal/coarse, and she has made it a rule to wash it every Thursday night. A thorough shampoo and good conditioning are also a must in her plan. She said, “Since my hair is cut in layers, I pretty much know how it is go ing to look from one day to the next. But to ensure this, I have my ends clipped about every two weeks.” There are some things that Di-Di will never do to her Grammar Quiz Answers SI o:^ esn -g p9:^d0Jt Hsiuij -g spuij su9:;8n 'Z S99S sq.rq 'X : :^no p9ssojo aq pinoqs SuiAvonoj aqx air hair. “No perms and no hard pressing!” she said with a final tone. “Wash, condition, blow-dry, a warm pressing around the edges, roll it up, and I’m ready to go!” Lenora feels that “no matter what you do to your hair, if a good hair cut isn’t included, then your hair still won’t look good.” Keeping her hair trimmed and a once-a-week shampoo and condi tioner are a must that Lenora be lieves anyone will benefit from. “If you find something good for your hair stick to it,” she said. Le nora has come up with her own methods in caring for her auburn hair; Regular hot oil treatments, cholesterol treatments, and a hair sheen with lanolin instead of “grease” are included in these methods of hair care. Both Di-Di and Lenora stress consistency. Establishing a good hair care routine and being con- sistant with it is the key to days and days of your favorite hair style. Your hair type may deter mine the type or brand of prod ucts that you use. Whichever products you find to be satisfy ing, continue to use those same products. According to Di-Di and Lenora, constantly changing prod ucts is a “no-no” in hair care. Go on and experiment with products and try a few routines as to how often you wash, treat, cut, etc. Be sure to follow direc tions on all products you use. Once you are satisfied, when you finally devise a plan that will give you the look you want, stop play ing around and stick with it. Per haps some day you too will be “the girl with the hair.” 1978-79 Editor-in-Chief I"!!"®" Associate Editor Debbie Hodges Adviser Dr Virginia Tucker Layout Editors Beverly Rumley, Kim Haynes Circulation Manager Janis Badson Cartoonist S.

How can these organizations ac complish their goals without stu dent support, these leaders fret? The strength of any organiza tion lies within its members. With out members there would be no organization. The dynamics of an organization, however, is not de pendent on numbers or size, but rather on the commitment of its members. Here, at Bennett, there is a small percentage of students who are involved in campus organiza tions and activities and who are committed to accomplishing or ganizational goals. Whatever stu- dent-sponsored activities or changes that are seen on campus are the results of this small group of students. Without one hundred- per-cent student participation and, sadly, without even fifty-per-cent student participation, goals are being reached. Of course, these goals would probably be reached more quickly and more smoothly with greater student participation. Knowing this, the minority who work with campus organizations often feel frustrated when they drive them selves to a frazzle and the rest of the student body sit back and watch. However, considering the fact that each of this minority is actually doing the job of several people, those students who are actively involved are doing a pretty good job. Nevertheless, these students would certainly like to make their operations run more efficiently by getting greater student participation. However desirable, trying to obtain one-hundred-per-cent par ticipation from the the student body is unrealistic. Often, even keeping present membership levels stabilized seems an almost impossible task. As student lead ers go about their back-breaking jobs, they should realize that they are actually encouraging other students to become involved by producing quality performances. No one wants to be associated with a sloppy, uncoordinated or ganization, but who doesn’t want to be a part of an organization with a reputation for effective ness. Student leaders, you know who you are. Give yourselves a hand, but keep up the good work. Con tinue to search for ways to im prove yourselves and our campus. In the long run, your overload may be more evenly distributed among the students. Remember: everybody loves a winning team. Interfaith Center aids during exams Terry Lewis The Student Interfaith Center will be open for free hot refreshments during the week of exams. All students and faculty are welcome to visit the center in between exams for rest, study and relaxation. This is made possible by generous gifts of a few local pastors and churches. Hours will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. between December 7-15. GRAMMAR QUIZ Cross out all verbs in each group which would not be appropriate after the noun, pronoun or help ing verb given. 1.
