C.—College placement officers from ten states participated in a six day develop ment institute at the Holiday Inn- Four Seasons, Sunday through Friday, Oct. 12-17. The 1980 Institute for New Ca reer Counseling and Placement Officers were sponsored by Col lege Placement Services Inc. of Bethlehem, Pa., and were hosted by the placement offices of A&T State University and Bennett College.

Sessions were held on labor Andrea Burch Founders’ day celebration con cluded with the third annual parents’ weekend. The activities during the week end included the Faculty-Staff follies in the little theatre.

Dean Bragg is very confident about the proposal being a success and especially about the increased activities attracting attention to the snack bar. However, if the increased activities don’t attract market information, career devel opment services, employer per ceptions of career counseling and placement services, and writing goals and objectives for career development services. The visiting placement officers also toured some of the area college place ment offices. Speakers for the sessions in cluded Dr. Mabel P. Phifer, direc tor of long-range planning and development for the Robert R. Moton Memorial Institute; and Alva C. Cooper, president of the CPS Board of Directors.

The director of the career ser vices center, Jacquelyn Jeffers, lectured on the topic “An Option Worth Considering.” President Isaac H. Miller Jr. lectured also to the topic “State of the College.” The parents were invited to dine in the dining hall with their daughters for lunch, to give the parents a chance to experience a usual college meal. There were mini-conferences for the parents, faculty and staff in the Union coffee house. This gave parents a chance to meet the fac ulty as well and talk about any problems their daughter might have experienced. The banquet in the dining hall later that evening honored those staff and faculty members who have been with the Bennett family 25 and 35 years. The residence halls were opened to parents, to give them a chance attention, Bragg says, “We are prepared to keep the snack bar open for the year.” This proposal would, if ap proved, create a new atmosphere around campus, a positive at mosphere, says Bragg. It will give students another alternative to entertaining their guests in the parlor. It will also give students somewhere to gather and socialize and prevent students from having to leave campus for a night time snack. The proposal was scheduled to be presented to the Executive Council on Wednesday and Thurs day, Oct. 15 and 16, 1980. Dean Bragg expressed a desire to leave the council with an answer to the new proposal. Pamela Y.

Under the musical direction of Connors, the group’s album “Celestial Sky” is heading for the stars. Side one begins with a soaring tune called “You’re a Star.” This song introduces us to the unique day institute ter-Greene, director of cooperative education of Temple University; Cheryl Basye, corporate college recruiter of Southland Corpora tion; Robert W.

The parents were also invited to en joy some of the entertainment throughout the halls and meet the residence staff. The parents were invited to worship with the Bennett family at St. Matthews United Methodist Church, the founding church of Bennett College. The weekend concluded with the Founders’ Day Convocation in Annie Merner Pfeiffer Chapel. The address at the convocation was from Theresa Hoover, who is the associate general secretary of the women’s division board of global ministries of the United Methodist Church. Dear Claire, I am having serious problems dealing with a “false friend.” In fact, I took this so called friend home with me and she came back talking about my family and friends. I have a very short tem per and I'm writing you for some advice on how I should handle telling her off politely and intel ligently. Otherwise I am going to physically hurt her. “Mad” Dear Mad, Before you confront your “false friend,” or use any unwise tactics to handle the situation, you should be absolutely sure she said things about your family and friends that would cause you to feel this way. By doing this, you could honestly confront her in a responsible man ner without accusing her of some thing she isn’t guilty of. Dear Claire, Please help my bleeding heart. I’ve fallen in love with an “Aggie” and it’s just not working out right. I've only seen him once this year and we didn’t get to talk that much because of curfew. I keep C.P.A. firm. Some of Stevens’ hobbies are reading, jogging, and body build ing. Stevens also enjoys karate and acquired his black belt in September. He plans to start a karate class at Bennett in the near future. Stevens is also writing a book on American Pitt Bull Terriers. Stevens said, “I love Bennett, I sound of Ralph Jones, Billy Mc Coy, and Darryl Munyungo Jack son. These three men are the heart of the Starship Orchestra. The next song “New York, New York” is the most accurate de scription of Manhattan ever re corded. The tune portrays all of the wheeling and dealing of the big city life. Another favorite on this side is “All Those Things (Aquillas Coisas Todas).” The Latin-sound ing melody is enhanced with the charming voice of an unidentified songstress. The brass instruments also give a chilling effect. On side two, “The Genie” has a catchy beat. The song is full of The leader is a great servant. The Master of Men expressed the ideal of leadership in a democracy when he said, “And whosoever will be chief among you let him be your servant.” The leader sees things through the eyes of his followers. He puts himself in their shoes and helps them make their dreams come true. The leader does not say, “Get going!” Instead he says, “Let’s go!” and leads the way. He does not walk behind with a whip; he is out in front with a banner. The leader assumes that his fol lowers are working with him, not for him. He considers them part ners in the work and sees to it that they share in the rewards. He glorifies the team spirit. The leader duplicates himself in others. He is a man-builder. He helps those under him to grow big because he realizes that the more big men an organization has the stronger it will be. The leader does not hold people down, he lifts them up. He reaches out his hand to help his followers scale the peaks. The leader has faith in people. everytime I read them, I cry. I know he loves me, because he said so. It’s just that he’s going through a hard time with his parents. If you can’t help me I’ll just die. I guess I just have to work around his attitude. If not what can I do? Please tell me. I’m scared I’ll lose him. Please, help! Bleeding Heart Dear Bleeding Heart, Perhaps you should evaluate this young man a little more care fully to see if he is as serious as he said he is. Try to arrange a time when the two of you can thoroughly discuss the relation ship. If he is having a hard time with his parents, that doesn’t ex plain why you’ve only seen each other once this year. If you feel neglected and aren’t getting any fulfillment from the relationship, tell him how you feel, and maybe he will become more serious. If he doesn’t show any interest I suggest that you leave him alone for awhile until he gets himself together. really feel at home. I enjoy the parties and get-togiethers that are available for the faculty. This helps me feel a part of the or ganization. Also my wife enjoys the faculty parties which help her feel a part of Bennett.” “I feel Bennett serves a definite purpose in the community. I hope Bennett will grow increasingly as it continues to fulfill that need,” Stevens added. is a hit soft jazz at the beginning and end. The middle carries hard keyboard sounds, which account for an even balance. The title cut, “Yesterday,” and “Serious Business” are three dis appointments. All are too monotonous. The final song on the LP is “Give Me Some Skin.” This active tune has African-sounding drums throughout the song. A few prim itive screams can also be heard. The album is a definite must for anyone who loves Norman Connors. If you like Connors, this LP will be nice to have in your collection. At any rate The Star ship Orchestra is a winner. He believes in them, trusts them and thus draws out the best in them. He has found that they rise to its high expectations. The leader uses his heart as well as his head. After he has looked at the facts with his head, he lets his heart take a look, too. He is not only a boss—he is also a friend. The leader is a self-starter. He creates plans and sets them in mo tion. He is both a man of thought and a man of action—both dream er and doer. The leader has a sense of hu mor. He is not a stuffed-shirt. He can laugh at himself. He has an humble spirit. The leader can be led. He is not interested in having his own way, but in finding the best way. He has an open mind. The leader keeps his eye on high goals. He strives to make the efforts of his followers and him self contribute to the enrichment of personality, the achievement of more abundant living for all and improvement of civilization.

Most people tell me it will all pass and that I will adjust; however it seems as if I’m making no progj-ess. I’ve always had a hard time making friends. What should I do? Signed Depressed & Home-Sick Dear Depressed & Home-Sick, In order for you to overcome your homesickness, you have to truly want to overcome it and do something about it. Get involved in activities that will encourage you to keep your mind on other things. Think about the positive aspects of being away from home. Look forward to the times that you will be able to spend at home. If you aren’t accustomed to being away from home for long periods of time, it is going to take you a while to adjust. If you have a hard time making friends, don’t worry about how hard it is for you to make them. Concentrate on the many friends you will make in the future. Founders’ Day ends well New hours considered for snack bar (Continued from Page 6) Connors’ album Bleeding heart turns to Claire for advice and solutions reading the letters he wrote over the summer. It is very painful; The leader is...
