"Twenty Five and Up" sounds
like a bargain basement sale,
but approximately 200 Atlantans
know it's ail organization that
brightens their lives with new
friends and recreation.
To join the Twenty Five and
Up Club, members must be at
least 25 years old and single—
and put 25 cents or more in the
collection cup to pay for the
coffee. The group meets every
Thursday night at Peachtree
Road f Methodist Church acti
vities center.
"We started last October with
six people—in five months the
average attendance has grown to
75 people," said Pat Shafer,
president. Members range in
age from 25 years to "50plus”,
he said, and half of them drive
from communities as far away
as Hapeville, Tucker, Douglas-
ville and Austell. The rapid
growth of the inter-faith group
can be attributed to the obvious
harmony that exists between
members who have discovered a
common bond through the social
activities provided by the club.
Society today is predicated on
the false illusion that there are
just two groups, said Shafer,
‘‘the married people and the
teenagers.” This emphasis
overlooks that third group, the
mature, single adult. "This or
ganization tries to fill their
needs,” he said.
"In some cases," said one
member, " this group helps
those who are trying to re
grasp life, "or perhaps a new
comer to the city finds it a
stepping stone. There are many
people who belong to small su
burban churches where there is
no organization that answers
their needs.
A widower with four sons
said, "I went to parties, but;
I always felt like a fifth wheel.J
I was the oddball at the P.T.AJ
meetings; the dilemma at the*
dinner party. I feel at home*
here.”
"We take our leisure time*
seriously," said one woman,
who is learning to play pool,,
and is an expert at pingpong.,
Another woman said, "I come j
here and find fellowship with;
friendly people—1 don't have to ;
. spend, another lonely Thursday
night at home." There was no
comment from four members/
who were involved in their/
weekly bridge game.
The club's activities and pro
grams are supervised by a six-'
member board of directors that
include an Episcopalian, a Bap
tist, a Methodist, and a Catholic.
The meetings begin with a brief
program. This month members
enjoyed "Candid Camera
Night"—‘slides of their Valen
tine’s party; a marionette and
magic show. Next week Dr.Tom
Whiting, pastor of Peachtree
Methodist Church will give a
brief talk on the meaning of
Easter. Concluding the month’s
programs will be the panel dis
cussion on the subject: "Is It
Still A Man’s World?"
The evening’s activities and
conversations end at 10 p.m.
It is not a late evening, but
Shafer said, "Just ordinary
people have found a place where
they can go for wholesome en
tertainment and share common
interests. Maybe that’s what
makes this news.*’

Still Unsettled
NEW YORK (NC)—The United
Federation of College Teach-
« ers, which has been engaged in
a running battle with St. John's
University for nearly two years,
has rebuffed the university’s
offer to submit one part of the
battle—the firing of 29 teachers
I in 1965—to binding arbitration.
The union said it would
welcome arbitration, but only
if "all of the outstanding issues,
not just the one issue which
: St. John's has selected” are
considered.

But the union declined to
specify what "all j:he outstand
ing issues” were.
St. John’s made its offer to
submit the firings to binding
arbitration March 7. The
university said it would hand
over the matter to the American
Arbitration Association and
abide by whatever decision and
remedies the association
arrived at.
"The university wants this
matter resolved once and for
all,” said Father Joseph Cahill,
C.M., the university president.
The dispute, which had been
smoldering for nearly a year
before, flared into the open
just before Christmas, 1965,
when the university notified 31
teachers—most of them mem
bers of the UFCT—that their
contracts would not be renewed
and that they were not needed
for the rest of that school year.
Two were later reinstated.
The action led to a teachers’
strike, student demonstrations,
loss of a number of faculty
members sympathetic with the
fired teachers, and censure by
educational associations.
Last December, the Middle
States Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools gave St.
John’s a year to show cause
why its accreditation should not
be revoked.
While the major issue has
been the firings, both the union
and the campus chapter of the
American Association of Uni
versity Professors have charg
ed that the university lacks
adequate academic freedom,
does not give the faculty enough
of a role in policy matters,
and that it underpays its
teachers.
But none of these issues were
specified in the UFCT’s latest
rebuff. Nor were they mentioned
in Father Cahill’s subsequent
reply.
"Our offer is clear and fair,"
he said. "We are waiting to
hear from each of the 29 individ
uals concerned.”
