6 P.M., the Rev. George Walker,
oastor of Asbury Methodist
i Church, Savannah, will be the
speaker for Vesper services.
On Monday. Fehnnrv 29, the
SSC chapter? of the YMCA a:vl
YWCA will sponsor a special as¬
sembly program at 12 noon.
Rabbi Allan Tarshish of Charles¬
ton, South Carolina, will be the
general assembly speaker o n
Ma 1 ch 1. Dr. Tarshish has tx’en
spiritual leader of Temple Beth
Eiohini in Charleston since 1947.
This temple is the oldest reform
congregation in the United States.
Dr. Tarshish lectures on college
campuses under the auspices of
The Jewish Chautauqua Society,
an organization disseminating au¬
thentic information concerning Ju¬
daism, as part of an educatio-M
program.
A sacred program, Z.;.r m-i..-
Song, for use in college chape an i
other religious services, will be
pre.-ented by Hobart Mitchell of
New York City at 12 noon, Wed¬
nesday, March 2.
Sermon-in-Song is a synthesis of
sacred music and the spoken word.
Well-known sacred songs, oratorio
arias, and spirituals are integrated
into these sermon texts, and the
t.ansitions from speaking to sing¬
ing throughout are accomplished
without any break in continuity.
A Quaker in faith, Hobart Mit¬
chell has developed Sermon-in-
Song as a means of expressing
his religious convictions through
his talents of singing and writing.
Sermon-in-Song is a unique and
compelling experience.
At the College-wide assembly on
March 3, the speaker will he Dr.
1 Harry V. Richardson of Atlanta.
Dr. Richardson is president of the
Atlanta Interdenominational Mins-
sterial Association and former
president of Gammon Thelogical
Seminary.

arrested, the movement was con-,
tinued at the four downtown stores.
At Nashville, McClellans Five and
10 Cent Store shut down following
an interracial sitdown of 150 stu¬
dents.
One of the more astute observa¬
tions to be made of this sitdown
movement came from Harold C.
Fleming, executive director, South¬
ern Regional council, an interra¬
cial group of Southern leaders
headquartered in Atlanta, whose
aim is the improvement of race
relations.
Fleming said: “The lunch count-
er ‘sit-ins’ demonstrate something
that the white community has been
reluctant to face: the mounting
determination of Negroes to be rid
of all segregated barriers.”
“Let's Be Just”
As if in echo to his statement
were some of the signs carried by
Negro picketers and sit-downers in
various locations. One in Raleigh,
N. C., read “Let’s Be Just for a
Change;” another read, “Tempor¬
arily Closed. Why?”
Another note was injected into
the picture when a federal judge
turned down a plea to break rac¬
ial segregation in a Baltimore res¬
taurant. The plaintiff was Miss
Sara Slack, employed by the New
York Amsterdam News, who had
been refused service at the Atlan¬
tic White Tower System, Inc.,
when she stopped there in June,
1957. She was told she could buy
food, but not eat it in the restau¬
rant.
The court ruled that the matter
of service was a private, not a
public matter.
Great Books Discussion Group
The recently organized Great
Books Discussion Group will con¬
sider Sophocles’ Antigone at its
third meeting orf Wednesday night
February 24, at 8 P. M., in the
Seminar Room of the College Lib-
rary. The Great Books Discussion
Group is a project of the Great
Books Foundation, a non-profit
organization that encourages peo¬
ple to read and meet together to
discuss great books. The group is
locally sponso-ed by the Savan¬
nah Slate Coflege Library as a
paid of its services to the com¬
munity.
The Great Books Foundation
contends that “The Great Books
speak directly to every man, of
himself and of his human con¬
cerns. Their voices are original,
forceful, clear. They have for
generations been widely read by
thoughtful men, have influenced
men - s personal histor}8s and the
wide r history of their recorded
history of their recorded acts .
-
B((th tjmeless and tinie l y , they
deal with our basic problems, the
persistent questions that each man
asks himself, every society is forc¬
ed to deal with — now and always.
Where men and women read the
Great Books - whe n they assemble
to exchange understanding , and
evaluation of these books, they also
join an old and honorable eommun-
ity. That community is the gather-
j n g of seekers. Central to it, sus-
taining and animating it, are those
thinkers—from Plato to our con¬
temporaries—who offer us, in age¬
less books, their sense of truth.”
SSC Nursery School PTA
The Savannah State College
Nursery School PTA recently en¬
joyed films on activities in nur¬
sery schools in England and
America.
An informal discussion was held
on how various activities help the
child develop physically, emotion¬
ally socially and mentally. Mrs.
Geraldine Abernathy and Mrs.
Tillie M. Thomas were in chaige
of the program. Refreshments were
served by Mesdames Simpson, Rob¬
bins and Robinson.
The January meeting was high¬
lighted with a lively discussion
dealing with problems of the pre¬
school child in the home. Mrs.
Margaret Robinson was in charge
of the program. Mesdames Left-
wich, Moore and Philson served
refreshments at the close of the
meeting.
... I feel that the Commission has
been most fortunate to have a man
with your wide experience in civil
rights give guidance and direction
1 an important part of our work.
Your more than thirty years of
experience in this field; your en¬
thusiasm, initiative and devotion
of heart and mind to your assign¬
ment, has made a strong impact
upon our work, and we are going
to miss you. I know what a great
sacrifice you made in leaving your
law practice to join our staff, and
I understand your need to return
to it.” %
Attorney Kuykendall, former
First Assistant City Attorney of
Indianapolis, Indiana, was honored
as Indiana’s Civil Rights’ “Man of
the Year” in 1957. He was form¬
erly a member of the U. S. Nation¬
al Commission for UNESCO.
Ch'BibU
Therefore all things what-
»oever ye would that men
should do to you, do ye even (
so to them: for this is the law |
and the prophets.—(St. Mat¬
thew 7:12.)
That ia the Golden Rule—
and who is there among us who
would not subscribe to it? But
in the daily rush and hurry of
our lives, so many of us forget
to apply it—and to live it. Thus
do we hurt ourselves, as we
hurt others.
