Student activists return

•Patsy Hill, of the Class of ’6l,
was not a student activist. However,
she was arrested in Seattle
Washington where she teaches school
for picketing stores that didn’t hire
blacks.
•Dorothy Latimore, city coun
cilwoman in Waynesboro. She has
also worked in the Burke County case
before the U.S. Supreme Court
challenging the at-large voting
system.
A panel of the former students
reflected on the change that has taken
place over the past 20 years with
mixed results. Norman said that “the
employment situation has not
changed dramatically. Many lunch
counters closed to avoid integration
and never reopened.”
However, he added, “Our children
have no thoughts about going to the
back of buses and various types of
discrimination. In that sense there
was progress. But in many areas,
there was none.”
William Didley was committed to
nonviolence during the 60s and he
still is. He said his discipline and
philosophy come out of nonviolent
philosophy. “I recommend non
violence because there is no other
win. You may win the battle but not
the war.” Dr. Calhoun explained the
extent of Didley’s commitment.

“When I asked Didley if he wanted
our (community) help against his at
tackers, he said “You don’t under
stand that I am not only nonviolent, I
don’t intend to retaliate.”
Norman is concerned that the
wrong people got evodit for civil
rights movement. “The word has
gone out that civil rights were gained
by big organizations and big name
people. That was not so. There were
two groups. The SNCCS (pronoun
ced snicks) and the slicks. The SN
CCS did the work and the slicks got
the credit.
Didley said that as a student he had
no great appreciation for people who
worked in the background. “I was
young then. People would say, ‘l’m
behind you 100 percent.’ I told them I
wanted them with me, not behind
me.”
He said that began to appreciate
the role of the people in the
background as he matured. The man
who bailed us out of jail was putting
up his home (as security).
Outstanding among the charac
teristics of the student demonstrators
was their discipline, said President
Calhoun. “I have never seen this en
tire college community as close and as
disciplined among themselves as
during those times.”
He said the students were constan
tly grilled—by each other— questions
such as, “What are you going to do
when somebody spits on you or
Philadephia. The Con
ference will take place at the
Philadelphia Civic Center.
The Conference will he
centered around issue work
shops which will offer par
ticipants an opportunity to
discuss public policy
challenges and to adopt a
consunsus statement that
reflects the parts’s
statement of goals and
slashes you with a knife?”
Charles Smith, who was a fresh
man at Paine in 1960, said he was im
pressed by the weekly mass meetings,
held at local churches, conducted en
tirely by students. We were told,
“You don’t need a pen in your pocket
it might be considered a weapon. You
don’t need to write anything now.”
Each student demonstrator was
armed with a dime for an emergency
phone call and three prayers. There
was a prayer before students left the
campus, another before the demon
stration and one afterwards.
A few faculty members volunteered
to work with us, Norman said. They
included Dr. Maurice Cherry, Dr.
Marcus Clayton, Dr. Cecil Powell,
and Dr. Richard Stenhouse. “We
never felt they pushed us, but they
were the ones to whom we could go
for direction.
Dr. Cherry, who now lives in
Atlanta, was here -forto serve on the
panel, but had to leave due to a
family death.
All faculty members were not sup
portive. Some students failed and
were told by their instructors, “You
were involved at the expense of my
class.”
The prevailing faculty attitude, ac
cording to Didley, was: “We admire
what you’re doing, but you have a
primary purpose for being here. You
must do your work.”
principles.
Differences between
Democrats and Republicans
on the issues will be
outlined.

Augustans open
employment agency
Gerald J. Elim and John
E. Hardy recently opened
Augusta’s first minority
owned employment agency,
Garden City Personnel,
Inc., in the 500 Building on
Greene Street.
They said that they
looked at the unem
ployment rate and began to
realize “there are jobs out
there, and if we could get
out and make a good im
pression on employers they
would look at our clients in
the same way they look at
us.”
Elim is president of Gar
den City. Hardy is vice
president. Elim said Garden
City Personnel is mainly
concerned with analyzing
companies’ personnel needs
and assisting prospective
job applicants in securing
meaningful employment.
“We have found that the
most productive applicant
is qualified for the position
and enthusiastic about the
challenges it offers. We try
to match the employee and
the job.” Hardy said,
