The program ended with a response by Andrew Billingsley, professor in the department of sociology and the AfricanAmerican Studies program. "We must all remember the profound relevance of Mays' thoughts on the issues today," Billingsley said. The lecture was sponsored by McFadden and the College of Education. Mays, a South Carolina native and contemporary of Martin Luther King Jr., was elected president of Morehouse, which gained recognition as an outstanding liberal arts college under his leadership. Pro Bono PRO BONO continued from page 1 helping fourth-graders with their reading. "But every Monday morning when I go to help those students and see the smiles, it puts my career goals into perspective." The Latin term "pro bono," though popularly associated with the legal profession, is translated as "for the public good." (The original term, "pro bono publico," has over the years been abbreviated to its more recognizable current form.) USC's Pro Bono Program is flavored by this more general interpretation. About two-thirds of the organizations the program is associated with have clear ties to law, such as the Richland County Guardian Ad Litem Pro lUJl ' ' ? 1$^ - "?: > 'M >* ' - "!& "Hp '+:~* . - - w CAROLII iple key to education Mays attained national and international recognition for his humanitarian ideas about education and race.

"We aspire to connect a contemporary c/>hnlar wVin may Viayo chiHioH wifh Dr. Mays or may have been a fellow colleague."

Law students can gain career-related experience with those organizations. But others are simply causes in need of time and attention. "The program gives a natural outlet to a lot of students who are inclined to do community service anyway," School of Law Dean John Montgomery said. "It gets them thinking about lawyers being community-oriented." Also, Montgomery said, the program complements the S.C. Bar's pro bono program, which is recognized as one of the best in the nation.

"I came to law school with a grand idea of saving the world. Being involved reminds me of that. It has given me a lot of pleasure and accomplishment." Bessilieu, who has been involved in several pro bono projects, led a team effort involving eight students to collect food donation laws from all 50 states. Second Harvest, a national food bank, will soon be able to post the laws on its Web site, which will streamline and strengthen the food donation process, she said.
