Cook says God, pec
COOK continued from page 1
"If we are to rise above our fellows,
let us give the glory to God and
the people," he said.
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.

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

Mays attained national and international
recognition for his humanitarian
ideas about education and race.
The lecture is held each year to "help
promote the scholarly and human
virtues of Dr. Mays," said McFadden,
holder of the Benjamin E. Mays Professorship
in USC's department of educational
philosophy.
"We aspire to connect a contemporary

Council on the Humanities, and President

Program and the South Carolina

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. Students don't
undertake professional obligations until
they're admitted to the bar, but they

Bessilieu, student vice president of the
program's Board.
"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. "You can't just set up
a food bank in your house," she said.
