NEWBERRY DEAN WRITES ON UNREST Albert Jabs, dean of students at Newberry College, discusses student unrest in the October 1 issue of “South Carolina United Methodist Advocate.” In the article titled “Evil Triumphs When Good Men Do Nothing,” the Newberry educa tor states, “If the University or college supplies the energy of revolution that destroys so ciety, it may forfeit its own life. Many students and acade mic people are troubled over the purposes of our institu tions.” Jab’s theme was the topic of a four-day meeting in late 1969 sponsored by the Association of Student Governments. “Perhaps,” he declares, “a remark made by one of the conferees summarized the feel ing of the delegates when he said, ‘I guess the answer is brotherly love.’ ” Jabs is a frequent contribu tor to the Methodist magazine and recently was named to its staff as contributing editor.

All parents are urged to make an effort to get their children to the Na tional Guard Armory this Sa turday for the inspection. Re gistration for the bicycles will begin at 9:00. There are many more bi cycles on the streets this year than in the past, so a good safe bicycle will insure less ac cidents this year..

A bicycle race will start at 11:00 for all participants that pass the bicycle inspection. This race will be a cross coun try race through Lynches Woods.

OPERA HOUSE Diagonally across the street from the rear of the Commu nity Hall visitors may view the old Opera House during the Tri centennial Tour in November. According to the Clemson Uni versity School of Architecture, the building “is firmly dated but incompletely documented” and “a very good example of eclectic design from the last quarter of the 19th century”. It is listed in “The National Re gister of Historic Places’V Viewers should note the en trance, the shape and construc tion of window openings, and the rich, heavy brick ornamenta tion. The Newberry Herald of August 25, 1880, stated that the plans were drawn by G. L. Nor man. Contractors were Wells and Cline. The building was de dicated February 1882. For many years the Opera House was the center of cultural and civic activities for the New berry community. Now the ground floor houses the offices of City Hall. Restoration plans are under way and it is hoped that once again the stage will present its performers to Opera House au diences. Except for periods of repair, the four-faced clock in the tower has kept time for Newberry since 1881. The build ing is not open to the public during the tour.
