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.

Years”.
There will be election of of
ficers, and the remainder of
the meeting will be devoted to
discussion of the Newberry
County Celebration of the State
Tricentennial.
“This will be one of our most
important meetings,” Mr. Smith
said, “The success of our Tri
centennial Celebration will de
pend largely upon the members
attending this meeting, hearing
what is going to happen, and
offering to help during the week
of November 8-14.”
Interested persons who are
not members of the Society are

BICYCLE INSPECTION AND
RACE TO BE HELD THIS
SATURDAY
Saturday, October 17 the New
berry Police Department and
the Newberry Recreation De
partment will conduct a bicycle
race and an inspection for all
bicycle riders.
There will be a $.15 charge
for the inspection. This money
will cover the cost of the bicy
cle inspection sticker and the
registration card. 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..
Police Chief Schumpert stated
that the roads leading to the
National Guard Armory will be
heavily patrolled so that the
participants may ride their bi
cycles if they wish to do so.
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. The race will be run in
age groups and awards will be
given in each age group.
For further information con
cerning the inspection or race
call the Recreation Department

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.
