22 Spend Week in CORE Work
By Martha Teitelbaum
During spring break in the last school term, 21 students and former students and one faculty member of KU went to Louisiana on a CORE sponsored project.
The group was split in half. Eleven students went to Bogalusa and 11 went to Jonesboro.
The Egalalusa group included the faculty member, Mildred Dickeman, assistant professor of anthropology. The project for the group was voter registration.
THE STUDENTS who went to Jonesboro had a specific goal. During the nine days they spent there, they helped in the rebuilding of a Negro Baptist church burned down by Klansmen because it was a center of civil rights activities.
One of the students in Jonesboro was Loretta Estelle. She explained that donations paid for the trip to Louisiana, and that the students went down in three cars.
Miss Estelle was surprised at the attitude of the southern Negroes toward the students. "They were more friendly than you can imagine," she said. Miss Estelle added that she felt the white students who went to Jonesboro began to understand what it was like to be a Negro in the South.
THE FINAL RESULT was that the foundation and floor of the church were rebuilt. Students from another university were supposed to come down after the Lawrence students left to finish the rebuilding.
After the spring trip, two members of the Lawrence chapter of CORE decided to stay down and work for a longer period. Geraldine Maddocks was there for three months and only recently returned. She worked as a secretary in the southern regional office of CORE.
The other student who remained in Louisiana is Pamela Smith, one of
the successful defendants in the KU sit-in case. She is a field worker.
THE SPRING PROJECT was expanded to a summer program. Volunteers were asked to help in voter registration, freedom schools, community centers, and community organization. The project started June 10 and ends Aug. 30.
The volunteers for the program attended a one-week training institute held in Mississippi in mid-June. Following this they were assigned to various projects in the South.
Richard Burke, assistant professor of human relations, said the volunteers must be at least 18 and self-supporting.
A NEW GROUP which started as a result of CORE projects in the South and which seems to be in direct conflict with CORE's philosophy of non-violence is the Deacons for Defense of Justice. This group believes in striking back when hit.

JAMES GUNN, chairman of the screening subcommittee, said the Inter-Century Seminar will launch the celebration. However, the Metropolitan Opera National Co. is scheduled to appear in late March, prior to the seminar.
IN AN EFFORT to share the Centennial with the state, the "Speakers' Performing Artists" service and the Centennial Observance Committee are setting up two Concert and Lecture Series circuits in 10 selected Kansas communities.
