That awareness came through a spontaneous "guilty feeling" when three civil rights workers were murdered in Mississippi in the summer of 1964. Liz "wanted to do something," so she gathered five Wheaton classmates, made weekly trips to Boston's Roxbury neighborhood to tutor Negro children. Liz recruited more student-teachers, created a program that now includes 60 Wheaton girls. She found the work so satisfying that she spent two of her college summers living and working full time in the slums of Hartford...

Students will also no longer need the signatures of their own department chairmen or head tutors for independent studies, only those of the person sponsoring their work and, if it is a junior faculty member, that of his department's head tutor.

Tutoring, which not only helps the young black in a most productive way but also establishes a genuine one-to-one relationship, is widely regarded as a key opportunity for the concerned white. Small discussion groups provide another fruitful area...
