Library donation
Catherine T. Slay Sugg of Chatham, widow of Harold G. Sugg and formerly of Roanoke, has donated her late husband's personal library to Hargrave Military Academy and Averett College.
During a long career as a newspaperman, Sugg served as vice president and assistant to the publisher of the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot and as editorial page editor of The Roanoke Times & World-News.
He served in various volunteer and civic capacities including membership on the Virginia General Assembly's Legislative Ethics Commission.
During the 1950s, Sugg worked with Lenoir Chambers, Pulitzer Prize-winning editor of the Virginian-Pilot, writing many of the editorials opposing Virginia's ``massive resistance'' to segregation. In that process, he amassed a collection of civil and constitutional rights treatises, as well as works by African-American writers ranging from W.E.B. DuBois to James Baldwin and Stokely Carmichael.
These works, along with books dealing with the Vietnam War era, are the heart of the gift to Hargrave.
In making the gifts to the schools, Mrs. Sugg cited her husband's wish that the library be of benefit to students. Her daughter and son-in-law are alumni of Averett College; her son works at Hargrave.
Ballet master class
Roanoke Ballet Theatre will host a master class taught by Judy Jacobs on March 6 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in its studio at the Jefferson Center in Roanoke.
Jacobs is assistant ballet master and a performer with the Richmond Ballet. The class will also serve as an audition for those interested in participating in the summer program of the Richmond Ballet Center for Dance.
The class fee is $12. The Jefferson Center is at 541 Luck Ave.
For more information, call 345-6099 or 345-8461.
`Art and Technology'
``Art and Technology,'' a hands-on workshop Feb. 28 at Radford University, will introduce a new Internet interface which allows access to a "three-dimensional" environment. Visit a virtual national park, ride a roller coaster or explore ``Jumanji Pavilion,'' a cyberspace incarnation of the house used in the movie.
Participants will ``walk around,'' explore objects and models, build their own models and communicated with others logged onto the same site.
The workshop will be held from 9 a.m. to noon in the Heth Student Center and is free and open to the public.
A lecture by Derrick Woodham, who teaches sculpture and 3-D design at the University of Cincinnati, will take place from 1 to 2 p.m.
Lunch will be available.
