Sergt. Carpenter testified
that:
THE mail order sale Of con-

CLEMSON, S. c., Jan. 20
(AP).-Harvey CAN'T, first
Negro to be enrolled at Glenn
son College, learns the ways of
campus life today after spend
ing his first night in what was
once an all-white dormitory.
The routine orientation
course called for the 2O-year-
old son of a shipyard worker
from Charleston to mingle
with other new students and
transfer students. The brief
ings were designed to acquaint
newcomers with the geography,
rules and customs of the school.
This was Mr.. Gantt's first
experience in the normal stu
dent-to-student relationship:
the routine of orientation to-
day, signing up for individual
classes tomorrow, and Thurs
days free hours before classes
start on Friday.
Police Cover Campus
When Mr.. CAN'T enrolled
yesterday, police covered the
campus and its environs care
fully, and as many as $50 re-
porters and photographers
dogged his steps. Uniformed
lpatrolmen manned all campus
entrances on the watch for
| Itroublemakers.
Mr.. CAN'T had little chance
to enter into normal relation
ships with other students.
The atmosphere was quiet,
marked by only two minor Incl
dents. Three tires were slaShed
on three highway patrol cars,
and two men accused of max
ing threatening remarks were
removed from the campus by
police.
Despite the calm, restrictions
we're tight during the night.
Newsmen were barred from the
campus after 7:30 pm. Only
persons with homes or offices
on the rolling 400-acre school
grounds could venture abroad
without being turned back by
police or college security forces.
Dimes Alone in Cafeteria
But on the surface, Mr.
CAN'T was being treated by
students and college officials
alike as just another newcomer
He dined last night alone at
a table for six in the huge stu
dent cafeteria, which seats
1000. The noisy buzz OF con-
versation and the clatter OF
knives and forks subsided brief
ly as he entered.
Then the normal sounds re.
sumed. Before Mr.. Can't fin.
ished eating, a student stopped
at his table for a friendly word

Jaycee Membership Drive

Mississippi Jaycee Member
ship Chairman, Don Majors,
of jackson, highlighted the
Summer All-State meeting OF
the State Junior Chamber of
Commerce when he present
ed small, young hog to
each of the nine vice presi-
dents of the service organi-
zation The meeting was held
in Pascagoula.
The hogs are to be used in
a membership growth drive
originated by Majors and
kept secret until this meeting.
The hogs are to be used by
the vice presidents in state
and area contests. The Off
Ger will deliver the hog to
one of his assigned clubs and
the members of that club
must encourage person to
join their chapter for each
pound the pig gains while it
is in their care. Each club
must keep the hog at least
two weeks, and even longer
if they don't match each of
its pounds gained with a new
member.
The hogs are named Alvin,
Betsey, Cleo, Dagmar, Eli,
Fanny, Homer, and Irene to
correspond with the designa-
tons of each of the vice pre-
sident's areas - A, B, c, etc.
The Vice Presidents re-
ceiving the hogs were: Orley
r. Lilly, Jr. of Grenada; Jim
my Mcbride of Ripley; H
Hugh Elkins of Eupora; Mel
Chrestman of Lexington; A.
w. Spike" Nelson of Crys-
tai Springs; Russell Galaher
of Laurel; Dean Cotton of
McComb: David Mcbride of
Hattiesburg and Raymond
Mathers of Gulfport.
Each chapter receiving the
hog must keep it until it has
matched the number of lbs.
gained with new members.
Once this has been accom-
plished, the club may then
deliver the pig to another
club within its area.
Competition will be among
areas, locals ana lnQlVlQualS.
The Area with the most
member-pounds increase, the
local chapter with the most
member-pounds, and all chap
tiers with at least five mem
ber-pounds will be honored
at the state convention in

ton. the individual Javeee
