UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROUJNA Vol. LIU, No. 16 COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, FEBRUARY 1, 1963 FOUNDED 1908 Clemson 2i As Result By Paul H. Valentino (Special to "The Gamecock") CLEMSON ... Careful planning t ind co-operation between college )fficials and state law enforcement officers has resulted in Harvey B. Gantt's admission to Clemson Col r lege being as nearly routine as :ould be expected under the cir :umstances. Every precaution pos sible was made to eliminate outside : 'nterference and give all press - coverage complete co-operation. Arriving at Clemson House, one found himself in the midst of a multitude of highway patrolmen. 1 The exact number of state patrol - men assigned to the Clemson area was never made public; however, on the lighter side it was an nounced during a press conference Babcock Addresses Convention A USC professor - authority on plant pathology - will address garden club members meeting at the University today and tomorrow.

College W Of Coon the number of patrolmen was some what more than usual for a towr of 1600. The highway patrol was used to set up check points at all roads and intersections leading int< the immediate campus area. These points- became referred to by news men as "Checkpoint Charlies." Al: Clemson students and faculty mem bers as well as college employees had been issued I.D. cards, and n< one other than news personnel was permitted to enter the campus un less he possessed an I.D. card. Ther( were several instances in whic} persons were either turned back or required to get out of a car becaus< they did not have cards. Severa high school students had cu classes to drive to Clemson an< were refused admission. Clemson students have been calling the I.D cards "Harvey Cards." One car with two occupants was stopped by several highway patrol men and SLED agents led by Chief J. P. Strom. After talking briefly with the two, Chief Strom re quested they leave the general campus area. Students Arrive Early Clemson students w e r e not scheduled to return to campus un til Friday although a fair number began returning Monday morning to watch Gantt's arrival. Gantt arrived at Tillman Hall at 1:35 p.m., in a car driven by his attorney, Matthew J. Perry of Columbia. There apparently was no visible police escort with Gantt's car although his progress had been followed by radio police cars. As he stepped from his car he was cheered in unison by the students who had gathered along the road leading to the front door of Tillman Hall. There was a noticeable absence of uniformed police officers in the crowd. The absence of uniformed law officers was an aid in preventing any situa tion arising from their presence. The Clemson students conducted themselves In a manner for which they were later highly praised. There were several wisecrack re marks made by individuals; how ever, these remarks were made in a joking manner.
