History Month. The series will run every Monday starting todi
until Feb. 23.
Two black students walked into the Eckerd cafeteria c
Main Street, sat down and demanded service on Marc
14, I960.
Columbia police arrested the two students, Simc
Bouie from Allen University and Talmadge Neal froi
Benedict College. Soon after, more than 200 blac
students marched on downtown Columbia to protest tl
arrests and segregation in the city's restaurants ari
cinemas, and at USC.
In Orangeburg, March 1960, more than 400 blacks many
of them S.C. State students ? were arrested durir
mass protests of segregated public facilities, restaurant
hotels and movie theaters.
"It was a rough time for blacks in this city and in th
state," said Bouie's sister-in-law Delia Bouie, who sai
Bouie was now a reverend in New York. "I lost conta<
with Simon about three years ago, but I remember his ai
rest. What he did was a pretty good thing."
Bouie's arrest and the stand he took more than 28 yea
ago helped make a difference in the lives of black Colun

lenged systen
As in many Southern states, segregation had existed in
South Carolina since the end of the Reconstruction
:k period. Literacy tests and an all-white Democratic
iy primary made it impossible for blacks to vote.
Three key cases originated out of Columbia in the late
n 1940s and early 1950s which marked the beginnings of
:h change in the segregated system. The cases challenged the
white primary system, demanded bus transportation for
in black students and pointed to the inequalities in the pay of
m black teachers.

? "The vote made a great difference," Simkins said,
lg "We could hire and fire by the ballot box."
s, Simkins said the fight for the vote and an end to
segregation was a righteous one.
le "Taxation without representation is tyranny," she
d said. "We were unrepresented because we didn't have the
;t vote, and there were thousands of black property holders
r- who were taxed. My father was a land owner, and if he
didn't pay his taxes, the state would take his land."

more than show an I D to have an overnight guest, a new
draft for a stricter visitation policy says.
"The Board of Trustees wanted a policy providing safety
and security in accordance with the goals of the University,"
said Jim McMahon of Resident Student Development.
"In response to that, we formed a committee of
students and staff and put together something in
writing."
The draft is now being reviewed by the Residence Hall
Staff and Student Government and will be brought to the
Board of Trustees at some point in the next few months,
he said.
Introduced in the policy is a proposal for a Freshman
Center, which would offer a more restricted visitation
policy (no overnight visitation) and a "living/learning"
atmosphere with extra student services.
"The needs of freshmen are different," McMahon
said. "One of the aspects of the Freshman Center is that it
would have extra programs. We're tying in University 101
