McKissick exhibit tells story behind the fight for integration in S.C. By NATALIE NETZEL THE GAMECOCK In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling, McKissick Museum is hosting an exhibition to educate area residents about this extraordinary case. The event, titled “Courage: The Story that Changed America,” opens Saturday and is sponsored by the Levine Museum of the New South of Charlotte, N.C. The struggle for equality in education began in Clarendon County with the filing of Briggs v. Elliot. The Rev. Joseph A. De Laine was the force behind the fight in the 1950s. He and his family were ridiculed and tormented. His struggles are illustrated through visuals and recordings of the De Laine children speak of witnessing crosses burning in their yard. The children, Jo Jr., Ophelia and B.B., are all still alive. An on-campus appearance by the children is in the works. The exhibit also includes contrasting murals depicting the differences between white schools and the poor, rural black schools during segregation. According to Jason Shaiman, curator of traveling and temporary exhibitions, students will have the opportunity to witness an aspect of history that emphasizes the “need to question the educational system” of both the past and present. Shaiman stressed that the educational system in the South has come a long way since its divided beginnings but still has much to accomplish. He has hopes that students will come out and experience this important facet of S.C. history. Tours will be available, along with lectures and symposiums. Shaiman said he hoped law, religious studies and women’s studies students, among others, would become involved. The Institute for Southern Studies and the African-American Studies program are presenting a series of programs in conjunction with the exhibit. No announcement has been-made yet of the programs’ content. Regardless of visitors’ backgrounds, the. exhibit promises to be evocative. Covering more than 2,000 square feet, it is located in the second floor gallery. Students can visit between 11 a.m. and 3 pm with no charge. The museum is also open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. but is closed on Sundays, as well as state and university holidays. The exhibit will run through February 2005, and a reception will be held at the end of October to bring in visitors. Museum Director Lynn Robertson, in the fall edition of the museum newsletter, Under the Dome, said she is ecstatic and “happy that we were able to partner with the Levine (Museum) and bring this important exhibit to campus.” “It is a well crafted and powerful experience.” Comments on this story? E-mail gamecockfeatures@givm.sc.edu ‘Bachelor’ winner Schefft to star on show to find her perfect match By R.D. HELDENFELS KNIGHT RIDDER NEWSPAPERS Jen Schefft says her family is excited about her starring in the next round of “The Bachelorette,” which will include camera crews coming to their home. “Luckily, they’ve done it before,” the 28-year-old public relations consultant said. Yes, this is the same Jen Schefft who made a match on “The Bachelor” in 2003. Andrew Firestone, a descendant of the tire company family now working in sales for his family’s Firestone Vineyard, chose Jen — although the relationship did not last. So why on earth has she turned to reality TV for matchmaking again? “I asked myself the same question at the beginning,” Schefft said from her Chicago home. “1 just couldn’t say no. ... It’s a great opportunity to meet someone.” It’s also an opportunity that will be different from that facing the shows’ other bachelors and bachelorettes. Schefft is already involved in casting the 25 bachelors she will have to choose from, meeting some of them in New York City (where the show will be set this time) and in Chicago. Although the producers will weed out some candidates, Schefft said of the final 25 that “I’ll know each of them or have talked to them or have seen them on tape before the show starts.” But she’s still working from a pool of guys who are searching for love on reality TV. “Not to paint all reality contestants with the same brush,” Wade Paulsen of the Web site Reality TV World wrote recently, “but we merely want to suggest to Jen that perhaps wannabe reality-TV stars aren’t the right group in which to find many people who aren’t self centered and self-absorbed.” Schefft’s romantic resume certainly suggests that. She still says Firestone “is definitely my type” and during their engagement, they often looked like one of those cutest couple selections from a high school yearbook. But in a matter of months they had broken up. “We were traveling so much for the winery,” she said. “I got lost in it all. I like to be settled. When we were living in San Francisco, we weren’t there for more than 30 days of the six months we were together. There was a real lifestyle difference.” That breakup maintained a nothing-lasts tradition which continues with “Bachelor” stars to this day. (“The Bachelorette,” in contrast, has produced a marriage and a still-holding engagement.) Schefft hit the rocks again after being linked to Chicago’s Bill Rancic, winner of NBC’s “The Apprentice,” only to see that fail, too. She told one newspaper that Rancic was “too similar” to Firestone. And all this played out across not only the Internet but TV and the pages of reality TV-loving publications. Schefft seems to rival Jennifer Lopez as cover fodder for Us magazine, and People did a story on her “Bachelorette” selection that included a current photo and three from her childhood. “People know who I am, and know my love life,” Schefft said. So does she really have trouble meeting men? “It’s easy to meet people,” she said. “It’s not always easy to meet ' the right person.” By doing “The Bachelorette,” she is hoping that romantic success is based at least partly on gender differences. ■ MUST SEE TV Continued from page 5 “CSI: New York” follows forensic investigators working in the Big Apple. Gary Sinese (“Forest Gump”) stars. Akin to “Rookie of the Year” and “Angels in the Outfield,” the CBS series “Clubhouse” tells the story of 16-year-old Pete Young. A batboy for the fictitious New York Empires, Young finds a father figure in the team’s equipment manager (Christopher Lloyd) and a friend in the star third baseman (Dean Cain). Fox is known for innovative and controversial programming. New shows include “The Next Great Champ” and “Renovate My Family.” On “Champ” 12 aspiring prizefighters hope to win a cash prize, a title fight, and a contract with Oscar De La Hoya’s company, Golden Boy Promotions. Tune in to see why these show almost didn’t make it to air. Son of “Life-strategist” Phil McGraw, Jay McGraw hosts the life improvement show “Renovate My Family.” A team made up of a stylist, interior designer and a construction crew brings families closer to their life goals while restoring their house, health and esteem.
