(1) That President Renner C.
Turner and the school’s all-white
hoard of trustees cancel contracts
with offending suppliers.
(2) That the college, if it has
to, dispense with commercial bak¬

(.’!) That President Turner speak

The boycott and mounting stu¬
dent revolt which accompanies it
are both consequences of the
tale’s attempted crackdown on
| (he NAACP and pro-integration
I forces.
j Two weeks ago, Gov, Rell Tim-
| merman signed an order to inves-
| ligate the power and influence of
(he NAACP at State College, it
1 now being the legislature’s resolve
jthat any public- employe who joins
• tho NAACP will be discharged.
At the time Timmerman signed
!he law, there was no NAACP
chapter on the campus. Now, ne-
.-<-r ling*to Chairman Matthew D.
MeCTdlum of the Orangeburg
brnneh NAACP, more than 300
Slate College students have joined

It is apparent that they hope
I ho Governor will be pushed to

.hi . i: done, an estimated “900 of
them will apply as a body to the
University o1 South Carolina,
Clemson, and the Citadel,” said
Dean Lemuel Haynes of nearby
' laflin College, a Methodist-spon
ored school.
t Inl'lin Undents have joined in
Ik boycott. An estimated (Hit) of
them suspended classes last Mon¬
day to consider action against the

lie-in Haygs said he told them
“that they could quit classes any¬
time for this sort of thing. Any
man who’s interested in dropping
iris haekles is getting an educa-
• ion as far- as I’m concerned.”
Half of Orangeburg County's
population is Negro, and this
town’s Negro colleges are among
its major economic resources.
Omngeburg Negroes responded
last fall with their own boycott
of 23 local stores and distributors
when Negro merchants and farm¬
ers were refused trade. The suc¬
cor-; ot‘ their campaign has been
difficult to measure. Now, joined
by I -lot) students at State College
and G00 at Claflin, the effect of
the boycott appears devastating.
