Another was that the company adopt-a first come, first served seating*'arrangement on buses, whites to be seated from the front of tbo bus toward the back and Negroes from the back toward the front.

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¬ eries and substitute home-cooked bakery products. (.’!) That President Turner speak mt on the need for integrated colleges. 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 Hie association. It is apparent that they hope I ho Governor will be pushed to ■ lose State College. If and when .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 in .i-.ee - regntion food distributors. 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. o Sugar Jteim- n e- cry Gives (Continued from Rage One) tors to the present Alumni Scholarship’ Fund drive are: Bearing Chevrolet Company, $150; Annette’s Dairy, $50: A.
