Gantt won a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision yester day directing his admission as the first Negro to all-whit,e Clemson College. South Carolina officials an nounced they will appeal to . the Supreme Court. The 4th ■ Circuit Court unani mously reversed U.S. Dist. Judge C. C. Wyche of South Carolina and directed him to order Gantt admitted to Clemson in the spring term which begins Feb. 1. Wyche ruled last month that the 20-year-old Negro had not proved he had been denied admission be cause of his race. Clemson con tended that Gantt, an architectur al student at lowa State Uni versity, had not met its entrance requirements. ... GANTT'S ATTORNEYS argued ;tbat every time he complied with entrance requirements new ones were added.

The entire Panhellenic Council would have to vote on the proposal, she ex plained. If Panhel approves the idea, then the trio could be invited to perform as part of the Greek Week functions, she said. If, however, the council, rejects the proposal, the Kingston Trio would have to be sponsored sole ly by IFC and not as part of Greek Week festivities, Miss Ken nedy said. Since Panhel and IFC share the total costs of the week, all activi- either by court order or voluntar ily, admitted Negro students to formerly all-white institutions of higher learning. Wyche said in his decision that it was the policy of South Carolina to discourage but not prohibit Negroes from enrolling in all white institutions. The appellate court commented, “The ' distinction draWn between prohibition and discouragement is a novel one in legal literature and we must hold it unacceptable.” IN SOUTH CAROLINA, State Sen. Edgar A. Brown of Barnwell, a member of the Clemson Board of Trustees, said plans already have been made for an appeal to the Supreme Court. Brown said the question is whether the high court will grant a stay of, the prder directing Gantt’s admission to Clemson next month, pending a decision on whether it will'review the case. Chief Justice Earl Warren, who has supervision over the 4th Cir cuit, normally would decide the question of a stay, although aiiy justice has the authority. ministration-Perkasie) was aca demically ineligible.

University Civil Defense Plan Nears Successful Completion An investigation to provide adequate fallout.shelter space for all -students, faculty and staff members has been in progress since the early part of December and is moving toward a success ful completion, William F. Fatula, project head, said. Fatula explained that this com mittee had received phase two of the National Fallout Shelter Sur vey during the vacation. This survey sent a list of possible shel ter areas,' many of which are located in the residence areas. To be irjeluded in the report, the shelter spaces had to have a protection factor of 100, or the potential of being converted to that degree of protection. They also had to have a capacity of 50 people, and adequate ventilation. The capacity was figured on the basis of 10 square feel per person if the s'"?Her is ]"':''fcd Froth Seeks FIVE CENTS Representatives of a new campus humor magazine v/JJI be asked to clarify sections of their proposed constitution today by the Committee on Student Organizations. In closed sessions, the Committee has already reviewed the constitution. George L. Donovan, committee chairman, said yesterday that there are several phrases In the conslitu ed. tion which could be strengther The constitution was per; Buscanics, co-editor of the former Penn State Froth, which lost Its charter last Oct. 23. THE ACTION was taken against the original humor magazine be cause of a failure on the part of those concerned to live up to its constitution. The new constitution is being sponsored by a committee which was formed by the Undergrad uate Student Government closely following the charter suspension. Although a long period of study by both committees has finally led to definite action, it may still be a long while before the cam pus has a replacement for the Penn State Froth. Fred Waelchi, member of both committees, pointed out yester day that it took the reviewing committee quite a while to finish the Panhellenic constitution which they considered last term. That constitution was just a little longer than the document under study now. Speaking optimistically, Waelchli said that although it may take awhile for the constitution to gain approval, he sees no "major problems.” above the ground level or 500 cubic feet in underground loca tions. The areas fitting these speci fications show only 12,880 spaces. J. Campbell Lester, State College director of civil defense, said. This indicates that all available campus shelter space will be oc cupied by students, he explained. The National Survey is being supplemented by Fatula’s com mittee. They are now investi gating shelter areas which would be safe, but which would accom modate.less than 50 people. Other efforts made by the com mittee to provide a civil defense program for the University were the testing of Old Main’s ampli fication system for the warning signal, and the University Bower Plant for the possibility of remote control operation in the event of a nuclear attack. The' operation of the p r .

Robert G. Bernrcuter, chairman of this eommiitce, would not com mit himself as to when his com mittee would be able to consider the matter if the constitution were referred to it. He merely said that the com mittee would consider it "when ever the members decided to do so.” DONOVAN, who is also a mem ber of Bernrculcr’s committee said he thought that the group would consider the matter short ly after it receives his commit tee’s approval, if it does. The representatives have not been given a list of the questions which the reviewing committee will ask them, because Donovan said, "this situation docs not call for a defense, but a clarification.” AWS Plans To Investigate Prexy Visits An At-Home with President Eric A. Walker was suggested to improve student-administration relations at the Association of Women Students meeting last night. A committee will be formed to draw up a proposal which would include bi-monthly or monthly sessions with President Walker in his home. As many as 75 students would bo permitted to attend these informal sessions. In other business, AWS made tentative plans to sponsor the Bishop!s Company, which will present a play entitled, "An Epi sode of Sparrows.” The organization, with a rep ertoire of eight plays, presents thgse plays to universities, col leges and church groups all over the country.

It also would make the operation of the sewage disposal plant possible. Officials have said that because the water that supplies the cam pus is pumped from underground sources, it would not be contami nated by fallout, and that if the pumps could be kept in oper ation, one of the major problems would be solved. Plans are in the discussion stage for a student training program to acquaint students with plans as they are developed.
