Lessons Learned. Things were much different in South Carolina, last of the Deep Dixie states to integrate any public school for so much as one hour. There, Harvey Bernard Gantt, 20, a second-year architecture transfer from Iowa State, walked through the front door of Clemson College's red-brick administration building. Gantt's peaceable entry into Clemson, a state-supported school with an enrollment of 4,000, was a triumph of good sense and planning. When it became obvious that Clemson would be required to accept Gantt, a call for law and order went out from business...
...South Carolina's state-run Clemson College, which rejected Harvey Gantt, 19, a Charleston mechanic's son who made the National Honor Society in high school, went on to Iowa State as an architectural engineering student. Gantt's request for admission to Clemson is before Federal Judge Cecil C.

Memories of Mississippi. Odds are that at least one of the Negro applicants, probably Gantt, will make it in time for spring semester in February. Is the prospect peace-or another Ole Miss mess? Last week Alabama's Governor-elect George C. Wallace rattled his battle plans in a speech before the Mississippi state legislature. "All that I am advocating is that these forces of evil bridle themselves in their lustful desires to destroy the South," he said. Like Mississippi's Ross Barnett ("your gallant Governor"), Alabama's Wallace hopes to foil desegregation by making himself "chief...
...M.I.T. and Purdue, is all for taking desegregation "in our stride." Already well in stride is Clemson's President Robert C. Edwards, a former textile manufacturer, who is foresightedly preparing his 4,250 students so well that some of them even paid a sympathetic visit to Negro Applicant Gantt in court...
...After going hungry for five days, male dogs have a striking increase in fertility, Johns Hopkins researchers reported. This jibes with nature's way (seals and walruses do not eat before mating), but conflicts with animal-husbandry practice, which overfeeds beasts at stud. Said Dr. W. Horsley Gantt: "I see no reason to think the principle would not also apply to humans...
