CHARLESTON, S.C. - The
Citadel is not a racist institution,
but the state military college
should do more to make students
sensitive to the background and
beliefs of other races,?South
Carolina's human affairs commissioner
said Monday.
Commissioner Jim Clyburn
said programs on human relations,
perhaps similar to those used
at military bases. Mil be one'
of the recommendations the commission
will consider this week
after a monthlong investigation
into the racial atmosphere at the
college.
The investigation was sparked
by the October hazing of black
cadet Kevin Nesmrth by five
! white -cadets who entered his
room wearing sheets and towels
and speaking obscenities. The
five left a charred paper cross
behind. Nesmith later left the
school.
A committee of the Human
Affairs Commission is meeting
Jan. 15 to consider the investigation's
findings and make recommendations
for changes at The
Citadel. Those recommendations
will be considered by the full
commission Friday.
Among other things, the committee
will consider whether to
recommend elimination of the
playing of "Dixie" after
touchdowns at football games
and the waving of the Confederate
flag, Clyburn said.

Jesse Jackson says the social
justice movement of the 1950s
and '60s has given way to a drive
for economic justice.
. "The dislocation of farmers,
autoworkers, steelworkers, rub-,
ber and textile workers has cut
across social, racial and religious
lines," Jackson said late last
week.
"There is a cloud of desperation
setting in across the middle
and the bottom of the economy,"
he said. "Just as social justice
was the central .issue of the 1950s
and 1960s, economic justice is the

Johnson said that, on Dec. 22,
he saw a car that Ms. Davis was
driving scrape a parked car. He
said he stopped as a witness.
"When the police came on the
scene Officer Kearns started yelling
at Ms. Davis. She was
(shouting at her and up in her face
real close," he said. "She (Ms.
Davis) was shouted at and yelled
at like she was some child. I tried
to talk to the officer and let her
know she didn't have to treat Ms.
Davis like that. She (Ms. Kearns)
didn't like that at all."

and finally arrested them both.
Walter Marshall, president of
the city's NAACP, said filing
charges in such cases is 4'one of
our new approaches to deal with
police brutality."

surveys were sent to the 125
blacks who are members of the
college's 1,960-member corps of
cadets. Some of the survey comments
were published in
Monday's edition of The Stare
newspaper in Columbia.
One black cadet said racial
hazing is not a problem, "but I
definitely think racial insensitivity
is a major problem."
Another said he had been called
by a derogatory racial term
and found pro-Ku Klux klan
messages in his textbooks, w hile a
third cadet called the campus "a
time bomb ready to explode."

survey said he never experienced

survey that there are mixed opinions

racism at The Citadel.

in Georgia's sharp increase in

black caucus of the Association
County Commissioners of
