Court blocks woman from Citadel
Student registers; can't attend classes
The Associated Press
CHARLESTON, S.C. — The gates of The Citadel opened to a woman armed with a court order yesterday. But after Shannon Faulkner registered to take day classes, the nation's top judge blocked her from attending them.
At the request of the 151-year-old military college, Chief Justice William Rehnquist granted a stay to keep the 18-year-old student from attending classes today.
The Citadel and Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Va., are the nation's only all-male, state-supported military colleges. Admissions policies at both are the targets of federal lawsuits.
Faulkner, who plans to major in education, walked several hundred yards through driving rain and a horde of reporters to register in Bond Hall, the turreted administration building that dominates
"I didn't expect all of this, and I didn't really expect to be here," Faulkner said as she advanced through the crush to meet her academic adviser, register and pay tuition. "I factually expected the battle to be a lot longer."

She said she was treated nicely by college officials and signed up for biology, math, English, history and education. But she said she felt "overwhelmed" by the attention.
"Everybody is saying, 'You're making history,' she said.
Though cadets promised to treat her with respect, they kept hoping for a last-minute reprieve.
"We don't want the class of 1994 to be labeled as the year of Shannon Faulkner," said Will Benton, senior.
Faulkner initially was accepted by the college after she had references to her gender deleted from her high-school transcript. The Citadel rejected her application when it discovered she was a woman, and she sued, challenging the constitutionality of the all-male admissions policy.
In August, a federal judge said Faulkner could
attend classes but not join the corps of cadets while her lawsuit proceeds. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refused to overturn the order.
Faulkner, who is from Powdersville, S.C., said she hoped to become a full-fledged member of the gray-uniformed corps of cadets within a year.
"I don't think you can get the full Citadel experience without being a cadet," she said.
Since Faulkner sued, five incidents of vandalism have been directed against her and her the family — the most recent when vandals poured sand, rotten eggs and spilled food on her car.
U. S. Attorney J.P. Strom said the FBI was investigating threats against Faulkner's "personal safety" and unspecified threats to his family and attorneys.
"I know I feel safe here on campus, it's just the off-campus stuff I do have to worry about," she said. "She will sit with a Chamberlain family that has
She will stay with a Charleston family that has requested anonymity.
After registering, Faulkner toured campus, escorted by Lynn Hook, one of 1,649 women who take evening classes at The Citadel.
