Three killed in Negro college riot
ORANGEEURG, S.C.—(UPI) State troopers opened fire on firebomb-throwing and apparently sniping Negro college students Thursday night in a bloody melee that killed three persons and injured 36 others.
National Guardsmen, among 600 ordered into this farming town after racial violence erupted at a segregated bowling alley Tuesday night, patrolled streets around the littered campuses of South Carolina State and Claflin Colleges early today. But all was quiet after the skirmish.
The guard troops did no shooting, their officers said.
Se'lers arrested
Among the injured, two of whom were listed as critical, was Cleveland Sellers, an official of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), who was arrested on a number of charges at a hospital emergency room and jailed.
"Stokley Carmichael will probably come down if they incarcerate me." Sellers had told newsmen earlier Thursday.
Sellers who has been organizing a "black awareness" committee on the campuses, was charged with inciting to riot, destruction of property, arson and assault and battery with intent

"TEACHER INTERVIEWS:
The ABC Unified School District, located in the Los Angeles County area, will have a district representative on campus Thursday (P.M.) February 15, 1968, to interview teacher applicants. Interested persons should sign up in the placement office now!"
to kill State Trooper David W. Shealy, who was hospitalized with a facial wound, said Sellers struck him with a club. Sellers suffered a minor wound.
It was the third night of violence in Orangeburg, where Negroes have been trying to integrate the town's only bowling alley.
Firebomb buildings
Students lined a grassy knoll overlooking a street at the main gate to South Carolina State Thursday night and tossed firebombs into buildings across the way. Officers doused the fires before they could do any damage,
but they did not cross the street onto the campus until Negroes started a grass fire and sniper fire cracked in the darkness.
About 50 guardsmen and an equal number of plainclothed agents of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) moved up the knoll. Gunfire broke out and a number of students fell. Some attacked officers with clubs and sticks.
Three Negro youths were killed. They were identified by Orangeburg County Coroner Joe A. Dickey as Sam Hammond, 18, Henry Smith, 18, and Delano Middleton, 17.

Heart fund plans drive
Freshman women held a preliminary meeting Thursday in the North College office in GSP to plan the annual Heart Fund drive to be conducted for the Lawrence area Feb. 19 to 24.
Mrs. James Ricks, assistant dean of women, coordinated the meeting. The chairwomen of the heart drive are: Anne Boydston, Des Moines, Iowa, Oliver Hall; Mary Cleveland, Omaha, Neb., Corbin Hall and Jody Cloud, Salina, GSP.
Lawrence residents solicit in the downtown business areas while the freshman women work from house to house. Last year almost 100 per cent of the freshman women participated in the drive. They collected $6,000 of the $10,000 collected last year. Corbin Hall won the trophy for the largest contribution.
Competition is part of the plan to achieve interall and flooring initiative. Rewards for initiative were discussed. Head of the line lunch passes and breakfast on the floors were suggested for leading solicitors.
Mrs. Ricks predicted success in this year's drive. "I believe the people of Lawrence are in a generous mood this year. The Mother's March of Dimes raised $6,000 in the fall," she said.
