su p p o rte r o f the o rg a n iz a t io n ,
M u ske lly-B ryan had a reputation for

B la c k Women in P u blishin g is a
non-profit professional organization
open to all women and men w orking
or interested in the w orld o f print
media. The o rgan izatio n ’s goal is to
create, develop and maintain a net
w ork to provide inform ation, encour
agement and support for profession
als, students and others interested in
the industry.
Shannon Fa u lkn e r endured the
rigors o f m ilitary training M onday at
The C itad e l, m arking the first time in
152 years a wom an w as a part o f the
c o lle g e ’ s prestigious C o rp s o f C a
dets.
Faulkner’s admission to The Citadel
ended the state-funded tradition o f single-
gender education after years o f litigation.
A lo n g with the men in I C o m
pany, Fa u lkn e r stood in the trademark
red and white checkered courtyard
w ithin her barracks w hile ranking ca
dets demonstrated the proper way to
stand at attention, face and salute su
periors and march.
In sig n in g in, the cadets were to
stand about two feet from a table, find
their names on a roster and sign in next
to it - all w ithin three seconds.
W hen it w as Faulkne r’s turn, o f
ficers formed a ring around her to
blackout the media.
“ B y the press sin g lin g her out, it
m akes it more d ifficu lt training the
other cadets and m akes it more d iffi
cult to train her,” senior cadet M ike
M urphy said.
Th e m edia follow ed Faulkner,
20, to the cadet store where she picked
up her gray duty uniform s. She has
been fo llow ed since M arch 1993,
when she began the legal quest for
a d m issio n to T h e C ita d e l.Sh e ch arge d
the previously all-m ale state-funded
school with sex discrim ination for
rescinding her acceptance once o ffi
cia ls learned she was female. H er law
yers argued a state-funded school
should not be allow ed to exclude
women.
A n d the legal w ran gling contin
ues now that Faulkner has qualified
for the band. A federal district judge
must determine whether she should
m ove from the barracks sp ecially
equipped for her safety with security
cam eras and a pri vate bathroom to the
one where the flute player w ill live
with all band members.
More than 600 cadets made up
the freshman class. Faulkner is an
academ ic ju n io r but a part o f the m ili
tary training for freshmen - called
knobs because o f their shaved heads.
Faulkner’s brown hair was not
am ong the locks scattered on the bar
bershop floor as she is only required
to wear her hair above the co llar and
aw ay from the face so it does not
interfere with headgear She cannot
wear makeup w hile in uniform and
je w e lry must be lim ited to a wrist
watch and one ring.
