The barricades are part of a massive effort to minimize trouble on Tuesday, when two black students are scheduled to enroll. The campus is currently off limits to all but students, faculty members and authorized visitors.

Materials
Wire photographs were originally transmitted over phonelines, then later, by satellite. They were first used in the early 1920s. Associated Press became a leader with this. After pigment touch-ups, etc., the print is put into a drum (like a drum scanner). The image gets converted into audio tones that are transmitted. The tones are received and beamed onto photo-sensitive paper. Wire photographs are copies without originals---they are hybrid, transmitted objects.
