and "More, more, morel"
By 2 a.m. a shouting band of
some 200 was in front of Sims
wvhere they started a refrain of
"We want panties, gotta have
panties." After a 16-minute
demonstration three of the demon

and were promptly turned'out by
a waiting policeman. None of the
other studients followed the three.
Damage Done

included several pulled out screensr

co-eds included lipstick scrawlings
on the wallpaper mural in the

as the would-be raiders trekked

"Beat Clemson, beat Clemson, ..
