Game At (
Helps All
By KELLEY JONES (
Feature Editor t
The South Carolina State Leg- '1
islature, in 1958, made a momen- N
tous decision to abolish the tradi- t
tional Big Thursday Classic. r
This piece of legislation, al- E
though pushed by Clemson stu- '
dents, alumni, and fans, is ac- t
tually a blessing to Carolina stu
dents and the state as a whole.
Let's look at the facts. I
To begin with, doing away with 1
Big Thursday also means doing
away with all those nasty Fair 9
holidays which formerly dragged I
USC and Clemson students alike I
away from their classes and the
pursuit of knowledge.
Many Spectators
Also, each year the game at- I
tracts thousands of spectators (
from all over the United States. i
Therefore, having every other v
"Solid Saturday" at Tiger Town
will stimulate and encourage one
of the most progressive sections
in South Carolina.
In addition to the thriving
metropolis of Clemson itself, such
tremendous teeming centers of
population as Sandy Springs, Six
Mile, Fair Play, Cateechee, and
Utica will benefit materially from
the game.

Too Much Money
It is a well-known fact that all
JSC students have entirely too
nuch money and are accordingly
n danger of becoming spoiled
>rats. Thus, the fact that Carolina
tudents must buy tickets for the
ames played at Clemson is, in
-eality, an attempt to remedy one
>f the great evils of our time.
All this goes to show that the
south Carolina solons actually
ad the good of the state and
JSC in mind when they decreed
he aforementioned change. t
