Game At Helps All By KELLEY JONES Feature Editor The South Carolina State Leg islature, in 1958, made a momen tous decision to abolish the tradi tional Big Thursday Classic. This piece of legislation, al though pushed by Clemson stu dents, alumni, and fans, is ac tually a blessing to Carolina stu dents and the state as a whole. Let's look at the facts. To begin with, doing away with Big Thursday also means doing away with all those nasty Fair holidays which formerly dragged USC and Clemson students alike away from their classes and the pursuit of knowledge. Many Spectators Also, each year the game at tracts thousands of spectators from all over the United States. Therefore, having every other "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. One company in particular-the Ramblin' ThougIuts By JANET ROBERSON Staff Writer A boy and girl, both major ing in dramatics, walked out of a movie sponsored by the Stu (lent Union. The boy remarked, "What love-making! Let's try the last scene." Freshman occupant in Maxcy gapes in horror as she sees footprints on the wall and ceiling of her room. . . . Maybe she's afraid of close places. * . * A coed recently told a male undergraduate that he was a real non-conformist because he came to a party-school to study. -Beat Clemson! ADL.ERS. IIN WHI Clemson Of State Clemson Rent-a-Mule Service-is planning to expand its facilities. The service, which rents mules to. visitors to Clemson (the last few miles are so mountainous and rocky that automobiles must be abandoned), has added 68 new mules to its staff especially for this year's game. New Log Cabins Thirty-six brand-new log cabins have also been recently built to accommodate visitors. Another company whose sales should sky rocket tomorrow is Bashful-Baron Moonshine, White Lightening, and Assorted Spirits, Unine. Also, any new visitors to Death Valley will get a good, first-hand look at that thriving new South Carolina industry - farming - which Governor Fritz Hollings successfully lured to the state. Too Much Money It is a well-known fact that all USC students have entirely too much money and are accordingly in danger of becoming spoiled brats. Thus, the fact that Carolina students must buy tickets for the games played at Clemson is, in reality, an attempt to remedy one of the great evils of our time. All this goes to show that the South Carolina solons actually had the good of the state and USC in mind when they decreed the aforementioned change. -Beat Clemson! French Movie In Columbia "The Would-Be Noblemen," a French comedy originally written for performance before Louis XIV of France, will be presented dur ing December at the Five Points Theater. This classic play, superb in color and featuring music by the distinguished Italian composer, Lully, will be presented on screen as it has been performed in Paris for the last 400 years. The University encourages stu dents in the modern languages, history, music departments, and all those interested in fine enter tainment to attend this movie. -Beat Clemson! for IF AND COLORS.

THE JESTERS swing into action David Padgett, Pete Richards, "Co Plus Talent Boys + In By ROSEMARY HANKINS Staff Writer Take four boys who have a way with a song, one five-string banjo, two guitars, a spasmodic set of bongos, and a base fiddle called Cooter Brown, and you have the Jesters: Orin Anderson, Pete Richards, David Padgett, and Ed Hancock. The group has been singing to gether since they were juniors at (Dreher) High School . . . first as a trio, later as a quartet plus bass. (Ed is rather sensitive about that epithet "base.") The Jesters were born at an assembly pro gram when they appeared in court fool costumes to do a little ditty concerning King Booster. The students went quietly mad over them, and the papers next day billed them as "King Boost er's Jesters." They sang at pep rallies, and school spirit hit a new high. They have pocketed prizes in several local talent shows. Last km you're ready anything in DEERS! MEN. AVALABLE AT :X,. 3t the "Miss Garnet and Black" contest oter," and Ed Hancock.

Cooter Brown, assisted by Ed Hancock, joined the group after an eight hour practice session, and the Jesters became the bunch heard at "Y" camp, the "Miss Garnet and Black" Contest, the Student Union Dance, and the polls on election day. The Jesters write and arrange most of their music or sing folk ballads-authentic ones, not yet commercialized by the Kingston Trio, and infinitely more honestly rendered. Their practice sessions are a musician's cocaine-infested dream. Usually these travesties on or ganized music take place at the Metronome Record Shop, but one night they all got a yearning for songs with an echo. The group adjourned to Orin's bathroom, locked themselves in with a tape recorder, and reverberated wildly for half an hour. Funny-Looking?
