Another would be Frankie Avalon giving his rendition of "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" complete with da da ta da de dum * instrumental effects. The main disadvantage to sing ing is that you must do so in a near whisper, so as not to attract attention from the next booth. This naturally detracts from the rich throat tone you are trying to achieve. Solution: prose comments, like the low male voice purring, "Alpha Tau Omega is the verrrrrry best." One informative girl offered shyly: "Hello, we're having a test to morrow, and I hope I make fairly good . . . in the 90's." Another read her French lesson beautifully - with a Charleston accent. Like candid camera, the tape swallows all background effects, and often sounds like people are jumping up and down and throw #R T4W Students!

Nearly all of these deeply roote, customs have been passed down t each successive entering class a Carolina with two exceptions - those of celebrating Big Thursday and of playing Clemson on the Car olina Stadium field. Since 1960, th game has alternated between th two schools and has been playei at any time during the season. The first Carolina-Clemson gam came as a result of a statemen made by the Clemson team, tha although "it didn't intend to pla: Harvard or Yale, it fully intende4 to beat the University of Soutl Carolina." USC faced this challenge an in 1902 defeated the Tigers 12-1 in their first entanglement. How Until The Cows Come To Dwell By Timothy Ruffage We understand that our brother at Clemson recently decided to dro] the word "AGRICULTURE" fron their diplomas. This certainly wa a stroke of genius, manifesting 4 commendable attempt to culturiz a well-stocked cow pasture. Of course, the decision has mori far-reaching implications. Firstly the change was obviously made t< protect the poor farmboys fron being ostracized by more anti Philistine groups, those c i r c 1 e sworn to do away with asses' jaw bones. Secondly, in our contempor ary society, an individual's statioi in life is largely dependent upoi his title. Now, if a person call h i m s e I f an AGRICULTURIST everybody will know that he is jus t a farmer, and since farmers ar not noted for their station in life the person will become automatic -ally inferior. This is a situatioi which cannot be permitted to exist Moreover, we must remembe: that argiculture, since it pertains to farming, also pertains to dirt Therefore, to say someone is ar agriculturist implies that he, o: she, is dirty. And no one wants t< be dirty, ergo no agriculture, re gardless of its noble and purpose ful function. There, friends, are the basic rea sons for the great change a Clemson. Those who are not satis fied with them can find man more by carefully reading Vanc Packard's Status Seekers. -- BEAT CLEMSON! - CIG's VENDORS, INC. 21412 Two Notch Road COLUJMBIA, S. C.

It was after the first game an a victory for USC that the footba] I relations between the two school were severed until 1909. It seems that Clemson student i became infuriated when they sam : the figure of a Gamecock subduing t a tiger in the window of a store i1 - Columbia. That Friday night Caro , lina students further aggravatec - the Tigers by holding a parade t( a celebrate their 12-6 triumph. Clem a son College students then appeare< a on the scene with swords am bayonets. About to engage in mortal com t bat, the two schools were rescue t by Christie Benet, a Carolina as sistant coach, who offered to tak< I on any Tiger who was game. Sinc< I this proposal was not particular] relished by the Clemson students I they slowly began to withdraw. 3 A committee was formed fron - each school to try to arbitrate th( - matter. However, the result wa. the abolishment of contests be tween the two schools for a perioc of seven years. Since then, rivalr: has been on a more friendly basis ' Once the "c l a s h e s" were re sumed, the policy was to begin th( game at 11 a.m. in order to permi time for the spectators, then trans ported by horse-drawn carriages s to reach home before dark.

It was to - the great astonishment of Colum bians when feminine participation in these events was finally permit 3 ted. r To further p r o m o t e friendly relations between the two schools, the Blue Key fraternities of both Clemson and USC made stabs at planning some pre-game activities - which did not include the burn ing of the tiger. Only a few stu Jents attended the activities while later in the week many more stu lents assembled on their own to have the tiger burning ceremony. The next attempt of the Blue Key chapters was more successful. I They donated a rotating trophy to he awarded each year to the win ning team. This trophy has also become a part of the Clemson-Car alina tradition. Today, although the classic Big Thursday is no more, the festivi ties still remain. The spirit-boost ing pep rallies, the spectacular parades around Columbia, and the "dramatic" burning of the tiger still remain as traditional celebra tions. Then, of course, there are the extra-curricular activities of dar ing individuals on both campii. Some are practiced e v e r y year, while others have begun to run their course. Stealing the ball from the Maxcy - Monument, painting Clemson water towers, ringing the Rutledge Chapel bell, stealing Clemson rat hats, and "eating tiger meat" are but a few expressions of the spirit of friendly rivalry which exists be tween the two schools. - BEAT CLEMSON! - 0 0 an ksgiving And the peril of their days NVas no greater than the fear .Ve now feel, for an arrow and \n atom seek the same end as ['heir use demands.

'rhis news comes on the heels of the announcement that the Stu dent Allocations Committee has set aside enough money to purchase a new transmitter. The transmitter replaces the one now in use, which is fifteen years old, and which cannot cope with the growing Caro lina campus. In preparation for this extended coverage, new members are needed for the staff, to train to become announcers, newscasters, copywrit-. ers, and engineers. Typists are also needed for the programming and business departments. T h e management of WUSC urges all Interested students to at tend the staff meetings at 5 p.m. each Friday. -- BEAT CLEMSON .-.
