CUTTING BINDING UMES BUSINESS CARDS ASS PORTS FOLDING TRANSPARENCIES ISINESS CARDS CUTTING 3LDING PASS Season ends in black for local merchants, if not for Gamecocks By Brian McCreight The Gamecocks may have ended the season in the red, but their fans' spirit has definitely put Columbia area clothiers in the black. A spontaneous drive of school spirit during the week prior to the annual Clemson-Carolina classic had students buying black sweaters, shirts and caps anywhere they could be found. The sartorial spirit was in honor of head coach Joe Morrison, who always wears black to a game, and a psychological tactic to counter the glaring orange of Clemson fans. Also a rumor had been circulating that the Gamecocks would be wearing new black uniforms for the game. Saturday the rumor was confirmed. Mike Sawyer, a school uniform salesman for T & T Sports, who supplies USC's team uniforms, would not comment on the rumor before the game, but he did say sales of black clothing had gone up more than 200 percent. "We had two dozen black shirts gone in three days and had to reorder jackets, sweatshirts and polo shirts," Sawyer said. "Tuesday's order came in Wednesday and sold out." At the USC Bookstore in the Russell House, business was good for everything according to I>mna Shcaly, a clothing department salesclerk. "I've worked here for three years, and this is the most spirit I've ever seen," she said. Other area stores, such as South Carolina Bookstore, Tops and Bottoms, Howard's Sports Store and Todd & Moore said sales were "great" or "fantastic."

White's, Tapp's, Davison's, Belk, Riohway and K Mart all had increased sales in black clothing and Gamecock paraphernalia. "We have an excellent school started. It will be a challenge to keep this school's standard." Prior to coming to South Carolina, Humphries was a professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and associate director for clinical cardiology at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. jhWIBE FLOWERS HOMFfORl | THE TURKEYTTASKET BOUQUET | y from your FTD Florist. $20.00 !j Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 24 '? 20% discount to U.S.C.
