"I'm so tired I can't even move," he said.

I USC to dedicate
I '88-89 year to arts
I By MARY PEARSON
! Administration reporter
s The USC administration plans to dedicate the next
academic year to recognition of the arts.
, "We plan to make this a system-wide celebration of the
I arts to celebrate the opening of the new Roger Arts
f Center, said Thomas Stepp, special assistant to the
president for culture and community affairs.
The center, which is under construction at the block of
Assembly, Green and Park streets, will finish a major
phase of building Tuesday with the placement of the last
steel beam, Stepp said.
A ceremony will take place at 3 p.m. Tuesday on the
Park Street side of the construction sight to mark the occasion.
Stepp said a tree will also be placed on top of the
building to symbolize the ending of the phase without injury
or death to any of the workers.
IMepp saia mere were no concrete plans ior tne tnemc
* year, but added that USC President James Holderman
was organizing a committee to work on the project. He
i did say, however, that the year would entail a wide variet>
? of events, begining unofficially with an Egyptian exhibit,
opening in April at USC's McKissick Museum.
"I think*this is the perfect year to dedicate to the yeai
of the arts, bringing attention to the stages of culture ant
art that are maturing at this university, in the community
and throughout the state," said George Terry, asssociati
B vicc president tor administration.
Terry, who is also McKissick Museum director, said thi
Egyptian exhibit will be one of the largest natural-histor;
exhibits in the state. After opening here, the exhibit wil
travel to the Smithsonian Institute and other majo
! museums, he said.
He said McKissick will have other important event
I throughout the year, including extending an invitation t<

ing of 1989 will mark the 40th anniversary of Johns
honorary graduation from USC, Terry said.
"We also plan to bring in renowned people from th
world of the arts to perform or perhaps speak at com
mencement," Stepp said. "These people could be peopl
in the performing arts or dance. We do not know wh
these people will be, but 1 would be open to any kind o
suggestions."
He said the opening of the Koger Arts Center will giv
the year momentum.

Many said the game would be decided on Perry's play
or rather, the play of the Gamecock who had to block
him.
Perry was limited to two tackles, and USC running
back Harold Green did the near impossible by gaining
more than 100 yards on the ground.
Many of the record 75,043 spectators at Williams-Brice
Stadium, who had given blood to help USC beat Clemson
in the blood drive, waited for the Gamecocks to bcgr. the
rout that had come to be expected.
But in the beginning, the Tigers had things going their
way.

The Gamecocks still trailed at halftime, however.
In the second half, the Gamecock defense, ranked second

It shut down the Tigers' offense and gave USC quarterback

touchdown.
The opportunity wasn't wasted.
