'Way back in 1951, the burning of le tiger was only part of the istivities. This, along with the shirtlil parade, bonfire and bell ringing, as part of Little Wednesday. The mual Carolina-Clemson football ime used to be played on Big hursday. In 1959, the McBryde Brotherhood uilt the Clemson Tiger that was urned on the final Little Wednesay. The tail of the ultimate LW tiger as approximately 150 feet long. The Gamecock urged students' support y saying, "Every Carolina student lould and must attend the pep rally ext Wednesday night, for it is the irgest, most exciting, and the 'hot;st' rally of the season." The rally was not always fun and ames. In 1957 the crowd of students nd fans burned the tiger in the street t the intersection of Gervais and lain because of police resistance to ie burning on the State House irounds. No damage was recorded, ut there was a rush to control the laze. There was no problem with the se of State House grounds in 1958. Big Thursday gave way to Solid aturday when the Gamecocks first entured into Clemson's Memorial Vadium in 1960.

The band is based in the Atlanta Church of Christ. The band's name comes from the biblical scripture, Acts 2:38, which reads, "Peter said, 'Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." I he music could best be described as light rock, not an auspicious title, but a somewhat valid musical genre nonetheless.

Two Thirty Eight was reasonably polished and professional. Just looking at the stage would make a body think, "My, what a wealthy bunch of fellows. They must put on a heck of a show and therefore make a lot of moolah." Actually, hearing the band was a different story. Though tight and well rehearsed, it sounded thin. The P.A. system was small and inadequate for a hall the size of the Russell House Ballroom. Though Two Thirty Eight is an O.K. band in the religious field, they just didn't quite live up to all the prebilling they received. Perhaps if the concert weren't free, it would not have been necessary to cut corners on such important measures as the P.A. system. A good live sound is, after all, important to a good live band.
