Game preview filled with spiri Parade to re tun BY KIMBERLY EVERITT Staff Writer Big Thursday is back! Originated in 1896 with the first CarolinaClemson football game, Big Thursday returns this year as part of the annual Carolina/Clemson game preview. The "Shirt Tails" parade was held every Thursday before the Carolina/Clemson football game on Main Street and Gamecock fans supposedly wore their shirts untucked in support of their team. This year, the Student Alumni Association is trying to bring back the tradition by sponsoring a similar parade Thursday from the Russell House into Five Points. Merry Jolluck, committee head for the parade, hopes the parade will "get students involved and promote school spirit." As further incentive for participating in the parade, the Student Alumni Association is awarding prizes in two different categories. One $200 prize will go to the student organization with the most members in attendance and another $200 will be awarded to the best banner. The banner competition is by pre-registration only. The organization will be matched with a Five Points merchant who will display the banner at the business along the parade route. All USC students are encouraged to march in the parade which is _ _i s 1. j ? _ ^ o _ r a _r n ti tt scneauiea 10 oegin ai j p.m. in ironi 01 me kusscii nuusc. * Garnet and black appareLor USC clothing would be appropriate for 1 the event ^ ^ A. * J Obsession keys By KRIS BORKES and anorexia and bulimia have beStaff Writer come major social concerns. ?7 : . ... _ Anorexia involves extreme obsesAnorexia nervosa and bulimia sion wUh wej ht ,oss ^ the l[U are two diseases which affect of starving 0^elf. many young people However, Bulim?/on ^ other hand> is these two eating disorders are pre- excessive eaU but purgi valent in females When girls go sdf b evokj VOI^,?

With less than one week notice, the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, in conjunction with USC Fraternity Council, has put together a Tigerburn Pep Rally that won't soon be forgotten. Tigerburn, a tradition associated with the Carolina/Clemson football game for more than 40 years, has a new sponsor this year. Sigma Phi Epsilon president Bob Mathias said the whole event "would not have been possible without the help of South Tower RHD, Stacy Cook, and McBride Quad RHD, Vic Felts." Rick Gant, director of Greek Life, served as coordinator of the event. The 13-foot black and orange tiger will be displayed in the Russell House ballroom until Thursdav night when the tiger will be transported than perfect. To attain the level of tionwide.

WILLIAMS Staff Writer ' Drayton Hall's stage is the temporary home of a light, airy set, wicker furniture covered with beautiful afghans in the foreground, and a greenhouse full of lush plants in the back. This is the set for the Department of Theatre, Speech and Dance's latest production, George Bernard Shaw's Misalliance. The playbill labels the play as a "romantic comedy," but the comedy definitely overwhelms the roI mance. There isn't a scene in the L two hour production that won't elicit belly laughs from the audience. The story of Misalliance is somewhat muddled. A couple is ?' engaged to be married, but she, Hupatia Tarleton, doesn't love him, Bentley Summerhays. But she does love his father, Lord Summerhays, and he returns her love, but nothing comes of this couple except ior several ciever asiaes. II, Hypatia Tarleton longs for a life id of adventure, which she gets when o, a plane crashes into the greenet house, and a handsome pilot emerges with a mysterious passenger. IC d Making this confusing plot clear ?r are nine superbly funny actors. A t- few performers in particular stand 10 out. r~ Robert C.

Kings Productions J Wrtrtftfl A carries c play zealoused over the least little thing and maniacally leaps about the stage, advising everyone to read everything from Darwin to Kipling. Brandt is simply wonderful. A member of the improv comedy group "We're Not Your Mother's" players, Phil Cater, is cast as the fiance no one can stand, Bentley Summerhays, an overeducated little snot who looks down on anything that isn't intellectual. Cater seems about two feet shorter than everyone else on stage, and his child-like stature is used for a great amount of humor. When his brother-in-law-to-be tells him that no one likes him, he flings himself onto the floor and throws a king-size temper tantrum. Everyone knows, and hates, someone like Bentley, and you'll love seeing him tossed about the stage like a sack of potatoes. Lola Martinez plays the mysterious airplane passenger who turns out to be the beautiful Polish acrobat, Lina Scczepanowska (don't try to pronounce it). All of the male characters are instantly smitten with her, but she wants none of them, and the ways in which she lets them know it are "painfully" amusing. Her eyes sparkle as she tells of her family's tradition that one member must risk his life everyday. She is a tomboy all the men want and none of the women understand. The cast adds devilishly clever twists throughout to make Misalliance thoroughly hilarious.
