In ease of fire: a question of safety
By DEBBIE GRAHAM
Suppose a fire breaks out above the second floor of a
high rise dormitory. The residents on the burning floor are
in direct danger, and those on the other floors are
panicking. Can they be saved?
Two opposing answers were received from this single
question. Lt. Charles W. Owen, head of the fire department, maintains that the situation would be fatal, while
Roy M. Rochester, director of the physical plant, insists
that the residents have little to fear.
According to Owen, the University fire department,
which also serves the city, "does not have adequate
equipment." At the present time, the fire department
owns and operates a 500-gallon per minute pumper truck
and a 250 gallon per minute pumper truck, which is used
for small and brush fires. The department also has two
more "outdated trucks, neither of which is in working
condition," Owen said.
On the larger fire truck there is a 34-foot fire extension
ladder which will reach to the second floor. However, an
inoperative 1941 Dodge boasts a 65-foot ladder, although it
is not a fire ladder.
Rating close to the 1941 Dodge in uselessness is the
department's rescue mat. Owen said that "Unless the
jumper is experienced, he could break his neck if he
jumps from above two floors, The mat must also be
manned by 10 experienced men." Consequently, the mat
has never been used.
Owen firmly believes that in order to give dormitory
residents maximum protection, the University should
purchase a fire truck equipped with a 100-foot aerial
ladder and that the ladder should be sufficiently equipped
with a water hose.
Owen said that the truck would cost about $65,000,
"which is a small price to pay for a human life." He added
that, "It would give us fire protection equal to Greenville,
Atlanta or any other big city."
"It's very important for a fireman to be able to enter a
burning building from the outside," Owen stated. "With
our present equipment, we can't put a man in above the
second floor. With a 100-foot aerial ladder, we can put a
man in on the tenth floor," he continued.
Explaining why there is a necessity to enter from the
outside, Owen created a possible fire situation. "Suppose
there's a fire on the fourth floor," he began. "The smoke
will travel from room to room through the air conditioning
system. Consequently, the residents on the eighth floor
are going to see smoke, think the fire is on their floor and
possibly jump because of unnecessary panic."
"An aerial ladder would allow students to escape from
the fourth floor and would allow firemen to enter the
eighth floor to calm the panicking students," Owen said.
He described the ladder as having handrails, so "you
wouldn't have to be experienced to climb down." Han-,
drails also facilitate carrying someone down, he said.
"In our present situation," Owen disclosed, "the
firemen would have to go up the stairwell." But the smoke
would fill the stairwell all the way up, making it almost
impossible to see or breathe, he added.
"Smoke would be the main factor," he commented,
"with fire way down the list." To fight the fire, each floor
is equipped with "stand-pipe hoses," 50-foot hoses with
l'/2-inch water lines.
Owen told that he has submitted a request to the chief of
security for this vital piece of equipment for the last three
years with no positive results. However, he understands
that it has been put in the to-be-approved budget for next
year.
"It will take over a year to get the truck from the day we
say order it. That will make the earliest possible receiving
date two years from now," he stated.
"If the students understand the situation and know who
to go to," Owen stated, "they can play a big part in getting
the truck because they have to live in the high rises." He
declined to say who the authority is that the students
should contact.
Owen also explained that the purchasing of the new
truck would call for more manpower, at least four more
men. At present, the fire department has 11 paid firemen,
6 paid student firemen and 15 volunteer firemen from the
city.
In conclusion Owen said that the fire department
"would appreciate student cooperation with the fire
alarm system. Restrain from pulling the alarms unless
the situation is real. It was put in for a good reason and is
the only way to notify everybody in the dorm."
When Rochester was'asked why the University has not
yet purchased this much-needed piece of equipment, he
replied that, "It is a matter of opinion as to how much it is
needed."
He then made a statement which raises the question of
whether or not the Plant and the fire department know
each other exist. Rochester said that the Plant "does have
a 103-foot aerial ladder mounted on a large truck although
it may not be as luxurious or as sophisticated as Mr. Owen
wants."
He stated that the ladder was "purchased for high rise
evacuation" but later added that changing light bulbs in
the coliseum was also in mind at the time.
He went on to explain that the ladder has 5 sections,
each being 20 feet deep. "We also have men trained to
operate this ladder," he added. "It was the only way to
evacuate the high rises without spending $65,000." He
believes that the only difference between this ladder and
the afore mentioned one is the addition of the water hose.
"Whether we have the ladder or not, the approach is to
make the dorms safe," Rochester stated and went on to
explain the safety of the dorms.
He explained that each high rise dorm floor is divided
into four units. "If the doors are closed, it would take two
hours for a fire to burn through one unit." He added that
"on each floor there are fire hoses, extinguishers and an
automatic alarm system."
He then set up a hypothetical situation which he
described as "highly unlikely." "Suppose a whole floor is
burning and the ladder is broken. The firemen have fireproof suits with oxygen masks that would enable them to
walk through the fire to rescue the students." He also
added that "Greenville has two fire trucks with 100-foot
ladders and has volunteered to come to our rescue if
needed."
However, Greenville is not such a short distance away,
and the help may come too late if at all.
On the question of the danger of smoke ventilation,
Rochester was not in agreement with Owen. Rochester
claims that "there is no way for smoke to go to other floors
except through cracks." He added that smoke getting into
the stairwell is also improbable since the doors leading
into them are supposed to be closed.
Also to insure the fire safety of the University,
Rochester explained that the state fire marshall checks
the University twice a year and makes recommendations.
On the last check he found the University lacking $550,(HK
of protection, but "no mention was made of a fire truck
with an aerial ladder." Rochester said that "the money
has been appropriated to bring our standards up to the
1972-73 standards of the fire marshall."
When asked again why the appropriation for the truck
has never been approved, Rochester explained that this
piece of equipment would call for a special appropriation.
"It was included in the budget for this year but was not
approved. It is in the budget for next year but has not yet
been approved." In reply as to why it was not included
upon Owen's request in the previous year's budget,
Rochester replied, "I don't know."
He went on to explain that each department compiles its
budget, which is submitted to the office of business and
finance. The University budget then goes to the state
budgetary control board.
Rochester explained that the "formula budget," which
is based on the number of credit hours taken by the
students at a University, has cut down on the money the
University receives. "The University comes back and
appropriated funds on a priority basis," he addedc.
Undoubtedly the disputed fire truck is near the bottom of
the priority list.
But why is it near the bottom? Who knows more about
the fire protection needed by this campus: Owen, whose
job is saving human lives and buildings, or Rochester,
director of the Physical Plant? Without question Owen is
the most knowledgeable source.
Then there is the question of whether the fire department knows of the 100-foot aerial ladder owned by the
Plant. If it does know of its existence, is the department
aware that the truck is available for its use?
Upon questioning, head fireman Owen did not mention
this piece of the equipment although he cataloged all other
equipment which the fire department can use. Therefore,
it is reasonable to assume he was unaware of his access to
this ladder.
If, as Rochester stated, the ladder was purchased with
high rise evacuation in mind, the head of the fire department is the most logical person to be informed of the
purchase. This lack of knowledge on Owen's part points to
a tremendous and possibly fatal communication gap
between the Plant and its subordinate departments.
A certain degree of lack of communication is excusable
if not expected in all departments. But when the lives of
human beings are at stake, as is the case here, no amount
can be excused, and the gap must be closed.

program director Sam Campbell.
Bill Bradley of the New York
Knickerbockers basketball team will
express his views on current issues on
September 11 at 7 p.m. in Tillman Hall. He
is sponsored by the Speaker's Bureau.
Bradley is a graduate of Princeton
-University where he continued his
basketball career started in high school.
He was an All-American in both his junior
and senior years at Princeton, and in his
junior year was selected as a member of
the United States team for the 1964
Olympics in Tokyo.
Bradley has played on the New York
Knickerbockers Championship basketball
team since 1967. He is also a director of
South Forty Corporation, a non-profit
organization involved in providing
vocational and educational training for
prison inmates.
This 6-foot 5-inch, 30-year-old athlete is
seriously concerned about the problems of
the current day, and he may be destined
for an often-rumored political career.
WSBF
changes format
WSBF staff members, concerned with
creating a new image for the student radio
station, have changed to a more versatile
format this year.
"Last year we were just a standard
Clemson
However, Campbell explained this year
the station is "trying to get more individual participation in the shows," and
to give students exactly the kind of
programs they like to hear.
This year, the broadcasting day begins
with a top 40 show to "pep you up and get
you out of bed," Campbell mentioned. He
said that the station is using only the better
Top 40 tunes, and with new jingles and
techniques, is trying to give more
professionalism to the broadcasts.
Afternoon programming has also
changed from last year, according to
Campbell. He said the staff has tried to
activate the afternoon shows and to cut
down on "free-form progressive radio"
during this time slot.
During the night broadcasts, disc
jockeys are able to try out the "new stuff,"
Campbell added. "At night, D.J.'s are
given freedom in chosing the music they
want to play," he said.
Campbell also hopes new announcers
will be attracted to the night time shows,
and WSBF will get some competition for
D.J. jobs.
He urged all students who' are interested
in broadcasting to visit the WSBF offices.
"We're not some kind of exclusive
fraternity,"
Campbell
concluded.
"Anyone can come in at any time and ask
to work. We'll give them something to do."

Talented girl swimmers left high and dry
By GINNY MANNING
"There certainly is some fine talent out
there. If we had someone to coach them, along
with proper facilities, I bet we could have a
fine women's team."
Carl McHugh, Coach, Clemson Swim Team
Swimming is one of the more neglected sports at
Clemson University, particularly when measured up
against the two perennial, though possibly waning,
behemoths of the Athletic Department—football and
basketball.
Certainly, thousands of people do not flock to swim
meets at Clemson, and the swim team's rather unimpressive 2-8 season last year did not inspire hoards of fans.
Soccer, a previously little known sport on campus,
reached an impressive pinnacle that of both publicity and
performance last year through that team's fine efforts in
national competition. Swimming, as an intercollegiate
sport, however, has generally attracted little student
interest.
There are people, though, who would like to see the
aquatic apathy reversed, and possibly the greatest impetus for growth in swimming as an intercollegiate sport
may come from women swimmers at Clemson. At
present, there are no women on a swim team at Clemson.
A Women's Swim Club, theoretically funded by the
Student Government, was founded last year, but a swim
club is not a swim team, particularly in terms of official
financial recognition from University sources. For
example, there is the problem of funding attendance at
intercollegiate meets.
"We started by chance and luck and had no money for
most of last year. But," explained Debbie Eyer, "as
president of a club, I felt entitled to request funds from
Student Government toattend a swim meet in Columbia. I
asked for $150.00 and received $75.00 to purchase equipment after the swim season had ended. Thankfully, the
movie ("Midnight Man" which was filmed on the Clemson
campus last year) needed us for a scene and they were
able to provide us with swimsuits and bathing caps.
"We practiced every night after the men's swim team
but we really didn't have a coach. The men's coach, Carl
McHugh, helped us as much as he could, but it was obvious we needed our own coach. Since we didn't get to
compete at all last season, it was pretty disappointing. We
still need a coach and we still need money, but we'd like to
get something together for this season. The interest is
high."
Carl McHugh agrees that there should be a women's
swim team at Clemson.
"Other schools are starting to get into women's intercollegiate swimming—there is no reason why Clemson
shouldn't. We have some real good girls—several of them
were excellent swimmers. There is a need, though, for
proper facilities, which should be met by next year. The
pool at the "Y" is hopelessly inadequate for men or
women to swim in. The need for proper coaching can't be
over-estimated, either. I can't do it myself, as I teach as
well as coach the men's team, but I would like to see a
women's team at Clemson."
The University, according to McHugh, "should be able
to provide funds for a competing, intercollegiate women's
swim team, if there was the interest, which does appear to
exist." Funds would be needed for a coach, meet expenses, and possibly some form of grant-in-aid assistance
to deserving swimmers—a set-up similar to the one
presently employed by the men's team.
Swimming, as the first women's intercollegiate sport at
Clemson, would possibly generate more interest to the
average student. Male chauvanist and wolf-whistle
mentalities notwithstanding, a women's swim team, with
the same "rights" as a men's swim team, could do much
to enhance the total athletic program at Clemson.
New motivation may be sign
of possible ROTC comeback
By MARILYN THOMPSON
Campus ROTC, officials, pleased with
enrollments in the Army and Air Force
programs this semester, say that ROTC may be
making a comeback at Clemson.
"The whole motivation for taking ROTC, has
changed," said Kenneth Boatman, an assistant
professor with the Army program. "We've got
people taking it because they want to and not
because they have some draft number hanging
over them," he added.
Military personnel, who wondered how the end
of the draft and the Vietnam War would affect
ROTC enrollment, admit that the increased
student interest is a pleasant surprise.
"The current ROTC, freshman enrollment is
about the same as last year and is especially
significant since it comes after the ending of the
draft," explained Col. Thomas B. Maertons,
professor of military science and head of the
Army staff here.
"It reflects the recognition by these young men
of the advantages which Army ROTC offers in
developing leadership ability and career advancement in the military or in civilian life," he
added.
Total enrollment in the Army ROTC, this
semester is 237 students, with a large majority
(13Q) of freshmen. Only five women are taking
part in the program, which was just recently
made available to female students.
Yet Boatman insists that it's not the number
but the quality of the students that makes the
difference.
"We had 21 freshmen sign up for our Counter
Guerilla group and 15 for the Pershing Rifles,"
he pointed out. He said these groups are more
specialized branches of the Army program
which require "people who are really interested."
Boatman maintained that the obvious interest
in ROTC, programs is a sign of "new life on
campus."
"I hope that it's true not only for ROTC, but
also for student organizations," Boatman said.
"Maybe Clemson students are getting over their
apathy," he emphasized.
According to Boatman, the renewed interest in
ROTC, is evident at other area schools. In fact,
Clemson's Army instructors have begun crossenrollment ROTC, programs at Anderson and,
Central Wesleyan Colleges, and at Tri County
Tech upon the request of administrators at the
schools.
"These schools expressed an interest in ROTC
and they approached us about starting a
program," explained Boatman. He said that
Clemson military science personnel, who travel
to each of the schools to provide instruction, are
interested in giving students at two year colleges
the same advantages as those at four year
schools.
"After they complete the program at their two
year colleges, the students can step right into the
four year program," said Boatman.
He admits he isn't exactly sure why ROTC
"caught fire", especially at Clemson, this year.
"We're not recruiters; these students just
come to us," Boatman said.
One possible lure into the program is the
availability of scholarships. Thirty-one cadets
are on scholarships this semester which pay full
tuition, textbook costs, laboratory fees, and a
$100 per month subsistence allowance.
(Continued on Page 8)
THESE MALE SWIMMERS may have company on the Clemson
swim team if the Women's Swim Club has any say. But right now, the
WSC is neither officially recognized nor financed, and a relative
decline in interest in swimming looms as an additional problem.

Dear Students,
Regardless of how ultimately
beneficial, change and progress
can cause difficulty for those
involved. With a new traffic plan,
new parking arrangements and
construction in several areas,
we've all experienced some inconvenience recently at Clemson.
Confusion on campus, however,
has been minimal compared to
what it might have been without
the spirit of cooperations and
patience you have shown since
arriving on campus. The opening
of this year has gone very
smoothly, thanks to your help.
We don't have all the problems
solved yet and I'm sure many
more are yet to be encountered.
But I believe we do have the kind
of campus climate where
cooperation and enthusiasm
make it a lot easier to find good,
workable solutions.
These solutions will, inevitably,
mean further change. We pledge
to keep you fully informed, as far
in advance as possible, about all
actions affecting the University's
future and your life as a student.
We need your continuing help
and support as Clemson moves
forward.
Sincerely,
Robert C. Edwards
President
A. C. DUPONT
Dear sirs:
Last Tuesday my roommate
blacked out outside of Schilletter
Hall. He fell on the sidewalk and
was bleeding around his head.
Within moments the police
came. I, of course, expected that
a stretcher or ambulance would
soon arrive. When one did not, I
asked the police what the
problem was. They replied that
an ambulance was on its way, but
that they had to call Seneca to get
one.
I was worried about the condition of my roommate, who was
still unconscious, untended by
nurse or doctor, and still
bleeding. I asked if we couldn't
carry him to Redfern Infirmary,
which is only across the street,
but the police replied that they
had "no authority" to move him.
Well, to make a long story
short, 25 minutes after the accident, my roommate was finally
taken across the street and is
fine. But think, if he (or someone
else in the future) would have a
really bad fall or seizure? A
person could die waiting for the
Seneca ambulance to take him
across the street.
The size of this university is
almost 10,000. I believe that
Clemson University, or the town
of Clemson, or the two in conjunction should quickly go about
acquiring an ambulance with
trained personnel before a real
tragedy occurs.

No games
Three weeks have passed now since the
Tiger staff resumed work on the paper. For
three weeks now, staff members have been
avoided, lied to and given a monumental runaround by members of the University administration and staff.
For three weeks, we have been assured that
administrators and staff "simply overreacted" to a memorandum issued by University
President R. C. Edwards and that the
situation would be taken care of promptly.
Telephone calls have been made, meetings
arranged and explanations offered again and
again, but the situation has remained the
same.
Edwards' memorandum, instructing
University personnel to refer members of the
press to the office of public relations on
matters of University policy, has been used as
an excuse to withhold information and was
this week used to intimidate a previously
cooperative news source on campus.
When Tiger News Editor Debbie Graham
discussed the campus fire station's ability to
combat fires, Lt. Charles Owen was anxious
that Clemson students learn about the
disturbing lack of fire-fighting equipment. By
the afternoon of the same day, Owen refused
to allow Staff Photographer Ed Beaman into
the station to take pictures, explaining that he
had already gotten in trouble for giving information to the Tiger and that he "didn't
want to get in trouble twice in the same day."
Whatever the motive behind Edwards'
memorandum, it has given uncooperative
University personnel a means of obstructing
the Tiger staff's work in investigative
reporting to the extent that we can no longer
wait for others to effect a remedy to the
situation and still remain an effective news
source.
Certain administrators would like nothing
better than to see the Tiger turned into a
glorified song-and-dance routine to the tune of
"What's Right With Clemson." They become
unhappy when criticism is made and change
demanded. As one person put it, they "don't
trust the press and don't like the Tiger."
Well, if they don't like us now, their attitude
is not likely to improve. If our attempts to
present both sides of a story are going to be
met with attempts to whitewash the facts and
intimidate our sources of information, we
must adopt new methods of reporting. And if
the new methods require presenting only one
side of an issue to assure that side is
presented, it can be arranged.
We want to be as fair as possible with
University personnel, and we'd like to present
both sides in University-related issues. But we
have better things to do with our time than to
chase after people begging them to let us tell
their side of a story.
We're tired of running in circles, and we're
tired of playing games.

We agree in the excitement of watching two
talented teams pitting their skills against one
another. Yet, it still seems difficult to understand how intercollegiate sport could
become as mammoth as it is today with the
express purpose of just entertaining Joe
College Student. One would deduce from that
theory that the students would be awarded the
choice seats to watch these games, which we
know isn't the case.
". . .What can the Tigers do for an
encore? Nobody really knows for sure,
but the successful Clemson coach —
who boasts a six-year coaching mark of
50 wins, 21 losses, and six ties — has
journeyed as far as South America to
recruit what looms to be the finest crop
of newcomers ever to don the orange
and white, . ."
— the Greenville News
September 2,1973
Of course I'm belaboring the obvious: that
which we all know subconsciously to be the
truth about intercollegiate sports. The image
of Clemson University, along with the bulk of
all medium-to-large colleges, is determined
to a large extent by its athletic endeavors.
1
By GEORGE A. SMITH
Many readers will be disappointed that this
article does not purport to analyze Clemson's
chances for a winning season in various
athletic endeavors this year. Instead it is to
question: what are we doing in our overall
sports program, and where are we going?
We all love to win — witness the mammoth
increase in attendance at soccer games over
the past year. Also witness the arrival of the
third football coach to be in residence since
this writer has been attending Clemson. We
all love to win, but what is the limit to the
extremes we will go to win?
Does anyone know who the first coach of
collegiate sport was to make a scholarship
offer? I would gladly give a 50-yard-line ticket
to the Clemson-Carolina game to find out.
Because from that first scholarship offer has
mushroomed an offensive scramble for talent
no less intense than that of the professional
baseball draft.
For the first-string players involved, sport
is no extra-curricular activity. It is their main
activity on campus, and must be for them to
maintain the excellence demanded of them.
For the most part, college sport has become a
highly complex business with high stakes,
completely foreign to the notion of sport
simply for the physical and mental benefits of
healthy competition.
Just who are the beneficiaries of the football, basketball and soccer games we watch
at Clemson? The players? Are we really so
benevolent as to recruit soccer players from
as far away as South America for their own
benefit? Then surely sports spectaculars
must be staged for the average student's
benefit.
Remember the last time you told a teenager
that you went to Clemson? If he sneered at
you it was because he didn't like our
basketball team. If he immediately respected
you it was because we beat Carolina in
football last year.
The teenager's parents are of the same
mold. When we shove our diplomas across our
prospective employers' desks, instant images
of Clemson's won-lost record will form in
their minds. Consciously or subconsciously,
the success of our football, basketball (and
now, perhaps, soccer) teams are the largest
influencing factors towards the outside
world's opinion of our school.
Is there a statistics buff in search of a
project? How about a study of the correlation
between periods of large gifts to the
University and periods of considerable
athletic success (i.e., winning football
games). I will gladly award an IPTAY gift
membership to the first person discovering a
definite relationship.
Of course not all schools are judged by their
athletic programs. When is the last time a
Harvard-Yale football game was televised
nationally? Schools with established outstanding reputations don't find it necessary to
prove themselves with a semi-professional
athletic program. Nor do small liberal-arts
colleges.
But the rest of us are probably hopelessly
involved in the increasingly professional
business of talent scouts, recruiters, coaches
sportscasters, and directors that make up the
grand game of intercollegiate sport.
I am considering writing someone for ideas
about how Clemson could develop a sports
program for the students, devoid of the
pressures and corruption of professionalism.
Perhaps the International Olympic Games
Committee would have some suggestions.

At USC
Campus bookstore profits fund lobbying
By EARL GATLIN
President of the University of South
Carolina, Dr. Thomas Jones, announced in
the second week of August that $10,000 of
an estimated $45,000 profit from the
campus bookstore would be used to pay
Cook-Ruef, a public relations firm, to
lobby for the creation of a second state
medical school at USC.
Sig Huitt of the USC office of public
information said, "This was the price
originally quoted for the services of CookRuef to Dr. Jones."
Huitt explained that the "legislative
liason work" involved "a full gamit of stuff
from research to providing information on
the medical school to the legislature."
Justifying USC's actions, Huitt said,
"The liason work through Cook-Ruef was
felt to be necessary to better convey the
point we were trying to get across to the
legislators."
In a prepared statement Dr. Jones
stated, "Chairman Marchant (T. Eston
Marchant, chairman of USC board of
trustees) and I fully discussed the matter
and concluded that engaging the firm
would serve the best interest of the people
of the state and was within the realm of the
responsibilities of the University to the
people of the state. Governor West approved."
"After consideration of all factors involved I've decided to reserve campus
bookstore revenues, since these are
clearly defined by legislation as non-state
funds," explained Dr. Jones in the same
press release.
Huitt reported, "Originally there was a
good bit of speculation by the press as to
where the $10,000 would come from. This
was done while Dr. Jones was out of town.
The only official word was to use bookstore
profit. It was announced, though, that
other funds were considered. At the time of
the comitment with Cook-Ruef, Jones
considered paying the fees from money
given to the University without restrictions to use. However, Dr. Jones felt the
bookstore funds were more appropriate."
The Greenville Piedmont reported that
the $62,500 profit made by the bookstore in
STEERING

ViBRATSOK

BUGGED?
With

1972-73 was given to the marching band
($35,000) and academic scholarships
(20,000), while $7,500 was divided between
the cheerleaders and the Gamecock, the
student newspaper. This year, the Piedmont claims, the marching band will
receive only $15,000 from bookstore profits
and the cheerleaders and the Gamecock
will receive no bookstore funds. The
$20,000 for academic scholarships will still
be alloted.
"As to the appropriation of bookstore
profits," explained Huitt, "there is a yearto-year determination made by the board
of trustees. Need varies from year to year,
thus different allocations are made."
To clarify some misconceptions, Huitt
declared, "There is only one universityoperated bookstore. There is a South
Carolina Bookstore located adjacent to the
campus, but it is a private establishment
and is in no way related to the University.
Also, the money listed as bookstore profit
is strictly bookstore profit and does not
include funds from other enterprises such
as the canteen."
Commenting on the rumor that the
$10,000 is just for the medical school and
that the actual amount in the budget for
lobbying fees is approximately $200,000,
Huitt stated, "The only legislative liason
work the University has been billed for is
the $10,000 we have already paid."
A few days before Dr. Jones issued his
statement about the use of bookstore
funds, the Higher Education Committee
announced the specifications it has set on
the federal funding for the proposed
medical college at USC. Federal funds
must cover 100 per cent of the capital funds
and 52 per cent of the operating costs for
not less than 10 years. The committee also
wants the General Assembly's assurance
that the state's share of operating costs for
the first year will be available before
construction begins.
At present USC is waiting to apply for
federal funds. Actually, the process has
begun.
"The Veterans Administration has not
completed the application form. The
University is gathering statistical data.
Hopefully the application will arrive
soon," said Mac Johnstone, governmental
liason officer for USC.
Huitt claims, "If funds from the VA can
be had, it would give us a platform to talk
medical school."
As for the specific success of the lobbying done for USC, Huitt reported, "The
legislature approved $50,000 for a graduate
school of public health and $50,000 for a
post-graduate school of medicine."
Although these are related to the medical
field, their passage is coincedental. A
study commission recommended these
two schools in March, and no action was
taken specifically concerning the second
medical school.
At Clemson
Profits present problems
By EARL GATLIN
With USC's bookstore profits making the
news recently, curiosity concerning
Clemson Bookstore profits was aroused.
"Any profit that accrues from the
bookstore goes into the University's
general account to be budgeted as the
University sees fit," said Walter T. Cox,
vice president for student affairs and dean
of students.
"The bookstore revenues used to go to
the athletic department for grants-in-aid
three or four years ago," explained Cox.
"In the late 1950's, the athletic department
bought the bookstore from a private enterprise that was located downtown. The
athletic department still owns the
bookstore, but it's part of the University."
Cox went on to explain that the bookstore
is an "auxiliary enterprise" and receives
no funds for operation from the University.
"It must stand on its own," said Cox.
John C. Cureton, manager of the
University bookstore, presented a bleak
financial picture of the bookstore.
"The publisher sets the retail price of
new books, not us," he said. "The margin
of profit for new books doesn't change
while freight and shipping costs go up.
Posters, stationary, and records are some
of the things sold to help boost the profits,"
CHAR* UTi
RESTAURANT
U.S. 12? By-Pass
Seneca
explained Cureton.
In fiscal year 1971-72 the bookstore lost
$3,437, but this year it looks like the
University bookstore will have a surplus of
$20,000-$25,000, according to Cox.
Cox said the goal of the bookstore was to
cut profits to a minimum to give students a
good dealSince the bookstore is an auxilary enterprise and its goal is to make book
purchases as easy on the student's wallet
as possible, the bookstore and University
should adopt a policy to successfully reach
this goal.
In order to pay for lean years, the
bookstore should reabsorb the profits, and
the University should refrain from taking
them.
This year, for example, the $25,000 profit
could allow the bookstore to operate for
several years in the red and still come out
even in the long run.
In addition, the bookstore could alter its
resale prices on books so that profits would
not reach as high as $25,000. In order for
students to truly get the best deal, the
bookstore must operate on the minimal
profit necessary to keep it out of debt.
Prices on the posters, records, and
stationery could also be adjusted to better
compete with downtown stores.

ROTC
The scholarships are not as easy for women to
get, Boatman admitted. He said he isn't even
sure how many women's scholarships there are,
but explained that the number is very small.
He pointed out, however, that women's participation in the nationwide ROTC, program is
"extremely successful".
Although women cadets are not required to
bear arms, Boatman said they have demonstrated a willingness to participate in all phases
of the program, including rifle marksmanship.
In the Air Force ROTC program, officers
said they too have noticed a new enthusiasm and
interest among students, and are quite pleased
with this semester's enrollment.
One Air Force instructor explained that there
is a slight decrease in enrollment from last year
but that "the ones we're getting are the ones who
want to come in." This, they claim, is condusive
to a good working atmosphere within the
program.
This semester, 233 students are enrolled in the
program. One hundred and thirty are freshmen,
and 16 are women.
Rabey said.
The Air Force department also beean a
program this semester with Anderson College.
"The students can take Anderson College
courses for credit in Clemson's classrooms,"
Rabey explained.
Once again, Rabey stressed that Anderson
College instigated the plan and asked for
Clemson's cooperation. He said that in this
particular case, the president of Anderson
College's student body requested on behalf of the
students that the program be started.
Two female students are currently under
contract to eventually serve active duty with the
Air Force and are drawing a $100 per month tax
free check.
According to Dr. W. Rabey Jr., head of the Air
Force ROTC staff, Clemson is doing very well in
comparison to other AFROTC schools. "We rank
second in the nation in the number of commissioned cadets, and third in the nation in the
total number of people involved in the program,"
"All that we want to do is make students
knowledgeable of the opportunities that are
available to them," said Rabey. He stressed that
Air Force ROTC is not trying to recruit, but
simply to let students in on a good thing.

A $250 Music System
is not an Appliance
If you are looking around for a
music system in the $250 price
range you can either go to an
audio specialist (like us), or to
a large home appliance center
or department store. Fearing
that in an audio specialty store
you won't be able to buy
anything for the amount of
money you have to spend, you
may well go first to talk to the
nice man who sold you your
refrigerator.
..Following him past the air
conditioners, all-in-one-stereotheatres, and freezers, you
come to the corner devoted to
stereo equipment. "Here's a
nice one," he says pointing at
a few nameless
boxes,
"marked down from $400 to
$200 just this week. Buy it.
You'll like it. If there is any
problem, just ship it back to
the factory."
..We at the Music Machine
have an alternative: our $250
Pioneer-Gerrard-Creative
Empire system. Our experience as specialists in
listening to, and carefully
evaluating
good
stereo
equipment gives us the ability
to carefully choose the best
values in low-priced equipment. Each component in our
$250 system has proved its
value and reliability.
..The amplifier is a Pioneer
Clemson Blvd.

Anderson, S.C.
Bose
Advent
JBL
Marantz
SA5200. There are controls for
balance, loudness, volume,
bass, and treble. There is
speaker selection switching
and a headphone jack. It
doesn't have the power to
shatter goblets, but it has
more power than you'd expect
and it reproduces music with a
clarity that is hard to find in
an inexpensive amplifier.
.. The speakers, Creative 77's,
are of a bookshelf design.
There is a 10" woofer, a 4"
mid-range, and
a
2V2"
tweeter. The bass is firm and
clean, and the highs are well
defined.
..The record changer we
recommend is the Gerrard
40B with the Empire 90EEX
magnetic cartridge. The
Gerrard handles 6 discs with
ease and has a well damped
cueing device. We include
base and dust cover and all
cables. The system price is
$250, which is $80.70 less than
the price at which we would
sell the components to you
separately. It is a great
starter system; it will get you
into quality stereo music, at a
price which will leave you
some money to buy records
with.
Come talk to us about it.
We're specialists, but we don't
bite. You may. Thank you.

Offensive line improved, Defense still???
By JIM LUCAS
fensive line had broken down again.
The Tiger offensive line - on
paper, at least - should be
somewhat better this year. It
almost has to be. Remember the
Tigers running what appeared to
be an option offense in certain
games last season? Actually,
what you saw was Pengitore
running for life after the of-
The tight end position is fairly
deep in respectable talent this
year. The starter will be Bennie
Cunningham; with unusual
quickness for his size (&-5, 240),
good hands, and a knack for
breaking tackles, Cunningham is
a pro-style tight end. Karl
Andreas, last year's starter, is
listed as the back-up at this
position; although not as
physically imposing (at 6-2, 212)
as
Cunningham,
Andreas
probably has better hands.
At wide receiver, Parker can
call on third-year starter Gordy
Bengel. Rated by the coaching
staff as possibly the finest athlete
on the team, Bengel has the
knack of catching the ball in a
crowd, and runs well after
making the reception. Backing
up Bengel will be sophomore
Craig Brantley, a 6-0, 168
speedster from Charlotte.
Two seniors, two juniors, and a
promising sophomore anchor the
Tiger blocking corps this year.
Gary Alexander, Bennie Cunningham's running mate at
Seneca, will hold down the quick
tackle spot; at 6-6, 230, Alexander
has great lateral pursuit and the
power to make it effective. The
center will be senior John
Bolubasz,
a
transplanted
linebacker who was moved to
center to fill the vacancy left by
Ricky Harrell. Senior Art
Brisacher will start at quick
guard, while junior Ken Peeples
will take the strong guard slot. At
strong tackle, junior Maret Cobb
will start, backed by Curt Buttermore.
The 73 Tiger defense is the key
to the upcoming season, and it is
perhaps more uncertain than the
offense. The linebacking corps previewed last week - is the only
part of the defense that may be
considered truly solid. The line
features three new starters, and
the secondary has been completely rebuilt.

Coach Parker has said that the
defensive end position is
potentially the Tigers' deepest
position. Starting at left end is
All-ACC candidate Jeff Stocks;
the 6-2, 198 senior is one of the
best at his position in the South.

The Citadel - another question mark
By KEITH CANNON
This Saturday afternoon at
Death Valley, Red Parker will
unveil his veer offense, as he
begins his Clemson football
coaching career against some old
friends from downstate.
The Citadel Bulldogs may not
prove to be the stiffest opposition
the Tigers will face this year, but
the contest will have its interesting sidelights, as the
motivation is there on both sides.
The Tigers would like to start off
on a winning note, especially in
playing against Parker's former
team, and Citadel head coach
Bobby Ross, also in his first year,
has said that his Bulldogs would
like nothing better than to whip
the Redhead. History will not be
in his favor, as the series stands
24-5-1 for the Tigers since the two
schools first played in 1909.
Clemson offensive backfield
coach Don Murray is one of three
assistants who went over the hill
with Parker when he left the
Citadel last winter. In an in-'
terview with The Tiger, he gave a
scouting report on his former
team.
Murray said that the Citadel's
offense "will be developed
"The team who makes the fewest mistakes will
win the game."
— Coach Don Murray
around their quarterback, Harry
Lynch." Lynch, a senior and a
two-year starter, was an allSouthern Conference selection
last year. Murray was eloquent in
praise of his former pupil: "He's
a threat every time he touches
the ball. Whatever he does best is
what they're going to do. He's an
excellent passer and a very good
runner."
The running backs, according
to Coach Murray, are in general,
neither big nor experienced. Only
one back with an experience
returns; Billy Paine, senior
fullback, who gained 584 yards
with a 5.8 average gain per carry
in 1972, will line up with Lonnie
Gibson, a promising sophomore.
Despite the inexperience,
Murray rates the backfield as
"good".
Harry Lynch may have trouble
finding people to throw to, as the
receiving corps "is one of their
questionable categories." The
loss of last year's leading
receiver, Ricky Crosby will
definitely hurt; Crosby was in-
jured in spring practice and will
be out till midseason. Ricky
Myatt, who "has had an excellent
preseason" is one of the better
pass-catchers.
In the offensive line, four of the
five starting linemen will be new.
Inexperience abounds, but
Murray says that "it could improve with time."
"Their defense very possibly
could be their best overall
strength," Coach Murray said of
a unit in which nine of eleven
expected starters are seniors. The
secondary, according to Murray,
"has been predicted as possibly
the best in the Southern Conference." Rusty Holt, the free
safety, "reacts to the ball well,
and covers a lot of ground. "His
cohorts, Billy Long and Carl
Startsman, are described as
"aggressive, challenging football
players."
The front line for the Bulldogs
is composed entirely of seniors.
"They're small in weight, but
have very good height," said
Murray, listing a 6-4, 6-5, 6-2, 6-2
front four. Senior Tony Cicoria
heads this corps. The linebackers
"have speed, and are capable of
good pass defense."
Bobby Ross, the new Citadel
coach, "has been exposed to
many different philosophies in
his career," as an assistant under
such coaches as Bill Peterson,
Marv Levy, and Lou Holtz.
Murray says, "He's very
thorough, and he demands
discipline. I don't think they'll be
making mistakes."
As to what the Bulldogs will do
Saturday afternoon, "On offense,
they'll utilize Lynch in whatever
way they can, as a runner, as a
passer, or on the option. They'll
probably throw and run equally,"
Murray said.
"There's some doubt as to what
they'll do on defense. They'll
have a tendency to stunt, to come
after us up front. They will
probably be cautious in the
secondary."
"The team who makes the
fewest mistakes will win the
game," Murray offered. With the
unpredictable "Tiger Triple"
pitted against the unpredictable
"Bulldog Veer", that prediction
may have some truth to it.
At middle guard, freshman
Nelson Wallace will start; the
Shrine Bowler from Pageland
won raves from Parker, who
called him "probably the
quickest defensive lineman I've
ever coached." Willie Anderson,
a starter last year at linebacker,
and sophomore Mark Boynton
will back up Wallace.
G. G. Galloway, who lettered
last fall as a freshman, returns to
take the starting position at right
tackle; voted the outstanding
lineman in South Carolina as a
senior at Hanna High in
Anderson, the 6-3,235 Galloway is
one of the strongest players on
the Tiger squad. Veteran Bruce
Decock, originally listed as a
linebacker, will man the starting
left tackle slot.
In the secondary, the Tigers
have three experienced players,
only one of whom started last
year, and a very promising
sophomore. Jim Ness, the lone
starter from last year's secondary, returns for his junior year
at strong safety. Marion Reeves,
a standout in the 17-7 win over
USC two years ago, will start at
left cornerback; probably the
best tackier in the defensive
backfield, Reeves had an excellent spring and shows signs of
returning to the fine form he
displayed as a sophomore. Ricky
Brown, a senior, will start at
weak safety.
The right cornerback, and
potentially the most exciting
player on this Tiger team, is
Peanut Martin. Martin is a very
capable defensive back, but he
will probably earn most of his
newspaper copy as the Tigers'
punt return man. In the Orange
and White game last spring,
Martin brought the crowed to its
feet with a brilliant 78-yard punt
return for a touchdown.

Booters kick off season with USC on Sunday
By KERRY CAPPS
Soccer, in terms of spectator
appeal, is the most popular sport
in the world. But in the United
States soccer has undergone a
long uphill climb to gain popular
exceptance, and though the sport
has finally established itself in
this country, for the most part it is
still in the embryonic stages of
development.
Only within the past several
weeks has soccer gained extensive national news attention,
and even then aided by the fact
that one of the major stars of the
professional soccer league, Kyle
Rote Jr., is the son of the former
All-Pro football star. Still, within
the last few years interest in the
game has expanded tremendously, with some high schools in
various areas of the country
abandoning football in favor of
soccer.
In this one area Clemson has
stayed ahead of the rest of the
nation. Soccer was established
here as a varsity sport seven
years ago, and throughout its first
five seasons experienced steady
growth. Then last season came
the big boom - thousands of
Clemson students and fans really
discovered soccer for the first
time. And they liked what they
saw, as the 1972 booters rolled to a
13-1-1 record, the Atlantic Coast
Conference championship, and
national acclaim.
This Sunday coach I. M.
Ibrahim will unveil the 1973
version of the Tigers to fans who
have been waiting ten months for
an encore to the '72 season, as the
Tigers will host the University of
South Carolina in the season's
opener.
And though the soccer program
at USC has not yet advanced to
the point where the Gamecocks
will pose any serious threat to the
Tigers, maintaining a degree of
respectability would be a big plus
for the visitors as they enter into
their first season with a full slate
of competition at the intercollegiate level. So even though
the game may prove to be a missmatch talent wise, the incentive
on both sides should be more than
enough to provide for an in--
teresting contest.
Coach Ibrahim plans to dress
out two full teams for the game,
and plans to "play" just about
every body, since we have
already agreed with Carolina on
the use of unlimited substitutions."
The two teams did not play in
1972, but when the two schools met
the previous year the Tigers
destroyed USC 13-1. That game is
the only previous meeting.
Clemson's tentative starting
lineup for Sunday's opener includes goalie Denis Carrington,
backs Ron Giesbers, Gordon
Alphonso, Ralston Moore, and Ed
Camara; midfield players Clyde
Watson, Alfred Morrison, Clyde
Browne, and Nabeel Kammoun;
and strikers Henry Abadi and
Woolley Ford.
Ibrahim declined to point out
any individual who stands out
over the rest of the team, "We just
have too many good players to
pick out one or two," the coach
said. "We hope to concentrate on
our performance as a team,
because we feel that the team is
Sports Briefs
Rugby
By GARY HOFMANN
The Clemson rugby club has
opened practice for the fall
semester with two intra-squad
scrimmage games in preparation
for this Sunday's season opener
here against Davidson.
Though the performance by the
team in the first practice sessions
was quite ragged, the Tiger
ruggers show the potential for
improvement as the season
progresses, and as some of the
newcomers gain experience.
Though the team will be counting
on some new players to come
through for the fall season, the
primary strength of the team will
come from a number of returnees
from last season's team. First
year coach Jim Howard hopes to
shape the squad into a winner,
and to improve on last semester's
performance.
The game this Sunday will get
underway at 2 p.m. on the rugby
field located behind Death
Valley.
Tennis
All students with high school
tennis team and tournament
experience are encouraged by
tennis coach W. F. Beckwith to
try out for the Clemson varsity
tennis team.
Tryouts will be held throughout
the fall, Monday through Friday
from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the
university
tennis
courts
Interested persons should contact
either head coach Don Bruley or
coach Beckwith at the Hoke Sloan
Tennis Center.
Intramurals
All students, faculty or staff
members
interested
in
Intramural soccer may sign up
for tournament play in the intramural office, located in the
basement of Fike Recreation
Center. The department plans to
start soccer on Monday, September 17th. The final day to sign
up will be Thursday, September
13th.
This year the department will
require a $10.00 deposit for each
team, as is the policy for all other
major sports. Any questions can
be answered by the Inramural
Department at 656-2101.
potentially better than the sum of
the individual talent."
All-ACC fullback Ron Giesbers
says that the Tigers are "very
excited" about Sunday's opener
with Carolina.
Ibrahim has put in a 4-4-2 setup
for the coming season, and that
new system necessitated certainchanges in the Tigers' method of
play. Giesbers explained the new
system from his back position.
"Basically we will play the same
fullback system as last year, but
now we will have more support
from the wings. The fullbacks will
also become part of the offense at
times. This new playing style will
involve a great deal of switching
on the parts of the backs."
Ibrahim says that to his
knowledge this is the first time
that the 4-4-2 has been used at the
collegiate level.
The South Carolina game will
get underway at 2:00 p.m. at the
soccer field across from Fike
Field House. Gates will open at ,
1:00 p.m., and Clemson students
will be admitted upon presentation of an I.D. card.
Swimmers needed
The Clemson swimming team
is preparing to open pre-season
tryouts within the next two
weeks. The team will be hoping to
improve on last season's 2-8
record, but despite the addition of
a number of promising incoming
freshmen, the team still needs
more swimmers and divers with
the potential for intercollegiate
competition.
All men students interested in
joining the team for tryouts are
asked to contact Coach McHugh
in room 101-D Freeman Hall as
soon as possible.

Day care expands to meet local needs
By DOTTI PRIDDY
In a university town such as
Clemson, child day care service
is likely to be a major community
concern. With a large percentage
of mothers doubling as students,
teachers, and family cosupporters of varying occupations, there is a great
demand for nursery schools, all
day kindergartens, and day care
centers.
Unfortunately for Clemson
residents, the supply can not
always meet the demand, but
several innovations in the last
few years are helping to alleviate
the problem. Most recently, the
Clemson Day Care Center is in
the process of doubling its
enrollment as a result of newly
acquired federal funds.
The center, which is sponsored
by the Clemson chapter of the
South Carolina Council on Human
Relations, has been open since
1968. Since that time the Council
has unsuccessfully attempted to
secure funding from such
agencies as the Office of
Economic Opportunity and the
Catholic Fund for Human
Development, while the center
has thrived on private contributions and volunteer services.
Finally, in 1971, the Council
was able to
make
an
arrangement for funds with the
Appalachian Council of Governments, but it has taken two years
to receive the necessary matching funds from the Department
of Health, Education, and
Welfare. Effective now as of June
1, the federal funds will permit
the center to increase its personnel form a staff of three to
thirteen, and its enrollment from
25 to 55.
Open Monday through Friday
from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., the
center accepts children from
ages three to five, with fees
charged on a sliding scale according to income. Children
coming from families with an
annual income of less than $5,000
are accepted free.
Included in the expansion
program is an emphasis on
cultural mixing. "We want to
expand our services to include
children from all backgrounds,"
said Bernice Holt, Chairman of
the Council's Day Care Center
Committee. "If there are student
children in the area who need day
care service, we would like very
much to have them in our
program."
Federal requirements state
that the Day Care-Center have
one adult worker for every seven
children. Volunteers are relied on
to a large extent to fill this need.
In addition, the center employs a
child development specialist and
a speech and drama teacher.
"We're trying to develop the
children culturally, emotionally,
and intellectually," said Becky
Jo Clark, director of the Center.
She explained that the center
emphasizes comprehensive child
development and is therefore
much more than just a
babysitting service.
At the same time that the
Clemson Day Care Center
program is expanding, privately
owned day care facilities are also
increasing. Lorene Burns, who
has operated the Play Time
Nursery in Clemson for over two
years, has added a kindergarten
to her service this year. The
advantage of such a kindergarten, which is licensed by
the state and taught by a certified
teacher, is that after the morning
classes the children are able to
remain the rest of the day along
with the nursery school children.
The nursery accepts children
who are twelve months old and
walking until they reach school
age. According to state
requirements, it must have one
adult worker for every ten or
twelve children, depending on
age, and thirty square feet per
child.
Although she has room for
further expansion, Mrs. Burns
plans to limit her school's
enrollment to its present average
of fifty children. "I believe I
could actually get one hundred,"
she said, claiming that she has
already turned down six applicants for kindergarten this
term and twenty for the day care
service. Openings are filled on a
first come, first served basis, for
no waiting list is maintained.
The Play Time Nursery was
originally started on an hourly or
daily basis, but now as a result of
rapid growth, only full time
students are accepted. "I didn't
realize there were this many
children in Clemson," said Mrs.
Burns, who gets most of her
children from university related
families.
In nearby Pendleton, the
Pendleton Day Nursery has been
in operation for a year under the
direction of Mr. and Mrs. William
E. Swaney. It handles ten to
fifteen children a day between
walking and school ages. No
university connected children
attend the nursery at the present
time, according to Mr. Swaney,
and quite a few applications have
been turned down. However, the
Swaneys are planning to expand
their facilities to hold twenty-five
to thirty children sometime in the
near future.
A third private day care service in the Clemson area, one
which has been in existence for
fifteen years, is the Kiddie Kare
schools operated by Mrs. Thomas
C. Stewart. Consisting of a
nursery school, a play school, and
a kindergarten, Kiddie Kare
handles an average of seventy
children from ages two through
five. Mrs. Stewart claims that
very few of her children are not
university related and that she
has little trouble filling almost all
of her applications. "I hardly
ever turn any away," she said.
The Kiddie Kare schools work
closely with the university in both
placing children and obtaining
workers, according to Mrs.
Stewart.
For those mothers whose day
care needs run short of full time
services, the Clemson United
Methodist Church offers a
"Mother's Day Out" program.
Open Monday to Friday from 9:00
a.m. to 12:00 noon, the program
takes in children from birth to
age five. No reservations are
required and on an average day
twelve to fifteen children participate.
Crib facilities are available and
the children, who are watched by
two women.from the church, are
served juice and cookies. Mrs.
Donald C. Amoss, church
secretary, explained that the
program is the only one of its kind
in Clemson and that it is "run as a
service to the community, mainly
helping students."
