Clemson ' s outstanding, and favorite liberal art . . . shooting the bull. At any place and any time on the campus . . . the canteen, loggia, dining hall, or in class . . . there ' i someone you know and a simple hello can turn into hours of conversation. Anywhere you turn there are groups laughing, scorning, or griping.
