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. From a dis- cussion of world events on the loggia, a pinball tournament, to complaints of prob- lems arising out of the morning ' s quizzes . . . you ' ll find the invisible bond that unites Clemson students . . . fellowship. Shooting the bull and killing time— the greatest way in the world to relieve the tension. 16

Campus organizations with their fel- lowship, friendship, and initiations . . . the crack of a paddle on flesh . . . yes, sir, that ' s friendship. The paddle . . . the once prime weapon of Clemson in days gone by . . . brings familiar sights to older students and a week of sweat, strain, and a little fear to the newer arrivals. A time for wearing of the initiation plaques, a time for keeping the old members supplied in candy, cigarettes, and amusement. When the last day of initiation rolls around, some of the initiates swing into high spirits with an array of customs. Characters from Robin Hood to Zeus take time from the hard routine of serious study to have a final fling. These are the campus organizations the mixture of friendship, scholar- ship and recognition . . . the key to a successful college campus.
