There was also transition in the Athletic Department as Bobby Robinson succeeded Bill McClellan as Athletic Director. Robin- son took over the position after McClellan resigned under the some controversy as Bill Atchley. The first football game earmarked the freedom of the Fighting Tigers from a three year sentence of probation. The team was free at last to go to yet another bowl game. However, after a 6-5 season, the only con- solations were a victory over arch-rival South Carolina and a trip to the Indepen- dence Bowl. Once again, downtown Clemson under- went transformations.

Deli. Clemson's only dance establishment, College Station, closed while Crazy Zack's opened on the corner of College Avenue and Highway 93, then went out of business at the beginning of spring semester. And finally, Strawberry's, the closest establish- ment to campus serving mixed drinks, was closed and then renamed Lester's. One factor that may have contributed to these transitions was the change in the e drinking age. One now had to be 20 to consume beer and wine, soon to be 21 for all alcohol. Change and transition also involved the yearbook. TAPS is now entering its third quarter century and is now 576 pages, the largest ever. Incorporated are more graph- ics, over one hundred pages of color, excit- ing photography, and expanded sections for more coverage. TAPS also entered the computer age as three IBM PC XT's were added to the repertoire of equipment. Through all of the transitions this year, TAPS 1986 promises to be a yearbook ex- travaganza. 6 - OPENING
