Established in 1907 as a bi-weekly news and sports journal, The Tiger is South Carolina's oldest college newspaper. The weekly national award-winning publication has a circulation of about 12,000 and is distributed every Friday on and off campus. Today, The Tiger office is located inside Clemson University's Hendrix Student Center, its home since 2000. Previously, the newspaper had been located for many years on the ninth floor of the University Union. In October of 1997, the organization began the The Tiger: Online Edition which now manages to serve an average of 7,000 visitors a week. Although the newspaper used to receive funding each year from the University, The Tiger became financially independent in 2004. (More...)

TIGERS WIN! Over 380 applications collected! THANK YOU!

We have the application needed, now we’ve begun putting everything together to hand over to the DMV.

This is where we need everyone’s help. What we need from you – if “ANY” information has changed on your application since you submitted it we need a new one - no if, and, or buts. If you changed your name, address, vehicle, tag, or expiration date we need a new application. This is to comply with DMV’s request. The application can be found at http://www.dmv.state.va.us/webdoc/pdf/vsa10.pdf .

I am requesting that you mail your application directly to me by June 4th (this does not mean put it in the mail on June 4th).

You are probably asking, when will we get the tags for our car. The DMV website states that it will take a “minimum” of 6 weeks from the date they receive the packet. Once I get a better timely line I will let you know. “Please” do not send me emails in 6 weeks asking where your tags are. The patch will be submitted in June.

Thanks for sticking with the Tiger Tag Team over the years.

One Clemson,

• May 4: The Clemson Wiki project main page tallies hit 48,000.
• April 29: A letter from Esther Revis-Wagner:

Dear Friends,

I apologize for sending this electronically. However, I felt each of you

would want to know sooner rather than later that Ken's mother, Betty

Johnson, passed away this morning. While her health has been steadily

declining for a couple of months, we are relieved that she did not suffer

a lengthy or painful illness. She would have been 93 in another 34 days,

and as most of you know she packed a lot of fun and joy into those years.

Like her husband, Ted, Mom's ashes will be sprinkled in the lakes she

loved in both Florida and Maine. Hence, there will be no public funeral

or memorial service. Since Mom loved good music, dinner out, and a good

cold beer we are planning a wake to be held at Nick's later next month.

Details will follow soon. In lieu of flowers please consider a memorial

donation to the Clemson Downs Volunteers. These wonderful folks made

Mom's last four years in Clemson better in more ways than we can express.

Thanks to each of your for your love and friendship.

Fondly,

Esther
