fhen I hear the name Chad Carson I think "w;of someone who is very mature, respon- sible, and disciplined," said Bill D'Andrea, director of student-athlete enrichment. "He always demon- strates a seriousness about his academics, weightlifting and football. Whatever Chad Carson undertakes, he puts his all into it. If he decided to take up the art of sewing, he would create a mas- terpiece."

Chad Carson, the first team weakside linebacker for the Tigers, is the epitome of a college student- athlete. However, you don't hear much about the

Chad Carson's of college football. He is a great competitor in the classroom as well as on the field.

For him to excel the way he does both in academ- ics and athletics is a true testimony to his charac- ter, maturity and discipline.

Being a student athlete is not always an easy feat. However, Carson has managed to crush the stereotype that is placed upon some athletes. In Carson's three years as a Tiger, he has accumu- lated a 3.93 GPA in biology with a minor in Ger- man. He has also been a member of the ACC aca- demic honor roll for the past three years. Carson spends what free time he has reading books such as "Atlas Shrugged," a 1,200-page novel about objectivism.

Clemson's homecoming game versus North Carolina will mark the continuing tradition of one of the most evenly matched series in Tiger history. Clemson leads the all-time series against the Tar Heels 31-17-1 and has defeated UNC two consecutive years under Head Coach Tommy Bowden following three straight UNC victories by seven points or more. The Tigers also won six out of the 10 contests against the Tar Heels in the 1990s, and among those victories was their larg- est ever over UNC, a 40-7 victory at Death Valley in 1992. It was also the largest margin of victory in Clemson history against a ranked team.

Clemson currently holds a 1 5-6 home record all- time against North Carolina and a 14-10-1 record in games played in Chapel Hill. The Tigers are 13- 9-1 in games at UNC's Kenan Stadium, and last year's Tiger victory there featured the biggest Clemson comeback since 1992.

After falling behind 17-0 in the first half, the ad- versity facing the Tigers seemed to take an over- whelming turn. Quarterback Woodrow Dantzler, the

Tigers' candidate, left the game with 6:32 remaining before halftime when he in- jured his foot on a 24-yard quarterback scramble. Stepping into his place was redshirt freshman Willie Simmons, who revived the Tiger offense with a 29- William Perry was a big reason Clemson was 4-0 against North Carolina between 1 981 yard touchdown pass to Jackie Robinson 50 sec- and 1 984.

To achieve that ambitious goal.

"South Carolina students deserve to have ac- cess to a top-tier education without leaving their home state," he said. "Building Clemson's aca- demic, research and service programs to the level where we can compete with anyone will benefit our state, our students, and our alumni."

Considerable progress Is already being made toward achieving a top-20 ranking. In the past year, Clemson was named TIME Magazine's Public

A total of seven teams posted GPAs over 3.0 in the

spring semester of 2001 , the most in school history for a single semester. Six programs posted all-time highs for semester GPA, including the football, men's soccer, women's soccer, men's swimming, women's swimming and rowing teams. The Clemson football team had a 2.58 team GPA in the spring, significantly ahead of the previous high of 2.49 set in the spring semester of 2000. Tommy Bowden has been the head coach at Clemson for five semesters and his team has had five of the top six semesters on record. Thirty-seven Clemson football

players made the academic honor roll, the high total among Clemson teams for the semester. The Academic Counselors perform a variety of duties to track academic progress. These duties

T_ Vickery Hall is no exception, as the $3 million I \J structure is as impressive aesthetically as any of

the other facilities. But the importance of Vickery Success Hall to the Clemson University Athletics Depart- ment is not found in the structure itself, but in the many programs that the building houses.

Vickery Hall opened in the spring of 1 991 and was the first support facility in the country built solely for the all-around education of student-athletes. The two-story, 27,000 square-foot building is open throughout the day and into the evening to accommodate the extended schedules of student-athletes.

The mission of the Student-Athlete Enrichment Programs is to monitor, guide, and encourage student-athletes to fulfill their long-term goals, and to achieve their academic and career potential. Vickery Hall focuses on five primary areas to meet the student-athlete's needs.

ACADEMIC COMMITMENT The academic commitment aspect of Clemson's Student-Athlete Enrich- ment Programs has provided one of the best academic support and advising programs in the nation. Clemson's student-athletes had a 2.80 GPA for the spring semester in 2001, the highest overall GPA on record. The overall student body had a 2.82, and the 0.02 margin between the student-athletes and the overall stu- dent population was the smallest differential on record. A record 28 student- athletes were named to the President's List (a perfect 4.0) and a record 97 The Dick Hendley Computer Lab is one of the areas of Vickery Hall student-athletes made the dean's list for the spring semester of 2001 .

SERVICE COMMITMENT

One of the key components of this program is the first-semester freshman Providing community and outreach service to student-athletes and the transition class designed to assist the student-athlete in making a successful surrounding community by engaging the student-athletes in hands-on inter- transition into his/her university and athletic life. All first-semester freshmen active programs is an important aspect of the Student-Athlete Enrichment attend a semester-long series of workshops targeting the transitional issues Programs. The staff of SAEP coordinates various activities each year to of time management, organizational strategies, health and wellness issues, engage student-athletes in community outreach projects along with academic athletic issues, diversity issues, career orientation, and service training. programs.

Throughout the academic year, all student-athletes are required to attend four Another aspect of the service commitment is that of community service. The purpose of community service is to allow the student-athletes to become involved with the happenings of the community while giving back at the same time. Each year every team is required to perform at least two community outreach projects. Recently implemented was a new community service program entitled Success Away From the Game. The purpose of this program

is to combine athletes of different sports in community outreach programs. By doing this, each outreach program participates, thus creating a diverse group of athletes with new and different ideas. At the end of each year, six student- athletes who have demonstrated outstanding commitment and contributions to the community are recognized as the Top 6 by the ACC. LIFELine. another aspect of community service, consists of chosen football players who work together in specific community outreach projects. LIFELine has approximately 20 members along with a president, vice president and secretary. Once a month, these young men meet to discuss future projects. To date, they have sponsored Hi-Five Day, planted a garden at Helping Hands Children Shelter, and held reading programs at elementary schools. These young men have vital roles in both the community and the athletic arena. To assist our student-athletes in becoming effective service leaders and communicators we provide service and speaking training, which anticipates the demands placed on a student-athlete when he/she might be speaking with a group of young people or also speaking with the media.

ATHLETIC COMMITMENT

Under the direction of athletic director Bobby Robinson, Clemson is

undoubtedly one of the elite programs of Division I athletics. With a generous funding base from Clemson's booster organization, IPTAY, and the fonward-thinking of our athletic administration, the Clemson Tigers will continue to be a dominating athletic force, not only in the ACC, but na- tionally as well.

Clemson was commended for its graduation rate in football by the Coaches Association in 1 999 and 2000. Three members of the 2000 team who celebrated graduation in May of2001 were Terry Bryant, Rod Gardner and Jason Holloman.

A Road Map for Academic Excellence

STUDEKT POWER

Clemson is as strong as its student body. On the road to becoming a top- 20 public university,

Clemson is working hard to attract more top scholars, provide academic support that will improve scholarship

retention and graduation rates, and provide a safe, enjoy- able and healthful environment.

We're off to a good start.

To strengthen student achievement both in and out of class, Clemson has these new projects and programs.

• Clemson National Scholars, a feature of a bigger, better scholarship

program making the University competitive for top students in the nation.

• Academic Support Center, modeled after the successful student-athlete enrichment program at Clemson's Vickery Hall.

• Class of 1941 Studio for Student Communication, an expansion of the award-winning Pearce Center for Professional Communication.

• Fike Recreation Center renovation, a project that will give students

one of the finest recreation facilities on a college campus.

• Two new dormitories that will allow demolition of outdated housing. • Calhoun Honors College's new home in Tillman Hall. • Expanded services and programming at the state-of-the-art Hendrix Student Center.

South Carolina deserves to have a top-20 public university within its borders, and Clemson students deserve to have the strongest all-round educational experience that such a university can provide. SPIRIT AT BEIK

He was incredible and gained so 1 1 in the second half. ESPN named him Amateur much confidence during the season." Perry Tuttle said Jordan was a "peanut-butter- sandwich-eating-country boy" who made magic.

Jordan was known as a man of little words, but a lot of action. "I don't know if we truly knew it at the time, but that was our goal—to win the national championship—that's what was instilled in us—to shoot for playing in the Orange Bowl," Jordan re- calls. "Coach (George) Dostal had pictures of or- anges in the weight room in the preseason." The Maryland game on November 14 was one of Jordan's finest moments. Clemson had just the lone victory (1 978) in the previous nine tries against the Terps. Going into the 1981 Maryland game, the Tigers were 9-0 with the ACC Championship at stake. Jordan was brilliant completing 20-29 passes for 270 yards with three touchdowns. Tuttle caught 10 of those passes for 151 yards and two touch- downs, while fellow senior Jerry Gaillard finished his career at home with his first touchdown catch.

"It was exciting for me to score a touchdown, but I got as much enjoyment catching short passes and

blocking as I did catching that touchdown." Jordan, always understated, was proud of his senior teammate and remembers telling him, "Smokey (Gaillard's nickname on the team for be- ing so fast and leaving everyone in his 'smoke')

I'm throwing it. Don't drop it, 'cause this is the only one you get!", Jordan laughed remembering the pass. "It was his chance and his moment." Jerry Gaillard's touchdown reception was a big factor in Clemson's 21 -7 win over Maryland. It was the senior's first career touchdown in his final home game.
