" Women's ArhUTics- A NEW look AT TiqERTOWN the Bill Shipman-coached fencers underthe administration of men's mentor Charlie Poteat; and the lady netters, also coached by Ms. Kennerty, under Chuck Kriese's ad- ministration. "We're getting started with a solid program, " said Ms. Kennerty. "In some instances, women's programs have been separated to the extent that they operate on one side of the campus in one facility, and the men have their own facility on the other side of campus. "It's not that way at Clemson, as the women's program is fortunate to have individuals like Bill McLellan and Bill Foster, people who are experienced in the field of athletics, giving us a boost." McLellan, Clemson's AD since February of 1971, pointed out that the University "has tried to meet the needs of its female enrollment. We're funding four women's var- sity programs, and the fact that both men and women use the same facility is an added plus." Clemson is a member of the AIAW (the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women), which is a national organization, as well as the SCAIAW, which is the South Carolina association of that national organization. Membership in the AIAW permits the women to par- ticipate in regional and national events, just as the Tigers' membership in the NCAA permits the men to participate in that organization's regional and national events. Ms. Kennerty has a tentative 16-game cage slate scheduled for the Tiger women, plus the Francis Marion Invitational, the South Carolina State Tourney, and hopefully an Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament. All Mary Kennerty home games will be played in spacious Littlejohn Col- iseum. "The best thing about our program is the fact that we're Unlike the men, the big tourney of the Tiger women is the all in the same family, " said Mary Kennerty, head coach of both the women's basketball and tennis teams at Clemson. State Tournament, not the ACC, as the champion and the runner-up both land a berth in the 16-team field at the "And I can't help but believe that this gives us a much better foundation than if the men operated under one roof, and regionals. the women under a separate one.

Clemson is also a member of the Amateur Fencing League of America (AFLA), which is the fencing division of the AAU, and this permits both men and women fencers at Tigertown to compete on a state-wide or regional basis throughout the Southeast. Ms. Kennerty, who has taught and offered tennis in- struction for the past seven years in addition to serving as girls' basketball coach for one season at Atlanta's Russell High School, hopes for a 20-25 matcn slate for the wom- en's Tiger netters. The USLTA (United States Lawn Tennis Association) sponsors a National Women's Collegiate Tennis Championship, which is open to any member of the team. Whereas this year's lady cagers will mark the first sea- son ever for them at Tigertown, the women's tennis and swimming team ran on a club level last year, and Clemson has sponsored a women's fencing team, also on a club level, for the past few seasons. Just a quarter of a century ago, Clemson was an all-male A&M college. Today, the school's rapidly expanding ath- letic program includes four women's teams with ex- perienced and well-qualified coaches, and with facilities that the vast majority of the nation s men's teams at major institutions around the country would boast of. To borrow a much-used cliche, Clemson "has come a long way, baby, " in its initial season with women s inter- Tennis coach Mary Kennerty, a member of the United States Lawn Tennis collegiate varsity teams as part of its athletic program.
