DOING IT RIGHT, DOING IT BETTER<\/h3>\n

\"SeniorPlatoon2013\"Marching into history<\/h3>\n

This spring, members of the Clemson Senior Platoon once again gathered on campus to celebrate their Clemson history. The first drill team ever established at Clemson, the platoon was founded in 1930 by Gator Farr as a way to reward senior cadets for three years of hard work. The group remained active from 1930 through 1960, when Clemson became a civilian school.
\nThe platoon has performed at home football games, bowl games and even once at Yankee Stadium. Through the years, the Clemson Senior Platoon has contributed more than $25 million back to Clemson, making it one of the most generous groups in the University\u2019s history. Under the leadership of Sanford Smith \u201955, the platoon still performs at events such as the First Friday Parade and Military Appreciation Day.

\"FlagSC\"Become a Clemson advocate!<\/h3>\n

The Enterprise Act, a bill that would allow Clemson to operate some of its non-academic functions more like a business, was passed by the S.C. Senate this spring, but didn\u2019t make it through the House before the legislative session ended. The bill would give the University\u2019s Board of Trustees the authority to move such functions as athletics, research and economic development into a new \u201centerprise division\u201d that would be able to do such things as buy and sell property without going through the process required for state agencies.
\nIt\u2019s needed, Clemson officials say, because the bureaucracy of state government frequently inhibits the institution\u2019s ability to undertake projects with private business and industry in a timely manner to respond to market conditions. You can be an advocate for Clemson at the state level. For more information, or to sign up, go to clemson.edu\/governmentalaffairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
