The Tiger and Tiger Club Mascot Tradition
In 2011-2012, Tiger fans will see Chris Alston, a junior Computer Engineering major from Atlanta, Ga and Christopher “Kit” Southwick, a senior Sports marketing major from St. Albans, VT share duties as “The Tiger” and Sarah Newburn, a senior Special Education major from Greenville, SC in her third year as “The Tiger Cub” mascot. Assisting Sarah is Marshall Saunders, a senior Ag Mechanization & Business major from Piney River, VA.
Since 1954, a Clemson student has adorned the mascot suit to entertain the Clemson faithful. Joined in 1993 by The Tiger Cub, these furry creatures can be seen imitating game officials (which is now against the rules), signing autographs, getting their picture taken with dignitaries (President Reagan, President Bush, Olympic athletes, among others), shooting the cannon, or doing “Pushups” each time Clemson scores.
Two of the fan favorite mascots were the all-time pushup leader (2,216) Mike Bays (’94-’97) who was third in the 1996 UCA National Mascot Championships and Chris Peters (’92-’93) who spent the 1995 football season as the mascot of the Memphis Mad Dogs of the World Football League. The “Eye of the Tiger” will always shine bright for the Clemson mascot due to an endowment set-up by Stuart McWhorter (’88-89) and his father Clayton in 1995.
Here are just a few of the great experiences by the Clemson mascots: One of McWhorter’s funniest moments was in Columbia in 1989 when he grabbed a tuba from a member of Tiger Band during halftime of the USC game. He ran on the field and created general havoc until being chased away by an offended Carolina band member.
Said Jay Williams, “It was an honor to be the first Tiger Cub.” “It was exciting create a personality and seeing the kids faces. The Tiger is more traditional, the fighting Tiger, but I am innocent, playful childlike mascot that the smaller kids really enjoy. The Cub adds a new dimension and means of interacting with the crowd.”

Reviews for "The Magic of Perfection: How Victoria's Secret Sets Beauty Standards"
1. Samantha - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with Victoria's Secret Magic fragrance. The scent was overly sweet and overpowering, almost giving me a headache when I wore it. It lacked the sophistication and elegance I expected from a Victoria's Secret perfume. Additionally, the fragrance didn't last very long on my skin, requiring frequent reapplication throughout the day. Overall, I regretted purchasing this perfume and wouldn't recommend it.
2. Michael - 1 star - Victoria Secret Magic was a major letdown for me. I found the scent to be generic and unoriginal, lacking any distinctiveness or uniqueness. It smelled like a cheap, synthetic fragrance, rather than a luxurious perfume. The longevity of the scent was also disappointing, as it faded away within an hour or two. For the price, I expected much better quality and a more captivating scent. I won't be repurchasing this fragrance.
3. Emily - 2 stars - I was excited to try out Victoria Secret Magic perfume, but it didn't live up to my expectations. The scent was too floral and overwhelming, giving me a headache every time I wore it. It lacked the subtlety and sophistication I associate with Victoria's Secret fragrances. The longevity was also poor, as the scent disappeared within a few hours. I was really disappointed with this purchase and would advise others to sample it before buying.
