Dear Fred:

Thank you very much for your letter and the expression
of your concerns regarding alcoholic beverages used by attendees
at Our football games.

We noted a slight increase in the number of alcoholic
incidents associated with the Georgia game. Our folks seem to
believe this was attributable primarily to Georgia fans who have
a rather heady tradition of drinking at football games, as well
as the later starting time for this special event which allowed
more people opportunities to sip beer prior to the game.

I would also note that we have experienced no greater
problems with alcoholic related incidents at our Panther games
than at Our regular football games where, of course, no alcohol
is sold. Our sense is that beer consumption is really minor
at both the Clemson and Carolina football games, certainly reflecting
the family values which are a part of the history of this institution.
The Georgia game was an exception and one which we share your
concerns.

egards,


Constantine W. Curris
President
