By: Siri H. Burke Recently, as of February it was suggested by students that they were not quite satisfied with the quality of life on campus. It was implied that this was due to lack of childlike wonder and whimsical opportunities on campus. A proposal was made and submitted by students to Winthrop that a new department be opened called the the Department of Joy and Whimsy.

Bigstuff X Cocky (Tiger)

They competed with each other as they grew up in various sports and academic events. Between these they have gotten to know each other well, even though they didn’t want to. At their last football match against each other, they shook hands both knowing that that was probably the last time they would see each other. You see Bigstuff was staying in SC and going to SCU while Cocky w...
