The ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø Academic Council is pleased to announce that BEERSIG has been granted status as a regular, sanctioned ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø Special Interest Group. After a very short but heated discussion, the Council decided that because BEERSIG continues to be one of the more highly attended ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø Conference events that recognition and inclusion as an ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø sponsored entity was not only appropriate and deserved but necessary in order to maintain ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø’s perception as a "welcoming" organization. As a result of the Council’s action, the opening reception at all future Summer and Winter ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø Conferences will hereafter be known as official BEERSIG events. Since BEERSIG is now under the ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø umbrella, ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø, rather than the BEERSIG founding fathers, will provide beer. Consequently drink tickets will become a thing of the past. Rather, all ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø members will now be given a Clemson Tiger Paw when they register which, as before, entitles them to attend and participate in BEERSIG. Any beer remaining from the opening reception will be available to ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø members on an ongoing basis in the Academic Council President’s hotel suite bathtub. Finally, and as is the case with all ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø SIGs, ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø members will now have the opportunity to divert certain of their regular ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø dues to the maintenance and perpetuation of BEERSIG as well as contributing to the BEERSIG founding fathers’ retirement funds.
