[edit] Events on February 7 in Clemson's History
- 1972: The Foreign Films series screens The Good Soldier Schweik (Švejk), a German-made comedy from the classic anti-war Czech novel by Jaroslav Hašek about a Sad Sack-like character who innocently confronts military authority but always emerges unscathed. In some ways, a prototype for Joseph Heller's Catch-22. Shown in Daniel Auditorium at 7 p.m. Heinz Rühmann stars as Schweik, with subtitles.

- 1975: The Clemson Little Theatre presents the Edward Albee play Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf in the Food Industries Auditorium. Admission is $2.50 for adults, $1 for students.
- 1980: Presidential hopeful John Connally begins a ten-city campaign tour of South Carolina with an appearance at the Clemson House. Unfortunately for Connally, who would have been Richard Nixon's party heir apparent in 1976, except for that nasty little Watergate break-in problem which led to Tricky Dick abdicating the throne, the former Texas governor suddenly found himself an outsider when former Vice President Gerald Ford decided to validate his accension to the presidency by running for re-election. Connally's hopes to regain the path to the White House will go unfulfilled.
- 2005 - Former Hardee's restaurant across Walter Cox Boulevard from the intramural fields is razed in preparation for the construction of condominiums on the site.
- 2007: The Men's basketball team hosts Florida State in Littlejohn Coliseum at 7:30 p.m.
