South Carolina has not been defeated by 30 points since 1974, when they played the Bulldogs in Athens with a final score of 52-14.

Will Helms @WHELMS21

There are bad football teams and there are bad, uninspired football teams. South Carolina is the latter.

The Gamecocks fell just short last week in their SEC opener against Kent uck y. They came out f lat, heading into halftime down 24-7, but came back to within two before ultimately losing 26-22.

Flash forward a week to Athens, Georgia. The Gamecocks went down 17-3 before scoring a touchdown on the following drive. Starting quarterback Perry Orth ran it in from four yards out to cap a nine play, 72-yard drive and move the score to 17-10. It was downhill from there.

A fter Georgia scored a quick touchdown, the Gamecocks scored on a 51-yard field goal by junior Elliott Fry set up by a long Shon Carson kick return. It was a careerlong for Fry. Through t wo games, t he Gamecocks have been bad in the

first half and great in the second half.

Saturday, they were bad in the first and terrible in the second.

Georgia received the second half kickoff and scored in 1:45. Georgia then converted an Orth interception into an 11-yard touchdown on the first play of the drive.

G eorg ia r u n n i ng back a nd Heisman contender Nick Chubb tacked on his second touchdown of the game to put the Bulldogs up 4513 at the end of the third quarter.

When the dust had settled, the Gamecocks trudged out of Sanford Stadium with a 52-20 loss.

Uninspired play Not only did t he Gamecocks look bad against the Bulldogs, they looked, lazy, undisciplined and frankly, uninspired.

South Carolina seemed to give up after allowing Georgia’s first second half touchdown. The team then committed several unsportsmanlike conduct and personal foul penalties and instigated a scuffle.

It seemed at t i me s t h at t he Gamecock players lost faith in their coaching staff. Following last week’s game, starting tailback Brandon Wilds openly criticized Spurrier’s play-calling. If the legendary coach has indeed lost t he fait h of his players, the Gamecocks could face a long, disappointing season.

Record-breaker Georgia quarterback Greyson Lambert, who many thought would throw less than 15 passes against t he Gamecocks, set t he NCA A record for the highest completion percentage in a single game.

The junior went an astounding 24-25 with 330 yards and three touchdow ns. He completed his last 20 passes to set another school record.

The Gamecocks did not slow Chubb either, as the sophomore finished with 159 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries.

Irmo firefighter proposes to girlfriend at end of 5K According to WIS, 25-year-old firefighter Matt Malo proposed to his girlfriend, Danielle Sharkey, after they finished the Columbia “Tunnel to Towers” run. Malo’s fellow firefighters knew about his plan, but Sharkey was taken completely by surprise.

“You will never be prepared when somebody asks you to marry them if they do a good job,” Sharkey said.

The couple has been together for three years, and Malo has worked with the Irmo Fire Service for the past two years. They plan to get married late next year.

The annual Greek Festival in Columbia draws big crowds of culture lovers who enjoy the Greek dancing, food and traditions.

Rachel Lunsford @RML_RJR

Ever y year, Columbia’s Greek community provides the city with a fa nfa re of food, da nc i ng a nd Greek traditions, and this year was no exception. This past weekend from September 17 to 20, the 29th Annual Columbia’s Greek Festival was a great success, offering cultural

events, good eats and shopping. “[There’s] something for every member of the family,” said Robert Stewart, the promotions committee chairman of the festival.

Their slogan, “Be Greek for a Week,” brought in hopeful “Greeks” from around the South Carolina community.

T he event was centered at Columbia’s Holy Trinit y Greek

Orthodox Church and spread out from there. Cultural events included tours of the church, informational v ideos, d isc ussions, l ive music, Spartan warriors and Greek folk d a nc i n g.

The play tells the story of French Queen Marie Antoinette during the Revolution.

Parks Beson @TDG_ARTS

Across tow n in t he V ista, t he Tr ust us Theat re was packed for the fi rst viewing of the play “Marie A ntoi net te,” w r it ten by Dav id Adjmi.

Called “virt uosic” by t he New York Times, Adjmi was listed as one of the Top 10 in Culture for 2011 by the New Yorker magazine.

He currently holds commissions from Lincoln Center Theater, Yale Rep, Berkeley Rep and the Royal Court, and is the recipient of the 2012 Fadiman Award from Center Theatre Group.

“Marie Antoinette” begins in prerevolutionary France, going inside the life of Queen of France Marie A ntoinette, who wishes to return to Austria in hopes of escaping the mirrors that society has cast upon her. Accustomed to ex t ravagant dresses and hair wigs, Marie refuses to believe that a revolution is taking place.

D i re c tor Rob er t R ic h mond’s v i s i o n o f “ M a r i e A nt o i n e t t e” embraces the glitz and glamor of its protagonist, but is also interested in the rift between public persona and reality. The play uses her immigrant stat us — Marie was an Austrian royal until she married into French royalty — to represent her core of personality. Throughout the play, Marie daydreams of Austria and whether or not she could return, and it seems that something essential was lost when she was sent to France as a young girl.

T he play feat u re s a r a nge of t a le nt , w it h M a r ie A nt oi net t e being played by Jennifer Moody Sanchez and Louis XVI played by Scott Wild. The fi rst performance began a sixteen-day showing of the play. Moody said that backstage was buzzing before the show.

“The atmosphere was a hyper but positive one,” Moody said. “There’s always so much energy in the air on an opening night. We try to focus on just telling the story well.”

T he c a s t put t he i r b e s t f o ot for ward as they gave a st unning performance fi lled with passion, wit and dancing in elaborate dresses, some of which Moody had trouble with. “ It w a s ver y d i f f ic u lt t o g e t i nto t he cost u me s af ter each scene. I have about four different ladies helping me,” said Moody.

“Robert Richmond, the director, really wanted to perfect this so it would be f lawless in time for the performance.”

And though the beginning of the film is glitzy and fun, this vision of Marie becomes complicated as the play goes on. Marie refuses to come to terms with the realities her changing world until the haunting ending, where t he realit y of her situation sharpens and blurs.

Gutsy and confident, Trustus’s “Marie A ntoinette” humanizes a historical caricature and paints in every shade of 18th century France, from monarchial excess to the terror of revolution. It was designed as a spectacle, and should be enjoyed as such.

Come see “Marie Antoinette from September 18 thorugh October 3, 2015.

There was no problem finding the outdoor k itchen with its delicious aromas and sea of people pushing you toward it.

The menu changed bet ween lunch and dinner, with a new options to choose from every day. Traditional Greek-st yle ch icken, sh r imp or la mb, keftedes (Greek-style meatballs) and pastichio (macaroni with meat sauce) were among the most popular menu items. The Greek bread and salad were a

staple with every meal.

St i l l, no st a l l was more popular than the pastry shop, tempting passersby with every imaginable Greek treat. After a small sample, many people went back to buy the pastries in bulk to enjoy in throughout the week, or for some, on the car ride home.

For anyone wanting to get their Christmas shopping list checked off early, there were i ndo or a nd out do or s ho p s of fer i ng ever y t h i ng f rom jewelry and clothes to groceries to artwork. As Stewart proudly advertises, “It is a true family event.”

The Greek Festival benefits t h e C o l u m b i a c o m m u n it y through donating a portion of

the profits to local charities. Last year, Stewart said the amount donated was $50,000 in addition to making a year’s payment of the church.

Ben Carson wrong on the Constitution, shows bigotry I’ve spent p le nt y o f t i m e talk ing about Fourth-year public Don a ld Tr u mp relations student during this primar y season.

W ho can blame me? As he’d likely say himself, he’s entertaining. As a result, I’ve given his other underqualified peer, Dr. Ben Carson, less column inches. Sunday morning, though, I watched Meet the Press.

At the end of his interview with Carson, Chuck Todd posed a question: “Should a president’s faith matter? Should your faith matter to voters?”

Carson responded, “Well I guess that depends on what that faith is. If it’s inconsistent with the values and principles of America, then of course it should matter.”

Carson went on to explain that he did not feel the Islamic faith is consistent with the Constitution. In his own words, “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation.”

Since Carson brought it up, let’s talk about the Constitution. Perhaps Carson didn’t pass ninth grade civics, as Mike Huckabee alluded to in the debate.

The First Amendment protects religious freedom in two ways: freedom of and from religion. It guarantees that an individual may practice his or her own religion, free from the interference of religious governance.

Millions of Americans, thanks to the free exercise clause, practice Islam today. The government may only restrict actions of American Muslims if they go outside of general applicable neutral laws — just like every other religion in this country, including Christianity.

In tandem with the free exercise clause, the establishment clause of the First A mendment exists to keep church and state separate. It is the establishment clause that has prevented a national church of the United States, or some other theocratic revolution.

If Carson had said that religion shouldn’t matter because church and state should be separated, you’d be reading a column about the GOP debate. But Carson’s interview made me want to dissect his made-for-TV image.

Like most fundamentalists, he can appeal to the notion that he’s a good-hearted gentleman. The longer he’s in front of the cameras, though, his bigotry starts to show.

Who is he to say that a Muslim American should not be president? It is Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution that defines the requirements for president, and religion is not mentioned.

So why exactly is Carson opposed to the idea of an Islamic president? Truthfully, I doubt that it is as much about dogmatic religious differences as it is a personal emotional reaction to Todd’s question.

Carson seems to still be suffering from the mass anti-Muslim paranoia that this nation developed after 9/11. It’s part of the same strain of emotional disease t hat made t his nat ion put JapaneseAmericans into interment camps during World War II and caused the Trail of Tears.

The simple fact is t hat some people fear those who are different from them. It’s an old, fundamental problem, and it has led to horrible bigotry and mistreatment of people in this country.

It isn’t fair, and it should stop.

Carson, try and tell the country that Ahmed Mohamed shouldn’t have the right to be president, a nd we’ll see how you r pr i nciples hold up.

Truthfully, though, if I were aspiring to become president of this melting pot of a nation, I’d be sure to read the Constitution first.

This resulted in an u n ner v i ngly close w i n a nd a n u ne x p e c ted lo s s b efore t he debacle in At hens. The dominance of teams past seems to be gone, for now. Welcome to the new normal.

To be fair to the team, this will almost assuredly get better in future seasons. The team is young and inexperienced, and time will partially rectify this.

But in the meantime, students will need to adjust to the new reality.

It’s perfectly reasonable to get upset by losses — it shows you care about the team. But excessively dwelling on them does no one any good, and may

even compound the trust and leadersh ip problems on t he team itself if enough of t he student body gets negative.

Instead, the fans will need to adjust to viewing victory as less than guaranteed. Losses will come, inevitably, but keeping a positive attitude is essential.

Focus on t he games we can still win, not the bitter losses, and if we keep losing? Keep celebrat i ng t he G amecock s anyway.

Reflections on America Siddharth Pathak First-year computer science student

I am from India. I came to this country about eight weeks back.

The lay of the land was almost as advertised. Beautiful homes, beautiful roads, beautiful people.

I had always looked at this world through a screen, and now here I was, living it. At fi rst glimpse, everything felt exactly the same as often projected in movies or television. The subtle underlying differences were not so visible initially. But as I spent a couple of weeks here, they became quite apparent.

The most obvious one is that I’m not an A merican. I differ f rom A mericans in cult ural, behav ioral, physical and sometimes psychological aspects.

My accent is different, my skin

color is distinguishable, and my mannerisms are conformed to the societ y I was brought up in back in India. The first and foremost struggle I have to tackle is to mold some aspects of my personality so that I can ease my transition from internationalism to Americanism.

Don’t get me w rong. The reason I intend to do so is not because I want to forget my own personal beliefs and values. They represent my individuality and I would give anything to retain them. The real reason of doing so lies in the fact that I don’t want to feel like an outsider.

Even now, when I am interacting with people here, I feel like I am at the peripher y, look ing inside, only observing and not contributing. The ultimate goal of most internationals f lying halfway across the world to this country is to feel accepted not only wit h, but despite, t heir individual traits.

This letter is in response to “School of Business Dean looks to bring back free papers to campus” which ran Monday, September 14.

While I recognize that supplying The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The State is a costly endeavor for Student Government, the university should not support their elimination from campus. Students need constant access to current events; political science students, above all, should understand this. Many of the introductory classes compel us to read a newspaper and respond to political phenomena. Now we are left to depend on news agglomeration sites or pray desperately that the ten free articles per month permitted by The New York Times will be adequate.

I read recently that the Darla Moore School of Business took it on itself to provide newspapers for its students after Student Government dropped the ball. Consider this letter my plea to the rest of the university to follow suit. Student Government flagitiously divested us of our newspapers during the summer seemingly so that we, the students they

There are some other subtle differences too. For instance, I have seen A mericans to be quite disciplined and polite, at least here in the South, anyway.

The default mood that people seem to be in is an essence of being content. Consequently, it feels good to talk to such people because then their positivit y travels unto you and makes you feel calm a nd rela xed about yourself. Also, people are very hard-working and the best thing about them is that they always st rive to become somet h ing more than what they are, and not just survive to stay the same.

I could go on and on about this, but I’ll close now by stating the f irst few things that I’ve learned from Americans in the short time that I’ve been here: be happy, be polite, work hard and most of all don’t just survive — thrive!

represent, could not respond in a timely manner. In his letter denouncing The Daily Gamecock’s hypocritical response to the cancellation, David Leggett observed, “the decision went largely unnoticed by students … for so long.” We suffer as a result of this malfeasance, its latent effects now evident to the student body.

Professor Joel Collins, a prominent attorney in Columbia, once told me that it is necessary for students to join the big conversation. We can talk about celebrity gossip or chitchat about the weather. We should be learning about foreign and domestic affairs, analyzing the stock market and debating philosophy.

We should be able to converse intelligently about literature and scientific discoveries and local news, if nothing else. We should be reading newspapers!

Instead, our hands are filled with illuminated phones, our minds locked out from the big conversation, in a state of taciturnity.

Do not let this continue.

Gamecocks excel in conference play

Abby Webb / THE DAILY GAMECOCK

Simone Wark became the 15th different Gamecock to score in this season with her first goal against the Tigers Saturday.

Kelli Caldwell @KELLI_CALDWELL5

T he Sout h Ca rol i na women’s soccer team advanced in conference play by beating Missouri in a tiring 1-0 game.

South Carolina recently played Kennesaw State at home and won 6-0. Four of the six goals came from sophomore Savan nah McCask ill and junior Sophie Groff. The two forwards for the Gamecocks had two goals each.

The only other conference game Sout h Ca rol i na ha s played wa s against Georgia in Athens winning 3-1 w it h one of t he goa ls f rom McCask ill. McCask ill is second in points and t ied for second in goals for the SEC. She leads the Gamecocks in goals with seven and

points with 17.

Entering the game, Missouri was 3-2-3 overall and recently beat its Sout heastern conference opener Auburn 2-1. One of the most outperforming players for the Tigers is sophomore Savannah Trujillo. The power midfielder has scored two out of the eight goals for Missouri this season.

The last time these two teams met were in last year’s SEC tournament, with South Carolina winning 2-1.

The Tigers lead t he series 3-1-0 against the Gamecocks.

Senior Caroline Kelly was 4-1-0 this season with six saves entering t he g a me. K el ly st a r ted i n t he Sunday game in goal and played the entire 90 minutes. She is credited with another win and had four saves for the game.

Volleyball sweeps Carolina Classic

In goal for Missouri was junior Kristen Rivers who played the entire game. R ivers had four saves but allowed one to let the Gamecocks take the victory.

With a lagging fi rst half drawing to an end, freshman Simone Wark made her fi rst goal in her collegiate career. In the 37th minute Wark managed to get past the defender and keeper for Missouri to give South Carolina t he lead for t he game.

Wark’s goal was unassisted and gave the Gamecocks another win against t he Tigers, st reng t hen i ng t heir conference record to 2-0.

This was the only goal scored in the first half and the Gamecocks we r e u n a n s we r e d o n t he f ie ld entering the locker room.

SEESOCCERPAGE9

This letter is in response to the articles “Play selection hurting Gamecocks in the red zone” and “Gamecocks best when aggressive” which ran Tuesday, September 15 and Wednesday, September 16.

I take slight issue with the back to back sports features Tuesday and Wednesday about the football team.

The Tuesday edition calls out the head ball coach to “run the ball,” especially in the red zone. To be sure, Brandon Wilds is a beast, and I’m all for him getting the ball more, but I think it is telling that, by your own statistic, we rushed the ball seven times for 31 yards inside the 20 and still failed to score a touchdown. If we had run it three times in a row and not scored, people would’ve complained that we should’ve gotten the ball to our biggest playmaker Pharoh Cooper on the edge — which we tried, but even the great “King Tutchdown” was stopped.

In Wednesday’s edition, you argue that aggression is key. I agree wholeheartedly that the defense needs to play aggressively and for a full 60 minutes. Then, however, you go after Spurrier’s play-calling again, this time calling for him to be more aggressive. You call two pass plays (to Deebo Samuel and Jerell Adams) the best plays of the year and you lament that he didn’t call more like them. I agree in some ways, but your statement here seems incongruous with your earlier plea to run it more.

Finally, don’t get me wrong: I love it when Spurrier goes for it on fourth down, but once again, if we had not converted, people would be all over him (as some were after a failed conversion against UNC) saying that he should’ve just gotten the easy three points. More often than playcalling, execution is the real issue.

Now let’s just go out and execute. Go Gamecocks!

- Written by Lochlan Angle, first year history and theatre student

FOOTBALLPAGE1 Injuries Wilds left the game after gaining just 24 rushing yards. He is listed as having a bruised rib and will be reevaluated this week. Center Alan Knott sprained his ankle late in the second quarter and did not return.

Defensive tackle Taylor Stallworth was also hurt in the loss, but the nature of his injury is unclear.

Few positives lost in the blowout Believe it or not, there were a couple positives for the Gamecocks, mostly involving the kicking game.

Shon Carson averaged 27 yards on six kick returns while Sean Kelly averaged 40.8 yards on fi ve punts, including two inside the 20. Kickoff coverage was good against arguably the top returner in the SEC. Fry went 2-2 with a career-long 51yard field goal.

Freshman quarterback Lorenzo Nunez played well, completing 4 out of 5 passes and adding 76 yards and his fi rst career touchdown on the ground.

Quote of the night “Defensive issues? Yeah we’ve got some offensive issues also right now ... our kicker and punter played well.” —Steve Spurrier

Avadh Rana / THE DAILY GAMECOCK

Although the Bulldogs outscored the Gamecocks by more than 30 points, they both only had one turnover each in the game.

South Carolina volleyball team returned home to host the Carolina Classic and had a clean sweep fi nishing 3-0 on Saturday.

The Gamecocks defeated East Carolina, Charleston Southern and Wofford.

Entering Friday’s game against East C a r ol i n a , t he G a me c o c k s wer e o n a four-match losing streak and needed a turnaround. Senior Sarah Blomgren helped give South Carolina an early 5-1 lead in the fi rst set. The Pirates kept the score in close range for the entire set, but the Gamecocks held onto their lead and took the first set 25-22.
