Marvel at your own inner hero Marvel creative director Bill Rosemann talks comics Belvin Olasov
@BELVINOLASOV
There’s something heartwarming about hearing a crowd of students chant “Kal-el” in unison. That’s Superman’s Kryptonian name, the first stop in Bill Rosemann’s walk through comics history. Rosemann , the creative director for Marvel Comics, came to USC Wednesday night, courtesy of Carolina Productions, to talk about being your own hero and drawing inspiration from your favorite superheroes. A s he said of comic book s: “simple images, powerful messages.” After the show, Rosemann sat down with SGTV and The Daily Gamecock to discuss the future of the Marvel cinematic universe, Marvel versus DC Comics, and what a black Captain America will mean for the comic industry.

Native traditions thriving McKissick Museum highlights contemporary Native American art Davis Klabo

Traditions never really die. A nd “ Tr ad it io n s , C h a n g e & C elebr at ion: Nat ive A r t i st s of the Southeast” at the McK issick Museum seeks to prove it. The collection of contemporary examples of traditional art forms focuses on the concept of carrying native cultural heritage into the 21st century. Through the 145 objects made b y 74 d i f f e r e nt c o nt e mp o r a r y artists, 28 Native American tribes are represented f rom across t he southeastern United States. The exhibit marks the second use of the Diverse Voices exhibition space, which was re-branded last year to preser ve the cultural heritage of the southeast through folk art and storytelling, according to Edward Puchner, curator of exhibitions for McKissick Museum. “Ever y yea r we foc u s on one particular community within the southeast region,” Puchner said. “This year we’re focusing on Native Americans.” Each of the exhibition’s pieces was created by contemporary artists work ing w it h eit her t radit ional m e d i a f o r m s o r t h e i r t r i b e ’s traditions of art-making, Puchner s a id.

T he idea for a contempora r y native exhibition came from artists involved in last year’s Diverse Voices collection, according to Puchner. “The Diverse Voices exhibition space started last year as a survey

The st udent senate allocated $8,882 to seven st udent organ izat ions in t wo bills Wednesday, using its new rolling allocation method for funding. The largest sum of funds to the Student Christian Fellowship. The allocated $4,500 will pay for two large scale concerts for students, accord i ng to St udent Body Treasurer Ryan Harman. “One of the things we liked about [the Student Christian Fellowship’s funding request] was that they gave us a quote for how much it cost, what they would need and who they were buying from,” Harman said. “We really prefer to give money when we k now t he people a nd products involved.” The second largest allocation went to t he Fly ing G amecock s Sk ydiving Club, which will use t he g ra nted $2,977 to at tend a national conference, where they’ve previously received recognition, a nd a publ ic sk yd iv i ng e vent , according to Ian Shannon, head of the senate fi nance committee. In sum, seven student organizations requested $12,661, t hough mu lt iple request s were denied for not meeting SG funding protocol. “ We ac t ua l ly went on a t r ip called the SEC exchange where the whole weekend was spent talking with other student governments about their programs,” Harman sa id. “ W hat we fou nd was t he USC has the strictest protocol and SENATE • 3

U.S. News & World Lexington man leads Harrell indicted for fund police to children’s bodies misuse, misconduct charges Report ranks USC No. 55 Timothy Ray Jones Jr., 32, led police investigators to a location in Alabama where he put the bodies of his five children, The State reported. Lexington County Sheriff Lewis McCarty said Wednesday that police believed Jones transported the bodies in garbage bags, crossing three states on his trip from Lexington County, South Carolina to Camden, Alabama. Police were tipped off to the crime when Jones was pulled over for a traffic stop in Mississippi and officers noticed blood and suspicious items in his car. Jones was previously been investigated by the Department of Social Services on Aug. 7, after the department received a report of neglect. A DSS investigation found that the report was unsupported and that the children, ages 1 to 8 years old, were in no danger, according to DSS official Jackie Swindler. Jones’ ex-wife was the fi rst to report the children missing on Sept. 3. The children were last seen Aug. 28, when Jones picked them up from school and daycare.
A grand jury indicted South Carolina Speaker of the House Bobby Harrell Wednesday for misuse of campaign funds, filing false reports and misconduct, The State reported. Harrell, a Republican leader in the House of Representatives, is accused of using more than $90,000 in campaign funding for personal use — specifically on a personal airplane — and making $70,286 in improper salary payments to an employee at his private business. He faces nine charges, six of which are Using Campaign Funds for Personal Use. Each charge is a misdemeanor, and the largest sentence that any one charge could carry is 10 years in prison. The indictment comes after a long battle between Harrell’s law yers and South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, though recently Wilson passed the case off to 1st Circuit Solicitor David Pascoe. Harrell maintained his innocence throughout the ordeal, saying he never “intentionally violated any law.” Despite his claims of innocence, Governor Nikki Haley said Harrell should resign from his position.

McKissick Museum highlights Native American culture through several pieces, including a handmade canoe. TRADITION • Continued from 2 “We hired him as a consultant early on and he brought us all sorts of examples,” Puchner said. “We used it as an opportunit y to make acquisitions to add a good number of objects by native makers to the McK issick collection to enrich the university’s collections in this area. At fi rst, we had about 75 objects, but he just kept bringing greater and greater examples.” One of the main features of the museum’s latest exhibition is an animated video created by a native artist. The video begins with a native creation story before moving into the present day. “[The video] is significant in that it’s taking traditional storytelling narratives that are closely held by native groups and he’s shifting them into
a contemporary context,” Puchner said. “It mixes strong beliefs that have been held for centuries with the current state of affairs of native tribes.” A not her piece hera lded by P uch ner is a c ont emp or a r y s t y le d jac k et w it h n at i ve decorations on it. “All of the different symbols [the artist] uses on it relate to his own family history and life in general, the sun is an indicator of life and light, the round shapes have to deal with pregnant earth, the dashes are life’s journey, the triangular forms that line the edges deal with the serpent, something that goes back to his family history,” Puchner said. “They’re carrying their traditions w it h t hem wherever t hey go, t hat’s a good metaphor for the things that you see here.” DG
structure for how student organizations spend money.” Student Government uses a line-item system to approve f unding requests, according to Har ma n . Each request has to come w it h p ap er work , re c eipt s a nd g u idel i ne s f or purchases before funding is approved. Every individual receipt is itemized by SG officials to ensure that organizations aren’t overpricing their purchases. “On the back end of funding, we have much more accountabilit y [than other schools],” Harman said. “In many cases, your receipts have gone through fi ve hands before anyone even talks about a check.” Money for student organizational funding comes f rom t he St udent Act iv it y Fees , a mandatory fee paid for by each student at the beginning of the semester. The fee goes into a general fund, from which organizations are granted funding requests fi rst by the fi nance committee and comptroller, then the student senate. As of now, there is no option to opt out of the fee at USC. The University of Tennessee has seen issues with these sort of fees. In April, Tennessee state legislators proposed a bill to heavily restrict what organizations could receive in funding from their flagship university after lawmakers and parents took issue with the university’s Sex Week, calling it inappropriate for students. The bill was discarded, but University of Tennessee system President Joe DiPietro did agree to allow students to opt out of the fees. As of now, Harman said, USC has no plans to pursue any optional fee system like that in Tennessee. “I’ve been in organizations since I got to school,” Harman said. “I’ve gotten a lot out of my student activit y fee, and a lot of the people I encounter really enjoy everything the community brings.”

Some of t hese speakers a n d p u b l i c e x h i b it i o n s a r e less publicized, perhaps only mentioned on an obscure website.

It represents the first public showing focused on the modern art of Southeastern Native Americans. Those of us who attended the art instillation came back with glow i ng rep or t s. E sp ec ia l ly impressive was just how interactive some of the event’s exhibits were, including a fully tactile look at a genuine burnt-wood Native American canoe. Surely, of the tens of thousands of st udents who attend USC, there is a solid chunk of us that
would take some time to come and see it. So, why aren’t there substantial crowds standing in lines outside of the McKissick on the Horseshoe? Market ing remains t he problem. I f a n org a n iz at ion doesn’t effectively use the means of com mu n icat ion at t hei r disposal, then they simply won’t be able to get the word out. When an exhibit like “Traditions” comes to our campus, marketing should be a top priorit y to reach the potentially interested unaware mass of students. That’s why the burden to spread the word falls on the attendees. If you’re interested in a certain subject, attracting more attention to it will help foster other, similar events in the future. Rustling up media coverage or spreading the word on social me d i a c a n g i v e e v e nt s l i k e “Traditions” the attendance and potent ial stay ing power t hat a well-crafted exhibit deserves.

Limit spending, limit speech Proposed amendment would allow for federal abuse of first amendment rights Rich people have a lot of money. R ich people spend a lot of money on things that they like or that they think will make them more money. Sometimes the things that rich people like or think will make them more money are politicians or political issues, and it logically follows that they spend large sums of money on those things. The same is generally true of companies and other interest groups, which have a vested interest in seeing political and legislative changes that they believe will benefit them come to fruition. Of course, the desire to see changes in government that will be personally beneficial is hardly limited to rich people, companies and interest groups. Every single one of us, even the most politically apathetic, has at least one thing about the government that they’d like to see cha nged, but t he difference lies in how much we can actually do to put those changes into effect. S u r e , a n y o ne c a n s t a r t a petition or write a letter to their cong re s sm a n, but few of u s can drop the $20 million spent by Fa n n ie M ae a nd Fredd ie Mac over the last 25 years on campaign contributions, let alone the $38 million by the American
Federation of Teachers, the $58 million by AT&T I nc or t he whopping $120 million by ActBlue (“the online clearinghouse for Democratic action,” according to their website) in the same time span. This discrepancy in financial power to influence politics has lead Sen. Tom Udall, D-New Mexico, to introduce a const it ut ional amendment to reform campaign finance. If passed, it would give Congress and the states the power to “regulate and set reasonable lim it s on the raising and spending of money by candidates and others to influence elect ions ... by proh ibit i ng s uch Ross entities from Abbott Third-year spending money to history student influence elections.” While I certainly agree that campaign fi nance and spending is out of control, I don’t believe an amendment this broad is the proper solution. The language of the amendment gives both the State and Federal governments the power to regulate any and all speech that could possibly “influence elections,” including everything from an international advertising campaign to a 7-yearolds’ report on t heir favorite politician. (They spent money on the paper it was written on and the pencil it was written with, after all.)
Correction:
W h i le t hose ex a mples a re a bit e x t reme , a ny piece of political writing or other form of advocacy by a single-issue organization, journalist or even blogger absolutely is included in this amendment (including this very article). This amendment, as written, would give government the power to censor just about any speech it wishes. Of course, government would never abu se it s aut hor it y to silence or, at the very least, make communication more difficult for those with opposing views. They would never, say, use t he I RS to t arget Tea Par t y organizations and then hide the evidence, going so far as destroying hard drives to keep the truth from being found? They wouldn’t arrest dozens of reporters without any charges, impeding the coverage of a police shooting of an unarmed A frican A merican yout h t hat results in some of the largest race riots since the 1960s, would they? Surely you don’t think that they’d force a man who revealed a secret — and questionably Constitutional at best — government program to monitor all of our private communication into exile? While all of those scenarios are purely theoretical, they’d certainly be strong counterarguments to sacrificing our rights to freedom of speech and press on the alter of campaign reform, if they were true.
An infographic in yesterday’s issue wrongly reported student ejections. The graph represented total ejections from season openers. The Daily Gamecock regrets the error.
Students, turn off your phones Addiction to “plastic brick” worth shaking off, if only for a little while “This is group therapy,” my history professor declares, holding up his phone so the whole lecture hall can see its blank, lifeless screen. He insists upon 50 minutes of this cell phone detox twice a week during his lectures. While this is a more than reasonable request during class time, as it is necessary to focus on the material being presented, I always wonder about the implications of this “therapy” outside of Gambrell 153. It was immediately outside Gambrell 153, waiting for this history lecture to begin, that I dropped my phone on those weird, shiny, concave bricks. My case dismantled and my phone lay face down on the floor. This may all sound very dramatic, but frankly, it was. This is what concerns me. My peers all perked up at the clatter when phone met floor. As I reached for it I saw concerned glances shoot my way. Everyone in that hall knew that all too familiar terror: did I crack it? Kathleen I grasped my phone, turned it to Schipano face me and sighed in relief at the Second-year sight of the mirror-like, uncracked print journalism surface staring back at me. A kind student by st a nder helped me gat her my case and another sympathetic classmate chirped, “Is it okay? That’s the scariest thing.” I smiled and thanked them for their help and concern, reassuring them that it was fine. I felt a bubble of affection for community in my chest and floated on it to my seat and as I sat back and allowed myself some idle thought before lecture began I realized: that was the stupidest thing I’ve been upset about in a long time, and as a Viewpoints writer, I am very easily upset. I sit in my seat, blissful bubble broken, wondering when I became so attached to an item. This brick in my pocket did not come over on the boat with my Irish ancestors. It didn’t come from a lover as a token as he went off to war. It came from Walmart. There are hundreds of thousands exactly like it. Yet when I dropped it, it was like dropping a baby. We have built a dependence, and, to a certain extent, an infrastructure around these fragile pieces of glass and metal, filled with ones and zeros. We check them like a reflex, our dopamine receptors overjoyed at the blinking notification light or the sound of the text tone. Our eyes grow wide and our voices trail off from what we were saying, focusing only on what this little fragile box demands of us. I think my history professor has a point: a little group therapy could probably do us all some good.

SGTV: How’d you get your start with Marvel? Bill Rosemann: So, I wanted to be a writer, and I was an English major, and y’know, it’s tough to break in. I was working in publishing and PR, and a spot came open to be a copywriter for the Marvel catalogue. I didn’t really know what that was, but I figured it out ... So, I began writing for Marvel and then got into marketing. I didn’t know what it was, and I figured it out. So, what I tell a lot of the college students is, when you graduate, I know you have your dream job, but you’re not going to get it right away. So, if a door opens slightly, kick it in — take your shot. The fi rst job you get might not be glamorous, might not be perfect, but you’ll get good experience, and you’ll show the people at the company why they should promote you. S GT V: Mar vel took a huge cha nce w it h creating a “Guardians of the Galaxy” film. Why make a movie about [this unknown franchise]? BR: I think we’re following in the steps of what Marvel has done from the beginning. Now, Iron Man is probably the most popular hero in the world. When Iron Man came out, no one knew who he was. I mean, that was a chance. Even Thor, who knew who Thor was? Comic readers knew who Thor was — the rest of the world didn’t. Now I see Thor on the side of buses. Even Captain America, people kind of knew about Captain America, but they didn’t really know his story. But we knew these characters were interesting, we knew they were inspirational and funny and flawed and human, and we knew if we just told their stories and followed what has been done in the comics, we knew the rest of the world would then come to know Iron Man. So “Guardians,” it was a risk, but it was the same thing as Iron Man. We said these characters are great, the world just doesn’t know it yet. So, we’re going to present them in this funny and fun and crazy movie, and now everyone knows who Rocket and Groot are. And now it seems “Of course, a raccoon and a tree!” but at the time it was a big risk. We knew that these characters were great. SGTV: Within the past seven years, you’ve taken a lot of risks. BR: Well, I think we’ve always pushed the envelope. We’ve always done controversial things ... When Black Panther came out, that was ver y controversial. That was t he f irst African-American hero from one of the major publishers. Now it seems “Yeah, of course, Black Pa nt her,” but back t hen, t hat wa s controversial. All along Marvel’s history, we’ve always done things that sometimes upset people and sometimes upset readers. What you don’t want is a bored reader. You want them really happy and excited, and maybe they’re angry, but they’re paying attention, and they want to see what happens next. So, throughout our history we’ve tried to do things that many people don’t agree with, but we believe they’re the right things to do. There should be black heroes, there should be Asian heroes, there should be female heroes. We’re doing a stor y where Sam Wilson, the Falcon, is going to take over the Captain A merica ident it y for Steve Rogers. Steve Rogers’ secret soldier serum — try saying that three times fast — is running out, and Cap knows that there must be a Captain America. So Sam says, “Cap, give me the shield. I’ll be Captain America.” So, think about it: young kids are going to pick up a Captain America comic and they’re going to see “Guess what? A black man can be Captain America.” And that’s a very positive message. We may get hate mail about it, but we think it’s the right thing to do, and we think it’s going to be a compelling story. SGTV: What can you tell us about “Avengers: Age of Ultron” and Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? BR: It’s going to be awesome. What’s really fun is Phase One was the origins, so you’re being introduced to the characters. Now, in Phase One they did all of that heavy lifting. Phase Two got a bit darker. So, “Thor: The Dark World,” “Capt a i n A mer ica: W i nter Soldier,” “Iron Man 3” ... once the characters were introduced, they could challenge them more in Phase Two. And now, Phase Three, where can they go? ... There’s going to be A nt-Man, another risk. People are going to say “really, A nt-Man?” A nd once it comes out, they’re going to say “Of course Ant-Man! It’s awesome this guy can shrink down and ride bugs. That should be a movie!” So, we’re going to keep tak ing chances, we’re going to keep doing more interesting stories with the characters you know, and we’re going to introduce more characters that you don’t know yet. SGTV: Who’s your favorite Marvel villain? BR: Well, Loki is great. He’s so compelling. He just wants to be loved — that’s it. He feels all his life he hasn’t been loved, he wants that acceptance and support from his family, and instead of earning it in a noble fashion, he’s striking back out of anger. But I think he’s very relatable and sympathetic, and he’s charismatic, but he’s still a villain. He’s doing the wrong thing.
Hannah Cleaveland / THE DAILY GAMECOCK
Rosemann said there are several similarities between Marvel and DC, though the characters differ greatly. The Daily Gamecock: What is, in your opinion, the biggest difference between Marvel and DC’s style? BR: Well, it’s funny, because creators jump back and forth — and even editors jump back and forth — so sometimes you’ll see similar things at both companies. But our DNA is very different. The DC characters were born in the ‘30s and ‘40s, where the characters were more about escapism and ... their secret identities weren’t as explored as others were, and they just cared about the heroes when they were in costume. And that’s what people wanted — they wanted escapism. When Marvel came along in the ‘60s, it was a different generation. They didn’t want their parents’ heroes, and by that, I mean the next generation was a little more wise, communication was opening up, they were seeing what was going on in the world, they wanted change. The Marvel heroes struck a nerve because they were human. They’re humans first and superheroes second. Stan [Lee] and Jack [Kirby] even decided to give them problems, and they weren’t perfect. They had feet of clay, they had physical problems, mental problems, and the audiences responded to that because they could see themselves in these heroes. It was the birth of the modern hero, who is not perfect. The hero who fails, but gets up and tries to do the right thing. So essentially, that’s it. As I said, creators have gone back and forth, and sometimes you’ll see DC heroes looking like and trying to act like Marvel heroes, but at their heart of hearts, they’re just different. People may say one is better than the other, but I think they’re both valid ways of creating a hero and I think both sides should just embrace that. I happen to think Marvel heroes are better. TDG: Comic books tend to be a niche market of enfranchised readers. Is that something that you’ve made peace with, or are you trying to change that? BR: We are never at peace with a small group of people experiencing our heroes. So, whether it’s through television, movies, comic books, we’re always trying to make our stories more accessible, more diverse, more relatable. Of course, as a business, we want to expand our audience, but as storytellers, you want to expand your audience. You want to tell stories that more people can relate to. So, we’re always thinking to ourselves, “How can we make this story accessible and interesting and relatable and connect with as wide an audience as possible, while still staying true to the Marvel hero?” TDG: We’ve recently had a Black-Hispanic Spider-Man , and there is going to be, in the
future, a female Thor. Is diversity something you’re pushing for at Marvel? BR: I think it’s something that Marvel has always thought was important, and when I was growing up, I always thought it was cool that the heroes looked different, came from different countries, had different religions, different genders, different ethnicities, different sexual orientations — you name it, the Marvel heroes were different. Sometimes it got us in trouble, sometimes it made people happy. But I think it’s the right thing to do. What’s important is not to force it and make it fake, and not to pander. We want it to be authentic and organic and real. So, it’s something that we pursue, but it’s something that we’ve always been pursuing, and we just have to do it in a smart, right way. But we will continue to do it. It’s the right thing to do. TDG: Who was your favorite non-superhero graphic novel? BR: “Maus” is great. A story of the Holocaust but told with mice and cats that I think is very powerful. The great thing about comics — and especially if they use a genre, science fiction or fantasy or superheroes or even using animals — they add a layer, a buffer layer, so you can talk about very serious things in a more comfortable way. So, yeah, “Maus” is pretty powerful. TDG: “Hawkeye” recently had a comic from the perspective of his dog, experimenting with the format. BR: Pizza dog! TDG: R ight! Is experimentation with the medium itself something we should expect more of from Marvel? BR: Yeah, I would just expect it from comic book creators in general. They’re art ists, they’re choosing to use comics books as their art form. They’re always going to try different things and get experimental. I think you always have to remember the basics — you know, you can’t break the rules before you understand the rules and master the rules. I think it’s endlessly fascinat ing t he t hings t hey’re doing w it h “Hawkeye.” They did another issue recently where Clint was not wearing his hearing aids, and so the whole issue was with sign language. It was a great way to show how comics can communicate without words. Normally, it’s a great balance of words and pictures, but if you can draw a page and understand it with no words, then you’ve done your job.

Romantic classic worth watching “To Have and Have Not”
1944
Director: Howard Hawks Starring: Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Walter Brennan Ever wondered how one of classic Hollywood’s most famous couples got together? Well, if you watch “To Have and Have Not,” Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall’s chemistry will jump straight out of the screen. “ To H ave a nd H ave Not ” is Bacall’s first ever film and one of the greatest fi lms she and Bogart made together. The 1944 film centers around Harr y Morgan (Bogart) and his good friend Eddie (Walter Brennan), who work together on a fishing boat in Martinique shortly af ter World War I I. Morgan is approached by a member of the Free French Resistance group, a political group during the Vichy reg ime of France, and asked if he ca n snea k t wo people f rom another Caribbean island back to Martinique. M o r g a n , w h o i s p a i nt e d t o be one of the good guys in this film, reluctantly agrees because he needs the money to get out of Mart inique. Morgan picks up a husband and wife, Paul and Hellene de Bursac, and who must stay in the cellar of the hotel that Morgan lives in, due to an injury that Paul sustains. Morgan eventually helps them get out of town and on the way manages to get himself, Eddie, and “Slim” (Bacall) the funds to
get them all out of Martinique for good. T he f i l m, wh i le maybe a bit confusing for those not familiar w it h t he h i s t or y, h it s a l l t he right notes throughout. Brennan prov ides comic relief, t he chem ist r y bet ween Bogart and Bacall supplies a great side story of romantic interest, and every scene is compelling. T he ac t i ng t h roughout “ To Have and Have Not” is uniformly excellent. Despite being Bacall’s fi rst fi lm, she seems calm, cool and collected in every scene and plays different angles wit h precision. Bren na n is a lso per fec t i n h is role as Eddie, and even t hough Eddie is supposed to be a drunk, Brennan doesn’t let that deter him from making smart acting choices. Bogart is, of course, Bogart and is perfectly comfortable in his role as good-guy-making-bad-decisionsa nd- sav i ng -t he - day. Bog a r t is notorious for his roles as gangsters and tough g uys, and Morgan is certainly a tough guy but appears to be good-nat ured toward t he beginning of the fi lm. The fi lm was originally a short story by Ernest Hemingway, and the film strays from the original plot quite a bit, but fans of t he or ig i n a l s t or y s hou ld s t i l l b e satisfied with the end result. To g e t m o r e b a c k g r o u n d i n f o r m at io n b e f o r e t he f i l m , Google the Vichy regime to learn a bit mor e V ic hy Fr a nc e a nd what territories were under what jurisdiction during the time period. The history is certainly interesting and provides the knowledge needed to comfortably follow the film’s logic. But the background research isn’t
always necessary — watching the fi lm can be an enjoyable learning experience by itself. For those new to the old movie scene or those who have always been curious as to why Bogart is listed as the number one greatest A mer ica n screen legend by American Film Institute, “To Have and Have Not” is a great start. Yes, it was released in 1944, and yes, it is in black and white, but those aren’t reasons a fi lm can’t be appreciated and watched for all of the great things it contains. Bogart is confident in his role and delivers a grade A performance,
Bacall has a wonderful debut and the script, acting and directing are all witty and well-delivered. When looking for a “throwback Thursday” fi lm, maybe go a little f u r t her pa st ot her g reat f i l m s like “The Break fast Club” and “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.” Step back into the ’40s and give black and white a chance. You might fi nd yourself forgetting about that lack of color. If nothing else, “To Have and Have Not” will have at least taught you how to whistle. DG

Gamecocks to battle UNC Wilmington
Olivia Barthel / THE DAILY GAMECOCK
Sophomore defender Ive Burnett says one key to beating UNC Wilmington is keeping things simple on defense with an emphasis on marking each attacking player.
Impressive start for men’s soccer team helps achieve 1st top-25 ranking of the year Connor Hazelton
@CONNORHAZELTON
The No. 17 Gamecock men’s soccer team looks to build upon its undefeated record to four games, as it takes on UNC Wilmington at home on Friday at 7 p.m.. South Carolina (3-0-0) moved into the top-25 of the NSCA A Coaches’ Poll after a few strong performances, including a come-from-behind win in double overtime against Clemson. Coming off a 2-0 victory against Mercer, the Gamecocks are well aware that the Seahawks (2-1-1) aren’t opponents to take lightly. “I think Wilmington is a very good team. They’re very disciplined, really organized and a very difficult team to break down,” head coach Mark Berson said. “So that’s the type of challenge I think we’re going to face. We scrimmaged them in the spring in a really good game. We think they have good talent.” With hopes of keeping their undefeated record in tact, sophomore defender Ive Burnett alluded to some of the factors that will result in South Carolina
getting a victory. “The keys to this weekend will be just playing our game, make sure we’re tracking our runners — like we’ve been the past couple games — and make sure we try to finish out early and not go into overtime,” Burnett said. Although the Gamecocks looked good in the first three matches of the season, Burnett also pointed to some areas to work on that the team can make throughout the course of the season. One of those areas includes keeping things under control on defense. “We just got to make it simple, that’s our game,” Burnett said. “We just have to keep it close, and keep it really tight, and play our game.” Just three games into the season, Berson said he’s very pleased not only with the way the team has played with one another, but also knows there’s always room for improvement. After a young team last year, he said many players came back this year and picked things up quickly with good attitudes. “They’ve worked really hard,” he said. “We’re getting our system in place and the guys know exactly what to do. As far as the things we need to work on, right now it’s eliminating mistakes, keeping possession, creating opportunities and finishing.”
Last season, the Gamecocks were trounced in their opening match of the Conference USA tournament against Tulsa, and with a tough conference schedule coming up in a few short weeks, they’ll need to continue playing as they have recently to clinch a spot in the NCAA Tournament. “It’s about just getting better every week,” Berson said. “We want to keep getting better and not fall back. We know that we’re going to have to play really well in conference, and we know that we have a number of very good non-conference teams on our schedule. The idea is to just get better each match. Each opponent is different. They provide a different set of problems, our guys study those problems and study those solutions, and we try to go out and put them into place.” Burnett said he’s ready to keep grinding, since he knows the rest of the season won’t be a cakewalk. “We just have to keep getting wins. It’s a grind and a battle,” he said. “We just have to keep playing simple and keep going forward, scoring goals — and it starts here at practice. What we do at practice turns over to what we do in the games.” DG
Women’s soccer hits the road again McCaskill leading in assists, still working toward first career goal Dalton Abel

With two games remaining on the nonconference schedule, the No. 16 South Carolina women’s soccer team is looking to fi ne-tune its form before beginning SEC games next weekend. The last chance to prepare for conference play comes this weekend, when the Gamecocks travel to Florida to take on South Florida and Florida Gulf Coast. After a five-game homestand, South Carolina (5-1) hits the road for the first time since its season opener. The Gamecocks play South Florida Friday at 7 p.m., and face Florida Gulf Coast Sunday at 2 p.m. S en ior defender Taylor L e ac h noted t he importance of getting off to a hot start in both contests to combat the disadvantage of not playing in front of the Stone Stadium faithful. “Going on the road, it’s always hard, not even with the crowd aspect, but just being away and not in front of our fans,” Leach said. “I think if we take the crowd out of it and play our game, we’ll be fine.” The road trip also provides a chance for individual players to continue to settle in and feel comfortable heading into the tougher part of their schedule. Despite leading the team in shots and shots on goal, freshman midfielder Savannah McCaskill has yet to register a goal in the team’s first six games. But if McCaskill can net one this weekend, she says she will feel more at ease moving ahead. “I’m really looking forward a lot, thinking about it,” McCaskill said. “But once I get the fi rst one I think it will ease the pressure, so hopefully, I can get the first one soon.” While peace of mind may be an incentive to find the back of the net this weekend before the team’s SEC opener, McCaskill has been constantly involved in the Gamecocks’ offensive attack. In addition to her team-leading scoring chances, the freshman is second in assists on the team with two, including one that set up the game-winning goal Sunday. Even though the Chapin, South Carolina, native said she would love to have scored by now, she also understands the process and progress that she has

Freshman midfielder Savannah McCaskill has eight shots on goal, the most of any Gamecock this season. made thus far. “I think game by game I’m getting better,” McCaskill said. “I’m getting used to it, fitting in with the team better as games go by.” I n it s last t wo games, Sout h Carolina has registered 15 shots on goal but only netted two of them. It seems like the Gamecocks are just a little luck and timing away from an offensive explosion. Head coach Shelley Smith expressed satisfaction with the evolution of her team’s offensive consistency throughout the early portion of the season. “We’ve made good steps forward,” Smith said. “Players are connecting a bit better. They’ve all done a good job and the effort’s always been there.” The team has been stifl ing on the defensive side of the ball, outside of the first half against Clemson last Friday. Smith expects the team that has played so well for five and a half games to show up this weekend.
On paper, South Carolina seems to match up well with this weekend’s opponents. South Florida (3-2) has been shut out twice and recorded multiple goals just once in their first five games. Florida Gulf Coast, on the other hand, has a little more offensive firepower. The Eagles (4-1) have netted six goals in their last two contests — both resulting in wins— but gave up as many chances as they achieved. If the Gamecocks can control possession and put pressure on the opposition’s back line, they figure to have the upper hand in both matches. Above all else, Smith wants to finish the weekend prepared for the SEC schedule that lies ahead. “It’s working together as a group that makes us the strongest,” Smith said. “You try to get to a point where once you’re going into SEC play, you’ve really got some things together like a well-oiled machine.” DG
