Column: 3 sleepers for the tournament Abe Danaher @TDGSPORTS

It’s finally March, and with South Carolina looking poised for its first tournament appearance since who even knows when, I hope you, the entire Gamecock Nation, are excited for some Madness. I hope everyone plans on skipping their Thursday and Friday classes to watch the opening round, with their excuse being that they were too tired. Tired, not due to excessive homework, but because they’d been pulling all-nighters for seven straight days, analyzing all 68 teams in the tournament and searching for any clues that could lead them to the perfect bracket, the Holy Grail of March.

Yet I realize that this is a football school and that most of you honestly just can’t wait until March is over and the spring football game you’ve been waiting months for is finally here. I get that.

But for the few of you that do care — I’m not going to say the intelligent ones, but the ones that have their head on straight and know which sports matter most — I have some tips for you. I have three teams that I know you are underrating, that I know everyone is underrating and that I am sure will go farther than what is expected of them based on seeding. Listen, and hopefully I’ll bring you one step closer to bracket success.

Kentucky Okay, maybe as Gamecock fans you aren’t underrating this team as much as everyone else in the country. And

5

yes, maybe as basketball fans you are questioning how in the world I am calling a Kentucky team underrated.

But right now, this Kentucky team has the best point guards in the nation in Tyler Ulis and one of the purest scorers in Jamal Murray. They possess the size and versatility up front to make any team reassess how they define the words “big,” “athletic” and “good.” With a hiccup against Vanderbilt in their last game and a boneheaded loss to Texas A&M that never should have happened, many have written off this Kentucky team as only pretty good this season. But you heard it here first, before the inevitable streak through the SEC Tournament and run to the Elite Eight, watch out for these Wildcats.

Texas After the first half of the season, this Texas team looked like they were destined to be even more mediocre than their football team this year (For any football fan who made it this far, one, I’m impressed. And two, I hope you kind of chuckled at that but didn’t laugh too hard because at least mediocre is better than any word you can use to describe the Gamecock team you cheered for).

But with a huge midseason win over North Carolina, Shaka Smart and his team have taken the college basketball world by storm. With three wins over top-six teams and a drubbing of Oklahoma just last week, this Longhorns team can go toe-totoe with anyone in the nation outside of Kansas. And if you can see past Monday night’s disaster of a game, you will see that Texas seems poised

Kendra Little | Weekender

to pull a big upset in the tournament en route to the Sweet 16.

West Virginia The Mountaineers are good. Like, really good. Just ask any point guard who went up against their defense how good it was. If he answers honestly, you’ll probably just get a few tears before you feel compelled to remind him that every other ball handler turned it over every time he touched it against this team. Probably all his teammates did, too. This West

Virginia team is second in the nation in both steals per game and turnovers forced, allowing them to stay in almost every game even if they are outskilled, outsized and outshot. And with their tenacity on the offensive boards (third in the nation in that), even if the shots aren’t going in, West Virginia can manufacture enough shots and putbacks to stay in any game. Don’t expect them to win pretty, but do expect them to win and watch this team win close game after close game on their journey to the Final Four.

Men’s basketball seniors to play final home game Claudia Chakamian @TDG_SPORTS

South Carolina will host Georgia on Thursday night for its final regular season home game of the year.

After falling to Mississippi State last week, the Gamecocks dropped to No. 5 in the SEC standings. Wins in their final two regular season games as well as a strong showing in the SEC Tournament could help South Carolina earn a higher seed in the NCAA Tournament. Barring any major changes, the Gamecocks should return

to the tournament for the first time since 2004, but their place in the bracket remains uncertain.

Seniors forwards Michael Carrera, Laimonas Chatkevicius and Mindaugas Kacinas will be playing their final game at Colonial Life Arena. Carrera is the leading scorer for South Carolina with 14.5 points per game. The forward also has the most rebounds and blocks on the team.

Kacinas has also had a strong senior campaign, averaging 9.8 points per game with 155 total rebounds on the year.

Chatkevicius has been

an aid to the Gamecocks as well, with 9.4 points per game. He’s recorded 130 rebounds and 27 blocks.

The Gamecocks lost to conference rival Georgia earlier in the season, with the Bulldogs claiming the 69-56 victory in their own territory. The Gamecocks have had most of their success at home this year, currently standing at 15-1 in Colonial Life, with their only loss coming against Kentucky.

Sealing a final home win Thursday will hopefully give the Gamecocks some momentum down their final stretch.

Parks looks forward after win

Adam Collins | Weekender

Emily Barber @EMILYRISA

After an intense campaign, Michael Parks was elected student body president for 2016-2017 term.

The runoff election concluded Wednesday afternoon, and the Elections Commission announced the results shortly thereafter. The small crowd of Parks’ campaign staff who were there to support him erupted in cheers and applause.

When asked how he was feeling minutes after hearing the results, Parks said he was relieved, grateful and exhausted. He is ready to get to work appointing his cabinet and learning the ropes of being student body president.

“It’s going to start with developing a team that can engage the entire campus first,” Parks said, mentioning his plan to revamp the House of

Delegates. “There’s a lot of talented students on this campus, and we want to get them involved with what we’re trying to do here with Student Government.”

In addition to his large campaign staff, Parks said that he owes his success to his father, his campaign manager Jake Lauritzen and his faith.

“I’d go to war for Jake every day of the week and twice on Sunday, and he’s the reason why we won,” Parks said. He also described how the challenges he faced required him to take a step back and alter his approach to his religion.

One of Parks’ major platform points is to involve students from every corner of campus. He hopes to leave behind programs that will benefit students in years to

come.

“I’m completely thrilled to have the opportunity to leave a lasting impact at this university, for students to come, for my children to come one day,” he said.

Trey Byars, Parks’ competition in the runoff, said that he was proud of the support his campaign gained from the initial election to the runoff. Much of this increase is owed to his campaign staff. “ Wo r d s c a n ’t explain how much I love every single person on my campaign team,” he said. “They put their heart and soul on their sleeves and worked so hard.”

Byars said that he is hopeful about the upcoming student body officers and looks forward to seeing what they will accomplish.

Five Points to host 34th

©2016 Waxing the City Worldwide, LLC. All rights reserved.

St. Patrick’s Day celebration

Olivia Reszczynski @TDG_ARTS

On Saturday, March 19 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., 40,000 people are expected to travel to a Five Points shrouded in green.

The Midlands’ largest annual street festival is not only one of the biggest St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in the Southeast, but also is a tradition that has been tied to Five Points for 34 years.

The festivities will begin with a Get to the Green 10K, 5K and Family Fun 1-Miler early Saturday morning.

At 10 a.m., there will be a free viewing of the Annual St. Pat’s Parade on Devine Street, and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. there will be a free family fun area in Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park, which will be named the Pot O’ Gold Playland for the day.

From noon until 7 p.m., an impressive musical lineup will take place across four different stages.

D r i v e - B y Tr u c k e r s , Shovels and Ropes, Old Dominion and The Front Bottoms will be headlining the day’s festival with 16 other acts performing throughout the day as

well. The 2016 winner of the Battle of the Bands will also be performing.

Not that a break from the abundance of live music available will be needed, but from 2 to 6 p.m., there will be a Silent Disco on Santee Avenue, a new trend in which people dance to music while listening on headphones instead of using a speaker system.

The Silent Disco will include music from Guy L vs. Dylan Deekay, Jade Frost vs.

Lucid and Bois Obscur vs. Killtrak.

In addition to the plentiful arts and crafts vendors, a food truck rodeo will be located on the corner of Santee Avenue and Harden Street to keep your stomach full all day.

Ti c k e t s a r e s o l d online pre-sale from Jan. 1 to March 18 for $15 and are $20 at the

gate.

As parking always seems to be an issue in Columbia, there will be a free shuttle transportation from the parking locations to the festival gates so that you don’t have to worry about missing out on the fun. After the festival, the Five Points Foundation will cover the first $10 on your trip home if you get a ride from Checker Yellow Cabs.

For those who can’t wait until the 19th, on March 4, Five Points will hold an official kickoff for the event from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in front of the Five Points fountain. This free event will include Irish step dancers, face painting, bag pipers and a DJ Irish and nonIrish guests alike will have an amazing time at one of Columbia’s biggest events of the year.

Spring into service

West Palm Beach, FL Emily Grace Mewborne @EMI_LOO

USC students will serve the homeless in West Palm Beach, Florida, this spring break while staying at the First United Methodist Church of Boca Raton. Fourth-year exercise science student Kaleigh Higgins will lead the group during their service trip.

Higgins said that during the trip, students will pack fresh produce for

the homeless, work at a soup kitchen, volunteer in a food pantry and build a camp for children in the area.

“Through this trip we will be able to view what we see as normal for us, as luxuries for others, and will be able to provide our time and hard work to help those who are less fortunate,” Higgins said.

Higgins served on the Habitat for Humanity alternative spring break trip last year and said the trip inspired

her to seek out more volunteer opportunities in order to gain more experience helping others.

“I hope to experience the same sense of fulfillment,” Higgins said.

“But more important to come back more open minded and devoted to service and helping those who are less fortunate.”

Higgins said she is looking forward to devoting her time to something she has not done before while the

group is in Florida. Being able to help in whatever way possible and feeling like she gave what she could to people that truly need it are what she is looking forward to most, she said.

“I’m also looking forward to building new relationships with my group members and service ally, and learning more about each other, our actions, and those in the community we are serving,” Higgins said.

Nashville, TN Tori Richman @TORIRICHMAN

For most students, spring break means rest, beach time or spending time with family. For third-year public health student Karlye Stackhouse and many other students, spring break means giving.

T h r o u g h t h e u n i v e r s i t y ’s alternative spring break program,

students can choose among a selection of locations for service opportunities. Stackhouse and her team will be spending their spring break in Nashville, Tennessee, volunteering at the Martha O’Bryan Center.

The O’Bryan Center is a non-profit organization that aims to “empower children, youth and adults in poverty to transform their lives through

work, education, employment and fellowship,” according to the organization’s mission statement.

Students will be at the center Monday through Thursday helping out with various projects including beautification, painting, gardening and many other tasks. With 588 families that graduated from the center’s program, Stackhouse said that she is most excited about

meeting and getting to know the families of the Martha O’Bryan Center.

Stackhouse first became involved with the Alternative Break program when she went to Kissimmee, Florida, to volunteer with the program Give Kids the World. Stackhouse found the trip to be a rewarding experience and has loved volunteering ever since.

“I expect this trip to build a stronger awareness in myself and the students that I am leading about the national issue of poverty and homelessness,” Tran said. “I believe that it will not only widen their perspectives, but it goes deeper and reveals to them who they are as a person.”

The SEC Compact, established

in 2013, is an agreement between five SEC schools who have pledged to send a group of students on a trip each year during their spring break. The schools send students to the same place or organization, which maximizes the work they can accomplish.

In Marion County, the students

from USC will be helping with yardwork, the repair of damaged buildings and the construction of new homes.

“Even through the seriousness of it all, I do expect everyone to have an exciting and unique experience of an Alternative Spring Break,” Tran said.

helping Sam’s House with the main boardwalk project and then Xavier’s fence project,” she said.

Slawinski hopes the trip helps to inspire a sense of social responsibility in her fellow volunteers.

“For this trip I am so eager to see my participants go from a member [or] volunteer of the community to an active citizen,” she said. “I hope to see them want to be more involved in Columbia or their hometown social issues.”

The trip is part of the Alternative Break program offered by the Leadership and Service Center, and Slawinski had to participate in training to head up one of the trips.

Preparation ranged from recruiting students to come on the trip to coordinating with Sam’s House and even making playlists for the van trip to Florida.

Heading into her third Alternative Break trip, Slawinski emphasized that they do more than just help the

chosen volunteer cause.

“In general Alternative Breaks are a great way to break away from your daily life and really give back to a community that needs your help,” she said. “These trips are not only for the organizations we serve but for you as well. They’re a fantastic way to meet new friends who share the same love for service, work toward finding the leader in you and having fun all at the same time.”

Marion, AL Emily Barber @EMILYRISA

As part of the SEC Compact, USC is sending a group of students to partner with Habitat for Humanity in Marion County, Alabama. Second-year biology student David Tran will be leading the service trip.

Merritt Island, FL Mary Ramsey @MCOLLEEN1996

Second-year public health student Michelle Slawinski will lead a group of 10 USC students along with a USC staff member on a volunteer trip to Merritt Island, Florida, over spring break. Slawinski and her peers will work with Sam’s House, a conservation site covering over 900 acres.

Trump’s lead increasingly sound Nick Vogt Fourth-year public relations student

Super Tuesday 2016 is behind us, and it seems as if Donald Trump is well on his way to the Republican nomination.

The unconventional nature of the Trump candidacy has driven this 2016 campaign to a threshold, and it may very well signal the end of

a true separation between entertainment and politics.

Trump’s strategy, fusing his celebrity image with strong political rhetoric akin to George Wallace, has won him at least Super Tuesday and may win him much more.

The road from here is much less certain, but Tuesday’s election did give us a few lessons. And if one thing is for sure, we are bound to have less Ben Carson from here on out.

Ted Cruz was able to score big victories in Texas, Alaska

and Oklahoma, but does he have the firepower to beat Trump outside of the fundamentalist Midwest?

Marco Rubio had a rough night, winning only Minnesota and losing by three points to Trump in Vi r g i n i a . C o n v e n t i o n a l wisdom had said that Marco Rubio is the best establishment candidate to take down Trump, but all of a sudden the Rubio campaign looks weak. He’s getting further and further behind in delegate counts and polling behind Trump in his home

state of Florida.

With less than two weeks until the Florida primary and a few state contests in between, the Rubio campaign is likely out of time to make a move. The Cruz campaign, on the other hand, might be out of moves.

With Texas and Oklahoma behind him, Ted Cruz faces an uphill battle to win over more moderate voters in the upcoming states. Losing to Trump across the Southeast has put a low ceiling on the Cruz campaign, and Trump’s closest competitor in the

polls might just be out of gas.

To read between the lines of my preceding paragraphs, Trump’s two sources of strongest resistance were dealt a heavy blow Tuesday night. An easy path has been paved for the most unconventional major party presidential nominee of the 21st century. From here on out, it is tough to say what will happen. What are the rules when Rome falls?

To q u o t e m y e d i t o r, Griffin Hobson, “The 2016 Dumpster Fire will burn on.”

Why I’m suing my university Ross Abbott Fourth-year business economics student The University of South Carolina is a school with more than 30,000 students, no two of which have exactly the same views on politics, economics, religion or any other subject of substantial value. This ideological diversity is one of the things that makes an education great. It allows students to experience new activities and discuss new ideas.

Participating in intellectual dialogue challenges individuals to sharpen their wit, either by abandoning indefensible positions or by buttressing superior ones.

America’s colleges and universities are meant to foster this type of scrutiny by serving as a “marketplace of ideas.”

Once upon a time, USC supported this concept; our motto translates to “learning humanizes character and does not permit it to be cruel,” a direct reference to the process I’ve just described. As recently as 2014, our university president, Harris Pastides, cited the motto in his open letter on freedom of expression. “At Carolina, we place a high value on creating an environment where all viewpoints and ideas are available to all of our learners and to the community at large,” Pastides wrote.

“Furthermore, I believe that civil disagreements

and discussions are healthy and vital to a meaningful academic learning experience.”

At colleges and universities across the country, these kinds of discussions have come under fire, threatening the freedom of speech of both students and faculty members. Students at the University of Missouri, Yale and others have called on their administrators to block campus speech that makes them uncomfortable.

Students and staff at George Washington University, Brandeis University and many more have already been suspended, expelled or fired for educational messages that were deemed “offensive” or “disruptive.”

In order to bring awareness to these events and others, the College Libertarians,

Young Americans for Liberty and I held a tabling event called “Free Speech on Campus: A Dialogue on the First Amendment.” After receiving approval from the university to do so, we displayed the exact same messages from the abovementioned cases in the free speech zone on Greene Street in order to prompt discussion. While we did not agree with many of the original messages, we still thought it was important to defend the rights of others to speak their minds in a peaceful manner, a sentiment that we explained to anyone and everyone who spoke with us at the table.

The day after the event, the university charged me with harassment and discrimination for suggesting, as President

Pastides once did, that nonviolent debate of even the most controversial subjects should be permitted in a collegiate setting. While the university did not pursue the charges, I asked during the investigation that the university change its policies that allow punishment of any Carolinians “ridiculing” or “insulting” another or are otherwise “insensitive, inhospitable, or incident (sic),” but it ignored that request. My repeated attempts to persuade the university that these restrictions are antithetical to the open learning environment that they claim to defend have been brushed aside, leaving me with no choice but to ask the courts to defend our free speech rights that USC has forgotten.

Bald Head Island, NC Darby Hallman @DARBYHALLMAN1

The only way onto the small island of Bald Head is by private boat or 20-minute ferry ride, and once you’re there you won’t be sorry you left your car behind.

Upon arrival, golf cart and bicycle rentals are available as the only modes of transportation, so you can start exploring the island right away. This truly gets visitors into the slow, carefree pace of life that locals live by. Packing into a golf cart and setting off without a destination in mind and discovering beaches, shops, walking trails and historical landmarks is great fun.

What separates Bald Head Island beaches from other tourist destinations is its absolute serenity.

Unlike places such

Darby Hallman | Weekender

as Myrtle Beach, where a quiet place is difficult to find, it is almost too easy to find a large expanse of beach for just you and your friends at Bald Head. For those who don’t like the salt water, the island also has luxurious pools with lounge chairs and a bar that serves drinks, seafood and burgers. Visitors can spend hours laying by the pool or throwing a football on the beach.

If visitors want to take a break from the beach or pool, they can explore the historical aspects of the island.

Parts of Bald Head Island served as forts in two American wars: Fort George was a British fort in the R e v o l u t i o n a r y Wa r and Fort Holmes a Confederate fort in the Civil War. Authentic uniforms and weapons

are kept on display in the many historical buildings on the island.

Probably the most iconic landmark of Bald Head Island is its lighthouse — properly named Old Baldy. Built in 1817, Old Baldy is the oldest standing lighthouse in North Carolina, surviving wars and countless hurricanes. Visitors can climb up to the top of the lighthouse and see the entire island. The view of the marshes, beaches and ocean from the top of Old Baldy is beautiful and a wonderful spot for pictures.

Bald Head Island also offers a wide range of group activities including fishing, sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding, biking and simply relaxing. For golfers, the island has a course overlooking the ocean

that was designed by George Cobb, designer of the par-3 course at the Augusta National Golf Club, which hosts The Masters. With all of the activities available on the island, visitors can do something new every day of their trip.

If you’re looking for seafood, visit Mojo’s.

Mojo’s has a variety of fresh seafood, such as (if you’re up for it) a steampot of crab and shrimp. Plus the restaurant overlooks the island’s marina where the combination of the food, the lights from the boats and the moonlight on the water makes for an excellent dinner. Another eating option is the Maritime Market Cafe. At the cafe, visitors can order a stack of pancakes or buy some fresh food and have a cookout.
