Market struggles for funds Without Student Government funding, Healthy Carolina initiative looks for money to operate venue for vendors

The Peanut Man loved his trip to campus for the Greene Street farmer’s market Tuesday, where he sold USC students peanuts and promoted his business located at the Sandhills Shopping Center.

Hundreds of students enjoyed visiting the market, too, including Lacey Humphries, a firstyear exercise science student.

“I’m craving tomatoes,” Humphries said. “We grow them at home, but now I don’t have them. I just passed by and saw [the market] today and got really excited.”

Since Student Government launched a farmer’s market in 2008, it has been generally considered a success. Thousands of students have purchased fresh fruit and vegetables between the gates of Greene Street in front of the Russell House. It has also been publicly supported by USC First Lady, Patricia Pastides.

Hurricane Earl strengthened to a Category 4 storm Tuesday, but poses little threat of making landfall on the South Carolina coast, according to the National Hurricane Center.

“The chances of Earl affecting South Carolina are pretty remote,” said National Hurricane Center forecaster Todd Kimberlain. “In North Carolina and up further north, the chances become greater.”

Forecasts have Earl making landfall anywhere from the Outer Banks of North Carolina to southeastern New England as early as Thursday night. The storm had maximum sustained winds of 135 mph late Tuesday night.

TAILGATING

Online @ www.dailygamecock.com

Thousands of diehard Carolina fans will take to the State Fairgrounds hours before kickoff, fi lling themselves with fried chicken,

pimento cheese, grilled delicacies and plenty of liquor, but if you’d like to tailgate with hundreds of USC students, there’s a free option for you.

The Gamecock Tailgate, located at the Biscuit House Parking Lot across from t he stadium on Bluf f Road, starts two and a half hours prior to kickoff and is free to all students with a Carolina Card. There will be free food and drinks, music and games.

SECURITY REDUCED IN RUSSELL HOUSE Guards to only patrol eateries after 11 p.m.

Derek Legette

THE DAILY GAMECOCK

TO DRINK OR NOT TO DRINK? Anyone who has been to a football game in the past knows that drinking can be a big part of the tailgating scene, but it’s important to be aware of the consequences of this game day activity.

Simply put, students must follow the state law that says they cannot drink alcohol under the age of 21, said Director of Judicial Affairs Alisa Cooney. In addition, fans must abide by the state’s open container laws and cannot bring alcohol into WilliamsBrice Stadium.

“A lot of students don’t realize it’s a violation just to smuggle alcohol into the stadium even if you are of age,” Cooney said.

W hile many underage st udents may think they are safe by pouring the alcoholic beverage of their choice into a red Solo cup, Cooney warned against this false sense of security. “ D o n’t over e s t i m at e t he m a g ic powers of a red solo cup,” she said.

“People k now what’s in there. Be GAME DAY ● 2

The Russell House security guards are gone, at least during the daytime.

The guards that patrolled the Russell House last year for food theft during the busy lunch and dinner hours won’t return this year, said Michael Scheffres, resident district manager for Carolina Dining. Now, guards will only work the late-night shift of 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. at Horseshoe Deli and Freshens, the two establishments inside the student union open late at night.

The guards were originally hired to be at the Russell House from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. from Monday to Thursday, Scheffres said. Carolina Dining then expanded the hours in fall 2009 after witnessing quite a bit of theft, he explained.

“We eliminated the day part when we felt the theft was under control in December,” he said.

There were security guards in the Russell House bookstore during the busy opening weeks, but bookstore officials declined to comment on their performance.

They are no longer there.

The large freshmen class has certainly made longer lines for the Russell House, but Scheffres said that the guards did have a good impact.

“Our hope is that with the increased enrollment we will not have any theft issues,” he said. “I am a positive person. If the problem does resurface, we will address it again.”

The Daily Gamecock ● WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2010 GAME DAY ● Continued from 1

RALEIGH, N.C. — A powerful Hurricane Earl threatened to sideswipe much of the East Coast just ahead of Labor Day, worrying countless vacationers who planned to spend the traditional last week of summer at the beach.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency warned people along the Eastern Seaboard to prepare for possible evacuations, and islanders in the Turks and Caicos hunkered down in their homes Tuesday as the Category 4 hurricane steamed across the Caribbean with winds of 135 mph.

North Carolina officials late Tuesday announced the first evacuation will be Ocracoke Island beginning at 5 a.m. Wednesday. Tourists will be ordered to leave the barrier island accessible only by ferries, but those who live there year-round have the option to stay.

Earl is expected to remain over the open ocean before turning north and running parallel to the East Coast, bringing high winds and heavy rain to North Carolina’s Outer Banks by late Thursday or early Friday.

Obama called America’s troops the “steel in our ship of state.” Many of those men and women of steel said they think the president is plotting the right course as he declares an end to combat in Iraq.

“I’m just glad we’re in a total transition now,” Steve Baskis said.

Baskis, 24, of Glen Ellyn, Ill., lost his sight and use of his arms in a May 2008 explosion in Baghdad. Listening to the president’s speech in a living room filled with beach wedding pictures he can no longer see, the former Army specialist appreciated the president’s words of support and praise.

“I think that for my buddy who died and all the ones who lost their lives, I think it would mean a lot to them,” he said as his bulldog Sophie trotted around. “We can see all the work that we did. ... Ten, 20, 30 years from now, we’ll know what this whole war, Iraq and Afghanistan, what we risked.”

SAN JOSE MINE, Chile — The effort to save 33 men trapped deep in a Chilean mine is an unprecedented challenge, mining safety experts said Tuesday. It means months of drilling, then a harrowing three-hour trip in a cage up a narrow hole carved through solid rock.

If all of that is successful, the freed men will emerge from the earth and “feel born again,” said an American miner who was part of a group dramatically rescued in 2002 with similar techniques. But that rescue pulled men from a spot only one-tenth as deep.

“They’re facing the most unusual rescue that has ever been dealt with,” said Dave Feickert, director of KiaOra, a mine safety consulting firm in New Zealand that has worked to improve China’s dangerous mines. “Every one of these rescues presents challenging issues. But this one is unique.”

Chilean officials said the miners will have to remove upward of 3,000 tons of rock as it falls into the area where they are trapped.

aware you’re still just as likely to be caught with a Solo cup as with a bottle of beer.”

Disguising your drink won’t prevent you from getting caught, and as Cooney joked, Solo cups are “not a cloak of invisibility.”

Also, as part of the University policy, people who are clearly intoxicated can also be escorted from the stadium.

If caught drinking underage, s t u d e nt s c a n f a c e c r i m i n a l charges, the University policy or both. According to Cooney, the punishment is entirely up to the discretion of the law enforcement officer who is dealing with the student. Under the University’s st udent conduct process, violators can get a $50 fi ne, must pass t he Carolina Awareness of A lcohol Policies and Safet y course and may also be required to perform community service hours.

Cooney said that law enforcement of f icers may b e more l i kely to m i n i m i z e t he consequences if st udent s a re co op er at ive r at her t h a n belligerent.

“The biggest issue on gamedays is safety,” Cooney said.

EARL ● Continued from 1 and Caicos Islands Tuesday as well. The projected track of Earl turns the storm further north and eventually northwest as it flirts with the East Coast.

Kimberlain said the bulk of the forecasting models have Earl brushing very close to the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

“There’s been a tendency in the models to push Earl a little further west, which brings more of the coastline into play,” Kimberlain said. “Residents from the Carolinas to New England need to remain very vigilant.”

For g uys, slacks and a garnet or black polo will do the trick.

Don’t be surprised to see bow ties and seersucker garments in the crowds, either.

Important note: wear comfor t able shoes. W het her you d r ive, wa l k or t a ke t he shutt le to t he game, you will still be on your feet for several hours, and you don’t want to be uncomfortable while tailgating or wh ile cheer i ng on t he Gamecocks.

WHAT TO EAT We don’t use the term “game day” without reason — Carolina football games really ca n be all-day event s. W hen people show up hours before kickoff to tailgate, food preparations are a must.

If you have a tailgating spot, you will probably want to come prepared with snacks. Grilling o u t i s a f a v o r it e g a m e d a y custom, but for safet y reasons only gas grills are permitted in university lots.

Kimberlain said the good news is Earl will weaken as it enters cooler northern waters and the western and weaker edge of the storm is more likely to affect the coast.

Hurricane watches, which indicate that hurricane conditions are possible within the next 48 hours, were expected to be issued soon for the North Carolina coast, according to Kimberlain.

However, market, said Holly Harring, coordinator of in a meeting this spring, SG executives told Healthy Carolina officials they wouldn’t the event.

“We hope it continues in the future,” she renew $3,200 in funding; they plan to spend the money on new initiatives this year, which said. “But finances are always a concern.”

So why is an on-campus farmer’s market they haven’t selected. They’re looking to meet so expensive? Just visit the University’s with student organization leaders this fall and solicitation policy. For every vendor at the develop new projects.

“After many discussions, the executive market, there’s a $25 solicitation fee. Add on administrative costs and a farmer’s market can officers realized that we could no longer spend money on farmer’s markets,” said Student cost upwards of $500.

The money is paid to the Russell House Body Vice President Taylor Cain. “In order Student Union, which provides the Greene for Student Government to continue to create Street space and tables for the monthly event. and implement new ideas and initiatives, we “It’s a campus initiative that’s very positive, couldn’t afford to fund farmer’s markets any and I’d rather focus on why we’re being longer.”

Cain said the organization supports the charged so much than blaming Student Government,” Harring said. “We’ve asked farmer’s market and has offered advertising several times to get that price lowered, but resources and manpower for the monthly event. Healthy Carolina officials said they we’ve been unsuccessful.”

Harring said Healthy Carolina could don’t hold harsh feelings toward SG for taking charge the vendors $25 each. However, that’s the money away.

“They have the changeover every year, and a much higher rate than they pay elsewhere, she said, and it would discourage many from different cabinets have different priorities over coming to campus. So, Healthy Carolina what they want to fund,” Harring said. “The covers $15 of the fee while the individual Student Government response to the needs of students and their wants changes, and our vendor chips in $10.

SG pulls funding only for unplanned efforts Student Government has recently pulled its funding from the Greene Street farmer’s market.

They must have realized it was a bad idea to sell fruit within throwing distance of their meetings.

The farmer’s market is a great way to promote healthy eating among students and health-conscious USC seems to know this. Healthy Carolina helps fund it and our first lady supports it. The only group that doesn’t believe the farmer’s market is worth the money is the one that “This is a classic planted its seed and used to fund it completely — example of a new Student Government.

Student Body administration President Ebbie Yazdani said that “SG can’t fund initiatives forever.” putting the old dog new A l l r i g ht , s o y o u’r e nd i ng a t r ied a nd down. ” etrue initiative to start somet hing new. That must mean this new idea is really good. Come on SG, tell us what it is!

Too bad SG has nothing new planned. In fact, SG sent out an e-mail asking for proposals. Here’s a proposal: Don’t change plans just for the sake of changing them.

This is a classic example of a new administration putting the old dog down to raise a new pet project.

The farmer’s market is a good project, but it isn’t their project, and they want to make a name for themselves. With this move, they certainly are making a name for themselves, but one we can’t print in this paper.

Even if you aren’t a football fan, Thursday’s game is the place to be.

Put t ing on your school colors and cheering on your team is amazing. Just make sure you wear some comfortable shoes because you will be standing up cheering. Tailgating is also amazing as well as hanging out with your friends and eating great food. If you’re at home, turn on the TV and get some food and friends.

D’Nisha Hand First-year undeclared student I hate to be Danny Downer here, but do not, for any reason, miss class.

I do not care if you’re so drunk you’re three-fourths Bud Light, I do not care if you have to go back and forth between the tailgate site and your classes like a shuttlecock — there is no excuse for not going to class. You can only miss three or four of them before your grade starts dropping like an anvil. Besides, the gates doesn’t open until 6:30 p.m. anyway, so you can wait a few hours to get your burgers. Imbibe your ill-gotten beer and cheer on the Gamecocks.

Austin Jackson Third-year political science student I never really u nderstood t he whole team spirit thing except for the anthropological aspect of it which A) allows people to feel part of a bigger whole and B) is a form of escapism (getting super drunk, hanging out, not really thinking about reality). Now don’t get me wrong, I’m all about having a good time, but standing on a sideline and watching a sport has never really been my gig. However, I have decided to take advantage of all those who will be out supporting the economy on that day and work, where I will inevitably make twice or more the amount I would regularly.

It is always fun to chug beers with your friends, but I don’t necessarily need a football game as an excuse to do such.

Lastly, I disagree with Austin because I think you can skip any class you so desire as long as you are willing to pay the consequences — after all, you’re the one

Infrastructure fixes could prevent harm

paying thousands for those suckers.

Emily Shipp Fourth-year English student If you go to USC, you’ve got to go to at least some of the games. Football season is the highlight for the majority of students here at USC. So, whether you’re a fan or not, go to the games. You don’t have to get drunk, cheer the entire time for the team or even participate in the mosh pit during sandstorm — even though you should because it’s awesome.

But at least be there and support your school. If you do happen to get drunk and go a little out of control, hopefully you can make it to your class in the morning.

Marilynn Joyner Third-year political science and dance student If you’re like me and didn’t get a ticket in the lottery, which I suspect is quite a few of you (freshmen, especially) this time around, there’s no reason to fret excessively about it. Yeah, you’re missing the first game and it’s a bummer, but it’s nearly statistically impossible for you to not get a ticket to another game soon.

So buy some pizza, throw your own party and look at it this way: You get to avoid the stifling heat of a packed crowd, you may not be deaf for the next week and you can avoid getting puked on by obnoxious drunkards. Unless you’re one of them, that is.

Alice Chang First-year international business student Even if you did not get a ticket for the game, there is still hope. Throw your own football bash, have a good time with new friends you’ve made and remember that getting drunk does not always mean you’ll have a good time. So don’t worry if you don’t have a ticket. Just find a way to have fun with other people who didn’t get a ticket. It’s not the end of the world.

Steven Kramer First-year business student

City’s arts would suffer under ‘arts czar’ Unions, organizations would serve community better than central office Wrapping up the first of many sultry, South Carolina months, I find myself slipping into a mindset I fi rst felt last year: My entire plane of existence stretches from the Humanities to Swearingen buildings, with the occasional slip into that strange half-dimension known as Five Points. No, I tell myself, USC does not constitute my whole world (yet). There is this often ignored place beyond Capstone named Columbia, a city that we all call our temporary home — for better or worse.

Columbia has big plans in its future, plans that at most demand our input and at least deserve our attention. Mayor Steve Benjamin has begun working through a report compiled by citizen committees, with each addressing a different issue of the city’s development.

Although each issue is important, the one that really concerns students is arts and culture.

Perhaps some of you aren’t much of art fans, but who can turn down the Nickelodeon’s multiple festivals or even the bands that fi ll New Brookland Tavern every year? Every fun thing that makes Columbia a college kid’s town — from the art galleries to the bands

— roots itself in how the city promotes and provides for its cultural community.

So what are the committees’ big plans? The truly, and you could almost say only, solid suggestion is to fi nish ongoing projects now, like the Nick’s expansion. Still others call for better public transportation, which is the job of another office, a nd d iversif y i ng aud iences, w h ic h do e s n’t r e a l l y me a n anything.

T he rea l elepha nt i n t he proposal, t hough, is t he suggestion to create a central Michael office for allocating funds and Lambert Second-year maintaining programs, with its comparative accompanying “arts director” — literature an “arts czar,” to borrow a term student from the Free Times.

It seems that our federal government’s ph i lo sophy h a s st a r ted lea k i ng out of Washington. Yes, let the city swoop in and save its arts community, foundering in the economic downturn. Every artist or event planner secretly wishes it could have one more office to painstakingly deal with. This idea rises out of the more appropriate idea of hurrying to fi nish existing projects. With business stagnating, these projects need a

push to reach completion, or they’ll never see it. However, this push shouldn’t turn into outand-out management. Just because you ask a guy to help fi x your car doesn’t mean you want him replacing your shingles.

City management will not create a stronger arts community. The arts survive and retain their own identity and flavor through their ability to support themselves. What can the city government do that business organizations or arts unions ultimately cannot? The lack of centrality should be placed squarely on the art unions’ shoulders, for failing to see that the whole is far more profitable than the sum of its parts.

Ultimately, Columbia’s arts community would sacrif ice more than it would gain from supporting this kind of office. It would be taking significant decision making and spending power out of its own hands. Perhaps that does not seem like such a threat now, but fast forward two years.

Who will be deciding which fi lms show at the Nick, which bands come to Columbia’s festivals and which exhibitions open? It doesn’t take an “arts czar” to make these decisions.

It takes a few city accountants, funneling the money where they see fit.

You’re sitting in the Colonial Life Arena, waiting for your favorite band to take the stage. The crowd roars and your heart races with anticipation as lights fill the stage. For hours, you connect with the musicians, forgetting all tests, homework and stresses of being in college. If only things could stay this way.

Dalia Garcia, former Miss South Carolina and now half of musical duo Garcia and Scott, shared this rush when she, too, was a student at USC. “I remember I saw a show in the arena when I was in college and I jumped on the platform, saying to myself, ‘This is what I want to do; I want to come back some day and start playing here in South Carolina,’” recalls Garcia.

Along with her husband, Gary Scott, Garcia is returning to Columbia, bringing with them a fresh new genre that sets them apart from much of the mainstream music of today.

Scott describes it as a blend of rock, blues and jazz with a little Latin.

“People assume things when they see an acoustic guitar, but we prove them wrong,” Scott said. “Acoustic bands these days are taking on a lot of energy, and we are right there with them.”

The couple combines extremely diverse styles to create their own unique sound.

Scott, a native of Nashville, Tenn., and a drummer-turned-guitar-player, sets the rock and blues foundation for the music. Attracting those who love the good ole classic styles of the South while simultaneously entertaining fans of a more contemporary twist, he compares his powerful, percussive strumming technique to that of artist Dave Matthews.

“I’m always dancing, moving and playing percussion and Gary has unbelievable rhythm,” Garcia said.

Contributing a more international flavor, Garcia provides the Latin spice that engages audiences and keeps them on their feet. A graduate of USC as well as the first Hispanic Miss South Carolina, Garcia shines with true star quality as she experiments with new vocal sounds.

Although they have a widespread fan base and the potential to be commercially successful stars, Garcia and Scott enjoy the advantages of being independent artists.

They emphasize that, “We still have total control over our lyrics and music. What we do is real, and we know especially these days college students want something real, not phonies and people shaped by a record label.”

The couple’s desire to carry out their music in their own way is highlighted through their performances and the enjoyment they feel when connecting with spectators. They hope to ignite audiences with a musical thrill and receive as much energy as they project into the crowd.

“We create a sense of interaction and togetherness. For those two to three hours, forget your problems and we transfer you to a place of feeling good. Come see us and experience hours of unadulterated laughter, joy, and enjoyment,” Garcia said.

The duo is especially excited to share their music in Columbia and with USC students.

“No matter where I’ve traveled or where I go, I am a South Carolina girl,” Garcia said. “I’ll be in Europe or somewhere and still be saying,‘Hey, don’t mess with the Gamecocks!’”

The couple will play a few gigs around the Columbia area including Sept. 2 on campus and Sept. 3 at The Thirsty Fellow.

Overlooked novels talk marriage, R E V O religion, adolescence C E TH Releases overshadowed by authors’ more successful works still worth the read

R E D UN

Katie Crocker

THE DAILY GAMECOCK

This week’s “Under the Cover” will take a journey through the past and review a few older books often overlooked because they were before their time or they were overshadowed by more commercially successful works.

The first book we’ll look at is “The Robber Bride” by Margaret Atwood , a story of a woman who betrayed three of her friends by stealing their boyfriends one by one. The main confl ict lies in her faked death and subsequent confrontation with these friends after her funeral. The story focuses on the sacred friendship between women, the battle of the sexes and the intangible ideal of justice. It can be dark and suspenseful, but an interesting read throughout. Atwood’s novels at large make you quest ion your place in t he world while hiding under a blanket. She is better known for her earlier book, “The Handmaid’s Tale.”

This next book has been overlooked probably because it isn’t the most pleasing to indulge in. “Beware of God” by Shalom Auslander is a mixed set of short stories foc usi ng on hu ma n it y ’s place i n t he universe. The characters are all cynics at best, having a heartfelt opinion on everything. God is often personified with human qualities like the ability to get a massive headache not even half a bottle of Advil can cure. However controversial the novel may be, there’s no topic more fascinating than man’s role in the universe.

Auslander has made t he list simply because his book gives a radical view of religion. Religion is often the basis for many people to understand and cope w it h what life brings upon t hem. Of course, try and apply this same theory to petty family matters, and it becomes a lot harder to understand. At fi rst glance of the childish cover of “The Ticking” by Renee

French , one would bel ieve it m ight ju st b e a h a r m le s s stor y. I nstead, it is t he jou r ne y of o ne ver y defor med boy ’s jou r ne y to m a n hood told in the wonderfully r e p u l s i ve p ic t u r e s of a g r ap h ic no v e l . T he story and plot could rival a Salvador Dali painting and displays a transcendent understanding of t he complex relat ionship b et ween f at her a nd son , self-worth versus self image, societ y versus individualit y and a series of truly bizarre,, but sickly sweet pictures. Reneee French has a series of ot her er well-known graphic novels such ch as “Micrographia“ and “Marbles les in My Underpants.”

The last book on this list is “Security”

by Stephen Amidon, an intriguing guing and extremely well-written novel. el. It tells t he stor y of a securit y breach ach in a Massachusetts college town inside a mansion. Twists arise when a local girl raises a sexual assault claim m that ends up involving half the town.

The work revels in the satiree and the human sacrifice of everything hing for the sake of security. W hile it’s just as heav y as the other her novels on the list, the novel is a testament to an importantt a sp ec t of w r it i ng f ic t ion: stringing details together to make the story. Amidon has written seven other novels including his most recent, “Human Capital,” which delvess into the human psyche.

Gamecocks take on ASU USC looks to regroup after .500 mark in tournament play Ryan Velasquez

THE DAILY GAMECOCK

With the first four games of the season under its belt, the South Carolina women’s soccer team is making it clear that it has high hopes for 2010.

Coming off a 1-1 finish in the Gamecock Courtyard Cup, the No. 19 Gamecocks (31) will look to continue to use home-field to their advantage when they take on Arizona State (2-0) Sunday afternoon.

Despite suffering a loss to Louisville in game one of the tournament, Carolina seized the opportunity to give many of its reserves and freshmen playing time.

“We rotated a lot of players this weekend and they all went in there and did their job,” USC coach Shelley Smith said. “That’s what we’re asking of the team. Every game we’re improving.”

M idf ielder Danielle Au and defender Gabrielle Gilbert were two such players who continued to make the most of their minutes on the field. The freshmen started in both matches this weekend, and Au came up just short of scoring her first collegiate goal with a shot off the crossbar in Sunday’s win over Ohio.

“Ever y game we’re tr ying to get more m inutes for new players, get t ing t hem experience as we go. Danielle and Gabby are freshmen who have stepped into starting roles and filled in very well for us,” Smith said. “I’m excited about them and all the players we’re able to rotate in and get more minutes.”

A long with gaining experience for its newcomers, Carolina hopes to see the return of junior defender Ellen Fahey, who missed the tournament after suffering an injury against Northeastern.

“She’s working her way back in this week,” Smith said. “They wanted to rest her last week so we’re planning on having her back in for Sunday.”

The Gamecocks will also be looking for another solid performance from junior Kira Campbell, who has provided a veteran presence to a young group of midfielders.

“Kira Campbell is someone who’s really stepped up this year and helped at midfield,” Smith said. “We try not to take her out of the game because she’s been really valuable as a returning player in our midfield.”

One of three Gamecocks named to the Gamecock Courtyard Cup All-Tournament Team, the Lexington native played 85 minutes against Louisville and 72 minutes against Ohio. Campbell has also been called upon to take many of the team’s free kicks.

“She being a returning player and the fact that Ellen was injured last weekend, we had to move Christine Watts to the back and had to rotate some people around,” Smith said. “Kira was really the steadiest in there and kept it together.”

Another steady performance will likely prove her importance against the Sun Devils, who fell in penalty kicks in the first round of the 2009 NCAA Tournament.

“That’s going to be our biggest challenge so far this season,” Smith said. “I think they’re a very good team, very athletic.”

To extend its w inning st reak to t wo, Carolina will be looking to learn from its performances so far this season and continue to

“We need to be just a little more organized in our defending. We’ve obviously shut down our opponents quite well, but there have been times that I think we can improve,” Smith said.

“We also need to be more dangerous in our attack.”

Kickoff is Sunday at 1 p.m. at Stone Stadium.

USC faces rival Tigers at Winthrop tourney Volleyball hopes to grab first win against Clemson in Rock Hill Corbin Ensminger

THE DAILY GAMECOCK

The South Carolina volleyball team will travel to Rock Hill this weekend to compete in the Carolina Challenge , an annual tou r na ment t hat ha s been dominated by the Gamecocks.

This will be t he t hird i nst a l l ment of t he “st ate championship” and USC has not lost a game in its previous two appearances in the Challenge.

However, the Gamecocks will have a bigger task on their hands this year, as they travel with a young team only in its second weekend.

The G amecock s w ill be looking to tally a few marks in the win category after losing all three matches of the opening tournament hosted by Illinois.

However, it is a long season, and at this point, coach Ben Somera is more concerned with teaching his system to the new players than he is with wins and losses.

Chris Keohane / THE DAILY GAMECOCK

USC senior Hannah Lawing posted a career-high 31 digs against BYI. “We prefer to win,” Somera said.

“But there are some things from a system foundation standpoint that are just as important at this point in the season for us being a younger team.”

Somera said the early, season games have to somet imes be treated as practice games. He doesn’t want to dwell on t he defeat, but would rather watch the tape and explain what went wrong.

He said the team is learning more with every game it plays.

USC soccer begins year against CU

“I was really happy with the steps they took in each match to get to a better spot,” Somera said.

“Right now, I think it’s best for us to stay process-oriented and keep working on goals that improve the way we compete.”

One bright spot was senior Hannah Lawing’s move to the libero position, which proved to be very successful. Lawing was named the SEC Defensive Player of the Week for her career-best 31 digs against BYU. She had the

fifth-highest digs in a match in USC history.

“Lawing had a great defensive weekend. We expect to play good defense,” Somera said. “I think part of the reason why our floor defense did so well was that our block did such a good job of getting the balls to where our defenders are. W hen Hannah [Lawing] has success, the block can take some pride in that as well.”

Somera said the Gamecocks st r uggled w it h get t i ng i nto rhythm in their first match last weekend, but after reviewing tape, they were able to play a better style.

Things will heat up quickly as the first match is against the Clemson Tigers . Last season, South Carolina beat Clemson 3-2 in Columbia. Clemson finished with a 23-10 record, losing to Oregon in the fi rst round of the NCAA tournament.

The men’s soccer team w i l l op e n t he reg u l a r season in style Friday night, as the Gamecocks take on archrival Clemson at Stone Stadium.

Carolina is looking to build off its win in the p r e s e a s o n a g a i n s t t he College of Charleston , while the Tigers enter the regular season with a 1-1 preseason record.

“It sets us in a good step for t he open ing of t he season against Clemson,” coach Mark Berson said .

“We need to take it up a couple of levels in intensity and performance, but I think our team’s ready to do that.”

The preseason shined light on many new faces whom Gamecock fans can expect to see in the match on Friday.

Both goals scored in the preseason were scored by new freshman additions to the Gamecock’s front line, Chipper Root and Bradlee Baladez.

“It’s very encouraging,” Berson said of his y o u n g s t e r s . “ To h a v e bot h goals [come f rom freshmen] shows that they are learning very quickly and we have lots of players who will be able step up and help us at different times and I think that’s very important.”

Another freshman whose big play in the preseason could earn him playing time on Friday night is goalie A lex Long. Long allowed only one goal in 90 minutes of play in the p r e s e a s o n a nd p r ove d himself to be a big asset for the 2010 season.

While the new freshmen will have to prove themselves on Friday night, Berson is also looking to veteran players to help push the team to victory.

“They’re learning, and growing and sharing it with the younger guys,” he said.

NCAA rules interfere with Boise State University mourning death of recruit After tragedy, regulations prevent coaches from attending funeral, sending condolences The NCAA has done some dumb things.

It disqualified a 10,000 meter contestant from the national meet because his coach clicked t he wrong box on an online entrance form. It suspended former Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant for an entire season because he lied to them about visiting Deion Sanders, even though the visit was not a violation of NCAA rules. But listen to its latest stunt and see if it doesn’t make you want to bite through your femur.

Boise State University had recruited Emil Smith, a 6-foot-2 defensive end from Rancho Verde High School in Moreno Valley, Calif. Recruiting is not an easy business. Coaches must convince parents that they will take care of their child. They must make the athlete believe that their school is the best place for him or her. The

coaches at Boise State had succeeded in the case of Emil Smith. He had committed to Boise State and was ready to run out onto the ‘Smurf Turf’ at Bronco Stadium to follow in the footsteps of players like Ryan Clady, Ian Johnson and Jared Zabransky.

And then tragedy struck.

On the night of July 17, 2010, Smith died in a car accident, along wit h his brother, 22-year-old Dimitri Garcia. His parents were stunned, his teammates were saddened and the Boise State Rixon coaches were shocked.

Lane This is where you’re going First-year to want to start spreading A1 broadcast sauce on your thigh. journalism student Since Signing Day is on Feb. 2, Smith never signed his letter of intent. Because he never signed his letter of intent, Boise State coaches could not comment on him. Also, phone calls to players and families are not allowed

to be made by a team between June 1 and Aug. 31. So when Emil Smith’s life was cut short by an automobile accident, what were the coaches who had recruited him and bonded with him allowed to do?

Nothing.

Neither Boise State head coach Chris Petersen nor any of his coaches could contact Smith’s family. None of the coaches could send flowers. They could not even attend the funeral. And do you know why? Because Smith’s teammates would be there, so if Boise State’s coaches attended, they would be charged with an illegal recruiting visit. At a funeral!

The men and women who run the NCAA have the common sense of a tube of Go-Gurt and half the brain power. The coaches at Boise State had recruited the kid, connected with him and now they were not even allowed to utter his name.

They could not send their condolences to his grieving family. This young man was going to be part of their family, but they

could not express their remorse over his death in any way.

Of course, the NCA A made sure to announce to the world that Boise State could have applied for a waiver that would have allowed them to contact Smith’s family. Feel free at this point to sprinkle salt over your leg. Go ahead. Rub it in.

The fact that Boise State athletes and staff would have to apply for a waiver to express their sorrow to the parents of a deceased recruit is unfathomable. When does one need to fill out the appropriate paperwork in order to show compassion?

So, if you happen to see the Broncos play on a Saturday this fall, think about Emil Smith and how he would’ve loved to be there. Think about his family, the Boise State coaches and the people working at 700 W. Washington St. in Indianapolis, Ind., the home of the NCAA headquarters.

You can send them the medical bill from your femur incident.

No, wait. Not without a waiver.
