Marcus Lattimore announces retirement from NFL Will return to South Carolina to finish public health degree Danny Garrison

@DANNYLGARRISON

And the running back will have some fi nancial help in his retirement.

He has ear ned $825,0 0 0 du r i ng his two years on the non-football injury list, along with his $300,584 signing bonus, none of which the

49ers will seek repayment.

Despite both his sophomore and junior years ending prematurely, Lat t i more st i l l holds a nu mber of records in the South Carolina football program. His 38 rushing touchdowns are the most in school history, and his 1,197 rushing yards in his fi rst year are the most ever for a freshman.

Members reach out to organizations for feedback Brandon Waltz

@BRANDONDWALTZ

Members of student organizations may have seen some new faces at their meetings last week. These new faces were members of USC Student Government participating in a new outreach called Student Government Steps Out. Student Government Steps Out was an event in which senate and executive cabinet members sat in on meetings of groups they were interested in, allowing them to speak about student government and also to hear feedback from the groups. According to Lauren Harper, chief of staff for Student Body President Lindsay Richardson, their hope was to use this program as a way to be more transparent to students.

Organizations were selected if they met on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday between 5:30 p.m. and 8 p.m.

These are the typical meeting times of the senate and cabinet, whose members were allowed to visit two of the 45 organizations that they were interested in.

Secretary of Multicultural Affairs Jon McClary visited the Association of African American Students’ Freshman Council.

“I shared with them exciting new things that student government has been up to,” McClary said in an email. “Being that this group was a council of 16 freshman African-American females, I spoke about the importance of student involvement and leadership and their duty to serve the Carolina community.”

A few ways SG helps student organizations is with planning and promoting events through the communications team, helping them receive money through the treasurer’s office and building ties between student leaders.

“I think by going to various organizations, it helped put names and faces to student government, making it more personal,” said Secretary of Organizational Outreach Elijah Christian in an email. “I think the organizations that were visited definitely have a better understanding of what SG does for them, and how we care about our student organizations!”

For students who have an interest not found in one of the 411 student organizations on campus, new organizations are easy to make. All it takes is at least 10 interested students and a faculty member to sponsor it.

Mayor Benjamin passed out pulled pork sandwiches to students on Greene Street over conversation.

Students tell Benjamin their thoughts, concerns Brandon Waltz

@BRANDONDWALTZ

Po l it i c s a n d p o r k u n it e d Wednesday on Greene Street w it h “BBQ w it h Benja m i n.”

The mayor’s office and student government co-sponsored the event, which had Mayor Steve Benjamin serving pulled pork sandwiches to students and talking to them about local issues.

“I want to have a chance to do some fellowshipping, some social time and listen to students, hear

what’s important to students,” Benjamin said. “The university is such a part of who Columbia is, part of our identity, so I think the more time we have to interface on a social level with all you guys is just so important.”

Benja m i n got h i s st a r t i n government in 1999 when he was appointed to Governor Jim Hodges’ Cabinet as Director of the Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services. He was elected mayor in 2010 and reelected in 2013.

W h i le s e r v i n g a s m a y o r, Benja m i n has been awa rded an Aspen Rodel Fellowship for

democracy, received an honorary doctorate of humanities from Francis Marion University and was elected to the US Conference of Mayors Trustee in 2012.

W hen asked what t y pes of questions he expected students to ask, Benjamin said was anticipating having to address “all the same issues that are important to most people.” He did adm it being relieved that no one asked any parking questions.

“Whatever students are learning here on campus, I’d like to turn that into a profitable professional BBQ • 3

But $83 also gets you into either gym on campus, lets you join student organizations and provides you with free movies and concerts, courtesy of Carolina Productions.

All students who take at least 12 credit hours pay a campus activity fee of $83, while other students pay seven dollars per credit hour. This adds up to a grand total of $4,523,861.

“I think the best way to think about this fee is your buy-in to campus life,” said Ryan Harman, Student Government treasurer.

After Student Government executives went to the SEC Exchange, they realized that other universities broke down the numbers of the campus activity fee and published the data to their students.

“The whole goal of this has been to take that information and synthesize and organize it into a format that’s a little bit more accessible to students,” FEE • 3

Children spanked over spilt milk in unlawful child neglect case Christopher Glen Cooper was charged on two counts of unlawful child neglect and one failure to appear summons on Tuesday, The State reported. Booked in the J. Reuben Long Detention Center, Cooper received a bond set at $5,000 for the neglect charges and no bond for failure to appear.

The police report says the boys, ages 3 and 4, were spanked for possibly spilling milk on a baby, leading to the neglect charges. Cooper told Horry County police the boys had caused the injuries, which the police report identifies as marks on their chests, by falling.

The incident occurred over Halloween weekend and the report was filed Sunday.

The police report does not elaborate on the extent of the boys’ injuries.

The days of getting into Fort Jackson by simply presenting a driver’s license are now over; as an attempt to prevent attacks, the FBI and U.S. Army have teamed up on new regulations requiring visitors to pass a background check for credentials to access the base, The State reported.

Passes can be received, after names are checked in the FBI National Crime Database, through the Physical Security Office at the base’s main gate on Forest Drive and Interstate 77. An official policy is not yet in place for how long credentials last, but people who frequent the base can apply for extended passes lasting up to a year.

Access is easier on Wednesdays and Thursdays, which are the base’s family and graduation days. Col. Mike Graese says these events bring in roughly 6,000 people per week.

endeavor when they leave here,” Benjamin said. “I expected a range [of questions].”

Benjamin was in familiar territory on USC’s campus. Benjamin graduated from USC in 1991 with a political science degree, and he graduated from USC School of Law in 1994.

While a student here, he served as president of both student government and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s USC chapter.

Although he has a special connection with students at USC, he said he also relates to students originally from out of state.

“I came here 27 years ago as an out of state student. I came here from New York City, and my first day on campus was my first day ever coming to Columbia. I found a very supporting environment that embraced me and integrated me well into the surrounding community,” Benjamin said. “The university is meant to be a microcosmic community, what makes it strong is that we bring people in from all across the country, all across the world, right here. Regardless of where you grew up, you have opportunity to interface with people from such diverse backgrounds.

That’s what makes t his experience so important.”

Harman said.

For t he c a mpu s ac t iv it y fee allocation report, Harman divided the different university accounts covered by t he fee based i nto categories depending on how they impact the student body.

Ad m i n ist rat ive ser v ice s a nd fees cost st udent s $6.28. Th is allocation serves as a tax on the use of university infrastructure and has specifically paid for lights, travel and check issuing, among other things, in the past.

Clubs are paid for with $4.15 of the campus activity fee, which covers ever ything from undergraduate costs to events such as Birdcage and World Night. Sports clubs receive a total of $35,977, while student activities in general receive $191,525. Undergraduate students receive $185,367, or 81 percent, of the activity portion of the fee.

St udent s pay $24.85 towards student support staff salaries, which are dictated by the Statehouse, and $5.41 for student media.

After Dark, receives $11.91, while the Student Leadership and Service Center, tasked with Tiger Burn and Homecoming, is given $6.41.

Student services and programs, which is responsible for intramurals and group fitness, receives $12.87.

Student government works with a budget of $4.25 from each student per semester.

Student legal services, the newest addition to the campus activity fee, takes $2.65 from each fee. This service deals mostly with landlordtenant disputes.

“Instead of hiring a lawyer, which could range from thousands, paying $2.65 instead is a real advantage for students,” Student Body President Lindsay Richardson said.

Finally, Russell House receives $4.21, mostly for improvements.

S p e c i f i c a l l y, H a r m a n a n d R ichardson are hoping to start budget dialog ues in November to think more strategically about where students should go in terms of budget. They are hoping to hear qualms about how this money is spent and then begin to address them.

“One thing Lindsay really focused on this semester is developing your thoughts before you use your voice,” Harman said. “The first step is advocating a student thought on the campus life fee.”

Despite the many statistics and graphs in the report, Harman and Richardson hope that students will take away the big picture of trying to make the most of their money.

“I think the best way to look at this, from a student perspective, is looking at that and saying that, for $6.41, are there sufficient resources to make sure t hat st udents are get t ing t heir money ’s wor t h?”

Harman said. “That’s really difficult because it requires you to step back and think about the needs of all students.”

Harman and Richardson hope to produce this data several times each year in the future, but Harman saw this as a “litmus test” to see the initial student reaction.

“Maybe the student body might find this of interest and that’s totally fine,” Richardson said, “but we had to put this out there to see.”

Cirque du Soleil brings myth to life in ‘Varekai’

DJ Bookmobile Dick Nixon’s Tip Top Record Shop, Sunday 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. - ’60s and ’70s The ’60s and ’70s were a tumultuous time in American history, and its music reflected that — prominent musicians of the time turned to psychedelic and spiritual themes, and the results could be wildly experimental. However, the period also featured the rise of Motown Records, and the accompanying boom period for funk, soul and R&B. Always compelling, the open emotion of the music led to mournful ballads, as in Bettye Lavette’s “I’m Not The One,” and righteous crowdpleasers, such as Irma Thomas’ “Breakaway.”

Enjoy this window into the past of American soul, also known as what rappers sample.

Cirque du Soleil has a reputation for being weird, different and experimental, and they wouldn’t have it any other way.

Cirque du Soleil is a touring imaginative arts company based in Quebec, Canada that combines traditional circus elements such as fire breathing and acrobatics with expressive dance, wild costumes and involved storytelling. From Nov. 5 to Nov. 9, they’re presenting “Varekai,” a whimsical adventure through a magical forest into the mythical land of Varekai (meaning “wherever,” in the Romany language of the gypsies), at the Colonial Life Arena.

The story begins with the Greek myth of Icarus, and as in the myth, he flies too close to the sun and melts the wax holding his wings together. He then descends into the ocean, but in the Cirque du Soleil version, he is given a second chance in Varekai. He finds himself in this mystical, magical world full of wise and absurd creatures that teach him how to use his legs to pick himself up after he falls down, and that he doesn’t need wings to fly.

“It has this dream-like fantasy-world feel where you feel like you’re escaping reality, and you’re into the story where none of the creatures really talk, but they’re conveying an emotion,” said “Varekai” publicist Vanessa Napoli. “And I think what attaches

a person to Cirque du Soleil is that emotion that is felt, which is not felt if you just watch a show. If you’re watching a cabaret you’re like ‘wow those things are really great,’ but you’re not emotionally tied to it.”

Instead of having separate unrelated acts, this circus is presented as a whole, all the better to tell a coherent story. A circus show may seem a difficult platform for character and storytelling, but Cirque du Soleil employs gestures, facial expressions and emotive movements to tell its non-verbal story.

“We’re not a traditional circus, so we don’t have animals in our show. It’s not a cabaret style circus, which is very traditional, which is act after act and applause,” Napoli said. “There’s always a theme, there’s always a story, there’s something tying it together, there’s a purpose in why they’re doing the act they’re doing and it all links into the story.”

Storytelling is important to a Cirque du Soleil show, but there’s plenty of spectacle on display as well.

“Varekai” features handbalancing on canes, human juggling and aerial straps, which creates the illusion of flight.

“It’s very theatrical, it has live music, obviously amazing costumes, so you tie all these things together and you get something a little bit more magical ... it feels more like you’re experiencing something then you’re just watching the show,” Napoli said.

The performers, designers and directors that work with Cirque du Soleil are all highly experienced — Dominic Champagne, writer and director of CIRQUE • 5

Ed’s Editions isn’t your typical bookstore.

F r o m t h e o u t s i d e , E d ’s Editions looks small, but inside it holds a staggering amount of books — around 40,000, in fact, and about 10,000 of which are available on the store’s online database.

A rou nd 80 percent of t he book s i n t he store are nonfiction, and the fiction tends more towards classical literature t han any t hing else, so don’t treat it like Barnes and Noble.

Above all, Ed’s Editions strives to provide hard to find, used, out

of print and rare books.

Founder Ed Albritton, was looking to make a change after a long career in community mental health when he opened the store in the summer of 2001.

Getting a physical location was the end point of a long process.

“My business has gone t h rough a nu mber of steps, but it originally started out as book scouting to book dealers,” Albritton said.

From scouting, he went on to sell books at an antique mall.

Then he started selling books online with Amazon — in fact, he’s one of A mazon’s earliest customers, a nd he’s been in business with the company for almost 20 years. So once he fi nally started to get a customer base, he decided to create his

own store.

“I was ready to do something different,” Albritton said. “I’ve always liked books, and t his seemed like a fun venture to take on.”

The store is fam ily r u n and operated — his wife, son, daughter and grandson are all involved in the stores operations.

Ed’s Editions is k nown for specializing in South Carolina history and military history, but there’s a large range of categories to choose from — more than 100 major categories of books can be found throughout the store.

Albritton obtains some of the hard-to-find and rare books at estate sales and auctions, but most of his books come from well-known customers trying to EDITIONS • 5

“Varekai,” is the Artistic Director of his own theater company, and the rest of the resumes behind “Varekai” are similarly impressive. In a way, Cirque du Soleil is a sport, driven by sweat, commitment and teamwork.

Its athletes have a difficult task: they must exemplify grace and beauty in outrageous, conceptual costumes, all while telling a story. Every show is a culmination of vast amounts of experience and dedication.

“There’s def i n itely somet h i ng there for everyone. Whether you like theater, whether you like athleticism or acrobatics, whether you come for the amazing costumes or whether you come for the acting — because the acting is phenomenal — you know there’s defi nitely something there for everyone,” Napoli said.

downsize the number of books they have.

Since there are so many categories of books on the shelves, Albritton is open to receiving a wide variety of books. The limiting factor, though, is their condition — he won’t take anything too beaten up.

“Condition is critical for us when we buy books,” Albritton said. “Even if it’s a 100-year-old book, it’s still got to be in good condition.”

Albritton takes pride in how the store has come along in its 14 years.

The shelves are constantly changing because of all the books he acquires and sells. “ We t r y to br i ng a d if ferent b o o k s t o r e e x p e r ie n c e f o r o u r customers,” he said, “and so far, I believe we’ve done a good job.”

Head to Head Should out-of-state students care about local politics?

Yes

No

Kathleen Schipano

Ben Turner

Second-year print journalism student

Third-year print journalism student

After the onslaught of Facebook pictures of stickers, badgering tweets from friends in Student Government and text reminders from your parents or overly polit ical uncle, you k now you were supposed to vote on Tuesday.

While you may have slept, tried to catch up on homework or done literally nothing productive, the poll numbers from Tuesday show that there were a great deal of us who didn’t vote.

Many didn’t care about the election, and many more didn’t even take the time to register to vote.

A s col lege st udent s, we use ou r t ravel i ng circumstances and being away from where we technically call “home” as an excuse to not voice our opinions at the polls.

And why should an out-of-state student care about South Carolina politics?

Because you live here. For the majority of the year you are in this state, working and living and abiding by the results of elections that you are eligible to take part in but choose not to.

Even if you don’t identify as a South Carolinian, you must identify as someone who has definite opinions about the way policies should be executed and upheld. Those opinions aren’t exclusive to your home state.

If you believe in the Democratic agenda, why would you not vote for a candidate that you felt upheld those values to gain political standing, no matter what the state? The same goes for Republicans, Independents and Libertarians.

Essentially, even if you believe a squid overlord should rule us all in an annual reenactment of the Boston Tea Party on the White House lawn, you should vote for the politician who you feel would bring that horrible idea to that horrible reality. It doesn’t matter where you are. Vote.

Even if you don’t care about South Carolina, you can help someone advance politically, which could mean a favorable candidate for you in a future presidential election.

While I try my best to not sound like a generic Facebook post in any aspect of my life, I will stand by the sentiment your Aunt Sue posted: If you didn’t vote, you can’t complain. If you think South Carolina is a-- backward, and you are uncomfortable with the largely conservative political climate, don’t open your mouth about it unless you made an attempt to change it.

You have a right to vote to change the things around you, and for four years — and maybe more — South Carolina politics directly affect you.

Beyond that, South Carolina politics will be a part of the national stage for your entire life. If you disagree with them or think they’re great, voice that opinion while you have the chance.

W hen t he fou nd i ng fat her s g at hered i n Philadelphia in 1787 to write the U.S. Constitution, they did not forsee thousands of young people away from their homes deciding where to vote. In those days, only white men who owned property could vote and students did not fall into this category.

I n a d d it io n , t he id e a of t he Ho u s e of Representatives, and indeed, election of governors, depended on the notion of a permanent home.

James Madison and the Federalists counted on an informed electorate to choose leaders that would advocate local interests in the congress. Decisions at the state level came from the legislatures full of locally-minded men who were prominent members of their communities.

Add to that the voting age was not lowered to 18 until 1971 and the issue of where students should vote is a new one. Should they vote where they go to school or vote where they live?

There are drawbacks to voting absentee. The process is often confusing — I’ve tripped over hurdles myself trying to get a ballot. However, there are advantages.

One upside is that you can potentially have a greater impact with your vote. South Carolina is a one-party state in which there were no competitive statewide elections this year. My home state of Indiana is traditionally more competitive, and so I feel like my vote counts more there because the outcome is not pre-determined.

Also, one should take into consideration their knowledge of local politics and issues. If you’ve grown up in a community all your life, you are more likely to know the issues that affect that community.

College students are sometimes disconnected from the towns they live in, as they spend the majority of their time on campus or traveling to campus.

Next fall, the mayor of my hometown will run for re-election. He promised to end traffic gridlock and promote business by changing a maddening maze of downtown one-way streets that I hate back to normal. I’m planning on voting for him, in part because of this issue. I couldn’t tell you the mayor of Columbia’s name and I don’t drive in downtown Columbia.

Finally, t here is t he moral quest ion. Our representative system depends on leaders advocating the best interests of their constituents. If people that are not invested in the community’s long-term survival are allowed to shape the representation of the community, then are the other people in the community being represented?

Voting absentee allows you to vote for the leaders and representatives of your home community, makes you a more informed voter and can increase the political power of your vote. Next election, buy some stamps, lick an envelope and vote.

Death, sex both parts of living “The Millennial Classicist” on erotic funeral processions We in A merica would be hard-pressed to describe our funerary mourning practices as erotic, but this is surprisingly more common than you might imagine.

Two examples of “sexy” mourning practices, from modern-day Taiwan and ancient Greece, requ ire even secular members in Western societies to reexamine seemingly fundamental ideas about a community’s ritual debt to the dead.

In some communities in rural Taiwan, strippers perform at funerals and festivals commemorating the dead. The stated purpose of this ritual is to entertain passing spirits of the dead. The ritual is neither new nor unorthodox, though there has been an upsurge of criticism from middle and upper class men that the practice is harmful to public morality.

Thus, it has become less common in urban areas. According to one report, local supporters said that the practice is a “traditional folk culture lacking in the sharp separation of sex and religion often seen in other parts of the world.”

Now to go back in time and consider another sexualized mourning practice: the ancient Greeks.

In, for example, Homer’s “Iliad,” women would rend their clothes and let down their hair.

Both of these actions, especially the latter, were X-rated, according to renowned Homer scholar Gregory Nag y. Women would in no other circumstances let down their hair. And the themes of sex and death occurred together elsewhere.

For e x a mple , i n t he lo st “S ong of t he Et hiopians,” Achilles and A mazon warrior Penthesilea, presented in many ways as lovers, dueled to Penthesilea’s death.

Much more could be said about this literary theme, but it is perhaps more productive to ask why these themes, to modern Westerners so distinct, are intertwined in other cultural worldviews.

One answer is that sex — insofar as it is reproduction — stands in opposition to death.

Perhaps, where our primary association with sex is pleasure, for other societies, the primary association is fertility, so the distinction makes more sense. It is the result of Christian morality or modern psychology that removed sex from a social context (i.e., as an act that benefits the society as a whole) into, at least initially, a personal context.

It is in light of this that Foucault sighed at “the image of the imperial prude ... emblazoned on our restrained, mute and hypocritical sexuality.”

Perhaps, we would do well not to forget the notion from our polytheistic past that sex and death are parts of the vicissitudes of life. They are not to be feared or painted with moral tar.

Welcome home, Lattimore ISSUE Recently retired from the NFL, Lattimore will return to USC. OUR STANCE He’s gone through a lot; the least we can do is support him.

Ver y recent ly, t he sports world heard the heart-wrenching news that Marcus Lattimore’s injuries would keep him from ever stepping onto an NFL field as a player. Instead of that path, he has decided to return to USC to fi nish up his public health degree.

The former USC running back,

who broke numerous school records as a college athlete including most touchdowns, was faced with a choice no one wants to think about: what happens after?

W h at h a p p e n s a f t e r a w r it e r develops a debilitating stroke and can barely summon the energ y to pick up a pen? What happens after a guitar legend loses a hand in a freak accident? What happens after a master painter goes blind?

For Lat t i more, “what happens after” means making the choice he thinks is best for him: coming back to USC as a student to fi nish his degree.

This decision must have been very difficult. The pain of physical therapy is already beyond what most of us could conceive. Lattimore himself went through this process for t wo years before deciding that he would never get to the point where he could play football professionally.

After putting so much work into one option, he felt forced to leave his dream of football behind.

Ne v e r t he le s s , we’r e g l ad he’s coming back to school to finish his education. To those st udents who were able to see him play in college football, Lattimore is a figure almost

as beloved as Steve Spurrier. His status as a celebrity is hard to overstate.

Now that he’s coming back as a full-time student instead of a studentathlete, he’ll have the time to pursue avenues at USC that were unavailable to him as a football player. He is acutely conscious that he’s coming back a s someone w it h i n f luence and plans to use those to “provide opportunities and platforms to benefit youth sports programs in the state of South Carolina.”

Home is where one goes to recover from loss. The least we can do is welcome him home.

Gamecocks battle Lobos to end season

Women’s soccer trumps Tigers

Men’s soccer aims for top-four seed in C-USA tournament next week Kelli Caldwell @TDG_SPORTS

Jeffrey Davis / THE DAILY GAMECOCK

Junior Stevi Parker scored the first goal of the game in South Carolina’s 2-1 win against Missouri in the SEC tournament.

Gamecocks advance to SEC semifinals in conference tournament Dalton Abel

@DALTONABEL_22

It was the Gamecocks’ fi rst-ever win against the Tigers and also served as revenge for a 1-0 loss at the hands of Missouri in its SEC home opener.

Fif t h-seeded Sout h Carolina withheld the pressure brought by the Tigers’ frantic style of play for most of the night, only relinquishing a goal with four minutes remaining.

Senior goalkeeper Sabrina D’Angelo recorded four saves in the victory.

The Gamecocks struck first in the 24th minute on junior midfielder Stevi Parker’s third goal of the season. After a deflected ball came to Chelsea Drennan, the sophomore midfielder dropped it back to Parker,

who drove a low shot just inside the left post. The assist was Drennan’s 10th game-winning setup of her career.

South Carolina got a much needed insurance goal from sophomore forward Sophie Groff in the 57th minute. After a couple quick moves brought her closer to the middle of the field, Groff squeezed a shot just inside the right post past Tiger keeper McKenzie Sauerwein.

The second half of Wednesday’s m atc h saw sig n i f ic a nt ly more offensive action than the fi rst half.

At halftime, the Gamecocks had outshot Missouri 6-2. By game’s end, South Carolina’s advantage was 13-12.

Freshman midfielder Savannah McCask ill paced the Gamecock offense with four shots, two of which were on goal. The SEC Freshman of the Year also gained the possession for South Carolina’s second goal before feeding the ball to Groff in

open space down the right flank.

Despite Missouri’s early pressure, it did not record a shot until the 28th minute. The Gamecock backline, paced by redshirt senior defender Taylor Leach, allowed Missouri to advance the ball without penetrating deep into the box.

However, Leach’s presence was missed when she went off midway through the second half with an apparent back injury. She did return with 12 minutes remaining to help slow down a Missouri offense that picked up steam during her absence.

Wednesday’s result sets up a rematch Friday of last year’s SEC Tournament semifinal against Texas A& M. The top-seeded A gg ies, who defeated Georgia 3-0 in their quarterfinal match, defeated the Gamecocks 2-1 last year en route to the SEC Tournament title.

LATTIMORE • Continued from 1 And the running back will have some financial help in his retirement. He has earned $825,000 during his two years on t he non-football inju r y list, along with his $300,584 signing bonus, none of which the 49ers will seek repayment.

Lat t i more w i l l a lso be able to collect a tax-free $1.7 m illion f rom a n insu ra nce policy as long as he’s declared physically unable to play by a doctor.

Despite both his sophomore a nd ju n ior yea rs end i ng prematurely, Lattimore still holds a number of records in the South Carolina football p r o g r a m . H i s 38 r u s h i n g touchdowns are the most in school history, and his 1,197 r u sh i ng y a rd s i n h i s f i r st year are the most ever for a freshman.

The 49ers took a chance on Lattimore in fourth-round of the 2013 draft despite his two knee injuries. He never played a dow n for Sa n Fra ncisco, but the endearing personality he beca me k now n for at Sout h Carolina apparent ly won over some people in the 49er organization, including general manager Trent Baalke.

“This was a very difficult decision for Marcus and it was clear after speaking with him that he had put a lot of thought into it,” Baalke said.

“He is a high-character young man who has done everything asked of him and more during his time with us, and we have a great deal of respect for the strength and commitment he showed throughout the rehab process.”

Jeffrey Davis / THE DAILY GAMECOCK

Marcus Lattimore retired after a year and a half in the NFL because of a knee injury.

South Carolina’s men’s soccer team will travel to Albuquerque, New Mexico to take on the Lobos Friday night at 9 p.m. in the last game of the regular season for both teams.

It will be a battle to see who can get the upper hand in seeding for the Conference USA tournament t hat runs from Nov. 12 to Nov. 16. A win could launch the Gamecocks (8-8, 3-4 Conference USA) into fourth place in the conference should other league matches go their way. New Mexico (105-1, 3-4 Conference USA) and South Carolina are in a tie for sixth place and have both clinched one of the seven spots in the postseason conference tourney.

Redshirt freshman forward Mikkel Knudsen helped the Gamecocks achieve the berth in the last match with an 89th minute free-kick goal from 30 yards out at Old Dominion for the 1-0 victory. Perhaps it’s a good thing South Carolina is traveling to end the season since the team has gone undefeated on the road in conference thus far while losing every league contest at home.

Still, going up against the No. 25 Lobos will be a different beast than the Gamecocks’ previous home matches.

T he tea m had t he weekend of f because head coach Mark Berson wants to keep them fresh.

“At this time of the year, the main thing is to keep the players healthy,” he said. “Not having a game over the weekend has helped us heal up and prepare for the upcoming match.”

At this point in the season however South Carolina has not lost their edge, but according to Berson, the team’s main focus right now is technique.

“We are working on things we do well as a team to get sharp,” he said.

“Not necessarily adding anything, but just getting sharper and ready to execute our techniques.”

The Gamecocks will need to be at their best game against the Lobos who recently beat Old Dominion 4-0, having way less difficulty to come away with goals than South Carolina did.

Friday n ight w ill also be sen ior night in the Lobos stadium and with six seniors on the team, New Mexico should come out emotionally charged and ready to fight.

Gamecock senior Ryan Freiburger will also be playing in his last regular season match along with fellow seniors Jeff Addai, Robert Beebe, Mahamoudou Kaba, A sa K r yst, Dan Traxler and Braeden Troyer.

Freiburger said they will all have to move past the emotion that comes with the game and focus on the task at hand.

“This could be a big break for our last game,” Freiburger said. “So we have been having harder practices and more focus to try and get ready and to be prepared.”

In the regular season meeting last season bet ween the t wo teams, the Gamecocks won 1-0, but New Mexico still advanced to the NCAA Final Four.

“They have a very good team and especially being on the road on their field, the game will be tight just like last year,” Berson said.

Berson is hoping for a two-game win streak heading into the ConferenceUSA tournament.

Freiburger thinks his team will be ready to take home one of those top four spots for next week.

“Ever y t ime we go out , we feel confident,” Freiburger said. “I feel like we have a lot of guys who can make a difference out there in the game and we can make that difference when we all put our efforts out there.”
