Students safe after Boston explosions 9 in USC athletic training group treat marathon runners Amanda Coyne
ACOYNE@DAILYGAMECOCK.COM
Seven athletic training students and two certified athletic trainers from USC were at the Boston Marathon Monday when two bombs exploded near the finish line. The blasts killed three and caused more than 130 injuries , according to Boston police. The nine-person USC delegation was all safe and accounted for as of Monday afternoon. Amy Sanderson, a master’s of business administration student, was confirmed to be safe. She finished the marathon in four hours. The explosions went off four hours into the men’s race, which began after the women’s race. A business associate confirmed she was unharmed but said he had not heard anything more from her.

St udies Charles Bierbauer said his daughter, a Pen nsylvania resident, finished the marathon shortly before hearing the explosions nearby. She was also uninjured. Some of the injured runners and spectators lost legs in the explosion. Blood pooled on Boylston Street, where a crowd cheered on competitors shortly before the bombs detonated. After the blasts, the USC students and athletic trainers treated injured athletes and possibly spectators in “outside ERs,” according to Toni Torres-McGehee , graduate director of the Athletic Training Education Program. Before the explosions, the group was split between two tents, one of which was near the finish line, Torres-McGehee said. The other was farther away, possibly at the race’s halfway point. None of t he st udents or at hlet ic trainers had cellphone service besides text messaging, and many were too busy MARATHON ● 2

As a wave of enticing smells hit the noses of those on the Horseshoe Monday afternoon, the voice of Annette Hoover met their ears. “We need another trash can over here!” she said. In the final minutes before the School of Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management’s annual Chefs on the Shoe, Hoover and her class of 58 students were bustling around, putting the final touches on tables and ensuring the chefs were ready to feed the masses. A s at t e nde e s l i ne d up t o purchase tickets, Hoover’s class
gathered for a final pep talk. “There are three things that we need to do today,” Hoover said. “Smile, help and No. 1: Every chef needs someone here as a runner.” The st udent s r u n n ing t he show are all members of Hoover’s HRTM 386 class , and they’d been working on the event all semester. “It’s almost 60 percent of their fi nal grade,” Hoover said. “I like to call it their final final.” Third-year advertising and public relat ions st udent and general manager of volunteers A n na Har t net t worked to coordinate people to help with the festivities. “We have over 80 volunteers here today,” Hartnett said. “We worked on a zero-dollar budget. Everything here is donated.” Plans for Chefs on the Shoe
started at the beginning of the semester, and since then, students have organized the participation of 23 chefs, a band and a silent auction. “ We h ave e ver yone f rom Lizard’s Thicket to the Marriott,” Hoover said. “Everybody will be competing for Grand Chef, first, second and third place. We also have a kids’ corner for the first time this year, which will be fun.” Upon pu rcha si ng t icket s, attendees were given access to the multitude of foods under a massive white tent in the middle of the Horseshoe. After tasting the samples, attendees voted for their favorite chef. O nce u nder t he tent , t he crowd found foods ranging from cupcakes to sliders to kabobs, with each sample only costing CHEFS ● 2
Shirts painted for awareness More than 150 vibrantly painted T-shirts flapped in the breeze on Greene Street Monday, but their colorful messages addressed a serious topic: sexual assault and violence awareness. Stand Up Carolina, a bystander accountability program within USC’s Sexual Assault and Violence Intervention and Prevention office, sponsored the display, as well as a live T-shirt painting on Greene Street last week, according to Michelle Eichelberger, the interpersonal violence program coordinator. Students across campus had been painting the T-shirts since spring break, and each color represents a particular issue. For example, pink indicates sexual assault, blue child abuse, purple hate crimes and red for men, either survivors or advocates for awareness. — Compiled by Kristyn Sanito, Editor-in-Chief

For the fi rst time in university history, USC has a quartet-in-residence. The Parker Quartet has been named the School of Music’s fi rst chamber music residency for 2013 and will host a series of concerts and coaching sessions this week . The internationally known, Grammy-winning string quartet, currently based out of Minneapolis, consists of Daniel Chong and Karen K im on violin, Jessica Bodner on viola and Kee-Hyun Kim on cello. “A quartet-in-residence is a very special thing for a university to have,” said Robert Jesselson, a USC professor of cello who was recently named the state’s professor of the year. “Whenever they go out they’ll be using the term ‘quartet-in-residence at USC,’ and this k ind of close collaboration with us is just wonderful for students and the community.” The four musicians have been working together for more than a decade, and Jesselson said evidence of how well they’ve gotten to know each other in that time can be heard in their music; it sounds like only one person is playing. “It’s really a spectacular k ind of music,” he said. “[The string quartet] is some of the most beautiful literature that we have — some of the most rarefied, sophisticated and intimate in the repertoire. It draws the listener into a world that is sublime and intricate, and expresses the whole range of human emotions.” The quartet kicked off its first week in residency Monday with public master classes on individual chamber instruments and a free concert at USC’s School of Music Recital Hall, which included Mozart’s “String Quartet in F Major, K. 590” and Debussy’s “String Quartet in G Minor.” A second concert will take place Friday, and Jesselson said audiences can expect to hear a broad range of “some of the greatest literature from the string quartet,” including the group’s Grammywinning rendition of Ligeti’s “Quartet No. 2.” The Parker Quartet’s residency is funded by a visiting scholars grant and in part by the School of Music. Jesselson said the school is currently in the process of collecting additional donations to secure the residency’s continued presence. The quartet is scheduled to return for a similar weeklong series of events in November. “We’re hoping to make it permanent for them to come in every year,” Jesselson said. “Our goal is to have an endowment that will fund this in the future.” Fol low i ng pr ivate coach i ng sessions w it h students during the day, a public chamber music master class will be offered in the School of Music Recital hall tonight at 7:30 p.m. On Wednesday, the Parker Quartet will visit the Fine A rts Center and the South Carolina Governor’s School for Arts and Humanities in

In Boston tragedy, USC volunteer efforts heroic E ach yea r, USC send s a g roup of athletic training students to the Boston Marathon for real-life medical experience. But after Monday’s tragic events, we’re glad our Gamecocks were able to give back in a way they probably didn’t expect. It’s been a shock for us all to hear t he g r uesome details t hat “We’re proud occurred after and find it two explosions caused more amazing our t h a n 130 fellow students i n j u r i e s a n d were able to use several deaths, including that their skills and of a n 8 -ye a r expertise to lend old spectator. We c a n a helping hand o n l y i m a g i ne in this tragedy.” h o w c h a o t i c it mu st have been for everyone at the event. It is heartbreak ing to hear about t hese t r ag ic e vent s, e spec ia l ly when it affects those closest to us, and our deepest sympathies go out to anyone who has been affected. We’re happy that, to our knowledge, n o n e o f t h e U S C s t u d e nt s w h o vent u red f a r f rom home to lend medical aid to runners were critically i nju red. We’re proud ou r fel low students were able to use their skills and expertise in this tragedy. They were heroic in a f right f u l situation. We fi nd it amazing that our fellow Gamecocks are out in the world lending a helping hand. These students are courageous and represent our school’s best. When we graduate from USC, it’s our sincere hope that we all will be able to use the valuable knowledge and experiences we gained here to help others and make a significant impact. Several of our peers can be proud of how much they’ve done already.

Rapid aid at marathon inspiring Red Cross, police courageous leaders The tragic events at the Boston M a r at hon Mond ay sho ok t he entire nation and the world. The marathon, which runs every year on a state holiday, brings tens of thousands of people together in the city to cheer on their friends and family. Runners t ravel f rom all over t he world to participate in one of the largest ma rat hon event s, but t r ag ic a l ly, t he explosions near t he Kathryn f inish line claimed Duggan three lives and Second-year i nju red more t h a n journalism student 130 people. T h i s e vent par t ic u larly h it s home for me b e c au s e I a m f r o m t he a r e a . Howe ver, p e ople t h rou g hout the nation are reaching out and ex pressing compassion for t he victims. The attack is an example of malevolence but also of how people form camaraderie in the m idst of deva st at ion a nd w i l l selflessly do whatever possible to help others in need. I n v ideo footage played repeatedly on the news, you will see many courageous individuals, l i ke t he Boston pol ice ac t i ng heroically and risking their own to save the lives of strangers. This is a part of their responsibility to serve and protect the city, but the instinct to do so with no hesitation or concern for their own safet y shows how devoted they are to
their jobs. M a n y c i v i l i a n s i n t h e c it y also showed self lessness in their immediate outreach to aid injured victims. The Red Cross reported it had enough blood donated by volunteers to meet demand after numerous runners who had just completed t he 26. 2-m i le r u n, a mo n g ot her s , r u s he d t o t he hospitals to donate blood to help t hose who had been hurt. The fact that the Red Cross received enough blood so quickly shows the drive so many people have to help others in the face of an imposing threat. I n add it ion, t he people who worked at the rest stations, race officials and volunteers also stayed in an area of high risk, corralling runners and injured people to get them to a safe area are courageous and examples of ordinar y individuals doing extraordinary things. By placing the needs of t hose who were injured before t hei r ow n showed except iona l cit izenship and amid Monday’s senseless violence, we can be proud of them. W hile t hese t y pes of attack s of ten d iscou r age ou r f a it h i n humanity, hope should be instilled when see the community coming together to help the injured before thinking of themselves. Support from around the nation is already showing for Boston and all those who were affected by this attack. While there are horrible people out there, we are a nation full of people devoted to protecting and aiding the safety of others.
When photos first surfaced of Beyonce and Jay-Z in Cuba, a tiny tropical nation 90 miles off the coast of Florida, I an unusual amount of news covered t he v ac at io n pl a n s of o ne married couple — even if they are two of our country’s biggest musical stars. But when our nation’s lawmakers chimed in on the couple’s so-called i n s e n s i t i v i t y, I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. Cr it ic s, such Aaron a s F lor id a S e n . McDuffie Marco Rubio, First-year quickly criticized political science t he couple for student visiting the c o u nt r y h e c l a i m e d i s a n example of political oppression at it s f i nest. Rubio , among others, lambasted the couple for taking advantage of loopholes allowing American citizens to visit Cuba, despite our nation’s current embargo and tourism ban on the country. But why do we continue to block A mer ic a n s’ tou r ism , and why do we suddenly care about the Cuban government’s reported acts of oppression? We d o n ’ t t a k e s u c h a stance when it comes to other countries with shak y human rights records, such as China , nor do we l im it t rade w it h communist countries, such as Vietnam. Despite it not posing any grave threat or danger to our country, why do our nation’s law makers cont inue to take an unreasonably tough stance against Cuba? It’s out rageous t hat, even t o d a y, m a n y p e o p l e a r e u nw illing to abolish t he unnecessary laws against Cuba. Apparently, some still like to be victims of unrealistic fears due to their inability to move for wa rd a nd leave t he past behind.
Cancer gene patents could stifle vital research Supreme Court must overturn monopoly for life-saving breast, ovarian tests The gay rights battle over marriage equality seemed to edge out most other political issues in the national news cycle last month, but that doesn’t mean other big things weren’t on the Supreme Court’s agenda. The court began to hear arguments in the trial against research giant Myriad Genetics for its genetic patents Monday. T he P ubl ic Pat ent Fou nd at ion a nd t he A merican Civil Liberties Union jointly filed a lawsuit against Myriad Genetics in 2009 for their 20-year patent on BRCA1 and BRCA2 , two genes that have been linked with breast and ovarian cancer. Such work, especially any advancements in the field of cancer treatment, is commendable, but that doesn’t mean we should give Myriad a free pass. These patents would prevent anyone, except for the patent holder, from “studying, testing or even looking at a gene,” which many fear could
stifle future research, according to the American Civil Liberties Union. Whenever an innovative breakthrough occurs in the scientific world, our government uses the patent system to allow inventors to profit from their hard work. To those at Myriad, the energy they put into research allows them to claim an inherent right to “ow n” t heir research of these two genes. The separation and linking of this gene to these types of cancer is new, but the mutation Emilie of the cells, or the mere forming of Dawson them in the fi rst place, is not. Second-year Th is is precisely why ma ny public relations quest ion t he validit y of genet ic student patents. Critics feel it isn’t right for a company to claim to “own” a part of the human body. They don’t challenge that it’s right for a company to be rewarded for their scientific investigation, and they don’t want to discount Myriad’s significant fi nancial investment in their
research. However, they feel allowing Myriad to be the sole gatekeeper of this revolutionary knowledge could reduce the public’s benefit from it. That’s an issue in this Supreme Court trial. Many fi nd Myriad’s aggressive price for a genetic test — The corporat ion is charging $2,000 for a test that only costs them about $300 to administer — an out rageous, monopolist ic practice the government should work to reduce. Myriad has said the company is merely trying to recover a portion of the research expenses, but the high price makes the test much less accessible to people at risk for cancer, whom we can all agree deserve the benefits of life-saving research. To ensure the public benefits from research and knowledge, the Supreme Court should agree with the plaintiffs. There’s too much at stake to not release Myriad’s hold on BRCA1 and BRCA2. Allowing others to research these genes is a life-or-death matter.

Bad boy Dylan (Max Theriot) tracks down his mother Norma to her new home at the Bates Motel, where he becomes embroiled in the town’s well-hidden, seedy underbelly.
Prequel to Hitchcock’s ‘Psycho’ brings murder, mystery to A&E network
“Bates Motel” is a prequel to Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 fi lm “Psycho,” set in the present day. Oscar-nominated a c t r e s s Ve r a Fa r m i g a ( “ Up i n the A ir” ) plays Norma Bates , the loving but controlling mother of Nor ma n , played by 21-yea r-old Freddie Highmore (“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” ). Both are perfectly cast and serve as the TV show’s strongest assets. Farmiga has not been feat ured in many films or television shows, but she is one of the fi nest actresses work i n g to d ay. She br i l l i a nt l y plays t he mu lt iple layers of her character: the normal single mother, t he wou nded woma n w it h deep secrets and mental problems and
the seductress with serious issues with the opposite sex. She pulls the audience and her son into believing everything she does is for the good of the family. Highmore is also magnif icent. With his tall, pencil-thin body and large, piercing eyes, he embodies A nt hony Perk ins , t he actor who played Norman in “Psycho,” more than any dialog ue could, though his nervous, uncertain mannerisms and shy, sometimes stuttering, voice carry the dialogue, too. Fa r m ig a a nd H igh more ma ke each other better. They have real chemistr y, and it creates tension whenever t hey are on screen together. The television show doesn’t follow the backstory in the film to the letter, but that’s for the best. “Psycho” is an excellent work and it should be trod with great care or not at all. Gus Van Sant trampled all over Hitchcock’s film with a pointless shot-by-shot
remake in color. “Bates Motel” has already been picked up for a second season, and, if it remains popular enough, it will likely get to the point where it goes into the events of the fi lm. It should be viewed as a companion piece to the fi lm, not a remake. Nobody can improve on Hitchcock’s masterpiece. The series began with Norman’s father dying suddenly, and — cue the “six months later” title card — his mother moving her son to White Pine Bay, Ore. She buys a hotel and the iconic, foreboding mansion behind the building. The equally iconic butcher knife gets some good use in the very fi rst episode. W hen the hotel’s former owner breaks into the house and starts to rape Norma, Norman comes in and knocks him out. At this point, and not in self-defense, Norma stabs him in the chest repeatedly.

BATES ● Cont. from 5 Bates just moved into tow n, and t hey don’t want to besmirch their business with a violent scandal, Mother Bates decides to du mp t he body into the harbor. Obviaously, this leads to trouble. The show has s up er ior ac t i n g a nd lush cinematography, but it a lso has some tonal issues. There are numerous moments in
the series that produce what seem to be unintentional laughs.

It’s just a ha nd. It cou ld be a million different hands.” Oh, right. It’s normal to go f ishing and find an old boot, a license plate a nd a severed hand. The show’s camp isn’t nece s sa r i ly bad, but it does make it funny when, possibly, it isn’t trying to be. Overall, “Bates Motel” is a solid show worth check ing out. You might fi nd the show so addictive that, like Janet Leigh , you might not check out.

USC wins regular season finale Senior Harry Menzies clinches men’s tennis victory on Senior Day
S out h Ca rol i n a men’s ten n i s ended its regular season in inspiring fashion Sunday, as senior and former walk-on Harr y Menzies clinched the win on Senior Day against No. 8 Kentucky with a gritty rally to earn the 4-3 victory. “Today couldn’t have been more storybook,” coach Josh Goffi said. “It really, honestly couldn’t. It was awesome. With the way his career has gone, t hat’s exact ly what he needed. He needed t hat, and he deserved it.” After winning the doubles point , t he No. 22 Gamecock s dropped t h ree st ra ight si ngle s matche s , putting Kentucky one victory away from claiming the contest. With the pressure on, sophomores Thiago Pinheiro and Kyle Koch won their matches , bringing the score to 3-3
and putting Menzies in position to secure the victory. After winning the first set and falling short in the second, Menzies faced a third-set tie at five games apiece. The only senior on USC’s roster won the next two games to seal the deal for himself and his team. “It’s really special. It’s something I’ll never forget,” Menzies said. “I looked out here before the match, and I was looking around and just thinking, ‘You know, if we don’t win this match, this could be the last one I ever play in this facility.’” Along with his heroics in singles play, Menzies contributed to the doubles point as well, partnering with Koch to earn the 8-5 victory. The duo has compiled a 15-7 record on the year en route to earning a No. 84 national ranking by the ITA . T he G a mecock s were a lso i n action Friday, registering a defi nitive shutout v ic tor y ag a i nst No. 13 Vanderbilt . South Carolina was led by a stellar performance from its
top singles player, junior Tsvetan Mihov, as he toppled Vanderbilt’s Rya n Lipma n , t he 10t h-ra n ked player in the country. W it h c o n s e c ut i v e s t at e me nt victories over two top-15 teams in a row, Goffi said his team’s resilience speaks volumes about the character of his players. “They ’ve proven it aga i n a nd again this season that they are just st rong i nd iv iduals,” G of f i sa id. “These kids are going to be very successful in whatever they do.” US C ’s s t r o n g f i n a l we e k e nd ea r ned t he tea m a 17-9 overa l l record, the highest win total since 2005, and a 7-5 mark in the SEC, the most conference wins since the 1999 campaign. The G amecock s w ill pract ice o n c e Tu e s d a y b e f o r e h e a d i n g to O x ford, M is s., for t he 2013 SEC Tournament , which begins Wednesday. As the No. 6 seed in the tournament, South Carolina w ill wait u nt il Thu rsday for it s first match, when it will face the
11th-seeded LSU Tigers (15-10, 5-7 SEC). USC has no small task ahead, a s t he SE C h a s e x p er ie nc e d a resurgence of talent this season, and the tournament will feature 11 of the nation’s top-25 teams. Beg i n n i ng t he sea son at No. 39, South Carolina has jumped 17 spots in t he ITA’s rank ings, but Goffi said the Gamecocks are still u nderapprec iated a nd w i l l play with a chip on their shoulders come tournament time. W it h a new w i n n i ng c u lt u re hoping to be established in t he men’s tennis program, Goffi said the team believes it can make waves in both the SEC tournament and, eventually, the NCAA. “ T h i s yea r, I t h i n k ou r expectations have changed, and I think these guys are excited to go into tournament time,” Goffi said. “We’re setting new goals right now. The season’s done, and now we’re moving on to the tournament.”
Softball drops home games against Bulldogs USC looking for 1st SEC series win; Julie Sarratt’s pitching strong in loss
Softball coach Beverly Smith passed along simple advice to pitcher Julie Sarratt. The result was one of Sarratt’s best outings of the season against Georgia. But it wasn’t enough for South Carolina, as the Gamecocks lost their last two games of the series. Heading into Sunday’s fi nale, the series was tied at 1-1. South Carolina won the opener 6-2 but dropped Saturday’s contest 7-6. USC has lost all five of its SEC series this season. Smit h encouraged Sarratt to focus on her off-speed and changeup pitches against Georgia’s offense. Sarratt said her goal was to keep the Bulldog hitters guessing. Sarratt helped the Gamecocks keep all three games close, as the redshirt sophomore pitcher held one of the SEC’s top offenses in check. “ Her p er for m a nc e s on t he mou nd were fantastic,” Smith said. Sarratt pitched the entirety of the Friday and Sunday contests. She allowed 10 hits and two runs Friday, but just five hits and two runs Sunday. Sarratt’s play in the series brought her season ER A to 2.85, the team’s lowest. She has a 5-5 pitching record on the season. Despite the loss, Sarratt was proud of how her teammates stepped up against the competition. “They were behind me the whole time,” she said. “We were right there with them, fighting the whole time.” Said Smith: “This was an exciting series for sure. I was pleased that we put ourselves in a position to win all three games.” The team will look to accentuate the positives of this weekend’s performance heading into the remainder of the SEC schedule.
“Well the SEC is a buzz saw,” Smith said. “We have certainly faced some of the toughest teams in the conference.” The Gamecocks have three more conference series this season. South Carolina will travel to Auburn and Mississippi State and host the thirdranked Gators to conclude the regular season. “I think the remainder of the schedule sets up well for us,” Smith said. “We’re right there. It’s not always about which team has the most talent, it’s about who plays the best on gameday.” Smith said she has been getting the team to focus on details at the plate and on the mound.
“We are just giving up too many [runs],” Smith said. “We’ve got to figure out a way to hold our opponents down better.” Sarratt felt the team also needed to improve offensively by attacking the ball. The Gamecocks haven’t scored more than six runs against SEC competition this season. “We just really need fight right now,” Sarratt said. “I think we have it.” The G amecock s w ill face of f aga i nst Presbyterian tonight at the Pine Grove Complex in West Columbia.
