Next generation of students to see new student union KAILEY COTA Assistant News Editor
The Russell House University Union is the hub for many students for socializing, dining or meeting with student organizations. The current union is located at 1400 Greene St., but plans for a new location are underway.
VOL. 114, NO. 8
R u s s e l l H o u s e — U S C ’s student union — is a place where students can grab food, have club meetings, study and hang out. It’s “the focal point of campus life,” according to the Russell House
website. But significant changes to Russell House could be years away. Bet ween fa l l 2015 a nd fa l l 2018, full-time undergraduate enrollment increased by 2,020 s t u d e nt s f o r t h e C o l u m b i a campus. Russell House has stayed
the same size since 1976 despite these increases in enrollment. Every other SEC school has added square footage to their student unions as recently as 2000. SEE RUSSELL PAGE 6
Professor who climbed ‘Seven Summits’ to retire ADDISON HINKLE News Writer
Patrick Hickey, a USC clinical associate nursing professor, conquered his fear of heights by climbing the Seven Summits of the world and has brought the experience back to students. Hickey will be retiring from his position this May. In 2007, Hickey became the first nurse in the world to climb the Seven Summits, t he tallest mountains on each of the continents, which include Mount Everest. “I wa s t he f i r st of a l l my team to get to [Mount Everest] base camp, a nd they’re banging on pans and pots, and they’re yelling, and they’re singing. I mean it’s, you know, the most exciting thing you’ve done your life,” Hickey said. Hickey, who is also the f ac u lt y pr i nc ipa l of t he Capstone scholars program, used his experience to create the personal challenge aspect of Capstone, where st udents choose a goa l to achieve anywhere f rom lear n i ng a new sk ill to overcoming a fear.

The personal challenge initiative is designed to help st udent s accompl ish t he goals they set for themselves t hroughout t heir college career and beyond. “I think, for the most part, when students are pushed to do something that challenges them and they do well, that gives them another platform to move forward and do other things,” Hickey said. Sophia Bertrand, a fourthyear experimental psychology and Capstone student, said in an email interview that her personal challenge for one semester was to apply for every scholarship she came across and was eligible for.

As university programs try to make USC more sustainable, st udent input is needed to overcome obstacles and change campus culture, according to leaders in campus sustainability. Every three to four years, t he u n i ver s it y s ubm it s a sustainability report, known as STARS, to the Association for the Advancement of Higher Education. Based on the results of this report, the university is scored on a nu mber of sustainability factors, such as public engagement, academic curricula and operations. Most recent ly, i n 2016,
the university was awarded a silver rating, earning 57.04 of a possible 208 points. The highest rating, platinum, requires at least 85 points. Jackson Eliasek, a student intern in the university’s Office of Sustainability, said campus engagement contributes to a large portion of the university’s success. “The place where we received the most points is in our student i nvol vement a nd s t udent engagement, and that’s because of Sustainable Carolina and the efforts that other students have made on this campus,” Eliasek, a fourt h-year f inance and economics student, said.

Taking Care of Yourself If you are thinking of ending your life or hurting yourself, there is hope. Things can get better. Tell someone who can help. Call Counseling and Psychiatry at 803-777-5223. Reach out to the people closest to you. It may feel as if there is no one available, but you are not alone. You have people who love and care for you. Reach out to them. If you believe you cannot talk to your parents, find someone else: a relative, a roommate, a friend, a professor, an adviser or a mentor.
HELPING SOMEONE ELSE Students in emotional distress are more likely to approach friends before they speak with a professional. If a friend sends out signs of distress, either in person or via social media, take it seriously and follow up with them. If someone makes comments about suicide, find the person help as soon as possible. Don’t leave the person alone if possible and offer hope.

USC students start fundraiser for popular Wendy’s employee
HALEY CAPPS News Writer A group of USC students have started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for a local Wendy’s employee after his house was severely damaged in a fire. As of March 1, the fundraiser raised $6,305 toward its $75,000 goal. Malcolm Coleman work s at t he Wendy’s across from the Darla Moore School of Business. On Coleman’s birthday in January 2019, an electrical fire started in his living room and led to tens of thousands of dollars in damages to his home. Coleman and his mother escaped the fire, but the house became uninhabitable. “It was just crazy and overwhelming, and it still just shakes me up sometimes,”
Coleman said. Due to a lapse in their i n s u r a nce t hat lef t t hem u nable to af ford repairs, Coleman and his mot her have st ayed w it h fam ily and friends over the past year. “ I ’m n o t gonna be u ng ratef u l for anything they do for me. I don’t care if it was a day. That was something,” Coleman said. Coleman said they have tried to find new housing, but it hasn’t been possible with their combined incomes. Coleman and his mother have endured a lot of emotional hardship along their housing problem, he said. Coleman’s father and both his older sisters have passed away, making him the “only living child of his mother.” “It’s k ind of opened up old stuff because, you know, I wish my sisters were here to help us cope and deal with this situation,” Coleman said. In the midst of this, Coleman works 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. at Wendy’s. His penchant for remembering the name of nearly every student that frequents Wendy’s has made him a cherished figure among USC students. Th i rd-yea r f i na nce a nd r isk management student Robert Caldaroni was the one who first learned about
Coleman’s housing situation and started t he GoFund Me campaign to help. Caldaroni said Coleman is “one of the many unsung heroes of the Carolina community.” “Walking into Wendy’s, you’ll hear Malcolm just calling people by name in line before they even order and, kind of, talking with them. He has this really strange ability to, if he talks to you twice, he’ll remember your name and your order, which is just really special, honestly, for a lot of kids,” Caldaroni said. Third-year international business and marketing student Alexis Braz created the video for Coleman’s GoFundMe campaign.
“It’s not often that you meet somebody that treats you the way that Malcolm does, especially in a fast-food setting. He’s like the type of person that takes pride in what he does, and he really makes you want to come back,” Braz said. K now n for br i ng i ng joy to t he students, Coleman said they do the same for him. “They don’t realize that them coming in, appreciating me for me, first of all, means a lot to me. It does, because they don’t realize the stuff I go through here,” Coleman said. SEE WENDY’S PAGE 16

So w it h t h i s ... g r e e n e v e nt certification, we’re trying to create a more inclusive, sustainable community.” One barrier in creating s u c h a c o m m u n i t y, though, has been visibility for on-campus resources, according to environmental studies student and Sustainable Carolina program director Caroline Zerhusen. “Because our off ice is in kind of a secluded place, somet imes it’s difficult for people to k now t hat we ex ist ,” Zerhusen said. “We get a lot of people that come to us by word of mouth. Or like, they come to one of our events they’re walk ing past, but it’s really, yeah, advertising is definitely difficult, and drawing people to our office.” One of t he newe st i n it iat ives to eng age students is the Green Greeks program, which plans to increase t he sustainability of Greek Village by decreasing energ y u se a nd food waste in t he v illage’s homes.

I mean, that’s what bureaucracy does. It’s because we’re all separated and then we’re supposed to have ou r w ay s of g et t i n g back to each other, and somet i me s t hose get mixed up,” Storlazzi, a third-year public health student, said. Hunt also said that a unified student vision would be necessary to implement change on campus. “If we’re going to work together to improve and to provide these services ... [students] should get people excited about doing it, but they should educate how to do it right,” Hunt said. “If we continue to piecemeal things, it’s not going to come out in a cohesive program.”

Russell House needs to a l mo st double i n siz e to adequ ately accom modate enrollment growth, according to a 2018 master plan study. In response to the master plan study, a feasibility study began in August to determine where more space could be added, how much the project could cost and how long it might take to finish. The three locat ions t he study began looking into are Russell House, the Carolina Coliseum and a plot of land on Main Street, according to Kim McMahon, the director of campus life and Russell House University Union. In April, the board of trustees will vote after hearing all of the options and a recommendation for which one to pursue. “I would anticipate the board will probably follow whatever conclusions they draw,” John von Lehe, chairman of the board of trustees, said.

student steering committee formed in January 2018. The committee aims to serve as “ambassadors” and to generate ideas for t he new st udent union. “Nothing’s off the table,” Smith said. At this point in the study, renov at i ng t he C a rol i n a Coliseum would be the longest and most expensive option. McMahon said she believes the board is more likely to renovate or rebuild Russell Hou se a nd add a second student union space on Main Street. Once the board chooses a location, there are still multiple steps before construction can begin. The new union will need to get state approval and open anot her project t hat focuses on the specific design of the building, according to McMahon. Additionally, USC has a list of other high-dollar projects in the making that would need to be completed before the new student union can progress at all, according to associate vice president for Student Life A nna Edwards. The other priorities are the Campus
s t udent s to do t he same. “You know, if you’re passionate about s o m e t h i n g, f o l l o w t hrough on your passions and seek out o p p o r t u n it i e s a n d don’t be afraid to go t h r o u g h t he d o o r, t he i nev it able door of opport u nit ies.

Village project and a health sciences location change. “That’s why this project will take years to actualize because all of those details have to be worked out,” Edwards said. Because of the steps the student union project still needs to take and the other projects that delay those steps, current students will likely graduate before construction on the new union begins. “It wou ld n’t be w ise to ad va nce t wo h igh- dol la r projects at t he same t ime because you would probably get neither,” McMahon said. “One needs to be advanced and be resolved first. If that one takes three years, we wouldn’t advance ours during that time. And ours would require the same lengthy approval process … We aren’t going to move any dirt for several years.” Once construction begins, it will take place in phases over the course of multiple years and will most likely be funded by student fees. The feasibility study has not yet published information about how much the fee might be or when it will be implemented.

CULTURE MOVIE OF THE WEEK: “Emma.” Based on Jane Austen’s famous novel, t he f il m adapt at ion of “Emma.” is about a high-class girl in a small English town. A beautiful girl, Emma Woodhouse, p l a y e d b y A n y a Ta y lo r - Jo y, lives alone with her father and, as a result, entertains herself with unusual activities, such as match-ma k i ng. T he comedy/ drama follows the amusing story of a young girl trying to find love for her friends, stumbling upon her own love story along the way. Directed by Autumn de Wilde, “Emma.” is in theaters now.
ALBUM OF THE WEEK: “The Slow Rush” by Tame Impala Fi ve ye a r s a f t er “Cu r rent s ,” Tame Impala has at last released a new album. Titled “The Slow Rush,” the album has 12 tracks, each one cont r ibut i ng to t he specific alternative style Kevin Parker, aka Tame Impala, seems to stick to. Tame Impala’s most well-k nown song, “The Less I Know the Better,” from the album “Currents,” is arguably popular for its infectious beat and bass; this allure is still present in “The Slow Rush” and stays on-brand with the kind of music the artist is known for.
SONG OF THE WEEK: “After Hours” by The Weeknd The bloody-faced album cover of The Weeknd’s new single, “After Hours,” might lead fans to expect something entirely different than what they will actually get. What they will hear is a subdued dance beat paired with ethereal sounding vocals. As he sings “baby, where are you now when I need you most,” it becomes clear that The Weeknd is once again singing about troubled love, a theme he visits in songs such as “Call Out My Name” and “Twenty Eight.” “After Hours” is t he newest release f rom an upcoming album of the same title, which is set to be released March 20.

Columbia Museum of Art hosts ‘It’s Alive!’ Exhibit STEPHEN PASTIS Arts & Culture Writer
Fear, in all of its forms in popular culture, has come to the Columbia Museum of Arts in an unexpected way: as a collection of terror.

The CMA has attempted to capture fear’s pop culture presence in their collection of movie posters, costumes, artifacts, guitars and more. “A r t museu ms ser ve as safe spaces to ex perience the uncommon and examine different forms of creative expression,” Adams. “Like t he f ilms t hey represent, these posters illustrate our societal fears and tap into our physiological response to fear through a beautifully a r t ist ic la ng u age t h at is unique yet still connected to the long arc of history.” “ T h e C a b i n e t o f D r.

Miami band The Hails starts debut tour at The White Mule in Columbia NATALIE HUNT Arts & Culture Writer
Hitting the road for the first time, The Hails’ first tour stop is none other than Columbia on March 5. The month-long, 11-stop tour will be the band’s debut out of college. The five-member band formed in Gainesville at the University of Florida. After graduating in 2019, the band settled down to record in Miami and plan its next move. Coming together over a common love for alternative rock and groove-oriented pop, The Hails bring out dance moves and youthfulness with its sound. “We wanted to get a taste of life on the road and play some shows in cities that we’ve never been to and lay the groundwork for the near future,” lead singer Robbie Kingsley said. Having never hit the East Coast, this tour is an opportunity to introduce the band’s music to new crowds. “It’ll be cool to see what it feels like — how people respond in other cities,” Franco Solari, guitarist and backup singer, said.“Expect to have fun. Maybe expect to be opened up to something.” According to Kingsley, the band aims to help people through formative years and not divert to what artists have done in the past. He said he thinks it’s important to bring youthfulness to music and have the band’s lyrics answer the life long question of humanity: Am I old, or am I young? Synching five different musical talents highlights their ability to creatively cooperate and put together a piece of work that represents them as individuals and a whole. “Everyone pulls in their own way, at some point, when they touch the songs, and it’s that tension that lifts us up to the sound we have now,” Solari said. The group’s month-long journey will kick off at The White Mule and stretch from Florida to New Jersey. This venue will give the audience a chance to get a feel for the reflection and nostalgia in the lyrics of songs such as “Stay” and “Younger.” “The building that The White Mule is in now was the old speakeasy, so it used to be a jazz club,” said Claire O’Connor, fourth-year public relations student at USC and head of marketing and promotions for The White Mule. “We’ve got an open floor, but we also have seating. We have a really cool bar area. It’s off the beaten path in Five Points, a little bit, so depending on the show, it can be a really intimate listening room, or we can open it up, and it can be a really cool small rock club.” The Miami-based band will play at 8 p.m. March 5 at The White Mule.

Hammett, No. 11 of Rolling Stone’s top 100 guitarists, has been collecting these items for many years, dedicating three decades to finding “visually arresting horror and sci-fi film” pieces for his collection, according to a press release. “The stuff of horror has a mojo that always works on me. I start producing ideas. They just flow like liquid,” Hammett said in a press release. Organized by the Peabody Essex Museum, the internationally touring exhibit is ending its run at the CMA with its 135 works from 20th century cinema, such as posters by a variety of domestic and international designers, memorabilia, electric guitars, film props, costumes and rare works. “My collection takes me to a place where I need to be,” Hammett said in a press release. “Among the monsters, where I’m most comfortable and most creative.” Wit h an array of programming, such as a film showing, writing workshops, mask making, partnering with the Nickelodeon for a silent film showing and an appearance by Hammett himself, this exhibit explores the cultural significance and scientific underpinning of horror and sci-fi films. One part of the exhibit includes an interactive guitar experience, where visitors can play one of two custom replica guitars that Hammett toured with in the ‘80s. “There’s people coming in and out. Some people are big g u itarist s or huge Metallica fans,” Josh Blibaum, a second-year sports and entertainment management student, said. “Some people are 75-year-old men from Sumter, South Carolina … I’ve had a 2-year-old get up there and play guitar.” CMA will continue to showcase “It’s Alive!” through May 17.

Five former Gamecocks invited to NFL Combine
GRAPHIC BY EMILY STRAWN // THE GAMECOCK
TAYLOR BELTZ Sports Writer With the NFL Draft right around the corner, 337 prospects were invited to I ndianapolis to perform in t he NFL scouting combine in hopes of impressing teams before the draft on April, 23. A mong t hose 337 N FL hopefuls are five former Gamecocks; Javon K inlaw, Br yan Edwards, D.J Wonnum, Rico Dowdle and Joseph Charlton. Each player will perform in a set of workouts based on their position and a series of interviews with the scouts, coaches and the media. Teams use this process to gauge which players fit the best on their rosters. The events take place from Sunday, Feb. 23 to Sunday, March 1, with position specific workouts being broadcasted starting Thursday, Feb. 27 on the NFL app and ESPN. Bryan Edwards Bryan Edwards, a 6’3” wide receiver from Conway S.C.,was set to perform in the receiver workout on Feb. 27 when he suffered from a broken foot while training. Edwards did however participate in other combine events such as meeting with teams, doing media interviews and going through medical examinations. Edwards was voted to Coaches’ second- team All-SEC and was invited to the Reese’s Senior Bowl but sat out due to a knee injury. A nalysts have been impressed with his consistent productivity during his college career but say he needs to work on using size on 50/50 throws and improve his route-running.
Rico Dowdle Rico Dowdle is a 5’11” running back from Asheville N.C. who performed in the 40-yard dash, vertical jump, and broad jump at the combine but did not participate in any media interviews;
40-yard Dash: 4.54 seconds Vertical Jump: 38 inches Broad Jump: 127 inches Dowdle finished with an athleticism score of 92, which was t he second highest among running backs who p a r t ic ip at e d . D owd le’s s i z e a nd toughness have been strengths when looking at his college career at USC but analysts are concerned about his fumble rate and technique during pass protection. D.J Wonnum D.J. Wonnum is a 6’5” defensive end from Stone Mountain, Ga. who performed in six events at his workout; the 40-yard dash, bench press, vertical jump, broad jump, 3 cone drill and the 20 yard shuffle.
40-yard Dash: 4.73 seconds Bench Press: 20 reps Vertical Jump: 34.5 inches Broad Jump: 123 inches 3 Cone Drill: 7.25 seconds 20 Yard Shuffle: 4.44 seconds Wonnum was selected second AllSEC and played in the Reese’s Senior Bowl after his senior season. He was also named permanent team captain as a sophomore. NFL analysts were impressed with his abilit y to create
pressure on a secondary rush effort but are worried about his limited play speed and range. Javon Kinlaw Javon Kinlaw, a 6’5” defensive tackle from Charleston S.C., participated in all combine events except for the workout on Saturday, Fed. 29, due to a small knee injury. Kinlaw was voted first team All American by Associated Press and first-team All-SEC by coaches. He was also invited to the Reese’s Senior Bowl following his senior season at USC. While NFL Analysts were impressed by his tape, t hey noted t hat t here were still inconsistencies. Toughness, versatility in scheme and an explosive first step round out his strengths on the field while scouts feel that he needs to work on his control and technique. Joseph Charlton Joseph Charlton, a redshirt senior pu nter f rom Colu mbia, S.C ., was measured at 6’4” and 195 pounds but did not participate in any other events at the combine. Charlton was second team all- SEC and received multiple awards during his time at USC including the Jim Carlen Award and Most Productive Player for special teams. He averaged 47.7 yards per punt during his senior season, which was the third best in the country and beats the school record for single season yards, which he also set, by three yards. Scouts and analysts have been impressed with his touchback percentage and his average yards per punt but are worried about his inconsistencies, according to his draft profile. These players and more w ill be performing one more time before the draft at Gamecock Pro Timing Day on March 19.
Former Gamecock Hayden Hurst opens up about depression while at UofSC BRYCE JACQUOT Sports Writer Baltimore Ravens tight end Hayden Hurst opened up last week about his depression and how it led to his suicide attempt four years ago while he was a student at South Carolina. During Hurst’s junior year as a Gamecock, he played all 13 games and caught 44 passes for over 559 yards, eventually leading to his unanimous selection to the 2017 All-SEC football team. Hurst told First Coast News in an interview that he woke up in the hospital on the night he attempted suicide. “I didn’t know what happened. I had to have a friend fill me in. Apparently, I had been drinking and went into my
apartment and cut my wrist. My friend found me in a puddle of blood. He called 911,” Hurst said. Hurst admitted to drinking heavily at a bar in Columbia, ingesting pills and inevitably blacking out, ending up on the steps of his apartment complex. When he finally woke up, he discovered that he was chained to a hospital bed. Hurst was then confined to the hospital under a 72-hour period of observation. Hurst describes this feeling to ESPN as his “come to Jesus moment.” Originally a star baseball player from The Bolles School in Jacksonville, Florida, Hurst was draf ted by t he Pittsburgh Pirates in 2013 and was looked at as a future Major League star. However, Hurst’s battle with depression and anxiety led to the deterioration of his performance.

Five things Will Muschamp said Gamecock football needs to improve on this spring FAITH WORRELL Senior Sports Writer
Gamecock football head coach Will Muschamp opened the press conference Feb. 25 by expressing his satisfaction with the offseason. Muschamp said that while there is still work to be done, ma ny i mprovement s h ave b een made. “Installing an offense and then some changes defensively and on special teams. So, I’ve been pleased with the progress in all three areas to this point,” Muschamp said. “During this time, we spend a lot of time on analy tics, qua l it y cont rol, what a re things we need to improve on, which there’s obviously, after a disappointing fall, a lot.” This offseason has included sig n if ica nt coach ing staf f changes to the South Carolina program. Mike Bobo was hired as the offensive coordinator as Bryan McClendon was moved to wide receivers coach. The final change was Rod Wilson, Super Bowl champion a nd f or me r K a n s a s C it y Chief, who was hired as the linebackers coach to complete the Gamecocks staff. Muschamp said coaching changes are a part of football, and according to Muschamp, the team is ready to adapt and work with an all new staff. “We’re pleased wit h t he st af f, always look at st af f
changes as an opportunity to grow, an opportunity to i mprove a nd get bet ter,” Muschamp said. Five areas to improve A f t e r t h e 4 - 8 2 019 season, Muschamp said the Gamecocks are look ing to improve in multiple areas. First is w inning t he turnover margin on defense. Mu scha mp sa id he wa nt s his defense to create more opportunities for the offense. Last year, Gamecocks won t he t urnover rat io against opponent s f ive t imes a nd won four of those five games. South Carolina lost all seven g a me s t h at t he y lo st t he turnover margin in. The second is increasing the explosive play ratio on offense. Muschamp and the Gamecocks are look ing to average more 10-yard runs or 20-yard passes in the 2020 season. Muschamp is also looking to focus on winning the field posit ion bat t le. He wa nt s special teams to create more short fields for the offense and more long fields for the defense. Lastly, South Carolina is looking to finish better in the red zone. The goal is to score 100% of the time in the red zone with at least 75% of those scores being touchdowns. On the defensive side of the ball, Muschamp aims to hold teams to scoring field goals at least 60% in the red zone. When it comes to overall

South Carolina’s club lacrosse team shakes hands with Michigan State after the game Feb. 29. The Gamecocks won 12-9. FROM LACROSSE PAGE 1
I think we’re doing a pretty good job as a team of weathering those challenges and learning from them. So, hopefully we are still building, and we haven’t yet seen our best product, and we’ll be putting that together towards the end of the season ‘cause that’s my hope,” head coach James Harkey said. The Gamecocks had the closest match-up of the season in Tallahassee with Florida State with a 14-12 win. Harkey said the Seminole crowd was “rowdy.” “That was the first time this year that we’d gone against that kind of mental adversity in the setting of the game, and I thought we handled it well,” Harkey said. “I’m proud of our guys for rising to the challenge ... Every game gives us an opportunity to get better.” Harkey said the team is “very fortunate” to have junior Derek Isaac. Isaac leads the Gamecock club lacrosse in face-offs with 147-44. Harkey said that Issac has “been a big part” of the
on-field chemistry. “Derek Issac probably doesn’t get the amount of recognition generally that he deserves, just a phenomenal job that he’s done in the last three years,” Harkey said. “He’s been controlling possession all year and that allows us, certainly, the luxury of being able to play on offense a lot more than defense.” The team had to replace former MCLA Player of the Year Colin Hains at the beginning of the season who graduated in 2019. Harkey said in the preseason that junior Matt Butler could potentially replace Hains at the goalie position, but there was competition for the starting spot. Through their first seven games, junior goalie Liam Peck made 79 saves, and Butler made 16. According to Harkey, Butler has done a good job communicating on the field and said “communication is crucial on defense,” but Peck has an “uncanny ability to make a save and everybody looks around like, ‘how did he do that?’” Senior midfielder Jordan Hummel has made 10 goals, three assists and 13 points in the first nine games.
“[Hummel] has been a guy that’s contributed the last couple of years, but maybe not shown up on the stat sheet as much and he’s, he’s doing a great job, early in this season,” Harkey said. Junior attack Quinten Green has made 14 goals, 10 assists and 24 points in the first nine games. “Q has been having a great season, and, you know, he hasn’t gotten a heck of a lot of time the last two years up until this year he’s doing a good job in his role,” Harkey said. However, Green’s 14 goals are 14 behind team leader junior attack Sam Weis’ goals, who has totaled 28 this season. “[Weis’] statistics are coming from, as a byproduct of being a good leader, and he helps direct our offense, that enables him to get shots that he likes to see,” Harkey said. The Gamecocks club lacrosse team is currently No. 1 in the MCLA poll. The team’s next games will be March 6 and 7 in Atlanta, Georgia, where they will take on Georgia Tech and New Hampshire.

“ It me a n s a lot w he n p e ople appreciate you, not just for your hard work ethic but, most of all, for who you are and what you bring to the table.” D e s pit e h i s l i v i n g s it u at io n , Colema n said he has stayed appreciat ive for what he and his mother still have. “It could be way worse for us. We really can be homeless. You know, we are homeless technically, but we could be really homeless, on t he street,” Coleman said. “A lot of people are, so I’m not gonna complain about that because I know it could be beyond worse.” Caldaroni said after he got more involved with helping Coleman, he and a group of students, including Braz, went to see t he damage to Coleman’s home. “It was honestly heartbreaking, just seeing it,” Braz said. “The structure is still there and everything, but it’s just so beyond damaged. Everything was charred. He was like, ‘This is my room,’ and it was just this empty black space, and it was really sad to see.”
T h r o u g h o u t l a s t s e m e s t e r, Caldaroni, Braz and a few ot her s t ude nt s f r o m D e lt a Si g m a P i business fraternity worked on the G oFu nd Me c a mp a ig n , g e t t i n g quotes from contractors and creating t he c a mp a ig n v ide o. W it h t he GoFundMe launched, they’ve been reaching out to the Darla Moore School of Business and other student organizations to raise awareness. “We just thought it’s kind of our job to make the most of our time here, and making the most of our time is making other people’s lives better,” Caldaroni said. Braz said while they were making the video, Coleman maintained his humble and appreciative attitude. “He would follow up whatever he said with, ‘Just k now that I don’t take donations for granted. Like, I u nderst a nd t h is is you r ha rdworking money,’ and it really meant the world to him that students would recognize him,” Braz said. Coleman credited his attitude to God, his mother and his two late sisters. “They helped instill in me and show t he example t hat you t reat ever ybody how you wa n na be treated,” Coleman said.

“I didn’t know what t he hell was going on,” Hurst said in an interview with Florida Headline News Radio ( F H N ). “I st a r ted getting sweat y palms, wanting to throw up, didn’t want to be on the field. Pretty much panic attacks.” He became lost on the pitcher’s mound, and his professional career as a pitcher lasted all of one-third of one inning, walking five batters. It was during these nights as a struggling pitcher t hat Hu rst started drinking heavily and mixing drugs with the alcohol. He would often take Xanax and whiskey together to stop the pain of being what he considered a failure. “ T he g o a l w a s t o just get blacked out,” Hurst told ESPN in an interview.

These panic attacks led Hu rst to qu it baseball and to walk on to the football team at the University of South Carolina. Unfortunately, he later came to realize that this was not the end of his depression and anxiety, and it led to him waking up in that South Carolina hospital, cuffed to the bed. It was at that moment that Hurst figured out that he needed to ask for help, and he got it. “If I had a gun that night, I probably would h ave k i l led my sel f,” Hurst said in an interview with TimesUnion. “I’m glad I only had a k nife. It’d be a totally different story.” The A n x iet y a nd Depression Association of A merica says t hat “anxiety disorders are t he most common mental illness in t he U.S. ... [affecting] 18.1% o f t h e p o p u l at io n .” They are also “highly
treatable, yet only 36.9% of those suffering receive treatment.” Sa ra h Nol l, Sout h C a r o l i n a’s s p o r t s wellness coordinator for the athletics department, discussed her role and working with students and staff with mental illness concerns. “If coaches or support staff feel like a st udent-athlete needs individual counseling or medications, it will be funneled through me, where I will be making assessments, providing refer r a l s , i nd iv idu a l therapy, and educational seminars for groups to get t hem where t hey need to be,” Noll said.

Choose to vacation at beaches in South Carolina ALI FRICK Opinion Writer
W h i le t he E a s t C o a s t of fers bot h mou nt a i ns a nd beache s for a l l you r vacationing needs, going to the beach for spring break is a classic trip that provides st udent s w it h l ifelong memories and a variet y of great opportunities. Though t here a re ma ny d if ferent options for beach vacations i n S o u t h C a r ol i n a , t wo beaches near Columbia that st udent s shou ld consider visiting are Folly Beach and Myrtle Beach. Folly Beach is roughly a 2 hour drive and has many p erk s to v i s it i n g. It h a s some of the best surfing and
waves in South Carolina and will not disappoint. Folly Beach is a great place to go swimming and surfing, and it is also close to Historic Charleston, wh ich is not only beaut if ul but f ull of rich and enticing history. With great kayaking and sailing locations, Folly Beach has many opportunities to take great pictures. It offers hotels and inns at different price ranges, giving college st udents vacat ioning on a budget a w ide va r iet y of different options to choose from. Myrtle Beach is about 2 hours and 30 minutes away from USC, but it’s totally w o r t h it . M y r t le B e a c h offers 60 miles of beautiful
coast l i ne a nd is home to the largest Sk y W heel on the East Coast, offering the highest views of the Atlantic Ocean. Myrtle Beach is a fantastic place to go s w i m m i ng, sightseeing and immersing oneself in extensive nightlife. There are many shops and restaurants open late in the Myrtle Beach area. Myrtle Beach offers many places to ex plore, one of which is the Boardwalk. The Myrtle Beach Boardwalk is along the edges of the sand and features different types of touristy shops and small restaurants. Along with great shopping, eat ing and sw im m ing opportunities, Myrtle Beach
ha s a n ex ten sive golf i ng c o m mu n it y. T he G r a nd Strand is a place for students to go when t hey wa nt to take a break from the sand and salty water in favor of pr ac t ic i n g t hei r g ol f i n g skills. W hen deciding between going to the beach or visiting a mountain during spring break, there are a few things that make the beach just a little bit better. Columbia has been experiencing some freezing days for the past few weeks, so going to the beach would give students a break from the cold and a preview of warmer spring temperat u res. The beach also offers a wider variet y of shops, restaurants and
ot her gener a l n ight l ife opportunities. With midterm exams and long essays coming up just before st udent s leave for brea k , clea r i ng away t he mental clutter left behind is a necessity. Going to the beach for spring break with friends or family is a good w ay to de s t re s s tow a rd s t he m idd le of t he spr i ng semester. Swimming in the salt y water, sunbathing in the sand and visiting local shops and restaurants are all calming activities that can be therapeutic. The beaches along t he coasts of Sout h Carolina also offer beautiful sunrises and sunsets over the Atlantic Ocean.
Choose Blue Ridge mountains for spring break ILLUSTRATION BY KATE BENN // THE GAMECOCK
MEREDITH EDWARDS Opinion Writer
If you are getting together your last minute plans for spring break, the nearby mountains are not only beautiful but also a great place to get out into nature, shop artisanal a nd h istor ica l souven irs or just d iscon nec t a nd rela x. Consider opting out of the typical spring break beach trip in favor of a vacation to the Blue Ridge. A ccord i ng to t he Br it a n n ic a, the Blue Ridge is a section of the Appalachian Mountains that runs through Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia, including peaks such as Grandfather Mountain and Sassafras Mountain. Named for the blue hue that colors the mountains from a distance, the Blue R idge plays host to various overlooks, waterfalls and lakes. Robin Jarvis’ post “11 Places to visit in South Carolina When The Mountains Are Calling Your Name,” on the website Only in Your State, lists Falling Waters Scenic Byway, Caesar’s Head State Park, Devil’s Fork State Park and Jones Gap State Park for their beautiful views and
scenic mountain waterways you can’t find in low country South Carolina. The Blue R idge mountains are home to many g reat h ik ing and b i k i n g t r a i l s , w h ic h no r m a l l y culm inate in an overlook where v isitor s c a n ref lec t on how f a r they’ve come and admire the view. These unparalleled views are unique to each perspective you look from, whereas look ing at t he sea on a beach trip is much the same from any direction you look at it. Travis Hall’s post “6 Must-Do Hikes in the South Carolina Upcountry” on Blue R idge Outdoors highlights some trails with absolutely picturesque overlooks and waterfalls. The Blue Ridge mountains play host to various artisans and their shops if you are looking to admire woodworking, art or antiques. The Blue Ridge Travel Guide’s list of shops includes a good mix of rustic artisanal products, specialty repair shops and souvenir and gift shops, which give an altogether quaint, but rugged, small town vibe. Many of t hese towns also have various artisanal restaurants and breweries. For those of age and willing to go the extra mile, Asheville, North
Carolina, is called the “The Brewery Capital of America” by the Travel Pulse website. The article talks about “The Downtown Brewery Triangle,” where there are 10 breweries within walking distance that cater to a wide variety of tastes, both in beer and in atmosphere. The Blue R idge’s rich h istor y heavily informs its art scene. The communities there were created by people who were willing to build their lives away from the creature comforts shipped in from England. Their imaginative, strong-willed spirit remains in the region. The Blue R id g e Nat io n a l Her it a g e website lists 18 galleries, including the Asheville Art Museum and the Stecoah Valley Cultural Arts Center, that display the proud traditions and artistry of the region. To m e , t h e m o u nt a i n s h a v e a lways been nost a lg ic, peacef u l and inspiring. I remember going up t here as a k id in t he summer with my family. We would listen to an audiobook on the way up and just take a weekend to disconnect from our busy lives and visit family members. W henever we went to the beach, we seemed to be rushing
around, but when we v isited t he mountains, we got to relax and spend time together without a lot of extra distractions. Since cell phone signals can be spott y in the mountains, visitors can take the opportunity to turn off their phones, find an isolated spot and really engage with their friends and the environment around them without the normal distractions. Where crowds are almost ubiquitous at the beach, the mountains are the best place to find a peaceful retreat. For college students who are just getting off studying for exams and writing discussion posts, taking a trip to the mountains is the perfect opportunity to read that book you’ve been holding onto for the longest t i me, or sketch or do whatever you’ve been passionate about doing but haven’t had the time to do in Columbia. T he mou nt a i n s of Sout h a nd North Carolina are a great place for college students to escape the constant busyness of student life while embracing nature and history.

Column: University Housing needs to communicate with residents
Both University Housing and campus residents would benefit if a means of communicat ion between them was more readily accessible. As a resident of Capstone, I’m inev itably aware of t he many grievances residents hold about Gavin Cuff t he bu i ld i ng, a nd I g ot t he First-year chance to talk to a few about journalism how they felt. student Floor 5 resident Max Murphy mentioned issues with Capstone’s elevators. “I’ve hit the basement button, and it accidentally called the fire department. I had to tell them on the intercom that it wasn’t an issue,” Murphy said. Floor 15 resident Sara Lindstrom recalled mold growing on her floor. “Someone had to move out from my f loor because he was so sick from the mold,” Lindstrom said. “Both my roommate and I invested in an air purifier because of the moldy air.” Experiencing these issues on a daily basis is a major source of frustration among residents of Capstone and other on-campus residences, and it’s easy to aim that frustration at Universit y Housing. However, it’s in the best interest of residents to direct that frustration elsewhere because University Housing has a lot more to manage than it seems. Jo s h W i s e , d i re c tor of c om mu n ic at ion s marketing with University Housing, discussed how d i f f ic u lt t he pro c e s s of u nder t a k i n g renovations is. Residents don’t know the half of it — even re-flooring and re-painting a residence hall is a process that can take an entire summer to complete, as it did for Columbia Hall and Capstone just a few years ago. It’s not reasonable to expect that a certain residence will be prioritized at a given time because the truth is that University Housing has a university’s worth of housing to manage. It’s not so simple that housing can fix Capstone whenever. Wise referenced a “master plan” that dictates roughly when planned projects are to take place, and some are prioritized based on a number of factors. For example, Wise said development of the new Campus Village site is currently being allocated more resources than other plans due to the logistics, finances and the size of the project. There is a lot more that goes into renovations than some think. Wise said although housing wishes it could get to everything at once, it’s simply not possible. “We’re committed to providing a good living

environment, and we truly are working to do that,” Wise said. “We’re gonna get in there and work on [Capstone]. We want people to have a good quality of life. We don’t want anyone to be miserable.” Wise’s sentiment about Capstone certainly carries t h rough for t he rest of t he campus residences, and it displays just how devoted University Housing is to providing a great living experience – now, it’s only a matter of convincing residents to believe it. If University Housing and campus residents could communicate more clearly about resident needs and housing priorities, both parties would benefit. Residents could stop assuming negligence on the part of housing, and housing could have more informat ion f rom residents for use in prioritizing renovation projects. If residents knew when University Housing plans to address t heir concerns, t hey would gain some peace of mind. Housing posts certain project announcements on both their website and
ALYSSA RASP // THE GAMECOCK
social media, but if a system were implemented so that greater detail could be shared directly to residents via email, the announcements would reach a much larger share of campus residents than before. Sh a r i n g t he r o ad m ap of pr oje c t s w it h residents would ease their concerns. Additionally, Un iversit y Housing could f u rt her promote or expand upon its yearly satisfaction survey, which Wise said is aimed at addressing the issues residents have with their living situation. At the end of the day, everyone’s intentions are the same – all parties only want a better living experience for the students of USC. Better communication is a simple way of achieving this goal. If you have grievances about your residence, rest assured that they’ll be addressed – it’s just a matter of when. With any luck, residents and University Housing can work together to start keeping all parties informed, satisfied and on the same page.
