Pat r ic ia Mo ore -Pa s t ide s lo ok s out onto USC’s historic Horseshoe through the second-floor window of the President’s House, the place she’s called home for the past 10 years. It’s a sunny, chilly day with a few students relaxing in the grass and many rushing on the brick pathways to class.

She said living on campus makes her feel more connected to students, and she recalled stories from over the years on the Horseshoe — from snowball fights to March Madness.

When USC men’s basketball defeated Duke two years ago, Moore-Pastides went to bed and heard what she said sounded like elephants running in between Rutledge and the President’s House.

“They were so excited, there was probably like 400 students out there and then they started chanting ‘cancel classes,’” she said. “So I called Harris a nd said, ‘ You bet ter come home because the students are out there and

i hope that when people REMEMBER me, they will remember me for promoting those positive lifestyles that contribute to good health.

Creativibe aims to inspire students through innovation MADDOX GREENE @MaddoxGrace__ When thinking about creativity, images of dance performances or art shows may come to mind.

However, USC’s first Creativibe event aims to educate students, faculty and staff about the allencompassing nature of creativity in its many forms.

The creators of Creat iv ibe de s c r ib e t he e ve nt a s “p a r t festival, part competition, part think tank.” The event stems from USCreativity, a university initiative to celebrate creativity.

they’re excited.’”

Next to the room Moore-Pastides is standing in near the stairwell is a chair that was bought for then-pope, St. John Paul II, for his 1987 USC visit.

The chair has eagles on it, symbols of Poland, John Paul’s home country.

John Paul was visiting for a Christian ecumenical council and students had to leave the Horseshoe for security reasons. Students who lived there made shirts that said, “I was moved by the pope.”

“The interesting thing about that is that he got canonized and became a saint in 2014,” Moore-Pastides said.

“So now this is a second order relic in the Catholic Church because it held the pope’s body when he was here.”

But for the sake of her students, the first lady had a way of giving that relic some personal charm of her own.

“I used to let the students just plop down in it but it started to tear, the fabric is so old,” Moore-Pastides said about the chair.

Members of a new sororit y chapter are looking to help Asian-American students find not only sisterhood but cultural connections and an identity at USC. Alpha Sigma Rho is a national Asian-interest sorority founded at the University of Georgia in 1998. Since its beginning, eight chapters in five other states have been chartered.

When the Theta chapter of Alpha Sigma Rho was chartered at USC in November, it became the university’s first and only Asianinterest sorority. This semester is the chapter’s first active semester at USC. Ashli Mohammad, a second-year accounting student and one of the nine current sisters in Alpha Sigma Rho, said she hopes the sorority will grow as they continue recruiting at the beginning of the semesters.

“Even t hough we’re st i l l st a r t i ng of f and we’re still pretty small, we’re a pretty good g roup of ver y st rong women who are determined to make an impact on the USC communit y and show who we are,” Mohammad said.

Deanne Manuela, a fourth-year exercise science st udent who current ly ser ves on the executive board of the sorority, said the emphasis on academic excellence and Asian awareness drew her to Alpha Sigma Rho. “Ac adem ic excel lence bec au se I a m a student, so that’s always gonna come first, but not only that, but Asian awareness because I already feel really strongly about women’s r ight s a nd c u lt u ra l r ight s a nd c u lt u ra l diversity and stuff like that,” Manuela said. “It was really important for me to want to spread that growing when I pledged.”

T he most prom i nent pi l la r of t he sisterhood is its strength in unity, Manuela said. Manuela believes this is particularly important for Asian-Americans, especially at a predominately white institution such as USC. “Because you are a minority, sometimes you do feel small, and you do feel like you can’t be yourself or you lose a piece of you when you leave home and you give yourself to this school,” Manuela said. “A sisterhood is so much different, because you feel stronger bonds with these girls that you would be friends with anyway.”

Brayleen-Dee Cepeda, a f irst-year art studio student and sister in the sorority, said she believes the sorority’s sisterhood brings minority students together. “ We’r e v e r y m u c h i nt o s i s t e r h o o d , strengthening the community and cultural diversity and inclusion,” Cepeda said. “It’s a good way to get minorities together, especially if people might feel isolated in a predominately white campus.”

Moving forward, members of the chapter say t hey ’re hopi ng to ser ve a nd engage the USC communit y while growing their sorority’s membership and impact.

“I look for ward to t he g row t h of t h is organization and the awareness that we’re gonna spread and the impact that we can make on college lives,” Manuela said. “I’m hoping that we can have a lot of sisters in the future,” Manuela said.

Creativibe will include workshops, performances and inspiration talks, all free and open to the public.

David Cutler, director of USCreat iv it y a nd Creat iv ibe, sa id t he thought process behind this event was the desire t o t a k e a l l a s p e c t s of creativity across campus and bring them together for students who may not k now where exact ly to find them.

“One of the best things about being in a conference of a university, l i ke t he Un iver sit y of South Carolina, is there are so many dang smart people a nd so ma ny resources and so many oppor t u n it ies,” Cut ler said. “Yet, t he irony is t hat — pa r t ly because of it s siz e — m a ny of us never experience the greatest t hing about it and we get stuck in our bubble, or in our silo, and so we often don’t k now what’s going across the hallway, let alone across t he st reet or across campus.”

Cut ler also said t hat Creativibe will express the importance of generat i ng idea s a nd bringing students out of their bubble of academic study.

“Innovat ion is rarely ab out j u s t c om i n g up with an idea out of thin air, but it usually involves taking an idea from one pl ac e a nd ap pl y i n g it somewhere else — but how can you ever get a fresh idea if you don’t go any where else?” Cutler said. “So we have a major, and our world is around that major, and it’s hard to see out side of t h at c u lt u re bec au se t hat ’s where we’re centered.”

The four main parts of

the event are inspiration talks, workshops, performances and ex hibits, consist ing of over 100 expressions of c reat iv it y f rom d a nce performances to standup comedy to discussions on topic s l i ke how to become a m i l l iona i re.

Additionally, participants will have the chance to win a $100 gift certificate after collecting stickers f rom each pa r t of t he event.

Eugene Suydam, a t h i rd -y e a r e c o no m ic s student, is the work shop coord i nator for Creat iv ibe. He said work shops w ill present visitors with the o p p o r t u n it y t o le a r n how to do new things — Chinese calligraphy or latte art to name a couple.

The workshops are each 15 m inutes, beg in ning every five minutes, and come with a catch — the topic is unk nown unt il t he work s hop b eg i n s .

Cutler said people tend to lean toward what they a l read y k now b ec au se t h e y ’r e c o m f o r t a b l e t her e , but t a k i n g out t he element of choice could lead to unexpected interests.

“By taking out choice, you may just accidentally be forced into something that you absolutely love — and if you don’t like it, it’s only 15 minutes long,” Cutler said.

Ryker will also bring projec t s completed by some of her students last semester after she asked them to find ways to tie t og et her g e olog y a nd art. She said she believes t hat Creat iv ibe can be b e nef ic i a l f or f ac u lt y a nd st af f too, not just students.

“One of t he really e xc it i n g t h i n g s ab out Creat iv ibe is lea r n i ng about ways that facult y a nd i nst r uctors across campus are already i ncor porat i ng t he ar t s and creative explorations i n d i f f e r e nt c l a s s e s ,” R y k e r s a id . “ B e c au s e I think it’s inspiring to get to see that and think, ‘Well, I could do t hat, too.’”

Sabrina Habib, a professor in the School of Journalism and Mass C o m mu n ic at io n s a nd t he a s s i s t a nt d i re c tor of Creat iv ibe, said one goal is to highlight the c reat iv it y t hat of ten occurs behind the scenes or is h idden on campus, particularly with research.

“Students and facult y and staff are used to seeing news and ach ievement s t hat a re research-oriented, but we often overlook just how much creativity goes into making the research, how much creativit y goes in innovation happening on campus,” Habib said.

Keator sees Creativibe a s a n o p p o r t u n it y t o educate t he public about aphasia, a speech d i s order t h at r e nder s speech comprehension or production difficult.

Aphasia is caused by a brain injury that is most commonly brought on by stroke, and Keator says this awareness is muchneeded because st roke a n d s t r o k e m o r t a l it y rates are particularly high i n t he Sout h Ca rol i na Midlands area.

Habib also said C re at i v ib e’s t r ue i ntent ion is to i nspi re and expose people to new experiences..

“Usually those ex periences tend to elevate your own desire to create, so we’re hoping w it h t hat st r uct u re — that unique structure — we’re hoping to provide an experience that will inspire,” Habib said.

The interactions she’s had and memories she’s made with students a re wh at Mo ore -Pa st ide s s a id she’ll miss the most. For her 2017 book, “At Home in the Heart of the Horseshoe,” she talked to past university presidents, first ladies and alumni. This way, she said she was able to get an understanding of what life was like over the years in the President’s House from other perspectives than her own.

In the 1950s, first lady Virginia Russell — as in the Russell House namesake — would inv ite each fourth-year student over to dinner in the President’s House back yard before t hei r g raduat ion. Si nce USC’s undergraduate population has grown throughout the years, Moore-Pastides said she has tried to continue this tradition by inviting different organizations over, like the band or sports teams.

She also mentioned how students under the Russell presidency, now in their 80s, still remember specific things like how Virginia Russell dressed. After talking to different first ladies, she said she understands how their legacies live on at USC, and she hopes to be remembered not necessarily for how she dresses, but for how she lives.

“I hope t hat when people remember me, they will remember me for promoting those positive lifestyles that contribute to good health,” she said. “So, whether that is caring about our mental health, whether that’s eating right, whether it’s exercising, meditating, for taking the time to pay attention to our spiritual selves. I hope that somehow my legacy will be in that area.”

Moore-Pastides is involved with a lot on campus, but her passion lies in public health. She has a master’s degree in public health from Yale University, worked as county health supervisor for DHEC and worked with the South Carolina Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. Prior to Harris Pastides’ presidency, he served as dean of the Arnold School of Public Health. Because of this, Moore-Pastides said her transition

into creating health and wellness initiatives on campus as first lady was smooth.

The first thing Moore-Pastides did as f irst lady was work w it h Healthy Carolina. When Healthy Carolina’s Farmers Market began, Moore-Pastides was the one to cut the ribbon.

Around the time of the Farmers M a rket st a r t i ng, she wa s a l so creat i ng t he orga n ic veget able garden at the President’s House. “ W hen we’ve had enough vegetables to give away, like in the summer, we bring the vegetables right out there and let people take some, and usually we have recipes that show what you can do with them,” she said.

One of her proudest accomplishments was cutting the ribbons for lactat ion rooms on campus where people ret urning from maternity leave have a place to breastfeed on campus.

A l o n g w it h h e r h e a lt h a n d wellness initiatives she’s involved, Mo ore -Pa s t ide s i s a n adj u nc t facult y member in t he College of Hospitalit y, Retail and Sport Management where she teaches the course Healthy Mediterranean Cooking. Through this class, she said she’s able to pass on her passion for healthy eating habits as well as her love for Mediterranean food she’s gained after several trips to Greece with her husband.

Moore-Pastides joked that when President Pastides was deciding on tak ing on t he role of USC’s president they almost got a divorce.

“I’m kidding of course,” she said.

President Pastides was offered t he pre s ident p o s it ion at t wo other universities: Universit y of Massachusetts Amherst and Georgia State University. However, MoorePastides said she urged her husband to take on t he posit ion at USC because of the existing first lady role.

“I had experienced — as the wife of a dean and the wife of a vice president — the graciousness of the first ladies that came before me and I really wanted the opportunity to fulfill that role at the University of South Carolina,” she said. “And I felt like the same role didn’t necessarily

exist at the other universities at that time.”

A not her rea son she sa id she wanted President Pastides to stay at USC was her own love for the university.

“I already had fallen in love with the culture,” Moore-Pastides said.

“I felt that it was one of the top-tier, major research universities in the country, and yet it had the culture of a smaller college that felt so friendly and nurturing.”

Ten years later, Moore-Pastides and her husband are leaving the university and looking forward to spending time with family. Her mot her is 89 years old and she promised she’d be there for her 90th birthday. Her family is scattered all over the U.S. And for the future spouse of the next university president? She hopes they’ll keep up with the vegetable garden.

“We had a rock ing good time with the vegetable garden because we grew what we wanted to serve at our events,” she said. “We grew vegetables that we wanted to bring to the farmer’s market or to make dishes out of for people to taste or to use in cooking classes which was really fun.”

However, she’s looking to make it more educational. She learned about t he Ca rol i na G old R ice Foundation that has identified and saved heirloom seeds from prior to 1850 that were either indigenous to South Carolina or brought over from West Africa through the slave trade.

“The next first couple, they’ll have their own interests and it may or may not include gardening,” she said. “But I think if this becomes a feature that other people besides just me can take an interest in on campus, then maybe it has a better opportunity of sustainability.”

Other than the vegetable garden, she said she hopes the next spouse of the president continues to entertain and connect with students.

“I really have a heart for our st udents,” Moore-Past ides said.

“And I want to go out trying to be as uplifting as possible to all our students, to have them recognize that they’re all worthy.”

Professor talks versatility of new medical humanities minor SYDNEY READ @sread2022

W hen Danielle Coriale was in high school, she excelled in science.

She went on to enter university as a premedical biochemistry student.

Today, she is a professor of literature helping pioneer a minor in medical humanities at USC. During her third year as a premed student, Coriale saw her brother study the human body in medical school. As she began to discover her love of literature through a poetry class, she realized that her brother’s path may not be the best fit for her.

From t h is point on she devoted herself to literature, but her medical perspective has always inf luenced her work.

“I had all these misgivings about practicality. At the end of the day, though, I have zero regrets,” Coriale said. “My brother, he does a service in the world, but I get to do both, you know what I mean? I don’t work with the body, but I work with the ideas involved in medicine ... it’s always been part of me, these questions about medicine, about science.”

Coriale was hired as an associate professor of Victorian literat ure and science at USC, and she began her career in the College of A rts and Sciences teaching classes on the Bronte sisters and other writers.

Soon, she bega n to i nclude her i ntere st s i n med ic a l sc ience i n the classroom and now teaches a contagion narrative class, combining questions of science and the arts.

“I get more satisfaction in some way s out of a cou rse l i ke t he contagion one,” Coriale said. “It’s something that I have deep roots caring about, which is about health and illness and how it manifests, but I would never actually want to study

how it manifests in the body. I’m more interested in how it manifests in bodies of literature.”

Coriale is currently teaching 35 students enrolled in her contagion literature course. Rachyl Jones, a second-year English student, spoke on how C or i a le’s t e ac h i n g h a s impacted her.

“I think the most interesting thing about her is how much she loves the study of disease. You don’t meet too many people who are intrigued with disease and death, but to her it is absolutely fascinating,” Jones said in an email. “Because of her class, I now see the fascinating parts of disease too: the social impact, the idea of beauty, masculinity and femininity associated with disease, etc.”

Third-year English student Dante Smith also attests to Coriale’s work building the contagion course and said he finds that her teaching has helped enhance his perspective.

“I feel what is most important about t he work is t hat when analyzed, it gives, as she puts it, ‘a fuller truth,’” Smith said in an email.

“We get the facts, the data, and we also get the interpretations of said events through survivor recountings, and it fleshes out the history of what really happened, but in doing so gives a richer understanding of the events surrounding the literature.”

In light of st udent interests in interdisciplinar y st udies such as literature and medicine, the College of Arts and Sciences has created a medical humanities minor to assist bot h science and mat h-oriented students and liberal arts students in a holistic approach to both fields.

The minor, which encompasses multiple fields of study, including philosophy, literature, anthropology and history, aims to give interested s t u d e nt s a n i nt e r d i s c ip l i n a r y approach to med ic i ne, Cor ia le said. Its creation process was led

by Cy nt h ia Dav is, assoc iate de a n for a r t s , hu m a n it ie s a nd com mu n icat ions, who gat hered together a board of faculty to discuss modernizing the curriculum of the College of Arts and Sciences. The results of this meeting included the idea of a medical humanities minor.

“It balances out maybe biochem majors, biology majors, public health majors, nursing majors,” Davis said.

D av i s s a id t h at t he me d ic a l humanities minor will help students prepare for the revised version of the MCAT, a standardized test medical students take.

MONDAY, MARCH 18, 2019

“Fifty percent of it is on sciences, and 25 percent is on critical reading and writing skills,” Davis said. “And 25 percent is on social sciences.”

Cor iale descr ibed med ical hu ma n it ies as a search for explanation of medical ethics and questions within literature and the arts. For example, questions about pain and end of life care are often answered through the humanities.

“I think they have a sense — and I do too — t hat in t he modern world we separate t hose t h ings out,” Coriale said. “Doctors learn technique, they learn structure, but they aren’t thinking about meaning or storytelling, which is crucial to medicine. It’s the diagnostic tool.

T he e nc ou nt er w it h a p at ie nt involves, ‘What are your symptoms?’

It’s essentially a storytelling process.”

Through work in the classroom a nd i n t he ad m i n ist rat ion, t he medical humanities minor has been approved and will be available for students to pursue in the fall.

Spring break recovery kit: staff picks for what to watch, listen to, read, eat

As students prepare for finals and summer vacation, here’s a few gems that can make the last half of the semester just a little more bearable.

IGGY SHULER AND NICK SULLIVAN @tdg_arts

Watch: “Clerks” Where to stream: Showtime If getting back in the school and work groove is getting you down, this movie is perfect for you. The first in Kevin Smith’s late ‘90s New Jersey trilogy, this comedy follows the trials and tribulations of a day in the life of convenience store clerk Dante Hicks (Brian O’Halloran). If you think coming back to school has you slacking and making questionable choices in terms of time management and interpersonal relationships, this movie will make small potatoes of your idiocy, and perhaps you may take solace in that. If nothing else, you can distract yourself with the deadpan humor and drama of this trilogy instead of stressing about your building’s questionable elevators or your degrading shower shoes.

Watch: “Documentary Now!” Where to stream: Netflix Unlike your classes, this mockumentary series starring Bill Hader and Fred Armisen (of “Saturday Night Live”) won’t actually teach you anything, but they’ll still make you feel smart for laughing along to references you may or may not get. Each episode spoofs a real, well-known documentary (targets range from Vice documentaries to “The Thin Blue Line”). Fortunately, for anyone who last saw a documentary when the seventh grade science teacher wheeled in a chunky TV to show “Bill Nye the Science Guy,” most of the jokes are still hilarious even if you haven’t seen the documentary being mocked.

Watch: “One Strange Rock” Where to stream: Netflix W hile some were off exploring Europe or rela x ing by t he ocean during break , ot hers went home: Ohio, Kansas or Nebraska. Rest assured, there is still time for an adventure of your own, albeit vicariously through the TV screen. This National Geographic documentary series, inexplicably narrated by Will Smit h, takes a unique approach to nature documentaries by i ncor p or at i ng t he per spec t ive of eight astronauts. The series takes viewers above and around the globe to discuss how life exists today, observe environmental extremes and showcase breathtaking imagery. It may not be the same as trekking across the world yourself, but it’s a worthwhile watch nonetheless.

TWEETS OF THE WEEK

Compiled by Taylor Washington

SHREYAS SABOO // THE GAMECOCK Staff writer Iggy Shuler browses Netflix in this staged photo. Streaming services can provide a relaxing oasis for the busy student.

Watch: “Behind the Curve” Where to stream: Netflix T h is doc u ment a r y fol low s a g roup of individuals on a quest for truth as they try to convince the majority population that the earth is, indeed, flat. Featuring interviews with prominent figures in the flat earth community and scientists who adamantly oppose them, both sides of this baffling debate are explored. Though it can be easy to label f lat-earthers as nonsensical, the film poses a fascinating question: What beliefs do we hold without evidence to back us up, and are those beliefs any more justified than the flatearthers’ beliefs? It suggests that we stop laughing at individuals who think differently than us and instead try to engage in a discussion. After all, what is the purpose of education if not to share it respectfully with those around us?

Listen: “No Easy Way Out” by Kid Astray Where to stream: Spotify, Apple Music So you’ve put off that three-page paper and haven’t started studying for next week’s exam.

The t ime spent catching up w ill be neit her enjoyable nor easy, but the mound of homework can still be conquered with a healthy dose of stress and perhaps a coffee or two. Kid Astray’s pop tune tackles that fine balance between staying positive and being realistic. It tells of how quickly one can get overwhelmed and disillusioned by the never-ending cycle of battle after battle, test after test. The road ahead is rocky, but summer is just around the corner, so keep your head high and jam to this song with a frenetic energy that no doubt matches your own.

Read: “Wild” by Cheryl Strayed Where to find it: Thomas Cooper Library, Richland Library This memoir is the perfect way to both escape and confront real life problems. It’s the story of one woman who, after the death of her mother, hikes 1,100 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail alone.

The day-to-day struggle of life on the trail makes for an engaging, fast-paced read as the book follows Strayed’s grueling journey through the wilderness of the West coast (a second, different k ind of vacation for those not quite ready to return from spring break). But, more than action, this book provides an honest look at grief, selfreliance and recovery. Strayed’s accomplishments on and off the trail, in spite of the odds, are inspiring. In this final stretch of the school year, who doesn’t need a little inspiration to forge on?

Review: ‘Captain Marvel’ raises the bar HANNAH HARPER @tdg_arts

Marvel gives us “Captain Marvel” for Women’s History Month — its first female-centric superhero film in 14 years — and it sure does not disappoint.

Before “Wonder Woman” hit the box office 2017, both empowering the DC side of the superhero-based compa n ie s’ r iva l r y a nd m a k i ng Marvel look bad, audiences hadn’t seen a female lead in a superhero film for over a decade. With t wo unsuccessful female-oriented films back to back, Catwoman and Elektra, t he he sit at ion b eh i nd M a r vel’s decision to showcase a woman as the lead was misguided. There was no

excuse to ignore an entire gender and deprive an entire generation of women the opportunity to see itself on the screen.

That being said, “Captain Marvel” is progressive, but Marvel still has a lot of room for growth in all areas of representation.

The closest to a solo woman lead in the past decade for Marvel was Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson, who fights on the front lines alongside the Avengers. When “Avengers: Age of Ultron” was first released, a toy based on a scene featuring Black Widow from the film was replaced with Captain America, overshadowing the woman’s role and pretending as if the man had done the job. With the introduction of Captain Marvel, female audiences can

see a representation of themselves, something that is essential for the development of young minds.

“Captain Mar vel” prov ides a n easy-to-follow plot for viewers who are not accustomed to the Marvel universe. While the plot acts as both the origin story of Captain Marvel and a prequel to “The Avengers,” the film did a brilliant job of carrying the story without the support of the pre-Avengers narrative.

Brie Larson plays the quick-witted Carol Danvers, a woman whose spotty memory of a previous life restricts her full potential. Once she is back on her home planet Earth, she uncovers the truth of her past and discovers that she had been fighting with one hand t ied beh ind her back. The clever incorporation of ‘90s nostalgia

provides a different vibe for the film, including nods to Blockbuster and bomber jackets that send viewers back nearly two decades. No Doubt’s 1995 hit “Just A Girl” was, no doubt, a stellar choice for an intergalactic fight scene.

O v e r a l l , t he f i l m m a r k s t he potential Marvel has to fuel more empowering movies — with more inclusion.

Solange vs. Beyoncé: How do you deliver your art?

MATEO SANDERS @tdg_arts

heartbreak f rom stopping you in your tracks. We get a beautifully subdued message t hat tel ls women t hat no matter how they deal with heartbreak, they can move past the isolation.

The duality of the central themes come together with t he emot ional core of t he album in “Don’t Touch My Hair,” a song t hat tack les something tied deeply to her identity: her hair. She begins the song by saying, “don’t touch my hair, when it’s the feelings I wear,” and lays a foundation for why something simple like hair can have such a key role in influencing daily interactions. These themes send a message that’s just as powerful as her sister’s.

Both sonically and socially, Beyoncé occupies an entirely different sphere than Solange.

W hile Solange appears in Calvin

Artists and sisters Solange and Beyoncé have taken vastly different paths to where they are today.

W hile Beyoncé has been toppi ng c h a r t s si nce t he turn of the century (let’s not forget about Destiny’s Child), Sola nge ha s been a l most none x i st ent a s a mu sic a l counterpart for the better part of her sisters’ meteoric career.

Not ever yone who k nows Solange from her elevator scuffle with Jay-Z also knows her interesting discography.

At 14 years old Solange was working on her debut album, “ S olo St a r,” a nd she co produced and co-wrote some of the songs on the record.

T he sisters had i m mense talent from the beginning, but took their time to hone their messages and display their artistic ability.

The key det a ils when comparing the two artists a r e t he i r s o n ic s t y le s .

Beyoncé is a show-stopper, c re at i ng s p e c t ac le a f ter s p e c t ac le i n e ver y s o n g, video or stage performance.

Solange, on the other hand, has had a very different career pat h. W h ile Beyoncé was getting number one album af ter nu mber one a lbu m, Sola nge was st i l l f i nd i ng herself artistically.

After an eight-year hiatus, Solange released her f irst number one album with “A Seat at The Table” in 2016.

On a record that shines with detail, Solange creates an R&B soundscape that’s almost sedative in its ear-tingling texture. The album showed that Solange was more than Beyoncé’s sister. She was her artistic counterpart in the black feminist experience.

Songs like “Cranes in the Sky” and “Don’t Touch My Hair” finally gave Solange fa ns t he a lter nat ive R&B interpretation that they’ve been waiting for. As her warm vocals cascade over soft synths and pianos, we get a sense of not only Solange’s message, but its origins.

I n “Cra nes i n t he Sk y” we hear an ethereal r e le a s e o f p a i n f rom S ola nge — t he pain of tr ying to keep COURTESY OF TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

K lein ads with indie R&B darlings like Blood Orange & Kelela, Beyoncé is out here throwing haymakers at the charts. After six consecutive number one albums it may feel unfair to discuss the two in the same article.

But music is never about the numbers.

The rare generational pop star that creates a spectacle no matter what she does, Beyoncé sends her message from the world’s biggest stages. In 2014 with the word “FEMINIST” in all caps behind her at the VMA’s, Beyoncé made it very clear that she was not going to remain a silent force in empowering women around the world. In 2016 Beyoncé gave homage to t he Black Panthers, a civil rights activist group from the 1960s, and she again spoke up for the marginalized.

T he d i f ferenc e i n how Beyoncé and Solange deliver their messages is the split in how people interpret their art. Beyoncé sends hers with a sonic boom loud enough for ever yone to hear while Sola nge work s t he si lent engine that went fast enough to c reate such a sou nd.

Solange furthers this theme on her latest record “When I Get Home.”

On another album, Solange delivers her poignant message in a different format. With nearly droning repetition, she hypnotizes us with phrases that occupy almost the entire song while she changes not what she says, but how she says it. The rubber bass grooves a l o n g , establishing the scene for t he cent ra l themes of “When I G et Home.”

W h ile “Seat at the Table” dives deep into her black identity ly r ic a l ly, “When I Get Home” is different. “ W i t h ‘A Seat at t he Table,’ I had so much to say,” Solange said in an interview with Complex. “ W it h t h i s

album, I had so much to feel.”

Although the comparisons sonically seem fruitless, we can still discuss how they use their different social spheres and artistic inf luence to send a message. To always have an answer for your ar t is impor t a nt, a nd these sisters show that there’s more than one right answer.

It’s also apparent t h at S o l a n g e w a s more concerned with creating a soundscape ref lect ive of her experience as a young woman in Houston.

A f ter st ar t i ng t he writing portion of the a lbu m i n Houston’s Third Ward, Solange moved back home and ultimately created an album rich in Texas flavor.

Like her sister, Beyoncé derives a lot of her artistic influence from her home.

Beyoncé has expanded so far beyond her home w it h her out reach that she’s had to take o n i n f lu e n c e f r o m different sonic spheres than most artists, but despite t h is global out reach, Beyoncé st il l sol id if ies her representat ions of her Houston home in her lyrics.

No matter how they deliver their message, Beyoncé and Solange will a l w a y s h a v e t he same roots.

Men’s season ends with no bids JOE MCLEAN @joemclean97

SARA YANG // THE GAMECOCK South Carolina junior guard Tyasha Harris dribbles down the court in a home matchup against Kentucky.

Women’s basketball looks ahead to NCAA tournament

JOE MCLEAN @joemclean97

For the first time since 2014, the South Carolina women’s basketball team will enter the NCA A tournament with a conference tournament loss.

The G a mecock s lost to t he A rk a nsas Razorbacks 95-89 on March 10 at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, which was the first SEC Tournament loss since 2014 when South Carolina lost to Kentucky 68-58.

With the loss behind them the Gamecocks look to begin their postseason march towards another national championship.

“This loss doesn’t really define us. Gladly, this isn’t the end of our season,” junior guard Te’a Cooper told The State. “We got ourselves to the position to where we still have the opportunity to play in the NCAA tournament, and we gotta get ready for that and use this as motivation.”

South Carolina now has a 21-9 (13-3 SEC) record, qual if y i ng t hem for t he NC A A tournament, which begins play on March 22.

Where the Gamecocks will begin postseason play has not yet been announced. However, experts believe they’ll be playing close to home.

ESPN bracketologist Charlie Creme has South Carolina as a No. 4 seed in the tournament playing the winner of Bucknell vs. Patriot, both projected to be No. 13 seeds, in Charlotte.

Most years, this potential matchup would be at Colonial Life Arena, but the NCAA granted South Carolina a waiver since Colonial Life Arena will be unavailable. The arena is set to host the first two rounds of the NCAA men’s tournament.

Should the Gamecocks win t wo games at their makeshift host site on the U NCCharlotte campus, they’re projected to be in the Greensboro regional along with other notable teams such as No. 1 Baylor and No. 6 Kentucky.

Both the Baylor Bears and the Kentuck y Wildcats beat the Gamecocks at home this year by scores of 94-69 and 65-57, respectively.

SB Nation writer Russell Steinberg initially projected the Gamecocks as a No. 3 seed, but moved them down to a No. 4 seed after their loss, according to his Twitter page. Unlike Creme, Steinberg did not provide a projection as to where the Gamecocks will begin the postseason.

Even with fans and media speculating about where the Gamecocks will land, head coach Dawn Staley said she isn’t concerned.

“I’m not even gonna comment on that,” Staley told The State. “It’s in the committee’s hands, and they will decide what that looks like for us, like they do every year.”

South Carolina will off icially learn its postseason destination on Monday at 7 p.m., when the women’s tournament bracket is released on ESPN.

South Carolina (16-16, 11-7 SEC) did not receive a bid to the National Invitational Tournament (NIT), ending the 2018-19 men’s basketball season.

The Gamecocks won 11 SEC games and received a double bye in the SEC Tournament for the third time in the last four years, but inconsistent play throughout the season would end up dooming South Carolina’s chances at postseason basketball for the second straight season after reaching the Final Four in 2017.

The Gamecocks started the season with a 5-7 non-conference record. South Carolina lost to Virginia and Michigan, two of the top teams in the country, in non-conference play. South Carolina also had two losses against much lower ranked teams, hurting its post-season chances early.

The Gamecocks lost to Wyoming, who has a NET ranking of 321, and Stony Brook, who has a NET ranking of 156.

After winter break, the Gamecocks bounced back and defeated Division II school North Greenville before the SEC portion of the schedule.

The Gamecocks began the SEC portion of the season 4-0, highlighted by victories over Florida in Gainesville and Mississippi State in Columbia. Both opponents earned NCAA tournament bids at t he end of t he season. The Gamecocks also defeated t he SEC Tournament champion and NCAA tournament team Auburn Tigers at home, adding to their impressive conference resume.

However, the G a mecock s went on t he road to St illwater, SARA YANG // THE GAMECOCK Oklahoma for the SEC/ Big 12 Challenge in January and fell to the Oklahoma State Cowboys, who only won 12 games this year, by a score of 74-70. The loss to the Cowboys added to the Gamecocks’ nonconference woes, bringing their non-conference record to 5-8.

The Gamecocks then bounced back and defeated Ole Miss, marking their fourth win over an NCAA tournament team at home 79-64. But they followed their win over the Rebels with three straight losses to Mississippi State, Alabama and Missouri, adding to their inconsistent season.

The Gamecocks were able to finish the regular season with two straight wins over Texas A&M and Georgia, bringing their record to 16-15 (11-7 SEC), which allowed them to have a double bye for the third time in four years.

South Carolina took on the future SEC Tournament champion Auburn Tigers in the quarterfinal rounds, and was tied at halftime, but the team fell to Auburn by a score of 73-64, ending their 2018-19 campaign.

With the season coming to a close, seniors Hassani Gravett, Tre Campbell and Chris Silva are also ending their careers in garnet and black.

Gravett and Silva were the only starting players that were part of the 2017 Final Four team.

Go big, then go home: Holloman named South Pointe head coach

SHELBY BECKLER @ShelbyBeckler

Many football players leave the sport completely after they finish playing. But former South Carolina linebacker DeVonte Holloman is staying involved with football by coaching at his high school, where his football career began.

Holloman was named the head football coach of South Pointe High School on Feb. 4, 2019. The South Pointe football program gave Holloman an opportunity to transfer early to a collegiate level and pursue his athletic career.

After transferring from Independence High School to South Pointe High School for his senior year, Holloman started to make a name for himself.

In 2008, Holloman helped lead the South Pointe team to a 15-0 record and a claimed a South Carolina 4A Division II championship alongside future teammates Stephon Gilmore and Jadaveon Clowney.

Holloman said that during the first game, South Pointe was up 21-0 in the first quarter without the offense being on the field, while he returned a punt and Clowney picked up a fumbled kickoff return and a ran for a touchdown.

“And that’s when I knew that we had a special team,” Holloman said.

This was also the moment when Holloman realized he wanted to continue pursuing football. After receiving a scholarship from the University of South Carolina, he was one of three freshman that enrolled in January 2009, including Gilmore.

Holloman posted 30 tackles and played in all 13 games during his freshman year as a Gamecock.

MONDAY, MARCH 18, 2019 FROM HOLLOMAN PAGE 9

Despite the connection that he had w it h former Sout h Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier, one of the biggest inf luences for Holloman to play for South Carolina was Ellis Johnson.

Johnson was South Carolina’s defensive coordinator three out of the four years Holloman played.

Joh nson’s con nec t ion w it h t he defensive side of t he ba l l helped Holloman make his final decision to come to South Carolina.

As Holloman continued his football career at South Carolina, his friendships with Gilmore and Clowney developed even further.

“Me and Stephon, we have been friends since we were 11 years old, 10 years old, playing basketball, so we were always close all the way through college and even to this day,” Holloman said.

Even though Clowney signed with South Carolina in 2011, Holloman said that when Clowney came to Columbia, it was almost as if he had to watch out for his baby brother.

“I kinda took the kinda approach to help him out with anything that he needed and during practice,” Holloman said. “I would be one of the people that would calm him down or just talk to him. I was one of the people that I thought he actually listened to most of the time.”

By the time Holloman reached his senior year at South Carolina, he was fourth on the team with 57 tackles and had 207 career stops.

H i s jou r ne y d id n’t end t here.

Holloman was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the sixth round of the 2013 NFL Draft.

Even though Holloman faced injuries before, one injury during a preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens ended his football career as a player.

Holloman was diagnosed with a narrow spinal column condition and announced his retirement from the NFL on Aug. 25, 2014.

Holloman was given the opportunity after his injury to be a graduate assistant coach at South Carolina. This is when Holloman found his chance to still pursue the game in a different way.

This position led him to work with

other linebackers and mentor former South Carolina players like Skai Moore and Bryson Allen-Williams.

“It was a good experience as far as learning the other side of things from being a player to a coach, and it was a great introduction to my coaching career,” Holloman said.

The connect ion bet ween A llenWilliams and Moore continued after Holloman left the coaching staff at South Carolina. He still talks to both of them, he said.

“I wished [Moore] good luck before the combine and things like that, but I try to just let them know that I am here for them ... I try not to bother them,” Holloman said. “I just let them know every now and then that I am thinking about them, if they need anything to call me.”

A s H o l l o m a n’s c o a c h i n g r o l e progressed, he became the head football coach at Beaufort High School in the spring of 2018. However, an opportunity that Holloman said was almost a nobrainer to apply to be the head football coach of his alma mater.

After losing his sister and wanting to be closer to his family, Holloman hoped to see South Pointe in his future more than ever before.

Holloman said he does not take the transition from being a player to coach for granted and finds it challenging to teach others the skills he showcased.

“These kids nowadays are so focused on what is right in front of them, and trying to get them to see the big picture is the toughest part,” Holloman said.

“But at the same time, the best part and the most rewarding part is when we get people to do it.”

Even after being away from the South Pointe football field for eleven years, Holloman has some of the same assistant coaches alongside him.

“Those guys have remained the same and I’m really happy to keep those guys on staff and hoping they can help me just as much as they have helped other coaches,” Holloman said.

Even with this new opportunit y, Holloman said he hasn’t forgotten his South Carolina legacy. A few weeks ago when the South Pointe women’s basketball team played at Colonial Life Arena for a state championship, Holloman came down and was able to

FILE PHOTO: CHRIS KEOHANE // THE DAILY GAMECOCK

tour the new Long Family Football Operations Center in Columbia. “ T he c o ac he s a re a lway s ver y welcoming when I come there, from Coach Muschamp all the way down, so the connection there is still strong,” Holloman said.

Holloman’s success under Spurrier will be remembered at South Carolina and his connections will continue as he prepares high school players for the collegiate level, especially through his bond with South Carolina and his other

network of coaches.

Holloman said he wants to use his experiences from his football career to inspire the young men he will coach at South Pointe. He lives by the saying “don’t get out-worked.”

“I just want to put it all together — my experience from high school going into college from college going into the pros,” Holloman said. “I just want to put all my experiences together as one.”

Bruce Ellington signs with Patriots

KATELYN SMITH @katelynsmithd

After being a free agent for just under a month, former Gamecock Bruce Ellington will continue his N FL career with the 2019 Super Bowl Champions: the New England Patriots.

He attributes his five years in the NFL to the time he spent at South Carolina.

“Just being here as a Gamecock and playing football and basketball, the fans, the coaches, everybody, even y’all, it was a great time,” Ellington told The State.

Ellington was a Gamecock from 2010 -2014 and spent t hree years during his time at South Carolina playing football and basketball. He is

from Moncks Corner, South Carolina, where he began his career as an athlete at Berkeley High School. As a high school senior, he was named the South Carolina Coaches Association 4A Player of the Year and was a four star prospect for basketball.

As a freshman at South Carolina, Ellington started in 30 basketball games and was named to the SEC A ll-Freshman Team while under head coach Frank Martin. During his football career at South Carolina, he had a total of 106 catches and 1,586 receiving yards.

In 2014, Ellington was drafted to the NFL in the fourth round. Since then he’s been with three NFL teams, spending two seasons each with the San Francisco 49ers and Houston Texans. His last season was with the

Hav ing just sig ned a one year cont rac t w it h New Engla nd, Ellington can fit the mold of other successful Patriot slot receivers such as Wes Welker, Danny Amendola and Julian Edelman. The Patriots often utilize crossing routes from their slot receivers.

His versatility as a kick returner will also help Ellington in his new spot on

the team. He has a total of 1,279 yards as a kick returner between the three teams over the last four years.

Ellington will be joining his former South Carolina teammate Stephon Gilmore in New England. Gilmore played h is la st sea son w it h t he Gamecocks in 2011, when Ellington started his freshman year.

Ellington will join a strong receiving core on the Patriots after practicing with the squad during an off-season workout this week.

The A A F’s r ules are similar to the NFL’s with a few exceptions: no kickoffs, no extra points, a shortened play clock and different overtime rules.

The A A F includes some notable former college football players like former Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray with the Atlanta Legends and former Alabama running back Trent R ichardson with the Birmingham Iron.

A mong these players are former Gamecocks such as former head coach Steve Spurrier, former defensive tackle Devin Taylor and all-time scoring leader kicker Elliott Fry. Spurrier was hired as head coach of the Orlando Apollos in April 2018, his first coaching job since his resignation with South Carolina during the 2015

season. “ I lo v e t he ne w r u le s i n t he Alliance,” Spurrier told the Orlando Sentinel. “The games are going to be 2 1/2 hours with a 30-second clock in between plays. There’s not going to be a lot of dead time.”

Fry is another former Gamecock continuing his football career with the Apollos. Fry played for the Gamecocks between 2013 and 2016 and made 75 percent of his field goals with South Carolina.

After his senior season at South Carolina, Fry tried out with the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers but was unable to make the squad before signing with the Apollos back in November.

So far in his time with the Apollos, Fry has not missed a field goal. He’s made 12 out of 12 attempts in his AAF career including a 47-yard attempt in his second game against the San Antonio Commanders.

Now a defensive tack le for t he Birmingham Iron, Taylor’s name is still familiar to Gamecock fans.

Taylor played for the garnet and black between 2009 and 2012. During his college career, he garnered a total of 161 tackles and 18.5 sacks.

After his time in Columbia, Taylor was drafted by the NFL’s Detroit Lions in t he fourt h round of t he 2013 NFL Draft. Taylor started all 16 games with the Lions in the 2016 season with 28 tackles and 4.5 sacks but was not resigned by Detriot and instead signed with the NFL’s New York Giants.

Taylor played two games for the Giants and was released during the 2017 season. Si nce t hen, Taylor has found his new home with the Birmingham Iron. So far in his time with the Iron, Taylor has a total of six tackles and one sack.

W it h t e a m s now b ei n g ab out halfway through their seasons in the A AF, these former Gamecocks are pushing for something that they strove for at South Carolina: a championship.

Don’t gender kids’ clothing

I spent much of my childhood with my brother and his best friend, and we did things stereotypically reserved for boys.

I enjoyed my share of dolls and princess movies, but I also enjoyed going outside, playing in the dirt Chrissy Roffe and playing video games. I Third-year didn’t consider gender roles English student and how I was expected to dress “girly” and only play with dolls. I just wanted to wear what I liked and do what I enjoyed.

There should not be any gendered clothing, especially for young children. The concept of reserving pink for girls and blue for boys is not something k ids need to consider. People, and especially children, should be allowed to wear what they feel comfortable in.

Gendered clothing limits a child’s choices as they

grow older. If their parent or guardian has been buying them clothes from the same section for years, the child will be used to this. The parent or guardian is also likely to influence them to continue wearing clothes that “follow” their gender.

According to Nikki Yeager, a Huffington Post contributor, we should be “providing a child with a range of clothing options from sparkly tutus, to blue overalls, to pink shirts ... without learning to label clothing as ‘boy’ or ‘girl.’”

When children are young they can’t pick out clothing for themselves, but that does not mean they should be forced into gendered clothing. Gender neutral and practical clothing is the best way to go at a very young age. This keeps things open for when they get older and can pick out their own clothing.

Gendered clothing can also send sexist messages.

Boys’ clothing often has hyper-masculine messages on it, like “I flexed so hard my sleeves fell off” or being a “little heartbreaker.” This encourages boys to be extremely focused on their masculinity and obsess over it to an unhealthy point. It also tells boys

they can mistreat girls with no consequences.

Our society’s gender roles assign girls to be dainty and sedentary, leaving the hard work to the boys.

This is also apparent in children’s clothing in that boys will have more pockets, and have more fun active clothes.

Girls are more likely to be put in impractical clothing with prettiness being the only factor. Girls are expected to be focused on their looks, have long hair and wear dresses. It is fine for girls to want to wear feminine clothing, but when we expect this to be the only thing they are allowed to wear, it’s limiting and does not allow them to explore. The same concept applies to boys as well.

Gendered clothing has a negative effect on young children and their future. It limits their sense of expression and places them in a societal role that should have nothing to do with gender in the first place. Boys and girls should be allowed to wear whatever they want to express themselves, which sets the tone in encouraging them to pursue any career or hobby in the future.

Confront conspiracy JUULs do more theorists with logic help than harm, don’t deserve hate

Joseph Will Fouth-year economics student If you’ve ever set foot on a college campus, chances are you’ve seen someone J U U L i ng.

The ubiquitous vice is as common as smoking was in the naïve days of America’s past, and within the past year has taken the college world by storm. Needless to say, the phenomenon is a controversial one.

There’s been much hand wringing over the alleged risks and dangers g iven t he add ic t ive nature of nicotine. Just last month, The Daily Gamecock dedicated an entire spread to the JU U L, tak ing g reat pains to emphasize that the JUUL is, in fact, an addictive vice.

A s a JU U L user myself, I couldn’t help but feel a bit patronized.

Of course the JUUL is addictive — it contains nicot ine.

Did anyone ever really doubt this? Pointing out

nicotine is addictive is a bit like pointing out fast food is fattening.

Everyone is aware of the fact, but those who choose to use it likely don’t care.

Prior to JUULing, I was a cig fiend. At my peak (or nadir) I was smoking roughly half a pack of Marlboro Reds a day. I eventually started buying cartons in order to avoid constant trips to the gas station.

I k new I needed t o q u it , b ut w a s n’t prepared to do so without a substitute.

Nicotine, after all, was a staple of my life at that point. The JUUL filled the gap left by cigarettes and enabled me to stop smok i ng. There a re plenty of others like me who were able to quit a deadly drug thanks to t he JU U L and e-cigarettes.

Granted, most of the people who JUUL at USC didn’t start out as smokers. For whatever reason, they decided to ef fec t ively abu se somet h ing meant as a smok ing cessat ion device. In the process, m a n y h a v e b e c o me hopeless addicts.

While young people becoming addicted to nicotine isn’t ideal, I don’t think it warrants t he k ind of pearl

clutching we’ve seen. I will go out on a limb and make the bold assertion that nicotine itself is not really harmful, and an addiction that’s not from traditional forms of nicotine use — like smoking or dipping — isn’t that awful.

T he re a l d a ng er s of cigarettes are ext raneous to t he n icot i ne. Nicot i ne isn’t k nown to cause cancer, emphysema or pu l mona r y f ibrosis, which are associated with long-term smoking.

The most dangerous thing about nicotine is its potential to get you addicted to tobacco, the real culprit behind smoking-related deaths.

The JUUL eliminates the tobacco and leaves you with a vice that is better than smok ing cigarettes. This isn’t to say nicotine itself i s h a r m l e s s — i t ’s not — but t he dr ug is downright benign compared to tobacco.

The social good t hat t he JU U L does in helping people quit a v ic e a s de ad l y a s smok i ng of fset s t he harm caused by hooking college kids on nicotine.

In the end, the JUUL doe sn’t de ser ve t he backlash it has received.

The internet is an incredible tool for sharing information with people globally.

T he d r awbac k is it allows misinformation Meredith Edwards to spread and is a First-year mass breeding ground communications for conspi rac y student theories.

Conspiracy theories, as I will refer to them, are false beliefs held by a minority of people that are supported by untrue evidence and believed by a specific community, especially one online.

With college students populating many platforms of social media and having access to higher education, we often write off conspiracy theorists as unimportant, thinking that because these beliefs are clearly false, they don’t deserve our attention.

The problem with the infectious nature of conspiracy theories is not always with the theory itself, but with how the public treats the community that accepts the theories. According to an article by Karen Douglas, a professor of psychology at the University of Kent, people that feel victimized or have damaged reputations are more likely to accept conspiracy theories as true.

These individuals will use conspiracy theories as a coping mechanism that helps them feel part of a community.

As humans, especially as college students, we should recognize how much people desire to have a community.

Believing a conspiracy theory opens up a whole online community of people that are tied together by “secret knowledge” which gives those in the community the feeling of belonging that they don’t have in the general public.

Conspiracy theories also feed on fear. According to BBC writer Melissa Hogenboom, “conspiracy theories help

people make sense of the world when they feel out of control, are anxious or feel powerless if their needs are threatened.”

In the aftermath of 9/11, people were afraid and vulnerable to believing conspiracy theories. In the Center for Inquiry video “Debunking 9/11 Conspiracy Theories,” Mick West describes that many conspiracy theorists believe tiny solidified drops of metal called microspheres in the dust after the fall of the World Trade Center are proof that an explosive was used to destroy the towers rather than crashed planes.

In times of fear, people look to simple answers, regardless of evidence, to explain why tragedies occur. In this theory, people allowed the community to draw them in, even though others were able to prove that the microspheres could be caused by various other means.

They wanted an easily accessible way to explain the tragedy.

Under st a nd i ng t h i s de si re for a com mu n it y, t he way to combat online conspiracy theories is to offer an alternative. You should show these people that you are willing to listen to their concerns and garner trust. Once you show that you aren’t going to attack them for their beliefs, then you have a platform to share your ideas.

Since conspiracy theories are also based on fear, you need to share unbiased and verifiable facts to support your ideas and meet theorists on their level. Having a heated argument explaining why you’re right and they’re wrong isn’t enough.

One of the biggest things is knowing when to pick your battles. Some staunch conspiracy theorists aren’t going to be swayed, especially if they are angry.

However, there are some people on the fence that can be swayed by a wellreasoned argument from someone who has proved they can be trusted.

As West puts it, “figuring out what was going on is not really the same as debunking a claim effectively. The debunk needs to get through to people.”
