Therapy dog comforts students on campus SYDNEY READ @tdg_dailynews
Since returning from six weeks in a therapy training program in Charlotte, North Carolina, USC’s resident therapy dog, Indy, has been holding office hours for students in an effort to help relieve stress. “I think it’s been pretty obvious, so far, the impact she’s had,” said Justina Siuba, the stress management coordinator at Student Health Services. “We’ve had students who talk about how much they miss their dog and how homesick they are and just that natural ability to connect and start to make relationships happen, and organic connections come from it too.” Siuba spoke to two first-year students who met and bonded over mutual interests while interacting with Indy at her first meet and greet. “The only reason they connected was because they both came to meet Indy at that exact time, so the fact
that she’s helping to foster relationships and help combat loneliness,” Siuba said. “She really helps you with all of that.” A lthough the health center has welcomed visiting therapy dogs to assist with appointment anxiet y in the past, Indy is the f irst dog to work f ull-time on campus. She was adopted out of an accidental litter at Dog Knowledge, the company that became her training center. “We knew that we wanted to get a therapy dog, we actually lucked out that the training facility had some puppies from an accidental litter that they had,” Siuba said. “And the reason that they suggested going through a dog that they knew the pedigree, versus just adopting just a shelter dog, is that you can predict their temperament a little bit better ... that really helps to dictate what

Former USC student receives 20-year sentence for fatal accident Last November, Charles Davenport Jr. was driving his pickup truck at a speed twice the legal limit with a blood-alcohol level nearly double the legal alcohol limit. He had also ingested Xanax and THC. As Davenport was accelerating on Rosewood Drive, he hit a 22-year old David Newell, a graduating USC senior from Maryland who was driving his moped.

With final exams next month, Indy will be available until Dec. 7 to help alleviate academic and personal stress for students. St udents can visit Indy Monday through Thursday from 3 p.m to 4 p.m. and Friday from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. during her office hours. They can also participate in Indy’s wellness walks from 10:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

With lush arrangements and spine-tingling vocals, “Saturn” finds Nao learning to let go of what’s holding her back as she prepares for the Saturn return, an astrological phenomenon that happens when one reaches around 30 years of age.

Chekhov’s ‘Platonov’ premieres at Longstreet Theatre NICK SULLIVAN @tdg_arts Russia n play w r ight A nton C he k ho v ’s wo r k i s c o m i n g t o Longstreet Theatre this month, but not in typical fashion. Chekhov is widely recognized for works such as “The Seagull,” “Three Sisters” and “The Cherry Orchard,” all of which are on heavy rotation within the theater community. Not so popular, however, is his earliest work: “Platonov.” “Platonov” centers around the titular Mikhail Platonov, whose stay at a friend’s country house leads to a series of new love interests that threaten his marriage — and his sanity. Wr it t e n b y C h e k h o v at t h e young age of 20, “Platonov” was not published until nearly two decades after his death. As such, the show did not receive the attention of his other works, but it has managed to catch the eye of Steven Pearson, who is directing the USC Department of Theatre and Dance performance. “A number of years ago I became really intrigued by “Platonov,”’ said

‘welcome to Thanksgiving at your house with your in-laws,’” said firstyear MFA student Jennifer Sanchez. Sanchez plays Anna Petrovna, who sets the story into motion when she welcomes her friends to her home. Sanchez described her character as having “ulterior motives,” ultimately hoping to seduce Platonov. First-year MFA student Can Yasar portrays Platonov, whom he describes as an artist and intellectual who “has a conscience for social issues and political issues.” Platanov has traded his personal aspirations in favor of marriage and fatherhood, settling for a more orderly lifestyle than he once envisioned for himself — a lifestyle that does not fulfill him. “So what happens is that he’s like this caged person who doesn’t know what to do, or how to escape from that, although he wants to escape,” Yasar said.

EVENTS OF THE WEEK:
Pearson in a press release. “I could see connections between some of the characters in this first script and those that appear in his other plays, most particularly “The Cherry Orchard,” which was his last play. There’s a kind of youthful energy, and wrestling with the political and social stresses that were happening then. I thought it would be fantastic to edit it using some awareness of his later work.” Edit he did, working to condense a roughly five and a half hour play to a more manageable hour and 45 minutes. Pearson said, “Anybody who wants to do it – and there have been a number of interesting takes – has to edit it, while staying true to his voice and the characters and scenes that he’s written.” The abridged play, which will be performed Nov. 11 through Nov. 17, arrives at an opportune time, as it includes scenes with a notable connection to the holiday season. “It’s coming up near Thanksgiving, a nd we h ave a s c ene a rou nd a table, as you do as Chekhov, and t he y ’re a rg u i ng, a nd debat i ng, and everything else, and it’s very

But do not be i nt im idated. Stereotypical images of a record store crowd might conjure punks and hipsters, mostly young, mostly white people with trendy hairstyles, eclectic tattoos and farmers’ market tote bags full of locally sourced kombucha in tow. One might think of bearded guys in flannels looking for the latest Father John Misty or Sufjan Stevens album, or of mom-jeans clad teens taking Instagram photos in the aisles while they search for the latest local underground lo-fi electro-rock, or some other obscure genre you have never heard of. And certainly, there’s a place for those people here — store owner Tim Smith mentions that a genre he dubs “college rock,” artists like Sufjan Stevens and Mac DeMarco, consistently sell well. But at Papa Jazz, the music and the community it attracts is much more diverse than that. According to Jones, the store attracts all types. “You get your crazy collectors or you
get people who are just casual music fans and you got the die-hard CD people still … and you got the guys who are just into ‘70s British prog rock and you got the guys who are just into jazz or blues or reggae or whatever,” Jones said. He says everyone from “grandmothers looking for weird Celtic music to DJs who are looking for things to sample,” shop at the store. But the most exciting part is that while there’s a diversity of patronage, everyone has one thing in common: a love of music. For Papa Jazz, t he record store e x p e r i e n c e i s n’t a b o u t m u s i c a l snobbishness or elitism. It isn’t just about knowing the coolest or most indie bands, or having the latest, most popular album. It’s about lots of different folks coming into this single space for a common purpose. “You get all kinds of different people with all kinds of different jobs and all kinds of different lives, and they all kind of can come together over this one thing,” Jones said. And that is pretty jazzy.

But what happens when their superpowers are stripped away? A st udent f ilm called “January” follows a former superhero as he tries to navigate the world instead of saving it.

Gamecocks collapse against Gators
SARA YANG // THE GAMECOCK The South Carolina Gamecocks fell to the No. 15 Florida Gators at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Florida, on Nov. 10, 2018, their fourth loss of the season.
Joe McLean @joemclean97
I
n a battle for a third place in the SEC East, the Gamecocks seemed well on their way to a second straight 8-4 regular season midway through the third quarter, going up 31-14 on the Florida Gators. At that point, the Gamecocks had a comfortable lead and had silenced an otherwise rowdy crowd in Gainesville, Florida. The offense had scored 31 points, highlighted by explosive plays, which seemed to be building off of a stellar performance at Ole Miss from the week before. However, the Florida Gators surged back to beat the Gamecocks for the second time in three years by scoring 21 unanswered points in the Swamp to win 35-31. Florida won the game by taking advantage of a depleted Gamecock defense, and it ended up being the difference in the game. The Gators were extremely successful running the ball in the last 15 minutes, rushing for 367 yards. “Can’t stop the run, it’s gonna have a hard time winning,” said head football coach Will Muschamp after the game. “It’s the bottom line.” The Gamecocks also were not as effective on the offensive side of the ball after creating a 17-point lead. At the end of the third quarter, the Gamecocks had passed for 239 yards, with junior quarterback Jake Bentley having a solid day by completing 18 of his 28 passes and throwing for two touchdowns. However, the Gamecocks had zero passing yards in the fourth quarter
and were committed to playing more conservative on offense by running the ball more, which allowed Florida, the second best overall defense in the SEC, to take control of the game and take the lead for good with 4:09 left in the game. Even though the passing game wasn’t as efficient in the fourth quarter, Muschamp believes that the players and coaches used the same offensive philosophy at the end of the game, but problems arose with execution down the stretch. “We’ve called the same things we were calling to get to that point,” said Muschamp after the game. “We had a couple of drops there at the end to give you some opportunities, we had some run checks that were working well, but [Florida] leveraged and did a little better job on them. Didn’t change the mindset at all.” Muschamp was also frustrated with the inability to make plays during South Carolina’s last drive of the game, where the Gamecocks were down by four points and had an opportunity to drive down the field for a game winning touchdown. “We’ve been in this situation a lot. We had four minutes to go in the game. We had our opportunities, and we just gotta go finish some plays,” said Muschamp. “It’s frustrating.” With the 35-31 loss, the Gamecocks fall to 5-4 on the season and will finish the SEC portion of the schedule with a 4-4 conference record. South Carolina hopes to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Florida when Chattanooga comes to Columbia on Nov. 17. The game will kick off at 7:30 p.m. and can be seen on the SEC Network alternate channel.

Gamecocks in position for bowl
Joe McLean @joemclean97 With the Gamecocks needing only one more win to secure bowl eligibility for the third year in a row, bowl projections from media outlets are starting to appear. South Carolina is currently 5-4 after a loss to Florida on Saturday. With three more games to get at least one more win, there are a number of bowl game options for the Gamecocks in a number of destinations — assuming that the Gamecocks beat at least one team out of Chattanooga, Clemson and Akron. The most surprising and least likely projection has the Gamecocks in the Academy Sports + Outdoors Texas Bowl. Sporting News has the
Gamecocks playing the Texas Tech Red Raiders on Dec. 27 at NRG Stadium. South Carolina has never played in the Texas Bowl, nor has the team ever played the Texas Tech Red Raiders in football. While a trip to the Lone Star State to take on a team that the Gamecocks have never faced would be exciting, it is very unlikely with South Carolina being one of the easternmost teams in the SEC. In other media projections, experts have the Gamecocks playing closer to home in locations such as Jacksonville, Florida, or Nashville, Tennessee. SEE BOWL PAGE 8
It was another Gamecock football Saturday night at Williams-Brice Stadium for a highly anticipated SEC match up with the nationally-ranked Texas A&M Aggies. After being down 16-0 to the Aggies, the Gamecocks rallied to tie the game 16-16 in the third quarter. With another playing of Sandstorm due at WilliamsBrice after the Bryan Edwards catch for a 2-point conversion, the media team at South Carolina had something different up its sleeve. The usual beats of Sandstorm shook the stadium until a sudden drop caught the ears of thousands of Gamecock fans. This Sandstorm remix instantly became a fanfavorite among fans, students and alumni. The man behind this remix was none other than fourth-year Coastal Carolina communications student Marco Washington; also known by his artist name “Reaper.” “I wanted to add some new age flavor to it,” Washington said. “I’ve been going to Gamecock games since I was six, seven ... and I just hear the song every time you’re at a game and you see how people react to it and I was sitting one day and I heard it go off ... and I was like you know, no one’s really made a remix of it ... I just wanted to give it a shot and see where it would go.” SEE SANDSTORM PAGE 8

The Gamecocks have never played in the Music Cit y Bowl, but have already played in Nashville once this year. South Carolina plays at Vanderbilt every other year, and beat the Commodores in Nashville by a score of 37-14 earlier this year. South Carolina has never played Syracuse on the football field. Even after a frustrating loss to the Florida Gators, the Gamecocks are still in position to play in a bowl game against a qualit y opponent in December.

On the night of Sept. 17, Washington posted his rendition of Sandstorm on his Twitter account. “ S o o v e r n i g h t , i t b l e w u p ,” Washing ton said. “People started tagging USC players in it, people started tagging Justin King into it and even Justin King retweeted it after it really started taking off. I woke up to like 50k likes with 10k retweets and I still get notifications to this day.” Washington went on to say that he was just hoping that his remix would be played at Williams-Brice so that he could impact the Gamecocks in some way and make his mark on South Carolina. Soon af ter he posted h is rem i x on Tw it ter, Wa sh i ng ton got t he opportunity he had been waiting fo when Justin King, the associate athletics director for new and creative media at South Carolina, contacted him. “It all happened through Twitter DM’s,” Washington said. “I sent them the video ... and then [King] was like ‘Yeah man, this is sick’ and I posted the song to Soundcloud and I sent him

the link to it and everything and he downloaded it and he was like ‘Yeah’ and he said he was going to use it in his promo videos.” Not long after his conversation with King, Washington’s remix was used in a promotional video for the football game against Vanderbilt. The reaction was a positive one. Then after the Vanderbilt game, King came back to Washington with great news. “He said ‘Yeah, we might run this at Williams-Brice, if people keep loving it’” Washington said. “Whenever we scored the two-point conversion to tie the game up, there it is, they played it.” The South Carolina media team still uses Washington’s remix at football games, as they used it two weeks later against Tennessee after a Jake Bentley run for a two-point conversion to tie the game at 24-24. Now that Washington is done with his Sandstorm remix, he hopes for more opportunities to work with South Carolina. “I would’ve done it to just work up with USC,” Washington said. “I would love to make music for them somehow. That is a big goal for me.”

Soccer to face Penn State next in NCAA Tournament
SHREYAS SABOO // THE GAMECOCK
Gamecocks midfielder Lauren Chang (24) and Spartans midfielder/defender Grace Timbario (14) battle for the ball in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at Stone Stadium on Nov. 9, 2018.
Shelby Beckler @sbeckler13 The South Carolina women’s soccer team has secured its NCAA Tournament eligibility going into the second round for the third-straight season. After Friday’s 3-1 win against UNC Greensboro, the Gamecocks have found their dominating force on the offensive side of the ball. The Gamecocks struggled to execute until the final minutes of the game. However, according to sophomore Lauren Chang, the teams has stepped up its game offensively. “We are playing with more confidence. We’re taking risks. We’re trying to get it behind them. We had some offside calls, which is I know it sucks to be offsides, but it’s a good thing because we are testing the line,” Chang said. “So I think confidence was a really big factor into our offensive play.” With this confidence, Chang scored her first career goal in the NCAA Tournament against the
Spartans. South Carolina found out what it took to come back during the second half and take the lead with more urgency. “We just knew we had to come out with a lot of energy and match their intensity and just play our game,” Jyllissa Harris said. “When we tune out in the back, that’s what happens. So we know we had to stay focused through the second half.” As the Gamecocks delivered in the goal, head coach Shelley Smith was impressed to see the first goal of the game come from forward Elexa Bahr in the 31st minute. “It’s huge for any of our forwards right now to put the ball in the back of the net,” Smith said. “We’ve had several chances in games leading up to this where we’ve hit the post or just missed. Or some of them have been on a drought for a little while, and I know they’re itching to score. It was really nice to see her put one away, and then to finish the game.” The focus point for South Carolina all season has been producing for a full 90 minutes. Smith
said that even though her team fought back in the second half and secured the win, the Gamecocks need to be more aggressive. South Carolina has been able to look to Chang when in need of a driving force on offense. She scored the second goal for the Gamecocks in the 50th minute from an assist from Harris. This goal helped to shift the momentum and pace of the game on offense. “She had a big year last year as a freshman; she played a lot of time,” Smith said. “She got off the bench and played good minutes for us. So, she came in here this year ready to go with that experience in her freshman year and has really done a good job to start the game for us and play extremely well and then come up with big moments like she did tonight.” Chang has held three game-winning goals this season against Clemson, Tennessee and UNC Greensboro. The Gamecocks will look to carry this offensive drive against Penn State University on Nov. 16 on the road in Morgantown, West Virginia.

Group projects are waste of time
Students should have more extra credit opportunities A s a college student, I have to con st a nt ly juggle multiple things at once: classes, homework, my job, well-being, r e l at io n s h ip s C hr i s t ina Ro f f e a n d m o r e . Third-year English Since I have so student many t hings weighing on my shoulders, I find that I sometimes don’t have t he t ime to put t he most effort into my papers and homework and studying for tests can also be a struggle. This leaves me constantly worried and stressed about my grades, and I sometimes fear the worst — failing my classes. It is when I hear my professors say that I have the option to do extra credit that I regain hope. This doesn’t happen often, though, as a lot of professors choose not to offer extra credit even when their class consists of only a few grades on a midterm, a final and a paper. This puts a lot of pressure on students to do well on these few grades and will lead them to intense st ress a nd a n x iet y. Accord i ng to the A merican Psychological Association, there has been a 30 percent increase in students seeking
out counseling, and 61 percent of students report they are seeking counseling for anxiety. Offering extra credit in every class would help to relieve some of this stress and anxiety. It is not always that students are lazy or don’t care when they get sub-par grades, but sometimes is because of the stress from the overwhelming amount of work they have and having to balance the work with their everyday lives. I have a few friends who have failed classes due to doing poorly on one test and that one test score tanked their grade in the class completely. If given the option to make this up with extra credit work, that failing grade would no longer be on their transcript and they would have been able to pass. These friends also suffer with anxiety and stress and it has been shown that at USC, 27 percent of students who reported having stress said it affected their academic performance negat ively. Ext ra credit is always a reassuring thing and can relieve a bit of the stress that so many students are feeling. As classes get more advanced, additional instruction is always helpful. Students normally take about five classes per semester; therefore, they are having to retain
information from a multitude of subjects. This can sometimes lead to confusion and lack of focus in classes and the student most likely will need additional instruction. A professor’s office hours are always an option, of course, but when a student has already received low marks and has possibly lost interest, what else can they do? A professor can offer this student extra credit and can even do it in the form of attending an event, like a lecture or open discussion. This can spark the student’s interest in the subject and they’ll be more inclined to work hard if they are understanding and are interested in the subject. Even if a st udent ha s good grades in a class, they can still attend an event that could expand their knowledge on the topic and possibly interest them in some future endeavors, like research. E x t r a c re d it opp or t u n it ie s can really make a difference in a struggling student’s life. It can relieve a lot of stress, usually caused by the fear of failing classes. No student is perfect and we all have things that come up in life that make it hard to focus on work. Allowing students to make up for normal human mistakes can make a world of a difference.
Student athletes should be allowed to accept sponsorships Across the countr y, Division I athletes sign over their souls to the NCA A in order to get a taste of experiences like Williams-Brice on game day and a scholarship to college they may not have been able to afford otherwise. What they don’t necessarily realize is that, in addition to committing their body and time Sophie Winnick to their university and their sport, S e c o n d - y e a r they are also signing away their name, h o s p i t a l i t y image and likeness. and sports Universities are able to use these m a n a g e m e n t entities in any way they wish because student decades ago in the 1950s, the NCAA took it upon itself to classify collegiate athletes as “student-athletes” and required these athletes to take an “amateurism pledge.” The NCAA coined this term for its athletes and it’s how it protects the organization against antitrust lawsuits that could force the NCAA and its members to compensate players. More insidiously, the NCAA is a “nonprofit” organization and has developed a system in which everyone except the athletes who sell out the stadiums are getting paid — all while remaining tax-exempt. The NCAA and its university members should not be able to control how these athletes get paid outside of scholarships. The NCAA should not be able to prevent athletes from taking sponsorships and being recognized by for-profit companies across the world. To deny these athletes this right is appalling, particularly as it would not change the dynamic of college sports itself with the exception that elite players would now have an actual income. Why the NCAA does not want athletes to be paid by the universities themselves, despite being self-serving,
makes sense. The big-money booster schools would have an unfair advantage if they were able to offer contracts to athletes outside of their current scholarship offers. These schools, with their boosters’ help, would be able to compensate players more and the playing field would keel over forever. College sports would lose some of its mass appeal if it became a game of money ball. But to deny these elite athletes outside sponsorship deals is ludicrous. A study conducted at Drexel University found that among Division I basketball and football players, “85 percent of players living on campus and 86 percent of players living off campus” live below the federal poverty line. Furthermore, the average Division I scholarship dissatisfies basic living requirements by over $3000. Many of these athletes do not have the funds to put food on the table and, according to former star Tennessee running back Arian Foster, certain athletes take to extreme measures — like calling coaches to ask for food — to provide for themselves. The fact of the matter is that the athletes should have complete and total access to their name, image and likeness. The NCAA realized the value of these players, some worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and engineered a system in which the organization essentially owns them. The NCAA uses the amateur clause to deny athletes employee protections offered to professional players and to put money in its own pockets. The NCAA pretends they are protecting these athletes, but from what? From being able to send money home to their families? From making money off of their extraordinary talents? As Johnny Manziel so wisely stated in March, “the NCAA is a joke.” Let the athletes accept the sponsorships that would help them provide for themselves and their families — all while protecting the integrity of the game.
In low level courses, g roup projec t s a re not on ly a ter r ible teaching tool, but are also a waste of student t ime. By forcing st udent s to move C h r i s t o p h e r a rou nd a n a l ready bu s y schedu le a nd Lorensen S e c o n d - y e a r work with others that journalism student have var y ing levels of commitment, the projects become more hassle than they are worth and a poor example of group work in a company. A group of four people will have four different schedules to work around. The result of those four schedules is likely to result in about one day per week that the group can meet, and the odds of it being during normal working hours are low. This time issue is critical, and to fix it, there should be enough class time dedicated to complete a bulk of the project. The trouble is that this alternative is not viable in an introductory course since its purpose is to teach the fundamentals. The course will need the entire semester to accomplish this. So the next alternative would be to move the group work to a higher level course that can afford to sacrifice lecture time. If group projects were postponed until higher level courses that could accommodate them, similar to senior design projects in engineering schools, t hen t he project wou ld become a n efficient teaching tool. Students would have the baseline knowledge needed to complete the project and thus not need as much class time dedicated to lectures. That means the students now have a scheduled slot available to meet multiple times a week: class time. There is also the commitment level to take into consideration when placing students into groups during introductory courses. Some of the students are in the class because they want to be, but others will be there simply for the required credits. This means that, when paired together, some students may not get as much as they want out of the project. If group projects were moved to higher level courses, the class would be filled with a much larger percentage of students that have a interest in the material. This makes the group project not only more enjoyable, but also more realistic. That’s an objective that group projects in introductory courses fall short of. O ne of t he a rg u ment for g roup projects, particularly those that pair you up randomly, is that they are preparing you for some real world scenario where you will be forced to work with someone you may not get along with. Still, many companies are trying harder than ever to create teams of people that work seamlessly together. Of course, the objective may not always mirror reality, so there may be those that are despised at the workplace. However, if the manager is doing their job then they will know which people they should and should not put on projects together. A d d i t i o n a l l y, t e a m w o r k i n t h e work pl ac e u s u a l l y c ome s w it h it s own benef its. If t here is somet hing a n e mplo y e e ne e d s f r o m a not he r department, they’re going to go to the person they know will get it done. The positive attitude of that person is going to spread and the manager will award them praise and maybe even a bonus. The idea that group projects prepare students for real world work further solidifies that they should be done during class time. Companies expect the bulk of their employees, whom are paid hourly, to work during normal working hours. If the company needs a team to work over t i me, a rou nd t hei r hou sehold schedule, then they will compensate accordingly. So if the intent of group projects is to mimic a real world scenario, the instructor should compensate the students, such as putting bonus points to their grade.
