USC’s TEDx club began t wo yea rs ago w it h a few s t u d e nt s w a nt i n g t o s e e students share and learn from each other’s creative ideas. Now, it has grown into its f i r st T E D xUof SC e vent , which took place Oct. 3 at the My Carolina Alumni Center. “It’s actually been going on for about a year and a half now, so this event has been a long time in the making,” said Sean Powers, a fourth-year supply chain and operations management student and part of the TEDx club executive team. “We’re excited to have been able to part ner w it h t he u n iversit y to put t h is on , a nd we lo ok for wa rd into the future having more student involvement in the organization.” T h i rd-yea r u ndec ided student Michael Senator was brought on to the project a year ago and now serves as t he club’s president. A f ter all this time, he is thrilled to see TEDxUofSC finally happening and looks forward to the future of the club. “We’re really hoping the success of the TEDxUofSC ... will really help just spread awareness of t he club and help motivate other people to actually join,” Senator said.

Moore School adds new software program Meghan Crum @megcrum24
The Darla Moore School of Business, a highly-ranked business school for publ ic u n iver sit ie s ac ross t he cou nt r y, is c u r rent ly refocusing its undergraduate business curriculum to include t he use of statistical software. The new curriculum is designed to give students experience in data a n a l y s i s a nd prov ide a b a s i s i n business analy tics for the f ut ure. Business analytics is a concentration usually seen in graduate curricula, but the Moore School has integrated R , a prog ra m m i ng sof t wa re for statistical graphics, and other tools into its undergraduate program. The Moore School claims to be the only undergraduate business school to do so. The change is an effort to give students a competitive edge against other interviewees who have not yet learned how to analyze data using platforms like R. “We’ve really seen that a lot of companies are looking for students who are comfor t able w it h usi ng
statistical programming, and so we really just saw that it would be a good thing for students ... to really just be more competitive,” said Stacey Mumbower, director of the Center for Applied Business Analytics. The use of R was first introduced in t he Moore School by clin ical assistant professor Leslie Hendrix. After teaching an advanced statistics class using Excel, Hendrix realized that her students would benefit more from learning to use R in place of the Excel program. She piloted the first Moore School courses using R in the spring of 2018. “It’s really important to learn the computer coding with R because part of what we want to teach is something that can lead into other opportunities for t he st udent s,” Hend r i x sa id. “Once they learn the language of R, they’ll pick up on any other language very quickly.” Hendrix said that the program was a success, and that soon after, Dean Peter Brews made t he use of t he program in the class a requirement. “We are drowning in data. People know that there is data out there, but they are not sure what it tells you, what knowledge can be gained from it or how decision mak ing can be
improved by deeper analysis of the data,” Brews said. Lear n i ng t he basics of cod i ng and business analytics are now part of the regular sequence for Moore students. Program leaders see this as a necessary step in preparing students for success in the workforce. “Virtually every business executive I meet, when I mention data and I mention that we are trying to train our students to do better analytical work than has been the case up until now, it’s almost uniform, ‘That’s wonderful, when can I talk to them?’” Brews said. Fourt h-year real estate st udent Patrick Nealon was able to use his background in business analy t ics from the Moore School to earn a p o sit ion at a compa ny over t he summer. “It’s another skill that I guess a lot of students don’t have,” Nealon said. “It definitely helps to have some technology knowledge because that’s what they want to see out of young kids coming out of school.” Brews hopes that students will see the benefits of the statistics courses and complete a full concentration in business analy t ics. I n t heor y, st udents will be able to use their

Senator, Powers, Jain and the rest of the club are looking forward to planning for their next event after evaluating what went well. “I think the biggest thing is looking at how the whole event went and sitting down and seeing where were there areas where students could be involved in ... and also how can students contribute to a greater event next year,” Jain said. “How can we make it a better event, a bigger event and very student-focused?” The executive board hopes students will grow and be inspired to pursue creative problem solving in their own lives. “I’m really excited to see TEDxUofSC,” Powers said. “Not even just this one but ones moving into the future, becoming a catalyst for students to find a passion for learning, to find the things that they’re passionate about and want to explore further so that they find a way to make a positive impact on the world.”

Ignoring all films past the original 1978 version, “Halloween” picks up where the first one left off, in a “sort of ... alternate reality” according to the filmmaker. Fans of the cult classic may be disappointed that all the Halloween films aren’t included, however the 2018 version will tell more of Laurie’s story. ETHAN LAM // THE GAMECOCK

The film and album open with Cooper’s character Jack performing “Black Eyes,” a guitar-heavy rock ‘n roll tune that sets the mood for the rest of the movie and soundtrack. The soundtrack progresses, including the incorporation of Lady Gaga’s character Ally and her collaboration with Jack as she emerges onto the music scene. A s t he soundtrack develops, listeners can hear A lly almost breaking off from Jack and becoming independent in the pop scene. The soundt rack consists of original songs, and Gaga and Cooper say the song writing process happened “organically.”

One of Gaga’s purest pop hits to date, Ally performs the song in “A Star Is Born” while creating her image. The song relates back to her insecurities regarding her appearance. Its repetition of “hair, body, face” throughout the track’s 3 minutes and 22 seconds is redeemed w it h a c atchy a nd mea n i ng f u l chorus.

State Fair vendor celebrates 50 years
JACKSON STANTON @tdg_arts At the South Carolina State Fair, one can get a variety of different foods like elephant ears, fried Oreos and fried mushrooms. One particular vendor has a history of excellence and a reputation for quality fair food. Daley’s Dogs, a 50-year-old family-owned business, has multiple stands near the fair’s entrance. The vendor sells corn dogs and funnel cakes at the fair every year. The award-winning vendor is known for their unique approach to the fair classic, such as the funnel cake corn dog. “We specialize in our corn dogs,” Frances Daley said. “We do a jalapeño corn dog, we’ve done some gourmet specialty corn dogs.” Daley’s is a locally-owned company and in its third generation of family operation. The Daley family travels four months out of the year going to various fairs in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and South Carolina. The grandchildren of the stand’s founder
work at the stand full-time to bring food to guests of fairs across the region. “My grandfather started it, my dad has grown it and then we will continue on,” Daley said. “It was started in 1962 ... here in Columbia. My grandpa was in the military and he required out and got into the corn dog business.” Daley’s has been featured by the Cooking Channel’s “Carnival Eats” for its King Dog, a banana breaded corn dog with chocolate chips that guests can dip in peanut butter. The stand also has multiple awards for gourmet fair food, like their jalapeño corn dog. “When I was about five years old, the state fair did competitions for corn dogs ... we won the blue ribbon I think three years in a row. And then they stopped doing it because it got too political,” Daley said. “In the Marietta North Georgia State Fair, they do a crazy food contest and we won one year for our pickled ranch corn dog.” Daley’s Dogs is now expanding the business to include funnel cakes while still delivering corn dogs to fairgoers over 50 years after its opening.

he Columbia Jewish Film Festival, which began Oct. 7 and will cont i nue t h rough Oct. 28, gives Columbia residents an opportunity to explore the rich culture of the Jewish experience. The mission of the festival is to promote awareness, appreciation and pride through film, including history, language, people, the State of Israel and the history of the Jewish people. T he 18t h a n nua l Jew ish Fi l m Festival is a partnership between the Nickelodeon Theatre and the Katie and Irwin Kahn Jewish Community Center in Columbia. The festival offers a variet y of genres of film, including documentaries, comedies and historical dramas. With films being presented at the Nickelodeon Theatre over the next two weeks, festival director Patty Tucker hopes everyone will have the chance to be educated and entertained through what she considers some of the world’s best cinema.
A lthough the festival started in early October, there are still several films and events attendees can look forward to throughout the month. One film that Tucker thinks students would especially enjoy is “An Act of Defiance,” which is showing Tuesday. The drama follows Nelson Mandela and the events of the 1963 Rivonia Trial in South Africa. “It connects what happened in South Africa to what’s going on in our country with social justice,” Tucker said. “Scandal in Ivansk,” a film exploring the small Polish town of Ivansk and the Polish people’s complicated role in World War II, will be introduced by USC professor Federica Clementi. In addition to showing professional films, each year the festival hosts a Sout h Ca rol i na st udent shor t film showcase. This year, they are presenting four high school student films and four USC student films. Several Capstone Scholars at USC w il l show t heir f il m f rom t heir Maymester experience in Amsterdam this past spring. The winner is eligible for for prizes, and the event is open to the public and free of charge. After the showing of each film, the
festival holds a reception with wine and cheese that is open to all viewers. The recept ion is an opport unit y for the audience to discuss the film they’ve just experienced. This year’s festival aims to pull mov ies f rom a d iverse ra nge of countries in order to give audiences diverse points of view on the Jewish experience and global social justice. “This year, we really focused on an international base,” Tucker said. “We have movies from China, Poland, Israel, Argentina ... it gives people that abilit y to travel to different countries via film.” Tucker also said she hopes the film festival is a reminder that people are more alike than they are different and to embrace the differences that create humanity. “It ’s i mpor t a nt to ex per ience d i f ferent p eople’s c u lt u re s a nd understand in this tumultuous time in our country that we are more similar,” Tucker said. “We need to appreciate whatever differences we have.” Tickets to individual films and a complete schedule of remaining event s ca n be fou nd on t he Nickelodeon Theater’s website.

South Carolina continues to battle offensive struggles in 2018 season
VICTORIA RICHMAN // THE GAMECOCK The South Carolina Gamecocks dropped the ball six times against the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday as the offense looks to improve.
SHELBY BECKLER @sbeckler13 The Sout h Carolina Gamecock s have t he opportunity to turn their offense around after a tough loss to Texas A&M on Saturday. After falling to an SEC opponent for the third time this season, critics, fans and the team agree that the problem lies with the offense. Coming into the season, one of South Carolina’s reported strengths was having wide receivers that can catch the ball in difficult situations. However, that was not seen against Georgia, Kentucky or Texas A&M. Head coach Will Muschamp said the receivers’ re c e nt p er f or m a nc e s s u r pr i s e d h i m . T he Gamecocks dropped six balls against the Aggies, which ultimately cost them the game. Despite the rut that the Gamecocks are in
mid-season, Muschamp and team leaders are looking to overcome the offensive struggle with better execution. Quarterback Jake Bentley in particular recognized errors in his performance against Texas A&M. “Self-inflicted stuff, whether it was missing a throw or dropping something or missing a block just things here and there that just can’t happen and obviously can’t throw interceptions in the red-zone,” Bentley said. Despite Bent ley’s lack luster perfor mance against A&M, teammates such as wide receiver Chavis Dawkins have faith in Bentley’s strengths. Dawkins scored his first career touchdown from a pass Bentley threw to tie up the game. “He’s a fighter man,” Dawkins said. “He’s not just going to sit out because of a knee. He told me on Monday that he’s going to play if his leg was even broken. That’s just the kind of guy he is and I look up to him for that.” It seems that faith goes both ways. Muschamp

acknowledged that the two aspects of the team that will receive criticism are his coaching and Bentley’s performance, but he said that criticism is something both he and Bentley know how to deal with. Many experts agree that quarterbacks get the most flak after a lose, but this week the offense as a whole has been under scrutiny. Even with the pressure riding on the offense to get better, Bentley still has full confidence in his receivers. “They know that I’m going to keep throwing to them and I got all the faith in the world,” Bentley said. “Maybe it’s something that we as a group got to work on in practice, throw more after practice and do whatever it takes to kind of stop this from happening.” Muschamp did not point the finger at anyone after Saturday’s game, but he said the team knows there is a problem with execution on offense. “We hold ourself to a high standard in the receiving room, but we just gotta prepare better ... get more throws outside of practice and just get the timing down,” Dawkins said. Part of the offensive struggle, according to Bentley, is mentalit y. He said players have to batt le t he negat ive energ y t hat comes f rom botching a play and stay focused on completing the play that comes next. “ Hone st ly, I ju st wa nted to w i n for my teammates and do whatever it takes, whether it’s jumping over a guy, running through a guy, just whatever it takes to win,” Bentley said. “I think that’s the mindset of everyone on the team, and that’s what’s frustrating when you lose, ‘cause you want to do whatever you can to win.” From now on, Bentley said that his teammates will look to “strictly focus” on their team and what it takes to win games, especially executing timely plays and preventing contagious plays. Bent ley said he will cont inue to t hrow to his receivers regardless of the past three losses because it takes bot h t he receivers and t he quarterback to win games. “It’s been tough,” Bentley said. “It hasn’t been easy but I have unbelievable teammates and they’re there to support me all the way and I’m there to support them and that’s all you can ask for as a quarterback and as a football player ... there’s a long season ahead and we’re going to keep fighting.”

Column: Don’t give up on Bentley as QB just yet

But fans have not seen the results that were expected. After a battle win over Missouri last Saturday, the student section found its faith in back-up quarterback Michael Scarnecchia. How can a first-time starter have such an VICTORIA RICHMAN // THE GAMECOCK effect on the student body?

Make HPV vaccines mandatory for high school, college enrollment in SC If t here was a disease t hat c au sed 30,0 0 0 new c a se s of cancer ever year and had no cure, wouldn’t you want to be vaccinated against it? What about if you knew that a quarter of all men and a fifth of all women already have it? Or that many people have it but don’t know it? Dan Nelson Four th-year public Well, you’d be in luck , we health student have a vaccine and we’ve had one since 2006. The only problem? Many people don’t get it. In fact, only 27 percent of adolescents and 13 percent of adults in South Carolina receive it. This disease, in case you hadn’t figured it out yet, is human papillomavirus, HPV. HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection, STI, in the United States, with over 14 million new cases every year. Adolescents make up nearly half of these new cases, roughly 7 million a year. Luckily, we have a vaccine for it. Unfortunately, not nearly enough people get it. You may be wondering though, why get it? After all, 30,000 new cases of cancer for 14 million new infections sounds low. However, the total number of new infections doesn’t accurately inform you of the risk. HPV is not one virus, but many. There are more than 40 types of HPV that can be sexually transmitted and “15 are considered to be cancercausing.” Of these 15, two, “HPV-16 and HPV-18, cause about 70% of cervical cancers worldwide.” Certain HPV types can cause other cancers as well, such as “anal, oropharyngeal, penile, vulvar, and vaginal.” These “high-risk” types aren’t exactly uncommon either. As mentioned earlier, a quarter of all men and a fifth of all women already have it. With that in mind, why not vaccinate? After all, the vaccine, Gardasil 9, has been found to be highly effective in blocking a significant number of complications related to a variety of different cancerous strains. The answer, unfortunately, isn’t as clear as with other incidents of parents forgoing vaccinating their kids. In fact, while the rate of early childhood vaccinations in South Carolina follows the U.S. average, the HPV vaccination rate is far below it and one of the lowest in the nation. This, if anything,
indicates that there is a significant difference in perception between the two vaccination regimens. Experts have pointed out the fact that some pediatricians are uncomfortable talking to parents about the vaccine and why it’s needed. It is a conversation regarding their child’s long-term sexual health – not the easiest thing to do. Other experts have also noted that pediatricians may not push for boys to get the vaccination either, all despite the fact that it protects boys from a variety of cancers as well. These problems are not the hardest to solve, it simply requires more training and guidelines for pediatricians. The perception of the vaccine by parents, on the other hand, may be the hardest part of the equation. Some parents who don’t vaccinate their kids against HPV do so because of perception that since their child isn’t having sex or isn’t going to have sex for some time, they don’t need them to be vaccinated against a virus that is purely sexually transmitted. Other parents even believe that vaccinating their kids against HPV will somehow make them more sexually active. These points are both patently false. The first objection relies on the idea that parents have some sort of idea of when their child is likely to become sexually active. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think many parents have conversations with their kid about when they started having sex. More than that, many parents may be surprised (or perhaps not) about when most children are likely to become sexually active. According to research from the CDC, adolescents tend to become sexually active at age 17 – though this is merely the average, significant numbers of adolescents become sexually active earlier and later than 17. Also worth considering is the fact that parents really don’t have any control of whether or not and, in particular, when their child becomes sexually active. Furthermore, even if your kid does stay abstinent until marriage, it’s not like parents have any control on whether or not their future partner has also stayed abstinent. Given all these things, wouldn’t it make sense to err on the side of safety and vaccinate your kids? The second objection is laughable up until you realize people actually believe it. The fact is, the data simply doesn’t back it up. Studies have found that not only does the HPV vaccination not result
in increased sexual activity, it also doesn’t result in an increase of riskier sexual behavior (not using a condom, for example). More than data though, parents who believe this really must not know how the teenage brain functions – I don’t think any teenager really believes that they should start having sex because they they’ve been vaccinated. Ask virtually any teenager if you don’t believe me – I’m sure they’ll come to same conclusion. So, if both of these perceptions are false, then why does debunking them matter? I’ll give you a hint, it comes down to vaccine coverage. When looking at coverage rates, you’ll find that “teens living in major metropolitan areas were far more likely to get the vaccine than those living in rural areas, which may be more socially conservative.” Sounds a lot like South Carolina, doesn’t it? Perception is a particularly challenging problem. Luckily, there’s a fairly simple solution – make HPV vaccinations mandatory for enrollment in high school and college. This isn’t some off the wall, insane idea either, this is already the law in Washington D.C., Rhode Island and Virginia. Those states now have some of the highest HPV vaccination rates in the entire U.S., drastically decreasing the risk of their citizens acquiring a number of debilitating and deadly cancers down the road. A similar law in South Carolina could cut down on nearly a 100 deaths per year and save the state millions of dollars in healthcare expenditures. And this is just the impact on cervical cancer – HPV related cancers as a whole result in 580 new cancer cases a year. If we take this path, we could one day even reach the level of Australia, where cervical cancer is predicted to be virtually eliminated by 2028 in large part due to extraordinarily high vaccination coverage. So many lives that could be saved by this vaccine, why not make it mandatory? Like it or not, adolescents will have sex and many of them will become infected with HPV. But we can prevent the nastier side effects that come with it. We shouldn’t let an uncomfortable reality trump a rational solution to a pressing problem. Parents should do what’s best for their kids and lawmakers should do what’s best for their citizens – make the vaccine mandatory.
Democracies unable to solve climate change Every where y o u l o o k t o d a y, democrac y seems to be under siege. From Hungar y to t h e Ph i l ip p i n e s , democracy is clearly in crisis as populist and aut horitarian Joseph Will figures rise to power Fourth-year economics across the globe. In student addition to the usual right-wing suspects, democracy now also faces a new and potentially insurmountable adversary: our present climate catastrophe. The U.N.’s scientific panel on climate change issued a harrowing report recently that paints a grim picture of the future of the planet. By as early as 2040, the atmosphere will be 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than it was during preindustrial times. T h is seem i ngly sma l l i nc rea se in temperat ure w ill bring w it h it
worsening food shortages, droughts, wildfires and widespread environmental destruction. The authors of the report warn that in order to reverse this process, world governments will have to transform their economies and societies in a way that’s never been seen before. If these dire warnings ring true, it would likely mean at the very least a suspension of the democratic process. Certain scientists and climate activists have long been calling democracy into question, voicing concerns over its alleged inability to effectively deal with the kind of existential threat posed by climate change. James Hansen, an influential climate scientist and activist since 1988, has argued that democracy doesn’t work w it h regard to t he present issue. Li kew ise, a not her noted cl i mate scientist and activist, James Lovelock, has argued that democracy must be abandoned in order to efficaciously deal
with climate change issues. They are not alone in their democrophobia, and the U.N. report gives credence to their concerns. Fo r m y p a r t , I t o o q u e s t i o n democracy’s ability to deal with our present dilemma. If we take this U.N. report seriously, then drastic measures that may be very unpopular will have to be taken. Is there any guarantee that, if we leave these issues up to popular vote or turn them into partisan campaign topics, that the proper measures will actually be taken? People are irrational, and given the rather abstract and distant threats posed by climate change, many may very well choose to protect their short term comfort over the long term health of the planet. In the U.S., the GOP has turned climate-skepticism into a matter of party dogma and would likely fight any proposed legislation tooth and nail. Their short-sighted and self-immolative
actions on behalf of the donor class would still earn them plenty of votes, given all the voters who reflexively vote Republican regardless of the issue and those who stubbornly refuse to accept the scientific evidence. Thoreau once compared democracy to a game, a process where there is simply no guarantee that the right outcome will prevail. There is always an element of chance and uncertainty in the democratic process, and when it comes to something as crucial as the health of the planet, can we risk it? Democracy is not to be deified and treated as some sacrosanct institution that can’t be questioned. If our situation demands that we suspend democracy, as our current situation very well might, then we must do so. The UN report strongly indicates that drastic action is required immediately, and the health of the planet is not something that can be left to the gamble of the ballot box.
