Spots to be oversold

Hannah Cleaveland / THE DAILY GAMECOCK

Based on site surveys and measuring traffic patterns, the university is adding new spots in Blossom, Bull and Senate street garages as well as in the Athletic Village Garage.

More than 600 spots identified in parking garages across campus, university will sell additional parking passes

f y o u ’r e s t i l l c i r c l i n g parking lots looking for an empty spot, you’re in luck. The university has identified 600 additional parking spaces lo c at e d i n Blo s s o m St r e e t Garage, Bull Street Garage, S e n at e St r e e t G a r a g e a nd At h let ic V illage G arage through a series of site surveys that measured traffic patterns and parking site usage. “Now that we know that we have spaces available for people to reserve, they may not be in the exact garage you want to be in, they may not be in the exact lot you want to be in, but they’re there,” university spokesman Wes Hickman said. Hickman is urging students to cha nge t heir v iew of parking, just as the university has changed its view towards facilities on campus. He said in a press release that students and facult y need to look at parking through the filter of “modern, efficient, sustainable” principles. “I think that the important t hing to do is for people to recognize that we are a growing and thriving campus and we are situated in the midst of a thriving urban environment,” Hickman said. “The city along with the university, we’re both growing. It’s an exciting thing.” T he u n iversit y ’s m i ndset for the parking in the future includes four aspects: parking, mass transit, pedestrian avenues and bike avenues. H ick man encourages parking and mass transit to be considered as “two sides of the same coin.” The university has recently foc used on en ha nci ng each of t hese aspects. They have i mp r ove d bi k e a ve nue s o n Greene Street and pedestrian

avenues on Assembly Street. Out side of t he u n iversit y itself, the Comet transit line launched the Garnet Route at the beginning of the school year that transports students from the campus area to apartment complexes. They also have a downtown circulator.

“We have to rethink the way we look at parking, recognize that there are spaces available and realize that this is a transition year.” South Carolina is planning to continue to improve mass t ransit opport unit ies in t he near future, and Hickman is hoping that students embrace their efforts. “With park ing, the abilit y i n a large g row i ng u rba n env i ron ment to pa rk r ight out side of t he bu ilding you need to be in and walk right in — we can’t do that anymore,” Hick man said. “We have to realize that it really functions as a holistic look at things. It’s not just where can I park my car. It’s where I need to park

and how I can get to where I need to go from there.” Park ing garages, although t hey come at a h igher cost to bu ild and maintain, also prov ide a h igher densit y of parking. This is one way that the universit y is work ing to h a v e a n e f f i c i e nt p a r k i n g sit uat ion. T hey a re a lso working on making more daily spaces available. A daily spot turns over an average of three times a day, which is much more efficient than the reserved spot that only services one student. H ick man addit ionally ex pla i ned t h at t h is yea r is a t ra nsit ion yea r for t he u n i ver s it y. He s t at e d t h at they are working at the root of the problem by attempting to alleviate some of the daily com muter needs. T he Hub and other residential locations that are being built near the heart of campus are mak ing daily commuting less necessary for t hose residents, and t he u n i v e r s it y h o p e s t o b u i ld parking for residents as they ex pa nd hou si ng opt ion s i n western part of campus. “We have to rethink the way we look at parking, recognize that there are spaces available a nd rea l iz e t hat t h is is a transition year,” Hickman said. “We’re tight but comfortable, and we’ll relieve some of that with new residence halls. We have new classroom buildings coming online as well.”

Transgender teen, mother, TLDEF sue SCDMV The mother of a teenager who was forced to remove makeup while taking a driver’s license photo and the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund filed a federal lawsuit against the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles, WHNS reported. In June, 16-year-old Chase Culpepper was told he needed to look more like a boy before receiving a new South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles driver’s license. Culpepper, who is a transgender male, frequently wears makeup and either androgynous or female clothing. The DMV commented that they would not let Culpepper wear makeup per a policy that bans pictures where they believe someone is purposefully altering their appearance. The TLDEF said that the lawsuit was filed because they feel that the rule is unconstitutional because it is vague and arbitrary. — Collyn Taylor, Assistant News Editor

Woman attempts to climb out of police car A woman in Boiling Springs, South Carolina was arrested Monday for shoplifting at the local Walmart, WIS reported. The woman, Ashley Pitts, was caught stealing more than $180 worth of merchandise that included clothing items, a DVD and other products. She was handcuffed and placed in the back of an officer’s patrol car. The officer also noticed that while in the back of the car, Pitts had unbuckled and moved her hands from behind her to in front of her. The deputy said that she was not causing any problems and he was in her vicinity, so he did not do anything at the time. He then noticed Pitts trying to climb out of the right rear passenger door. The officer called for backup and was able to detain the suspect. Officers found a single white pill in her wallet and Pitts was charged with shoplifting enhanced, resisting arrest no assault, trespassing after warning and possession of a scheduled four narcotic. — Collyn Taylor, Assistant News Editor

Bowman becomes 1,000th Magellan Scholar Fourth-year student receives funding to research Reconstruction Natalie Pita

@NATALIEPITA

When Monica Bowman, a fourthyear history student, applied for the Magellan Grant, she was just hoping to receive some financial aid for her research project. She never expected that she would also become a representative of the prog ra m a s t he one-t hou sa ndt h Magellan Scholar. “I initially applied for the Magellan Grant because I knew I wanted to engage in undergraduate research during my undergraduate career,” B ow m a n s a id i n a n e m a i l . “A s Magellan Scholar 1,000, I hope to be a representative of the Magellan Program by sharing my experience with others and encouraging others to get involved as well. It is a wonderful program that can open many doors of opportunity.”

Bowman is conducting her research on former South Carolina Lt. Gov. R ichard Howell Gleaves, a fairly unknown politician who played an important role in South Carolina’s Reconstruction period. Bowman is specifically looking at how Gleaves’ masonic, business and political careers met, as well as why there is so little known about him. Not only was Gleaves lieutenant governor from 1872 to 1877, he was also a businessman and a freemason. “My favorite part about this project was gaining a greater understanding of how historians go about t heir research and how interpretation is vital to historical research,” Bowman said. “The hardest part about this project was finding several sources that spoke to Gleaves. He is a bit of an enigma, so I had to be creative in terms of places to look.” Since 2005 when t he Magellan Program was founded, it has provided students with nearly three million dol l a r s i n g r a nt f u nd i ng. Now,

Carolina Productions University of South Carolina Student Life

the current director of the office of undergraduate research Julie Morris is looking to continue the tradition of funding students’ research. “It was really started in order to provide students an opportunity to engage in undergraduate research, make it very visible on campus. We’d had undergraduate research for a long time at USC, but it did not have the visibility to get more students involved,” Morris said. “Being able to see it come this far and so quickly and really be embraced by the university I think is very meaningful for me.” The Magellan Program is working to encourage students from all majors and disciplines to apply for a research grant. Many of the projects that are funded, including Bowman’s, are not for scientific research. “I really love that her project is the one thousandth because it does truly highlight the discovery for every discipline,” Morris said. “We have students in all majors doing research, and I love that humanities and social

sciences can be highlighted in this way. It’s a great project that’s very representative of the scholars that we have on campus.” Morris also thinks Bowman’s project reflects the ideal mentor-researcher relat ionsh ip, as Bow ma n is ver y involved with her mentor, histor y professor Melissa Cooper. She hopes that students like Bowman continue to apply for Magellan Grants, si nce it recog n iz e s st udent s for what they are doing and gives them “confidence in what they’re doing as important and valuable.” “I think other students should apply for a Magellan Grant because it is a wonderful way to engage in research that pertains to your interests. It allows you to be creative and to learn more about your field,” Bowman said. “Additionally, you are able to build a relationship with the faculty member that serves as your advisor.”

Professor uses video games to help children Autistic children learn teamwork, leadership Natalie Pita

@NATALIEPITA

Take turns stacking pancakes with your partner. Chase your partner around on the screen using your joystick. Work together to carry the bar to the top of the screen. Those are just t he few of t he tasks Roger Newman-Norlund, an exercise science and psycholog y professor at USC, asked players to complete in his new video games. Ne w m a n-Norlu nd’s r e s e a r c h project focuses on creating video games that help children with social deficits, primarily autism but also disorders such as ADHD, develop the teamwork and leadership skills necessary for life. “The point of the research project is to design something called ‘serious video games.’ The main purpose of

these games is to actually accomplish a task, in this case to teach someone something,” Newman-Norlund said. “[These will] help kids develop social skills that they might not already have developed.”

He has used these video games t o a s s e s s t e a m wo r k i n no r m a l populations and to make them kidfriendly, but he is currently in the process of testing whether or not t hey complete t heir purpose for

autistic children. A lt hough pa rent s a nd aut ism academ ies a re of ten hesit a nt to experiment wit h new treat ments for the social deficit disorder, the South Carolina Autism Academy has announced that it will use the games in the fall alongside their traditional t herapy. New ma n-Norlu nd w il l measure the interpersonal skills of the children at the beginning and the end of their treatment. “It’s also important to get k ids with autism to play the games to see if they like them,” NewmanNorlund said. “We even hope to work with them to come up with new ideas for games to incorporate.” Although Newman-Norlund has not completed ex perimentat ion, he has already learned some of the special capabilities of the games he has designed. “ It seem s l i ke t he g a me s c a n AUTISM • 6

Parking problems cannot be wished away ISSUE University claims there are more garage spaces. OUR STANCE Students cannot count on chance when paying for a spot. You sit dow n in your f irst lecture of the day. As you fight sleep and search for a pen you he a r t he p o orly- oi led do or hinge screech across the room. People’s heads whip around and the poor soul who pushed the door hurries in and awkwardly shuff les to a seat. Who is this person? They could be a slacker or an over-sleeper, but more than likely they are the victim of the dilapidated parking situation at our university. Un iversit y representat ives have de sc r ibed t he pa rk i ng sit u at ion a s t he re s u lt of a “t r a n sit ion yea r ” for USC . However, when a student misses 20 minutes of a lecture because t hey couldn’t f ind a park ing spot , t hey ca n not tel l t he

professor they were late because the university is transitioning. Ho w e v e r, a c c o r d i n g t o parking services, this problem is improving. After no addition of spaces or decrease in cars on campus, there are 600 new spaces ava i lable i n Blossom St re et G a r a g e , Bu l l St re et

“Essentially, students are paying for services they aren’t receiving, and now the university says they can still sell more passes, depending solely on students leaving parking spaces during the day.” Garage, Senate Street Garage and At hlet ic Village Garage through a series of site surveys that measured traffic patterns and parking site usage.

W hile t his idea is all well and good, it’s hard to believe t here i s ac t u a l l y a ny mor e spaces when you actually go to park. This issue is particularly grating if you shell out between $340 and $380 a semester to be guaranteed a parking space. E s s e nt i a l l y, s t u d e nt s a r e pay ing for ser v ices t hey aren’t receiving, and now the universit y says they can still sell more passes, depending s o le l y o n s t u d e nt s le a v i n g parking spaces during the day. Students cannot continue to pay hundreds of dollars just to hope someone else is leaving precisely when they need to get to class. No mat ter what g reat construction may come in the future, students and faculty have paid to have a place to park every day this semester, and tomorrow they will still be searching for a spot. There has to be visible action to solve this problem, not just overbooking garages with the hope that enough people fail to show up every day.

Anti-rape product empowers females New nail polish provides security for women everywhere Recently four college students have created a nail polish that will change color when it detects certain types of date rape drugs. T he fou r st udent s a re f rom North Carolina State University and their invention can detect drugs such as Rohypnol, Xanax and GHB. The product is called Undercover Colors and it will change color with a quick fi nger stir of a contaminated drink. T hei r new i nvent ion is receiv i ng h igh pra ise a nd has ma ny people eager to pu rch a se it ; howe ver, some rape prevent ion act iv ists are withholding their support. In an article on Think Process, activists are saying that products such as this place responsibility on the woman and it projects the idea that women have to change their behavior to avoid assault and that shouldn’t fall on them. They believe that by adding to the “checklist” of things that

women need to do to avoid assault, society is reinforcing a pervasive rape culture. T h is reac t ion v iews t he product as a responsibility when it should be viewed as a tool of empowerment. Now I am not suggesting that women should completely let their guard down simply because they have a fresh coat of polish on; however, this is a way to allow individuals to feel as though they are active i n protect i ng t hemselves. Just as we are all taught to cover our drinks, watch the bar tender make it a nd ne ver put your drink down, we now have one mor e me t ho d t o Kathryn use as a step toward Duggan sel f- defen se. We Fourth-year are constant ly journalism student bei ng rem i nded to stay in g roups and be wary, but as many of us know once out in the crowded bars wit h a few drinks down the hatchet this is not always as easily achieved. The simple

and premeditated decision to wear this new nail polish is one comfort we can have just in case you find yourself shy of your girlfriends for a few moments. It is not the entire concept of responsibility that I disagree with rather the way they apply it. I do not place the burden of sexual abuse on women — I think it is each person’s responsibility to m a ke dec ision s a nd t a ke precautions to keep themselves safe. Regardless of gender, when you are out in social and public environments, especially when alcohol is involved, it is your sole responsibilit y to look out for yourself. Any product out there that can facilitate that should not be viewed as a burden but as an aide. W hile I do agree that it is necessary for society to focus on changing the cultural perception of rape and assault, if there are products out there that can help keep people aware and possibly protected, such as Undercover Colors, then they deser ve the support they are getting.

Female moguls are worth more than appearances Culture belittles otherwise exceptional women Angelina Jolie stands on the cover of People magazine looking down at her feet and playing with her hands in a wedding dress. Through t he photographer’s lens she is a blushing, submissive bride, the icon of marital bliss. It’s clear that she is a bride in this photo, but you wouldn’t guess she was worth $18 million. Type A ngelina’s name into Google. Now Jennifer Lawrence. Now Kate Moss. Now Ariana Grande. These are all largely successful women with blockbuster movies, and charttopping songs. But what are millions searching about them? “Nudes” “Leaked Pics” “Naked” Some of t he most successf ul women i n t he world, a nd a l l people search for is their anatomy. Women in the media are shrunk down to fl imsy words like “hot” or Kathleen “sexy” when the traits they really Schipano possess go so much deeper then Second-year their skin. Every women on the print journalism cover of a magazine has had a bad student day. She has gone through a rough break up, she has done something kind, she is a human being with f laws. Yes, even Beyoncé. By posing these real women as perfect paper dolls we commit t wo injustices: we create unrealistic expectations for women in general, and we discredit the greatness of the actual women being misrepresented. It h a s b een s a id t i me a nd t i me ag a i n that the media shows young girls the kind of unobtainable beaut y that causes eating disorders a nd years of t herapy to escape self-loat hing, but what about t he lack ing emphasis put on the actual achievements of these women? In this culture we’ve created it’s all about skin, hair and boyfriends, not philanthropy or degrees. What motivation do women have to get an education when they’re being taught that all they will be judged on is their pretty face? A nd t hen t here are t he act ua l women. Angelina Jolie’s wedding veil was covered in drawings done by her children. Is it out of the question to recognize her as a mother or a young mogul instead of a sexual object? These women do not simply become decorations because they appear on the cover of a magazine.

Networking event to inaugurate Music Farm Local music scene catches big break Erika Ryan

@RIKA_RYAN

If you’ve never seen live rap music at a business networking event, you’ve clearly never been to Music Break. Music Farm will be christening its newest location in the Vista with Columbia Opportunity Resource’s (COR) third annual Music Break, giving people a sneak peak at the venue before Music Farm’s official grand opening this Friday. W hile COR is an organizat ion aim ing to help young professionals get their career off the ground, they host events like Music Break to help people make those connections in the business community a little easier to fi nd. Described as a night of “networking for music and business leaders” Music Break is open to the public, specifically targeting the young, business driven crowd as well as upcoming musicians. Music Break gives attendees a chance to mingle with business leaders, hear some live performances and learn a bit about the music industry. This event is a u nique opport u nit y, ideal for upperclassmen and graduate st udents at USC looking to kick-start their career. “Even someone who is not involved with the music scene can benef it from Music Break because of the net work ing available with other local professionals,” Ashley Pullen, communications coordinator of COR said. This year’s year s Music Break will be featuring five artists representing five sides of the local music

scene, including Lazy A & The Green Thang, Death of Paris and Fat Rat da Czar. Music Break is not only benef icial to t he attendees looking to make business connections, but also the musicians. In an effort to showcase local musicians, Pullen explained that their goal is to “engage and retain Columbia’s talent.” A side f rom t he speakers and music performances, a complementary workshop starts an hour before the event, focusing on the general “How-To’s” of the music industry. The workshop will cover ever ything an upcoming musician would need to know how to do: record an album, book a show, promote bands and use social media. But even after a musician workshop, a night full of networking and several live performances, Music Break wouldn’t be complete without an after party. Starting at 8 p.m., the after party will feature Josh Roberts and The Hinges. Admission to Music Break is free for members of COR and musicians, but $10 to the general public to attend. With the workshop from 5 to 6 p.m., networking begins at 5:30 p.m. and live performances are to kick off at 6 p.m. Who needs to party like a rock star when you can get linked-in contacts like a rock star?

Film explores claustrophobic catacombs of Paris “As Above, So Below” Rated R

Director: John Erick Dowdle Starring: Perdita Weeks, Ben Feldman Richard Lipkin

@RICHARDMLIPKIN

“A s A b ove , S o B elow ” i s a s u s p en s ef u l , mysterious and clever movie that is ruined by more-recent, found-footage fi lm clichés. The movie follows the adventure of a witty, yet slightly impulsive archaeologist, Scarlett (Perdita Weeks), who is trying to fi nish her father’s work by discovering the Philosopher’s Stone. She leads a rag-tag group into the depths of the catacombs of Paris, and the journey quickly descends into an escapade through hell as their past comes back for vengeance. The foundat ion for t his f ilm is great; t he characters are introduced well and the pacing of the action adds a lot of dramatic tension that lures the audience into the movie. “As Above, So Below” is a fi lm that would have been great, but director John Erick Dowdle opted for a predictable foundfootage fi lm that places emphasis on a headacheinducing shaky camera and jump-cut editing to milk every scare out of the audience possible. The movie does create an atmosphere thick with intrigue and mystery. The catacombs provide the perfect backdrop for some claustrophobic terror. Surprisingly, some of the best experiences to be had with the movie are not the scariest. Taking a page from films like “The Da Vinci Code,” and “Indiana Jones,” there are puzzles the crew has to solve in order to move deeper through the catacombs. The theater was buzzing

with people murmuring to friends and family trying to decipher the mysteries of the crypt. It was thoroughly enjoyable to see the cleverness of Scarlett, and her partner George (Ben Feldman) as they interpreted conclusions from symbols t h rough personal ex perience a nd bit s f rom commonly understood history. As the movie’s heroine, Scarlett really makes this fi lm enjoyable to watch. She is a mix between the cunning of Indiana Jones and the brave, adventurous spirit of Lara Croft from “Tomb Raider.” Her impulsive character drives the movie forward, and she is still quite relatable. However, the flaw with spectacular main characters is that they often pull away from all the others in the film. Everyone else seemed like dead weight,

or lambs that were dragged along simply to be slaughtered. A good horror fi lm builds tension slowly, always prepping the viewer for a scare to happen at any moment, then hitting them right when they least expect it. The tight corridors, and the fear of hell-wrought mutilation make for some great anticipation, but the delivery is lackluster at best, and unintentionally hilarious at worst. Still, “As Above, So Below” is a fun movie that is worth at least a watch, and there are plenty of elements that viewers can relate to. But the style of this found-footage fi lm really hinders a genuinely intriguing and intensely creepy premise. DG

As part of this project, he collaborated on building a social robot that could work with humans. “A lot of our st uf f was applied towards robotics.

He especially loves showing off his work. “I get to watch my kids play the new versions of the games I come up with,” Newman-Norlund said. “It’s very rewarding to watch them laughing and joking around as they play the new games.”

Overtime goal powers men past Clemson

Sophomore midfielder Koty Millard came away from Tuesday’s match scoring the golden goal in the Gamecocks’ 2-1 overtime win. The team is 2-0 this year.

Heavy rain and lightning did not put a damper on a lively atmosphere during Tuesday night’s men’s soccer matchup between South Carolina and Clemson. Along with the players, 3,555 fans had to wait more than an hour and a half after the scheduled 7 p.m. start before the Tigers and Gamecocks finally kicked off. A nd boy, was it worth the wait. After junior midfielder Ryan Arambula was sent off for receiving his second yellow card of the match, South Carolina (2-0) battled back, pulling off a 2-1 victory in overtime. Each team had a pair of second half penalties, including one in the 88th minute by Gamecock redshirt freshman Mikkel Knudsen, which forced extra time. That set up South Carolina sophomore midfielder Koty Millard to play the hero. In the 103rd minute, Millard received a pass along the right side of the six-yard box from Knudsen and slipped it through Clemson keeper Andrew Tarbell’s legs for the winning score. “Honestly, I didn’t do anything special,” Millard said after the game. “I just made a run and Mikkel

played a great ball through. I got kind of lucky on the finish and it went in so that works.” Millard said he was trying to put the ball on frame, and it was more luck than anything that it found its way through the keeper’s legs. The crowd at Stone Stadium realized right away there was no love lost between these two teams, as right out of the gate in the first minute Clemson freshman Oliver Shannon had a late challenge on South Carolina junior Jeffrey Torda, earning a yellow card. In the 23rd minute, Torda came back with a hard slide tackle of his own. He was whistled for a foul, but immediately pushed to the ground by Clemson’s Ara Amirkhanian. No yellow cards were issued at that moment, but one could sense more would come soon. Forearms to t he back and ext ra curricular shoving and pushing were prevalent in the match. Amirkhanian picked up an overdue yellow card in the 31st minute after another late tackle. Clemson almost went ahead right before half when the Tigers’ Diego Campos hit a wonder strike several feet from outside the right part of the box that curved toward the goal, but hit the crossbar and trickled away. The Gamecocks went down to 10 men after Arambula picked up his second yellow card of the match. Sophomore goa l ie Marco Velez made t wo remarkable saves right after that from close range

and ended up with five stops on the night. Another questionable call by the official led to a Clemson penalty, which Amirkhanian converted in the 68th minute. The game swung in the Gamecocks’ favor in the 82nd minute after Amirkhanian picked up a second yellow on a hard tackle, which reduced each squad to 10 men. That helped give South Carolina life in Knudsen and Millard’s goals. Clemson outshot the Gamecocks 24 to seven, but that was largely due to South Carolina playing with 10 men for 30 minutes. There were five yellow cards and two reds during the match. Head coach Mark Berson was thrilled that his team fought through playing man down for so long to muscle out a victory. “That takes an immense amount of energy and emotion to deal with, and we’re a goal down,” he said. “So, the heart of our guys and the grit was unbelievable. It was a team effort for the guys. They deserved it.” Berson added that the fans changed the game and them staying the entire game helped the Gamecocks push through adversity to win. “We had a really nice crowd for the thunderstorms and bad weather,” he said. “To have this place as full as it was, was outstanding. Our players play for their teammates and play for their classmates.” DG

Junior Will Starke finished one shot under par over the weekend, which tied him for 13th place at the Carmel Cup. Starke’s finish was the second best on the team. his play especially his second round, but highlighted several areas of his play he plans on working at as the season progresses. “As the season continues, I need to work on both my short game and driving accuracy. I noticed that I lost a few shots this week from those two areas. This past weekend I hit my irons really well and also putted well. Like I said, I want to improve my

short game and driving accuracy, but also I want to keep getting stronger mentally,” Sturgeon said. The men’s team will participate in the Carpet Capital Collegiate Cup this upcoming weekend at the Farm Golf Club in Rocky Face, Georgia.
