Prof kisses pig for charity

Keri Goff/ THE DAILY GAMECOCK

USC accounting professor Mariah Lynch was the winner of ESA’s Kiss the Pig fundraiser for the second year in a row.

The USC service sorority Epsilon Sigma Alpha held its annual Kiss The Pig fundraiser event in front of Russell House Wednesday.

The fundraiser, which involved nominating prominent USC faculty members, administrators and athletes for the honor of kissing a pig mascot on Greene Street, raised approximately $760 for the Saint Jude’s Children’s Hospital national foundation, which is Epsilon Sigma Alpha’s major philanthropy organization.

Mariah Lynch, a USC accounting professor, won the privilege of kissing the pig mascot on Wednesday for the second year in a row.

She beat out several prominent candidates in the fundraiser, including USC President Harris Pastides, USC football players Chris Smelley and Ryan Succop and USC Student Body

President Andrew Gaeckle.P r e s i d e n t o f S t u d e n t B o d y

Ambassadors Stephen Wright, Carolina Productions President Ashley Wood, cl in ica l assistant professor Kara Montgomery, accounting professor Ted Rogers and international business professor Andrew Spicer were also in the running.

The sorority previously had the winner kiss a real pig during the event, but according to Lindsay Parks, the Epsilon Sigma Alpha St. Jude’s chair, circumstances made it hard to do so.

“I did put in a lot of time trying to fi nd a handler who would bring a pig to the event,” Parks said. “Their concern was that the pigs would catch diseases from being around humans.”

Maria Culbertson, a third-year management and marketing student and Epsilon Sigma Alpha publicity chair, said money is raised by ESA members walking around in front of the Russell House for a week and asking students to donate money in the name of one of the nominees.

The nominees also raised money themselves by asking family, friends and

students to donate for the fundraiser.Culbertson said Lynch consistently

raises a lot of money for the annual event and that this year used interesting means to do so.

“Lynch reportedly told students that if they donated money to the cause and ended up winning, she would cancel classes,” Culbertson said.

Last year, Epsilon Sigma Alpha, an organization dedicated to education, service and sisterhood, raised $645, an amount which had already been surpassed the night before this year’s event.

To a d v e r t i s e t he e v e nt , t he organization handed out f liers and T-shirts and made an event page on Facebook.

Culbertson said participation in the fundraiser throughout the last week was high, with about 10 to 15 members asking for money in front of Russell House for from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every day.

Presidential race tightens in fi nal week

WASHINGTON (AP) — The presidential race tightened after the fi nal debate, with John McCain gaining among whites and people earning less than $50,000, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll that shows McCain and Barack Obama essentially running even among likely voters in the election homestretch.

The poll, which found Obama at 44 percent and McCain at 43 percent, supports what some Republicans and Democrats privately have said in recent days: that the race narrowed after the third debate as GOP-leaning voters drifted home to their

party and McCain’s “Joe the plumber” analogy struck a chord.

Three weeks ago, an AP-Gf K survey found that Obama had surged to a seven-point lead over McCain, lifted by voters who thought the Democrat was better suited to lead the nation through its sudden economic crisis.

The contest is still volatile, and the split among voters is apparent less than two weeks before Election Day.

“I trust McCain more, and I do feel that he has more experience in government than Obama. I don’t think Obama has been around long enough,” said Angela Decker, 44, of La Porte, Ind.

But Karen Judd, 58, of Middleton, Wis., sa id, “Obama certainly has suf f icient qualifi cations.” She said any positive feelings about McCain evaporated with “the outright

PIC OF THE DAY

Crime Report

LONDON — London buses have God on their side — but not for long, if atheists have their way.

The s ides of some of London’s red buses wi l l soon carry ads assert ing there is “probably no God,” as nonbelievers fight what they say is the preferential treatment given to religion in British society.

Organizers of a campaign to raise funds for the ads said Wednesday they received more t ha n $113,0 0 0 i n donat ions, a lmost seven times their target, in the hours since they launched the project on a charity Web site. Supporters include Oxford University biologist R icha rd Dawk i ns , who donated $9,000.

The money will be used to place posters on 30 buses carrying the slogan “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.” The plan was to run the ads for four weeks starting in January, but so much money has been raised that the project may be expanded.

“A lot of people say trying to organize atheists is like herding cats. The last couple of days shows that is not true,” said comedy writer Ariane Sherine, who started the campaign.

While most London buses carry posters for shops or Hollywood movies, Christian churches and Muslim groups have bought bus-side ad space in the past.

Sherine came up with the idea after seeing Christian posters on London buses.

Propert y and casualt y insurers are hoping a new facil it y coming to South Carolina will do for home bu i ld ing what a s imi lar testing facility in Virginia has done for car safety.

The Institute for Business and Home Safety announced Wednesday it s plans to build a $27 million research facility in Chester County that will allow scientists to see exactly what winds from a Category 3 hurricane do to a 1,800-square-foot, two-story home.

Researchers also will look at the ef fect of hai l and wind-blown fire on home construction.

“This is going to be the controlled experiment that we’ve been looking for for quite some time,” said Scott Schiff, director of Clemson Un iver s it y ’s W i nd a nd St r uc t ura l Eng ineer ing Research Facil it y, which tests construction materials in high winds. “They will be able to do f u l l-sca le destructive testing.”

The Insurance Center for Building Safety lab will be big enough to hold a full house. Researchers also will be able to let houses sit in the elements to see how aging affects their ability to withstand different weather.

T he g o a l , s a y s Ju l ie Rochman, president and chief executive offi cer of the Institute for Business and Home Safety, is to minimize damage.

The Institute for Business and Home Safety, funded by property and casualty insurers, will also be paying for the research facility.

B O W L I N G G R E E N , Ky. — Western Kentucky Un i ver s i t y wa s lo c ke d down for about three hours Wednesday after reports of gunmen on campus, but offi cials said they could fi nd no evidence that shots had been fired or that anyone had a weapon.

Someone reported seeing people with weapons in a building on a satellite campus and police later received reports that shots had been fi red on the main campus.

Police searched a South Campus building but did not fi nd any people with guns or witnesses who could confi rm those reports.

Short ly before 1 p.m., the university sent a text message warning students to seek shelter after reports of shots fi red in or near Pearce Ford Tower residence hall, though those reports were also unconfi rmed.

Officials said there was some type of fi ght in or near the residence hall, though it did not involve weapons.

“We did have a fi ght and initial reports were that a weapon was involved but that has not been confirmed,” said Bob Skipper, director of media relations for the school. “We actually had reports of three different f ights, one on our south campus about a mile from our main campus.”

He said he did not know whether the f ights were connected.

Spokeswoman Robbin Taylor said four people were being questioned by police but no charges had been fi led. — The Associated Press

lying” in TV ads and his choice of running mate Sarah Palin, who “doesn’t have the correct skills.”

The new AP-GfK head-to-head result is a departure from some, but not all, recent national polls.

O b a m a a n d M c C a i n w e r e essentially tied among likely voters in the latest George Washington Universit y Bat t leground Pol l , conducted by Republican strategist E d G o e a s a n d D e m o c r a t i c pollster Celinda Lake. In other surveys focusing on likely voters, a Washington Post-ABC News poll and a Wall Street Journal-NBC News survey have Obama up by 11 points, and a poll by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center has him leading by 14.

Polls are snapshots of highly fl uid campaigns. In this case, there is a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points; that means Obama could be ahead by as many as 8 points or down by as many as 6. There are many reasons why polls differ, including methods of estimating likely voters and the wording of questions.

Charles Franklin, a University of Wisconsin pol it ical science professor and polling authority, said variation between polls occurs, in part, because pollsters interview random samples of people.

“If they al l agree, somebody would be doing something terribly wrong,” he said of polls. But he also said that surveys generally fall within a few points of each other, adding, “W hen you get much beyond that, there’s something to explain.”

The AP-Gf K survey included i nter v iews w it h a nat iona l ly representat ive random sample totaling 1,101 adults, including 800 deemed likely to vote. For the entire sample, the survey showed Obama ahead 47 percent to 37 percent. He was up by five points among all registered voters, including the likely voters.

A signif icant number of the inter v iews were conducted by dialing a randomly selected sample of cell phone numbers, and thus this poll had a chance to reach voters who were excluded from some other

polls.It was taken over fi ve days from

Thursday through Monday, starting the night after the candidates’ fi nal debate and ending the day after former Secretary of State Colin Powell broke with the Republican Party to endorse Obama.

McCain’s strong showing is partly attributable to his strong debate performance; Thursday was his best night of the survey. Obama’s best night was Sunday, hours after the Powell announcement, and the full impact of that endorsement may not have been captured in any surveys yet. Future polling could show whether either of those was merely a support “bounce” or something more lasting.

During their fi nal debate, a feisty McCain repeatedly forced Obama to defend his record, comments and associations. He also used the story of a voter whom the Democrat had met in Ohio, “Joe the plumber,” to argue that Obama’s tax plan would be bad for working class voters.

“I think when you spread the wea lt h a rou nd , it ’s good for everybody,” Obama told the man with the last name of Wurzelbacher, who had asked Obama whether his plan to increase taxes on those earning more than $250,000 a year would impede his ability to buy the plumbing company where he works.

O n We d n e s d a y, M c C a i n’s campaign unveiled a new TV ad that features that Obama quote, and shows different people saying, “I’m Joe the plumber.” A man asks, “Obama wants my sweat to pay for his trillion dollars in new spending?”

Since McCain has seized on that line of argument, he has picked up support among white married people and non-college educated whites, the poll shows, while widening his advantage among white men. Black voters still overwhelmingly support Obama.

T h e R e p u b l i c a n a l s o h a s improved his rating for handling the economy and the f inancial crisis. Nearly half of likely voters think their taxes will rise under an Obama administration compared with a third who say McCain would raise their taxes.

Since the last AP-GfK survey in late September, McCain also has:

—Posted big gains among likely voters earning under $50,000 a year; he now trails Obama by just 4 percentage points compared with 26 earlier.

—Surged among rural voters; he has an 18-point advantage, up from 4.

—Doubled his advantage among whites who haven’t fi nished college and now leads by 20 points. McCain and Obama are running about even among white college graduates, no change from earlier.

—Made modest gains among whites of both genders, now leading by 22 points among white men and by 7 among white women.

—I mproved s l ight ly among whites who are married, now with a 24-point lead.

— Na r r o w e d a g a p a m o n g unmarried whites, though he still trails by 8 points.

McCain has cut into Obama’s advantage on the questions of whom voters trust to handle the economy and the financial crisis. On both, the Democrat now leads by just 6 points, compared with 15 in the previous survey.

Obama still has a larger advantage on other economic measures, with 44 percent saying they think the economy will have improved a year from now if he is elected compared with 34 percent for McCain.

Intensity has increased among McCain’s supporters.

A month ago, Obama had more strong supporters than McCain did. Now, the number of excited supporters is about even.

Eight of 10 Democrat s a re supporting Obama, while nine in 10 Republicans are backing McCain. Independents are about evenly split.

Some 24 percent of likely voters were deemed st i l l persuadable, m e a n i n g t h e y w e r e e i t h e r undecided or said they might switch candidates. Those up-for-grabs voters came about equally from the three categories: undecideds, McCain supporters and Obama backers.

POLL ● Continued from 1

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Four Southeastern cities could save mil l ions of gal lons of water a day by repairing leaks, replacing fixtures and raising water prices, according to a report released Wednesday by an advocacy group to protect rivers.

C o n s e r v a t io n i s a l e s s expensive and more practical solution to the region’s water problems than building dams to create new reservoirs, American Rivers concluded in its report, “Hidden Reservoir.”

“We’re sit t ing on top of a forgotten water supply. It’s in our kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, in our yards and gardens,” said Gerrit Jobis, Southeast regional director for the group.

T h e r e p o r t e s t i m a t e s conservation could save up to 210 million gallons of water a day in Atlanta, 47 million gallons a day in Charlotte, 20 million gallons a day in Raleigh and 27 million gallons a day in Columbia.

The Southeast has spent much of this decade in a drought, and water shortages have crept across the region. A recent World Wildlife Fund study found that global warming will bring higher temperatures and more extreme droughts, likely ending the region’s traditionally easy and inexpensive access to water.

The report said building dams and new reservoirs should be the last resort to solving water problems because they’re

expensive and lose more water to evaporat ion. Off icials in Georgia recently suspended plans to spend $40 mill ion on new reservoirs because of a budget crisis caused by the economic downturn.

“ D a m s a r e e x p e n s i v e , destructive and shortsighted. Water e f f ic ienc y, on t he other hand, is cost-effective, proven and timely,” said John Ramsburgh, Chapter Director for the Sierra Club of South Carolina.

But dams and reservoirs aren’t the only solution to storing water. One At lanta g roup proposed storing rainwater in large underground aquifers so it’s less likely to evaporate during droughts, said Michael Mikota, a research associate for the South Carolina Water Resources Center at Clemson University.

Water managers in Charlotte agreed with the message in the report but said it overstated how much water the Charlotte-Mecklenburg system could save through conservation in part because it used the highest day of usage last year for the system instead of a yearly average, spokesman Vic Simpson said.

“We’ve been doing most of these best management practices for years,” said Simpson, who added that average customer water use in the system has declined for the past fi ve years.

The report details nine ways the region can save water, like requiring separate water meters for large landscaping projects and charging more for that water. The report estimates water use would decline 35 percent if new, water-effi cient f ixtures were put into older buildings and homes.

“It’s not very expensive, and it’s an easy way to stretch the water supply,” Jobis said.

The USC Police last night had the courtesy not to use the b-word: bomb. Unfortunately, they also had the discourtesy not to use any words at all, def lecting any and all questions concerning the Russell House evacuation to University Spokesman Russ McKinney.

Remaining tight-lipped is understandable in a crisis, and making statements that turn out to be untrue is potentially dangerous and irresponsible.

But even several hours after the evacuation ended, police still wouldn’t explain what happened. Given the extensive use our student union receives every day, students have a right to know whether they are safe

and why.If the police don’t know what happened, then who

does? And if they do know, why won’t they say so?The university generally deserves praise, however,

for taking the situation seriously, even if it was a false alarm. No one should complain about the 10 extra minutes they had to wait for their Starbucks fi x — just think of how Virginia Tech administrators were positively berated for their inability to react to the shootings. Sadly, it’s impossible to overreact to threats on college campuses in this era.

But the lines of communication should remain open. What is being done to prevent this from happening again? And what exactly did happen? It shouldn’t take days of calls to fi nd out exactly what took place in the Russell House Tuesday night.

Recent lawsuit to seize Internet domains grossly violates citizens’ rights

Kentucky is on the move — better watch your back.

Recent ly, Kent uck y Governor Steve Beshear moved to seize 141 domain names registered to Internet gambling sites, fi ling suit in Franklin County Circuit Court. The move, which came with essentially no

w a r n i n g , targets some of the biggest f i r m s . T h e g o v e r n o r c l a i m s t h e s i t e s a r e unreg ulated a n d “ a r e leeches on our communities.”

B u t h e doesn’t mean leeches in a

moral sense. Apparently, there is nothing wrong with gambling — Kentucky allows betting at racetracks and has a lottery. One of Beshear’s primary campaign points was legalizing casino gambling. Doing so, he claimed at the time, would bring an additional $500 million in revenues to the state — to be spent wisely, of course.

No, he doesn’t mind gambling. Beshear just wants a monopoly. The

hypocrisy of the situation is somewhat astounding: Kentucky residents should be allowed to place wagers with the state and taxpaying companies, but no one else.

Can you imagine if Wal-Mart took such a stance? By Beshear’s logic, Target probably steals millions, nay, billions of dollars a year.

Perh ap s e ve n more troubling is his proposed solution: Once the domains are t ransferred to the state, they will be blocked from Kentucky residents. Apparently censorship is an appropriate response to the runaway criminal wave that is online gambling.

It ’s not l i ke t h i s i s new ter r itor y for t he “g a mbl i ng ” i ndu s t r y. After the 2006 passage of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, many online sites shut down their U.S. operations, including PartyPoker, the industry leader at the time. After the UIGEA passed, the company’s stock price dropped over 60 percent.

Some firms continued, however, arg u ing that poker is a game of skill and therefore doesn’t fall under the umbrella of gambling. At the very nexus of the debate remains the fact that playing online poker isn’t even illegal in a vast

majority of states. The UIGEA simply restricts f i na nc ia l i n s t it ut ions f rom faci l itat ing some transactions.

Based on the facts, it seems as though Beshear was simply out to prove a point, albeit a positively stupid one, and the case would be dismissed without much fanfare. Unfortunately, this has not proven to be the case. Judge Thomas Wingate last week denied requests by Interact ive Media Entertainment and Gaming Association and the Interactive Gaming Council to dismiss the case. A final forfeiture hearing has been scheduled for November 17.

It should be clear the fight is less over morals and integrity than over dollars and cents (although it certainly doesn’t have a ny t h i n g t o do w i t h common sense). Beshear is simply using the oft-maligned Internet gaming industry as a vehicle to exert a government-sponsored monopoly — t h rough censorship. Whether you agree with online poker or not is irrelevant. Keeping an eye on this story will be important in the coming weeks, for the outcome cou ld r ad ica l ly shape the f uture of Internet commerce.

Education shouldn’t be fi rst for new budget cutsState legislators should trim fat without hurting long-term growth outlook

A s a n a t i v e S o u t h Carolinian, I know all too well the indifferent attitude that our state government has toward education. To be fair, the state government has done some great things for education in the past decade, and for col lege students in particular.

They have instituted the S.C. Educat ion Lot ter y which has increased the

n u m b e r o f s c h o l a r s h i p s a v a i l a b l e t o South Carolina students. More recent ly, they

have increased the award for LIFE and Palmetto Fellows scholarship recipients up to $7,50 0 a nd $10 ,0 0 0 respectively for science and math majors. This has made huge strides in retaining the most gifted students from going to more attract ive out-of-state colleges.

But with the projected $ 2 32 m i l l i o n b u d g e t s hor t f a l l , I a m a f r a id that these advances wil l b e w ip ed away b y ou r state government . Gov. Mark Sanford has already ment ioned educat ion as one of the major sources of budget cuts. Need I remind the governor that the reason South Carolina has been the laughingstock of the nation is because of our state’s re s i s t a nce to spend i ng m o n e y o n e d u c a t i o n ? Doesn’t it make sense that our economy will greatly benefi t from an overall more educated population?

Gov. Sanford has bragged about bringing more jobs to t he s t ate a nd, more specif ical ly, more high-tech jobs. News fl ash, Gov. Sanford: South Carolinians won’t be benefitting from these jobs unless they are fi rst educated and prepared to t ake t hem on. Some may a rg ue t hat t a k i ng away scholarship money isn’t exactly detrimental to college students because they just take out student l o a n s t o f u n d t h e i r education.

Well, graduat ing with debt isn’t exact ly smart, nor is winding up with a loan that takes 30 years to pay of f. That doesn’t exactly sound great for the economy, either. The state government has done great things for college students in recent years and has given us reason to stay in state, but I hope that the gover nor a nd G ener a l Assembly think twice before cutting education funding, par t icu larly for col lege students.

I urge voters to think of the future of the state and decide whether they want the same apathet ic attitude toward education that prevailed until the Jim Hodges administration — or if they want something bet ter. A s we prog res s through the 21st century, it is apparent that South Carolina needs to catch up with the rest of the world, s t a r t i ng w it h t he nex t generation of workers. The state government needs to support our students and our future and reject any attempts to cut education funding.

Alcohol program focuses on irrelevant facts, has few benefi ts for students

Halloween is right around the corner, and that means the horror films will be viewed on my television. In my opinion, there just isn’t a better one than Alfred Hitchcocks’s “Psycho.” No matter how many times I see it, that shower scene and

t he hou se behind the Bates Hotel still get me.

B u t o n c a m p u s , t h e r e i s something m o r e ter r i f y i ng t h a n a s o c io p a t h w i t h a v e n d e t t a a g a i n s t

attractive women — the M y S t u d e n t B o d y. c o m alcohol test.

It was last reported in this publication that over half of the freshman class hadn’t completed the survey and would be unable to register for class next semester. O ut s ide of ju s t p l a i n forgetting and putting it on the back burner, some have

said that they have diffi culty logging into the site, while some simply can’t achieve the 80 percent needed to pass. The hassle of having to notify MyStudentBody to get an actual working password is a time waster, and it is infuriating to get stuck on 75 percent.

But the truth is this is simply an empt y scare tactic, a public relations move by our university that is best suited for the movies.

The “test” is simply 20 or so of the same recycled quest ions t hat can be memorized or eventually passed through simple trial and error if all else fails. Since the test is so simplistic, it fails to address the issues with underage and binge drinking, along with alcohol dependence and abuse. And even though we are supposed to work on an honor system, the temptation to get one of your friends who passed the test to help is something no pledge could pass on at the beck and call of his frat brother.

R e a l l y , h o w d o e s learning what part of the brain alcohol affects really teach me what I need to k now about a lcohol

awareness? You never saw people try to f igure out why Freddie Kruger killed people in their sleep, and I don’t need to know that the hippocampus helps with coordination and is distorted with the presence of alcohol.

T he te s t doe s have some useful information, such as what to do if your roommate is suffering from alcohol poisoning. I do give the school credit for trying something, but the system currently in use simply doesn’t cut it.

If they desire to have a l l s t u d e n t s b e c o m e k now le dg e ab le ab out alcohol, put this in the established curriculum of Universit y 101 and make it mandatory for all students. Include videos, guest speakers who were victims of alcohol’s dark side and anything else that can express the dangers of alcohol abuse, binge drinking, alcohol poisoning — anything associated with alcohol awareness.

That way, the school can strike fear in the hearts of its students by revealing t he t r u e e f f e c t s a nd consequences of alcohol abuse.

obsessing aboutthisweek

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin made her much-anticipated debut on Saturday Night Live this past weekend. The episode brought SNL its highest ratings in 14 years, according to estimates by Nielson Media Research . The program opened with the real Sarah Palin speaking to executive producer Lorne Michaels backstage. In the meantime, Palin’s spokesman presented opening remarks at a press conference ordering reporters to not use “recording devices and don’t write anything down.” Palin look-alike Tina Fey

sarcastically touched on various political hot topics. She poked fun at McCain’s angry demeanor and said, “[Obama] makes John McCain sound like a garbage truck unloading trash in a landfi ll.” The highlight: Seth Myers wrote a rap for Palin to perform. But she was uncomfortable doing it, so very pregnant Amy Poehler performed the rap for the Alaskan governor, complete with backup Eskimos and the shooting of a moose. As Poehler chanted, “All the mavericks in the house put your hands up,” Palin joined in raising the roof.

Apple now boasts a new MacBook with an updated, more sophisticated design. The notebook includes a n a lu m i nu m u n ibody enclosure, an ult rathin LED-backlit display, five t i me s f a s ter N V I DI A graphics performance and a new smooth glass multi-touch trackpad.

Jony Ive, Apple’s senior vice president of design, sa id t hat t rad it iona l ly notebooks are made from mult iple parts but that Apple has decided to create a notebook with aluminum — a thinner, lighter and more robust mater ia l . Apple gets brownie points for their environmentally friendly efforts, using green materials and processes from start to finish. The notebook i s produced w it h h igh ly recyclable a l u m i n u m a n d g l a s s enclosures plus 41 percent smaller packaging, which has less paper — meaning

smaller boxes, fewer planes and less fuel to transport. The LED light has several advantages, both aesthetic and energy-ef f icient. It uses 30 percent less power than a standard display, t urns on more qu ick ly

The festive combination of steamed milk and espresso made with a creamy blend of chocolate and peppermint is sure to enliven your taste buds through the newly colder climate. The drink was originally introduced as a seasonal coffee fl avor during the winter holidays. But because of the drink’s positive customer feedback and high popularity, Starbucks replaced the Crème de Menthe syrup with peppermint syrup and the drink was made available year-round upon request. So forget about biting into a peppermint patty — order the peppermint mocha the next time you hit up a coffee shop. Topped with whipped cream and red sprinkles, this sweet, creamy and minty drink is sure to put a smile on your face.

The Association of African American Students will hold their annual fashion show tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the Russell House Ballroom.

The theme of tonight’s show is “Ready to wear, with a twist,” featuring items that are different yet still affordable. The idea behind this show is to make a collection people usually wouldn’t put together and make it work.

“Why buy a knockoff when you can make your own thing?” said second-year marketing student Dezmon Gilmore, one of the program’s organizers. With eclectic pieces donated by Target, gathered at Goodwill or made by student designers, tonight’s show is all about making your own style. Besides the uniqueness of the clothing modeled tonight, show goers can also expect much diversity.

“This fashion show is New York, Japan, Paris and St. Croix, so it shows many different cultures on one stage,” said Gilmore.

Brad Bou lt i nghouse , a second-yea r f a sh ion merchandising student, encourages students to come to the show tonight because it will showcase “not only previously known designers but up-and-coming designers as well so that students can get noticed.”

Boultinghouse is one of these designers. He has created his own line titled Aholic that will be highlighted in the show. Brad’s pieces include a plaid dress and skinny

jeans. Brad also makes wedding dresses and will launch a lingerie line to accompany Aholic in the spring.

Boult inghouse said his inspirat ion comes from “subcultural art and music that hasn’t been in the spotlight” and that his line “tests the limit between upscale and casual fashion.” Boultinghouse’s line has also been featured in a live show in downtown Greenville.

He summed up his collect ion by saying, “The awkward becomes the eccentric and the eccentric becomes the Aholic.”

The AAAS has been putting on this fashion show for over 15 years . Proceeds of the show will go toward operations of the organization. These include the AAAS’s philanthropy, leadership retreats and “Voices of Color.” The group’s charity is the Oliver Gospel Mission, a homeless shelter. “Voices of Color” has previously been the association’s twice-a-semester newsletter, but this year it is being converted into a literary magazine. “Voices of Color” will contain art, poetry and songs created by students.

Randy Gaines, president of the AAAS and a fourth-year sport and entertainment management student, said that this show is not only an opportunity for students to see the latest trends in fashion, but also an “opportunity for students within the college to see their colleagues and classmates at work and support them.”

Gaines said the AAAS has a family atmosphere and asks students to “come out and support our brothers and sisters.”

Tickets to the event are $7 and may be purchased upon arrival. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m.

The Daily Gamecock ● THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2008

Admittedly, South Carolina isn’t known for the quality of its Asian-themed restaurants, but a handful of eateries defy this stereotype. Pho Viet, one of Columbia’s only Vietnamese restaurants, uses authentic fl avors and exotic offerings to prove that the Midlands are home to delicious Vietnamese food.

Pho Viet’s appetizers defi nitely shouldn’t be missed. The Vietnamese spring rolls (which are also offered with entirely vegetarian ingredients) definitely aren’t your mother’s straight-from-the-freezer microwavable egg rolls. The spring rolls are wrapped in transparent rice papers, which do little except hold the rest of the ingredients together. As a result, the rest of the ingredients stand out, and the spring rolls are light, instead of heavy and fi lling. The combination of cool mint sprigs and crunchy rice vermicelli was especially satisfying. Although the spring rolls are served with a creamy peanut sauce, they can be served with fi sh sauce upon request. While I was skeptical at my server’s recommendation, the fi sh sauce was light and sweet and hardly tasted like fi sh at all.

A lthough Pho Viet offers a variety of tradit ional entrees, ranging from beef rolls to rice plates, the best option is noodle soup, called pho, for which the restaurant is named. The soups themselves are basic and consist of broth (chicken, beef or vegetable), steamed cabbage,

celery, bok choy and either rice noodles or yellow egg noodles. In addition to this, the pho can be served with tofu, chicken, seafood or any number of types of beef. The vegetarian soup is good but at times f lavorless. Instead, opt for pho with chicken or brisket.Possibly Pho Viet’s best offering is its beverage menu.

Their jelly pearl drinks are creamy and icy and are served with small tapioca “pearls,” which add a chewy texture to the beverage. Pho Viet also offers a number of smoothies, which range in fl avor from soursop to the surprisingly delicious avocado. My favorite was the vanilla pearl drink, but the fl avors range from the exotic — such as watermelon and coconut — to more traditional fl avors such as Thai tea and taro root.

Although the food and service at Pho Viet are excellent, the atmosphere leaves much to be desired. The restaurant is located in a building that clearly used to be a fast food establishment and is complete with an unused drive-through window. Additionally, the décor, while nice, is sparse, and the restaurant looks unfi nished and generally unpolished. A few simple modifi cations in the décor could do wonders in improving the restaurant’s image.

Despite a lackluster interior, Pho Viet offers delicious food at an inexpensive price. The atmosphere is hardly romantic, and slurping down stringy noodle soup with chopsticks probably won’t highlight your charm, so the restaurant certainly isn’t the perfect place for a first date, but Pho Viet is perfect for a casual dinner out with friends or family. Overall, the friendly staff and fresh food at Pho Viet, as well as the restaurant’s commitment to maintaining Vietnamese culture and traditions, make the restaurant well worth visiting.

“It’s up to you.”So said Radiohead when it

came time for fans to pick a price for downloading initial copies of the band’s 2007 album, “In Rainbows,” from the U.K. quintet’s Web site.

The name-you r-pr ice experiment paid off big-time, numbers released Monday indicate. A year after the album’s release, the band’s publicist announced that “In Rainbows” has sold 3 million copies, including downloads from radiohead.com, sales of digital albums from other retailers, CDs and a boxed set. The sales from the band’s Web site alone exceeded the total sales for the band’s previous album, “Hail to the Thief,” released by largely conventional means through

a major label in 2003. At the time, the album was available legally in essentially only one format: a compact disc.

Though many fans took advantage of the band’s offer to download “In Rainbows” and pay nothing for it, the new numbers affi rm that the windfall of publicity garnered by the “It’s up to you” move generated a new level of interest in the band. When physical copies of the album were finally made available three months after the digital re lea se , “ I n R a inbows” debuted atop both the U.S. and U.K. pop charts.

The sales included 100,000 boxed sets sold at the U.S. equivalent of $81 from the Web site and 1.75 million CDs, according to the band’s publisher, Warner Chappell. The album, the seventh studio release in a career stretching back to the early ‘90s, was a prelude to the band’s most successful tour yet, playing to 1.2 million fans.

The South Carolina women’s soccer team is on the rebound, looking to pick up a win tonight against a red-hot LSU Tigers squad.

The Gamecocks (10-4-3, 4-3-1 SEC) dropped close matches to Auburn and Alabama last weekend while on the road, the team’s fi rst back-to-back losses of the year.

“Two in a row hurts, but we have put it behind us,” USC Coach Shelley Smith said. “What we’ve done every time we have a setback like that, we have bounced back and proved our performances.”

While Carolina must gain confi dence to play well tonight, the LSU squad has played nothing short of exceptional soccer as of late. After losing their fi rst two conference games, the Tigers have knocked out fi ve conference opponents in a row, most recently defeating Vanderbilt and Kentucky this past weekend.

The st reak ing LSU team is f u l l of experienced players who are playing well late in the season. Offensive threats like Malorie Rutledge and Rachel Yepez , juniors playing together for their third year, will pose a defi nite challenge for the Gamecock defenders.

Approaching the end of the regular season, the Gamecocks have just three games to play before the bracket is selected for the SEC Tournament. The top eight seeds in the conference advance to the tournament, and the currently sixth-ranked Gamecocks

need to play well the rest of the season to secure their spot. The squad is obviously very motivated to make the tournament, but Smith stresses the fact that the team needs to take each game one at a time to get there.

“We always know in the back of our minds we are fighting to get [to the SEC tournament], but we have to focus on each opponent every night,” Smith said. “Any time we are home and fi nishing out this SEC conference trying to make postseason, we’re going to have a lot of motivation.”

The Tigers are in a more comfortable spot in the race to the tournament, currently in the second seeded position. Carolina will need several offensive performers to step up in tonight’s game after being shut out last weekend. Specifically from freshman forward Kayla Grimsley , who leads the team in goals this season . The forward will look to score her ninth goal and get back into the offensive swing of things against LSU.

The Gamecocks know full well that the LSU team coming into town is a very talented program, and the game will be diffi cult. However, Smith believes the players will rise to the challenge.

“We don’t mind a team that is on a streak. It’s only going to help us come back from a weekend that we lost to teams that we shouldn’t have,” Smith said. “To come back and play a team that has done well and is ranked currently is all that much more motivation to prove ourselves on a national level.”

The match is set for 7 p.m. and will be at Stone Stadium .

I n t h e m i d s t o f conference play, women’s vol leyba l l w i l l t ake on a relatively unimpressive South Carolina State team tonight .

T he G a meco c k s a re coming off a much-needed v ictor y against Auburn this weekend where they outmatched t he Tigers three sets to one . Though Auburn has yet to win a c on fe re nc e g a me t h i s season, the victory should still be a boost of confi dence for Carolina to build on.

I n t he g a me , S out h Carolina dominated the fi rst set 25-11 but were unable

to keep up the intensity as the Tigers rebounded with an impressive 25-13 domination of their own.

The Gamecocks must have been offended that a conference bottom-dweller h a d s t u c k i t t o t he m because t hey came out strong, winning the third and fourth sets to pull out the victory.

Tonight South Carolina (15-4, 7-3) will get a break f rom t he arduous SEC schedule as they take on South Carolina State (9-18, 3-2), a team that has not had an impressive year.

The Bulldogs will look for Jarne Gleaton and Perry Ligons to lead the pack if they want any chance at beat ing the Gamecocks at home. Both players are averaging over two k ills per game and should be the only threats Carolina must contain to ensure the win.

For South Carolina, this should be considered a break as they will only face SEC competition for the rest of the year. Following t he ga me ton ight , t he Gamecocks will travel to Athens for their conference matchup Friday night.

Leading the Carol ina offense tonight will likely be two key contributors w ho h a v e s t e p p e d u p consistently throughout the season. Ivana Kujundzic a nd Bel it a Sa lter s a re both 6-foot-1 and have been dependable threats, averaging 3.63 and 3.12 kills per set respectively.

Currently, Kujundzic is third in the SEC for kills while Saunders leads the conference w ith a .408 hitting percentage .

W h i l e t h o s e t w o a r e c o n v e r t i n g o n o p p or t u n i t i e s , j u n io r Bridget Denson-Dorman will be setting them up all night. The 5-foot-9-inch Denson-Dorman leads the team in assists with 660 on the season , which accounts for over 75 percent of the team’s overall assists .

The team’s setup girl is second in the conference for assists, averaging 10.48 per game.

Overall, South Carolina shou ld f ee l e x t remely confi dent in their matchup t o n i g h t a g a i n s t t h e Bulldogs as South Carolina State has yet to beat or play any noteworthy opponent. At one point this season, the Bulldogs tallied an 11-game losing streak while playing only one ranked opponent.

After beating Auburn, t h e G a m e c o c k s a r e relatively pleased with their position halfway through conference play. Of the ten remaining games, Carolina has beaten seven of their opponent s a l ready t h is season.

The game against South Carolina State tonight is slated to start at 7 p.m.

USC coach Steve Spurrier and the South Carolina Gamecocks are once again uncertain of who will be the starting quarterback come game day. After a frustrating 24-17 loss against a No. 15-ranked LSU team, Spurrier said the starting quarterback after this week’s bye could be anybody.

“We don’t know who our starter is right now,” Spurrier said after Wednesday night’s practice. “It’s sort of up in the air.”

Redshirt sophomore Stephen Garcia made his fi rst career start against LSU after leading the team to a comeback victory over Kentucky the week before, he but will likely not make the start against the Tennessee Volunteers on the Saturday after next . This could be for numerous reasons, yet Spurrier did make it clear that he wasn’t pleased with his young quarterback.

“We need to teach Stephen to throw it away every now and then instead of always trying to run out of there,” Spurrier said. “His shoulder was sore today, so he didn’t even go with the fi rst group ... He acted like

he didn’t even want to play today, so we held him out.”

As for redshirt sophomore quarterback Chris Smelley, he will likely see playing time but may not start.

“Smelley took some snaps with the fi rst team today,” Spurrier said. “But Chris and Stephen seem to do better coming off the bench, so maybe if someone else is the starter, they’ll play better.”

That leaves two other possibi l it ies: redshirt junior Tommy Beecher and redshirt f reshman Zac Brindise . For Beecher, Tennessee could be his fi rst start since his opening night debacle in which he threw four interceptions. Since being pulled from that game, he has only thrown four passes.

“Tommy took some snaps today,” Spurrier said. “Maybe we’ll start him.”

For Brindise, it would be his first time ever seeing the fi eld.

“We might put Zac Brindise out there fi rst,” Spurrier said. “He took a few snaps with the fi rst team.”

And as for USC’s running game, or lack there of, Spurrier does intend on handing the ball off more to mix things up. Who will be carrying the ball is also in question, with nearly all of the team’s running backs not participating in Wednesday night’s practice due to injury. Senior Mike Davis had f luid drained from his knee after it became swollen following the LSU game, but he will most likely be healthy for USC’s

game against Tennessee. Spurrier would like to get freshman Eric Baker playing time, but his fumbling may hinder that idea.

“We were hoping to get Eric Baker some carries, but he got in there and fumbled the ball, so that wasn’t a good start,” Spurrier said.

Spurr ier a l so fou nd Sen ior Bobby Wallace’s performance unimpressive.

“Bobby only had one or two carries and nothing good happened, so we’ll see what happens with that,” Spurrier said.

Many things are in question for the South Carolina Gamecocks after last week’s loss. Some players may be stepping on the fi eld for their fi rst time against Tennessee. But as one would expect, Coach Steve Spurrier is anything but happy after a loss.

“We may do a little extra conditioning tomorrow,” Spurrier said.

The NFL has been plagued with inconsistent play and parity this season, leading many fans to wonder who the best really is. Traditional powers such as the Colts,

Pat r iot s and Cowboys are a l l h a v i n g d o w n y e a r s and look to be aging before our very eyes. Here are my rankings of the top five teams in the NFL up to this point in the season.

1. Tennessee TitansThe Titans remain the

only unbeaten team in the NFL. They have been able to maintain this record through physical play on both sides of the ba l l . The Titans current ly have the best defense in the league, and they are stuffi ng the run and not allow the opposing team to score. When the Titans have the ball, they simply run it down the opponent’s throat with their two running backs Lendale White and Chris Johnson . Both offer a change of pace for the other, which wears down the opponent. The Titans do, however, face their toughest test of the season Monday night against the Colts .

2. Buffalo BillsThe Bills have marched

out to a lead in the AFC east this season because of solid play on offense, defense and special teams. Second-year quarterback Trent Edwards has proven that he can be an elite quarterback if he stays healthy. In fact the Bills’ only loss this season came in a game in which Edwards was k nocked out with a concussion. The Bills’ defense has been making plays all season by creating turnovers and giving their offense great fi eld position. The Bills have perhaps the best special teams in the league because of their mult iple return men and clutch play from the kicking game. If the Bills can hold their ground and hold off the Jets and Patriots, they may be able to lock up home fi eld

in the playoffs, which would give a major edge.

3. New York GiantsThe Giants have come out

this season poised to defend their Super Bowl title. With the exception of the Monday n ight game aga inst t he Browns that New York forgot to show up for, the Giants have looked dom i na nt . The Giants present a very b a l a nc e d o f f e n s e w i t h an ability to run the ball consistently as well as pick up big gains in the passing game. The Giants once again have been able to get pressure on the quarterback as they are second in the league in sacks. This pass rush takes loads of pressure off of the secondary and allows them to be aggressive. The Giants will face a tough test this Sunday as they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have the most sacks in the NFL. A win by the Giants would make a huge statement to the rest of the NFL that the road to the Super Bowl still comes through New York.

4. Pittsburgh SteelersThe Steelers seem to be one

of the few traditional powers that is l iv ing up to their billing this season. Their defense has been attacking the opposing quarterbacks all season, racking up 25 sacks through six games . This pressure on the quarterbacks leads to turnovers and better fi eld position for the balanced Steelers offense. The Steelers offense has been clicking on all cylinders this season despite running back Willie Parker missing time with an injury. The Steelers were still able to run the ball in Parker’s absence, which opened up passing lanes for Ben Roethlisberger to get the ball downfield to Hines

Ward and his other receivers. The Steelers expect to have Willie Parker back this week just in time for their matchup with the Giants. A win over the Giants would give the Steelers momentum that they could use to catch Buffalo and Tennessee in hopes of getting home fi eld advantage in the playoffs.

5 . T a m p a B a y Buccaneers

Tampa Bay is the least flashy team on this list, but they are continuing to win. The Bucs have reverted back to their traditional formula for winning: Run the ball, e l im inate t u rnovers on offense and play stout defense. This formula allowed the Buccaneers to pull off an impressive beatdown of the Carolina Panthers in week six. The Buccaneers with quarterback Jeff Garcia have been able to make plays in the passing game because everyone in focused on their running game led by Earnest Graham and Warrick Dunn . The offense is also helped by the fact that they do not have to score a lot of points to win. The Buccaneers’ defense is not allowing a lot of points and is forcing opposing quarterbacks to turn the ball over with their aggressive cover two scheme. The Bucs face the Cowboys , who are in the midst of throwing away their season, this weekend. T h i s g a m e g i v e s t h e Buccaneers a chance to beat up on Cowboys quarterback Brad Johnson , who was Tampa’s quarterback when they won the Super Bowl.

Midseason rankings dominated by AFC

Football has the luxury of ending its season against its archrival. Every year the Clemson vs. Carolina football game is an event that fans for both sides mark on the calendar. The outcome of the game will affect a team’s entire offseason. If you win, you are heroes. If you lose, you spend the entire year boiling until you have a chance to redeem yourself.

The men’s rugby season, for better or for worse, does not have the same luxury. Last Saturday the team faced Clemson and won. However, instead of spending the rest of the year celebrating its victory, the team has to come out this Saturday and perform against a diffi cult opponent in Furman.

Certainly Carolina won’t complain about the victory over the Tigers, though.

“You know, this was our third straight victory over [Clemson], and it still felt as good as the first one [in Nov. 2007] that broke our futility streak against them,” Assistant Coach Erik Geib said. “It was their Rugby Homecoming Weekend, and all [their] alumni were there yelling against us. It was good for our young guys to see why the rivalry in rugby is perhaps more intense than the football rivalry — there’s real, visceral hate out there in a much more physical sport.”

Carolina’s comeback victory over the then-ranked No. 18 team gave the Gamecocks plenty of steam heading into this weekend’s matchup with Furman. However, Carolina must beware of overlooking the apparently outmatched Paladins.

“In the past, we’ve seemingly overlooked

them on a consistent basis. Some people forget that despite their division, status in rugby doesn’t matter,” Geib said. “Furman is Division 3, not from lack of talent, but lack of school size. I think they’re consistently one of the better 10 teams in the entire south. We lost the 2004 and 2005 Palmetto Rugby Union Championship matches to them back when we were a mid-grade Division 2 team, but I think we’re ready for them.”

That, of course, is not to say that the Paladins won’t be ready for Carolina. Furman has many strengths on its team, specifically, the Paladins rely on strong coaching for success over opponents.

“The past few times we’ve played them they’ve been real strong from their scrum-half through their centers,” Geib said. “They’ve never been able to match the physicality and strength of our forwards. They’re well-coached, however, so anything is possible. Their coach [John Roberts] is an alumnus of USC, and he’s always ready for this match.”

Even though Furman will have a good strategy on Saturday, Carolina knows that this game is important.

“Hopefully this match will get us focused as we prepare for the SEC Championship Tournament coming up in two weeks,” Geib said. “A win over Furman (National D3 Runner-Up), coupled with our win over Clemson (the only other D1 school in S.C.) and a future match (Nov. 15) against Palmetto Cup Champions Coastal Carolina, would establish us as the best team in South Carolina without a doubt.”

If Carolina can establish dominance in the state, it will set the team up perfectly for a run at bigger titles.

The game will be held at the Blatt P.E. Center Saturday at 1 p.m.
