Contributing Writer

The School of Business Administration (SOBA) invites you to join the Study Abroad Program for May 2014. This summer, you have the opportunity to partake on a journey through the cities of Lisbon, Portugal, and both Madrid and Barcelona, Spain. While abroad, you may earn up to six course credits while gaining knowledge of the important issues relevant to global businesses.

During your stay in both Portugal and Spain, you will be visiting multiple companies to learn about international business. Also, you are able to experience adventure and fun in a foreign country with your friends and fellow students. There will be structured tours through each of the cities so that you can get a feel for the culture around you.

Over the years, students that have been a part of the Study Abroad Program have always come back with great stories. Some comments that past study abroad students have made are “best trip ever,” “worth every penny,” “so happy I chose to go on the trip,” and “I can’t wait to go next year.” One comment that a lot of the students that have been a part of the SOBA trip has said is “this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.”

So please, do yourself a favor and come join the SOBA Study Abroad Program for May 2014 in Lisbon, Madrid and Barcelona. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity that you, too, can be a part of.

Please contact Dr. Sanela Porca in the business department at SanelaP@usca.edu if you have any more questions or pick up an application from Rebecca Barnwell in the School of Business office.

A Veterans Breakfast will be held in the SAC Mezzanine on Monday, Nov. 11 at 7:30 a.m. to honor the brave veterans and active military personnel of USC Aiken.

This is the very first Veterans Breakfast at USCA and is hosted by Chancellor Sandra Jordan. The guest speaker is Command Sgt. Maj. Gregory W. Binford, 73rd Ordinance Battalion, Fort Gordon, Ga.

“The Veterans Breakfast is more about celebrating a legacy of the men and women who wore the uniform of the United States Armed Forces, than

giving awards or networking,” said Robert Murphy, Director of the Veteran and Military Student Success Center, and a U.S. Marine Corps veteran.

“We remember those who have gone before us and we recognize each other as brothers and sisters who defended our nation,” he added.

“This breakfast is about bringing veterans together and remembering who we are and what we accomplished. Remembering what we did greatly supports what we will continue to do in the future. Although not in uniform, veterans continue to accomplish great things.

First Veteran’s Breakfast upcomingBriana Chapman

Staff WriterFrom school teachers or law enforcement officials, to doctors or political officials, veterans remain a bedrock of social stability.”

Murphy commends the Chancellor’s involvement and support of the VA Center. “Not only does Chancellor Jordan personally support the veteran student’s transition into the university through her leadership and oversight, she champions the Veteran and Military Student Success Center at every occasion. This breakfast is one example of her commitment to not only the veteran students but to all veterans of all eras of service.

The veteran student’s success is in large part due to Dr. Jordan’s support,” said Murphy.

For more information visit the VA Center in the Gregg-Graniteville Library.

Bright and early Saturday morning, 40 runners came out to the Pacer Path on the USC Aiken campus to run a 5K marathon called Run for Roses in support of Alpha Omicron Pi’s philanthropy, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

Hundreds of thousands of children are affected by this disease every year and there is no known cure. Money raised from AOII’s numerous philanthropy events throughout the year is contributed to the Arthritis Foundation for research to finding a cure for arthritis.

AOII’s efforts at this event raised awareness and also $300 towards the cause.

“Run for Roses was a great opportunity for Alpha Omicron Pi to interact with the community members for a good cause,” said Celeste Workman, a junior exercise sports science major who organized the event. “It was great spending so much time with my sisters and new friends.”

People of all different ages, from high school students to AOII grandparents, ran the 5K path in hopes of coming in first place. AOII gave t-shirts to the top 10 male runners as well as the top 10 female runners.

Brady Rafanan, a cross country runner at South Aiken High School, came in first place overall.

“The race was run very smoothly and it was a lot of fun,” said junior secondary

education major Ryan Rafanan.With this first Run for Roses

being such a success, there will be many more marathons in the future for Alpha Omicron Pi and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

Police Report RevealedAnnual crime report discloses minor infractions

The annual police report reveals that though USC Aiken’s campus is not plagued by the perpetration of many major, or minor infractions, a small number of violations still occur every year, with an overall tendency of exposing the students living on campus to greater risks than the ones commuting.

In the first instances cited on the report, like all the other ones, the numbers are

promisingly low. There have not been any sexual offenses, of a forcible or voluntary nature, perpetrated at all; the same figures apply to the majority of categories from murder to arson.

Where this great streak ends is at “on-campus burglaries”, with the number of infractions totaling 15; and it is followed by “motor vehicle thefts”, of which the report only cites one.

This pattern reoccurs in the report addressing the situation inside the residence halls. Once again, the numbers are all leveled at zero with the

exception of burglaries, which have seven cited occurrences.

The report again begins to look promising, with no major infractions having any occurrences at all. This pattern continues until one looks at the substance abuse violations. Last year there were two campus arrests for Liquor Law violations, and four for drug violations. There have been 33 Judicial Referrals for on- campus Liquor Law violations, and 23 for on campus Drug Law violations. The numbers of arrests in the residence halls were identical to the on

campus ones; and the numbers of Judicial Referrals would have been identical as well if it weren’t for the Liquor Law violations, which were just one shy of the 33 mark.

After touching on these areas, the report once again returns to a zero sum for all other categories. While some of these numbers may certainly look alarmingly large, one may find peace of mind in observing that the drop in the number of occurrences between the years before last, and last year, when it comes to all major crimes, is of a very drastic nature.

Such numbers only appear large on paper, and this is evidenced by the overall satisfaction of the students when it comes to the safety of the campus. With a trend that forecasts an even more drastic drop in the amount of crimes or violations committed on campus for this year, USCA students can pursue their studies in peace. So far, the future looks even more promising.

It is that time of year again when students must begin to lay down the foundations for an upcoming semester. Advise-ment will begin next week on the Nov. 11 and will last until Nov. 18. For many students, sitting down with advisors to discuss possible options for the upcoming semesters is a matter which solely revolves around this time of the year. This, however, is not the best option. Students should com-municate with their advisors as much as possible throughout the semester and establish a connection. This is due to the fact that classes will be assigned to students by advisors based on the advisors’ understanding of what the students’ future plans are. It is imperative that a good dialogue exist between students and their advisors; it is from this dialogue that next semester’s schedules can be constructed in a matter which allows for them to cater to the students’ best interests.

After sitting down and talking to an advisor, students must go online to Self Ser-vice Carolina and secure for themselves a Time Ticket. This ticket will specify the exact time that students will be al-lowed to go online and sign up for their classes. The student’s Time Ticket is decided through a calculation involving the

student’s GPA and previ-ously taken courses. Of course, exceptions to Time Tickets do exist, but they can only affect athletes and others with prior-ity registration. In the case of athletes, their course choices hold precedence over the other students’ because of athletes’ variable practice schedules. A student, however, cannot sign up for any class before the date specified by his or her Time Ticket.

Students should try to create a list of the classes they would like to take the upcoming semester before having their meetings with an advisor. Once at the meeting, students should try to convey to their advisor a fairly exact picture of what their future aspirations are, and they should aim to take only those courses which further those aspirations. For many freshmen, however, this will not be very evident. Freshmen should attempt to finish all of their general education courses before charging forth towards different subjects related to their majors. Ultimately, the most important thing that stu-dents can do this week is visit their advisors, and schedule a meeting with them; this is fol-lowed by going online to SSC to view their individual Time Tickets.

Last season, the USC Aiken women’s basketball team compiled a record of 22-8, including a 13-6 mark in Peach Belt Conference play. The Pacers began the season by winning their first 12 games before suffering their first loss to Clayton State.

During the contest against Clayton State, USCA lost not only the game but its All-American Kayla Harris as well.

“Last year we had high expectations, we started off great and then we had an injury to Kayla Harris and that put a big damper on our season,” said head coach Mike Brandt. “I think that our team responded pretty well after that and continued to win some games.”

Despite the injury to Harris, the Pacers were able to salvage their season and advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, where they once again fell to Clayton State, 83-66.

USCA’s roster will feature several new players. Transfers Tiffany Addison (Arkansas Fort-Smith) and Mariah Durian (Western Oregon), along with freshmen Jasmine Coach, Kate Duff, Alexis Ware and Carly Gilreath will all be new players for the Pacers this season.

“Tiffany Addison, the point guard, is going to be a solid player for us. She’s a little spark plug on the court, very small but she’s very tough,” said Brandt.

“Mariah Durian is a transfer from Western Oregon, she averaged over ten points as a freshman there and was a very good player,” Brandt said. “I think that she’s going to develop into a very good player here also.”

These newcomers will have a chance to make an early impact on the floor for the Pacers.

The Pacers return only five players from last year’s team, including just one senior. Porsha Martin, Mackenzie Reese, Emily O’Rourke, Kassy Johannsen and Amaura Brandt, who redshirted last year, all return this year for USCA.

“(Martin) was named All-Tournament team last year in the PBC tournament,” Brandt said. “She’s a very solid player; she’s our lone senior, she’s a good leader for us, good on the offensive end and defensive end. I’ll think she’ll be very productive for us.”

“Mackenzie Reese, coming off her sophomore year, did a great job for us, continued to improve and had a big game-winner against Augusta State which was huge for her confidence,” added Brandt.

Given the amount of turnover on the roster, the play of these two players early on

Every game the Pacers play this season will be an important contest, but there is one matchup that stands out when looking at this year’s schedule.

“You always look at Clayton State. They’re so good and they have been good, I think they’re ranked No. 3, so you always look at that,” said Brandt

The Pacers lone matchup with Clayton State is on the road, Wednesday, Jan. 15.

Another game to watch will be when USCA plays rival GRU Augusta. The home contest against the Jaguars will take place Saturday, Feb. 1, while the road game will be Wednesday, Feb. 26.

USCA is to win the PBC and return to the NCAA Tournament.

“Our main goal is to try to win the conference and try to get to the NCAA Tournament again,” said Brandt, who added, “We feel that we’re capable and have enough talent to win every game that is on our schedule, whether or not we do that has yet to be determined.”

Pacers’ home finale is set for Nov. 6 against GRU Augusta.

After securing a berth in the Peach Belt Conference Tournament over the past weekend, the USC Aiken volleyball team comes into this week facing three matches, including the last home game of the season.

The Pacers (16-8, 8-5 PBC) begin the week with a home match on Wednesday, Nov. 6, against GRU Augusta. The Jaguars (7-20, 1-13) enter the week having lost five of their last seven games, including a 3-1 loss at Newberry last week.

In the previous meeting between the two teams this season, the Pacers were able to come away with a 3-0 road victory. In that match, Aly Johnson led the Pacer offense with 10 kills. Amanda Bologna, Endea Ellison and Ashley Lind also helped lead USCA to the victory, with each recording a .500 hitting percentage.

Despite GRU Augusta’s lackluster record heading into the match with USCA, head coach Glenn Cox still sees the Jaguars as a dangerous team.

“(GRU Augusta is) another really dangerous team in the conference; everybody is dangerous in this conference,” said Cox. “On any given day they can show up and really bring an ‘A’ game. We beat them 3-0 at their place so that’s the game plan here.”

The match with the Jaguars begins at 7 p.m. at the Convocation Center.

On Friday, Nov. 8, the Pacers will hit the road for a long trip to Montevallo. The Falcons (15-9, 8-6) enter this week coming off three straight losses. However, two of those losses came against the top two teams in the conference, Armstrong and Flagler.

In the teams’ previous meeting this year at the Convocation Center, the Pacers and Falcons battled to five sets, where USCA was able to secure the win. Taylor Stratton and

Ellison led the Pacers in the win, with nine kills each.

The match with the Falcons figures to be another good one, as the two teams enter the week separated by just a half game in the PBC standings.

After the match with Montevallo, the Pacers will travel to Columbus State the next day for a match with the Cougars.

As was the case with Montevallo, the Cougars (16-10, 8-6) enter the week coming off three straight losses, with two of them coming against Armstrong and Flagler.

The previous meeting between the teams at the Convocation Center this season resulted in a 3-2 loss for the Pacers. In that match, Stratton led the Pacer attack with 13 kills.

The Pacers and Cougars are also only separated by a half game in the conference standings, making this match important in terms of conference tournament seeding.

“We’ve got to go over there and take care of business on the road,” said Cox.

Arcade Fire returns from hiatus with “Reflektor”

OPINION

Brent BlackmonStaff Writer

From deep within the subterranean bowels of the dreaded catch-all term “indie’’, Arcade Fire reemerges with Reflektor. Almost three years after their surprise Grammy victory and the subsequent birth of the question, “What the hell is an Arcade Fire?” the reluctant Canadian rock-pantheon bursts back into life with a full 75-minute double album as dichotomized as the band itself.

Split between two different acts, Arcade Fire and the fictional Reflektors (portrayed

and performed by the band), Reflektor plays upon its own duality. After the 7 ½ minute title track “Reflektor”, a fine symposium with David Bowie and the record producer James Murphy (of LCD Soundsystem fame), the album’s sound devolves. It turns away from the fecundity of “Reflektor”s French verses and cautious synth waves, plunging into a world of dingy venues and sultrily cavernous guitar clangs—territory belonging to the Reflektors.

Diversity stills exists under this singular reinvention of the band’s sound, though. While songs like “We Still

Exist” laze around with a smooth rockabilly demeanor, the disc’s high point “Here Comes the Night Time” balances unpoised bass thumps with blooming piano plinks. It’s all distinctively mellow, though. In the words of Paste Magazine’s Ryan Reed, Reflektor is doubtlessly Arcade Fire’s “least melodic album”.

Disc two plays upon this sensibility, though. With the pseudo-reprisal “Here Comes the Night Time II”, the once airy and optimistic Reflektors meld into the dark and atmospheric synthetic tones undeniably belonging to Arcade Fire. The light is gone;

there’s nothing left to reflect--night time has arrived.

Songs begin to melt into one another, merging allusions to Greek mythology with analogies that match lewd videos to disintegrating relationships. “Porno” may, in fact, be the album’s standout track. Remarkably centralized and simplistic, the disinterest of its instrumental tracks contrasts with Win Butler’s passionate vocals. It’s unpolished and slightly vulgar, but visceral and unyielding, much like Reflektor as a whole.

The album closes with the misnomer “Supersymmetry”. While divided into two halves,

they are far from equals. The melodic duet between Butler and Régine Chassagne dissolves into an amorphous collection of interstellar sounds—a meteor shower, with sounds coming and passing occasionally, building into a larger ambience before breaking off completely.

So the night comes and goes, splintered apart and finally dispersed entirely by daybreak. Despite its shortcomings, Reflektor offers a new (and arguably less listenable) look at a band known for its anthemic choruses and brightly melancholic sentimentality.

It has come to my attention over the past few months that the school spirit at USC Aiken has gone somewhat downhill. From complaints about academic and student programs, ICE credits, new additions and course work, people seem to be none too pleased with the institution.

Here’s the thing: if you don’t like something, go through the chain of command and ask questions about why is happening. Make a move to change something and, in the end, you will most likely

have pride that your university actually listened to your opinion.

I hear people on a daily basis say, “can you believe that touchdown we made?” referring to the college football game held the night before. They say this as if they were actually on the field or as if they practice with the team. They make excuses for mistakes another university makes, on and off the field, and they do not even attend.

Having pride in something does not mean hating some parts or only loving some parts. It does not mean supporting the basketball team but

Lacie RhodenNews Editor

Quit complaining, and have pride in your universitycomplaining about everything else.

Having pride means loving something and being excited for something when good things are done and making a move to change things you do not like. It is not partial acceptance. Pride is loving your favorite professor, your boss, your sports teams, your organizations and everything else about the place you dump your money into every semester.

Obviously you care about your education, because, well here you are. If you are pulling the money out of your pocket, why not make your investment

the best it can be. In the wise words of Maya Angelou, “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change

it, change your attitude.” For Pete’s sake, quit

complaining.
