When U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy goes to work in Washington, life isn’t too luxurious. “I sleep in my offi ce; I sleep on a couch,” Gowdy said. Gowdy, who represents the Upstate, was speaking to a crowd of about 25 students on his experience as a USC School of Law student and his time in Congress. But even just two days after he was re-elected to a second term , Gowdy said he was well aware of financial constraints of owning a second home in Washington, D.C.

Posting the worst record in program history, 10-21 , Colonial Life Arena saw a diminishing attendance at home basketball games, especially in the student section. “Not only does the Colonial Life Arena need you, but we need you to create the best home court environment in the country,” Martin said in the video. “You’ve done it before, so let’s do it again.” Andrew Askins / THE DAILY GAMECOCK – Compiled by Isabelle Khurshudyan, Sports Editor U.S. Rep.

Friday, November 9, 2012 A5 ‘Compleat’ follows famously faux female

Theatre to open play at Longstreet tonight

Mary Cathryn Armstrong [email protected]

The world of theater is known for its drama, matching elements of lush acting with indulgent characters and savory wordplay that creates a realm of escape for a captive audience. So how exactly does one label such a play that has a woman playing the role of a man playing the role of a woman? Why, it’s none other than USC’s production of “Compleat Female Stage Beauty. ” Tonight is opening night at the historic Longstreet Theatre , and for the Department of Theatre , “Compleat” is a sparkling culmination of rich humor, luxuriously handcrafted costumes and many long nights of rehearsal and design. The play, originally written by Jeffrey Hatcher , follows the career of the famously faux female Edward Kynaston. Kynaston starred in a number of plays in the 17th century , notoriously donning female wigs and garb during the period when women were not allowed on stage. The play also illustrates the tailspin created when females began filling these roles, dropping Kynaston off Photos courtesy of USC Department of Theatre the precipice of stardom into Melissa Peters (above), a USC graduate theatre student, stars as the leading man — portraying a woman — Kynaston in the production. a cataclysm of the ordinary .
