Guard looks for inspiration at Darla Moore Th e SC National Guard turns to graduate students for face lift, marketing strategies Natalie Pita @NATALIEPITA
The SC National Guard has missed their recent recruitment targets by as much as 15 percent over recent years, so they decided to turn to MBA marketing students in the Darla Moore School of Business. The National Guard believes they are falling below their target of 1,400 recruits because of a rise in obesity, the prevalence of tattoos and attitudes toward the military. But when the SC National Guard approached Jeff Rehling, director of the Center for Marketing Cody Scoggins / THE DAILY GAMECOCK Solutions through USC and marketing lecturer, with Sustainable Midlands encouraged Columbians to Buy, Eat, Experience Local with their event this Monday. the problem and what the SC National Guard has to offer to recruits, he was quick to agree to take on the project. “[Rehling] said, ‘that’s incredible.

The Lettered Olive features USC undergraduate written, visual art
Emily Olyarchuk @TDG_ARTS
Never underestimate the power of student art — sometimes all they need is an outlet. USC’s student literary journal, The Lettered Olive, is an outlet for undergraduate students to showcase their creative work in a variety of fi elds. Established in 2001, the magazine publishes art in visual and written media — the journal is currently co-edited by fourth-year English students Eric Roper and Ainsley McWaters. Roper joined The Lettered Olive in 2012 as the poetry editor and in his free time continues to write lyrical poetry with a language driven, experimental focus. “I am proud to represent the journal,” Roper said. “It is the only [undergraduate] literary magazine at the University of South Carolina. It is important to represent the artistic community at the university.” McWaters served the journal as fi ction editor and secretary prior to assuming her role as co-editor- in-chief at the start of the 2014-2015 school year. She mostly spends her time writing school papers now, but Thomas Rice’s class got her interested in post-modern fi ction. “I’m very proud of the fact that during sophomore year I helped bring back the magazine — under the direction of two lovely editors named Sam Smith and LeeAnn Swager — after a couple years of hiatus, and that we manage to keep putting out a magazine every year,” McWaters said. Although the journal is published annually, The Lettered Olive staff works year round encouraging English students to submit their work and selecting the best student submissions. The journal, about DG 30 pages, generally contains four to six visual art pieces, four fi ction pieces and six to eight poems in each issue. One year, The Lettered Olive did a contest that offered prizes to selected students, and had over Courtesy of The Lettered Olive, Design by Grey Klein / THE DAILY GAMECOCK 60 original works submitted by the end of the USC’s literary magazine, The Lettered Olive, features written and visual art pieces by undergraduate students. year.

Rick Ross is back in the rap game with his new deluxe album, “Hood Billionaire.” Whether it’s related to his new diet — “shoutout to all the pear,” Ross said in a recent interview regarding his new album — is still unclear.
