While many Gamecocks were distracted by the snow and early rush of midterms, a legislative move in the statehouse was silently introduced and could cause financial chaos for the university. House Bill 3795 was proposed in the 126th General Assembly and would radically change Gamecock demographics.
While most University of South Carolina students spent the Fourth of July watching fireworks, a legislative explosion in Washington effectively ended the era of students overpaying the Internal Revenue Service. On July 4, 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill” introduced by Rep. Jodey Arrington was signed into law by President Trump, rewriting the rules of the American tax system. This bill carried a simple message for every working Gamecock: it is time to stop giving away your hard-earned money.
On Sept. 18, 2024, right-wing activists Gavin McInnes and Milo Yiannopoulos spoke to a room with empty chairs at the Russell House. Metal barricades caged the stage and South Carolina Law Enforcement Division officers stood guard — some even say there were roof snipers surveilling the event.

For third-year criminal justice student Myron Harris, though, this year’s Homecoming will stand out for reasons that extend far beyond the Saturday game.
Every election cycle, Student Government repeats the same promise to represent students and address problems that deliver real, meaningful improvements to student life. At inauguration, I remember Vice President for Student Affairs and Academic Support Rex Tolliver telling the newly elected officials that past solutions would not solve today’s problems.
After 43 grueling days last fall, the longest government shutdown in U.S. history finally ended on Nov. 12, 2025. And just like every shutdown prior to this one, it concluded in the same way: after weeks of disruption, the side that lit the match didn’t get what it claimed was non-negotiable.
