Veteran employee enjoys being helpful at Moundbuilder Market By Katie Vorderstrasse Staff reporter She has a smile that brightens everyone’s day. Diane Cable, retail associate, has worked on campus for the past 15 years. Her latest job is in the Moundbuilder Market which is located across from Pounds Lounge. Cable said, “I enjoy the students and staff and most of all, being helpful.” Cable started working on this campus as a night cook. She was then promoted to manager of Java Jinx for 10 years. She then worked the salad bar and sandwich area for two years. After that Cable was the cashier in the cafeteria for one and a half years. Two years ago the idea of having a Moundbuilder Market was brought up. Originally the space was a book and mail room. She has been working in the Market for one year and two months. As the store continues to grow, it’s important that Sodexo choose reliable staff. “Diane is a very hard worker that is very friendly to all customers,” said Jason VenJohn. VenJohn is the manager of the clothing side in Erica Dunigan/Collegian photographer Jasmine Jackson, music education, senior, performs the Hallelujah Chorus from “Messiah.” Jackson’s first passion was the market. The top selling items are tshirts and when cold, hoodies. Cable makes sure the shelves are stocked, clothes are neat and sells the items. Cable said, “I try and make the students feel at home.” Cable impacts the everyday student. “Every time I visit she is so happy and simply makes my day,” said Hannah Schrag, biology freshman. On average ,Cable helps 100 students per day. She normally works Monday Cat Scan •Word on the Hill: Check out the SC Media Facebook page and voice your opinions about the internet connection..

After tearing her ACL in late 2010 and undergoing eight surgeries, Jasmine Jackson, music education senior, is still unable to do what she truly loves, play basketball. Bringing tons of energy and her tremendous defense, Jackson is no doubt an amazing player. “We miss her,” said Dave Denly, head women’s basketball coach. He admits that there is a void since Jackson has been gone. Heaven on Earth is what Jasmine Jackson said basketball is to her. “I gave basketball my all,” said Jackson. She feels like it was taken away from her for a reason. “That is not always how I looked at it, I thought I was being punished.” Jackson said she was neglecting her music, but it is now her first priority because basketball is no longer an option. “I don’t want to go back to being depressed,” said Jackson. Knowing that she is not out on the court is what hurts her the most. “I have filled the void in my life from basketball with my music,” said Jackson, who uses her music to stay busy. “Most of my days are in the choir hall. If I’m not there, I am in my room listening to and studying music,” said Jackson. Growing musically is something Jackson admits she has done. “When I was playing basketball, all I listened to was R&B, but now I have expanded my horizons and became more versatile.” Jackson listens to a wide variety of music, from jazz to opera, she tries it all. “I give more to music so I can learn See Jackson, page 4— Richard Gould/Collegian photographer Jasmine Jackson, music education senior, performs the Hallelujah Chorus from “Messiah.” Jackson’s first passion was basketball until an ACL injury turned her passion to music.
