Run and ceremony honors veterans at Belltower Each year since 2008, Raleigh Sister Cities and the ROTC units at NC State have held a run that ends at the Belltower and is followed by a sunrise ceremony in remembrance of those who died in WWI, and of all Veterans who have served their country through military service. The ceremony is occurring today at 6:30 a.m. The Armistice was signed in Compiegne, France 96 years ago. The hostilities of WWI ended on Nov. 11, 1918.

President Theodore Roosevelt became the first sitting president to speak within shadow of NC State during his visit to the North Carolina State Fairgrounds, at the time located just across Hillsborough Street from NC State’s main campus, on Oct. 19, 1905. The 26th president’s remarks were given less than a mile from where Roosevelt impersonator Joe Wiegand performed Monday evening in the McKimmon Center. “The extraordinary development of industrialism during the last half century has been due to several causes, but above all to the revolution in the methods of transportation and communication; that is, to steam and to electricity, to the railroad and the telegraph,” Roosevelt said at the fair. Roosevelt visited the fair to call for a stronger Interstate Commerce Commission, which was later occurred through the landmark Hepburn Act of 1906. In an effort to increase regulation for private railroad companies using public railroad tracks, Roosevelt said private railroad companies should cape their rates and stop giving free passes to the company’s biggest customers. “Transport by water has wholly lost its old position of superiority over transport by land,” Roosevelt said. “The old laws and old customs which were adequate and proper to meet the old conditions need radical readjustment in order to meet these new conditions.” SOUCE: NC State News
Yard Show celebrates culture in Greek life Kevin Schafer Associate Features Editor
A crowd of students gathered in Wolf Plaza in celebration of NC State’s multicultural Greek life Monday evening. Organizations set up tables and a string of performers, including belly dancers and hip-hop artists, provided a high energy atmosphere for students and guests. The first Multicultural Greek Council Yard Show was comprised of 12 organizations dedicated to highlighting the university’s diverse Greek life. Leah Chevis, a senior studying fashion and textile management and member of Theta Nu Xi, said she and the rest of the MGC intend to make this festival annual.
“Theta Nu Xi has been here since 1990, and we are one of the least known Greek organizations on campus,” Chevis said. “So my idea for this was really just to get the campus to know who we are as an organization.” The MGC has been wanting to make this event happen for several years now, according to Chevis. She said she pitched the idea for it over the summer and oversaw the planning process. “I feel like in the growingly globalized world we live in, getting to know other cultures is important, and that’s what we foster,” Chevis said. “We’re trying to get people to understand different cultures.” Prior to the entertainment

The sorority Alpha Delta Pi was also excited to work on this fundraiser since it was so close to Veteran’s Day, according to junior studying psychology Alex Yankoglu, the ADPi sister in charge of the sorority’s role in the event. Ten percent of the bill of all dinners served after 5 p.m. at Groucho’s will be donated to the Wounded Warrior’s Project. According to

said ADPi and SAE have not done many events together in recent years, but when SAE reached out to ADPi about cohosting this event, it was happy to support a fellow Greek organization. As of yesterday, there were about 150 people who had confirmed attendance for the event webpage on Facebook, Hamby said. “Our goal is to raise as much money as we can, so the more the merrier,” Hamby said. Miller said this is a great cause and that raising awareness regarding the needs of injured service members in the community is very important.
Belly dancers, hip hop groups and various other talented performers provided lively entertainment for dozens of students gathered around them.

Why Talley wasn’t a voting site, what we can do B
eing a student is a full-time job. Many students are on campus all day long. There are always classes to attend. Then there’s all the homework and studying. And if you’re new to NC State and live in a dorm, you probably don’t have a car. For these reasons, it makes sense we shou ld have convenient access to voting. However, this year there was no polling place Jacqueline on our campus. Lee The Wake County Assistant Board of Elections Opinion Editor did not select Talley Student Union as an early voting site as it did in 2012. In addition, a Pack Poll conducted only a week before Election Day showed only about one-third of students were even aware of this change. The poll asked students where they planned on voting in the midterm, and the results showed 5,500
students might have a problem voting. According to the poll, 28 percent of students chose Talley as the place they’d be voting. Talley wasn’t an early voting site, but the point of offering it as an option was to see if they knew it wasn’t and to get an idea of how many students expected it to be. Michael Cobb, a political science professor who conducts the Pack Polls, said the results were “disconcerting, surprising and alarming.” However, according to David Robinson, chair of the Wake County Board of Elections, “It’s not the Board’s job to target voters.” With all respect to Robinson, I disagree. The Board should make it a top priority to make voting more accessible. Elections are essentially nothing without voters. He said it is his job to help select early voting sites that are the most easily accessible and where they are most needed (population-wise). What he means by accessible is locations have to be compliant with
the Americans with Disabilities Act, and they have to be able to provide curbside voting. Also, he said he couldn’t choose a site where people have to pay for parking. “Talley Student Center failed miserably with the standards that have to be met,” Robinson said. But, an argument against that is many new students don’t have a car on campus and the point would be to accommodate them. Putting it into perspective: Wake County is huge. There are many precincts with varying population sizes. Robinson said some polling places have about 10,000 to 90,000 voters. Each election, the decision as to where to put early voting sites is made upon which locations are most accessible to voters, but mainly where they are most needed population-wise. Robinson said this is determined by looking at turnout in the previous election. Even if a large percentage of NC State votes in an election, another area of Wake
County may be in greater need of a polling place because it has more voters. “The polling places right around NCSU are in the bottom 5 percent in terms of the percentage of people voting in Wake County,” Robinson said. Though, contrary to that, the Technician reported more than 13,000 people voted at Talley in 2012. According to Cobb, 80 percent of students voted that year. There are more than 34,000 students at NC State who would have access to early voting on campus. There is a strong possibility of having an on-campus polling place again. Robinson said there are locations close to campus that will probably be considered for an early voting site. He said Talley just isn’t the best option for the accessibility requirements, but the Wake Board of Elections staff is already looking into options. If enough students show they want a polling place on campus or close

Our right to die trumps political agendas B
rittany Maynard’s death has renewed a commentary about the Death with Dignity laws in the United States. Brittany had youth, beauty, intelligence and a sense of adventure; her story broke the hearts of millions of Americans who witnessed the unforgiving, injudicious nature of brain cancer. She has replaced Terry Katherine Shiavo as the perfect Waller figurehead for the Staff Columnist Death with Dignity movement—she gains the support of a new, younger generation for an issue that used to be associated with an older age group. The availability of assisted suicide to someone who is suffering from a terminal disease makes a lot of sense. Some are quick to judge the moral aptitude of the Death with Dignity laws; there are many sects of Christianity and other religions that condemn euthanasia because they believe it acts against holy sacraments—however, as a secular nation that does not have an official religion, why do we have to make our laws in adherence to religious principles? Instead, let’s leave the moral judgment and choice to partake in the Death with Dignity acts up to the sick person or the person’s
family, not the government. The question stands: Why is this only legal in five states (Oregon, Washington, Montana, Vermont and New Mexico)? Why do lawmakers tell people who already have to face the unthinkable—dying a long and painful death—how they are allowed to die? This is cruel, and under these circumstances any person should have the right to choose how he or she wishes to die, based on personal religious or moral beliefs and the suffering the person is willing to endure. It took Brittany to “glamorize” this issue and that is a deep-rooted problem. It took a beautiful, white and wealthy young woman to warrant national interest and attention. This is especially troubling, as death and terminal illness don’t stop to discern race, socioeconomic status or physical appearance—but the press, and by extension, the lawmakers responsible for creating laws surrounding the right to die do. Until 1997 the “right to die” did not exist in the U.S. at all—lawmakers are not concerned with getting the votes of terminally ill patients or elderly people since the likelihood they will vote is slim anyway. Instead, lawmakers are more concerned about losing the vote of the able-bodied people who oppose the laws. Having watched grandparents and
by, it will help to make it happen, according to Cobb. He said he’d have good data about how many students voted in this election to show there’s a need to have an on-campus site. The Pack Poll shows there’s a significant number of students who expected Talley to be a voting site and that many students could’ve ended up not being able to make it to an off-campus site. But it’s very encouraging to hear an on-campus site is a strong possibility and that plans are already being made to have an early voting site near campus for the next election. To students who had a difficult time voting in this recent election, voice those concerns and make a big deal out of it, such as keeping an eye out for public input meetings and contacting local representatives, if it matters to you. We’re the ones voting here, and we have potential to have a big say in whether or not we get a voting site.
IN YOUR WORDS
}
How do you feel about the use of camera surveillance to monitor attendance?
family members suffer long and agonizing deaths from terminal illnesses, I often wonder what they wanted. And as morbid as it is, what choice I will want to make if I am ever in the same situation. For sure I don’t want lawmakers to control how I can die, or anyone who is not in a terminally ill situation as Brittany was should make that decision. Death with Dignity is something that should be nationalized, and it is sad that it took Brittany to get national attention because there have been so many equally tragic stories that preceded hers. If there is any way that a sense of comfort and control can be gained by a terminally ill patient, who are the lawmakers to take that away? Suicide is never a happy solution—no matter what the circumstances. The issues with the renewed commentary about Death with Dignity laws prove that this issue far exceeds concerns about the morality of suicide. Instead it shows us the fickle politicians in our nation who are motivated by ageism, racism, classism and more votes in the next election. I hope that in the upcoming months we see decisions made about these laws that are actually based on the needs of terminally ill patients, not non-contingent politics.

‘Resting bitch face’ is no reason to judge T
here is no doubt that there a re ma ny women — a nd men—who appear solemn and potentially mean when not making an expression. For too long this phenomenon has existed without a name. But do not fear! There is now a phrase to describe this very thing, which is not only acAnnie Grant curate, but also apCorrespondent plicable exclusively to the most awful of those who dare not smile: women. “Resting bitch face,” refers to females who appear mean or unhappy when presenting a neutral emotion. Although this phrase is mostly used lightheartedly, there is a growing concern against women who have resting bitch face. The solution commonly proposed for
this “problem” is to raise awareness about the condition, so that women who suffer from it will learn to adjust their faces. Another method involves men telling women to smile. The method is simple; never appear less than extremely happy or at peace to avoid having strangers misunderstand your expressions. After all, there is nothing worse than a woman who does not constantly exude complete joy. Hopefully, the real issue at hand is easy to identify. There have been articles and discussions about resting bitch face with the central message that women need to be aware and prevent it. Many address it as a legitimate issue that prevents potential good interactions between well-meaning people because a
woman appears intimidating or unfriendly. The claim being made is if a woman would adjust her resting facial expressions then people would not initially assume she is a bitch. The actual issue, however, is that too many people make assumptions about women based on something as minuscule as a facial expression. Assumptions such as these are not harmless, especially when they include writing a person off because they do not have a smile on their face. Unfortunately, it is incredibly easy to label someone in this way. Too many times I have wrongfully assumed and assigned inaccurate attributes to people based off of their facial expressions. Without

even conversing with them I have decided that they must not be friendly or kind. Of course there are people who are genuinely rude, and giving them a chance will not change that. But to form this opinion prematurely and based off of the perception of someone’s look denies that person the opportunity to show otherwise. I am the real bitch in this situation, as opposed to the angry-looking person I have judged. The fascination with resting bitch face and the attempts to “help” those who might have it shows that there is undeniable pressure placed on women to appear happy at all times. For some reason, it is a commonly held belief that a woman should always wear a smile. A lot

of women adopt this mindset and try to implement the “smile always” lifestyle. When women put on a happy face despite their not being happy, they are often applauded or rewarded in some way. People then do not understand that it actually is okay to look unhappy and to be unhappy, too. Instead of only telling women that they need to be aware of their facial expressions at all times in case they appear rude, the real conversation needs to be about preventing generalizations and assumptions when viewing a person and reducing the stigma about undesirable emotions. Not just women, either. People. It seems to be forgotten that men can look mean as well.

Q&A with Latin Grammy Winner Gaby Moreno Paula Gordon Editora de Bienvenidos
Lo siguiente es una pregunta-y-respuesta con Gaby Moreno, ganador del “Best New Artist” de los Latin Grammy Awards de 2013, cuando visitó NC State antes de su show en Raleigh el 9 de noviembre. Diego Cancel, conocido como DJ CANCEL en su programa de radio de WKNC, hizo la entrevista con Moreno. Esto es una selección de algunas de las preguntas de la entrevista. DJ CANCEL: ¿Y de donde eres? Gaby Moreno: Soy de Guatemala. Ahí nací, allí crecí, y a los 19 años me fui para Los Angeles, donde vivo. DJ CANCEL: ¿Como empezó tu carrera musical? Gaby Moreno: A los 5 o 6 años mi mamá descubrió que podía cantar, me metió a clases de canto y recuerdo que toda mi niñez la pasaba cantando todo el tiempo en festivales, en conciertos. A los 10 años le abrí un concierto a Ricky Martin en Guatemala, también a un grupo que en esa entonces era muy famoso que se llamaba Magneto. Y así cantaba en teletones, festivales, donde pudiera, y recuerdo que cuando ya termine mis estudios le dije a mi familia que quería salir del país para ir a buscar más oportunidades, pero esa oportunidad llego antes de que yo lo supiera. Me firmo una disquera en los Angeles, la disquera fue Warner Brothers. Y a los 18 años me fui, me fui con un contrato con Warner Brothers. Y ahí empezó todo, toda mi aventura. DJ CANCEL: ¿Cuando fue tu “Big Break,” cuando firmaste con Warner Brothers? Gaby Moreno: Pues si esa fue como la primera gran oportunidad que tuve, primero que todo porque no fue con Warner Latina, si no con Warner de Estados Unidos y era lo que yo siempre quise hacer, quería ir a cantar en Inglés. Tal vez por el género de música que tanto me gustaba, que es el Jazz, Blues, el Soul entonces pues por alguna razón a esa edad yo quería cantar en Inglés. Entonces me firma la disquera, me voy para Los Ángeles, me meto a estudiar música y se dan un montón de experiencias a partir de…pues de vivir en Los Ángeles y estar en ese ambiente musical y conocer a tanta gente. DJ CANCEL: ¿Y mensionastes los Blues y eso, ¿en Guatemala se escucha esa música
mucho? Gaby Moreno: No, fue porque yo me fui para Nueva York con mi familia, nos fuimos de vacaciones, y en Nueva York fue que escuche esta música. DJ CANCEL: ¿Y en su website hay una historia sobre una señora en Times Square que encontraste a los 13 años, podrías decirnos de esa historia? Si, específicamente así fue como escuche los Blues por primera vez, yo estaba en la calle de Times Square caminando con mi familia y en eso escuche a una señora cantando. Y me le acerque y le dije que ‘¿qué es ese estilo de música?’ Porque verdad me cautivo y me dijo ‘es Blues, this is Blues.’ Y desde entonces pues ha sido el género que me ha acompañado, que me ha influenciado, me ha inspirado siempre. DJ CANCEL: ¿Cuales son sus influencias? Gaby Moreno: Tengo influencias que van desde el Trio los Panchos, Carlos Gardel, hasta Edith Piaf, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, y los Beatles, muy variado. DJ CANCEL: ¿Donde empezó su tour? Gaby Moreno: Empezo en Miami hace unos días y de Miami nos fuimos a Tampa, ahora aquí en Raleigh, seguimos a Philadelphia y a Nueva York y ahí termina el 17 de Noviembre. DJ CANCEL: Sus albumes están en Inglés y en Español, porque cambia el lenguaje? Gaby Moreno: Pues los primeros dos discos que lance, fueron de manera independiente, no tenía disquera, entonces, cuando no tienes disquera puedes hacer lo que te de la gana, no tienes nadie diciendote que hay una agenda, verdad? Y entonces lo que quise hacer fue meter canciones en Ingles y en Español. Pero con el tercer disco, que se llama Postales, ya estaba con un disquera, aun sigo era la disquera de Ricardo Arjona, y ellos me dijeron que seria bueno hacer un disco completamente en Español, … para que fuera la introducción a el mercado Latino. DJ CANCEL: Y entonces, hablando de albumes, tienes un album Nuevo saliendo pronto, pudieras decirnos un poquito? Gaby Moreno: Tengo un album Sale el once de noviembre, es un disco navideño, con canciones tradicionales de latinoamerica en su mayoria, y se llama Posada. Y ya está disponible en iTunes.
Paula Gordan Bienvenidos Editor
The following is a quest ion-a nd-a ns wer w it h Gaby Moreno, winner of the Best New Artist from the 2013 Latin Grammy Awards, when she visited NC State before her show in Raleigh on Nov. 9. Diego Cancel, known as DJ CANCEL on his radio show through WKNC, interviewed Moreno. DJ CANCEL: Where are you from? Gaby Moreno: I’m from Guatemala. I was born there, grew up there, and at age 19 I went to Los Angeles, where I live now. DJ CANCEL: How did your musical career begin? Gaby Moreno: At 5 or 6 years my mom discovered that I could sing, got me singing lessons and I remember all my childhood was spent singing all the time at festivals and in concerts. At age 10, I opened a Ricky Martin concert in Guatemala, also Magneto, which was a very famous group at that time. And I sang in telethons, festivals, where I could, and I remember when I finished my studies I told my family that I wanted to leave the country to go find more opportunities, but before I knew it, that opportunity came: I signed a record label in Los Angeles, and the label was Warner Brothers. And at 18 I left with a contract with Warner Brothers. And that’s where my adventures began. DJ CANCEL: When was your “big break” when you
signed with Warner Brothers? Gaby Moreno: Well, that was the first great opportunity I had; first of all because it was not with Warner Latin America, but Warner in the U.S. Which was what I always wanted to do; I wanted to go to sing in English. Perhaps it was because of the genres of music that I loved, which are jazz, blues and soul. That for some reason at that age I wanted to sing in English. Then I signed the record. I went to Los Angeles; I got to study music and got a lot of experience ... because of living in L.A. and being in the music scene and meeting so many people. DJ CANCEL : And you mentioned the blues. Is that kind of music heard a lot in Guatemala? Gaby Moreno: No, it was because I went to New York with my family, where we went on vacation, and it was in New York that I first heard that music. DJ CANCEL: And on your website there is a story about a lady in Times Square you found at age 13. Could you tell us that story? Gaby Moreno: Yes, that’s how I heard blues for the first time. I was in Times Square walking on the street with my family and heard a lady singing. And I approached and asked her, ‘what is that style of music?’ Because it really captivated me, and she said “It’s blues; this is blues.” And since then it has been the genre that has stayed with me, influenced me and has always inspired me. DJ CANCEL: What were your greatest influences?
Gaby Moreno: They range from the Trio Los Panchos, Carlos Gardel to Edith Piaf, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and the Beatles, very varied! DJ CANCEL: Where did you begin this tour? Gaby Moreno: It started a few days ago in Miami. From Miami we went to Tampa, now here in Raleigh, and we continue to Philadelphia, then New York and that ends on November 17. DJ CANCEL: And your albums have been in both English and Spanish. Why did you switch languages? Gaby Moreno: For the first two albums I released, they were produced independently. I didn’t have a label, and when you don’t have a label you do what you want. You don’t have anyone telling you that there’s an agenda, right? And so all I wanted to do was put songs in English and in Spanish. But with the third album, which is called Postales, and was with a record, specifically was Ricardo Arjona’s label, they told me it would be good to make an album entirely in Spanish... that would be a good introduction to the Latin Market. DJ CANCEL: And then, speaking of albums, you have a new album coming out soon. Could you tell us a little bit about it? Gaby Moreno: I have an album that comes out November 11, a Christmas album with traditional songs, mostly in Latin America, and is called Posada. It’s available now on iTunes.
Festival celebra multiculturalísmo de los Griegos Kevin Schaefer Editor asociado de Features
Traducido por Natalie Bohorquez Una multitud de estudiantes se reunieron en Wolf Plaza para celebrar la vida griega multicultural de NC State este lunes por la noche. Distintas organizaciones se acomodaron en mesas específicas y una serie de artistas, entre ellos bailarines árabes y artistas de hip-hop, crearon un ambiente de alta energía para los estudiantes e invitados. El primer Multicultural Greek Council Yard Show fue compuesto por 12 organizaciones dedicadas a resaltar la diversa vida griega de la universidad. Leah Chevis, estudiante de último año de moda y textil y miembro de Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority Incorporated, dijo que ella y el resto del MGC tiene la intención de establecer este festival como un evento anual. “Theta Nu Xi ha estado aquí desde 1990, y somos una de las organizaciones griegas menos conocidas en el campus,” dijo Chevis. “Así que mi idea para esto era realmente sólo para que el campus conozca quiénes somos como organización.” El MGC ha estado esperando que este evento sucediera desde hace varios años, según Chevis. Ella dijo que lanzó la idea durante el verano y supervisó el proceso de planificación. “Creo que en un mundo cada vez más globalizado, conocer acerca de otras culturas es importante, y eso
es lo que fomentamos,” dijo Chevis. “Estamos tratando de conseguir que la gente entienda las diferentes culturas.” Antes de la parte de entretenimiento del show, Theta Nu Xi y otras organizaciones presentes establecieron mesas para hablar con la gente acerca de lo que son. Jessica Gallo, estudiante de segundo año de moda y textil y la gestión de la silla social de Mi Familia, dijo que su organización asistió con el fin de abogar por la comunidad latina en el campus. “La razón por la que estamos aquí es para unir a la comunidad latina, de estar aquí con otras minorías en el campus y anunciar nuestra presencia,” dijo Gallo. “Para sentir como se expresa nuestra cultura, y también para asegurarnos de que las personas que no conocen mucho acerca de nuestra cultura, sepan cuáles son nuestros motivos y que es lo que estamos haciendo.” Growing Cartagena, estudiante de último año en ingeniería civil y Vicepresidente de Lambda Theta Phi, dijo que las actuaciones ofrecidas fueron una mezcla de pasear, caminar y saludar, porque cada organización tiene diferentes tradiciones a seguir. “Solo esperamos salir y mostrar nuestras hermandades o fraternidades individuales, así como representar a todo nuestro consejo en la universidad y para cualquier persona que quiera venir a aprender acerca de lo que somos y lo que hacemos, ayudar a mantener el campus diversificado y mostrar nuestra culturas individuales,” dijo Cartagena. Baile árabe, grupos de hip
hop y varios otros talentosos artistas proveyeron entretenimiento para las decenas de estudiantes que se reunieron en torno a ellos. Natalie Rollan, estudiante de posgrado en administración de la educación superior y asesora del MGC, expresó su entusiasmo por el evento, ya que ayuda a su organización extender su misión de la conciencia multicultural en el campus. “Lo que muchos de ellos están haciendo es mostrar sus tradiciones como fraternidades y hermandades,” dijo Rollan. “Algunos de ellos lo hacen saludando, algunos de ellos con paso, y algunos de ellos de paseo. Algunos están haciendo bailes culturales. Mucho de esto se basa en sus valores y tradiciones culturales.” Rollan dijo que el MGC tiene la intención que esto no sólo se convierta en un evento anual, pero para que también se incorpore al regreso a casa del próximo año. Además de los miembros de la vida griega multicultural en NC State, Chevis dijo que incluso conto con la participación de la fraternidad de su hermano de UNC Charlotte. “Estamos usando nuestras conexiones para llegar a tantas personas como sea posible aquí y mostrar el talento que tenemos,” dijo Chevis. Para aquellos que disfrutaron de este evento, Chevis también dijo que el MGC será el anfitrión de un escaparate en la primavera con aún más organizaciones que las que participaron en este evento.

Knockout cast, elaborate sets in fall play Around the World in 80 Days University Theatre
Marie Anna Rice Staff Writer
NC State University Theatre’s performance of Around the World in 80 Days is extremely fun, never boring, and visually captivating. The play itself details the journey of Phileas Fogg (Thomas Bouchard), Passepartout (Izzy Burger) and their various companions as they attempt to circumnavigate the world in 80 days. By far, the most outstanding aspect of the play is the creativity in which it is executed, which is immediately
evident in the production’s set pieces. The transitions from scene to scene are notable in their innovation, as various props are used in order to signify a change in setting. To demonstrate the train’s movement from one place to another, a toy train is pulled across the stage. A boat skimming the ocean is represented by a model that seems to near its destination through an approaching projection. In the midst of traveling, the set pieces stay primarily the same with small, ingenious additions providing ambience. The portal built into the set opens during scenes to reveal the different places the characters travel to, and likewise the lighting and projections change in order to
indicate weather. It’s a testament to the novelty of the set pieces that the transitions between settings are never monotonous. [The actors sway back and forth in response to the movements of their vehicles whenever on a boat or train, and these bits are frequently accompanied by songs hummed by the cast.] The backdrop itself, though consistent, is impressive in its construction. It features gears and moving parts that lend thematically to the play in its relation to time. Its interactive aspects and cogs resemble the inside of a watch and aid the audience in remembering that time is always ticking as Fogg, the protagonist, faces various obstacles in his 80day journey.
In addition to the set, the costumes are also highly influenced by steampunk. An experienced cosplayer would approve. As far as acting goes, everyone does their job competently and with a confidence that can only be gained from many hours of practice. The performers impersonate exaggerated accents that are vastly enjoyable, though in some infrequent cases verging on cloying. Bouchard plays Fogg with an appropriate air of sophisticated, proud coldness—just what one would anticipate from such a “mathematical” person. However, though he and Destiny McNeill (Aouda, Fogg’s love interest) perform wonderfully throughout the production, it is hard
to believe that love is able to develop between the two through their highly formal interactions. The distance of Fogg and the soft-spoken nature of Aouda seem like traits that would clash rather than lead to a lasting romantic relationship. Burger as Passepartout is a stand-out as she chews scenery with a French accent that is equally absurd and charming. Casting Burger in what is typically a male role is a stroke of brilliance. Both Burger and Blair Downs as Fix, the detective that hunts Fogg throughout the play, are especially adept in physical comedy and add life to their roles through slapstick. Bouchard and Burger are perfect foils of one another in their roles. Their characters,
to this extent, work best when playing off of one another. While Fogg represents control, Passepartout represents a lack thereof, and this disparity is used to the players’ best advantage. Outside of the lead actors, the ensemble deserves just as much praise. The supporting cast members prove themselves to be equally important as they inhabit the worlds the main characters step into. While the leads establish first and foremost where they are, the ensemble fills the setting out, giving it life. University Theatre’s production of Around the World in 80 Days is an exercise in creativity and boundlessness, featuring proficient performances and a commanding sense of direction.
Student publication opens doors for further research Kevin Schaefer Associate Features Editor
Katherine Waller Staff Writer
When NC State student Eric Alexy was working for neighbor back in high school, little did he know the experience would mark the beginning of his chemistry career. Now a senior studying chemistry, Alexy recently published a paper focused on a series of molecules he synthesized. Alexy said that this neighbor, who was in industrial chemistry, sparked his interest in the field. Starting his freshman year, Alexy started working in a lab with his advisor Jonathan Lindsey, a professor in chemistry. Alexy and Lindsey focus on groups of molecules called porphyrins, which according to Alexy are found within any type of photosynthetic plant. According to Alexy, the research, funded by the department of solar sciences, is designed to understand what happens in solar harvesting systems. “The more absorption we get of light, the more energy you get,” Alexy said. “We are trying to broaden out how much light is absorbed. We’ve achieved broad absorption in a single molecule.” Alexy said the lab has been working on the specific group of molecules for 15 to 20 years. “The last set we worked with absorbed lights across the whole visible
spectrum, which was quite unique,” Alexy said. Alexy said that the paper is short and only hits on the highlights of the molecules and what makes them interesting. While it does not go into extreme detail about the intricate measurements they have taken of the molecules, Alexy said he does plan on writing a more in-depth paper sometime in the future. Several other projects have branched off of his research, Alexy said. In order to acquire a more detailed analysis of the molecules Alexy synthesized, he and Lindsey reached out to Elena Jakubikova, an assistant professor in chemistry. “Our research started by the results that Eric obtained,” Jakubikova said. “Eric synthesized these molecules and mentioned their properties. What we’ve found is that there is a lot of flexibility in these molecules.” Jakubikova is now collaborating with graduate student Judah High and undergraduate Kyle Virgil on continuing Alexy’s research. “What they (Eric and his team) were attempting to do was create molecules that absorb well in all areas of the visible spectrum,” High said. “The whole purpose of making these is to absorb light. They were excited but the question was ‘why are they doing this?’ We started by looking at the porphyrin by itself.” Jakubikova said that she, High and Virgil got involved with this project about a year ago. According

Eric Alexy, a senior studying chemistry, stands in the lab in which he works in Dabney Hall. Alexy recently published a research paper on solar harvesting molecules and their applications for potential light harvesting. “This research has really been an eye-opening experience for me, and enhanced my resolve to work on problems pertaining to the environment,” Alexy said.
to Alexy, it took him about seven to eight months to synthesize the five main molecules which are highlighted in his paper. In terms of synthesizing the molecules, Alexy said that he and his team start by buying simple starting materials. Then they buy reactions, or routes of transformations, and build up complexity of the molecules through the series of reactions. He said it tends to be a very
long process. Regarding the progress Alexy and his team have made, he said there is still room for further research. “We can do a lot with organic synthesis, but we want to do more, and I want to research the complexities of organic synthesis and developing new reactions and just being able to make more,” Alexy said. “If we can come up with some kind of computational method, we can have a more
targeted approach to our synthetic work.” Alexy said he plans to attend graduate school and continue his research. “If you told me in high school that I would be working in a lab, I wouldn’t believe you,” Alexy said.

Hurricanes are coming off their bye week after beating North Carolina in a blowout victory the week before. However, they’re waking up to what will be an unpleasant matchup against in-state rival No. 2 Florida State in a primetime game Saturday night. North Carolina (4-5, 2-3) – With over half of this division coming off a bye week, the rankings don’t change from here on out. The Tar Heels look to rebound against Pittsburgh and take a step closer to bowl eligibility after their two-game win streak ended in Miami the week before. Pittsburgh (4-5, 2-3) – The Panthers spent their bye week digesting a what could have been loss to Duke the week before after missing a short field goal and breaking down in overtime. They can claim fourth place in the Coastal division and get one win away from becoming bowl eligible with a win against North Carolina Saturday. Virginia (2-6, 2-4) – The Cavs played it close, but ultimately couldn’t come away with a victory against No. 2 Florida State Saturday. Sophomore quarterback Greyson Lambert looked impressive in the loss, but the team only mustered up 37 rushing yards. The Cavs will head into their bye week preparing for their final two games of the season against Miami and Virginia Tech. Virginia Tech (4-5, 1-4) – The Hokies come off their bye week to face the leader of the division, No. 19 Duke. Lucky for them, the Blue Devils have played it close against mediocre teams over the past few weeks, so maybe that gives them a chance.
lutely any hope for State to mount a comeback; in reality, there was not, and this decision forces a pressing question: Can athletes be expected to make rational decisions when their reputations depend on putting personal health to the side? “To understand that we do have another game next week and we need to win,” Brissett said. “I was just honestly still thinking that there was time on the clock so we can still have a chance to come
back and win.” Luckily, Brissett was able to make it through the game without further injury and even added another touchdown in the fourth quarter, but the decision was obviously a gamble, one that just happened to turn out in the Wolfpack’s, and Doeren’s, favor. A 5623 loss is a blowout only marginally smaller than 56-16, and considering the weight of the two upcoming games and the health of the athlete, in hindsight it’s tough to say whether keeping him in was the smartest choice.

tic finishing and fine crossing, while his dipping volley against Virginia Tech was a memorable highlight reel goal. State’s probably player of the season, however, was junior goalkeeper McCauley. The Marietta, Georgia, native put any questions of his capability at taking over from Otte to rest, and he’ll keep his place between the sticks next year. McCauley recorded 72 saves on the season, but his pinnacle was a 12-stop effort against nationallyranked Louisville, which included a penalty kick save. Given the defense’s changes

over the course of the season, allowing only 23 goals in 18 games is a decent record. The Wolfpack began the season with a back four of senior Ryan Metts, senior Clement Simonin, freshman Conor Donovan and junior Reed Norton. By the ACC tournament, injury issues and competition saw senior Matt Ingram, and freshmen Donovan, Matias Fracchia and Caleb Duvernay tasked with protecting goal. With 75 percent of this defense returning next year, head coach Kelly Findley only has to decide who takes over at right back, vacated by the graduating Metts and Ingram. Over the course of the season, State struggled with injuries to key players. Despite the team’s depth, clear holes arose midway
through the year when the center back Simonin, freshman striker Ade Taiwo and senior striker Nick Surkamp all struggled for fitness. Simonin forced an accelerated integration for Fracchia, who produced a few promising but errorfilled performances that cost the team points before he settled in with the defensive unit. Up front, with both target strikers sidelined, Norton was forced into a central role. Sophomore midfielder Yanni Hachem and freshman wide forward Ryan Peterson also spent time in central roles. Without a natural striker up top, the team struggled to score from open play. Tactically, State also evolved but found a comfort zone that will probably persist in 2015. After

an unsuccessful experiment with 4-4-2, the Pack returned to a flexible 4-3-3 formation to facilitate its combination of interior passers, and quick, direct wingers. With team points leader Michael Bajza, consistent metronome and field general Holden Fender, barreling offensive juggernaut Knudson and versatile substitute Roland Minogue all returning next season, the midfield is completely established. NC State may have finished the year with an average record, but with just one starting position in need of a replacement and an attack-minded 2015 recruiting class, the Wolfpack has stability, continuity and fewer questions heading into Findley’s fifth year at the helm.

Duke, ‘Noles continue to dominate Women’s Basketball Player wins Leader of the Pack Award
Junior NC State women’s basketball player Ashley Eli won the Leader of the Pack award, the school announced at halftime of the homecoming game against Georgia Tech on Saturday. After, she participated in the 70-52 Wolfpack victory over the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears in the women’s basketball scrimmage. Eli became the first student athlete to win the award since its inception back in 2002. Entering her third year as a member of the basketball team, Eli has played in 49 games in her first two seasons. SOURCE: GOPACK.COM

No. 2 Florida State (9-0, 6-0) – Despite more ball security issues from quarterback Jameis Winston, the ‘Noles won their 25th consecutive game in a 3420 victory against Virginia Saturday. Winston himself said his interceptions have been hurting the team, but the sophomore once again overcame them to lead his team to yet another victory as FSU makes a serious push to get to the national championship once again. No. 18 Clemson (7-2, 6-1) – The Tigers had a surprisingly hard time against a weak Wake Forest team in a 34-20 victory Thursday night. However, they were able to pull away late behind big plays from freshman wide receiver Artavis Scott and freshman running back Wayne Gallman. The Tigers hope that QB Deshaun Watson can return from injury for what will be a much tougher matchup against No. 24 Georgia Tech. Louisville (7-3, 5-3) – Fueled by wide receiver Devante Parker’s third straight 100-yard game since returning from in-

QUOTE OF THE DAY

The defense added two touchdowns, which was a big improvement for a unit that struggled at times this season. The Yellow Jackets will look to prove their worth in their final two games against No. 21 Clemson and No. 20 Georgia. Miami (6-3, 3-2) – The

Pack’s season ends prematurely, but bright future exists Jordan Beck Associate Sports Editor
After last Wednesday’s loss to Duke in the first round of the ACC tournament, the NC State men’s soccer team finished its season on a decidedly low note, but the team answered the tough questions left at the end of 2013. With a solid core of young players and a talented recruiting class waiting for 2015, the Wolfpack (7-7-4, 14-3 ACC) is on much better footing than last year, when the team’s two best attacking players, midfielders Alex Martinez and Nazmi Albadawi, as well as star goalkeeper Fabian Otte, all graduated. The Pack renewed its ranks with one of the top recruiting classes in the country, ranked third by Top Drawer Soccer, but entered the fall of 2014 needing answers. Who would carry the team’s creative mantle? Would junior goalkeeper Alex McCauley continue the promising play he showed in the spring? How would the rebuilt defense handle itself against the top attacking teams in the ACC? 2014 saw the emergence of fresh-
man attacking midfielder Zach Knudson and sophomore winger Travis Wannemuehler as the creative offensive catalysts for the Wolfpack moving forward. Knudson’s blend of balance, acceleration, touch and aggression quickly embedded him as a starter, putting in work both on and off the ball. His incisive dribbling and intense defending endeared him to NC State fans. The midfielder ended the season with four goals, tied with four Pack players for the team lead in goals. The New Jersey native’s solo run and finish against Virginia Tech stands as a high point of his season. Wannemuehler enjoyed a massive improvement after a zero goal, zero assist 2013 campaign. The winger notched three goals and four assists over the course of the season and proved himself as one of the Pack’s most dangerous players, adept at generating separation between himself and a defender before picking out passes. His goal and assist in a 2-1 win against then-No. 5 Louisville remain great examples of his opportunis-

Down 49-16 in the third quarter, star quarterback and redshirt junior Jacoby Brissett took a devastating shot to the ribs, leaving him slow to get up. Brissett, the player who has nearly single-handedly carried the NC State offense at times, returned to the game after taking this hit and played meaningless minutes in a game already out of reach. “He got hit in the ribs early in the game and he got the wind knocked out of him on the play,” NC State head coach Dave Doeren said. “But, when he got over there and caught his wind he wasn’t as beat up as he originally thought.” Brissett, who was checked for a punctured lung on the sideline after the hit, had taken many big hits during the contest, due both to the Yellow Jackets’ fierce pass rush and a high number of designed quarterback runs. In a game that was past the point of a respectable loss, every person in the stadium in Wolfpack red, and even some in Georgia Tech gold, had to wonder what benefits existed by keeping Brissett under center. “I would have taken him out if I wanted to take him out, and at that point of the game he wanted to stay in, and our guys were continuing to play hard trying to get a score,” Doeren said. “We have pride in our team; we don’t just want to put a guy in there and not get anything done.” The Michigan Wolverines had a similar instance earlier in the season, when quarterback Shane Morris was sent back into a game that he was taken out of due to concussion symptoms. The young quarterback then collapsed on the field due to his severe injury and head coach Brady Hoke, who was responsible for sending Morris back into the game, has since come under fire for his decision
that put a possible win ahead of his player’s safety. The president of the University of Michigan has since criticized the handling of Morris’s concussion, and while the situations are no doubt different, both deal with a coaching decision that risked a player’s health, albeit Morris’ injury was far more serious. With that said, Doeren had to know that this game was a lost cause, and with two games coming up against conference teams, Wake Forest and UNC-Chapel Hill, teams that both beat NC State last year and teams that the Pack has to beat to become bowl eligible, he had to know how costly losing his starting quarterback would be. Yet the idea of a magical comeback proved to be too much to pull the redshirt junior. “Early on, things were going the way we thought they would,” Doeren said. “It was a back-and-forth game. We thought it was going to be that way and we would go score for score, but things backfired with the two turnovers.” An injury to Brissett could have been the difference between going into next season on a three-game win streak and a bowl victory, and Doeren being on the hot seat at the season’s end. With only one win in the Atlantic Coast Conference in two years, the need to beat the Demon Deacons and the Tar Heels has to outweigh keeping Brissett in the game just to put one more score on the board. Brissett also has to shoulder some of the blame for the questionable decision to stay in the game. Doeren asked the talented quarterback if he wanted to go back into the game and he replied like any coach would want his player to, by saying he wanted to play every snap. This would have been a motivational statement if there was abso-
