U.S. workers’ assessments of whether their job requires a college degree
Correspondent
A recent Gallup poll found that four out of 10 working college graduates say their work doesn’t require a degree. Gallup Organization, which provides news about the United States, world polls and public opinion research, reported that less than half of college graduates employed full or part time in the U.S. say the type of work they do does not require a bachelor’s degree. Jerome Lavelle, associate dean of Academic Affairs in the College of Engineering, said the data illustrates today’s workplace. “The data perhaps reflect the dynamics of today’s workplace characterized by elevated unemployment across the board, depressed labor force participation, elevated underemployment and long-term employment, depressed wage growth and dis-proportionate growth in low-wage sectors.” Lavelle said. However, the poll also found the need for a college degree has risen during the past decade. Although 57 percent of

Speakers discussed obesity, malnutrition and healthy living at the “Over and Under Nutrition: Exploring the Global Epidemic” seminar held on Monday. Megan Landwehr, communications and media specialists of the Office of International Affairs, brought together a panel of esteemed professionals from varied and relevant fields to discuss the topics. Marian McCord, N.C. State global health initiative director and professor of textiles and biomedical engineering, moderated the event. McCord said the seminars are great way for students to become of aware global issues. “We want to expose students to global and local health issues, and get them thinking about ways they can make an impact,” McCord said. “Also, just as part of the Office of International Affairs, our mission is to bring a global perspective to the campus, and we think that events like these are really helpful.” Since the fall semester of 2009, the Office of International Affairs has hosted multiple series of Global Issue Seminars based on a variety of worldwide themes. “[These panels] show how we can pull in all of our partners and expertise right here at N.C. State to really solve these global problems,” Landwehr said. Bob Gibson, a professor of functional food science at the

Students learn how to design the world’s tallest building Jacqueline Lee Correspondent
William F. Baker, lead engineer of the Burj Khalifa, spoke to engineering students Monday night about his experience designing the world’s tallest building. Baker, the structural engineering partner for Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, LLP. was this year’s speaker
for the annual Paul Zia Distinguished Lecture Series. “Today’s lecture puts N.C. State at the forefront of what is happening throughout the world and linking students to those exciting projects,” Dean Penny, the committee chair of the lecture series, said. According to Penny, the event continued its tradition of presenting leaders of ground-breaking projects in
the field of engineering. Louis A. Martin-Vega, dean of the College of Engineering, spoke at the event and talked about the importance of engineering jobs in the workforce. “This is important to be able to have events like this,” Martin-Vega said. “It is important to keep sending the message out that what underlines so much of what happens in our society is the
work of people with engineering backgrounds and the unsung work that they do to try to benefit us all.” Baker’s presentation about working on the Burj project gave students a rare experience to hear from a worldrenowned engineer. “Baker’s work was amazing and very impressive,”said Mohamed Nafadi, a graduate student in civil engineering.
“It was incredible to see the amount of work on the project.” Baker also gave tips and advice to students studying engineering. “Number one: don’t panic if there is a problem,” Baker said. “Also, try to keep your design simple and your ideas clear. Don’t get seduced into complexity just because you can do it. Try to have self-
discipline and be in control of the design. He spoke about his style of work, explaining that simplicity is a central feature to the design of all of his projects. According to Baker, what’s built has to be useful and art cannot get in the way of usefulness. The Burj Khalifa has a

Fountain Dining Hall gets a dish washing makeover
Jake Moser News Editor
Fountain Dining Hall introduced a dish washing system this year to save energy and provide a better experience for students. The new system includes
a machine, dubbed “the Accumulator,” which replaced the 30-year-old conveyor belt system previously used to collect dirty dishes from students as they left Fountain. The new device has multiple levels of trays, which allows several students to dis-
card their dishes at the same time instead of waiting in a long line, according to Keith Smith, director of board operations/sustainability for University Dining. The accumulator also eliminated

Carmichael Gymnasium officially began using the newly installed turnstiles as a method of entry into the complex on Monday, Sept. 9. University Recreation implemented this new system to solve several problems with the previous sign-in method. Before the introduction of the turnstiles, students and members would hand their ID card to a receptionist to be swiped. However, the Carmichael Gym staff members noticed several issues with the process. University Recreation employees observed that students and members would walk past the desk receptionist without swiping their cards. Director of University Recreation Eric Hawkes said he joined the administration team two years ago in order to help resolve some of these
problems. “For us, that is obviously a concern as it relates to risk management, and more importantly for you, as students, to make sure that only students and members are accessing the facilities that they ultimately fund,” Hawkes said. Jason Spivey, associate director of University Recreation, also said he agrees that this system will prove to be more efficient than the old system. “The process for accessing the space will be same as prior to installing the turnstiles,” Spivey said. “The turnstiles will allow for better access control to the recreational spaces of Carmichael Gym and the Recreation Center.” However, with the installment of three turnstile systems, there is a rather large price tag on this project. “The total project, the architects, the design and the
turnstiles themselves were right around $200, 000,” Hawkes said. Hawkes said that even though the project was costly, the decision to implement the new system was made well before budget cuts began to take effect. “Going into the project, we were not quite at the economic climate that we are in right now,” Hawkes said. Still, University Recreation is always looking for new and innovative ways to improve the entire complex, according to Hawkes. “We have worked very, very hard over the past two years in identifying projects that will enhance and improve the operations…in order to maintain a safe and quality space for our students and members,” Hawkes said. The project, which was supposed to be completed last year, is now open and accessible for all patrons.

University of Adelaide in Australia, talked about the growing obesity epidemic within Australia’s borders. “The latest figures show 4 million Australians, or 26 percent of the adult population, are obese,” Gibson said. “In April 2008, the Australian Federal Government added obesity to its list of national health priorities.” As a result of these alarming demographics, Australian government officials sought to fight the mounting threat in different ways. The government of New South Wales sought to implement funding policies for weight loss surgery, while radical television advertisements strived to shock the Australian population into action. “We’ve got to change our attitude and vision of ourselves if we hope to fight the obesity of our nation,” Gib-

Students and admissions department get social Siri Smits Correspondent
More students utilize social media for information about colleges, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education. Earlier this month, the publication reported that the number of students using social media websites and applications to learn about colleges has more than doubled in the last four years. The Art and Science Group, a higher-education consulting firm, conducted a survey in November and December of 2012 and found that 44 percent of prospective college students had used social media sites as an aid in their college searches—an increase of 26 percent since 2008. Thomas Griffin, director of Undergraduate Admissions at N.C. State, said social media is a tool a lot of people are investigating. According to

Part of the process of making [Fountain] more user friendly for the customer.” The accumu lator a lso uses energy more efficiently, Smith said. According to Smith, the previous conveyor-belt model used power and water continuously as it rotated, and the Accumulator only uses power when the tray racks are full. The dishwashers also only use water when the accumulator passes dishes to the washing

Lavelle also said that the poll would have likely found different results from N.C. State students. Jobs in fields such as engineering, business and education require a Bachelor’s degree. The credential is a necessity for employment. “Whereas the data from the Gallup poll is broad-based across many job sectors, I suspect one would find a very different picture for graduates working with most NC State degrees”, said Lavelle. Lavelle said that having an N.C. State diploma is a great start for competing for STEM positions. “In addition…internships, co-operative education, international experiences, undergraduate research, and student leadership or service activities all provide the bases to find and excel at these types of jobs,” said Lavelle. Kara Prost, a senior in
Griffin, social media websites are necessary because students want to receive information from multiple channels. “Students are consuming much information from multimedia nowadays,” Griffin said. In times without social media, it was more difficult for students and parents to find out about universities, Griffin said. It was also harder for representatives from admissions to spread the word about their colleges. “We still get people who call on the phone and use more traditional outlets, but social media is one more way to communicate—one more way we have to reach out to students,” said Griffin. The Art and Science Group reported that more students utilized social media during their college search to learn about a college’s scene and
room. “Technology has changed in the way [the dish-washing system] uses water and heats it up,” Smith said. “The new system uses a lot less water compared to the previous 30-years-old machines. The new system also uses electrical heating instead of steam, which is more efficient.” Smith also said the new system also includes an anaerobic digester that breaks down uneaten food in a more energy-efficient way. “When dishes go to the other side of the dish washing counter, [dishwashers] put the food into a trough which goes down into a grinder, which puts it into the anaerobic digester,” Smith said. “Within a day, food is reduced to grayish water.” Previously, solid food waste would be taken to a compost facility in Goldston, N.C., about an hour away. Now it can be processed on site.
finance and international studies, was motivated to attend a four-year university to get a job after graduation. “My parents pushed me to go to college and were really supportive with paying for tuition,” Prost said. According to Prost, it isn’t possible to get a career in finance without a college degree. Gallup also found that two-thirds of workers with professional, executive or administrative jobs say that a college degree is needed in their line of work. The need for a college degree remains at 50 percent for those in all other white-collar jobs. “A college degree has traditionally been viewed as the gateway to opportunity, self-determination, individual prosperity and economic independence,” Lavelle said. “Despite today’s potential game-changing influences, I sincerely believe that there is no better investment for the individual, state and/or nation than education.”

student body rather than its academics and reputation. To help spread the word about N.C. State, Griffin said the admissions department uses Twitter. The account @ncsuadmissions has more than 1,800 followers and informs followers about student life and campus events. Griffin said the department also blogs. Collegebound.net recently rated the N.C. State Undergraduate Admissions blog one of the top 22 college blogs to read for its “informative and entertaining reads.” Students such as Will Sutton, a sophomore in agriculture business management, use social media to stay informed about events at N.C. State. Sutton said he uses Facebook and Twitter to keep up with college meetings and recreational events. “Social media informs you of important events that go on throughout campus,” said
Sutton. However, not all students use social media to inform themselves about colleges or college events. Jessica Goolsby, a senior in criminology, said she uses Twitter to follow sports fan pages, which keep her updated on games and scores. But she didn’t use social me-
dia to research the University. Goolsby said she only used Google to research N.C. State before choosing to apply. Likewise, Tera Thompson, a freshman in First Year College, said social media did not play a role in her decision to attend N.C. State. It was only after she officially chose N.C. State that she began using
social media as a resource to keep up with university events. The Art and Science report was based on a random national sample of SAT takers planning to attend a four-year college. Thirty-nine thousand prospective students were asked to take the survey and 1,138 contributed.

Universities teach more than trades

ifty-seven percent of workers in the United States say their current jobs do not “generally require a bachelor’s degree from a college or university or some other advanced academic degree,” according to a Gallup poll released Sept. 9. This might not be hard to believe considering that 61 percent of U.S. workers are blue collar workers, according to the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation. But the statistics are surprising even if we remove the blue-collar workers — 49 percent of those in white-collar jobs (with the exception of professional, executive or managerial workers) say a college degree is not needed in their line of work. This does not mean we should all drop out of N.C. State. Like most things, we should take the study with a grain of salt. Many employ-

Maybe the workers surveyed don’t think that what they learned in college influences their day-to-day work activity, but chances are their college degree helped them get the job. High school rarely provides the networking opportunities and soft skill cultivation that college does. Jerome Lavelle, director of academic affairs for the college of engineering, lists off the myriad of benefits a university offers outside of education. Internship, co-ops, undergraduate research and mentor relationships with professors are just a few.
In short, universities are not trade schools. There’s a reason N.C. State requires students to enroll in a variety of GEP classes. A diverse education, complete with history, science, literature and math, is necessary for the diverse working world. The value of a university degree is the ability to think critically and to become more open-minded and able to contribute to society. We ask that no one misinterpret the results of the Gallup poll to devalue a college education. English 101 may not increase someone’s ability to fill out timesheets, but it certainly can improve written communication. Wom-
en’s studies may not teach someone proper phone etiquette, but it can definitely teach empathy for another cultural demographic. Higher education is increasingly concentrated on getting better jobs, as Gov. Pat McCrory put it last year. We’ll admit that yes, we all would like jobs. However, we hope to take more from college than simple trade skills because as Gallup’s respondents showed, we don’t always need a bachelor’s degree for that. We think Gallup’s respondents were a little too harsh on themselves. Perhaps their current jobs did not require the hard skills of statistics or calculus. However, when it comes to their soft skills — their ability to work on a team, their ability to express ideas, their ability to investigate claims — we think it’s safe to say the college educations were invaluable.

Above the law and behind a gun
C
ha rlot te pol ice wrongfully killed a man on Satur-
day. In the early morning of Saturday, Sept. 14, a woman heard a knock on her door at about 2 a.m. She said she t houg ht it was her husband whom she had been waiting for, Taylor Quinn b u t w h e n Staff Columnist she realized it wasn’t, she quickly shut the door and called the police. She said that a man was trying to break into her house. The person at the door was Jonathan Ferrell, 24, who was in a car accident shortly before and walked to the closest house for help. When the police arrived, Ferrell started toward them for help, “prompting” one officer to shoot him with a stun gun, which proved unsuccessful in stopping him. According to CNN, the police told the man to stop, but the man kept running. One officer then shot Ferrell multiple times, killing him at the scene. Ferrell was unarmed. The officer who killed him did not shoot him in the leg or in the foot, but in the chest multiple times. The cop made a huge mistake, and
an innocent life was lost because of it. A man with a family and a future lost his life because of miscommunication and poor decision-making. That is completely sickening — and unfortunately this is not the first occurrence of such an incidence. In August, a man was shot 15 times in his driveway because he was mistaken for a car thief. Just this month, t wo women were wounded in New York City because of a misfire. A few years ago in Seattle a teenage boy was shot in the leg several times by police because they mistook his cell phone for a gun. Must I continue? Granted I do understand that minds think differently when they are put in stressful situations, and I know that fight or flight is a real thing, but when that oath is taken and that uniform has your name on it I believe your mindset has to change. You have to be able to make those hard decisions seamlessly without a single drop of sweat. I do think, though, that sometimes an officer’s pride gets in the way of his or her
decision-making. Too many times I’ve seen officers on a “high horse” and see them feel as though they are above the law. Mostly everybody has flipped on the news to hear the same story of a kid getting beaten by the police for committing a small offense or for doing nothing at all. I think they should stop waving their guns around just because they have a badge. They should put them back in t heir holsters and think before they pull the trigger because behind that uniform is a person, just like the person being aimed at. I guess they just get trigger-happy. But hey, who knows — maybe when a police uniform is put on it really does make the human in it an all around better person and of higher status than those who do not sport that classic tight, black outfit.

are even getting that much. Unfortunately, this is not the case for revenue-sport athletes. “ … football and men’s basketball continue to hold the lowest graduation rates among Division I sports” said Caitlin Peterkin in a study published in The Chronicle of Higher Education. Universities don’t owe scholarships to revenue-sport athletes — they are giving student athletes a huge opportunity by allowing them to play at a national level. If athletes don’t seize the opportunity, t he y c a n’t expect more compensation than they already have the good fortune to receive. Emmert spoke at Marquette University on Monday and said, “One thing that sets the fundamental tone is there’s very few members and virtually no university president that thinks it’s a good idea to convert student-athletes into paid employees — literally into professionals.” I agree with the sentiment, but with the current policies nearly forcing serious football and basketball players into colleges, the “student” part of “student-athlete” has been all but forgotten.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
In response to “recent claims made through editorials”
IN YOUR WORDS
Andrew Luck, most college athletes who participate in either football or basketball are doing so simply as a stepping stone to earn a bid to join the professional leagues — both the NBA and the NFL forbid athletes to turn pro straight out of high school. Emmert calls this required college detour an “artificial juncture.” “Why would we want to force someone to go to school when t hey really don’t want to be there?” Emmert said. In concurrence w it h t hese statements, I don’t think there is any need for athletes to attend college before joining the professional leagues. This policy would allow athletes who are looking at professional careers to concentrate on those careers rather than wasting their time and the state’s money on their scholarships. The NCAA is currently facing antitrust laws from former players who believe they’re owed millions of dollars in compensation, according to an Associated Press article. But many athletes already have scholarships, and if they value their education, they should appreciate that they

Student makes mobile app, reinvents classic game Holden Broyhill Staff Writer
With a seemingly endless list of mobile applications available for smartphone users at N.C. State, students have all the information they need at their fingertips. The TransLoc app helps students navigate the University’s bus system, while the N.C. State Sports app keeps students and fans updated on the latest Wolfpack scores. Richard Hopper, a junior in computer science, built an app for the moments between classes. The game is called Broken and was developed by Thaa-
sophobia Games, which was founded by Hopper in 2009. Thaasophobia refers to the fear of being idle, or as Hopper put it “the fear of boredom.” Even though Hopper is majoring in computer science, he said he taught himself at the time he was designing and building the app. “The framework I used did not have a great deal of support behind it,” Hopper said. “I essentially had to learn a lot through trial and error at the time.” Looking for more than just a classroom software experience, Hopper said he used Broken as a way to independently broaden his horizons.
“I made this game primarily because I wanted to try my hand at app development,” Hopper said. “I knew I could do standard school assignments, but actual software development is a completely different game.” Once Hopper learned how to use the framework, he said it took about four months to finish the app. Hopper also said he saw building an app as an opportunity to get a leg up on the competition. “I also wanted to work on an independent project to set me apart when the time came around to apply for jobs or internships,” Hopper said. “Even if the game was not a commercial success, it would
still stick out on a resume alongside other computer science students.” Hopper said computer science majors or people with an interest in games should consider building an app. Hopper said he found the construction of the app an enjoyable learning experience. “The game itself is a variant of Breakout that I decided to take in a new direction using the gyroscopic technology present in the iPhone and the iPod Touch,” Hopper said. “I changed the mechanic of the game so that the paddle f lowed in a circle around the blocks instead of a more linear layout found in other games like it.”
The game has a basic layout and features instructions for first time users. Much like Breakout, the player aims a ball toward a center construct to slowly break away pieces until they reach the center. The game features multiple levels that players can access once they have beaten the previous level. Each level becomes slowly more difficult in the size and shape of the construct and the speed of the ball. Throughout each level, a player can hit special bricks that will give the player a power up option. A player can also go faster, slower or even increase the size of the paddle by hitting certain blocs.
“I developed the game using a third-party, game-oriented development framework from a company called Ga rageGa mes,” Hopper said. “This framework used its own proprietary language for coding, which compiled down to native Objective-C to be run on iOS devices.” Hopper has released a few updates for Broken since releasing it and a lite version is also available. Hopper will continue working on new apps, but he will not be releasing them through Thaasophobia. The app can be bought through an app store for 99 cents.
Ongoing university construction goes green Emma Cathell Staff Writer
As Talley construction continues, University Sustainability Office Green Development Coordinator Liz Bowen said the University is taking great measures to make sure the buildings are sustainable and safe for the environment. “Whenever a new building is proposed, the first question is always ‘Do we need it?’” Bowen said. “It’s not a simple yes or no question, we’re going to look and make sure we actually need it.” In 2008, N.C. State committed to the President’s Climate Commitment, which requires the University to develop a climate action plan. In order to meet the requirements of the Commitment, all buildings larger than 20,000 gross square feet had to earn a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Silver Award or higher from the U.S. Green Building Council.

Talley Student Center undergoes extensive renovations as part of the New Talley Project. The ongoing construction has the potential to cause environmental problems, but Liz Bowen, green development coordinator for the University Sustainabliity Office, said the University is taking extra precautions to ensure environmental safety.
According to Bowen, Talley

has been a successful project for N.C. State’s Sustainability Office because Talley is a renovated building and does not require as many resources to build. “Talley is an addition and a renovation,” Bowen said. “Renovations are the most sustainable projects, and if you have to build, you have to build sustainably.” Park Shops and Hunt Library are both renovations as well. In 2009, Park Shops had its windows replaced and the exterior building envelope was improved. Its bricks and interior walls were maintained, but Port City Java was added which gave the building a mixed use for classrooms and community space. The Construction Activity Pollution Prevention is a pre-requisite that all LEED projects must follow and requires an erosion control plan. According to Bowen,

the erosion control plan proved useful due to all the rain Raleigh had this year. “N.C. State Environmental Health and Safety is very proactive in making sure that storm water management at building sites meets or exceeds N.C. Sedimentation and Erosion Control Law,” Bowen said. “All over campus, we are taking real steps to minimize erosion and storm water impacts, like installing cisterns, bioswales and rain gardens. We had very strange weather this year and it’s really prompted us to be even more proactive in this area.” A cistern is a tank connected to gutters that holds rainwater. Cisterns reduce the amount of water leaving a site, causing less erosion, and they also store the rainwater so it can be reused for plumbing or irrigation. Bioswales are ditch-like depressions in the ground, filled
with plants that withstand floods and droughts. Similar to rain gardens, bioswales reduce the amount of erosion on a site by containing and infiltrating the water. Another criterion of the LEED Silver Award is reducing the heat island effect, which warms urban areas during construction. Bowen said that buildings with white roofs and vegetative green roofs ref lect light and heat which help to mitigate the heat island effect. The LEED Silver Award also has areas based on reducing toxins in the air, which Bowen said is being achieved through careful selection of the cleaners and paints used across campus. “One thing that we kind of take for granted now, but has a big impact on human health is our green housekeeping program,” Bowen said. “University housekeeping cleans millions of square
feet every day. They only use non-toxic cleaners, so that is a huge toxin reduction. According to Bowen, paints used in all projects are lowvolatile organic compound paints, which are better for indoor air quality, and human and environmental health. “You know that new paint smell?” Bowen said. “You’ll notice an absence of that in our new buildings because we only use paint that has very, very little VOC, which are volatile organic compounds.” For buildings that are fewer than 20,000 gross square feet, N.C. State evaluates sustainability using a “Green Building Checklist” which is similar to the LEED guidelines. “Erosion is minimized and water and energy-efficiency improvements are incorporated as much as possible,” Bowen said. “These efforts reduce the short- and longterm environmental impacts of campus buildings.” Bowen said that by 2015, the University wants to have its water consumption reduced by 20 percent. “We also are looking into net zero, which is where a building does not consume more energy than it produces in one year,” Bowen said. By 2050, N.C. State wants to reach climate neutrality, which means the University will remove as much carbon dioxide as it emits into the atmosphere. “By applying innovations that increase occupant health and well-being while reducing the environmental footprint of campus, N.C. State models environmental, social and economic sustainability in the local and global community,” Bowen said. “We welcome student, faculty and staff ideas on improving our campus infrastructure while protecting the environment.”

Profile: World’s tallest building Joseph Havey Deputy News Editor
The Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is currently the world’s tallest building at 2,717 feet. This building, known commonly as just The Burj, is so tall that if the Empire State Building were stacked on top of itself, the resulting structure would only be a few meters taller by comparison. “The building so tall, you go through a climate change on your way to the top,” said William Baker, the chief engineer for the Burj Khalifa project. Baker was the lead speaker for Monday’s event, “Creating the Language of Architecture: Burj Khalifa and Beyond,” which was hosted at the McKimmon Center. In 2010, the Burj eclipsed Taiwan’s Taipei 101 as the official tallest building in the world, capping off a long history of skyscrapers dating back to 1885. At the end of the 19th century, inventions such as steel beams and the elevator allowed for changes in building design. Engineers no longer had to rely on the strength of the outside walls to support the weight of the building, and instead could allow a central, steel beam structure to carry the
building’s weight. Nearly 130 years later, thanks to Baker’s revolutionary design, the Burj towers over the desert landscape of Dubai. “The building is an amazing landmark achieved for the 21st century,” said Louis Martin-Vega, dean of the College of Engineering. According to Baker, the Burj relies on a Y-shaped floor plan as opposed to the traditional square shape. Baker was the lead engineer for the Burj construction project, and said that the Burj’s concrete buttressed core gives buildings a stable tripod-like stance. Narrow floors maximize both the window access and usable space. Baker said extensive planning was necessary before construction began. The Burj design underwent wind tunnel and lighting tests in preparation for the harsh Dubai conditions. “Every couple minutes the building is hit by lightning strike,” Baker said. “My inbox gets full of pictures of lightning striking the building when there’s a storm.”
Dubai’s location and economic status helped facilitate the Burj, which cost about $1.5 billion to build. GulfBusiness, a business magazine that covers the Persian Gulf, recently rated the UAE as number six on a list of richest nations in the world, based on gross domestic product per capita. The United States didn’t even make the list. “Dubai is where everyone goes to do business, and it’s very safe,” Baker said. “All western companies have a headquarters there.” The Burj is mostly residential, but certain floors toward the top include what Baker calls “prestigious boutique office spaces.” The first floor is also
home to Giorgio Armani’s first hotel. “I thought it would be great to work with a fashion designer, but it took him forever to make decisions,” Baker said of Armani. Residents of the Burj enjoy sweeping desert views and top-of-the-line amenities. The one downside, Baker said, is window cleaning. “You have to be able to wash the windows because Tom Cruise is not always available,” Baker said.

‘Insidious’ sequel retains chill factor Lauren Vanderveen Staff Writer
“The universe is deathless. It is deathless because having no finite self, it stays infinite. A sound man, by not advancing himself, stays the further ahead of himself.” These words, a modern paraphrase of the Chinese philosopher Laozi, are spoken to Josh Lambert (Patrick Wilson) in the first Insidious film. The 2011-released fright fest burst onto the cinematic scene with a unique story to tell and a highly stylized, well-thought out technique. Two years and a lot of anticipation later, the sequel unravels in a similar but no less chilling fashion.
Insidious: Chapter 2 James Wan IM Global
In the best circumstances, watching horror films with an engaged audience exposes certain movie-goer archety pes : the jumpers and gaspers, the stone faces, the “I’ll look just enough to prove I’m not a coward but not quite enough to get the full-on terrifying blast” kind, and the others who claim to know exactly what will happen and laugh through their cleverly-masked fear. Insidious: Chapter 2 is no different. You’ll be clutching the arms of your chair and calling out the safe word—
quesadilla. (Yes, that’s a reference from the movie.) In this supernatural sequel, the story takes up where it left off. The Bride in Black, Mother of Death — painted-on face, bloody teeth and all — hides in closets and screams in our faces. Elise (Lin Shaye), the medium, is dead but tries to help from the other side. And astral projection “travelers” are still at large. At the end of the first film, Josh entered The Further to retrieve his son Dalton (Ty Simpkins), and was subsequently possessed by the insidious Bride in Black — a spirit that haunted him as a child. Through flashbacks, viewers grapple with Josh’s fre-
quent proximity to the paranormal divulging several levels of storyline not explained in first time film. Expect a lot more Barbara Hershey as Lorraine to appreciate. Same goes for Rose Byrne as Renai, the wife of Josh. I love her acting style. It seems just so inherently an extension of her that, even in a crazy situation, every facet of the character is genuine. The parallel scenarios played out by both maternal figures Lorraine and Renai, as well as the father-son duo of Josh and Dalton, reinforces the motif of history repeating itself. Wilson portrays a character with a split-personality. He nails the concerned patriarch figure, but as a homicidal
spirit, he tips the scale just slightly into over-exaggerated acting. In the latter, he becomes gaunt, unapproachable and unreliable. So much so that his own mother and wife are terrified of him — the same stable guy that heroically risked his life for his family in the first film. The climax of events is replicated similarly in the second film with music composed by Joseph Bishara. Clunking piano keys, ominous silences and snaps create a John Cage-esque jarring resonance which incites fear. What made Insidious 2 so impressive, and what made the first impressive, is the exploration of “The Further.” The possibility of a separate
realm that exists on the same plane as our own is not unheard of in other films, but Insidious truly made it something real and scary to see. The further world is smothered in an eerie darkness, with only solitary lanterns to helplessly guide one’s way. It’s a sinister hereafter that leaves you cold and alone just fathoming it. The Lambert haunting comes to its final conclusion but that is not where Insidious 2 ends. It ends with Elise investigating at a different family’s home. With just one alarmed look and a quiet utterance of “Oh my God,” it looks like we’ll be in for something pretty gnarly in Chapter 3.

A le x Ma r t i ne z , Nic k Surkamp and Nazmi Albadawi are veterans that lead the Wolfpack. However, members of the Pack’s top 20 recruiting class are contributing to the team. Freshman forward Travis Wannemeuhler, the highest regarded recruit of the class, has started every game this season, and fellow freshman forward Davi Ramos has seen action in all four games as well, and registered a goal in the season-opening win over Campbell on Aug. 30. Senior goalkeeper Fabian Otte has registered 12 saves and a pair of shutouts through four games. Last season, the men’s soccer team began the season 6-0 and ascended to No. 14 in the nation before the wheels fell off, due in part to off-thefield issues. The Pack finished 10-10, missing out on a postseason bid. Similar to the women’s team, the men return many key players from last season, so a tailspin such as the one last season is not anticipated. There is no substitute for experience. The fact the ACC is one of the toughest conferences for soccer, both men’s and women’s, helps in the long run. They best way to get better is to play those

who are better. The volleyball team currently sits at 8-1 and is coming off of a weekend trip to Houston, Texas in which it won two out of three matches. The Wolfpack beat Houston Baptist and Rice by identical 3-1 scores but fell to Missouri 3-0. State has lost just six sets this season. It will host the Courtyard Midtown Raleigh Invitational from Sept. 20-21 and will face Wisconsin, Colgate, and VCU at Reynolds Coliseum. Last season, the Pack started strong by reaching a record
of 15-1 before cooling off in ACC play. It did, however, earn an NCAA Tournament bid and although they lost in the first round to Texas A&M, the season was viewed as a rousing success. Right now, the Wolfpack looks to be on course to make a reappearance in the postseason. So while you prepare for the spectacle at Carter-Finley on Thursday night, also think about stopping by Reynolds Coliseum this weekend, or consider spending an evening at Dail Soccer Stadium.

N.C. State head coach Dave Doeren addressed members of the media Monday afternoon to discuss the upcoming Thursday night matchup against No. 3 Clemson. “We are obviously excited for the opportunity to be on national television to play Clemson,” Doeren said. “They have a very experienced football team. There are about seven or eight preseason watch list guys, and if you look at almost every postseason award, it seems like they have a name on it.” Doeren made references to the Tigers’ key offensive variable, redshirt senior quarterback Tajh Boyd. According to Doeren, the team will have to contain the heavy powered Tiger offense to come away with a victory. “We have got to try to limit the number of explosive plays,” Doeren said. “We have to keep the ball inside and in front of us and be opportunistic. We have to do a great job with understanding our own defenses and their play-action that come off of them, reacting to their quick screen passes and tackling in space.” With Clemson’s multiple defensive schemes, Doeren said the team will need to adapt its offense accord-

Kickoff will be at 7:30 p.m., and the game will broadcast on ESPN. “I have told the players that
a lot of people say that they do not have a chance in this game,” Doeren said. “Everyone that has played here knows that they do because of what they did last year with Florida State and the year before when they played against Clemson. It does not help you win this game. Those games are not going to win this game for us, but at least there are guys in the room that have been in those games that remember.”

The current National Football League season has already shown exemplary moments and statistics from all of its athletes, but N.C. State has had its share of players make their mark in the league. Buffalo Bills defensive end Mario Williams recorded five tackles, including 4.5 sacks, a franchise single-game record as the Bills relied on last-second heroics by former Florida State Seminole quarterback E.J. Manuel to slip past the Carolina Panthers, 24-23. Buffalo wide receiver T.J. Graham added a reception for eight yards in the victory. Washington Redskins cornerback David Amerson continued his rookie campaign with five tackles against the Green Bay Packers. The Redskins fell, 38-20. San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers had an exemplary performance against the Philadelphia Eagles, completing 36 of 47 passes for 417 yards and three touchdowns.

The Wolfpack is 2-0, and the last t ime a team ranked Luke that high Nadkarni came to Staff Writer Raleigh, Florida State fell to the Mike Glennon-led Wolfpack about less than a year ago. But some other lesser
known sports are doing great things on campus as well. The women’s soccer team, under the direction of firstyear head coach Tim Santoro, is off to a 6-2 start this season. Both losses have been from tough opponents, No. 13 Georgetown and No. 8 Notre Dame. The Pack nabbed its first ACC win in about two years on Sunday at Pittsburgh. Freshman forward Jackie Stengel has been sensational for the Pack so far this season, totaling six goals with three of those being game winners, including her goal on Sunday Through eight games last season, the Pack’s record

The Wolfpack, who have played well throughout the season even in its losses, face ACC foe Miami on the road Thursday night. The men’s soccer team has
