NCSU Libraries faces budget cuts, difficult choices STUDENTS MAY HAVE TO CHOOSE WHICH LIBRARY STAYS OPEN 24 HOURS Brittany Bynum Staff Writer

Though students frequently discuss which library they prefer—D.H. Hill or Hunt— they may soon be asked the same question by administrators, however, their answers will carry a far greater weight than usual if this happens. Due to the General Assembly’s $66 million budget cut to the UNC-System, passed in July, NCSU Librar-

ies might have to cut back hours of operation for one of the two main libraries. Both D.H. Hill and the James B. Hunt libraries are currently open 24 hours during the week, but Vice Provost of Libraries Susan Nutter said that depending on how the cuts affect NCSU Libraries, students may be asked to choose which library’s hours will be reduced. “We will get feedback from students to help make the

Branch libraries for the College of Natural Resources, the College of Design and the College of Veterinary Medicine will be affected before D.H. Hill and Hunt and could experience reduced hours or might shut down completely if they can no longer afford

to stay open. Once these cuts go into effect, the number of services offered and the size of collections and materials, such as journals, library collections and book subscriptions, will be in jeopardy as well, according to Nutter. All services are currently free at the library with the exception of printing, but a

Need-based scholarships on the decline; replaced by merit-based grants Estefania Vazquez-Castro Correspondent

It appears that N.C. State is contributing to a national trend in which universities are choosing merit-based scholarships rather than those based on financial need. According to the International Committee of the Fourth International, needbased scholarships are decreasing nationwide. The decrease in need-based scholarships is due to a decrease in state funding for scholarships as well as the fear that excelling students will choose to leave the state if offered a better option out of state. As a result, fewer students who have been affected by the financial crisis choose or are able to attend college. Krista Domnick, director of the Office of Scholarships and Finical Aid, said that 68 percent of enrolled N.C. State students applied for financial aid for the 2012-13 school year and that of those, 52 percent received financial aid through FAFSA. It is unclear which type of scholarship is more popular at N.C. State, however, a survey done by Foundations Accounting and Investments in December 2012 found that about 60 percent of N.C. State’s scholarship endowments were based on merit, according to Domnick. The ICFI study found that 29 percent of state-funded scholarships are now based on merit, the highest percentage ever recorded, and that the percentage of scholarships based on need decreased to 70.8 percent compared to the previous academic year. Both are important to having a diverse student body, ac-

cording to Domnick. “Both types of scholarship funding are important and play a role in shaping the class at N.C. State,” Domnick said. “N.C. State is fortunate to have committed donors that recognize the need to support students in a variety of ways.” Among the merit-based scholarships are the prestigious Parks Scholarships and the Caldwell Fellowship program. The Goodnight Scholarship is a blend of merit and need-based aid. Out of all the admission applications received by the University, 500 are chosen based on merit. Those 500 college applicants are then invited to apply for the scholarship and 50 will receive it as long as they demonstrate financial need, according to Jen Foster, the director for the Goodnight Scholars Program. The Goodnight Scholars Program is not only targeted toward education or STEM majors, but also students coming from middle class homes, Foster said. Donors to the program said they believe that students coming from low income families tend to receive federal aid and that students coming from high income families could afford to pay for college, but that middle class applicants were often limited in their options, Foster said. “I feel that both meritbased scholarships and needbased scholarships have an important role to play,” Foster said. “Merit-based awards help to recruit outstanding students who otherwise might not consider N.C. State. Need-based awards

After being announced the craziest fan in a dance off for NC State CRU, sophomore aerospace engineering, Graham Freels, is lifted up by fellow members in celebration on Wednesday. The Ram Roast was a pep rally held at the freedom expression tunnel as a led up to the football game against UNC-Chapel Hill.

More than 1,000 attend Ram Roast pep rally Rachel Coffman Correspondent

This year’s Ram Roast wasn’t like the traditional pep rally that occurs on N.C. State’s campus each year prior to the UNC-Chapel Hill football game. Ram Roast is usually the Thursday before the Carolina game and starts with a pep rally where the band, cheerleaders and dance team perform for students. Typically, the football team’s senior captains and head coach then energize the crowd for the upcoming game, according to Sutton Porter, student ambassador and traditions director for the Alumni Association. This year, due to a prescheduled pep rally on Friday night prior to the Homecoming concert, Ram Roast had a variety of different activities including a disc jockey, a N.C. State Craziest Fan

competition, free pizza from Marco’s and a spirit competition. The event was held at Wolf Plaza Wednesday evening prior to the men’s preseason basketball game in Reynolds Coliseum, and more than 1,000 students attended the rally. “Ram Roast was very different because the Carolina game is also Homecoming this year,” Porter said. “With the PackHowl concert on Friday and Halloween Thursday, we were forced move Ram Roast to Wednesday.” In addition to the new activities, students participated in the Ram Roast tradition of painting the free expression tunnel red and white. According to Porter, Ram Roast became an N.C. State tradition after Carolina fans painted the free expression tunnel blue several years ago. “We started Ram Roast to protect the

tunnel so it would never get painted blue again,” Porter said. As a part of the homecoming spirit competition, competing organizations painted murals on the tunnel to be judged by Student Government. “I couldn’t wait to express my love for the Pack,” said Mary Tedder, a sophomore in communication. Tedder, along with her sorority sisters from Alpha Delta Pi, painted a wolf mural on the tunnel. While students painted the tunnel, organizations competed in a Craziest Fan dance-off, judged by the volume of applause from watching students. Graham Freels, a sophomore in aerospace engineering who represented N.C. State CRU, danced to the cheering of fans and

Cupcake makers compete to raise money for Kay Yow Cancer Fund Sasha Afanasieva Staff Writer

Student organizations stormed the Brickyard Wednesday for the Homecoming Cupcake War and sold thousands of homemade cupcakes to raise money for the Kay Yow Cancer fund. The first part of the competition included selling the most cupcakes, and during the next part of the Cupcake War, judges tasted the cupcakes and looked at how well participants applied the “Red, White and Wolfpack” Homecoming theme. Hannah Grace Barnard, a sophomore in education and member of the Delta

Zeta sorority was in charge of selling cupcakes. “We are really excited that we are participating in Homecoming, and we like that this cupcake war is going to a good cause,” Bernard said. Jonah Richardson, a sophomore in human biology and a member of the Sigma Nu and Zeta Tau Alpha fraternities, participated in the event. “We are helping and benefitting the community, but I hope we will outsell our competition and win at Homecoming this year. It’s basically a competition as to who can sell the most cupcakes, but more importantly who can raise the most money,” Richardson said.

The proceeds from the cupcake war will go to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, which was founded in 2007 by Coach Kay Yow, former N.C. State head coach for women’s basketball. Yow died in 2009 after losing her fight with breast cancer. Richardson said the event was as popular as last year’s. “The sales are on par with past sales,” Richardson said. “We sold about 65 cupcakes about an hour into the event. During lunchtime is probably the busiest time since everyone is out here and at the Atrium.” Others were not so lucky, such as An-

Cary named safest town in U.S. Staff report

Cary, N.C. has been named the safest town in the United States for the first time. The town of about 146,000 residents has long held a reputation of a safe place to live, and now claims the lowest crime rate in the nation among cities of similar size, The News and Observer reported Wednesday. In 2012, Cary had about 14.4 crimes per 1,000 people, based on data for crimes provided by the FBI. The town edged out second place Naperville, Ill., a suburb outside Chicago, which posted a crime rate of 15.1 per 1,000 residents. Cary has come close to taking home top prize in the past. In 2011, the town had the ninth-lowest crime rate among cities with populations of 100,000 to 500,000, based on FBI Data. Town officials of Cary told The N&O that the label is important, and that the suburban life provides an excellent atmosphere for raising a family. Last year, The Cary Police Department investigated 115 reports of violent crimes, in-

cluding rape, robbery and aggravated assault. The violent crime data also includes murder, but Cary did not have any murders in 2012. Meanwhile, police investigated 1,917 reports of property crimes, which include burglaries, larcenies and thefts, motor-vehicle thefts and arson. Cary Police Chief Pat Bazemore told The N&O community initiatives have been instrumental in keeping crime low. According to Bazemore, nearly three years ago, the town launched Project PHOENIX, which partners police officers with 41 multi-family housing developments in the town. PHOENIX brings together the town parks and recreation department to provide afterschool and summer activities for children. The program also works on making the town a safer place at night by working with apartment complex managers to install better lighting. By contrast, neighboring Raleigh, with about three times the population, had 1,778 violent crimes and 13,779 property crimes, according to the state.

fee may also have to be implemented for some other services. Nutter said she hopes that the libraries will never have to charge patrons more to use the library because it would add on to the stress of tuition. Nutter said that during the cuts, D.H. Hill would become more like Hunt Library in terms of technology, as the University will replace some human labor with it. Additionally, any job positions in the library that are vacant will be removed. Security may also be affected because D.H. Hill pays for security using its state-issued budget. N.C. State’s budget plan has been submitted to the UNCSystem office, but it hasn’t been approved yet. Nutter said she is trying carry out the plan in a way that will affect students and faculty the least. Nutter said she tried to maintain overnight hours for security guards in order provide a safe environment for faculty and students. The cuts will affect the whole University, according to Susan Nutter, a vice provost and director of libraries at N.C.

areas will take the biggest budget cuts. Academic affairs affecting faculty, teaching and research programs and distance learning education will receive a smaller cut, Nutter said. The University library system is considered to be part of administrative affairs. Nutter said she was confused as to why D.H. Hill Library was classified in this category because she said the library was a critical resource for students, which should make it an academic affair. The Creamery and Hill of Beans will be unaffected by the library budget cuts because they are affiliated with dining, not the library. Students are also concerned about cuts to D.H. Hill and other libraries on campus. The Student Adv isor y Board at N.C. State libraries is a volunteer group that hosts meetings once a month about problems or issues related to the library. Anisa Traish, a sophomore in zoology, frequently attends

board meetings. “It’s really sad that budget cuts have to come to this,” Traish said. She said she was shocked to hear about the budget cut plans and how they affected the libraries. In 2001, which was the last time NCSU Libraries proposed cutting hours, 500 students participated in a sit-in at the D.H. Hill Library and then marched at midnight to the chancellor’s residence to demand that the library stay open all night. That same spring, more than 5,000 students marched to the state capitol to protest a $125 million cut to the UNC-System. As a result of student protests and public outcry, NCSU Libraries did not cut any hours, and the state legislature declined to pass what would have been a significant cut to the UNC System. The cuts for this year are expected to be in effect by Jan. 1.

help to make a college education affordable for those who otherwise would struggle to afford the cost of college.” Mike Davis, the coordinator for scholarships and strategic partnerships from the General H. Hugh Shelton Leadership Center, said that the scholarships offered by the center are neither based purely on merit or financial need. Instead, the scholarships are geared toward students who embody the leadership and service skills the center is looking for. And though some people can argue that the center should consider adding financial need as a prerequisite for its scholarships, Davis said that the requirements for each scholarship are

set by the donor and the Shelton Leadership Center has no input on how the endowment is distributed. N.C. State also offers the Pack Promise, a financial aid package rather than a scholarship for students who demonstrate financial need according to the FAFSA. The Pack Promise is “making a promise that every North Carolina resident admitted to N.C. State, regardless of income, will have access to a quality education and become part of the Pack,” according to the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid’s website. The program is designed to ensure that the students who demonstrate the most financial need will have 100 percent of their demonstrated needs met. To be eligible, students must have a family income at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty line.

Kennedy’s vision for mental health remains unfulfilled

he last piece of legislation President John F. Kennedy signed turned 50 today: the Community Mental Health Act, which helped transform the way people with mental illnesses are treated and cared for in the United States. As part of Kennedy’s New Frontier initiative, the 35th President signed the legislation on Oct. 31, 1963, only 22 days before Kennedy was assassinated. The CMHA aimed to build mental health centers accessible to all Americans. Ravi Chittilla According to National PubStaff Writer lic Radio, the legislation was instrumental in creating many life-altering changes for people who suffered from serious illnesses, such as schizophrenia, many of whom now live normal, productive lives with jobs and families. When the bill was signed, the goal was to build 1,500 centers, which would have moved at least half of the 500,000 institutionalized patients at the time to state-run clinics. In a message to Congress earlier that year, Kennedy said that his idea was to successfully and efficiently treat patients in their own communities and then return them to “a useful place in society.” In 1963, the average stay in a state institution

the needs of the severely mentally ill.” Here in North Carolina, recent years have seen our own mental health budget dwindle. As the General Assembly has not only stepped back from funding institutional hospitals, the state senate actually voted to close down three state-run addiction clinics as well as the Wright School, a school that serves special needs children in Durham. Thankfully, the budget, which Gov. Pat McCrory signed, kept these intact thanks to bipartisan work done in the State House. As those who are not able to help themselves continue to see the care they deserve taken from them, we as citizens, as human beings cannot afford to stand back and watch. In North Carolina, as in many states, there aren’t enough hospital beds to accommodate mentally ill individuals. For mental healthcare providers in North Carolina, 2013 marked yet another year of cuts to Medicaid reimbursement rates, which have declined steadily since 2008. According to the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors, more than $4.3 billion has been slashed from state mental health budgets nationwide since 2009. If we are to be considered a nation that truly serves all of its citizens, we cannot allow those most vulnerable to fall through the cracks. While the stigma that once existed against

the mentally ill is no longer prevalent, the inability for our state to act to protect is just as harmful. To fail to do so would not only mean denying Kennedy’s vision, but denying the humanity of those who are most unable to help themselves. One of the major telling signs of the time that our mental healthcare has simply fallen through the cracks are the recent gun violence crimes. The gun crimes in Sandy Hook, last year in Colorado, last month in the Washington Navy Yard, were all perpetrated by men who had not received the mental health treatment that they clearly needed. But gun crimes are only but the tip of the iceberg, as here in North Carolina, many of the “community-based health initiatives” advocated by Kennedy have not received substantial funding due to the state government’s increasing reliance on private solutions for public problems. We can continue to make small talk at both the state and federal level about the lack of mental health care, or the condition that many of our most vulnerable citizens face, but until we as a nation truly to decide to put action behind those words, the vision set by Kennedy 50 years ago will remain just that, a vision.

Just a costume

oday is Halloween. We spent the month building up to this day decorating our houses with imitation spider webs and plastic skulls and by hosting horror movie showings and costume parties. Tonight, college student s w i l l wander Nicky Vaught drunkenly through the Deputy Features s t re e t s i n Editor their most creative or costly attempts at a good costume. Some men will prance about shirtless in short shorts. Some women will march along in 6-inch heels and 26-inch dresses. Though we’ll probably see more if not an equal amount of the former than the latter, it is the women we will dub “sluts.” Scantily clad women will be the butt of most jokes tonight, at least for anyone trying to feign social dissatisfaction or superiority. Yet we will say nothing of the scantily clad men drunkenly gallivanting about. But there’s a paradox in the mix. The media encourages women to buy the sexy version of their costumes. We think of the extremes: sexy hamburgers, sexy pizzas and sexy cookie monsters. Far more than men, women are encouraged — if not commanded — to dress sexy for the night. Our society dictates that women ought to do their best to look sexually appealing on Halloween, but our soci-

{

for someone with schizophrenia was 11 years. However, only half of the 1,500 proposed centers were ever built, and none of those received the funding for long term care. Dr. Paul Appelbaum, a psychiatry professor at Columbia University, told NPR that in many cases those who are unable to get help end up homeless, in prison or suffering from substance abuse. This claim is evidenced by the fact that the three largest mental health providers in the nation today are not mental health institutions or hospitals, but rather jails: Cook County in Illinois, Los Angeles County in California and Rikers Island in New York. Some states saw the legislation as a way to close down expensive state hospitals without spending those savings on community-based care. Deinstitutionalization accelerated after the adoption of Medicaid in 1967, according to the Washington Post. Since the CHMA was enacted, 90 percent of beds have been cut at state hospitals nationwide. “The goals of deinstitutionalization were perverted,” former U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy, the president’s nephew told the Associated Press. “People who did need institutional care got thrown out, and there weren’t the programs in place to keep them supported. We don’t have an alternate policy to address

IN YOUR WORDS

ety also dictates that women ought not to be skanks. Halloween is a doubleedged sword, as Molly Ringwald’s character from The Breakfasvt Club might put it. There’s this attitude that if women don’t dress how men expect them to, they’re prudes. If they do, they’re sluts. Women can’t win. I’m not an authority on about most women do. I mostly see women walking the middle path. The women who actually dress up as sexy ghosts are few and far between, but they’re still the ones who will receive most of societal backlash. No matter how many more men than women walk around wearing almost nothing, it is still the women who will receive unjust criticism. We call this slut shaming, and it’s extremely problematic. For starters, it treats female sexuality as abnormal or something to be ashamed of. It creates another form of horizontal hostility, which pits women against each other instead of against our patriarchal norms. Slut shaming sends a message that those deemed sluts are in some way less than human and are not to be associated with. It implies that sexuality is, in some way, associated with respect. Slut shaming perpetuates the oversexualization of innocuous body parts — legs,

arms and breasts (yes, those things on women’s chest are not sex organs, but are meant to feed newborns. Who knew?) Worst of all, slut shaming contributes to rape culture — especially on Halloween. We tell the women wearing revealing Halloween costumes that they are, in fact, “asking for it,” or else they wouldn’t have dressed like that. For more information about rape culture, Justine Schnitzler’s column, “The normalcy of tragedy — rape culture revisited,” which ran in the Oct. 20 issue of the Technician goes a little more in depth. Between encouraging women to dress to please men lest they be labeled prude and telling those women they’re sex-starved sluts, our societal approach to Halloween leaves little room for female freedom. Between praising the guy in the sexy Luigi costume and crucifying the girl dressed as sexy Mario, maybe we ought to rethink what our costumes indicate about our culture. Between expecting the girl dressed as a sexy Cherokee costume to crave nothing more than drunk, heterosexual intercourse with the guy dressed as a Navajo and ignoring the blatant cultural appropriation, maybe we should re-evaluate what our costumes actually say about us.

In response to ‘Why the ASG needs N.C. State’

Professor Leonard, With due respect, I oppose your position on the Association of Student Governments, yet find it intriguing that Carolina faculty are engaged in student government to the point that they do take notice on something like ASG, which has wasted students’ money for years without second thought. You’d be right in saying that ASG exists to represent all of its constituents — the only issue being that ASG refuses to do so. The October meeting here at UNC-Chapel Hill showed that members were more focused on parliamentary procedure than suspending rules that are rarely followed, unless convenient, to vote on a resolution regarding student voting. When given an opportunity to represent constituents, Robert’s Rules became the constituency of

choice. You’d be right in questioning whether ASG wastes money — except that the October meeting cost $3,000 and the only thing members walked away with is a night’s sleep in the Sheraton and a Panera breakfast and Domino’s lunch. As a representative of students, it is horrifying that this is the type of representation that ASG calls “effective.” You’d be right in saying that ASG is worth its yearly dollar fee — except 91 percent of that dollar paid for “advocacy” is spent on stipends, catered meals and hotel rooms. You could look up these stipends if the ASG website — which we also pay for — were functioning. Students can’t even read up on ASG — yet they’re expected to believe that it is spending its money wisely? I appreciate that you are concerned about the orga-

nization. Yet we’ve been told for years that ASG is “trying to reform itself,” and watched it vote against any reforms brought to the table. For two years, ASG has opposed our ideas. It owes its constituents answers. Accountability should also be a factor of shared governance. To my knowledge, I’ve never met you at an ASG meeting — so I’d welcome you at our November meeting at Appalachian State University this weekend. No agenda has been published, resolutions were written after reading criticisms that the meeting would be uneventful — but the largest part of the docket is to attend a Mountaineer football game. If that’s the seat at the table we need, I’d prefer to stand. Best, Connor Brady Speaker of the Student Congress at UNC-Chapel Hill.

Mission Valley hosts Halloween Taylor Quinn Staff Writer

This month, Mission Valley Cinema partnered with Big Boss Brewery and combined the brewery’s seasonal beer with a few horror movies, which were shown free of cost on the big screen. The movies included The Shining, Night of the Living Dead, The Exorcist and Evil Dead 2. The cinema kept all of the concession revenue and Big Boss Brewery received free advertising opportunity. The agreement resulted in a new atmosphere for Mission Valley on Wednesday nights, one filled with “boos” and booze. Mission Valley Cinema manager and junior in computer and electrical engineering Trey Beauchemin said that the theater went through a transformation on Wednesday nights this month. “Before Big Boss came in it was basically dead on Wednesday nights,” Beauchemin said. “We would have like five people come in, but we would get to leave early on those nights, which was nice. It’s definitely a different crowd. It’s not the State crowd. It’s all of the older people. They definitely like to drink and they get really funny, but it’s fun.” Beauchemin said that Big Boss

A festive skeleton greets customers at Mission Valley Cinema in preparation for Halloween. The movie theater is hosting its annual Harvest of Horrors Series of classic horror films on Halloween, beginning at 10 p.m.

Brewery had come in earlier this year and showed a different set of classic movies, including

Donnie Darko and Reservoir Dogs. He said that events such as these are helping to increase the cinema’s revenue. “Business was slow, so we did that to help bring up our revenue, and this month we’ve made double what we usually do during October,” Beauchemin said. Kelly Gilliam, a Big Boss Brewery brand representative and N.C. State alumna, said Big Boss Brewery is still a small business and it hasn’t even expanded to all of North Carolina yet. It began its operations in 2006 and

shipped its first beer in 2007. “Our focus is to take care of home first and then expand,” Gilliam said. “We have five year-round beers, and we always kind of change up the seasonal lineup and try new things while still keeping in touch with the market.” Gilliam said partnering with Mission Valley was an easy choice, as the Cinema has been a long-time customer of Big Boss Brewery. “Mission Valley has been a customer of ours ever since we first came around as a brewery,” Gilliam said. “And since we are both local and independent we want to sup-

port that as much as we can. They are all awesome people too.” Though choosing five classic horror movies to showcase may seem like an arduous task, Gilliam said the process was simple and relaxed and that when they chose the movies, Wes Farrell, manager of Mission Valley Cinema, was excited. “We were just kind of hanging up in the tap room, which is above the brewery, and someone said ‘O.K., guys, we are going to have a Halloween Fest, let’s go ahead and talk about some movies,’” Gilliam said. “So we took the input

of several employees and everybody kind of got their say, and then we took a vote, and we were like ‘O.K., this is going to be it.’” Gilliam said people get excited about horror movies, which is why this horror partnership has been such a success. “I think people like the thrill and the suspense and that adrenaline rush of horror movies. I think that is all that it comes down to,” Gilliam said. “It’s all classics as well, so there might be some movies that not everybody has seen, so I think that is part of the appeal.”

Spooky short stories from the Technician’s staff WANDERLUST AND THE FAMILIAR FOREST

Nicky Vaught Deputy Features Editor

The following is based on a true account. Names of people and places have been changed. * Sitting alone in a two-man tent he’d borrowed and never returned, Mark took another drag from his tightly rolled joint. From outside, he could hear footsteps, the jingling of keys and a dog’s breathing. A cop? This deep into the woods? A southern, effeminate man’s voice ushered the dog along. “Come on, maybe this person.” The man tapped at the tent door. Mark hid the mostly smoked joint in his hands and unzipped the door, for once not impeded the double zippers. “Hey,” the man said, keeping a tight leash on an Argentinian mastiff. “Have you seen the waterfalls?” There were no waterfalls in the woods, so Mark just assumed the man was confused. He told him he hadn’t seen them, but good luck. “Well,” the man said as he started away from Mark’s tent, “you ought to check them out.” ** Five seasons passed of Mark and his friends retreating into the woods for their variety of young-adult shenanigans. One shenanigan involved smoking weed out of a gas mask atop a fallen tree, its upturned roots covered in dry dirt, forming a wall just over 10 feet. Another shenanigan saw Mark and three friends wandering deeper into the woods than their lazy, apathetic curiosity had ever led them. After about an hour of walking through the woods, Tyler, who had been leading most of the way, had to stop. He’d run into a wire, which went from tree to tree, not wrapped around, but running through them. Endlessly it seemed. The boys went under and carried on. Soon, they came to a cabin. Scattered about the cabin were children’s shoes. Only left shoes, though. Like maybe the cabin had been home to

some bad dancer children. Inside the cabin, jars sat on shelves. There were only a few shelves, each with two jars—three at most. A sort of black, viscous something filled each jar. One of the guys, Sam, took a jar from its shelf. He didn’t expect to get the sticky dust feeling off his fingers for a few days. “I think it’s guts,” he said. “Let’s find out.” He led everyone just outside the door, where a rock lay smooth as a desk in the dirt. An exaggeratedly forceful throw sent glass only a few feet from where the jar hit the stone. A clump of reddish-brown, brown something sat on the stone like a dead jellyfish washed up on the beach. Though no experts, the boys identified the clump as, in fact, an organ. Probably a small liver. Congealing red goo and clear yellowish fluid seeped out from the organ. Lightest under shattered glass and darkest in the crevices of the rocks, the red-wash slowly dripping over the rock couldn’t have been anything but blood. They decided to keep walking, just to get away from the cabin. “Let’s just go back to your car,” Mark said to Tyler in a way that the others might hear and agree. But Sam and Tyler, and the fourth boy, Jeremy, wanted to keep exploring. So they did. They came again to the wire they had earlier ducked under. Instead of passing the chest-high metal string to the other side—their side—the boys followed it. Tyler held it with his right hand limply. He led his friends until the wire in his hand ended in a tree. About a backyard’s length away, the other end of the metal border ended in a tree as well. The wire brought the boys to a house. Only a few trees separated them from the backyard. *** A mastiff slept in the grass. The boys cautiously walked into the yard, noting the airplane liquor bottles dangling from some of the more proximal trees by metal string. Trees and a fence surrounded the yard, ensuring no neighbors or passersby could see its gardens or

the porch connected to the house backdoor. The dog had apparently been chewing on a shoe, as a child’s left shoe lay in the grass half-torn apart. Mark had seen the dog before. “Hey, what’s this mean? Is this the street we’re on?” Tyler asked. He was calling attention to a small plaque in the center of a stone in the center of the yard. Engraved in the faux-gold plaque: WELCOME TO WATERFALL AVE. “Hello,” a southern, effeminate man’s voice said from the porch through a screen door. “Welcome.”

THE MOUNTAIN AIR HAS A PAST

Taylor Quinn Staff Writer

1890. Somewhere in North Carolina. Her killer knew her every thought and feeling — she controlled her. She somehow knew how she thought and where she would be and all of her weaknesses. She had to deal with this person her whole entire life — day in and day out being tortured by this unforgiving soul. She tried to escape, multiple times, but every attempt amounted to another failure. She knew she had to get away but everything she tried did not grant her any distance. She longed for separation; she couldn’t take the mental obstruction this person had caused. She could feel the cold, crisp air grace her body and enter her pores as she stood atop the mountain. Her killer stood there too. She watched the sun set into disappearance –the beauty of the colors bringing tears to her stinging eyes. At that moment she experienced second thoughts about escaping her killer — her life wasn’t too bad when she really thought about it. As of now she was enjoying the beauty of nature with her killer, she was actually feeling joy with her. Just as those warm thoughts crossed her mind and coaxed a faint smile upon her lips, her killer uttered two definite words: “It’s time.” She was fearful, but yet she knew whatever happened would be for the best. Her killer thought

long and hard about her decision but decided to continue with her previously thought-out plan. She stood at the edge of the mountain, waiting, reflecting on her life and feeling the force her killer was putting on her to keep edging forward. She kept inching toward the edge, the rocks now falling into the abyss — her eyes darted to the bottom of where she would soon lay — and her calm thoughts quickly turned to panicked ones as she realized that once she left the mountain her casualty was a certainty. Her heart was beating uncontrollably — her body now matched the fear. She started to shake. Because of her tremors she lost her balance, she felt herself falling forward and let out a shriek marked with desperation. Her killer sensed her fear and tried to save her but — she was too late. The girl tumbled down the edge of the mountain thinking of what she had done between the blurred lines of her conscious and unconscious state. For a second she hated her killer for forcing her to jump, but her hate was soon replaced by darkness. Silence. Nothingness. She died instantly. Her killer didn’t even get to enjoy her death. Her

killer couldn’t peer down from the top of the mountain in triumph or gain the satisfaction she longed for from what she had just done. Because her killer died, tumbled down the mountain with her — her killer was within her. Present day. Since her death, hundreds more had occurred starting from atop that same mountain. Her once suicidal spirit coaxing those contemplating the same up the mountain to end their lives. Her bitterness drives her, she lost control so she makes sure she has full control of her next victim’s dim future. The police reports say “Accidental death” but both the killer and the victim truly know the truth. So, if you feel the soft coaxing of the mountain air telling you to edge forward, say hi to her on your way down — because once she’s touched you, you have no choice other than to jump.

That win really gave our team a lift when we needed it the most.” In his free time, DiPrima said he enjoys playing golf. He also said he’s been playing since he was too young to know the rules of the game. “I started playing when I was probably like seven or eight,” DiPrima said. “I remember I would hit the ball in the fairway, and then I’d

from the foul line and two steals. The freshman started the game slowly, picking up three turnovers in the first half. But Gottfried said he was happy with how Barber picked up his play in the second half. “I thought Cat really gave us a spark,” Gottfried said. “In the first half when he came in, he was really tentative. At halftime I told him ‘You’ve got to turn it loose. Don’t be afraid to make a mistake and play.’” Gottfried said he liked how the sophomore dictated the

Sophomore forward T.J. Warren had 26 points and 10 rebounds as N.C. State scraped past UNC-Pembroke 96-85 on Wednesday night at Reynolds Coliseum. Sophomore guard Tyler Lewis also played well for the Wolfpack, dishing out 15 assists and scoring five points in State’s first exhibition games. The Braves dominated the Wolfpack on the boards, outrebounding State 44-33. UNC-Pembroke grabbed 19 offensive rebounds and scored 19 second chance points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome State’s fast-paced offense. “Obviously there’s a lot

for us to work on, but I like that we scored 96 points while missing 17 foul shots and turning the ball over 16 times,” head coach Mark Gottfried said. “If we don’t turn the ball over as much as we did and we make a few foul shots, then that 96 becomes about 110 real quick.” “Defensively we can’t give up 85, but I think that had a lot to do with not securing a rebound at times.” In his first appearance for the Wolfpack, redshirt junior guard Ralston Turner racked up 20 points, two blocks and three steals. Turner’s offensive presence and defensive intensity were ever-present against the Braves, who kept the game close throughout. “It felt pretty good to be out there,” Turner said. “It’s been 19 months since I’ve played a game, so I was just glad to get

back out there. I had some jitters. I was nervous, but once the game got started I was ok.” Redshirt senior center Jordan Vandenberg went down with an ankle injury just five minutes into the game. Before his injury, Vandenberg had four points, two rebounds and was showing a good amount of chemistry with Lewis. All of Vandenberg’s points came from dunks on alley-oop passes from the sophomore. With Vandenberg sidelined, the Braves had free reign on the boards all night against the young, undersized Wolfpack. Gottfried said that the X-rays on Vandenberg’s ankle were negative and that he will have an MRI on Thursday.

Desmond Lee, a transfer from New Mexico Junior College, will look to make an instant impact for N.C. State this season. Lee averaged 20.3 points per game last season, fifth-best in the nation for junior college play. He was also selected as a junior college all-American. Technician: What has the transition to State been like? Lee: “The biggest difference when coming from junior college is that everyone on the floor is a great athlete and came from a program where they were ‘the man’. Everything is quicker. You have to think quicker, move quicker and make better moves. You can’t waste moves.“ Q: How did you ultimately make your decision to come to State? A: “I decided to come to N.C. State because I felt like the team really needed another combo guard that can score on the perimeter and create off the dribble. There were a couple holes in the roster, and there’s a good group of young guys coming in, as well. I really wanted to play with [sophomore forward] T.J. Warren. [State is] also on the East coast, which was another key thing; it’s closer to home.” Q: How is the chemistry building between you and T.J.? A: “It’s still a work in progress. He’s still trying to feel me out, and I’m trying to feel him out. Other than that, the chemistry is coming along well. We’ll be a good onetwo punch once we get things rolling along. We can put a lot of pieces together, and we can be a good team.”

Q: What’s your opinion of the coaching staff? How are you working with them so far? A: “They’re a real good group of guys. They’re understandable. They’ll work with you, and they take time out to help you get the system down. They’re real patient and are always there.” Q: How excited are you for the upcoming season? A: “I’m really excited. It will be first game out here in Division I coming up soon. We got a good group of guys, and I’m excited to get after it. I’m excited to be a part of Wolfpack Nation. They come out and show so much love. I can’t wait to get out there and play for them.“ Q: What are your expectations for this season? How far do you guys think that you can take this team? A: “I believe that we are really going to shock some people. Some people think that we aren’t going to be that good, or that we might not make the NCAA tournament. I really believe that we are an [NCAA-tournament caliber] team, but we still got a little more work to do first. We got a lot of new faces, and we’re pretty young. We’re going to play as hard as we can and do whatever we can to win games.” Q: What players have inspired you? A: “I would have to say Dwyane Wade because he’s been through a lot to get to where he’s at. He went to Marquette, but people don’t know that he had to sit out the first few games with grade issues, but he stuck with it and kept playing. He’s just my type of player. He inspires me a lot.”

N.C. State’s midfield has been the team’s best unit all season. State’s midfielders have consistently dominated possession of the ball, giving the Wolfpack’s opponents little chance of creating scoring opportunities. At the heart of State’s midfield lies senior midfielder Danny DiPrima. Since transferring to State from St. John’s University after his freshman year, DiPrima has played in 49 of State’s 55 games during the last three seasons. Head coach Kelly Findley said that the senior is one of his most dependable players, both in practice and games. “The biggest thing that Danny [DiPrima] brings to the field are his intangibles,” Findley said. “He teaches some of the younger guys what hard work looks like in practice and how hard you can push yourself. He helps filter his hard-working mentality down to our younger guys.” “His hard work and his ability to maintain his focus allows him to play well regardless of the situation. As a coach, you can always trust guys like that because you know they’re going to give you everything.” DiPrima, a central midfielder, has played in a multitude of positions for the Wolfpack this season, including winger and attacking midfielder. He said that although he prefers playing centrally, he’ll play anywhere to help his team win. “I’m one of those types of guys who

will do whatever needs to be done so our team can be successful,” DiPrima said. “I definitely prefer playing in the middle of the field, but if I have to play out wide, then that’s fine too. The most important thing is that we win.” DiPrima’s versatility came in handy when senior midfielder Nazmi Albadwai suffered a foot injury at the beginning of October, leaving a gaping hole at the heart of State’s attack. But DiPrima filled in admirably. DiPrima scored a goal against No. 2 Notre Dame and helped the Pack battle to a draw with No. 10 Wake Forest. DiPrima said he was confident in his ability to conduct the Wolfpack’s attack. “I feel like it was definitely something I was capable of doing,” DiPrima said. “Coach Findley gave me an opportunity to show that I could, and I think I stepped up and did well.” DiPrima helped the injury-riddled Wolfpack to a 3-2-3 record since the beginning of October. But this isn’t the first time the senior has helped the Pack in crunch time. In last season’s match at Virginia Tech, DiPrima’s game-winning header gave State an invaluable 1-0 win. Going into the game, the Wolfpack had lost six of its last seven games and was desperate for a win. DiPrima said that his goal against the Hokies was his favorite moment as a Wolfpack player. “We were struggling with injuries, and we really needed to win that
