Hillary Clinton held campaign fundraiser in Raleigh on Wednesday
Left turns may be prohibited in downtown Raleigh on weekends In an effort to reduce noise during the weekends, city planners are considering an ordinance that would change some traffic patterns along Fayetteville Street and Glenwood Avenue. Drivers would not be allowed to turn left at three intersections on Fayetteville Street and five intersections on Glenwood Avenue. Raleigh staff met with taxi companies and business owners to combat traffic and noise issues, especially on Fayetteville Street when bars close at about 2 a.m. The city favors creating taxi zones a block away from Fayetteville Street, but taxi companies did not like the idea.

Parental consent needed to use Wake County school technology The Wake County school board approved a policy that will require parental consent before students will be allowed to use technology July 21. The new “technology responsible use” policy also authorizes the superintendent to go after disruptive social media accounts and websites. Previously, consent was assumed unless parents specifically opted out. Beginning with the 2015-16 school year, parents will be required to sign a form that expressly allows their children to have access to technology, including desktops, laptops, tablets and cell phones, in the classroom.

among opponents of the bill. Since then, Gov. McCrory has softened the legislation by adding an amendment which allows those who can prove that they do not have a photo ID due to factors outside of their control to vote using alternate methods of identification. Because of this, the voter ID portion of the legislation will not be discussed. This series of events was the subject of much of the questions directed to Senator Josh Stein, who took the stand on July 21. Stein said that this action by the Republican leadership is “the most dramatic rewrite of election laws in a generation” and that he does not believe that the bill was intended to protect voter integrity. Stein also said that he could
Recently, the NC State African American Cultural Center gained Frances Graham, an NC State alumnus and former associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, as a new interim director. Graham hopes to contribute to the dialogue on issues of diversity, racism, sexism and gender on campus. “I bring to the table a commitment to the community — engaging them, increasing their awareness around African-American culture and experiences to really bring more students into the center to provide more professional development and leadership opportunities,” Graham said. Graham said that a big challenge the center faces is promoting programs which will add to the rich and diverse culture that it offers to all students interested. The center’s events range from art galleries which showcase AfricanAmerican culture to speakers on inequality and injustice in today’s society. “I think that it will take a multipronged approach for that to happen, so I think that we will have to go to where students are instead of always expecting for students to come to us,” Graham said. Providing opportunities in the residence halls or with partnering student groups will help the center expand, according to Graham.

HB 589: ‘Dramatic rewrite’ Voting rights trial opens old wounds Gavin Stone Assistant News Editor
This week in Winston-Salem, the trial to determine whether a bill passed by North Carolina’s Republican leadership in 2013 carried an explicit intent of suppressing voter populations that tend to vote democratic. The bill included provisions that moved polling sites off of college campuses, shortened the early voting period by seven days, eliminated same-day registration and required voters to present photo ID at the polls. The N.C. NA ACP, Department of Justice and several other groups and individual students have joined the lawsuit against
Gov. Pat McCrory and the state of North Carolina. The plaintiffs charge that McCrory’s additions to House Bill 589 put disproportionate strain on poor, Black, Latino and young voters echoing sentiments that led to the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1965. House Bill 589 was originally passed as a voter ID bill similar to that of other states and was only 16 pages long. However, when the Supreme Court struck down Section 5 of the Civil Rights Act of 1965, thus allowing states to change their voting laws without federal approval, the bill was extended to 57 pages and packed with extra restrictions. The new bill then passed the House and Senate within two days of the Supreme Court’s decision after stagnating in the Senate for two months, raising suspicions
Suspicious package found on Centennial Inez Nicholson News Editor
Emergency personnel responded to a “suspicious package” found on the afternoon of July 20 on Centennial Campus, but hours later, the State Bureau of Investigation’s bomb squad deemed it a false alarm. The package was found in a room at Tower Hall, part of Wolf Ridge, at about 3 p.m. It appeared to be an explosive device but turned out not to be dangerous. During the investigation, it was determined a student had chemicals stored in his room, which is in violation of university policy. An employee who had authorization to be in the
room noticed the device on a shelf, according to University Police Chief Jack Moorman. “It was a very realistic-looking device,” Moorman said. “It definitely appeared to be a bomb when you looked at it because it was constructed in such a way that it was designed to have that appearance.” Tower Hall, Lakeview Hall and the portion of Engineering Building III closest to Tower Hall were evacuated for safety measures. “Anyone that could have been impacted had to be removed from the area,” Moorman said. Personnel from University Police, NC State Fire Marshal’s Office, Raleigh Police Department, Raleigh Bomb Squad, Wake EMS, Raleigh Fire
Department, SBI Bomb Squad, Wake Emergency Management and University Housing were all involved in handling the threat. Both the Raleigh Bomb Squad and SBI Bomb Squad are trained by the FBI. “There was an army of cops when I arrived,” said Hunter Nance, a senior studying computer science and a resident of Wolf Ridge. “I asked if I could go in, and they said I should hold on a minute.” Wolf Ridge had not notified their residents about the incident. “Any time we’re locked out of our apartments

Diabetics could live a ‘sweet’ life without needles Brenden Parsons Staff Writer
For most Americans living with diabetes, insulin injections have become a normal part of everyday life. Thanks to researchers at NC State and UNC-Chapel Hill, these days may soon come to an end due to the innovation with the “smart insulin patch.” For those suffering from diabetes, managing blood sugar levels, prick-
ing fingers, insulin shots and monitoring their diet is the norm. The “smart insulin patch” will lessen these systematic processes and let diabetics live easier lives. The patch, no bigger than the size of a penny, is composed of more than a hundred “microneedles,” each about the size of a hair follicle. Each “microneedle” is filled with insulin and glucose-sensing enzymes that rapidly release medicine when blood sugar levels are too high.
As part of a joint project at UNCCH and NC State, the researchers have tested the smart insulin patch on mice and have seen positive results. It lowered blood glucose levels in mice with Type 1 diabetes for up to nine hours, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. In early testing, researchers discovered that when they used traditional insulin injections on diabetic mice, they saw their blood sugars
stabilize then climb back into having extreme glucose in their blood. However, mice that received the insulin patch had glucose levels normalize within 30 minutes and maintained normality for several hours. Because mice are less sensitive to insulin than humans, the researchers think that the blood sugar-stabilizing effects of the patch could last even longer when given to actual

veryday, the orientation groups take a little detour from getting to know the campus and sit around in circles on the corridor in front of Burlington Hall and spend sometime just chatting, playing a game or asking orientation leaders some questions. One of these many orientation groups play slap hands and make the orientation a little more fun. New student orientations have been taking place all summer to help incoming freshmen to prepare for the new chapter of their life.

VOTING
continued from page 1
not recall any debate on the Senate floor as to the discriminatory aspects of H.B. 589, which is uncommon when a bill deals with fundamental rights such as voting. One of the witnesses to take the stand on Tuesday was a member of a get-out-the-vote group who worked with students during the 2014 election cycle. The defense found several issues with her testimony, focusing on the fact that she could not name any students who did not or could not vote due to H.B. 589, though she said she knew countless students who were unable to vote. Other student witnesses testify-
ing via recorded video explained their struggles with not being able to vote outside of their precinct and dealing with the changes in the laws. Peter Levine, a research professor in philosophy at Tufts University with an expertise in the fields of public policy and civic engagement, testified July 20 that voting is a “habit-forming” activity and that a person is more likely to vote in the future if they vote when they are first eligible. Levine cited data that showed a lower baseline of voter turnout when they do not vote early in life. The plaintiff ’s line of questioning revealed that this trend comes from the psychological effect that voting has, which Levine said is a feeling of confidence or feeling “like a voter.” In addition to building confidence,
Levine said that, by voting, you are put on contact lists which increases the likelihood that you will be contacted by political groups, which data show also increases the likelihood of voting in the future. The defense attempted to find weaknesses in his report by tracing the limits of his research, which only compared the data from the 2010 and 2014 elections. In comparison, Levine’s research found that young people were less likely to vote in 2014, which has been referred to throughout the proceedings as a “blockbuster election” because of the outrageous amount of money spent by the primary candidates. Levine’s research revealed that though college students are in the minority of potential young voters, they are more likely to vote than
students who do not go to college. The defense at one point attempted to nullify the argument that young voters were purposefully discriminated against by suggesting that their numbers were too small to sway an election. In response to this, Levine referred to the 2000 election when approximately 500 votes in Florida decided the election. A former precinct judge speaking on a condition of anonymity said she is having a hard time seeing the defense’s side of the case. “We should be making voting easier for people not harder,” she said after leaving the courtroom July 22. “Hopefully the judge will be impartial.”

BDS, Academic Freedom and Anti-Semitism Academic boycotts of Israel advocated by BDS supporters not only strangle free expression, they also deny Jewish self-determination. Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions-sponsored boycotts of Israeli academic institutions tarnish the integrity of any school that stands for academic freedom—the open-minded, tolerant exchange of ideas. Worse, BDS couches its arguments against Israel in half-truths and lies meant to delegitimize the Jewish state.

patients. Testing has now moved onto larger animals, like pigs. If the smart insulin patch is successful with the pigs, the clinical trials will move onto humans, though it may take several years, according to Jicheng Yu, a graduate student studying in the joint department of biomedical engineering at UNC-CH and NC State. The faster response of this approach holds promise in avoiding hyperglycemia in the blood system. The patch has a more precise injection of measuring the quantity of insulin and will prevent diabetics from receiving too much or too little insulin. Zhen Gu, assistant professor in the biomedical engineering department at NC State, has
been working on this project for two years and was inspired to do this research because of how many people are affected from diabetes. “As a biomedical engineer, we really want to help people with diabetes to improve their health and quality of life,” Gu said. Eventually the researchers would like to develop a patch that would last several days without replacement, according to Gu. Diabetes affects more than 387 million people worldwide, according to the Diabetes News Journal, and that number is expected to continue to climb. Nearly 30 million Americans suffer from the disease according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The research was funded by a pilot grant from the NC TraCS Institute and a Pathway to Stop Diabetes Research Award from the American Diabetes Association.

because the bomb squad is there, I think that deserves an explanation,” said Dixon Crews, a senior studying computer science and a resident of Wolf Ridge. The person to whom the device belonged could not be named by University Police yet but has received a judicial referral to the Office of Student Conduct. Because there was no identified intent that the device was used to cause panic, no criminal charges have been made. “When you have an incident where you think there may be a threat, there is always an air of caution,” Moorman said. “You need the right personnel there.

Dr. Frances Graham is the Interim Director of the African American Cultural Center at NC State. She previously held positions as vice chancellor of various departments at North Carolina Central University and was the Assistant Vice Provost for Gender Affairs and Director of the Women’s Center at NC State. One of Dr. Graham’s professional goals is to creaate career fairs, offer coaching, and other initiatives in order to increase the number of Black women in executive and leadership positions in places of higher education.

Graham said he hopes to work with centers like Multicultural Student Affairs, the Women’s Center and the GLBT Center to all come together and host diversity events which provide training and awareness for reflection for not only students but faculty and staff as well. Promoting the center is a big concern for not only Graham, but also for many students who attend NC State. The cultural center has a great opportunity to grow inside and outside of its walls. “If other centers can spread information around campus, for example the Witherspoon’s movie theater, the health centers, etc., then the same amount of work can be poured into spreading the word about the
cultural center because identity and diversity are very important in this university,” said Viante Dile-Basnight, a freshman in First Year College. Kayla McCoy, a freshman majoring in art studies, said that she felt the African American Cultural Center should play a bigger role on campus. “I think that it’s important for students to know about the available resources for them,” McCoy said. “They can learn more about who they are whether they are African-American or not, but to just learn about the culture in general.” Of the many goals stated by Graham, a big focus is the involvement of students. Her effort, combined with the interested students, should be sufficient in bringing the cultural center the promotion Graham intends to achieve. “Creating new programs that our stu-
dents haven’t seen yet will draw some interest with and for our students,” Graham said. “I think getting our students to develop programs and bring them into the center would be another way to get them engaged and find some ways to really get our students and faculty connected to create partnerships that we could align to create programs.” Finding creative ways to add some fun to the cultural center is what Graham hopes will come with bringing in more students. “We need a balance between the cultural and educational activities — the fun kinds of activities that don’t require booking a speaker or booking a place,” Graham said. “Taking students to the bowling alley would be as much fun as the rest of the offered programs.”

Starbucks
Kelley Wheeler, junior studying art studies
New Talley Starbucks is full of beans R
ecently, yet another Starbucks opened its doors. Their new location? None other than Talley Student Union. The new site originally received very positive traffic, mostly from Caucasian females in the 1824 demographic ordering Gabe DeCaro predominantly the Venti Staff Columnist Sugarcane-extract Frappuccino. However, in the past couple of days, the store has started to gather protestors from an ideologically diverse spectrum of student organizations. “It’s just bad economics,” said Clifford Lexington, senior in the Poole College of Management and co-secretary of NC State’s Entrepreneurship Initiative. “North Carolina State University prides itself on being an ally to business and upstart entrepreneurs. But at the same time, it pulls this move against small local coffee shops? For shame, man, for shame,” Lexington lamented. Lexington, who recently published a paper that analyzes the coffee market of Ankazobe, Madagascar, described the process of market saturation. A market is said to be saturated when a good has been thoroughly diffused within a location. As such, in this situation, a company cannot grow its market share without drawing from another company. NC State’s campus already has an oversized fleet of Port City Javas, many decent “mom and pop” coffee shops, sketchy pep pill pushers and uncountable Keurig machines that are fully capable of satisfying the university’s rather large demand for caffeine. “Starbucks is a serious threat to the carefully cultivated culture of Hillsborough Street. Its ubiquitous brand recognition, convenient location in Talley and sophisticated supply line give the franchise significant advantages over the smaller stores and can potentially run them out of business. In the past, Starbucks has been notorious for undercutting local competition using ethically ambiguous measures rather than providing a genuinely superior product. A place like Global Village or Cup A Joe could benefit the students significantly more with a franchise in the Talley location. Plus, they could’ve actually served a drinkable cup of coffee that’s less acidic than concentrated hydrogen chloride.” Lory McGilless, director of marketing and communication for Campus Exploitations Enterprises, disagreed with Lexington’s stance. “In the well-formulated opinion of us higher education technocrats, it’s completely fine that there are two coffee shops in Talley; it’s totally reasonable and sane,” she said. “Port City Java offers more overpriced food options than Starbucks. Honestly, we’re just branching out and try-
ing to provide something that every student would complacently tolerate without too much protest.” McGilless denied being on the payroll for Starbucks. In addition to the dozen protesters from the Entrepreneurship Initiative, 20 members of the College Marxists joined the fight in front of the Starbucks. Slavoj Keziz, junior in philosophy and chapter president, spoke for the group: “Besides their coffee tasting like a combination of mud and rust with undertones of coke ash, Starbucks is an affront to the dignity of man. “The corporation does not treat its baristas like decent men and women, but rather as mechanical sources of labor value. They are not instructed to think creatively about the brewing of coffee drinks or see the fruits of their labor in the final product. These poor laborers are forced to don their khakis and aprons and press a series of buttons and pumps to manufacture a preconfigured beverage created by some tasteless bureaucrat in Seattle. They are paid meager wages and given some trivial stock options in exchange for selling their labor value, their very essence,” droned Keziz. “Besides exploiting the surplus labor value of the proletariat, Starbucks has established its brand through ‘ethical capitalism.’ Have you ever noticed how they advertise that they are donating some infinitesimally small percent of proceeds to some indisputably good charity such as Guatemalan children or the troops? Now you, as the drinker of Starbucks coffee no longer feel like an empty consumer of over-sugared coffee, but you rationalize your purchase under the perverted guise of philanthropy. The old platitude goes ‘you are what you eat.’ In this case, you, my friend, are pure consumerist ideology.” Keziz continued to rant on his soapbox about commodity fetishism for another 20 minutes, but this reporter ran out of space on his tape recorder. Louise Kasterson, University Dining’s director of something, said the following in response to Keziz: “Keziz sounds like he has read too much philosophy. He’s implying that there are problems when there are none. It’s very simple. NC State students will enjoy the new Starbucks because we, the omniscient administrators, tell them they will. If they disagree with us, they’re no better than Tarheels!” Kasterson continued, “Also, NC State students will surely enjoy the Toffee Mocha Peppermint Macchiatoccino with whipped cream! The hectograms of sugar in the drink coupled with the gluttonous amounts of chocolate will not only mask the unbearable bitterness of the dragon blend, but also give you enough energy to get through your morning class and power a small town.”

hile we as a nation continue to spread the alms of democracy around the world, it is important to recognize the legacy our country has built as a Bryan Maxwell lesson to those more Correspondent novice governments striving to emulate us. In the last several decades, we’ve helped provide early intervention on other nations’ coarse attempts at democracy. We’ve denounced other countries’ unsavory governing styles. And perhaps all this confusion over how to run a good democracy exists because we haven’t been able to preach the good word well. A lot of languages are out there, so things may have gotten lost in translation. As a quick “how-to” for f ledgling nations aspiring to greatness, let’s take a moment to clear up what makes a good democracy. If you’re a start-up nation, you may have found yourself in a pretty scary situation. Feeling things you’ve never felt, seeing things you’ve never seen. As a party in power, you may have even arrived in a nation that’s not entirely your own — or yours at all. This can be intimidating at first. Fortunately for you, an indigenous population is probably somewhere around to help you get on your feet. Know the lay of the land. They’ll be incredibly instrumental in your start-up. Once you’ve really gotten your footing though, and are ready to expand, you may need to redraw property lines. After all, what matters most is the establishment of democracy. The natives will agree — sacrifices have to be made in order to create a civilized society. After a hectic period of scuff ling and reshuff ling, it may complement the benefits they’ve received from relocation to incorporate them in reeducation efforts on how to fit into the new society. It’s a win-win. Help support their history. Honor them with professional sports teams. They’ll appreciate it, even if their words don’t sound like thanks. You may now find the situation is improving. Government and enterprise are f lourishing. But you may find that your new society is slightly understaffed. Don’t fret. Willing labor can always be found. Feel free to scout local (or not so local) areas for potential workers. Before you know it, you’ll have a bustling economy by their helping hands. Don’t worry about extending equal opportunity to engage in politics to your new employees. They may not have a lot of spare time due to being tied up by work, literally. Resist any regional efforts to reform workers’ rights. Nothing’s more harmful to your citizens’ autonomy than
trying to hinder labor and industry. Be slow to integrate them into your new society; it takes time to adjust to new surroundings. Feel free at any juncture to tell them they can let go of the past already. Sometimes it takes an objective opinion from someone who didn’t receive the same wonders of being welcomed to the new world. If you’re just beginning, your leadership team will likely be mostly male. Don’t be concerned about this; early advances often need the aggressive and decisive politics that men can provide. You’ll have plenty of time to incorporate women into politics, but don’t rush it. Like running a marathon, longevity can make the finish all the more rewarding. When they’re ready for the responsibility of equal voting rights, women won’t hesitate to ask for it. This may be a good approach toward rights for the sexually deviant too. Other countries might beat you to it, but remember: Slow and steady wins the race. After not too long, you’re going to realize you’ve become a pretty complex system. Congratulations! You yourself may not even be able to parse through the legal labyrinth and thousands of pages explaining your own law and order. You have lawyers for that. It may come to the point where your citizens simply don’t have the extra time in their busy lives working to support the system you’ve built to understand the complexities of politics. Reading things takes forever. You may find it more practical to let your government be helped by lobbyists. These charitable individuals take the time to fully understand both sides of social issues and educate themselves on what’s best for society, and you don’t even have to pay them for their legislative advice; they’re usually fully compensated by socially conscious businesses who also care about the public welfare. One other thing: try not to always talk about your noble past in history classes or textbooks, especially about some of the things covered here. Nobody likes a braggart. It’s unbecoming of a great nation to always be tooting its horn. Lastly, because you’ve probably accomplished all of this in a matter of 20 to 30 years, you might find yourself frustrated when other countries take years to move on the same social issues. It’s impossible to believe you took so long to mature on the same points, but so much as happened that it’s hard to remember. Again, don’t worry, as a now major economic player you have additional tools at your disposal. That’s what sanctions are for.

In addition to the risky move of demonstrating their radical political beliefs to the world, many of these hardcore activists have taken their political actions further by posting article links from The Huffington Post, Buzzfeed and other wellwritten leftist news sources. Jasyn Papier, a sophomore studying mechanical engineering, was one of the many brave revolutionaries who recently changed his profile picture. “I remember June 26 like it was yesterday,” reminisced Papier. “I woke up and picked up my copy of USA Today. With the sports section as a coaster for my coffee, I read the headline ‘Supreme Court strikes down bans on same-sex marriage.’ I smiled ear to ear and even let out a little fist bump in celebration. Without reading the article, I posted a picture of the newspaper and my breakfast to my Instagram with the caption ‘#loveislove #pride.’ It felt really great to be part of making history.”

Despite not having taken part in any pride march or at the very least realizing the existence of NC State’s GLBT Center, Papier said he felt very proud of his post’s record 234 likes. “Instagram was not enough for me though. I had to spread the great news so that the whole world could hear! So I applied the rainbow effect to my profile picture to let all my friends know that #lovewins.” Not all reactions to Papier’s landmark have been quite as positive. According to Papier, three of his acquaintances have unfriended him from Facebook and one sent a passiveaggressive message to him. Papier has bravely weathered this opposition saying, “All revolutionaries suffer for their cause. I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country.” Papier said he would engage in a heightened level of social discourse with his peers for at least until the new Caitlyn Jenner reality TV show comes on. When asked about his stance on other challenges the LGBT community faces, such as discrimination and alarming homelessness, suicide and HIV rates, Papier responded, “Oh yeah, those are bad too, I guess.”

Vet school rescues wild foal from Outer Banks Carolyn Thompson Correspondent
The young Colonial Spanish Mustang foal known as Guillermo, or William, was born on the beaches of Corolla, North Carolina and has since been capturing the hearts of many as he fights for his life. Born on June 12, veterinarians believe William was a premature foal, and like premature human babies, he experienced a host of health complications and internal problems which led to his hospitalization. “William was born during an extremely hot week,” said Karen McCalpin, executive director of the Corolla Wild Horse Fund (CWHF). “Heat indices were around 107– 110. When he was first seen by the CWHF, they were concerned about his extremely small size and lack of vigor. Compared to other foals, he was definitely behind in his size and behavior.” The plan was to capture both the dam and the foal if his health did not pick up by day five, which is what had to happen, McCalpin explained. The CWHF, a non-profit organization which aims to protect and preserve the last remaining herd of Spanish Mustangs on the northern Outer Banks, has been raising money for William’s medical expenses with the support of the community. Donations have been facilitated through the Corolla Wild Horses’ Website and a gofundme page that raised more than $25,000 in only one month. “The story of William’s journey was chronicled on the Corolla Wild Horse Fund’s Facebook page, and over 1.6 million people were touched by it,” McCalpin said. “It
has been shared over 11,000 times. Over 600 people from all over the country donated over $25,000 toward his medical care and thousands wrote supportive messages, sent their love and prayed for this wild foal who refused to give up.” The donations are helping pay for medical bills, according to the CWHF Facebook page. Emergency treatment received in Suffolk, Virginia before being taken to NC State, treatment after leaving NC State and the use of a nurse pony from NC State named Pebbles, are some of the other ways the money is being put to use. According to McCalpin, William was first taken to Dominion Equine Clinic in Suffolk where blood work was done and fluids were administered. His blood pressure and heart rate were low. He was given oxygen and epinephrine but could not be stabilized. William was then referred to NC State where he was driven by McCalpin and Christina Reynolds, the CWHF’s herd manager. Pebbles the nurse pony will serve as William’s surrogate mother until he is at least four months old, and it is from Pebbles that William first began to nurse instead of receiving nutrients through a feeding tube. The CWHF was founded in 1989. The need for the organization arose between 1985 and 1996, when 20 horses were killed by vehicles on the stretch of road between Duck and Corolla. A group of citizen volunteers came together to form the organization, and to prevent further horse fatalities, they moved the remaining 20 horses north of Highway 12 to the “north beach.” Today, the beach area is open to the public,

but the horses are protected by an ordinance. The wild horse group that William was born from is often a point of interest for visitors and tourists, and while the horses may be more accustomed to humans, it is still recommended not to approach them or to move away if they approach you. These horses are not protected by special state or federal laws, but they are “protected by the Currituck County Wild Horse Ordinance making it illegal to intentionally come within 50 feet of a wild horse or to lure, entice, harass or feed,” the CWHF website stated. In the case of William, the high temperature at the time of his birth made nursing crucial, but the mother must be still for him to nurse, and vehicles or people may cause a
mother to move from her foal and interrupt nursing. Along with William’s small size, heart problems, respiratory problems and other medical issues, he was found to have elevated liver enzyme levels. These findings were slightly concerning since elevated liver enzymes could be indicative of a problem in the liver or other medical conditions, but William has been closely monitored throughout his healing process and will continue to be monitored. “William comes from strong stock with an iron will to live,” McCalpin said. “His relatives and ancestors have survived hurricanes and fierce nor’easters on the Outer Banks for nearly five centuries. They are now a critically endangered breed.” William has healed and tri-
umphed through many phases of his recovery. He has gone from having to have oxygen delivered and using feeding tubes, catheters and IV fluids to being able to successfully nurse and run around like any other healthy foal. “William has been dubbed by his fans as ‘Iron William,’ ‘The Little Foal That Could,’ ‘Moon Doggie’ and a host of other endearing nicknames,” McCalpin said. “He captured the hearts of over a million people nationally and internationally. Our hope is that William will grow into a strong and healthy colt who will continue to educate the world about the resilience, the intelligence, the grace and beauty of Corolla’s endangered Colonial Spanish Mustangs — the North Carolina State horse.”
Show preview: Future Islands 1,000th Show COURTESY OF DANIELLE CAROZZA

Future Islands has played more shows in North Carolina than any other state and have chosen to have their historic 1,000th show in Carrboro, North Carolina. Future Islands formed in 2006 in Greenville, North Carolina. Gerrit Welmers, William Cashion and Samuel T. Herring started Future Islands while studying at East Carolina University. Even though they relocated to Baltimore, Maryland, they have always had a special bond with their home state — from recording albums here, to playing spectacular sold out shows. Future Islands released three albums before releasing “Singles” in 2014. The band became a viral hit following its network television debut on “The Late Show with David Letterman” and went on to win various awards including Pitchfork’s Best Song of 2014 for their track “Seasons (Waiting On You).” Future Islands’ sound is both unique and familiar. With Welmers on the keys and Cashion on guitar/bass, they create incredibly danceable music, yet far from just that. Herring’s voice sets Future Islands apart from most other pop groups. His raspy, emotionally filled vocals give weight to the lyrics and add a sense of importance as if each word was carefully selected, something unknown to mainstream pop. Future Islands’ newest album sounds just like pop should: light, catchy and engaging. It toes the lines between recognizable and abstract. In addition to their great albums, Future Islands has given many unforgettable performances. When Herring gets on the stage, he commands everyone’s attention through his incredible showmanship. No matter how big or small the venue, Herring is sure to traverse the whole stage with his signature headbobbing and hunched over dancing. Perhaps his most powerful moments are when he takes center stage and brings the music alive by singing directly to the audience, pounding his chest with such ferocity that his heart might stop. Future Islands has returned to North Carolina for their 1,000th show, and they have brought along some friends. The lineup features an eclectic group of artists including Dan Deacon, Danny Brown, Ed Schrader’s Music Beat, Valient Thorr and Lonnie Walker. The show will take place in Carrboro Commons on Sunday, July 26. WKNC will have a table located next to the band merchandise, so feel free to stop by and grab WKNC swag.
Danny Brown is hip-hop’s most interesting character to date. Not since Busta Rhymes has a rap artist straddled the lines of so many genres and embodied a persona that is out of this world. Wearing black skinny jeans, studded leather jackets and rocking a mohawk/flat top with green tips, he looks more like a punk-rocker. However, Brown’s lyrics are the most authentic raps that the genre has seen in years. He rhymes about the streets of his hometown Detroit, but not in the braggadocious, semiromanticizing way that we’ve become accustomed to in rap music. Brown’s lyrics are captivatingly introspective and paint an ugly picture of what the impoverished landscape of Detroit looks like, many times in a way that’s downright scary. He burst out onto the scene in 2010 with his first album, “The Hybrid,” after years of mixtape obscurity. Hybrid got him the following he needed to release his second album “XXX” which dropped on his August 15, 2011. “XXX” was praised by every music publication in circulation as the best rap album of 2011. With influences of old school hip-hop, grime, drum and bass, indie rock and more, “XXX” solidified Danny’s place as the music industry’s new mad man. He followed up “XXX” with “Old” in 2013, which boasted production from a wide array of producers who don’t have anything to do with mainstream hip-hop (Purity Ring is one of them). He turned this eccentric trip into a Billboard topping success that has cemented him into the conversation as one of the most creative rappers on the scene right now. Personally, I’m excited to see Brown take the stage in Carrboro, North Carolina on Sunday. The last time he was in the area was at Cat’s Cradle last April, and he tore the house down. Going through hits from “Hybrid” to “Old,” he had everyone in attendance singing along to the point where he took a break to let the crowd sing his songs for him. He obviously likes us here in North Carolina after his last visit, so I’m expecting him to show the crowd at Future Islands 1000 some major love with an amazing set.

Solar aviators seek to round globe COURTESY OF SOLAR IMPULSE
Solar Impulse 2, a plane powered completely by solar technology, comes in to land in Hawaii. The flight from Japan to Hawaii took a total of 5 days and nights airborne over the Pacific. This marks the plane’s first stop of 4 in the United States for the around world attempt. The US portion will end in New York City before crossing the Atlantic for Europe.

NC State alumnus Sarah A nd rews is work i ng on a team to make the f irst journey around the world without fuel in a solar powered plane. Solar Impulse is a project founded by Swiss natives, Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg. Piccard, a psychologist, and Borshberg, an engineer and former Swiss fighter pilot, have a vision of revolutionizing aviation into a process without fuel. The motivation for the project came in 1999 after Piccard completed the f irst continuous balloon f light to circumnavigate the globe. Having burned 3.7 tons of propane, Piccard decided that aviation needed to establish more sustainable practices. This decision lead him to begin exploratory research, which eventually turned into the Solar Impulse Project. Since its beginning, Solar Impulse has built multiple successful prototypes and ha s e st abl i shed se vera l historica l mi lestones in aviation. Solar Impulse 1 was the first solar powered plane to f ly for 24 hours st ra ig ht, i nclud i ng several hours of night f lying. Solar Impulse’s improved and more efficient plane, Solar Impulse 2, is now in the process of becoming the first solar plane to f ly around the world. To achieve this monumental feat, Solar Impulse has allied with several innovative companies such as Solvay, Schindler, Omega and ABB. In 2007, A ndrews was hired as an intern at ABB, an engineering company based in Cary, North Caro-
lina. Andrews received her degrees in business management a nd ma rket ing and media communication in 2008 and then was hired as a full-time employee. When ABB allied with the Solar Impulse project in 2014, Andrews was named the project manager of the alliance. T h i s p o s i t i on pl a c e s Andrews in charge of any media relations regarding the plane while it is in U.S. airspace. Government officials, sponsors, universities and others are always interested in seeing the plane and meeting the pilots. Andrews makes this possible by organizing events like a recent dinner that was held under the plane’s wings after it landed in Hawaii. The purpose of ABB’s alliance with Solar Impulse is to help make progress toward a better, more sustainable world. To accomplish this, Andrews reaches out and informs universities and students about the Solar Impulse Project and the impact the project has on the global community. Andrews has been interested in sustainable energy since her time at NC State, and she hopes that her work inspires others to see the potential for a sustainable future. “I enjoy reaching out to universities to teach students about a better world,” Andrews said. A lt hough A ndrews remains energetic about her position, the job doesn’t come without its challenges. Solar Impulse’s f light around the world is divided into 13 segments with four stops in the United States. Andrews must make detailed plans for a ll four stops. The plane’s f light is
often restricted because of weather and length of days. “There are no set dates, so it is difficult to schedule and make plans. I don’t know who will be able to come, so plans cannot be finalized,” Andrews said. Despite the challenges, A ndrews successf ully planned for Solar Impulse’s U.S. stop in Hawaii and has already made plans for the plane’s 2016 stop in Phoenix, Arizona. “I can honestly say that I’ve never seen someone remain so positive and so energetic, and most impor ta nt ly, so incredibly organized in the face of so many unknowns,” said Melisa London, director of North American Media Relations for ABB. “But Sarah remained calm and f lexible, and she managed the crucial details so that when history finally happened in Hawaii, she, our customers and the general public were there to witness it.” Af ter mont hs of planning, Andrews was finally rewarded for her work in March as she watched Solar Impulse land on the runway in Hawaii. “I was on t he runway in Hawaii when the plane touched down,” Andrews said. “I was part of history. I was able to meet the pilots and the Solar Impulse crew in person. It made all the planning worthwhile.” Because of a battery failure, Solar Impulse 2 will be grounded in Hawaii until the spring of 2016. This puts Andrews’ work with Solar Impulse on hold until the end of this year, but she remains excited to see the completion of the aroundthe-world f light.

Pack hauls in stellar ‘15-16 class

Zack Tanner Interim Sports Editor
With a national championship each of the past two years, NC State wrestling has been on the rise, a fact which is shown in the Wolfpack’s 2015-16 recruiting class. During the past two weeks, the team has garnered verbal commitments from three top-60 prospects, in addition to a top-20 prospect who committed earlier in the year. Willie Saylor, editor at FloWrestling, said in a tweet the Pack’s ‘15-16 recruiting class would be ranked “probably #1 right now.” Head coach Pat Popolizio tweeted in response to the commitments, “truly amazing things [are] happening” for his program. The first member of the class to commit was Hayden Hidlay of Mifflin County High School in Lewisville, Pennsylvania. Hidlay is the top-ranked prospect in his class according to FloWrestling, posting a 104-19 record in his three years of high school so far, including three-straight district championships and a third-place finish in the state at 145 pounds last year. Hidlay boasts 36 pins and has never been pinned in his career. Last week, twin brothers Thomas and Daniel Bullard of Archer High School in Lawrenceville, Georgia committed to State. The twins are ranked No. 45 and No. 50 in their class, respectively.

Thomas has three state titles to his name at the 160-pound weight class, as well as two NHSCA championships. Daniel also won the state championships three times at 170 pounds and has a Powerade Championship title as well. The Bullard twins were a package deal, according to FloWrestling, and chose NC State over Virginia, Lehigh and in-state rival UNC-Chapel Hill.

the fourth top-60 prospect to join the Pack. Like State’s other top recruits, Devlin is a state champion, taking home the New York state title at 132 pounds the past two years. Devlin also won the NHSCA Junior Nationals in March. With two-time NCAA heavyweight champion Nick Gwiazdowski anchoring the team next season and a powerful group of young talent heading to Raleigh, NC State will likely be a popular destination for top high school wrestlers in the years to come.

the team will have its starting quarterback returning to Raleigh for the first time in Doeren’s tenure at State. Brissett will look to follow up his breakout season with the Pack with an even stronger performance this year. Brissett said he has been working on not only his game, but his leadership in the offseason. “I feel like in those hard times I need to step up and calm the storm better than I did last year,” Brissett said. “Everything else will take care of itself. If the players will understand the situation, they’ll make more plays, and I’ll make more plays.” Behind him, redshirt freshman Jalan McClendon’s similar style of play will allow him to come off the bench without dropping a beat. “If we feel like there’s an injury in a game, we don’t have to change what we do,” Doeren said. “We have another 6-foot-6 guy that can run and throw and is tough. It’s a great scenario to have on your team.” Brissett’s weapons and protection will be in question, however, as many of the Pack’s starting wide receivers and offensive linemen left the program. The Pack will be adding a strong stable of freshmen running backs joining veteran backs Shadrach Thornton and Matt Dayes, a core that Rose said is a challenge to battle in practice. “I was surprised that Johnny Frasier was so fast,” Rose said. “I was surprised for a guy that’s 230. I didn’t think he was fast, just a big back. Nyheim Hines, that kid can fly. Reggie Gallaspy has a real chance to play. We probably have a back for every style we’re going to play.”

Redshirt senior quarterback Jacoby Brissett speaks at a press conference during the ACC Football Kickoff held at Pinehurst Golf Resort on July 20. “Going from the 3-9 season to the 8-5 season, it showed you we could play with anybody and we’re serious,” Brissett said. “That’s going to springboard us into this year to understand that we have to make sure that we’re ready to play a lot of other teams, but a lot of other teams have to worry about playing us, too.”

Head coach Dave Doeren, redshirt senior quarterback Jacoby Brissett and senior defensive end Mike Rose discussed expectations and additions to the team during their media appearances at the ACC Football Kickoff July 20-21 at the Pinehurst Golf Resort in Pinehurst, North Carolina. Doeren said with the type of season his team had in 2014, he fully expects the Pack to be contenders in the ACC in 2015. “At the end of the season, we were playing very confident team football,” Doeren said. “Our guys believed they could beat anybody in the country. Now we’ve got to go out there and do it.” One area of stability on the Wolfpack is under center, as

MEDIA VOTES ON PRESEASON TEAM As a part of the ACC Football Kickoff, members of the media voted for the preseason all-ACC team, as well as other accolades. Clemson was selected as the favorite to win the ACC at the end of the upcoming season, while the Tigers’ sophomore quarterback DeShaun Watson was given the honor of Preseason Player of the Year. Despite the high praises for his team, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said he did not concern himself with such expectations. ‘’I appreciate people having respect for our program and our players, but really it truly is about the performance,’’ Swinney said. ‘’And hopefully, when all is said and done in December, whoever voted for it, we can make them look real smart.’’ Though Florida State has hoisted the ACC Championship tro-
phy each of the past three seasons, Clemson earned more than twice of the Seminoles many votes to win the conference, 84-41. NC State garnered one vote for conference champion but strangely failed to earn any votes to win the Atlantic Division. Again, Clemson was tabbed as the favorite in the Atlantic, with Florida State, Louisville and the Wolfpack trailing in that order. Senior NC State defensive end Mike Rose said it was the Pack’s goal not only to beat expectations, but also to take the team’s first ACC title since 1979. “I aspire to lead my team to an ACC championship,” Rose said. “If we won the ACC championship Raleigh would shut down.” The preseason teams have yet to be announced, but expect to see Wolfpack standouts Matt Dayes and Joe Thuney on the final roster.
John Swofford, commissioner of the ACC, took questions from the media in an hour-long session the morning of July 20. Swofford announced a new position of medical observer — a team-appointed physician who will watch over players from the booth. “This team-specific medical observer will have the benefit of knowing the medical history of the players because it will be somebody who is involved with them on an ongoing and day-to-day basis,” Swofford said. As the new position is an “experiment,” Swofford said the observer will not have the authority to stop the game but will be able to communicate with the coaches and make decisions about whether a player is fit to continue playing. The commission also made comments in response to recent alle-
gations of domestic violence from players within the conference, saying he will allow the schools to discipline their own players. “While there’s strong belief about what should be done, there’s a concurrent belief it should remain the purview of the institution,” Swofford said. “They don’t see the necessity of putting in a conference rule regarding it at this point in time.” Swofford also discussed the College Football Playoff, saying an expansion to eight teams would be unlikely in the near future. However, he said if it were not for outlying factors such as exams, eight teams would be a better option. “In a perfect world, if you only want to talk about football, and only about a playoff, yeah, eight would probably be better,” Swofford said.
