A strain of drug-resistant head lice has spread into North Carolina, affecting grade-school children. Head lice of all kinds can spread quickly within a classroom, where children share combs and brushes, hats, headsets and earbuds. Even a hug with head contact gives the lice an opportunity to move from child to child. As many as 12 million school-age kids, mostly between 3 and 11 years of age, get lice each year. The typical treatment is an over-the-counter shampoo containing insecticides called pyrethroids, but the new strain of lice appears to have developed a genetic resistance. SOURCE: WRAL.com

‘Captain America’ awarded Air Force’s highest honor
Airman 1st Class Spencer Stone, who stopped a gunman armed with an AK-47 on a French train on Friday, was nominated for the highest noncombat honor offered by the Air Force by Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James on Monday. “Last Friday, as you know, evil arrived in the form of a heavily armed gunman on a high-speed passenger train in Europe, a gunman who brandished an AK-47, hundreds of bullets, a Luger pistol and a box-cutter,” James told reporters at a Pentagon briefing. “What the gunman didn’t expect, however, was a confrontation with our very own ‘Captain America,’” James said. “And believe it or not, that is what Airman Stone’s friends nicknamed him during Air Force technical training.” SOURCE: News & Observer

GoTriangle, the regional bus and transportation planning agency, recently released a report that details where the future light rail system will go, where they will stop and why, though much is still to be worked out in terms of funding, politics and engineering of the project. Durham and Orange counties are partnering on the development of 17-mile, 17-station light rail line. The report won’t settle all the arguments about the $1.5 billion to $1.6 billion project for some residents in southwest Durham and east Durham.

Students can produce a pretty hefty ecological footprint, especially with the pileup of unused school supplies, appliances and technology, and that’s where The Campus Market finds its niche. Since the start of 2015, The Campus Market, an online platform for students to buy and sell used items, has given more than 30,000 students the opportunity to sell and purchase old textbooks and other materials for better prices than retail counterparts, all with the hopes of reducing students’ waste. The Campus Market also allows college students across the nation the chance to sell items ranging from textbooks, appliances, electronics, tickets and anything that they might not need at the end of a semester. With these physical items, The Campus Market also allows people to find potential roommates, tutors and living quarters. The Campus Market is available to universities across the nation. Schools in North Carolina, along with NC State, such as Appalachian State, Duke, East Carolina and UNC-Chapel Hill use the platform. “When you go to a college like NC State, there is a sense of community, and students don’t want to mislead students, especially with them living so close to the other;

Smoothie U, NC State’s newest addition to University Dining, opened in April. Hefty planning went into the creation of the smoothie shop, according to Jennifer Gilmore. Allergy and health concerns were taken into concern when planning the menu. Smoothie U offers both fruit-based and dessert-based smoothies.

Smoothie U, a relatively new dining option for students, is located in the Atrium, overlooking the Brickyard. Right in the heart of campus, Smoothie U is a one-stop shop for students’ blendable needs that offers a wide array of fresh, fruity and protein-packed options. Recent ly opened i n Apr i l, Smoothie U is engineered with students in mind with its brightly colored and contemporary style. “Some students are drawn to more tart, juice-based options, and others want more of a treat or dessert aspect,” said Jennifer Gilmore, the director of Marketing and Communications for Campus Enterprises.
She said the staff learned from previous ventures that students have a wide palate when it comes to smoothies. Some students agree that Smoothie U is indeed delicious, like Julia Lumbattis, a junior studying communication. “I love having so many different smoothies to choose from,” she said. “It’s great to have some quick, healthy options for days when I am running from class to class. My favorite is the Raspberry Truffle- it’s the perfect combination of sweet and chocolaty.” However, some students believe the smoothies are not worth the price, like Anna Shelton, a senior studying human biology. “Smoothie U has nothing on Freshens, the old smoothie place,”

Say farewell to FYC, welcome University College VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS WILL NOW BE UNDER A NEW UMBRELLA WITHIN DASA Cody Drum Davidson Correspondent
Inez Nicholson News Editor
NC State: say hello to University College, the new home of exploratory studies, unaffiliated academic departments and interdisciplinary undergraduate major and minor degree programs not already housed in a college. The biggest change students can expect to see is the transition of the “firstyear college” sign to say “exploratory studies.” Opportunities within University College include undergraduate research, honors and scholars, courses and minors in music and theater, health and exercise studies and military science, among others. Although University College encapsulates many programs on campus, it will continue to col-
laborate and work with other organizations on campus, such as CSLEPS and various Living and Learning Villages. “We are a resource center that will hopefully be better known on the campus in terms of what we provide,” said Barbara Kirby, associate vice provost of the Division of Academic and Student Affairs. “We are not replacing the work or the role of any of the colleges or advisors around campus, but we are here to support and help those advisors from other colleges that may need support and help from our advising services.” These changes may seem like a total overhaul of the current system, but in reality, the new structure mainly affects the administrative side of things. “The biggest things that students will notice are name changes, such as the creation of the Exploratory Studies Program, which was formerly First Year College, which
will be under the umbrella of the new ‘University College,’” said Justin Hammond, the director of marketing and communication for the Division of Academic and Student Affairs. Because of these changes, many smaller programs will get more attention, and thus, funds will be better allocated to serve students’ needs. When a program is a non-major program, it doesn’t always get the financial attention a larger college would, according to DASA’s director of business administration, Barry Olson. “We need to be that cheerleader and remind people the connections students have to the various programs under the Division of Academic and Student Affairs,” Olson said. The long-term goal of University College is to create an environment that ensures success for students during their time at NC State by increasing retention rate
and graduating students on time. “If we can better meet the strategic goals of the university, which are to gain continued prominence both academically and experientially, as well as offer more high impact programs, then we can achieve our ultimate goal of students’ success,” Olson said. Before this reorganization, many of the resources on campus were scattered and reported to different offices around campus. University College will allow students to be able to go to one place to find many different resources. “University College brings most of the academic programs that were already in Academic and Student Affairs but were housed in different subdivisions, together into one subdivision,” said vice chancellor and dean of the new University College, Mike Mullen. University College was put into effect July 1. “We view the University Col-
lege to be a ‘one-stop shop’ for academic support and engagement for all students,” Mullen said. “We want students to take advantage of all academic opportunities at NC State, from academic advising and coaching to undergraduate research, honors and scholars.” DASA and University College’s goal is to make it easier for students to get involved by consolidating many departments into one coherent college. “The purpose is to better serve all students who need academic support or are looking for opportunities to engage more fully outside the classroom,” Mullen said. Planning for the creation of University College has been in place for quite some time, beginning in spring of 2013. The provost appointed the team so University College could launch at the beginning of this semester.

Respect for NC teachers plummets O
n Monday night, two headlines at the forefront of the Education News section of the News and Observer’s website read “Triangle schools report smooth opening to new school year” and “Triangle schools to open Monday amid changes and uncertainty.” Which one comes closer to the truth? Yesterday, Wake County schools opened while being 100 teachers short. Though this is, as what one of those missing teachers might have said of Freud’s conceptualization of the ego, merely the tip of the iceberg.

“What are your thoughts on North Carolina’s treatment of teachers?” BY SAM FELDSTEIN
“I think it could be better; they could be paid better since they teach basics for all learning. They could get more respect for what they do.” Mikaela Kelley freshman, Exploratory Studies
“To be honest, I think the state of North Carolina has been screwing over teachers and education in general for several years now. They’ve cut salaries, added more unpaid work days and brand new teachers make more than experienced teachers because they stopped increasing salaries. North Carolina has been mistreating teachers for several years now, and it doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon.” Amy Stevens sophomore, animal science
“I think they should be paid more because of their huge responsibility in bringing up America’s youth. That’s a very important role to take on and should be taken very seriously.” Thomas Chapman sophomore, civil engineering
“They are underappreciated, and there should be a reform for the education system in North Carolina to increase the benefits given to teachers. They are an important part in our society, raising the kids (leaders) of tomorrow.”
“I believe that teachers should be paid more for one thing. Teachers don’t receive the respect they deserve. There are often students who interrupt class, and there should be a difference.” Stevie Thompson sophomore, electrical engineering
Carlos Carbajal senior, biological engineering
Stop tipping: raise restaurant prices A
s a new wave of minimum wage laws blows through many major cities in the U.S., some restaurants in those cities are making a stride forward to end the tyrannical tipping culture in America. The New York Times reported Ziyi Mai that a seafood Staff Columnist restaurant in Seattle switched to an all-inclusive menu by raising prices 21 percent and ending tipping. The newspaper cited Bob C. Donegan, the owner of the restaurant, as saying that chefs working in the kitchen were paid about half as much as the wait staff working with customers. Not surprisingly, this income inequality between chefs and wait staff becomes more obvious in high-end restaurants than low-end ones because tipping is not shared with kitchen staff while revenue generated from selling food has to cover other costs where wages of kitchen staff are only parts of it. Tipping is deeply ingrained in the American dining culture, but it seems everyone complains about it. Restaurant owners worry that the gap between kitchen staff and wait staff could discourage chefs and the inconvenience for their bookkeeping. Wait staff might complain that customers do not usually tip as much as they expect. Diners grumble that they do not know how much is enough for tipping. With the minimum wage on the rise, it
might be a good moment for the restaurant industry in major cities to take the lead and end this embarrassing culture. From an economics standpoint, service that brings satisfaction to diners is not worth the tips if customers correctly follow the percentage rules of tipping. Consider a couple having a romantic dinner in a high-end restaurant. First they order an appetizer and entrees worth 80 dollars, and then they order a bottle or wine priced at 40 dollars. When they tip along with the given 20 percent rule, the total bill they pay is 120 dollars plus 24 dollars for tip. 16 dollars out of 24 dollar tips go to the wait staff for bringing dishes from kitchen to the table. The remaining 8 dollars is for the service of opening a bottle of wine. Under the conventional rules, we see almost no competition in this “service” market. Thus, it is hard to measure the true value of services. It is said that diners could tip less if they are not happy with the service, but things like taking dishes out and opening a bottle do not really differentiate the quality of services. The tipping rules actually run into a contradiction: its original intent gives way to social convention. Traditionally, minimum wage law does not apply to tipped employees. According to the Fair Labor Standard Act, an employer of a tipped employee is only required to pay $2.13 an hour in direct wages if that amount plus the tips received equals at least the federal minimum

wage. The employee retains all tips and customarily (and regularly) receives more than $30 a night in tips. If an employee’s tips combined with the employer’s direct wages of at least $2.13 an hour do not equal the federal minimum hourly wage, the employer must make up the difference. Regardless of the controversy surrounding the minimum wage law, the enforcement of the law is particularly difficult. Customers usually pay tips in form of cash, thus it is less likely for employers to know how much tips an employee earns. The randomness of tipping generates difficulties in law enforcement and bookkeeping. Tipping is almost a semi-selfemployment, such that whatever restaurant you work for does not really matter. Since employers pay much less than market wage, they do not have enough incentive to train their wait staff. Given the fact that Americans not only value the taste of food but also services, this semi-self-employment hurts the restaurant, especially high-end restaurants to retain customers and reputations. By eliminating tipping and rising prices to a reasonable level, restaurant owners are able to better manage their daily operations, generate formal hiring procedures and training sessions for employees and provide services to customers the way they want. The only concern is that a price-rising menu will keep customers away, but as more restaurants join the course, diners will adapt to a new dining culture without tipping.

Wearing more clothes won’t eliminate sexual harassment R
ecently, after getting upset about men sexually harassing me while I picked up pizza at my local Domino’s, my parents informed me that, “I should just wear more clothes.” This event showed me how ingrained and unassuming this brand of victim blaming has become. It is culturally Katherine normal for women to Waller feel like they need to Staff Columnist arm themselves with layers of clothes to hide any hints of sexuality, while men don’t even receive a slap on the wrist for their inappropriate treatment of women. “You’re overreacting,” they say. This is the simple and infuriating one-line response I often receive from friends or family when I voice a heated or disgruntled response regarding my various encounters with sexual harassment or discrimination against women. These incidents include being called names such as “sugar” or “sweetheart” by male store attendants, having sexual propositions shouted at me by passerby in cars, being touched or looked at in a way that makes me feel uncomfortable or even ripped off while purchasing something because I was perceived as not knowing any better. I’ve been told more times than I can count that this type of attention should make me feel flattered. Walking into a gas station, a hardware store or a pizza place and feeling uncomfortable because of the way you are looked at or treated is not an experience reserved for women, but also for people of color or individuals who express their “non-standard” religion or sexuality outwardly. The idea that women are “overreacting” to being treated differently than men is, in my experience, commonly accepted, and it is infuriating that people generally trivialize the severity of this injustice. We expect women to brush off these remarks, be the “cool girl” and learn to behave within the constraints of our male-oriented culture. We identify women who express contempt or concern as making themselves victims. This transfer of blame exists for most groups that suffer some sort of social injustice and allows groups of power and prestige to feel comfortable doing the things that disadvantage others but convenience themselves. This victim blaming thus lessens the plight of historically disadvantaged social groups so that the groups of historical power don’t have to feel guilty about not changing their behaviors. Throughout history, the victors have used this victim-blaming mentality to rationalize almost every atrocity committed throughout history. For example, stealing entire continents from its inhabitants was justified by maintaining

see a decrease in teachers. And as we continue to lose these teachers, as people decide because of the pay rates that they do not want to be teachers, we lose an invaluable resource. During the past 10 years, our public schools have gained more than 150,000 students, and we do not have the teachers to teach them. While the cuts to the state budget do save money (any cut will do that), the amount saved does not compensate for the quality lost in education.

that it was not truly a crime because the people from whom they were displacing or enslaving were “savages.” The founders of our own country used similar rationale to justify the enslavement of African Americans. Even today, society frequently categorizes things like class and criminality as hereditary and poverty as the fault of the poor. Female sexual assault victims are often punished more than the men who rape them, and suicide rates are especially high in sexual assault victims. In places like Syria, we witness the murder of rape victims in honor killings. This is why sexual harassment, even in a well-lit room in the middle of the day and in a crowd of people, is still alarming to a lot of women. Just because an encounter may seem completely harmless and doesn’t physically endanger a woman at the time, the idea that a woman’s body can be so nonchalantly objectified, sexualized and even possessed in the simplest everyday encounters is, in itself, terrifying. Sexual harassment is alarmingly normal and so commonplace that we overlook it more often than not. It is a constant intrusion on many people’s most private piece of themselves, their sexuality, and this is not only extremely rude, but also a subtle (or not so subtle) reminder of the subjugation and powerlessness women historically and presently encounter with their own bodies. At college parties, many women feel compelled to tell unwanted suitors that “they have a boyfriend” — this male ownership is often respected in a way that a simple “no” is not. Even more than the feeling of being constantly violated, women are often treated as if their sexuality is the singlemost important facet of their being. I’ve personally discovered that you are automatically not worth someone’s company is you are not being compliant to sexual advances. If you speak up and tell someone that they make you uncomfortable, you run the risk of being perceived as a “b----” or “stuck-up.” A lot of times it’s hard for people to accept when you transfer the discomfort they make you feel back to them. Any time a woman is sexually harassed, she is a victim. Standing up to the subtle manifestations of this misogynistic cultural normalcy of sexual harassment is not overreacting in any way. It is incredibly brave. Standing up to everyday sexual harassment in my experience really goes against acceptable mainstream social behavior for women. Often voicing dissatisfaction from unwanted sexual attention marks a woman as crazy, shrill, dramatic and a “b----.” Society’s unrelenting distaste and refusal to accept women who stand up for themselves and others, particularly in matters of social justice, is what needs to change.

Craft beer community finds hoppiness Gavin Stone Assistant News Editor
Craf t beer enthusiasts showed up in crowds to sample local creations brewed in North Carolina. Tasters got an educational introduction to the science behind their favorite flavors at the Natural Selections beer tasting at the North Carolina Museum of Natural History on Friday. Seventeen breweries set up taps featuring ale and a lager for participants to sample. For a craft beer layman like myself, understanding what was meant by terms like “hoppiness,” “strength” and “smoothness” as it relates to beer was challenging, so I enlisted the help of Sam Loomis, a senior double-majoring in mathematics and physics, and his father, Dave Loomis, a software architect who reviews beer for a friend who is trying to break into the business and has made his own in the past. We made our way to the Crank Arm Brewing Company’s table, which operates in the warehouse district in downtown Raleigh. It was recommended that we try the lager. This one was a shock to my system, because I had never seen beer as dark and as flat as Coca-Cola, and I didn’t know that a beer could taste so strongly of mint chocolate that it almost veered into chilled coffee range. As a more experienced drinker, Loomis found Crank Arm’s lager to be “smooth, not too bitter and not too sweet.” To make it easy for me, Loomis said that the taste, on a scale from Natural Light — being the most basic form of drinkable alcohol — to Guinness, was much closer
to Guinness. In his only attempt at brewing his own beer, the elder Loomis bought a kit for about $30, which allows you to make beer on your stove at home, though it did not end well. Loomis said it was “basically orange juice.” If he were to try again, Loomis said he would buy a recipe and keep trying until he made something respectable. After trying out a few more beers, I wandered into a panel discussion on beer styles with three professional brew masters: Eric Wagner from Brueprint Brewing Co., Derek Garman from Fortnight Brewing Co. and Chris Davis from Big Boss Brewing Co. who talked about some of the general trends they are seeing within the craft brew community. “We’ve seen a lot of IPAs,” Wagner said. IPAs, or India pale ales, are distinguished by being “hoppier” than other beers. “People are shoving hops into everything they can,” Wagner said. Davis said that when he thinks about what he wants to brew, it’s impossible to make everyone happy. “I brew for myself first,” Davis said. “If people like it, that’s great. We look at what people are drinking, and then I’ll go out and buy beer from everywhere — I consider that market research, a tax writeoff — and then we try to make what we want to drink.” Garman joked about the trend of seasonal beers, which are apparently the “Christmas album” of the craft beer world. Garman said that the best advice for hobbyists is to “get your process down by brewing the same recipe over,

and over and over.” One of the breweries represented was NC State’s Sheppard Brewing Lab who, instead of simply giving out samples, gave participants the chance to test their ability to detect differences in yeast by giving them two mystery beers and having them guess which was ale and which was a lager. I guessed correctly
that Beer A was a lager, but only by luck. “We made a blonde recipe once the wort was sterile and hopped post-boil; then we transferred the wort to a different fermentor,” said Thomas Clawson, a graduate student studying food science who was working the Sheppard Brewery table. “One was inoculated with a bohemian
pilsner yeast, and the difference is a fruity taste versus a crisp-clean taste.” There was a big crowd trying too hard to taste the subtle differences in Beer A and Beer B. Within that crowd was Owen Jones, a 2007 alumnus who now works at the new record-breaking beer-hub in downtown Raleigh, the Raleigh Beer Gar-
den. After graduation, Jones moved to Wyoming for work and missed out on the craft beer explosion that took place after the Pop the Cap initiative in 2005 which did away with the 6 percent alcohol cap on beers in North Carolina, allowing a whole new range of styles to break out. “I’m trying to get caught up,” Jones said.
‘Stright Outta Compton’ hits the big screen Straight Outta Compton F. Gary Gray Legendary Pictures
Kevin Schaefer Staff Writer
Much like John Singleton’s “Boyz N The Hood,” “Straight Outta Compton” opens with the sounds of gunfire, dogs barking, police scanners and helicopters. As viewers are swept into the projects in the late 1980s, they witness depictions of police brutality, riots and racial injustice, as young black men are harassed simply for “looking” like gang members. It’s kind of like turning on the news in 2015. The film chronicles the stor y of the famous rap group N.W.A., from their early days in the streets of Los Angeles to their eventual rise as international celebrities. As is the tradition with any biopic, “Straight Out ta Compton” shows us the group’s trials and tribulations, their broken relationships and a tragic, yet perfectly placed, conclusion. Amidst their controversies and encounters with law enforcement, the group nonetheless had a profound impact on hip-hop culture, which the film explores during the course of its two and a half hour runtime. The film’s connection to “Boyz N The Hood” is no doubt intentional, as its main character is rapper and f ilmmaker Ice Cube (played to perfection by his son O’Shea Jackson Jr.), one
of N.W.A.’s most prominent members. Cube made his film debut in “Boyz,” which “Compton” makes several references to. Dr. Dre (Corey Hawkins) and Eric “Eazy-E” Wright (Jason Mitchell) are among the other key members. Over time, we see how they eventually went their separate ways, with Dr. Dre going on to form Death Row Records, but remained connected to each other. We a lso see Paul Giamatti as their overbearing manager, Jerry Heller, another great casting. Just a few months ago, Giamatti played the overbearing manager of another famous musician in the Brian Wilson biopic “Love and Mercy.” Director F. Gar y Gray (“The Italian Job,” “Law Abiding Citizen”) and his team of screenwriters structure the film in such a way that feels genuinely fresh. I tend to avoid biopics for being too watered down (the Jackie Robinson movie “42” comes to mind right away), but with the real Ice Cube serving as a producer of this film, it feels as authentic as one could hope for. One of the best scenes is when Heller stands up to the cops harassing N.W.A. outside their studio. Later in the film, when it is revealed that he ripped them off financially on more than one occasion, he attempts to cover himself by saying that he “took care” of them. You can say what you want about N.W.A.’s profane lyrics or rebellious attitude, but it’s impossible to deny that these guys grew up in a brutally hostile environ-
ment which remained prevalent during their careers. A not he r c r uc i a l mo ment is when Cube tells off a reporter interviewing him who accuses him and his friends of encouraging violence among America’s youth. His response is that art is a ref lection of the world we see, and that the one he experiences is far from glamorous. Yet, while Cube is instrumental to the film, and is probably the most famous member of the group today, Eazy-E provides the heart and soul of “Compton.” Not only does Mitchell give a phenomenal performance, but his character undergoes the most significant arc as well. Given that (spoiler alert) he died of AIDs in 1995, the film is an excellent tribute to him both as an artist and as a person. I’ve read some IMDb user reviews that criticize the film for a combination of its excessive language and violence and for supposedly antagonizing authority figures. To me, this attitude is a bit ignorant. Now, the f ilm does overlook huge controversies surrounding Dr. Dre, which it should’ve included if its intention was to be honest. Nevertheless, this is a Hollywood biopic, not a documentary. It may gloss over important facts, but it does provide audiences with an emotional and sensational experience. The important thing to understand about “Straight Outta Compton” is that it doesn’t ask audiences to root for N.W.A. throughout. What it does is paint a picture of the things they

endured both in the projects and as public figures. It recognizes their own mistakes as much as it shows the
widespread police brutality, which they were victims of. At a time where racial relations remain as fractured
today as they were 30 years ago, this is a film meant for our society to see.

On Aug. 7, NC State alumnus Sandy Roberts, along with others, hosted the second Sir Walter Miler race inspiring budding racers to complete a sub-4 minute mile as well as building a stronger Raleigh community. More than 2,000 fans attended the race at Meredith College.
Sir Walter Miler heads to the finish line Noah Russ Staff Writer
In 1954, Roger Bannister did what most runners believed to be impossible. He became the first man to ever break the elusive barrier of the 4-minute mile. Sixty-one years later, NC State alumnus Sandy Roberts is helping budding runners match Bannister’s accomplishment while also building a stronger Raleigh community. Robert’s collegiate running career ended at NC State in 2012, but Roberts was not ready to hang up his track shoes. During his collegiate career, Roberts had run the mile with times just mere seconds over the 4-minute mark. Roberts found himself as an emerging athlete, in between the status of a very good runner and an elite runner with sponsors. “I was frustrated because I couldn’t get into major track meets because I was an emerging runner,” Roberts said. “So I decided to hold my own meet.” One weekend in August 2013, Roberts and his brother Logan, a track coach at UNCChapel Hill, began to advertise on Facebook for a mile race that would be held the following Wednesday. They announced that Roberts would be going for a sub-4 mile. No one showed interest in joining the race, so Roberts planned to have his brother pace him for the first two laps of the mile and then finish the race alone. He expected just a few close friends and family
to be spectators. On the day of the race, Roberts arrived at the track of Raleigh’s Cardinal Gibbons High School to find 500 people waiting to watch him try to become the first person in North Carolina since 1974 to run a mile in under 4 minutes. Roberts made a strong attempt, but racing alone made an already arduous task even more challenging. Going into the last lap, Roberts was just one second off pace, but he ended the mile in 4 minutes and 6 seconds. “I didn’t break the barrier, but I had a bunch of family and friends come out and support me,” Roberts said. “I knew that something special had happened. We decided we would do it again with more planning.” Roberts, his brother and their friend, Pat Price, began to plan for the following year’s event. They decided that their event needed to be unique, unlike any other track meet. The race needs to celebrate the emerging athlete while also bringing together the Raleigh community. They named the race the Sir Walter Miler after Raleigh’s namesake Sir Walter Raleigh. They began to raise money so they would be able to reward runners who broke the 4-minute barrier. They also made sure that fans would be able to watch directly on the track. “We wanted the fans on the track to watch,” Roberts said. “We wanted them to really feel how fast the mile is. This way the fans get to be more

part of the story, and the athletes get better support.” The first Sir Walter Miler was held in August 2014 and was a tremendous success. More than 1,000 people lined the entire track at Meredith College to watch three men run the mile in under 4 minutes. “We immediately realized that this event was something special,” Roberts said. “This was the beginning of a movement toward a unique kind of track event.” While most track meets just recycle through fans, the Sir Walter Miler builds new running fans. Because
the event mainly focuses on local Raleigh runners and because the race holds great pre and post-race parties at the Raleigh Brewing Company, many non-runners are drawn toward the race. “A big thing about Raleigh is that we don’t recycle track and field fans,” Logan Roberts said. “We build new ones.” The 2015 edition of the Sir Walter Miler was held on Aug. 7 at Meredith College. More than 2,000 fans attended the race. Five men were able to break the 4-minute mark and three women were able to break the 4 minute
and 30 second mark. One of the runners to break the barrier was Brandon Hudgins, who suffers from Wegener’s Granulomatosis, a rare autoimmune disease. Hudgins had always dreamed of running a sub-4 mile but was often discouraged because of the effect the disease had on his ability to train. The discouragement even caused Hudgins to give up on track two different times. However, at the Sir Walter Miler, Hudgins fulfilled his dream running a 3 minute and 59 second mile. While Roberts still cannot boast his own sub-4 mile,
he enjoys enabling runners like Hudgins to fulfill their dreams. Since his failed attempt in 2013, he has helped eight developing athletes run their first sub-4 miles, and he has helped a local Raleigh event gain national exposure. However, Roberts is still planning to get a sub4 mile beside his own name. “I’ve been on the brink so long,” Roberts said. “But If I’m honest, it just creates more motivation. It’s a huge barrier I want to conquer. It’s awesome to host the event, but now I want to get that barrier for myself. I want 3:59 beside my name.”

standing. It’s a good group and they add a lot to our team.” Despite not ma k ing it through the entire match, Wootten, a San Diego native, was upbeat about her first regular season collegiate match. “I did have a lot of action today,” said Wootten to NC State athletics. “But it was nice. It’s better having a bunch of action than no action at all. I had a really good time playing out there and I’m really excited to get the season rolling. I’m confident about it.” S ophomore de fe n si ve midf ielder Ca i ly n Boch nearly scored the winner for the Pack against the 10t h-seeded Waves just before the end of regular time, but the referee ruled her headed attempt did not cross the line. Although the Pack would lose the match in overtime, Santoro felt the team
likely see the majority of his time as the slot receiver due to his athleticism, versatility and the loaded depth at the running back position. Redshirt freshman quarterback Jalan McClendon will serve as redshirt senior quarterback Jacoby Brissett’s primary backup this season after being redshirted last year. With Brissett graduating after this season, McClendon is the early favorite to take over the reins once he leaves. “We need him to be ready to be our starter, first and foremost. Every backup is one play away from having the entire team depend on him,” Doeren said. “He needs to prepare as if Jacoby can’t play, like he is the starter. If he does that this year, the transition won’t be as hard next year. If he sits back, it will be very tough on him.

Wolfpack takes shape at scrimmage
Joe Ochoa
Daniel Lacy
Staff Writer
Assistant Sports Editor
Former NC State Wolfpack quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Philip Rivers agreed to new contract extensions from the Seattle Seahawks and the San Diego Chargers, respectively, during the summer. The two quarterbacks are the most recent players at their position to receive contract extensions during the 2015 offseason, in which quarterbacks Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers and Ryan Tannehill of the Miami Dolphins also received extensions earlier in the offseason. Wilson, who was entering the final year of his rookie contract, is estimated to make $87 million, with $60 million guaranteed during the next four seasons according to SB Nation. This gives him the secondhighest guaranteed money among active quarterbacks. Wilson made news earlier in the offseason when his agent, Mark Rodgers, was attempting to get Russell Wilson a fully guaranteed contract, which has never been done with a quarterback in the NFL to date, according to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport. The Richmond, Virginia native played for NC State for three seasons between 2008-2010. Wilson amassed a total of 76 passing touchdowns and 17 rushing touchdowns while playing in Raleigh. However, Wilson went on to finish his collegiate career with the Wisconsin Badgers. Since leaving NC State, Wilson has become one the most recognizable faces of the NFL. He has been to the playoffs each of his three seasons with the Seahawks, including two Super Bowl appearances, one of which was a 43-8 beat down of the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII. Rivers, who has spent his entire 12year career with the Chargers, will be with the team until 2019 and will be scheduled to make $84 million with $65 million guaranteed during that span, according to SB Nation. The deal will make River’s contract one of the most lucrative for a player at his position. Rivers is one of the best players to play for the Wolfpack; he was a starter all four seasons of his college career and is the Wolfpack’s all-time leader in touchdowns and is listed as 10th on the NCAA all-time passing yards list, per Sports Reference. Rivers has also been a stalwart for the Chargers. The Decatur, Alabama native is second all-time in team passing yards and trails Dan Fouts as the franchise’s career leader in passing touchdowns. Despite his success, the Chargers have only made one AFC championship game during Rivers’ tenure with the Chargers With these deals, the Chargers and Seahawks have secured long-term answers for a position that can make or break teams vying for a championship for the next four years.
A little less than two weeks before its first game, the NC State football team had a closed scrimmage limited to invites in Carter Finley Stadium this past Saturday in preparation for the start of the season. According to head coach Dave Doeren, the scrimmage was light contact with no tackling. This was
largely due to the fact that they want to minimize injury risk as much as possible before the season starts. Considering the fact that players are currently dropping like flies in the NFL due to injury, it is hard to argue with his decision. Doeren also mentioned that the team spent a numerous amount of time with the two-minute drill and special teams work. The Wolfpack has plenty of options at kick return-
er, including junior wide receiver Bra’Lon Cherry, junior running back Matt Dayes, redshirt freshman wide receiver Maurice Trowell and freshman wide receiver/running back Nyheim Hines. “Nyheim is an electric guy back there who we feel good about,” Doeren said. “We need to get him on offense a little bit to get the butterflies out until we have him returning kicks, but ultimately, we’d love for
him to be the guy. We have four guys we can put back there, but he gives us something back there we haven’t had in a while.” Hines had a particularly good day, scoring a rushing touchdown and adding a handful of catches during the two-minute drill. The Garner, North Carolina native played running back in high school, but will

However, with two seasoned veterans already in competition for the spot and one promising freshman on the rise, the Wolfpack’s position battle is not a bad problem to have. During State’s 2014 campaign, senior Tanna Aljoe and junior Maggie Speaks split time as the starting setter. Aljoe, a transfer from San Diego State, was the Pack’s consistent starter in 2013 but was challenged by the younger Speaks the following year. Prior to the team’s scrimmage Saturday at Broughton High School, head coach Bryan Bunn said the position was still “wide open,” with the final decision likely not coming until after the team’s first invitational tournaments. Though there is no clear favorite in the Wolfpack’s most-heated position battle, both Aljoe and Speaks have certain areas of the game in which they excel. Throughout her time with NC State, Aljoe has displayed a high level of leadership. One of the most vocal players on the court, the senior has consistently encouraged her team during games, even when sidelined. Now a captain, the Grapevine, Texas native has proved to be a role model for the younger members of the Pack. Aljoe said instilling an aura of confidence in her teammates is her top priority as a leader on the team. “Confidence is a big key in the game of volleyball,” Aljoe said. “The game happens so fast, and you have to go to the next point right away, and if you don’t have that confidence that you’re going to get that next pass or next kill, it’s going to be brutal.” Aside from being a vocal presence, Aljoe also makes an impact on the defensive end of the court. Last season, she was fourth on the team in digs per set with 1.86, the highest among nondefensive specialists. On the other hand, Speaks is a consistent offensive threat for the Wolfpack, as she played middle blocker in high school. The Camden, South Carolina native totaled more than 100 kills last season, averaging out to 1.24 per set. “Offensively, [Speaks is] a threat at the net because she’s a good size setter, so teams have to be aware that she’s in the front row,” Bunn said. The junior’s signature move is a dump shot at the net on the team’s second hit, usually when she is setting the ball for a teammate. Speaks said it’s a great option to stay aggressive offensively and keep the defense guessing. “If I see there’s no blocker there and it’s a good

Senior setter Tanna Aljoe sets the ball for sophomore middle blocker Kaitlyn Kearney at the Wolfpack Challenge Intrasquad Scrimmage at Broughton High School Saturday. Aljoe finished with 20 assists on the night, while Kearney led the Wolfpack with 16 kills across the four-set scrimmage. The red NC State team defeated the white NC State team 3-1.
pass, I’ll dump it,” Speaks said. “It really keeps the blocker on the other side on their feet, because they never know if I’m going to set it or dump it.” While it seemed like Aljoe and Speaks would be the Pack’s only options at setter this season, the duo may have some unexpected competition, as freshman Becky Porter made a splash at the team’s scrimmage Saturday. Porter held her own while playing on the same team as Aljoe, and Bunn said he expects her to rev up the competition for the starting job. “Becky will push for the spot,” Bunn said. “She’s a freshman, so she’s got a lot to learn,
but she’s doing a great job.” Though the three will be battling for the starting job for the 2015 season, Aljoe said she and Speaks have been very supportive of one another in practice as veterans of the team. “Maggie and I are having a lot of fun working together,” Aljoe said. “Having three setters, it keeps it very competitive. I’ve tried my best to be a mentor and teach Becky as much as I know.” With three solid options to run his offense this season, Bunn will be able to focus his energy on preparing his team to build on its success from the past few seasons.
WOMEN’S SOCCER
NC State suffers pair of defeats in San Diego Jordan Beck Sports Editor
The NC State women’s soccer team returns to Raleigh having narrowly lost its first two matches of the season against San Diego and No. 10 Pepperdine over the weekend. After suffering an ACL injury a year ago, redshirt sophomore Jackie Stengel made her first appearance and gave the Wolfpack (0-2-0) a 1-0 lead against San Diego (1-1-0) on Friday, but the team gave up two heartbreaking goals
to drop the season opener 2-1. On Sunday, NC State (0-2-0) battled a top-10 program in Pepperdine (2-0-0) into overtime and nearly scored a winner, but the Waves eventually triumphed 1-0. “I’m proud of the girls,” said head coach Tim Santoro after Sunday’s match.“To go through what we went through with our travel day coming out on Thursday and to play two games against two top programs as tight as we did, and we probably deserved at least one result and maybe could’ve grinded out a couple...I’m proud of them.
The next step we have to take is winning games and that’s the hardest step to take.” The Wolfpack made the cross country trip to San Diego for the Torero Classic last week, but the team saw travel plans thrown off on Thursday, and the group had limited time to acclimate and prepare for its first match on Friday. Despite t hat l i m ited t i me, the Pack came out on fire. Four freshmen started the match, with defender Ella Bonner, left back Hannah Keogh, midfielder Taylor Porter and forward Maxine Black-
wood all getting the nod from Santoro. Additionally, freshman Crystal Cordova and senior Shannon Cleaver, who has struggled with injuries her whole career, made their NC State debuts. The big news, however, was the return of Stengel. In her first season with the Pack, she finished as the team’s leading scorer (9) and was named to both the All-ACC third team and All-ACC freshmen team. Her goal just before halftime saw her hold off multiple defenders before shooting low past the
keeper, and her return is a big boost for a team that struggled in front of goal last season and lost 2014’s leading scorer, Kayla Saager, who transferred. Against Pepperdine on Sunday, freshman goalkeeper Sydney Wootten made her debut and started the match. She made seven saves before suffering a collision in the 86th minute and getting subbed off. “Syd was outstanding,” Santoro said. “All the freshmen were out-
