Report finds North Carolina suicides have doubled since 2010
In an annual review of child deaths in the state of North Carolina, a child safety panel found that the number of youth suicides have increased by more than one third between 2013 and 2014 and has doubled since the start of the decade. In 2014, 46 children died by suicide, compared to the 23 that died by suicide in 2010. A new task force committee will be created in light of the findings and will begin meeting in February. NC Child, a lobbying group for children’s issues, accredits the increase in suicides to high anxiety, mental illness, bullying and negative family situations. SOURCE: WRAL
In an interview with ESPN, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski announced he will step down as USA’s national coach after the next Olympics. However, he said he still wants to be involved with the team in a non-coaching way. He has served as the head coach for 10 years and has led the team to winning gold in both the 2008 and 2012 Olympics. He said he plans to announce his successor before the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games next summer. SOURCE: News & Observer

Adam Riess, a Nobel Prize winning physicist, delivers his L.H. Thomas Lecture on “Supernovae and the Discovery of the Accelerating Universe” in Riddick Hall Monday.
Mystery of dark energy eludes scientists, Nobel Laureate says Ravi K. Chittilla Contributor
Astrophysicist and Nobel Laureate Adam Riess says the universe is a lot like a loaf of raisin bread baking in the oven. “The galaxies are kind of like the raisins, and as the loaf rises, the raisins, which are far apart to begin with, rush apart even faster,” Reiss told a group of more than 100 people including physics students, faculty members and distinguished guests at
the 2015 L.H. Thomas Lecture in Riddick Hall Monday afternoon. “It doesn’t matter where you are in this loaf; everything looks like it’s moving away from everything else.” Riess, who is a researcher at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, and a professor at Johns Hopkins University was one of the recipients of the 2011 Nobel Prize in physics for the discovery that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. Before his and his colleagues’ dis-
covery, many scientists had posited the rate at which the universe was expanding was decreasing. Scientists have now established that the universe is expanding at a rate 20 percent faster than it was 5 billion years ago, Reiss said. Edwin Hubble first demonstrated that the universe was expanding in 1929 by showing that galaxies outside the Milky Way, in which earth’s solar system resides, were moving away

Nine student finalists will compete at Campout Friday at 9 p.m. for the chance to open for Tori Kelly at the Homecoming Concert. The winner will be decided by a panel of judges as well as audience votes. The finalists who will be performing are Yelynn Ho, Jordan Williams, Kerry Long, Aaron Alejandro, Acappology, Ronin Riz, Oren Baily, Taylor Quinn and Ladies in Red. “This competition will be big, I can promise you that,” said Jeremy Mason, leisure and recreation chair for the Union Activities Board. “It’s going to be run very much like ‘America’s Got Talent.’ They are really some of the most talented students here at NC State.” The competition is part of Campout, an annual event hosted by Student Government, Union Activities Board, Inter-Residence Council, University Recreation, University Athletics and Campus Enterprises. Students who participate in Campout will spend the night at Miller Fields and receive six loyalty points for basketball games. This year, more than 1,500 people are expected to participate. Participants are encouraged to arrive early for a free T-shirt and meet members of the men’s and women’s basketball teams, according to Sabrina Baker, a sophomore studying fashion textile management and a member of Student Government Traditions. Baker also said there will be more activities, events and programming than previous years. There will be a dunk tank, black light golf, a scavenger hunt and more. Deadline to register for Campout is Wednesday.

On Oct. 14, a protest was held in front of the Governor’s Mansion. Students, workers and community members came out to voice their opinions of House Bill 318.
HB 318: McCrory has 10 days Caroline Lafave Correspondent
On Sept. 29, House Bill 318, also known as the ‘Protect North Carolina Workers Act,’ was ratified. On the 30th, it was presented to Gov. Pat McCrory and left to his discretion for 30 days. McCrory’s deadline is drawing near. He has until Oct. 30 to make a decision. It needs to be either signed into law or vetoed and sent back to the
House of Representatives. What exactly is the bill? Looking at the skeleton of HB 318, it focuses on how an individual can be legally employed in North Carolina. It also increases the number of employees required to use E-Verify for work authorization. According to the NC Department of Labor, E-Verify is an online system that allows employees to electronically verify the employment of newly hired employees. The system is jointly
operated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration. The bill establishes seven legal forms of official identification: • A pay stub with the payee’s address • A utility bill showing the address of the applicant-payor • A contract for an apartment, house, modular unit or man-

Raleigh residents can voice opinions about the future of Hillsborough Street and Cameron Village by contributing to the development of a small area plan. The next wave of development for Hillsborough Street and Cameron Village is underway, and NC State students and Raleigh residents can view a small area plan of the project and offer feedback at the public meetings held Wed. Oct. 28 and Thurs. Oct. 29. The meeting Wednesday will be held in Talley Student Union in the Mountains Ba llroom from 7 to 9 p.m. The Thursday meeting will be held at Pullen Arts Center from 7:30 to 9 p.m. The Cit y of Ra leigh hired three consulting companies to guide the planning process : Stantec specializes in the transportation aspect of the plan; Lord Aeck Sargent specializes in general planning; and Noell Consulting Group focuses on market analysis. Collectively, the city of Ra-
leigh paid the consulting groups $310,000 for work on the project. The city has been planning the development since last year. Raleigh planner Bynum Walter said the groups’ combined expertise will help address how and where Hillsborough Street and Cameron Village connect. The plan also includes the addressing of street connections, encouraging development, recommendations for zoning and also improvements for pedestrian and land use. Hillsborough Street is already seeing new additions. Stanhope Apartments opened this August and the Aloft Raleigh hotel and restaurant opened earlier this month. Ra leig h Cit y Cou nci l ma n Russ Stephenson said the small area plan will establish realistic expectations for the area’s growth, which will help developers and local residents avoid future conf licts.

News Editor
Voting to select the 2015 Leader of the Pack begins Monday, Oct. 26 at 8 a.m. and goes until Tuesday, Oct. 27 at 8 p.m. The winner will be announced at the Homecoming game Saturday, Oct. 31. Here are are the candidates:
ALLYSA CLAGETT, senior studying psychology
LINDSEY KUNZ, junior studying biological sciences
“I’ve learned how I can be a voice for the voiceless and how I can be an advocate. Whether it’s not tolerating an offensive or inappropriate joke, or just simply having the courage to say, ‘hey that’s not cool; that’s not what NC State stands for,’ I have learned to embed service and leadership into my everyday life.”
“I am committed to the success of other students here at NC State. Through my different leadership roles on campus, I have been able to help other students discover their passions and choose the paths that will help them accomplish their goals.”
Favorite part about NC State: “The many long-standing traditions that unite the students (past, present and future) as one ... there is truly something special about the Wolfpack Community and the way our traditions bring our community together.”
Favorite part about NC State: “Despite the vast size of the student body, it is possible to find your place in the Wolfpack community. I absolutely consider NC State my home, and I desire for all students to feel that same sense of belonging.”
ASHLE PAGE, senior studying polymer and color
MIKAYLA RALEIGH, senior studying business
chemistry
administration
“I have taken every opportunity possible to be an active leader in activities that impact the Wolfpack at home and contribute to serving others globally.”
“My daily mission to give back to the school and make sure that I leave NC State and the surrounding community a better place than I found it ... I view my time at State with the mentality that it’s not about the opportunities I can take advantage of, but rather the opportunities that I can create for others.”
Favorite part about NC State: “Think and Do.” At NC State, we actively put knowledge into practice through research, leadership and service in order to impact the world around us.”

ufactured home with a North Carolina address signed by the applicant • A receipt for personal property taxes paid • A receipt for real property taxes paid to a North Carolina locality • A current automobile insurance policy issued to the applicant and showing the applicant’s address • A monthly or quarterly financial statement from a North Carolina regulated financial institution The bill excludes documents provided by foreign consulates or embassies. Any worker found without one of the acceptable forms of identification can then be alerted to local law enforcement and/or the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). HB 318 also forbids local governments or law enforcement agencies from creating policies or ordinances to allow the acceptance of documents not listed within the bill. In addition, the bill prohibits the counties and cities of North Carolina from adopting sanctuary ordinances. These ordinances, also known as Sanctuary City Policies, essentially limit the extent to which law enforcement will go to assist the federal government with immigration issues. According to CNN, more than 200 local and state governments have adopted these policies and do not honor ICE requests for detention. Within the bill, there is a provision that would prohibit waivers for federally timelimited food assistance. This would impact unemployed individuals without dependents, restricting access to food stamps. The bill is unpopular with some. The North Carolina
State AFL-CIO, the largest association of local unions and union councils in the state, attacked the bill, calling it the “Abuse NC Workers Act.” The association claims that the HB 318 targets immigrants who carry foreign IDs, makes it harder for police to protect the public and makes it easier for employers to exploit immigrants. Proponents of the bill, such as the Federation for American Immigration Reform, claim that it prevents wage depression, which is due to the willingness of undocumented workers to work for lower pay. The federation said that the bill would also help employers comply with federal laws. What does it mean for North Carolina? On Oct. 14, a protest was held in front of the Governor’s Mansion. Students, workers and community members came out to voice their opinions of HB 318. “I think this bill is framed as being something good for the state, but in actuality it’s hindering the livelihood and the ability of people to feel safe in this state,” said José Cisneros, a protestor and a junior at UNCChapel Hill studying history. “Personally, I am an undocumented immigrant, but I have some form of legal protection through DACA, for childhood arrivals. But my parents don’t have any sort of legal protection, their driver’s licenses are expired. So every day they drive, they could get stopped, get a citation and, in worst case, they could be investigated and get sent to ICE directly. Any kind of documentation that they have is not valid, now including their consular ID. This is the main problem with this bill: It invalidates the use of consular IDs as a legal form if identification.” Yerson Padilla, a protestor and a junior at NC State studying women’s and gender studies and political science, said that the bill is riddled with problems.
“It’s trying to protect the jobs that immigrants ‘steal’ and that is really damaging,” Padilla said. “Personally, I am not affected by this bill because of my legal status, but I have friends and fraternity brothers who struggle. Their families struggle, and struggle to provide for themselves. We’re creating more barriers to add to the institutional relationship between immigrants and the rest of the population. It just goes to show how antiimmigrant North Carolina is, and do we really want to be perceived in that way?” Advocacy and Organizing Director of Student Action with Farmworkers Nadeen Bir-Zaslow said she has been an active opponent of the bill because of the impacts it will have on the people of North Carolina. “What I am afraid of if this bill passes is a North Carolina where immigrants who contribute so much are afraid to call the police to report a crime, and an atmosphere where people may not be able to register their kids in schools or even get a library book because they don’t have a recognized form of identification,” Bir-Zaslow said. “When a bill becomes a law there is gray area on how it is institutionalized. That is where advocates have to step up and educate the community on what their rights are, and also educate governments on if they are overstepping the rights of the community members.” Starting today, McCrory has 10 days until he must sign or veto HB 318. If he does nothing, it will, by default, be given to the Secretary of State Elaine Marshall and become law.

During the game, the Frisbee flew into a nearby tree and got stuck on a branch. Donald tried to make the Frisbee fall out of the tree by throwing his shoe at it and got his shoe stuck on a branch as well.

A nice cup of tea I
t seems that the glorious cold weather has finally beaten away the intolerable summer heat, and this can mean only Daniel Root one thing: It is Staff Columnist time to enjoy hot beverages. In the United States, coffee is the preferred drink, but throughout the world, there is a different winner. Tea is the second-most popular drink in the world, second only to water. Tea is becoming more common in America, but we are still not a major tea-consuming nation on the scale of Great Britain. The British drink 165 million cups of tea per day. That means that the average Briton drinks more than two cups of tea every day. Tea has myriad health benefits, but more importantly, it is refreshing. The old saying in Britain is
that “tea revives the world.” James Boswell, the Scottish author and lawyer, said, “I am so fond of tea that I could write a whole dissertation on its virtues. It comforts and enlivens without the risks attendant on spirituous liquors. Gentle herb! Let the florid grape yield to thee. Thy soft influence is a more safe inspirer of social joy.” And the poet William Cowper described tea as “the cups that cheer but not inebriate.” But it was not the goodness of tea, but rather the difficulty in making it that prompted the composition of one of the greatest odes to tea. Eric Blair, better known by his penname George Orwell, is perhaps best-known as a novelist, but he was first and foremost an essayist. In 1946, the ignorance of the majority vis-à-vis the proper
way to make this wonderful drink prompted Orwell to write his essay, “A Nice Cup of Tea.” Orwell writes, “If you look up ‘tea’ in the finest cookery book that comes to hand you will probably find that it is unmentioned; or at most you will find a few lines of sketchy instructions which give no ruling on several of the most important points.” I, too, am frustrated. I love tea, but I have yet to find a coffee shop that serves suitable tea. You can get tea at any Starbucks or Dunkin’ Donuts, but it is not half as good as the tea I brew at home. Orwell continues, “When I look through my own recipe for the perfect cup of tea, I find no fewer than 11… rules, all of which I regard as golden.” Perhaps a careful study of these golden rules can help elucidate

what the problem is with coffee shop tea. Coffee shops meet many of the rules. They typically use Indian or Ceylonese tea, such as English Breakfast Tea, which is a blend of teas from India — Ceylon and Assam. They make tea in small quantities. They do not warm the cup before brewing, but I do not think that makes much of a difference. They brew the tea strong, and they use a cylindrical cup. And several of the rules (stir the tea, milk not cream, milk last and no sugar) are up to the customer. This leaves but two possible reasons for the subpar tea at coffee shops. Orwell says that “the tea should be put straight into the pot. No strainers, muslin bags or other devices to imprison the tea.” Here
the coffee shops are guilty, as they all use bagged tea. However, this cannot be the cause. Loose-leaf tea is preferable, as it does make a noticeably better brew, but I have had many good cups of bagged tea. Orwell also says that “the water should be actually boiling at the moment of impact.” Here is the culprit. The water used to brew the tea is indeed very hot, but it is not boiling. Typically coffee shops use hot water that has been sitting in an urn for hours. Unfortunately, this is not a problem with a simple solution. There is no practical way to boil water for every cup of tea. I am afraid that tea lovers everywhere will have to stick with homebrewed tea. As they say, “When in Rome …” When in a coffee shop, buy coffee.
Chris Rey: the real-life Leslie Knope
ast October, I had the tremendous honor of meeting one of the most passionate public servants in Connor the country, Bolinder Spring Lake Correspondent Mayor Chris Rey, a man for whom I’ll be voting in 2016 when he hopes to displace incumbent Richard Burr from his North Carolina seat in the U.S. Senate. When I first met Mayor Rey, we were on a joint panel of community leaders, young and adult, to raise awareness of and stop youth violence in Fayetteville, North Carolina, a city with one of the highest crime rates in the country. At the end of the night, with the charisma of a man born and shaped to lead and serve, Rey told me, personally, that I would change the world; I believed him. Whatever quality Rey saw in me, he silently, proudly displayed in himself. The next time I found myself in the same room as Rey, he was behind the podium on the same stage where, seven years earlier, I saw a young senator Obama from Illinois speak during his presidential campaign before a crowd of thousands. Donned in the ceremonial academic robes, Rey was giving the commencement speech at my sister’s community college graduation. The booming quote that made headlines was, “It will be this generation of graduates that will transform the nation.” Education is one of the mayor’s proudest causes; in one of the worst states for teachers in the country. Rey wants to bring
back the nationally renowned Teaching Fellows Program, which was axed by the North Carolina General Assembly in 2011. In fact, he serves on the board of the Public School Forum of North Carolina, the very organization that created the program. In 2011, Rey took the reins of Spring Lake and, working with local businesses, spearheaded multimillion dollar developments in the city while the nation was still recovering from the Great Recession of 2008. Unemployment steadily fell from 10 percent when Mayor Rey was elected to 7.6 percent in 2014. In a time when our economy is finally starting to pick up again, we the people need to vote for growth. Richard Burr, on the other hand, has voted against every single piece of economic recovery or stimulus legislation that has come before him since the beginning of his congressional career over two decades ago. As for the men and women in our armed forces, Chris Rey, a veteran himself, supports service members more than just a yellow “support our troops” car magnet. Rey has helped veterans after their time in military service, working to help them transition back into civilian life and his experience guarantees a wisdom in military decisions, something that cannot be said of career politicians. Finally, on one of the biggest issues the country is facing today, cyber security. This issue may bring up sour memories of the infamous Stop Online
Piracy Act (SOPA), Protect IP Act of 2011 (PIPA), Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) and the Cybersecurity Information and Sharing Act of 2015 (CISA). All of these pieces of legislation have received criticism for being too broad and often seeming as though they were written by old men who do not understand the internet. That’s because they are. Richard Burr himself even sponsored CISA, the latest horrendous piece of legislation that attempts to sacrifice freedom for security in a domain that few members of Congress actually understand, with implications that could legalize spying on US citizens’ personal data, messages and internet history. The Senate desperately needs someone who knows the language, the impact and the implications of modern cyber security as well as someone who can guarantee security without wildly sacrificing privacy with broad, overreaching legislation. Thirty-eight-year-old Chris Rey can deliver with his seven years of experience in the field. So, when the North Carolina general election is held on Nov. 8, 2016, I’ll be voting for a candidate who supports education, veterans and economic growth; a candidate who actually knows what he’s talking about when it comes to cyber security; a candidate who has personally inspired me and thousands of other students in my hometown and the only candidate I’ve ever known whom I could consider a real-life Leslie Knope, Mayor Chris Rey.
The pros and cons of internet reading T
he most important technological invention from the end of 20th century is the Internet. Today, almost all of our Ahbishek communication reKaradkar lies on the Internet. Correspondent No technology has influenced us as much as the Internet. It spreads across various domains such as education, research, e-commerce, business, entertainment and politics. In 1993, only 1 percent of the information flow was through the Internet. Today, more than 97 percent of the information flow is dominated by it. The world’s first printing press was started by Johannes Gutenberg in Germany. This event led to the beginning of the first information revolution in the world. Through the printing of books, people easily gained knowledge, and this led to an awakening in
society. But still, many people had to order books from faraway places to read. Great men have undergone severe hardships in order to read books. Abraham Lincoln, who was an avid reader, used to travel to different places to read books in order to satiate his hunger for gaining knowledge. Great writers like H.G. Wells experienced great difficulties during childhood and could not afford to buy books. The learning process was very difficult back in those days, and everyone did not have equal opportunities to become educated. In some countries like India, there was a time when society was divided into sections, and only a particular section had the right to read and gain knowledge. The process of gaining information was very individualized and lacked the transfer of knowledge among masses. Editor-in-Chief Kaitlin Montgomery technician-editor@ncsu.edu

But today, the availability of the Internet has completely transformed the way reading has been done for centuries. Anyone with Internet access can read books online, download and upload new books, read on Wikipedia and search on Google for facts and latest information. As said by Harry Kroto, 1996 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, “The truth is that Google, YouTube and Wikipedia have revolutionized information access in the world.” He stated that Google has “revolutionized the search engine” and that Wikipedia became a “collection of everyone’s interests that has wiped out the encyclopedia almost overnight.” Today, any information can be obtained at the click of a mouse. And we often consume the information at the same pace at which the fiber optic delivers into us. We must take into Sports Editor Jordan Beck

account that the sources from which we read are not always authentic. But the main problem lies with the way we read the information by searching on the internet. Many academicians complain that even though today’s generation is very fortunate to have search engines for any information they want, they often do not read it deeply and thoroughly. It is observed that we only restrict ourselves to facts and end results in reading content. For example, in a calculus course, students can easily find integral tables on the Internet with predetermined derivations. But very few students show the curiosity to understand the derivations or even to solve them. Most of them just scroll down to the end result, which undermines the learning process. Students use Wolfram Alpha to solve their problems.

But again, the students’ problemsolving skills are hampered, as they do not do it on their own. Earlier, using paper books, students had to solve all the problems and read through the entire book to truly understand it. But the present generation lacks the patience to read the content for hours. Our generation is blessed with a wonderful resource that was never available before. However, the best learning process is that used by past scientists, professors, writers and scholars who perused the entire content of textbooks thoughtfully and spent enough time reading information that it got into their nerves. Whatever be the source, the essence of learning and gaining knowledge is understanding the contents and making it simpler and better for all of us to understand.

Edgy teen writes ‘f--- the police,’ bad things happen
O
n Thursday at about 11:15 a.m., a white male, 5-foot-7, was seen leaving the Free Expression Tunnel in a rush, spray paint in Connor hand. Investigation Bolinder revealed a horrific Correspondent discovery: freshly painted on the wall read an expression as profane as it is original, “F--- the police.” This is the first time in known history that anyone has had the audacity, nay, the courage, to write profanity in the Free Expression Tunnel. One student gave her flustered response. “I just, I don’t know how to cope with this news,” said Ange Merke, a sophomore studying criminal justice. “As a criminal justice major, I’m shocked to say the least. I think I’m going to change to something less dangerous, something that has more respect to it, like the IRS, you know? Nobody writes ‘F--- the IRS’ in spray paint.” She explained that she did not expect being a police officer to be such a dangerous job, and she had no idea how many groups target police for hate crimes such as this. Taelor (pronounced “Tyler”) Aubrey shared a different perspective. “It’s about time someone stood up to the Man,” Aubrey said. Aubrey declined to explain who “the Man” is. When asked again, he said, “You know. The Man. Them. We’re tired of being victimized.” When pressed about who he meant by “we,” Aubrey explained the devastating story. “My cousin was arrested for carrying four ounces of weed, a Glock and a list of people to whom he was planning on distributing the weed, and they locked him up on trumped-up charges,” Aubrey said. Weed is a narcotic better known as “cannabis,” or its street name, “crank.” Copycats have also been found in

the Free Expression Tunnel graffitiing their own curse words. Authorities are shaken by young adults aged 18–21 spray painting bad words and genitalia, admitting that they have no power to stop them. In an official release by NC State University Police, the department responded, “They’re right. We can’t even do anything. F--- us,” before declaring their official resignation as a police force. University police suspect the vandalism may have been caused by a number of prominent students involved with NC State’s chapter of
“Black Lives Matter” who have gotten into trouble for virulent anti-police raving before. However, it is noteworthy that none of them stand at exactly 5-foot-7. In April, when an unarmed black man was shot 19 times by a white police officer who had to stop and reload before continuing to shoot in that one city — you know the one — members of “Black Lives Matter” were arrested and brutally beaten for lobbying in the Brickyard, shouting inflammatory chants such as, “Please don’t shoot us 19 times,” and, “Seriously, these kinds
of protests should not be a cliché at this point.” NC State Anarchists have spoken out in favor of the vandalism, saying they do not take credit for the acts but applaud whoever is responsible. The Anarchist Club has received criticism in the past for calling for the death of all law enforcement and first responders, including firefighters and EMS, whom the club refers to as “fascists,” and for taking responsibility for the destruction of a University Police Segway last spring, costing the department more than $12 in dam-
ages. Investigators, who shall remain anonymous, do not suspect the white members of the Anarchy Club, however, citing the fact that they’re good kids, just a little misguided. One thing is for sure, though — whoever is perpetrating these heinous acts is totally cool. Like, seriously, that’s so cool and edgy. Mom lives in Apex, she can’t tell me what to do. She can’t stop me from writing swears, I’m in college, I’m an adult now. I can do whatever I want. She can’t even ground me, f--- you mom, f--- the police!

t’s almost that time of the semester again when students have their laptops open in the middle of class with a shaking finger Missy hovering over the Furman mouse. Your eyes are Correspondent glued on the second hand ticking closer and closer to that time you had highlighted and circled four times on your desk calendar, the time for which you set two alarms on your cell phone. It is more stressful than the midterms you took last week; you know that your whole career, and entire future for that matter, depend on how quickly you can click “enroll” compared to everyone else. It would be much easier to focus without all the honors and scholars kids watching; to their enjoyment,
Dear Mr. Obama (or Osama, depending on who you ask) I usually don’t write any letters because I think that writing is invented by the devil and it doesn’t accomplish anything good, but I just saw that speech you made about that bull that America needs more gun rules and regulations and I just had to pick up my crayon and start writing because I haven’t got anything but bad words for you. Just because some college students keep getting shot up, doesn’t mean you have any right to take our guns! There’s no logic behind that at all. Why would fewer guns be equal to less gun violence? It just doesn’t add up. I think I know more about this country than you, because you
all the other students suffer through a grueling experience that they will never have to understand with their early enrollment perks. But when you take into account all the preparation time you put into making your amazing-no-8-a.m.sor-classes-on-Fridays masterpiece, you’d do anything to turn all those blue squares of anticipation into green blocks of happiness. After all, if your schedule isn’t exactly how you want it at the second you hit “enroll,” it never will be. Hardly anyone is going to swap and drop their classes during the entire two months before the actual First Day of Classes. And the waitlist is the biggest tease of all. Here, you can kind of have the class for now. Ha, as if that will ever work
obviously haven’t read the Constitution of our great America. Let me do some quoting for you, because I think that facts speak for themselves. The 2nd Amendment: “A wellregulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” You read that?! Not be infringed, at all. This thing was written back in the times of our forefathers and you better believe it still works perfect for today’s times! It’s not like the year 1791 was any different than 2015. We haven’t changed much from then to now. That amendment there was written to make sure Americans during that time did have any guns they wanted to hunt and protect
out. Rate My Professors might as well be renamed “Water” because that’s how much you need it to plan a schedule you can actually survive next semester. What better way is there to get the inside scoop than from the students willing to tell you just how amazing or awful that professor was? Even if the comments about the professor are for a different course they taught in the past, you should take them into consideration. Maybe the course was a much higher level. Maybe that professor taught the course at a different university. Regardless, once you see “tough grader” and “gives pop quizzes,” it’s best to just cross them off the list. Sure, it’s possible that someone had a bad day and decided to rant

themselves. We have just as much right as them to hunt and protect ourselves nowadays. Because hunting is totally moral, no matter what any of those animal rights nuts have to say about it. For instance, I completely stand with that Dr. Palmer, the man who killed Cecil the Lion. That lion was going to eat him; lions like people meat. They’re of the devil. Palmer was acting in self-defense, and trophy hunting is always moral as it protects our right to have nice animal body part decorations in our homes; and protection? Don’t get me started. If all those smarty pants college students had had guns, they could have not been dead right now. They

about his or her professors online, but are you seriously willing to take that chance? I think not. The worst-case scenario is searching for the professor only to find that they are not, in fact, on the website. Then you know it must be bad. What is the professor hiding? It doesn’t even matter, just cross the course off the list and never look back. Let’s not forget about grade distributions. If the percentage for A’s is less than 30 percent, you might as well just accept the D on your transcript now. If an entire third of that professor’s past victims couldn’t ace their tests, obviously you won’t either, so there’s no point in trying to live up to Tom Cruise standards for this impossible mission. Make sure
you check all the semesters listed. Yes, I mean every single one. Spring 2015 and fall 2014 are not enough. Your potential professor could have taught another section six, eight, 11 years ago. It’s essential to make sure all the percentages are consistent. If too many people failed back in 2003, then you’re doomed for spring 2016. So set aside your homework because who has time for that with all the research you need to be doing? Having a top-notch schedule is necessary in order to succeed in every degree. The pressure is on, Wolfpack, and if you don’t have every possible combination of courses, and teachers and times prepared and prioritized when those two alarms go off … well, good luck.
would’ve had their guns cocked and ready at all times in the classroom, ready for those crazy person killers to come in and start shooting up the place. Because it’s practical to have your gun cocked and at the ready at all times, especially at college. My answer to these college shootings? The same as the NRA, the holiest of the sources: MORE GUNS. Get guns to protect against those crazy killers and everybody will be fine. Don’t regulate our guns. Don’t mandate any background checks. They have been proven to not work anyway, at least according to my mama. It’s not like other countries that have gun regulations have less gun violent things. Look at Australia! They’ve banned guns and they
aren’t doing so well. Sure, they have a firearm death rate that is 5 percent the size of America’s, but they don’t have the same amazing freedom as us! Sure they haven’t had any mass shootings since they banned guns, but that doesn’t mean anything. More guns equal more safety, and more freedom equals less problems. Because freedom, except in the case of the gay marriage, a woman’s “right” to choice and our holy religion, is above all. Don’t you dare take away our 2nd amendment rights. -A concerned citizen

Meet Rich Holly: drummer turned executive director Alexandra Goodfred Staff Writer
At 6 years old, Rich Holly came down the stairs of his house and saw a program featuring a band playing on the television. The camera zoomed in and focused on a drummer, and Holly immediately k new what he wanted: a set of drumsticks. His father gave him a pair, and from then on, Holly played on every available drumming surface. He did, eventually, get his first snare drum and later went on to study percussion in both his undergraduate and graduate programs. Holly has studied African, Cuban and Brazilian drums and drumming, but currently he has a different concentration for his efforts: Holly is the new executive director for ARTS NC STATE. After being asked to apply to the position twice and turning it down once, Holly decided to consider it. He was working as the dean of the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Northern Illinois University, though he found a new and interesting relationship with the arts of NC State. “I would like to think a student that participates in the arts here is going to have such a great experience that when they become a fullfledged adult, and they have an extra $40 in their pocket, they might say, ‘hey let’s go to this concert; let’s go to this ballet and be supporters of the arts,’” Holly said. Holly is a major advocate for the arts, after becoming concerned about the lack of audiences, the lack of people going to galleries and museums and the prevalence of school boards cutting arts programs in public schools. Currently, Holly is doing a lot with outreach both at NC State and connecting with arts non-profits in the community, as well as providing art teachers

Richard Holly, the new executive director of ARTS NC STATE, poses with only a few of the several drums he keeps in his office in Talley Student Union. Holly joined the Wolfpack in July after serving as the Dean of the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Northern Illinois University. He has been playing the drums for about 50 years with performances at schools, colleges, conventions and festivals throughout the world. Holly will be performing at Stewart Theatre later this year.
in communities where the school board is trying to cut the arts with resources to prevent the loss of their programs. In addition to performance and craft, ARTS NC STATE works with students in the Arts Village, as well as classes offered across campus. The Gregg Museum of Art and Design currently has more than 34,000 objects and works to bring in classes to connect the curriculum to the objects they are examining as well. “The best thing we can do for students who have had no arts experience before is to let them know there’s this whole other world out there that for whatever reason they haven’t been able to take advantage of,” Holly said. “And we are here to help them take advantage of it.”
Holly said he is incredibly excited to be at NC State and running the ARTS NC STATE program, and he finds everyone working for him incredibly f riendly, helpf u l a nd “ fabu lous.” According to Holly, everyone is eager to do more, and everyone works to create an open and professional environment. “I’m on what I call my listening tour; I’m spending several hours every week meeting w ith ever y employee of ARTS NC STATE,” Holly said. “Ultimately, it will probably take me six months to meet with everybody, but I’ll eventually get there. I’ve been very clear with everyone that my position is one of service— and yes, there are times when I have to make a decision but I’m not going to make that decision in a vacuum
— I need to hear from other people about opinions, and thoughts and history.” Holly has two main initiatives he wishes to complete: find a new marketing person for ARTS NC STATE to better inform the general public of its presence and every thing it offers ; and getting off campus to meet as many non-prof it arts in the region to find possible future partners, such as having the North Carolina Opera conduct a vocal workshop for students. Holly is not the only one excited about being here and working with ARTS NC STATE. Both the directors for the Crafts Center and Center Stage are thrilled to have him here. George Thomas, the director for the Crafts Center, shares a love of drummi ng w it h Hol ly — he
pursued his love of drumming through high school before selling his drum set and dedicating himself to woodcarving. “[Holly] had his dream with drums, and the passion, but in talking with him, the idea that working within education does open your eyes to all kinds of possibilities and makes you ponder, particularly at the collegiate level, and he comes in with that experience tied to a passion,” Thomas said. Sharon Moore, the director of Center Stage, was part of the committee that initially contacted Holly. According to Moore, Holly is a good listener with an easy manner and loves what he does. His energy is infectious, and he is welcoming and open, which she feels is a benefit since the
arts suite of Talley Student Union where the ARTS NC STATE offices are located is such as small space. “It feels like he’s been here longer than a few months, which is great,” Moore said. “He fits into the workings here seamlessly.” Holly is very much about serving the students and serving the state, and according to Moore, the real role of executive director is to create relationships, which Holly has been working on since he came to NC State. “The arts make us human, and without the arts, you’re not teaching a child all the possible things they can experience in their life, including emotions,” Holly said. “I’m very fond of telling people who are not familiar with the arts that the arts make us think.”
Crystal Island game emphasizes scientific inquiry Carolyn Thompson Staff Writer
“Reading,” a word that brings to mind books, school and beloved series, fosters literacy skills and opens a doorway for an individual to get lost in a story. Books are a common choice for story immersion and learning, but what about the choice of a video game? The Cr ysta l Isla nd project, which was designed by the NC State University Center for Educational Informatics and funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), serves as a platform for conducting research on game-based learning and games as a supplement to classroom instruction. NC State’s department of computer science, education and the College of Design worked together to develop the Crystal Island project, which investigates the impact of intelligent game-based learning environments on problem solving, engagement and STEM learning. NC State graduate students help conduct research, and teachers and students who would be using the game also provide feedback on how to design the game.
In the game “Crystal Island: Lost Investigation,” students play as a medical field detective investigating a disease outbreak on a remote island. The player explores the island in first-person view and interacts with other characters, objects, informational texts and more regarding the disease outbreak. Crystal Island’s science content aligns with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study Essential Standards for Eighth-Grade Microbiology, and the game activities emphasize the nature and practice of scientific inquiry, according to the website for the Center for Educational Informatics. “I collaborate with James Lester on game-based learning, and we’ve had about over $4 million of funding to create games and study the process of game-based learning on student learning outcomes,” said Hiller Spires, a co-principal investigator on a research aspect of the project and professor of literacy and technology at NC State. According to Spires, recently, the game was geared toward fifth graders in science classes, and the game was designed using in-

put on features from teachers and students. “Then we conducted research to see if it affected their content learning and also their problem solving capacities,” Hiller said. “We did some case studies on some of the students, and we looked at low-level readers and high-level readers, and we found that both the low-level readers and high-level readers were able to make games in terms of science content.” Research data from the game is collected from the save game data stored in the cloud and the online test after the game. Teachers who want to use Crystal Island in the classroom must confirm that the computers can run the game and create a group course. Teachers
then move on to the lesson planning associated with the game, which is listed as a four-week curriculum schedule. “We created our own tests and standardized them — so we created reliability building it with the test items,” Hiller said. “So we were able to test them on the content. It was all online, so after they played the game and they took the test.” Currently, North Carolina is the only state using Crystal Island in its classrooms, and according to the Center for Educational Informatics website, the game has been used by more than 4,000 North Carolina students. Research results found from using Crystal Island have appeared in more than 40 publications, and the game was
a finalist for Best Serious Game at the 2012 Unite Conference, the annual developer conference for the Unity game platform. While having a good read is a common way to increase reading comprehension and learning, games may play a growing role not only outside the classroom but also within the classroom as a tool to supplement students’ academics. “We are excited about the enormous potential offered by gamebased learning environments and are delighted to see the impact that Crystal Island is having on students,” said Lester, the director of the Center for Educational Informatics and principal investigator for the project.

ahead 1-0. Now second in goals, Duchscherer has proved his worth and has adapted well to the Wolfpack’s system. “I really appreciate being here,” Duchscherer said. “I’ve never experienced such an atmosphere in a team before. In Germany it’s a bit different because it’s more like a business, but here the team is stuck together like a family.” The Wolfpack played the first period at half speed, patiently moving the ball around and connecting passes consistently, but not getting great looks at the goal. The Mountaineers were aggressive on the counter attack but only earned one legitimate chance, which was saved by a flying dive from senior NC State goalkeeper Alex McCauley. The Wolfpack outshot App State 10-4 before the halftime whistle and should have put the game to bed during the first 45 minutes. Freshman forward Tanner Roberts had a pair of good chances he could have converted but were foiled by a combination of App State defenders and redshirt senior goalkeeper Paul West.
The second half was similar to the first. NC State concentrated on controlling possession, while App State tried to counterattack, but the Mountaineers couldn’t find a way past the Pack’s back four plus the work of sophomore defensive midfielder Cameron Steele. Knudson notched his sixth goal of the season in the 60th minute after excellent work by sophomore defender Caleb Duvernay. The Raleigh native slipped by his immediate defender and dribbled toward the middle of the App State defense. Knudson stayed just onside, and Duvernay slipped him in one vs. one for an easy finish. App State would get a lifeline just two minutes left in regulation, as Duvernay slipped, attempting a clearance in the box, and the ball bounced to freshman forward Anson Girone, who poked it past McCauley. “I was really disappointed to give up a goal in the last five minutes of a half,” Findley said. “That’s just not who we are or what we do.” Despite that slip, the Wolfpack would see out the 2-1 win and can focus on a crucial ACC clash up at Syracuse Friday night.

the vice president and me, decide who goes on each team at tryouts,” Simons said. “The talent is pretty much equal though, so there is no real difference between each team.” Tryouts last for two nights. The first night is open to all students and consists of two hours of pickup games to evaluate the potential players’ skills. The first cuts bring back only 10 to 15 players the next day for further evaluation, and the final cuts officially take in about seven players to join the team. “We always have a good turnout at tryouts,” Simons said. “This year we had about 60 guys come out, and in the past, we’ve had up to 100 guys.” The new additions to the team add to the camaraderie the club thrives on. “We love getting new faces on the team and getting to know them,” Simons said. “They’re all pretty awesome, and, in general, I feel we have a really good group of guys.” Both the Red team and the White team will play in the University of South Carolina Tournament Oct. 24 and 25. The next home game is the White team against Ridgeview Prep Oct. 29 at 8 p.m.
Well, watching the first four games, there were plenty of reasons to be excited about this team. Lesser opponents or not, the Pack absolutely dominated those games. Yes, Eastern Kentucky was a FCS school, but it was the first time it has been shut out since September 2006, with NC State’s defense forcing eight threeand-outs on 10 drives. T hen T hor nton returned, and his skill set combined with junior running back Matt Dayes forms possibly one of the best one-two punches in the nation. Both runners eclipsed more than 100 yards in each of the two games, but then of course, Thornton was dismissed, derailing the Pack’s momentum it had gained early in the season. NC State is now 4-2, winless in ACC contests, as it travels to Wake Forest after a much-needed bye week. W hi le t he Deacs have also been a struggling team in recent

memory, the Wolfpack has a bad track record in Winston Salem, as it has not beaten Wake on the road since 2001. What will the Pack need to do to get back on track? The offense needs to get reignited. Scoring 13 points per game, which it has done in both conference games, will not win games. Its identity is based on its powerrun game. With Thornton gone, Dayes ha s been asked to carry the load, which he is more than capable of doing. Sophomore fullback Jaylen Samuels will likely be asked to run the ball more to take some of the load off Dayes. Samuels is possibly the most versatile player on the roster, and the more he is on the field, the better. Freshman Reggie Gallaspy II could also see some extended time if he continues to progress. Brissett can also be utilized in the running game, as he is a talented dual-threat quarterback. He lacks elite speed, but his agi lit y, combined with his strong, 6-foot-4, 235-pound frame, makes
him tough to bring down. After totaling negative rushing yards against Louisville, he bounced back for 39 yards against Virginia Tech. Brissett needs to stay true to who he is in the passing ga me, as t he game revolves around t he qu a r terback . He struggles with the deep ball, but has the talent around him to stick with the shorter, higher efficiency throws. Samuels has proved to be a dynamic threat, and junior wide receiver Jumichael Ramos has been a highly reliable target. While he should take shots down the field every now and then, he is best when he sticks to what is there and doesn’t force passes. The most important thing a team can do is recognize its identity and stick to it. The offense needs a spark, and it has the runners to do it. If it can utilize the potential of the run game against ACC opponents like it did in the first four games of the season, look for the Pack to get back on track as it pursues bowl eligibility.

PACK PROS Andrew Schnittker Correspondent Philip Rivers Rivers had one for the record books against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday, as he completed a career-high of 43-of-65 passing attempts for a career-high of 503 passing yards, setting San Diego Chargers franchise records with both marks. Rivers threw for two touchdowns, no interceptions and a 99.7 passer rating. However, Rivers and the Chargers, despite the former Wolfpack signal caller having the best game of his career, were not able to seal a victory, falling 27-20 to the Packers. The 43 completions were a record number for completions by a quarterback in a loss. Additionally, he is the first quarterback to throw for over 500 yards and no interceptions in a losing effort. Rivers is now tied with Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback for the secondmost passing yards against the Packers; Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford holds the distinction with 520 in 2012. Rivers’ two touchdowns combined to bring the game from a 17-3 Packers’ lead to being tied 17-17, as he threw a 1-yard pass from the goal line to make wide receiver Dontrelle Inman to make it 17-10 as time expired in the first half. He followed that up with a 19-yard throw to tight end Ladarius Green tied it at 17 in the third quarter. Rivers was not able to force overtime, however, as with the Chargers facing fourth-and-goal with 15 seconds left, Rivers’ pass intended for running back Danny Woodhead was punched away, sealing a Packers victory. Russell Wilson Wilson had a solid day on Sunday, completing 18-of-30 passes for 241 yards, a touchdown, no interceptions and a 96.7 passer rating. Wilson also rushed for 53 yards on eight carries as his Seattle Seahawks fell 27-23 to the visiting Carolina Panthers. Wilson threw his one touchdown on a huge 40-yard pass to wide receiver Ricardo Lockette in the third quarter to put Seattle up 17-7. Wilson also made some big throws to set up running back Marshawn Lynch’s rushing touchdown that put the Seahawks up 10-7 in the second quarter, including a 25-yard pass to tight end Jimmy Graham to put Seattle at the Panthers’ 20-yard line, and a 16-yard pass to tight end Luke Willson to set up his team at the goal line. Steven Hauschka Hauschka showed off his leg strength for Seattle on Sunday, going 3-for-3 on field goals. Hauschka also was perfect on extra points, connecting with the two he attempted. Hauschka opened the scoring in the first quarter with a 30-yarder to put Seattle up 3-0. He then hit one from 50 yards in the third quarter to make give the Seahawks a 20-7 lead. Hauschka had Seattle’s final scoring play of the game, hitting a 43-yard field goal at the start of the fourth quarter to put Seattle up 23-14, but this lead would not hold as the Panthers ended up winning 27-23.

A chilly October evening couldn’t cool the NC State men’s soccer team Monday night at Dail Soccer Stadium, as the Wolfpack rolled past Appalachian State 2-1 in its last nonconference match of the season. Goals in the first and second half secured the win for the Pack (8-3-3) over the Mountaineers (6-6), who pulled a consolation goal back just before the full-time whistle, and NC State got back on track after coming apart at the seams against Duke Friday night. “Anytime you have a loss like
[against Duke] is tough, so you have to rebound,” head coach Kelly Findley said. “Also, going from Friday to Monday is a real hard turnaround, so I was pleased with that. [App State] didn’t play Friday night, their game against USC Upstate was canceled, so I was a little worried about legs. I thought we responded really well, not on our usual cycle, too, so that throws you off, but in the end it was a good performance.” Senior defender Reed Norton missed the match after picking up a red card at Duke Friday. He was replaced by sophomore Matias Fracchia. Junior midfielder Yanni Hachem missed his second game in a row due to illness, and junior Travis Wannemuehler started at the top of the midfield diamond, with sopho-
more Zach Knudson sliding to the left. “I thought [Fracchia] had a good game tonight,” Findley said. “His first game back against Gardner Webb was a tough one. He hadn’t played in eight weeks coming off an injury, but I thought he was much more solid tonight. I think we’re working on [replacing Hachem]. Yanni was having a really good year. I think he helped us play the diamond really well and helped our shape and possession rate. He reads the game really well. I think Travis had a really good game against Duke. I thought he performed well tonight, but I don’t like having Zach [Knudson] that far from goal, either.” NC State rolled to a 1-0 lead in the first half thanks to freshman midfielder Julius Duchscherer, who
notched his fourth goal of the season. The German has been a crucial player in the Pack’s campaign so far, and his strike was well-taken in the 26th minute of play. “Sometimes I have to give balance when Simon overlaps and gets behind, and sometimes I can go forward and have the chance to score goals,” Duchscherer said. “I’m not focused on one part; I have to do both things.” Wannemuehler received the ball moving through the middle of the field about 25 yards from the App State goal and slid a perfectly weighted pass to Duchscherer, who overlapped on the right. The German drilled his shot into the top left corner of the goal, putting the Pack

the years go on. The fundraiser also won the Club Sports Event for the 2014–2015 year. The team, formed in 2009, is split up into the Red team and the White team. Each team has separate schedules, but that is the only thing dividing them. The teams practice together every Wednesday for two hours.

With the NC State football team already halfway through its season, here is a look at how the Wolfpack has fared thus far. The Pack started off strong, dominating its non-conference schedule against lesser opponents by a combined score of 185-48. This set expectations high, with some NC State fans even believing that the Pack could contend with some of the top ACC teams. Then, September ended and October began. Head coach Dave Doeren’s woes in the month of October had not gone unnoticed, as he entered the year with a combined 0-6 record in the month of October the previous two years. In 2013, it was Doeren’s first year with very few of his players on the team. In 2014, the Pack began its ACC schedule against some of the top-notch ACC programs, including Florida State and Clemson. This year, it has been a different story. On Sept. 30, senior running back Shadrach Thornton hit a pedestrian on his moped and was charged with failure to stop and render aid and failure to provide information. The next day, Oct. 1, he was dismissed from the team. Just two days later, NC State had its first conference game against Louisville, its first true test, and it responded by rushing for just 45 yards after rushing for 330 yards and a school-record of seven touchdowns the week before. Next up was Virginia Tech, that was still without quarterback Michael Brewer due to a broken collarbone. It didn’t matter, as backup quarterback Brenden Motley threw for 158 yards and three touchdowns. Meanwhile, senior quarterback Jacoby Brissett struggled in the bad weather conditions and the stout Hokie defense, throwing for just 113 yards and throwing his first interception since Nov. 8 against Georgia Tech. What does all this mean?

The NC State club basketball team looks to have a successful year as both the Red and White teams head undefeated into the University of South Carolina Tournament. The club team has started its season strong, winning its first game of the season against Duke 59-37. It has also defeated Elon and UNC-Pembroke. The club basketball team, which is part of the National Club Basketball Association, has won the American Collegiate Intramural Sports (ACIS) Men’s Club National
Basketball Championship and made it to the National Final Four in the past. Not only is club basketball proving itself on the court, but the players are also making an impact on the community. The first annual Dunking for Deah tournament was held Feb. 27 in honor of former NC State students Deah Barakat, Yusor Abu-Salha and Razan Abu-Salha, who were killed in the tragic Chapel Hill shooting Feb. 10. Dunking for Deah consists of a 3-on-3 tournament made up of both men’s and women’s teams to raise money for Barakat’s Syrian Dental Relief Cause. The first tournament raised $3,000, a number the team will strive to increase as
