The News & Observer and neighboring church broken into, vandalized
An unknown person broke into and vandalized The News & Observer offices and the First Presbyterian Church in downtown Raleigh early Sunday morning. A bloody trail and several computers were thrown through The News & Observer’s third-floor windows. Files were opened in several administrative offices and tossed outside. “The suspect is on video,” said Publisher Orage Quarles III. “Luckily, there weren’t any damage to any humans. That’s the best thing. He left a mess, and we’ll probably increase our security.” Journalists at The News & Observer discovered the overturned desks and broken windows at about 1:30 a.m. Reports of a break-in came from First Presbyterian Church on Salisbury Street around 8 a.m. Detectives are considering the possibility that the two crimes, which happened only one block apart, are related.

“Drunk town” ad committee files complaint
The committee behind the “Drunk Town” ads that appeared in The News & Observer last week is taking its actions one step further. Dean Debnam and his political action committee, Wake Citizens for Good Government, are planning to file an official complaint with the Wake County Board of Elections. “I was concerned about the activities of the people who were campaigning downtown. That I believe there’s been some coordination and there’s been some illegal expenditures, at least expenditures that haven’t been reported,” Debnam said. Five council members are listed in the complaint along with several local business owners and the group Keep Raleigh Vibrant. The group claims that some council members are illegally coordinating, taking illegal money and not disclosing their expenditures. SOURCE: WNCN

Students dressed in “slutty” clothing and rain boots marched through campus Thursday afternoon to protest against victimblaming language and acts of sexual violence.
“You are not a slut, a shank or a hoe because you chose to be a sexual being ... ” - Sara Forcella, the rape
prevention education coordinator of the Women’s Center Sponsored by The Movement and the Women’s Center, NC State’s first-ever large-scale SlutWalk drew more than 250 participants despite the rain and a last-minute venue change. The event, which was initially set to be held on Stafford Commons, was moved indoors to the State Ballroom inside Talley Student Union.

Jackson Buck, a junior studying electrical engineering, Alicia Criswell, a freshman majoring in exploratory studies, and Caroline Gabriel, a junior studying communication, participate in the SlutWalk on Thursday. Participants handcrafted signs with affirmative messages to carry while on the walk in an aim to end victim blaming in rape cases.
“I think we would have gotten some more people if we had had the event outside as planned,” said Maggie Schroder, the SlutWalk’s planning committee president and a sophomore studying social work. “Overall, I couldn’t be more happy with how it turned out.” Thursday’s event began with a
performance from members of the Arts Village and spoken word from NC State students and alumni. Both performances aimed to call attention to rape culture, sexual harassment and body shaming. “The thing that has really made the SlutWalk for me is the number of [sexual violence] survivors com-
ing forward to thank us and tell us how the event has helped them feel more comfortable talking about their situations,” said Melenni Balbach, a member of The Movement and a sophomore studying women’s and gender studies.

NC RIoT Hackathon promotes innovation through competition Zeke Hartner Staff Writer
Dozens of participants made their way to Centennial Campus this weekend for the inaugural Hackathon event hosted by the Center for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies at NC State and North Carolina Regional Internet of Things. Aimed toward bringing together groups of tech-minded individuals to create real-world appliances using innovative technologies, Hackathon challenged nine groups to com-
pete against one another and create the most marketable idea during the weekend. Ideas ranged from wearable sleep apnea devices, to technology that could monitor the condition of a home while the owner is away. The teams that presented the most marketready hacks have the opportunity to be placed in a fast-track entry in Groundworks Labs’ local startup accelerator, according to Tom Snyder, the industry liaison of the National Science Foundation ASSIST Center.

Chancellor Randy Woodson will give his annual Fall Address Monday at 10 a.m. in Stewart Theatre. A few months into his fifth year in his position at NC State, Woodson is proud of the work he has done, and he still hopes to accomplish more in the upcoming academic year. In Woodson’s tenure, the university’s endowment has grown from $503 million in 2010 to being within reach of topping $1 billion in the near future, which can only mean more good news for students and faculty as it allows for financial flexibility and the ability to respond when a need emerges. One of the developments Woodson plans to mention is the North Carolina Legislature’s recent scheduling of a $2 billion bond referendum for March which will allow a vote on funding for two building projects at NC State — the Engineering Oval Project and the Plant Sciences Project — totaling about $162 million. This cost will not be footed by the government alone; the university has already raised 50 percent of the total funding for the Engineering Oval Project from private-sector donations, as well as 30 percent of the total funding for the Plant Sciences Project. The goal of these projects is to move closer to fully relocating the College of Engineering to Centennial Campus and to further the university’s mission to encourage interdisciplinary research. If the bond were to pass, construction on both would begin in fall 2016. Woodson said in an interview with the Technician that though he took office in the wake of one of the most difficult times in public higher education,

As rain continues to pummel the Palmetto State, North Carolina has decided to send help to South Carolina in response to an air request from the state’s emergency management officials. “With the traumatic flooding occurring in South Carolina, I’ve directed North Carolina’s Emergency Management officials to provide as much logistical support as they need from us,” Gov. Pat McCrory said. “Our state has sufficient personnel and supplies to keep North Carolinians safe if conditions warrant.” Four North Carolina Helo Aquatic Rescue Teams deployed Sunday evening to help rescue stranded residents and motorists who are trapped in the rising flood waters.

MONDAY OCTOBER
The Climate Reality Project’s Know Tomorrow event brought several NC State student groups together in the Talley Student Union lobby Friday to raise awareness about the dangers of climate change. The event was part of a nationwide day of action on college campuses. NC State was one of 60 schools from Harvard to UCLA that engaged in
a large advocacy campaign for meaningful action toward curbing human-induced climate change. The Wolfpack Environmental Student Association, Snake Club at NCSU and Students for Bernie were amongst those supporting the effort to garner attention toward the international issue. “Growing up by the coast, the issue of rising sea levels hits close to home for me,” said Shawn Blazer, a junior studying environmental sci-
ence. “I know it’s imperative that we act now before we’re hit by a torrent of consequences. My generation has the power to fight climate change, but we’re so much more capable if we work together.” Awareness and education were the primary focuses of the event. Students engaged others by giving out prizes for answering trivia questions related to global warming and climate change. Students also participated in a photo competition
and posed for photographs to show support for environmental mindfulness. While the event was hindered by inclement weather Friday, Jasmine Fuller, the environmental organizer for the Climate Reality Project’s Know Tomorrow campaign, did not let the weather dampen her spirits. “Having nearly 200 students at NC State join thousands of others

because you chose to abstain from sex,� said Sara Forcella, the rape prevention education coordinator of the Women’s Center. “You are only the words you choose to define yourself as. We must create a culture which rejects sexual assault and victim-blaming, and stand together as a Pack.� Forcella attributes SlutWalk’s success to the “extremely passionate� students who took the time to organize the event. Rebeka Galeano, a junior studying genetics, hopes the SlutWalk will become an annual event at NC State. “I think this event has been great,� Galeano said. “I didn’t expect this many people to actually take the initiative to come out, but I think it shows how many people on campus care about this.�
Stewart Theatre, NC State’s largest performance space, reopened Sept. 17 to unveil an impressive collection of updated features and accommodations to better fit NC State’s ever-improving infrastructure. “[Stewart Theatre] is one of the finest performance spaces in Raleigh,� said John McIlwee, director of University Theatre. “It’s much more attractive than even the theaters downtown.� Located in the second floor of the Talley Student Union, the new and improved theater space seats approximately 750 people and features newly renovated seating, improved sound-proof walls, new dressing rooms, a European-style theater layout and handicap acces-
sibility in all areas. The space has added plush, red seats that curve in an elevated, panoramic style, facing a black, ground-level stage and a thick, red main drape, to remain true to the iconic red curtain image of a classical theater. McIlwee said that along with University Theatre performances, Stewart Theatre “also houses programs from NC State LIVE, the music department, the dance program and anybody who wants to engage Stewart Theatre,� putting students’ organizations as a priority. Students can reserve Stewart Theatre for various events and performances free of charge. However, because theater reservations tend to fill up fast, McIlwee urges students to reserve the theater far in advance to ensure a spot.
“Stewart Theatre is used almost every day of the year,� McIlwee said. “There’s almost always something going on there.� NC State LIVE has a full schedule of shows through the spring semester that includes musicians, a circus dancing troupe, a Japanese percussion group and many more. University Theatre just finished up its run of “Fiddler on the Roof� Sunday, which was its first performance held exclusively in the newly renovated Stewart Theatre. The next play coming up for University Theatre is “Duck Hunter Shoots Angel,� a comedy based on a National Inquirer headline. Other upcoming plays for the semester include a modern retelling of “The Odyssey� called “Anon(ymous),� a comedy called “Leading Ladies� and “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.�

First things first: Which priorities really matter? T
he most important resource in a college student’s life is time. Everyone knows the phrases “time and tide wait for no man” and “time is money.” I do not intend to preach these quotes Abhishek again. Every college student Karadkar will agree with me that most of Correspondent us understand the importance of time. But the problem is not about realizing the importance of time. Rather, it is more about how to manage our time effectively. So how should we use this very precious resource most effectively? I am a student at NC State like all of you, and I am writing this column based on some general guidelines. We can follow them to manage time effectively while also considering each of our independent schedules and concentrating on those areas that should come first in our lives. I recently happened upon the inspiring lectures of Randy Pausch on time management. He said Americans are really good at dealing with money as a commodity, but we are very bad at dealing with time as a commodity. Indeed, we definitely should learn and practice techniques to manage time, as using time properly not only increases our productivity but also makes us feel accomplished when we complete our tasks on schedule. In the book, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” Stephen Covey explains that being able to manage time in an efficient way is one of the success traits of effective people. He explains the four quadrants for time management and, indeed, we spend a lot of time doing things that are either not important but urgent or that are important and urgent. In the latter case, we are compelled to do it. But certainly it is not good time management, as the author suggests. We should rather focus on those things that are “important and not urgent.” It is similar to the Pareto rule of 80-20 in which 80 percent of the results comes from 20 percent of the activities we do. So, those 20 percent tasks are the most important and would yield the maximum throughput, and that is the most effective way to complete our tasks. And we should give 80 percent of our time to those 20 percent tasks in our schedule. So what are those 20 percent tasks that are not only important but also essential for all of us? We all need to ask ourselves in the morning after we get up: What are the things that are really important to us? What are those things that really add value to our lives and that are necessary for our personal empowerment?
{ Re: Talking Frankly about the environment Pope Francis, arguably the most influential religious leader in the western world, has the potential to sway the masses to care more about our singular, unique home — Mother Earth. With his recent statements on climate change and the impact humans have had on our planet’s environment, religious United States politicians, which typically swing toward climate change denial, find themselves stuck in ice.
Sea creatures in need When I was younger, I used to visit the beach with my grandparents. We would collect shells and try to spot various sea animals breaking through the water. Unfortunately, many of these wonderful sea creatures are struggling in their newfound circumstances along the coasts.
For college students, one of the most important things is our education. We all are here to study, learn new things and widen our experiences. It is one of those activities that should occupy most of our time in a day. And we are often busy completing assignments, projects and studying for exams. But these should not be the only activities we get involved in. As per the old saying: “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Along with studies and attending classes, it is equally important to set aside time for exercise, food, grooming and sleep. These four things are basic physical requirements. We all should go to Carmichael Gym for daily exercise or to play any sport we like. Eating healthy food and having a sufficient amount of sleep are also important for performing our daily activities with high energy and enthusiasm. Often students — especially graduate students — neglect exercise, eating or sleep due to the excessive pressures of deadlines and exams. This is very detrimental not only to health, but also to effective studying. Many researchers and psychologists have derived results supporting the relationships between healthy eating, proper sleep and overall success in life. Along with these things, another important aspect of everyone’s life is our family and friends. We should spend at least some time with our loved ones every day. It not only makes us feel happy and secure, but also develops our bonds with them. This is very necessary for a healthy relationship. Staying away from our family or friends for a long time affects our personality, makes us psychologically insecure and alone and thereby affects our career. After all, we are working hard to gain respect and love from family and friends. So, in spite of being overloaded by work and deadlines, we all should make some time for them. The last important of the four things is our hobbies, our hidden interests. Not all people always enjoy the work they do, but they should definitely make time for interests that are not part of their work. These may include music, painting, community service or even hiking out for adventure. At the end of the day, we need to do some things apart from our work that are purely for our mental satisfaction and calmness. As it is said, a day well-spent is a day welllived, so by putting these things on our schedule beside all our worries and burdens, we can spend each day happily. It is our happiness that really matters in life. And we can stay happy only when we manage our day well and spend it doing the right things.

I wrote this piece because I don’t want to walk away. I want to share two ideas that help me understand why sexual violence exists and what we can do to end it. Kalamu ya Salaam writes, “As long as male domination exists, rape will exist. Only women revolting and men made conscious of their responsibility to fight sexism can collectively stop rape.” Similarly, Andrea Smith suggests, “Strategies designed to combat violence within communities (sexual/ domestic violence) must be linked to strategies that combat violence directed against communities, including state violence (such as police brutality, –prisons, militarism, racism, colonialism and economic exploitation).” I want to leave you with some questions. In what ways do people like you and me, as well as institutions like NC State, give people who perform acts of violence permission to do that violence? What will it take for us to revoke this social license to operate? What work can we do to create a world in which sexual violence becomes unthinkable? Here are a few helpful resources: The NC State Women’s Center provides interpersonal violence advocacy services for students, regardless of gender or sexuality. The Women’s Center is located in 5210 Talley Student Union (right next door to the GLBT Center) and is open 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Monday through Friday. You can also call the 24-hour Relationship and Sexual Violence Phone (RSVP) Line: 919-618RAPE (7273). InterAct provides support to victims and survivors of domestic violence and rape/sexual assault. Its main office is located at 1012 Oberlin Rd. and is open 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday (919-828-7501). In addition to numerous resources, InterAct has several 24-hour crisis lines: Domestic Violence- 919828-7740 or 866-291-0855; Sexual Assault919-828-3005 or 866-291-0853; Solace Center- 919-828-3067 or 866-291-0854.

Pay-what-you-can cafe seeks funds to open near campus Megan Ellisor Managing Editor
NC State alumna Maggie Kane is working to open a pay-what-you-can cafe on Hillsborough Street. With long communal tables and five payment options, from paying by volunteering to paying for someone else’s meal, A Place at the Table wants to cultivate a sense of community among all Raleigh citizens regardless of their ability to afford a meal. “I really wanted to find a way to create that community, and I think food is the way to do it, and a restaurant is the way to do it,” Kane said. “It’s just a way to break down the walls that exist that our society has put up. We’re all so separated, and it’s not what we’re intended to do on this Earth. We’re supposed to be in community together, and I think if we can provide that place for relationships to build, then change can happen.” Kane, who earned her international relations degree from NC State in 2013, said she wants to change the exclusivity of restaurant culture by eliminating money as a limiting factor. “I basically always thought restaurants were exclusive and they left a socioeconomic class out of being inside, and they turned people away because if you don’t have enough money in your pocket, you don’t feel welcome to go in and risk the shame you might feel of it being too expensive for you to feed your family,” Kane said. The cafe will occupy one of two ground-floor commercial spaces below what will be Hillsborough Lofts, a seven-story apartment complex in the lot where Two Guys Pizza once stood, in between The Alley and Shanghai Express. But first the organization has to raise $100,000, an amount that will pay for startup expenses, a year’s worth of rent, food costs and six months of working capital. Having applied for its 501(c)3 status over the summer, A Place at the Table can now start accepting donations on its own rather than solely via Presbyterian Campus Ministry, with whom it has close ties.
The cafe, originally set to open in January, is now looking at a summer 2016 opening date due to delays in the construction process, but Kane called this “a blessing in disguise.” “We probably won’t be ready until next summer, and I’m thankful for it,” Kane said. “A Place at the Table is thankful for it—we are not ready to open financially at all. We just now started fundraising.” A Place at the Table launched a month-long crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo Thursday. Kane chose Indiegogo because it allows the organization to offer perks to backers. Those who donate $25 will receive A Place at the Table’s gratitude and a recipe for the cafe’s “famous egg casserole.” With a $10,000 donation, backers will receive a permanent plate on the wall of A Place at the Table, in addition to a gift card, a founder’s T-shirt, a bumper sticker, gratitude, a recipe and a free meal. Since the crowdfunding campaign started at the beginning of the month, A Place at the Table has received more than $5,000 in donations. In addition to monetary donations, Kane said simply sharing the crowdfunding page on social media and volunteering with A Place at the Table are free and easy ways students can help the cafe. Despite fundraising struggles, A Place at the Table has been successful in fostering community involvement. During the summer, the organization began working with students enrolled in the nonprofit internship class at NC State. The nonprofit cafe has also grown its board of directors to include 11 members with Kane as executive director. “It’s all about making connections,” Kane said. “I swear that’s just how the world is.” Kane has also expressed interest in working with other organizations, such as NC State’s Feed the Pack food pantry, and she hopes the cafe can grow to fundraise for other causes. “If this was to be so successful that we don’t have to raise money, we then raise money for another program,” Kane said. “We’d raise money to be able to train people in our restaurant

and give them jobs. We’d raise money to turn it around and help someone start their own community garden. We’d raise money for Feed the Pack food pantry. We want to give back as well.” A Place at the Table has yet to establish its menu, but Kane is hoping to serve breakfast food such as egg casseroles, with a focus on buying locally grown seasonal produce. “It really will depend on the chef, which we don’t have because we’re not sure of the time frame of when that building is going to be ready,” Kane said. The plan is for the cafe to open for lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The cafe will be available as a community space for groups to meet in the evening, but Kane hopes to expand A Place at the Table’s hours to include dinner as well. About 80 percent of customers need to pay in order for the restaurant to be successful, but the skeptics who are concerned about the vi-
ability of a pay-what-you-can restaurant do not put off Kane. “I believe that people will pay, I believe that if they can afford to pay, they will, and if they can’t, then they’re still welcome,” Kane said. To donate to A Place at the Table, visit the crowdfunding campaign page at aplaceatthetableraleigh.org.
FIVE WAYS TO PAY AT A PLACE AT THE TABLE: 1. Pay what you can afford 2. Pay what you would typically pay for a similar meal ($5-$7) 3. Pay what you would typically pay, plus an extra donation 4. Pay for someone else’s full meal 5. Pay by volunteering
Meet Lew: tabletop game developer, historian and teacher Samuel Griffin Correspondent
BEN SALAMA/TECHNICIAN
Lew Pulsipher explains the rules of one of the board games that he designed, Sea Kings, to AJ Carlson, a senior studying mechanical engineering, during the Table Top Gaming Club meeting on Friday. Lew has a book called “Game Design: How to Create Video and Tabletop Games, Start to Finish,” which was published in 2012 by McFarland. Pulsipher has attended the Table Top Gaming Club for over eight years and has seen the club grow from a dozen to as many as 84 attendees. The club meets on most Fridays in Witherspoon from 6-11 p.m.
Pulling a dolly full of games with him as he walked inside Witherspoon Student Center, game designer Lewis Pulsipher, or “Lew,” is a regular member of NC State’s Table Top Gaming Club. The 64-yearold man has been testing games of his own design with the NC State Table Top Gaming Club students for more than eight years. At the last club meeting on Friday, Pulsipher spoke about tabletop gaming with an undeniable sense of passion and knowledge, rattling off names of game publishers and games off the top of his head with ease. Pulsipher has a long history with the craft, from his early days of trying to get his first games published to being the first person to teach college game design classes in North Carolina in 2004. “I’m the longest attending member [of Table Top Gaming Club] other than the founder,” Pulsipher said. “I’ve had games that have been played many times here.” Pulsipher drives nearly 50 miles each way from his home near Fayetteville every Friday to meet with NC State’s Table Top Gaming Club so he can have students test his games, a process that allows him to see how players interact with his games in different ways to make sure the games are fair. “Lew has been with the club since before I was a member,” said Andrew Johnson, a senior studying material science and president of the Table Top Club. “Tabletop games are something he’s very passionate about, which one can easily tell from the sheer amount of games he’s both made and gotten published. He’s rarely
missed a meeting and always has a group of players excited to play what he brings every week.” Pulsipher has published a half a dozen board games during his career, including the incredibly popular war game Britannia. The game follows the various wars and migrations surrounding the island of Great Britain from the Roman invasion to the Norman Conquest. It is ranked in the top 400 games by members on the site Board Game Geeks among a list of more than 10,000 games. Pulsipher said his interest in game design started at a young age. As a child, he would create games by playing with toy tanks. Pulsipher then moved on to games that encouraged modification, specifically Diplomacy or Dungeons & Dragons. Pulsipher said these games were his training of creating his own games. Pulsipher made it clear just how much of an effect tabletop gaming has had on his life during the years, with the hobby even playing a pivotal role in how he met his wife. “I was contacted through a game shop by someone from the University of London who wanted to learn how to play D&D [Dungeons & Dragons],” Pulsipher said. “I went down to London to teach four people. In the end, I married one. Another married my wife’s best friend. The other two married one another, although they weren’t attached to each other at the time, and we’re all still married 36 years later. Pretty efficient!” Pulsipher has never designed games as a full-time job, stating that “almost nobody makes a living in freelance [game design]; I certainly don’t.” Pulsipher graduated from Duke University with a Ph.D. in military and dip-
lomatic history. He then taught himself computer programming. He has taught at colleges including Webster University, Wake Technical Community College and Central Carolina Community College on the subjects of computer networking, web design and game design. As the game developer spoke effortlessly about these subjects for more than an hour, he would beat on the table in front of him in excitement. By the time Pulsipher was done talking, he had formed an audience of students. Occasionally, one student would chime in, and Pulsipher would immediately engage with him or her in an even more indepth discussion. Pulsipher could quickly jump from discussing what he referred to as the “baby-boomer hobby” of war games to a series of different subjects such as chess, the history of Britain, teaching and video games, each subject spoken with the same enthusiasm as the last. However, no matter the subject of discussion, Pulsipher always managed to bring things back to gaming. “I’m a what-happens-next guy,” Pulsipher said. “History is all about what happens next. In the end, what is important is why it happened, but first of all you’ve got to know what happened. In the games I design, things happened that nobody ever saw before even though they’ve been playing for a while.” After finishing the hour-long discussion, Pulsipher immediately went to work testing his newest game, God’s Will, a card game where players fight over worshipers as a Greek god or goddess, and the student audience stayed circled around him to play.
NC State, NC colleges cultivate and grow craft brewery scene Natalie Labonge Correspondent
College and beer is a classic combination. But how about a college degree in beer brewing? In North Carolina, the craft brewing industry is on the rise, and the opportunities for education in the field are increasing along with the industry. John Sheppard, a professor and undergraduate coordinator for bioprocessing science, said he has noticed the increase in craft breweries in the area, particularly in the past five years. According to the Brewers’ Association, to be considered
craft, the brewery must be small, independent and traditional. “The craft beer movement in Raleigh is relatively new but has become a dynamic scene,” Sheppard said. “It is becoming more and more competitive with new craft breweries appearing every day.” In addition to the increasing number of breweries throughout the Raleigh area, there is an NC State brewery located on the ground floor of Schaub Hall, the Sheppard Brewing Lab. As the name implies, Sheppard was the man behind NC State’s brewery. He had it moved from Mc-
Gill University in Montreal, Canada, where he previously taught, to Raleigh when he became an NC State professor in 2006. Since its arrival, Sheppard said the brewery has been attracting graduate students for research. At the undergraduate level, there are several fermentation courses taught within the bioprocessing science program. None, however, specifically target beer brewing. Thomas Clawson, a graduate student studying food science, has been working at NC State’s brewing lab for the past three years and has developed a passion for the field.
“All of my income since I started grad school has come from researching and working with brewing-related projects,” Clawson said. Official brewing programs and degrees are becoming more popular around the state, particularly in the Blue Ridge area. In the fall of 2013, Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College founded the Craft Beverage Institute of the Southeast in response to the industry boom. According to its website, “The institute prepares individuals for positions in brewery and distill-

ery operations and management, distribution, sales and marketing and customer service or to be selfemployed and open their own craft production facility.” “It is a great thing that brewing courses are being offered at colleges in North Carolina,” Clawson said. “NC State should offer them as well, since Appalachian State University and four community colleges offer them. I believe that there is a great opportunity for extension work related to brewing here at NC State.” However, Sheppard said he is doubtful that NC State will have its own brewing program in the near future for both “practical
and philosophical reasons.” “The university is supportive because it’s a growing industry in North Carolina, and there is, I think, a need for people to know about the science of brewing if they are going to help with the growth of the industry here,” Sheppard said. “But on the other hand, they are also conscious of the negative connotation between beer and students, so it’s a bit of a sensitive topic.” According to Sheppard, the education of brewery employees is important because, often, they don’t have the science of brewing background or experience. “Community colleges fulfill an important role by educating people without having to have a university degree,” Sheppard said. Most of the NC State graduate students who work at the Shep-
pard Brewing Lab will work for a large brewery or a company that owns multiple breweries, according to Sheppard. Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, one of the larger craft breweries, employs many university graduates, valuing their brewery education. At NC State, the Sheppard Brewing Lab is not only used for research. It also supplies signature beers to NC State events and experiments with new recipes and brews. Some of the Wolfpack’s signature brews include the Pack Pilsner, Sheppard’s personal favorite, the Chancellor’s Choice India Pale Ale and the Brickyard Red, which is a university favorite for its sweeter Southern taste. The seasonal Wolf-toberfest beer is popular during the fall season.

turned the ball 90 yards all the way to the opposing 10-yard line, and a facemask penalty gave the Pack the ball at the 5-yard line. Dayes scored on a 3-yard jet sweep to close the gap 14-7. “We were sputtering on offense, so someone had to make a big play; we were all trying to make a big play, and it just happened to be me this game,” Hines said. After a pair of uneventful drives, the Cards marched down the field under the command of Jackson. Louisville ended the drive with a 36-yard field goal to extend its lead to 17-7 with 1:01 remaining in the half. Jackson led all rushers with 102 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries and added 90 yards and a touchdown in the air at the half. For the Pack, Brissett went 9-of-13 for 115 yards. However, NC State managed to gain merely eight
yards on the ground in the first half. As the weather worsened, both teams struggled on their first drives of the second half. However, on the Wolfpack second drive, Dayes burst out a 28-yard run to give it some momentum. Then, sophomore fullback Jaylen Samuels took a screen pass 21 yards to the end zone to cut the lead. However, freshman kicker Kyle Bambard missed the PAT, making the score 17-13. Once again, State was on a promising drive when Dayes fumbled the ball to give the Cards possession at the Wolfpack 45-yard line with 2:36 remaining in the third quarter. Louisville took advantage by kicking a 26-yard field goal to expand its lead to 20-13. It was a horrifically uneventful fourth quarter of sloppy football, with both teams struggling to get anything going offensively. On its final drive, Louisville chewed up 5:38 of play clock to give the Wolfpack the ball on its own 5-yard line with just 1:45 to play While a lot of Brissett’s passes were

short down the stretch, he still finished the game with a respectable 183 yards and one touchdown with no interceptions. Dayes led the team in rushing with 68 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries. Samuels led the Pack in receiving with five catches for 75 yards and a touchdown. Defensively, sophomore linebacker Airius Moore led the team with nine tackles and sophomore defensive tackle Josh Jones followed close behind with eight. Fellow sophomore defensive tackle B.J. Hill finished the game with seven tackles, 1.5 tackles for a loss and one sack. “We’re not going to feel sorry for ourselves,” Doeren said. “We’re going to get up, come in tomorrow and go to work and get ready to play a short week against Virginia Tech.” NC State looks to solve its offensive woes Oct. 9 for a Friday night matchup as it travels to Virginia Tech.

Porter showed up strong in the third set with a kill taking the first point for the Pack. Porter had a service ace before two Duke service errors brought the score to 20-14 in favor of the Wolfpack. Ramsey had three kills before the end of the set, with a kill by Brown taking the third set for NC State 25-16. “I was a little nervous because I have big shoes to fill to reach Maggie’s level,” Porter said. “My teammates were really encouraging, and that is what helped the most.” The fourth set began in several tie scores.

Ramsey hit a kill right through a Duke block to tie the score at 13, and Brown followed right behind with a kill at 14-13. Duke pulled away to take the fourth set 25-20. “[Porter] did a nice job,” Bunn said. “She was a little nervous obviously, but her set location was good.” Duke took a 7-3 lead in the fifth set before an NC State timeout. A service ace by Hranicka tied it at 11, with another service ace from the freshman making the score 12-11. The Blue Devils took the fifth set 15-12 and ultimately the match 3-2.

Cardinals rain on Pack’s parade Daniel Lacy
NC State golf to host Wolfpack Fall Intercollegiate
Assistant Sports Editor
The NC State men’s golf team will welcome multiple teams and individual players Monday and Tuesday for the 2015 Wolfpack Fall Intercollegiate. The Pack finished second at its most recent tournament, the Golfweek Conference Challenge in Burlington, Iowa. The Wolfpack Fall Intercollegiate will be held at the Lonnie Poole Golf Course on NC State’s Centennial Campus. The course previously hosted the 2014 NCAA Men’s Regional and the 2015 NCAA Women’s Regional. The course is a par 71 over 7,350 yards.
After winning its first four games in dominant fashions, the NC State football team failed to get anything going offensively Saturday, losing its first ACC game of the year to the Louisville Cardinals 20-13. Ultimately, the running attack was the difference of the game for the Wolfpack (4-1, 0-1 ACC). After rushing for 330 yards and seven touchdowns in the previous week against South Alabama, the Pack mustered 45 yards and one touchdown. Meanwhile, the Cardinals (2-3, 1-1 ACC) rushed for 203 yards. “Louisville won the line of scrimmage, in my opinion,” NC State head coach Dave Doeren said. “We struggled to run the ball, and when we did drop back [to pass] there was pressure. When you turn the ball over and don’t get any takeaways, and they run for 200 yards, and we run for 45, that’s not a good recipe for victory in the rain.” Both teams got off to a slow start. The first big play came on a 48-yard pass from senior quarterback Jacoby Brissett to junior wide receiver Jumichael Ramos. How-

ever, as he was attempting to break a tackle with the end zone in sight, he fumbled the ball and Louisville took over on its 8-yard line. This costly turnover gave the Cards some momentum, as it was able to capitalize on a seven-play, 92-yard drive, capped off with a 68-

Freshman middle back Blayke Hranicka spikes the ball during NC State’s match against Duke. The Blue Devils defeated the Wolfpack 3-2 with a fifth-set score of 1512.
NC State volleyball split its two matches versus Wake Forest and Duke at Broughton High School’s Holliday Gym Friday and Sunday. In an exciting four-set match, the Wolfpack (12-4, 1-3 ACC) duked it out against the Deacons (9-6, 1-2 ACC) to win 3-1. “We have to come out better in the first set, but once we get going we’re in good shape,” NC State head coach Bryan Bunn said. Freshman Blayke Hranicka had quite a night on the court. The Colorado native collected a career-best 17 kills and four
service aces. Junior libero Rachel Eppley made 22 digs on the night, a personal best. Junior setter Maggie Speaks was fired up as well. Speaks made 50 assists and 11 digs, her third double-double for the season. Wake Forest came out ready to play, and it showed as they took the first set by 10 points. NC State came back strong in the second set, but it was still an uphill battle. Neither team led by more than four points in the set. Senior setter Tanna Aljoe’s service ace clinched it 27-25 for the Pack. The back-and-forth play continued at the start of the third set until NC State took a seven-point run to make it 21-19. The Pack was able to keep the Deacons at bay to take the set 25-22. Senior Morgan Cormier took the match
for the Pack with her kill 27-25. “I think we can beat any team in this conference,” Bunn said. “We have a young group, but we have to believe we are equal to everyone we compete against.” State’s Sunday match, however, didn’t end as well for the Pack. Duke (7-7, 2-2 ACC) rushed out to an 8-3 lead in the first set. Two exciting kills by Cormier brought the score to 8-12 and then 10-19. A service ace by Hranicka gained the Pack another point, but Duke took the first set 25-12. It was a long second set as the score tied 11 times. Kearney, Hranicka and Ramsey were on fire at the net with kills that clinched essential points for the Pack. A service error by Duke,

COMMENTARY
How will the Pack fare after Thornton’s dismissal? Daniel Lacy Assistant Sports Editor
Senior running back Shadrach Thornton was arrested for his role in a scooter accident Tuesday and was dismissed f r om t h e t e a m Wednesday before Saturday’s ga me against Louisville. Daniel Lacy The NC State footAssistant Sports ball team followed Editor that up with an offensive performance that amounted to just 45 total rushing yards in a losing effort, after rushing for 330 yards and seven touchdowns the week before. Thornton’s presence as t he power back was clearly missed as the Wolfpack struggled to run between the tackles all game. From a talent perspective, Thornton was among the top-five players on the team, and while his dismissal was the right decision, it was one that
will ultimately hurt the team. The 6-foot-1 Hinesville, Georgia, native formed the ultimate one-two punch with junior running back Matt Dayes. W hile Thornton was more power-oriented, Dayes is more speed-oriented, as he uses his elusiveness to make the defenders miss in both the running and passing game. Though Dayes has had a great season with 95 carries for 522 yards and 10 touchdowns, and 18 catches for 158 yards, he is more effective when Thornton is in the mix. In the first two games of the season, when Thornton was suspended, Dayes tallied 242 yards and five touchdowns on 48 carries for an average of 5.0 yards per carry. The next two games, with Thornton back, Dayes carried the ball 28 times for 212 yards and four touchdowns for an average of 7.6 yards per carry. Last game against Louisville, Dayes managed just 68 yards and one touchdown
on 19 carries for an average of 3.6 yards per carry. Yes, the overall yardage totals were down as he was splitting carries with Thornton, but his averages were way up. Thornton’s presence not only kept Dayes fresh, but added an extra weapon to the offense that could use Dayes’ versatility in a variety of ways to exploit weaknesses in the opposing defense. With Thornton out of the picture, opposing defenses will zeroin on Dayes to limit his productivity as he is now the feature back. Freshman running back Reggie Gallaspy II has shown potential in limited playing time, but he is too young and not quite the physical presence that Thornton was. His lack of experience makes the coaching staff more reluctant to give him the workload that Thornton and Dayes had, leaving Dayes seeing more carries than he’s used to. While Dayes is a talented player,
possibly more so than Thornton, he operates best as a scat back who thrives in open space. Without Thornton, Dayes is asked to pound it up the middle more frequently to keep the defense guessing — something that he can do, but not quite as efficiently. NC State’s offense was built around the power running attack behind the three-headed monster of Thornton, Dayes and sophomore fullback Jaylen Samuels. Even senior quarterback Jacoby Brissett is a decent runner, with his unique use of size and agility making him a tough player to bring down. I n Sat u rd ay ’s los s , a m id st Thornton’s dismissal, the Wolfpack seemed to stray away from its typical identity. Samuels did not carry the ball once, and Brissett lost 26 yards on 10 carries, leaving Dayes as the only effective runner on the day. However, not all defensive lines are as formidable as Louisville’s,
and NC State will have more luck running against just about every other team except Clemson and Florida State. That being said, the Pack will still be a bowl-eligible team sans Thornton assuming it can bounce back from this horrific performance. Thornton’s impact and running ability, however, would likely have made State a 10-win team and helped it compete against the ACC powerhouses. With a nowhampered run game, the Pack will likely struggle to do so. The talented running back ends his career sixth place in school histor y in rushing yards with 513 carries for 2,572 yards and 19 touchdowns, including 30 carries for 203 yards and three touchdowns this season. If the Wolfpack wants to remain competitive in the ACC and maintain a respectable profile among its foes, it will need to establish a successful rushing attack without Thornton.
