A third party reported the sexual assault at Tucker Hall that occurred Wednesday, according to University Police Chief Jack Moorman. University Police is investigating who the suspect is, while keeping the identity of the victim anonymous. The victim in the situation did not want a Wolf Alert sent out, according to Moorman, but the Clery Act, a federal law, mandates that if there is a continuing threat to the college community, a warning must be sent out. University Police will conduct the majority of its interviews at the police station in order to keep anonymity of the victim and suspect. NICK FAULKNER /TECHNICIAN

After successfully registering more than 3,300 people to vote last week, the Youth Government Association hosted its kickoff event on Thursday. The recently created organization is designed to involve young people in local government. The majority of the night was spent listening to a series of guest speakers expressing their support for the new organization. The lineup consisted of a cast of people who all care deeply about Raleigh and the success of students. Smedes York, a former mayor of Raleigh and owner of Cameron Village, was the first to speak. With his executive history he gave advice about leadership, saying, “a leader sets the goals.” He advised, “instead of catching people doing something wrong, catch them doing something right.” The second speaker was Zack Medford, a community leader and owner of multiple bars in downtown Raleigh. Medford focused primarily on learning by doing. He spoke about how when he began, he knew very little about how to run a business, much less a bar. “The only way to do something is to jump off that cliff,” Medford said. City council member Bonner Gaylord focused on the impor-

tance of involvement in local government. “The city council has more impact on your lives than any other governmental body,” Gaylord said. He explained the importance of the city council in determining how Raleigh grows. The tremendous growth of the city at 63 people per day, a figure Gaylord quoted from the Triangle Business Journal, has prompted many new and important decisions to be made regarding infrastructure and quality of life. The main event, however, was when the president of the Youth Government Association spoke. Michael Occhipinti, also known as Michael Valor, the CEO and founder of Average Joe Promo LLC, spoke at length on the importance of working toward your dreams. Occhipinti said that dreams are some of the most important things we have and that because one man had a dream, everything changed. “If we start now, and build on what they created, we can do anything,” Occhipinti said. The Youth Government Association was intended to encourage young people to associate with city council members and business owners and to become leaders and entrepreneurs in a changing, growing world. “YGA is not [here] to change your opinions—it’s to make sure you have them.”

The Saudi Students Organization offered students a taste of Saudi Arabian culture Thursday afternoon in the One Earth Lounge at Talley Student Union. The organization, which is composed of more than 40 NC State students from Saudi Arabia, offered students Arab coffee, snacks and cuisine. Members of the Saudi Students Organization, dressed in traditional garments known as thawbs, also
answered students’ questions about the history, infrastructure and future of the country. “I think it’s time to transfer our knowledge and share our culture, different customs that we have including housing and family relationships,” said Ali Almalki, a graduate student studying civil engineering who coordinated the event. “We want [students] to know that we are sharing good habits with Western people, and we want others to explore our nation and see what we do over there.”

Hopscotch brings ‘hip community’ together Emma Cathell Features Editor
This weekend marked the si x th annua l Hopscotch Music Festival, bringing more than 140 bands from all over the state, nation and globe to downtown Raleigh. Not only does the three-day festival consist of live performances, but it also includes a design festival, day parties and art exhibitions as well. The festival included a range of music genres such as rock/pop, hip-hop, punk/ garage, folk/country, experimental, electronic and more. The venues also varied, including bars, pubs, theaters and museums. “T he beaut y of Hopscotch, to me, is how so many diverse bands are all here together,” said Phillip Ayers, an NC State post-grad studying literature. “It allows you try out new bands and genres, and experience new music that you probably wouldn’t see or hear otherwise. It also lets you bounce around from genre to genre without a problem. For example, on Friday night I saw Natalie Prass, a folk singer, I went straight from there to see Pusha T, a hip-hop artist, and then ended the night by seeing Pile, who is an aggressive pu n k-rock ba nd — t h ree radically different artists all within about an hour. You can’t find opportunities to do something like that very often.” This year at Hopscotch there were 12 walkable venues throughout downtown Raleigh, which is more than

there’s been in the years before. Neptunes Parlour, a bar and music venue on the basement level of King’s Barcade, made it to Hopscotch’s schedule this year. “We’ve never ac tua l ly used the downstairs venue, Neptunes, before,” sa id Greg Lowenhagen, founder of Hopscotch Music Festival. “We [used it] this year and I think it’s a lot of fun because the DJs we booked and some of the Electronica stuff that didn’t really have a home previously. It’s really good in that space I think.” There’s an intimate and tight-knit energy the club and bar venues bring to Hopscotch, Lowenhagen said. Mark Brown, a junior studying mechanical engineering, felt this energy at Hopscotch as well. “I’ve been to a few other music festivals before, but I really liked Hopscotch,” Brown said. “It felt more intimate than other music festivals. Like at other ones, there are so many people, and you’re like hundreds of feet back from the actual stage, but I felt like [at Hopscotch] any concert you wanted to get close to, you could. All the concerts I wanted to see I was basically in the second row for every single one of them.” Brown also said he liked how the artists were more involved and could be seen throughout the festival. He said he attended at least two acts where artists he had previously seen were enjoying the sets with the audience. “After the Chaz French concert, he just came down
in the crowd for the next show.” Brown said. “So I was just two feet away from him enjoying the next show and that was really cool.” Some of the most popular headliners of Hopscotch were Godspeed You! Black Emperor, TV on the Radio, Tycho and Dwight Yoakam, who performed each night at City Plaza. Other popular acts included Bully, Pusha T, Battles and Goldlink. Local bands including Boulevards, SMLH, Zach Mexico, Dad & Dad and Hanz were also a heavy emphasis. Alex Johnson, a sophomore studying business administration, said the best part about Hopscotch is how consistently good the lineups are each year. Both Johnson and Brown were unable to choose a favorite performance from the festival. “Pusha T—that was a lot of fun, Goldlink was good, I liked Wildhoney a lot too, oh, and TV on the Radio, I don’t know! There’s so many,” Brown said. “That’s tough.” However, Brown said Pusha T was a great show to see not only based on his performance, but on the audience’s energy as well. “So I was really close— probably second or third row—and everyone was really into it,” Brown said. “It was all his fans, and whenever a new song would play everyone would get really into it and was moshing and jumping around. There was just tons of energy, which is good because my enjoyment of a concert is really inf luenced by how much every-
one around me is enjoying and the energy level of the crowd. I thought the energy level at Pusha T was really high.” Hopscotch is not just about the diverse music, the exciting lineups and the day parties, but the crowd’s reaction and enjoyment of the festival as well. “There’s always this pretty incredible energy downtown I feel during Hopscotch and that’s really the testament to the attendees,” Lowenhagen said. “I mean the whole identity of the festival is really built on the people who come, who pay the money, who buy a wristband and run around downtown Raleigh whether it’s one night or three nights.” Thousands of people at-
tended the music festival, ra ng i ng f rom st udent s, artists, locals, volunteers and people from out of state. Johnson was a volunteer during the festival, which allowed him to have a three-day pass. Brown volunteered Saturday night at Pour House. “I volunteered for part of Saturday night and then got to see the rest of the festival,” Brown said. “It was pretty cool working with Hopscotch and all the attendees. I checked their wristbands as they came in. It was crazy all night at Pour House where Birds of Avalon, Zack Mexico and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard played. There was a line from 10 o’clock until Gizzard came off.”
Based on the local and popular acts, the intimacy of the festival, the diversity of music and the location of Hopscotch, Ayers, Brown and Johnson each said they plan to go to Hopscotch again next year. “I feel very strongly that anyone who lives in the Triangle and has the slightest inclination towards good music, or has ever listened to 88.1 or who goes to local shows should go to Hopscotch every year,” Ayers said. “There is no excuse for missing something this incredible that is happening so close by. I cannot stress that enough.”

ELECTIONS
continued from page 1
initially began with 45 first-year candidates and five graduate candidates, but that number dropped as some candidates withdrew or were unable to attend a required meeting. The Student Body Elections Committee attributed the large increase in the amount of candidates running for office to the increase in public awareness about elections and the open seats. The Student Senate, according to the Student Government website, “is comprised of 64 students who proportionally represent each of the university’s schools and colleges, including under-
graduates, graduates and non-degree students.” The Senate has six primary committees that focus on several areas of student concern: academics, campus community, finance, government operations, public affairs and university affairs. Read statements from 17 of the 35 first-year candidates and all three of the graduate candidates below. The remaining candidates did not respond by press time. Elected senators will vote and give feedback to university officials regarding the concerns of the student body, including opening and closing times of dining halls, tuition increases, interdisciplinary events, lectures and more.
Kyle Gault “My goal, if I got elected, would be to make sure students’ opinions are not only heard, but they actually have an impact.”
Logan Graham “If elected, I will be dedicated and passionate and will strive to represent the first-year students on the Senate floor.”
Mackenzie Mims “ If I am elected to the First-Year Senate, I will ensure that any decision that I make while a part of the Senate is justifiable for each and every first-year student, as well as every student in the student body of NC State.”
John Medeiros “My vision for NC State is all students across the different departments and colleges working together on research and service.”
Molly Mueller “As a student senator, my endeavor would be to open my ears to the Wolfpack, for we are but the vehicles for the voice of the student body.”
“As a senator, I plan to ‘bridge the gap’ between Student Government and the rest of the student body by creating more interest and involvement.”
Ryan Kissinger “I hope to use my influence to stimulate discussion, proactive student involvement and a sense of responsibility in the student body of NC State.”
Sophia McMahan “ If elected, I would advocate that dining halls reopen from 11:30–12:30 a.m. for “midnight snacks” and vote to improve lighting around Carmichael Gym at night.”
Caroline Moody “If am elected a First-Year Student Senator, I will strive to extend NC State’s tradition of excellence by increasing funds for student-led initiatives, fostering the celebration of campus involvement and diversity and addressing the concerns of my fellow classmates.”
Adam Skrzecz
GRADUATE CANDIDATES “I was in student senate the past few years as an undergraduate, and this year I’m running for a graduate seat. We’re looking into the current GEP model at NC State to see if it offers enough flexibility to fulfill the needs of current students and continues to provide true exposure to different themes like U.S. Diversity, Global Knowledge, etc.”
“If elected I will strive to ensure the ideas and concerns of the graduate student body are heard by the university. As a senator, I will work to make Student Government more transparent and accessible to graduate students.”
Matt Yanik
Tyler Hatch “As senator, I will ensure that our student body’s tuition and fees are appropriated suitably to ensure that our university, the place we call home, remains a top-rated institute across the globe. If elected, I will be a transparent and approachable representative that will be open to any and all suggestions from the student body.”
The ultimate role of Student Senate is to be the student voice to the University administration. For more information on the elections process or the role of Student Senate, visit their website: http://sg.students.ncsu.edu/elections/.

Chocolate festival melts hearts for Coach Yow Megan Shope Correspondent
NC State Women’s Center hosted its 12t h A nnual Chocolate Festival in honor of Coach Kay Yow and breast cancer research. The Wolfpack community traded in their red for pink ribbons in support of breast cancer. As part of parents and family weekend, the festival was a way to bring students and their beloved together, but also, on a larger scale, to welcome these families to one even bigger: The Wolfpack family. More than 1,500 people of all ages attended the celebration, and Talley Student Union’s State Ballroom was packed with participants filling up their pink boxes with chocolate sweets. Certain chocolate vendors’ tables, such as Gigi’s Cupcakes and Insomnia Cookies, were so popular that attendants had to wait in long lines to get their pastries. Some cupcake and cookie stands ran out of supplies before 7 p.m., 30 minutes before the Chocolate Festival ended. Catherine Miller, an NC State mom was shocked that the crowd wouldn’t stop talking and giggling when Ashley Simons-Rudolph, director of the Women’s Center was reminding the crowd of the purpose of the Chocolate Festival and presenting a video of Coach Kay Yow. She described the scene as “absolute disrespect for Coach Yow and the Wolfpack Family.” However, she said this incident shouldn’t be what she will remember of the festival and that the “wide feeling of compassion coming from the vendors and other chocoholics” was more mean-

Some families, students, mothers and children who attended the festival shared their stories. “I saw [one of the children] tearing up; I just gave her a hug,” Miller said. Simons-Rudolph said the event was “made for them.” In the photo booth at the Women’s Center table, attendants could take pictures with funny, original, creative and meaningful handmade props such as
mustaches, pink cowboy hats, bows or crowns, but also signs that carried messages such as “supporter,” “lover,” “fighter,” “here for the chocolate,” “I love NC State” or “that’s what a survivor looks like.” Members of the Kay Yow Cancer Fund loved the idea and even took the props in the picture for further inspiration. Pictures taken at the photo booth were displayed on big screens during the celebration and will be posted on NC State Women’s Center’s Facebook page. The amount of donations had not yet been totaled by press time.

The impact of social media on student life T
oday’s world is a global village. Everyone is connected to one another in this vast network generated by the Internet. As said by Marshall McLuhan, a philosopher Abhishek of communication theoKaradkar ry, “The new electronic Correspondent independence re-creates the world in the image of a global village.” This electronic independence is inherently dependent upon the Internet. It illuminates the lives of thousands of people by spreading knowledge internationally, thereby making us global citizens. In the past, the communicating and free sharing of thoughts among people were restricted by long distance, nationality and/or religion. But now, even these barriers cannot stop the f low of information and knowledge. The new world of social networking allows free sharing of thoughts. Online social networks are created by websites such as Facebook, which has emerged as a giant in this social world. So how do these networks affect our education? How do they inf luence the lives of students? Humans are social animals. We always like to remain in some group or another, and we prefer to follow what this group does. All of our traditions and cultures are the product of this group-oriented facet of human nature.
“Never before has it been so easy for young minds to create a digital image of their actions through such a spontaneous medium.” A well-known American psychologist, Abraham Maslow, stated in his “Theory of Motivation” that the social need of human beings is the third most important requirement after our physical and safety needs — the third tier in his hierarchy of needs. Even our self-esteem comes after this social dependence. This is the main reason billions of people use social networking to stay connected, make friends and satisfy their social needs. As of 2015 the world’s largest social networking company, Facebook, has 1.49 billion active users, and the number of users is increasing every year. One of the most interesting things to look at is the increasing number of student users on such social networking sites. As per the survey conducted by Pew Research Center, 72 percent of high school and 78 percent of college students spend time on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. These numbers indicate how much the student community is involved in this virtual world of social networking. Actually, many reasons exist that explain why students love to spend time socializing. Firstly, social networks provide them the freedom to do whatever they want — to upload what they want and talk to whom they want. They like to make new friends and comment on the lives of different people. Students can create other online identities that the real world does not allow. The freedom it gives them to act just by sitting in front of a computer enthralls them, and they then demand for more freedom. Never before has it been so easy for young minds to create a digital image of their actions through such a spontaneous medium. But this has a darker side that has gained the attention of many parents, and even eminent psychologists, all over the world. One of the biggest problems is the identity crisis constant social networking produces. As said by Professor S. Shyam
Sunder, a renowned researcher at Penn State, “The types of actions users take and the kinds of information they are adding to their profiles are a ref lection of their identities.” Many psychologists are worried about the identity crisis that our present generation may face today. The lives of people, especially students, are largely influenced by what is posted by other people on their profiles. The habits that students learn are decided more by what their friends do and less by the teachings of parents or professors. Our students have become prone to frequent fluctuations in mood and self-control. If one of a student’s friends posted about his or her present relationship with someone, then other friends are pressed to do the same thing. Actions that attract more public attention hold more value, even despite some of them being immoral or illegal. We even see that many students are worried about their looks, and so they always try to upload nicer pictures than their friends. A recent survey has stated that whenever someone uploads a profile picture, it immediately affects the moods of friends. It often produces stress, anxiety or fear about their identities as people. Consistently thinking in this way can sometimes lead to depression. The most important things in a student’s life are studying, learning good habits and gaining knowledge to become a person with moral character. But today, as we see in various studies, this optimal learning process is seriously jeopardized by students becoming entrapped by the ploys of social networking. Students neglect their studies by spending time on social networking websites rather than studying or interacting with people in person. Actively and frequently participating in social networking can negatively affect their grades or hamper their journeys to their future careers. Getting too involved in social media can lead to an addiction that inculcates bad habits. Students prefer to chat with friends for hours, and this leads to a waste of time that could have been used for studying, playing or learning new skills. It is often said that a long-term friendship or relationship is developed when people meet each other, spend time and share their experiences. But this virtual way of communicating with each other does not lead to a natural, friendly experience and hence cannot produce a healthy relationship with those friends. Also, these relationships tend to terminate easily due to a lack of personal contact. The system generates a competition to make as many new friends as possible and the so-called “social quotient” of a person is decided by how many friends they have and not on how good-natured and congenial the person really is. Often, students who are not old enough to accurately analyze the world “like” or comment on social or political issues, and this leads sometimes to serious controversies. Considering all of the above pros and cons, it is necessary to develop certain regulations over the use of such social networking sites, especially for high school and college students. But still, students should get the choice to spend time socializing in an effective way. It should not hamper their school or college performance, and it should be kept in mind that social networking sites create virtual worlds that drastically differ from reality. Students should develop the cognitive and intuitive ability to analyze how much time they want to spend on social media. It is left up to the students to decide what really matters in their life and how much of this virtual life translates to real life.

Catholic Church trades grace for guilt I
recently saw a story about Pope Francis’ decision to allow priests to forgive women who have had an abortion during a special year of mercy as long as they are contrite. It is decisions James and statements like this that Twiddy have led many people in Correspondent recent years to move away from organized religion and into a more personal style of faith and spirituality. Let’s look at this particular concept in order to better understand why things like this turn people away from the Catholic Church. Firstly, the idea of a special year of mercy seems to be rather subjective and is only one example of the church’s proclamations that seem to be for the sake of convenience more than anything. Secondly, it bases the gift of grace on guilt. One thing that has turned people off to both the Catholic Church and organized religion in general is the seemingly arbitrary nature of many of its decisions. It seems the church makes many decisions based on what is convenient for it at the time rather than from Holy Scripture or some other objective source like many spiritual or religious people may prefer. This reminds me of when the church wanted to make Mother Teresa a saint. At the time, the official rule was that in order to become a saint, evidence of responsibility for two miracles needed to be apparent. However, Mother Teresa only had one miracle, so an exception was made in her case. This is an example of the Catholic Church doing something purely for the sake of convenience. This rule change and the special year of mercy both parallel many decisions the Catholic Church has made. This con-

It opens adults’ eyes to the need for more alcohol abstinence education. It also educates adults that students should be able to “speak freely to parents and even doctors about drinking habits.” This affects myself as well as many others. Many freshmen are not exposed to the absurd amounts of excess drinking on campus. It is a big deal because these accidents are serious and lead to many deaths each year. This could result in a huge loss for a family, as well as peers. I completely agree with your article. New actions need to be taken to eliminate alcohol-related

RE: ‘Don’t flee, get help’

cept of convenience is hard to swallow for anyone who seeks objective truth, because if something can change based on such arbitrary terms, then it must not be objective. Objective truth is what draws people to religion and spirituality, and arbitrary decision-making contradicts that. It is clear in this day and age that abortion is becoming more and more commonly accepted. While we continue to observe a still raging debate on the subject, it seems like society within the United States is moving rapidly toward the acceptance of abortion as a legitimate medical practice as well as ethically permissible. For this reason it is clear why the Catholic Church’s position against abortion is problematic for many people, especially within the U.S. But, there is a second layer to the Catholic Church’s position on abortion that is truly frustrating. It is the idea that abortions may be forgiven for those women who are contrite — in other words, for those women who feel guilty. This is the exchange of grace for guilt. Whether you are for or against abortion, this should be unsettling. We don’t want to encourage guilt in anyone and especially not someone in that position. This concept of grace for guilt essentially is about shaming those who have decided an abortion is the best choice for them. This asserts the idea that those who have made that decision should be ashamed and feel guilty. If they do not, then they have no hope for mercy. This idea should be unsettling whether you consider yourself pro-choice or pro-life. This shaming by the church has led to many religious people turning to a more personal spirituality. And not for lack of reason.

violations, and more alcohol awareness courses should be available to students so they become exposed to these events before a serious tragedy occurs. Even though NC State requires AlcoholEdu, I believe that State should require a hands-on class that teaches students to perform aiding tasks, such as CPR. State should also give students specific instructions on how to take control in serious situations, such as with the unconscious female at the game. I completely agree with your article, and I agree that NC State needs to take this matter into its own hands. State needs to work on lessening or eliminating alcohol-related student conduct violations. Sincerely, A Concerned Freshman Kelsey Brown Freshman, Exploratory Studies

But how much Michael do you rea l ly k now O’Connell about your major? Do Guest Columnist you know what people like you do for a living after college? Are you sure that’s what you want? Do you have what it takes? It’s one thing to think Subject X is fascinating; it’s a completely different thing to do Job X for a living. When I was a freshman, I thought I knew myself and what I wanted. I was a star musician in my high school, thought I wanted to teach music for a living. But then I started to learn about myself — the hard way. For example, it took months of speech therapy to learn I have a very weak speaking voice — bad news if you’re going to be a teacher. I also learned that I am an introvert and that I get stressed out being around people all day. Senior, know thyself. Are you a year from entering the workforce? Did you love your classes and professors? Great! But a job is nothing like school. Do you know what kind of work environment you need to thrive? Do you prefer details or the big picture? Do you work best independently or on a team? Are you heading toward Job X simply because that’s what people who study Subject X do? Or are you headed to grad school because you realized Job X sounds awful and you need a Ph.D. to get Job Y? Are you sure Job Y is what you really want? When I was a senior, I did a serious 180. I liked Subject X, but Job X was definitely not for me. I went from studying music education to studying chemical engineering. I felt like a freshman all over again, and I thought I knew myself. I thought
I needed to be in a more technical field, something that involved mathematics, something that would give me a steady job that didn’t involve large classrooms and hours of public speaking. When I again realized that Subject X and Job X were totally different, I went to grad school to head for Job Y, because, why not? Which brings me to now. I am a graduate student; I am about to graduate, and now Job Y sounds awful to me again. I think, “What’s wrong with me? How is this happening all over again?” And I finally realize it’s because I don’t know myself.
“Learn from me: There are so many resources available to help you know yourself better.” Learn from me: There are so many resources available to help you know yourself better.

You might be very surprised, and even if you aren’t, you will probably learn some very valuable information. I did, and I’m so thankful! I often scratch my head at why no one ever told me about resources like these. I could have used this information a long time ago, and I don’t want you to learn the hard way like I had to. So I’m telling you, right here, right now. Don’t be like me, undergraduate. Know thyself.

S
o you know that thing you learn to do after you crawl when you’re little? That’s right, walking. You mastered Missy it when you were 2. As the Furman catchy song in the Christmas Correspondent cartoon puts it, “Just put one foot in front of the other.” You should try it sometime! Really, it’s not that difficult. Living at Wolf Village this year on the edge of campus, it can be tempting to just ride the Wolfline. Budgeting an extra twenty minutes (one way) to walk to Talley just to pick up a coffee from Port City Java or a binder at the bookstore doesn’t seem all that practical. I pass the crowded bus stop every day and see clusters of students waiting to be picked up and driven to their desired location on NC State’s large campus. It’s not a bad idea. The bus rides are free, so why not? But depending on the Wolfline for all of your travels on campus forces you to miss out on all the great benefits of walking. As an English and communication major, the bulk of my classes this semester are over in Tompkins. You know, that building over near the Memorial Bell Tower. The Bell Tower is one of the farthest campus landmarks from my apartment building in Wolf Village. I’ve had my fair share of long walks back and forth. On these long walks though, I can get some quality time to check out what’s been happening around campus. Passing through the brickyard allows me to see all the student tents set up, giving out free shirts or encouraging sign ups for State’s next big thing. Passing by Miller allows me to check out the recreational sports games going on outside, hearing the cheering and panting and sportsmanship radiating from the fields. Even passing by my old dorm allows me to realize all that has happened since last semester. It’s exciting to be immersed in the campus culture and following the bricks to your next destination, one step at a time.
That’s not something you can do on the bus. The longer walks have also become a convenient time for me to call my parents and give them the 4-1-1 on what I’ve been up to. Your parents want to hear from you, Wolfpack. Whether you leave what you did last night out of the conversation is up to you, but it wouldn’t hurt to just check in and say hi even if you don’t miss them. Trust me, they miss you – and come on, you know you miss them too. Not forgetting the most beneficial aspect of walking: it’s great exercise. Maybe you didn’t gain the freshman-fifteen, but we collegians don’t always eat the most nutritious meals or make time for the gym. You have to go to class anyway, and here’s a perfect opportunity to tack on some miles of exercise to your week. Getting even just a little physical fitness into your day will make you feel more accomplished and will even help you focus. Get your feet moving and your brain will get moving too. By the time you wait for bus to come and make all of its stops along the way, you can probably get there in just a little extra time anyway. I’m not saying you have to walk everywhere you go on campus, but some students never walk. If it’s raining, take the bus. The bricks are slippery enough to make you trip on sunny days, not to mention when there are puddles covering them. You will surely hydroplane and your public wipeout will probably make YikYak within the next few seconds. If it’s 112 degrees—like it sometimes feels here in Raleigh—take the bus. Your roommate will thank you for it when you don’t come back in a sweat-soaked t-shirt that crawls itself to your laundry basket. If it’s super windy or freezing or you just pulled an all-nighter or you overslept through your alarm, take the bus. It’s never a bad thing to enjoy a little cruise around State on the Wolfline. Just don’t take it every time. You’ll be glad you didn’t.
‘Politically correct’—a pejorative that doesn’t make sense W
e live in a culture that celebrates the concept of celebrity. Statues of Beyoncé and Ryan Gosling m ay not be erected on pedestals, but reMary Anna Rice minders Opinion Editor of t h e i r apparent godliness surround us. Their faces are plastered on posters, their bodies serve as means of advertisement, their words act as inspiration for millions of impressionable young people. These affects are not what we might consider to be traditional forms of worship, but they are forms nonetheless. Zeus and Hera fight over
his multiple af fairs and Nick i Minaj and Taylor Swift bicker over intersectional feminism. The personal conflicts of celebrities entrance and entertain the masses, and when celebrities air out their political views under the gaze of the public eye, controversy arises. In the last few years, two notewor t hy trends have surfaced in the pool of relevant celebrities: the rise of young-female celebrities pronouncing themselves feminists and the increase in the number of older male celebrities pushing back against “PC culture” (“PC” meaning “politically correct” here). Not that these t wo are the only trends that stand out (the upsurge in celebrity scientologists would also be worth look-
ing into), but they are worth look ing into because of their seeming correlation. Jerr y Seinfeld recent ly told ESPN radio, “I don’t play colleges, but I hear a lot of people tell me, ‘Don’t go near colleges. They’re so PC.’” He continued on to lament that us college students “just want to use these words : ‘That’s racist;’ ‘That’s sexist;’ ‘That’s prejudice.’ They don’t know what the hell they’re talking about.” Seinfeld’s take on college students is nearly as misinformed as his perspective on the term “politically correct.” (Though one has to wonder what, exactly, Seinfeld imagined he would come under fire for. Perhaps his revolutionary ideas on airline food?) The voices denouncing “PC culture” are not few
a nd fa r bet ween. Ma ny performers lament the obstacles they now apparently confront in having to make their material not actively offensive. “Comedian” Nicole Arbour recently encountered criticism for her video, “Dear Fat People,” in which she shames a significant portion of our population. Charming. The video was removed from YouTube. Arbour’s tweet after this blasphemy reads, “We literally broke the Internet… With comedy. #censorship.” The problem most performers seem to have with “PC nonsense” (a s Mr. Seinfeld so lovingly puts it) is that it limits comedy, acting as a form of #censorship (as Ms. Arbour so lovingly puts it). A more appropriate way to phrase it would
be that political correctness limits cheap comedy. It limits comedy that aims at low-ha nging f ruit. It limits comedy that relies on demeaning people who are already systematically demeaned. While the number of celebrities who openly identif y as feminists and encourage political correctness continues to grow, so does the backlash against this movement. So what specifically is this backlash against? Essentia lly, people are mad because they want to be able to say whatever they want to say without attracting criticism. Which is a strange thing to ask for in the wake of their demanding they be able to criticize whomever they please. Additionally, this “fight”
against “PC culture” can’t be said to be for the sake of preserving comedy if said comedy relies on antiquated stereotypes that no longer effectively cause people to laugh. If college students no longer enjoy watching your stand-up, you can’t blame the concept of political correctness for making them immune to a pure comic intellect. You can blame yourself for not being funny, for not successfully appealing to your audience. Many college students have moved past comedy that degrades in order to fetch a smile; maybe you should as well. So, I’m sorry, NC State. Jerry Seinfeld won’t be hitting us up anytime soon. We care too much about people’s feelings.

TV on the Radio puts on a high-energy performance during Hopscotch. The music festival hosted 140 bands over three days in downtown Raleigh from Sept. 10 - 12.

Triangle college radio stations come together Sam Roberson Features Editor
One of the community favorites of Hopscotch is the day parties. These free events that take place before the main festival starts for the night are independently organized and draw not only a diverse group of musical acts, but fans as well. This year, NC State’s student radio station, WKNC, collaborated with Duke’s station, WXDU, as well as UNCChapel Hill’s WXYC, for a day party at King’s Barcade and Neptunes. The original idea for a collaborative event came from Duke WXDU general manager, Jack Mercola. For the past four years, WXDU had teamed up with North Carolina label, Three Lobed Records to host shows in King’s Barcade during the festival. This year, when Three Lobed decided to no longer host, Mercola thought to invite other Triangle-area student stations to contribute. “I definitely felt responsible for carrying on the WXDU day party,” Mercola said. After exchanging emails and meeting up in coffee shops and diners, with WKNC general manager, Matt Brown, and WXYC’s Outreach Coordinator, Cozy Brents, the three stations worked together to bring a diverse lineup to the venues. “We all have a different sound,” Mercola said. “I thought it would be interesting for festivalgoers to hear the sounds from three differ-
ent college stations.” Most day parties during Hopscotch are put on by venues or record labels. The college stations ended up booking King’s Barcade, as well as the basement venue in the same building, Neptunes. With two stages to work with, the radio stations were able to cater to different genres with more upbeat and DJ-centered sets downstairs and more rock and band-oriented music upstairs. In all, eight different acts played sets between both stages. “It was almost like our own mini festival,” Brown said. A lthough it may seem ambitious for college radio stations to organize events alongside record labels and established venues, Mercola considers it one of the responsibilities of a college radio station to expose students to the outside community, as well as be a feature of the local music scene. “The people who listen to college radio are a lot of the people who would buy a ticket to Hopscotch,” Brents said. However, there can be challenges to integrating a university organization into the community. Neptunes, a bar and usually 21-and-up venue, originally had said it would keep its age restrictions for the party. According to Brown, there were a lot of talks with the managers to be able to open the venue up to those not of drinking age. “That was something important to us,” Brown said. “A lot of our staff are under 21, and we wanted them to

be able to come out.” Neptunes agreed to allow for the day party to be 18 and up. “It’s not on purpose; there are a lot of laws for shows in bars and minors,” Brents said. “It can be an alienating factor for young people at music venues.” The event was successful in its first incarnation, at least enough that all of the catered food for 300 people was gone within a half hour, according to Brown. “This was our first time all coming together for something,” Brown said. “I think it led to a super diverse lineup.”

The 3-day marathon: a Hopscotch experience Nathan Forbes WKNC Correspondent
When I f irst started to plan my route for Hopscotch I was super a mbitious. I thought that I would ride my bike between venues to cut down on my travel time. Every 30 minutes I would zip across town to watch a different band. Unfortunately, the night before Hopscotch began, tragedy struck. While moving a TV, I ended up doing terrible things to my foot. My Hopscotch plans went f rom zipping across the city to deciding what ven-
ue to hunker down in for the night. When the shows started, I became an expert at f inding seats. A lmost anything can be a chair if you are dedicated enough. The stairs at Slims, the PA at Deep South and the table at Tir-Na-Nog were all nice enough to host my rear. Despite not being very mobile, my Hopscotch was still enjoyable. I was even able to see most of the bands I wanted. Godspeed You! Black Emperor was the act that I was most looking forward to at Hopscotch. I was a bit skeptical that the band’s music
wouldn’t translate well in an outdoor setting, given the wealth of instrumentation and intricacies. However, year after year, the people who plan Hopscotch book ma ssive-sou nd i ng bands that ring through the Ra leigh streets, and Godspeed was no exception. As the band began to pick up its musical momentum, rain began to fall. Despite crew members scrambling around the stage to protect the equipment, the music never stopped. Their set lasted about t wo hours, but never wore tired. Surprisingly, everything came
through clear, and the band sounded amazing. Saturday night also had a couple of big highlights for me. On a whim, I decided to check out Cloud Becomes Your Hand because I had never heard the band’s music before. The group was playing at The Hive, and it was perhaps my favorite surprise of the weekend. The band’s music is chaotic with odd time signatures and interesting pauses. It well deserves the description “experimental.” When I left the set to see Waxahatchee, I had a moment of astonishment that
the band I was hearing in the street was actually playing in Raleigh and in such a small second-story club. Owen Pallet was one of the artists that I was looking forward to seeing the most. So, when I heard that he wasn’t playing anymore, I was definitely bummed. However, his replacement, Katie Crutchfield of Waxahatchee, put on far and away the most inspiring set that I saw at Hopscotch. Crutchf ield told the crowd that she didn’t know she was play ing the festiva l just 48 hours prior to her set. Yet, she took Fletcher Op-
era House’s big, open stage with what seemed like ease and began her set with my favorite song of hers, “Catf ish.” Even though I left Fletcher early to see Godf lesh, I wish I had stayed to watch Crutchfield’s full set. But that’s the nature of Hopscotch. You’ll make mistakes. You’ll miss out on things. You make compromises. But what you get in the end is your own unique experience of an a lways great music festival that’s just 10 minutes away.

Sophomore running back Jaylen Samuels rushes 12 yards for a touchdown against Eastern Kentucky Saturday. Samuels finished the game with three carries for 24 yards and six receptions for 88 yards receiving. NC State shut out the Eastern Kentucky Colonels 35-0 in Carter-Finley Stadium.

9-of-11 plays, concluded by a third touchdown rush from Matt Dayes, sealing the deal 35-0. This allowed redshirt freshman quarterback Jalan McClendon to come in the game for the final two drives and get some valuable playing time in relief of Brissett. Brissett ended the game with 216 yards and one touchdown on 17-of-22. Dayes carried the ball 24 times for 116 yards and three touchdowns. Samuels was all over the field with six catches for 88 yards and three carries for 24 yards and a touchdown. Ramos had another solid game, leading all receivers with seven catches for 95 yards. “We’re at about 450 yards passing and 450 yards rushing, so I’m really impressed with how balanced our offense is,” Doeren
said. “Dayes now has back-to-back 100yard games, and Ramos and Samuels both showed up and had a great game catching the football.” On the game, the Wolfpack defense forced eight three-and-outs in 10 total series. Graduate safety Hakim Jones led the team with five tackles, including one for a loss. Sophomore defensive tackle B.J. Hill had four tackles, three for a loss and one sack. As a team, State had seven tackles for a loss of 23 yards. “We only had one tackle for a loss last week, so we came out more aggressive today,” Hill said. “The offense had a slow start, so we had to pick it up so they could get back on the field as much as possible and put some points on the board.” The Wolfpack looks to continue its winning streak as it travels to Old Dominion next weekend for a Saturday night matchup at 7 p.m.

really pleased with that ... We created plenty of chances; we just need to work on finishing.” Junior midf ielder Yanni Hachem and sophomore midfielder Zach Knudson both missed good opportunities in the first half, which ended up being a theme in the match. State did not put the game to bed early, and the Eagles capitalized in the 52nd minute, earning a scrappy goal on the counter attack. “Especially with us being a young team, I think it’s key to be level-headed in that moment,” said senior captain Holden Fender about encouraging the team after going down a goal. “The guys don’t need to be yelled at then. We were playing fine, we were getting chances and all we needed was somebody to step in. I just told the guys, ‘Look, it’s gonna come. Just put the chance away when we get it.’ Fortunately, Ade was there when the ball bounced out, and he put it in the back of the net.”

NC State pushed for the equalizer and found it in the 67th minute. This time, a cross from the left was flicked on by graduate forward Phil Carmon, and Taiwo slammed it home at the back post for his first career goal. “It’s been two years since I’ve scored a goal, and it felt like last year I was getting closer and closer and then I got hurt again,” Taiwo said. “I got hurt the fifth game last year, and this was the fifth game this year. I was like ‘please just get me through this game.’ Next thing you know, the ball drops from Phil, and I hit it in. My first reaction was to look at the linesman, no flag. I didn’t even know where to celebrate so I just ran to my teammates. That’s all I could do.” With the momentum regained, the Wolfpack pushed for the winner. At home and having dominated the game, a draw would have been a disappointing result, but at the end of 90, the score remained knotted at 1-1, forcing extra time. In overtime, McCauley made a crucial save, denying Boston College forward Simon En-
with 15 kills and Cormier, and Ramsey put down nine kills. Speaks also had a match high, racking up 49 assists and 16 digs. The team will again be put to the test this coming weekend in the DoubleTree Classic, held at home in Carmichael Gymnasium.

strom from close range, but other than that chance, the game was played almost exclusively in the Eagles’ end, and NC State missed several chances to finish the game. With two minutes left, however, NC State produced a fine example of combination play. Blotko started the move, passing into Knudson, who deftly flicked the ball between his legs to freshman midfielder Julius Duchscherer. Duchscherer played Blotko in down the right, and the German right back’s cross across goal was rocketed home by Duvernay. “Our new formation lets me get up the field quite a bit,” said Duvernay about getting his second goal of the season. “I’m goal hungry, so I’ve been wanting to score a lot. Chances are there and goals are coming, so hopefully there’s more to it.” With the victory, NC State equals its ACC win total from 2014 and makes it four wins in five on the season. The Pack takes on Wofford at home Tuesday with sights set on a fifth win.

Pack crushes Colonels in shutout Women’s soccer defeats Davidson in overtime The NC State women’s soccer team climbed back to .500 on the season Sunday afternoon at Davidson, defeating the Wildcats 2-1 in overtime. Redshirt sophomore forward Jackie Stengel scored the decisive goal in the 105th minute to give the Wolfpack (4-4-0) the win, which breaks a twomatch losing streak. Just back from injury, sophomore midfielder/defender Cailyn Boch gave NC State a 1-0 lead in the 71st minute following a scoreless first half. The Wildcats (1-5-0) would equalize shortly after, which sent the match to extra time. Stengel’s golden goal was her third goal of the year, which ties her for first in scoring with redshirt junior Alexa Allen. The Wolfpack travels to Coastal Carolina Wednesday for its final non-conference clash of the year. SOURCE: NC STATE ATHLETICS

The NC State football team continued its early season dominance Saturday night with a 35-0 victory over the Eastern Kentucky Colonels at Carter-Finley Stadium. The Wolfpack (2-0, 0-0 ACC) dominated the Colonels (1-1, 0-0 OVC) on both sides of the ball but looked improved defensively from last week’s contest. NC State held EKU to seven first downs and 112 total yards, handing the Colonels their first shutout since 2006. The Pack moved the ball effectively on its first offensive series, but penalties stalled the drive in the red zone, where freshman kicker Kyle Bambard’s 33-yard field goal was blocked by Eastern Kentucky. State again had its way moving the ball on its second series until redshirt sophomore Dakwa Nichols fumbled the ball, giving the Colonels a great starting field position on their own 42-yard line. Redshirt senior quarterback Jacoby Brissett led a mistake-free drive to open the second quarter, finding wide-open senior tight end Benson Browne in the end zone and giving the Pack a 7-0 lead. After the Wolfpack defense forced three straight three-and-outs to open the game, EKU finally recorded a first down with less than 13 minutes left in the second quarter.

The Wolfpack defense comes together to take down an Eastern Kentucky player during the 35-0 shutout against the Colonels in Carter-Finley Stadium Saturday. The win was NC State’s second in as many games this season.
Sophomore fullback Jaylen Samuels scored his fourth touchdown of the young season on a 12-yard rush, capping off a 10-play, 75-yard drive to extend the Wolfpack lead to 14-0. The Colonels finally found offensive success late in the first half, moving the ball all the way down to the NC State 2-yard line, before the NC State defense came up with four straight stops, resulting in a turnover on downs. “I’m proud of the defense for [pitching] a shutout,” head coach
Dave Doeren said. “They forced eight three-and-outs on 10 series, so I’m really impressed there.” It took the Pack only 1:29 and four plays to march 70 yards down the field to start the second half. Two plays after Samuels broke multiple tackles, gaining 31 yards on a pass play, junior running back Matt Dayes scored on a 25-yard run, making the score 21-0. Later in the third quarter, junior wide receiver Bra’Lon Cherry returned an EKU punt a career-long
38 yards, setting up State with the ball at the Colonel’s 37 yard line. Brissett completed a 15-yard pass on fourth down to junior wide receiver Jumichael Ramos, to extend the Wolfpack drive. Dayes gave the Pack a 28-0 lead, finishing the drive with a 1-yard touchdown run, his second of the night. State was content to eat up clock the following drive, using more than seven minutes of it by rushing on

Men’s soccer earns comeback win in ACC opener Jordan Beck Sports Editor
The NC State men’s soccer team recorded its first ACC win of the season Friday night against Boston College, coming back from behind to win by golden goal in double overtime. After going down 1-0 in the 52nd minute, the Wolfpack (4-1-0, 1-0 ACC) climbed back into the match through sophomore forward Ade Taiwo, whose goal in the 67th minute leveled the score. The game headed to overtime, and with just 1:48 left in the second OT period, sophomore defender Caleb Duvernay completed the comeback, securing a 2-1 win over the Eagles (3-2-0, 0-1 ACC) at Dail Soccer Field. “I thought we got what we deserved,” NC State head coach Kelly Findley said. “We should’ve been up a few goals going into the half, and we weren’t … In the end, I’m really pleased with coming back from giving the goal away, especially when we could’ve scored in the
first couple of minutes to start the second half. But I thought we got exactly what we deserved. We had most of the ball, we defended well, our transition was excellent, the effort was great, and we only rotated four guys in the game, so to have guys play about 110 minutes was excellent.” The Pack dominated possession and chances created. NC State had six corner kicks to BC’s one and had five clear chances, while the Eagles managed three shots that didn’t trouble senior Pack goalkeeper Alex McCauley’s net. “Tactically, we wanted to have possession of the ball, we talked about that, and keep our tempo high,” Findley said. “We knew they would get pinned back, and then we had to transition really well. I thought we did a great job of that. In the first half they were deep, deep, deep in their half, and when we gave it away we got to it and won it back, so I was

Junior libero Rachel Eppley celebrates a point against Ole Miss. The Wolfpack lost the fiveset match Sept. 4 in Carmichael Gym.
The NC State volleyball team went 3-0 at the Tulane Tournament in New Orleans during the weekend, winning against Nicholls State, Tulane and Incarnate Word in the Allstate Sugar Bowl Collegiate Classic. Both the Nicholls State and Tulane matches went to four sets, and the Incarnate Word game was a thrilling five setter, but NC State ended up with wins in all three matches. “It was a good learning experience for us,” head coach Bryan Bunn said. “Playing on the road and being away from home for a few days gets us prepared for the ACC season.” The Wolfpack contained Nicholls State to 15 points in the first set in its match Friday night. The
Colonels fought back in the second set, and the score was tied 13 times before the Pack fell 22-25. NC State dominated the third set, holding the Colonels to 12 points. The fourth set was a back-andforth contest. Neither team led by more than four points throughout. Freshman Blayke Hranicka’s kill took the fourth set for the Wolfpack against Nicholls State. She totaled 14 kills on the night. Sophomore Kaitlyn Kearney tallied 17 kills, and junior setter Maggie Speaks had 39 assists. NC State faced off against Tulane for the first time in team history midday on Saturday. The Wolfpack took the first set with a strong start by senior Morgan Cormier, who had three service aces. Tulane rebounded in the second set, tying the score with State 15 times throughout
before taking it 27-25. NC State regrouped and took a lead, 20-12, with kills by Cormier and freshman Sarah Konchan clinching the third set for State 25-17. The Pack immediately took a 9-3 lead in the fourth set, and after a couple of timeouts by both sides, extended that lead to 17-9. The Wolfpack took the set 25-19. Kearney had one of her best games, tallying 19 kills and 12 blocks, as did classmate Perry Ramsey, making 13 kills in the match. Senior setter Tanna Aljoe had seven digs and Speaks made 42 assists. “She did fantastic and had a great weekend,” Bunn said about Kearney. “She struggled a little early tonight, but bounced back and really played well. Kaitlyn’s blocking has also been great recently, so she’s contributing a lot offensively and defensively.”
Match three of the weekend was against Incarnate Word, and it was the second match of the season to go to five sets. “We didn’t play well early in the match and they took it to us,” Bunn said. “We rebounded in the third and fourth sets and then took care of business in the fifth set. Fortunately, we were able to regroup to win the match.” NC State lost the first two sets of the game, 18-25 and 16-25, but rallied and took the third set in stride, winning 25-14. The fourth set was a nail-biter, but the Pack took it 28-26. NC State was back in its rhythm in the fifth set, taking the set 15-12 and the game 3-2. Hranicka had a career-best match with a total of 16 kills at the net. Kearney came through
