The Panthers’ Benjamin out for season
The Carolina Panthers’ former first round draft pick Kelvin Benjamin suffered a seasonending knee injury during practice Wednesday. During a pass-catching drill, he cut right on the route and went down untouched, clutching his left knee. The injury was later determined to be due to a torn ACL. According to reports, Benjamin was having the best camp of the offensive skill players and came into camp looking leaner, running faster and showing precision in his movements. As a rookie, Benjamin was inconsistent but productive, catching 73 passes for 1,008 yards and nine touchdowns. Without Benjamin, the Panthers plan to focus more on tight ends.

Last spring, a handful of NC State students founded Undercover Colors, a company that creates date-rape drug detecting nail polishes. However, due to lack of funds the group was unable to put its product on the market; but now, Undercover Colors received funding from an angel investor that will allow it to complete its research and development. The kind of funding that Undercover Colors will receive is similar to that of Shark Tank. Angel investors who believe in a product or service give their money to start-up companies in the hopes that they will get a return on their investment and help the young company succeed. Tyler Maloney, one of the founders, explained his excitement about the funding. “This is a huge milestone for us,” Maloney. “It takes a great deal of advanced science to make a novel product like this. If all goes as planned, our most recent funding round will enable us to finish our research and development.” Undercover Colors was intended to protect those who wear it from date rape. The nail polish changes color when it comes in contact with a spiked drink, which will allow consumers to know whether certain types of drugs are present in the beverage or not, according to Maloney. Approximately 20-25 percent of women are victims of rape or attempted rape during the course

Fear not gym bros — Carmichael still offers lots Inez Nicholson News Editor
No matter what time of day, it seems as if the Carmichael Recreation Center is nearly filled to capacity and teeming with students fighting for dumbbells, cardio machines or a squat rack. But fear not, gym-lovers of NC State. The construction happening at Carmichael Gymnasium with the men’s and women’s locker rooms, the weight rooms and cardio rooms will be revamped and ready to go by February 2016, if construction stays at pace, according to Jason
Spivey, associate director of University Recreation. However, new additions will be phased in throughout this semester. By October, the main entrance is expected to reopen access to Courts 1-8, multipurpose studios 1206, 1207 and 1240. By November, Equipment Checkout and Wolfpack Strength and Conditioning Center Expansion, which will include Olympic lifting platforms, are expected to be completed. Portions of renovated men’s and women’s locker rooms are also expected to open at this time. In the meantime, patrons can
Democracy NC seeks review of potential campaign violations
Free-wheeling spending on politicians, lawyers and lobbyists has raised suspicions, however a probe by the state elections board found no campaign finance violations. Campaign and ethics watchdogs hope state or federal prosecutors will pick up the trail and investigate more deeply. The elections watchdog group Democracy North Carolina, whose complaint prompted a two-year elections board inquiry, now wants the U.S. attorney and the Wake County district attorney to determine whether laws against corruption, bribery or other offenses were broken during the past few election cycles and for authorities to take another look at potential election law violations.

IN BRIEF A new Public Policy Polling survey shows Donald Trump with an eight-point gain in North Carolina during the past month. Last month, the left-leaning PPP was the first in the nation to give Trump a lead, when he scored 16 percent in the state. He’s now at 24 percent, which puts him ahead of Ben Carson (14 percent), Jeb Bush (13 percent), Ted Cruz (10 percent), Marco Rubio (9 percent) and 6 percent each for Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee and Scott Walker. At the bottom are Rand Paul (3 percent), Chris Christie and Rick Santorum (2 percent), John Kasich and Rick Perry (1 percent) and Jim Gilmore, Bobby Jindal and George Pataki with less than 1 percent. Lindsey Graham had no supporters. Carson and Cruz also had upward momentum, according to PPP. SOURCE: News & Observer

Presidential candidates set sights on young voters Abby Pugh Correspondent
As the 2016 presidential election approaches, NC State students are faced with many important issues to wade through and even more candidates to choose from, each with their own slant on the law. With 22 declared candidates from the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties, students have a vast pool of ideas to explore. “I think some of the major issues that most voters our age are interested in are college tuition costs, marijuana legalization, abortion and Obamacare,” said Alysha Berezny, a junior studying animal sciences. According to Fusion’s Massive Millennial Poll, other issues that are important to young
voters are unemployment, immigration reform, ISIS and other terrorist groups, foreign policy, environmental concerns, and how to best handle the deficit. How are the candidates reaching young voters? Along with the creation of official campaign websites, many of the presidential hopefuls have taken to social media by creating accounts on Twitter, Snapchat, In-
Democrat Sen. Bernie Sanders reached out to young voters on Reddit on May 19 on the page devoted to “Ask Me Anything.” In the discussion that followed, the Vermont senator tackled some of the core issues of his campaign — raising the minimum wage, climate change, affordable college for all and drug policy, to name a few. He also stressed the importance of “grassroots” movements led by average Americans. He specifically addressed youth voters by pointing out that 80 percent of young Americans did not vote in the 2012 presidential election and that this is “exactly what the ruling class of this country wants.” Sanders’ viability as a serious candidate has grown as his events have drawn record crowds, with one rally in Portland, Oregon, on Aug. 9 resulting in a crowd of more than 19,000, CNN reports. This has been the largest
event turnout of the 2016 presidential race thus far, and the crowds keep coming for Sanders. While giving a speech at a city park in Seattle on Aug. 8, Black Lives Matter activists took over the stage and insisted that Sanders be held accountable for his lack of attention to the issue of police brutality in the United States. Sanders called the interruption “unfortunate,” as he has been vocal about his plans to “demilitarize” local police and his stance on racial issues in the U.S. In response to the Black Lives Matter protesters, aides in Sanders’ campaign organized crowds to chant, “We Stand Together,” in order to prevent crowds from treating Black Lives Matter protesters negatively. Hillary Clinton, no stranger to politics, has been vocal about issues that concern young voters specifically. Topics such as a tax relief for
Conclusion The U.S. Census has shown that in every presidential election since 1964, voter turnout for those ages 18-24 has consistently been the lowest compared to all other age groups. There are plenty of reasons why this is the case, but one issue is clear: The youth vote is widely overlooked by presidential candidates. “To be honest, I haven’t really been following this election,” said Brian Palmer, a senior studying electrical
engineering. “Politics don’t cross over into any of my social media platforms … I’ll do my own research on the candidates as it gets closer, but there are too many to follow right now.” Amber Chastain, a sophomore studying elementary education, said, “I think a majority of the candidates completely ignore our generation ... It discourages most young people from getting involved or even trying to stay informed.”
stagram and Facebook to get their message out to millennials. Millennials are often criticized for lack of involvement in politics and presidential elections, but are also the least reached out to by most candidates. The Reason-Rupe 2014 Millennial Survey dubbed our generation as the “politically unclaimed generation,” and this designation rings true for many NC State students.
Republican students, an effort to combat the nationwide student debt and plans to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act, which addresses the wage gap in the U.S., are among her most popular talking points. Clinton also aims to protect the rights of the LGBT community and their families, defend President Barack Obama’s DREAM Act, call for extensive reformation of immigration policy in the United States and support both preventative and restorative drug policy. Clinton mentioned on Friday at the Iowa Democratic Wing Ding Dinner in Clear Lake that she recently opened a Snapchat account, jokingly adding “I love it — those messages disappear all by themselves.” This tonguein-cheek comment was made in reference to the controversy surrounding her use of a private email server as secretary of state.
The Pew Research Center has found that more than one in three members of the American workforce are millennials, at 53.5 million adults aged 18 to 35. Such a large representation of millennials filling the workforce and college campuses means that our generation of voters can and should be a force to be reckoned with in the eyes of the 2016 presidential candidates.
On t he Republican side, Ted Cruz has reached out to yout h in different ways. Cruz led an effort to defend the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act, authored the Obamacare Repeal Act and made a video for Buzzfeed “auditioning” for a part on “The Simpsons,” in which he compares himself to alien characters who try to run for president. Cruz’s Twitter account makes bold statements about his plans if elected president, although no recent t weets are addressed solely to young voters. The Twitter acc ou nt d id, howe ve r, retweet several self ies taken by young people with Cruz at various rallies in Iowa this month. During a speech at the Iowa Fait h and Freedom Summit in April, Republican candidate Marco Rubio proposed that colleges should tell students how much they should expect to make in their chosen career field before taking out student loans so that students can determine “whether it’s worth borrowing tens of thousands of dollars to major in basket weaving.” He has authored the “Student Right to Know Before You Go Act” to combat this issue. Rubio stands against net neutrality by citing that government regulation of the Internet is
harmf ul to A merican entrepreneurship a nd claiming that Internet service providers creating “fast lanes” and “slow lanes” for Internet use is not as bad as it seems. T h e mu l t i- bi l l i ondollar mogul and GOP candidate Donald Trump announced his run for the presidency June 16 and has been ma king national headlines ever since. Leading by a wide margin in most polls at about 25 percent, many voters are attracted to Trump for his candid, no -hold s -ba r re d ap proach to expressing political ideas and personal opinions. In his announcement speech, Trump made inf lammatory comments regarding immigration and Hispanic Americans. Despite negative backlash toward Trump on social media and in the political blogosphere, Public Policy Polling shows Trump backed by 32 percent of the conservative youth vote in America. H i s c a mp a i g n s it e claims he has more than 7 million followers on socia l media, a nd he certainly has no problem promoting his campaign in the media. At the Iowa State Fair Saturday, while fellow campaign runners posed for photos and sampled fair food, Trump commanded the attention of news reporters and Iowans alike by
offering free helicopter rides in his private helicopter. While campaigning at the Iowa State Fair on Saturday, Jeb Bush posted a “who wore it best” style photo to Twitter, comparing flashy custom cowboy boots with Iowa Sen. Jonie Ernst. T he for mer Flor ida governor has agreed to be Stephen Colbert’s first GOP candidate guest on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on Sept. 8. Bush’s official campaign site offers merchandise that appears to be geared toward young people, such as Jeb snapback hats and vintage tank tops. B e n C a r s on, a re nowned neurosurgeon running for the Republican nomination, has been a recent favorite in the polls. Carson directed the pediatric neurosurgery center at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center for 29 years and is a Presidentia l Meda l of Freedom recipient. Following his participation in the first Republican debate on Aug. 8, Carson saw a large boost in followers and attention on social media, with a 37 percent increase in followers on Instagram, a 12 percent rise in support on Facebook and a 10 percent follower increase on Twitter, according to CBS News.

tion of the project. Brand new cardiovascular equipment and core training materials will be placed in the expanded space. Kinesis equipment will be one of the highlights of the new fitness space and is essentially state-of-theart cable machines that will enhance the exercise experience. The size of the men’s locker room will be reduced to make room for the expanded fitness space, a solution to the underutilized locker room space. Lockers will be “Z-style,” and will hold more items for gym patrons. Lockers are still available for students and faculty during construction and can be accessed through the Aquatics Entrance. A lounge equipped with couches and TVs for patrons to relax before and after their workouts will be created. Office spaces for University Recreation professional staff will be relocated from the Rec Center to Carmichael
Gym, and the size of the hallways where Equipment Checkout used to be will nearly triple. The total amount of the renovations, including architecture, pictures, designs, construction, etc., adds up to about $7.6 million, according to Spivey. Students are paying for it through a $27.50 increase in student fees for the next 15 years. “All of the construction is geared toward meeting needs for students for many years to come,” Spivey said. “But once you ask students for money, you have to make sure that money is being spent in an effective manner so that you don’t have to ask for more of it.” Averett believes the wait for the completed project will be worth it. “It’ll be very different from what most students have seen before and will provide students with things they’ve been wanting for quite some time,” Averett said. University Recreation also experienced some changes within the fitness courses offered. Formerly known as small group training,
specialty fitness classes are unique classes taught with spec ia l i z ed equ ipment . Courses taught this semester include TRX RIP training, Les Mills Grit, Standup Padd le Boa rd yoga, IndoBoard yoga, premier boxing, anaerobic training and barre burn. More information about schedules and pricing can be found on University Recreation’s website. As for now, the primary entrance to Carmichael Gym has been relocated to the Aquatics Center entrance. Access to Courts 1-8 can be found through the Court 1 upper breezeway. Equipment Checkout is located at the Tennis Court entrance until the project is complete. Clothing service will be discontinued until the project is complete, but towels will be available. The Cates Avenue entrance will see no changes.

That’s a powerf ul concept, and it will cause predators to think twice. I’m excited to give the world a tool that creates a real risk for perpetrators to get caught.” David Gardner, an NC State alumnus and the
first angel investor of Undercover Colors believes Undercover Colors is crucial. “It’s something that can be used inconspicuously,” Gardner said. “You don’t want to offend someone. The person buying you a drink might be your future husband, so this is something that can be done discretely and that’s what’s really unique about it on the market.” Not only will the polish provide protection for its wearers, but it also allows them to test their drinks discreetly without anyone realizing it. “It would not be weird to see a girl swirl around her drink with her finger, as she could be mixing her drink, but it might be weird if you see her take out a stick [to stir her drink],” said Kathr y n R ipberger, a senior

Republican candidates give few answers J
ust over two weeks ago, Fox News paraded the Republican presidential hopefuls in Cleveland, Ohio in a preliminary debate fueled by drama and intrigue. Of course, most viewers tuned in for the antics of the infamous Donald Katherine Trump and others Waller to find out who the Staff Columnist other 16 candidates even were. The moderators, Chris Wallace, Megyn Kelly and Brett Baier asked several well-prepared questions that contributed to insightful commentary between the politicians, but I felt these moments were few and far between. For the most part, the questions seemed divisive and presented merely to encourage drama and draw out entertaining responses. It felt much more like an episode of a new reality TV program titled “America’s Next Top Politician.” For sure, we saw plenty of drama and good TV ratings, but what was lacking was the candidates’ ability to prove that they could perform the

most necessary task of all—to bring a socially unsettled and divided country back together. While watching Trump, Chris Christie and Rand Paul verbally attack one another is certainly entertaining television, it fails to coincide with the maturity that should be exhibited by the leader of our country. Lately, the political stage has transparently lacked authenticity with disjointed ideas and the constant refashioning and remaking of history in order to place a candidate in a particular light. The bleak state of affairs has led to the mass fabrication of the “better story.” Each of the candidates will be tougher than the rest, have economic plans that will put our economy back on track in a way that no one else can and will just generally make the world a much better place than anyone else can. Of course, this is all utter nonsense. What alarms me most is what this “better story,” which is by no means new to politics, is lacking. The “better story” oddly and even boldly ignores a vital element—how will the Republican candidates unite the country in these uncertain times?
What will the Republican candidates do to improve race relations? What policies will they implement to help ease the tensions between Americans of different religions, sexual orientation, gender or country of origin? These are questions that have not been answered. Democracy cannot be successful unless we have a leader that the majority can trust and support. At this point in the campaign process, it does not seem that this is something that is going to happen in the 2016 elections. The confused polling and the fact that a character as brash and unpolished as Donald Trump can garner so much support is an indicator of the rising uncertainty of the American people. The complexities of the problems that our nation’s leaders are supposed to fix play into social divisions regarding race, immigration, religion and sexual orientation, to name a few. These issues make up a desolate landscape from which we must select a suitable and popular candidate for the presidential seat. I watched the two-hour primetime debate in order to gain some clarity and came up empty-handed. Instead
easily chose intolerance, thus willingly ostracizing the groups of people they are supposed to represent. People are restless and unsatisfied with the perceived lack of change in our country. To encourage this change, a break from the stagnancy of the political climate, voters look from one extreme to the next. Politicians this year lack moderation—they lack willingness to compromise and inclusion of all the types of people in our diverse and complex society. Our president’s job should not be polarization, but ultimately, this is what the men and women vying for the presidential seat have made their sole duty as of late. By taking extreme social and economic stances, these candidates have gained a passionate constituency at the cost of equally passionate opposing factions. I’m tired of politicians hiding behind religion, fabrications and personas. America’s obsession with reality TV and our cultural dependency on illusion have become too intrusive and detrimental to how our democracy works.

of answering questions in a straightforward manner, many took the debate stage diverting questions to God. This heavy-handed theocracy is what many GOP candidates pushed, and from my vantage point, it is less than sincere and banks on the fact that so many Americans feel desperate every night while watching the evening news. There is a feeling among some that the world is in peril and the government is to blame because it tries to be supreme when God should be. Voting God, or rather, an Ivy-league educated political snake’s version of God, into political office goes against the separation of church and state. Also, concerning the quickly changing demographics in the United States, the percentage of people identifying as Christian dropped nearly eight percent between 2007 and 2014 according to a study by the Pew Research Center. It’s difficult to watch politicians advocate for ideas that openly ignore the 30 percent of Americans who don’t associate with the Christian faith. The candidates have to choose between the sides of intolerance and tolerance, and the GOP candidates

hange is hard, for some more so than others. Heraclitus said it well: “The only thing that is constant is Bryan change.” Change can be for Maxwell better or worse, and someCorrespondent times can happen before we’re ready for it. Such is the case for one of the most challenging changes our generation has to face: global warming. The reality that the climate of the world is changing in a way we may not be prepared for is certainly a scary one. Scarier still is the hard truth that we messed up and may have caused it (and still are causing it). In the international community, the U.S. has shown to be resistant to change, and it’s not surprising. Asking an alcoholic to give up drinking is a harder demand than asking the same of a social wino; the average U.S. citizen outguns the world average in CO2 emissions per person five to one. Not bad. This may have had something to do with why conservatives and fossil fuel reps tried to fight the Pope’s new environmental message before it even came out. This is probably why most conservatives are screaming everywhere that attempts to regulate our resource-heavy lifestyle will bring the “four horsemen” of the economic apocalypse. This is probably why the NC General Assembly and Gov. Pat McCrory are gearing up to fight the Environmental Protection Agency’s new Clean Power Plan; the NC Senate is already writing up a bill for our Department of Environment and Natural Resources to sue the EPA over it. And why our state legislature wants to open up NC to fracking and offshore drilling while defunding the state’s Renewable Energy Portfolio, despite it being supported by forward-thinking companies like Google, Apple, SAS and Facebook. For many, change can seem daunting, but it actually happens pretty often. Change can even come with surprisingly few economic hardships and result in a positive outcome. Take the Montreal Protocol for example. In the 1920s, industrial scientist Thomas Midgley (interestingly the same individual who invented leaded gasoline) developed chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs. Unlike leaded gasoline, which turned out to be toxic to, well, anything living, CFCs were non-toxic, very stable and could be used in refrigerants, deodorants, drycleaning and more. They were cheap to make and profitable. They seemed great. For about 20 years in the 1960s, CFCs went gangbusters and commercialized around the world. Around the same time, a few scientists at the University of California made some unsettling discoveries. They realized that when CFCs reacted with sunlight, they broke down and released free chlorine atoms. The science also showed that CFCs, along with being great for spritzing perfume, were fantastic at breaking down a huge amount of ozone molecules. Because CFCs were so stable, they could remain in the air longer and make it to the upper atmosphere. There they could wreak havoc on
the thin layer of ozone that makes life on our planet possible; it restricts UVB radiation, which leads to skin cancer. It was a bold and unpopular statement at the time to come out and say one of the world’s most-used chemicals was destroying the atmosphere, but it had to be said. The science faced much of the same criticism that global warming science faces today. The Alliance for Responsible CFC Policy was formed and lobbied against any efforts to regulate CFCs. DuPont, their largest manufacturer, widely denounced the science at the time. But further research in the area verified by NASA showed an alarming thinning of the ozone over the Antarctic starting in the 1980s. What came after that, the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, is known as one of the greatest international collaborations in history. Since then, nearly 200 nations have ratified the Protocol, which called for the eventual ban of all ozone-depleting substances. The U.S. was second to sign it, and what’s more is that it was done under the administration of Ronald Reagan, the darling of the Republican Party. As of 2009, it was the first convention of any kind to be universally ratified. Production of CFCs has dropped by 95 percent in industrial countries since the Protocol’s institution, and its levels in the atmosphere are leveling off. Studies done since have credited the Montreal Protocol with preventing hundreds of millions of cases of skin cancer and lessening the extent of global warming. In a rapidly industrializing world, the Protocol showed a global commitment to the “precautionary principle” and the future of the planet’s environment. It did so by dedicating to international cooperation, agreeing on the science that was presented, setting realistic timelines and creating international funds to help the phase-out happen. Even more amazing: No doomsday happened. We saw no massive economic fallouts. No great recession. Human creativity and innovation found alternatives to CFCs and markets expanded in other areas. Much of the environment’s and our health are in debt to the forward thinking of the Montreal Protocol and its committed parties. And yet, here we stand again. Passionate denial of sound science in the face of potentially disastrous environmental consequences. Creating fear that phasing out fossil fuels will hurt the poor, hurt the economy, hurt everyone. That government regulation is infringing on individual rights that our founding fathers granted us (although I like to think that the kind of forward thinking that wrote the Constitution could also agree we need to look after our environment). Rejection and doubtful science help delay the crucial international agreement needed to make a real change, and it shows in the continually unproductive Kyoto Protocol. Change, it seems, is hard for some and harder for others. In the face of inertia, it’s important to remember that the history of life gives a fantastically dark alternative to change.

Student stunt pilot takes to the sky and beyond Noah Russ Staff Writer
Brett Pierce boarded his plane in the Franklin County airfields to begin aerobatic maneuvers as his students watched attentively. “I’m ready to finally see what Brett can do,” said Mike Hester, an NC State alumnus and student of Pierce’s. With 11 years of flying experience under his belt, NC State graduate student and stunt-pilot Brett Pierce is now teaching others his passion as well, among other interests in the aerospace field. Pierce earned his undergraduate degree in aerospace engineering from NC State in 2012 and is now working on his master’s. His master’s thesis revolves around his favorite aspect of aviation and aerobatics. In his thesis, Pierce is trying to prove the possibility of autonomous aerobatics and works on this project in the Makerspaces on Centennial Campus. Autonomous aerobatics would allow a plane to complete a specific aerobatic sequence without a human pilot in the cockpit. In relation to his master’s thesis, Pierce is developing an algorithm and a plane that is strong enough to survive aerobatic maneuvers. If successful, Pierce will be the first person in the world to accomplish such a feat. His own experiences in piloting help to inspire the idea for this aircraft. Through f lying, Pierce realized that the human body can only be subject to so many g-forces before it begins to experience negative effects. “I am an aerobatic pilot, and when I pull ‘g’s’ and don’t flex, I experience the first phases of g-lock and have actually blacked out during maneuvers,” Pierce said. With an autonomous aircraft, aerobatics would become almost limitless. While Pierce is developing an unmanned aircraft, he still enjoys old-fashioned piloting. Pierce first learned to pilot powered aircrafts at Triangle North
Executive Airport in Franklin County. After Pierce received his license to pilot powered aircrafts, he moved on to learn gliders. In 2008, Pierce began to perform aerobatics and gliders. In 2009, Pierce began to learn advanced aerobatics from aerobatic pilot Johnny White. Since becoming an aerobatic pilot, Pierce has experienced great success. In the 2009-2010 season, Pierce placed second in the national collegiate division aerobatic competition. He has placed at numerous other competitions including second place at the Blue Ridge Hammerfest. At the competition, the plane Pierce flew required large control inputs, which, among aviators, is called hammering. Pierce pushed too hard on the controls, and as a result, the right rudder pedal came off and a band broke in the seat back of the plane. “The judges noticed I was ‘hammering’ the controls a bit hard with the aircraft and after breaking the parts on the plane my new call sign was ‘The Hammer,’” Pierce said. As a pilot and a Wolfpack fan, one of Pierce’s goals is to grow interest in aviation on campus. As an undergraduate, Pierce served as the president of Sigma Gamma Tau, the national honor society of aerospace engineering at NC State. Pierce has also partnered with the NC Soaring Association to try to get more students involved in flying. A few years ago, Pierce and a few of his friends f lew gliders over Centennial Campus. After the campus flyover, Pierce and the NC Soaring Association flew over 70 introduction glider flights, which allowed students to get a glimpse into aviation. One of Pierce’s future goals is to create a competitive aerobatic team at NC State. Pierce said he loves to see others share his enthusiasm for flying. On weekends, he works as a glider instructor at the Crooked Creek Airport in Zebulon, North Carolina. Through his instruction, several aspiring pilots have achieved their first solo flights.
COURTESY OF BRETT PIERCE
NC State graduate student and stunt-pilot Brett Pierce is currently working on autonomous aerobatics. If his project is successful, Pierce would be the first person in the world to prove it is possible.
COURTESY OF BRETT PIERCE
Brett Pierce, also known as, “The Hammer,” sits in the cockpit of his plane. According to Pierce, the nickname came from a competition where he broke parts on the plane.
“I’m proud to say I’m a pilotmaker,” Pierce said. “It’s an amazing feeling when you help someone grow into an aviator. I love teaching people to fly because so many dreams begin, and end, with the promise of flight.” Despite all his involvement in teaching and development in aerospace, flying isn’t just a job for Pierce. He said he would never be interested in being a commercial pilot. Pierce said
that for him, flying is a complex adventure that brings together engineering, mathematics, science and dozens of other fields. “There is no feeling like it when you strap on a machine like the Pitts or the Extra and go rocketing off into the sky; it’s freedom, pure and simple,” Pierce said.

SUMMER JAMS As essential to the season as sunblock, the summer is not truly complete without the “Summer Jam.” To update you on what you missed on the airwaves while off campus, WKNC DJs and staff members have picked their Summer Jams for your listening enjoyment:
Parking Lot Palms by iji
I spent this summer in Seattle, Washington. Iji was one of my favorite bands that I saw perform live out there. They closed Fourth of Ghouly Fest in the basement of Werewolf Vacation with this song, and it was probably my favorite night of the summer. The basement was packed with people, dancing and good vibes. Probably my favorite July 4th celebration, and there weren’t even fireworks involved. -Yvonne Chazal, Program Director
Sparks by Beach House
Despite the ridiculous amount of incredible music bestowed upon us this summer, there is one track that stands out to me in particular. “Sparks,” the first single off Beach House’s forthcoming album “Depression Cherry,” does for me what I believe most truly excellent songs do: It invokes a deep emotional connection with the listener without coming off as too heavy. Beach House has always had a knack for giving a beautiful, ethereal sound just a hint of structure; enough to make the song flow melodically but not so much as to sound overproduced. “Sparks” is dream pop at its best, and it will forever represent what was, for me at least, a good but tumultuous summer. -Chloe King, DJ Chloebert
Damn, Girl by Heems
“Damn, Girl” by Heems is my summer jam. Heems brings his next level rap skills, honed in Das Racist to a wider audience. “Damn, Girl” was released earlier this summer as an EP, and this song has everything you need to play on repeat. It has the beat that will energize you while still being a breakup song. -Ian Grice, Public Affairs Coordinator
So Hard by Daddy Issues
This upbeat tune really rounded the edges off for this summer. It’s catchy, it’s beachy and it’s sizzling hot. Daddy Issues is a local surf pop group from Greensboro who unfortunately broke up at the butt end of the summer. They played one of their final shows at the Pinhook in Durham with Girlpool and Frankie Cosmos; it was a hoot! So check them out, and listen in for them on WKNC! -Farah Hamouda, DJ Sparrow
Don’t Say No by Cheat Codes ft. Dresses
This song was our go-to tune for getting pumped! Jenna Shouse, fellow adventurer and my ride-ordie homie, introduced me to this song this summer while we were driving to the mall, and it’s epic beat drop, electronic touches, anticipation building pauses and the “Don’t Say No” lyric turned out to be the accompaniment to all of our summer adventures! The music itself is made up of layers of percussion instruments and electronic sounds that makes it perfect for dancing and, even more so, an ideal song for one to debut their air-drumming skills. This song was definitely a solid summer jam but can still live on as substantial adventure theme song in any season. -Saba Khan, Eye on the Triangle Correspondant

day, as the teams did not make it to the 70th minute of play. Last night, NC State head coach Kelly Findley fielded a changed lineup from the group that started the Pack’s 2-1 loss to Campbell last Saturday. German freshman defender Simon Blotko moved from center back to right back, while junior Travis Wannemuehler started on the bench. Senior captain Holden Fender moved from defensive midfielder to center back, starting alongside fellow senior Reed Norton in the heart of the defense. In midfield, sophomore Cameron Steele moved into the defensive midfielder spot, while juniors Yanni Hachem and Julius Duchscherer played on the sides of the diamond shape. Sophomore Zach Knudson played at the point. Findley also completely rotated his strikers. Freshman Tanner Roberts, who scored the Wolfpack’s only goal against Campbell, started alongside graduate student Phil Carmon, who looked lively in his second-half cameo on Saturday. Whether the same lineup takes the pitch tonight should indicate how informed the Pack’s head coach feels with the group that got roughly 45 minutes of game time.
freshman from Frisco, Texas, led the team in kills, blocks and total points. Kearney earned a number of accolades in her first year at State, including three ACC freshman of the week selections, MVP honors at the Georgia Benson Hospitality Invitational and a spot on the allACC freshman squad. Kearney will likely be the Pack’s top offensive weapon this season, but Bunn said fellow sophomore Perr y Ra msey a nd Ju lia Brow n have been making great strides at the outside hitter position in preseason practice.

A new addition to State’s established front line, the team will add freshman middle blocker Blayke Hranicka, one of six new additions to the Wolfpack roster. Hranicka was an all-state honoree her senior year at Mullen High School in Denver, Colorado. Bunn said he believes the middle blocker will be able to make an instant impact on the State team. “Blayke Hranicka is playing really well,” Bunn said. “Kassie Kasper, our defensive specialist, is also playing well. Those two will compete with the seniors to get playing time.” Kasper is a defensive specialist/libero from Algonquin, Illinois. The freshman will look to make an instant impact on a back line which suffered heavy losses in the offseason, includ-

ing Alston Kearns and Maddie Brown, who transferred to George Washington. Though NC State has had success since Bunn took over as head coach in 2010, this season will be the first time the team will not be playing in Reynolds Coliseum. Instead, the Pack will play its home matches at Broughton High School. Bunn did not sound pleased at the idea of his team playing matches off campus — he said it was not a topic of conversation amongst his team. “It is what it is,” Bunn said. “There’s really nothing we can do about it, so it’s really not a big deal.” Regardless of location, the Pack’s scrimmage should be a great indicator of what the team’s 2015 season has in store.

Cooke sits tied for 26th after two rounds of play, and with the projected cut to be +3, it’s safe to say Cooke has earned a ticket to the match-play round. If Cooke advances past the match-play round, he’ll have a shot at the 36-hole championship on Sunday. SOURCE: NC STATE ATHLETICS

New-look Pack to take court Saturday night Taylor Peers Staff Writer
Zack Tanner Staff Writer
With men and women’s soccer already underway, the NC State volleyball team will kick off its 2015 season with an intrasquad scrimmage Saturday night. However, the Wolfpack squad that will take the f loor this weekend has undergone some changes from last season, most notably the loss of captains Dariyan Hopper and Alesha Wilson. The duo produced much-needed offense for the Pack late in the season to make up for the unexpected losses of Rachel Buckley and Nikki Glass. Yet, what was most impressive about Hopper and Wilson was the leadership that the two displayed on and off the court. This year’s roster is much younger than last year’s — 11 of the 15 players on the State team are freshmen or sophomores. Despite the youth of the squad, head coach Bryan Bunn said his two seniors — middle blocker Morgan Cormier and setter Tanna Aljoe — are doing a great job of leading by example in practice. “Tanna and Morgan both have a lot of energy,” Bunn said. “They know when to step up, and they’re vocal, which is nice.” Since transferring to State in 2013, Aljoe has been a consistent source of energy for the Pack on the court. Even when benched early last season in favor of junior Maggie Speaks, Aljoe continued to be a presence on the court, rallying the troops in team huddles and during timeouts. Speaks and Aljoe will compete for the

starting setter position again this season, a battle which Bunn described as “wide open.” After redshirting in 2013 due to a seasonending injury, Cormier had a decent comeback season last year and will look to build on that in 2015.

Wolfpack rising: Athletic excitement builds for 2015 It’s that time again. There’s a sense of newfound hope and optimism in the air. The Wolfpack is back, and it’s just about time to start another year of NC State athletics. Last year provided fans with more than enough drama; however, this year the road may be filled with even more twists, turns and last-second BeeJay Anya jump Michael hooks. McLamb Let’s start on the gridiron Staff Writer where the State football team will open its season on September 5 against the Troy Trojans. Redshirt senior quarterback Jacoby Brissett is back for another season along with a backfield that is sure to give defenses nightmares. Touted by some of the most dangerous rushing attacks in the country, the Wolfpack returns junior Matthew Dayes and senior Shadrach Thornton to go along with two talented freshmen in Johnny Frasier and Nyheim Hines.
Defensively, NC State got off to a rocky start last year but was able to right itself down the stretch and now look to be in good shape as eight starters return from last season. Chief of which include graduate defensive end Mike Rose, redshirt sophomore linebacker Jerod Fernandez and an exciting secondary with redshirt sophomore safety Josh Jones and junior cornerback Jack Tocho. Put all that together, and you’ve got the makings of a special season in Raleigh this year. As for the hardwood, prospects could have been a little higher if guard Trevor Lacey would have decided to come back for one more wild ride with the Cardiac Pack. However, who can fault Lacey for seizing the opportunity to play the game he loves at the professional level. Lacey will be missed, but his absence does not diminish my excitement for the upcoming season. Junior guard Anthony “Cat” Barber took the spotlight at times last season and finally became the prolific scoring guard that garnered
so much praise from scouts before he signed with State. Along with that comes a fearsome frontcourt comprised of some of the best post defenders in the ACC and a rising star in sophomore forward Abdul-Malik Abu, and the Wolfpack is sure to be a tough out this year. Also, let’s not forget about redshirt junior guard Terry Henderson. Much like Lacey last season, Henderson could be somewhat of a wildcard for the Pack. He’s the type of player that could become the team’s leading scorer or simply a dangerous outside scoring threat, which will be sorely needed given the absence of sharpshooting guard Ralston Turner. Beyond the revenue sports, you cannot ignore redshirt senior Nick Gwiazdowski and the NC State wrestling team. Gwiazdowski will be back this winter with hopes of taking home his third consecutive national championship in the 285 pound weight class. And then there’s sophomore Kevin Jack who took home fifth at the 2015 NCAA Championships and gained All-American honors as a freshman.
Since naming the former Binghamton head coach Pat Popolizio to lead the Pack in 2012, the NC State wrestling team has seen nothing but success and continues to rise as one of the elite wrestling programs in the country. The same can be said for head coach Braden Holloway and the NC State swimming and diving program. The men captured the 2015 ACC Championship along with an eighth place finish in the national championships, while the women placed seventh. A new era of NC State athletics is upon us. It’s difficult to remember a time in which State was blessed with more head coaches that are proven winners. From women’s basketball head coach Wes Moore to baseball head coach Elliott Avent, the future of NC State athletics is in the hands of highly capable leaders. Couple that with some of the best athletes that NC State athletics has seen in quite some time, and Wolfpack faithful have more than enough reason to be excited for the upcoming year of athletic action.
