NCSU reacts to legalization of gay marriage Gavin Stone Correspondent
A federal judge struck down North Carolina’s ban on gay marriage Friday in a monumental decision. For NC State this ruling has a significant meaning for members of the student body, faculty and staff regardless of sexual orientation. “[Friday’s ruling] helps to legitimize [LGBT] relationships that exist within NC State students and faculty and allows partners to provide insurance benefits to one another,” said Justine Hollingshead, assistant to the vice chancellor and dean in the Division of Academic and Student Affairs and former director of NC State’s GLBT Center. Hollingshead said she has followed the fight for gay marriage in North Carolina not only because it is her job, but also for personal reasons. She said her and her partner were married two years ago in Washington, D.C., though the marriage was not

recognized under North Carolina law until Friday. “I was shocked that it actually happened,” Hollingshead said. NC State, like many other universities across the country, has a history of homophobia. In 2011, homophobic slurs were spray painted in the Free Expression Tunnel. The NC State Student Senate responded by passing a resolution opposing the NC General Assembly’s proposed ban on gay marriage, according to WRAL. The LGBT community has won many battles for equality over recent

On Friday, the North Carolina Supreme Court announced its decision to snatch several lawsuits from the state Court of Appeals, one of these cases being environmentalists’ appeal to stop the sale of the 79,000-acre Hofmann Forest. The North Carolina Supreme Court’s decision to step in and hear cases before the appeals court is very rare, according to the News & Observer. Jim Conner, a Raleigh attorney who represents the environmentalists who are suing to stop the sale of the Hofmann Forest until the potential environmental effects have been reviewed, told the N&O he thinks the Supreme Court intercepted the Hofmann lawsuit because it recognizes the importance of the case. The plaintiffs appealed a decision from a Wake Superior Court judge who dismissed the lawsuit hoping to stop the sale last fall. Opponents had hoped for a decision before the sale closes, which is expected to happen within the next few weeks, the N&O reported. Opponents of the sale argue that selling the forest could lead to irreversible environmental damage, as

years, but many people agree it still has a long way to go. “This is one step, but there is still so much more to go,” said Rebekah M., a freshman in art and design and a transgender student, gave their statements with the request that we not use their full name for cautionary purposes. While their safety has never felt threatened at NC State, Rebekah said there are still social stigmas associated with being queer on a college campus. Rebekah said transgender people still face challenges when attempting to marry because their birth certificates show a different letter next to sex than what they are at the time of their request for a marriage license. However, the ruling gives hope for further changes to marriage legislation. “It’s nice to be able to look forward to marriage as a possibility at some point in my life,” Rebekah said. Rebekah said they feel this ruling is a sign of a “generational revolution,” mirroring the radical growing pains the U.S. underwent throughout the ‘60s era. Among the NC State student body, approval of gay marriage has been on the rise since fall of 2011, according to data from a Pack Poll survey. In a fall of 2013 poll, a sample of NC State students found that 74 percent were in favor of allowing LGBT couples to marry/form civil unions. In the same poll, 34 percent of students identified themselves as

Historically, judicial rulings have played major roles in fueling social change in the U.S. When North Carolinians voted for Amendment 1 in 2012, gay marriage was already illegal, but the amendment changed the wording in the North Carolina Constitution to read: “marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this State.”

Lecturer discusses population’s effect on architechture Coleen Kinen-Ferguson Staff Report
Vikramaditya Prakash, a professor of architecture and the director of the Chandigarh Urban Lab at the University of Washington explored the north Indian city and territory of Chandigarh and how population growth and globalization has affected its architecture in a presentation Monday evening. “The city has grown exponentially on all sides,” Prakash said. “It is growing in all directions, which has a lot of consequences for the surrounding areas, both good and bad.” The increase in population size has led to high uncertainty regarding the architectural growth within the city. Throughout his lecture, Prakash emphasized the city’s commitment to preservation. “What we are most interested in is how the city is integrating with its growth,” Prakash said. Although the population rate of Chandigarh is high, totaling more than 1 million inhabitants, the distribution of residents is very uneven. This is due to the existence of thirteen villages within the union territory of Chandigarh. When the city was first being constructed in the 1950s, it was built on land
already occupied by villages. These villages protested being moved and were allowed to remain on their land. As a result, the city of Chandigarh was built around them, Prakash said. These villages are densely populated, especially since land within them is “cheap rental space,” according to Prakash. This rural displacement of the population makes up a large portion of the overall population of Chandigarh. “The process of urban growth in India can be described as deruralization,” Prakash said. Prakash said he was concerned about the effect this high population rate has had on the scenery of Chandigarh. He showed the audience two pictures, the first showed an empty street surrounded by greenery. “The empty streets are covered with fantastic canopies of green!” Prakash said. “However, the streets are not often empty.” The next photo showed a crowded street in Chandigarh, which was overflowing with pedestrians, cyclists and drivers. Chandigarh is known as having the largest number of vehicles per capita in India, according to Prakash. “As a consequence of success the city is being expand-
ed,” Prakash said. The lecture explored the effect this expansion might have on the preexisting culture and architecture of Chandigarh. “Where is the value of design and heritage?” Prakash said. “How does modernism in architecture apply to that?” Throughout his lecture, Prakash displayed a variety of images of historical and modern structures in Chandigarh. In addition to explaining their design and functionality, Prakash described the approach architects and designers took to building them, as well as the reactions they invoked from members of Chandigarh’s community. Prakash also discussed ecological approaches to the architecture, and how these techniques could be integrated into preexisting structures and architecture. Early modern architect, and one of Chandigarh’s chief designers, Le Corbusier designed a number of individual chairs for government use in the 1950s. While many of Chandigarh’s residents regarded them as “old and ugly,” Prakash said, “International designers were buying them up very cheaply.” Prakash said that by reworking the chair’s original

Why the Good2Go app had to go, can’t come back A
class discussion brought to my attention an app related to consensual sex, Good2Go. In theory, it sounds like a revolutionary idea that raises the topic Sophie of consent and Nelson makes it accesStaff Columnist sible to young people. For those who haven’t heard of the Good2Go app: It encourages sexual partners to assess their mutual interest in sex and record their intoxication levels before getting busy. Partners are asked, “Are We Good2Go?” and can answer “No, Thanks,” “Yes, but … we need to talk” or “I’m Good2Go.” If either party chooses “No, Thanks,” a popup announces, “Remember! No means No! Only Yes means Yes, BUT can be changed to NO at anytime!” But if a partner claims to be “Good2Go,” they are sent to another page asking if they’re sober, mildly intoxicated, “Intoxicated but Good2Go” or “Pretty Wasted.” If someone chooses the latter, the app says the person “cannot consent” and instructs the partner to give the phone back to its owner. Otherwise the user is asked to enter his or her phone number and a password and confirm that they’re at least 18 years old. By now, the app has been removed from online stores. However, it is important to understand why Good2Go was so problematic it warranted removal. I’m sure the makers of the app had the best intentions, and it is progressive in itself that people are inventing ways to tackle the problem of sexual assault. However the Good2Go app has so many problems it makes me wonder whether it is actually doing more harm than good. First of all, it is far too complicated to navigate for a person in a sober state, let alone for someone who has been friendly with a bottle of vodka for the night. And, realistically, it is not going to prevent the motives of a rapist. If a sexual predator is

with a woman and she has the app with intent to use it to have consensual sex with someone, he could simply input the answers for her and select that she said yes. If you’re going to rape someone, hitting a button on his or her behalf is not beyond the scope of what you’re comfortable with. Fur t hermore, Good 2Go could contribute a dangerous new element to those he-said she-said rape cases, as the app maintains a record of every agreement registered in its system, tied to both users’ personal phone numbers and Good2Go accounts. Users do not have access to those records; however, a government official with a
“It seems to be protecting rapists rather than potential victims” subpoena could. In essence, this is an app that would prove useful to the minuscule number of men who are wrongfully accused of rape rather than the 1 in 3 women who will be sexually abused in their lifetimes. Good2Go may remind users that consent can be retracted at any time; nevertheless, there are judges and juries who will take evidence of a person’s saying yes to sex at one point, and presume that they were asking for whatever happened later that night. As well as the logistics of the app, my main frustration is the rationale of it in which it assumes that men don’t know if a woman wants to have sex or not without the help of an app. Men are not stupid. They understand that only yes really means yes; the problem arises when they just don’t care. Although the Good2Go app has shed some light on the importance of consent, it seems to be protecting rapists rather than potential victims.

Let’s welcome our parents to social media Y
es, my parents are on social media. Yes, it is at times really embarrassing, such as when my mom attempts shorthand in her Instagram captions, and it goes oh Katherine so horriWaller bly wrong. Staff Columnist Or when my dad squints over his glasses trying to make sense of the mysterious, “unintelligible” world of Facebook while I sit next to him, head in my hands, trying to explain the concept of pokes and news feeds. I hear many people, myself included, laugh at their parents or complain about their parents’ social media use. If someone’s parents care enough to try to enter the
social media dialogue, I say: Welcome them with open arms. The generational divide between our parents and us is substantial, largely because of the Internet takeover. We have learned how to communicate in completely newer ways than our parents, and they deserve a learning curb. Most people don’t get to know their parents until they are older, and social media allows us to share more of our day-to-day events, personal interests and with whom we choose to spend our time with than other means of communication. Social media has proven to help me connect with my parents and get to know them better than I would with my phone call home every week. Parents join the social media dialogue because they care—no one should ever be embarrassed for having parents that care
enough to sign up on unfamiliar apps and sites just to keep up with what their kids are doing. A parent on social media is much more than an attempt to “be cool” and assimilate into a younger culture; it’s them trying to connect with their children. Having a parent on social media benefits you so much more than just forming a social connection with your parent. For example, having my parents on social media makes me filter how I present myself on social media sites. This is something I am grateful for—I don’t have photos from my past coming back to haunt me while looking for jobs or meeting new people. Children are entering the social media world at increasingly younger ages. Young kids who cannot discern the dangers of the Internet need to have
some semblance of supervision on these sites. Also, older teenagers and young adults might be presenting signs of emotional distress or life crisis on social media. Parents can be much more in the loop of internal struggles by following their children on social media. Keeping up with kids, no matter what the age of the child, is simply good parenting. There w ill be many times in the future where my parents will continue to embarrass me, on social media and in life, but this is truly just another rite of passage. Nex t time my mom shows our waiter something I posted on Instagram to get help assessing how “drunk I look,” I’m just going to laugh and appreciate the love behind these often embarrassing acts; I encourage you to do the same.
Legislation takes away from sexual exploration C
ollege creates a lot of opportunities for students to explore new things after leaving the confines of their parents’ homes. One of the biggest frontiers Tyler Gobin for exploStaff Columnist rat ion i s sexuality. We’re suddenly surrounded by the opportunity to explore relationships with members of the opposite or same sex. And if there wasn’t already enough awkward pressure on college students to open up and explore, California has adopted a new Yes Means Yes legislation. Two weeks ago Jerry Brown, the California governor, signed a bill that required all colleges receiving state money for financial aid to enforce a standard of what’s called affirmative consent. There is complicated legal jargon
that literally says at each step in the process each party must agree to sexual contact. The agreements can be verbal or non-verbal and must be clear at each stage of the encounter. An initial yes to a kiss does not constitute a yes to sexual intercourse. Aside from the students’ laughter I am sure the law is receiving, the law will be legally ripped to shreds. It’s full of words that have too much leeway and leave room for multiple different interpretations. The law states that consent must be continual, but silence does not constitute a yes. What is continual consent? Consent to one person might mean something completely different to someone else. And what exactly constitutes a nonverbal affirmative consent? The loopholes don’t stop there either. The law is
vaguer when alcohol is present. It states that intoxication is not a valid excuse for believing someone consented. It further states, “If the accused knew or reasonably should have known that the complainant was unable to consent [because she was too drunk to] understand the fact, nature, or extent or the sexual activity.” Without a written agreement, I am not sure there is a way the accused could get the law to be interpreted in his favor. The interpretation of the law is usually in the hands of campus officials instead of real judiciaries. Not to say that campus procedures aren’t serious, but they don’t provide any sort of certainty. The people who decide a verdict often have no legal experience and the accused usually has no form of a lawyer or rights to cross examination.

I understand the reasoning behind the creation of the law. It is trying to reduce sexual violence across campuses, a great cause, but it is going about it completely wrong. The lawmakers have a lot to learn about our generation if they believe the millennials will take this law seriously. Intimate moments form around impulse and instincts ; they don’t constitute order and rules. Budding relationships are sensitive to everything, and the continued consents don’t exactly scream romantic. Moments are born out of thin air and can’t have a due process. The California legislature might think they are doing justice, but if it thinks students will ask one another if they consent as they round each base, these legislators are truly out of touch.

Cristóbal Colon trajo la colonización a América The unsigned editorial is the opinion of the members of Bienvenidos’ editorial board, excluding the news department, and is the responsibility of the Bienvenidos Editor. El Día de la Raza el cual se traduce al Día de Cristóbal Colon en los Estados Unidos ha sido un día de fiesta federal desde 1937, la cual se toma acabo el segundo lunes de octubre de cada año. Desde escuela primaria le enseñan a los niños la rima de ‘1492 Colón navegó el océano azul’, para ayudarles a recordar el año en que el Nuevo Mundo y el continente americano fue descubierto por los europeos. A los mismos niños se les enseña los nombres de los tres barcos españoles que lo llevaron allí: la Niña, la Pinta y la Santa María. Los estudiantes aprenden más tarde que Colón desembarcó en La Española, que ahora consta de Haití y la República Dominicana. De lo que los niños rara veces aprenden son acerca de los vastos imperios incas o mayas, imperios que fueron aplastados por las mantas de la viruela, la codicia, y espadas españolas. Como nación, no apartamos un día para celebrar las cienes de lenguas indígenas independientes
Would you rather smallpox, the shackle or the sword? Erin Holloway, senior in anthropology and English que se hablaban en el hemisferio occidental antes de que Colón pusiera por primera vez el pie en una isla que él creía tontamente estar en el Océano Índico. La crítica del descubrimiento de Cristóbal Colón de América no es nueva, pero lo que es sorprendente es que sigamos celebrándolo.
Aunque no celebramos ningún otro explorador, como nación, los Estados Unidos continúa honrando el hombre que ayudó a iniciar la primera oleada de inmigrantes en el hemisferio occidental. Cristóbal Colón es el único no americano con un día de fiesta federal que lleva su nombre.
Él también es la única persona que celebramos la cual perpetúo el genocidio, robo, la esclavitud y la destrucción de culturas enteras. Colón empezó penosamente por la isla de Española, llegando a las entrañas de un sinnúmero de culturas y poblaciones establecidas para
nombrar un nuevo descubrimiento y orgullo para su Italia natal y los españoles quienes financiaron la expedición. La educación eurocéntrica que celebra Colón no menciona la colonización, la eliminación deliberada y esclavización de los indígenas que poblaron las “nuevas”
tierras. Tampoco reconoce la naturaleza altamente desarrollada de las grandes naciones que destruyeron en el proceso. El Día de Cristóbal Colon se convirtió en un día de fiesta federal en 1937 bajo Franklin D. Roosevelt, pero se ha celebrado en España y en América Latina durante siglos. No tiene por qué ser así. En 1990, el gobernador de Dakota del Sur ordenó que el ‘Día de Cristóbal Colon’ pasará a llamarse Día del Nativo Americano en un intento de conciliar las relaciones entre los nativos americanos y la población blanca. Hawái, Alaska, y Oregón no reconocen el Día de Colón, y Iowa y Nevada no lo celebran como un día de fiesta oficial en absoluto. En lugar de extensas lecciones sobre Colon, ¿por qué no leemos Bartolomé de las Casas, el obispo que se opuso abiertamente a la corona española y abogó por los derechos de los esclavos indígenas durante toda su vida? En lugar de los tres barcos españoles, ¿por qué no nos enteramos de los nombres de los gobernantes incas como Huayna Cápac, Túpac Huallpa, o Tupac Amaru, todos los cuales murieron a manos de los conquistadores?
Columbus Day: Celebrating the shackling of the Americas Columbus Day, the second Monday of October each year, has been a federal holiday since 1937. The elementary rhyme, “in 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue,” has helped children remember the year that the New World and the Americas was discovered by Europeans. The same children are taught the names of the three Spanish ships that took him there: the Niña, Pinta and Santa Maria. Students might later learn that Columbus landed on Hispaniola, which now comprises
Haiti and the Dominican Republic. What children rarely learn about are the vast Incan or Mayan empires, empires that were squashed by smallpox blankets, greed and Spanish swords. As a nation, we don’t have a day to celebrate the hundreds of independent indigenous languages spoken in the Western Hemisphere before Columbus first stepped foot on an island that he wrongly believed to be in the Indian Ocean. The criticism of Christopher Columbus’ discovery of Amer-
ica is not new, but what is striking is that we continue to celebrate it. While we don’t celebrate any other explorers, as a nation the United States continues to honor the man who helped start the first flood of immigrants to the Western Hemisphere. Christopher Columbus is the only nonAmerican with a federal holiday named after him. He’s also the only person we celebrate who perpetuated genocide, grand theft, slavery and the destruction of entire cultures.
C o lu m b u s b e g a n b y traipsing across the island of Hispaniola, reaching far into the guts of countless established cultures and populations to pull out a new discovery and pride for his native Genoa (now part of Italy) and the Spaniards who funded the expedition. The Eurocentric education that celebrates Columbus doesn’t mention the colonization and deliberate killing and enslavement of indigenous people that populated the “new” lands. It also doesn’t recognize the highly-devel-
oped nature of the nations he destroyed in the process. Columbus Day became a federal holiday in 1937 under Franklin D. Roosevelt, but has been celebrated in Spain and in Latin America for centuries. It doesn’t have to be this way. In 1989, the governor of South Dakota ordered Columbus Day to be renamed Native American Day in an effort to reconcile relations between Native Americans and its white population. Hawaii, Alaska and Oregon don’t recognize Columbus
Day, and Iowa and Nevada don’t celebrate it as an official holiday at all. Instead of extensive lessons on Columbus, why don’t we read Bartolome de las Casas, the Bishop who openly opposed the Spanish crown and advocated for the rights of indigenous slaves during his life? Instead of the three Spanish ships, why don’t we learn the names of Incan rulers like Huayna Capac, Túpac Huallpa or Túpac Amaru, all of whom died at the hands of conquistadors?

Freedom with respect STUDENT OPINIONS ON ETIQUETTE IN THE FREE EXPRESSION TUNNEL Sarah Keener Staff Writer
Most NC State students are familiar with the eyecatching Free Expression Tunnel, but not all of them agree on the proper etiquette for painting on the walls. Students have been painting in it for years as a way to communicate about events on and off campus and as a means for conveying personal thoughts and opinions. The Free Expression Tunnel is the most heavily used pedestrian bridge at State as it connects the main and east campuses. Students use the tunnel to get to class, see what’s going on in the brickyard or travel to Hillsborough Street. The tunnel is a part of campus with heavy foot traffic and makes the perfect place for students, campus organizations, clubs, sororities and fraternities to advertise about meetings, events and what’s happening around NC State. Constructed in 1939 as a Public Works Administration project, the Free Expression Tunnel didn’t get its first coat of paint until 1968 when it was painted red and white in honor of the military veterans of North Carolina, according to the NCSU Free Expression Tunnel Facebook
page. The tunnel was closed for repairs during the spring 2005-2006 semester, and was rededicated that winter with a plaque posted outside of the tunnel walls. The Free Expression Tunnel is not managed by any one individual or committee; the students of NC State are given creative freedom in the tunnel to do as they please. The tunnel is always changing as students and members of the community contribute to its walls. For the most part, the students are the ones in charge of what they paint inside the tunnel. “The appropriate time to paint the tunnel is late at night when there are few people there,” said Amanda Scott, a sophomore in animal science. “If you start painting and classes are still going and people are going to dinner, it gets really obnoxious. The Free Expression Tunnel should remain free as long as the content isn’t trying to offend people. It’s alright to put up pride paintings and such, but don’t bash other people’s beliefs or rights, and it should be okay to paint over something after a week.” When a great amount of effort goes into a piece of art or a mural, students usually wait a few days to a week to

paint over it. The Arnold Air Society painted the Free Expression Tunnel before fall break to honor prisoners of war and soldiers missing in action; a mural they paint every year, according to the Free Expression Tunnel Facebook page. Though the tunnel is intended for NC State students to use, campus outsiders pay
it a visit from time to time. Professional painters, Raleigh artists and even hired painting crews have visited it in order to advertise for clubs, bars or events happening around Raleigh students may be interested in. Opposing sports teams will sometimes paint the tunnel in their school’s colors either before or after a big game as
a prank. UNC-Chapel Hill students usually paint the Free Expression Tunnel Carolina blue around big games, and NC State students then try to quickly repaint it red and white soon after. There is no censoring in the Free Expression Tunnel, but students are encouraged to be respectful of others. “There is no ‘right’ or
‘wrong’ way to paint the tunnel,” said Tianna Soto, a junior in psychology. “However, it makes me sad to see offensive things occasionally written in the tunnel. Our university supports diversity and creativity, but in my opinion, students should be mindful -- there shouldn’t be negative or highly offensive words/images in the space.”
There is more than one way to carve a pumpkin Mary Anna Rice Correspondent
Pumpkin fanatics everywhere are rejoicing, as it is now socially acceptable to make anything and everything pumpkin-flavored. These unusual creations include pumpkin pie pop tarts, pumpkin Greek yogurt, and pumpkin spice hummus. However, it seems lately that we don’t give enough attention to the pumpkin’s potential outside of its edibility. Here we will celebrate the diversity of those effervescent gourds that just won’t quit. That lantern is jacked. A time-honored tradition, carving vegetables (most commonly gourds) is a way to both decorate your front porch and protect your house from malevolent spirits. Though the exact origin of the jack-o’-lantern is disputed amongst scholars, many believe that the carvings of faces with jagged teeth were meant to represent the visages of demons or ghouls. However, the custom of carving up pumpkins has, over time, tended away from the intent of encapsulating the faces of monsters. In recent years, the decorations have become more refined—a more specialized art form of sorts. People put out more impressive jack-o’-lanterns each year and some have even crafted their own Death Star. Why ward off devils when you can show everyone which Game of Thrones house you belong to? It’s what’s on the inside that counts. The goop inside of the pumpkin does not get enough credit. Pumpkin seeds are a good source of zinc, magnesium, healthy fats, antioxidants and fibers. In addition to this, they are quite tasty and can be prepared in a variety of ways. They can also be used to grow new pumpkins. For easy roasted pumpkin seeds, heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before removing, de-pulping and washing your seeds. After tossing them with olive oil, place the pumpkin seeds on a greased baking sheet and top them with pretty much whatever you like. For salty pumpkin seeds, go for ingredients like sea salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, parmesan cheese, garlic, paprika and crushed red pepper. For sweet,

try ingredients like sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and honey. Finally, bake your nutrient-packed snacks until they are crisp and golden. Once you’ve carved your pumpkin and roasted your seeds, you’ve only the pulp left. Every part of the pumpkin can be utilized in some way or another. Your pulp can be prepared as a pumpkin puree- which can be used to easily make pumpkin muffins, pancakes and bread-, used as a stock in soup or even baked straight into lasagna as a substitute for meat. If you aren’t carving the pumpkin… you can use it to cook. The flesh of the pumpkin is probably the easiest part to put to use. If you waste it, you might miss out on a great opportunity. One of the more uncommon pumpkin recipes involves employing the pumpkin itself as a kind of crock pot. After baking your gutted pumpkin for 20-30 minutes (until the flesh is softened), stuff it with whatever you feel compelled to. Some recipes suggest that this be done with casserole, soup and even corn bread. In addition to using the pumpkin flesh for eating purposes, it can be whipped into any number of skin products, like
facial masks and body butters. An easy facial mask requires mixing together pumpkin, honey and milk and applying for 20 minutes. Repurpose that gourd even further. Pumpkins on their own make great decorations. If you don’t feel up to carving one and having to compete with your neighbor’s picture-perfect depiction of Walter White, just leave your pumpkin unscathed. Let its natural beauty shine. In addition, your pumpkin can be made into a planter of sorts. Simply cut off the top of your spherical vegetable, gut it and put something botanical inside of it. Flowers and soil can be added as desired, and what’s more is that as the pumpkin decomposes, it helps to fertilize the growing plants inside. Once your pumpkin is no longer aesthetically pleasing to you, it can be put straight in the ground. Speaking of decomposing pumpkins, whatever pumpkin parts you have left can be placed in a composting bin for later use. When spring comes, you’ll have a nice fertilizer of the pumpkin variety.
NC State alumni Jonathan Greeson, the founder and president of the North Carolina Electric Wheelchair Hockey Association (NCEWHA), is excited to announce his team’s upcoming fundraiser later this month. While the organization has had a number of exhibition games in previous years, this event will be more interactive. Greeson and his team, the Carolina Fury, welcome ever yone to part icipate w it h t hem on Saturday, October 25 at the Governor Morehead School Gymnasium for a special Zumbathon. According to their website, the idea is to give people who have been spectators in the past the chance to play alongside members of the organization. According to the website, the event will be split into t wo sessions. The first will be adapted for people with disabilities; everyone will be sitting in chairs and practicing
alongside members of the Carolina Fury. The second session will be a full Zumba workout, led by instructor Alicia Betancourt. Greeson expressed excitement for the event, saying that it’s different from what they’ve done in the past. “This event is much different from our usual exhibition games,” Greeson said. “We are hoping that, by doing something different, we can share our mission with a new audience. We’re hoping that it will help with our recruiting while raising money for our program. We are currently looking for players to join the Carolina Fury as we start preparing for the 2016 Powerhockey Cup in Philadelphia. With the extra year to prepare, this is the perfect time to learn the sport.”

En route to his first title, Pulgar won three matches in straight sets, including the final against Viktor Durasovic 6-2, 6-3. He also defeated Alexander Ward of Great Britain 6-4, 5-7, 6-3. Pulgar won five total matches to claim the title. During his time with the Wolfpack, the 2012 graduate was a three-time All-ACC selection with 75 career singles wins good enough for fifth all-time in the Pack Men’s Tennis Program history.

ATLANTIC No. 2 Florida State (6-0, 4-0) – In a rare case of a No. 1 seed losing its top spot without losing, Mississippi State has overtaken the Seminoles as the best team in the nation. Despite dominating conference opponents the past two weeks, Florida State’s wins have not been as impressive. The ‘Noles will have an opportunity to reclaim the No. 1 seed when No. 5 Notre Dame travels to Tallahassee this Saturday. No. 24 Clemson (4-2, 3-1) - The Tigers clawed their way back into the top 25 with a close win over Louisville on Saturday. The Clemson defense came up big for the team, holding the Cardinals to 1-for-17 on third down and forcing two fumbles, one of which was returned for a touchdown. However, the team suffered a big loss when standout freshman QB Deshaun Watson was sidelined with a fracture in his throwing hand. Louisville (5-2, 3-2) - Once again, the Cardinals’ defense was spectacular, holding its opponent to no offensive touchdowns for the fourth straight week. Louisville now ranks third in the nation in opponents’ points per game. However, the offense and special teams failed Louisville on Saturday, as two fumbles and a punt return sealed the Cardinals’ fate. Boston College (4-2, 1-1) - The Eagles brought their best in their Saturday matchup with NC State. Senior QB Tyler Murphy continued his dominance as a runner, rushing for 132 yards and two touchdowns, one of which was 47 yards. Boston

Redshirt junior safety Hakim Jones and senior linebacker Rodman Noel trail graduated Boston College quarterback Tyler Murphy early in the first quarter Saturday, Oct. 11 at Carter-Finley Stadium. Jones and Noel totaled 13 tackles and assists during the game. The Eagles defeated the Wolfpack 30-14, dropping State to fifth place in the ACC’s Atlantic division in the Technician’s power rankings.
College’s ground attack now ranks fifth in the nation, averaging 315.7 yards per game. NC State (4-3, 0-3) - Things are falling apart in Raleigh. After a strong 4-0 start, the Wolfpack impressed by dropping 41 on then-topranked Florida State. However, in the following two weeks, State has been historically shut out at Clemson and embarrassed in its home stadium by Boston College. Now seven players, including two defensive starters, have been suspended for Saturday’s matchup with Louisville. Syracuse (2-4, 0-2) - A loss was to be expected for the Orange when

Virginia will travel to Durham Saturday to face a Duke team fresh off a win over No. 22 Georgia Tech. From there, the Cavs will look forward to road matchups with No. 2 Florida State, Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech. Duke (5-1, 1-1) - The Duke team that took down nationally-ranked Georgia Tech on Saturday was a completely different squad than
COMMENTARY
QUOTE OF THE DAY “I feel like once we get that first ACC win, it is going to mean more for this team than it would any other team.”
No. 1 Florida State rolled into town, but Syracuse did a decent job of hanging around with the former champs. Still, four straight losses for the Orange do not bode well for postseason hopes. ‘Cuse will have a chance to turn its season around with a win at Wake Forest on Saturday. Wake Forest (2-4, 0-2) - Following a bye week, the Demon Deacons have a chance to salvage their season with two winnable games against Syracuse and Boston College ahead on the schedule. Before the team thinks about earning its first conference win, Wake must address its offense, which currently ranks dead
Former NC State athletics standouts were enshrined in the Wolfpack Hall of Fame in a ceremony held at the Talley Student Center on Friday. This was the third inductee class to the Wolfpack Hall of Fame. This class included Dennis Byrd, Dick Dickey, Sam Esposito, Charmaine Hooper, Jack McDowall, Chasity Melvin, Wendell H. Murphy, Danny Peebles, Lou Pucillo and Steve Rerych. Dennis Byrd was a member of the “White Shoes” defense from 1965-1967. He helped lead the football team to a third place ranking in the nation, the highest in NC State history. The Boston Patriots in the 1968 draft drafted him in the first round. His number 77 jersey was retired in 2001. Dick Dickey was a member of the basketball team from 1946-1950. He is one of three players in NC State history to earn All-American
honors three times. Following his career with the Pack, he was drafted into the NBA as a third-round selection by the Baltimore Bullets in 1950 and played one season with the Boston Celtics during the 195152 season. Sam Esposito coached the Pack baseball team to 513 career wins, the highest in program history. During his 21 years at NC State he coached 69 All-ACC players and seven All-Americans. He is the only coach to take a team to the College Baseball World Series. Charmaine Hooper was a key player during the Wolf pack ’s “Golden Age” of women’s soccer. She earned back-to-back All-American honors for her play in 1989 and 1990. The teams she played on had four straight NCAA tournament appearances, a spot in the national title game in 1988 and an ACC title in 1988. Jack McDowall is mostly known for playing football, but he also

After a 4-0 start showed signs of a turnaround from the horrific 2013 season, the NC State football team’s performance has nosedived, suffering three straight losses to conference teams. In his second year, Head Coach Dave Doeren has yet to come away with an ACC v ic tor y. T he team put up a f ig ht aga i nst No. 1 Florida State and turned a lot of heads in Daniel Lacy doing so but has Correspondent slumped in the last two games against Clemson and Boston College. What happened to the team that went undefeated through its first four games and out-dueled the defending national champions for three quarters in its fifth? Redshirt junior quarterback Jacoby Brissett started off the season well, passing for 1005 yards, 10 touchdowns and just one interception while completing over two-thirds of his passes. He was pure gold compared to last year’s sub-par duo of Brandon Mitchell and Pete Thomas. He continued his strong play against FSU, finishing with 359 yards and three touchdowns despite being under constant duress from the opposing pass rush. He had two costly fumbles at the end of the game, but could only carry the team so much as he got little help from the defense and poor protection from his offensive line. Brissett struggled mightily the next two games, combining for just 209 yards, one touchdown and one interception while com-
pleting about 35 percent of his passes. Much of this can be attributed to Clemson’s stellar defense and awful weather conditions against Boston College, but, as the quarterback, he is the commander of the team and needs to overcome these factors. Despite all this, Brissett is far from the biggest problem on the team. He has been sacked 11 times in the past three games, and that number would be a lot higher if not for his size and evasiveness when escaping countless sacks. The offensive line has done a decent job run blocking, as State’s running backs average about six yards per carry, but the group needs to do a better job of protecting its quarterback. Wolfpack fans everywhere cringe every time Brissett drops back to pass because there are defenders in his face instantaneously. Brissett has little time to go through his progressions and complete an accurate pass because he’s forced to scramble out of the pocket. The offensive line is easily one of the biggest problems on a struggling Wolfpack team, but not the only one. Last season, it was a lackluster offense that failed to do much of anything that brought the team down. This year, it is pretty much the entire defense. The run defense has been porous. Clemson ran for 226 yards and Boston College ran for 310 yards, with their respective dual threat quarterbacks picking the Wolfpack line apart with designed run plays. NC State’s defense simply hasn’t been able to defend the read option, and will most likely continue to be
