NC State will not adopt ‘Yes Means Yes’ initiative Ryen Ormesher Correspondent
Despite the recently revised policies of many universities around the country, NC State will not be implementing any changes to its sexual assault policy based on the “Yes Means Yes” movement. Instead, the school is working to combat sexual assault on a community-wide basis through outreach and advocacy programs. “From an education and advocacy standpoint, we’ve been on a ‘Yes Means Yes’ perspective and philosophy for the last few years,” said Otis McGresham, assistant director for Interpersonal Violence Services at the NC State Women’s Center. UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke Uni-
versity recently adopted new sexual misconduct policies centered on the “Yes Means Yes” campaign. The revised policies redefine consent as having both parties “affirmatively agree” before participating in sexual activity. In addition to changing the sexual misconduct policy, UNC-CH asked all incoming students to sign a form stating that they understood and would abide by the given definition of consent. The “Yes Means Yes” movement gained attention in California last month, when the state passed a law requiring campuses that receive state money to define consent as

Feed the Pack targets hunger on campus Staff Report

Dr. Peter Cowen, an associate professor of epidemiology and public health in the College of Veterinary Medicine, advises global health experts about the risk of animal infectious diseases. According to Cowen, the decision to put a dog in Spain down because of Ebola infection was a poor choice. Instead, he would have suggested that researchers take this opportunity to study the animal to learn more about this disease.
University Dining, in partnership with Feed the Pack, is hosting the World Food Day Drive from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. today in the Brickyard after the event was rescheduled due to inclement weather. The event aims to increase awareness of hunger on campus. Students are encouraged to bring canned goods to the University Dining tent to contribute to the event.

NCSU professor advises against quick judgments about Ebola Emily Duckett Correspondent
There should be no rash decisionmaking when considering the relationship between animals and Ebola, according to Dr. Peter Cowen, associate professor of epidemiology and public health in the College of Veterinary Medicine at NC State. A nurse’s aide in Spain contracted Ebola and her dog was put down as a precautionary measure, even though it was unclear if the dog had contracted the disease. There was a missed opportunity to study the dog and learn a lot about the disease, Cowen said. “From what I can see from the outside—and all I saw was what was in the media—it seemed to me that there was a rush to judgment,” Cowen said. “There was an undervaluing of the ability to quarantine that dog and study it to see if the
nurse could even transmit it to that particular dog.” The transmission of disease between humans and animals can play a vital role in disease outbreaks, according to Cowen. “A good number of Ebola outbreaks start when a human being comes in contact with an infected chimpanzee, gorilla, or some kind of rainforest animal that can, in fact, get Ebola,” Cowen said. Disease outbreaks have to start somewhere, and wildlife is thought to be the source for human infection. Many diseases start in the animal population and “cross-over” or “spill-over” into the human population, Cowen said. “Out of all these new diseases that are occurring, and we are having more new diseases, ¾ of them actually have started in animals and spilled into humans,” Cowen said. Cowen emphasized the impor-
tance of the One Health approach to studying disease. “One Health is when we really don’t make hard and fast distinctions between what animals are involved,” Cowen said. “We actually study them all and try to understand the disease dynamics and the transmission dynamics in all the animals that are involved or could potentially be involved.” The One Health approach also involves ecosystems and the things people, animals and the environment do that cause or exacerbate the spread of disease, according to Cowen. The College of Veterinary Medicine places emphasis on the One Health approach, and many students and professionals in the college have a great interest in zoo-

We have no idea in those species.” The Ebola virus is having its biggest impact in West Africa, and the best way to prevent an Ebola outbreak in the United States would be to address the problem in West Africa, Cowen said. “The risk of being exposed [to Ebola] at NC State, in Raleigh, or anywhere in the U.S. is extremely low unless a person has direct contact with

State Fair gets more bees, more buzz Staff Report
This year, 513 bees were entered in competitions at the State Fair in comparison to the 326 last year, according to The News & Observer. The number of bees entered in competitions at the State Fair can vary from year to year depending on the weather. The increase in numbers came as a surprise and the Bee and Honey Exhibit was the first to notice the rise in entries. Beekeepers can also enter into 87 different categories, according to the News & Observer. Honey is judged on many factors at the State Fair, including density, cleanliness of the jar and the absence of

policies, according to The National Center for Higher Education Risk Management. “I know they have discussed it … but there are no immediate plans for changes in the Code of Conduct,” McGresham said. The current policy includes a requirement of consent, however it does not explicitly define consent. It states: “‘Without consent’ means that an act was committed against a person either by force (threat, coercion, or intimidation), or without the person’s agreement or permission to allow another person to commit an act.” It also states that, “A person who is incapacitated as a result of alcohol or drug consumption (voluntary or involuntary); who is unconscious, unaware, or asleep during the act; or who is under the legal age to provide consent, is incapable of giving consent.” While the “Yes Means Yes” campaign has gotten national attention, there is some doubt to its effectiveness. “Here at NC State, most people get that consent is a

big part of preventing sexual violence,” McGresham said. “When you agree to the student code of conduct here, it is already implicit. For us, the challenge is creating a community that is less tolerant to sexual violence. We have to make it clear to perpetrators that that behavior is not tolerated.” NC State has introduced various outreach and awareness programs in an effort to communicate this attitude. The Women’s Center holds workshops about sexual abuse and sexual violence, all of which address the issue of consent. The university also showed a presentation on consent for all new students during the New Student Orientation. NC State recently implemented the “It’s On Us” campaign, an online movement sponsored by the White House. However, some students also argue that NC State should change its definition of consent in the Code of Conduct to abide by the affirmative standard.
“I think that they should do as much as they can to prevent situations where consent could be considered controversial or foggy,” said Morgan Impink, a freshman in bioprocessing science. “I don’t think ‘It’s On Us’ does enough. Signing a pledge online isn’t a binding agreement.” Others believe that the school is taking measures in the right direction to prevent sexual assault. “The ‘It’s On Us’ campaign is great because it helps to spread awareness,” said Rhiannon Crisp, a sophomore in polymer and color chemistry. “I think that it has really great potential to help, especially on a college campus.” Culture change is something that takes time, according to McGresham. “I don’t think we are there yet, but we are raising awareness and are working to make people see early on that their responsibility in the Wolfpack is maintaining that safe place,” McGresham said.

Triangle system transportation to get redesign Deirdre An Correspondent
Triangle system transportation is currently going through a rebranding process that involves uniting the five main providers of public transportation in the Triangle area under one name, “Go.” Raleigh city council has most recently approved of this change, and soon the Capital Area Transit will be changed to GO Raleigh. Currently two of the five transit systems, Chapel Hill Transit and Cary’s C-Tran, are awaiting further meetings to continue with this rebranding. Triangle Transit and Durham Area Transit have already accepted this movement, and will become GO Triangle and GO Durham. Many students around NC State rely heavily on the bus system for transportation. All students are eligible for a GoPass which allows them access to any of the five buses running in the Triangle area. “I use the bus to get to events downtown,” said Tyler Murphy, a freshman in engineering. “It is so much easier than walking or finding parking.” This is not the first time the different transportation systems in the Triangle area have joined forces. “The various transit providers in the Triangle have a long history of working together. After having success with these other areas, we then decided to turn our

Cameron Millett, sophomore in accounting, boards the number 11 Avent Ferry CAT bus Tuesday afternoon on Trailwood Drive. Triangle area public buses, including the Capital Area Transit, Triangle Transit Authority and Durham Area Transit Authority, will all soon be operating under the “Go” brand. Now buses will have similar paint jobs and be operating with similar names such as “Go Raleigh” and “Go Durham.” All NC State students will still be able to ride for free on the buses with GoPasses, which can be acquired from the university transportation office.
attention to how we market to our customers,” said Damien Graham, Triangle Transit’s director of communications and public affairs. “Our goal from the outset was to find a new name and design scheme that would allow for local flavor and identity but would demonstrate regional connection. We believe the ‘Go’ concept achieves this goal.” Although the rebranding of the transit systems means that there will be a mutual name and design scheme shared, each system will re-
main separately under the jurisdiction of their area. “By adding a common design scheme and name change to the area bus systems we are hoping to demonstrate to our customers that even though we have multiple transit systems in operation, they do connect and coordinate with one another,” Graham said. The rebranding process will be a gradual change to coordinate. Once the final details are set, Triangle Transit systems plan to have press events in order to educate the public
on the new designs and system. There will also be publicity on social media sites. This process will take several months to complete with new paint for the buses and uniforms for employees. “Generally as we move forward with this, a lot of rebranding ta kes place, sometimes with different entities overnight, and this is not one of these cases. We will be phasing in new paint schemes, websites, logos, uniforms and things in that nature, so it’s going to
take some time,” said David Eatman, transit administrator for Triangle Transit. “All of our communication resources are at least done and changed over to the new brand so we want the general public to be aware that there are smaller, gradual changes going through.” The city of Raleigh is also cycling in new buses and using the older ones as well. During the transition, there may be a combination of the old designed buses and the newly designed buses run-
ning all at once. “As new uniforms, signs, brochures and other collateral materials need to be produced, they will have the new design scheme on them,” Graham said. “Once all the old buses have cycled out, the new name and design concept will be quite powerful. In a perfect world, we would love to have one great reveal and have every bus, uniform, sign, brochure, etc. have the new name and design on it. Unfortunately, we don’t have the fiscal resources available to execute the transition in that matter, so we need to make this transition in the most economical way possible.” Currently, there are also a few buses running around Raleigh that have not yet received a painted design. “I saw a plain white bus and I wasn’t sure what it was,” said Keion Henry, a freshman in management. “I did not take it because I was too confused on where it would particularly go.” Ideally, the department of transportation at Triangle Transit would want the customers to know that although the transit systems may be run by different sectors, they are very closely coordinated. “We [the transit providers] feel it is important to keep challenging ourselves to come up with new and innovative ways to connect with our customers and improve their overall experience with transit,” Graham said.
Diversity Week Forum highlights language, dialect Ian Grice Staff Writer
As part of NC State’s annual Diversity Education Week, the North Carolina Language and Life Project hosted the “Language Variation: The Forgotten Dimension of Diversity” to inform students about the importance of understanding language diversity. The forum was held in Withers Hall on Tuesday. Dialects are highly patterned, intricate and systematic varieties of a language, said Stephany Dunstan, assistant director at the Office of Assessment. Language isn’t usually part of the discussion on diversity, though it indicates race, gender, sex, sexual orientation and age, according to Audrey Jaeger, a professor of higher education. Language often serves as a proxy for other forms of discrimination that are illegal, Dunstan said. “Discrimination based on language variation is so commonly accepted, so widely perceived as appropriate, that it must be seen as the last back door to discrimination. And the door stands wide open,” said Rosina Lippi-Green, author of English with an Accent. Everyone who speaks a language speaks some dialect of that language. “Howl with an accent” is the new motto and tagline of the North Carolina Language and Life Project. “It’s the Wolfpack and we want to make sure that everyone can use their own
voice and that they will be treated with respect,” Dunstan said. Every student who comes from the 100 North Carolina Counties, 53 States in the United States and 119 countries represented at NC State add to the diversity of the linguistic lexicon, Dunstan said. “We want everyone who’s part of the Wolfpack community to feel like they can be comfortable to embrace their dialect and dialects of others and howl with an accent,” Dunstan said. Dialect isn’t just how someone pronounces words or accent but also grammar and vocabulary, for example whether you call it a shopping cart, buggy, grocery cart or trolley. According to Dunstan, people in media often use accents to indicate characters level of education or intelligence or sophistication. Associating dialects with certain characteristics has become culturally reinforced in movies and TV shows. There is a common myth that there is a single standard dia lect of Eng lish which is considered “correct” and which everyone should strive to speak. We should regard all these varieties as equal, because scientifically they are,” Dunstan said. There are significant scientific, social, historical, educational, and personal benefits from studying dialects, according to Dunstan. Language diversity affects your academic and social experience, and the way you
feel around your campus is inf luenced by how people react to your speech. People stop asking and answering questions when somebody laughs at them, Dunstan said. Guiding principles for the linguistic diversity program include creating an inclusive environment and recognizing the distinctions
between language differences and language deficits while getting to know those with whom you interact with. The North Carolina Language and Life project is also staffing a State Fair booth as a part of its service-learning and public outreach. If students want to know
more about language or their accents, they are encouraged to contact the program to be directed to additional resources for education on linguistics, peer ambassadors, co-directors and archived digital resources, Dunstan said. “The language diversity program is unique to NC
State, it’s an innovative program, it’s the first and only of its kind in the United States in higher education,” Dunstan said. “That’s something we’re proud of that NC State is a forerunner in embracing this type of diversity which is important in all of our lives.”

We should be able to vote on campus The unsigned editorial is the opinion of the members of Technician’s editorial board, excluding the news department, and is the responsibility of the editor-in-chief.
T
his year, NC State students will no longer be able to walk to Talley between classes to vote. Our campus had a polling place in 2012, but it will not for this election. The closest site is 3.6 miles away from campus at Chavis Community Center. Appalachian State University will now have an on-campus voting site, even though the Watauga County Elections Board voted against it 4-1, according to the News & Observer. The N&O reported a North Carolina trial court judge said the board’s plan must now include an on-campus voting site. We at the Technician believe there should be a voting site at NC State for every future election. If a site were at Talley, students would be much more likely to vote because of its accessibility. The New York Times reported in the 2010 midterm election that 3.9 percent of voters were age 18-25, and
in 2008, young voters accounted for 10.4 percent. In the ASU ruling, NC Superior Court Judge Donald Stephens asked for a judicial review of the decision of the Watauga County Election Board, the N&O reported. Voting should always be easily accessible to college students, according to Stephens, who said he could “conclude no other intent from that board’s decision other than to discourage student voting. A decision based on that intent is a significant infringement of students’ rights to vote and rises to the level of a constitutional violation of the right to vote.” If students are informed and wish to exercise their Constitutional right, there should be no obstacles. If the voting site is hard to get to, students are apt to skip the ordeal in favor of studying for a class they’re paying thousands of dollars to attend. S t u d e nt G ove r n m e nt should take a greater initiative to advocate for an oncampus polling site.
According to The New York Times, Hagan won for the first time in 2008 by only 8 percentage points. Young voters were a large factor in this, as they gave her 71 percent of their votes. NC State has more than 35,000 adults with the right to vote. Regardless of whom you vote for, you can make an impact. Our vote can have a huge impact in this election. Politico reported that Wake County is one of the counties that could tip the balance of power in the U.S. Senate. For that reason, students now more than ever should be able to vote on campus. Regardless of the party you associate yourself with, get to the polls and vote. Early voting begins Thursday, and Election Day is Nov. 4. If we as students turn out in large numbers, it will show lawmakers that regardless of the obstacles some legislators attempt to put in our way, our voice and our vote will not be silenced.
Don’t let laughter silence her cries.

How to get away with sexual assault C
omedian Hannibal Buress made several jokes about Bill Cosby during a set in Philadelphia Thursday night, calling the elder comedian a rapist. Buress sa id most people who hear his set about Cosby don’t believe it. According Nicky Vaught to Gawker, Opinion Editor 13 women have come forward, alleging that Cosby sexually assaulted or raped them. In their summaries, many mention the use of drugs as his primary tool for coercion. Cosby was never charged with anything. It’s startling how these allegations are unknown to the general public, especially considering Cosby’s status. Or, perhaps, his status is exactly what keeps these allegations under the rug. As many people know, Cosby starred in the 1980s sitcom, The Cosby Show, which revolutionized both the sitcom industry and how the United States viewed the black family unit. Given its success and subsequent branding of the Cosby name, it makes sense that people would want to ignore evidence that such an otherwise respectable comedian (one who takes pride in never cussing on stage) would be capable of such heinous crimes. The same could be said for other game-changing performers accused of or charged with sexual assault, abuse, or rape. John Lennon, one of the most representative figures of the peace movement, abused both his first wife, Cynthia, and his second wife, Yoko Ono, on multiple occasions. Dylan Farrow, the adopted daughter of Woody Allen and Mia Farrow, has claimed that her father, arguably the most influential comedian of modern time, sexually abused her for most of her young life. She published an open letter re-

“We were too open-minded to be devout Catholics.” a higher power in our home. We may not all have believed in the same thing, but we believed in something. We were too open-minded to be devout Catholics. For example, in our minds, being gay should not be a sin, and a woman should be able to choose what she would like to do with a seed growing inside of her. I believe that everybody deserves unconditional love no matter what the “rules” are in the Bible. If somebody is truly a good person but is in a committed relationship with the same sex, who cares what some Bible verse says? This past Saturday, the Catholic Church took a step toward that direction. Pope Francis called for a family synod early this month, and it finished on the 19th. According to US News, this synod on the family is the first forum of its kind in nearly 30 years. Though the aspects of homosexual acceptance could not receive the two-thirds vote required for it to be put
in writing this time, I still believe this loss was a win. Simply talking about homosexual acceptance is a huge step in the right direction. If the church did not care about people of different sexual orientations and did not think of them as part of the church, they would not even bother adding the topic to such an important gathering. There were bishops who voted for acceptance, which would make anybody also in favor of acceptance jump for joy. This synod was only one of two, with the second following a tentative schedule for next year to f inalize the decision. This type of conversation in the church forum is a very large part in accepting gays into the church. Though this is great, I am not going to hold my breath. Pope Fra ncis has made statements in the past about acceptance, but in most churches the homosexual population is still shunned. According to CatholicVote. com, he said, “When I meet a gay person, I have to distinguish between their being gay and being part of a lobby. If they accept the Lord and have goodwill, who am I to judge them? They shouldn’t be margina lized. The tendency [to homosexuality] is not the problem…they’re our brothers.” This statement is great, yeah, but it has a disappointing underlying meaning. He is saying that being homosexual is not the problem, but acting on those desires to commit homosexual acts is a sin. So he means they shouldn’t be marginalized if they accept God and resist their temptations. I interpret what he’s saying as if you deny yourself of who you are, you will be just fine. So all the gays who want to

be accepted in the church just have to be unhappy for the rest of their lives, right? This is all dandy, but why is the interpretation of a book that is worshiped by millions being decided by a bunch of regular people in the first place? Whatever these people decide will be thought of as fact by countless people. The Bible was written thousands of years ago and translated so many times that nobody truly knows what messages it is trying to convey. People should decide on their own what to believe in, and take all outside inf luences with a grain of salt. Even in works of literary fiction which have been translated, the instructor usually says “This may not be what the author meant because it has been translated into English.” And that work was most likely written more recent than 1,000 years ago. Even the Pope thinks disagreement is acceptable with these issues. According to The Guardian, he said, “Personally I would have been very worried and saddened if there hadn’t been these … animated discussions … if everyone had agreed with one another or had kept silent in a false and acquiescent peace.” If we can’t all agree, why don’t we just agree to disagree and accept everyone for who they are? Even the Pope of the traditionally stringent church has an open mind. “God is not afraid of new things,” Pope Francis said during the conclusion of the Synod on Saturday evening. “That is why he is continuously surprising us, opening our hearts and guiding us in unexpected ways.”

IN YOUR WORDS
counting her experiences in The New York Times in February. Still, Allen remains widely respected with no end to his career in sight. Bill Murray, Sean Penn, Ozzy Osbourne, Christian Slater, Tommy Lee and a whole host of other people have been accused of some sort of gender- or sex-related violence. All of these people still have successful and f lourishing careers in entertainment and remain big household names. It seems a little dubious that many are still willing to support these people, especially compared to the general public’s response to such recent events in the sports world. People have called for the termination of Ray Rice’s career, yet no one calls for the end of any of these other performers’ careers. Granted, having the monolith that is the NFL makes it much easier to terminate certain players from the game than it would to stop actors and musicians from creating art on their own time. The point is: there is little public outcry about these crimes when it’s our beloved, nonathletic performers committing them. Why this discrepancy? One glaringly obvious factor is that of race. Athletes who get into trouble, such as Michael Vick, Adrian Peterson and Ray Rice, are black more often than not. Their crimes are seen as evidence of black brutality, perpetuating the stereotype of the angry black man. On the other hand, most of the other performers who escape public ridicule for their sexual aggressions are white. Though it may be unlikely that the general populace is more forgiving of white people who commit these crimes, it is likely that the public is (consciously or unconsciously) harsher on black perpetrators. It is important to keep in mind that the dominant culture—or at least the dominant voice in our culture, and thereby the dominant voice of
the general populace—is one of whiteness. I cannot speak for the black perspective on these issues, and I will not attempt to do so. Of course, Bill Cosby stands as an exception. And it’s easy to see why. His show lasted for nearly a decade because it catered so well to white audiences. Though about black people, The Cosby Show rarely, if ever, made white people feel bad about racism in the United States. Mike Budd and Clay Steinman go so far as to say The Cosby Show perpetuated the idea that racism in the U.S. was over in their Jump Cut article, “White racism and ‘The Cosby Show.’” For the show to be successful, Cosby had to appeal to whiteness, allowing white people to form the same connection with his onscreen family as they would with, for example, Woody Allen’s characters. As Buress points out, Cosby talks down to black people, essentially separating himself from today’s black entertainment culture. It would be wrongfully dichotomous to say that because there is a disconnect between Cosby and other black people there is a connection between Cosby and white people, but the said disconnect certainly does strengthen the existing appeal to whiteness. It seems when white people are able to identify with people in the media, it makes it that much harder for them to accept that those people are sexual assailants. Considering that comedians often face numerous allegations compared to the very few that athletes face, it seems that our reluctance to criticize them enables more frequent offenses. There must be no sympathy for abusers or rapists—this includes comedians and musicians. Until we can be as harsh on non-athletic entertainers as we are on athletes, those entertainers will be able to get away with sexual assault frequently and easily.

Do you know who is using your online data? Sam Roberson Correspondent
Privacy and data collection concerns on websites like Facebook and Google have been in the spotlight for a while. With technology entering different facets of everyday life at an increasing rate, people are becoming more conscious of the information they give out and the data they leave behind. Yet many do not realize that colleges have quickly become a database for intimate details of students’ lives. When thinking of information that a college keeps on file, a student’s grades and transcript come to mind. Many do not think about all of the minor details that
are also being recorded. With student IDs, schools know when a student leaves and enters dorms, what they purchase for lunch, and when they study at the library. All this information can be very helpful for a college to make choices on cafeteria offerings, facility hours, and even on improving campus safety. However, concerns arise with the thought of outside sources obtaining access to this data. A profile on the daily lives of students would be very lucrative to a company seeking to learn about the valuable college demographic. “NC State does not give or sell data to third parties,” said Mardecia Bell, the director of security and compliance
at NC State’s Office of Information Technology. The Office of Assessment at State, which collects data on the student population, makes its motives clear. Its website reads, “The mission of the Office of Assessment in the Division of Academic and Student Affairs is to champion datainformed decision making across the institution.” The law in place protecting student information, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act is more than 40 years old. FERPA protects students’ educational records from being disclosed to outside sources. Since the law was enacted, new technologies have emerged and colleges have
started to keep track of much more information than what the bill originally addressed. Now in 2014, the area of what falls under these educational records is hazy. It is still up to debate exactly what kind of data on students is covered under this definition. “I trust that NC State will use data to improve campus life instead of making a profit,” said Brian Massy, a sophomore at NC State. While it appears colleges have been respectful of student data, worries continue w ith outside sources at schools collecting data. Earlier this year, Google admitted to scanning millions of email messages sent by students using their Apps for Education tool built for schools.
“We have put in place firewalls, encryption, and examine all outside programs to keep up with data protection,” Bell said. It remains up to a school’s judgment to make sure an online educational tool, like Moodle, is safe for student privacy before using these outside resources. “I think it is a responsibility of a university to use information for educational purposes and make sure it is not distributed to outside sources,” said Carlene Kucharczyk, a professor in the English department at State. Last month, the California legislature passed a bill prohibiting educational sites, apps and cloud services used by schools from selling or
revealing information about students from kindergarten through high school. While this bill does not protect college students, it brings up the discussion for colleges and governments around the country on how student data should be treated. “We, as universities, can provide a good example for business and government for responsible use of data,” Bell said. As more people are becoming aware of and involved in this topic, the way in which data can be used to improve public life and what is considered exploitation of this information will be made clear.
Young Ones tells the tale of a bleak future Young Ones Jake Paltrow Bifrost Pictures
Taylor Quinn Associate Features Editor
Young Ones tells a chillingly realistic tale of a world in a drought. Set in the future, a family struggles to live in the rural area where almost no water is present and is distributed in a way that gas is now. Jake Paltrow, the writer and director, brings this world to the screen in three separate parts: one for each of the main male characters. Ernest Holm (Michael Shannon) and Katherine Holm (Aimee Mullins) have two children, Mary (Elle Fanning) and Jerome (Kodi Smit-McPhee). Katherine has bionic legs and is always hooked up to a mechanism that holds her up, so she does not live with her family. It is never explained what caused this, but Katherine alludes to it being Ernest’s fault due to intoxication. Ernest devotes his life defending his barren farm in
hopes that the soil will be rejuvenated and able to produce resources for his family. Mary’s boyfriend, Flem (Nicholas Hoult) , secretly wants the land for himself and will do anything to obtain it. Mary is infatuated with Flem and doesn’t know anything about his secret desires. The film is very eerie and almost bland, which makes it very realistic. The plot line is mostly stagnant, which accurately reflects real life. The colors are mostly browns and tans, and almost no green appears until toward the end of the movie. The color scheme truly gets the audience in the mindset of living in an environment where absolutely nothing thrives. The cast’s costumes are also very realistic. They look dirty, and most of their faces looked sunburnt. The characters appear to have not showered in a very long time, given the lack of water. It looks as if the cast members had dirt thrown on them right before filming. The details in the movie were thought provoking because in the distant future, this movie’s plot could be-
come a reality. They were washing dishes with dirt, which was very interesting but made sense. There were no other resources available that could clear the plates. At one point, Jerome traveled to the city where people needed special passes to get in. It really emphasized the selfishness of the city-goers. Although they were aware that people living in rural areas were suffering, they ignored the problem because the city still had enough water. The actors were very believable but in times some of the scenes seemed forced. It is understandable that tensions would be high if there was barely any water left in the world, but the actors were a bit too dramatic. If these people grew up in a world where extreme drought is the norm, they should be more accustomed to this lifestyle, but some characters acted as if it was the end of the world. If you are looking for a movie to lift you spirits, don’t watch Young Ones. But, if you are looking for a truly thought-provoking film of a world that humanity could be facing in the near future, it’s worth the watch.

Coffee. Beer. People.
Brew Coffee Bar celebrates Raleigh coffee, beer and art Sarah Keener Staff Writer
Brew Coffee Bar on Seaboard Avenue in downtown Raleigh is a hub for people of all ages and backgrounds to come together and share the experience of well-crafted beer, coffee and art—all originating from within the Triangle. Thanks to owners A.J. Viola and Mike Sholar, at roughly seven weeks old, Brew is already establishing its roots in the Raleigh area by bringing together quality products from around the region and highlighting them in one venue. “For us, we liked the idea of acting as a gallery for coffee, beer and people. We do that through a lot of different ways, like rotating art on a monthly basis,” Viola said. “It’s just another way of highlighting some great people in our area. We [don’t] try to reinvent the wheel because there’s just so much good stuff already in our area. We just get to highlight it and say, ‘This is what’s great about Raleigh.’” Viola and Sholar have carefully cultivated Brew since its inception to be a strong establishment that reaches a high standard of quality. Excellence is the goal for all aspects of how the coffee bar operates. “Whatever standard you’re being measured against, it should meet or exceed whatever the best is out there,” Sholar said. Viola continued to explain what standard they hold their establishment to: “It’s like if you would be disappointed in any way if you got that, don’t serve it because it needs to be just as good, if not better, than what you would want served in front of you.” From their days running the Raleigh Coffee Club, a weekly coffee subscription for people to try a bunch of different coffee beans, Viola and Sholar forged relationships with coffee roasters in the area. “We were getting coffee directly from coffee roasters, and we were meeting people on street corners and giving bags of coffee. It was weird; we essentially turned into a weekly roaster coffee subscription,” Viola said. “You’d get to taste coffee from all around the Triangle. It was really cool and that really allowed us the opportunity to meet a lot of local roasters and to get to know a lot of the coffee shops in the area and see how they were producing coffee.” Viola and Sholar soon realized they needed to expand their business after the Raleigh Coffee Club became too large to handle. They both fell in love with the idea of
opening their own coffee shop. “For us, we wanted to create a space that would combine the things that we love; which was always coffee, beer and people. We wanted a place where all of those can come together and thrive and live in harmony,” Viola said. “I love coffee, I love beer, and the greatest conversations and relationships I have in my life tend to happen around those things. So we wanted to create a space that would make that happen. What if we made a coffee and beer bar? We were like, ‘Yeah we can do that. Who says we can’t?’” The duo quickly accomplished their goal within a year-and-a-half thanks to loans, help from friends and donations from patrons on Kickstarter. They raised $10,000 in two weeks and were blown away by the generosity of people in the community. Kickstarter patrons stop by to see their establishment all the time, according to Viola and Sholar. “Even if we’d never gotten a dollar from it, just to have people feel invested and feel connected to [the Brew] is worth the time and effort,” Sholar said. By featuring beer from regional breweries and coffee from roasters within the Triangle, the Brew is able to showcase all of what the Triangle has to offer its Raleigh residents. “Because our goal is to feature the best the Triangle has to offer in coffee and beer, we also feature an additional guest roaster on a rotating monthly basis,” Viola said. “Right now we have Torch Coffee Roasters out of East Raleigh. In November, we’ll have somebody else and that will always be rotating to highlight what other great coffee we have in the area.” “It’s the Raleigh Coffee Club all over again!” Scholar added. With beer from select establishments on draft, Brew implements a sort of tap-takeover to highlight a different brewery from the Triangle every month. Right now, they are featuring Raleigh Brewing Company and will feature Fortnight Brewing Company out of Cary next month. “We try to stick with some smaller microbreweries that aren’t getting a lot of attention and some newer people to have on draft where they might not be on draft at some of the bigger places,” Viola said. Brew continues to draw in customers thanks to the way the owners carefully present themselves, their products, and their business both in the shop and on social media. Brew has pages for Facebook,

Twitter, Instagram, Yelp and Foursquare. “That’s all our advertising; we don’t do any traditional advertising. It’s all word-of-mouth or social media-generated,” Sholar said. According to Viola, social media holds them to a higher standard because everything is documented. “Social media’s been huge for us. Especially when we’re on bar and I tell Mike, ‘Listen, do you want somebody to take a picture of that? Because if not, don’t send it because chances are they will,’” Viola said. “We have to think of that mentality [when serving] that everything is documented. Everyone is posting stuff and sharing it; we live in the most documented age ever.” What sets Brew Coffee Bar apart from other coffee shops in Raleigh is that it’s one of the only places to feature a Nitro cold-brew system for its coffee. They use cold-brew coffee that takes anywhere from 16 to 24 hours to brew. Once it’s ready, they keg the coffee and run it through their draft system with 100 percent nitrogen and pull it out through a Guinness creamtap handle. This allows the coffee to pour like a beer and form foam

on top like a Guinness or a Nitrostout beer, so it’s creamy in color and cascades like a beer would, according to Viola. “I saw some people doing [coldbrew] on the other side of the country on the West coast, but nobody’s really doing it around here like this. So I knew we were going to serve
cold-brew,” Viola said. “I always say cold-brew tastes like coffee smells. Nitrogen gives a little bit of an airy texture to it without adding any cream or anything like that. It’s one of our most popular items we have. Right now, we’re the only place really doing it like that in this area.”

website. One of the unique aspects for members of the men’s club basketball team is the benefit of participating in the club national championships hosted by NC State. “At the end of the year we host the national tournament for club sports,” Simons said. “Around 80 national teams come to play at State.” As universities from all across the country travel to Raleigh for the tournament, Wolfpack players must simply take a short walk across campus to Carmichael Arena for the championships. The tournament features three days of nonstop action. Teams are first divided into groups for pool play. The group stage is entirely like the World Cup format in that four teams compose each group and the top two teams out of each group advance to Championship Sunday. Championship Sunday provides the weekend tournament with an ultimate climax by creating a 16-team single elimination bracket to crown the nation’s top club basketball team. Last year’s NC State squad made it to the final day, but fell in the first round of

For NC State males interested in playing on a highly competitive basketball team complete with practices, away games and intense postseason tournaments, the NC State men’s club basketball team provides the perfect opportunity. Prospective players should be aware that the club competition does not showcase your average crop of pick-up game material. Athletes on the club level have been known to be past high school basketball stars who received scholarship offers from small colleges, but declined such invitations in favor of attending a university where they believed a more prestigious degree could be attained. “It’s open to all students,” said Ben Simons, a sophomore and head coach of the men’s club basketball team. “We’ve already had tryouts for this year’s full season.” However, as Simons said, new students are welcome to try out for the team at the beginning of September 2015. Those who are interested can connect with Simons through the University Recreation

the knockout stage. Simons and company are back this year with vengeance. The team is led by co-captains senior Christian Council and sophomore Austin Louthan. Council’s excellent athleticism and quick first step will give defenses fits all season long. Look for Council to lead all scores for the Pack this year. As for Louthan, his playmaking ability and deadly strike beyond the arc will be a nightmare for opponents. Louthan’s shooting style possesses a type of Stephen Curry-esque mechanics in that he quickly transitions from catching to shooting seamlessly and releases the ball at a much higher position than most players. The team began its season on Sept. 25 in winning fashion. The Wolfpack defeated the Duke Blue Devils by a score of 68-48 in Carmichael. Since the Wolfpack’s debut, the team had a home game against East Carolina and road matches against NC Central and UNC-Greensboro. The men’s club team will be back in action this weekend as they take on the Tar Heels at UNC-Chapel Hill.

Dempster, Horton and Powell each won their first round matches. Once advancing to the second round, Mudge, Norenius, Horton and Powell continued to survive, furthering themselves to the round of 32. Half of the Wolfpack contenders were knocked out on Friday, as Powell and Mudge we’re the only remaining players in the round of 16. Powell fell to Duke freshman Nicolas Alvarez, 6-3, 6-4, while Mudge emerged victorious over South Carolina senior Thiago Pinheiro, 6-1, 6-3. Mudge competed formidably, but was defeated in the quarterfinals by UNCCH’s No. 1 seed sophomore Brayden Schnur, 6-2, 6-4. Shnur would go on to win the singles title over Duke’s No. 4 seed senior Jason Tahir, 6-3, 6-2.
The regionals tournament completed the Wolfpack squad’s fall tennis season in singles, but with the dominant doubles victory, Mudge and Dempster have earned an automatic bid to the USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships to be played Nov. 6-9 at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, New York. “I think they would’ve been going to New York anyway since they’re highly ranked,” head coach Jon Choboy said. “They’ll obviously be going now since they won the tournament which is nice. They’re one of the best teams in the country. They haven’t played their best tennis in this tournament, but they found ways to win the crucial points.”

Bilis named conference Swimmer of the Week Junior NC State men’s swimming & diving team member Simonas Bilis was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Male Swimmer of the Week, the conference office announced Tuesday. The Panevezys, Lithuania native swept three sprint freestyle events and sealed the Wolfpack’s victory against top-five foe Georgia on Saturday by anchoring the 400 free relay team that decided the outcome of the meet with a first-place finish. Bilis recorded three NCAA ‘B’ cuts on the day, as he finished first in the 50 (19.96), 100 (43.74) and the 200 (1:37.02) freestyle events. His time in the 200 freestyle currently leads the country this season, while his time in the 50 and 100 free lead the conference and rank among the top five in the nation. In the final relay, Bilis teamed with Ryan Held, David Williams, Andreas Schiellerup to break the pool record with a time of 2:56.12 and recorded the fastest time in the country this season in the event.

Pack dominates at regionals Jake Lange Associate Sports Editor
The NC State men’s tennis team made an impactful appearance at the 2014 ITA Carolina Regionals, which was hosted at the Cary Tennis Complex from Thursday through Monday. The No. 9 doubles pair of senior Robbie Mudge and sophomore Ian Dempster highlighted the event for the Pack, as the tandem won the entire doubles portion of the tournament among a field of 64 teams. “It feels really good to win,” Dempster said. “We played a lot of tough matches leading up to this. We played good tennis from Thursday to today.” Doubles play began with four teams competing for the Wolfpack in the round of 64. Although Mudge and Dempster were given a bye in the first round, the doubles teams of senior Beck Bond and freshman Shoti Meparidze, and sophomore Nick Horton and junior Thomas Weigel each easily advanced to the second round. The pair of junior Simon Norenius and senior Austin Powell fell to the Appalachian State pairing of junior Zach Bost and sophomore Oliver Casey. Dempster and Mudge were the only Pack pair to win in the second round, advancing them to the round of 16. The power combo survived and advanced through the tournament, defeating Coastal Carolina’s senior Kaue Pereira and senior Phillipe Tsangarides, South Carolina’s senior Andrew Adams and senior

Augusto and senior Hunter Harrington, the pair that eliminated Bond and Meparidze, 8-4, in the second round. Augosto and Harrington captured the first break of the match to take a 2-0 lead, then taking
advantage, won the first set, 6-3. Mudge and Dempster accrued a dominant 5-0 lead in the second. The pair closed the set, 6-3, to force a third-set tiebreak. Clemson took a 9-7 lead in the tiebreak and had match point twice. “I was just thinking to get the serve inside the box and hit the spot that Ian [Dempster] called,” Mudge said. “Luckily it went well for us on those points. I didn’t really serve all that well for most of the match, but positive reinforcement from Ian helped me play well for those two points.” With Mudge serving, the Pack’s dynamic duo was able to save two straight match points and extend the tiebreak to 9-9. Mudge went on to win his next service point, as a forehand into the net by Clemson secured the exhilarating win for Mudge and Dempster, 3-6, 6-3, 1-0 (9). “There isn’t much to it really,” Dempster said. “You just have to play your game, focus as much as you can, and hope you can get the `W’ at the end if you do all of the right things.” Throughout the tournament, Mudge and Dempster earned four victories in a tiebreak, which included a 10-point tiebreak to decide the match in the semifinal and the final.

As former NC State men’s basketball standout, T.J. Warren, preps for his NBA debut, he is determined to become a successful player for years to come. Forgoing his junior and senior years at State, Warren elected to enter the 2014 NBA Draft this past spring with the hopes of making it big in the NBA. The Phoenix Suns selected Warren with the 14th overall pick in the draft believing he would help propel them to a playoff spot they narrowly missed last season. Through four preseason games, Warren has averaged 6.3 PPG, 2.5 RPG and 12 minutes per game. His best showing came on an Oct. 10 meeting with the Denver Nuggets where he recorded 10 points and six rebounds in 13 minutes. Warren has yet to shoot below 50 percent in the preseason In his first three games, Warren saw his playing time increase more and more, topping out at 21 minutes against Denver. His most recent outing against the San Antonio Spurs saw him score four points in 12 minutes. The Suns had no trouble scoring points last season, averaging 105.2 per game, good enough for seventh in the league. Warren’s ability to stretch the floor with his three-point shot and drive to the basket with his signature floater will only feed fuel to the fire that is the offensive attack of the Suns. Warren is listed as a small forward for the Suns and third on
the depth chart, behind starter and fellow North Carolina native P.J. Tucker and Marcus Morris. The Suns’ opening night roster will most likely not include Warren, as Tucker is a veteran at the position with three years of experience under his belt. However, the Suns are a team loaded with guards with likes of Goran Dragic and Eric Bledsoe, but remain thin in the frontcourt, so look for Warren to get decent amounts of playing time in the early weeks of the season. Of the eight players listed in the frontcourt, in theory, six of them could play small forward. Although listed as power forwards, Markieff Morris, Anthony Tolliver and Shavilk Randolph are all adept at playing the position.
