Head Coach Mark Gottfried talks to the media after Throwback with the Pack in Reynolds Coliseum Friday. “I thought the idea to have a throwback-type game and bring the legends back was perfect for what’s going to happen,” Gottfried said.
In conjunction with the White House’s “It’s On Us” campaign, geared toward ending sexual assault on college campuses, NC State released a PSA video Thursday addressing sexual assault that features a variety of students, faculty and staff from across campus. Carson Shepherd, student government director of University Affairs, a junior in political science and the driving force behind the creation of the video, said she thought it would be beneficial for NC State to have a personalized version of the national PSA released by the White House.
“You can watch it and say ‘Oh that’s my roommate, my professor, the chancellor, or athletes on campus,’” Shepherd said. Student Health Services, the Counseling Center, the Women’s Center, the GLBT Center, Multicultural Student Affairs as well as NC State’s students, faculty and staff all appear in the PSA as advocates of sexual assault prevention. The variety of people in the video reinforce the idea that sexual assault is not a singular issue, and everyone on a college campus plays a vital role in helping to prevent and spread awareness about sexual assault. Professors, athletes, members of the administrative staff, Greek life, student media and student govern-

dents excited about NC State Basketball,” Mau said. With basketball season just around the corner, students are doing what they can to earn extra tickets and interact with fellow sports enthusiasts. This event offered attendees a chance to earn six loyalty points towards acquiring basketball and other athletics tickets.
Senator Kay Hagan, an incumbent Democratic candidate for the upcoming senatorial midterm elections, will be visiting NC State today at 3 p.m. for an education press conference. The conference is closed to the public, but about 50 people who were personally invited by Hagan’s campaign will be allowed to attend the event. Organizers wanted to keep the conference small for the press, and due to space restrictions, no more than 50 attendees are allowed into the conference while Hagan is at NC State. Because it is a campaign event, only supporters of Kay Hagan were invited to attend. In addition to Hagan, two students will speak at the event. Hagan will then hold a Q&A with the press. The conference is set to last about one hour. Hagan will discuss education during the conference. The event is part of her education tour across the state and she will be speaking at other schools in the UNC-System later this week. Hagan is seeking to be reelected

Since the late 1970s, eager sports fans have gathered for the student-wide Campout in hopes of receiving NC State basketball tickets. This year’s Student Government, along with University Athletics, the Union Activities Board and University Recreation, hosted Campout and Throwback with
the Pack in Talley Student Union, Reynolds Coliseum, and Miller Fields Friday. Although both Campout and Throwback to the Pack took place Friday night, the events were separate from each other. Student Government was responsible for running Campout, according to Student Body President Rusty Mau. “The most important part about Campout is preserving the tradition of camping out, to get stu-
Campus Police releases 2013 crime statistics in annual report Coleen Kinen-Ferguson Staff Writer
The 2014 Annual Security and Fire Safety Report shows that drug and alcohol offenses are some of the most commonly reported on campus. The report, which was released this month, includes crime statistics at NC State from 2011 to 2013. NC State Police Chief Jack Moorman said larceny still remains the biggest crime on campus, although larceny statistics are not included in the annual report.
Campus Police reported 479 disciplinary referrals for liquor law violations, 68 disciplinary referrals for drug abuse violations, 17 burglaries, and six sexual offenses for 2013 in the 2014 Annual Security and Fire Safety Report. Since 2011, Campus Police have made 48 drug abuse and 111 liquor law arrests. Also since 2011, 274 people have been referred for disciplinary action for drug abuse and 1,538 people have been referred for liquor law violations. The number of reported drug- and alco-
hol-related arrests has decreased since 2011. Campus police made 74 arrests for drug abuse violations and 37 arrests for liquor law violations in 2011 and made only 48 for drug abuse violations and 19 for liquor law violations in 2013. While nationally considered to be vastly underreported, Campus Police has reported 20 forcible sexual assaults since 2011. However, statistics from the White House suggest 22 percent of college women have been victims of physical abuse, sexual abuse or threats of physical violence.
The categories of different crimes included in the report are all based on the definitions listed by the Department of Education, which all Campus Police are required to follow. “For us, any incident or report of violent crime is too many,” said NC State Police Chief Jack Moorman. “We do not want crime to occur on our campus.” Moorman said crime prevention begins

ment are all featured in the video. C. Ellen Washington, assistant director for leadership and scholar in residence at NC State’s Women’s Center, said the video’s value is the broad spectrum of people who participated. “That lets me know that it’s across campus and not just in certain pockets on campus,” Washington said. One in five women is sexually assaulted during her college years, and only 13 percent of rape survivors report their assault, according to White House statistics. “I believe that knowledge and power is the key to ending sexual assault,” Shepherd said. “A lot of people don’t realize, even making jokes about sexual assault is out of line. That’s a culture shift that needs to happen on campus, and educating people ends the ignorance around it.” The “It’s On Us” campaign aims to change

Sydney Levine, a freshman in elementary education, said the evening was split into two events, Throwback with the Pack and Campout. Throwback with the Pack took place before the Campout event. “It got me excited for basketball season, and was a good campus event,” Levine said. At Throwback with the Pack, alumni and previous NC State basketball players competed in tournaments against the NC State men’s and women’s basketball teams. Students attending Campout were required to bring their own camping gear, tents, flashlights, snacks and sleeping bags to camp on Miller Fields from Friday evening until Saturday morning, swiping their students IDs at various designated times to be sure they attended the whole event. Students were then required to swipe into the Campout event and pitch tents for the night. Campus a cappella groups, including Ladies in Red and Grains of Time, performed and entertained guests throughout the night. At 2:30 a.m. there was another designated swipe time at Campout.

the discussions and attitudes that surround sexual assault, emphasizing the importance that other people, not just the victim, have in preventing it from happening. Another facet of the campaign is inclusivity, which aims to raise awareness about the many different people who can be affected by sexual assault. “There are other threats besides men, other victims besides women, and resources for people no matter who they are in terms of their identity who may be dealing with these problems,” said Renee Wells, director of NC State’s GLBT Center. “We are committed to supporting everyone through that process here at State.” Wells said one of the things the university should always consider and emphasize is inclusivity. “So much of the focus around issues, whether its prevention, response, or support, is focused on women as victims and men as the perpetrators,” Wells said. “But it’s also important to be aware that men can be victims, women can be perpetrators, and that

NC State traditions of acquiring basketball tickets have been occurring since the 1970s. Originally, students would campout at Reynolds Coliseum to gain their basketball tickets. NC State’s Student Government thought it best to preserve this tradition of camping, so it began the annual Campout. Campout was held at PNC arena the past two years, but was switched to Miller Fields this year to preserve the outdoor camping experience that had originally taken place. Along with Student Government, UAB was another prime coordinator of the event. The Inter-Residence Council and University Recreation also contributed to the organization of the Campout. “It’s an organic tradition,” Mau said. “Campout is a great example of the hard work of our Student Government and our working with other student organizations, as well.” Mau said he considered the event a success that further stimulated student involvement and encouragement of attending athletic events.

issues of sexual assault can occur in same sex relationships as well.” By watching the video and taking part in the campaign, members of NC State’s campus are expected to take an active role in preventing sexual assault, Shepherd said. “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor,” Shepherd said in the PSA. While the video is one step the university has taken to help change the discussion surrounding sexual assault, the fight against sexual assault on college campuses does not stop here, Wells said. “One thing we have to be cognizant about is to make sure that we have many efforts and many initiatives around awareness, prevention, and education,” Wells said. “The PSA is one piece of what we’re doing at NC State. It’s an important step in the journey that is ongoing.” In the event that a student is sexually assaulted, there are a variety of resources available to them, and there are several programs on campus designed to prevent sexual assault.

The Relationship and Sexual Violence Phone Line is a hotline for students, faculty and staff facing gender-based issues, such as sexual assault, dating violence and stalking. The Women’s Center and Counseling Center also have staff members and programs in place to assist victims of sexual assault and offer victims’ individual needs. The Office for Institutional Equity and Diversity also has a Title IX committee designed to prevent and address sexual discrimination within the university system. Title IX is a civil rights law prohibiting discrimination in education programs and activities receiving federal funds. “I think it’s good that it’s getting a big push,” said Zack Lentz, a graduate student in biological engineering. “I don’t think there’s any one clear solution to ending sexual assault, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction. Every little bit helps.”

against Republican candidate Thom Tillis in what has been regarded by multiple sources as the most important senatorial race in the country, as well as one of the most expensive. Democrats are currently fighting to maintain control over the U.S. Senate, and Hagan’s seat has been named vital to maintaining that control. Due to donations from wealthy donors such as the Koch Brothers, Art Pope, George Soros and Michael Bloomberg, this senate race has become one of the U.S. first political races to reach the $100 million mark, according to the Charlotte Observer. According to Huffington Post poll tracking, Hagan is ahead of Tillis with 44.9 percent of voter support. Tillis is estimated to have 42.1 percent, and libertarian candidate Sean Haugh is estimated to have 5.2 percent. The same poll tracker suggested a 58.9 percent probability Hagan will beat Tillis as well a 65 percent probability republicans will take control of the senate after the midterm elections.

Showcasing the future of transportation Deirdre An Correspondent
Students were able to get a glimpse into the future of transportation when the Brickyard hosted an Alternative Vehicles Showcase Thursday in the Brickyard, after the event was postponed due to inclement weather. The Brickyard hosted several fuel-efficient, ‘smart’ cars, such as the Tesla Model S and the Nissan Leaf. Other groups offering alternative, susta i nable met hods of transportation, such as GoTriangle Transit and WolfWheels, also presented their services to environmentally conscious students and visi-
tors to the showcase. “I just think the fact that there are so many different manufactures that are involved to see what they can contribute is rea lly something,” said Campbell Lovett, a sales representative for Nissan. “I just think it’s great that we can come together to celebrate this newage technology which are these sustainable cars, and it’s starting to become more mainstream. Even younger students between the ages of 18 and 22 are showing a general interest in it.” In addition to the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Showcase, NC State will host the Southeast Alternative Fuels Conference and Expo at the
Raleigh Convention Center Oct. 22–24. The new NC State Stewards hosted a table in the center of t he Brick yard showcase. The Stewards, who work with the Office of Sustainability, displayed mounted bicycles that measured the amount of energy generated when ridden. Eric Rizzo, an NC State Steward and a senior in polymer and color chemistry, said the goal of the presentation was to get people to ride bikes. “Energy is a hard thing and it a very abstract concept, so if you ride the bike and look at the sign to see how long you would have to ride the bike at a pace to power
something, you can conceptualize energy,” Rizzo said. “We are raising awareness on what energy is.” The electric Tesla Model S sparked the interest of many students, such as Omar Halawani, a second-year student studying human biology, by going up to 275 miles at 65 mph without producing any carbon emissions. “I love the Tesla. The door handles on that are awesome,” Halawani said. “They hide and they pop out when you get close to them.” The GoTriangle bus system’s display encouraged public transportation alternatives that benefit the environment and help alleviate traffic congestion especially
with the construction taking place near Interstate 440. For many students, the event was an opportunity to explore different vehicles and earn free swag by participating in trivia games and visiting tables. “I had a crazy rush of students trying to get Tshirts, so I think they were very interested in the shirts and event information in general,” said Paul Straw, a sustainable travel specialist with Triangle Transit. “We have had a lot of engaging conversations so far.” Connor Norris, a firstyear student studying environmental science, said he appreciated what the event offered and looks forward
to upcoming events by the Office of Sustainability. “I think the coolest part is being able to share all these different looking vehicles like the extended Beetle or some cars I have never seen before that are actually safe and could be better in sustainability,” Norris said. This event is part of the NC State Office of Sustainability’s Change Your State campaign, an initiative to teach students, faculty members and staff how they can do little things to lead a sustainable life. The NC State Office of Sustainability, Staff Senate and NC State Energy management sponsored the event.

with awareness, which is targeted on campus through the use of emergency notification systems. Wolf Alert notifications are used when there is an ongoing threat to campus community. “If we have an incident and we make an arrest, there’s no ongoing threat so we wouldn’t send out an alert,” Moorman said. “WolfAlerts can also serve as a crime warning, which typically include email or text alerts informing faculty, students and staff that a crime has occurred on campus.” A more immediate alert is known as an emergency notification, the WolfAlert siren system, which may be broadcasted throughout campus. These are typically reserved for tornadoes, shootings and other emergencies that require immediate action on the part of faculty, students and staff. NC State’s police department stresses the importance of bystander intervention in crime prevention, according to Moorman. “Safety is a shared responsibility,” Moorman said. “As the police department, we can’t do it alone. If you see something that’s not right, report it.” The police department is currently developing strategies and techniques for promoting bystander intervention on campus. However, some students refrain from calling NC State police because they feel as if there’s nothing to be done about their situation. “My bike was stolen last year,” said Ivy Hubbard, second-year student studying nuclear engineering. “I didn’t have it registered with the police or anything, so I didn’t bother to report it because what could they have done?” Larceny occurs more frequently than other crimes on campus, as it is often a crime of opportunity, Moorman said. Students often leave laptops and other valuable possessions in the library while they are taking a phone call or using the restroom. “Take your items of value with you,” Moorman said. “People will also break into vehicles when they see valuables inside or find the car unlocked.” To try and prevent larceny, Campus Police’s crime prevention unit offers an engraving and identification service for

personal belongings. It will document the make, model and serial numbers of any valuables, as well as engrave driver’s license numbers onto items to aid in identification should it be lost and returned. Moorman said he recommends students have their bikes registered with the police department, as police will provide bike decals for registered bikes, which can deter potential thieves. Bikes should always be locked up with a sturdy U-bolt lock, as most standard bike locks can easily be broken. The police report also includes personal safety tips for students, including the safety escort program that operates between the hours of 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. “We want to make sure we’re doing what we can to prevent people on campus from becoming the victims of crimes,” Moorman said. “Campus Police will provide safety escorts for students, faculty and staff on campus. We don’t want anyone walking on campus alone late at night. We will send somebody to pick you up or walk with you.”

Whitewashing taints representation S
carlett Johansson is up for a new role. DreamWorks Studios has recently offered Johansson a staggering $10 million to star in its live-action adaptation of the anime juggernaut, Ghost in the Shell. The problem with this? The protagonist of the Ghost in the Shell franchise, Motoko Kusanagi, is Japanese. Scarlett Johansson is decidedly not. Many movie adaptations get away with whitewashing their main characters. This occurs a lot of the Mary Anna time because some books do not provide Rice vivid descriptions of Correspondent their protagonists. When a character is not designated physical characteristics by the author, the character’s race is automatically dictated to be white by those adapting the novel. White is treated as the default. It is rare to see a nondescript character being portrayed by a black or Asian actor. If and when they are, they are often reduced to stereotypes (i.e. the black gang member, the overworked Asian student). Even worse, some adaptations of previous works are made with descriptions of characters in mind, yet veer from previously established elements to provide an image that is supposedly more palatable to what is perceived to be a mostly, if not entirely, white American audience. This is the case with the upcoming adaptation of Ghost in the Shell. In another example, Katniss Everdeen, the main character in Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games, is described within the novel as having “straight black hair, olive skin, and grey eyes.” Though this isn’t typically how you would describe a white character, Katniss, in the movie version of her tribulations, is portrayed by the pale, brown-haired, blue-eyed Jennifer Lawrence. Those responsible for the casting of Ghost in the Shell have moved from white actor to white actor, casually regarding the race and origin of Motoko Kusanagi as arbitrary. Race is not a subject that should be treated so flippantly. By rejecting the character’s ethnicity and cultural background, the makers of the movie undermine a civilization that is not American. This perpetuates the idea that being white is the default (and thereby preferable to
Ryanair

Air travel doesn’t require soaring prices I
t’s no secret that large airline companies dominate travel in the United States. Delta, US Airways, United and Southwest come to mind. In 2013 American Airlines merged with US Airways to decrease the number of airlines on the Eastern Seaboard even more. With the small number of choices and our dependence on only airplanes and cars, airlines Tyler can practically Gobin monopolize Staff Columnist t he industr y and charge unnecessarily high prices. There are only a small number of airlines available to the average traveler in the U.S. If you start planning a trip, you will notice there are a large number of available times to fly, but only one airline offering those times. Unfortunately this lowers competition and increases prices. The market usually causes prices to find their balance because some companies will compete on cost and drive prices down, which then forces other companies to do the same in order to remain in the market. It’s basic economics, but for the average flight from Charlotte to Chicago, New York or Washington, D.C., there is hardly any competition. Flying doesn’t have to be expensive either. The real cost of
a flight is much lower than the U.S. airline companies want you to believe. To test this easily and without diving into companies’ descriptive details, you can just look at a profitable airline operating at incredibly low costs. Ryanair is the best thing since sliced bread. The company slashes prices and destroys any conventional price expectations. At this very moment, it’s possible to book a flight from London to Bordeaux, France, for $28.94, from London to Barcelona for $32.15 and from London to Rome for $32.15. These are all one-way ticket prices which would make the price of a round trip ticket hover around $57-$76. That’s less than a tank of gas in the U.S. This sounds too good to be true, but believe it. Ryanair carries more international passengers than any other airlines, it operates to 180 destinations throughout Europe and North Africa, and it operates more than 1,600 flights a day. In the past 12 months, 93 percent of flights have departed on time, with fewer canceled flights than any other airline. By comparison, a f light of similar distance between two large cities in the U.S. will hardly ever get below $250. More than 900 miles separate London from
Barcelona, while only 725 miles separate Chicago from Charlotte. Yet, a flight from Charlotte to Chicago will cost upward of $300. There are numerous variables that you can claim will affect the ticket price, but a difference that big is no fluke. On Ryanair, passengers still get two carry-on bags, still have the same size seat and still get to their destination unharmed. But obviously there has to be differences in order to be able to offer such low prices. Ryanair flies into smaller airports that surround large cities. In the previous example, you wouldn’t be leaving from London Heathrow, but from London Stansted. Ryanair doesn’t offer first class, and it only has one type of plane in its fleet, which reduces turnaround time because every plane is the same. Lastly, Ryanair doesn’t have an airport staff. Passengers are required to print out their own boarding pass or have it on the Ryanair mobile app. They can still check bags at the airport, but Ryanair uses the airports’ staff. All this has made me wonder why American airlines charge so much money. If any airline has the ability to offer these kinds of prices and remain profitable, then it has to be possible.
being Japanese), refuses representation to Japanese people and denies an actor of color a role that they offer instead to a popular white actor. Although there are not many roles for actors of color to begin with, the roles that they could feasibly occupy are often remade into white characters. And why is this? Despite what Rush Limbaugh may have to say, white Americans are not the ones who suffer most in the current state of things. White characters make up the majority of characters in television shows and movies, and are more often than not the main characters of said productions. The media of the United States serves to bolster the privilege of those who already have it. Some people make claims such as, “They were the best person for the part,” and “Maybe they couldn’t find an actor of the appropriate race to play the role.” Even more egregious is the statement, “It doesn’t really matter what the race of the actor is if they portray the character well.” Yes, it does matter, because people in position of privilege first instituted the system of race and continue to exploit it. It is wrong to say, “I don’t see color,” because such assertions ignorantly refute the fact that people of color have been largely oppressed through societal systems like what exists in the U.S. today. To say, “I don’t see color,” is to say, “I choose to overlook that other people have faced troubles that I will never have to confront, because doing so would make me vastly uncomfortable.” It’s petty to shy away from issues of race that may make people anxious. People often do not want to think they have been dealt a hand in life that they do not naturally deserve. Although people shouldn’t be automatically dismissed with an admonition of, “Check your privilege,” everyone should aim to be conscious of the fact that they maintain rights that others may not. By no means should white actors be deprived of roles, but their success should not come at the disadvantage of actors of color. It’s absurd that being white is considered more desirable than anything else—perhaps even more absurd than the notion of a white actor playing a woman named Motoko Kusanagi.
The myth of equal pay: factors of pay disparity A
s the midterm election approaches, it is worth taking a look at one of the many divisive debates between Republican and Democrats: equal pay for equal work. In North Carolina, the two major candidates, Republican Thom Tillis and Democrat Kay Hagan, take explicitly opposite positions on this issue. Ti l lis is reluctant to a c c e pt t he Ziyi Mai Staff Columnist idea of “equal pay for equal work ” between men and women, arguing it would destroy many families. Kay Hagan, along with many of her fellow Democrats, assiduously pursues the course of equal
pay for women. The discord between two parties about this issue does not stop at the state level. In April, President Barack Obama sought to motivate lawmakers in Congress to take action when he repeatedly mentioned that women earn 77 cents for every dollar men earn. “Equal pay for equal work,” Obama said, urging Congress to prioritize the issue. “It’s not that complicated.” Many supporters of the “equal pay for equal work” largely attribute the cause of unequal pay to discrimination based on gender. Their aim is to eliminate discrimination against women as much as possible. But the fact of the matter is that the unequal pay issue is a phenomenon of pay gap that always exists, not only due to dis-

crimination, but many other complicated factors. First, the statistics of 77 percent is too ambiguous and misleading to the general public. That number supporters usually cite is from U.S. Census Bureau’s 2013 statistics when median earnings of men working full time was $50,033, while women’s was $39,157. But that number neglects other perspectives such as occupational differences and hours worked. For example, data from Bureau of Labor statistics show that women generally work fewer hours per week than men. Accounting men and women who work 40 hours a week narrows down the gap to about 88 percent. Occupational choices and industries also drive the pay disparity. Claudia Goldin of Department of Economics at
Harvard University pulled data from the U.S. Census Bureau and found that pay gaps span occupations and industries. Some of these industries particularly reward longer working hours. For example, female pharmacists, who do not work overtime as much as their male counterparts earn on average 92 percent of what men earn. The pay gap narrowed to 90 percent or more in four industries: pharmaceutical, medical, computer programming and technology. Many studies in economics and sociology repeatedly demonstrate that women tend to earn less than men largely because many women work fewer hours than men and take time off to raise children at home. It can be seen as a result of labor market more than the consequence

of discrimination based on gender. What wage reflects is the interaction between labor supply and demand. In some industries, women earn more than men. For instance, the top 10 male models in the U.S. earned only one tenth of the top ten female models. Female models earn more than man in the industry as a result of market demand. Just because one group earns more than the other does not mean the gap is due to discrimination. Jews on average earn more than other Americans. Residents of Northern states earn more than residents of Southern states even in the same occupation and same industry. No matter how labor economists play around the data—adjusting variables for education, age, gender and occupation—the pay gap never

goes away. If the pay gap is really a result of market forces, then equalizing pay will have the consequences of distorting the market outcome. Raising pay for women mandatorily makes hiring a woman relatively more expensive than a man, causing higher unemployment for women. An equalized pay also give women incentives to deviate from taking care children and families, distorting original choices of women. With all of these factors closely examined the idea of “equal pay for equal work” sounds just and fair in theory but might not help women as much as people think.

Untold tales of detention camp brought to big screen Camp X-Ray Peter Sattler GNK Productions
Lauren Vanderveen Staff Writer
Camp X-Ray creates a refreshing, delicate story about the War on Terror. Written and directed by Peter Sattler, the film explores a friendship between one guard and detainee during the operating years of Guantanamo Bay. The film’s fragility isn’t apparent through action as it is by an inexorable sense of hopelessness and pointlessness for all involved. Think of all the movies that have been made about 9/11 in the past decade. World Trade Center (Oliver Stone 2006) and United 93 (Paul Greengrass 2006) both illustrate the struggles and heroism of ordinary people on the ground and on the hijacked planes. Disney Channel released Tiger Cruise in 2004, a film about a military family aboard a naval ship when they find out about the attacks. Remember Me (Allen Coulter 2010) used 9/11 as a backdrop for a coming-of-age story starring Robert Pattinson. The most well-known film of late is the Oscar-nominated “greatest manhunt in history” for Osama bin Laden in Zero Dark Thirty (Kathryn Bigelow 2012). Although these films all possess different perspectives regarding the events, they share a similar agenda of ennobling the American people
devastated by the al-Qaeda terrorist attacks. This has been the major method adopted by all forms of media—movies, books and news— over the years. Camp X-Ray, however, demonstrates a step in a different direction. One of the first things that come to mind when we think of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp is the torture tactics used to collect information from alleged terrorists. But instead of water boarding, Camp X-Ray shows the realities of caged confinements, sleep deprivation and force-fed hunger strikers. The film doesn’t depict detainees as extreme enemies apart from aggressively shouting in un-translated Arabic and one scene where feces is thrown at newbie guard Amy Cole (Kristen Stewart). Allowing the narrative to exist outside of repeated extremes created a breathing space for a crossroads of two people from different worlds— an American female soldier and a Muslim detainee—to meet. Stewart and Peyman Moaadi, who plays the detainee Ali Amir, are a formidable pair. They both live up to the acting challenge their respective characters face: bridging the gaps of culture, circumstance and prejudices through only their exchanges via a small glass window. These exchanges are laden with an entirely sympathetic agenda most viewers won’t see in other post-9/11 films. We never officially know what actions brought Ali to Guantanamo Bay, but he displays unswerving conviction in his innocence. We do
know that he goes on long tirades about not getting to read the last Harry Potter book and finding out if Snape is a good guy or not. He also brushes up his hair in anticipation to talking to Amy, or “Blondie,” as he calls her, and drawing meticulous patterns around his self-made Sudoku puzzles. Yet Ali is convinced about the fact that Amy—and the audience— can’t fully comprehend the hell he endures. When Amy later tells him that the new guards will learn that all detainees aren’t necessarily evil, Ali says to her, “What did you learn? What do you think you know? You know nothing about me. You and me, we are at war.” In another scene, he says, “Look at me. You are asking me, why do I want to die? But you don’t even see that I’m not even living.” Likewise, the film shows sensitivity to the plight of women in the military. Amy, again and again, must prove herself as “one of the guys.” When she avoids watching Ali strip naked to take a shower, Ransdell (Lane Garrison) asks, “Are you a soldier, or are you a female soldier?” Ali and Amy’s friendship blossoms with sincerity, but the film is careful to show that nothing else will change. The final image of new guards making the continuous rounds of the small cell block reinforces the fact that the war is over but we are still on alert. “Kettering” by The Antlers, the only song in the enitre film, plays throughout the ending scenes. The soft keyboard notes weave through

Peter Silberman warbling, “I wish that I had known in that first minute we met, the unpayable debt that I owed you … and I didn’t believe them when they told me that there

Clever Measures brings song to life with music video Sam Roberson Correspondent
How do you gather over 40 random people to appear in your music video? If you are local band such as Clever Measures, you simply return to NC State to get some volunteers from the student body. Clever Measures is a rock group based in Raleigh and made up of several alumni from NC State. Justin McEntyre and Zach Karges, both 2014 graduates, and lead singer Scott Floyd, who graduated with a degree in science education in 2010, came together to form a band last September. They have since been joined by Ryan Burns on bass. The band had wanted to film a video for their song, “Here’s to you,” featuring people holding signs with lyrics. To get so many to appear in the video, they would need a large population of friendly people. NC State quickly came to mind for the band members to recruit eager participants.

Queen Victoria made popular are cameos, jewelry featuring a carved face, and mourning jewelry which is a locket containing a picture of a deceased loved one and the other side holding a lock of his or her hair. Joint Venture Jewelry also features art deco and carved rock crystal pieces of the 1920s to 1930s for the show. “Crystal used to be considered fine jewelry,” Hankin said. “They didn’t have the technology to have a lot of real stuff like diamonds.” Carved rock crystal pieces were considered fine jewelry and were popular during the 1920s and early 1930s.
“For most of us in the band, NC State is our home,” Floyd said. The video also featured signs held by students containing someone they appreciate to tie in the meaning of the song. “The song is a thank you to all the people that have lent a hand in our lives,” Floyd said. Kevin Quick, a senior in psychology and sociology, appeared in the music video and enjoyed the bands spontaneity and the experience of participating in the film. “They were around campus and were just asking people if they wanted to be in a music video,” Quick said. Clever Measures started out playing open mic nights and performing cover songs for house parties in Raleigh. The band soon realized it was very difficult to land a gig with no recorded material or original songs. “We started writing last November and were playing our songs live by winter. We were mostly recording all summer,” Floyd said.
Joint Venture’s Vintage Jewelry Show allows patrons to pair original vintage ring mountings with any stone of their choosing. The store offers a wide variety of these one-of-a-kind pieces. Customers can then choose the stone and setting they want and Joint Venture will put it together. The show displays other items such as neck pins and charms that are indicative of changes in fashion. The pins were typically worn in the center of the high-neck collar women had to wear in the late 1800s to early 1900s. Now, they are more commonly worn as brooches on the upper part of a shirt or blazer, according to Hankin. Another change she noted

Clever Measures is a rock band based in Raleigh and is made up of several alumni from NC State. They play shows in Raleigh.
Since recording, the band has released an EP, Allow me to Introduce…, which features Here’s to you along with three other original songs. The EP can be heard, along with the music video, on its official website CleverMeasures.com. Since writing its own material Clever Measures has
played many local venues such as Ruckus, Brickhouse, and Deep South. Floyd says his favorite show was NC State’s engineering Welcome Back Bash. The band performed on the Oval at Centennial Campus to welcome students at beginning of the past semester. According to Floyd, they were the first band to play live music at the
Oval. “It felt like a homecoming to return. Plus the sound equipment was great,” Floyd said. While at NC State, Floyd meet many other musicians that inf luenced him and helped him to learn more about guitar and music in general. “There was always someone
around playing guitar. You could always get a tip from another musician, no matter how small,” Floyd said. Having performed several gigs around Raleigh, Clever Measures seeks to expand its audience to other parts of North Carolina and possibly across the country. Their next show is at The Cave in Chapel Hill on Nov. 22.
was the transition from interactive, moving charms to ones that “just hang there.” Many of Joint Venture’s vintage charms feature parts that open and move around. “You can see they took time in the craftsmanship of these [charms],” Hankin said. Craftsmanship is one of the major points Hankin makes customers aware of when they are looking at these vintage pieces. Many of the older pieces of jewelry featured were made entirely by hand. “Having these specialty pieces in the store allows us to educate our clients and tell them more about the history of jewelry,” Hankin said.

Alumnus solicits treasure to create Trash PHOTO COURTESY OF CHUN- LEI LEE
Darius Dawson, an NC State alumnus, films actors for one of his projects. Dawson has started to raise money for his next project, Trash, via indiegogo.com. The film is about a teenage runaway when her abusive stepfather discovers where she is hiding. The character also struggles with the decision to keep her baby , the product of an ill-begotten relationship.
Kevin Schaefer Associate Features Editor
For NC State alumnus Darius Dawson, filmmaking is all about telling stories that come from the soul. A Fayetteville native and 2012 graduate, Dawson will return to Raleigh in February to direct his new short film Trash, his first major production since leaving the university. Having always been interested in the arts, Dawson said he began looking into film as a career while attending NC State. At the time, however, he was a civil engineering major. “I went to a math and science high school where they convinced everyone you had to go into math or science,” Dawson said. “Then I took a film theory class at State and started researching it. I’ve been interested in it since my freshman year at NC State.” Dawson said he quickly made the switch to film studies and made shorts all throughout his years as an undergraduate student. Out of the 10 or so films he made during that time, he directed four of them. “I’m a cinematographer and don’t direct that often,” Dawson said. “When you start out, you don’t really know what to do, so you’re shooting and directing.” Dawson said he got the idea for Trash about five years ago. The film tells the story of a teenage runaway when her abusive stepfather discovers where she’s hiding. At the same time, she is struggling with the decision of whether or not to keep her baby, the product of an ill-begotten relationship. “Trash is the story of what we throw away and what we decide to keep,” Dawson said on the film’s Indiegogo profile. “At its core, the story is about forgiveness and growing up too fast.” Dawson said personal experiences and the things he saw growing up influenced him heavily as he wrote Trash. “The film is not so much focus-
ing on sensational things, but on the minor things,” Dawson said. According to Dawson, his upbringing in Fayetteville played a huge role as well. “There’s rural life and not having a lot of money,” Dawson said. “I just look at how much I was influenced by Fayetteville and by life in the country in general.” Upon graduating from NC State, Dawson attended New York University’s graduate film program in Singapore and later did cinematography for films in and around Southeast Asia. Dawson is now back in the United States finishing his MFA at DePaul University in Chicago. Dawson’s trips abroad provided him with insight regarding the best places for filmmakers to pursue their careers. “If you’re an aspiring filmmaker, right now China is on the rise,” Dawson said. “Hollywood films are doing better in China. In Europe, there’s a new independent wave.” However, Dawson also said the U.S. has plenty of opportunities as well. “The easiest place to make a film is America,” Dawson said. “If you’re interested, get yourself a camera and just go. If you don’t have a lot of resources, find the stories around you and tell those stories.” Dawson said he plans to remain an indie filmmaker. He and Trash’s producer Whitney Howard formed a film team called Nuance Films. “I want to explore something outside of the studio,” Dawson said. Despite his extensive education, Dawson said filmmakers do not necessarily have to go to an arts school such as NYU because stories come from within. “When you go to an arts school, they don’t give you the stories to tell,” Dawson said. “They provide you with the equipment and people to critique your films once you’re done. It’s about you having a story and being in touch with where that story comes from. I know plenty of people making films who never went to film school.”

Sarah Stein, an associate professor in the communication department and one of Dawson’s former teachers, praised his work and said she is excited to see where he’ll go from here. “He was sort of a much more sophisticated filmmaker,” Stein said. “He had a very unusual capacity to think cinematically, meaning he got the way that film can use voice, color or black and white and the
way to frame images. I have excellent students, but Darius came really already formed by the time he got to me.” Dawson said he hopes to come back to the university in the next couple months and speak to students who are interested in working on Trash before shooting begins in February. He also hopes to raise $7,000 via Indiegogo in the next 50 days to further Trash’s production.
As of press time, Trash had raised $270. “I want to come back to where it all started and help some who are starting out,” Dawson said. For more information about Dawson or Trash, visit the film’s Indiegogo page at www.indiegogo.com/ projects/trash-the-movie.
Vintage Jewelry Show’s pieces tell their own story Jillian Smith Correspondent
Due to overwhelming popularity, Joint Venture Jewelry in Cary extended its annual Vintage Jewelry Show until Sunday—four days past its original end date. Husband and wife duo Lee and Donna Hankin own Joint Venture Jewelry. Their two daughters, Jen and Karly, work for the shop as well. Joint Venture has been hosting this show for
12 years, working closely with a third-generation jewelry dealer based out of New York, according to Jen Hankin, NC State alumna and director of communication for the shop. “He works with different estates and collections and travels around the country with them,” Hankin said. Some of the pieces featured in the show date as far back as the late 1800s and as recent as the 1940s. According to Hankin, these are truly vintage pieces as they are no longer created and can rarely be located.
These pieces are distinct and unique to their time periods, showing the progression of jewelry-making technology and styles throughout history, according to Hankin. Joint Venture Jewelry’s rare selection delights customers and is a major component to its success, so verifying the jewelry’s authenticity is important. “The best way to date jewelry is to look at the stones in there, specifically the diamonds and the way they are cut,” Hankin said. “The cutting technique relates to when they were

made.” Some of the first pieces clients can look at in the store are from the age of Queen Victoria. The era of Victorian jewelry began with Queen Victoria’s coronation in 1837. As a queen, she loved jewelry; she designed it, wore it and frequently gave it as gifts, according to the Joint Venture Jewelry Facebook page, which Hankin updates regularly.

After the game, Towe gave his remarks about playing at his alma mater. “This is Reynolds Coliseum. You’re supposed to win when you play here,” Towe said. All-time NC State points leader Rodney Monroe added 21 points for the White team. Hodge and former NBA head coach Vinny del Negro paced the Red team with 10 and eight points, respectively. Gottfried said he was happy that the game ended without any injuries. Following the Legends game, the Wolfpack women’s team took the court.

Post play was an interesting aspect of the scrimmage, as the Wolfpack currently lacks a true center. Anya was matched up with forward Lennard Freeman, while forwards Kyle Washington and Abdul-Malik Abu squared off. Anya and Washington, the most probable starters for the Pack at the post positions this season, were excellent on defense, combining for six rebounds and three blocks. However, the two were very limited on offense on the block, as their points came mostly from dump passes, offensive boards and a rare three-pointer from Washington. Gottfried said that he would like to see more designed plays for the big men. “We need to work on our guards getting it in there better,” Gottfried said. Junior guard Lacey was not very impressive in his debut for the Pack, missing his three shot attempts and recording just two assists in 19 minutes.

Louisville slugs the Wolfpack Men’s and women’s cross country shine at Indiana State Pre-Nationals

Volleyball losing skid extends to six
The NC State football team dropped yet another conference game Saturday as the Pack lost to the Louisville Cardinals, 30-18, on the road. The Pack (4-4, 0-4 ACC) has gone winless in the ACC during the past two years, and has lost four in a row this season. “When you go through the adversity we’ve had as a program, you have a chance to shrink or to grow from those kind of moments,” Head Coach Dave Doeren said. “We’re going to grow.” With the win, the Cardinals (62, 4-2 ACC) avenged their previous loss to NC State, which came in the Belk Bowl in the 2011-2012 season. With the win, the Cardinals proved themselves as a formidable contender in the ACC, moving into 3rd place in the Atlantic division. Louisville came out and took advantage of an NC State defense that was missing multiple starters, as the Cardinals were able to score in their first drive off a 13-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Will Gardner to senior wide receiver Eli Rogers. The NC State offense started
The NC State men’s and women’s cross country teams both placed highly this weekend in the Indiana State Pre-National Invitational. The men’s team placed 13th out of the 46 teams that raced. The women’s team was able to take fifth place in the meet. Senior Joanna Thompson led the Pack, coming in 12th in the event. She was followed by sophomore Erika Kemp who placed 14th. Sophomore Sam Parsons led the men’s team, who was 32nd in the race. On Oct. 31, the Wolfpack men and women will compete in the ACC Championships, which will be held in Earlysville, Virginia SOURCE: GOPACK.COM

slowly, scoring only once in the first half in the form of a passing touchdown from junior quarterback Jacoby Brissett to sophomore tight end David Grinnage. However, NC State senior place kicker Niklas Sade wasn’t able to convert the extra point, resulting in a 7-6 score at the end of the first quarter. Louisville dominated in the second quarter, as Gardner threw a
short touchdown pass to senior wideout Kai De La Cruz, and junior place kicker John Wallace tacked on a 40-yard field goal to bump the Cardinal’s lead to 17-6. The second half wasn’t any different for the Pack on offense, as the team only scored one more touchdown on another Brissett to Grinnage connection in the fourth quarter. The running game man-

The NC State swimming and diving teams started the 2014-15 season in record-setting fashion on Saturday. The men’s team defeated the highly ranked Bulldogs with an exhilarating 155-143 victory, while the Lady Pack fell short, 183.5-114.5. The Wolfpack’s Willis R. Casey Aquatic Center hosted several pool records on both the men’s and women’s sides. The men’s 200-yard medley relay was the first event to witness a record setting performance. Sophomores Andreas Schiellerup, Derek Hren, and Soren Dahl anchored by senior David Williams set the pool record with a time of 1:28.05. Freshman Anton Ipsen was the next NC State swimmer to get in on the record breaking action. Ipsen dominated in the men’s 1000 freestyle with a blistering time of 9:01.83. The young freshman’s performance also gave him the distinction of swimming the nation’s fastest time in the 1000
freestyle event this season. Junior Christian McCurdy placed first in his 200-yard butterf ly with a time of 1:44.77, which was also good enough to set a Casey Aquatic Center record. “I was a little nervous coming into this meet because it’s been a while since we got up and raced people with the caliber of the Georgia team,” McCurdy said. “Once we got started and I got up behind the block, I was just ready to race.” Nearing the conclusion of the meet, the men’s and women’s finishes in the 400 freestyle relay also set pool records. The men’s relay posted a time of 2:56.12 and the women’s relay comprised of sophomore Lotto Nevalainen, junior Riki Bonnema, freshman Krista Duffield and senior Hannah Freyman placed first and finished with a time of 3:22.60. Junior Simonas Bilis swept his three freestyle sprints with first place honors in the 50 (19.96), the 100 (43.74), and the 200 (1.37.02). “For Simonas to win three
events pretty close together like that, there’s not a lot of people in the country who can do that,” head coach Braden Holloway said. “I just believe he’s that good.” In the 200 backstroke, freshman Hennessey Stuart won the event for NC State with a 1:46.26 finish, while sophomore Andreas Schiellerup snagged second place in the 100 back. The NC State women’s team felt the loss of several key swimmers as nine of Lady Pack swimmers traveled to Dallas over the weekend to compete in the Dallas Classic hosted by Southern Methodist University. However, despite the shortage of athletes, the women held their own against a Georgia women’s side that will be defending back-to-back national championships in 2013 and 2014. “I am very proud of our women,” Holloway said. “To be nine girls down and to come out and not be intimidated is great. They came to

Wolfpack men, legends shine in Throwback with the Pack Zack Tanner Senior Staff Writer
On Friday night, the NC State men’s basketball team hosted its annual intrasquad scrimmage at the historic Reynolds Coliseum. The event, typically held in PNC Arena, was moved to Reynolds this year because the 2014-15 season will be the last one before Reynolds will be closed for renovations. “I thought the idea to have a throwback type game and bring the legends back was perfect for what’s going to happen,” head coach Mark Gottfired said. “Overall, it ended up being a great night.” The night kicked off with the Legends game, which featured former Wolfpack greats, such as Julius Hodge and current assistant coach Derek Whittenburg. The 11 participants were split into teams and squared off in a 15-minute match. The White team, led by 1974 NCAA Champion Monty Towe, emerged victorious in the match, 4439. Despite his size (5’7”) and his age (61 years),
