Professors propose futuristic rail system Harrison Allen Correspondent
Ever wonder what riding down Hillsborough Street in a light rail car similar to what George Jetson rode to work in would be like? Well, in the future this may be a reality. Marshall Brain and Seth Hollar of the NC State engineering department have developed construction plans for an elevated rail system called EcoPRT, some of which would go through NC State’s campus. Interestingly enough, the idea of a rail system going through NC State is not a novel one. “NC State has a corridor from the Hunt Library to the Hill Library that’s been on the master plan for 20 years and is labeled as a ‘monorail system,’” Brain said. However, EcoPRT is not going to be a standard monorail system. Rather, EcoPRT is a high-efficiency “entrepreneurial transit system” that Brain said will be relatively simple to install with little ground-level construction that would impact NC State’s campus. Brain described construction as
“Putting holes in the ground every 50 or 100 feet to put the equivalent of a phone pole in, and then the track just gets hung on those poles with a crane.” Brain and Hollar have also spoken with shopping developments such as Cameron Village and the city of Cary about extending EcoPRT. “If we put a system into NC State, maybe Cameron Village wants access to 30,000 students, so they can build a spur [of EcoPRT],” Hollar said. As far as construction costs are concerned, EcoPRT will be relatively inexpensive, according to Brain. “We are trying to create track that costs $1 million per mile and bring vehicle cost down to around $10,000,” Brain said. According to Brain, this is an extremely low cost considering that track for typical subway or light rail systems cost anywhere from $70 million to more than $100 million. Funding for EcoPRT will depend on who is building the track and where it goes. NC State would probably use its traditional payment scheme, such as student fees, to

cover the cost, according to Hollar. However, other branches of EcoPRT may be funded differently. If Cameron Village were to build a spur of EcoPRT, it would get paid
through fares, profits or revenue generated instead, Hollar said. If other developments charged a fare for riding the EcoPRT, it would still be relatively inexpensive.
“We would like to charge a fare on the order of 50 cents per mile,” Brain said.

Farm Aid draws support for small-scale farms Gavin Stone Correspondent
Farm Aid 2014 sounded the horn for farmers, hippies and self-aware citizens to come together in support of family farming. at Walnut Creek Amphitheater Saturday. Willie Nelson led the 29th annual Farm Aid. He started it in 1985 to raise money and awareness for struggling family farmers being squashed out of food markets by large, industrial farming companies. The event allowed the visitors who have never experienced the business side of farming first-hand to learn about the industry and its core values, while they listened to 12 hours of speakers and musicians advocate for a fair market for food growers. The event kicked off with a press conference with the Board of Direc-
tors, consisting of Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil Young, Dave Matthews, and representatives from Vollmer Farms and Operation Spring Plant, an organization that promotes the distribution of organic food to black communities and raises awareness about the plight of black farmers. During the conference, Dave Matthews criticized the corporate model of farming. “[The corporate model] doesn’t care about our country, it doesn’t care about our people, it doesn’t care about our children,” Matthews said. “It has no children. It only cares about money…money right now.” Matthews said the goal should be “cutting out the giant middle man that is crushing everybody” in order to make room for what he called the “future of farming,” which is the Farmer’s Market model. In order to compete with big busi-
nesses without being forced to join them, farmers have to get as close as they can with their consumers with the help of community Farmer’s Markets and other means or risk financial ruin and starvation. NC State’s Poultry Science Department is funded by Prestage Farms, a major growing company that reaches from the Midwest down through the Southeast that, by its own admission on its website, “…delivers genetically superior animals to our grower families along with feed that has been formulated for the animals’ specific needs.” Roland McReynolds, executive director of Carolina Farm Stewardship Association, a nonprofit with a governing board elected by small-scale farmers, said the primary means companies use to cor-
A new study conducted by NC State sociology professors found that although family bonding over a home-cooked meal is idealized in cultures around the world, madefrom-scratch cooking is not practical for many families. Associate Professors of Sociology Sinikka Elliott and Sarah Bowen have been working on this research, which was partially funded by the USDA, for the past five years. “We’ve been hearing a lot about this ideal of a home-cooked meal,” Elliott said. “It’s often presented as ideal, so if you care about your
family’s health, you should be doing this. We found that trying to achieve this ideal took a lot of time—which families don’t have a lot of these days—and took resources which families are feeling pretty crimped on right now.” Elliott said the researchers interviewed middle-, working- and lower-class families about the struggle to provide both meals and family time for their children. “So, we have working-class, poor, and middle-class families in the study, and all of them talked about lack of money to purchase the produce they prefer, or to cook the way they prefer, and so for working-class

about not being able to buy perishable items—fruit, produce—because they couldn’t get to the grocery store regularly.” The research found that middle-class families were not inclined to think perishable foods were financially out of reach, but they often wanted to substitute non-organic for the pricier organic produce and substitute traditional produce for goods that were locally sourced and seasonal, which put increased pressure on their food budgets. Ansilta De Luca, an NC State alumna who worked on the project, said the researchers found families who were struggling to meet their nutritionally recommended averages of fresh produce every day. “The area was food-insecure and lacked access to any kinds of fresh foods,” De Luca said. “Most food stores were convenience and corner stores. Food Lions and Harris Teeters were farther away and more difficult for families to

way to get from point A to point B. “We all grew up thinking that we’re going to be driving a car for the rest of our life, but in reality there are a number of different options out there,” Hollar said. Brain and Hollar said they are are looking for more students to get involved with EcoPRT.

get to on a daily and even weekly basis.” Elliott said pressure for parents, especially mothers, to spend more time with their children while providing healthy, home-cooked meals, is pouring in from many media sources due to rising concerns surrounding childhood obesity. “[Studies] show that starting around the 1990s, as more women began working, you also saw this increased pressure on mothers to do mothering perfectly, to spend a lot of time with your kids,” Elliott said. While data shows Americans today spend less time cooking, American parents as a whole are spending more time personally engaged with their children than they were 40 years ago, according to Elliott. “A lot of that has been trickled down to ‘we need to cook from scratch more,’ or ‘we need to reinvigorate the family meal,’ or ‘families need to carve out time’ because it is an important part of family life and of child health,” Elliott said. “So what we argue is, while that sounds lovely and we are not disagreeing
with that, it doesn’t make sense for the realities of most family’s lives.” Elliott said the community should get involved to help solve many problems families are facing. She suggests supporting food trucks, such as the global markets that deliver to rural communities. Getting school lunch programs involved by making healthy meals kids could take home to their families and setting up community kitchens where meals could be prepped for the surrounding community to take home are some additional ways families could provide quality meals without stressing about time, Elliott said. “Everybody has the right to food, and somewhere along the way residents of Southeast Raleigh lost the right to healthy fresh food and have been forgotten about,” De Luca said. “They need help to revitalize their neighborhoods and have equal access to fresh and healthy food every day. The awareness and education was key in this research.”

In hopes of saving homeless canines and encouraging adoption, the Companion Animal Wellness Club of NC State hosted the 23rd Annual Dog Olympics at NC State’s Centennial Biomedical Campus on Saturday. This year’s Dog Olympics hosted 20 different rescue shelters and more than 30 vendors, a significant increase from the five to six rescue shelters at the event when it started in the 1990s. Vendors and information booths shared facts, statistics and served to instigate the adoptions of animals. Owners partook in various events and friendly competitions throughout the day. Some of these events included best trick, small/big dog limbo, high jump, howling contest, musical sit, roll-over rover, look-a-like contest, longest tail and agility relays. Camille Brooks, pet owner and member of the Rottweiler Hearts Rescue, said this year’s Dog Olympics was a great experience. “The event was wonderful, not only for the activities presented, but for the opportunity to socialize the dogs, both personal and rescues,” Brooks said.

ner the markets are strategic land grants and patented seed and livestock genes, but this is done at the sacrifice of food quality and the health of the farmland. McReynolds said monoculture farms are what lead to “super weeds,” which allow pests to thrive. He said policy has been slanted in the past towards big business, yet he is optimistic about the innovators in farming working against the riptide of money interests.
Amy Lamb, president of the Companion Animal Wellness Club, said the hard work put in to set up helped make the event a success. Volunteers and professors worked booths and judged the different competitive events. “The professors involved have all been really great in helping us out on this Saturday morning,” Lamb said. “We couldn’t have done this without them and our many volunteers.” The Paralympics Parade, a cart parade for dogs with spinal cord injuries, was a major component of festivities. Starting about midday, the parade worked to raise awareness for canine disabilities and provide other ways for disabled dogs to increase social skills and interact with other dogs. Spinal cord injuries cause dogs to have little-to-no function of their back legs. Therefore, some dogs rely on wheelchairs to maneuver around. The parade was a way for disabled dogs to participate in the Dog Olympics, although they could not partake in the contests or relays. Representatives from Cary K-9 Unit, Treibbal with Superior Dog Training, Flyball with Dog Gone Fast, American Kennel Club and the Canine Good Citizenship
Testing gave presentations about their respective organizations. The Raleigh Kennel Club provided a free microchip clinic at the event. At the clinic, employees safely inserted microchips so dogs could be tracked if they were ever lost. The clinic was limited to one microchip per family. The Companion Animal Wellness Club of NC State hosted the event. Club President Anna McKain said the event served its purpose in socializing dogs and promoting pet rescue, and hopefully the club will see everyone back next year. McKain said the club is doing a lot of community outreach and working to help bring about pet adoptions. “We aren’t doctors yet, but its good training for us,” McKain said. “We also have volunteered with the Coalition of Unchained Dogs, where we build fences for dogs who have spent their entire lives on a chain. As far as public outreach, this is our big event.” All the proceeds were donated evenly between the groups present at the event. Along with the admission fees, all other event revenue was donated to area rescue organizations.
Non-industrialized farming is a trade that brings the community together, much like music does, according to Micah Nelson, Willie Nelson’s son. “Farmers feed the stomach, and musicians feed the soul,” Micah Nelson said. Many big-name musicians headlined the concert portion of the evening, including Dave Matthews, Willie Nelson, Gary Clark Jr, Jack White, Neil Young and John Mellencamp. Neil Young was the most openly critical act of the night. He stopped in the middle of his set and put down his guitar to lambast
Sen. Richard Burr for his role in supporting industrial agriculture. Young closed with a calland-response with the crowd: “Stand up ... and save the Earth! … Stand up … and save the Earth!” Jim Hightower, a two-term Texas Agriculture Commissioner and populist agitator who moderated many of the speech events throughout the day, called for reflection and action from the crowd. “Who has the power? ” Hightower said. “That’s what we’re talking about here. Power.”

Bricks pave a problematic path T
en. No, I am not talking about about how many dollars you now must have to buy a combo meal at Talley Student Union. Ten is the number of times I have tripped on u neven or missing bricks since t he beg i nning of the semester. Katherine N o w, t o Kehoe be fair, I do News Editor have a habit of texting while walking, and my coordination skills have never been higher than slightly below average. However, from what I have seen from walking around campus and what I have heard from friends, I am not the only one who has trouble with our school’s signature choice of pavement. The universit y a lways seems to be looking for ways to keep NC State’s campus safe for all students. I say it is time to look down. I have two friends (both students) who had to take time out of their already stressful lives to visit the Student Health Center due to brick-related injuries. The first of these friends, a skateboarder, was cruising along to class when the front wheel of his board got caught in a hole from a missing brick, sending him flying. He crashed facefirst onto the pavement. Safe to say, my friend missed class that day. The second tried to walk across campus on a rainy day when she tripped and
tumbled down stairs because the soles of her shoes didn’t provide enough traction to keep her stable atop slippery bricks. They both turned out OK, but both sustained minor injuries that would never have happened had the university chosen a less treacherous pavement option or if the current paths were properly maintained. All right, fine. The university can’t just up and repave the entire campus overnight. It is costly, would take a long time and would temporarily cause
“It is time NC State rethinks how it handles maintaining ... the paths students walk on every day.” some serious construction ugliness—not to mention the whole brick tradition thing. But there are some things that can be done, starting with those traditions. I am talking about one in particular: the brick-stealing tradition. Sure, it is fun to want an authentic NC State brick to keep in a dusty box under your bed as a reminder of what true dedication to your alma mater looks like. But when that keepsake can cause a fellow member of the Wolfpack to require a “trip” to student health, it’s worth reconsidering.
The holes left from missing bricks are dangerous. Bikers and skateboarders can easily hit them while moving quickly through campus. On rainy days, the holes fill with water, making them appear level with the rest of the ground and thus posing even more of a hazard to campus-crossers. From somebody who has stepped in a water-filled brick hole: Please, folks, cut that tradition out and leave the bricks in. Don’t mistake my request that students stop stealing bricks as my accepting the university has no role in maintaining our campus’s walkway safety. If NC State is going to pride itself on having a unique campus aesthetic and continue paving new pathways with more and more bricks, it must be more diligent about replacing missing pieces and repaving surfaces that have grown uneven over time. In the past, I have noticed certain brick holes were not filled up to a week after my first sighting. I don’t know if the problem stems from lack of knowledge about where problem bricks are located or if the university simply doesn’t perform brick maintenance every day of the year. Whatever the case may be, it is time NC State rethinks how it handles maintaining and repairing the paths students walk on every day. We need to address this problem brick by brick.

White House officials recognized that immigration policy is splintering Democrats, and the unilateral move on the issue in light of election season could fundamentally doom the opportunities of more comprehensive reforms next year. Immigration policy and reform has become one of the toughest issues circulating the White House and Congress in the past two decades. The reason is the United States’ immigration policy has been enormously inf luenced by its foreign policy, which lacks consistency and is vulnerable to domestic and foreign shocks. The 1993 World Trade Center truck bombing, 1995 Oklahoma city bombing and September 11 terrorist attacks have not only substantially changed the direction of the country’s foreign policy but also the way the U.S. formulated immigration policy. After the catastrophe on 9/11, the debate on immigration has shifted to a discussion about how to strike a balance between national se-

Late Friday night, a WolfAlert email went out to all students notifying us of a crime—a female student was allegedly kidnapped by several males in a white van while she was on Hillsborough Street, who raped her and left her by the Dan Allen parking deck. Friday morning, we received an email saying that this didn’t really happen, and students shouldn’t worry about it. I’m concerned about this because we all know of the huge problem of silencing rape victims on college campuses. Did this incident
REALLY not occur, or is that just what’s most convenient for the administration and police department? I find it very hard to believe that someone would make up a story like this and report it to the cops. While it’s certainly possible it was a false report, the number of uninvestigated and unreported sexual assaults is much higher than the number of falsely reported ones, so I’m dubious. It may be that the victim is in denial now and doesn’t want the publicity associated with prosecuting her rapists—but if that’s the case, I hope she will change her mind and fight. She may not have any
allies among those in power who are supposed to help her, but she does have allies elsewhere. There are several programs here in Raleigh that provide legal and mental health support to rape victims, which I encourage her to take advantage of. Regardless, I sincerely hope that our school hasn’t simply covered up another young woman’s personal tragedy, or they would be no better than the men who used her and left her on the street.

curity and making sure immigrants were still welcome into the country. In practice, the need of absorbing immigrants is in fact overwhelmed by the bureaucracy created after 9/11 to focus on national security. But prior to 9/11 or even the 1990s, changes on immigration policy had put limited concerns on national security. For example, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 was implemented and later amended in 1965 to outlaw restricting admittance based on race, national origin and ethnicity. The INA serves as a statutory foundation for today’s immigration policy. The immigration policy from the 1960s to 1980s was based on family ties and economic skills. Yet, neither policy based on economic skills nor national security touches the spirit of immigration that should be connected to the country’s ideals. Policies based on these factors are temporary and less likely to provide a solid foundation for the country to move forward. Immigrants who are allowed to come to the U.S. with economic skills perhaps see the country as merely a better living standard with little else the nation could offer. If they came from countries where the institutions differ vastly from the U.S., they may stick to their original mindset and hardly assimilate into mainstream society. In the current immigration system, civic education only begins when applicants want

showed Rice striking Palmer, the NFL indefinitely suspended Rice, an action that should have been taken when the video surfaced of Rice hauling Palmer’s unconscious body out of an elevator. Because Palmer has since defended her now-husband and has decided to stay with him, a common opinion has been that any attack she may suffer after the initial publicized assault (who knows if it was the first) is her own fault. Victim blaming is a strange thing. When people blame victims, they presume that the victims somehow maintained control over their attackers’ actions and failed to stop themselves from being assaulted. It’s made out to be their fault. It’s an odd, meandering path of logic, and more often than not, victim blaming is gendered. An attack is phrased, “A woman was raped,” and not, “A man raped a woman.” We crossexamine the victim, using questions such as, “What was she wearing?” and “Was she walking alone at night?” Abuse is always the act of the abuser. It should never be attributed to the victim. And yet women are perpetually seen as the instigators, as though they made the men act as they did, that men have no control when faced with cleavage.
In the case of Ray Rice, many people seem to think Janay Palmer deserves any future abuse she may receive simply because she chose to stay with him. The blame shifts from the perpetrator of the crime to the recipient. She is charged with perpetuating her husband’s aggression. Palmer is trapped in the cycle of abuse so many people fall prey to, the abuse she suffers viewed primarily as her own fault because she didn’t leave. Society calls her “stupid” for staying with him, rather than recognizing her as a victim likely entangled in emotional manipulation, threats or fear. And still, some people lament the thought that maybe this man will not have much of a career after all of this. “He made one mistake!” I don’t really see where this worry stems from. Chris Brown still has a career after all. We seek out redemption for these abusers because they reveal the ugly underpinnings of our patriarchal culture. We celebrate ideas of hypermasculinity, and when these values are expressed in unpleasant ways, we assign the blame to those whom it does not belong. It’s easier that way, because it allows us to ignore that American society is not as equal as most of us desire it to be.

to become U.S. citizens. But it largely dismisses people who potentially become immigrants in the future. For example, the H1B visa for foreigners as non-immigrant workers is a temporary stage connecting foreign status with permanent residency. Non-immigrant visa holders are not offered any civic education, still being treated by the system as a foreign alien despite potentially living in the country for years. Despite paying taxes, these prospective citizens are excluded from being involved in local and community affairs. Such a restricted system is less likely to keep those highly skilled workers in the U.S. and they might switch to other nations if offered higher salaries. An immigration system without explicit educational goals to help immigrants transition to life in the U.S. cannot be regarded as a complete system. The ultimate goal of immigration policy is—or at least should be—to bring people together who agree with the core values of the U.S. and who are willing to integrate into the mainstream society, contributing efforts and ideas to build a better community. The hope of creating a better system still relies on congressmen considering that immigration encompasses more than economics and national security.

Collection honors art museum director Kevin Schaefer Associate Features Editor
When Allen Thomas Jr. began collecting art in college, the North Carolina native had no idea where his hobby would lead him. Now, the North Carolina Museum of Art houses Thomas’ latest collection—one of the hundreds he has since accumulated. The display honors the 20th anniversary of its director and Thomas’ longtime friend Larry Wheeler. Born and raised in Wilson, North Carolina, Thomas developed an interest in art and photography during his time at Appalachian State and UNC-Wilmington where he studied political science. As an avid collector, Thomas has been donating pieces to various museums and exhibits all across the state for years. The NCMA exhibit, Private Eye, consists of a large amount of donated photographic works from Thomas’ collection. Thomas, though, said the exhibit pales in comparison to what Wheeler has done for the museum and for him personally. “I wanted to knock him over the head with appreciation,” Thomas said. “We both share a passion for contemporary art, and our friendship was formed after he visited to see my photography collection in Wilson.” Thomas met Wheeler in 2004 after reading a story about him in the paper with
a photo by Anthony Goicolea, one of Thomas’ favorite artists, in the background. He then called Wheeler to ask him about the photo and they met shortly after. Wheeler came to Thomas’ house in 2005 to see his collection, according to Thomas. When Wheeler came back with six or seven curators, they scared Thomas “to death” when they wanted to borrow some of his photos for an upcoming show at the time. “It was the first time I ever thought someone else would like what I had,” Thomas said. “It opened my world in a very positive way.” This was not the only time meeting important people in the industry intimidated him, Thomas said. “He later invited me to meet Goicolea, and I lied and said I had to work because I was too nervous,” Thomas said. As the friendship between these two men grew, Wheeler introduced Thomas to other photographers whose works interested him. The more Wheeler helped him, the more Thomas wanted to show his appreciation. “I decided to do something daring that would let him know how much he had influenced me,” Thomas said. “It was a process, and it took me months to decide.” A lthough Thomas describes himself as “far from a curator” and “100 percent a collector,” his collaboration with curators over the years

has made exhibits, such as Private Eye, possible. “This transformative gift of 65 photographs significantly expands the breadth and scope of the museum’s photography col lection, augmenting works by photographers currently in the collection as well as adding works by photographers previously not represented,” said Linda Dougherty, curator of the exhibition. Yet while curators now seek out Thomas’ work, Thomas said this was not always the case. “When I started collect-
ing art, photography was not looked at as a museum-quality medium,” Thomas said. “I had to go to New York to buy photographs.” That changed when he wandered into a New Orleans gallery solely for photography, Thomas said. “I had never seen one before,” Thomas said. “I stayed three hours, and the owner explained to me why photography was a legitimate art form.” Since 2005, Thomas held shows at the Turchin Center for Visual Arts at ASU, Barton Galleries, Taubman
Museum of Art, CAM Raleigh and the Greenville Museum of Art, as well as loaning works in at least 50 other exhibitions worldwide. Thomas said he continues to find exciting artists making work today and still enjoys the rush of discovering art. Dougherty, an admirer of Thomas’ collection, echoed the effects of his lifelong passion. “With an uncanny knack for discovering emerging photographers before the rest of the art world does, Thomas has amassed one of the most important collections of con-
temporary photography in the Southeast, if not nationally,” Dougherty said. Although Thomas says he isn’t an artist, he didn’t let that stop him from contributing significantly to the culture he loves. “I knew I liked art, but knew I had no talent,” Thomas said. “I took art classes I could manage and started realizing its commerce. People make things to sell; it’s like purchasing their passion. I was able to take it home, and that thrills me to no end.”
Raleigh arts festival ‘sparks’ creativity downtown Taylor Quinn Associate Features Editor
Colorful masterpieces created by sidewalk chalk lined the streets of Downtown Raleigh, replacing the usual cars filled with flustered businessmen and women. The black asphalt was a canvas for everything from an accurate rendition of Picasso’s Starry Night to a little girl’s stick-
figure rendition of herself. Young children stood on a stage holding woodwind and brass instruments up to their mouths, ready to perform for their audience who proudly waved at the musicians from their seats. A woman who stood 8 feet tall thanks to the wooden stilts under her feet posed for a picture with a few kids. Behind them, a plethora of
diverse people laughed while trying to keep the hula hoops around their hips. A man stood behind a microphone, singing to passersby and the few people who were compelled to stop and listen. Food trucks filled with an array of different cuisines lined another street; families and friends alike munched on meals at picnic tables in the
road. One street was filled with white tents as far as the eye could see, each home to a different business for a few days. Where could all of these scenes possibly be happening adjacent to each other? SPARKcon, Raleigh’s annual festival of creativity, which happened for the 9th year this past weekend. Victoria Schuch, an NC
State alumna, stood in the booth marked “Headbands of Hope” and smiled at each person who passed. Schuch is an intern for Headbands of Hope and got involved after interviewing the owner for a class. After that interview, Schuch said she fell in love with the company. She also fell in love with SPARKcon—her favorite el-
ements being the music and the chalk contest. According to Schuch, Headbands of Hope brings an additional element to the festival that others may not have. “SPARKcon is all about creativity,” Schuch said. “And Headbands of Hope binds creativity with a good cause, so I feel that’s what we bring

Hip-hop group emphasizes storytelling and theatrics Holden Broyhill Staff Writer
For students interested in different areas of dance culture, a group here at NC State may provide the perfect outlet. The Production is a hiphop-inspired dance group that will hold auditions Tuesday on the second floor of the Recreation Center. Ricky Phuong, a senior in design studies, founded the group in 2012 after he and his friends put together a ninjainspired set for Asia Night, the university’s Asian Student Association show. Phuong said he and his friends were interested in introducing a different side of hip-hop dance to NC State that emphasized theatrics and storytelling. The set was supposed to be a one-time thing, Phuong said, but because the crowd enjoyed the group’s dance, the performance led to the formation of The Production. The Production holds three practices per week, and members attend based on their schedule and how much time they can invest. The amount of time that each
member puts into the group is the amount of experience they get out of it, according to Phuong. The Production holds two to three performances each year. It limits its performances due to the time it takes to build the intricate sets that they only use once. According to Phuong, The Production wants the audience to experience something different at each performance. “Auditions are less about the quantity [of applicants] but more of giving everyone the chance to share the same passion for dance with us,” Phuong said. “We have had great turnouts so far and look forward to growing and spreading the love!” The Production has grown over the past two years in numbers and recognition. It won NC State’s best dance crew and competed in the national hip hop competition, Prelude Carolinas. Phuong said his time managing The Production has taught him valuable lessons in leadership, organization and his love for working with people. Katie Martin, a freshman in engineering, recently joined
The Production. Martin, who started dancing at age 4, said the community that dance groups create is even more valuable than the dancing itself. “If you are having fun with it and putting your heart into the performance, then it will be so much better,” Martin said. “Clearly getting the moves down is important, but just going through the motions is not what makes a good dancer. If you get every move right with no emotion, it’s not as powerful as getting the moves most of the time and putting life and feeling into the performance.” Manaka Green, a sophomore with computer science intent, said she joined The Production due to the way the group incorporates hip-hop dance styles. Green said she couldn’t sit still as a child, which led to her taking up dancing. Green said dancing has helped increase her confidence and speak with more enthusiasm. She advises applicants to feel the moves and exaggerate them in the beginning of the routine so their muscles will be more likely to remember them when the
speeds increase. Jonathan Lovin, a junior in industrial engineering, has been a member of The Production for almost a year. According to Lovin, his interest in dancing stemmed from his passion for music, and he saw dancing as a way to express almost anything through music. “I met one of the earlier members of The Production by chance,” Lovin said. “He was really enthusiastic about being a part of the group and suggested that I check out the auditions.” The Production holds three practices per week, which includes one optional practice to help members improve their skills or learn fundamental skills for various types of dancing. According to Lovin, The Production wants to attract dancers who share the same love of dance as the founding members. Lovin advises applicants to dance without reservation during their auditions. He said The Production is focused on helping members reach their potential, so it’s OK if applicants mess up in the audition as long as they keep trying.
COURTESY OF THE PRODUCTION
The Production is a hip-hop-inspired dance group that was founded in 2012. The group will hold auditions for the new year Tuesday.
Lovin said The Production has helped him become more sociable as he became part of a supportive community of friends who create an environment where people can come out of their shells. Lovin also said dancing is a great stress relief, especially during exam time or long study sessions. “I joined The Production with no prior dance experience,” Lovin said. “I was nervous and worried about not being good enough, but that soon went away. The Production is very capable of making great dancers out of people who have never danced before, because it has
great teachers and a supportive group of members.” For Lovin, dancing has helped his ability to think creatively. He said that when learning a set of moves, it is easy to see that the choreography could go in any direction, which means each move keeps new and experienced dancers interested. The Production, according to Lovin, is a unique organization, even in comparison to other hip-hop groups. When the group performs a piece, it puts reason, action and emotion behind it to share a story with the audience.

that may be different than other booths here.” Marcus Hawley stood behind a table covered in a sea of vibrant bow ties. He owns Natty Neckware, an apparel and accessory business based out of Durham. According to Hawley, his company brings flavor to men’s formal attire by using patterns and fabrics that wouldn’t normally be found in a department store. According to Hawley, Natty Neckware coincides nicely with the aesthetic of SPARKcon. Hawley said his company’s products are fun and creative, adding that his company uses sequined fabric
to make some of its bowties. “I love how SPARKcon brings out the creativity in everyone, brings the child out in everyone,” Hawley said. “You see kids playing with chalk but you also see adults playing with chalk, and getting really serious about it.” Marianne Donohue stood in her booth for her company, Needle and Thread, adorning a colorful apron. Needle and Thread has been around for 10 years, but Donohue said she had been quilting since she was a little girl. “People-watching is my favorite thing about SPARKcon,” Donohue said. “But I think my booth adds some whimsy to the event.” Erik and Shannon Newby are a married couple who
own Fontface, a company that sells framed prints of various original puns. “I’m the graphic designer and she’s the brains,” Erik Newby said. “I call her the pun-mister.” The Newbys said they are fairly new to the SPARKcon scene, this year marking the second year they attended. “I love how SPARKcon brings different groups of people together that normally wouldn’t be together,” Erik Newby said. Shannon said she hoped their booth brought something special to the weekend. “I hope that our booth brings smiles and giggles to the festival,” Shannon Newby said.

The Wolfpack defense impressed, no longer looking like the unit that has allowed a combined 942 yards for 57 points in their first two outings. Take away the Bulls’ first-half 75-yard bomb, and the Pack defense allowed just 19 yards in the air. The pass rush shut down White all day, as NC State recorded three sacks and forced a fumble. The Bulls struggled to get any push off the line as the Wolfpack defense stuffed South Florida for just 70 yards on the ground. Freshman quarterback Quinton Flowers entered the game to provide the option attack for the Bulls. Flowers rolled out of the pocket, rushing two plays and passing, but was picked off on both occasions. Sophomore corner Jack Tocho and freshman safety Josh Jones were the benefactors of the speedster’s errors. Freshman w ideout Bo Hines continued to play well, as the Charlotte native hauled in three catches for 63 yards. Hines leads the team with 16 receptions for 209 yards on
the year. The rout continued the in the second half, as the Pack capped two more drives, creating six unanswered scores since the Bulls’ 75 yard pass play. With the score 42-7 in the 3rd more fans began filing out at Raymond James, which made the massive NFL stadium appear to be only populated by a couple thousand onlookers. The rest of the game looked to be something of a practice for the Wolfpack as Coach Dave Doeren began rotating his bench into the game and mercifully calling off the attack. With the Wolf pack now 3-0 on the season, it is tempting for State fans to look ahead with optimism. NC State looks to begin ACC conference play undefeated after it takes on Presbyterian at Carter-Finley on Saturday at 6 p.m.

the 8th minute before dribbling past the State defense to fire past Stelljes, who was back in the net for the Wolfpack, in the 32nd minute. State looked disorganized in the back and struggled with Greensboro’s quickness in midfield. The normally solid Wolfpack interior looked out-of-sync, and Saager’s normally effective, bullish play up front simply wasn’t coming off. The halftime whistle, however, allowed the Pack to regroup and despite fairly inconsistent and imprecise play, dominated proceedings on the stats sheet, outshooting
the Spartans 16-4. In the 69th minute, sophomore forward Brittany Stanko beat her defender and sent in a low cross. The Greensboro keeper mishandled, and Saager was on hand to tap home. Less than two minutes later, State found its second through Alexa Allen. A corner kick from Tomayko found its way to the top of the box, and the sophomore forward’s volley deflected off a Greensboro player and into the net to earn the 2-2 draw. With tough ACC games coming, State needs to put together a consistent perfor-
6-0 run that would eventually turn into a 25-22 victory. The fourth and final set would prove to be a true test for State. After going down 12-6, the Pack fought its way back to tie the set at 15 apiece. “When we get a big lead or when we get down, it’s hard to keep them composed,” Bunn said. “We showed a lot of composure coming back.” Despite 16 team blocks from the Bulldogs, the State squad battled out a 31-29 win to take the final game of the
tournament. Bunn said that when going against a team with such strong blockers, it’s all about vision. “Our attackers have to see the blocks and move the ball,” Bunn said. The Pack will head back to Raleigh this weekend, as it will host its second tournament of the season: the NC State Courtyard Midtown Invitational.

mance over the entire game, according to Tomayko. “It’s comforting to know that we have all the components, we just need the 90-minute performance,” Tomayko said. “It’s gonna happen, you can see it on the field when we really looked good.” After the draws, Santoro said the group still has a ways to go before facing the brunt of the schedule. “We have a lot more to do for ACC play, which starts on Sept. 21 against Wake Forest, but we will get there,” Santoro said.

NCAA, ACC allow schools to determine domestic abuse policy
On Monday of last week, TMZ released a video of Ray Rice punching his fiancee in the face and knocking her out in a casino elevator. He was later released by the Baltimore Ravens and suspended indefinitely by the NFL. In light of this event, the NCAA and ACC have allowed the individual teams to determine their players’ fates if they face domestic violence charges. Last season, Wolfpack running back Shadrach Thornton was charged with a misdemeanor assault on a female. Head coach Dave Doeren waited to suspend him until the situation was resolved by the legal system and the university. Thornton has since moved on and remains on the team. SOURCE: NEWSOBSERVER.COM
NC State falls short to Wake Forest in 2-1 defeat on Friday
With two red-carded NC State soccer players disqualified from the game in the final minutes, and nine players left on the field, the Wolfpack failed to pull through in the end, as the Wake Forest Demon Deacons sealed a 2-1 victory over the Pack. The heated matchup began with two unanswered goals in the first half by the Demon Deacons. The first was scored by sophomore midfielder Hayden Partain, who headed the ball in off of a corner kick in the 16th minute. Junior forward Michael Gamble scored later in the half, beating the keeper one on one to toe it in. Wolfpack sophomore midfielder Michael Bajsa hit a long-range shot in the 54th minute, but the Pack fell short, failing to tie with another score.
Pack pummels USF in road win Michael McLamb Correspondent
The NC State Wolfpack defeated the South Florida Bulls by a lopsided score of 49-17 on Saturday to achieve its first road win since September, 2012. The Bulls managed just 159 offensive yards while the Pack compiled numbers of video-game proportions with 589 total yards. Raymond James Stadium, home of the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, played host to the Pack’s beat down of the Bulls. Saturday’s contest marked junior quarterback Jacoby Brissett’s first game back in Florida since 2012. The Bulls’ crowd of more than 27,000 fans paled in comparison to the number of attendees at Brissett’s home games in The Swamp as a Florida Gator. Nevertheless, Brissett returned in style, as he threw for 266 yards and two touchdowns. Junior running back Shadrach Thornton and sophomore running back Matt Dayes had their way on the ground once again on Saturday. Thornton ran for 70 yards and one touchdown, while Dayes dashed his way to 129 allpurpose yards, and also won a touchdown. The t y pical instigators of Thornton and Dayes were also

Creecy recorded 81 all-purpose yards off of 10 carries and 2 receptions, while Nichols flashed out of the backfield for an 18-yard burst in the fourth quarter. The four backs dominated with 263 rushing yards. Sophomore receiver Bra’Lon
Cherry got things rolling in the first quarter for the Pack, as he took the jet sweep from Brissett and raced to a 17-yard touchdown. Cherry would also rush for another touchdown and be on the receiving end of 17yard score. On the Bulls’ ensuing drive, quarterback Mike White found a streaking Ryeshene Bronson, who sprinted
away from the State secondary for a 75-yard touchdown. Everything went downhill from there for the Bulls, as the Pack scored on four unanswered drives to close the half, bumping up the score to 35-7 at the break.

The NC State women’s soccer team posted its second draw in four days on Sunday, 2-2 against UNC-Greensboro, after coming out even versus Western Carolina on Thursday. A lethargic Pack gave up a pair of firsthalf goals to the Spartans but secondhalf strikes from freshman forward Kayla Saager and redshirt sophomore forward Alexa Allen leveled the match. Thursday’s game was nearly the opposite, as junior defender Dayna Tomayko gave the Wolfpack an early 1-0 lead, but the Catamounts clawed back late in the second half. Despite 20 minutes of overtime in both matches, neither team could find a winner. On Thursday, the Pack struck within five minutes. Tomayko made a long run forward from left back, and a quick flurry of interior passes eventually found the junior inside the box for an easy finish—her second in two games. With the early goal, the game seemed under
State’s control, and the Pack dominated the rest of the half, taking 15 shots to the Catamounts 10 and the majority of the game’s corner kicks. With the statistical edge, the Pack’s failure to find the back of the net was something of a surprise, but Western’s goalkeeper Carly Tinstman recorded seven saves on the night to keep the match close. When you don’t finish opponents, even the smallest mistakes can allow them back into the game, and the Catamounts took advantage of weak set-piece defending from State to level the score in the 82nd minute of play. Even with two 10-minute overtime periods, the Pack couldn’t find a winner but avoided slipping to a defeat against a non-conference opponent. Wolfpack Head Coach Tim Santoro was upset his team didn’t execute, but recognized the team is still building and improving and lacks a number of starters, while Alexa Allen made her return from an ankle injury and lacked peak fitness. “We have a lot of injuries right now,” Santoro said. “We have three or four key injuries, so we have to go to our depth and try new things.”

The NC State volleyball team won its secondstraight tournament this weekend, undefeated in the Georgia Benson Hospitality Invitational. Earning wins over Harvard, UNC-Asheville and Georgia, the Wolfpack extended its current win streak to eight games. State (8-1) kicked off the Invitational against Harvard (4-2) on Friday night, defeating the Crimson, 3-1. Freshman middle blocker Kaitlyn Kearney led the way for the Pack with 12 kills on just 20 attempts. Kearney notched 36 kills in 11 sets this weekend, earning tournament MVP honors in the process. Head Coach Bryan Bunn said Kearney deserved the award for her stellar play. “She does a nice job of taking care of the ball,” Bunn said. “She doesn’t make many errors and does a good job of seeing the bock and hitting around it.” State broke off to a 4-0 run early in the first set, highlighted by two service aces from senior outside hitter Nikki Glass. Glass finished the match with three aces, and the team had five total. The second set was neckand-neck, as the two teams totaled 11 ties before the Crimson took the set, 28-26. The Pack answered with a strong third set, taking a 14-4 lead to start the fourth. State had to hold off a late comeback by Harvard, but eventually took the final set, 26-24.
In its first match on Saturday, the Pack dominated in-state foe UNC-Asheville (2-8) in straight sets. The Bulldogs finished the tournament in Georgia without winning a single set. Af ter a subpar match against Harvard, senior outside hitter Rachel Buckley returned to form, notching a team-high nine kills. Kearney and freshman outside hitter Julia Brown tied Buckley with nine apiece. After seeing no action in the previous seven games, junior setter Tanna Aljoe got the start over sophomore setter Maggie Speaks against UNC-A. Aljoe had a strong match, recording a gamehigh 39 assists along with four digs. In the final game of the tournament, the Pack took on host Georgia (5-4), handling the Bulldogs in four sets. Freshman outside hitter Perry Ramsey had a monster outing, recording 17 kills, the most for any State player all season. “She played much more confidently than she did a couple weeks ago,” Bunn said. Georgia took the first set after an 11-4 run midway through to take a 23-16 lead en route to a 25-20 victory. State responded by duking out a two-point win in the second set, which included 14 ties and seven lead changes. Aljoe entered the game in the second set for Speaks and recorded 15 of her 41 assists during the second set.
