Limits may hinder Hike business
Campus haunted by ghosts

Mitch’s owner says restriction promotion will do more to draw away patrons than restrictions themselves
uring the day, campus is full of life. But as the campus is touched by the moonlight, it is transformed into a labyrinth filled with darkness and despair. Angered spirits look for those who tormented them and life and lost souls simply stand by and watch the University grow. As you walk into the following buildings, you can still hear the whispers of those who can’t bear to part with the University.

The Universit y’s parking li mitat ions on Ha l loween may not significantly impact Hillsborough Street businesses, but Mitch Hazouri, owner of Mitch’s Tavern, said the University’s “grandstanding� in trying to restrict patrons from Hillsborough Street is hurtful. “The kind of businesses the University really needs are most hurt by this,� Hazouri said. The University’s administrators are acting “childish� and with “nerve� to think that by restricting outsiders from entering the University, they can control the situation on Hillsborough Street, Hazouri said. The University announced Tuesday that it would restrict many parking lots on campus to only those with valid University IDs in an effort to keep the Hike an exclusively studentbased event. According to Hazouri, most of his customers are not students, but other Raleigh residents. “It’s the outsiders we need to have a busy street,� he said. The University’s press release about parking restrictions will do more to drive people away than the parking restrictions themselves, Hazouri said. Most of the people who will attend the Hike, he said, are not likely to park on campus. In the past, people have parked on adjacent streets, and Hazouri said most of his customers do not know campus parking is open at night. Hazouri said he was offended in part because people coming to N.C. State to use D.H. Hill Library or other establishments on campus frequently use parking spaces that belong to Hillsborough Street businesses. Israel McGhee, manager of Charlie’s Grilled Subs, said they have plans to stay open to 2 a.m. for the Hike, but that the parking restrictions would likely cut down on business. “From a business perspective,

TRAIN TRACKS / 1911 BUILDING: The 1911 Building was originally a dormitory and was the largest dormitory in the south at the time of it’s construction. The building is said to be haunted by a student who died as a result of a prank gone wrong. The student, who lived in the 1911 building, was bound and gagged while sleeping and tied to the railroad tracks by a secret society that existed on campus. The society knew the train schedule and tied the student to the side of the tracks the train would only pass by, and he would not be injured. Legend has it that the student was so frightened that he died of a panic-induced heart attack. Faculty, whose offices are in the first floor of the 1911 building, have reported mysterious banging sounds coming from the basement, the northern half of which has been closed off for years. Today, high fencing surrounds the tracks and it is considered trespassing to be on them in order to prevent accidents such as what happened in 1911.

Officials on the State Board of Elections are considering extending early voting hours Saturday by four hours. Early voting hours this Saturday were set to end at 1 p.m. in most counties. The proposed change would extend voting hours to 5 p.m. Saturday. However, local Boards of Elections must approve the change. James Hall, a senior in communication, said he does not think extending early voting hours will increase turnout significantly. “People who have strong opinions have already likely voted or have planned which candidate they are going to vote for,� he said. “For most
ALUMNI BUILDING / INFIRMARY:
Built in 1897, the Alumni building originally served as the campus infirmary. The history of the building has lead many to speculate that it is haunted. In 1918, 13 students died in the infirmary of the worldwide Spanish influenza epidemic including then-Chancellor Riddick’s daughter, who was serving as a nurse. It is rumored that her ghost still wanders the building. Employees who work in the building have heard footsteps and the random opening and closings of doors.

Hazouri described the University’s efforts as a political play that was “blown out of proportion.� “The University is very sensitive to politics,� he said. The police that work to secure Hillsborough Street should welcome students, Hazouri said, but their approach is too harsh. With Raleigh Police’s zerotolerance policy, he said a student caught for something that would normally bring them a citation could now result in an arrest or added punishment from within the
Just before it was completed in 1889, a fire of unknown origin destroyed part of the woodwork and defaced the walls with smoke. According to rumor, the fire was started by the disturbed spirits of three people who were buried near the east side of the building. The idea that Holladay Hall was erected on or near the site of an old family burial ground seems to be verified by the following statement in the minutes of the trustees for November 9, 1887: “The chairman was requested to see the parties interested in the dead buried on the college grounds with a view of having the bodies removed; otherwise to have them disinterred and buried elsewhere,� — History of N.C. State College, Lockmiller. Today, there are many important offices in Holladay Hall, including that of Chancellor Oblinger.
people Tuesday is voting day. If a week-long increase hasn’t changed things enough, I don’t think four hours will make a difference, especially since people may already have Saturday plans.� Hall said he also doubts that extending early voting Saturday by four hours will make early voting any more convenient. “People voting age and above are usually those who work or have their schedules already planned out,� he said. “Extending early voting hours could make it more convenient, but only if people know about it.� However, Michael Boergert, a senior in math, said the change would make a difference because it would make voting on Saturday more convenient. “People sleep late on Saturdays, so making it so people VOTING continued page 3

Animal-vehicle crashes on the rise
Storm causes thousands to lose power More than 40,000 homes in upstate New York are without power after a winter storm knocked several tree limbs onto power lines, New York State Electric and Gas officials said. The National Weather Service reported storm totals of about 14 inches of snow in northern New Jersey’s High Point State Park, about 15 inches along the edge of New York’s Catskill Mountains and a foot in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains. Crews in New Jersey are working to restore power to the 41,000 homes, mainly in the northern part of the state. Jersey Central Power and Light officials said service might not be full until tonight because several fallen tress have prevented crews from reaching power lines. The storm also touched parts of western North Carolina, with one to three inches in the upper elevations.

Human fatalities from vehicle crashes involving deer and other large animals have more than doubled in the past 15 years, according to a report by an auto insurance-funded safety group. The Highway Loss Data Institute has found that 223 people died in animal-vehicle crashes last year, up from 150 in 2000 and 101 in 1993. “Urban sprawl means suburbia and deer habitat intersect in many parts of the country,� Kim Hazelbaker, the Highway Loss Data Institute’s senior vice president, said. “If you’re driving in areas where deer are prevalent, the caution flag is out, especially in November.� The institute looked at insurance claims and federal crash data and found that most accidents involving animals are with deer. Jonathan Adkins, the institute’s spokesperson, said there are no proven countermeasures, other than fencing, which he said is “extremely expensive and not practical. Our message to motorists is to slow down, particularly at dusk and on rural roads.� SOURCE: CNN.COM
Bomb blast kills 62 Several blasts exploded almost simultaneously through crowded areas of a remote state in India on Thursday. 62 people were killed and an additional 300 were wounded, an Assam state official said. Assam Home Commissioner Rajiv Kumar Bora said several other small blasts occurred in the northeastern state in addition to the nine bombs, which authorities believe came from kitchen gas cylinders. No one has claimed responsibility for the attacks, but Bora said the United Liberation Front of Asom -- a separatist group that has waged a 20-year rebellion -- was a suspect in the attacks.

Health center encourages flu shot
The Student Health Center, in conjunction with Academy for Educational Development and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is urging students to receive a flu shot. The CDC says college students are especially at risk because they are meeting new people everyday and are constantly in close quarters with one another. A flu vaccination comes in two forms — a traditional shot as well as a nasal spray. The CDC says students should get vaccinated in November or December, when flu activity peaks. Because different strains of the influenza virus circulate each year, the CDC says students should get a flu shot every year as new flu vaccines are developed. There are multiple signs, such as headache, fever, tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, runny nose
or muscle aches. Many of these symptoms can at first seem the same as the common cold, but usually grow more severe. The Student Health Center will have a flu clinic in Talley Student Center Ballroom Nov. 5 from noon to 8 p.m., and another clinic at the Student Health Center on Nov. 6 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Nov. 5 clinic is the only clinic where students can use Board Bucks or a credit card. You can also pay with cash or check.

University. Hazouri said the city of Raleigh sees the Hike as competition to downtown events. According to Hazouri, the Hike is not an event, but a gathering of people without common purpose. He said he understands the urge for police presence, and that customers would probably appreciate it, but he disagreed with the Raleigh Police’s tone. “Most people appreciate and accept the responsibility that the University has for the safety of its students,” he said. While large celebrations, like those after a major athletics win, can be disruptive, Hazouri said that is because of groupthink, which doesn’t happen in situations like the Hike. He also said the city has had a part in the University’s efforts to restrain the Haunted Hike, as he said there is limited appeal in downtown Raleigh, where the city has to spend thousands to get participants for events. The Haunted Hike last year, he said, needed little promotion and few incentives.

Pre-Law services continue aiding students in their path to law school Students pursue law degrees from all different fields
James Cox Staff Writer
Pre-Law Services is growing and continuing to help students on their varying paths to law schools according to Mary Tetro, coordinator. “Law schools actually prefer the method that we have, allowing our students to take advantage of the diversity of our academic programs,” Tetro said. The American Bar Association does not recommend any undergraduate majors or group of courses to prepare for a legal education, she said. “Students are admitted to law school from almost every academic discipline,” Tetro said. “We are sending students to law schools from every college on campus.” Students are encouraged by the ABA to pursue an area of study that interests and challenges them, according to Tetro, and the pre-law program currently holds about 1,100 students. Most of the students on that list didn’t plan for law school initially, she said. “Only about 4 percent of incoming freshmen tell the University that they want to go to law school,” Tetro said. Lauren LaMontagne, vice president of the Pre-Law Students Association, was one of the other 96 percent. However, she said she soon realized that, that was what she wanted to do. “I decided that I wanted to go to law school after my first semester,” LaMontagne said.

tion, said his story was slightly different. “I started out at a community college while working full time,” he said. “Then, I took a year off and worked 50 to 60 hours a week. When I found out that I would be going to State, I knew that I wanted to be an attorney.” Pre-Law Services has been hosting a Law School Fair for seven years, Tetro Said. Some of the Law Schools that attended the Oct. 21 event in-
cluded Boston College, Cornell University, Duke University, UNC-Chapel Hill, Northeastern, University of Tennesse, Vanderbilt and William and Mary. Workshops were a part of the fair to educate students, LaMontagne said. “There was workshops on writing, academic conduct, financing law school, and underrepresented populations in law schools,” she said. One of the activities that PreLaw Services offers is called
Mock Admissions, LaMontagne said. “What happens is we look at some applications and decide whether those students should get into law school,” she said. “We get the applications with all the confidential information blacked out. The Mock Admission helps us to see the admissions process from both sides-the applicant, which is us, and the admissions point of view.” State has a strong reputation within the law school commu-
nity, according to Tetro. “We want to remain a respected undergraduate school,” LaMontagne said. Throughout the semester, PreLaw Services holds workshops that range from the application process to what attorneys really do, Tetro said. On Thursday Nov. 6 at 4 pm in the honors commons there will be a workshop for freshman, sophomores, and transfer students in room 110A, she said.

can vote later in the day will make it easier to get there,” he said. “I’m sure some people are just going to wait until Election Day regardless.” Boergert said he will not be voting early, so a change in early voting hours will not affect him. “I’m suspicious of early voting because there’s a lot of room for fraud,” he said. “There is lot of controversy in a lot of states about votes getting counted twice.” According to Boergert, people who vote early are at a disadvantage because they have
less time to choose between candidates and will not being able to take into account last minute speeches. “It’s best if you weight everything and really think about who you’re voting for before you vote,” he said. “I do that even with student elections.” Jessica Garland, a sophomore in business administration, said it would help if early voting hours were increased. “If the hours are increased for Saturday it would be easier for people who want to vote last minute,” she said. “Lines are outrageous so it will give people more time.” According to Garland, it is critical for the Board of Elections to publicize the changes, if there are any. “The effectiveness of increasing early voting hours depends on how they market it,” she
said. “It’s definitely possible to get word out, so early voting will at least increase it by a little bit. It is a really smart idea to have early voting on Saturdays because some people need to go home to vote and they will not want to do that during the week.”
As officials in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences face University-wide budget cuts, they are trying to minimize changes that directly affect students, according to Matthew Enderwick, CHASS assistant dean for finance and administration. The State Budget Office asked for a 2 percent reversion of current spending in state institutions, and the University is dispersing cuts differently between the colleges. “CHASS will be having budget cuts of about 1.49 percent,” Enderwick said. These cuts will not affect student clubs, which he said are supported by a student fee of $2.50. Enderwick said that the budget cuts are manageable. “They will affect everyone,” Enderwick said. “But we are trying to minimize the impact on students.” Enderwick said as classes are condensed to cut costs, class sizes are being increased when the room size makes it possible. James Flynt, a frehman in anthropology, said while enrolling for classes, he has not had problems getting his top choices. “I’m not having problems getting into my classes,” Flynt said. “None of my friends in CHASS have either.” Ian Calloway, a sophomore in English, didn’t know about the
class sizes increasing at all. Calloway hasn’t had any trouble getting into his classes, but he has noticed that some of his friends have been having difficulties. “Some of my friends are having trouble getting the classes that they need,” Calloway said. “They are having to be put on the wait list.” Enderwick said that many of the cuts would be made within electives classes. “We are not going to cut any classes that would hold students back from graduating,” Enderwick said. Drew St Claire, a sophomore in creative writing and arts applications, said that he was frustrated with a lack of spots in classes while registering. “Most of my classes are already waitlisted,” St Claire said. He said that he wished that his degree audit on My Pack Portal had been updated previous to enrollment. “I wanted to take English 490, but the class no longer exists,” St Claire said. St Claire said he heard about budget cuts prior to enrolling, but didn’t know how they were going to affect him. The faculty travel budget has had additional cuts, Enderwick said, even after cuts earlier in the semester. The college has also put a hiring freeze in place, and is only taking on new employees when completely necessary, he said, but this will not affect the current permanent faculty.

{OUR VIEW}
Ballot confusing, but informed voting is essential THE ISSUE:
North Carolina’s ballots do not include the presidential election and non-partisan races with straight-ticket votes, which may confuse uninformed voters
OUR OPINION:
While this ballot design may be confusing, it distracts from the problem of people not knowing enough about the candidates they are voting for.
THE SOLUTION:
Students should use all the resources at hand, such as voters’ guides, to guarantee they elect candidates who support their views.

Columns should be more fair and balanced Let me first say that I was a bit disappointed by the Technician — the Fox News edition I picked up this morning. With the columns and cartoons, I would expect the paper to be a little more “Fair and Balanced.” Throughout this election, the right has been clamoring about Obama’s lack of experience. I think if you look back into history you will find great leaders who had little or no experience, but what they did have is a passion for change. I am not claiming that being a community organizer gives you enough experience to be president. I am claiming that with the way Washington is right now, experience in that system is not what we need. We need someone who will shake things up, who will inspire and change America for the better. As for your comment about Palin being more experienced than Obama — Palin is an idiot. Bottom line. I’m so tired of people talking about how great she is. I don’t care if she has enough experience to be the pope, I wouldn’t put her in charge of a book club, much less the country. As for your concern about the economy, well, look at the news. These are the results of a government that has deregulated and looked out for irresponsible and corrupt big businesses. In return, those businesses have brought us to the brink of depression. I guess you should instead be asking, “Can America really do without Obama?” Jeremy Bunting junior, aerospace engineering
Sawrey’s column not convincing I found Benton Sawrey’s October 29th column, “Is America really ready for Obama?” to be disturbingly wrong on many counts. I’ll begin with the enlarged quote, comparing Senator Obama’s experience Governor Palin’s. Palin, who a McCain aide recently said “simply knew nothing about national and international issues,” assumed the office of governor in December 2006, and before that was mayor of a town about the size of Mebane. I’m not sure how spending less than two years in charge of a state slightly larger than Charlotte is more experience than four years as a U.S. Senator, including time on the Foreign Relations Committee. As for Sawrey’s mention of Obama having never run a small business, I would like to point out that Sarah Palin once had part ownership in a car wash.

lection Day is Nov. 4, and while some predict record turnouts at the polls, some voters may not actually cast a vote for president due to North Carolina’s confusing ballot, which does not include the presidential nominee as part of a straight-ticket vote. Given North Carolina’s new status as a swing state, this could have huge implications for the presidential election. However, this does not mean the state needs to include the presidential election in the straight-ticket vote. Students should go into the polls informed — one way they can do this is to use voters’ guides. Michael Cobb, an assistant professor in political science, said
The unsigned editorial is the opinion of the members of Technician’s editorial board excluding the news department and is the responsibility of the editor-in-chief.
there really is no way to know the impact of separating the presidential election from other races on the ticket. Cobb said people may not want to vote for candidates they do not have enough information about or in races they do not want to vote in. Ironically, North Carolina Democrats created the law responsible for separating the presidential race from the downticket races. Cobb said Democrats created the law to help their down-ticket candidates, as North Carolina tended to vote Republican for president, which hurt Demo-
crats, who did well in state and local races. Ultimately, there is no way to know who voters intended to vote for, and there is no way to determine if the ballot design has any impact on the presidential election. The only certainty is that all voters, including students, need to be as informed as possible. It is a right and civic duty to vote, but voters also have immense responsibility. The people voters elect into office will control taxes, laws and government programs for the next few years. State election boards are re-
sponsible for ensuring fair, transparent elections, and the various parties and candidates need to present their positions to voters. But voters have the final say in who they elect, and they need to take the initiative in researching candidates and getting to the polling stations. Various news agencies, including Technician, produced voters’ guides and FAQs with information regarding candidates’ positions and voting procedures. Students need to use these resources and make the responsible choice by voting based on the facts.

What changes could be made to North Carolina’s ballot to reduce voter confusion? BY DAVID MABE
Sawrey’s arguments against Obama’s tax plan were even less convincing. Labeling them as a “redistribution of wealth,” he clearly intended to appeal to his readers’ fears. Adam Smith, when he literally penned the book of capitalism, “The Wealth of Nations,” in 1776, wrote “It is not very unreasonable that the rich should contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion.” Obama’s tax actually embodies one of capitalism’s founding principles, and I’m sure that Mr. Sawrey is a proponent of capitalism.

Research your candidates How could you forget about Sen. Obama’s relationship with Reverend Wright? Or all the babies he’s eaten? Seriously, though, your lack of logical thought was only exceeded by your poor grammar and phrasing. Did I miss something, or is the general election Thursday (“less than two days away”)? In your run-on sentence about qualifications, you make numerous logical fallacies. I sincerely hope you do not believe all Obama has done is “surrounded himself with advisors for a few years and made some nice speeches.” Although, surrounding oneself with advisors sounds very similar to a presidential cabinet. Honestly, my favorite argument you make, is how Palin is more experienced as an executive than Obama. To expand this statement, it should read “Palin has more experience than Obama, McCain, and Biden combined.” This is why everyone should write in Palin for President Obama having no checks and balances is something to be concerned about, if he were elected president. Surely the Democratic Congress would approve of him turning our country into a communist one — after all, Democrats always agree with each other. Do you happen to remember when we had a Republican President, like George W. Bush and a Republican congress? Look how great we’ve been doing since then. I’m not writing this because I support Obama, I’m writing because it is ignorant messages such as yours that falsely inform the public. It’s amazing and frightening how much the media, people like you, actually affect the election. Please stop watching the news, do your own research of candidates and while you are at it, I’d suggest taking a few logic, political science, economy and math classes as well.

When we finally got to Franklin Street, which was a 20 minute walk from where we parked, we didn’t go into any buildings because we refused to pay the cover charge. On top of that I couldn’t even make a phone call that night, so I never got up with my friend.

and went back to Raleigh. I went to Franklin Street last year expecting to see creative costumes, events and even a bit of organization. I saw a few costumes that impressed me, but I mostly saw “sexy” school girls, “sexy” cats or other animals and the customary not-so-sexy penis costume. I saw dozens of policemen, some of whom even drove in from Charlotte, waiting on the sidewalks doing nothing but making googly eyes at the college g irls i n compromising costumes. I reg ret ted wast ing my gas, time and patience while getting to Franklin Street last year. I went because people told me it was something every college student in North Carolina should do at least once, or suffer through once. Even if you have planned on going to Franklin Street for a long time, I encourage you to change your mind. Well, I encourage you to always stay away from Franklin Street. Besides my less-thanperfect experience, take into account the other, better option: Hillsborough Street! Students can donate cans and get a T-shirt and get a wristband that allows them to get specials for dinner, snacks and drinks.

According to the Haunted Hillsborough Hike Facebook event, attendees can also donate canned goods on the night of Halloween. So even if you’re shivering in the frigid 40 degree weather, you’ll feel warm and fuzzy inside knowing that you helped “Spook Hunger.” I rea l ly hope t hat Hillsborough Street is going to have a big turnout and that everyone, especially students and alumni c ome a nd have a good time. Heck, I don’t even drink, but I’m going to promenade on the street that will one day host one of the biggest Halloween pa r t ie s i n the state.

Paranormal investigators search for haunting evidence EVPs, sightings give rise to ghosts in Mordecai House Jennifer Evans Correspondent
A
s the sun sets tonight, and Halloween day turns to Halloween night, curiosity will draw seekers of the paranormal to investigate the unknown universe of ghosts and spirits.
Halloween night ignites the minds and spirits of b th the living and the dead, giving paranormal investigators one special night to connect the two universes. Don’t believe in ghosts? Tell that to the ghost hunters at the Mordecai House, in downtown Raleigh. Hair-raising research Paranormal investigators first took an interest in the historic house when strange, reoccurring events continuously puzzled guests. Using electronic voice phenomena recordings and precise photography, these investigators have found physical proof that paranormal life exists within the Mordecai House. EVPs are sounds picked up on a recording device for which there is no known physical source. MORDECAI continued page 6
Ghostly encounters, relived Maco Light: The legend of Joe Baldwin Joe Baldwin was a conductor on the Wilmington-Manchester-Augusta railroad line before it became part of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. On one fateful night in 1867 near the Farmer’s Turnout station, later named Maco Station, Baldwin’s caboose suffered a terrible mishap that led to a horrific train wreck. His caboose had become uncoupled with the rest of his train, leaving him stranded in the middle of the track, right in line of an oncoming train. Frantic to warn the oncoming train, Baldwin began swinging a lantern to warn the oncoming train of its obstacle, but to no success. Eyewitnesses supposedly claim that Baldwin continuously swung the lantern right up to the collision, which caused his lantern to fly and land in a near by swamp. The light of the lantern never faltered. Baldwin’s body was found mangled and decapitated. Hid head was never found and Baldwin had to be buried without it.
Since the accident, sightings of a swinging light around the area of the track where the accident occurred have been numerous. Trainmen traveling the track would become misled by the light, believing it to be a distress signal only to stop and find no other train on the track that could have sent the signal. The legend says that it is Baldwin with his lantern, searching for the head that he lost during the fatal crash. So many sightings had been claimed, that it became known as the Maco Light and the story has been passed down through generations. Garrett Owen, sophomore in horticulture, said he was told the story by his father. So, one late summer night, him and his friend decided to ride out to the tracks to see the legendary Maco Light. He said he saw a faint light in the distance around the sight of the crash. Garrett Owen Sophomore in horticulture GHOST continued page 6
On Wednesday, Nov. 12, the City of Raleigh will resume its annual leaf collection project. City crews will make sweeps of the capital before Christmas. Sweeps will begin in neighborhoods west of Wade Avenue and rotate clockwise to other areas of Raleigh. A second city-wide will begin on Jan. 5 and run through the beginning of February. Residents should rake leaves in piles at the curb and not leave piles on top of water meters. Leaves will be picked up along with garbage, recycling and other yard waste. Yard waste should be placed in clear plastic bags, permanent containers or biodegradable paper yard waste bags. Yard waste could also be tied into bundles of five feet in length or less, 18 inches in diameter and less than 75 pounds. SOURCE: WWW.RALEIGH-NC.ORG
Chateau exhibit begins year long event
On Oct. 27, the McCain Gallery of the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts launched its photo exhibition on the Chateau de Compiegne. The display marks the beginning of the year round festivites celebrating the 90th anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended World War I. Mayer Charles Meeker will sign a proclamation declaring Nov. 11, 2008 through Nov. 11, 1009 “The year of Compiegne in Raleigh” on November 4. The armistice ending the war was signed on Nov. 11, 1918 in a rail car in Compiegne, France, Raleigh’s Gallic Sister City. In addition to the exhibit there will also a park re-dedication, a memorial parade and exchange visits between Compiegne and Raleigh citizens. The exhibit includes 12 prints display through Nov. 27. The photos depict one of France’s most historic estates and one of the three royal residences. The show is sponsored by the City of Raleigh and the Compiegne-Raleigh Sister City Association and is free to the public. The American Friends of the Chateau de Compiegne will be placing the exhibit at other Raleigh locations later in the year. SOURCE: WWW.RALEIGH-NC.ORG

married and moved into the house together. However, the next generations of children born into the house were forced to live in the shadow of ruins left by the Civil War. For this reason, the P.A.S.T Researchers said they believe the Mordecais’ great sorrows have caused them to cling to the house that was once home to the mst powerful families in Raleigh, ultimately tying the family to its house, this time as ghosts. The spirits that remain attached to the house are now forced t tap on the windowpanes of life, waiting helplessly for a resolution that may never come. Burke Little was the last Mordecai descendant, and last owner, to ever sleep in the house. Upon his death in the 1960s, the curse of bad fortune that plagued his distant relatives finally ended. However, until Burke’s death, the curse had wrapped its fingers around each member of his family, leaving the spirits of his relatives to forever linger in the Mordecai house.
Chris Roberts, co-founder of P.A.S.T Researchers, recalled one EVP that revealed the voice of a man reading a letter that had been delivered to the Mordecai House more than a century ago. On another occasion, his crew picked up the unmistakable voice of a young boy talking inside the empty house. He explained that the voices of children are often the easiest to detect because “they want you to know they’re there.” Finally, the most spine-tingling EVP the P.A.S.T Researchers detected was the faint but clear voice of a woman uttering a haunting plea to the investigators. Although her voice barely reached a whisper, her two short words, “Get out!”, keep paranormal investigators eager A fateful landmark to learn more.

It all happened one day in downtown Mooresville.... “A friend of mine’s dad owned an apartment complex in the area and he asked me if his dad paid us, would I be willing to come and help them load a bunch of boxes into a truck for about $10 an hour. Apparently, everything we were moving was already packed up so all we had to do was show. That afternoon my friend and his dad came and picked me up in their pickup truck. They didn’t tell me anything about where we were going or why they were moving, but I wasn’t really much inclined to ask since his dad was kind of intimidating. When we showed up, it looked like any old apartment. There were four rooms to each building with a walkway connecting the top two and a stairwell coming down to the bottom two. The apartment was on the left at the bottom.
We went into the apartment and the boxes were all over the place. All of the rooms were empty except one directly down the hall. There was nothing in their but an armchair that looked old like it should belong in my grandmother’s house. My friend told me that we were moving everything out of the house, but said that I absolutely should not touch the chair. I asked him why and he just said ‘Don’t do it.’ I ignored it, and took my keys and wallet out of my pockets and put them on the counter as we started moving things. About an hour into working, I swore I heard some fo tsteps go across the walkway on the top floor. I asked my friend if anyone was living in any of these apartments. He said no and that all of them were still open for sale. I tried to think nothing of it. We continued on for about 30 minutes or so before I heard the footsteps again, but they sounded like they were coming down the stairs.
I figured it was him or his dad so I just kept going about my work. However, my friend seemed like something was bothering him. Once we finished, I ran inside to grab my keys. However, when I went in with him, my keys were gone. We looked everywhere for them until I spotted them down the hallway in the room with the armchair. They were sitting on the center cushion. By now I knew my friend and his dad were messing with me. I turned to my friend and gave him a nasty look but he seemed a bit shaken. He said to not worry about the keys and that we would come back and get them later. I told him to forget that and walked down the hall. Just when I reached the room I picked up my keys off the cushion and almost instantly the door shut behind me. When I went to go to the door and open it, it was locked. I tried yelling for my friend saying it wasn’t funny that they were messing with me and he just kept yelling back saying they were try-

ing to get it open. I eventually took a seat in the armchair while I waited for them to open the door. However, it wasn’t but five seconds of sitting in that chair that I felt a tap on the back of my head. I stood up looking around expecting to see my friend but saw nothing. Ignoring it again I sat back down. This time I felt a swift knock to the back of my head that knocked me completely out of the seat. Right as I felt it, the door opened. I was freaking out, my heart was racing and my friend looked at me and just said run. We ran down the hallway and just a foot behind me I could hear the footsteps I heard before running after me. Once we got outside it was silent, nothing. It was the scariest moment in my life. My friend and his dad then told me that they are never able to keep anyone in the apartment for longer then about three months. Apparently there used to be an elderly couple that lived there that enjoyed their silence.
One day the man’s wife died and the next day he did as well — of unknown causes. He had an armchair that he always stayed in. They don’t think his spirit ever left the building. Last I knew, the apartment was taken by a man who also had a story about a party he threw. Apparently someone fell asleep in the chair and woke up with a busted lip and missing a tooth. He also said sometimes the cupboards would creak open or close shut on their own. All I know is no amount of money would ever bring me back to that place again.” Robert Steinberg Freshman, First Year College The devil’s staircase of Ashe County The Devil’s Staircase rests along Highway 88 in Ashe county.

Over the years, several reports had been made claiming that an unknown rider would accompany horseback riders as they traveled through trea. The most widely known phenomenon is the wailing cries of a baby that are said to be heard late at night. Michael Jimenez, who is in his second year of study in the agriculture institute, spent a weekend near the site with a friend. He said his friend insisted on visiting the site late in the night. Jimenez described that everything around the site was dead and the water seemed to have a dark green color to it. Though neither Jimenez or his friend heard any of the wailing that the site has claimed, he still believes that there is a certain presence that haunts the site.

Tape them to the shirt, three in the first row, two in the second, and one in the third in a pyramid shape on both the front and back of the shirt. Use the tape to hold the balloons together so they look like grapes. Tie the green ribbon around the headband to make the vine.

State attempted to speed up the attack against the Canes. “Every halftime has almost been the same speech,� senior forward Lindsay Vera said. “Kerrigan tells us we are doing a great job. She just keeps us going and cleans up a few things like push outside or open up, just little technical stuff, but for the most part she just keeps us going.� The scoreless tie was broken by a goal in the second half from 20 yards out by Miami forward Julianne Rickers in the 65th minute. The goal gave Miami a 1-0 lead which they would not surrender for the rest of the game. After the goal, the Pack went on the attack attempting to even up the game. “We’ve always been told that after a team scores, if it’s your team or not, the first five minutes after the goal is usually the biggest chance for the other team to score,� Vera said. “So we just look at each other and say five minutes and go after it.� The Pack’s best opportunity to tie it back up came off the shot of junior forward Briana Cunningham in the 81st minute.

“We knew we could combine and attack their outside backs, they have been playing really good in the flank lately and we figured that would open up the space in the middle for Lindsay to take on,” coach Laura Kerrigan said. “In the first half that is exactly what we did we got the ball around the side a few times and Lindsay was able to take on and dribble through their backs and put a shot off the
The women’s cross country program is not new to the ACC Championships race, but it’s runners are. The women’s team has taken down more conference titles than any other varsity program on campus — capturing 22 since 1978. But on Saturday, every single one of the six players wearing N.C. State’s uniform will be competing in their first ever conference championship race. Freshman Lauren Bishop said it is a lot to handle for the freshmen athletes. “We’re the youngest team to ever compete at [the ACC Championships],” Bishop said. “They’ve never fielded an allfreshman team before. It’s a little scary. But at the same time, we’ve been working out well, and we’ve all been running well together.” The championships will be held at the UNC Ranson-Hamrick Cross Country Course Saturday, with the women’s 6k race to start at 10 a.m. while the men’s

he Hurricanes (10-6-3, 3-4-2 ACC) of the University of Miami visited the women’s soccer team (8-11-0, 0-9-0 ACC) Thursday night at the N.C. State soccer stadium and left with a 1-0 victory. The loss was the eighth time
QUOTE OF THE DAY
the Wolfpack has been shut out this season and leaves the team still winless against opponents from the ACC. The first half ended in a scoreless tie with the Hurricanes leading in offense with seven shots, four on goal, and four corner kicks. The Pack had three shots, one on goal, and no corner kicks. The best opportunity for a score in the first half came from a shot of State senior forward Lindsay Vera in the 11th minute of the game. The shot banged off the cross bar inches from going in.
COMMENTARY
“We’ll have a little bit more head-to-head race combat with some of the other teams.”
Is N.C. State I
n the honor of Halloween, former Deputy Sports Editor Langdon Morris speculates whether N.C. State Athletics is cursed. If you haven’t noticed, N.C. State Athletics is struggling. Not just struggling, but pretty bad. With the exception of a few non-revenue sports, the majority of our varsity teams are near last in the ACC. Last season, the basketball team finished in dead last and the football team has yet to win a conference game this season. I know what you’re thinking: “Thanks man, if we weren’t cursed before, than you’re definitely jinxing us now.” In response, I ask you as a fellow fan, and in the spirit of Halloween, to consider some of the following evidence and to ask yourself — is N.C. State cursed?

The curse of Philip Rivers? The football team hasn’t been good since Philip Rivers’ departure — period. Sure, the year after he left, in 2004-05, we won the Meineke Car Care Bowl, but is that really an accomplishment? Shouldn’t a team with Mario Williams, Manny Lawson and John McCargo do a little better? The curse of Jim Valvano? In no way do I want to belittle the legacy and spirit of Jim Valvano or the Valvano family with this notion. We all know what coach Valvano means to N.C. State and what his enthusiasm as a coach and individual have done for the University, and what his family has continued to do for cancer

research. With that being said, the last ACC Tournament N.C. State won was in 1987, and the last regular season championship was in 1989. Valvano was forced out of the head coaching job (perhaps unfairly) in 1990 after allegations that some State players had sold shoes and tickets. The University put the team on a two year probation and banned the team from competing in the 1990 NCAA Tournament. Since then, State has been without a championship in either the regular season or in the ACC tourney, despite a plethora of talented players. Additionally, it appears as though nearly every N.C. State team sport has been down since Valvano was pressured off the N.C. State sidelines. Women’s soccer, volleyball and women’s basketball have all seen their winning percentages drop significantly. Only baseball has improved markedly since the end of the 1989-1990 season. You do the math.
