Buddy Walk spreads awareness, stimulates donations Jerry Richardson Stadium’s first-ever community event brings Charlotte together through common interest in Down syndrome support

Sara Carson

NEWS EDITOR Although lightning and rain threatened to shut down the event, the Buddy Walk was successfully completed by more than 2,100 walkers on Saturday, Oct. 11. This was the first community event to be held at Jerry Richardson Stadium, the university’s 2-year-old football stadium.

Buddy Walk, hosted by the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Charlotte (DSAGC), is a national event that has gone on for more than 20 years.

The walk began in Charlotte about 16 years ago, when it was held Uptown at Freedom Park.

The walk has taken place at the same location each year since its start in Charlotte. As the event has drawn larger crowds each year, it outgrew its original home and the group had to seek out a new one.

“It has been incredible. Everyone is talking about how beautiful it is here. And there’s

NINERONLINE.COM

so much room, so we can really grow as an organization, because someday I would like to have 10,000 people at our buddy walk, you know?

We’re very much hoping that UNC Charlotte invites us to come back,” said Executive Director for DSAGC Kathryn Larirviere on the new location.

In regards to her feelings about walking at the stadium, Lauren Barringer, mother to Gavin Barringer, of ‘Gavin’s Gang’ commented, “We like it, we’re excited. I actually attended and graduated from here as did my mom and brother, so we’ve got some ties to it, and we’re excited to have it here.”

The organization’s largest annual fundraiser is held each year to raise funds for DSAGC so that they are able to take their members to do fun activities throughout the year such as a sleep away camp in the mountains, a day camp OCT. 14 - OCT. 20, 2014

in Charlotte, conferences with national speakers, summer picnics and holiday parties.

“The purpose of Buddy Walk is twofold. Part of it is to be a fundraiser for the local organization, and part of it is to create community awareness.

The idea of getting 3,000 people together, some of them having Down syndrome, all mixed in is to show that gone are the days when people with Down syndrome were locked in the attic or in the basement of the school, you know?

They’re now out in your schools and they’re part of your community, and the Buddy Walk really is designed to show that. They’re more alike than different,” said Lariviere.

The walk began as attendees lined up behind the stadium’s press box and made their way around the outside of the location, coming down a ramp which unveiled a ballooned archway on the field to serve as the finish line.

In total, the walk was less than a mile long.

Laneviere shared that the reason for having such a short distance was so that people of all disabilities would be able to join in on the walk.

Beyond the finish line on the football field was a variety of activities for guests to participate in during the remainder of the event.

UNC Charlotte’s Student Athlete Council and Athletic Department provided footballs for walkers to throw and kick field goals with, as well as tackle dummies. DSAGC also provided face paint, bounce houses and other activities for children.

Although Lariviere’s goal of raising $225,000 has not been reached, she shared that they have raised $190,000 so far. It was also mentioned that their website, which collects donations, will be open until the end of the year, so donors can continue to support the cause for months to come.

Laniviere also mentioned that corporations tend to match or even double donations made during and before the walk.

Lariviere’s son, Cameron Lariviere, even had his own Buddy Walk team. Cameron played a large role in his mom’s involvement at DSAGC. When he was born nine years ago, Lariviere did not know that her son would have Down syndrome. Once he was born, she joined the organization as a volunteer and a year later, volunteered on the board of directors. Two and a half years ago, Larivire finally stepped into her current role as executive director.

“The more people that I have met with Down syndrome, and the more families I have met, I just feel such a connection to them and such a desire to help them,” said Larivire. “My goal is that someday my son is going to walk down the street and people are going to just look at him and look past. They’re not gonna stare at him.

They’re not gonna care, because he’s just like everybody else and it’s going to be something they

OCT. 14 - OCT. 20, 2014

don’t notice.”

“You know, this event really is to show people that individuals with Down syndrome are part of their community. We want people to see that.

They’re out here, they’re having fun, they’re just like everybody else.”

The UNC Charlotte Student Government Association (SGA) met for their weekly Student Senate legislative meeting Oct. 9.

Raising Awareness for new Withdrawal Policy Dean of Students Christine Reed-Davis and Jonathan Adams, dean and director of student conduct and outreach, addressed the senate regarding the new 16 credit hour withdrawal limit. They want to work with the SGA to spread more awareness about this new policy.

The new policy states that students may not withdraw from more than 16 credit hours over the course of their UNC Charlotte careers.

There are few exceptions to this rule such as mental or physical health problems and military leave. It was put into effect for all colleges under the UNC school system.

Students can learn more about the new policy at the UNC Charlotte student affairs website.

UNC CHARLOTTE’S NEWEST ADDITION TO GREEK LIFE PI KAPPA PHI LOOKS TO EXPAND THEIR 185 CHAPTERS

Jack Teague INTERN

UNC Charlotte’s newest fraternity on campus is Pi Kappa Phi (PKP).

The organization’s national headquarters are in Charlotte, the third-largest hub for PKP alumni in the country. They have 185 chapters across the country. At only three weeks old, the chapter already has 53 members.

Kevin Crooker, UNC Charlotte freshman and one of the fraternity’s founding fathers, said he joined the organization “because I had a chance to make this fraternity my own. They say you die twice: once when you breathe your last breath and the second time when someone says your name for the last time. In a fraternity, a founding father leaves a legacy.”

Senior Leadership Consultants Andrew Bell and James Maloney from the fraternity’s headquarters spent the last four weeks recruiting on campus.

“I think very often when you look

at Greek life on a campus you get a very particular idea of what it’s like.

For us, we’re really trying to find a group that doesn’t quite fit that mold, guys that have been looking for a place to call their own, looking for a home on campus. A group of people that are going to mutually support each other personal development, dedicated service and lifelong brotherhood,” said Bell.

Pi Kappa Phi is the only fraternity in the country that owns and operates their own philanthropy.

The Ability Experience works to raise money and awareness for the disabled. To date, it has raised more than $15 million for the disabled. “[Fraternity leaders felt] a lot of times [the disabled] were getting overlooked and people believed they were unable to do the same things as people without disabilities, so for us it was very important to go out there and volunteer and raise money for a cause that at this time is not curable.

It’s really just showing people that people with disabilities really can do everything that those without can, they just do it in a different way,” said Bell.

The largest philanthropic event the fraternity organizes is the annual Journey of Hope, for which 130 brothers bike across the country. It has already raised $559,073 this year alone. They stop every night for “friendship visits,” one-on-one experiences with disabled people.

“It’s awesome to be able to get that in-person experience of seeing the kids that you’re raising the money for and either putting on a prom for people that were never able to go, losing horribly in wheelchair basketball or just having an experience to show people what they can do and really bring awareness to all the abilities that they do have and not just focus on the disability,” said Bell.

The previous chapter on campus had their charter revoked in 2008.

“The level of brotherhood, service; those kind of things were just not up to par, so we removed the chapter so we could come back when we chose.

We allowed those men to graduate and started over,” said Maloney.

Pi Kappa Phi’s motto is “Exceptional leaders, uncommon opportunities.”

“It’s a lot of how do we make exceptional leaders through the opportunities that we can give them, both through our philanthropy and, at this campus, the founding father experience. How does that shape them to become the best version of themselves and, as we say, to become exceptional,” said Bell.

Jim-of-all-trades Family man and Jack-of-all-trades Jim Kay left the theatre and uses his plethora of skills to keep the Student Union operations running smoothly

Eden Creamer

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Sunlight slowly starts to illuminate campus early Monday morning. Dew sprinkles the planters outside of the Student Union, and the light chill in the air fogs the big windows above the loading dock. Before campus wakes up from the long weekend slumber, Jim Kay is already at work prepping the Student Union for the week’s activities. Kay, the Facilities Maintenance supervisor and interim assistant director, does his job with a smile and a laugh, but never imagined he would be here. In the late 1980s, the talented actor and stage technician switched gears and moved his family to Statesville, N.C. from Florida to raise his children. Now he says he wouldn’t change a thing.

“If I didn’t like it, I wouldn’t be here. I think I made a difference. I like the people I work with,” said Kay, his clear blue eyes absorbing light as he looks out the terrace window on the Union’s third floor. “I’ve heard so many grumblings … when I first got here there were so many unhappy people working in the maintenance department. And I’m thinking, well OK, if you’re not happy with what you’re doing, find something that makes you happy … Life is not a dress rehearsal.”

Kay, 63, joined the UNC Charlotte family in 2005 as one of the original campus zone mechanics, and he has called the Student Union his primary work area since the building opened in 2009. Responsible for day-to-day building functions in the Student Union, he fixes anything that breaks and oversees the individual needs of the departments in the building, as well as dealing with purchasing and personnel issues that may arise within Facilities Management.

himself on juggling his different hats, and credits his background in the performing arts and his dedication to doing a job well to this success.

“I’m good at a lot of things,” he says. “You’ve heard that old saying ‘Jack of all trades’ … it also blends in with my philosophy that the more you know, the better employee you become. I’m adept at a lot of different things.”

Kay makes a lasting impression on his colleagues. Campus zone mechanics Greg Barnes, who has worked with Kay since 2005, describes him as a natural people person.

“He has a way of communicating with people of all classes of life,” said Barnes. “Likes to know what is going on in his bubble.”

Kay learned the skills that make him well-suited for his position as a zone mechanic backstage at the Coconut Grove Playhouse in Miami, Fla., working under two-time Academy Award winner José Ferrer. With Kay responsible for the entire technical program of the playhouse, the theatre gained national notoriety and became one of the nation’s leading theatres.

“I turned his whole technical program around to where we weren’t spending $100,000 a year, we were saving $200,000 and creating jobs and producing our own product,” Kay says. “And that was important. Important to me to be able to do that

for him, and important for the theatre because we were funded by the taxpayers of Florida.”

Working backstage was a trial and error process for Kay, who originally wanted to work on stage, hoping to emulate Laurence Olivier, an English actor and director who is largely considered one of the greatest actors of the 20th century. Kay says fate led him on the path he was meant to travel, explaining how he decided to motorcycle cross country from Florida to Los Angeles after graduating high school.

“To the day, I do believe I spent a day and a half, almost two days, riding alongside John Lennon. True story,” Kay says with a smile as he stroked his bald head, a habit left over from his days with quintessential 1970s hair. In 1970, Kay left Florida and was pulled over in Little Rock, Ark., trapped in a rainstorm when a man riding a motorcycle with an English license plate pulled over. “The dude took his helmet off and I swear to God I did a double take. To me, the man was John Lennon.”

After this run-in, Kay spent two winters in Nebraska after his engine blew up in Kansas, performing odd jobs and accumulating skills that would help him later in life. When his father died in 1972, Kay returned to Florida to be with his family and went back to school at the University of West Florida. It was here that he met his wife, Jan, with whom he celebrated 35 years of marriage in August.

“As I got older and grew out of the precocious teen years or whatever, I learned there was more to acting than just being able to be the best in your class. I take rejection OK, but it got to the point in my life where that particular skill set needed to pay for itself and it wasn’t doing that,” says Kay as he strokes the gold band on his finger.

After leaving the stage and discovering his skills behind the sceens as a technician, he has worked in educational theatre, union theatre and professional theatre, serving as a member of Actor’s Equity and the Screen Actor’s Guild. Kay’s budding family became the motivation to leave Miami, Jan not wanting to raise their two daughters in south Florida, though he had not originally intended to leave the theatre behind entirely.

“Two days before I left Miami, my car was broken into and I lost 15 years of history in my work,” he said. “As an actor, you can list the roles you play and have somebody cast you according to type and experience. As a technician they want to see a visual history. And that was all gone. I had no visual history of any of the productions I had built, designed, co-designed or been a part of. All the record of that was gone, I had nothing to show.

You talk a good talk, but where’s the walk? And the walk is in the visual history.”

Kay took this as a sign to change careers. In the end, he said, that field wasn’t conducive to raising his family, and his wife and daughters had become his first priority. He started planning how to support himself and his family in their later years. He is proud of his daughters, whom he says have both used their intelligence and determination to get far in life thus far. Jenessa, 29, and Chelsea, 24, both credit their successes to their father, however.

“My dad was and still is very outspoken and definitely not afraid to go against the grain,” said Chelsea, a student at Presidio of Monterey, the United States Defense Department’s foreign language institute. “I believe I inherited that part of him. They always called me ‘Little Jimbo,’ and yes, emulating my dad has gotten me in trouble sometimes, but I wouldn’t want to be like anyone else. I learned to welcome challenges from him and face them head on.”

“We had a saying in our family that ‘Kays don’t say can’t,’” said Jenessa, who just completed her M.S. in Marine Ecology at Louisiana State University. “His love for the ocean and respect for nature is one of the reasons I am a marine biologist now … We would get up and go fishing before the sun rose, just the two of us, and sometimes we would hardly speak, but I think the appreciation of those moments was always understood.”

While he has his eyes on retirement and plans for the future for he and Jan, Kay isn’t done doing what makes him happy yet. He still has time, he says, and he intends to make every moment count.

“There are very few opportunities that we get second chances to do the things that we love to do,

or like to do, or even to have a second chance at just getting by,” Kay said with a smile. “I’ve been very happy with my life so far. Yeah, I’ve not done everything that I’ve wanted to, but then again, it ain’t over yet. I’m still riding. And I plan to keep on doing it.”

Fear of Ebola grows with the death of first U.S. patient Louis Aiello

STAFF WRITER The death of Thomas Eric Duncan is indeed a tragedy, and it’s something for all of us to be concerned about. On Sept. 24, the 42-year went to an emergency room in Dallas due to a severe headache and fever. Just before examining Duncan, the doctors exited a meeting regarding the precautions of Ebola and its diagnosis.

Duncan was not looking well, but when asked if he had been to West Africa recently, he lied. He was given antibiotics and told to come back if he didn’t feel any better. He went to his family member’s house, having no idea just how sick he was.

Already there was a great deal of exposure, and as he worsened, so did the probability that he would infect other family members. Two days later, he was rushed to the emergency room, where doctors eventually confirmed the very first case of Ebola in the United States.

His condition deteriorated and Oct. 8 he succumbed to the illness. The reason why Ebola is so concerning is that the chance of recovery for this strain is 33 percent – two out of three persons infected by the virus will die.

Ebola is the name of a river that runs through the dense, beautiful wilderness of the Congo and Zaire region.

Similar to HIV, the Ebola virus is said to have originated from this location, and the only way the virus

can spread is through blood and bodily fluids.

Ebola is in the family of the hemorrhagic fevers, known by virologists as the filovirus. Under a microscope, they look a great deal like worms. Composed of only seven proteins, they are very primeval and have been hiding in this region for longer than we could ever know.

Each of the filoviruses is named after the location where they were first discovered: Zaire ebolavirus in the rainforest region and Sudan

ebolavirus in the Sudanese region.

The most important thing to remember is that the current outbreak, which has broken all records of being the most serious hemorrhagic epidemic in the history of the world, isn’t of the Zaire strain.

Zaire ebolavirus has a fatality rate of 90 percent, meaning of every 100 infected, only 10 will recover. The current strain in the Zaire region isn’t like this. Instead, it takes on the form of the Sudan strain.

outbreak occurring in these United States is inevitable. Duncan’s death was tragic, but it won’t be the last.

There is a great probability that some of his family members will come down with the virus, as well.

This is a wake up call. There will be several more outbreaks and others will die. Twenty people may in the United States die by the end of this year due to this virus. But as we place many more resources into the situation, it will work itself out.

BEDLAM ON THE

BORDER America’s failed drug war and inefficient immigration policy are to blame for border crisis

Brittany Wilson

STAFF WRITER Desperate to become a legal citizen of the United States, 18-year-old Manuel Rodas spent all he had on a one-way bus ticket from St. Louis, Mo. to Charlotte, N.C. to appear in front of an immigration court and fulfill a lifelong dream to obtain what many of us take for granted – legal citizenship.

“This is not an uncommon case,” explained Charlotte immigration judge Theresa Holmes-Simmons, during her speaking engagement at UNC Charlotte last week.

As a member of the juvenile docket, Judge Holmes-Simmons handles youth immigration cases, like Rodas’s, on a daily basis.

Inevitably, her job became a little bit tougher following the recent influx of children pouring over the border and seeking asylum status.

Although the number of young immigrants peaked this June, children continue to penetrate our broken system in pursuit of freedom, equality, safety and better quality of life; thus, the fervent and angry debate of what should be done with these children continues.

This back and forth controversy about what to do with these children does not properly address the core of the immigration issue because it does not adequately account for why these children suddenly appeared at America’s doorstep.

If America wants to properly address the influx of asylum-seeking border children, we must first

11

address our own failed policies – especially our war on drugs.

It isn’t coincidental that the influx came almost exclusively from three of the most dangerous countries in the Western Hemisphere: El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras – all countries plagued by the black drug market, created by America’s unlawful war on drugs.

As Reason magazine states, “This trillion-dollar war puts the onus on Latin American countries to stop drugs from flowing into the U.S. – rather than on the U.S. to curb its own appetite.”

This failed effort has driven the drug trade into the precarious hands of dangerous drug cartels and has put uncountable families in danger.

These families, and their children in particular, turn to the land of the free and the home of the brave for a safer, more lawful place to live.

Ironically, it is this law that prevents individuals in search of a better life from claiming their citizenship.

Anti-immigration hardliners will blame the influx of minors on our unwillingness to deport those with illegal citizen status, but in reality, if less illegal immigration is the goal, we must first reform our current immigration policy to make it easier to become a citizen.

Obtaining citizenship isn’t as easy as it once was. Ellis Island, once flooding with budding new citizens, is now replete with exasperating processes of paperwork and waiting

– a lot of waiting. The average wait time to obtain citizenship in the United States is 25 years, according to Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, and that’s a generous number.

Depending on what country a person is immigrating from, their wait time will vary, and thanks to governmental limits on the number of immigrants annually accepted from each country, those coming from countries that are most negatively influenced by the war on drugs must wait the longest. Those seeking a safer alternative to their violent home don’t have the precious time to waste.

Humanity perpetually creates excuses to put admission limits on the number and type of immigrants, but I believe if left to it’s own devices, the free market will selfregulate and produce the most prosperous outcome, as it has in the past.

Immigrants are and always have been an asset to America. Each immigrant crossing our border has the opportunity to make a positive impact on American society, and research shows that they have.

The impact can be observed right here in Charlotte. According to an NC Policy Watch report, “Unauthorized immigrants in North Carolina . . . paid $317.7 million in state and local taxes in 2010. These taxes, vital sources of revenue for the state of NC, include state income taxes, property taxes (even if they

OCT. 14 - OCT. 20, 2014

rent) and sales taxes. In spite of the fact that they lack legal status, these immigrants – and their family members – are adding significant value to the NC economy; not only as taxpayers, but as workers, consumers and entrepreneurs as well.”

American society must look introspectively at the animosity we place on immigrants. As much as we sometimes disregard it, we are a nation founded on immigration, and we should celebrate it rather than restrict it.

Engraved at the base of the Statue of Liberty, which has stood tall for over a century and greeted hopeful immigrants that fueled our nation, are these words: “Give me your tired your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free… I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

Perhaps Lady Liberty would frown upon America’s current immigration system. For more than 100 years, America was a true beacon of productivity and freedom, due in large part to open immigration free of restriction.

Today, with our borders crimeridden and our policies overreaching, it’s clear that we must move towards a more limited government that depends on regulation guided by the natural free market rather than the state, allowing all that want to pursue the American Dream to do so.

49ERS DROP A DOUBLE OVERTIME HEARTBREAKER AT THE CITADEL CHARLOTTE DROPS THEIR FOURTH STRAIGHT GAME AND FALLS TO 3-4 OVERALL AFTER THE 63-56 LOSS

Alex Passannante

SPORTS EDITOR Coming off of a three-game losing streak, the Charlotte 49ers wanted to come out against The Citadel this week and start strong. Unfortunately, they were unable to do that.

“You can’t give up 21 in the first quarter against a good team,” said 49ers head coach Brad Lambert post game.

“You’re always fighting uphill. Our guys — you’ve got to admire them.

They’re fighting all the way back, coming down to the last play in the game. I just tell them thanks for the grind. They just keep grinding.”

The first half went the Bulldogs’ way, with The Citadel’s lead getting as high as 18 points at 35-17 in the second quarter.

Running back Cam Johnson scored two touchdowns in the first quarter, and the Bulldogs picked apart the 49ers defense throughout the first and second quarter.

The 49ers defense allowed touchdowns on five of The Citadel’s first six possessions. Charlotte couldn’t figure out the triple-option offense as the Bulldogs marched up and down the field time and time again.

The bright spot of Charlotte’s first half came from Austin Duke, who scored on an 83-yard touchdown, which is the longest in Charlotte history.

By the end of the first half, The Citadel had 413 yards, and Charlotte had 309.

Lambert must have gotten into his players at halftime, because the 49ers came out strong and their defense played better than they had all game.

With Johnson and the offense rolling, The Citadel had a tough time scoring and stopping the 49ers offense.

Field goals from Brewer and constant stops for the defense lead Charlotte back to a deficit of 35-31 at the end of the third quarter.

The fourth quarter is when things got interesting.

Charlotte trailed 42-31 early in the final quarter of regulation, but tied the game up 42-42 when Johnson threw a seven yard touchdown to Duke, who made a great catch in the back corner of the end zone.

The 49ers needed a two-point conversion to tie the game, and drew up one of the most interesting play calls of the year.

Johnson hiked the ball, handed it off to Kalif Phillips who pitched it to Duke, who threw a touchdown to fellow receiver Dmarjai Devine. The drama wouldn’t end there.

The Citadel came back strongly with big plays from their offense, making Charlotte call their first timeout of the half. They drove down the field and took the lead, 49-42, on a Tyler Renew punch-in. The 49ers got the ball back with two minutes to go.

Within 25 seconds, Johnson found Duke for a 70 yard touchdown, tying the game up at 49-49.

The Citadel got the ball back with 1:49 on the clock and three timeouts.

The 49er defense held strong as they did all second half, and forced a punt with 36 seconds to go.

With 23 seconds left in regulation, the 49ers had the chance to pull ahead. After an injury to Phillips,

they were unable to score. The 49ers found themselves in familiar territory: overtime.

The 49ers won the coin toss and chose to start with the ball. Without Phillips, true freshman Maetron Thomas took over the running back responsibilities.

On the first play of overtime, Johnson handed the ball off to Thomas, who went untouched for a 25-yard touchdown.

The Citadel took the ball at the 25 as well, needing a touchdown or else the game would end. Dalton Trevino rushed the ball to the three yard line, and Tyler Renew punched it in for the touchdown, his second of the game.

In the start of the second overtime, it only took two plays for the Bull-

dogs to score. Miller connected with Brandon Eakins for the touchdown, putting all of the pressure on the 49ers.

Charlotte started with two unsuccessful runs, and finally got a first down with a throw from Johnson to Trent Bostick.

A Thomas run got them to the six yard line on fourth and goal and a pass interference call got the 49ers another first down.

Charlotte faced a fourth and goal situation with the game on the line but Johnson’s pass to Devine in the end zone was knocked free to end the game 63-56 in double overtime.

“Every loss wears, but when it’s close I think it takes a little more from you,” said 49ers cornerback Tank Norman after the game.

CITADEL, cont.

The offensive numbers for both sides were almost unbelievable.

Charlotte posted a school-record 679 yards of total offense and still got out-gained by The Citadel who racked up 689 yards. The Bulldogs put up a staggering 553 rushing yards on the afternoon with their non-stop triple option attack.

Johnson finished the day 22 of 43 while throwing for a career-high 358 yards to go along with four touchdown passes. More importantly though, Johnson didn’t throw an interception all afternoon in what was definitely his best performance of the season.

Phillips and Thomas both eclipsed 100 yards rushing in the contest.

Phillips carried the ball 22 times and racked up 164 yards and a touchdown. Not to be outdone, Thomas posted 106 yards and a rushing touchdown all on just 12 carries.

The most impressive individual performance of the day and of the season came from Duke.

Duke pulled down 12 catches for a school-record 254 yards and caught three touchdown passes.

He also added a 15-yard rushing touchdown on an end-around early in the game and had two more sure touchdowns fall through his hands in the first half.

Duke now has 56 catches this season, 38 more than Charlotte’s second leading receiver Trent Bostick.

Duke has 966 receiving yards already this season, and he has caught eight touchdown passes. Six of those eight touchdown grabs have gone for at least 60 yards.

This gives the 49ers their fourth straight loss heading into their bye week. Charlotte has lost all four games by one score or less, and two of their losses this season have come in overtime.

Lambert has insisted that the 49ers learn how to close out close games in crunch time but Charlotte hasn’t been able to find that winning formula just yet.

The 49ers return home for their homecoming game on Oct. 25 against James Madison at noon.

Charlotte suffered a 34-7 defeat against the Dukes on the road last season.

VOLLEYBALL GETS SHUT OUT IN DIG PINK MATCH Alex Passannante

The Charlotte 49ers are among the top programs in the nation when it comes to raising money and awareness for breast cancer, and this year’s Dig Pink match was no different. Despite the score, the turnout and atmosphere were the best of the year so far, with 1,231 coming out to support the team at Halton Arena.

Coach Gokhan Yilmaz talked about the Dig Pink match, saying it was one of the few highlights of the night.

“It’s a big tradition in Charlotte. It was really good to see this many people coming out,” said Yilmaz With Michelle Hovey, Semen Sen and Sarah McDonald sitting out the game, Charlotte had to turn to less experienced freshman in Marshae Bradbury and Michaela White.

In the first set, Florida Inter-

national University came out with a lot of power and forced coach Yilmaz to call two early timeouts. With the 49ers down 12-5, the Panthers didn’t let their foot off the pedal. Abreia Epps was the stand-out player, having multiple big hits and trying her best to keep the 49ers in it. Charlotte made a late run and got as close as 24-21, but couldn’t complete the comeback and lost 25-21.

The second set started exactly the same with Charlotte coming out slow, and FIU definitely took advantage. Yilmaz called a timeout while down 13-7, and his team responded nicely making a comeback. The 49ers cut the deficit to 15-12 after FIU’s first timeout of the match, but never could obtain the lead. In an error-stricken set, Charlotte was never able pull ahead, losing 25-20.

OCT. 14 - OCT. 20, 2014

The third set was the same story, as Charlotte struggled early and attempted to come back throughout the set. FIU head coach Rita Buck-Crockett called a timeout when the team was up 12-11 and her team didn’t look back, scoring points feverishly and capitalizing off of constant 49ers errors. The Panthers swept the 49ers with a third set victory of 25-17.

Yilmaz acknowledged his team’s poor play and said they need to start playing better.

“We came out too flat. We lost the service battle. FIU played much better than they’ve been playing, so good job on their side,” said Yilmaz.

The 49ers return to Halton Arena on Sunday, Oct. 12 when they host Florida Atlantic.

49ERS GOING FOR GOLD The Charlotte 49ers men’s soccer team is ranked number seven in the country with a 10-1 overall record

SPORTS EDITOR In 2011, the Charlotte 49ers men’s soccer team found themselves 90 minutes away from a national championship.

The 49ers came up short in a heartbreaking 1-0 defeat at the hands of the North Carolina Tar Heels.

Fast forward to 2014 and the team looks entirely different but oddly similar at the same time.

Believe it or not, this year’s version of Charlotte soccer looks as good, if not better than the national championship runner-up from three years ago.

14

Former head coach Jeremy Gunn bolted for Stanford just days after losing the championship game, but the 49ers haven’t missed a beat under the leadership of Kevin Langan.

Langan has guided Charlotte to NCAA tournament appearances in each of his first two seasons, while also delivering a Conference USA tournament title in 2013.

Despite Langan’s success in previous years, his coaching job thus far in 2014 is hands down the most impressive.

Many thought the 49ers would be

in a bit of a rebuilding mode after losing seven key players off of their 2013 roster.

It would be reasonable to expect the 49ers to take a step back this season after losing all that talent, but unbelievably they appear to have taken several steps forward. Langan and his team comprised of mostly underclassmen have taken the country by storm throughout the first two months of the 2014 season.

Charlotte currently boasts a 10-1 overall record and has yet to lose in conference play as they stand at 3-0 in C-USA match-ups.

The 49ers have rattled off a school-record nine consecutive victories and haven’t lost since way back on Sept. 5. That loss came in double overtime against a very good Coastal Carolina team that netted the game-winner with just seven seconds remaining in the second overtime period.

Since suffering their lone loss of the season, Charlotte has looked nearly unbeatable.

The 49ers have posted five shutouts during their current winning streak and have scored at least three goals in six of those nine contests.

Charlotte delivered a dominating 6-1 victory on the road against a Campbell team ranked in the top 25 nationally and then followed that with an even more impressive 2-0 victory over C-USA foe New Mexico who ranked in the top five.

This 49ers club can get it done on both sides of the ball. Defensively, Charlotte has allowed more than one goal just twice this season and still managed to win both those games nonetheless.

season as a starter and his back four consisting of Matej Dekovic, Biko Bradnock-Brennan, Nick Barnhorst and Luke Waechter keep him well protected. Dekovic was recently named the C-USA Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts.

The defense is impressive but Charlotte’s offense has been unstoppable and extremely fun to watch throughout their first 11 games.

The 49ers rank third nationally scoring at a clip of 2.60 goals per game. Charlotte netted six goals against Campbell, four in one half this past Saturday night against Florida International and three on four different occasions during their nine-game unbeaten streak.

Forward Kyle Parker leads the 49ers with six goals this season but everyone on this Charlotte roster is dangerous with the ball at their feet. Six players have scored at least three goals this season including true freshmen Harrison Steadman and Zhuvonte Wilson.

Charlotte started the season ranked 22nd in the preseason polls.

The 49ers have now climbed to number seven in the most recent release of the NSCAA Coaches Poll.

The 49ers have just six regular season games remaining before the C-USA tournament begins on Nov. 12 in Norfolk, Va. Charlotte is now just three wins away from matching the 2011 squad with 13 wins in the regular season.

“The guys now have been inspired by their peers who have done it before them. There are a lot of players in the program now who have the ability to be better than some of the greats in our history. They just have to put the work in like those players in the past.”

It is easy to get caught up in the stresses of school, work, internships and other responsibilities and forget to do nice things for yourself and others. Here are 10 simple things to do to brighten anyone’s day.

Sarah Ro INTERN

Put on some music and go for a short jog or a walk.

Opt out of that pizza for a healthier sandwich or stop by the Student Activities Center for an hour of exercise.

They have classes ranging from yoga to Zumba all just waiting for you to take advantage of.

When’s the last time you told them you’re thankful for all they do for you?

If you don’t remember, pick up the phone and let them know you’re thinking of them. Send your love.

Tell them something funny that happened to you during the last couple of days; make them laugh out loud.

At the end of class, go and tell your professor something new you learned in class and how it impacted you.

It’ll be a nice change, from seeing people dash out of class as soon as the opportunity is

given.

Everyone wants to feel like what they are doing matters.

And wash the dishes. Double the niceness.

You’ll be surprised at how many quick and easy recipes are out there on Pinterest and YouTube.

They will leave your company feeling happy and lucky that he or she has you. Plus, you get dinner, too!

If you usually head to Starbucks in the morning to grab a cup of coffee, offer to pay for the car behind you when you reach the window.

When the person behind you reaches the window to pay, they’ll be pleasantly surprised and thankful.

Meet up with a friend to give her a big hug and some words of encouragement and motivation.

All of us are going through personal struggles, small or big. A hug and warm-hearted words can be all a person needs to stay positive.

If you do a little research, you’ll find various volunteer opportunities in Charlotte.

There are homeless shelters, after school programs and more that are waiting for young, friendly, strong and creative college students like you.

Just get a small box, fill it with a letter and some of their favorite snacks. Then drop by the campus mail center to send it. It’s a great way to remind them distance won’t come between your bond.

FALL FASHION:

OUTERWEAR

The right coat is essential for fall and winter wardrobes, but finding the right one can be a total drag. Check out this guide to find the perfect one to fit your style.

The hunter green anorak

Sarah Ro INTERN

Marilyn Monroe said, “Give a girl the right pair of shoes and she’ll conquer the world.” I say a right coat can completely transform your look and take you places.

It’s easy to be overwhelmed by all

the different textures, shades and styles of coats when going to the mall. This guide is designed to take that stress away next time you set out to purchase a new coat for the upcoming season.

The classic trenchcoat Upon observation, windbreakers and light fleece jackets are the most popular outerwear of choice on campus and for good reason- you can throw it over anything and run out the door for those morning classes.

Instead of windbreakers in neon hues, how about opting for a more fall-appropriate hunter green anorak? It provides the same effortlessness while the hunter green shade perfectly complements maroon, gray, black and navy- all the colors we gravitate towards during fall.

Pair it with a pair of chocolate brown combat boots for the perfect combination.

The medium-washed denim jacket

This piece is perfect for the ladies on campus with part time jobs or internships on a more professional scale.

There’s something about entering the office with a properly fitted coat that gives off a mature vibe.

The trench-coat is expanding into various styles from belted to cropped. Belted ones flatter taller girls while petite girls should opt for cropped ones. *Pair the coat with a simple sweater, dark rinse jeans and tall riding boots for a sophisticated look.

16

Most of us put our light wash denim jackets to good use over the summer- pairing them over maxi-dresses and floral skirts.

Medium rinse denim jackets are the perfect transitional piece into the fall season.

It’s a versatile jacket that can easily be worn over crewnecks, hoodies and basic tees paired with your favorite pair of sneakers.

The denim jacket is a classic piece perfect for fans of the sporty and casual look.

The sweater jacket

Don’t want a jacket that will cover that cute outfit you have on?

You can layer T-shirts, collared shirts and blouses all under a sweater jacket and still be able to showcase your outfit.

Also, sweater jackets tend to be longer so they are the perfect outerwear piece for the girls that love to wear leggings.

The most versatile color for sweater jackets come in black and dark gray which look great paired with different textures such as lace, crotchet and leather.

However, printed ones ranging for Aztec print to striped are also on the rise.

With sweater jackets, you don’t have to sacrifice either of the two most important things during fall: style or staying warm.

On-campus gallery review: UNC Charlotte welcomes the porcelain pieces of artists Valerie Zimany and Daniel Bare to the Rowe Arts Gallery Salina Dickie

ASST. COPY EDITOR People encounter art in their lives every single day; everybody sees and thinks about art differently.

Many can agree that art is so much better in person, and I think all who see Valerie Zimany and Daniel Bare’s exhibit currently being displayed at the Rowe Arts Gallery can agree with that.

Their showcase has a very unique and distinctive style, and each piece is exceptionally intricate.

The biggest piece in the exhibit, “Evergreen: Vespiary,” was created by Zimany, Bare and UNC Charlotte students. Zimany and Bare have been doing these detailed porcelain slip works for about 10 years, and the work usually pertains to the city Zimany and Bare have traveled to.

“When we thought of Charlotte we made a connection with hornets, and we were fascinated with the idea of how hornets make their nests by grabbing materials in the same vicinity and using every possible resource to make their homes,” Bare explained.

The piece is extremely detailed and has the ability to tell its own story, and many of these materials were brought in by students.

It is difficult to make out when far away, but when taking a closer look at this piece, one is able to see the materials that make it up.

The piece is extremely modern, and shows many a different way of looking at these objects and the use of porcelain. It’s fascinating to see how random objects can create a network.

Along with “Evergreen: Vespiary,” Zimany and

Bare display individual works that are so different yet create a fantastic cohesion.

Bare’s works consist of many post-consumer products compiled together and then glazed over using porcelain. The pastels used in his pieces are beautiful and his work is refreshingly contemporary.

Zimany uses porcelain to layer her work with different elements to make these pieces elaborate.

She describes her style as trying to create themes of nostalgia from her past visits to Japan and the use of retro prints and colors from her childhood.

Her work is very fascinating, and every element falls into place perfectly.

Zimany and Bare’s exhibit is being displayed until Oct. 29.

Zimany and Bare’s “Evergreen: Vespiary” exhibit is on display in the lower level of the Rowe Art Gallery through Oct. 29.

“The Equalizer” has a unique beauty about it Hunter Heilman

STAFF WRITER I don’t really like Antoine Fuqua’s movies; save for “Training Day,” they’re all pretty much the same to me. “Shooter,” “Brooklyn’s Finest,” “Olympus Has Fallen,” all provide the audience with the same vapid action pieces with graphic violence and minimal character development. “The Equalizer” could be seen as a cheap stunt by Fuqua to regain his “Training Day” glory, but it’s simply an irrefutable fact that Denzel Washington completes Fuqua perfectly.

Don’t misinterpret that “The Equalizer” is not a perfect movie, but for what is presented and expected from it, it’s easily the best film of this kind since “Training Day.” Washington brings all he has to his character of Robert McCall, an ex-CIA agent suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and emptiness in his life. When one of his only friends, a teenage prostitute he befriended at a diner (played by an always wonderful Chloë Grace Moretz), is beat savagely by her pimp, Robert hones his former skills to seek revenge on those responsible. Little does Robert know, he has began taking out the east coast hub of the Russian mafia, and the mafia isn’t happy about this.

Yeah, yeah, you’ve seen this all before, but with the performances from Washington, Moretz and Marton Csokas as the spectacularly demented mafia businessman, “The Equalizer” is solid entertainment.

19

There’s too many side-stories in the movie, and it could have easily been trimmed by half an hour, but the movie still works, despite these shortcomings. The film is also pretty predictable as well.

The film is also painstakingly slow in it’s second act, there’s way too many scenes that serve absolutely no purpose whatsoever and not enough substantial character building scenes. The second act really just translated to ‘Guys! Look how cool Denzel still is!’

Despite the fact it sounds like every other R-rated action film made in the last 10 years, “The Equalizer” has a style about it all it’s own. It’s darker and grittier than films of it’s kind, but ultimately more beautiful as well. A scene in the movie taking place under fire sprinklers in slow motion is especially beautiful to look at. (Beautiful enough that Sony made a still of it the film’s main poster.) The beauty of this film justifies why Sony decided to release the film in IMAX theaters as well.

“The Equalizer” isn’t an unique film, but it has a unique beauty that sets it apart from other action movies on the market. While it does stay within the range of the normal action film checklist (1.

Man with unique set of skills, check. 2. Someone close to him is hurt, check. 3. He kills in the most violent ways possible, check.), it has enough eye candy and great performances about it to justify a ticket to see it. (Might I suggest a matinee IMAX ticket?)
