U.S. Supreme Court examines violent video games After a decade-long battle regarding the potential harm of violent video games on young people, on Nov. 2 court justices in California heard arguments surrounding a California law requiring retailers to deny the sale of violent video games to individuals younger than 18.

Video game makers argue that the rating system currently in place provides sufficient information about the game’s content.

In opposition, the state believes it has a legal responsibility to shield children from such an influence when the game industry has failed to do so.

The law was first signed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2005, but was eliminated by a federal appeals court in San Francisco. An official ruling for the case is expected by next spring.

Hurricane Tomas sweeps through St. Lucia A Category 1 hurricane caused significant damage as it moved through the West Indies island of St. Lucia last weekend.

As of Nov. 2, the death toll attribute to the hurricane is 12.

Towns in the area were only reachable by sea while roads and bridges collapsed under strong winds.

Prime Minister Stephenson King issued a declaration of disaster. U.S. and French aid is anticipated to clear roads.

The storm is projected to reach Haiti and the Dominican Republic by the end of the week

Several injured by Baghdad bombs On Nov. 2, 16 bombs went off in the Iraq capital. Many exploded in public areas like restaurants and shops. After only an hour of blasts, 76 civilians were killed.

Explosions occurred in at least 10 neighborhoods and approximately 300 people were injured.

The violence causes question among the people of Iraq officials ability to protect the city.

Although no group claimed responsibility of the bombings, Shiite targets claim Sunni insurgents are the likely culprits.

Missing father’s body found in Arizona desert In Tucson, Ariz., on Nov. 1, the body of Andres Sanchez was found in a desert area.

The 40 year-old had been missing for 10 days and the family believed he had left by choice. The body was discovered with clear signs of trauma and after officers received new information regarding the case, they began a homicide investigation.

Sanchez’s daughter, Clarissa Andrea Sanchez, 16, and her boyfriend Larry Raymond, 19, were arrested and brought to the Pima County Jail where the investigation will continue.

New schedule throws coaches curve ball

By Hunter Bratton | Sports editor

Concerns of faculty, students and alumni were voiced strongly in recent trustee meetings over the future dynamic of our student body.

In light of the university’s decision to expand the size of the student body, the board of trustees set a 4,800-person maxium cap on undergraduate size to ensure the nature of the university origins.

Even so, with the entering class of 2014 being over 1,200 students, the university is changing.

The most obvious are difficulty that many students are currently incurring: scheduling classes.

Certainly, in the near future, alterations must be made to the academic schedule.

Currently, the hours between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. are “emphasized” when the schedule is made.

But with professors applying pressure to even the class times across the entire day, and entering students filling current classes to the brim, the Committee of Academic Planning is considering “deemphasizing” the midday

‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ discussed

By Renee Slawsky | News editor

A panel discussing the controversial “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy was held on Oct. 28 in the Mandelbaum Reading Room.

The panel consisted of three university professors including: Katy Harriger, professor of political science, Phillip Batten , adjunct professor of psychology and Patricia Willis, adjunct professor of Women’s and Gender Studies.

Serving as the panel’s moderator was Office of Multicultural Affairs director, Alta Mauro.

Harriger started the discussion off with a framework analysis of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy.

She provided the audience with a timeline of the presence of homosexuals in the military, starting in the 1940s when recruits were required to say whether they were gay or not.

She then moved on to the 1970s which she characterized as “a time when being gay became a more broadly discussed political issue.”

In 1982, the Department of Defense issued a statement saying that homosexuality was not “congruent” with military service, thus banning overt homosexuals from serving.

A decade later, President Clinton put a repeal of this policy into action.

The Department of Defense as well as several representatives in both the Senate and the House of Representatives opposed the repeal and thus the contentious and fought-over compromise known as “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” came into being.

affect class attendance, practice times, recruiting and cause us to spend unnecessary millions of dollars on additional facilities.”

Wellman worries that by deemphasizing classes taught between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, the university will unintentionally send student-athletics a shallow message: base one’s choice of major on class time offerings rather than on one’s passions and suspected interests.

PIT Shows Its ‘Green’ Side

By Caitlin Brooks | Production manager Frequenters of the Reynolda Fresh Food Company have undoubtedly noticed some overt changes to the primary dining facility in the last few years.

Gone are the Styrofoam togo containers and the trusty trays. Few at the university today even remember a time before tray-less dining was king.

Yet these absences are not the only strides that food service provider, ARAMARK, has made toward a more sustainable dining program.

N u merous changes, visible and unseen, are propelling the university toward a greener dining future.

Matt Lugo, director of marketing for the university’s branch of ARAMARK, heads up the company’s Green Thread Program at the university.

This local branch of the national corporate sustainability program, “allows us to strategically align ourselves with the goals of our

client and the university,” according to Lugo.

This strategic alignment is in keeping with one administrator’s perspective on the issue.

“The dining program has been more reactive than proactive when it comes to sustainability,” Director of Sustainability Dedee Delongpré Johnston said.

“And they are most responsive to their customers, the students.”

Through the Green Thread Program, ARAMARK has implemented far-reaching changes behind the scenes and in dining locations primarily with the goal of waste reduction.

“The national sustainability focus for the Green Thread Program is on reducing energy

right now, while a lot of their campus clients are working on carbon action plans,” Johnston said. “Our students are really focused on waste reduction initiatives at this point.”

The implementation of the mandatory re-usable to-go container program at the beginning of the fall 2010 semester eliminated all Styrofoam waste from the Fresh Food Company.

As a university, students, faculty and staff used and disposed of 7,000 St y r o f o a m c o n taine r s every w e e k prior to the switch to reusable containers.

Now students can exchange a small key-ring chip for a clean green plastic to- go container any time they want take-out.

When finished with the container, they

Wake Forest’s athletic department voiced its concerns on Oct. 29, saying to change course scheduling and examination times would undermine the ability of university student-athletes to represent the university well in the most competitive of academic and athletic settings.

“The proposed class schedule will place student-athletes at a disadvantage when choosing classes and majors,” Ron Wellman, athletic director, said.

Barbara Smith shares her knowledge of discrimination to a group of students, faculty and staff.

On Oct. 27, university faculty, staff and students welcomed Barbara Smith, African-American lesbian feminist.

Her visit was made possible by a number of sponsors including, the office of the Dean of the College, Women’s and Gender Studies, Winston-Salem State University and twelve other university organizations.

Smith is best known for her work to establish and sustain Black feminism in the U.S. while authoring literary works still widely circulated today.

Mary DeShazer, a professor of English and WGS, as well as an organizer of Smith’s visit, said, “Her major books — Home Girls: A Black Feminist Anthology, The Truth That Never Hurts and Yours in Struggle (co-written with Elly Bulkin and Minnie Bruce Pratt) —remain standard texts in women’s studies classes around the country more than twenty years after they were published.”

Smith has been involved in a variety of activism projects since the 1960s. Her work focuses on challenging sexism, racism and heterosexism while pursuing

justice for all oppressed groups. Smith was invited as the guest of honor to a luncheon held in acknowledgement of the university’s 20 years of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning (LGBTQ) awareness, outreach and support.

She participated in the dialogue and discussed her thoughts on the university’s progress and future in fostering a safe and accepting community for LGBTQ individuals. The event was hosted by Provost Jill Tiefenthaler and Dean Jacque Fetrow, while 30 members of administration, faculty, students and staff attended.

Exploring ways to promote sexual diversity were discussed and the ways to combat heterosexism on campus.

Since 1990 the university has created and promoted programs on campus such as the Gay-Straight Student Alliance, the “Safe Place” campaign and establishment of the LGBTQ Task Force.

The Task Force is currently working to develop a LGBTQ center like those found at Duke, Emory and N.C. State Universities.

William Hamilton: Russian

By Hilary Burns | Staff writer Russian professor, Billy Hamilton, was featured in the faculty profile in an issue of the OGB in 1988. Twenty-two years later, Hamilton has seen the university progress and change into an even more “elegant and polite” university.

Hamilton is from Cincinnati, Ohio, and attended Yale at the age of 17. His brother skipped his senior year of high school to attend Yale the same year for the convenience of commuting from Ohio to Connecticut with his older brother.

Hamilton majored in Russian at Yale because “they had divisionals there, too,” he said. He dreaded taking math courses and found an exception in fine print that said if he reached a fourth year in a foreign language he would not have to take a math course.

This fine print refurbished an interest in Russian initiated from collecting stamps as a young boy.

“Back in the ‘40s there wasn’t much else to do so most eightyear-old boys collected stamps,” Hamilton said. He read “backwards letters” on a stamp one day and had an epiphany. “I thought I would be rich because the letters were backwards and ever since then I wanted to learn that funny looking alphabet,” Hamilton said.

After graduating from Yale he decided to stay at Yale for graduate school, which he said was a mistake.

“I burned out, maybe I would have burned out anyways but women and music distracted me,” said Hamilton. He failed out of Yale in his second year of grad school.

After this experience Hamilton went to the draft board for the Vietnam War but his medical records of asthma prevented him from being drafted.

Hamilton decided to pursue his passion of bluegrass music for a year and played everything from the banjo, guitar, mandolin, and even sang.

“After a year of that lifestyle I wished I was back at school with people smarter than myself,” Hamilton said. He borrowed money and went back to Yale where he received his masters degree and his Ph.D. This experience allowed Hamilton to help students who were flunking out of school, which led to his career in administration.

“If I always had a perfect career, I wouldn’t have been as good of an adviser,” Hamilton said. Hamilton then married Cindy Hamilton who is a photographer and fourth grade teacher.

“I wanted to get a job in the south and Buffalo, N.Y., was the

Hamilton said since the ‘80s the university “has twice as many buildings and administration, wins twice as many games, and is even more beautiful.”

Hamilton believes students are doing more in a 24-hour period now than when he first started.

Students take less time to let information “sink in” because as soon as class is over students turn straight to their phones and focus on extracurricular activities.

Hamilton believes all students should take his advice to raise their hands more in class. He elaborated on this and said, “there is an absence of curiosity and a presence of fear in students today.”

In his free time Hamilton enjoys growing tobacco and piano tuning. He used to make violins, mandolins and chest sets as well — he said he enjoys odd hobbies.

Hamilton’s favorite hobby is birds. He has a gray African parrot he taught to say, “What’s a hen weigh?” making the perfect joke for visitors who enter his home.

Overall, Hamilton loves teaching at the university and believes students are nicer and more overcommitted than ten years ago.

To learn more of Hamilton’s vast knowledge of the university and Russian, he can be found smoking his pipe outside of Greene observing and enjoying the weather.

farthest South I was offered a position,” Hamilton said. Despite the immense amounts of snow, Hamilton enjoyed the people and atmosphere of Buffalo.

Hamilton moved to WinstonSalem in 1982.

“I was a dean in Buffalo and deans get bounced around, I came to Wake Forest and worked under Scales, Wilson and Mullen who were the ancient dinosaurs that brought Wake to where it is today,” Hamilton said.

These men inspired Hamilton as he was impressed with the university and its “slow, thorough, elegant” faculty — just the kind of people he wanted to work with.

Hamilton was the Associate Dean of the College from 1983 to 2009, when he became a full time Russian professor.

He is teaching four courses of Russian this semester and in the spring will be teaching a Linguistics 150 course. He enjoys teaching this introductory course because he can interact with students outside of Russian students.

Hamilton said this university is so different from SUNY Buffalo and it was a wonderful change.

“This was the most dignified and elegant place I had seen,” Hamilton said.

He was shocked by how much more polite and civilized the faculty was here.

Pit: Main campus dining option offers many “green” foods Continued from Page A1

simply drop it in one of three convenient locations and take another tag.

The dirty containers are collected and sterilized and then re-enter the system.

The elimination of individual condiment and napkin dispensers on each table has further reduced waste in the Fresh Food Company. Centrally located bulk condiment containers and napkin dispensers ensure that students take only what is needed and save countless bottles from the waste stream.

Another visible change for in-house dining arrived in the form of a new cleaning system.

The “Green Cleaning” program” reduces chemical usage by 65 percent. Students may have seen the glowing guns ARAMARK employees now use to clean tables at the Fresh Food Company.

These space-age-looking tools, called Ionators, use active ions to eliminate more than 99.9 percent of germs using tap water with no added chemicals.

This process is also used for floor cleaning in the major dining establishments.

By dramatically cutting chemical use in house, employees are exposed to fewer chemicals in smaller amounts which creates a safer work environment and a safer dining environment.

The Green Thread program has been even more active behind the scenes. The back-of-the-house recycling program ensures that all aluminum, number 1 and 2 plastics, glass and cardboard are recycled and collected to join the university’s recycling stream.

Additionally, all used cooking oil is converted into biofuel. ARAMARK also strives to serve fair trade coffee in Starbucks and in the Fresh Food Company.

The Office of Sustainability recently sponsored a unique waste reduction pilot on campus with the cooperation of campus dining.

The university was the first American institute of higher education to test out a Gaia Recycling Food Dehydrator and Mascerator.

Wi t h the help of the dehydrator, food waste from campus dining can be dried out and sterilized so that it can be stored and eventually incorporated into composting efforts on campus.

“Food waste is an important part of the waste stream, even when talking about greenhouse gas emissions,” Johnston said.

“Food waste turns into methane and methane is one of the most potent greenhouse gases, so it’s important to keep it out of the landfill.”

Food waste also contains valuable resources. The 1.2 tons of food prep waste created each day hold huge amounts of nitrogen, an essential element in plant fertilization. By dehydrating the waste and working it into a composting system, the dehydrator allows the university to close a waste stream. Though the pilot program was successful, funding for a scaled-up unit is still in the works.

The recent surge of publicity materials throughGraphic by Ken Meyer/Old Gold & Black out the Fresh Food Company attempts to educate diners about these very sustainability initiatives.

Keep an eye out for more great things to come.”

Johnston applauded the university’s branch of

the Green Thread program for the successful waste reduction initiatives, but would like to see equal focus on other aspects of sustainability that she considers just as essential, including sustainable food sourcing.

According to Lugo, the university’s branch of ARAMARK is committed to “developing a network of local farmers from which our vendors purchase seasonal produce and meats.”

“Our goal is to increase our local purchasing efforts by 5 percent each school year,” Lugo said Despite this expressed commitment, they often overlook some important factors according to Johnston. “(ARAMARK) is caught between students wanting the cheapest dining options possible and us asking them to integrate principles of sustainability into their purchasing decisions. Cheap food is often cheap because important costs are externalized,” she said.

ARAMARK operates with an eye toward the future of dining.

Through the Green Stakes Program, the company advertises its current sustainability goals that will be carried through all 500 and more higher education accounts that the company proudly holds.

“As sustainability continues to evolve on the Wake campus, I find myself involved more and more each day,” Lugo said.

University product rethinks light bulb

By Ansley Byers | Staff writer

Rachel Cameron/Old Gold & Black

A participant throws a Quidditch quaffle ball through a hoop at the InterVarsity Quaffle Toss booth at this year’s Harry Potter- themed Project Pumpkin.

Researchers at the Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials here at the university are changing the way we will think about one of the most common household items: the light bulb.

PureLux, Inc., is a company founded by researchers from the university in 2007 and is responsible for this new innovation.

Through this company, researchers have improved Edison’s great invention of the late 1870’s by developing a light source that does not generate heat, cannot be broken, can withstand punctures and is lightweight and flexible.

“Imagine that you no longer have to screw a light bulb into your lamp – because the lampshade is what lights up,” David Carroll, the lead researcher for PureLux, Inc., and director of the unversity’s Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials, said.

The light source works with the help of nano-materials in thin film devices.

According to the PureLux, Inc.’s website, “The devices are comprised of ultra-thin, flexible layers of electrodes, nano-material dielectrics and optimized phosphors.”

Through this state-of-the-art technology, researchers have been able to produce a light source that does not lose energy by generating heat, like an incandescent or even fluorescent bulb would.

The company’s product is therefore much more efficient at producing light and saving energy. This could have huge implications

on energy consumption levels for homes, offices, schools and other commercial buildings.

“If you have a lighting source that does not create heat as a byproduct and can illuminate a space as well as or better than any other solution, think about how much it can lower costs – and environmental impact – in every office building,” Carroll said.

The initial product will be a plug-compatible replacement for common fluorescent fixtures that not only reduces energy consumption but also produces light of improved color, warmth and appearance.

Other potential applications of the product include, “illuminated surfaces, retail displays, outdoor signs and military applications.”

According to PureLux Inc.’s website they are “actively pursuing commercialization opportunities in the marketplace with strategic partners” in hopes of making the product marketable to everyday consumers.

PureLux, Inc., hasn’t hired all the great researchers from the university though.

There have been incredible medical inventions made by researchers working just down the road at the Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center.

Keith Walter, an ophthalmologist, has developed a new surgical tool that will better enhance eye surgeries.

Walter came up with the idea after having performed hundreds of endothelial tissue transplants and his new tool, called the EndoSaver Corneal Endothelium Delivery Instrument, makes it easier to insert endothelial tissue into a patient’s cornea.

Policy: Three university professors give views on issue

Continued from Page A1

Harriger went on to outline the parameters of the policy. She mentioned that it basically meant “no talking about your sexual orientation, at all.”

She also included two other parts in addition to the “don’t ask” and “don’t tell” ones. These were “don’t pursue,” meaning some standards of evidence had to be met before an individual could be discharged from the military.

In other words, a decision cannot be made on rumor alone but no further investigation is allowed.

The fourth part that Harriger added was “don’t harass.”

Harriger spent the rest of her time on the significant political changes since the enactment of the policy. She highlighted that some polls conducted in 2010 supported the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” by the majority of Americans.

Furthermore, she went on to discuss the practical implications of the policy including an example of the firing of around 60 Farsi linguists, a rare commodity for the military, who were discharged based on their sexual orientation.

“Now, does that make any sense in the context of the wars?” she asked.

Her reference was to the two wars currently being waged in the Middle East and the military’s current problem of simply not signing enough recruits.

Harriger then fronted the next portion of her lecture with the question “where are we now?”

“The most sensible way is to have Congess repeal it, since they technically made it. Presidential executive law is the most undesirable of the choices,” Harriger said.

She then went into the many court cases and hearings which have contended this issue including Lawrences vs. Texas and Goldman vs. Weignburger as well as the violations of the first amendment and the due process clause that the policy is criminal of.

“I think that much depends on the midterm elections. The tide of public opinion has shifted a lot,” she said as she closed up her speech.

“The potential for change is there for the next few years.”

Next to speak was psychologist Phillip Batten. Batten, a former leader of the Wake Forest University Baptist church, focused his speech on the social ramifications (especially in a church setting) of being openly homosexual.

“The only time you hear the word ‘abomination’ is in church,” said Batton, in reference to the view many churches have towards homosexuals.

He also brought up the question of staying “in the closet” for the sake of social decency, which can then be applied to the military setting.

Batten told many anecdotes about members of the church who came out and were subsequently shunned, as well as the story of many church-goers who decided to cut ties with the Wake Forest Baptist church after they felt that the church had become “too liberal” for being accepting of gays as an overall statement.

Mainly, Batten discussed the inherent psychology of being homosexual and how society affects this.

“Being gay is a dimension of selfhood which is located firmly in the core of one’s being. Using the term ‘sexual preference’ makes it seem as if being gay or lesbian is like choosing to be vegetarian,” Batten said.

Overall, Batten’s argument focused on a theological and psychological “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy and how negative even those can be.

The last to speak was Patricia Willis, professor of Women’s and Gender Studies.

Her speech included a context of human rights laws and how “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was in violation of many of them.

She quoted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and how the policy of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” violated statutes such as “no one shall be subjugated to arbitrary interference into personal life” and “every person is allowed freedom of expression.”

“International law to which the U.S. is policy is party to is being abrogated by American domestic law,” Willis said.

Willis mainly argued that “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was not only in violation of American domestic rights but, also in violation of many international laws and should be repealed.

Ultimately, each three of the speakers came to the conclusion, while in very different ways, that the policy is unnecessary and should be eliminated.

Storm highlights weaknesses

U

nless you were in a prolonged coma last Wednesday, then you were witness to a genuinely apocalyptic storm.

Lot Q was submerged, sidewalks were seas, and students were buffeted by gail-force winds as they made their way across Mag Quad.

Forsyth County was under a tornado advisory until 8 a.m. the next day, yet students weren't notified of any emergency plans or advice. Granted, the storm wasn't as threatening as say, an armed individual on campus. Regardless, however, we questioned the university's level of preparedness for emergencies.

At the beginning of their freshman year, students have to submit their cell phone number on WIN, so that the university can

send emergency texts/alerts.

Yet, none of us received any notifications about the grave weather outside.

Further, many campus buildings were flooded during the huge storm, like Residence Life and Housing on the first floor of Benson.

Polo Hall was also flooded, and as a result, reeked of mildew and moisture for days.

While some say the storm might have been symbolic of the enormous workload of this semester (alright, that was lame), it certainly highlighted where the university needs to improve in terms of emergency preparedness, flooding and campus protection.

Until then, put your rainboots on! Next time, you'll be prepared for the torrential downpour.

How does Wake Forest stack up? | 2009-10 Number of movies filmed on campus

L

ast Thursday, hordes of cute little kids in adorable costumes — ranging from superheroes and princesses to Power Rangers and ghosts — arrived on campus to participate in one of the university's most beloved traditions: Project Pumpkin.

This year's theme, the Golden Pumpkin, revolved around Harry Potter.

Therefore, the decorations on the Quad were based on aspects of the novels. For example, certain Quad dorms were Hogwarts houses, like Gryffindor or Slytherin.

These decorations were truly impressive, but we think they could have been more spread out to make the Quad more cohesive in its decor.

Additionally, the varying levels of dedication to the booths had the unfortunate effect of making the event a touch tacky. There should be a more standardized level.

Some organizations truly put in a large amount of effort to make their games and activities engaging, while others reflected little to no work.

The event could also have been a little more organized, as many volunteers reported having to wait for large amounts of time to lead the children.

That being said, this was as usual, a wonderful event, which provided a fantastic experience for many kids who received free candy, played fun games, and had a blast.

urkey is one of the most important rising powers in the world today. It is a G20 country which stands on the crossroads of the East/West divide.

Turkey has clout both in the Muslim world and with the U.S. and Europe, as well as Israel — recent events aside.

But this role is less uniting East and West and more dividing Turkey.

Turkey’s direction in the nearish future should be a major focus of concern for policymakers in the West, as it drifting in other directions would deprive the West of an important ally.

But other questions remain, some for Turkey and some for the Western world.

of any kind of white person from a Christian civilization, it isn’t genuine liberalism.

Liberalism comes in many skin colors, from many places of origin and wears many kinds of hat — including the dreaded hijab. It is possible to be a Muslim, even a very devout one, and believe that the public space is for politics — not religion — and accept the right of diverse people to possess diverse views.

For the most part, liberals in the West have only had to be accepting with regard to different political views held by different white people.

The demographics are changing and the era of the liberal Muslim is now upon us and Turkey is on the vanguard.

This isn’t to say that acceptance of Turkey into the West, and more tangibly into the European Union, is not a major change to the culture of the West and that organization.

Pragmatically, Turkey has a lot to offer the European Union, unlike its archrival, Greece, the country is not perpetually on the edge of economic collapse and in need of bailout funds.

The Turkish GDP is roughly half that of France, the major figure blocking its entrance into the EU. Surely the organization would benefit from including such a powerhouse. Allowing Turkey into the EU would also force Western

liberals to take what they preach seriously.

As the world gets smaller, formerly far-flung peoples become more and more integrated and demographics in the West will inevitably shift.

Part of this shift will include the traditional populations of European nations needing to find room in their cultural identity for the diverse peoples who will play increasingly important rules in national life.

No country which has made it as far as Turkey in the EU entrance negotiations has ever been rejected, but we should not assume that Turkey will be content to wait out the mostly French-imposed delays indefinitely.

Unfortunately, the United States can do little in this area; the U.S. already supports the Turkish bid for entrance into the EU and heavy U.S. lobbying in EU affairs is likely to lead to rejection just to demonstrate European sovereignty.

If the EU continues to stall on the Turkish negotiations, recent overtures towards non-Western aligned states like Iran will probably become commonplace. Turkey is a Muslim nation, but it is not a Muslim state.

The West must recognize the difference if it wants to keep a valuable partner.

Off the Beaten Track | A Fresh Perspective

Obama’s goal for second half should be bipartisanship Jimmy Hornstein

B

Staff columnist

ack in the weeks before Obama was about to be elected, he was being compared to some of our country’s greatest Presidents. I, like many people around the nation, got caught up in these comparisons and the general excitement of having someone new in the White House.

Obama’s eloquence and charisma helped add to the general feeling of

optimism that permeated the air when he was sworn in.

The sense of positivity and optimism that was evident could be felt, despite the fact that the country was suffering through one of its worst economic downturns ever.

All of this is old news and, unfortunately for Obama two years into his term, so are the comparisons to FDR and Lincoln.

However, it is not too late for Obama to save his presidency from being dominated and overrun by critics and dilemmas.

In order to save his presidency Obama would be well served to heed the lessons and history of FDR, Lincoln and, for a more modern comparison, Bill Clinton.

With the GOP gaining a substantial amount of seats in the House and

Senate, Obama will need to actually Hill. Clinton was able to work make good on his initial promise of reasonably well with the Republicanbipartisanship which would be a nod controlled Congress. He was able to to his idol Lincoln who once made make several big strides during his a cabinet solely term as President, from his biggest even though his rivals. To be fair, Finally, Obama must try and extracurricular the previously activities left an capitalize on the charisma that stubborn GOP indelible stain on he brought to the table when he now has a hand his reputation. in the political I worry about first began. dealings and how well Obama must actually can replicate this be helpful and model because receptive to reasonable idea or be his political skill at negotiation is held culpable. not as sharp as the former Arkansas Although Obama foolishly wasted governor’s was and because he an incredible amount of political recently lost his hard line Chief capital early in his first two years, of Staff, who left D.C to pursue there is some hope that he could also another job duty in his hometown. channel a little bit of Bill Clinton Finally, Obama must try and into his future dealings on Capitol capitalize on the charisma that he

These were qualities of both FDR and JFK and they served them well as they tried to remain connected with the American public, while also trying to solve their huge political and economical problems. Obama needs to hit the campaign trail with the same zeal and energy he possessed when he first won over the American people.

Although I lack confidence in Obama’s political maneuvering behind the scenes with members of Congress, he has the enviable chance to end his first term positively and start living up to the potential he showed as a young upstart candidate.

When we lose the first game of the year, we won’t fret. But then we’ll lose another, and another, and before we know it, our season is over after five weeks without a win.

Why do we subjugate ourselves to such hardships?

The Panthers are not the only example of failed dreams and demoralized spirits. Just look at the Chicago Cubs or the Boston Red Sox (before 2004).

The Cubs haven’t won a World Series 5.75" in 102 years, and they haven’t even made a World Series appearance since 1945. The city of Cleveland seems incapable of producing a winning team. In 2004, they were dubbed the most tortured sports city in America.

Off-campus burglaries can be easily avoided

By Hunter Lostan | Contributing writer

Burglary: it’s one of those things that students always think just won’t happen to them, until it does.

Since September, there have been 23 reported cases of breaking-andentering, as well as 10 separate reports of larceny throughout the residential neighborhoods within a mile radius from campus, according to Winston-Salem crime data.

“When I first realized my house had been robbed, it was like I got punched in the stomach,” senior robbery victim Drew Chadwick said. Chadwick lives on Long Drive less than half a mile from campus.

“For days I just kept thinking about all the things I could have done differently.”

Chadwick and his housemates were robbed during the middle of the day while they were at class, losing a flat-screen television, laptop and digital camera, among other things.

The midday break-in is a common tactic of thieves who target college students’ houses, according to the Winston-Salem Police Department.

Often thieves will scout neighborhoods populated by students and learn their schedules, or wait until they see them leave for school.

Robert Vorsteg, a resident of the area, is not surprised by the target placed on student residents. Vorsteg has been a member of the University Neighborhood Association since 1998, a group put together to provide a way in which neighbors who live in the area can deal with any problems that may arise in the neighborhood.

The association, which extends roughly from Reynolda Road to Cherry Street, includes the residences of numerous college students who Vorsteg asserts make it easy for would-be criminals.

“Every year during the fall semester, students are moving into properties and new students living on

their own are careless, many don’t even lock their doors,” Vorsteg said.

“People look for properties they can get in and out of quick. Also, students tend to have expensive things which attract criminals.”

So, while every student who lives off campus does not need to send home their 50 inch flat screen, locking the front door will definitely help their chances of not getting robbed.

There are a number of steps students can take to play it safe and deter possible criminals and most of them are really simple.

Matt Silmser, a local homeowner and landlord of several college residences said the main thing students living off campus can do is “be smart.”

“Make sure your doors and windows are locked, you have curtains on your windows, and keep your eyes open,” Silmser said. “If you see anything fishy like a car or person who seems suspicious, report it.”

Another helpful tip Silmser suggested was that students should make friends with their neighbors so they can look out for each other.

For example, students who live next to other students could trade schedules so they can keep an eye on each other’s houses when one is at class.

Living on your own for the first time in a house is a big step for anyone.

Students need to respect not only the freedom, but the responsibility that comes with that choice.

Senior Sam Tolmei and all three of his roommates were home when their house on Brookwood Drive was broken into around 2 a.m.

The back door was unlocked.

“We never locked our doors; only two out of the four of us actually have a key to the house,” Tolmei said.

“After having our house get broken into though, things are definitely going to change. We’re getting an alarm system and definitely a key for all of us.”

Activist: Equality for all discussed Continued from Page A1

Smith’s visit to campus culminated at Scales Fine Arts Center where she delivered a lecture titled “Black Feminist Activism: My Next Chapter.”

While she discussed the birth of Black Feminist thought, ideas of intersectionality and recent examples of discrimination today, she was eager to express optimism and progress.

She intelligently and clearly articulated that the success of activism can be measured by the presence of groups like National Women of Color, SisterSong and Crunk Feminist Collective.

Her work in social justice continues today in Albany, N.Y. where she is a city council member in her second term.

Working in politics has allowed her to apply her knowledge of activism and group organizing to community organizing.

She finds her work with the Harlem Children Zone Model to be especially rewarding as it is a project to ensure a safe public school environment for students in cities prone to violence.

She is also a strong advocate of the Uniting American Families Act to grant gay partners immigration rights in the U.S. As for the current role of activism in society, she expressed the continued need

to examine and accept differences among people.

Her stories and messages delivered during the luncheon and lecture were evidence of the impact activism can have and its importance today.

“The WGS faculty wanted our outstanding students to meet this inspiring writer and movement leader, and we were thrilled that sponsors at WSSU felt the same way and were excited to collaborate on this important event,” DeShazer said.

Smith offered inspiration for university faculty and staff to continue efforts to bridge gaps created by sexism, racism and heterosexism.

Electric shuttles searching for riders on campus

By Jeffrey Turner | Contributing writer

It’s been quietly gliding around campus since last spring, but you might not have recognized what appears to be an oversized golf cart is actually the universtiy’s new solar-electric hybrid shuttle.

Officials hope that people start recognizing the environmentally friendly shuttle — and soon.

Introduced last April, the shuttle is a joint project of the university’s Office of Sustainability and Facilities and Campus Services.

It takes the place of gasoline-powered vans that once made continuous rounds on the Reynolda Campus during the daytime.

Two such vans, the Gold Line and Black Line, now exclusively run to off campus apartment complexes, while a third, the Gray Line, goes to off-campus locations during the day and serves the Reynolda Campus at night.

By having the solar-electric shuttle operating on campus, officials aim to reduce both vehicular traffic in the heart of campus and the university’s carbon footprint.

But the transition has been a bumpy one, with “So we’ve been targeting that and are working on students admitting that they aren’t quite sure what setting up a route so that, hopefully, the shuttle the shuttle is, or who it’s for. will become a part of people’s schedules.”

“I’ve seen it around campus but, for a long time, Assisting in that process is sustainability director I really didn’t know what it’s purpose was” said Dedee DeLongpré Johnston.

Jeremy Bourne, a senior, said.

“We have a survey out right now trying to “I actually thought it might be get a better understanding of for prospective students touring where people would like to “I actually thought it might be campus.” take the shuttle-to and from Others, like Olivia Milroy, for prospective students touring on campus,” Johnston said. noted the shuttle’s lack of a “That way we’ll know what campus.” concrete schedule. the demand is before we decide Jeremy Bourne “I was offered a ride to class on what the route looks like.”

But the benefits don’t stop there. Both Alty and Johnston point to financial savings and a more eco-friendly campus.

The former is easy to see: fuel costs for a gasolinepowered shuttle total close to $40,000 a year, Alty said. After an initial investment of about $18,000 to purchase the solar-electric shuttle, energy costs are almost nothing.

That’s because solar panels affixed to the top of the shuttle are able to partially charge the batteries during daylight hours. That keeps the shuttle from pulling much electricity when it’s plugged in at night. This, Johnston says, is a step in the right direction as the university continues its push to be more sustainable.

“By using energy from the sun, this shuttle uses less fossil fuel than gas or even electric cars,” Johnston said. “Making it a real win-win situation for all involved.”

Overall, while the electric shuttles are a great addition to campus, they are simply being overlooked by students due to a lack of advertising and exlpanation.

{ NATIONAL STAGE } World Series television rating reaches all-time low The San Francisco Giants’ five-game defeat of the Texas Rangers in this year’s World Series had an average television rating of 8.4, which ties the 2008 Tampa Bay-Philadelphia World Series as the lowest rating ever. Game four was watched by 15.5 million people compared to the 18.1 million people that watched the Sunday Night Football match-up between New Orleans and Pittsburgh, marking the first time an NFL game saw more viewers than a World Series game. ABC’s Dancing With The Stars had more viewers than Game five, in which the Giants won their first World Series since 1954. The series ratings were down 28 percent from last year’s series between the Yankees and Phillies, two of the league’s more popular teams. The numbers indicate an apparent decline in major-league baseball’s popularity brought on by numerous factors such as the steroid scandal.

Soccer hopes for strong rebound

By Laven Newsom | Staff writer

North Carolina 2 Wake Forest 0 The Lady Deacons ended their regular season last week with a hard fought loss to in-state rival North Carolina by a score of 2-0.

The game was the last regular season home game for four seniors as Amanda Barasha, B i a n c a D’Agostino, Victoria Logue Delbono and Casey Luckhurst are all set to graduate in the spring.

The four were honored before the game on an emotional senior night in front of a raucous crowd at Spry Stadium.

“I’m optimistic that Sunday wasn’t our last game at Spry,” Delbono said.

“Though we didn’t get the result we wanted, it was a memorable day.”

The Tar Heels were offensive from the beginning as freshman goalie Aubrey Bledsoe was forced to make an early diving save in the

third minute and continued to be tested throughout the match as she recorded four saves.

While the Deacon defense was able to stave off UNC for the first 18 minutes, the Tar Heels were able to find the back of the net in the 19th minute when a UNC forward ripped a shot into the back of the net.

However, the Wake defense would hold steady the rest of the first half as it was the Deacon offense that had the best chances as D’Agostino just missed heading the ball into an open goal in the 23rd minute. Neither team would score in the final 20 minutes of the first half and the game went into intermission with UNC up 1-0.

“We fought hard and matched them up really well in the first half, we even had better opportunities,” Delbono said.

The second half mirrored the first half almost identically as both defenses remained stout until a Tar Heel player buried a shot from 18 yards out to extend North Carolina’s lead to 2-0.

Wake had their chances as time dwindled down; however, it was ultimately not enough as UNC would earn the victory and shut out

{ DEAC OF THE WEEK }

Junior Anna Nosenko finished third overall in this past week’s ACC Championships in Boston. Nosenko finished first for the Deacons for the third consecutive meet, having been the top finisher in the Charlotte Invitational and the Panorama Farms InviaNosenko tional. Her time of 20:10.6 was her best 6K finish this season and was only six seconds behind the top finisher in the meet. Nosenko also received AllAtlatic Coact Conference honors for the first time in her career.

Maryland outplayed, outperformed and dominated the Deacons en route to a 62-14 victory Oct. 30 at Byrd Stadium in College Park, Md. The loss places the Deacs at 2-6 overall, only 1-4 in conference play.

The Terps move to 6-2 overall, 3-1 in the ACC. Wake Forest has lost six straight games for the first time under Head Coach Jim Grobe.

“Even going back into my peewee football days, I’ve always been on a winning team, and I’ve always luckily been surrounded by a lot of good players,” r e d s h i r t freshman wide receiver Michael Campanaro said.

“In high Williams school, of course, I had a lot of success as well. I’m not used to this much losing, but it’s a great

learning experience for me as well as a lot of the guys on the team. I think we’re learning a lot from this year.”

Sophomore wide receiver Chris Givens became the 29th player in Wake Forest history to record 1,000 career receiving yards in this week’s contest.

Following his three receptions in the game, for a total of six yards, he has 68 career catches for exactly 1,000 yards.

Additionally, freshman Terence Davis caught his first career touchdown pass in the game against Maryland.

Lebron James draws unnecessary criticism

By Matt Poppe | Staff writer

“What should I do? Should I be who you want me to be?” These are the famous closing words in Lebron James’ most recent Nike commercial simply titled, “Rise.” This was just one of the many events that has occurred in the recent roller coaster life of “King James,” including his recent admittance that he would have handled his summer move to Miami differently.

Despite all the criticism and the harsh statements, I think James is taking steps in the right direction ... off the court that is.

Things got “heated” on Oct. 26 for James, as it was both his regular season opener with the Miami Heat and also the debut of his new Nike commercial in which he addresses his critics.

PRESS BOX

FROM THE

players on the roster who have seen minutes for the Demon Deacons

Maryland Wake Forest

“This is probably the toughest season I’ve gone through here,” Grobe said.

“Back when we first started, the expectations were so low that anything we did was pretty good. Now our expectations are pretty high, so to go through this type of season has been really tough.”

Senior wide receiver Marshall Williams had his 100th reception in the game, finishing with five catches for a team-high 62 yards.

For his career, Williams now has 102 career catches for 1,459 yards, only the 22nd Demon Deacon to record 100 catches in a career.

For starters, the commercial definitely draws any sports fanatic’s attention with its overall message and many references that have caused a great deal of debate. A particularly memorable quote James makes is his declaration: “I am not a role model,” followed by, “Hi, Chuck.”

This reference is to a famous line by fellow Nike athlete Charles Barkley who was very outright in his denouncement of James’ decision to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The commercial goes on with a number of witty references as James rhetorically asks his audience for its opinion of what he should do, even quoting a line of poetry from Wake Forest faculty member Maya Angelou, “Still I Rise.”

For a 90 second ad, the commercial was very entertaining and wise.

By wise, I mean James was very clever in delivering the commercial, never really taking any serious

shots back at critics, but plainly stating his case that he really can’t please everyone.

Sure he let down thousands — if not millions — of people with his decision to go to Miami, especially those followers in Cleveland, but his aim is to win a championship, not to please the world.

Don’t get me wrong, I disagreed with his decision based on a loyalty standpoint, but let’s look at the facts. The man played seven seasons in Cleveland, (which is up there on one of the worst sports towns in America), and transformed a mediocre team at best, into a squad that had the best record in the NBA last season. Oh, and don’t forget he won two NBA MVP awards and was a six-time all-star, and basically gave people a reason to care about the Cleveland Cavaliers organization. Sure, almost no one will disagree that his public declaration of leaving

Faith Adams is unstoppable this season. In addition to her first-career hat trick against California, she leads the Wake Forest field hockey squad with eight goals and eight assists. When this dynamic midfield/forward isn’t delivering the team with an innumerable amount of offensive penalty corner opportunities, she is working equally hard in the classroom as a business and enterprise management major with a minor in Spanish.

Stacked with many high school accolades, including her role as captain of the Langley High School field hockey team, Adams also captained the U-19 Capital Pegasus and placed sixth in the 2007 National Field Hockey Futures Championship with Team Richmond. Now in her third year at Wake Forest, Adams has made her presence known at the Division I level with her selfless style of play, energy and dedication to the success of the squad.

The first time you picked up the field hockey stick, did you immediately love the game?

I guess I loved it because it was such a team sport. My sister had played in high school, so I didn’t play until I was in ninth grade and I had been phasing out of soccer. It was just a refreshing and new sport that was really fun and still team-oriented. After I started playing freshman year, that’s when I felt like it was something I wanted to continue in college.

What’s your locker game ritual?

Usually we get there half an hour earlier and people go to the training room or do whatever they need to do to prepare. We just play music

really loudly and dance around together to get pumped up. It’s a really light and fun atmosphere before the game.

we almost did that game, but I think that we have the talent. And now that they’re Number 1, it would be great to upset them.

If practice was miraculously canceled one day, how would you spend the rest of your day?

(Laughs to herself ) I would probably do my work, and if I had time, either take a nap or hang out with friends.

Do you think that your offense is more successful on a fast-break or a penalty corner opportunity?

It kind of depends on the game, but mostly we’re a fast-breaking team. If we have space to break into, that’s when we’re most successful in the forward zone.

How would you describe the squad’s dynamic this year?

The team really loves each other, and it’s really cool seeing everyone just being friends from the freshmen to the seniors. Everyone is there for each other no matter what, and even though we haven’t had the best record, I think we have an awesome team dynamic with the fact that we all really care for each other and want to support each other.

What has been the highlight of your career thus far here at Wake Forest?

Freshman year we went to the NCAA National Championships Final Four and that was the coolest experience because you see how much your hard work has paid off. Even though we didn’t win, just being there and seeing how amazing it is to represent your school is incredible.

If you could have a rematch against one team this season, who would it be and why?

I want a rematch against Maryland because we lost to them 5-3 but held them the whole game.

I know that we would be able to beat them, and

Where do you see yourself in 10 years, and do you see field hockey in your future?

Good question. I’m not really sure what I want to do, but I definitely want to travel if it presents itself — maybe work abroad. I’m just going to be looking for a job or somewhere to travel. I don’t think I want to pursue the National Field Hockey team. It’s been awesome playing here, but I don’t see myself continuing field hockey after college.

Do you have a bucket list of things that you hope to complete during your upcoming senior year?

Definitely excited for senior season, and I know we can do really well next year, so hopefully we can make it to the Final Four and the Championships again. Also, it will be nice to relax and have fun during senior spring.

What’s the hardest part about being a studentathlete here at Wake?

I think the hardest part is just trying to get all of your work done on time. You have to learn

time management your freshman year; but once you learn it, then it’s pretty easy from there. You just have those weeks that are always harder, so it’s just being on top of things so that you’re not too far behind.

How are you feeling about the ACC Championship?

I think our team has the potential to make it all the way. We have a really strong team dynamic when we put it all together, but we just need to score basically. We have the tools, but we just need to have the momentum going our way rather than trying to climb out of a hole, which is always tough. I think we can go all the way — and we know we can — and we’re just going to try our best.

Who has been the biggest role model in your life, whether it’s athletically, academically or personally?

My mom is definitely my biggest role model.

She is an amazing woman — she juggles so many things but she’s always so happy and wants to tell you how much she loves you. She really cares for the people around her. She’s really absurd, and I love her for that.

Do you or the team have a motto for the season?

Our team motto is mainly “Together Wake,” which is what we’ve been saying in the huddle for years. It just reminds us that we have to do it together and we have to support each other.

When we break from practices or games, we say that we’re together on and off the field.

Cross country team turns in a solid run

By Maggie Cancelosi | Staff writer

Anna Nosenko 3rd Greg Billington 26th The Wake Forest cross country team competed in the 2010 ACC Championships in Boston, placing sixth for the men’s division and seventh in the women’s division on Oct. 30.

Senior Greg Billington executed another strong performance as the first Deacon to cross the finish line with a time of 24.32.9 that earned him 26th place overall in the 8000 meter run. Fellow senior Tom Divinnie finished at 36th place with 24:51.6.

Redshirt freshman Devin Huizenga followed up at 25:08.6 and 45th overall, while sophomores Garret Drogosh and Nate Guthals finished at spots 62 and 63 with times 25:34.5 and 25:36.7 respectively.

“Throughout my career, I’ve become pretty jaded to Huizenga the jitters that come with an upcoming race, whether that’s good or bad I don’t know,” Huizenga said.

“The day of the race I looked around and saw some of the other teams in the top half of the ACC, and I knew it was a step up; I saw some of the other teams that we would be fighting with for the number six spot, and just thought ‘All right V-Tech and Georgia Tech, let’s go, let’s race,’ but that was really the end of it. Most of the nerves I get rush up right when the warm-ups come off and it’s time to step to the line.”

In his second meet of the season, senior Marcus Dillon placed 69th at 25:43.8, followed by teammates

sophomore Tom Finneran with 25:52.2 and junior Paul Loesser in 26.12.0.

The Wake Forest men totaled 209 points and averaged a time of 25.09.0.

“As for the goals for the rest of the season, we are really trying to finish strong at the NCAA Southeast regional meet, and seeing how we stack up with the other teams in the region” Huizenga said.

For the women, junior Anna Nosenko completed the 6000 meter run at her personal best 20:10.6 grabbing 3rd place overall and earning All-ACC honors.

Nosenko was the first Deacon to cross the finish line for the third consecutive meet.

Freshman teammate Nicole Irving also had a season-best time of 21:12.5 and placed 27th while sophomore Allison Homer grabbed 39th place at 21:33.7 “Overall, we had some good individual performances; Anna was particularly pleased with her race, but as a team I think that we are better than the race reflected,” Homer said.

“That being said, we were relatively happy with our placing, considering the fact that six of the teams in our conference are among the top in the nation. We’re looking forward to our next race at the Southeast Regionals.”

Senior Deacons Cate Beranato and Caitlin Crawford finished in 83rd and 84th place with respective times of 22.50.8 and 22:51.5.

Sophomore Casey Fowler finished in 86th place with 22:54.2, while freshmen teammates Melanie Powers and Lindsay completed the race with times of 23:20.3 and 23:55.6. The women collected 206 points with an average running time of 21:43.8.

The men’s and women’s squads will next appear in the NCAA Southeast Regionals in Louisville, Ky., on Saturday, Nov. 13.

Volleyball claims victory against ACC rival

By Hunter Bratton | Sports editor

Wake Forest Clemson

3 1

Over the past five years, the Demon Deacon volleyball team has continued to raise money for the fight against breast cancer by participating in the annual Susan G. Komen Dig for the Cure match in Reynolds Gym. The team recorded 62 digs in its match against Clemson, raising over $8,000 over the day and amassing more than $50,000 for their five-year total on Oct. 30.

With their 14th win on the season, the Deacons beat Clemson for the second time in the Jones 2010 season and earned their 7th ACC victory.

Juniors Kadija Fornah and Carlin Salmon were instrumental in the Deacon’s victory.

Fornah recorded a team-high 14 kills, and Salmon recorded a respectable 12 kills. Salmon had 15.5 points in the game, recorded five blocks and added

one block to the stat column. The Deacons were awarded the serve on what would be last set after unfortunate back-to-back hitting errors by the Tigers.

Sophomore Andrea Beck was credited with the winning strike after senior Lauren McIntyre squelched the Tigers’ final rally and junior Cambrey Oehler set up a free ball off a strong serve.

The Deacons won the fourth set 2624 and the match 3-1.

The Wake squad was also greatly advantaged by the experienced play of seniors Kelsey Jones and McIntyre. Jones contributed to the team effort with a double-double, and McIntyre added seven kills, recorded a .46 hitting percentage and contributed five blocks to the team totals.

With six digs in the next volleyball game, Jones will record 1,000 digs in her career and become the eighth Deacon to reach the milestone since the university began playing volleyball.

Things went well for the Deacons in set one, never trailing the Tigers after an initial six-point lead. Salmon, McIntyre and Fornah combined to block the last volley, winning the first set 25-20.

In the second set, the Clemson Tigers took their first lead of the match going up one at 16-15. Yet again, the Deacons fought hard, never falling behind

by more than two points, and finally won the set off an ace hit by Fornah and a hitting error by Clemson sophomore Serenet Yaz. The Tigers were able to take an 11-point lead in the third set and valiantly attempted to come back from the initial 2-0 set lead by the Deacons, but even with a third-set win, the Lady Deacons proved to be too athletic for the Tigers. Despite a five-point lead in the fourth set, the Tigers were unable to stop a 11-4 run by the Deacons and lost the match.

The Deacon volleyball team will next go on the road to play its ACC rival N.C. State at 7.30 p.m. on Nov. 4.

The Deacons are currently in a fourway tie for fourth place in the ACC, and a win against the Wolfpack, which is struggling to find conference wins this season with a 3-10 ACC record, would do much to improve their conference standing.

N.C. State is only one game above .500, and the Deacons will look to bring a win home from Raleigh before playing the top-ranked North Carolina team in Reynolds Gym on Nov. 5.

The home game is also scheduled for 7.30 p.m.

A win against the Tar Heels could launch the Deacons into first place in the ACC.

By Caroline Edgeton and Mat Payne Staff writers The sounds of synthesizers reverberated through the mountains this weekend at Asheville’s inaugural MoogFest, but the festival’s cultural impact is echoing throughout the international music community.

The three-day festival took place in five venues: Asheville Civic Center (ACC), Thomas Wolfe Auditorium (TWA), The Orange Peel, Stella Blue and the “Moogaplex” (this was actually in the Haywood Ballpark Complex).

MoogFest featured more than 60 bands — including big name acts such as MGMT, Big Boi and Thievery Corporation.

The festival attracted over 8,000 people per night (including a fair amount of WFU attendees) to Asheville for the weekend, Ashley Capps, CEO of the festival’s organizer AC Entertainment, said.

“The response to the event has been very strong; we certainly didn’t end up with every artist we wanted at the festival, but the beautiful thing is there so many things we wanted to do this year that we weren’t able to do and now we have all that in our back pocket,” Capps said.

Taking place on Halloween weekend, the bands played to an audience that re-

sembled a combination of zombie B-film extras and Phillip K. Dick style androids rolling on ecstasy, dancing to the roar of a deep bass.

With artists representing genres ranging from folk to synth pop to electro, the artists who took the stage in the name of the late synth pioneer Bob Moog, played to an audience resembling that of raging rave.

This year’s festival isn’t the first of its kind, building on the success of other MoogFests in the past; though, this year’s is the largest in the series. Prior MoogFests have primarily been held in New York where Moog was born, but organizers said that they always envisioned the festival happening in Asheville where Moog spent the latter half of his life.

With concerts beginning each night at 6 p.m., the afternoons were filled with workshops demonstrating how a variety of Moog instruments worked such as the Moogerfooger as well as exhibitions by members of the Bob Moog Foundation on the Theremin. Music related films were also screened including Bouncing Cats, and Moog.

“I hope that the festival really provides an education of Bob Moog,” Capps said.

“I want it to inspire creativity and encourage people to explore their own creative side – that would be a real success in my book.”

Noteworthy performances Because the lineup for MoogFest has been described as one of the best festival lineups of the year, it’s pretty difficult to point out which performances were better than others.

Big Boi was one of the opening performances on Friday, Oct. 29, and it definitely got the crowd moving. Though he was considered slightly “random” at the festival (mostly because the festival consisted of electronic and dubstep bands), his performance definitely didn’t disappoint. Playing a great collection of older OutKast songs as well as his new songs on his recent solo album, Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty, it was definitely an exciting, hype-worthy performance, to say the least.

RJD2 performed to a completely packed Orange Peel audience that made everyone say, “that was f***ing amazing,” by the end. Unfortunately, neither one of us were able to attend, but it was definitely considered one of the more popular performances over the course of the weekend.

School of Seven Bells, a great psychpop band that actually just lost one of their three members, somehow managed to play an extremely solid performance with their last minute addition.

The Milk of Human Kindness, Andorra and Swim. Amazing light show, tons of energy – this was no question one of many people’s personal favorites.

Thievery Corporation was absolutely stunning. The show itself was so fluid and not a single person could stop dancing. Playing favorites from albums The Cosmic Game, The Mirror Conspiracy and Radio Retaliation, the entire crowd was able to get adsorbed into the world sound that Thievery Corporation is so famously known for.

Massive Attack probably could not have made anyone happier. Oh my goodness, this band tore the house down with a dazzling display of an LED background with messages and images questioning where the human race is going.

With thundering guitars and bass, the entire show was full of non-stop jumping, dancing and screaming. Though the band is known for their music being slightly darker, one would not have guessed it based on their performance.

These are just a few personal highlights from what we gathered.

Overall, though, there were few complaints and mostly just a ton of happy people running around the crowded streets of Asheville. If you are looking for a great Halloween escape next year or just an amazing music festival to attend, go to MoogFest.

Intimate, high-energy concert impresses fan No one knows what a “passion pit” is (it sounds fun) but everyone knows the band. The recently-discovered electro-pop group, Passion Pit, has risen in popularity since the release of their first album Chunk of Change in 2007.

On a leg of their on-going “Campus Consciousness” tour, the high-energy and high-intensity band brought their music to Greensboro on the evening of Oct. 30 for a roaring Halloween concert, costumes and all.

The band traveled with two opening acts. The first was a 25-year-old female, skater-esque rapper named K.Flay. Her fast-paced rhymes and verses were comparable to Lil’ Wayne mixed with Kid Cudi with a dash of Nicki Minaj.

The second act was a band called Big Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears who put forth a more old-school blues rock sound. The main singer treated the costume-clad audience to pieces of candy which were thrown into the crowd with the sentiment “Trick or Treat, motherf***ers!”

Once the two exciting opening bands were through, the members of Passion Pit casually walked

head! Sleepyhead!” for what seemed like forever but was actually about four minutes. After a while, the crowd became more and more restless. Then finally, the band came back on stage and immediately jumped into their most popular and undoubtedly catchy song “Sleepyhead.”

The crowd jumped up and down in joy and reveled in the song. The only noticeable downside to this show was the venue. It was held in Greensboro Coliseum which was built for crowds numbering in the tens of thousands.

For this performance, the stage was placed in the middle of the floor and the only open spaces were the floor in front of the stage and then the first level of rows from the stage.

Even then, the floor wasn’t completely filled up and there was hardly a soul in the rows of seats. Thus, the show looked a little empty which detracted from the concert atmosphere.

Overall, the concert was a really great way to see the popular band up close and to see how their music is really made using the synthesizers and other instruments. It can be said that the excited group in the front of the stage became a pit of passion for the high-energy music that was being blasted through the speakers and they learned what a passion pit was.

Asian restaurant offers poor service but low prices Green.

I have such strong attachments to that color. The color is the crisp lawn of a backyard where my dog and I spent endless summers lounging without care.

The color is the fresh watermelon from my great grandfather’s garden. The color is the room in which I breathe after a 10 minute musical theater dance number; and the color is the green apple martini I used to toast my senior year midterm grades.

Therefore, when I entered Malay Chinese Restaurant this past weekend, I was drawn in by the warmth of its green walls and greenery.

Located in the Reynolda Manor Shopping Center, the tranquility of the stone water fall also reflected a green hue which hummed a melodic melody of welcome.

However, this feeling of welcome was quickly smashed by the restaurant’s understanding of customer service.

Event Review | Breast Cancer Fashion Show

Sorority women gather to embrace second base

Students sit down with OutKast rapper

Students stand in as models in the annual Breast Cancer Fashion Show held In Benson 401 on Nov. 1.

By Angela Weaver | Staff writer Panhellenic Council reached an amazing landmark on Monday, Nov. 1 in holding their 15th annual Breast Cancer Fashion Show in Benson University Center.

This event is supported every year by the university sororities and Panhellenic Council as a fundraiser for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation.

Not only is it a fun event that brings the women of Wake Forest together, it also serves as an awareness event that educates college women about breast cancer.

This year’s theme was “Lights, Camera, Cure” and the fashion show was not only entertaining but brought together many organizations on campus, not just the greek community.

Performances by Demon Divas, Innuendo, Plead the Fifth and ChiRho served as breaks in the fashion show and all were joys to watch and listen to.

The range of talent was spectacular and some groups, like the Demon Divas, showed extra support by dressing in pink.

The models volunteered from every sorority on campus and walked the runway with personality and life.

Some of the girls took modeling to a goofy level and it made the show that much more entertaining.

The designs of Monkee’s, Emma Graham Designs, Southern Frock and Lilly Pulitzer graced the runway on our beautiful Wake Forest women.

All of the designs were magnificent, some more casual than othersbut definitely all a part of the style seen on campus every day.

The highlight of the night was listening to the keynote speaker, Lisa Rhodes.

Lisa is a beautiful 12-year breast cancer survivor. Her talk was both inspiring and hopeful.

She spoke about her journey, about how having cancer and then consequently how surviving changed her life for the better.

“We all make plans,” she said, “but sometimes we are faced with surprises. Sometimes they are disappointing; sometimes they are a blessing.”

Lisa was first diagnosed with breast cancer weeks after giving birth to her first daughter.

She found a small lump during breast-feeding.

When she was given the news at the doctor’s office, she said, “I didn’t feel like it was me in the room. It was uncharted territory.”

Her cancer was deemed “aggressive” and she underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.

“Breast cancer survivors came out of the woodwork to help me,” she said of the process. “I didn’t want pity. This was my personal speed bump in life.”

The strength and determination in her voice was inspiring for everyone present.

Even through multiple rounds of chemotherapy and radiation treatments, she remained confident.

“I thought of the chemo as pacman” she said, “eating up all of those cancer cells, one by one.”

She even gathered her friends to her house to have a party to shave her head, so she didn’t have to go through losing it.

“I was twins with my newborn!” she laughed.

For a short time she lost her fertility, which to her, was the hardest part.

But fortunately, it came back and she was able to have a second daughter.

Her experience inspired her to give back.

She went on to volunteer for multiple cancer organizations, eventually becoming the president of the board for one.

She continues to contribute to efforts to find a cure and volunteers her time.

The event was a huge success.

Multiple tables were set up to raise money for the Susan G. Komen foundation, including a silent auction table.

All proceeds will be donated to the Foundation in an effort to find a cure for breast cancer.

Lisa Rhodes and women like her all over the country — and the world, suffer from breast cancer every day.

The fashion show and other entertainment were fun, but at the base of the event was a feeling of love and support.

Everyone present felt a need to be a part of something that affects so many women.

It is never too early to find a cure and as Lisa Rhodes said, “Life is too short to live in fear.”

Music Review | Media fusion

Unlikely collaborations surprise listeners

By Molly McCurdy | Contributing writer

The art of mixing media requires a delicate balance; it can lead to wild success or it can crash and burn. Fortunately, artists are becoming more creative, and this once subtle art is developing into a unique trend.

Finally straying from the amalgamation of occasional melodic undertones and random noises from bands such as Animal Collective, as well as from the ever popular mash-ups (those were so two years ago), musicians are getting crafty.

Instead of attempting to mesh together screeching sounds and haphazardly sprinkling sound clips throughout a song as had been done many times before, an experimental duo from New York City, who call themselves The Books, took sampling to a whole new level.

The Books consist of guitarist/vocalist Nick Zammuto and cellist Paul de Jong.

The two use various sound clips as well as their own musical skills to create what they call “sound collages.” This may seem no different from previous artists who have used sampling as a means of “enhancing” their music, but The Books not only insert clips, but mix, splice, and rearrange snippets to alter sentences and sounds, making them flow and, thus, creating music.

Some samples include: a young boy talking to his parents in an aquarium, old Black Panther recordings, and a stenographer speaking in Hebrew. These guys are inventive, to say the least, and their most recent album The Way Out is definitely worth a listen or two.

If we want to get really serious about this media fusion, how about taking a look at a collaboration between a musician and an author? Winston-Salem’s favorite piano rocker, Ben Folds, joined forces with English novelist Nick Hornby on his newest album Lonely Avenue.

Never heard of him? Hornby is best known for his books, as well as their corresponding screenplays (some adapted by Hornby himself ), About a Boy, High Fidelity, Fever Pitch, and more recently for his screenplay adaptation of Lynn Barber’s An Education. Hornby provided the lyrics for this album which is Ben Folds’ seventh full-length studio album.

Collaborations of this music/literary kind are usually disasters, but this one works for two reasons: One, Hornby’s lyrics are indicative of his novels, i.e. one sharp-witted phrase after another. Two, Ben Folds is, if nothing else, a master of transforming verbose narratives into catchy, pop-like songs that make you want to dance--this album is no different.

Actors turned musicians is a media mixing of the most cliché kind (with the exclusion of Belle and Sebastian’s new album Write About Love, featuring actress Carey Mulligan, which is a must-listen for B&S fans).

But what about comedians turned musicians? That’s right, Conan’s back.

For those of you who may be out of the loop, Conan O’Brien, former host of The Tonight Show, is returning to television on Nov. 8. After being ousted from his position as host, Conan’s following grew bigger than ever as he embarked on his “Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour” this past summer.

But in case you hadn’t heard, Conan also played Bonnaroo and teamed up with Jack White of the White Stripes, to record a live album released on White’s Third Man Records Label.

With this album, Conan and White managed to make sweet, sweet music while still showing off Conan’s talent as a comedic entertainer.

Playing songs from legendary rock and roll pioneer Eddie Cochran, as well as some blues from Tony Rice, Conan livened things up, as he often does, and was able to use music as a means of emerging from his “late night” depression funnier than ever.

Old Gold & Black Life

Students share advice on meeting the parents, friends

By Ken Meyer | Asst. news editor

One of the scariest moments of my life occurred as I stood in my girlfriend’s foyer waiting for her to come downstairs.

Her father, a relatively tall man, picked up a butcher’s knife in the kitchen and started sharpening it. He remained quiet, glaring and sharpening his knife for the entire five minutes I stood waiting.

This was our first meeting.

The subject of being introduced to your partner’s friends, parents or family — or introducing your partner in turn — is perhaps one of the more complicated pieces of the relationship game.

Everyone holds different goals.

Girls insist on sizing up their best friend’s new significant other, on accepting or rejecting.

Guys jump on the chance to tell the new partner embarrassing stories about their friend. Families and parents waver between protecting and shaming.

Media delights in instilling fear in the hearts of all those who desire to attempt this perilous feat.

In Meet the Parents, Greg broke his sister-in-law-tobe’s nose, lost a cat and set a wedding alter on fire.

In Stepbrothers, Dale suggests that his father’s girlfriend may choose to sleep with the “young calf ” over the “old bull.”

In Scrubs, Carla’s brother gives her fiancé Turk embarrassing wedding vows.

In The Office, Jim’s brothers berate Pam for her aspirations to become an artist, claiming it leads to poverty. The examples run endless.

In truth, the experience of meeting those your partner holds dear is usually not an altogether bloodcurdling experience.

Friends, parents and family desire above all else to get to know you as a person. They generally put

on a face of embarrassing or protecting in order to crack your outer shell, to see how you react on the spot, to initiate you into their circle of trust.

My best suggestion would be to try reveal your personality to them. Be sarcastic. Be funny. Be poetic. Be dramatic. Be existential. Embody those characteristics that your significant other pursued you for in the first place.

This is the person the family and friends are trying to get to know, the person that makes the one they care for tick.

On the other end of the game, try to dull the blow that your family and friends deal to your partner. Remind them to keep those embarrassing stories to themselves for a while.

Remind them that you have embarrassing stories about them as well.

Remind them that you do not want your significant other to run screaming from the house or restaurant.

In all probability, this suggestion will backfire and will make your friends or family less willing to cooperate. But it’s worth a try.

I never did become close with the father who sharpened his knife as he stared me down. He never even considered initiating me into a familial role — though he may have considered initiating my head into the business end of his cutlery.

But if that’s the worst that family or friends can deal, I am fairly certain that I can stand my ground. I hope.

The WAKEing Dead | By Cory Bullock

He Said

By Caroline Murray | Staff writer

You’ve had the nightmares — you walk into your boyfriend’s house, apprehensive and nervous as hell, only to have your fears confirmed when you learn his mother is a gossiping, judgmental headcase and his father makes Robert DeNiro look like Mother Theresa.

Guess what? You can breathe a little easier, because life isn’t a movie. Families and parents are not all tortuous, intolerant, out-to-getchya miscreants.

If your boyfriend takes you to meet his parents, family or friends, you are not going to be walking into a natural disaster. There is, however, something of a survival guide formula for such occasions. It’s not that this encounter is life-or-death, but it is a trial, and if you emerge victorious, you’re in the clear.

Prepare to be analyzed, judged, observed, scrutinized and everything in between, but this is to be expected.

Your boyfriend obviously cares enough about you and sees you as someone important enough to introduce to his family and friends. Yeah, this is kind of a big deal for guys since they are not particularly prone to opening up as frequently or as quickly as women are. A huge step has been taken regarding his commitment to you, so be aware of the significance that entails.

That being said, you shouldn’t expect to be best buddies with his friends and family, but their approval may make or break your relationship.

She Said

No one knows your man better than they do, so it is imperative that you understand the necessity of a good impression, at least.

Some essential do’s and do not’s? Don’t be afraid to be who you are; sounds simple, but this can be one of the hardest tasks to accomplish. It’s tempting to put on a show just to impress. But when it comes to your man, these close individuals in his life are like hawks. Your fakeness will be obvious.

There may be qualities and attributes that they don’t care for, but at least they’ll respect you for staying true to who you are.

Do be classy, polite and mature. You may wear ripped jeans and low-cut tops, but this is not how one should dress to impress. Show them that your meeting them matters, and you take it seriously.

Especially with parents, you want to be appropriate; there are things about you that your boyfriend may want to see, especially physically, but the parents should not be a part of that audience.

Also exercise common courtesy and manners: say please and thank you, offer to clean up after dinner, laugh at their jokes (even if they’re from the stone age).

The most important “do”: be engaging, conversational, but don’t push buttons. Ask questions and be an active part of conversation; take initiative to get to know these people who are close to your boyfriend. Address them by name, too.

Avoid really touchy, sensitive or controversial issues when bringing up conversation topics. If something is brought up, be honest, but do so tactfully so you don’t provoke argumentative confrontation.

Remember, you don’t have to agree with them on everything, but you do have to get through the night alive and kicking. Don’t give them reason to chew you up and spit you out.
