Students react to NC religion bill NC State Representatives seek to establish official state religion in bill

BY AUSTIN COOK Asst. News Editor cookar12@wfu.edu On April 1, North Carolina State Representatives Carl Ford (R-China Grove) and Harry Warren (R-Salisbury) submitted the “Rowan County Defense of Religion Act of 2013” (H494) to the State House of Representatives. The bill declares, among other things, that “the Constitution of the United States of America does not prohibit states or their subsidiaries from making laws respecting an establishment of religion,” a notion that directly contradicts the First Amendment of the Constitution, which states that no law can be passed “respecting an establishment of religion ...”

The bill, designed to allow North Carolina to establish a state religion, was proposed in response to a law suit being filed against Rowan County, challenging the local government’s ability to begin public meetings with Christian prayer. But instead of simply asserting the county’s right to pray at the meetings, the bill goes much further, pro-

Many university students were shocked by the news that two State Representatives had proposed a bill April 1 to allow establishing a state religion. claiming that the Establishment Clause of the Bill of Rights does not apply to North Carolina’s state and local governments.

The legislation doesn’t stop there; it also declares that North Carolina does not recognize any federal court ruling that infringes the state’s right to establish a religion, essentially declaring itself exempt from federal law and judicial precedent. Although the bill has been met with a great deal of immediate

skepticism, there are currently 14 Republicans in the state House of Representatives that have signed on as co-submitters of the bill, including House Majority Leader Edgar Starnes (R-Granite Falls). The proposal has already attracted national attention, but experts doubt the bill will ever become law.

Legacy students have a 20 percent higher chance of acceptance.

After sifting through the thousands of applications that come every year, the Office of Admissions has sent out letters to the first round of accepted applicants. Most students do not realize some of the admissions process’ controversial aspects.

According to Martha Allman, Dean of Admissions, the Office of Admissions looks for “academic excellence, intellectual curiosity, artistic talent or other talents that would enhance the Wake Forest community.” An

applicant that may embody all of these characteristics, however, is still subject to financial-need scrutiny. Regarding the extent to which one’s financial needs is considered, “The majority of the class is admitted without regard to financial consideration,” Allman said.

“Because our student aid dollars are limited and we are concerned with the amount of debt that our students incur, we do have the option of considering students’ ability to pay at the end of the admissions process.”

This column represents the views of the Old Gold & Black Editorial Board.

Editorial staff endorses Student Gov. candidates The Old Gold & Black’s editorial staff has met with all of the candidates for this year’s Student Government elections. Each candidate discussed his or her platform and then answered questions from our editors. We then deliberated and voted on which candidates we will endorse. These endorsements represent the majority opinions of our editorial staff. If a member of our editorial staff felt that they could not remain objective, they did not vote.

For Treasurer, we endorse Will Readhead because he has concrete ideas for increasing accountability and efficiency in managing the Student Government’s budget and funding for co-curricular activities. His three years of experience on SBAC and two years as a legislature qualifies him for the position of Treasurer.

For the position of Secretary, we endorse Javar Jones. However, this endorsement

was not unanimous and as a staff we had trouble reaching a decision. Our editorial staff questioned whether or not we wanted to endorse either candidate.

We found Ryan Cleland to be incredibly well-spoken and we appreciate his idea of bringing more faculty and administrators to come to SG meetings but we did not feel that he was endorsable as a candidate because he did not delve deep enough into his initiatives. We saw Jones to be a natural leader and he has a deep understanding of SG. However, we hope that he takes on more initiatives if elected. Our staff found Jones to be the best candidate for the position by vote of plurality.

For the position of Speaker of the House we endorse Lydia Sandy. By a close majority vote, we found Sandy to be the best candidate for the position. She is the only candidate with experience on the

cabinet and we found this experience to be invaluable for leading the cabinet.

While we felt that Colby Moore was experienced in SG and laid out a quality platform, especially in dealing with issues of fostering a stronger, more inclusive campus community, the majority of the editorial board felt that his lack of cabinet experience made him less qualified than Sandy to lead the cabinet. We hope to see Moore’s name on the ballot next year.

Hunter Honnessy is the third candidate for Speaker of the House. We encourage Honnessy to stay involved with Student Government and believe that he has potential for leadership in the future.

However, we believe that as a freshman, Honnessy cannot yet fully understand the issues facing the student body.

For President, we endorse Jacqueline Sutherland. However, three members of our

editorial board abstained from voting. We believe that Sutherland was the strongest candidate to lead Student Government. Her efforts to unite Wake Forest as one inclusive community stood out to our editorial staff.

Sutherland has already taken initiative to begin a service-oriented study abroad program and we feel that she will keep the student body’s best interest in mind if she were elected as President.

Alex Haddock is very knowledgeable about Wake Forest, however, we believe he did not have enough tangible initiatives in mind.

The third candidate Bill Bode had a strong platform with creative initiatives, however, we feel that he is not a strong representative of our student body.

Deacon Profile: Joseph Milner

BY BROOKE METZ Staff Writer metzba12@wfu.edu Joseph Milner, professor of English Education at the university and recipient of the North Carolina English Teachers Association Lifetime Achievement Award, worked as Chairperson of the Education Department for 28 years. He currently serves as the Director of the North Carolina Literacy Project and is working on the sixth edition of a book series he writes with his wife. In his free time, he enjoys reading and going to the opera.

When and how did you become interested in education?

I wanted to teach English because I wanted to coach basketball. I did both and loved it, but I found myself overwhelmed by trying to do both so well. After a few years, I decided to earn a Masters in English at UNC. I became even more devoted to my work and involved in understanding English. Coaching basketball was important, but it wasn’t everything for me. About that time, I got a letter from Lefty Drisell asking me if I would like to coach the Davidson JV basketball team.

I was torn because it was a great opportunity, but I had become so involved and excited about English that I turned it down.

Terry Holland ended up taking that position, and though he’s become very successful, I’ve never felt any envy about it because I love what I do as a teacher of English.

What is your favorite course to teach?

My favorite is really hard to say. I think the thing that is most important to me is seeing the end product of it, the teachers that come out of that program.

I love Children’s Literature and the First Year Seminar; they are each very different and I love to teach both of them, but they don’t reach out into the world the same way that my course in the teaching of English does. I see the teachers that come through that program becoming outstanding teachers all over the country and being extremely well-received wherever they go.

Did you ever consider another profession?

Not really. I’ve had opportunities to teach at other schools, but someone I really admire once told me if you really love what you’re doing, why would you ever want to

Julie Huggins/Old Gold & Black

go somewhere else? I thought about that a long time and decided I’ll stay right where I am.

It was really perfect for me here. I had the combination of outstanding students, courses I loved to teach and administrators I liked to work with. I was chairman of the department for 28 years. That’s a little bit insane, but I loved doing it because I was trying to shape the quality of what we were all doing together.

What do you like to do for fun?

I was telling someone just recently that one of the deadly things about teaching for me is that it means anything I read or watch gets immediately incorporated into how I could use it in my course. I can’t seem to do anything just for fun. I loved playing basketball, but I had to have a hip replacement so I can’t do that anymore. I do swim, which helps me stay in shape and get away from my work. I love music most of all. Opera is one of my most favorite things. I am a hopeless romantic; I love the beautiful music that is played and the stories that unfold.

I also love to read books. I usually have three or four books that I’m reading at one time. I love to discover new children’s literature, as well.

What is your favorite book?

That’s a hard question. Someone asked me that recently and just off the top of my head

I said As I Lay Dying. Shakespeare has some absolutely great plays. Some of them are highly overrated but King Lear, Macbeth and Othello are truly great.

I also like short fiction. There’s a book called Sudden Fiction with short pieces that just capture a moment and give you insight into what’s going on in that little world. I love the brevity of it. I have a wide range of things that I like to read.

How have you connected the education department here to the community?

I’m doing three things that are connected to the community. I developed a project called the North Carolina Literacy Project.

Twenty teachers gather once a month for about two hours. Someone teaches a text, and then we talk about the story and how they taught and other ways one might teach such a story.

I also work with principals in an initiative from the Institute for Public Engagement that I really enjoy because I love leadership.

We try to find speakers who are powerful leaders in their own field so that the people in education can view others’ fields, such as medicine.

The last thing I’ll mention is my work as President of the Governor’s School Foundation. Our sole job is to locate financial support to help make it a better institution.

The strange thing was that two years ago the legislature voted to stop funding The Governor’s School.

Food Justice Summit discusses Unique art event integrates disability advocacy and arts food justice in the area The Hungry Advisory Board, along with other groups and organizations, are hosting the “Food Justice Summit,” an academia based conference on the issue of food justice in Winston-Salem and the greater North Carolina area.

The event will include presentations, workshops, and panel discussions. The Food Justice Summit will start at 10 a.m.

April 20 in Carswell Hall.

Registration begins the morning of the event at 9 a.m. or online through the “WFU Food Justice Summit” Facebook event. The lunch break is from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will coincide with the earth day celebration on the Lower Quad.

The university department of music along with other organizations is hosting “Music of Difference, a concert dedicated to exploring the beauty in disability and diversity” at 7:30 p.m. April 10 in Brendle Recital Hall.

The concert will feature a performance by Catherine Branch, a flutist with cerebral palsy and a passionate advocate of integrating disability advocacy and the arts. Branch will speak about her unique perspective on music’s ability to act as a catalyst for conversations and an instigator of positive change. Branch will be joined by other musicians and composers who wrote pieces especially for the Music of Difference Project. The event is free and open to the public.

We knew we couldn’t let this happen, so we got together to try to bring in funds for the next year.

After we had raised $800,000, we got the legislature to put the Governor’s School back in the budget.

It’s a great place for students to understand the importance of learning: there are no grades or tests. They begin to want to learn as much as they possibly can. It’s a wonderful school that I have loved being involved with.

You are the author of eight books. What is your favorite thing about writing?

Writing is hard. You have to really think deeply about what you want to say. I’m writing something right now about the requirement for text complexity in common core state standards, that we have various kinds of literature for students to read.

I’m trying to argue that throughout the history of literature, the most important innovations have been found in complexity of form and that this complexity can be found in adolescent literature as well. That’s just one facet of our book series Bridging English that my wife and I have worked on, and now Joan Mitchell.

My wife is a great writer and she understands the things we are trying to say — we’re together on those key things.

We’ve just been asked to do our 6th edition because it is the most used text in the field.

Admit: Students disagree over admission policies

Continued from Page 1

have spots set-aside in each class, such is not true. Allman clarified that Wake Forest does not have ‘quotas’ or spots set aside for certain groups, “but strives to enroll a class that represents a broad definition of diversity.”

The incoming class is projected to be made up of 25 percent minority students. This is an increase from the incoming class of 2010 (the current rising seniors), which consisted of 21.9 percent minority students.

When told Wake Forest’s student population is approximately 25 percent minority, Junior Robert Crommelin was appalled. He adamantly believes that “Wake Forest is not doing enough to engender diversity on this campus. I am stunned that minorities do not encompass a greater part of the student body. Admissions should really try harder to reach out to minorities during the admissions process.”

Junior Adam Crowley disagrees. “Wake Forest accurately represents the demographics of the nation for the most part. There is very little disparity between the minority demographics of the school and other universities that appear to have race-neutral admissions standards,” Crowley said.

“The Office of Admissions should implement whatever policy that attracts applicants that will better the University, including legacy or in-state status if they desire those students. Reaching out to those people will automatically make this campus diverse.”

Legacy Status Like other private universities, Wake Forest gives preferential treatment to legacy applicants. “Wake Forest does value legacy and [shows] some preference for children of alumni in the admissions process. Alumni children generally compose 5 to 7 percent of the entering freshman class,” Allman said. “We also sponsor special admissions programs to encourage children of alumni who are strong students to apply and enroll.”

Taylor Ibelli/Old Gold & Black

With many prospective students receiving their acceptance letters, questions arise as to how the university goes about choosing which high school students to admit. Factors include legacy status and geography.

According to a study conducted by Thomas Espenshade, professor of sociology at Princeton University, legacy students have a 20 percent higher chance of being accepted when compared to the acceptance rate for non-legacy students.

Some see such admission preferences as unfair and potentially detrimental to diversity goals because legacy students tend to be disproportionately white.

Joseph Soares, professor of sociology, agrees with Espenshade’s analysis. “Legacy applicants are accepted at very selective colleges at a 50 percent rate,” Soares said.

“I do not see how legacy preferences are ‘fair,’ while considerations of race or gender are not,” Soares said.

Soares, however, believes the decision should be left up to colleges.

“I’m in favor of leaving this up to the colleges, as long as they are transparent about communicating to the world their admis-

sions logic. I believe we do that to a much greater extent than many other colleges,” Soares said.

Some students agree with Soares assertion. “I find the preference given to legacies unfair because it emphasizes blood over merit,” Sophomore Brandon West said.

“In many cases this furthers inequality as those with wealthy parents get in while lower class students are further disadvantaged,” West said.

Junior Eleanor Smith, a legacy student, feels that legacy admission is not a serious issue.

“I think if the student is qualified, then being a legacy just moves you into the definite pool from the maybe pool,” Smith said.

in past years. According to the University Factbook, acceptance rates for the Fall 2011 first-year class were 44.8 percent for in-state applicants and 38.5 percent for out-of-state applicants.

The mean difference in the proportion of in-state versus out-of-state applicants accepted is about 6.32 percent from 2008 to 2012.

The incoming class is estimated to be 20 percent from North Carolina, with 5 percent international and the other 75 percent representing 44 states.

Allman says that despite many changes to the admissions process over the years, including going test-optional, many things remain the same.

Religion: NC bill contradicts First Amendment

Continued from Page 1

John Dinan, professor of politics and international affairs and an expert on state politics, expressed serious skepticism regarding the bill’s chance of actually passing and being upheld by the courts.

“It appears that the bill would seek to challenge longstanding US Supreme Court precedent dating back to 1947 that the religious establishment clause of the First Amendment not only limits Congress but also applies to states and localities,” Dinan said. “[T]here is little chance that the bill will be passed by the state legislature … there are many bills in any given legislative session that have no chance of passing and are instead designed to show local constituent’s that the bill’s sponsors are fighting for them in some fashion,” he concluded.

Though the bill doesn’t specify which religion the state would adopt, presumably it would be some sort of Christian denomination, seeing as the bill emerged in response to the Rowan County law suit.

According to statistics from 2002, North Carolina’s residents are overwhelmingly Christian. Southern Baptists make up about 41 percent of the state population,

while Methodists make up 17.5 percent, Catholics make up about 8.5 percent and Presbyterians make up about 5.6 percent.

The state’s Muslim, Moravian and Jewish population was estimated to be less than 2.5 percent, at the time.

Imam Khalid Griggs, associate Chaplain for Muslim life, expressed his disappointment upon learning about the bill.

“

I think [the bill] is absolutely absurd ...

Tolerance is clearly not a priority in the North Carolina Legislature.”

Colby Moore Sophomore

“The proposed bill appears to be patently unconstitutional to say the least. It is unfortunate that officials elected in the 21st century are capable of subscribing to views that pre-date the US constitution,” Griggs said.

Student reaction to the news of HB 494 has been similar to the widespread admonition of many legal scholars.

Senior James Rex, former chairman of the College Republicans, denounced the bill as a violation of the First Amendment. “[A] bill supporting a statewide religion would

conflict heavily with our founding documents and I believe does not fall within the 10th amendment regarding states’ rights. I urge our legislators to seek out more, not less, freedom for individuals to practice their respective religions,” Rex said. “It runs counter to the true principles of conservatism.”

Freshman Addison McLamb, another Republican, also voiced his opposition to the bill, calling it an “unprecedented breach of basic freedom.”

Sophomore Colby Moore, a Democrat, also condemned the proposed legislation.

“I think [the bill] is absolutely absurd.

There is no benefit that could come from passing this. Tolerance is clearly not a priority in the North Carolina Legislature,” Moore said.

Sophomore Kate Coble believes the bill has little chance of becoming law. “The separation of church and state is too valued among Americans. I don’t believe state legislation is strong enough to overcome the Supreme Court on this issue,” Coble said.

Despite the ensuing controversy, the bill has gone through its first reading in the State House and is set to be debated by the Committee on Rules, Calendar and Operations in the coming weeks.

Provost Kersh addresses state of the university Provost focuses on improving wellness, technology and global initiatives

BY DANIEL SCHWINDT News Editor schwd11@wfu.edu

Julie Huggins/Old Gold & Black

Kersh spoke to students, faculty and staff April 2 about his first nine months as provost.

Almost nine months after entering the position of provost, Rogan Kersh delivered an address to members of the university community to discuss what he had learned and what new initiatives and plans were being made.

Kersh focused on three broad themes in his speech: the issue of wellness on campus, administrative bloat and how to incorporate technology into the classroom.

“There has been a strong felt need for a focus on well-being. In fact, when I first came to the university, President Hatch asked me what I thought about wellness at Wake Forest,” Kersh said. In particular, Kersh focused on the feeling that many students are overstressed and have become overly focused on routines.

In order to combat these concerns, Kersh pointed to the changes made to campus to give a greater parks feel. Dan Bederman, who designed parks for New York City, was brought on to help the university create new spaces for students. “He has begun to help us think about getting rid of the

overstressed and routinized environment,” Kersh said. “It is one are where I think we have gotten our first win.”

Some students believe the changes put in place by Bederman have been helpful, but worry about the cost.

“I think these amenities are a good way to help students unwind and relax, but it would be better to use these funds to improve their classroom experience,” sophomore Derek Fogel said.

Another issue discussed was the planned Wellness Center.

“It was interesting to see from student focus groups about what they would like to see. Along with climbing walls and lazy rivers, we saw students wanting spaces to just be,” Kersh said.

The second theme touched upon was administrative bloat. Kersh responded to concerns over the issue by showing the breakdown in the increase.

According to Kersh, over half of the increase came from adding people who had already been working at the university to the lists of administrators.

The third block of the address centered around how to incorporate technology into the classroom. Kersh pointed to the discussions the university has had with Semester Online, an education consortium, about online courses. The university has begun pi-

lot programs such as ZSRx and the Online Masters of Arts in Counseling. “We have learned a fair bit about how online courses would work and we have a lot of faculty who are interested in testing the waters of online teaching,” Kersh said.

Mark Welker, William L. Poteat professor of chemisry and former interim provost, felt that the online changes were in the right direction.

“We have hired a fantastic director of online education, Brenda Knox, who came to us from Johns Hopkins. Ms. Knox has a lot of instructional design experience, and if our faculty work with her to develop new online courses, I know they will be well received by our students,” Welker said.

Some students are wary of any possible move toward offering some online courses.

“While I don’t begrudge the integration of technology in the classroom, I feel that online courses can severely hamper studentteacher and student-student interactions,” sophomore Ian Rosner said.

Kersh concluded his talk with a discussion of the university’s global initiatives.

One of the worries has been the fact that many students use study abroad programs at other universities and it is not known whether the abroad curriculum offered by other universities like New York University is comparable.

Letter to the Editor

Wake’s public image is damaged The university has fallen from its grace of enviable athletics and academics “Cronyism at its worst. What happened to being rewarded/penalized based on performance? I can’t support a culture of losing and mediocrity. Rant of a displeased and seething alum, I already don’t have school spirit after going to 12 schools.”

This was a Facebook status update to a March 26, 2013 ESPN article titled “Wake AD: Jeff Bzdelik will return”.

Let’s be frank: Wake’s flagship sports team, the men’s basketball team, is terrible and has been so for far too long. The football team is not far off.

This will continue to have deleterious effects off the field in terms of the university’s ability to attract ACADEMICALLY superior talent, name recognition and alumni satisfaction.

It’s time for some systematic and personnel change so our beloved alma mater can convalesce from the sclerotic disease of “mediocritis.” We’ve gotten to the point where the quad is rolled for beating No. 18 ranked

NC State. Really guys??? That says it all. If the status quo remains I hope we’ll stop trying to fool ourselves that Duke, Vanderbilt, Rice and Emory are peer schools.

The broader world doesn’t seem to see it that way. The following quote was taken from an article in The Atlantic article published in October 2012.

“The student who would flourish at Wake Forest or the University Richmond, instead finds himself at Duke where the professors are not teaching at a pace designed for him…” Yes, I want that one to burn, feel indignant, demand change! I hate to break this to you all, we have an image/perception problem.

Our national profile is weak. Our international reputation, in my experience seems non-existent and diaphanous — that word was on the SAT I took in 2007, along with iconoclastic. These were two words I didn’t know and I’m sure I got the questions centered around them wrong on the exam — at best.

I bring up the SAT because the school’s approach to how SAT/ACT are factored into the admissions process is problematic in my humble opinion.

I feel as if Wake has lost sight of its mission, I’m no longer imbued with that sense

of awe I felt during that four day weekend of interviews February 22-25 2007. I don’t feel very connected to the institution; my connection is more to the people I met at Wake.

After one of my best friends leaves with his masters of mathematics (he is the last of the Mohicans) to pursue his Ph.D. biostatistics in Atlanta, we as group of friends have virtually no intention of going to Homecoming in the near future, we’ve opted to do biennial trips together anywhere but Winston-Salem and by extension Wake Forest.

For instance we are renting a villa in Miami for July weekend instead of saving to come to Homecoming. It shouldn’t be this way.

None of my friends aside from me plan on becoming regular donors. Fortunately for me as a Joseph Gordon Scholar I feel that Wake has given me so much and it is my duty to give back, so once I’m making a certain income, checks will get cut.

Go Deacs! For an expanded version of my grievances, go to oldgoldandblack.com Sincerely, Terrol Graham, Class of 2011

“ courtesy for campus servers Students lack Of Wine, Wool and Simple Words | Inside the World of Service

A sense of entitlement among the student body diminishes Wake’s image Caroline Murray Staff Columnist murrck9@wfu.edu

The most reputable part of my Wake Forest identity can be summed up with a collection of titles: I’m a Wake Forest senior.

I’m a Health and Exercise Science major.

I’m an RA. And I’m a waitress. At Shorty’s.

Now, I’ve always been suspicious (yet simultaneously cognizant) of the supposed Wake Forest entitlement complex that poisons many of the students here. This campus-wide problem has never been more clearly spelled out than when I am waiting on my peers and even “superiors” at that small restaurant in Benson.

It starts with a simple concept of proper restaurant etiquette: tipping. Or, rather, failure to do so.

As someone who has seen both sides of the coin, as someone currently employed at

The Wake community doesn’t see Shorty’s as a real restaurant or their servers as real people.

Shorty’s, as someone who has waited tables since the age of 15, I’ve never seen this happen so consistently anywhere.

A whisper of “bad customer service” has spread throughout the campus about the Shorty’s servers: food not out fast enough, apathy among wait staff, incorrect orders, etc. A perception of bad service equals no tip.

Anyone who has worked in the service or restaurant industry understands all that goes on behind the scenes at a restaurant, and most (not all) of these circumstances happen to be beyond control of the servers.

Regardless, servers are the punching bags of the restaurant industry.

Not only have restaurant industry lobbyists never supported an increase in minimum wage (most servers make $2 to $6/ hour, if they’re lucky), customers also tend to use servers as the scapegoat to which they attribute any degree of a negative dining experience.

You know what? Sometimes you go out to eat, not everything can or will be perfect.

But go to any other dining establishment — chain restaurant and black-tie alike — and even if the service isn’t impeccable, it is

a rarity to see a plethora of instances where a server will get completely stiffed. Most would still grant a waiter or waitress at least 10 percent for a less-than-perfect experience.

But an alarming chunk of the Wake community doesn’t see Shorty’s as a real restaurant or their servers as real people. Feels more like servitude, at times.

Furthermore, using the “food dollar constraint” as an excuse to not leave gratuity is more commonly practiced than not. About 80 percent of my orders are paid with food dollars, and many students who eat at Shorty’s will fail to leave a tip due to either lack of cash or some misplaced disgruntlement with the “food dollars are for food only” concept.

This defense holds no water whatsoever.

Seeing as it is already April, I would argue that all are aware of the food dollar policy, yet many customers come knowing they will pay with food dollars and knowing they have no cash in their wallet to tip.

Hitherto, somehow, these individuals feel no responsibility to uphold standard tipping practices that — given the privileged bounce in some of their steps — I’m sure they grew up with.

Too large of a portion of the Wake Forest community — based on common practice — dines at Shorty’s with a premeditated plan of not tipping those who, despite popular belief, work hard for little pay to ensure

that our customers have the best possible experience within our control. Our efforts to give everything we have to all of our beloved customers, too often, feel in vain, as if no matter what we do to make the experience worthwhile, nothing is enough.

Shorty’s is just the beginning. Fellow senior and Winston-Salem waiter/bartender Josh Courtney states that Wake Forest students, and even some faculty and administration, are notorious in the Winston-Salem downtown service scene for exercising such discourteous customer practices.

“When we see a large group of students from Wake walk into the restaurant, we do not fight for the large table like we would normally,” Courtney says. “We fight not to take the table. It is common knowledge in the local restaurants that Wake students do not tip well.”

Even in such small but impactful ways, a fair chunk of the Wake Forest community not only propagates systemic inequity but showcases a holier-than-thou attitude evident in the blatant disregard for proper etiquette and common courtesy towards those they deem to be below them.

I’ve never been less proud to call myself a part of this university than when I put on that apron, screw in the smile and witness the privileged self-entitlement that not always, but far too habitually, follows the phrase, “Can I start you off with something to drink?”

United States puts the“ “infant” in infantry Taylor Ibeli | International Affairs

The role of the U.S. military in international conflicts is misdirected and damaging Taylor Ibeli

Guest Columnist ibeltj12@wfu.edu On February 5, 2012, the United Nations committee released a report criticizing the Obama Administration for “waiving sanctions” three years in a row on countries that support and have children soldiers.

Countries including Libya, South Sudan, Yemen and the Democratic Republic of Congo, who has a partial waiver, were issued a “presidential memorandum” giv-

ing up penalties that were under the Child Soldiers Protection Act of 2008 (CSPA) last October.

Originally, penalties of continuous U.S. arm sale suppliers were enforced by Congress under the State of Department who believed that the countries in Africa that the US is supplying are “to be the worst abusers of child soldiers in their militaries.”

Yet, the Obama Administration feels that the purpose of these arms sales are to “aid the fragile security” of these countries and to maintain cooperation with the U.S. military in order to aid in counter terrorism. Jo Becker, director at Human Rights Watch, reported to The Cable, “the president telling military allies that ending the use of child soldiers is not that important.”

For the past three years, the Obama Administration has waived almost every penalty against the CSPA having their first waiver enforced in 2010, the first year CSPA was placed into effect. To make matters worse, the White House did not inform Congress

Do we ... believe that increasing arm sales ... is the appropriate thing to do in countries of such fragile existence? of this decision in advance and responded, “Sudan was going through a fragile transition and that Yemen was crucial to counterterrorism cooperation.”

According to an article by Tom Bowman from the National Public Radio, there is an urgency of growing concerns in the area of terrorism for the United States. Richard Downie, an African Expert for the Center for Strategic and International Studies points out “with the spread of terrorism you have al-Qaida’s local franchise in Africa controlling two thirds of the country right now.”

This is why the Obama Administration utilizes the African countries intelligence information and thus feels that the U.S. military assistance is needed in both arm

sales and militants. Do we really believe that increasing arm sales and military assistance is the appropriate thing to do in countries of such fragile existence? Remember Afghanistan.

Multiple other factors exist including rampant corruption, violence between rebels and the government, lack of medical management and extremism. The major reason for military assistance by the Obama Administration is the military’s large budget. Downie then argues, “Terrorism is really a symptom of a lot of other problems that really the military is not the best organization to solve.”

He goes on say that state, “State of Department and the Agency for International Development would be better.” Thus, with continued failure to integrate departments for counter terrorism and understanding human issues, we continue to support countries with arms that have fragile security and significant corruption. Are we really any better than they are?

After Georgia Tech series, Deacs rally over UNCG Wake Forest unable to win series on the road against GeorgiaTech

BY MIKE ZAVAGNO Staff Writer zavamd11@wfu.edu The Wake Forest baseball team continued its struggles through the gauntlet that is ACC Conference play this past weekend.

Jordan’s homerun came on his first at-bat in Atlanta since receiving a kidney from head coach Tom Walter in the same city just over two years ago. He finished the game 2-3.

“The home run was a fastball right down the middle,” Jordan said.

Georgia Tech starter Buck Farmer, projected to go as early as the third round in this year’s MLB Draft, baffled the Deacs through seven innings of work, striking out six and scattering five hits to improve to 6-0 on the season.

Ben Lincoln Senior

BY EMMA LINGAN Staff Writer lingej12@wfu.edu Senior javelin thrower Ben Lincoln opened the Demon Deacons’ 2013 spring track & field season with a bang, shattering both the school record he had already set and the previous Kentner Stadium facility record with a winning throw of 247-3 (75.36m) at the Wake Forest Open on March 15. The Hingham, Mass. native, who was named ACC Men’s Track & Field Performer of the Week on March 19, ranks first in the ACC in javelin by a wide margin and places in the top five nationally. Lincoln, who competed in the Olympic Trials for javelin in 2012 and is currently pursuing a degree in the Calloway School of Business, discusses how chasing his dreams athletically and academically have led to his success as a Wake Forest student-athlete.

When did you begin javelin?

I started javelin throwing in eighth grade but competitively around ninth grade. I was about 13.

My older sisters did it and my dad did it [and they would be] around the house throwing around. I kind of just picked it up and identified it as something I could be really good at if I worked hard at it and I really enjoyed it.

You also played football in high school. Was there a particular moment or event that made you want to pursue javelin at the collegiate level?

I always liked football but I didn’t love it. I loved track more. I guess maybe I was just a lot better at javelin. I always liked football competitively around Boston and South Shore, but I didn’t really think about going to college to play it. I had a chance to go Division I with track & field so I made a choice, and I’m pretty happy with that choice.

How does it feel to be named the No. 1 javelin thrower in the ACC? It’s just a really good feeling after years of hard work. The ACC meet will be really tough. There will be a couple other guys throwing above the 70s, and it’ll be a battle. It’s not going to be by any means an easy win, so it’ll be exciting. That’s in about two and a half weeks, and then we have the NCAA meet in a couple months, so those are the two meets I’m really looking forward to.

Thinking back to when you were just starting javelin, did you ever think you would make it to this point?

No, I never thought I was going to. I used to dream about throwing 200 and now I’m throwing almost 250, so it’s just a progressive trip. It’s a long trip, but I never look too far into the future. I take it step by step. It’s kind of surreal almost.

What is the non-athletic highlight of your Wake Forest career?

I personally am happy that I’m in the business school. I’ve always read about how good the Wake business school was and how hard it was to get into, but I’m just happy to be part of a great school and a great major, too. So academically, I guess one of my highlights is being part of that group of very smart and talented kids.

What are your plans for after college?

I’m going to be here another year to finish up my degree. My eligibility will be up, but I’m working on a degree in new business developments so I’ll be here next year. [Depending on] how far I throw this year and how good I am, I could probably throw competitively in the USA next year if I’d like and get a sponsorship or something like that. You have to be determined, but I’ll have another year here academically at least, so I’ll have some options You placed 14th at the Olympic trials in 2012.

Will we be seeing you in Rio in 2016?

That’s a long way and a big question, but you have to chase your dreams once in a while. So we’ll see how well I do this year. As long as I stay healthy and what not, I always have a chance.

Wake nearly sweeps Miami in ACC battle No. 28 Wake Forest wins all three doubles matches as part of a 6-1 victory over No. 50 Miami Hurricanes

BY GRIFFIN KURZIUS Staff Writer kurzgd11@wfu.edu The No. 28 Wake Forest men’s tennis team defeated No. 50 Miami by a 6-1 margin on March 29. The Demon Deacons managed to win all three doubles positions and five out of the six singles matches at the Wake Forest Tennis Complex in their first home match during ACC play.

The Deacs struggled early in the doubles, but the team came on strong for the sweep. At No. 3, freshmen Sam Bloom and Jon Ho delivered the first win 8-6. The duo came up with a critical service break for the win.

At No. 2 position, senior Danny Kreyman and junior Adam Lee clinched the contested doubles point with an 8-6 win of their own. The squad were down 6-4, but played aggressive and smart to win the following four games.

With the doubles point decided, the first doubles pair of senior David Hopkins and senior Amogh Prabhakar ranked No. 77 in the country collided in a tiebreaker with the No. 66 team for the Hurricanes. The Deacs prevailed with an impressive 7-4 win. Head coach Tony Bresky said, “For us, winning that doubles point is huge. We’ve probably lost it more than we’ve

won it against the stronger teams we’ve played, so it gives us a lot of confidence. Then we came out in singles and got off to some good starts. The guys have been doing a lot of individual work that has really paid off.”

Kreyman, playing at No. 2, increased the lead to 2-0 dropping Gabriel Flores at No. 2 7-5, 6-3. Kreyman picked up his 101st career win, moving into a tie for fourth place in program history with David Loewenthal.

No. 60 Prabhakar added to the Deacs lead with a 6-4, 6-3 win at No. 3. At No. 6, freshman Morgan Mays won the first ACC singles match of his career, with a 7-5, 6-4 win, to clinch the match for Wake Forest. At No. 1, Diego Soto put the Hurricanes on the scoreboard with a tightly-contested 6-3, 7-6 (3) win over Hopkins. The Deacons’ captain fought off two breaks in the second set to force the tiebreaker. Playing at No. 4, Lee won the first set 6-3, but lost the second set in a tiebreaker by a score of 7-5. But he brushed off close set to win the decisive super-tiebreaker by a score of 10-4. Ho finished up the win at No. 5 with an impressive 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 victory.

“Overall it was a good match,” Bresky said. “Miami has a really solid team. They beat us last year in ACC play 4-3 at their place, so it was good to come out and get another win over a good ACC team.”

Wake Forest improved to 14-5 on the season and 3-1 in the ACC, pulling in a tie with Clemson for fourth in the conference. The Demon Deacons next take the court against the undefeated No. 1 Virginia squad April 5 at the Wake Forest Tennis Complex. On April 7, Wake Forest hosts Virginia Tech, where the Deacs will honor the varsity match courts to legendary head coach Jim Leighton.

East Tournament Champions, have played under the national radar all season. A Final Four team from last year, the team is anchored by the impressive front court of Peyton Siva and Russ Smith. Smith’s speed and Siva’s vision have guided the Cardinals back to the Final Four.

However, the Cardinals will come faceto-face with the equally impressive Wichita State Shockers. Coach Gregg Marshall’s team has proved unstoppable in the tournament.

Led by the guard-forward combo of senior Malcolm Armstead and junior college transfer Cleanthony Early, the aptly named Shockers have stunned the nation with high quality upsets against No. 1 Gonzaga and No. 2 Ohio State.

On the other side of the bracket, the Michigan Wolverines emerge as the cham-

pion of the South Region after knocking of No.1 seed Kansas in overtime. Burke remains the heart and soul of the Wolverines who are visiting the Final Four for the first time since 1993. The offensive dominance of the Wolverines front court has been a mainstay and the emerging presence of Mitch McGary has been crucial.

The Wolverines will take on the Syracuse Orange.

Dynamic point guard Michael CarterWilliams, as well as forwards C.J. Fair and James Southerland carry Jim Boeheim’s team. Using his vaunted 2-3 zone, the Orange are looking to win their first championship since 2003. Louisville winning for the injured Kevin Ware is a motive for the ultra-hot Cardinals.

After dismantling Duke, the sky appears to be the limit for the Cardinals backcourt even as they play a physical well-coached Wichita State team. The rebounding of Early and power forward Carl Hall has set

the Shockers apart from their opponents thus far, but in the end I expect Louisville’s depth and transition offense to win them a close one. The final score will be Louisville 68, Wichita State 62.

Michigan’s sensational shooting from Burke and sharpshooter Nik Stauskas has propelled them into the Final Four.

Syracuse may be a much stingier team than Florida on defense, but Syracuse’s defense simply cannot contend with Michigan’s offense by comparison.

The Orange are not a great perimeter team on offense, and the Wolverines have been lights out so far. I don’t expect that to change. Michigan will take down Syracuse 70-63.

Championship: This is the matchup the fans want. Both teams play well in transition and Michigan is great from three, but I believe that Louisville’s tempo and depth will carry them to a title. Louisville 80, Michigan 75.

fanned six Georgia Tech hitters. The Deacs responded well in the second game of the doubleheader, riding the arm of redshirt senior Austin Stadler to an 8-6 victory.

The lefthander tied a career-high with 11 strikeouts, the third time in his career he has achieved the feat, in six innings of work. He gave up just one earned run en route to picking up the win to move his record to 5-2 on the year.

Redshirt junior Jack Carey led the way offensively, going 3-5 with two RBIs. Pat

Blair picked up two doubles in three at-bats and also walked twice, coming around to score three times.

Sophomore Connor Kaden earned his third save of the season when he struck out Daniel Spingola to close out the victory.

“Taking one from Goergia Tech isn’t bad,” Jordan said. “They have lost six times all season so I take it as a success.”

Wake Forest returned to Gene Hooks Field Tuesday and sent the fans home happy in walk-off fashion when Carey slapped a basesloaded single into left field to score two and give the Deacs a 5-4 win over UNC Greensboro. The Deacs entered the bottom of the

ninth trailing by a run, but quickly started the inning when Evan Stephens singled and advanced to second on an errant throw. After a walk and a hit batsman, Carey stepped to the plate and laced the game winning single into left field.

“I love the situation, coming in with the chance to win the game,” Carey said. “I was lucky that situation presented itself and I came through.”

The Deacs will return to the field for a three-game home series with Virginia that begins April 6 and will close out the week with a home-and-home two game swing against High Point.

Deacs grab third place at Bryan Collegiate The women’s golf team soared to a third place finish after shooting their lowest round of the year

BY ALEX SPEAR Asst. Sports Editor speaar11@wfu.edu March 29-31, the Deacons finished third overall after the final round of the Bryan National Collegiate tournament at the Bryan Park Golf Club in Browns Summit, N.C. The team’s achievement of third place ranks as their best finish of the year, and the most promising aspect of their high finish is the consistent and high level of play from each player on the roster.

On the first day of the tournament, sophomore Marissa Dodd continued her elite and consistent play by posting a one-under 71, which featured three birdies and was good enough for a tie for fifth place in the individual standings. With this score, Dodd tied her season-best single-day score.

Sophomore Allison Emrey and junior Olafia Kristinsdottir, each finishing just four strokes behind Dodd, finished their first rounds in a tie for 33rd place. Kristinsdottir nailed an impressive five birdies but struggled to reinforce her birdies with pars as she ended up with eight bogeys, while Emrey notched two birdies and 11 pars.

The remaining three players on the Wake Forest roster finished right behind Emrey and Kristinsdottir — freshman Mariana Sims finished with a four-over 76, sophomore Emily Wright (playing as an individual) scored a five-over 77 and senior Greta Lange finished up her round March 29 with a six-over 78.

When asked what went well after the first day, Emrey attributed the unfailingly upbeat attitude

of the entire team: “We were all just pumped up and ready to go, and I think the positive energy and consistent play helped me [and the team] play well.”

The second day of the tournament saw Kristinsdottir, Emrey and Sims fly through their second rounds, each one of them tallying a two-over 74.

Wright and Lange, also showing improvement on the second day, shot scores of 75 and 77, respectively. Dodd struggled through her second round, compared to the first day, but still remained atop the Wake Forest board at four-over par.

Before the end of the third day, Lange finished her pursuit at the Bryan in style with a careerbest, three-under 69. And, neck and neck yet again on the third day, Emrey and Kristinsdottir finished with scores of 72 and 73, respectively, while Dodd finished with a 75, Sims a 77 and Wright with a 76.

Coach Dianne Dailey has the highest regard for her players after their high level of play and knows just how enthusiastic and confident their attitude is as they head into the ACC Championships “They understand now how good they are and can be,” Dailey said.

“They’ve had good swings and now they’re figuring out how to [most efficiently] get the ball in the hole.”

“Their attitude is: ‘yes, we can do this, and, yes, we can get it done,’” Dailey added.

These impressive scores have set a new standard for the women’s golf team, a standard that includes rigid consistency paired with an elite level of play, perfect course management and nothing but the highest, most effective work ethic.

This standard of excellence set by Dailey and executed by her golfers will be carried into the ACC Championships, beginning April 19.

Legacy: Haas family’s impact“on Wake

Old Gold & Black Archives

Haas graduated from Wake Forest in 1985 and returned to coach at his alma mater after playing professionally for nine years.

To this day, I am very fortunate, very humbled and very appreciative to be given the opportunity to coach at Wake.

was a pretty good player, so Coach Haddock had me over for a visit and we went for dinner at Old Staley’s and Coach Haddock offered me the Arnold Palmer scholarship.”

The three were all-Americans, and Jay won a national championship while at Wake.

“I played for a while in the 1980s, and I remembered what great teammates and a great place Wake Forest was,” Haas said. “To this day, I am very fortunate, very humbled and very appreciative to be given the opportunity to coach at Wake.”

Although not blood related, Haas’s uncle, Bob Goalby, was not exactly a novice at the game either. The Belleville, Ill., native outright won the 1968 Master’s tournament coupled with 10 other wins while on the PGA Jerry Haas Tour.

There is no denying the amount of talented golfers in the Haas family and coach Haas is very appreciative of his lineage.

“It’s an honor to have such great family members,” Haas said. “I still call my uncle to thank him for everything he taught me. I learned how to listen and learn from them.”

These days, Haas spends his time giving back to the school that he loves so much. When Haas first came to Wake Forest 15 years ago, the golf team was in what many would call a “rebuilding stage.”

Jerry Haas Men’s golf head coach

With Haas at helm of the Deacon, that stage did not last long. Soon, top talented recruits were once again choosing Wake Forest and more AllAmericans began walking around Winston-Salem.

Haas would lead teams that finished top-5 in the country, and Wake Forest made a name for itself on the golf course.

However, apart from all of the success that Haas has seen on the course, he prides himself in something greater: developing responsible and respectful young men on his team.

“It is very rewarding to see almost my entire athletes graduate,” Haas said. “Once you do it, you get a really great sense of accomplishment.

I can think of many highs being a part of the university and representing the school.”

These student athletes do not need to look far for a good role model. He is sitting right behind the coach’s desk.

“The fact that I am here is very rewarding,” Haas said. “To me, the reward is to have kids who thank you for dinner, graduate, be great members of society and become wonderful fathers.”

With all of the skills that Haas possesses including unparalleled family connections, a stellar golf game, as well as a molder of young men, he still considers himself lucky to be the coach at Wake Forest. Truth is, it is the other way around.

Ed Burns delivered the keynote speech at the 2013 Reynolda Film Festival and discussed his success in small time film making

BY MARGARET MERCER Staff Writer mercmj11@wfu.edu When Ed Burns graduated from film school, he did what any young aspiring filmmaker would do.

He wrote as many screenplays as he could and sent them out to Hollywood. It’s what he had been taught. His teachers had stressed that getting an agent was the first and most important step in making it big in the industry.

Unfortunately, Burns’ scripts were rejected, every single one of them. But he knew he couldn’t give up just yet.

“The dream for me was to be the IrishAmerican Woody Allen,” Burns joked.

So with only a handful of unpaid crew members, unknown actors and a meager $25,000 budget Burns wrote, directed and stared in his first feature film, The Brothers McMullen.

Burns was excited about the possibilities of his film, but his dream didn’t become reality until one day when he was working as a production assistant for “Entertainment Tonight”, he had a chance encounter with Sundance Film Festival founder Robert Redford that changed his life.

The Brothers McMullen made it into the Sundance Film Festival, went on to win the festival’s Grand Jury Prize, be produced for the big screen by 20th Century Fox and grossed over $10 million in the box office.

As an actor, Burns has starred opposite Tom Hanks and Matt Damon in Steven Spielberg’s critically acclaimed World War

II epic Saving Private Ryan, in the thriller 15 Minutes opposite Robert De Niro, Confidence opposite Dustin Hoffman and the romantic comedy hit 27 Dresses opposite Katherine Heigl.

Burns’ told his inspiring rags to riches film industry fairytale April 2 in Brendle Recital Hall as the keynote address of WAKE-TV’s 6th Annual Reynolda Film Festival.

The festival, which ran the week of April 1-5, featured narrative, documentary, animation and experimental films from a variety of student filmmakers, as well as screenings of three independent feature films and five talks from guest speakers, including Academy Award nominated scriptwriter Josh Olson, Wake Forest alumnus and Academy award winning art director Curt Beech, up and coming filmmaker Craig Johnson and Sundance Film Festival winner Eugene Jarecki.

Junior Connor McCarthy, one of the Executive Directors of the festival, said that there was a great deal of preparation put into this year’s festival to make it the best one yet, as well as some exciting changes made from years past.

“I basically started planning this year’s festival an hour after last year’s,” McCarthy said.

“This year, students can expect more audience participation with the speakers and to be more engaged then they would have thought. One of the speakers is actually planning on beginning his talk with a Q&A so he can decide what he should talk about based on what the students want to hear.”

But sophomore Drew Cowan, one of the festival’s Feature Film Coordinators, said that the most important part every year is securing the speakers, because they are what make the festival so exciting.

“The big thing for us is getting the keynote speaker to come,” Cowan said. “Ed Burns was a good choice because he stresses the importance of films to not just entertain, but to engage and inspire which is the mission of the film festival.”

Burns indeed inspired students to pursue their filmmaking dreams. He emphasized that independent films were the route to go for film students trying to make it big like he did. It has become so easy to make films with digital cameras that there is no excuse not to.

“Don’t try and compete with Hollywood,” Burns said. “Do your own thing and own it. Own what you don’t have, and make it part of the charm of your film.”

Both McCarthy and Cowan agreed with Burns that you don’t need a lot of money to make an impact on people with independent film.

“I think that you can learn a lot from film and you can do a lot with it,” Cowan said. “With the festival, we want to show people the possibilities that can come from film.”

Burns left aspiring filmmakers with a parting word of advice.

“If this is what you want to do, grab a camera. You don’t need Hollywood, just a couple of decent actors and a story. And if it fails? Hey, it’s still a hell of a lot cheaper than tuition here, right?”

Movie Review | The Monk

French film raises moral questions

BY ARIELLE SWETT Contributing Writer swetal11@wfu.edu Over an explorative spring break in Manhattan, I was sauntering on the arm of my boyfriend through SOHO’s shops and cafes. We both enjoy films, so when we regarded Robert DeNiro’s infamous Anjelika Film Center (an independent film cinema) we were drawn toward it.

Among other films, we saw that The Monk (2013) was showing, and we proceeded within.

The Monk is a French film about a famous Capuchin monk (played by Vincent Cassel, recognized by many as the French dance instructor from Black Swan) abandoned at the doorstep of a Capuchin monastery in Madrid in the 16th century. He is raised in the monastery as Brother Ambrosio and grows to become a heavily celebrated and revered monk in Spain and Europe alike, attracting followers far and wide.

He is believed to be indestructible by temptation, immune to it and ever moral, a pious monk representing the ideal and

The Monk tells the story of Brother Ambrosio as he reveals a world of corruption within the Catholic Church.

height of mortal sanctity. His sermons are known to drip with fervor, unparalleled in passion and eloquence.

Despite this seemingly indestructible stature, Brother Ambrosio’s righteousness is questioned and challenged with the arrival of Valerio, a masked young man whose visage burned off in a house fire; his arrival brings a dark and tragic mystery. From this point on, the film follows a series of tragedies, endless and perverse sin, sexuality and deception.

It focuses not simply upon Ambrosio’s descent into hellish temptation but additionally upon those of other characters linked to him, all the while highlighting the hypocrisy, cruelty and corrupt management of the Catholic church and its adherents.

The Monk is terrifying, sensual, discomforting and thought-provoking. It is by no means a pleasant two hours, but it is certainly stimulating and engrossing. Intelligent, articulate dialogue and beautiful settings and costumes make it a true anachronism of the 16th century.

Cassel’s performance is spectacular; his acting is precise all the way through, from his mannerisms and facial expressions to his agonizing, anger-ridden, snarling French.

Overall, I thought this film was utterly fantastic — one of the best I’ve seen in a very long time. I do suggest you view it, whether while it is still in theaters or when it is released otherwise. Allow your brain to pick a bone with the criticisms of Catholicism and morality.

Food | Cobblestone Farmer’s Market

Old Salem’s Saturday farmer’s market Downtown Cobblestone Market has organic produce, friendly vendors and is nationally-ranked

BY LAUREN HIZNAY Staff Writer hiznlm9@wfu.edu Think you’ve discovered all the best places and goings-on in Winston-Salem?

As a senior, I’d like to think I have. But when a friend told me about WinstonSalem’s Cobblestone Farmer’s Market, I knew I’d have to check it out myself to see what else I was missing — and I really have been missing out on this nationallyranked gem.

Winston-Salem is home to one of America’s Best Farmer’s Markets, according to a ranking by U.S. News and World Report.

Cobblestone Farmer’s Market is held in Old Salem — a mere 15 minutes from campus — every Saturday morning from May 18 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. through November 23. Its host of fresh, locally grown produce, friendly vendors and beautiful ambiance has earned it a top spot among farmer’s markets in the country.

The Cobblestone Market began several years ago held downtown on Tuesdays,

but its growth in popularity caused it to expand to its Saturday time and location in Old Salem last year. Market goers can still enjoy the Tuesday Downtown Market at the Milton Rhodes Art Center starting April 16, but the new Saturday market in Old Salem is especially appealing to families and university students.

For those readers who might not know, Old Salem is an originally Moravian town established in 1766 that has been restored and preserved. With a museum, eleven gardens, historical sites, shops and event venues, Old Salem is a lovely place to engage in cultural activities, like the Cobblestone Market, outside the Wake bubble.

The Markets are operated by Cultivate Piedmont, a project of the Carolina Farm Steward Association. They are producers-only markets and the vendors are held to high quality health, safety and environmental standards.

This means that, rather than getting your produce sourced from who-knowswhere at the grocery store, you can get items directly from the people who grow and sell them at the Cobblestone Markets.

That’s a big bonus.

The vendors are very friendly and always happy to talk about their business, growing and harvesting their produce —just about anything. Farmer’s markets have been a recent and growing trend in

America — in 2012, the USDA reports that farmer’s market listings increased by almost ten percent. The growth of the Cobblestone Farmer’s Market is just one example of Americans turning to local organic produce vendors for nourishment.

Wake Forest students are also increasingly enjoying this farmer’s market tradition. Sanders McNair, a senior and Campus Garden Intern for the Office of Sustainability, is one such student.

“I really enjoy going to the Cobblestone Markets because they’re a great way to support the local economy and environment,” says McNair. “Most people think it’s really expensive to buy organic, local produce, but the prices are comparable to the supermarkets and there are always free samples. The farmers are just interesting people and it’s a really cool atmosphere.”

The Cobblestone Markets of WinstonSalem are a growing tradition that shouldn’t be missed. If you find yourself wishing to discover more in the offcampus realm (author’s unsolicited senior advice: do it!), spend a Saturday morning strolling in gorgeous Old Salem and check out Cobblestone.

Buying produce from Cobblestone vendors is a great way for Wake students to eat organic, support local businesses, and engage with more people in the Winston-Salem community.

Exploring the cultural phenomenon EDM Electronic Dance Music has transformed from an underground genre to a musical mainstream

BY MARIA VOGEL Contributing Writer vogemr11@wfu.edu Break out your best dance moves and suit up in your festival gear, the phenomenon that is electric dance music has arrived in the United States and has established itself as a ready contender in the popular music game.

In the past few years, there has been an explosion of electric dance music and it is experiencing a continued growth in popularity. Electric dance music’s transition from an underground movement to a mainstream juggernaut, however, did not happen overnight.

Featuring pulsating beats and roaring crowds, electric dance music, more commonly referred to as “EDM,” reached a new height in 2012, quickly becoming the hottest ticket in music. EDM’s shift into the mainstream spotlight has opened the gates to a wide variety of fans as well as critics to the genre as a whole. The majority of EDM’s fan base consists of college aged kids, who have brought the loud and upbeat sounds of the genre onto college campuses.

While many have caught on to electric dance music as an appropriate soundtrack to parties and social gatherings, there are still a number of students who feel impartial to EDM and the subculture it has produced.

Senior Emily Swann is an avid fan of with our generation; with our parents it a defining feature of this generation. “I electric dance music and has attended would be a big rock concert and the things know it’s not the type of music for everyone and it’s not everyone’s scene,” Swann said, numerous festivals and concerts that feature for us it to go to festivals,” said Swann. the EDM artists. “I think people are drawn Whether a fan or opponent to electric “but I have a hard time believing that into unique sounds they haven’t heard dance music, its prominence and popularity somebody could go to a concert and not are continuing to grow, leading it to become enjoy themselves.” before,” Swann said.

Many critics have drawn parallels between the EDM phenomenon of today and the 70s and 80s outbreak of rock music. “The type of music that was popular when my parents in college were rock artists, like the Beatles and Queen. It was a new and unique sound that people were not familiar with at the time,” Swann said.

Along with a shift in popular music, the EDM culture has also produced a change in prominent recreational activities. As the name explains, electric music dance concerts require upbeat and long-lasting stamina. In order to ensure this, many goers have gravitated toward the use of stimulant drugs.

Molly and MDMA are two popular drugs widely available at EDM concerts.

Both drugs raise the serotonin levels in the brain causing a euphoric and upbeat effect, according to a recent CNN report. Their prevalence in the electric dance music scene has produced many adverse feelings toward the movement. Sophomore Alex Palazzo enjoys the music in a party atmosphere but is against participating in its recreational drug use. “To me, its [drug use] is just another form of ruining your brain power and body for a short lived experience,” Photo courtesy of djrockstar.com Palazzo said. However, there are distinct factors that draw fans into the EDM scene. Prevalence of drugs such as Molly and MDMA at EDM concerts “It’s an experience that is sort of associated has created adverse feelings towards the growing movement.

Trend Alert | Spring Styles

Spring into cut-outs and stripes this season

BY KIRSTYN SCOTT Staff Writer krantr11@wfu.edu No one was happy to come back to Wake after break and hide their St. Tropez tan under tights and sun-highlighted hair under hats. Seeing Patagonia jackets out and about campus in April is almost painful, but I promise that Spring is on its way!

As you slowly put your winter clothes away and begin to break out the sundresses and sandals, don’t shy away from picking up a few key pieces that will take you just about anywhere.

Just in case you missed the runway shows last year due to being buried under a pile of books, here’s a recap that might help you decide your next few purchases on that weekend Charlotte road trip.

As a fellow Wake student, I know you probably have a minimum of ten pairs of shorts. There is absolutely nothing wrong

with the mid-thigh or shorter garments that we often don, but add a pair of bermuda shorts to your repertoire this season. Print, color and fabric totally up to you.

The right pair can go casual or more dressed, unlike most of our shorter pairs.

They are also super flattering, and can actually make your legs look longer with the right shoe. Who doesn’t want that?

The modesty of a bermuda short can easily be paired with another one of Spring’s racier fashion fascinations, the cut-out.

Thought your cutout shirt from last year was out? Think again: they are back with a vengeance.

Sheer pieces can be classroom or party appropriate depending on whether they are paired with your new bottoms or an equally as daring mini-skirt.

Take the opportunity to break out of the pastel trend and do a peek-a-boo piece in black, white or a bright.

Now that you’ve got those two down, why not revamp your eyewear? Be daring and ditch the Ray-Bans for a much more ontrend and fun look. Statement sunglasses are huge this Spring and come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors.

Personally, the bigger and bolder the better, but if you’d prefer to protect your peepers in pastels, go for it! Take it as an opportunity to step out of your comfort zone.

While you’re out, look for leather. I know we tend to assume that leather belongs in the colder months on boots and jackets, but the luxe fabric is 100 percent on point for this season. Be it a peplum style dress, a la Monique Lhuillier, or a Proenza-esque skirt, leather is a necessity this season.

Feeling super daring? Don a gorgeous pair of gladiators with your new piece to give a city-chic head-to-toe leather look.

Last, but not least, stripes. This seems innate to most students on this campus, but do yourself a favor and transform your horizontal viewpoint.

Pick up a vertically striped, two-tone piece this season. Not only are they more figure-flattering than a widening horizontal tee, but a vertically-striped sporty dress knocks out two trends in one. Pair it with a cardigan for meeting the parents, or perfect flat-form sandals for fun in the sun.

Most of all, have fun with your clothes this spring. Play with texture, color, print

and pieces to make a look that is all your own!

Community art project highlights campus diversity Photo display on the Quad is part of student art piece “Inside Out Wake”

BY RENEE SLAWSKY Senior Writer slawrb9 @wfu.edu Chances are high that you noticed the huge faces on the wall on the Lower Quad underneath the Pit. If not, go look now. This new addition to campus is titled “Inside Out Wake” and has a very interesting story behind it.

Juniors Kovi Konowiecki and Sean Wilkinson and sophomore Lindsay Hudson Ortyn are the masterminds behind the campus art. The installation features five distinct black-and-white photos. Each subject represents a different niche on campus as well as individuals with unique interests and combinations of passions. For example, the middle subject, junior Tia Sutton, serves as an example of a student who is very dedicated to her pre-med studies but also ascribes to a distinctive style. The other subjects have equally unique qualities about them which help them illustrate the multidimensional diversity that can be found at the university.

The inspiration for the project came when Hudson Ortyn saw a video of an independent graffiti artist at a TEDx

Conference whose true identity is unknown but who simply goes by “JR.” “The way I processed it was that I saw the art he was doing and the nature of his art had a profound effect on me,” Wilkinson said. “Human faces have always spoken to me in art. Once you hear his message, it becomes all the more powerful through such a simple medium. He is trying to make the people the artists.”

“It’s one of those videos where you watch it and right afterwards you want to take action,” Konowiecki said. “We are in to trying new and creative things, and we saw this and decided that we wanted to do this at Wake, gearing it towards a more specific message.” Konowiecki and Wilkinson are the minds behind the Forest Folk tumblr as well.

The timeline for the project began in late fall of 2012 when the group first watched the video. Action was begun the next semester when the team got in contact with JR and his team, which offers to print such photos for free and send them back to the original photographer in order to spread the artistic movement. However, the prints were only 3-feet-by-5-feet, which was smaller than what Konowiecki, Wilkinson and Hudson Ortyn wanted, so the trio decided to craft the project independently. The group decided on subjects — all of whom

are friends, classmates, recommendations or people they simply knew of on campus — and then uploaded the photos to Photoshop. Wilkinson took the lead at this point with his computer skills, and he altered the image in order for it to be a high enough resolution to be printed at the size the group was imagining.

At that point, the plan was as simple as going to a local Kinko’s on Stratford Road and printing the photos on large pieces of paper.

However, things became more complicated when the Kinko’s they were working with had a printer malfunction the day before they were to pick up the product. As a last resort in order to get the installation up on the agreed upon day, the group drove to a 24-hour Kinko’s all the way in Raleigh at 2 a.m. After finally getting the pieces of the project together, the three used wallpaper paste to adhere the images to the wall.

Wilkinson also designed a website for the project himself.

The trio worked with various administrative offices to get clearance for this installation including the Office of Multicultural Affairs, the Office of the President and Facilities and Campus Management.

After some time, the trio got the greenlight from the administration as well

as a sponsorship including funding for the relatively low-budget project.

“Once we photographed the faces, everything rolled very quickly,” Konowiecki said. “As things drew closer, it was nervewracking for me, but I was driven by the excitement.”

With these faces coming down on April 5, the trio would like to see another installment in the future, but has not decided on anything yet. Throughout the production period, Konowiecki filmed parts of the process as well as a time lapse of the installment. The group is planning on making a documentary to be released in the future with a screening held on campus. “‘Inside Out Wake’ is all about acknowledging other students’ different talents and creating a more respectful environment,” Wilkinson said. “I figured that Wake Forest is a place where we can achieve unity without compromising individual goals or ambitions, and this is supposed to show that. People are doing all different things and we need to highlight that.”

“It’s about getting people to think differently,” Konowiecki said. “Gradually, I think people are going to start interacting with the actual message we are trying to promote. It sparks a dialogue that we are a community.”

According to new research from New York-based company TheLadders, recruiters decide whether to offer interviews after glancing at applicants’ resumes for only six seconds. With the job market so competitive for recent college graduates, anything that can give an applicant an edge is exceedingly important.

For some, their undergraduate involvement in Greek life might just be what helps them stand out. Fraternities and sororities love to tout their large alumni networks and resume boosting activities.

Some students shy away from flaunting their involvement however, for fear of being pigeonholed into the Greek life stereotype. The recruiter might have a negative predisposition towards Greek life which could hurt ones chances at moving to the next round.

To test this theory, students, employees, and employers weigh in on the question at hand: Is putting your Greek organization on your resume helpful or harmful?

THE HELPFUL

It shows applicable skills: Leadership roles and philanthropy involvement always look good on a resume, experts say. These qualities demonstrate experience and skills needed to thrive in the workplace.

Elizabeth Jay, a junior Tri Delta from San Antonio, Texas, got an internship with an accounting firm in Atlanta because sorority life was a topic of conversation with the recruiter.

“We were able to discuss the parallels between being in a sorority and the professional world, talking about all the skills that transfer from college to the real world,” Jay said. “It is especially helpful when you can explain your role in Greek life on a professional level.”

It is a great networking tool: Alumni networks like the ones on LinkedIn make it easy to find connections in a preferred industry. Fellow Greeks may favor an application similar to their own.

“I received [a job offer thanks to] another Tri Delta in the office who, not knowing me, knew what I stood for” said Shayna Borhaug, on a forum on LinkedIn. Borhaug is an operations manager and graduate from Stephen F. Austin State University. “You never know when your employer may be Greek!”

THE HURTFUL The stereotype exists: Greek life does not exist everywhere, especially not like it does at Wake Forest. For many people, their only concept of Greek life might be the classic movie “Animal House.”

“Greek life is not as popular at a lot of schools up north,” said Alison Letvinchuk, Alpha Chi Omega at University of New Hampshire. “Sometimes it is easier to leave it out to avoid the stigma. I do not want people assuming I am a flighty sorority girl.”

Entitlement is not a qualifier: “It is important for students to be able to defend themselves and their organization from a professional perspective,” Lauren Beam said. As a career counselor at the WFU Office of Personal and Career Development she advises, “Do not ever put anything on your resume that is going to shoot you in the foot.”

Simply putting a Greek organization on your resume without explanation assumes that name alone should mean something to the employer, as if being in a sorority or fraternity alone makes you qualified for the job.

IT DEPENDS The industry matters: Matt Williams, a junior Sigma Nu from Milwaukee, Wis., was once approached by a hiring representative at a career fair.

“He was in sales and knew to look for the fraternity guys because they tend to make the most extroverted candidates,” Williams said.

While fraternity or sorority connections may by less helpful in a science-heavy field, more liberal arts-minded areas might appreciate the association. The skills provided by Greek life can transfer easily into creative and highly communicative industries.

Diversity is key: As senior director of IT at CEB, Chris Mixter (’00) has plenty of experience interviewing college graduates.

“If you held a management-level position, highlight it like you would highlight any other leadership position,” Mixter said in an interview on LinkedIn. “[But] “I am on the lookout for: ‘what else you got?’”

Mixter was a Theta Chi during his time at Wake Forest. He said that Greek life should not dominate an entire resume but complement a wide range of activities.

THE VERDICT

For many students here on campus, it makes perfect sense to mention their involvement in Greek life. Yet such a mention requires careful thought and explanation. “It does not look professional to say you are just an active member,” Beam said. “Think of specific examples like philanthropy roles, leadership experiences or interpersonal communication skills learned from recruitment.”
