Wake Forest has now been ranked in the top 30 of this list for 21 consecutive years and maintained its ranking at 27th from last year to this year.

In more specific rankings Wake Forest placed 28th in Best Value Schools, up from 30th last year and fifth in Best Undergraduate Teaching. Additionally, it was ranked 36th under High School Counselors’ Top Picks and 38th in Business Programs.

Topping the list this year are Princeton University at first, Harvard University in second, and the University of Chicago tied with Yale University for third. Wake Forest comes in behind Carnegie Mellon University, the University of California at Los Angeles and the University of Virginia, all of which were tied at 24th.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was ranked 30th right behind Wake Forest. Also within the state, Duke University was ranked eigth on the list, as well as North Carolina State at 92nd.

Last year, the rankings by “U.S. News & World Report” noted Wake Forest’s 11 to one student to faculty ratio, which is reported to have decreased to 10 to one this year.

Also noted are the university’s high graduation rate, admission exclusivity, study abroad rate and exceptionally small class sizes, which are the smallest of the top 30 schools.

Chelsea Clinton visited Wake Forest on Sept. 14 to lead a discussion on the role of women in leadership positions.

The event was held in the Green Room of Reynolda Hall, a bright and open yet

smaller, more comfortable space. As her time to speak came closer, the emotions filling the room transitioned from calm anticipation to rising excitement.

Sophomore Leeden Rukstalis was first in line for the event, enthusiastically rushing to Reynolda Hall after her first morning class.

“My entire family have been Clinton supporters since I can remember, so I grew up in an environment celebrating their family,” Rukstalis said. “I have really only ever seen Chelsea appear on stage alongside her family so I am looking forward to see her speak alone about the role of women in politics.”

Such an event sends a vital message to the audience of mostly young college women at the event.

According to the Center for American Progress, women now earn 60 percent of all undergraduate and master’s degrees; yet continue to be proportionately underrepresented in leadership roles. In the business sector, only 14.6 percent of executive officers are women, and likewise in politics, women only hold 18.5 percent of congressional seats.

Partisanship aside, the data shows that the need for women to fill leadership roles is a crucial message to share, and Chelsea Clinton was a fair representative to share it.

The event began with an introduction of the other female panelists speaking alongside Clinton.

The Demon Deacons shattered expectations on Saturday, coming out of the ACC opener with a 24-14 victory over the Blue Devils.

By eliminating Duke’s passing game, executing five sacks, forcing two crucial fumbles and clinching the game with a pick by Brad Watson in the final two minutes, the Wake Forest defense crushed their in-state rival.

“There’s no doubt that we were the physi-

cal team,” said breakout player and true freshman running back Cade Carney said, We really got the tough yards in. We were the ones being the enforcers today.”

Quarterback Kendall Hinton and Carney displayed unprecedented chemistry as they outsmarted Duke’s defense, promptly gaining 85 yards following a punt return five minutes into the second quarter. Af-

ter rapidly transitioning between plays, Hinton handed off to Carney, who broke through multiple defenders to score his first touchdown as a Demon Deacon.

This impressive performance earned Hinton the QB position for the rest of the game.

Wake Forest has been busy in the opening weeks of school with intriguing speakers and panels, copious amount of work to be done and also with various athletic contests.

The beginning of the school year has been packed with many games and opportunities for students to support their classmates and friends.

Last weekend, Wake Forest celebrated three huge wins: football beat Duke, womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer beat Buffalo and menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer beat Virginia.

This momentum has continued with a field hockey win on Sept.

13 and a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball win on Sept. 14.

These athletic accomplishments have given the students something to rally around. After the trifecta of

Students took to Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat to share their excitement about the Demon Deaconsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wins. Students were eager to share the fact that Wake Forest not only beat rival Duke, but won in two other contests as well.

quad, so last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three victories show how invested students can be in different sports. The victories that Wake Forest has recently enjoyed are giving the student body something to rally around.

After some disappointing losses last year, this change of pace is needed to lift the spirits around campus.

There were few times last year when students rolled the quad or even acknowledged wins, so this change will hopefully set the tone for the year.

Athletes do not often get the recog-

nition they deserve, so this change in attitude is necessary.

Wake Forest athletics unifies the student body and provides a common ground.

We often see students segmented off due to the hectic lives of students and with the many clubs and organizations students are involved in, but one thing that Wake Forest students can come together for are Wake Forest sports.

We, the editors of the Old Gold & Black urge students to continue with this attitude and to watch and support our fellow Demon Deacons.

It is important that we come together as a community to support those who represent our school every time they put their uniform on.

The facts themselves can carry you so far. Third, always try to be fair. Realize that if you’re writing about politics, there are liberals, progressives, moderates, conservatives, extreme conservatives and there are those who are a mix of all these things.

I’ll never forget being in New Hampshire during the primaries for the 2016 election. I would go to everybody’s speeches: republicans and democrats.

I’d go to a Bernie Sanders rally, and I’d say, “So, you’re at a Bernie Sanders rally. May I infer from this that you are a Sanders supporter?”

People in New Hampshire are so thoughtful about politics, so they’d say, “Well, I’m considering Bernie Sanders, I do like him a lot.” And I’d say, “So who is your number two choice?”thinking they’d say Hillary Clinton, and they’d say, “No, I’m thinking about Donald Trump.” They reminded me over and over again that you don’t get your ideology in America like a badge and go stand among the orange badge people or the blue badge people. Be fair to everyone while being honest about the facts.

Fourth, I was very lucky in that when I was coming up in journalism, I joined CBS, which was like joining the New York Yankees back in the 1970’s. I

thought that if I tried hard to do firstrate work and be a professional that I could have a career at CBS for the rest of my life. It was great to think that, but I know for a fact now that nobody entering journalism ever thinks they might have a career at “Huffington Post,” “Buzzfeed,” “New York Times,” or whatever the news organization is.

Nobody assumes they can have a lifelong career there anymore. You’re going to have to be flexible, know what your talents are, what your professional desires are and see where they might fit in the larger matrix of journalism.

The book I released in 2015, “The Time of Our Lives,” is very dear to my heart. It’s a collection of the things I wrote all throughout this varied career.

It was very exciting for me; I had to go to a warehouse in Queens and drag out boxes of stuff from the 70s, 80s and 90s and pick out my favorite essays, columns and speeches I have given.

The message is that I have loved this vocation of being a writer, and if you can do it and want to do it, then jump in. It’s all open. The bad thing about the past is that there were only a few places to write and work. The good thing now is that you can work anywhere. If you have talent in America, you can join in, work hard, and rise, and everybody wants to rise. It is the great subtext of America.

With many references to her mother’s candidacy, as expected at a campaign event, Chelsea Clinton paired her personal experiences and opinions as a woman with Hillary Clinton’s policy statements.

Nonetheless, the panel continued to shift back to the idea of women’s roles in leadership.

“My favorite part of the entire event was hearing the councilwoman speak about her daily fight with glass ceilings,” Syed said.

“It isn’t one overarching struggle, instead there is solidarity among women as we all struggle together each day.”

Closing the event, Clinton reflected on many issues plaguing North Carolina today.

In her statements she touched on minimum wage discrimination, discrimination against those with disabilities and the recent controversy over HB2. With these issues, she emphasized her platform to inspire all members to work towards furthered equality.

“I think that for many of us there is this belief that the barriers we do not encounter do not exist,” Clinton said. “It is a challenge for all of us to continue to open our hearts and our minds to feel equally disgusted by barriers yet still open to changing and overcoming them.”

The ceremony began with a prelude by Sally Morris of the School of Divinity.

This was followed by Posting of the Colors by five students of the ROTC Color Guard: senior Mike Weber, junior Connor Murphy and sophomores Connor Felty, Jordan Harmer and Ethan Green. Those in attendance stood silently as the American flag was placed at the front of the chapel.

“The fact that it was interfaith was of particular importance because it cemented that while those who attacked us were of a particular culture and creed, we as Americans remain united, regardless of who we call god or the language we use to speak to god,” Ethan Green said of the service.

In keeping with the interfaith service, Christian, Muslim and Jewish prayers for peace were read in remembrance of the devastation that occurred 15 years ago.

Gail Bretan, the director of Jewish programming, recited the Mourner’s Kaddish prayer. Imam Khalid Griggs, the associate

chaplain for Muslim life, recited a prayer from the Muslim tradition. Then, Liz Orr, the director of Catholic programming, recited the Prayer of St. Francis.

“Each part of the service … asked us to commit to what often seems impossible — a life dedicated to Pro Humanitate and then beyond that to transcend our differences and atone for our prejudices,” Tim Auman, the university chaplain, said.

“Such events not only bring about healing and reconciliation but may also lead to transformation. That was our hope.”

Junior Ashley Sadocha, who lost her father Frank Sadocha in the 9/11 attacks, lit a single candle at the front of the chapel before returning to sit with her family in a pew.

The majority of the service was led by Sam Gladding of the Department of Counseling, who also served as a first responder with the Red Cross soon after the attacks.

“I was a mental health counselor for the Red Cross shortly following the attack when the response went from ‘search and rescue’ to ‘search and recover,’” Gladding said.

In his speech, he spoke about unity and the importance of communication, engagement and empathy. He stressed that students should make a conscious effort to understand others, quoting the show tune “You’ve Got to be Carefully Taught” from the 1958 film “South Pacific.”

“The legacy [of those who died] depends, in part, on our behavior. We have a com-

Ȁ!"#$%&"#$'$(")*+

ƪ Ǥ mitment beyond ourselves,” Gladding said.

“We remain committed to each other, to our country and to the principle of good.”

Several musical pieces were performed at the service, including “Peace, Salaam, Shalom,” “Imagine” and “O Beautiful for Spacious Skies.” Junior Suzanne Mullins performed “15 Chimes of the Carillon” on the Wait Chapel bells, which could be heard throughout campus around 2:30 p.m. and allowed students not directly in attendance to pause and reflect for a moment.

Virginia Christman, the associate chaplain in the School of Divinity, encouraged the audience to “live with love” in her closing remarks, in which she also reflected on

how the Wake Forest student body reacted to the news 15 years ago.

As stated in the December 2001 issue of Wake Forest Magazine, “Members of the Wake Forest community reacted to the terrorist attacks as the nation did: with fear and outrage, with patriotism and compassion. In the days that followed, students, faculty, staff and alumni responded to America’s worst tragedy in the true spirit of Pro Humanitate. They held prayer vigils and fund drives; they gave the gift of friendship and the gift of blood.”

The campus ROTC Color Guard performed the Retiring of the Colors to close the ceremony, carrying the flags back out to the front of the chapel.

Bush administrations, a frequent columnist for the “Wall Street Journal”, and published author of eight books, spoke on Sept. 8 to a packed crowd in Brendle Recital Hall.

Noonan walked the audience through her own insights from both personal and professional experience as a journalist and speechwriter of each American president beginning with Reagan.

She began her assessments with Reagan, a president who was noted for his exceptional charisma on stage. Noonan recalled that when Reagan addressed his audiences, he was often “leaning towards the people and the people were leaning towards him.”

In his private life, however, Noonan said that “he was a person of a certain emotional remove.”

George H. W. Bush took office after Reagan. Noonan contrasted Reagan’s and Bush’s personas, describing the two as opposite sides of the same coin.

Bush was less charismatic on stage but more personable individually, the opposite of Reagan. “[Bush’s] personal space was vibrant, in which he was a master of intimacy.

In the larger world of politics, the tentative part of his nature took hold,” Noonan said.

In keeping with the theme of her speech, Noonan stated that Bush could have learned from Reagan that “a great leader has more in common with an artist than an economist” and to “have a sense of the big arc of history.”

Noonan went on to compare Bush with former president Bill Clinton. The impression [Clinton] made was greater than the impression his words made.”

However, Noonan praised his ability to work in a bipartisan fashion, citing that Clinton “remembered the people back home with affection,” despite his home being in conservative Arkansas.

She compared this to Bush’s similar strength in bipartisanship, as he, though a conservative, had his home in liberal Connecticut.

She recalled an experience she had at the National Prayer Breakfast in 1997 where Clinton, who was in the middle of his impeachment trials, gave a speech. Clinton delivered the message that “we are all hard on each other.”

Which Noonan and many others in attendance felt had a subtle message from Clinton that he felt this was all too hard on him.

This cleverness, Noonan shared, “was a lesson that [Clinton had] learned too well.”

Noonan then shared what George W. Bush could have learned from Clinton that a president “gets to do two or three huge things, not 12,” since she felt that Bush tried to take on too many projects during his term. She feels Obama could

Looking into the future, Noonan said that the nation will miss Obama’s “personal dignity in his own sphere,” referencing how both top candidates for president lack this personal dignity.

Although she is known for her work with Reagan and her conservative-leaning columns, she had never thought of herself as loyal to any political party.

This experience showed, “[her] own self perception was different than that of others’.”

Rather than blindly subscribe to one party or another, she advised the audience to “[only] give all of your support to something when you think that they are completely right.”

When asked whether she considered herself a poet, she said, “[I] considered myself a writer trying to fit her vocation into a certain form.”

She ended her speech and her time on stage by advising her audience to “read poetry, read great literature. If you read and you care and you absorb, you will discover depths in the writer, and by your appreciation, depths in yourselves.”

In these one-hour, pass/fail courses, students engage in peer-based learning through teamwork and collaboration, under the guidance of faculty mentors and student team leaders.

“One of the biggest ideals at Wake Forest is faculty-student engagement,” said Pete Santago, chair of the computer science department. “It’s important to continually ask, ‘What does that mean, and how do you do it? When faculty and students are in the same place at the same time, what’s the best use of that time?’”

At 10 to one, Wake Forest’s student-tofaculty ratio is one of the lowest in the country. Students involved in the STEM Incubator program often have a class size of less than ten with one professor.

“The mentor-mentee relationship allows a student who enjoyed their experience, and who excelled, to step up,” said

math professor Paul Whitener. “That’s always so valuable, because our students are brilliant, and they bring out-of-thebox thinking to our classrooms. Things get exciting when you step out of the box.”

The gender gap in many STEM fields often plays out in the classroom. However, the STEM Incubator program challenges this, with female participation in STEM Incubator courses rising to 54 percent in the spring of 2016, as compared to 28 percent in typical computer science classes on campus.

“I sense that there’s a perception that computer science is a nerdy and almost non-human profession; that it seems dry and meaningless. I find that art-related projects, or projects that focus on improving the quality of life for people with disabilities infuse meaning and purpose into the learning,” said Jennifer Burg, professor of digital media and director of the Humanitech Initiative, a part of the STEM Incubator program. “My particular interest is developing curriculum for what I call computing in the arts. It attracts people who might have a major or minor in art.”

Speaking to the cross-curricular nature of the program, Santago said, “We have two degrees, a B.S. and a B.A., and that f lexibility allows students to integrate any other passion they may have whether it’s philosophy, biology or art history.” “[The program] helps students discover what computer science has to offer,” said Rebecca Lester, a senior computer science major and 3D printing mentor, “It’s not just about programming; you

Freshman Megi Gjini was initially drawn to the program for reasons other than computer science.

“I’m really interested in science — particularly biology — but I thought I’d give computer science a go; the pass/fail option attracted me.”

The pass/fail nature of the course is at-

tractive to students hoping to try something new without risking their GPA. “I think the best thing about the STEM program is that students are encouraged to fail. It’s a very low-pressure environment, but students finish the semester having learned some pretty cool stuff,” Whitener said.

Burg added that “failure leads to understanding. The classes are very playful, hands-on and social.”

Happiness is believed to be the driving force behind most of our actions, yet we have been unable to find a universal standard for achieving it.

Wake Forest’s Eudaimonia Institute just received $4.2 million to try and answer this question.

According to a Wake Forest press release, in June the “Charles Koch Foundation, a charitable organization supporting a wide range of scholarly opportunities and research at U.S. colleges and universities, had committed $3.69 million to support the institute over the next five years. Liz and Chris Wright, CEO of Liberty Resources and Liberty Oilfield Services, have committed an additional $500,000.”

Founded just this summer with the name “Eudaimonia Institute” — eudaimonia is Aristotle’s term for “flourishing” — the institute studies human flourishing, and the different aspects of human life that influence it.

“The key for us was finding a topic for investigation that cuts across disciplinary boundaries,” said James Otteson, executive director of the Eudaimonia Institute, professor of economics and Thomas W. Smith presidential chair in business ethics.

“Eudaimonia obviously has philosophical roots, but it also has deep connections to many other disciplines, including economics, sociology and politics, even fields like nutrition, evolutionary biology and neuroscience.”

“The World Happiness Report,” pub-

lished each year by the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network, measures happiness through fields of economics, psychology and national statistics all centered around a common ideal: well-being.

While Scandinavian countries such as Denmark and Norway are consistently ranked among the top five nations, the U.S. has, over the past few years, been ranked number 13.

Trying to understand which factors of well-being contribute to human happiness and how those factors are best balanced to create human flourishing is a question yet to be answered by any nation, even one like Denmark. This is where Wake Forest’s Eudaimonia Institute will attempt to make a lasting impact.

“To the extent we are able, we hope to understand human flourishing in all its aspects,” Otteson said. “We hope our investigations will complement and enrich the work being done across these many fields.”

The Institute hopes to help advance research of its faculty and professors while also furthering investigation into the concept of eudaimonia on a more universal scale. The Eudaimonia Institute hopes to find the connections between the Aristotelian term and the many questions we face on a daily basis with regards to family, financial security and inequality.

“We hope to have resources and research opportunities for students from a variety of perspectives and interests,” Otteson said.

“The Eudaimonia Institute’s commitment to the rigorous academic exploration of human flourishing from multiple disciplines and perspectives has been affirmed by its Faculty Advisory Board, a group of a dozen Wake Forest faculty members from across the university,” said Provost Rogan Kersh in

The study of individual and collective well-being is too important to be viewed solely from any one perspective.”

In recent years, Wake Forest has taken great strides to provide a balanced environment of academia and general wellbeing for its students. The Thrive initiative was created in the hopes of finding ways to better integrate well-being into the lives of students, faculty and staff. It is comprised of eight aspects of well-being including emotional, environmen-

tal, financial, intellectual, occupational, physical, social and spiritual health. All of these aspects contribute to the larger picture of eudaimonia, going beyond the Wake Forest community.

“Studying the nature of, and the institutions that support eudaimonia is, I believe, a reflection of our educational mission and ‘Pro Humanitate’ motto,” Otteson said. “Understanding a life well lived is so central to human happiness so, studying eudaimonia might be one of the most important contributions scholars can make, particularly at Wake Forest.”

On Tuesday, Sept. 13, Allan Louden of the communications department held a lecture called “Political Advertising in the Age of Trump.”

Louden’s work focuses on political communication.

He has worked as a consultant on political campaigns and has commentated campaigns on T.V. and print media during elections.

The lecture began the discussion of President Johnson’s infamous 1964 “Daisy” political advertisement, which played a role in helping President Johnson with 48 of the 50 states.

The advertisement features a young girl picking the petals of a daisy while counting aloud. The girl is interrupted by the countdown of a nuclear bomb hitting the U.S. countryside.

As Louden noted, this ad was particularly effective, because it tapped into American’s fear during the Cold War. This was at the peak of video campaign advertisements, as the limited amount of T.V. channels ensured that a singular ad could be effectively used to convert and reinforce support for a campaign with a blankettype approach.

In this election, however, advertisements are being used to target specific groups and reinforce ideologies.

The U.S. political system has become more polarized on party lines as of late, and the increase in technology has influenced this division.

With the increase in technology, campaigns are able to target specific groups with their ads, reinforcing this individuals’ ideologies. The intent of these ads is not to convert potential supporters but rather to rile up supporters so that they actually turn out at the ballot box.

This has led to particularly personal and nasty campaign ads.

Louden noted that none of the ads are necessarily using quotes in context, instead of fanning the flames of partisanship.

The exception, however, is with third-party candidates. Bernie Sanders, although he campaigned in the Democratic Party, is included in this category, because he does not fit into the establishment of the party.

Both candidates appealed to society at large in a “conversion” approach.

Former Governor Johnson and Sanders are continuing to attempt to build a movement to change the government and party system. Their advertisements focus on rebuilding America The lecture concluded by discussing the irregularity of the 2016 election cycle. Although elections have always been negative since the times of Thomas Jefferson and

F6?;>78#&@8#!6GG18

John Adams, attack advertisements now are often more personal in their approach today than in the past.

Although there are a multitude of ads all across the political spectrum in this cycle, advertisements from conservative PACs have stopped in an effort to focus funds on congressional campaigns given the controversial nature of the GOP’s presidential nominee. This event was well received by its attendees.

“The lecture on political ads in the age of Trump was an engaging information session that opened my eyes to the various strategies used by politicians to attempt to identify with various groups of people in a manner more appealing than that of their political counterparts,” said freshman Ellie Bruggen. “I found it interesting that most ads are for reinforcement of preconceived ideas rather than conversion to new ideas.”

Campaign ads tend to get increasingly aggressive and negative as the election date moves closer.

Linebacker Allen Artis turned himself in to the Chapel Hill court exactly seven months after he was accused. The victim, sophomore Delaney Robinson, announced she was largely unhappy with how the police handled the case.

According to Robinson, she was asked derogatory and accusatory questions relating to her previous sexual partners, her state of intoxication and if she had ever been involved with Artis before and after the assault occurred.

Instead of being treated as a victim, she felt like more of a criminal.

After turning himself in, Artis immediately faced misdemeanor charges for sexual battery and assault on a female.

It was unusual for the court to issue such charges, as the felony case is currently underway. Because of the misdemeanor charges, Artis is suspended from future games.

The case is also unusual as the victim decided to come forward instead of remaining unnamed.

After falling ill with pneumonia and leaving in the middle of a 9/11 commemoration ceremony, both parties have raised questions about the presidential candidate’s health.

Clinton left the event and returned 45 minutes later revived and waving to supporters outside her daughter’s apartment.

However, the incident comes at an especially inconvenient time for the candidate, as her health is already under question after Republican challengers pointed out her constant coughing.

Clinton’s personal doctors have released her health statements, along with personal statements that she is healthy to run for the presidency. Donald Trump has also released medical statements, but the legitimacy is questioned as they are riddled in mistakes and lack necessary information.

President Obama released a statement noting that Clinton is held to unfair health standards compared to her opponent.

In reaction to HB2, which opponents argue curbed antidiscrimination efforts against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, the ACC made the surprising decision to move the football title game and the women’s basketball championship tournament from North Carolina.

Mixed opinions arose on the subject of the controversial law. Those in favor of HB2 argue that the ACC inappropriately inserted itself into politics, while those against the bill feel that the conference appropriately took a stand against the issue.

Many sports organizations also residing in North Carolina feel threatened by the ACC’s decision. The Charlotte Sports Foundation which hosts the ACC football championship announced they were disappointed by the news because of the potentially negative economic impact on the region known for sports.

On trade, Donald Trump leaves much to be desired within the U.S. The businessman, who has bankrupted his companies six times, doesn’t support free markets.

Instead, he encourages protectionism and apparently plans to start trade wars with China and Mexico.

Trump has suggested ripping up NAFTA, a major trade agreement that has created over 5 million jobs, as well rejecting the T.P.P., which is a trade agreement between 12 Pacific Rim countries.

He wants to move away from free international trade and implement tariffs on imported goods, such as a 35 percent tax

The U.S. imports $500 and $300 billion a year from China and Mexico, respectively. Trump says he will slap a 45 percent tariff on Chinese imports and 35 percent on non-petroleum Mexican imports. This will increase the overall amounts we pay for imports by 15 percent.

In return, we can expect China and Mexico to slap us right back with tariffs on our exports. That’s no fun because China and Mexico make up one-fourth of all of our exports and in just three years, when some of you are still eating Pit burgers, our exports will have decreased by $85 billion.

As prices soar and access to international markets becomes increasingly tight,

small businesses and manufacturers will struggle. As a result, we likely will lose millions of jobs and halt the progression of connecting the global trade we have achieved since World War II. These are real numbers. This is not hyperbole.

Trump’s policies on trade would be ineffective, dangerous and about as bad as living in Luter as a post-abroad junior.

Finally, let’s take a look at Trump’s stance on immigration. His plans put a smile on my face. Not the kind of smile you have when sharing a laugh with friends, but the kind of condescending eye-roll-smile you have when someone says something absolutely ludicrous.

Perhaps Trump supporters believe his immigration plan will bring back American jobs, raise wages and ultimately affect the economy so profoundly that the benefits outweigh the costs (i.e., moral condemnation from good-hearted humans across the globe, aliens, the man above, etc.) but that is simply, and thankfully, not the truth.

Trump has said he wants to deport all illegal immigrants — all 11 million who make up over 5 percent of our entire la-

bor force (more than that of North and South Carolina combined).

The American Action Forum estimates that this plan will cost roughly $400 to $600 billion to implement.

Moreover, a large portion of these 11 million jobs will go unfilled because of their demanding manual labor and long hours that often repel American workers.

This phenomenon has been seen before in Arizona where similarly tough immigration policies have been enacted and resulted in lost jobs rather than jobs being snatched back by American citizens.

Industries, such as agriculture, would be devastated by the labor shortages and lead to a reduction in the American work force.

By expelling 11 million undocumented workers from the country in an attempt to create American jobs, Trump will succeed in pummeling industries reliant on labor, which will result in fewer jobs and higher labor costs, driving up food prices, creating inflation and rising interest rates.

In the third and final part of these articles, I will further explain why Trump’s policies are impractical and will never truly be enacted.

Conflict between inhabitants of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North Dakota and supporters of the Dakota Access oil pipeline reached a fever pitch over the past few weeks.

Tension was catalyzed in August when the Dakota Access L.L.C. sued the Standing Rock Tribe for interference and has continued to escalate as Native Americans from across the country have gathered to protest in North Dakota.

However, protesters enjoyed a major victory on Sept. 9. While federal judges denied a request to halt construction on the pipeline, the Obama administration ordered that it be suspended in an unprecedented intervention.

The pipeline, which would have the capacity to transport 470 thousand barrels of oil each day over four states, has raised concern among the Native American community over significant threats to their water supply and sacred

The list of possible objections to the pipeline is long. Resuming construction on the pipeline will seriously threaten existing Native American culture and add to the extensive list of abuses that the U.S. has inflicted upon native people.

Construction of the pipeline includes a significant risk of serious environmental degradation. There is concern about potential leakage in the pipeline near its intersection with the Missouri River which would contaminate the water supply of the Standing Rock Tribe and populations downstream.

Moreover, the pipeline was rerouted to its current path to avoid affecting the water supply of Bismarck, North Dakota. Many protesters detect hypocrisy: the pipeline now threatens their water instead.

While the pipeline does not directly encroach on reservation land, it bisects sacred ground immediately to the south. The ancestors of the current inhabitants of the Standing Rock Tribe used the land to the south (which was removed

from the tribe through treaties over 150 years) for hunting and burial ground, and the region carries great spiritual significance. Even though the area is not considered hallowed by the majority population, it is every bit as special and sacred as places significant to American culture.

It would be absurd to build an oil pipeline across the front yard of the National Cathedral or through a treasured cemetery or national forest. It is no more unacceptable to defile sacred Native American grounds.

Not only does the pipeline physically attack Native American culture by threatening sacred land, it attacks their worldviews and spiritual beliefs. An essential aspect of Native American culture includes taking care of land and protecting natural resources. It is a blatant dismissal of Native American culture for the Dakota Access pipeline to not only violate some of their core beliefs, but to do so on their most sacred land.

Rather than constructing an oil pipeline that will further enable American dependence on fossil fuels, Americans should emulate Native American principles of conservation and preservation by investing in renewable resources instead.

Proponents of the pipeline argue that its construction will create as many as 12,000 jobs, but they would only be temporary; a much smaller number would be required to operate and maintain the pipeline upon its completion.

Moreover, few if any of the jobs would likely be filled by Native Americans. Reservations,

which are often fraught with high unemployment and poverty, will require sustained job investment for their economies to thrive.

This past summer, I spent a week on Spirit Lake Reservation in North Dakota on a church mission trip. While that particular reservation is not directly threatened by the pipeline, the experience instilled in me how important it is that Native American culture be nurtured — not further extinguished. It has survived the Trail of Tears, unfair treaties and forced assimilation schools, but it remains vulnerable.

I was able to witness the vestiges of Native American culture that have blended with American culture in a beautiful conglomeration: children sing Dakota and One Direction songs, wear traditional Jingle dresses and sneakers and eat Fry bread and Cheetos. Proceeding with the pipeline and destroying ancient tribal lands could push Native American culture further into oblivion and ostracize its populations at a time when native heritage must be celebrated.

Nevertheless, the passionate protests and gatherings of Native Americans from across the country have served to reinforce Native American culture and unity. Frank White Bull, a member of the tribal council at Standing Rock, recently told the “Washington Post”that “people have shown they’re here to help us...We made our stance and the Indian Nation heard us...It’s making us wanyi oyate. One nation.

We’re not alone.”

For most undergraduate students, this will be the first presidential election in which we can vote. I cannot help but feel that the republican and democratic parties have failed to provide us with candidates that can be supported without reluctance.

I do not think Donald Trump nor Hillary Clinton should be elected president because they both represent the problems in our two-party system.

Both of the candidates are stuck bickering with personal attacks which only increase the partisan divide in the country. In addition, this promises no improvement in the unproductive government we have endured for far too long.

Another problem with these candidates is that they address issues like building a wall or e-mail confidentiality issues, but issues such as the obesity epidemic, the immense power of Super PACs in elections and improving relationships with Latin America after interventions during the 20th century remain unaddressed. The political situation is dismal to say the least.

It seems that the electoral model designed to keep the government functioning fairly has failed with both political parties failing to accurately represent their supporters’ ideas and nominate tolerable candidates.

In the 2016 election, only one third-party candidate will be listed on the ballots in all 50 states: Gary Johnson. He is the Libertarian candidate, and even though he is a former republican governor, he has the potential to sway both conservative and liberal voters.

Johnson promotes fiscal responsibility while also advocating social tolerance. His moderate views appeal to voters on the left and right who feel failed by the laughingstock this election is nationally and internationally.

During his tenure, Johnson was a successful republican leader in a mostly democratic state. This demonstrates his ability to promote cooperation between the two parties, a trait that the other two candidates clearly lack. Johnson is the only candidate that I feel will move America towards a better future and bridge the widening gap in our society.

A vote for a third party candidate is not a wasted vote — it is a protest against the failures of a broken system.

In addition to the Libertarian Party, the Green Party and the Constitution Party are options for voters not content with the current political situation.

A vote for Gary Johnson does not promote Clinton or Trump; it is a statement that you are not satisfied with the major-party candidates provided regardless of political affiliation.

Third party votes are a vital, necessary aspect of the election process.

In theory, they serve as a way to ensure all voters cast a ballot for whoever they feel most aligns with their personal beliefs. And in practice, I sincerely hope they become a viable alternative to the two-party system in the future.

Unfortunately, they have no place in the 2016 election. Forget what you thought you knew about the race to the White House. All bets are off — they have been ever since Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination back in July.

Here’s what we do know: Gary Johnson and Jill Stein will not be elected President. Rosy ideals of “sticking it to the man” or not, we will all wake up on Nov. 9 with either Trump or Clinton as our next commander-in-chief. If you have any shred of a conscience, you should do your part to ensure the election doesn’t result in favor of the former.

As a still-a-little-sore Sanders supporter, I know as well as anyone that apathy is a hard hurdle to overcome this election season. But if passion doesn’t motivate you to vote for Clinton, fear ought to.

Trump poses a serious, imminent threat to the livelihood of our country. By ignoring that threat and voting third party, you actively turn your back on those who would be

People of color, LGBTQ folks, immigrants and low-income families (to name a few) all have a tremendous amount to lose in this election. It would be nothing less than a crime to gamble on their human rights just to prove a point.

If you are considering doing this by voting for a third party by handing your vote to Trump I implore you to take some time to consider your actions. Consider those around you and the ways in which you will surely be adversely effecting them by tossing a haphazard vote in the direction of the peanut gallery we call our 2016 third party candidates.

And if you truly believe in the viability of third parties (which, in any other scenario except the 2016 election, you ought to), you would do well to start from the bottom up.

A random, out-of-context vote in a presidential race is not the best way to help promote the growth of an alternative political party. Instead, take the time to campaign for third party candidates running locally and nurture a strong support base at lower levels. By the way, you can do this and still vote for Clinton in the upcoming election.

In time and with great effort, I hope as much as the rest of you do that third parties become normalized. In fact, I long to see an end to the two-party system.

But I also long to see America survive the next four to eight years. To ensure that happens, let’s all make the right choice in November.

When Wake Forest students, faculty, staff and members of the greater Winston-Salem community gathered at the Brendle Recital Hall to hear from the distinguished “Wall Street Journal” columnist and former presidential speechwriter Peggy Noonan, many of them probably expected to hear a subdued reflection on the state of American politics.

Many voters are disenchanted with the leading candidates in the presidential election (in fact, a good deal of polls tell us that regardless of which candidate does win, he or she will be unambiguously disliked by a majority of Americans) and voters feel trapped in a web of uncertainty when they seriously consider their less-than-stellar options for the nation’s next president.

Noonan has devoted decades of her life to a career in politics and certainly could have chosen to deliver such a speech, but it was truly a pleasant surprise that she did not take that route.

Instead, Noonan offered substantive and thought-provoking remarks on presidents past and present, while frequently giving her audience a chance to laugh while still learning along the way.

Too often we seem to think that discussions about politics and political issues must unavoidably be (perhaps by necessity) serious and lack any kind of lightheartedness or merriment. But as Noonan deftly noted, merriness has a certain special power.

It allows us to relax, if only for a mo-

!""#$#%&'(#)(&(*+'$,(-(./'."'0(&&+).' $#0'1+2+$.+0-/'+3$4(#+'.5+'2$&.' &+1*+&'&(46-.$#+"6&-/'$&'5+1',+&.'

76$-(./'$#0'5+1')"62'0+'819)+:; ment, to set aside our partisan dispositions about any given issue and to see presidents not as symbols or devices that we can employ to advance our agendas, but as human beings just like the rest of us, striving as best they can to live meaningful lives and serve their country well.

Noonan’s numerous anecdotes of politicians behind-the-scenes and beyond the debates and press events serve as an important reminder that we must not take ourselves too seriously.

To be clear, we certainly should not concentrate our efforts and force politics to transform into a thoroughgoing circus filled with wild and eccentric performers — indeed, we probably have enough of those as it is.

But Noonan’s advice not to view politics as an inevitably bleak and solemn undertaking is one we should all take to heart.

Moreover, beyond her tales of what she called “old-school courtesy,” some of Noonan’s insights should undoubtedly be scrutinized.

Her critiques of our current president are well taken, but one cannot help but think that in many of her criticisms, Noonan characterized President Obama a bit recklessly.

She wasted no time unequivocally denouncing Obama’s signature healthcare reform effort as a complete failure, and delivered a spiel that has become so much of a knee-jerk opinion that it hardly means anything anymore.

Our government cannot expect to reform healthcare without support on a bipartisan basis, Noonan said, and on this point she was surely correct. But it is easy to forget why Obama acted as he did.

Contrary to the narrative on the right, Obama did not ignore the will of Con-

gress and bully the legislation through.

He responded to one of the defining crises of our time by providing affordable health insurance to millions of Americans who desperately needed it. While the rollout of the Affordable Care Act certainly was far from ideal, it is hard to deem the program a complete failure if millions of Americans now have health insurance because of it.

Obama stepped up, not because he was unabashedly partisan and wanted to defy the desires of Congress, but rather because Congress refused to do anything.

He did much the same on the issue of immigration.

In both instances, Obama did his best to ameliorate a dilemma that Congress intransigently refused to help resolve, despite tireless pleas for the lawmakers to work with him.

It is more than a little ironic that Noonan griped about the president’s unwillingness to pass legislation in a bipartisan fashion but recoiled at the mere hypothetical idea of working for Hillary Clinton if she were asked.

Noonan also declared that Obama never seemed to show affection for those who did not see the world as he did, but this assessment seems hard to make when we consider that Obama has repeatedly insisted that our politics “requires listening to those with whom you disagree and being prepared to compromise.”

The true measure of the effectiveness of our politics cannot strictly be revealed by the merit of our own ideas, President Obama has noted, but rather by our willingness to earnestly consider those ideas which we might find at worst to be disgraceful and at best misguided.

Finally, Noonan’s incisive ability to dissect and repeatedly examine the past serves simultaneously as her best quality and her coup de grâce.

Indeed, it was, at times, difficult to discern when Noonan was trying to extract lessons from instances when past presidents had come up short and when she was simply lamenting the fact that no stately gentleman like Reagan has come

along to take us under his wing and save the day.

Whether today’s conservatives are willing to admit it or not, we are living in a time that is almost entirely divorced from the lives that many Americans once lived in the 1980s.

In Noonan’s defense, she did note that while we will miss certain aspects of all of our recent presidents, we must nonetheless move onward into the future. But that is essentially all she had to say on the matter, and she offered practically nothing when it came to how we might best move forward.

Perhaps her laudable appeals for a more elevated form of politics are her best answer to this question.

After she delivered her speech, Noonan took questions from the audience, including one from a young woman who intriguingly asked Noonan if she considers her role as a speechwriter to be that of a poet, given that one writer decided to become a poet after hearing Reagan’s remarks on the Challenger disaster that Noonan wrote. Noonan, surprised at the graciousness of the question, replied that, she did not, but that was not what was so special about the interchange.

Before Noonan answered the question, she and the young woman went on for some 30 seconds just talking. The woman asked if Noonan had read a book that discussed some of her work, and Noonan replied that she had not, but that she very much wanted to read it.

For a moment, it seemed like the two were not in a lecture hall but rather in a coffee shop, freely conversing with one another as two friends would. It was a moment of civility and grace that we have all but left behind in today’s political world.

More than anything, Noonan’s remarks, and the exchange with the questioner at the end of the program are emblematic of the respect and decency that we must always strive to show towards everyone when we debate political issues — even those who seem to do nothing more than stand in our way.

“Kendall’s the guy that can make plays with his feet. I just felt that we needed a spark, and I thought he could make explosive plays.”

Hinton and Carney led Wake Forest’s offense to a total of 239 rushing yards. Duke put up a mere 37.

Their rushing success didn’t surprise a single Wake Forest player.

“We know that we have a great defense,” Carney said. “For 21 days, we successfully moved the ball on our own defense.

We just knew, looking back on film from last week, that there were so many opportunities in front of us. So, the concern was not there; it was more of an excitement to show what we are capable of.”

Playing a substantial role in Saturday’s victory was Wake Forest’s offensive line, which looked tougher than ever before under Clawson.

“We just started pounding ‘em, pounding ‘em. We could feel the momentum shift, and we could just feel that we were taking over,” said left guard and team captain Tyler Hayworth.

With the score at 7-7, the Deacs went into the second half ready to dominate. Wake Forest defensive end Duke Ejiofor immediately sacked Duke quarterback Daniel Jones twice in a row. The second time, his blow forced a fumble, which Ejiofor was quick to recover.

The turnover positioned Wake Forest at Duke’s 14-yard line.

Wake persistently gainoned small increments of yardage until Carney was able to rush 1 yard into the end zone.

The lead was short-lived, however, as Jones, in a matter of two minutes, passed 66 yards to star player Anthony Nash and finally rushed two yards for the score-settling touchdown.

Wake Forest took possession with five minutes left in the third quarter and executed the most exciting play of the game.

Immediately following the snap, the offensive line forged a hole large enough for Carney to slip through without being touched by a single Duke defender. He bolted 55 yards to the house, putting Wake Forest in the lead, where they confidently remained.

When asked about his three touchdowns, Carney was humble.

“We got four great running backs right now, and it just happened that I was the guy in there today making plays. but there are four guys very capable of doing everything I did, and that’s

The 5-11 powerhouse from Advance, North Carolina credits his teammates for his success.

“To be able to be out here and represent my hometown like that and have all the guys that did such a good job in front of me, that’s very gratifying.”

With Watson’s interception and a 34-yard field goal in the fourth quarter by Wake Forest’s Mike Weaver, the Deacs secured the sweet victory.

For their extraordinary efforts, both Carney and Ejiofor earned ACC Honors this past week. Carney was named Freshman of the Week for his three touchdown performance. Ejiofor was named ACC Defensive Lineman of the week for his seven-tackle, three-sack outing.

“We’re 2-0, and now we’ve got to work hard. The reward for winning a game like this is the next game becomes more important,” Clawson said.

After a triumphant rolling of the quad, Wake fans can watch the Deacs at home against Delaware this Saturday, Sept.17.

!?'425%@A<2'4 B'1>43CDEF7#G(A# The No. 10 Wake Forest men’s soccer team finished their homestand 4-1-1, but the string of games in Winston-Salem didn’t come without struggle on the part of the Deacons. Wake Forest’s past two games have only seen one goal, as they took down Virginia Cavaliers 1-0 and tied George Washington 0-0 on Tuesday.

In their game against Virginia last Friday, which was the Deacs’ first match in the ACC this year, Wake Forest outlasted Virginia’s strong forwards and physical play

through regulation and two minutes of overtime to come away with a hard-fought 1-0 win. Virginia, a longtime ACC rival, came into the match ranked No. 13 in the country with a 2-0-1 record. “We’ve played games already, but they’re nothing like this,” said senior Hayden Partain who scored the game-winning goal. “The ACC is just ruthless, and I really feel like we just finished a wrestling match after every ACC game.”

Wake Forest could not break down the Cavalier defense, and the Cavaliers could not find any holes in the Deacon back line in regulation. The game shifted into a golden-goal overtime period. Fortunately, this was the time when Wake Forest was able to sneak one by the Cavaliers. In just the second minute of overtime, junior Jon Bakero was able to track down and dribble the ball into the lower left corner of the 18-yard box. Bakero played the ball on the ground across the mouth of the goal, and Partain was just able to tap the ball into the lower left corner of the net before the Cavalier goalkeep-

er could claim it. This gave Wake Forest a vital 1-0 win over their first ACC opponent of the year.

The Deacs could not transfer their momentum to the next game against George Washington, however, and failed to capitalize on multiple point-blank chances that they created in the final third of the field. George Washington, a physical team, stationed its defenders unusually high which stymied the Wake Forest midfield and defense. George Washington had multiple chances throughout the game, as they played up to the higher ranked Wake Forest’s level. Senior goalkeeper Alec Ferrell started and played all of regulation and both overtimes, making a clutch save in overtime to keep the score at 0-0.

Wake Forest will take on Duke this Friday in Durham, an ACC match that promises to be an intense and exciting contest.

Wake Forest will have to improve their finishing if they want to take down the Blue Devils.

In college golf, a head coach is usually flanked by an assistant coach and between the two of them, important decisions regarding upcoming tournament strategies are made. Knowledge of the golf course was instrumental in the team’s recent success at the Rod Myers Invitational.

It is normal for every college tournament to have a practice round the day before a event. Our Demon Deacons, however, “We just went over a week prior and played it,” said assistant head coach Dan Walters. “We played a competition within our team and tried to get as familiar as possible with it. This is easy to do with a course just down the road. Plus, we had a lot of good memories to draw from.”

In 2015, Wake Forest clinched a one stroke victory over Duke with an important putt holed on the 18th hole of the last day of competition. It is also essential which holes coaches choose to strategically place themselves at and how they choose to interact with the players during the event.

In particular, a point of emphasis was the management of the par-3s which were considered some of the crucial holes for a successful weekend. However, this strategy was not written in stone since adjustments were made during the day of the tournament.

In particular, coaches did not only follow a player for a couple of holes. “I picked up Eric on the second hole of the second round and then walked with him for the remaining 35 holes,” assistant head coach Dan Walters said.

“And he played wonderful golf.”

Freshman Eric Bae impressed during his collegiate debut and finished the weekend with rounds of three and one under on a par 70 golf course. The second round was the lowest of the day, while his third round score was a team best.

Originally from South Korea, Bae arrived with his family at an early age in Pinehurst, North Carolina. Our young Deacon then started golfing under the watchful eye of his uncle: “My uncle was pretty hard on me, and we soon realized that I could make it under any circumstances.”

He moved from Raleigh to Pinehurst as a junior in higschool and continuously increased the quality of his practice sessions as he grew older.

In particular, he attributes his recent consistency to decreasing head movement throughout the swing. At the moment, he is currently working on shallowing his swing.

More recently, he impressed at the Rod Myers Invitational where his consistency was at the center of attention.

Averaging 2.83 strokes on the par-3s, Bae was able to execute both the team’s plan and his own planned intentions: “I knew what holes I could go after to make birdies,” said Bae. “I was striking my irons well. I wasn’t aiming directly at the pin, but I always left myself with good chances.”

Wake Forest outpaced the opposition with three players in the top five and four players in the top 10. Bae (5-under, fifth) has only one collegiate round under his belt. We look forward to his exploits as he continues to mature as both a golfer and an individual.

During the 15th anniversary of the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, all of the Seattle Seahawks protested the national anthem in their season opener against the Miami Dolphins. The Seahawks linked arms in unity during the National Anthem. They acknowledged that this was the 15th anniversary of the attacks in 2001 and noted that this action was not an attack on the military and not an action intended to disrespect the day. Four of the Dolphins players also knelt during the anthem.

While there is criticism surrounding the decision to protest on the anniversary of 9/11, Kaepernick has received praise and criticism during the past few weeks. However, the 49ers issued a statement shortly after his first protest that did not criticize Kaepernick.

“The national anthem is and always will be a special part of the pre-game ceremony,” the statement said. “It is an opportunity to honor our country and reflect on the great liberties we are afforded as its citizens. In respecting such American principles as freedom of religion and freedom of expression, we recognize the right of an individual to choose and partic-

ipate, or not, in our celebration of the national anthem.”

Kaepernick and the NFL are not alone in this protest. The U.S. women’s national team’s soccer star Megan Rapinoe took a knee before the game between the Seattle Reign and the Chicago Red Stars. Rapinoe spoke to John Halloran of “American Soccer Now” to explain her decision to kneel was a nod to Kaepernick.

“I know what it means to look at the flag and not have it protect all of your liberties,” Rapinoe said. “It was something small that I could do and something that I plan to keep doing in the future and hopefully spark some meaningful conversation around it. It’s important to have white people stand in support of people of color on this. We don’t need to be the leading voice, of course, but standing in support of them is something that’s really powerful.”

This protest has moved to other NFL teams as well, including the Tennessee Titans, the Denver Broncos and the Kansas City Chiefs.

While President Obama was abroad in China, he mentioned Kaepernick and his silent protest: “My understanding, at least, is that he’s exercising his constitutional right to make a statement.”Obama said that Kaepernick is using his platform as a sports icon to send a message and that others before him have done the same.

While Kaepernick has received support from many, there is a lot of backlash on his actions. Kaepernick has faced criticism from those within the military and those who have military ties. On Sept. 1, the 49ers played their last preseason game against the Chargers in the Chargers’ 28th annual salute to the military.

Robert Muth, chair of the San Diego Veterans Coalition spoke on the issue to “USA Today.”

“I would not be surprised if there were some boo birds out when he’s announced,’’ Muth

Issues like this are always going to be front and center.”

Kaepernick, however, addressed this by deciding to kneel and not sit during the national anthem to show his respect for the military.

Kaepernick’s protest is not about the military but about the oppression of minorities in the U.S. New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees expressed dissatisfaction with Kaepernick and his actions. Brees disagrees with the methodology but not the purpose of the protest itself.

Brees spoke to ESPN on the issue.

“I disagree. I wholeheartedly disagree,” Brees said. “Not that he wants to speak out about a very important issue [...] There’s plenty of other

ways that you can do that in a peaceful manner that doesn’t involve being disrespectful to the American flag.”

GOP Presidential Candidate Donald Trump said that Kaepernick should find another country to call home after his protest.

In an interview with KIRO radio in Seattle, Trump said, “I think it’s personally not a good thing, I think it’s a terrible thing. And, you know, maybe he should find a country that works better for him. Let him try, it won’t happen.”

Kaepernick has sparked a movement that has spread across the NFL and into other sports in an attempt to raise awareness of racial issues and how the U.S. has oppressed minorities currently and throughout history. While many support Kaepernick and the movement, the controversy of disrespecting the American flag is not one that is easy to resolve.

The Old Gold & Black sat down with Nicola to talk to her about the season so far.

How are you adjusting to your freshman year at Wake Forest?

It’s going pretty well. I really like this school, so it’s not that difficult to adjust. There’s a lot of people helping me, and I have my team around me, so the adjustment has been quite easy.

How are you adjusting to the U.S. coming from Germany, and what has the transition been like for you?

You’re had a large offensive impact so far this season. What does it feel like to have such a big impact on your team as a freshman?

I expected it to be more different. Actually, because I live on campus, it’s quite international, so I don’t really know what life is like in America. I only know the campus life, but so far, it’s quite good.

What are you most looking forward to both on and off the field this year?

On the field, I am looking forward to the big games and the NCAA championship.

I would like to win a title with this team. I was really looking forward to the UNC game, which we unfortunately lost. But the spirit of

the game was so special. UNC is so close to Wake Forest, so it was a different game compared to any other game I’ve played so far.

You could just feel that everyone wanted to win the game. That was quite special and impressive.

Off the field, I’m excited to meet people and to get to know a different lifestyle compared to the German one.

Why did you choose Wake Forest?

Wake Forest combines academics and field hockey pretty well. I don’t know if there’s another school where I can play field hockey at

I didn’t expect it. When I first came here, I didn’t expect that I would perform so well.

The whole team is doing such a great job. If the rest of the team didn’t stop our opponent and get the ball, then we couldn’t score on the attack.

It’s a great team, and I feel so proud to be a part of it.

What are your goals for yourself this season, and what are your goals as a team this season?

For myself, it’s to find my place on the team and to play a steady season.

For the team, I can’t say, because I don’t really know our opponents yet, but I would be so happy if we made it to the championship and reached the finals.

Huster, who played in all 19 games of her sophomore season last year, has taken her game to a new level this year.

In addition to leading the team in goals and points, Huster has notched three assists on the year already.

Huster, who scored the ninth hat trick in program history on Aug. 25 against FIU, has a proven eye for goal and ice in her veins. With two game-winning goals already this season, the 8-0-0 Wake Forest women’s soccer team feels confident at any point in the game knowing Huster is on the pitch.

What’s this season been like for you so far?

So far it’s been positive. I think coming off of our last two years, they have been pretty negative all around.

This year, we just kind of wanted to turn it around and bring some pride back to the program and do well for the program.

How have you developed as a player at Wake Forest throughout your career here?

At Wake Forest, we definitely emphasize doing a lot extra.

Anytime up here [on the practice fields] in the afternoon, you’ll see people working on their own and doing individual practice with the coaches or watching film, and I think that the environment here has definitely allowed me to get better.

Tony and the girls always keep it competitive, so that fosters development.

Tactically, how is this year’s team different than in past years? Is it more of a finishing in the final third or a full team effort?

Definitely a full team effort.

Tony was very specific this year in the way that we wanted to play, and we came in and he showed everybody their role and what they needed to do. Everyone has just kind of thrived and built off of that.

Coach da Luz talked about the strong mentality of this team and how you’re playing wihout worry of failure. As a player, could you talk about that?

I think last year, anytime we would go down in games, we just automatically thought, “another loss, another loss in our losing streak.”

This year, I think we’ve gone down in games and had an instant bounce back.

How have the freshmen on the team this year adjusted to collegiate play so far, and as a leader on the team, how have you been able to mentor them and take them under your wing?

This year’s freshmen are different! They’re really focused, they’re pretty relaxed, they know what they need to do and they know their role.

I think they’ve come in and have already contributed in any way that they can, whether that’s coming off the bench or being a voice on the bench and just helping the whole team. They’ve done a really great job.

It seems that in every game, you guys are now matching a record or breaking a record.

How do you stay motivated?

Any win that we get is positive.

It doesn’t matter that it’s a record or whatever. I think we’re just happy to get a win every time.

Who has served as a role model for you throughout your soccer career?

We’ve gotten goals right away and, nobody’s kind of hung their head and thought “oh crap another loss.” It’s always been, “oh, another chance to improve and get another win.”

Definitely my big sister.

She’s seven years older than me and plays professionally. I think even when I was little, she was a role model for me.

Her work ethic and drive have always inspired me.

Some teams and specific players have shined, while other teams have left their fan bases without much for the season. One of the biggest measuring sticks for conferences is the early season matchups with powerhouse teams from opposing conferences. In recent years, top teams have really been branching out and trying to make a statement early in the season. One of the effects of these big matchups can be a letdown against weaker opponents in the following week.

The ACC has already had some major résumé building wins within the first two weeks of the season. Florida State fell into a hole early but was ultimately able to dig themselves out in the second half and soundly defeated Mississipi. Ole Miss was one of the favorites to win the SEC this season and by defeating them, Florida State cemented themselves as national title contenders. Clemson also had a big win over a national power in Auburn. These two wins strengthed a belief which had been growing over the offseason: that the ACC is as good as, if not better than, the SEC. It will be interesting to see how this plays out as the season

develops. I would expect that these conferences will match up in many bowl games, including the NCAA Championship.

In other positive ACC news, Louisville has looked like one of the most impressive teams in the country. They have demolished both Charlotte and Syracuse while averaging 66 points per game. Their offense has been led by perhaps the best player in the country right now, quaterback Lamar Jackson. Jackson has already accounted for 13 touchdowns (rushing and passing) through two games and has looked absolutely unstoppable. Some of the plays he has made have been simply unfathomable.

Unfortunately, not everything was positive for the ACC these past two weeks. Virginia has been a borderline embarrassment to the conference thus far. To be fair, UVA has a brand new coach and is clearly rebuilding, so I expect them to be very good in the years to come.

However, this year will certainly be an uphill battle for the Cavaliers. UVA opened their season at home against FCS opponent Richmond. The Spiders made easy work of the Cavaliers and the final score of 37-20 was not fully indicative of how easily the game was won by Richmond. UVA followed up this underwhelming performance with a 4426 loss to the Oregon Ducks. This was a road game, and Oregon is a very good program, so this loss was expected; however, the Cavaliers have a long way to go before becoming a respectable program again.

Clemson also had a performance that reflected poorly on the conference. While they defeated Auburn in week one, they found themselves having to battle against heavy un-

The first two weeks of the season have been incredibly exciting, and some schools have already begun conference play.

Florida State and Clemson still remain the favorites to win the conference, but Louisville is certainly knocking at the door.

This weekend’s matchup between Louisville and FSU will certainly be exciting and should clarify the race for the ACC title.

While the Deacs triumphed over both the Davidson Wildcats and Old Dominion Monarchs, the game against ODU tested the Demon Deacons more than any other this season.

Wake Forest defeated the Monarchs 3-1, retaliating vigorously after Old Dominion’s Iris Achterhof executed an upper 90 strike that skipped off the bottom of the crossbar and into the goal merely two minutes into the game.

Just like that, the Deacs’ five-game shutout record was broken.

The team’s confidence, however, did not waver. Less than two minutes later, Wake Forest senior Caroline Wootten crossed to Maddie Huster with perfect accuracy, allowing Huster to tie the game with a powerful shot from inside the goal box. The Demon Deacons didn’t let Old Dominion take another shot on goal for the rest of the half.

Huster, who is listed as a defender, has had an attacking role in every game so far in 2016.

This year, she leads the team in both goals scored and points, with five and 13 respectively.

The charismatic junior takes on a whole new persona when she steps on the field. She is one of the most intimidating and powerful women’s soccer players in the ACC and has been crucial to the team’s outstanding success this season.

“I like playing where I can contribute,” she said. “We’ve been able to score a lot of goals so far. All of the forwards do their jobs fantastically well.”

The Deacs dominated the field after the first five minutes of the first half, as if they completely forgot Old Dominion had managed to score.

ǯ ;ǦͶǦͶ ͸ͶͶͿǤ “I think in the past, we would have carried that [initial goal] around for a while, but this team is different and has a lot of character,” Head Coach Tony da Luz said.

“We evened the score really quickly and got over it, so I was really proud of the kids for that.”

Not only did they even the score, but they solidified offensive communication, rapidly gained momentum and took shot after shot.

With two minutes left in the first half, Sarah Medina sent a beautifully arched pass to sophomore Bayley Feist who headed it in for her fourth goal this season.

“The first goal was a great response — a fast goal. The second goal, another great response. After that I thought we had control of the game,” da Luz said.

To ensure the win, Jenna Romano unleashed a pow-

erful strike that sailed past Old Dominion goalkeeper Krista Moisio and flew just under the crossbar and into the goal.

“I kind of just knew I had to shoot,” said Romano. “No one was really in front of me, so I just took the chance.”

Old Dominion arrived at Spry Stadium on Friday ready to play aggressively. Taken off guard, the Deacs conceded an early goal but rebounded more fiercely than they’ve ever had to this season.

The Wake Forest women’s soccer team demonstrated resilience and power, which they preserved for Sunday’s match-up against Davidson, who they defeated 1-0.

Determined to continue making history as they move into conference play, the Deacs will take on Clemson on Sept. 16 at Spry Stadium.

Distance Makes the Heart Grow Fonder Handling long-distance friendships is tough but can be managed with some careful thought !"##$%&'(#")*+$ !"#$%&'"()* +),-./0123#,4$', Long-distance relationships of any sort are difficult. Long-distance friendships are especially hard to hold onto when you’re both maintaining separate lives while still trying to keep each other up-to-date on what’s going on.

That being said, there are ways to ensure that you and your friends don’t completely grow apart, even if you’re far apart. You may not have quite as many new inside jokes, but at least you won’t lose sight of your friendship.

Set aside time to talk This is pretty obvious, but the best way to maintain any friendship is to communicate with each other. It doesn’t have to be every day, or even every week, but making sure you both put time into keeping the friendship strong is an easy and very important step.

Make a schedule to call or FaceTime on certain days, or even just at the start of the week. If you know your friend is having a stressful week, make

Send them little gifts It doesn’t have to be anything big, but let’s face it — everyone enjoys getting mail. It could just be a funny little $10 trinket you see at Target that reminds you of them, or it could be an elaborate present that requires at least four people to carry. Set up a system where you both promise to send each other something once a month as a non-traditional way of keeping in touch. Write them a nice letter every once in a while to let them know you’re thinking of them. That way, your friend will have something tangible to remind them of your friendship. Stationery is cheap, and it takes all of five minutes to write a letter saying, “Hi, I miss you.” This suggestion might cost a little bit of money, but the payoff is totally worth it.

Visit them when you have a break

yourself available to them so they’ll have someone to lean on for support.

Tell them about your college life Again, a fairly intuitive thing to do, but this is something that many people forget to do. College is a crazy time for everyone and something’s always happening. One thing many people cite as a major obstacle in maintaining their long-distance friendships is keeping their friends current on the intricacies of their livesExplain who your college friends are as you meet them, talk about the specifics of your school and your experience. That way, your friend will know exactly what you’re talking about and hopefully won’t have to ask you to explain too much later on.

Much easier said than done, but perhaps the best way to keep a friendship afloat when you’re living in different cities is to simply go and visit. People love showing off their towns, and college towns are especially fun. Instead of going on Mountain Weekend, take a drive to visit your friend in West Virginia. No plans for Fall Break? Go visit your friend at the University of Georgia. This is perhaps the best piece of advice when it comes to long-distance friendships because things will almost definitely fall apart if you never see each other.

Don’t forget who’s known you for so long Remember where you come from. Your high school friends helped shape who you are today, and the minute you forget that is the minute you lose that friendship. Just because it’s a lot of work doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do the work, especially at a time in your life when relationships with other people mean so much.

Don’t let go of your old friends simply because they’re too far away.

You’re drowning in information, struggling to stay awake and counting down the minutes until your release.

This is me, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. What can I possibly do to survive this class? Will I be forced to drop out of college only to become a measly street performer, like a sad New York City clown?

Never fear! I’m here to help you make the most of your early morning classes through a step-by-step guide I’ve pulled together over the last week.

1. Stay up all night long.

Stay up all night by complaining, goofing off, and doing things that aren’t related to school at all. Watch your favorite TV show.

Listen to an unknown artist’s entire discography. Have a midnight dance party.

It doesn’t matter what you do, just make sure that it isn’t school related. Bonus points if, during these acts, you glance at the clock

continuously and keep telling yourself, “I have an 8 a.m. tomorrow! I’m going to be so tired!”

2. Let your seven alarms wake you up.

This is important. The more alarms, the better. I have mine set for 6:30, 6:32, 6:34 and so on until 7. Do this so that you can snooze your alarm a lot of times while valuing every single second of shut eye.

3. Go for a run.

To the fridge.

Eat some breakfast or drink a cup of coffee.

If this isn’t your cup of tea, then proceed to step 4.

4. Take a shower.

This is an essential step in preparing for an early morning class.

Showering means that your tears will blend in with the water from the shower head.

Showering means that your cries and sobs will not be heard down the hall.

Be sure to get into the shower with some of your clothes on by accident (you won’t have to do laundry, so you’ll thank me later), and make sure to fall asleep in the shower.

5. Sit on your bed and pout.

Complain about your 8 a.m. Shed a few tears. Ask yourself why you thought it was smart to register for an 8 a.m. class.

6. Get dressed and ready.

Grab some athletic shorts from your dirty clothes basket because you didn’t do laundry with any of your free time. We’ve all done it.

Put on your makeup and do your hair.

Or don’t. It’s an 8 a.m. No one cares how you look.

7. Glance at the clock.

Realize that you now have five minutes to get to class. Consider if you can make it there in four.

8. Run to class.

Forget to bring paper. Thankfully, however, you have a hand that could also double as a really cool place to take notes.

9. Try your best to pay attention.

If you fall asleep, go to office hours. Explain to the professor that you can’t focus. Cry in front of him or her. Expose your weakness.

Natural selection would’ve totally ended you.

10. Count down the minutes, and tell yourself you’ll never do this again.

Go to your dorm room. Repeat steps 1-12.

Hopefully, with these simple tricks and tips, you’ll be slaying your 8 a.m. Feel free to add tears, sobs, and whines wherever you choose.

The more, the merrier.

Silo Bistro & Bar, which opened in March of 2015, offers a relaxing atmosphere both inside and out, as well as a menu full of diverse and healthy lunch and dinner options.

The dishes run from around 9-12 dollars, so although it is not quite as easy as swiping your student ID, it won’t put too much of a dent in your wallet.

Silo’s baked brie is a popular appetizer that is perfect to share with a friend or

two. It comes with a hearty wedge of warm cheese wrapped in crunchy phyllo pastry and topped with caramel. It is served with green apple pieces and sliced bread. This item is on their menu year-round, and it makes for a treat no matter the season.

The caprese salad is a fresh and guiltfree entrée. It is served with mixed greens, tossed with balsamic-basil vinaigrette and topped with homemade mozzarella cheese and heirloom tomatoes.

It also comes with a piece of toasted herb focaccia that is drizzled with pesto. You can

also add your choice of protein on top, whether you’re in the mood for shrimp, salmon, chicken or steak.

You can also enjoy a taste of North Carolina cooking with “The Southerner” sandwich. This sandwich consists of a Gambino roll topped with rotisserie chicken, pimento cheese, maple pepper bacon, sprouts and tomato. It also comes with a side which can be homemade pasta salad, coleslaw, kettle chips, couscous, tomato cucumber salad or fresh fruit.

Silo will satisfy both picky and adventurous eaters, as well as everyone in between with its countless creative options and homey atmosphere. While the weather is still warm, enjoy the short walk along the trail, and get a table outside overlooking beautiful Reynolda Village. You can also sit inside and see the rich history of what used to be the village’s cow barn. Even in the winter time, it is worth braving the cold for this dining experience.

Whether you miss having a homecooked meal, feel like you need a change of pace from the on-campus dining options or aren’t a fan what is on the menu at Ƭ the Pit, walk on over to the village: it won’t ơǦ Ǥ disappoint.

Maybe it’s the film nerd in my nature, but even for moviegoers not familiar with the influential single shot opening à la Orson Welles, the deliberately slow camera movements are bound to spark some interest at the very least.

The movie starts with the camera stationed in a parking lot. The screen rotates, focused on a car that is mysteriously driving around a Texas Midlands Bank, revealing the setting as West Texas. As the camera continues to rotate almost 360 degrees, another car drives by the viewer and parks, while the first shifty car drives around the corner and disappears.

A woman gets out of the car while the camera continues to pan.

She walks past graffiti on a nearby wall, but no matter how brief the moment is, you can still make out a very serious message that sets the tone for the whole film. It reads, “3 TOURS IN IRAQ BUT NO BAILOUT FOR PEOPLE LIKE US.” As the woman walks towards the bank, the camera finally stops rotating. Soon we see two men come around the corner with masks on and guns drawn.

As they start robbing the bank, everything is meticulously thought through to relate the bank robbery to modern times. From these first several minutes, I was completely engrossed in the film and the engaging characters each rich with their own backgrounds.

The cast features prominent names such as Chris Pine (“Star

Trek,” “Into the Woods”), Ben Foster (“3:10 to Yuma,” “Lone Survivor”) and Jeff Bridges (“The Big Lebowski,” “True Grit”) who all deliver impressive performances.

Where Chris Pine is the calm and collected planner, his brother played by Ben Foster is the persistent wild-card. The two are chased

by Jeff Bridges’ character and his Native American “deputy.” Where Jeff Bridges is a grumbling old man with racist jokes, his counterpart, played by Gil Birmingham (“Twilight,” “Rango,”) is modern, patient and obviously tired of the societal expectations on him.

What’s interesting here is the modern take that writer Taylor Sheridan (“Sicario”) masterfully twists around what would be a Classic Western if it were set in a different period.

At the start of the film, right after the impressive shot, the two brothers rob the bank. The two are desperate to save their family farm.

But there’s a lot more at risk here, and their plan is much more nuanced than a traditional bank robbery.

However, some of the plot points in the first 30 minutes are danced around and somewhat poorly executed. There’s just too much obvious exposition that really takes you out of the film when the two brothers are discussing their family and all that’s happened since Ben Foster’s character got out of prison.

Yet, I can’t stress enough how this really is the only fault in “Hell or High Water.” Taylor Sheridan writes an impressive narrative that is equally thought-provoking when paired against Mackenzie’s long shots akin to “Badlands” or “The Revenant.”

Tackling themes such as degradation of culture, natural cycles in history and the moral ethics of doing something wrong for the right reasons, the screenwriter playfully invokes this sense of loss and disappointment in the viewer. All the while, the film is entirely engaging and especially thrilling when Mackenzie lets the actors lose on some especially noteworthy scenes.

The film feels like a crescendo with occasional crashes throughout. Already being hailed by critics on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes, “Hell or High Water” is a must-see film that reminds me of modern

classics such as “No Country for Old Men” or “A Place Beyond the Pines.”

There’s a different aspect to this film that feels special. The film is not just a good film; “Hell or High Water” subverts what it means to make a Western.

The two brothers rob a bank to save their farm, sure. As one character tells Jeff Bridges in the film, “It doesn’t make sense. To be going around robbing banks. It ain’t smart.” But the two main characters, are robbing within reason, driving across states in their beat up cars, past oil drills and billboards on the highway.

The movie makes it very clear that the Old West is dead and has been for a very long time; yet, the film insists the Old West is alive and kicking. There are cowboys, there are cops and, most importantly, there are still good films out there.

“Hell or High Water” was the best movie I’ve seen in months. I couldn’t recommend it more. If you love old westerns, gritty movies based in realism and multiple engaging narratives, this is just the movie for you.

This is not surprising, considering the film is the latest offering from Laika Studios, a company known for its dark and occasionally disturbing animated films using stop-motion methods, such as “Coraline” (2009) and “ParaNorman” (2012.) Indeed, “Kubo and the Two Strings” is often unsettling and even scary, but it is also whimsical and overwhelmingly beautiful in more ways than one.

The title character, Kubo, a precocious 11-year-old, takes care of his mother who suffers from an ailing mind as a result of a traumatic brain injury caused by the storm. During the day, he entertains villagers with his origami characters brought to life by playing his mother’s magical three-stringed samisen, a traditional Japanese instrument. When he forgets to heed his mother’s warnings, he is attacked by the people who killed his father. Kubo is swept off into a quest to find three pieces of armor that will protect him from his cruel, hateful grandfather, the immortal moon king, with only a monkey and a beetle to assist him.

orange wheat fields, turbulent oceans, snow covered hills and forests abounding in wildlife. The original score goes with the setting and the mood of the film beautifully, increasing the efficacy of the emotional moments and the beauty of the animation.

The film is epic in its scale but does not neglect its characters. Kubo and his mother are particularly wellconstructed, adding a dimension of depth and intimacy to the film. Although the plot twists are somewhat predictable, they are sincere and fitting for the story and the mood of the film. The ending is poignant with a moving display of humanity and compassion.

Kubo never tries to do too much or say too much, which advances the themes of sacrifice, family and the immortal power of memory to resonate without feeling staged or forced. Grief and hope are combined to paint a realistic picture of loss and its consequences, but the movie never seems to wallow in its sorrow.

Although marketed as a children’s film, teenagers and adults will find much in “Kubo and the Two Strings” to enjoy and to think about.

The one major problem with “Kubo and the Two Strings” is its casting. Although set in a mythical version of ancient Japan, all of the main voice actors are white. One could argue that this doesn’t matter given that the actors are not seen, only heard, but a movie that draws so heavily on a given culture should do all it can to accurately represent that culture.

Aside from the controversial casting decisions, “Kubo and the Two Strings” is an incredibly powerful film that wonders, entertains and affects. It is not just J54"4%940'")7<%4$%KLMB194: the best animated movie of the year; it is one of the 345#4567#8976:#;8#<=>;?;=6#:59#5@5AB95C#D;94#=# best of the past decade — artfully crafted and lovingly C5E94#94=9#A=E9B658#945#45=698#7<#;98#=BC;5FA58G told.

“Kubo and the Two Strings” is both surreal and yet achingly familiar. It is longing, sweeping, intimate and joyful yet deeply melancholic. Director Travis Knight has taken the quintessential hero’s story and molded it into a story that is truly original in its execution.

Although stop-motion animation is utilized, the images never seem choppy or disconnected. The transitions are gorgeous, showing vast expanses of autumnal

Their debut showcased a carefully honed balance of dark groove and inventive lyrics that lent itself to a cohesive and unique, but almost insular, sound. Instead of falling back into these old patterns, the band used their touring adventures to formulate a new, more expansive concept for their sophomore effort.

The resulting “How To Be A Human Being” is not so different from what the name suggests: a how-to guide for empathy, communicated through a series of vignettes from the perspective of the individuals they encountered in the past three years.

The opening track “Life Itself ” tells the first-person story of a hapless nerd living with rose-colored glasses;

“Season 2, Episode 3” details the life of an endearing stoner girlfriend; the album’s closer “Agnes” is a somber elegy to a drug-tainted love affair.

While this psychological examination in pursuit of empathy may seem high-concept in the abstract, the album communicates its message with charming subtlety.

The band always sounds like they are enjoying making the music, giving us their own sunny and sexy insight into the lives of characters as they drift in and out of the album.

This inclusive subject matter also reveals itself in the sound of the tracks. Glass Animals’ underlying visceral lyrics and funky beats from “Zaba” remain, as each track takes on sensual details and sounds in its storytelling.

Whereas other influences only revealed themselves in slight tremors on “Zaba,” hip-hop rhythms and synth-pop hooks are unapologetic in their appearances in “How To Be A Human Being.”

Admittedly, the album is a less cohesive listen than its predecessor and more eclectic both in subject and sound.

If it is more disjointed, however, it is so for the pursuit of broader, more exploratory horizons.

Warriors” and “Mean Streets.” So we tried to go in that world.

This weekend, Wake Radio had the opportunity to visit Raleigh for the Hopscotch music festival.The festival showcases many different bands from a wide array of genres.

Sylvan Esso On Sept. 10, Sylvan Esso took to the stage at City Plaza, a large outdoor area at the very end of Fayetteville Street, Raleigh’s main downtown attraction.

Sylvan Esso, an electronic group composed of singer Amelia Meath and producer Nick Sanborn, hails from Durham, North Carolina.

Though some of their music is slightly more laid-back and calming in its production, the concert was anything but. The first song began slow, but before long, Sanborn was twisting and turning at his mixer while Amelia danced all across the stage. The juxtaposition of hard-hitting production with Amelia’s smooth vocals lead to a thoroughly enjoyable performance.

Instead of constant excitement and dancing, songs often felt much more like a roller coaster ride where you’re filled with anticipation during each verse until the chorus hit and sent everyone, including Amelia, into a frenzy of dancing and waving.

So far, Sylvan Esso has only released a single studio album from 2014, but their latest single, “Radio,” just came out on Sept. 2 and carries with it the promise of more new music soon.

Beach Slang Beach Slang, a rock band from Philadelphia, brought punk to the Contemporary Art Museum.

The show was high energy from start to finish with James Alex, Beach Slang’s frontman, thrashing about the stage and windmill strumming his guitar the whole show.

The crowd followed in similar fashion with some headbanging and dancing.

Alex’s lyrics are honest, and when he sings, you know he means it. The music was loud and aggressive like punk should be.

Beach Slang also played two songs from their new album, “A Loud Bash of Teenage Feelings” (being released Sept. 23) closing out with their brand new song “Atom Bomb.”

Wake Radio had the opportunity to sit down with James Alex to talk about their new video for “Atom Bomb,” and his experience as a touring musician.

His sweet demeanor contrasts with the aggressive music he plays.

Beach Slang recently released a music video on Sept. 8. Can you tell me a little about that? What was the thinking behind the visual components?

The vintage film gives both music videos a nostalgic feel, and your album is called “A Loud Bash of Teenage Feelings.” Are the videos in any way based on your experiences when you were younger?

You know, I suppose I’m just drawn to that because that’s the stuff I sort of came up with. And I just like things that are tactile, and feel as though they were touched by human hands. To me when things get a little too digitized and auto-tuned, it just sort of massages the soul out of things.

Do you have any advice for young musicians?

I would say this because this is something I’ve learned chasing this crazy thing: romanticize the struggle part of it. Of the songs out in the world, I have maybe have 50, 30? But I’ve written thousands, that were terrible. But there was something in that process. It lets you know you want it.

And it feels deserved when you put the work in. So I would say that. Romanticize the struggle. It’s a necessary and healthy thing to go through.

Boulevards On Friday night, Boulevards, a band from Raleigh, took to the stage at Memorial Auditorium for an incredible performance. Though Boulevards was certainly the lesser-known artist, it impressed with the performance and earned some new fans that night.

Channeling the 80s at their finest, Boulevards’ act is filled with funky rhythms, plenty of dancing and other disco motifs. It didn’t matter that many in the crowd didn’t know enough of the lyrics to sing along to the music, because Boulevards’ energy carried his performance and got much of the crowd dancing alongside him.

At several points they were alongside him as he jumped into the crowd and danced along with the audience. At one point he even created a lane through the crowd where he invited crowd members to “Soul Train It” and dance down the aisle with him.

Boulevards has revived the 80s disco aesthetic to perfection while adding his own new elements to it. His incredible energy and love for the crowd only serves to make his live performances even more exciting.

Anderson .Paak Anderson Paak (often stylized as .Paak to make sure that people are “paying attention to detail”) and his band, The Free Nationals, performed their trademark smooth mix of hip hop, funk and soul for a decidedly energetic crowd at Hopscotch Music festival in Raleigh this weekend.

The songs that the band played came mostly from Paak’s two most recent records: Malibu and Venice. Songs that stood out included “The Season,” a song that features Paak flowing over a melancholy guitar melody and echoing drum beat and the KAYTRANADA track “Glowed Up,” which Paak performed on the producer’s new album, “99.9%.”

The track was a little more electronic than the live feel of the other songs performed during the show, providing a refreshing change of tone and pace.

One interesting moment of the hour-long set came when Paak addressed the lack of diversity in the audience, stating that he had “hoped there would be more black people in the audience.” This does raise some interesting questions about the racial and socioeconomic issues that festivals like Hopscotch still have yet to address.

The majority of the headlining artists at Hopscotch were geared towards a primarily black audience, so why was the crowd filled with mostly white college kids? The affordability and accessibility of music festivals is a dialogue that is often unseen, but Anderson Paak’s performance, through both dynamite music and pointed criticism, brought that to the forefront.

Rainbow Kitten Surprise Their name says it all. Rainbow Kitten Surprise is a surprise on its own as most listeners are unable to correctly guess what genre they are because of their bizarre name. Rainbow Kitten Surprise is a band from Boone, North Carolina that is composed of Sam Melo, Darrick “Bozzy” Keller, Ethan Goodpaster, Jess Haney and Charlie Holt.

In the past year, they have been gaining momentum, especially after their song “Devil Like Me” placed them on two separate Top Hits lists on Spotify.

Their set list adequately represented their different styles of interpreting alternative rock and demonstrated the incredible dynamics that leave listeners craving more of their music.

Melo’s husky voice filled the venue as the band’s powerful melody smoothly weaved together so intricately and organically.

The band’s voice created a balance between husky and overtly excited, an incomparable work of music that almost creates a genre on its own.

Melo hugged individuals and even pulled them in close to sing into their ears. It was as if he was performing for each individual, giving them a personal concert which left most people in awe of the artist and his performance.

Rainbow Kitten Surprise is a fitting name as it captures the essence of the band: the energy they exude, the intimacy of their songs and the surprise that each song holds.

We worked with this filmmaker from Los Angeles named Jason Lester who’s just brilliant. And he came and sort of pitched this idea about romance and turmoil. In interviews, I often talk about how Beach Slang celebrates human flaws.

And then we thought of two films that we drew inspiration from, which are “The
