On Monday Sept. 23, Student Government President, Jacqueline Sutherland, announced that weekly shuttles will now run from Benson Circle to the popular off-campus bar, The Last Resort on Thursday nights between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m.

The shuttles will begin running this Thursday, Sept. 26 and are expected to run

throughout the school year.

Sutherland made shuttles to and from Last Resort part of her platform for her campaign for president after exploring the idea as head of the campus life committee last year. “It was something that I talked to a couple stu-

Shorty’s new menu has caused customers to walk out, sales to sink and employees to quit.

For a restaurant where long wait times were the norm, Shorty’s thin crowds and empty tables is an atmosphere no one recognizes.

“There used to be a wait all the time,” said Shorty’s waitress, Jasmine Harvey. “Now people sit down, look at the menu front and back trying to find where the rest of it is and then walk out.”

Shorty’s, the only sit-down restaurant currently on campus, recently reconstructed its menu.

According to John Wise, assistant vice president of hospitality services, the changes are to provide a better balance amongst the growing on campus dining options.

This behind-the-scenes decision with Aramark aims to decrease the chance of replicat-

The widely criticized new menu at Shorty’s has led to a sharp decline in business and sparked frustration among students towards the restaurant. See Shorty’s, Page 5

“ Our Values” University is not “Living This column represents the views of the Old Gold & Black Editorial Board.

In an administrative report published Aug. 18, 2010, the university announced new initiatives meant to encourage a safer social scene for the community.

The report, entitled “Living Our Values,” laid out the university’s plans to create safe, new venues for students on campus that could be used as alternatives to fraternity houses for social events.

“Although we may not be able to completely eliminate the risks of college life, we can facilitate the conditions needed by students to engage in reasonably safe social activities,” the report said.

The primary result of these plans thus far has been the construction of the Barn in 2011, which was initially met with positive reviews from students as a convenient location for on-campus parties. But as we reported in last week’s edition of the Old Gold & Black, new restrictions on student use of the Barn have significantly diminished interest in using the venue.

After the recent implementation of the three-year residency requirement, students

have expressed feelings of betrayal by an administration that seems to be hell-bent on reducing the number of parties all together instead of simply making the social events safer.

And while the report claimed that the administration planned to “expand incentives for hosting lounge parties,” no such significant incentives have been presented to leaders of Greek organizations and other student groups.

Furthermore, the report also said that the administration would be “establishing a fund to reasonably defray the difference in cost between hosting a party off campus and on campus.”

But instead the university still charges the organization a fee for registering a party in a lounge.

The editorial board of the Old Gold & Black believes that the administration has misled the students of the university, leading us to believe that their intentions were only to create safer opportunities to hold parties and other social events.

The administration has misled the students of the university, leading us to believe that their intentions were only to create safer opportunities.

In reality, it has become clear that the agenda of the administration is to regulate and unfairly dis-incentivize parties, a fundamental aspect of the college experience.

We believe that if the university would loosen its restrictions on venues like the Barn, student organizations would be more eager to use it, and if real incentives were applied to encourage lounge parties, Greek organizations would have a real reason to keep their events on campus.

In 2010 a tent located in Waterfall Field near Reynolda Village was set up for organizations to hold social events. It was wildly popular with underclassmen.

The Barn was theoretically a permanent replacement for the tent. However, its success was short-lived.

This state-of-the-art building should be used for more social events since it is larger than fraternity lounges and is safer than offcampus houses. Students will always find ways to socialize off-campus despite the administration’s restrictions.

While we appreciate the university’s concern for our well-being, it oversteps its authority in trying to regulate our private social lives.

The university cannot expect to monitor off-campus social events and for longstanding practices such as the system of designated driving to disappear over night.

Attempting to dictate the social setting will hinder students’ personal growth and edification.

If Wake Forest truly wants to educate the whole person, then the administration should not try to limit our opportunities to socially develop.

Therefore, if their goal is truly to create a safer environment for students, we would encourage administrators to begin enacting policies that are fair and reasonable.

Deacon Profile: Jake Ruddiman

BY CHRIS FORD Staff Writer fordct11@wfu.edu

Jake Ruddiman is an assistant professor in the history department at Wake Forest University. He received his bachelor’s degree from Princeton University in 2000 before receiving both his masters and doctoral degrees from Yale University. He recently finished writing his first book, Becoming Men of Some Consequence: Youth and Military Service in the Revolutionary War. Can you describe your journey to Wake Forest?

I graduated in 2000 from Princeton, which was pretty close to where I grew up in New Jersey. I then trucked off to Yale for grad school, starting in 2001, and I made my way through graduate training as my wife was making her way through medical school and residencies.

She was kind enough to apply to residency programs in cities with colonial archives, so my work on the Revolutionary War has been heavily shaped by the archives I’ve been to — New York, Boston, some stuff down here and some stuff in DC. And I got here in the summer of 2010.

Was there a moment when you discovered that history was what you loved to study?

I had always loved reading history. I loved my history courses in college. It was my senior thesis project that turned me onto research and really took my writing to another level. It kind of showed me all the things I didn’t know.

It was a great experience. I hadn’t taken any courses in American history, but there was this one professor who I really wanted to work with, John Murrin. He’s one of the leading lights in the field of colonial American history and American revolutionary history and I really wanted him to direct my project.

I ended up writing an essay on American reactions to the French Revolution in the 1790s. It was just so fun working with the newspapers and with letter collections and trying to make sense of how these people viewed their world.

And I was like, “Okay, great! I want to go to graduate school. I want to keep doing this.” And I found in graduate school that I loved the teaching as much as I loved the research. That’s the arc.

Are you currently working on a research project?

I am finishing up a book — my first book.

It’s called Becoming Men of Some Consequence: Youth and Military Service in the Revolutionary War. I just presented a book talk that gave an overview and offered a case study from within.

The project is about how young men in revolutionary America viewed and experienced long-term military service, particularly in the Continental Army. And it’s all wrapped in the aspirations for full membership in the community, manliness and their concepts of political ideas in terms of the revolution.

I came to this story because the sources for the American Revolution are so broad and the sources have been so well preserved, it’s exciting. It’s exciting that this is starting to really look like a book. I’ve gotten great advice from my colleagues here. I love bouncing ideas off of students. Any time I’m not really sure what something means, it’s like, bring it to a colleague, put it out in front of a classroom, and we can kind of puzzle through it together. It’s a lot of fun.

What’s the value of studying history?

When we study the past, we realize how hard it is to figure out what was going on, what caused what, and it forces us to ask moral questions like, “How could they have done that?” or “how did they think that that was okay?” — slavery, patriarchy, expropriation of land. And if we can think that way about the past, we then have a better shot at thinking that way about the present, which is what we don’t understand about our own time in terms of causality, structures, relationships. And then that moral question: “What’s going on right now that in a hundred years people are going to look back and say, ‘what was wrong with them?’”

[The past] should make us humble. I tell my students that when we look at the past we shouldn’t feel self-righteous and we shouldn’t pat ourselves on the back because we’re better than these people. We are where we are because of what these people did and the mistakes they made.

History is worth studying because it makes us know what we don’t know about ourselves and if it doesn’t make you humble about your own moral certitudes, you’re doing it wrong. And that’s why the study of history keeps changing because our moral questions keep changing and our own structures keep changing.

History classes teach you how to turn stories, propaganda and disjointed facts into data and to turn that data into evidence.

And then to use that evidence in an argument to show people the purpose of your

point. There’s so much more than facts and dates.

What would you say is the most important date in American history?

What do you do in your free time?

When’s Columbus Day? October 12, 1492? That’s probably the most important date in human history. I should put a Revolutionary War date down, but I really think it’s a date we celebrate as Columbus Day — and celebrate isn’t the right word.

Let me tell you about Hildy the dog. She’s a dear companion who likes students. I play a bit of golf, I like hiking, running. I really like Winston-Salem.

If I had a message to students it’s that there are fun things downtown. What are we [adults] doing that students aren’t getting to do?

I don’t know what the magic formula is, but there are cool things downtown. I can’t imagine that it could only be cool to someone who’s 35 or older. It’s wonderful to be making a home here in Winston. It’s really neat to be able to share this community with you all.

Is there advice you wish you could tell your undergraduate self?

Do all the reading. You get out what you put in. But I don’t think college Jake would listen to me, regretting to do all the reading. I’ve gone back to books that I’ve read in graduate school and in college and you get different things out of books when you read them at different points in your life.

Shuttles: students pleased with new transportation Continued from Page 1

government people about last year,” Sutherland said. “I had heard a lot of students talking about Last Resort on Thursday nights and how they wished that there was sort of a better means to get there.”

Sutherland also wanted to initiate a shuttle to Last Resort to address safety concerns for students. “I have heard how a lot of people had been sort of in unsafe situations in terms of drivers that may or may not have been drinking earlier in the night and things like that,” said Sutherland. “So I knew that it was sort of a problem getting there and back and that there was a lot of student demand for [a shuttle].”

Other members of Student Government agree that the Last Resort shuttles are a beneficial addition to the shuttle line that will provide a needed service on campus and give students a safe choice for transportation. “All of us in student government believe that this is a valuable resource for our entire student body,” said senior Alex Haddock, the head of the physical planning committee. “Students will be able to enjoy a night at Last Resort without worrying about how to get back to campus.

This new shuttle will greatly increase the safety of transportation to and from Last Resort. We are hoping that this will reduce the trend of packing excessive numbers of

people into designated driver cars. Not only is this a great way to get a ticket, but it is a very dangerous mode of transportation for our students.”The high demand for safe and reliable transportation to the popular offcampus social venue inspired, Sutherland to create a proposal for the shuttles for Alex Crist, the director of parking and transportation. Then Sutherland and Crist met last Friday, Sept. 20 to discuss the proposal and after discussing the logistics and the time frame for the project, Crist approved the new shuttle. “[Crist] is excited as well, because his job is to make sure students use the shuttles and benefit from them,” said Sutherland. “He agrees that it will be good to sort of redirect a shuttle for a good student purpose.”

Students outside of student government are also pleased with the new shuttle service. “I think that student government is obviously paying attention to what students want,” said junior Alison Caliguire.

Other students agree with Haddock and Sutherland, in that the shuttles promote safety. “I think it’s really good to do because it promotes safety on campus,” said sophomore Emma Dolgos. “And it give people an easier option [to get to Last Resort] if they decide to use it.” However other students feel that the new shuttle does not go far enough because it does not service offcampus apartment buildings.

Many students were thrilled with the recent announcement that the university would begin offering a new shuttle to the Last Resort. no underage students after 11 p.m.,” said senior Anoushka Yousuf. “Although the shuttle is definitely a step in the right direction to prevent drunk driving, it would be improved by stopping at major apartment complexes like the Crownes or Deacon’s Station, where seniors, who are the main patrons of Last Resort, live.”

If the shuttle to Last Resort is successful, shuttles to other bars in Winston-Salem may be a possibility. Haddock and other members of the physical planning committee are currently working on revamping the downtown shuttle line. “This initiative is actually where most of our attention is focused right

now,” Haddock said. “We will be working alongside Jacqueline to implement both of these new shuttle systems. Currently, the downtown shuttle runs Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights from 9:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. We feel that the current list of stops is outdated and that the time tables are not clear to students at all.” The physical planning committee is working on adding new stops, like stops at downtown hot spots Tate’s and Old Winston Social Club.

In the coming weeks, Haddock, along with the co-chair of physical planning, junior Chester Bedell, will be working with Sutherland to further explain and publicize

Shorty’s: Student favorites no longer served Continued from Page 1

ing options offered on campus; however, items unique to Shorty’s are no longer offered, including some organic options.

“Shorty’s was the only place on campus that had grass-fed beef,” senior Hannah Rogers said. “I would go to Shorty’s specifically for that and now that it’s gone I probably won’t go there.”

According to a Shorty’s employee, since the menu change, the restaurant has experienced a major decrease in sales and loyal staff are feeling the effects where it hurts most — fewer customers means less tips. Two workers have already left since the new menu was introduced and others are talking about leaving.

“I’m a Shorty’s fan, I love my job and I love my students but a lot of people are leaving and it’s sad,” said Harvey. “Our manager said we’re here to make the students happy but the students aren’t happy.”

According to Wise, the new menu evolved from analyzing historical purchases.

“Students were not involved specifically in this exact menu development but people spoke about the history of what they ordered at Shorty’s,” Wise said.

As the third new menu in the past three years, the current menu now offers a smaller variety of options, appeals to less people and has resulted in harsh criticism from both customers and employees.

Items such as the Freschetta burger, hummus platter, buffalo chicken wrap and South of the Border burger were removed.

“I don’t even want to eat here anymore,” Harvey said.

On Buzzocracy, a social media site where students can voice complaints on issues at their universities, Wake Forest students have posted multiple threads expressing their criticism of the menu. The most common complaint is that their favorite menu item has vanished.

“They took away the menu that everyone liked,” said Harvey. “The new menu had the best interest at heart, to offer students a change, but it backfired.”

In response to the numerous complaints, Wise posted on Buzzocracy to inform students that Shorty’s is offering specials throughout the month of September. These specials include items that were removed. However, the specials are not offered on weekends.

“We’re not going to add all the items back, but some [specials] will stand out more obviously than others as we look at revising the menu and adding items back,” Wise said.

“The bigger the menu, the more workspace you need, which makes it harder for the staff to prepare food efficiently and to provide faster service.”

With the menu and service being interrelated, the new menu aims to enhance the speed of service, but with the lack of traffic this strategy may or may not work. By offering specials, Shorty’s has the opportunity to draw in customers, but it remains to be seen whether this will earn them back their regulars.

Biology department faces funding hurdles New regulations from the National Science Foundation complicate the application process for research funds

BY LAURA MAZURAK Staff Writer mazulk11@wfu.edu After an overhaul of the National Science Foundation’s grant proposal process, professors in Wake Forest’s biology department are navigating a new application structure in a climate of reduced funding.

The National Science Foundation, or NSF, is just one of a host of federal agencies that has seen a reduction in funds due to the fiscal year 2013 budget crisis. After Congress failed to reach a budget agreement in 2011, federally funded programs and agencies were hit by $85.4 billion in automatic cuts for 2013, known as the sequester. The NSF has seen a 5 percent funding reduction in the second half of fiscal year 2013.

The NSF is a major sponsor of scientific research in the U.S. and accounts for 20 percent of federal support for academic research. The NSF can contribute hundreds of thousands towards one project, which means research opportunities are limited.

“Virtually everyone in the department was funded by the NSF at one point or another,” said professor Gerald Esch, a 40year veteran of the biology department.

The altered structure of NSF grant applications has been the biggest adjustment for Wake faculty. Prior to the January 2013

overhaul, a 15-page application could be submitted twice a year. Approximately 15 to 20 percent of applications would receive grants after ad hoc reviews and vetting by an NSF-appointed panel, said Michael Anderson, a professor who specializes in savanna ecology.

Now applications are a two-step process and can only be submitted once a year.

Step one involves a five-page pre-proposal; around 18 percent survive the first round of reviews. The selected pre-proposals are sent back to be transformed into more detailed 15-page applications. Stage two proposals have a 25 to 30 percent acceptance rate, so only 6 percent of all grant proposals are funded under the new system.

According to Anderson, researchers are still figuring out the restructured application process.“We’re all struggling to understand what the NSF is looking for in the pre-proposal,” Anderson said.

Gloria Muday, another Wake biology professor, served on the NSF panel earlier this year to learn more about the new application process. While she understands the value of the shorter pre-proposal — initially less writing — its brevity also proves difficult.

“It’s very challenging because you have to abbreviate your ideas,” Muday said. “[The new system] selects for projects that are simple or people who are really good at explaining them.”

Erik Johnson, an assistant professor of biology, is in proposal limbo: his submission made it through stage one, now he’s waiting to hear back about stage two. But Johnson’s

Sarah Moran/Old Gold & Black

After a round of devastating federal budget cuts, the biology department is facing new challenges in trying to apply for research funds. not overly optimistic; in the past two years he’s had highly rated proposals go unfunded — and that was before the budget cuts. “If you don’t get funding, you have to make the necessary changes to your project,” Johnson said. “You just have to move on.”

When funding doesn’t come through, salaries are the first thing to go. Professors, while paid by their university for the nine months spent teaching, are expected to earn additional income through research grants.

Without outside funding, this faculty payment model fails. Fewer grants also equate to fewer research assistants and pay cuts for graduate students.

“You have to be less ambitious, hire fewer people,” Muday said. While some projects

can be simplified by buying fewer cultures or laying off research assistants, other professors’ research areas are inherently expensive and simply can’t move forward without sufficient funding.

Between plane tickets and research permits, it costs Anderson $6,000 just to reach his project site in Tanzania. Muday, who studies gene expression, said one experiment in a four-year project costs $72,000.

Without NSF grants, the research of many professors’ is at stake. Despite fewer grants, professors are reluctant to blame the NSF for what is viewed as a by-product of the federal budget crisis.

“The ultimate reality is that there isn’t enough money,” Johnson said.

Activist provides insight into food sustainability Former vice presidential candidate speaks to students about food and energy sustainability

BY DI CHUNG Staff Writer chundl0@wfu.edu Amidst growing concerns over the world’s remaining oil supply, rising food prices and earth’s growing population, activist Winona LaDuke addressed a crowd of students Sept.

23, offering potential solutions to the vari-

ous sustainability issues facing the planet.

LaDuke, a member of the Mississippi band of Anishinaabe, currently resides in the White Earth Reservation in northern Minnesota.

As the founder of Honor the Earth and the White Earth Land Recovery Project, she has dedicated much of her life to protecting the living conditions and land rights of Native Americans and supporting the work of native environmental groups.

As she arrived at the podium, LaDuke began describing the different moons of the Anishinaabe tradition — the white snow crust moon, the broken snowshoe moon,

Winona LaDuke, an activist and former vice presidential candidate, presented her thoughts on the sustainability crisis facing the international community.

the wild-rice moon and the list continues.

She paused and said, “Did you notice that none of those moons were named after a Roman emperor?”

Many students recognized that this was no ordinary perspective. “We don’t often get to talk to people from reservations. It was great to learn the history from a Native American and also, to see a different perspective on white men,” said sophomore Andrea Becker.

LaDuke found three major problems with our current society: climate change, peak oil and food security.

The Anishinaabe teach that we’re all related, that things can be alive and have spirituality, that we must always consider our impact and that the supreme authority is the “creator’s law.”

“When you make decisions today, they are not just for now but have long term implications,” LaDuke said. “We have a perception that man’s laws are higher than the creator’s laws and so, we end up in a situation where hundreds of thousands of chemicals are in the environment but we don’t realize how they all impact us.”

One aspect that frustrated LaDuke most was the extreme behaviors enacted upon by our industrial society when we cannot address problems. “You do things like blow off the top of 500 mountains,” she pointed out. “This is what happens when you have an addiction.”

In terms of our food economy, LaDuke noted that much of our food is controlled by fewer and fewer corporations, travels from great distances and are overwhelmingly genetically modified such that we decrease biodiversity. Even how we prepare

our food indicates a change in our behavior.

“A lot of kids don’t even know how to cook anymore,” LaDuke said. “They just know how to heat it.”

She shared a story about the importance of the white corn for the Pawnees to show that it is possible to restore local food economy. As a local food grower herself, she believes that if her community can do it, everyone else as well. For LaDuke, it is not only about growing local food economy, but also growing food that is tough and has a high value.

“A lot of what was covered today resonated with my classes,” senior Pam Clough said. “We learn a lot about GMOs (genetically modified organisms) and organics from our nutrition textbooks, but she said that the heirloom varieties were more nutritional, which was interesting. It was cool to get another opinion on the matter.”

As for energy, LaDuke noted that we are “incredibly inefficient” and that we need to shift our mindset to making a positive change. In concluding her talk, LaDuke emphasized that we should not base the value of our life on a level of income or GNP (gross national product). Rather, we should focus on how we can create a happier community and overall better world.

Some students understood that LaDuke’s talk was also a call to action.

“It was a deeply moving and convicting talk that called for our generation to move to action rather than to just sit around and complain,” senior Baley Stinson said.

“You could sit here and pretend that someone else is going to do it,” LaDuke said. “But as my culture says, ‘you’re either at the table or on the menu.’”

Student organizations’ budgeting questioned Students debate the merits of paying Executive members ofStudentGovernment salaries that come directly from university tuition dollars

BY ANNIE JOHNSON Life Editor johnae0@wfu.edu “It may be their business, but the students ought to know about it.” This statement from senior Megan Werner highlights the nature of a little known fact — Student Government (SG) pays their executives.

Student Government executives are paid a yearly salary. In an email last semester, former SG Treasurer Storm Saponaro said that Student Government spends approximately 8 percent of its total budget on salaries.

The SG Constitution outlines the specific pay schedule for each position; $1,700 for the president, and $1,200 each for the speaker of the house, secretary, and treasurer and $850 for the chief of staff, who is appointed by the president. The salaries are subject to future change, although they haven’t in several years said Treasurer Will Readhead. The respective salaries are paid quarterly.

In an interview last semester, the former Speaker of the House Cleo Johnson explained why SG chooses to pay their executive board. “First, SG executives put in a lot of time, and working as an exec often means you cannot hold another job on campus,” said Johnson.

“One of the goals of the payments is to allow you to

hold an executive office even if your parents cannot support you financially.”

Johnson viewed Student Government as a job, not just a volunteer position. She added that the heightened level of responsibility contributes to a more productive Student Government.

By contrast, Student Union (SU), a group that is also high-profile and works equally hard to benefit this campus, chooses not to pay their leadership.

The money for Student Union is allocated by the Division of Student Life so they report directly to that office. Despite the different source of funding, SU chooses to spend their budget elsewhere.

“Although it begrudges me to say, I honestly don’t think we should be paid for what we do,” said Stephanie Jack, the former president of Student Union. “Student Union is about the passion for campus activities and making Wake Forest a better place. Monetary incentives would completely ruin the work we do. Our incentive is to make students happy.”

Instead, Student Union puts that money towards more programming, which the entire campus can enjoy said Emily Biddle, the SU vice president of administration. For them, the decision to not to pay executives is a difference of motive, not ability.

In an effort to explain where organization’s budgets come from, James Shore, the assistant vice president for budget and financial planning, said the university sets aside money in its unrestricted fund to help contribute to student life. “[The university] is fairly dependent on net tuition and fees (gross tuition minus

financial aid), therefore you could say that the student organization’s budgets are funded in large part from undergraduate net tuition and fees,” said Shore.

“I didn’t know SG executives got paid but SU ones don’t. I think they both deserve to be compensated for their hard work, but I don’t think I should be paying for someone else to participate in an extracurricular activity,” said senior Hannah Rudder.

According to Readhead, approximately $600,000 was taken from this fund to be allocated for the 2014 fiscal year. This money is put in the hands of the Student Budget Advisory Committee (SBAC) that carefully distributes the money amongst 112 chartered student groups.

The SBAC is headed by the Student Government treasurer with eight other SG representatives.

They set limits on what budget money can and cannot be spent on, in order to ensure that beneficiaries are being held fiscally accountable. For example, SBAC will subsidize advertising materials and equipment rentals, but will not subsidize T-shirts or airfare.

In addition, all organizations have the ability to pay their executives members should they choose, but not many do. “It makes me question whether or not we should be paying for extracurriculars,” said Werner.

“We don’t pay athletes, Greek life members or other hard working groups. It just doesn’t seem fair.”

In the interest of full disclosure, the Old Gold & Black Editorial Board is also paid a salary based on the ad revenue of the paper and the writers are paid per article out of the university issued budget.

Senator speaks for 19 hours in New Iranian president calls for opposition to healthcare reform peace with the United States Republican Sen. Ted Cruz from Texas took the senate floor for hours in order to halt the funding for the Affordable Care Act. Cruz took the floor at 2:41 p.m. and continued for more than 19 hours with the intent to “speak against Obamacare until I am no longer able to stand.”

Cruz was not be able to prevent the Senate from voting to end debate on the House proposal, but he was able to speak through the night and draw attention to the issue.

House members returned on Wednesday, but won’t be able to do much until Senate sends back a revised version of the bill, which might be as late as Sunday. This would make the House act quickly to avoid a government shutdown Oct. 1.

Hassan Rouhani, the new President of Iran, arrived in New York Sept. 23 for the annual session of the United Nations General Assembly. In his first appearance at the UN as Iran’s president, Rouhani pledged that his nation would never develop nuclear weapons. In an interview with CNN, Rouhani called for constructive negotiations between the U.S. and Iran.

Although Rouhani did not meet with President Obama while in New York, he did express his desire to lower tensions between the two countries. Secretary of State John Kerry will meet with the Iranian Foreign Minister at the UN later this week to discuss further steps towards peace.

Affordable Care Act’s health care exchanges open Oct. 1

By Oct. 1, most states will launch their health insurance exchanges, giving people the option of purchasing a healthcare policy that will take effect in January. After the exchanges open, people will be able to purchase their own policy despite any pre-existing condition. Low income individuals will receive significant subsidies from the federal government to help them gain insurance at little or no cost.

Other parts of the Affordable Care Act that have already taken effect include the provision that allows young adults to remain on their parents plans until they reach age 26 as well as the employer mandate that requires businesses to provide coverage for their employees.

“ shut down gov.

Republicans, do not Ho Knows | Congress

Shut down of government does not act in the best interest of Republican party John Ho

Guest Columnist hojs0@wfu.edu

As October 1 arrives, the threat of a government shutdown becomes more of a reality every day, Congressional Republicans have a hard choice on which direction they are going to take.

This choice underscores the severe factionalism that is dividing the Republican Party. One strategy involves compromising with the Democrats on a resolution to raise the debt ceiling.

However, this strategy will leave federal funding in place for President Obama’s signature achievement, the Affordable Care

Act and will alienate more hardcore conservatives.

While this strategy is supported by more moderate Republicans such as Senator John McCain (R-Az) and last year’s nominee Mitt Romney, the Tea Party opposes this action.

The Tea Party faction led by far right Senators Rand Paul (R-Ky) and Ted Cruz (R-Tx) are leading the push for a comprehensive reform of government entitlements and spending that will defund Obamacare.

Both men, who are rising contenders for the 2016 election, insist that they would rather see the government shut down instead of Obamacare becoming fully implemented.

As a center right Independent who tends to vote for Republicans more often than not, I urge the Republican Party to pass a resolution to raise the debt ceiling, even if Obamacare is still in place The likelihood of a resolution passing the Senate that defunds Obamacare is unlikely.

In the Senate there are currently 45 Republicans, 53 Democrats, and two Independents who caucus with the Democrats.

A resolution defunding Obamacare would thus require the votes of 15 Demo-

If the Republican Party wants to effectively oppose the President, then it should wait until after the 2014 midterm elections.

cratic Senators in order to proceed to final passage.

Besides being unrealistic, the consequences of a government shutdown would not only be disastrous for the economy’s slow but steady recovery; it would also be politically toxic for the Republican Party brand.

Even though Obamacare is unpopular right now, as only 39 percent of respondents of a CNN/ORC poll favor most or all of the law, most people would still blame the Republican Party if the government shuts down.

In the same poll, 51 percent of respondents would blame the Republicans for a shutdown.

This number is even more of a cause for concern when taken into fact that 53 percent of Independents in the poll would blame the GOP for a government shutdown, while only about a third of independents would blame the president.

Because of this, the political fallout that would result would be catastrophic for the GOP. Many political analysts believe that the only way for the Republican Party to lose the House of Representatives in next year’s midterm elections, is for something dramatic to happen, such as a shutdown.

Averting a government shutdown, would all but ensure a Republican House majority after 2014.

The Republicans also stand to gain a substantial amount of seats in the Senate and possibly the majority, as most seats up for grab run through states Mitt Romney won last year. However, this advantage could be void if a shutdown happens.

If the Republican Party wants to effectively oppose the President, then it should wait until after the 2014 midterm elections, when a Republican House and Senate Majority are sworn in. Republicans must learn from 1996 when the Congressional Republicans, led by Newt Gingrich, shutdown the government for 28 days in 1996.

This ultimately proved disastrous for them politically and was a big catalyst for Bill Clinton’s successful re-election that year.

Ade Ilesanmi Staff Columnist ilesao11@wfu.edu

An otherwise obsolete national event became once again culturally relevant after Nina Davuluri became the first Indian American woman to be crowned Miss America in the pageant’s 92-year long history.

The news gained both positive and negative media attention, as many stormed to Twitter in admonition of a “terrorist” or 7-11 sales clerk defiling their antiquated and ignorance-ridden notions of “all-American” citizens.

Many others, however, stood in her defense, calling her an inspiration for all women.

Miss America with one arm, that would not have stirred as much controversy, breached as many cultural barriers, and shed light onto how differently Americans view what it means to be American, as hers did.

Davuluri’s victory is multidimensional in its relevance and importance, as various populations are already reaping benefits from it.

This Miss America pageant, for instance, not to be confused with the Miss USA pageant owned by Donald Trump, is not historically affiliated with the Miss Universe pageant.

The crowning of an Indian-American Miss America, one who intends to visit India during her reign, provides the Miss America organization with an international ambassador and, thus, international relevance once again.

The controversy surrounding Davuluri has also become international.

The victor stated in an interview with the Washington Post that her odds of even winning a Miss India pageant would be slim

The importance of Davuluri’s victory cannot be limited to the fact that she’s the “first this” or the “first that.” because of her dark skin, and as a result, her victory has met some opposition from abroad as well.

The idea that fair skin is more beautiful than dark skin has damaged the psyches of girls and women of every culture imaginable.

This what makes Davuluri an important role model for not only Indian-American women, but also all American women of color and European-American women, who also suffer from an obsession with tan versus pale skin.

She hopes to align herself with the Dark is Beautiful campaign during her reign as Miss America.

Moreover, Davuluri’s ambitions to become a medical doctor make an important statement for women — beauty and intelligence are not and should never be considered mutually exclusive qualities.

In an age when most beauty pageants are only gaining attention for contestants who provide air-headed answers to questions concerning current events or for exploiting

young girls, here rises a phoenix from the ashes of cultural decay.

In the midst of performing all of her new duties and facing ongoing backlash from the quintessential “haters” of society, she manages to find time to work on her medical school applications and to respond to all of the hate, with grace and poise, nonetheless.

It goes without saying (but I’ll say it anyway), that Davuluri’s victory only reaffirms and strengthens the once poignant definition of “American,” that has been buried under the filth and debris of gun culture, high obesity and divorce rates, tobaccoand-alcohol-related diseases, national debt, racism, pro-this and anti-that — all these negatives that have been developed into images of what was once a world leader in people’s minds.

We have since lost sight of the notion that to be American is to be hardworking.

To be American is to be different.

To be American is to be culturally aware, understanding and accepting.

Above all else, to be American is to be ready and willing to face the inevitable challenges that come with being, ironically enough, American. Miss America, Miss Davuluri, reminds us that we can do all this with dignity and class.

In short, a BlackBerry did just enough to keep me connected, without complicating things. iPhones and Androids have too many options, and while my mother could handle a BlackBerry just fine, it took her a year to figure out how to take a selfie.

Maybe not everyone is better off with a super high-tech fancy phone that could do it all.

If it texts, gets email and makes calls, do we really need much else?

So rest in peace, Brick Breaker.

May that flashing red light in the corner never go out in our hearts.

Above all, here’s to the BlackBerry Messenger, the greatest form of communication. Smartphones will never be the same.

So in memory of the greatest phone I ever had, I will now be changing my email signature to “Sent From My BlackBerry.”

It’s what my phone would have wanted.

Sad news hit the technology market earlier this week and I have yet to recover.

Research in Motion, creators of the BlackBerry smartphone, is being sold off, and there will be no further cellphone production.

While most people have already made the switch to Android or iPhones, unfortunately including myself, BlackBerry users are devastated.

I had planned to purchase a new BlackBerry when my current contract expired, but with the company ceasing to make phones, the end of an era is here.

There’s nothing wrong with the current phones out there. In many ways, there are a lot of areas that BlackBerry just wasn’t good at. For the purposes that I used it for, my Berry was perfect.

Now this was a phone.

A phone that you could run through the washing machine and it would still kind of work.

A phone that you could accidently throw out your car window, and aside from a few scratches, it would be just fine. (Not that I ever did either of those things.)

But if I had, my BlackBerry would have been just fine.

I was so attached to my BlackBerry that it truly had become a part of me.

The keyboard may have made obvious noises, but at least autocorrect wasn’t an issue.

Listening to music may not have been that easy, but at least we didn’t walk around with our headphones in all the time.

Yes, the company may have been kept largely afloat by Capitol Hill staffers and businessmen, but that made owning a BlackBerry even cooler.

A personal hero of mine, ESPN and Grantland writer Bill Simmons, still uses a BlackBerry. The thought, while highly unlikely, that we could one day be BBM friends was just the most exciting thing.

I was once connected with Diplo, half of the producing team Major Lazer, and I thought I was pretty cool.

I never spoke with him, but I could have if I really wanted to, and that was good enough for me.

As the millions of devoted Blackberry users dwindled at a growing pace, I will always remember the day I was forced to get an iPhone.

Just two weeks before the Z10, now known as the billion dollar phone, was released, my old BlackBerry bricked.

I cried at the AT&T store when I was forced to make the switch to Apple. To date, I am the only person who cried tears of sadness when getting a brand new iPhone — and while that may sound spoiled, I was so attached to my BlackBerry that it truly had become a part of me.

It made me seem more professional and grownup; while everyone else was sending Snapchats, I was pretending to work on Excel spreadsheets.

It was just enough technology for someone like me, who has been known to short-circuit laptop keyboards, get gum stuck in the computer fan, break CD drives and reformat an entire network because of technological issues.

Putting the “student” back in student-athlete Even with all of the controversy surrounding college athletics, educational value has not been lost

BY NICK WELDON Sports Editor weldnr11@wfu.edu

In recent years, the concept of the student-athlete has begun to deteriorate with the athlete component now dwarfing the student component. Players like Johnny Manziel dominate sports headlines as debates rage over the changing nature of college athletics. But even amidst this nationwide culture shift, some college athletes haven’t forgotten what it means to be a student.

During her time on the Wake Forest women’s soccer team, Jackie Logue racked up an impressive list of accomplishments. As a three-year captain and fouryear starter, she finished her career as the program’s all-time leader in games played. The Mount Laurel, N.J., native was selected to the ACC All-Freshman Team in 2009 and twice was a member of an NSCAA All-Region Team.

“She was a phenomenal representative of Wake athletics,” her former head coach Tony da Luz said. “Everything she did, she did the right way.”

While her awards as a player are extensive, perhaps more incredible is the work she completed off the field. She was the only member of the team participat-

ing in the business school’s five-year accountancy program. Of the 71 student-athletes that received degrees this past May, only three others received their B.S. in Accountancy — Tom Finneran, Garret Drogosch and Jack Schemper.

“I was hesitant about doing accounting with soccer at first,” Logue said. “I started out as a BEM major but decided to try the first intermediate accounting course during the fall of my junior year. It was hard at times, but accounting kind of came naturally to me. I switched my major right after that.”

After the switch, Logue was still named to the AllACC Academic Team and Honor Roll for her junior year, just like she had been the two previous years. She earned both distinctions once again after her senior campaign, becoming just the second player in team history to be a four-time member of the Academic Team.

Her commitment to academics was never in question, but during her senior year, the former defender was faced with a difficult decision.

The Western New York Flash selected Logue in the fourth round of the inaugural National Women’s Soccer League Draft. With the league beginning in March, Logue would need to skip the spring semester and fifth year of her program, or at the very least delay it.

“Some girls who went to bigger state schools were able to complete classes online while they trained, but that wasn’t an option at Wake,” Logue said. “At the end of my final season I started to get injured a lot;

Deacons hit the ground running in win over Army Wake snaps two game skid with its first road victory of the season

ILB Mike Olson (middle) and CB Merrill Noel track down Army RB Terry Baggett in last weekend’s win.

With powerhouse Clemson and ACC play looming on the horizon, the Demon Deacons were treading on thin ice after their heartbreaking 21-19 loss to ULM on Sept. 14.

But if there was any way for the team to come back from a performance as sloppy as that one, this was it.

Saturday’s 25-11 victory over the Army Black Knights marked the Deacs’ best ground game of the

season, with 228 yards rushing — only 31 yards shy of their rushing total over the first three games. “[The running game] was the difference really,’’ said head coach Jim Grobe. “If we don’t get that going, we’re in trouble.’’

To be fair, there were a few reminders in Saturday’s game that the Demon Deacons have not put all of their early season struggles behind them.

The offense gave up a safety to give the Black Knights the first lead of the game, and the defense gave up a 51-yard rush that helped lead to an Army field goal at the end of the first half, almost immediately after the Deacs had gone up 10-2.

The Deacons also cost themselves at least 6-10 points with a missed chip shot field goal and an interception in the end zone.

So it may not have been pretty, but a win’s a win. Fortunately, several Demon Deacons had standout individual performances that drew attention away from the aforementioned errors.

The team was anchored once again by its stalwart defense, led by senior nose guard Nikita Whitlock, who had a career-high 14 tackles, including a career-high tying three tackles behind the line of scrimmage.

Senior linebacker Mike Olson was behind Whitlock with 10 tackles, putting him in the double digits for the second straight week.

Sophomore Hunter Williams had a career-high eight tackles and the first two fumble recoveries of his career. Seniors A.J. Marshall and

Justin Jackson

BY ANNE HART Contributing Writer hartal13@wfu.edu

Redshirt Senior

Personally, I would like to make a good impression on scouts to get an opportunity to play in the NFL.

A redshirt senior from Rockingham, N.C., Justin Jackson continues to make a significant impact on the field for the Demon Deacons as one of the starting outside linebackers this year.

After collecting a team-leading 40 unassisted tackles and 81 total stops last year, Jackson returned to the field this year with a more intense focus. Jackson is a gifted athlete with hopes to advance to the professional level next year.

What will you miss most about Wake next year?

I’ll probably miss my teammates the most. I’ve been with these guys for a while, some guys over four years. They’re pretty much all I know. I hang out with them every day. I practice, play games and go through different things with them, so I’ll miss them.

As a senior, what are your plans or hopes for next year?

My hope for next year is to enter the NFL draft.

What was your football career like before you came to Wake Forest?

I started playing football in fourth grade. I think I was nine years old. The first position I played was tight end, but ever since then I have played linebacker. In high school, I was on a pretty good team. Every year, we went to the playoffs. When I was in my senior year, we won the state championship.

What brought you to play football at Wake?

I really liked the coaching staff. I also liked this college atmosphere. It wasn’t as intimidating of a school size as a lot of schools, so I was happy about that. I really felt like it was a place where I could come in and make an impact.

You tore your ACL your freshman year. What was the recovery process like?

I was a redshirt freshman and after that, in my first year playing, I tore my ACL in the first game, on the first play actually. The recovery process was tough because I hadn’t played football since high school, so I had to sit out another year and it was a little depressing for me. As I started rehab, I felt like I was recovering pretty fast and I was actually able to come in and play the next season.

What has been the greatest moment of your Wake career thus far?

I think probably beating Florida State two years ago.

That felt pretty good since they’re one of our ACC rivals.

Have you been focusing on improving anything specific this year?

I’ve been focusing on improving, as you try to do every year, on getting bigger, faster and stronger. Also, I’ve been focusing on being technically sound and making fewer mental errors. I want to be better with my technique.

What are your goals for the remainder of this season?

I would like to win the ACC championship. I feel like that’s every ACC team’s goal. That is really the major goal.

Whitlock dominant in Wake’s 25-11 victory over Army

Senior nose tackle Nikita Whitlock was named ACC Co-Defensive Lineman of the week following his career-best 15 tackle performance in the Deacon’s 25-11win over Army.

Whitlock’s 15 tackles were the most by a Deacon since Dominque Midgett’s 15 versus Navy in 2009.

Army’s backfield was inhabited by Whitlock throughout the game as he notched four tackles, all for losses. Whitlock also forced a fumble and recorded a pass breakup.

“Whitlock was a nightmare,” said Army Coach Rich Ellerson.

Wake records first loss of the 2013 season Women’s soccer drops close game to Terps after win over rival Blue Devils

BY MIKE ZAVAGNO Staff Writer zavamd11@wfu.edu The No. 9 Wake Forest women’s soccer team suffered its first setback of the season at Maryland Sunday, despite an impressive home win over Duke (4-4-1, 1-2-0) Thursday night.

The Deacs (7-1-1, 2-1-1) finally put together a complete performance, defeating in-state rival Duke 3-1 in front of a raucous crowd at Spry Stadium Thursday.

“I think we came to life and took over the game down the stretch,” head coach Tony da Luz said. “[This team] shares the ball and is a very hard working team, so if we keep up this work ethic then we are going to go a long way.”

Katie Stengel netted the 50th goal of her career in the 83rd minute of the victory, finally capitalizing after creating a plethora of chances throughout the contest.

“Someone had to tell me after the game that it was 50,” Stengel said. “It was great. If it helps the team win, that’s all I can ask for.”

The senior co-captain continues to run away with the Wake Forest career goals

scored record, outpacing her nearest competitor by 14 goals. In addition, the Melbourne, Fla., native becomes one of three active players to net 50 career goals. So far, the only to do so in the ACC. However, Stengel, as she has been all year, was active in all facets of the game, using her playmaking ability to create chances for her teammates.

With the score tied 1-1 early in the second half after Riley Ridgik slammed home a rebound in the 26th minute, Stengel chased down a Ridgik pass that looked destined to cross the endline for a goal kick. She slid to save the ball before playing a superb pass back to freshman Caroline Wootten, who easily finished on the vacated net.

“Honestly, I thought the ball was going out,” Wootten said. “Then I saw Katie kept it in and touch it back. All that was going through my head was to put the ball in the back of the net, so I did.”

The assist was Stengel’s seventh of the season, putting her in incredible position to break the Wake Forest seasonseason assist record, which currently sits at 11. Her 19 points on the season rank her 20th nationally, trailing Danica Roberts of Southern Mississippi by six total points.

However, the Demon Deacons were unable to carry the momentum from Thursday night’s impressive victory into Ludwig Field in College Park, Md., traditionally regarded as one of the most

difficult road venues in the ACC. The No. 23 Terrapins (5-3-0, 2-1-0) scored a fourth minute goal and bent, but never broke the rest of the way to hold on to a 1-0 victory despite being outshot 17-6.

ACC leading goal scorer Hayley Brock was the only player to find the back of the net Sunday afternoon. After a turnover by the Wake Forest backline, Brock received a through ball and blasted a shot past senior co-captain Aubrey Bledsoe.

The Deacons managed to create header chances for Annick McBryar and Megan Curan en route to outshooting Maryland 9-1 in the second half, but Terps goalkeeper Rachelle Beanlands held strong, tallying six saves on the afternoon.

The loss drops Wake Forest to fifth place in the ACC, but should not prove entirely costly for the campaign moving forward.

Entering a tough stretch of ACC road games, it will be important for da Luz to draw on his team’s dominating win over Duke, as well as their strength in shots and possessions against Maryland.

The Demon Deacons will continue their four-game swing away from Spry Stadium Thursday when they travel to Newton, Mass., to take on a struggling Boston College squad.

Wake Forest will finish the weekend up north Sunday afternoon when they take on ACC newcomer Syracuse at the SU Soccer Stadium.

Logue: Former star athlete chooses new career Continued from Page 10

Eventually I decided that soccer was just one phase of my life and this was the point where I needed to move on from it.”

With her soccer career now behind her, Logue assumed the role of a typical student for the first time at Wake Forest. She completed an internship in the spring of her senior year and worked as a teaching assistant on a summer study abroad program, the same one she had gone on as an undergraduate two years prior.

“You’d think that the captain of an NCAA Division-I soccer team might have a ‘tude, at least once in a while — and maybe is entitled to one given how competitive that world can be,” said professor Terry Baker, who leads the abroad program. “I always respected how Jackie seems to maintain balance and perspective in her student and athlete worlds, yet excels at both.”

While Logue certainly misses the team experience, she is also enjoying her newfound lifestyle, a lifestyle that no longer includes early-morning practices or offseason training sessions.

“It’s nice to actually be able to do the whole college thing for a year before reality hits,” Logue said. “When I was at my internship, it was pretty eye-opening how little free time you have when you’re working full-time.”

As she transitions, the women’s soccer team is doing the same, as it is the first time in four years that Logue hasn’t been manning the outside back position.

The team, off to a 7-1-1 start and ranked in the top-10 nationally, has adjusted well, but coach da Luz hasn’t forgotten Logue’s impact.

“Jackie was super disciplined and never seemed stressed or like she was falling behind in her studies,” da Luz said. “To do that as a captain for three years is nothing short of incredible.”

When asked about her decision to forgo playing professionally, Logue’s coach couldn’t help but praise the student-athlete that helped lead his squad for four years.

“I would have loved to have seen her at the next level competing. But at the same time, Jackie managed to squeeze absolutely every ounce out of her career. We didn’t have four better years than when she was here and we definitely miss her.”

Over the past four years, the women’s soccer team has accumulated 19 selections to the All-ACC Academic Team.

In addition to Logue, current seniors Katie Stengel and Aubrey Bledsoe have been chosen for the team in each of their first three seasons. With these three student-athletes as leaders, the team had it finest season ever in 2011, reaching the NCAA Tournament semifinals for the first time in program history.

Men’s soccer shuts out new ACC foe Pitt After a 2-0 win against the Panthers, the Deacons bested No. 17 VCU at Spry Stadium

BY JENN LESER Staff Writer leseje0@wfu.edu

Adrian Martino/Old Gold & Black

Senior defender Tolani Ibikunle is part of a stifling back line that has forced three shutouts so far this season.

A new opponent but the same result; as the No. 24-ranked men’s soccer team traveled to Pitt on Saturday, Sept. 21, the Deacs showed just why they’re alone at the top of the ACC, earning a decisive 2-0 victory against the conference newcomers.

Sophomore midfielder Michael Gamble continued to show why he was so highly decorated last season, as he picked up his second goal of 2013 to give the Deacs a 1-0 lead early on.

Gamble’s tenacity on the pitch sparked the Wake offense, which held control of the game for almost the entire 90 minutes.

The Columbia, MD., native would come up big again when he assisted on the second goal of the game, which was sent home by senior forward Andy Lubahn.

Lubahn notched his third goal of the season, moving him into 10th place all time on the Wake Forest scoring list with 25 career goals.

Despite an impressive offensive showing, it would be impossible to explain the Deacs’ success without taking a look at the other half of the field — the back line.

In defense, a player is often only noticed when he makes a mistake, and fortunately for this Wake squad, these back four make very few of those.

Redshirt freshman keeper Alec Ferrell earned his second career shutout, making three saves and was barely troubled throughout the 90 minutes.

The defensive line in front of him also did remarkably well; anchored by junior defender Sam Fink and senior defender Chris Duvall, the back four, also featuring sophomore Jalen Robinson and senior Tolani Ibikunle, stifled a number of Pitt attacks and let the offense take control of the game.

One of the key components of the Wake Way is that the core of the action must come from the

defense, and the continued strength from the back four has played a big part in the Deacs’ success so far this season.

“From start to finish we were composed and playing our DIE — defense initiates everything,” Robinson said. “We implemented it well and we got the result, thank god.”

Going a man down would be a daunting task for most squads — but for the Wake Forest men’s soccer team, losing junior forward Sean Okoli to a red card in the 22nd minute turned out to be the catalyst that led to their 2-1 win over VCU. The two teams were fairly evenly matched in what started as a physical, but not dirty, contest — that is, until midfielder Dakota Barnathan headed one past redshirt freshman keeper Alec Ferrell in the 18th minute to put the Rams up 1-0. Just a few minutes later, Okoli was sent off the field with a questionable red and the Deacs were down to 10 men on the field.

Though Okoli’s presence in the attacking third would be missed, Wake took the chance to regroup and focus on what they consider a hallmark of their program – DIE. The back line has kept this Deacon squad in great shape so far this season and tonight’s performance was no exception.

The Deacs will be back in action when they take on the top team in the country this Saturday, Sept.

28. North Carolina has yet to get a win in the ACC but the Tarheels are still coming into Spry as a serious threat. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. as the Deacs look to pick up their third straight win.

Football: Second win a boost before Clemson Continued from Page 10 Zach Thompson also posted eight tackles each.

“To be the best, you have to be able to stop people when you want to stop them,” Whitlock said. “We’re trying to show the nation that as a defense, we can play with anybody. It was all pride, and it was all from the heart, and we just wanted to show everybody we can play.’’

The real sight for sore eyes, however, came on the offensive side of the ball, which was already the team’s weakest link even before the 15-yard outing against ULM. Saturday was déjà vu for senior running back Josh M. Harris, who scored two touchdowns in a single game for the first time since the Deacons’ last matchup against Army on Sept. 22, 2012. In addition to his pair of touchdown runs, Harris’ 96 yards on 19 carries were also season highs.

As per usual, senior flanker Michael Campanaro, though relatively quiet, did not disappoint.

He had four catches for 91 yards on the day, including a 66-yard touchdown reception. Campanaro now has 187 catches in his career, which is the second most in school history.

Senior quarterback Tanner Price also came through in a number of key situations, notching a career-high 66

yards on 11 carries. Although his six-for-17 completion percentage still shows room for improvement, he is now tied for second in school history with 44 career touchdown passes.

“When we were given a chance to seal the game, [the offensive line] stepped up, and we just drove it down their throats,” Price said, noting the marked improvement over the offensive performance against ULM. “So kudos to those guys. I’m really proud of them for stepping up and playing hard.’’

With the win, the Deacs improved to 2-2 on the season, and they hope to keep improving.

“I’m hopeful it just gives us a lift mentally more than physically,’’ Grobe said.

“We talked about it last week. You can hide from it, but we needed a win today. We really needed a win today — especially after last week and playing as poorly as we did. I thought today was critical to us.”

As the Deacs dive headfirst into the heart of ACC play at Clemson this week, they will need to keep the win against Army fresh in their minds.

“We finally got some things going on the ground, so now I feel like we had a good game, and I feel like now we know how to do these things,” Harris said. “We should be pretty good from now on.”

The Deacs will travel to face No. 3 Clemson at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 28.

The game will be televised on ESPNU.

Press Box: On-field wardrobe adjustment Football team’s uniforms transform with the new season, but do they work?

BY TY KRANIAK Staff Writer krantr11@wfu.edu Some schools put everything into it. Others stick to basic schemes. Recruits have even been noted to choose their school based on it. So it’s no exaggeration to say that uniforms are a monumental piece in today’s college football.

Historically speaking, Wake Forest is a football program that does not put much emphasis on changing their uniforms on a regular basis. That is until now.

Before the 2013 football season, Wake Forest was known for its clean and relatively simple garments sported on the gridiron. Wake was accustomed to wearing black helmets with a shining gold WF on each side, and only had a black (home) jersey a white (away) jersey and a shimmery gold jersey that was donned once a year at BB&T Field. For pants, Wake kept things simple with white pants that were only worn on the road as well as black pants and gold pants that were seen in both home and away settings.

This year is different. Entering the season, Wake Forest announced that they were planning on adding a black matte helmet in the same style as their traditional lids as well as a white helmet with black WFs on each side. Fans were just waiting to see them actually showcased.

For the first time since 1975, Wake Forest introduced white helmets into their repertoire, which were revealed in Wake’s second

game into the 2013 campaign, which resulted in a tough loss on the road at Boston College Sept. 6. Going opposite of Wake’s traditional home “black on black on black” uniforms, the team went with everything white, and while it looked snazzy, it seemed as though a bunch of marshmallows were running around the field.

Imagine that.

Even though Wake played poorly, I was able to walk away from the game thinking

that at least the Demon Deacons looked good.

Things took a turn for the worse, in my opinion, when the Deacons ran onto the field before the Louisiana-Monroe game Sept. 14. The team was repping white helmets, black jerseys, and white pants. Way too much contrast in my book.

And judging by the result of the game, my superstitious self wants to put this combination to bed.Wake returned to its usual

self by looking sharp while sporting white noggins, white jerseys and black pants in their highly needed win over Army Sept.

21. Fashionably speaking, this is the best the Deacons have ever looked.

Ever since, I have been watching Wake football, I have always been a big fan of the gold jerseys, and I am upset that Wake Forest does not sport them more often or consider making them the official home jerseys over the black ones.

It would always make me happy walking into BB&T Field to see Wake running out with the lustrous golden jerseys, marketing themselves as a true private institution.

The football nerd in me cannot wait to see the gold jerseys with white pants in congruence with the white helmet.

Last year, Wake dusted off their gold tops to wear for the Duke game, which was played during parents weekend. Could another golden surprise be in the making this parents weekend when the Deacs take on N.C. State?

Given the fact that Wake has sported a different combination in every game this year, one can only guess where it goes from here.

My hope is that it looks sharp.

In my humble fashion opinion, the biggest change that I would like to see is grey facemasks on white helmets.

It looks sharp on the Arizona Cardinals and Indianapolis Colts, and it would accent the white helmets very nicely.

For the most part, Wake has been looking fresh this season, and it is nice to change it up from previous years.

Let the experimenting continue, and hopefully Wake settles on some sharp combinations that catch the eyes of their own fans and make opposing teams and fans jealous.

Calvin Pace: The outside linebacker finished his four-year Demon Deacon career with just under 200 tackles and 30 sacks. He was selected twice for the All-ACC Second Team.

His impressive 2002 season at Wake Forest shot him up draft boards and led to him eventually being selected with the 18th pick in the first round of that spring’s draft.

He spent five seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, where he made 38 starts in 67 games.

In March 2008, he agreed to a new contract with the New York Jets that would pay him $42 million over six years. The deal included $22 million in guaranteed money.

While his skills have begun to decline at age 32, Pace still has found a way to crack the Jets’ starting lineup. The team released him after the 2012 season, but quickly resigned the Lithia Springs, Ga., native.

Through the first three games of the 2013 season, he has recorded 11 tackles and 1.5 sacks.

Josh Bush: Bush’s tenure with Wake Forest did not begin with the same success as that of Calvin Pace. After redshirting his first season on campus, Bush saw limited playing time during his freshman and sophomore campaigns. During his junior season, he played both safety and cornerback, finishing second on the team in pass breakups.

It was not until Bush’s final season as a Demon Deacon that he truly broke out. He finished the year with six interceptions, second most in the entire conference. His stellar play earned him a spot on the All-ACC First Team and All-American Third Team.

Bush went on to join Pace after the New York Jets drafted him in the sixth round of the 2012 NFL Draft.

In the first three games of this season, Bush has played both on defense and special teams. So far he has racked up five combined tackles.

The Laramie Project

The Matthew Shepard murder story illuminates a reflection on hate in small town America

BY KRISTOPHER KOLB Opinion Editor kolbkl11@wfu.edu The university’s fall 2013 theatre season begins with a production of Moisés Kaufman and the Tectonic Theater Project’s The Laramie Project, directed by Brook Davis. The Laramie Project is a powerful production that offers a look at the inner workings of a small Wyoming town rocked by the media firestorm and subsequent inward reflection following a national tragedy, the brutal torture and murder of Matthew Shepard, a gay University of Wyoming student.

The play features an ensemble class, with each actor playing multiple characters based on hundreds of interviews collected by a New York theatre company that traveled to Laramie, Wyo. The play provides an important reflection for how far we’ve come as a nation in the past decade, especially in the wake of recent instances of hate speech and intolerance on the university campus.

Although all of the actors should be commended for their convincing portrayal of a slowly unraveling town, it is senior Celia Quillian who offers a breakthrough performance.

Quillian touches the emotional core of the play through her startlingly raw performance as a nurse in one

short scene and for her consistent portrayal as one of Matthew’s closest friends, Romaine Patterson. Patterson is a fledgling human rights activist who finds her calling in life and helps to combat Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church over the course of the production.

Seniors Mike Dempsey and Kyle Maloy should also be recognized for their injection of more light-hearted humor and small town sensibility into the production. Dempsey’s booming voice commands the stage, whether the audience is rooting for one of his characters in one instance or decrying another’s actions in the next.

Maloy shines as a bartender named Matt, who, in an empathetic moment, questions if he could have done more to prevent the heinous crime.

However, it is graduate student Andrew Newton who best exemplifies the duality that the actors must embody in capturing an ensemble of characters. He encapsulates two equally heartbreaking moments, but for completely disparate reasons.

Newton portrays both Shepard’s murderer and the innocent biker who comes across Shepard’s barely breathing body by a chance of fate.

The tiered set effectively reflects the disjointed nature of Laramie and allows ample space for all 10

actors to occupy the stage at once.

The set is otherwise bare, aside from the panels on which images of rural Wyoming are projected. This use of projection accommodates the rapidly shifting character situations that exemplify the documentary-like montage of scenes.

Davis, who traveled to Laramie in order to prepare to direct the project, leads the students with a deft hand, allowing each actor to have his or her moment in the spotlight.

More importantly, Davis chooses not to create a production that is traditionally entertaining, but instead allows the play to stand on its own merits as a uniquely American piece of art.

It is a reflection of every small town and every university campus across the country. It forces the audience to put themselves in the shoes of Laramie residents and truly consider what they would have done at the time. Without standing on a soapbox, The Laramie Project evinces the need for a change of thinking in our society.

The approximate runtime is two hours with no intermission. Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for senior citizens and $5 for students. The play will run from Sept. 25 through Sept. 29. Performances are nightly at 7:30 p.m., except for Sundays at 2 p.m.

Film Review | Living in the Overlap

Documentary follows lesbian couple through life Living in the Overlap is the sweet love story of lifelong partners Pearl and Lennie

BY NIKI MAKKINEJAD Contributing Writer makknd11@wfu.edu On Sept. 18, documentary fans got a “sneak preview” screening of Living in the Overlap in Brendle Recital Hall. This film is the story of Ellen “Lennie” Gerber and Pearl Berlin, a lesbian couple who has been together for 47 years, sharing their love for “social justice and each other.”

The documentary illustrates key episodes in the lives of Gerber and Berlin. It follows how they met, how they fell in love and the way in which they started their life together.

This preview set the foundation for one of the most heart-warming stories I have ever heard.

It was evident by the positive and appreciative reactions of the audience that they all felt the same way about this story.

It was instantly observable how much Gerber and Berlin cared for each other while watching their interactions during the Q&A session that was held after the preview as well as during the screening itself.

The documentary is a case study of the difficulties gay and lesbian couples face in a world that is not fully accepting of homosexuality.

However, the documentary promises to mainly focus on their lives today. Gerber, a retired lawyer, and Berlin, a retired professor, were together for 46 years before they were able to get married legally this past June in Maine. They explained in great detail how they met at the perfect time to both be in a place to start a relationship.

The women emphasized how much they learn from each other daily. They shared their wisdom about enduring relationships, including the overarching philosophy of their own They think of themselves as two circles, often overlapping, both “independent and interdependent.”

The imagery of this philosophy inspired the title of the film.

It was clear that they are very proud of who they are individually, as well as who they are together as a couple.

It is also unmistakably clear from the documentary that after 47 years of living in the overlap, the couple still has an indelible spark.

The screening drew a nearly packed house. Students, faculty, staff and many people from the WinstonSalem community came to see this preview.

Additionally, there were many gay and lesbian couples sitting in the hall.

People of all ages, races and gender were there to see the preview and with two standing ovations for Gerber and Berlin, it seemed as if the whole audience gave them their support.

The couple advocates for LGBTQ rights and has fought against legislation that prevents same-sex marriage.

Part of the film shows their efforts to defeat North Carolina’s anti-gay marriage amendment. Despite the amendment’s passage, the couple will continue to stand up for future change.

The documentary is the project of Wake faculty and filmmakers Mary Dalton and Cindy Hill, in conjunction with the university’s documentary film program.

“Getting to know Lennie and Pearl has been a joy, and from the very beginning, it’s been their love story that has drawn me in and made me feel a keen desire to make this film,” Dalton said. “These women have the type of enduring relationship with an intimate partner that I think most people want to have.”

Dalton and Hill were intrigued by Gerber and Berlin’s story after reading an article published in the Greensboro News & Record chronicling their relationship.

Music Column | Nothing Was The Same

Drake shows soft side on new album Drake’s junior album combines lost love and egotistical rhymes to make a totally different sound

BY KIRSTYN SCOTT Staff Writer scotkn0@wfu.edu To listen, or not to listen? That is the question that Drake fans were asking themselves last week when the phenom’s album leaked a week before its scheduled release date. I was among the many who couldn’t wait any longer.

Looking at Twitter and Facebook let me know that I wasn’t alone. Thousands of tweets posted lyric snippets ending with #NWTS. The acronym for the album title, Nothing Was the Same, stands for one of the most apropos ways to describe Drake’s junior piece of work. It is clear that Drake is not the same as he used to be.

It is easy to forget that Nothing Was The Same is Drake’s junior album because of the countless mixtapes and singles he has released over the past decade. There has been a definite evolution thus far, but this album takes his listeners further away from the Degrassi-bred, rap freshman who released Room for Improvement.

There are no more bars about how he’ll climb his way to the top. He is completely confident that he has arrived.

Interestingly enough, I expected this piece to be a lot more about his contentment with being who he is instead of love. We all know that part of the Drake appeal is his ability to speak about his emotions without losing rap credibility, but NWTS is much softer than I expected.

Part of my initial shock stemmed from having read a June 2013 GQ article where Drake claimed that this upcoming album was much more about him being happy and single instead of pining after love. So much of this album read like a love song, so where did all of the overt, stereotypical masculinity go?

Granted, the bars in “Tuscan Leather,” “Started from the Bottom” and “The Language” are typical of the harder rap

game, but they make up less than half of the album.

Drake takes the opportunity in “Worst Behaviour” to go in on all of his past and current doubters, but immediately offsets his bite with the much softer “From Time.” The album seems to go back and forth between Drake proving himself as a boss and pining after past loves until you reach the much anticipated collaboration with Jay-Z named “Pound Cake/Paris Morton Music 2.”

The bars Drake spits on the initial beat are no longer about previous girlfriends or the misogyny of women. This is the only track on the album that feels like a conversation. He stops playing with stereotypes of both R&B and rap to make a song that’s just all about him. Jay-Z makes a solid appearance, but is unable to surpass Drake with his rhymes. This is the only real feature on the album, and Drake stands up to one of rap’s living kings before going into a stream of unfiltered consciousness which does nothing but garner respect.

Pulling the songs off of the album to listen one by one makes for an incredibly incoherent experience. It is supposed to be listened to as a whole. Nothing Was The Same is a view inside the mind of the man who is pined after by millions. I am not sure that this approach will sit well with his entire fan base, but rest assured that his “senior will only get meaner.”

Tech Column | iOS 7 Review

iOS 7 gives Apple iPhone a makeover The new iOS 7 update for the iPhone redesigns and improves the ubiquitous smartphone

BY GAURAV SHENI Staff Writer sheng12@wfu.edu Why do a large majority of the people at Wake have iPhones? Because it’s a simple phone that has an ease to use interface.

Ever since the iPhone was first introduced, the iOS system has never undergone a major change, until now.

The first thing you notice when you open iOS 7 is the totally different look.

All the apps have been redesigned as have all the menus. The changes include things like the clock and changing Siri’s voice.

There’s even new sounds for ringtones and notifications.

Every time you open an app, it looks as if you’re zooming into it. When you close the app, it zooms out. It is a nice, fluid animation, one of many.

One big feature is the new Control Center. It lets you easily change your settings for wi-fi, music player, bluetooth, air plane mode and brightness.

You can also go to your camera, timer and calculator quickly. There is a flashlight setting, which means you won’t have to download that extra app. You simply access these features by swiping

up from the bottom of your phone. Siri has been improved so it now can look up results in Bing, Wikipedia and Twitter.

You can use Siri to call back people, listen to voicemail and lots more. Safari has also been updated so you can go full screen.

The search and URL bar are now one, which means less clicking for you.

Want to share photos to someone without having to email them? Then use AirDrop. It lets you share files with whomever you want. Just select the contact and done. Much quicker than having to send it through your email.

The camera has been totally transformed, starting with bringing those Instagramlike effects to the camera app. You see what your picture is going to look like before you take it.

There are numerous effects like noir, face, process, chrome and many more. If you get an iPhone 5S, you can take slow motion video. But if you don’t get a iPhone 5S, you can still use burst mode, which lets you take multiple pictures at once and choose which one you want. After you take those numerous selfies, you can view them through the newly designed Photos app. You can organize your photos by location or date. There’s also an option to see geo-tagged pictures on a map.

If you need help finding new songs, then you might want to try iTunes radio.

It’s like Pandora, but without streaming limitations. There are ads but if you have iTunes Match, there are none. iTunes

Radio gives you suggestions which are based on the artists and types of music in your collection.

The notification center has a few changes. It has a special section dedicated to letting you see your contacts’ birthdays, stocks, alarms, weather and calendar events. The Find My iPhone feature has changed so you can make your phone even more secure in case you lose it.

If you loved your iPhone before, then you’re going to love it even more if you update to iOS 7. It’s a great operating system that will continue to get better.

Help curb fatigue with unique ways to fall asleep Sleepless in South? There is more than one weird way to get a proper night’s sleep every night

BY LIZ KUEHN Staff Writer kuehea12@wfu.edu You snooze you lose, huh? As college students, sleep tends to take a backseat to well … everything.

However, lack of sleep is actually a major contributing factor to the struggles we face every day.

Your cranky moods, dilapidating motivation to do school work and overall levels of stress can be fixed in one single step: get more sleep.

I know you’ve probably heard it all before.

Through lecturing parents, health classes and concerned professors, I’m sure you’ve heard hundreds of tips to fall to sleep — none of which seem to work.

Before throwing in the towel and losing hope of ever having healthy sleeping habits, check out these unique tips.

1. Toe curling If you curl your toes, hold for a few seconds, then release and repeat, it will relax your mind almost immediately.

This exercise helps release tension in your body and the repeating rhythm of curling your toes calms down your mind, helping you fall asleep faster.

2. Cherry juice and raspberries It sounds gross, but cherry juice actually contains melatonin, a hormone that helps control your sleep cycle. Raspberries are richer in melatonin than most foods, so they also make a great bedtime snack.

If cherry juice and raspberries don’t appeal to you, try almonds, sunflower seeds or strawberries.

3. Sing You don’t have to be a future American Idol to sing yourself to sleep. Singing actually interrupts the auditory channel in the brain that sends messages and prevents us from falling asleep.

This is great if you have a single, otherwise take caution; singing a lullaby (or any song for that matter) to yourself might put you to sleep, but it will keep your roommate up.

4. Turn the thermostat down Scientists found that the 65 degrees is the ideal temperature to fall asleep in. Your body actually needs a temperature drop to induce sleep, so turn the notch on your

thermostat down a few degrees.

If you’re worried about getting too chilly in the night, put some blankets on the foot of your bed.

You can always add blankets to warm up, but it is a nightmare to cool down when you’re trying to go to sleep in a hot, sticky room.

5. Get on your feet

you much more productive during the day. It also gives your body time to recover, keeping you from getting sick.

Since we are practically on our own now, we don’t have our parents there to scold us for staying up all night on our computers, even if it is for “schoolwork.”

Take responsibility for your well-being and try to get some shut-eye before the sun rises.

Nothing is more frustrating than when you can’t fall asleep and the hours go by as you stare at the ceiling or force yourself to keep your eyes shut.

Taking a short walk will help your mind drift from not being able to sleep.

When you’re lying there for hours, your mind starts racing and you start losing sleep over losing sleep.

By taking a short stroll your mind and body will get a distraction and tire out, making it easier to finally fall asleep when you return to your bed.

Now that we are weeks into school, our schedules have become crazy, but that doesn’t mean it’s an excuse to only sleep a few hours every night.

As difficult as it is to do on “college time,” set a bedtime for yourself, and use some of the above tips if you can’t seem to hit the sack as quickly as you’d like.

Getting enough sleep every night will help you feel recharged and energized, making

Service Spotlight | Quinn Cutchin

Student, professor duo lead therapeutic dance classes Wake dancer volunteers at a weekly class for people who deal with Parkinson’s Disease

BY SYDNEY LETO Staff Writer letosb0@wfu.edu “Hey there, Chief,” the man said as he greeted his young instructor and proceeded to admire her socks.

This is David, and each Wednesday morning he and about nine others come together as part of a special community at the Academy of Dance Arts in WinstonSalem.

Most of the members in this group are patients with Parkinson’s Disease. On Wednesdays, though, they are all dancers who have come to stretch their bodies with Wake Forest associate dance professor Christina Soriano, and her intern Quinn Cutchin, a senior from Hudson, Ohio.

“I think everyone there really does enjoy the dance aspect,” Cutchin said. “It’s about waking up from the night’s sleep and getting your muscles moving, getting your mind working, really stretching your body.”

Apart from dancing since the age of five, Cutchin has other motivations for assisting

Soriano teaches a group of Parkinson’s patients to stretch their upper bodies at the Academy of Dance Arts in Winston-Salem.

Soriano — both her uncle and grandmother have a history of Parkinson’s, a nervous system disorder that affects movement. This class gives her an opportunity to learn more about the disease and how people cope with it.

One memory that still resonates strongly with Cutchin is when her uncle came to her high school graduation.

“A lot of times people with Parkinson’s freeze,” she explained, remembering how her uncle struggled to pick up his leg and take his next step.

“They don’t know why their bodies just can’t move, and you see them thinking

‘Why am I stuck right now?’ and it just really tore me apart.”

In class, the dance teachers use “pause” to command a new move, instead of “freeze,” which is the official term used to describe when a body with Parkinson’s stops and is impaired from making a second movement.

The class’s favorite exercise is called “Pass the Energy.” One person starts moving and everyone begins to mirror the leader.

“David always does a baseball umpire movement,” said Cutchin and everyone starts following his lead around the room.

Why this exercise is the most popular of them all is unclear, but Cutchin thinks it is

like passing a quiz.

“When you pass the energy, its like ‘oh wow, I did it,’ it feels so good, I’m proud of myself,” Cutchin said.

According to doctors, there is no better medicine for Parkinson’s than movement and exercise. Soriano has been teaching the class for nearly two years now, an annex of a study she helped conduct at WinstonSalem State University in 2010.

Not everyone who comes to class struggles with Parkinson’s, however. Some come in support of their spouse or friend.

Even those who come alone, though, have everyone in the circle of fold-up chairs to talk to.

“It isn’t any type of therapy, we aren’t therapists,” Cutchin explained, “it’s just refreshing, for all of us.”

Dance for Parkinson’s is a very common practice and can be found in cities across the country. If it does not already exist, it is also not too difficult to start.

“Wherever I move, I think it would be great for me and my lifestyle to continue doing it,” said Cutchin.

After three weeks, Cutchin has made many observations about her internship.

“It’s different for them every day — their diet, how they sleep, what medications they’re on, and some days you can tell they’re tired — but they’re still there, and that’s what’s important.”

Fashion Column | Do’s and Don’ts: Manks

Man tanks: from fashion faux pas to fraternity ready How to wear the basic tank top that has become the go-to college party shirt

BY LIZ KUEHN Staff Writer kuehea12@wfu.edu Oh, the wondrous world of the man tank.

I spent most of my life considering them to be a huge fashion faux pas since socks with sandals. However, I have recently developed a newfound appreciation for the “mank.”

Let’s get real. The functionality of a loose tank top with some party catchphrase across the chest is just too perfect to pass up. And the best part? Manks have become the trendiest party attire for both guys and girls. They’re perfect for day parties and hot, sweaty fraternity basements. If you’re looking to rock the mank, make sure you follow these do’s and don’ts.

Do: Have a fun image or catchphrase across the chest Manks shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Pick one that screams, “this is my party shirt.” Don’t be afraid to buy a mank with an outrageous picture on it. Funny cats or Bob Marley’s face across the chest are always solid choices.

If you’re trying to go for a more low key look, a surfing graphic is always an option.

Surfers were the original mank-wearers and they give off the vibe that you’re relaxed but still ready for a good time. Phrases

such as “Life’s a Beach” or “Sun’s Out Guns Out” are perfect for party manks.

The key is to just have fun with it. The sillier the message, the better. If you’re in Greek life, your fraternity or sorority will be sure to come up with clever puns turning your letters into a party motto.

Don’t: Wear manks to class I cannot emphasize enough that manks should only be worn for fun. This means manks are not class attire. Nobody wants to see your punch-splattered party shirt when they’re trying to learn about Napoleon’s reign. Also, professors might think you

don’t take your studies seriously if you’re wearing a top that says “RAGE RAGE RAGE” to your 8 a.m. class.

As comfortable as they are, just save your mank for party nights and wear slightly more formal clothes when it’s time to hit the books.

Don’t: Wear your mank fitted This tip is mostly directed to girls. Manks aren’t meant to be sexy or cute. After all, they are “man tanks” so they aren’t supposed to be curve-hugging and cleavage-bearing.

Wearing a mank three sizes too small is simply overdoing it.

If the armholes aren’t drooping half way down your side, then it’s too fitted. Trust me, it is much more comfortable to let loose and not think about the tight fabric clinging to your skin.

The guys out there should take this tip to heart as well. Nothing is more uncomfortable than seeing a guy wearing a tight shirt without sleeves; its just too much to look at. If you’re planning on showing off your arms, loosen up around the belly.

Do: Have a mank for certain themes You cannot go wrong wearing a mank that matches the theme of the party you are attending. That eliminates the stress of whether you are too dressy for a theme, since manks are always casual while still making an obvious statement. Popular themed manks include patriotic, neon raveready and holiday shirts. Look for a mank with a versatile pattern, saying or picture on it so you can wear it over and over again.

Tight and short is out; casual and loose is in. Embrace the mank, the essential celebration attire for the typical Wake partygoer.

Start your road trip off by taking the two hour drive to the university’s old campus in the real Wake Forest, N.C. Have lunch at the original Shorty’s and then continue on to Raleigh. Spend the weekend exploring the state’s capitol and then shop till you drop at the Crabtree Valley Mall, which has over 220 stores. On your drive back to campus, stop in Chapel Hill. Walk through the campus of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and then have lunch at one of the many eateries on Franklin Street.

On Friday morning walk over to Reynolda Village to the farmer’s market and then grab a bite to eat at Silo.

Later drive, or utilize the Wake shuttle to head downtown. Visit some of the art galleries on Trade Street and then treat yourself to a pizza pie at Mellow Mushroom. On Saturday, drive to Pilot Mountain or Hanging Rock for a scenic hike. You’ll be sure to see some radiant fall colors. Then spend a relaxing evening on campus, you’ll basically have the place to yourself so enjoy it! On Sunday, walk back to Reynolda Village and have brunch at the Village Tavern.
