ARTS NC State brings new shows to campus Rachel Smith Correspondent

Ukrainian punk-folk group and Bonnaroo 2014 best breakout band DakhaBrakha is one of many scheduled events ARTS NC State will be hosting during its 20142015 season.

The season will also include a performance from returning act Lucky Plush Productions, and University Theatre will perform renditions of You Can’t Take it With You and Around the World in 80 Days.

“We know there is no such thing as a typical NC State student, so we try to bring in a little bit of everything,” said Jill Powell, director of ARTS marketing. “We don’t want students to miss out on these opportunities.”

On Friday, Center Stage will welcome The Hot Sardines, a jazz band, to the Talley Ballroom.

On Nov. 13, the band DakhaBrakha, who has received raving reviews from Rolling Stone, will be bringing its transnational sound to NC State’s campus for a highly anticipated performance.

Website aims to help Cypher returns to NC State troubled students Dierde An Correspondent

Founded in March, a website sponsored by the Student Behavior and Case Management Center titled Students of Concern, advertises to friends of students with behavioral abnormalities in an attempt to help more students in need of psychiatric care.

The program asks students to submit reports if they see another student struggling on academic, emotional or physical levels. Some examples of warning signs include unexcused absences, substance abuse and mood swings.

Case Manager and department head Paul Tongsri thought of the idea behind the website to help any students struggling with difficult situations who may need additional emotional attention.

“The program is designed to provide a centralized place where individuals can express concern for students, either because they are dealing with a personal crisis of some kind or because they have been exhibiting some concerning or worrisome behaviors,” Tongsri said.

In an effort to promote the pro-

Coleen Kinen-Ferguson gram, many professors have chosen to include a description of the website, which can now be found on many class syllabi.

Through the website, students can find a link to fill out a form, allowing them to report any friends or peers who seem to be exhibiting concerning behavior.

“One example might include friends or other students who have talked about wanting to do harm to themselves or who have expressed a desire to disappear,” Tongsri said. “Other examples might include friends who are having trouble controlling their moods, are aggressive towards others or whose behavior has become difficult to predict.”

Tongsri said at the most basic level, the program was created to help prevent students’ personal crises or worrisome behaviors from affecting their ability to remain enrolled or persist toward graduation.

“In addition, we’re very interested in preventing enormous tragedies (such as suicide) that can occur when a student is left to

About 200 Raleigh hip-hop artists and students met to freestyle, read poetry and beatbox at the fourth annual NC State Cypher Monday night at the Free Expression Tunnel.

Taha Arif, a sophomore in engineering, helped plan the event and has been regularly attending NC State cyphers for more than a year.

“A cypher is a congregation of people who gather together to express their thoughts and feelings through spoken word and hip-hop,” Arif said. “Everyone is encouraged to participate.”

The cypher movement, known as Cypher Univercity by regulars and online, began at NC State four years ago and has spread throughout the state.

Today, there are many different cyphers at universities across North Carolina. They are normally held on campuses, even if the group running the cypher isn’t students, Arif said.

“You see different people each week,” Arif said. “Some that are new to Raleigh, and others that are just exploring NC State’s campus will stumble upon it by accident and

Applications for the 2014-2015 Leader of the Pack scholarship program, which recognizes an NC State student who has made outstanding contributions to the university in the areas of leadership, scholarship and community service, are now open until 5 p.m., Sept. 30.

Finalists are selected based on grade-point average, a personal interview, extracurricular activities, essays about their leadership and service experiences and studentbody vote. The Leader of the Pack winner is announced at the homecoming football game and awarded a $2,000 scholarship.

Students are eligible to apply if they have completed two semesters at NC State at the time of application and have a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or greater. Applicants must also have no academic integrity probation or disciplinary probation on their records.

“They are looking for someone who can unite the campus,” said Austin Bath, current Leader of the Pack and senior in biological sciences. “Our university is diverse, and this person should represent a broad spectrum of people and interests.”

A committee of NC State faculty will select 12 semifinalists.

“The committee is made up of faculty from across all disciplines on campus,” Bath said. “We want

everyone to have fair chance. No one should walk into the interview and have an advantage based on their discipline.”

The 12 semi-finalists will be announced in mid-October on the Leader of the Pack website. From there, the semi-finalists will be narrowed down to six through the interview process.

“They factor in your GPA and what you are involved in outside of class,” Bath said. “They focus specifically on your contributions to NC State. They want to know how you have affected the university community.”

The six finalists will be an-

In addition to these programs, the Craft Center will be hosting the Sixth Annual Pinhole Camera Photography Challenge Exhibition Sept. 22 through Oct. 30.

This contest is only open to students and features a prize of a free craft class to the

Judge’s Choice and People’s Choice picture winners.

NC State’s dance program, which includes the Panoramic Dance Project and the NCSU Dance Company, has concerts planned for November, March and April.

The Price Music Center Lecture Series is hosting Cosmas Magaya, a seminal figure in the field of Ethnomusicology, and the Faculty Chamber Music Recital with Peter Askim, the new Director of Orchestral Activities.

Tickets can be purchased in person at the box office located in Thompson Hall, online and over the phone.

Students are encouraged to purchase their tickets in advance to avoid sold out shows, but tickets are also available at the door.

“I think it is a great way for the university to show that it values service and contributions to society, rather than a popularity contest.”

Sometimes participants will find themselves in conflict with other performers. When two people want to battle at the cypher, they must do it by freestyling, which makes the rest of the cypher more exciting, Arif said.

A smaller version of the NC State Cypher takes place every week at the Free Expression Tunnel, normally beginning at 11:30 p.m. on Monday nights. The weekly event brings out plenty of regulars, such as Owen Hammer, a junior in computer science who

has been attending cyphers since his freshman year.

“It’s just like, a place to express yourself,” Hammer said. “It’s mostly rap, but a lot of people recite poetry or beatbox. I was just walking across campus one night and I ran into it.”

The cypher attracts a large regular audience, and people new to NC State can easily find the event due to its high foot-traffic location.

“Once a referral is received, we do our best to try to understand the situation, often by contacting the person who made the referral or by checking in with others who may have similar concerns,” Tongsri said. “Depending on the nature of the situation, we may reach out to the student involved to discuss the concerns involved.”

Tongsri said these meetings are generally non-confrontational and designed to provide support and structure for students experiencing emotional difficulties.

“My impression to date has been that the website

has served that purpose well,” said Michael Bachman, associate director for the Counseling Center. “It has the potential to be quite a valuable tool in our collective efforts to promote health and safety in the university community.”

Bachman said the counseling is directly connected to the Students of Concern program.

“He [Tongsri] is able to share information with our Center which, in turn, allows us to be better prepared to assist students who may be in crisis,” Bachman said.

Fashion designer and Art and Design Professor at NC State Justin LeBlanc gave a sneak preview of his Spring/ Summer 2015 collection at Raleigh’s Contemporary Art Museum Sunday evening.

LeBlanc, who has been deaf since birth, drew the inspiration for his collection, titled “Inaudible,” from his 2012 thesis show at the Art Institute of Chicago which shared the same name. During his thesis show, LeBlanc presented an audio and visual depiction of deaf and hearing people communicating underwater, an arena in which distortion

of all types of sound is inevitable.

The theme of inaudibility was demonstrated through the show’s emphasis on the other senses (sight, touch, scent and taste) as well as the show’s general lack of sound.

LeBlanc learned to perceive the world holistically without the addition of sound, which to most people is far from their normal way of being. Although most people can’t comprehend a world without sound, for LeBlanc, the removal of one sense resulted in a vivid reorganization of others, creating a unique worldview and an enhanced perception of space and time.

uring the 2004 Super Bowl, the New England Patriots beat the Carolina Panthers by three points in an incredible fourth quarter.

On the opposite end of the spectrum are places such as the Red Light District in Amsterdam, Netherlands. People walk down narrow streets and stare at nearly naked women who are legally advertising their assets through windows adorned with red lights.

Brazilian, Greek, Spaniard and German students all stated how unnecessarily sensitive Americans are to subjects concerning sex and gender. If something like Nipplegate had occurred in any of these countries, no one would have given it a second thought. They hardly even remembered what I was talking about when I mentioned it. They had a more laid back opinion on the matter. Why does the U.S. need to make such a big deal about nudity in the public eye?

Public bathrooms are another example of the prudish attitude in the U.S. Men and women go to completely separate bathrooms with individual stalls. European countries often have conjoined bathrooms with mixed gender stalls and everyone walks out to the same sinks. At

night, large platforms only for men rise out of the ground in public squares and plazas, completely open to the area around them.

By completely separating the two sexes and blowing situations such as Nipplegate out of proportion, we instill this sensitivity in our kids.

I remember watching the Super Bowl, and as the event occurred, I hardly noticed it. But the adults’ reactions around me exacerbated the intensity of the situation. If, for example, the adults had not acknowledged it, I might have thought nothing of it. Kids are impressionable, so I learned it was a big deal because my parents and their friends made a fuss. I understand that it was a mistake, but not one that deserved such outcry.

I visited the Red Light District in Amsterdam last weekend and walked among the narrow streets with students from Greece, Spain and Brazil. Soon, it was obvious I was the American in the group. They were surprised by what they were seeing, too, but I could hardly process what was happening. Seeing those women was emotionally overloading for me. After a lifetime in the U.S., I didn’t know what to think about what I was seeing.

The public Red Light District may shock visitors from around the world, but tourists from the U.S. are sheltered to the point that the experience is disturbing. There’s a reason there are no topless or nude beaches in the U.S. Such public hysteria conditions us to be easily scarred by nudity and sexuality, despite what many Americans experience behind closed doors. Sometimes, a little extra skin shouldn’t ruin a walk down the street or eclipse a great game. Maybe we could learn something from the rest of the world and shrug it off.

take priority over the dignity of the exposed celebrities.

For those who classify this incident as merely a scandal, do not be mistaken. This is a crime. It is a blatant, illegal violation of privacy concerning intimate photos and not just a subject for gossip. Labeling it as a scandal gives the impression that the exploited women are responsible and that the photo-sharing was consensual. This is certainly not the case.

In the rape culture that we are engulfed in, it is unavoidable that people will suggest these famous women brought it on themselves.

There is undoubtedly an ongoing belief that females are responsible for guarding themselves from abuse. This results in a dangerous mentality that women should not partake in any type of activity that could potentially be exploited by other people, who are amazingly never responsible for their actions. However, women are permitted to engage in their sexuality any way they see fit, and if that happens to include nude photos then that is their entitlement.

I will not seek out these images and will advise everyone else to abstain too. It is hypocrisy that people will ardently object to a free Facebook messenger app because of reports that it accesses phone numbers but thoughtlessly shares images of women’s bodies all over the Internet. No doubt some will regard this story as just another feminist rant, but everyone has the right to privacy. No level of celebrity status should change that.

If someone told you, “Hey man, I took a trip in a time machine and pet a dinosaur,” you’d probably think he or she should take a trip to the psychiatrist. Philosophers, though, are more apt to take this idea seriously.

NC State philosophy professor John Carroll has explored this subject alongside students since 2000 in his metaphysics course and honors time travel seminar, which began in the spring of 2002.

Together, they wrote A Time Travel Dialogue, a fictitious (though highly realistic) account of a physicist, a graduate assistant and a philosopher-turned computer scientist who debate whether their anomalous lab experiment proves the existence of time travel.

Carroll modeled the book after philosopher John Perry’s work A Dialogue on Personal Identity and Immortality, in which a conversation takes place between a dying philosopher (Gretchen Weirob), his chaplain and friend (Sam Miller) and Weirob’s former philosophy student (Dave Cohen) about the possibility of an afterlife among other musings.

“It was great, and I remember reading it as a student and, for a while, I really didn’t know whether it was real or not,” Carroll said. “I thought this might really have been a discussion, but in that one, in the end, it’s so wild. They start talking about brain transplants, and I said, ‘Oh, OK, this isn’t real …’”

When the University Honors Program came along and started looking for seminars, Carroll had the perfect idea for a time travel course in order to continue the book he had started with his metaphysics students.

“It just seemed like something fun to do with the students,” Carroll

said.

“I didn’t k now it was going to amount to what it did amount to, but it just kept getting better and more fun.”

In Carroll’s book, the dialogue takes place during the course of five days at the Jefferson National Laboratory, with each day representing a new philosophical theme.

“There have been several proofs that time travel to the past is consistent with the general theory of relativity,” Carroll said.

One example of a proof involves wormholes, a “shortcut” from one point in space-time to another point in space-time that lies outside of our conception of normal space and time, according to Carroll.

“Now no one is sure that there are any wormholes — this is a theoretical posit — it’s just that the general theory of relativity allows them, but the physicists also know that the general theory of relativity is not the whole story,” Carroll said. “It’s an excellent theory of gravity especially on a large scale, you know the motion of planets and the universe as a whole, but it doesn’t mesh well with the theory of quantum mechanics, which is about the little tiny

things and works very well at that level …”

Carroll said he wanted this scientific viewpoint to be clear because it shows that scientists are considering time travel just as much as philosophers are.

“One of the questions philosophers ask, though, is not really about whether time travel is consistent with the best science or the laws of nature of our universe,” Carroll said. “We’re also interested in the question, ‘Does it even make sense?’ It might be ruled out by logic instead of by science, so a lot of A Time Travel Dialogue is addressing that question.”

To answer these philosophical questions, Carroll assigned groups of students to work on topics, such as paradoxes and multidimensional time, on a rotational basis. Carroll then took the best pieces of their work — a process that took about 14 years — and tied it all together for publishing last summer through Open Book Publishers.

“This publisher is the British equivalent of a nonprof it organization, and they’re completely dedicated to open access publishing, where they make versions available

free to be read onl i n e ,” C a r r o l l said. “That’s really great because that’s what we always wanted, is wide readership…so this has just been a really great opportunity for us.”

The publisher also provides lowcost eBooks and printed copies for purchase, according to Carroll.

Nathan Sasser, a 2002 graduate of philosophy and English, took Carroll’s metaphysics course in 2000 and witnessed the birth of the project.

“The book really embodies Dr. Carroll’s philosophical rigor and also his greatness as a teacher by bringing his students along to a high level and taking them seriously as philosophers and collaborators,” Sasser said.

The course also engaged students in a creative way by asking them to draw examples from popular time travel movies, such as Back to the Future, according to Sasser.

“I was really clueless and probably didn’t have a faint idea of what metaphysics was and not a much better idea of philosophy, but Dr. Carroll’s class in that way in particular was really informative for me,” Sasser said. “He really taught me to think.

Dr. Carroll is an excellent philosopher, and I’ve learned probably as much about doing philosophy from him than from anybody else.”

For most of the course, students look at philosophical arguments against time travel, though Carroll said most of those arguments fail.

Still, Sasser said the theory of time travel remains unconvincing to him.

Students discuss managing school and part-time work Page Harris Staff Writer

While in college, many students find themselves getting jobs for different reasons. For some people, work is a necessity, and for others, it is more of a learning experience and a resume-building opportunity.

Students such as Darnell Miller, a sophomore in civil engineering, must work in order to support themselves during their college years.

“I moved from Maryland out of my parents’ house on my own, so I needed a job to pay for bills or basically live,” Miller said.

There are others who choose to work to have a little extra spending money. These students are also taking it

upon themselves to prove to their future employers that they are responsible enough to balance work and school effectively.

Ann Miller Finch, a senior in fashion and textile management, said she falls into this category.

“I originally decided on my own to get a job so that I could have my own money to spend and not have to be as dependent on my parents,” Finch said. “Later on in college, I decided that it would be beneficial for me to have a retail job since I am majoring in Fashion and Textile Management.”

Finch has held a job at Anna & Alice in Cameron Village for the past year while keeping up with her studies.

Besides having extra spend-

ing money, having a job while in college has many other benefits.

For Emily Weaver, a senior in political science, having a job while in college has helped prepare her for the future.

“It has given me a good work ethic, improved my time management and allowed me to prepare for balancing multiple projects within busy and hectic weeks,” Weaver said. “I think working while in college is a much more valuable experience than only attending classes because that is not what the work force will be like.”

According to Weaver, she picked up a babysitting job that she does on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.

Never t heless, work ing

while also being a full-time student has its disadvantages.

“It can be time consuming and on a week with a lot of school work, I can get stressed,” Weaver said. “It also keeps you held down in Raleigh so you can’t take long weekends even when it is a school holiday.”

Weaver explained that work can change what your main focuses start to become.

“It makes your life more about focusing on school and work to get through the week rather than football games, leaving town for the weekend or going to dinner with friends,” Weaver said.

Both Finch and Weaver agree that working in college requires sacrifice.

“I have had to miss out on a few things in the past due

to work,” Finch said. “Since I send in and make my schedule up for work at the beginning of each month, sometimes things come up later on like plans with friends or sorority activities that I have to miss because of work.”

However, there is a consensus when it comes to students at NC State that schoolwork should always come before their jobs and extracurricular activities.

“Since school comes before work for me, I never consider work when making my school schedule,” Finch said.

“Instead, I create my school schedule and then figure out when I am available to work.”

Weaver tries to schedule herself to have most of her classes during the morning hours so that she can have

her afternoons to work. She even has decided to take online classes in the past so that she could have a little extra time for work.

“I enjoy taking online classes when I have a job because I can sometimes work on the class while at work if I have free time,” Weaver said.

For Miller, his job almost requires him to take online classes, which can sometimes start to make things more difficult.

“Having a job pushes you to take online classes, but they aren’t always easy because you basically have to teach yourself,” Miller said. “With my major it’s not in my best interest to load up on online classes.”

Nurse practitioner receives award for HPV research Kevin deMontbrun Staff Writer

College campuses can be a breeding ground for Sexually Transmitted Infections.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HPV is the most commonly contracted STI on college campuses and the most common STI worldwide.

However, HPV often presents little to no symptoms until it causes more serious diseases and complications.

Amy Wongsarnpigoon, a Nurse Practitioner at the Student Health Services at NC State, recently won the 2014 Bernard A. Kershner Innovations in Quality Improvement Award through the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care.

The award recognizes both her research on HPV vaccine consultation in collegeaged males, as well as the improvements demonstrated at the NC State Student Health Services.

After observing a chart study of 100 males that had recently gone to Student Health Services for physicals and STI testing, Wongsarnpigoon saw that only 9 per-

cent were given an HPV vaccine recommendation, and only 26 HPV vaccines were given during that time frame.

“A lot of males we see don’t have the HPV vaccine prior to college,” Wongsarnpigoon said. “Some don’t know what HPV vaccines are or what HPV is. The vaccine is definitely more advertised for females.”

Vaccines such as Gardasil and Cervarix protect against HPV, but they are given to women far more frequently than men. Because HPV can lead to cervical cancers and genital warts in women, it is expected for women to receive an easy preventative measure such as a vaccine for it. However, the risks of complications related to HPV in men are similar.

“A lot of males don’t know this but HPV can lead to genital warts, penile cancers, anal cancers, and throat cancers,” Wongsarnpigoon said, “Many males will say that they thought HPV is just for females, but that isn’t true.”

Though only found in women, a pap smear can usually reveal an HPV infection.

Yet for males there is no physical way to test for the HPV

virus. Only the symptoms of HPV including genital warts and cancers can indicate the presence of the virus.

According to Wongsarnpigoon, it is still important to get the vaccine even if you do have the virus.

“We tell them it’s still good to get the HPV vaccine,” Wongsarnpigoon said, “It may not be as effective, but it can prevent other strains of HPV.” The symptoms of HPV can be treated by antiviral creams and liquid nitrogen to eliminate warts, but there is no cure for the disease. However, it is possible for the body to get rid of the virus over time.

Because the rate of recommendations was not at optimal levels for college-aged males at NC State’s Student Health Services, Wongsarnpigoon and her colleagues decided to set up an intervention in order to increase recommendations and administer HPV vaccines.

In the electronic medical record system used at NC State, Student Health Services added a template for HPV recommendations and vaccine administration. Also, Physicians were asked to rec-

ommend the vaccine during physicals, STI testing, and any other appropriate encounters.

“I try to convince them to get the vaccine that day because if they leave the office, they’re going to be bothered by studying and tests, and they’re going to forget about it,” Wongsarnpigoon said.

“Sometimes I’ll even tell students about Michael Douglas when they were saying he had throat cancer caused by HPV.” Additionally, Wongsarnpigoon also wanted to provide more information about the disease and its effects and the effects of the vaccine itself. As a result, Student Health Services put together a small handout to give males the information they need on both the virus and the vaccine.

According to Wongsarnpigoon, the intervention has been relatively successful. Just a few months after it was instated, 64.7 percent of males were given the recommendation and about 41 vaccines were given. The HPV vaccine is also now in the recommended vaccinations list for incoming college

students to NC State.

STIs are a very real problem for college campuses around the United States. In some reports, one out of five college students are reported to have genital herpes. Because

of the commonness of STIs, Wongsarnpigoon believes it is important for college students to always practice safe sex, get tested regularly, and get the HPV vaccination.

As Above, So Below, directed by John Erick Dowdle, is one ambivalent piece of work that tows the line between wanting to satisfy as a horror movie and wanting to legitimize the narrative itself.

It’s a movie that tries to teach viewers the philosophy of alchemy and magic more than it tries to scare viewers about what lurks in the catacombs of Paris. But even that might be giving Dowdle too much credit.

To quote the inscription above the Hell’s doorway that the characters encounter, “Abandon all hope ye who enter here.” Viewers should prepare to abandon hopes to escape complete disintegration into horror norms. Despite its interesting setup, the film fails to bring anything new to the genre.

To have fun with a horror film like this, try to identify the one crucial question made about the state of things that the characters completely overlook.

For As Above, So Below, the winner is, “Should we be following him?” “We” as in the six that sneak into the catacombs, and “him” as in the guy, who they’ve known to be missing for two years, that they just happen to come across. What a great question to ponder over. But, of course, it isn’t pondered. There’s a heavily French-accented “I don’t know” response and they continue on.

However, the entire first half of the film is nothing like a conventional horror.

It’s more a reimagining of National Treasure (Jon Turteltaub, 2004) without Nicolas Cage.

The Cage replacement is Scarlett (Perdita Weeks), who holds multiple degrees in chemistry and symbology, speaks four languages and is trained in Krav Maga.

SOURCE: WIKIMEDIA

The handheld camera, documentary feel of the film is explained by the actual documentary being made of Scarlett’s quest to realize her father’s work of finding the philosopher’s stone.

I love this character; she’s one of those people who has no boundaries and sees rules more as formalities. At the very beginning, viewers see her sneak illegally into Iran just to investigate a cave-sized hole-in-the-wall that contains an ancient statue with Aramaic engravings. Even as alarms start alerting the impending explosions, Scarlett refuses to leave until she captures every symbol.

The fervent yet reverent way in which she talks about the elixir of life, her and her father’s life work, is the only fully successful piece of the story. Her motivations feel true, and her single-mindedness is refreshing.

It’s the second half where everything takes a 1,000-meter southerly turn for the worse. It is the brick-andmortar heft of horror. Claustrophobia and paranoia run

deep in the catacombs, where hundreds of miles of underground tunnels contain millions of bones.

As the group makes its way through this city of the dead, sounds of primitive horns and deep trumpets resound through the confined spaces as we languish in a landscape of browns and grays, with the occasional hellish oranges and reds.

Cultish figures chant in the distance. Nooses appear in one second and disappear in another. Stone faces on the wall come to life and attack.

But under Scarlett’s leadership, finding the stone leaves no room for chickening out.

This entire scenario isn’t altogether scary, especially with the unnecessary, borderline laughable, romantic inserts. It comes across more as a slightly nail biteworthy adventure that just gets incredibly confusing and creepy toward the end.

The hows and whys scatter all over the place. What you’re left with instead is, well, ambivalence.

After more than a yearlong absence from the Marvel Comics universe, Peter Parker is back, and his return was highly anticipated

by Spider-Man readers everywhere. Now five issues into The Amazing Spider-Man rebooted series, writer Dan Slott and artist Humberto Ramos provide a solid, if slightly unremarkable take on the iconic character.

This series is a continuation of The Superior SpiderMan story arc, which Slott also helmed. In that series, longtime Spidey nemesis Doc Ock occupies Peter’s body after killing him and sets out to prove himself superior to his adversary by creating a smarter, more advanced Spider-Man. Now with the new Amazing Spider-Man, Peter returns to deal with all the changes that took place while Octavius posed as him. Changes in Parker’s life include having his own company, acquiring a Ph. D. in a field that he knows nothing about, and falling in love with a woman from his lab.

Yet beyond his lack of knowledge about everything that has happened during his absence, Peter must also face old foes such as Electro and Black Cat who Octavius managed to infuriate.

The strength in this series lies in Slott’s work. Having written other landmark Spider-Man stories such as Big Time and Dying Wish, he manages to maintain the integrity of the character while placing him in a new environment.

Rather than continue as the nerdy high school student swinging across the streets of New York fighting crime, Peter must first attend to his duties as CEO of Parker Industries.

SOURCE: FACEBOOK

Slott’s dialogue and tone make the book somewhere in between comical and gritty.

Now that Peter is officially back from the dead, it’s difficult to raise the stakes any higher for the character than they’ve been in the past. After all, his girlfriend Gwen Stacy was killed by the Green Goblin back in the 1970s.

What the writer accomplishes so skillfully is bringing a breath of fresh air while treading along familiar territory. Throughout the entire history of Spider-Man comics, a key component has always been placing the character in overwhelming situations. Slott’s saga is no different, as his emphasis on this formula makes for a major highlight.

On the other hand, Ramos’ art is too exaggerated for my taste, and for many other readers. The characters’ faces pop out and appear overtly cartoonish. Particularly irritating is the design for Anna Maria, Octavius’ love interest in Superior. It’s hard to take her seriously when she looks like a little girl in a lab coat,

with virtually no distinguishable facial features.

Though there’s enough cleverness in the coloring and inking to help the art’s overall quality, Ramos’ work is less a compliment to Slott’s writing than it is a weaker component of the book.

As the series progresses, an alliance between Electro and Black Cat presents itself as a dominant subplot. The latter character’s presence is more prevalent, given that she and Peter have had an on/off relationship for a number of years. Seeing her bent on total vengeance toward her ex-lover adds a nice layer of intrigue to the main storyline.

There are no doubt certain elements of predictability here and there, which is difficult to avoid entirely.

Anything is better than the pathetic Spider-Man movie that was just released this summer. Overall, this latest installment in Slott’s ongoing Spidey saga makes for a good read with its humorous dialogue and clever plotting.

Wolfpack earns two victories in Wilmington Christopher Nobblitt Staff Writer

The NC State volleyball team came back from UNC-Wilmington on Saturday with a pair of well-earned wins, as both UNC-W and Fairfield succumbed to the Pack in the UNC-W Hilton Garden Inn Mayfaire Classic.

The Wolfpack redeemed itself from Friday’s contest against Eastern Washington, in which it lost three sets straight after a promising start.

Despite dropping the first set to the Stags, State upheld a water-tight defense. Fairfield finished the match with a negative attacking percentage, as well as losing the last three consecutive sets.

Senior opposite hitter Rachel Buckley recorded 10 kills, leading the team in kills for the second match in a row. Freshman middle blocker Kaitlyn Kearney was close behind her with nine. Sophomore setter Maggie Speaks made her presence known with 25 assists and seven digs total.

Freshman defensive specialist Emily Harris celebrated her first doubledigit dig performance at NC State.

After the tournament, Fairfield’s record dropped to a dismal 0-3.

Later that Saturday, the Pack butted heads with UNC-W, facing the team on its home turf.

“I think we played really well in the first two sets and played well in the third set also, but we let it slip away,” said Head Coach Bryan Bunn. “We didn’t play well in the fourth set, but we came out and played well in the fifth set.”

The Wolfpack clinched the first two sets, but the Seahawks returned with a vengeance and swept the third and fourth sets. In the fifth set, State pulled energy from its reserves to dominate UNC-W by a score of 15-8. Early on, the Pack laid down a devastating 7-0 run to make the score 11-2.

“UNC-W is a good team, and we were playing on their home court, so it was a tough environment,” Bunn said. “We showed a lot of character by battling back and winning that fifth set.”

The offensive front in the last match Saturday was led by senior outside hitter Dariyan Hopper, who boasted 16 kills. Buckley followed close behind with an almost equally as impressive 13 kills. Speaks accumulated 38 assists in the contest — a career best for the sophomore. Har-

State claws past Eagles in season opener Zack Tanner Senior Staff Writer

Jordan Beck Associate Sports Editor

NC State took its first game of the season in comeback fashion, defeating a surprisingly tough Georgia Southern team, 24-23. After trailing for the entire game, redshirt senior Jacoby Brissett led the Wolfpack on a game-winning drive, eventually connecting with sophomore running back Matt Dayes for the goahead touchdown with fewer than two minutes remaining.

“I was as happy as a coach could be,” State Head Coach Dave Doeren said.

From the opening kickoff, rust was clearly visible in the Pack’s play.

After forcing the Eagles to go threeand-out, State took over at its own 29-yard line but failed to make anything happen on offense. The team was forced to punt three plays later.

Southern drew first blood in Sunday’s contest, orchestrating a six-play, 82-yard touchdown drive, highlighted by the 61-yard scoring run from sophomore running back Matt Breida.

With 5:45 left in the second quarter, the Eagles struck again. Led by sophomore quarterback Kevin Ellison, the team marched 65 yards to score its second touchdown of the half, burning nearly all the time off the clock in the process. Ellison connected with senior wide out Kentrellis Showers for a 29-yard touchdown with just 34 ticks left.

“I was disappointed in two long plays,” Doeren said. “We can’t give up long plays.”

After a missed 54-yard field goal attempt, the State players headed to the locker room 14 points down and on pace for a major embarrassment in their season opener. Doeren said when he addressed his players at halftime, he simply “told them

the truth.”

“I said, ‘Did you guys do all this work this summer for this?’,” Doeren said. “I said, ‘Just do what you’re supposed to do: execute. Be who you are.’ Because we weren’t; we were a shell of ourselves in the first half. And they heard me and they responded; that’s leadership right there.”

The team quickly responded to Doeren’s words, striking first in the second half. Brissett tossed a long ball 42 yards to freshman tight end Jaylen Samuels, leading the Pack to the red zone for the first time in the contest. Two plays later, Brissett connected with sophomore wide receiver Bra’Lon Cherry in the corner of the end zone for the team’s first touchdown.

The Pack offense, now with a bit of momentum on its side, drove the ball to Southern nine-yard line on its following possession. Down 10 points, the team took an ill-advised gamble on fourth-and-one and came up short.

Following the turnover, Ellison and Breida led the Eagles 90 yards

in the opposite direction, finding themselves facing a second-andgoal from the one-yard line. With a touchdown, Southern would have been able to put the game out of reach.

However, Ellison coughed up the ball on a QB sneak up the middle, and senior defensive tackle Monty Nelson recovered the loose ball.

The resulting drive was a masterpiece; the Pack traveled 99 yards in just under seven minutes to shorten its deficit to three. Doeren said the drive wore on the Southern defense and opened the door for a Pack comeback.

“Their defensive kids were tired,” Doeren said. “They kept falling down to stop our drives, and we just kept going and going. That’s a backbreaker on a defense, especially after a turnover on a drive that could have put the game away for them.”

Managing to hold Southern to a field goal on the ensuing drive, State had 3:35 to travel 75 yards for the winning touchdown. However, the drive only lasted 1:58, as Dayes made a diving touchdown to give

State its first lead of the contest.

During the final two drives, freshman wideout Bo Hines made six of his game-high nine catches, all off of quick slant routes. The Pack’s fast-paced attack put the Southern defense on its heels.

“They had their outside linebackers way outside the box and we took advantage of it,” Doeren said. “It was a good job by [Offensive Coordinator Matt] Canada to recognize that set and take advantage of it.”

The Eagles had one final chance at a comeback with 1:37 remaining in the game. After a short rush and two incomplete passes, Southern faced fourth down. Ellison attempted a pass across the middle of the field, but the graduate student safety Jarvis Byrd made the final deflection to seal the game for the Pack.

“It was like a dream come true,” Byrd said.

The team will try to improve its record to 2-0 on Saturday against Old Dominion. Kickoff at CarterFinley Stadium is scheduled for 6 p.m.

MEN’S SOCCER

Wolfpack stumbles, ties Valpo, loses to Cal Poly Jordan Beck Associate Sports Editor

The NC State men’s soccer team (0-1-1) started its season sluggishly, drawing 0-0 with Valparaiso (0-0-2) on Friday before falling to Cal Poly (1-1) on Sunday with a score of 3-1.

State struggled to generate clear chances in its 4-4-2 formation and failed to consistently penetrate the opposing defense in both matches.

On Friday, Valparaiso came out to win and put the Pack under immediate pressure from the opening whistle, and State was sluggish to retaliate over the first 25 minutes.

“The negatives are we started slow,” said NC State Head Coach Kelly Findley. “I thought we lacked energy at home, which is not OK.” Midfielders Holden Fender and Michael Bajza kept possession well, but were forced to primarily pass backward or sideways.

Up front, the new pairing of Nick Surkamp and Lawrence Taiwo, two similarly large and athletic strikers, seemed out of sync and stayed too high, failing to combine with the midfielders. This disconnect meant that a team that played fast combinations in transition during the spring preseason ended up relying on long balls and physicality — an unreliable strategy.

Wolfpack substitutions, specifically sophomore midfielder Roland Minogue, freshman forward Ryan Peterson and freshman defender Caleb Duvernay, helped State gain the upper hand and indicated that Findley has tremendous depth at his disposal.

Peterson dropped away from his defenders to give the team a link

between midfield and attack and should’ve scored on a cutback pass from Duvernay, who played in a left-sided midfield role and added directness and width to the team.

Minogue gave the midfield added swiftness and agility to break past the pressure.

State dominated the second half but couldn’t find the net, and although Surkamp scored in the second overtime period, he was deemed offside by the referee.

Despite Valpo’s strong play, State expected to win the game, and probably should have won the game, according to Findley.

“We got better as the game went on,” Findley said. “I thought we deserved to win in the end, but soccer’s a hard game. We learned some good lessons tonight. We have to start strong and realize no one’s just going to let us win a game without a fight.”

In contrast to the offense’s troubles, the Pack defense produced a shutout and junior goalkeeper Alex McCauley performed well between the posts, including a spectacular save on a free kick.

“I knew as soon as he kicked it that it was headed top corner,” McCauley said. “I have a great goalkeeping coach who trains me how to handle those situations and I’ve faced shots like that all the time in practice so I just tipped it over the bar.”

On Sunday, State’s normally strong defense looked porous against an excellent Cal Poly side and wasn’t helped when senior center back Clement Simonin departed due to injuries and was replaced by freshman Matias Fracchia, who has been with the team for less than two weeks. The Mustangs, coming into

the game after losing to Davidson 4-3, moved the ball with tremendous confidence and precision and scored all three goals using a similar pattern.

When in possession, Cal Poly would exploit its main advantage in the center of midfield. Bajza and Fender couldn’t win the ball quickly, so State’s midfield line of four would come narrow and compact to compensate. The Mustangs would then play the ball wide, and as State reshaped its defensive lines to pressure, Cal Poly would exploit the gaps that appeared.

Cal Poly junior Chase Minter ran riot. The winger recorded two goals and an assist in the contest, scoring a header in the 16th minute, playing provider on the goal less than a minute later and finishing first time in the 44th.

After the halftime break, Findley

completely restructured his side and switched to a 4-3-3 formation.

The change altered the course of the game, and the Pack outshot the Mustangs 11-2 in the second half and dominated play.

State cut into the Cal Poly lead in the 64th minute, as sophomore midfielder Michael Bajza drew a foul in the penalty box and deposited the resulting kick into the bottom corner.

A frenetic final 25 minutes saw State come close to scoring another, but once again, finishing from open play just eluded the Wolfpack.

When the final whistle blew, Findley and his team headed straight for the locker room to understand just what went wrong.

With so much depth and talent, finding the right balance and employing the best tactics is the challenge faced by State this fall.
