Packapalooza: successful again Staff Report

organizations and homeless people, though McFarlane and City Councilman Russ Stephenson both cited an overabundance of groups donating and haphazardly dropping off food as reason for reform.

Donald Zepp, leader of Humans Beans Together and former professor of entomology at Cornell Univeristy, said that the police disallowing the distribution of food “came as a complete surprise considering

After weeks of anticipation, students, faculty and alumni filled Hillsborough Street on Saturday for the second Packapalooza.

The event capped off Wolfpack Welcome Week and featured food trucks, live music and countless information booths about N.C. State-related groups.

Thousands showed up to see Chancellor Randy Woodson, Head Football Coach, Dave Doeren and Scotty McCreery perform.

Rachel Morrison, a senior communication major, missed out on the show because she was working as a vendor for Jill’s Beach, a tanning salon with several locations around Raleigh.

However, Morrison said the event was still memorable.

“My friend got to see Scotty McCreery, so that was cool,” Morrison said. “It’s just nice to be around people out here and get to talk to them. Lots of good people, definitely.”

Matthew Williams, a senior majoring in history and a member of the Packapalooza planning committee, said the event could eventually become a defining tradition for Raleigh.

“The fact that we are able to bring it back after the 125th anniversary and for it to be so big its second year, the possibilities are endless for what Packapalooza could be, Williams said. “It’s really going to be a Raleigh staple, not just an N.C. State staple.”

Packapalooza featured different zones, including the green zone, which focused on N.C. State’s commitment to sustainability and recycling, said Justine Hollingshead, director of the N.C. State GLBT center.

At the Wolfpack Zone, N.C. State athletes from the football team, soccer team and others signed autographs for fans.

The international zone shared the culture of students and faculty from around the world.

The zone also included members of the N.C. State Office of International Affairs.

Demonstrators gathered in Moore Square in downtown Raleigh Sunday to protest a law that prevents people from giving food to the homeless on city property.

Standing up with the hungry PROTESTORS FIGHT BACK AGAINST A LAW BARRING THE DISTRIBUTION OF MEALS TO THE HOMELESS Jacob Fulk Staff writer

Protesters gathered Sunday evening at Moore Square in response to a series of cease and desist requests targeted at groups distributing food to the homeless.

The latest cease and desist request was enforced Saturday morning when the Raleigh Police department, in accordance with a city ordinance, forbade Hugh “The Reverend” Hollowell and his Love Wins Ministry from distributing coffee and breakfast

to area homeless people.

“It seemed less like ‘get the people out of the park’ and more like ‘how do we punish homeless people,” Hollowell said.

According to Hollowell his group had handed out breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays for 6 years before the cease and desist request on August 24th.

Raleigh Mayor Nancy McFarlane attended the event to reassure protesters and charitable organizations that no arrests will be made for handing out food at Moore Square.

According to McFarlane at least 32 different groups distribute food at Moore Square. She also said that more homeless people might have their needs met if these groups were more evenly distributed across the city.

“We’ve gotten to where there are so many people coming and and bringing food and wanting to help that it is almost sometimes overwhelming,” McFarlane said.

City officials provided little information as to why police recently enforced the ordinance after years of interaction between

Average ACT Composite Score

N.C. State students who have taken the ACT have surpassed the state’s average score in recent years.

According to Thomas Griffin, director of the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, the average ACT score for students that planned to enroll in 2013 was 28 out of a total 36 points, which was nearly 10 points higher than the state average of 18.7 points.

The classes of 2015 and 2016 also showed a strong performance with scores of 26 points and 27 points.

“Our scores remain strong, which means of course good students are choosing to apply and come to N.C. State,” Griffin said.

However, the mandatory ACT testing requirement may seem pointless to some college students that have taken both college admission tests such as the ACT or SAT. Eric Ross, a sophomore in chemical engineering, has taken both the ACT and SAT and said students shouldn’t have to take the exam unless they plan to go to college. Ross also

we had police officers previously coming over to us to say ‘thank you for being here’ and ‘we appreciate what you are doing here.’”

Zepp also said he familiarized himself with the city ordinance that prohibits the distribution of food and it could theoretically be applied to extent that “if you’re here with your family and you feed your kid a sandwich, you’re breaking the ordinance.”

Hollowell expressed a surprise similar to that of Zepp, stating that “When a man with a gun tells you

that you’re not permitted to do something, what do you do?”

“We are not the mayor’s enemies, we are not the City of Raleigh’s enemies,” Hollowell said. He mentioned that during a conversation with Mayor McFarlane she expressed her own surprise toward the incident and assured him that Love Wins would not be arrested if it returned the following Saturday.

Israel: A 65-Year Miracle One of the proudest accomplishments in world history.

There can be little doubt when, 500 or 1,000 years from now, the history of the world will be written, that the creation and the development of the State of Israel will be considered one of the proudest and most shining successes. Now, as Israel’s 65th birthday has just been celebrated, it is a good time, in our own day, to review what has been accomplished.

N.C. State students bled red for the community Friday at the fourth annual campus blood drive. 1,100 pints were donated, which is slightly less than last year’s recordbreaking 1,137.

Despite falling short of last year’s donation count, junior and student body president Alex Parker said the event was nothing short of “awesome.”

“It was so fun to give blood in the Wolfpack community—seeing all the students, faculty and staff come out,” Parker said.

Parker, along with 375 other donors, gave blood for the first time ever Friday. He said that although he was nervous at first, the upbeat atmosphere calmed him down.

While Parker was in the chair donating blood, N.C. State a cappella groups Ladies in Red and Grains of Time performed a few numbers for the students who were waiting in line.

“It was really cool hearing the Wolfpack chant and seeing all of the familiar faces.

Red everywhere; it calmed me down and I got through it,” Parker said.

Melissa Green, associate director at the Center for Student Leadership, Ethics, and Public Service and blood drive committee chairperson, also spoke highly of the N.C. State community as a whole.

“We’re seeing more and more people are aware of this drive. They are aware of the impact that N.C. State

can have—the impact that we do have—through this drive,” Green said. “I personally think it’s becoming a part of our culture here.”

According to the Red Cross, someone needs a blood transfusion every two seconds.

Kara Lusk Dudley, the communications program manager for the American Red Cross, said that N.C. State students helped ease that need on Friday.

“It’s a really great partnership, to see how the Red Cross and N.C. State come together,” Lusk Dudley said.

“A lot of folks don’t realize how important blood is and how much it’s needed. It’s constant. It’s not just during the summer. It’s not just during Christmas time. It’s every day.”

Lusk Dudley went on to explain that every pint of blood donated can potentially save three lives. That’s because blood can be separated into red blood cells, plasma and platelets, each of which can be donated to a separate patient. “[Giving blood] is just a really important thing, and I think it’s really great that we have this partnership with N.C. State,” Lusk Dudley said. “Without you guys, we couldn’t be serving our patients at the hospital.”

Compared to other North Carolina schools, N.C. State ranks fairly well in terms of donor participation. Last June, UNC-CH students donated only 804 total pints.

However, Appalachian State University swept the 2012 competition with around

1,300 pints.

“There’s a big competition among the different universities in North Carolina,” Lusk Dudley said. “Next month [ASU] is going to have their drive again. I think N.C. State’s hoping to get their [donation count] up high enough so they can still beat App State.”

To help the Wolfpack win in that rivalry, students donated not only their blood but also their time.

Michael Blyer, a freshman in engineering, waited in line for over an hour. However, Blyer said the possibility of helping someone else was worth the wait.

“I don’t have anything to lose,” Blyer said. “If I’m helping someone else, that sounds good to me.”

After making it through the line, students donated approximately one pint of blood each. They were given a chance to rest and then directed to a recovery room where they were provided sugary drinks and light food.

“Sugary drinks are actually a really good thing,” Lusk Dudley said. “I don’t normally drink sodas but when I donate blood, it’s kind of a must because you’ve got to get those sugars back—a Sprite or regular Coke, those are good—and no exercise.”

At the end of the day, despite the long wait, the needles and the recovery process, the joy of helping others far outweighed the costs Friday.

“I’m just glad I can come here and help other people,” Blyer said.

called the ACT a “silly exam.”

“After taking [the ACT], I think the SAT is a more difficult test, and I don’t think either should be required for anyone to take it,” Ross said.

“I guess take the SAT or ACT for college admission, but that’s about it.”

However, Griffin said the statewide test is a positive thing because it will give high school students an idea where they stand on college readiness.

The N.C. State Entrepreneurship Initiative set up boards that people could write down business ideas.

“The Entrepreneurship Initiative is an entrepreneurship organization that promotes small business and entrepreneurship for N.C. State students,” said Tasso Von Windheim, a senior majoring in material science engineering.

“Right now we have about 20 or 30 or so people who come to regular meetings and we basically help them network from around the school or around the area. Even if you don’t want to start your own business we help people get in touch with other start-ups [after they graduate].

Von Windheim said those interested in the group can check them out on Facebook, and meetings are every other week in the Garage building on centennial campus.”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s the SAT or ACT, but I think it is a good thing to have one or the other so every high school student has a college qualifying test score,” Griffin said. “Whether it shows they are ready or not is a different question but for all of them to at least have that score I think it gives them a chance when they apply to have a complete application, to have a baseline to go on.”

According to Griffin, 67 percent of prospective students submitted ACT scores when they applied to N.C. State in 2012.

The ACT, a college readiness test created by ACT inc., is used to measure how well high schools prepare North Carolina students for college.

However, ACT inc. released state and national average test scores that show a decline in test scores for the 2013 high school graduating class.

Students’ poor performance may be a direct impact from an increase in the number of test takers in the state.

As of 2012, high school juniors in North Carolina are required to take the exam, making North Carolina one of nine states to have a 100

percent participation rate among students.

In the past, North Carolina’s high school students have led the nation in ACT scores but only when 20 percent of students took the exam.

Even though North Carolina’s scores dropped, the Department of Public Instruction said this has been a trend in other states that have 100 percent participation among their students.

According to a press release from the Department, the state of Kentucky had similar results during its first year (2007-08) of implement-

ing a statewide ACT testing requirement. However, Kentucky students steadily increased their average ACT scores after the first year.

In the same press release, North Caroline State Superintendent June Atkinson said she was not surprised by the decline in average scores.

“When we began this process, we knew our first scores would be lower, but it is important to get a true picture of where we are in order to improve,” Atkinson said.

According to ACT inc., the number of ACT test-taking

graduates has increased by 617.6 percent in North Carolina between 2009 and now.

Schools are a lso held more accountable in preparing students for college-level work because the ACT also tests students’ abilities in science, a subject not covered by the SAT. “The ACT was selected as the state’s new college readiness measure for high schools because it measures science as well as mathematics, reading and English,” a North Carolina Department of Public Instruction press release said.

Feeding homeless people should not be illegal Moore Square in Downtown Raleigh is home to a number of groups that give out food to hungry and homeless people on weekends, when soup kitchens do not operate. This Saturday, one such group, Love Wins Ministries, arrived at Moore Square to give out free breakfast. But for the first time in six years, the group-members were met by police officers and told that they would be arrested if they distributed food. No representative of the Raleigh Police Department was willing to tell them which ordinance specified their actions to be illegal. Human Beans Together was another group that distributes food downtown, which had its permit denied on Saturday.

The Raleigh chapter of Food Not Bombs, which is a network of autonomous collectives serving free food to hungry and homeless people, distributes food at Moore Square on Sundays. Yesterday, Food Not Bombs arrived at its usual location ready to give out food, or at least hoping to. But given the events of the previous day, they were accompanied by Love

“I think that’s already the wrong question because nuisance shows a wrong attitude because we’ve basically made it in our society illegal to be homeless and so people are always quick to assume the most negative so that we do not have to deal with our conscience and not helping people.”

Wins Ministries and Human Beans Together, along with Occupy Raleigh and many other citizens showing solidarity for these groups and their actions. But whether in anticipation of this support or because of orders from other city officials, no police officers were present yesterday to stop Food Not Bombs from distributing food, though, out of fear of the police officers and potential arrest, the number of homeless people present to collect food was lower than normal.

Mayor Nancy McFarlane was present at Moore Square today, along with many City Council members, all of whom made it clear that the crackdown on Saturday was the city administration’s, and not the City Council’s, doing. McFarlane called Raleigh’s Chief of Police and made sure that no one would be arrested until Councilor Mary-Ann Baldwin’s

On Aug. 28, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and hundreds of thousands of other Americans gathered for the March on Washington at the National M a l l to “c a s h a check.”

The “check,” which Megan King said Ellisor came Deputy back Viewpoint Editor marked “ i n su f f ic ient f u nd s” for African Americans, guarantees Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness to all Americans.

This week is that march’s 50th anniversary, and though this might seem like reason to celebrate, we must look at the facts and ask, “Has anything really changed?”

It would be ignorant to assume that just because the United States implemented civil rights laws, this nation is free of racism and racial profiling.

Trayvon Martin’s death is one of the most recent, relevant and tragic examples

of racial profiling. As Martin Luther King III said at the anniversary march, “the tears of Travyon Martin’s mother and father remind us that, far too frequently, the color of one’s skin remains a license to profile, to arrest and to even murder with no regard for the content of one’s character.” George Zimmerman, the Hispanic neighborhood watch volunteer who killed Martin, was acquitted of manslaughter and second-degree murder.

Because of Florida’s “stand your ground” law, Zimmerman got away with murder.

It’s not a stretch to reason that Martin’s race is part of the reason Zimmerman found him “suspicious.”

In less severe scenarios, minorities are subjected to questioning (rather than death, as Martin was). Earlier this month, Transportation Security Administration officers at Boston’s Logan International Airport claimed that their co-workers had been using race as a basis for selecting people to question. Among those targeted for secondary screenings are Mexicans, African Americans and Brazilians. Additionally, in New

York City, the police department employs stop-and-frisk tactics. According to the New York Civil Liberties Union, blacks and Latinos made up close to 90 percent of people stopped from 2002 to 2011, yet 88 percent of those stopped were innocent.

You would hope that the politicians who represent us are above racism, but it turns out they are some of its worst proponents. Selfishness and competitiveness have resulted in gerrymandering, or the process of manipulating electoral district boundaries to create partisan advantages. North Carolina’s 12th congressional district, which runs in a narrow, cumbersome line from Charlotte to Greensboro, is a clear example of gerryman-

dering. Its residents are 47.2 percent white, which is only slightly more than blacks, who make up 44.6 percent of its population. Because of the large black presence and the tendency of blacks to vote Democrat, the district has been exclusively Democratic since 1947. Racial gerrymandering is meant to ensure that there are constituencies where African American and Latino representatives are sure to win. First of all, this assumes that minorities cannot win districts on their own and where their race is not heavily present. Moreover, racial gerrymandering is intentional segregation.

So when hundreds of thousands of people gathered at the National Mall for the March on Washing-

gry and exasperated.

But regardless of which stance is taken, there seems to be an underlying issue that does not allow for agreement: What what is a person? Who makes the cut, and perhaps more problematically, who creates the guidelines? When we get to the heart of this matter, we see that by the very way they are framed and agreed upon, rights are a muddle of construct. And not just that, but our rights, and indeed, our very personhood, stand on scarily flimsy and uncertain ground.

A simple exercise can help decide what our own personal definition of what a person is. Simply write down the qualities that define a person. Some examples include communication, intelligence, and the ability to reflect and

love. Dolphins and many other non-human animals are extremely intelligent, communicate, and demonstrate the ability to ref lect and show what some might call love. Thinking even more critically, define what each of these qualities mean. What constitutes communication?

What actually defines love or affection? Does the ability to reflect include the ability to analyze and connect the past to the present and possibly the future? Does intelligence count if it cannot be communicated or understood? All of this is imperative to be made clear.

Once such a list has been made, so has the decision as to who should be granted rights. If “the ability to contribute to society” is on that list, you might have just

stripped your elementary school self of rights, along with fetuses and humans in comas. If your list included “the ability to communicate with other members of society” or “language” you might have taken all rights from those with severe autism. On and on, this list might take away rights from those who maybe aren’t able to reproduce or make sound decisions.

Perhaps as a person who meets all those guidelines, this is not such a bad thing.

However, if someone is of a different gender, a different age, a different race or ethnicity, a different species or perhaps simply has a different way of communicating, their rights have dwindled considerably. Even someone considered a person with full rights

Law and Public Safety Committee has had a chance to, according to McFarlane’s statement, “bring all the partners together for a transparent discussion to work out a plan to address the questions surrounding this issue.”

The Technician believes that regardless of the “questions” that surround this issue, feeding homeless people should not be illegal. We believe that concerns regarding public safety (regarding potential waste generated at such distributions), or possible unstated ideological concerns that feeding homeless people encourages “mooching,” do not stand up against the sheer good and necessity of feeding people who need to be fed. Thus, we urge the city authorities to do the right thing and encourage all such groups who wish to distribute food to the hungry.

If the city wants to follow a policy of gen-

trification—i.e., renovating an area so as to have it better conform to middle-class taste, and ridding a place of homeless-people-free is a part of this—this should not come at the cost of homeless people suffering. But as is seen from the revitalization projects at Moore Square, and closer to us, the development along Hillsborough Street, homeless people will suffer. The Technician disapproves of this.

As should be unnecessary to state, homeless people are dignified people too, and many (if not most) of them are in their situations through little fault of their own.

Also, if feeding people on a sidewalk—public property—is illegal … then looking back at Gov. Pat McCrory offering cookies to women’s right activists by his mansion last month, it seems like an arrest warrant has been long pending. Or, of course, we can keep on allowing people to give other people food.

right now isn’t secure of them­ — a stroke, a car accident, a decision to change how one views oneself could wrench away these rights. Their quality of life is now left up to whoever might have compassion toward them, which is a far cry from rights to call upon as inherently one’s own.

Rights as a person, as a human, as a sentient being are either acknowledged or not­—to say they are granted is romantic.

If this is disturbing, then keep in mind that neither you nor I get to decide who is granted rights. It’s a “majority that decides all” kind of decision, and that’s much more disturbing.

Hopscotch keeps original vision alive Taylor Quinn Staff Writer

The Hopscotch Music Festival, founded by Greg Lowenhagen in 2009, will feature 175 bands and talent from Raleigh-based to international icons, all performing in a single weekend—this year the weekend of Sept. 5.

“I started Hopscotch when I was working at The Independent Weekly, the Triangle’s weekly newspaper,” said Lowenhagen, “It came about when I asked some friends who were venue owners and musicians about what big weekend of bigger national, international and local festivals I should put on my calendar but they said there wasn’t anything.”

Though the festival is in its fourth year, Lowenhagen said the original vision still remains.

“The vision was exactly what it is now. It’s meant to be a weekend of music for local bands and bands that come from out-of-town to Raleigh, so we can show downtownRaleigh off,” Lowenhagen, said. “We make sure to mix the local and national acts but we maintain 35 to 40 percent of the bands in the festival to be local.”

According to Lowenhagen, putting this show together is a lot of hard work.

“It’s basically a year’s worth of work, we start planning around two weeks after, and we wrap up the finances for that year’s festival a week

after the event,” said Lowenhagen, “then we start looking forward to next year’s.”

Lowenhagen and his team of “two and a half ” members—including full-time employee and general manager Becky Ramino and parttimer and co-director Grayson Currin—do mostly all of the behind-the-scenes work.

This includes working with sponsors, booking agents, bands, venues, the city of Raleigh, police officers and private security.

“We are still a bit of a start up business. If you look at our model, we pour most of our money into talent and then there is a wide variety of other costs that come along with producing an event this size,” Lowenhagen said. “We don’t have a lot of money left over to pay ourselves because we have to pay staff, so we try and do it with as few people as possible.”

The festival requires 15 employees the week leading up to the event and another 300 employees for the weekend itself. Two hundred and eighty volunteers also devote some of their weekend to making sure the festival runs smoothly.

According to Josh Poole, a junior in mechanical engineering, a lot of people volunteer so they don’t have to pay for their tickets.

Tickets for the festival ranges from 40 to 180 dollars, Lowenhagen explained.

“Basically we have two main forms of income—we

sell tickets and we sell sponsorships, that’s a big part of it,” Lowenhagen said.

Lowenhagen said the team does not take in much revenue between after the event until about January.

“The majority of the revenue goes to the talent, so it takes a good amount of money to book 175 artists,” Lowenhagen said, “All of the bands at Hopscotch get paid; over half of our budget is going to the bands.”

According to Iggy Cosky, front man for The Lollipops, his band is getting $150 for playing Hopscotch. He considers the publicity from playing main stage a part of their payment.

“I think the most we got paid was like 500 bucks at Kings, but sometimes we will play a show and only make like 75 bucks and split it five ways,” Cosky said. “Well I mean we typically get paid in beer and fun times and high fives … Grayson [Currin] and Greg [Lowenhagen] are just giving us great opportunities. They have a festival that showcases local talent but also mixes in national talent making a big festival and I think it’s really beautiful.”

According to Lowenhagen, a lot of the costs aside from booking bands are paying the off-duty police officers, getting security for the main stage and paying those extra employees—then paying themselves a bit.

Lowenhagen explained that he and Currin choose the

bands that perform according to the same process they have used since year one.

“We just look across the board and see what is going on in music now, we look at what is going on in the Triangle, who’s producing records and who’s actively working.”

According to Lowenhagen, a wide variety of different acts perform at Hopscotch including everything from hip-hop and electronic to metal and folk and indie rock—including a band called the Lollipops.

Front man of The Lollipops, Iggy Cosky, explained that his band owes their spot on the main stage to both Greg Lowenhagen and Grayson Currin.

“Grayson [Currin] was the one who had confidence in us to put us on the main stage, he is really supportive,” Cosky said, “He is a force to be reckoned with, but he is also really rad.”

Cosky writes all of the music for the band and said the band is headed in a new musical direction.

“When we first started it was kind of like bedroompop but I think we are going to try to make it sound a bit bigger,” Cosky said. “I have been really obsessed with

raises a few questions about ulterior motives behind the legislation.

“If this bill was aimed toward any other type of medical procedure such as clinics that operate under dental care or any other medical procedure it wouldn’t be as big of a political issue–I think people would be in favor of modernizing health standards and regulations,” Bradley said.

Moreover, the Affordable Care Act in North Carolina will no longer cover abortion procedures.

“It opts out of using State dollars for abortions except in the case of rape, incest or when the mother’s life is in danger,” Bradley said.

According to Bradley, 17 other States have this provision.

The abortion provisions in Senate Bill 353 were originally put into House Bill 695, an anti-Sharia law

bill. However, as they were placed into House Bill 695 late at night–right before the vote– the Senate decided to pass a second reading.

Because of this, Gov. McCrory threatened to veto House Bill 695 unless significant changes were made. Within hours of this announcement, the drafters of Senate Bill 353 added provisions to the bill that were almost identical to the ones made to House Bill 695. “[The provisions] had already passed the House of Representatives and had been debated in the Senate,” Bradley said. “It wasn’t new legislation that no one had heard of.

It had been discussed for several months.”

However, not all of the members of the general assembly were informed of the additions until three minutes before the debate and vote on Senate Bill 353.

For example, Rep. Joe Sam Queen, @JoeSamQueenNC, tweeted, “New abortion bill being heard in the committee I am on. The public didn’t know. I didn’t know. #ncga” “The process for passing this bill was atrocious,” Stein said. “It was

never debated in committee.

It was introduced late at night and originally attached to an antiSharia law bill, and then it passed the Senate. And then the House attached it to a motorcycle safety bill, again, having nothing to do with reproductive health.”

“It was inserted into the Motorcycle Safety Bill, but it received, I believe, up to 10 hours of debate,” Bradley said. “It was thoroughly discussed … The Senate at 695 was the only time it was debated at night, that’s where the criticism came from, but after that it was all debated during the day.”

Gov. McCrory signed the bill into law on July 29, receiving both praise and criticism.

“This legislation does not restrict abortion—it is meant to provide safety and updated regulations for women who seek abortions,” Bradley said. “I think that it’s unfair to operate medical clinics in sub-standard conditions.”

“They did this rush job because they knew that they were restricting women’s access to health care and that women would be outraged,” Stein said.

Raleigh concert venues attract all types Grant Golden Staff Writer

Talented musicians from all walks of life call the state home, mostly because the state is filled with fantastic venues and an always eager and attentive crowd.

While Chapel Hill-Carrboro may be credited with putting the state on the map with its flux of college rock acts like Ben Folds and Superchunk in the 1990s, Raleigh has quickly become the hub for some of the state’s most exciting musical happenings.

September marks not only the return of Hopscotch—North Carolina’s claim to fame as a highly touted music festival—but also the first Raleigh installment of the International

Bluegrass Music Association.

Both festivals boast awe-inspiring lineups, with internationally acclaimed artists like Steve Martin and Allison Krauss stopping through for the IBMA and swiftly rising acts like Local Natives and Earl Sweatshirt joining iconic artists like John Cale and The Breeders for Hopscotch.

But festivals are only the beginning. Raleigh is home to various venues that consistently host acts from a wide array of genres. Looking for a sleek mixture of talented locals and acclaimed indie acts? Then head to Kings Barcade, a 250-capacity venue that’s seen artists like The Avett Brothers, M83, Kurt Vile and Ty Segall within the past three years. Kings is an excellent place to see larger indie acts in a

smaller, more personal setting that makes for a truly special show.

Kings Barcade also hosts a monthly dance party, Discovery, which highlights both local and internationally acclaimed DJs, as well as other quirky events, such as this week’s five dollar contestant entry spelling bee (Aug. 28).

The Lincoln Theatre also serves as an excellent place to check out a wide variety of music. Within the next few months the 800-seat theater will host a slew of well known metal, electronic, country, indie and folk acts from across the country. Lincoln Theatre feels like a huge venue despite its mid-sized capacity, the theatre has fantastic acoustics and a large standing-room floor along with a balcony for when downstairs gets a bit too crowded.

Of course, some shows warrant a packed out arena, filled with people cheering for A-list performers. PNC Arena is home to both the Carolina Hurricanes and N.C. State’s basketball team, as well, so the biggest productions that stop through Raleigh will probably find their way stopping through PNC. But PNC isn’t the only go-to for large-scale touring artists in the great Oak City. Downtown Raleigh’s Red Hat Amphitheater is a fantastic concert experience, an open-air venue that’s right in the thick of downtown Raleigh.

The venue’s backdrop is the gorgeous shimmer wall, an excellent sight to bestow while waiting for acts to take the stage.

drew a foul on Longwood inside the box. The resulting penalty kick by junior defender Shelli Spamer put the Wolfpack in front 2-1.

But the Lancers would not go away. Spencer wasted little time in answering Spamer’s goal, this time taking matters into her own hands with an individual effort.

Spencer took the ball off a fortunate bounce and shot from the top of the box, finding the back of the net as the ball deflected off of a State defender. Spencer, who came off the bench for Longwood, led her team with three shots on goal.

With time winding down and the game seemingly destined for extra time,

State’s junior forward Jennie Krauser took the ball down the right flank and crossed it into the box.

Stengel, who also scored in Friday’s win over Navy, out-jumped the Longwood defense and headed past Hall with 44 seconds remaining, effectively sealing the outcome.

“It was just a cross from right midfield,” Stengel said of her goal. “It was a perfect ball, and I just put it in.”

“I was disappointed by our performance tonight,” Santoro said. “I’m happy we won, but we have a lot of things to work on. But two wins to start the season is never bad.”

The Wolfpack return home to face Georgia Southern on Friday night. Kickoff at the Dail Soccer Stadium is at 7 p.m.

“We have two projects that have been put in queue-- the Reynolds renovation and then this indoor practice facility,” Lipitz said. “Those are the two big projects that athletics will pursue in this capital campaign.”

According to Lipitz, the facility will include a 120-yard regulation size football practice field, along with sprint

lanes, ground pits and pads for track and field athletes.

“Whenever you think of a practice facility, you think of a traditional practice with a team out there,” Lipitz said.

“We really anticipate it being one of the most utilized [facilities] year round because you have traditional practice but you also have strength and conditioning training workouts.”

“In terms of the strength and conditioning programs, that’s going to be something where that program can utilize it for all 23 varsity sports.”

match, eventually punished the Pack for its wastefulness in the 83rd minute.

After the Wolfpack gave away a free kick in its own left corner, Seahawks midfielder Mateo Cardona hooked a low shot past freshman goalkeeper Jonathan Davis.

Both teams had last minute opportunities to grab win-

ning goals after Cardona’s equalizer, but the game finished in a 1-1 tie.

“Nobody wants to get scored on, but I think we had a positive reaction to them scoring,” Wannemuehler said. “We took the ball out of the net and went right back at them for six minutes, but there just wasn’t enough time

to score another goal. Part of preseason is learning from mistakes.”

“Overall I thought they were a pretty direct team and hard to play against,” Findley said. “But we had plenty of chances to finish the game off and we didn’t and that’s probably the biggest frustration.”

WOMEN’S SOCCER VS. GEORGIA SOUTHERN Dail Soccer Field, 7 p.m.

In its final tune-up before the regular season begins Sept. 6, the N.C. State men’s soccer team tied with UNC-Wilmington on Saturday night in Raleigh. The Wolfpack went into halftime leading 1-0, but the Seahawks found an equalizer with six minutes left in the game.

“I think some guys played really well. We had some great moments,” head coach Kelly Findley said. “But we’re a little bit too up and down, and we need to get some consistency with our performance.”

The Wolfpack dominated the first half, having the majority of possession, which forced the Seahawks deep into its own half to defend. UNCW was happy to play the cat-and-mouse game, absorbing pressure and attempting to Pack on the counterattack.

The beginning of the first half didn’t see either team produce many goalscoring opportunities, but eventually State’s offense began to carve out chances.

The Pack’s first good chance came in the 24th minute when senior midfielder Nazmi Albadawi dribbled into the heart of the Seahawks defense. As the Seahawks defense collapsed on him, Albadawi passed to junior forward Nick Surkamp who was running across the face of the goal.

With a defender at his back, Surkamp turned

and shot quickly but fired his effort well high of the Seahawks goal.

Seven minutes later, the Wolfpack had another opportunity to open the scoring, this time through senior midfielder Alex Martinez on the right wing. Martinez passed to freshman forward Davi Ramos, whose shot was blocked by a Seahawk defender.

The game became livelier at the close of the first half as both teams looked to open the scoring before halftime.

The end-to-end action played to the Wolfpack’s advantage in the 37th minute.

After earning a corner kick, Martinez played his corner short to senior defender Gbenga Makinde, who

whipped in a left-footed cross to the back post. Junior defender Clement Simonin, after making a surging run into the box, headed Makinde’s cross home with authority to give the Pack a 1-0 lead.

“We’ve been working a lot on short corners and on deliveries because that was what we didn’t do that well the first week,” Simonin said. “We missed too many chances because we didn’t cross or the delivery was poor, but this time the delivery was perfect.”

Most of UNC-W’s goal scoring chances came from the left f lank, but senior Wolfpack goalkeeper Fabian Otte was never seriously troubled throughout the first half.

State went into the break with

The freshman beat his defender on the right wing and sprinted into the box, where senior midfielder Danny DiPrima was waiting 10 yards from goal.

DiPrima took Wannemuehler’s pass in the middle of the box and blasted a waisthigh volley towards the Seahawk goal. But DiPrima’s effort sailed high into the student seating behind the goal.

State’s offense continued to create scoring opportunities in the second half, including a glorious chance for Simonin to grab a second goal and a simple close range effort for freshman midfielder Yanni

Freshman forward Travis Wannemuehler started both halves for the Wolfpack.

Wannemuehler, the No. 33 recruit in the country, also started for State in its exhibition game last week against High Point and has made a good impression on the coaching staff.

“I t hought [Wannemuehler] had a great game,” Findley said. “I think we had a couple of young guys step up today that did really well who are going to grow a lot …

Some guys play their way into the lineup and some guys play their way out of the lineup.”

Last minute goal rescues State Luke Nadkarni Staff Writer

Coming off a victory at Navy on Friday, the N.C. State Wolfpack (20) opened its 2013 home schedule with a 3-2 win over Long wood. The Wolfpack, which gave up the lead twice, got a late winner from freshman midfielder Jackie Stengel to break the deadlock.

First-year head coach Tim Santoro was pleased with the sizable crowd

that came to watch the Pack’s home opener.

“The at mosphere was great,” Santoro said. “We got a lot of good support tonight.”

The game started slowly; both sides went into halftime tied at zero. Each team had six shots in the first 45 minutes, but both goalkeepers were equal to the task. N.C. State’s freshman goalkeeper Karly Gustafson tallied five saves on the evening.

All the f ireworks took place in the second half. Junior midfielder Jessica Baity

put the Wolfpack on the board in the 64th minute off an assist from junior defender Kasey Koballa.

Koballa passed to the top of the box and Baity did the rest to give the Pack a 1-0 lead.

That lead did not last long as t he Lancers’ Amanda Spencer evened the score barely six minutes later with an assist by Gina D’Orazio. The score remained tied until the 79th minute when State
