CIA whistleblower to speak on U.S. torture programs

Former CIA official turned whistleblower John Kiriakou will give a talk entitled, “The American Legacy of Torture,” at 7 p.m. in 210 Park Shops Thursday. Kiriakou served a 30-month prison sentence in 2013 as part of a plea deal after exposing the CIA’s torture program. Kariakou was the first U.S. official to confirm that torture was official policy and that the policy was approved by the president.

New businesses open on Hillsborough street Lindsay Smith Staff writer

Several new businesses are opening on Hillsborough Street this week as part of the ongoing renovation of Hillsborough Street, including the opening of CVS Pharmacy, Aloft Raleigh, Liquid State and the reopening of I Love NY Pizza.

Many private developments either opened this week or began construction, according to Jeff Murison, executive director of the Hillsborough Street Community Service Corporation and member of Live It

Up!. Murison said he hopes these will bring new opportunities and exciting times to the street.

“I t hin k for students, and for faculty and staff, and alumni and residents around the Hillsborough area all these new businesses are going to give them a much wider selection of things to do; not just diversity, but higher quality, more urban and a metropolitan high energy factor,” Murison said.

The CVS Pharmacy below Stanhope opened Monday morning and is now hiring, according to Bla ke

Street parking and designated parking in the Stanhope deck will be offered for those customers.

Parking has always been a concern for students when it comes to the opening of new businesses. Some students have reported taking advantage of the free parking while the construction is still going in.

Along with the pharmacy, the space under Stanhope will also include an IHOP and a new pizza joint, Pieol-

McCrory makes HB 318 law Staff Report

The Protect North Carolina Workers Act, which Gov. Pat McCrory signed into law Wednesday at the sheriff’s office, changes the way immigrants can legally identify themselves.

The bill, formally known as House Bill 318, was passed amidst a large amount of controversy. For most nights this month, protestors have voiced their opinions outside of McCrory’s house.

Now, North Carolina cities can no longer accept forms of identification that are not from a U.S. agency.

The acceptable forms of identification are pay stubs, utility bills, housing contracts, property tax receipts, automobile insurance policies and financial statements from financial institutions regulated by North Carolina.

Immigrants may no longer use documents from foreign embassies as identification.

The limited forms of identification will affect those applying for work in government agencies, as well as those applying for food stamps.

2015

Raleigh, North Carolina

Also in this bill, cities are prohibited from enacting what are k nown as “sanctuary city ordinances.” This means that cities cannot pass laws that allow more forms of immigrant identification than are laid out within House Bill 318.

These sanctuary cities include Chapel Hill, Durham and Carrboro, as well as some other municipalities.

Critics say the bill is unfair to people of low or no income because it will make it more difficult to obtain food stamps and apply for jobs.

Critics also claim that it reduces the safety of the state by discouraging those without proper documentation to report crimes.

Proponents argue that the bill acts as an aid to law enforcement, giving officers greater ability to enforce the law.

In a public statement, McCrory said, “Today, North Carolina is standing up for the rule of law, which is central to North Carolina’s values and our country’s values. Public safety officials must have the flexibility and tools to investigate crimes and sanctuary city policies deprive law enforcement of these tools.”

As Raleigh grows as a city, changes must be made to the infrastructure in order to keep up with the demands of the growing population.

Key areas that were identif ied as needing change were those surrounding Hillsborough Street and Cameron Village. To that end, a team of city planners, advisors and council members held a public discussion Wednesday to talk about the proposed changes and gauge what the Raleigh community wants as the City of Oaks changes.

The development plans, which are available to the public online, outline five districts in need of development. The districts stretch along Hillsborough from Gorman Street to Saint Mar y’s Street and along Oberlin Road up to Cameron Village.

Stan Harvey, a consultant designer from Lord Aeck Sargent, spoke to the public to introduce the finer

points of the development plan. According to Harvey, one of the focuses of the revisions will be creating unique districts in the Hillsborough and Cameron Village areas, while respecting current residents.

The draf ted plans describe Hillsborough Street as an area in need of improvement with care given to quality of design. Harvey said that changing the sizes of new buildings along the street would help to create a better visual aesthetic.

“We don’t want to make ‘Hi l lsboroug h Ca nyon’, where every building is one height,” Harvey said.

Not all residents in attendance agreed with the proposed changes. Some who lived in the areas marked for rezoning voiced concern about hearing their homes referred to as “areas of opportunity” in the proposed plan. Harvey said that all development plans would be evaluated with concern of current residents’ needs.

Sustainable roads thesis wins research competition Conor Kennedy Staff Writer

H a r it h a M a l l ad i, a n NC State Ph.D. candidate studying civil engineering, won first place and $1,000 Wednesday at the annual Three Minute Thesis competition for her presentation on more sustainable roads.

The Three Minute Thesis competition is an international competition in which Ph.D. candidates present their theses, a process that can sometimes take up to nine hours, in fewer than three minutes. This challenges the doctoral students to condense their impressive research into a format that is easily understood by the public. Competitors were judged on comprehension and the content of the material, as well as the presentation’s level of engagement.

Malladi’s presentation, “Reduce and Recycle: How to Turn Our Black Roads Green,” addressed the issue

in publicity of research documents as a good thing, allowing knowledge to spread.

Dunn also predicts changes in the peer review process.

Many journal articles get peer reviewed by graduate students, which means that many problems in the articles could easily be overlooked.

“You could do a thousand different things, but we don’t

surrounding roads in the United States.

“The United States has the longest road network in the world with enough roadway to circle the globe over 100 times,” Malladi said.

This vast road network creates an enormous energy footprint from the amount of heat that must be generated to produce all the asphalt. Part of Malladi’s solution, and the subject of her research, were new lower temperature asphalt mixtures. Because the asphalt doesn’t need to be heated to as high of a temperature when it is being produced, it takes less energy.

This material would also be easier to recycle when new roads needed to be built and would also save the construction industry 30 percent on its initial costs.

Tahmid Latif, a Ph.D. candidate studying electrical and computer engineering, was the competition’s first runner-up, and Mathew Melillo, a doctoral candidate study-

ing biochemical engineering, won the People’s Choice Award.

Latif ’s presentation was about his research on the use of electronically controlled roaches in first responders’ efforts.

“We believe these roach bots will be able to help first responders save valuable time while remaining cost effective,” Latif said.

The bugs would be controlled by small electrical impulses sent into their antennae by electrodes placed on their backs. His research aimed to answer two questions: How well would these electrodes perform over time and how do they affect the roaches? The bugs would be used to save responders time by mapping the area.

Melillo presented his research on how liquids interact with various polymer materials. He compared the process of creating these polymers to spaghetti and meatballs, using the metaphor to explain

because in 1750 we didn’t,” Dunn said. “I hope that your generation actually gets in and messes things up a bit.”

Owen Mundy, a professor at Florida State University, spoke about another aspect of society that has been reshaped by the Internet: privacy. During his presentation on Tuesday, Mundy spoke about his project I Know Where Your Cat Lives, a website that shows cats at their exact locations on a world map. This undertaking began when he was posting pictures of his daughter on In-

stagram. As he uploaded them, he noticed that the social media website was keeping track of his location. This inspired Mundy to raise awareness of the apparent lack of privacy he found on social media.

In order to show people the privacy issues of image sharing sites, he began to find the coordinates of people who had tagged their cats in pictures that were uploaded to Instagram and other popular social media sites and shared them on I Know Where Your Cat Lives.

Tahmid Latif, a graduate student studying electrical engineering, was first runner-up in the Three Minute Thesis competition.

the complex connection of polymer chains. He explained that by altering these connections, he could create rigid and flexible polymers.

This kind of research can help

create specific polymer materials like the ones used to help tires grip better in the rain.

Wednesday’s competition featured the 10 finalists out of 28 original competitors from

the preliminary round. The other competitors included Karim El Roz, Gareth Jones, Johnsie Lang, Jing Li, Doreen McVeigh, Sonika Rawal and Rahnuma Shahrin.

Inevitably, this gained national and international attention. It helped raise awareness, and the majority of people whose cats were showcased on the site have increased their privacy settings as a result.

Amanda Brennan, a digital librarian for Tumblr, said that “there’s always going to be memes, even if they’re not images or videos.” Her presentation Monday, “Image Macros, Memes and Viral Content,” detailed the history of memes and how they have evolved. At the onset of meme culture, the

hamster meme came about.

The only reason this meme got started was because it was cute.

This was more than 10 years ago, and nowadays people try to use their memes as a way to get “Internet famous.” Even companies are beginning to use memes in their advertising.

Brennan showed a picture of a Krave cereal box covered in various pictures of memes.

She spoke about Denny’s, who owned its “meme-ness” by blogging about its devotion to breakfast. She gave

endless examples of famous memes that were very popular throughout her presentation, including such Internet titans as Happy Cat, Grumpy Cat and Little Grey Cat. All of these memes helped bring society together in a way that nothing else could.

CATS wrapped up Wednesday night. This symposium forces people to ask themselves how they can use the Internet to their advantage the way Dunn, Brennan and Mundy have.

said that public opinion was crucial in forming the proposal.

“We turned public opinion from meetings and online participation into an early draft of the changes,” Riemann said.

Another issue facing the area addressed by the plan is how to increase the pedestrian and bicycle paths that connect Hillsborough Street and Cameron Village. According to Harvey, Hillsborough and Cameron Village currently face certain challenges that prevent them being an efficient network for the people living in the surrounding area.

“Even though Hillsborough and Cameron Village are only blocks apart, they can feel very separated,” Harvey said.

Another public meeting will be held on Oct. 29 in Pullen Arts Center for all who wish to have their voices heard in regard to the proposed changes to the area.

The A lof t Ra leig h hotel opened Monday evening, and with a balcony that overlooks the Bell Tower, Aloft Raleigh will be a great place for alumni, students and parents, said Edie Deck, director of sales and marketing for Aloft Raleigh.

Another feature of the hotel is its bar, W XYZ, which shows great potential as a future event space and hangout, Deck said.

“We really want it to be a community bar where people

Below Aloft Raleigh, there will be two restaurant spaces: Gonza Tacos y Tequila and Juba la Cof fee. Both have not yet opened, but Gonza is scheduled to open sometime later this week, according to Deck.

Just one block over from the new hotel is Liquid State, a coffee, wine and beer joint.

Owner and NC State alumnus Sy Sourisak was born in Southeast Asia and infuses some of those elements in his drinks, offering even more variety to this growing street.

Liquid State will be a great place for students to study and relax, Sourisak said.

With the emphasis on new businesses and restaurants for t he st reet, resident ia l spaces have also been key to this renovation. About 2,500 residential units have been added to the street in the past two years, including Stanhope and apartments by New City Design Group, according to architect Ted Van Dyk. These residential areas are referred to by their street

numbers: 1301 and 2811 are the current apartment buildings from the New City Design Group that opened this semester, built by Van Dyk. Each of these apartments contains 3039 units, but there is more to come, Van Dyk said.

105 and 2304 are two current projects by the architect in the Hillsborough area for the New City Design Group and are set for completion sometime in 2016, according to Van Dyk. “What is interesting about these apartments is that a lot of people would rather live in these smaller set apartments buildings than the mass residentia l student complexes like Stanhope,” Van Dyk said.

“However, these apartments allow more people75004 to live here and are making Hillsborough a better place.”

On your mark, get set, Monster Dash: its second year Samuel Griffin Correspondent

Today on campus you might see some strange sights such as four ninja turtles carrying a pumpkin while jumping over hay bales.

Halloween starts early this year as the NC State University Recreation Center hosts its second-ever Monster Dash today.

The Monster Dash is a Halloween-themed obstacle course race where teams of four race around NC State’s Centennial Campus and the Raleigh area. Teams will start at the Centennial Recreation Field where they are expected to complete a secret puzzle to start the race. Once the puzzle is solved, teams will then run up the greenway to Lake Raleigh. There, teams must canoe out into Lake Raleigh, go through a checkpoint and canoe back to land. Teams will then run back up the greenway about a quarter of a mile to pick up their fifth member: a pumpkin.

“If a team doesn’t finish with the pumpkin then they can’t win,” said Will Craig, a strength and conditioning coordinator at NC State’s Rec Center and one of the committee chairs for the event.

“They must carry the pumpkin with them for the rest of the race.”

With their pumpkin, teams are expected to then race back down

the greenway again, go under a tunnel at Main Campus Drive and then run along the sidewalk to the Oval. At the Oval, teams have to complete a hay bale obstacle course. Following that is an event called the heavy carry, where tea ms must carr y t wo 250-pound barbells up between their four members around the Oval.

“They [the teams] can put the pumpkin down for this part but then they have to pick it up again,” Craig said. “The pumpkin might feel a little heavier after that.”

Pumpkins in hand, teams have one final run down Oval Drive to Centennial Campus’ lower field where their last challenge awaits them: a 75-yard low crawl under a rope net.

“It’s a lot of fun watching people in costume try and do a bear crawl,” said Amanda Averett, a senior studying animal science who volunteered to help with Monster Dash last year and is helping again this year. “It’s really easy for costumes to get caught on the net.”

“Wit h a l l of t he obstacles, [Monster Dash] ends up being a 5K run,” said Brittany Guerin, a committee chair for Monster Dash and a Fitness Coordinator for University Rec. “It’s an event that gets people out and moving, and it’s a teamwork event that

builds community.”

The first team to complete this year’s Monster Dash will receive an Adidas University Recreation gym bag.

Craig said the best places to watch the Monster Dash are Lake Raleigh, the Oval and the finish line at Centennial’s lower fields because those are where all of the obstacle course portions of the

race take place.

Monster Dash also features a costume contest before the race.

The winner of the costume contest receives University Rec merchandise.

Craig and Guerin said that at last year’s event they saw a team of teenage mutant ninja turtles, a Despicable Me-themed minion team, a pirate team and a team

of cannibals dressed to look like they were eating each other, which both Craig and Guerin agreed was their favorite.

While the deadline for team registration has already passed, those interested in the Monster Dash can come out from 6-7:30 p.m. to watch.

Dear GTI Wolfie, I grew up in NC, and joined the Cultural Exchange Network (CENet) to meet students from other countries. I was really excited to make a new friend from Brazil at my first event, but EVERY time we get together she shows up late! Last week we were supposed to meet for dinner and a movie, but she showed up so late to the restaurant we didn’t even have time to see the movie. I thought she wanted to hang out but it’s like she doesn’t care about our plans. Am I missing something here?

-Offended on the Oval Dear Offended, I can understand frustration, but it’s important to realize that cultures often have different views of time. Americans, in general, tend to be very schedule-oriented: “time is money” and schedules are meant to be set and followed. In our culture, if someone doesn’t respect your time that can feel like they don’t respect you. But if I’ve learned anything in my travels, assuming your friend doesn’t care might be barking up the wrong tree.

Brazilian culture tends to have a more flexible view of time. So, what is considered “late” for you may not seem that way to your new friend. She probably does not realize arriving late upsets you, so address the issue directly and with an open mind. Tell your friend how it makes you feel, and try to come up with a solution that works for you both. Perhaps next time you plan to meet, you can schedule a more flexible arrival time: meet at 6:30 pm for a 7 pm dinner reservation.

Boa sorte!

‘Rocky Horror’ celebrates 40 years, Halloween Emma Cathell Features Editor

Instead of the audience sitting while they waited for the film to start, they were running and dancing around. Instead of getting quiet when the lights dimmed, they cheered and chanted.

Instead of putting objects away for the movie, they were thrown. Instead of quietly watching the stage performance, the audience interacted.

Raleigh’s Rialto Theatre presents “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” every other Friday at midnight, a tradition 25 years in the making. However, Halloween is a special time of the year at the Rialto as this particular film showing will have an accompanying costume contest.

Originally a live musical performance written by Richard O’Brien, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” had its first showing in London in 1973.

It became a great success in England, so Broadway performed the musical but without immediate success. In that same year in the United States, 20th Century Fox released the film “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” Sept.

29, 1975.

This musical, “Rocky Horror,” has now hit its 40th anniversary. The film tells the story of a newly engaged couple, a mad transvestite scientist, a Frankenstein monster and extraterrestrials who are all under the same roof for a night due to a storm. Bryan Wendeln, who played the Criminologist in the Rialto’s performance, said the musical is a homage to old horror and sci-fi movies from the ‘50s and ‘60s. When the couple is in Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s house, they witness the release of his new creation, Rocky Horror, a Frankenstein monster in the form of an artificially made, physically perfect man.

In 1976, the film aired its first midnight showing in New York where it included, for the first time, audience participation, where members talked back and yelled things at the screen.

“There are these giant holes in the movie where they don’t say anything,” Wendeln said. “It’s like they’re prompting people to fill in extra dialogue.”

Beyond the audience’s dialogue, there are more aspects to its participation during the film. The audience can dance to the “Time Warp,” participate

in an underwear run and throw props including rice, toilet paper and playing cards during certain scenes.

“Most nights the audience is all into the movie, all into the callback lines, all into everything,” said Kassandra Enloe, who plays Dr. Frank-N-Furt.

“And I personally think it’s very enjoyable for the cast when the audience is enjoying what we’re doing on stage.”

The Rialto Theatre’s midnight showing of “Rocky Horror” includes more than the film, callback lines and thrown props. There are also actors who perform live in front of the screen while the movie plays.

“It is a chaos and sensory overload because what you have is a movie on a screen, people acting out the movie in front of the screen, people in the audience interacting with the movie on the screen and the people who are interacting with each other,” McLean said.

“Rocky Horror” is considered a quintessential cult classic with weekly midnight showings all over the nation, global live performances and a second — and very successful — Broadway run. Ellie Nerdy, one of the Dr. FrankN-Furt actors, said “Rocky Horror” is definitely known as a cult classic because of its 40-year duration and large fanbase.

“It’s definitely a cult,” Nerdy said.

“You can come [to “Rocky Horror”] once, and if it’s not for you, then it’s just not for you. But if you come [to “Rocky Horror”] once and you love it, you get sucked in. You want to come every week. It starts becoming something you talk about constantly.”

“Rocky Horror” also aggregated such a large fan base during the 1970s to 1990s because of it is overtly sexual delivery and its topics of being a homosexual, transgender or transvestite individual.

“I’m transgender myself, so you know it’s cool to see stuff like that,” said Larsen Saffron, a student at Pitt Community College and a Rialto attendee. “Even if it’s transvestism, which is different. It’s still cool to see that on a screen. I want to dress like him and everything.”

Not only do the audience members feel comfortable inspired by “Rocky Horror,” but the actors do as well.

“Being in the show really made me confident in myself,” Nerdy said. “No one makes fun of you for how you look

or anything. So I just got up [on stage], and everyone started seeing how beautiful I was. Eventually I was like, ‘I can do this, I can do anything.’”

The Halloween “Rocky Horror Show” is Friday at 11:30 p.m. There will be a costume contest with a prize.

McLean and Nerdy said they are expecting a full house.

“Halloween show is going to be screen accurate,” Nerdy said. “It’s always fun and always completely packed. I feel like we always end up breaking our record from the year before to the point that last year we had to turn away people. It’s like our super bowl — I will say that.”

Nerdy said “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” is something everyone should see. Nerdy said that everyone at the Rialto is very welcoming and that if “you don’t fit in anywhere else, you’ll fit in here.”

“I think people should come at least once,” Saffron said. “You got to try everything once, even if it’s not your thing, which honestly I’d be surprised if it wasn’t. If you’re the kind of person who people would tell to come to this, then I’d be surprised if it weren’t your thing.”

NC State Forensic Analysis Lab reveals, discusses secrets Alexandra Goodfred Staff Writer

Pale, skinless, silent — there’s something in Park Shops that orientation leaders mention only briefly before moving on. It is not something often discussed, though it is often mislabeled when it is brought up.

Kept under lock and key, the bones of unidentified or murdered persons reside in the Forensic Analysis Lab, often incorrectly called the Body Lab. The lab works closely with law enforcement agencies and the medical examiner’s office in North Carolina working on most of the cases that require forensic anthropological consultations.

Headed by Ann Ross and Chelsey Juarez, the Forensic Analysis Lab handles open and cold cases for the state, some being high-profile death penalty cases according to Juarez.

“Another thing we do is — if it’s an unknown individual and they’re either in an advanced state of decomposition or completely skeletonized — develop a biological profile for that person,” Ross said.

The biological profile the lab develops includes age estimation at death, height, the individual’s ancestral origin and identifiable characteristics. When working on murder cases, the Forensic Analysis Lab does trauma analysis to determine what implement was used to murder the victim by looking at the remains. The lab does not always receive clean bones to examine though.

“A lot of times they are flesh …

meaning our job is to remove the tissue so we can get down to the bone,” Ross said.

The Forensic Analysis Lab is one of several labs in Park Shops; a building originally intended for engineers but was retrofitted with lab suites when engineering made its move to Centennial Campus. There is an archaeology lab, a teaching lab where most of the teaching for osteology is done, an osteology lab where dry research is done and the Forensics Lab. “The Forensic Analysis Lab is only accessible through badge entry,” Juarez said. “So there’s badge entry on the outside of the building to get into it, and then you actually have to go through another lab, and once you’re in that lab you swipe a secret door and then go in.”

It is important for the lab to maintain security — their caseload has drastically increased in recent years, leaving them inundated with cases. As these are criminal cases, security must be high or Ross and Juarez could lose their privilege and relationship with the state.

“It’s very important that we can guarantee that nobody has fiddled around with the remains, they have to be secure,” Juarez said.

“The reason security has to be so tight is because the lab has to maintain the chain of custody and essentially it’s Dr. Ross and myself, our reputations are on the line.”

The securit y measures a nd the delivery of remains via body transport services create an air of mystery around the lab, leading to rumors of cadavers hidden in Park Shops. Ross emphasizes to those

who ask that the lab is not a body lab; they do not have full cadavers in the workspace.

“In my view, a body lab would be more like a cadaver lab, where you would maybe do gross anatomy or something, but ours is a Forensic Analysis Lab, so our role is to actually help in forensic investigations for the state,” Ross said.

Though it is rare for undergraduates to work with the lab, they do have a number of graduate students assisting them. Ross offers a class in advanced forensic anthropology for students who may want to look into the discipline as well.

“We’re in a really good position that we are curating cases from the Medical Examiner’s Office,” Ross said. We’re in a unique position to use those to teach how to do what we do, and not many universities have that. This is really unique in that a lot of these individuals perished under bad conditions, but they are being used to actually help and move the science forward and help students maybe get an insight in.”

The uniqueness and quality of the labs at NC State is one of the reasons Juarez said she made the decision to move to Raleigh and work here. Juarez earned her doctorate at the University of California at Santa Cruz in physical anthropology with a specialization in forensic anthropology “The labs here are state-of-theart,” Juarez said. “If you go to other famous labs, the labs that we have here at State are better. We have better equipment; we have more beautiful, more technologically equipped labs. It’s top of the line.”

The lab is equipped w ith a

“The students of NC State,

ALBUM REVIEW Missed Call

After getting back to my dorm from class a little later than normal, I was startled to see my roommate standing right in the doorway as I opened the door. “Holy shikes, you scared the living poop out of me,” I had screamed. She snarkily responded by exclaiming that poop is not a living organism, however she reminded me of the Halloween Bash going on that night and asked if I was still going. I told her to go ahead without me since I needed to get ready anyway.

Almost immediately, as my roommate had departed, there was a knock at the door; my friend, Stacey, was waiting for me on the other side. With little time to prepare, I quickly threw on my Elsa costume to meet with her. We rushed out so we wouldn’t miss the band perform Rocky Horror’s “Time Warp.”

A few drinks later, I checked my pockets and realized I had lost my phone. I frantically looked around for my phone, checking the bathrooms and the bar, but to no success. Stacey lent me her phone to call it. After three rings, someone answered with a light humming and a raspy giggle before hanging up. I called multiple times again afterward, but no answer. It was a lost cause and I gave up.

When I returned home, I saw my phone. It was sitting right on my dresser where I had left it.

Don’t Turn Around

I quickened my pace. I had left too late; they had warned me. Adrenaline pumped through my veins as the street lights passed by more rapidly. I finally gave into fear as I took one final glance over my shoulder. He was only half lit, his features unrecognizable except for the tube of his mask that swayed back and forth out of the light. I sprinted toward my house. My blood froze in my veins as I turned the bolt, the silhouette of the man visible in the center of the street. Sprinting up the stairs the door burst open and I dove under my bed. The house grew quiet. I slowed my breathing as best I could and held my mouth with my hand. I froze as I heard the softest of creaking in the stairway. Why hadn’t I shut the door? The man’s heavy breath amplified by his mask brought forth a scream I could barely keep at bay. His feet now inches from my face stopped, torn toenails covered in dried blood. My blood pounded in my ears like a drum I was sure he would hear. With a bang as loud as a cannon he dropped to the floor screaming, cursed breath spilling from his mask he dragged me from underneath and everything went black… Now I could see them. The person quickening their pace in the scattered light… Just don’t turn around.

Working for the Weekend

It’s amazing how little you get done when there is so much to do. I’m supposed to be doing fourth-quarter budget reports. But for some reason, everything else is infinitely more interesting than incomes and expenditures. The coffee drips lazily onto the heating pad below. I stare at my own “employee of the month” mug; a layer of oil at the top refracts the fluorescent light from above. Those supposedly energy-saving bulbs buzz incessantly.

Their atonal hymn mixes discordantly with the intermittent loud typing coming from Jake in marketing. I say hello to the guy every day, but all I know about him is that he likes watching sports. I guess we have that in common, but what do I know.

God, it’s hot in here. I pull at my collar to prevent my polyester tie and the humid heat from choking me. Maybe I’m just blaming my suffocation on those. My high school counselor said I was good at math, so I should go into accounting. I can’t believe I took her advice.

This is my life. Each second, day, week blinks by. And what do I have to show for it? A stained mug and a $60,000-per-year job. Not bad. Maybe next year I’ll get a promotion, but they’ll be giving that raise to a zombie.

Slayer, “Repentless”



Matt Quick Chainsaw DJ Listeners of Slayer’s music have come to expect a certain standard from the group and its sound, namely its signature grinding, crushing and gory thrash metal as well as its anti-Christian, anti-establishment image. On their most recent LP, “Repentless,” Slayer unquestionably delivers on those standards. Heck, one look at the album cover and the listener instantly knows exactly what they’re about to get themselves into. But before we delve into the album’s contents, a little bit should be known about the things that have transpired within the Slayer camp over the last six years or so.

Slayer’s previous album, “World Painted Blood,” was released in 2009 and featured the classic Slayer lineup of Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King on guitar, Tom Araya on vocals and bass and Dave Lombardo on the skins. But, unfortunately, soon after the album’s release, Hanneman contracted a deadly disease from a spider bite that restricted him from touring. On top of that, his chronic alcohol usage had finally caught up to him, and after years of sickness, he passed away in 2013. Also, shortly before Hanneman’s death, a pay dispute caused the band to controversially fire Lombardo. For touring, and eventually full-time purposes, the band recruited and found Exodus guitarist Gary Holt and thrash journeyman (as well as previous Slayer drummer) Paul Bostaph to fill their respective vacancies.

Additionally, on top of the personnel changes, Slayer also made the decision to leave its longtime label, American Recordings, and with it longtime producer Rick Rubin, in favor of a deal with Nuclear Blast Records, with veteran metal producer Terry Date slated to handle production.

That may seem like a lot to swallow, and it sure is. It’s a miracle that Slayer was able to put this record out, and one would expect its quality to suffer as a result of all the changes that have occurred. Truth be told, not much has changed. This is classic Slayer, with lightning-fast riffing and squealing guitar solos typical of Slayer’s signature sound.

Ferocious tracks such as “Repentless” and “Take Control” fire with deadly accuracy, and the grooving “Pride in Prejudice” and “Vices” have infectious and memorable riffing.

The only drawbacks to this album are that much of it seems like filler, largely because of the absence of variety that Hanneman typically brought to the table and that Bostaph’s robotically technical precision may not sit well with fans who have grown accustomed to Lombardo’s signature looseness.

All in all, “Repentless” is a solid, average to above-average Slayer record, and it should please most fans, largely due to Slayer’s ability to release consistent, interesting records.

Quick’s Picks: Repentless, Vices, Take Control, Pride in Prejudice

Tom Ross’s resignation is purely political A

s most of us know by now, Margaret Spellings has been elected as the president of the 17-campus UNC System, and it is every bit as Marcus personal and poBlyden litical as the UNC Correspondent Board of Governors claims it not to be.

It is clear that there is a political agenda here, but no one on the board is willing to admit that.

Instead they give us little to no reason as to why Tom Ross had to resign.

The board has made statements that Ross was forced to resign to bring in a fresh, new leader, which is arguable, but I doubt Spellings is that leader. Also, the fact that she is Republican and worked for Bush is all too convenient, which would be fine if it wasn’t for her lack of experience for this position and the ideas she has supported in the past.

It was under the Bush Administration that she helped start the No Child Left Behind Act, or as I like to call it: The One Glove Fits All Act. Anyone who has gone through the school system in America recently knows what a joy that was.

It concerns me that someone who supported a system that focused so heavily on standardized tests and drilling students on testtaking tips will be president of the University system.

Spellings has been quoted on wanting to push innovation, but laws such as No Child Left Behind Act goes against that. We were being force fed on how to take tests

T

hese days, there seems to be a lot of anti-immigration rhetoric moving across people’s mouths and through the Bryan airwaves. House Maxwell Bill 318, called the Correspondent “Protect North Carolina Workers Act,” from the General Assembly has been viewed as the most recent move against immigrants in North Carolina, and NC State students have been among those protesting its passage. The bill, which was signed into law Wednesday, has the potential to harmfully affect immigrants and their families, many of which make up the NC State student body. From the unabashed remarks of Donald Trump to growing hostility toward refugees fleeing fire and blood in the Middle East, the tension toward immigrants is palpable, although the terse feelings are nothing new. Enmity toward immigrants and “nonnatives” reaches all the way back to the United States’ own beginnings.

After being forcibly immigrated to the U.S. to work in captivity, it has taken more than a hundred years for hostility toward black people to be quenched, and the bigotry still carries on. When the Irish poured over in droves as their home country starved from the great potato famine, they were met with violence and exclusion. Ironically, the Irish joined European Americans when Chinese immigrants next came to work es-

and how to memorize instead of learn. I can’t tell you how many tests I’ve passed by just cramming the information the night before and forgetting it once I’ve handed in my Scantron. We’ve all done it, but is it really a good indicator of what we’ve learned? Does it promote innovation?

Her supporters on the board have also talked about her commitment to college affordability and accessibility. I find that interesting since she has served on boards such as the University of Phoenix, a for-profit university, and Ceannate, a student loan-collection company. As John Oliver stated on “Last Week Tonight,” for-profit schools account for 31 percent of all student loans despite only having 13 percent of the total higher education population. The reason for this is that for-profit schools, such as the University of Phoenix, are expensive, sometimes five to six times more expensive than community colleges.

Spellings has also come out in support of diversity on campus, which is great. But I wonder why she wouldn’t extend that support to PBS, instead of in 2005 demanding that “Arthur,” a popular children’s show, get rid of an episode that featured a lesbian couple.

It is clear that the board just wanted a Republican president, and the fact that they still deny that without giving any valid reasons as to why Ross is resigning is, quite frankly, insulting.

The right to be a jerk Y

ou may have heard recently about the incident when some members of fraterJames nity and sorority life Twiddy on campus used an Correspondent inappropriate concept as the basis for a party, showing a lack of respect for other people’s cultures. There has been quite a bit of talk about how bad this is and that there should be some kind of punishment or repercussion. While I find what those involved did to be morally reprehensible, I think that it is important we also use this case as an example of a time that someone did something that many find to be wrong, but we respected their right to do it. In other words, I think it is just as important to recognize their right to do this sort of thing. While I by no means support this type of behavior, it is important that we not view this situation from a purely emotional perspective, but we set aside our anger in order to evalu-

ate the situation in the fairest way possible.

I recently watched Steven Spielberg’s new film “Bridge of Spies,” and I could not help but to see some similarities (on a much smaller scale) with this incident on our campus.

If you don’t know about the story, the main character is a lawyer tasked with defending a recently captured soviet spy. The spy has a trial that involves lots of tainted evidence and should probably be thrown out.

The case is not thrown out mostly because of the general public’s perception of this spy. The public is so enraged by what the spy has done that they are not at all concerned about the spy’s rights and only respond with anger to the situation.

This is a much more extreme example of this type of situation of course, but I do think it is analogous to what is going on with this fraternity issue. In the film, the public is so angry at the spy that no one cares

about defending his rights and giving him a fair trial. Those involved in the fraternity incident have also been viewed in such a negative light that no one seems to be interested in protecting their right to do this and only want to see them punished.

In the film, there is a great scene where the lawyer wants to appeal the spy’s case to the Supreme Court because he knows that he did not get a fair trial. In the scene, the lawyer gives his case to the Supreme Court and stresses that the United States has been given the opportunity to show the Soviet Union “who we are” by treating the man portrayed as our enemy with the rights that he deserves. Shouldn’t this be true of the way that we treat those who do things that we see as wrong? It is important that we do not get so lost in our anger about these issues that we forget to respect the rights of all parties involved, even the rights of those with whom we disagree.

North Carolina’s tattered quilt sentially as slaves in the construction of railroads; both groups imparted violence on the newest countrymen from Asia. In our collective history regarding other incoming ethnicities, the only thing that appears to not have been discriminatory was our capacity to discriminate: we’ve done a bang-up job of spooning it out for all. And most recently, that hostility and political focus has been turned to newcomers from Latin America.

Have we really matured any over all the lessons we’ve learned from bigotry and nativism? What are the rationale and fears lying at the heart of these aggressive feelings, and will they ever be resolved?

It is unfortunate that many of us are so ready to turn a blind eye to the reality of the States’ birth rights. Pope Francis put it well in his address to Congress: “We, the people of this continent, are not fearful of foreigners, because most of us were once foreigners … knowing that so many of you are also descended from immigrants.” And it’s the truth. “Americans” in the modern, narrow-minded sense held by many, were never the natives of the land that became the U.S. Our nation was born from colonization by Europeans and the British; our founding fathers came on the same tide that brought other white people who were fleeing their own religious persecution. Ultimately

Climate change and clean eating: a new partnership for NCSU? Re: “A stand on climate change” (Katie Sapko, Oct. 12): Like Katie, I believe climate change is a very real issue; one we will struggle with in our lifetime. I believe wind and solar energy are key factors in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

However, important as it is, clean energy is going to be a long-term effort. What if there was something we could change right now?

Better yet: What if there was something we change right now at NC State? In 2006, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization estimated that 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions were attributable to animal agriculture.

through genocide, disease and dishonest deals, the abundant land America holds today was taken from the original natives. No wonder we’re fearful of strangers showing up to the party. Looking back into our collective memory, we may be worried that new arrivals may bring the same fate we delivered to the natives before us.

And the resentment is not without its fear mongering. Supposedly, immigrants bring to the country violence and drugs, although studies by the Immigration Policy Center show immigrant populations are the least likely to commit crime or be incarcerated. Still, fear and xenophobia are easy targets for politicians to seize on and so they do so year after year.

Supposedly immigrants are here to take advantage of our healthcare, although the claims are largely not validated and both illegals and immigrants tend to use less per person than their citizen counterparts. Supposedly, immigrants are here to take our jobs or bust up the economy, but immigrants are largely responsible for lower costs of agriculture, construction and tourism. They often end up taking jobs for pay that many citizens would refuse even though just as many immigrants are recruited and bring education and expertise to high-skill jobs that America’s innovation and industry benefit from. Immigration tends to have a net positive effect on the economy as it produces

That’s more than the entire transportation industry. These emissions are set to increase by 80 percent by 2050. So, what does this have to do with NC State?

We’ve been missing an opportunity. Other colleges across the country have embraced it (think Yale, UConn, Rutgers and more) and thus significantly increased their campus sustainability. It’s an opportunity NC State could really sink its teeth into — literally. Consider this: If each student on campus ate a ‘Just Cookie’ instead of a conventional cookie, NC State could prevent 1 Mg of carbon emissions every single year. A Just Cookie is a delectable confection made by Hampton Creek, a groundbreaking new food tech startup whose mission is to produce delicious, clean, afford-

more than it takes out, and studies have shown in the long run that it has a positive, though small, effect on native employment through expansion of industry and markets.

Supposedly immigrants threaten our culture, although arguably two of America’s most prominent cultural identities, plurality and diversity, have only widened the cultural heritage and richness of our country.

Economic and cultural concerns are valid values, but the negative impacts on them by immigrants either aren’t supported or simply not true. However, politicians continue the fear mongering about immigrants because it seizes on a powerful motivator to attract voters: fear. As politicians try to draw support by presenting themselves as solution-makers to this “crisis”, it’s important to be informed on what the reality of immigration is, instead of politically skewed versions.

One valid pressing concern is how immigration will affect our population growth. Population trends are pointing to the reality that in another 10 years, immigrants and their subsequent generations will contribute more to U.S. population growth than the native fertility rate. As our country continues to stretch the limits on its natural resources including land, air and water, growing numbers will continue to strain that which is already strained. Managing immigration may in fact become a conversa-

able food. All this by leaving out one ingredient: eggs.

It turns out that, as the UN FAO stated, producing eggs is rather taxing on the environment. It’s time NC State caught up with the likes of UConn and instigated a partnership with Hampton Creek, who also produces ‘Just Mayo’, so that these foods may be the norm in our dining halls. Friends, please join me in telling our wonderful University Dining that, like me, you’re ready to eat your way to a better, more sustainable future at NC State.

tion of preserving the health of our natural resources, although those words may not come from the current and most adamant opponents to immigration as it would require acknowledging that the environment needs protecting.

The issue of immigration is often the result of survival. Few really want to leave behind their home country and family for no reason. We’re born into our circumstances and our citizenship defined by birth is a matter of chance and privilege rather than merit or right. Immigrants traveling to foreign countries often do so because of war, persecution or lack of economic prospects, and being born into those conditions was never a choice either. It would be productive and hopeful to see politicians discussing solutions to immigration in terms of foreign investment and developing the global economy, rather than in terms of deportation and taller fences. Because in reality, we are all human beings trying to thrive on a hostile planet that is largely underwater, existing in the latitudes between two frozen poles, trying to find a stable life on what little land is not swallowed by the sea. Until we can build a world where we don’t have to migrate to survive, we can try to move toward constructive solutions rather than violence, discrimination and apathy.

What are habits of successful people?

A

s a college student preparing to embark on the “real world,” success is always on the brain. In order to achieve what I desire professionally and personally, sooner rather than later, I often turn to a mindset that is plaguing our culture—the self-help obsession.

I’m a list-maker; I have been since I was a kid. I have Katherine childhood diaries full of Waller lists—bucket lists, to-do lists, Staff Writer things-to-fix-about-myself lists. Naturally my plan of action for gaining the success I want has recently been to consult lists. There is a plethora of articles on the habits of “successful” people out there, and after reading a great deal of them, I truly discovered how fruitless they actually are.

I find people who all recommend the same things that are vague and completely worthless out of context. The breaking point when I knew I had to stop wasting my time on selfhelp nonsense came when I read some advice from the ever-pretentious Gwyneth Paltrow.

The actress attributed portions of her success to her routines — the routine in particular, nightly Epsom salt baths.

I came to the infuriating realization that most of the advice out there, especially Paltrow’s insights, are complete scapegoats from individuals who don’t want to admit the real

reasons why they are successful. There is little genuine insight, and it is helping keep people from achieving all they can.

The narrative that is often left out is the actual path to achievement. Donald Trump is an American icon for success. He is worth billions and has built his fortune in real estate throughout his career. He is not a success model for the “common folk” no matter what he attempts to get the American people to perceive. He began a company with his parents’ money, went into debt and then got out of debt with his father’s money. This is obviously unrealistic and unattainable unless you are born into wealth.

Similarly, Paltrow had famous parents in the entertainment industry. This gave her an amazing head start in acting. Her success wasn’t an accident. It wasn’t rags to riches, and she fails to relate to “normal” people.

There are countless other examples of individuals who rose to fame and fortune because of who they were born as. There are also true stories of “rags to riches” such as Trump’s own political rival, Ben Carson. However, once a certain level of success is attained, there seems to be a severe detachment from reality that occurs. Not many are willing to attribute success to luck when they have worked hard to get where they are. The perspective of the poor turned successful and rich is often particularly condemning because they tend to identify

those who are not successful are lacking work ethic because they themselves got where they are through hard work. Luck is forgotten once at a position of power.

A slew of articles all carrying a similar theme, “How to think like a rich person,” are especially condemning to the poor and middle class. There is a popular insinuation that poor people are poor because of their attitudes and habits — they think like “poor people.” Things like eating healthy and being able to get proper amounts of sleep and exercise — basically habits that innately derive from a source of money are often cited as reasons why poor people remain poor. Differing perspectives on money, such as “middle class sees money through the eyes of emotion. The wealthy see money through the eyes of logic,” criticizes an entire class of people who view money primarily as a survival tool out of necessity.

The rules of success that are blandly assigned are completely devoid of the fact that our society is set up to cater to certain group of people and that those outside the lines don’t have it so easy. Success does not have a one size fits all label. Acknowledging the true barriers of the pathways to success such as lack of money, resources, connections, looks, natural personality, race, gender, religion, and bad luck is helpful insight.

Every success story is honestly nonsense. I wish people wouldn’t tell them. There is very

little value in others’ circumstances unless they completely mirror your own. They just create despair and unrealistic expectations.

Success is not given to everyone because they wear the right clothes to a job fair. Often, it’s not even persistence and the “work and try hard” method that paves the pathway.

Passion projects are easy when you have time, money and resources but unrealistic to the college students who are working all the time to pay tuition and living expenses. The student who works hard and barely has the time and energy to complete her assignments does not have the time to do the entire extra work it takes to stand out from the crowd and be successful according to most successful people who write on the subject.

I’m not saying abandon hard work; I suggest just acknowledging that it’s often not enough.

Building relationships with the people around you and developing passions and a self-motivated work ethic are all wonderful things — if anything, goals and a passion will bring you a lot of happiness.

However, stop reading self-help articles that are irrelevant and unrealistic. Stop accepting advice from people who don’t understand your life and aren’t self-aware enough to acknowledge their own true path to success. Stop trusting the words and advice of others and dictate your own strategy for becoming the type of successful you want to be.

Radioactive air emissions from NC State W

ould you be surprised to find out that NC State is, and alRobert ways has been, Hayes a source of unGuest controlled raColumnist dioactive aerosol and gas releases into the environment? Would you be surprised to know that you are actually breathing it in right now? Would you be surprised to find out that this kind of radioactive air exposure contributes more than 200 mrem radiation dose to the average American per year, twice of that allowable for a non-radiation worker at a nuclear facility? Would you be surprised to find out that this is preventable for those willing to pay the price to avoid it?

It turns out that this is due to the nature of our environment in that the crust of the

Earth is a few parts per million uranium with even more thorium, both of which are radioactive elements and are as natural as water, soil and air. These elements decay into more radioactive elements, and so on, eventually becoming radium. Radium itself decays into radon which is both a noble gas and radioactive. Radon decays further into a series of heavy metals (which are also radioactive) that we all breathe every day and have done so from the beginning.

In fact, because radioactive decay results in less radioactivity over time, the further back you go, the more radioactive things become (including us). The scientific literature is pretty clear that life is designed to operate in radiation fields similar to those found in the biosphere

today (actually a bit higher).

Science also tells us that another primordial radioactive element is in fact essential to life on Earth: potassium.

Carbon is also slightly radioactive, and because it also is essential to life, it allows scientists to carry out carbon dating in organic material for archeological applications.

Last but not least, exposure to radon progeny is, in a strict sense, entirely preventable (as mentioned above) but you would have to walk around wearing something like a gas mask continually as well as sleep in one. That said, it is probably safe to say we are designed to handle this well enough without protection, given that things on Earth have always been this way.

”It has helped a lot as far as connecting on the global scale. You can interact with people all over the world — also with people who you might not want to have your phone number or personal information. You have the option to send an email or use social media.

You can also send more information to them besides just a voicemail or paragraph of text.”

Julius Blue senior, electrical engineering

“It’s allowed more connection with people worldwide. It’s allowed us to become more accepting of diversity and more accepting of different cultures and beliefs.”

Nora Barakat senior, nutrition

“I think that the Internet had improved the speed at which we communicate, in that I can send you an email, and you receive it almost instantly. I think that there is definitely a feeling of nostalgia when you are writing and receiving letters though, one that an email wouldn’t replace.”

“It’s definitely improved our communication because we can obviously talk to each other a lot quicker. But it’s also hindered our communication as we kind of rely on it with other people to dictate how we feel.”

Tyler Ellis senior, history

gers is sophomore Wayne Gallman, who has been lighting up the ACC. Gallman has nearly surpassed his rushing total from last season, rushing for 702 yards and six touchdowns through seven games this year. Doeren had hig h praise for the Loganville, Georgia, native.

“Their offense is an up tempo team,” Doeren said.

“Their tailback [Gallman] is playing better than I’ve seen in the last few years.”

A player to watch for the Wolfpack will be freshman wide receiver Nyheim Hines, who had a breakout game for the Pack against Wake Forest. The Garner native had three catches for 68 yards, including a 58-yard touchdown recep-

tion. Doeren said Hines contributes very well to the return game as well.

“Last year we were really bad in punt and kickoff returns,” Doeren said. “[Nyheim’s] speed helps him hit it and not dance around. He’s really helped us a lot.”

One more factor that could inf luence the game is that this will be NC State’s first game back in Carter-Finley since Oct. 4, when t he tea m lost t he conference opener to Louisville. The game time kickoff at 3:30 p.m. also helps the Pack, as NC State is 4-1 in games with 3:30 kickoffs or later this season; last year, the Pack went 6-4 in such games.

would answer three more times before the 90-minute whistle.

Virginia struck in the first minute of play when Doniak scored her fourth goal of the season, firing a shot past freshman goalkeeper Sydney Wootten off an early corner kick.

The second goal of the game came in the eighth minute when Doniak scored again from inside the box, marking her fifth of the season.

Doniak would have gotten her sixth of the season in the 11th minute, but the offsides call came late, allowing the Wolfpack to escape conceding a third.

Wootten had a huge save in the 18th minute, blocking a shot by senior forward Kaili Torres and sending it outside

of the box, where the Pack was able to clear the ball and carry it down the field for an offensive opportunity.

Doniak finally got her hat trick in the 33rd minute off a header assisted by junior midfielder/defender Megan Cox near the left post. Cox’s assist marked her fourth of the season, her third coming off of Doniak’s first-minute goal.

The fourth goal for Doniak came in the 41st minute when freshman midfielder Ayan Adu fired a cross from the right side of the box, and she sent it soaring past Wootten into the back of the net.

The lineup for NC State in the second half looked different in the back. Wootten left the game and redshirt junior goalkeeper Mackenzie Stelljes took her place in goal, a change head coach Tim Santoro has made quite a few times this season. Both keepers have rotated throughout the year.

The Wolfpack earned its consolation goal in the 59th minute when freshmen midfielders Taylor Porter and Crystal Cordova combined passes in the midfield, allowing Porter to send the ball f lying from about 36 yards out and over the head of ACC defensive player of the week and junior goalkeeper Morgan Stearns.

Porter’s goal was only the ninth that the Cavaliers have allowed this season, and it also ended their two-game shutout streak.

An NC State defensive turnover inside the box in the 63rd minute allowed Virginia to answer the Pack’s goal with a shot fired by junior forward Morgan Reuther past Stelljes.

The goal was Reuther’s eighth of the season, making her tied with leading goal scorer junior midfielder Alexis Schaffer.

Virginia capitalized again in the 74th minute on a shot fired

from 18 yards to the left of Stelljes by redshirt freshman defender Annaugh Madsen, her fourth of the season.

With just over five minutes left in the game, Virginia scored its seventh and final goal of the contest, when freshman forward/midfielder Christiana Sullivan recorded her first goal of the season off a backheel assist from Torres about 20 yards out.

The Cavaliers tallied up a total of 20 shots on the night to the Wolfpack’s four.

In the final home game of their careers, every graduating player took the field one last time in the final minutes of play with the exception of senior defender Shannon Cleaver.

The Pack will play its season finale Sunday afternoon just down the road as it takes on the No. 12 Duke Blue Devils in Durham at Koskinen Stadium.

Pack ready for Clemson showdown Joseph Ochoa

FANTASY FOOTBALL

Staff Writer

Joseph Ochoa Staff Writer

This deep in the season, most breakout stars like the St. Louis Rams’ Todd Gurley or Oakland’s Amari Cooper are not going to be available for a waiver acquisition. However, here are some players who can be solid additions in both standard leagues and deeper-league teams to help get you to the post-season.

Quarterbacks: Blake Bortles, Jacksonville Jaguars Although the Jags are on a bye week, this is the perfect time to pick up Bortles if you haven’t already. Still available in more than 30 percent of ESPN Fantasy leagues, the UCF alumnus is currently fifth in scoring for the position. He has a couple of tough matchups coming up, but the second-year quarterback is a low-end, top-tier fantasy quarterback.

Derek Carr, Oakland Raiders Another second-year quarterback, Carr has the Raiders offense rolling along with Cooper and posted his third 20-point effort of the season. While he’s currently ranked 21st in scoring amongst qualifying, the former Fresno State player has plenty of favorable matchups ahead, including Minnesota, Detroit and Kansas City, twice. He is still available in 66 percent of leagues on ESPN, so get him while you can.

Running Backs: Darren McFadden, Dallas Cowboys The injury to Joseph Randle is going to be an interesting situation to watch, especially since the Cowboys are expecting the running back to miss some time with an oblique injury, according to NFL Network’s Rand Getlin.

McFadden has been a force since the injury to Lance Dunbar, averaging 20 PPG in PPR leagues through two games.

Alfred Blue, Houston Texans Blue will have a much-increased role after starter Arian Foster was lost for the season to an Achilles tear. His last start saw him run for 139 yards and a touchdown, and even though the threat of running back by committee in Houston, Blue has potential to be low-grade starter material.

Wide Receivers: Willie Snead, New Orleans Saints Even though the starting wideout Brandin Cooks has had a less-than-stellar season, Snead is considered in some circles to be the best receiver in the lineup. Snead is second on the team in targets this year and was on the field for 81 percent of the Saints offensive plays against the Colts.

Stefon Diggs, Minnesota Vikings It was mentioned in last week’s column that Diggs is starter material, and he validated that assumption against the Lions, with a stat line of 108 yards and a touchdown on six receptions. Diggs is still available in 40 percent of ESPN leagues, and with two games against Chicago, it would be worth your time to invest in Diggs.

NC State will look to even its conference record when it takes on the No. 3-ranked Clemson Tigers at Carter-Finley Stadium this Saturday at 3:30 p.m.

During its last game, t he Wolfpack came out with authority against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, scoring four touchdowns of more than 50 yards in a dominant 35-17 win.

However, the undefeated Tigers (7-0, 4-0 ACC) are a different beast altogether, and it will take a special effort to take down one of the frontrunners for a spot in the College Football Playoff later this year.

Confidence is high after the w in in Winston-Sa lem last weekend, which marked the first win for head coach Dave Doeren in the month of October, and Doeren recognized the importance of winning on the road.

“I’m very proud of the team and the staff to get win number five in a place that historically has been very challenging,” Doeren said at his pregame press conference Monday.

The game was also a major improvement for the Pack because it was the first conference game the Wolfpack won

Junior running back Matt Dayes looks at the scoreboard video screen to see if anybody is close to tackling him during an 85-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Dayes led the team with 16 carries for 205 yards.

the turnover margin, having a +1 turnover differential.

“I thought we played pretty solid football,” Doeren said.

“It’s the first win in conference where we didn’t turn the ball over.”

Last year when the Pack played Clemson in South Carolina, the Tigers shut out the Wolfpack 410, a loss Doeren hasn’t forgotten about going into this game.

“We’ll watch [the film] with them,” Doeren said. “The guys know what happened. The guys are more worried about what they are going to do about it.”

Clemson has been dominant this season. The Tigers are currently ranked No. 3 in the AP polls and are in a position to be a college playoff team. They put on an offensive stomping of fellow ACC school Miami, throt-

tling the Hurricanes 58-0 in Miami last weekend. Much like the rest of the country, Doeren has taken notice.

“They’re a really good football team,” Doeren said. “They have excellent personnel, they have a lot of depth and they use their guys well.”

The NC State women’s golf team concluded its fall season with a sixth-place finish at the Landfall Tradition at the Country Club of Landfall in Wilmington this past weekend.

Three Wolfpack players finished in the top 25 individually as the team set a school record Sunday, surging six places up the leaderboard.

Following a disappointi ng tea m rou nd of 311 (+23) Saturday, dropping the team to 12th place, the Pack bounced back with an 18-hole school record score of 279 (-9) in the tournament’s final round.

Freshmen Laura Kowohl and Leonie Bettel, as well

as senior Rachael Taylor, led the Wolfpack, each finishing the event with a threeround score of 4-over par, good enough to tie for 24th in the 96-player event.

Junior Sarah Bae shot 9-over par, finishing tied for 42nd place and freshman India Clyburn shot 15-over, tied for 66th.

Taylor and Bettel had the Pack’s best individual rounds, both shooting 68 (-4) on Sunday. State’s other three golfers shot par or better in the final round.

Only one team at the tournament, Michigan State, produced a one-round team score better than the Wolfpack’s Sunday round.

The team returns to action in February at the Lady Puerto Rico Classic in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico.
