Raleigh,North NorthCarolina Carolina Raleigh,

BugFest generates buzz downtown IN BRIEF Raleigh man declared dead while in police custody

A Raleigh man died in police custody last week shortly after he was sedated by emergency personnel, according to a preliminary report released by the Raleigh Police Department Friday.

Carl Devince King, 52, died in the early morning on Sept. 14, shortly after he was taken into custody.

Police officers were responding to a 911 call about King acting erratically. Upon arriving to the scene officers found King sitting naked in front of his home on Slippery Elm Drive, yelling, sweating profusely and swinging a lamp. Officers grabbed the lamp and handcuffed King’s hands in front of his body. EMS workers administered “a standard dosage of Versed,” a sedative, to try and calm King. Soon after, they noticed his breathing was shallow, and he had become unresponsive.

The handcuffs were removed and EMS personnel performed CPR. Resuscitation efforts continued for 40 minutes until King was declared dead. A preliminary examination by a medical examiner did not determine any obvious cause of death. An autopsy and toxicology test will be performed.

Railway from Raleigh to Richmond to be shortened

The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences came to life Saturday as more than 35,000 visitors came to learn about, play with and eat insects at the annual BugFest.

Each year, the museum partners with NC State and other educational institutions to teach people of all ages about arthropods and their role in the environment. The event, which was held from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. featured bug-themed exhibits, crafts, games and activities.

Kari Wouk, senior manager of presentations and partnerships at the museum, attributes the attraction to BugFest’s festival feel.

“BugFest has a festival flare to it,” Wouk said. “People come to just have fun, but we manage to reel them in and help them learn about bugs. They end up learning a ton about arthropods.”

Anything remotely related to insects was fair game at this weekend’s festival. Vintage Volkswagen vehicles were on display outside, including a replica of Herbie the Love Bug. One event that drew a large crowd

Federal officials and representatives from North Carolina and Virginia have approved a final environmental study Thursday on plans for a shorter rail line linking Richmond to Raleigh. North Carolina’s Department of Transportation approved a route that allows trains to run as fast as 110 mph between the two state capitals. The proposed route cuts 35 miles from the current Amtrak path, thereby reducing the travel time from North Carolina to Washington by 75 miles. NC Department of Transportation officials estimate they will need $4 billion to buy land, lay tracks and build roads, bridges and stations along the route. Full funding for the project has not yet been secured.

Federal agency gives the go ahead for wind turbine areas off the coast

The U.S. Bureau of Energy Management has given the go ahead for three wind energy areas off the coast of North Carolina following the completion of an environmental review. According to the environmental review, there would be no significant environmental or socioeconomic impacts from issuing wind energy leases within the three areas located near Kitty Hawk and Wilmington. The areas looked at by BOEM cover about 307,000 acres.

The Union Activities Board is hosting a two-week contest in search of an NC State student musical act to open for Tori Kelly at the homecoming concert on Oct. 29.

Students have two weeks from today to submit a video of a song they would sing at the homecoming concert to the UAB website. After the two-week contest period has ended, anyone who visits the UAB website will have the opportunity to vote for his or her favorite act.

The top three videos at the end of the voting period will perform at Campout in front of Talley Student Union on Oct. 23. The UAB will also select two wildcard videos from those who were not in the top three to perform at Campout.

“When voting online, it’s just sometimes people will have more friends because of popularity,” said Jeremy Mason, UAB’s Leisure and Recreation chairman and a sophomore studying industrial engineering. “We want to make sure other artists that are really good have a chance.”

At Campout, the audience will be able to vote for its favorite performance via a live Twitter poll.

There will be a panel of celebrity judges, including the student body president and athletes, who will choose their favorite performance.

The panel of judges, along with the live Twitter poll, will determine the winner of the contest who will be announced later that night.

BOG turns BS into BA, College of Edu. gets smarter Staff Report

NC State’s request for the authority to establish a Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences was approved by the North Carolina Board of Governors Friday.

The NC Board of Governors met Friday to vote on items of importance for all UNC System institutions.

NC State’s new program is designed to “provide an important alternative path to degree for a pool of

existing students,” which amounts to about 400 students who are enrolled in the Bachelor of Sciences in biological sciences who expressed interest.

The program is staying with NC State’s mission to promote interdisciplinary scholarship by allowing students in life sciences to purse an additional major in a complementary focal area without having to spend extra time at school.

The Board also agreed to discontinue NC State’s Ph.D. in Counseling and Counselor Education and

Ph.D. in Science Education as part of an ongoing effort in the College of Education to “recharacterize … to be more effective, agile and interdisciplinary.”

The department of Counseling and Counselor Education has been combined with the department of Leadership, Policy and Adult and Higher Education, and a new degree called Educational Leadership, Policy and Human Development will be approved. Students will still be able to pursue doctoral study in

counseling and counselor education as a track within this program.

The Ph.D. in mathematics and Ph.D. in science education degrees have been combined into the learning and teaching STEM degree.

Other developments that followed from the meeting were new updates on the Board’s policy proposal regarding in-state tuition for veterans and approval of a $750 bonus for state employees, including university employees.

The microchips, which were donated by the Raleigh Kennel Club, usually cost pet owners $15 to $30.

“We do it free for one dog per family,” Hyde said.

This year, the Dog Olympics featured the Kid’s Competition Ring, an event that encouraged children to get involved and show off their pets’ talents.

The competitions were judged and narrated by professors of the College of Veterinary Medicine, which cultivated an atmosphere of excitement and energy.

The event was facilitated by the Companion Animal Wellness Club, organized by president-elect Amy Lamb, a third-year student studying to be a doctor of veterinary medicine.

“It really took a lot of support from the community to organize and staff this event,” Lamb said.

Charles Jones, the Dog Olympics committee chairman and third-year student studying to be a doctor of veterinary medicine, was also instrumental in the organizing of this event.

“Students both at the vet school and part of the undergraduate pre-vet club volunteer their time to guide people, sell merchandise, register competitors and interact in the ring,” Jones said.

available space. Most of the booths were dedicated to presenting a specific insect. Visitors were able to learn about and hold insects such as praying mantises, butterflies and even cockroaches.

One of the more obscure attractions inside the museum was the “Mosquito Box Challenge,” where visitors stuck their arms inside a box of mosquitos and saw how long they could last.

This year’s BugFest theme featured a bug familiar to North Carolinians — the cicada.

The more than 1,400 volunteers at the event wore T-shirts with cicadas on them. There was even a sand sculpture replica of the cicada bug.

Children participated in a scavenger

hunt that involved finding hidden cicada shells throughout the museum.

The keynote speaker for the event was John Cooley, a postdoctoral researcher from the University of Connecticut and an expert on cicadas.

In his presentation, Cooley told visitors about the history of cicadas and their use in art and literature. He finished his speech with information about the cicada’s periodic migration cycle, explaining how this process will bring them back to North Carolina in 2017.

The highlight of the festival for many visitors was the Café Insecta.

The Café featured several local restaurants and food trucks and gave patrons the opportunity to get a taste of entomophagy — the practice of eating bugs.

“Café Insecta prepares dishes for everyone to eat,” Wouk said. “We feed over 3,000 people bug-based dishes for free.”

The event kicked off on Friday with the Critter Cook-off. Two chefs participated in the competition. Each chef had 50 minutes to prepare a three-course meal that incorporated mealworms, superworms, crickets and cicadas.

The overall purpose of Café Insecta was to help demonstrate that bugs are a good, tasty source of protein with considerably less environmental impact than typical protein-rich foods. BugFest was founded based on the idea of Café Insecta.

“Nineteen years ago, an employee had the idea to cook bugs at a Halloween event and feed them to visitors,” Wouck said. “They had 2,000 people show up to the event, and it has grown and grown since then.”

BugFest carried on into the night during the Evening Insectival, with live bands and more activities for all the night crawlers who stuck around.

Democratizing the hall council F

rom the boondocks of North Hall to the shiny, papier-mâché Wolf Ridge, about 8,000 students call University Housing home.

However, very few realize that they do not live in an authentic democracy.

Yes, hall councils technically exist — I was a member of one for two years, even serving one semester as president.

But for the most part, rather than being vibrant forums for Gabe DeCaro student representation and Assistant engines for positive change, Opinion Editor they are anaesthetized partyplanning committees.

So, how do we fix these issues? As John Dewey said, “The cure for the ills of democracy is more democracy.” To find said “cure,” we must first characterize the “ills,” Ray Glass says in an article from the early ‘70s titled “Are Student Governments Obsolete?” He levies a critique of student governance; although the article might be dated, its wisdom is timeless, and it provides a framework for our discussion.

Firstly, when considering any government, one must first characterize the source of its legitimacy. In the case of democracies, we believe that the legitimacy to govern is derived from the consent of the governed (cf.

Locke). In a more local context, democratic organizations should strive to empower the constituents with the tools and the voice to bring about critical consciousness, political change and self-actualization (cf. conscientization).

Hall councils parade around as democracies for the students by the students, but in reality they derive their existence and authority from University Housing — a very large bureaucracy with about 130 members on staff and a budget on the order of about $50 million.

By existing at the pleasure of the administration, hall councils are totally dependent upon them for both funds and purpose. Because independence and autonomy are requisites for democracy, this dependency constitutes an act of benevolent oppression.

University Housing grants these councils the authority to organize social and recreational activities, mostly to keep up the charade of a vibrant student life. Anyone who has ever attended one of these programs is familiar with their layout: a greasy box of cheap pizza, a few 2-liter bottles of flat off-brand soda, no more

than 20 students only interacting with their immediate friend group and some superficial discussion topic. Rinse and repeat ad nauseam as the self-congratulatory National Residence Hall Honorary hands out “Of the Months” like business cards at a career fair.

The only genuine shred of political efficacy that councils are permitted is the privilege to act as University Housing’s personal sounding board/focus group. In the words of Glass, “Student participation in university governance has accomplished little except to co-opt students into helping administer the university for the goals of the administration and the governing board.”

In addition to having their hands bound by the administration, hall councils are also castrated by their own student population.

With only a four- to five-year undergraduate tenure, the student population is in constant flux. This limits the maintenance of historical perspective and knowledge of best practices.

Losing this organizational wisdom chokes the development of long-term strategy, thereby reducing the ability to develop meaningful change.

Furthermore, similar to the phenomenon of voter apathy, residents are gradually coming to the realization that hall councils are powerless farces. This manifests itself in low program attendance and lethargic participation. But rather than combating the core problem of institutional ennui, we treat it symptomatically by increasing advertisements/programming.

Although the issue of geographic representation is “resolved” through hall representatives, in reality, these positional leaders rarely dialogue with their constituents about community issues. Chalking this up to laziness would be a lazy way of dealing with the problem; instead, these representatives are suffering from the disillusionment associated with a lack of efficacy.

Probably the most detrimental factor limiting the democratization of hall councils is the lack of a theoretical framework. Philosophy applied in this way helps to ground the activities of an organization and unite its members with a purpose. The abstract notion of enrichment is typically touted as the guiding force for hall council activities; but this in turn forces us to dig deeper and ask the question of enrichment to which ends?

So then, what is the point of hall councils?

Well, reader, let’s start a dialogue.

Cut down your calories the Wolf Approved way I

’m sure I’m not alone when I say that I never cooked much of anything before I came to college. My parents made dinner evMissy ery night (thanks, mom Furman and dad), and when I got Correspondent home from school, soccer practice or a student council meeting, I ate what was on the table. I didn’t once have to worry about how many ingredients made up my hamburger, how much salt was in my pasta sauce or how many calories were in the French toast (Yes, French toast—who doesn’t love breakfast for dinner?). My parents worried about that for me. They weren’t going to make unhealthy food for our meals, and all I needed to be concerned about were the snacks I had every now and then. Figuring out how to eat on a university campus rather than at your house is definitely an adjustment, and the universities should take action to help educate students about the dos and don’ts of college dining.

Students our age probably don’t eat healthy because (1) They f lat out don’t know how unhealthy some foods are, (2) they sort of want to know but are too lazy to find out or (3) they couldn’t care less.

Ignorance is an inevitable problem when it comes to eating healthy. In my Intro to Nutrition class this semester, we did an activity in which we had to guess the amount of calories in specific foods. I’d like to think I know a little bit about food, but let’s just say my guesses were bad; OK fine, really bad—like so far off that someone could reasonably wonder if I answered the wrong question. Did you know that some slices of cheesecake from the beloved Cheesecake Factory have about 1,500 calories? Yeah, neither did I. The problem is that people aren’t accustomed to thinking

twice or taking the time to find out.

Thanks to NC State’s University Dining staff, you can’t use any of those three excuses anymore. Today marks Day 1 of Healthy Campus Week here at NC State.

Our college is one of 26 that decided to participate in the Healthier Campus initiative of Michelle Obama’s Partnership for a Healthier America. In order to engage in the program, universities must select 23 guidelines from a large list of nutrition and physical activity options.

Being the first school to meet all 23, State is encouraging students to improve their diets with tips, events and prizes all week.

“Wolf Approved” icons at the dining halls will guide you in your decisions to help you realize all the options you have for a healthier, yet still delicious meal.

NC State is setting a great example for other schools. We hear a lot of talk about teens needing to eat better, but not many institutions actually help us do anything about it. Colleges have the power to inf luence and engage their students in a fun, effortless way to improve their eating habits and choices.

Sure, your instant Kraft macaroni and pizza bagels are OK once in a while, and if you grab an ice cream cone at Talley or a cupcake from Yates Mill Bakery, you’re not going to die. Just remember that NC State has many new alternatives for you to try too—new alternatives that are already approved to be great choices and certainly easy to access right here on campus. You’ve got the knife and fork already; now all you need to do is let the Wolf Approved Way help you so you can help yourself.

P.S. Really. Putting aside the Ramen noodles for a while won’t kill you. I promise.

Misogynistic violence is still prevalent T

he past few decades have seen remarkable strides for women’s rights. The surge of feminism in this period has led to many great strides for women. The Kathleen landmark Supreme Court deMaxwell cision, Roe v. Wade, allowed Correspondent women in the United States access to safe, legal abortion; women began gaining equal opportunities in workplaces; and generally, conditions for women worldwide have been improving. Even recently we have seen the rise of the Free the Nipple movement and intersectional feminism, and this year will mark the first time in history in which women will be allowed to vote in Saudi Arabia.

Yet, with all that women have accomplished in these past years, the finish line for equality is still miles away. It seems like the more that women try to push back against sexism and oppression, the more opponents of feminism attempt to silence those voices.

In more modern times, feminism has

pushed that women are not the property of men and that a woman’s body is her own.

However, the sexist idea of a woman as property continues to hold prevalence throughout the world. Men continue to commit acts of violence against women who reject them, assuming they should be entitled to a woman’s time, attention and affection.

In 2014, Elliot Rodger murdered six people in Isla Vista, California, because he couldn’t garner the affections of “attractive women.”

He began by writing that he felt that he deserved the attention of women, then he moved on to throwing coffee onto women who ignored him. Later, he would attempt to push women off of a ledge in anger and finally his misogynistic hate cultivated in him murdering his roommates, two women outside a sorority and another student before eventually turning the gun on himself.

Meanwhile, women who speak out against sexism also become targets for a wide range of threats, from having their personal informa-

tion released to the public, to having people threaten to murder them.

Doxing is the act of having someone release personal information to the public, often on very well-trafficked social media sites. Recently, several high-profile feminists or critics of misogyny have fallen victim to being doxed.

Feminist gamers Anita Sarkeesian, Felicia Day and Brianna Wu have all been doxed, and have become the subsequent victims of threats of rape and murder. Wu eventually felt so unsafe that she ended up leaving her own home.

Sarkeesian was supposed to speak at an event at Utah State until someone threatened to kill her and others in attendance in order to seek “revenge” on feminists.

Perhaps the most well-known case of antifeminism would be the 2012 shooting of girl’s education activist Malala Yousafzai. Beginning when she was 11 years old, Malala wrote for the BBC about her experiences living under the Taliban in the Swat Valley of Pakistan.

She expressed her views on equal educational

opportunities for women and girls and was shot at point blank range by a member of the Taliban.

United Nations Secretary General Ban Kimoon said it best: “Extremists have shown what frightens them the most: a girl with a book.” Malala simply wanted women to be able to have the right to an equal education, and she almost lost her life because of it.

We live in a world where, even today, men are afraid of women becoming powerful, of having those same accesses to education, jobs and opportunities to succeed. The ideas of women as the “lesser” gender, or of women owing men something continue to persist. We still live in a society where outspoken women become victims of horrendous threats and extreme violence. Until society moves past stereotypical gender roles and misogynist ideals like those of the Taliban and Elliot Roger, women will never really be equal.

1887 Bistro opens, brings upscale dining to campus Drake Johnson Correspondent

NC State’s new upscale dining facility, 1887 Bistro, is now open to the public.

Tucked in a corner on the third floor of Talley Student Union, the new restaurant is set to bring a sit-down dining experience to campus with a menu of modernized Southern foods.

Working in the kitchen is a team of professional and accredited chefs from around the restaurant business, led by chef Corey Palakovich.

Palakovich has been in the industry since he was 13, with a resume that includes experience as executive chef of Neomonde Baking Company and corporate chef of the Raleigh restaurant group giant, Empire Eats. He has also worked with the One Earth restaurant right here on campus.

The 1887 Bistro aims to fill a previously empty niche in the campus dining program. With its polished look and waited tables, the bistro appeals to those who want a more upscale place to dine.

The bistro is meant to be the place to take a family member, friend or colleague when other campus dining options are not appropriate.

“University Dining wants to be representative of a week of dining an ordinary citizen would have,” said Jennifer Gilmore, director of marketing and communication of Campus Enterprises. “The 1887 Bistro’s addition helps to fulfill this goal.”

BEN SALAMA/TECHNICIAN

The 1887 Bistro will be open to students from 9 p.m. until midnight. Students can use a meal credit during the late-night period with an equivalency of $8.50.

Lunch is catered more to faculty and staff and will require either dining dollars or some regular form of payment.

The bistro represents the occasional “fine dining” component of this meal schedule.

The menu boasts a variety of appetizers, entrees and desserts. Tender chimichurri steak skewers, hot firecracker shrimp and stuffed Arancini pomodoro with mozzarella are a few of the late-night entrees. They are joined by loaded flatbreads and a wide variety of salads with in-house dressings. For dessert, crème brûlée, lemon mousse and a

cherry crostata are served up in Mason jars.

Sara Nicholson, a freshman new to on-campus dining in general, says the bistro is welcomed.

“It will add to the variety of Talley; I’m already getting tired of the same sort of meals,” Nicholson said.

The 1887 Bistro will be open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for lunch specials, followed by a downtime in the evening reserved for special events, culinary demonstrations, food

lectures and pre-show receptions for Stewart Theatre performances. The restaurant will reopen to the public at 9 p.m., when late-night meals are served. Open until midnight, students can use a meal credit during the late-night period with an equivalency of $8.50. Lunch, however, is catered more to faculty and staff and will require either dining dollars or some regular form of payment.

“It’s not like you’ll be paying a fortune for just a few

fancy bites,” said Anthony Brown, manager of Pavilions Dining. “The prices are tuned so that you can get an appetizer or entree, as well as a drink that will surely fill you up.”

The rationale behind the afternoon and evening closing is to allow for what Gilmore calls “shaping.” Gilmore said she believes the students truly define what the purpose of a space is.

“There’s no sign stating that this group of chairs is for

studying, or that this lounge area is supposed to be silent,” she said, referencing groups of students at various clusters in Talley Student Union.

“We want the students to shape what the bistro location essentially is during the off hours.”

While the obvious function of the restaurant is for dining, at the end of the day, it’s the students’ place to go. The faculty hopes student interest will shape potential events to be held during these times.

Growing up with Raleigh: SPARKcon turns 10 Alix Vo Correspondent

Only about 100 people attended the first SPARKcon event in 2006. This weekend in its 10th year, more than 58,000 people visited downtown Raleigh for the festival. SPARKcon, started

by Aly and Beth Khalifa, is a four-day event that showcases themes such as art, music and theater that exemplify the creativity in Raleigh.

This year’s events featured 14 main themes and lasted from Thursday to Sunday.

Street paintings, food truck rodeos and a musical fire table demonstration attracted cr SPARKcon got its start in 2006. Aly Khalifa, an NC State graduate of the product design and mechanical engineering program, and wife Beth Khalifa, a UNC-Chapel Hill alumnus, owned a design space and f irm called Designbox. They wanted to shed a light on Raleigh’s creative com mu n it y. SPA R Kcon had its humble beginnings as a conference w ith an art showcase. They paired with Visual Arts Exchange, where Aly Khalifa was a board member.

“The idea of showcasing all the talent in the area brings it all together in one place so that people could

meet each other, network and bring an awareness to the depth of the creative com mu n it y here,” sa id Sarah Powers, the director of Visual Arts Exchange. “I think the original intent has stayed really strong, which is that there’s no one person planning this event, but anyone who wants to make it happen is welcome to.”

Powers said planning for the festival starts in October, where any participant can brainstorm on what worked and what didn’t to get a sense of how next year’s event will go. They take a two-month break before resuming meetings every third Monday starting in January at the Visual Arts Exchange up until SPARKcon’s debut weekend.

Since 2006, dow ntow n Ra leig h has cha nged in terms of landscape. SPARKcon used to be confined to Moore Square as its venue.

The festival has grown with the city, now using the majorit y of the Warehouse District and Fayetteville Street, and has minimized its vending by utilizing local restaurants and food trucks.

“We want people to go in and out of places that are already here, supporting downtown in general,” Powers said. “What’s wonderful is how many coffee shops and restaurants and

Those who went to the event talked about its exciting and creative atmosphere.

“T he t h i ng I remembered most was the street

Students also participated in performing at SPARKcon music venues.

“I was with Just Cuz Crew, one of the hip-hop dance crews on campus, and we performed on t he main stage,” said Meg Kurdys, a sophomore studying inter-

national studies. “W hen I saw people holding up their phones clearly taking videos, I knew we were doing our best and representing NC State in a good, fun light.”

108 yards, making this performance his third straight game with 100-plus rushing yards, last accomplished by T.A. McLendon in 2002.

Samuels only ran for 15 yards, but his two touchdowns, one on the ground and one in the air, puts him at six touchdowns on the season, second best in the ACC. Brissett added 43 rushing yards of his own and completed 18-of-27 passes for 179 yards and a touchdown. The senior has now thrown 156 passes without an interception and continued his terrific start to the season.

The Wolfpack now faces five of its next seven games on the road after opening the season last year with five out of seven games at home.

“We talk about each step on the ladder as we go, and you’ve got to get to 3-0 to be 4-0,” Doeren said. “We can’t look at the mountain, we just gotta climb. That’s all we’re talking about: one day, one play at a time.”

The Pack will look to remain undefeated on the season, and heads to Mobile, Alabama, Saturday night to take on the South Alabama Jaguars.

are to be competitive at conference and make it to the national championship in November. Those are the goals of the program. Those don’t change.”

Because the Wolfpack is on a rigorous practice schedule, the team raced a shorter 5K distance Friday. Geiger said this method of training should be beneficial for the younger runners on the team.

“The training load is so heavy right now,” Geiger said. “Five-thousand meters makes a lot of sense, particularly for the young guys who raced 5,000 meters in high school, so now they have to jump to 8,000 meters. The rules change for this sport, which is really amazing. It’s kind of like where we are at. Check your training and understand that what you do at 5,000 meters at that pace you’ve just got to continue for another 3,000 meters.

You’ve got to treat another 3,000 meters the same.”

In the upcoming weeks, the team looks forward to traveling to the highly competitive Notre Dame Invitational.

“Two weeks from now is an important race: Notre Dame,” Geiger said. “It’s important because it’s criteria. It simply helps you get to national championships.

So that’s a big day for us. To me, that kind of starts the ball toward the NCAAs in November.”

Ultimately, the team is eager to build upon last season. Returning runners redshirt junior Sam Parsons, redshirt senior Graham Crawford and redshirt sophomore Sebastian Hanson look to lead a relatively young team to success. The future is also bright for freshmen Tanis Baldwin and Philip Hall, who competed unattached on Friday. Baldwin and Hall placed second and sixth, respectively.

Both teams feature strong returning classes and a crop of talented new runners, but face different expectations for the coming season. The men’s team disappointingly missed out on nationals last year but looks to return, while the women’s team placed 16th at the NCAA Championships and seeks to repeat 2014’s success.

The men and women will compete at the Notre Dame Invitational on Oct. 2.

“Teni did awesome,” Bunn said. “She had great energy on the floor. I was glad she got in and played well.”

NC State kept Hampton under 15 points throughout the game (25-14, 25-10, 25-13).

There were five service aces made, two by freshman Blayke Hranicka and two by senior Tanna Aljoe. Ramsey had 12 kills and junior Rachel Eppley posted 12 digs.

The final matchup of the weekend was against the Tennessee Volunteers. Carmichael Gym was standing room only for the game Saturday night as the Wolfpack prepared to battle the strong non-conference opponent.

It was a back and forth battle, but the Wolfpack defeated the previously un-

defeated Volunteers (25-22, 27-25, 25-22). The MVP for the tournament was setter Maggie Speaks.

“It’s a good win,” Bunn said. “Our two outside hitters, Julia [Brown] and Perry [Ramsey], played fantastic.

They were killing the ball at a very high percentage.”

The Pack never trailed in the first set although the score did tie at 20 before the Pack rallied to 25. Julia Brown’s kill and an attack error by Tennessee won the second set for the Wolfpack.

The third set was tough, as the lead changed three times, and the score tied 13 times.

“It’s going to be tougher now,” Bunn said. “We’re going to have to battle with Pittsburgh next weekend.”

The Wolfpack goes on the road next weekend to Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech for the start of ACC play.

The NC State football team remained unbeaten Saturday night after securing its first road win of the season, a resounding 38-14 victory against Old Dominion.

The Wolfpack (3-0, 0-0 ACC) had complete control offensively over the Monarchs (2-1, 0-0 C-USA), limiting their time on the ball to less than 20 minutes. With the win, the Pack improved to six consecutive victories, an accomplishment last matched in 2002.

The key to the Wolfpack win was its ability to stifle the run, limiting sophomore running back Ray Lawry to just 15 yards on 11 carries. The nation’s leading rusher had managed 438 yards on 59 previous attempts but could not match those numbers against a sturdy Wolfpack defense.

NC State senior running back Shadrach Thornton was also back in the lineup after serving a two-game suspension, adding 92 yards on 18 carries with a touchdown. The run game was the driving force behind most of the Pack’s offense, with four of the Pack’s five touchdowns coming on the ground.

NC State got off to a quick start, marching down the field on its opening drive, with sophomore tight end Jaylen Samuels putting the Pack up 7-0 with a 3-yard run.

The Monarchs tied the game on their second drive with one play, a 70-yard touchdown pass to Lawry.

Despite this, Old Dominion was only able to scrape together 81 total yards in the first half and went for -3 yards on the ground.

Freshman placekicker Kyle Bambard kicks an extra point after a Jaylen Samuels run for a touchdown in the 35-0 win against Eastern Kentucky Sept. 12. In Saturday’s game at Old Dominion, Bambard kicked one field goal from 36 yards. The Wolfpack dominated the Monarchs 38-14 in Norfolk, Virginia.

The Pack regained its lead on the following drive, which ended with redshirt senior quarterback Jacoby Brissett running the ball in from 21 yards out.

The Monarchs were held to three straight 3-and-outs on its following three drives, making that seven total 3-and-outs on 11 drives in the game. The Wolfpack has now forced 21 3-and-outs on 34 drives in its first three games.

On the final drive of the half, NC State cruised down the field, gaining 54 yards on nine plays, with Samuels catching a 10-yard touchdown pass from Brissett to put the Pack up 21-7

at the midway point of the game.

The Wolfpack opened the second half’s scoring after a 34-yard punt return from junior wide receiver Bra’Lon Cherry put the offense in great field position on the Monarch’s 20-yard line. Junior running back Matt Dayes put the Pack up 28-7 with a 2-yard run.

Old Dominion answered immediately with a touchdown of its own when freshman quarterback Shuler Bentley found sophomore wide receiver Jonathan Duhart in the end zone with a nice back-shoulder throw, but NC State pulled away soon after.

A 36-yard field goal by freshman

kicker Kyle Bambard compensated for the 48-yarder he missed in the first quarter, and the Pack stretched its lead to 17 points.

Volleyball shuts out competition during weekend tournament Taylor Peers Staff Writer

Rachel Clark Correspondent

Kemp and George, who performed exceptionally well this past track season, are looking to carry their momentum over to the cross-country course.

Another runner who will likely play a major role in the team’s success is freshman Ryen Frazier. Frazier clocked a course record at The Adidas Wolfpack Invitational Friday. Her time of 16:06.4 shattered the previous course record by 22 seconds.

With Friday’s first-place finish, the men’s team is off to a solid start. Although the group was not ranked in the NCAA preseason poll, head coach Rollie Geiger, like Henes, doesn’t judge the program by a number on a list.

“Rankings to me don’t mean anything,” Geiger said. “We understand the challenge, and we understand the tradition of this program. Those guys know what I expect, and this is just a stepping stone to our goals, which

The NC State volleyball team swept Campbell, Hampton and previously unbeaten Tennessee this weekend in the thrilling NC State DoubleTree Cary Classic in Carmichael Gym. The Wolfpack (11-1) won all three matches in straight sets and broke records along the way. Sophomore Kaitlyn Kearney’s .889 attacking percentage stands as the best in program history of percentages with a minimum of 10 attempts.

“We really played hard,” sophomore Perry Ramsey said. “I think we’ve got great momentum going into ACC play. We learned how to fight to the end [this weekend].”

Friday night’s match against Campbell was fast paced from the start.

The Wolfpack won the first two sets easily, 25-12 and 25-13, but made several errors to allow Campbell to lessen the lead in the third set.

However, NC State quickly regrouped to win 25-21.

“We did a nice job of taking care of the ball,” head coach Bryan Bunn said. “We only had six errors on 84 attempts, so we did a good job of covering our hitters when they did get blocked. We need to get a little more mindful of our serving, but we did a good job offensively.”

Kearney’s record-setting .889 attacking percentage came on a night where the sophomore racked up 16 kills on 18 attempts with zero errors. Kearney’s new record ranks second in the ACC and in the top 20 for NCAA all time.

“I was very relaxed tonight,” Kearney said. “With all of the fans here it really made me feel at home and comfortable, and we just all worked together tonight and have done so all season. I see a big difference from last season.”

Kearney also praised junior setter Maggie Speaks for her work during the match. Speaks tallied 37 assists, four kills, three blocks and three digs on the night.

“Maggie does very well with going back and forth,” Kearney said.

“Maggie is a key player on our team.”

Freshman Teni Sopitan debuted on the court during the Hampton match Saturday afternoon. Sopitan made seven kills and led the team with a .778 attacking percentage.

“It was very exciting,” Sopitan said. “When I got the kill, I wanted to cry I was so happy. Mackenzie and Maggie were crying on the bench; everyone was cheering for me.”

The freshman’s debut was particularly pleasing to Bunn, who praised her effort on the afternoon.

Promising seasons to come for men’s and women’s cross country Garrison Rountree Correspondent

After outpacing the competition at the season-opening Adidas Wolfpack Invitational Friday in Cary, the NC State men’s and women’s cross country teams are looking to build on a strong start to the 2015 season.

Both teams dominated Friday but face many questions this season. In particular, the women’s team was ranked No. 16 in the most recent NCAA preseason poll. While that looks good on paper, this season’s success shouldn’t be predicted entirely on current rankings, according to head coach Laurie Henes.

“Our depth is really, really good,” Henes said. “Rankings are nice, but the only ranking that matters is the one in November. So, that’s what the women are focusing on at this point.”

Between now and November, the women’s team looks to grow gradu-

ally one meet at a time.

“We structured our schedule to be a building block,” Henes said. “Notre Dame is still 5 kilometers actually but a lot more competition, and then Wisconsin goes to 6 kilometers and is a massive race. Then we come back to ACCs with a very deep field, but it has a [smaller field] than Wisconsin or Notre Dame.”

In addition to a steady building approach, another key factor at the forefront this season is leadership. With the graduation of Joanna Thompson and Kenyetta Iyevbele, the team is eager for new leaders.

“Losing Joanna and Kenyetta is hard,” Henes said. “Both Joanna and Kenyetta were All-Americans for us and great leaders. Some of our younger athletes are really stepping up and filling that void.”

Strong runners Erika Kemp and Samantha George are expected to run at the front of the Pack this season. Both
