IN BRIEF Students stand with Mizzou, Yale Sexual assault reported off campus

NC State University Police sent out a WolfAlert early Saturday morning after a female student was sexually assaulted outside of a residence on Greenleaf Street, two blocks west of the McKimmon Center. According to University Police, the assault happened just before midnight.

A female student reported to Raleigh Police that an unidentified black male wearing a ski mask emerged from some bushes and assaulted her as she left the residence. The suspect fled the area on foot moving east toward Gorman Street.

An investigation is ongoing.

University Police urges students to report suspicious activity or crimes by calling 911 or 919-5153000. Survivors of sexual assault can find coping resources at campuspolice.ehps.ncsu.edu/ victim-resources.

France bombs ISIS capital

The French Defense Ministry announced Sunday that French warplanes are attacking Raqqa, Syria, the Islamic State’s de facto capital. The ministry said 20 bombs were dropped on facilities, including a command center, a militant-training facility and an arms depot. The attack came a day after it was reported that the responsibility for the attacks on Paris was claimed by ISIS. Opposition activists contacted in Raqqa said the bombs hit a football stadium, a museum and medical facilities, among other things.

The strikes also knocked out electricity in the city of about 200,000 people.

Dozens of students gathered at Wolf Plaza on Thursday to express their support for the students at the University of Missouri and Yale University who have been in ideological struggle with administrators over their handling of several racial incidents over recent months.

“It has become clear, once again, that NC State students need to take action for our peers at other institutions,” said Jasmine Cannon, a campus leader and student activist who organized the meeting, in an email.

Tensions on the University of Missouri’s campus reached a boiling point on the issue of race last week, drawing national attention for the students’ efforts to create understanding between black students and administrators that prompted attempts to halt major university functions such as a homecoming parade and, with help from the football team, a football game.

A graduate student at UM, Jonathan Bulter, began a hunger strike to bring attention to the lack of administration response to issues facing black students on campus.

Tim Wolfe, system president for the University of Missouri, and University of Missouri’s Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin, were forced to step down under mounting criticism from students and faculty on Monday.

Students gather in Wolf Plaza to show support for students at the University of Missouri and across the country fighting against racial discrimination.

Wolfe was shown on video being confronted by students late in the evening who asked how he defined systemic racism. Looking helpless, Wolfe prefaced his response by saying that anything he said would be wrong and finally responded saying, “it [means] you don’t believe that you have equal opportunity for success,” emphasizing the “you don’t believe” part, which sent the students into an

uproar.

As Wolfe walked away, a woman asked, “Did you just blame black students for systemic racism, Tim Wolfe?”

Yale University has also made headlines after a faculty member sent an email defending free speech in response to a mass email sent by the administration which called for cultural sensitivity in dressing up

for Halloween. A series of YouTube videos surfaced depicting the faculty member who sent the response email speaking directly to students about the issue of free speech.

This discussion quickly devolved into a shouting match when students demanded their concerns be legitimized, which the administrator was

Staff Report

Less than two miles from campus, My Deah’s Goodwill Store opened its doors Tuesday to serve as a tribute to the lives and work of Deah Barakat, his wife Yusor Abu-Salha and her sister Razan Abu-Salha.

In February, the three were murdered at Deah’s and Yusor’s home in Chapel Hill in what is believed by many to have been a hate crime.

At the time of his death, Deah, a UNC-Chapel Hill dental student and NC State alumnus, was fundraising money for a trip to Turkey to provide dental care to refugees. With the opening of this new store, his legacy of charity has the opportunity to live on.

“There’s been a movement since the murders in February to have, you know, to really understand the value of our youth in this country,” Deah’s brother

Farris Barakat told ABC 11.

The lives of “Our Three Winners” inspired Zerga Abid to create My Project USA, an Ohio-based nonprofit that works to better the lives of Muslim youth living in the United States.

“What My Project USA is doing is something that literally nobody is doing, really investing and making sure that each and every one of our youth becomes a loyal, productive American citizen,” Abid told ABC 11.

Around the same time, Deah’s father was interested in starting a store that would help serve North Carolina’s refugee population. Deah’s father and Abid combined their ideas and the result is “My Deah’s SOURCE: OUR THREE WINNERS

Students raise $22,000, pack 80,000 meals Andrew Schnittker Correspondent

In partnership with Stop Hunger Now, Service NC State students were successful in packaging more than 80,000 meals Friday during the 10th annual Meal Packaging Event held in Carmichael Gym. Service NC State was able to easily surpass its goal of 75,000 meals by raising more than $22,000. The meals that were packaged Friday will be sent to schools, orphanages and foster homes in the northern part of Nicaragua.

Cannon said that when she looks at the situation in Missouri, she could see the same thing happening here.

“I see myself, I see that that could happen on my campus,” Cannon said. “I see that I could be one of those students that could feel unsafe walking on campus just any given day whether it’s after a protest or class. I could see myself in the same situation as the students I’ve read about in Missouri.”

“I’m really happy everyone is here,” De Mélo said. “It’s important that everyone knows our pain.”

According to her friends, Justine, 23, attended the SKEMA Business School in Paris and had plans to attend NC State’s Centennial Campus.

De Mélo and the memorial’s organizer, Marie-Claire Ribeill, honorary consul of France to Raleigh, stressed that the memorial was also supposed to honor all of the countries that have experienced terrorist attacks in the last few weeks, including Kenya and Libya.

“We not only think about France but all the other countries around the world affected by terrorism,” Ribeill said.

The memorial featured pictures of Justine, flowers and a banner displayed between French and American flags. The banner declared “A Notre Justine” meaning “To Our Justine,” on which attendees could add a painted handprint. The banner will be sent to Justine’s family in an effort to show support despite the tremendous distance.

“The stuff that is going on here are not isolated events,” Cannon reiterated. “Stuff like this is going on around the entire country.”

Chancellor Randy Woodson made a point to address the growing tensions last week in his Chancellor’s letter saying, “Recent events around the country and within the NC State community have served to remind us all that we have not progressed as much as we would all hope in our journey toward cultural competency.”

In his letter, Woodson said the Council on Undergraduate Education is reviewing the diversity component of the General Education Program.

He said he has asked Provost Warrick Arden and Vice Chancellor Mike Mullen to “insure that the student voice is part of this discussion as the committee and the faculty consider the best approach to insuring diversity and inclusion are a meaningful part of our curricula at NC State.”

Woodson also stressed that diversity and inclusion education is not just a student issue but a faculty issue.

“We need to insure that we are using every means possible to help our faculty and staff on their personal journey towards cultural competency,” Woodson wrote.

Dr. P. J. Adams, a psychologist and the multicultural coordinator at the Counseling Center, was in attendance along with several other faculty members showing their support for the

“I just want to say I’m there for all her friends and family. This is the best way to prove our respect and that Justine will live forever in our hearts,” De Mélo said as she thanked those who came to show support.

While her voice trembled and her hands shook, De Mélo described the pain she felt while waiting for 15 hours before getting news of her friend’s death. She could not understand these acts of violence against innocent people.

“Killed for nothing, just trying to live,” De Mélo said.

After 30 minutes of silent vigilance, Ribeill gave a brief speech thanking the community for their support. Members of the French community living in Raleigh were present, many draping themselves in or carrying French flags. A number of individuals with no ties to France also were in attendance, many carrying the f lags from their own countries as a sign of support.

“F r i e n d s h ip b e t we e n France and America is embodied here today,” Ribeill said.

Ribeill invoked the French motto of liberty, equality and fraternity as a source of support in the wake of

students in Missouri and around the country asking for respect. Adams noted the role that effective leadership can have to resolve issues of race. “[I feel] like how you respond as a community and how administrators, from their positions of power, does have a significant impact on whether a community feels listened to or visible,” Adams said. “I don’t think that [the University of Missouri] could have had the perfect solution to make it all better in a week, but to be able to connect with students around what their experience is on campus and make that feel validated — they failed to do that.”

Adams said the Counseling Center has made a special effort to reach out to students so that students of all backgrounds feel welcome coming to them when they have concerns whether they be racial or otherwise.

“As a multicultural community there’s going to be a variety of emotional effects around racial incidents,” Adams said. “So the question is: How do we have enough visibility to show all our students that we’re there to help them through these experiences?”

As part of this effort, the Counseling Center met with Multicultural Student Affairs just last week to try and open an informal dialogue in the hopes that it will encourage more students to feel comfortable talking about personal issues of race. The function of MSA is to advise and advocate for historically underrepresented student groups in administrative settings.

When the microphone was passed to De Mélo, she described Justine and reflected on how these attacks can impact anyone who lives in a modern society.

Chancellor Randy Woodson also recognized the tragic event’s effects on communities around the world. He released a statement Saturday offering his condolences to all those involved and reminding students that the Counseling Center is available to help those in need.

“During this time, please take care of yourselves, look out to take care of other members of our Pack who might be hurting and don’t hesitate to contact any of the many caring staff members at NC State who are here for you,” Woodson wrote.

There will be a follow-up moment-of-silence event Monday at noon outside the Venture II building on Centennial Campus.

Let me mourn Paris O

n Friday night as I was taking a break from working on a paper, I scrolled through Twitter and saw the first “Pray For Paris” post. After reading the reports on what happened, Katherine my mood completely shifted.

Hughes I couldn’t think clearly for the Correspondent rest of the night about my paper; all I could think about was how each time that I checked into the news, the number of lives lost seemed to grow. All I could see were the pictures of innocent civilians and the picture that was released of the concert hall on the night before the event happened — how the room was packed and the people looked happy. Events like this one, sudden and tragic, are ones that bring out an overwhelming feeling of vulnerability. It reminds me that any moment our lives could take an unexpected turn for the worst.

People in the United States from all different backgrounds have some sort of connection with Paris. The city is a symbol for romance, art and fashion. We all likely know someone who has traveled to Paris, or maybe we have been there ourselves. Next semester, I’m studying abroad in England, and I made sure that Paris was on the list of cities where I wanted to travel. There’s an Eiffel Tower statue that sits on the corner of my desk. Paris, like New York City, Los Angeles or London, has a strong cultural significance. It is a city people dream of getting to experience.

When the world found out about Paris, love and support went out to the victims. Many cities all over the world, including Raleigh and Charlotte here in North Carolina, had their tallest buildings shine the colors of the French flag. People posted on social media and shared pictures they had taken with the Eiffel Tower to show their support.

However, another group of people used the events in Paris as an excuse to prematurely

voice their opinions on other topics, using this moment to voice their strong anti-Islamic beliefs. “Muslims” was the second-most trending topic on Friday night. People exploited the situation at hand to start conversations about why American media doesn’t care about terrorist attacks in developing countries. Some also chose this moment to say what is happening in Missouri is “not important” comparatively.

All of these conversations came up way too soon. The amount of lives lost was still being counted as people chose to speak out about these other topics. This tragic event happened, and immediately people exploited it to promote their own opinions and change it into something it wasn’t.

Unfortunately, this wasn’t the only tragedy to happen this weekend. In Japan and Mexico there were massive earthquakes. There was a funeral bombing in Baghdad. There were two suicide bombings in Beirut. All of these events are heartbreaking and deserve the attention of the media. But those mourning what happened in Paris were made to feel as if they were not equally as informed of the other events and that they should feel guilty because it meant they didn’t care at all. Even though there is a problem with what gets the attention of the American public and what doesn’t, people should still be allowed to feel affected by a terrorist attack in Paris.

At the end of the day, it’s not a competition for what tragedy is the worst. All of these stories concern lives that were lost, and as humans we can all sympathize with that. What happened in Paris reached the American public, and because of our close ties with Paris both historically and culturally, people responded with sadness. Stop trying to make me feel guilty for feeling sad.

The Unsafe Campus Act M

aking its way through Congress is the Safe Campus Act of 2015. This bill intends to create a significantly better “due process” system in the way that colleges deal with sexual assault on camKathleen pus. Although this certainly Maxwell is a noteworthy and imporCorrespondent tant cause, the Safe Campus Act is not a favorable piece of legislation. The biggest criticism of the Safe Campus Act is that under the new guidelines, colleges will no longer be able to do any investigation in a sexual assault case until the victim has reported the act to the police.

Many victims of assault never contact the police because they feel it could make their experiences even more traumatic. Initial dealings with the police can be traumatizing, especially if victims feel dehumanized or otherwise degraded by the responding officers. This is something that leads many victims of sexual assault to decide against police involvement. Although the intent of the Safe Campus Act is to increase the rates of those victims who receive police intervention after an assault, it might have the opposite effect.

If victims currently feel too distressed for the police and court system, knowing they will be forced into it might actually deter them from attempting to receive any support, even from their universities.

By the act, sexual assault cases will also be the only type of criminal case that officials will be required to report to law enforcement.

Now, it might seem vapid to obsess over rankings, but for NC State to show the world its relevance and enhance its competitive reputation, we need to stay on pace with our fellow universities.

Of course Trojan has a profit motive, but its study does shed a great deal of light on the college public health issues. According to the CDC, both males and females in the 20-24 age bracket suffer from the highest rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis. According to the American College Health Association, only about 50 percent of sexually active students reported using a condom/other protective barrier mostly or always during vaginal intercourse within the past 30 days.

It might seem cliché to talk about lustful college students engaging in riskier behaviors, but in this case, the facts point to a concerning reality.

Should relationships be centered around shared beliefs?

BY SAM FELDSTEIN

Perpetrators of assaults and robberies will still be able to be investigated by school administrations as policy violations, even if those victims do not report to police. It’s unfair to force rape victims into a criminal proceeding while other crimes remain solely within the sphere of the academic code of conduct. Shaina Brown, communications manager for the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault, says the biggest challenge of the Safe Campus Act is that it doesn’t allow universities and law enforcement to operate in the “separate spaces” they currently have. It is important to remember that colleges and law enforcement agencies have different objectives when investigating a sexual assault.

However, it is still vital for everyone involved in a college sexual assault case to have due process. That’s why the more preferable policy option would be the Fair Campus Act, which is also up for Congressional debate. The Fair Campus Act holds almost all of the same provisions as the Safe Campus Act, without the one that would require police intervention before colleges could begin their own investigations into the assault. The Fair Campus Act would, like the Safe Campus Act, require evidence to become available for review by both the accuser and the accused, as well as give both parties the right to lawyers. The Fair Campus Act would improve due process while preventing an undue burden on survivors of sexual assault.

campus is the last place I would expect to be reminded of the largest mass genocide in history — one that I have a cultural connection to, one that I say a prayer for and one that almost led to the mass extinction of my people. This image was used to compare the issue of abortion with a present-day mass genocide.

The Jewish people in the Holocaust did not have a choice in what led to their murders. With abortion, there is a choice. No one is putting a gun to the mother’s head, making the mother choose.

In that sense, it is obscene to even try to compare abortion to the Holocaust. I understand there is free speech, but I believe in a moral line. To see people with their abortion stickers in front of this image, smiling and thinking that what they are preaching is good for society, for a college campus, is beside me. Abortion is not the same as the Holocaust. No matter what your opinion is of this social issue, understand

Anyone will try to convey his or her message to a college campus, and that is especially true from what I have seen this week at North Carolina State University. As I walk across the Brickyard, a place I have to pass to attend classes, I see a blown-up, in-my-face image of a Jew from the Holocaust being hung to his death. As I walked past this offensive visual, a rush of emotions hung over me. All the history of the Holocaust, the pain and the struggles of what my people have gone through, fled through my mind. A college

sexual education. Although this is a step in the right direction, in Section 115C-81, subsection e1 of the state’s law code, clause 9 says “Contraceptives, including condoms and other devices, shall not be made available or distributed on school property.”

When illnesses are considered taboo, individuals are less likely to seek treatment or mention their aff liction to a partner.

Thus, stigmatizing sex counterintuitively may lead to a rise in disease transmission.

So what can we do? From a systemic level, we must all work together to foster a community that is open and honest to talking about sex. Support organizations like the GLBT Community Alliance, the Positive, Loving, Empowered Advocates for Sexual Education and the Student Health Center that work to these ends.

We must jettison the traditional “doom and gloom” narrative of sexual education — i.e. anybody who dares to engage in premarital sex and violate the covenant of abstinence will be inf licted with either an unprepared pregnancy or rotten genitals.

In its place, we should embrace a narrative that eliminates the fear behind a perfectly natural act and critically discusses sexual risks, consent and contraceptive measures.

On a personal level, remember the old medical adage “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of treatment” or the more assertive “no glove no love.” There are resources available to help you out; the health center offers you three free condoms a day.

It’s on us to ensure we have a happy and safe environment for students to grow during this formative period.

that using an event known to most people in this world does not do it justice. You are labeling the Holocaust as an event that had the power to change by saying “yes” or “no.”

We have created museums, documentaries and historical sites for the Holocaust because it is a genocide — the issue of abortion lies within one person, and it should stay that way.

All-star creators share their stories at NC Comicon Kevin Schaefer Contributor

As the sixth annual North Carolina Comicon rolled through the Durham Convention Center this past weekend, this year’s special celebrity guests drew in a particularly diverse crowd of attendees. Amidst the long time col lectors and regular con-goers, the group that stood out the most this year was the teenage girls bursting with excitement in the presence of musician and writer Gerard Way. Way, most famous for being the lead vocalist and co-founder of the American alternative rock band My Chemica l Romance, which split in March 2013, is also the writer of the Eisner award-winning surrealist superhero comic book series “The Umbrella Academy,” and continues to write comics.

The other major guest this year was UK artist Charlie Adlard, who has been illustrating “The Walking Dead” comics since the seventh issue in 2004 and receives regular credit on the AMC TV series as one of the book’s creators.

The estimated $17,000 in proceeds from Way’s and Adlard’s signing events went to the Duke Children’s Hospital, according to Alan Gill, creator and co-owner of NC Comicon.

Friday night, Way and Adlard joined fellow comics creator Tommy Lee Edwards, NC Comicon senior director and co-owner, for a Q&A panel discussion in the Carolina Theater. All three spent the first half talking with each other about how they broke into the industry and about how their love for comics began.

“We all started with comics as kids buying them at the local drug store or convenience store,” Edwards sa id du r i ng t he pa nel.

“What’s cool is that all of us are mutual fans of each other. So that’s what me and my good friends who run the North Carolina Comicon do; we try to bring people in who we really want to spend time with, and I’m just really happy to have two of my favorite creators here with me.”

Way said he grew up an avid “X-Men” reader and knew he wanted to break into the industry from an early age.

“The first comic I did that

was published [was] when I was 15,” Way said. “I had sought out an artist friend in high school and talked him into illustrating a comic that I had written. So I’ve always written for artists.”

When discussing where they draw inspiration from and their work schedules, all three said the process of making comics requires as much dedication and effort as it does inspiration.

Adlard said the scripts he illustrates are the best inspiration he has.

“I feel like the scriptwriter is the one genuinely working from the blank page,” Adlard said. “I’ve got the inspiration; it’s there in the script. It makes my life a lot easier.”

After Adlard said that Image Comics had just released issue 144 of “The Walking Dead,” which resulted in a roar of applause among audience members, Edwards a nd Way ta l ked brief ly about some of their upcoming projects. Edwards has a new Superman book coming out next month called “American Alien,” which was written by “Chronicle” and “American Ultra” screenwriter Max Landis.

Other panels on Saturday and Sunday with various creators included subjects such as breaking into the industry, diversity in comics and visual storytelling.

Additionally, this year saw

the return of the Comiquest Film Festival, which featured a mix of retro films such as “Masters of the Universe,” “Godzilla vs. Destoroyah,” “Ghost World” and “Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins.” The annual cosplay contest was also a prominent component of

the weekend, where attendees dressed up as characters from their favorite comics, movies, TV shows and video games.

Roughly 10,000 people attended Comicon this year, up from 6,500 attendees last year.

“I can attribute the growth

to having two A-list comic book creators neither of which are on the ‘convention circuit’ on a regular basis,” Gill said. “I want to grow the NC Comicon with the city of Durham as it continues to grow by leaps and bounds up, up and away.”

Composting project gains recognition, adds locations Noah Russ Staff Writer

Pizza is the staple food for col lege students a l l across t he countr y, but most pizza eaters are forced to send their pizza boxes to the landfill because most recycling centers will not accept corrugated, greasy cardboard.

NC State solved this problem by creating the Pizza Box Composting Project, a joint effort between the Waste Reduction and Recycling Office and University Housing. Since the start of the program in the spring of 2014, students have sent more than 16,000 pizza boxes to be composted, according to Analis Fulghum, program manager of the Waste Reduction and Recycling Office.

The success of the program has gained national interest and was recently featured in an issue of The Wall Street Journal. Fulghum believes the attention from The Wall Street Journal will help the program expand and see even more success.

“I think it was a great article,” Fulghum said. “It helped illustrate the ways that the program is expanding.”

In its two years of existence, the program has expanded from having just two on-campus composting bins to having six oncampus bins and bins at Carter-Finley Stadium. The

bins at Carter-Finley are a result of a new Carter-Finley composting program, which aims to make football games zero-waste events.

The program has also expanded to achieve one of its original goals: bringing compost back to being used on campus grounds.

“The grounds crew has already piloted several areas on campus that are using compost instead of chemical fertilizer,” Fulghum said.

The main area the compost is used is the athletic fields on Centennial Campus, according to Fulghum.

The project has also received attention from other universities looking to begin their own composting programs. Fulghum said that two universities, Miami University of Ohio and Grand Valley State University, attempted to start pizza box composting programs, but both failed because of the lack of student participation.

“T here a re t wo ot her campuses that I have seen pilot a pizza box collection program,” Fulghum said.

“Theirs were started by students and didn’t get enough students to actually use the boxes. They ended up doing away with the program.”

While the program has seen great expansion, Fulghum said she still believes there is room for improvement. In the spring, a waste c h a r a c t e r i z at ion s t ud y evaluated campus dumpsters and discovered at least

ARCHIVE/KEENAN HAIRSTON

NC State’s Waste Reduction and Recycling Office collaborated with University Housing to form The Pizza Box Composting Project. These dumpsters can be found in six different locations on campus. The project has expanded to also include composting locations at Carter-Finley Stadium.

one-third of what students put in dumpsters could be composted or recycled. This staggering discover y led the Waste Reduction and Recycling Off ice to consider bringing a recycling and composting facility on campus.

“We are conducting a feasibility study to see if we can bring a composting and

recycling operation on campus,” Fulghum said.

Having the operation on campus could potentially allow the university to compost more efficiently and cut back on waste.

Fulghum eventually wants the composting program to include much more than pizza boxes. The members of EcoVillage, a Living and

Learning Village located in Bragaw Hall that promotes sustainable living, are currently working to compost other items on campus.

“We are lucky enough to have one of the compost bins at Bragaw where we can use it, but EcoVillagers are looking forward to seeing more composting options on campus,” said Meghan

Lobsinger, director of EcoVillage.

With the insurgence of Halloween and Thanksgiving pumpkins, the Waste Reduction and Recycling Office is allowing students to discard pumpkins in the pizza box composting bins until Nov. 25.

largest lead was only nine points. The Jaguars’ bench came up huge in the half, contributing 26 compared to the Wolfpack’s five.

Going into the break, the Wolfpack led the Jaguars 40-34. Martin and Rowan led the Pack in scoring with nine points apiece. Senior guard John Brown led South A laba ma, scor i ng eig ht points in the half.

The Wolfpack pulled away from the Jaguars in the second half and kept a sizable lead for the remainder

of the game while playing much better basketball.

“Today we were much more focused,” Martin said.

“Ready and determined to just to come out and just play hard.”

Ba rber played sig nif icantly better in the second half, as he committed fewer mistakes and passed with increased accuracy. Barber finished the night with 17 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists, falling just two short of a triple-double.

“I’ve had triple-doubles

before,” Barber said. “But this one was big for me, I wanted to get this one.”

Martin led the Pack in scoring, finishing with 19 points off of 7-for-10 shooting, including 4-of-6 from three-point range. Rowan and Abu had 15 and 14 respectively, shooting a combined 10-for-19 from the f loor.

“The point of emphasis for us was learning how to stay with your offense,” Gottfried said. “Whether you’re up 20, down 20 it

doesn’t matter. Our team needs to learn how to be committed to really execute what we’re trying to run and get each other the best shots possible.”

The Wolfpack had four players score in double figures while shooting 51 percent from the f loor.

“We definitely ran our offense a lot better,” Martin said. “We looked for different options and tried to get it to the high post a lot more to take advantage of those mismatches down low with

[Abu] and [BeeJay Anya].”

Taishaun Johnson led the way for the Jaguars with 18 points, followed by Barrington Stevens and Brown, who each had 10 points.

for the remainder of the game following his third turnover of the game. He had committed just one turnover coming into the game.

With junior Sean Maguire at quarterback, the Noles topped off a six-play, 64-yard drive with a 30-yard rush by Cook to close the gap 17-14.

FSU then kicked a 40-yard field goal on its next possession to tie the game at 17 going into halftime.

FSU turned the ball over

three times going into halftime, while NC State had zero.

In the third quarter, the Noles went 74 yards in 12 plays but were held to just a field goal to give them a 2017 lead. Samuels fumbled the ball on the following drive, allowing FSU to take over at the 44-yard line. The Noles ended the drive with a 27yard touchdown pass from Maguire to wide receiver Kermit Whitfield to extend

the lead to 27-17.

With both offenses struggling to move the ball for the remainder of the quarter, sophomore defensive end Bradley Chubb picked off Maguire’s pass at NC State’s 32-yard line with 30 seconds left in the third quarter, FSU’s fourth turnover of the game.

On fourth down, freshman punter A.J. Cole III threw a 9-yard pass to sophomore tight end Cole Cook for the first down to save the team

from going three-and-out after the turnover. However, it didn’t amount to anything, as the stagnant Wolfpack offense was once again forced to punt on the next set of downs.

On the ensuing drive, sophomore safety Shawn Boone hurt his knee during a play, allowing Whitfield to get wide open on the out-route for a 45-yard score to put FSU up 34-17, all but putting the game away with only 9:35 left in the game.

The Pack drove down the field to the 1-yard line on the final drive of the game, but time ran out before it could put any points on the board.

NC State has a much more favorable matchup at home against Syracuse Nov. 21, where it looks to try and match its regular season win total from last year.

Drew Nantais Junior guard Anthony “Cat” Barber notched his first career double-double, and the NC State men’s basketball team rebounded after its season-opening loss to William & Mary, defeating South Alabama 88-70 at PNC Arena Sunday night.

The Wolfpack (1-1) desperately needed a win and got one as the visiting Jaguars (1-1) presented little to no challenges for head coach Mark Gottfried and company.

“I think we were obviously a little bit better than a couple nights ago,” Gottfried said. “We’ve got such a long way to go, but tonight we took a step forward.”

The Wolfpack jumped out to a 9-0 lead early in the first half.

Starting in place of injured junior guard Terry Henderson, freshman Maverick Rowan showed poise and touch, scoring nine points on 3-of-6 shooting.

Graduate defensive end Mike Rose dives for the football after sacking Florida State quarterback Everett Golson and forcing the fumble. Rose’s fumble recovery led to the Wolfpack taking an early 3-0 lead. However, NC State went on to lose the game 34-17.

After winning two of its previous three games, the NC State football team lost to the No. 16 Florida State Seminoles Saturday on the road, 34-17.

The Wolfpack (6-4, 2-4 ACC) scored 17 points in the first quarter, but did not score for the rest of the game, as the Seminoles (8-2, 6-2 ACC) scored 27 unanswered points to shut down any hopes of an NC State comeback.

FSU sophomore running back and Heisman candidate Dalvin Cook ran the ball 22 times for 138 yards and two touchdowns, while the entire Wolfpack offense carried the ball 31 times for only 79 yards and one touchdown.

NC State got started quickly, with graduate defensive end Mike Rose sacking Seminoles’ quarterback Everett Golson on the first play of the game, forcing and recovering the fumble on the 10-yard line. But despite the favorable field position, the Pack only came away with

a field goal to take a 3-0 lead on its opening drive.

However, NC State went three-and-out on its next drive and was forced to punt out of its own end zone, giving the Noles great field position at the 24-yard line. Cook scored two plays later on a 13-yard rush that broke Florida State’s single season rushing record and gave the Noles a 7-3 lead with 8:40 remaining in the first quarter.

The Wolfpack responded by going on a methodical 15-play, 75-yard drive capped off by a 2-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Jacoby Brissett to sophomore fullback Jaylen Samuels to give the Pack a 10-7 lead.

On FSU’s next drive, junior cornerback Jack Tocho, who has battled injury problems throughout the season, tipped Golson’s pass and caught the ball off the deflection for his first interception of the season, giving the NC State the ball on the 30-yard line. It capital-

Keogh displays good work ethic on and off the field Eliza Butts Staff Writer

Despite the lack of collective success this season, the NC State women‘s soccer team found a bright spot in its back line. Freshman defender Hannah Keogh proved to be one of head coach Tim Santoro’s strongest defenders throughout the season.

A San Diego native, Keogh made her way to North Carolina this fall knowing she would be competing in the toughest soccer conference against some of the best teams in the nation. But she did not just come for the high-level soccer program; she is also an engineering major, and NC State’s highly esteemed engineering program made her decision that much easier.

Before making the trip across the country, Keogh played club soccer in California for Del Mar Carmel Valley alongside her current teammates and fellow freshmen goalkeeper Sydney Wootten and midfielder Crystal Cordova.

“It’s great playing with girls I already know,” Keogh said. “Especially with Sydney because she’s a goalkeeper and I’m a defender, and it’s nice to have that comfortability with her behind me.”

Keogh said the three San Diego girls did not make the decision to attend NC State together, but their friendships have gotten even stronger since making the cross-

country move.

As part of Santoro’s first fully recruited class, Keogh sees a bright future for her team.

“I think it’s exciting to be chosen as a part of the change,” Keogh said. “Overall, I had a pretty solid season, and I think the team did progress from the previous season, but there is still a lot of room for improvement.”

As a true freshman, Keogh is going to be part of a successful program-building team in her next three years as a part of the Pack, and she knows that being a close-knit team is key to the team’s success.

“We were focusing a lot on team building this year and getting closer as a team,” Keogh said. “We also established program standards that we are really going to stick to that should help us positively change the program.”

Outside of soccer Keogh spends a lot of time catching up on sleep and hanging out with her friends. But, as an intended mechanical engineering major at one of the top ranked engineer schools in the country, she has to spend a lot of time working toward her academic success.

“I have to log eight hours of study hall every week, and that forces me to sit down in a quiet place and do my work,” Keogh said. “I also have tutors that help me when I’m struggling. In high school I didn’t have

much time for school work either, so I’ve learned time management over the years.”

On her club team in high school, she played more of a center back roll on her three-man defense, so her offensive responsibility has dramatically increased since coming to NC State.

“The biggest change for me was that I was allowed to go forward and attack,” Keogh

said. “The biggest thing I would definitely like to work on for next season is my attacking game. I didn’t have much experience with it in high school, so I’d definitely like to improve there.”

NC State only has room for improvement, and the addition of key defenders like Keogh make the future of the soccer team promising.
