Student robbed at knifepoint near Derr Track Field
The Office of Waste Reduction and Recycling partnered with University Housing for the first time to compost pumpkins on campus for free. Students, faculty and staff can dispose of their jack-o-lanterns until Nov. 7 at one of the Pizza Box Composting Project dumpsters located across campus. The dumpsters are located at Bragaw, Lee and Sullivan halls (Lee Hall parking lot by the trash dumpster); Bowen, Carroll, Metcalf halls (against the brick wall near the trash dumpster); Avent Ferry Complex (waste station by Fort Fisher Hallor F building); Wolf Village (waste station by the bus stop); Wolf Ridge (waste station by Plaza Hall); and Greek Village (parking lot across from Greek Houses 3 and 4). Because plastic and other materials are not compostable, students should remove any candles, glow sticks or decorative additions from the pumpkins before placing them in the dumpsters.

When he refused, one of the suspects took out a knife and swung it at the student, leaving a small scratch on the student’s arm and chest. The armed suspect then grabbed the student’s wallet from his coat pocket and fled the scene in an unknown direction with the other suspect.

Former President Clinton endorses Hagan BY JOHN JOYNER

en. Kay Hagan and former President Bill Clinton greet a crowd of supporters at a political rally in Broughton High School on Friday. The rally, which was also attended by Representatives David Price and G.K. Butterfield and former Gov. Jim Hunt, aimed to raise support for the Kay Hagan campaign. Hagan spoke about a variety of issues ranging from healthcare to education but focused on the economy and supporting raising the minimum wage. “Somebody working more than 40 hours a week in our state shouldn’t be living below the poverty line,” Hagan said. Hagan went on to attack Republican senatorial candidate Thom Tillis’ record, saying, “He doesn’t think that hard-working North Carolinians deserve to earn $10 an hour, but he sees nothing wrong with a CEO making $10 million a year getting more tax breaks.” Following Hagan’s speech, Clinton encouraged people to vote. “We have to show up,” Hagan said.

Six months ago, three NC State students and recent graduates Brian Clements, Dave Klemp, and Daniel Hines began brewing beer in their shared, rented townhome, which marked the beginning of their start-up brewing company, Townhouse Brewing. Clements, a senior in engineering, said between the three of them, the group had about five years of brewing experience, so the friends of three years decided to see what it is like to start their own brewing company. Klemp, a senior in forest management, Hines, a recent graduate with a degree in polymer and color chemistry, and Clements are currently trying to get the beer out to friends and family. The group said it is excited to share its creations. The Townhouse Brewing creations so far include Crazy Daisy California Pale Ale, Dave’s Triple Chocolate Cake Stout, Pumpkin Blood Irish Red Ale and Great American Apple Wheat Ale. Clements said the company recently experienced a bit of success

Students celebrate Halloween on Hillsborough Staff Report
Hundreds of students hiked Hillsborough Street in full costume, traveling from bar to bar to drink and celebrate the holiday and annual tradition with friends at the 2014 Halloween Hike on Friday. During the hike, McDaids Irish Pub on Hillsborough Street hosted this year’s Senior Night at the Halloween Hike, which was complete with free stickers and costume contests for the most school spirited, scariest and most creative costumes. Spencer Morris, a junior in civil engineering, said he was originally planning on going to McDaids but decided not to go because the crowds were making it hard to get in. “The line was too long, and it was really cold, so we went to The Alley instead,” Morris said. “There
really aren’t that many bars on Hillsborough, so they were all pretty crowded.” While the Halloween Hike is a fun tradition and will likely continue in future years, Morris said he would like to see more things for students to do outside to alleviate some of the crowding in the bars. “It was a lot of people just walking up and down Hillsborough Street, so it would have been good to see more to do outside,” Morris said. “It was still a good time.” The Senior Night party costume contest winners have yet to be announced, but the winners are set to be named within the next day. Prizes for the winners, including t-shirts and gift cards, will be given out during homecoming week.
