“Covers the campus like the magnolias”
University responds to bed bug invasion
Outside the Bubble...
By Adam Edwards | Staff writer
Evacuations precede landfall of Hurricane Earl As Hurricane Earl nears the East Coast, evacuations have been ordered for barrier islands in the Atlantic Ocean off of the coast of North Carolina. Both tourists and residents have been ordered to evacuate for their own safety. Organizations including the Red Cross are aiding these evacuations and preparing for medical and other care for when Earl makes its landfall. Hurricane warnings have been issued for coastal North Carolina, and hurricane watches have been issued for Virginia and Maryland.
End of Operation Iraqi Freedom announced Giving a speech from the Oval Office at on Aug. 31, President Obama formally announced the end of combat operations in Iraq and the end of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Obama thanked the 1.5 million troops who have served in Iraq since the war’s inauguration and mourned for the 4,400 American soldiers who have lost their lives in Iraq since the beginning of the war. He further cited the 100,000 troops who have been removed from Iraq since last February and the hundreds of bases that have been closed or transferred to Iraqi hands. The American troops who remain in Iraq will be there to advise the Iraqis and protect the Americans. They will leave Iraq by the end of 2011. Obama closed the speech by promising a post-9/11 G.I. bill to help the homecoming troops, by offering hope for the Iraqis who have taken control of their security operations, and by pledging to focus governmental efforts on Afghanistan and on the American economy.
As the semester began, an influx of new and returning students appeared on campus and the university once again began to team with life. However, an unexpected visitor also accompanied many students as they entered life in the residence halls. According to the Office of Residence Life and Housing, several cases of bed bugs are suspected on South Campus. The problem is believed to have been isolated to the southern portion of campus. On Sept. 1, a specially trained canine unit inspected every room in the halls on South Campus in order to detect and eliminate the bugs. Dean of Residence Life and Housing Donna McGalliard spoke very positively of the university’s response to bed bugs on campus. “The plan we have in place is the most aggressive plan we could have.” she said, “We are lucky to have (pest management) professionals available in our area who can treat bed bugs effectively and the university is using all available resources to solve this problem.” Upon finding bed bugs in a student’s room, pest management workers will administer a chemical pesticide treatment to areas where the bugs typi-
cally hide, such as cracks in the floor or bed frame. Student mattresses and personal belongings will not be chemically treated. Instead, the mattress will be placed in a bed bug repellant encasement and the room containing bed bugs will be tagged for a high heat treatment of all personal belongings. This combination of treatments is considered to be the most comprehensive method of removing the pests. The rise of bed bugs is not isolated solely to this university. Across the country reports of bed bug infestations have been increasing steadily for several years. The pests were thought to have been exterminated in developed countries several decades ago due the use of DDT and other chemical pesticides, several of which are banned today. Numerous possible causes have been attributed to the rise in the pests, ranging from an increase in travel to countries where bed bugs are more prevalent to adaptations of the insects making them resistant to more commonly used insecticides. The U.S. National Pest Management Association reported a 71 percent increase in bed bug calls between 2000 and 2005. Bed bugs do not typically travel on human hosts, but instead are transmitted via their belongings. It
is important to thoroughly inspect clothing or bedding purchased secondhand, as it may contain the bugs, and there have been incidents of bed bugs in many types of public furniture, including couches and movie theater seat cushions. Bed bugs are often resilient to common forms of household pesticides and capable of living for months without feeding. These capabilities make them particularly difficult to isolate and remove. Additionally, some individuals will experience no reaction to bed bug bites making other forms of detection, such as the trained canine units, vital in an area presumed to be infested. Those who do develop a sensitivity vary in their response to the bites; most will show signs of skin irritation and itchiness. Bed bugs do not commonly transmit diseases between their hosts, so the transmission of infectious disease from one person to another via bed bug bite is very unlikely. Any student living in a residence hall who suspects that his or her room may contain bed bugs should contact Facilities and Campus Services at ext. 4255. Additionally, Residence Life and Housing has established a website in order to provide more information for concerned students at www. wfu.edu/housing/bedbugs.
New site South Hall : Living Sustainability informs party habits By Renee Slawsky | News editor
after the first month or so, when our residence life staff does educational programming in the building to discuss and suggest ways to reduce consumption in every day routines such as unplugging cell phone chargers when not in use, turning out lights when leaving a room, and not running water while brushing teeth,” Yost explains. The education program will not only take place in South Hall though, coordinators plan to educate all campus residents on their impact of energy and water consumption. “This is going to help students understand what it means to live in a sustainable environment,” said dean of residence life and housing Donna McGalliard. “Sustainability is not just a fad or passing trend. We want to be good stewards and teach students to be good stewards of the environment.”
About two weeks ago, President Nathan O. Hatch sent a broadcast e-mail out to all university students that outlined the changes that were to be made to parties both on and off campus. A recap of the administrative decisions include the hiring of a Substance Abuse Prevention Coordinator for the university, a “Barn” is being built for student use with the hope of encouraging more on-campus parties, and the possibility of changing from the current two-year residence requirement to a three-year requirement. On the subject, “The Living Our Values” report discussed a recommendation, suggested by the Off-Campus Living Committee, to move towards a three-year residency requirement. The university’s contemplating implementing this requirement Zick within three to four years,” said Ken Zick, vice president of student life, said in a broadcasted e-mail to all university students on Aug. 26. In addition to these three major decisions, another tool has been handed to students to keep them partying more safely and is reducing the risks of bad consequences on the school. This tool is called “Party Smart.” “Party Smart is a new website that serves as a central resource for issues related to party management, social life programming, safety tips and issues in our local community,” Zick said. “Whether you have questions related to hosting a party or need to know how to help a friend who has consumed too much alcohol, we have tips for you. We want you to take full advantage of the vibrancy of the campus, while keeping you and your guests safe.” Upon entering the Party Smart website, you will find links on the left-hand side which are labeled “Party Throwing,” “Party Going,” “Alcohol and Your Body,” “Know the Law,” and “Be a Good Neighbor.” If you are the one planning to have the party, then under the “Party Throwing” label there is an abundance of information

Three hostages taken by Discovery protestor A gunman held three hostages on Sept. 1 at the Discovery Communications building in Silver Spring, Md. Police officers shot and killed the gunman and secured the safety of the hostages. Law enforcement officials have confirmed the identity of the gunman as James Jay Lee. Lee protested Discovery Communications – who broadcasts the Discovery Channel among others – and demanded new shows which offered perspectives on how to save the planet and the environment. He had said that the planet does not need humans. Law enforcement and other officials did not take him seriously until this event.
White House holding Middle East peace talks The White House opened a new round of peace talks on Sept. 1 bringing both Israeli and Palestinian leaders for talks. President Obama and his staff aim to build a one-year timeline for an agreement on a two-state solution, allowing sovereignty and security for both Israel and Palestine. President Clinton, Secretary of State Clinton and Jordanian and Egyptian leaders also have roles in these peace talks. Despite these talks, violence continues in the West Bank with a shooting by a Palestinian gunman. These talks represent the first faceto-face talks between the Israeli and Palestinian leaders since December 2008.

By Katie Phillips | Staff writer William Yost, assistant director of housing at Residence Life and Housing says the highlight of the sustainability of South Dorm’s “the digital dashboard flat panel monitor that displays building information on all four floors of the building.” This unprecedented technology is one large step towards an even greater sustainability program implemented on campus. “Students can learn about their own water and energy consumption in the building, by floor and even by floor section,” Yost said. The system monitors it in a way that is easy to understand, and breaks it down into different variables, such as how much water is used compared to how many showers or how many bottles of water.” The touchscreen monitor demonstrates a campus-wide devotion to sustainability and facilitates
student awareness. “With the use of the dashboards, students will visually be able to see how they are impacting consumption and hopefully will be able to learn to help reduce it,” Yost said. According to Yost, many aspects, including “sustainable philosophies” were taken into consideration during the design and construction of South Dorm. With the dedication ribbon cutting ceremony held Aug. 16, South Dorm and its residents began a new year of sustainability that will last throughout their time at the university and beyond. The four-level, 67,000-sq.-ft. contains all double rooms for 201 residents that average about 220 sq. ft. South Dorm was designed and built to meet LEED (Leadership in Energy and Design) certification according to silver level standards. “It will really be interesting to see how consumption is affected

James P. Barefield: History
By Lauren Dayton | Staff writer
In an age when people spend an average of four years at a given job, James P. Barefield’s 41 years of teaching history at the university is highly impressive. Barefield is currently a retired professor emeritus who still teaches classes occasionally. During his professorship he was very active in the Interdisciplinary Honors program and in the study abroad program in Venice, running those programs for 18 and nine years, respectively. Becoming a college professor was Barefield’s career aspiration beginning in high school. When asked why he decided upon history as a subject, Barefield replied “because it is enormously useful for understanding the world,” and because it is “a way of stirring up the imagination. A major part of education is to enliven one’s imagination and history encourages us to imagine the way things once were as opposed to today.” Barefield, who was born in Florida, attended Rice University as an undergraduate. After completing a Fulbright scholarship in London from ’60’62, he attended graduate school at Johns Hopkins University,
and then was hired to teach at Wake Forest. His specialization is in Medieval history, but Barefield also taught Renaissance, Reformation, and introductory European history when he first arrived. Back then “Wake was a lot cheaper,” Barefield recalls, “perhaps $1,000 a year.” There were other differences, too. Barefield remembers the student body as consisting of more middle-class students and students being less rigorous in their class attendance than they are today. “I taught a Renaissance history class at 2 p.m.,” Barefield said, “and I seem to remember a great dropping off during baseball season.” He describes the university then as “a little less conservative politically, a bit more sophisticated in terms of religion, (and) much less welltraveled, but in many ways about the same.” One similarity is that the history department was about the same size, and had as many or more majors as it does now, although at the time history and political science were together in the same department. Besides teaching in the history department, Barefield was an instrumental part of the Interdisci-
Susan Fahrbach’s research on bee brains; Sam Gladding teaches in Turkey; and Christian Miller, William Fleeson and Michael Furr receive a $3.67 million grant to continue their extensive resarch in their respsective fields. Many other faculty members recieved some money from grant.
Professor Ron Noftle receives national award Chemistry professor Ron Noftle was named one of 12 educators named a 2010 Senior Scientist Mentor by The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation.

plinary Honors program, running the program from 1986 until his retirement in 2004. He describes his involvement in the program as one of the highlights of his career at the university. The concept behind the program was to attract particularly motivated students who would be willing to study challenging concepts which combined multiple fields of study. Barefield taught a number of these courses himself; “I did it because I enjoyed working with the students, putting together these ideas in some new way,” he said. One course “The Comic View,” was very popular and he later taught similar courses such as “The Tragic View” and “The Mythic View.” He is currently teaching “The Comic View” as one of this semester’s Interdisciplinary Honors offerings. The university’s study abroad house in Venice, Casa Artom, is another program in which Barefield was highly involved. He taught for a semester in Venice six times over his tenure at the university, running the program from 1986 to 1995. Responsibility for the university’s study abroad students meant there was always something to worry about, particularly during the
Lockerbie Bombing in 1988 and on September 11, when he was in London as the faculty adviser in the Worrell House. Barefield remembers the immediate result of these disasters being “very cheap airplane tickets — the students worried for about a day or two, and then the immortality mentality set in and they were off traveling again.” Similar to his experience with the Interdisciplinary Honors program, Barefield values how teaching as a faculty adviser abroad allowed him to get to know the students better. In addition to teaching “The Comic View” and interviewing students for admissions, Barefield is continuing to work on a book entitled Lively Ghost: Irony’s Role in Imagining the Past. This book, a little over thirty years in the making, explores how irony is used by historians and how it acts as a part of the imagination. “It’s something I end up thinking about every day,” Barefield said. Although the book is more of a pet project than a pressing venture, it reflects Barefield’s pure enjoyment of scholarship, the same way his more than four decades at the university reflect his commitment to passing on his love of history to students.

First-year students view famous painting By Ken Meyer | Asst. news editor
On the evening of their first Sunday on campus, the incoming students of the class of 2014 visited the Reynolda House Museum of American Art to stand before Frederic Church’s 1855 realist painting The Andes of Ecuador. The painting illustrates the Andes mountains in Ecuador, a place which Church visited during his life. This viewing of the painting and discussion following stood as one of the culminating events of the incoming students’ summer academic project. The project included watching required videos and reading required texts which introduced students to the work from multiple perspectives. The readings were primary texts from the 19th century. These texts included narratives of trips to the Andes that influenced Church, excerpts from On the Origin of Species by evolution theorist Charles Darwin and an excerpt from 19th century American writer Ralph Waldo Emerson’s “Nature.” Professors, faculty members and administrators created YouTube videos highlighting religious and historic connotations, art and art historical contexts, biological and psychological influences and economic and career connections within Church’s work. Allison Perkins, executive director of the Reynolda House Museum, discussed the two aims of these interdisciplinary perspectives. “We wanted to illustrate for the students the number of ways 19th century individuals would have encountered this work,” she said. “We also wanted to connect the variety of disciplines of the university core coursework, to give them a preliminary excursion into the academic world.” These two aims were ferreted out further on the night of the exhibition. Perkins described how the museum created a mock of the original settings under which the work would have been illustrated in their auditorium. She explained how the museum “built a wall on the stage of the auditorium.” “The staff set up drapery around the outside of the work,” she said. The students were even given opera glasses and viewing tubes to focus on individual parts
of the painting.” This is how Church would have originally shown his work in the 19th century and how individuals of the time would have experienced it. Later in the night, the students discussed the work with both their faculty and student advisers. In his own YouTube video, Associate Dean of Academic Advising Perry Patterson discussed how these advisers “initiated the intellectual discussion about the artwork with their students.” Patterson defined how the advisers sought to give an introduction to the type of discussion that takes place in the classroom at the university. Jennifer Raab, the Reynolda House Museum’s postdoctoral fellow, was instrumental in creating this initial interdisciplinary experience. Raab completed her doctoral dissertation on the works of Church. Perkins, Patterson and the committee who works with the Office of Academic Advising on the logistics of the incoming student orientation met with Raab for the first time late last summer in front of the work. Raab planted the seeds for the interdisciplinary look at this painting by discussing how Church spans disciplines. “This was a lightbulb moment for the committee,” Perkins said. “Their faces and discussion showed how excited they became about all of the academic possibilities this painting offered,” Perkins said. Raab later worked with the faculty who created the interdisciplinary YouTube videos about The Andes of Ecuador and even created an introductory one herself. Perkins viewed the entirety of the experience as a success. “The 1,200 incoming students toured the museum, viewed the work by Church and had an enjoyable experience at the Reynolda House,” she said. “They seemed eager to be here, were appreciative of the efforts made on their behalf and provided engaging reflections of their own on Church’s artwork through their discussions with the museum staff and their advisers.” Looking toward the future of this summer academic project, Perkins desires to measure the impact of this one event on the future work of the incoming students and to “see how the students were inspired to look into art, art history and the Reynolda House Museum.”

South: New residence friendly to environment
Continued from Page A1
Sustainability facets encompass the building, from solar panels on the roof to increased access to natural light. University architect Ryan Swanson states that “natural light is an essential part of the design. Double-paned aluminum windows match the style of older buildings on campus, but their high-efficiency and low maintenance provide an important energy-saving element.” The residence hall also has energy-efficient appliances in the kitchens on each floor, high-efficiency washers in the laundry room, and thermostats that can be adjusted in individual rooms. Students may be curious about the future of other campus buildings. Yost assures that other residence halls will continue to receive “sustainable upgrades” in the coming years. He explains that in the past three years, all washers and dryers and shower heads have been converted to high efficiency/low energy systems. Additionally, dual-flush water saving toilets and lighting upgrades have been installed in multiple buildings throughout campus. Finally, new Energy-Star rated micro-fridges have begun to be phased in throughout campus. All of these efforts will continue to make residence halls and academic buildings environment friendly. Other
sustainable facets include a solar hot water collection that occurs on the roof-mounted panels. Solar energy heats these liquid-filled tubes and will provide a sufficient supply of hot tap water for showers and sinks. This solar energy heating system greatly reduces the amount of natural gas needed to produce hot water. According to the architect, over 86 percent of all occupied space receives a 25-foot candle worth of daylight illumination, reducing serious electricity consumption. Also, 50 percent of all construction material was recycled after completion. The building contractor diverted nearly 80 percent of all waste generated during construction from the landfill. Recycling centers for student use are conveniently located on each floor as part of the university’s ongoing commitment to reduce landfill volume. Finally, the 20 percent goal for locally sourced material within a 500-mile radius was reached and even exceeded. South Residence Hall and its residents demonstrate an increasingly campus-wide dedication to sustainability, standing as the prime example for the university’s future in building construction and daily life.

Party: Info for students
Continued from Page A1
about registering your party and reserving oncampus places where your party can be held. If you are on the attending side of the partygoing activities then there is also a wealth of information for you on the university’s Party Smart website including bringing your university ID in order to correctly sign in to the on-campus parties, being in compliance and recognizing the rule that all on-campus parties are to end at 11 p.m. on weeknights and 2 a.m. on weekends, and also planning your own travel arrangements so that the host doesn’t have to. Along with these two categories there is an abundance of information on the effects of alco-
hol on the body and the serious health-risks that come with deciding to drink to excess as well as some notes on being a good neighbor and cleaning up after yourself. Under the “Be a Good Neighbor” tab, there is a short quiz that students can take to measure their good-neighborliness including the nature of your contact with your neighbors and the way you treat them. Overall, the Party Smart website is a recent effort that has been handed to students to increase their personal saftey and for their general personal benefit. While most of the information is most likely already well-understood, it would be for the advantage of all university students to at least give it a glance, think about its suggestions and then go out and “party smart.”

Prof. King will be missed as adviser
T
he Old Gold & Black editorial staff would like to thank Professor Wayne King for being our newspaper adviser for many years and wish him well after his retirement. He was a very supportive adviser who allowed us to be independent and let us grow as a student newspaper on campus. King served as editor of his paper when he was in college: the UNC Chapel Hill’s Daily Tarheel. As a journalism professor, King brought prestige to the university; he won a Pulitzer
prize for writing on the Detroit riots. His classes were entertaining and informative. King clearly has a breadth of experience that made his teaching invaluable for all of his students. He is a very quotable person, and he had a lot of insight to offer journalism students. Though we will miss having King as our adviser, he will be forever quoted on our OGB shirts. We will continue to be inspired from his teachings as we put together the paper every week.
The Pit still lacks sufficient seating space
A
s we entered the Pit on the first day of classes, we realized that there is still a very huge problem with our cafeteria. There is simply not enough room for all of us to sit and stand in line at the various stations. We have seen people standing and eating, and lines have gotten so long that they start to blend in with other lines. Even though the Pit is slightly larger, with new seating in the old Sundry location, the expansion did not do much to alleviate the congestion. The expansion seems like it was a lastminute, ill-planned decision, Sitting in the “Sundry section” feels like you are sectioned off from the rest of the Pit. Also, we're not sure how many people will buy anything from the part of the Sundry that is still there. We feel that the university should have anticipated the
increased congestion at the Pit due to the added students on campus. The university should have taken steps to increase space in the Pit before they let the student body get any larger. A major problem with the new changes at the Pit is the enforcement of the recyclable to-go boxes. While the office of sustainability has done a great deal to ease the transition, many upperclassmen never received recyclable to-go boxes from their resident advisors. Additionally, the dropoff points have not been publicized well. We hope that the inital confusion surrounding the process will be eliminated as the semester progresses. Finally, we wish that the dessert station had not been moved. We miss having personal interactions with the bakers and being able to get cookies that were right out of the oven.

Off the Beaten Track | A Fresh Perspective
Obama should reevaluate his priorities Education, economy concern many from both political parties
Jimmy Hornstein Staff columnist
I
n 2008, after Barack Obama was elected president of the United States, many people had hope about the future direction of the country. The Republican Party made a strong challenge and fought hard for their conservative ideals, but pundits and critics believed Obama
had won the election conclusively enough to go forward with his ambitious mandate of change, despite some of its bold and controversial facets. However, Obama made more than a few mistakes after his presidential honeymoon came to an end. From controversy concerning his choices for cabinet positions to drawing heat for criticizing a police officer, Obama made some awful choices after accruing the type of political capital that many presidents before him would have liked to have had during their presidencies. Perhaps the biggest mistake was how Obama went about handling the execution of arguably his biggest political promise: national health care reform. Despite the fact Obama and his people made it such a prominent part of his campaign, I believe Obama wasted much of his political capital in the partisan bickering and

The U.S. should ensure that nuclear weapons remain in control of governments
Undoubtedly, the Democrats will lose some seats, and Obama will be looking to paint himself in a positive light before 2012. One idea that I believe should be of most importance is within the education system. Something currently implemented in the Winston-Salem area is the teaching of AP courses at a separate school than the school one attends. Not only does this system promote the idea of meeting other individuals outside your school, but it also creates a competitive atmosphere in which kids can strive to achieve their best. Guaranteed teachers’ unions and budgets are significant obstacles to academic improvement, but the administration should strongly consider further investigating how to improve the academic quality of this country.

Children play purely for the love of the game in the Little League World Series
Hamlin Wade
S
Staff columnist
unday afternoon saw the end of the 2010 Little League World Series. After 19 days of glory, the door has once again been closed on a magical ride where dreams come true on national television. Teams from the United States, from New Jersey and Texas to the islands of Hawaii, battled it out to be the representative with a chance to claim the title of the world’s best. Standing in their way were the powerhouses from around the world, with teams from Latin America, Europe and Asia. After the dust had settled, only Japan remained, proudly claiming the title of Little League Champion for the 2010 season. So what is it about the Little League World Series that captivates us? Are we enthralled by the fact that a 12 year old is able to make a catch over a tarp, gather himself and then throw out a runner trying to tag up and score? Or is it the drama of the Japanese team hitting a three-run homerun in the last inning to win after trailing the entire game? Perhaps it’s the fact that these kids, who are supposed to be regular 12 year olds, can hit the ball farther than most of us could ever dream of at that age. Maybe, more than anything, we enjoy the opportunity to watch innocent athletes play the game the right way. With all the scandal surrounding sports today, it’s refreshing to simply watch a game without hearing the back story regarding a professional player’s recent arrest or drug history. For the last two weeks, we’ve been able to enjoy baseball. And only baseball. We don’t have to wonder whether or not the star third basemen spends his free time injecting himself with performance enhancers.
And, we can rest assured that the starting pitcher has never had the opportunity to lie during a Congressional hearing. Perhaps this is why we love watching the Little League World Series. We are able to realize why we love sports. We can’t help but smile when the 4 foot-11inches centerfielder for Washington is called on to close a game after his teammates chant his name, convincing their manager to put him on the mound. For once, we’re able to watch ESPN and not be bombarded with stories about old quarterbacks on the verge of retirement or golfers struggling with marital issues. Watching the last two weeks, I have once again been reminded as to why I love sports. It’s easy to be burned out after the tireless around-the-clock news updates regarding seemingly everything but sports. The Little League World Series allows us to remember what it’s like to be a kid. The joy of these children, the unbridled excitement, is something we all wish to relive. Teams dance together with the tournament mascot before games, the umpires (all volunteers) do the chicken dance in between innings and the fans cheer and sing alongside their players. Despite all the lightheartedness, the baseball is still impressive. The kids turn double plays, make diving catches and hit monstrous homeruns. Yet, while they do this, they still have fun.The Little League World Series reminds us of why we play sports. We often forget, amid the contract negotiations, the fights and the off-field antics, that sports are meant to be fun. These kids never forget. They may be serious on the field, but as soon as the game is over, they return to their childish status. These kids are great athletes, but more than anything they are phenomenal children. We could learn a lot from these kids. Above all, we could learn how to once again be children. We may be too old to still play on the shortened fields and dance with the mascots, but we will never be too old to live like the players of the Little League World Series. So, next time you hear about an athlete getting arrested in a club at 3 a.m., think back to these last two weeks. Remember the joy these kids felt and remember exactly why we love sports.

Campus Kitchen saves food from dumpsters By Caitlin Brooks | Production manager
Campus Kitchen has long been known for efforts in food justice on campuses across America. The university’s branch expanded these efforts in February through a unique partnership with high-end, artisanal grocery store, The Fresh Market. Through Campus Kitchen, between 400 to 650 pounds of perfectly edible food each week are saved from the WinstonSalem Fresh Market dumpsters and distributed by three local agencies to families in need. Though The Fresh Market is a significantly large, regional chain only the Winston-Salem store has entered into a partnership of this sort largely because of the initiative of one of its former part-time employees, Tracy Stegman. Stegman, who also works as a university Licensure Officer in the department of education, made the immediate connection between the role Campus Kitchen plays in food redistribution and the wasteful practices of her one-time and shorttime employer. After several months of negotiations with the company last year, an agreement was reached and the first drop occurred in February 2010. Campus Kitchen serves as the middleman in this new program. Fresh Market employees gather the food from the shelves and ready it for departure. Campus Kitchen volunteers sort through the produce and deliver it to one of three agencies — El Buen Pastor, Potter’s House or The Shalom Project — and the agencies in turn distribute the food according to the most efficient means for their particular community.

Team USA remains undefeated in FIBA World Championship The anything but organized U.S. basketball team continued to win games in a surprisingly sloppy manner on Sept. 1 in the FIBA World Championship. The American squad beat Team Iran 88-51 in a game which the only team preventing Team USA from scoring was Team USA. Most critics say the Americans beat an Iranian team they should have beaten by 50 points, by 37. After a narrow, two point victory over Brazil in the previous game, Team USA made sure to score early against Iran. Kevin Love lead the U.S. team against the Asian champions with 13 points. Kevin Durant scored 12 points and contributed to the teams 58 percent field goal percentage and 23 points from turnovers. Now 4-0, the team is scheduled to play the fourth-place team from Group A. If they win, the Americans will advance to the quarterfinals.

Ranked No. 6 in the nation and No. 4 in the ACC, the Wake Forest field hockey program kicked off the 2010 season in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge this past weekend in Chapel Hill. The Lady Deas entered into the Aug. 28 game against Iowa with an impressive 8-2 record over the Hawkeyes from past years. In the first half of the game, the Deacs dominated control of the ball and tried to deliver on a penalty corner in the 23rd minute, but Iowa’s goalie saved shot attempts from both senior Liza Casella and junior Kerry Ergen. With the conclusion of a scoreless half, sophomore Lizzie Rae, the only Deacon selected on the preseason all-ACC team, scored in the 39th minute with a feed from junior Lauren Greenwald. Ten minutes later, the Deacs utilized a penalty corner when junior midfield/forward Faith Adams set up Rae for her second goal. The squad kept up the momentum when freshman Jess McFayden scored in her first Wake Forest appearance in the 54th minute of play. Hawkeye Danielle Peirson answered in the following minute with a goal off of a penalty corner, but Deacon goalie sophmore Kaitlyn Ruhf stayed strong in the cage and finished the game with three saves. Concluding the game with a 3-1 victory, the Deacons were confident to take on Michigan the following day. The Wolverines quickly asserted their dominance in the first half with nine shots and four penalty corners.

The Deacons finally rallied when junior Cristen Atchison fed a pass to freshman Kari Walkley for her first career goal to conclude the half. In the 41st minute of the game, Michigan midfielder Vanessa Sekhon tied the game 1-1. Deacon sophomore Jillian Anzalone responded a minute later with her first career goal off a penalty corner with assists from juniors Faith Adams and Lauren Greenwald. “When I went into the game I just wanted to show my team how much heart I can play with,” Anzalone said. “I subbed in and almost immediately Wake received a penalty corner. Coach Jen Averill whistled at me to take the strike, shockingly, I felt ready for it and confident. I felt such relief knowing I helped my team get one up on Michigan and I was ecstatic that I was given the opportunity!” In the 46th minute, Adams secured the Deacs with her first goal of the 2010 season, while freshman Taylor Rhea followed by scoring the final two goals of the game within four minutes of each other. Ruhf clocked 70 minutes of play and six saves and solidified the second victory of the Deacs. “We try to excel in things we can control and that is our tactical awareness, aggressiveness, fitness and poise,” Anzalone said. “To get ready for UNC we are going to train like it’s any other competitor. We are going into this game with no focus on their previous titles. It’s simple: Demon Deacs vs. Tarheels. We are going to play our game Friday, and this week we’ll work on things we need to fix in order to be the best,” she said. The Demon Deacons will challenge their classic rivals, the Carolina Tarheels, at 3 p.m., Sept. 3, in Kentner Stadium.

The Demon Deacons finished their exhibition season with a perfect record on an Aug. 27 night with an exciting 3-2 win over the Furman Paladins in front of a crowd of over 2,300 in Greenville, S.C. Wake Forest and Furman last met the previous season in an exhibition match in which the Deacons won 3-0. This year the Deacs fell behind early however, when Furman junior Eric Cobleigh’s header found the back of the net in the 15th minute. The Deacons did not back down and found offense in sophomore Andy Lubahn who scored on a pass from freshman Kyle Emerson in the 35th minute. The first half was otherwise very quiet offensively with Wake Forest only attempting one shot, which was Lubahn’s goal. The second half saw the Paladins take the lead once again on another header, this time by freshman Michael Gandier in the 60th minute. Needing a spark on offense in order to make a comeback, the Deacons relied once again on the strong play of Lubahn as he scored his second goal of the game, this time unassisted in a one-on-one opportunity against the keeper. The goal, which came in the 72nd minute of the match, was Lubahn’s third goal in the past two games. With the game tied at two goals apiece, both teams picked up the intensity level and tried to put their team ahead. Excellent play by sophomore goalie Michael Lisch, highlighted by his diving
stop of a Furman penalty kick in the 79th minute, kept the Deacons tied. In the 83rd minute the Deacons were granted their own penalty kick when sophomore Luciano Delbono was fouled inside the 18-yard box. Sophomore Ben Newnam took the shot for the Demon Deacons and made the best of it scoring what would end up being the game-winning goal. Wake Forest was able to hold off Furman during the final minutes of the contest and come up with a win in their final exhibition match of the season. Lisch got the winning goal for the Deacons. Senior Akira Fitzgerald did play the majority of the game in goal, allowing two goals in 71 minutes of action. The game also saw Deacon Head Coach Jay Vidovich substitute seven players, playing 6 freshman, in an attempt to ready the team for regular season play. “Every year they (Furman) always start the game strong and have a good crowd that makes our ability to play a bit difficult,” Vidovich said. “Even though they were up in two stages of the game, we stayed resilient and used are ability to break down teams through our defense to pull off the come from behind win. Since we are such a young team, there is a lot of potential that is still buried within us and as long as we keep working hard and dedicated at every practice, we will win both games against Seton Hall and Akron.” The Demon Deacons will be looking to start the regular season strong as they head to Greensboro to face the Seton Hall Pirates on Sep. 3. Wake Forest is ranked third in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America preseason poll and hopes to show their talent early in the season. The game will be the season opener for both teams and will be played at 7 p.m. at Bryan Park.
Screamin’Demons changes will improve involvement By Calais Zagarow | Staff writer
The legendary University of Alabama head football coach Bear Bryant once spoke to the popularity of college football stating, “It’s kind of hard to rally around a math class.” There are probably a few Wake Forest students who would be willing to argue against Coach Bryant’s statement, as it is nearly impossible for the typical Wake student to disguise their deeply rooted inner nerd. From Civil War history and Lockean political theory, to the inner-workings of managerial accounting, throughout the workweek, and sometimes on weekends, Wake Forest students think, talk and breathe their courses. But where is the escape? When do we sever the binds of Wake Forest’s competitive academic environment and instead relish in the less scholarly, but arguably more important aspect of college: football?

S PORTS Deacons take tournament by storm
IN THE SPOTLIGHT:
As many Wake Forest students, faculty, staff and alumni have noticed in recent years, no matter how well the Demon Deacons are playing on the gridiron, the stands at BB&T Field are rarely packed. Especially after the recent expansions to the football stadium, if the bleachers aren’t bloodied with Cornhusker red or overflowing with down-home Hokie fans, then our players are looking up to the stands for motivation and celebration only to find specks of gold and black floating in a vast pool of steel benches and concrete. Of course there are hundreds of students each year who sign up for Screamin’ Demons and fill the eastern stands with cheers, expletives and Wake Forest garb galore. There are also the faithful local families and Wake Forest alumni who come to the stadium in Demon Deacon-themed school buses and RV’s to show support for our team. Yet, when I turn on the television to watch the University of Georgia Bulldogs, the only SEC team I can feign
support for, I shutter at how spirited and downright outrageous the students are as they rally support around their football team. Even into the fourth quarter, when the Dawgs are down by 17, the stands are still packed with unconditionally faithful students that love their team and university far too much to even imagine vacating the premises to go elsewhere. UGA might have almost ten times as many students that WFU has, but this comparison still suggests that there is a certain faithfulness to college football that can be found all over the United States that the student body here at Wake Forest has never truly fully bought into. Perhaps we could blame the Greeks, who come to games in their best pastels, inhabit the top left corner of the stands for the first half, then disappear to nurse on a beer as soon as the going gets rough. It is also tempting to just ignore our lack of football spirit and proclaim instead that, as long-time residents of Tobacco Road, we’re a “Basketball
School” and Tie Dye Nation is proof enough of our love for the Demon Deacons. Fortunately, this year, Wake Forest Athletics has taken a look at the policies for student football and basketball tickets and revised them to counteract the tides of Wake Forest culture that push students away from the stands. These changes to the policies regarding student ticket acquisition include an end to the mandatory Screamin’ Demon shirt policy, an end to the required attendance policy and a system that allows students who do attend a lot of games to earn the right to have better seats throughout the football and basketball seasons. Students will also be allowed to reenter the football stadium this fall, giving them the freedom to go back to the parking lot to tailgate during halftime or do anything they might need to do outside the stadium that otherwise would have prevented them from returning or coming to the game at all.

By Bobby O’Connor | Sports editor Sophomore midfielder Elizabeth Rae, from Christchurch, New Zealand, has become a standout this season on the field hockey team. Rae had 19 appearances and 18 starts for the lady Deacs in her freshman season. She was named Second Team All-South Region and earned a spot on the Gladiator by SIG/National Field Hockey Coaches Association Division I National Academic Squad after leading the field hockey team with 11 goals in her first season. Additionally Rae has also been selected to play on New Zealand’s underage national team and went to nationals with New Zealand’s Canterbury Under18 team. When and how did you start playing field hockey? I played soccer until I was about nine and then my friends introduced me to hockey and I fell in love with the speed and skill of the game. What do you find the most exciting part of field hockey? The most exciting part of field hockey is the intensity and license for creativity; it really is like no other sport. How is the sport different in New Zealand? Hockey is different in New Zealand as it is more skill based and we have more license to be creative on the field. One difference I struggled with when I first arrived at Wake was the rigidity of the sport in terms of structure and tactics. How did you find yourself at Wake Forest all the way from New Zealand? Halfway through my last year of high school I realized I wanted to experience different cultures and that playing collegiate sports in the States would be a great pathway towards this. I also had some older hockey mentors in New Zealand who had been in the States and really benefited from the experience. From there I contacted a bunch of universities, sent a video of me playing field hockey and then narrowed down my options based on my interactions with the coaching staff.
How has field hockey at Wake Forest been different than your experiences in high school? The intensity is a lot higher with a greater emphasis on fitness, speed and strength. Also, training so many hours together you create this rich social atmosphere that carries greater emotions and makes you want to work that much harder for your teammates. What is it like playing on New Zealand’s underage national team? My first game for New Zealand was one of the most terrifying and awesome experiences in my life. There is nothing as uplifting as representing your country. Why did you choose to come to Wake Forest? The hardest part in coming to the States was deciding which university to go to. Ultimately, Wake’s combination of a small liberal arts college with great academic and field hockey standings came out on top. Also, one talk with my head coach, Jen Averill, I knew this would be the right place for me as she seemed so knowledgeable, but most importantly, extremely passionate for the sport and her players. What has been the most challenging aspect of your time at Wake Forest thus far? The lack of free time during season. Between training, traveling and doing school work there isn’t a whole lot of time to socialize. How would you characterize your experience playing in the ACC? The ACC is the best field hockey conference; the fierce and healthy competition on a regular basis helps our team perform to our potential. What ACC team has presented itself as the biggest threat this season? It is too early to tell who is going to be the biggest threat, but for certain UNC will be one of the toughest competitors. Do you think that your style of play has evolved since you arrived at Wake Forest? I feel I have definitely evolved on the field since being here as I have had to merge my creativ-
ity with a more controlled and disciplined style, incorporating a lot more leg work and running to be a more successful player. How would you characterize yourself as an athlete? In New Zealand, I always saw myself as a field hockey player before an athlete. Since being at Wake I have started to change this around and I realize the importance of the fitness program we have in place. If for some reason tomorrow you were no longer able to play field hockey, what would you aspire to? Field hockey is such a big part of how I define myself, that if I could no longer play, I would still have to be involved in the program here at Wake. Field hockey is about so much more than just the sport, you really learn how to manage stress and barriers in your life and I think it is important to show this to the younger generation.
surrounded with such a determined and caring team who has so much passion to play for Wake. We are unique because we play for what Wake hockey represents as an institution rather than individual players. What are your personal and team goals for this season? My goals for this season are to be the top goal scorer and help my team go all the way to the final four tournament. As always our team goal is to win NCAA and ACC championship and to always play on Sundays. Is there a particular professional athlete that you have looked up to throughout your career? Michael Jordan is someone I have always looked up to simply because he lived by the idea that you have to fail to succeed. As an athlete I fail more times than I succeed but that is why I love it because when you really accomplish your goals it is the best feeling.
Do you feel like being a Division I athlete requires you to make a lot of social or personal sacrifices? Part of why I love being an athlete is that you have to make so many sacrifices both personal and social for your sport, which makes it that much more special when you succeed as you have so much more at stake.
Who has been the most supportive person in your life throughout your field hockey career? From an early age my family was always playing competitively in the backyard which really developed my love for sports. Also, my parents have made so many sacrifices so that I could have every opportunity that I asked for and have given me constructive guidance throughout my career.
Do you have a mental routine that helps you stay focused during games? I kind of tell myself that this is a chance to be myself, this is my arena and no one is going to be better because I want the ball more than every other person.
If you could visit one place in the world where would it be? I would love to play hockey in Argentina, field hockey is really part of the culture there.
What do you find to be the biggest challenge in training? The biggest challenge in training is to try and stay positive and work hard when you are having an off day, it is the easiest thing to give up or not try your absolute hardest for the team. What do you think makes the field hockey team unique here at Wake Forest? The team culture is fantastic, I have never been
Where do you see yourself 10 years from now? I have absolutely no idea where I will be or what I will be doing, but I hope it involves field hockey. How do you hope to follow up your freshman career with 19 appearances and 18 starts? My freshman season was a struggle; I was recovering from a stress fracture and my fitness and skills were definitely not up to my expectations. I am so excited to really show my potential this season. I just want to keep building from last season, putting in as many minutes as possible.

Lady Deacs trump Eastern Carolina Pressbox:
Plan to increase participation Continued from Page B1

The women’s soccer team beat Eastern Carolina on Aug. 27 in Greenville, N.C. Goals by Rachel Nuzzolese and Casey Luckhurst propelled the Lady Deacs to victory. By Bobby O’Connor | Sports editor
Wake Forest 2 Eastern Carolina 1 The Lady Deacs beat Eastern Carolina University in a 2-1 victory Aug. 27 in Greenville, N.C. The goals from freshman Rachel Nuzzolese and senior Casey Luckhurst propelled the team to the win. Nuzzolese became the first player in the university’s history to score in each of her first three games.
Luckhurst scored in the 7th minute off a long ball from sophomore Kristen Meier put Luckhurst one-on-one with the keeper, and the forward shot past the goalie to put the Deacons ahead 1-0. The second goal came from Nuzzolese, giving Wake Forest a 2-0 lead, in the 69th minute when she took a short pass from senior Bianca D’Agostino at the top of the box and placed it into the top right corner of the goal. The Pirates brought the game to 2-1 in the 76th minute when the Lady Deacs failed to clear a corner kick and Pirates Kimmy Cummings scored off a close range shot assisted by Hali Oughton.
University hosts Walt Chyzowych Memorial Fund Soccer Clinic The university hosted the Walt Chyzowych Memorial Fund Soccer Clinic Aug. 29 at Spry Stadium. The clinic, in its 10th year, hosted approximately 250 kids, ages 4-14, this year. Chyzowych was the coach of the Wake Forest men’s soccer team from 1986 to his death in 1994 and lead the team to four NCAA bids and one ACC championship. Chyzowych was a former coach and player for the United States national team. The memorial fund supports programs and persons aspiring to the principles of life and sport as espoused and exemplified by Chyzowych.
Overall the Demon Deacons outshot the Pirates 10-7, with a 6-2 advantage on shots on goal. Luckhurt lead the team with four shots on goal, while D’Agostino, freshman Jackie McSally, freshman Katie Stengel and sophomore Alisha Woodson each had a shot on goal. Sophmore Chrissy Gratz led East Carolina with three shots, and sophmore Christiane Cordero made four saves in the net for the Pirates. The Deacons will be back in action when they hosts the ACC/SEC Challenge next weekend at Spry Stadium. They will face LSU at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 3 before taking on Kentucky on Sept. 5.
Deac Notes
There are also a lot of exciting opportunities for students to form tailgating groups and compete against others to win prizes and privileges, something that is sure to encourage other athletic teams, clubs and Greek organizations to participate. It would be dishonest for me to say that I have high hopes for the upcoming football season given the number of excellent athletes that we have lost to the NFL or the real world in the past few years. However, I have a lot of faith in Wake Forest Athletics’ newly designed policies and do believe that it is possible for Wake Forest students to be as spirited and supportive of our football team as UGA’s student body is. It will definitely take time and a serious overhaul of the Lilly Pulitzer/Vineyard Vines pastel norm amongst students in order for our stadium to truly glow with the passion and support that our football players deserve. But, if you take a look at Wake Forest Athletics’ efforts to encourage students to support our university’s athletic endeavors this fall, you too will see that there is a bright future ahead for the student fans of the Demon Deacons.
Men’s Tennis announces a challenging 2010-11 schedule
Jeff Wyshner announced as new women’s tennis head coach
The Wake Forest men’s tennis team has released its 2010-11 schedule, with the season slate containing 12 home matches. The Demon Deacons will also compete in six fall tournaments, beginning Sept. 10-12 when they travel to Virginia for the UVA Fall Classic. The Deacs will play an extremely challenging dual match schedule in the spring, with 18 of their 22 opponents finishing the 2010 season in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association national rankings. The Deacons will open their home slate against Virginia Commonwealth on Feb. 13, and will host Louisville on Feb. 19.
Director of Athletics Ron Wellman announced Jeff Wyshner as the new Head Coach for women’s tennis Aug. 27. Wyshner comes to Wake Forest with 17 years of college head coaching experience and has spent the last four seasons as the head women’s tennis coach at the University of Akron.

Student entrepreneurs excel in the film industry
ENTERTAINMENT By Caroline Edgeton | Managing editor For over 1,000 students here at the university, this time is called “senior year.” This is the year where many of us find ourselves scatter brained as a result of trying to finish up our final hours as undergraduates while also trying to figure out where on earth (literally) we want to be in the next year – even the next 10 years. It all seems to come at once provided that we spent the first three years of our time in college focusing on just classes, homework, exams, jobs, friends, parties, summer internships and trying to become “real” adults all the while. Now that we have been building ourselves up to a career, it’s time to actually start one. However, with that being said, there are surprisingly a number of students already immersed in a career. Yes, a real career is something that some of us may not be able to fathom until we have graduated. This may make you say, “What the hell?,” but it really shouldn’t. If you really want something, there is always a way to make it tangible.
James Rex and Marco Banfi
White Phoenix Research Group: For sophomore entrepreneurs James Rex and Marco Banfi, they did not want to wait to graduate to get their business started. “We were suitemates last year; James set the platform for the initial proposal and every day, basically, we’d sit down and discuss it. It was a very interesting process,” Banfi said. The idea for their company, White Phoenix Research Group (WPRG), LLC, initially began as research group that targeted film companies – major motion pictures and independent films – with “bubbles.” Bubbles is a type of method that research companies use in order to gauge the reactions of audience members. In WPRG’s case, they wanted to take this method and apply it toward film trailers so that the production companies could evaluate their audience and help them create successful marketing strategies. “We received grant money in the fall and the spring (of last year) just to do research,” Rex said. They actually received $1,800 last fall and $8,800 in the spring from the university. “The initial idea was just to create a website where people could launch movie trailers and get a more in-depth experience by watching the interactions of audience members take place.” For example, if a director had a trailer or an advertisement for a film he or she made, that person could send in the promo to WPRG and obtain professional market research by receiving the re-
sponses of audience members to the product. Furthermore, the individual could also receive advice on where to take the advertising from there. “We test different audiences and different geographical regions … and we give you the research we have based on the marketing research we’ve done ourselves,” Rex said. “But we never like to take away the creativity of our clients; we simply advise. Our clients are certainly more than welcome to take care of their own PR without our help at all.” Though the two have made plenty of progress with the development of their company, it’s still not off the ground yet. There are also changes being made in regard to the direction that the company is going. “As part of our grant requirement we went to L.A. to do our research. “We essentially just made cold calls when we got there. We got some really nice people in response and some really mean ones, too. Hollywood people don’t like to quantify creativity, it seems,” Rex said. The most successful (and beneficial) call the two made was to a man name Anthony Goldschmidt, the owner and creator of Intralink Films, a strategic marketing and creative design group specializing in entertainment and visual communication. “He’s an interesting influence for us because he helped change our direction in how we wanted to go about getting our company started,” Banfi said. Because the two were discouraged by the egos of individuals from Hollywood, they are in the middle of restructuring the company and taking things in a different direction that is taking time to sort out specifically. “The ultimate desire is to sell and not take away the creativity,” Banfi said. “We’re re-doing our business and trying to figure out what we want to do financially and structurally. In a couple of months we’ll be much more clean in terms of that.”
Nolan Silverstein
In a bit of a different direction, senior Nolan Silverstein decided to take a screenplay he wrote
in high school and help his brother out with his senior year film project at Bard College, located in the Hudson River District of New York. “The idea behind (the screenplay) was to put a guy in the most embarrassing family ever,” Silverstein said. “He was ‘life raped,’ basically; he didn’t have a chance at having a normal life at all.” The screenplay he wrote, Jack Jiminy: The Story of a Porn Star Extra, is about the title character’s life as the son of two former porn stars and how he was essentially forced into the porn industry. Not as an actual “porn star,” though, just a “porn star extra” that is famous for playing the random roles needed in porn films that don’t involve anything sexually explicit. “We made the movie under Grip Reality, Inc., and we’re located in Hockessin, Del.; we shot the whole thing for under $5,000 by casting people locally and in the New York area where my brother was going to school,” Silverstein said. “We held open cast calls and had simple advertising.” With a surprising turn out of actors from all over – ranging from off-Broadway actors to firsttimers – Silverstein and his brother, Louis, were able to create their vision of the film. “It was really cool to see people want to do this. Everyone worked for free in exception for meals, which we covered. The only other things we paid for were video and audio equipment as well as transportation,” Silverstein said. “We used someone’s high school gymnasium, someone’s house and some other random locations for filming the movie all for free.” After having a screening here at the university, Silverstein received plenty of support for his film from his fellow classmates. His brother, too, had the same experience back in New York. As a result of the film’s success on an independent level, the two began looking for ways to launch it on a grander scale. By using a connection Silverstein had through a friend, he managed to hook up with Lloyd Kaufman, co-owner of Troma Entertainment. “What drew us to Troma is that fact that they put all their movies on Google
for free; they’re really into sharing your art and free media,” Silverstein said. “This group is the same one that picked up Trey Parker and Matt Stone from South Park, but it’s best known for campy horror films and what not.” “We’re not your typical Troma film, but our main emphasis is on free media and we don’t want people having to pay for our stuff. What we’re trying to do is exploit the internet so that we have the freedom to do what we want to do and that’s where things like Hulu are really helpful,” he said. Over the summer, Silverstein managed to snag an internship and a contract with Troma to help further his understanding of the independent film industry as well as distribute his film on the internet and on DVD. “We have a five to ten year deal with Troma – I’ve been wanting this for years,” Silverstein said. “They’re one of my favorite movie studios.” According to Silverstein this experience has been a dream come true and it couldn’t have gone better. Overall, no matter if you’re dreaming of an entrepreneurial endeavor or have a desire to make a film about a porn star extra, it is undeniably something that can be done with effort and the desire to succeed.

Columnist guides single women searching for love By William Daly | Staff columnist
Hey there single, I’ve got great news for you. You are a female, and as such for every 100 of you that are born, that means there were 107 boys born. This means that it is impossible for you, as a woman, to be left out. Don’t worry about those seven men though, they are usually dwarves and end up sharing one woman somewhere in the forest. My only question to you is, why are you reading this if there is so much man-meat available? Are you feeling a little worried about what you future may hold? Curious how you are going to choose among such a wide variety of males? Great, because this guide will bring confidence to any woman with these problems, guaranteed. * Appearance 33 percent (all or nothing): A man’s appearance is very important to a woman, and I quote: “And we’ll kick them to the curb, ‘less they look like Mick Jagger” –Ke$ha.

Also, some women find it important that their male is a certain height, in fact 95 percent of sperm donors are 5-foot10-inches or taller (MANswers). So how tall do you like your men? This is important because it is different for every girl. If you want shorter guys (anything smaller than 6’), perhaps crouch or kneel at parties in order to get to eye level with them. It can be very intimidating for one of these short guys to have to look up to talk to a woman, also depending on your breast size it may be impossible for the two of you to make eye contact. For taller men, start attending basketball games or volleyball tournaments. Focus your attention on the centers or forwards, they tend to be the taller players, although you may need to exchange the football mentioned earlier for something more towards their athletic tastes.

Concert entertains students despite flaws By Margret Gelburd | Staff writer
When people heard Lambda Chi Alpha was bringing Sam Adams to campus, a general hum of excitement buzzed through the student population. Before the academic school year even began, flyers could be seen attached to vacant walls or tables announcing Sam Adams’ anticipated arrival to campus on Aug. 25. By the time the performance date arrived many students had bought their pre-sale tickets and a large majority was probably looking up Sam Adams’ songs online to see what all the hype was about. When the night of the performance arrived many were surprised to see Lambda Chi junior, Harrison White, on stage serving as the opening DJ. Thirty minutes before the show, Sam Adams’ DJ encountered problems with his equipment causing the Lambda Chi treasurer, Curt Kelliher, to rush White back to the stage. Despite the short notice, White kept the audience occupied and entertained by concluding that “teaching everyone to Dougie would make everything alright,” and so it did. When Sam Adams took the stage 45 minutes after his scheduled time, his performance was on par with what was anticipated of him. While many rappers create beats and works of art discussing the trials of life and love, Sammy Adams creates remixes about getting laid, drinking out of kegs and popping champagne. The lyrics of Adams’ most popular songs expel catchy beats that have become party staples across the coun-

His age proximity to the audience was made apparent when he led us in chants against UNC and Duke and asked if we were allowed to drink at his concert. It’s no wonder that Adams collects the majority of his fan base from college students. These contagious beats, with their ability to stick in our heads for days, are played throughout parties and all over national radio. Adams lives the life he describes in his hit, “Coast to Coast,” of “lifestyle switchin” between being a senior at Trinity, serving as captain of the Trinity school soccer team and living the life of a budding performer. Needless to say, Adams is not the most gifted performer that has set foot on campus.

Movie Review | Step Up 3D
Music and dance sequel lacks a substantive plot By Adrienne Alexander | Staff writer
Step Up 3D tells the story of New York City nightclub owner Luke Katcher (Rick Malambri) who takes in troubled dancers, giving them shelter, acceptance and a place to practice their art. When his property is threatened with foreclosure due to unpaid bills, Katcher sees the $100,000 grand prize of the epic World Jam dance battle as the perfect solution. His passion for filmmaking leads him into the path of Robert “Moose” Alexander III (Adam G. Sevani of Step Up 2), an NYU freshman engineering student who has sworn off dance in order to focus on his studies but falls off the wagon just in time to join Katcher’s crew as they compete for the prize money. A mysterious young female dancer also captivates Katcher’s camera, and soon Natalie “No-Name” (Sharni Vinson) has joined the Pirates as they prepare to take on the Samurai. But will her undisclosed past come back to haunt these World Jam hopefuls?

CD Review | Down the Way
Duo releases solid folk album By Pooja Patel | Staff writer
Rachel Cameron/Old Gold & Black
Students at Awake All Night in Benson University Center party Las Vegas-style with a round of roulette on Aug. 28.
With all the chaos and frustration life has to offer, Angus and Julia Stone’s latest album is exactly the thing a person could use to wind down after a hectic day. The Australian siblings released their second album, Down the Way, earlier this year. The soothing album holds a few tracks similar in style from their first album, A Book Like This back in 2007. The velvety, oddlycomforting voices of Angus and Julia make for the perfect bedtime album. The lyrical quality of the music is also up to par with the tone and rhythm of the music as it primarily discusses the complexities of relationships and being in love. The album begins with the powerful and somber “Hold On,” which is sung solely with Julia’s voice. The catchier, most upbeat track, “Black Crow” is Angus’ attempt to provide a more upbeat male solo track. The most memorable numbers are
the ones with both Angus and Julia, the ups and downs, the ins and outs, whose voices mesh into a tender har- the happiness and sadness that come mony. with each and every relationship.

Genders differ in their definition of ‘hooking up’ She Said
He Said
By Ae’Jay Mitchell | Staff writer
Less than a week ago I was sitting in a cabin in the Berkshires of Massachusetts remembering the three months of an intense and inspiring summer. Now as I sit on the Quad, my frantic mind continues to drift to summer loving. Ok, so once I got past the annoying Grease song that often references those two words, I realized that this summer was spent dancing, working and hooking up. Basically, this summer was an experiment asking “What happens when you place 33 dancers in the woods for three months?” Beyond the obvious choreographing, dancing and sleeping, hooking up falls quite importantly in the mix. So the question really is, “how did this summer of creative and sexual explorations happen without feelings being destroyed?” The answer lies in a life dance I will call “The Art of Hooking Up and Not Being an A-hole.” Before you enter the dance, you have to have an understanding of what the dance means. In other words, what is the true definition of hooking up? Hilarously, one Urban Dictionary entry defines the term as “an incredibly ambiguous phrase that drives me absolutely insane when people use it.” The first step to not being an a-hole in hooking up is to define for yourself what hooking up actually means to you. For some, hooking up is simply heaving kissing at a party. For others, it is full on sex in an obscure place like a library or some random field. Whatever it is for you, just make it that and keep it as that. Once you have figured out what a hook up will be for you, you should be completely honest about it with your potential hook up partner. Now this is not a typical, be-honest-with-your-partner speech because, let’s face it, the honesty in a full fledge
relationship allows for some petty lies and truth bending. However, hooking up requires full honesty mainly because hooking up is NOT SERIOUS! Yes, despite what you might hope and believe, your definition of hooking up must have the idea of a “casual encounter” embedded deep within its core. Therefore, if hooking up, for you does not include “going all the way” and you decide to go all the way with your hook up partner, it is quite silly to expect commitment simply because you compromised your hook up contract. Full sex should only be in your hook up contract if you are comfortable with casual sex. The finale of this dance is perhaps the most important part of the “The Art of Hooking Up and Not Being an A-hole.” This step happens after a hook up has already happened and you want to do it again. The conversation should include a discussion about EXCLUSIVITY! Most people automatically assume exclusivity is required, but “open relationships” do exist outside of Facebook relationship statuses. In my opinion, I believe one should assume an open relationship until otherwise discussed. In following this choreographic guide to hooking up, 33 dancers survived 99 days in the woods without catastrophic relationship disasters. Choose to hook up or choose not to hook up, but don’t choose to linger in the undefined relationship limbo. Ambiguity leads to a broken heart every time.

The term “hooking up” is easily used to avoid details without inviting questions. This phrase easily evades questions while defining a certain type of relationship that can be a little awkward to describe (i.e. Jimmy and I have been hooking up for three weeks now, and no, we’re not dating). But what does this all really mean? When a friend says that she hooked up with a guy last night, the phrase itself insinuates many different things to different people. The ambiguity of the word makes the theme of “being intimate with another person” easier to talk about, while creating confusion for those not well informed of the situation. The root of the phrase “to hook up” is ambiguous itself – is it implying sex, hanging out or anything in between? When someone receives a text at some point on a Friday night saying, “hey, want to hook up later?” a table of uncertainty is unfolded. Does this text imply that I should run back to my dorm, inform my roommate that I won’t be coming back tonight, and pack up a change of shoes for my walk back in the morning? Does this mean that I should brush my teeth in anticipation of nothing beyond the basics? Or, in certain circumstances, does this mean that I should don my walking shoes for a simple hang-out sesh, and nothing more? If people would just clarify their intentions, this whole list of uncertainties could be simplified to one definitive answer. Furthermore, when I’m talking with my friends and tell them about a guy I
hooked up with, I assume we’re on the same page about my definition. However, even with people that I’m close with, the lines get blurred between the different levels of the classification. Perhaps the phrase is left ambiguous to save the privacy of the individual at hand. If you are the sender of the text saying, “want to hook up later?,” wouldn’t it be easier to avoid this euphemism and actually state your intentions? I think that on both ends of the line, a simple clarification would make things a lot smoother and cut down the ambiguity on an already potentially awkward topic. Breaking away from the actual definition of the phrase, let’s move onto the repercussions. So a Friday night comes around, you drink too much punch and you become the recipient of a dancefloor-make-out (or more). At the time, it seems like such an innocent thing – it’s merely a form of momentary entertainment. Unfortunately, when you find yourself staring down the person next to you in the omelet line at the pit the next morning, the memories come flying back in foggy waves. One must remember that our university becomes pint sized at the most inconvenient times. The consequences of our actions must be faced much more rapidly at Wake than at other universities. At some schools you may never see your random hook up again, but at Wake Forest … chances are you’ll see them in a number of days. The size alone inhibits the intentions and factors leading to either the awkwardness of a hook up, or the reoccurring theme of one. No matter what the circumstances are, one must be sure to be on the same page with the person around them with their own definitions of the phrase, “hooking up” because unfortunately the connotations are nothing close to being universal.

My fellow food-critic picked the beef in curry sauce off the Chinese side of the menu, which also includes various soups, lo mein, mei fun, fried rice and an enormous list of typical American-Chinese dishes such as General Tso’s chicken, Szechaun shrimp and beef with black pepper sauce. When the food came out steaming in styrofoam bowls our stomachs gave jumps of joy to sight of the generous portion sizes, as well as the alluring smells. Unfortunately, this is where our proliferating bubble received its killing arrow. As is custom with the classic eater, we both dug in to our meals with one thing in mind: the meat. The best word to describe my chicken was slimy. (And not in the same satisfying way Simba enjoyed after tasting his first slug.) I looked up to discover a similar face of displeasure in my friends face. I cannot say if Tanoshii partakes in a special tenderizing method, or if my knowledge of Japanese chicken is ignorant, but I do know that neither chicken or steak should literally disintegrate in your mouth leaving behind a fatty residue. The poor situation may have been saved with a swig of beer, wine or Saki, but Tanoshii does not serve alcohol so water was the beverage of choice to wash away the after texture of our first and last bites of the meat.

In conclusion, if you find yourself starving and in dire need of a cheap soup or some steamed rice and veggies, Tanoshii has a great selection of starches and greens to satisfy your hunger. Other than that, I can think of no reason, to make the drive out to dine there other than the option to take out or the inexpensive price.
