Debate team wins back-‐to-‐back titles Wake Forest’s debate team recently won their second ACC title in two years. BY JULIA HAINES News Editor hainjm15@wfu.edu Junior Jack Manchester and freshman Adam Tomasi represented the Wake Forest Debate Team at the ACC Debate Championship at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on April 15-17, earning the university its second championship in a row. They were undefeated in competition this year. This win follows a win by debaters junior Corrine Sugino and sophomore Charles Athanasopoulos at a large debate tournament at the University of Texas. The Wake Forest Debate team is supervised by Jarrod Atchison, assistant professor in the department of communication. “What makes winning a debate competition so difficult is that every opponent presents unique challenges, and you must be prepared to debate up to 13 opponents in one weekend,” Atchison said. “Unlike basketball or football where you prepare for one opponent per event, college debate requires you to face eight different opponents in preliminary debates and then five different opponents on elimination day.” This year’s debate topic was “Resolved: That the United States should adopt substantially stricter gun control regulations, including a prohibition on carrying firearms at college and university campuses.” Manchester and Tomasi went the entire season undefeated and beat the University of Miami in the final round. Also representing the university were graduate students Sammi Rippetoe and Eli Smith, who last competed in the quarter finals in Washington, D.C. “[Debate] is one of the, if not the, most impressive academic achievements possible for an undergraduate to match wits with the best and brightest from across the nation for hours on end,” Atchison said.

House Bill 2, passed in late March, was met with outrage from by individuals, corporations and several artists who cancelled shows in the state in protest.

University hosts panel on HB2 Wake Forest professors and student activists spoke about the controversial bill BY HEATHER HARTEL ơ harthf15@wfu.edu At a panel discussing the recent legislation regarding transgender rights in North Carolina, eight speakers were posed the simple question, “Who agrees with House Bill 2?” The answer was an overwhelming silence, complimented with nervous looks around the room, and panel members awkwardly anticipating the silence to be broken. The cause of the tension is the recent law signed by Governor Pat McCrory, requiring

that all state entities provide single-sex bathrooms based on biological sex. This overides local governments’ existing legislation. Critics have deemed HB2 as one of the most discriminatory laws for the LGBTQ community to ever pass through a state legislature, while those in favor argue it keeps women safe from males in their bathroom. The discussion panel titled “Beyond Bathrooms” was made up of Wake Forest professors, student activists and faculty members who brought unique knowledge to discuss, speaking in opposition of HB2. Tanya Jachimiak, the first full-time Title IX coordinator for Wake Forest, was the second panelist to speak. Her knowledge focuses on the intersection between Title IX and HB2. “HB2 actually would not apply to Wake Forest regarding bathroom and discrimina-

tion provisions because we do not fall in the executive branch,” Jachimiak said. The law only directly applies to public institutions, which does not include Wake Forest, a private university. However, the negative implications of the law still reach the community in a very explicit way. Dani Benitez, a student activist and a speaker on the panel, is a member of the transgender community who sees the direct impact on the larger population beyond Wake Forest. “Of all the trans-youth in North Carolina, many of them are thinking about suicide just hearing that their bodies are wrong or are something to be disgusted about,” Benitez said. “Forty-one percent of transgender people attempt suicide [during their lifetime.]”

â€œ Graduates Â should Â look Â forward Â to Â speaker Â This column represents the views of the Old Gold & Black Editorial Board.

Last week, Wake Forest University officially announced that Eboo Patel, the CEO and founder of the Interfaith Youth Core (IFYC), would be the commencement speaker for the graduating class of 2016. Following a particularly memorable and humorous commencement address from the well-known talk show host, Stephen Colbert, many students across campus have expressed dissatisfaction with the choice of the speaker this year â€” mainly due to the delay it took for the administration to announce the speaker and his lack of name recognition. While some of us on the Editorial Board of the Old Gold & Black have expressed similar sentiments as these students and others have disagreed that the lack of name recognition should not play a role in the value of a commencement

The Â Editorial Â Board Â believes Â that Â the Â graduating Â class Â of Â 2016 Â should Â be Â excited Â to Â hear Â what Â Patel Â has Â to Â say.â€? speaker, we all can unanimously agree that his background is clearly relevant to many issues currently happening in the world. Islamophobia is an issue that is more present than ever, especially since recent terrorist attacks have been so frequently covered by media outlets. With the tie that many terrorists often make to radical Islamic ideology, it is vital to have discussion revolving around politicized issues associated with religion in a community where those who are graduating are the future decision makers.

cited to hear what Patel has to say. As graduates step out into a diversified world that is quickly becoming increasingly globalized, individual people, communities and countries have no choice but to continue to learn how to better coexist with one another. Thus, by inviting an individual like Patel to speak at commencement, Wake Forest demonstates its commitment to leaving its graduates with an indiviual who embodies our own motto of â€œPro Humanitate.â€? Whether or not Patel was the universityâ€™s first choice is beside the issue and students should nonetheless be open to his advice as graduates move forward from their Wake Forest experience. On May 9, as Patel delivers his address, we wish the graduating class of 2016 the best in its future endeavors.

In addition, immigration issues are at an all-time high. In particular, the refugee crisis has inflicted stress on the European Union, and many religious groups have grappled with whether or not a greater moral obligation exists to care for those in despeate need. In light of the popeâ€™s actions this week of traveling to a refugee camp and bringing back with him several refugees, it is evident that global issues and religious values are often intertwined. These too are conversations that the educated leaders of this graduating class will inevitably be exposed to and should actively engage in.

ÄžÄ‚Ä?Ĺ˝Ĺś WĆŒĹ˝ÄŽĹŻÄžÍ— ĹśĹś ĆľĹśĹśĹ?ĹśĹ?ĹšÄ‚Ĺľ BY Â LILY Â WALTER Staff Â Writer waltlm15@wfu.edu Ann Cunningham is a Wake Forest professor in the education department. She currently teaches first year seminars, as well as a design and technology course for education major and minors. She spent a few years in China working for Wake Forest on a program designed to help Chinese high school students looking to attend college in the United States.

What prompted your visit to China? I was asked to be the chief academic officer of the Wake Forest Advantage program. My job was to design a curriculum for Chinese high school students who were interested in coming to universities in the United States. What was your experience in China like? Incredible. It was a major growth opportunity for sure. All the way from changing my thinking about what weâ€™re doing to the planet to an admiration for the culture and what kids in China do to actually be successful. It was the whole shebang, and I just loved visiting the cultural spots as well as the people, who were extremely kind and graceful. Has that helped you better connect with international students from China? Yes, it does make a difference because they like to know that somebody understands and knows where they come from and what their lifestyle is like. On the other hand , I can also help faculty mem-

bers. Iâ€™ve been asked to speak to faculty members and advisers who would like to learn a little bit more about dispositions and issues associated with teaching international students. Iâ€™ve been involved, and I teach first year seminars, so Iâ€™m involved with international students in my classes. Tell me a little about the entrepreneurship program you were a part of that took you to China. What happened was the plan that we had didnâ€™t work out, so it has been modified into something else. But I left that program as soon as I was finished with what I was doing there and went back into the classroom because I love teaching so much. But if anything came out of it, it was everybody learned something about doing business in China. And itâ€™s not business as usual, thereâ€™s a lot more to it. Even if you can speak Mandarin, there are so many different cultural levels in terms of how they do business. Is there another entrepreneurship program like this one coming to Wake Forest any time soon? Iâ€™m not involved in it because Iâ€™m back in the education department. My understanding is that now the model is to do something different. Now, they will take a university professor over to mainland China to teach a class there. They are looking for a Wake Forest professor to go over and teach a freshmanlevel course to give students a Wake Forest credit on their transcript. There are so many agencies that are trying to help [Chinese] kids get over here, but theyâ€™re not doing it aboveboard. They are using strategies that are unethical and

itâ€™s very difficult, but thatâ€™s why it makes having a university come over there and lend them credibility to their application [valuable]. Were students involved in this program in any way? I took alumni and two of my undergrad uate students to teach at a summer academy I ran. So I got to hand-select who came with me from the department of education as well as two students that got to study abroad with me in New Zealand. One thing that makes a big difference is I prepare students to be in the classroom. One of the undergraduates I worked with applied for a job in Atlanta and got hired before she even graduated from Wake Forest. They were so impressed by her experiences in New Zealand and China. Itâ€™s a very big initiative in American education to be globalized. If you want to be highly desirable candidate, get some global experience. What do you think are the values of globalized education?

Itâ€™s critical. Youâ€™re going to be working in a globalized economy, and you need to understand theirs. Intercultural competence is valued highly anywhere. Lessons that we learned on our entrepreneurial venture were associated with not really getting the culture and business. So mak-

ing sure that you have spent time overseas and really engaged with the culture is very helpful. Iâ€™m promoting study abroad to my freshman classes. Anything you can do to engage with the local people, learn more and help them understand that weâ€™re not all that bad. What do you like the most about working for Wake Forest? Iâ€™ve been here since 1999, and I think what I like the most about Wake Forest is the ability to reinvent yourself in your work. I love working with bright young students and having opportunities to take advantage of opportunities like working in China. Thereâ€™s a lot of support from the current administration and the office of global programs is outstanding. Would you recommend education as a major at Wake Forest? Thatâ€™s a tough question because I really want to prepare a lot of teachers but at the same time, right now, especially in this state, itâ€™s not a good climate. But theyâ€™re in high demand, so if Wake Forest students are interested, you learn so much from teaching and about the diversity of our country. That being said, I think everyone should do it, you do change people and have an effect on young peopleâ€™s ways of thinking even though the society does not value it.

HB2: Many believe HB2 is discriminatory ͷ City councils in large cities such as Charlotte and Durham have already passed resolutions opposing the bill. Such methods begin the larger movement toward statewide rejection. Marianne Magiuka, another member of the panel, is the director of democratic engagement and justice for the Pro Humanitate Institute. Her work focuses on fulfilling civic duty and getting involved in the democratic process to truly incite change in the community. “I think more long term, it goes beyond just voting,” she said. “I was really disheartened to see that many of the representatives supporting HB2 are running unopposed. I think there’s a question that goes beyond voting that really requires people to run for office and support campaigns they believe in.” However, activist mobilization through voting is not the only solution posed when discussing opposition to HB2. “If there is a right at state, if people aren’t being treated the right way under a law, the court has ruled it’s not rational

to target this group,” said Katy Harriger, a professor in the department of politics and international affairs who specializes in constitutional law and democratic engagement. “The question is not whether the majority wants it, the question is if there is a constitutional right to support it.” The discussion on opposing HB2 centers around either enacting legal change or actively mobilizing and becoming involved. Students at Wake Forest share similar opinions opposing the bill. “I’m gay, first of all, and my opinion on HB2 before the panel was that it is absolutely horrendous,” said newly elected student body president, Jordan Monaghan. “I think there are a lot of elements of HB2 that go beyond the exclusively LGBTQ community that are important to know about.” The element he describes is the new statewide anti-discrimination policy based on “race, religion, color, origin, age, biological sex or handicap,” according to the law. This anti-discrimination policy explicitly excludes protections based on sexual orientation or gender identity. Another student, freshman Erica Jordan, embraces the idea of activist mobilization

as she went to the Winston-Salem city council to incite change. “I thought this was a good way to get more clarity on the bill,” Monaghan said. “In the media people focus on the bathroom aspect of it, but it can be applied to other people.” Although the entire panel and audience clearly opposed HB2 and no voices were heard in favor of the legislation, the panel

was still a space for discussion and activism. Richard Caban-Cubero, another student activist and an assistant in the LGBTQ center, found hope in the panel. “This conversation is fruitful because we are reminding everyone about the humanity of transgender people, because we want to protect each other and those people whose humanity is being directly attacked,” he said.

The man behind the bells revealed Wake Forest graduate Ray Ebert has been the musician behind ͸Ͷ BY EMILY EISERT Contributing Writer eiseea14@wfu.edu Every day at 5 p.m., Wait Chapel’s 48 bronze bells ring across campus, playing numerous tunes, including Tchaikovsky’s Waltz from Sleeping Beauty, “What a Wonderful World” and Pirates of the Caribbean’s “He’s a Pirate.” The bells can be heard from just about anywhere on campus. What most people do not know is that there is a man behind the bells — that man is Ray Ebert. Ebert, who graduated from Wake Forest in 1960, has been playing the bells, or the carillon, for over 20 years and the pipe organ for even longer. “I came here to be a math major,” Ebert said. “And then I saw the big pipe organ downstairs, and I spent the rest of my life playing it.” On top of playing the Chapel’s carillon, Ebert, who is semi-retired, works as an organist for local churches and accompanies dance classes for Wake Forest’s dance department and at the UNC School of the Arts. Ebert also gives carillon lessons to Wake Forest students. “We call ourselves the Carillon Club,” Ebert said. “There are about eight or so of us. When we come together, like on Love Feast, and we’re all taking turns playing. It’s a real bonding experience.” “Here,” Ebert said as he pointed to a picture of himself and four Wake Forest students taped to the wall, “we are playing what one student called a waterfall, where you play down the keyboard and then the next person starts and keeps going.”

heavily influenced by music traditions, began playing the piano when he was five years-old, but did not start playing for dance classes until much later in life. “One day, this person called and said, ‘The School of the Arts needs someone to play for dance classes,” Ebert said. “I was young and foolish. Have you ever heard someone who just started to play for ballet class and doesn’t know what to do? Well, it’s awkward. Now, I can. I have a lot of things in my memory, but I can also improvise, just making up the tune.” One of the classes Ebert plays for every week is Wake Forest’s advanced classical ballet class. The class is taught by Brantly Shapiro. “For one thing, ballet is a musical art, and the musicality element is huge in terms of getting proficient in ballet,” Shapiro said. “When you have live accompaniment, the big difference for the teacher is that you set the combinations and then someone accompanies it. And if you have a good musician, they come up with a Photo Courtesy of wfu.edu flavor of music that matches.

Volleyball: Hatch calls for investigation ͷ -ticed by the coach. These behaviors included repeated use of curse words and demeaning remarks directed towards players. Team members faced targeted beratement for actions ranging from playing poorly on the court to keeping unapproved foods like cookies on their person. Jachimiak also said she recommended Murczek take sexual harassment and anger management training. When asked by the OGB about the recommendation, the coach refused to comment, calling it a “personal matter.” Elizabeth Eilender, a professional litigator who specializes in athletic abuse, told the OGB that cases surrounding abusive coaches are common but frequently overlooked. “It’s a cancer on collegiate athletics,” she said. “Universities often do an investigation, but it can sometimes be a sham. Sometimes the coaches will interfere with the investigation under the guise of ‘protecting the players.’” In recorded phone conversations, parents had brought similar concerns to Jachimiak. When asked what additional action would be taken to address the behaviors outlined in the investigation, Jachimiak said the information

would be forwarded to Penny Rue, Provost Rogan Kersh and President Hatch. “I wanted to make sure that we brought in Human Resources, so that this doesn’t just go back to Athletics for them to just do what they want,” she said in the phone call. “There are a lot of eyes on Athletics right now to address this problem. This is not something that is being taken lightly.” In a statement, President Hatch told the OGB: “Complaints made by volleyball players and parents in 2014 were immediately investigated. In early 2015, a decision was made that the Athletics Department develop a plan, which it shared with players and parents, to address concerns.” But players said that little was accomplished following the investigation. “The administration basically just said that they would help him [Murczek] change, but it was all crap,” said one former player who declined to go on the record for personal reasons. “He tried to change but then just stopped coaching us because he was holding himself back from lashing out. He would literally say nothing for games at a time because he was afraid to lash out.” In his statement, President Hatch did not address why he refused to meet with parents of the team about the investigation last year after repeated requests.

Players also shared with the OGB physical copies of a packet that the athletic department handed out while HBO investigated complaints of abuse on the team in 2014. The packet included an article from 2002 describing a man who posed as a journalist to physically assault and rape female athletes. Team members say the article was distributed to discourage them from speaking to the media. “I didn’t think much of it at the time,” said one former player who requested anonymity. “It wasn’t until my parents started asking questions that I realized how big of a deal it was.” Since last week’s issue of the OGB, the investigation has sparked a strong response from students, faculty and alumni. “Every member of our community deserves to be treated with respect and dignity,” Student Body President Adam Hammer told the OGB. “If abuse is, indeed, occurring, it is imperative that swift action is taken to identify and remove any individuals contributing to the harm, regardless of their position within the university.” In light of President Hatch’s call for another internal investigation into the volleyball team, players and parents expressed their skepticism. Some called for the hiring of an independent organization to look into the team. “An internal investigation will be pointless,”

said one parent of a senior player, who requested to remain anonymous to protect his daughter’s identity. “We’ll end up in the same place as before.”

Group of students to form a police task force WFUPD is creating a student patrol program allowing students to team up with the BY CHRIS CASWELL News Editor caswck14@wfu.edu The Wake Forest University Police Department (WFUPD) aims to make campus a little safer with a new initiative they are creating: the Deacon Student Patrol. “What it’s there for is to help students get a better understanding of what it’s like to be working for the police department,” said Derri Stormer, major of patrol services for WFUPD. “In addition to that, they will assist us in being extra eyes and ears for us. If they see something that we might need to be alerted to, they can call it in, because they’ll have radios that will be the same radios the officers carry.” According to Stormer, the students that participate in the program will also be able

to help WFUPD with basic duties such as locking up buildings. The program is still in the planning phase, so many details have not yet been decided, but students on the Deacon Student Patrol will undergo training similar in many ways that police officers with WFUPD must go through. “They’ll have different bias training just like officers do,” Stormer said. “One of the things we definitely need students to understand is that officers are held to a higher standard than the average person. The same thing would apply to them.” Stormer said that she hopes the program may spark an interest in the criminal justice system, but they are looking for students of all majors, not just those planning on pursuing a career as a police officer. “We’re open to all majors,” Stormer said. “I think with law enforcement anyone can do it. We’re not going to specifically target one group. We want all students to be involved, anyone that has any interest.” Stormer came from East Carolina Univer-

sity where a student patrol is already developed. She said that her experience there helped make the idea a reality. “I came from an institution where it was already developed,” Stormer said. “I think the university was already interested in it, but it just hadn’t come to fruition yet.” Stormer said that she thinks the program will be a good way for students to interact

with the police, and it will be a good addition to their résumés. “I think it will be a good reference for them,” Stormer said. “One of the things I noted from my previous institution with students there is that it doesn’t hurt to have that reference on your résumé to say ‘hey, I worked for a police department.’ It’s usually viewed very positively, because of the background you’ll have to go through to work here.”

However, reclaiming New York positions Clinton back in her role as the Democratic Party favorite. Trump’s victory in his home state with John Kasich coming in second threatens Ted Cruz’ future as the Republican Party nominee.

Originally intended to replace Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill, Harriet Tubman will instead take Andrew Jackson’s place on the $20 bill by by 2020. Tubman is significantly the first woman to be featured on an American bill.This is part of a movement by the Treasury Department to place significant historical figures on new bills over time. Other women’s suffrage leaders will make their way to the $10 bill. Keeping Hamilton on the $20 bill resulted from waves of controversy, as he helped create the Treasury Department, while Jackson led Native American genocide.

Three government employees in Michigan are being charged over lead contaminatin in Flint’s water. Two of those being prosescuted are Michigan state officials who are accused of misleading the Environmental Protection Agency about the unnatural levels of lead in the water and how the city was solving the problem. These are only the first of many charges to come later, according to the state attorney general, Bill Schuette. Blame is placed on state officials as they switched from buying water from the city of Detriot and instead getting it from the highly contaminated Flint river.

Alumnus, Â cofounder Â of Â CollegeHumor, Â speaks Alumnus Â and Â cofounder Â of Â CollegeHumor Â Ricky Â Van Â Veen Â will Â be Â receiving Â the Â â€œExcellence Â in Â Entrepreneurshipâ€? Â award BY Â JULIA Â HAINES Â News Â Editor hainjm15@wfu.edu Ricky Van Veen, co-founder of popular comedy website CollegeHumor and of video sharing site Vimeo, will be receiving Wake Forest Universityâ€™s â€œExcellence in Entrepreneurshipâ€? award due to his success as an alumni of the graduating class of 2003. Additionally, university Provost Rogan Kersh will host an on-stage discussion with Van Veen about entrepreneurship in Farrell Hall at 5:30 p.m. on April 21. Van Veen created CollegeHumor during his freshman year at Wake Forest and is looking forward to returning and to seeing the universityâ€™s advancements in support for entrepreneurial students. In 2005, two years after Van Veen graduated, the Innovation, Creativity & Entrepreneurship program was launched and has since grown to include major and minor opportunities. â€œIâ€™m looking forward to hearing about all the progress that Wake [Forest] has made in entrepreneurship and connecting with entrepreneurs that are there now,â€? Van Veen said. â€œI loved the experiences that I had there â€” that werenâ€™t necessarily part of any curriculum â€” and the different people I met there from different backgrounds. Wake [Forest] gave me the freedom to follow opportunities on my own.â€? Today, 13 years since the CollegeHumor brand took off in 1999 from Van Veenâ€™s dorm room, the site averages seven million unique visitors each month, according to data taken from technology company Quantcast. â€œI really didnâ€™t expect CollegeHumor to take off and be where it is today. When we started it, we wanted to build a business â€” but we thought it would just be a small, fun thing to do, something for beer money,â€? Van

Veen said. â€œIt wasnâ€™t until the end of our junior year when we realized that it was something we could live off of. During my senior year, my parter and I really stepped on the gas and decided that itâ€™s what we wanted to do. We were willing to live off of Ramen Noodles and cable T.V., thatâ€™s all we needed.â€? Van Veen noted the differences in entrepreneurial culture today versus a decade ago, commenting on the prevalence of T.V. show â€œSharktank,â€? which allows individuals to pitch business ideas to investors, as well as the â€œclicheâ€? nature of starting a business from a dorm room. â€œWhen starting CollegeHumor, I think that we were lucky to have the cushion of being students and being on a meal plan and not having to pay mortgages. I think that college is the best safety net for an entrepreneur that you could imagine,â€? Van Veen said. â€œMost college students donâ€™t have the same burdens that a 35 year old living in a city would.â€? While studying at Wake Forest, Van Veen took photographs for the university yearbook, The Howler, as well as for the Old Gold & Black. â€œI still have memories of taking photos on the floor of the ACC tournament,â€? Van Veen said. â€œI think that Wake Forest is the perfect size in that itâ€™s big enough to provide those opportunities â€” such as having a world class basketball team â€” but at the same time small enough so that there arenâ€™t always 20 people in line in front of you waiting to take those opportunities.

The Commencement ceremony will take place on Monday, May 16 at 9 a.m. on Hearn Plaza. As the founder and president of Interfaith Youth Core, Patel has sparked conversation surrounding interfaith cooperation and using religion as a bridge to community and cooperation. According to the Interfaith Youth Core website, Patel was inspired to build this bridge based on the intersection of his faith as a Muslim, his Indian heritage and his American citizenship. Patel is the author of two books, â€œActs of Faithâ€? and â€œSacred Ground,â€? and received his doctorate in the sociology of religion from Oxford University, where he studied as a R hodes Scholar. He has served as a member of President Barack Obamaâ€™s inaugural Faith-Based advisory council, which made recommendations to the president and his administration on policies and programs in the field of religion. He also served on the Department of Homeland Securityâ€™s Faith-based Advisory Council.

cooperation is so great, I am pleased he will be Wake Forestâ€™s commencement speaker.â€? This is not the first time Patel has visited Wake Forest. He previously spoke at Wake Forest in 2012 as part of the â€œVoices of Our Timeâ€? series. However, some students have said they are unfamiliar with Patel, expressing dissatisfaction with the administrationâ€™s choice. â€œIâ€™m excited to hear what he has to say, but I think I speak for myself and a lot of my friends when I say we are a little disappointed â€“especially given it took the administration so long to reveal,â€? said senior Alyssa Norton. Senior Micah James echoed Nortonâ€™s lack of knowledge about Patel and his work, but said he thinks this will be a good opportunity to create discussion on campus surrounding interfaith relationships. â€œI didnâ€™t know too much about Patel,â€? James said. â€œNot a lot of people are talking about interfaith relationship, and I think his presence will be an important thing for a predominantly Christian campus.â€?

Neuroscience Â book Â club Â speaks Â to Â author The Â group Â discussed Â Parkinsonâ€™s Â research Â with Â the Â author Â and Â a Â patient BY Â CHRISTIAN Â GREEN Â Contributing Â Writer greencm15@wfu.edu This semester the Wake Forest Neuroscience Book Club, led by associate professor of dance Christina Soriano and Wayne Silver of the biology department, read the book â€œBrain Storms: The Race to Unlock the Mysteries of Parkinsonâ€™s Diseaseâ€? by Jon Palfreman. The book club was comprised of students, faculty and a number of Parkinsonâ€™s patients who take part in improvisational dance workshops with professor Soriano. The book was written by Palfreman who himself was diagnosed with Parkinsonâ€™s a little over four years ago. Thus, this book has the interesting dynamic of being â€œpart scientific investigation, part medical detective story and part memoir,â€? as Palfreman not only recounts the medical history of the disease, but also details his new life as a Parkinsonâ€™s patient and the lives of many of his fellow â€œParkies.â€? This book has received recognition for its balance of hard science combined with easy-to-understand explanations and looks into how people today are living with the disease. â€œThis is a book that is interesting both for a neuroscientist as well as someone who was diagnosed last

week or is just curious about the disease,â€? Palfreman said. On April 10, the book club joined together to Skype with both the author and Pamela Quinn, a Parkinsonâ€™s patient for over 20 years as well as a professionally trained dancer who is mentioned in the book. During the meeting, members were able to ask Palfreman and Quinn questions about the process of writing the book, living with Parkinsonâ€™s and what the world needs to know as it continues to move forward with research toward a cure. Many of Palfreman and Quinnâ€™s biggest concerns were about the current state of todayâ€™s healthcare and pharmaceutical industries in general. They argued that since the invention of Carbidopa Levodopa, a drug which boosts dopamine levels and usually lessens Parkinsonâ€™s patientsâ€™ tremors, in the 1970s there has not been a large-scale successful breakthrough in treatment of the disease. Palfreman said that he has seen â€œa dramatic lack of inventiveness in the pharmaceutical industry.â€? Since they developed a profitable drug which betters patientsâ€™ lives, they have not had the motivation to risk money in developing more revolutionary treatments which may just end up losing them money. Palfreman also said that â€œthe process of the biomedical research industry is very slow.â€? He cited ideas from 1997 that are just now entering Phase I testing meaning it will still likely be some years before the

common public hears about them, if ever. Part of the issue, Quinn believes, is a lack of pressure on the industry. â€œWe [Parkinsonâ€™s patients] are not always a very demanding group,â€? Quinn said. As long as patients are not demanding new treatments and procedures, she argues, then the companies have even less incentive to hand them out. While high-end research is expensive and tough to easily facilitate, Quinn wants more voices to be heard calling for changes that can and should be made regarding current treatment of the disease. She calls for â€œa need to modernize the medical fieldâ€? with the resources already available. This includes better training for doctors to deal with patientsâ€™ needs. Currently, an average patient with Parkinsonâ€™s only sees their doctor once every six months for a routine examination. At these examinations, many of the patients in the book club said that his/her doctor simply ran through a checklist of symptoms to check for, possibly upped the prescribed dosage of Carbidopa Levodopa, and sent them on their way. But Palfreman and Quinn said that they believe there is so much more to this disease than a biannual checkup. â€œWe take this disease home with us,â€? Palfreman said. â€œEach patient is unique. Our archaic medical industry wants to treat patients like numbers when in reality, there is more need than ever for personalized treatments, especially for neural diseases such as Parkinsonâ€™s.â€?

Supreme Court “Justice appointment should remain for life Tried and Drew | Court System

Limiting the Supreme Court Ƥ of time would hurt the system Drew Finley

^ƚĂī ŽůƵŵŶŝƐƚ ĮŶůĂŐϭϱΛǁĨƵ͘ĞĚƵ

Ever since Justice Antonin Scalia’s death, there has been a maelstrom of criticism directed at the appointment process for our nation’s highest court. The argument principally revolves around the idea that basically every time there is a vacancy on the Supreme Court, a contentious and ugly fight filled with partisan politicking, ad hominem attacks and character assassinations ensues for who will fill the void. Given all of this acrimony, a growing number of law professors, scholars and policymakers have begun to advocate for a reform of the process that would ameliorate some of the flaws associated with the current method and move us more in the direction of term limits for Justices similar

Imposing term limits on the Su-‐ preme Court would still not solve the problem, and would likely create its own entirely new set of issues.” to the kind that exist on most state high courts. If we were to enact these changes, so the argument goes, we would drastically reduce the level of animosity and conflict that surrounds the judicial appointments, while at the same time enhancing our democracy by diminishing the power of unelected elites who rule indefinitely. Ostensibly this proposal seems like a noble effort to enhance our democratic system and depoliticize our extremely polarized Supreme Court, but it’s worth spelling out why a solution like this one is inherently flawed and how it would almost certainly make matters worse. When Alexander Hamilton spoke about the judiciary in Federalist No. 78, he was almost excruciatingly lucid when it came to whether or not Justices should be appointed for life. Not only did Hamilton profess that the measure would be advisable, he asserted that it was an “indispensable ingredient”

to the Constitution and regarded it as “the citadel of the public justice and the public security.” For all of our wondering about what the Founders really wanted for our government, we can surely deduce from Hamilton’s language that lifetime appointment of Supreme Court Justices was one decision that was of little doubt. From a historical perspective, then, it is clear that term limits would not be prudent. However, no one can deny that the judiciary has unquestionably changed a lot since 1789. But even if we were to set aside what the Founders thought about lifetime appointment, imposing term limits on the Supreme Court would still not solve the problem, and would likely create its own entirely new set of issues. Contrary to popular belief, the Founders did not create the appointment process for the Supreme Court with the same intentions that they had in developing the Electoral College. While it seems counter-intuitive, lifetime tenure was actually meant to insulate judges from outside pressures that would make the Court less democratic. One of the most powerful pressures that all public servants must deal with is their

desire to advance to another political office, or even a position in business. As Melissa Murray, a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley argues, “term-limited justices might aspire to other political offices, or positions in business, and these post-term aspirations might shape their judicial decision-making on the court.” As Murray illustrates, judges would likely become even more political than they already are, and the entire legal system would suffer because of it. Furthermore, the mere knowledge that their time on the Supreme Court is limited would likely cause judges to behave differently. If the Supreme Court were to have regularized vacancies every two years — as the leading notion of reform calls for — judges wishing to put forth a certain doctrine or reverse a particular precedent would make uncharacteristically sweeping decisions due to their worry of the constantly changing composition of the Supreme Court. For all its problems and imperfections, the Founders designed lifetime tenure of Supreme Court Justices to be as democratic as possible, and while the appointment process is certainly far from ideal, it is all we really have.

Just a G(rad)y Point of View | Censorship

“ language is useful but not always best Censoring offensive ơ language is necessary nor useful within television and books Ryan Grady

Guest Columnist gradr15@wfu.edu

There is a lot of debate regarding whether curse words are necessary and appropriate to be used. This is not in reference to swearing in places like the classroom or the workplace, but in everyday conversations, on television and in books. One notable figure to stand up against censorship is comedian George Carlin, who criticized it by discussing and listing the terms unacceptable for television in his bit “The Seven Dirty Words You Can’t Say on Television.” Those in favor of keeping our language clean have pulled books, such as The Catcher in the Rye, from classrooms, and enforced regulations on a variety of media. In order to make an educated deci-

Our freedom of expres-‐ sion i s l imited a nytime w e are told that something can’t b e s aid.” sion on the matter, we need to take a look at the benefits and repercussions of monitoring what we can and cannot say. The pros of restricting the use of some of the dirty words are fairly clear. Words that represent years of cultural appropriation are simply offensive and condescending to those who are a part of that culture. Eliminating them from our vernacular can lead to people viewing each other as more equal, as terms that refer to others as inferior due to inherent characteristics reinforce the view that some are actually superior to others. For other expressions, it is a little less clear as to why they are inappropriate. No one can reasonably question the offensiveness of the “F-word,” for example, but why is it offensive? As far as I know it doesn’t mean any one thing in particular, and it doesn’t marginalize any groups. Our society has just decided that this term is not suitable for all

situations. It is certainly a powerful word, but it does not exert this power over anyone. So, why should we not censor language? Many like to point to Orwell’s “1985” and the dark, dystopian society that a heavily regulated media brings. Personally, this seems like a stretch, since in the novel ideas are being changed, not words. With this being said, there is still a point here. Our freedom of expression is limited anytime we are told that something can’t be said. Another Orwellian type issue is changing the past. Years ago people tended to be much more racist and had no issue speaking their minds. This can be seen in older movies and books about the past, where people use language that today appears horrifying. By pulling films from shelves or rewriting novels, we alter the perception of history. We can also take the punch out of many stories, as swearing often carries strong connotations. So for the sake of preserving the past and effectiveness of stories, some vulgar language should be left intact. With all the pros and cons it is difficult to say what specific terms should be cen-

sored, so I hope to present an idea that takes into account both sides. First, words that are offensive to specific ethnicities should be deemed unacceptable for live television or situations where people speak openly. Books written in the past, about the past or recall real events should be allowed to use the language. Are people going to be offended when they see the expressions? Yes. Should they? Yes. People in the past were racist and some people today still are. The passionate rejection of these ideas should serve as a reminder of the inequality that existed and drive us to improve society. As long as the words aren’t used with the intent to put down others rather than set a scene or share a historical event, I believe they can be used after careful thought. What about the other words? I don’t think the “S-word” and things like it require strict restrictions to be placed on them. They come with a connotation that other phrases just don’t have. However, many other words carry the same meaning. If it is necessary to get the emotion out of a message, swearing is okay. If you can just use a tamer synonym, you should.

Resilience is “reflected on community support The teen years have always marked a period of growth, even for previous generations Margaret Langford Guest Columnist ůĂŶŐŵĞϭϱΛǁĨƵ͘ĞĚƵ

Two weeks ago, an article by Old Gold & Black News Editor Julia Haines captured my attention about the topic of resilience. Titled “Concerns Grow Over Student Resilience,” the piece included references to recent nation-wide events and faculty quotes that proved the point: college kids are not as tough as they used to be. From perceived grade deflation to a lack of ideological openness, students attending Wake Forest and other top universities in the country seem to be particularly needy and stubborn. But are they? After contemplating my own typical experience of freshman disappointments — occasionally falling behind the aca-

The quality of our individual thoughts, speech, and decisions must be exam-‐ ined in order to improve the emo-‐ tional climate on campus [...]” demic treadmill and rejection from a selective student organization — I had to do my own research. So, I called my grandmothers. After speaking with both wonderfully wise women, it turns out that resilience is not as simple as I thought, and it doesn’t seem to grow or fade with time and cultural influence. Rather, some correlating factors have made it appear that mass resilience is at an all-time low. Empathy, psychology and community influence are the main contributors that I have found that alter our perception of resilience levels. “Today’s teens may be too self-centered,” my grandmother Margaret Langford said. “I do believe most parents are helicopter parents ... trying to know everything about their children, checking on them, not letting them fall down occasionally.” For Langford, or “Maymi” to the grandkids, the material and technological abundance in which her grandchildren are being raised differs from

that of her own upbringing: a humble one in the aftermath of the Great Depression and World War II. While her circumstances were obviously different than now, when it comes down to the facts, her teenage years involved the same issues that most Wake Forest students deal with: “being rejected by boyfriends or girlfriends, not getting on a team or not being invited to belong to a club and not getting into college.” Ultimately, her observation was profound. “I think we [all] need to be more tolerant and sympathetic toward others,” she concluded. Remembering the importance of empathy is a hard thing for all generations, not only teens. Thus, as young adults, we should be less critical toward ourselves when it comes to resilience — part of it is empathy, something that happens through experience. For most students here, we don’t have a lot of that yet. Secondly, the psychological research about young adult brains further suggests that we don’t have perfect self and social perception at this age, compared to later in life. Puberty often lingers into our first few college years, bringing with it cognitive characteristics such as egocentrism and the phenomena known

as “imaginary audience.” In other words, we think for ourselves and only ourselves. Living in a culture in which we as young adults expect “instant gratification instead of taking the time to work for something,” as my Grandmother Barbara Williamson said, can further amplify our (hopefully) fading pubescent mentalities. Finally, let’s consider Cam Newton. Singlehandedly, he wrecked the morale of his team by running out of the Super Bowl press conference after the Panthers’ Super Bowl defeat. As the quarterback, Newton spoke and fled on behalf of his team, thereby demoralizing the other Panthers players. His lack of resilience reflected the fact that the attitude of a group, from a team to a class, depends heavily on the encouragement of leaders and other community members. While we at Wake Forest do not hold the reputation of a favored Super Bowl team on our shoulders, we each play a massive role in our community to affect the resilience of one another. The quality of our individual thoughts, speech and decisions must be examined in order to improve the emotional climate on campus, starting with the belief that we are in fact resilient. There. Don’t you feel more resilient?

Building new sports and event Ƥ smaller and less-‐developed cities Lizzie Snyder

Guest Columnist ƐŶǇĚĞŵϭϱΛǁĨƵ͘ĞĚƵ

We’ve all heard the argument that professional sports stadiums suck up funds that could be used for other provisions, and they should not receive government subsidies. Speaking from a completely economic standpoint, this is probably true. The belief that economic impact creates wealth for a city is false. The job-creation argument associated with financing these constructions is relatively irrelevant compared to the costs. Actually, the debt situation in some cities can actually be significantly worse if a city decides to construct a new stadium or heavily renovates an existing one. However, professional sports stadiums do have the potential to give small to medium-sized media markets the edge to become “big-time cities.” Economists and private contractors agree that the construction of professional sports stadiums are an economic burden on its home city. However, the groups that often perform these analyses have a preconceived notion that all revenue generated by these stadiums ends up as part of a team’s salary cap or as general funds for the team — not its home city.

Without a stadium, there would be no team. Without a team, there would be no fans. Without fans, there would be [...] less commerce.” Rob Hunden, owner and analyst for Hunden Partners, a real estate development advisory practice in Indianapolis, notes that these groups are often “self serving” and “often inflate the spending impacts” using nonconclusive multipliers. The key here is that professional sports do not operate within a market-based system. The four major professional leagues, the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL act as monopolies untouched by any direct competition. The demand curve among professional sports fans is inelastic because there is no true substitute for the sights, smells and sounds of a professional sporting event for loyal fans. Inherently, the system is not cut and dry because television providers and the salary cap play a large role in the distribution of funds. However, if a cost-benefit analysis to build a new stadium is done, it must take into account the unique complexities of this market. Professional stadiums may come with a hefty price tag, but they have the potential to give small to medium media markets a place on the map. To be honest, I learned a lot about United States geography by watching professional basketball with my dad and studying where some of the more obscure teams were located. The truth is, most people would enjoy living in a “big league city.” In New York, for example, the economic and social impact of building a stadium would be significantly

less because it is one of the biggest media markets in the world. Most of the time, tourists visit New York to explore the city and go see a professional game on the side. In some ways, the Yankees, Giants, Jets and Mets games are just like any other revenuegenerating entertainment option for people to enjoy such as Broadway or the bar scene at night. Indianapolis, on the other hand, a medium-sized media market based on its population of 900,000, is known for being walkable, clean and boasts of its “Hoosier Hospitality.” Not only does it host the world famous Indianapolis 500 and Brickyard 400 in Speedway, Indiana, as well as two major professional sports teams, but in the last 10 years, the city has hosted two NCAA men’s and women’s Final Four tournaments, a Super Bowl, the NFL Combine and several Big Ten men’s and women’s basketball tournaments. In the case for small to medium-sized media markets across the country like Indianapolis, hosting Big Four teams draw crowds to the city that would not otherwise be there. In the 21st century, fans are able to access scores, stats, fantasy games and live streaming on multiple devices, causing a spike in fan engagement. Fan bases for specific teams are now wider and deeper than ever before. From a local standpoint, when teams are winning, people like to have something to root for. When teams are losing, people like to have something to complain about. Leading up to and following their Super Bowl victory led by the five-time NFL MVP winner, Peyton Manning, the Colts game was a hot ticket and brought many visitors to Indianapolis. People were out and about in a city that rarely has that kind of excitement. This chain reaction can be viewed as a series of causes and effects. Without a stadium,

there would be no team. Without a team, there would be no fans. Without fans, there would be significantly less commerce in the city as a result of professional sporting events. The construction of major sports stadiums often results in the development of convention centers and hotels to host other nonsports related events, as well. For example, Indianapolis often hosts the National Catholic Youth Conference and Gen Con Convention because the facilities are easy to navigate. However, the competition between cities to construct state-of-the-art arenas is at an all time high. The professional facilities, “arms race” is a real thing. Fans are attracted to club seating, luxury boxes, high definition jumbotrons and season-ticket packages. In order to keep pleasing them, city planners feel as if they need to compete to create the ultimate sporting event experience. A stadium has a useful economic life of around 30 years. However, stadiums are given facelifts and updated for television around every 15 years. Perhaps many cities would be in reduced economic trouble if they renovated on a less frequent basis. As a native of Indianapolis, I wholeheartedly believe the Colts and Pacers play an important role in instilling a sense of unity throughout the state of Indiana and give Indianapolis a “big-time city feel.” Both Bankers’ Life Fieldhouse and Lucas Oil Stadium are considered nice facilities, attracting a wide range of events to the area. Numbers aside, professional stadiums have the potential to put a smaller city on the map. For larger markets, however, these facilities blend into the larger entertainment sphere of a city.

“ could provide economic benefits Medical marijuana Medical marijuana is not only a good remedy for the sick, but it Ƥ ,ĂůĞǇ ĞŶǌ

Guest Columnist benzhc15@wfu.edu

The United States in 2016 is far from the country that it was in the 1960s, where hallucinogenic drugs labeled generations of people as addicts and hippies. Today, laws legalizing the trade of medical marijuana have presented legitimate and relevant arguments as to why it should be decriminalized and in some cases encouraged. While states like Colorado and California have paved the way for the beginning of a more natural way to treat a variety of medical conditions such as glaucoma, cancers and epilepsy, the stigma still attached to medical marijuana has left many states denying patients access to life-altering methods of treatment. Beyond the medical advantage, from an economic standpoint, allowing patients to access medical marijuana would discourage black market activity, generate additional tax revenue for states and assist the invisible hand of economics across the country. By legalizing the trade of marijuana on the market, government

The human, governmental and commu-‐ Ǧ Ƥ of medical marijuana make it a legiti-‐ mate option for medicine in the future.” regulation could make the product safer and much more accessible. Black markets function by taking an illicit good and selling it for a high price by artificially lowering the supply. Since there is no government involvement in black market trades, there is a high risk of violence or exploitation when enforcing contracts and settling disputes. Black markets generate an environment of uncertainty that is perpetuated by an unregulated product sold by uninsured retailers. Because medical marijuana could provide improvements in the conditions of many people, it is unfair to put them in a position that could be hazardous. On the federal side, the revenue that the government would receive from taxes on medical marijuana incentivizes its legalization throughout the country. For people who need serious medical attention, the demand for medicine would be very inelastic. This means that there are few substitutes for the good, so consumers are less deterred by a high price. Inelastic demand bears high tax burden on consumers, resulting in a significant percentage of the price of the total cost of the product going to the government

as tax revenue and a lower net price going to the individual retailers. Because black market trade is illegal, the government loses money with efforts to stop the trade, whereas if the exchange of medical marijuana was made legal, they would profit. Similarly, Adam Smith’s Invisible Hand theory deals with the unintended social consequences of a particular change. In this case, the introduction of legal medical marijuana dispensaries would promote business in a given community. Individuals, specifically dispensary owners, would be more apt to put money into the local economy through the construction of storefronts, signage, etc. This would create jobs while adding a new service to an area and also create competition in a monopolistically com-

petitive industry. With the authorization of medical marijuana in communities, local economies would see an overall boost. Stigmas are being broken every day in the United States as we begin to understand how many of our policies are outdated and even uninformed. As a remedy, marijuana can provide a natural alternative to pain treatment without the “high,” especially with new technology developed to isolate the paintreating tendencies of the herb. The human, governmental and community-based benefits to the legalization of medical marijuana make it a legitimate option for medicine in the future. It is now up to individual states to begin to follow the lead of those progressive enough to step out of the preconceived haze surrounding natural medicine.

Within this new age of terrorism, secularism in France and Brus-‐ sels does not equate to terrorism YƵĞŶƟŶ WƌƵǀŽƚ

Guest Columnist pruvqr15@wfu.edu On March 22, 2016, Brussels suffered its worst terrorist attack in its history. This mass killing was perpetrated by people calling themselves jihadists, those who fight for the supremacy of Islam over the rest of the world. Most of them, even though they trained in Syria, were born in Europe. How can European citizens reject their own countries so much that they kill their own fellow citizens? In the attempt to find a culprit, throughout the political debates, some started to question the very roots of the approach each country has in dealing with religion. Two main arguments emerged throughout the debates: a liberal argu-

In France, [French secularism] is viewed as a legitimate con-‐ straint, and even if unpleasant, a constraint for the greater good.” ment and a secular argument. In the liberal model, when an individual feels the need to express his or her particularism within public space (professional space, streets, social activities space, school, etc.), society should adapt itself to his or her needs. Therefore, society should promote the existence of communities. On the other hand, the secular model states that individual particularism should stay in the private sphere. It should not interfere in the public space to prevent discrimination or proselytism in an attempt to promote social mix instead of the social compartments that are within communities. However, is one model provoking more terrorism than the other? Three days after the Brussels attack, two American scholars, William McCants and Christopher Meserole, published an article on Brookings’ website called “The French connection: Explaining Sunni Militancy Around the World.”

In this article, they created a link between the recent terrorist attacks in French-speaking countries (France, Tunisia and Belgium) and what they call “French political culture.” Under this quite obscure expression, the accused of being responsible for the rise of Islamic radicalism is what I call the secular model. Nevertheless, it was not the first time that this model was criticized. In 2004, a vigorous polemic started when a law was passed which banned the Muslim veil, or hijab, from all schools before University (including high school). The criticism came back when a new law forbidding niqabs and hijabs in public spaces was passed in 2011. From the liberal perspective, the French secularism is viewed as a threat to freedom. But in France, it is viewed as a legitimate constraint and even if unpleasant, a constraint for the greater good. French secularism finds its roots in the Age of Enlightenment, and its first legal form appeared in 1905 with the Law on the Separation of the Churches and the State. Consequently, since “Churches” is plural, secularism is not focusing on Islam.

Jewish Kippah or large Christian crosses are also banned from schools in the names of equality and universality. Moreover, the 2004 law differentiates “ostentatious” religious symbols from “discrete” ones. In other words, anyone can keep a religious symbol with themselves as long as it is not too visible. In the end, the main issue for France and Belgium is that large isolated Muslim communities appeared over the past decades, while their ideological model is trying to promote social mix. Those communities are accumulating social status, religion and geographical location — neighborhoods with Muslim majorities are, on average, poorer than the others — which foster the anger of their members and their hatred for the State. The combination of those social factors with the degree of involvement in the fight against Islamic radicalism — France has been massively involved in the war against Islamic terrorism over the past six years — could be at the center of the debate about the roots of Muslim radicalization in France and Belgium. However, secularism does not provoke terrorism.

In Â a Â move Â that Â had Â been Â long Â been Â considered, Â the Â NBA Â finally Â approved Â advertisements Â on Â player Â jerseys. Â Jerseys Â on Â ads Â have Â long Â been Â a Â staple Â of Â soccer Â uniforms, Â but Â will Â grace Â the Â front Â of Â a Â big-Ââ€?four Â American Â sport Â for Â the Â first Â time. Â Reactions Â of Â fans, Â players Â and Â commentators Â have Â been Â mixed.

In the 2017-2018 season, the advertisements will be featured on the top left portion in a 2.5 inch by 2.5 inch box frame. This decision was reached last Friday, April 15, and many are referring to it as the day that the NBA sold out. Many fans have argued that it ruins the teams reputation

and takes away from the logo on the front of the jersey. Some players have even argued that they have worked for the right to earn their name on the back of their jersey and it is not right to place a company logo on top of a team logo that they have worked so hard for. Interestingly enough this new deal, which is only a trial run, will start in two seasons and will generate nearly $100 million in revenue for the league. Half of the revenue will go straight to the league, while the other half will go to the teams and the players. As this trend continues to grow in the United States within the minor leagues and in the MLS, the NBA is the first of the four major U.S. sports to put advertisements on game-day jerseys. There are a lot of pros and cons to this decision, some more evident than others. The pros are simple: with millions of revenue growth for the NBA, the decision was almost a no-brainer. For the companies that are using these jersey spots, it is an easy way to connect with current customers and entice potential customers that are watching the games,

but not necessarily the advertisements. While there is concern that the advertisements will diminish the team name, commissioner Silver points out that the logos will be barely noticeable in the top left portion of the jersey in such a small frame. The team name, logo and colors will still occupy a majority of the jersey unlike the large brands that dominate the chest portion of many international soccer jerseys. As a compromise, the jerseys that are sold in retail shops to fans will not include company logos or brands unless the team wishes to have a version with the logo available for purchase. This will give fans the opportunity to wear their teamâ€™s colors without carrying around a company brand that they may not necessarily like or agree with. Though the decision has come with much disapproval, the trial will only run for three years at which point the NBA will reassess the decision.

I became a passionate Demon Deacons fan on the

Unfortunately, over my first two years much of this passion has ultimately turned to anger, defeat and disgust in regards to much of the athletics â€” although there have been moments of exhilaration and excitement, as well. In the 2015-16 academic year, Wake Forest has excelled on the soccer and field hockey fields, while also having fantastic tennis and golf seasons, which are still ongoing.

Wake Forest golf is looking for a national title Wake Forest golf has gotten back on track over the last few weekends BY JACK DUESTERDICK Staff Writer duesjp14@wfu.edu After three rounds of golf in Kannapolis, N.C. last week, the Wake Forest men’s golf team has found its groove as they prepare for the ACC Championships beginning April 22. It appears that the team’s early season struggles have been figured out as they really appear to be hitting their stride at the perfect moment. Led by sophomore Will Zalatoris, who was recently named to the U.S. Team for the 2016 Palmer Cup, the team won their fourth title this season at the Irish Creek Collegiate. Zalatoris, who shot a tournament-low 65 (-6) in his second round, finished the weekend three-under par and tied for second among individual golfers. Zalatoris’ incredible second round was sandwiched between rounds of 74 (+3) and 71 (par), which helped him to his second consecutive top-ten finish. This was a great sign for the sophomore as he has improved his individual finishes in each of his last three tournaments; 25th, sixth, and second, respectively. With regular season play ending after the Irish Creek Collegiate, it appears that Zalatoris has returned to the player he was

first semester, before his injury, when he had five individual top 10 finishes. Behind their sophomore leader, the remainder of the men’s golf team played solid golf and were able to surpass Kennesaw State by four strokes to take sole possession of first place. Finishing three strokes behind Zalatoris and ninth individually, senior Davis Womble played consistent golf all weekend to finish at par. Shooting a 71 (par) on all three rounds, was a nice boost for Womble after finishing 19th at the Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercollegiate. Four strokes behind Womble was freshman Kyle Sterbinsky who played consistent golf and finished tied for 16th individually. Rounding out the quintet of golfers were sophomore Paul McBride and freshman Cameron Young who both finished six-over par and tied for 24th individually. Throughout the tournament, only Wake Forest, Kennesaw State and North Carolina had legitimate chances at taking home the title. After the first round, the Demon Deacons found themselves in second place, trailing Kennesaw State by three strokes, and leading North Carolina by eight strokes. Thanks to a strong second round led by Zalatoris, the Deacs were able to pull within one stroke of Kennesaw State and hold off a charging North Carolina. By the end of the third and final round of golf, the Demon Deacons had taken

sole possession of first place despite Kennesaw State’s consistent golf and North Carolina’s charge towards the top in the last two rounds. With the Irish Creek Collegiate behind them, the Demon Deacons have now set their eyes on the playoffs starting with the ACC Championships this week. With the first place finish last weekend in Kannapolis, this season marks the first time since the 2002-03 season that the

Deacs have claimed four regular season titles. That same year, Wake Forest finished tied for fourth place at the NCAA Championships which was the closest the team has come to winning the NCAA title since 1997 when they were the runner-up. With momentum on their side, the Demon Deacons hope to continue their success through the ACC Championships and hopefully towards the school’s fourth NCAA title at the end of May.

NBA: Advertisements will soon be on NBA jerseys ͷͷ

This decision would make NBA jerseys look like European basketball jerseys in which the city and team name are barely distinguishable from the many brands that surround it. Another concern for fans is the worry that the NBA may seek to find other areas to include company logos and brands, diminishing other parts of the game. There are already enough advertisements on the outside of the stadium, the stadium names themselves, within the stadium, on concessions, on the court and the list goes on. What will one small patch on the front of jerseys really do for company exposure and growth? Finally, many fans are already fed up

The problems associated with the decision are piling up. Adam Silver, who said, “We listen very closely to our fans,” is getting an earful of backlash and negative comments toward the advertising decision that will only create $100 million dollars in extra revenue in a league that is projecting to make $7 billion in the 2015-2016 season. Fans are arguing that the logos take away from the sanctity and appeal that the jersey, city name and team name once had on them. Another worry of many fans is that NBA owners will look to increase advertising revenue by adding more locations for company logos on the jersey front and back.

with the number of advertisements that are shown between quarters and timeouts, especially in the final two minutes where it seems like timeouts are called every 10 seconds. With every patch generating about $222,222 per patch on every player, financially it makes sense, but in the grand scheme of things, these patches will only create about 1.5 percent more revenue for the NBA than the expected forecast for next season. The pilot program will run for three years and the logos will be featured on the new NBA Nike jerseys, it will be interesting to see the impact that these logos truly have on fans, players, owners and companies.

BY KIRBY MCMULLEN Contributing Writer mcmukr14@wfu.edu Last year, American Pharoh became the first Triple Crown winner in horse racing in 37 years. American Pharoah secured its place in sports history, winning the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes. While the initial awe of the accomplishment was great for the sport of horse racing, it will be interesting to see if the interest is still there this year. On Saturday, May 7, the 2016 Kentucky Derby will once again commence at the storied Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. Once the tradition of playing ‘My Old Kentucky Home’ is finished, the horses will leave the starting gates for the 142nd time between the famed twin spires. Only two weeks out from race day, Gun Runner appears to be trending as the current favorite. Gun Runner, trained by Steven Asmussen and ridden by Florent Geroux, has placed first in its last two races of importance at the Louisiana Derby and the Veterans Ford Risen Star Stakes. Another horse to keep your eyes on is Nyquist. This Kentucky-born colt out of Reddam Racing is trained by Doug O’Neill and riden by Mario Gutierrez. Nyquist has the pedigree and proven history to win this year’s Derby by winning its last seven races — most notably the Florida Derby and Breeder’s Cup — and garnering more than $3 million dollars of stakes earnings. Exaggerator is a solid pick to place in the top three based off of his pedigree alone. Having been bred from 2007 champion Curlin, and trained and riden by the Desormeaux brothers, this Kentucky-born colt came in first in his last race, impressively winning the prestigious Santa Anita Derby in California on April 9.

Deacs take massive series from Florida State

Deacs took two of three from Florida State to get season back on track BY BILL LEFTWICH Staff Writer leftwg15@wfu.edu After a devastating three-game sweep at the hands of rival N.C. State, the Wake Forest baseball team found themselves in an extremely difficult situation with only a few series remaining in the season. This team simply is much too talented to have been struggling the way they were in the middle part of the season. A team once projected to have its best season in years found itself on the outside looking in of the ACC and NCAA tournament. Returning from the sweep, Wake Forest walked into a crucial couple games in their push to make the NCAA tournament. They split one of two games against UNCG including a great comeback win (6-4) in the first game, and a game to forget in game two (18-3).

This loss really seemed as if it would take the sprit of the Deacs as they headed into a crucial series against one of the top five teams in the country, Florida State. The Deacs opened up with a statement 9-0 win. Led behind a dominant start by pitcher Parker Dunshee, and Ben Breazeale’s first career grand slam, Wake Forest won a huge game one. Jonathan Pryor also hit his first homerun of the year. Donnie Sellers got the save with two scoreless innings in relief. The Deacs fought hard in game two of the series, but ultimately fell to the Seminoles 13-8. The Demon Deacons continued their offensive success with 12 hits, but Florida State scored 10 runs in the third to fifth innings and never looked back. Game three was the series’ deciding game. Wake Forest notched ten hits, and played great defense, a struggle of the team this season. Will Craig was two for three with a homerun, walk and a save on the mound. Craig has showed time and time again this season that he is one of the best all-around players in the entire country.

Keegan Maronpot made a highlight reel diving catch in the top of the first inning to prevent a rally, and keep the game from getting away from the Deacs early. Connor Johnstone was sharp with only two runs in 5.1 innings of work. The Demon Deacons won the game 4-2 to help improve their ACC record to 7-11. The next ten games will be crucial to Wake Forest, as they are now considered a bubble team for the NCAA tournament. The most important games will be those against top teams as they will help our odds to the selection committee of making the tournament. Otherwise, the series against ACC opponents will be vital. Wake Forest will need to have a strong showing against their series against North Carolina, Boston College, Virginia Tech and Louisville. One to its conference standing, the Deacs will need to depend an ACC tournament victory to punch a ticket to Omaha. The final game of the season is on May 21 and tournament play begins on May 24.

Deacs: Revenue sports seek sustained success ͷͷ

tournament, but Wake Forest also led the country in average attendance at its games. This soccer team was a sparkplug for the students on campus as there was a clear buzz on campus before they played any of their big games. You could hear cheers coming from their games no matter where you were on campus. The soccer team’s great success, and the support of the student body showed just ho much Wake Forest students want to support good sports teams, and proved that Wake Forest is still a school that cares about the success of its athletes. Unfortunaltey, the university’s major revenue sports did not experience the same level of success as some of the smaller sports teams. The graduating class of 2016 will have successfully completed four years at Wake Forest University without either the basketball or football programs reaching the postseason. In my opinion, this is absolutely unnaceptble for this university. Every school experiences droughts in regard to sporting success, and Wake Forest is obviously no Alabama or Kentucky; however, there is no excuse for a class to come to and go through Wake Forest without ever experiencing the exhileration of supporting their schools basketball or football programs in the post season. Steps are clearly being taken to prevent this from happening again, and both programs appear to be headed in the right directions under Danny Manning and Dave Clawson, but next year will truly be a make or break year for both coaches. While both teams looked better on their respective playing fields this season, neither team was able to improve their record from the 2014-15 season. This coming season will be so important for the trajectory of both programs. Wake Forest is a beautiful and attractive school to recruits, but at some point the teams must win in order to be able to recruit the talent that will once again make Wake Forest respected as an athletic program. Both programs need to make big jumps on the field, and I suspect that Deacon fans will be pleased with what they see in the fall. As a small, academically rigorous private school, Wake Forest faces certain challenges in recruiting and compet-

ing that many of its fellow ACC schools do not have to deal with. However, Wake Forest is a power-five school, and has a fairly prestigious athletic history with certain athletic standards. Every single aspect of this school, from an academic standpoint to a social wellbeing standpoint, to an athletic standpoint is expected to be among the best in the country. If the athletics of the school are not up to par then the

university as a whole is not fully living up to its potential as a well rounded university. Great athletics bring national attention and spotlight to schools, and has a drastic increase on the quantity and quality of applicants interested in a university. My hope is that Wake Forest does not become complacent and fall into the trap of believing that they cannot create an environment that fosters successful sports programs — Wake Forest can and will win.

Helmets help address NFL concussion issue Technology companies are attempting to develop the saftest helmets possible for athletes BY MICHAEL MCLAUGHLIN Senior Writer mclamj12@wfu.edu Picture this: The mom or dad drives a minivan. They have to decide if they are going to football or soccer practice. They know, however, football, accounts for 47 percent of all concussions in high school athletics. These parents are who SG Helmets, a helmet manufacturer, wants to target. They want them not only choose football, but also choose one of their helmets. On March 15, however, NFL senior vice president for health and safety Jeff Miller admitted to a link between football and CTE, a degenerative brain disease. It is found in individuals who have suffered brain trauma. Despite this, SG Helmets is part of a helmet market that has vastly improved in recent years. “Pretty much everything we do is different than the other helmets out there,” said Kris Skipton, SG Helmet’s Director of Business Development. The helmet manufacturer has its roots in auto racing. Its founders, Bill Simpson and Chip Ganassi, are both former race car drivers. They took the prin-

ciple of a racing helmet, which is designed to break and absorb force when impacted, and applied it to football helmets. “It allows us to be the lightest helmet on the market,” Skipton said. “The carbon, Kevlar shell is the same type of material that bullet proof vests are made out of. It’s a real energy absorbing material.” To the average consumer looking to buy their child a helmet, that probably sounds nice. But what they really want to know is if it is considered a five-star helmet by Virginia Tech Helmet Ratings. “They do want to know if you are a five-star helmet,” Skipton said. “That’s about what the extent people are looking us at or judging us on.” Since 2011, researchers at Virginia Tech have tested all football helmets on the market 120 different times at different accelerations and speeds of impact. A ratings map is used to to provide a theoretical predicted number of concussions a player would have over the season in a given helmet. They then give it one through five stars based on its ability to reduce the risk of a concussion. The better the helmet, the lower the acceleration registered. For example, a four-star helmet takes what would be a 100 g impact in a one-star helmet and reduces it to 50 g’s. “Moving form the bottom to the top makes a very large difference,” says Dr. Stefan Duma, head of the ratings and Virginia Tech-Wake Forest School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences. “Moving from a 1-star to a four-star reduces acceleration by 50 percent.”

Technology companies are now competing for the NFL’s business as they attempt to develop a safer helmet for all football players.

Student athletes wait for new training center Wake Forest Athletes will be receiving huge upgrades to their training facilities BY ANNA CONTE Contributing Writer contae14@wfu.edu Wake Forest student athlete lifting facilities were temporarily moved from the Manchester Athletic Center to the Sutton Center as the Wake Forest Athletic Department rearranges the functions of its buildings and awaits the opening of its Sports Performance Center. Student athletes made the transition from the Manchester Athletic Center to the Sutton Center Monday, March 14 and are projected to be practicing in the Sutton Center for about two years until the Sport Performance Center is complete. The Sports Performance Center, which will be located between the Miller Center and the McCreary Field House, will begin construction in July. However, according to Craig Zakrezewski, the director of equipment services, this timeframe is subject to change based on fundraising and construction. The athletes and teams that use the Sutton Center as their lifting facility have noticed the differences between the temporary weight room they use now and their past weight room in the Manchester Athletic Center. “The temporary weight room has all the same equipment as the Manchester weight room, just a lot less,” Heather Wiley of the field hockey team said. “It’s smaller in size for sure and there isn’t much space.” Steve Michaelsen, of the track and field team, said he has found an appreciation

for the smaller size of the Sutton Center as compared to the Manchester Athletic Center. However, he also said, “If there is more than one team in there [the Sutton Center] at a time, it can be crowded and sometimes dangerous.” In addition to its smaller footprint, athletes and strength trainers describe the temporary weight room as stoic or dungeon-like, with pipes hanging from the ceiling. Ethan Reeve, Strength and Conditioning Coordinator, said this moving process has demanded a greater flexibility out of the teams in terms of their availability due to limited space in the Sutton Center. Although some conflicts have emerged throughout this transition, Reeve stressed the benefits the Wake Forest athletes can receive by working through this type of adversity. Reeve continued on by saying the temporary placement in the Sutton Center weight room will not impact the athlete’s abilities within games, meets or matches. “After all, the weights still weigh the same,” Reeve said with a laugh. While recognizing the temporary inconvenience, Zakrezewski explained the athlete’s time in the Sutton Center is ultimately for the greater good of the Wake Forest Athletic Department. According to the Wake Will campaign, the Sports Performance Center will house a “state-of-the-art strength and conditioning area,” a designated area for nutrition, as well as offices of coaches and meeting areas. Student athletes have expressed a mutual understanding of long term benefit. “We know that something even better is coming and we are looking forward to the new weight room when it is finished,” Wiley said.

The Buzz on Twin City Hive Coffee Lounge Co-founder Joey Burdette talks to the OGB about opening his little coffee shop on the corner of Brookstown Avenue BY MELISSA LIBUTTI Asst. Sports Editor libumd13@wfu.edu Metropolitan energy meets southern hospitality on the corner of Brookstown Avenue in downtown Winston-Salem. Quietly tucked away, Twin City Hive is the talk of the town. In addition to owning a segway tour company, partners Joey Burdette and Terry Miller opened Twin City Hive Coffee Lounge in 2014. Ironically, the duo met at a Starbucks in Raleigh, N.C. After a marriage ceremony in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the two began their lives — and careers — together. Iced-coffee in hand, I made myself comfortable on the chic red couch and caught up with Burdette.

The atmosphere is very edgy. Was there a particular vibe you guys were going for? Terry has a background in design, and I am good with space planning. The center area is called “The Lounge” and it is meant to have dim lighting and intimate conversations by the fireplace. The most popular seat in the whole place is the darkest corner; it’s always the first to fill up. Was there a reason you picked a location on Brookstown Avenue? Initially, it was beneficial to have the segways near a central area where we could go through Old Salem and Downtown. But, for the coffee shop aspect, we are in an area near a lot of young professionals. It’s really important that we are near a youthful and dynamic energy. Were there any particular obstacles you had to get through to get to where you are? Coffee is a habit-based business. So, until you get people to get in the habit, it is sometimes hard to get them to branch out. Where do you get your coffee? We have a unique multi-roaster model. We get our coffee from six roasters throughout the state. We have developed relationships with all the roasters. In a few minutes, Tyler is bringing up a delivery from Perfect Blend. He roasts our espresso, Twin City Hive bold and light roast.

How do you feel like you are different from other local coffee shops like Camino and Krankie’s? I think we offer things that make us unique among the other shops. For us to even be mentioned with Camino and Krankie’s, who have been around forever, is a great honor. We fill our own niche here as a neighborhood coffee shop.

Do you recommend different drinks for different types of customers? Absolutely, when someone comes in and asks for a cup of coffee, there will be follow up questions. Do you go for light or dark roast? Do you like more acidity or more caramel?

Melissa Libutti/Old Gold & Black

You are a fairly new business having opened in 2014. Tell me a bit about how this all began. When we originally opened Twin City Hive, Terry and I owned a segway tour company. Along the route, we would stop at local businesses just to take breaks, and one of the places was a chocolate shop on Burke Street. We got to know the people who owned the shop and decided to combine forces to open Twin City Hive. A few months in, Terry and I became sole owners. Last October, we sold the segway company so we could focus our energy here.

So, if I order a black iced coffee, like I did today, what am I getting? We have a nitro cold brew. The iced coffee is in a keg and it is infused with nitrogen so it comes out with a head like one that would be on a Guinness. We go through a keg every three days. It’s one of our most popular drinks. That seems really unique. Do a lot of shops do this or is it particular to Twin City Hive? We were the first to bring it to Winston-Salem. The first time I saw it I was mesmerized because we were doing cold brew but it’s not the same as when the nitrogen is infused.

Album Â Review| Â M83 Â Album

M83 Â exhibits Â creativity Â in Â dynamic Â album

Â? Â–ÂŠÂ‡Â‹Â” Â?Â‡Â™Â‡Â•Â– ÂƒÂŽÂ„Â—Â? Ç˛ Â—Â?Â?ÇĄÇł ÍžÍš combines Â guest Â vocalists Â and Â sounds Â of Â Â–ÂŠÂ‡ Í˝ÍśÂ• Â–Â‘ Â’Â”Â‘Â†Â—Â…Â‡ Ç˛Â‘Â”Â‰ÂƒÂ?Â‹ÂœÂ‡Â†Çł chaos BY Â RUSSELL Â LAWRENCE Staff Â Writer lawrrn14@wfu.edu M83â€™s record â€œHurry Up, Weâ€™re Dreamingâ€? was a vast collection of 22 songs that meshed into a beautiful soundscape with occasional instrumental breaks. Featuring notable singles like â€œMidnight Cityâ€? â€” that one popular song on your friendsâ€™ playlists in high school â€” illustrate M83â€™s best work in mining the sounds and atmosphere of the 80s. Or at least it was the bandâ€™s best work. Five years later, M83 has done it again â€” this time with a very peculiar album titled â€œJunk.â€? Although the first track â€œDo It, Try Itâ€? seems to be a departure from saxophone solos and an open door to heavier synths overlapping together, it is a hypnotic invitation to listen to the beautiful mess that is Anthony Gonzalezâ€™s seventh album. Everything from past M83 makes a return, ranging from brass sections and solos to gentle ballads. The album is all at once groovy, strange, beautiful, sad and most importantly, a call back to decades past. Where â€œHurry Up, Weâ€™re Dreamingâ€? hearkened back to only the 80s, â€œJunkâ€? takes a turn into the 70sâ€™ lush arrangements, featuring string sections and soft piano accompaniments. The most extreme example of this is â€œSolitude,â€? which is reminiscent of a Bond theme. With that said, thereâ€™s nothing over the top here, and the most beautiful songs on the album feature Gonzalezâ€™s vocals. â€œSomewhere back in time I left a part of me. I want to see if you can try to bring it back to me.â€? His lyrics plead,

the piano weeps and a string section works in time with a synthesizer just enough to bring the most visionary ELO songs to mind. Right before â€œSolitudeâ€? is a ballad that isnâ€™t only reminiscent, but it also sounds as if it were a song meant for the 80s that was never released. Featuring singer Susanne SundfĂ¸r, M83 masterfully crafts a piano accompaniment and soft saxophone solo that compliments SundfĂ¸râ€™s sweet questions. â€œWhere are you now? When will I see your face again?â€? â€œJunkâ€? is also filled with a lot of other guest vocalists on more upbeat tracks. Along with SundfĂ¸r, Beck sings on the entirety of â€œTime Windâ€?, a song that definitely makes good use of his airy falsetto on top of Gonzalezâ€™s cascade of synthesizers. The most frequently featured artist is easily Mai Lan, who is heard throughout the album lending her gentle yet powerful voice to M83â€™s already strong sound. In contrast to past songs that featured the soft murmurings of a young child, Lan offers her voice as a full extension to Gonzalezâ€™s music. In the albumâ€™s beautiful song, â€œAtlantique Sud,â€? Lan and Gonzalez sing to each other in French. They trade verses, voices intertwining as Gonzalez asks her to stay one more day while she tells him to wait for her to return. Lan makes her debut on the album with the second track â€œGo!â€? However, the most interesting part of the song lies within the guitar parts that rise above all else. Gonzalez enlisted 80s guitarist Steve Vai writes his own solos for the song, and the result is an impressive song that stands out more than the albumâ€™s single. Yet, even with other impressive songs like Walkway Blues or Bibi the Dog, the most fun songs are the tongue-in-cheek revival pieces Gonzalez places in the album as nonsensical interludes. â€œMoon Crystal,â€? for instance, sounds like a song you would hear in a JC Penny lobby. Everything is overly cheerful as violins rise and fall above the rhythmic synthe-

sizer pieces. The song is strangely captivating and sounds like an odd hybrid between Kansas and everything you hate about going shopping. The second instrumental â€œThe Wizardâ€? sounds as if the music is coming from a distant boom box, muffled from far away. Then all of a sudden, more than halfway through the song, Anthony removes the effect entirely. Nothing in the instrumentation really changes, but this simple trick makes the song all the more enchanting as it fades back into the distance. That is exactly where the artistry in â€œJunkâ€? lies. Gonzalez titled the album as such because he wanted to make an album that was â€œcrazy and fun â€” an organized mess.â€? But under all the supposed refuse of over the top nostalgia lies at its core something that is still remarkable. M83 has returned with all the fun electropop synth parts, 80s jazz sax hooks and of course relentless drum fills. Despite hoping for a mess, â€œJunkâ€? is in fact â€œorganizedâ€? as Gonzalez said.

Now, in 2016, Disney has released a new take on the classic story of the Jungle Book with a film made entirely through the use of CGI. Disneyâ€™s â€œThe Jungle Bookâ€? is a complete spectacle of visual effects, creating animals and jungle environments so realistic, you canâ€™t even tell the difference between its CGI and the real thing. I feel that the first person who needs to be recognized for his work in the film is Neel Sethi, the young actor who plays the character Mowgli â€” the only aspect of â€œThe Jungle Bookâ€? that is live-action. Sethi filmed all of his scenes in a green-screen studio set with nothing but animal puppets to guide his stellar performance in the film. Of course, the real heroes of the film are the myriad of CGI artists that labored night and day to make this film look as realistic, beautiful and mesmerizing as it does. The animals look, move and feel so authentic, you are convinced that they filmed real animals. You can almost feel every hair, leaf, sunset and waterfall as if they are right in front of you. Jon Favreau, the director of the film, is even quoted to have told his CGI artists to tone down the beauty of the shots to make them lose any artificiality that you could potentially catch a glimpse of.

The visual effects are unprecedented as of today, and that his awkwardly inserted musical number is somewhat â€œThe Jungle Bookâ€? will be hailed above Avatar as the first forgiven. big step into the photo-realistic potentials of CGI. Overall, â€œThe Jungle Bookâ€? is sure to surprise audiences However, â€œThe Jungle Bookâ€? isnâ€™t merely a pretty picture with the incredible photorealism of the jungle and the to look at. Favreau did a great job of keeping some of the perfected ensemble of voices that bring all of the characfeel and nostalgia of the first Jungle Book animation in ters we know and love to life. Not only will this version of the 60s, as well as doing an impressive job of making this â€œThe Jungle Bookâ€? please fans, but it will surely capture interpretation his own. the minds of children. This reiteration of the classic story really delves deep into the themes of the dangers and beauties of nature and the destruction that man does to nature with their â€œred flowerâ€? â€” the jungleâ€™s oxymoronic definition of fire. The film also treats its characters with such love and care, giving each a distinct visual to each of their animals. The film is also not afraid to get dark with its characters, especially when it comes to Shere Khan, the Bengal tiger who lost an eye to Mowgliâ€™s father. The film centers on this conflict between Mowgli and Khan, a true man vs. nature battle. Shere Khan is a fantastic villain who is best realized in this interpretation of the story. Idris Elba, who voices the character, does a fantastic job of giving Khan a menacing and vengeful tone that looms over the entire jungle. The rest of the voice actors do an incredible job as well. Bill Murray voices the lovable and lazy Baloo, a lone bear whose initial motivation in the film is to find food and use Mowgli to help him out. This is the Bill Murray that we all know and love, giving witty remarks and sentimental moments just at all the right times. Murray is a stand-out among an already outstanding ensemble of actors and actresses, including Ben Kingsley who takes on the mentor role of Bagheera the black panther effortlessly, and Lupita Nyongâ€™o who voices the motherly wolf Raksha.

Book Review | Sean-‐Michael Green

New book looks inside life at Ivy League schools Author Sean-‐Michael Green writes The Things I Learned In College: a comparative study of life in the eight Ivy League schools

BY KYLE TATICH Print Managing Editor tatika14@wfu.edu Prestigious, renowned and strenuous are words frequently used to describe the conventional image of the Ivy League as an entity. While accurate, each of the eight schools that now belong to the original four-school football conference are distinct in their own right, justifiably unique in their academic programs, campus climates, traditions and student bodies.

In a month-long stay at each of these prestigious institutions, Sean-Michael Green explores what makes these universities special and unequivocally subject to stereotypes — both advantageous and adverse to their respective reputations. Beginning in Ithaca, N.Y. at Cornell and concluding at graduation in Princeton, N.J. at Princeton, readers develop a comparative understanding of how some of America’s most highly qualified students deal with stress, respect lecturers of differing political ideologies, throw successful (or unsuccessful) fraternity parties, become involved with secret societies, maintain exceptional study and workout routines, reside in and assimilate to urban environments, value their distinct history and prestige, and embrace traditions throughout the year. Overall, The Things I Learned In College presents an en-

gaging and entertaining reading experience that uncovers the enigma of the Ivy League while exposing the aspects that make each institution unique and unrivaled.
