A document unknown to many students reveals that the school is working toward creating a more unified student body. In response to past events such as Pledge Night 2010, committees of admin-istrators and students worked together to create the “Living Our Values” Administrative Report in August 2010.

Although this report is neither new, nor breaking news, it contains a broader plan for the university that we are now feeling the effects of today, much to the ignorance of most undergraduate students on campus.

This report was made for the purpose of “Strengthening Residential Life and Campus Vibrancy” and addresses the university’s attempts to move the social scene back on campus.

Many students are unaware that the changes they are witnessing being implemented were laid out in this report.

“Our plans for the future involve bringing Greek organizations back on campus and strengthening the harmony and community between Greeks, independents and the entire university,” the report states.

The construction of the Barn is contained within this report, but some students do not realize that the original intentions for an on-campus venue included encouraging a more collaborative stu-dent body.

“I didn’t know that the Barn was part of a larger plan to make us all hang out together instead of with just our sororities or fraternities,” sophomore Delta Zeta Kristen Young said.

According to the university website, 45 percent of all undergraduate stu-dents participate in Greek life. This statistic in addition to immense alumni support for Greek life reveals the influential role it p lays

on campus. While Greek life promotes an active social and philanthropic scene on campus, the off-campus parties that occur every weekend do not

This year, the university instituted a medical amnesty policy that encourages students to seek medical attention for alcohol and drug-related emergency situations without fear of radical reper-cussions.

Students and friends of students who seek help under this policy will not be charged with alcohol violations, and they will not have to go through the judicial review process as long as they cooperate with medical personnel, and did not violate any other serious policies such as vandalism, sexual mis-

conduct or physical assault. Instead, they will receive

medical attention and after-wards they will be required to meet for alcohol assessment and substance abuse counsel-ing with Christina Rush, the substance abuse prevention coordinator.

Other universities, like Cor-nell University and Clemson, have similar policies. Rush

researched medical amnesty policies at other schools when she was working with other leaders on campus to formulate Wake’s policy.

“In some situations, it is completely necessary that students seek help for their friends, and the medical amnesty policy makes this easier,” senior Allison Osborne said.

“For this reason I hope that other schools would offer medical amnesty, or implement related policies

so that students feel comfortable to seek help during a potentially life-threatening medical emergency.”

According to DR. Cecil Price, director of Student Health Service, Student Health has had a policy that students who went there to receive medical attention for alcohol-related emergencies would not be written up, nor would their parents be contacted.

However, this policy resulted in students bringing their intoxicated friends to Student Health and avoiding reporting services such as University Police or resident advisors. With this old policy, students could still be written up if they were not brought directly to Student Health or if other emergency personnel were contacted.

Schools of Business develops tailored career services center

By Sam Perrotta | Promotions manager

On May 21, with diplomas in hand, newly minted university graduates will all face a similar question: “Now what?”

“What are your plans now, grad?”Nine out of every 10 will have a

concrete answer, says the Office of Admissions for the university, a figure that has increased over 20

percent in just three years. Yet in the eyes of the Schools of Business, that is not enough.

At a town hall meeting Sept. 8 hosted by Steve Reinemund, dean of the Schools of Business, students were told of changes in their career service department: namely vari-ous additions specified for business majors beyond the university’s Career Services department. The additions were prompted from a demand from Schools of Business students who hoped their career placement program would be tailored just for them.

“Undergraduate business school students wanted specialized, business-focused career support,” Matt Merrick, senior associate dean for students, said.

Naturally, this dissension to create career counseling focused on one program did not come without tension.

“It’s a biased dedication toward getting [Schools of Business] students jobs,” Hannah Kay Hunt, English and communications double major, said.

“If Wake Forest is so concerned with statis-tics and numbers, the school should seriously pay more attention to the bulk of its student body in the liberal arts.”

Many non-business majors, however, see it in a different light and praise the new developments associated with the university’s Career Services, including the creation of the Office of Professional and Career Develop-ment (OPCD) and a career service center solely meant for Schools of Business stu-dents.

The center will implement business-focused interview preparation, counseling and programming through new hires in leadership including Mercy Eyadiel, execu-tive director of employer relations for the

Division between career advising centers re� ects majors’ divergent needs

By Julie Huggins | Contributing writer

The sound of traditional Irish music, per-formed live by the Irish duo The Belfast Boys, echoed throughout the entrance hall of the Porter B. Byrum Welcome Center as a crowd gathered, chatting excitedly, for the event to follow.

On Oct. 24, Wake Forest University Press and Imagine Ireland kicked off the Women’s Anthology Tour: Voices from Ireland in Kulynych Auditorium in the new Porter B. Byrum Welcome Center, hoping to pro-mote the newly released second edition of the anthology.

An eclectic mix of attendees filled the audi-torium to hear the poets, Caitríona O’Reilly, Rita Ann Higgins, Leontia Flynn, and Eiléan

Ní Chuilleanáin. This version is drastically increased in size from the original publica-tion, going from almost 300 to nearly 600 pages long.

“The first edition was published to counter the negligence of women poets in the 80s and 90s, while the second volume reflects what are now the accepted achievements of Irish women’s poetry,” Jefferson Holdridge, the director of the University Press, said.

“Importantly, this expanded and revised edition charts the emergence of a significant new generation of women poets as well as the continued output and growing stature of the previous generation of Irish women poets.” The featured poets read a selection

� e university can boast some-thing new — its very own beet-derived juice. Don’t gag.

Research has shown that beet juice can decrease blood pressure and make your brain work better. It just isn’t the best tasting drink.

“Drinking beet juice is pretty rough,” Bruce King, a professor from the chemistry department re-searching the eff ects of beet juice, said. King and his lab group have a formula for a new beet-derived juice that will have the same health eff ects — but taste without the un-desirable taste.

� e formula for the new drink was created about 18 months ago.King and Daniel Kim-Shapiro from the physics department, with help from the Offi ce of Technology Assets and Management (OTAM) and the university, hired an outside company to assist in formulating the drink.

King believes they have now found a company to produce about 1,000 bottles of the drink as a sample. He and his team will fi nd out about the production of the new juice within the next few weeks.

For about three years, depart-ments at Wake Forest, including the chemistry, physics, health and exercise science departments, and Translational Science Center, have been working with nitrate-rich food sources.

Nitric oxide (NO), can be de-rived from the NO3

- rich food sources. Nitric oxide is important because it is a vasodilator, meaning that it opens up the blood vessels

and decreases blood pressure. Ni-tric oxide also increases blood fl ow and oxygen to undersupplied ar-eas. Certain vegetables like spinach and some lettuces are all high in nitrates (NO3

-). Root vegetables, such as beets, are especially high in nitrates.

A published study from Britain showed that after drinking 500mL of beetroot juice, nitrite levels in the plasma increased. Wake Forest researchers confi rmed this study by observing an increased level of plasma nitrates, too. Additional studies conducted by Wake Forest indicated an increase level of plas-ma nitrates in the brain, related to cerebral blood fl ow as indicated in MRIs of older adult test patients.

If nitric oxide from beets can do all this, why don’t more people drink beet juice?

Justin Catanoso, senior lecturer in journalism, was recently named the new director of the jour-nalism program at the university. Having spent the last 30 years as a professional journalist, Cat-anoso is bringing a wealth of experience and ap-titude to a growing program in an ever-evolving industry.

� e former executive editor of � e Business Jour-nal of the Greater Triad also recently assumed the role of faculty advisor to the Old Gold & Black. Under his direction, the university’s journalism program has a very bright future.

You’re originally from New Jersey. What made you want to settle in the Triad?

Well, it’s something I never thought I would do. I saw this as a career path and North Caro-lina as a stepping stone. But I always got op-portunities to do great stories here. � e fi rst couple of years I was at the Greensboro News and Record, I covered a half-dozen stories of na-tional importance.

I managed to do that at a paper that really supported a high level journalism, and after a while it felt like this is where I belonged and this is where I can do my best work.

What are your goals as the new director of the journalism program?

My goal is to provide students with what we’ve been doing for the past 17 years, which is really strong experience and practice in the fundamentals. But the important thing to emphasize now is that the fundamentals have broadened. We’ve got a very disparate audience right now. If we don’t deliver the news in vari-ous ways, then someone else will.

So my goal is to provide those fundamentals plus the new media skills they need to be able to plug into where the world of journalism is heading. Wake Forest is a liberal arts school and I believe strongly in the idea that you are being educated broadly to think creatively, skeptically and analyti-cally.

Layer in 15 credits worth of skills class-es in journalism, and it’s going to make you a really good journalist.

What was the journalism program at Wake like when you started here in 1993?

It existed but it was small. Wayne King [the former director of the jour-nalism program] taught three classes and I taught one.

I had never taught before, and in my fi rst class, I had 17 freshmen and it was the fi rst day of classes, so for those 17 kids I was the very fi rst Wake Forest teacher they met. And I didn’t know what I was doing.

But the journalism program really has built

organically over the past 15 years but the most important thing Wayne did in the early ‘90s was elevate journalism to a minor, which gave it a real reason to be and raised our visibility. Now

students of all majors could minor in journalism and that to me is Wayne King’s legacy.

How has the world of journal-ism changed since then?

Well, the world of jour-nalism has changed since yesterday. � is is a constant-

ly evolving fi eld. When I fi rst started here there was no In-ternet. It was old time tradi-

tional journalism. All of that has evolved and changed. Journalism is really under

siege as a business. What we do know is that there’s always go-

ing to be a need for journalism. � e skills must change to apply to these new

ways that people are getting their news.

How signifi cant is the role of the Old Gold & Black on campus and how has it evolved?

� e school newspaper rises and falls with the students that are willing to give a lot of time

and really be committed to it. And sometimes it’s a really great group like we have now, and sometimes it’s not so great.

� e group that’s there now is really commit-ted and really serious about doing good jour-nalism and covering the campus, and I think that it’s evident every week when the paper comes out.

� ere are stories in there that students need to read because they’re interesting and they af-fect their lives.

What would your advice be to students look-ing to pursue a career in journalism?

� e fi rst thing I would tell them is to not lose faith in the profession of journalism, because it’s always going to be with us and we’re always going to need it.

It’s a great profession. It’s exciting, it’s new ev-ery day, it’s important to the lives of the public. I really believe in that and in some ways I feel like there’s no more exciting profession.

And it’s really up for grabs right now and the students that are getting the right skills now are going to be getting in at the ground fl oor and can start helping to shape the future.

� at’s really exciting and I hope that’s what we can do here with this journalism program going forward.

advocate for the school’s goals of harmony and safety. On Oct. 7, a fist fight between two frater-nities broke out at the Delta Zeta and Pi Kappa Alpha philanthropic dodgeball event. “The fraternities are all so overly competitive with one another and defend their brothers at all costs,” Young said. “There are boundaries between fraterni-ties, they can’t even attend a party that is not their own.” This predicament exemplifies the segregation between Greek organizations.

“There is a sense that we are divided,” Meghan Haenn, assistant campus life director, said. She explained that the Barn encourages collaboration between fraternities and non-Greek students. The Barn’s large venue allows for two fraternities, or other organizations, to co- host a party together. These

parties, in contrast to off-campus house parties, are open to every person on campus. Off-campus parties have been less attended as the changes stated in the report are being implemented.

“After seeing this report I now see that the school is trying to move everything on campus,” Landon Ridder, Sigma Phi fraternity member, said.

Tri Delta sorority member Karleigh Ash said she had never heard of the “Living Our Values Report” and was surprised to see the university had a set plan for the social scene on campus.“I wasn’t aware that this document existed but I definitely think there will be less issues with the law and that is a good thing,” Ash said.

Students are aware of the changes occurring but are unaware of the greater plan in the report. “There will be a change of culture and I hope it is for the better,” Haenn said. “We’re Wake Forest, not Greeks, independents or athletes.”

Visiting Professor Peter Gilbert introduced him-self to the university and to the Winston-Salem public by showing a screening of his documentary Brother Number One Oct. 25 in the new Bryum Welcome Center Auditorium.

Gilbert, a new addition to the university faculty and staff, hails from New Zealand, where he spe-cialized in his passion — direction and production of documentary films.

The film that he presented, Brother Number One, deals with the topic of genocide in Cambodia dur-ing the late 1970s.

Tracking the actions of Rob Hamill, the younger brother of a genocide victim, the movie gives a voice to family members of those who lost their lives in the brutal slayings carried out by the com-munist Khmer Rouge regime.

Over the course of Brother Number One, Hamill talks about the effects of his loss. In order to give himself a sense of peace, he returns to Cambodia to observe a war crimes case in which the man who ordered the killing of his brother is put on trial. Hamill chooses to testify.

With legal aid, Hamill constructs a civil state-ment that leads to the July 2010 sentence of the offender to 35 years in prison, which has since been lowered to 19 years.

Constantly working to give himself closure while still struggling with the details of his brother’s vio-lent torture and murder, Hamill dedicated his life to increasing awareness about the Cambodian genocide and to giving his brother dignity through

retelling the tale of his death. The documentary deeply moved many university students. “I just find it sad that we let this happen,” junior Mo-jeeb Nazeri said. “The world was silent while all of Cambodia was screaming in pain for help.”

Despite the fact that the United States did par-ticipate in bombings of the Cambodian region under Nixon as part of the fight against the com-munist “domino effect,” the country’s plight was heavily overshadowed by other conflicts, such as Vietnam.

Today, many Cambodians have chosen to forget the genocide in order to move on with their lives. It is this apathy and complacency against which the documentary fights.

As for Professor Gilbert, the co-director of Broth-er Number One, he will be on campus for the next three years working in the university’s Documen-tary Film Program.

His expertise in commercial making, film pro-duction, film direction, music video production and journalism will undoubtedly prove to be a valuable contribution to the university commu-nity.

of their works from the new anthology.

O’Reilly read first, deliver-ing raw and edgy poems such as “Pisces” and “Autobiography.” O’Reilly was followed by Hig-gins, whose humor and sharp wit intertwined with her words to create poems such as “Be Someone” and “‘Did You Come Yet’s’ of the Western World.”

The third poet, Flynn, who is currently short listed for the 2011 T.S. Eliot Prize, wrote poems of love lost, suffering and pain like “Without Me” and “Acts of Faith.”

The last poet to read, Chuil-leanáin, was the most descrip-tive with her words, creating the

vivid and image-heavy poems like “Wash” and “London.”Students and faculty alike

were captivated by the emo-tion of the poems and the poets themselves.

“The poems really came to life,” junior Erica Fedor said. “The humor and wit certainly jumps off the paper but it’s also amazing to hear how observant these women are and how moving their

stories are.” She compared reading the

poems in class to hearing them read by the poets. Other stu-dents were quick to agree.

“I enjoyed hearing the emotion and the meaning of the poems’ words coming directly from the mouths of the poets,” sophomore Emily

Zier said. “With this and the somewhat comical commentary made during the readings, I feel that I more fully received the sentiments embodied by each of the poems.”

The turnout for the event was spectacular. The spacious auditorium was filled with students, faculty and members of the surrounding residential community, all of whom were interested in the anthology book tour. “It’s an important moment in the history of Irish poetry and in the history of Wake Forest University for printing Irish poetry,” Dr. Omaar Hena said. “Wake For-est has compiled an illustrious group of prominent poets who are not only Irish, but poets of the world.”

Forsyth County School Board settles land dispute

The Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Board of Education voted Oct. 25 to settle a six-figure lawsuit just before it went to trial.

The school system will pay Larry and Ann Edwards $395,000 for about 4.4 acres of land near Kennedy High School and the new Career Center, which is un-der construction near downtown.

The system condemned the land last year and built parking lots on it. It of-fered the Edwards $100,000, well under the property’s tax value of $620,000.

The Edwards challenged the price and had the land appraised at about $580,000. The two sides went through mediation but didn’t reach a settlement.

The university boasts alumni with many notable feats from Arnold Palmer, who is ranked fifth for most wins in history on the PGA Tour, to current N.C. Senators Richard Burr and Kay Hagan. One more recent alumnus, Kevin Dias (‘06), is taking on an entirely new entrepreneur-ial challenge that may contribute to placing him among the ranks of such alumni.

Dias is the creator of a miniature golf franchise called “Putter King.” What is so unique about this particu-lar franchise is that it is the first in-

door miniature golf franchise to exist in Japan.

The first course of the franchise has yet to be opened; however, the fran-chise launched an iOS-based app for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch Oct. 20. The main purpose of the app

is to finish earning the last of the nec-essary capital to open the franchise’s first course in 2012.

“I came to Japan about three years ago to teach English to Japanese busi-nessmen and businesswomen,” Dias said. “During my time here I real-ized that there weren’t any miniature golf centers like in the States. The miniature golf I remembered from my childhood with fun obstacles and themes just doesn’t exist in Japan. It was at that point that I decided to bring miniature golf to Japan.”

The app is a 3D video game that fol-lows four characters in their mini-golf adventures through Japan and around the globe. The Android version of the app is to be released later this year.

“While there are other miniature golf apps out there (e.g. Mini Golf game 3D and 3D Mini Golf Chal-lenge), Putter King’s gameplay, phys-ics and hole designs rise above the field,” Dias said.

So far it appears the app-rating sites agree with Dias’ statement, with app-score.com rating the app a 9/10 and appcraver.com rating it 8/10. “There are a ton of mini golf/putting games on the App Store, but Putter King is set to reign supreme. Putter King is an excellent new putting game to pass the time and play a quick nine holes,” posted mactrast.com, a technology review site.

Moreover, the app features a user competition for designing mini-golf holes, which ideally will increase the use of the app.

“Putter King is currently hosting the 2011 Putter King Hole Design Contest and the top three entries will get their miniature golf hole design featured in our app, the winner will also get $550. The contest is open to everyone around the world,” Dias said.

The plan for the company, as of now, is to start the expansion and

growth of the franchise in Tokyo, where the company is based, and throughout Japan.

However, Dias does not plan for the company to stop there.

“Although Putter King is starting in Japan, we are a global company and we hope to eventually bring our fran-chise to the USA,” Dias said.

Recent university alumni are al-ready showing that they are prepared, ambitious and ready to lead the glob-al community into a new era of com-merce and entrepreneurship.

A scary trend has begun to sweep across the national education scene, as more and more schools

have started to re-evaluate their missions amidst budget crises.

In Florida, Governor Rick Scott claims that the people of Florida “don’t need a lot more anthropologists in the state.”

In Kansas, Governor Sam Brownback has slashed the Arts Commission, arguing that the budget crisis must be solved by slashing unimportant departments and wasteful spending.

From red states to blue states, from the south to the northwest, state governments are decreasing funding and resources provided to liberal arts educations and their associated fields due to their “lack of importance” in modern society. Instead of teaching reasoning, logic and problem solving, states wish to only teach math and science, as this will (supposedly) solve the job deficiencies across our country.

Let’s examine the careers of these two prominent politicians. Out of college, Sam Brownback worked as a broadcaster, which would fall under the umbrella of a communication

major (a liberal arts major). After his broadcasting career, he received as J.D., which, last time I checked, was not really related to math or science. Governor Scott also received a law degree out of college and his daughter recently graduated from college with a degree in anthropology.

The two men that are undermining the existence of a liberal arts education were raised in the system.

If it were not for their college degrees and the opportunities afforded by their undergraduate experiences, they would not be able to destroy their majors

today. Governor Scott argues that he doesn’t want his tax dollars to be spent on anthropology majors that cannot get jobs. In this regard, he may have a point. I don’t know the number of anthropology majors that go on to be anthropologists. In the same vein, I doubt many political science majors end up becoming scientists of politics.

However, what I do know is that Governor Brownback and Governor Scott are making huge mistakes for their states.

It cannot be argued that our country trails other advanced societies in the fields of math and science. Other countries are creating more jobs and providing more opportunities for business ventures, at a much lower cost. But the United States has always been a nation of thinkers and a nation of diverse and wondrous diversity.

Luckily, Wake Forest will not fall subject to the whims of idiotic governors who fail to see the importance of a whole-mind education system. While other schools are slashing their budgets and firing liberal arts professors, the university has stood firm in its faith in the humanities. Wake has added professors across all majors and has continued to fight for the smallest of departments.

All around the United States, we are being told that if we are to succeed in life, we must major in a tangible subject, whether it is math, science or business. We are being told that the liberal arts are unable to provide the same opportunities for job securities as traditional majors. We are being told that we should focus on “real” job placements, instead of sitting around a smoke-filled room pontificating about the merits of democratization, David Hume or Vermeer.

To those who wish to badmouth the significance of a liberal arts education, feel free. But know that you are wrong. Realize that an education in the liberal arts prepares you far beyond whatever field you eventually find yourself.

Realize that liberal arts students are well-rounded, well-versed in a variety of topics and prepared for life’s challenges.

Next time Governor Brownback or Scott opens his mouth, I hope he realizes that the field in which they thrive, politics, does not hold the same tangibility as the fields of math and science.

If they truly believe that the liberal arts are unimportant, maybe they should start the movement by removing themselves from the limelight.

As Governor Scott’s form sets it up so nicely, the citizens of the United States “don’t need any more uninformed politicians trying to get jobs.”

When the hardworking students of the university receive a

well-deserved break, many of the students prepare for a lengthy trip home.

With the university located half an hour away from the Greensboro airport, and an hour and a half away from Charlotte, it is not always the easiest process for students to travel from campus to the airport in order to fly home.

For those students who don’t have cars on campus, they are forced to rely on the kindness of friends, a cab, or the shuttle service that the university coordinates.

The shuttles, easily the most convenient option, are also by far the most expensive option. A roundtrip to Greensboro is $110, and to Charlotte or Raleigh is $300 — not exactly the most cost-effective way to get to the airport, even if it is the most reliable way for a lot of students. Taking a cab roundtrip to Charlotte, however, costs about $200, including tip,

and some of the cab companies will even take Deacon Dollars for a portion of the drive — making that option far more cost effective for many students.

The Old Gold & Black editorial staff understands that the university does not set shuttle prices, something that is done by a third party company, and thus cannot regulate the costs of the shuttles. We appreciate that the university has set up this system to help those students who don’t have cars or ways to get to the airport on their own.

Regardless, when the university offers these shuttles, and even promotes them to prospective students as an easy and convenient way to get to the airport, there should be a change made to make this concept a reality. The prices that are charged aren’t in line with other modes of transportation, making this unacceptable. Thus, we firmly believe that the university should investigate potentially cheaper options for shuttle services.

University must improve level of communication

As we pass the midpoint of this fall semester, the Old Gold & Black editorial

staff has noticed a disconcerting trend in a lack of transparency on the part of the university administration regarding the communication of new initiatives to the student body. Two weeks ago, we addressed this issue with regard to the lack of transparency that accompanied the GPA inflation plan for business students.

This week, two of our front-page stories cover issues which are not breaking news, but are made relevant by the overwhelming majority of students lacking knowledge of these important university developments.

To begin, the Living our Values report that was printed in August 2010 is currently governing campus life. This report holds a broader plan for the university that includes a new three-year on-campus living requirement as well as the construction of the Barn. For such a large, sweeping initiative, this document should have been projected to the student body again this year to inform

students of these major changes to campus life. We recognize that this report was sent out before fall semester of last year, but we have found that the majority of students are still unaware of the program.

After a random population sample performed by an OGB staff member, 79 percent of respondents did not know what the Living Our Values report was. However, 85 percent of respondents had been to the Barn. This demonstrates that students are not aware of the administrative initiatives behind the changes that affect students’ everyday lives.

Moreover, the medical amnesty policy was equally as unknown, with 69 percent of students being unaware of it.

Organizations on campus and the administration have the ability to send broadcast emails to the entire student body. We suggest that important information be presented to the student body in an efficient manner. An email including these documents would help further the university’s goals and increase transparency.

Obama’s foreign policy unlikely to matter in ‘12

Matt Moran

Senior columnist

During the 2008 campaign, few people — Barack Obama included — would have predicted that his administration

would be plagued by domestic frustration but blessed with foreign success.

� e major legislative accomplishment of the Obama administration thus far has been a healthcare reform bill that failed to incorporate some elements of the reform promised during the campaign and ignited a conservative reaction that ended in the loss of the House.

Meanwhile, the economy has dragged on without a slide back in to recession but also without a major upswing that reduced unemployment and restored confi dence.

In the face of 9 percent unemployment, the Obama administration may be sliding straight toward a one-term presidency.

Yet, if we look abroad, the record of the administration is far brighter. In the course of three years, Obama has wound down the war

in Iraq, improved the situation in Afghanistan (somewhat), killed bin Laden and decapitated most of al-Qaeda.

His administration has also weathered the Arab Spring well; though it took some time, Obama placed the United States on the right side of history in the confl ict between people and autocrat.

His administration has also endorsed a future Indian and Brazilian bid for permanent membership on the U.N. Security Council, a refl ection of his recognition of a changing world.

Despite these successes, Obama’s foreign policy record is likely to matter little with voters in 2012.

Conservatives, eyeing the economy and armed with a hatred of “Big Government,” no doubt appreciate bin Laden’s departure into that good night, but won’t vote for Obama because of it.

More interestingly, the mechanisms of Obama’s foreign policy are unlikely to attract much enthusiasm from his supporters.

In some ways, Obama’s foreign policy has been a major departure from the Bush administrations’, in others, it has amplifi ed the elements of Bush’s foreign policy that most enraged liberals throughout the last decade.

First the diff erences: Bush frequently employed soaring rhetoric about a democratic mission that drove American foreign policy.

In his second inaugural address, Bush claimed that the ultimate goal of American foreign policy was “ending tyranny in our world.” � is belief in the capacity of the United States to reshape the world informed

the decision to invade Iraq and led to an understanding of terrorism as not simply a security threat, but a threat to the fabric of American society.

� is language has largely fallen away in the contemporary discourse.

As Iraq imploded into civil war and hundreds of Iraqis were dying every day in 2006, America’s willingness to crusade on behalf of democracy was humbled.

Frustration with the ungovernability of Afghanistan and the escalation of strife there further contributed to this. Until Kaddafi promised “rivers of blood” in Benghazi and Misrata, the Obama administration had refrained from using force to fi ght tyrants and support democrats.

Obama is the President of an America humbled by the implosion of Iraq and tired of body bags; his skepticism of projecting American military power to transform the world is refl ective of where the country is today, just as Bush’s willingness to do so was refl ective of where the country was then.

� is change in rhetoric and mentality are welcome among Obama’s 2008 supporters. Less so are the means the Obama administration has employed in pursuit of foreign policy goals.

Many liberals perceived (accurately) that the Bush administration had a dark side of drone strikes, extraordinary rendition and Guantanamo.

Of the 273 confi rmed drone strikes in Pakistan, 42 occurred under the Bush administration. � e remaining 231 have all occurred in the fi rst three years of the Obama Presidency.

� is is not itself a criticism — drones are cost-eff ective means of eliminating high-value targets and cause substantially fewer civilian casualties than other military options available.

However, an increase in drone strikes was not included in the list of changes we can believe in.

Further, recall the eschatological response to the PATRIOT Act, which eroded barriers between law enforcement and American citizens.

Distasteful as this act may be to the civil liberties minded among us, it hardly compares to placing an American citizen on a “kill-or-capture” list and then carrying out the killing by a drone strike in Yemen.

Perhaps Mr. al-Awlaki and Mr. Khan — the two American citizens killed in the strike — deserved death without a trial; they planned and inspired acts of mass murder against civilians.

Yet, they were also American citizens. Without passing judgment on the policy

itself — which was formulated to fi ght a terrifying enemy in an ambiguous policy environment — we should consider what the reaction would have been had the strike occurred under Mr. Bush.

� e change in foreign policy has largely been outside the framework of what the left wanted.

President Obama has not introduced an era of humane foreign policymaking, characterized by openness, human rights and internationalism.

Instead, American security has been prioritized above all else.

� is is not what the left had in mind; although I’m sure a certain elderly statesman with a thick German accent couldn’t be happier.

Bachmann’s rhetoric positions her for VP post

Jenn Leser

Opinion editor

On the heels of yet another GOP debate, the same three candidates are making all the same headlines.

Mitt Romney isn’t gaining any ground; Herman Cain’s initial surge seems to be faltering as he continues to open his mouth; and Rick Perry disappears into the background once again. Ready for a change of pace?

What is perhaps the most interesting thing about these debates is what isn’t happening. Take Michele Bachmann for instance. A one-time front-runner, the Minnesota congresswoman has time and time again made comments that have gotten her into trouble.

Since there’s just about a year left before the presidential election, it’s pretty clear that unless something drastic happens, she doesn’t stand a chance at getting the Republican nomination.

Say what you want about her, but Bachmann is undoubtedly a fi ghter. So

when she recently made the bold move to wade into the ultra-liberal infested waters of the Bay Area — a place commonly known to chew up Republicans and spit them out without apologizing — and spoke at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, she changed her strategy.

Gone was the Michele Bachmann who would pick fi ghts to prove she was better. Gone was the belief that she was by and large the best candidate. Instead, the problem politician in her cross-hairs was President Obama, and not Bachmann’s in-house rivals.

It seems that Bachmann has taken a look at reality and fi nally has a sense of where she stands in this presidential race. Despite strong

support in Iowa, which is indeed an important marker in the primaries, her luck in New Hampshire hasn’t been quite as good.

Her entire campaign staff walked, and though her national team tried to play it off , the truth got out — apparently Bachmann and her aides aren’t the best at playing well with others.

A major setback to the campaign? Absolutely. Now Bachmann is faced with accepting reality and working toward becoming a vice presidential candidate. In place of her fi ery rhetoric against everyone and anyone who stood in her way to the White House is a direct attack at Obama and no one else.

In some ways, I have to admire Bachmann for this move. � ough she has yet to offi cially concede, like her Minnesota compatriot Tim Pawlenty — fi rst in and fi rst out, ironically — it seems pretty obvious that her fate is sealed.

Now, she’s maneuvering herself into a favorable position that will hopefully land her onto a ticket come next November.

If only every candidate who doesn’t stand a chance could do the same.

It’s not that I’m a huge fan of the current triumvirate of Romney, Perry and Cain; if anything, I’m still hoping that Jon Huntsman can make a miraculous race toward the top and become the candidate to beat.

Since I’m being realistic, I know that that’s not going to happen, so I’ll settle for someone else.

I’m not trying to be a pessimist, but most of the hopefuls really don’t stand a chance at this point in the game.

Looks like a great time to focus on getting that VP nomination if you ask me.

� en again, Washington doesn’t tend to ask my opinion on things, which means that Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and the oh-so-crazy Ron Paul are still taking up time causing distractions during the debates.

I’d rather have those who aren’t going to get the nomination bow out now, so those who could be on the ballot can debate the issues that matter without having to stop and defend themselves every few minutes.

While I’m certainly not a Michele Bachmann fan, and I don’t think that she’s made positive strides for women in politics, I have to applaud that she’s starting to accept the mistakes she’s made and is making positive strides to other positions.

As long as she can play nice with whoever gets the presidential nomination, it’s fi ne by me.

Apparently Bachmann and her aides aren’t the best at playing well with

others.

university, most recently of Stanford Uni-versity.

Eyadiel’s role is two-fold: counseling Schools of Business students and spear-heading employer relations for the uni-versity as a whole.

The role was created after roundtable dis-cussions held between faculty and admin-istration with undergraduate students to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the business program.

Though GPA deflation was on the tip of everyone’s tongue during these discus-sions, a lack of noteworthy career place-ment efforts was not far behind.

“I always felt that there were a lot of resources for stu-dents that the Career Center had on its website,” said Sydney Bailey, senior Busi-ness and Enterprise Management major, “but there was no face associated with them.”

“Plus, a lot of the application processes

for students in the Schools of Business differs from those in the College. Those differences were not being addressed and we were fending for ourselves.”

The response time for change was quick. Since January, faculty and administration have been planning what is now known as the Career Service Center.

With a new location in Kirby Hall and a new name, the Career Service Center looks to help secure jobs for every gradu-ating senior in the Schools of Business by graduation according to Merrick at September’s meeting.

Already implemented additions include one career counselor (which will soon increase to three) for Schools of Business students only and a new career office in Kirby Hall.

Workshops on how to effectively create a personal brand have also been added

in response to the released news that 80 percent of job placements are due to net-working, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

What is also known is the impact the newly recognized GPA initiative will have on recruiting trends at Wake Forest, bring-ing recruiters looking for studenst with higher GPAs to the university and in turn requiring heightened career placement efforts to fulfill the hopeful need.

Starting at the beginning of the 2011-12 academic year, the Schools of Business will implement an initiative that will increase graduates’ grade point averages.

Though the exact specifics of how these increases will occur are unclear, the goal

of the increase is to attract more firms and recruiters to the Schools of Business and make students of Wake Forest as marketable as students from comparable universities.

Many are hoping that the changes to the career center will attract not only more firms but significantly higher caliber ones as well, a challenge that Sheri Bridges, asso-ciate professor of marketing, is more than willing to accept.

“[The career placement changes] will allow students to find internships and jobs with organizations that don’t typically recruit at Wake Forest,” she said.

“Organizations in which our students are capable of excelling, but where they’ve never before had an opportunity to show what they can do.”

Amnesty: Main points of alcohol policy are highlighted“I remember seeing students carrying

unconscious and intoxicated friends through the doors of Student Health, when it would have been much easier, faster, and safer for them to have stayed-where they were and called 911,” Allison Osborne, one of the captains of the Wake Forest Emergency Response Team, said.

The new medical amnesty policy allows for students to contact proper emergency outlets such as the WFERT

EMTs, campus police or 911, without fearing judicial repercussions.

Since the policy was instituted, the student EMTs have seen an increased in call volume.

Max Messinger, the chief of WFERT said that last year the team responded to about 55 calls each semester. “As of a few days ago we had 55 calls” he said.

Messinger reminds students that while about 75% of calls are alcohol related, most are not directly for alcohol over-dose. The number of students sent to local emergency rooms has also increased

this year. Price estimates that last year the student EMTs responded to about 70 calls. This year they have already responded to about 50. The number of students sent to local emergency rooms has also increased this year.

“I’m interpreting all this as a success of the amnesty policy,” Price said. “More students are getting help in a more appro-priate fashion.”

However, Price does not believe that students view the medical amnesty policy as a way to avoid judicial sanctions for substance abuse. “I don’t really believe

that judicial sanctions in and of them-selves are the only reasons student choose not to drink, but they are a part of a comprehensive program to limit the abusive use of alcohol,” Price said.

“My opinion about ‘excessive drinking’ is that as long as it is occurring, we need to have a ‘safety net’ in place to provide an immediate response for those who have used alcohol in a high risk way.”

Price believes that it is too early to assess the effectiveness of the policy, but he says that Rush and Buckley (the Associate Dean/Judicial Officer) are dedicated to

the success of the policy and that the policy will be altered in the future if any aspects of it impede getting medical care to students in need.

Price and the WFERT EMTs believe that this policy has made students on campus safer and has encouraged a safer drinking environment. That is the focus of these initiatives.

Medical amnesty has already been granted to students this year and hope-fully students will continue to use this policy as a way to prevent life-threatening medical situations.

By Scott Siegler | Contributing writer

For the first time since 1998, professional bas-ketball players have not reported to training camp, preseason games have not been played, and the possibility of an actual season happening is look-ing bleaker with each day that passes.

Since June 30, the National Basketball Associa-tion has locked its players out of employment. The reason for this lockout has been the burden of establishing a new agreement on revenue dis-tribution between the players and the ownership of the league. After many painstaking hours of

discussing and compromis-ing, little progress has been made.

Over 100 regular season games have already been cancelled as the tentative start to the season has been pushed back to late Novem-

ber. Is this all bad news? Not necessarily.The idea of playing overseas in Europe is becom-

ing popular among players as they are trying to wait out the tedious bargaining process that has made minimal progress at best.

Deron Williams was a pioneer of this concept. The all-star point guard signed a deal back in the beginning of July that would allow him to play for Besiktas, a Turkish basketball club, for the duration of the lockout.

When an agreement is finally reached between the players and the ownership, he will be allowed to return to the New Jersey Nets and continue his contract uninterrupted.

Other notable players who followed suit in sign-ing similar contracts abroad include Tony Parker of the San Antonio Spurs, Wilson Chandler of the Denver Nuggets and Andrei Kirilenko of the

Saints tie modern NFL record in thrashing of hapless Colts

The New Orleans Saints decimated the Indianapolis Colts on both offense and defense as they cruised to a 62-7 victory. The 62 points matched the NFL record since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger.

Fueled by Drew Brees’ five touch-down passes, the Saints scored early and often, leading 21-0 at the end of the first quarter. Remarkably, Brees threw fewer incomplete passes (4) than touch-downs (5).

With the loss the Colts dropped to 0-7 on the season for the first time since the 1997 season, the year before they selected Peyton Manning in the NFL Draft. The Colts are currently in the lead of the tightly contested “Suck for Luck” campaign, thusly dubbed because of the status of Stanford QB Andrew Luck as the frontrunner for the top pick in next year’s draft.

Colts QB Peyton Manning has been out for the first seven games of the year after neck surgery in the offseason.

Head football coach Jim Grobe clinched his 100th career victory this past Saturday against the Duke Blue Devils on the road.

His team certainly made it interesting for him.“It was not real good for my blood pressure today,

but it was good to get a win,” Grobe said in a post-game interview.

The Demon Deacon football squad beat Duke for their fifth win of the season and their 12th straight against the Blue Devils. However, it was not an easy victory.

Wake started the game leading 17-0: sophomore Tanner Price threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to redshirt junior wideout Chris Givens, junior Jimmy Newman kicked a 38-yard field goal and redshirt senior Brandon Pendergrass punched in a 2-yard touchdown run. The Blue Devils converted on a 26-yard field goal at the end of the first half, but they weren’t finished.

Duke then scored 20 unanswered points to take a 23-17 lead. During their scoring drought, the Deacs managed to gain just 2 total yards on 12 plays (four straight three-and-outs).

“We were just killing our defense,” Grobe said after the game. “We just weren’t very sharp; we missed some throws, we had some dropped balls and we had some opportunities to get some first downs but didn’t convert.”

Someone needed to step up for the Deacs, and that’s exactly what happened. Givens got open, Price delivered the pass and Givens turned on the jets for a 66-yard touchdown to halt the Blue Devil momentum and to regain the lead. This huge play came with seven minutes left in the game.

It appears as if the women’s field hockey team has finally increased their effort and confidence on the turf.

The Deacs have turned their season around, boasting a .500 for the first time this season. The team is finally seeing tangible results for their hard work.

“It feels so good to finally have a .500 record,” senior Christen Atchi-son said. “At one point in the season, we were 2-8. There was a lot of doubt from outside the program. But we knew we could do it. It feels weird to be celebrating a .500 record.

“Normally we always have a win-ning record. It’s not a typical tradi-tion of Wake Forest field hockey.”

Last Saturday, the Deacs celebrated a 5-0 victory over the University of

Virginia at Ketner Stadium. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Deacs and their first ACC win. UVA has always been an intra-conference rival for the Deacs, which made the win even more special.

“We beat University of Virginia my freshman year in the regular season and during the NCAA Tour-nament,” Atchison said.

“But we have never beaten UVA by this many goals. And we have never shut them out. It was nice to beat them again my senior year.”

Sophomore Molly Murphy was the first to score for the Deacs, giving them the lead early on. Murphy, a back and midfielder, scored off a penalty corner. Murphy’s goal gave the Deacs much-needed motivation.

It seems like once the Deacs score a single goal in a game, more and more goals keep coming. Junior Lizzie Rae netted two goals for the Deacs, both unassisted.

Seniors Emily Cummings and Kerry Ergen scored a goal a piece for the Deacs. This was Ergen’s first goal of the season.

Ergen was a key asset of the team last season but suffered a knee injury in the spring that has prevented her from playing this season. Ergen’s goal was scored off a penalty corner.

Winning streak reaches six games

By John Turner | Photo editor

With five seconds left on the shot clock and the team in need of a three-pointer to win the game, these are not the guys you go to. On a fourth and long with enough time on the clock to snap the ball and hurl a Hail Mary, these are not the guys you go to. This is the unheard story of the Wake Forest walk-on.

Of the 80 players on the football roster, 21 are walk-ons; of the 13 basketball players, four are walk-ons, with walk-on tryouts scheduled in the coming weeks.

I sat down with two walk-on basketball players and two walk-on football players to listen to their perspectives of what it is like to be a member of a Division I athletic team, knowing that the chances of their number being called are much lower than the scholarship athlete next to them. Senior basketball walk-on guard Aaron Ingle discussed the natural

inclination to want to get on the court and help the team as much as possible.

“It’s a lot different because you naturally want to play,” he said. “It’s tough to watch. When something is going well you’d love to be out there. When the team is doing badly, you’d love to help.”

There was a definite trend of this sentiment with all of the interviewed walk-ons, as they make the adjustment from a more prominent role in high school to a smaller role in college.

Bryson Dunmeyer, a senior walk-on nose guard, indicated the difficult transition between high school and college and that as a collegiate walk-on, you have to take what you can.

Dunmeyer said, “In high school I was the number one guy, so I got away with a lot more. Here you take what you can get and embrace it and go as hard as you can. An opportunity presents itself and you take it and run with it.”

Recognizing his decreased playing time on the court, senior basketball forward Ryan Keenan explained that as a walk-on, his role is in practice.

The Life of a Walk-On

Utah Jazz. Many players are also cur-rently negotiating contracts with teams overseas.

Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, Derrick Rose, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin, Carlos Boozer and Stephen Curry make just a short list of examples of players who are exploring options with teams outside of the United States.

With such an impressive list of names, one can only wonder how these players would be received in other countries like China, Germany and France.

The answer is well. Very well. In 2008, swingman Josh Childress ventured over-seas despite the common trend of inter-national players like Nowitzki and Yao

Ming moving into the National Bas-ketball Association. He was the sixth man on the Atlanta Hawks and averaged 11.6 points per game throughout the season before he decided to leave. This is the résumé of a typical role player in the NBA.

By no means was this guy a super-star. However, the three-year deal worth $20 million that he agreed to made him the highest paid basketball player in the world outside of the United States.

Upon his arrival in Greece, he was immediately given celebrity treatment. On a casual lunch outing, Childress watched a bartender kneel down in front of him and proceed to kiss his feet.

“Now my lifestyle is more along the lines of a movie star,” Childress said.

The guy was never an All-Star and wasn’t even a starter in the NBA. If the

best players in the NBA like Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant or Dwyane Wade were to make a similar decision, let’s just say Zeus and Poseidon would have to make room for some new Greek gods.

In addition to being treated as royalty upon their arrival to other countries, these players more importantly have potential to spark enthusiasm for the NBA and bas-ketball across the globe.

“They’re a little bit more passionate about their sports here,” Childress noted in an interview about playing in Greece. “You see tons of people in the street who

just love you because you play for their team.”

If the NBA’s finest were to travel over-seas, they would show the fans a level of play that they have never even heard of, forget actually seen before. It would be impossible for guys like Rose and Griffin to not become icons in whatever countries they play in. After all, they are already icons here.

In due time, the lockout will come to an end and everyone would return to their respective NBA teams. However, with all the new international fame they could have an even bigger fan base with all of their new fans following them.

There are also talks of a six game, four continent, basketball exhibition trip being planned for the end of October if the lockout continues. The list of players who could be involved includes many of

the same household names like Bryant, LeBron James, Wade and reigning MVP Rose. Games would be played in Puerto Rico, London and Australia.

Essentially, what we are looking at here is rock ‘n roll band touring the globe and spreading fame for their music.

However, instead of musicians, we have the best basketball players in the world and rather than spreading the fame of their music, they would be displaying the art form that they have turned bas-ketball into.

These players can put on a show that will only benefit the excitement of the sport as a whole across the globe. While many roll their eyes regarding talks of the NBA lockout, there are plenty of ways this delay could do a world of good for spreading popularity and enthusiasm toward the game of basketball.

While pursuing a degree in chemistry, sophomore cross country star Nicole Irving is doing more than

just succeeding in the classroom.The Ballston Lake, N.Y., native has competed in a

number of races this year, each resulting in impressive finishes. Most recently, Irving took home the individual title at the Blue Ridge Open hosted by Appalachian State.

The sophomore has a very bright future ahead of her as she continues to lead the Demon Deacons on the path to success in both cross country and track and field.

When did you start running, and what did it mean for you as a youth?

I started running in seventh grade, but I quit after a few weeks because I could not handle it. In ninth grade, I tried it again, and I really liked the idea of racing and got back into it then.

What does running mean to you now?Now it is the way for me to release stress. I also

really like the team bonding aspect of the game because it seems individual, but in cross country

you need your team to be able to win meets.

What is your favorite part of being on the Wake Forest cross country team?

My favorite part, especially now, is that our team is really small, which is unusual because a lot of teams are a lot bigger than ours. This allows our team to be really close to each other.

How far would you be able to run non-stop if you had to keep on going?

I could probably run for about three and a half hours. I could probably do a marathon, although I never have done one. If I had the choice, I would want to run in one with a bunch of free stuff and a cool location like Hawaii.

What are your plans for after graduating from Wake Forest?I would like to do something in the pharmaceutical industry

such as drug design, but I can see myself still running for fun.

What made you decide to come to Wake Forest over any other school?

I looked at this school when I was not as serious about running. I really liked the feel of the campus, and I wanted someplace with strong academics.

I also wanted someplace warmer because I am from New York. Then eventually running became a part of my life, and I really liked the team when I came on my official visit here.

If you had a choice to meet a famous person associated with running who would it be?

I really like Kara Goucher. I like that she is a marathon runner and is now long distance and is pretty good at it.

What are your expectations for yourself as well as for your team for the rest of this year?

I would love for the team to try and compete to make the NCAA meet after Regionals.

Individually, I would really like to come in the top 20 at the ACC meet and then do even better at Regionals.

What is your offseason conditioning like?It’s not that much different from the regular season because we

don’t get much of an offseason. It’s a lot of mileage compared to workouts, and just making sure that you get adequate rest so that you are not tired for the season.

What would you say is your favorite part of going to school at Wake Forest?

My favorite part is the small atmosphere. I really like being able to see the same people around and seeing familiar faces in the crowd.

Which do you prefer, cross country or track?Definitely cross country. I like the long distances and running

on the trails instead of on the track.

What is your favorite food/meal to get on campus?I really like going to Subway, and getting the turkey sub there.

If you were President Hatch for one day, what would you do?If I was President Hatch, I would cancel Friday classes.

Curry takes full advantage of opportunity in Oakland

Former Demon Deacon linebacker Aaron Curry has made an impact for the Oakland Raiders, recording seven tackles in his first two games with his new team.

Curry was traded to the Raiders Oct. 12 from the Seattle Seahawks after disagreements with the coaching staff over playing time became apparent. Curry saw action immediately in Oakland, starting both games at outside linebacker.

In 2009, the Fayetteville, N.C., native signed a six-year, $60 million contract — the most money ever guaranteed to a rookie non-quarterback in NFL history — after being drafted fourth overall by the Seahawks out of Wake Forest.

Standout Givens earns third ACC Receiver of the Week award

Redshirt junior wide receiver Chris Givens was named the ACC Receiver of the Week for the third time in the 2011 season Oct. 24.

The Wylie, Texas, native caught six passes for 147 yards and two touchdowns in the Deacs’ 24-23 conference victory over Duke Oct. 22.

His 66-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter was the game-winning score as Wake escaped with their fifth win of the season.

Givens also became just the eighth Deacon to clear the 2,000-yard mark in career receiv-ing yards. He now sits at 2,029 career yards. Givens is fifth in the NCAA in receiving yards this season with 886.

Duncan and Talbert fall in ITA Regional Semi� nals

Senior Kayla Duncan and junior Kathryn Tal-bert reached the semifinals of the ITA Carolina Regionals in Chapel Hill Oct. 24 before falling to Duke’s No. 3-seeded pairing of freshmen Beatrice Capra and Ester Goldfeld.

Duncan and Talbert held a 6-2 lead and earned two match points at 7-6, but lost by a score of 9-7 as Duke rallied back, winning the next four points.

The duo had previously defeated another pair of Duke opponents Oct. 23 to advance to the semifinals.

Wake Forest’s next event will be the Notre Dame Invitational, Nov. 4-6 in South Bend, Ind.

While most of campus had emptied for Fall Break, the women’s volleyball team hosted North Carolina Oct. 21 in the sixth annual Susan G. Komen Dig for the Cure match. The Deacs took on an early lead, winning the first set 30-28 in a fight to the finish.

Wake got off to a 4-2 run, but North Carolina immediately answered with six straight points to bring the score to 8-4.

Strong jump serving from freshman outside hitter Jazmen Russell brought the Deacs back on top, and after grab-bing that lead, the team didn’t let up in the back and forth match.

The second set saw a continued push from the team, but as the two squads continued to battle for the lead, North Carolina held on to win after tying the game at 27-27, seizing the next two points to even up the standing at one game each.

An early lead for the Tarheels led them to an easy 25-17 victory in the third set, and when the Deacs fell behind early, they couldn’t make up a 10-point deficit.

Still, the team prepared to battle back in the fourth set, tying the match at

19-19, but North Carolina rallied to win at 25-22.

“We went back and forth in a lot of the first few games; the third one we let up a little bit, and we knew that,” freshman libero Dani Thompson said.

“So the fourth game we came out ready to win and it was close, but not the out-come we wanted, but that’s okay. We’re getting there.”

Leading the team from the backcourt was Thompson, who had the most digs with 14, as the Deacs finished with 57

through the four matches.

Senior out-side hitter Kadija Fornah fell one kill away from tying a season-high record, and finished with 20 kills for the third time of the 2011 season.

Junior middle blocker Andrea Beck contributed 14 kills, and was the only other Deac to finish the night with over five kills, while freshman setter Danae Rosendall chimed in with 40 assists to help the team at the net, finishing one dig short of a double-double.

Despite the Deacs loss, the program, through a combination of dig pledges, pre-match donations and a silent auc-tion, managed to raise $5,653.25 for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

“Since it was our Dig Pink night, we knew we were playing for something more than just the team or getting the win,” Thompson said.

With the season at the halfway point, the team is focused on improving for the remainder of their games.

“At this point, we’re really just trying to continue getting better as a team and playing together,” Thompson said.

“Just making progress every practice, every drill and certainly every match.”

Despite being only a freshman, Thompson has been thrust into a lead-ership role on defense.

“That’s definitely something I’m get-ting acclimated to and figuring out how to play with all the players on the team, and just stepping into that role,” Thompson said.

“It’s a huge responsibility and getting used to it, I think, is the biggest part.”

Consistently strong performances, including leading the team in digs in almost every match this season, Thomp-son is currently the team leader, with 292 digs so far — easily ahead of the rest of the squad.

The Deacs now stand at 2-9 in the ACC, and 5-15 overall. This marks the worst start in Wake volleyball history, and they could match their worst season on record, which stands at 8-23 back in 2007. The team continues to work toward improving their standing and climbing to the top half of the ACC. They currently stand in 11th, tied with Virginia.

The next game for the Deacons is Oct. 28 at Georgia Tech, with another Oct. 29 at Clemson. They return home Nov. 1 to take on VCU in Reynolds Gym at 7

p.m., and have another homestand Nov. 4 against Virginia Tech and Virginia, and again Nov. 11 against two top-25 Florida teams.

Deacons fi nish 12th in U.S. Collegiate ChampionshipBy Riley Johnston | Staff writer

The men’s golf team wrapped up their fall slate of golf tournaments Oct. 25 with a 12th place finish in the U.S. Collegiate Championship.

It was a tough week for the Deacons overall, as the team struggled to match some of the low scores shot by perennial powerhouses that came to Alpharetta, Ga., for the event.

Overall, the Deacs carded a 26-over par 890 over the three days at the Golf Club of Georgia.

Things started out well for the Deacs in the first round on Sunday morning, as birdies were flying all over the course, but an up-and-down day for all of the golfers in the event led to a 7-over par 295 by days end.

Junior Charlie Harrison continued his recent stellar play by leading the Deacs with an even-par round of 72. He carded two birdies and an eagle in his round, but also had four bogeys as well.

Senior All-American Lee Bedford shot a 1-over par 73 for Wake, while sophomore Thomas Birdsey and red-shirt senior Justin Bryant both carded opening round 75’s to close out the scoring for the Deacs.

The second day was all about junior All-American Evan Beck. The Virginia Beach

native started the day with an eagle on his first hole to get going, and despite a couple of bogeys that negated two other birdies, Beck would finish the day with a solid 2-under par 70.

The 70 helped Beck rebound from an opening day 77, and put him into a tie for 35th individually entering the final day of competition.

The rest of the team did not fare quite as well as Beck, with consistency continuing

to be a problem for the team overall.

Birdsey shot his second consecutive 75, but that was the second best score of the day for the Deacs, as Bedford struggled to a 76, and Bryant shot an uncharacter-istic 83.

Following the second round 298, the Deacs sat in 12th place out of the 14 team field.

Looking for a Sunday that would catapult them into the top 10 as a team, the Deacs came out with a flurry of birdies all over the golf course.

Beck and Bedford both had four birdies on the day, but also had some other tough bogeys that negated the good holes.

Bedford led the Deacs in the final round with an even-par 72, which was good enough for a tied for 41st finish at 6-over par for the threeday event.

Beck finished a shot back on Tuesday with a 73, but shot 4-over par for the tourna-ment to finish in a tie for 31st individually.

Harrison, Birdsey and Bryant all came in with final round 76’s to push the Deacs final round total to a 9-over par 297.

Despite the 12th-place finish, there is a lot of potential there for the Deacs if they will gain consistency throughout the tournament and cut down on the number of bogeys per round.

While the team played in Georgia this weekend, the Deacs also sent four other golfers to compete as individuals in the O’Briant-Jenson Classic, held just a short I-40 trip away in Greensboro.

Sophomores John Varol and Beau Cutts were joined by freshman Brandon Ng and senior Franklin Dolan in the event.

Varol shot two solid rounds of 72-76 to finish in a tie for ninth overall.

Ng finished in a tie for 26th after a 76-79, while Cutts finished just behind him with a 78-79.

While the Deacs are done as a team for the fall, Beck and Bedford will head to El Paso in November for the 2011 Western Refining College All-America Golf Classic.

Senior All-American Lee Bedford shot 6-over par at the U.S. Collegiate Championship, good for 41st overall.

Football: Deacs look ahead to matchup with North Carolina“I knew we needed a big play — I just wanted to

go out there and put us in a situation to win the game,” Givens said in a post-game interview.

Duke could not recover, as quarterback Sean Renfree threw an interception to redshirt junior Kenny Okoro to end the game with Wake picking up the 24-23 win.

Demon Deacon quarterback Price completed 15 passes, his season low, for 215 yards and two touch-downs. He was sacked four times.

Pendergrass had just 43 yards rushing on 15 carries. Regu-lar starter redshirt sophomore Josh Harris missed his second straight game with a hamstring injury and will hopefully be back for this week’s crucial matchup against North Caro-lina.

Givens adds to his likely All-ACC season, racking up 147 receiving yards on six catches

and two touchdowns. He has been named ACC Receiver of the Week for the third time this season. Givens now moves up to fifth in the nation in total receiving yards and fourth in yards per game. He leads the ACC in both categories.

Givens is now tied for fourth in Wake Forest history with 20 career touchdown receptions, and becomes the eighth Wake receiver ever to have 2,000+ career

receiving yards. Redshirt sophomore Michael Cam-panaro contributed four catches for 46 yards.

Wake’s defense allowed 371 total yards against Duke’s relatively high-powered offense, but they made the stops when necessary. Redshirt freshman Merrill Noel, a midseason second-team All-Amer-ican according to Sports Illustrated, had seven total tackles and three pass breakups. He leads the nation in passes defended with 16 (15 pass breakups and an interception).

Sophomore A.J. Marshall and redshirt senior Cyhl Quarles had 10 tackles each. Redshirt sophomore nose tackle Nikita Whitlock recorded seven total tackles, including 2.5 tackles for loss and a sack. Redshirt seniors Gelo Orange and Kyle Wilber shared a sack as well.

The Deacs improve to 5-2 with the win over Duke. With their 4-1 conference record, their hopes at advancing to the ACC Championship remain alive. However, the Tar Heels stand in the way.

“We’re in pretty good shape,” Grobe said after the game.

“Staying healthy and keeping everyone on the field will be very important. I think the problem is how many great teams we play going forward. The one next week is gonna be really good — a very talented team.”

North Carolina is 5-3 on the season but they possess a dismal 1-3 record within the conference, losing to Georgia Tech, Miami and Clemson.

Both the Heels and Deacs are in dire need of another conference win. The game kicks off at 3:30 p.m. and will be televised nationally on ESPNU.

The Deacons traveled to Dail Soccer Stadium in Raleigh Oct. 22 to take on ACC rival, N.C. State Wolfpack. The Deacs looked on past success to carry them to a victory, having not lost to the Wolpack since 2005.

Wake Forest continued it success, beating N.C State by a 5-2 final score.

The game saw no early goals early, but it was the Deacons who jumped on the board first, scoring in the 23rd minute of play.

Freshman midfielder Teddy Mullin’s shot from 19 yards out off a free kick found the upper right corner of the goal to give the Deacs a 1-0 lead. The goal was Mullin’s first of his career.

It appeared the score would hold until halftime, but in the 44th minute, junior Andy Lubahn put

a nice through ball from the midline to sophomore Luca Gimenez. Gimenez took advantage of the breakaway and put the ball past the goalkeeper to give the Deacs a two-goal advantage late in the first half.

The goal was Gimenez’s third of the season and the assist was Lubahn’s fourth of the year.

Wake held a 2-0 lead heading into halftime despite N.C. State holding a 10-5 advantage in shots and a 4-1 lead in corner kicks.

The second half saw Wake continue to attack. However, Following a Wolfpack foul, the Deacs were awarded a penalty kick in the 62nd minute. Junior defender Danny Wenzel stepped up and blasted the ball in the top right corner to give Wake a commanding 3-0 lead. The goal was the team captain’s third of the season and the fifth of his career.

N.C. State was not ready to give up yet and responded just a short time later as sophomore Nazmi Albadawi scored from inside the box to cut the lead to 3-1.

The next 10 minutes would see a barrage of scor-ing. The Deacons struck first in the 71st minute as freshman Sean Okoli stole the ball from an N.C. State defender and tallied his first career goal, giving Wake a 4-1 lead.

“He is starting to adapt to the level of play and the game of college soccer,” Vidovich said.

“He’s a talented young man and he has picked up the speed, competitiveness of the game.”

Okoli then assisted on a goal just two minutes later, as his pass to Mullin set up a great cross to Gimenez who was left with a wide open net and scored his second goal of the match.

The goal gave him a team-leading four on the season.

With the score at 5-1, the Wolfpack answered almost immediately, cutting the lead to three as Albadawi scored his second goal of the evening. However, it wasn’t enough as the Deacons ran away with a 5-2 victory.

The victory was the Deacs’ first win this season outside of Spry Stadium and also put Wake Forest at above .500 in conference play at 4-3.

The five goals scored by the Deacons was a season-high and was the most scored in a game since Oct. 9, 2009.

Junior goalkeeper Michael Lisch played all 90 minutes in goal and finished with four saves.

Wake Forest then returned to Winston-Salem Oct. 25 for a meeting with William & Mary. The

game marked the final home match of the 2011 regular season for the Deacs.

Wake looked to avenge their first-ever loss to William & Mary last season as the Tribe won 2-0, Oct. 12, 2010.

The Deacons came out strong, dominating posses-sion and stealing the momentum from the get-go.

Wake had one of many golden opportunities in the 15th minute when sophomore Ross Tomaselli floated a ball toward the goal that nearly snuck underneath the bar, but was punched away by the goalkeeper.

The shot was one of the Deac’s six in the first half as the Tribe only managed to get two shots off. Wake Forest also had a staggering eight corner kicks in the half, but were unable to convert on any.

The second half saw much of the same as the Deacons continued to get good chances.

Wake finally capitalized with just under 10 min-utes left in the contest.

In the 80th minute, Okoli received a pass from junior Luciano Delbono and his near post shot found the back of the net.

The goal was the second of Okoli’s young career and his first game-winner.

Delbono earned his second assist of the season on the play.

“The ball popped up to me and I pushed it as fast as I could,” Delbono said.

“Sean Okoli was wide open and it just couldn’t have worked out better.”

Okoli nearly scored again just a minute later as his shot was stopped by the keeper.

The Deacs had another near goal when Gimenez and Lubahn had a 2-1 breakaway, but Gimenez’s shot sailed high of the goal.

Wake held off William & Mary in the final 10 minutes of play and edged out a 1-0 victory.

Lisch had two saves in goal and earned his fifth shutout of the season.

The consecutive victories are the first for the Deacons in nearly a month.

Wake Forest will end their regular season with two tough road matches against ranked opponents. They will take on the defending national champion No. 11 Akron Zips Oct. 29.

They will then face the conference leading No. 2 Maryland Terrapins.

“We want to win both and I think we definitely could,” Delbono said.

“We’re a great team and we have been all season, but we just struggled to score. Now we’re starting to find those goals.”

Both games will be played amidst huge opposing crowds as both Akron and Maryland averaged in the top-5 in home attendance last season.

“When you look at both teams, their programs are fantastic,” Vidovich said.

“The fans there expect wins and are very sup-portive of their teams and believe in them. We’re going into very difficult territory. All I can say is we’ve been preparing for these types of opportuni-ties and we’re going to go and compete.”

Guide TO Having A WICKED costume

• Last year the most popular candy was candy corn.

• Halloween was originally called Sanheim.

• It was believed that if you saw a spider on Halloween it was the spirit of a dead loved one watching over you.

• If you look into a mirror at midnight on Halloween you are supposed to see your future spouse.

• Pumpkins also come in white, green and blue.

For the math geeks: Grab some friends and dress up as tet-ris cubes! � is effi cient costume can involve a simple piece of colored posterboard, scissors and about fi ve minutes of your time. A tetris game incorporates many diff erent colored cubes (depending on skill level) so invite your whole crew to join.

For the news junkie: Consider a current event-inspired cos-tume, like the Gulf oil spill. Find a dark green jumpsuit and splatter it in oil (or maybe splash dark paint to avoid a stench-fi lled night). In some pre-made oil spill costumes, the letters “BP” cover the jumpsuit pocket to represent “bad planning.”

To avoid buying a premade costume, paint the letters “BP” on your jumpsuit in a scary-colored paint or come up with another funny way for party-goers to recognize your creative costume.

Not the current event idea you had in mind? Our current economy poses another equally frightening concept. Wear a pink slip and attach classifi ed ads to your costume. Dishevel your hair for the ultimate unemployed look.

Another idea: Dress as a depressed stockbroker after the stock market has crashed.

Who doesn’t fantasize about dancing like Gaga? For those who don’t have meat dresses dangling in their closets, throw on a leotard (preferably spandex). Whip out your poker face and favorite hot-and-dangerous heels. You’ll be attracting paparazzi on the dance fl oor in no time!

Not a Gaga girl? Let out your inner glow as Beyoncé with her baby bump.

A white-and-black rimmed sunhat, bright long-sleeved turtleneck unitard and high heels should do the trick.

If you don’t have a natural baby bump, don’t fret. Order a bump online at amazon.com or go the old school route and stuff a pillow in your unitard.

It’s 10:00 p.m. on Oct. 31 and you’ve yet to fi nd a costume.

Typical college student procrastination. No worries … Some-times last minute costume ideas work out best! For example, dress as your roommate. � is proves especially funny if you and your roommate(s) come from diff erent parts of the country. For the ladies, throw on your roommate’s signature cowgirl hat or super hippie vegan shoes. For the men, suck it up for a night and rep your roommate’s hometown sports team (it will be a good conversation starter if nothing else)!

If your roommate’s closet fails you, ruffl e up your hair and dress as someone “running late.” Sporting pajamas or sweat-pants can enhance this outfi t (and probably your comfortable-ness), too.

Are you and your BFF attached at the hip? Go in on a Halloween costume together! Many infamous celebrities could hardly be seen out without their other half — Ernie and Bert, Batman and Robin, or Mary-Kate & Ashley, to name a few. If celebrities aren’t calling your name, you can never go wrong with condiments. � row on a red hot outfi t and a ketchup sign around your neck; your cohort can sport mustard-colored garb.

Still rock out to “Mmmbop” and “Wannabe” on a regular ba-sis? You’re probably not alone. Gather four friends and spice up your life as the Spice Girls! 90’s pop bands never fail as eff ort-less, yet hilarious, costume ideas. You’re bound to fi nd old band concert tees or wigs (for Hanson hair) in friends’ costume boxes.

Never had a pop band obsession? Moon walk into the infa-mous Halloween party as Michael Jackson. Anyone could spot MJ by his dark curls. If you don’t naturally rock the Michael Jackson hair, purchase a wig.

No Michael Jackson look would be complete without the black jacket, a perfect thrift store purchase. Jazz up the outfi t with a pair of dark aviators, sequined gloves and skinny black pants. Don’t skim on dark eyeliner, over-the-top blush and crotch-grabbing dance moves.

Seriously broke? Everyone can aff ord a trash bag! � e bags can actually produce quite a variety of costumes. For example, cut holes for your arms, legs and head in the trash bag. Tape a bunch of blown-up purple balloons to the bag, and create a leafy hairdo. Voilà — you’re a bunch of grapes!

Bring about environmental awareness by dressing as global warm-ing! First, dress head-to-toe in blue garb. Make a big ball Earth out of cardboard and attach the costume to your body. Stick green felt in the shape of each continent to the costume, securing continents around the surface of the earth.

Attach a melting polar ice cap to your head. Perhaps spray-paint your hair into a white frosty tip or a mohawk to create the ice cap. If all else fails, rock a white felt hat with a thermometer sticking out.

Trying to avoid dropping tons of dough on your costume this year? Raid your friends’ closets for components of your cos-tume. Peruse the aisles of Goodwill and other local thrift stores. Swap past Halloween costumes with friends. Even better, make your own costume!

Many pressing questions face college students each October: How am I going to survive midterms, presentations and papers? How many all-nighters can I pull in a row? How will I stay caff einated after Starbucks closes at 1:00 a.m.? � ough most college students deem these questions important, an even more daunting question looms over our heads each October.

� e whispers about it start long before October, but none of us can procrastinate any longer: What am I going to be for Hal-loween this year?

Whether dorky, diva or dime-saving best describes your Hal-loween costume ambitions, there’s a costume out there for you.

Here are a few ideas, organized by costume genres, in case you’re feeling stuck. SAVE MOTHER NATURE

Last minute costume craze

By Mariama Holman | Contributing writer

Some students go home to visit their family and friends during Fall Break Weekend.

Others stay on the deserted campus, relaxing and watching movies in their rooms to recover from midterms.

Wake Forest Art Department students passed the weekend in high-style in Washington D.C., getting up close and personal with world-renowned pieces of art and touring behind the scenes at Smithsonian art museums.

24 art and art history students rose bright and early Friday morning to visit the National Gallery of Art, a nearly century-old institution with over 1,000 works ranging from pieces by Andy Warhol to the Medieval painter Giotto di Bandone. Students split up into groups to examine masterpieces frequently dis-cussed in class, allowing students to apply what they learn in the classroom to the real world.

A close inspection of dew-soaked flower petals in Jan Davidsz de Heem’s “Vase of Flowers” revealed how trompe-l’oeil style paintings were depicted so beautifully, they looked as if they were real.

“There is nothing like seeing a master-piece face-to-face,” Professor of contem-porary and modern art John Curley said.

He guided students through the Andy Warhol: Headlines exhibit.

There’s also something special about learning how these extraordinary works are exhibited.

After touring the various galleries with faculty, students met with Jamé Ander-son (‘93), Smithsonian art exhibition designer and architect, to learn the secrets behind coordinating and installing exhi-bitions.

Students travelled into a little-known region of the National Gallery — a world of I.D. badges, yellow construction tape and barren blue walls.

To most museum-goers, exhibitions appear overnight like magic.

Anderson revealed that over three months of heavy-duty construction, tears, sweat and planning create the ever-so-sophisticated art shows we see in Smithsonian galleries.

Students and professors were literally

“wowed” by “before” and “after” pictures of exhibit spaces. Somehow, Anderson turned dirty, asbestos and lead-polluted bathrooms into elegant, tailored and spa-cious interiors with sufficient space for a Japanese Edo-period samurai art show.

Students also saw the more glamorous side of life at the National Gallery.

They had the opportunity to tour the secret underground brainstorming room. It was literally covered from the floor to the ceiling in tiny sketches and cut-outs of next season’s art prospects like a CSI:Miami detective’s office.

Anderson reported that after curators

research potential show themes, they call architects to model the exhibit with large, highly detailed 1-inch scale models.

However, the modeling does not stop there — designers argue over an array of features such as ceiling height, wall color and shape, beveling, and overhead lighting.

We have not even mentioned the day-to-day dramas of the legal department — lawyers and curators constantly negotiate lending contracts.

Numerous contract stipulations must be incorporated into exhibition design.

The Smithsonian must follow the exacting item placement and protec-tion requirements from foreign muse-ums ranging from Mexico all the way to Japan, or risk litigation.

One ancient Italian art museum requested that one of its pieces be dis-played in a high-tech 6 feet tall, crystal-walled LED-sensor climate-controlled case that could only be positioned at the beginning of the exhibition.

Wake Forest students definitely left the National Gallery with a newfound appreciation for art exhibitions.

The next time you visit a Smithson-ian art collection, or any art institution, imagine all of the hard work behind the delicately displayed Monet Water lilies in front of you.

Handler’s closest friends, families, and co-workers re� ect on their love and resent towards Handler’s crude humor.

By Annie Johnson | Staff writer

Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me, the latest installment in comedian Chelsea Handler’s line of literature, takes the lazy girl’s approach to writ-ing a book.

That is, she made her friends, family and other “victims” do it for her.

As anyone who has watched her late-night talk show Chelsea Lately knows, Handler loves to play practical jokes — particularly at the expense of others.

“My tendency to make up stories and lie compulsively for the sake of my own amusement takes up a good portion of my day and provides me with a peace of mind not easily attainable in this economic climate” Handler says.

Her love for exploiting others’ “dumbassness” is apparent through the many anecdotes contributed by her family, friends, co-workers and even her dog Chunk.

Whether she’s pretending to be Pamela Anderson to ignorant tour-ists, convincing her friend to smuggle fake drugs across the border or spread-ing rumors via email throughout the office, Handler’s flair for the ridiculous and borderline cruel jokes will not dis-appoint. You will be glad if you never have the misfortune of running into Handler mid-lie.

Solution to Word Play: On Cloud Nine

By Susan Ichugu | Sta� writer

Kelly Rowland is stealing the spot-light with her newest album Here I Am that was released July 26. Most of us recognize Kelly Rowland from the famous group Destiny’s Child. When the group broke up, it gave Rowland

and her fellow group member Beyoncé Knowles an opportunity to pursue solo careers.

It has been quite a struggle for Kelly Rowland to find her own place in the music industry since then. Rowland has had to overcome many obstacles to make her mark on the realm of pop/ R&B music. She went through a difficult breakup with Dallas Cow-

boys defensive back Roy Williams and also received much criticism from the public for her previous albums.

The album Here I Am has really allowed the public to see Rowland’s talents and creativity. Idolator Music News says that “for those of you disap-pointed with the lack of dance floor beats on Beyoncé’s latest album, may we direct you to Bey’s former Des-tiny’s Child partner Kelly Rowland’s Here I Am.

“Sure, Kell has her fair share of mid-tempo tunes and ballads, but at least half of the 10-track LP is perfect for keeping the party going.” It looks as if the tables have turned a bit.

The song that really caught my ear first from this album was the single “Commander” produced by David Guetta.

From this moment on, I knew this might be Rowland’s big break and that she would be making moves. This was one of the first songs she released to the public and it was a hit not only in the United States, but in Europe as well.

The second single that drew atten-tion was the song “Motivation” ft. Lil Wayne. Now, this song has an abso-lutely sick beat.

In the music video for this song, Rowland looked absolutely amazing.

Her body was definitely in shape and she had a lot of sex appeal.

Of course, as most say, whenever Lil Wayne features on a track, that track turns to gold, and it surely did. This song peaked No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop songs chart and remained there seven weeks in a row. It also

reached No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The next track I really enjoyed on this album is called “Lay It On Me.” The beat for this song has a lot of bass, which I definitely enjoyed.

The song also has an R&B feel to it which is what most of her loyal listeners are used to hearing.

The music video for this song reminds me of the “Motivation” music video because Rowland is surrounded

by all these beautiful men who are very similar to the men in the “Motivation” music video.

However, I did not think that this video gave justice to this song.

In this album, the listeners get a taste of Rowland’s talent. She does a lot of different things on this album and has songs that the public would not expect from her.

Most would think that Rowland would stick to R&B, but she gets out of her safety zone with this album.

She explores new sounds and new beats. In today’s music industry, it really is all about creativity and the new things an artist can display to the public.

In all honesty, whether someone can sing professionally or not is not really a big concern anymore.

In today’s society, it is all about the visual and Rowland has really grasped that concept. I am so glad that Row-land is making her break and did not let the public get to her.

One thing we should all take from Rowland’s experience is that no matter what circumstances or obstacles you go through, if you keep working hard toward your goals, you will eventually reach them. Kelly Rowland, keep up the good work!

100,000. Whether you know her not, it’s easy to get sucked into her world.

My favorite chapter came from Brad Wollack, whom Handler frequently accuses of sexual harassment and ruined his honeymoon with a single email.

Her incredible skill at weaving lies into everyday life is almost alarming.

Her victims know Handlers loves to lie. They have seen and experienced her pranks.

When Handler feeds them a lie, they are 99 percent sure it is untrue.

Yet that 1 percent is what Handler capitalizes on, and her friends and family fall victim every time.

It’s almost pathetic watching her victims fall for the lies, but all the more funny when they make fools out of themselves.

After laughing your way through the hilarious stories, you start to wonder why these people are even friends with Handler. “Handler is a menace. Work-ing for her is like working for a highly functioning, oversexed, drunken chim-panzee,” employee Johnny Kansas said.

The common theme among all of the stories, however, is the underly-ing impression of Handler, a lying, big-breasted, pants-peeing, chicken-finger-eating, crazy, drunken but incredibly generous, bitch.

The rule seems to be that if she decides to make you a victim of her devilish charm, it’s her show of love and respect.

My only criticism of the book is it sometimes runs out of steam. Some stories do not quite measure up to the others.

The last two parts seem like page-fillers, especially since the last chapter is written from a dog’s point of view. The stories written by other comedians are clearly the most entertaining.

The anecdotes from her other friends and family, although brutally honest, tend to fall a little short. If you are a good-hearted person, you probably

will not like this book. If you think that watching your friend ruin the song she is singing to her brand new husband during her wedding reception is just plain mean-spirited., then this is not the book for you.

However, if you appreciate her comedy, you will fully enjoy this book. Yes they can be cruel, but if you can

admit you take a slightly sadistic plea-sure in other people’s embarrassment, you will chuckle at many of these sto-ries.

These are the true stories of her “take no prisoners” and “spare no one” approach to pranks and despite your empathy for her poor victims, you will laugh out loud.

Gavin Degraw and David Cook with special guest Carolina Liar will perform Nov. 4 in Wait Chapel for the anual Fall Concert. Last week I had the pleasure of speaking with DeGraw in a phone interview.

I was walking across the upper quad when an “unavailable” number called me and I heard the words, “Hello is this Hilary, this is Gavin DeGraw.” I proceeded to frantically look for the nearest bench and began writing as fast as I could.

Degraw spoke about his time as a musician and the success of his newest album, “Sweeter.”

He began the interview by asking how our campus looked, “how beautiful is it looking right now in the midst of Fall?”

When did you begin singing and songwriting?I guess I was what you would call a baby singer.

I used to sing from the crib but I was about four or five when I made up my first melodies.

I wrote my first songs by the time I was 15 after my older brothers encouraged me to do so — there is no motivation like older siblings.

Are you happy with your career at this point?What an amazing life I’ve landed in. I come from

a small, broke town — it was a prison town in New York actually. Having that twist of fate is a lucky thing; I thank my lucky stars everyday.

What are your most memorable moments of your career so far?

Meeting my idols like Stevie Wonders and Elton John are some amazing memories. Having them literally playing the harmonica next to me back stage is just unreal.

Have there been any particular moments that really took your breath away?

The granddaughters of the king of R&B and soul, Sam Cooke, asked me for my autograph once.

favorite musicians’ grandkids were asking for my autographs. This is when I realized I am now in this community of artists.

Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration is everywhere. Just live your life and

pay attention. I am overly conscious so I notice details that others overlook.

I would like to interject that Gavin Degraw sang to me at this point to familiarize me with a few of Sam Cooke’s classic songs.

Have the artists in this “community” shown you support throughout your career?

Last October, I ended up in the hospital and I stayed in a hotel for a while after to avoid the media and I opened my door one day and there was a nice floral arrangement from Elton John outside my door.

I was like, wow Elton John just sent me flowers, how cool is that.

Did you ever imagine that people across the country would know your name one day?

All I wanted when I began pursuing this career was for everyone to recognize my music one day, not my face or my name.

How has feedback from your fans been?My fans have been such incredible support. After my first day back from being hurt all of

these people just rushed the stage. They were my crutch and I guess it takes a dark

cloud to see the silver lining.

How do you like performing in college towns?The vibe is so loose in college towns. The live performance is so fun and the crowd

is electric.

Has your new album, Sweeter started to take off?What’s amazing right now is how the word is

starting to get out. This record really makes me feel something and the new songs are really adding to my performance.

Do you have any advice for college students pursuing careers?

Whatever you decide to pursue in life, you have

to pursue it 100 percent because that is how you get rewards; you have to put in more than the person next to you.

Help the people around you see their strengths because people who are incredibly successful don’t focus on their faults. They focus on their talents and find jobs that show off those strengths.

Over the summer, I was driving home from work and heard a segment on NPR’s All Things Considered claiming that Spotify, the next big thing in music streaming, was making its way to the U.S., after gaining popularity in the U.K. It was the first time I had heard of it, and it took me months to even feel the need to check it out.

Second installment of student- directed plays showcases talent

By Charlotte Leitch | Contributing writer

The university’s second Studio Series of the year opened earlier this week, Oct. 17, and was quick to reaffirm the audience’s hopes that the humor and occasional heartbreak of the first series would continue; we were not disappointed.

This run’s first play, a surreal piece titled The Man Who Turned Into A Stick, was directed by senior John Aguilar. Set on the grimy sidewalk of an unknown big city, we are initially introduced to two free-spirited “hippie” teenagers.

While they laze openly on the sidewalk, get-ting into who knows how much trouble, a large stick appears to fall from the sky, coming danger-ously close to hitting our lead “hippie boy,” played by sophomore Christopher Gonzalez La Corte, directly on the head.

As our “hippie” boy and girl, the latter played by freshman Natalie Michaels, approach the stick and decide what to do with it, another two people join the scene, curiously dressed in all black.

They seem to narrate what happens when one dies, how the stick came to be, and then, entering into conversation with the boy and girl, try to convince our male to concede to them the stick, as they claim to need it far more than he does.

The audience is so enthralled by this conflict and the heated debate going back and force that they may forget to notice freshman T.J. Beeker quietly playing the role of the man who did, indeed, turn into the stick which is now the center of the conflict at hand.

The man in black, whom we later discover is from hell itself, played by junior Tre Easton, finally rises victorious with the stick, after he offers the “hippie” boy $50 for the article. Our “hippie” only reluctantly agrees after claiming to have a bond with the stick, feeling that the stick “understands him.”

Having the stick firmly in possession, we learn that both the man and woman from Hell are on earth as some form of job, collecting souls and inflicting punishment where it is necessary … and it is the woman from hell’s (played by freshman Emma Northcott) first day on the job.

She is forced to break down the story of the stick’s fall, how he came to be is such a condition and what is to happen to him now. It is learned that the man leant too far over the side of a high building and fell while in the company of his young son, whom we hear searching for the stick that became his father during the course of the play. In the end, nothing becomes of the man who turned into a stick.

The second piece, a short comedic production titled Breast Men, was directed by senior Wes Hughes. The set, clearly a honeymoon suite in the romantic Poconos, sets the humorous tone

Spotify: the negative side of a music listening fad

for the rest of the play: a story of two men, best friends, who, because of Lloyd’s (played by Ethan Groce,) recent breakup with his girlfriend, end up in the room together.

From the get-go, Lloyd’s friend, Stuart, played by freshman Orion Goodman, seems to be uncom-fortable with the scenario he finds himself in. He refuses to take off his “lucky sweater,” despite the room clearly being warm and suffering from broken air conditioning and denies Lloyd’s attempts to hug him.

Soon, however, we find out why: Stuart has a medical condition that has caused him to grow breasts.

He has agreed to come on the trip in order to gain support, particularly monetarily, from his close friend. After denying Lloyd’s suggestion of selling his story to the media, Lloyd leaves to buy things for a “man’s night.” Comedic relief is provided, as if it were needed, by Gene “the maintenance man,” played by sophomore Brian Spadafora, during this interlude.

When Lloyd returns, we find out that he has not purchased anything of consequence for their night in, but has bought whipped cream. Stuart is infuriated with the suggestion, but softens more than expected, as the scene closes.

The third and final performance, titled Helter Skelter, was directed by senior Jake Meyer. Set in a simple, chic café at Christmas time, only two characters enter the scene; the man, played by senior Jim French, and the woman, played by junior Mara McCaffray, are introduced as a married couple shopping for their children.

The woman is heavily pregnant at the time and tells her husband that her phone’s battery has run low; she would like to use his to call the babysitter and check on their other children.

The man refuses to give up his phone and, in doing so, confirms the wife’s belief that he is cheating on her. The man, reluctantly, confesses to having cheated on his wife with her sister for the past six years.

The woman admits that she saw her husband and sister together that day and knew of the incident.

Slowly, throughout the course of the rest of the play, the wife begins to undergo a breakdown, cul-minating in her final “vivid, operatic” step toward freedom: stabbing herself in my stomach, killing her child and severely injuring herself.

A poignant message for the ending of a second successful series.

Be sure to look out for the rest of the Studio Series performances this semester. Studio Series III will take place at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 7th and at 4:30 p.m. Nov. 8. This series will feature Dr. Fritz, or: The Forces of Light, Mountain Language and A Tiger in Central Park.

has its catches for “freemium” users, including ads and listening limits both in the number of hours you can listen to music and in the number of times you can listen to a song.

It combines a mixture of Pandora’s “playlist” idea, and Grooveshark’s pick-and-choose.

The difference is that with Groove-shark, even for free, a listener can tune in to a song for as many times as they would like to and for an unlimited amount of time.

Maybe I’m just too used to Groove-sharking and Pandoraing separetely to find the need to have them integrated into the same program, but it is a clever idea.

Upon joining I was given the option to connect to Facebook, which I did and ended up regretting. There’s even a People bar along the side of the screen that resembles quite closely the Facebook chat feature.

You now have the ability to see what songs your friends are listening to on Facebook.

Spotify runs on a program set up to look much like iTunes, with a lot less blue.

It’s incorporation of uses provided by Grooveshark and Pandora, on top of the other programs it already has similari-

ties to, makes Spotify just seem like an amalgamation of music streamers and an integration of social media.

It’s great if you want to be plugged into multiple things at once — it’s not so great, if like me, you just want to listen to a song.

Still, although it may not be my favor-ite, it’s proven to be quite successful with about one million paying members,

and the service is now available in nine countries, most of which are in Europe. With the introduction e-mail containing the statement: Welcome to Spotify. Now that you’ve got a Spotify account, you’re only seconds away from enjoying over 15 million tracks. All free and legal, it’s clear that the vast availability of music chal-lenges the music downloading world, such as LimeWire, which was sued for

an absurd $75 trillion earlier this year. It has become very clear for the music listening world that there will be no shortcomings in online programs and supplemental mobile apps that will pro-vide free music streaming.

With a growing list of ways of tuning in, whether it be the iCloud or Pan-dora, music lovers now have the ability to choose how they want to listen.

On a chilly night at Spry Stadium Oct. 24, the women’s soccer team fell to Duke 2-0. Three days later, the De-mon Deacons defeated Clemson 4-0 in another important ACC clash.

Wake currently stands at 12-2-3 (5-1-3 ACC) in fourth place in the ACC with 18 points.

The game was a highly anticipated ACC matchup between then No. 6 Duke and then No. 3 Wake Forest. Both teams have the mentality to pri-oritize defense and as a result, each

team had only giv-en up six goals the entire season.

Wake entered the game follow-ing two consecu-tive scoreless draws against Maryland and the North Carolina Tar Heels. Duke came into the game

hoping to rebound from a 1-0 loss to North Carolina.

It was a frustrating night for the De-mon Deacons as they could not find their rhythm offensively and were pun-ished with their mistakes defensively.

This was even more disheartening for the Deacs as they gained the No. 1 spot in the RPI rankings just a day before. Wake Forest could not put its best game forward on the big stage as a Thursday night crowd of 2,117 fans watched the Demon Deacons fall to the Blue Devils.

“We didn’t compete,” da Luz said. “We lost the ball in one or two passes. We are not going to score a goal play-ing soccer technically or competitively at that level.”

Both teams came out hoping to push forward for the ACC regular season title. The Blue Devils possessed the ball early in the match and controlled the tempo from the start. The Demon Deacons quickly got into shape defen-sively but could not hold possession

once they won the ball. The Blue Dev-ils focused on bringing the ball down the wings and crossing it into the Deacs box.

The Deacs’ offensive strategy in-volved sophomore forward Rachel Nuzzolese holding the ball up top as the midfield moved around her in sup-port. Wake was without the ACC’s leading scorer, junior Katie Stengel, who missed her second consecutive game with a knee injury.

Although Duke had the ball in the early part of the game, neither team registered a shot on goal for the first 15 minutes.

For the rest of the half, Duke con-tinued to pressure Wake into making mistakes, and controlled the rhythm of the game. At the end of the half, both teams were scoreless. Duke had eight shots and Wake did not have any shots let alone much possession in the at-

tacking third. Da Luz was impressed by the way Duke came about and con-trolled the match from the start.

“Duke was very good tonight,” da Luz said. “That is probably the best I have ever seen them play. They were fresh, and had a week to prepare for us.”

Coming out into the second half, Wake Forest played with more energy and urgency to score a goal. Howev-er, Duke matched the intensity and picked up where they left off at the end of the half. There was no flow for either team in the first couple minutes of the second half as both teams were trying to adapt to the adjustments made at halftime.

Junior Ally Berry came off the bench in the first half and immediately brought energy to Wake as they strug-gled to control the ball. This intensity continued into the second half as Ber-ry was constantly hustling all over the field and creating turnovers from the Duke midfield.

“Tony is always really good at talk-ing to us at halftime and he didn’t even

mention that we didn’t have any shots; he didn’t say anything negative,” Berry said. “He made sure we knew this was our last home game, and that we want-ed to leave with some pride.”

In the 69th minute, Berry had the Deacons’ first shot as her header from a free kick went wide. Three minutes later, in the 72nd minute, sophomore forward Laura Weinberg scored the game-winning goal. Weinberg faked right and cut left, settled the ball on her right foot and bent the ball into the back corner.

Wake Forest sophomore goalkeeper Aubrey Bledsoe’s scoreless streak ended at 515:46 minutes, which ranks sec-ond longest in school history.

“Our intensity just wasn’t there to-night,” Bledsoe said. “That’s not some-thing we can practice. We just got to show up and play.”

In the 81st minute, Weinberg tallied her second goal of the game and sev-enth goal of the season, and the Blue Devils ended any chance of a Wake Forest comeback. Duke sophomore Mollie Pathman played the ball to an open Weinberg who was at the penalty spot. Weinberg placed the shot low to the left of a diving Bledsoe.

This loss marked Wake Forest’s first ACC loss of the season and moved Duke to first place in the ACC. This was Wake Forest’s third game in a row without scoring a goal.

“This was a championship game to keep us in the hunt for a regular sea-son championship and we completely tanked,” da Luz said.

Coming off arguably its worst per-formance of the season, Wake hoped to rebound and pick up three impor-tant points against bottom of the table Clemson Oct. 23 in Clemson, S.C

Wake Forest was unlucky to go into halftime without a goal as three shots hit the post in the first half. Nuzzolese scored two goals in the second half, including the game-winner that came in the 57th minute. Nuzzolese scored the game-winner off junior India Win-ford’s cross.

11 minutes later, junior Kristen Mei-er found Nuzzolese open on a cross and the Demon Deacons doubled their lead. Senior Amanda Howell and Meier tallied the other two goals for Wake Forest. Wake Forest outshot Clemson 18-2 in the match and Bled-soe claimed her single-season record

11th shutout of the season. Redshirt-sophomore Annick McBryar, freshman Kim Marshall and Winford all claimed their first points for Wake Forest with assists on goals.

Junior defender Alisha Woodson felt that the team played much better against Clemson than against Duke.

“It was good for us to come back and get points on the board and not settle for a tie,” Woodson said. “Everyone put in 150 percent effort whether or not coming off the bench or not.”

Wake Forest will now travel to Bos-ton College to finish its ACC regular season schedule. Depending on the re-sult of the Oct. 27 game with Boston College, Wake Forest will either host the first round of the ACC Tourna-ment or will go on the road.

“We are very confident, but at the same time we know that we have a huge obstacle in front of us,” Woodson said. “If we come together and play the way we know how to play, we will beat them [Boston College].”

The Deacs, who had been off to one of the worst starts in the program’s history, have used this oppor-tunity as a growing experience.

They have focused on their fundamental skills and their “two-touch hockey.”

“We have gotten better at passing over the course of this season,” Atchison said.

“We developed the support and structure for two-touch hockey. Towards the beginning of the season, we had a hard time applying these skills under pressure. But the fundamental skills are there now.”

As the postseason draws near, the Deacs need to carry forth their momentum. They need to continue their winning streak. They also need to keep playing as a united team.

“Obviously we want to win the ACCs and appear in the Final Four,” Atchison said.

“But most importantly we need to keep playing as a united team. Winning is just a byproduct of

playing together. We need to play together and the results will continue. We need to play like we did against UVA.”

The Deacs will be hosting Boston College this weekend at Ketner Stadium.

The Deacs hope to continue their momentum, especially as the postseason grows near. This match against Boston College will determine Wake’s seed in the ACC Tournament.

“Boston College will be our toughest match of the season,” Atchison said.

“Not only is this match our Senior Day, but it also deter-mines our seed in the tourna-

ment. We will either be fourth or fifth seed. But no matter our seed, we will play them again in the first round of the ACCs. It’s hard to play a team twice in one season and it’s even tougher when the matches are so close together.”

While Keenan would obviously enjoy more playing time on the court, he knows that to make the team better he has to work hardest in practice.

When asked what his personal goal was this season Keenan said, “Keep the competitive nature of practice. As a walk-on our game is really practice, helping the scholarship guys get better. We get out there and basically play as hard as we can to make them better for game day. We get them ready to go, and want to take it to the next level.”

When asked that same question Ingle said, “Just to be prepared as well as I can, so I’m ready to take advantage of it and help the team.”

Each walk-on demonstrated a clear desire to help the team, as opposed to seeking a more prominent personal role. When asked what the best part was about playing for Wake, every single walk-on athlete referenced their teammates. Senior wide receiver Turner Faulk could barely wait for me to finish the question before giving a heartfelt response.

“Definitely the teammates; I love them,” he said. “We go through a lot, and bond through the experiences. You can’t beat it. It is a type of brotherhood.”

This raises the question of whether or not any tension exists between the scholarship

and walk-on athletes. One might think that there could be feelings of resentment or jeal-ousy that the scholarship guys get to represent the university on the court or field, while the walk-ons watch from the sideline. Yet the common answer to this question was a definitive no.

“They don’t see us as different,” Keenan said. “We have grown into a spot where we are the same with the same expectations from both coaches and players, despite the number of minutes played. Everything they do we do.”

This was evident from my interviews with the football players, whom I interviewed as they were coming off the field from their practice one night. They went through the same drills as the rest of the team, and came off the field just as tired. When asked about the possible separation Faulk said, “Everyone is one happy family. We go through a lot together.”

Ingle added, “Everyone respects us.” The concept of respect stood out, proving that the number of minutes played or points recorded does not indicate the amount of respect gained. As long as the walk-ons go out there with the same intensity, that respect is well earned. Just being a part of the Wake tradition is enough for some.

“My best basketball experience being on the team was the first time I ran out of the tunnel,” Keenan said. “The first home game, fully dressed, hearing the fight song and seeing

the tie-dyed students going crazy … it opened my eyes to how much of an impact the bas-ketball team has. Don’t give up on the Wake Forest tradition. Yes we had a tough year last season, but you better believe we have been working twice as hard as last year. We are ready to go.”

Dunmeyer made the same point, with respect to the football team. “If you’re with us, be with us. We will have rough times, but

if you’re with us, be with us. We do appreciate the support.”

Despite not getting on the field to make an impacting defen-sive play, or stepping onto the court to feed someone an important assist, these players still feed off the intensity the students provide. Point-

ing to the wristband that reads “We Believe,” Faulk said. “Last year was a down year, but that was last year.”

The walk-ons that occupy the bench serve to ignite a fire within the players with more prominent minutes. It is the walk-ons who cheer and pump up the rest of the athletes. While the bench may appear to be a place for guys not worthy or qualified to represent the team, it is where camaraderie and brother-hood thrives.
