ALEX CAO/TECHNICIANGeorge Chandler, junior in mechanical engineering, talks about creating stronger organic solar cells at N.C. State’s Undergraduate Research Symposium. The event took place at the McKimmon Center on Wednesday. “I want to find out a way to make these solar cells stronger,” Chandler said.

Alexandra KenneyStaff Writer

Undergraduate students from nearly every college at N.C. State presented their academic research at the 22nd Annual Undergradu-ate Research Symposium at the McKimmon Center on Wednes-day. Students from different disci-plines, including the humanities and the arts, gathered to present posters of their research to judges, faculty and peers. Two sessions, one at 10:30 a.m. and the other at 12:30 p.m., were held and more than 400 students participated overall. Students who participated sub-mitted an abstract and created a poster based on their research, which will later be judged based on various criteria. A winner will then be chosen from each depart-

ment. The winners selected in the sym-posium are invited to the annual Sigma XI ceremony and dinner, held April 17 in the College of Vet-erinary Medicine Atrium. Judy Day, associate director of Undergraduate Research, said the event highlights and rewards stu-dent work. “The symposium allows students to present the studies they have created in their discipline,” Day said. “Students are given a chance to share what they have learned with faculty, administration and fellow students.” Students could register for the symposium alone or in a group, but all undergraduate students were required to work with a men-tor for their research. Graduate students could be listed as authors of the research, but a faculty member or grad student mentor helped and guided each

piece of research. “Sometimes students come up with an idea completely on their own, and then approach a men-tor to help with research,” Day said. “Some students are working on projects that are a subset of research their mentor has already been working on. We also have some students that submitted their senior design projects to the symposium this year.” Joseph Murray, a senior in math-ematics, researched a new method for sports ranking. Murray pre-sented his research in the second session of the symposium. “My research is specifically about sports ranking methods and modifying them to improve their predictive accuracy,” Murray said. “Algorithms that tend to rank teams fairly don’t always provide accurate predictions. My research focused on adding several compo-nents to improve retroactive pre-

dictive accuracy of these ranking methods.” Murray said he became inter-ested in the study because of his major. “I got interested in this research because it’s based in linear algebra and matrix theory, which is es-sentially my specialty in the field of Mathematics,” Murray said. “I find that once I get on a roll and get deep into the research, I can’t pull myself away from it. It’s that interesting.” Hannah Gardner, a senior in zoology, researched swine with diabetes. Her research was also featured in the second session of the symposium. “My research was about behav-ioral changes and body dimen-sional changes in swine that were induced with diabetes,” Gardner said. “The goal was to see if the pigs with a higher blood-glucose average differed in behavior and

body dimension than those with a lower blood-glucose average.” Aside from being helpful to the students involved with the sym-posium, Day pointed out another benefit. “This event is open to the public, and other students are encouraged to come to see if undergraduate research is right for them,” Day said. “Students will be able to talk directly to peers who have done research, see how it benefited them, see what is going on in their major, and hopefully it will spark their interest.” Students who are finishing their research through the end of the school year will also have a chance to show their work. The 12th An-nual Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium will be held July 31 in the McKimmon Center.

Churches join fight for marriage equalityLiz MoomeyStaff Writer

Several local churches are protest-ing the ban on same-sex marriages in N.C. by discontinuing marriage ceremonies.

Pullen Memorial Baptist Church on Hillsborough Street and Green Street Church in Winston-Salem are examples of local churches protest-ing current marriage laws.

Although Green Street received state-wide media coverage in March after they announced they would not perform heterosexual mar-riages, Pullen Memorial made the decision more than a year ago.

In November 2011, in a unani-mous vote, the Pullen Memorial decided to forgo all marriages un-til, “marriages between same-sex couples and opposite-sex couples will be treated equally.”

According to Justine Hollings-head, director of the GLBT Center at N.C. State, other churches, like St. Frances of Assisi in Raleigh, have come out in support the GLBT com-munity, even if their particular reli-gion is known to be against it.

“St. Frances of Assisi is affirming their support of the GLBT commu-nity, but because they are connected to the Catholic Church they can’t perform same-sex weddings,” Hol-

lingshead said. Green Street Church is under the

United Methodist Church, which limits marriages, weddings and holy unions to heterosexual couples.

The church decided to fray from the head church, because “we, the leaders of Green Street Church, see people in same-sex relationships as completely worthy of the Sacra-ment of Marriage,” according to a press statement.

Hollingshead said she believes that religion and law are being mud-died together when it comes to same-sex marriage.

“When you look at the rel ig ious piece, that is just one piece of a wed-ding ceremony,” Hollingshead said.

Although the church may disal-low same-sex marriage, it has no ef-fect on obtaining a marriage license.

“It is not uncommon, particu-larly at this point, where there are churches saying we won’t perform same-sex marriage ceremonies,” Hollingshead said. “That doesn’t mean that as same-sex couples you can’t go to the marriage bureau in Washington D.C., for example, and get a marriage license.”

Hollingshead said she thinks for some churches, a removal of Amendment One, which prohibited same-sex couples to marry, or the Defense of Marriage Act is going to have much of an impact on whether churches allow same-sex marriage ceremonies.

“I think it will help in the sense of allowing same-sex marriages to oc-

cur, because all this goes back to that contractual obliga-tion that a marriage provides for,” Hol-lingshead said.

Some churches may continue the d isa l lowance of same-sex marriag-es, even if Amend-ment One is re-moved or Defense of Marriage Act was

ruled unconstitutional. “I think that there will still be

churches that will say they are not performing wedding ceremonies, and that is their right to do that as a religious entity,” Hollingshead said.

Hollingshead said she think younger people will be the ones to drive churches to think about their stance on allowing same- sex mar-riages.

“When you are looking across the board at people your age that you

all are far more open-minded, far more at the place to say ‘this is really less than an issue who can get married and who can’t,’” Hollingshead said. “You view it more as inequality when some-one in the community can’t get married.”

Rev. Nancy Petty of Pullen Memorial Baptist said in a press statement the church supports human rights and it is their duty to speak out against oppression.

“(Pullen Memorial’s) state-ment today on marriage equal-ity continues their long-standing tradition of speaking out on be-half of God’s love, compassion, and justice in the world,” Petty said.

Most N.C. State students do not feel that professors are teaching courses with bias or overt political preferences, according to a new study in the Pack Poll, an independent sur-vey project out of the po-litical science department.

The poll asked fresh-men, juniors and graduate

students whether they felt the political bias of faculty was present in the classroom. Pack Poll Advisor, Michael Cobb, an associate professor of public and international affairs, said the poll chose this question in response to the common right-wing criticism that professors are pushing liberal agendas in academia. The poll asked two variations of the same question to compensate for

any bias in question word-ing, but what it found were similar and “unsurprising” results, according to Cobb.

When asked “Do you think N.C. State courses are taught from a politically biased per-spective?” 62 percent of stu-dents who responded said no, 20 percent said yes and 18 percent did express an opin-ion. Students who responded to the alternate question, “Do you think N.C. State faculty are politically biased in the classroom?” the results were nearly the same ―61 percent no, 24 percent yes and 15 percent answered without an opinion.

“The meat of the issue comes down to the fact that even though many faculty members identify themselves as liberal, that doesn’t mean their personal views are rep-resented in the classroom, and students know that,” Cobb said.

Though the main goal of the survey was to judge

whether students were “trust-ing of faculty,” it also asked students whether they felt any political bias expressed by faculty had the ability to change students’ beliefs. About half (47 percent) of the students who answered that they had seen bias in the classroom said they felt professors had the ability to change the beliefs of students. Similarly, 41 percent of the students who answered that they had not seen bias in their courses said the political opinions of faculty members could alter students’ views.

“What students seem to have a problem with most is when a professor states some-thing as ‘fact,’” Cobb said. “Some student don’t like to be told what to think, but when it comes down to it, it’s often an 18-year-old kid against a professor with a Ph.D.”

According to Cobb, there was not much variation in answers between the differ-ent age groups polled in the survey.

N.C. State’s Centennial Campus will welcome its first permanent, full-service dining facility since its incep-tion 25 years ago when On the Oval Culinary Creations opens in August 2013.

On the Oval will be located in the Wolf Ridge Housing Complex, which will make it an easy walk for students and faculty coming from the James B. Hunt Library, the College of Textiles campus and the engineering build-ings.

Jennifer Gilmore, director of Marketing and Promotions for Campus Enterprises, said the Oval was an opportunity for University Dining to “cre-ate something from scratch and start fresh.”

“We are investing in state-of-the-art equipment and stepping out to the forefront of campus dining trends as we prepare to open On the Oval to put N.C. State on the map for its dining services,” Gilmore said.

She said the Atrium on N.C. State’s main campus had many constraints because it was being built for a place that already existed.

With a seating capacity of 420 people, the new food court should help remedy the dining dilemma on Centen-nial Campus.

Gi lmore said that the Atrium, in comparison, has a seating capacity of 260 people.

“I think our engineering students will really enjoy the science-based theme of the Oval,” Gilmore said.

It features four micro res-taurants – Cold Fusion, Fahr-enheit, Flash Point and New-ton’s Diner and Grill.

“Efficiency is the highest priority,” Gilmore said. “We do not want to waste our stu-dents’ money on something that will not work.”

Because it is low mainte-nance, University Dining will be able to open the venue for breakfast, late nights and weekends.

William Yandle, a senior in materials science and engi-neering, said, “I would rather have a more communal area for dining. The new dining area looks like it will provide that.”

According to Gilmore, some facilities, such as the iCafe, are temporary fixes to “tithe the campus over until more permanent facilities could be set in place.”

Gilmore said the periodic table C-Store in Engineering Building I will shut down when the On the Oval opens because it will no longer be needed.

“The NC State Bookstores, however, will have a hybrid bookstore and convenience store in Wolf Ridge to pro-vide snacks and beverages,” Gilmore said.

Gilmore said privately-owned food trucks have also served various parts of cam-pus throughout this transi-tion period for University Dining.

“The key to getting people

to want to eat dining hall food is to make it not taste like dining hall food,” Yandle said.

Gilmore said more cu-linary chefs have been hired in recent years to help improve the quality of the campus dining ex-perience and expand on menu selections.

She said more renova-tion projects are set to take place in the near future.

A nominating committee met behind closed doors in Holladay Hall Wednesday to start a nationwide job hunt for a new senior vice provost position.

Particularly, the new se-nior vice provost will lead the office of Institution-al Research a nd Pla n-ning, a new University entity that will replace the existing University Planning and Analysis July 1.

University Planning and Analysis is currently in charge of providing institu-tional and survey research, facilitating planning and coordinating accreditation activities. UPA also reports data to agencies such as US NEWS, Princeton Review and other media that may provide college rankings.

The Office of Institutional Research and Planning will have the same functions as University Planning and

Analysis but will be an ex-panded department that will be able to meet the demands of the upcoming Southern Association of Colleges and Schools review while also meeting the demand of regu-lar data requests from other groups.

The senior vice provost for the newly created office of Institutional Research

a nd Pla n-ning will be responsible for oversee-i n g U n i -versity data and surveys as well the process by which t he university

remains accredited through the SACS.

According to the job list-ing, the University is seek-ing a transformative leader to provide the institutional research and analysis to sup-port successful implementa-tion of its strategic plan, “the pathway to the future.”

The University has not announced any finalists for the position and is still in the preliminary stages of finding a new provost.

Committee meets behind closed doors

ALEX CAO/TECHNICIANShawn Hoch, associate director of dining services, and Joanna Minett, marketing and communications manager, gave a tour of the On The Oval Culinary Creations, which is still under construction. The new dining location on Centennial Campus will include various eateries that will serve salads, deli, pizza, rotisserie, Asian and foods right off the grill.

Remembering Ian

My son Ian Peterson was a senior at North Carolina State University. He loved music, dancing and the Wolfpack. He was President of The Grains of Time and would have received his degree from The Department of Communication this May. On Oct. 3, Ian was diagnosed with Burkitt’s lymphoma. After a valiant fight against the cancer he nicknamed Bessie, Ian passed away Feb. 27. On May 11, his father and I will receive the diploma that he worked so hard for in his place. It is bittersweet that North Carolina State will grant his degree posthumously. It is a great honor, but how we would love for him to be able to receive that honor himself.Cancer took my son’s life, but together, we may be able to

help another student receive his or her diploma. For people with life-threatening blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma or other diseases, a cure exists. Be The Match is a foundation that connects patients with a donor match for a life-saving marrow or umbilical cord blood transplant. Because tissue types are inherited, patients are most likely to match with someone of their own ethnicity. People of every background are needed so that every patient has a second chance at life.The Peterson family has joined with Campus Enterprises and Shelten Media, LLC to sponsor a bone marrow registry drive through Be The Match Foundation, the world’s largest listing of bone marrow donors. Monday, April 15 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Brickyard at North Carolina State University, those between the ages of 18 and 44 can have their cheeks swabbed and fill out some simple paperwork. It is that easy.What if you are a match? It sounds scary, but 75 percent of donors give through a simple non-surgical procedure and you always have the right to say no.What can you do? We want to get the word out to as many people as possible and flood the

Brickyard with potential donors. Though we are not allowed to match for a specific patient, wouldn’t it be phenomenal if we found a match for Sheldon, a North Carolina Central University freshman with Aplastic Anemia? His siblings are not a match. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Sheldon’s mother did not have to receive his diploma on behalf of her son? Help us get the word out to as many people as possible. Together, let’s build a legacy of life on behalf of my son. I look forward to meeting you there!So they can dance,

THE FIFTH: named for the number of “real job” rejections we’ve thus far received.

THE INHUMANE ICY EVENTUALITY

WARM WEATHER WAKE UP

CONTRIBUTORSElise Heglar

Taylor CashdanEditorDesigner

THE FIFTH IS THE TECHNICIAN’S FIRST PARODY SECTION BASED ON OF COLLEGIATE LIFE. IT IS IN NO WAY A REFLECTION OF THE TECHNICIAN

OR A REPRESENTATION OF ITS VIEWS.

Ah, the sun. Our old friend has hidden away from us for far too long, leaving us shivering beneath our comforters and

scowling behind our gloved hands. When the sun comes out to play after an unnecessarily frigid winter, the change on campus is almost instant. Suddenly there seem to be four times as many students wandering around outside and only half the normal class is in attendance. Fris-bees are lazily tossed in the Court of Carolinas and Tucker Beach is frequented by boys search-ing for the first bikini of the season. When the sun deigns to arrive, it treats us right. Suddenly lectures seem obsolete in comparison to the daily tailgate happening on Brooks or the water balloon fight the international boys have pro-posed. How can we consider books and exams when real life is staring us in the face, offering a cold beer and a chance to tan? The answer, of course, is that we can’t.

Some of us may try to conform to academia despite our gut feeling that it simply won’t take. You can spot those types pretty easily; in the stacks of the library, staring longingly out the window, or splayed out near the Wolves Ears with several books staring up at the clear blue sky. They want success and so they attempt to fall in line. Eventually, the truth reaches us all. Those devout academ-ics touting their large texts everywhere soon merge with the hippies lounging in hammocks and leave their studies by the wayside, if only for a few hours. Those stuck by a window in the library will spot a friend munching on Chick-fil-A and abandon their post, returning only when the dull winter has settled once more. The fact is, school and all its practicality will rarely, if ever, be as enjoyable as a smooth beer, a long hot day and the appropri-ate misadventures to go with it.

To say the spring season in North Carolina is inconsistent is more than generous. Spring chooses the mood of the day on a whim. Winds may bowl you over as you walk to class, but when you emerge, the sun lightly strokes your arm and gives you hope for the change of season. Of course, this hope is often dashed by the appearance of a sudden downpour. But it is the hope we tend to remember throughout our day. The record high of the week will be dissected in every class and with every stranger until we finally get the constant warmth we’ve been missing since October. Any sign of cold is met with anger and disbelief; no, the weatherman couldn’t possibly be suggesting a high of merely 58 degrees! The abomination of the cold has become too much for us and everyone on campus is bursting to smack whoever determined such a long winter season.

With its obnoxious commitment to inconsistent

weather, the start of bring also brings us a plethora of interesting ensemble choices. You can easily pass student wrapped in down filled coats next to girls donning toe ring sandals and micro-short shorts for the first time all year. Some tailor their fashion decisions to the temperature; others seem to operate under the mentality that imagination keeps you warm. In either case, the start of the spring gives us nothing if not amusing visuals. Not to mention enough of the color yellow both on the ground and up our noses to last a lifetime. This temperature haze is the last chance we give ourselves to reach true productive success. Spring is our last shot at making some dent in the productive section of our lives, if only because it keeps us from constant enjoyment. When there is only one day of the week worth smiling about, it’s easy to console yourself with miserable amounts of work.

SUPERCILIOUS SPRING TENDENCIES

The descent into the cooler months begins pleasantly enough. Some have tired of the heat and long for the leaves to change and a cool breeze to arrive. People miss their closed toe shoes and want for a tailgate that doesn’t leave you sweaty before your first shotgun. While these lovely components of fall often distract us, it is imperative not to forget the most important thing about the start of fall; it causes the undue end of summer and the laziness that goes with it. Suddenly deadlines are approaching, papers seem more like an imminent concern than a far-off date and the first round of exams reminds you that reading 50 Shades of Stupid by the ocean is not exactly grand preparation for actual academic pursuits. With the start of fall comes the start of work and it tends to be a transition few of us are thrilled with.

Summer stragglers can be found everywhere during this season. You can spot them easily enough: those who insist on wearing flip-flops despite the temperature

only reaching 50 degrees or bask in the sun wearing a swimsuit in arguably frigid wind conditions. They are the people chanting for one last day drinking session on a Tuesday afternoon while the academics shudder at the mere thought of ignoring work on a weekday. You can often find them barefoot even when the dreaded winter season actually hits, as if their lack of shoes will inspire the sun to come out and play. These are our Lost Boys; they refuse to leave the warmth behind no matter what the wind may tell them or how hard the frigid rain may beat down upon their backs. While the stragglers will undoubtedly get it together as much as possible academically, they just can’t seem to turn off the thought of smooth summer cocktails and carefree days filled with loud music, instead of stuffy lecture halls. The start of fall can feel lovely, that is inarguable. It is the fallout of freedom from textbooks that makes us despise it.

BLIND SIDED BY FALLACIOUS FALL

The inevitable start of the more arctic oriented months of the year is met with anything but a welcome. While this period hasn’t technically crossed into winter weather territory, it is close enough to worry those of us who can’t deal with anything below 70. Breezes stop being nice and start being a nuisance, the boots we were once so excited to wear begin to feel constricting and if we have to put on jeans one more f***ing time, we just might hop on the leggings as real pants trend. The desperation of this in between stage is insurmountable. The slightly cooler weather, which was once a great novelty, becomes the bane of our existence as we begin our descent into the angry cold months of the year.

The one potential upside of this off limbo period of weather is increased productivity in the academic

sense. Going outside just isn’t quite as fun when it requires layers and so we are left with less distraction than usual. Browsing Reddit can certainly suck time away from you, but there is no comparison to the productivity killing that comes from sun drenched bikini days and scantily clad nights of freedom. Our desire to go out seems to disintegrate as the temperature drops lower. The Times looks like a ghost town, Maiden Lane feels like it’s been abandoned and the only place getting much foot traffic seems to be the library. With the depression of the cold comes a distinct social laziness that makes us grumpy and keeps us from true enjoyment. It only gets worse as the temperature goes lower.

HIATUS, HIBERNATION

We hate the cold almost as much as the disgusting two horned beast down the road in Chapel Hill, and we damn sure aren’t afraid to show it. If you’ve visited any social networking site since December, this shouldn’t be news. Statuses bemoaning the cruel winter cover Facebook and Twitter with no sign of stopping until the weather caps at least 70 degrees. Since going out in weather that demands more than a light jacket is unthinkable to many North Carolinians, social media becomes the new way to talk. God forbid we venture out into the frigid cold outside to hang out with someone; it makes far too much sense to Skype with them in the comfort of our warm bed. When spring is finally sprung, many people who emerge have been forgotten entirely because they stay indoors at absolutely all costs. It’s as if campus sleeps straight through the darker months of the year, hoping

to avoid a run-in with the cold entirely.By far, the most frightening aspect of

winter is the thought of going any further north than we already are. Dear God, in New Jersey it actually snows. The concept of dealing with the cold long enough to shovel a driveway would be laughable if it weren’t so insanely terrifying. Everyone is in a terrible mood during these tough winter months; food becomes our friends and television characters become our constant companions. Making straight A’s seems a lot more plausible when we are too terrified to have fun outside. Professors undoubtedly feel confused when the theoretical frost melts, the sun rises and we all bail on academia to enjoy real life once again.

A worthy successor

Evil Dead RisesJordan AlsaqaAssociate Features Edtior

The new Evil Dead film is about as dis-gusting and visceral as a horror film can get away with being. In fact, seeing as the filmmakers had to cut a large amount of material to avoid an NC-17 rating, it’s fair to say this film stands right at the edge of going too far for the majority of its runtime.

It’s also one of the most fun, over-the-top horror films to come out in ages. With so many scary movies following the Para-normal Activity approach of “less is more,” it’s actually kind of refreshing to see a hor-ror film that doesn’t hold anything back.

Evil Dead, a reboot of the 1981 original, starts off with a group of friends gathering at a cabin in the woods to help their junkie friend Mia (Jane Levy) go cold turkey.

As Mia goes through painful withdraw-als, her friend Eric (Lou Taylor Pucci) dis-covers an ancient book called the Necro-nomicon in the basement. After reading from the book, an evil spirit is unleashed. As a nightmarish series of events unfolds, the four friends are left to fight of the de-monic force that has inhabited Mia’s soul.

A callback to the splatter flicks of the ‘70s and ‘80s, Evil Dead does everything it can to make the audience feel uncomfort-able, something it succeeds more often than not. Once the film gets going, blood and gore cover every scene, with character deaths playing out as gruesome and often self-inflicted affairs.

Some may dismiss the violence in Evil Dead as nothing more than torture porn, the same found in the Saw series. However, this is a disservice to the styl-ized nature of the gore. Evil Dead always pushes things far enough past the realistic to keep things from becoming too dis-turbing. The camera work, instrumental stings and cartoonish levels of violence eventually hit a point where things simply become enjoyably ridiculous.

This isn’t to say that the film is incapable of scares, though. The film is full of suspense, and the

initial discovery of how each character has been disfigured is always enough to make your stomach flip.

A large part of this comes from the pro-duction team’s dedication to using as little CGI as possible. There’s an added sense of realism to the proceedings when everything has been achieved through practical effects, and Evil Dead inspires the sense of wonder that many classic horror films could not.

If there’s a major problem with Evil Dead, it’s that the characters themselves rarely feel like fleshed-out characters. For example, Er-ic’s most defining quality is just how much physical abuse he can take without dying.

The one standout is Mia herself. Levy’s performance as both a strung-out junkie and the demonically-possessed Mia are stel-lar, making for a likable protagonist, even when she’s trying to kill the other characters.

Of course, at the end of the day, the kills are what a film like Evil Dead is built on. Fortunately, it’s full of great moments that’ll have you equally excited and nauseous. The weak of stomach need not apply, but those looking for a gore-fest need look no further.

Evil Dead is just a great horror film. Its story may be as old as the genre itself, but it makes up for it with creative kills and over-the-top gore. If nothing else, it brings some much needed color – namely buckets of blood red – back to big-screen horror.

EVIL DEAD (2013)Director: Fede Alvarez

Features& ENTERTAINMENTARTS

A spectacular gore festWill E. BrooksDeputy News Editor

Fede Alvarez’s remake of Evil Dead is like a good cover song it stays true enough to the original to be recogniz-able, but is a distinguishable piece of art.

Sam Raimi’s 1981 horror classic The Evil Dead is de-fined by its campy, gory wis-dom, while Alvarez’s take is more serious and somehow gorier.

So what makes The Evil Dead a classic film in the first place?

Five col lege students spend spring break in a remote cabin. As the night we a rs on, they become possessed by a demonic force and kill one

another. It’s a classic, ste-reotypical character scheme that operates flawlessly and constantly makes you won-der, “Is this a joke?”

At the same time, watch-ing men have to kill their girlfriends makes you ques-tion what you would do in such an absurd situation. Each character’s death could be interpreted as one of the five stages of grief.

Mix character develop-ment and a strong plot with kitschy gore, and it is enough to make viewers cringe and laugh at the same time. It is entertaining on enough levels to please the snobbiest critics and the most passive watchers.

Alvarez’s version doesn’t touch as wide an audience, but it is more terrifying and attempts to fill in gaps that the original film left up for

interpretation.The beginning of the

remake is set in an undis-closed time period. A man burns his possessed daugh-ter alive to remove the same curse that returns to the cabin decades later.

It sets up a sub-plot be-hind the witchcraft from the original film that is interest-ing, but not really necessary. It does play a role in the re-make, but not a crucial one.

Mia (Jane Levy) is a drug addict who quits cold turkey at a retreat to an old log cab-in with friends and family. This fact, which is one of the largest plot changes of the new film, extends the cabin dwellers’ capacity to reason with Mia as she becomes possessed. At this point the story begins following closer to the original.

The need to back up plot points with rational

evidence is com-pletely absent in Raimi’s classic, but different genres call for different lines of reasoning.

There’s no doubt the new film seeks to be edgy and se-rious, but at times it is unintention-ally cliché of early 2000s gore films such as Saw. A scene when one of the cabin-dwellers has to cut off her arm in order to prevent being possessed sticks out as an exam-ple, but it could just as easily

be that Alvarez wants to con-

tinue the “the more gore, the better” tradition.

What is far different is the dark, gloomy filming style featured in the re-make. The entire setting looks surreal and special effects are used heav-ily, especially during the more suspenseful, gory scenes.

Sometimes the setting almost feels like a video game, which is just un-necessary. Look at the original film — it did great with a miniscule budget and a log cabin.

The raw cinematogra-phy of the original film is striking, giving it a feel of authenticity and whole-ness. Though movies in the ‘80s were less filtered in general, it is part of what makes the original great, and I think the remake could have man-

aged some more be-lievable moments.

Much of this brings me to believe Alvarez’s film wasn’t intended for those who had seen the original. It isn’t to say a good portion of people who watched the remake hadn’t seen the original, but rather the film was advertised as “the scari-est movie you’ll ever see,” not “a stunning take on a classic film.”

It was advertised to the thrill-seeking mar-ket and it seems to have done well in the box of-fice, but should fans of the original be pleased anyway? Yes.

The f ilm stays true enough to the first film that Raimi’s original vi-sion can be seen, but at the same time showcases quality filmmaking from a bourgeoning horror au-teur.

While it isn’t campy like the original and at times is too transparent for its own good, Evil Dead is probably the best mainstream horror film to come out since The Ring (2002) which, incidentally, is a remake as well.

If you want to view a laughable, gross, well-written f ilm and you haven’t watched the original The Evil Dead, I urge you to — it’s avail-able on Netflix. However, if you’ve seen the origi-nal, you also shouldn’t pass up the opportunity to see Evil Dead in the-aters now.

Forest.Talbert played most of his

snaps on special teams but managed to record four re-ceptions for 48 yards during the 2012 season.

State’s running backs also contributed to the passing game last season.

Redshirt junior halfback Tony Creecy caught 34 pass-es out of the backfield for 182 yards and a touchdown on

the season. His only receiv-ing touchdown came in the 44-37 loss to Miami Sept. 22.

Sophomore running back Shadrach Thornton recorded 30 receptions for 274 yards last season and scored a 25-yard touchdown against the Seminoles.

The 2013 recruiting class also shows promise for the State receiver corps. Lake-wood High School standout Marquez Valdes and Bunn High School wide receiver Jonathan Alston highlight the five receiver signees for the Pack.

Valdes caught 50 passes for 800 yards and reached the end zone 14 times as a senior for Lakewood.

Alston, the No. 25 recr u it i n North Caro-lina accord-ing to Rivals.com, had 27 receptions for 523 yards and scored seven times for Bunn.

The Pack managed to snag

former West Virginia wide receiver Travares Copeland.

The N.C. State softball team continued its recent surge with a doubleheader sweep against the Campbell Camels Wednesday in Buies Creek, N.C. The Wolfpack have won seven of its last eight games and improved to 21-17-1 on the season. State won the opener 8-0 in five innings.

Senior outfielder Caitlin Dent smashed four home runs in the two games, including a pair of pivotal three-run home runs in State’s 7-5 win in the second game of the doubleheader. The Boynton Beach-native went 5-for-6 for the evening, with five runs scored and nine RBIs.

“Today was Caitlin’s day,” head coach Shawn Rychcik said. “What a great day for her and for us.”

Dent ’s four home runs matched her total for all of last season.

“I just went up to the plate ev-ery time thinking about driving through the ball and getting hits,” Dent said. “I just wanted to hit line drives. They just hap-pened to go out of the park.”

Sophomore pitcher Em-ily Weiman earned victories in both games, improving to 19-15 on the season. The right-hander gave up 12 hits and yielded five runs in 12 innings of work.

While State only managed four hits in the second game, the Pack showed patience at the plate and produced enough timely hitting to produce its forth doubleheader sweep of the season.

“We’ve struggled at times getting the big hit this season,” Rychcik said. “But we had all kinds of big hits today.”

“We played really well today, jumping on them early in the first

game and getting the hits we needed in the second.”

In the opener, the Pack was led by sophomore shortstop Renada Davis, who led off the game with a homer for the fifth time this season.

Davis, the ACC Rookie of the Year last season, is second place nation-ally with 17 home runs in 2013.

“It was a good all-around effort for us, hitting, pitching and defense,” Rychcik said. “Renada’s home run

helped us get a five-spot in the first inning, and Emily pitched really well from the minute she stepped in the circle.”

“That’s the kind of softball I like to see us play,” Rychcik added. “[The opener was] a good performance in all phases of the game.”

The N.C. State football team, recovering from gradu-ating its top receiver Tobais Palmer, will look to redshirt senior wide receiver Quintin Payton and junior wide re-

ceiver Bryan Underwood to help lead the team to success in the upcoming season.

Payton was the primary target for former quarterback Mike Glennon last season be-fore Palmer caught fire. The Anderson, S.C., native led the team in receiving yards with 798 yards off 51 receptions and scored two touchdowns for the Wolfpack.

Payton’s scores came in the home opener against South Alabama and in the final home game against Boston College.

Underwood started the season hot by scoring at least one touchdown in the first eight games of the season, including the game-winning score against then No. 3 Flor-ida State. However, dropped passes caused his numbers to decline, as he was held score-less for the last five games of the season.

Underwood finished the 2012 campaign with 44 catch-es for 620 yards and a team-high 10 touchdowns.

In addition to Payton and Underwood, the team

will return four receivers who saw action last season.

Redshirt senior Rashard Smith, who spent most of last season returning punts, caught 19 passes for 315 yards and scored five touchdowns. Smith had 34 punts for 316 yards and scored his only special-teams touchdown against The Citadel.

Sophomore wide receiver Charlie Hegedus, the only true freshman, letter-win-ning wide-out to return for the Pack, caught nine passes for 116 yards and a touch-down against rival UNC-Chapel Hill.

State’s returning tight ends, redshirt seniors Asa Watson and Anthony Talbert, will also look to play major roles in the upcoming campaign.

Watson, who was second string last year behind gradu-ated tight end Mario Carter, caught 24 passes for 282 yards and one touchdown. Watson’s lone score came during the Nov. 10 victory over Wake
