Popular fast food chain picks Raleigh for two-story concept store.

Andrew BranchDeputy News Editor

Chick-fil-A is coming to Cameron Village on Groundhog Day 2012 after 25 years of trying—and it will be in a two-story building.

John Pharr, senior vice president of Regency, Cameron Village’s operator, said Chick-fil-A is preparing to grow into heavy urban centers and selected Raleigh over its own hometown, At-lanta, for its test store. Featuring two drive-thrus, as well as an elevator and

second-f loor outdoor seating, the building, which will be the first-ever two-story restaurant for the food chain, will be a radical change for Chick-fil-A, according to Pharr.

The current location has been in the works for five to six years, ac-cording to Pharr.

“It’s complicated,” Pharr said. “Whenev-er you have a company that’s doing something that they’ve never done before, it takes exponentially longer because everything has to be re-in-vented.”

Pharr said Cameron Village made an offer too good for Chick-fil-A to

refuse.“They felt that Cam-

eron has had such a long and storied his-tory in the retail world that…certainly when this block was offered to them, it was in their terms kind of a no-brainer,” Pharr said. “This is absolutely where they wanted to do the first concept store.”

Chick-fil-A was given the plot due to their professionalism and willingness to work with the shopping center’s de-

mands.“We would never have offered

the location that they are doing to [any other fast food restaurant].”

Seating 200 people on the inside alone, Pharr said the store is poised to become a destination.

“They will do probably triple in revenue what a normal Chick-fil-A does and they are prepared to ac-commodate that demand,” Pharr said.

Pharr said the company’s work on the project was second to none.

“I’ve been in the real estate busi-ness for 30 years, and I have never seen one entity go to this level of

Sugarland bakery excited to make its way over to new Raleigh location in Cameron Village.

Sruthi MohanStaff Writer

Sugarland, currently located on East Franklin Street near UNC-Chapel Hill, is planning on opening up a new store in Cameron Village around Val-entine’s Day 2012.

If the lease is resigned on Franklin Street, the Raleigh location will be an expansionary store; if not, Sugarland will be moving to Raleigh. They are known mostly for their cupcakes, ge-lato and a full-service bar that incor-porates the 24 daily gelato flavors into various frozen martinis.

Katrina Ryan, who serves as co-owner along with her husband, said the lease negotiations for the store lo-cation in Cameron Village are under-way. Ryan said there are no disagree-ments regarding the leasing contract and it is simply the final formalities

that are being worked out. “It is an old building and various

things have to be paid for before the actual handing over of the keys,” Ryan said.

After three and a half years of suc-cess, the owners are looking forward to expanding and making their servic-es and products more accessible to the greater North Carolina community. Sugarland has been featured on Food

Network, the Martha Stewart Show and has done cakes for First Lady Mi-chelle Obama. They were invited to participate in Food Network’s Cup-

cake Wars in July, but were unable to do so because of scheduling con-

College of Natural Resources receives $4 million grant to change biofuels landscape.

Jessie HalpernStaff Writer

The College of Natural Resources has received a $4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to further their research in biofuels.

The College of Natural Resources is a member of the Southeast Partner-ship for Integrated Biomass Supply Systems and will be using the grant, along with several other universities, to conduct research and field work on deriving biofuels in a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly man-ner. Steve Kelley department head and professor in forest biomaterials, is serving as the primary investigator for N.C. State’s use of the grant.

The grant will be used to fund re-search on how to create biofuels from trees, and harvesting residues with the goal of eliminating the need to use corn to generate biofuels.

Although use of corn-based biofuels results in a slight decrease in green-house gas emissions, Kelley said there are negative aspects of using a food item as a fuel source.

“Corn for ethanol is grown on agri-cultural quality land, and if we want to make a fuel out of our corn, at some point that will impact the price of food. But we have to do better, in particular where we don’t compete with food,” Kelley said.

State Fair brings public awareness to University organizationsEvery year, N.C. State extends its community to the public at the fair.

Sarah DashowStaff Writer

For many people, the State Fair is a fun time for friends, family, rides, fried foods and candied apples, but for N.C. State, it’s much more.

The 2011 State Fair lasted 11 days, from Oct. 13-23, and had 1,009,173 visitors. For some professors and stu-dents, the State Fair is an opportunity to extend their research and education to the general public. Walt Wolfram,

associate professor in the English de-partment and director of the North Carolina Language and Life project, had a booth on North Carolina dia-lects, and David Tarpy, associate pro-fessor in the entomology department, had a booth on bees and beekeeping.

“As a land grant institution, I think it helps us connect with the public in a really concrete way. So people come up, they tell us dialect stories. They sit down, and they tell us words that they know,” Wolfram said. “In one respect, we can’t show you the record-breaking pumpkin, but we can sort of demon-strate how culturally rich North Caro-lina is in terms of its dialect heritage.”

Wolfram had student volunteers

working the booth and said most are very enthusiastic about being there and having a chance to talk to many different people. He said this excite-ment brings back a public energy to campus and inspires people to do more public education programs.

Tarpy’s beekeeping booth worked as part of a larger community display with apiary (bee yard) inspection divi-sion services.

“This is a great collaborative ven-ture that we have to volunteer and educate the mass public about bees and beekeeping, so our component is relatively small. We, in essence, sup-port the apiary inspection service in their effort to put all that on,” Tarpy

said. “I think it’s this collaborative relationship with the Department of Agriculture, and working in tan-dem on bettering beekeeping in the state on many different levels... so it’s a central and important annual event.”

Tarpy also had students volun-teer at the booth, and members of the N.C. State Entomology De-partment helped judge the honey and hive products in the State Fair competitions.

Through faculty-run booths and student volunteers, N.C. State is able to extend its research and

grant and associate dean for re-search in the College of Natural Resources, said the college has consistently been a worldwide leader in sustainable forestry and the production of industri-al utilization of wood. He said the grant is a chance for N.C. State to continue its leadership in the area of biofuels research, and also to power forward and make a bigger impact on a re-gional and national basis.

“What the USDA recognized in our proposal was not only a series of good ideas that made sense, but a series of educators that had excellent capabilities to plan this work and carry it out successfully,” Robison said.

Overall, researchers on the grant were not concerned with deforestation, given that in these systems, harvested for-ests are regenerated.

Also, giv-en that the majority of North Caro-lina’s land is forest, pro-viding ample opportunity to ma ke a good s t a r t on research, research-ers were not bothered that tree growth is a slower process than some agri-cultural biomass.

The grant has implications far beyond North Carolina,

according to researchers.Hasan Jameel, a professor in

forest biomaterials, said it has the potential to help national security.

“When we find ways to cre-ate biofuel in t he United States, we are also creating jobs in the United States. [In addition,] whenever we c a n m a k e b iof ue l i n t he United States, we are decreasing

a national security issue be-cause we will not have to rely on foreign countries for our oil,” Jameel said.

However, Kelley said levels

of greenhouse gas emissions would not see the heaviest impact. The greatest issues al-leviated by utilizing biofuels produced for transportation in the United States, he said, are imported oil and national security.

While several professors have been chosen to conduct the research, students at the graduate and undergraduate levels also have opportunities.

“In ever aspect of this proj-ect, there will be students in-volved,” Robison said. “Pri-marily graduate students will be working on the detailed science, engineering and the public outreach, but there will also be opportunities for undergraduates to conduct re-search and for fieldwork public outreach.”

development due diligence,” Pharr said. “McDonald’s would never do this.”

Students eating Chick-fil-A at the Atrium Monday weren’t sure if they would make it to Cameron Village.

Danny Ocean, a junior in political science and business entrepreneurship, said he eats Chick-fil-A most days.

“I probably won’t go over [to Cameron Village] because I live on Vanderbilt,” Ocean said.

Chelsea Brown and Kather-

ine Atkinson, a freshman in de-sign studies and an freshman in middle school math education, respectively, said they and their friends eat Chick-fil-A on cam-pus at least four times a week.

“We will probably go over and check it out,” Brown said.

They said transportation

and money would be issues because they didn’t have cars and Cameron Village wouldn’t take meal plans.

“We might go there once a week instead of four times a week,” Atkinson said. “I defi-nitely see the potential for it becoming a hangout spot.”

flicts. Their current location

was appropriate for their initial start three years ago, but due to their current suc-cess, they have grown out of their Franklin Street loca-tion. They have little space, no coolers and limited park-ing for their workers, who often have to arrive to start the baking day very early in the morning.

Sugarland is reconsider-ing resigning the lease on Franklin Street. New park-ing regulations by the city of Chapel Hill have made business tougher. They hope to have a decision made re-garding the status of the store on Franklin Street very soon.

If they are to move and not expand, they will be welcoming all of the cur-rent 26 employees to work at the new Raleigh location. Regardless of the move or expansion, they hope to hire around 15 to 20 new mem-bers at their new location, several of whom they ex-pect to be NCSU students. However, they expect most of the pastry chefs and ge-lato makers to continue on with them to their Raleigh location.

Ryan has currently hired extra baking staff in order to train them at the current location before the split or the move occurs.

With the new location

being twice as large as the cur-rent location, Ryan conveyed her great excitement about the new store. She hopes to also be able to experiment and offer a potential brunch menu over the weekend at the Cameron Village location along with their current products.

Both Ryan and her husband traveled to Italy and learned to make gelato under various tra-ditional gelato maestros. Ryan still writes every gelato recipe and then trains her two gelato staff members to recreate her recipes precisely.

Her pastry chefs all have strong backgrounds with de-grees from renowned culinary institutes.

“The cake decorators both have art degrees, so we have a knowledgeable staff,” Ryan added.

“Each four ounce serving of gelato made at Sugarland has around 90 to 140 calories, whereas Coldstone’s four ounce servings contain around 400 calories, so this is definitely a healthier alternative,” Ryan said.

Ryan said she is not worried about competition from Good-berry’s or The Cupcake Shoppe

near the new location. “Nobody does what we do,”

she said, “and once the cus-tomers taste our products I am sure they will be coming back for more. I believe we have no competition.”

Christy Holdsclaw, a fresh-man in psychology, said she was looking forward to the store’s arrival.

“I love cupcakes and gelato, and Cameron Village is pret-ty close, so I am very excited about their opening and will definitely be trying it out,” she said.

The new location is expected to open beside Priscilla of Bos-ton in Cameron Village some-where between Valentine’s Day and April 1. Katrina also mentions there will be a grand opening party with lots of free products, as they are prepared to start off with a big bang.

John Pharr, senior vice president for Regency, said, although only paperwork is left, nothing is set in stone however, because the costs in-volved haven’t been laid out yet. He said he has seen deals fall through this late.

“She is still in that vital dis-covery phase. We’re hopeful.”

education to the general public in addition to promoting the University by association.

“The State Fair has a very long and close connection to N.C. State....The State Fair re-ally began as an exhibition for agriculture, and N.C. State has a long history of agriculture,” Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Thomas Stafford said.

Stafford added that with a location so close to campus and with people coming from all over the state to visit, many may decide to come over and visit campus.

Since the State Fair is one of the top attractions in North Carolina, it is a great opportu-nity for students, faculty and staff to interact with the gen-eral public on a level they may not have access to normally.

“So they come to ride the rides, but maybe they’re walk-ing around the agricultural booths...or they see the fact

that our food science people are the ones judging contests, and just little different things that any time you can put your name out there the better be-cause that audience is not nec-essarily looking for N.C. State or looking for any university in general,” Wood said, “and just kind of ‘Oh that’s who does this and that’s who does that. Oh, and they’re just down the street. Let’s drive through and see what it looks like.’”

Held during the State Fair ev-ery year, NCSU’s Open House on Oct. 15 brought in more than 8,000 visitors, according to Stacy Fair, director of the E. Carroll Joyner Visitor Center,

although she says the date has more to do with convenience, application deadlines and high school fall breaks than the presence of the State Fair.

“Open House, because it’s for prospective students, we always want to have it at a time when it’s optimal for them to visit and a lot of folks come to the fair anyway, but then we also look at when the SAT and ACT are being held,” Nicole Wood, director of communication, said.

“All those factors fall into place, and it makes for a good turn out at the event,” Fair added.

ChiCk-fil-a Quick facts:Two stories:A first for Chick-fil-A, the Cameron store will have two floors. A winding staircase and and elevator will be included. To get food upstairs, a dumbwaiter will be available.

Windowless drive-throughThe store will feature two drive-throughs, called reverse drive-throughs. Since Regency, Cameron Village’s managing company, didn’t want a visible drive-through, a conveyor system will carry food out to drivers. Food will travel over the

car on the way to the driver side window.

Outdoor seating:The fountains and landscape will surround outdoor seating on the ground level while new upper-level outdoor seating will feature views of downtown.

Historic downtown feel:The building isn’t like normal stucco Chick-fil-A’s. It is all brick made to look like a historic North Carolina downtown. Large, curved windows will be on the upper level, in keeping with that style.

Lot’s of chicken:The Cameron Village store will

have the largest kitchen ever for the chain. Both floors will be around 8500 square feet whereas normal Chick-fil-A’s have half that--and only one floor. The upper level will be almost completely seating with no kitchen.

{ }Our view

President Barack Obama announced Friday that by the end of Decem-

ber, the remaining U.S. troops stationed in Iraq would be brought home. While some see this as an obvious politi-cal stunt to aid his re-election campaign, this act should be seen for the merits of it, rath-er than for its motives—the troops are coming home.

Many students on campus have friends or family mem-bers who were deployed to Iraq. When they have returned, some have welcomed them home with joy, others with tears in their eyes. When Presi-dent George W. Bush deployed troops to Afghanistan and then to Iraq, no one could envision the impact this conflict would have on our country.

Now, eight long years later,

the troops are finally being brought home and the end of this war is at hand—or so we think. Many believe this war was not necessary, but only an overreaction to the attacks on Sept. 11. The U.S. military presence in Iraq will not cease, however. We will remain in Iraq to ensure its peoples’ free-dom, as well as our own.

Is this truly the right way to go about it, though? Will our generation be able to salvage something from this foreign policy disaster?

Master Officer John Walls, a current Raleigh Police Depart-ment police officer, discussed the differences between the war in Iraq when he went in

2003 and then again in 2004.Walls was in Iraq when the

U.S. liberated the country in 2003, and said people were ex-cited to be liberated from Sad-dam Hussein’s oppressive rule.

However, in 2004 when the U.S. failed to secure the borders in Iraq and insurgents took over, Walls said it was a totally different war. He describes the experience as “not how it was meant to be,” claiming, “this wasn’t the war I left in 2003.”

While this war is officially over, according to the cur-rent administration, the end is much farther off. Students of all majors will one day be in positions to influence our country’s foreign relations

with the Middle East.Members of the ROTC will be

going to those places, strongly influencing how we deal with these situations. Broken rela-tionships with other nations can be mended; however, our generation will be the one to do it.

Obama may be doing this solely to ensure his re-election in 2012. If his renewed bid for office succeeds, so be it. It is merely another four years; however, by then our future leaders will wield greater influ-ence, helping them to deal with the aftermath of the Iraq War. Let us hope through awareness, knowledge and understanding, we may cultivate such leaders who will help our country out of the mess their predecessors got it in.

Removal of troops ushers in a new era The FacTs:President Barack Obama announced troops would be withdrawn from Iraq by the end of this year.

Our OpiniOn:The removal of troops does not remove our presence, and future leaders from our generation will need to take up the slack. We should be prepared.

Live to fight another day

Almost three years ago this week, I wrote my very first story for this

paper. The story concerned a ballot proposition in Califor-nia, which attempted to codify

the definition of marr iage in that state’s constitution.

The now in-famous Propo-sition 8 was a major setback for the same-sex cause in California, a nd de e ply stung many in

the national GLBT community.At the time, it was billed as

a monumen-tal joust in the same-sex bat t le . Big money flowed in from both camps and the f ighters stepped for-ward to tap gloves. It was a prizefight.

I n t h e lead-up to t h at s pa r-ring match, I spoke with Justine Hollingshead, director of the Center for GLBT Pro-grams and Services.

To this day, I remember her sense of optimism. It wasn’t necessarily for North Carolina or N.C. State in particular, but it was this sense that justice was about to be delivered. The pending feeling of deliverance was palpable.

The fight began the morn-ing of Nov. 8, and the turnout of registered Democrats was spectacular; euphoria and victory should have filled the air. But alas, a stunner quickly emerged. The same voters who sent the nation’s first African-American president to the White House weren’t so keen on the idea of Bob and Lou — give us Sue, they said.

And so it was that Proposi-tion 8 was adopted.

It was the very first thing I thought of when I saw those in-human images of hate speech last week. As much as it would be comforting to sugarcoat the reality, there is still a large portion of the population that views the GLBT community as perverted and unworthy of most societal privileges.

Likewise, this conservative

population isn’t a minority. North Carolinians will visit the polls next year, and will likely deliver a condemna-tion of same-sex marriage in the form of a constitu-tional amendment to abol-ish it permanently.

The writing is on the wall — the glimmer of light that burned so brightly just a few years ago is being snuffed out in a cloud of intoler-ance.

It’s not to say advocates of the GLBT cause are moot or the tide will remain forever low. This is simply an acknowledgement that the Bible Belt activists are successfully weaving their

version of natural law into the fab-ric of this state.

They are handing the GLBT move-ment body blows it mustn’t forget. The most foolish action at

this moment would be to pretend as though these offenses didn’t sting. They were heinous and they should bite. The advocates of this cause need to take this feeling and remember it. They should remember it now, and when our current populist sentiment writes the same-sex measure into the North Carolina Consti-tution.

T hese i s sues a ren’t amendable, but the fight against the Defense of Marriage Act, the federal legislation barring most same-sex privileges, is just beginning. This is the true battleground and the only place this movement is go-ing to realistically live to fight another day.

That’s where this bottled disgust needs to exert its emotion — the one place where universal change can waterfall to the rest of the country.

My letters from the warThe United States invaded

Iraq in March of 2003. This conflict has been

ongoing for eight years.In August 2010, Obama de-

clared the U.S. mission in Iraq to be over. 16 mont hs after his an-nouncement, t he t roops

will be coming home. President Barack Obama announced Fri-day, Oct. 21 that all the troops would be out of Iraq by the end of the year.

One of my best friends joined the military after 9/11 and was deployed in Jan. 2011. He hasn’t been home since being deployed. His original reason for doing that was so he could use his built-up leave to return home early. Their excerpts are from letters I’ve received from him since he left our hometown for basic training and then de-ployment overseas.

Aug. 2010: “Maybe I won’t get deployed. The president an-nounced three days ago the mis-sion is over. I think I’m going to fill out transfer papers. I want to get back to North Carolina. Alaska is too cold.”

I was the happiest per-son when I got this letter. I thought I was going to get my best friend back. I spent a lot of time praying that he would be coming home after this letter. However, about a month later, I got another letter that tore my heart right out of my chest.

Sept. 2010: “Babe, I found out today. I’m deploying in January. I was hoping and praying I was coming back home to you and Mama. Take care of Mama for me. She loves you, you know. Go visit her and talk about me.”

This was the first letter I got from him where I actually

broke down and cried. I’ve al-ways been close to his mother. After we both got our letters from him saying he was de-ploying, we spent hours talking about all the “what ifs” that go with deployment.

Feb. 15, 2011: “It’s hot during the day. It’s cold at night. It’s dry. It’s dusty. I miss you. I miss home.”

One of the biggest things he talks about in his letters is how hot it is during the day.

June 2011: “You know what’s bad, a lot of times I think about just why I’m here and not home. The only answer I have is, it’s my job. . . It’s crazy. I got in the biggest argument the other day. Someone that I’m stationed with got mad at me because I said this is my job.”

Through his letters, I saw him changing from his happy-go-lucky self to someone that isn’t happy. Talking to him on the phone shortly after I got this letter, I found out why he was being cynical.

“I watched my best friend over here die in front of me, and there wasn’t a thing I could do about it. I had to send his family his last letter. . .”

July 2011: “We lost 2 more yes-terday. I don’t want to be next. I miss you. . . If I do get killed over here, you’ll get one final let-ter from me. Promise me you’ll always remember me, but don’t wait for me. I’ll watch over you.”

The first time he sent me a letter that said that, I broke down crying. That’s when it really hit home for me that he might not ever come home.

That’s what terrifies anyone who knows soldiers stationed overseas – the idea they may never come home.

According to CNN ’s home and away graphic, in Afghani-

stan since March 2003, 2,761 soldiers have lost their lives, with another 14,534 more wounded. In the same time period in Iraq, there have been 4,798 deaths and 32,213 wounded soldiers.

So many families have been torn apart because of the Iraq War. The numbers don’t tell the full story. As citizens, we have no idea how many people make up the families of those soldiers who have died or been wounded. Personally, I’ve had close connections with three soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“I’m on my way. I can’t wait to see you and be able to spend days on end with you at home.”

This is the letter I’m im-patiently waiting for. The fact that he will be home before the end of the year keeps me going day in and day out. One of these days all the dreams we’ve talked about in our letters to each other— the future jobs, the dreams for a farm — will all come true. I know for a fact neither of us are the same as we were in August 2010 when we found out he was deploying, but we’ll be stronger for what we’ve gone through.

I’m glad the troops are coming home. My deepest sympathies to the families who have lost loved ones. I can only imagine what you’ve gone through.

Musician Regina Carter plays her unique style of jazz in Stewart Theatre.

Young LeeStaff Writer

“Stop. Listen. Look,” John Brown, a musician and friend of Regina Carter, said during the jazz discussion before the acclaimed jazz violinist’s per-formance on Saturday.

Stop. Listen. Look. As Brown said that night, these are ac-tions that are essential to the appreciation of jazz. They should be performed in that order, because music is not meant to be enjoyed with the eyes, but with the ears.

“When it comes to music, music is actually not some-thing you see, it’s something you hear,” Brown said. “[If] somebody would hand you a piece of sheet music , ‘Oh yeah, here’s the music’. No, that’s a piece of paper with notes on it. Music is what you’re going to hear. Music is what you’re going to feel.”

According to Brow n , f luidity, vi-brato, impro-visation, double stops and col legno are techniques that hold power. They are impossible to

capture with words, but were elements of the music to listen for in Carter’s performance.

Carter delivered these tech-niques. In addition to the amazing technical skill, her music aimed to bring unity and help spread understand-ing. This is just one of the many powers jazz can hold.

This is Carter’s fourth time at N.C. State, and she was also able to give a round table dis-cussion on behalf of the Wom-en’s Center before her perfor-mance. Later, she also signed copies of her albums.

“[The band and I] are excited to be back here [at N.C. State]. We love playing at this venue,” Carter said.

Using her training in the Suzuki method, which relies on a musician’s hearing to play desired notes, and her innate desire to listen, Carter believes she has been specially

equipped to create music that unites. She creates a unique fu-sion of mu-sic that can break down the barriers people de-velop.

“ F o r m e [creating music t hat uses inf lu-ences f rom many differ-

ent traditions] is a natural part of what I do and it’s a natural process,” Carter said. “I think

a lot of it comes from the way I was trained, from the Suzuki method, so hearing and imitat-ing [is natural]. Every sound that has come to me since I was a child is still in [me]. It’s like watching children that come from a household that speaks multiple languages, and they don’t speak for a long time and when they do, they put all the different languages together as

one.”Playing music from her lat-

est album, Reverse Threads, as well as music from her previous projects, Carter and her Re-verse Threads band combined musical traditions from Africa, Latin America, and Detroit. This allowed audience mem-bers to recognize the common humanity in different tradi-tions, something Carter values.

“I think it’s important be-cause it helps to promote tol-erance,” Carter said. “It helps to knock down some of the ignorant barriers that we put in place sometimes.”

For many audience members, it was this unifying effect of the music they found the most ex-citing.

“I loved that aspect of being able to bring music from all

different areas together.” said Jessica Lucas, a junior in com-munications and Spanish. “It really made for an exciting con-cert. It flowed, but you didn’t get bored because there were new elements introduced in every song.”

Jazz violinist uses music to break down cultural barriers

Latest entry in ‘Paranormal Activity’ series brings some of the best scares yet.

Jordan AlsaqaArts & Entertainment Editor

After a disappointing sequel last Halloween, the Paranormal Activity franchise has returned for a third outing. Considering the repetition of scares and the inferior storyline in last year’s installment, the big question was whether or not the latest in the series could recapture the originality and strong story of the first film.

Fortunately, Paranormal Ac-tivity 3 manages to blow away expectations, providing a solid sequel and one of the best hor-ror movies of the year.

Paranormal Activity 3,taking the series back 18 years, follows the protagonists of the previous films, Katie and Kristi, when they were little girls and first had contact with the demonic entity that haunted them in the previous two installments. The events are filmed courtesy of Dennis, a wedding videogra-pher and the live-in boyfriend of the girls’ mother.

The events in the movie be-gin as usual for the series, with the first 15 minutes setting up the characters and introducing important plot points and loca-tions. Soon, the first moments of strange happenings lead to Dennis setting up cameras around the house to try and find out exactly what’s going on.

It’s here that Paranormal Ac-tivity 3 begins to break from the established formula developed in its predecessors. Though there are some familiar scenes, most of the scares on display are clever and inventive, and bring a new level of ingenuity to the franchise.

The creativity is in no small part thanks to the unique camera work. Unable to film enough of the house with the few cameras he has, Dennis disassembles an oscillating

fan and attaches his camera to it. This creates the effect of the shot slowly panning back and forth between the living room and kitchen, a set-up that ratchets up the tension beyond anything the stationary cam-eras can allow.

Furthermore, the demon proves more active this time around, with numerous events occurring in the daytime as well as the late hours. This “anything goes” nature of the scares in the film is refreshing, and keeps viewers on the edge of their seats more than ever.

The increased activity of the demon also allows for a higher number of scares throughout the film, which in turn leads to a faster escalation in the amount of action. Unlike the previous two films, the bom-bastic moments far outweigh the subtle ones. As such, the last half hour of the film pro-vides the greatest amount of sustained tension and dread yet in the franchise.

The film also continues to expand on the franchise my-thology, answering questions

first posed in the second movie, and setting up new plot points for further sequels to explore. This may seem like little more than sequel bait to some, but the revelations remain intrigu-ing throughout.

Of course, the film wouldn’t succeed without a strong cast, and Paranormal Activity 3 has managed to build a strong one. As always, the series has attracted some of the best un-knowns in Hollywood, actors who are able to sell the “found footage” concept by coming across as genuine, believable characters.

Particularly impressive are the two girls who portray the young Katie and Kristi, who possess an immense amount of talent for such young ages. Both girls manage to portray terror and humor, depending on what each scene calls for.

On the subject of humor, Paranormal Activity has al-ways managed to garner a few laughs between its scares, and the third entry sees the best balance between the two. The 80ssetting allows for jokes

at the expense of Back to the Future and the Teddy Ruxpin doll, as well as more conven-tional sexual humor.

Overall, Paranormal Activ-ity 3 is another strong entry in the franchise that has come

to define the “found footage” horror sub-genre. If the last two entries in the series didn’t interest you, then there’s noth-ing here that will change your mind. However, for fans of the series, Paranormal Activity 3 is

a great step forward, and will likely leave you counting down the days until the next film.

Library exhibit encourages visitors to start drawing.

Ankita SaxenaStaff Writer

Any student or faculty mem-ber walking through the special collections room at D.H. Hill Library is unlikely to miss the latest exhibit. Everyone who takes time to pause and look will be treated to a display of illustrations.

Aptly named “The Urge to Draw, the Cause to Reflect,” the exhibit allows people to record their emotions and memo-ries by drawing. The display consists of black-and-white sketches varying in sizes and augmented with quotations. Topics range from the “wonder of flying” to the importance of “honoring all ideas, little and small.”

These sketches are the work of Marvin J. Malecha, dean of the College of Design.

“Everybody can draw from that show,” Malecha said. “Ev-eryone can get into a mode of meditating, a quiet place, where they can enjoy being with themselves, knowing themselves, even in the middle of a world full of chaos and ex-pectations.”

In the middle of the exhibit, the library has provided a note-pad and pencils, as well as an iPad with a drawing applica-tion, for anyone who wants to follow Malecha’s example and sketch something.

The exhibit came about as a result of a long standing part-nership between Malecha and Susan Nutter, director of Li-braries at N.C. State.

Malecha said he feels the exhibit reveals a very personal side of his career. The draw-

ings on display have never before been revealed to the public. The quotations have been taken from Malecha’s notebooks, which he has used throughout his life to write down both his inspirations and his personal ref lections. One of the pieces, “Angels in the Architecture,’”was a piece drawn for his daughter.

The exhibit was curated and edited by Molly Renda, Exhib-its Program Librarian. Renda, who has a background in fine

arts, has been a graphic design-er for 30 years. This is the first exhibit she has designed for the library.

“I took most of my cues directly from the book of the same name Malecha has worked on with one of his students, Tania Allen,” Renda said. “It was not possible for me to include every bit of text, but I did take most of the quotes he noted down and notes he had made to himself. He always carries something with him to

draw, and the result is draw-ings from his meetings with the AIA, drawings made on nap-kins at dinners, even drawings done when he travels and is at the airport.”

According to Renda, Male-cha’s message is that drawing is an essential activity that transcends all disciplines, and the very action of “brain, eye, vision and marking by hand” teaches us how to see better.

“I have been drawing my whole life, as long as I can re-

member, but these sketches span the last 27 years of my life, with the earliest one dating to the early 90s,” Malecha said of his work. “The drawings have been done by me in moments of contemplation. I do not re-member how long each draw-ing took, as I lose the concept of time when I start drawing, but for each one, I can remember the temperature at the time, the smells that were surrounding me.”

To anyone who aspires to

have the same artistic talent as Malecha, his advice is to “keep drawing, no matter what.”

“Drawing is about drawing,” Malecha said. “Sometimes it will turn out to be good, some-times not. But I advise people to keep doing it, even on bad days. As with everything, it will get better only with practice.”

For everyone else, “The Urge to Draw, The Cause to Ref lect” will remain on dis-play throughout the end of the semester.

College of Design dean displays drawings

Students gathered in Carmichael Gymnasium last Tuesday for a chance to experience modern dance.

Nishanth CoontoorStaff Writer

Modern dance was born out of a rebellion against the styles preceding it, particularly the ballet. In a classical ballet, a dancer has to focus on the technique, the costumes and the shoes that are essential for a performance.

Modern dancers, however, focus more on expressing themselves.

Those students who gathered Tuesday in Carmichael Gym got a chance to see the kind of moves modern dance allows.

“Every teacher approaches modern dance differently,” Re-nay Aumiller, an independent dance artist and the class in-structor, said. “And in doing so, they bring some of their per-sonal selves into it. My dances use a semantic-based release technique. A dancer uses the entire body.”

The release technique at-tempts to help the dancer rid themself of any extrane-ous tension. It uses somat-ic principles such as the Bartenieff, Alexander, Yo g a a n d Body Mind Centering.

“ I c o n -centrate on the skeleta l system,” Au-mil ler said. “I encourage my students to let their ‘muscles drip to the floor.’”

Aumiller’s dances begin with some breathing and concentra-tion exercises.

“It’s a centering process,” Aumiller said. “I try to bring their focus to the present. We are often lost thinking of something that happened in the past and of something that may take place in the future. This exercise brings them to the present.”

For Agee Taylor, a sophomore in fashion and textile manage-ment, Aumiller’s dance form makes her more aware of her body.

“If someone were to teach a dance move,” Taylor said, “I would merely learn how to fling my body along the movement. It’s different here. I am think-ing about the movement. Renay is telling me to ‘spiral from the waist,’ or ‘step on my right leg up to the ceiling,’ or to simply ‘curve, toss it up, unwind and melt into the floor.’ I am think-ing of where the movement has to initiate.”

Aumiller said she agrees with Taylor’s interpretation of what modern dance requires.

“Our bodies have a natural functional alignment,” Au-miller said. “We are giving ten-sion to it. I try to help dancers find their natural alignment by making them conscious of

their body.”“Every

dancer danc-es with an in-tent, purpose and a con-tent.” Ashley Walls, a first-year graduate student, said. “A d a nc er explores the rea l ity and existence. We sea rch f o r s o m e

truth and express it through our movements. While doing a triplet move, for instance, we are going down in the move-ment. But, Renay points us to think we are going up.”

“I experiment with the illu-sion of order amidst chaos,” Aumiller said. “Chaos and or-der exist together everywhere. We have to f ind a middle ground. It’s all about where we can find it, and when we intend to use it.”

Overall, Aumiller said her enjoyment in teaching modern dance comes down to the expe-riences of the students.

“It does not matter to me if my dancers get their aes-thetics right,” Aumiller said. “Through my dance, I help them reach their ‘Aha!’ mo-ment when all things make sense. I derive satisfaction through this.”

Modern dance provides outlet for creative expression

ben TrAn/TechniciAnDean of the College of Design Marvin J. Malecha discusses his work with junior in design and architecture Bryan Gaudio at D.H. Hill Library Oct. 15. Malecha said he has been drawing every day and he gets lost in his drawings so he never knows exactly how long his works take to complete.

will reach nationals.”Parkison, who is relatively

new to the sport, finds it un-usual that so many of her fellow teammates were selected, but is excited to share the experi-ence with so many others on her squad.

“It’s a good feeling, espe-cially knowing I have a lot of my other teammates with me,” Parkison said. “I’ve only been playing since the spring of last year. Knowing I’m representing N.C. State with 10 of my other teammates on such a level is pretty much unheard of.”

The women’s rugby team will return to action on Saturday in a round-robin tournament against Elon and UNC-Greens-boro at the Method Road fields. Parkison thinks that fans wishing to attend should ex-pect more of the same that the Pack has provided so far this season—domination.

“I usually just go in thinking we’re going to beat everybody and we’re going to work our butts off,” Parkison said. “It doesn’t matter if you’re play-ing the number one team in

the nation or someone no one’s heard of; you just have to give everything you have every single game. I really try not to listen to what whatever website says about whatever player or whatev-er team because UNC was supposed to be No. 9 and we absolutely destroyed them. The rankings mean nothing to me. I go into the week-end expecting to win and hopefully just continue this streak of stomping people out and of demolishing the competition.”

basketball practice gym, which appears similar to a NBA-level gym.

The tennis team’s indoor practice court is also some-thing worthy for the eye to behold. I’m not even a casual tennis player, but the smooth turf used in the building would make any tennis experience en-joyable. More upgrades are also on the way for NCSU athletics. If you have gone by Carmichael Gym in the past year or so, it’s been evident that the athletics department has been work-ing to upgrade Casey Aquatic Center. State has only five home matches on its schedule, so the assumption is that the revamp of Casey is aimed at increasing this number.

The J.W. Isenhour Tennis Complex is also getting an up-grade to its game-time court, which will include a plaza at the entrance, an electronic scoreboard and improved seat-ing. These enhancements were promised to an old recruit, but didn’t come into fruition until after he graduated.

However, there’s a big prob-

lem in this equation; none of this is adding up to conference championships or even enough notches in the win column to hold up a pair of pants.

Yes, the football team did make a tiny ripple on the na-tional scene by taking home the Champs Sports Bowl last season, but it still didn’t bring home an ACC title or even make it to Charlotte for the title game, which could have granted them a Bowl Champi-onship Series birth and truly put the program under the national spotlight. Maybe it would’ve even stopped beloved ex-quarterback Russell Wilson from leaving.

Men’s basketball has been mediocre at best, in spite of the program playing in a profes-sional arena that doesn’t even sell out most of its games. This may have even had an influence on the Ryan Harrow decision.

I have no intention of com-paring our programs with that of our blue neighbors down I-40, but they have been win-ning despite a lack of facilities serving as the program focus. You can see from television presentations of Duke bas-ketball that Cameron Indoor Stadium looks like a sweat-

box, and is even trumped in advancement by the gyms of some private high schools in this country. I’ve also vis-ited the Dean Smith Center at UNC, and trust me, it’s not that much better. Maybe having a professional arena for men’s basketball still doesn’t solve the problem.

Women’s basketball reached the ACC Championship game in 2010 while earning a birth in the NCAA Tournament, but it still plays in an arena that looks like it’s stuck in the mid-70’s, despite a renovation in 2005 due to fire damage.

The golf program might be the only one living up to its fa-cility upgrades, with the con-struction of the Lonnie Poole Golf Course on Centennial Campus that was designed by golfing legend Arnold Palmer. The men’s program has gar-nered seven top-10 finishes this season and the women have also snatched up seven, as well as a national ranking.

Yes, I do understand that having quality facilities is an important factor to some pros-pects in their decision making process. However, with almost billions of dollars being thrown around by the University to

make all of these upgrades, which have yielded almost nothing in return, something obviously isn’t adding up in this equation.

NCSU WRFC takes down UNC-A and Tennessee.

Josh HyattSports Editor

The undefeated Wom-en’s Rugby Football Club (WRFC) continued its domination on Saturday, bringing the team’s season record to 5-0.

Returning from a large-margined victory over the UNC Tar Heels, who the Pack defeated 65-10, the WRFC continued their steamroll through Ashe-vil le, where they faced squads from UNC-Ashe-ville and Tennessee. The Wolfpack women first took out Asheville, who they de-feated 57-7. The Volunteers became the next victim when State defeated them without allowing a single point, resulting in a 61-0 landslide victory.

Nine different players scored a total of 20 tries between the two games.

Junior in animal science and scrum-half Crystal Martinez attributed the team’s effective victories to their stalwart de-fense.

“We just play really hard defense,” Martinez sa id . “We made our tackles, we rucked over the ball and just kept the ball in our possession. We played offense the majority of the game, and that made a big de-fense.”

For a team that averages over 50 points a game and has only allowed 40 total points in five games, it is evident that some-thing significant has happened to unite the team. According to junior in political science and forward Courtney Parki-

son, the catalyst that makes the team’s already present cohesion even more potent comes from new head coach Matthew Cart-wright.

“A lot of it comes from our natural connection, but his in-sight and intelligence regarding rugby have helped so much,”

Parkison sa id . “He notices the little things that people in America don’t know because rugby’s not as big over here as it is

in England or overseas. He’s really teaching us the ins and outs of the tiny details of the game that other teams aren’t getting, because he has so much experience.

“He keeps continuing to give us more where other coaches would tend to stop; they do what’s enough, he goes above and beyond.”

Cartwright has done quite a bit more than just help the women’s rugby squad to one of their best seasons ever. The team has also caught the eye of rugby officials on the state level; 11 of the 23 players called up for the North Carolina All-Stars Team came directly from the NCSU squad. Cart-wright has no doubt in his mind that the team will not only finish the fall season undefeated, but also qualify for nationals in the spring.

“This goes to show the amazing work that the squad have been doing since I arrived,” Cartwright said. “Only a few players have been selected in previous years, and now I have 11 of my players in the squad. This is brilliant for the club and for N.C. State. From here, we carry on building, and it makes me believe even more that my squad

Amerson named ACC defensive back of the week The national leader in interceptions, field corner David Amerson added to his gaudy pickoff numbers with a pair of interceptions against the Cavaliers en route to being named the ACC’s defensive back of the week. Amerson returned his second interception 12 yards for a touchdown to ice the victory for the Wolfpack, which was N.C. State’s first interception return for a touchdown this season. A sophomore cornerback from Greensboro, Amerson also recorded six tackles and returned a kickoff 25 yards. Amerson now has eight interceptions on the season, tying the school record, set in 1937 and tied in 1938, both times by Art Rooney. Amerson now has three games with two interceptions in 2011, and has done so in each of the Pack’s last two games.

Game time for Red & White Spirit Game against UNC set for 12:30 p.m. N.C. State’s November 5 game against the UNC Tar Heels has been scheduled for 12:30 p.m. and will be televised on the ACC Network. North Carolina (5-3, 1-3 ACC) will be coming into Raleigh seeking to beat State for the first time since 2006, and N.C. State (4-3, 1-2 ACC) will be playing at home for the first time since October 8 against Central Michigan. The game against the Tar Heels will also be the Red & White Spirit Game, where fans are asked to show their Wolfpack spirit by wearing a red or white shirt that corresponds with their section. Even sections are to wear red, odd sections are to wear white and all students are to wear red.

did You know?Heading into this Saturday’s game against Florida State, the Wolfpack and Seminoles are on the opposite end of the spectrum for one key stat - State leads the ACC in turnover margin with a plus-9 while FSU is dead last in the conference with a minus-8 margin.

Clemson remains atop this week’s Power Rankings, after taking its place among the competitors for the National Championship following a convincing win over North Carolina, which kept them undefeated on the season. After a fast start to the 2011 campaign, Georgia Tech has now lost two straight games to division opponents, making its quest for the Coastal Division crown a difficult one. Virginia Tech appears to be the team to beat in the Coastal, which would set up a rematch with Clemson in Charlotte for the ACC Championship.

PowerrankingsSTORy By matt hayes

1. #5 clemson (8-0, 5-0 acc; last Week 1) – The Tigers continued their impressive run with a 59-38 win over North Carolina, and Dabo Swinney has Clemson at 8-0 for the first time since the 2000 season. While a National Championship birth isn’t out of the question, the Tigers will need to win-out and have three of the four teams ahead of them lose to sneak their way in. (10/29 @ Georgia Tech)

2. #12 virginia tech (7-1, 3-1 acc; lW 2) – After a lackluster first half, the Hokies came back and trounced Boston College, led by the stellar play of running back David Wilson. Virginia Tech also seems to have found its groove on the defensive side of the ball, holding its past two opponents under 17 points after giving up 35 to Miami. (10/29 @ Duke)

3. miami (4-3, 2-2 acc; lW 5) – It seems like new life has been found in Miami, as the Hurricanes have impressed in their past two contests. Running back Lamar Miller continues to show why he was in early season Heisman discussion, and the defense was lights out, holding a potent Georgia Tech offense to seven points while forcing three turnovers. (10/27 vs. Virginia)

4. florida state (4-3, 2-2 acc; lW 4) – The Seminoles have finally showed that they can beat quality opponents. After starting the season with wins over Louisiana-Monroe and Charleston Southern, Florida State has now beaten two ACC opponents to bring its conference record to 2-2. While losses to Clemson and Wake Forest have all but eliminated them in the Atlantic Division, finishing the season at 9-3 is still a realistic possibility. (10/29 vs. N.C. State)

5. georgia tech (6-2, 3-2 acc; lW 3) – What happened to the high-powered offense that ran its way to a 6-0 start? Apparently those days have passed, because the yellow Jacket rushing attack has left much to be desired the past two weeks. Against Miami, Georgia Tech fell flat, accumulating only 211 total yards, far below its season average. The Rambling Wreck’s BCS hopes have quickly come crashing down in just two short weeks. (10/29 vs. Clemson)

6. Wake forest (5-2, 4-1 acc; lW 7) – While it hasn’t always been pretty, the Demon Deacons continue to find ways to win. The offense stalled against Duke, but was still able to get a big play from wide receiver Chris Givens to pull out the one point victory. Cornerback Merril Noel has been one of the biggest surprises in the nation, leading the country in pass breakups and anchoring a secondary that has been key to Wake’s success thus far. (10/29 @ North Carolina)

7. n.c. state (4-3, 1-2 acc; lW 10) – This week’s win over Virginia could mark a turning point for the Wolfpack, as State looks to rebound from a disappointing first half of the season. Mike Glennon has looked capable in recent weeks, but limiting turnovers could be the difference between playing in the postseason or starting the offseason early. (10/29 @ Florida State)

8. north carolina (5-3, 1-3 acc; lW 6) – North Carolina’s season is quickly taking a turn for the worst. After a 5-1 start, the Tar Heels have lost two straight, as Brynn Renner has struggled under center. The normally solid UNC defense was torn apart by Clemson, and the offense turned the ball over six times; not exactly a recipe for success. (10/29 vs. Wake Forest)

9. virginia (4-3, 1-2 acc; lW 8) – This week was a defining moment for Virginia football, and not in a good way. The Cavaliers could have continued to build momentum and pushed for the Coastal Division title after a big win against Georgia Tech. Instead, they fell flat, losing to N.C. State at home. (10/27 @ Miami)

10. maryland (2-5, 1-3 acc; lW 9) – The Terps came into this season with high expectations and have provided nothing but letdowns. Their Labor Day victory over Miami seems a distant memory, and quarterback controversy continues, as Danny O’Brien has been reinstated at starting quarterback. (10/29 vs. Boston College)

11. Duke (3-4, 1-2 acc; lW 11) – The Blue Devils dominated the second half against Wake Forest, but came up empty handed and were unable to get their first win against the Demon Deacons since 1999. The likelihood of making their first bowl game since 1994 continues to dwindle. (10/29 vs. Virginia Tech)

12. boston college (1-6, 0-4 acc; lW 12) – After another loss, the Eagles still have yet to win a conference game and are mathematically eliminated from the conference championship race. Their best chance to avoid a winless season in the ACC comes next week against fellow cellar-dweller, Maryland. (10/29 @ Maryland)

Spending unfathomable amounts of money for facility upgrades may not be the answer.

Jeniece JamisonSenior Staff Writer

It’s no secret we have the best athletic facilities in the Atlan-tic Coast Conference. Everyone has seen the striking statue of the howling wolves in front of the Murphy Center. If the

statues haven’t caught your eye yet, how about jour-neying inside Carter-Finley Stadium and taking in the br a n d n e w

Jumbo-Tron that’s almost impossible to go unnoticed? How about the fact State plays men’s basketball in a profes-sional hockey arena at the RBC Center,or whatever name it will have in the future? Even the track and soccer facilities have received upgrades to expand seating, add concessions and-make for a more fan-friendly experience.

There have also been some face-lifts to Wolfpack facili-ties which most would consider “under the hood,” or not com-monly seen by the average fan or student. The majority will notice the polished Murphy Center looming beyond the south end zone. However, the lesser seen interior contains an entire museum of all things N.C. State football, which has received accolades from those inside and outside the pro-gram.

The Weisinger-Brown build-ing tucked away next to Wood Hall is also a top-notch facility housing the athletics depart-ment and most of the locker rooms for many non-revenue sports. When you take the first step into the building, there’s another gaudy and unneces-sary wolf statue, and this one even comes with fur and a pretty collar. Aside from that, the building also holds the
