With the crucial November election less than 50 days away, the Obama and Romney campaigns are doing everything they can to win over one of the most important voter demographics: students.
Young voters played a key role in the elec-tion of President Obama in 2008, when he won 66 percent of people ages 18-29, com-pared to Sen. John McCain’s 32 percent. In 2008, young voters made up 18 percent of the total electorate, making college-aged stu-dents some of the most sought after votes in this election cycle.
At the university, there are multiple student run politi-cal groups that represent a variety of perspectives, all trying to get us involved during this critical time.
In recent years Wake Forest has brought vari-ous speakers to the cam-pus including Vice President Biden, former White House advisor David Gergen and most recently MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry, who spoke to students last week about the importance of civic engage-ment.

OGBSame-sex marriage is one of the most
hotly debated social issues in this election. The issue hits particularly close to home in North Carolina, given the passage of Amendment One last May, an amendment that banned the legal recognition of same-sex marriages and unions in the state constitution. According to a June CNN Poll, the majority of Americans support same-sex marriage. It is clear, though, that same-sex rights still face considerable opposition.
At Wake Forest, however, same-sex rights have taken small steps forward, evidenced by the moving tale of Susan Parker and Wendy Scott. Thirteen years ago, the Board of Trustees attempted to prevent Wake Forest Baptist Church from conducting the same-sex union of Parker and Scott in Wait Chapel. The church and campus
communities rallied around the two women, and the decision was eventually reversed. Parker is now a pastor at WFBC, the church that so warmly welcomed her and her partner.
Today, WFBC is one of the most open and affirming Baptist churches in the nation and the only one to have two lesbian pastors, Parker and Angela Yarber, preaching to a diverse congregation of all sexual orientations. When we asked President Hatch about the issue, he responded, “I think, in a sense, we’re beyond that,”
suggesting that the university has become more progressive. Hatch also reminded us, however, that WFBC is an autonomous institution.
Same-sex couples continue to grapple with institutionalized inequality. Like any civil rights movement, however, small steps are needed on the grassroots level to enact change. Wake Forest has seen its fair share of transformations with the recent establishment of the LGBTQ center, the widespread student opposition to Amendment One and, of course, WFBC’s commitment to equality and acceptance.
Sports editor Ty Kraniak voices a dissenting opinion in regard to the topic addressed in this editorial.
While trying not to sound indignant, I do not support same-sex marriages. Although I have gay friends, I believe that marriage is a union between a man and a woman in love. Furthermore, I do recognize Wake Forest Baptist Church’s commitment to offer support to homosexual members of our community. Moreover, the LGBTQ center does a terrific job as a resource for students. But, the buck needs to stop here. Wake Forest University should remain in its traditional Baptist roots. While I do not disagree with having lesbian pastors, Wait Chapel — where students sit for lectures — should not be the place where same-sex unions are performed. When making decisions regarding gay rights, Wake Forest Baptist Church and the university need to understand both those who support the cause as well as those who do not.

HUNGER READS THEMORNINGPAPER, TOO.
Omaar Hena is an English professor with a focus on postcolonial literature. He was an undergraduate at the university from 1995-99, received his master’s at University College Dublin and then took a year off of school be-fore receiving his Ph.D. at the University of Virginia.
Tell me a little bit about your educational background.
At Wake Forest, I was split between be-coming a French major, a math major, pre-med and English. I was all over the place. I went to the Worrell House with Dylan Johnson, who used to be a professor here, and I completely fell in love with Irish lit-erature and poetry.
I took a few classes with Scott Klein, the current department chair, on Joyce and 20th Century British literature. So I finally decided on a major in English, and went to Ireland for a year to get my master’s degree in Irish Literature. After that, I took a year off.
Do you think there is value in taking a year off?
Absolutely. All of my friends in college
that I think of today as happy, successful and gratified with their lives took time off in between undergraduate and graduate school.
There is so much pressure on young peo-ple to have it all figured out when they’re in college.
To me, the purpose of college is really to just drink deeply from education and to do what you love, no matter what it is, and then to take the next four years after that to stop, reflect and, as my mother said, to dream. Let yourself dream it. Think about what you really want to do.
If you take the time now, after college, to really think hard about what you want, to put off going to law or business school, you go into the future with a full passion. That might mean trying some things and not lik-ing them. That’s fine.
If you don’t take four years now after college, and I hate to be catastrophic —
I’m thinking of someone becoming King Lear when they’re 45 or 50 and thinking, “What am I doing with my life?” — You start thinking, “Why did I bother becom-ing this?” I think it’s important for people to take that time now.
What aspect do you enjoy most about the university?
I’m able to teach the classes that I love to teach, and the classes that I teach are in-separable from what I write, research and think about so there’s a beautiful symmetry between teaching and research that I find wonderfully gratifying.
And, on top of all that, I have wonderful colleagues, generous colleagues, both in our English department as well as in our histo-ry, religion, political science that I can talk to about ideas. It’s truly an academic and scholarly community.
What is the value of a literature course for college students?
Really, what I love about literature is that it is constantly challenging us and provok-ing us and questioning us. The power of that is that it then forces us to ask how our world is made, and if our world is made in ways that are unequal, it challenges us to imagine more equal ways of inhabiting our world.
That, to me, is power of literature. It’s de-familiarizing. It’s estranging. It’s provoking. It’s disturbing. It teaches us to be just a little bit restless and a little bit uncertain about the world that we inhabit.
There’s none of this, we’re going to be in harmony with the world around us. It’s a traumatic encounter. I think there’s value in that.
Its power and its powerlessness resides in its refusal to give us any guarantees about our world.
In other words, we have to turn to litera-ture in times of crisis, and yes, sometimes literature is used as a form of domination and not delusion.
But whatever literature offers us is always without any guarantee. It’s unverifiable. It is not going to give us a doctrine for how we should live our life because then it would be propaganda and we’d really be in trouble there.
What advice would you give to a college student that is either afraid of taking an English class or isn’t confident in their writing?
I’m a huge fan of immersion. I’ve had such amazing experiences with
students who come to me and say, “I don’t
do English.” And then I try to welcome them in and say this is going to be challeng-ing, it’s going to be tough, but it’s also going to be quite exhilarating.
The threads that connect Milton in the 17th century can show up in Jamaica Kin-caid.
The two seem to be worlds apart, but sud-denly they enter into conversation with one another, and students begin to see these connections across time about why culture matters, why art matters.
So this is to say, come in. Give it a shot. Immerse yourself in it. Because you’re going to find out things about yourself and about the world that you didn’t know was there that’s been there all along, trust me. You just haven’t seen it yet.
What is the value of discussion?
Literature only comes to life in conversa-tion with the dead, right?
Or, in our conversation with people that have written things down, that are not there before us. So, in the classroom, we are bringing the text to life.
Does literature belong to the writer or the reader?
It doesn’t belong to the writer. The mo-ment that someone writes something down and sends it into the world, they’ve given it up. They’ve sacrificed it. It belongs to two domains, at least. Literature belongs to lit-erature, it belongs to its conversation with other writers and other tests and other art-works, other histories.
Literature is an ongoing conversation with history, with philosophy, art, with other lit-erary texts.
But literature can’t have that conversation by itself. It needs readers. It needs us to see how literature is always the history of the present.
Favorite book of the moment?
Never Let Me Go. It’s beautiful. It’s devas-tating. It really is about ethics and class in England. The characters in the book are the less than human, the “other,” but you can even think about them as an embodiment of the artwork.
It’s what happens when we no longer have an artistic view of the world, when we just treat people as objects that can be expunged, can be done and over with.
I think of it as about the relevance of art to a lived life.
Really, what I love about literature is that it is constantly challenging us and provoking us and questioning us.

tempt to raise the level of student inter-est in thepolitical process. Now that both the Republican and Democratic National
Conventions have concluded, the next two months will shape the race. At this point the two campaigns are in full swing, with televi-sion and radio ads saturating the airwaves, endless voter registration drives and con-
stant phone calls soliciting donations and volunteers. Despite the crazed frenzy that this election is becoming in its fi nal weeks, Wake Forest students seem to be embracing the opportunity to make their voices heard and have a true say in the election of our leaders on the local and national level.
Groups such as the College Republicans, College Democrats and Young Americans for Liberty all off er ways for students to get involved and become a part of the po-litical process. With an election of this im-portance, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that there is no shortage of volunteers.
At virtually every school event that has taken place over the last few weeks on cam-pus, student volunteers have been register-ing voters, holding phone banks and can-vassing around the Winston-Salem area.
“We have been registering voters for North Carolina as well as coordinating with the Offi ces of Civic Engagement to shuttle students to voting booth,” College Republi-cans President James Rex said.
“We tell our members that meetings are just the beginning,” College Democrats executive Gerard Neely said. “We really fo-cus on voter registration and spreading the message that the president is fi ghting for
students, each and every day.”North Carolina is a state that both cam-
paigns desperately want to carry in Novem-ber. � e most recent Public Policy Polling survey shows the race is a dead heat with 49 percent of likely voters supporting the president and 48 percent supporting Rom-ney, completely within the margin of error. For many students, the specifi c issues seem to be the true impetus to getting involved, rather than specifi c candidates.
Not surprisingly, student concerns here at Wake Forest seem to mirror those of the general public. “� e most important is-sue will be the national debt… it will be a turning point in the upcoming election,” freshman Dean Furst said. Upon speaking with multiple students, it is clear that the economy is the main issue driving a great deal of the political activism on campus.
However, some of the other issues brought up included the environment, civil liberties and student loans. Students have a rare op-portunity this fall as a coveted block of vot-ers in a highly contested state. With a tight race between the president and Romney, the election is an all-out sprint to Novem-ber 6, and it is clear that students have a huge role to play.
same-sex members of the church that re-quest a religious ceremony performed by a pastor at WFBC. Although almost as often, they are same-sex couples that are not mem-bers of WFBC but may be from nearby lo-cations and are in the search for a Baptist church that welcomes and performs these types of gatherings.
Susan Parker, head of pastoral ministries at WFBC, says she has performed dozens of same-sex union ceremonies both in Wait Chapel and Davis Chapel and off -campus. Angela Yarber, pastor of preaching and wor-ship has been at WFBC since January 2011 and has performed four same-sex unions.
Parker described the church’s evolution from traditional to “open and affi rming” as going “bit by bit.”
According to Parker, the fi rst openly gay member of WFBC was Joe Foster. In the late 1980s, he decided to join the church but only under the condition that he could be openly gay and his partner could attend alongside him.
He spoke to the pastors at the time and he was welcomed with open arms. Foster went on to hold many leadership positions in the church including the Board of Deacons. He is still a member today.
“He was the fi rst to keep the issue in front of the church,” Parker said. “He was a real mover and shaker.”
Parker joined WFBC in 1995 after a pe-riod when she questioned her faith. She grew up as a part of a small Southern Bap-tist church and always imagined becoming a minister.
“� en I grew up and became more aware of my church’s teaching that women are not supposed to be ministers,” Parker said. “Also, as I became more aware of my sexual orientation, I realized I had to leave there. It was unsafe for me.”
After joining WFBC, Parker was encour-aged by fellow members that she should pursue a graduate degree from the univer-sity’s divinity school, which had been re-cently founded in 1999.
Parker was a member of the fi rst class to graduate from the Wake Forest School of Divinity in 2002. After that, she took a job at an open and affi rming church in Greens-boro before returning to Winston-Salem to fi ll the position of associate pastor. She is currently in charge of Pastoral Ministries.
� e fi rst time that a same-sex union took place in Wait Chapel occurred in Septem-ber 1999 between Parker and her partner, Wendy Scott. � eir marriage followed a heated controversy that spanned weeks and involved nearly everyone at the university at that time. A 2001 documentary, Union
in Wait, directed by Ryan Butler, chronicled the debate. Eventually, Parker and Scott were allowed to celebrate their union in Wait Chapel.
WFBC is one of 11 local religious es-tablishments that are open and affi rming, alongside Temple Emmanuel, St. Anne’s Episcopal Church and Universalist Unitar-ian, among many others.
“I moved here from San Francisco, and I was fl oored when I learned that there were that many,” Yarber said.
Yarber is also openly lesbian and currently the pastor for preaching and worship at WFBC. She joined the campus in January 2011 after getting her Ph.D. at the Uni-versity of California – Berkeley in art and
religion. “I came here for a whole variety of reasons, but for one, the reason of it be-ing an open and affi rming church and has been since the 1990s, which is pretty big,” Yarber said.
“Coming here means we are the only Bap-tist church in the country with two lesbians as head pastors, which is something that I am really proud of, but that causes a lot of controversy.”
Yarber regularly gets hate mail every month. She also keeps a stack of “nice cards” on her desk, including a drawing by a local four year-old that depicts two women holding hands and reads “God loves you.” Yarber’s partner teaches Christian ethics at the divinity school, and the two of them are in the process of adopting. Both Yarber and
Parker conduct union ceremonies, but nei-ther sign marriage certifi cates.
It is important to note, however, that oth-er members of the clergy do.
“I see it as more of a separation of church and state than a gay-straight issue,” Yarber said. “I am clergy and I am happy to do the religious ceremony. And, I think if and when gay folks can get married, I think I am still going to do that.”
Parker holds the same optimistic view on gay marriage becoming legal in the near future. Both Yarber and Parker enjoy their roles in the Wake Forest Baptist Church.
Check back next week to fi nd out more about the fi rst same-sex union in 1999 and the re-lationship between WFBC and the university.

In the wake of the impending Fisher v. Texas hearing, the university and others across the nation are assessing the impact of affirmative action and its potential repeal.
The university held a special lecture on Sept. 17 in Worrell Hall given by Wendy Parker, entitled “Rethinking Race in Uni-versity Admissions.”
Parker, the James A. Webster Professor of Public Law and previous member of the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, assessed the current state of ra-cial considerations in the university setting through the example of Fisher v. Texas, a case to be heard by the United States Supreme
Court this coming October. Parker began her lecture introducing the dual nature of the Constitution with regards to equality.
Parker affirmed that the framers were quite “wimpy on the issue of race,” includ-ing the word equality without explicitly de-fining it.
Parker went on to explain how this has led to an incomplete definition of the govern-ment’s responsibility in racial diversity re-lated issues.
Nowhere is this fact better explained than in the Fisher v. Texas case, in which student Abigail Fisher was denied admission to the University of Texas at Austin and, in her view, denied based on her racial status.
The upcoming decision could result in the end of affirmative action, impacting univer-sities across the nation. Acorrding to Parker, the decision will be 5-3, with Justices Rob-erts, Scalia, Alito, Thomas and Kennedy in the majority.
The opinions of students attending were generally split on affirmative action. Some supported an emphasis on increasing diver-
sity and racial blindness in admissions while other felt the opposite.
“Diversity has definitely improved since I have arrived,” senior Brandon Monteith said. “Overturning affirmative action will not affect us much.
The students we admit do not need affir-mative action [to get in]. Wake Forest seeks more than just diversity.”
However, freshman William Carter some-what disagreed.
“There would be race-blind admissions, [if affirmative action was repealed] which I believe is the best way to get students with the best purely academic records,” Carter said when asked about the implications
of overturning affirmative action. “But, it does mean there will be less interesting and unique student bodies.”
Parker ended the lecture with an assess-ment of racial diversity in America in the present day.
“We are just playing games with it. I wish we would have a more direct approach to race in our country,” Parker said.
Data from the 2011-12 academic year ex-emplifies the university’s ethnic make-up. Out of 4,768 degree-seeking undergradu-ates, approximately 4.8 percent are report-ed as Hispanic, 5.2 percent are reported as Asian, 7.6 percent are reported as African American, other ethnicities such as Pacific Islanders, Multi-Racial and American Indi-ans at 4.4 percent, and nearly 78 percent are reported as White.
Director of Multicultural Affairs Alta Mauro also commented on the state of di-versity at the university.
“There is a lot of energy devoted to diver-sity at Wake Forest,” Mauro said. “We all learn from other people.”

Our school is home to at least 17 diff er-ent religious organizations, 15 of which are Christian.
� e diversity of Christian ministries raises the question, what makes each group unique?
I set out to answer that question in a recent four-month long study of fi ve focus groups, the fi rst one being the Baptist Stu-dent Union (BSU).
Walking into the Baptist Student Union’s lounge for a Tuesday night meal, I could not help but notice the group’s family-like feel.

� e atmosphere is reminiscent of a � anksgiving feast than their weekly com-munal dinner.
� e food is Southern in style. BSU members chip in 3 dollars to help
pay for the meal, whereas all newcomers eat for free.
In an interview with one of the Baptist Student Union’s leaders, I asked about the features that make the community so attrac-tive to its participants.
He responded, “I think at a certain point students realize that BSU is a family. I know that is what happened for me, and that’s why I stuck around.”
Whether BSU is more similar to a close group of friends or a tight-knit family is up for debate, but what is certain is that BSU members hang out with each other quite frequently.
� ey do activities such as going to the movies, ice-skating, barbecuing, and play-ing sports.
Nearly every night contains some form of social or religious activity.
� e Baptist Student Union is defi nitely a Baptist group at a formerly Baptist univer-sity, but events are open to everyone — cer-tainly regardless of denomination and sur-prisingly regardless of religion.
A few atheist students and even some Muslim students have attended the organi-zation’s meetings.
One participant explained BSU’s toler-ance and diversity by saying, “Generally speaking students in the BSU have been more open to having people for who they are and not saying you need to change your-self fi rst.”
� e students’ openness is refreshing, and they certainly make newcomers of all kinds feel welcome and invited. When I ques-tioned BSU members about their group’s potential shortcomings, the answers were unanimous: low numbers.
High rates of study abroad and lackluster turnout frustrate leaders and newer partici-pants alike. A fi rst-year student commented, “� ere aren’t as many people as I hear there have been in the past.”
Although the leadership team views size as an area of potential improvement, the BSU’s intimacy is not altogether a bad thing.
Members agree that their small size con-tributes to the all-important family-feel, an attribute diffi cult for larger ministries to ob-tain.
Perhaps one BSU leader put it best, “It’s about forming relationships with people.”
BSU embraces diverse communityYou can’t complain if you had a chance to make your voice heard and you didn’t take it. It’s your own choice.
“Baptist Student Union promotes variety among its diverse member population
“All right, there are 47 per-cent who are with him, who are dependent upon gov-ernment, who believe they victims . . .”
-GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, discussing the segment of the population whom he believes are reliant on the government and will vote Democrat.
““No, no, no. It’s not anything classifi ed.”
-State department spokes-woman Victoria Nuland, clar-ifying that a meeting between the United States and Mexico did not involve a secret plan to invade Canada.
“
“The world needs more Chris Stevenses.”
-Secrety of State Hillary Clinton, commending the late Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens, who was killed during an attack on the Ameri-can embassy.
“
� e past week has certainly been one that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney would like to forget, or at least erase from voters’ memories.
A campaign that has sought to focus sin-gularly on the dismal state of the American economy and the looming debt crisis was forced to turn its attention to foreign policy last Tuesday when American embassies in Egypt and Libya were attacked in violent protests triggered by an anti-Islamic video depicting the prophet Muhammad in a number of degrading roles.
� e Romney camp was on the off ensive as soon as the news surfaced, condemning the Obama administration’s willingness to apologize to its enemies and not protecting American interests abroad.
� is line of criticism has been the core of Romney’s foreign policy to this point, mainly stemming from the chilled relation-ship the Obama White House currently shares with Israel.
While there are plenty of questions on substantive foreign policy decisions that President Obama has made, the Romney campaign’s choice to continue its accusa-tions of an apologist foreign agenda under these circumstances proved to be ill-in-formed.
Romney and his aides released an initial statement before the scale of the crisis was even recognized.
Its message centered around a tweet pub-lished by the American Embassy in Cairo that condemned the video and its contents.
� is measure was taken as a preemptive action to try and quell any potential pro-tests. � is form of crisis management, a de-cision not directly ordered by the Obama administration, quickly became fodder for Romney.
Unfortunately, the ramifi cations of the video in the Middle East were far more tragic than originally reported. In fact, it was later learned that Ambassador Chris Stevens and three of his staff ers were killed in an attack on the American Embassy in Benghazi, Libya.
Instead of backing off his statements, Romney doubled down on his assertions that the Obama administration contin-ues to apologize for America at a rally in Jacksonville, Fla. Regardless of political af-fi liation, the decision to politicize a tragedy
such as this one is a terrible show of leader-ship. � is is quality that Romney has shown throughout his career.
� is international crisis presented an opportunity for the Romney campaign to show poise in the face of pressure and to ex-ercise its ability to unite Americans around fallen patriots. Instead, Romney appeared opportunist and detached and came under fi re from both sides of the aisle.
� e week only got worse for the presi-dential hopeful as reports surfaced on a potential rift between senior advisors in the campaign.
At a time when both campaigns can-not aff ord negative publicity, the Romney campaign has found itself facing its own “Lehman Brothers moment,” a reference to Sen. John McCain’s decision to suspend his campaign in 2008 after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, a move deemed highly “unpresidential.” � is led to the announce-ment that the campaign would begin to provide details for what policies in a Rom-ney White House would look like.
� e announcement was another response to criticisms that the former Massachusetts governor has been too vague in outlining his vision for the country.
On Monday, secret recordings of the presidential candidate at a private fund-raiser surfaced in which Romney says that 47 percent of Americans view themselves as victims and are dependent on the govern-ment for support, and that “it is not his job to worry about those people.”
Furthermore, he went on to make a joke that he would have a better shot at winning
the election if he was of Latino descent and that 95 percent of life is settled if a person is merely born in America. Each of these statements alienates himself from parts of the American electorate that will be vital for victory in November.
Mitt Romney is not a bad man, nor is he a bad candidate.
His economic track record speaks for it-self. He is among the most qualifi ed men to handle our national debt problems based on his time at Bain Capital and in saving the 2002 Winter Olympics.
However, he continues to show more and more that he is a manager, but not a vision-ary. He did not mean any disrespect to the service of Ambassador Stevens, and he is fully within his right to challenge president Obama on his handling of unrest in the Middle East.
Romney’s lack of timing and tact in ad-dressing a highly sensitive issue, however, has made him seem unprepared and unable to handle such crises with the necessary subtlety.
I expect him to recover and to regain his footing in this race, but he must recover quickly. President Obama is already riding a post-Convention bounce in the polls.
� ese events will only solidify the gains he has made in critical swing states. He must show the ability to truly understand the plight of the American middle class.
Otherwise, he will fi nd himself in the same position John McCain found himself in going into the fi rst debate in 2008 — preparing for inevitable defeat in Novem-ber.
So here is a situation for you: You don’t have class until 11 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, so you just head to the Pit for a quick breakfast before class starts.
� e place you will likely walk into will have one (I repeat, ONE) of the stations at the hot bar with food, and when I say food I mean instant scrambled eggs and frozen sausages.
� e line for this will likely wrap all the way around to the desserts, same for the omelets. (By the way, the lines are due to the unequal ratio of students to campus dining options.) � ose are your two options
really, unless you want to pay 7-odd dollars for cereal or fruit, which I certainly do not.
So you wait in line for about 20 minutes (class begins soon) to get some hot break-fast, and it turns out they are out of every-thing, and they aren’t making more so there is no breakfast for you today.
And oh, you are way too early for any lunch items, even a salad.
� is food vacuum has become a real problem for you, and you are left with ei-ther wildly overpaying for a stale bagel or going hungry until the Pit deems it lunch-time.
I asked a select group of my friends at other universities of various sizes across the nation and they do not have this limbo period between breakfast and lunch where they can’t get food.
� eir campus dining options always have heaps of food waiting for them at all hours of the day, with no lines to wait in and only disappointment at the end of those lines. My one friend deemed his main cafeteria at the University of Tennessee as “downright reliable.”
� e other day, when I asked a Campus Dining representative in the Pit why this situation happens here, he failed to give me any sort of answer and just shrugged me off .
I would like the Campus Dining Services
to know that students have classes all day long. If I don’t have to wake up before 9 a.m., I am certainly not going to just so I can make it in time for the breakfast hours at the Pit. � is isn’t George Orwell’s 1984.
I have my schedule and the Pit needs to operate around that, not the other way around.
Students are placed between a rock and a hard place because we are forced to use Pit swipes with the way our meal plans are structured or else risk wasting massive amounts of money at the end of the semes-ter, and then we are also expected to be okay with not getting any real off erings between the hours of 10 a.m. and noon.
So back to this not-so-hypothetical situ-ation. You can’t get a late breakfast in the Pit so you decide to go to the Benson Food Court for lunch. Big mistake.
I really wanted Chick-fi l-A the other day for lunch, so I thought, “Oh I can wait in line. It’s not so bad.”
... It took literally 30 minutes. � is was all to try to use an Old Gold Swipe, because
now we have to use those up too. So many meal plan requirements, such long lines and such massive frustration.
Most people would think of the Sundry as a place to go to and quickly grab some sushi or a bottle of water. Nope. � e line will literally be out the door during the nor-mal lunch time.
I understand that there are certain hours where dining areas will be more full than other times, like from noon to 1 p.m., but this timing pattern creates an atmosphere of hunger. I can’t eat breakfast, and then I can’t eat dinner. � is is unless, of course, I eat breakfast at 9 a.m. and then skip lunch, only to have dinner at 4 p.m.
� e whole school wants students to be healthy but this situation is not allowing students to easily follow healthy eating pat-terns. � e knowledge that the lines are ri-diculously long or that the entire hour you have between classes will taken up by wait-ing in line is discouraging.
I do acknowledge that Campus Dining Services does try to meet students’ needs. � at is why I implore them to fi x this daily pitfall. I have a whole semester of this course schedule and I hate walking by the Pit and piling up meal plan swipes because I know there is nothing good in there for me before I go learn something in class.
Pit must accommodate morning diners

Midwestern Point of ViewNotre Dame, to most, represents
everything a college athletic pro-gram should: sportsmanship, aca-demics and tradition.
But after 17 years of being a mem-ber of the Big East conference, on Sept. 12, Notre Dame decided to move to the Atlantic Coast Confer-
ence to begin a new tradition. Even though, geographically speaking, Notre Dame is nowhere near the Atlantic coast, the fit is a good one. The ACC is one of the top academic conferences in the nation, besides the Ivy League, with schools such as Wake Forest, Boston College, Duke, Miami, Virginia and North Caro-lina.
Notre Dame fits perfectly into this mold with its stellar academic repu-tation. The university’s lacrosse pro-gram, one of the top in the nation, will feel right at home competing with schools like Virginia and Duke, who also rank highly.
Notre Dame’s basketball program, headed by Mike Brey, has been a team to be reckoned with and will make an interesting transition to the
ACC. The Big East, like the ACC, is also very competitive in basketball. However, Notre Dame chose to re-main independent in football.
The football program, operating as an independent, schedules games with various teams each year in-cluding USC and my beloved Wol-verines. Realistically speaking, the Irish will remain an independent for quite some time. But, this is not the way it should be. To ND nation, buy into the ACC and completely become one of us. There is no half-way on this.
Even though the move to the ACC is an exciting and new one for the Fighting Irish, it signals a dark cloud looming over college athletics.
Junior soccer player Katie Stengel might want to find a bigger trophy case.
The All-American forward has earned numerous accolades in her two seasons at Wake Forest, but perhaps none are of greater significance than her most recent accomplishment.
On Sept. 8, Stengel and the U.S. Wom-en’s U-20 National Team defeated Ger-many 1-0 to win the 2012 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Tokyo, Japan. She became the second Demon Deacon to capture gold in the U-20 event, joining defender Kaley Fountain who accomplished the task in 2008.
The Melbourne, Fla., native recently returned to campus proudly sporting her gold medal, a symbol of eight months of dedication that resulted in the ultimate prize.
She, along with 20 other players, began the process of competing for the World
Cup in January of this year, a commit-ment that caused her to miss most of the spring semester. However, it was all worth it when the final whistle sounded and the scoreboard had the United States on top.
“We really got to know each other and became an actual team,” Stengel said of her experience.
“To go over there, compete against the best in the world, and finally be able to say we are number one is awesome.”
The path to glory was not, however, without bumps in the road. The U.S. squad battled adversity throughout the

Legendary coach steps away from game one year after his last national title
As a fan of college basketball, it is tough to watch one of the all-time greatest head coaches, in my opinion, step away from the game.
Jim Calhoun, the head coach of the Univer-sity of Connecticut’s men’s basketball team, announced his retirement from the game on Sept. 13.
Love or hate Calhoun, every sports fan can appreciate and admire what he did throughout his career as a head coach. Over a coaching career that lasted 40 seasons, Calhoun had an impressive record of 873 wins and 381 losses. This leaves him fifth on the list of most wins by an NCAA coach. I don’t think it would be wrong for me to say that Calhoun would have

Deac NotesFreshman basketball player Devin Thomas to undergo knee surgery
One of the men’s basketball team’s newest recruits, the freshman forward recently under-went successful knee surgery and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks of action.
The procedure, performed at the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, cleaned up loose frag-ments in Thomas’ knee.
“We want to be proactive with this to get him ready for the season,” team physician David Martin said. Thomas is expected to be fully recovered for the upcoming season.
Kristinsdottir to play in World Amateur Team Championship
Women’s golf star Olafia Kristinsdottir will play for her home country of Iceland in the upcom-ing 2012 Women’s World Team Championship.
The tournament, which features 72-stroke hole play, will begin Sept. 27 and continue through Sept. 30 at Gloria Golf Club in Antalya, Turkey.
Kristinsdottir, who has recorded five top-20 fin-ishes, ended her sophomore season with nearly a four stroke improvement from her freshman year.
She will look to build on her impressive play by adding some valuable experience this fall.
Freshman Krysta Wangerin is in the midst of a transition.
Coming to college just a month ago, Wan-gerin is moving forward to balance both aca-demics as well as field hockey at Wake Forest.
On the field, Wangerin is certainly no novice as the freshman is tied for second in goals on the team.
What are your thoughts on the games against Appalachian State and UNC on Sept. 14 and Sept. 16, respectively?Appalachian State was a huge win for
us. We had a bad loss to Northwestern and needed to boost our confi dence back up. We played strongly against North Carolina. We had our lulls, but we defi nitely
played well and it didn’t count as an ACC game, so we can get them when we play them in Chapel Hill in a week and a half.
What’s been it like to have such a strong start to your freshman season?It’s been awesome, but it’s defi nitely
been a lot of work. � e team is great, we all push each other a lot so we can all be our best. When you’re not picking up your slack, they’re always there to push you to be the best.
What is the team’s expectations for your upcoming games against the
Maryland Terrapins on Sept. 22 and the Delaware Blue Hens on Sept. 23?We’re really excited to face both of them.
We need another ACC win and there’s a lot of competition. We’re going to work really hard this week on both off ense and defense, but especially on putting the ball in the cage because that’s our main prob-lem right now.
How has the adjustment been from high school fi eld hockey to college? I guess it’s been diffi cult, but more than
anything it’s just been diff erent. It’s been a huge step for me. It’s really a lot of fun and I love the challenge. Our coaches are expecting a lot out of the freshman class, so it’s been a great transition for all of us.
What is it like to balance academics and athletics as a freshman at Wake Forest?You really have to learn time manage-
ment. Everything really keeps you on your feet. Being on the hockey fi eld is a relief to
get away from the classroom and the tu-toring. It just makes it all the more desir-able and fun to be out there playing.
How do you like playing for Coach Jen Averill? Jen is awesome. She is so much of the
reason why I’m here and why I wanted to come here. She continues to push us re-ally hard. She’s always on my back, and I like that. It makes me always push myself harder and she’s a big reason behind that.

� e Wake Forest fi eld hockey team tallied its fi rst shutout of the season by defeating Appalachian State 8-0 on Sept. 14. � e Demon Deacons dominated off ensively with 19 pen-alty corners and outshot the Moun-taineers 35-4.
Senior Lizzie Rae set the tone early for the Deacons by scoring off of a defl ection from the Mountaineers’ goalie Sarah Anderson within the fi rst seven minutes of the game. Rae would post two more goals throughout the game to complete a hat trick.
Freshman Krysta Wangerin confi -dently read the fi eld and sent a pass to junior Kari Walkley in front of the cage. Walkley beat out the App State keeper to post her second goal of the season. From the right of the cage, junior Molly Murphy hit the backboard for an unassisted goal and Wake’s third point of the game.
Less than two minutes later, fresh-man Jess Newak posted her fi rst point of her collegiate career off of a defl ection inside the circle from teammate Wangerin.
Senior Lizzie Rae wrapped up the fi rst period with her second goal of the game with a strong shot from the top of the circle. � e Deacons headed into the locker room with a confi dent 5-0 lead.
Continuing the momentum into the second half, Rae sealed her third and fi nal goal of the game with an assist from freshman Jess Newak.
Less than 30 seconds later, Anna Kozniuk fed a pass to the Virginia Beach, Va. native Taylor Rhea for her second goal of the season.
After providing two assists earlier in the game, Wangerin posted her own goal with less than a minute remaining in regulation. Teammate Tyra Clemmenson directed a pass to Wangerin’s stick from outside of the circle to end the game 8-0.
“Appalachian State was a huge win for us,” Wangerin said. “We had a bad loss to Northwestern and need-ed to boost our confi dence back up.”
Splitting time in the cage, se-nior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Ruhf and freshman Valerie Dahmen were responsible for the shutout. Dah-men blocked the only shot from the Mountaineers.
� e Demon Deacons were off for 24 hours before returning to Kent-ner Stadium on Sept. 16 to play No. 1 North Carolina Tar Heels. � e matchup was not counted as an ACC game, but the two will meet again on Sept. 28 in Chapel Hill.
Keeper Kaitlyn Ruhf logged 70 minutes of play and tallied seven saves.
Carolina’s Charlotte Craddock posted the two points for the Tar Heels within 15 minutes of play. Craddock scored unassisted when she drilled a shot from the right side of the cage.
At 16:57, Tar Heel Kelsey Kolo-jejchick drove the ball to Craddock who hit the ball into the right side of the cage.
� e remainder of the period re-mained scoreless, and Carolina headed into halftime with a 2-0 lead.
In the second period, the Wake Forest defense shut down three of Chapel Hill’s penalty corner oppor-tunities in less than 10 minutes. � e Deacons remained off ensively de-termined and connected at 66:43. With a strong shot from the top of the circle, sophomore Anna Kozni-uk hit the backboard for the Dea-cons’ lone goal of the game.
Wake Forest (3-4) will open up ACC play by hosting No.4 Mary-land at 1:00 p.m. Sept. 22.

� e Florida State Seminoles war chant was heard blaring over the speaker sys-tem this past week at the Doc Martin Football Complex.Coach Jim Grobe wanted his players
prepared for the hostile atmosphere in Tallahassee, but the booming crowd of over 80,000 had little impact on the game. � ough the Wake Forest foot-ball team does a lot with relatively lit-tle, it proved on Sept. 15 it is not nearly up to par with the far superior program of Florida State. Consistently one of the nation’s top teams, the Seminoles outplayed the Demon Deacons in ev-ery possible way, resulting in a 52-0 blowout.“It was impressive watching them play
today,” Grobe said. “� is is a really, re-ally special football team.”Any momentum junior quarterback
Tanner Price and the off ense gained from their climactic victory over UNC was quickly erased by the Seminole de-fense. Price, who compiled a measly 82 yards through the air, managed to con-
nect with his favorite target, redshirt junior wide receiver Michael Campa-naro, only twice for eight yards. � e week before, Campanaro set a career high in receiving yards by eclipsing the 160-yard mark.� e running game did not fare much
better. Junior redshirt running back Josh Harris managed to rip off a 34-yard run, but totaled just 17 yards on his other 14 carries. Of the 56 total plays run by the Wake
Forest off ense, only an incredible 27 of them went for positive yardage. Per-haps the lone bright spot was that the Deacons did not commit a turnover on the day. � e aggressive play of the Florida State defense forced so many three-and-outs that Wake Forest barely had a chance to give the ball away.� e off ense converted just a single
third down opportunity on the day.“We need to prepare harder,” redshirt
sophomore wide receiver Brandon Ter-ry said. “We just have to stay at a steady medium and continue to work hard.”On the other hand, the Seminoles had
no issues scoring against the Demon Deacon defense. � eir running game led the way with an eye-popping 385 yards and four touchdowns.Senior Chris � ompson almost sur-
passed the 200-yard mark, piling up 197 yards on just nine carries. � e tailback broke his back against
Wake Forest in last year’s matchup and almost saw his career come to an early end. By the end of the fi rst half he had already extracted his revenge, scor-
ing touchdowns on runs of 74 and 80 yards, respectively.� ese scores put Florida State up 28-0
with 10 minutes still remaining in the second quarter. � at 15-minute period alone saw the Seminoles explode for 24 points and almost 200 yards on the ground.After another score early in the third
quarter, the Seminoles coasted for the remainder of the game, choosing to rest their starters. Coach Grobe chose to do the same,
allowing three backup quarterbacks to see time on the fi eld. Redshirt fresh-man quarterback Kevin Sousa, widely considered the heir apparent to Tanner Price, did not throw a pass but did reg-ister two rushing attempts.Unfortunately for the Demon Dea-
cons, it did not make much a diff er-ence who was on the fi eld. No quarter-back or running back that Grobe could scrounge up from deep in the roster had a chance of making a dent in the Seminole defense. In pitching a shut-out against Wake Forest, Florida State has now gone the fi rst three games of the season without allowing their op-ponents to reach the endzone.“You are talking about not only a tal-
ented team but a veteran, crusty foot-ball team,” Grobe said. “� is is a group of hard-nosed guys that are not going to beat themselves.”� e Deacons hope to rebound next
week against Army for homecoming weekend. � e game is scheduled for a 12:30 p.m. start Sept. 22.

Even after a relatively successful road-trip with a 1-0 win against Miami and a nail-biting loss to No. 1 Florida State, head coach Tony da Luz isn’t satisfied in his women’s soc-cer team.
“That’s the toughest trip in the ACC, but I’m not satisfied,” da Luz said. “We fought back [against Florida State] and I feel good about our competitive level, but I know we can play better than we did.”
On Sept. 16, the Wake Forest women’s soccer team hung with the top-ranked Semi-noles, but fell short in a 1-0 loss in Tallahas-see, Fla.
Wake Forest had seven corners in the game including three shots from senior defender Alisha Woodson, but the team failed to push a goal across.
Tiana Brockway scored the decisive goal for the Seminoles in the 23rd minute of the game off a cross from Jessica Price.
The Demon Deacons looked to respond minutes later with a shot by senior Jackie Logue, but was denied by goalkeeper Kelsey Wys.
Wake Forest would also have chances in the 52nd and 72nd minute, but could not get the ball in the back of the net.
“You don’t get a lot of chances in the ACC, but we generated four or five quality chances in the game,” da Luz said. “We had a couple of good headers, we fought back, but just came up a little short.”
The goal against Florida State was only the fifth goal allowed in 11 games for the Demon Deacons, who moved up to the No. 13 spot in the NCAA Women’s Soccer Rankings on Tuesday. This season, Wake Forest has out-shot opponents 155-57, a statistic extremely indicative of their fantastic defense.
“Our defense has gotten to a really good level. We have experience in the back, and they work very well together,” da Luz said. “It’s something we can rely on and take a lot of pride in, so we just got to show up on the attacking side. We got to be better.”
This season, Wake Forest plays five ACC teams currently in the top 25 of the coun-try. Florida State, Boston College, Duke and Virginia Tech all sit in the top 10 best teams in the nation. The Demon Deacons will play No. 4 Boston College at 7 p.m. on Sept. 20, and Maryland at 1 p.m. on Sept. 23 with both games at home. Coach da Luz real-izes the importance of these two upcoming
games, especially with many alumni return-ing for Homecoming Weekend.
“Boston College is scoring a lot of goals: they are a dangerous team with one of the best midfielders in the league (senior Kris-ten Mewis), if not the country,” da Luz said. “Maryland has a lot of young players with plenty of speed up top, so we have to put away our chances because there aren’t going to be any. It’s going to be an exciting week.”

In road trip to Florida, the No. 14 Demon Deacons beat Miami 1-0, but lose to No. 1 Florida State 1-0
qualifying round, needing extra time to defeat a deter-mined North Korea squad and suffering a 3-0 loss to the same Germany team it conquered in the final.
“Leading up to the finals we had experienced a lot of different things,” Stengel said. “We had to deal with more [adversity] than [Germany] did. I think we learned from it and adapted well when it mat-tered most.”
Although Stengel did not score a goal in the tour-nament, something she has done 35 times for the Demon Deacons, she had the opportunity to start the Gold Medal match against Germany.
In front of 31,114 fans, Stengel played 60 of the 90 minutes of the match.
“It was definitely unique,” Stengel said. “I have never done anything like that before.”
With a tinge of gold, Stengel returns to a Wake Forest team that posted an impressive 6-1-1 record in her absence, just in time for the
Deacs to open ACC play. The squad begins conference play in Florida with
games against Miami and Florida State, considered by many one of the toughest road trips on the ACC slate. Yet, the addition of Stengel brings a new level of experience and talent to an already strong Wake Forest squad.
“I am really proud of how strong the team competed and how they got some big wins,” Stengel said.
“We have a great record going into ACC play and that is definitely going to prove really important later in the season.”
The strong start looks even more impressive when you consider what the All-ACC forward means to this Wake Forest squad.
A preseason All-American, Stengel set school records by scoring 19 goals and 46 points last season, besting the marks she set her freshman year.
Her 46 points led the ACC, making her the first player since North Carolina’s Mia Hamm in 1992-93 to lead the ACC in scoring two consecutive seasons.
Stengel, who has 83 career points, needs just four points to pass Sarah Kozey (’05) as the school’s all-time career leading scorer.
Although she continues to shatter school records and now possesses a gold medal, Katie Stengel is not satisfied. She returns to Wake Forest with one goal in mind, bringing the College Cup back to Winston-Salem.
“The teams in the ACC are amongst the strongest in the country,” Stengel said of the road ahead.
“We know we have to work hard. I hope to bring the level of play up even higher here so we can com-pete and hopefully finish our season as the last team standing.”
Stengel is ready to do whatever it takes to lead Wake Forest to ultimate glory.
She has proven time and time again that she is one of the best college soccer players in America.
Now, with a gold medal added to her ever-expanding trophy case, the possibilities truly do seem endless for Katie Stengel and the Demon Deacons this upcom-ing season.

In the 2011 NCAA Tournament, Stengel led all play-ers with 13 points, which included five goals.
Continuing their streak of hard fought games, the Demon Deacons found themselves in double-overtime for the third consecutive game while playing against the No. 1 ranked North Carolina Tar Heels at 7 p.m. Sept. 14 at Fetzer Field, ultimately tying the Tar Heels at 0-0. The Deacons followed with a 3-1 home victory against Georgia Southern Sept. 18.
Throughout their matchup with the rival Heels, ball possession became key as both teams battled largely near midfield. However, the Deacs, ranked second in the ACC in shots, were able to outshoot the Tar Heels 11-10.
Wake Forest exhibited a constant tendency to squander any scoring opportunities the Tar Heels had.
The Deacs also had opportunities to score, and with seven seconds left in regulation, ju-nior midfielder Ross Tomaselli had a free kick
22 yards from goal that was deflected by goal-ie Scott Goodwin.
Wake Forest though, continued its stingy defense in the first overtime, outshooting the Tar Heels 3-0. Yet neither team was able to get a shot off on goal during the second overtime.
However, senior goalie Michael Lisch played a great game, recording his third shutout of the year with a season-high of four saves, as he helped keep the potent Tar Heels in check. The tie places the No. 16 Deacon’s record in the ACC at 0-0-2.
Four days later and looking to advance their winning streak at Spry Stadium to five, the Demon Deacons played an unfamiliar oppo-nent in Georgia Southern, having only played them once before. The Deacs knew they had to respond well to the drain of three straight double-overtime games.
“It definitely has taken a toll on us but we have to bounce back like usual,” freshman de-fender Jalen Robinson said.
Moreover, the Deacs were able to use the draw against North Carolina to propel them-selves forward.
“I think last game motivated us to do better this game and the rest of the season,” Robin-son said.
A combination of freshmen and upperclass-men led to an early 2-0 lead for the Deacons.
In the 13th minute, a free kick from Ross Tomaselli just outside the box allowed for Robinson to score his second goal of the sea-son as he rose above the defense with a strong header.
Wake Forest continued its offensive on-slaught in the 21st minute as midfielder Jared Watts earned an assist while shrugging off shirt grabs by Georgia Southern with a through ball to freshman forward Michael Gamble.
However, a defensive lapse in the waning minutes of the first half led to Drew Ruggles of Georgia Southern scoring on a free kick outside the box in the 41st minute.
The team came out motivated in the second half.
“We knew as a team what we had to do to come out and do better but he definitely in-spired us, as usual,” Robinson said.
The extra motivation led to a quick goal in the 49th minute as forward Luca Gimenez scored from the top of the box to seal the game.
The Deacs look to continue their momen-tum against Duke at 7 p.m. Sept. 21 at Spry Stadium.

passed Dean Smith at 879 wins and Bob Knight at 902 wins.
His legacy does not stop there. Over his 40 year career, he reached the Tournament a total of 23 times and won three national champion-ships in 1998, 2004 and 2011. If that isn’t enough to throw on a coaching resume, he has also won the Big East conference regular season title nine times and the Big East tournament seven times.
The Big East is arguably the best basketball conference overall and features teams such as Syracuse,
Georgetown, Villanova, Pittsburgh and Louisville, who continue to do well in basketball almost every
season. However, Jim Calhoun has consistently beaten them throughout his career. Of course, Calhoun has had some less than impressive sea-sons, but every
coach is prone to having that happen.
To put the finishing touches on Jim Calhoun’s time as a college head coach, he has been a part of the
development for some very impres-sive NBA players. Ray Allen, Rip Hamilton and Rudy Gay have all stepped onto the floor of the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion under Coach Calhoun.
Yet, no coaching career is com-plete without some controversy, and Jim Calhoun follows this trend. In 1996, UConn featured Kirk King and Ricky Moore.
King and Moore would lend a hand in the Huskies making a run to the Sweet Sixteen. However, an investigation led to the stripping of the victories in the NCAA Tourna-ment due to allegations that both players received improper benefits.
Last February, Calhoun was also suspended for the first three games of Big East conference play for failing to create what the NCAA considered an atmosphere of com-pliance. The results of the charges include scholarship reductions and recruiting restrictions amongst other penalties.
The main question for UConn at this point is to whether or not they should depart from the Big East conference while in the midst of a major conference makeover. Thus far, the University of Pitts-burgh, Syracuse University, and the University of Notre Dame have all made plans to head to the Atlantic
Coast Conference to join national powerhouses Duke University and UNC.
Many question how long it will be until the Huskies decide to call it quits on the Big East as well.
Through seasons of controversy, conference realignments, and national championships, Jim Cal-houn has pretty much seen it all.
It will be difficult to replace Cal-houn, a coach who had a hand in crafting many great teams and ter-rific seasons, but the Huskies will need to find a way to move on. I wouldn’t be surprised if Calhoun has a hand in the future of the Huskies, but only time will tell.
Calhoun: Even though coach leaves, legacy will stay
Numerous teams are leaving their his-
toric conferences to form mega-confer-ences to increase exposure and create for better match-ups.
While I do not disagree with this men-tality, it underlies the one thing that is wrong with college sports, money. Money is driving these moves, and if the NCAA is not careful, money will begin to drive its athletes.
A Southern Point of ViewThe ACC is a conference that is, with-
out a doubt, one of the most respected around the country, across all sports, and I would argue has some of the most proud fans of their team and the states and regions in which they represent.
I grew up in the heart of ACC coun-try and, with most of my family living in Durham, was a diehard Duke fan. Some of my earliest memories are of watching
the Duke vs. Carolina basketball games with my family, and learning how the game of basketball was played through the overly intense and rambunctious viewings.
The thing that stuck in my mind the most from those early memories, is the amount of “love” that people in the ACC had for their teams, whether that be the stickers on the back of their car or the heated arguments that a past game be-tween two conference rivals could start.
The ACC to me was not only just an athletic conference, but really defined some people and, to an extent, the cul-ture in this region of the country.
Now don’t get me wrong, I believe that Notre Dame is a great school, and I greatly respect their academics and their athletics. Rudy is one of my favorite mov-ies and I often watched the Fighting Irish football games on TV. However, I think Notre Dame is not representative of the ACC that I and many others grew up watching and admiring. I think this ex-
tends beyond just Notre Dame, but also with the recent additions of schools such as Syracuse and Pittsburgh.
The ACC was established 59 years ago in Greensboro with just seven teams: Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Caro-lina, North Carolina State, South Caro-lina and Wake Forest. These teams were representative of a region of the country that could all relate with each other which created a bond, as well as numerous rival-ries among schools. The conference itself was even considered to be named things such as the “Shoreline Conference,” the “Dixie Conference” and the “Tobacco Conference” which represented the area in which it originated.
I think the direction that the ACC — and other NCAA conferences for that matter are moving is detrimental to the histories and competition in the confer-ences.
They may be getting more money, but they are losing their heart and tradition in the process.

After six decades of producing the station wagon, Volvo announced its decision to discontinue the line in the United States in February 2011.
For many people, the station wagon is the fi rst image that comes to mind upon hearing the model Volvo.
Fast forward a year after that announcement was published in Forbes Magazine to today. Nostalgia for the vehicle has not waned. � is can be seen in the newly released documentary Wagonmasters.
Wagonmasters is a documentary fi lmed by Sam Smartt and Chris Zaluski, both of whom are graduate fi lm students. � e fi lm tracks how the station wagon has evolved alongside American society — “Americana,” the people, the memories and the history.
“Chris read an article in February 2011 about Volvo discontinuing their last model of station wagon in the U.S,” Smartt said. “� is prompted him to Google ‘station wagon enthusiasts,’ thinking maybe there were some people for whom this news was really tragic.”
As a result of that search, Smartt and Zaluski headed to Charlotte to interview Tim Cleary, the president of the American Station Wagon Owners Association.
During a period of six months, Smartt and Zaluski traveled to Los Angeles, Detroit, rural Wisconsin, Illinois, Tennessee, Vermont, New
York, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. � ey then spent four months compiling their footage and editing the fi lm.
� e documentary was screened on Sept. 15 at Krankie’s on � ird Street in downtown Winston-Salem. � e room was large, but full of people. Outside, there were vintage stationwagons parked side by side.
Inside, the audience spanned ages and types of people, all interested to see the progression of the car. Smartt and Zaluski were there as well. Some people had to stand, but the atmosphere was jovial and interested.
Wagonmasters goes beyond the standards of a student-produced documentary. � e directors compiled over 80 hours of fi lm footage, in addition to decades worth of archives into the relatively short fi lm.
“� e arc of the fi lm is historical, with vignettes of wagon owners mixed throughout,” Smartt said.
� e fi lm chronicles the evolution of America’s love for the station wagon and what the station wagon gave back to the nation in return.
“� e Volvo was our ‘in’ to the story, but really as we got deeper into it we realized that the story is really about the traditional American Station Wagon,” Smartt said.
After seeing interview after interview with Americans from across the country, viewers begin to realize that the station wagon is more than just a automobile: it was the car that parents sat in the back seat of, and it was the symbol of freedom on the open road during a time when seat belts were not used.
One man in the fi lm recalls, “My God, I rode back there, where a lot of people grew up.”
At various points throughout the fi lm, viewers begin to realize the potential of the next “hipster” movement. At the heart of the movement will be the station wagon, bringing
back not only what was cool from our parents’ generation but its unique look.
If you’re feeling sentimental towards your family’s working or broken down station wagon, or even feeling anti-sentimental towards station wagons entirely, this is the fi lm for you.
Make your way on over to a pre-screening of Wagonmasters, while it is still a movement known to select few besides station wagon enthusiasts and friends of friends of the directors.
Check out wagonmastersthemovie.com for upcoming shows and more information about the fi lm.
Plus, increased viewership helps Smartt and Zaluki further their hopes of expanding the audience from anyone willing to watch at local screenings, to expanding their audience at fi lm festivals and, hopefully, to see the momentum of the fi lm pick up and spread nationwide.
“� e idea is that this vehicle was once an icon of the American Dream, but now it’s the epitome of the uncool car. So the idea is, “what does this say about how America has changed?” according to Smartt.
“We like to say it’s like riding in the way back of the station wagon — you’re looking backwards while moving forwards.”

Next time you make your weekly fro-yo run on Stratford Road, take a look to your left — you’ll notice a newcomer to the Midtown Shopping Center. � e polished exterior of Five Points restaurant shows a lot of promise when you think back to the building’s former days as Big Shotz Tavern and Lucky 32. Entering the main dining room of Five Points sets the tone for the dining experience.
Other than the dark-colored industrial ceiling, the clean lines and coordinated blue-green tones in the décor gives the space a very modern and relaxing atmosphere. � e dining room is large, with ample booth seating for groups of four to eight, as well as a separate bar area and rear outdoor patio, all of which can accommodate just under 300 guests.
Five Points’ menu off ers a variety of American styles like crab cakes and lobster tails from the North, shrimp and grits from the South, Angus beef and spicy black bean cakes from the Midwest and West. � ere are vegetarian options too, including the entrée salads as well as the wild mushroom ravioli, which are favorites. I sat down with my No. 1 man
(my dad, of course) for dinner, and I was treated to a pick from the adult-beverage list, which boasts not only a great variety of domestic and international wines, but also cocktails, cordials and a satisfying selection of draft and bottled beers.
Since it was late, we decided to eat lighter than usual. We each got one of the two soups, crab and corn chowder ($4) and roasted tomato bisque ($3), and enjoyed them thoroughly, noting the extra dollop of crab meat as a garnish on the former. In addition, my dad opted for the appetizer-portion of pan-seared sea scallops (fi ve for $19) which were presented atop sticky rice and sitting in a delicious, buttery lemon-thyme sauce. My entrée salad, the grilled chicken salad ($12) was an excellently sized portion (meaning I took half of it home) with freshly grilled chicken, fi ve round slices of creamy goat cheese, diced tomatoes, dried cranberries and dates and tossed in a sweet champagne
dressing. � e fl avors of our dishes were both balanced and sophisticated, and we liked everything we tried. My favorite aspect of Five Points is its focus on fresh, local ingredients — everything served is locally sourced or grown, and the quality of ingredients really showed. � e staff members I met were attentive and clearly proud of the green, community-friendly initiatives of this new Winston-Salem gem. I recommend Five Points as a great option for a special occasion, date night, or dinner with parents at the upcoming Family Weekend. � e restaurant’s atmosphere and pricing defi nitely caters to a more upscale but still casual dinner crowd, so I caution the budget-friendly Deacon. Five Points also serves lunch and brunch, and is open on Sundays and until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. I encourage all Wake students to indulge a little and check out Five Points this semester — you won’t be disappointed.

• Mariah Carey quelled rumors that
she was already with fi ghting with her new American Idol co-host Nicki Minaj. “How can we feud in two days? I think a feud takes a little longer,” Carey told reporters at a New York City press conference on Sept. 17.
• After their surprise nuptials, Blake Lively (Gossip Girl) and her new husband Ryan Reynolds (The Proposal) spent their honeymoon in Little Washington, Va. this past weekend. The two were married in South Carolina on Sept. 9.
• Two-time Olympic gold medalist Shaun White was arrested in Nashville on Sept. 16th for public intoxication. White allegedly pulled a fi re alarm in his hotel and then tried to fl ee the scene, however his plan was foiled when he fell and hit his head, forcing him to seek medical attention.
� e beginning of this story seems to be similar to many other horror fl icks, the only exception being that the movie is based on a true story. � e premise revolves around a recently divorced couple, in which the father moves into a new home.
Nothing surprising yet. � is couple has had two children, Em and Hannah. While
with her father, Em notices a strange antique wooden box at a yard sale. � e box is engraved with Hebrew script on it, and immediately it becomes apparent to the viewer that this box is bad news. Em discovers a secret lock to open the box, and this is when the trouble begins.
Over the course of the fi lm, the creep factor steadily increases, driven forward by solid performances from Jeff rey Dean Morgan (playing the role of Clyde, Em’s father) and Natasha Calis (playing the role of Em).
� ese two are the driving forces in the movie, but there are impressive performances all around in this fi lm.
Regarding the plot, the title pretty much
sums it up. After Em opens the box, she acts less like herself, suff ers violent outbreaks and becomes more detached from the rest of her circle.
Eventually, Em’s father notices her strange over-attachment to the box and makes attempts to rid the box.
Of course, Em’s mother is somewhat bitter to her father after the divorce and doesn’t fi nd credibility in the fact that the box has some strange eff ect on Em’s personality.
With increasingly odd occurrences (like Em’s room being infested with large moths), he enlists the help of a Hasidic Jew named Tzadok, played by none other than Matisyahu.
Before getting Tzadok’s help, he of course consults a plethora of research sites about the strange box on his Macbook (seems like a common theme in horror movies).
No need to go much further into the plot at this point. You can pretty much fi ll in the blanks.
Although the acting is solid, the story line seems pretty basic and very cliché for an exorcism movie. Nonetheless it is an overall enjoyable fi lm that manages to provide a few interesting twists and turns.
Some of the horror tactics used may be anything but unfamiliar, but there is still a decent punch in the scare department.
� is movie is worth seeing. Expect to be impressed with a solid cast of actors, intriguing cinematography and visual eff ects, but don’t expect a fresh new exorcism storyline.

My roommate and I are not getting along. He is dirty, brings girls back and just eats all ofmy food. He is the roommate from HELL. We tried talking and he just seems to shrug itoff. What do I do?
Dear Reader,I would talking to him again and see what
conclusions the both of you can come up with, but also bring in a third party.
Most people will not get the point until they have a stranger (or someone else) analyze the situation and give them feedback. This could be an RA, the GHD in your hall, or even another peer.
Make the point that disrespecting your space is rude, and no one should have to subject themselves to those conditions.
If that doesn’t work I would consider changing rooms if you just cannot make it work, but try to talk out the situation and get him to realize that in the real world
we all have to make compromises, even in living situations.
It seems that everyone is hooking up in college but me. I go to parties, stand near the wallsand maybe talk to a few people here and there. What should I do to at least get my name out there?
Dear Reader,I think you’re taking a great first step in
just going out. Talking to people can be tough, but you also have to remember that you’re in the same boat as everyone else.
Everyone is afraid of rejection and embarrassing themselves. You just have to get over that fact and enjoy your night regardless of talking to someone attractive or not. Not everyone in college is hooking up or bringing random people back home, even though in our college culture it seems that everyone is.
You have to stay positive and focus on your goals and not concentrate so much on what everyone else is doing. You never know, you may bump into that person you’re going to like in the Pit or in Benson, not at some random frat house basement.
But put yourself out there, and if you’re enjoying yourself and having fun, chances are people will become attracted to you anyway. People always want to be around
the “fun” guy. So don’t stress too much about it!
I am a freshman male and I want to rush next spring semester, but I talked to a few upperclassmen and they have given me different viewpoints on so many different fraternities. What would I do with all of this information and how do I make such a difficult choice so soon?
Dear Reader,This is a question I am sure all of the
freshman guys and girls have been dying to get an answer to. Talking to upperclassman is a great way to get perspective on things since those people are generally in those organizations so they know the ins and outs.
The bad thing about talking to them is because of biased view points and their attitudes toward some groups on campus. Rush is a tough time for most people because it’s full of hard decisions, lots of information thrown at you and friendships being tested.
The good thing is, you have time to still go to all of the Greek groups and form your impressions. Take the time to visit the groups now while rush isn’t going on to get an impression of the group and make an effort to meet people in these organizations. Most of the time, the impressions you have
now will about these groups will change by the spring and during rush week. Sort it out for yourself and make your own informed decision.
How do I handle a “mean girl” that lives on my hall?
Dear Reader,If this girl on your hall is actually
bothering you this much, it’s either you have something she doesn’t or she is just plain rude to begin with. I would go the old route of thinking and “kill her with kindness.” She will probably be shocked at the fact that you’re able to continue being friendly and not take life too serious.
Try and talk out her issues with you, and figure out where the misunderstanding is so you both can work on it and maybe forge a new friendship. I ended up meeting one of my best friends this way.
We both had different opinions of each other. Then one day, we talked it out and realized we had much more in common than we thought. Someone just has to be the bigger person and communicate their feelings. This is a major part of growing up — sometimes you will have to deal with a bitchy personality type, but it is more important to how you deal with things that makes you an adult.

Despite some questionable lyrics, Meek Mill’s “Amen” featuring Drake proves to be an ear-catching hip-hop/rap single.
Although the single is composed of predominantly rapid rap verses, the only two words listeners need to know to connect with the song are “amen” and “preach,” which are repeated after almost every verse.
While it is the case for most rappers, it’s not hard to deduce that Meek Mill really enjoys women, drinking and money.
Lines like “Bottle after bottle / drink until I overdose” and “Plus I’m on probation / when they test me I just pee Rosé” really show Meek Mill’s infatuation with booze.
Who could blame him though? When he’s “stackin’ money to the ceiling” and begging “Lord forgive me for my sins, I’m just tryna win.”
Even though some of his lyrics are rather clever, I find it ironic that he combines God with such profanity that it can’t even specifically be referenced in this article. Drake saves the day, though, even if some of his verses stoop to Meek Mill’s overly cocky swagger.
With a tone that is recognizable on whatever track he performs on, Drake overshadows Meek Mill, killing the single’s second verse. Being a huge Drake fan,
maybe I’m biased, but how could you not be when his last line is “I’m the type to say a prayer / then go get what I just prayed for”?
I may denounce some of Meek Mill’s lyrics, but he must be accredited for his cleverness and the strides he has made since his last “hit,” “House Party,” in which he merely repeated “welcome to my house party, party.”
While it may not make your pregame playlist like “Amen” should, Frank Ocean’s “Thinking About You” is a nice change of pace from all the upbeat songs repeatedly heard on the weekends. Off his pop album Channel Orange, released in July, “Thinking About You” is a soulful R&B track that showcases Ocean’s versatility.
He may be rapping one verse, and then in the next, he reaches rare notes similar to the ones Mariah Carey hits. Some of these shockingly high notes are reached in verses such as, “Or do you not think so far ahead?/ ‘Cause I been thinkin’ bout forever.”
The story behind the lyrics is self-explanatory, given the title of the song. However, it’s interesting how in one line, Ocean raps “No, I don’t like you, I just thought were cool/ Enough to kick it.” Then, for 60 percent of the song, he sings he’s been “thinkin ‘bout” her and wonders if she “[thinks] about [him] still.”Ocean may not be extremely well-known yet, but he is definitely climbing up the ranks.
He even performed this song at MTV’s Video Music Awards this month. Listeners may recognize his sensual voice featured in Kanye West’s and Jay-Z’s intense, hard-hitting “No Church in the Wild” and
“Made in America” from their Watch the Throne album, or from his 2011 single “Novacane.” Ocean displays his undeniable
musical talent in “Thinking About You” and is definitely a singer to watch for the upcoming year.

� e thermostat might read 82 degrees, and the bronzed student population might say otherwise, but I assure you, the fashion-minded among us know that it is fall.
And while for many of you, the ushering in of autumn means pumpkin-picking and an updated Starbucks menu, for me, it means a seasonally appropriate wardrobe.
Of course, the warm weather that lingers on… and on… at our lovely Southern university makes donning my brand new cable-knit a tad bit uncomfortable. What’s a girl to do? Enter the hybrid-wardrobe —the perfect combination of fall and summer pieces so that it is your outfi t, not your temperature, that is hot.
� e key to staying fashion-forward at a school where the weather doesn’t match the runway lies in combinations.
� e fi rst step is boxing up your quintessential summer pieces. Case in point: while winter white is decidedly “in,” the cream-colored eyelet sundress that you wore to every barbeque of July should be shelved until next summer.
Straddling the gap between weather patterns is all about incorporating pieces from one season with staples from another, so items in your wardrobe that simply
scream warm weather should only do so from storage.
� at’s not to say that all of your favorites must be tossed to the wayside. For example, denim shorts, a hot day go-to, for example, are perfect for warm days in fall when paired with desert boots and a light-weight chunky sweater.
� e thing to remember, of course, is the notion of hybrid.
Stay away from bright summer colors or beachy accessories, and instead incorporate autumn earth tones with your cut-off s.
� e eff ect is a seasonally appropriate ensemble that won’t have you sweating in class.
When attempting to compile the in-between outfi t, your next consideration should be choice of accessories.
For example, a statement leather bag from your favorite fall line, paired with a light-weight scarf in one of the jewel-tones of the season, can instantly transform a seasonal neutral like skinny jeans and a tee into an outfi t identifi ably appropriate for autumn.
Finally, shoe selection is one of the easiest and perhaps most eff ective ways of mastering a hybrid wardrobe.
Steer clear of footwear solely reserved for the summer, like brightly colored open toed sandals.
While neutral sandals can work with crop pants or a bohemian sweater, avoid bright-colored footwear better reserved for the beach.
Open-toe shoes are appropriate in the fall, but be wary of woven wedges and white fabric, two clear indicators of a summer-only shoe. Better options are the
more versatile variety. � ink multi-seasonal material like suede and in-between colors in subdued hues.
Essential selections include ankle boots, Oxfords and Bucks.
� ese choices are hybrid winners. Pairing them with virtually any neutral will keep you seasonally appropriate for many months to come.
Attending a university set in a temperate climate is wonderful for outdoor tailgates,
September pool parties and outdoor classes. � e obvious drawback, of course, is the fall fashion challenge, but it doesn’t have to be!
Take a few extra moments every morning to make sure your outfi t is both comfortable and seasonally appropriate by following the hybrid guidelines.
� is way, you too can channel the outfi ts, styles and colors of New York Fashion Week at the Forest.
Even if the weather says otherwise.

It is what you make of it
Everyone affiliated with Wake usually has some strong opinions about our campus.
We scrutinize food choices, parking situations, and rising tuition costs, but one of the most discussed campus issues is the university’s housing facilities.
Residence Life & Housing believes in providing good service to students. There is usually a warm smile and a face ready to help when you walk in the door.
It is clear that the students’ issue is not with the RL&H staff, but with the amenities.
Donna McGalliard, dean of Residence Life and Housing, was asked for RL&H’s opinion about what they thought the worst room on campus might be.
She expressed that RL&H “believes that all rooms on campus are good rooms —
they are what our students make them... the majority of our students select their own rooms... Each person likes certain locations for different reasons and that is part of the charm of our residential community.”
So, why does the majority take the opportunity to move off campus or wish they could?
Why do so many students elect to move outside of Wake’s gates?
For some, it’s cost effective, others just enjoy the autonomy, but most move off campus because they aren’t satisfied with the housing offered to them.
On-campus students feel the same way. Other than proximity to the Quad, they aren’t happy either.
This is not a centralized opinion of one critical group, but students of all cliques and classes were happy to voice their housing groans.
When asked what they thought was the worst room on campus, most of the student grumbling concerned the freshman dorms.
Johnson Residence Hall took the most heat. Senior Ashley Kazouh feel that it looks “old and they never do anything to it. It’s like it’s forgotten about.”
Sophomore Susie Webster agreed with that sentiment, and senior Anneve Waithe vouched that she saw mold in the freshman hall.
Junior Travis McKie argued Johnson wasn’t the worst, but that Bostwick Residence Hall took the cake.
He said, “I lived in Babcock Residence Hall, but I took one trip in Bostwick and didn’t go back.”
Even South Hall got ragged on by a few juniors and sophomores because they got bedbugs while living in the hotel-like building.
South Campus wasn’t the only target of student backlash.
Junior Nina Smajlovic thought that Martin Residence Hall “lacks the hospitality of a dorm... fails to be representative of Wake Forest’s residence living.”
An anonymous senior admitted he had mold on his ceiling in his room in Kitchin, and two seniors and a junior in separate buildings said they had roaches in North Campus Apartments.
Even Polo wasn’t safe from upperclassmen scrutiny due to the tiny and inconvenient laundry room for the gigantic Residence Hall with 194 residents.
I’ve had my fair share of issues including leaky ceilings, unexplained stains on tiles, and even a roach (you can call it a “palmetto” if you like, but to a Northerner it’s still a roach), but nothing pressing that maintenance couldn’t or wouldn’t fix.
I find myself complaining about housing just like everyone else, but something that Dean McGalliard said stuck with me, “they are what our students make them.”
As a junior, I have lived in three different campus locations and even one abroad.
My current Polo room is decked out with black and cream bedding, pretty throw pillows and pictures from Europe.
Though it’s small, it is comfortable because I made it that way.
I have friends over, use it do to homework and have a place of my own to come back and relax in.
It may not be ideal in size or color, and my closet is definitely too small, but it could be so much worse. There are some things in life that aren’t perfect no matter how much you pay.
I agree with my fellow students that are issues with our housing situation that should be addressed, but the worst room on campus is one that you don’t make your own.
Students often debate about the worst places to live on campus, but is housing really that bad?
