Mathis wins SG election

University to increase spending, 3.5 percent pay boost for faculty and staff

the 2005-2006 fiscal year. The budget approved at the April 1 meeting included a 3.5 percent salary increase for faculty and staff as well as a 1 percent increase in the operating budget for the Reynolda Campus.

“Roughly half of all increased rev-enues will go to faculty and staff salary increases,” said Wayne Smith, a board of trustees member who oversees the Reynolda Campus budget.

The budget allows for $7.8 million

more to be spent on salary and fringe benefits. According to an April 1 univer-sity news release, the increase in salary spending is the largest increase in the Reynolda Campus budget.

The total new budget for the Reynolda Campus is $269 million, a significant increase over last year’s allotment of $249 million.

According to Smith, obtaining com-petitive salaries for university employ-ees is the “single highest priority” for

the board. “We know that one cannot have a first-rate university without first-rate faculty” he said. “One can’t have a first rate faculty without competitive salaries.”

Senior Student Trustee Jamie Dean, agreed with Smith. “Competitive sala-ries help us to attract the most prestigious faculty,” he said. He also said that the increase “makes up for missed time.”

New trustees named

By Mary Beth BallardAssistant News Editor

The university’s board of trustees elected new members at its meet-ing on April 1 and named junior Alex Reyes as the student trustee for the 2005-2006 term.

Current Vice Chairman L. Gleen Orr was elected to be the new chairman of the board. Orr, from Winston-Salem, is the presi-dent and chief executive officer of the Orr Group. Current Chair-

man Murray C. Greason Jr. was elected vice chairman. Greason is a Winston-Salem attor-ney.

S e v e r a l people were elected as new, first-time members of

the board. The new members included David W. Dupree of Washington, D.C., managing director of The Halifax Group; Donald E. Flow of Winston-Salem, president of Flow Auto-motive Companies Inc.; Robert E. Greene of Winston-Salem, president of Branch Banking and Trust Company Inc.; James Hoak of Dallas, chairman of Hoak Media Corporation; Deborah Kahn Rubin of Winston-Salem; and Mitesh Bharat Shah of Atlanta, president of Noble Investment Group Ltd.

Former members re-elected to the board were the Rev. Michael G. Queen, A. Doyle Early and Theodore R. Meredith.

Reyes went through the applica-tion process overseen by the Stu-dent Life committee and was then selected as one of three individuals to interview before the Board of Trustees selection committee.

The student trustee is a full-fledged, voting member of the board who is responsible for representing the student body and voting.

Reyes said her main goals are to increase communication between students and administration, and to foster the connections of a diverse student body by finding venues for unity.

“I also want to encourage stu-dents to become involved with the Winston-Salem community,” she added.

Reyes said she looks forward to be working with university president-elect Nathan O. Hatch. “I really want to encourage stu-dents to get to know Dr. Hatch on campus ... he truly wants to find out what students are thinking,” she said.

The Student Government executive board and Honor and Ethics council election results were announced shortly after midnight April 6.

Junior Reggie Mathis won the elec-tion for the SG president by decisively defeating junior Karl Brady. Mathis received 1442 votes, 73 percent of the votes cast.

“I’ve received so many e-mails, IMs and phone calls of people just saying congratulations,” Mathis said on winning the election.

“The fact that more than half the school supports our message that we got across is very rewarding.”

Mathis ran on the platform to improve basketball ticket distribution, to bring comedian Chris Rock to the university and to create a committee to investigate the effects of ARAMARK’s new meal plan.

Freshman Thomas Borders said he voted for Mathis because he stopped by his residence hall to let him know that he was running for SG president. “He was the only candidate that I personally talked to,” Borders said.

Mathis’ immediate concerns upon taking office are to plan the President Leadership Conference, to improve the Homecoming election process and, for the first time since its inception, to host the Atlantic Coast Conference Leader-ship Conference in February 2006.

“I think our goal is to take things one step at a time and to be patient in our process. The only thing I ask from stu-dents is to be patient as well. We will do our best to make sure that students par-ticipate in the decision making process and will increase our scope on student participation within SG,” Mathis said.

Brady said, “I am disappointed that I was not able to prevail in the election, but I wish Reggie the best of luck and hope that he will faithfully pursue the goals that he ran on in the campaign.”

Sophomore David Bruno ran unop-posed for the office of treasurer. He received 743 votes. Freshman Ritu Bhat-tacharya was initially in the running but

A team of university students competed in the sixth annual Wake Forest MBA Elevator Competition April 2 at the Wachovia Center in downtown Winston-Salem.

The competition was started by the university MBA program and involves over 100 teams from universities across the country.

Each team creates a business, and the top 25 businesses get the opportunity to try and sell the idea to venture capitalists during a two-minute elevator ride.

The top five teams then move on to the final round where they make a complete presentation in the Wachovia board room. The team who does the best job wins $10,000 in cash,

As part of a comptetition on April 2, students pitched business plans to judges while riding the elevator in the 34-floor Wachovia Center in downtown Winston-Salem.

The first annual Shag on the Mag April 1 concluded a week of events that were part of Springfest 2005. Student Union planners said the dance was very well-received and they heard only positive feedback about the week’s four nights of events.

The Shag on the Mag was a semi-formal dance with a cash bar, free food and a featured band, The Embers, who performed cover songs all night long. It was held under a rented tent on the Mag Quad. Lines packed the walkway for about two hours before everyone could enter.

Chi Omega and Kappa Delta sororities made it their first night of their Spring formals. The $10 event was a proposal by Springfest chair Joseph Bumgarner.

“One faculty member told me when he walked across the Quad, it was like the Springfests of the 1970s,” Bumgarner said. “He looks forward to visiting the university in future years and seeing Shag on the Mag dreamed up all over again each year.”

As the incoming president of Student Union next year, Bumgarner said that his hope was to bring back excitement to Springfest and start a few new traditions. For now, Student Union and the Spring-fest committee have decided to continue Shag on the Mag as an annual event with one provision – a larger tent.

The week of events commenced March 28 with a musical performance by Jay Hanson in Shorty’s. It was followed by a carnival March 29, which featured a Ferris wheel, inflatable games, rides and

The fourth annual 3-on-3 Piccolo Basketball Shootout took place April 2 on the Collins outdoor basketball courts. The tournament was once again a collaboration of Sigma Pi fraternity and Phi Mu sorority to raise money for the Brian Piccolo Cancer fund.

With 29 teams participating, the basketball contest was a success; however, it was not as lucrative as the previous year. The contest raised $3000 in comparison to last years’ total of approximately $4000.

Junior Anderson Ellis, the Philan-thropy Chair of Sigma Pi fraternity coordinated the event along with Phi Mu Philanthropy co-chairs sophomores Laurie McComas and Lynn Daniels.

Three walk-ons from the men’s bas-ketball team comprised the winning team of the men’s bracket. Senior Scott Feather and juniors John Buck and Mike Drum won the tourna-ment; however, they did not accept the prizes because of NCAA rules. Their alternate, junior Jesse Rose, accecpted them instead. Junior walk-on Brian Jessen also played on a separate team.

“The walk-ons pretty much killed the other teams,” Ellis said.

Aside from the walk-ons, other members of the basketball team also made an appearance to show their support for the fundraiser.

“Taron Downey got on the mic and talked to the people at the tour-nament, and later, Trent Strickland stopped by,” Ellis said.

Of the 29 teams, six teams con-sisted strictly of females. Sopho-mores Lisa Grodski and Colleen Tremont and freshman Ashley Piccolo were the members of the girls’ team, Team Piccolo, that won the women’s bracket.

Each team consisted of four people, including one substitute. Games were played on the half-court, and the shootout was conducted in a double elimination format.

Shootout supports Piccolo fund“The teams played until 11 points

or until 20 minutes were over, which-ever came first. They just played by basic street ball rules, players called their own fouls, the other team had to respect calls,” Ellis said.

“You just referee yourselves and go by the honor code,” McCormas said.

Only one and two point incre-ments were used.

Because the 3-on-3 shootout was played in double-elimination format, the losing teams were allowed multiple chances to play.

Those teams were bumped down to the ‘losers’ bracket’, where the teams in that bracket played each other.

Due to rainy weather, the tourna-ment ended prematurely around 2:30 p.m. four teams from the losers’ bracket had yet to finish playing, but at that point, “it was obvious that

the walk-ons had won, so it didn’t matter,” Ellis said.

The winners of the women’s and men’s brackets recieved gift cer-tificates to restaurants such as The Village Tavern and 1703.

The 3-on-3 Piccolo Basketball shootout is just one of the many ways that the university’s organiza-tions raise money for various causes and charities.

“A popular way to raise money among the student body is by hold-ing athletic events such as basketball, kickball or dodgeball competitions. There are already intramural teams on campus, so we figured that we can raise money by doing things that people do already,” Ellis said.

McComas said, “Basketball is such a popular thing right now. You can’t go to Wake Forest without having an interest in basketball because we have such a strong program. It’s just

something fun to do.” In addition to the basketball com-

petition, several raffles were held, the most prominent being the raffle for a chance at $10,000. The person selected for the raffle was allowed “a one shot deal” to sink a basketball from 45-feet away.

The winner was sophomore Andrew Tillman. However, he missed the shot and so did not win the $10,000.

The other prizes raffled off included gift certificates to La Carretta, Rose’s Deli and the bowling alley.

All monies raised from the 3-on-3 shootout were donated to the Brian Piccolo Cancer fund.

The fund supports cancer research was established in 1980 by students in memory of Chicago Bears football player Brian Piccolo, ’65, who died of multiple cancers in 1970 at the young age of 26.

Forum provides discussion on foreign affairs

By Dan ConnorsOld Gold & Black Reporter

The Great Decisions Forum 2005, a six-week series of lectures and discussion on current foreign policy issues continues into its fourth week with a presentation by associate professor of economics Robert Whaples tonight introducing his series topic, “Outsourcing Jobs: U.S. Dilemma.”

The Great Decisions Series is a national foreign policy education program sponsored by the Foreign Policy Association (FPA), a non-profit, non-partisan, non-governmental educational organization that strives to educate Americans about the significant international

issues that influence their lives. The program is hosted by Wake

Forest University’s Center for International Studies.

Each of the forums, which run every Thursday for six weeks and began on March 8, feature a differ-ent discussion topic led by an expert from the university. Each event is free and open to the public.

The forums have drawn a high turnout of people from both the university and the Winston-Salem

community. Organizers hope the series will enhance “town and gown” relationships.

“So far, the level of attendance has been great,” said series coordinator Yomi Durotoye, a professor of politi-cal science. “The response from the audience has been remarkable. They have been asking tough, interesting and thoughtful questions and, more interestingly, many of them stay behind to ask follow up questions after the lectures,” he added.

“The goal of my lecture is to help people better under-stand this complex issue,” said Whaples whose lecture will take place at 7 p.m. today in Scales M306.

“I plan to relate the ‘outsourcing’ of jobs to the broader issue of international trade and to explain why most economists are wary of protectionism, discussing the idea of comparative advantage and evidence about gains from trade,” he said.

Whaples also plans to discuss the nature of the American labor market and, in particular, how wages in certain occupations affect it.

Helga Welsh, an associate professor of political science, proceeded Whaples last Thursday with a discussion titled “Putin’s Second Term: A Scorecard for Russia” about the consequences of Putin’s economic and political reforms and familiarizing people with the complexities of the Russian political and economic situation.

“There were many good and informed questions from the audience,” Welsh said. “If I take this as an indicator of success, then I think it went well.”

The highlight of the forum thus far seems to be a “standing room only” lecture on March 24 by Wei-chin Lee, a professor of political science, titled “China: Economic Giant Emerges.” The lecture focused on China’s rapid economic growth and its impact on the global economy, ecosystem, resources and pattern of international trade.

“I must say, judging by the turnout, that the public interest in China is very high,” Durotoye said. “It seems as if the high turnout is largely driven by the recogni-tion of the rising profile of China as a major actor on the international stage.”

Following Whaples lecture, two more Great Decisions events are scheduled beginning on April 14 with a lecture on “Sudan and the War in Darfur” which Durotoye will deliver in room M306 of the Scales Fine Arts Center. Rounding out the 2005 program lineup is a lecture by Dr Sylvain Boko titled “The U.S. and Global Poverty” on April 21 in Room A102 in the Scales Fine Arts Center. Both lectures will take place at 7 p.m.

The faculty and staff had not received a pay increase this large in several years. Accord-ing to university statistics, the last salary increase given was a 2.0 percent raise given during the 2003-2004 fiscal year. Some members of the faculty are not satisfied with this year’s increase.

“Raises during the last three years have been far less than comparison institutions. They haven’t kept up with the cost of living,” said Hank Kennedy, a political science professor and chairman of the faculty senate committee on university over-sight said.

“This can not be considered a generous raise by any standard,” he added.

“Having some increase is better than nothing, which is exactly what our salary increase is for the current budget year” said Win-Chiat Lee, philosophy professor, and president of the university chapter of the Ameri-can Association of University Professors.

There were varied opinions regarding the competitiveness of salaries at the university compared to those at rival institutions.

Smith said that the university salaries are comparable at the level of full and associate pro-fessor, but not at the level of assistant professor. Kennedy said that university faculty is “woefully underpaid.”

The increases in budgetary spending came a year after a budget freeze placed on the budget for the current fiscal year.

Money obtained from a series of cost-cutting and revenue gen-

$40,000 in professional services and a meeting with an appropriate venture capitalist. Regardless of whether or not they won, each of the 25 finalist teams received $1,000 cash and the opportunity to meet and network with inves-tors.

“The competition is very real-istic,” said founder Stan Mandel. “The elevator ride is the first step. All the teams are trying to do is hook the investor to get more face time.”

Mandel also said even if teams don’t win the competition, private investors may still be interested in an idea and pursue it. “The competition is a great opportu-nity. A lot of these products take off,” he said.

“The competitors get a chance to meet capitalists who they would never get access to otherwise,” said competition co-chair Sara Forest. “They’ll get one-on-one feedback with the judges to assess their performance.”

The competitors also recognize the opportunity the competition presents. “This is experience that you just can’t get outside of this competition,” said Babcock MBA student Christopher Victory. The committee running the competi-tion has watched it grow over the years. Year after year there are more entries, and in future years they hope to bring in speakers.

The university entry, a business called NEGYTNA, produced a product that measures antibody levels in salmon and catfish. It probes into the immune system of the fish and helps farmers detect which ones are sick and not to be sold.

“We started with an idea and no clue of how to run a business,” said faculty advisor and biology professor Raymond Kuhn.

The team started with only two biology students, who then

recruited five classmates from the Calloway School of Business and Finance, one Economics student, and Victory, who served as the required MBA student.

The group elected senior biology major Sarah Yocum as president of the company. She and Vic-tory entered the elevator with the investors. “It’s been a lot of work, and I’ve been practicing hard to make sure I hit all of the important points” Yocum said the night before the competition. “I’m not nervous, more excited”

NEGYTNA finished just short of the finals, but the team was very pleased with its performance.

“We received some very valu-able feedback on how to improve our business for the next compe-

erating initiatives put into place at the board meeting last April helped to rectify the budget issues.

According to an April 2004 news release, these measures included refinancing debt, increasing research revenues, cutting costs from real estate owned by the university, adding to the endowment trough gifts and maintaining enrollment at its full capacity of 3980. The money generated to supplement the for-merly ailing budget is supplied in large part from tuition.

“It is the undergraduate tuition that drives revenue,” Smith said. A tuition increase was approved at the October board of trustees meeting. Tuition will be $30,110 for the 2005-2006 year, 6.7 per-cent higher than it previously had been. Undergraduate tuition was also raised 6.5 percent during the 2004-2005 year.

Despite the tuition increase, the university is still ranked in the bottom 15 percent of the 52 competitive private institutions in regards to tuition, Smith said.

A 17.1 percent increase in the value of the endowment also con-tributed to the available funds, according to Smith.

The gross budget for the Bowman Gray School of Medi-cine at the Hawthorne campus is $742.7 million.

The budget increased by 6.8 percent from the previous year. In past years the budget for that campus had been reported in terms of the net budget, and was 563 million for 2003-2004.

When reported in terms of a gross budget, the budget for the 2004-2005 fiscal year is $695 mil-lion Karen Richardson, senior media relations manager for the medical center said.

The chairs of the competition were proud of the university’s performance from the start.

“Ray has done a great job of infusing the entrepreneurial spirit into students from across the campus...biology, graduate school, Calloway and Babcock. We look forward to more of this activity with the new Center for Entrepreneurship within the Lib-eral Arts,” Mandel said.

Senior Laura Bergfield, SG speaker of the house, said that the actual attendance was much larger than the expected turnout. She also mentioned SG’s intention to do it again in future years.

Another event was the 1980s rock ‘n’ roll lecture by Barry Drake April 30 in Pugh Auditorium.

It consisted of a musical and informative presentation on rock history throughout the 1980s and left students with either a new or renewed appreciation for post-modern era retro music.

Rouse said that Springfest would not have been as successful without the diligence of Bumgarner and his planning committee and the work of SG, the Resident Student Association, the Lilting Banshees and countless volunteers.

The planning and financial support from SAFE, SG and the administration were integral parts of Springfest’s success this year. Nearly $50,000 went into Spring-fest, allocated from the Student Activity Fee funds.

Student Union members had stated that this year’s Springfest would be a joint effort to rejuve-nate the tradition that had become stale in past years.

Planning for the next Springfest will begin early this summer to secure groups to perform as popu-lar as those this year.

dropped out of the race, despite receiv-ing the Old Gold & Black’s endorsement in the March 31 issue. She later said she changed her mind and campaigned as a write-in candidate.

“The reason I dropped out is because I thought I had a lot to do with being an R.A. next year and helping out with the Euzelian Society. But after I dropped out, I realized that I really wanted to do it (be SG treasurer),” Bhattacharya said.

Bhattacharya said she received 243 write-in votes, the most of any candi-

date in this year’s election, by speaking to sororities, fraternities and other campus organizations.

Although he ran unopposed, Bruno still made the effort the campaign door-to-door. “It was a valuable method of getting your name out, verbalizing your platform and encouraging students to vote,” Bruno said.

Also running unopposed was junior Lena Benson for the Speaker of the House and junior Bryan Locco for Sec-retary. They received 836 and 869 votes respectively.

As secretary, Locco said he plans to

work on ARAMARK’s accountability as potential changes are made to the meal plan next year.

Additionally, Locco said he hopes to establish SG office hours in Shorty’s to increase the visibility of the student gov-

ernment and to make it easier for students to approach the executive officers with their concerns.

Representatives were also elected to the Honors and Ethics Council. Freshmen Mary Beth Boyle, Matt Olson and Katie Arancio were elected as rising sophomore representatives.

For the rising junior class, Andrew Traf-ford, Anjana Madan, Elizabeth Mcgraw and Ford Tanner were elected.

Rising senior representatives elected include Belen Coe and Anne Marie Smith.

The new officers will undergo a transi-

tion period with the current officers and will officially take office at the end of the semester.

None of the SG executive officers that were active for the 2004-2005 academic year returned in this election. Seniors Trip Chalk and Laura Bergfield will gradute in May. Sophomores

Kristen Settlemire and Peter Ayoub are not returning.

Candidate for papacy spoke at university

Cardinal Francis Arinze, a Catholic leader now mentioned frequently in the media as a pos-sible candidate to be the next pope, gave a commencement

address May 17, 1999 at the university.

Arinze was born in Ezio-welle, Nigeria, a small village in the south east of that country. The 72-year-old is currently the

prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Disci-pline of the Sacraments, one of the top positions in the Vatican. If elected, he would be the first pope from Africa in more than 1,500 years.

At the university’s commence-ment, Arinze said “Many prob-lems and challenges do not respect religious frontiers. There is no Catholic hurricane or Baptist drought. There is no Jewish infla-tion or Muslim unemployment. There is no Buddhist drug addic-tion or Hindu AIDS.”

Arinze gave the address while Niki Arinze, his nephew, was an undergraduate student and player on the men’s basketball team. He was invited by University Presi-dent Thomas K Hearn Jr. during a personal meeting in Rome, according to the Wake Forest

N.C. House approves state lottery bill

On April 7, the North Carolina House of Representatives passed a bill that aims to initiate a state lottery. The measure was barely approved by a vote of 61-59. It now moves to the Senate where it must gain approval before taking effect.

The bill, if it becomes law, would specifically earmark all proceeds from the lottery for use in state education.

It requires half of the profits to be spent on school construction, 25 percent to finance college scholarships and 25 percent to be spent on education at the General Assembly’s discretion. The bill also heavily restricts advertising for the lottery.

Democratic Governor Mike Easley has been an outspoken supporter of a state lottery. House Speaker Jim Black, a democrat from Mecklenburg county created a special committee on March 28 to write the lottery bill and used his influence to help it pass.

54 democrats and seven republi-cans voted in favor of the bill.

Proponents of the lottery esti-mate it will bring in as much as $450 million yearly. Opponents think the amount will be signifi-cantly lower.

Dave ChaceManaging Editor

Twenty-four centuries after the Athenians condemned Socrates to death, the

Republican Party is seeking to eradicate the philosopher’s lasting contribution to rational

the dogmatic emptiness of the “great men” of Athens. Perhaps Baxley is worried that rational thought processes in universities across the country are corrupting the American youth through their revelation of a similar barrenness of conservative dogma.

Imagine, for example, that a young conservative is forced to rationally defend the conception that al-Qaida’s terrorist campaign against the United States justified the unilateral invasion and occupation of Iraq. Without reference to the emotional responses conjured by the horrific visual imagery of the Sep. 11 massacres or the unshaken faith in the infallible leadership of President George W. Bush, the student’s conviction may begin to waver. Intellectuals call this enlightenment; Baxley calls it intimidation.

Baxley’s campaign is not, unfortunately, an isolated incident of political extremism. The Academic Bill of Rights, which originated in the liberal oasis of New York, is intriguing conservatives across the nation, who wet their lips in anticipation of isolating and subjugating American intellectual institutions, the last true bastions of liberal thought in America.

This crusade has its roots in Campus Watch, a web-

based organization launched by pro-Israeli commentator Daniel Pipes, which identifies individual Middle East studies specialists as enemies of the United States and Israel. This campaign, which frequently misquotes and de-contextualizes the statements of academics, enjoys substantial financial backing and engages in practices of dubious legality to harass or intimidate professors into silence.

What these so-called “intellectual freedom” advocates really desire is the full-scale FOX-ization of academia. The ultimate goal of the conservatives is an academic community utterly devoid of substantive intellectual positions.

The mantra “fair and balanced” will dictate the syllabi of each individual professor while the patronizing motto “You Decide” will allow the student to formulate his own opinion entirely free of obsolete references to Socratic rationality.

While the inherent value of a “fair” academic community is unquestionable, do we really desire “balance” from our professors? Should a professor of South African history present equally-unbiased analyses of the racist ideology of apartheid and the liberation ideology of Nelson Mandela’s African

National Congress? Should an economist be forced to balance his analysis of Marxist and capitalist economic theories?

Perhaps when future academics teach the history of the early twenty-first century they will, as CNN and FOX News have already done, entirely abandon intellectual analyses of “hard news” topics like Iraq, nuclear proliferation. The economic and environmental consequences of globalization and instead just show (selectively censored) pictures, while saving the real analysis for “soft news” topics like the Michael Jackson trial, the sad case of Terry Schiavo and the re-marriage of Prince Charles.

Academic institutions already have measures in place to self-regulate their equitable treatment of all students, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexuality, religious affiliation and political ideology.

Such rigidly-enforced protocols of academic diversity undoubtedly enhance the intellectual atmosphere of the university. The academic protection of non-rational thinkers, who reject the fundamental premises of Socratic thought, will only undermine our institutions.

Songs should have lifelong meaning

I have nothing but love for my friend, sophomore Christopher Browder, who consistently entertains me with his knowledge of music. But I

disagreed with his point in last week’s column (“Memories Are The Essence of Music,” March 31), and I'll tell you why.

Pop culture critic Nick Hornby said, “If a song only reminds you of a certain place and time, then it probably didn't mean that much to you. Great songs should not come burdened

with associations, they should accompany you through all stages of life.”

Personally, Jeff Buckley’s “Last Goodbye” will be as poignant to me this May as it was four years ago.

Perspectives have a special opportunity

Elizabeth EllisG u e s t C o l u m n i s t

As I sit in the prime real estate study area of Benson University Center with the entrance doors in my

direct line of vision, my already-prone to wander mind notices the constant influx of prospective students and their parental

as perspectives seem today. I’m sure my parents and I walked straight to the Information Desk, just as they are doing. Luckily for them, however, I have yet to see any tears today like my mother cried in the middle of Benson as she said that she just had a “feeling” I would choose this university. The separation anxiety had started to hit her, even though I was only a junior in high school.

The biggest difference I notice today is just how young they all seem. Next to mom and dad, they still seem like kids. But I remember thinking the same thing of the incoming freshmen when I was a senior in high school. Perhaps the underlying issue I am failing to admit is that they seem so young because I have grown so much older. No longer a wide-eyed teenager on the verge of illusory college independence, I am approximately six weeks away from full-fledged “you’re on your own, say goodbye to Dad’s credit card” adulthood. I am no longer the teenager walking through those Benson doors.

This institution has challenged me, taught me, helped me, broadened me, given me confidence, kicked my butt on more than

one exam and through it all encouraged me to figure out who I am and “go confidently in the direction of my dreams.”

So I look at each perspective student with a tinge of jealousy that they still have four years of late night trips to Cookout, stressing for an accounting or P-Chem exam, March Madness, spring breaks in Key West, dodging puddles on the Mag Quad, sorority formal, being involved in every student organization at some point in time, living with your best friends and pondering the meaning of life just because you’re in college and think you know everything.

But that hint of jealousy washes away in an overwhelming sense of contentment and satisfaction with four years nothing short of wonderful, knowing that I’ve been there, done that and now must move on. So I give the next prospective student to walk in the door a knowing smile — as if I hold the key to this great adventure that is just within their reach and nearly without of mine. May their adventures be grand.

units as they head immediately to the Information Desk for help. Some wander around Benson, stopping to read every sign. Others cop a squat in the middle of all the frazzled students and silently gawk at their surroundings – college.

I can remember my first steps through those doors as a perspective on a spring day five years ago — just as wide-eyed

thought in the United States. Florida Republican Dennis

Baxley, who quite appropriately works as a funeral director in Ocala County, has introduced an Academic Freedom Bill of Rights in the Florida state legislature that would grant students, among other things, the right to sue “when professors use the Socratic method to force (them) to explain their theories in class.”

The Athenians condemned Socrates to death because his teachings, which employed the rigorously rational question-and-answer exchange known today as the Socratic method, corrupted the Athenian youth through their revelation of

This past week, the board of trustees approved a budget which will

increase faculty and staff salaries by 3.5 percent. After a long freeze, this raise may come as a relief to many, but the Old Gold & Black sees it as only the first step to improve the university’s attitude toward faculty and staff.

Three and a half percent is not a large number when you consider the fact that faculty at the university are already earning substantially less than those at our peer institutions. While it is commendable that the freeze has been lifted and salaries will increase, it is important to see beyond just the next year and really think about what the future of the university will be for faculty and staff – especially under a new administration.

In order for the university to be recognized as a nationally respected institution, it cannot rely on the success of its sports teams alone. The faculty builds the reputation of the university; diverse course offerings, small class sizes and approachable faculty are what bring quality students to any university.

In order for the university to retain and recruit quality faculty members, policies must be in place that make this institution an attractive place to work. As students, we have witnessed some of our favorite professors leave over the years, and while the university is replacing these faculty, it is important to note why they may have left, and why it is so hard to replace them.

The national reputation of the university is not going to be built on faculty who come here for one year and then leave as classes overflow because new faculty are not getting hired, and as students are unable to take the maximum number of hours because there are not enough course offerings. The university will be a respected, competitive institution when we are able to recruit and hire more quality faculty, as well as keep who we have.

Most of our peer institutions provide childcare for their faculty and staff. At the university, staff members receive a childcare subsidy, but faculty are left without a subsidy or facility for their children. For an institution with the motto Pro Humanitate, this is a horrible injustice. There are plenty of university-

owned houses surrounding campus; any of these houses could easily be converted into a childcare facility. The university is home to graduate programs in education and psychology; these students could staff this facility. There is a waiting list for work-study employees; a childcare facility would create new jobs for students. In addition, a childcare facility could help bring in revenue; offering a sliding scale fee for the facility would help keep it open and also give faculty and staff a viable option for their children. More importantly, opening a childcare facility would send the message that the university does in fact value its faculty and staff enough to help ensure that they can have a family and be successful as well.

In addition to improving policies for faculty and staff, the university needs to be willing to hire more faculty. This past fall, we witnessed the impact of faculty shortages at its worst when a large percentage of the freshman class found themselves without any courses and faculty found their classrooms literally overflowing with students trying to get into their classes. If the university insists on increasing the student body, more faculty must be hired to meet these numbers. This institution prides itself on small class sizes, but this concept is quickly disappearing.

Lack of faculty impacts life outside of the classroom as well. As faculty are forced to take on more classes, they will have less time to meet research demands from their departments, and will also have less one-on-one time with students.

This hurts the academic climate for students who value personal time with their professors, but more importantly, this has grave impacts on the goal of building the national reputation of the university. If faculty cannot devote their time to research, how will the university ever make its name known?

Faculty and staff salaries are just one piece of the complicated puzzle that makes an institution reputable and attractive. Our teachers build the university, and if we do not take steps to make the university a better place to work now, the new administration will have an even steeper uphill battle in years to come.

C o l u m n i s t

Capitalism encourages additional innovations

Ben HalfhillG u e s t C o l u m n i s t

Different ideas lead to a better economy as people try to top each other.

During its brief history as a political philosophy, free market capitalism has been

relentlessly criticized by left-leaning thinkers for being chaotic and uncontrolled. These accusations are true; capitalist governments leave their

owners and workers.But the chaos at the heart of

capitalism is a strength, not a weakness. It is the driving force behind the historically unprecedented growth and prosperity experienced by capitalist societies.

Fundamentally, economic growth depends on new, better ideas supplanting old orthodoxy.

The process of growth can be separated into generating, judging and implementing new ideas. The result is that better products are made using ever more efficient methods of production.

New ideas are best fostered in the fertile soil of chaos where mavericks and inventors are free to challenge tradition.

Rather than leaving the task of innovation up to a few government agencies, capitalism maximizes the generation of new ideas through radical decentralization. It taps the creative potential of all of society because every citizen is at liberty to

dream and experiment. No socialist bureaucracy can match the creative power of millions of minds in the free market.

By cultivating creativity through decentralization and government non-interference, capitalism generates the raw material necessary for economic growth.

But not all ideas are created equal; for every inventor of the light bulb

there is an inventor of broccoli-flavored ice cream. In order for new ideas to benefit society, the wheat must be separated from the chaff.

Once again, capitalist societies do not have any official responsibility for sorting new ideas into “productive” and “unproductive” categories. But forces emerge in the free market that filter out bad ideas.

When left unchecked, competition quickly eliminates unproductive companies. Meanwhile, productive ones are rewarded with survival and large profits. The firms that use the best ideas thrive while others die out.

The best available methods of production are spread as other profit-seeking firms copy the practices of innovative leaders.

Though none of the CEOs of these firms intend to benefit society, they are led to do so by their self-interest. They make better products more cheaply with the profit motive as their guide rather than any central plan or authority.

In many ways, the wild, dynamic process of economic growth parallels that of Darwinian evolution. Change occurs, and negative changes fall prey to competitors. Out of chaos, order emerges. This is an example of what the economist F.A. Hayek described as “spontaneous order” or as “a result of human action, but not human design.”

Although leaving society to a plan not of conscious design can be an unsettling idea, it is necessary for human advancement.

While the central planning boards of socialist countries have brought stagnation and poverty, the so-called chaos of free market capitalism has brought innumerable blessings to mankind, including effective medicine, plentiful food and rapid transportation. Only in the chaotic melee of free market capitalism can the creative forces so necessary to social evolution be unleashed.

Jacob Lyles is a senior economics and mathematics major.

Graduating from the university in four years or fewer is not an easy process. I’m now a senior, in the last stretch of my final

semester — managing seven courses and seeing the xenon lights at the end of the tunnel. In this period of my student life, the relationship

I deeply opposed the removal of Terri Schiavo’s life support systems. I could not understand

how Michael Schiavo, Terri’s husband who has gone on to father two children since his

happen in the foreseeable future. Numerous republicans and right-to-life advocates have paraded the Schiavo spectacle as evidence to how far the United States has moved toward devaluing human life.

Millions of dollars were pledged to protect Terri’s life, and one North Carolinian went so far as soliciting hit-men to murder Michael Schiavo.

For many conservatives, Terri Schiavo has become the poster child for the “culture of life” debate.

Drawing Schiavo’s situation as pitting two political parties, or two moral philosophies, against one another is exceedingly myopic.

For example, as governor of Texas, President George W. Bush signed the “Advance Directives Act” in 1999, allowing doctors with the support of a board of medical ethicists to discontinue “life-sustaining treatment,” including “both life-sustaining medications and artificial life support, such as mechanical breathing machines, kidney dialysis treatment and artificial nutrition or hydration,” independent of the family’s desires.

Bush supporters argue that he is not flip-flopping, because the 1999 law actually expands a mandatory notification period hospitals must give to families when life-support systems are being discontinued.

While the old law mandated a mere 72 hours notice, the 1999 law legislates ten days, offering a larger window of opportunity for families to find new facilities willing to care

for their relatives. What isn’t stated is that the 1999

law also dramatically expands the hospitals’ discretion in deciding when life support can be withdrawn.

Prior to 1999, hospitals could legally terminate life support only when death appeared imminent; the “Advance Directives Act” signed into law by Bush and supported by a coalition of right-to-life groups, allows hospitals to discontinue life preserving treatment if doctors forecast a patient’s condition will not improve within six months.

Since 1999, Terri Schiavo would have suffered the same fate in Texas as she did in Florida once doctors concluded her condition was not improving, regardless any opposition from her family.

It is difficult to believe that Ms. Schiavo would have lasted five years, let alone 15, under Texas law after 1999.

As profit margins have begun to trump patient care in many hospitals, patients on life support in Texas are under close scrutiny;

with medical costs always in mind, it should not be surprising that the 1999 law was expanded in 2003 to include children.

For instance, on March 15, 2005, almost six months to the day after he was born, Sun Hudson, over the vehement objections of his mother, was removed from life support in a Houston hospital after doctors determined his life-threatening condition was irreversible.

It is sad to say that clemency has a steep cost in Texas today. Terri Schiavo’s care in Florida was primarily paid for with money won in a malpractice suit against her doctors following her accident. in 1990

Medical malpractice reform, a pillar of the President’s second term agenda, would have greatly reduced the penalties against Terri’s doctors.

Further, the medications she received that were paid for by Medicaid are currently on the Republicans’ budgetary chopping block.

We should not indulge ourselves into thinking that the issues underlying long-term care for comatose patients run along clear political or ideological lines. Rather, what is clear is that if Terri Schiavo had lived in Texas after 1999 and not had the money to pay for treatment herself, the clock on her life would have started ticking a long time ago, no matter what her husband or family had to say.

Ben Halfhill, ’04, graduated with a major in political science.

Rather than leaving the task of innovation up to a few government agencies, capitalism maximizes the

generation of new ideas through radi-cal decentralization. It taps the creative

potential of all of society because every citizen is at liberty to dream and

wife’s catastrophe, could remain so unmoved by her parents’ pleas. I questioned a legal system that permitted Terri Schiavo to waste away while her parents’ legal appeals remained in limbo. And finally, I shuddered at the thought that Terri’s inevitable end could only come after two weeks of dehydration and starvation.

As a nation, Terri Schiavo’s tragedy should mobilize us to discuss the logistics behind the medical magic that can now artificially sustain life almost indefinitely. Should we ever sanction the removal of these life-sustaining technologies? Who should decide when life support should end? When death is the inevitable outcome, should we promote the use of life-ending agents?

An honest discussion concerning such questions probably won’t

Since 1999, Terri Schiavo would have suffered the same fate in Texas as she did in Florida once doctors concluded

Students asked to give too muchAt Senior Salute, students are peppered with requests from University Advancement office.

Dustin SmithG u e s t C o l u m n i s t

between me and the academic institution I attend should be mutually beneficial and positive. I wish that were the case; but if it were, I would not be writing this article.

I have really enjoyed my time at the university; the many positive experiences I have had and relationships I’ve developed greatly outweigh the parts worthy of criticism. There are, however, parts of this university’s operation that I think are misdirected and completely inappropriate.

Along with other graduating students, the amount of university marketing aimed at us has been raised from “moderately high” to “turbo.” For the number of university-sponsored advertisements I have received, both here and home, to my parents, I would have preferred a $5 check for the postage instead.

Most of my class, when asked to attend the “mandatory” Senior Salute, did, and then left, wondering, “What was that?” Quite simply, the Senior Salute event was a thinly covered attempt to shake a few more dollars off graduating students. For those who didn’t go, Senior Salute took place in Benson University Center earlier this semester and was made up of a bunch of tables that each graduating student was required to visit. Some of the tables were made up of university administrative departments, while many were third parties, peddling graduation gear and alma matar memorabilia. It was like viewing a web site that had more ads than content, and then being forced to click on all of the banner ads.

An insidious brochure from the university’s marketing forces came to my attention – the Deacon Club asking for my membership. For only a triple-digit dollar figure, I could pre-register for the Deacon Club and get season tickets for basketball games. Sound good? Not when you can’t get access to the games when you are actually attending the school!

Think about marketing in terms of its function: its objective is to sell demand — trying to make someone want a service, or convincing them that they need it. When you are a top university, it should be a safe bet that your consumers are intelligent and capable of making educated choices. Though there are a range of reasons why people attend college, the arrangement of daffodils and amount of network support are probably not the decisive factors. At least, let’s hope not. A good reputation stands for itself. I think it is insulting to know that the university spends so much money on marketing and campus “development” when we do not even have a real student center. If I were in charge, the first step I would take to “advance” this university would be to liquidate the University Advancement department and reallocate the funding to areas that could actually advance the university, such as research, student life and academic personnel.

“AL-AN WILL-IAMS!” CLAP-CLAP, CLAP-CLAP-CLAP!

The chant would come like clockwork at the two-minute mark of a Demon Deacon basketball blowout, calling for rarely seen guard Alan Williams, a 2004 graduate and four-year walk-on under both Skip Prosser and former coach Dave Odom.

“My career stats look like they came from one game,” Williams said.

Never a headliner in his Deacon playing days, Williams is now making a name for himself with his much anticipated book Walk-On: Life From the End of the Bench.

The book, published by New Heights Press, is expected to be released in May.

“I’m very excited about the book’s release,” Williams said. “It will hope-fully provide encouragement to players and parents alike, at any level, who don’t see the court much.”

Dedicated to “All those sitting at the end

of the bench,” Walk-On’s theme is one of hope and faith to persevere through any and all obstacles.

“Every year I played I wanted to quit,” Williams said.

But he kept playing. Why?At the end of Williams’ senior year, a

Greensboro reporter asked Williams this question, and he did not know exactly how to respond.

So he went back to a notebook of journal entries he had begun accumulating after a victory against the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill during his junior year.

“This is what, in the end, made me write the book,” Williams said. “I spent three thousand hours over four years playing basketball with no real result. The book answers the question why I did that.”

Williams openly portrays his journey from a skinny former high school ath-lete to non-scholarship player, where he underwent struggles as a walk-on that many never imagine.

Williams uses Walk-On to explain bas-ketball as a metaphor for life. Through an unyielding hope and perpetual faith, one can accomplish unimaginable dreams.

The book, separated into 30 chapters, tells many stories of Williams’ life over his Wake Forest career.

Walk-On mentions Skip Prosser, Wil-

liams’ teammates, but even better, it expands on the relationships among team itself.

“My freshman year I didn’t have a name on my locker,” Williams said. “I didn’t even really know if I was on the team – I had no gear. But then (former Deacon guard) Robert O’Kelley gave me his bag, and I knew I was in.”

These are the types of relationships Williams spent three months outlining after an NCAA Tournament loss to Saint Joseph’s his senior year.

Even the assembly and production of the book has not been easy for Williams, a concept certainly not foreign to the fall 2004 graduate.

After staying up until 3 a.m. routinely all summer and limiting his sleep, Williams was rejected by two publishers, both of whom called his story too narrow.

Not one to give up easily, Williams spent last semester and all of January finishing his book, finally checking into a hotel for three days to tie up loose ends.

“After I finished in the hotel,” Williams said, “I sent the copy to a publisher in Austin, Texas, and I got it accepted.”

His final edit was published March 28, leaving Williams both excited and a little

The baseball team refused to let Duke get the best of them in their 129th meeting. While the Deacs lead the all-time series 81-47, Duke won the previous three meetings sweeping the team in Durham last season. This was not the case April 1-3.

The Deacons, which entered the game 11-16, 4-8 ACC, were looking for redemption for the three tough one-run losses last year.

In the first game of the series, sophomore Josh Ellis took the mound for the Dea-cons.

While rain threatened to postpone the game, the Deacons’ offense was deter-mined to play, scoring five runs in the first two innings. Senior second baseman Ben Ingold was the main driving force behind the early offensive production, scoring the first

run of the game and then in the bottom of the second blasting a two-run homer to left. The Blue Devils; however, would not go quietly on the day and answered, scoring two runs in both the third and fourth innings.

In the bottom of the fifth, Ingold led off the inning with a walk, and senior catcher J.B. Tucker followed with a single. Sophomore first baseman Brendan Enick was walked on four straight pitches, and senior centerfielder Matt Miller punched a hit past the pitcher to score Ingold. Freshman shortstop Andy Goff was walked with the bases loaded to score Tucker.

Later, in the bottom of the eighth inning, Ingold singled to score sophomore third baseman Matt Antonelli from second base. Tucker then followed with a single, and senior designated hitter Ryder Mathias hit a single to the opposite field to score Ingold.

Enick hit a deep sacrifice fly to score Tucker

from third for the 11th run of the game. With Ellis out after seven innings pitched and only four runs given up, the Wake Forest bullpen had its worst performance of the year, sur-rendering six runs in the top of the ninth.

Junior closer Kyle Young was forced to come in the top of the ninth and got the final out with runners on first and third. Ellis earned the win to improve to 4-2 and Young was credited with his second save of the season.

The Deacs took game one with a final score of 11-10.

“The defense played well and we managed enough hits to ensure a win,” Ellis said.

The game on April 2 appeared to be a xerox of the game the day before. Sopho-more Charlie Mellies started the game and pitched extremely well even, despite the one-

Track battles weather but continues to break personal records

By Matt EnnisOld Gold & Black Reporter

The track and field team set six new personal records and recorded eight season best scores when the sprinters and field event athletes traveled to George C. Griffin Track in Atlanta, April 2.

With up to 40 mph gusts of wind and occasional snow flurries, the weather provided an interesting variable to individual perfor-mances at Georgia Tech.

“Georgia Tech is always a good meet with good competition,” junior Brad Wharton said, “but

you couldn’t worry about times this weekend since we had 35 mph winds which don’t make for opti-mal running conditions.”

The team didn’t let Mother Nature get in the way, however, and performed to the fullest.

Freshman Melissa Council sprinted to a personal and season best mark of 24.37 in the 200-meter dash to finish 15th, while junior Hanna Bremler ran in the 800-meter run in her best time of the season, 2:14.08. Junior Mary Giardina also ran in the 800, set-ting a personal record.

“I’m proud to be a part of the team during one of its best starts and I hope we can keep compet-ing well throughout the rest of the season,” Council said.

Freshman Michelle Duffey finished sixth in the 400-meter

By Jason MazdaSenior Columnist

The Major League baseball season began this week, but unless you’re a purist, there’s a good chance you don’t care.

While some people just love watching the game regardless of who is playing, many potential fans are disinterested because

their hometown team doesn’t have a chance of even making the playoffs, let alone making the World

Series. Only about half of the teams in each league even have a prayer of making the postseason because the league has become so top-heavy.

So what is the solution? Major League Baseball needs to catch up with the NFL, NBA and NHL (if it ever comes back) and add more playoff spots. The NFL has 32 teams while the NBA, NHL and MLB each have 30. A total of 12 NFL teams make the playoffs each year while 16 make it from both the NHL and NBA. How-ever, only eight teams make the playoffs each year in MLB.

Nowhere is this problem more evident than in the American League East. The league has hyped the Yankees and Red Sox to the point that you might actually forget that there are other teams. It is almost a given that either Boston or New York teams will take the division and the other will win the AL Wild Card.

So why should fans of the Balti-more Orioles, Tampa Bay Devil Rays and Toronto Blue Jays even pay attention? Well, that’s a good question.

There are similar, though less grave, situations in the other divisions. In the AL Central, does anyone really believe the Royals have a shot? Or how about the Pirates in the NL Central? Or the Nationals in the NL East?

These teams have no shot what-soever because they would have to work miracles just to have third-place finishes this season. In the other leagues, a third-place finish could get a team into the playoffs, creating months of excitement toward the end of the season and for at least the first week of the postseason. In baseball, a third-place finish means absolutely

Deac of the Week

Making Us Proud

Senior tennis player Karin Coetzee, an All-ACC selection and recipient of the ACC postgraduate schol-arship, earned the team’s only singles victory against No. 11-ranked Miami April 3. Against North Carolina March 31, Coetzee and doubles partner sophomore

Alex Hirsch had the only doubles victory. Coetzee, competing at the No. 2 spot, also had a singles victory against North Carolina. Last season Coetzee was also named All-ACC and led the team with 28 singles victories.

New England Rev-olution’s James Riley, a former Wake Forest soccer player, helped the Revs come back from two goals behind

in their season opener against the San Jose Earthquakes April 5. Riley assisted forward Taylor Twellman in his second goal that tied the game at 2-2. Riley played in 82 games for the Demon Deacons and started in 79 of them. He had three goals and 16 assists, totaling 22 points, during his career as a Deac. He is tied for 11th in Wake Forest history in the all-time assists chart.

Redshirt freshman linebackers Aaron Curry and Antonio Wilson each had a fumble recovery. Offensively, redshirt sophomore wide receiver Kenneth Moore made several nice catches and redshirt freshman Richard Belton, formerly a fullback, helped with offensive rushing. Redshirt freshman placekicker Sam Swank made attempts from 42 and 45 yards away, and his attempt from 55 yards out fell just short of the crossbar.

Club ice hockey team’s season comes to an endBy Don Pogoda

Old Gold & Black Reporter

Of the club sports’ seasons here that are the most enduring, the club ice hockey team’s has to be one of them. With their first game on Oct. 1, the team’s season lasted throughout the remainder of the fall, the entire winter and recently concluded in the spring.

Suffering a hard 5-3 loss April 4, the Deacs finished second in the Piedmont Hockey Association for the second straight season.

“It’s kind of sad that the season’s over,” club president senior Max Langfitt said. “But looking back on the year, this was probably the most talented team we’ve had and the most fun I’ve had playing hockey during my four years here.”

The club ice hockey team plays in the PHA, a men’s ice hockey league here in Winston-Salem in which games are played at the Annex, right next to Joel Coliseum.

The PHA season consists of 24 games throughout the year and seven teams with players from around the Triad.

The regular season begins in mid-October with playoffs usually ending at the begin-ning of April.

Aside from playing in the PHA, the Deacs also played exhibition games with collegiate teams as well. This year alone, in which the Deacs played more games than ever before, the team traveled to Durham, Charlotte, Chapel Hill, Greensboro, Fort Bragg and Nashville.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that next season will be the best Wake has ever had,” sophomore Chris Lee said, “and I’ll also say that next year, we are beating Duke.”

With 27 players, Langfitt and vice-presi-dent senior Tyler Jordan did an exceptional job balancing the playing time. Each player was given the chance to play in the PHA and exhibition games.

The team consisted of three players in the MBA program, six seniors, five juniors, five sophomores, and a class of eight tal-ented freshmen. Most of the players come from the north east, but some come from as far north as Canada and as west as Colorado.

After closing out the season with a record of 21-11-2, the Deacs captured the PHA Regular Season Title for the third consecutive year. And the team is only getting better.

“I’m really excited about this upcoming season; we’ve got a strong roster with very talented players,” Lee said. “Within the next few years we’d like to ... really make a dent in the hockey community.”

In the annual All-Star game, seven Deacs were elected to play: Langftt, MBA student Sean Lawrie, junior goalie Dave Pappano, sophomores Lee, Jason McCarty, and Parker Blackiston, and freshman Tim Chilleri.

McCarty led the team in goals, with 17 on the season, and in points, with 41.

Although the Deacs will lose their senior leadership and experience, their talent con-tinues to grow. During the PHA season, all the games have free admission at the Annex and are worth watching.

If you are interested in joining the team, contact Chris Leeho, who will be taking over the team next year, at [email protected] or send an e-mail to [email protected]. To see the team’s webpage, visit http://www.wfu.edu/Student-organizations/icehockey/.

The club ice hockey team featured a myriad of students ranging from undergrads to students seeking their MBAs. Moreover, players came from all over the U.S. from as far north as Canada and as far west as Colorado.

Paul defeats 21st-ranked player, moves up 26 spotsBy Bert Phillips

Old Gold & Black Reporter

Despite yet another strong showing, the Deacs lost another ACC match to Georgia Tech April 3 on the road. The Yellow Jackets improved to 10-7 on the season and managed their second ACC win, while the Deacs fell to 4-3 in confer-ence play and 10-5 overall.

That number, 4-3, is also the score of three out of the Deacs’ five losses this season. Their play has been stellar, but the team has been unable to consistently put together victories in close matches. “Those 4-3 matches do take a toll,” Head Coach Jeff Zinn said. “You either rebound from them or you let them affect you in an adverse way. We have got to have guys step up and get over being nervous in tight situations.”

This attitude is something that has not emanated from the Deacs tennis team so far this season, but expectations piled high after a 7-0 start, and now, with loses in four out of five matches, the frustration is mounting.

“Pressure situations are always a part of tennis and you must learn to handle them at this level,” Zinn said. “We have some players that handle these situations very well and others that don’t.”

Against the Yellow Jackets, Tech won the game in singles play, with most of the matches staying close for the duration of the match. Senior Derrick Spice lost a three-set match to David North, 6-4, 4-6, 3-6, while freshman Marius Adamski also lost 6-4, 1-6, 6-3 to Georgia Tech’s Jordan Delass.

The bright spot for the Deacs came in the form of sophomore Todd Paul. Play-ing in the No. 1 spot, Paul beat Jose Luis Muguruza 6-2, 6-7, 6-3. Muguruza was the 21st-ranked player in the nation. Paul’s victory was all the more impressive after having beaten Clemson’s 18th-ranked Nathan Thompson in the Deacs’ March 29 win over the Tigers.

Paul, previously ranked No. 82, shot up the rankings 26 spots to No. 56 after his win against Muguruza.

“He is having a terrific year,” Zinn said. “He has continued to excel and get better every match he plays. He has put himself in a position to make the NCAA Individual Championships and that has motivated him.”

Moreover, its not just Paul’s physical ability that has gotten him so far in his athletic career.

“He is a great player and is extremely intelligent on the tennis court,” Zinn said. “He has a very competitive nature and that

needs to rub off on the other players.”The Deacs’ other singles win came from

Junior Brett Ross, who beat Marko Raje-vac 6-3, 7-5 in the No. 3 spot.

The doubles point also went to the Deacs despite junior Joe Bates and Paul’s lost to Muguruza and Sukhwa Young 8-6.

The other two matches were wins, as Spice and Ross beat Rajevac and North 8-2, while Adamski and sophomore Andrew Hamar beat Noah Tyler and Scott Blackmon, 8-2.

The Deacs lost two more singles matches to lose the clinching points, however. Tech’s Zachary Rath beat Hamar, and Georgia Gvlesiani ousted sophomore Charles Sartor, both matches by the score of 6-1, 6-4.

Despite their recent close losses, the Deacs still have a more-than-legitimate chance to wreak some real havoc in the rest of the regular season. The team’s next match is against North Carolina April 9 at home.

“The UNC match will be huge,” Zinn said. “It is Derrick (Spice’s) last home match and it has huge implications on the ACC race and where we will be seeded in the tournament. We need to regroup and get a win, every win now is important for postseason play.”

Sophomore standout Todd Paul moved from 82nd to 56th in the rankings after defeating 21st- ranked Jose Luis Muguraza of Georgia Tech.

Deacs bedeviled by Duke at Bryan National Invitational

By Boomer KennedyOld Gold & Black Reporter

For the fifth-straight year, the Duke University women’s golf team won the Bryan National Col-legiate, finishing 69 strokes ahead of Wake Forest, which ended the weekend tied for 12th. The tourna-ment, which the Deacs won in 2000, was co-hosted by Wake Forest and UNC-Greensboro and was held April 1-3.

“I think we were disappointed a bit in our scores, but overall the students gave their whole effort,” Head Coach Dianne Dailey said. “I think the stu-dents worked really hard, and I think we made some mistakes that we’d like to get back, but that's what we’re going to be working on this week.”

Team members echoed Dailey’s thoughts and are quickly putting the tournament behind them.

“I think overall, as a team, we were not very pleased with our play this weekend,” sophomore Mandy Goins said. “However, we definitely learned some things that will help us in the ACC tournament.”

On the tournament’s first day, April 1, all five Deacons, fired rounds under 80. The team score was compiled from the best four scores each day, of the five players.

Freshman Laura Crawford posted a one-over-par 73 in the tournament’s first round, a score which turned out to be a weekend’s best for the Deacs.

As the day came to a close, Crawford found herself tied for 16th-place overall, thanks to 15 pars in the first round.

Senior Christine Hallstrom converted three birdie opportunities and finished with a first-round 76, while sophomore Maggie Simons opened her weekend with a 77.

Goins also contributed a first-round 77, while junior Julie McKenna fired a 79. Goins and McKenna both finished with 13 pars in the first round.

Wake Forest shot 303 as a team in the opening round, 19 strokes behind leaders Duke and Georgia – good for ninth-place after day one.

“I was really proud of all the girls because we went out there and gave it all we had on every shot,” Simons said. “I felt good about my ball-striking, but just needed to sharpen up my short game and putting.”

The Deacs’ solid first-round play did not carry over as well into the tournament’s second day.

Simons was the lone Deacon to shoot below 80 in the second round, firing a 78 and moving

her into a tie for 40th place in individual competi-tion.

Hallstrom shot 81 in the second round, while Goins finished with an 83. McKenna also posted an 83 while Crawford fell out of the top 20, fol-lowing a second-round score of 89.

After a team score of 325 in the second round, the Deacs found themselves 51 strokes behind Duke, which led the tournament after two rounds.

“We had a little bit of everything that second day,” Dailey said. “We had 30 mph winds, we had hail and we had rain. It was just a miserable day to be out there.”

“When you have those kinds of conditions, it’s very tough to keep your focus and your concen-tration, and to know how to play the different shots.”

After an 81 in the tournament’s third round, Simons wrapped up a team-best three-day total of 236, 20 shots-over-par. Goins posted a third-round 79 and finished with a three-day total of 239.

Simons and Goins were the lone Deacons to crack the tournament’s top-50 as Simons finished tied for 41st-place and Goins finished tied for 48th-place. Simons was also among the tournament leaders in par-4 scoring, posting a par-4 scoring-average of 4.27.

A final-round of 83 gave Hallstrom a three-day total of 240, while Crawford posted a three-day score of 243 following a three-round 81. McKenna added a three-day total of 249 after firing an 87 on the tournament’s final day.

Hallstrom finished tied for 54th-place, Crawford finished in 64th-place and McKenna finished tied for 73rd-place.

As a team, Wake Forest shot 952 in the three-day event, tied for 12th-place with rivals North Caro-lina. Conference powerhouse, Duke fired an 833 to take home the title while fellow ACC schools Virginia and North Carolina State finished eighth and 10th, respectively.

“The conditions were so poor and the students really didn’t complain,” Dailey said. “They hung in there, and it was just a rough weekend overall for us.”

Hallstrom leads Deacons to a 12th-place finish in a field of 17 schools including Duke, UNC

Hallstrom

The eighth annual Bryan National Collegiate, played at The Champions Course at Bryan Park in Browns Summit, featured 17 schools, including five from the ACC.

“I thought this tournament was especially tough mentally,” Goins said, “but I was proud of our team for hanging in there even though we weren't playing our best.”

The Deacs have this weekend off, but will compete the following weekend, April 15-17, in the ACC Tournament, hosted by the Carmel Country Club in Charlotte.

“As a team, I think we're just going to try to learn from our mistakes and look forward to the conference tournament,” Goins said. “We definitely feel like we can play with anyone and are expecting to come back from the ACC tournament with a win.”

Dailey, too, is looking to rebound at ACCs after tweaking the team’s play.

“Overall the students are hitting the ball well, but we need to continue to work on our short game,” Dailey said. “We just need to make things sharper than they were this past weekend, but I definitely think we can win, and I know the students think they can win.”

The Deacons capped off an impressive spring season and consistently performed well in all of their four tournaments.

Of their match-play, the team finished in the top-10 standings in three of the four tournaments, not to mention blowing away the competition and taking first place in the SunTrust Lady Gator Invitational March 4-6.

In addition to their first place finish, the team had fourth, sixth and ninth place finishes, as well as their 12th-place tie in their last tournament, the Bryan Invitational.

Fresh off a four-game winning streak, the women’s tennis team was unable to get wins in their home matches against North Carolina and Miami this past week. Both teams were ranked in the top 20, and the Deacons were forced to play the role of the underdog each time.

However, the Deacs made up for their ACC losses with a spectacular 6-1 April 6 over 12th-ranked Duke.

The win marked the Blue Devil’s first road ACC loss in 14 years.

The team started off strong, stealing the doubles point by winning two out of three matches. The No. 15-ranked pairing of senior Karin Coetzee and sophomore Alex Hirsch easily won 8-2, while sophomore Blakely Offutt and senior Danielle Schwartz slipped by their oppoenents 9-7.

The Deacs didn’t stop and continued to domi-nate in singles play, as the top four seeds as well as the No. 6 seed were victorious.

No. 1 seed Coetzee thumped Jackie Carelton 6-3, 6-0 and sophomore, 66th-ranked Ashlee Davis came from behind to beat 44th-ranked Katie Blaszak 5-7, 6-1 (10-8) in a tie-breaker.

Senior Katie Martzolf handled Lauren Arasu 6-4, 6-2 in the No. 3 spot and Hirsch continued to roll defeating Clelia Deltour, 7-5, 6-0.

Freshman Jenna Loeb rounded out play with a win over Tory Zawacki, 6-7 (4-7), 6-4, (10-3).

The women dropped their match against 16th-ranked North Carolina 4-3 March 31. Davis was paired with Martzolf in the top doubles spot, but the duo dropped a close match, 9-7 to the fifth-ranked doubles tandem in the nation. Coetzee and Hirsch were able to pull their match out in the second slot by a score of 8-4. The two are ranked 15th nationally in

doubles play. Offutt and Schwartz filled in the third doubles spot, but fell 8-4.

In singles play, Davis was unable to come out victorious in her flight one match against Aniela Mojzis, the 27th-ranked player in the nation; she lost, 6-1, 7-5. Coetzee won in the second spot, beating 20th-ranked Kendall Cline, 6-0, 6-1. Martzolf pushed her set to three matches, but lost, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3. Schwartz, in the fifth singles spot, fell by a score of 6-2, 6-3, while Loeb, playing in the sixth slot, won her match, 6-2, 6-3.

“I thought it was a hard fought match, and it came down to 4-3 again,” said Loeb. “We were right there with some chances, but overall I think everyone fought out there. It just didn’t go our way.”

After two days off, the Deacons went up against an even tougher team in the 11th-ranked Miami Hurricanes April 3. Despite some well-played tennis, Miami won, 6-1.

In doubles play, Coetzee and Hirsch played in the top spot for a change but lost 8-2. Mar-tzolf and Davis faced a similar fate in flight two doubles losing, 8-3, and Schwartz and Offutt managed to get a victory, winning, 8-4.

In singles play, Davis went up against the top-ranked player in the nation, Megan Bradley. Davis, who is ranked 66th nationally, fought hard but could not pull off the upset as she lost 6-1, 6-1. Coetzee, the senior leader, took home the lone win in single play for the Deacons. She pulled out her flight two match despite being outplayed in the first set, winning by a score of 3-6, 7-5, 6-2.

Hirsch and Martzolf lost in the third and fourth slots.

Likewise, neither Loeb or Schwartz could get wins in their singles matches as each lost in straight sets. The women will next travel to Blacksburg to play Virginia Tech April 9.

Deacs: Track sets goals high for ACC Tournamenthurdles with a time of 1:03.78 that pro-vided her with a top-10 mark in the ACC this season, a new personal record and a season best time.

In the field events, junior Lindsay Neu-berger tossed her second regional-qualify-ing mark of the season in the shot put, finishing second. Senior Kayla Gassman recorded the season’s best Deacon javelin throw of 37.56 meters.

Junior Mike Loyd ran a conference best 21.30 in the 200-meter dash and freshman Michael Bingham also ran in the same event, earning an ACC top-10 mark. Loyd participated in the 110-meter hurdles as well, earning a team best and regional qualifying time.

Freshman Ben Renner set a new per-sonal record and team best this season with a time of 59.08 in the 400-meter hurdles.

For the most part, the team was pleased with its overall performance.

“I felt that this weekend we were able to prove to ourselves that despite the cold weather we can still set personal records and do well,” Council said.

Wake Forest is off to one of the best

outdoor seasons in recent school history. After seventh-place finishes by both the men and women at the ACC Indoor Championship in March, the team is looking forward to improvement and retribution. Paced by a strong group of underclassmen, the Deacons look to this outdoor season to show just how far they have come.

After successful performances at the Wake Forest Open and Stanford Invita-tional, the team’s hopes are high for this season, including a possible top-5 finish at the ACC Championship.

“The team is off to one of the best starts in history, but that statement doesn’t do justice to just how hard this team works and our potential,” Bingham said. “I think that we're going to be the best in history, which was our aim at the begin-ning of the season, and I don't think we've lost sight of that goal.”

The conditions proved to be vastly distracting although it is not evident from the team’s numbers.

“Everyone seemed to put the weather behind them and just focused on beating the guy next to them,” Wharton said.

The Deacons go on to the Sam Howell Memorial in Princeton, N.J. April 8-9.

“I couldn’t wait for it to come out,” Wil-liams said, “but I’m nervous that I can’t make any more changes. I’ve sent copies to family, friends, my high school English teacher – I don’t want any mistakes.”

Mistakes seem unlikely: The premise is simple and the message is clear.

Chicago and Philadelphia as well as Barry Bonds’ San Fransisco Giants. That’s quite a few potential fans that the league has definately missed out on over the years.

And it’s not just those fans. Even the bottom feeders would be affected in a positive way by the addition of more playoff spots.

The Royals, Pirates and Nationals have no shot right now, but their fans could at least hold out hope for a little

longer if there were more spots avail-able.

While purists will undoubtedly argue that the system is fine the way it is, I pose this question: what’s the most exciting time of year for baseball fans? The answer is playoff time.

So why not extend playoff time by another week each year, while at the same time gaining the interest of thou-sands of fans?

That’s the question.

Men’s golf battles through weather for 16th By Caitlin O’Grady

Assistant Sports Editor

The men’s golf team shot a 317 in the third round of play to finish 16th in the Augusta State Invitational, held April 2-3 in Augusta, Ga.

Augusta State, ranked 14th in nation, took first in the tournament with a score of 290, just two strokes over par. Ten of the nation’s top-26 teams competed in the tournament, including third-ranked Georgia and ninth-ranked Duke.

After the first day of tournament play, the Deacs were in 13th place and just 15 strokes behind the tournament leader.

The next day, the 18 holes scheduled were bumped to Sunday morning due to poor weather.

“The first day there were 40 mph wind gusts which created a lot of difficulties for us trying to hit the ball,” freshman Chris McCartin said.

Additionally, the team was missing several of their

key players, who had other obligations and could not travel.

The Deacs were led by McCartin, who finished the third-round with a score of 75, the team’s lowest score. McCartin finished 21 over par to tie for 50th place with fellow Deacon, junior Kyle Reifers. Reif-ers shot rounds of 78, 79 and 80.

Junior Alex Yates got off to a rough start, shooting 84 in the first round, but managed to better his scores and tie for 70th after second and third rounds of 79. Also tying for 70th was junior Doug Manchester who shot rounds of 78, 81 and 83.

This weekend Wake Forest will play in their final tournament before the ACC Championships April 15-17.

“(This weekend) the conditions were really difficult so I think we can learn from that and become better for the ACC’s,” McCartin said.

The team travels to Cary, to compete in the Court-yard by Marriott Intercollegiate April 8-9.

Twelfth Night delivers witty banterBy Caitlin Kenney

Life Editor

There’s something about taking Shake-speare out of the pages and putting it on the stage which gives it new life and significance.

When the eternal bard conceived Twelfth Night, I somehow doubt he envisioned pagodas, dragons and pat-terned silks, but the university theatre department skillfully managed to pull off their Asian-themed interpretation of this Shakespearean comedy.

When I heard that Twelfth Night was taking an Eastern turn, I was originally skeptical, but in actuality the setting has little effect on the production as a whole.

The cast still speaks Shakespearean English (with varied success) and the staging of the play is virtually unaffected by the setting. The jades and corals of the Chinese landscape merely serve as an original backdrop for the unfolding of this quirky comedy.

Most college students are limited to stuttering recitations in their English 160 courses in British literature, an experi-ence that leaves one either in a state of

If they got nothing else right, at least the title is appropriate. Sin City, as its title suggests, is an in-depth meditation on wrongdoing. However, director Robert Rodriguez’s take on Frank Miller’s graphic novels is also an original work of art, a creative take on cinema, and most importantly, a shocking experience.

Basin City, the post-apocalyptic hell-hole meets 1940s noir nightscape setting of the film, is filled with prostitutes, hood-lums, corrupt cops and murderers, and that’s not even counting the cannibalistic community living in the ‘burbs.

The city serves as a hub for the plot and many themes in the movie. It proves to be an interesting unifying tactic for a film which lacks chronological organization. Sin City is not your run-of-the-mill movie; the plot is based on three independent novels of Miller’s, all of which share the same depraved urban setting, but few other similarities.

The first story centers on Marv, a drunken, brutish giant of a man. Played by Mickey Rourke, Marv has something of a crush on a lovely local hooker - so when she is assassinated and he is framed for the murder, he goes on a quest of blind vengeance, killing person after person until everyone responsible is vanquished.

He comes off as strangely likable, despite torturing and killing dozens of men while struggling with his own insan-ity. This is perhaps due to his comical exchanges, as when he answers the ques-tion, “What do you know?” by saying, “I know it’s weird to eat people.”

Abruptly, his storyline is cut off and Clive Owen – playing a somewhat heroic (but mostly just lucky) Dwight – takes over. Dwight becomes embroiled in a struggle between the Amazon-like prosti-tute warriors of Old Town and the corrupt officials trying to take it over.

Part of Dwight’s mission is to dispose of the severed head of Jacky-boy, played by Benecio Del Toro. Del Toro is hilari-ous in this role, exemplifying the movie’s exaggerated, self-aware comedy.

It seems like this feud is going to be the central theme of the rest of the plot, but then the movie jumps backward in time to document John Hartigan’s struggle to protect Nancy Callahan, played by the absolutely stunning Jessica Alba. Harti-gan is played by Bruce Willis, who is one of the few actors capable of pulling off some of Sin City’s ridiculous one-liners.

There are several ties between Harti-gan’s story and the other two, but for the most part they are related only in that they occur around the metaphori-cal setting of Basin City. The metaphor resoundingly imprinted in Basin City is that of the subconscious.

The fact that basins are sub-land is not coincidental. The city represents a Freud-ian storehouse of all the Id’s bestial drives: sex, violence, dominance and even penis

Pilot Mountain serves as a stress relieverBy Sara Bivin

Photography Editor

Let’s face it, life is really busy right now and finding time off for yourself or to have a good time with friends is a challenge.

So breathe in the mountain air and let the breathtaking vista take you away from all of the worries of the papers you have to write, that test that you haven’t studied for and those 150 pages of read-ing you forgot to do for tomorrow.

A trip to Pilot Mountain is the perfect de-stressor, and its proximity allows for a quick day trip or an overnight getaway. It also offers a myriad of dif-ferent activities.

A mere 30 minute drive from campus, Pilot Mountain is extremely acces-sible.

Past the entrance to mountain, you see a beautiful, winding drive taking you all of the way up to the summit, past several bike trails and the information office.

There are also places where you can stop and barbecue or set up camp for the night.

At the summit, there’s a large parking lot with several trails leading off in dif-ferent directions.

One direction will take you to the famous “Big Pinnacle,” which rises 1,400 feet from the base, the bare rock knob on top that juts out at least 200 feet. On the way to Big Pinnacle you pass through Little Pinnacle.

There are various lookout points situ-ated in different directions on top of Little Pinnacle.

You can see for miles in all directions; the soft rolling hills, farms, forests and the far-off skyline of Winston-Salem. The scope is amazing.

In the other direction there is a trail that will lead towards a more rigorous hike

down and around the less-steep side of the mountain.

This trail is much more densely wooded and serves as a better nature hike than the previous one.

Rock climbing is yet another fun activ-ity to do on the mountain for the most adventurous students on campus.

Rappelling off of various rock faces around the mountain is an alterna-tive, though these two activities are not allowed on Big Pinnacle.

In order to do either, you must be registered with the park office before you begin.

If trekking around the hills isn’t your thing, Pilot Mountain also offers canoe-ing down the nearby Yadkin River.

The part of the river that passes through Pilot Mountain State Park is said to be the most scenic part of the entire river, with enormous trees hanging over the banks and little islands dotted throughout.

You can also go fishing in the river which is abundant in catfish, sunfish and crappie.

Feel free to bring lunch or dinner with you as picnic tables are offered at the campgrounds, the summit and along the river.

If you have time for an overnight trip, there are three different camp sights you can check out.

There is family camping, which is located towards the bottom of the mountain, which boasts 49 camp sights, each of which has a grill, table and a pad for the tents. You don’t have to give up hot showers either, as there are facilities nearby.

The other camping options are the canoe camping sites on the bigger of the two islands in the Yadkin and the youth tent camping site.

This is located on the north side of the Yadkin River, and features tables, a

fireside gathering and outhouses. While these sites are perfect if you are

planning on camping with a large group of friends, reservations must be made ahead of time.

Enjoy your day relaxing, hiking, canoe-ing or just sitting and relishing being in the great outdoors.

Directions to Pilot Mountain are as

follows: Turn left on University Parkway, and

follow it until you get to the exit for 52-North (just before Cookout).

Drive on 52 for around 15 miles until you come to the Pilot Mountain State Park.

Turn left out of the exit, and follow the signs leading to the mountain.

confusion or boredom. Shakespeare wrote plays, not novels, and his works are meant to be seen. It is only on the stage that the hilarity of Twelfth Night can truly surface.

And the play is undoubtedly a comedy. Senior Scotty Candler, junior Matt Guts-chick and sophomore Laura Halsey practically steal the show as a comedic trio of drunken pranksters living in the house of the Lady Olivia, played by senior Stephanie Hill.

From the moment Candler, who plays Sir Toby Belch, stumbles onto the stage in an overstuffed kimono, all eyes are on his antics. He is followed by Guts-chick, playing Sir Andrew Aguecheek, who has absolutely no use of his hands throughout the play as they are obscured by an over-long kimono reminiscent of a dressing gown.

The two make an excellent team, engag-ing in witty banter throughout the play and eliciting laugh after laugh from the audience. Their slightly crude dialogue manages to connect with the audience easier than the flowery speeches of the central characters in the play.

TOP RIGHT: Sebastian, played by sophomore Erich Jones, plays Viola’s missing twin.

I’m sick and tired of hearing people say, “people don’t date at Wake,” or “sex kills – come to Wake and

live forever.” If I hear one more person complain about how “people here don’t date,” I am going to flip out. Ninja style. No, I’m just kidding. But seriously (did you catch the movie reference?), just because you are not dating doesn’t mean other students on campus are not. I can think of a number of people who are in exclusive, monogamous relationships that require them to take their significant other on dates. Admin note: This includes the Huffman kids that sent me the really angry letter earlier this year. The rigors of attending this fine establishment of higher education are not always conducive to dating, but that doesn’t mean you can’t date or that people don’t. However, there is a hidden upside to dating someone at the university — they understand the demanding schedule. Having a person in your life that understands the time required to maintain something that resembles a respectable GPA eliminates the stress that comes with questions like, “How come you haven’t been spending time with me?” or “Why haven’t you been calling me as often?” Anyways, I digress.

For all the “random” hookups that people like to claim, it intrigues me when I see people catching a meal with their hookup partner or even watching a movie before the magic

happens. Now, this isn’t dating in a traditional

sense, but I think one could make a case for it being some degenerated form of dating.

If you find yourself pissed off about not having someone to date, or you find yourself thinking people never do, maybe you should reevaluate your mindset.

For the ladies out there – don’t settle on the idea of just meeting up with him at the party and heading home when things end. Make him take you out. If he doesn’ t w a n t to, you don’t have to end the rela-tionship, but make it clear that you’re putting yourself out there.

For the guys, don’t be afraid to ask her out.

This doesn’t have to be an ordeal, just casu-ally tell her you want to grab a bite to eat.

The most important thing is to have fun. Going out on a date doesn’t have to be formal or expensive.

It’s a great oppor-tunity to get to see someone away from the pressures of academia.

Go out, be merry and have fun. People here do date, and people here want to – it’s just a matter of matching your interests to your partners.

Dating stereotype finally addressed

“He Said, She Said” is a weekly column that presents his and her perspectives on the college sex scene. His and Her identities have been kept confidential to protect their sexual anonymity.

At my freshman orientation, I remember some upper-class-man telling a group of freshmen

that we would soon find out, “Deacs don’t date.” I remember thinking, that’s impossible. I am sure that there are

plenty of people in college to date. Fast forward a couple years … someone asks me about dating on campus. What do I tell them? “Actually, Deacs don’t date.”

The funny thing is that I do know some people who have serious boyfriends

or girlfriends, but they are very serious. Like,

planning their wed-ding serious.

I have discov-ered an interesting

paradox. People either don’t

date at all, or are picking out rings. I hate these two

extremes. Why is there pressure to ran-

domly hook-up and not commit to one person? And if you do decide to commit to one person, why run off and pick out a ring? What ever

happened to dating in t h e traditional sense? Why can’t

a boy and a girl just go to the movies or dinner? Why do we even call it “dating” when what we really did is drunkenly hook up after parties? That

isn’t dating. Dating is if a guy wanted to see me when he was sober. It’s dating if he wanted to talk to me while I’m wear-ing clothes. I would almost consider it dating if we only watched movies in our rooms, but never actually went out in public together.

And I have found another amazing phenomenon.

For all intents and purposes a couple may be dating, but for some reason they are so scared to call it that. They spend a lot of time together, they sometimes even go out to eat, go to one another’s date function, even hook up and sleep together.

What is more crazy is that the people actually care about each other, and do all of the things that dating people do, but they are just afraid to call it that. If you ask them what is going on, they will mumble something about being good friends, or avoid it all together.

It’s easy to blame guys for all of this. Let’s face it, it is easy to blame guys for most anything. However, part of the blame is on the females, too. If you legitimately want a relationship with a guy, but then you put out without asking for any kind of commitment, that is exactly what you are going to get: no commitment.

Why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free? Somehow guys perfectly understand this concept. Why can’t we? Don’t complain about not getting what you deserve if you do not demand it in the first place. Come on girls, we deserve better.

Professional surfer-turned-musician and direc-tor, Jack Johnson, is one of my favorite artists. The Hawaii native is adept at creating songs that are simple, easy to listen to and generally lighthearted.

Whenever I listen to one of his songs, I get lost in the music and let myself float along with the melody until I get to the beach.

It could be the dead of winter and 25 degrees outside with snow on the ground, but if I hear a Jack Johnson song I somehow

find myself lounging on the beach during the summer.

It should come as no surprise that Johnson’s third album has been released in time for the warmer weather.

Released March 1, In Between Dreams debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Top 200. The album received mixed reviews early on, which is not entirely surprising.

Johnson isn’t famous for his innovation or cre-ativity. He’s famous because he found something that works.

He keeps the melodies simple and the songs short. Lyrically, he hasn’t varied from the themes in his earlier albums.

As I said before, his music and lyrics lack complexity, and he doesn’t put on a particularly noteworthy live show (unless you’re a fan), so why has his success continued to grow?

He has found a formula that makes people comfortable. His voice is more than enough for a sunset on the beach/campfire sing along, but it won’t compare to anything you hear on American Idol. Even when he mixes in a little funk or blues, his songs are very identifiably his own.

That being said, I have really enjoyed getting to know In Between Dreams over the last few weeks. I purchased the album through iTunes the day it came out and have listened to it several times a week since then.

The album opens with “Better Together,” a simple, sweet song about how things always seem to be better when you’re with that special person.

The album floats along on top of simple har-monies for the first few tracks, then steps it up a notch and leans ever-so-slightly towards pop with “Good People.”

The album then moves into the first released

Foothills mixes local alesBy Tom Clark

Senior Reviewer

If there’s one thing that students like more than pulling all-nighters at the ZSR or circling Lot Q trying to find a parking spot, it’s drinking beer.

That’s why the latest addition to downtown Win-ston-Salem, Foothills Brewing Co., seems to be the perfect way to improve the city’s college appeal.

A trendy, inviting restaurant and bar, as well as an up-and-coming microbrewery offering six local beers, Foothills is a pleasant break from the ordinary. And best of all, it’s the only restaurant in town where you can go anytime; Foothills is open from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. seven days a week.

Like most bars, the magic happens in the back room. In this case, I’m referring to the beer workshop that sits behind glass at the far end of the restaurant. There, brewmaster Jamie Bartholomaus mixes up Foothills’ very own ales and lagers.

There are currently five homemade brews on tap, with a sixth on the way, and various seasonal bever-ages in the works.

An obvious drink choice for the night is the beer sampler, which gives you five ounces of each brew for less than six bucks – certainly worth it.

First on the bar was the Salem Gold, which is a light ale made of pale malt. While it is a bit watery, this is a good light beer that would make for a great spring and summer drink. Of all the beers, the Salem Gold has the lowest alcohol content.

The Pilot Mountain Pale Ale is a more bitter, but still standard American-style pale ale with a rich golden color. Half the novelty of this beer is the local name and cool logo, with an old mountain man’s face imposed over a sketch of Pilot Mountain.

The darkest of the beers, the Total Eclipse Stout, was a surprise in that it was lighter than expected. If you’re a heavy beer drinker, you might be disap-pointed, but at least it’s less filling than most other stouts. Total Eclipse has a bit of a bite, but still has a sweet chocolate or coffee aftertaste. Save this one for dessert.

The Rainbow Trout ESB (Extra Special Bitter) was also surprisingly tasty, considering that most people have acquired a taste for smoother beer. This brew definitely has a kick to it, and is probably one of my favorites.

Foothills’ own Indian Pale Ale, the most alcoholic of their brews, is strong and hoppy. While I gener-ally like milder beers, this pale ale grew on me by the end of the night, though it did leave a strange lingering aftertaste.

Once you’ve sampled the beer menu, definitely stick around for dinner. The menu is varied, with both pub food and more hearty entrees. Prices for dinner range from $8 for sandwiches to mid-$20s for steaks or some more exotic meats.

As a starter, we tried the Buffalo wings, which are smothered in a tangy sauce.

They are a pretty spicy, but have a different flavor See Foothills, Page B7

The complicated plot-line revolvesaround Viola, played by sophomore Leah Roop-Kharasch, who is shipwrecked in an unknown land and puts herself into the service of Duke Orsino, played by sophomore Chris Hayes.

Viola, masquerading as a man (alias Cesario), is sent to woo Lady Olivia on behalf of Orsino. But she takes her job a bit too seriously as Olivia falls for Viola/Cesario, and chaos ensues.

The biggest challenge for this talented cast was undoubtedly the delivery of Shakespeare’s twisting dialogue. Several of the opening monologues seemed misdirected, as if the characters were removed from what they were saying.

However, as the play progressed and the tempo of the story increased, the actors seemed to become more comfortable with the dialogue.

The actors seemed more poised while rattling off Shakespeare’s more witty constructions and tend to falter only when forced to express themselves philosophi-cally or when engaging in particu-larly lengthy speeches.

One of the highlights of the play is senior Scott Thompson’s portrayal of Malvolio, Olivia’s steward, who is convinced by the scheming Maria, played by Laura Halsey, that Olivia loves him.

Upon her orders he changes his somber demeanor and parades about the stage in yellow gar-ters, much to the delight of the audience. Thompson plays the transition between Malvolio’s scowling arrogance and idiotic fluttering beautifully.

The set design team put together another masterpiece, a setting that is whimsical and vibrant. The mountain background, dotted with tiny bonsai trees, is remi-niscent of a Chinese landscape painting.

The bright costumes also con-tribute to the fancy of the play. As the program reads, the play is set in “another time … another place … far, far away” and the image is achieved through the visuals created by the costume and set departments.

The culminating scene of the play brings all the actors onstage in a parade of revelations that finally tie all the plotlines together. The story ends as Feste, the clown, sings a parting ditty to the audi-ence. Feste, played by sophomore Zach Tysinger, is called upon to sing several times during the play, vocalizing everything from raunchy ditties to poignant love songs.

Tysinger does a credible job in making his songs seem a natural part of the action. He also is as the universal manipulator of the play as one of the only characters who has direct contact with almost all the players.

Though not as openly comical as Sir Toby or Sir Andrew, Feste plays the tradition Shakespearean “wise fool”, whose job is to be funny but rather lives as more of a social com-mentator than a fool.

Overall, the cast does an out-standing job of presenting the play in a way that identifies with the audience.

When it comes down to it, Twelfth Night is just like your typi-cal frat party. There are mistaken identities, drunken shenanigans and cross-dressing. People start talking to themselves and no one really knows what they are saying. Swords inexplicably factor into the evening but the next morning, everything turns out all right.

Quite simply, Iron and Wine is one of the best groups to emerge out the last five years and quite possibly of all time.

Frontman singer/songwriter Sam Beam

h a s q u i c k l y b e e n building a follow-ing since the 2002 r e l e a s e of his a l b u m ,

The Creek Drank the Cradle. Beam, originally a full-time

professor of cinematography, recorded the album as a diver-sion from his teaching duties. He recorded it entirely on his own on a primitive 4-track cassette.

Somehow a copy ended up in the hands of the head of Sub Pop Records, one of the most respected independent record labels in the country, who quickly gave the neo-folk record a proper release.

The low-fi and intimate feel of the album struck a chord with fans and critics alike, as the All Music Guide called it “one of the best records of 2002.”

As Beam prepared to enter an actual studio for the recording of his sophomore album, 2004’s Our Endless Numbered Days, many feared that his vibe, an essential part of Iron and Wine’s music, might be lost.

However, Beam easily proved them wrong. The pristine but simple recording of Endless Numbered Days showcased that the heart of the music is Beam’s hushed, almost whispered deliv-ery and the quiet greatness of his songwriting.

His music has often been likened to the sound of a father calmly singing to his child, and this is a pretty accurate com-parison.

It is hard for me to listen to the record without seeing rustic visions of families sitting in the grass of their yard, as Beam sings of love, nature, death and the other simplicities of life that far too often go unnoticed.

He also knows enough to let the topics speak for themselves, leaving out the pretentious faux-poetry that tarnishes many other singer-songwriters.

Beam does not sound as if he is trying to be great and mean-ingful. He merely sounds like he understands what life is all about and he wants to try and show us too.

I had the pleasure of seeing Iron and Wine perform live last summer, and it was easily one of the best concerts that I have ever attended. Even in a noisy bar in Louisville, Ky., Beam’s quiet vocals eerily silenced the crowd as he and a small band delicately communicated tales of rural southern Americana.

Beam himself was one of the most interesting looking people I have ever seen. As he wandered through the crowd before his set, carrying a bottle of wine and a plastic bag full of bananas (no joke), I was struck by his short stature (he was probably 5’5” or so) and his thick, trademark beard.

In most pictures and paint-ings of Beam, he comes off as an older, almost sadly quiet man. In person, he did not seem this way at all. He was affable, almost jovial, and in his dress shirt, jeans and flip-flops he appeared more like an old friend or uncle than a wise, old sage.

However, Beam has the kind of sunken eyes matched with a softly piercing stare that makes you think that he has seen a lot more than his outward demeanor lets on.

Just looking at him, I felt like he knew everything I, and anyone else, had ever experienced. It was almost saintly. But then Beam’s just a regular guy, carting bananas on stage and recording songs in his bedroom. He’s the quintessential artist; a normal man who has the divine ability to interpret our lives for us.

You will have the chance to judge Iron and Wine for yourself, as they come to The Orange Peel April 14 in nearby Asheville to support their latest release, Woman King. It will surely be worth the trek.

Sir Toby Belch, played by senior Scotty Candler acts more the fool than the Fool, played by sophomore Zach Tysinger.

envy and castration anxiety govern both the Id and Sin City.

Indeed, the movie is a graphic one, with abundant gratuitous nudity and shocking violence. Rodriguez does use some level of restraint.

He shows these graphic scenes but usually uses cinematic effects to dull them down. Also, the movie has a strange set of values immured within the violence and passion, namely a message of justice and loyalty.

Dwight, in a moment of realization, thinks to himself, “It’s time to prove to your friends that you’re worth a damn. Sometimes that means dying. Sometimes it means killing a whole lot of people.”

This is a point of endorsement for the film. It shows that the sin in Sin City does have some sort of moral underpinnings, even if they are terribly twisted.

Sin City is overflowing with other tidbits of symbolism as well, featuring strange moments of anti-Nazi imagery which seems more an image of anarchy than anything. It won’t allow any of the main characters to wilt under the pressure of torture or even die unless they are

completely annihilated. The symbolism in the movie raises important questions of insanity and perception

However, the main strengths of Sin City are its ebulliently creative artistic qualities and the self-awareness. Indeed, because all the dialogue is basically detective-style comic book writing, the movie could have come off as silly and wanton.

Instead, there are moments of clarity which show that the film is conscious of its own impos-sibility, such as when a villain sits down to pick up his severed hand only to land atop a ninja throwing-star in a very Home Alone-esque moment.

This doesn’t mean, however, that there aren’t

moments where uncomfortable, mocking laughter is requisite.

The other strength of Sin City is its pure, comic book feel. The whole movie is an oth-erworldly cinematic experience.

It is filmed in black and white, with only cer-tain objects and characters receiving color.

The color choice of certain objects was also interesting. All the sexual and violent images (read: lots and lots of blood) were colored, but so were other things, like all the characters’ eyes.

There are also moments where black and white sketches, rather than film, fill the screen.

This effect is sometimes used to mask some of the film’s violence, but the best use of this is the blank white sheen on the glasses of Kevin, played by a traumatizing creepy Elijah Wood.

These effects, combined with the strange sound of the very quotable dialogue truly made the movie something to behold.

While the effect is perhaps more strange than good, there remains little doubt that this is the best in the recent rash of comic book based movies, and one of the most original large-scale productions created in some time.

than your typical wings– better, in my opinion.The Hunter’s Pie is more than just a hearty meal

of meat and potatoes. It is prepared with succu-lent buffalo, duck and rabbit served in a béchamel sauce and topped with crisped mashed potatoes covered in mozzarella cheese. The meat is tender and complements the flavorful potatoes well.

Surely one of Foothills’ best dishes, the Low Country Shrimp and Grits is the best of its kind in Winston-Salem. The grits are creamy with a rich, more sophisticated taste than one would normally expect. Sauteed shrimp and Andoullie sausage are cooked in a cream sauce to round out the entrée.

There are a variety of pub-style pizzas, includ-ing the smoked buffalo pizza. While most people think of buffalo chicken, this pie is topped with real shredded buffalo, red onions, spinach and mozzarella.

The meat is juicy and tender, and the pizza is a decent-sized portion, though the onions and spin-ach are sometimes a bit overwhelming.

From the sandwich menu, we tried the Foothills Cuban which is a broiled pork baguette with cheese and veggies and served with fries. A solid dinner, this standard Cuban snack was good but not spec-tacular compared to the other entrees.

The entrees are unique and definitely more exotic than your normal Winston-Salem fare. An eye-catching item: the Game Sampler Grill, which features venison, ostrich, quail, rabbit, marinated buffalo, wild boar or duck breast served with complementing sauces. Though a bit pricey, this dish is sure to appease any adventurous diner.

Foothills Brewing is located at 638 West Fourth Street. Though they do not take reservations, it would be wise to call ahead at 725-1083 to check how long the wait is. On a Saturday night, you could be hanging in the bar for up to two hours before getting a table. Use that time wisely though and have a few pints of the freshest beer in town.

Johnson sits in a destroyed apartment and the action pro-gresses backward to show how he and his bandmates came to raze the place. I even heard Johnson had to learn the song backwards for the video.

Again, Johnson sticks with the simple, laid-back songs he has become known for until one of my favorite tracks, “Break-down.” Originally recorded for Handsome Boy Modeling School’s

White People (also a great album), it is now stripped down and offered as a simple, longing melody.

The album winds down sound-ing much like it started - soft and simple.

I have recommended this album to everyone I know that considers themselves a Johnson fan. Seeing as his previous two albums went platinum, I suspect it is only a matter of time before Johnson has a third record to put on the wall. Look for his summer tour starting Aug. 1.

Baseball: Deacs dazzle Devils, defeated by Davidsongame with a 2-1 lead that increased to 5-1 when Sterk roped a shot over the centerfield wall with two men on in the bottom of the seventh. Unfortunately four runs were allowed in the top of the eighth.

Later in the inning with the game tied 5-5, Antonelli led off with a walk and Tucker followed with the game winning double to the left, scoring Antonelli. Young was once again called on to close the game and pitched a perfect ninth earning, becoming the first pitcher to have consecutive saves in three years. Freshman Eric Niesen picked up the win to even his record at 1-1.

While making only his second start of the season in the rubber game of the series, senior reliever Brian Bach’s

experience showed throughout the day as he worked his way out of numerous jams and was unfazed falling behind 2-0 in the fourth. The offense was jump-started by Enick’s solo blast to right field in the bottom of the seventh.

In the bottom of the eighth, freshman right fielder Brett Linnenkohl led off the inning with a single to left and was fol-lowed by Antonelli, who singled to right. Duke’s Danny Otero tossed a wild pitch that allowed Linnenkohl to score from third. Tucker, for the second consecu-tive day, came through with the game winning RBI double to left-center. In the top of the ninth, Bach worked around the two runners on base to hold on for a 3-2 complete game win.

Bach threw 118 pitches on the day, 78 of which were strikes, in the process of striking out seven and allowing only one

Continued from Page B1 earned run. “We needed to win the series and get

the sweep and we pulled out three tough wins,” Ellis said.

On April 6, the Deacons traveled down to Charlotte to take on Davidson. Tucker led off the game with a home run and fol-lowed it with a two run blast in the top of the fourth giving the Deacons a 5-2 lead. With a 10-6 lead in the bottom of the eighth, senior Kip Byrum surrendered a quick run and was removed with two men on. Young was called on to preserve the win, but Davidson’s Jay Heafner managed to connect with Young’s pitch, launching a shot over the wall for the game winning home run.

The Deacons, who improved to 14-16, 7-8 ACC, will next travel to Tallahassee, Fla. to take on Florida State. The game is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. April 8.

The Deacs defeated Duke in three consecutive games before falling 11-10 in a close match to Davidson April 6.
