The Clothesline Project lines the walkway to the Belk Tower prior to the “Take Back the Night” event which takes place tonight at 6:30 p.m. at the Belk Tower.

Night is darkest before the dawn

Kristen Litchfield
Editor-in-Chief
The primary purpose of “Take Back the Night”
is to unify women, men, and children in raising
awareness of violence in families. UNC Charlotte’s
“Take Back the Night” is made possible not only by
the campus, but also the surrounding community
and others interested in taking a stand against
violence.
The first “Take Back the Night,” formerly
known as “Reclaim the Night,” was held in
Belgium in March 1976. It was held by the women
who were attending the International Tribunal on
Crimes against Women. These women marched
holding candles and protested the violence against
women around the globe.
On Nov. 4, 1978, Women Against Violence in
Pornography and Media held the first “Take Back
the Night” march on U.S. soil. It was held in San
Francisco.
Most “Take Back the Night” events include
candlelight vigils, speak-outs, marches and
rallies. According to the “Take Back the Night”
organization some events only involve women, but
as more men voice their own stories of sexual abuse,
most events are coed efforts to raise awareness and
promote healing.
Along with “Take Back the Night,” each year
the University’s Women’s Program participates in
the Clothesline Project. The Clothesline Project
displays T-shirts, from the library to the Belk
Tower, with each color representing a form of
violence that women have been faced with. Each
T-shirt was designed either by female survivors or
by someone who loves a woman who was killed by
violence. These T-shirts display graphic messages
and illustrations in order to raise awareness of the
violence against women. Some of the shirts also
celebrate women’s strength to survive, and allow
some women to break their silence about their
experiences with violence.
Each T-shirts represents a different individual
with a different story. White are dedicated to
women who died due to domestic violence; yellow
or beige are dedicated to assaulted women; red,
pink and orange are survivors of rape and sexual
assualt; blue and green are for survivors of incest
and sexual abuse; purple and lavendar are for
women attacked because of their sexual orientation
and black are for women attacked for political
reasons.
Currently in the Student Union Art Gallery
(first floor) there is a Domestic Violence Art
Exhibit. This exhibit’s focus is centered on the
impact domestic and sexual violence has not only
on individual lives, but also on communities and
the society as a whole. The pieces on display in the
exhibit are works of students, faculty, staff, and
those affiliated with the University community, as
they aim to portray an inside look at those affected
by domestic violence. The exhibit is open through
Oct. 30.
UNC Charlotte will hold its annual “Take
Back the Night” tonight at 6:30 p.m. at the Belk
Tower, come out and take a stand against domestic
violence.

Sherry Wolf addresses community on

society, sexuality and socialism
Brian M. McCormick
Asst. A&E
Monday, Sept. 28 held host to Sherry Wolf, author, lecturer and
activist for the advancement of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
rights, better known as LGBT. Her lecture Monday, entitled “Sexuality
and Socialism: The Struggle for LGBT Liberation,” focused on her
latest publication from Haymarket Books entitled “Sexuality and
Socialism: History, Politics, and Theory of LGBT Liberation.”
Lecturing for just under an hour to a crowd of around twenty-
five, Ms. Wolf presented a very riveting lecture and discussion session
placing emphasis on her views of modern-day socialism through the
eyes of an LGBT activist. Sponsored by UNC Charlotte’s International
Socialist Organization, which led by student Greg Love, Ms. Wolf
focused heavily on her three main reasons for writing her book: the
construction of homosexuality within our modern culture, biological
determinism in the attempts to find a “gay gene,” and the question of
sexual liberation under the constraints of a “normal society.”
Over the past several weeks, Sherry Wolf has traveled to a myriad
of college campuses not only to promote her latest work, but also
to rally continual opposition to Proposition 8, a Californian ballot
proposition passed in November 2008 banning same-sex marriage
within the state of California. Using her latest work as a rallying
point, Ms. Wolf spoke very highly of the advances made by the LGBT
community within the past three months as they have organized a
National Equality March on Washington scheduled for Oct. 10 and
11.
In speaking with Sherry Wolf following her lecture, Ms. Wolf
wanted to express that, “This is the Civil Rights Movement of your
generation,” and encouraged young people to “get the facts, read the
book and go to the march.” Though the crowd was rather small for
Monday’s 8 p.m. meeting, there was not a lack of enthusiasm from
the crowd; some coming from as far away as Greensboro to hear her
presentation.
If you think you might be interested in getting involved with
the National Equality March on Washington set for Oct. 10 and 11,
Ms. Wolf stressed that students should visit the group’s website at:
http://www.nationalequalitymarch.org. In case you missed Monday’s
lecture, not to worry, the International Socialist Organization here
at UNC Charlotte will be hosting several information sessions
leading up to the National Equality March and beyond. For more
information on what this organization might have in store for you,
visit this website at http://www.socialistworker.org or to place an
order for Sherry Wolf’s “Sexuality and Socialism: History, Politics,

Vigil held to protest anti-gay letters left

Nearly 400 people gathered on the lawn of
a Guilford College residence hall Wednesday
night, holding white candles and proclaiming
hatred had no place on campus.
“The whole purpose of this vigil was to show
that among Guilford’s seven core values, hatred
is not one of them,” said Brian Daniel, a junior
elementary education major.
Daniel, president of the school’s gay and les-
bian organization, Guilford PRIDE, hosted the
vigil with the student-run Guilford Peace Soci-
ety just a week after a student found anti-gay let-
ters on his door in Bryan Hall.
College President Kent Chabotar said the

school has since held open discussions about the
incident and used it as a learning opportunity.
He said the incident violates the campus con-
duct code, and the school is trying to find the
author of the two letters.
“Until we find them and until they are proven
guilty, we have due process here,” he said.
“If we didn’t, we’d be doing the same stuff as
the person who did this was trying to do -- tak-
ing away people’s rights.”
The several hundred people circled outside
Bryan Hall included faculty, UNCG students
and community members.
They first lined the corner of Friendly Av-

signs. Then, they marched down Eli Coffin
Drive, passed Founders Hall and moved onto
the lawn.
Mary Washburn, a sophomore studying com-
parative religion and Spanish, said it’s important
for people from different backgrounds to sup-
port the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
community.
“I think we need to make a response to a
hate crime,” Washburn said. “It’s not just for a
person, the one person that was threatened, it’s
for the entire homosexual community here and
everyone who knows about the event.”
Daniel said Guilford PRIDE’s mission is to
bring about more awareness. The organization

American activist speaks

Staff Writer
Dr. Haleh Esfandiari was the reason room
380 in College of Health and Human Services
was crowded last Thursday. Students and faculty
came to hear about the personal experience of her
incarceration in Tehran, Iran’s Evin prison. Dr.
Haleh Esfandiari is an Iranian-American who was
jailed in Iran. He was called by Iranian intelligence,
“a kingpin in trying to get rid of the current Iranian
regime.”
She opened the discussion with details of her
new book, “My Prison, My home.” Dr. Esfandiari
described her book as an account of her “lengthy
interrogation, incarceration, intimidation, sense of
fear, and sense of being lost in Iran.”
Dr. Esfandiari continued, mentioning details of
her stay while being incarcerated in Iran. “The tone
of interrogation in prison is more threatening,” she
said. While being interrogated she was told to face
the wall when responding to questions. “For 105
days, I talked to the wall,” she said.
She also described the cell she was held in as
“broken sink, two high windows, blanket in the
corner, two fluorescent lights that were on 24 hours
a day, and a copy of the Quran. The only way I
knew what time it was, is when the sun didn’t shine
through the windows, or the guards going to and
from home.”
She talks about how she never tried to show
weakness, and attempted not to cry in front of
interrogators. “If I cried, it was very early in the

gress because the anti-gay remarks given to the
student were not deemed a hate crime by state
law.
In North Carolina, the hate crime statute al-
lows judges to increase the penalties for verbal
racial attacks during the commission of a crime,
assault, murder and vandalism, if it is determined
the crime was motivated by racial, religious, or
sexual orientation bias.
Daniel was pleased with the overall turnout
from the greater Greensboro community. He
said it is a positive response for “a horrific inci-
dent” experience by one student, who remains
anonymous.
“Whoever he is, I hope that he knows that he
is loved, that he is respected on our campus.”

morning, or in the shower.”
After a few months in prison, she was asked to
be interviewed on videotape. She agreed so she
could prove to her family, her work, and the world
that she had nothing to hide.
Dr. Esfandiari still questions why she was
accused of trying to oust the current regime. She
believes it may be due to the fact that she is the
director of the Woodrow Wilson Center’s Middle
East Program. She also credits Iran’s current issues
with insecurity, as well as a negative worldview.
Dr. Esfandiari concluded by allowing guests
to ask questions. Most of the questions focused
on Iran’s current leader, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Questions ranged from details about current
election protests, to women’s and human rights in
Iran.
The small timeframe only allowed for a few
questions, with the assistance of a bawdy guest.
The guest shouted out at one point in opposition
of one of Dr. Esfandiari’s responses in reference to
her support that the current Iranian election was
fraudulent. “How can you be sure?” shouted the
guest.
In hindsight, it is good to know that Dr.
Esfandiari is alive and doing well. She concluded
in response to a question that she thinks she may
never return to Iran. Regrettably so, Dr. Esfandiari
believes that there is still hope for the future of
Iran. She misses her country deeply, and hopes that
movements in Iran will continue for the rights of
women, and the rights of all.

Tattoos for the mere mortals are permanent;
they last forever. How long is forever? For men,
if you were born in 1988, you are expected to live
until you’re 73.8 years old, with women living
longer at 79.5 years of age, according to the U.S.
Census Bureau.
Okay, so what? What’s the big deal?
Well, I would assume your interests will be
different at 20, then 40, then 60, and probably
if you make it to 80. Don’t make a decision now
(under the influence of your friends), when
you’re the only one who has to live with your
consequences. Life is all about choices, and the
result of those choices: good or bad.
Tattoos in the earliest days of Egypt (2,000
B.C.) were believed to be the mark of prostitutes.
These tattoos were always on their thighs. They
were believed to protect them from sexually
transmitted diseases, according to the Smithsonian.
Okay… That was over 4,000 years ago. How does
that apply to me, today?
We get one shot at this game of life: one
impression, one opportunity, and one result, from
every specific situation that you encounter. You
are competing against the world, while competing
against yourself at the same time.

the Student Union and the time it took for my food
to be prepared was unbearable. I have a routine of

The Iran missile crisis
Robbie Robinson
Staff Writer
I believe that many people do not appreciate the
threat of a nuclear Iran and its capability to launch
its radioactive warheads at Europe, at American
military bases in the Middle East, Israel, and even
their Arab neighbors. Most people are not worried
because an Iranian Missile cannot strike the North
American Continent, so therefore Iran cannot
threaten them. Well think again. an Iranian Missile
destroying Tel Aviv or one of our aircraft carriers
will affect everybody because of the loss of life and
prices rising to ten dollars for a gallon of gas. A
nuclear Iran with any kind of missile destabilizes
the Middle East and threatens our military men
and women, as well as our allies throughout the
region and in Europe.
By now you are probably thinking that Iran
would never use these weapons. The President of the
Islamic Republic of Iran, Mahmud Ahmadinejad,
is a firm believer in the extermination of an entire
race as well as denying that the Holocaust even
happened. The Iranian government is the biggest
supporter of terrorism and the terrorist groups who
perpetrate murder and torture on men, women,
and yes, even children.
Groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and Islamic
Jihad all receive their majority of funding from
Iran. Imagine Hezbollah using nuclear weapons
on an Israeli City or an American Embassy. All
of these groups receive their weapons, explosives,
and training from an Iranian paramilitary
organization called the Revolutionary Guards.

Hill, like me, will take Prospector over the
Student Union dining because it’s closer to her
classes. “It’s faster and it’s what I’m used to,” she
said.
Faster indeed! When I need to grab something
quick to eat for class, I go to Prospector. The
only place in the Student Union where I can grab
something quick is Outtakes, and that’s if the line in
there isn’t to the back of the store. At every register
in Prospector, I can grab a soda, chips, candy or
health bar – not so in our beloved Student Union.
And another thing that’s missing in the Student
Union, as I look around, are televisions. Maybe
that’s something the union has in the works, but
until then, I can tune in to local news and ESPN
at – you guessed it – Prospector.
As I close, the next best thing about Prospector
is its lovely neighbor Chick-Fil-A. If I choose not
to get a burger, pasta or taco, I can walk down to
Chick-Fil-A to have my fill on a chicken sandwich.
See, I can easily make it to Prospector in
one piece as opposed to dodging frantic drivers
crossing over to get to the Student Union. The
choice is simple, 49ers: I can keep my life and enjoy
a nice and fast meal at the low-key Prospector, or
play chicken with lunatic drivers and barely make
it to the Student Union to feast on… nothing.
The same Revolutionary Guards who aided the
Iraqi Insurgents with explosives to kill American
Soldiers.
This is the same government who attacked
their own citizens in the street because they were
marching and demonstrating against the outcome
of the Iranian presidential election this past
summer. The majority of Iranian citizens want to
be rid of their leaders and their theocratic type
of government because it oppresses freedom and
isolates the country from the rest of the world.
The Iranian government spends most of the
country’s wealth on nuclear and missile technology
as well as supporting terrorist groups. They ignore
the needs of the everyday citizens because they
would rather have the power to destroy or blackmail
any country who does not believe as they do.
Do not put your hope in sanctions or the
United Nations because it did not work against
Saddam Hussein and it will not work on Mahmud
Ahmadinejad. As a nation and a people we only
have two options. Do we accept a nuclear Iran and
the likelihood of a nuclear arms race in the Middle
East, the same Middle East where we import the
majority of our oil? Or do we support a country and
its people who have the means and determination
to stop it, and all they need is our support.
Thankfully this decision is way, way above
my pay grade, but as an American, husband, and
a father I am very concerned. What I do know is
this crisis worries me, so I hope and pray for an
outcome which is best for everyone, especially the
Iranian people and our Israeli allies.

Letters to the editor
In Response to “College Republicans, Democrats
debate on healthcare reform”
I am pleased with relish that young people have joined the foray of healthcare reform debate.
More so that students have decided to tackle the issues is a welcome alternative to ‘mob action’ and
uncivil charade reminiscent of totalitarian regimes imposed on citizens by sections of the media. It
is important to have intelligent and warm approach to sensitive issues with strategic implication for
national growth.
My purpose of writing is to highlight some of the missing facts and correct erroneous information
attributed to some of the contributors of the debate. You will imagine that debates conducted within
an ivory tower by students will be credible and robust as well as capture the essence of their interest.
According to the report, there was no mention of young people or students’ interest in the different
versions of the bill. It seems like a rehash of the current points made by the opposing parties. I
expected case to be made for reduction in premium paid by young people especially with unexpected
economic downturn. Population of young people across the country is high enough contrary to their
political weight which is puerile and potential dangerous. All young people are not students, some
are parents, others are workers employed in diverse economic and community building capacities.
Anecdotal evidence indicates that proportion of graduates and unemployed youth have no access to
the healthcare. If young debaters cannot speak for themselves and repeat mantra of politicians whose
goal is getting reelected, then time and resources committed to such debate is wanting.
There is extension of latching on misinformation about healthcare access in foreign countries.
While it is legitimate to make references in debates, they must be truthful and credible. United States
citizens don’t need to travel as far as Europe to find solutions to their healthcare but suggesting the
systems in France and United Kingdom are not working for their citizens is disingenuous. Buffering
under the glow of ignorance to call those successful systems ‘socialist’ leaves more to be desired.
Most of the individuals making such conclusions may not have travelled to or lived in these places
and when they have done so they are part of holidays. Regardless of flaws of any system, citizens of
these countries cannot panic in the face of illness/emergency. United States citizens resident in these
countries benefit immensely even as I write. For all the statistics bandied around by contributors who
have no inkling of numbers, the British and French (European) systems are working, chronic illness are
nipped in the bud and populations are healthy. Europeans cannot be all stupid to individually adopt
the model where public intervention is integrated. It is important for disseminators of information and
knowledge creators to get their facts right before releasing ‘viruses’. Such attitude doesn’t speak well
for revered global anchor of knowledge like UNCC.
On a concluding note, it is clear that current US healthcare system is complex and unsustainable.
Sometimes you are confronted with typical 3rd world situations. I expect conclusive success without
misplaced attention to cost. Citizens and not politicians must be creative enough to generate sustainable
alternative as well as make the sacrifice of ensuring its delivery. Leaving it all to politicians who seek
re-election and insurance firms who caress profit will create an outcome that may jeopardize domestic
stability and foreign initiatives for United States.

“FlashForward” is a new
show on ABC that premiered
recently and has a “Lost”-like
appeal to it. So far it is really
weird and has a strange twist that
is very interesting. It is written
and based off a book of the same
name by Robert J. Sawyer.
It strangely starts that
everyone faints and lose
consciousness for 137 minutes
or two minutes and seventeen
seconds which so far has no
relevance, but is a really random
number for people to lose
consciousness and faint.
When everyone faints, people
start to see visions of everyone
else’s lives six months in the
future, with some visions good
and some bad.
This event leads to some
deaths and left survivors to
question what is going on and
if the visions will come true. A
team of Los Angeles FBI agents
try to collect and analyze all the
people visions and try to make
a collection of them called the
Mosaic Collection.
The team led by agents named
Stanford Wedeck (Courtney B.
Vance) and another agent Mark
Benford (Joseph Fiennes) is left
to determine what is going on
and to solve the mystery of what
gets dependent on any form of
technology and the horror that
can ensue.
Set in a world of total
isolation where humans have
resorted to interaction through
surrogate robots. This is
essentially the plot of the film. It
takes place in the not-too-distant
year of 2017 where humans have
been given the option of either
living “through” a robot, or for
themselves.
With the robot they can feel
no pain, look however they want
by fixing the little imperfections
that make all of us who we are,
and as no damage is done to the
owner you can basically stretch
the limits of reality to their
greatest possibilities.
This all changes

happened.
“FlashForward” seems like
one of the “cult” shows that are
popular for time but fade out and
lose their overall general appeal
like “Lost” and “Kyle XY” with
the solving of mysteries mixed
in. Some people enjoy this as it
does keep them coming back for
more, but it does make shows
lose viewers if questions are
never answered.
Many of these questions are
left unsolved since it just started
and you start to feel like it’s a
show laced with mind-altering
drugs complete with random
visions that don’t seem to
make any sense or be reliant to
anything.
The show had random
visions of a kangaroo hopping
down the street of Los Angeles
and a bird hitting a window in
London, which might mean that
the visions are linked to animals
and humans alike but we aren’t
sure so far. The show seems like
a regular generic alternate reality
show with twists and turns that
will take them to strange and
exotic places to figure out what
is going on to solve the mystery.
I don’t really understand why
FBI agents from Los Angeles
would have to solve this mystery
instead of other countries

(Willis) is forced to investigate.
Greer then gets involved in
a tangled web involving the
creator of the surrogates (James
Cromwell) and the development
of a weapon that is capable of
killing its operator through
the robot via what can be best
described as an “electric magnetic
pulse” (EMP) that completely
kills off both parties. Greer and
his partner now have to find out
who is trying to use this weapon
and for what purpose.
When the weapon hits Greer’s
robot, he luckily disconnects, as
he is aware of the weapon and its
power. We then get to see Agent
Greer try to readjust to living
with simple consequences, pain,
and feeling everything instead of
living through the robots he had
gotten so used to.
I think these scenes are the
best parts of the film because
they remind me of the little
things that we take for granted:
like walking down a sidewalk
can be so much for another
person. When a car drives by
him and honks its horn, he
goes into a state of shock

from various fields of study to
examine this phenomenon.
The show seems to run on
randomly and doesn’t seem that
well formatted. I am hoping
to see this show produce more
exciting twists, but I doubt it
will really excite me at all.
“FlashForward” has an
interesting premise and starts
out strong but seems like it’s
going to start going in the wrong
direction with drama about
him like that in so long.
The same cannot be said
for his wife Maggie (Rosamund
Pike), when Greer tries to get
her to disconnect with him.
She prefers to act through her
surrogate even in the privacy of
her own home making Greer
talk to a robot instead of his own
wife. Maggie best illustrates this
“addiction” to technology and
using it as a veil to escape from
her sadness.
Despite some negative buzz
and a few harsh reviews after
this film’s release this past week,
I stand by the fact I enjoyed
this film very much. That could
be that I always enjoy a good
“technology run-amok” film,
but this one really shows what
can happen if humans get too
addicted to the technology we
love. We will literally become
the robots on the screen.
The film runs for 88 minutes,
and is rated PG-13 for some
scenes of science fiction violence,
but I don’t think it’s anything
too bad. If you have not gotten
a chance to see this film, I highly
recommend you do because it
deals with an issue all human
beings can relate to.

Literally withdrawing from Facebook might
give some withdrawal symptoms. Speaking from
personal experience of going for twelve days
straight without Facebook I didn’t itch or scratch
like an addict, but I did break down by going on
Facebook before my voluntary time off was up.
Let’s start at the beginning, when I said “Yes”
to the Viewpoints Editor’s idea of living a full two
weeks without Facebook. Once I took on this
mission I decided to let my friends on Facebook
know I was going off. Five minutes after posting
my upcoming two week abstinence status of going
off Facebook, I received a pop-up chat from a
friend. My friend started off with stating what
a terrible idea that would be, which fueled my
doubts. My will power to actually deactivate my
account the next morning was withering.
At 9:05 a.m. Tuesday September 15, I looked at
my profile one last time, and then hit the deactivate
option.

Facebook accounts.

Black Student Union ‘Beer in Hell’ author

celebrates 40 years is controversial
Ciera Choate
Staff Writer
For 40 years the Black Student Union has helped
many of its members not only in their lives here at
UNC Charlotte but in making a better future for
themselves.
The BSU was approved by SGA on Nov. 26,
1969. It was started by 21 black students that
believed in “creating an authentic understanding
of the significance of Black people and promoting
a spirit of love and unity among Blacks that would
enhance the development of the community.” But
this achievement was not easy to obtain.
They first presented their proposal for the BSU
on Feb. 24, 1969, to the Judiciary Committee of the
Student Legislature. Their proposal was denied by
the committee because the student body president
said that the constitution had not been introduced
properly.
The students then proceeded to present Miss
Bonnie Cone, vice chancellor of student affairs,
with 10 demands for establishing the BSU. She
replied by telling the students that she had no
power over the situation, but she then forwarded
the demands to Dr. Hugh McEniry, vice chancellor
of academic affairs.
Dr. McEniry refused to act because his
confrontation with the students had been leaked to
the local media, although the reporter said that no
one black had informed him of the meeting. This
then led to a protest rally.
After the rally the Black Studies Committee was
formed, consisting of 15 white faculty members
from many different departments. From this
committee the BSU was formed on Nov. 26, 1969.
The BSU is one of the oldest organizations here
at UNC Charlotte, and has been a home away from
home for many of its members. It helps its members
with time management skills and preparing for the
future, said Amber Timberlake, the 40th anniversary
chair of the BSU.
They are now celebrating their 40th anniversary
and have many events planned for the celebration.
They will have a 40th Anniversary Gala on Oct.
16, and from Nov. 15 to Nov. 22 the BSU will
be celebrating founder’s week. There will be a
different event planned for every day, ending with
the Mr. and Miss BSU pageant.
The BSU has been helping minority students
for 40 years. Without this organization we would
not be the university that we are today. This is not
only an accomplishment for the BSU but for our
university as a whole.

CHICAGO- Tucker Max hates living in
Los Angeles and is considering moving back to
Chicago _ the city he believes has the best bar
scene _ but the “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell”
blogger/author/filmmaker is tied to Hollywood
at the moment.
The movie, based on Max’s best-selling book
of the same title, came out Friday. This means
there is still a press tour to finish and appearances
to make. And because the University of Chicago
graduate produced the bachelor party movie and
co-wrote it with friend Nils Parker, there are still
business decisions to be made.
“Once I’m done with the movie, I’ll move
to Chicago, Austin or San Francisco,” said Max
while sitting in his tour bus outside Naperville’s
ShowPlace 16 theater Saturday.
Max opens up his sex life for all to see (and
laugh about) on tuckermax.com and in the book
and movie. But the 33-year-old author, a self-
proclaimed jerk, hasn’t become a Hollywood
stereotype just yet. He wore a plain black
fleece and gray T-shirt to a recent appearance
at Chicago’s Faith & Whiskey bar. Max said he
can’t stand clubs or the Affliction-shirt-wearing
guys who inhabit them.
“These are the guys I would rather not have
as fans,” said Max, a Duke Law School graduate.
“They’re the ones who think my writing is only
about drinking and macking on chicks. They’re
the ones that think sexual assault is funny.”
Pot calling the kettle black? It depends on
whom you ask. Women’s rights groups have
accused Max of promoting misogyny in his
writing. Protesters frequently interrupted Max
during a speaking engagement at Ohio State
University in May.
What crossed Max’s mind when he first
encountered the protest?
“I’m a star now,” Max responded. “Nobody
comes out and protests people who are
anonymous and unimportant.”
As for accusations that he doesn’t respect
women, Max claimed half of his fans are
women.
He even said he would like to settle down
eventually.
“It would suck to be single my whole life,” he
said. “If you sit on a pile of gold but have nobody
that loves you, you’re Scrooge McDuck.”

Charlotte defeats
No. 3 Wake Forest
Erin Reeve
Staff Writer
Tuesday night No. 22 Charlotte shocked fans
in an enduring fight against No. 3 Wake Forest.
Sophomore Evan James received an assist from
junior Andres Cuero in the 11th minute to score
and give the Niners a 1-0 lead.
James played a key part in this next goal as
well, which came in the first fifteen minutes of the
second half. A ball crossed by James hit Jennings
Rex at an obtuse angle, square in the head for a
perfect goal to the back of the net. The goal gave
Charlotte a 2-0 lead over the Demon Deacons.
The rising Charlotte score gave the Deacons
all the reason to fire away, which they profoundly
did to score their first and only goal of the game
nineteen seconds from Rex’s third career goal.
The quick goal turnaround was of a domino
effect and to defend the pride that Wake somewhat
