Public buildings in the city of
Liuzhou, China, have been the
target of a series of explosions resulting in at least seven killed and
roughly 50 individuals injured,
according to The Guardian.
According to Chinese police
forces investigating the incident,
the explosions are being treated as
criminal acts rather than those of
a terroristic nature. Chinas Ministry of Public Security has identified one suspect, a 33-year-old
man. The only personal detail of
the suspect that has been released
is his family name of Wei. A report indicating that the individual
in question was in custody was
given, but details were scarce.
Among the buildings hit by the
explosions were a hospital, local
market, shopping mall, bus station and various buildings used by
the government. A hotel employee
reported that the explosions made
sounds similar to the blasting of
rock in a mountain.
The Police Chief of Liuzhou,
Zhou Chanqing, advised the media that the explosions originated
from packages delivered to the
blast locations via mail. According to Chinese news websites,
streets were flooded with dust and
rubble following the explosions.
According to the New York
Times, the Chinese public has
been the victim of bombings previously to the incidents that took
place recently. In 2001, a man in
China was convicted for murder
after he killed 47 via the detonation of an explosive device. The
violence came after he engaged
in a disagreement with neighbors. Another man set off a series
of explosions in 2011 after allegedly determining for himself that
the compensation awarded by
the government for his destroyed
home was insufficient.

Last Sunday, student leaders
gathered along with select members of Techs administration in
the Student Center to discuss
the state of mental health at the
institute.
The event, officially termed
the Mental Health Summit,
began with introductions by Samantha Holloway, the director
of the Mental Health Coalition
and president of the Student Center Programs Council (SCPC),
as well as Dillon Roseen, former
President of undergraduate Student Government Association
(SGA). Lynn Durham, Chief
of Staff to Tech President G.P.
Bud Peterson, was the speaker
for the first plenary session.
One exciting thing right now
is the Academic Environment
Task Force which Provost Bras
has brought about, Durham said.
We really found through the
Mental Health Task Force that
the academic pressures [students]
go through, we didnt really understand. And whether its because
of relationships with professors
who arent particularly helpful or
whether its just the sheer amount
of work, or whatever it is, I think
we as administrators really didnt
have a good handle on that.
According to Durham, the Academic Environment Task Force
is examining this discrepancy
between what students should be
able to expect from professors and
what they often receive presently.
Durham also commended the
changes to the Counseling Center, which included the addition
of a new staff member as well as
the increased awareness of mental
health issues on campus, which,
according to Durham, is demonstrated by the fact that discussions
about mental health are now taking place whereas they were not a
few years ago.
Following the first plenary session of the Summit, facilitators,
staff and students split up to take
part in two of four breakout
meetings. Topics for the breakouts were Academics, Campus
Life Infrastructure, Counseling
and Psychiatric Services and Student Involvement and Resources.
Marc Cannellas, President of
Graduate SGA, brought up during the Academics breakout that
Breakout sessions involving students as well as key members of faculty and staff aggregated ideas regarding methods to
improve mental health at Tech in a certain area. This session was concerned with Counseling and Psychiatric Services.
Student leaders present ideas formulated during the second of two action group sessions.
Ideas ranged from expanding GT1000 to creating a Student Advisory Board for professor hires.

The second iteration of HackGT took place in the Klaus computing complex last weekend to
a slightly damp but enthused
crowd. Despite only having been
started in 2014, the hackathon
hosted a total of about 1,000 participants roughly half of the
applicant pool from Tech and the
surrounding area. Hackers attempted to code a project to be
presented and were judged at the
end of the event.
Registration began at 4:30 p.m.
on Friday in McCamish Pavilion.
Hackers would then sit down to
view a series of presentations from
sponsors and event organizers that
served as an opening ceremony of
sorts. These included descriptions
of prizes for winners of the hackathon, the top tier of which was
awarded round trip tickets for the
entire winning team to any destination in the world.
Following the presentations,
which wrapped up around 7:00
p.m., hackers trekked towards
Klaus. Hackers engaged in the
usual dash to snatch up prime
hacking real estate; fortunately,
chaos levels were low due to the
Coders converse during the Hackathon in Klaus Atrium during HackGT. Teams of participants were given 36 hours to collaborate with friends and sprint to finish new projects.

TomorrowWorld returned to
Chattahoochee Hills, Ga. for the
third annual electronic dance music (EDM) filled weekend. Beginning in 2013, the colorful festival
is the American extension of Tomorrowland, one of the largest
EDM festivals in the world, hailing from Belgium.
TomorrowWorld is the largest
and perhaps most important festival for those who enjoy EDM in
the slightest. One does not have to
appreciate EDM in order to have
a good time at TomorrowWorld.
The main attraction of the music festival was that it was a grandiose adult carnival, and this affair
was definitely evident throughout
as patrons escaped the reality of
life for the weekend. Festival goers viewed TomorrowWorld as an
opportunity to relive their childhoods by playing dress up.
The food available was surprisingly good for a festival. Keeping
with the carnival theme, food was
served in tents. A wide range of
cuisine, including a few vegetarian options were served by local
and non-local restaurants.
However, at the end of the day,
the main attraction is still the music. The biggest headliners of the
festivals performed at the main
TomorrowWorld stage to a very
enthusiastic and large crowd.
Such headliners included Steve
Aoki, Adventure Club, and Afrojack. Other big names were
Bingo Players, Dimitri Vegas &
Like Mike and the closing act,
Hardwell. Considering the price
The decor at TomorrowWorld was as extravagant as its name implies. The eager EDM fans in attendance were not disappointed by the performers, but transportation could use improvement.
pickup spots were unceremoniously cancelled with limited information. This meant that patrons
were forced to walk about four
miles in the woods of Georgia just
to have the pleasure of waiting for
their rides in the parking lot.
In addition to this less than
appreciated setback, Uber drivers
started taking bribes from patrons
before leaving instead of charging
the flat rate of $60. Most people
were not able to get back to their
homes or any other destination
until 7 a.m. the following morning.
Early Sunday, as the last of
the stragglers were finally pulling themselves out of the muddy
transportation debacle, festival
organizers announced that, due to
mother nature, only those in the
DreamVille camping area would
be able to attend that days festivities to much outrage online.
With this in mind, TomorrowWorld would have benefitted in
guest satisfaction by providing the
appropriate accommodations for
patrons; however, through oversight or other reasons, this did not
come to pass.
The costs of TomorrowWorld
as well as the general debacle that
was transportation may make potential festival attendees hesitant
to participate in TomorrowWorld;
however, in spite of all the trouble,
TomorrowWorld still remains the
festival to attend for EDM. The
company has already issued their
apologies and started looking into
refunds, and this is quite a strong
indication that this years transportation incident was simply a
misstep in the long run.

Parallel Lives is an amalgam

It is rather obvious that feminist sensibility brings Eve Enslers ever-popular The Vagina

VIDYA IYER
OPINIONS EDITOR
Joining the ranks of restaurant catering to the bubble tea fad like Honey
tea. However, despite expecting a bitter flavor that is associated with floral
essences, the rose honey green tea was
surprisingly sweet and heavenly.
In addition to the wide range of tea
selections, Bubble Caf also offers many
coffee options. The single shot espresso
had a nice, deep red crma and a brightly acidic taste.
With so many selling points, Bubble
Caf is selling itself short by closing at
11 p.m. If it stayed open later, it is sure
to be a hit amongst college students.
Bubble Caf sells a few pastries;
however, the options are measly in comparison to the list of drinks they offer.
This is arguably a positive aspect to the
restaurant because it is specializing on
producing quality drinks as opposed to
offering a range of mediocre options.
Ultimately, this restaurant is incredibly underrated, and should market itself better on Techs campus.

Last weekend marked the 14th
annual Taste of Atlanta festival.
From West Peachtree to Techwood, Tech Square was filled with
delightful aromas and delicious
food. The event featured over 90
restaurants from across Atlanta,
and the VIP experience offered
tastings of many different alcoholic drinks. Patrons spent Taste
Coupons to purchase small portions of a restaurants selected
dishes and to get a feel for what
food Atlanta has to offer.
Unfortunately, the weather was
not kind on Saturday. Throughout
the day, there was a fine mist and
light to heavy drizzle the kind
that fell sideways and ignored umbrellas. There were 40,000 people
expected in attendance, and noticeably fewer showed up on Saturday, preferring Sundays more
optimal forecast.
Despite the precipitation,
festival-goers seemed to be in
good moods overall, uplifted by
the rising scents of cooked meat.
New this year was an entirely paperless system: wristbands with
RFID chips inside were mailed to
the pre-orderers or bought at the
gates. These functioned as tickets
to enter the event and Taste Coupons to purchase food from the
booths, though some ended up
not working at the gate.
With WiFi hosted in the nowdefunct Wal-Mart, two taps of the
wristband on the scanners was all
it took to get some food from anywhere in the event. All wristbands
started with 10 points, and refilling cost one dollar per point.
Taste of Atlanta was kicked off
late Friday afternoon with a party
featuring live music and many
chefs and restaurants serving
food. Part of the proceeds for this
day went to The Giving Kitchen,
Pictured above is the wild boar tenderloin with hazelnut and champagne vinaigrette which was offered by Polaris. This interesting dish was but one of the many culinary options offered as samples at Taste of Atlanta last weekend.

Techs mens golf team had
a busy weekend in Franklin

Sporting Goods Collegiate Challenge. The weekend was packed
full of close competition as the
Jackets did their best to break
their ties that developed early on
in the tournament.
By the end of the first day of
the tournament, the Jackets were
all tied up. Sophomore James
Clark ended the first day of the
tournament with a five-player tie
for eighth place at a two under par
140. Junior Vincent Whaley tied
with six others for No. 16, sophomore Chris Petefish tied for No.
29, junior Michael Hines for No.
36 and sohpomore Jacob Joiner
for No. 45.
Trapped in ties, the Jackets
finished day one anxious for day
twos competition.
It was a positive day in a lot
of ways, said head coach Bruce
Heppler, courtesy of ramblinwreck.com. We made 19 birdies
in the morning round but had too
many big scores. This afternoon,
we struggled to make birdies,
but we stayed away from the big
numbers. The course is a challenge, and our guys complete all
36 holes.
We just need a couple of guys
to get under par and give us some
momentum. Im looking forward
to see how we handle tomorrow.
Day two did not disappoint.
earned another half for the Jackets. Hines played a close match
against Ryan Orr, but was not
able to earn a victory. The Jackets,
unable to come from behind, lost
to Florida in the match play portion of day three.
With time left to prepare,
the Jackets are hoping to make
a comeback at the United States
Collegiate Championship. The
three-day tournament begins October sixteenth at the Golf Club of
Georgia in Alpharetta.
Junior Vincent Whaley has emerged as a strong leader for the Jackets, shooting a personal season best 67, 4 under par, on day two of last weekends tournament.

TAR HEELS
// SPORTS
The Tar Heels run a spread offense quarterbacked by senior three-year-starter Marquise Williams. He was responsible for over 3,800 yards and
35 touchdowns for UNC a year ago and lit up the
Jackets secondary with 390 yards and four touchdowns in their last meeting. His performance in
2014 also earned him a second-team AllACC selection, behind only FSUs
Jameis Winston. However, he
was benched in the second half
of last weeks game against
FCS Delaware, and there was
some speculation that he would
lose the starting job to Mitch
Trubisky, who threw for 312
yards and four touchdowns in the
second half of that game. Head
coach Larry Fedora assured the
media that Williams will remain
the starter heading into this
week. Either way, the Tar
Heels have the ability to
put up some gaudy passing numbers.
Williamss primary
the brunt of the work at the B-back position. Aback Broderick Snoddy only saw two carriers last
week at Duke as he had suffered a hand injury, but
with an extra week to recover, he should provide
a spark to a Tech offense that desperately needs it.
UNC possesses a lockdown defensive secondary,
so do not expect too much through the air from
Tech in this game. Consequently, the Tar Heels
may commit more players to stopping the option
than usual, making it harder for the Jackets to set
their own offensive tempo.
The defensive
secondary will
have its hands
full trying to
cover all of
UNCs weapons. The unit
should
focus
much of their efforts on stopping wide
receiver Ryan Switzer. The undersized yet
speedy junior torched the Jackets a year ago in
Chapel Hill, amassing 136 yards and two touchdowns on nine receptions. Switzer also has the
ability to make explosive plays on special teams,
an area in which the Jackets have struggled as of
late.
With the UNC defense surrendering a lot of
ground yards but few touchdowns, the kicking
game will be a factor. Harrison Butker recovered
from a mediocre outing in South Bend to hit
both of his attempts against Duke from 48 and
52 yards out. Hopefully for Tech, the home environment combined with the confidence from last
week will allow him to convert on his attempts.

The Tech volleyball team
played with authority and nerve
this past weekend, opening
ACC play with a 3-0 sweep versus Clemson on Friday, Sept. 25,
and a come-from-behind 3-2 win
against Boston College on the
following Sunday. With these
victories, the Jackets posted an
impressive 11-3 record, which
is third best in the conference.
Opening up conference play for
a third straight year on the road,
the Jackets were hampered little, if
any, by Fridays road trip to Clemson, S.C.
Tech had not won in Clemson
since 2009, but that was meant
to change this year as the Jackets
match against the Tigers was a
poaching. In the first set, Tech
took a very early lead at 2-1 and
never looked back, winning easily
by a score of 25-17. Sets two and
three proved to be slightly more
difficult affairs, but the Jackets
still won comfortably by scores of
25-20 and 25-19, respectively.
Its always a hard place to
play here, so it was nice to have
this performance on the road,
said head coach Michelle Collier,

I think it was a good team win.
The best performance of the
match goes to the usual suspect
Teegan Van Gunst, who had a
double-double with 18 kills and
13 digs. The Jackets were thrilled
to open conference play in the

helped us change things up. Im
proud of how we fought.
The Jackets sensational win
was a team effort led by Teegan
Van Gunst, who tallied 22 kills
and 12 digs, giving her eight
double-doubles on the season, and
Anna Kavalchuk, who was the offensive spark the Jackets needed,

reached the 1,000 career digs

weekend performance, Teegan
Van Gunst was named ACC Player of the Week, her second time
this season receiving the honor.
Coming off of this great first
weekend of ACC play, the Jackets move forward looking to keep
the winning streak alive. Heading
into a weekend of two difficult
match-ups, the Jackets will be
concentrating all of their practice
time in preparation for their away
matches versus a tough Miami
team on Friday, Oct. 2, followed
by an even tougher, No. 17 Florida State team on Sunday, Oct. 4.

looks much better than any other

past few seasons. Given the right

and luck, this group of girls has

Tech has not done since 2010: upset Florida State in Tallahassee.

After Techs first two games,
junior quarterback Justin Thomas
looked to be en route to his deadliest season yet, eluding hapless defenses and making decisive reads.
Two weeks later, the scene
could hardly be more different.
Fresh off a difficult defeat at the
hands of Notre Dame and a stinging conference loss to rival Duke,
Tech fans are justified in wondering what exactly has happened to
the offense Thomas has skillfully
directed. Whether the Jackets
contend for an ACC championship or finish in middle of conference hinges upon how well Coach
Johnson and the offense can
answer that question.
A significant issue that the
Jackets have faced in the last two
games is the offensive lines inability to open lanes in the run game,
typically a hallmark of that unit.
In wins versus Alcorn State and
Tulane, the team did not look as
though it would miss the stellar
play of All-American right guard
and draft pick Shaq Mason, but
the poor play by the veteran offensive line and the inexperience
at the skill positions has been exposed in recent weeks.
The team was held to its lowest rushing total in almost two
years. That is a serious concern
for a team that prides itself on
