Tech bookstore Couple brings taste of Brazil to Blacksburg celebrates 45 BY JESSICA GROVES | lifestyles staff writer

Francisco “Kiko” Azevedo cooks his secret brazilian recipe for community members at the Blacksburg Farmer’s Market.
Motivated by his love of soccer and his passion for food, Brazil native Francisco Azevedo plans to open a Brazilian restaurant in 2014. He hopes to connect people in the community through his food.
W
hen Francisco “Kiko” Azevedo and his wife, Isabella Osorio Da Fonseca, decided to cook for the Blacksburg Farmer’s Market, they didn’t know how customers would react. Like the couple themselves, authentic Brazilian food is relatively new to Blacksburg’s dining scene. “We were not expecting too many people in the beginning, because nobody knows us,” Azevedo said. Azevedo and Fonseca came from Brazil to Blacksburg in 2007. Although their transition to a new area was challenging, they immediately began building relationships with neighbors and friends in Virginia Tech’s international community. In 2009, Azevedo, along with eight other Brazilians, created International Soccer Friends, a group that has expanded to include more than 300 soccer players in the New
River Valley. And whenever the group gets together, food is present. “The grill for us in Brazil is the way we get together,” Fonseca said. “We started to bring this idea to share with friends in soccer.” In Brazil, barbecue grill-outs called “churrascos” are common, even at small get-togethers. Azevedo and Fonseca brought the churrasco tradition to Blacksburg by organizing potluck dinners with neighbors and friends. “I remember the first birthday party (we had for) our son, we invited all the kids and their parents — and the next day, people were calling me, asking what he put on the meat,” Fonseca said. Azevedo, affectionately known as “Kiko” to friends and family, said that he has been cooking since he was young. After college, he worked in his uncle’s “churrascaria,” or Brazilian
steakhouse, and the dream of opening a restaurant slowly took root in his mind. “People used to ask, ‘Why don’t you open a restaurant?’” Azevedo said. “I used to joke that it’s going to be my retirement plan. Now I’m more confident, and things are getting close.” Azevedo’s passion for soccer influenced his plans to create Gaucho Brazilian Steak. Now that their plans are becoming a reality, Azevedo and Fonseca have found food, in addition to soccer, is helping them fulfill their original purpose: bonding with the community and building relationships. “When we saw everybody liking and enjoying the food, we thought, ‘Why not?’” Isabella said. “It’s his passion to go to the kitchen and to start to experiment.”
Generations of Hokies have been shopping at the University Bookstore. Now, the bookstore is giving back to its customers with a celebration of its 45th birthday with special activities and a sale. Over its 45-year history, the University Bookstore has undergone changes in its structure, name and location, but its mission statement to “furnish books, school supplies and other services for the use and benefit of students, faculty, staff and alumni” has remained the same. It’s that mission statement that has kept Assistant Director of the bookstore and Virginia Tech alumni, Steve Glosh, working with the bookstore for the last 33 years. “Not a lot of people get the opportunity to come back and work for their alma matter” Glosh said, “and there’s not many university bookstores that can say everything they do in their operation goes back to help the students at the university”.
The University Bookstore is an independently operated, non-profit enterprise of Virginia Tech Services Inc. It pays its own employees and covers its own operating costs. Once operating costs are covered, the majority of its profits are used for things like scholarships and facility improvements. This reinvestment back into campus coincides with a resounding theme of service to the students of Virginia Tech. Glosh used the Student Government Association’s “Effect” shirts as an example. “After their first year doing it, they came to us and asked what we could do for them, and from that point forward, a partnership started to grow between us and the SGA to sell thousands of shirts,” said Glosh “I think it gets better every year.” On Thursday, Oct. 17, the bookstore will invite students to celebrate its 45 years of operation with free food, drinks, raffles and T-shirts on the drillfield from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

has been the lead force behind bringing Mraz to Tech. “I surveyed the student body and he was a popular choice,” Beers said. “Plus he’s from Virginia and he’s won Grammys, so I think it’s important for southwest Virginia to be exposed to artists that have done really well, especially if they’re also from Virginia.” Grammy-winning singer/ songwriter Jason Mraz originally comes from the small town of Mechanicsville, Va. but first gained musical recognition in 2000 at a San Diego coffee shop.

LIFESTYLES
Starting this year, the building adjacent to Lavery Hall has a more meaningful identifier — Kelly Hall. The building, which houses the Institute for Critical Technology and Applied Science headquarters, is named after the Kellys, a married couple who are long-time supporters of Virginia Tech. Hugh Kelly earned his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering in 1937 and his master’s degree in the same field the following year. He went on to have a successful engineering career, working with several different companies including AT&T and NASA. Hugh died in 1989, but his wife Ethel continued

to support the College of Engineering after his death. “The Kellys were benefactors and they left a major bequest to the university,” Associate Vice President of University Relations Larry Hincker said. “Mr. Kelly was an experienced and high profile NASA executive and scientist, and then he passed away and his wife wanted to commemorate his memory.” According to the initial press release announcing the naming of Kelly Hall, Ethel Kelly’s estate provided $5 million to assist in the cost of the building, and $6 million total. A portion of that money is going to the Hugh and Ethel Kelly Lecture Series that will be held in Kelly Hall. see BUILDING / page two

Brazil: Chef looks to open restaurant Raw food makes
diet more ‘vibrant’
from page one
Gaucho Brazilian Steak has spent five days at the market so far. In that time, Azevedo and Fonseca have tried to focus on experience over profit by selling original variations on classic Brazilian steak and kebab dishes. One customer in particular enjoyed the food so much, he brought his extended family to the Gaucho Brazilian Steak stand and ordered more than $50 worth of food. “Sometimes you say, ‘I like it,’ but you don’t like it too much,” Azevedo said, “but if people say they like it and then they come back, they really like it.” From backyard barbecues to busy market stands, the demand for Azevedo’s cooking has grown significantly in the past six years. In 2010, Azevedo grew confident enough to start planning his next big step with Gaucho Brazilian Steak — finding a restaurant location. Regardless of the size or shape of the restaurant, Gaucho Brazilian Steak will feature a large grill, called a paisa, next to the bar. The grill will be a large showpiece for the restaurant’s customers to appreciate, but it also points to the historical traditions of the gaucho. “When you get into the restaurant you’re going to see me,” Azevedo said. “I’m not hiding behind the walls or in the kitchen.”

Azevedo serves up flavors from his home country of Brazil for customers of the Farmer’s Market. And without this gaucho style of cooking, Azevedo said, the restaurant would not be complete. “(The food would) taste good, but it wouldn’t be the same,” Fonseca said. “The magic is not just the food itself.” According to several curious customers, some magic exists in the secret blend of seasoning that Azevedo uses. Fonseca said that Azevedo usually strays away from a
recipe when he cooks and that he tries new experiments each time he makes food. “They ask, ‘What do you put on the meat?’” Azevedo said. “I say, ‘Nothing, just passion.’” According to Azevedo, even architecture gets incorporated into his food. “As a chef, I like to make good food, but the plate has to look nice,” Azevedo said. “I like to build the plate in a good way, in an artistic way.”
On a bigger scale, Azevedo and Fonseca are using their passions to connect people from all backgrounds in the Blacksburg community. “It’s not just Americans or Brazilians,” Fonseca said. “We have been having people here from Turkey, India, China, Venezuela and Colombia — and everybody likes it.”

Mraz: Songwriter brings along all-female band Raining Jane from page one
Shortly after, in 2002, he released his debut album, “Waiting for My Rocket to Come,” which became popular with the hit single, “The Remedy (I Won’t Worry).” Since then, Mraz has dabbled in several musical genres, from pop-rock to reggae, and has released three more albums. “He has so much work that spans so many different genres and so many years,” Beers said. “A two hour show is going to be really fun because you’ll get to hear things you heard in 2004 as well as the things he’s performing now, in 2013.” Haley Feazel-Orr, a junior biology major, is among many looking forward to Mraz’s
performance. “I wanted to go see him because he’s someone I’ve listened to since I was young,” Feazel-Orr said. “And he never puts out a song that I don’t love.” The 36-year-old singer’s major breakthrough came in 2008 with the light and soulful single “I’m Yours.” From the album “We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things,” the song was Mraz’s first topten single, and later went on to break a Billboard Hot 100 record when it remained on the list for 76 weeks. Most recently, Mraz has been working to promote his latest album, “Love is a Four Letter Word,” featuring the hit “I Won’t Give Up,” which hit number one on iTunes in January 2012.
Mraz also gained recognition in the past year when he became the first international artist to perform publicly in the country of Burma. The concert, sponsored by MTV EXIT, worked to raise awareness about human trafficking within Burma’s borders. Currently, Mraz is touring the country and working on his fift h album in collaboration with the all-female band Raining Jane. Raining Jane, which debuted in 1999, features the talent of Mai Bloomfield, Chaska Potter, Mona Tavakoli and Becky Gebhardt. The four women feature a rock-folk sound and have been working with Mraz since 2007. “Raining Jane is absolutely incredible,” said Laura Bedenbaugh, VTU’s direc-
tor of student programming. “We’ve been trying to get them to perform here for years and were so ecstatic when we found out they’d be coming with Jason Mraz.” Beers and the VTU have been planning the event since July of this year and look forward to seeing it come to fruition. “It’s important for the Virginia Tech student body to understand the amount of work that goes into bringing a performance like Jason Mraz to campus,” said Nick Warrington, VTU’s graduate advisor. “It’s pretty cool that a completely student-run organization is able to pull something like this off.”

On Oct. 16, Micah Hensley, owner of the local raw food company Rawlicious, will be speaking at the Women’s Center as part of the Women and Wellness Project. Hensley will be presenting an introduction to blending and eating raw in addition to providing samples and demonstrating how to prepare raw foods. “I hope that if they do have reasons to really become healthier, I know that if they choose (the raw lifestyle) way, it’ll really help,” Hensley said. “I can give you the keys, but you’re the one that’s got to turn the keys and do the work. I’ve already done it.” Hensley’s journey to raw food began about six years ago when he decided to use food to cure a disease which otherwise required medicine. With a high interest in raw food, Hensley became certified in raw food culinary and raw food health consulting, and eventually opened Rawlicious two years ago. “Once I started eating all this vibrant food, my energy went up,” Hensley said. “It really creates vibrancy in the body when you feed the body vibrant food. I learned health is wealth.” The main objective of Rawlicious, according to Hensley, is not only getting the idea of raw food living for optimal health out there, but creating raw food for people to experience how good it is and teaching them
skills to make it. Hensley creates an array of foods and drinks, which include raw tacos, raw lasagna, raw pizza, nut milk, vegan cheeses, fresh juices and green smoothies. According Kelsey Harrington, the program director for the Women’s Center, who is also vegan, clean eating is not only unique, but a popular topic and current trend. “I think (students) will gain just an openness,” Harrington said. “I want them to be curious about this different way of eating.” According to vegan.org, a vegan is someone who, for various reasons, chooses to avoid using or consuming animal products. “Our focus is not skinniness, not losing weight, not looking a certain way. It’s about feeling good about yourself,” Harrington said. “This is a way for people to maybe look at a way they’re feeding their bodies in a positive way.” Hensley recognizes not everyone who attends his lecture will become vegan or invest in a raw food lifestyle; however, it has the potential to motivate people more to consider the dietary changes. “Most people know that eating some apples and a handful of almonds is better than a pizza,” Hensley said. “The difference is comfort. One will comfort you for an hour, but the other will make you more vibrant.” The event is free and open to the public. Registration is available online at womenscenter.vt.edu.
Building: Kellys donated $6M for construction from page one
Though the building has been around since 2009, it has only been called Kelly Hall this year. “It’s our more common practice to name a building for someone,” Hincker said. Many iconic buildings on campus went through the same process. Until the 70s, Burruss Hall was called the Teaching and
Administration Building, just like Torgersen Hall used to be named the Advance Communications a nd I n for mat ion Technology Center. The Kellys join many other benefactors and important Hokies that have buildings named after them on campus.

I
remember the first time I listened to a dubstep song. It was a shocking experience. However, my tastes have changed a lot since then and now. Today, dubstep and, pretty much any electronic music genre, makes up a large portion of my music library. I’ve seen electronic music spill into other genres and influence pretty much every top 40 song in the last year or so, which is why I find it interesting that so many people say that they hate electronic dance music (EDM), without knowing how pervasive it is. But why this sudden shift in music? Technology. A study done earlier this year by the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project found that 93 percent of teenagers have a computer, over 78 percent of teenagers have a cellphone and 23 percent of teenagers have a tablet, numbers that are comparable to the levels of the general adult population. It doesn’t stop there, the rise of technology in everyday life can be seen wherever you go. From 3D printing to touchscreens to cars that park for you — these technologies are now being represented in our most popular music. There is a theory that music is a reflection of sounds that we hear most often and are familiar with. Centuries ago music reflected sounds of nature such as wind rustling, rain falling or rocks scraping. Music sounded like this because these are the noises that everyone heard all the time in their daily lives. Fast forward to today. What noises represent what our generation, who are now the ones that make and listen to music the most, is surrounded by? CDs whirring, random boops and beeps from machines, noises from video games and science fiction movies, car and smoke alarms, the various noises our cellphones make — the list goes on and on.
“
There is a theory that music is a reflection of sounds that we hear most often and are familiar with.”
Now queue up your favorite EDM song and really listen to it. You’ll find that you’ve probably heard all these noises before, just not together in sync, or with harmony and vocals. All these sounds could not have been imagined decades ago, thus the growing number of “check out my grandpa listen to this dubstep song” reaction videos on YouTube. Technology is only going to creep further and further into our lives, but this is not a bad thing. In fact we should embrace technology wholeheartedly. We evolved to be smart enough to invent things, not for the sake of inventing them, but to improve the quality of our lives. While many fear that we are losing our “humanity” because machines don’t have “souls,” or that technology is going to gain consciousness and rise against us, there shouldn’t be any concern. Technology is a part of us, it allowed us to harness the power of fire, cross the oceans and connect with people like never before. Now our music is merely reflecting our technical prowess.

Unpaid interns must be protected L
ess than two weeks ago a judge in New York ruled that, because a female intern was not on payroll, she could not make a sexual harassment claim under the New York City Humans Rights Law. Lihuan Wang, the former intern for Phoenix Satellite Television US, Inc., stated that her supervisor asked her to drop a few items off at his hotel and when she arrived, he proceeded to greet her with unsolicited groping and sexual comments. This sort of sexual harassment is all too common even when workplace protections are in place. The fact that interns do not receive guaranteed protection due to a lack of monetary compensation is incomprehensible. A similar case, O’Connor v. Davis, involved a social
work intern who said she was sexually harassed by a staff psychiatrist during the course of her internship. The plaintiff claimed that she was subjected to sexual harassment in violation of Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act. However, the lack of any kind of salary, wages, insurance, vacation or sick pay from her employer was fatal to O’Connor’s claim of employee status, and consequently, to the Title VII count of her complaint. Unpaid interns are put in a compromising position by these interpretations of the law, and yet little to no action has taken place at the federal level. This case of Lihuan Wang v. Phoenix Satellite Television US, Inc. raises a similar issue of whether or not unpaid intern-
ships violate state and federal minimum wage laws. Employers greatly benefit from these unpaid positions because not only are they receiving services for free, they can also claim the lack of pay renders an intern unable to bring a sexual harassment or discrimination charge. Some have taken notice of the problem and are taking action against it. In June, a law that would protect interns from sexual harassment was passed in Oregon. Selected colleges and universities have also taken measures to protect their students. One of which is UCLA, where on the website there is a list of “Criteria for an Unpaid Opportunity to be Defined as an Internship,” including a requirement that an employer adhere to the university’s sexual harassment policy.
These protections against interns taken by the state of Oregon and UCLA are a step toward progress, but more states and universities need to take the same stance in order to have any real effect. Students are only trying to better themselves by accepting an opportunity that will better prepare them for entering the workforce, but unfortunately they occasionally fi nd themselves being taken advantage of. It is deeply bothersome that the only thing between these victims receiving the justice they deserve and being cast aside by the courts is a paycheck.

Military judicial system needs institutional change We
have the most powerful military in the world, and its purpose is to protect the citizens of our country. But what happens when the entity that is supposed to protect us can’t even protect those within its own ranks? In 2011, Newsweek reported that more military women were sexually assaulted than were killed in combat. The greatest threat to our military is itself and its inability to control the overwhelming number of sexual assaults that happen within units across all branches. In 2012, the U.S. Department of Defense reported that 26,300 service men and women said they were sexually assaulted in the military. Of those only 3,374 were reported. From that, 62 percent of sexual assault victims in the military experienced retaliation including: inhibiting promotion by commanding officers, being ostracized within their units and even facing discharge from service. There is a 0.9 percent conviction rate of military sexual assaults. Up until it was overturned, a violation of “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy resulted in immediate dismissal from the military,
yet those convicted of criminal assault are often allowed to return to their units. For a unit to be successful and cohesive all members must be committed to their duties. Every member must look out for one another and be willing to sacrifice himself/herself for the greater good of the collective unit. Psychologically, this ability is shattered if one member of a unit violates the trust of another. The egregious nature of sexual assault is not tolerated in civilian society and results in serious criminal repercussions. In our military this behavior in many cases is handled with a slight slap on the wrist for the accused. Th is dichotomy is unacceptable, yet the trend will continue if our military justice system is not changed. Currently power to decide whether a case is heard at a courtmartial lies with the presiding commanding officers . This results in many sexual assault cases not even going to trial. In the current investigation into alleged sexual assault by three Naval Academy football players, the original military judge ruled not to court-martial the players. It took the superintendent of the
U.S. Naval Academy himself to overturn the initial ruling. This case is receiving national attention, and it points out two very apparent issues. First, the original commander did not see it necessary for the players to go to trial. And second, it is possible that the superintendent only stepped in because the case was receiving nation-wide attention. There are too many sexual assault cases in the military that don’t have the luxury of being on a national platform to force the issue. The decision to continue the case needs to be taken away from the military and be put in the hands of the civilian criminal justice system. A civilian justice system will allow impartial juries to bring justice to the men and women, fathers and mothers, sons and daughters that make up our military. It has worked for many of our military allies such as Canada, Britain, Sweden and Germany. So what is stopping us? CAROLINE KELLY - regular columnist - sophomore - english

Scoreless drought reaches 6 games in loss to Irish JULIA CANON sports staff writer
The Virginia Tech men’s soccer team continued their longest scoring drought in school history last Friday night. The Hokies fell to second-ranked Notre Dame 1-0 after giving up a goal in the last minute of the game. “I think with a minute left, our guys took a mental break and thought we were going to go into overtime,” said head coach David Brizendine. “Notre Dame realized that they had plenty of time and got a goal.” Senior forward Harrison Shipp scored the winning goal for Notre Dame with a shot that found the bottom right
corner of the net. The Tech defense held strong until the last minutes of the game, stifling Notre Dames dominant offensive attack. “The outside backs had some injuries and have fluctuated some, but they had a great performance tonight,” Brizendine said. “James Duvcevski was great, but a little washy at the end and Deven Mason on the right was aggressive and did a good job.” In addition to the defense’s performance, Hokies goalkeeper Kyle Renfro had an exceptional game. “I think this is the best game he has had,” senior Robert Alberti said. “The saves he was making were world class.” Renfro posted seven saves
on the game, many of which looked to be sure goals. While the defense had a noteworthy performance against Notre Dame, the Hokies’ failure to score has plagued the team. They last scored almost a month ago against High Point. “Our schedule is very difficult,” Brizendine said. “Yes we are in a scoring drought, but we have played the No. 1, 2, and 15 ranked teams in the country. So its not like were out here playing a Division 3 team, we’re just missing goals.” The team has echoed Brizendine’s positive outlook about their scoring drought. While they have been practicing their shots on goal, scor-
ing is not a huge concern for the team. “It’s frustrating, but we’re just doing our job as a team,” Renfro said. “Goals will come eventually so we’re not too worried about that. Right now we’re focused on feeding off of our defense.” The Hokies hope to move on from their heartbreaking loss and scoring drought this Friday against in-state rival Virginia at Thompson field. “Right now we are staying positive, moving forward and not focusing on the past,” Renfro said. “We’re only worrying about UVa.” BEN WEIDLICH / SPPS

Freshmen figure to play big role on hardwood BROOKS AKER sports reporter
The Virginia Tech men’s basketball team finished its second week of practice Friday afternoon with an open session followed by a scrimmage. The Hokies looked solid in the 75 minutes of practice, splitting time fairly evenly between offensive and defensive drills. There were some injuries to note, a key freshman making plays and a significant change in leadership.
Injury Update After two weeks, the Hokies are already a little banged up, but have avoided major injuries through the first couple of weeks. The most notable injuries were to junior forward C.J. Barksdale and junior guard Marquis Rankin. Barksdale was wearing a walking boot
and did not participate in any drills with the team. “Little bit of Achilles tendinitis,” head coach James Johnson said of Barksdale’s injury. “If we had to play a real game situation he could probably go tonight but (for) precautionary (reasons) we’re holding him out.” Rankin’s injury was the more recent and severe of the two. He suffered a heavy bruise on his shin in practice and was unable to participate Friday. “He bumped his shin the other day diving for a loose ball,” Johnson said on Friday. “He probably wouldn’t (play Friday) because it happened on Wednesday, so if he we had to play Friday he probably couldn’t play.” Additionally, freshman Ben Emelogu had ice wrapped on his left knee after practice ended. There is nothing
significant about the injury according to Johnson, but the Hokies want to take precautionary measures to ensure Emelogu recovers quickly.
Impact Freshman Freshman point guard Devin Wilson of McKee’s Rock, Pa. has made an immediate impact in the first two weeks. After Johnson clearly indicated that there was going to be an open competition for the job of starting point guard, Wilson took note. “Coach Johnson on my official visit said he’s going to give me a chance to compete whether there’s four point guards or one point guard, so I came in with the mindset of I just wanted to compete for a spot that I thought I could get,” Wilson said. Through two weeks of practice, Wilson said he feels pret-
ty comfortable after his tenth collegiate practice. “I think they’re going great. Team wise, I think we’re moving along pretty smooth with all the freshmen that came in. For myself, I believe I’m transitioning well to the college game and that’s all I could really ask for as of now,” he said. And with the injury to Rankin and freshman Malik Mueller being ruled ineligible for the season, Wilson has to be ready. “Devin would be the primary ball handler (if we played today),” Johnson said.
Young Leader The Hokies have named one team captain for the upcoming season, and it’s not who most would have expected. The team captain is not an upperclassman; in fact, he’s
the youngest player on the roster, Ben Emelogu. Though he may be young, he’s made a lasting impact on the team since the beginning of team activities. “I think from day one when he walked in and we started our workouts on July 6, I saw the respect that the other teammates had for him and I saw how he was vocal and very confident about himself out on the floor right away as a freshman,” Johnson said about his freshman captain. “He’s been a leader and he can flat out put the ball in the hole, and he can score it off the dribble, shooting, creating his own shot. He’s been a leader, he’s talkative, the guys respect him — he’s doing everything well.” And it wasn’t just Johnson that was impressed by Emelogu; his teammates
noticed too. “For sure he’s deserving of it,” Wilson said. “Th rough summer workouts he was easily one of the most competitive people we’ve had on the team. Me and him were pushing each other every drill, all the freshmen were pushing each other but he was always that kind of person who was always talking a little bit more, doing that extra rep so he definitely deserved what he got.” But Emelogu feels he didn’t do anything extraordinary to earn the role. “I was just being myself,” Emelogu said. “Coach told me to come in with confidence and just play my game and all the pieces fell in where they were supposed to go.”
