They all just want to have a good time,” Nicholson said.

Ted Baker is focused on making do with what is at hand. He is so focused on this topic, in fact, that he received the 2011 Grief Research Impact Award for his research into bricolage at the August 2011 Academy of Management meeting in San Antonio, Texas. Baker, an associate professor of management, innovation, and entrepreneurship, defined bricolage as ‘making do by applying combinations of the resources at hand to new problems and opportunities.’ Specifically, his research is focused on entrepreneurs in North Carolina, South Africa and India who do ‘remarkable’ things while having limited resources. “I try to understand how they do this, what problems and pitfalls they run into and what differentiates their behavior from the patterns of behavior of those entrepreneurs who are less resourceful,” Baker said. According to a press release from the Poole College of Management, the award is given to “researchers who published the most impactful entrepreneurship article six years ago in the top management and entrepreneurship journals.” For this award, the magnitude of the impact is measured by the number of times the paper was cited in the five years following publication. Baker’s paper had 347 citations as of mid-August 2011, making it the front-runner. Roger Debo, director of The Entrepreneurship Collaborative, said that he thinks the strict criteria for this award makes it extra meaningful for

Baker. “This is one of the few awards given that is not in any way political,” Debo said. “They just look at how many citations there are for a journal article. In my mind, that makes it more impressive.” Debo, who teaches alongside Dr. Baker in the masters in business administration program, went on to say that this award is also special because it measures the impact that Baker’s research has had on fellow researchers. “It’s about how much the research community has cited your article and included your research in their own,”Debo said. “That’s pretty impressive.” Ira Weiss, dean of the Poole College of Management, also said that the criteria on which the award was given speaks to the impact of Baker’s work. “Dr. Baker’s work has been cited more times in the last five years than any other researcher in his field,” Weiss said. “That means more research as to how companies get started are based on his work than any other researcher in the world over the last five years.” The topic of bricolage is not restricted to entrepreneurial studies, according to Baker. “The concept of bricolage has been applied across a wide variety of disciplines, from evolutionary biology, to legal studies, to elementary education,” said Baker. “Some of my other work explores bricolage and a related concept – organizational improvisation – among university scientists at and around the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Baker also does research does other entrepreneurial topics, including venture capital and entrepreneurship pedagogy.

Hurricane Irene hits East Coast

Now t hat Hurrica ne Irene has passed through the state, Gov. Bev Perdue, FEMA teams and federal teams are beginning damage assessments in North Carolina. “We will reach anyone who needs help as quickly as we can,” Perdue said. “Everyone needs to remember that, while Irene

has left North Carolina, there are still very real dangers, such as downed power lines, rising flood waters and fallen trees.” Six storm-related deaths have been reported so far in five N.C. counties and more than 444,000 power outages remain. Three were killed in motor vehicle crashes, two were killed by falling trees and one suffered a heart attack while preparing for storm. “The Outer Banks has taken a hit, and we saw damage everywhere we stopped,” Perdue said. “Lives have been lost, homes and property destroyed.

But this storm could have been worse, and North Carolinians are resilient. We come together in times of need. Hurricanes are a way of life here, and we know how to deal with them.” Source: Office of the Governor and FEMA

Bricolage also has cross-discipline relevance on campus. Erin Powell Smith, graduate research assistant in textiles, has applied and extended the work on bricolage to other forms of resourcefulness to be

applicable to textile entrepreneurship, according to Baker. Ba ker’s ar ticle was coauthored by Reed Nelson of Southern Illinois University. “I met [Dr. Nelson] when, as editor of a major journal, he rejected one of my papers,” Baker said. “He called me to talk about it, and it turned out we had overlapping interests and started working together

student and any other student that will go to work for a profitmaking organization.” Baker said that while entrepreneurial studies may not traditionally come to mind when one thinks of research, it still has vast importance, and students should become involved in it. “Entrepreneurial research is built on foundations of tra-

ditional social and behavioral sciences such as sociology, psychology, and economics,” Baker said. “The best way for student to get involved with research is to talk with faculty members whose work interests them to see whether they would find the actual routine work of doing the research interesting.” Debo said the impact of Baker’s award will have a positive

impact on the college in the future. “This award is fantastic for our department and college,” Debo said. “It’s been a concerted effort over the past few years to recruit entrepreneurship professors and to build up a strong department, and an award like this helps to put us on the map.”

Possible Lotus Infestation in Lake Raleigh Invasive flower has seen large population growth. Emmanuel Larson Correspondent

Yellow flowers with circular bases, called Nelumbo Lutea, a species of Lotus flower, could have taken over Lake Raleigh on Centennial Campus. As a possible start of an infestation, a worry that the species would be invasive to the Lake Raleigh ecosystem arose. Jon Stucky, a professor in the department of plant biology, described some common traits of the invasive species. “Many of [the lotus] produce more seeds, and the length of time the seeds remain living can be signs of invasiveness. Also there is a wide distribution of seeds rather than having only localized distribution of seeds they disperse farther away.” One of the fears with the Nelumbo Lutea was that it would grow to outcompete or outcrowd its neighboring plant life to become a dominant species in the lake. “Rapid growth, meaning invasive species grow faster than non-invasive species,” Stucky said. “The general thinking is that when a species moves and is distributed, by whatever mechanism, it is thought that no longer does that species face those factors that were inhibiting its spread in its native area. In other words, it sort of escapes, apparently, some restrictive factors, and when it escapes to a new area, it could take advantage of those biologi-

instance; but if you cut off the rhizome of the lotus, the upright grows back very fast. The rhizome is buried, it is thick, it is tough; in one of my aquatic plant classes three guys tried to dig one up and they couldn’t do it.” The difficulty of having to dig up each Lotus would be inefficient at this stage in their growth, and would also cost a lot of money. The other option to eradicating the species was the usage of chemicals. “You would have to use chemicals and I’m really not in favor of doing that if it’s just a habitat species that’s a little too thick for aesthetic tastes. I

think it’s a shame to use pesticides because there’s enough of that in the landscape already. There’s enough problems due to pesticides already.” The Neuse River Basin System is already known to be polluted by herbicides, which can have adverse impacts on the environments in which they are used. The options of getting rid of the Lotus may have to be confronted soon, but as they are right now, they’re only a visual disturbance. They have certain visual qualities that could add to the lake aesthetically due to their yellow blossoms and floating leaves.

“This species is just looking for habitat. All the construction that was done around centennial campus and the golf course and all the nutrients running off – there are plenty of reasons why aquatic plants or wetland plants end up taking off in areas we make it so desirable for them. It’s not the plant’s fault, it was such a disturbed area and the lake was not taken care of well.” Burkholder said.

Peace alumni barred from moving in students as new semester begins Newly renamed William Peace University pushed back at alumni for protesting recent changes. Brooke Wallig Staff Writer

Peace College administration banned its alumni from participating in a campus tradition over the weekend as a result of recent protests to announced changes to the College. Representatives of the women’s college announced July 21 that the college would not only change its name to William Peace University, it would begin to admit male students— changes that have not settled well with alumni, who have staged sit ins and other activities to fight these changes. Because of these protests, Peace College’s Board of Trustees—who refused to speak directly with the Technician—issued the following statement, stating alumni would not be able to help with move-in weekend, and would not be allowed past campus security.

“Our announcement to become coeducational is a challenging one for some of our alumnae. We were informed that some alumnae were planning to disrupt move-in day as a means to protest this decision. Therefore, and upon the advice of the Raleigh Police Department, the decision was made to limit participation during move-in day to ensure the safety and privacy of our students,” the statement read. Beth Falkner, ’04 Peace College alum, said she felt the college’s actions were unnecessary and offensive. “This was a great tradition because when a student comes to campus to move in, it’s really a surprise for them to find out that they don’t move their stuff in. The recent alumni come out and move their stuff in for them,”Falkner said. “We were really disappointed. We were never going to protest on Saturday because we don’t want to detract from the move in day experience. That was never part of our agenda. The last thing you need to see as an incoming freshman is to come on campus and see a protest.”

The Board of Trustees’ statement also said administration will remain firm on the recent decisions to change Peace College despite the ongoing protests. “We acknowledge that some are having difficulty in accepting this new path for our educational institution. The decision to become coeducational has been made, and it will be implemented. We know that this transition is the best choice to ensure the long-term success for Peace,” the statement read. But according to the Preserve Peace College Campaign website, alumni aren’t the only ones who have a problem with these changes, as many students and alumni are expected to participate today in a sit-in in front of the campus from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Falkner said she feels the administration is treating the situation as if there is no room in William Peace University for Peace College alumni. “We were shocked that we wouldn’t be allowed on campus. We were told by the police that anyone who goes on campus, doing good or bad, would

we’re not planning on being violent. We know exactly what the police have said we can and cannot do, and we will respect that,”Falkner said. “We have a permit to be outside of Peace. Everything is lawful, and will be peaceful.” So far, Falkner said the college’s administration has answered few of their many questions, further frustrating alumni. “The administration is not listening to any opposing views, and I’m a strong believer that one of the things you have to do is win over opposition,” Falkner said. “But it was their views and no one else’s. The door was shut and we were left out.” According to Falkner, the struggles between the college’s administration and its alumni will likely lead to a lessening in support financially. “Many alumni are going to stop giving to the college. Because if we don’t matter, our money doesn’t either,”Falkner said. “I don’t know why they’re so threatened by us—we just want answers.”

{Our view}

The Facts:

The Board of Governors is the law-making body for the UNC-Systems; dealing with matters such as budget cuts and policy changes. As stated in their statues, they are required to hold open meetings.

Our Opinion:

While the intent was not negative, the way the board’s retreat was held raises concerns among th epublic. The board should understand the appearance of the retreat and be more mindful in the future.

Appearance is everything R ecently, the UNC Systems Board of Governors held a private retreat, which raised the question of the legality of the confidentiality of the retreat itself. The Board of Governor’s statutes mandates broad meetings to be open and available to the public; however, the situation the board put themselves, as well as the appearance of a private session, raises an alarm for many students, faculty and tax-paying citizens. While legally the board did not violate the open meeting law, this concealed retreat put the members in a private environment where they potentially could disclose information. not available to the public. This is why the board should understand this is not an unimportant facet of their meet-

ings. They must ensure their meetings will have transparency and be held accountable for not following this pivotal aspect of the board. The intent of this retreat may not have be malicious or even a way to pull the sheet over the general public’s eyes; however, perception is everything and the way concerns have already surfaced demonstrates the uneasiness the public feels about this closed retreat. Along with this opportunity to break the Chapter 143, Article 33C Board of Governors statute, the board should realize the appearance of such a retreat. The governing body of the

UNC-System should be open and honest with its public, because of its position and influence on students and regular citizens of North Carolina. Even though the board suggests they did not break the open meeting policy, to the public, the retreat looks suspicious and, as the Board should already know, the public remembers the mistakes and will hold those responsible accountable. The mere perception is not the only reason for the concerns raised by the closed meeting, but the attitudes and feelings circulating around the board and its actions, with the current budget cuts and poli-

cy changes under discussion. These matters are important to students, because they directly impact them and the decisions regarding them should not be held behind closed doors. The UNC Board of Governors should know their actions are not merely swept under the rug for this considerably minor rule break. The students and general public will be keeping an extra eye on the way in which the board meetings are conducted. The awareness of the general public will increase and more pressure will be put on the board. These meetings are not merely social events, but life-changing decisions directly impacting students and the general public of North Carolina—so keep the door open.

Is your cell phone your best friend?

survey of wireless carriers revealed that more 285 million Americans are mobile subscribers -- about 91 percent of the total population. This time of year, student s c ome to college and are a lmost forced to buy a cell phone. Who can live without a cell phone? I could Dileep never imagine Karpur my life withStaff Columnist out one. Cell phones make life more convenient, so it would seem there is little reason to deny buying one. When you get advanced technology like email, Wi-Fi, texting and thousands of applications, spending an extra buck on a cell phone is required -- trust me, it’s worth it. When your friends have different schedules, it is easy to contact them and keep in touch. You always know when a party is coming up, it’s easy to keep up with the latest gossip and no matter what the news is, you are always updated. Sometimes these advantages in a cell phone can become an addiction. It takes no time for the added convenience to become an added dependence. This might cause distraction in your routine. For example, if you are having a conversation with someone, and you start replying to text messages, this annoys the other person you were originally talking to. Megan Campbell, a freshman

in agricultural education, said, “I’m completely dependent on my cell phone. It’s always there with me wherever I go, and every five minutes I check my cell phone to make sure that I haven’t missed out on anything. When responding to a text message or reading an important email, I have very nearly walked into other pedestrians, bicyclists, even a door or two.” I know it is difficult to overcome a cell phone addiction, but it is possible. You must realize you are crossing a line in your daily interactions and you definitely need to take a few steps back to reflect. If you want to text or answer an important call, please ask to be excused from your other conversation. Please don’t avoid conversations—it’s really bad etiquette.

How were you or people you know affected by the hurricane? by BRETT MORRIS

I have a couple friends at ECU that had to go home and one of my friends at UNC-W said that her dorm was flooded.

Thank you, University Dining

love dining hall food; not like, not tolerate, but love. You can call me crazy or accuse me of having poor taste buds, but I love the dinElizabeth ing hall. BeWait Guest Columnist fore you ask, I’m not talking about the endless supply of pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers and fries; I actually try to stay away from those if at all possible for health reasons. What I love is the ever-changing selection and variety of good, nutritious food. I don’t know what most people were accustomed to eating before they came to N.C. State, but since my parents split when I was ten, I’ve been accustomed to eating whatever my mom had time to make. Now my mom is a great cook, and I love what she makes, but between my unwillingness to try new things without the guarantee of a back-up dinner and her busy schedule we ate a lot of pasta and baked chicken. We didn’t have time for side dishes; it took us until I was a junior in high school to figure out that we both liked steamed broccoli and that it was fast. So when I got my unlimited meal

plan as a freshman I was superexcited to try new things and eat as many of the fruits and vegetables I love as possible. Instead of the Freshman 15, I actually lost about ten pounds my first year. I’m a junior now, and even though I live in Wolf Village I still have an unlimited meal plan, because I know I’ll eat much healthier there than if I tried to cook something between my 19 credit hours. As a frequenter of Fountain Dining Hall, I have been very impressed with some of the changes they’ve made over the past two years. More obvious ones include the gluten-free selections and the additions of new themed bars, such as the macaroni and cheese bar. Other noticeable, if more subtle changes, include an increased use of local and organic foods, ever expanding efforts to improve nutrition and promote

good eating habits, new lighting and even a new antenna for the TV so it doesn’t lose signal every five minutes anymore. The dining hall staff is also always friendly and helpful. It’s always appreciated when they take the time to herd us to different lines to ease congestion and make getting food faster and easier. Thank you University Dining, I definitely notice and appreciate a ll of your efforts. So next time you’re in the dining hall, instead of complaining about the food, take the time to appreciate the efforts of the staff and realize that if left to your own devices, you would probably be eating the traditional college diet of fast food and cup ramen.

Paul Philippon, founder of the Duck-Rabbit Craft Brewery, stands by his signature dark beers Aug. 22 at the open house of Tasty Beverage Company, a new craft beer store that only sells beer. Tasty Beverage, started by an alum from N.C. State, is located in the warehouse district of downtown Raleigh.

The soft open itself, slated to run from 6 to 8 p.m. that night, only began to wind down around 10 p.m. Darren Quinlan, regional sales manager for Shmaltz Brewing Company, had set up a tasting table near the back of the store, but only an hour and a half into the opening, the samples were already gone. Quinlan’s company met with the owners of Tasty Beverage at a trade show, and they decided to have a representative for their brand at the store’s open. “Prior to this, there really wasn’t anything like this for the down-

town Raleigh area,” Quinlan said. According to Quinlan, beer drinkers of Raleigh are looking beyond macro-brewery selections. “[The long lines] just goes to show you that people are willing to stand outside for an hour or two to see a new beer store. People wouldn’t just stand outside for a Budweiser.” As the crowd thinned out and the night grew darker, the hectic atmosphere of Tasty Beverage began to slow down. The stock of beer shelves dwindled. The store sells beer from breweries less than half an hour away to some from distant places like

Japan, Denmark and Germany. The groups of beer enthusiasts dwindled, leaving only family and friends celebrating Tasty Beverage’s first night of business. The store will be officially open this week, according to owners. “We hope all of the humans at N.C. State will come check us out…and obtain many tasty beverages,” Pratt said. “We look forward to talking with everyone who comes in.”

Precautions can prevent danger from calamities After Virginian earthquake highlighted N.C.’s surprised response, safety tips prevent future harm. James Hatfield Correspondent

Stormi Gignac was nestled in the comfort of her room when the Thursday earthquake disrupted her afternoon. “At first I didn’t really know what was going on”, Gignac, a junior in fashion and textile management, said. “I was on Facebook, and I felt my whole body shaking.

I just thought it had to do with the construction going on.” Gignac has lived in student housing for the three years she has attended N.C. State, but Thursday marked her first such experience.

Family, friends and strangers around the country came together to help her and her refugee family with home-cooked meals, transportation and fundraisers. Over two weeks, Landry made her way to Mississippi, then Greensboro and finally to Raleigh through a cousin. “I hadn’t seen or heard from my cousin in over 15 or 20 years,” she said. Landry said her anxieties increased with the news coverage of the aftermath as Italy was still missing. Italy remembered her feelings well. “It was miserable,” she said. “Very exhausting.” After two more weeks in Raleigh, Landry finally located her daughter and the Red Cross flew her in the next day. “Oh I couldn’t get over— in just that little month she was gone— how big she had gotten,” she said. “I was happy.

“There’s a lot of indie developers in the area,” Youngblood said. “But we’re all kind of spread out. It’s easier to do stuff with more people, so we figured we’d get together to network.” With ten developers coming out, and more who were unable to make it to this event, it’s understandable that networking would be a goal. However, another aspect of the event is reaching out to the public. The structure, Youngblood describes, is a sort of Battle of the Bands for the games on display. Attendees are encouraged to try all the games on display at their own leisure, and then cast their vote on which game is best of show.

“This whole concept [of Raleigh Game On] is popular and really seems to be working,” Youngblood said. “It’s something people wanted, we just gave it a name, place and time. It’s exciting to be a part of that, and we’re hoping we can get good attendance.” Overall, the involved companies hope that people will come out and be able to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere. The developers also want to be able to enjoy the night, so they request no one come trying to solicit a job. Another incentive for locals to attend is the promise of a raffle for attendees to win prizes. The main attraction of the event, the games on display, should be plenty for any gaming fan to enjoy, with numerous genres represented. Mighty Rabbit Studios will be presenting their upcoming title Saturday Morning Hero. An episodic RPG set in a world of 80s pop culture, the game looks to provide a solid amount of quirky humor for people raised through the decade. “Idea behind the game is to take the casual JRPG game

The game stars Riku, a hamster ninja who must wage war against the enemy samurai cats. Eight other titles will be available to attendees to try out, and the developers will all be trying to provide the best experience they can. Though the focus currently remains on the first event, Raleigh Game On is a project the

developers hope will become a regular event. “We’re trying to do it monthly,” Youngblood said. “Our next one should be in three weeks. We’re partnering up with SparkCon. They’re excited to get us to come and show off our games, something we’re excited about aswell.” Of course, what the future holds remains dependent on how popular the first event proves. Interested gamers can visit the first Raleigh Game On event at The Hive downtown. The event will run from seven to ten tonight, August 29.

However, the Pack’s corner kicks went wasted time and time again. Findley cited the short training season as a reason for the lack of capitalization on the corners, and showed belief in the team’s ability to turn that around for the rest of the season. “It’s hard in college soccer, we have about two weeks to prepare ourselves, to get the guys organized, to get team chemistry, make sure we’re fit, then prepare ourselves,” Findley said. “We didn’t deliver as well, but that’s something you get better and better at as the year goes on.” While the Pack’s offense struggled to convert its plentiful scoring opportunities, the defense played strongly, consistently getting in Saint Francis’ passing lanes the few times their offense got near the box, a major reason behind Saint Francis only getting off five shots

Following, the men’s team will take to the pitch at 8 p.m. against VMI and will seek to continue their shut-out ways and make a break-through discovery on the offensive front. Source: N.C.

Wolfpack remain undefeated Cain’s hattrick contributes to 4-1 win over ODU. Rishav Dey Correspondent

It was a great day for the N.C. State faithful as they defeated Old Dominion University by a margin of 4-1 in hugely one-sided encounter and continued their undefeated spree for the season. ODU, fresh from a loss against East Carolina University by the same margin, had no answer to the Pack as the offense ran amok. It only took the Pack three minutes to find the net as freshman Stephanie Bronson scored her first ever goal in the Wolfpack colors. After some neat interplay, sophomore midfielder Ariela Schreibeis found some space and shot from the edge of the box, only for the keeper to deflect the effort, which Bronson promptly kneed into the net to put theWolfpack up early in the game. The Pack, brimming with confidence after the opener, created chance after chance. In the 16th minute, senior forward Tanya Cain, after making some beautiful touches on the ball and shrugging off the two defenders that were marking her, chose to shoot at the keeper only to see her ef-

fort blocked. The game stayed one-sided in N.C. State’s favor until the Pack created an opportunity that was reminiscent of the one seen in the game against Navy, as Cain was brought down in the box only for the referee to point directly to the spot. The Wolfpack soon doubled their lead as senior Alex Berger, who had also converted a spot kick in the previous match,

stepped up and slotted the ball coolly in the top right beyond the reach of the keeper, to double her tally for the season and her career. ODU, who had remained quiet until then, soon started with a volley of shots as the Wolfpack defense started looking shaky. The Lady Monarchs continued their onslaught as they closed the half on a high with eight shots and five on tar-

get, the Pack one and two fewer, respectively. The second half started brightly for the Monarchs as they took advantage of some sloppy defending. A complacent Wolfpack defense failed collectively as No. 12 Lisa Bernardini, in the 47th minute, went past the defenders to shoot the ball past the keeper to halve the lead and put pressure on the Pack defense.

Goalkeeper Kim Kern, who had kept a clean sheet in each of the previous games, was evidently disappointed on giving up the goal. “I am never happy to give up a goal,” Kern said. “It was a save that I should have made.” Despite coming under intense pressure, the Wolfpack managed to turn things around

Opener concludes in draw Missed opportunities lead to draw against Saint Francis. Nate Pedder Correspondent

The N.C. State men’s soccer team opened up its season with a draw against Saint Francis after two overtime periods at Dail Soccer Stadium on Friday night. Though the Wolfpack had many scoring opportunities throughout the game due to its clear advantage in time of possession, they failed to

convert any of these chances into goals. Coach Kelly Findley said that the Pack missed some breaks on offense, but he is confident that the goals will come. “Most stuff was a foot here or there and we score a goal,” Findley said. “I’m pleased with our process. We got a shutout, and I’m pleased with the way we’re playing and I know the goals will come.” Though the Pack accumulated 14 shots throughout the game, many shot opportunities were left on the pitch.Redshirt junior midfielder Nazmi Albadawi, the player with the
