After a long night at the NCSU Housing shack, Carolyn Baxter, a sophomore in electrical engineering, sleeps into the early morning, Sept. 24, 2010. Many people slept outside in the Brickyard during Shack-a-thon week, due to a lack of space inside the shacks.

“10 percent of the money goes overseas,” McGugan said. “Last year we donated a lot to Haiti. The rest of the donations go to our services locally.” Monday through Friday, volunteers camped out day and night, making sure to squeeze in as many donations

as possible. Devising clever tactics to solicit passersby, each shack attempted to make most of the students’ generosity and good will. “The Caldwell Fellows shack has been using a number of different strategies,” Nate Zellmer, a senior in

Hillsborough Street Festival marks Fire Safety Month nears end reopening of historic thoroughfare With Hillsborough Street construction completed, the Live It Up festival commemorated the street’s reopening.

Working out of a small room in the Public Safety Center, six people are so passionate about their jobs that they view students as family. These people are the deputy fire marshals and the fire marshal of the University. The Office of the University Fire Marshal is charged with making the University as safe as possible for students, faculty and staff. “Everything about this job is personal to me,” Stevenson said. “I view all the students as my sons and daughters.” To keep the University safe, the Environmental Health and Safety Center has a wide variety of tasks, according to Fire Marshal Bill Stevenson. “Originally, we started out as a fire protection service 25 years or more ago,” Stevenson said. “It started as a group of people doing inspections around campus.” The fire and life safety view of the job of the University fire marshal and deputy fire marshals has evolved over

One of the main arteries of campus, Hillsborough Street spent many years as a tarnished mark on the campus aesthetic. But not anymore. With the construction complete, a group of non-profit organizations cooperated with the city and the University to celebrate the “reopening” of the street. On Saturday, local businesses, bands, and student organizations participated in the Live It Up on Hillsborough Street Festival to showcase the potential of the renovated street and the surrounding community. Beginning at noon, the event spread from the Wachovia bank all the way to the Chancellor’s house. On each end of the street were large stages for local bands to perform and in the middle of the festival, by Caldwell Hall was a big screen LED television for the masses to watch the victorious football game. Along the street, local vendors offered samples of their goods and student organizations manned booths to extend membership and community service. Notable additions to the festival were multiple hot dog and chicken wing-eating contests, a barbeque buffet provided by several fraternities and sororities and an Iron Chef competition with tasting and judging. The festival was the brainchild of the Legacy Event Planners, a nonprofit organization begun by N.C. State students and alumni. According to Christy Brackett, a sophomore in communications, the idea of Live It Up first came from the Hillsborough Renaissance event they organized last year. “The event didn’t flop, but it was in beginning of March and it rained,” Brackett, the organization’s program director of event planning, said. “We wanted to learn from our mistakes and make an event that was bigger

Their job went from just room inspections to including tasks such as public education and reviewing plans for buildings on campus. “What we do is no different from the Raleigh Fire Department,” Stevenson said. “If you put everything that the Raleigh Fire Department does on a shelf, the only thing you take down that we don’t do is fire suppression.” But, the Environmental Health and Safety Center does put out small fires,

Jeff Murison, executive director of the Hillsborough Street Community Service Corporation, quickly partnered with the Legacy Event Planners to develop the festival. “I started the job in mid-May and shortly thereafter, I started pulling together the participants and partners to create the vision for the event,” Murison said.

commitment to developing the street. “There is still a lot more to be done,” Chapman said as he received his award. The event drew support from the student body, with a multitude of students volunteering and working behind the scenes at different activities. The N.C. State marching band and cheerleading squad participated in the event, and the involvement of the student body demonstrated the University’s pride for Hillsborough Street. “Hillsborough Street is part of campus more or less,” Brackett said. “We don’t want N.C. State students going to Franklin Street in Chapel Hill on Halloween. We want their students coming to Hillsborough Street!” The event served as a boost for the street’s businesses that suffered during the construction. “While the construction was an obstruction to normal track and pedestrian use, it was well worth it,” Murison said. “I can see the very visible changes in traffic behavior by pedestrians and shoppers, and since construction we’ve added four new businesses.” The vitality of Hillsborough Street is in the direct interest of both the city and the University.

campus, Hillsborough Street carries a heavy significance to college life and economic stability. “Universities are important economic engines in a community and they play a significant part in the cultural life in a community. People want to live around universities and N.C. State is a leader in that regard,” Murison said. Another attraction was the appeal of discounts and free giveaways. Restaurants offered lower price specials and gave out samples of their goods. “I had a constant lunch throughout the afternoon,” said Kyle Jones said, a sophomore in nutrition and winner of the Wing Zone eating contest. “The competition was fun. They served their ‘nuclear hot’ wings and I had to eat 10 of them as quickly as possible. My face still is on fire. I was definitely focusing on the free T-shirt and gift certificate.” Along with a food, local microbreweries partnered to hold the Raleigh beer garden, which allowed people above 21 to enjoy local beer and the buzzing ambience of the festival. Performers such as the University’s Fusion hip-hop dance team attracted large crowds of fans and supporters. “We’re honored to be able to partake in the event,” Michael Cherry, team director and senior in textile engineering, said. “We did freestyle for a little bit, then we went into some routines.

If it’s too hot, stay out of the kitchen S

The Facts:

September is Fire Safety Month at N.C. State. Twenty-three fire or fire alarm incidents have been reported on the police blotter for September.

Our Opinion:

Students who live on campus and choose to cook in the residence halls need to be careful and conscience of other students in the hall. Cooking in a large residence hall can turn dangerous for hundreds of residents.

eptember is fire safety month, however N.C. State’s fire safety record has been very poor. According to the police blotter, the University has had 23 fire or fire alarm entries since Sept. 1. This is almost one incident a day. The most common issues are from cooking or maintenance. Although maintenance issues happen, because there is always risk of dust or smoke, students in residence halls should not be cooking if they cause smoke. Students are lucky to be provided with kitchen areas while living on campus. They can cook whatever they want whenever they want, but they also must remember they are responsible for the equipment as well. Smoke can damage the

stoves and lounge areas, which will make them unusable to other residents and cause extra trouble for maintenance staff. Residents who are cooking should always be aware while they’re cooking because are putting themselves in a minor risk. They should be conscience of the other students in the building. Some halls are small, like Welch with 58 residents, or large, like Bragaw with 768 residents, however it doesn’t take away from the fact there are other students living there. It only takes one mistake to put others at risk, because residents never know what else may have been dropped around

the kitchen area. Students living in tall or long buildings are at a greater risk, because there are more students and there is a farther distance to travel to get out. Not just people are in danger. Their property is vulnerable as well. A resident can only carry so much when they have to rush out and climb down stairs. With hundreds of people living in one hall, there are hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property. Not only will personal property be damaged, the building will as well. A fire could be minor or major, but it can ultimately effect who can live there. Residents could be

displaced because of dramatic fire damage. Many residents have to sign a form saying they are familiar with fire safety and rules. Residents should never disregard reading these rules or forget them. The main rule to always adhere to is evacuating the building when a fire alarm goes off, whether or not it is a drill. Cooking safety is simple. Never leave food unattended and never use water to put out grease fires. Residents should always be conscience when they are cooking and remember there are others who live with them. Despite having learned about fire safety before coming to college, Campus Fire Safety Month is a great time to refresh your memory so all campus residents and users can be safe.

October is Sustainability Month

s the fall semester begins to heat up, the University is recommending students should drop their load; energy load, that is. Energy Management, in conjunction with the Office of Sustainability, is gearing up for its latest push to raise student Chris awareness reCioffi garding their Guest Columnist energy usage in residence halls all around campus. By organizing friendly competitions between dormitories, residents will compete to see who is the biggest saver. Running from Oct. 1 through Nov. 29, the competition will challenge residents to reduce the energy demand across campus by five percent. N.C. State spends over $20 million on energy annually and a five percent reduction will save the University more than $1 million. Almost every dorm on campus will be participating in the competition. Syme, Welch, Gold, Lee, Sullivan, Owen, Tucker, Bagwell, Becton, Berry, Metcalf, Carroll, Bowen a nd Wolf Village have all acc e pte d t he challenge. Each building will directly compete against neighboring halls, as well as halls across the campus. The prize has yet to be determined, but will be chosen based on input from students in the coming months. Since many of the dorms on campus come in different shapes and sizes, usage will be measured by dividing the number of students residing in the halls by the hall’s square footage. To level the playing field, dorms with similar dimensions will compete in the neighboring hall portion of the competition. For example, Lee and Sullivan will compete against each other. Updates will be sent to each residence hall. On Wednesday, Oct. 20, or-

ganizations all around campus will come together to celebrate Campus Sustainability Day. Energy Management will be hosting an “energy rush,” which will involve volunteers from a variety of campus organizations coming together and visiting participating residence halls. These volunteers will engage residents and pass out cool freebies, such as stickers, door hangers, magnets and elevator wraps. They will also be armed with useful information on how to save energy. However, there is no reason to wait until Oct. 20 to start saving energy. Since the contest starts on Oct. 1, there are some simple things that can be done right now to start saving energy without buying anything. One of the easiest habits to get into is unplugging appliances and electronics when not in use. Cell phone chargers, video game consoles, laptop chargers and televisions all consume power when they are turned off. Almost 14 percent of a residential home’s energy bill can be attributed to this “phantom load.” Making sure the lights are turned off when leaving the room is another extremely easy way to reduce energy consumption. It is a common thing to forget, but getting into a routine of doing it every time can translate directly into energy savings. Keeping windows closed is one more way to save energy. When windows in residence halls are left open, the HVAC system is forced to work harder to keep the temperature consistent. So get ready to drop your energy load in the next few months. Pull the plug, hit the switch and do one thing to save energy. One small thing leads to a big impact that can change your State!

“To level the playing field, dorms with similar dimensions will compete in the neighboring hall,”

We are the Wolfpack

his year’s football season has been a dream come true. This is my last year here at N.C. State and if someone had told me when I was freshman I would ever see our football team be 4-0 during my time here, I wou ld have been skeptical. Don’t get me wrong, I bleed red Chad through and Rhoades through Senior Staff a nd w i l l Columnist always support the Wolfpack, but I just did not think that our season would ever start this well. It is such a nice feeling to see our team perform well. We already have a lot to be proud of, but I feel like the early success of this year’s season means much more to the University as a whole than just a team that can win. Since I have been at N.C. State, there have been some issues here that are less than reputable. Former Chancellor Dr. James Oblinger resigned due to the hiring and compensation of Mary Easley, the wife of former Governor Mike Easley who himself is under investigation for corruption. Former

Athletic Director Lee Fowler was far from being acceptable in the minds of many people, and held his position for much longer than he should have been allowed. His lackluster attitude was ref lected in our athletic department. Last year, many people were disgruntled with our student government because they did not feel like their voices were being heard. It appeared to be irrelevant what the students wanted, and it was proven by the Talley renovation votes. However, I feel like we are already on our way to ma k i ng progress. Many people a re pleased with our new chancellor, Dr. Randy Woodson. He has an outstanding record of service in academia, and will hopefully continue to do great things for the University, even with the current economic status of the country. Debbie Yow, our new athletic director, has shown to be a great administrator in the past, but also appears to be very passionate about what she does. I believe she offers Athletics what it has needed for some time now. We are on the road to bigger and better things. I have felt passionate about N.C.

morale here it better than when I first came. The start of this football season fits in perfectly to the changes that have occurred recently. We should all be proud to be members of this great university and where it is going. We are moving in the right direction as a university and great things are going to come. We are the Wolfpack. It is more than just a mascot, it is a mentality. There is a quote by Rudyard Kipling that is used a lot around here: “For t he strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.” I feel this statement is true. Individually we can accomplish great things, but together we can accomplish things that we never thought possible.

Sitting on a ledge outside of Thompson Theatre, Jacob Dakar, a freshman in plant biology, takes a picture of two bikes laying on the ground. “I love going back into the dark room and seeing what I took a picture of,” Dakar said. “It’s really rewarding to see if it turns out clear.”

Story and photos By Luis Zapata

tudents came out to the Craft Center Saturday morning to participate in the second annual Pinhole Camera event. A pinhole camera is a container that has gold paper with a pinhole in it, where the light goes through the pinhole onto a film sheet. The film sheet acts like a negative in a typical film camera. The shot takes the form of the shape of the container. During the event, Thursday and Friday afternoon were devoted to people coming to the Center to build their cameras. The participants were asked to bring in any type of container to be used as a camera. All shapes and sizes were brought in — from a recycled tissue box, to a spam can, to a pumpkin. Saturday, students were taught how their cameras work and how to use the dark room. The winner of the challenge will win $100.

In the darkroom, Lana Layton, a senior in communication media, develops her photo of a park bench for the pinhole camera event. Layton’s bench photo made the top 10 photos and is eligible to win $100. “I was curious how you can turn a tin can into a camera,” Layton said.

Outside the dark room in the Craft Center, Austin Dix, a freshman in chemical engineering, looks over his and other students’ photos taken with their pinhole cameras. “Before I came down to State my friend made a rock with the school logo,” Dix said, “and I figured it would be a cool centerpiece and to show school spirit.”

SHACK

continued from page 1

The WKNC “Radio Shack” offered live music and entertainment to draw contributions. Other shacks relied on more rudimentary ways to collect donations. Jared Stier, a freshman in nuclear engineering, said begging was the key to success. “My fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon, has been sending people around the Brickyard begging for donations,” Stier said. “We had one guy on a razor scooter just begging people for money. One girl would not give him money, so he got down on one knee and pleaded for it. The more pathetic, the better.” Donations are not restricted to the confines of the Brick-

yard. A recent addition to Habitat’s approach has been an online donation opportunity, located on the club’s website. Contributors can select which organization to make donations to. “It’s great for faculty, families, people in the community and just people that aren’t in the Brickyard to donate to the cause,” Erin Morris, Student Government’s co-commissioner of community outreach, said. The online donating system worked with the online payment giant, Pay-Pal. Despite advancements in technology, panhandling is still panhandling. “We’re getting lots of change,” Mija Nichols, a fundraising officer for Habitat for Humanity, said. “But the counting process has been good. We’re going through a lot of rolls of change, but the shacks all have to count

up their own amount. I collect and double-check at the end of the day.” Wednesday proved to be one of the most profitable days of the week. “I think the farmer’s market drew a lot of people out to donate, especially non-students,” Nichols said. The main aspect of getting student organizations to participate in Shack-a-thon is to create a little bit of competition to vie for the most donations. The four clubs that raise the most money earn a guaranteed spot in the event the next year, and Habitat provides all the wood and materials for their shacks. The rest of the organizations must bid for spots and provide their own wood. Although the event focuses on fundraising for Habitat for Humanity, clubs benefit indirectly. Shack-a-thon is an

opportunity for student organizations to publicize their missions and expand their membership. “We trying to do a combination of things,” Erin Morris, co-commissioner of student government’s community outreach, said. “We want to educate people about homelessness in the local area, raise money for Habitat for Humanity and also try to get Student Government out there.” Student Government used their time in the Brickyard as an opportunity to connect with the student body and to encourage students to actively participate in student affairs. “We are always looking for ways to engage students in service and to find out what they are really passionate about,” Morris said. Student Government offered various activities to entice donations, such as root beer pong, cornhole and opportunities to pie Student Body President Kelly Hook in the face. “It was a dollar a pie,” Morris said. “She was a real champ! She was out here getting pied [for] about two hours Wednesday.” Shack-a-thon attracted students and staff from all over campus to participate for a common cause. Shack veteran Nate Zellmer participated in the event for the fourth time this year, but the fundraiser drew in many freshmen to participate. “I had no clue what exactly Shack-a-thon was about before I signed up,” said Toni Campbell, a First Year College student and class senator. “Once I figured out it was for a great cause, I felt like it was something I really needed to get involved in. No regrets! If I haven’t

Stier spent upward to 40 hours at his fraternity’s shack, saying it was a great way to socialize and pass the time. Habitat for Humanity did not manage to meet its $15,000 goal within the week of Shacka-thon. However, McGugan

said there will be online fundraising going on throughout the week after Shack-a-thon. The biggest donor cannot be announced until the end of the collection of funds on Friday. “Many [shacks] are within less than $100 of each other,” McGugan said. “With a full week of fundraising still available, anything can happen.”

went either way,” Lassiter said. “It’s pretty frustrating watching missed chances, easy chances, giving up easy goals that we shouldn’t give up. I don’t think we need to change anything, we just need to put away our chances.” One of the Wolfpack’s best scoring opportunities came off the foot of junior forward Craig Sutherland when he raced down the right wing and fired a shot just wide of the post with 1:25 remaining in the game. The Edinburgh, Scotland native led his team with five shots on the night as he tried to convert his first regular season goal of year. “We’ve been working hard on our finishing,” Sutherland said. “I felt like we were the better team overall, but sometimes the result doesn’t reflect that. I think we just need to capitalize

on our finishing.” For long time head coach George Tarantini, not recording a win in his team’s first three ACC matches for the fourth consecutive season is an obvious disappointment. However, he said he still fully believes in his squad as it moves onto play Appalachian State (32-2) Tuesday night to close out the three-game home stand. “I believe in this team,” Tarantini said. “We need to get ready for the next game and we need to score. We’ll work tomorrow again, watch the film, and do everything we can. It’s a long season to go, and it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.” After the Wolfpack faces off against the Mountaineers, State will visit Chesnut Hill, Mass. for an ACC battle against the Boston College Eagles. The next home game from Dail Soccer Stadium will be when Georgia Southern visits Raleigh on Tuesday, October 5th.

“We just executed our assignments, and the coach told us that everyone was not going to be able to be a star,” Irving said. “This had to be a team defensive effort, and we tried to perform every play as the coach called it to us.” State is now 4-0 overall, and 1-0 in conference play and will look to continue its success when it returns to Carter-Finley Stadium to take on Virginia Tech, which is 2-2 after dropping its first two games to No. 3 Boise State and FCS foe James Madison.

to win in Raleigh for the first time since 2006. After scoring five times in a Wednesday night drubbing of Presbyterian, all State could manage was a 50 yard free kick goal from senior defender Tyler Lassiter in the 33rd minute. His third marker of the season slid through the hands of keeper Kyle Renfro’s hands and into the right corner of the net to give the Pack the advantage. That lead turned out to be short lived as just two minutes later, Virginia Tech’s Clarke Bentley calmly powered a penalty kick into the upper lefthand corner of the net

over Will Mackvick’s outstretched reach. After arriving at halftime knotted up at 1-1, the Hokies used a close range goal from Greg Cochrane in the 63rd minute, giving them a lead they never relinquished.

Christy said the athletics department typically schedules the weekend for games the Pack plays against teams expected to bring fewer visitors, but was forced to schedule the weekend for the VT game because home games on Labor Day weekend and over fall break would not be conducive to Parents Day. Christy also said the athletics department is considering setting up additional bleachers for students on the south concourse. No final decision has been made regarding this possibility.
