OIS relies on quick responses to help international students. Pranay Deshpande Staff Writer

International students sometimes see most basic tasks as difficulties on arrival in the United States. Student organizations collaborate with the Office of International Services to function as a single unit in times of difficulties and try to help international students in every possible way, according to Thomas Greene, associate director of OIS. Green said he feels that an international student has to go through a “test of will” during application process and on arrival in the U.S. “Learning a new language, the application process and the visa process could be intimidating even if it goes well,” Greene said. Basic tasks, such as grocery shopping

and getting a phone, can be a problem for international students. Sangram Chavan, a graduate student in business administation and a member of MAITRI, Indian Graduate Student Association said it is difficult to do certain things without a Social Security Number. “On arrival, we walked to Food Lion but the rest of the things were pretty inaccessible. We didn’t have a cell phone and getting one without Social Security Number was a problem,” Chavan said. According to Greene, OIS gets huge number of questions every year. “Every effort is made to respond as soon as we can. We try to bring clarity where there might not be any,” Greene said. According to Chavan, after arrival it’s total chaos in the life of an international student. “Finding an apartment is a problem. Setting up bank account, progress energy connection and water connection without a Social Security Number are problems. Get-

According to Greene, international students are not different from any other American student on campus. “International students do have some extra needs but they are not special needs,” Greene said. Greene said he feels international students are not an anomaly or exception and they need to assimilate to the culture of N.C State quickly. “The University should start getting culturally adjusting to the reality that international students are not an exception to the rule,” Greene said. International students are a part of the community and they along with other top students contribute to the research needs of the university. Green said, “An international student is just as any other student and we need to acknowledge that they are not optional at N.C State.”

{OUR VIEW}

Local perspective for global students T

THE FACTS:

The Office of International Services provides international students with support and programs, from airport pickup to advising. Only one percent of all international students admitted to N.C. State are undergraduates.

OUR OPINION:

The Office of International Services should be provided with more office support, so international students will have a solid foundation when they come over and as they live in the United States. OIS should work with the international student associations to be more organized to deal with helping new students.

he chancellor expressed that he wanted to increase the number of international undergraduate students at N.C. State, since they only account for one percent of the entire international population at the University. This is a great endeavor and will help the campus population reflect a more global population. However, the ways international students are aided as they come into the country and assimilated into the campus need to be changed before the University can start accepting more international undergraduate students. International undergraduate students should be welcomed, but they should also be provided with ample services. They are new to the country and be-

ing independent, just like many American undergraduates. The Office of International Services is the primary contact for these students, however it is understaffed compared to the number of needs the international students have. There are only six University employees who work in the office. If the University starts accepting more international students, that puts more strain on OIS, despite its support base. This will further put international undergraduate students at risk. These student pay out of state tuition, thus bringing in more per student. As more international students are accepted, the revenue generated should

be put towards more office hands to help aid the students. Only with a solid foundation can these student successfully integrate with the University and the country, and help other students around them learn about their culture. There is a deadline to get into the country for international students to attend the orientation, however there are some students who miss this deadline and do not get into the country until after the session. This session is crucial for international undergraduate students to attend. This is the earliest way they can learn about American culture and learn their way in a new country,

many of which are away from their families for the first time. OIS should make sure these students who miss the deadline are not abandoned because of a bureaucratic deadline. These are not numbers, they are students. International students are extremely valuable on this campus. International students add an extra type of learning to the college experience. Being around these students educates the local students, and for international students being around local students, educates them. In order to ensure that more international students come to N.C. State, we need to properly accommodate the international students who are already in Raleigh.

Looking at both sides of gay marriage

or centuries, homosexuality has been an issue, but it did not come to a head until the 1960s during the ‚ÄúFree Love‚Äù movement. Homosexuality is becoming an even more prevalent issue nowadays. States are fighting for or against homosexuals to possess the right to be married legally. The reEmily cent Supreme Kelly Court ruling Staff Columnist on Proposition 8 in California held to the Conservative side of the argument by ruling against its legalization, however there are interesting and valid points to each side of the argument. On one side, marriage or civil unions by themselves should not be an establishment of the U.S. government. This issue is not something state or federal governments should have to be wasting their time on. Marriage should be a religious institution. Whether or not you agree with homosexuality is your business, but allow the religious institutions to decide for themselves. If there truly is a separation of church and state, the church should be left to determine whether or not they want to marry homosexual couples. If you do not agree with a particular church’s view, simply do not attend that church. The government has no right to impose a particular religion on someone else by forcing them to adhere to their moral definition of the law. If you really want to change someone else’s view to a Judeo-Christian moral standpoint, as many of its Conservative adversaries do, they should use the practices Jesus used to persuade his crowds: by presenting them with what he believes, then targeting their hearts and interests, not encouraging a rebellion against the Caesar to

amend the laws. He never demanded his own rights and was entirely peaceful in his approach while holding his own ground. Jesus says, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and give to God what is God’s,” in Mark 12:17. The other side is, the government has a say in marriage. They are going to interfere whether we like it or not. Based on this, allowing them to legalize gay marriage simply entices more immoral, Nanny-state laws. If you are arguing from a moral standpoint, one sin is not greater than the other. Two homosexuals committing an unnatural act are no greater than the government ruling against your beliefs and allowing them to do so. You could also argue that in nature, species are not able to reproduce w it h t he same sex. I am not a biologist, but from my understandi ng , t he purpose of mating rituals in animals is the continuation of the species. It is more the importance for humans, as they are able to interpret the deeper emotions felt in their act. It contradicts the purpose if the two are opposite genders of the species. While each argument is compelling, I leave it up to the reader to decide where they stand. While this issue should not be in the hands of the government, it is in the hands of their voters. It is in their best interest to examine both sides of the argument, while keeping in mind the consequences that may occur in the future.

“...there are interesting and valid points to each side of the argument.”

“Do you think N.C. State should increase its population of international students? Why or why not?” BY LEE DANIELLO

Round is beautiful

ne of the few national rankings in which our University consistently makes the top ten is the ugliest -- or least beautiful campuses -list. The 2009 Princeton Review ‘Least Beautiful Campus’ list had N.C. Zakk State at number ten, and White these rankSenior Staff ings were Columnist based on student perception of their own campus. While many students complain about the massive amounts of brick, there is one building that gets more hate than all the rest: Harrelson Hall. The massive amount of hate that this beautiful spaceship of knowledge gets is ridiculous. Harrelson, which used to be home to the math department, is rumored to have little time left before it is torn down, especially since the opening of SAS Hall last year. Most people I know regard Harrelson Hall as an ungodly eyesore that needs to be demolished as soon as possible. While I won’t criticize anyone’s aesthetic opinion, I would like to make the case that Harrelson is a unique and beautiful building and that we should be careful before we pass judgment on architecture that is slightly ‘outdated.’ Harrelson was built all the way back in 1961 and is the first

circular building ever built on a college campus. It has a square footage of 105,732 -- which not much smaller than SAS hall which has 123,152 square feet. The massive amounts of classes that are crammed into the building are not a negative but a positive feature. I have had a couple of classes there and for me, neither were very uncomfortable or hard to access -- granted wheelchair access is a negative of the building. The first day was a little confusing, but a f ter t hat the halls become easily navigable. I still enjoy seeing the building on my daily walks through campus and I sometimes resting under its wonderful shaded area. The shape recalls the Roman’s love of circular buildings and at the same time it resembles a spaceship. But the best part about it is that it breaks up the monotony of identical brick buildings that plague our campus. Harrelson and Poe Halls are the only buildings on main campus that are not made out of brick. I respect and admire Harrelson’s non-conformist, rebel nature. There have been rumors of Harrelson sinking into the ground and that it is more expensive to fix than tear down and build a new building. If

that is the case, of course I support its demolition. But if the push towards demolition is just motivated by architectural taste, I caution passing final judgment. We may not appreciate it now, but styles change and it could come back in terms of aesthetic reputation. This is what happened with Victorian architecture. Lots of students complain about the overabundance of br ic k s -- my s el f included -but strangely, the most hated building on campus is not brick: it is round. We should relish and enjoy a brickfree, unique and economical building on our campus. If Harrelson is demolished, the gaping hole that once was an engineering marvel will be filled with brick after monotonous brick.

Recognizing well-rounded students E

very fall, two representatives are chosen from applicants to represent N.C. State University as the “Leaders of the Pack.” Leaders of the Pack have to be well-rounded students who go through an application and interview process. The Leaders of the Pack, one male and one female are announced at the homecoming game, on Nov. 13 against Wake Forest University.

“Leaders of the Pack” recognized as well-rounded students. Homecoming kings and queens at N.C. State have to be Leaders of the Pack.

Brooke Wallig Staff Writer

Applications for the 2010 Leader of the Pack are due to CSLEPS by Oct. 1 at 5:00p.m. The leader of the pack contest is the University’s unique method of selecting its homecoming king and queen. This has been in effect since 2002. Unlike other universities, such as East Carolina University, which relies solely on a student body vote for candidates that represent specific student organizations, N.C. State’s selection process is comprehensive. According to the CSLEPS website, the process begins with the completion of an application, which includes the collection of basic information as well as three essays that focus on character, leadership, and community. After a selection panel reviews the initial applications, six male semi-finalists and six female semi-finalists are chosen. Each semifinalist is then allotted a 20 minute interview with a different committee, which then narrows the pool to three male finalists and three

female finalists. A traditional student body vote is then initiated on Nov. 8 to aid in the final decision. The final two Leaders of the Pack are selected based on the number of points they accumulated over the course of the entire selection process, and will be announced on Nov. 13 during halftime at the homecoming football game against Wake Forest University. Taylor Massey, a senior in material science and engineering and the 2009 male Leader of the Pack, said this distinct tradition is a way for the University to eliminate the view that this is simply a popularity contest. “I think our way of selecting a homecoming king and queen is far superior to the ways other universities do it. This process selects two very well rounded individuals whose experiences here at N.C. State have benefited both the University and the student body,” Massey said. “By not having just a student vote, we eliminate any form of a popularity contest and have the best possible student represent our University as the Leader of the Pack.” Massey isn’t the only one who favors this method over those of other universities. Courtney White, a freshman in middle grades education, said deciding

on the homecoming king and queen in this matter is refreshing since the selection focuses on multiple areas. “Coming from a high school where you simply put your picture on a poster and people chose someone from a list,” White said, “I think it’s great to be able to know that whoever you vote for actually has merit.” Along with commitment to the University and to other students, Massey said that Leaders of the Pack demonstrate a dedication to leadership and public service, and he encourages all students, especially those with such a passion for service, to apply. At the same time, Nicole Machado, a senior in apparel and textile management and the 2009 female Leader of the Pack, said she cautions students to handle their time wisely and avoid making the costly mistake of becoming involved in too many organizations and projects at once. “I think that students should work their way into organizations and the community. If you gradually add organizations and volunteer projects you won’t overwhelm yourself and you will be much happier and healthier.” said Machado. “Over doing yourself isn’t productive, especially in college, since students’ main goal is to

Fire Marshal Building Program aims to train The University Fire Marshals are enlisting the help of university housing staff and volunteers for safety assistance. Elise Heglar Staff Writer

A new program is being implemented to assist in fire safety on campus. Members of University Housing Staff are currently undergoing training to assist in the event of a fire related emergency. Resident advisors and resident directors are working closely with the University fire marshals to undergo the appropriate training. “Due to the large populations in some buildings on campus and the need for a rapid and safe evaluation, some assistance is needed,” David Michniuk, deputy fire marshal with the Office of the University Fire Marshal, said. Efficiency is the key idea behind this program. Housing Staff are trained to highlight the evacuation routes for the building, ensure that all personnel have exited the building, and position themselves as guides for people who are trying to exit the building. “It really aids us to be able to get straight to business when we arrive on the scene,” Michniuk said. Housing staff is also being trained to relay information to fire marshals. Things like the point of activation for a fire alarm and the actual cause of the fire would be assessed by the staff on the scene and relayed to the firemen when they arrive on site. “The idea of having immediate communication is very helpful to us. It really makes the process more efficient as a whole, which ends up creating a safer environment in the end,” Michniuk said. This program is meant to assist all patrons in University buildings with safety procedures in the event of a fire. With the assistance of housing

graduate with a degree.” However, Machado said she applauds those who apply and said that not only has being a Leader of the Pack been a remarkable experience, simply applying for candidacy is praiseworthy. “Relax and enjoy the process of running for Leader of the Pack. It’s a great feeling to be semi-finalist, finalist, and definitely Leader of the Pack; but just remember that you are awesome for just applying.”

SPECIAL ADVANCE SCREENING

staff, students can hopefully remain as safe as possible in the event of an emergency. “The RA’s should know what to do no matter what emergency is presented to them,” Rose Sophia Cuomo, a freshmen in the transition program, said. Cuomo said that she felt as though the resident advisors in her dorm were not fully prepared for a small fire that took place in her dorm earlier this year. “The RAs seemed really unprepared; they left the residents wandering around outside for about an hour after it was declared safe to go back into the building. There just wasn’t enough communication,” Cuomo said. The ultimate goal of the program is to have the entire housing staff trained. There have been training sessions during the summer orientation for Resident Advisors and Resident Directors and continues throughout the year with monthly safety meetings. These safety meetings are to go over procedures and make sure that all staff members stay informed. “It is extremely important for us to know what to do in the event of a true emergency. It’s how we keep our residents safe,” Derek Spicer, resident advisor for Central Campus, said. The procedure of what to do in the event of an emergency is very concise. Resident advisors and resident directors, in the event of a fire alarm, put on designated housing vests and immediately begin to direct patrons out of the building. The goal is to have everyone out in two minutes or less. They are then expected to wait for the fire marshal to arrive and signal for the appropriate time to re-enter the building, according to Spicer. “We know exactly what to do so that when the time comes, we can react without feeling panicked. We are able to do our job and keep the residents safe,” Spicer said.

Commentary

The second time around for fashion photos by marisa akers How to find great fashion at second hand stores. Staci Thornton Staff Writer

The great thing about fashion is that it repeats itself —wait a few years and ever y t h i ng comes back around. I remember wearing long sweaters and stirrup pants in middle school and now you can find the exact same t hing in stores today. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard my m om s a y she should have saved her clothes for her daughters to wear. Shopping at t hrif t stores can be a daunting process — a huge store f u l l of clothes t hat a re all shapes and sizes. I took a trip to the Junior Leag ue Bargain Box at Cameron Village and found that shopping can also help ot hers. A l l of the money raised goes direct ly to the Junior League and is used to fund women’s and children’s organizations. The Junior League is also hosting the annual Shopping Spree October 21-24. Not only are you finding great fashion at a super low price,

you are contributing to your community! The Bargain Box turned out to be a great place to piece together some rules for finding great fashion at a much lower price. First, if you are new to thrift store shopping, always go with a mission. If you are only looking for one item, you will find the whole experience a lot less overwhelming. A new fall trend is wearing a button-up work shirt with a fun, embellished skirt. If you have an idea in mind of what you want, you won’t have to search through every rack to find what you are looking for. Most thrift stores separate their items into types of garments, like shirts, pants, skirts, etc. The Bargain Box even had a special VIP section with higher-quality items at the same low prices. Secondly, always see the potential in items. If something doesn’t fit to your exact measurements, don’t write it off just yet. Most simple alterations cost bet ween $10$15 at a tailor and when you only pay $5 for a skirt, that’s st i l l a g reat deal. For shirts and sweaters that are too big, you can a lway s put on a wide belt and fold it together in the back so that you can still see your figure. A lso, simple things like changing the buttons on a shirt or jacket can change the garment considerably. Always keep your eyes open to things you can change to fit your style or need. Melissa Keeney, a sophomore in First Year College, said she likes shopping in thrift stores because she loves vintage clothing. “I like to find old styles

and cut them up and make them new. Thrift stores let me do this at a lower price,” Keeney said. You also shouldn’t be afraid to shop in the men’s section. A great summer style that is carrying into fall is menswear. A men’s button-up can turn into a great tunic to wear with leggings. I also found a great boy’s suit jacket that was a bit short in the sleeves, but I rolled them up once and it was a perfect ¾ length sleeve. Always be sure to try it on. Different stores have different sizing and when you are shopping somewhere with a large variety of clothing makers, you can never be sure what size you will be. All thrift stores have dressing

rooms for a reason — make sure to take full advantage of them. Like in all stores, something that looks horrible on the hanger might look great on you! Finally, don’t be afraid to try new things. This winter, people will be wearing ski-wear on and off the slopes. I saw about seven sweaters with reindeers and snow f la kes on them. While you may think, “this is not a trend I want to be a part of,” go ahead and try it on. You never know what it will look like when you take an outdated style and update it w it h a mini skirt and riding boots. Never be afraid to start a trend. “I don’t like to have things t h at ot he r people have, I like to create my own unique style, there’s only one of everything at a thrift store,” Keeney said. S hop pi ng at thrif t stores is a very different experience than going to the mall. Be prepared to stay for a while looking through racks, but in the end, you will be pleasantly surprised at what you find.

“I’ll be delivering to a student and another student yells over ‘Your cookies are awesome!’ One girl told me ‘It’s like Mom showing up at your door -without the lecture.’ People love the cookies.” It’s a sentiment shared by many students, including Andrew Nagler, a sophomore in biological sciences. “It’s an amazing idea,” Nagler said. “Cookies are way more delicious than pizza. I would order them again in a heartbeat.” Nagler’s friend Rachel Poe, a freshman in engineering, split the bill with him when he ordered the cookies and was just

I tried a piece of his brownie and it was delicious,” Poe said. “Then Andrew called me one day and wanted to order them, so we did. They were delicious, they weren’t very expensive and they were huge cookies.” Part of the success of Bite Me Cookies is the novelty of the idea. “It’s not every day you order cookies,” Poe said. “I have never in my life ordered cookies and had them delivered to me. You can do that. It’s a great idea and I wish I had thought of it.”

Rogacki said he hopes that his business will continue to grow. “I’d like to open up a retail location,” Rogacki said. “Word of mouth is still the best advertisement. I’ve had six or seven deliveries to Meredith already and we haven’t even done any marketing over there.”

MATTES

Triathletes start preparing early Triathlon club concerned with training, preparing for April Brent Kitchen Agromeck Sports Editor

When it comes to the world’s most athletic people, few can deny that triathletes are at the top of the list. Whether it’s running, biking or swimming, they do it all, and do it quickly. The Triathlon Club, founded in 1999, serves to help students train to compete in triathlons as well as facilitates their competition in events. According to club member and junior in aerospace engineering Zack Capets, the team’s primary goal during the school year is training because most triathlons occur during the summer. “The trickiest thing about triathlon is that it‘s really more of a summer sport than anything else,” said Capets. “So right as we’re getting back to school, the triathlon season is pretty much ending. The vast majority of people compete from April through October.” However, according to Capets, off-season training is imperative to success in races. “Right now we’re getting in our base training and that’s what’s going to happen through the rest of the winter,” Capets said. “We’ll have our longer workouts until January of February. And once February rolls around, it’s time to start thinking about racing season.”

The club has recently gained popularity among new students, which has raised the level of competition according to Capets. “The group has a lot more enthusiasm this year,” Capets said. “We have a lot of younger people that have a better background in the constituent sports of triathlon. We get a broad spectrum [of experience levels coming in,] but this year we’ve got an experienced crop. We’ve got people even with just a limited experience with triathlon that are much better than in year’s past.” The younger students are also helping the club to ensure its continuation into the future according to vice-president and graduate student in mechanical engineering Nicole Lewis. “We’re trying to get a lot more newer and younger members,“ Lewis said. “For the past few years it has been a lot of grad students and seniors so we were kind of afraid the club would die out.” The talent level and youth aren’t the only new features this year. The club plans to fund a trip to collegiate nationals in Tuscaloosa, Ala. according Lewis. “Within club sports, anything that puts a club sport on a national level, they make sure that we get there,” Lewis said. “Anything national related, [club sports] will try to make sure we get there, but that‘s still in the works.” While it only sent one member to collegiate na-

tionals last year, Lewis and her fellow triatheletes aim to send a group this year. “We‘re trying to send the whole team to collegiate nationals in April,” Lewis said. “It’s fun because it’s kind of an away trip, it’s not just in Wilmington or something like that.” The team is also competing in other events throughout the year including a race this weekend at Jordan Lake Triathlon in Durham. “The best part of triathlon club goes hand in hand with the races,” Lewis said. “Even though it is an individual sport, you still train together and support each other. The camaraderie of it all is the best part.” The Jordan Lake event is the last local race of the triathlon season according to Capets. “The biggest thing in triathlon is that you can train all you want, but competing is a lot of fun,” Capets said. “I feel like you have to go out there and compete.” The men’s triathlon will be held Saturday while the women’s triathlon will be held Sunday.

is stronger and that he can continue to get better from here.” Given his lineage, it should be no surprise to Wolfpack fans that Mattes started every game as a redshirt freshman until the ACL injury derailed his season. Ron Mattes, R.J.’s father, played offensive tackle for the University of Virginia and logged seven seasons in the NFL. The younger Mattes always knew he wanted to be a football player growing up. He realized he would follow in his father’s footsteps as an offensive lineman when he was declared too big to play pee wee football, but leaned on his father’s know-how to learn proper fundamentals. “I knew I was going to be an offensive lineman from seventh or eighth grade,” Mattes said. “With my dad being a coach, he was able to teach me technique and help me through things.” As the Pack’s next game against Virginia Tech approaches, Mattes can’t help but remember the hatred his father had for the Hokies while playing for UVA. “My dad, playing for UVA, he never liked the Hokies,” Mattes said. “I was a UVA fan growing up so obviously I rooted against them [Virginia Tech] a lot, but I don’t have a huge hatred for them anymore. I’m at NC State now so it’s not that big of a deal, but I still want to win.” After nine months of strenuous rehab, it looks as though Mattes is finally back to full strength, which is something the Wolfpack faithful will be looking forward to seeing when the Pack squares off against the Hokies on Saturday at 3:30 at CarterFinley Stadium.

FOOTBALL

Wilson spreading the wealth Irving, Wilson earn player of the week honors

STORY BY TYLER EVERETT | ILLUSTRATION BY IJEOMA ONUH

olfpack fans have long since become accustomed to seeing Russell Wilson fill highlight reels and stat sheets, as Wilson entered this season with 48 touchdown passes and only 12 interceptions. Through four games this season, it’s been more of the same. The redshirt junior has 11 touchdowns and has been intercepted only once in 142 passing attempts. He is tied for second in the nation with 11 touchdown passes and is 11th in the country in passing yards. But more impressive than what he has done this season is how he has done it. To say the least, Wilson has spread the wealth - to the extent that George Bryan, the top tight end in the ACC in 2009, is tied for fourth on his own team in receiving yards. For perspective on the way Wilson has kept defenses guessing, compare his passing distribution with Boise State’s Kellen Moore’s. Moore’s top two receivers, Austin Pettis and Titus Young, have accounted for six of eight of Moore’s touchdown passes. The graphics below compare how Wilson has managed to throw for 1,112 yards with the way two other elite quarterbacks have reached their current passing numbers. Stats for Tyrod Taylor of Virginia Tech, who the Pack welcomes to Carter-Finley Saturday at 3:30, and Kellen Moore, the quarterback leading No. 3 Boise State’s high-powered offense, are listed below.
