Pavel Zemliansky, director of Writing Across the Curriculum at the University of Central Florida, outlines specific strategies teachers can use to improve their students’ rhetoric Tuesday.

Games for learning

Discussion sponsored by University provokes thought about videogames in the classroom. Will Brooks Staff Writer

Videogames, rhetoric and teaching methods were among the main topics in a discussion Tuesday afternoon put on by the Campus Writing and Speaking Program. Peter Zemliansky, associate professor of the writing and rhetoric pro-

gram at the University of Central Florida, held a discussion specifically addressing the use of games to teach writing and rhetoric. Zemliansky is a strong supporter of this largely untapped source of teaching. “If you look at the way that computer software functions, including gaming software, it’s all based on procedure,” Zemliansky said, “There are rules and procedures that you follow.” Zemliansky explained that when looking at the rhetoric in videogames, it is important to differentiate

traditional rhetoric as opposed to procedural rhetoric. Traditional rhetoric describes the message conveyed from an author to their reader. Procedural, however, is a new concept. “[Procedural rhetoric] achieves persuasion by enacting social procedures,” Zemliansky said. Like many games, it turns players into participants, following through with certain procedures and facing the outcomes of those

Career fair: a good chance to network with professionals The Engineering Career Fair gives chance for students to network with potential employers. Sruthi Mohan Staff Writer

Every semester, the College of Engineering and the Engineer’s Council come together to develop an Engineering Career Fair, hoping to facilitate the meeting of employers of various companies with potential candidates that could become the future leaders of the nation. Especially in a time where talks of economic recession abound, this Engineering Career Fair continues to remain a stronghold that helps students bridge any gaps that might separate them from the career of their dreams. Brian Koehler, the director of inter-

national engagement in the College of Engineering, has been leading the organization of this career fair for the past couple of years. He said he is still in amazement at its growth and development. “It’s remarkable to think that way back in 2005 we thought it was huge, but now it has grown to be enormous and we only see it growing in the future,” Koehler said. Engineering students are strongly encouraged by many to attend the fair, starting with their E101 lecturers and continuing to every other College of Engineering faculty member. Whether students are in their first year or nearing graduation, there are a plethora of opportunities. There are opportunities available to students in any type of engineering program, as well as students who are not in engineering.

Full-time positions, part-time positions, and co-op opportunities are available from the various companies who attend the fair. According to the College of Engineering and the Engineer’s Council, the Engineering Fair is one of the largest career fairs held in the nation and has only been getting bigger every year since the first fair in 1998. It was originally held once a year and hosted 60 companies and 1,500 students. Now, it has become a massive operation that is hosted every semester for two days, and this fall semester it is estimated to be hosting 312 companies over the two day period. The first day had already seen about 2,500 students attend. “The huge success of the Engineering Career Fair at N.C. State demonstrates the impact our programs are

Fee breakdown:

continued from page 1

A fee subcommittee, headed by Senator Patrick Devore, worked for weeks to gather information for the Student Senate to give their opinions on an increase. Devore and his colleagues created bills to present to the Senate over the weeks. The Senate voted on those bills Monday night. Devore presented the Senate’s votes to the fee review committee before any debate or discussion began. However, the committee did not heed Student Senate opinions. Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Tom Stafford, who chaired the committee along with Harrelson, warned committee members that the Senate resolutions were “very much uninformed.” “The vote from the Student Senate does not represent a well-informed student vote,” Stafford said. Harrelson rebutted with the argument that it was not the fault of the Senate, or the fault of Devore’s subcommittee, but instead the fault of the review process. The short fee review time frame simply does not give Senators enough time to make good decisions, according to Harrelson. “The [Senate vote] might not have been the most informed, but was enlightened in some

way,” Harrelson said. Upon hearing Harrelson’s statement, Stafford concurred. He also said the “uninformed” vote does not poorly reflect on student leadership, but is in fact the fault of the process. The committee’s recommendation will now go to the chancellor for approval. He will then send his recommendation to the Board of Trustees, who will send theirs to the Board of Governors. Although the process is long and is nowhere near its end, Devore said the fee committee’s recommendation usually remains unchanged throughout remaining approvals.

choices. A prime example of procedural rhetoric comes from a game that Zemliansky discussed called “Peacemaker”. It is a game that gives players the choice to be a leader of Israel or Palestine. In the game, players are faced with real-life situations in which they must act to keep peace between states. Peacemaker — as well as other games – is being used in college classrooms such as Carnegie Mellon University, University of Nebraska Omaha, and the University of Texas. Professors from N.C. State are toying with the idea. “There is a lot of potential

having in preparing the engineering workforce of the 21st century for our state, region, nation, and world,” Dr. Jerome Lavelle, associate dean of academic affairs at the College of Engineering, said.

for games being used across all sorts of areas of the curriculum as long as they meet the learning goals and outcomes of the course,” Chris Anson, director of the campus writing and speaking program said. Anson, who is also a professor of English, explained that he has not yet implemented computer gaming in his classroom but has used various simulations. According to Zemliansky, gaming meets all of the goals of the Report on Writing in the 21st century by the National Council of Teachers of English. This innovative method of teaching seemed to receive mostly positive feedback during the discussion. “There are a number of departments that are already using gaming of various kinds,

like simulations, to help students be put into a context,” Zemilansky said. Nathan Hulsey is a doctoral student in communication, rhetoric and digital media. “I think that they have been overlooked for far too long,” Hulsey said. Hulsey explained that increasingly more people are turning to video games instead of reading and television. Using film has been an important tool for teachers and it may be possible for video games to play a similar role. As technology advances, it opens up many more possibilities. Zemliansk y described a course at Vanderbilt University where students analyzed video games based on movies and books. This English course allowed students to

locate differences of rhetoric between the three formats, providing clear insight to the students. Zemliansky explained that there are several ways to approach gaming theories, none of which can be established as correct. “I talked to a game designer once who said, it’s not a game unless you’re playing with other people,” Zemliansky said, “then there is another view that says it isn’t a game unless there is a goal.” As popularity increases, video game theory is something provoking thought among many people at N.C. State and around the world. Some professors at the University have already begun using video games, it is expected that others will follow.

$1,000; this serves as the primary means of funding for the Career Fair. “We are delighted to leverage the excellence of our college and the strength of our corporate partnerships to the benefit of stakeholders in this state,” Lavelle said. Traditionally, all of the colleges and more than 200 majors at N.C. State have been represented at the Engineering Career Fair. Koehler estimates that about 20 percent of those

who attend the Career Fair are not students of the University. “Opportunities for employment, information on experiential leaning assignments, and general career data gathering abound for students at all levels who attend,” Lavelle said. The current career fair ends today at 4 p.m. The spring semester Engineering Career Fair will be held Feb. 2, 2012. Koehler shared a few final thoughts of advice to students attending the fair.

“Differentiate yourself from the 1,100 students at State, 70,000 nationwide and half a million college graduates worldwide, whether it be in terms of attending the Engineering Career Fair, participating in undergraduate research programs, Study Abroad programs or anything else that will help set you apart,” Koehler said.

{Our view}

The Facts:

The 2010 annual report on crime in and around N.C. State reveals that N.C. State has lower reports of many different crimes in comparison to its neighbors.

Our Opinion:

Students and Campus Police should be commended for their efforts to reduce crime in and around campus. However, we should be wary of believing that these reports reflect reality. There is still crime that goes unreported and must be addressed in hopes of creating a safer campus.

Safe, but not secure

ampus Police are mandated each year to release an annual report on crime on campus and surrounding areas. This report is federally required for any institution receiving financial aid due to the Clery Act. The Clery Act was named in memory of Jeanne Clery, a 19-year-old freshman at Lehigh University, who was raped and murdered in her sleep in 1986. The annual report must outline the cases of murder, sex offenses, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, manslaughter, arson and arrests reported on campus. Also included are statistics for alcohol, drugs, and weapons violations. In 2010 there were no cases of murder, manslaughter, rape,

or arson reported. The most common crime reported was larceny (the theft of property without the use of violence or intimidation) with 386 cases. Alcohol violations were the second most crime reported with 44 cases receiving citations, 188 cases receiving campus judicial action, and 16 cases of arrests being made. Alcohol violations narrowly beat out drug violations, which came in third, with 32 cases receiving citations, 126 receiving campus judicial action, and seven cases of arrests being made. By comparison, N.C. State’s campus had less crime report-

ed than its surrounding areas. It had lower per capita reports of motor vehicle theft, rape, burglary and larceny than Raleigh, Chapel Hill, and Charlotte. These statistics should not be interpreted as the reality of crime at N.C. State. There is crime that goes unreported, the most notable being cases of rape. The National Institute of Justice reported in 2005 that during a five-year college career, one in five women will experience rape. This statistic is directly at odds with the eight cases of rape reported at N.C. State from the years 2007 to 2010. This statistic outlines

an obvious flaw in the system in which crimes are reported. The Campus Police and students should be commended for creating the positive environment for students to live and learn. Initiatives such as Wolf Alert, the Rape Aggression Defense Program (RAD), and the Safety Escort Service undoubtedly have a large impact on keeping our crime reports low. However, this is only a start to creating a safe campus. Moving forward, students and Campus Police need to enlighten others about the dangers of these unreported crimes. No criminal activity should go unreported, as to not report such an act is to tolerate such an act.

Presume innocence, don’t assume guilt

he legal presumption of innocence is a guaranteed right of the accused in America, but the general population tends to follow a different motto—the assumption of guilt. Throughout the cases of the past decade, particularly Anokhi Shah t hose overDeputy blown by the Viewpoint Editor media and the general public, the accused are often assumed offenders. Even when the indicted are acquitted, they face a world of doubt by the skeptics of justice. The American justice system is adversarial. In each case two arguments commence and the truth is decided based on the facts presented by both parties. If the justice system were inquisitorial, a system where the court takes part in the investigation, perhaps the skeptics would have a point. It seems as though the majority of American citizens refuse to accept acquittal even when juries and judges deem the accused not guilty. The polls and arguments, which arise when a popular person who was accused is acquitted, miss the point. Take one of the latest popularized criminal trials — the case of Casey Anthony. Anthony was accused of first-degree murder of her two-year-old daughter Caylee. Polls on news websites like CNN showed that the majority of readers believed that Anthony was guilty and should not have been acquitted. During Michael Jackson’s trial, news polls displayed the majority of readers’ beliefs that he was guilty as charged. Only after his death did this trend shift. The Amanda Knox case in Italy, recently resolved, concerned a similar controversy. Both sides of the polls argue whether they think the accused committed the act. Each of the sides fails to acknowledge that they are both critiquing the system of justice that has evolved for centuries and has continued to operate acceptably. Those who agree with the decision the jury or judge made only agree because they believe the individual didn’t commit

the crime. The news networks asked the public the wrong question during these trials. The real issue is whether readers believe that our system of justice generally yields an acceptable result. Students who haven’t been exposed to legal education can only recall the highly publicized, high-profile crimes that have popped up in the news over their lifetime. However, these cases are not indicative of the real world of criminal law. The truth is, facts are investigated with painstaking care in these highly publicized cases. The truth is more likely to emerge in these cases than your general, local murder trials concerning a less affluent no-name who shot another less aff luent no-name. In these cases, public defenders are sinking in case loads and don’t have the time to investigate every fact that could aid their defendant’s case. The trend I find is that ma ny people consider themselves better equipped to discern fact from fiction than the judge or jury selected for the trail. In reality, it would be a pity for these people — who judge before learning all the facts — to ever be on a jury. The presu mpt ion i n American law is innocent until proven guilty, and individuals on a jury take great care to maintain this standard. Some bias is unavoidable but determining a verdict based on media hype is unacceptable. American citizens, as potential jury members, should refrain from making decisions before they know the facts. They should have faith in our system of justice and recognize its unavoidable imperfections. But most importantly, they should avoid the assumption of guilt and preserve the presumption of innocence.

What crime do you worry about most in and around campus? by brett morris

Command Central! Central Michigan University vs. North Carolina State University.

Mark McLawhorn, editor-in-chief emeritus

Everyone should have to share the road

hen I took the test to get my driver’s permit over six years ago, I only missed one question. To this day, the question has stuck with me. The wording might have become a little fuzzy, but its meaning remains. “If a red car and a blue car reach an intersection at the exact same Chelsey time, who Francis has the right Staff Columnist of way? Assume that both cars are going straight, and that the blue car is to the right of the red car.” The correct answer was the pedestrian, an option mentioned only in the answers. The idea of pedestrian right of way has stuck with me, and is reinforced every time that I have driven on campus. For all that I have learned about dealing with pedestrians, bikers I have yet to figure out. When you get your license you are not taught how to deal with bikers. I know all about the whole “share the road” campaign, but it doesn’t mention the fact that some bikers seem to believe they own the road. I’ve only been driving on campus since August, but in that time frame, I’ve seen a lot of bikers do things I would not do. On Fridays, when I leave campus to get on U.S. 1 to go home, there is always the same gentleman on his bicycle. Instead of holding one place in

line, he chooses to believe that he is more important than those of us with 4,000 pound vehicles and swerves throughout the lanes. Actions from bicyclist such as this poses a great danger for myself and the biker, as I drive a pickup truck with a stopping distance that is longer than you would think. I n addition to this, there are drivers out there that are not a s considerate or patient as me. It does nothing but infuriate me to see this same bicyclist erratically cut cars off while driving all over the road, each and every Friday. I was raised to believe the “share the road” campaign meant bicyclists had the option to ride in the road as a car would, or over to one side where cars could safely pass them. I was never aware that it meant they could weave in and out of traffic and cross intersections when it isn’t legally their turn to cross. If I am ever on a bicycle, I will ride on the sidewalk and the grass before I will ride in the road. If I’m forced to ride in the road, I will remember that the vehicles around me weigh a minimum of two tons more than I do and I will stay to the

right side of the road so they can safely pass me. N.C. State is mainly a walking campus, but this doesn’t mean there isn’t an insane amount of vehicles and buses on campus. Bicyclists: please, please, for the safety of yourself and the sanity of those of us driving, remember that while you have the legal rights of a vehicle, that doesn’t g ive you t he right to weave in and out of traffic. NCSU Transportation has even published an amazing pamphlet about bicycling on campus. It’s definitely worth while to look over it before you hop on your bike the next time. Drivers, remember that not all bicyclists follow the rules of the road, and you have to be extra defensive when driving. Also, keep in mind that pedestrians always have the right of way, a fact one must be extra mindful of on Dan Allen Drive. Be safe, as cars hitting bicycles or pedestrians, and vice versa, never turns out well.

“It does nothing but infuriate me to see this bicyclist erratically cut cars off.”

Parkour reaches for new heights and goals Community bonds through creative movement. Eric Rizzo Staff Writer

A lan Tran was deep in thought as he stood in front of a brick ledge Tuesday afternoon. The senior in zoology contemplated his next move in calm meditation, then took a leap onto the ledge, propelling himself 10 feet into the air. That’s his idea of safe. To Tran, president of the Parkour Club, these acrobatics are a part of a weekly routine that may result in broken bones. But a surge in popularity in parkour—free running—has grown since the sport came from France to the U.S. And its impact is felt all over campus. According to Tran, the club isn’t all about training and performing stunts, but the sense of community that comes along with the membership. Ben Webster, who has since graduated but remains involved, started the Parkour Club five years ago. “I got into parkour trying to learn how to do an aerial,” Weber said. Webster taught himself everything he knows through watching videos on YouTube. Member participation has been the biggest growth in the last two years, growing from six members to 25, according to club member Ryan Walker, a senior in civil engineering and math. While most people see the sensational stunts parkour enthusiasts post on YouTube, they do not see the training that goes into practicing those moves safely. According to Tran, this is why people associate parkour

Two members of the Parkour Club, junior in fashion and textile management Nick McLamb and senior in zoology Alan Tran, ascend a wall outside the Free Expression Tunnel, Tuesday. The move involves running, planting a foot on the wall, grabbing the top and pulling yourself up. McLamb has been training parkour for three years and Tran has been training for six. The Parkour Club meets on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 6 p.m. in the Brickyard.

with a high risk of injury. Although the risk exists, by practicing safely parkour enthusiasts can move creatively without being reckless, Tran said. The Parkour Club does not do anything above ground level, and teaches participants how to do every movement safely. However, that is not to say that accidents cannot occur. If a student joins the Parkour Club, he or she must first sign a waiver, which releases N.C. State of liability for accidents if they occur. This form, according to Tran, was written by the club and revised by the Student Legal Office. “You partake in [parkour] individually, not through campus

There is also no club fee, but only the cost of food when they go out to dinner. This community is strong because members bond when teaching each other how to train in parkour. Walker’s favorite part of the club is teaching. “I take the most satisfaction watching someone do something I taught them,” Walker said. While you may see parkour as reckless and dangerous, with the right precautions, it can be done safely.

Hardcore fans hit the road Students enjoy taking Wolfpack pride out of ‘the Carter.’ Jeniece Jamison Senior Staff Writer

Students have long enjoyed their traditions, memories and Wolfpack pride at CarterFinley Stadium, but for some, one of the greatest joys lies in taking their Pack pride on the road. Matthew Otto, a junior in business administration and the secretary of the Student Wolfpack Club, and Andrew Ferguson, a senior in business administration, are no strangers to displaying their love for N.C. State football at their opponents’ stadiums. According to Otto, he has been to Virginia Tech, Clemson, Florida State and Wake Forest during his years as a student, but never to in-state rival Chapel Hill. He finds enjoyment in displaying the red and white with pride outside of Raleigh. “When I normally talk to people that haven’t gone to a

the defense is strong down the middle. They are going to make it hard for us to run the football,” O’Brien said. “It’s a really important game, if we can get back to .500 here, and go win the second half of the year, there are still a lot of good things that can happen to this football team.” Junior halfback James Washington, who leads the team in rushing with 300 yards, felt that as far as the offense was concerned, the loss to Cincinnati was a wake up call, and

game before away, I say that there’s something different about being able to go somewhere else and wear your school’s colors and really project your pride,” Otto said. “We all love being here and going to games at Carter-Finley because it’s a great time, but it’s also fun to check out some other places and also represent your school.” According to Otto, one of his favorite stadiums to visit lies in the home of the Hokies, Blacksburg, Va. “The best experience I’ve had was at Virginia Tech two years ago in the fall of 2009,” Otto said. “We lost, but they have the most hospitable fans, yet well represented. The stadium is nice, everyone is welcoming and obviously it’s very intimidating there because the crowd comes out and gets behind their team.” For Ferguson, his participation in away games has been a recent occurrence. “I went to my first away game my freshman year,” Ferguson said. “I went to Carolina for the away game. Last year is when I started getting into going to

the most that I could. I went to three out of the five. I went to Carolina, ECU and Clemson.” According to Ferguson, his spark to display Pack pride on the road came from his longstanding friendship with a member of the football team. “One of my friends from high school got recruited as the backup quarterback, Tyler Brosius,” Ferguson said. “We’ve been best friends since my eighth grade year of high school. I got the tickets for the ECU and Carolina games from him as a friends/family member ticket. That had a lot to do with why I wanted to go.” According to Ferguson, he finds it interesting to go to other schools and look at its fans’ traditions, some he believes are even worthy of being brought back to State to introduce to its fans. “We took two car loads down there, stayed overnight and tried to experience as much as we could of how Clemson did their pregame and their tailgating and stuff like that, and try to bring all of the things that we thought were unique and inventive back to N.C. State,”

Ferguson said. As far as which stadium holds the best fans, Ferguson believes its a tie between two schools in the Carolinas. “It would probably be a close tie between Clemson and ECU,” Ferguson said. “We got to hang out with the students from Clemson and see what they did. Their tailgating, corn holes, cooking out and doing the stuff the way they did is a lot different from the way we do it. The most fun about going to ECU was their fans and how they were.” For ECU, Ferguson enjoys the hostility that Greenville, N.C. presents. “They were definitely not afraid to [represent] ECU and that’s exciting for me,” Ferguson said. “I really like to go into a hostile environment and get pointed out for wearing my N.C. State Wolfpack Club shirt.”

that has been evident in the way the offense played against Georgia Tech. “We weren’t able to run the ball against Cincinnati so this week we just decided that we could take control on the line of scrimmage and push their defense,” Washington said. “We just did that and opened up running lanes and, for me, I think it’s more of a determination thing. We didn’t change anything; we just executed better.” Senior defensive tackle J.R. Sweezy, who is also one of the team captains and just returned to the team after being sidelined through injury, expressed his frustration at not

being able to play until last Saturday but admitted he was still deeply involved with the team. “Its really frustrating, but I had a job to do on the sideline, getting everybody to practice as hard as they could,” Sweezy said. “It wasn’t like it was time off, I was still working to get things done.” Sweezy felt that, despite the adverse situation with the injuries having taken a huge toll on the team, it was ultimately leading to the players getting more comfortable with each other and finally getting their act together. “There are a lot of young guys out there, a lot of guys who are not sure about what to do or

not do. You can see them each week, getting more confident, and you can see our team get more confident,” Sweezy said. “We are playing with enthusiasm, we are flying around and it’s all coming around.” Sweezy felt that it was wrong to write off the team despite the early debacle and that the team was still strong enough to bounce back and rise up in the standings. “Nothing’s over yet, you don’t know what’s going to happen,” Sweezy said. “We can still win the ACC Championship.”

The Pack fell after coming back from a 2-set deficit to tie the series at 2-2 but could not manage to push out a fifth set to take the match.

“The negative thing Saturday was that we had 10 penalties. Seven of them were pre- and post-snap penalties, and those are inexcusable.”

After witnessing a stellar 9-4 season last year, many members of the Wolfpack faithful were expecting a season where the team would finally be in a position to challenge for top honors as well as the ACC championship, and be ranked higher than the previous year. But it’s not meant to be. Having started the year full of uncertainty concerning the decision as to who would get the quarterback position,
