Students provide insight on Republican primary Students discuss their opinions on the current republican primaries. Lindsey Rosenbaum Correspondent
A larger-than-usual surplus of young voters participated in the 2008 election, many of which helped elect president Obama. Some graduate and undergraduate students believe that student turnout will be lower in the upcoming election, including the Republican primary. Francesca Verceles-Zara, sophomore in biology, said she has been paying attention to the primaries. “I read the Onion online and Comedy Central has funny stuff about it,” Verceles-Zara said. Comedy programs such as the Daily Show and Colbert Report have stirred conversation among young voters, creating what students like VercelesZara can use as entertainment with information. It seems that Verceles-Zara may be the minority in showing interest in the primaries. Amie Bero, sophomore in civil engineering, admits that she only keeps up with politics by listening to the opinions of other students. Tory Weaver, graduate student and teaching assistant in public and international affairs said that she expects a low voter turnout in the upcoming election, especially among young voters.
“I am realistic in my belief that November 2012 will show a lower turnout for younger voters than in 2008,” Weaver said. Weaver said that, although younger voters were important to the last election, the 2012 election has not resonated as well with younger voters. Though this may be true, younger voters still are highly opinionated in the Republican Party. “They’re very polarized,” Maggie Hull, graduate student in physiology said, “You have Ron Paul who is very libertarian, and you have Mitt Romney and other people like that who want a larger federal government, So you have two polar opposites in the same party, which is kind of strange.” The popularity of Ron Paul has increased in the primary, putting him as the runner up for many polls and bringing comedians such as John Stewart to point out the media’s lack of coverage towards his campaign. “[Ron Paul’s] advisors are doing him a disservice by allowing him to appear disheveled and frumpy,” Weaver said. “Anyone has the right to run for president if you’re a citizen,” said Hull. “If they do want to run, and they do want to genuinely want to do something with that office, and I agree with their views, than I’ll vote for them.” Stephen Colbert, Comedy Central’s satirical news host, has shown interest in the past at joining the race for presidency, yet this is the first year he has actively attempted to get nominated.

Within the past two weeks, he has transferred over control of his Super PAC to colleague Jon Stewart of The Daily Show, and has gone down to his home state of South Carolina to begin campaigning. Weaver contends that these sensationalized tactics could be strengthening the GOP status. “My students tend to know such sensational candidates while they often have a harder time naming the more ‘political’ candidates.” And while she asserts the involvement of celebrities in the primaries could be upping the ‘cool’ factor of the GOP, not everyone agrees. “Right now I feel like the Republicans are sort of like a joke,” VercelesZara said. Hull said that she believes Republicans have been taken less seriously as well. “I’ve found that many of the candidates don’t seem to be committed to representing the people, but more furthering their own personal agenda, which seems to, in my opinion, cheapen our political system.” While many students express their opinions on the election, time will tell whether they turn out or not. “I need to register first!” Bero said. Verceles-Zara says she will, adding that she will probably become more politically involved closer to the elections. As of now, Verceles-Zera is unsure of who she will be voting for and said that she is keeping her mind open for change.

Raleigh ranks as healthiest city for women Women’s Health Magazine recognized Raleigh as a role model for health, but not diet and exercise. Nikki Stoudt, Staff Writer
In a country practically choked by fast food restaurants, big screen TVs and comfy couches, not many towns can boast being “healthy.” However, a recent panel of researchers from Women’s Health Magazine has named Raleigh the healthiest U.S. city for women. Determination of rank was based on more than 30 different health categories, including the average amount of time spent exercising, frequency of medical checkups, and life expectancy rates. Lilly Catis of Ladies Fitness and Wellness, the only full-service women’s health center in Raleigh, believes that the high ranking was rightly deserved. “There’s a certain sense of urgency nowadays that makes women feel a great responsibility for their own bodies,” Catis said. “Raleigh is a place that fosters a sense of community, which makes it easier to seek help if someone should need it.” A significant number of Catis’ clients are middle-aged and often come to her looking for ways to rebuild their bodies. “Most come to us with concerns about lowering the risk of serious diseases such as diabetes, osteoporosis and various types of cancer,” Catis said.
campout continued from page 1
Women’s Health Magazine is not the only one to take notice of Raleigh’s success in research and disease prevention. Both the American Cancer Society and the Centers for Disease Control applaud the female population of Raleigh for the steps taken to catch diseases early and prevent them altogether. Aliesha Hendrix, the American Cancer Society’s Community Manager, said Raleigh health professionals work to screen cancer early and often in women. “Almost 90 percent have faultless screening scheduling,” Hendrix said. “Life expectancy is very high, and women are clearly preemptive in taking defensive measures.” Raleigh scored high in all categories pertaining to inner health, but the study found that Raleigh’s female population is still behind in the areas of diet and exercise. According to Danielle Souder, a sophomore in industrial design, Raleigh is taking steps towards a more active future. Souder rides her bike nearly everywhere she goes and finds that most stores, restaurants and other establishments are very accommodating. “There are so many benefits that come from riding your bike,” Souder said. “In addition to getting to class quickly and being environmentally conscious, I am now fitting in a daily exercise routine, which is something I never thought I would have time for.” Lilly Catis said changes are
being made in the Triangle and can be seen on every corner. “It’s so exciting to see the developments in the community,” Catis said. “Everything from a pedestrian friendly downtown area to more walking trails. However, the members of the fitness community don’t feel that it’s enough.” N.C. State has gotten the ball rolling by adding new health proposals that include promoting both physical activity and eating right. “Last year as a freshman,” Souder said, “I got really frustrated that whole grains and fresh fruit weren’t popular or even really an option in the dining halls.” This year, she feels a little differently. Souder has noticed that all dining facilities on campus have made their menus more health conscious. She added that new and exciting programs at Carmichael Recreation Center have drawn she and her friends into a new realm of exercise. “We really take advantage of the facility now, and it’s really important for women to have opportunities like we do in the Rec Center,” Souder said. “I’m extremely proud we’ve been recognized for our efforts in becoming healthy,” Lilly Catis said. “I hope that we become a role model for the rest of the south, but Raleigh has a very long way to go before we are truly ‘healthy.’”
Technician was there. You can be too.
With him was Scott Paiement, sophomore in mathematics.
“Camping out for basketball tickets is awesome,” Paiement said. “This is what college life is like. We’re living the dream.” Though standing in the rain is some students’ example of “living the dream,” others prefer to watch the game on TV,
which they can do on February 1 at 8 p.m. For those students who did stay up all night for tickets, the game will be in the RBC Center. State will play at UNC Jan. 26 before playing the Heels on Tuesday in late February.

Be cautious of what credibility is still recovering you accept as fact, it very well from the Paterno incident with could be a miscommunication.
The unsigned editorial is the opinion of the members of Technician’s editorial board, excluding the news department, and is the responsibility of the editor-in-chief.
ithin nine minutes of Paterno’s alleged death, it was publicized all over Twitter and other media outlets, including CBS Sports. They announced the death of ex-Penn State coach late Saturday evening, when he actually died 9 a.m. Sunday. The premature announcement was based on an unverified student website report. This incident exposes the flaws of social media and should be used as a learning experience for all social media users. Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and other outlets provide a wide variety of services to its users: networking, event planning, social and professional interests, and news updates. However, the issue with this
new technology is anyone can create and publish information. Because of this CBS Sports—one of the most credible sources in sporting news— jumped the gun on Paterno’s death, and later had to issue an apology to the Paterno family. This accessibility to news with a single click is the reason this type of technology is so popular; however, users should be wary of what they accept as news on these sites. The Paterno incident demonstrates this by the amount of comments and feedback Twitter users provided on his death. Penn State students even

14 weeks left: 52 things to do
F
acing graduation, I’ve started to look around c a mpus. I’ve beg u n to look at all the things I’ve wanted to do while at State but haven’t. I’m not talking about anything deep or e x i s t e n tial here. I’m talking about t hings li ke Josh Lucas painting the Free ExpresDeputy Viewpoint Editor sion Tunnel or taking a beekeeping class. Student Government has put together a list of 52 things to do before graduating. The list isn’t perfect, there are some activities I have no interest in, like the Polar Plunge. But from time to time I’ll go through and try to knock off what is listed. This week, I crossed camping out for basketball tickets off my list. I hate to admit it, but I’ve only been to one N.C . State basketball game while in col lege. I think my poor attend a nc e ha s something to do with the lack of tailgating. Whatever the case may be, when some friends told me about Campout, I jumped at the opportunity. I wasn’t really doing it for a ticket—come to think of it, I don’t even know if I got a ticket. I did it because I knew it was my last chance to experience a tradition of State. If you’ve never been to one, Campout is a straightforward event. If you camp out for the entire night around Reynolds Coliseum, you’ll get a ticket to the UNC game. In the morning your sleep deprivation is supposed to be mitigated by the pride you feel for taking part; however, my morning was a bit different. In the morning I realized how far removed I am from my freshman year. To make a gross and unsubstantiated generalization here, most of the people at Campout were underclassmen. I don’t mean to be condescending; it’s truly a blessing the event attracts underclassmen. I could not imagine the event if its base were seniors. If my friends and I were a decent sample, the tone of the event would be entirely different.
This column is the third in a series paying tribute to my final semester at N.C. State.

What are the problems with social media, if you believe that there are any?
THE COUNTDOWN
My friends and I spent the start of the night cursing the cold, the rain and each other, but when we began to look around and were astonished at what we saw. People were running around tossing a football or Frisbee, taking group pictures, and starting WOLF— PACK chants at four in the morning. Everyone there had a smile on their face. I felt a little like the Grinch looking down on Whoville during Christmas, with a major difference: I loved what I saw. I fondly remember what it was like to be on that freshman-year level, that mindset in which getting up at five for ticket distributions was a necessity, when the game was bigger than the tailgate, when N.C. State Athletics was the glue holding your group together. As the n ig ht c a rr ied on, I began to embrace the whole atmosphere. For once this year I didn’t feel like a degenerate for wearing sweats out of the house. I didn’t feel gluttonous for eating eight slices of pizza —thanks, Valentine Commons. Minus the sirens blaring to wake everyone up every two hours, I have few complaints. It was a great to revisit freshman year. There’s a certain magic to those first years that we lose as time goes on. We move offcampus, our friends move off too and we find ourselves only going to campus for class. We stop participating in ridiculous events like Campout. However, these events are part of what college is all about. They’re events that bind us together in a way not found on Fayetteville Street or in class. Events like these bring us together as a community. If you’re also feeling a distance from where you were freshman to where you are now, try crossing something off Student Government’s 52 things to do list. It’s a great list of all the fun college has to offer that we often lose sight of.

Learning to love where you live
I
have a confession to make. I haven’t always been head over heels in love with Raleigh. I know what you are thinking: How could I not li ke Raleigh and still go to school at N.C. State? To m e , NC SU i s like its own Kaitlyn city within Casulli Raleigh. I Columnist never really looked at the University as Raleigh. I now appreciate many of the things I disliked when I first started living here in the summer of 2010, but I will admit, it has taken a year to truly define Raleigh as my home. I grew up in eastern North Carolina, in a relatively small town called Wilson, so coming to live in Raleigh was a slight culture shock. I had been to visit many times before for different events, but living in Raleigh and visiting Raleigh are two different things. Wilson didn’t have very many attractions or things to do, but it is a place I learned to love because of the people who were a part of my daily life. My first year here, I found people to be always in a rush. They never took the time to get to know you as a person. In Wilson, I couldn’t go to the grocery store without running into
someone I knew. In Raleigh I could shop around Crabtree and never see a familiar face. One day I started thinking about why I disliked Raleigh so much. I made a mental list of all the things that turned me off from Raleigh’s underlying beauty. I knew I would get used to these turn-offs eventually, like rush-hour traffic and things being so geographically spread out. However, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t figure out what it was about Raleigh that bothered me so much. I don’t think I would have ever figured it out had I not worked in Raleigh over the summer. I got a job doing research for the Department of Food, Bioprocessing and Nutrition Sciences, and it helped to display my current love for Raleigh. My time here over the summer gave me a chance to get out and explore all Raleigh had to offer. I spent the majority of my time on N.C. State’s campus, but t here were a couple of days I decided to go out and drive around town. It opened up a new side of Raleigh I had never seen before, but I still wasn’t totally convinced it was home for me. No matter how hard I tried to say Raleigh was my home, my heart was still in Wilson. Somewhere through the
summer my perspective totally changed. I started to realize even though it felt like I was the only person amid the hustle-and-bustle Raleigh life, there truly were others who were living and working in Raleigh—and they liked it. The more I thought about it, the more I started to realize the people around me were more important than any landmark or big fancy mall. It seems obvious, right? All the people I had a chance to work with over the summer live in Raleigh, or at least close enough to get to work every day. I don’t know why I didn’t realize it before, but that is what makes Raleigh feel like my home. As I said before, part of the reason I love Wilson is not for the lack of attractions; it is because I was a part of a caring community who, for the most part, loved Wilson as well. I have learned loving Raleigh is not about embracing grocery stores large enough to get lost in, and it is not about loving the people who can’t drive in traffic circles. Learning to love where you live takes learning to love those who live around you.

“Overall, social media is good for communication but has a tendency to start rumors. One example is last night Joe Paterno was claimed dead over Twitter before he actually had passed. I believe major news companies do a good job at conveying the truth.” Chrissy Bacak sophmore, biology
“I believe a lot of social media is based on sex, and promotes discrimination and violence regularly. You cannot even watch a YouTube video without seeing hate comments, and tons of arguments. Big news companies like to be very biased on their stories, rarely reporting the whole truth.” James Age freshman, visual arts
“People are really gullible. They will believe almost anything the social media says, and it’s not always a good thing. News companies really favor violent, criminal-like news rather than reporting all the good events that are happening in the world.” Hayley Kirschner freshman, biochemistry

Dean elected president of international organization The IPBS elected N.C. State dean as the new organization head; hoping he can continue progress. Josephine Yurcaba Life & Style Editor
Ira R. Weiss, dean of N.C. State’s Poole College of Management, was elected president of the International Partnership of Business Schools during a meeting held in Madrid, Spain this fall. “The IPBS is dedicated to the development of a lifelong cross-cultural international community of business and management ... by sharing and increasing [the community’s] professional knowledge, skills and understanding through international exchange programs,” Weiss said. “The IPBS engages students in an international experience through full cultural immersion and business immersion,” Weiss said. “The program promotes globalization through a business curriculum and offers duel degrees at the student’s home institution and at the partner institution.” Weiss said he became involved in the IPBS when he
was the dean of Northeastern University’s College of Business Administration. “Northeastern was the first U.S. institution to be a part of the IPBS, and I wanted NCSU to engage as well,” Weiss said. The IPBS allows students to spend a minimum of one and a half years abroad. Students can go abroad and take business courses in the language of the partner institute or their home language, and then they can spend a semester doing an internship in that country. According to Weiss, traveling to Spain for this meeting was nothing new. “The meetings are always rotating around to the different schools that are a part of the IPBS,” Weiss said. Though on this occasion, Weiss was elected president of the entire international program. Every two years the board of directors elects a president of the organization, and Weiss is the longest standing dean on the board, with 10 years as the dean at Northeastern University and 7 years at N.C. State. “I have a good understanding of the evolution of this consortium, and I am extremely supportive [of its endeavors],” Weiss said.
Behind the scenes of the International partnership of Business schools Quick facts: The IPBS is a consortium of leading business schools located in Boston, Mass.; Dublin, Ireland; Lancaster U.K.; Madrid, Spain; Reims, France; Reutlingen, Germany; Piacenza, Italy; Puebla, Mexico and Raleigh, according to the IPBS‚ according to its website. The IPBS is dedicated to the development of a lifelong cross-cultural international community of business and management...by sharing and increasing professional knowledge, skills and understanding through international exchange programmes. Source: IPBS website
Now Weiss will be responsible for setting the organization’s agenda when it meets three times per year, enhancing the offer of an international experience by bringing in more partner universities, and strengthening the core of the organization’s curriculum. Weiss said this will have a significant impact on State students in a few ways. “We will have 50 or more international students with us at NCSU [from the IPBS program],” Weiss said. “Even if our students do not go abroad, they will be sitting next to students from all over the world.” This diversity in the classroom will “allow students to develop a global perspective,”
according to Weiss. Weiss, originally from New York, is now making a global impact at N.C. State. “[I came to State] because the opportunity arose here to take a young college focused on innovation and technology, and bring it into full maturity,” Weiss said. “The opportunity [at N.C. State] felt comfortable and challenging, and it has been.” Opportunities will only continue to grow for business students seeking a globalized education. But if two years abroad seems frightening, students can still be engaged by interacting with international visitors at N.C. State.

The mystique of a cigar attracts students Some take their tobacco differently, not always for the nicotine, but for a dose of sophistication. Crystal M. Stroman Senior Staff Writer
Cigars have been associated historically with the rich and powerful. But since the discovery of tobacco, cigar smoking has become more widespread. Cigars have become a staple item for many different people, including college students. Cigar enthusiasts have created a culture around the smoking and collecting of cigars. In the past, cigar smoking was seen as a hobby for the head honchos of a society. Now, people from many different backgrounds and social classes smoke them. Mike Abbot, an employee of Tinderbox Cigar, said the so-
cial significance of cigars has changed over time. “It’s changed since cigars were first available,” Abbot said. “It used to be a status thing, the larger cigar, the more status you had and the more money you had available to spend. Now, it’s a lot more of a social thing for people to be around other people smoking cigars and to enjoy the camaraderie of smoking together.” For Kyle Jones, a junior in food science, the aura of the cigar draws him to smoke on occasion. “Sometimes they’re good, but usually I smoke them for the prestige,” Jones said. “It has an aura of supremacy associated with it. I feel like the most interesting man in the world when I smoke one. But, I don’t smoke often, only every other month or so, when the occasion calls for it.” Dave Mellin, owner of Amra’s Lounge and Cigar Bar in
downtown Raleigh, said he sometimes has students come in and smoke cigars for fun. “I see students come in here and there, and I see a lot of post graduates come in to smoke,” Mellin said. There are many different flavors and variations of cigars. The two main types are handmade and machine-rolled. The higher quality cigars are usually wrapped by hand, according to Abbot. Cigars undergo a process of aging and fermentation, which affects the flavor and texture of the cigars. The origin of the cigar also affects its flavor and composition. Cigars are abundantly made in countries like Nicaragua, Honduras, Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Brazil. The location and type of production affects the quality and taste of the cigar. However, the definition a good cigar is dependent on the preference of the person smoking it.

The Tuscan cigar has the characteristic form of ‘blunt’ and is distinct known for a rich and smooth flavor.

Avia Seawell, intern with Inter-Faith Food Shuttle’s Cullinary Job Training, cooks meat in the IFFS kitchen on Friday, January 12 2012. Seawell graduated from IFFS’s Culinary Job Training program - an “eleven-week hands-on program taught by professional chefs.”
Zartman, a former teacher, also said the shuttle operates a program called Cooking Matters, where teenagers, children and families are taught how to shop and cook and eat healthfully on a low budget. Volunteers for this program assist with preparation and operation of the classes, although qualified volunteers –chefs or nutritionists – also teach the courses. The shuttle also operates a program called Backpack Buddies, which helps provide students with food when school systems cannot. “There are kids who receive free or reduced price lunch in school, and some of them are going home Friday afternoon to a house with little or no food. I can’t imagine eating nothing over the weekend,” Zartman said. “We send home with some of these kids – over 1,200 a week – backpacks, generic backpacks so there is no stigma attached to taking one home, with six kid friendly single serve meals. They use it over the weekend, they return the backpacks on Monday, and we send them out again at the end of the school week for the whole school year.” This spirit of giving has caught on in the community, and the Rev. Diane Faires, associate minister of St. Paul’s Christian Church, leads a youth group who routinely incorporates volunteering with organizations like the Food Shuttle into their own programs.

State fan and group member, volunteering with the food shuttle allowed him to put himself in the shoes of a foodinsecure family. “I like that we’re helping others,” Brady said. “If I were needy, I’d like it if someone helped me.” Zartman said this is the biggest motivating factor for volunteers. “It looks great on your resume when you’ve done volunteering for any amount of time. You’re also giving back to the community – that’s the biggest thing,” Zartman said. “Most of the people who come here are
doing it because they feel like they have been privileged and want to be able to help other people get out of the rut they might be in.” But according to Zartman, there is still a lot of work to do. “I’m sure we’ll keep expanding. We have to keep expanding. There are more people becoming hungry every day. It’s a real problem,” Zartman said. “In 2010, we rescued 6.5 million pounds of food.

Pack beats Eagles, loses to Terps State splits pair against nationally-ranked teams. Rishav Dey Deputy Sports Editor
In a mixed weekend for the Pack, the men’s wrestling team on the road defeated American University 25-18 while losing to the University of Maryland 27-12. Starting as underdogs against American (4-5), who were ranked No. 9 in the nation heading into the matchup, the Pack (45) won six out of the 10 bouts, two of them by pin falls, to register one of the most historic victories in the program’s history.

Olsen was particularly impressed with Miller’s performance. “Ashley [Miller] was great tonight, in double and singles,” Olsen said. “I thought she was very sharp and a great competitor. She really executed well, played with a lot of energy and pump on the court. “I was completely impressed with her today.” Despite his team dropping just two matches during the day, Olsen paid due respect to his opponents and felt his team could have done better to avoid the losses. “I think Winthrop’s a good
team and I give them credit,” Olsen said. “I thought their doubles team played well. “I thought Tatti-Elisha [Tatiana Illova and Elisha Hande] came out a little bit tentative and it took them 4-5 games to play more aggressive. They just needed to start with a little more energy.” N.C. State travels to Tennessee on Friday to play Tulsa. Olsen felt it would be a great experience. “It’s great to play matches,” Olsen said. “I think we are looking forward to a good week of preparation, some good intensity and really sharpening up some things on the doubles court. “There’s a lot to build off of today. I am looking forward to it.”

Pack drops fourth conference game to Tar Heels After going on threegame tear, women drop home match up with UNC.
Gymnastics wins in Chicago No. 18 N.C. State came away victorious in its first road test of the season, hanging a 194.200 on Illinois-Chicago. Senior Brooke Barr won on vault and floor, and submitted a runner-up performance on beam as State clinched a win in its first road contest of the season. Barr’s highlight came with a 9.875 floor routine to top the rest of the field by a full tenth of a point. Barr tied Diahanna Ham with a 9.85 vault to put two Pack gymnasts on the top of the podium. A 9.8 on beam capped Barr’s evening, good to tie Stephanie Ouellette for second, and trailing only Jess Panza’s first place 9.85.

N.C. State’s three-game winning streak was ended by in-state rival Carolina in a 60-50 contest Sunday afternoon. The Pack shot a season low 27.8 percent from the field and just 33.3 percent from the free throw line in the loss. “We are obviously disappointed that we are not walking out of here with a win today,” coach Kellie Harper said. “Unfortunately, when you play in the ACC, you need to shoot better than 27 percent to win, and UNC did what they needed to do to put points on the board and execute like they needed to.” The Wolfpack kicked off the game with a firm grip on the steering wheel. Sophomore center Kody Burke drained an unexpected three from the left corner, giving the Pack a 9-3 lead early in the first half. State maintained its early advantage until UNC forward Laura Broomfield gave the Heels their first lead, 15-14. The first half continued to be a power struggle for both teams with each squad having an Achilles’ heel. The Pack only shot 28.2 percent from the field and the Tar Heels committed 14 turnovers in the half. State also out-rebounded UNC by a 13 to five margin on the offensive glass. Burke fin-
ished the game with 10 points and went 4-of-15 from the field. “When your shot is not going in, you tend to lose confidence,” Burke said. “I was getting my shot blocked a lot, and that definitely shifted my focus. I just need to get my head up high and keep going.” After two consecutive threes from Carolina, State sophomore guard Myisha GoodwinColeman responded with one of her own from the Kay Yow Court decal to put the Pack up 26-24 late in the half. Another layup from Bromfield tied the game with 19.6 seconds left in the half, knotting the score at 28-28 going into the locker room. “We just didn’t execute our game plan very well,” Harper said. “We took way too many threes in the first half.” The beginning of the second half continued to be a power struggle for both sides. The Pack regained its lead off of a fast break layup from junior guard Marissa Kastanek, but State would be plagued with a cold spell from that point on. The Wolfpack only hit three field goals in the last 10 minutes, which allowed the Heels to mount their comeback. “Sometimes that is just how the game goes,” Kastanek said. “Like coach Kellie said in the locker room, when you miss a shot, you are not going to make every shot you take. Our job is to find opportunities for the people who are making them and get them the ball more often, and we did not do that very well tonight. “ A three from Carolina guard Candace Wood have the Heels a seven-point lead, 48-41.
