On-campus students displeased with meal plans Some on-campus students are unhappy with their required meal plans. Anna Riley Staff Writer
While many universities require first-year students to live and eat on campus, N.C. State does not. N.C. State does, however, mandate that first-year students who reside on campus pay for a University dining meal plan. According to University Dining, there are various meal plan options to fit the needs of different students. All meal plan equivalency purchases are tax-exempt, which means students save 7.75 percent on them.

Last Friday and Saturday, WKNC celebrated their ninth annual Double Barrel Benefit. Double Barrel Benefit is WKNC’s annual fundraiser providing two music-filled nights from local North Carolina-based bands. Each night featured four local bands. Along with the Double Barrel Benefit for showcasing local bands, a day party and market were also held on Saturday afternoon at Tir Na Nog Irish Pub. Welcome to all ages, the market and day party were free for the public. The music at Tir Na Nog included sets by Baobab, Driftwood, Patrick Phelan (of Luego), Jeff Crawford, Juan Huevos and Magnolia Collective. The benefit has been a main source of WKNC’s funding, allowing the radio station to supply the surrounding area with commercial free music, local news, and sports. The last benefit show was held at Kings Barcade. “I heard there were a lot of people last year,” Isabella Vigilante, a junior in arts applications and a DJ for 88.1, said. “Looks like a good turnout this time too.” WKNC had an emphasis on all things local through the weekend. The events not only featured local music artists, but also local visual and craft artists, prior to the benefit show. The market was held at Tir Na Nog, featuring art, clothing, and jewelry from local charities, businesses and artists. During the first night of Double Barrel, local bands, The Future Kings of Nowhere, Birds and Arrows, Organos and MAKE, took the stage at the Pour House. Attendees ranged from N.C. State students to Triangle locals coming out to see their favorite bands or checking out some new ones. Most of them were there to enjoy good music, beer and to support WKNC. “[88.1] is pretty much the only radio station we listen to around here,” Nick Overmire, a lab tech for Labcorp, said. “My girlfriend actually won tickets from them.” Within an hour of the doors opening, the Pour House was packed with people listening to the bands and scanning over the merchandise table. Both the bands and WKNC had things for sale, ranging from beer koozies to T-shirts. The radio station also offered a compilation album featuring all of the bands that played Double Barrel 9. Proceeds went to support 88.1, keeping the radio station getting good and often times local music to the masses. “WKNC, more than any other radio station, is focused on local music,” Maria Albani, lead vocals and multi-instrumentalist from Organos, said, “it was weird going into it knowing the different styles, weird but I liked it. More shows should be like this.” Many attendees would agree, as the multi-genre show appealed to most listeners. Many people were exposed to music they didn’t normally hear, a common theme of 88.1. Throughout the night, people showed their support regardless of their musical tastes. “I really liked it,” Sagan Lampe, a senior in economics and rhetoric, said after seeing MAKE perform, “I’ve been to metal shows before and the environment with this one actually felt comfortable.” On Saturday night, performances continued after the festival and

was almost looking forward to. “I’m here to support one of my friends who’s been running the Krispy Kreme Challenge for several years now,” Paro said, “I’m excited to see my friend run and sweat his butt off, then eat a dozen donuts like an animal, and hopefully run away without losing it.” Chris Miller, Paro’s friend in the race, is also an N.C. State graduate who has been running for several years. “He’s very good and to date, he has not lost his stuff,” Paro said. When the race began at 8:30 a.m. “losing it” didn’t seem to be on anyone’s mind. Runners stormed through the streets, grabbed their box of one dozen original glazed donuts, and headed to the water stands to stuff themselves and run the rest of the race. Among the runners were mainly N.C. State students, but also a noticeably diverse crowd. From mothers running with strollers, to older couples strolling hand in hand, and even a group of students from other UNC system schools, the Krispy Kreme Challenge seemed to break all traditional loyalties and unite the community in giving back. Emma Barber, a sophomore in chemica l engineering, stopped at 9 a.m. to begin eating her donuts. Emma, who ran her third Krispy Kreme Challenge Saturday, says she’s giving

{Our view}
Brickyard preachers and students stir up loathing The Facts:
Nearly every day, preachers are seen in the Brickyard, delivering their sermons to the college crowd.
Our Opinion:
Many students find the sermons offensive and respond in a less than appropriate way, while the preachers respond with the same intensity. This should be changed.
O
n any given day you can pass through the Brickyard and hear sermons being given to any and all students who walk by—whether they want to hear them or not. These Brickyard preachers come onto campus, supposedly with a permit, and preach their religious and moral beliefs. While freedom of speech is their constitutional right, the moral messages behind their rants could be brought into question. Their sermons all have common themes of gay marriage, students’ convictions to their lust, conventional gender roles and Christian values. While it is their right to believe and preach these values, they do not have the right to impose them on others. Students can be seen listening and sometimes even

agreeing with these particular values. However, the way they are presented is not effective. Preaching acceptance of others and God’s judgment can be considered contradicted when you also tell students they’re going to hell because of who they love. Those might be their beliefs, but they are not everyone’s. Contrary to what these preachers might believe, these are not the Biblical times of Sodom and Gomorrah. The preachers are delivering their sermons on a 21st-century college campus, and they need to understand this. In this day and age, there is no need for such harsh words toward your fellow man or woman.
Last week, one preacher could be seen yelling at a woman that her brother was going to hell because he was a homosexual. According to his religious views, this might be true, but his religion also gives God the power to decide, not any human being. Perhaps they should understand that judging your fellow man is not what their religion is about. This being said, students also are to blame for such high animosity toward the various Brickyard preachers. Students can often be seen antagonizing these preachers. One even went so far as to dress like the Pope and counter every argument the preacher posed. This type of behavior is only
making the problem worse, fueling the preachers’ desire to stand their ground and defend their religious beliefs. This is not to say every preacher presents themselves in this manner. A few of their number preach on compassion and recognizing God as a merciful figure, but in a way students find intriguing rather than threatening. Both parties, students and preachers, must understand the significance of allowing others to exercise their First Amendment rights without persecution. By doing this, we can rid our campus of the stigma surrounding the Brickyard preachers and what they believe in, and come to recognize how developing understanding and getting along with others can have an impact at our school.

The stress of living
P
eople always tell us college is the best time of our lives. But most of the time, it doesn’t feel that way. College has its perks, but it is also a time of unavoidable stress. We’re looking to find ourselves, to balance practicality, selfgratification and to simply survive. Anokhi Shah O n o n e hand, we are Staff Columnist finally independent. We get to decide when we go to bed at night, whether we attend class every day or once a month, and what we eat. There is hardly anyone looking over our shoulder—save that one overzealous resident adviser. We have control over every aspect of our lives in college, but this independence comes at a price. Before college, there were never so many worries, never so many neurotic tendencies to develop. Suddenly, we must worry not only about school and grades, but f inances, friends, physical and mental heath, roommates, housing and so on. College may be a transition period, but it sure seems to stress us out. Before we go to college, most of us are wholly dependent on someone else. True, many of us get cars and have the ability to go where we please, but we don’t really go anywhere. We stay in our comfort zone and rarely, if ever, venture out of it until college. This is a major cause of stress when we first arrive on campus. Thus college is stressful, unless students take advantage of their new responsibilities and better their lives, therefore lessening their stresses. It is inevitable to feel stress about personal finances. Many students like myself have the luxury of their parents taking care of their undergraduate educational expenses. Some students even have their parents agreeing to take care of graduate or professional school expenses. However, even if the financial burden is not on the individual, he or she can still feel stress. Stress and guilt often go hand in hand and it is definitely valid to feel stress vicariously, or even just stress at the burden placed on people we care about. However, there are ways to lessen this financial burden
and its associated guilt. First of all, whether one is paying for college or letting their parents finance their education, everyone should get a job. A savings account should come with this job, as well as learning to budget expenses. A job is nothing without proper organization. College is undoubtedly competitive, with wellknown weed-out classes and the constant competition of GPA, class rank and test scores. A good rule to live by is one can only control themselves. Instead of stressing out about other people, just focus on yourself. You can control your own performance but you have no control over others’, so you can eliminate that source of stress. The last source of stress is simply independence and the worries that come with it, besides financial and educational concerns. Independence involves planning the minute details of your life which are good indicators of your performance and well-being. This means what you eat every day, how much you sleep, how you manage your time and what risky behaviors you engage in. The simple rule is to do what you can while still feeling good. If you get four hours of sleep a night, exercise once a week and eat and drink a little more than you should, but still feel as though you’re functioning at your optimal level, by all means continue what you are doing. It is quite possible that your body will not be able to keep up with your lessthan-healthy routine later in life but for now it may appear to be working. If it is not working, change it. Experiment with new sleep schedules, diets, exercise routines and consuming less alcohol. Figure out what your personal balance is. There are ways to ease into this transitional period and better prepare oneself for the real world. By taking advantage of the freedom and independence to create a more carefree atmosphere, college really can become the very best time of your life.

What is your favorite food to eat during the super bowl and why? by Jade Loring

Learning how to learn
“W
hen am I ever going to use this?” We have all heard (and possibly even said) this in class at one time or another. In my high school math classes, t h i s wa s a constantly repeated phrase. We spend countKaitlyn less hou rs each year Casulli Staff Columnist learning comple x e qu ations and ways to manipulate numbers—stuff only rocket scientists ever use, right? Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if we knew why we were learning these things. I recently had a chance to talk to one of my professors about teaching and learning. Why do teachers teach the way they do? Why do we learn what we learn? It seems as though students are fed a continuous stream of information, only to regurgitate it on a test to demonstrate their knowledge. In thinking about our discussion, I have concluded education is like a big fish net, cast into the sea with hopes of catching massive numbers of fish. Classes are likewise designed to target large schools of fish—in this case, students. This is exemplified by the lecture hall in Dabney with the nosebleed section, requiring students to bring binoculars
to see the chalkboard. The educational superiors cast the biggest net possible by creating a curriculum that supposedly can reach the most students. Reaching as many students as possible can be a good thing and it can be a bad thing. On one hand, it is good, as it allows institutions to offer fewer sections of a course, which means fewer faculty members need to be hired. This correlates to lower tuition, thus more Cook Out funds for starving college students. On the other hand, targeting a larger audience means the material has much more breadth than depth to it. Concepts are generalized and only skimmed over lightly in class, so more material can be covered in a shorter time. This creates problems, particularly in a university setting. In such an environment, students generally develop an idea of what material pertains to their major, and they tend to not want to learn something if they feel they will have no use for it. I will admit, I am guilty of this mindset. I can’t even tell you how many times I have caught myself while sitting in my organic chemistry class wondering when I will ever need to know how to make 1,3-butadiene. I’m a food scientist, so I’m pretty sure I won’t need to synthesize rubber any time soon. I would probably still be in this mindset, but one of my organic chemistry professors has

changed my perspective on how I was learning the material for that class—and all of my classes for that matter. He is one of the few professors who doesn’t believe in cramming material the night before and regurgitating it on the paper the next day. Instead, he stressed the importance of the learning process. He knew that in 10 years—or maybe even the next semester—we would never remember any of the reactions he taught and why they were important, unless we had to use them for a job. We would, however, remember how we had to put the concepts together to analyze and create new knowledge from the tools we were given in class. You may know this as the highest level of Bloom’s Taxonomy. From that class, I took away this lesson: knowing how to learn information is a concept that will prove to be more useful than the material we are learning in class. The process of synthesizing information and knowing how to use the tools our professors put in our toolboxes is something which can be applied to any level of any discipline. The next time you find yourself frustrated in class wondering why you are learning something, hang in there. Just learn how to learn.

The life of a college student is stressful, and with the added pressures of finding a career and possible mate, college students tend to become addicted to various things like video games, coffee, exercising and the ever popular Facebook to ease the stress. These addictions can be lightweight or they can run along the edge of dangerous. Most students use their addiction as outlets for stress relief or just as a way to get in some extra procrastination. Erinn Wofford-Allen, senior in applied psychology, said her addiction is reality television. “I usually watch reality TV shows to relieve stress and distract me from school work,” Wofford-Allen said. “It is fun to watch reality to take a break from work, but I usually end up watching too much and
procrastinating on work and studying.” Marcus Pollard, a senior in communication, said he is addicted to video games. “I play video games to relax and de-stress. They give me a chance to focus on something other and school and work, while having fun.” Many students also have social networking based addictions like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and the recently popular Pinterest. Lee Salter, a counselor at the Student Health Center, said students could exhibit these behaviors as an outlet to distract them from course work. “Overuse of behaviors like exercise or video gaming may be a way students avoid facing the anxiety that comes with producing academic works that need to be done” “Behaviors like this are good stress relievers in moderation,” Salter said. He also mentioned that these addictive behaviors could end up causing additional stress if they are taken out of hand. The causes of these addictions vary on a case-by-case

basis. “Obsessive behaviors are psychological, and you can’t say that about all college students,” Salter said. It is important to be sure that your addiction does not cross the line and become dangerous. Salter warned that there is a thin line between the difference of healthy behavior and dangerous behavior. Obsessive behaviors can become detrimental when they are taken to the extent that they may interfere with a healthy lifestyle and balance of activities.
“The imaginations competition is absolutely inspiring and it’s great getting to meet some of the most talented and creative people in the world,” Habersetzer said. “The Disney company is one of the best, if not the best, storytelling companies in the world. Getting to look into that process has been amazing.” The glimpse into Disney taught the team about the significance of collaboration in the creative workplace. In
addition to the design process, the multi-disciplinary effort includes persuasive and illustrative writing, engineering and product marketing. For Park, this multi-disciplinary dialog was a strength for the team. “We’ve been able to complement each other’s strength and build off ideas to make a cohesive project,” Park said. The collaborative effort paid off for the team, and as firstplace winners, they’ll enjoy
$3,000 in prize money. However, for Habersetzer, the team already had the feeling of triumph before the final awards ceremony. “Looking at how far we’ve come, we were selected out of 130 to compete in the finals,” Habersetzer said. “Reflecting on that, I feel like we already won.” Now with first place, Habersetzer’s Disney dream is no longer a figment of his imagination.

I knew Board Bucks would be a better option for me,” Though she has to use her meal plan for the remainder of the year, Sims said she likes to take advantage of the kitchen in her dorm. She said she enjoys cooking and doesn’t want to leave the dorm every time she’s hungry. “It should be up to us to decide if we want [a meal plan], because many of us just love cooking and would prefer to do that,” Sims said. Sims said she and her suitemates have even started a “Sunday Dinner” tradition -not in the dining halls, but right in their dorm.

All these schools are strategically focused on serving the growing non-traditional student population through continuing education, distance learning and workforce development credit and non-credit programs. Though many firms are involved in developing software for continuing and extension education, Destiny One, is the only software that offers integrated constituent, enrollment and administrative management on a single software platform designed exclusively to meet the divergent needs of non-traditional higher education. “We measure our success by how successful our clients are with our software,” Kuper said. “We view initial implementation NCSU as a success with future phases to replicate this to other units.” “The N.C. State team is extremely competent and an excellent reference case for how our future customers should leverage our software,” Oshita said. The average age of the college students is on the rise, and with that comes special needs. The market for student friendly software is growing and NCSU and Destiny Solutions are looking to capitalize on the growth.

scoring, but also his defensive body of work. “Scott [Wood] was pretty good in just about every area,” Gottfried said. “He defended pretty well. He gave up a couple of looks, but offensively it was nice to see him get in a groove where everyone in the gym thinks every shot is going in. That’s where he was today.” All five Wolfpack starters finished in double figures for the game and the team shot over 52 percent from the field. Overall, Gottfried seemed impressed with what the Wolfpack put out on the court, especially on the offensive end. “First of all, I liked a lot of things about the game,” Gottfried said. “I like how we got the game up and down and got our break running. Offensively, we were a lot better there.” On the defense, Gottfried acknowledged his team could have played better against a
Wake Forest team that is only averaging 63.3 points per game. “Defensively, not as good,” Gottfried said. “I thought we could have played much better. We had a stretch at the end of the first half where I thought defensively we were really sharp, but outside of that I think we gave up too many good looks.” With the win, State has won five straight against the Demon Deacons. In a losing effort, guard C.J. Harris was Wake Forest’s leading scorer with 21 points. The Pack will travel to Atlanta Thursday to square off with Georgia Tech, a team it lost to 82-71 at home in January. Scott Wood thought picking up the win Saturday was huge, and believes his team can put together a strong finish in league play, despite several challenging teams lurking ahead. “I think we’re getting it,” Wood said. “If we can continue to work hard on the offensive and defensive end, we’ll be really good.”

the Cavs held a vice grip on it for the remainder of the game. UVA widened the gap to double digits at 38-28 with 12 minutes left in the half and it kept growing due to forcing the Pack into several turnovers resulting from the Cavs switching to a zone press on defense. “We weren’t sharp,” Harper said. “There were times where we could’ve made an extra pass or we could have made a good pass that led to a shot. We just didn’t execute whether it be we threw the pass behind somebody or didn’t make a good pass or we didn’t see the open person.” The Pack was able to close the score to within six with five seconds left, but it was to no avail as Virginia was able to hold on and come out with the victory.

Hill becomes first runner in NCSU history to break 4-minute mile N.C. State All-American Ryan Hill, a junior out of Hickory, broke the longest-standing mark in the Wolfpack track and field record book and became the first runner in school history to break the four-minute mile. Hill, running in his first indoor track meet of the season, easily won the mile run at the Virginia Tech Elite meet, posting a record-breaking time of 3:58.33, to claim his fourth school record in indoor and outdoor track. Hill, a two-time ACC champion in the 10,000 meters, had previously set school marks in the indoor 3,000 meters (7:50.78), the outdoor 1,500 meters (3:40.22) and the outdoor 5,000 meters (13:31.67). The fastest mile prior to Hill’s record-breaker was set by Jim Wilkins 39 years ago. Source: N.C. State Athletics
ACC Announces Future Regular-Season Scheduling Formats Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner John Swofford announced future scheduling formats this weekend, as approved by the ACC’s Faculty Athletic Representatives and Athletics Directors. The announcement was made following the annual ACC Winter Meetings and will go in effect once Pittsburgh and Syracuse become playing members in the conference. Conference schedules will go to nine games in football and 18 in basketball, while the ACC will now sponsor 26 sports with a new 14-member structure. N.C. State will no longer be playing UNC in both Chapel Hill and Raleigh every season due to the new scheduling model that will be based on a three-year cycle and a primary partner. State’s primary partner will be Wake Forest, while UNC will partner with Duke.
Wolfpack rises above Deacons State eclipses last year’s win total with second win over Demon Deacons. Brian Anderson Staff Writer
After suffering an embarrassing 76-40 home loss to State last month, Wake was determined to get revenge on the Pack. Not much changed in three weeks. N.C. State (17-7, 6-3 ACC) defeated Wake Forest (1112, 2-7 ACC) Saturday afternoon, 87-76, on the strength of five different players reaching double figures. State held off several runs from Wake, but was eventually able to break away for a comfortable victory. With six conference wins on the season, NCSU has already surpassed last season’s conference win total. The afternoon started with the Demon Deacons taking an early 7-2 lead, but State charged back with a 12-point run to go ahead. The Deacs eventually held a 29-22 advantage to put the Wolfpack faithful teetering on the edge of their seats a little over halfway through the first half. Until junior forward Scott Wood nailed three consecutive threepointers and State retook the lead, 31-29. The Wolf-
pack would extend the margin, going up 41-33 at the half. Wake Forest had one more run in them, tying the game at 50 early in the second half. However, the Wolfpack would survive the brief scare and go on to win the game by an 11-point margin. On the multiple scoring runs, Wood thought the team with the most runs would go on to win the game. “Basketball is a game of runs,” Wood said. “You just have to withstand them and have more runs than the other team. If you can do that, you will be successful.” Wood led the Wolfpack with a game-high 23 points and connected on six three-pointers. The Marion, Ind. native said when his teammates are setting screens for him, he can get open and knock down shots. “I think Lorenzo [Brown] and my teammates just did a good job screening and finding me,” Wood said. “Whenever you can give someone that can make shots a wide open look, it always helps you.” Senior shooting guard C.J. Williams, who had 18 points to go along with six rebounds and three assists, admits Wood’s shooting ability boosts the team. “When Scott [Wood] gets it going for us, we are a lot better team,” Williams said. Coach Mark Gottfried was not only pleased with Wood’s oliver sholder/Technician

The Wolfpack took advantage of pins by sophomore Matt Nereim at 149 pounds and freshman Coltin Fought at 125 to make things interesting against UNC Friday night, but the veteran Tar Heels prevailed by taking six of 10 matches on the Pack’s senior night. “I feel bad for the seniors because this group has worked really hard,” coach Carter Jordan said. “We have been wrestling very well, but we didn’t wrestle well tonight, top to bottom. We need all 10 pistons popping for us to win, because of the youth and inexperience that we have. We had some outstanding performances from some of our guys, and some other guys were disappointing.”
Nereim’s pin concluded the most entertaining match of the evening with just 14 seconds remaining in the third and final period. Nereim and Carolina’s Jon Burns traded takedowns from the match’s outset, before Nereim’s pin abruptly ended the back-and-forth affair. “Quite frankly, we thought someone was getting pinned in that match, because both of them wrestle like that,” Jordan said. “But at that time, at that moment, did I expect a pin with that particular technique? No. That was unbelievable. That’s who [Nereim] is. If he can just turn one more corner for us, he can be as good as he wants to be.” In addition to the victories by Nereim and Fought, State won at 141 pounds, where No. 10 senior Darrius Little recorded a 8-3 decision, and at 174, a match fellow senior Quinton Godley won by a 7-1 decision. Senior 157-pounder Colton Palmer, the other senior competing for the last time at
Reynolds Coliseum, fell to No. 17 Corey Mock, 5-0. But ultimately, the Pack’s inexperience proved too much to overcome. Freshman Ben Elliott fell 11-4 to senior Brock Livorio of UNC at 133 pounds, freshman Robert O’Neill dropped a 13-3 decision to Carolina senior Thomas Ferguson at 184 pounds, and sophomore Nijel Jones fell behind early in an 8-2 loss to Tar Heel senior Kyle Kiss. Freshman heavyweight Josh Davis lost his bout 5-2 to put the Pack in an early hole after the match started at the 184-pound class. “I say this all the time, I’ll take a .500 wrestler in his fifth year over a freshman, any day of the week,” Jordan said. “I don’t care how talented the freshman is. The fifth year guy that is .500 is going to beat the hell out of [the freshman], nine times out of 10. The savvy, the mat experience, all that stuff; that kind of stuff is what you just have to learn from it.”
