Gary Johnson inspires Libertarian vote Linda Lear

to Speak at N.C. State

Taylor O’Quinn Correspodent

Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson spoke Thursday in Durham about the rise in libertarianism in today’s political environment. Joining him at the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University were libertarian gubernatorial candidates Barbara Howe and Brian Irving. The Libertarian party’s appearance follows on the heels of a 16 percent increase in registered Libertarian voters in the United States last month, according to Howe. She said that mostly Democrats and independents are converting to Libertarianism. “Our country needs a new direction,” Howe said. “It needs a third party to break through.” Howe conveyed her strong opinions on the passage of Amendment One, an anti-same sex marriage law, this previous May. Howe said she believes the passage of the amendment was a “slap on society.” She said she was so upset by the passage of this amendment that she shredded her marriage license in front of the Attorney General’s office. This is Howe’s third run for Governor of North Carolina, and to boost awareness of her campaign and the Libertarian party in general, she is organizing and participating in a 5K run in all 100 counties of North Carolina. She has already visited 84 counties and hosted what she said to be successful events. On Nov. 4, the day before election day, Howe plans to end her tour in Wake County by completing a 5K in front of the Governor’s Mansion.

Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson speaks about his time as governor of New Mexico and discusses his platform for the 2012 presidential election at “Elevate - A Discussion on Ignored Policy Issues” on Thursday, Sept. 20, at Duke University. “Why are we out talking to college students? Why are we out talking to young people? Because you all are getting screwed.”, Johnson said, while discussing the future state of retirement and healthcare.

The Libertarian party currently has three candidates running for the House. One of whom is Brian Irving, who gave a brief speech after Howe. “Our country has been at war my entire life,” Irving said. He said he feels strongly abut bringing our troops home and supports an isolationist foreign policy. “I am presenting a completely different view than twinkle-dumb and twinkle-dumber” Irving said. Gary Johnson, the Libertarian presidential candidate, highlighted Thursday’s private press conference, and outlined his vision for a country

with a smaller government. “I think America is really hungry,” Johnson said. “Libertarianism is not only a third choice, but the only choice.” Johnson said he believes most American’s identify with Libertarian views, and during his speech, he emphasized the importance of this election’s timing. “We need to pull out of Afghanistan now, recognize marriage equality now, legalize and regulate marijuana now,” Johnson said. He also heavily advocated for repealing the Patriot Act and balancing the federal budget.

When it comes to the ever present issue of the economy, Johnson is a proponent of the fair tax and abolishing the IRS. He said he believes if the U.S. enacted these views, it would “reboot [the] American economy.” Johnson said slashing Medicare and military spending is essential to the growth of America’s failing economy. Johnson warned if Congress does not severely cut spending across the board then “we will find ourselves without a country.” Johnson said he fears he may be

University’s layout to be improved and updated Alex Petercuskie Staff Writer

N.C. State’s physical master plan, which works to improve the physical layout of the University and its surrounding community, is being updated. The master plan, last revised in 2007, is a presentation of all development projects that take place on the University’s campus and in adjacent neighborhoods, such as building renovations and enhanced walkways. University architect Lisa Johnson said the plan brings together the various aspects that make up N.C. State and helps to create a safer and

more aesthetically pleasing campus community. “The physical master plan presents a way to integrate the many parts of a large urban campus into a coherent whole,” Johnson said. “Our campus neighborhoods overlap with city neighborhoods, so it is important for us to work together toward mutually beneficial goals.” One of the better-known projects that recently took place under the plan is the Hillsborough Street redevelopment project, on which the University and the city of Raleigh partnered.

AT THE BOOKSTORE TODAY - SATURDAY 10am-3pm Harrelson Hall On the Brickyard!

“...student filmmakers see this as an opportunity to tell a story about how their campus is making an impact.”

N.C. State will host biographer Linda Lear, author of Rachel Carson: Witness for Nature, next Thursday. The event, organized by Larry Nielsen, professor in the College of Natural Resources, will take place at 6:30 p.m. in 3400 Nelson Hall and will commemorate the 50th anniversary publication of Carson’s most famous work, Silent Spring. Silent Spring details the risks associated with the haphazard use of pesticides, especially in regard to the pesticide DDT. As Carson made the public more aware of the harms of pesticides, she sought to create reform concerning their usage. As a result, she is often given credit for starting the modern environmental movement. A victim of breast cancer, Carson passed away in 1964. Carson’s legacy, however, still lives on through the writings of Linda Lear. A former professor at George Washington University, Lear said she was astounded to discover many of her students had never even heard of Rachel Carson, nor her book Silent Spring. Lear said she was determined to fix the scenario, and thus the biography was born. Lear said she looked up to Carson and her “courage to stand up to all the powers of the ‘establishment’ that were arraigned against her.” Writing the biography was not easy, according to Lear. Lear said not all of Carson’s works were easily accessible, so she interviewed everyone who had even the slightest knowledge of Carson. “Writing a biography is all about telling a life [story],” Lear said. Lear wanted to make sure she wrote the most accurate portrayal of Rachel Carson’s life, and Nielsen said Lear did an excellent job with this. “Lear is balanced and doesn’t romanticize,” Nielson said. “She is objective.” While Lear did not respond to her praises, she did have a lot to say about Carson’s “Silent Spring.” “[Carson] was committed to changing attitudes in order to save lives,” Lear said. “I enjoyed the powerful language with which Carson used to convey her message.” Lear said Carson’s idea that destroying nature also harms the human race is especially appealing. “She intended to disturb us, to alarm us and to make us think about tomorrow and not just about our comforts today,” Lear said. At the time of the publication of Silent Spring, many in the industry and government viewed Carson unfavorably, according to Lear. “They challenged her credibility since she did not have the proper education, and even called her a hysterical woman,”

When Murray realized the booster club was requesting funds for the AFROTC during the meeting, he brought their blacklist status to the attention of the committee members and the committee spent some time discussing it. In the end, for the fall 2012 request, four members voted yes for funding, two voted no and one person abstained. For the 2013 request, all members of the committee voted in favor of funding the request. Since the committee endorsed the proxy request, there are concerns other groups on the blacklist will try to use proxies to gain funding as well. “I suppose it’s possible that other groups could file requests on behalf of other student groups, given the precedent set by the committee. However, I would strongly advise groups to not do this,” Murray said. However, Murray and Barker said they expect the committee will fix the issue through the appeals process. “I think the overarching message is that the committee took action in the first round to sharply limit funding given to the organization because of questions about their eligibility,” Barker said. “We have a strong record of preventing fraud in the system, and I anticipate that this issue will equally be dealt with in short order.” Due to the time in which this article was produced, the AFROTC office was not contacted for comment.

Johnson said. “Young people should revolt.” Young voters are essential to Johnson’s campaign because he said he believes that as young minds, students are the most reasonable voters. Johnson said college-aged voters will eventually outgrow the Baby Boomer age, and it’s up to the current students’ generation to make the most influence on reforming American government. After the event, sophomore at the UNC-Chapel Hill, Jason Wolonick, said Gary Johnson inspired him to vote

Libertarian this fall. “I loved how Governor Johnson was so enthusiastic about his campaign,” Wolonick said. Another student attendee was Matt Van Kleunen, from Elon University. He too said he was deeply moved by Johnson’s speech. “It’s good to see that Libertarian’s are giving this election a good fight,” Van Kleunen said. “I believe our country is moving in the direction of finally breaking away from a strict two party system.”

In addition, the pathway and stairs recently built on the corner of Western Boulevard and Avent Ferry Road have greatly enhanced the appearance and safety of the area and have been praised by many students and faculty. The walkway not only benefits students who live in places like the Avent Ferry dorms, it also benefits pedestrians who work or visit businesses in the area, a primary focus of A Campus of Neighborhoods and Paths, the name given to the University’s physical master plan. According to plan, the University adopted the term “campus neighborhood” in 1984 and emphasized a pedestrianoriented campus that included plenty of green space.

They must also be submitted as a DVD in SD format. “What I would like to see happen is that student filmmakers see this as an opportunity to tell a story about how their campus is making an impact in the community,” Keyne said. Keyne suggests making a video about community outreach programs on campus, research being done in the university or even basic service tips. Keyne saidthat

the story could be about one student’s personal volunteering experience and how it has affected the community members’ lives. While at other universities, Keyne has had students share their documentary ideas with her. “What I would love to see is that at the end of the competition, the films that are created are actually used by their host institutions in years to come to tell the story of partnerships with the community,” Keyne said.

Johnson said the current improvements made on the corner give students and pedestrians a safer means to reach the streets’ intersection. Johnson said designs outlined in the master plan include a future Western Boulevard underpass that would promote more efficient movement between South Campus and Central Campus. Johnson said the physical plan is updated every five years and is a collective effort among University students, staff and campus neighbors. “We are a little unusual since we produce the majority of our master plan in-house and draw upon campus expertise and the campus community. It takes us about a year and a half to complete an update,” Johnson said. “Most other campuses hire consultants to produce their master plans, and we continue to get compliments from other universities on our plan.” The 2007 version of A Campus of Neighborhoods and Paths is available online. Johnson said campus

workshops will begin this fall where people of the campus community can go and participate in reviewing various topics of interest. According to A Campus of Neighborhoods, in November of 2000, North Carolina voters approved the University Bond Referendum, which provided the University with $468 million for new construction and renovations. Johnson said this money went toward projects that specifically supported academic and research purposes such as the David Clark Lab renovation and addition, Fox Teaching Labs, the Park Shops renovation and Engineering Buildings I and II. At the same time these changes took place, other non-bond projects were occurring as well. According to the 2007 physical master plan, these non-bond projects included the addition to Carmichael Gymnasium, the expansion of Carter Finley Stadium, Wolf Village and the First Year College building.

Rock the vote, unless you’re a Democrat

hen you have lunch at any of the campus dining halls, you’re expected to have your Wolfpack One ID on hand. It makes sense. Your ID is proof that you are a student at N.C. State and also serves as a method of payment. Likewise, should we not be expected to show identification as proof of citizenship at the voting polls? The answer may seem obvious. If you need an ID to Megan drive, be employed by the Ellisor state, or simply eat at FounStaff Columnist tain Dining Hall, surely you need one to vote, right? The laws vary by state. The Tenth Amendment of the Bill of Rights states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” This has allowed for a lack of unity when it comes to voter identification requirements. States that have a voter ID law in place fall into one of three categories of requirements: strict photo, photo or non-photo. Pennsylvania State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe told ABC news, “It only makes sense that when you show up to vote, to exercise that very important right

and responsibility, you prove you are who you claim.” Proponents of voter ID laws say they exist to prevent voter fraud. However, a Department of Justice study shows that out of the 197 million votes cast between 2002 and 2005, only 40 voters were indicted for voter fraud. Lorraine Minnite, an associate professor of public policy at Rutgers University-Camden, concluded, “The costs are very high and the benefits [of voter ID laws] are practically nonexistent.” A map published by the National Conference of State Legislatures shows that Tennessee, Georgia, Kansas, Pennsylvania and Indiana are the only states that have strict voter ID requirements. Another map made by NCSL shows that all five of these states also have Republican governors. This is no coincidence. In March, Pennsylvania’s legislature enacted “one of the toughest ID laws in the nation,” according to Ann Gerhart of The Washington Post. The law passed with no support from the Democrats. However, since the law was enacted, it has been sent to Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court, which sent the case back to

or a school with an emphasis on technology, N.C. State’s efforts toward sustainability could be a lot better. While there is a lot of talk about sustainability — increasing renewable energy supplies, green buildings and the like — most of the action seems to be at the administrative level. But in light of the recognition given to environmental matters at the national and international level, even this does not seem to be keeping up with the f low. We have only three LEED-certified buildings, with another three in the process of certification, and there are not nearly enough renewable energy projects operational or in planning. Student action toward environmental matters appears even more lacking, with the most noticeable green endeavors that students are seen participating in being the Think Outside The Brick competition and the Wolfpack Environmental Student Association’s clothes drives. Walking through our campus, one is much more likely to be encountered with a message of “Go Greek” than “Go Green.” It is because of such a state of affairs that the newly proposed Sustainability Fund is desirable, and indeed, a muchneeded change. If the fee is approved, $10 per student will “go toward sustainable projects such as green building improvements, educational

programs, environmental research grants and scholarships and leadership opportunities for students,” as per the Technician reported on Wednesday. Students may be concerned about having to pay an extra $10 on top of an already hefty, and increasing, cost of attendance. However, with the savings that will take place by switching to green technologies, the long-term costs, which in significant measure students have to bear, will decrease. A student-created and student-driven endeavor, this fund is a call for the University to take environmentallyresponsible steps and pave the way to make this possible, rather than the University urging students to rec ycle or sw itch of f lights before leaving the room. If the proposal for the fee is passed, $286,000 will be generated for environmental projects, an amount with the potential to make a noticeable difference. It is thus imperative that the Board of Trustees recognize the worth of the Sustainability Fund and the need of the hour, both at a local and global level, and approve of the fee. What should be the foremost priority of the Board of Trustees must not be shrouded behind the green fog of the Sustainability Fund. As pertinent as this green fee may be, Technician asserts its position and its devotion to its own craft — our supply of green must get the green light — the proposed $5.50 increase in the Student Media fee, if nothing else, must be approved.

cans, allow Mike Turzai, the House Majority Leader in Pennsylvania to clarify: “Voter ID — which is going to allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania — done.” And then Turzai’s foot met his mouth. Furthermore, Voter ID laws would simply cost states a lot of money to ensure voters are aware of the requirements and how to get their IDs. I guess spending money is okay when it results in winning the state of Pennsylvania, right, Turzai? Not only do voter ID laws target minorities and the elderly, but they may also affect students. Lee Rowland, counsel for the Brennan Center for Justice’s Democracy Program, explained, “From new voter ID laws that prevent students from using their student IDs to vote, to limitations on students’ ability to establish voting residency in the states that they truly consider home, to restrictions on campus voter registration drives.” All of these groups tend to vote on the liberal side, which is all the more reason Republicans want to implement voter ID laws.

the Commonwealth Court on Sept. 18. Less than two months away from Election Day, Pennsylvanians still do not know what identification they will need at the polls. The Philadelphia Inquirer found that in urban areas like Philadelphia, nearly 18 percent of the city’s voters lack a state-issued ID. Democratic-leaning voters are often concentrated in these urban areas, noted Andrew Rosenthal of The New York Times. The New York Times explained, “The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law found that obtaining proper voter ID in the affected states was difficult. More than 10 million eligible voters live more than 10 miles from their nearest ID-issuing office.” Another problem is cost. Although states cannot charge for IDs needed to vote, as this would be a de facto poll tax, birth and marriage certificates are usually needed to obtain a voter ID. These certificates can cost anywhere from $8 to $25, which causes difficulties as many affected voters are poor. In case there was not enough evidence to reveal the true motives behind the Republi-

hat is the dea l w it h the electric car, or as the hip geeks (who are going to make way more money than the rest of us) say, “EV”? I am as Heather environTroutman mentally Staff Columnist conscious a s t he y come, while still maintaining a connection to the 21st-century and JayZ, but even I didn’t consider an EV while making the largest purchase of my life: a brand new Genesis. Sure, I’d heard of EVs, but who really drives one? Where do you plug it in — certainly not in the wall, right? It probably doesn’t go that far, does it? Definitely not fast. Plus, who could afford one? They must be crazy expensive. These, I presume, are common misconceptions the rest of you might have as well. A bit of research revealed many surprising things and made my shiny new blue beginning (Hyundai Genesis) seem not so cool. The average 100 percent EV (hybrids are still good transitional options) list between $20-$30K; i.e. highly affordable in the

2012-13 model world, not to mention the $7.5K tax writeoff. They can run around 100 miles per full charge, and exceed any speed limit in the U.S. To be honest, to outfit your garage with a charging station seems a bit of work. Thankfully, most cities around the country have installed charging stations to eliminate this need. The city of Raleigh has installed 18, not including the 10 across Centennial Campus. OK, EVs seem reasonable, but why is it such a big deal to make an electric transition? If you want to argue CO2 emissions, visit L.A. for a weekend, or better yet, Shanghai. Outside of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions a nd g loba l climate change, CO2 emissions are the main contributor to smog. Air pollution is a major problem worldwide, including here at home. Chronic respiratory diseases and throat lesions plague one in four Americans, a problem the EPA directly links to air pollution caused by car exhaust. This finding has led to President Obama’s currently passed Fuel Efficiency Standard of 54.5 mpg by 2025.

These new standards are landmark and will greatly reduce emissions, but one gallon of gas emits 19 pounds of CO2. A 54.5 mpg standard is not good enough to be the end-all answer — it’s only a transitional step. Forget my opinion — I’m still only a student — and test drive an EV yourself this afternoon. In celebration of Campus Sustainability Day, Centennial Campus and the Sustainability Department are hosting the grand opening of the 10 EV charging stations from 11:30 a.m. to 1: 3 0 p.m . behind Partners I, 1017 Main Campus Drive, Centennial Campus.

A film near the bottom of the barrel House at the end of the Street

Jordan Alsaqa Features Editor

A Bigger Boat

The House at the End of the Street is a bit of an odd duck. When you go to see a horror film, you expect certain elements to come into play with a certain amount of frequency. What you don’t expect is for half of the film to feel more like an adaption of a Nicholas Sparks novel than a slasher flick. House follows Elissa Cassidy (Jennifer Lawrence) as she and her mother Sarah (Elisabeth Shue) move to a remote country town in order to get away from the big city life. However, the house across the woods from theirs was the scene of a grisly murder. Young Carrie Ann Jacobson went mad and killed her parents before disappearing. Now, the only resident is Carrie Ann’s brother Ryan (Max Thieriot), to whom Elissa has an immediate attraction. However, things aren’t quite as they seem: Ryan has a dark secret down

 in the basement, one that may prove more dangerous to Elissa than she could possibly realize. There’s really not much to say about the plot in House, if only because chances are you’ve already heard it in about a dozen other horror films. There’s just not a lot of suspense in the narrative when the beats come as predictably as they do. All you can hope is that the acting and writing work provide an enjoyable experience in familiar territory. Unfortunately, things are more miss than hit in this area. On the positive side, the three leads do a great job staying committed to their respective characters, with Lawrence the clear stand-out.

regular teenage girl, someone who’s easy to connect to and root for. She manages a good amount of chemistry with both Thieriot and Shue, who bring an equal amount of presence to most of their scenes. Unfortunately, good performances can only get you so far without strong writing to back it up. This is where House really stumbles. Awkward lines of dialogue dominate most conversations, and no amount of acting talent can salvage characters that fall victim to all the standard contrivances of the genre that House ascribes to. Whether it’s a cop entering a dark room with a faulty f lashlight or Ryan conveniently forgetting to lock a door, everyone in the film behaves illogically when they need to for the sake of keeping the film scary. Honestly, the film doesn’t even manage many legitimate scares. Having a teenage girl as the villain, no matter how mentally deranged she might

be, does very little to inspire fear in an audience. By the time the film introduces a more credible threat, it’s already moved fully into a stock slasher flick ending, removing any possibility of tension. Surprisingly, the film is at its best when it forgets that it’s supposed to be scary. For long stretches, House focuses on developing the relationship between Elissa and Ryan.

Forgiving the occasionally clunky dialogue, the legitimate chemistry the two actors share help to sell these scenes, even if they feel completely out of place in what’s supposed to be a horror film. In all fairness, the biggest crime House commits is in just being too bland. It’s nowhere near the offensively stupid levels of the year’s biggest horror bomb, The

Chernobyl Diaries, and the lead actors all do a decent job with the material. Ultimately, there’s just nothing that sets The House at the End of the Street apart from its predecessors, and with creative horror films like The Cabin in the Woods and Paranormal Activity 3 on the market, that’s a bigger crime than it once was.

Bridging the gap for international students Hassan DuRant Science and Tech Editor

Those who have studied in a foreign country know that it can be hard to adjust to a completely new environment. There are more than 2,200 international students at N.C. State, according to data from the Office of International Services, and it’s doubtless many of them will encounter problems while trying to adjust to life in Raleigh. The company called New Mind aims to relieve the stresses that international students may feel when studying in the United States and to make the transition from one culture to another an easier process. New Mind began as a simple idea from the former Red Hat CMO Michael Chen. Chen was an international graduate student at the University, and his experiences made him feel he could have had a better support system during his studies. In 2010, Chen founded New Mind to help tackle some of the problems that international students may have while in a new country. According to New Mind’s program director, Bryce Roberts, most of the New Mind team has experience in international travels. Roberts himself has spent seven years studying, teaching and working in China. “We know what it’s like to be alone, with no support system,” Roberts said. “I think this is a way of giving back to the people who helped us out when we were on our own.” New Mind was founded in 2010, and the company’s

first official program began in the 2011 fall semester, with 28 total students. Twenty-one students joined in the spring semester, and currently, the program boasts 105 international students, most of whom are from China. According to Chen, most of these students know English well, but are not able to communicate f luently due to the way English is studied in China. New Mind aims to help students communicate effectively through their programs. New Mind recruits students from their host country so that most affairs will be settled by the time the student arrives in the United States. The company’s main program, the University Preparatory Program, was designed with the aim of supporting international students from the moment they arrive until they graduate from the yearlong program. “We pick the students up from the airport and help with obtaining phones and insurance and other paperwork like that,” Roberts said. The UPP course includes tutoring, service-learning and other activities; however, according to several representatives at New Mind, the program’s most valuable service comes with its advising component. At the University, there can be more than fifty students for every advisor. At New Mind, the ratio of advisors to students may be as low as 1:10, and the program strives for its advisors to get to know each of the students on a personal level. In addition to the advisors,

New Mind also employs several peer mentors, who help the students to find ways to get involved on campus. During the UPP course, students explore the differences between their native culture and society and the United States’ in the hopes that learning these differences will help the students to better communicate with their American peers. While the program exists as a support system for the students, according to Shane Riter, the company’s lead advisor, New Mind tries not to shelter them. “We want them to really experience this new environment, and sometimes they make mistakes and learn from them,” Riter said. In addition to the culture and communication classes, New Mind offers activities and field trips for the students to participate in. Last year, the students went to Asheville and Washington, D.C., as well as local places such as First Friday and the museums in downtown Raleigh. Despite all the company has to offer, not everyone is praising New Mind. Three international students who have graduated from the program are critical of the way the program was conducted during the 2011-2012 school year. “It was a very nice idea, but sometimes it seemed like a waste of money,” Yaling Zhao, freshman in business management, said. Zhao explained that she felt the classes New Mind had to offer were ineffective at meeting their goal of better communication with American students. Accord-

ing to Zhao, the program cost her more than $30,000, but did not always feel worth the expense. Despite their criticism of the company, the three international students were in agreement that the New Mind program will get better with time. “They have a really good concept — amazing,” Jieyun Tong said. However, he said the program failed to deliver in certain aspects. “Some of the classes go on for a long time and aren’t very engaging,” Tong said. “And many of the students only talk to other Chinese [students] — they don’t really talk to Americans if they can help it.” According to Roberts, the

company has received similar criticism when the UPP program conducted surveys to assess what students thought of the program. Roberts said New Mind is working on addressing the problems that were brought to the company’s attention. For example, last year, peer mentors simply offered events to all the participating students, with no personal expectation that the students attend; this year, however, the peer mentors have been instructed to find students and invite them to events personally. New Mind is also working to make class time more engaging by inserting guest speakers and local field trips into the scheduled lecture

time. On the issue of international students not interacting with native students, Chen feels it goes both ways. “[A mer ic a n st udent s] should take the time to introduce themselves to their international classmates — and the same goes for the international students,” Chen said. Despite the issues that arose last year, Roberts, like the international students, is confident that the company will learn from its mistakes and offer a higher-quality program in the years to come. “We’re trying out a lot of new things, but we still have a long way to go,” Roberts said.

Management students revive International Business Club Nicky Vaught Staff Writer

Back from the dead and with more enthusiasm than ever, the International Business Club at N.C. State has become one of the largest student organizations on campus, with 50 applications already turned in and 20 to 30 more on their way. “My goal is mostly about developing relationships between American and international students,” said Zach Milburn, a senior in entrepreneurship and founder and president of the International Business Club. Milburn also co-founded wolfexchange.com with his brother, Geoff Milburn, last year. The Wolf Exchange is a Craigslist-like website for N.C. State students. According to Milburn, the IBC comprises three major facets: networking, professional development and mentorship. Networking focuses on conducting social events for the club’s members. Already, the club has participated in events such as attending First Friday. “Honestly, I think that’s the most important part of the club,” Milburn said. “Some of the things you’re going to learn, especially in international business, you can’t learn in the classroom. You have to learn how to work with other people’s personalities and cultures, especially in the Eastern side of the world.” However, Milburn admits

this semester is Sept. 30. Milburn encourages everyone who joins – and even everyone who doesn’t – to at least study abroad for a semester. “Sometimes after I’d been to a countr y,” Milburn said, “teachers would explain something about [that country] that’s just wrong, like maybe something that’s in the textbook, or that they read somewhere, but it’s way different when you’re actually there.” Milburn, an admitted advocate for traveling, has been to 21 countries, and even taught in Indonesia. He says studying abroad is what has most impacted his life and taught him more than he could have ever learned in four years of college. Studying abroad in France is what inspired him to get involved with international students and subsequently create the International Business Club. “You can’t necessarily apply most of what you learn in college to most countries,” Milburn said. “Learning how people work, that’s [of] way more value than anything they can teach you [in a classroom].”

Wolfpack to battle against Bulldogs Daniel Wilson

Amerson’s contact with Leak not a NCAA Violation N.C. State confirmed that junior cornerback David Amerson and former player Eric Leak made contact in June. Leak was a former wide receiver for the Wolfpack from 1997-2000. The contact is not an NCAA violation, but it is a violation of the terms of Leak’s disassociation from the program. Leak was sent a dissociation letter by Athletics Director Debbie Yow in 2011 after Leak provided impermissible benefits to men’s basketball junior forward C.J. Leslie and former men’s basketball player Tracy Smith. Leslie served a three-game suspension last season as a result of receiving $410 worth of benefits. SOURCE: WRAL

Volleyball to host Duke The Wolfpack will look to take down ACC rival Duke Friday at 7 p.m. in Reynolds Coliseum. The Pack is currently holding a 12-1 record and is coming off wins over North Carolina and Wake Forest, giving it a 2-0 ACC record on the season. It’s the first season since 1998 the Pack opened its ACC schedule with back-to-back wins. A win over Duke would give State volleyball its best start in the ACC since 1988, a season that saw the Pack go undefeated. In its last matchup with Duke, the Blue Devils dropped the Pack in straight sets. SOURCE: N.C. STATE ATHLETICS

N.C. State (2-1) will play its second home game and its final non-conference contest of the season against The Citadel Saturday at Carter-Finley Stadium. This will be the fifth time these schools have clashed together, with the Wolfpack winning the past four times, most recently in 1983 with a 45-0 victory for State. The Bulldogs (3-0, 2-0), who play in the Southern Conference as part of the Championship Subdivision, are coming off of a massive beatdown of Appalachian State in Boone, beating the Mountaineers 52-28. They are coming off of a 4-7 season from last year, but are starting this season strong, averaging 41.3 points and 466 yards per game. Last week, the Wolfpack offense wasted no time in scoring by coming away with 14 points on its first two possessions. Graduate student quarterback Mike Glennon had a stand out passing performance, completing 24 of 34 passes for 257 yards and three touchdowns. Junior wide receiver Quintin Payton recorded five receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown, which brings his total to 12 receptions for 238 yards for the season thus far, making him one of Glennon’s primary targets. “I think he’s been the leader of the wide receivers, so I think he’s holding himself to a high standard, and it’s really paying off for us,” Glennon said. One of the major factors in

the Pack’s running game, redshirt sophomore running back Mustafa Greene, will once again be absent from the action. Greene was suspended by head coach Tom O’Brien moments before the kickoff against South Alabama. “His situation hasn’t changed since Saturday night,” O’Brien said. Redshirt sophomore Tony Creecy and senior running back James Washington will carry most of the weight of rushing the ball with senior running back Brandon Barnes possibly earning carries as well. N.C. State ranks No. 108 in rushing yards out of Division I Football Bowl Subdivision teams. A win against the Bulldogs will

not come easily for the Pack. The Citadel is second in the FCS in rushing yards with 1,110 yards and 14 rushing touchdowns. The Bulldogs’ leading rusher, junior quarterback Ben Dupree, has rushed for 349 yards and four touchdowns while only completing three out of eight passes for 82 and one score behind center. Senior running back Rickey Anderson has rushed for 212 yards and five touchdowns. “Their offense is one that’s tough to handle,” O’Brien said. “They’re playing with a great amount of confidence now. [Dupree] is extremely dangerous. “The quarterback can run around you, by you, through you, and past

you, and then when you have to defend that, sooner or later the ball’s going to go flying over your head. That’s what they do.” Junior cornerback David Amerson, who recorded his 15th career interception last Saturday against South Alabama, and crew have recorded eight takeaways. Going against the quarterback run option, on the other hand, will prove to be a challenge for the Wolfpack defense. “We’re going to have to play a lot of contain and know our assignments,” said redshirt junior linebacker Rickey Dowdy. “It’s just a quick second of being at the wrong place at the wrong time or not taking the right step.”
