AllCampus fees cause upset Jake Moser Staff Writer

The AllCampus merger with Wolf Print has students upset over the fee for online credit or debit account money transfers for printing. The transfer fee has been part of the AllCampus card for several years, according to director of technology and support programs, Susan West. This year, it became a problem when students were charged the same transfer fee when adding small amounts to their printing account. The AllCampus card is used to buy books, concessions at Carter Finley stadium, tickets from ticket central and campus cinema, snacks from vending machines, and almost everything on campus. At many of these places, the fee goes unnoticed because it is a small percentage of the actual purchase. For example, many students use their AllCampus account to pay for books, so a $2 fee out of a payment of several hundred dollars is not seen as an issue, according to West. Likewise, students tend to transfer a lot of money into their AllCampus account at one time for tickets, or a semester’s worth of money for vending machines. This year, students took notice of the fee. According to West, a $2 fee is a “huge percentage” relative to how much money the average student adds to their print quota, so it is easy to see why this would upset them. West said students can add money to their AllCampus account free of charge in-person at the One Card office at Talley Student Center, by check, or in the mail. “I can understand that students might need to immediately add money to their print quota at 2 a.m. in the library to print something off, but one key message to

N.C. State students gathered in the Wolf Plaza area near the Free Expression Tunnel to celebrate their support the University’s sports teams at the alumni association’s Ram Roast. If all goes well, the Wolfpack will bring home their sixth victory in a row against the Tarheels this Saturday.

Rams roasted before game Weston Suggs Staff Writer

The Alumni Association held the eighth annual Ram Roast Thursday night in Wolf Plaza to pep up students for another installment of the Tobacco Road rivalry football game between N.C. State and UNC-Chapel Hill Saturday. The Power Sound of the South, cheerleaders and the University’s dance team came together to pump up hundreds of students in

hope of a sixth consecutive victory over the UNC-Chapel Hill football team. Perhaps the most appealing attraction for die-hard Wolfpack fans was the appearance of the football team’s head coach, Tom O’Brien, and players Mike Glennon, Sterling Lucas and Camden Wentz. “We’ve been excited about this thing since we walked off the field at Maryland last week,” O’Brien said. “We did it for the class of ’11, we did it for the class of ’12, now we’re going

to try do it for the class of ’13, that you will never have lost to Carolina in football.” O’Brien’s appearance ended as students locked arms and sang the University’s Alma Mater with the marching band. The Ram Roast included performances from various student groups such as Ladies in Red, The Grains of Time, DanceVisions, Fusion Dance Crew, the N.C. State Clogging Team and Sube Ritmo. The student groups performed on

CSLEPS extends outreach programs Alex Petercuskie Staff Writer

The Center for Student Leadership, Ethics and Public Service will soon begin its pen pal initiative and Harvesting for the Hungry programs, connecting N.C. State students, faculty and staff to the local community. CSLEP’s former community outreach director, Amanda Antono, a senior in biological sciences, created the program last year. This year’s outreach committee decided to continue the project. Mandy Scott, a junior in business administration and current community outreach director, said because of the excellent response rate, registration to become a pen pal filled up in a day and a half. Scott said an assessment of last year’s program was conducted to improve this year’s program. In the past, Bertie Middle School partnered with N.C. State to match students in a sixth grade class to University students. This year, the program expanded to two classes

to include both sixth and seventh graders. Scott said the decision to write to sixth and seventh grade students was dependent upon the enthusiasm of the middle school teacher. “[The teacher] loves what the program does for her students,” Scott said. “Through last year’s program she was able to spread the word and get seventh grade on board.” Throughout the course of the fall semester, about 260 N.C. State students and faculty will each write between two and three letters to Bertie Middle School students. Scott said the program has a few primary goals, such as connecting members of the N.C. State community to youth in the community, providing positive role models for middle school students and encouraging youth to pursue their passions and continue their education. Participants in the program will follow writing prompts provided by the middle school teacher, Scott said. The matching process for the program presents some unique chal-

lenges. The project is designed to connect the career paths of N.C. State students with interests of the middle school students. “One wants to be a hunter, another a football player, so that makes the matching process a little more difficult,” Scott said. Scott said the program is doing something a little more personal this year by recommending that N.C. State student and faculty representatives find something symbolic of themselves, or where they come from, and send it along with their letters. Though this isn’t required, Scott said it is highly recommended. The pen pal program is just one of several projects put on by the CSLEPS community outreach committee. In November, the group plans to organize and participate in “Harvesting for the Hungry,” an event where volunteers visit local farms and glean, according to Scott. Gleaning entails walking around a farm collecting leftover crops. “The crops may not be the right weight or appearance for the commercial market, but they are still

good crops,” Scott said. “Our committee is going to launch a program to go out on Saturday for two hours and go through as a mass and glean. I believe we will be doing sweet potatoes or collard greens,” Scott said. Scott said the crops will then be given to a local food bank or soup kitchen the weekend before Thanksgiving in order to give back during the Holiday season. This spring, Scott and her committee will be launching a program called “Love the skin you’re in” to target the Girls Club of Raleigh. According to Scott, the program is about accepting diversity, appreciating oneself and promoting bullying awareness. Scott said the N.C. State Women’s Center will also help with the initiative. Girls will participate in self-esteem boosting exercises as well as other activities, according to Scott.

Students collect cans for Wolfpack Hunger Games Sam DeGrave Deputy News Editor

A small group of students gathered to participate in the first Wolfpack Hunger Games food drive Thursday night. The Hunger Advocacy Committee, a branch of the Center for Student Leadership, Ethics and Public Service, organized the food drive to collect cans and other nonperishable items for the N.C. State Food Pantry. Brooke Peery, a member of the Hunger Advocacy Committee and a freshman in First Year College, said the drive was modeled after Durham’s Creative Food Drive in an attempt to make

the event more appealing to students and student-run organizations. Food drive Participants met in Mann Hall, where they divided into groups of three to compete in a can structure building competition using the cans they donated. “We wanted to do something interesting with the cans instead of just having people drop them off and leave,” Peery said. According to Jessica Rose, Service Leadership Team director of the Hunger Advocacy Committee and a junior in industrial engineering, six separate student organizations donated cans and four of the organizations stayed to participate in the compe-

of the N.C. State Health Center, spoke at the event to remind participants that their donations would benefit the campus community. “Every semester the Counseling Center sees students who aren’t eating, making sacrifices for books or rent,” Adams said. According to Propst, the Wolpack Hunger Games was a great way to raise awareness about food insecurity on campus; however, it would have been more effective if more students had attended. “This event really goes to show that while much of the world is starving, there is a small fraction of us who have so much food we get to play with it,” Propst said.

Let’s not be jerks

The real victims of rape

“I

struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize life is a gift from God, and I think e ve n whe n life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something Ahmed Amer t h a t G o d Viewpoint Editor intended to happen,” – R i c h a rd Mourdock, Republican candidate for senator in Indiana. Leave it to the mainstream media to misinterpret Mourdock’s words to make him look like an ignorant jerk. It takes the mental acrobatics of sick, twisted, babykilling liberals to take such a harmless quote and use it for political gain. It’s almost as if they’re saying that, sure, women who are raped are the victims of rape — but the real victim here i s R ic h a rd Mourdock. Du r i ng a press conference, Mourdock defended himself, saying, “So many people mistook, twisted, came to misunderstand the points I was trying to make … I have certainly been humbled that so many people think that was somehow an interpretation.” A gracious thing to say after being vilified by the media, but I would have been more blunt: “I am humbled by how stupid most of you are. None of you understood what I said at all, so I guess I’m just smarter than almost everyone. Just because I said those words in that way, doesn’t mean I meant them in that way.” You see, Richard Mourdock didn’t say God intended for the rape to happen. He just said that God intended for the baby to happen … it just happens that the baby happened through rape. I can only assume that when God decides to send a little bundle of joy to Earth, he spins a game-showesque “wheel of conception methods” — and rape is just one of the methods on the wheel. It’s unfortunate, but hey, what are you gonna do? And folks, it wasn’t just the liberals who turned their guns on Mourdock (ironic, considering they want to take them away). Even Mitt Romney’s spokeswoman Andrea Saul distanced the

presidential candidate from Mourdock. “[Mitt Romney] disagrees with Richard Mourdock, and Mr. Mourdock’s views do not ref lect Gov. Romney’s views.” This came after Mitt Romney endorsed Richard Mourdock in a TV commercial. “I spoke from my heart, I spoke with my principle, I spoke for my faith … And if others wish to try to turn those words and somehow use them against me — again, that’s what’s wrong with Washington today,” Mourdock said. Again, reminding us who the real victim is. The oppressive views — according to the left — shared by Mourdock (and, previously, Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin) aren’t what’s wrong with Washington. It’s the people who are offended by him and calling him out for his remarks — that’s what’s wrong with Washington. But despite t his lef t ist v itriol, Mourdock sti l l has faith — good ol’ American faith (the thesaurus I’m using suggests “American” as a synonym for “Christian”). And as all faithful Americans believe, we are all God’s children — even if we were traumatically forced into existence. And this brings me to my final point… Richard Mourdock is God’s son. And last time I checked, the Big Man upstairs has a record of sending his son(s) to take one for the team. Although this was a politically unwanted and traumatic experience for Mourdock, perhaps it was God’s will that it happened. The media have (figuratively) crucified the candidate from Indiana so that he may suffer for voicing a widely-held Republican belief, and now everyone else can be free of gaffes after Mourdock was made into an example. All of this goes to show that the real victims of rape aren’t the women who are left to deal with the physical scars from assaults or the emotional scars from being told their abortion was immoral. The real victims are the few Republican politicians who want to tell women what to do with their bodies, but just haven’t found an eloquent way to say so.

Rom Roast

n case Gov. Mitt Romney wins the presidential election, the victory may be followed by speculation rather than congratulations. This is due to suspicion of Ta g g Romney’s connecMegan t ion to Ellisor the manStaff Columnist ufacturing of electronic voting machines. Mitt Romney’s oldest son, Tagg, is not directly related to the voting machine manufacturer, Hart InterCivic. In fact, his firm, Solamere Capital, does not even have a direct tie to Hart InterCivic. The relationship is rather loose, but nonetheless has generated a feeling of mistrust with some of the public. As stated by Michael Luo and Julie Creswell of The New York Times, just months after Mitt Romney withdrew his bid for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008, Tagg Romney and Spencer Zwick began work to start their private equity fund, Solamere Capital. In two years, with the help of contributions by Mitt Romney and 64 other investors, the firm raised $44 million more than its $200 million goal requirement.

One of Solamere’s partners is H.I.G. Private Equity. According to The Free Press, “H.I.G. Capital directors John P. Bolduk and Douglas Berman are major Romney fundraisers. So is former Bain and H.I.G. manager Brian Shortsleeve. H.I.G. employees have contributed at least $338,000 to Romney’s campaign. Fully a third of H.I.G .’s leadership previously worked at Romney’s old Bain firm.” According to Henry Blodget of Business Insider, H.I.G. made a “controlling investment” in Hart InterCivic in summer 2011. Hart InterCivic is the third-largest voting machine manufacturer in the country and Blodget says it “makes the e-voting machines that will be used in critical counties in Ohio, along with other swing states.” Although Solamere has partnered with H.I.G. on other investments, the company denies rumors that it partnered with the firm on the voting machine investment. To clarify, Tagg Romney founded a company that is partnered with a company that invests in a company that makes voting machines. The correlation appears strained. Despite the lack of conclusive evidence, rumors may be

enough to influence public opinion. Jennifer Brunner, Ohio’s former top election official, told MSNBC.com, “It doesn’t look good for a presidential candidate’s son to be an investor in a voting machine company. That has to do with public trust in the process.” Brunner ser ved as Ohio’s Secretary of State f rom 2 0 07 to 2011. Furthermore, an MSNBC.com ar ticle by Zachary Roth explains that, “In 2007, a test conducted by her office found voting systems run by Hart InterCivic and four other companies had critical flaws that could allow them to be corrupted.” Solamere maintains its innocence, telling MSNBC. com, “Hart InterCivic has a long track record of supporting a fair and open democratic process. Any suggestions that the Company might try to influence the outcome of election results are unfounded.” If Mitt Romney wins the election, it will no doubt be followed by suspicion from the Democratic Party. And what if Governor Romney loses? Well, blaming Ann Coulter’s tweets would be easy enough.

“The correlation appears strained ... [but] rumors may be enough to influence public opinion.”

This morning, as I read the article by staff writer, Taylor O’Quinn, “Talley Dining Options Revealed,” I realized that an important aspect of this piece was left out. It was nothing that was paramount to the information presented in the otherwise well-written article, but simply the omission of one word – staff. O’Quinn writes in the article about the array of “dining venues, lounge areas, and conference spaces for students and faculty to enjoy.” What about “staff?” Staff members provide a myriad of essential resources, and work for and with students and faculty in realizing N.C. State’s mission. Even before becoming a student at N.C. State, prospective students are guided through the admissions and registration process by staff. Once on campus, staff have an important place in each student’s life — whether it be through counseling for scholarship or financial aid opportunities, facilitating residence life experiences and extracu r r icu la r ac t iv it ies, monitoring and advising on the degree process, or making sure students are healthy, fed and the trash is emptied. One would be remiss without acknowledging that staff members are an integral part of N.C. State and imperative for a positive university experience. NC State’s Strategic plan, The Pathway to the Future, acknowledges the necessity of staff, the upcoming accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools will review the contributions of staff, and I would hope that going forward, Technician will include an acknowledgment of staff along with students and faculty.

Alum focuses his camera on the 2008 bailout

Ravi Chittilla Staff Writer

John Titus, an N.C. State alum and star of the documentary film Bailout: The Dukes of Moral Hazard, hadn’t paid his mortgage in months. He believed that major banks and lenders had destroyed a critical piece of information, called a promissory note, to cover up their own corruption. Titus was frustrated with the extensive fraud that led to the collapse of the American f inancial system in 2008, as well as the government bailout which resulted. Along with musician Sergio Mayora, journalist Nicole Erhardt, comedian John Fox and unemployed sidekick Ruben Castillo, Titus embarked on a journey to inform people

banks, Titus argued, were responsible for discarding a financial statement called a promissory note, essentially a promise the consumer makes to the bank that he or she will pay pack the bank. When taken to court over foreclosure, many banks failed to reproduce this critical document, some even claiming it never existed. Titus himself tried to have the bank produce the note, and when they could not, he said, “I stopped paying my mortgage to provoke a lawsuit with my bank.” Titus hopes the documentary will provide a clear picture of the overall situation in 2008. “People might know a little about the credit crisis, a little about fraudulent lending, fraudulent foreclosures, a

little about mortgage backed securities,” Titus said, “but the media has not been able to put together an overall picture to educate the public about what happened.” Titus went on to explore another concept that caused the housing markets to fall into turmoil: credit default swaps. Credit default swaps are essentially insurances on a person’s mortgage, betting on his failure. The insurance purchaser then gets paid if and when the borrower fails to pay his mortgage. The insurance purchaser doesn’t necessarily have any financial interest in a person’s home, but his is able to collect the benefits on that insurance when the home falls through. According to Titus, the whole system is a scam, even though it’s entirely legal.

When asked about government regulation of banks, Titus heavily criticized the ineffective nature and the pettiness of the fines levied against big banks. “When a bank is caught stealing money, like most of them were, a fine is levied against them by the [Securities Exchange Commission],” Titus said. “If you steal money, the only response by the government is [to] fine the fraction of the cost of the actual amount of money stolen.” Titus confronts these and other related issues in the documentary Bailout: The Dukes of Moral Hazard.

His team was one of the few who were accompanied by an interpreter. “It’s kind of striking,” Snyder said. “If you look at it, the very notion that you will not have someone who’s capable of communicating with the people that you’re dealing with is kind of like it discounts the legitimacy of their humanity.” After one incident, Snyder said, a large scale, counterinsurgent mission inadvertently resulted in the killing of about thirty innocent civilians. However, the media reported the civilians as in-

surgents, falsely labeling the mission a success. Snyder said that incident made him realize that he couldn’t always trust what the media said as truth. During his third term in Iraq, Snyder ran a propaganda website with only half-true content. It was presented as a legitimate news organization, so much so that other organizations occasionally picked up the faux stories. The website was one of many methods of promoting U.S. propaganda. The psychological operations, now referred to as military support operations, also put up billboards, put out newspapers, ran radio stations and projected messages through loud speakers. “It’s crazy how much everything around us is an influence game,” Snyder said. “It’s important to look at what’s

Observing a misdirected focus across the country, Snyder wants to represent the U.S. in a better way. As an international studies student, he plans to study in

Germany next year, join the Peace Corps, and eventually enter the Foreign Service as a journalist. “This book has been a very long process of catharsis,” Snyder said. “It’s also shaped who I want to be in the future. I want to let people see the truth about war. It’s not all these euphemisms like ‘freedom of democracy.’ Let’s say what it really is.”

Women’s rights issues under-researched Katie Sanders Senior Staff Writer

As prominent as women’s rights issues are, it was surprising to the N.C. Council of Women that there was such a disparity of research on the subject. “There had not been a status report on women [in North Carolina] since 1996,” said Beth Briggs, the executive director of the N.C. Council for Women. Along with help from several other women’s rights groups, the Council commissioned a $90,000 report conducted by the Institute of Women’s policy research, based out of Washington, D.C. They have collected so much data that it is still being organized. The planned release date is January 2013, though an upto-date summary can be read

online. The study focuses on women’s issues in politics, health, employment, education and earnings. “From 1996 until today there are a couple of really good things that have happened,” Briggs said. For example, education for women has improved to such an extent that more women are now getting graduate degrees than men. More women also have access to preventative health care. The report found that “women are well-represented in the state’s elective executive positions and hold a higher proportion of state legislature seats than in 1996; have experienced a narrowing of the gender wage gap; and are much more likely now than 20 years ago to work in managerial or professional positions and to earn a bachelor’s degree or higher.”

tainly louder than in the past, Briggs explained that women continue to be underrepresented in North Carolina’s state legislature relative to their share of the population. “For young women, you can’t be what you can’t see, and so we need to get more women in office that they can see as role models,” Briggs said. Another of the prominent issues that came up under women’s health was domestic violence. The study found that “in one day, the 51 [domestic abuse] programs served 1,526 victims [while] 287 requests for services went unmet, reflecting a shortage of funds and staff.” The Council found this unacceptable and is now looking for solutions. “It’s all about empowering women,” Briggs said. “They need to be protected, they need to have a place to go, and they need to have a place to take their children.” Domestic violence is difficult to study simply because not all instances are reported, but even the reported numbers show how common in-

cidents are. “One in four women is a victim of domestic violence in her lifetime. One in four women in college is a victim of sexual assault,” Briggs said. Briggs believed that while more funds needed to go to services for victims, this was only treating a symptom, and a large part of decreasing domestic violence would be making women more economically independent. “If a woman can’t leave, can’t support [herself], domestic violence becomes a trap,” Briggs said. Most of all, however, Briggs believed that improving the situation of women in the United States was going to have to be a purposeful change in attitude, first in individuals and then in policies supported by those individuals. “We can’t take our eye off the ball. Young women need to be educated – women and men,” Briggs said. “That’s why we did this study; it’s a way to educate people.”

Wolfpack renews rivalry in Chapel Hill Daniel Wilson Staff Writer

Pack to travel for a pair of ACC matchups The volleyball team will take its show on the road against Wake Forest tonight and Duke on Saturday. In its previous matchups with the Deacs and Blue Devils, the Pack won both of its games at home, 3-0 against Wake and 3-1 against Duke. N.C. State is 2-2 in ACC road games, with those two losses being the only blemishes on its conference record. The Pack has won nine straight ACC games, a school record, and is one game behind Miami and Florida State for the top spot in the conference. SOURCE: N.C. STATE ATHLETICS

On Saturday, N.C. State (52, 2-1 ACC) will travel to Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill to take on the UNC-Chapel Hill Tar Heels (5-3, 2-2 ACC) in the 102nd matchup between these two rivals. The outcome of last year’s encounter in Raleigh resulted in the Wolfpack shutting out UNC, 13-0. State is coming off of a late fourth quarter comeback victory over Maryland, 2018, while the Tar Heels are recovering from handing over the Victory Bell trophy to the Duke Blue Devils, 33-30. Even though the Heels maintain a 63-32-6 record since the rivalry’s first installment in 1894 and has a lead in the games played since the Atlantic Coast Conference was created (3227), the Pack has come back in recent history, winning eight games since the turn of the century and all five games thus far under Head Coach Tom O’Brien, a streak that has turned many heads in the ACC realm. “That’s how rivalries are,” O’Brien said. “You can’t escape [winning streak talks] no matter what side of the ledger you’re on.” Three Wolfpack players were named as ACC Players of the Week after the victory over Maryland. Redshirt sophomore wide receiver Bryan Underwood, who continued his streak of games with a receiving touchdown, was among those who earned this honor. The other players who earned conference honors this week were sophomore defensive tackle T.Y.

McGill and sophomore placekicker Niklas Sade. McGill recorded eight total tackles and two sacks for 16 yards. Sade, who helped secure the victory over Maryland, kicked two field goals in the game, including the game-winning 43-yard field goal with 32 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Graduate student quarterback Mike Glennon will continue to work his magic behind center for the Pack. He has been the clutch player for the Pack this season, especially in the final quarter against conference opponents. Glennon has completed 39 of 70 passes for 443 yards in the fourth quarter against ACC opponents and has executed six scoring drives, four of which were passing scores, including his twoyard touchdown pass to Underwood to win the Florida State game.

“We’ve had a lot of confidence in Mike since the beginning of the season,” Creecy said. “I knew he would do good in those situations because we’ve practiced them in the spring, we practiced them in the summer, we practiced them during summer camp, and coach O’Brien got us prepared for those situations.” UNC sophomore tailback Giovanni Bernard is one of the key threats in the Tar Heel offense that will cause the Pack defense some difficulty. Bernard has accumulated 795 yards on 103 carries with eight touchdowns this season and is currently second in the ACC in points per game. “He’s very impressive right now,” redshirt graduate student safety Earl Wolff said. “He’s a great player, probably the best running back in the ACC, so we just have be to ready

for the competition.” Tar Heel sophomore quarterback Bryn Renner will lead the offense for UNC and is a force to be reckoned with. Renner has completed 165 passes for 2,028 yards and 17 passing touchdowns, which leads the conference. The 118-year-old rivalry returns on Saturday in Chapel Hill at 12:30 p.m. UNC will look to continue its winning streak of four games at home and N.C. State will attempt to continue its five-game streak over the Tar Heels. No matter the outcome, the game will be one of high anticipation and exuberance for both teams. “If you can’t get hyped for the Carolina game, then you shouldn’t even walk on the field that day,” Wolff said.

The Wolfpack fell to 0-10 in ACC play to cap off a 5-14 season against the No. 8 UNC-Chapel Hill Tar Heels by a margin of 4-1. N.C. State started the game with a 4-5-1 formation fielding six freshmen against UNC to negate its 3-4-3 while hoping to use this defensive strategy and score on the counterattack. The game began with majority Tar Heel possession as expected with State spending the majority of the first five minutes sustaining a bombardment. Tar Heel chances were inching closer and closer to the goal until the 6th minute of play when State managed to clear the ball, work it into the midfield five, and sail the ball into open space from the foot of sophomore midfielder Cheyenne Spade. Spade played a long pass into space just in between the Tar Heel back three for freshman forward Caroline Gentry to finish first time into the bottom left corner of the net.
