Tuition rises, again

2013-2014: $8,206

STORY BY MARK HERRING | DESIGN BY TREY FERGUSON

The Board of Trustees approved Chancellor Randy Woodson’s recommendation to increase in-state tuition $290 for the 2013-14 academic years during the board’s November meeting Friday. Student fees for all full-time students will increase $128.60. This most recent increase, a 5.1 percent increase for in-state undergraduates, comes after a series of tuition increases in response to government budget cuts since the start of the recession, with the General Assembly reducing the N.C. State’s statefinanced appropriation by 15.1 percent. Last November, the Board of Trustees approved tuition to increase this academic year by $330. The increases are part of the UNC System Board of Governors’ proposal in February to set up a “catch-up” plan for the 17 member institutions of the UNC System through an increase of $1,500 over the next five years. Provost Warwick Arden said the University lost $80 million from the budget cuts and administrators are looking for ways to “diversify [the University’s] resources.” The increases will affect out-of-state undergraduate and graduate students, who will have to pay $580 next school year, a 3.1 percent increase in their tuition. Student Body President Andy Walsh, a member of the Board of Trustees, cochaired the Tuition Review Advisory Committee with Provost Warwick Arden to make a recommendation to the Chancellor before board approval. Walsh said the board supported an increase of $374, or 6.5 percent, the maximum amount set by the Board of Governors. Walsh said he personally didn’t support the 6.5 percent recommended increase as a member of TRAC, and is glad to see the Chancellor

bring the percentage down to 5.1 percent. “This goes to show the Chancellor’s commitment to keeping school affordable,” Walsh said. “I support him in that effort and for advocating for students. He recognizes the importance to grow our advancement at N.C. State for a multitude of reasons including scholarships and grants and for the state to continue to see the impact an investment in higher education makes to our economy. N.C. State is a land-grant university, and though the state is facing tough economic times, [I believe] college affordability is still important, especially for the largest university in the state.” Though Walsh said he’s disappointed to see a greater financial burden placed on students and their families, he said he supports seeing the majority of the money being invested in the classroom. About 62 percent of the increase will go to improve quality and accessibility of education, with more course offerings and more average number of seats per classroom, according to a University press release. About 25 of the increase will fund scholarships, leaving about 9 percent to graduate student support plans and about 4 percent to raises for faculty. “I’m very happy to see much of this money going back into the classroom,” Walsh said. “It’s good to know that this will impact students in a very positive way.” Woodson stated in a press release that the lack of funding from the state has pushed the University to ask more from students. “The budget shortfalls faced by state governments around the country reflect the financial challenges facing families across our state,” Woodson said. “Providing a worldclass education that opens the doors to opportunity and long-term success remains our task. We must remain committed to keeping

that education as affordable as practical.” The increase for student fees has gone through a rigorous evaluation process throughout the fall semester, and the project to access needs within the Division of Academic and Student Affairs has been the biggest responsibility for the new vice chancellor, Mike Mullen. The Board of Governors placed a 6.5 percent cap on student fees, and this year the increase comes in short at 6.3 percent in total. Student Senate President Regan Gatlin headed the student-fees effort with Mike Mullen, and the Fee Review Committee processed fee applications, which passed through the Student Senate for debate and recommendation. Walsh said he was pleased to see the amount of student input included in the student-fees discussion, and said that the fee evaluation system this year exemplified student involvement in campus affairs. “It just goes to show how administrators value student feedback,” Walsh said. “I’m glad to have seen so many students engage in matters that affect them on campus.” The tuition and fee increases still must pass through the Board of Governors and then the General Assembly, where the increase may be subject to change.

Sympony helps celebrate 125 years Megan Dunton Staff Writer

The Raleigh Civic Symphony celebrated N.C. State’s 125th Anniversary with more than a hundred N.C. State students, alumni and general public attendees in Stewart Theatre Sunday afternoon. The symphony performed three pieces all written around 1887, the year the University was founded. The pieces included Dudley Buck’s Festive Overture on a National Air: The Star Spangled Banner, Gustav Maher’s Songs of a Wayfarer, and Nicholai Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade. Karyn Friedman, a mezzo-soprano, was a featured vocalist in Songs of a Wayfarer. After the first piece, Randolph Foy, director of the Raleigh Civic Symphony, said the music “could have been heard by the first N.C.

Convenience fee tacked on to WolfCopy Taylor O’Quinn Staff Writer

T h is pa st weekend WolfCopy and the AllCampus Office came to an agreement on a lower transaction fee for WolfCopy printing services. Jim Hansen, assistant director for WolfCopy, said he and Sharon Loosman approached the AllCampus Office in October to negotiate lowering the transaction fee for WolfPrint services. The AllCampus Office wanted to change the fees to a 25cent convenience fee for a $5 WolfPrint purchase. After four to five weeks of negotiating, Hansen and Loosman finally con-

vinced the AllCampus Office to agree to a 25-cent convenience fee for a $10 WolfPrint purchase. With more than two dozen students complaining via email, and many more not voicing their opinions, Hansen began to look at the statistics for WolfCopy’s business. “We analyzed our business and realized it was down 37 percent during August and September,” Hansen said. “We knew we needed to make a change.” In August and September there were 32,600 print jobs that were under $10 that averaged about 37 cents per project. The total number of print jobs for August and September was 507,000, which was down by 301,000 compared

to this point last year. Hansen said he was concerned with the loss of student business earlier in the year. He conducted a study and asked a 40 member student focus group in the spring about which of them used their AllCampus account. “Six weeks ago, we conducted a study and discovered that 12,000 WolfCopy student customers did not utilize their AllCampus account,” Hansen said. This created a problem when the AllCampus Office implemented their universal $2 convenience fee when they merged with WolfCopy. Students who only put a few dollars on their AllCampus accounts were not happy with the convenience fee and this

showed in Hansen’s data. “We wanted to make printing easier,” Hansen said. The new convenience fee of 25 cents for a $10 WolfCopy purchase went into effect this past weekend. The 510 copiers and 160 student printers have seen a slight increase in usage since the implementation but solid numbers will not be available until the end of the month. All of the new information can be found online at the WolfPack One Card website. Students can now make deposits for WolfCopy access online or through the WolfPack One Card Office located in Talley Student Center.

New Twitter handle informs drinkers of police whereabouts Katie Sanders Staff Writer

After Alex Waelde, a student at the University of South Carolina, got a drinking ticket for underage possession of alcohol, he didn’t swear off bad behavior to keep his scholarship -- instead, he found a way to avoid future confrontation with authorities and is now helping students in similar situations. His strategy to cop evasion? Twitter. “Thirsty Thursday! What’s everyone doing tonight? Remember to tweet police locations at us and keep your fellow students safe!” That tweet came from the Twitter-feed DrinkingTicket, the N.C. State-specific Twitter feed from Drinking Ticket, Waelde’s new company. Waelde hopes to inform his followers of the locations of police checkpoints. Its recent tweets include things like “Cop on lineberry near u woods,” and “DUI checkpoint on ligon,” and have earned them 832 followers at N.C. State alone. After Waelde researched alcohol related tickets and charges he discovered programs that would allow him to clear his record. This led Waelde to begin giving advice to other students on how to deal with

charges related to alcohol mous sources like bartenders, and underage drinking, and waitresses and bouncers, and he eventually hired lawyers re-tweets it to the rest of its to advise him and started a followers. small business.

called Safe Ride. “In the past a lot of people have said we promote underage drinking, which I do not think is true at all,” Bush said. “It’s inevitable. It’s going to happen in college anyway. What we believe is that a college student’s life shouldn’t be ruined over one bad decision.” Bush also said that contrary to the belief that his service was being used to evade the police while driving under the influence, he had received feedback that students had decided not to drive drunk at all after hearing that the cops were monitoring main roadways. “We prevent DUI by letting people realize that the police are out and they need to get an alternative ride home,” Bush said. Officers of the police department at N.C. State cannot officially state opinions about specific websites, and therefore Chief of Police, Jack Moorman, would not comment on Drinking Ticket in particular, but stated that the N.C. State police department does not condone people using such websites in attempt to dodge traffic regulations and checkpoints. “[Traffic checkpoints] allow us to deter and apprehend a lot of drivers who are impaired or present a safety

risk,” Moorman said. “It’s not a game – it’s not about evading or avoiding apprehension. Anyone who drives while they’re impaired is risking their lives and the lives of other innocent people.” Moorman therefore encouraged students to be socially responsible when it came to using information available to them to get around the law. “It’s not about citations or getting arrested – the primary focus is anything we can do to make students aware of the consequences of driving while impaired,” Moorman said. “The last thing we want to do is have to make a phone call that one of our students was involved in a fatal crash.” However, Drinking Ticket hasn’t changed how the police manage drunk driving - students were already sharing information online, and so Moorman said that websites like Drinking Ticket have not escalated the problem. “Anytime you have a checkpoint, with the use of social media now, information travels very quickly,” Moorman said. Therefore it is simply protocol to change checkpoint locations and times every few hours. Moreover, Drinking Ticket doesn’t appear to have caught on to the N.C. State student

Even though there are followers on Twitter, they do not provide enough information about checkpoints to the Drinking Ticket team for them to tweet much back. “I started following them on Twitter because of a few of my friends did, and I figured it would be a good resource to see where there are speed traps and what not,” Trinity Hampton, a junior in psychology, said. “They haven’t tweeted anything really.

since CSLEPS began hosting the event, according to Becca Bender, graduate assistant for CSLEPS. Within two hours 40-50 people can assemble 10,000 meals during a meal packaging event, and a number of organizations hosts them, including schools, religious congregations and businesses. Just one packaged meal provides six servings, and by

Saturday afternoon volunteers packaged 125,250 meals. Kalavik McNamara, a junior in Spanish education, said the event was the second year in a row she has participated. “It is a really powerful event because we don’t have to worry about a meal in the United States, at least in this area,” McNamara said. In 2009, a study by World Food Program of the United

Nations estimated that more than 1.02 billion people go without enough food to eat, and of those, more than 907 million live in developing countries. In addition, 60 childhood deaths in developing nations result from hunger or malnutrition. Bender said that volunteers must make a $25 donation to participate, which would provide 100 meals alone. With the support of out-

side sponsors, volunteers are usually asked to donate less money, though fundraising has been difficult during the past couple of years, Bender said. Stop Hunger Now provided the supplies for the event, while the donations that come in will be used to pay back the organization. Bender said the event raised about $1500 in donations.

also introduced a $5 ticket price, but they have long since given up on that and raised their student ticket prices dramatically,” Miller said. “N.C. students are still getting a great bargain.” Miller said last year all ticket revenue of $269,000 accounted for 7 percent of the entire ARTS N.C. State budget. “The ticket revenue is such a small part of what we do, and every penny of that revenue goes directly back into making the ARTS N.C. State program possible by supporting the music concerts, the Center Stage performances, the University Theatre performances, and the dance concerts,” Miller said. Several costs that come w it h put t i ng on t hese concerts and performances include advertisement costs,

program costs and paying student technicians to run lights and sound in Stewart Theatre, Miller said. “There are always costs in making the entire package come together,” Miller said. “When someone actually sees the performance, there are lots of behind the scenes expenses to making that concert happen.” Despite all these costs and what little profit is made off of ticket sales, Miller said he believes that bringing arts to such a traditionally science and tech oriented university is crucial and worth it no matter what the cost.

“We prov ide t he ar ts for students regardless of their discipline, but the students engaged in our arts program come from every discipline. If you go to a concert or a performance, you’re going to see students majoring in biochemistry and engineering,” Miller said. “They perform because they really love what they do, and they have a passion for it.” Besides exploring and growing a passion in the arts, Miller said the art programs also provide balance for students. “Many students have told us that being a part of ARTS

N.C. State has provided a balance in their college life. N.C. State is a tough school, a nd t he a r ts prog ra ms provide a wonderful outlet for those students,” Miller said. Future ARTS N.C. State include several performances of Alice in Wonderland performed by members of the University Theatre, a Ladies in Red a cappella concert, and a Quasquicentennial Celebration! 125 Years of Holidays at NC State, a concert presenting vocalists, a cappel la groups, jazz combos and N.C.

It’s time to get creative

ur money, made of cotton and linen fibers, is dirty. And we don’t mean dirty as in “ill-gotten.” It’s really dirty. In fact, around 90 percent of money has traces of cocaine on it — yeast and mold are likely growing on your greenbacks, too. A smaller percentage of bills may even have E. coli, and salmonella growing on them. Gross, right? So you’ll be glad when we tell you you’ll have less dirty money to handle come next year because of the increase in tuition and fees. The increases will total about $419 for instate students ($290 of that represents the 5.1 percent tuition increase) and $709 for out-ofstate undergrads. Most of the tuition money (62 percent, according to a release by the University) will go

Fee money will likely go toward paying off the new Talley Student Center, Carmichael Gym expansions and other campus projects. But no matter how the numbers are broken down, students and their families will still ask, “Why? Why are you doing this to us?” Well, the likelihood of the University getting more money from the state is slim, so families will have to make up for some of the difference out-of-pocket. But, being the cheerful bunch we at the editorial board are, we’d like to tell you that it could have been worse … 1.4

percent worse. The tuition increase recommended to Chancellor Woodson was $374 (a 6.5 percent increase for in-state students). The University will have to make up for that 1.4 percent (and then some) somehow, so Chancellor Woodson and his advisors will have to get creative. We suggest a University bake sale — it could be a joint effort by University Dining and administrators, and the cookies could be in the shape of dollar bills. If that doesn’t work, we could ask not just administrators, but also students, to do the unthinable and lobby for

the money at the General Assembly. Though that may mean missing class or another faculty meeting, we may see results. Present economic uncertainty demands compromise from everyone. Yes, we will have to pay more to attend this university, but there have to be other ways to maintain a strong academic reputation without putting too much burden on families. Chancellor Randy Woodson knows this, and it is clear his focus is to improve the University without asking too much (financially speaking) of students and families. However, there’s no question about it: Woodson and friends are going to have to get creative. Send your thoughts to letters@technicianonline.com.

N.C. State’s association with the Gaza conflict

he current conflict in Gaza could potentially develop into a new saga of bloodshed a s i ntense as the Gaza War of 200809, i f t he violence of the last week Ishan Raval continues as it has. After Deputy Viewpoint Editor week s a nd mont hs of scattered attacks from both the Hamas and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), violence escalated on Wednesday with Israel breaking a truce by killing the Hamas military chief Ahmad al-Jabari. This has led to renewed attacks from both sides. Rocket strikes have been launched from the Gaza Strip into Israel — reaching as far as Jerusalem Friday. The New York Times reported on Sunday that Israel has “pressed its bombardment of the Gaza Strip for a fifth day, deploying warplanes and naval vessels to pummel the coastal enclave.” Israeli president Benjamin Netanyahu has said that Israel is ready for a “significant” expansion of the Gaza offensive. This could result in a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip, with Israeli troops already having gathered on the Gaza border and the call-up of an additional 75,000 reserve troops having been authorized. As of Sunday, 56 people have been killed in this conflict, 53 of these Palestinians — more than 25 of whom were among the elderly, women and children — while hundreds have been injured. The ongoing occupation of Palestinian lands by Israel has resulted in an entire population being dispossessed of its lands, with Palestinian territories today only a tiny fraction of the area accorded by the UN’s 1947 partition plan. With Israel controlling and limiting access to the outside world via land, sea and air, the Gaza Strip has been

Caterpillar is also one of the most prominent invitees to Poole College’s annual career fair. N.C.

Caterpillar isn’t t he only corporat i on we do business with that invests in Israel. However, the amount of esteem bestowed on Caterpillar by our university is shameful, given the direct role Caterpillar plays in the atrocities against Palestinians. As long as Caterpillar is associated with us, by paying tuition to N.C. State, we are all complicit in violating the Geneva Convention. Our support for apartheid and maintenance of friendship with those complicit in war crimes is intolerable, and thus, the only moral action students can take is to call for Caterpillar to leave our university community. Circumstances call for — and have long called for — speaking out and taking action. Silence, after all, is consent.

A guide to Black Friday

hanksgiving is t his week, which means a day of being grateful for all that we have. Whether the day means anything to you on a personal level, the ideals of harmony a nd mutual Jordan respect Alsaqa t hat it Associate embodFeatures Editor ies are worth remembering if you plan to enjoy the consumer holiday that follows: Black Friday. However, even as the stores have grown better at managing the inherent chaos Black Friday brings with it each year, there are still accidents and overzealous customers that give the day a bad reputation. Such incidents could easily be avoided with just a few considerations. If you’re going to go out and brave the late November cold of Friday morning, try to keep in mind the following few tips.

1. HAVE A PLAN You no longer have to wait until Thanksgiving Day to know what items are going to be on sale. Though the newspaper ads are still a valuable resource, most stores have

started posting their entire sale list online weeks ahead of the actual day. Websites such as bfads.net have served as valuable resources for Black Friday shoppers for several years. Find the deals, know your budget and prioritize what stores you want to hit up first. The aisles are going to be crowded, so there won’t be much time for aimless browsing if you want to get through with the day quickly.

2. THERE’S NO NEED TO RUSH Having a fast day is one thing, but there’s no need to push and fight with other customers over stuff. If you want to get one of the big doorbuster deals, then be prepared to show up several hours early to try and claim a ticket. As for the smaller items like DVDs and video games, the stores will have plenty of each item in stock. It happens too often that people start fighting over a toy for their kids that they could easily find another copy of if they ask an employee. Even if there isn’t, you have to go into the stores knowing you might not get everything you want. Instead, focus on the savings you do manage to get.

3. RESPECT THE STAFF If you’ve been to Black Friday before, it shouldn’t be hard to imagine why it’s the worst day of the year for

retail workers. They have to manage a large crowd, be at the store even earlier than the customers and deal with a ridiculously long shift. You don’t want to be the jerk that starts snapping at them over a Blu-ray and making their day even worse. If there are times it seems like they are being strict with you, that’s because they need to keep things from getting out of hand. Deal with it. With some stores starting their sales at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving this year, the staff is going to need a friendly, orderly crowd to deal with if they’re going to get through the day without losing their minds.

4. HAVE FUN I know, this one might seem a bit silly, but the truth is that Black Friday can offer a chance to really enjoy yourself. Whether you’re alone or with a group of friends or family, hitting up the stores and snagging an item at a discount is a great feeling. It can make the long lines and early hours seem worth it if you go in with a good attitude. Black Friday may not be an official holiday, but it’ll continue to come each year. If you know how to make the most of the day, though, you’ll be able to get through it with little hassle. Who knows, you might even find yourself having a good time.

What would you like to see your tuition and fees money go towards? BY CHRIS RUPERT

reduced to an impoverished land, with 80 percent of its population consisting of refugees. The U.S. has given its unwavering support to the brutal Israeli settlement of Palestinian lands, even while the international community has decried this encroachment and the treatment of the Palestinian people as a violation of international human rights. However, as part of this university, we are not without blood on our hands. One of the tactics used by the IDF to seize control of Palestinian lands has been the demolition of houses using armored bulldozers, usually manufactured by Caterpillar Inc. — a company enjoying an esteemed position in our university community. Since 1967, in violation of international law, more than 27,000 homes have been demolished i n Palestinian lands including Gaza, mainly using Caterpillar equipment. Apart from the Palestinian lives Caterpillar equipment has taken, on March 16, 2003, a Caterpillar D9 rode twice over American college student and peace activist Rachel Corrie and crushed her to death as she tried to protect a house from demolition (in plain sight, while wearing bright orange). Since at least 1989, Caterpillar has been aware of the destruction and oppression its equipment has supported, but has expressed no regret for lending support to such war crimes, let alone take action to stop its support. Jim Owens is the former Chairman and CEO of Caterpillar Inc. He served in this position from February 2004 to November 2010, an

Sisters design for Pack women Katie Sanders Senior Staff Writer Shewolf, a clothing line co-founded by sisters Tara and Amanda Thompson, originally came about in an unintentional way. “We never thought of ourselves as entrepreneurs,” Tara Thompson, a graduate student in educational research and policy analysis, said. Amanda Thompson didn’t study business either, and graduated from N.C. State with a master’s degree in adult education. Their slogan, Shewolf, was first created just for personal use to show their love for N.C. State. “I kind of felt like a wolfpack woman, and so in my head I was like ‘Man, I’m a shewolf,’ and I actually put that on my license plate,” Tara Thompson said. When Amanda saw the slogan she loved it and put it on her license plate as well. “Every time we would go somewhere around campus everybody thought it was cool and would take pictures of it,” Tara Thompson said. “They kept saying ‘You got to do something with that.’” So about a year ago the sisters decided to put “Shewolf” into action by using it as a slogan for clothes for female students. “They just took the boy logo and put it on girls’ clothing,” Tara Thompson said. The sisters therefore decided to start a more feminine

line, one that would capture what they believed were the qualities of a shewolf student: strong, smart and fearless. The original plan was to make Ms. Wuf the centerpiece of the line. However, despite her popularity, there is no official Ms. Wuf graphic. “We were incredibly disappointed, sad and a little frustrated. Our college is 43% women, in an engineering school and we can’t use our female mascot,” Tara Thompson said. Instead of causing the sisters to give up, this just further inspired them to continue with the project. They moved on to plan B: creating their own slogans and designs. This included creating their own wolf that appears occasionally in their designs, Sasha. “She’s a little sassy,” Amanda Thompson said. The sisters said they are always brainstorming for designs and usually find inspiration in the Wolfpack culture of their friends and families. “Sometimes she’ll text me at 3 in the morning and say ‘Oh, just thought of this!’,” Amanda Thompson said. The sisters have also been allowed to use a younger version of Ms. Wuf, the Ms. Wuf wolfpup, which does have a graphic. “We just said, well, if we can’t have the adult Ms. Wuf, we’ll take the Ms. Wuf wolfpup and work with that,”

Amanda Thompson said. However, as the project grew the Thompson sisters realized that it was becoming more than a clothing line to them. “It needed to be about empowering and encouraging women,” Tara Thompson said. The eventual goal is to set up a non-profit with scholarships for women. Currently, a percentage of the company’s profits go to women’s charities. The first charity they

chose was the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. “She is the epitome of being a shewolf,” Amanda Thompson said. “She was a very generous and very courageous woman and impacted so many other women in her lifetime.” “I can’t think of anyone who has not been touched by cancer, and we have as well, so we feel like it’s a worthy cause and we are excited to be a part of it,” Tara Thompson said.

The sisters also find women at N.C. State that they believe exemplify being a shewolf and post short paragraphs about their examples on their website. The sisters said it has proven to be a valuable bonding experience. “We’ve always been kind of close, but this has been really cool,” Tara Thompson said. “We have found that we complement each other very well with our skills and personalities,” Amanda Thompson said. “Tara is the creative

mind behind Shewolf, she’s the idealist of the two, and I tend to be the realist and business side of Shewolf.” The project has become a family business, even pulling in Tara Thompson’s son Turner and daughter Avery. “[Avery] tells all her teachers and friends about Shewolf and when she gets older I think she wants to be a part of the company,” Tara Thompson said. “We feel like we are part of a pack.”

Homebrewers come together for charity Nehemiah Chen Staff Writer

A river of beer was poured over the weekend in order to raise money for the hungry. Homebrew for Hunger saw around 450 people gather at West End Public in Chapel Hill Saturday. Homebrew for Hunger is an annual event to raise money for charity. According to organizers, the event showcased the beer of 32 different homebrewers and eight commercial breweries; all of whom freely donated their beer and time for the event. One local homebrewer, Adam Rihner, had three brews ready for the event; a fig blonde ale, chamomile whiskey and butternut fennel ale. “The butternut fennel ale is a take on the pumpkin ales, but instead of pumpkin I use butternut; instead of the pumpkin pie spices, I use fennel, coriander, black pepper

and molasses,” Rihner said. As part of that program, “It’s actually based on a soup Sheppard and his graduate recipe that my wife makes, students research fermentaso I took all the ingredients tion.

and homebrew kit supplier, Fifth Season Gardening, spearheaded the event. People Offering Relief for Chapel Hill-Carrboro Homes was chosen this year as the sponsored charity. “We started it last year, simply it was designed to be a homebrew festival modeled after modern [local] beer festivals,” Ethan Johnston, one of the organizers of the event, said. “This year we teamed up with PORCH. We’ve chosen hunger and food relief organizations. Last year we worked with the food bank of eastern and central North Carolina.” “PORCH is a grassroots all volunteer effort that identifies families, community programs and food pantries,” Christine Cotton, one of the three founders of PORCH, said. “We identify what the needs are and then we reach out to our community members and our friends and our

Externships create opportunities for engineering students Lindsey Schaefer Staff Writer

There are many ways in which students can advance their opportunities to attain jobs after they graduate from college. Internships, which are commonly offered through N.C. State, are given for students to participate in supervised training to help them qualify for a field they aspire to work in. Another way in which N.C. State has begun to help students is with the Externship Program offered to Engineer-

ing students. Externships, unlike internships, are one day job-shadowing opportunities for first year engineering students. Leslie Bowman, a career counselor at N.C. State, started doing research for the program in 2007-2008 when other schools began to create a program like this one. The first pilot program was started in 2009 and was offered to nine students with six employers. The program has blossomed and become much larger; the spring 2012 program had 89 students and

12 employers. “One purpose of the program is to help students decide if they’ve chosen the right major or the wrong major or if they’d even like to add on a minor,” Bowman said. “You’d rather change as a freshman than as a senior.” The program helps students make career connections and establish networks for future employment, and teaches students how to apply their Engineering major into a working environment with people of similar backgrounds. Mark Wooten, junior in

mechanical engineering, applied and completed two externships, one with Archer Western, general contracting, and another with TLV Corporation, a steam trap industry in south Charlotte. “The program really gave me the opportunity to land an internship,” Wooten said. “If it hadn’t have been for the externship program, I never would have gotten exposed to the company that I landed my internship with.” While in the program, students are able to talk with people about what is done in

the company on a daily basis, the history and progress of the company and the individual jobs within the company. Students get to see as many aspects of the company as they can in the day. Matt Hyman, sophomore in civil engineering, participated in an externship program with Crowder Construction in Apex, N.C. He was able to receive a co-op through the company and will gain a year of work experience necessary to attain a Professional Engineer license. Co-ops are less likely to be offered than ex-

ternships and internships and are not currently available for all majors. “It helped me realize where I wanted to be when I graduate ... gave me insight on what I could do with my degree,” Hyman said. “I didn’t know what went into the process until the externship came along.” The externship program will begin its fifth year April 10, 2013. Registration will open on ePACK in January and the program is offered on a first come-first serve basis.

Comic book fans flock to NC Comicon Young Lee Associate Features Editor

Although some may think that comic books have a tendency to decrease social interaction, with the intimacy of comic book stores and with hyper-social comic book conventions, or “cons,” for many fans, the subculture that revolves around comic books is incredibly social. And with the growing popularity of comic book conventions such as NC Comicon that took place at the Durham Convention Center Saturday and Sunday, comic book fans are finding more opportunities to meet up and celebrate their love of comics and other aspects of pop culture. With its fourth show in three years, NC Comicon showed the Triangle area that there are thousands of comic book fans thirsting for ways to celebrate their love for comics. Although final numbers have yet to be released, according to Jeremy Tarney, chief operations operator of Ultimate Comics and an organizer of NC Comicon, attendance is projected to break 3,000, the largest NC Comicon ever. “Every time I looked into the crowd, I was blown away by how many people have wanted to do this event,” Tarney said. “It has been really great. There has been a lot of stuff going on and I’m really glad to have been a part of this.” With a number of exhibits such as life-sized replicas of the Batmobile from Batman and the Mystery Machine from Scooby-Doo, panels, contests as well as comics and posters to buy, Tarney said that with NC Comicon, organizers hoped to have something for different kinds of fans. “Basically if you have some sort of fandom that you really enjoy, there’s a good chance that you’d some sort of it here,” Tarney said. “It’s a place where you can come, have fun, be yourself and just really enjoy all of these things that you love.” According to Tarney, NC Comicon started when Alan Gill, the owner of Ultimate Comics, felt that he could

Despite setting records, Tigers tame Pack Swimming and diving finishes first in Chapel Hill

Daniel Wilson Staff Writer

Both the men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams earned the top spot at the 2012 Janis Hape Dowd Nike Cup Invitational. The men’s team finished with 1195.5 points and the women ended with 933. The Pack will return to action at the USA Swimming Nationals in Austin, Tx., Nov. 29 through Dec. 1. SOURCE: N.C. STATE ATHLETICS

Volleyball takes weekend matches The Wolfpack defeated Virginia, 3-0, and Virginia Tech, 3-2, in its final home matches of the season. With those wins, the Pack improved its record to 22-8 overall and 12-7 in the ACC. It’s now assured the Pack will finish no worse than fourth in the conference. SOURCE: N.C. STATE ATHLETICS

The dark cloud of defeat has a silver lining to it — although the Wolfpack lost to the Clemson Tigers, 62-48, many records were broken by both teams. The 110 total points was a Clemson Memorial Stadium record, but seven points shy of the conference record set the previous week by Georgia Tech and UNC-Chapel Hill. State’s 48 points were the most in school history for a loss. The 62 points allowed and the 754 total offensive yards by Clemson were the highest the Pack defense has allowed in school history. Graduate student quarterback Mike Glennon completed 29 of 53 passes for a career high 493 yards and five touchdowns, tied for another career high and the school record. Glennon’s passing yardage broke the “Death Valley” record for most passing yards by any quarterback. Clemson redshirt junior quarterback Tajh Boyd threw 30 completed passes for 426 yards and five touchdowns. Boyd also ran for 105 yards and three touchdowns. He was responsible for all eight Clemson touchdowns, a school record and an ACC record. The combined 531 yards by Boyd was also a school record. “We just could not get to [Boyd], and that’s something the defense has always depended on” head coach Tom O’Brien

said. “He’s talented. There’s no question about it.” Both Glennon and Boyd threw for more than 400 yards, a first in conference history. This is also the first time two schools had a 400-yard passer, a 100-yard rusher, and two 100-receivers in the same contest. Freshman running back Shadrach

Thornton rushed for 114 yards on 21 carries and one touchdown in his second start for the Wolfpack. This marks the second game and the third time this season Thornton has rushed for more than 100 yards. Clemson redshirt senior running back Andre Ellington ran 130 yards on 22 carries.

Redshirt senior wide receiver Tobias Palmer had an immaculate performance against the Tigers, catching seven passes for a career high 219 yards and three touchdowns. The 219 receiving yards were the thirdmost in school history, topped only

Despite riding high on two blowout wins against Penn State and UMass in the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds of the Puerto Rico Tip-Off in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, the No. 6 N.C. State Wolfpack could not finish the job and fell to Oklahoma State in the tournament final, 76-56, leaving it with a second-place finish in the tournament. Freshman forward T.J. Warren was named to the AllTournament team. In the decisive 72-55 win against the Nittany Lions, State shot at 50 percent from the field and scored 22 points off the bench, all of them being courtesy of Warren, in comparison to two from Penn State. The Wolfpack also came away with the win despite being edged out in the rebounding category of the box score, 34-33. Despite scoring seven points, going 1-for-10 from the field, and notching four assists in the first game of the tournament, junior guard Lorenzo Brown took command of the offense against the Minutemen, posting a double-double of 11 points

and 10 assists. He also swiped away three steals. N.C. State also dominated the paint against UMass, scoring 50 points in the paint to the Minutemen’s 37. It also out-rebounded UMass, 41-38. State was outmatched on the glass, 45-34, in the final contest and OK State guard Marcus Smart led the way for the Cowboys. He scored a game-high 20 points, pulled down seven rebounds and dished seven assists. Le’Bryan Nash also had a standout game for the ‘Boys, scoring 23 points. Freshman guard Rodney Purvis had a stand-out game for State, scoring 16 points and ripping away two steals. Purvis was the only starter to register double-digit scoring totals. Brown’s performance on the defensive end was also a silver lining for the Pack, as he nabbed four steals from Oklahoma State. In its two wins, Warren shined off the bench, scoring 43 total points. He also scored 15 points in the loss for the Pack. Warren currently leads the team in scoring at 17 points per game. Junior forward C.J. Leslie, the Preseason ACC Player of the Year, didn’t perform to the lofty standards set for him in the final game. Leslie
