Notable alumni spoke about the past, present and future of the manufacturing industry with faculty and students Monday at the Institute for Emerging Issues’ forum, ManufacturingWorks@NCState. The Institute for Emerging Issues partnered with Technician to present the forum, which focused on engaging students in a resurgence manufacturing landscape. Marshall Brain, founder of HowStuffWorks ; Warren Ginn, founder of GinnDesign and Brooks Raiford, CEO and president of the N.C. Technology Association, were among the speakers at the event. Brain was the keynote speaker of the event, sharing his expertise in entrepreneurship and visits to more than 40 American factories while working with National Geographic. He said modern factories are fully automated and are employing technology to their advantage. He visited a flour-mill factory whose camera system photographed each grain of wheat to validate it, and if it didn’t meet criteria, it would be
ousted. “The amount of precision and scrutiny you can get in quality control is just outstanding,” Brain said. “One could make a good argument that [having automated manufacturing work floors] is a good way of getting humans out of harm’s way.” In the past, humans were solely involved in the manufacturing process, said Brain. But now, with fully automated plants, companies from North Carolina are able to insource jobs in the United States. Manufacturing is changing radically and North Carolina is changing around it, said Gart Davis, co-founder and partner of Spoonflower, a textiles printing firm in Durham. Davis echoed Brain’s comments about globalized companies in the state that have brought their production plants back to the United States due to advances in automation. “Companies can now inshore jobs, instead of sending them off,” Davis said. “It has allowed many startup companies to take advantage of new opportunities.” The invention of 3-D printing allows for ideas to come to life almost

O’Rear’s campaign manager calls it quits Sam DeGrave News Editor
S
tudent Body President candidate Dway ne O’Rear’s campaign manager resigned Monday after O’Rear decided not to apologize to those he offended with his hateful social media posts. Alex Canoutas, a junior in international studies and O’Rear’s former campaign manager as of Monday, said he decided to distance himself from the campaign when O’Rear did not follow his advice to “man up” and apologize for his remarks. The following is a Q&A with Canoutas in which he discusses why he left the campaign he helped run and what contributed to the downfall of O’Rear.
After students began posting screen shots of O’Rear’s inflammatory Facebook posts and tweets, what was your advice for O’Rear? “I told him it would be in his best interest to make a public apology,
just to man up to his actions and just take fault for what was said. Granted some of the posts were from two years ago but still he offended a lot of people.”
What was your position with the campaign?
Will O’Rear apologize to those he offended?
Do you still hold that position?
“I talked to Dwayne on the phone earlier today, and I told him ‘Dwayne, the campaign is over, dude. You messed up. You lost so much support. You know that meme of your conversation had 300 shares.’ “I just told him ‘It’s over, dude. You need to protect your image and reputation at this school. You need to apologize to get people not to think so lowly of you anymore. If you don’t say anything it’s like you’re standing by those views and you still have them. I’ve been your buddy since freshman year, and I know that’s how you were then, but that’s not how you are now, so you’ve just got to issue a heartfelt apology to let people know that.’”
“I told him, ‘I do not feel comfortable endorsing someone who does not apologize for messing up, and for that, I am unable to continue supporting you. You’re still my friend, but I can’t be a part of that. I can’t be affiliated with someone who holds those kinds of negative views.’ “I was getting messages from my friends studying abroad, students here, people who go to different schools, even my mom was letting me know ‘this Dwayne kid is really saying some messed up things.’ I just told Dwayne, ‘I can’t keep getting these messages. I support you as a friend, but this is not good.’”
“Dwayne appointed me as his campaign manager.”

It is a common misconception that off-campus students are robbed of the “college experience.” But truthfully, they just have to work that much harder to connect. On-campus students are more likely to be involved with campus organizations, but many commuters are also involved on campus, said Tim Blair, associate director of university housing. Blair said living on campus makes resources more accessible, but is not the best option for all students. “Living off campus requires a lot more energy because you have to ask what is going on,” Blair said. Hannah Evans, a sophomore in elementary education, said she prefers living off campus and does not mind the 15-minute commute. “I have more freedom than people on campus,” Evans said. “Seeing as I don’t live on campus, I don’t have all of the restrictions like music, noise . . . a roommate.” Evans said she does not feel disconnected from the college community. She looks at fliers posted around campus to stay informed about the University’s events and activities. Hana Chmielewski, a graduate student in civil engineering, lives in a duplex across from Gorman Street. She said she is happy with her current living situation, but enjoyed residence-hall life as an undergraduate at Vanderbilt University as well. “For me, socially it was preferable to live on campus at the beginning of my undergraduate career, but now I know friends who I can room with,” Chmielewski said. Unlike distant commuters, Chmielewski said she enjoys walking and biking to campus most days. Joe Murray, a senior in German and mathematics, lives in Watauga Residence Hall and says living on campus has helped him be more involved. “How much you do on campus is your personal choice, but there is more of a barrier for commuter students,” Murray said. Wolf Trails and the Union Activities Board recognized the challenge of involving commuters on campus and organized three commuter “grab n’ go breakfasts” earlier this year. The breakfasts were meant to build camaraderie among commuters, according to transportation planner Michael Ousdahl. “A lot of commuters just come and leave campus after classes, so this would help build the commuting experience,” Ousdahl said. UAB supplied food and Wolf Trails informed commuters about transportation options. They hope to expand the program by including University Dining and University Recreation and offering another

The 10th annual Muscular Dystrophy Association’s Muscle Walk fundraiser was held outside the Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts in Raleigh last Saturday. This event brought together families, businesses and campus organizations across the Triangle to support this special cause. What started as a network of no more than three families showing their support for the MDA, this event now attracts hundreds of people
every year. By 10 a.m., crowds were already gathered around the center, eager to participate in this fundraiser. With food, fun and music, the walk produced an atmosphere of enthusiasm and energy among everyone present. The Triangle Muscle Walk was established in 2003 with just a handful of MDA families meeting in Cary Towne Center to do exactly the same thing as this year, but on a much smaller scale. With dozens of families and businesses involved in this year’s fundraiser, the impact of the MDA in the Triangle area and beyond is continually increasing.
With more than $35,000 raised this year alone, the money goes towards everything from medical research to sending kids with muscular dystrophy to summer camp. Blake Stansell, a freshman in human biology, talked excitedly about his first year participating in the walk. “I had a great time and it was awesome to see all the hope and support of every person there,” Stansell said. “You could definitely feel the energy, and it was cool to see how many people were involved.” After everyone completed the registration phase, participants did approximately six

breakfast April 4. For commuters, gas is expensive and it is easy to run late. Evans said parking also causes problems on weekends and at night for those who park in the commuter lot at Varsity. “When Varsity [bus] stops running at night, that’s a big problem,” Evans said. “If you get stuck here at night you might as well walk.” Murray said he wakes up only five minutes before class starts and has a place to stay if he has to study late at night.
Finances played a role in Murray’s living on campus as well: Unlike apartments, all of the finances related to living on campus are paid at one time and stay at one set price, he said. Privacy can be another factor. Evans said she did not want to give up her privacy in order to live on campus, but Murray said he maintained his privacy by securing a single-room in Watauga. Approximately 8,000 N.C. State students choose to live in residence halls on campus, while the other 26,000 live elsewhere. Though a large majority of N.C. State students seem to prefer off-campus living

panies aren’t traditionally environmentally friendly,” McCann said. “We’re trying to change that.” McCann’s company is looking to use single use bioreactors instead of large vessels to minimize energy used during cleaning and sanitation processes. GoPro is trying to use more paper-based products and is taking steps toward
sustainability, said Clearman. Rashida Hodge, strategy lead for IBM, said IBM is also becoming more focused on being environmentally conscious and friendly. After the panel discussions, students and faculty stayed behind to continue discussing how to engage students in manufacturing and make rebranding into a
sexier, more appealing field. At the end of the day, those in attendance discussed how to redefine manufacturing, and leaders from the Institute for Emerging Issues will use their feedback to keep the dialog — which was exemplified today — flowing.

Students find solace at Take Back the Night STORY BY WILL E. BROOKS | PHOTO BY PATRICK WHALEY Victims of interpersonal violence found healing through personal accounts from students and guests Monday night in Witherspoon Student Center. Take Back The Night gathered opponents of interpersonal violence — rape, domestic violence, stalking and similar abuse — out of respect for victims and prevention for the future. Several N.C. State students, who will remain anonymous, told their stories of interpersonal violence. None said that their accounts took place on campus. It is estimated that 429 students at N.C. State were sexually assaulted last year. Victims are often ignored or doubted by family mem-
bers and do not report these crimes to the police. Ashley Simons-Rudolph, director of the Women’s Center, said the event is meant to be a safe place for victims to talk about their experiences in an accepting environment. “We, as a Wolfpack community, both rally around survivors and work to prevent future incidents,” SimonsRudolph said. Though friends and family often doubt victims’ rape accounts, the counseling center, GLBT Center and Women’s Center, all of which were present, said they are here to listen. Simons-Rudolph said to prevent interpersonal violence, organizations and students must be cooperating.

“It is a time for us to come together and say that interpersonal violence has no place on our campus,” Simons-Rudolph said. Student accounts displayed how real sexual assault is at N.C. State. One student said she was forced to have sex with a man whom she had consensually had sex with previously. She emphasized that having a sexual encounter once is not an open invitation for the future. Many victims were friends with or romantically involved with their assailants and did not expect to be raped.

oday at noon, students will have the opportunity to elect the next person who will represent them as a whole. We encourage you to take part. The next student body president will be the face of the student population and will have the power to make some big decisions. “You’re a conduit of information from students to administration to alumni,” current Student Body President Andy Walsh told Technician. “You have a really big voice at the table. A lot of other universities don’t let students have the voice that we have. Students should really rally around having that voice. It’s special.” The unofficial motto of this year’s candidates is “students first.” Looking back, though, it seems as if this clichéd phrase has become the veil behind which tuition has increased while student government transparency has decreased. At times, student body presidents have been nothing more than mascots for N.C. State. These chief executives go down in history, and we want someone who will make a name for themselves and our University. But we’ll quickly hop off our soapbox.

A new appreciation for manufacturing
T
echnician partnered Monday with the Institute for Emerging Issues to present a student-focused forum called ManufacturingWorks@NCState, an event that discussed the resurgence of manufacturing in the state and its impact on Mark Herring our economy, education sysEditor-in-Chief tem and future. The event came about after Technician published a critical editorial of the Institute’s Emerging Issues Forum that was held in downtown Raleigh in February and attracted hundreds of industry leaders, educators and politicians. The problem — among the sea of old men in suits — was the lack of student engagement. Sure, manufacturing may seem like a hard thing to dress up into a sexy field, but its renaissance in North Carolina is bringing steady, high-paying jobs and genuinely cool companies. After reading our editorial, the Institute’s leadership reached out to Technician and proposed a student forum. I jumped at the opportunity, and I am very satisfied with student turnout and participation in Monday’s forum. Thank you to all who attended, and many thanks to the panelists — all alumni in the industry — who came to talk.
three, we, as an editorial board, endorse Lauryn Collier. We’ve long pleaded that Student Government become more transparent, and Collier seems like the girl to take us there. “I like to think I’m very visible [on campus],” Collier said in a February interview with Technician. “I’m always on campus even though I live off campus. I’m here all day every day even on the weekends and during breaks.” That’s the attitude we want in our next SBP. Of course, we like her for other things too, such as her goal of communication among the various colleges, her excellent track record as Union Activities Board president and her clear desire to put the student population first — we’ll still hold on to our idealistic tendencies here. “As student body president . . . you represent all the students all the time,” Collier told Technician. She’s right, and we think she’d be great at it. But that’s just our opinion. From noon today to noon tomorrow, you can voice yours.
Luckily, manufacturing is not the problem we’re discussing, but its revival presents challenges our generation will have to confront. Though I am not an engineer — I study Spanish and biological sciences and am slated to go to dental school next year — I found the event to be informative and interesting. We all hold a stake in this: Every manufacturing job brings in five others in service or supply-chain industries. Even the products we are making now are fascinating. One of our panelists, Meghan McCann, works in biotechnology and is producing vaccines and antibodies from cell cultures. Chris Clearman, an alum in industrial design, works for GoPro, a leader in wearable camera equipment. These companies contrast with what manufacturing used to be like. No longer is North Carolina a textiles, tobacco and furniture state. And luckily, through a public emphasis on education, research and development, our state has been able to withstand economic ruin and progress since the failure of these industries. After the event, many of the students and faculty who participated requested to do an event like this again. I am open to suggestions and would like to continue informing and engaging students in matters that affect us all.
DOMA & Prop 8 deny more than marriage, but equal rights, too
N
owhere in t he Constitution are we, as Am�erican citizens, granted the right to marry. Thus, it is not unconstitutional to deny marriage to same-sex couples — or straight couples, for Megan that matter. Ellisor Denying Deputy marriage Viewpoint Editor rights to a particular group of people is a civil rights issue. “Gay people live in 50 Americas,” said CNN columnist John Sutter. “Some states allow same-sex couples to adopt. Others, such as Mississippi, ban it. . . . Some states protect GLBT tenants from being evicted because of who they are. Others, such as Louisiana and Montana, don’t seem to think that matters.” The list goes on. The United States’ lack of unity on this issue is similar to racial issues of the early 20th century. In some states, a person was considered black if they had one-fourth black ancestry. In others, the rule was one-eighth or one-sixteenth. And in others still, like Tennessee and Virginia, people were black if they had “one drop” of Negro blood. As pointed out in California Newsreel’s three-part documentary, Race — The Power of an Illusion, a person would literally change races by crossing state lines. But just as it is federal law that you cannot fire, evict or otherwise discriminate

This is hurtful specifically to gay couples running for office. Members of the Caplin & Drysdale’s Political Law Group filed a brief in United States v. Windsor. The brief describes how DOMA “unfairly burdens the freedoms of political association, which is protected under the First Amendment.” They argued that DOMA is damaging to gay couples running for office because “married gay and lesbian candidates who run for federal office may not fund their campaigns using personal resources that are available to other married candidates.” They also found that “individuals in same-sex marriages may not attend certain political meetings or interact with certain political groups that are open to other married citizens.” Furthermore, domestic partners cannot jointly file their federal taxes. Therefore they cannot enjoy some of the benefits of filing jointly, such as lower taxes or a potentially higher standard deduction. The two court cases regarding gay marriage will be decided by the end of June. While marriage may not be protected in the Bill of Rights, it is unfair to allocate this privilege only to heterosexuals. Same-sex marriage is as wrong as an African American sitting at the front of the bus — which is not wrong at all.

How influential do you think the student body president is at changing N.C. State policies? BY CHRIS RUPERT
someone on the basis of race, it should be federal law that you cannot do any of these things on the basis of sexual orientation. This week, the Supreme Court will hear two cases about gay marriage. First is Proposition 8, California’s 2008 ballot initiative similar to North Carolina’s Amendment One, which defines marriage as between a man and a woman. It passed with 52 percent of the vote, but last February the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down Prop 8 because it “serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California and to officially reclassify their relationship and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples.” The Supreme Court will also hear United States v. Windsor, which challenges the Defense of Marriage Act. Just like Prop 8, DOMA, signed into law by President Bill Clinton, defines marriage as between a man and a woman. However, unlike Prop 8, this case “does not address whether there is a fundamental right under the Constitution to gay marriage,” according to ABC News. No, marriage may not be a right explicitly stated in the Constitution. It’s a privilege. However, this privilege has subsequent benefits that a person should not be denied as a result of his or her sexual orientation. Same-sex couples cannot receive marriage benefits because they cannot marry.

A comment against N.C.’s budget In response to the state budget proposal, the North Carolina Student Power Union finds it necessary to remind Gov. Pat McCrory, state budget director James “Art” Pope and the members of the state legislature of the purpose of our state government: Serve all the people of North Carolina. Massive budget cuts to education and social programs will have disproportionately negative consequences for people of color, youth, women, and poor and working families. Together these groups decidedly outnumber the few wealthy individuals who alone will benefit from schemes such as repealing the estate tax. The UNC System already suffered a $414 million loss in funding during the 2011-12 academic year, resulting in big tuition increases. To call on our public universities to absorb an additional $135 million in cuts is unacceptable. Unemployment benefits were already cut by $780 million last month, and federally funded Medicaid for thousands of low-income North Carolinians that would have saved our state millions was refused by N.C. legislators. In a state where one in six residents live in poverty and workers are not guaranteed a living wage, restricting access to education and aid for those already struggling is a step backward. Corporations and the wealthy should pay their fair share so that our society’s essential programs can be fully funded. The North Carolina Student Power Union invites all North Carolinians to join us in demanding that our public officials prioritize meeting the basic needs of the people.
Bryan Perlmutter senior, business administration
McCrory ignores parks and recreation This past week there have been several articles in response to the release of Gov. McCrory’s budget proposal for the upcoming year. When looking at the categories receiving significant funding, there’s a critical piece missing in the coverage of McCrory’s budget: funding for our state’s parks and forests. Our conservation programs took a large hit in this year’s budget with a nearly 40 percent reduction. Many N.C. State students enjoy North Carolina’s gorgeous landscapes and beautiful sights. Our natural treasures are what make North Carolina so different and special. On a nice spring day, I enjoy going outside and visiting one of the many parks we have all grown to love. It’s a nice break from the busyness of the school week and a chance to enjoy simplistic beauty. We can’t risk the destruction of these pristine places now — or ever. I urge my fellow students to contact their elected officials in the General Assembly and ask for more funding for our land and water conservation programs. Not only will the money be used to maintain the parks, forests and beautiful natural places now, but it will also help keep these places in an excellent condition for future generations to enjoy.

self-expression, to insure the personal freedom and general welfare of the Student Body and to continue in our tradition of responsible selfgovernment.” This is the end goal that all of our elected student representatives should strive for. Last week, our current Student Body President, Andy Walsh, released a statement that wholeheartedly endorsed one of the three students running for the office of Student Body President. He said in the statement that the SBP is a “position who can fight for students who may share a different opinion from their own and advocate with professionalism 24 hours each day.” If this were actually the case, Andy would have spared us his opinion. I find it ironic that our Student Body President, the person we chose to advocate for all students, would release such a biased and uninformed statement. This endorsement came in the middle of the campaign, prior to the Diversity Office and Technician debates. Furthermore, he mentions that he believes this candidate has a “platform that is achievable,” a statement that is comical when comparing that platform to Andy’s old one. Andy may not have broken any written rules, but he did break a lot of unwritten ones. I unfortunately cannot take back my endorsement and vote from last year, but thankfully this is another year and a new election. I encourage you to do the research on your own. Many empty promises have been given and will be given throughout the remainder of this election, but none of these will compare to the one Andy made when he was sworn in. We all now know who our Student Body President wants to win, but is this really who the students want? David Meyer Treasurer, Union Activities Board

Freshman prepares for lead male role Stephanie Milosh Correspondent
University Theatre recently began rehearsals for its upcoming production of The Heidi Chronicles, and Patrick Narmi, a freshman in First Year College, has been working hard to master his part as one of the lead male roles, Peter Patrone. Narmi will be starring alongside Diana Quetti, a junior in communication who plays Heidi, and Jason Croder, a sophomore in chemical engineering who plays Scoop, the other lead male role. Quetti has been on stage multiple times since her freshman year, but this is the first University Theatre show for both males. “Some students come to State with a lot of experience in high school theatre or community theatre already,” Allison Bergman, assistant director of University Theatre, said. “So, it’s not that unusual for a freshman to be cast in a large role if they are right for the role.” Narmi participated in theatre throughout high school. He said he now looks forward to using his talents to bring Peter to life. “I’m probably most excited about finding a new ‘theatre family,’” Narmi said last week. “I feel like it’ll be re-

ally cool and exciting to get that back and have something that’s familiar, but still new and exciting at the same time.” The Heidi Chronicles, written by Wendy Wasserstein, is a feminist story following the lead character, Heidi, through the rapidly changing lifestyles and ideologies of the 1960s onward as she struggles with relationships and conflicts. Heidi meets Peter early in the play, and the
two become lifelong friends. After finding out that Peter is gay, Heidi is conflicted about her romantic feelings toward him, but the two eventually overcome all problems. “[Peter] and Heidi have a really, really close relationship that lasts throughout the years,” Narmi said. “They get mad at each other sometimes, but they’re always friends and they’re always there for each other.” Narmi was first introduced
to theatre during his freshman year at Cuthbertson High School in Waxhaw. He took a theatre class for an easy grade, but after doing in-class plays, he “fell in love with the rush of being on stage.” His favorite role in high school was Trevor Graydon III, a ridiculously oblivious and hopelessly romantic character in Thoroughly Modern Millie. Some of his other lead roles included King Dacron, the lead antagonist in
Alum address race in film
The Clumsy Custard Horror Show and Ice Cream Clone Review, and the Beast in Beauty and the Beast. “My favorite part about doing theatre was being about to be someone who wasn’t myself, so I could escape my problems for even two or three hours at a time,” Narmi said. Narmi had always done theatre with high school friend Mattalin Manning, so when he started college, her
older sister, Jordan Manning, a senior in communications at N.C. State, encouraged Narmi to audition. “[Patrick]’s the kind of person who, when you look at him, he just looks like an actor,” Manning said. “He’s got a very versatile look and a voice that resonates and is perfect for the stage. I encouraged him to audition for The Heidi Chronicles because I had a feeling he would get a part.” Narmi has enjoyed many dif ferent t y pes of roles through his acting career. But now he gets to act in a way that is quite foreign to him — as a gay man — and looks forward to the exciting new challenges it may bring. “From an acting perspective, it’ll be interesting and different because I’ve never actually had to play a gay man,” Narmi said. “I don’t think it’ll be too difficult, but it’s definitely something I’m not used to.” The Heidi Chronicles will be playing April 5-21 at the Kennedy-McIlwee Studio Theatre in Thompson Hall. Adult tickets are $18, seniors and children are $16 and NCSU students are $5. Tickets are available online at www.ncsu. edu/arts and at the box office on the second floor of Talley Student Center.

Taylor Quinn Staff Writer
Two girls, two races and one magical espresso that switches the characters’ skin colors for a day and their outlook for the rest of their lives — that is the plot of The Takeover. Written, directed and produced by alumna Shequeta Smith, the movie represents an important step in her interest in screenwriting that started when she was a student. Smith said she discovered her love for screenwriting while writing plays freshman year for her theatre class. When her teacher told her she should consider screenwriting, she said her answer was simply, “What is screenwriting?” “I didn’t pay any attention to it,” Smith said. “It wasn’t until my roommate from freshman year told me she wanted to write for televi-

to the topic of dating. “One day a couple of my friends and I wanted to try online dating, so we put profiles up and almost every black man I would come across would have some kind of disclaimer that would say that they only date Asian girls or they only date Hispanic girls. I was like ‘OK, what is going on?’” Smith said. “So I got off of that because it is one thing to get discriminated upon in person, but this is the Internet. It took it to a whole other level.” The story is mostly based upon experiences that Smith has had happen in her life and the struggles she has faced. “Kisha is mostly based off of me, and Ashley is pretty much my college roommate.” Smith said. “They are loosely based off our relationship and how we are together.

She does sales and marketing for a Fortune 500 company as her “day job.” “The whole entertainment thing is kind of my thing — I’m creative,” said Smith. “But without that, I am still happy because I am able to go out and do sales for this huge company.

about the exact role that video games play in combatting depression. Faiza Mustafa, a senior in human biology, said he was intrigued by the results of this study but wondered if video games were what really caused happiness in these older adults. “Are video games solely the cause of this increase in emotional well-being, or is it the added time spent with grandchildren that plays a predominant role?” Mustafa asked. Aware of the need to answer these types of critical questions, Allaire plans to conduct additional research to look into these issues. This study also focuses on non-pharmaceutical treatments for depression, which are critical in today’s healthcare climate. “With the rising cost of health care in our nation, it is crucial for us to rein in costs by relying less on drugs and more on simple lifestyle changes,” Sruthi Mohan, a junior in economics, said. “The results of this study may not be conclusive, but I definitely want to get my grandparents an iPad to play video games if that will help their emotional well-being.” ILLUSTRATION BY BRETT MORRIS
Artist brainstorms ideas for Gregg with students Young Lee Associate Features Editor
As the Gregg Museum prepares to move to its new location at the old chancellor’s house on Hillsborough Street, museum administrators explore ways to take full advantage of the new opportunities such a location presents. Last week, San Franciscobased artist Peter Richards came to visit N.C. State and the Gregg Museum’s new location to share his experiences and ideas for the use of the museum’s new location at the request of museum director Roger Manley. During his week-long stay, Richards taught students about sculptures he worked on, brainstormed possibilities for the new site, toured the North Carolina Art Museum and presented some of his thoughts to students and staff. “The intent was to give [students] a sense of how somebody like me works and how I respond to certain situations and the kinds of questions that I ask,” said Richards. “And so I was trying to get them to raise their own questions and make their own observations.”

Manley said he felt that Richards would be a great artist to explore the new site and share ideas with students because of the thoughtful way he approaches problems. “I met him several years ago when the city of Charlotte was creating a new arts center called the McColl Center,” Manley said. “Instead of just showing up and saying, ‘I know what to do, and I will tell you how to accomplish it,’ he is the kind of person who takes his time to listen to everyone, study a situation and gradually see a creative solution. I wish more people approached things that way.” During his conversations with students, Richards said he thought about ways artistic installations worked with the sites they were constructed for and how each installation can complement the story of the location. “I’m interested in making places too and not just sculptures,” Richards said. “I can go to my studio and I can make a big sculpture, and I can ship it and plop it right in the middle of the field and there’d be a sculpture. But then, what would it be about? Would it be about the land that it’s sitting on or would it be about my studio and what

The Gregg Museum, currently located in Talley Student Center, is on the move. Its new location will be the Chancellor’s old residence, with the addition of a 16,800 square foot new wing for rotation exhibitions. The $4.5 million renovation and move is expected to be completed in 2014.
I was thinking about while I was in my studio?” Richards was able to share his ideas with more than 50 students and faculty over the course of his stay. As everything is still in planning stages, it isn’t yet confirmed that Richards will be a part of the construction of a sculpture for the new museum site.
Fundraising for the museum’s landscaping projects is ongoing. According to Manley, museum administrators need to raise another $1.9 million to meet its goal of $7.9 million to fund the creation of sculptures and landscaping of the new location. Manley said the construction will take a year and a half and
will begin as soon as the museum receives enough money. Zoe Starling, curator of education resources at the Gregg Museum, said she was excited about what Richards shared concerning the possibilities of the new museum site. “We’re going to be in a place where we can be a gateway to
the downtown arts scene because we are on Hillsborough [Street],” Starling said. “Having art on the ground is only going to make the university more visible and more accessible to students in the community.”
stories from people in the communit y who are so dedicated to the fishing life because it’s what they do. It’s what they breathe,” Chung said. “But there’s also a tint of sadness to it because their way of live is a dying breed.” The Core Sound commercial fishing industry is becoming obsolete because it is getting harder and more expensive to do. Core Sounders are doing what they can to address this problem. They have tried to resist develop-
ment, enforce stricter zoning laws, start co-op programs and create Community Supported Fisheries, or CSFs. The purpose of a CSF is to purchase fresh seafood from local fishermen to help the local economy. According to Hutcheson, this is a hopeful solution. “The one thing that is working for [the fishermen] is a very profound amount of self-pride and sense of place because they can fall back on that as a strength,” Hutcheson
said. “It gives them that fight where other people may give up if they didn’t have that same power of attachment to the landscape.” A not her rea son C ore Sounder community is fighting for its culture is because many families have remained in the same town for hundreds of years and consistently worked on the waters. So it’s not only its culture and lifestyle, but fishing is its heritage as well, Hutcheson said. “That’s all you really need
to realize — that it is one of the most unique cultural assets of North Carolina, if not one of the most unique in the United States,” Hutcheson said. “And right now, it’s endangered.” Core.Sounders is scheduled for a showing at East Carteret High School in Beaufort, N.C. April 27. Hutcheson and Wolfram hope to release the DVD on that date as well.

White to bring experience to staff Jeniece Jamison Sports Editor
Football Safeties and CoSpecial Teams Coordinator Clayton White said the opportunity to coach at N.C. State is “a dream come true.” White was a three-year starter at the linebacker position for the Wolfpack from 1999-2001. He has made his return to Raleigh in December as a member of head coach Dave Doeren’s staff and is ready to bring guidance from his experiences in an N.C. State jersey to the current roster. “For me to come back to N.C. State is almost like a dream come true as far as the chances of coming back to my alma mater, the school that I grew up loving,” White said. “It’s a once in a lifetime type of deal, maybe twice.” White’s experience with
the Wolfpack began during his childhood. The first collegiate football game he attended was an N.C. State game at Carter-Finley Stadium. He ended his career as a decorated athlete at N.C. St ate. He held the record for career tackles for a loss, single-season tackles Clayton for a loss White and tackles in a single game. After his time on the field at Carter-Finley Stadium, White spent three seasons in the NFL. His coaching career began in 2003 when he became the defensive backs coach at Sanderson High School in Raleigh. He held the same position during his next four stops in the
