Researchers look to increase private funding Joseph Havey Deputy News Editor

N.C. State researchers are relying more on non-federal funding. With decreasing budgets, the sequester and the effects of the government-shutdown, some researchers are looking to industries, state government and foundations to provide grants for their projects. Last year the federal government provided about 77 percent of research funding at N.C. State, according to Terri Lomax, vice chancellor of the Office of Research, Innovation & Economic Development. Looking forward, however, Lomax sees a lesser dependence on Congress and the various federal agencies. “Researchers at N.C. State have always been good at finding funding other than the federal government, and now that has become more important than ever,” Lomax said. “The sequester is hurting us right now. Also, Congress hasn’t managed to get any new appropriations bills together, and we can’t get any increases in any area if they don’t pass appropriations bills.” Lomax said her office is dedicated on maintaining diverse streams for funding research opportunities on campus. “The best thing we can do is have a broad and balanced portfolio,” Lomax said “If you rely too much on any one source, you’re in trouble if that source can’t keep funding. We try and make sure we have funding from all the areas.” The Office of Research, Innovation & Economic Development doesn’t fund researchers. Instead it guides researchers to funding opportunities, according to Lomax. “The professors are like entrepreneurs,” Lomax said. “They are all out there trying to find their own funding. My office tries to help them find those opportunities and help them go after those opportunities.” Lomax said grants are just a small part of the overall research process but a very time-consuming part. “Often [researchers] have to write very long, elaborate proposals and then have only, say, a 10 percent chance of winning,” Lomax said. “And as the total budget shrinks, that’s getting more difficult.” Recently, Lomax said she has targeted federal agencies that, historically, haven’t made large contributions to N.C. State research. She also tried to strengthen industry partnerships,

In efforts to keep more than 2,500 N.C. State students awake, top-40 music blared and bright lights illuminated the PNC Arena Friday, as attendees of this year’s N.C. State Basketball Campout will earn six loyalty points that can be used during the upcoming N.C. State men’s basketball season. To kick off the night, the men’s basketball team played
a scrimmage for “Primetime with the Pack,” an official introduction of the new team to the public. Julia Buonanno, a freshman in fashion textile management, said the primetime scrimmage was still her favorite part of the night. “I came out tonight because I am so excited for the men’s basketball season to start, and I can’t wait to see the Wolfpack have a successful season,” Buonanno said. Buonanno, who was look-
ing forward to the six loyalty points students earned Friday night, said she wishes the Wolfpack good luck. She said she hopes they win an ACC Championship. “I feel like there’s a lot of work the team could do but they definitely do show a promising spirit,” Buonanno said. Student organizations, such as Student Government and University Recreation, attended the all-night event. “There’s so much free
Prospective students visit for Open House Sarah Ray Correspondent
N.C. State offered prospective students the opportunity to attend general informational sessions about the application process on Saturday when it hosted its fall Open House. The event lasted from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Main Campus and Centennial Campus. Representatives from campus clubs and organizations filled the Brickyard with interest booths.
Prospective students toured the D.H. Hill Library, Hunt Library, Carmichael Gymnasium, Greek Village and Residence halls throughout the day. Gene McConnell, a parent of a perspective student from Mooresville, came to the open house hoping for some insight into her son’s future college experience. “We want a better idea of what’s available in the engineering pro-

Guests filled a majority of the Titmus Theater’s 192 seats on Sunday, as the Raleigh Civic Chamber Orchestra performed in concert before a full house. The concert, “Transformations,” featured composer J. Mark Scearce, professor of Art and Design and former director of the N.C. State Music Department, as a guest conductor. Scearce began the concert with the song “Benediction,” one of the first he wrote for the Raleigh Civic Symphony 20 years ago. “I thought the first song was beautiful,” said Chelsea Gardner, a ju-
nior in communication. “I wasn’t sure what to expect with a title like “Benediction,” but it was the complete opposite, it wasn’t dark or dreary at all.” Scearce said that the orchestra of 32 was made up of students and professionals from the community. “I think it went alright,” said violinist Wesley Allen, a freshman in engineering. Allen said it was his first time he played in concert with the orchestra. He said he was satisfied with the performance. Allen said the orchestra practiced once a week in the days leading up

Participants of the Tap ‘N’ Run 4K start running after chugging their first beer at the beginning of the race on Hillsborough Street on Saturday.
Racers drink beer and dress up Estefania Castro-Vazques Correspondent
People chugged beer and ran on Hillsborough Street Saturday during the 2.5 mile Tap ‘N’ Run event in which about 3,150 cans of beer were consumed. About 1,400 people participated in the Raleigh race, according to Morgan Coslow, the event coordinator. The event had two rules. First, all alcohol was to be consumed at the chug stations and could not be taken off the course, and second, have fun.
Many of the participants were dressed in costumes for the event. Joann Mantovani, Kit Gardner, Lisa Christmas, and Amanda Labrecque dressed as a six-pack of beer with two cans already missing, and they said they were most looking forward to drinking beer with good friends. Micah Beckman and Tricia Prohaska, who dressed as Dick Tracey and Breathless Mahoney, said they hoped to complete the race without getting sick. Other people dressed as Vikings, killer bees, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, PBR cans, pirates, and the
three blind mice. The race started on Enterprise Street by handing out a five-ounce serving of Mystery Brewing beer. Participants then ran to Gorman Street where they turned around and headed to the finish line on Horne Street. On the course, racers had to stop at two stations and drink another five ounce serving of beer before continuing the race. One chug station was located on Stanhope Avenue and the other was between Henderson and Shepard streets.

Canine Angels rescues dogs that are going to be put to death in shelters and trains them to become companions for veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury or physical disabilities. According to Canine Angels’ website. “Every year, at least 3 million animals are put to

using Centennial Campus as a selling point for the University. “The wonderf ul thing about Centennial Campus is that we have a lot of our industry partners embedded right here with us so they’re in constant contact with our professors and our students and work together to find those problems that they can work on solving,” Lomax said. Eastman Chemical is one of the most recent companies to partner with N.C. State and will host the Eastman Innovation Center, which will serve as a hub for chemistry and materials science research. Eastman is also providing $10 million in grants
to N.C. State during the next six years. “After looking at over 200 universities, [Eastman] narrowed it down and chose N.C. State,” Lomax said. “Part of that was the excellence of our faculty, but it’s also because they could locate their research center on Centennial Campus.” N.C. State is not alone in its quest for funding from nonfederal sources. According to Inside Higher Ed, the National Research Council offered 10 suggestions last year for how research universities can remain competitive in the world. The recommendations included calls for greater commitments from state and federal governments, better partnerships with the business community and more efficiency and innovation at
institutions themselves. “The federal government is stuck in the mud and it’s not going to get out for some time,” Hunter Rawlings III, president of the Association of American Universities, said to Inside Higher Ed. Lomax said that at N.C. State, t he answer is to strengthen ties with all organizations, including government, corporations and nonprofit groups. “We are trying to be the easiest and best university to work with,” Lomax said. “We make sure that when we do work with industries, we involve students. The industry is also interested in being close to our students so that they can hopefully incorporate them into the future workforce.”

Scearce said he was satisfied with the orchestra, which only rehearsed a total of 12 hours as an ensemble. “It was ver y stimulating,” said Lauren Thornton a freshman in Polymer and

Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 3, dedicated to former music director Randolph Foy. Scearces praised the students following a story he told of Bach and how he would enlist his students for his original orchestra. The concert ended with a standing ovation and all around applause after the orchestra’s and soloists’ of the N.C. Symphony rendition of “Pulcinella Suite” by Igor Stravinsky.

The normalcy of tragedy— rape culture revisited
“R
ape culture does not exist.” I have heard this statement repeated hundreds of times. Even when cases regarding rape, such as the Steubenville Justine case, become Schnitzler entangled in Guest Columnist a haze of media coverage and scrutiny, society as a whole refuses to acknowledge this abhorrent phenomenon as a problem. Fear surrounds the phrase “rape culture.” We fear that using that term means every man is under attack or that every man is a rapist. This isn’t true. Rape culture doesn’t refer to the frequency that sexual attacks occur in this nation, though the numbers are startlingly high, much of it refers to the aftermath and response. On Jan. 8, 2012, Melinda Coleman opened her front door in Maryville, Mo. after hearing a feeble knocking in the early hours of the morning. Coleman found her 14-year-old daughter, Daisy, bloodied, incoherent and half naked in 22 degree weather. Daisy had been brutally raped
and left for dead on her own front porch by a 17-year-old male at a party she had snuck out to attend, hoping to fit in. It was a nightmare with no answer. Where does a mother go when the community blames her daughter for being attacked? Yes, she went to a party. Yes, she consumed alcohol. That’s not a green light for assault. There is no argument in the world that justifies another human being taken advantage of someone, inebriated or not. So what happened to the rapist? All charges were dropped under the pretense that there wasn’t sufficient evidence. The survivor was harassed for months following the attack. The Coleman family left Maryville after pressure and scrutiny from the community. The Los Angeles Times reported that the accused rapist had connections in the small town, allowing him to elude charges. This blatant injustice would have been the end of it, had the online “hacktivist” group Anonymous not picked the story a few months ago. #Justice4Daisy began trend-
ing on Twitter, alongside hundreds of phone calls and emails with demands for retribution. It’s entirely possible. However, if Daisy stayed silent and tried to heal the scars of her attack without the assistance of the criminal justice system, her voice would merely have been one of many. Thousands of sexual assault cases are not brought to trial in the United States. Our culture is far too comfortable with the survivor blaming and teaching women “not to drink, not to tempt” rather than teaching men “not to rape.” Men don’t have an innate, uncontrollable desire to sexually harm, and to suggest so hurts the image of men. Rape culture discredits men as much as it hurts women. A society cannot be evaluated as being progressive and an example for others when it takes an online grassroots movement to get a rape case to trial. So long as we turn a blind eye, we will remain a culture that seeks to excuse rapists, rather than a culture that seeks to end rape.

culture, China is very selective when it comes to loaning pandas. “[China] values pandas as their number one animal,” said Suzanne Gendron, director of Hong Kong’s Ocean Park Conservation Foundation. “You wouldn’t want to give a panda to someone you don’t trust.” The panda-loaning project seems well-intentioned. Pandas symbolize friendship and peace in the Chinese culture, and sharing them with the world is a benevolent notion. But Oxford University’s Kathleen Buckingham seems to have the wrong idea. “China needs to remain selective in its choice of pandareceiving countries in order to maintain the rarity, and therefore, their value,” Buckingham said. Buckingham’s statement suggests that we keep the animals perpetually endangered. This is the exact opposite of what China and the world should be working toward. If China really wants to help the species, it should keep the pandas in their natural environment rather than shipping them around the world. Captivity affects how pandas breed — in captivity, they rarely breed on their own. According to Animal Planet, male pandas are more attracted and likely to mate with female pandas when they have competition, and in most zoos outside of China,
there is no competition. Some zoos are trying to overcome this using artificial insemination, which has been only mildly successful due to pandas’ physiology. Female pandas are only fertile for 24-36 hours out of the year, according to Animal Planet. PETA called zoos “pitiful prisons.” I wouldn’t take it that far — zoos do a lot of good things for animals by increasing public awareness and protecting endangered species from predators. But zoo life is not ideal for animals. It would be preferable to allow the animals to live in their natural environment in China. The problem is that bamboo forests are becoming scarce, even in China. According to the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, China produces 57 billion pairs of chopsticks per year, which requires more than 1.18 million square meters of forest. Instead of putting the animals through the undue stress of shipping or f lying them around the world, China should be working to stabilize its bamboo forests so pandas have an environment in which they can grow their population. China values pandas so much that some of its coins feature the animals. But if the country wanted to really demonstrate how much it cares, it would stop treating the animals as moneymaking tools.

ith only about 1,600 left in the wild, pandas are an endangered species, and they have been an important part of Chinese culture for centuries. So, why is the country that features pandas on its currency, loanMegan ing them to Ellisor Viewpoint Editor other countries? “If you want to get a sense of China’s economic priorities, follow the pandas,” said Sophia Yan in an article for CNN Money. According to Yan, China has been known to reward countries with pandas if they do at least one of the following: sign a free trade agreement with China, provide the country with key energy technology or supply it with uranium to power its nuclear reactors. But the pandas aren’t a free gift. They’re an expensive responsibility. China loans a pair of pandas at the cost of about $1 million per year. And pandas aren’t new to diplomatic trade. In the 1980s, China made pandas available for short-term rental at the cost of $100,000 per month for a pair. Not only must the zoos pay China for the privilege of having the pandas, but they also must pay for conservation projects. Part of this cost is offset by the number of visitors that pandas attract to the zoos, but owning pandas is still a costly endeavor. Because of the value associated with pandas in Chinese

NCSU Professor takes the runway Taylor Quinn Staff Writer
Students and faculty in and interested in the College of Design filled Hunt Library’s auditorium Thursday night. With anticipation, they waited to view the finale of Project Runway. The design school hosted a viewing event for Justin LeBlanc, an associate professor in the College of Design and a designer who was a finalist on the reality television show. LeBlanc said on the show that growing up deaf influenced his design. At 18, he heard for the first time in his life and has used that experience as motivation for the garments he would eventually showcase in the season 12 finale of Project Runway. Fashion design was not always what LeBlanc wanted to do, but after taking a fashion class at NCSU, he decided to Volunteers set up placards on a red carpet.

Production of cult classic goes too far Katie Sanders Deputy Features Editor
If the Rialto Theatre’s production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show doesn’t offend you, there probably isn’t much t hat will. Rocky Horror is a
cult classic, science fiction musical about a newly engaged couple that gets a flat tire and wanders into a nearby castle to ask the occupant, who turns out to be a mad-scientist time-traveling transvestite murderer from another planet, if they can use his phone. But the point of The Rocky Horror Picture Show isn’t really the show — it’s t he crowd interaction and community that come with watching it. The moviegoers

UV the
are allowed and encouraged to talk through the movie, ad-libbing new lines into the film. There are also customary replies to certain lines. For example, at one point a character said, “I’ll make you shiver with antici…” and everyone is expected to scream, “Say it!” before he can finish, “…pation.” Mov iegoers t h row i ng things around the theatre during certain scenes, such as rice during the on-screen wedding, is only one of the viewing rituals. Longtime patrons draw large, red “V’s” onto firsttime viewers’ foreheads, signifying their virginity, calling for veterans to usher them into the traditions. The Rialto screens the film bimonthly, Fridays at midnight, complete with a stage in front of the screen where a troupe of actors interact with one another as well as the actors onscreen. I’d seen the show before I attended the one at the Rial-
to, but I hadn’t participated in a large showing such as this and was, honestly, a little shocked. It was almost impossible to hear any of the film in the Rialto, as the sound was turned down and people were talking over the movie the entire time. This made it hard to follow. If you go, I definitely recommend watching the movie beforehand. However, since the movie isn’t actually the point, I don’t think I would have minded not being able to hear it—except that I couldn’t hear what people were saying, either. Everyone talked over one another. And even when I could hear jokes people shouted, they were inside jokes about what was happening onscreen, which I was missing. Also, be prepared for nudity and obscenities. One of the traditions is the underwear run in which many viewers strip down to thongs and pasties and run a few laps around the theatre. Many runners remained unclothed the rest of the night. There were also jokes told that were, to put it mildly, less than politically correct. But this crudeness wasn’t what I found intolerable — it was the way it was done. The organizers and crowd were very forceful. For example, they held a boy down to draw a “V” on his face, and at the beginning of the movie lined up all the virgins and had them pelvic thrust into each other, even the ones that didn’t want to. When it comes to sexual or possibly offensive material, force shouldn’t be acceptable. This review has covered the Rialto more than the film itself, and when talking about Rocky Horror and its community, that makes sense. But I would still like to mention that Rocky Horror does contain several instances of rape, or, if we’re being generous, sexual molestation. And the movie doesn’t do a good job of dealing with them, as the instances are mostly unnecessary and included as jokes. Moreover, the character responsible, though he is
the villain, is one of the fan favorites and is highly celebrated. One of the reasons I believe the character is celebrated is because he’s transsexual and his aggression is mistaken for sexual freedom. However, I think this hurts the LGBT community more than it supports it, as it perverts many people’s views of the transsexual community. This is a huge flaw in the film. It’s when we treat rape or sexual molestation as a joke and characters that partake in them as martyrs that we allow rape to continue in our society. The culture around this film doesn’t have to condone the forceful sexual advances of the movie, however, and it’s not as if the crowd at the Rialto excuses sexual molestation – one of the main rules that they announced beforehand was that anyone caught groping people would be kicked out of the theatre.
But at the same time, instead of going out of their way to make you feel comfortable, the people at the Rialto go out of their way to make you feel uncomfortable. Sexuality is a large part of the movie, but by making it intimidating they highlight the wrong part of the movie, and actually make it much more terrifying that it was intended to be. I love science fiction musicals, and I even enjoy the idea of a cult following — a welcoming, open community of people who all enjoy the same thing and are happy to share that thing. But that isn’t what you’re going to find at the Rialto. The science fiction isn’t played up, you won’t be able to hear the songs, and frankly, the community is intimidating. If this is the first time you’ve heard of Rocky Horror or if it is at all possible to offend you, stay home.

and fired a low cross across the face of goal. With Notre Dame’s defense nowhere to be found, DiPrima executed a simple tap in at the back post to give the Wolfpack a 1-0 advantage. But after State got its goal, Notre Dame started to assert itself offensively. The Irish controlled possession for the rest of the game, barely giving State any opportunities to extend its lead. “When we got the goal, we kind of just sat off instead of really taking it to them and pushing them back even fur-
ther,” DiPrima said. “That’s something we need to take into the next couple of games, whenever we get ahead to just keep pushing and not back off.” “I t h i n k when we’ve watched video on them, they have a tendency to press if they give up a goal,” Findley said. “They’re number two in the country for a reason.

some clutch saves from senior goalkeeper Fabian Otte. Otte held the Irish at bay, at least until the 53rd minute. Notre Dame’s sophomore midfielder Connor Klekota sent in a cross from the left wing directed at sophomore midfielder Patrick Hodan. Through a crowd of Wolfpack players, Hodan bundled the ball into State’s net from four yards out. State, who had worked so hard to protect its lead, lost most of its momentum after Hodan’s equalizer. The Irish quickly took advantage of the
situation, seizing the lead in the 65th minute through junior defender Max Lachowecki. The junior’s left-footed strike sealed the Pack’s fate, as Notre Dame weathered a late surge from the Wolfpack to seal its victory. The Pack will look to bounce back against Liberty (7-5, 3-3 Big South) on Tuesday in Raleigh. The match against the Flames is the second of a four-game home stand for State, who closes out its home schedule on Oct. 29 against Appalachian State.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “Just knowing that we’re able to push each other and still be friends off the court is a good thing.” Tyler Lewis, sophomore guard
Deputy Sports Editor & Correspondent
Sophomore guard Tyler Lewis dominated N.C. State’s intrasquad scrimmage Friday night at PNC Arena. Lewis racked up 16 points, five assists and three rebounds in a commanding performance as the white team edged past red team, 39-38. The 20-minute scrimmage took place at the end of Primetime with the Pack, the men’s basketball team’s annual pre-season event. “It’s a fun night for our players,” head coach Mark Gottfried said. “We’re actually going to get back at it early tomorrow [Saturday] morning, but for the players it was a good night.” Sophomore forward T.J. Warren led the red team with 13 points, while freshman point guard Anthony Barber contributed eight points in a losing effort. Much of the emphasis coming into the game was on Warren, a Collegeinsider.com pre-season all-American. But Lewis stole the show, dominating his matchup with Barber and controlling the pace throughout. Lewis got into the lane at will against Barber, forcing the freshman to commit seven fouls. Lewis got free by using screens from senior center Jordan Vandenberg, causing Barber to become visibly frustrated. Players were not ejected from the game for committing more than four fouls. Lewis said the intensity between the two is nothing new, but it helps both players get better. “It’s nothing personal [with Barber], it’s just we’re out here and we’re both trying to win,” Lewis said. “Every day in practice, we’re trying to push each other. Just knowing that we’re able to push each other and still be
friends off the court is a good thing.” Vandenberg was the biggest beneficiary of Lewis’ playmaking skills, ending the scrimmage with 12 points and seven rebounds. Vandenberg, who lost 20 pounds in the offseason, ran the floor well and dominated the paint all night, helping the white team outscore the red team 28-18 in the paint. “I like the fact that Jordan has put himself in position to have a good year,” Gottfried said. “He’s in the best shape of his life, he’s got good stamina and conditioning and it shows. He can affect the game because he’s not getting tired.” “I think our guys are learning how to utilize his [Vandenberg’s] size and length. Jordan has good hands and he’s in good shape so he can get down there and be involved in the play where last year he had a hard time doing that.” Warren was another standout on Friday night, showing an impressive array of offensive moves and working hard on defense. “T.J. is in great physical shape and because of that, I think he’s going to have a great year,” Gottfried said. “He’s got a knack, an uncanny ability to make shots, and now he’s in such great shape that he can get up and down the floor so much more.” Warren, who was lackadaisical at times on defense last season, looked much quicker and more physical on the defensive end. The sophomore used his much-improved conditioning and physique to notch a game-leading three steals and two blocks. Despite coming out on the losing end in his matchup against Lewis, Barber was a solid performer for the red team. Barber, coming off a concussion suffered on Oct. 1, played physical defense and steadied the red team’s

offense, finishing the night without a turnover. Aside from Barber, freshmen forwards Lennard Freeman and Kyle Washington impressed the most out of State’s freshmen. Freeman was a physical presence on the boards, leading the Red team with six rebounds. Washington showcased
his incredible athleticism on an authoritative block early in the game. Junior guard Desmond Lee drove along the baseline and rose up for a two-handed dunk, but Washington ripped the ball away from Lee in midair. Washington finished with four points, seven rebounds and two blocks.
Lee, a transfer from New Mex ico Junior Col lege, played well in his first appearance in front of the Wolfpack faithful. The junior buried a deep three-pointer to close the gap late but had a game winning three-pointer barely rim out in the closing seconds. Lee ended the night with nine points.

Orange squeezes past Pack in double overtime Staff Report
The N.C. State women’s soccer team fell to Syracuse in heartbreaking, double overtime fashion on Sunday in Raleigh. The loss marks the ninth straight defeat for the skidding Wolfpack. Sunday’s game was tightly contested throughout, with each team earning plenty of goal-scoring chances. State finished with 16 shots, including nine on goal, while the Orange took a whopping 23 shots, 13 of which were on target. After saving 11 shots on Sunday, State’s redshirt freshman goalkeeper Mackenzie Stelljes now ranks second in the ACC in total saves with 59, trailing only to Pittsburgh’s redshirt junior goalie Nicole D’Agostino. The Wolfpack (6-11-0, 1-10-0 ACC) continued its recent struggles on Sunday against ACC opponents. Even though the ACC is regarded as one of the best women’s soccer conferences in the country, the Orange (7-9-1, 3-7-1 ACC) had won only two conference games prior to Sunday’s matchup with

the Pack. The first half of Sunday’s game was evenly contested by both teams, with the score still deadlocked at 0-0 at halftime. State was the more offensively aggressive side in the first half, recording nine shots and three corner kicks in the first 45 minutes.
Head coach Tim Santoro decided to employ an attacking 4-3-3 formation, which gave the Pack an offensive mentality. But despite the numerous chances it created, the Pack was unable to find the back of the net in the first half. Syracuse turned the tables
in the second half by coming out of the break aggressively. The Orange took 10 of the first 11 shots of the half, including the shot in the 61st minute that broke the deadlock. Syracuse’s goal came after two unsuccessful shots in the box, the first ricocheting of
a crossbar and the second being saved by Stelljes. But Stelljes’ save deflected right into the path of Syracuse’s sophomore defender Taylor Haenlin, who knocked in her first goal of the season to give the Orange a 1-0 lead. Less than two minutes after Haenlin’s goal, freshman forward Jackie Stengel tied the match at 1-1 after finishing a cross from sophomore forward Caroline Gentry into the box. The goal marked Stengel’s ninth of the season, tying her for fourth in goals scored in the ACC this year. Neither team could score a go-ahead goal in regulation, sending the match to suddendeath overtime. Syracuse scored the gamewinning goal with 1:57 left on the clock in the second overtime. Freshman forward Stephanie Skilton fired home for the Orange on a two-onone breakaway off an assist from junior midfielder Alexis Koval. State’s next match is at Duke on Thursday night. The Devils beat No. 7 Notre Dame 2-1 on Sunday and are tenth in the ACC standings, four spots above the Wolfpack.
