Bring Bernie to NC movement grows

Chapel Hill Councilman charged with drunk driving, speeding

Abigail Pugh Correspondent

NCSU for Bernie held its first meeting in Hunt Library Wednesday at 7 p.m. on Aug. 26 in a packed-out auditorium along with fellow Sanders supporters from the group Triangle for Bernie 2016. A crowd of about 130, about half of which were college-aged, gathered in an effort to better organize and mobilize the Sanders campaign effort in North Carolina and the Triangle area, specifically.

President of NC State Students for Bernie, Alex Caudill, a sophomore studying political science, and Vice President Nida Allam, a senior studying sustainable materials technology, organized and led the meeting, in collaboration with several Triangle for Bernie members. Caudill emphasized the student-led, grassroots aspect of Students for Bernie and encouraged the students in attendance to volunteer to join the campaign effort.

Among the audience, ideas were tossed around about how to better reach voters with Sanders’ message, such as reaching out to disenfranchised voters, LGBT members, minorities, women, Republicans,

Lee Storrow, a councilman in Chapel Hill, was charged Wednesday at about 1 a.m. with a DWI and speeding. His 2012 Toyota was left at the scene.

Storrow was going 63 mph in a 35 mph zone. His blood alcohol content was recorded at 0.16, twice the legal limit for NC. He released a statement saying, “This has brought into clear focus that I’m not only an elected official but a role model, and I take that responsibility more seriously now. I’m committed to making better decisions going forward.” Storrow is a first-term council member and is running for re-election.

Hooked, a new app designed to help college students find cheap meals nearby, is offering free food deals and coupons at restaurants near NC State’s campus for the next two weeks.

The two-week offer began because more than 2,500 NC State students downloaded the app.

“It’s a great way to spend less and find new places to eat,” said Chandler Pearce, the Hooked Sales and Business Developer for NC State. “I hope it will remind students of the many amazing places in the area. We want people to experience every type of food, not just fast food.”

NC State is participating in the effort to tackle environmental issues by hosting a Climate Symposium Aug. 27 from 5:30–7:30 p.m. at Stewart Theatre in Talley Student Union. The event is free to the public, and representation from Duke, Meredith and UNC-Chapel Hill will also be in attendance.

The topic of this evening’s conversation is the relationship between climate change and agriculture. It is entitled “Climate Smart Agriculture: Innovation and Resiliency.”

There will be seven speakers from both the United States and France, including Ryan Boyles, NC State climatologist and university director of the Southeast Climate Science Center; Virginia Burkett, chief scientist for Climate and Land Use Change of the United States Geological Survey and Olivier Le Gall, deputy director of the French National Institute of Agricultural Research.

NC State was chosen as a site to host the Climate Symposium because of its connection to France through its French Business School, SKEMA, as well as the large French population in the nearby Research Triangle area. The university also stresses the importance of the relationship between agriculture and climate change, according to Megan Landwehr, communication and media specialist for the Office of International Affairs.

David Dixon, manager of global partnerships for the Office of International Affairs, also cited that the Southeast Science and Climate Center and Southeast Regional Climate Hub are located nearby as a reason that NC State was chosen over other institutions to host this talk.

“We always hear that NC State is a preeminent research institution, and I think holding this conference further demonstrates this idea and asserts this identity,” said Jessica Hatcher, a senior

It’s good to have live students and things like that to balance that out.”

Some of the specifics of Harries’ new job are still being figured out.

The transition from USF to NC State has some differences in terms of graduate studies. His major task is to go through the student handbook and a series of university regulations that pertain to graduate education, he explained.

By teaming up with local businesses, Hooked offers students special, timesensitive meal deals. Hooked allows local businesses to creative an effective mobile brand and promote themselves to students, according to Tim Rothwell, co-founder and CEO of Hooked.

Offering deals on the app is completely free for restaurants, providing a low-risk, effective way to market itself to students. To prepare for the launch at NC State, Pearce went out to all the restaurants and talked to the owners.

“The businesses are happy with it because they get more business all throughout the day,” Pearce said.

Hooked is available for free download for Apple and Android devices. The app includes restaurants on Hillsborough Street, in Cameron Village, Mission Valley and downtown Raleigh.

A wide variety of restaurants are available on the app, including Marco’s Pizza, Freshii, Coffee Haven, Golden Dragon, McDonald’s and more.

Before this fall, Hooked was available on only five college campuses. Now, the company is expanding to 10 more schools, the first of which is NC State.

During the meeting, a video conference was made with Carolina Students for Bernie Sanders, the student club at UNC-Chapel Hill, during which their president emphasized the importance of a collective ef for t amongst students from all schools in the Triangle in order to get Sanders elected.

Katie McCallister, a junior studying social work, said she is going to start checking the app before going out to eat.

“It’s couponing for college students, minus the scissors,” McCallister said.

“It’s really easy to use.”

In order to claim a deal at the restaurant, Hooked users just have to click on the deal they want by tapping “Get Hooked” in the app and showing it to the restaurant worker.

The two-week free food period began Monday, and students can enjoy a free hot dog at The Alley on Friday.

Rothwell co-founded the company with his childhood friend Brett Berman, who serves as chief operating officer. Hooked was first launched at the University of Texas in 2013.

“It really took off by the end of the first year,” Rothwell said. “We had nearly half the student body signed up.”

NC State is the sixth school at which Hooked has launched and the first market to kick off its national expansion, according to Rothwell.

The Hooked team started getting businesses on board during the summer so that the deals would be ready for the start of school.

“The team is very excited to get Hooked up and running in Raleigh,” Rothwell said.

Harries said he wants to be as approachable and easy to talk to as possible. His main goal is to encourage students’ success and improve new programs and new courses, as well as any new changes in policy regarding graduate education.

“I really enjoy working with students or else I wouldn’t be in this environment,” Harries said. “And certainly, if there are clubs where I can play a role or help whether it’s undergrads or grads I’m certainly very open to any of that.

The unlikely team of Ayn Rand and Christianity I

n Wednesday’s paper, I talked about the triumphs and threats of the works of Ayn Rand. At its heart, Rand’s phiBryan losophy has Maxwell laissez-faire Correspondent capitalism, rugged individualism and devout selfishness. It’s a rational mindset that holds self-concern sacred and altruism in contempt. I wanted to return to this topic because there’s more to this story than the danger of young readers adopting a moral code without knowing what they’re getting into.

Rand’s works don’t just recruit discontent teens as child soldiers in her war on collectivism. The political landscape is full of ranks of her followers. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas had his clerks watch the film adaptation of Rand’s “Fountainhead” every year. Former vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan said Ayn Rand was the reason he got into politics. He required it as reading for his interns. Presidency-hopeful son and father Ron and Rand Paul have expressed great admiration for her philosophy.

Her writings are holy for Tea Party members, who com-

monly carry “Who is John Galt?” signs at their gatherings.

Several organizations, including BB&T and the Ayn Rand Institute, spend millions each year putting hundreds of thousands of Rand’s books in high school and college students’ hands. Her anti-environmentalism, antigovernment, anti-poor views are the foundation of what’s going on right now in North Carolina’s government. The two camps in the political battlefield fall to the right. One is the atheist libertarian who, for clear reasons, totally gets what Rand was laying down.

The other, more curiously, is Christian conservatives.

What makes the ChristianRand combo so strange is the question of how two schools of thought could coexist in one mind. They share similarities. They both have their scriptures for fact-checking: Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” and Christianity’s Bible. They both outline a path to salvation, though they point in opposite directions. Both predict a looming apocalypse, though they blame opposite evils. On nearly every other point, they contradict.

Rand considered faith the

act of an imbecile or lunatic —or both — since only rational thought counts. The Bible calls for blind belief in an entity no living person has ever seen. Rand believed one could achieve happiness through concern for one’s self coupled with shameless pride; the Bible preaches a life of humility and compassion. For Rand, the only way for a society to act is entirely selfish and unconcerned for the weak. The Bible preaches a doctrine so altruistic that its leader, the most ideal person ever created, offered crucifixion essentially as a scapegoat for the sinful masses.

And yet, so many Christians on the right have adopted her views. Which begs the question: Why? Is it Rand’s obsession with happiness? This isn’t exactly unique to her belief system. Is it the idealization of the power of the human spirit? Gandhi embodied the same spirit, yet used it for the greater good. Is it her preference for clean, rational thought over faith and intuition? Also unlikely for a base who regularly denounces science and climate change.

The ideas of Ayn Rand that people cozy up to the most are her other points. That govern-

ment is evil. People have taken that stance possibly ever since the idea of government was created. But Rand vocalized it well. She made it seem rational (though not realistic) that the only way the individual could achieve happiness is by being free of government intervention. She didn’t just make it easier to blame government; she made it moral.

Rand also made it possible to justify selfishness without making it seem heartless. She explained why being selfish was actually in the public’s best interest. She legitimized behavior that we are told is wrong even as children. Rand didn’t just make selfishness OK. She made it heroic.

What has been born out of this mishmash of ideologies is some Frankenstein-like creature with features of both.

Head of Objectivist, torso of Christian, feet and hands of the modern conservative. A bible in one hand, John Galt sign in the other. A figure with the economic backup of capitalism and the moral right of religion. It’s calling for the end of government, and it’s doubly justified: “I have two books saying what I believe is right.

How many do you have?”

Even more alarming is the

group’s ability to blur the lines between Objectivism and Christianity. Rand said altruism weakens the individual and society. The Christian Objectivist argues that charity can be OK as long as the person is receiving some benefit from helping others, such as feeling good about yourself (although I don’t know many people who do volunteer work even though it makes them miserable).

The biblical objectivist starts to imprint selfishness on selfless acts. In doing so, they create a means of groupthink where they can moralize immoral selfishness, as it stems from the same principle that apparently motivates charity: “We’re selfish when we give and when we don’t. Either way, it’s good to be selfish.”

Equally interesting is the change in course Objectivism has taken (although many devout followers would say true Objectivism never changes).

If Rand’s works are the Objectivist’s bible, which many claim, her followers have changed their tune quickly.

They can justify altruism, deem some government to be okay and find religion to be acceptable. And all this happened over 60 years — a

pretty rapid transition compared to Christianity’s uneven acceptance of evolution, equal rights and a non-earth centered universe more 2,000 years. Objectivists, like the capitalism they glorify, respond rapidly to social pressures and shift their structure to adapt to the political market. What’s uncertain is if in their fervor the movement will burn out or evolve in such a way so as to become the dominant philosophy of our nation.

Ultimately, the movement’s biggest obstacle will arrive with what has always been the Achilles’ heel of Objectivism: coming to grips with reality.

Objectivism, like communism and other “isms,” looks great on paper. The problems come in their application.

Keeping in mind that government helps provide healthcare, social security, national defense, public infrastructure, agricultural support and public education like NC State, I’ll end this article with this question: What would a society with no government, entirely composed of people behaving in their own self-interest look like, and how would it work?

Donald Trump: the candidate we need D

on a l d Tr u mp m i g ht not be the candidate we want, but he’s the one we need.

He shouldn’t be president, mind you. If spending hundreds of billions of dollars to deport every i l lega l immiCR Denning grant and build Assistant a Berlin wall on Opinion Editor our sout hern border is the way to “make America great again,” we should stick with mediocrity.

But while the pre-primary campaign trail is littered with candidates who make “Modern Family” seem like improv, Trump’s burned his copy of the script.

The first debate made clear he’s not beholden to the party. He wouldn’t pinkie-promise not to run as an independent if he doesn’t make the cut in the Republican primaries. When he claimed to have given campaign money to the other candidates, they tried to laugh the subject off, one claiming, “Not me,” and another blurting out that he’d take some. Whether or not Trump was exaggerating, money in politics is not a topic mainstream candidates want to discuss.

The Democratic Party is surely feeling the same discomfort from Bernie Sanders, who’s made vanquishing crony capitalism part of his platform.

Much of Sanders’ appeal is his frank, impassioned disparagement of the political status quo.

Sanders pushes issues Washington-insider types like Hillary would rather leave well enough alone. The Democratic National Committee has scheduled only six debates, the first not until October — not much time for Bernie to make Hillary squirm onstage the way Trump did the Republican candidates.

But we need mainstream candidates to squirm. The Two Ol’ Parties — and the Commission on Presidential Debates, the organization that puts on the debates in the general election — have done a heck of a job keeping that from happening (for the most part) by limiting independent candidates’ access to the podiums.

Like Ross Perot, who ran as an independent in the 1992 presidential election, Trump has the bankroll to get himself all the attention he wants. If he doesn’t get the nomination, but carries on as an independent, he’d still have a shot at crashing the general election debates. Perot was the last independent to accomplish that almost a quarter-century ago and ended up pulling in close to 19 percent of the popular vote.

Voters saw Perot as an outsider, someone not interested in dodging the tough questions with meaningless generalities. He didn’t have to because he didn’t have to rely on campaign contributions and funding from either major party.

Trump has that same appeal.

And The Hair’s campaign-trail popularity exposes another sad truth about the American political system: Our national elections are, in many respects, worth more for their entertainment value than for their substance. The absurdism that is an over-the-top reality TV star’s leading the polls shows how disenfranchised voters feel with dynastic political families like the Bush’s and Clintons.

Without candidates like Trump and Sanders, mainstream candidates could carry on with their talking points, and we’d get to choose between the lesser of two (or 12) evils. Maybe some of those candidates should apply for an apprenticeship.

The unlikely combo of wasps and beer Alix Vo Correspondent

Although wasps are usually seen as pests, researchers at NC State have found them to be extremely helpful in creating a new type of beer.

According to John Sheppard, a professor of food, bioprocessing & nutrition science, in the fall of 2013, he was approached to create a science of beer exhibit for the North Carolina State Science Fair which happened to coincide with the 2014 World Beer Festival in Raleigh. He collaborated with Anne Madden, a part time post-doctoral researcher at NC State and Rob Dunn, an associate professor whose primary focus area is Ecology & Evolutionary Biology.

“Beer is made from water, malt, hops and yeast, which makes up to 50 percent of the flavor of the beer,” Madden said.

Most yeasts found in nature are not able to make beer. Though this is true, almost all beers made come from two species of yeasts; top-fermenting and bottomfermenting yeasts.

Yeast is a single-celled organism that when combined with sugar, ferments to create alcohol and carbon dioxide.

The types of strains that it produces create the various flavors and also indicate the best time for consumption.

“What we did was we isolated yeasts from wasps for producing beers. From there we went to different insects, making many different beers along the way,” Madden said.

The process that they used was a proprietary protocol to isolate the yeast which led to a high success rate for isolating yeasts. Once the yeast grew away from the bee, they can grow them forever from frozen stocks, which mean fewer bees would be killed in the process.

“We were able to make great tasting beers, with valuable flavor profiles from yeast that are distantly related to the two species of yeast typically used,” Madden said.

Beer is characterized by a balance of sweetness and bitterness with some special aromatic compounds that either come from the hops or the yeast.

“They can create aromas such as apple or banana.

This yeast produces sour beer which tends to style the Belgian and Icelandic beers,” Sheppard said.

The research team presented a wasp yeast beer at last year’s World Beer Festival and said that the yeast not only makes good-tasting beer, but that it can also create one-of-a-kind flavors.

They followed up the wasp yeast beer with one made from bumblebee yeast in the 2014 Wake County Brewers

Expo.

“Rob Dunn wasn’t working on any projects to isolate yeast and he wasn’t even sure that the yeast would be able to make beer or not,” Sheppard said. “This was just a thing we decided to do for fun.”

Alex Smith is the head

brewer and Production Manager at the Raleigh Brewing Company. He says that the type of yeast has an enormous effect on the flavor and quality of the product.

“Potential differences in yeasts include ability to ferment different sugars, leaving

a beer more or less sweet after fermentation,” Smith said.

Smith also mentioned that companies are also looking around for new beers and that there are many different strains that people are isolating and using to brew with.

While NC State does not

commercially sell beer, the university is considering licensing these yeast strains to commercial breweries. That means in the near future, beer consumers could be expecting new, distinct flavors.

Power Pack , a product from Howling Cow, is a protein drink geared toward athletes and regular gym goers. The recovery drink has many health benefits and is being utilized in university athletic facilities, but can also be found around campus for students to purchase.

Howling Cow fuels athletes and students alike Zoe Phinazee Correspondent

The story of the development of Gatorade at the University of Florida for athletes has been made famous.

NC State’s Howling Cow worked with NC State Athletics to make the Power Pack protein milk, thus creating its own story of innovation.

Power Pack was developed by Carl Hollifield, the pilot plant business manager of the Department of Food, Bioprocessing and Nutrition Sciences in conjunction with the NC State Athletics and University Dining. The idea came about when Hollifield noticed a void in the protein drink market.

“We did some general market re-

search off campus and noticed that the campus community mostly had things like muscle milk and other non-water-based protein beverages,” Hollifield said.

According to Hollifield, it’s the only conventional pasteurized, milk-based product on campus, meaning that it’s not ultra-pasteurized and not a water-based beverage.

Hollifield met with the nutritionist at University Dining, Lisa Eberhart, who thought the protein drink was a great idea for NC State.

A student team within food science took the responsibility of bringing a formula to market. After testing out prototypes at on-campus C-Stores with students, the team talked to NC State Athletics to formulate a

drink for athlete recovery.

“We’re lucky to be a campus with our own dairy, so we use fresh milk,” said Diana Nguyen, director of sports nutrition. Nguyen’s roles include ordering products and food for athletes, coordinating with sports medicine, and strength and conditioning.

Power Pack is comprised of a low-fat chocolate milk base with added whey protein isolate called Bipro, granulated pure cane sugar and cocoa. To be a viable option for student athletes, the protein drink stays within the NCAA-mandated 30 percent protein limit.

“Basically we take raw milk from the farm and pasteurize it, harmonize it, and then we add the ingre-

dients,” Hollifield said.

Generally, known benefits are muscle-building whey protein which contains amino acids that are crucial for synthesis of muscle after body building or extensive activity.

Although a healthy choice, Power Pack isn’t recommended for everyone. It could be good for a post work out for someone who was working out intensely, regularly or in a club sport, but according to Hollifield, it’s not something you want to casually drink.

“It’s a milk product, so it’s going to be good for you,” Nguyen said.

“It’s not going to be overloaded with a bunch of sugars, but if you’re just a weekend warrior, you really don’t need it for a recovery drink.”

Power Pack is geared toward student athletes or health-conscious students who go to the gym.

“Many of our athletes love it,” Nguyen said. “It’s not just for football; it’s not just for basketball. I don’t recommend it to all my athletes, but for many of them, it is a good option for recovery. So, we’ll continue to order it all year long.”

Although successful with NC State Athletics, Power Pack hasn’t been marketed a great deal toward non-athletes. Power Pack can be found in C-Stores, Talley Market and the athletics facilities.

WARREN

from the Dallas Mavericks also helps bolster the Suns’ rotation by solidifying the center position. A defensive-minded center, Chandler isn’t an adept offensive player, meaning the majority of the Suns’ scoring must come elsewhere.

The addition of Chandler allows the Suns to have a more defensive presence than they did last season. Enter Warren, bolstered by his stellar Summer League play, to help carry the scoring load of a young team looking to break through the barrier of mediocrity and return to the playoffs for the first time in five seasons.

Luckily, scoring is exactly where Warren excels and has always excelled, with his patented running floater simply unstoppable once he gets going.

Warren is a unique player in the modern NBA because of his excellence at the midrange game. While most players and most teams in the analytics-savvy league are shying away from lower percentage 2-point shots in favor of higher percentage dunks and layups or greater reward 3-pointers, the 6-foot-8 Warren thrives in that zone.

He’s made a habit of turning bad shots into good ones, and while he still has plenty of areas of his game to develop, specifically his defense and 3-point shooting, Warren will only be 22 by the time the season rolls around. He has plenty of time left in a career that’s on the verge of breaking out into stardom.

playing time for Warren.

Heading into the 2015 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, Warren looked to show the Suns why he was their firstrounder back in 2014. Warren lead the Suns in scoring, averaging about 19.0 points per game, en route to a 5-2 record and an appearance in the Summer League title game, ultimately losing 93-90 to the Spurs.

The highlight of the summer for Warren came in a quarterfinal matchup with the Chicago Bulls. The Durham native dropped 31 points along with six rebounds in a 91-84 Suns win.

Just before the Suns took on the Spurs for the Summer League crown, it was announced that Warren had been named to the All-NBA Summer League First Team as selected by a panel of media members.

Warren is no stranger to Summer League honors as he was named to the All-NBA Summer League Second Team back in 2014.

With a noteworthy Summer League performance, look for Warren to challenge Tucker for the starting small forward position during training camp and throughout the season. Warren should be shuffled into the Suns’ regular rotation come the end of the season.

Pack is the return of redshirt sophomore midfielder Jackie Stengel, who missed last season due to an ACL injury.

Stengel scored just minutes after coming onto the field last Friday against San Diego, and her pedigree, skill and tenacity as an attacking midfielder should boost State’s chances of getting out of the depths of the ACC and into conference relevancy.

But before ACC play can even be considered, State has to take care of business against non-conference foes and get its first win on the board. To do that, the team has to demonstrate that it has learned the principles Santoro and the coaching staff have drilled relentlessly over the offseason: sharp ball movement, crisp and coordinated attacking patterns and organized, disciplined defending when the opponent has the ball.

1 and the Wolfpack’s first home game against the Troy Trojans, the Wolfpack has a solid chance to get an early leg up on recruiting for the 20152016 football season.

The Pack’s opponent, the Phoenix, should test the team’s progress but should not pose a huge threat. Elon returns seven starters from last season’s group that went 5-12, and the team was picked to finish eighth out of the 10 teams that make up the Colonial Athletic Association.

However, that hardly means the Pack should come in with its guard down, as Elon is fresh off an overtime victory against Davidson. It isn’t a stretch to say the Phoenix will come in confident and looking to get a first victory against NC State.

To limit Elon, NC State must keep a close eye on sophomore forward Grace Bennett.

Bennett was an All-ACC Freshman Team member last season and led the Phoenix in goals.

The Wolfpack is after its 322nd victory in program history and its first win this season.

Warren ready for NBA spotlight Drew Nantais Assistant Sports Editor

Former Pack men’s basketball standout and 2014 NBA lottery pick T.J. Warren looks to build off a solid rookie season and offseason with the hopes of playing into the starting lineup of the NBA’s Phoenix Suns.

After spending most of last season behind experienced veterans such as P.J. Tucker and Gerald Green, and standouts Marcus and Markieff Morris, it looks like Warren’s patience has paid off.

With the departure of Marcus Morris to Detroit via trade and the almost inevitable future departure of his twin brother Markieff, coupled with Warren’s outstanding play in the 2015 NBA Summer League, it looks like the 2015-16 NBA Season is Warren’s time to shine.

On July 2, in a shocking turn of events, the Suns split up the dynamic duo that was the Morris twins after they agreed to ship Marcus, along with Danny Granger and Reggie Bullock, to Detroit for a

2020 second-round draft pick.

The trade was essentially a salary dump as the Suns were attempting to clear cap space to make a run at free agent LaMarcus Aldridge, who would later opt to sign with the San

Antonio Spurs. A little more than a month later, Markieff Morris publicly demanded a trade, saying he believes the Suns acted unprofessionally in trading away his brother, and he feels disrespected as a result.

Morris has yet to be traded, but he believes he won’t be with the team by the time training camp rolls around in September. Assuming Morris is traded before the season starts, his departure opens up more

Pack hunts home opener win vs. Elon QUOTE OF THE DAY “Week in and week out, we work on what NC State needs to do to be successful.”

Ryan Nielson Defensive-line coach

Jordan Beck Sports Editor

Fresh off a valuable, if disappointing, two-game trip to San Diego for the Torero Classic, the NC St ate women’s soccer team faces Elon in the home opener tonight.

The Wolfpack (0-2-0) narrowly dropped both its West Coast contests, 2-1 and 1-0 in overtime, to San Diego (1-1-0) and No. 10 Pepperdine (2-00), respectively, last weekend.

Tonight’s 7 p.m. clash is the 13th between the two non-conference foes. So far, NC State has maintained an undefeated 120-0 record against the Phoenix (1-0-0), with the teams’ last meeting back in 2012. The Pack won that match handily, 3-0,

but tonight’s match will be the first under head coach Tim Santoro.

W hi le i n Sa n Diego, Santoro got a good look at a team seeking to escape from the bottom of the ACC ladder. Climbing those rungs will take time, especially as the Pack is a startlingly young squad this season.

Three of the top f ive Wolfpack minutes leaders so far are freshmen, and freshman goalkeeper Sydney Wootten put on one of the best performances of any Pack player, making seven saves across 80 scoreless minutes Sunday against Pepperdine.

Will Santoro continue his faith in his young shotstopper? If not, he could opt for the greater experience offered by redshirt junior Mackenzie Stelljes.

Recruiting looks to benefit from Talley, Close-King Joseph Ochoa Staff Writer

As the NC State Wolfpack prepares for its first game of the season, it will be prepping in a brand new homebase. During the summer, the Wolfpack opened the Close-King Indoor Practice Facility right across the street from the Dail Outdoor Practice Facility. With the new facility, alongside the new Talley Student Union, the Wolfpack will look to attract new recruits to use them.

The project was funded privately for $14 million, according to The News & Observer.

Defensive line coach Ryan Nielsen thinks that the facility will have a great effect on the recruitment of future Wolfpack recruits.

“It is phenomenal,” Nielsen said. “When you go in that facility, it is an unbelievable facility.”

In addition to being privately funded by the Wolfpack Club, the new facility will feature clerestory windows for natural light to flow in, remote-controlled video cameras and a full 120-yard field with suspended goal posts, according to NC State Athletics. However, one slight drawback with the facility is that it does not currently have heat or air conditioning.

KAI F. MCNEIL/TECHNICIAN

Students gather and walk thru the sky-lit atrium in Talley Student Union on Aug. 26. The SkyLit Atrium is one of the many features that were revealed in Phase II of Talley Student Union on May 8.

Many of the current athletes, including senior running back Shadrach Thornton, are expecting the facility to pay big dividends in the future, according to The News & Observer.

“Not many colleges have an indoor facility,” Thornton told The News & Observer. “That’s

one way we kind of separate ourselves from other schools.”

Along with the completion of the Wolfpack’s new practice field, the renovations to Talley Student Union were completed earlier this summer, adding brand new facilities to

the building.

The new student union will also have a vast variety of food options, such as the 1887 Bistro.

Talley Student Union, which began construction and renovation planning in 2010, has been described as a place for students to hang out and “a fancy department store,” according to The News & Observer. Renovations officially began in the summer of 2011 and concluded in the summer of 2015. Additionally, the bookstore returned to its old location in Talley Student Union after spending the past few years in Harrelson Hall.

Combined with the new practice facility, Nielsen thinks Talley Student Union will also help with the improvement of recruiting. The foundation of a modern student union is a popular convenience for students, athletes and employees alike.

“Talley is beautiful,” Nielsen said. “I haven’t been there in person yet, but I have seen photos of it, and there are people all over the place.”

In terms of what else the Wolfpack will be doing to entice recruits to come to NC State, Nielsen did not give any immediate plans.

“Talley and the facility will help,” Nielsen
