Committees debate student fees CURRENT PROPOSAL WOULD RAISE 2015-2016 FEES BY 3.91 PERCENT Katherine Kehoe News Editor
Editor’s Note: Student Media is requesting an increase in student-fee funding for both the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 school years. The Technician is a part of Student Media. Student fee increases for the 201516 and 2016-17 school years, which for the first time are now being proposed two years in advance instead of one, have undergone the first few rounds of consideration and alteration before they will ultimately be voted on by the UNC Board of Governors in February. Alex Grindstaff, the Student Senate President, the Co-Chair of the
Student Fee Review Committee and a senior in biological sciences, said the largest and most significant increase that was requested this year came from Student Health Services, which is asking for an additional $29.50 per student next year and $32.50 more for the 2016-17 year in part to help fund the expansion of the Counseling Center to Centennial Campus. “In the beginning and throughout the entire process we were pretty unanimous about the Student Health fee,” Grindstaff said. “The Counseling Center was the biggest one that we all agreed on needed something. Currently, if it didn’t hire new counselors, they wouldn’t make their accreditation.”
“The Counseling Center was the biggest one that we all agreed on...” Alex Grindstaff, Student Senate President
Waiting times are an area of concern for the Counseling Center, requiring them to request more money. With the current number of people the center currently employees it takes students up to 10 days to get in to see a counselor, Grindstaff said. Student Health Services is also requesting money to expand the
Counseling Center to Centennial Campus. In addition to bringing counselors across campus, Student Health will soon begin providing dental services on Centennial Campus that will be open to the public as a way to bring in additional revenue and make Student Health and Counseling services more self-sustaining. Student activities groups submitted requests for increases to the amount of money they receive from students in the form of student fees earlier this year. Student Senate reviewed, amended and voted on its suggested fee increases Wednesday, the University Graduate Student Associate and the Inter-Residence Council did the same on Monday, Sept. 29. These

amended proposal suggestions were then reviewed by the Student Fee Review Committee on Friday, which amended and passed new recommendations once again. David Fiala, president of the UGSA, graduate member of the Student Fee Review Committee and a graduate student of computer science, said every committee also passed the Student Legal Services proposal as it was submitted. This was due to an agreement that the salaries of all three attorneys employed by Student Legal Services would be paid at a comparable legal practice. “The director of Student Legal Services makes less money than the

College of Design redistributes budget to retain faculty members Ryen Ormesher Correspondent
The College of Design redistributed approximately $122,000 this fall, which changed the funding of several studio classes, programs such as Art2Wear and technology for the design faculty. The college will be closing its downtown studio in order to save money on rent, as well as cutting all state funding to Art2Wear and Fish Market. The programs will now need to receive funding from private sources. The budget cuts were necessary in order to keep the high-quality faculty members. The redistributed funds will go toward increasing faculty salaries, according to Marvin Malecha, the dean of the College of Design. “The only way I’m going to keep the new faculty is by paying
them more,” Malecha said. “They are really underpaid.” The budget cuts have affected several areas of the College of Design, including classes in the First Year Experience coursework that all undergraduate design students take. The studio component of the First Year Experience will now be funded by the Dean’s Office for only one semester instead of two. The individual design programs will now be responsible for funding studio costs of the second semester. “I don’t think it will be a huge problem,” said Virginia Li, a freshman in industrial design. “But some of the older students didn’t react as positively. They thought that having contact with people outside their department was really beneficial in the first year.” Malecha said he and the department heads will meet sometime
this week to finalize the cuts to next semester’s schedule. Final adjustments may still have to be made to the schedule. “I haven’t seen the exact numbers,” Malecha said. “It is likely that we are going to see fewer sections of courses, and professional electives may start being offered every other year.” Until next semester’s schedule is updated, the impact that the budget cuts will have on the students is uncertain. “Everything really just depends on how the cuts actually affect the students,” Li said. The college will also undergo administrative reorganization. The college is considering moving from two associate deans to one. The coordination of the graduate program may change as

Raleigh couple Stephen and Judy Zelnak unexpectedly donated a $4 million endowment to the Poole College of Management to help fund years of student and faculty research, recruitment, trips and initiatives within the college, according to Ira R. Weiss, dean of the Poole College of Management. Weiss is the first person to receive the title of Stephen P. Zelnak Jr. Dean’s Chair, and is now the benefactor of the first endowed deanship in NC State history. In a press release, Stephen Zelnak, former chairman and CEO of Martin Marietta Materials, said one of the main reasons he chose to support NC State was its leadership and how the university has been reorganized. “With respect to the Poole College of Management, Ira Weiss has been there as dean now for about nine years,” Zelnak said. “A lot of quiet leadership. You need to watch what he’s doing, and he’s moving the parts and just making it better and better as he goes.” Weiss said the endowment highlights the Poole College of Management as one of the best programs in the country that continues to garner community support. “It shines a light on the school, showing it clearly has the support of the community and in this case it’s a non- alumni who invested, which is very impressive that they felt it important enough

In the Oct. 1 edition of the Technician, in the article “Life on Campus: Living with the Pack,” we mischaracterized Valentine Commons and University Towers as on-campus living options. This is incorrect. Valentine Commons and University Towers are not managed by University Housing and therefore they are not considered oncampus living. We regret the mistake, and we retract the article. In Thursday’s article titled “Textile Bowl: a longstanding tradition,” we wrote that NC State and Clemson have been in the same conference since 1953. This is inaccurate. State and Clemson were founding members of the Southern Conference in 1921, but both teams broke away to found the Atlantic Coast Conference in 1953.

Garba at NC State BY SUGANDHA SINGH
Correspondent
The student veterans of NC State have started working to acquire space for an office staffed with a representative from the Department of Veterans Affairs. This office would operate separately from the existing university Office of Veterans Affairs and the department of the Office of Records and Registration that currently deals with the G.I. Bill. Matthew Smith, president of the NC State Student Veterans Association, said the V.A. proposed the idea of schools having an office with a V.A. employee to offer student veterans advice on reintegration after serving in the military, among other things. Smith, a senior in crop biotechnology, said the V.A. is willing to fund the office. However, NC State must meet certain thresholds pertaining to numbers of

student veterans, as well as have a physical space for the office. “Our numbers increased to a point where we felt that we would be at least eligible for a space,” said Sam Tripp, former President of the Student Veterans Association for the 2012-13 school year. If acquired, the new space would serve many purposes and offer a slew of services to student veterans at NC State. Tripp said the space could potentially be a place where student veterans could learn about the G.I. Bill and all of its benefits. “Not a lot of them know enough about the G.I. Bill,” Tripp said. In addition to providing a space where student veterans can have meetings and study, the office would serve as a way to unify all the services offered to veterans at the university. These services range from group counseling through Student Health to various
services offered by the Career Development Center. “There are so many different individuals and organizations that have things to offer veterans, but everything is so spread out,” Smith said. The function of this proposed office would differ greatly from the existing Office of Veterans Affairs. “The office to which you are referring is a couple of people working for the university doing the university administrative work,” Smith said. Smith said the new space would exist to serve the students rather than the university administration. However, the new space could possibly collaborate with the existing Office of Veterans Affairs to be more available to student veterans. “They could have two V.A. officials; one working in there and one working in the actual office at Registration & Records,” Tripp said. The challenge for the veter-
ans of NC State lies in the search for a space. “I think we’ve got the numbers; the big problem now is actually getting a physical location somewhere on campus,” Smith said. In the spring of 2013, the Student Veterans did have a temporary space. Tripp said when many organizations housed in the old Talley Student Union were moved to Harrelson Hall due to the renovation of Talley, the Student Veterans Association was granted a temporary space in Talley while construction occurred. However, the association was forced to leave this space due to the ongoing Talley renovations. Since leaving this space, the Student Veterans Association has been unsuccessful in its attempts to get a new space.

to invest in the leadership of the college,” Weiss said. According to Weiss, the gift is a discretionary fund and will be used to pay for various enterprises within the college. “The majority of that fund will go toward investments in the college, in essence whatever is of greatest need for the college, this becomes the fund we can tap into,” Weiss said. “We’ve already committed money to student trips, as well as faculty research for the summer, it can be used to support student groups, support faculty travel, support a scholarship or even attract a new faculty member.” The endowment will be received in the form of an annual income, about $120,000 for the next 33 years, according to Weiss. A benefit of the endowment is that unused funds at the end of each year will not be taken back. “The nice part about it is that these funds as op-

Zelnak said he wants to see the Poole College of Management become one of the best management schools in the country by improving the quality of the faculty as well as the students. “That’s one of the things that additional resources give you the opportunity to do,” Zelnak said. “You can measure in terms of student inputs, the quality of the students. We would like to see, as opportunities arise, for the addition of even higher caliber faculty to go with great faculty that is already there.”

Staff Report
The National Pan-Hellenic Council held a rally on Saturday to take a stand against racial profiling, inviting minority students from NC State and neighboring schools to march across the NC State campus and listen to Raleigh leaders speak on the subject. The Rally was the first organized by Paige Hardy, the NPHC publicity chair for 2014-15. Hardy, a senior in business administration, said she was admittedly nervous leading up to the event but was amazed by the turnout that ended up including about 50 students. “It was a powerful experience being a part of something like this.” One of the leaders of the march, who asked to remain anonymous, told a story of his connection to the people in Ferguson. His family living in Ferguson has repeatedly told him that there is no danger of violence. He stressed the need for the black community to define themselves in opposition to the negative images displayed in the media. The march began in front of the 1911 Building with a rendi-
tion of “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” often referred to as the African American National Anthem. Monse Alvarez, one of the more experienced demonstrators who participated, began improvising chants over her megaphone as the march moved through the Brickyard passing several dozen unsuspecting onlookers. The demonstrators at one point broke into a spontaneous chant saying, “Hands up! Don’t shoot!” in support of the protestors in Ferguson, Missouri. The march continued from the Brickyard through the Free Expression Tunnel, chanting all along the way, and finished at Wolf Plaza where there was a heavy moment of silence for the victims of police brutality and racial profiling, an issue that still affects the black community to this day. Some students then said a few words to the group. Hardy, a member of the Mu Omicron Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., said she saw this as a great opportunity for black students to learn to come together as a community.

well: $13,000 or $14,000 of its budget needs to be redistributed, which could cause fewer teaching and resident assistant positions available for Ph. D. students, according to Malecha. “We have pushed our departments to do more sponsored work for private sources in order to raise money,” Malecha said. The College of Design has also had to cut approximately $40,000 from its
ernors capped the amount that student fees could increase for next year at no more than 5 percent more than the $1,129.21 full-time students paid in fees for the 2014-15 school year. After the Student Fee Review Committees recommendations, the proposed increases stand at a 3.91 percent increase for 201516 and a 3.5 percent increase for 2016-17. Other fees approved for the 2015-16 school year that
will be passed on to Chancellor Randy Woodson later this month include a $6.57 increase for Education and Technology for the expansion of the DELTA Testing Center and a $1 increase to the Sustainability to fund environmentally friendly initiatives on campus. The committee approved $4.95 out of University Recreation’s original request of $8.85. The $4.95 will cover annual increases, but the
funds for faculty technology such as personal computers rather than teaching technologies for the classroom. This may put the design faculty behind the professional standard. “The standard for new equipment in the professional design offices is a three-year rotation,” Malecha said. “If you are at anything less than a three-year rotation, you are falling behind the offices.” To combat this, the College of Design is considering imposing a hand-down system in which higher-tech faculty would receive updated technology, allowing
them to pass down their old technology to faculty with less need for hightech equipment. “It will have to be a priority for next year’s budget,” Malecha said. A lt hough t he budget cuts will have an impact on design classes, Malecha said the cuts were made to best accommodate the students. “The best thing I can do for a young design student is to put them in a class with a great teacher,” Malecha said. “Everything else comes secondary.”
committee did not approve the $3.90 request to fund Athletic Training Services, according to the unofficial minutes from the office of the Vice Chancellor and Dean for Academic and Student Affairs.

Insect cuisine: not food for insects, insects for food he average male’s dorm room or apartment has at least two different brands of supplemented protein powder. It serves as a meal supplement for students on the go and post-workout shakes to maximize the anabolic window. Protein is an irreplaceable part of growing muscles and vital for any college student trying to maximize his or her training. But protein powder regiments can become monotonous, and some f lavors Tyler Gobin can be downright Staff Columnist disgusting. Why not boost your supplements with an extremely nutritional and overlooked source of protein—insects? An estimated two billion people in developing countries worldwide already depend on more than 1,900 different species of insects for food according to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization. Insect cuisine has long been an important part of diets around the world. Recipes incorporating bugs into snacks, main courses and even desserts exist in many cultures. Unfortunately, insect cuisine is only a niche market in the United States despite its nutritious and sustainable advantages. Insect harvesting causes exceedingly less damage to the environment than other protein sources such as beef, poultry and pork. The Food and Agriculture Organization has conducted studies demonstrating that growing, harvesting, and processing insects emit only 1 percent of the same greenhouse gases cattle processing produces. Harvesting insects also requires considerably less water. Insects can be raised humanely in small spaces, don’t require antibiotics or growth hormones and pose fewer risks of spreading zoonotic diseases to humans. Rose Wang, cofounder of Six Foods, successfully launched a Kickstarter, earning $70,000 for the sake of founding “Chirps,” chips made out of crickets. “There is no question that insects are the most humane way to eat meat,” Wang said. Bugs have an incredibly small environmental footprint and pack an impressive nutritional punch. Crickets, for example, are high in fats that contain omega-3 fatty acids, rich in protein, and have other key vitamins such as calcium and iron, according to Michael Molloy, an immunologist formerly associated of the National Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases. A 3.5-ounce serving can contain up to 28 grams of protein and replace an afternoon protein shake. “It’s a no-brainer to begin to incorporate insects into our diet as a protein source,” said Florence V. Dunkel, an associate professor of plant sciences at Montana State University. Traditional sources of protein such as fish, chicken or peanuts are often monotonous. Insects are the variety health gurus and gym buffs alike crave. Fortunately, insect cuisine has begun to crawl into specialty health food stores, but remains unknown to the general public. Luckily, today’s young people are known for, or are at least expected, to change things up. We are the “green generation” who desire adventure. Even for those hesitant to bite into a protein bar riddled with crickets, know that the taste is not atrocious. The taste and consistency are similar to a power bar and make for an easy transition to products made with insects. Chapul brand cricket bars were the first energy bar made from cricket flour and reside in more than 200 health, bike and outdoor sports stores. Each bar contains the equivalent of 25 crickets. The founder, Pat Crowely, appeared on the ABC series Shark Tank and convinced Mark Cuban to help him expand the company. “It’s a solution to a problem,” Cuban said. “We need better sources of protein, and over time I think consumer habits will change.” Other companies to embrace the new paradigm include Exo, which makes paleo-friendly protein bars and All Things Bugs, which sells cricket flour to the expanding market. Sustainability is the mantra of our generation, and healthy alternatives to industrialized farming are hard to come by. The insect industry thrives in places such as Southeast Asia, and it needs to exist here. It will reduce the impact from our staple protein sources by siphoning demand to insects and will help us pursue a greener future. The future is worth it. And once you get past the mental hurdle, it’s a quite tasty future.

Hong Kong’s unreliable future
Putting the “ick” in cricket Julie Smitka, junior in physics and philosophy

TECHNICIAN
hat happened in Hong Kong last week filled the headlines of many media outlets around the globe. The global financial hub garnered international attention with college students who took to the street to protest the Chinese government’s failing promise of universal suffrage to Hong Kong citizens by 2017. In 1984, Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping negotiated with British Ziyi Mai Pr i me M i n i ster Staff Columnist Margaret Thatcher about the future of Hong Kong. In the meeting, Xiaoping proposed a formula that would guarantee the smooth handover of the territory from Britain to China, allowing the British colony to retain a high degree of autonomy, freedom and civil rights. Hong Kong would not be completely transferred for another 13 years. Hong Kong’s constitution written under Xiaoping’s formula explicitly states, “the selection of Chief Executive by universal suffrage upon nomination by a broadly representative nominating committee.” But a few weeks ago, China’s legislature ruled out any chance that citizens
might have the right to nominate candidates for chief executive, insisting that candidates for chief executive must gain majority support of the nominating committee, controlled by powerful businesspeople allied with Beijing. This was the main decision that triggered last week’s massive protests and the “Occupy Central” campaign, paralyzing the financial center for more than a week. Despite the tense standoff between the government and demonstrators, there is little hope that Beijing will change its mind on its decision to limit the scope of future elections. Since 1997, when Hong Kong returned to China, many foreign affair pundits predicted that the Chinese Communist Party would either reform its political system or die. Unfortunately, they are overly optimistic and underestimate the authoritarian nature of the regime. It is not surprising that China’s current leaders have not honor their predecessors’ commitment to Hong Kong. Executive officials issue decrees, which appear arbitrary and inconsistent. Once these leaders retire or die, those decrees are not likely to be implemented by their successors. Instead, successors issue new decrees that might sharply contrast with past
policy. Even if Xiaoping intended to let the people of Hong Kong have the right to elect the chief executive, his vision did not pass down to the new generation because Chinese leaders are not constrained by law. In 2012, Beijing intended to impose a tougher suffrage policy on Hong Kong out of fear that the spirit of public elections would spread to other areas of China, threatening its control. Beijing issued a white paper demanding all Hong Kong administrators to meet the political requirement of “loving the country.” The white paper was largely interpreted as Beijing’s intention to step over Hong Kong’s judicial independence. The resulting protests struck down the mandatory changes in the curriculum but tensions regarding voter’s rights remain. All these ominous signs cloud Hong Kong’s future that is supposed to be fulfilled under Xioaping’s Basic Law. Hong Kong is clearly ready for democracy, but the potential result of opening general elections is too risky for Beijing to accept.

Spanking is not a suitable punishment I
was not usually spanked as a child, save for the occasional newspaper lashing. Instead, my parents either sent me to time-out to think about what I’d done or gave me a lecture about why what I did was wrong. Let’s look at these individual reprimands. The first, hitting with a newspaper, is how someone would punish a dog for getting into the trash can or drinking out of the toilet. It is also a common way parents discipline their kids. You would never send a dog to timeMary Anna out or lecture it for chewing up shoes. Rice Children should Correspondent not be punished the same way we punish dogs. As comedian Louis C.K. said, “Here’s the crazy part about it: Kids are the only people in the world that you’re allowed to hit … They’re the most vulnerable and the most destroyed by being hit, but it’s totally OK to hit them.” Hitting someone else is dehumanizing because it is an attempt to establish physical dominance over that person. By hitting a child, the punishment is tantamount to sheer governance by fear. The fact is a child can make no answer to being hit. Children cannot possibly retaliate because the adult will always have the upper hand in physical strength. To the child’s question of “Why should I behave?” the adult asserts,
“Because I’m much stronger and larger than you are, and I will hurt you if you don’t.” I don’t believe the thought process reflects that level of animosity in most cases when adults discipline their children. Spanking, for most parents who utilize it, is a shorthand method for deterring bad behavior. It makes logical sense from an objective perspective. Spanking is an example of positive punishment, a form of operant conditioning. For example, if a child behaves badly and the caregiver reacts by presenting a punishment, then the bad behavior will likely decrease due to the presence of a punishment. However, to reiterate my point, we should not conflate the punishment of children with the conditioning of animals. As developing human beings, kids are extremely complex beings with still-forming personalities and should be treated as such. According to the Washington Post, a study conducted in 2012 suggested that physical punishment can lower a child’s IQ and reduce the amount of gray matter in the brain, responsible for sensory perception and learning ability. Another study, conducted in 2013, revealed that abused girls may cause the release of hormones that can trigger early puberty. These and other studies suggest that the damage of spanking and other forms of corporal punishment stretch much further than bruising or tears. Though it may be a simple and easy-to-employ solution, spanking reduces children to machines that

ought to produce a certain output in response to an unwanted stimulus. Spanking might also be a way parents endeavor to exert control over the growing individualization of their children—a flawed reason, if any. When parents hit their children as punishment, children don’t only think, “OK, I won’t do that again.” They dwell on the pain they suffered at the hands of the only people they’re supposed to be able to trust. They wonder why their parents would hurt them on purpose. An occasional smack on the hand may be one thing, but the application of recurrent spankings should be examined more closely. This sort of chastisement may ward off instances of bad behavior in children, but it only does so in providing another example of what can be considered “bad behavior.” Where should we draw the line between spanking and child abuse? Perhaps we shouldn’t. If every such encounter between a child and an adult is one blow away from being considered criminal, what makes it acceptable in the first place? Some people proudly proclaim, “Yes, I hit my kids. They deserve it. They’ve got to know how it is, how the world works.” And, unfortunately, they’re learning that the world works under an archaic “survival of the fittest” mentality. They hardly deserve it. Children, by definition, have not lived long enough to be able to discern right from wrong. Why should they be physically harmed for being ignorant?

Gone Girl is David Fincher’s latest masterpiece Gone Girl David Fincher Artemple
Kevin Schaefer Associate Features Editor
Gone Girl opens and closes with the same image: Viewers see a surrealist close-up of central character Amy Dunne (Rosamund Pike), coupled with a voiceover by her husband Nick (Ben Affleck). By the time the film reaches its conclusion, this shot takes on an entirely different meaning, one that will leave audiences both puzzled and amazed. Adding to director David Fincher’s already impressive thriller resume, Gone Girl follows the story of this troubled couple and the mystery surrounding Amy’s sudden disappearance. As an investigation commences, the evidence points to Nick as the most likely suspect. What’s more is that both Fincher and screenwriter Gillian Flynn keep audiences guessing the entire time, so the movie twists and turns and rises above the conventions of a typical crime drama plot. Perhaps the best aspect of this film lies in its non-chronological storytelling from the perspectives of both Nick and Amy. While the present action deals with Nick’s dealing with the media and their efforts to find him guilty, these scenes are contrasted with flashbacks showcasing the history of his relationship with Amy. This sort of literary approach makes sense, given that Flynn not only wrote the script but also the novel, which the movie is based on. It works as it defies a lot of the clichés associated with this genre—car chases, shootouts, one-dimensional characters—and the film also contains elements of surrealism and ambiguity throughout. Although Aff leck gives a strong performance—one that is worthy of comparison
to his previous work in The Town and Argo— Pike no doubt steals the show as the troubled wife whom Nick describes as “complicated.” Her character gives new meaning to the term femme fatale, as she is able to continually change viewers’ perception of her. Amy’s manipulative, abused, neglected, intelligent, clever nature makes her altogether impossible to unravel. Furthermore, the film contains other strong female roles. The Detective Rhonda Boney (Kim Dickens) reminded me of Frances McDormand’s character in Fargo with her commanding presence and strong mindedness, not to mention the mid-western accent they each possess. There’s also an interesting dynamic between Nick and his sister, Margo (Carrie Coon), who’s one of the first to learn about her brother’s secrets. Fincher no doubt masters suspense, as evidenced by earlier films of his such as Zodiac and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Even his film The Social Network keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. Fincher displays a knack for finding good stories to tell and a respect for the source material on which his films are based, while also creating memorable cinematic experiences. The opening montage alone establishes the film’s dark and complex tone through its juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated images. However, this also points to the only real flaw in the film: its sheer ridiculousness. As I mentioned earlier, Amy’s character is impossible to fully understand. Although this aspect draws audiences into the narrative, it also leads to implausible story elements as well as plot holes. Then again, that might very well have been what Fincher and Flynn had in mind all along. Either way, the final product is undeniably entertaining. Gone Girl manages to stick with both hardcore cinephiles wwand casual moviegoers alike. This thriller captures audiences’ attention throughout its two-and-a-half-hour runtime, which demands multiple viewings.

Fall Break preview: campus organization trips Brandon Yunker Correspondent
It is that time of the year again. Not just election season, but also fall break. To some students this means binge-watching shows on Netflix while scarfing down pumpkin pie and whipped cream. To others, fall break provides a wonderful opportunity to take advantage of the trips provided by programs here at NC State. Alternative Service Break will be having two separate trips over fall break. One will
be to Atlanta, Georgia, focusing on civil rights and gender equity. This trip, a partnership with Multicultural Student Affairs and the Women’s Center, will allow students to visit civil rights historical sites and perform service work. According to Jennifer Castillo, a trip advisor with ASB, the participants will be exposed to programs and organizations that focus on gender, race, class, ethnicity, age and socio-economic status. They will visit NC A&T University, the International Civil Rights Museum in Greensboro, North Carolina, the Boys and Girls Club of Atlanta and Ebenezer
Baptist Church. “We began to partner with Multicultural Student Affairs three years ago to help students get a better understanding of intersectionality and a broader understanding of diversity,” Castillo said. According to Castillo, ASB is also offering a trip to Washington, D.C., that will allow students to visit the sites of the U.S. Capital while volunteering with service projects focused on homelessness and hunger. ASB is also offering a trip called the Raleigh by Three, which allows students seeking out-
door adventure to experience Raleigh via three modes of transportation. Outdoor Adventure, a program within University Recreation, is collaborating with the University Scholars Program to sponsor this trip. Students will hike at the Falls Lake State Recreation area, canoe on the Neuse River and bike their way back to campus on the Raleigh Greenways. Outdoor Adventures is also offering a sea kayaking trip, which will take place at Cedar Point and Hammocks Beach State Park in the Outer Banks. A third excursion will take a backpacking trip to Linville Gorge.

Triangle Garba comes to NC State CAIDE WOOTEN/TECHNICIAN
Meera Patel, senior in economics, takes part in the Triangle Garba dance Saturday evening in the Talley Ballroom. Garba is a traditional Indian folk dance originating in Gujarat. The dance was sponsored by EKTAA of NCSU, Sangam of UNC-Chapel Hill and Diya of Duke.
Taylor Quinn Associate Features Editor
To the right of the door leading into the Talley Ballroom, a large pile of abandoned shoes lie, which were kicked off by the colorfully adorned people dancing in the middle of the room. The Triangle Garba celebration, organized by the South Asian Student Association, took place Saturday night. More than 100 people stood in groups taking photos and socializing with new and old friends alike. The music was playing, but it wasn’t until the song changed that those small groupings of people morphed into a single line of synchronized dancing in a circle. The circle revolved around a table in the middle of the room. According to Samruddhi Kilkarni, a senior in electrical engineering, the statue placed on top of the table in the middle of the room is a vital piece of the dance. “That is the statue of God in the middle. The dances move in circles around the God and the more circles you do, the more it shows our devotion,” Kilkarni said. “It just gives a lot of respect.” After a few dances, most of the attendees gathered close around the table for a prayer to worship the goddess, Shakti. When the prayer was over, at-
tendees began to participate in a different traditional dance, Raas. This dance requires two lines of people to face each other and interact with their partner across from them using sticks called dandiyas. The participants hit the dandiyas together in a specific pattern that repeats while moving either right or left so the participant has a different partner after each pattern is completed. Vijay Sadanani, a junior in economics and co-president of NCSU EKTAA, NC State’s South Asian Student Association said he was ecstatic with the turnout. According to Sadanani, who was also one of the organizers of the event, Triangle Garba was the first big event the association has put on. “This is a really good time to express ourselves through dance and get in touch with culture,” Sadanani said. “Also just to relax, especially for students around mid-term exams just to have a good time.” Earlier in the night, Dharmik Patel, a sophomore in textile technology, hurried toward Talley with his friends adorned in traditional Indian attire. According to Patel, they were running a little late but were excited to celebrate. Patel said he was attending to meet a lot of people, have fun and most importantly, dance. He explained that the event was held on the last day of the Garba celebration, so it

was their final day to celebrate. The event was Patel’s first cultural event at NC State. “I’ve been celebrating Raas for the last three to four years,” Patel said. “It’s like all the holidays combined. It’s really fun.” Tucked into the far left side of the room, Yasha Aluru and Suraj Kute,
first year graduates in industrial and systems engineering, swayed along to the music from afar. According to Aluru, they were not yet ready to dance. “This dance is too fancy,” Aluru said. “We are waiting for the traditional dance.” Both Aluru and Kute came from

India to pursue their graduate degrees. Aluru is from Hyderabad and Kute is from Mumbai. Although Aluru is from India, this was her first Garba. “I’m glad I came,” Aluru said. “It’s beautiful”
Looking at trends: Student blog promotes fashion culture Sarah Keener Staff Writer
For those with an interest in the fashion world, a group of students here at NC State has made a way for keeping up with all of the latest trends and styles. PackFashion is a student-run online fashion publication from the College of Textiles. Students are
posting on www.packfashion.com and its social media more than ever before. The organization has moved from a small group of students into a recognizable name at NC State. Michael Cottingham, editor-inchief of the site and senior in fashion and textile management, has been leading PackFashion’s transformation into a more diverse publication during the past six months.

“We showcase students’ work with everything we post,” Cottingham said. “Students do everything from managing, writing, styling, public relations, social media, photography, hair or makeup, and we do showcase student designs as much as possible.” Because the College of Textiles fosters a close-knit environment, friendships form among students who can transcend into a productive and professional environment on PackFashion. “We work with young professionals and love using new talent,” Cottingham said. “We do get recommendations from friends and colleagues, but focus mainly on their work rather than their social life. If you know anything about the College of Textiles and design, you know everyone, so it’s hard to find someone that you haven’t already heard about.” Jefferson Ellis, a senior in the College of Textiles, founded PackFashion in 2012. According to Cottingham, PackFashion was created to provide students the chance to express themselves through a collaborative, creative outlet, which had been lacking in the College of Textiles. PackFashion allows those students who contribute to the publication the opportunity to gain experience in styling, photography, fashion edi-
torials and fashion journalism. “I’ve always been interested in both fashion writing and clothing construction,” said Jenna Calderone, a sophomore in fashion and textile management and one of the creative directors for PackFashion. “I’m learning about construction, exploring brand management and honing some interviewing and editorial skills in school, so PackFashion is a place where I get to entertain all of those interests while honing the skills that I’m learning in the classroom.” Now consisting of 33 students, PackFashion also provides a creative outlet for students, including Katherine McCuiston, a sophomore in meteorology. “The thing I love most about reading and writing for PackFashion is that we’re an art blog,” McCuiston said. “Us writers see clothing as canvases and works of art instead of simply a ‘cute shirt.’ That’s how it should be—fashion is expressing yourself.” In an effort to reach more students, PackFashion has been revamping its website to include editorials while also making improvements, according to Cottingham. In addition to its constant posting of news articles, features, events and photo shoots, PackFashion
also maintains a large social media presence. Its Twitter includes quotes from famous designers and snapshots of trend-setting celebrities; whereas its Instagram features photos of fresh, seasonal styles and its Facebook links all these online platforms together. In its ever-growing variety of editorials, PackFashion covers everything from fashion week to student style. PackFashion also makes a point to acknowledge developments in new style—both in the fashion world and in the lives of NC State students and designers, according to Cottingham. “I like that they use student’s work because I think it makes it a bit more relatable to us students and more fun and unique, rather than simply only talking about recent fashion shows and things that anyone could see or read,” said Anna Argentine, a sophomore in fashion and textile design. One of the current events PackFashion covers is commentary on the Polo Ralph Lauren for Women Spring 2015 runway show. Cottingham said the leaders of the PackFashion group hope to have their website content published in print for campus-wide distribution in the future.

That was probably the worst game I’ve ever played in my life.” NC State fans should take solace in the fact that this is not the Wolfpack’s worst shutout. The loss at Clemson does not compare to the 128-0 spanking by Georgia Tech in 1918, but was only four points away to matching the Pack’s worst conference shutout in 1984, when the Pack was dealt a 45-0 beat down by Virginia.

Clemson obliterates Pack in Textile Bowl NC State recruits sought after running back
NC State landed a major recruit this past week in running back Reggie Gallaspy. Gallaspy is ranked by ESPN’s RecruitingNation as the 38th-best back in the nation and the fourthbest in the state of North Carolina. Gallaspy hails from Greensboro, North Carolina, where he stars at Southern Guilford High School. The talented senior has already gained 1,604 all-purpose yards along with 21 touchdowns in just six games. Gallaspy is a deadly runner and is known for his speed off the edges and a tremendous amount of power when running downhill. Gallaspy turned down offers from schools all over the nation, including Arkansas, California, Louisville, West Virginia and Wisconsin, in favor of the Pack. SOURCE: SCOUT.COM, ESPN.COM
Takaways from NC State’s shutout loss
The NC State football team’s shutout by the Clemson Tigers on Saturday marks the team’s first shutout since the 2011-2012 season, when the Pack faced off against the Florida State Seminoles. FSU scored 34 unanswered points against the Pack on Oct. 29, 2011. Shutouts aside, the Pack has scored more than 40 points in its previous three games before playing the Tigers, and the team still boasts a 33.7 points per game average on the season.

The NC State football team endured an embarrassing 41-0 shutout from the Clemson Tigers on Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium, marking the Pack’s worst loss in the Textile Bowl’s 83game history. Nothing seemed to go right for the Wolfpack on both sides of the ball, while nothing seemed to go wrong for the talented Clemson team. Coming off his dynamic first start against UNC-Chapel Hill, freshman quarterback Deshaun Watson showed off his arm strength in Clemson’s first drive, throwing a 56-yard pass over the heads of the Wolfpack defense to sophomore wide receiver Mike Williams for the easy first punch. Watson scored consecutively on his second drive after throwing another touchdown pass for 31 yards to Williams, who dove between two defenders for the
catch. Williams had a prolific day at receiving on his 20th birthday. After continuous three-and-outs from the Wolfpack offense, Watson took advantage of NC State’s worn-out defense, using his legs to maneuver through gaping holes at the line of scrimmage. The freshman rushed for 34 yards in three carries in the drive, capping off the unanswered attack by hurdling over sophomore cornerback Jack Tocho for the touchdown. “We all knew he could run the ball,” senior linebacker Rodman Noel said. “We just didn’t really play assignment football. We have people accounting for everybody, and we just didn’t make plays today.” The NC State offense and defense had yet to make a stand, as the Pack went three-and-out on its first four series. “Third downs in the first half were killer on both sides of the ball,” head coach Dave Doeren said. “We could never get any momentum. If you get a first down, then you can get some PHOTO COURTESY OF NCSU ATHLETICS

It wasn’t pretty, but after 90 minutes, the NC State men’s soccer team earned its biggest win to date, defeating No. 5 Louisville 2-1 Friday night in Raleigh. Sophomore winger Travis Wannemuehler continued his run of good form and scored his third goal in three games in the 52nd minute before assisting junior winger Reed Norton’s first career NC State goal in the 75th. The Cardinals would get one back in the 83rd, but junior goalkeeper Alex McCauley’s 12 saves preserved the 2-1 Wolfpack win. “We’re a young team,” State Head Coach Kelly Findley said post-match. “Gaining confidence and belief is the number one thing for us.” The injury-ridden Wolfpack (4-4-2, 1-2-1 ACC) came into Friday’s contest, the annual Kay Yow Pink Match in honor of breast cancer awareness, on a two-game losing streak and desperately needing a victory, but the fifth-ranked Cardinals (5-3-1, 3-1 ACC) were no slouches, being undefeated in the ACC. From the opening whistle, Louisville dominated possession while the Pack sat deep and looked to break forward on the counter attack. The Cardinals exhibited a few moments of shakiness playing out from the back, and a loose pass from senior goalkeeper Joachim Ball was intercepted and nearly passed home early by Wannemuehler, but Ball recovered to make the save. Louisville grew into the game, however, and dominated play for the rest of the half, sending shot after shot at McCauley’s net. McCauley and the Wolfpack defense repelled the Cardinals’ assault each time, but it took heroics from the

State netminder to keep the scores level. McCauley denied Louisville twice from point blank range and made a flying tip over the bar on a Louisville driven shot destined for the net. At halftime, McCauley had recorded seven saves and the Cardinals had outshot the Wolfpack 9-2 and had the edge in corner kicks 8-1. The second half continued the pattern of State defending deep in its own end while Louisville attacked continuously, but it was the Wolfpack who struck first against the run of play. McCauley played a short goal kick out of the back and the State defense patiently worked the ball to the feet of junior midfielder Holden Fender, who spotted the run of Wannemuehler and launched a 60-yard pass over the Cardinals’ defense. Initially, the pass seemed
over-hit, but the Louisville keeper misjudged its flight and the ball skimmed over his head and into the path of Wannemuehler, who calmly volleyed home to give the Pack a 1-0 lead in the 53rd minute and score his third goal in three games. “It’s been a long time coming,” Wannemuehler said. “I’ve really changed my attitude in the past few weeks. I’m working harder. Last year I didn’t have the right mentality but now I’m making the runs I need to make.” Less than 10 minutes later, it seemed like State’s lead would disappear and McCauley’s goal would finally be breached, as junior Louisville forward Ricardo Velazco drew contact from freshman State defender Matias Fracchia, earning the Cardinals a penalty kick.

Just one win away from tying the school record for consecutive wins at 13, the NC State volleyball team dropped its matchup with Wake Forest on Friday night. The loss marked the Wolfpack’s first since Aug. 29. Despite jumping out to a two-set lead, State was unable to seal the deal against a Demon Deacon squad that came out on fire in the last three sets. “I’m kind of lef t wondering what happened,” senior middle blocker Alesha Wilson said. Errors set the tone early in the first set for Wake: six of the Wolfpack’s first nine points came off of Deacon miscues. State was able to secure the first set, 25-20, with ease. Freshman middle blocker Kaitlyn Kearney made her presence felt early in the second set of the match, notching three of the Pack’s first five kills. Kearney paced her team in kills on the night with 16; she also recorded 12 blocks. “She was very good of fen sively,” he ad coach Br yan Bunn said. “She had 12 block assists. That’s what a middle should do when we play a fiveset match: You have to get blocks.” Despite a close set, the Pack never relinquished its lead after going ahead, 2-1. A kill by Kearney sealed the deal, giving the Pack a 25-22 victory and a two-set lead going into intermission.
However, the Deacons were not finished. Wake got off to a hot start out the intermission, delivering five straight kills on its way to a 6-2 start. The Deacons did not let up, and State was forced to call a timeout after falling behind, 13-7. “I have to give it to Wake Forest,” Wilson said. “They stepped up their game and made fewer errors.” The Pack battled back to tie the match at 20 apiece. The two squads battled back and forth, but the Deacons eventually edged the State squad, 27-25. At 24-22, State found itself serving for match point. However, the team committed an error on the serve, and proceeded to give Wake three of its final four points on errors. “You can’t do that on the road,” Bunn said. “You have to take care of the ball.” Wake rode its momentum into the fourth set. After taking the lead at 3-2, the Deacons never looked back, taking the set, 25-21, to tie the match at two sets apiece. Senior outside hitter Jazmin Russell led Wake in the set, notching six of her game-high 23 kills in the fourth. Russell had an all-around excellent showing for the Deacons, recording 10 digs, two blocks and a service ace in addition to her stellar offensive performance. “We knew she was out there, we just didn’t do a very good job of blocking her,” Bunn said. “We were straight up on our blocks, didn’t press over at all, and she kept going straight through our hands. The defense had no opportunity to play defense.” The Pack came out
