Correction regarding flu shot Technician article

ABHILASHA JAIN/TECHNICIAN

Thomas LaBean, associate professor at NC State and Alexandria Marchi, a postdoctoral researcher, have devised a solution to create DNA structures larger in size than what could be achieved using conventional DNA synthesis techniques. DNA origami allows researchers to link DNA scaffolds with smaller bits of nucleic acid to create desired shapes.

Researchers shape and fold DNA into origami Jess Thomas Staff Writer

Researchers from NC State, Duke and the University of Copenhagen have discovered a way to synthesize larger pieces of DNA origami than previously done in a lab setting. DNA origami is the science of folding DNA into shapes at a nanoscale size. Thomas LaBean, an associate professor in material sciences en-

gineering and principal investigator of the research, said DNA origami is created by folding a single strand of DNA using a set of shorter synthetic strands. “What we do is take a long single strand of DNA that is prepared from a biological source and fold up the strand of DNA using a set of short synthetic strands,” LaBean said. LaBean said, in order to increase the size of the origami, the research-

As flu season approaches, the Student Health Center is gearing up to keep students protected against the annual virus.

Blue Cross, Aetna, Humana, SummaCare and Coventry Health Care of the Carolinas, Inc (formally Wellpath). Students with other insurance providers can pay $25 for the vaccination at the time of service by cash or check, or they can bill the full cost to their student accounts. Students who cannot make one of the scheduled clinics can visit the Student Health Center between 9 a.m. and noon each Saturday between October 18 and November 15 and also on January 10 and 24. Flu shots are available by appointment on weekdays through the Health Center, and walk-in flu shots are available at the Student Health Pharmacy, both for $25. Nasal vaccines, which are administered through the nose without a needle, are available at the Pharmacy without an appointment for $35. Student Blue, NC State’s university approved health plan, covers 100 percent of the cost of a flu shot.

ers incorporated separate components of two different viruses. “We took parts of two different viruses,” LaBean said. “The large virus is called lambda phage, which is 49 kilobases and double-stranded. The smaller one is called M13, which is seven kilobases, but it only packs single strand genome.” By incorporating the different components of each virus, the re-

In Wednesday’s issue of the Technician, in the article titled “Health center offers free flu shots for students, employees,” we incorrectly reported that flu shots are free for all students, employees and employee’s family members. We apologize for the error. All students will be able to receive a flu shot at one of several clinics hosted by Student Health this fall and winter. Student Health will file insurance for each student receiving a shot, which will generally cover the full cost of the vaccination, according to Leah Arnett, the director of Student Health Services. Employees will be able to receive a f lu shot at one of the Human Resources Department events on campus, but the vaccines will not be provided through the Student Health Center. In collaboration with Maxim Health Systems, Student Health Services will host several flu vaccination clinics between October 14 and January 21 at various locations across campus. No appointment is required at these clinics. However, students will need to present a photo ID and a copy of their insurance card before being seen, according to Arnett. Students with the following insurance carriers will receive the shot for free as part of their health insurance coverage: Medicare Part B, PFFS Medicare Advantage Plans, Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina, BCMS of MA, Premera

Editor’s note: NC State Student Media is requesting an increase for the 2015-2016 school year. The Technician is a member of Student Media. About 16 students met to voice their opinions about proposed student fee increases for the 2015-2016 school year at a public hearing open for all students in the Talley Governance Chamber on Thursday. The students in attendance discussed the breakdown of student fees as well as the areas in which they would like to cut funding. “Our common goal out of [this meeting] is to get student input,” said Arianna Nasser, the Chair of the Tuition and Fees Committee of the NC State Student Senate and senior in biomedical engineering. Student Government will use the concerns voiced at the

meeting to guide how it votes on the proposed student fee increases. Student Senate will vote on its recommendations Wednesday. Those recommendations will be considered by the NC State Tuition Review Advisory Committee when it votes a few days after the Student Senate’s meeting. After the commitee votes to approve the increases, they will go through a few more levels of approval before they ultimatly have to be approved by the UNC-System’s Board of Governors. The current proposed student fee increase stands at 4.77 percent, but it needs to be lowered to around 3 percent, Nasser said. Many university departments that receive money from student fees each year have asked for an increases for the upcoming year to fund additional projects, positions and operating requirements. However, some of these requests for increased funds are to solely cover the cost of

living increase from year to year. “Some of [the fee increases] are just to cover inflation,” said Nasser. Some departments are requesting increases to cover mandatory salary increases. Student Health Services requested the highest budget increase, mostly to cover the cost of new counselors for the Counseling Center. In addition to the new counselors, Student Health would also like to open a facility on Centennial Campus that will add counselors and include dental services that would be open to the public. A part of the revenue generated from these dental services would go back to the university, helping negate the funding cost. University Recreation requested an increase in part to get a new athletic trainer to serve students. Some students present at the hearing were apprehen-

searchers created a hybrid virus that was able to produce larger strands that could be used to create DNA origami, LaBean said. “We had to make the hybrid virus because we wanted to use the bulk of the lambda phage, and we wanted the virus to be packaged as single strand,” LaBean said. LaBean said the hybrid virus required approximately 1600 synthetic strands to fold it into a piece of DNA origami. “Having to purchase 1600 staples would cost around $7000, so one of our colleagues converted ink jet printer heads, and he converted it to a DNA synthesizer that could be used to create the staples that fold the scaffold strand,” LaBean said. According to LaBean, one of the advantages of using DNA origami is receiving a high percentage of assembly yield that have a high level of uniformity. “The cool thing about origami is that you get a really nice assembly yield, and we were able to increase the size

of the origami by nearly sevenfold while maintaining the efficiency,” LaBean said. Alexandria Marchi, a postdoctoral student from Duke and the first author of the paper, said the application of DNA origami can be used in several areas of study. “Eventual applications of the DNA origami technique is in any kind of area where things have to be organized at the single nanometer digit scale, such as biology where things happen at the molecular scale,” Marchi said.

sive about this request, however. Student Legal Services requested an increase to hire a new lawyer to aid students at the university. David Fiala, president of the University Graduate Students Association and a graduate student in computer science, said the highest paid lawyer at NC State gets paid less than the lowest paid lawyer at UNCChapel Hill. Without an increase in funds, Student Legal Services would have to consider cutting

Volunteering enriches community and self A

Anything you say Erin Holloway, Senior in English and anthropology

You have the right to remain silent F

or thirty years, Henry Lee McCollum and Leon Brown sat in a North Carolina prison for a rape and murder they didn’t commit. There was no physical evidence linking them to the crime, so McCollum’s and Brown’s convictions rested heavily on coerced confessions given under the false belief that if they “talked,” they would be able to go home. They finally got to do just that, after a fresh look at DNA evidence led to the exoneration of both men. McCollum and Brown CR Denning might have avoided spending the majority of Correspondent their adult years incarcerated if someone had given them one piece of advice: Never talk to the police. “Any lawyer worth his salt will tell the suspect in no uncertain terms to make no statement to police under any circumstances,” wrote Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson, a former United States Attorney General and chief prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials. Even with such credentials, Jackson realized the importance of the Fifth Amendment’s protection against selfincrimination. The necessity of this protection shows up, too, in the Supreme Court in Miranda v. Arizona, resulting in the requirement of the “Miranda warning.” If you’ve ever watched an episode of Law & Order, chances are you’ve heard it: “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law,” and so on. The Court saw Fifth Amendment rights as so vital they thought it necessary that suspects are informed of their rights before any interrogation takes place. While Miranda law applies only after arrest, your right to remain silent exists even if you haven’t been arrested. If police stop you, an officer may ask if you know why you are being stopped or where you’ve been and where you’re going. Though these types of questions might seem harmless, they are only asked as a way to gather additional evidence against you. When an officer pulls you over for speeding and asks, “Do you know how fast you were going?” it’s not because he’s checking the accuracy of his radar gun. The question is designed to elicit an admission of guilt. Even if you answer

that you were only going a couple miles an hour over the limit, you’re admitting that you broke the law, and that statement can and will be used against you. You have no obligation to give an officer any information or answer any questions beyond providing your license if stopped while driving a vehicle (and in some states, you are required to give ID even if you’re not driving). Not only are you not required to answer questions, in no way does answering help you. According to law professor at Regent University School of Law and Fifth Amendment expert James Duane, not only can statements made to the police be used against you, they cannot be used in your defense. But what if you’re innocent? If you have nothing to hide, what’s the harm in talking to the police? McCollum and Brown were innocent, yet their statements to police sent them to prison for three decades. McCollum and Brown falsely confessed, but a confession is not necessary for statements to land you in jail. A “white lie,” or even a misstatement, can be used to destroy your credibility. Even if you’re completely honest and don’t misspeak, you could give investigators information that can be used to convict you. Say that, during questioning, you deny any involvement, but you mention that you “never liked the victim.” As Duane points out, you’ve just provided a motive. And even if you tell the truth, don’t make any mistakes or give the police any details that might help their case against you. If an officer does not recall your statement accurately, his mistake might lead to a conviction. When it’s an officer’s word against yours, it’s almost certain whom a judge or jury will believe. It’s tempting to believe that you should cooperate with the police, especially if you are innocent. As Supreme Court Associate Justice Felix Frankfurter pointed out, “[Many] … view [the protection against self-incrimination] as a shelter for wrongdoers.” However, as Frankfurter continued, “The privilege against self-incrimination serves as a protection to the innocent, as well as to the guilty.” As a citizen, it is incumbent upon you to know and assert your rights. In any police encounter, the only thing you should say is, “I respectfully decline to answer any questions.” If only Henry Lee McCollum and Leon Brown had been offered such advice.

ny citizen should do what he or she can for the good of society and whatever possible to Ian Grice improve the huCorrespopnent man condition. Volunteering is the most tangible way a citizen can make a beneficial impact on the community. What more could a person want than to see a favorable impact on something that has meaning to him or her in his or her community, whether that means saving peoples’ lives or improving the quality of life for people. People are alive for the sole benefit of other people; we are social creatures. Any accomplishment a single person makes is shared with everyone who came before. “Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be,” Philosopher Marcus Aurelius said. “Be one.” Performing good deeds for others should be a self less and natural act, the same as breathing or eating. As an animal does what is natural to its nature, we must help others to our own ability. Volunteering cements your connection to a community and creates changes that you can see. Allowing foreigners to create these bonds themselves is important. As students attending uni-

versity, many readers may be struggling to find their identity, something gained from introspection and experience. Volunteering is one of those rare opportunities where you can explore society and be an agent of change. There is nothing more grassroots than volunteering in your community. Volunteering isn’t classist; it comes in so many forms and is available to everyone in society. The resources available for volunteering are vast. Some of my preferences are volunteermatch.org and activategood. com. I’ve personally participated in a broad range of volunteering activities. I am a volunteer firefighter trained in emergency management, a Red Cross disaster volunteer trained in responding to disasters such as house fires to give assistance and shelter care, a mentor and grant supervisor with the Boys and Girls Club of America, an emergency department volunteer at the Central Carolina Hospital and distribution supervisor at the Christian United Outreach Center food pantry. I’ve also spearheaded programs for food gleaning in the community and worked with veterans to obtain jobs and services for various organizations. A few of the countless skills

We can and should reduce our food waste I

’m definitely guilty of wasting food. I go to the grocery store without a shopping list, so I end up buying too much food, and I make the mistake of letting fruit and vegetables go bad. I feel bad when I clean out my fridge and discover I let something go to waste. T h is week The Washington Post ran an article, “America ns t hrow Jacqueline out more food Lee than plastic, Assistant paper, metal Opinion Editor and glass.” According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the headline and all of the facts in the article check out. Food accounts for a fifth of our garbage. According to The Post, people in the United States threw away 34.7 million tons of food in 2012. The next item listed behind food was plastic, of which we threw away 28.9 million tons. I didn’t think that food would make up the largest part of our garbage, but it does, and this can be lessened. After reading the statistics in The Post, I thought I’d look up ways that I could reduce the amount of food I throw out. I know my food waste alone makes up barely any part of what’s thrown away overall in the U.S., but I’d like to try at least to reduce that staggering number. If every person looked at these statistics and thought, “Oh, my food waste is just a small portion of that,” and

never changed his or her ways, there would never be any improvement. Major food corporations and restaurants are responsible for the amount of waste, but I thought I’d focus on how we as college students can reduce our waste. For one, when we go to the grocery store, we should buy only what we need. It seems hard to resist not putting food you intended on buying into your shopping cart. I know seeing that bag of doughnuts or that box of cookies is difficult to pass up, but think about whether you really intend on eating what you’re buying. Is it just going to sit around and get stale or go bad in your kitchen? The EPA gives recommendations on its website for preserving food, including freezing extra fruits and vegetables. If you preserve them that way, they won’t go bad, and you’ll have them for later. Also, thekitchn.com recommends organizing food in your fridge by freshness. When you’re putting groceries away, put the newer items in the back and older ones in the front so those get eaten first. Wherever you go out to eat, whether at restaurants, buffets or getting the (hopefully) occasional fast food, think about how much you’re actually able to eat. There are times I go out to eat, and I order huge meals without thinking if I’m able to eat everything I order. What can I say, I love to eat, but there are times my eyes are bigger than my stomach, and I end up wasting food.

I’ve learned are emergency management, educating youth, working with grants and case management. Volunteering is about giving your time and skills to the community. You can create the change you want to see by organizing your own events or even supervising other volunteers. The benefits of volunteerism for the community are vast, but the benefits for the volunteer are just as great. Some benefits involve creating purpose in your life, gaining work experience, enhancing your resumé, making important networking contacts, learning or developing skills, teaching your skills to others, building self-esteem and self-confidence, meeting new people, feeling needed and valued, communicating to others that you are ambitious, enthusiastic and care about the community and making a difference in someone’s life, according to the United Way. The main argument I’ve heard is that of apathy and of time management. To those who make use of this excuse, I say: You are essentially giving up your right to complain about anything. I challenge you to volunteer 1 percent of your time this year; that’s 20 hours. Take a look around and see if there isn’t something you’d like to see improved.

Bluegrass Festival to bring folk music back to Hillsborough Street Brandon Yunker Correspondent

The Live and Local: Bluegrass Festival will be held this Sunday from 2 p.m. until 10 p.m. at various stages and locations along Hillsborough Street. The festival will serve as a kickoff event for a week of bluegrass in Raleigh. Bluegrass is a form of music that grew out of Appalachia. It is a type of American-roots music that can trace its origins from the traditional music brought from English and Scottish settlers during the 18th century. As this style of music began to develop over time, it incorporated elements of blues music as well as jazz and even elements of gospel. The folk music first began to receive airplay in the 1940s, and by the 1950s it became known as bluegrass. Bluegrass has remained a popular style of music in North Carolina. According to David Dean, director of Programs for the Hillsborough Street District, the appeal of the music to this area has to do with the migration of Europeans through the area spreading the music, the agricultural-based economy of the area that supports it and that the music is welcoming to everyone and serves an important role socially. “It’s easy to sit on your porch and play guitar,” Dean said. The Bluegrass Festival will have four stages located

around Hillsborough Street. Logan Court (located near Bruegger’s Bagels) will have performers including Swift Creek, Old Man Whickutt, Nixon, Blevins and Gage, Lynda Dawson and Patty Hopkins and Darin and Brooke Aldridge. Compiegne Park will have a stage and area for children. The Compiegne Park Stage will feature acts such as Little Root, Tommy Edwards’ Tales of North Carolina, Christiane and Bethesda Bluegrass Band. Horne Street will have the Gospel Stage and feature acts such as RavenRidge, Backporch String Band, Presby Parish Players & Friends, Fairmont Gospel Revue and Damascus Ridge.

The evening will conclude at the Louise Stephenson Amphitheatre from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. with The Bluegrass Experience with Leroy Savage and The Josh Daniel/ Mark Schimick Project that will feature special guests. According to Dean, the festival wanted to show off bluegrass and demonstrate that it spans the generations. From 12-year-olds to “The Godfather of Bluegrass” Leroy Savage, the festival also highlights the strong tradition that bluegrass has in the area. Most of the groups performing are based within a 100 mile radius of Raleigh, Dean said. West Raleigh Presbyterian Church and Fairmont United Method-

ist will each have groups perform at the Horne Street Stage. “We are blessed with cultural diversity [in Raleigh]. The festival is a natural fit for the area,” Dean said. “It really is a chance for the community to come together, and not just bluegrass fans or NC State students.” According to Dean, several of the bluegrass stars of the 1970s still live in the area. Last year, about 150,000 people came to Raleigh to attend the World of Bluegrass Festival. “People migrating from the north or west come here and are absorbed by the music,” Dean said. “They appreciate the musicianship and skill of the performers.

leads the ACC in total offense (502 yards/game) and rushing yards (248 yards/game). Redshirt junior quarterback Jacoby Brissett went 14/21 for 195 yards while tossing three touchdowns last weekend, and running backs Shadrach Thornton and Matt Dayes combined for 140 yards on 12 carries for two touchdowns each. The Seminoles,

NC State vs. No. 1 Florida State

on the other hand, posted just 13 yards on the ground last week against Clemson. Those 13 yards exaggerate Florida State’s deficiencies, however, as the Seminoles’ offense remains one of the most threatening in the country, according to Doeren. “They have five senior offensive linemen, a tailback who runs hard and obviously a returning Heisman winner at quarterback,” Doeren said. “It’s a great offense, and it’s

going to be a huge test.” Last season’s trip to Tallahassee didn’t go well for the Pack, which were easily dismantled by the ‘Noles 49-17, but this year’s State team is far improved from the group that went 0-for-8 in the ACC in 2013. “We’re a different team than we were last year,” Doeren said. “I just feel better being here for a year, seeing the growth of our team and knowing we have a quarterback we can trust in situa-

TECHNICIAN

tions so that we can compete in a game like this.” The Seminole defense that crushed State in Tallahassee a year ago hasn’t displayed the same dominance this season, as the ‘Noles lost a number of key players to the NFL draft and graduation, so the unit that will face State’s confident offense is younger and less experienced, a fact Doeren hopes will swing play in favor of the Wolfpack. “Last year, I think their defense was good, not to say

this year’s isn’t,” Doeren said. “Now, they’re just younger at some of those positions, and they don’t have experience; the rushing yards they’re giving up and the points they’re giving up — it’s different because of that.” History favors the Wolfpack, and that’s what Doeren hopes will help motivate the Pack come game time. “Great players play really good football in big-time games, and I want to see that out of our guys,” Doeren said.

“We’re not afraid of them. We’re going to play as hard as we can for four quarters and try to make it a physical four-quarter game.” One thing is for certain, come kickoff on Saturday afternoon the stage will be set; a full “red out” is planned for students and fans attending Carter-Finley Stadium. “We need to relish the opportunity,” Doeren said. “We must enjoy the moment and let the big stage be the big stage.”

Redshirt junior Tony Creecy makes a cut during the third quarter against No. 3 Florida State University Oct. 6, 2012 at Carter-Finley Stadium. The Wolfpack won 17-16 over the Seminoles. Saturday’s game will start at 3:30 p.m.

Pack ready for giant challenge Drew Nantais Correspondent

With a four-game win streak under its belt, the NC State football team rolls into its conference opener against No. 1 Florida State Saturday in Raleigh. Saturday’s matchup will mark the first time in school history that the Wolfpack has hosted the No. 1 team

in the country. Previously, the Pack lost to the top-ranked team in the country three times on the road: Florida State in ’99 and ’95, and a loss to the top team in 1948, the Carolina Tar Heels. The Pack faces its biggest challenge so far in a Seminole team that hasn’t lost a game since a Nov. 24, 2012 contest against the Florida Gators, current State redshirt junior quarterback Jacoby Brissett’s former

team. Ironically, the Seminoles’ last conference loss came in an Oct. 6, 2012 shocker in Raleigh at the hands of the Wolfpack. Florida State arrives in Raleigh having lost five of the last seven contests at Carter-Finley when ranked in the top 25. Last weekend’s 42-0 shutout over Presbyterian was the last tune up for the Wolfpack before opening ACC play.

“Now, we get ready for a great Florida State team,” NC State Head Coach Dave Doeren said at the ACC coaches’ press conference. “They have a 19-game win streak with tremendous players.” The Wolfpack offense bounds into Saturday’s showdown clicking on all cylinders after scoring 40-plus points in its last three games; State
