It will be crucial for members of future generations to have more extensive education in various forms of multimedia, including gaming, according to one communication professor. Nicholas Taylor, an assistant professor of communication, talked about the incorporation of videogame production in education Monday in Ricks Hall. “Kids are already playing games,” Taylor said “So why shouldn’t they understand how they work too?” Taylor said he believes the population needs more “producers than consumers” when it comes to technology in response to the increasing gap between the general public’s understanding of technology and the complexity of the material consumed.

Nick Taylor, associate professor of communication, speaks with faculty members and graduate students about self expression through video game media Monday at the CIRCUIT Research Studio in Ricks Hall.
Red Hat, an open-software firm headquartered in Raleigh, announced earlier this month it will hire 800 people in the coming fiscal year. Job openings will include a variety of positions, from sales to research and development, in both the company’s national and international offices. There will be about 50 openings in the Raleigh office. “Since around half of our associates work outside the United States, it’s safe to assume that around half of the new jobs will be outside of the U.S., while the other half will likely be in the U.S.,” said Kim Jokisch, director of employment

New BOG agreement to help community-college transfers Estefania Castro-Vazquez Assistant News Editor
The University of North Carolina Board of Governors and the State Board of Community Colleges recently signed the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement allowing students transferring to a UNCSystem school to retain the credits they earned at a community college. The agreement will make it easier for students at community colleges to decide which courses to take that will be fully transferable to the university system. This will allow students to attend community college for a year or two and then transfer to a university without losing the credits they’ve already earned, according to Thomas Harrelson, the secretary of the University Governance Committee for the UNC-System. Harrelson said this agreement is something that the board has been working toward for several years, as it is something needed to ensure the success of all students. About two years ago, the Com-
munity-College System began a strategic plan called Success North Carolina to advocate “success and completion,” Harrelson said. Though completion could indicate that a community college student successfully earned his or her associates degree, it could also mean that a student hoping to transfer to a university would be able to do so without the loss of credits. However, this did not apply to the UNC-System because the initial articulation agreement put in place in 1997 remained unchanged, according to Megen Hoenk, the director of marketing and external affairs for N.C. Community College System. “We had to revisit the agreement as GEP courses changed over time,” Hoenk said. “It took a considerable effort from both the CommunityCollege System and the UNC-System working together, too.” According to Hoenk, the agreement was set in motion after the number of transfer students increased during the start of the recession, as community college became
an affordable option compared to attending a four-year university. Currently, about 24,000 of students who started at a community college are on one of the UNC campuses. That’s more than 50 percent of the UNC transfer-student population, Hoenk said. “Anecdotally, we heard from students who were having situations in which their credits weren’t transferring, and this can be frustrating because they could be relying on some form of financial aid, and they were having to take some classes again,” Hoenk said. “We decided to review the articulation agreement and through the new agreement, we hope to save students and their families time and money.” Starting this fall, students entering the Community-College System will have the ability to enroll as college transfer students in an effort to clearly determine the classes they need to register for to leave the community college with an associates

Researchers study supernovae Staff Report
A team of researchers from N.C. State is working with a satellite telescope, put into orbit by NASA, to examine the inside of supernovae, or massive-exploding stars. Scientists have been unable to research the inner mechanisms of supernovae due to the limitations of earlier telescopes, according to Stephen Reynolds, professor of physics and lead researcher.
“Traditional satellites have been making beautiful images with lowenergy X-rays, but the NuSTAR satellite is the first with focusing optics that can tell us exactly where the high-energy rays are coming from,” Reynolds told The News & Observer. With the use of NASA’s Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope satellite, researchers will now be able to detect what materials make up super novae.
Students from the Afrikan American Student Advisory Council and the Union Activities Board met with Chancellor Randy Woodson and other administrators for a closed meeting regarding the cancellation of the Pan-Afrikan concert. The meeting served as an “initial conversation” about moving forward with the concert cancellation,
according to Justine Hollingshead, assistant to the vice chancellor and dean for the Division of Academic and Student Affairs, and Dean of Academic and Student Affairs Mike Mullen. Students and administrators planned Monday’s meeting because Woodson, Provost Warwick Arden and other leaders weren’t available during a similar meeting Thursday, said Marshall Anthony, AASAC chairperson and senior in business. Lauryn Collier, UAB treasurer
and senior in animal science, said she appreciated the administration listening to students’ concerns. “I thought the meeting went well for what it was, [and] I appreciated the senior leadership listening to everything that the students had to say and to hear how their experiences on campus have been, specifically in the African American community,” Collier said. “I know there’s a concern that there’s a lack

said. Taylor said game-based education would not replace traditional forms of teaching and evaluation, such as longform writing or presentations, but said the implementation of more multimedia in education would help reach more students. For instance, in creative literature courses, students would have the opportunity to make interactive story lines instead of being con-
fined to one concrete piece, Taylor said. This type of expression could help more creatively inclined students to express themselves, according to Taylor. Taylor also said this would help members of younger generations become more tech-savvy, but it would also introduce coding knowledge to current instructors. The general population should understand more about technology and coding
in general as technology has become a major part of everyday life, according to Taylor. “Code is the new language,” Taylor said. Some problems that may arise with implementing these education methods would be the difficulty of grading the projects due to the subjective nature of creativity, Taylor said. Another issue is that students may choose not to try these methods of presenting their
understanding of material due to the level of time commitment required for these types of assignments if they are given the option. Educators may not be willing to change curriculums from traditional styles to more tech-based or techdependent methods, Taylor said. Taylor said this innovation will have to be applied slowly to the education system, starting with the much higher levels of education.
nouncement. “Red Hat has had a very good relationship with N.C. State for many years now,” Jokisch said. “We’ve seen many N.C. State students and graduates come to work for us as interns and full-time associates.” Jokisch said the relationship between Red Hat and N.C. State “took off” in 2002 when the company moved its headquarters from Durham to Centennial Campus.
In 2013, it moved again to downtown Raleigh. But the company still actively interacts with N.C. State students and graduates, Jokisch said. “Because our headquarters is located in Raleigh, we have many opportunities in our downtown office,” Jokisch said. Oppor tunities include those in engineering, information technology, sales, finance, human resources and marketing, Jokisch said.
“The College of Design has been a great resource for design talent, and we’ve had a number of people work for Red Hat while pursuing their MBA at N.C. State,” Jokisch said. Even though the 800 jobs will span a variety of areas, most will be in sales organization and products and technologies, the Triangle Business Journal reported in March. “That’s the core of our business,” said DeLisa Alexander, Red Hat Chief People Officer. “It’s making the products and selling the products.” Of the 54 current openings in Raleigh, 41 are in sales or technology, according to Red Hat’s website. Currently, Red Hat employs about 6,300 people worldwide.

On-campus Port City Java profits welcome other ventures Estefania Castro-Vazquez Assistant News Editor
As a result of high sales on N.C. State’s campus, executives at Port City Java are looking to expand the franchise to other college campuses, according to Steve Schnitzler, CEO of Port City Java. Schnitzler said company leaders weren’t expecting the Park Shops location to be as successful as it is now. “I remember talking to Kitty Lewis [the Director of Retail Operations for University Dining] about what she felt that store was going to do sales wise and thinking ‘there’s no way,’” Schnitzler said. “The number she was throwing out there was too high. It’s just remarkable how busy it gets.” The Port City Java in Park Shops has the highest sales of all locations in the country, according to Kevin Howen, the Business Manager for University Dining. Currently, Port City Java, which is based out of Wilmington, N.C., is located on the campuses of UNCWilmington and Cape Fear Community College as cafes and at Elon and Clemson as part of the dining hall and catering systems, according to Schnitzler. Port City Java and N.C. State have been partners since 2003, according to Howen. Lewis said when the University put out a bid for a coffee company, Port City Java immediately got on board.

to Howen. Chick-fil-A has been on campus since 1996 and receives 10 percent of each sale made, according to Gilmore. Both Gilmore and Howen said though these stores do have the highest sales, it is important to distinguish between high sales and profitability and that the locations on campus are not necessarily the most profitable. Howen said companies can choose from two options when franchising. They can either move into the location and run the entire operation while playing a rental fee, or they can choose to sell the brand and allow that entity to control the operation. N.C. State has chosen only to pursue options that allow them to control the operations as this allows the University to provide jobs for both students and non-students in part-time and fulltime positions, Howen said. According to Howen, having control allows the school to manage and reduce the amount of revenue that goes to businesses outside of the University. Schnitzler said the new generation of students has grown up going to coffee shops and experiencing coffee, something that didn’t happen in earlier decades. “Coffee houses have become a traditional place for ideas to be exchanged, which makes it perfect for a college campus,” Schnitzler said.
Howen said Port City Java is a regional brand that can easily visit campus for meetings and has a vested interest in the success of the University, making it a good choice for campus. “We’re getting a product that is both local and sustainable,” Howen said. Schnitzler said Port City Java views itself as a North Carolina brand because the company roasts all of its own coffee in Wilmington using both conventional and organic methods and is happy to provide N.C. State students with its products.
“This company was formed here. It was based here. It was a natural fit,” Schnitzler said. “We are thrilled that N.C. State uses products that are made here. It’s a great boom to the local economy and we try to partner locally as much as we can.” According to Jennifer Gilmore, director of marketing and communication for Campus Enterprises, the Port City Java in Park Shops has been so successful because it is one of the most populated, yet under-served areas of campus. Because the company is
small, Howen said Port City Java is f lexible. When the University wanted to make sure students could get items that fit within an equivalency, the company was willing to offer a smaller sandwich line so students wouldn’t have to pay the difference. The University’s culinary team presented items to Port City Java and were approved. “We selected this brand because it offered a solution to multiple challenges we had here at State,” Gilmore said. “We needed a venue that could operate out of a relatively small space often
provided to us within existing buildings where we could not install things like cooking ventilation systems and grease traps.” Port City Java receives a 6 percent commission of each sale. The remaining 94 percent goes back to University dining to pay salaries, wages, facilities and any other costs of production. Port City Java is not the only successful franchised branch on campus. The Chick-fil-A located in the Atrium has the highest sales of all food court-style Chickfil-As in the region, according
facing and for the students graduating with ill feelings,” Collier said. During the meeting, members of the UAB and the Black Students Board discussed two “action items,” one of which will attempt to schedule a replacement concert before the semester ends, Anthony said. The UAB and the BSB will figure out the logistics for the potential substitute concert before it gets approved by senior administrators, according to Marshall. Students and administrators also agreed to meet on
a regular basis with AASAC and any other student groups to address their members concerns. “I think today’s meeting was very successful. I think it hit on everything that should have been addressed at that time,” Anthony said. Hollingshead said she expects several more meetings into the summer to ensure similar situations are handled fairly and consistently. “This isn’t to say this will be the only meeting, and I think there are many meetings to come to discuss this
scenario and how we should address student concerns on campus,” Hollingshead said. “It was a good beginning and a good start to renewing conversation between students and the administration.” Hollingshead said the meeting was held in private to make sure student leaders could express their concerns with minimal distraction. “This meeting was meant more to be for sharing concerns in an environment where the students felt comfortable saying anything, and sometimes when the media is
there, it changes the nature of the environment a little bit,” Hollingshead said. Seven student leaders from the UAB and AASAC, as well as Mullen, Hollingshead, Woodson, Arden and Vice Provost for the Office for Institutional Equity and Diversity Joanne Woodard were in attendance. Monday’s private meeting contrasted Friday’s rally at Talley Student Union called, “We do NOT have a voice: Rally at Talley,” hosted by the UAB. The rally was designed for students to “voice con-
cerns and questions” about the University’s decision to cancel the concert, according to a UAB e-mail. Administrators canceled the Pan-Afrikan concert per the recommendation of Campus Police and safety officials following a reported shooting incident involving headlining act, Migos, last week. During the discussion, proposals were made to continue the event with Pusha-T, but it was not “logistically” feasible, according to a press release from Student Leadership & Engagement.
required to take a success course, in which they will detail what courses they would have to take in order to transfer credits to a university. Students who complete their associates degree will have all their credits transfer to equivalent classes at the
university level, rather than electives, which was often the case before the agreement was put in place. If a student decides to transfer after one year, or before completing his or her associates degree, classes found in a universal general
education course list will be transferable. Classes in this list have been determined by faculty members and staff in both school systems, according to Hoenk. The agreement has now been signed, and the Board of Governors are working
toward coming up with individual details within colleges and universities, According to Harrelson. Hoenk said representatives from all 16 UNC-system universities and 58 community colleges are helping to design and develop the agreement.
Harrelson said they are working with private universities to offer similar benefits, but because they are not technically a part of the school system, these private universities will have no obligation to do so.

Drunken justice 101
W
hile I was walking around dow ntown this past weekend, the Trolley Pub whizzed by. All the patrons were drinking, pedaling and having a good time. A pedalpowered bar on wheels really is a novel idea. However unique Trolley Pub may Travis Toth be though, it Contributing does beg the Columnist question: If numerous people biking around, sitting at a bar and drinking is legal, why can’t I walk down the street with a beer in my hand without risking an open container or public intoxication violation? This just doesn’t make sense. Are all the college kids and other Raleighites hanging around outside with an alcoholic beverage in their hands really menaces to society? That’s what the presence of police officers stationed outside practically every bar downtown would lead you to believe. North Carolina has a vast number of laws regarding alcohol. You can’t have an open container in your car regardless of whether you’ve been drinking, but you can drink if you’re a passenger in a taxi. You can be intoxicated in public so long as you’re not disruptive. You can’t have a beer before you turn 21. So why do we have all these laws? Surely there’s a method to this madness. Alcohol consumption regulations tend to concentrate on keeping the peace and ensuring public safety. As anyone who has ever gone for a drink downtown probably knows, drunk people can get disorderly pretty quickly. But are they really causing that big of a problem? Who even gets to decide
{
IN YOUR WORDS
what is disorderly? According to CriminalDefenseLawyer. com, a drunk-and-disorderly citation can be given for blocking traffic or the sidewalk, fighting, begging, cursing or insulting others and can result in a $200 ticket and up to 10 nights in jail. There has to be a better way to maintain the flow of traffic and keep people from shouting at each other than fining every drunk college kid stumbling around Raleigh yelling “Go Wolfpack!” Regulations of this nature can have a rather unfavorable impact on our city’s young people. That $200 public intoxication ticket seems pretty steep when you’re already paying tuition. Not only that, but the accompanying misdemeanor violation can stay with you, potentially denying you from future opportunities. That’s a harsh punishment to give a student who was just enjoying his or her night out a bit too much. If public-intoxication laws are intended to keep people from disrupting the peace, maybe the police should just turn their sirens off and let people enjoy themselves. A police siren screaming down the road causes more noise pollution than a mob of drunken college kids. What about public safety? Drinking and driving is not something we want people doing, and we probably don’t want young people drinking copious amounts of liquor. If safety is the goal of public-intoxication laws, there are better ways to promote responsible drinking habits than constant monitoring and threats of punishment. Do we really want to penalize college kids for drinking and having a good time with their friends? That bad mark on their record could stay with them for the rest of their lives unless they have
the money to expunge it. The sheer fact that our drinking age exceeds that of most other countries baffles me, especially considering the consequences associated. When I studied abroad in Copenhagen, where you can buy beer at age 16 and spirits at age 18, I experienced a culture in which drinking in public was not frowned upon. I could drink a beer on the walk from my residence hall to the metro, on the metro and on the walk to the club. The fact that we have a higher drinking age and more alcohol regulations than Denmark implies that one of us must be wrong. Our higher drinking age and stricter treatment of alcohol consumption would lead one to believe that these restrictions are necessary to keep the peace and ensure the safety of the general population. If that’s the case, are all of the Danish teenagers and university students miscreants and drunken low-lifes because they were allowed to drink earlier? I certainly didn’t think so—quite the opposite in fact. Danish students tended to hang out with their friends in public parks, at bars or clubs, or sit around in the city square and have a couple beers. Sure, the downtown district got slightly noisy when the bars let out, but that doesn’t mean the cops need to swarm the place. Are we really that much better off than the rest of the world for restricting the consumption of alcohol? Is the best way to teach our youth to moderate alcohol consumption through fear tactics and steep punishments? I don’t think so either. Whew, that got a bit heated at the end. Somebody get me a beer.
“No, because fear tactics don’t work for that kind of stuff. Kids don’t care about fear tactics. You have to give them the straight-out facts and try to convince them with logic and not try to lie and scare them. It’s just going to make them want to do it if you try to scare them out of it.”
“I don’t think fear tactics are very effective. I think it would be smarter to tell them how to drink safely and not necessarily scare them away from doing it in general.”

ith this being the last full week of classes of the 2013-14 academic year, I want to bring attention one last time to a heated discussion t h at surfaced again in t he w a ke of Ma rch Madness: Should colTyler Gobin lege athletes Staff Columnist get paid? The culmination of every basketball and football season seems to awaken this sleeping giant, which has once again claimed the stage. Last week, a National Labor Relations Board official in Chicago made an important decision to characterize Northwestern University’s scholarship football players as employees. There is a remedy to this plaguing problem, but this classification is not one of them. The ruling currently only applies to private universities, but it’s the wrong type of thinking and could leak into large public universities across the country. Student athletes have been searching for a way to fight back, and unionization is the first step toward exposing the hypocrisy of how the NCAA does business, but it’s still not the right way. Hopefully the action from students will force the NCAA to acknowledge some of its wrongdoings and work on changing certain regulations regarding student athletes without forcing the students to officially unionize.
Student athletes need increased academic support, improved student-athlete healthcare and enhanced athletic scholarships to cover the full cost of attendance at their respective institutions. Power conferences throughout the country have been pushing the NCAA to act on some of these issues, according to Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott, and lawsuits are continuing to surface and expose the shortcomings of NCAA regulations. Among the most controversial issues is the awarding of scholarships based on performance, coach or the health of the athlete. Another problem is that the NCAA limits “countable athletically related activities” to 20 hours per week, but the recent labor case for Northwestern found athletes spending up to 50 hours per week. The NCAA doesn’t count travel, mandatory meetings, medical check-ins, trainingtape reviews and “voluntary” weight training, falsely reducing the official number of hours. Increasing attention will lead to continued exposure of the NCAA’s regulations and will risk serious action by proactive students. The core of the problem is deciding what to do with the increasing revenues generated by the popularity of college sports such as football and basketball. The decision by the NLRB is the equivalent of a small surrender by characterizing students as employees. This could reduce the resources for other sports, primarily women’s sports, if students who play revenue-
generating sports unionize and demand compensation. In a great number of universities, revenue from basketball and football supports the rest of the athletic department. Siphoning more money generated by football and basketball back into football and basketball would exterminate other sports’ budgets. “The challenge collegiate sports faces in an era of expanding popularity is … to ensure that the paramount role of ‘student’ in ‘studentathlete’ is not obscured,” Scott said. Unfortunately, that role has diminished as some studentathlete graduation rates have plummeted. Florida State University graduated less than half of its football players compared with a 75 percent overall graduation rate, and University of Connecticut had a graduation rate of zero for men’s basketball players, according to USA Today. Not all graduation rates are as glaringly poor as the two highlighted, but they make a point. The football players had a right to take action against the NCAA because of the poor regulations inside the hypocritical organization, but hopefully it stops there. Northwestern was simply the first to formally stand up, but if the NCAA issues continue to go unnoticed, more student athletes will fight back. Student athletes should continue to be unpaid, but they need better treatment from the NCAA, and classifying them as employees is not a step in the right direction.
Vogue’s not-so-funny April Fool’s joke

Vogue gives Kardashian high praise in this issue. She is described in the article as being “an astute businesswoman,” and her looks are compared to Ava Gardner and Sophia Loren. This is a woman who made a name for herself by being in a sex tape and appearing with her family on a trashy rea lit y-telev ision show. Labeling her as a businesswoman and comparing her looks to iconic Hollywood women are far-fetched exaggerations. Vogue editor Anna Wintour defended the decision to put the couple on the cover in her letter from the editor. In it, she says, “Part of the pleasure of editing Vogue, one that lies in a long
tradition of this magazine, is being able to feature those who define the culture at any given moment, who stir things up, whose presence in the world shapes the way it looks and influences the way we see it.” To me, this comes across as Vogue picking the most controversial couple that is at the center of the public eye simply to make money. In an interview with Us Weekly promoting her Sears fashion line with her sisters, Kardashian said, “I dress for my man way more than for myself!” Every issue has a section titled “Vogue point of view.” In it, new trends are often talked about, and the inspiration for the photo shoots that follow is discussed. For this issue, it is titled “Our bodies, ourselves,” and says, “Ever yone k nows — a nd just in case, soap and cereal companies are constantly reminding us—that a woman’s happiness has a lot to do with how comfortable she is in her own skin.” Yet, on the cover is a woman who said she’s dressing for her husband, not herself. That seems to be contradictory to the type of woman Vogue says people should aspire to be. I like the “point of view” section for this issue and wish the woman chosen for the cover was someone who has an independent, unique style

suited to her personality. On Keeping up with the Kardashians, West is shown making a deal with Kardashian about her clothes. If she throws her current wardrobe away, he’ll buy her a completely new wardrobe. In a shot of her looking at herself in the mirror, he calls her “New Kim.” It’s concerning to see Vogue giving this couple a cover photo of West possessively holding Kardashian when he already does controlling things, such as choosing her clothing. “As for the cover, my opinion is that it is both charming and touching and it was, I should add, entirely our idea to do it,” Wintour said. T here i sn’t a ny t h i ng “charming and touching” about the cover photo, especially when you consider how West has been changing Kardashian. Twitter blew up with tweets from angry Vogue subscribers. Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar tweeted, “Well......I guess I’m canceling my Vogue subscription. Who is with me???” So far, the tweet has received more than 14,000 favorites. After seeing this cover and reading what supposedly is Vogue’s message for readers in its “point of view” column, I consider this April’s edition a bad April Fool’s joke.

Film depicts transition from materialist to monk Lauren Vanderveen Staff Writer
Filmmakers and fans alike gathered in Durham this weekend for the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival. It spanned four days, April 3-6, and premiered about 60 new films from a pool of 1,200 submissions. In the packed Fletcher Hall of Carolina Theatre, Monk with a Camera was one of the first new documentaries screened at the festival. “It’s sort of a modern-day ‘Siddhartha’ tale,” said Tina Mascara, one of the film’s directors. But instead of following a man originally from India, looking for spiritual enlightenment, Mascara and co-director Guido Santi document the life of Nicholas Vreeland — a man born in Geneva, Switzerland but raised in other European locales and the United States. Half the film covers Vreeland’s lineage from his grandmother Diana Vreeland, the pioneering Vogue editor, to his lavish lifestyle before he decided to become a monk in 1985. The other half gazes at the secular, yet glorious aspects of monk life. The film’s leisurely pace teases out that polarity of Vreeland’s circumstances. Observing him walking down the busy streets of New York City in monk garb and then, in another moment, guiding us through the sparse monas-

Carolina Theatre in Durham housed the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival April 3-6. The festival included 60 new films, including a new documentary called, Monk with a Camera, directed by Tina Mascara and Guido Santi. The film is about the life of Nicholas Vreeland, grandson of an iconic Vogue editor, who became a monk and a photographer.
tery he first stayed at for more than a decade is not easy to reconcile and is very surreal. A monk is not without his own problems, however. After the financial crisis of 2008, Vreeland lost many of the backers for the Rato Monastery he was building in India. As a result, he reverted back to his photography as a saving grace. He resolved to sell many of the photographs he had taken during the years — of his fellow monks and surroundings in Tibet — to help fund the monastery’s
continued construction. Vreeland’s predicament was initially how Mascara discovered him. While researching for the intent of a narrative film, instead of a documentary, about a Westerner becoming a monk, she said she came across his story in an Indian newspaper online. According to Mascara, Vreeland wasn’t automatically willing to have a documentary made about him. In fact, even after filming one of Vreeland’s photography
showcases in Naples, Italy, the directors didn’t know if the collaboration would continue. “[Vreeland] has since told me that he had to get permission from his teacher, Khyongla Rato Rinpoche, and he also had to get permission from the Dalai Lama himself,” Mascara said. Both Rinpoche and the Dalai Lama figure in heavily throughout the film as the amazingly kind and inspiring teachers in Vreeland’s life. In one scene, Rinpoche takes out
a toy parrot and has it mimic sayings and laughter again and again for the camera. In another, the Dalai Lama grabs Vreeland endearingly by his elongated nose. Mascara said she and her partner, Santi, were fascinated with Vreeland’s story because of its extraordinary circumstances. As apparent by those in attendance at the Full Frame screening, Vreeland had it all: an iconic grandmother, famous photographers as teachers, wealth and freedom to travel
anywhere. It is clear by the documentary that, though he had every materialistic thing he could hope for, he missed something fundamental. The same can be said of Mascara. Where Vreeland found purpose in the teachings of Buddhism, Mascara found it in film. She grew up in West Virginia but, much like Vreeland, decided to shed the familiar and move across the country. “I moved to Los Angeles and, for me, the first few years that I was there were a little more bumpy and I was trying to find what I wanted to do,” Mascara said. It wouldn’t be until she joined the L.A. Film School and met other aspiring filmmakers that her course would change. “Telling stories with images was the most amazing discovery of my life, and there’s nothing else in the world that excites me more,” Mascara said. Through the delicate and light-hearted approach of Monk with a Camera, West and East join hands. Film footage and still photography bridges the past with the present. But most importantly, the documentary underlines that there is no time and no reason to remain stuck without what vitally defines you. As Vreeland says in the film, “Life is momentary.”
Breaking Bad star visits UNC, discusses adversity Emma Cathell Assistant Features Editor
RJ Mitte, famous for his role as Walter Jr. in AMC’s Breaking Bad, didn’t finish his career with the show’s final season. Not only does he play Campbell in ABC Family’s current television series, Switched at Birth, but Mitte is also doing a speaking tour around the country about disorders and bullying. On Thursday, Mitte made an appearance at UNC-Chapel Hill. Mitte has cerebral palsy, a disorder of movement, muscle tone or posture, caused by an abnormality in the developing brain, usually before birth. Those with cerebral palsy may have stiffness of the limbs, abnormal posture, unsteadiness of walking or involuntary movements. Some people with cerebral palsy use walking assistant aids, such as leg crutches, like Walter Jr. did in Breaking Bad. Others use wheelchairs. Mitte said he used crutches and wheelchairs on and off, but he kept working through it with painful exercises and treatments. So now, unlike what his characters portray, Mitte does not need assistance. “I was diagnosed with my disorder at the age three, but for the longest time they didn’t understand what I had,” Mitte said. “I was what they called a severe toe-walker, so my feet were practically straight. I walked on the tips of them.”
UNC’s Best Buddies program, an international organization, hosted the event, “An Evening with RJ Mitte.” UNC students and members of the Chapel Hill community with intellectual and developmental disabilities pair together through Best Buddies to develop a friendship through large group events and one-to-one meetings. Mitte explained how this type of relationship can be motivation for people with disabilities. “Best Buddies allows you to grow, and the thing is that you have to have people when you have a disability constantly pushing you, because you don’t want to do this normally,” Mitte said. “No one wants to do their leg stretches, no one wants to do their therapy for hours on end. How many people actually do their homework on time? Right there, it’s the same thing. But it’s your body; you have to push people to do it.” Friends through the Best Buddies program can be there for each other for support as well as for motivation. Mitte said he was lucky enough to have his family to support and push him to do his exercises and that it takes an amount of will and support to get through setbacks. “For hours, my mother would make me fold towels and she would come over and knock them over,” Mitte said. “And, if it wasn’t for me wanting to get better and stronger, I would’ve said, ‘Forget

Breaking Bad actor RJ Mitte stands at UNC-Chapel Hill after speaking about “Overcoming Adversity: Turning a Disadvantage Into an Advantage” Thursday. Mitte was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was three and has been a victim of bullying throughout his life, but he said he has not let that drag him down. He talked to the community about the importance of helping others and pushing yourself.
it, I’m not folding anymore,’ but I wanted that. I wanted to have control over my body and to be stronger and faster. If you’re able to instill that into someone, if you’re able to instill will into somebody that will do more than anything.” Mitte said bullying is common, particularly for people with disabilities. “Growing up with a disability makes you a target,” Mitte said. “It makes you stand out. And the thing about it
is people see that as a sign of weakness and people try to play off that, but that’s a sign of weakness in themselves.” Mitte challenged the crowd when he said whenever someone gets bullied in any type of way to go stop it and make a difference. “You have a voice to make it stop, you have a voice to say ‘this is enough,’” Mitte said. “You cannot let people take away your power, and who you are and what you’re capable of. They’re going to try

to take away what you want and who you are and use it for themselves. At the end of the day, though, they can’t. It’s who you are and what makes you, you. Don’t let anyone take that away from you. Don’t let anyone try to change you.” Mitte said it was important to keep in mind that bullying is not always in the form of face-to-face contact, but through social media as well. “In social media, people don’t realize what they say, what they do and what they put out there,” Mitte said. “… but you have to think about what you post and what you say because it’s not what you say to the other person, it’s about what other people take away from it.” There are so many times where people, especially those with disabilities, cannot defend themselves, but need the help from someone else, according to Mitte. He also said people sometimes feel scared to reach out and help in these situations. Yet if a person is helping out of genuine kindness, there is no reason to be scared. “You will see an incident where people need your help, they need that difference, they need a helping hand,” Mitte said, “but are you willing to step out of your realm of comfort? Are you willing to make that difference in somebody else’s life?” Mitte is involved in multiple disability related organizations. Among these are United Cerebral Palsy, Shri-
ner’s Hospital for Children and the IMPWD (I Am a Person With a Disability), which deals with actor’s equity and diversity. “I work to make TV scripts accurate, from the standpoints of, there is only 2 percent of people with a disability on television when there’s about 75 percent of people around the world with a disability,” Mitte said “… and when it comes down to it, it’s actually 100 percent because everyone has a disability, everyone has their challenges, everyone has their faults — that is a disability. When people think of a disability, they think of physical, they think of mental, and it’s not. It’s anything that hinders you, anything that’s trying to prevent you from being who you are.” Mitte said the best one can do for someone with disabilities is give them the knowledge that they can live their own life — a full and normal life. According to Mitte, it’s common for people to think that people with a disability don’t have a right to be a functional adult, which is completely untrue because they can live a normal life and have goals. “At the end of the day, normal is whatever makes you happy, whatever you want to have,” Mitte said. “I think that’s the biggest thing with a disability, is having them find that place where they can consider themselves comfortable.”

health-wise. When you do eat there, opt for the smallest burger available and add lettuce and tomato instead of mayonnaise and cheese.
Staff Writer
The Technician’s last nutrition guide featured healthy and delicious foods to try on campus, but sometimes it’s nice to take a stroll on Hillsborough Street for a bite to eat, too. The items below provide a rough outline for how to eat healthy off campus, but always consult a nutritionist for specific dietary recommendations.
BOJANGLES’ • Garden or Grilled Chicken Salad • Green beans • Cajun pinto beans • Grilled chicken sandwich (Ask for no mayonnaise) When grabbing fried chicken, remove the skin to decrease fat and caloric intake, and skip the biscuit because it will only give you empty calories.
MITCH’S TAVERN • Vegetarian chili According to a food review by The News & Observer, the chili contains almost zero fat because the chefs cook onion and cabbage with the beans to make the base for the chili instead of cooking them all separately with a light sauté as the base.
BRUEGGER’S BAGELS The unf lavored bagels contain only five ingredients with no preservatives (flour, water, malt, yeast and salt). • Whole-wheat or sesamemultigrain bagel with lean meats and vegetables on top • Leonardo da Veggie bagel with fruits on the side. • Try grabbing a skinny bagel, a healthier option in regard to portion size.
JASMIN MEDITERRANEAN BISTRO Mediterranean food provides a “fresh and healthy” option for your taste buds, according to the restaurant’s

website. Oldways, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness about healthy dietary habits, also states the Mediterranean diet will help “lengthen your life, improve brain function and aid your weight loss and management efforts.” • Chicken platter with lentil rice and either the fruit or Greek salad. (If you get
the Greek salad, ask for half the dressing and half the feta cheese to reduce fat intake.) • Veggie Bowl (Go easy on t he yog u r t-cucu mber sauce because most restaurants use a full-fat yogurt versus a lower fat option.)

GUMBY’S PIZZA AND WINGS If you must eat pizza, try the barbecue pizza or veggie pizza, but remain cautious
with the amount of pizza you get. According to Dining and Catering Operations Nutritionist Lisa Eberhart, students should try to avoid “high-fat pizza meats,” such as pepperoni, sausage or chicken tenders. Pokey sticks should also be avoided.
JERSEY MIKE’S SUBS • • • •
Veggie Sub Baja Chicken wrap Tuna fish sub Turkey breast and provolone sub (uses 99 percent fat-free turkey) Make the sub into a salad to reduce carbs or try the wheat mini version if available.
COOK OUT Though popular and convenient, Cook Out may not provide the greatest go-to eating locale for students
“Overall, when eating at fast-food places, especially those without nutrition info, I would opt for damage control,” Eberhart said. W hen available, order grilled meats, whole-wheat breads and unsweetened beverages, and try sharing fries with a friend. In general, salads provide great nutritional benefits so long as you don’t add too much dressing, according to Michelle Borges, University Dining nutrition department coordinator. Borges said she recommends balsamic dressing (a combination of balsamic vinegar and olive oil) versus “fattier” dressings that use ingredients such as mayonnaise. Use caution when ordering soup at restaurants, as they tend to contain high amounts of sodium, Borges said. Go for less processed sandwiches containing little to no mayonnaise or other fatty sauces, Borges said. For drinks, have a glass of water with your meal instead of soda. Not only will you save money, but you will also reach the recommended six to eight glasses of water most adults need each day, according to WebMD. Although keep in mind the recommendation for daily amount of water differs from person to person and depends on many factors.

Weiman helps State crush Orange Rob McLamb Assistant Sports Editor
The N.C. State softball team took two games at Syracuse this past weekend, with the third being cancelled, to move into second place in the ACC standings. The Wolfpack defeated the Orange, 8-6 and 7-0, Sunday. The game on Saturday couldn’t be played due to weather conditions. The doubleheader sweep improved State to 23-10 overall and 12-4 in conference play. In the opening game, N.C. State had to rally late to get the victory. The Pack entered the seventh inning trailing Syracuse, 5-4. State surged ahead when sophomore designated hitter Hanna Sommer belted a tworun homer after freshman catcher Molly Hutchinson was walked. State extended its lead later in the frame when senior first baseman Leah Jones hammered her fifth home run of the season. Jones finished the game 3-for-4 at the plate with four RBIs. “I was just trying to hit the ball hard to help the team,” Jones said. “I got some pitches that I could handle, and I hit them well.” Senior second baseman Chelsea Tate later drove in senior center fielder Scout Albertson with an RBI single to give the Pack a three-run lead heading into Syracuse’s final at-bat. State’s late runs proved to be important, as the Orange struck back with a run in the bottom of the frame but could not complete the comeback. “I’m really proud of our team and the way they battled back,” head coach Shawn Rychcik said. “We got down but fought back to tie it up and take the lead. We were able to put four runs on the board in the top of the

seventh after several good at-bats. I was real happy that we took care of business in the bottom of the inning to get the win.” In the second game of the Sunday doubleheader, the Pack took control early. An RBI single from Hutchinson drove home junior shortstop Renada Davis in the top of the first inning, giving State a lead it would not relinquish. N.C. State tallied three more runs in its next at-bat to lead, 4-0. That was more than enough for junior pitcher Emily Weiman. The reign-

ing ACC Pitcher of the Year went the distance, hurling her 10th complete game shutout of the season. Weiman struck out eight, while allowing five hits and walking none in a typical dominating performance. The second game ended after six innings due to N.C. State’s travel commitments. The Wolfpack, winner of seven of its last eight games, was in complete control during the final contest of the series, and Rychick said he was happy with what he saw. “It was good to get a lead early,” Rychick said. “Emily [Weiman] got
things going in the circle, and we were able to get her some run support. We kept adding runs from there, and Emily was dominant. When we play the way we did today, we’re tough to beat.” N.C.

junior goalkeeper Alex McCauley managed to stop a one-on-one opportunity, but could do nothing about the two Navy goals, which largely resulted from unfortunate bounces. “I did feel like the ball bounced their way quite a bit, but that’s the way it goes,” Findley said. “However, I don’t think we did a great job defensively with how quickly they moved, and we didn’t transition as well as we should have.” Despite going down 0-2, the Wolfpack continued to look for a reply, and, after hitting the post and nearly converting an error by Navy’s goalkeeper, State managed to pull one back through senior center back Clement Simonin, who volleyed in a free kick from sophomore midfielder Michael Bajza. The Pack’s late comeback fell short, however, as the game finished 2-1 in favor of Navy. Findley said he took positives from the team’s first encounter with adversity this spring. “We’re trying to learn lessons in the spring and get better,” Findley said. “The lesson we learned today was: You have to play every minute all the time. You have to be willing to grind and play against a team that works hard.”

N.C. State won a wild game in Clemson, S.C., beating the No.14 Tigers 7-1 at a rain-soaked Doug Kingsmore Stadium Monday night. Shortstop Andrew Knizner and first baseman Preston Palmeiro combined for three RBIs Monday, powering N.C. State (19-12, 5-10 ACC) to its second straight conference victory. Knizner, now batting cleanup in the order, saw the ball well all weekend against the Tigers. The standout freshman went 6-for-13 at the plate during State’s three-game series against Clemson, notching three RBIs and his fourth home run of the year, tied for most on the team. Despite a string of questionable calls by the umpires, head coach Elliott Avent helped the Wolfpack keep its cool throughout the contest. Avent said his players took a big step in the right direction by taking two of three games on the road against the nation’s No. 14 team. “I’m really proud of this ball club,” Avent said. “They played their tails off this week in one of the toughest places to play in college baseball. It was a really great effort by a lot of people.” The umpires had a difficult time making accurate calls in the rain Monday. Instant replays showed the umpires were incorrect in a play at the plate in the fourth inning and a “safe” ruling at first base in the eighth inning, with both calls going against the Wolfpack. Avent said his team also did a great job of responding to adversity. “A few calls went against us today, but that’s the game of baseball,” Avent said. “I’m not a big fan of

you have to be ready to play in any conditions,” Knizner said. “I don’t think that anybody on this team was bothered by the weather.” The Wolfpack wasted no time in taking the lead. Junior shortstop Trea Turner drew a leadoff walk and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Two batters later, Knizner slapped a line drive to right-center, scoring Turner to give State a 1-0 lead. The Pack threatened again in the second, loading the bases with no outs before a 1-2-3 double play seemed to quell the threat. But the

Connecticut’s win in Monday’s national championship game marked the second time in the last three seasons that the national championship-winning team had an N.C. State transfer on its bench who was ineligible to play that season due to NCAA regulations. Former N.C. State guard Rodney Purvis transferred to Connecticut following the 2012-2013 season, and former Wolfpacker Ryan Harrow transferred to from State to Kentucky after the Pack’s 2010-2011 campaign.
instant replay, but I certainly see why it was invented.” Knizner said State’s players didn’t let the missed calls affect them. “We try not to focus on the umpires,” Knizner said. “They’re human, and they make the right calls sometimes and the wrong calls sometimes. But all of our coaches were really positive and told us to stay focused and don’t worry if you get a bad call, just move on to the next pitch. Forget what’s happened in the past and move on.” “Baseball is an outside game and

throw to first from sophomore shortstop Tyler Krieger was off the mark, scoring two Wolfpack runners and giving State a 3-0 lead. The Tigers responded in the bottom half of the inning, stealing home after a wild pitch to cut the deficit to two runs. But strong pitching from freshman right-hander Joe O’Donnell and junior southpaw Patrick Peterson kept Clemson’s bats at bay for the rest of the game. The fourth inning was where controversial calls began to come into play. Turner was ejected for slamming his bat on the ground after a called third strike. After Turner’s dismissal, Palmeiro laced a sharp grounder up the middle, evading the reach of Clemson’s infielders. The hit scored freshman right fielder Garrett Suggs and Palmeiro advanced to second after some heads-up base running. State’s next batter, junior catcher Brett Austin, reached base on a fielding error, but the umpire called Palmeiro out at home plate. Instant replays showed the call to be incorrect, but with replays unavailable to the officiating crew, the “out” call stood. A sacrifice f ly from Knizner in the seventh inning gave State a 5-1 lead, and the Pack added two more insurance runs in the ninth inning to clinch the game. Avent said he was proud of his team for persevering in the wake of disappointing results to start the ACC schedule. “Sometimes it’s hard in life to keep busting it when things aren’t going your way,” Avent said. “But that’s what these guys decided to do this weekend and I’m very proud of them. It was a great team effort from so many people, and it was fun to watch guys play together with the toughness of an N.C. State baseball team.”

The Wolfpack men’s soccer team split a preseason doubleheader on Saturday, defeating Campbell University, 2-0, before dropping a close match to nationally ranked Navy, 2-1. Head coach Kelly Findley chose to test his younger players against Campbell, fielding a side of primarily reserve players looking to break into the first team in the fall. The results were encouraging. The Wolfpack controlled the game and created multiple chances down the left side in the first half. The game seemed to be heading for a draw until late in the second half when combination play between junior forward Phil Carmon and senior midfielder Matt Ingram on the right flank resulted in a cross decisively headed in by junior left midfielder Reed Norton. The Wolfpack finished the game fewer than five minutes later when Ingram capitalized on Campbell’s loose play at the back to sprint in for a one-on-one chance against Campbell’s keeper, which Ingram emphatically converted. “I thought those guys played great,” Findley said, complimenting his reserve players. “That’s exactly what you expect. They did a good job of keeping our principles right and demonstrated they’re growing as players.” In the second game of the doubleheader, the Wolfpack competed against an excellent Naval Academy side, a team that went to the second round of the 2013 NCAA

Tournament before losing 2-1 to Wake Forest. Navy played better during the first half, but the Wolfpack’s defense held firm against staunch pressure. The main problem for the Wolfpack was transition. When defending, N.C. State traditionally looks to deny its opponents room to play and forces turnovers. The ball is then advanced quickly, and the team uses 6-foot-1-inch senior striker Nick Surkamp’s size and athleticism as an outlet to relieve pressure. Against Navy, however, Surkamp was shackled by the Midshipmen’s center back duo of senior All-American Joseph Greenspan (6 feet 6
inches tall) and junior Derek Vogel (6 feet 4 inches tall). The duo’s combination of height and speed limited Surkamp’s ability to hold onto the ball, slowing down State’s counterattacks and forcing the Wolfpack to spend considerably more time in defense than on offense. “I don’t think we handled their pressure well,” Findley said. “That was probably my biggest frustration on the day. We didn’t do the little things, like getting half-turns or getting in the right spots, and we got punished for it. Our play in the final third has to be a little bit better.” After spending so much time defending, the Pack’s core of attacking
midfielders struggled to affect play at both ends of the field. “Travis [Wannemuehler], Yanni [Hachem] and Roland [Minogue] all played a half in the first game,” Findley said. “[Michael] Bazja played 20 minutes too, so we had some guys who played over 90 minutes today in the heat, which was always going to be a factor. Navy did a great job rotating its players, too, so that made it more difficult.” During a tough 15-minute stretch midway through the second half, Navy managed to breach the Wolfpack’s back line three times.
