Service N.C. State plans for 400,000 meals CSLEPS is co-sponsoring Stop Hunger Now and a record-setting blood drive this weekend.

Chelsey Francis Deputy News Editor

The Center for Student Leadership, Ethics and Public Service is sponsoring multiple volunteer opportunities the first weekend of school.

STOP HUNGER NOW For the fourth year, CSLEPS is partnering with Stop Hunger Now in hopes of packaging 400,000 meals.

Along with other area universities, Stop Hunger Now will package 1 million meals on college campuses

by December.

According to Tierza Watts, associate director for CSLEPS, N.C. State was the first big group that partnered with Stop Hunger Now. Since that partnership in 2005, Stop Hunger Now has collaborated with Service N.C. State the first weekend of every school year.

Five buses added to Wolfline fleet Transportation makes major changes to Wolfine service this fall.

Colin Reed Correspondent

Wolfline officials will move bus stops, add new routes and make more buses available this fall for student and faculty use.

Changes include the addition of five new buses and several new routes to facilitate student travel, as well as a new location for the Dan Allen Drive stop.

Transportation will add five new buses to the Wolf line’s existing fleet of 30 in response to increasing student demand and crowding on existing buses. According to Kim Paylor, transit manager, the new buses will hold about 60 passengers.

Although the capacity is the same as the old buses, the new vehicles will allow more room for seating.

Paylor said Transportation budgeted $560,000 for the new buses, a cost it will spread over the next two years as it includes

maintenance and fuel for the Christine Klein, public communications specialist with buses.

The new buses will run Transportation.

drive on Friday.”

The blood-drive, sponsored with the American Red Cross, has a goal of 500 pints of blood, according to Michael Giancola, director for CSLEPS. “In order to meet our goal, we need about 660 people to sign up for appointments,” Giancola said. “This is due to people being turned away because they do not meet

Red Cross requirements to donate blood.”

As of Tuesday afternoon, Giancola said 652 appointments had been made. However, he said he wants everyone to know it’s not meeting the minimum number of appointments..

“The fact is people will make appointments and then not show up,” Giancola said. “We still need people to sign up or walk-in to donate blood. The ideal walk-in time will be between 11:45 a.m. and 1:15 p.m.”

The blood drive is not about

breaking the record, Giancola said, it’s about being a part of the community.

“Giving blood is the simple, easiest way for one person to give the gift of life to another person, Giancola said.

According to Giancola, there are plenty of other blood drives coming up. There is a blood drive August 30, in the Brickyard and August 31, in Bragaw Residence Hall.

a traffic challenge,” Klein said.

“We’ve received various complaints over the years.”

In the past, the stop was necessary to serve students parking in the Dan Allen Deck, but she said demand has started to shift away.

“Dan Allen [Deck] is more of a staff parking deck now,” said Klein.

The stop moved to Founders Drive in front of Nelson Hall.

According to Paylor, the new location is ideal because it already has a dedicated bus lane

and is located right in front of the building. She said the shift will not cause any major change in bus routing or student flow.

Transportation officials are also suggesting students use the Hillsborough Shuttle, which runs a route along Dan Allen and Hillsborough Street. The presence of the Hillsborough Street roundabouts makes the new path possible and is a change from the usual longer routes that tend to circle the entire campus.

“If you can’t get the Wolflink shuttle, the Hillsborough shut-

tle is still a good opt ion,” Klein said.

As for timing and schedule planning for new students, Klein had some advice.

“Take it upon yourself to go to the website and look at the timetables for specific buses,” she said.

Come the first few days of classes, she said students should already have their routes planned out – or they’ll regret it.

“It will be a zoo,” said Klein.

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK

Serving the N.C. State community T here is so much to say about what is going on on campus. Everyone is moving in and going to all the week’s events, and then classes start. But we are also doing a lot at the Technician.

We are making sure we serve all facets of the University, from the undergraduate students up to the faculty and the administration.

We are covering campus events and issues. We are representing the countless opinions on campus and firing up the others we don’t.

We are presenting the work of students who live and breathe their sections while trying to inform the other students who live for the information being presented.

Ultimately, what we do is serve all members of the N.C. State community, whether that is the undergraduate or graduate students, the staff or the faculty.

Amanda Wilkins Editor-in-chief

We print over 10,ooo copies of the paper a day and our content is always available online, so we touch the campus as well as the community that goes beyond it. As members of this staff, we seek to be aware of this and extend that awareness to the rest of the University.

This year the Technician is working to revitalize our content and improve our coverage. In the past, we may have fallen short on our promise to give the student body fair, balanced facts and an ample opportunity to express itself through our publication.

This year we want to make sure that doesn’t happen and if it does, we welcome criticism and feedback. No matter how large or small the comment or concern, we are always willing to listen and improve, because as we do, we better serve you, the reader.

While the staff decides the content, we always accept any story ideas or issues you deem pressing to the NCSU community. Beyond that, if you have an opinion about any topic related to campus or any column or story we publish, please email us and let us know what you think.

Feel free to email them to me at editor@technicianonline. com.

As students, we frequent Facebook and Twitter daily, so the Technician has created accounts on both these websites and we invite you to join us. Besides our print and online editions, our social media pages will feature extra coverage and interactive opportunities beyond the your emails and letters.

Life nowadays is about more than just reading. It’s about interaction and being connected to the story. If you’d like to help, our doors

are always open to all students.

So as the year goes on, remember we were there because you were there and we are here to serve you. We will be working hard to continue to produce an interesting, relevant paper for you and will strive to maintain a fair and balanced product.

I wish everyone the best of luck this year and, on behalf of the Technician staff, I look forward to serving you all this year.

Sincerely, Amanda Wilkins Editor-in-Chief, Technician

Uploaders v. subjects

O

occasionally on a Sunday morning, after the parties of Friday and Saturday, the alcohol memory fuzz is lifted by a revealing picture on the Internet. A si ng le Facebook a lbu m can show all of the University that last night your pitcher was slacking and just about Conrad everyone made Plyler it to your fi rst Staff Columnist base. After all, the best Facebook albums are made from a mixture of alcohol, cameras, and college students.

The first reaction most people have when they see a devastating picture on Facebook is anger at the person who uploaded the picture. The uploader must be an evil person who is trying to hurt the reputation of the people in the picture. He is trying to embarrass and humiliate the people who made the poor decisions. Because he must have a swastika on his soul, he has to take t he photo dow n on that sheer principle!

I’m tired of this react ion. T he stor ies of t his sor t keep passing my way, where some girl demands that her picture be taken down from whatever site. Though, perhaps we shouldnít be punishing the people who have taken the picture. Instead, we should let people be responsible for their own actions.

Call me what you will, but I think people are accountable for the long term consequences of their actions. If a girl or guy decides their going to get drunk out of their mind, they should realize by now that people can and will record their escapades.

Making out in public with a total stranger around your friends has great potential for a camera phone to be pulled out.

Iím not necessarily saying to stop getting drunk and making out with strangers. Option B is to accept what youíve done by

being proud of the fact you did it. Shrugging off the picture as a victory and not dreading it as a humiliating affair is another way to accept the consequences of the previous nightís actions.

When we laugh at ourselves, others laugh with us.

We should argue the point that the uploaders of pictures are in fact owners of digital media. If the picture is taken in a public setting, then I see no reason why the owner canít distribute their media in the way they see fit. I make the concession that behind closed doors the right to privacy trumps the right of property, but not in public places.

The clash comes squarely between the right of the uploaderís property and the subjectís privacy. Some would say the privacy should be protected because they are victims of the uploaders. On the contrary, the subject of the picture is in complete control of what kinds of pictures can be taken. They choose the actions made and where they take place. Subjects who are against embarrassing pictures should find a private place devoid of cameras, change t heir act ions, or stop complaining to uploaders.

Facebook is just one of the sights that pictures can be uploaded to. By now we should all understand that if an uploader wants to distribute a picture, there are enough sights and means of uploading that expecting us to control embarrassing pictures through uploaders is unreasonable. We need to cut off the pictures at the source. People should just be responsible for their actions.

“... people are accountable for the long term consequences of their actions.”

American anxiety

H

ello fellow members of Wolfpack nation. If this is your fi rst day on campus, welcome to your new home.

For those of you returning, it is that time of year again. A lot has happened this summer that Chad I cou ld Rhoades write Senior Staff about, but Columnist I am sure that you are all sick of hearing and reading about BP, Tiger Woods, and Prop 8. I will have plenty of time to comment on political issues and current events, but for my fi rst column of the year I wanted to do something a little different.

America is in a strange for place for everyone right now. We have fi nally surpassed an economic reces-

sion, but those who have been hit the hardest are seeing little to no improvement. Liberals in our country are disgruntled by the fact that nothing seems to be going their way, and they must face the reality that 2010 is an election year. Conservatives are siding in two different camps. Tea Party conservatives are seeking radical change with limited government interaction, while other conservatives want fiscal responsibility, but must face the reality that Machiavelli was right and there has to be some checks on a free market to ensure that certain individuals do not abuse the system. The polarization of parties seems to be moving farther apart opposed to coming closer together. Americans are losing faith in the system because it is now more apparent than ever that polarization has replaced cooperation.

Individuals like you and I are (or at least should be) worried about our futures. The job market does not look promising right now. I am sure many

of you even struggled to fi nd summer jobs, and those of us that were lucky enough to have jobs probably saw a decrease in hours and/or pay. The news and media only seem to bring disheartening news and sling mud over politics and controversy. The “land of opportunity” seems to be more like the land of false hopes and dreams.

I guess it is just time to accept that the world is a nasty place and we should just become numb to the pain. Wrong.

Now is the most appropriate time to realize our potential as human beings. It is time that we become responsible for what we do. I am not sure where people get this false sense of entitlement that the world owes them something. That is just simply not the way the world works. The more time and effort that an individual puts into something, the more they will get from it. We should all be proactive and ambitious, but we also need to do things in responsible and moral ways.

What Tiger Woods is doing off

the golf course, and where BP executives are taking vacation just simply are not that important. It is more important to remain focused on what you CAN change. As individuals, you should be focused on how you can improve your life and hopefully others around.

It is not easy to control what others do. I cannot promise you that other individuals will always act morally because it is almost certain that someone will always act inappropriately.

I can promise you that if you take the time to evaluate your decisions and make the responsible choices — benefits will follow. Making the most of our situations is always more beneficial then wishing they were different. No life on this Earth will ever be perfect. Don’t let American anxiety hinder your personal development — take a proactive approach to life.

Wolf Web users promote site on campus A decade old, the online message board keeps students in the know about campus and local activities.

Laura Wilkinson Features Editor

Armed with pizza and paint, a group of students and alumni set up camp outside the Free Expression Tunnel to kick off the year with marketing for the Wolf Web. Ken Warner, alumnus and a site leader for The Wolf Web, said a group was organized to paint the tunnel this year due to the event’s success last year. The N.C. State-specific social network includes message boards, a photo gallery, calendar of events and a book exchange.

“Anything anyone wants to talk about,” Warner said of the type of content featured.

“We’ve got sports talk, we’ve got a place for people to talk about cars and we’ve got people who talk about tech stuff. Chit Chat is probably our biggest section, where people just talk about whatever the heck they want to talk about. We’ve got some new stuff coming out.

We’ve got a book exchange and School Tool, where people can find teacher reviews. We’re in the process of revamping that.”

Originally created by a student in 2000, ownership has changed hands a few times and is now run by alumni.

“We’re just glad it’s back in our hands instead of some stranger in Wisconsin,” Warner said. “There are enough people on there that it self-regulates. We do have moderators like typical message boards, but for the most part, if people are acting like an idiot other people are going to call them out. If someone really pushes it, we have moderators.”

“College is not like high school where you kind of wait back to eventually get to the top of the heap,” she said. “College students need to get focused now and get out into the community. This event is all about giving students a chance to get to know each other and all the groups on campus.”

In the Roth Brewery Tap room, Eric Roth, a senior in agricultural business management, pours one of his pale ales that his bewery made. Roth created a brewery from sctratch with his brother Ryan.

Brothers launch ‘rebellious’ brewing company From homebrewing to commercial brewing, the Roth brothers aim to serve the Raleigh area with a unique brand of beer.

Laura Wilkinson Features Editor

Ryan and Eric Roth were avid homebrewers before they acted on their long-harbored dream of opening a microbrewery. Their vision was realized with the creation of Roth Brewing company, a Raleigh business that develops and sells the Roth Brothers’ original beer.

Eric Roth, a senior in agricultural business management and coowner of Roth Brewing Company, said he and his brother had never run a business or had business training when they opened the company. They pressed forward with their goal, however, because enough people were willing to back them that they were confident they could turn dreams into reality.

“We decided we’re young enough to be a little stupid and we just started talking it out, just having fun. What would it take to have a brewery?” Roth said. “This was still when we were dreaming.

What would be our dream brewery? We didn’t know anything about commercial brewing at the time.”

After being denied a $ 400,000 loan from the bank for a 30-barrel system, Roth said the two went back to the drawing board to cut down the cost.

“We took a weekend and cut everything out of our fi nancial and business plan that we possibly could. We came back and it turned out we only needed just over $100,000 to start the company and so we took a loan,” Roth said.

A f ter squaring things away with the bank, the brothers had to face their parents.

Eric Roth, a senior in agricultural business managment talks about the beer he and his brother developed in a small factory in Raleigh, NC. The brothers just had the unvieling of their third public beer in Woody’s Aug. 11. “We don’t really have any plans to move outside of Raleigh.

There are 400 bars within Highway 440 and right now we can supply six bars with beer,” Roth said.

There are currently three available beers the company markets, with two more still in the working stages.

“If you’re going to make the drive, you should be getting beers that you can’t get anywhere else. We’re work ing on ou r d a rker beers r ig ht now. We make the only barleywine that’s yearround in North Ca rolina. It’s t he highest alcohol beer made in the Triangle by any of the local breweries,” Eric Roth said.

This particular beer, Foehammer, is a pretty ambitious endeavor, according to Eric Roth.

“They are difficult beers to brew and there’s a lot of things you can do to mess them up, especially trying to hit your right sugar content to get to be 10.5 percent. It’s very difficult to do and you can mess up

a lot trying to adjust those gravities,” Roth said.

Forgotten Hollow, a cinnamon porter, recently received label approval.

“It’s a big, sweet porter with lots of cinnamon in it. It was originally going to be a winter seasonal because it is very wintertime. However, we’ve gotten a lot of good response about it,” Eric Roth said.

Raleigh Red, their American Amber Ale, is on tap at Mitch’s Tavern on Hillsborough Street.

“We know those people pretty well. When we were originally applying for our loan at Capital Bank we wanted to come in with market credibility, so we went out to local bars that we wanted to be in, that were staples of the N.C. State community,” Eric Roth said. “We went in and gave them some homebrew, to see what they thought and then asked them what we called a memo of understanding. It didn’t legally bind them to do anything for us, but it basically said our beer was commercially marketable.”

“The Student Organization Resource Center did all the campus recruitment and we had a great showing from Coke, a great campus partner,” Gilmore said. “There are a significant amount of freshmen attending and it’s important for them to become part of the campus community early.”

Ethan Bartlett, a junior in economics and one of the solicitors at the Student Government table, said Welcome Back Pack is a good demonstration of how the University provides for its students.

“It’s a great environment to meet new people, especially for freshmen. It shows the University cares about them and spends the time and money to cater just to them,” Bartlett said. “It’s also a good recruiting tool.”

Bartlett said the event provides a way for student organizations to get out information and reach students, although the involvement of the students determines the success of the night.

Director of Dining Services Randy Lait said the event is meant to make students feel more at home with the N.C. State family.

“We want to create a welcoming atmosphere for incoming students and have them meet each other, socialize and learn about student involvement opportunities,” Lait said. “We have a really good turnout. It’s

really important at the first of the semester to get people together and have them feel like part of the community.”

Richard Wachowiak and Aaron Purkaple, both freshmen in nuclear engineering, both said the event was a lot of fun and affords students an opportunity to interact with each other.

“I enjoyed being with a big group and I got to meet new people,” Wachowiak said. “I went up to a booth but didn’t sign up for much.”

Purkaple said campus organizations were really persistent in trying to solicit student involvement and sometimes wouldn’t even give away their stuff until you signed up.

Natalie Bunch, a senior in landscape architecture and one of the solicitors at the Inter-varsity Christian Fellowship table, said it was good to see freshmen

interested in the campus community and getting involved.

“It’s mostly freshmen here.

We’re interested in talking to students, freshmen in particular, and encouraging people to come to events,” Bunch said.

“People are becoming more invested in their future and acquiring knowledge. Apathy is a big deterrent, but I’m not seeing it here. Welcome Back Pack is well received.”

Jordan Jones, a freshman in the First Year College, said Welcome Back Pack really shows the University and campus organizations are trying to reach out to students, as representatives at each table will actively approach students.

“You can tell a lot of effort was put into the event,” she said.

W hile there are several other local breweries around Raleigh that Roth Brewing Company competes with, Eric Roth said they are all very helpful and willing to answer questions about brewing the brothers may have.

“We love the other breweries. We’re actually really good friends with a lot of them — most of them actually. The industry is so small; it’s such a community,” Eric Roth said. “When we run out of an ingredient — we ran over to Big Boss the other day and bought a bag of barley. There’ll be something weird, and we’ll call another brewery and they’ll tell us what to do.”

“They have so much more experience than we do.

They don’t mind telling us how to do things and we don’t mind asking,” Ryan Roth added.

“We aren’t really in a position to help anybody, but we will be and if they really needed something we would help them,” Eric Roth said. “We’re itty-bitty right now, but I’m glad we’re on this system right now.”

Top headlines of summer 2010: Yow steps in as Athletic Director, former NCAA champ goes pro StorIES By Tyler Everett

Woodson selects Debbie Yow as Pack’s new AD Former Athletic Director Lee Fowler announced the conclusion of his 10-year tenure at N.C. State at a press conference May 4.

Fowler officially vacated the position June 30. Chancellor Randy Woodson announced the decision to replace Fowler with former Maryland AD Debbie Yow June 25. Yow, the younger sister of former women’s basketball coach and Wolfpack icon Kay Yow, will bring 16 years of experience as an athletic director at an ACC school. During her time at the helm of Maryland athletics, Terrapin sports teams brought home more than 20 NCAA Championships. Yow’s first day as the Pack’s new athletic director was July 15.

2009 NCAA Champ Matt Hill leaves Pack, begins pro golf career

Luis zapata/Technician ARchive photo

2009 NCAA Champion Matt Hill announced in May that his third season with the Pack would be his last. A year after tying Tiger Woods’ NCAA record for the most victories in a season, with eight, Hill never quite replicated the success of his sophomore season as a junior. Although the achievements of his junior year paled in comparison to his accomplishments as a sophomore, his junior season was by no means a failure. Hill took home first place at the Hootie at Bulls Bay Championship in South Carolina. That victory gave him a Wolfpack record of 10 career wins, and Hill went on to record three other Top 10 finishes in 2010, including a third place finish at the ACC Championship.

Matt Hill stands on the football field Thursday, Sept. 3, 2009, to receive the trophy for the Haskins award, given annually to the nation’s top collegiate golfer.

Tracking Russell Wilson’s summer:

Pack players lead summer league squad to Coastal Plain League title Behind strong play from Wolfpack sophomore catcher Danny Canela, junior third baseman Andrew Ciencin and sophomore Tarran Senay, the Forest City Owls won their second Coastal Plain League championship in a row.

In addition to Senay, Canela and Ciencin, sophomore pitcher Chris Overman also represented the Pack on the Owls championship winning 2010 squad. Senay capped off a big postseason during which he led the team with three homers and eight RBI by driving in four runs in the opening game of the championship series.

In Ciencin’s second year with the Owls, he hit one home run and drove in four RBI in postseason play. Canela posted a playoff batting average of .261 and Overman rounded out the group’s contribution by making two appearances on the mound.

From graduation to engagement

ussell Wilson’s life has taken several substantial turns over the past three months. In less than 90 days, Wilson graduated with a degree in communications, mourned the death of his father, was drafted in the fourth round by the Colorado Rockies and announced his engagement to classmate Ashton Meem. During that same time period, Wilson also played 32 games in Pasco, Wash. as the second baseman and leadoff hitter for the Colorado Rockies Class A farm team, the Tri City Dust Devils.

Defense records four picks in situational scrimmage Coach Tom O’Brien did not release individual stats after Tuesday’s scrimmage, but based on team statistics, the defense seemed to have the upper hand. The offense handed the ball off 36 times and gained 122 yards for an average of 3.4 yards per carry and connected on 11 of 29 pass attempts for 88 yards and one touchdown.

On the other side of the ball, the Pack’s defense tallied four interceptions, four sacks and eight tackles behind the line of scrimmage.

Stats from Northeastern:

Taylor Barbour Deputy Sports Editor

Coming off a career year in which he tallied 40 tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss and four sacks, defensive end David Akinniyi had positioned himself to have a huge senior season at Northeastern University. The Huskies had a subpar 3-8 season, but had just won their final game of the season against the University of Rhode Island and Akinniyi was one of the many players who believed they had a chance to greatly improve the next season.

However, just a day after the football team’s season finale, Northeastern Athletic Director Peter Roby informed Akinniyi and his teammates that football was being dropped from the school’s athletics programs, eliminating the chance for the senior to play his final season in Boston. Upon hearing this, Akinniyi said he remembers feeling a sense of bewilderment and lack of understanding.

“I was really shocked,” Akinniyi

said. “I didn’t know what was going to happen and what my options were. I was just really confused and didn’t know whether I was going to have to sit out a year or the rules.”

After the shock wore off and the dust settled, the senior found out that because the football program was dropped, he was not required to sit out a year in order to transfer and was free to choose any school to go play for. Upon learning this, Akinniyi reopened him-
