Clinton talks economic plan at Raleigh rally Connor Bolinder Copy Desk Manager

Gabe DeCaro Opinion Editor

Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton spoke about her vision for America’s economy to a crowd of about 2000 on Wednesday, June 22 at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds Exposition Center.

There, Clinton laid out her five goals: break through Washington gridlock to invest in new jobs, make college debt-free and transform the way Americans are prepared for the jobs of the future, require companies to share more of their profits with their employees and ship fewer profits and jobs overseas, close tax loopholes, and put families first while matching policies to how people actually live and work in the 21st century.

“We need to make sure our economy works for everyone,” Clinton said. “Not just those on the top.”

James Hunt, a former North Carolina governor renowned for his work in education, introduced the democratic presidential candidate.

“As the first lady of Arkansas, she was the workingest woman on education,” Hunt said.

“She knows that economic growth and jobs depend on a good education and great public schools. I am proud to support her goal of ensuring that every child in America, in every zip code across our country, has access to a world-class education. She will lead us to that.”

In describing her goals, Clinton related healthcare, LGBT rights, income inequality, education, the student debt crisis and other separate issues under the umbrella of economic growth.

“Let’s liberate the millions of Americans who already have student debt by making it easier to refinance, just like a mortgage,” Clinton said. “Let’s make it easier to have debt forgiven by doing national service. Let’s make it easier to repay what you owe as a portion of your income, so you never have to pay more than you can afford.”

As part of her economic plan, Clinton proposed several infrastructure improvements including plans to connect every household to broadband by 2020, construct a power grid with more renewable energy and rebuild roads, bridges and airports.

Four large American flags and banners with Clinton’s slogan “Stronger Together” surrounded the stage. The event was a mix between a political rally and a rock concert, full of scenery and music.

The 120 Minutes Band performed covers

several of pop songs in order to entertain and excite the rally attendees including “Wonderwall” by Oasis, “Man! I Feel Like A Woman”

by Shania Twain, “You Make My Dreams Come True” by Hall & Oates and “Wavin’ Flag” by K’naan. Clinton entered and exited to “Fight Song” by Rachel Platten.

The supporters represented various age groups and different vocations.

For his first political rally ever, Robert Mayo, an incoming freshman studying engineering, wore a “Bernie 2016” shirt to the Hillary event.

“I’m an undecided voter, trying to see if she can make up my mind.” Mayo said before the rally.

Mayo was most concerned about the economy, regulations, the political system and its integrity, and campaign finance.

Incoming president of the Wake County chapter of North Carolina Association of Educators, Paulette Jones Leaven, has been an educator for 34 years and currently teaches food and consumer science at Holly Springs High School.

Leaven pointed to her “Schools Our Students Deserve” button and said, “This is what it’s all about. Not about me, not about my pay. It’s about the students.”

Not everyone who showed up to the rally was a supporter of Clinton. Protesters from both sides of the political aisle voiced their opinions on the side of Blue Ridge Road, away from the rally venue.

The event organizers would not let the protesters into the Exposition Center or onto the fairgrounds with their signs, according to the demonstrators. The protesters were loosely connected individuals, rather than an organized group.

Kerry Kester and Arielle Bryant were protesting in support of Bernie Sanders.

“We’re protesting the theft of our democracy,” Kester said, holding a sign that read “$250,000 is not a speaking fee. It’s a bribe.”

“I’ll never fall for the guilty trick to vote for her just because we share a common reproductive system,” Bryant said while holding a sign that read, “Things I trust more than Hillary Clinton: Flint tap-water, exit polls, mainstream media, gas station sushi and Trump’s hair.”

On the other side of the spectrum, Roseanne Sinatra supports Donald Trump, who is seen as a political outsider challenging the Republican establishment.

“Republicans are like the guy on prom night who will try anything to get in your pants,” Sinatra said next to another protester bearing the Gadsden flag, better known as the “Don’t tread on me” snake.

Wake BOE to discuss on-campus voting site Adam Davis News Editor

At NC State and throughout Wake County, groups are fighting for on-campus voting to return to the university. The Wake County Board of Elections will meet next week to decide on early voting locations for the general election.

The meeting will take place at 5 p.m. on June 30, in the Wake County Office Building at 337 S. Salisbury St. There, the university will propose a voting location at the Western Boulevard Business Services building on South Campus.

“Early voting is a very important issue for all of North Carolina,” said Bob Phillips, executive director of Common Cause NC, a nonprofit, nonpartisan public interest group that voices for government reforms. “I think that in 2008, it was the first election where more people actually voted early than on Election Day and that was replicated in 2012.”

Common Cause NC will be present at the meeting, and Phillips encourages anyone interested to attend and voice his or her opinions to the Board of Elections.

According to Student Body President Paul Nolan, a senior studying materials science and engineering, having an on-campus polling place is a crucial component of civic engagement.

“It kind of astonishes me sometimes that NC State has the immense privilege of being located in Raleigh, North Carolina, a state’s capital,” Nolan said. “We have

so much potential to cause so much inf luence with the General Assembly in our backyard. Unfortunately, we’re just not there yet, and that’s something we have to continue to push throughout the year.”

Chairman of NC State College Republicans and junior studying political science Sean Harrington believes students should have more of a voice in politics.

“My basic view is just making sure that students aren’t ignored simply as passers through Raleigh and Wake County, but actually people who have a vested interest in the community and the governance of that community,” Harrington said. “We’re not just passers through; we live here too.”

In 2012, Talley Student Union was a polling site, hosting over 16,000 voters. However, Talley was declared ineligible to be a polling location in 2014 because the building does not offer enough parking.

In the March presidential primaries, the closest polling place to the university was at Pullen Park, located near North Campus. Some argue that the park is too far for students to travel.

“For the students living in the Honors Commons, that’s a short and easy walk,” Nolan said. “But for students living at Avent Ferry, that’s a different story.”

According to Nolan, time can be a major constraint for students.

“The biggest component is that students have classes, some of them live in on-campus residence halls, their lives are on campus, and it can be a lot to ask students to travel essentially to express the right to vote,” Nolan

said. “A lot of students, whether it be class or other reasons, don’t have the capability to really invest that time to go and vote.”

Harrington thinks on-campus voting is an issue that people across the political spectrum can get behind.

“It’s fairly bipartisan, to me, the fact that you have College Democrats, who really want the polling place on campus, and even College Republicans. You know, I’ve talked to a few [College Republicans] today who are very supportive of having a polling place on campus,” Harrington said. “I think it’s nice when you have an issue that surpasses party politics and goes basically in making sure that students have a say in their home.”

The Technician reached out to Luke Smith, president of NC State College Democrats and a sophomore studying political science, but as of press time did not receive a response.

Moving forward, the Student Government Association plans to play a large role in engaging students politically, according to Nolan.

“I really want to see student government as a stakeholder and a leader in this, but also using us kind of as a nexus for all of these multifaceted interests,” Nolan said. “Whether it’s College Democrats, or CSLEPS, or College Republicans or whoever is passionate about political engagement, [they] can come to us, and we can give them the resources to kind of collectively tackle this together.”

Park Scholarship co-founder dies at 103 Staff Report

Park Foundation co-founder and President Emeritus Dorothy Dent Park died June 20 at the age of 103.

After her husband, Roy, an NC State alumnus, died in 1993, Park decided to use funds from the foundation in their name to support a prestigious scholarship program at his alma mater.

The Park Scholarship Program has funded over 1,000 undergraduate students at NC State and has raised funds of nearly $140 million. Part of these funds were used to build the Dorothy and Roy Park Alumni Center, which is the home

of the NC State Alumni Association.

“The legacy Dorothy and Roy Park leave at NC State is one that will stand as a lasting testament to their commitment to service and to their home state of North Carolina,” said Park Scholarships Director Eva Feucht, according to NC State News. “Mrs. Park’s leadership of the Park Foundation has forever changed the lives of both the Park Scholars and those whose lives are improved through their efforts. She stands as an example for all of us.”

Park and her husband founded the Park Foundation, an organization that funds various academic institutions. Af ter

Park’s husband died, Park created the Park Scholarship Program at NC State in 1996, providing four years of tuition to gifted undergraduate students at the university.

The Park Foundation also established the same type of scholarship program for UNC-Chapel Hill graduate students in the School of Media and Journalism. Along with UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State, the foundation also held similar programs at Ithaca College and Cornell University.

Park did not attend NC State, but she attended both Meredith and Peace College and was a Raleigh native.

Park and her husband felt that attending a university was just the beginning of a person’s involvement with a university, according to NC State News. Despite being from Raleigh, Park also wanted to help provide scholarships at schools with ties to her husband’s education, according to NC State News.

Park Scholars are not only held to high academic standards but are also noted for their community involvement, including Service Raleigh and the Krispy Kreme Challenge.

WKNC builds antenna, expands broadcast range Gavin Stone Staff Writer

NC State’s student-run radio station, WKNC, upgraded its antenna array, which already stretches far beyond NC State’s campus, to reach a wider audience last weekend.

The upgrade will allow WKNC’s student DJs to reach an estimated 23,000 potential

BRYAN MURPHY/TECHNICIAN

Dimensional Tower Inc tower climbers work up in the antenna tower on top of DH Hill Library to finish replacing parts of the antenna and tower setup on June 16, 2016.

NC State’s radio station, WKNC, uses the antenna to broadcast across the city. Over the past week, the antenna and transmitter have been repaired and modernized to allow the radio station to reach further and work smoother with the digital broadcast system that is now being used.

listeners in Rocky Mount, Wilson and Goldsboro. The radio station is also planning to switch over to HD radio by the end of the summer as part of a long-term project to switch from analog to digital radio, which is scheduled to be fully completed by the 201819 school year.

The upgrade cost $35,566.44 which was paid largely by student fees through the Student Media Reserve Fund. Though the installation is complete, WKNC is not currently broadcasting on its new pattern because there are still forms that need to be finalized with the Federal Communications Commission, but all of the paperwork will be filed over the summer, according to Associate Director of Student Media Advising Jamie Gilbert.

“By itself, [the new antenna array] is a pretty big deal for a college radio station I feel like, because we’re well beyond the campus at this point so it’s just even more exciting,” said WKNC General Manager Emily Ehling.

The station was shut down from about 10 a.m. on June 16 to about 5:30 p.m. on June 18 for the safety of the climbers who had to scale the more than 50-foot tower on top of D.H. Hill Library to remove the old satellite dishes and set up the new antenna.

“Aesthetically we are still on top of D.H. Hill Library, it just doesn’t look the same anymore, because we took down these big three satellites that didn’t have anything to do with us,” Ehling said.

WKNC will be tweaking its program schedule based on what it has learned from listener surveys as well as the interests of new DJs in the hope of drawing in new listeners, Ehling said. Of WKNC’s established platforms, or time blocks reserved for certain genres which

include “Afterhours” (electronica), “Underground” (hip-hop), “Daytime” (indie rock), “Chainsaw” (metal) and “Local” (North Carolina-based music), some will be made earlier or longer to give them exposure to the station’s new audience.

“The program schedule will be giving more play time for our platforms that aren’t Daytime indie rock, so we’ll be bringing in more listeners that are interested in our other genres because of the earlier start times for those platforms,” Ehling said. “We’re basically going to be paying more attention to our other platforms and the fans of those genres.”

WKNC prides itself on serving local music fans as well as music creators, and the station doesn’t expect this new crop of listeners to change the core of what it tries to accomplish with the music it plays. Gilbert said that WKNC has always considered “local music” to include the entire state, and she hopes that having 88.1 show up on dials in these new markets will add to its platforms.

“It’s the exposure aspect,” Ehling added.

“It’ll definitely strengthen our idea of local because we do consider all of North Carolina local but this time if more bands reach out to us that we didn’t touch before then it will make our definition as ‘local’ more validated.”

WKNC was able to expand its signal thanks to analog television stations switching over to digital in 2009. This removed interference from Wilmington’s channel 6 station which broadcasted its audio at 87.7, very close to WKNC’s 88.1 frequency, clearing the airways for WKNC to expand to the southeast, according to Gilbert.

“Your signal can only reach so far because of the other stations around you,” Gilbert said.

WKNC has broadcasted from the top of D.H. Hill, the tallest building on campus, since 1972, according to Gilbert. The higher a radio tower is, the further its range.

Though expanding its signal was always something it wanted to do, WKNC didn’t begin actively looking for ways to expand its range until fall 2013 when a listener in Sanford emailed the station to complain that he could no longer hear NC State’s baseball games on WKNC. This prompted the station’s engineers to look for room to expand their signal.

“People have always said ‘Hey, can you broadcast further?’ and with limited exceptions the answer is ‘no’ because we’re not the only 88.1 in the world,” Gilbert said. “One of the reasons that you can’t hear WXDU at Duke is they’re 88.7 and WSHA at Shaw University is 88.9 so they can only go so far into Raleigh before they start interfering with their signal.”

Sanford still sits just on the edge of WKNC’s southwestern reach, but its signal now includes formerly fringe cities Rocky Mount, Wilson and Goldsboro.

“By doing this we are also preventing another station from doing it,” Gilbert said. “So if another station had shown up in Wilmington, we wouldn’t have been able to do anything about it.”

According to Gilbert, WKNC’s plan to switch over to HD radio, which will allow them to multi-cast similar to how HD televisions are able to broadcast channels such as 4.1, 4.2, etc., is still far off in the future.

“We’ve got to pay for this and then gather some more money and file that idea away,” Gilbert said.

Pack welcomes new live mascot: Tuffy II Staff Report

NC State welcomed Tuffy II June 19 as the newest nonhuman member of the Wolfpack family.

Tuffy II, a Tamaskan puppy, will be trained to take the place of Tuffy, the current Wolfpack mascot.

The university announced the new mascot in a video released on YouTube June 19 showing the puppy running through Carter-Finley Stadium.

If all goes according to plan, students will see Tuffy II cheering on the Wolfpack from the sidelines this fall, according to the video.

Although the university has had good luck with live mascots recently, NC State has had many ups and downs with live mascots in the past.

From the 1940s until 1970, NC State commissioned a number of wolves to serve as live mascots, according to The New York Times.

From the cheerleaders bringing timber wolves to football games to one of the official mascots, Lobo II, being traumatized by the screams of fans and running away, the athletics department went through much trial and error in deciding whether

to keep the tradition alive.

After 1970, when the live mascot Lobo III was determined to be a coyote, NC State did not pursue any plan to have another until 2010.

Students and fans rallied for a revival of the old tradition and asked the athletics director, Debbie Yow, to approve the installment of a new live mascot, according to The New York Times.

“It was pretty much dead in the water from the start to try and get a live wolf,” said Dick Christy, the former assistant athletics director.

University officials settled on a new breed of dog called Tamaskan, a mix of German shepherd, Alaskan malamute and Siberian husky. There happened to be a Tamaskan breeding club in North Carolina, and after visiting the club, athletic officials decided on adopting a 110-pound dog named Wave, stage name Tuffy.

The university does not own Tuffy but has an agreement with the owners that Tuffy may be borrowed for game days.

Tuffy II will take over this fall, relieving Tuffy of his official duties and bringing an abundance of cuteness for years to come.

Pack entrepreneur sells chips for good cause Features Focus is a biweekly spotlight highlighting a member of the Wolfpack — professors, researchers, students past and present and anyone with a great story. If you know someone who fits this description, let us know at technician-features@ncsu.edu.

Maddy Bonabeaux Assistant Features Editor

Josh Monahan, senior studying agribusiness management, knew he wanted to pursue a career in snack foods, but what he was uncertain of was what cause he wanted to contribute to.

He found inspiration in the United States’ ubiquitous hunger problem; 1 in 6 people is plagued with the uncertainty of what their next meal will be. Monahan is no stranger to the snack food industry; his parents’ company, The Peanut Roaster, has been around for over 60 years.

“They own The Peanut Roaster, so they sell peanuts,” Monahan said. “I didn’t really want to do the peanut thing so I’m doing this.”

After two years, he launched his company, 1 in 6 Snacks, producing chips under the brand Carolina Kettle. “[I was] trying to do something snack-food related,” Monahan said. “I kind of knew the peanut side of it because of my parents, but I wanted to learn a different side of it.”

The brand name is an ode to North Carolina’s landmark vegetable. Local potatoes and ingredients are used in production. The kettle batches are hand-cooked in 100 percent coconut oil. Kettle chips set themselves apart with this cooking process.

Made in batches, they cook at a lower temperature, giving the chip its unmistakable texture and thickness.

“I knew I wanted to do something different, and nobody’s really doing the unique flavors of kettle chips, and there’s not really any other kettle chip companies in North Carolina, so I wanted to do that,” Monahan said.

Presently, the bags are being co-packed, although when Monahan graduates he plans on doing it himself.

“They’re being made in Pennsylvania right now,” Monahan said. “But that’s until I can start doing it here. We’re [with] the Got to be NC, where goodness grows. All the local products are part of the Got to be NC program.”

The flavors pack a powerful punch. Carolina Kettle features six flavors, but plans to expand in the future. The current lineup includes Bee Sting Honey Sriracha, Southern Twang Salt and Vinegar, The “Mama Gin” Dill Pickle, Down East Carolina Barbeque, Low Country Crab Boil and Cozumel Jalapeno Queso.

“I had some help with it [the design], but I came up with the flavors and told them what I was looking for,” Monahan said.

“Somebody helped me design the packaging.”

Monahan, a snack connoisseur in his own right, treated the concoctions delicately. Perfecting the flavor was a trial-anderror process, taking weeks to curate.

“It was hard getting the seasonings right,” Monahan said.

“Because the person doing the seasonings would send it to us and [we’d] be like, ‘a little bit more of this, a little bit more of that,’ then we’d have to wait a couple weeks to get a different one. So it took about a year to start, but now we’re going pretty good.”

The bags are available in 2-ounce portions, which each correspond to a $0.05 donation to the Food Bank of Central & Eastern Raleigh. To put this in perspective, one dollar is the equivalent of 5 meals.

“I donate it to the local food banks, so wherever the bags are sold we donate to that food bank,” Monahan said.

CONTRIBUTED BY JOHN MONAHAN

Monahan plans on expanding his product line and bag size.

“Right now, and I’m trying to work on a sweet potato chip, so that’ll be the next thing,” Monahan said. “Because North Carolina is number one in sweet potatoes, so it’d be kind of a cool North Carolina thing to do.”

Additionally, a plain salted flavor is in the works. The chips are available in a growing number of North Carolina locations, two of which are in walking distance from campus, Liquid State and Green Monkey.

Rusty Sutton, who co-owns Green Monkey with Drew Temple, also prefers to keep things local. His shop overflows with North Carolina gifts and craft beers.

“Everything we do here is local; that’s what excited us about these chips,” Sutton said. “We’re a gift shop and craft beer bar, so we needed snacks for people.”

The quintessential snack food didn’t last long. Overlooking the beer bar, Carolina Kettle was undaunted by comparison.

Nestled among familiar brands, the bags flew off the shelves, proving a snack not to be trifled with.

“We’ve only had them here for two weeks and we’re completely sold out except for three bags,” Sutton said.

Spread across the bar, Rusty administered a taste test. The crunchy medallions, teeming with flavor, were grabbed up by the handfuls.

“We did a tasting, opening the six flavors last week, and people couldn’t get enough of them,” Sutton said. “They were

very popular.”

Sutton, sifting through the flavors, admits he has a predilection for dill.

“The dill pickle is my favorite flavor,” Sutton said. “And I don’t like pickles — I just like the dill. It doesn’t have a vinegary flavoring to them like other dill pickle chips.”

When Sutton read up on Monahan’s story, he was excited to do business with him.

“We loved the idea of donating $0.05 of every bag to the food bank,” Sutton said. “Especially as a student going after something bigger — we thought that was so cool.”

Students at NC State will soon be able to eat their way through the flavors.

“I’m in a bunch of gourmet stores around here, and I’m trying to get into delis and stuff,” Monahan said. “But hopefully, starting at the end of this month, I’ll be in the C-Stores on campus.”

Looking forward, Monahan prospects the snack to be available in grocery stores.

“I’m talking to grocery stores now, which is a lot of work, requiring a lot of paperwork,” Monahan said. “Hopefully they’ll be in grocery stores in the next year or so.”

Makerspace offers free 3-D printing training Sandhya Chandrasekaran Correspondent

3-D printing has become more advanced over the last few years, with people using the technology to print everything from working medical instruments, to firearms to clothes.

“Would you download a car?” might soon become a real question people have to ask.

If you think you are restricted to e-witnessing the revolution, you should print yourself, say, your own Iron Man faceplate at the next Makerspace workshop at D.H. Hill Library. Last week’s participants walked away with a miniature Belltower that the LulzBot Mini printer produced for them layer by layer.

NCSU Libraries is participating in the National Week of Making as an opportunity for individuals throughout NC State to participate in making activities locally, reinforcing makers and supporting their innovation and creativity. NCSU Libraries has been celebrating National Week of Making by hosting special workshops at the D.H. Hill Makerspace to garner awareness. These free workshops include coding, scanning, modeling and, of course, 3-D printing.

“A Reddit person would call it ‘oddly satisfying’ to watch,” said Kishore Ranganath R, a graduate student studying mechanical engineering who attended one of these events.

Lauren Di Monte, an NCSU Libraries fellow, said she thought the university was acting as a pioneer in the field by offering this technology to everyone.

“In terms of library support, we are the head of the pack,” Di Monte said. “We are looked up to for how we run our space and how we collect our tools.”

Both D.H Hill and Hunt Libraries maintain public status throughout the year, meaning that their resources are offered to the public and not just NC State students. NC State continues this practice in the summer, albeit with reduced hours.

Di Monte said she is excited about the possibilities of the technology. She cited a case where a fossil of a Homo naledi ancestral human was recreated using 3-D printing from scanned images collected from a South African cave.

This workshop being the first in its series this summer, workshop instructor and technology education graduate student Justin Haynes walked participants through the entire “digital-to-physical” process of 3-D printing, which included

the anatomy of a desktop printer, preparation of a digital design file, choice of filament and post-process.

Haynes said the idea was to get a participant’s foot in the door on his or her 3-D printing journey and to inspire them to go from being thinkers to actual makers. Haynes, who aspires to be a landscape architect someday, imagines a world where he could show families prototypes of what their backyards would look like.

Haynes believes Tinkercad, an online design tool, is a great place to start sketching up. He was quick to add that Tetris first made him think about how things fit together spatially, even if just in 2-D. “It trains me to plan ahead,” Haynes said.

Di Monte said the student staff of the Makerspace acts as a great resource to help users learn and troubleshoot issues, making the space more accessible to those who are interested.

“They are the life force of the space,” Di Monte said.

Information about the remaining workshops for National Week of Making and other Makerspace events held regularly throughout the school year can be found on NCSU Libraries’ website.

Gamifying the classroom: fresh take on teaching Maddy Bonnabeaux Assistant Features Editor

Retreating to their adjacent offices, professors Edwin Lindsay and Michelle Harrolle found themselves in a similar frustration. The students in their classes both suffered from tunnel vision, eyeing the “sexy jobs” in sport management, such as head coach. If that’s not bad enough, the careers are competitive and the spaces are few.

Top-tier sports jobs may be glamorous, but they obscure a window of opportunities available in the industry. Harrolle, former professor in sport management, requested a grant from DELTA to address this problem. With the gamified Introduction to Sport Management course, students unveil career paths that they may not have considered otherwise.

“I wanted to create an interactive and fun game for students in sport management, both online and on campus, to help them learn about all of the possible job positions available,” Harrolle said. “Our goal was to have them engage with the online game, have fun and learn during the process.”

The Moodle plug-in, which took two years to materialize, can be taken either online or in-person. The course presents a varying game each semester.

“We went out and talked to people in the industry, asking what were the top 10 skills for each job,” Lindsay said. “We collapsed the 10 skills down to five so they can fit within the 16-week course.”

Upon completing the Myers-Briggs personality test, students are assigned a personalized avatar for the course. Subsequently, they pick an entry-level job, for which they

complete activities to win the game. The game ultimately revolves around building the skills necessary to secure the position of their dream job.

The job of athletic director, for instance, requires budgeting, supervision, leadership, fundraising and evaluation skills. Students have plenty of opportunities to earn points, with 75 possible activities. If students garner enough points, they can land the job. Once they are eligible, they send in a resume and cover letter, which Lindsay critiques.

“It was really a team effort; there were a lot of people involved,” Lindsay said. “I reached out to a lot of colleagues and universities. Even the people at DELTA were researching things to do for the project.”

Stephen Bader, a business and technology application developer, and Amanda Robertson, a former DELTA employee, brought the module to life.

“We had a great time developing this course and developing the online platform game for students,” Harrolle said. “The DELTA team at NCSU was amazing, forward-thinking and extremely innovative. We couldn’t have completed the platform and online game without the expertise at DELTA.” Though Lindsay was intimidated by the technology at first, he is now DELTA’s Faculty Fellow, mentoring others who are using the tool.

“I had to go through the project like an IT guy,” Lindsay said. “Bader told me, ‘You cannot break it. If something goes terribly wrong, I’ll reboot it as though it was yesterday.’ After that, I got more confidence and learned to manage it on my own.”

Navigating through the course in its entirety,

or “the scroll of death,” (a term coined by Lindsay), he says the course activity has significantly increased with the novel platform. However, the classic components of the introductory course still stand, which is the completion of five activities. If students don’t win the game, it won’t take a hit to their final grades.

Yet with the gamified platform, students are going above and beyond the requirements to grasp the material. Students eagerly complete the assignments, and Lindsay has seen an increase in exam scores across the board. Particularly, women have outperformed the males in the course, notably in forum posts. According to Lindsay, oftentimes men will come in with the preconceived notion that they know the material, while women do more research.

“The incentive for them before was slim to none,” Lindsay said. “Students are taking risks than what they wouldn’t ordinarily take. My students are experiencing more of what it’s like to be in the professional industry than ever before in my course.”

Lindsay, who once taught content in a regimented format, now places an emphasis on real-life applications. The course is prominently individualized; students are divided in accordance to their interests. Lindsay purposes the course as a networking bridge for students, connecting them with former TAs, graduate students and professionals in the industry.

“I’ve become much more of an HR counselor in this course than I do in terms of teaching,” Lindsay said. “I’ve done a lot more than I thought was possible.”

Though Introduction to Sport Management is the sole course fully gamified, engineering, chemistry and botany courses have embraced the Moodle plug-in as a supplement.

“It would be great if courses both online and on-campus were more individualized,” Harrolle said. “The largest challenges are the amount of time, funding and available technology to make this happen.”

The tool has the potential to be utilized throughout a student’s curriculum. For students on the fence, exploratory studies or the Career Center could use the tool to expose differing paths in a nonthreatening way.

“When you can cater or adapt content to a specific person, the more likely the student will engage with the content, and ultimately the more they will learn,” Harrolle said.

The module allows Lindsay to fuse his expertise in teaching and advising.

“I’d rather have students figure out what they want to do sooner than later,” Lindsay said. “We want them to sift through our programs and make their decisions effectively and efficiently, then provide them with additional resources for exploration and a professional in the field that they can reach out to and answer questions that we haven’t been able to answer.”

Lindsay, an NC State alumnus, realized he was unsatisfied with biology his junior year.

While taking an elective course in parks, recreation and tourism management, his professor encouraged him to pursue graduate school in something he enjoyed.

“Is this really something my students are ever going to use?” Lindsay said. “That’s my yardstick now. If we don’t know how they’re going to use it in their profession, then why are we teaching it? The way that I teach this class is unlike any class you’ve had. You have to have an open mind and a willingness to try something different. I flipped what I knew about teaching on its head.”

Thoughts and prayers aren’t enough T

he events in Orlando are the most recent in a long string of maniacal and merciless killings in this country.

Enough is enough. I’m beyond the point of accepting that there is “nothing that will stop bad people from getting guns.”

Luke Perrin It seems as if America is the only country that accepts that notion as a fact and huCorrespondent man lives are ending as a result.

These humans had families, lovers and friends. These humans had lives ahead of them. This isn’t an issue of an interpretation of a 200-year-old amendment. This is an issue of dead Americans. The following list catalogs the names of those killed from just six mass shootings in the past 10 years.

Countless others have been killed in smaller-scale incidents, that all share commercial firearms as the same common denominator. I don’t know what a solution for the problem is. I won’t pretend to know. Right now, I’m not sure if anyone has a precise answer for what exactly we can do to stop this from happening.

However, it’s not the duty of citizens to come up with these answers. It is our duty to elect our legislators and share our concerns with them. It’s time for our representatives to at least begin looking into legislation that would curb even just one death by the hands of a firearm.

Call your congressperson. Richard Burr and Thom Tillis are our senators. If you live in Wake County, David Price is most likely your representative. Give them your opinions, regardless of your partisanship.

Human lives shouldn’t be a political issue, and it is time to stop disregarding gun violence with just thoughts and prayers. It’s time for us to demand action for the sake of our families, friends and innocent brothers and sisters across this nation. I want action because I don’t want my family to be next.

I want action because of Orlando, Sandy Hook, Blacksburg, San Bernadino, Aurora and Tuscon. I want action for the countless others killed by guns every day. I want action because I enjoy recreational shooting, but I value lives even more. I want action, period.

Two jeers for neocolonialism textbook definition of neocolonialism.

Old-school colonialism used military means or political force to make other people into subjects. Neocolonialism is a softer, but still manipulative, form of power which influences other countries, especially former dependencies, using economic, political, cultural or other pressures. This process is readily seen when people from financially and politically stable countries (usually from Europe or America) pack up a backpack and visit a community in a “developing” country for a couple of weeks to help build a school or a well, teach English or to spread the word of the Bible.

Short-term Christian mission trips are a good example of well-intentioned neocolonialism. Often financed by rigorous fundraising, the trip consists of a group of teenagers and young adults led by a couple of adult chaperones who travel to “third world” communities in the name of Jesus Christ and Christianity.

Although the trips themselves are not de-

liberately carried out as such, the foray onto supposed “developing third world” countries followed by often-unsolicited teaching of English and/or the ways of the Bible come across to locals, as well as outsiders, as an invasion of a place and community that was doing perfectly well on its own.

Moreover, the “impoverished” countries visited by missions are often seen as less fortunate, uneducated, underdeveloped and in dire need of saving. Thus, a power imbalance is developed, wherein the Westerners conducting the trips are automatically in a position of power because of their supposed better lives enhanced by materialism, religion, physical fitness and education.

Putting one group of people (usually people of color) in a position more inferior to group of people (usually Western white people) is the basis for colonialist thinking. Colonialists spread across the world with the intention to save those “less-fortunate” in Africa, South

America and India — to give them a supposed better life while taking their resources as an assumed “thank you.”

The clincher is that, at the time, those who were being “saved” had no desire for it; they did not want Westerners trampling over their land, taking their resources, and proclaiming themselves as saviors. Today, I have no idea or insight as to whether “impoverished” communities that host missionaries are doing so knowingly and willingly or not.

The fact does remain, however, that entering a community, using its already-scarce resources and forcibly teaching the local people Western languages and religions is not only unnecessary, but it also puts forth the wrong message: that people of color around the world are automatically inferior, less fortunate and in need of saving, and that white people are the ones who have to save them, as they have done for countless bloody centuries thus far.

COURTESY OF NC STATE ATHLETICS

Kozeniesky shoots for gold at 2016 Rio Olympics David Kehrli Interim Sports Editor

NC State junior rifle shooter Lucas Kozeniesky positions his feet perpendicular to his body, places his air rifle in his right shoulder pocket, rests his cheek on the weld and steadies himself as he aims through his glasses at his target at the practice range inside Broughton Hall.

Being a shooter since high school, Kozeniesky has performed this routine thousands of times, and he will again in August, only this time on the biggest stage in the world — the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Despite having a Marine colonel father and a family history of military service, shooting wasn’t something he grew up with and it certainly didn’t come as naturally to Kozeniesky as one would think it would to an Olympian.

In fact, it all began for Kozeniesky when his parents told him to pick a sport to get involved in while in high school. He settled on rifle simply because it looked “interesting,” but his early results were subpar to say the least.

“At the end of my freshman year of high school, I was the worst shooter on my team,” Kozeniesky said. “So I said, ‘I’m going to get better at this. I like this. This is neat and it’s a unique sport, and I want to do better at it.’”

Get better, he did. So much better he’s less than two months away from competing for an Olympic medal in the 10-meter air rifle event, which consists of shooting a series of 60 shots at a target the size of a period at the end of a sentence, while standing up and 10 meters (roughly 33 feet) away.

In addition to spending four hours a night in Broughton Hall, repeatedly firing off shots to improve his skills to an Olympic caliber, Kozeniesky has invested heavily into the idea of mental management and attributes much of his success to it.

“Mental management is organizing yourself to perform at a higher level consistently,”

Kozeniesky said. “I list a goal, I list how I’m going to do it and I list the things I’m going to achieve while getting there.”

To achieve his ultimate goal, Kozeniesky stays focused on the here and now, and doesn’t get ahead of himself which helps to keep pressure off himself and reduce anxiety.

“A better way to describe it would be: If you’re driving down the road, and you’re trying to get off on exit 100 and you’re at mile one, you’re not thinking about turning right up to that exit until you’re close to it,” Kozeniesky said. “You’re thinking about staying in your lane, you’re looking around at people in your mirrors, you’re looking at driving well, you’re looking at the people in your car making sure they’re safe. You’ve got to get off to get gas, you’ve got to get back on to get to your goal.”

Kozeniesky qualified for one of only two available spots on the U.S. Olympic men’s rifle team June 5 at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Camp Perry, Ohio by finishing first in the men’s air rifle competition, beating out some of the top male and female marksmen in the country by a sizeable margin.

“At the Olympic Trials, that was when I peaked at my performance,” Kozeniesky said. “All the training I did leading up to the event was to peak at that time, to have my best performance on those days. It didn’t really hit me how well I was doing until maybe the last 10 shots of the match when everyone was looking at me, and it was like ‘wow, I really just did this.’”

After becoming the first Olympian in NC State rifle history, Kozeniesky hopes to become the first American to ever medal since air rifle became an Olympic sport in 1984.

While other countries from around the world tend to dominate Olympic shooting competitions, don’t tell Kozeniesky’s head coach Keith Miller the rising senior has no chance.

“Sure, I’ve seen [a shooter make the podium when not expected to] at different levels,” Miller said. “Why not this level?”

The NC State track and field team sent seven athletes to the NCAA 2016 Outdoor Track and Field Championships June 8-11 in Eugene, Oregon.

The men finished 33rd and the women finished 25th in competition, while six athletes received first-team AllAmerican honors.

The Wolfpack began competition on a positive note as its 4-x-100 meter team, consisting of freshman Nyheim Hines, sophomore Shannon Patterson, sophomore Quashawn Cunningham and senior Jonathan Addison, advanced to the finals by placing third in its heat and seventh overall. The team’s time of 39.11 seconds was its personal record, .13 faster than its previous best in the event and just .04 shy of the school record set in 1989. The relay headed into the next round of competition with guaranteed points at nationals and first-team All-American honors. The squad also became the first Wolfpack 4-x-100 team to qualify for the NCAA finals since 1991.

“Nobody really expected NC State to have a relay team good enough to be there,” Hines said. “For us to even be there, I feel like that was a real accomplishment.”

The NC State 4-x-100 squad went on to make history in the finals by finishing seventh with a time of 39.48, becoming the first 4-x-100 All-Americans since 1991. Hines, Patterson, and Cunningham received their f irst career All-American honors. Senior standout Jonathan Addison wrapped up his illustrious collegiate track career with his fifth All-American honor and his first in the 4-x-100.

Along with the men’s 4-x-100, Addison also competed in the men’s long jump and took sixth place with a leap of 25 feet. The Raleigh native got off to a rough start in the event, but was able to clinch a spot in the finals on his third and final preliminary jump. Addison gradually improved on his last two jumps in the finals to move from eighth to sixth place to finish competition.

Redshirt senior Luis Vargas and redshirt junior Sam Parsons both competed

in the men’s 10,000-meter. Vargas performed impressively, finishing seventh with a time of 29:18.40 and Parsons capped off his breakout track season finishing 20th with a time of 29:48.76.

Vargas became the first Wolfpack men’s 10,000-meter All-American since 2004 and concluded his only season with the Wolfpack as a three-time All-American.

During the second day of the outdoor national championships, senior standout Alexis Perry turned heads as usual.

Perry took second in her heat and sixth overall in the semifinals of the women’s 100-meter hurdles with a time of 12.96, just .06 short of her personal best.

In the finals of the women’s 100-meter hurdles, Perry finished fifth with a time of 12.87, shaving .03 seconds off of her previous personal best and earning her first-team All-American honors. Perry’s performance secured the second-best time in Wolfpack history in the event and she becomes one of only two runners in NC State program history to become a first-team All-American in the event.

“It’s just been me telling myself, and my coach telling me that I know I can run fast, I deserve to get into big meets,” Perry said. “I can hang in there with the other elite athletes, so it was just about reassuring myself and being more confident.”

Aside from the women’s 100-meter hurdles, Perry also competed in the women’s long jump. After fouling on her first jump, Perry bolted from the bottom of the standings into the top-five. The senior ended up placing fourth in the event with a mark of 20-8 1/2 earning Perry yet another career All-American honor as she became only the second athlete in Wolfpack history to earn such honors in the event.

Perry completes her successful collegiate track career as a four-time AllAmerican and the only athlete in NC State histor y to earn All-American honors in both the women’s 100-meter hurdles and women’s long jump. She is also the NC State outdoor school record holder in the long jump with a leap of 21-6 3/4.

“It’s definitely awesome,” Perry said.

“When I have my kids and they get into track, I’ll be that mom that will bring them back to NC State and show them what I did.”

Five selected in 2016 Major League Baseball Draft Christian Candeloro Staff Writer

The Wolfpack baseball team had five players selected in the 2016 MLB Amateur Player Draft. The class was headlined by four juniors and one senior, and while it is still unknown if all five players will exercise their rights to leave, it is expected that most will be departing from Raleigh.

The first NC State player taken was junior first baseman Preston Palmeiro, who started 59 of the 60 games this season at first base for the Pack. The Colleyville, Texas native was drafted in the seventh round by the Baltimore Orioles, the same team with whom his father, Rafael, finished his career.

Following Palmeiro in the seventh round was junior catcher Andrew Knizner, who was drafted by St. Louis Cardinals and signed for $185,300, officially ending his NC State career.

Knizner earned freshman All-America honors at third baseman in his inaugural campaign, but the Wolfpack coaching staff decided to move him to catcher for his sophomore season.

Knizner responded by hitting .317 in his sophomore campaign and .292 his senior year. His defense was suspect at times behind the dish, but his offensive potential made him too difficult to ignore as an MLB prospect.

Relief pitcher Will Gilbert was the next player to hear his name called, and as a senior with little leverage in the negotiation process, he signed fairly quickly with the team that selected him in the eighth round, the Oakland Athletics.

Gilbert was a lockdown force in the NC State bullpen this past season, posting a 5-1 record with a 2.22 ERA in 24 games.

His most masterful performance came in a relief role against Coastal Carolina in the Raleigh Regional, where he posted eight strong innings, allowing only one run on five hits and pitching the Wolfpack into a winner-take-all game with the Chanticleers.

Gilbert was assigned to the Vermont Lake Monsters, the Class-A Short Season affiliate of the Athletics. He made his debut June 20 against the Connecticut Tigers, throwing 1.1 scoreless innings and striking out two batters.

In the 15th round, starting pitcher Ryan Williamson was selected by the Washington Nationals. Williamson had a breakout season in 2016, going 7-2 with a 2.69 ERA for the Wolfpack in 15 appearances. The Wolfpack looked like it had two dominant starters at the top of its rotation with lefty ace Brian Brown and Williamson pitching extremely well this season. However, Williamson ran into arm trouble late in the season, tearing a ligament and missing most of the Raleigh Regional, where the Wolfpack needed him healthy to succeed.

He made one start in the Regional, lasting only one inning and clearly laboring, before being shut down for the season.

If rumors of Williamson needing Tommy John surgery and likely missing all of 2017 are true, then it’s hard to see Williamson returning to the Wolfpack.

Junior reliever Cody Beckman rounded out the draft class after being selected by the New York Mets in the 25th round, becoming the fifth and final NC State player drafted. Beckman’s numbers don’t jump off the page, with a 2-0 record and a shiny 6.05 ERA to boot in 16 appearances. However, Beckman looked extremely strong out of the pen for the Wolfpack in the Raleigh Regional. In addition, his ERA was largely a product of two bad outings for the lefthander, and was not indicative of his season as a whole.

Some notable Wolfpack players didn’t hear their names called in the 2016 draft, led by senior designated hitter Chance Shepard. Shepard displayed large power numbers

in his final season with the Wolfpack, but his strikeouts and lack of a true position ensured he wouldn’t be drafted.

Undaunted, Shepard signed a deal with the Washington Nationals and will have a chance to continue his pursuit of the major leagues.

Also undrafted was junior right-hander Cory Wilder, who battled control issues all season but at times flashed dominant stuff. After Wilder was undrafted after 10 rounds, his father announced he would be returning to State for his senior

season, effectively ending any chance he would be drafted.

Finally, senior left-hander Travis Orwig, who posted a 1.93 ERA in 17 appearances for the Wolfpack this season, went undrafted and has not signed a free agent deal at this time.

The Wolfpack lost a few very productive players from a team that won 38 games and came within one strike of a Super Regional, but with this being the third year in a row the Wolfpack has had five players drafted, the system is in place for the Wolfpack to bounce back just fine.
