Debt agreement could harm students’ pocketsThe recently passed debt ceiling may increase the cost of student loans.
John WallNews Editor
Although the long-term effects on student loans borne by the debt ceil-ing increase are not fully understood, students can expect changing interest rates as they seek further loans.
According to a Wall Street Journal article, student loan debt in the United
States totals $830 billion. That figure will probably increase as financial aid has become increasingly scarce — a prediction that the University has recognized.
The Board of Governor’s decreased University funding by 15.1 percent this year.
According to the University website, “reductions in the [Board of Gover-nor’s] student financial aid budget will have a negative impact on student fi-nancial aid resources available to NC State students. It is not yet clear what the full impact will be but with less
financial aid, the number of student loans likely will increase.”
The decreased supply of financial aid will force students to look elsewhere for ways to pay for college, and they will mainly look to student loans. As a consequence, the demand for student loans will push interest rates higher.
Supply of loans must keep up with demand in order to keep interest rates stable. With tight credit throughout the economy, this is unlikely. The U.S. congress avoided defaulting on its bills this summer by increasing the debt ceiling — a limit on the nation’s total
accrued debt. Had they not, interest rates on loans,
including student loans, would have jumped along with rates on all credit. In the midst of heated talks between those on the right and left wing, law-makers considered removing subsidies from student loans.
“The issue is that when [congress-men] were cutting programs, one of the things that is on the chopping block to get cut is the subsidization of student loans. When students apply for loans, they can get subsidized or unsubsidized loans,” graduate student
in economics Jonathan Eyer said. “Subsidized means that the govern-
ment is not going to charge interest while you are in school. If you borrow $10,000 as a freshman, when you get out it’s still $10,000. The government could be doing something else with the money it feeds into loan subsidiza-tion, though. It is a problem of oppor-tunity cost — the next best thing the money could be used for,” Eyer said.

Talk set to seek solutions to bee-killing disorderProfessor hopes his presentation will lead to new ideas about what is killing honeybees.
Brooke WalligStaff Writer
A “mysterious” disorder is wiping out honeybee colonies worldwide, and one professor is hoping an interdisci-plinary presentation will lead to new insight into the origins of the disorder.
David Tarpy, an associate en-tomology profes-sor and extension apiculturist, will hold a presenta-tion on “colony collapse disor-der” at the Col-lege of Veterinary Medicine from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Colony collapse disorder is a major issue because it’s killing off species closely connected to our own lives, according to Tarpy.
“It’s important to maintain a healthy
honeybee population because they are responsible for about one third of ev-erything we eat. They are indispens-able pollinators used in commercial production agriculture,” Tarpy said. “If it weren’t for bees pollinating about 100 of our crops, we wouldn’t have many fruits, nuts and other foods that define the American diet.”
While Tarpy said the disorder has gained a lot of publicity recently, little is known about its causes.
“Colony collapse disorder is a still mysterious syn-drome that has befa l len many honeybee colo-nies in the Unit-ed States, and has made a lot of headlines in the last three years,” Tarpy said. “But the underlying causes are still
undetermined.”Researchers are examining multiple
areas of bee health to try to find the cause, according to Tarpy.

businesses
updating
Local business owners make an effort to be student-friendly.
Elise HeglarDeputy News Editor
Business owners on Hillsborough Street have been making changes in the last few months to make their es-tablishments more appealing to Uni-versity students.
Businesses such as East Village Grill and Two Guys have been making changes in appearance and manage-ment in order to stay updated for their customers.
“A lot of businesses have been doing some new marketing and really try-ing to reach out to their customers,” Jeff Murison, the executive director of the hillsborough street community service corporation, said.
In addition to existing businesses making changes, there are also two new businesses that will be opening on Hillsborough St. in the near future. Chile Bomba will be opening where the Mexican restaurant El Rodeo used to be located. According to Murison, the new business is under the same ownership as El Rodeo and is under-going some re-branding changes.
“They are under new management and they are doing a lot of renova-tions to the building. It’s going to be brighter and more welcoming; the same place everyone knows and loves with a new face,” Murison said.

taurant, will be opening on Hillsborough St. within the next month. It is replacing what used to be a conve-nience store.
Some businesses, such as East Village Grill, have made small changes. Tay-lor Matthews, a manager at East Village, said most of the changes were about updating the restaurant and making it stay relevant for customers.
“All restaurants are go-ing to evolve at some point and it was just time for East Village to evolve a little bit,” Matthews said.
In addition to the internal changes, East Village is now
offering a dog-friendly patio area for customers. Matthews said that they decided to make the deck dog-friendly after re-alizing that Raleigh does not have a lot of places where dogs are allowed.
East Village is now also rely-ing on locally grown produce for the restaurant. Matthews said they decided to make this change in order to give back to and stay involved with the community.
“Most everyone seems to like the changes so far,” Matthews said.
The reason for all of the changes, according to Cathe-rine Hilla, a senior in business administration, who interned with the hillsborough com-munity service corporation, is that businesses want to be more appealing to the student body.
“Owners noticed that their businesses weren’t showing that they wanted people to come in,” Hilla said.
Business owners are hoping to appeal to the student body with these new updates on Hillsborough St., according to Hilla.
“We want to inform students about these changes so that students will want to come out on Hillsborough Street,” Hilla said.
Murison said the updates are just an extra way to make the street welcoming to the student body. The updates coupled with the finished street renova-tion project create an environ-ment that students will enjoy, Murison said.
“It has become more pedes-trian friendly and more wel-coming. It is clean and safe
and there is more parking available,” Murison said.
Murison also said busi-nesses have been remodel-ing frequently in order to keep up with the new busi-nesses coming onto the street.
“People are putting in more investment because everybody on the street is stepping up their game,” Murison said.
Murison said that he hopes students will frequent all of the businesses on Hill-sborough St. and enjoy all of the updates that have taken place in the past few years.
“We’re ready for students to come back to campus and re-discover Hillsborough Street and all it has to of-fer,” Murison said.

cuts before approving the debt ceiling increase, while they si-multaneously would not budge on raising taxes. With more spending and unchanged tax revenue, something had to go. By proposing a cut to student loan assistance, they believed there was a more appropriate use of the funds.
“[The federal government] could buy Chinese bonds with that money instead. They could
invest it at the worldwide rate of interest. By choosing not to — by giving the money to students — they are incurring the cost of what they’re not get-ting to invest in other things,” Eyer said.
If the government ends subsi-dies, it would increase student loan interest rates, according to Associate Professor of econom-ics Michael McElroy.
“Student loans largely come through the private sector, but they have federal guarantees; This encourages banks and other financial institutions to make these relatively low inter-
est rate and increasingly high risk loans because they get sub-sidized from the government.
“The extent that subsidy is taken away, it would certainly raise the cost of student loans,” McElroy said.
Although student loans make up a hefty portion of total debt in the United States, they are one small part of an interna-tional financial system.
Therefore, with a heavily in-terconnected worldwide econ-omy, it is difficult to predict the exact impact the debt ceiling rise will have on student loans.

Landscape architecture students beautify Turlington and OwenGraduate landscape design students complete beautification project outside residence halls.
Elise HeglarDeputy News Editor
Graduate students in the landscape design program got the opportunity to complete an entire project between Owen and Turling-ton residence halls.
Housing staff had been discussing doing some-thing with the space be-tween Owen and Turling-ton for several years before
the official announcement of the project, according to Keith Wickliffe, the assistant direc-tor for University Housing on central campus.
“There had been interest for several years in doing some-thing with the space and this was a good opportunity to make it happen,” Wickliffe said.
Students in the graduate level landscape design program worked with Andrew Fox, an assistant professor in landscape architecture, to design and ul-timately create the space. The section between Turlington and Owen is phase one of a project that will be completed
in 2015.The design students who
completed the project looked at five different options for on-campus renovation before choosing the space between Turlington and Owen for their project. The students were cho-sen to work on this project af-ter the University saw success with a project they completed behind Syme residence hall.
“Housing likes to reach out to our students when it comes to projects like this and this gave us a great opportunity to do that,” University Housing employee Pete Fraccaroli said.
The area, which used to hold mulch, broken benches and unused outdoor grills, now has several benches where stu-dents can sit, as well as intricate landscape design throughout the area.
“This was an under-utilized space and we wanted to change that for our students,” Fracca-roli said.
One of the reasons this par-ticular area was chosen for the project was that it is an area frequented by visitors to
campus. Owen residence hall is displayed as an example resi-dence hall to potential students and their parents who tour the campus.
“This is a high traffic area for students and parents who are visiting the University. It’s helpful for them to see a place that not only looks good but was actually created by some of our students,” Wickliffe said.
One of the catalysts of the project was the Turlington Hall Council. According to Wick-liffe, the council advocated for a better use of the space for students last year. After poll-ing students in the dorm, it was decided that the project would go forward.
“We started conversations with the Turlington hall coun-cil about working on the space, and then this opportunity with the design class came around, so we made it work,” Wickliffe said.
The space was officially un-veiled in early August for stu-dent use. There has been good reception of the space so far, Fraccaroli said. You can find
students lounging between classes or reading a book on one of the newly installed benches.
“This space is good because it is a little sheltered and se-cluded space. It’s somewhere that students can go for a little quietness between classes,” Wickliffe said.
Lindsey Schaefer, a sopho-more in creative writing and a second-year resident in Turl-ington, is appreciative of how much work project workers accomplished before residents moved in.
“I am really appreciative of how much they were able to get done before the students got here. The Thunderdome is such a prominent feature to living here and it adds so much to the dorm to be able to hang out with friends outside on the nice days,” Schaefer said.
Fraccaroli says that he is hap-py with the way the project is turning out and he expects to see a lot of student use it in the future.

“Many different factors af-fect colony health,” Tarpy said. “The three categories of factors investigators have been look-ing into are different diseases, such as mites, and other issues as well as nutritional stress, such as how their limited for-aging resources might lower nutrition and cause health problems. They also look at environmental contaminants such as pesticides and how they react with the syndrome.”
However, Tarpy said it is of-ten difficult to tell if a colony has lost so many of its mem-bers because of colony collapse disorder or one of many other syndromes and diseases.
“Honeybee colonies die for so many reasons and have been affected by many other problems for decades, so some of these symptoms can be dif-ficult to distinguish from other problems that befall colonies,” Tarpy said.
One of the most obvious signs specific to colony collapse disorder is a major loss of adult bees despite plenty of resources and unborn young, according to Tarpy.
“The tell tale symptom of an
aff licted colony is that there is a rapid depopulation of the colony in a matter of days—not weeks—and there is left be-hind a lot of developing young or brood,” Tarpy said. “That’s how beekeepers know it was sudden because someone has to raise the brood.”
Tarpy also said there are other symptoms of the disorder that ultimately rule out other honeybee problems.
“Another sign of the disorder is that there is plenty of stored food, honey and pollen in the combs—showing t h a t t h e colony did not starve to death,” Tar-py said. Also, any bees remain-ing, and there would only very few, tend to be either the ones that can’t fly or the queen. This rules out the colony deciding to leave because they’d never leave their queen behind.
According to Tarpy, one of the biggest problems with de-termining the cause of the dis-order is that it is highly unlikely that there is only one cause.
“The convention from those researching this from the be-ginning is there is no single
factor that characterizes colony collapse disorder,” Tarpy said. “It seems pretty evident now that there are different com-binations of factors that can lead to colony collapse disor-der—and it’s because there are so many different parts that it’s harder to pin down the causes.”
Tarpy said that students who cannot attend his presentation but are interested in learning more should consider tak-ing one of several honeybee
courses of-fered by the University’s entomology department.
For those i n a t t e n -dance how-ever, Tarpy said he hopes this presen-
tation will shed some light on the disorder by examining the problem from different points of view.
“They have people in the vet-erinary world that have very different views of animal hus-bandry than entomologists,” Tarpy said. “I hope it will be a good discourse to view a com-mon problem from different angles—from an epidemiologi-cal, agricultural, and biological standpoint.”

Volunteers from the N.C. State and Raleigh communities help package meals at the Service N.C. State event Saturday, Aug. 20. More than 700 volunteers came out and packaged more than 100,000 meals to send to Swaziland. The event was much smaller than in past years, due to a lack of sponsorships.
Volunteers lend a helping hand
Kyle Balton, an alumnus, helps unload 50-pound bags of rice from the back of a truck before the Service N.C. State event on Aug. 20. Before the event could officially begin, volunteers had to unload all the food from the trucks and carry it into the gym.
Jenny Keith, a junior in biological sciences, and Aaron Marcus, a senior in applied mathematics, dance to the YMCA song while they weigh meal bags during Service N.C. State on Aug. 20. This is Keith’s fourth year helping. “It’s a really great event to help,” Marcus said. “We’re having fun dancing and scaling.” Volunteers sang and danced to music while they worked during the event.
The University partnered with Stop Hunger Now and the American Red Cross for the annual Service N.C. State event Friday and Saturday. In total, 1,032 units of blood were collected by the American Red Cross
on Friday and 103,506 meals were packaged on Saturday in partnership with Stop Hunger Now to benefit people in Swaziland. In years past, the University was able to package more meals, but this year there were fewer sponsorships to offset food and other costs.

{ }Our view
As students arrived on campus for classes to begin, they were met
with constant construction projects occurring on and around campus. The projects included off-campus construc-tion of the Valentine Com-mons apartment complex, the Hillsborough Street shops’ face-lifts, renovations of Talley Student Center, minor renova-tions to Witherspoon Student Center and the constant work being done on Centennial Campus.
Although these distractions make commuting to and on campus difficult, and some-times cause disturbances to student life, the benefits ulti-
mately lie with the students.While it’s easier for students
to complain about the ongoing construction projects, it’s diffi-cult to see the resulting effects to student life.
For instance, the re-beautifi-cation of Hillsborough Street is aimed for it to be more college-friendly and to appeal to the student demographic. Making these projects with students in mind will allow for more op-portunities at the University.
Aside from the noisy nights and crowded crossroads to class, the constant production
in our community, especially during this time of economic recession, symbolizes progress, and progress is something we as students are fortunate to have in our neighborhood.
If there are new businesses coming to or near campus, their ideal marketing technique will be to give out truck-loads of free stuff — and as college students we love free stuff.
These businesses care to have our business, so we should not just blow them off solely be-cause right now they’re crowd-ing up our daily walk to class.
We should embrace these proj-ects and look forward to what they will bring to our campus and our community.
If you look at the benefits these businesses will bring to our campus, the more positive and interactive community we have, the more positive effect it has on our University. The better our University looks, the more students will want to at-tend our school.
The main point to remember is when you encounter these projects and see them as a has-sle, be patient, because the time invested in these projects will allow our community to pros-per and positively impact our overall collegiate experience.
The unsigned editorial is the opinion of the members of Technician’s editorial board, excluding the news department, and is the
responsibility of the editor-in-chief.
Construction means progress, embrace itThe FacTs:At the beginning of this year, Raleigh and N.C. State University embarked on numerous construction projects around and on campus. This includes the area surrounding N.C. State: Hillsborough Street.
Our OpiniOn:Students should not be upset and disturbed by these projects, but rather embrace the change they bring to campus and our community.
The Wolfline needs to streamline information
At the beginning of ev-ery school year you are bound to find confused,
new students on campus. I mean really, the place is huge and, honestly, some of the
buildings’ lay-outs are not all that intuitive. Harrelson Hall
has those strange alternating staircases taking you to every other floor so if you get on the wrong one you’d be totally lost on the wrong floor. Dabney and Cox run together making it all too easy to walk into another building without even notic-ing it; and the worst offender of a l l i s Carmichael Gymna-sium with its labyrin-thine design making it impos-sible for a stranger to navigate its realms.
Of course, most of these puzzles can be figured out in the first few weeks of being on campus. However, one thing manages continuously to screw up peoples’ daily school lives—the Wolfline bus system.
Now, I appreciate t he Wolf line a great deal, espe-cially as an engineer since I have to hop back and forth between Centennial and main campus. A free bus servicing all of campus is pretty much essential to a school our size. However, if you are going to provide a system for students to plan their schedules around, it might be a good idea to give students prior warning before the Office of Transportation goes and changes the bus routes and schedules.
On the first day of the semes-ter I had just gotten out of class on Centennial Campus and was walking over to Oval Drive where I had left my bike. When I got out to the big walkway in front of Engineering Build-ing II, I was surprised to see more people standing around waiting than I had ever seen before. Of course all of those people were expecting Route 3 to take them back to main cam-pus. Little did they know that the University had axed Route
3 and even if they waited there all day, no one was coming to give them a ride.
Why did not a single person in the crowd know about the route change? Was it because they’re dumb or maybe they were too lazy to check the Wolf line website? Dumb and lazy don’t really sound like characteristics of N.C. State engineers, so what was the problem? The problem was the information was not streamlined to the students like information about bus routes should be. It wasn’t until 2:18 p.m.
later that day that an email was sent out in-forming students o f t h e route change.
How hard would it have been to send that email one day earlier before it caused headaches for those who needed to get to class on a campus two miles away.
This instance causes con-cern for the future as well. With all of the construction going on around campus, who knows how many times the buses around main campus will have to go alternate routes and not keep their normal stops? When that happens are they going to wait until it’s too late to give everyone a heads up again? I certainly hope not. It’s not like they don’t have every student’s email address, and it’s not like it takes more than a sentence telling us we might want to check the schedule out.
While it is true you can check the schedules online, does anyone really have the time to check it every time they need to get on a bus? No way.
All it would take to save us all some serious head-ache and hassle is a simple email a day before any changes happen. Do that, N.C. State Transporta-tion, and you will have my thanks.

Dorm visitation policy is outdated
The 14th amendment of the U.S. Constitution contains the Equal Pro-
tection Clause, which says that the laws of a state must provide each individual with an equal
protection of laws.
In the name of student pro-tection, Uni-versity Hous-ing has adopt-ed a system of hypocritical rules regard-ing visitation by members
of the opposite sex. Most col leges in North
Carolina and other states of the south follow this same un-fair system, whereas northern universities have a more lenient system in place. The southern system of visitation rules is outdated and should be revised immediately.
University visitation proto-col follows two different sets of rules. If the hall is Bragaw or Alexander, “24-hour visita-tion will be allowed in selected halls/areas as designated by University Housing and may be periodically revised.” However, if the hall is Wood, Sullivan or Lee, guests of the opposite sex must be out by 1 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 2 a.m. Friday through Saturday. In any case, guests of the same sex may stay overnight as long as the student’s roommate agrees.
The only redeemable portion of the policy is a roommate agreement, which should al-ways be included when guest visitation is concerned. Ac-cording to University Hous-ing rules, if a roommate is not
comfortable with a guest, he/she is allowed to report the in-cident to their resident advisor, regardless of a 24-hour visita-tion policy.
Every other rule is utterly ridiculous, especially the fact that the residence hall policy is arbitrarily determined by University Housing and can be revised at any moment. How-ever, it is far more appalling that restrictions on overnight guests exist at all, especially on the basis of sex.
In the south, traditional gender roles have survived for much longer than in the north. Many traditional gender roles still exist in the south, and the further south one ventures, the more gender inequality is evidenced. In the north, most universities, with the exception of all-female institutions, have 24-hour visitation policies re-garding members of either sex.
The overnight visitation dis-crepancy in the south, particu-larly at N.C. State, is just anoth-er reminder that women are not treated equally. It is common knowledge that enforcement of the policy is much stricter in girls’ halls or suites, and the rule merely encourages women to go to potentially more dan-gerous locations like a house or apartment to stay the night with a male.
The housing rule further inconveniences people in es-tablished relationships, both male and female. Those cou-ples on campus are forced to say goodbye at a certain time each night or sneak each other into their dorms for the night. Long-distance couples have it even worse because of a lack of a place to stay during the sparse
visits. The housing policy is not only maintaining a tradition of sexism but also discouraging established re-lationships from advancing.
The biggest issue with the the University’s visitation policy is its unequal rules and their enforcement. University Housing should adopt either a 24-hour pol-icy for all its dorms, or the restricted policy for each residence hall. If Housing chooses to restrict visitation they should also not allow members of the same sex to stay overnight. The current rule simply favors closet gay and lesbian couples and same-sex friends.
Because the restricted policy is outdated, sexist and hypocritical, University Housing has no choice but to adopt the 24-hour policy for all its dorms. Laws exist in the United States to pro-tect all its citizens. Though law enforcement statistics show our country does a poor job of uniformly and indiscriminately sanction-ing its citizens, universities would do well to provide a better example for the rest of the country.
University Housing is just one segment of the Univer-sity that has the power to provide equal rights to all members of its University. If Housing chooses to main-tain its hypocritical policies, it should at least communi-cate to the student body the rationale behind the rules. If there is no rationale other than maintaining tradition, it is high time these rules change.

New Mexican restaurants compete for local businessThe restaurant, which will replace El Rodeo, offers a new vibe and menu.
Frances Ellis Correspondent
El Rodeo resided on Hillsbor-ough Street, feeding students and locals traditional Mexican food for 18 years. But now it’s gone. Chile Bomba, a new ven-ture from the Ibarra restaurant group, is replacing it.
“We wanted a fun, energetic and cool atmosphere that peo-ple can have a great time in,” Charlie Ibarra, from the Ibarra restaurant family, said. “It’ll be more liberal than before. N.C. State is right across the street and we wanted a livelier, more social atmosphere for the col-lege crowd a place where peo-ple can create memories.”
The menu will be similar, but dotted with new dishes in-spired by Jibarra, an affiliate restaurant. Jalapeño hushpup-pies, beer-battered fish tacos and steak burritos are all a few of the new offerings.
One noted appetizer was the carne asada fries fries loaded with steak, cheese,
pico de gallo, black beans and chives. Ibarra also mentioned that the Mama’s Tinga a chipo-tle-marinated chicken is based upon his mother’s recipe. The menu will also feature taco and burrito baskets.
A few of the old menu items will no longer be there, but if the ingredients are available, special requests for old favor-ites may be accommodated.
In addition to the overhaul in the menu, there will also be an expanded selection of drinks. Nine different types of margar-itas and flavored vodka pitchers will be available. Those watch-ing calories can sip on a skinny margarita, while others feeling adventurous can try the Co-rona Remix an upside-down coronita placed in a frozen or on-th-rocks margarita. Ibarra called it the “have a good time” drink.
Mexican and American culture are fused together in a playful mix of new and old to revamp the interior. Pop art coexists playfully with vintage pieces. Various colorful mu-rals, ranging from Luchadores (or Mexican wrestlers) to a Star Trek parody of a graphic from a traditional Mexican bingo
game, now cover the expan-sive brick wall. Records that Ibarra found in second hand music shops dot the wall on the opposite side of the restau-rant and bright paper mache lanterns in the shape of stars f loat above the tables. The space itself is more open and airy than the previous layout. Indie music from both Mexico and the U.S. will be played, ac-cording to Ibarra.
Ilse Gonzalez, a junior in nutrition science, said she’s excited about working at Chile Bomba.
“The food is Tex-Mex with a twist, and it has a college atmosphere that wasn’t pres-ent in El Rodeo. I could defi-nitely see it becoming a stu-dent hangout because of the fun vibe and proximity to campus. I personally plan on checking it out when I’m not working.”
With a staff consisting of mainly students, and plans to participate in all Hillsborough Hikes, Ibarra said he hopes Chile Bomba will become a tra-dition on Hillsborough Street. The restaurant opens Aug. 23 and a grand opening is in the planning stage.

Students and faculty no lon-ger have to walk to Cameron Village or Glenwood South to get a quick fix for a Tex-Mex burrito, with a new branch of Chipotle Mexican Grill open-ing on Hillsborough Street. The new restaurant, accord-ing to the Executive Director of the Hillsborough Street Community Services Corpo-ration Jeff Murison, will bring new traffic to the refurbished street.
“[Chipot le] introduces Hillsborough [Street] as a destination for a food, night
life and recreation to the new and returning students to let them know that Hillsborough Street is a focal point of Wolf-pack Pride and school spirit,” Murison said.
Opening in the for-mer GoPak Bazaar loca-tion, Chipo-tle will face off in front of Mexican res-taurant Chile Bomba, for-merly El Ro-deo.
Murison, w h o h a s been with the Hillsborough Street Community Services Corporation since May 2010, has been working with inves-tors and corporations to re-build business on the street. He
said bringing in a well-known company like Chipotle will bring attention to the street.
“When you think about where to go to celebrate before,
during or af-ter a sport-i n g e v e n t you think of Hillsborough St ree t a nd when you’re looking for a place to take your parents or f r i e nd s from out of town, Hills-borough will be the most appealing option for a

College of Natural Resources, said Chipotle will bring in healthy competition to the lo-cal business scene.
“Chipotle and [former] El Rodeo, a popular Mexican
restaurant, will help out both and surrounding businesses and the community because competition is always good.”
Murison said he hopes the two establishments work to-gether to do a Cinco de Mayo event to cap off the academic year next May.
“I got here in May of 2010 and
by September the construction [of Hillsborough Street] was completed—since then I have noticed a great increase of foot traffic and reports say that the 2010 school year was pretty successful but predictions for the 2011 year are even greater,” Murison said.
Sruthi Mohan, sophomore

“I think [Chipotle] will defi-nitely help to liven up Hillsbor-ough and be an excellent exam-ple of all the new renovations to come,” Mohan said.

Orientation may present tailgating and spray painting in the Free Expression Tun-nel as quintessential campus experiences not to miss—but some of these experi-ences, like study abroad, may not occur between the boundaries of Hillsborough Street and Western Boulevard.
Lucero Galvan, a ju-nior in biology, spent the summer in Thailand, working with the Univer-sity’s anthropology de-partment and a partner university in Thailand. Galvan worked on an ar-chaeological dig, study-ing human remains and artifacts found at the site.
When not on the dig, Galvan and her class-mates went sightseeing in Thailand.
“[For one trip] we went to the tiger temple and petted tigers that had been rescued from the wild,” Galvan said. “We had to wear simple colors so we wouldn’t attract the tigers.”
According to Galvan, local Thai monks
took care of the tigers and tamed them, making sure they didn’t harm any visitors. However, Galvan said she remembers one point where, despite the precautions, a ti-ger almost attacked a visitor of the temple.
“All of a sudden the tiger started charg-ing someone and the monk yelled some-thing out, and the tiger just stopped and sat down,” Galvan said.
In the end, Galvan learned about both archaeology and the Thai culture.
“[The local people] were really nice, even though we were foreigners,” Galvan said.
Jaimee Decatur, a junior in Japanese lan-guage and culture, returned from spend-
ing a year abroad in Ja-pan, at Kwansei Gakuin University near Osaka. Throughout her stay, she lived with a local Japa-nese family, allowing her to use Japanese daily and immerse herself fully in the culture.
Though she experi-enced the conf licts of the language barrier and the surprises of living immersed in a different culture, one of things that stood out to her the most
was her experience in the Kwansei Gakuin University clubs.
“I joined the aikido and ikebana club,” Decatur said.
Aikido is a Japanese martial art style and
is ikebana a traditional flower arranging art.
“The part that I learned the most Japa-nese in was aikido…the different ways you talked to people [while practicing and competing] really stood out there.”
Decatur said the most surprising aspect of her trip to Japan was its similarity to what she knew through pop culture.
“It actually is like manga (Japanese com-ics)—the streets really are that narrow, the cats really do cry like that.”
After long periods in a foreign country, the reverse culture shock of returning home can be difficult, but Decatur is set-tling back into the University community. However, she brought back a few things from her time abroad.
“[I brought back] the little things I’ve grown accustomed to [while living in Ja-pan],” Decatur said. “Like healthy eating and aesthetically pleasing things. I’d like to do something with aikido, to show people how awesome it is.”
According to Decatur, reverse culture shock makes one think about their own lifestyle and values. Like many things new students encounter in when first arriving at the University, study abroad makes stu-dents refine and define themselves, Deca-tur said.

“Honestly, it is a bit disappointing,” Cain said. “13 corners and 14 shots. We couldn’t really find the back of the net today. But we definitely battled and that’s what mattered. We got the win and, hey, we’ll take a win any way we can.”
Like Springthorpe said, it only takes one. That one came from senior defend-er Alex Berger in the 88th minute. The icing on the cake - it was her first goal ever in her four years of playing for the Wolfpack. After Cain was taken down in the box with a dangerous tackle from behind, team captain Berger stepped up to the penalty spot for redemption. Berger slotted the ball into the net, just barely out of reach from the Navy keeper. The joy in Berger’s face was still present after the game.
“I just thank God that I hit it just hard enough,” Berger said. “The keeper made an amazing attempt at it. I’m so happy it was my first goal.”
After the game, Springthorpe mentioned how he looks to Proper and freshman de-fender Shelli Spamer to be the creative di-rectors in deadball situations.
“[Spamer] and Morgan Proper split the time serving corners,” Springthorpe said. “Shellie has a great service. She can kick it a long way and with great accuracy. As long as she stays healthy and things work out, then she’ll continue to take a lot of those for us.”
Springthorpe left the field with a focus on
what he wants his team to work on before their next home match against Old Domin-ion on Friday.
“We need to work on our finishing,” Springthorpe said. “14 shots and 13 corner kicks, you don’t see too many teams that get that many corner kicks and nothing out of it. That’s a credit to Navy; they were very good in the air. We’ll have to work a bit more on our finishing and our set pieces. That will be our focus this week and going into the future.”

With the lights on this young squad, some of the players took the opportunity to prove to Bunn and the rest of the fans what they’re made of. Rachel Buckley, a freshman from He-
bron, Texas, notched 10 kills for the match.
“Rachel Buckley did a nice job on the right side,” Bunn said. “Laura Blab did a good job hitting on the outside serving and was awesome first leg of defense,” Bunn said.
“I say we’re growing and get-ting better,” Buckley said. “We played hard, but we have to
work on ball control. It’s pretty nerve wrecking, but it was a lot of fun to finally be in the gym with a jersey playing with your team.”
Alston Kerns, a local product from Apex who came into the program as the ESPN No.9 high school player in 2010 and an Under Armour All-American, proved herself on the defensive
side of the ball with 19 digs in the match. Even after receiving numerous accolades coming into her collegiate career, Kerns still got a little nervous during her first game under the lights.
“It’s really nerve wrecking, but I think we overcame it pretty well,” Kerns said. “We got used to the fans and every-thing. I think we’ll definitely
get used to it. It will get us pumped up. “
With all the new faces com-ing into the mix, senior Mar-garet Salata is ready to take on the responsibility of taking the team under her wing. She proved she could lead by exam-ple by posting 12 kills during the challenge.
“Coach Bunn has looked to
all of the seniors to go into a leadership role,” Salata said. “I take it in stride. I’m trying to set a good example for the girls on and off the court; helping them, letting them know I’m here for questions, and trying to be a mentor for them in any way that I can.”

Redshirt sophomore forward Meagan Proper fights for possesion with a Navy defender in the game at Dail Soccer Stadium Aug. 21, 2011. Proper played 55 minutes in the 1-0 Wolfpack victory.
sights and soundsSoccer vS. uncgTaunts, jeers, and heckles are not what I expected from a women’s soccer game, but that’s exactly what took place during a rowdy women’s game Sunday afternoon. Between the Midshipmen defense and the Wolfpack fans, there wasn’t a silent moment. The students heckled the goalkeeper the entire second half. Chants began ringing out and quickly escalated. The most agitating and noticeable, “LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT”, shouts rang out from behind goal with each step the goalkeeper took. The noise was relentless and continued with “WOLF…PACK “ cheers in the final two minutes of Sunday’s game in celebration of a successful penalty kick, which proved to be the game-winning goal.

Wolfpack women’s soccer opens season with 1-0 victories over VCU and Navy.
Josh Hyatt & Sean FairholmSports Editor & Deputy Sports Editor
The black jerseys did the trick. For the first and sec-ond time in school history, the wom-en’s soccer team wore black kits while also defeating the Rams a nd t he Midship-men, 1-0, on Friday and Sunday, re-spectively, at Dail Soccer Stadium.
Although both games only had one goal, the gameplay and means of scoring were quite different in comparison. According to Coach Steve Springthor-pe, however, a goal is a goal and a win is a win.
“All it takes is one goal and a shutout,” Springthor-pe said, “and you can win.”
The lone goal from the
Friday game against Virginia Commonwealth came in min-ute 27 from senior forward Tanya Cain. Cain drilled in a direct shot to the left of the goal from the middle of the penalty box, after a cross from redshirt sophomore Meagan Proper was mishandled by the Ram defense, after being deliv-ered from the right corner of the pitch. Cain described the events as a “broken play.”
“We never stop,” Cain said. “At f i rst I think we both thought we were offside, but nothing was ca l led. She [Proper] just kept go-ing, so we kept on play-
ing. Julia [Sandridge] was able to get the ball into [Megan] Proper, and she was the one who crossed it over.”
After Cain’s blast into the net, not much was seen from the Wolfpack’s offense. The team sat back on their haunch-es and took an offensive on-slaught from the Rams for the rest of match, but no one was able to beat senior goalkeeper Kim Kern. Springthorpe was pleased with the team’s per-formance in their first regular
season game of the year.“We’re going to take a lot
from it,” Springthorpe said. “We’re going to watch film, we’re going to see where we broke down, we’re going to see where we are at defensively and we’ll check the fitness level of our team. We’ve got three great
games coming up, and maybe we [will] just keep on rolling.”
And roll, they did. In their second game of the weekend, the Pack came out with loads of conf idence against the Midshipmen. In an absolute offensive onslaught, NCSU kept the ball on the Navy side
of the field for the majority of the match. With a whopping 13 shots and 14 corners, it’s amaz-ing to consider that no goals resulted from them. Cain was not impressed with the Pack’s

Sweezy to miss six weeks Senior captain undergoes surgery for fractured foot.
Staff ReportWith less than wo weeks
remaining until the open-ing weekend of football, N.C. State received word that defensive tackle J.R. Sweezy will miss the next six weeks with a fractured foot. According to Anna-belle Myers, the assistant athletics director for NCSU media relations, coaches and players are not avail-able to discuss details of the injury.
The redshirt senior out of Mooresville was expected to be a leading contributor for the defensive front. With 13 tackles for a loss and six sacks, Sweezy received an honorable mention for the All-ACC team last season. If the initial timetable for his return holds true, Sweezy may return for the ACC home opener versus Geor-gia Tech on October 1.

Women’s volleyball hosts Wolfpack Challenge at Reynolds.
Jeniece JamisonSenior Staff Writer
The new members of the Pack got their first chance to play under the lights and fanfare at historic Reynolds Coliseum during the team’s inter-squad scrimmage, the Wolfpack Challenge. Freshman Ni-cole Glass led the team with 14 kills for the match.
T h e R e d team defeat-ed the White team in four straight matches by the score of 25-16, 25-13, 25-23 and 25-16. Several of the play-ers did change teams during the match while coaches rear-ranged lineups to find team chemistry.
The match began with plenty of miscues and errors, as six service errors occurred in the first set. According to coach Bryan Bunn, the early mistakes occurred because of typical freshman pregame jitters that dominated play until later in the match.
“They looked good,” Bunn said. “Some of the young play-ers did a lot of good things, but they still have a lot to learn,”
Bunn sa id. “That’s why we do these scrimmages, so we can fig-ure out what they need to work on in game situ-ations. Part of it is nerves when t hey are out there playing un-
der the lights. When they start relaxing a little bit, that’s when their natural play comes out.”
