Hillsborough Street business owners left wonderingAnother large-scale building project will further change the street’s aesthetics.
John WallNews Editor
The University left Hillsborough Street business owners in the dark concerning plans for a hotel and retail space to replace their shops.
The University owns land between Enterprise Street a n d M a i d e n Lane, a block containing busi-nesses like Sad-lack’s Heroes and the Bell Tower Mart, and it ac-cepted a proposal from developer Bernstein Companies to do what it wants with all 1.38 acres of land us-ing the endowment fund.
Developers decided a hotel and re-tail space would be the best fit for the land, according to Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance Charles Leffler. The University will have no part in the actual development of the property.
“It’s not our desire to be the develop-er. We are simply becoming the vehicle to do that through the University’s en-dowment fund,” Leffler said.
Block tenant Sadlack’s first opened its doors in 1972. Actor and comedian Zach Galifianakis, who went to N.C. State for a stint, has been know to visit the bar and eatery when in town.
Rose Schwetz, who bought the res-taurant in 1984 and has since sold the land to the University, said she has no idea when she will have to close the
doors.“We know nothing,” Schwetz said.
“Nobody [on the block] seems to know anything. We ought to hear something soon.”
Businesses on the block, since they sit on University-owned land, are ten-ants and pay rent to the endowment fund.
Administrators have not decided whether to lease the land or sell it out-right to developers. Leffler said it will depend on how the two alternatives
affect the return on investment.

with Schwetz throughout the process of acquiring the restaurant land. He said she was not a holdout when it came to selling.
“The goal is not to have any of those particular [businesses] go away – like Sadlack’s. Whether it fits into what happens on that block in the future is something we’ll have to see,” Lef-fler said. “What [Schwetz] decides to do long-term is something she will have to sort out as options become clearer.”
But Sadlack’s is not the only busi-ness in danger. Schoolkids Records has been on Hillsborough Street for 38 years and has moved four times.
“We knew that there was a plan in place, but we have asked for the plan and no one has shown us,” Ric Cul-ross, Schoolkids Records owner, said.
Abie Harris, who was the Univer-
sity’s architect for 32 years through 1999, works at Roundabout Art Col-lective located on the block. He also worked in the College of Design during his tenure. He was creating artwork in the gallery Wednesday afternoon.
One of his pieces depicting an ideal college courtyard hung on the wall of the art collective. He said he welcomed the change a renovation of the block would bring.
“It’s a great idea. It will improve Hillsborough Street, and certainly the University is committed to that. It will be a great project,” Harris said.
The goal of acquiring and accept-ing proposals for property develop-ment was not only to make a profitable business decision, but also to continue the facelift Hillsborough Street has ex-perienced over the past couple years, according to Leffler.
“We have a long-standing interest and support of helping Hillsborough Street rejuvenate itself and become a more viable business district,” Leffler said. “The goal is to create the demand and to create a desire for the destina-tion that has other businesses wanting to be on the street.”
The development is the latest in a multimillion dollar series of chang-es to Hillsborough Street, the most recent of which occurred between Concord Street and Friendly Street, where businesses like The Brewery were destroyed to make room for a new parking deck, apartments and retail stores. Prior to that, in 2009, the city renovated the entire street by widening it, building a median and roundabouts.

Sadlack’s, a bar located on Hillsborough Street, is one of the buildings that will be torn down to make room for a new hotel. “I don’t feel like [tearing it down] is great for the students. This is a great place to come after school, grab a beer, then walk home. And I can bring my dog,” Criner said.

Justin RoseDeputy News Editor
The N.C. State Women’s Center, located in Talley Student Center, will have new leadership August 31 in the form of Ashley Simons-Rudolph, an NCSU alumna and a graduate of the psychology and women’s and gender studies de-partments.
Simons-Rudolph said her goals for the semester are primarily outreach-oriented.
She went on to say campus ad-vocacy efforts will include pro-grams for The Movement: Ending Interpersonal Violence, train-ing more students, faculty and staff advocates for the Relation-
ship and Sexual Violence Phone line, and presenting the Chocolate Festival in September, which supports breast cancer education and the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund.
“I have been passionate about equality ever since I can remember,” Simons-Rudolph said. “And I have worked on a variety of equality related projects ranging from assisting chil-dren to violent homes, helping moth-ers overcome substance use addictions and researching men’s role in slowing the HIV epidemic in Africa.”
Rudolph-Simons got to speak with students most of them in women and gender studies, which she teach-es through distance education at an open house in Talley Wednesday evening.
Jennifer Castillo, who has served as assistant director for programs since June 2010, had the chance to meet Simons-Rudolph prior to the open house and described her as “incred-ibly astute, energetic and ambitious.”
“She will be an incredible leader for our team and a tremendous asset to NCSU overall,” Castillo said. “I also know she’ll bring a stronger research background and international expe-rience which will be genuine assets.”
Castillo said teamwork will be es-sential this semester amongst all the changes in personnel and space. The center will move to Harrelson this De-cember because of Talley renovations.
Also new to the center is Abigail Conley, a doctoral student in the Counselor Education Program
Conley started as a volunteer last spring as a counselor working as an advocate for the Relationship and Sexual Violence Phone line, a crisis hotline that let’s victims of interper-sonal violence call in for assistance or counseling.

‘Booze it and Lose it’ aims to reduce drunken drivingAnnual campaign scheduled to last through Labor Day.
Joshua ChappellSenior Staff Writer
The North Carolina Department of Transportation has ratcheted up po-lice presence in an effort to get N.C. residents — including N.C. State stu-dents — to seriously reconsider driv-ing under the influence of alcohol. The initiative kicked off August 19 as part of the Governor’s Highway Safety Program, and is scheduled to last until September 5.
The annual campaign, cal led “Booze it and Lose it,” increases the frequency of driving-while-impaired checkpoints and patrols by state and local law enforcement officers in an attempt to “remove impaired drivers from the roads,” according to a DOT release.
Gene Conti, NCDOT secretary, said the intent of the program is to increase awareness of re-sponsible driv-ing.
“Celebrating responsibly is simple,” Con-ti sa id. “Plan ahead and al-ways designate a sober driver.”
According to DOT, there were 500 alcohol-related crashes in the state during last year’s campaign. Those crashes resulted in 20 fatalities and 395 injuries.
Campus police is also taking part in the effort, according to Campus Police Patrol Division Commander Jon Barnwell.
“[University] police co-sponsor checkpoints with the Raleigh Police Department and support DWI check-points run by the Sheriff ’s Depart-ment,” Barnwell said.
Barnwell said N.C. State students are generally responsible when it comes to drunken driving, but they are not perfect.
“Most of our students are respon-sible and do the right thing by either not drinking, not drinking in excess or coordinating a designated driver or alternate form of transportation,” Barnwell said. “Unfortunately, almost every year without fail we lose one of our students in an alcohol-related in-cident, with the bulk of those involv-ing drinking and driving.”
Barnwell said during the last aca-demic year, campus police arrested 45 students for driving while intoxicated. This statistic does not include arrests from other jurisdictions.
According to Barnwell, campus po-lice co-sponsored a DWI checkpoint on Gorman Street on the night of August 19.
Emily Robinson, a sophomore in environmental engineering, drove through one of the checkpoints and said she thinks the checkpoint itself was effective, but the number of po-lice officers might have been excessive.
“The checkpoint was intense,” Rob-inson said. “I’ve never seen more cops in one place in my entire life. I think they could have s topped more drunken driving if they were in more around Raleigh, not just on one road. But overall,
I think it did work.”Barnwell said he thinks the pro-
gram is effective during the dates of the program but does not necessar-ily do enough to address the greater problem.
“Through the promotion of the pro-gram prior to the target dates, I think it does have an influence on people to think twice before drinking and driv-ing,” Barnwell said. “In the long run, I think it only puts a small dent in a fairly larger problem.”
Robinson also said the program was

Conley. “I really enjoy the at-mosphere here.”
In addition to advocacy, Conley said she wants to fo-cus on raising awareness this semester and recruiting more volunteers and, in particular, graduate students.
“We like to think of our-selves as a center wheel for rape and sexual assault survivors,” Conley said.
Whittley Montgomery, a sophomore in First Year Col-lege, works at the Center and said she thinks it’s a great way to inform individuals about is-sues facing women today.
“The biggest problem that I see a lot with our facility is that too many people aren’t famil-iar with where we are, what we do and why we do it,” Mont-
gomery said. “Even though it’s called the Women’s Center, men are always welcome!”
Advertising and advocacy therefore should be a main focus this semester to increase program attendance, she add-ed.
The office’s fairly casual at-mosphere helps invite students in, according to Montgomery, but she said she thinks some confusion should sti l l be cleared up.
“There’s the common mis-conception that you only need to come there if you’ve been raped or assaulted, which is not true,” Montgomery said. “We have many programs, like the Chocolate Festival, that aren’t rape/assault related.”
In terms of different ac-tion to take besides advocacy, Montgomery said she hopes to be more directly involved in women’s shelters in Raleigh.
effective as it has had an im-portant effect on her personal drinking habits.
“I was too terrified to even have a sip of alcohol [before driving], and I think a lot of people felt the same way,” Robinson said. “There was too much risk.
“As much as we all say we’ll be OK to have one beer and drive, I see it can definitely get me arrested,” Robinson said. “That’s a risk I’m not willing to take.”
Robinson went on to say the program’s most effective result will be achieved by setting ex-amples.
“Even though this program will probably hurt a lot of peo-ple with jail and suspension
from school and all the conse-quences that follow, I believe that it will make people stop and think before they pick up their keys to drive after a few drinks,” Robinson said.
According to Barnwell, this program is just one way that campus police seeks to combat drunken driving and ensure responsible decision-making.
“[Campus police] takes ev-ery opportunity to engage our students in conversations about responsible decision-making and how certain behaviors and decisions can impact students for the rest of their lives,” Barn-well said. “Hopefully, our edu-cation outside the classroom is allowing our student body to be knowledgeable of the impact of risky behaviors.”

Freshmen fifteen woes are avoidableBuffet-style dining halls are not the only responsible factors behind the freshman fifteen.
Nishanth CoontoorCorrespondent
Freshmen are in for good news: the weight gain due to the notorious freshman fifteen during a student’s first year at college may perhaps be a myth.
“The freshman fifteen is a concept or an idea in which people believe freshmen put on an additional fif-teen pounds,” Dr. Keith Harris, as-
sistant professor at the Department of Food,
Bioprocessing and Nutrition Scienc-es, said. “I followed this up by read-ing close to ten studies. They say the weight gain is somewhere between three to seven pounds only.”
Frightening as it sounds, the term ‘freshman fifteen’ is not an accurate description of the dreaded weight gain most freshmen experience. “The term is still in use maybe be-cause ‘freshman five’ does not sound as interesting as ‘freshman fifteen,’” Harris said.
Nevertheless, weight gain all too easily finds its way into the lives of many freshmen, much to their dis-
may at the end of the semester.
“There
are two common causes for this weight gain: decreased physical activ-ity and an increased alcohol intake,” Harris added. Alcohol has the same amount of calories as fat—seven calories per gram. Moreover, because of the liquid form, your body is less satisfied by it, and so doesn’t realize the quantity consumed.”
A sudden change in the student’s environment upon entering the col-lege atmosphere is a factor as well.
“Not everyone has the skill sets to cook for themselves when they are away from home attending college,” Dr. Suzie Goodell, assistant professor of food, bioprocessing and nutrition, said. “When they go out to eat, it’s natural for them to consume large
calories. Socialization is another rea-son for this weight gain. When in a social setting, everyone tends to over eat. Stress is another factor.”
In this case, men are hit the hard-est. Relatively speaking, men tend to put on more weight than women. “While women take cues from their friends on diets, men rarely do,” Har-ris said.
In the end it all comes down to making smarter choices.
“If you are to choose between a salad or a sandwich, I would recom-mend taking some time off to learn what goes into those foods before eat-ing,” Goodell said. “Don’t just grab and go.”

Stock market proves to be college-student-friendlyStudent investors on campus prove the stock market is not as complicated as it seems.
Frances EllisCorrespondent
The stock market is an inter-active symbol of the financial world. Every day, investors and traders buy and sell stock ownership shares in a compa-ny with the intent of making money.
“Firms need to raise capi-tal to finance their activities, and a common method is to sell shares to the public,” Dr. Stephen Margolis, professor of economics, said. “These shares go into a market—[for exam-ple,] the stock market— where they can then be bought and sold, or traded. What makes a stock valuable is that the owner of the stock can get proceeds of some value —typically through dividends, or in selling the stock to someone else.”
On campus, student inves-tors come from all types of backgrounds. Ian Hill, junior in polymer and color chemis-try, attributed his interest in investing to his grandmother.
“She was raised during the
Great Depression, and I fond-ly remember her teaching me about budgeting and investing money,” Hill said. “I opened a mutual fund account with Ed-ward Jones my junior year in high school with her guidance. I later opened an online trading account with Scottrade as well. I wanted to learn more about f inance and have poten-tially higher yielding in-vestments.”
Hill mostly trades and in-vests in large corporations, local compa-nies and com-panies of with high product recogni-t ion . Cu r-rently, he is invested in several mu-tual funds, as well as Bank of America (BAC), Ther-mo Fisher (TMO), Google (GOOG), Hatteras Financial (HTS), Krispy Kreme Dough-nuts (KKD), Celgene (CELG) and Ford (F).
He is still developing his strategy but strives to fill his portfolio with 25 percent long-
term investments (equities held for at least 5 years), 25 percent high dividend stocks (greater than 4 percent), 40 percent companies with products that he uses often and 10 percent speculative equities.
Hill acknowledged this past summer has not been a good time period for making money
off world and national mar-kets . How-ever, he has lea r ned to prioritize his portfolio and reinforce stocks with long-term potential due to the recent decl ines in markets.
“Hard fi-nancial times for compa-nies can be
just as beneficial to consum-ers as good financial times,” Hill said. “In times of high economic growth, compa-nies spend more money on research and development… Conversely, in times of low economic growth, companies concentrate on products that … improve efficiency in their
business practices.” The effect a volatile stock
market has on the economy ap-plies to the University as well.
“N.C. State has an endow-ment, but it only pays for a small share,” Margolis said. “The instability in the market can negatively affect donors, which in turn affects dona-tions that may have been made otherwise. When something catastrophic happens to the financial markets, the impact trickles down.”
To students who may be in-terested in investing, Margo-lis recommends only doing so with expendable money.
“It’s a good idea early on to find out what it’s like to work with a brokerage,” Margolis
said. “Also, if you only save in a savings account at a bank, than your interest rates will likely max out at 5%. Over the long haul, stocks pay around 10%. That doesn’t mean you should have everything in stocks, as
they are a risky endeavor, but to have part of your wealth in equities is a reasonably good thing to do.”

companies can be
just as beneficial
to consumers
as good

Respecting the PackFree expression and
freedom of speech are not the same thing. In
America, no one has a right to total free-expression. If we did we wouldn’t need the concepts of libel and slan-
der; we would have no laws aga i nst i n-citement to riot and hate-
speech. Freedom of speech is a right to express ideas without censorship from government. But freedom of speech protects no citi-zen from rebuttal. In other words, freedom of speech does not protect “free expres-sion” because free expression does not require you to iden-tify yourself. Free-expression does not even require that you stand by and represent your ideas. That’s why free expression is almost always done unseen, in the shadows.
The KKK wore hoods to hide their faces, and they only rode out at night. So understand that pure free expression is used as a cover for the dark tunnel that im-mature citizens live in and prefer. Free-expression, you see, allows people to hide and not have their claims challenged.
Freedom of speech is a right guaranteed by the U.S. Con-stitution. As with all other constitutional rights, then, freedom of speech is an American privilege and re-sponsibility. So yes citizens, use your freedom-of speech.
Identify yourselves and then speak so that other citizens may hear your point, your reasoning and then make judgments about the valid-ity of your claims. In doing so, your fellow citizens may choose to use their freedom of speech to challenge your ideas.
The mistake that Ameri-cans have been making lately is this one. Too many have been saying that since Americans have the right to free expression, there is nothing to be done. That’s why we sometimes end up with the odd situation that when someone makes ugly racial, anti-gay and lesbian, anti-some-group statements, people act as if there is noth-ing to be done. Lately, we have been acting as if we think that that free expres-sion means that we have to shut up in the face of some-one else’s ugly use of freedom of speech. No we don’t. No one has to or should embrace the hate.
All of us have a right to freedom of speech. I am hap-py to report that Americans are beginning to realize that. It was freedom of speech at work in NYC on the first day that gays and lesbians could be legally married in that state. Knowing anti-gay and lesbian protestors would be there, people, some strangers to each other, some straight, showed up with colorful um-brellas. With those umbrel-las open they took positions
that blocked the view of the protesters from those couples who, in love, had showed up and lined up to get married. That was actual freedom of speech.
At the Respect the Pack, students, faculty and staff used our freedom of speech to say that we value each and every student on this cam-pus. We used our freedom of speech to say that when someone writes graffiti of group animosity that does not reflect the opinion of the whole campus.
We recognize, you see, that the hate of a group expressed in graffiti is really an attack on students of all racial and religious stripes because it shows that there is intoler-ance and hate on our campus. Who wants to live in a place like that? How can a person go home and proclaim their pride in being a student at a place that is hateful?
When you recognize and understand that one person’s freedom of speech does not negate other Americans’ freedom of speech that tells you that there is something to be done. We can raise our voices in opposition. Let’s not forget that when we are silent, resisting to use our freedom of speech, we allow ugly speech to rule the day.

Up until 2008, the Free Expression Tunnel was a safe-haven for students’ opinions and protests; however, ever since the threatening hate speech regarding President Obama was painted onto its walls in 2008, the Uni-versity saw the need to fix the issue of offending others by free expression in the tunnel.
The harder the Univer-sity, students or campus organizations, attempt to fix the problem the worse the problem becomes. The tunnel should be returned to its original
purpose of being a place for students to express themselves in a wild art form.
The issues around the tunnel always arise when a racial slur is painted in the tunnel, but what about all the other of-fensive language and in-sults put in the tunnel? If the University raises the alarm over one insult they should do it for all of them; unless they sim-ply allow the students to do what the tunnel’s sign says- express themselves.
The plea for discre-tion on the sign before
entering the tunnel is all the University should do when it comes to dis-couraging hate speech, allow students to make their own decisions about what they wish to paint in the tunnel.
The more upset stu-dents and faculty get about the opinions ex-pressed in the Free Ex-pression Tunnel, the more this controversy will increase. The views expressed in the tunnel should not be taken as anything other than what it is—free expression.
Express yourself
“We paint. We paint the Free expression tunnel. We paint near the Free Expression tunnel. We paint on the trees. We paint the names of our organizations, ourselves, our friends and lovers. We paint our art, good and bad. We pait our opinions and our knowledge. And then someone comes along and paints right over it.”
Jim mahaffee, 1989 agromeck
The free expression Tunnel Timeline:• the 1968 photo is one of the first photos of the tunnel being
painted, in protest of the Vietnam War.
• In the first 2010 photo, the tunnel is painted in response to a racial slur found offensive in the tunnel.
• the second 2010 photo was published in the Brick, a publication handed out at New student Orientation, but was pulled and censored for the offensive content.
• the 2011 photo is of the respect the pack event, in response to the photo published in the Brick, to encourage students to think about what they paint in the tunnel.

out perfectly for the two orga-nizations involved, students have somewhat varied opinions on the subject. Matthew Dan-iels, a junior in biological engi-neering, who is also a starter for the club rugby team, had a dif-ferent personal and collective reaction to the whole situation.
“It doesn’t affect me so much personally,” Daniels said, “But from the club’s point of view, if that means losing practice time and game time on what is the best facility available, I would be disappointed.”
Even though Daniels feels inconvenience by the addi-tional distance to Method Road Fields, he would be perfectly fine if the conditions were simi-
lar to the ones experienced at the Miller Fields.
“If the Method Road facilities were as good, nobody would have a problem getting there,” Daniels said. “It just has to be worth the walk.”
David Can-cio, a junior in Spanish language and literature and a passionate soccer player, highlighted points that would per-haps be true for most stu-dents.
“[A] longer commute to the Method Road Fields to play would deteriorate my quality of play and affect the way I play,” Cancio said.
Despite the hassle, Cancio was at least a little enthusiastic about the possibility of playing on completely new fields.
“I am excited to play on nicer fields,” Cancio said. “Playing on grass, not dirt, is so much
better.” Cancio
doesn’t think the move will affect intra-mura l par-ticipation.
“People s h o u l d b e prepared to t rave l t hat distance to play intramu-rals,” Cancio
said. “It shows how passionate they are.

es are no exception to this. Their season lasts from August to April, so extra motivation is necessary at times during the season to keep their skills up and to keep them performing at their best. But beyond the motivation the girls receive from their outstanding coaches and the motiva-tion they find in having to perform in front of thou-sands of fans at Carter-Finley Stadium and the RBC Center, Roediger said the girls do an amazing job motivating each other. Each season the team votes on 12 positions that create their leadership team. Three of the leadership positions are held by senior captains Tay-la Cunningham, Katie Bea-
sley and by junior co-captain Hannah Stephens.
Being part of the dance team goes beyond the opportunity to dance at sporting events throughout the year. The dance team also affords the women t he opportunity to give back. T h i s p a s t Saturday, for example, the dance team partnered with the Ma-rine Corps to raise money solely for the Marine Corps Ball through a hot dog sale and car wash. Throughout the year the dance team will continue to give back to the community through nursing home tours and clin-ics for the Boys & Girls Club.
The dance team is thankful to have wonderful sponsors
that continue to support them and hopes to keep gaining new sponsors that will further sup-port their program. As well as thanking their sponsors, the coaching staff and dancers alike cannot stress how much
they appreci-ate the con-tinued sup-port of school entities that h e l p k e e p their program goi ng a nd successful.
The team is excited for fa l l tryouts nex t week . T h e y a r e

is. He’s a quarterback like Wisconsin has never re-ally had.”
However, not every foot-ball fan at State will be root-ing for Wilson to succeed in the Big Ten this fall. Jen-ine Lection, a sophomore in Animal Sciences, grew up in a Penn State household after both of her parents graduated from there. With recent Big Ten realignment forming two separate di-visions, Leader division members Penn State and Wisconsin will now play each other every season.
“I’m not going to be happy if he is playing well,” Lec-tion said. “Wisconsin is playing Penn State in November and it’s their last game. Of all places, he had to go to a school where he would play Penn State.”
In addition to cheering on the boys from Happy Valley, Lec-tion also enjoys Saturday after-noons at Carter-Finley. Despite Wilson’s absence in the ACC and unwelcome presence in the Big Ten, she said support-ing Coach O’Brien’s decision to move on to Mike Glennon is a no-brainer.
“I think [Wilson] should’ve made his choice earlier than he did,” Lection said. “Since he couldn’t decide [on playing professional baseball or return-
ing to school], I think it’s good we’ve moved on to our quar-terback who actually wants to support us.”
Whether fans’ eyes are on Glennon or Wilson, the story of the Badger and the Wolf has produced mixed feelings. As quickly as a three-year starter can change major programs, the actual playing of football games can make emo-tions change in a heartbeat.
From Raleigh to Madison, we’ll both be chasing our tails until September arrives.

Athletes, coaches paint Free Expression TunnelA large number of student athletes from various varsity teams and their coaches met at the Free Expression Tunnel on Wed. afternoon to make their mark on the walls and to interact with bypassing students. The students leaving their classes or heading to their residence halls got an opportunity to meet many varsity sports coaches that they normally would not have had the opportunity to interact with, including: Jon Choboy (men’s tennis), Kelly Findley (men’s soccer), Mark Gottfried (men’s basketball), Kellie Harper (women’s basketball), and Athletics Director Deborah Yow made an appearance, as well. Gottfried noted that it was the first time he had ever been in the tunnel.

From Raleigh to Madison: fans torn between teams
intramural
University Athletics Department now controls the upper intramural field.
Rishav DeyCorrespondent
The upper portion of the Miller Fields, which has previously been used for in-tramural sports, is now un-der the control of the N.C. State University Athletics Department. Club and intramural team sports, which had previously been hosted at the upper Miller Field, will now be held at the fields located on Method Road.
Ray Brincefield, the Assis-tant Athletics Director for facilities, said the IM fields had changed hands.
“Athletics has indeed taken over the upper IM fields,” Brincefield said. “A landswap agreement has taken place under which University Recreation gets the upper Method Road fields whereas the Athletics Department takes charge of the upper IM fields .”
Brincefield also noted that the swap was perfect for both the Athletics De-partment and University Recreation.
“It benefits both parties,” Brincefield said. “Univer-sity Recreation had already acquired the lower Method
Road f ields and needed more space and the athletic building was very close to the upper IM fields. It was a win-win situation for both.”
Campus Recreation, now rechristened as University Recreation, has been instru-mental in performing a sea of changes to the Miller Fields, both physical and administrative, to make sports facilities better and convenient for students.
Accord i ng to Ja son Spivey, interim director for University Recreation, they have made a plethora of changes to facilities in charge of them, namely the lower Miller Field and the Method Road fields.
“We replaced the lights, and the project is nearing conclusion,” Spivey said. “We have replaced the grass, but we are waiting for the grass to take hold, which may take another three weeks. We have also replaced the fencing.”
Spivey also wants the stu-dents to know that some of the most popular intramu-ral sports have changed ven-ues for their competitions.
“Intramurals for flag foot-ball, soccer and basically most team sports will take place on the Method Road Fields,” Spivey said.

Former face of Wolfpack football leaves transplanted Pack fans in precarious position.
Sean FairholmDeputy Sports Editor
It’s a tradition dating back all the way to Monday Night Football’s con-ception 41 years ago. In the begin-ning stages of each prime time NFL contest, starting players receive ap-proximately two seconds of recorded air-time to state their names and re-spective universities.
Af ter star-ring at N.C. State and then eventually leaving to join the Wiscon-si n Badgers this past June, Russel l Wil-son may have to ask the pro-ducer how to mix identical shades of red.
“ I d o n ’ t know, they’re going to have to get creative with that,” Wilson said in a summer interview with Triangle-based radio station, 99.9 the Fan. “You are the radio guys, you’ll have to come up with that.”
Sporting an ambiguous red tie, the media savvy quarterback hesitated over the in-studio microphone for the slightest second before letting the world know why he couldn’t answer that potential question.
“I love N.C. State,” Wilson said. “And I’m falling in love with Wis-consin.”
In the Badger-frenzied city of Mad-
ison, Wilson has plenty of reasons to be falling in love. Whether or not he wants the Pack to be in the past, one of the most iconic players in State’s history has ar-rived to attention, captaincy honors and being named the starting quarterback.
764 miles away in Raleigh, State stu-dents who have passionate, rooting interests with football teams up north also have an interesting dynamic. Wilson may have traveled hundreds of miles to Camp Randall, but his presence on NC-SU’s campus still resonates.
Ben Nelson, a sophomore in PGA Golf Management, is a Lisle, Ill. native and a ardent follower of Wisconsin football.
Although Nelson had never rooted for another college team before arriving in Raleigh, Wilson’s in-decisiveness between playing baseball or football has led to mixed emotions.
“I kind of don’t like that he left,” Nelson said. “It feels like he pulled a Brett Favre on us. He was able to get out, so he
got out. I feel bad because he left N.C. State to go to another team, so that kind of makes it feel like he wasn’t fully com-mitted to the team.”
In terms of the former All-ACC selec-tion suiting up for the Badgers, Nelson said the situation may not be the perfect marriage that much of the country be-lieves it to be.
“They’re going to have to find ways that Wisconsin is not used to in order to make him effective,” Nelson said. “The guys we have had in the past are game manag-ers, not play makers like Russell Wilson

Leigh WoodardStaff Writer
The N.C. State Dance Team is more than ready to step onto the field and perform for the upcoming September 3 football opener against Liberty Univer-sity. With increased practice
hours and extra help from outside instructors to meet fitness goals, the team contin-ues to build upon an already outstanding program.
The dance team is led by Coach Amanda Roediger and three assistant coaches, Kristin Rosowski, Ashley Zimtbaum and Valerie Curran- all three of whom attended NCSU and were on the dance team dur-ing their time here. When asked if N.C. State was a good fit for her, Roediger, who’s in
her fourth year coaching the dance team, expressed her love for the Pack.
“It’s fantastic,” Roediger said. “I moved from Charlotte to come coach here at N.C. State. I had followed this program and had always been a fan of it so this is a dream job for me.”
Behind all successful pro-grams are successful motiva-tors and the dance team coach-
