In light of hate incidents against African Americans and the GLBT community last year, N.C. State started an initiative to preserve and celebrate diversity for an en-tire week in October. Last week, the University celebrated its second installment of Diversity Week, and in many ways, was reminded of its importance and need on campus.
Late Sunday night, Oct. 14, offen-sive word in the tunnel, “N*****f**.”
Justine Hollingshead, director of the GLBT Center said the word highlighted the reason why students must be educated on diversity of races and lifestyles.
“It sends a pretty clear message that one person does not feel that everyone is welcome here at N.C.
State,” Hollingshead said. Eric Dekker, a freshman major-
ing in industrial design, said he was disheartened by the words painted in the Free Expression tunnel.
“Unfortunately, I feel like what was written in the free expression tunnel was a sad reminder of our ig-norance in our community and the world,” Dekker said. “Some people will always try to view themselves as above others.”
Diversity Week focused on cul-tural education, and students par-ticipated in activities and seminars put on by the Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity.
The College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Poole Col-lege of Management worked to help put the week together. CHASS presented a discussion panel titled “Research and Underrepresented
Populations,” and PCoM spon-sored the Ally Rally, an event for GLBT support in the Brickyard. Last week’s events included a hu-

Redshirt sophomore running back Mustafa Greene and redshirt freshman wide receiver Tyrrell Bur-riss have been permanently dis-missed from the football program.
In the postgame press conference following the Wolfpack’s win over Maryland in College Park, Md., Head Coach Tom O’Brien said the two were not champions in the classroom or in the community.
Greene previously served suspen-sions in his two and a half seasons with the program. Prior to the be-ginning of the current campaign, he was suspended during spring practice and preseason workouts. He was held out of the spring game and academic issues delayed his re-turn to the field until August.
In February 2012, Greene was charged with six traffic violations in Rowan County and missed his court date. Legal troubles continued for Greene as he faced misdemean-or drug paraphernalia charges on April 2 in Wake County. His traffic issues have been resolved and his court date in Wake County is set for June 7, 2013, according to the News and Observer.
Following his initial return to the team Aug. 11, Greene expressed his gratitude for getting a second chance.
“I’m just thankful to get a sec-ond opportunity to come back out here,” Greene said. “I’m glad that my teammates are welcoming me back and my coaches accepted me back.”
Greene led the team in rushing his freshman year, pounding out 597 total yards on the season and tack-
ing on four touchdowns for State. He missed the 2011 season due to a foot injury.
He made two appearances for the Pack this season. Greene rushed for 53 yards on 11 attempts in N.C. State’s season opening loss against Tennessee in Atlanta, Ga. In his second outing of the season at Con-necticut, Greene gained 48 yards on the ground. He led the Pack in rush-
ing yards in both games. Greene was suspended Sept. 15, prior to the Pack’s home opener against South Alabama.
Burriss had previously played cor-nerback before switching to wide receiver in spring workouts. He did not see any action for the Pack this season.

Exxon shares fraction of profits with EngineeringSara AwadStaff Writer
Exxon Mobil Corporation do-nated $38,000 to the College of En-gineering this past September and October.
According to a press release on the College of Engineering website, Exxon Mobil donated $7,000 to the University’s Minority Engineering Programs and gave $31,000 to pro-grams in the College of Engineering.
Dean of Engineering/foundations and Associate Executive Director of Development, Martin Baucom, said the $31,000 in grants would help support the chemical, mechanical, electrical, industrial and civil en-gineering programs at N.C. State.
The company has issued engineer-ing grants to the University for about two decades, Baucom said. The money is for-mally requested each year and is distributed through the En-gineering Foun-dation, which is a 501C3 organi-zation.
T h e f u nd s are used to help build leadership a mong eng i-neering students, especially those involved in organizations specific to that department, Baucom said. Many of these organizations in-volve travel expenses to conferences, which the grant can help pay for, ac-cording to Baucom.
A number of other companies also made contributions to the College of Engineering in recent years. Many
of these com panies are inter-ested in recruiting engineering students into their workforce,
which cre-ates compe-tition among students and gives them a wide range of exposure, Baucom said.
Exxon Mobil’s grant to the University
is, “certainly charitable in nature [and is] a marriage of [the Uni-versity’s] interest with [Exxon Mobil’s] priorities,” Baucom said.

Wolfpack Hunger Games postponedElizabeth MoomeyStaff Writer
The Wolfpack Hunger Games has been postponed until Thurs-day.
The event, which will be host-ed by Center for Student Leader-ship, Ethics and Public Service, was postponed to allow extra planning time for CSLEPS and to encourage a high attendance, according to Jessica Rose, direc-tor of hunger advocacy com-mittee and junior in industrial engineering.
The event originally was planned for Saturday on Harris Field was moved to Thursday Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. in Mann Hall room 404.
The event is a kick-off for N.C. State’s food pantry, which
is opening in November, which will benefit staff members and students.
These groups of three or more members can stack their collected food and will be judged on creativity and effort to win a prize. The group that collects the most food for the pantry will also receive a prize.
A representative from Feed the Pack will be at the event to answer questions and talk about the new pantry.
There will be refreshments, mu-sic, raffles and pumpkin-decorating. Students can get into the event for free if they bring a non-perishable food.

Fair extra cautious for E. ColiLiz MoomeyStaff Writer
After 27 fairgoers were in-fected with E. Coli O157:H7 last year, fair officials took measures to rid the chances of contamination.
According to Brian Long, press office director, officials created more separation be-tween people and livestock competitions, reconfigured stabling, relocated food ven-dors and placed signs and lights at sanitation stations to encourage hand washing. They also prevented fairgo-ers from trekking through the same path as the animals.
The state fair is not taking any chances after a 2-year-old died from complications of E. Coli and 106 became sick at a North Carolina county fair in early October last year.
“We can never eliminate the risk,” Long said. “But we’ve tried to reduce the risk as much as possible.”
Dr. Megan Davies, state epidemiologist with the N.C Division of Public Health, agrees.
“While there is no way to completely eliminate the potential for exposure, the measures being implemented will minimize the risk,” Da-vies said.
While Long said he is not aware of any illnesses, the bacteria can survive 10 days after contact.
The State fair has a history of E. Coli outbreaks.
In 2004, the petting zoo was linked to the hospitaliza-tion of more than 108 people, according to WRAL.
In 2006, a pita stand was linked to infecting three fairgoers.
Last year, state health of-ficials cited human exposure to goats, pigs and sheep in the Kelley Livestock Building as the reason.
The state created a State Fair Study Commission and funded $206,000 for changes with state revenue taxes. The commission’s goal was to al-low fairgoers to still be able to interact with the animals, while keeping people and competition livestock sepa-rated. They hired health ex-perts, veterinarians and live-stock handlers to evaluate the handling, transportation and exhibiting of more than 5,000 animals.
Children are most likely to be infected. Out of the 106 infected with E. Coli at the county fair, 64 of them were children. At last year’s state fair, three children out of five were hospitalized. Two-year-old Hunter Tallent spent 16 days in a Duke University Hospital in Durham with two failed kidneys.
Davies said though chil-dren are more susceptible to E. Coli infection, they are of-ten more resilient than adults once battling the infection.
The petting-zoo E. Coli infection in 2004 caused the parents of 14 children who became seriously ill to sue the state for failing to inform fairgoers about the known risk.
The state fair added some preventive measures to re-duce the risk of infections, such as new kid-height hand-washing stations that look like water fountains.
Following the 2004 infec-tions, fairgoers are no longer allowed in the pens with ani-mals, because children were being knocked down by ag-gressive goats and landing in feces.
The old milk parlor in the Graham Building was banned. Visitors can now watch the milking process at the mobile milking parlor as a dairyman explains with a live cow. Visitors are not allowed to walk past the metal pens and pet the cows as they wait for judging.
money that was granted to the Minority Engineer-ing Programs will mainly fund their Summer Tran-sition Program and Stu-dent Advancement and Retention Teams.
The programs help Af-rican American, Hispanic and Native American stu-dents transition to college and then navigate from their freshman to their senior years, Daniel said.
“There is a great effort in engineering that engi-neers are more representa-tive of society and so the recruitment and reten-tion of underrepresented groups is very important both for the College of Engineering and corpo-rations,” Baucom said.
According to a brochure from the Office of Minor-ity Engineering Programs, the Summer Transition Program is a six-week ses-sion that annually selects
50 students to earn college credits during the summer, while also allowing them to live in a residence hall and adjust to university life.
The START program pro-vides minority students with “big brothers and big sisters” that serve as mentors to the students and make the col-lege experience much more intimate, Daniel said. The mentors receive a stipend for volunteering and also receive money to do social activities, like going to the movies and getting pizza, with their men-tees, Daniel said.
Often, these programs assist students in deciding whether they would like to come to the University to pursue their undergraduate engineering degrees, accord-ing to Daniel.
A lot of these students come from different backgrounds and small, rural communi-ties, so the sheer size of the student population at N.C. State can be overwhelming, Daniel said.
“It is good to have these types of programs to help
them figure things out. For a lot of minorities it is just a different world,” Daniel said.
“There are a lot of compa-nies so committed to diversi-ty and they know it is a prior-ity for us as well,” Daniel said.
Some may feel that $7000 isn’t much money to support a minority program, but the grant allows us to pay for re-cruiting and retention pro-grams that can help students and allow them to have the best education possible, Dan-iel said.
Exxon Mobil has also given grants to many other univer-sities, like Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
According to their 2011 Worldwide Contributions and Community Investments report, the corporation do-nated $2 million in grants to universities across the nation through their Departmental Grants Program last year.
According to a news release on its website, Exxon Mobil earned more than $41 billion in 2011.

All in the balancePHOTO BY JOANNAH IRVIN
Jonathan Tufts, a freshman in biological sciences, juggles pins during practice at Carmichael Gym Thursday. “Its a hobby that I’ve for years,” Tufts said. “There is always room to improve. I would love to see the club grow and be
able to do shows through out the year.” He also juggles rings, hackie sacks and Chinese yo-yos. The juggling group meets from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Thursdays and 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays.

man rights awareness fair, a talk by Latina actress from America Ferrara, a presentation on “Neo-Diversity” and “I Heart Diversity T-Shirt Day.”
Hollingshead said that this week was successful based on the high at-tendance, and students showed support to renew the week next year.
She also said that based on feedback, many N.C. State students took away valuable lessons about diversity.
“Part of the goal of the diversity explored in Di-versity Week is that it’s not
just talked about in one week, but that it is talked about over a course of time,” Hol-lingshead said. “I think that’s what we were building on in the second annual Diversity Education Week. Students were very much a part of that process.”
This year’s Diversity Week coincides with the first an-niversary of the vandalizing of the GLBT Center, when vandals stray-painted “burn” and “die” on a bulletin board of the center in Harrelson Hall.
“I think it’s fitting that this is Diversity Week as well,” Hollingshead said. “It helps to provide that support for the GLBT community through the ‘I Heart Diversity’ T-shirt Day and the other events.
Encouraging people to sup-port the GLBT community has been very helpful for the ongoing process of healing from the incident that hap-pened last year.”
However, some students used this incident as an opportunity to show how much N.C. State has grown as a community that supports diversity.
Hollingshead said the per-fect outcome of Diversity Week would be to have the conversation continue all year through more speaker sessions and more activities that explore diversity for stu-dents. Hollingshead said she would also like students to take what they learned from Diversity Week and apply it to the University’s campus.

There’s a storm ap-proaching. If noth-ing’s done soon, it’s
going to ruin this town. There are measures being taken by the two rival clans to limit
the peoples’ ability to do anything about t he clans’ joint control over everything i n t o w n . W hen t he b o s s e s o f
these two clans come out in public to debate matters of purported importance, they don’t discuss this storm at all, and none of the other townsfolk are making them talk about their rights being taken away. Whenever some-one from a smaller clan tries to join this debate and talk about these relevant things, she is arrested.
This is reality. We’re al-ready feeling the tremors of this storm with record-breaking heat waves, fires, droughts, floods and all na-ture moving toward more imbalances and an all-out dance of death. But climate change wasn’t mentioned a single time in the first two Presidential debates, and it’s unlikely that environmental matters will be mentioned in the third one on foreign policy today.
We are also living under increased tyranny. Extrem-ism of the kind that would not have been tolerated pre-9/11 has now been normal-ized with the USA PATRIOT Act, drones flying over U.S. soil, ruthless persecution of whistleblowers, paramili-tarization of the police, and most recently, the National
Defense Authorization Act of 2012. This bill, signed by President Obama Dec. 31, 2011, empowers the Presi-dent to use the U.S. military on Americans citizens, on American soil, to indefinite-ly and extrajudicially detain them if suspected of “terror-ist activity.” However, in part because of the media blackout around the NDAA, no ques-tion about this draconian piece of legislature has been asked during the debates. In fact, neither of the candidates has had to talk about civil liberties at all. We are kept, and willfully remain, utterly negligent of the covert assault on our freedoms by our own government. (Of course, leav-ing us with no freedoms to be hated for could just be the best way to save us from the terrorists.)
The discourse of the de-bates is a farce. The economy and health care matter, but there’s not enough in either of the candidates’ policies for the people – in both their visions, the economy will remain a casino for the rich, and the United States will re-main the only industrialized country without universal health care. The discourse is a distraction, meant to keep us calm and make us think that everything will be fine if just enough jobs are created. It’s meant to keep us going to work while our rights are taken away and our ecology crashes, so that soon enough, we have no choice but to keep on going to work and keeping the existing order operating, even if there’s nothing left it in for our good … if it isn’t already this way.
Before the second debate, Green Party candidate Jill
Stein and her running mate Cheri Honkala were ar-rested at the venue because Stein wanted to go in and participate. Stein commit-ted no crime except for be-ing a third-party Presidential candidate wanting to take part in the Presidential de-bate. However, neither the Democrats nor the Repub-licans want a third-party candidate, whether Green or Libertarian, to show up at a debate and skew their drivel. It is for this reason that they jointly created a corporation, the Commission on Presiden-tial Debates (CPD), to seize control of the debates from an independent body, the League of Women Voters, which ran the debates before the CPD. Under CPD rules, a candidate must have support from “at least 15 percent of the national electorate as de-termined by five selected na-tional public opinion polling organizations,” a level of sup-port third-party candidates would find difficult to gar-ner unless they are allowed to participate in the debates. A more reasonable rule would be to allow any candidate on enough ballots to get elect-ed. (Stein is on 85 percent of ballots.) But that would not benefit the two-party single-entity, and so it’s not allowed to happen.
Instead, the debates remain a blindfold, or as Jill Stein said after her arrest, a “mockery of democracy,” keeping mass consciousness from recogniz-ing and talking about the big issues. In Thomas Jefferson’s words, “Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, ei-ther one.” This is exactly what we are doing.

An unexpected victory
As we mourn the passing of Uni-versity President
Emeritus William C. Friday, members of the Univer-sity commu-nity — and especially students up the road in Chapel Hill o r d o w n the road in Ra leigh — should re-member the immediacy
and urgency of his legacy. Nearly every encomium
to the life of this remarkable man has noted his commit-ment to the highest ideals of public higher education, and in most cases it is either, and often both, his promotion of opportunity, affordabil-ity, access and service to the commonweal, and his tire-less efforts to mitigate the effects of athletic tribalism that have been singled out for recognition. The relationship
between these concerns may not be immediately obvious, but in the context of cur-rent events, they cannot be ignored.
For Bill Friday, the func-tion of higher education was to bring out what is best in our humanity, and sport was one of the many endeavors that promoted that end by cultivating an appreciation of human achievement, the virtues of commitment, per-severance, fortitude and why measuring ourselves against the talents of others teaches us both humility and dig-nity. In short, President Fri-day believed, rightly so, that sport is an occasion for learn-ing the values of excellence, integrity and honor. What he also believed, rightly, is that when winning is more im-portant than integrity, when the victories of your athletic “tribe” are more important than the honor of the insti-tution itself, sport destroys — or abets the destruction of — the purposes for which institutions of higher educa-
tion exist. This was a lesson that Bill
Friday learned early from firsthand experience, and that experience may be a critical object-lesson for us today. When in 1961 he bravely cancelled the Dixie Classic bas-ketball tour-nament be-cause of the corruptions of athlet ic tribalism, spor t s fa-natics from every tribe in the state wanted his head. What we should not forget, how-ever, is that those voices also complemented what was at the time a loud chorus of naysayers who thought that the university ought not to be the open, accessible, forward-looking institution Bill Friday believed that it should.
Today, that legacy is once again under attack by those who favor a narrow minded
“political correctness” in which independent think-ing, civic commitment and a shared prosperity have no place. And today the dupes of athletic tribalism have once again appeared as the unwit-ting accomplices of those who
would turn U NC i nto a shr u n k-en vest ige that serves t h e k i n d of pinched and crabbed world-view William Fri-day refused to abide.
We m ay never know whether Friday might have been thinking about the parallels between the challenges he faced in 1961, and the challenges of 2012, when he said that the diff iculties of reining-in athletic tribalism that forced Holden Thorp to tender his resignation as chancellor at UNC-Chapel Hill indicated that higher education in
North Carolina was “in a very dangerous situation.” But we know that many thoughtful leaders, teachers, employees and students in the UNC Sys-tem recognized that when the athletic tribes at Chapel Hill and N.C. State celebrated Thorp’s decision, they were betraying the interest of every athlete, every student, every alum and every citizen of North Carolina who expects the best of every institution in the UNC system.
Bill Friday hoped, as he said in a recent interview, that “People don’t want their lifetimes to be measured by how much their football team won or lost.” And that was ex-actly what was in mind when the UNC Board of Governors President Thomas Ross, fac-ulty across the university sys-tem, the Chapel Hill Board of Trustees and thousands of students and alumni asked Holden Thorp to reconsider his decision. They under-stood this was not about cleaning up a sports scan-dal, and that it wasn’t likely
to change Thorp’s mind. It was about rededicating our-selves to the mission of pub-lic higher education that Bill Friday hoped all of us would embrace.
None of this is to suggest that you shouldn’t root for the Pack to beat the Heels. But it is to suggest that when you do, remember that there is no honor, integrity or dignity in representing a di-minished institution, or com-peting against an unworthy foe. William Friday under-stood this, and he devoted his life to creating institu-tions that were dedicated to encouraging excellence. We would do well to emulate his example, and to expect from ourselves the commitment we hope others might recip-rocate.
Stephen Leonard is the proud parent of four N.C. State students, an associate professor of political science at UNC – Chapel Hill, a member of the UNC Faculty Assembly ( and a former Division I athlete).
A mockery of democracy
William Friday and the dangers of athletic tribalism
Af ter handing Maryland its first conference
loss, N.C. State improved to a winning record in ACC play, and the Pack put itself in a comfortable position to decide its own fate (regarding whether it w i l l go the ACC champi-onship). But, para-doxically enough, the big-gest win for State was also a loss for the football team — head coach Tom O’Brien an-nounced that players Mustafa Greene and Tyr-rell Burriss have been per-manently dismissed from the team.
At the post-game confer-ence, O’Brien said that nei-ther Greene nor Burriss were champions in the classroom or in the community.
A lthough the players showed potential (well … at least Mustafa did), we must commend N.C. State Ath-
letics for do-ing the right thing by let-t i ng t hem go. W h i le the ACC is choked by lackluster football per-formances from most of its teams and
the stink from the rotting flesh of a wounded ram, N.C. State is becoming a stronger contender, even in the face of adversity.
The sacking of Greene and Burriss (and the soccer play-
ers who caused mischief at Downtown Sports Bar) af-firms the Pack’s commitment to integrity off the field.
O’Brien, once again, made the right call, and — for now — has secured his job as coach for another sea-son. It seems that the thread from which his position as head coach dangles becomes more worn with each season. But big wins — like the ones recorded against Florida State and Maryland — keep him around without too much re-sentment from fans. It goes to show that the strength of a program is greater than the sum of its parts, no matter what they could have done on the field.
As the Pack goes for six-straight against the Tar Heels Oct. 27, N.C. State will show UNC-Chapel Hill what it means to be champions both on and off the field.

This year, N.C. State partic-ipated in Food Day, a national event that focuses on raising awareness of major food is-sues, such as eating healthy or sustainability, by holding a “farm to fork reception” on N.C. State’s educational farm. Leaders in the field of sustainability and students alike came together to eat lo-cal food and learn about each other’s work.
About 100 people were in attendance representing various groups, including the Parks Scholars, professors in agroecology and businesses that work with student farms. Each group brought a differ-ent issue and specialty to the table to share their expertise with the rest of the contribu-tors.
“There were a lot of various efforts in sustainable agri-culture around the Univer-sity, and we wanted to bring everybody together first so everybody knows what each other are doing,” Michelle Schroeder-Moreno, director of the agroecology program and the agroecology educa-tion farm, said. “Then the second part is how can we move forward collectively and think about even bigger possibilities.”
Natalie Ospina, a junior in psychology, helped organize a part of the event that em-phasized the social issues of farming, particularly farm worker justice.
“There are certain require-ments that are very vague about what their living con-ditions should be. So you can see sometimes in a labor camp ten people to a room or twenty people to a bathroom, and that’s normal,” Ospina said.
The problem of underprivi-
leged field workers is deeply complex, as it involves aspects of many issues like immigra-tion, human rights and sus-tainability. Ospina isn’t sure what the solution is, which is one of the reasons she wanted awareness to be raised.
“I do believe that advocat-ing for farm workers is the first step because they don’t have the voice or capability to have somebody to stand up for them,” Ospina said.
The Park Scholars fresh-men contributed with a map of the student farms at United States universities.
“What we were trying to do is gain more support for or-ganizations such as this [ed-ucational farm],” Brandon Honeycutt, a freshman in en-gineering, said. “We wanted to show that there are other
organizations around that work off of student farms.”
They based their map off of research data gathered by Stephen Ratasky, a graduate student in crop science, who has been studying student led farms across the country and also participated in the event.
Ratasky identified different student farms and then stud-ied them to see which of their methods the N.C. State ed-ucational farm should adopt.
“Education-al strategies, community engagement strategies, defining success-ful components to a student farm, identifying challenges,
solutions, things like that,” Ratasky said. “We’re going to learn from the people that are doing it out there and bring those lessons here to this site.”
While our educational farm is still in its early stages, with help from students like Ra-tasky it is already being used
for classes a n d t o grow food f o r t h e University cafeteria.
SOUL garden, the Univer-sity’s f irst on campus commu-
nity garden, was also repre-sented at the event.
“Basically it’s a place that
students can come and learn about how to grow their own food and we open it up to the community too,” Katie McKnight, a senior in environmental science and the co-starter of the SOUL garden, said. “We just really wanted to see something on campus that gets students to think about where their food is coming from and make that connection from farm to table,” McKnight said.
The garden not only raises awareness in the students, but involves and serves the com-munity as well.
“That’s always the goal — to have enough food to donate to inter-faith food shuttle,” Ezekial Overbaugh, senior in plant biology and anthropology, said.
University Dining also par-
ticipated, catering the event with locally grown food.
“Right now we are 28 per-cent local in the dining halls,” Christopher Dunham, sus-tainability coordinator for University Dining, said. “And we’re trying to definitely im-prove upon that.”
Even though the “farm to fork reception” was a collec-tion of experts in the field of agroecology, they were all adamant that the commu-nity needed to be involved in a cultural change toward sustainability.
“You don’t necessarily have to be an agriculture major or an agroecology major to help with solution,” Ospina said. “I mean, it’s everything we eat, so I feel like everybody’s part of the system.”

About 80 percent of the seafood that is consumed in the United States is imported from around the world. It is likely that much of the sea-food that people in the Tri-angle consume was either frozen or had been sitting out for days or even weeks.
According Ryan Speck-man and Lin Peterson, who both have degrees in Fisheries and Wild Life Science from the University, this is unfor-tunate.
“We saw the fishing in-dustry as it is and thought we could do it better and at the same time, help out local economies and local fisher-men,” Speckman said. “I lived on the coast for eight years and built a lot of friendships with guys in commercial fishing. After I moved back from Raleigh, I kind of saw a niche for really fresh seafood in Raleigh. So Lin and I de-cided we would pursue trying to get the guys I know with their seafood and bring it up here to sell it.”
Once Speckman and Peter-son put their mind on selling fish in Raleigh, they said they pursued their dream at all costs and did not give up. In July 2010, the two N.C. State graduates decided to put a company together, and after brainstorming several names, they came up with “Locals Seafood.”
These two N.C. State grad-
uates and entrepreneurs said they enjoy their business they created because not only do they feel they are doing some-thing they truly love, but at the same time, they are ben-efitting others.
“For me, this job is great be-cause it’s helping local com-mercial fisherman get a better price for their product and promoting them,” Speckman said. “And also to be able to say that we truly are selling a local product, because at least half the seafood you find in grocery stores, or anywhere for that matter, is not really local. This is truly a local product and that’s probably what I’m most proud of.”
Peterson said although he loves Locals Seafood for simi-lar reasons as Speckman, he enjoys it for other reasons as well.
“I like working with peo-ple, being out from behind a computer,” Peterson said. “And also, folks like food and they are happy when they get it. Especially if it’s got added value where they know where it came from, that it’s not shrimp from halfway around the world. It’s shrimp that was swimming yesterday.”
Speckman and Peterson are proud of how far their business has gotten, and are thankful they earned degrees in fisheries and wildlife sci-ence at N.C. State.
“I feel like the education we got in fisheries and wild-life was kind of a foundation for doing something along
these lines,” Speckman said. “We’re not just going down and buying stuff haphaz-ardly. We know what kinds of species are being caught at certain times a year and how they are being caught. We’re worried about how they are managed and we’re looking at it a little deeper than just going to a grocery store and picking out fish.”
According to Speckman and Peterson, Locals Sea-food has tripled in size since it started.
“Locals Seafood kicked into gear about last May,” Peterson said. “We started the Down-town Farmers’ Market. That was our first big market.”
And following that big step, about half of their business is wholesale to restaurants or other retail markets like Pool’s Diner, Busy Bee Café, Capital Club 16 and Man-dolin. Locals Seafood goes to the Downtown Raleigh Farmers Market and also the State Farmers Market at Cen-tennial Campus.
“We sell to LoMo Market, which is a wholesale mobile farmers market and they cover Durham, Chapel Hill and Raleigh,” Peterson said.
Speckman and Peterson said they hope that Locals Seafood continues to grow. They also want to pursue Lo-cals Seafood increasing their wholesale side of their busi-ness and being able to choose some of the best farmers mar-kets to sell.
“When I lived on the coast, I got used to guys bringing
fish over they caught that day and we’d eat it,” Speck-man said. “I feel like there is a difference and that people can tell the difference be-tween truly fresh seafood and something that is not. We have people who always tell us, ‘That was the best floun-der I have ever had,’ or, ‘the best swordfish I have ever had in my life.’ And it’s because they never actually had fresh swordfish or flounder before. That’s what it tastes like when it’s fresh.”

JOANNAH IRVIN/TECHNICIANLin Peterson, an N.C. State graduate in the fisheries and wildlife department, explains the importance of getting fresh fish to the customers at the Raleigh Farmer’s Market on Thursday Oct. 18. “We see customers say ‘wow’ because they have never had seafood as fresh as ours,” said Peterson “A lot of stores sell fish a week or two after the fish has been caught but our fish were swimming on Monday and it’s now Thursday.” The booth is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Thursdays through Saturdays.

As Halloween night creeps closer, more and more chanc-es to celebrate the holiday begin to crop up. Stores are filled with costumes and fun-sized candy, new horror films hit theaters and Halloween movie marathons are on TV.
For students looking to get a little bit more out of the holiday, the Office of Inter-national Services is providing a bit of foreign culture to the celebration. In collaboration with the Union Activities Board, the International Hor-ror Film Festival is returning to Witherspoon Cinema.
The event, now entering its second year, was created by Thomas Greene, interim director of OIS. Greene said that the festival started as an idea several years ago, before he was finally able to get it off the ground last fall.
“I’ve always been a fan of different genres of film, among them horror,” Greene said. “I realized the connec-tion between my love of things international and film, particularly horror films, were intersecting in a unique way. It seemed like a natural connection to try and attract students.”
For many students, most of the films screened last year proved off-putting simply because of how differently foreign cultures interpret and shoot horror films. For Greene, though, this is one of the most important aspects of
the festival.“What we want to do is get
the campus a little more fa-miliar with the basic things that exist in any culture,” Greene said. “It gives them insight into these common traits that are part of human nature, such as fear. It’s kind of fun to get that experience. What freaks people out [in other cultures] is kind of an interesting study in and of itself.”
This year, instead of four films airing over the course of a week, there will be a double feature of two foreign horror
films Thursday Oct. 23, start-ing at 7 p.m. The films being featured a r e L e t the Right One In, made in Sweden, and Thai-land’s Shutter.
Accord-i n g t o Greene, the deci-s i o n t o shorten the event to a double feature
was a result of the event’s per-formance last year.
“It was met with some mixed results,” Greene said. “Part of i t w a s first year jitters, and also kind of a fear of the topic.”
This year, picking the films
came down to selecting mov-ies that would play well with the student body, while still offering something different.
“We’ve probably got titles of eight or nine films from different cultures that tend to generate really good hor-ror movies,” Greene said. “It was a matter of strategi-cally picking films on our list, while also getting a sense of global culture.”
Though last year’s event wasn’t a huge success, Greene still feels there is an audience for the festival, and he hopes American students can use it
as a stepping stone to further international interest.
“I think a lot of students don’t have that exposure to things that are internation-al,” Greene said. “The road to meaningful cross-cultural interactions, there are steps we take for granted, such as film.”
Still, regardless of why stu-dents turn up for the event, Greene simply hopes that the audience will get a chance to enjoy a type of horror film they may not have checked out otherwise.
“We hope that the whole campus is there,” Greene said. “We’re hoping this is an event that everyone can come and enjoy each year.”
“What we want to
do is get the campus
a little more familiar
with the basic things
that exist in any
culture.”Thomas Greene, interim director of

There’s a chance that Saturday was junior Al-bin Choi’s final competi-tive round at Lonnie Poole Golf Course.
After finishing in a tie for fourth at N.C. State’s home fall event, the Ca-nadian is f lying down to Florida for the first stage of the PGA TOUR’s Qualifying Tournament, which will be held this Tuesday through Friday. There are three stages in qualifying school, which culminates with a noto-riously exhausting final stage in La Quinta, Calif. at The Club at PGA West. After play ends for the first stage Friday, Choi will fly back to North Carolina for State’s next tourna-ment — the Bridgestone Intercollegiate — next weekend in Greensboro.
“[The PGA TOUR] is something he has looked forward to all his life,” head coach Richard Sykes said. “And if he makes it, we’re going to be proud of
him.” “If he doesn’t, we’re going
to keep him.”Choi, who has won five col-
legiate titles and is considered one of the best golfers in pro-gram history, routinely dem-onstrates that he is invaluable to the team. Along with a vic-tory at the Tar Heel Intercol-legiate, Choi has averaged 71.0 for nine rounds this fall and could poten-tially turn pro as the opportu-nity pres-ents itself.
One a re a of his game that could stand in the way of reaching his PGA TOUR goal at such a young age is his putting. Choi be-gan the final round of this past weekend’s Wolfpack In-tercollegiate trailing by just one shot, but failed to get anything going on the greens while Carolina’s Brandon Dalinka fired a tournament record six-under-par 66.
“I’m just going to work on my putting a little bit,” Choi said. “I need to try to get the
speed down a little more and obviously I’m trying to get used to new greens (down in Florida) next week. I think I hit the ball good enough to win this week, but the putter just wasn’t doing it for me.”
The tournament turned out to be won in a landslide, as UNC-Chapel Hill (-10) steamrolled the 12-team field with a 10-shot vic-
tory over East Carolina (E). A whole 14 shots beh ind ECU was State (+14), which had 11 players in the field but could on ly choose
five players at the start of the tournament whose scores would count towards the team total.
“Obviously when you play 11 guys, you know you aren’t going to get the right five,” Sykes said. “I’m not too dis-appointed because we got beat by a team [UNC] that’s playing really well and then East Carolina is playing re-ally well.
“We wished we could have defended our home turf, but
these teams come over here and play it so much, I’m not sure if it’s our home turf any-more.”
Although the team’s star is backing up his sensational summer with a solid fall performance, several other players have been slowly im-proving for the Wolfpack. Sophomore William Herring recorded his first collegiate top-10 by shooting 76-69-71 and freshman Chad Cox also rebounded from a rocky opening round (77-69-72) to finish in a tie for 13th.
“It feels good finally get-ting to play in a tournament,” Herring said. “I started off very, very poorly, but I fought back and hung in there. It’s just nice to have a good fin-ish.”
Next weekend’s tourna-ment in Greensborov will be held at the Grandover Re-sort, a different venue from last year’s UNC-Greensboro Bridgestone Collegiate where Choi won the individual title and the team finished in sec-ond. The final tournament of the fall is in Hawaii at the Warrior Wave Princeville In-tercollegiate Nov. 5-7.
dent quarterback Mike Glen-non in the third quarter to give the Wolfpack a 17-9 lead. It was the 7th straight game in which Underwood caught a touchdown pass. He has eight scoring receptions on the season. O’Brien is happy with what he has seen this season from Underwood.
“[Underwood] is a kid that keeps getting better and bet-ter all the time,” O’Brien said. “He has a lot of confidence.”
Glennon overcame early struggles to f inish 23-47 passing for 307 yards and 2 touchdowns. The Wolfpack’s
recent propensity for playing in tight games has not es-caped the Pack’s quarterback.
“It got a little wild there in the end,” Glennon said. “I am sure our coaches would like for us to win a little easier, but the bottom line is we got the ‘W’ and a win is a win.”
The Wolfpack hopes to continue to expand on its re-cent performances when the conference season reaches the halfway point next week.
State will return to action Saturday as the Wolfpack looks to extend its five-game winning streak against the North Carolina Tar Heels at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill. Gametime is 12:30 p.m. and it will be telecast locally by Raycom Sports.

15-12. After taking the lead, State never looked back and paced to a 25-20 win, capped off by a thundering kill from Glass.
“It was a nice weekend,” Bunn said. “We had two sweeps. We served tough to-night and we dug in when we had to.”
The Pack is currently in third place of the ACC vol-leyball standings.
“We are just going to keep working hard in practice and we know what we want to achieve.” Kearns said.
The Pack completed a two game weekend and will face in-state rivals Wake Forest and Duke on the road before returning home to face ACC leader Florida State Nov. 2.

Reynolds Coliseum claimed Boston College and Maryland as its newest victims during N.C. State’s weekend volleyball matches. Both opponents were swept off the court without a set win. This year the volleyball team has turned Reynolds into a fortress, going 13-1 at home this season.
“I can’t really describe it, but it’s amazing to have our fans,” sophomore libero Alston Kearns said.
The Pack got things started Friday night during the Kay Yow Pink Match. It recorded 42 kills while Boston College only totaled 22 kills. Senior set-ter Megan Cyr tallied 33 assists while sophomore middle blocker Alesha Wilson accounted for 11 kills. Kearns led the defense with 19 digs.
Boston College failed to win a set during the match and dropped to 10-12 overall and 4-6 in the ACC. The Pack climbed to 18-3 overall and tied last year’s school record with eight total ACC wins.
Saturday evening the Pack set out to break the school record
for ACC wins versus Maryland. The Pack took only one hour and 25 minutes to sweep Maryland and secure the record-breaking win.
Always reliable senior setter, Cyr,
had a double-double with 29 kills and 11 digs. Sophomore outside hitters Nikki Glass and Dariyan Hopper led the offense with eight kills each while Alston Kearns led
the defense with 15 digs.The Pack got off to a quick start,
doubling Maryland’s score 8-4 before the Maryland Head Coach Tim Horsmon called a timeout. The timeout proved to help the Pack more than the Terrapins, as State stretched its lead to 12-4.
Two small runs of good play from Maryland cut the lead to five, but the Pack held strong and won the set 25-15. State had a .320 attacking percentage compared to a -.032 from Maryland in the first set.
Maryland came out in the second set a much stronger team as it went ahead of the Pack, 2-6. Big kills from Hopper and errors from Maryland brought the Pack to tie the score at 15-15.
A tough Maryland team would not go away as it forced State to fight back again and tie the game, 22-22. A kill by Glass, an ace and a missed kill from Maryland ended the set as State took the victory, 25-22.
Once again, Maryland came out of the gates firing to make the score 3-8. After Pack head coach Bryan Bunn called an early timeout, the Pack turned it around. During a pe-riod of eight serves in a row from Glass, the Pack came out ahead,

After going into halftime trailing 1-0, a pass from junior forward Nazmi Albadawi led to a goal by sophomore defender Moss Jackson-Atogi to tie the game at 1-1. That tie was short lived. Okoli scored his second goal ten minutes later and completed the hat trick at the 70th minute.

N.C. State outlasted Maryland, 20-18, in a lively affair at Byrd Stadium Saturday afternoon.
The game was not decided un-til Maryland freshman kicker Brad Craddock, who connected on a 48-yard field goal to give the Terps the lead earlier in the 4th quarter, missed a poten-tial game-winning attempt in the dying seconds. Sophomore Niklas Sade had connected on a 43-yard kick with only 32 sec-onds remaining that seemed to seal the victory for State before the late Terrapin drive that cast doubts.
“Unexplainable. The joy that when it went through. I came out screaming; I was so happy,” Sade said.
The Wolfpack (5-2 overall, 2-1 in league play) ended a horrific 16-game losing streak against Atlantic Division opponents on the road that dated back to the 2005 season. The last road victory within the division for State prior to this past weekend was a 20-15 triumph at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahas-see against Florida State in the November of that year. The fol-lowing week, the Pack started its long stretch of Atlantic Division road woes with a 30-10 loss to the O’Brien-led Boston College Eagles in Chestnut Hill, Mass.
After the game, O’Brien was quick to def lect praise for the Wolfpack victory.
“It [ending the divisional road
losing streak] says that we have great assistant coaches, great coaching staff and great kids,” O’Brien said. “That’s what it says.”
State, along with ending its Atlan-tic Division road losing skid, also saw some school records rewritten in College Park, Md. Junior cor-nerback David Amerson picked off a pass from Maryland freshman
quarterback Perry Hills during the 2nd quarter that moved him past Art Rooney and Eric Williams for sole possession of first place on the Pack’s all-time interception list with 17 overall in his career. The Wolf-pack have won 11 of the 13 games in which Amerson has at least one interception.
“It is a big honor”, Amerson said.
“I will look back after the season and enjoy it, but right now I am just trying to stay focused.”
Redshirt sophomore Bryan Un-derwood also added to his own school record when he hauled in a 68-yard strike from graduate stu-
