Raleigh, North Carolina Students are trying to spend less at the state fair this year. Elise Heglar Deputy News Editor The North Carolina State Fair opened for business Thursday, bring- ing people from all over the state to spend on entertainment in a tight economy. This year, students want to take a more practical approach to their spending at the fair. Stephanie Presley, a sophomore in chemical engineering, said food and rides at the fair tend to be extremely overpriced. “Everything at the fair is definitely way overpriced, but people keep buy- ing it every year anyway so there is no reason for them not to make it all overpriced,” Presley said. Paul Jones, the public information officer for the fair, does not think ticket prices should be a problem. Currently, it costs $8 for an entrance ticket. “Gate admission is fairly affordable; just $8, which is cheaper than going to the movies these days,” Jones said. An entrance ticket does not cover food or rides, but does cover some per- formances and all exhibits. Jones said there is a lot of opportunity at the fair for people to have a good time without spending a lot of money. “Once you’re in the gate you don’t have to spend another dime unless you want to,” Jones said. Presley said she was excited to at- tend the fair, but disappointed be- cause of the reg- ular University activities with which it clashes. “It’s exciting, but it really just means no home football games,” Presley said. Devon Smiley, a sophomore in the College of Management who is origi- nally from Delaware, is excited about the fair because it is considered such a big deal in North Carolina. “I definitely want to go because I hear all the food is really good, and people never want to miss out on it when it comes around,” Smiley said. Smiley is excited about the fair, but also wants to be smart about her spending when she attends. “I probably wouldn’t ride any rides because it would be too expensive, but I would try at least one food item,” Smiley said. Matthew Cum- bee, a junior in chemical engi- neering, said he feels the fair is not worth the money for him per- sonally. “I probably wouldn’t even go. It’s too expensive, and I don’t like that you have to pay for rides separately,” Cumbee said. Jones maintains it is a great value for students. Some new exhibits, such as Cultivate a Career, have been added this year. Cultivate showcases careers in agriculture. “It highlights agricultural ca- reers that people may not know about. It’s a pretty interesting booth that’s set up,” Jones said. New food and rides have also been added to the fair this year. $120 million project will be funded primarily by student fees. Joshua Chappell Senior Staff Writer The secondary source of funding for the Talley project, besides from students, is from private donations. However, no donations have actually been collected yet. Ground was broken on the con- struction site of the new student cen- ter earlier this year. The project has a price tag of $120 million, according to Dan Adams, associate vice chancellor for Campus Enterprises. It is expected to open in the fall of 2014. Students – some of whom will not benefit directly from the project – will be the biggest monetary contributors to the project. Patrick Devore, a senior in meteo- rology, is the chair of the Student Sen- ate Tuition and Fees committee. He said students will pay $5.3 million this year, which comes out to $185 per full- time student. “That fee will go up to $275 [per stu- dent] next year and stay at $290 the following year for at least the next 22 years,” Devore said. This means if enrollment were to remain static at 28,000 fee-paying students, which is the basis on which the Budget Office currently makes its calculations, students will collectively pay more than $8.4 million every year for more than two decades. Devore also said the $120 million price tag does not include interest ac- crued between now and the time the debt service fee is rolled off. According to Jonathon Smith, a junior in agricultural education and president of the Student Center Board of Directors, the project could not be funded without student fees. “The state of North Carolina does not fund student-life buildings such as student centers,” Smith said. “With- out student fees, there would be no project.” Organizers have made strides to- ward setting up a method by which donations can be collected. “Our fundraising efforts will begin immediately following the develop- ment of several tools, including the design of a donor brochure, several drawings of the future Talley and a video walk-through of the completed building,” Adams said. These tools to solicit donors will be completed by the end of Novem- ber, according to Adams. They could not be completed earlier because the architectural plans for the building have just recently been finalized, ac- cording to Smith and Mary Cobb Randall, a gradu- ate student in ac- counting. “Identifying spaces [that do- nors might have an interest in supporting] ear- lier in the proj- ect’s develop- ment would have been premature,” Randall said. After these tools are established, Randall said donations will allow the project to be fully funded. “Private donations will enable the project to be either enhanced or to re- duce the student fee associated with the project,” Randall said. Smith said this is a crucial time in the fundraising effort for the project. “We know the scope of the proj- ect and we have broken ground, so we are in that sweet spot where we have boots on the ground and a plan so donors have an active proj- ect to give to,” Smith said. Addition- ally, Campus Enterprises will gain funding for the project from profits from the N.C. State Book- store, Univer- sity Dining, space rental lease agreements and naming op- portunities, according to Adams.

Students are trying to spend less at the state fair this year.

The North Carolina State Fair opened for business Thursday, bring-ing people from all over the state to spend on entertainment in a tight economy.

$120 million project will be funded primarily by student fees.

The secondary source of funding for the Talley project, besides from students, is from private donations. However, no donations have actually been collected yet.

Ground was broken on the con-struction site of the new student cen-ter earlier this year. The project has a price tag of $120 million, according to Dan Adams, associate vice chancellor for Campus Enterprises. It is expected to open in the fall of 2014.

This means if enrollment were to remain static at 28,000 fee-paying students, which is the basis on which the Budget Office currently makes its calculations, students will collectively pay more than $8.4 million every year for more than two decades.

Talley yet to receive donations Former student

bites back at

administration

Former student sends heated emails to University leaders.

Caroline GallagherStaff Writer

Former ASG President Andrew Payne sent emails containing harsh language to high ranking administra-tors and student leaders regarding a title change within upper adminis-tration.

This position change is connected with the realignment of the Office of the Provost as initiated by Chancellor Randy Woodson. As has been publicly announced, plans have been made to merge the Division of Student Affairs with the Division of Undergraduate Academic Programs, and the vice chancellor of Student Affairs position will be changed to senior vice Provost for Student Services and dean of Un-dergraduate Programs.

However, Payne has expressed deep concern over the position change through the form of strongly worded emails to Woodson and Arden.

In their email correspondence, Payne originally contacted Arden requesting a position on the search committee for candidates for the vice chancellor of Students Affairs replace-ment.

In his response, Arden pointed out the new position would be titled “Senior vice provost for Student Ser-vices and dean of Undergraduate Pro-grams,” initiating Payne’s concern in the reorganization of the position.

“I’d like to be able to captivate peo-

ple—to teach them something.”

Elliot Engel, professor of English

of the project.“Our [current] student center

was originally named the Uni-versity Student Center upon its opening in 1972 and was renamed the Talley Student Center in 1998,” Randall said.

Complaints have arisen from students who are dissatisfied with paying for something from which they will never directly benefit, but Jennifer Gilmore, director of market-

ing and communications for Campus Enterprises, said these types of investments are not new and are necessary to keep the University moving forward.

“Every generation of students has made some sort of sacrifice for the next generation. As a member of the class of 1990, I have seen first hand what stu-dent fees have built in the past 21 years.

“Many projects around cam-pus have been completed as a result of student fees, including Health Services, Carmichael Gym and Witherspoon Cen-

ter,” Gilmore said. “Without these fees, the University can-not keep the campus current.”

Michael Atkins, a junior in political science, said he is in favor of the student fees for the project, as long as students are made aware exactly how the funds are being used.

“The fees are reasonable for the size and scale of the proj-ect,” Atkins said. “Having been a freshman during the Rally for Talley initiative, I can say that students were not made aware of what exactly the project would entail. I’m sure students

would support the project more if they felt an adequate amount of information had been pro-vided to them.”

Atkins also brought up a con-troversial issue from the Rally for Talley initiative: the student body vote on the project.

“The student body voted no to the renovations, but for some reason the vote within Student Senate did not reflect this, which points to some major flaws in the type of rep-resentation that students are receiving,” Atkins said.

Atkins also said while he agrees investments must be made in the future of the Uni-versity, he does not think the

University is investing cor-rectly.

“A new Talley will benefit fu-ture students, but using these fees for the development of aca-demic support and programs is more important and will benefit the students today and tomorrow,” Atkins said.

Stuart Bumgarner, a sopho-more in zoology, said he be-lieves the amount of money spent on the project is justified as long as it produces a better atmosphere on campus.

“Certain University policies have turned N.C. State into a commuter campus,” Bumgar-ner said. “The University needs to do far more to encourage a

sense of community here. If the new Talley Student Center does not foster this idea through new programs, venues and op-portunities, it will have been a profound waste of money.”

Randall said she hopes the project will turn into a catalyst for student life on campus.

“[The new student center] will be a place that students visit on a regular basis,” Ran-dall said. “This is a place that is all about our students.”

This quality, according to Randall, will be the appealing factor to donors.

that this merger is aimed to amplify student success by creating and improving programs geared to help students succeed.

The merger of these di-visions, resulting in the change in the position, was also in part created as Tom Stafford, vice chancellor of Student Affairs, has made plans to retire by the end of

the Spring 2012 semester.Arden assured the person

hired for the position will re-main an executive officer, and the search committee will work hard to find the best match for the position.

“The reality is that we are going to be doing a national search for this position. We are going to go out hard to bring in the best person in the country that we can find to lead this division. They will still sit on the executive officer’s group, alongside me and the chancel-lor. They will sit also on the

Council of Deans. They will be one of our leadership people in the institution, and we’re all very excited about this,” Arden said.

Arden recognized Payne’s fo-cus on the title chance and re-inforced that the ultimate goal of the change, which has been in planning for many months, is to maximize student success.

“I know that Mr. Payne is passionate about this issue,” Arden said. “I think what’s un-fortunate [about] all of this is that there’s way too much focus on what title a given individual

has. At the end of the day, what really is important is that we design a division and we design programs that have maximal impact on student success.”

Arden also pointed out that Stafford is involved in the pro-cess and supports the change.

“Dr. Stafford has been inte-grally involved in all of this planning and is playing a lead-ership role in this transition and is being extraordinarily supportive of these changes,” Arden said.

jordan moore/TechnicianTrooper Victor Lee directs traffic outside the annual North Carolina State Fair Thursday. Though traffic wasn’t bad on the first day of the fair, Lee expects it to get worse as the weekend draws near.

Patrolmen stomp the fairgroundsThe N.C. Highway Patrol prevented major traffic and pedestrian accidents at fair opening.

John WallNews Editor

Out in force, the N.C. High-way Patrol was scouring roads surrounding the state fair on its opening night.

Patrolmen wrangled pedes-trians across busy intersec-tions, and no traffic accidents were reported. Dressed in full regalia, officers were on every corner of major intersections and strategically placed to cre-ate crosswalks between gates and parking lots.

The highway patrol moni-tors all activity outside gates, namely traffic and pedestrians, while the Wake County Sher-iff ’s Department monitors ac-tion within gates.

“As usual, we have posts set up all around the event,” Trooper Eric Naylor said.

There are fewer troopers this year than last, according to Naylor.

“We have a few less this year as far as traffic enforcement. We have eliminated a few posts, so we need less officers,” Naylor said.

The Wake County EMS has responded to minor injuries, such as scraped knees, but nothing traffic related, accord-ing to paramedic Emily Owens. She has worked at the fair for about the past five years.

“I haven’t responded to any serious traffic accidents over the years,” Owens said. “When it rains, like it was earlier today, that can get worse. It gets slick, and people don’t really pay at-tention because they are look-ing for a place to park.”

Thursday was a slow day, Owens said.

David Sasser of Western Wake Fire Rescue was stationed just inside Gate 11. His agency handles fire emergencies with-in the confines of the fair, but he and his colleagues work with the highway patrol.

“The highway patrol has a plan that they put together, and [they handle traffic] very effectively,” Sasser said.

Sasser outlined common problems attendees run into.

“People, as a general rule, are looking at the lights and are trying to figure out where to park. They aren’t paying atten-tion to other vehicles or people crossing the street. They aren’t paying attention to troopers in the road. It’s a dangerous situa-tion out here,” Sasser said.

The highway patrol works the fair from beginning to end. Sasser cautioned that by the end, troopers are worn out and attendees should do what they say and not get in their way.

“By the end of the fair, I would not mess with any trooper around here; they are ill as hornets,” Sasser said.

Joe Speranza, a senior in his-tory education, paid $10 to park right across the street from the fairgrounds.

“It only took us about 10 minutes to get here from Hill-sborough Street. Traffic was nothing out of the ordinary,” Speranza said.

Since it was the first night, Speranza said patrolmen have not had to take much initiative to control a situation that will surely get worse.

“I don’t think they have had to work too hard yet. It’s only the first night, and [Friday] night and Saturday night will be much worse,” Speranza said.

Deep-fried Kool-Aid balls and bubble gum have been added to the laundry list of fried items available at the fair.

A new ride, called the Skydiver, has also been added this year. Jones described it as being similar to a Ferris wheel but with the ability to spin the seat forward as you

go around the wheel.“It’s a refurbished ride from the ‘60s. It’s a two-seater,

and you can do barrel rolls while you go around,” Jones said.

Creating the fair is a year long process. When the cur-rent fair ends on Oct. 23, planning for next year will begin. Jones said it takes a lot of work to make it happen, but it is always exciting when it all comes together.

Look forward and beyondIt is now routine for

Raleigh to be ranked among the best places in

America to live and work. In May, Forbes ranked Ra-leigh as the best place to do

business and the second most inno-vative city in America, only behind Austin.

With both the g loba l and nation-al economy st i l l l imp-i n g f r o m

the recession, this ranking certainly provides some cheer, but it may not mean enough in absolute terms. A lot more needs to be done if growth is to be achieved in a real sense.

Raleigh has withstood the economic onslaught better than any other city in the country and stands a chance to be the economic front runner in the near future. This provides a great op-portunity to State and the students studying here. It means better job opportu-nities and a chance to work with the nation’s best with-out having to relocate across the country.

This opportunity also calls on students to be pre-pared to face this challenge. It is obvious now that sim-ply graduating with a 3.5 or greater GPA is not enough to survive in the current job market. It is necessary to differentiate yourself from the crowd, be it through work experience, research or other leadership experi-ence during college.

Rather than being disheart-ened by this increased compe-tition, students should embrace the opportunity that will help them increase their caliber and add to their personality. A pro-fessional experience apart from regular classes helps build con-fidence and prepares students for a smoother ride ahead. Such activities are no longer option-al but an added pre-requisite to the GPA cutoff.

In addition to this, students should look at pursuing a mi-nor in a field that strategically complements their primary ca-reer choice. Having a minor in statistics has allowed me to see things in a different light, and the involvement with the de-partment has provided oppor-tunities I wouldn’t have known even existed. For example, in my statistics class I’ve learned about software programs I would never have come across in my chemical engineering curriculum, and to my great surprise and happiness, these programs have often helped me in my core studies for many purposes.

Such small additions to our learning make our develop-ment more holistic and ma-ture. We should make sure the lessons of this economic down-turn are not lost on us, and we should prepare ourselves for an increasingly competitive, but also more promising, future.

Another issue emerging from this recession is that corpora-tions and governments which earlier dismissed sustainable initiatives as expensive road-blocks to growth are begin-ning to ingrain sustainability into their corporate philoso-phy. Almost every company in any field today has a page or at least a few words on their

website about its sustainable initiatives. Everyone at the workplace certainly seems to have sustainability in the back of their minds.

While this renewed in-terest in climate change is driven as much by con-sumer interest and pressure, the recession has forced the industry to look at green in a new light.

While for a vast majority, this simply means increas-ing productive efficiency to minimize losses, quite a few global behemoths are looking ahead and making sustainability a part of their corporate culture. Compa-nies such as SAP, a global IT solutions provider, have a new position on their board for the Chief Sustainability Officer. These officers are not simply PR agents for the company but are being given a greater say within the company.

The biggest message to take home from all this is that a lot of these green ini-tiatives could well have been possible in the pre-recession era, but huge losses have forced companies to re-work their business models to incorporate new elements which are now required by the current global economic status. It is up to students and young entrepreneurs to understand and accept this challenge and make an op-portunity out of it.

Given the acumen of stu-dents on campus and our exposure to the best busi-ness region in the country, we hope this will not be so hard.

Inspiration from Jobs’s death

We are all different. We come from dif-ferent places, differ-

ent backgrounds and different cultures, but we all share one

thing: mortal-ity.

W i t h t h e death of Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple and Pix-ar Animation Studios, I re-cently became entranced by his words of wisdom. Steve Jobs was not

God, but he touched many of our lives with his ideas. The 300 million iPods, 128 million iPhones and 62 million iPads sold, in addition to iTunes, the App Store and digital music downloads are a testament to that.

As a forward-thinking ideal-ist, his mindset truly went all the way into the future, even to death. Steve Jobs had it right when he said, “Embrac-ing death is a beautiful way to further life. We’re young, but how often do we still feel awkward, like we’re looking for friends to sit with in the lunchroom?”

Today, right now, this very minute, this very second, we are one step closer to death. Are we following our hearts? And more importantly, are we challenging ourselves? By no means did this man fol-low the pack. He didn’t gradu-ate college, and by our arrogant standards these days we would have seen him as a failure, had he not turned out to be one of the most powerful minds of our time. He capitalized on every possible opportunity. He took the classes he wanted.

But as students, many of us push ourselves onto the already beaten path. We have our ad-visers plan out our schedule. We don’t think twice. When was the last time we threw off our already-set-in-stone mind-set and just seized the day for what it was?

People often see death as an ominous ending, a thought pushed to the very back of our mind. But death should drive us. Jobs recognized that, and we should too. Death should

drive us to take chances, take risks and never settle for any-thing less than our highest hopes. We never know when death will come.

The prospect of dying should make us see that when we’re too embarrassed to dance in front of people or accidentally trip while walking to class, we aren’t the only ones who have the clumsy gene. We are who we are.

Jobs couldn’t have put it any better when he told the Stan-ford graduating class of 2005 not to be anyone but themelves. When you know death is com-ing, why waste time being something you’re not?

Death will come. For some, it will come earlier than oth-ers. I’ve always heard the same exact thing from my elders—at one point, you’ll stop worrying and caring.

You’ll realize that as the years roll by, you owe it to yourself to live. Really live. They always say that ‘youth is wasted on the young.’ By the time we come to terms with death, we’ve al-ready lived half of our life. And

that’s when the regrets start pouring out: what we should have sa id? What we shou ld have done ? The places w e c o u l d have gone ? The people we shouldn’t

have let go?But, don’t let it get to that

point, Jobs said.Be your best self now. The

clock is ticking. We all have the same ending—so go for it. Talk to the people you want to talk to. Be with the people you want to be with. Give the world a chance to surprise you. Take the opportunity to surprise the people around you. Be like Jobs and be creative and innovative. If you’re happy, be happy. If you’re sad, be sad. Don’t waste your moments on trying to live how you think you should live.

Jobs said what is rarely ever spoken. We’re all going to die, so might as well live. Stop wor-rying about the what-ifs. Fol-low your heart. And never look back.

{ }Our view

While the intended ac-tions of the Student Senate are of good

intent, they will be setting an unwanted precedent of having the University take a stance on political issues.

Student Government is in place to govern student-related issues on campus, not to ad-dress a political issue on behalf of the student population.

As stated in the Senate’s “summary of purpose,” the N.C. Equality Act is “to publicly support all N.C. State students while discrimination is pro-posed to be written in our state Constitution.” While Student Government is the governing body of N.C. State, they should

not take a political stance on state and national issues for the entire student body.

This amendment has been on many students’ minds, as well as in our state’s political arena. It is not the Student Senate’s job to force a stance of a cer-tain group on the entire stu-dent body.

Because of this, the bill goes against its original intentions of encouraging diversity of points of view throughout our state.

While SB 514 is a politically straining issue for our state, it

is not the Student Senate’s re-sponsibility to act as the sur-rogate opinion for the student body. If an individual does not approve of the amendment and would like to take action, it is the individual’s responsibil-ity—not Student Senate’s.

If Student Senate cares to get involved in this political mat-ter, they should do it locally. They should create events with the support of other student organizations to spread aware-ness about the issue on cam-pus.

This type of action would en-

gage students on campus who would want to be involved in this political movement, while allowing those who don’t agree to not be involved.

Although Wednesday’s fo-rum was a good start, it did not include an opposing opinion.

This bill focuses so much on the liberal opinions of the stu-dents that it leaves out a more conservative view.

The Senate should find other ways to get students with the same opinion involved and en-courage them to take action, but when it comes to speaking on the entire behalf of N.C. State University, the Senate should stick to collegiate issues.

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.

Senate should stick to campus mattersThe FacTs:Student Senate is in the process of approving the NC Equality Act, this Wednesday, which would issue a stance opposing SB 514.

Our OpiniOn:Whether the entire student body agrees or disagrees with this bill, it is not the Student Senate’s place to issue a generalized political stance of the University.

FeaturesStudents earn college credit before arriving to campus via early college experiences.

James HatfieldStaff Writer

Getting a leg up on your contenders is vital in any competition, and college students want to know what they can do to make themselves stand out and get a head start. This is now possible to do as early as high school.

There are more than 50 comprehensive community colleges in North Carolina. Individual colleges have service areas that may include one or two counties. Students may, however, apply to insti-tutions of their choice, regardless of their counties of residence.

In Wayne County, community colleges of fer col lege-level classes to students of nearby high schools. These class credits my be transferable upon getting accepted into college. Many other community colleges have adapted this program.

One student at Wayne Community College, Zachary Brown, took college level courses in high school, and has decided to finish his general education courses there before going on to a uni-versity.

“I think that they helped me personal-ly,” Brown said. “I was able to take some advanced drafting courses through my high school, which allowed me to get a bit ahead. They offered more challeng-ing material that wasn’t standard for being in 10th and 11th grade.”

For Brown, taking classes at a commu-nity college allowed him to get a taste of college without venturing too far.

“Sometimes, getting thrown into a university setting straight out of high

school can overwhelm people, and this makes that transition easier,” Brown said. “The lower costs and fees are nice too, of course.”

Brown intends on going transferring to N.C. State and pursuing a degree in graphic design after completing his gen-eral education courses.

Some community and technical colleges have been making early college programs to allow students to go to high school at a community college once they’ve reached their junior year of high school. This af-fords them the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone in the same semester.

One student to take advantage of this was Allen Lambert, who is in the middle of his first year at the UNC-Wilmington. He attended Wayne Early Middle College

High School where he took college classes free of charge, and he now has junior standing at UNCW because of the credit transfers. He saw it as a great head start with few discrepancies.

“I entered into the program as a junior in high school, and by graduation, I had earned 36 college credit

hours,” Lambert said. “Being dually en-rolled in both high school and college re-ally helped me ease into the college cur-riculum so I wouldn’t be overwhelmed once I transferred.”

According to Lambert, the only down-side for him was that the program took a year off the maturation period that tra-ditional college students have to declare a major.

“I’m pretty much under the gun in making a decision on what to do with the rest of my life,” Lambert said. “But if I could redo my high school career I wouldn’t change a thing. I transferred into a major school already knowing the pace and academic standards I have to maintain in order to succeed at this level of schooling.”

English professor sheds light on important figures by focusing on obscure and quirky histories.

Hassan DuRantCorrespondent

Mark Twain, the accidental co-caine-dealer. Sir Winston Churchill, the buzz-kill. Sir Walter Raleigh: man or giant? Name a historical

figure, and Elliot Engel can tell you all their dirty little secrets—or maybe “all the things they wouldn’t want you to know.”

Engel gives 120 lectures per year, yet he st i l l has

enough energy to serve up an en-tertaining lecture each and every time. Thirty percent of his lectures are scheduled with the National Speakers’ Bureau, an organization that helps speakers get clients, but 70 percent of his time is spent with individual institutions that pay him specifically to speak. Engel gener-ates these clients himself, and he knows how to keep them coming for more; about 80 percent of Engel’s yearly lectures are given to repeat customers.

Engel manages to have a great rate of return because he isn’t only a lecturer—he is an entertainer. When Engel speaks, lecture halls turn into comedy clubs. Auditori-ums suddenly become the comedy halls, and he makes obscure topics in English literature become a rol-licking fun time.

“When he talks, he makes [his subjects] seem like actual people with actual problems, as opposed to historical figures,” Katie Sanders, a freshman in microbiology, said. Ac-cording to Sanders, her parents—

both alumni—love Engel so much that they forced her to read one of his books, A Dab of Dickens and a Touch of Twain. Sanders said she grew to love Engel and considers herself a die-hard fan.

While on stage, Engel makes his job seem effortless, but there is more going on than meets the eye. Engel has been a speaker for many years, and his zeal for oration goes back as far as he can remember.

Before Engel was even old enough to be Mr. Engel, he went to one of the meetings for an organization called the Toastmasters. The Toastmasters are a large non-profit organization of small clubs that promote the art of public speaking through their meet ings . W hen Engel was only seven years old, he accom-panied his father to one of the meetings and heard a speaker at one of the Toast-master events. This guest speaker man-aged to captivate the audience with great skill, but perhaps the most captivated per-son in the room was Engel himself.

“I remember sitting in the audi-ence, even as a young kid, thinking that he had such power. I’d like to be able to captivate people—to teach them something.”

Engel is not only an orator. He has also written 10 books to date. En-gel recalls an incident that occurred years ago, in Houston, Texas, near the very beginning of his career as a lecturer. At a Q&A session, a woman asked Engel if he had ever written any books.

“Well yes, I have,” Engel said, “It’s called Victorian Novel before Victoria: British Fiction During the Reign of William IV, 1830-1837.” The woman replied: “Well yes, but have

you written a book that anyone would want to read?”

Engel decided then that he should write books more acces-sible to the public. The proceeds of his latest book, Reigning Cats and Dogs—The Pets that Rule Our Lives, go to the Great Ormond Street Hospital, a hospital that author Charles Dickens helped establish.

“I’m very proud of the money I have raised for the children’s hospital…I think Dickens would be pleased.”

Like the careers of many influ-ential people before him, Engel’s career as a professional lecturer happened entirely by accident.

Decades ago, he was in charge of placing lectur-ers around North Carolina as part of N.C. State’s Humanities Ex-t e n s ion s pro -gram. One day, he thought he might give lecturing a try himself. He took a sabbatical from teaching and be-gan lecturing, and

he was met with great success.Even though Engel stopped

teaching more than two decades ago, his legacy still lives on today. Engel regularly makes visits to campus to deliver lectures.

“I thoroughly enjoy his lec-tures,” Ken Johnson, associate di-rector for the University Scholars Program, said. The Scholars Pro-gram makes it a point to schedule a lecture from Engel at least once per year. “I saw him first 20 years ago as a student here, thinking he was just hilarious,” Johnson said. “It wasn’t until about a decade later that I realized how much I’d learned.”

FeaturesKinder Soles sells flip-flops to benefit the community and the planet.

Sarah GuizardStaff Writer

Making an impact in the lo-cal community is easier said than done, but in the case of Kinder Soles, that is exactly what co-founder and N.C. State graduate Mark Saad set out to do.

Saad graduated from the College of Management with a degree in business and en-trepreneurship. Once Saad left N.C. State, he began working in the corporate world until he learned about the worldwide “footwear shortage move-ment.”

Upon learning more about this movement, Saad decided to get involved a nd f ig ure out a way he would help. Realizing that collecting gently worn shoes to give to people in need was easy, it seemed that the only diffi-cult part was finding a way to fund send-ing them to p e o p l e i n need. This need for funding sparked the company he re-cently started, Kinder Soles.

In 2010, Saad launched Kinder Soles to help contribute funds to help the movement. Kinder Soles designs and dis-tributes eco-friendly flip-flops. From the proceeds, 5 to 10 percent of each Kinder Soles purchase goes toward sending

shoes to people in need.The Kinder Soles flip-flops

don’t only help a good cause; they also have many other benefits. Saad described them as a “healthy flip-flop.” With the help of co-founder Chris Smith, Kinder Soles was able to take into consideration arch support and overall alignment

to make the ideal flip-flop. Kinder Soles also takes a green aspect w it h t he i r flip-flops’ midsoles and outsoles be-i n g m a d e from recycled plastic bottles and other re-cycled indus-trial materi-als.

The f l ip-flops of Kinder Soles provide heel cups and are made to mold to distinctive feature of one’s foot. Kinder Soles provides one classic style with three color options for its consum-ers. While at the moment there is only one style, Kinder Soles has been working closely with Garry Atkinson, a student and design researcher in the Mas-

ters of Science in Textiles pro-gram, to expand their styles into closed toe version of their shoes.

This year, Saad started his own non-profit foundation, SoleMates, with a sole focus of gathering funds and shoes for those in need. While Saad started Kinder Soles with the idea of helping the world, he said he realized there are many people just in our neighbor-hood who are in need. There-fore, SoleMates is focused on efforts to get shoes to those in need in the United States and, more importantly, in the

Triangle area. Concentrating locally enables the company to stay green and keep their carbon footprint low.

The SoleMates Foundation has thousands of gently used shoes just sitting in a ware-house ready to be sent to some-one in need. Kinder Soles con-centrates on raising the funds needed to send those shoes to the feet of the people who need them most.

With every Kinder Soles pur-chase, the company donates enough money to send shoes to people who need them. So when purchasing shoes from

Kinder Soles, people are not only buying a “socially con-scious” pair of flip-flops, but they are also paying to ship shoes to the people who need them.

SoleMates ha s a l ready g iven 1, 50 0 pairs of shoes to people in need in the Triangle, and the foundation is seen as a great orga-nization for the com-munity. With promises including contributing five pairs of shoes to a family in

need with the purchase of a pair of Prima Line flip-flops, this company shows the simple

steps it takes to make an impact in a

big way.

SportsUVA defeats NCSU 1-0 in overtime.

Brian AndersonStaff Writer

The Wolfpack women’s soccer team went down to No. 8 Virginia, 1-0, in sudden-death overtime at Dail Soc-cer Stadium Thursday night, despite a strong effort and quality defending in the first two halves of regulation play. State was able to keep the potent Cava-liers offense in check for the majority of the competition until senior goal-keeper Kim Kern was beaten at the end of the first period of extended play.

Coach Steve Springthorpe was pleased with the defense’s perfor-mance and their ability to execute their game plan despite the loss.

“I like what I saw,” Springthorpe said. “I liked how we defended. Our plan coming in was to frustrate them and limit their opportunities. They had 15 shots, but a lot of them were long range and they didn’t get behind us. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to generate more offensive opportuni-

ties. That was our game plan and we did it.”

For the initial part of the first half, N.C. State struggled to maintain of-fensive possession and gave the Cava-liers control of the ball most of the game. When Virginia stole the ball from State, they were able to quickly counter attack by dribbling and pass-ing the ball to their offensive playmak-ers.

In the first half, Virginia got the ball out to the flanks on offense, and then attempted to get behind the defense and create scoring chances. In the sec-ond half, the Cavaliers had all seven shots of the half. They played a keep-away style to try to break down the defense. Once again, in the offensive zone, they performed the same strat-egy as the first half.

In overtime, it was more of the same, except this time the Cavaliers finally got past the sturdy Wolfpack defense. About 25 feet from the goal in the center of the field, Virginia’s Lauren Alwine played a throughball to Morgan Brian. Brian got behind the State defense with the ball and put in

for the Wahoos in the 99th minute of the game.

After the game, freshman defender Shelli Spamer went over her squad’s defensive strategy.

“We doubled up the wingers so they couldn’t dribble across,” Spamer said. We dropped back a center mid[fielder] on [defense] so there wasn’t a gap.”

Spamer also identified Virginia’s plan of attack as the Cavaliers at-tempted to pull State’s back four out of position.

“They tried to draw defenders and play throughballs,” Spamer said. “It worked for them a few times, but we held them other than that.”

Senior forward Kristina Argiroff was all over the field for the Wolfpack. Argiroff started the game at forward and she was effective at winning balls out of the air. Later in the game, Argi-roff moved back to midfield and was able to track down her assignment and bridge the gap between the offense and the defense. Argiroff was proud with the energy the team played with but highlighted the team’s offensive struggles.

“We really hustled tonight,” Argi-roff said. “We didn’t complete many passes, but we did a great job tracking on defense; we hustled and tackled. “

The Wolfpack only had two shots in the entire match, both of which came in the first half. Argiroff cited their lack of success on the offensive

end due to their inability to maintain the ball.

“We have to work on possessing it,” Argiroff said. “We did a good job get-ting it out, but we mostly just kick it and that doesn’t work against a lot of ACC schools, so we just have to work on possession and getting it wide.”

“There goes my hero/Watch him as he goes/There goes my hero/He’s ordinary”

They won’t be winning any beauty contests, but Wake Forest has already made every college football publication tear up their preseason predictions. Tanner Price, trailing only Clemson’s Tajh Boyd for passing yards per game within the ACC, has made flashing back to Riley Skinner and the magical 2006 Orange Bowl run an easy thing for Wake fans to do.Next Game: vs. Virginia Tech (10/15, 3 p.m.)

Duke (3-2, 1-0 ACC) - “Maybe” by Sick Puppies“Maybe I’m a dreamer /Maybe I’m misunderstood /Maybe you’re not seeing the side of me you should /Maybe I’m crazy”

Duke has quietly put together a nice run after a disappointing season-opening loss to Richmond, but the Devils will need a handful of huge upsets to attend a bowl game. Putting up a fight against a dejected Florida State team is certainly not out of the question for David Cutcliffe’s team.Next Game: vs. Florida State (10/15, 3 p.m.)

#12 Georgia Tech (6-0, 3-0 ACC) - “Runnin’ Down a Dream” by Tom Petty

“I rolled on, the sky grew dark/I put the pedal down to make some time/There’s something good, waitin’ down this road/I’m picking up whatever is mine”

The Jackets slowed down last week against Maryland, but Paul Johnson will just be looking for his team to keep on rolling and running. A trip over to Charlottesville as heavy favorites is up next for the Rambling Wreck.Next Game: at Virginia (10/15, 3:30 p.m.)

Miami (2-3, 0-2 ACC) - “Afterlife” by Avenge Sevenfold“I don’t belong here,/we gotta move on dear/escape from this afterlife/’Cause this time I’m right to move on and on,/far away from

here”

After a tumultuous first two months of the season, the ‘Canes will be looking for a huge win at North Carolina this weekend. Needing a conference win to get back in the race, UM wants to come alive against a UNC team that was sloppy in a 14-7 win against Louisville.

North Carolina (5-1, 1-1 ACC) - “Upside Down” by Jack Johnson“Who’s to say/What’s impossible/Well they forgot/This world keeps spinning/And with each new dayI can feel a change in everything”What began as a throwaway season for UNC has turned out to be a hopeful one - Virginia Tech and Miami are not living up to

preseason hype and a close loss at Georgia Tech is the lone blemish for the Heels. Everett Withers’s team can become bowl eligible if they beat Miami this weekend.Next Game: vs. Miami (10/15, 12:30 p.m.)

Virginia (3-2, 0-1 ACC) - “A Beautiful Lie” by 30 Seconds to Mars“Everyone’s looking at me/I’m running ‘round in circles/Plagued with a quiet desperation’s building higher/I’ve got to remember this is just a game”If the Cavs would like a postseason birth, barely escaping Idaho at home is not a good sign. Hosting Georgia Tech and then N.C. State, the Hoos are gearing up for the home stretch.Next Game: vs. #12 Georgia Tech

(10/15, 3:30 p.m.)

Virginia Tech (5-1, 1-1 ACC) - “Enter Sandman” by Metallica“Something’s wrong, shut the light/Heavy thoughts tonight/And they aren’t of snow white/Dreams of war/Dreams of lies/Dreams of dragons fire”

The Hokies uncharacteristically let Miami run all over them en route to a close 38-35 win for Virginia Tech. Going to Winston-Salem is a nightmarish game for Logan Thomas and the Hokies, who need a win to keep pace with coastal division leader Ga. Tech.

A look at the weekend’s football match-ups.

Sean FairholmDeputy Sports Editor

Chaotic as usual, the ACC currently has nine different teams either without a confer-ence win or without a confer-ence loss. Five games, all of which are head-to-head ACC

match-ups, highlight the week seven slate where Technician as-sesses the rhythm of each team in the conference.

Boston College (1-5, 0-3 ACC) - “Dream On” by Aerosmith“The past is gone/It went by, like dusk to dawn/Isn’t that the way/Everybody’s got their dues in life to pay”

For the Eagles to clinch a 13th

consecutive winning season, it is going to take one of the more miraculous efforts the ACC has seen since expanding to 12 teams. Visits to Virginia Tech, Miami and Notre Dame highlight Boston College’s rather steep uphill battle to obtain bowl eligibility, but there will hopefully be no fear of losing this week with only practice standing in the way.Next Game: at Virginia Tech (10/22, 3 p.m.)

#8 Clemson (6-0, 3-0 ACC) - “No One Believes Me” by Kid Cudi“I know that something is wrong here/I can feel it but no one believes me/I know that something is strange here/I can sense it but no one believes me”

Continuing to shock the conference and the nation by uncharacteristically living up to growing expectations, the Tigers

have emerged as a legitimate dark horse national title contender. Clemson may eventually get its chance to make skeptics true believers when they travel to Atlanta late in the season, but overlooking this week’s night game at Maryland would throw an all too familiar wrench into the plans.Next Game: at Maryland (10/15, 7 p.m.)

Florida State (2-3, 0-2 ACC) - “Missed The Boat” by Modest Mouse“Looking towards the future/We were begging for the past/Well we knew we had the good things/But those never seemed to last”

It’s officially time to panic in Tallahassee after three consecutive losses, which nearly eliminates the ‘Noles from Atlantic division contention. E.J. Manuel should have FSU back in the win

column as they travel to Duke, but the preseason favorites to win the conference are in a massive hole.Next Game: at Duke (10/15, 3 p.m.)

Maryland (2-3, 1-1 ACC) - “Dancing in the Dark” by Bruce Springsteen/“You can’t start a fire /You can’t start a fire without a spark/This gun’s for hire even if we’re just dancing in the dark”

It’s been a blatantly hideous and unpredictable start for the Terps, who have ranged from beating Miami and taking Georgia Tech down to wire to getting roasted on its home turf by Temple. Under the hometown lights, Maryland can easily jump back into the conference title race with an upset over undefeated Clemson.Next Game: vs. #8 Clemson (10/15, 7 p.m.)

N.C. State (3-3, 0-2 ACC) - “Stronger” by Kanye West“I need you to hurry up now/ ‘cause I can’t wait much longer/I know I got to be right now/‘cause I can’t get much wronger”

The Pack is off this week and the timing is absolutely crucial. Although Mustafa Greene’s prospects continue to dwindle, the defensive line should offer a much stronger performance down the home stretch. State, headed off for a two game road trip before returning back to Raleigh against UNC, needs to finish 4-2 to become bowl eligible.Next Game: at Virginia (10/22, TBD)

Wake Forest (4-1, 3-0 ACC) - “My Hero” by Foo Fighters

ACC ROUNDUP

ROUND UP continued page 7

Skateboarding club makes positive impact on campus.

Rebecca Fiorentino & Josh Hyatt

Senior Staff Writer & Sports Editor

Members of the skate-boarding club, N.C. Skate, are making the most of the vast amount of bricks around campus by filming a full-length skate video, destined to be called “Brick Magic.” They can be seen almost every day skating around and near the Tri-Tower stairs and near the Free Expression Tunnel, an area affectionately known as the flatspot.

The club currently con-sists of 29 active members, including five females and 24 males, who practice tricks and long jumps for their video in order to have it complete by summer of 2012.

The club calls itself “N.C. Skate,” and making a name for itself has been a huge ac-complishment considering it has only been a club team since August 2009.

Senior in construction engineering and manage-ment and club president Matt Brokaw is happy to fi-nally see the club building and hopes to have an effect on other schools in the area as well.

“Building a name for our-selves with a good reputa-tion has been our biggest accomplishment provided that we are the only skate club of the major univer-sities in North Carolina,” Brokaw said. “But we have

begun to inspire skate clubs in the area by being asked to do demos at schools such as Combs Elementary and at events such as the SparkCon Festival in downtown Raleigh.”

The club normally holds two community-wide skate events per semester. Their most recent event, Game of S.T.A.T.E., was held on Oct. 1, where they raised almost $400 for the Cys-tic Fibrosis Foundation of Ra-leigh. The Campus Recreation Department named N.C. Skate the Community Service Leader of the Year for the 2010-2011 academic year.

The club also competes with the National Collegiate Skate-board Association (NCSA) that holds one national big event every year. The Asso-ciation attempts to bring all of the skateboarding clubs from around the country to one place in hopes of inspiring the development and creation of new university skate clubs. N.C. Skate traveled to the Kona Skate Park in Jacksonville, Fla. to compete in this worldwide event, and three of its top skat-ers made it to the finals and re-ceived the top ten award. This year, the club will travel to Las

Vegas for the competition in April.

With the club earning awards and getting the community involved in philanthropic ac-tivities, the members hope to expand its domain and create an area that they can call their own.

“We are looking to initiate the construction of a skatepark on campus,” Brokaw said, “or even an enclosed area to put ramps and rails. A place like this would help keep skating concentrated to these areas and prevent skate-related damages. It would give us a place to skate

and practice together, a venue to hold events and a great as-pect for the school to promote.”

Brokaw also urges anyone who is interested in joining N.C. Skate to come out and give it a try.

“Dues are $25, but [member-ship] comes with an exclusive N.C. Skate/Brick Magic T-shirt,” Brokaw said. “Mem-bers can be anyone interested in skateboarding, and there is no skill-level or experience required.”
