Student Government teams up with ZSpot to cure ‘empty wallet syndrome.’

Erin SchnuitStaff Writer

Student Government is partnering with the ZSpotCard to bring deals and discounts to N.C. State students for a fraction of the card’s regular cost.

ZSpotCards are $40 to the genera l publ ic and provide dis-counts for over 150 businesses in the Raleigh area. The program is quickly expand-ing and is constantly adding further deals to their list.

The ZSpotCard has been a subsid-iary of ZSpotlight for three years now. ZSpotlight has been in business for the

past ten years and is rapidly growing.“Our mantra is trying to help res-

taurants and area clubs and bars get customers,” Frank Melchior, spokes-man for ZSpot, said. “I want this card to be a win, win, win for everybody — for the students, for the restaurants, for the company. We want restaurants to get more business, and they can do that by offering deals to students who could really use the help.”

Melchior has been working closely with Stu-dent Govern-ment to try and introduce the card to the Wolf-pack by the end of the month. Arrangements have been made with the help of

Student Body President, Chandler Thompson, and Community Out-reach Chair, Collin March, to design a

Free and open-source software company leaving after being located on Varsity Drive since 2002.

Joshua ChappellSenior Staff Writer

Centennial Campus will soon lose one of the world’s most successful companies over the last decade.

Red Hat, known as the world’s lead-ing provider of open source technol-ogy solutions, announced last week they will move their headquarters from their current location on Varsity Drive to the Progress Energy Building in downtown Raleigh.

The company will occupy part of the space that is expected to be created with the merger of Progress Energy and Charlotte-based Duke Energy.

Red Hat officials could not be reached for comment on the decision to move.

Founded in 1993, Red Hat employs over 2,500 people in 58 countries. It has been publicly held since 1999. The company moved from Durham to its current location in 2002.

This move comes amid plans for ex-pansion that the company announced in January. Plans include investing $109 million in expanding the Wake County headquarters, adding 240 jobs over the next four years and adding 300 jobs in 2015, according to WRAL. This would result in an average annual salary of $80,000 to $83,000, which is almost double the average annual sal-ary for Wake County: $42,700.

North Carolina officials said the

total Red Hat expansion is estimated to have an economic impact of $1.5 billion, according to WRAL.

WRAL says there is currently no timeline for the move.

Progress Energy and Duke Energy filed for regulatory approval of the companies on April 4. The newly merged company is expected to relo-cate to Charlotte.

Eric Whitmire, a junior in computer science, said he thinks the Red Hat move will be a significant loss for Cen-

tennial Campus.“Red Hat has helped give Centennial

Campus its reputation as a place for corporations, initiatives and research communities to come together as a community,” Whitmire said. “They were one of the flagship companies of our campus and their relocation rep-resents a significant loss. Hopefully Red Hat’s support will continue and [open source] initiatives will continue to thrive.”

Carol Burton graduated from N.C.

State in 2010 with degrees in busi-ness management and accounting. She held the position of internal audit intern at Red Hat in 2008. She thinks the move will actually benefit students and the community.

“By moving to the Progress Energy building, Red Hat will have more space to hire more State graduates and provide more employment op-portunities to the Raleigh commu-

Red Hat to leave Centennial

The North Carolina Museum of Art is temporarily hosting 10 sculptures by French artist Rodin.

Elise HeglarDeputy News Editor

The North Carolina Museum of Art is temporarily hosting ten sculptures by French artist Rodin after Iris Can-tor, of the Cantor Foundation, offered to lend them out.

The sculptures were originally housed in Cantor’s previous resi-dence but could not fit into her new residence. When she found out space was an issue, she offered to loan the sculptures to the art museum.

Prior to lending out the Rodin sculptures, the Cantor Foundation had made a generous donation to the museum that included 29 Rodin pieces.

“Since she was so very happy about the way we had set up the previous sculptures, she offered to lend us the ones she couldn’t fit in her house,” Da-vid Steel, a curator for the museum, said.

The ten sculptures that are being lent are related to other Rodin pieces the museum already has on display, Steel said. Eight of the sculptures will be displayed inside and two of them will be on display in an outdoor gar-den.

“They look good in the new building because they’re lit by the sun and that’s what Rodin wanted people to see, so that’s how they’re being shown,” Steel said.

Though the lending is currently only set to last six months for two pieces and one year for the other eight, Steel said he hopes those dates will be changed.

“It’s a not-so-secret wish of mine that she’ll like how they’re installed so much that she lets us keep them,” Steel said.

The museum receives loaned items

from people on a fairly regular basis, but this is the biggest one they have ever had according to Maggie Gregory, chief registrar at the museum.

“It’s unusual in the volume and the quality of the art,” Gregory said.

Steel is hoping to receive further do-

nations of this caliber in the future. He said the museum is always open to new pieces and makes sure to take great care of those they have.

“I’m hoping that Mrs. Cantor’s

Registration opens for DELTA seminars meant to improve distance and technology assisted education.

Nick TranStaff Writer

University faculty, staff and graduate students were able to reg-ister for Distance Education and Learning Technology Applications seminars beginning this week.

The seminars and workshops, designed to improve online edu-cation practices, will be held in the Information Technologies Teaching Center labs in D.H. Hill Library beginning Sept. 6.

The workshops, which are listed on the University’s DELTA website, include introductory topics such as basic web page creation and using Moodle and WolfWare, and higher level topics like teaching an online course and creating web videos.

According to the DELTA site, the most advanced topics seek to expand the trainee’s knowledge of web-based instructional strategies

card especially for students that will make available the same discounts as the origi-nal card.

The Wolfpack card will not only be decked-out in State colors, but it will also be sold for 75 percent of the normal cost. Starting Sept. 14 in the brickyard, cards will be sold at the Student Government tent for $10. This buys students and entire year of savings on a variety of products.

Local businesses such as Moe’s, Bruegger’s Bagels, Chick-fil-A, Port City Java, Hot Box Pizza and many more are offering signifi-cant discounts on pur-chases. The discounts don’t stop at dining opportuni-ties, however, and there are many offers involving local gyms and salons. Even the Carolina Ballet is partici-pating by offering buy one, get one free tickets to their show.

March thinks the pro-gram is an excellent idea and that it will be a great way to build better relation-ships with businesses in the area. March is also excited about all the benefits stu-dents will receive from the cards.

“So many students stay on campus with their meal plans but this card gets them out in the community and supporting local busi-ness,” March said.

The ZSpot group is funded entirely by the money they receive selling cards, and does not accept any money from the busi-

nesses with which it collabo-rates. ZSpot is donating one dollar for every card sold to the Coaches Corner program, which is trying to add another statue in front of Reynolds Coliseum.

March said Student Govern-ment is going to be doing a spe-cial program during the week of the Shack-A-Thon.

“We’ll be selling cards the week of the Shack-A-Thon and will be forwarding all our prof-its from the week to Habitat for Humanity,” March said.

Students are excited about the upcoming opportunity and seem to think that the card will be a great tool for them.

“I think the card is an awe-some idea,” Morgan Piner, a sophomore in marine science, said. “Real food at affordable prices will be such an upgrade from ramen.”

The discounted price of the card will only be available to students, which especially ap-peals to Aaron Cook, a sopho-more in human biology, who said broke college students need all the help they can get.

The card will be available ev-ery Wednesday after Sept. 14 in the Brickyard at the Student Government tent. Businesses and deals are added almost daily.

nity,” Burton said.She also said that the

move could create a new op-portunity for the University.

“[The move] also pro-vides another opportunity for the University to create a partnership with a differ-ent company that can learn how valuable State gradu-ates can be to a company,” Burton said.

Whitmire said he does not think the relocation will have a negative effect on the ability of students to seek in-ternships at the company.

“Since [Red Hat] is re-maining within Raleigh, I can’t imagine that [the move] would dissuade too many applicants,” Whit-mire said.

Burton said that while her decision to initially apply for an internship at Red Hat in 2008 was not greatly af-fected by the location of the company, it did play a role at the end of her internship.

“I started as a summer in-tern, but because of the con-venience and proximity to campus, it was easy to con-tinue working during the school year,” Burton said.

Burton said her internship provided great opportuni-ties to students.

“My internship was not just a job, but an excellent learning experience,” Bur-ton said. “Not every intern-ship gives you the opportu-nity to sit down with the Chief Financial Officer in a one-on-one meeting, or the opportunity to meet with the Chief Executive Officer and ask any question we had,” Burton said.

generosity will inspire more people to donate in the future,” Steel said.

Including the loaned items, the museum will have 39 Ro-din sculptures on site. They are excited to feature such a promi-nent artist, according to Steel.

“He’s an interesting, creative and innovative artist,” Gregory

said.The sculptures go on display

Friday for the first time. Steel said the museum is very ex-cited to have everything open and officially available to the public.

“Art is the doorway into hu-man condition and human creativity. People in North Carolina are fortunate to have such a fabulous collection, and it’s free for them to see at any time,” Steel said.

Marcelo Alvarado, a junior in

mechanical engineering, said having constant updates in the museum is something he ap-preciates as a visitor.

“It keeps everything fresh for people that live around here. It’s cool to see new stuff every time you go,” Alvarado said.

Alvarado said that he enjoys visiting the museum to get away from campus when he needs a change of scenery.

“It’s a good way to escape campus. It’s really peaceful and pretty — great way to get

outside with all your friends and just chill on a sunny day,” Alvarado said.

and multimedia development.Donna Petherbridge, associ-

ate vice provost of DELTA in-structional support services, said the seminar series is not only about distance education, but rather teaching faculty how to use technology. Petherbridge has also taught a distance edu-cation class.

“There are no requirements for faculty who teach online to take [DELTA] training,” Petherbridge said. “The classes are open to faculty — wteach-ing technology topics [such as] how to set up courses or a Moodle quiz, creating online groups and forums.”

According to Petherbridge, there is a focus on training in technology provided by Enter-prise which includes the digital

platforms WolfWare, Moodle and in-class technologies such as clickers and SMART Boards.

“We want people to be famil-iar with the Enterprise technol-ogy,” Petherbridge said. “The workshops focus on the best practices with the technology.”

Distance learning through technology is an option which appealed to Chase Platz, a ju-nior in nuclear engineering, who could not be on campus for classes. Platz took distance education courses in introduc-tion to computing, Java and philosophy of ethics.

“It was helpful because I didn’t have to be on campus,” Platz said. “I found a job else-where and [distance education] worked well with my schedule and the credits transferred.”

Platz said, however, despite the use of technology, students probably learn more in physical classes.

“It was really slack,” he

said. “It was pretty straightfor-ward; we watched videos and took tests. There wasn’t any proctoring and it was difficult to have any interaction hearing the lecture on a computer.”

As far as improving the ap-plications of technology, Platz said more online forums would be beneficial and the instruc-tors could use some sort of chat like Skype to communicate with students.

Lydia Bravo-Taylor, a junior in sociology, said having some form of communication with the instructor is important.

“You can’t really ask ques-tions,” she said. “It would be good if you could Skype the professor, but I guess the point is the professor can’t be there.”

Bravo-Taylor said it can be harder to grasp information because the lectures can be very fast and minds tend to wander more in front of a computer.

“It would make a huge dif-

ference if you could send in your questions at the end of the lecture and get a quicker response from the professor,” Bravo-Taylor said.

Petherbridge said her ex-perience teaching a distance education class was extremely interactive and personable. She often got feedback comment-ing her course was one of the most interactive.

“I felt like I knew the stu-dents very well,” she said. “The amount of work [submitted] and feedback [given] allowed me to know students’ work very well.”

Petherbridge said she made time to meet locally with stu-dents within driving distance. For students who could not come to campus, she held meetings through Elluminate, a web conferencing program which participants in the DEL-TA workshops are also being trained in.

Yashar Kasebi, a senior in paper science engineering, took distance education com-munication for engineering and technology. He said the experience was very interactive.

“It’s more responsibility be-cause they throw you assign-ments and you keep track of it on your own,” Kasebi said. “But the professor was really good at providing feedback and the forums allowed students talk about readings, trade docu-ments and do peer reviews.”

Kasebi said the course made use of Elluminate to facilitate communication, but he did not personally use it.

“The professor encouraged students to call her so she could get a feel for who the person is and held office hours with voice chat,” Kasebi said. “Everything I needed was there.”

{ }Our view

Even prior to kickoff, there are concerns sur-rounding N.C. State

football. With an unbounded potential to achieve greatness, it is uncertain if we as a Uni-versity show up this season and take what is ours.

State football ended last sea-son with a record of 9-4, fin-ishing 25th in the AP poll. Undoubtedly, last season was successful; however, now is not a time to rest on our laurels.

With UNC-Chapel Hill, Mi-ami, and Georgia Tech all hav-ing less than NCAA-compliant programs in the past year, State is primed to become the bea-con of light in the tarnished ACC. This pursuit begins starts tomorrow at 6 p.m. against Liberty.

Each year it seems we get sidetracked in our quest for the

Bowl College Series as all the passion that builds prior to the college football season is lost in the lackluster schedule we face in our first couple of games.

By the time we need it, our appetite for football is often lost or sorely diminished. This year, let’s try something differ-ent: maintaining our passion through the whole football season.

The fervor must first come from the fans. The fans serve to energise the team and the community; therefore, the first step to this is constant sellouts. We should be embarrassed that this game is not sold out.

Students around campus should be kicking themselves

for not being at their computer at 12:01 a.m. to request a tick-et, not strolling in on game day and feeling as if they are doing their friends a favor by going. These games are a privilege; do not take them for granted.

When at the game, even when up by 20 points, do not sit or leave as has been a custom in years past. No student would be found sitting down or leav-ing a game against Florida State or Virginia Tech up 20 in the second half. This passion cannot change against lesser-known teams.

The issue of sportsman-ship aside, there is good to be found in never letting off an opponent. Cheer for a 70 point

victory if given the opportu-nity. Greatness has never been achieved in letting off the gas.

With the fans bringing the fe-rocity, it is up players to bring the fury. We are giving you four quarters of intensity, and we expect the same from the play-ers. This idea is not only rooted in reciprocity.

If you only play for a half it’ll be seen when you need to play a whole game.

Play tomorrow’s game with perspective of the whole season in mind. To go easy in tomor-row’s game sets a dangerous precedent for the entire season.

Let’s maintain the tsunami of passion that is currently build-ing strength as kickoff ap-proaches through our opening games. If we do, we will not be found lacking when it is actu-ally needed.

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.

Show up and stayThe FacTs:This weekend marks the beginning of the 2011 college football season. N.C. State kicks off the football season tomorrow at 6 p.m. against Liberty University.

Our OpiniOn:The potential for State’s football program to succeed this year is great. However, there cannot be success without passion, an attribute that has faded in years past due to the opening schedule.

Let them think green

Earlier this week, David Hyman, my econom-ics professor who has

a penchant for playing music in his classes, decided to play

“G o o d D a y Sunshine” at the start of the class. He added later, in a light-

er vein, that after a week that saw earthquakes and hurri-canes and rains, even the hot sun made for good company. Indeed.

The sun is and will always re-main the earth’s biggest source of energy, keeping us warm and well-fed by helping us grow our food. Today, technology has made it possible for us to store the sun’s energy and use it to produce electricity, drive cars and even use calculators. However, a lot of real problems exist in the economic feasibil-ity of harnessing the power of the sun.

The economic feasibility, and possibly other reasons, have led the Uni-versity clos-ing of t he N.C . St ate Solar House “unt i l f ur-ther notice.” The Nor t h Carolina So-la r House , located at the McKimmon Conference Center, has been closed since July due to budget cuts. The University has made no announcements about the Solar House’s possible reopen-ing in the near or distant fu-ture. While this decision may be helping the University save some badly needed capital, it robs campus of one of its few institutions that could repre-sent our interest in alternative energy.

Come to think of it, the campus does not have a single “green” landmark that show-cases our prowess and interest in climate change to visitors and students alike.

To its credit, Student Govern-ment has not let the debate die down completely, and by orga-nizing its annual “Think Out-side the Brick” competition—accompanied by a winning prize of $1000—is encourag-ing students to do just that. The competition is organized by the Sustainability Commission of the Student Government and aims to recognize student ideas that help promote sustainabil-ity on campus. It also provides funding for a potential imple-

mentation of these projects on campus once the results are announced.

But just organizing the com-petition and rewarding the in-terest will not be enough. Ideas that are not implemented can deprive us of unaccounted benefits.

Last year, the winning entry was for a solar gazebo, which has remained just that—a win-ning entry. A Google search for “NCSU solar gazebo” barely shows one relevant results page. The first entry is by the College of Natural Resources “News Central” and the tenth is the Technician’s interview with the contest winners. Strewn in between are the websites of companies selling gazebos and solar electric appliances, accompanied by an occasional book review.

The year before, the contest was more productive. The con-test resulted in the University helping to set up the SOUL

Garden—a commu-nity garden managed by the students where they can grow and eat their own produce. But where is it? Next to the dam at Lake

Raleigh on Centennial Cam-pus. Hidden from sight. Invis-ible on Google Maps.

Statistics like 60 percent of the research on campus being related to energy mean little if students can’t even see a single physical manifestation of this effort on campus. I ask the University to please give us something to constantly look at, play with, dabble in, some-thing that will remind us how important this issue is. Let the Red and White think about go-ing green.

Hopefully in the years ahead the University can free up some spots between Centennial and Carter-Finley that will help our students think more and more about climate change and the importance of sustainable development. Not only that, it will also help proclaim to ob-servers that the University is a progressive place and is serious about solving the challenges of the 21st century.

Does college depress you?With the pressure

to make good grades and form

relationships, the rising cost of tuition and the as-signments college students

constantly face, it is no wonder so many stu-

dents have experienced some form of depression in their first few years of col-lege.

Depression and college tend to go hand in hand. When you come to college, you encounter a drastically new environment, and the resulting stress can lead to depression. A lot of college students are ignorant to the fact they might have depres-sion or depressive episodes, as the common belief is it only happens to “crazy” people.

College has always been pitched as the time of your life, a time for you to grow up, become independent and do things you have al-ways wanted to do. In many ways, college is this time, but perhaps it is a little too much for first year students.

When I came to college, I was not surprised that my classes were much harder than my high school ’s classes, or that I was now at a school with more than 30,000 people. But, like most incoming freshmen, I was not prepared for the re-ality of having all this pres-sure on my back and trying

to find my place at such a large university. For some reason I believed the transition would be much easier than it actually has been.

N.C. State does a wonderful job of making students feel at home through all the programs and the amount of organiza-tions on campus. But since the school is so large, there are plenty of students who get lost along the way.

There is a very welcom-ing counsel-ing center on campus for t hose who a re hav ing t rouble i n their l ives . Students dealing with issues such as depression are common on col lege campuses. A study from the American College Health As-sociation in 2000 said 10 per-cent of college students have been diagnosed with depres-sion. And the National Mental Health Association quotes a study saying 30 percent of col-lege freshmen report feeling overwhelmed a great deal of the time.

Still, students who deal with feelings of depression will probably never use the counsel-ing center, because to this day the word depression has a lot of humiliation and disgraced attached to it. This is unfortu-nate for those students who are

depressed to the point where they don’t want to get out of bed.

It is natural for students at any college to feel home-sick or just have a bad day, but once a bad day becomes a bad week and then a bad month, it is time to do something about it. One of the least talked about issues that many incoming fresh-men experience is a sense of

being lost and hav-ing feelings of depres-sion.

In col-lege you c ome to a p l a c e where you know few, if any, peo-ple ; you basically h a v e t o

start over, form a new group of friends and get acquaint-ed with a completely differ-ent environment. College is tough. If you or anyone you know is having trouble cop-ing with the stresses of col-lege life, or having feelings of depression, let them know there are places on campus where they can get help, and that there are people there to listen.

FeaturesHopscotch brings local and international talent to the City of Oaks.

Sarah GuizardCorrespondent

Bands would stop by Ra-leigh on occasion to play at a venue—perhaps the Lincoln Theater or the Raleigh Am-phitheater—but as a music destination, Raleigh was no Woodstock. And then came Hopscotch.

This three-day event fea-turing more than 135 bands is returning to Raleigh for its second year.

But coordinating and bring-ing together all this entertain-ment takes a full time job. GregLowen-hagen came to Ra le ig h t w o y e a r s ago dream-ing of such an event—and then he tea med up with Grayson Currin from the Indepen-dent Weekly execute the plan.

According to Lowenhagen, the festival is only expected to climb higher in ranks as a must-see music event of the year, after a successful first year.

The festival got its start when Lowenhagen returned to the Triangle area to work for theIndependent Weekly, a tabloid distributed throughout the Triangle. Lowenhagen said he embraced the music and downtown scene and noticed the great talent and heritage of Raleigh.

“[I] put this music festival together mostly for selfish rea-sons so I could have something really cool to look forward to,” Lowenhagen said.

With a colorful combina-tion of every g e n r e t h e music scene has to offer, there rea l ly is something for everyone to enjoy, ac-cord i ng to Lowenhagen. The list in-cludes folk, indie, rock, pop, hip-hop,

classical, alt-country and other obscure genres.

According to Lowenhagen, Hopscotch will feature 40 per-cent local talent to highlight and work alongside the 60 per-cent national and international musicians.

Considering how many per-formances there are, it would be impossible to see them all. A few of Lowenhagen’s per-sonal highlights include a mix of bands that each have their own sound.

One show he said he recom-mends to see is the band Cold

Cave from New York, NY.Currin, also music editor of

the Independent Weekly, de-scribed their sound as “bril-liant dance music, resplendent pop.” Cold Cave will have a late performance at the Pour House Friday Sept. 9 at 12:30 a.m.

Another of Lowenhagen’s highlights is the trio from Sydney, Australia called The Necks. Regarding its style, Currin described this experi-mental jazz trio’s live as “two of the best hours of music I have ever heard.”

This newest addition to the Hopscotch venue list will play at Fletcher Opera Hall Sept. 8 at 11 p.m.

Lowenhagen’s third pick

is a lineup including shows by the Dreamers of the Ghetto,Superchunk and the Flaming Lips, playing at the Raleigh City Plaza Sept. 10 at 5:45 p.m.

After packing more than 48 million meals, Stop Hunger Now has to get them out of Raleigh and abroad.

Nishanth CoontoorCorrespondent

More than 600 volunteers, mostly students, gathered to package 103,506 meals Aug. 20 at the Service N.C. State event to send to Swaziland—but after the volunteers left Carmichael Gymnasium, someone else had to take care of getting the meals to Africa.

Stop Hunger Now is an inter-national hunger relief organi-zation that coordinates the dis-tribution of food and other life-saving aid around the world. It packages meals for orphanages and school feeding programs and has provided meals to 76 countries worldwide including Uganda, Pakistan and Colom-bia. A total of 221,900 meals have been packed this week. The non-profit has packed 48,026,504 meals since its in-ception in 2005.

NCSU has hosted Stop Hun-

ger Now in conjunction with Service N.C. State for the past six years and together have packaged 1.8 million meals.

“The event witnessed chil-dren, students across majors, youth programs and organiza-tions, scouts and even senior citizens volunteer to package meals,” Tierza Watts, associ-ate director of CSLEPS, said. “According to theFAO in 2009, 25,000 people that include both adults and children die every day from hunger and related causes. When this is the sce-nario, this initiative was just the right thing to do.”

According to Jan Rivero, the University program director of Stop Hunger Now, the program perfected the assembly process that combines rice, soy, dehy-drated vegetables and a flavor-ing mix including 21 essential vitamins and minerals into small meal packets.

“Each meal costs only 25 cents,” Rivero said. “The food stores easily, and has a shelf life of five years and transports quickly. Each bag contains six servings.”

According to Rivero, research

has shown that one in three people in developing countries are adversely affected by vita-min and mineral deficiencies.

Once taking food from the packaging site to the ware-house, the organization sends it to partner organizations or government programs on the ground in hunger-aff licted countries. These partner orga-nizations pay for the shipping costs, evening out the effort.

Three senior from the College of Design post banners on the corner of Davie and McDowell Streets.

Caroline McCartyCorrespondent

For seniors Joe Lawson, Jordan Deva and Justin Phillips, showing off their artistic abilities on a larger than life scale is no sweat.

This triple threat, also known as “The Balloon Boys” or “Team Triple J”, was recently chosen during a competition held within the College of Design to have their artwork displayed on a two-year-old parking deck at the corner of McDowell and Davie streets in down-town Raleigh.

The talented seniors, all studying art and design, were given a unique oppor-tunity to compete for a chance to have their artwork displayed on 15 separate 60 feet by 21 feet banners wrapping around two sides of the parking deck owned by Wake County.

The goal is to make the park ing deck more attractive to the public until Empire Properties can con-tinue construction on the new L Building, a soon-to-be office building with retail on the bottom floor.

When Empire Properties approached the Department of Art and Design, Professor Charles Joyner, Associate Professor Pat Fitzgerald and Assistant Professor McArthur Freeman headed a competition, requesting submissions of ideas from small teams of both under-graduate and graduate students.

“We really just wanted to have a lot of fun with it, whether we won or not,” Phillips said.

During the design process this past spring, the boys took the required di-mensions into consideration and began brainstorming ideas.

“We knew it needed to be a panorama, but also be 15 individual pieces,” Deva

said. “We threw out a lot of ideas of how we could treat it and have it be success-ful in that format.”

“We were really excited to have an op-portunity to get our work out there,” Phillips said.

The teams were given ten days to come up with their concepts, and ended up entering two original submissions into the competition. After several weeks of judging, “The Balloon Boys” -- named after the incorporation of life-size im-ages of themselves floating on balloons within the design -- triumphed over the competition and were chosen as a win-ning team.

However, Empire Properties was un-sure of which of the boys’ two first place designs they wanted to adorn the park-ing deck walls.

The trio then underwent about a month of primary creation, meetings and changes to their final design, in-

cluding the combina-tion of the two original works.

“We knew the expo-sure was going to be big,” Lawson said, who was interested in tak-ing on the project from the beginning because of its size and location.

“The Fantastic Sky Race,” as the f inal product was named, features 15 banners each hung one foot

apart. Though each banner has its own unique background and color scheme, the design is unified and moves around the parking deck, featuring characters of both the animal and human species.

“There is a level of anticipation going around the corner,” Deva said, “It’s easy for people to look at it for a while and kind of create their own story.”

August 5 brought a reception for the newest creative edition to downtown Raleigh. People gathered at the park-ing deck to hear speeches, ask questions about the artwork, pose for photo ops and discuss the art process with Law-son, Deva and Phillips.

“My favorite part was working with two of my friends, but coming up with the entire concept was a blast,” Lawson

said.With the new office building still in

the works, it is uncertain how long the banners will grace the city of Raleigh. However, city inhabitants are already enjoying its presence.

“What I’ve noticed over and over again,” Deva said, “is that it really grows on people.”

“If it wasn’t for the University, we wouldn’t have had the opportunity,” Phillips said. “I hope the first thing [people] do is smile and just really en-joy it.”

hunger is the single point where we can leverage relief for all hu-manitarian issues,” she said.

According to Rivero, provid-ing a hot meal during school gives parents an incentive to send their children to school.

“Children seem to have high-er levels of concentration, and are developing more normally,” Rivero said. “The program has long lasting impacts--girls are likely to stay in school longer, a decreased childhood mortal-

ity rate, gender equality. The cycle of poverty can begin to be broken. These children will then give back to their com-munities.”

But the organization shares a “special relationship with N.C. State,” according to Rivero.

“One must educate them-selves on the facts on hunger,” Rivero said. “A review of the World Food Programme con-ducted by the United Nations will give this information. There is enough food to feed everyone. The last phase is the act of taking part or organizing an event such as a meal packag-ing program.”

Men’s and women’s club soccer recruiting through preseason training.

Rishav DeyStaff Writer

Two of the most competi-tive club sports – men’s and women’s soccer – are finally getting ready to begin the new season. The men’s club soccer team, which had an undefeated spring season and the women’s club soccer team are both con-ducting tryouts, building their teams in order to again chal-lenge for top honors this sea-son.

Richard Mallory, senior and captain of the men’s team, ac-knowledged the specific type of players they seek while con-ducting tryouts.

“We look for a high level of play,” Mallory said. “A lot of players out here have played varsity [in high school]. Sadly, we don’t look at any experience of players that are trying to kick around. We have been ranked nationally over the last couple of years, so it’s almost varsity level of play.”

Ally Mitchell, senior and vice president of the women’s club soccer team, kept her recruit-ing strategy simple.

“We are looking for players that are competitive and dedi-cated,” Mitchell said.

Both Mitchell and Mallory are excited at the prospect of playing different tournaments in the upcoming semester, many of which have now be-

come annual events for both teams.

“We are planning on going to Virginia Tech, which is the tournament we go to every year,” Mitchell said. “We also plan on going to the regional soccer tournament in South Carolina this year, and that is a big tournament for every team in our region.”

“We are in the Southeast [Collegiate] Soccer Alliance with Clem-son, Coastal Carolina, Du ke , a nd Chapel Hill,” Mallory said. “We go to Clemson and play in a soc-cer tourna-ment there, and then we have a re-gional tour-nament from where you qualify for the na-tionals in Phoenix.”

Mallory highlighted the im-pact the club team had on the lives of the players at the ho-listic level.

“Club soccer is great because it’s almost like a fraternity. I hang out with the guys I play with, we are great friends, we are traveling together, spend-ing lots of time together,” Mal-lory said. “It looks great on the resume, we participate in community service and we do fundraising. So there are more aspects than just playing. It is a group thing. We work together to do a lot of different stuff.”

With both of the club teams now being able to practice on the Method Road fields, Mitch-ell felt very positive about the change.

“The field conditions are so much better than the Miller fields,” she said. “The Miller fields were like a dust bowl, we were playing on dirt.”

Mallory expressed his grati-tude toward club sports and ex-pressed the strong relationship

they shared with his team.

“They got us the field. W h at e l s e do we need? We work re-ally well with club sports, they do a lot for us,” Mal-lory said. “We had budget cuts, which has hurt us a

lot. We have had to pay a lot more from our pockets, but other than that we work very well with administration.”

Savannah Grandy, a fresh-man in life science and one of the many that attended tryouts, seemed excited about the pros-pect of playing for the club.

“Soccer has always been a big part of my life and I want to keep it that way,” Grandy said. “It would mean a lot to me to be part of the team because even in just playing around with the girls I can tell how it is so im-portant to them. They are all very good players and I know I would become a better player

by playing with them.”Grandy was also optimistic

about getting to know the cur-rent players.

“Hopefully, they can help me, as they have already been in my shoes as a freshman trying to adjust to the college life and new responsibilities,” Grandy said.

However, Grandy also had some reservations about join-ing the team because of the time commitment.

“I don’t want playing soccer to distract me from my stud-ies,” Grandy said. “Hopefully, I will learn to balance my time better through playing. I want-ed to try out to see how it goes and whether it will be right for me this year.”

Sevket Imamoglu, an inter-national student from Turkey, tried out as well.

“In Turkey we play as a team. But here they play more indi-vidually, not as a team,” Ima-moglu said. “So in the trials I couldn’t play my best as we make more passes in my team in Turkey.”

Imamoglu also felt that as an international student who has played a lot of soccer before, the members of the club team weren’t particularly excited to have him.

“They were good,” Imamo-glu said, “but I can’t say they encouraged me to join.”

The men’s and the women’s club teams currently practice on the Method Road fields be-tween 5 and 9 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays.

the receiver’s hands.“Mike’s passes are crisp,

so the passing game is crisp, that’s really all there is to it,” Graham said. “The ball will be there for us, we just have to catch it.”

Glennon may be the star quarterback for the Pack, but Liberty’s signal-caller is no slouch. Mike Brown, a three-time captain and two-time Big South pre-season offensive player of the year, is a 6-foot, 1-inch quarterback who may re-mind a lot of State fans of another quarterback with a slightly smaller build than the norm.

Brown passed for 2,956 yards along with 854 yards rushing in his junior season. The Charlottesville, Va. na-tive may be worrisome for the Pack on the offensive side of the ball, but defen-sively, look no further than 6-foot, 5-inch, 380-pound defensive l ineman Asa Chapman.

At the Division I-AA level, the Flames have been on fire. They have won the last four straight Big South con-ference titles and compiled an 8-3 record last season.

While Glennon knows the threat of players like Chap-man and Brown on the oth-er side of the ball, he said he plans to go out to the field focused on one thing.

“I just want to compete and get a win,” Glennon said. “I don’t care how we do it. Hopefully get my first win as a starter and move on to week two.”

Another headline for State in the last week has been the announcement of junior James Washington as the starting running back on the depth chart. After it

was released that sophomore Mustafa Greene would have to undergo foot surgery in the offseason and would not return until early October, the posi-tion appeared to be up for grabs for Washington or redshirt se-nior Curtis Underwood, Jr.

Though speculation may have been swirling as to which of the running backs would re-ceive the starting nod, Wash-ington said he felt the starting job was his from the opening of camp.

“I started off [in the spring] as the starter,” Washington said. “So hearing that I’m the starter tells me that I’ve held down my position throughout training camp.”

Last year at this time, it was believed that Washing-ton would be the starter by media outlets coming out of practice. But after a hamper-ing hamstring issue held him out of the first five weeks, two inexperienced running backs, Dean Haynes and Greene, took over the duties in the backfield.

This year, though, Washing-ton said he is content with his position on the team.

“It’s reassuring to know that I was able to hold down my spot,” Washington said. “Last year I wasn’t able to hold up because of injuries and other stuff. It’s a big relief. Last year it was really tough having to sit out and watch other players take over.”

While players under coach Tom O’Brien never look ahead to future games, Glennon had a bold statement to make about this season for the Pack.

“I don’t see any reason why we can’t win them all,” Glen-non said. “I mean, I know that’s a big statement, but I think it’s a legitimate statement. We have the talent and we have put in the work. There’s not a game on the schedule that I think we can’t win.”

Quarterback Russell Wil-son certainly made a pleas-ant first impression on the Badger fans Thursday night during the Wisconsin sea-son opener against UNLV. Before being subbed out of the game with a little over two minutes left in the third quarter, Russell led the Badger offense to a 51-3 lead over the Rebels at Camp Randall Stadium.

Wilson completed nearly 77 percent of his passes on the night, covering 255 yards in less than three quarters of play. Perhaps his greatest play of the night came from his 46-yard rush

into the endzone, setting a new personal record for Wilson’s highest career long rush.

Fans seem to be torn between their anger in Wilson’s depar-ture and whether or not they would like to see him success-ful as a Badger after abandon-

ing the Wolfpack. One thing’s for sure – the NCSU football program is no longer the ‘Wil-son Show.’ Come Saturday, it’s Mike Glennon’s turn in the driver’s seat and primetime to prove his worth.

Football returns to Carter-Finley with a reloaded offense.

Ohio State, North Caro-lina State, Miami, Georgia Tech and a myriad of other collegiate football programs have stolen the headlines nationally from what might be one of the biggest stories of the year.

Former quarterback Rus-sell Wilson is now a Badger, and has his first career win away from N.C. State.

That story has stolen the local headlines away from players who are stepping up on the offensive side of the ball for the Wolfpack this season.

An early season football matchup against Liberty may not draw attention like a matchup between No. 3 Oregon and No. 4 LSU. But on Saturday, all eyes will be focused on the 6-foot, 6-inch redshirt junior quar-terback Mike Glennon, who has been praised by coaches and players alike to perform as well as, if not better, than Wilson.

Senior wide receiver T.J. Graham said his under-standing of Glennon should help them in difficult situa-tions throughout the game.

“He knows what I like to do and I know what he wants to do,” Graham said.

“So if a play starts breaking down, I know what he wants me to do and I know where the ball’s going. That relationship should show on the field this year, so it’s going to be really fun.”

While Glennon may be the focal point for local and national media outlets, his

teammates know they have to step up as a team to help take the pressure off him.

Graham said Glennon has been performing well, but the key component to the passing game running smoothly will rely solely in

Players to watch for:N.C. State

Senior quarterback Mike Glennon: Very few people on the field will be attracting as much attention as that drawn by Mike Glennon. In his first career start at the collegiate level, Glennon will be looking to prove himself at the quarterback position. In his small amount of game play experience in 2010, Glennon had a 69.2 passing completion percentage with a 119.6 passer rating.Senior wide receiver T.J. Graham: Graham will seek to fill the void in the wide receiver role left by former players Owen Spencer and Jarvis Williams. In his 2010 campaign, Graham averaged 12.6 yards per reception from his 25 total receptions on the season. Graham has yet to fully prove himself in the wide receiver role but after the preseason, Graham is aiming to impress.
