He was creating artwork in the gallery Wednesday afternoon. One of his pieces depicting an ideal college courtyard hung on the wall of the art collective. He said he welcomed the change a renovation of the block would bring. “It’s a great idea. It will improve Hillsborough Street, and certainly the University is committed to that. It will be a great project,” Harris said. The goal of acquiring and accepting proposals for property development was not only to make a profitable business decision, but also to continue the facelift Hillsborough Street has experienced over the past couple years, according to Leffler. “We have a long-standing interest and support of helping Hillsborough Street rejuvenate itself and become a more viable business district,” Leffler said. “The goal is to create the demand and to create a desire for the destination that has other businesses wanting to be on the street.” The development is the latest in a multimillion dollar series of changes to Hillsborough Street, the most recent of which occurred between Concord Street and Friendly Street, where businesses like The Brewery were destroyed to make room for a new parking deck, apartments and retail stores. Prior to that, in 2009, the city renovated the entire street by widening it, building a median and roundabouts.

Ashley Simons-Rudolf, the new director for the University Women’s Center (pictured right,) talks with Joanne Woodard, Vice Provost for Institutional Equity and Diversity, at the Women and Gender Studies and The NCSU Women’s Center open house on Wednesday. The event took place in Talley.
Women’s Center sees new director Incoming director to increase outreach efforts and bring international presence. Justin Rose Deputy News Editor
The N.C. State Women’s Center, located in Talley Student Center, will have new leadership August 31 in the form of Ashley SimonsRudolph, an NCSU alumna and a graduate of the psychology and women’s and gender studies departments. Simons-Rudolph said her goals for the semester are primarily outreach-oriented. She went on to say campus advocacy efforts will include programs for The Movement: Ending Interpersonal Violence, training more students, faculty and staff advocates for the Relation-
ship and Sexual Violence Phone line, and presenting the Chocolate Festival in September, which supports breast cancer education and the Kay Yow/ WBCA Cancer Fund. “I have been passionate about equality ever since I can remember,” Simons-Rudolph said. “And I have worked on a variety of equality related projects ranging from assisting children to violent homes, helping mothers overcome substance use addictions and researching men’s role in slowing the HIV epidemic in Africa.” Rudolph-Simons got to speak with students most of them in women and gender studies, which she teaches through distance education at an open house in Talley Wednesday evening. Jennifer Castillo, who has served as assistant director for programs since June 2010, had the chance to meet Simons-Rudolph prior to the open house and described her as “incredibly astute, energetic and ambitious.”
NOW OPEN LATER! Mon - Thurs 8am to 8pm Friday 8am to 6pm Saturday 10am to 4pm
“She will be an incredible leader for our team and a tremendous asset to NCSU overall,” Castillo said. “I also know she’ll bring a stronger research background and international experience which will be genuine assets.” Castillo said teamwork will be essential this semester amongst all the changes in personnel and space. The center will move to Harrelson this December because of Talley renovations. Also new to the center is Abigail Conley, a doctoral student in the Counselor Education Program Conley started as a volunteer last spring as a counselor working as an advocate for the Relationship and Sexual Violence Phone line, a crisis hotline that let’s victims of interpersonal violence call in for assistance or counseling. “I want to look for ways to use my counseling skills as a volunteer,”

effective as it has had an important effect on her personal drinking habits. “I was too terrified to even have a sip of alcohol [before driving], and I think a lot of people felt the same way,” Robinson said. “There was too much risk. “As much as we all say we’ll be OK to have one beer and drive, I see it can definitely get me arrested,” Robinson said. “That’s a risk I’m not willing to take.” Robinson went on to say the program’s most effective result will be achieved by setting examples. “Even though this program will probably hurt a lot of people with jail and suspension

The office’s fairly casual atmosphere helps invite students in, according to Montgomery, but she said she thinks some confusion should still be cleared up. “There’s the common misconception that you only need to come there if you’ve been raped or assaulted, which is not true,” Montgomery said. “We have many programs, like the Chocolate Festival, that aren’t rape/assault related.” In terms of different action to take besides advocacy, Montgomery said she hopes to be more directly involved in women’s shelters in Raleigh.

According to Barnwell, this program is just one way that campus police seeks to combat drunken driving and ensure responsible decision-making. “[Campus police] takes every opportunity to engage our students in conversations about responsible decision-making and how certain behaviors and decisions can impact students for the rest of their lives,” Barnwell said. “Hopefully, our education outside the classroom is allowing our student body to be knowledgeable of the impact of risky behaviors.”

Freshmen fifteen woes are avoidable Buffet-style dining halls are not the only responsible factors behind the freshman fifteen. Nishanth Coontoor Correspondent
alcohol
Freshmen are in for good news: the weight gain due to the notorious freshman fifteen during a student’s first year at college may perhaps be a myth. “The freshman fifteen is a concept or an idea in which people believe freshmen put on an additional fifteen pounds,” Dr. Keith Harris, assistant professor at the Department of Food,

stress
Higher levels of stress are linked to greater levels of abdominal fat. Source: stress.about.com
Bioprocessing and Nutrition Sciences, said. “I followed this up by reading close to ten studies. They say the weight gain is somewhere between three to seven pounds only.” Frightening as it sounds, the term ‘freshman fifteen’ is not an accurate description of the dreaded weight gain most freshmen experience. “The term is still in use maybe because ‘freshman five’ does not sound as interesting as ‘freshman fifteen,’” Harris said. Nevertheless, weight gain all too easily finds its way into the lives of many freshmen, much to their dismay at the end of the semester. “There
are two common causes for this weight gain: decreased physical activity and an increased alcohol intake,” Harris added. Alcohol has the same amount of calories as fat—seven calories per gram. Moreover, because of the liquid form, your body is less satisfied by it, and so doesn’t realize the quantity consumed.” A sudden change in the student’s environment upon entering the college atmosphere is a factor as well. “Not everyone has the skill sets to cook for themselves when they are away from home attending college,” Dr. Suzie Goodell, assistant professor of food, bioprocessing and nutrition, said. “When they go out to eat, it’s natural for them to consume large
calories. Socialization is another reason for this weight gain. When in a social setting, everyone tends to over eat. Stress is another factor.” In this case, men are hit the hardest. Relatively speaking, men tend to put on more weight than women. “While women take cues from their friends on diets, men rarely do,” Harris said. In the end it all comes down to making smarter choices. “If you are to choose between a salad or a sandwich, I would recommend taking some time off to learn what goes into those foods before eating,” Goodell said. “Don’t just grab and go.”

Stock market proves to be college-student-friendly Student investors on campus prove the stock market is not as complicated as it seems. Frances Ellis Correspondent
The stock market is an interactive symbol of the financial world. Every day, investors and traders buy and sell stock ownership shares in a company with the intent of making money. “Firms need to raise capital to finance their activities, and a common method is to sell shares to the public,” Dr. Stephen Margolis, professor of economics, said. “These shares go into a market—[for example,] the stock market— where they can then be bought and sold, or traded. What makes a stock valuable is that the owner of the stock can get proceeds of some value —typically through dividends, or in selling the stock to someone else.” On campus, student investors come from all types of backgrounds. Ian Hill, junior in polymer and color chemistry, attributed his interest in investing to his grandmother. “She was raised during the

business practices.” The effect a volatile stock market has on the economy applies to the University as well. “N.C. State has an endowment, but it only pays for a small share,” Margolis said. “The instability in the market can negatively affect donors, which in turn affects donations that may have been made otherwise. When something catastrophic happens to the financial markets, the impact trickles down.” To students who may be interested in investing, Margolis recommends only doing so with expendable money. “It’s a good idea early on to find out what it’s like to work with a brokerage,” Margolis

Express yourself Up until 2008, the Free Expression Tunnel was a safe-haven for students’ opinions and protests; however, ever since the threatening hate speech regarding President Obama was painted onto its walls in 2008, the University saw the need to fix the issue of offending others by free expression in the tunnel. The harder the University, students or campus organizations, attempt to fix the problem the worse the problem becomes. The tunnel should be returned to its original
purpose of being a place for students to express themselves in a wild art form. The issues around the tunnel always arise when a racial slur is painted in the tunnel, but what about all the other offensive language and insults put in the tunnel? If the University raises the alarm over one insult they should do it for all of them; unless they simply allow the students to do what the tunnel’s sign says- express themselves. The plea for discretion on the sign before
entering the tunnel is all the University should do when it comes to discouraging hate speech, allow students to make their own decisions about what they wish to paint in the tunnel. The more upset students and faculty get about the opinions expressed in the Free Expression Tunnel, the more this controversy will increase. The views expressed in the tunnel should not be taken as anything other than what it is—free expression.

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

We paint our art, good and bad. We pait our opinions and our knowledge. And then someone comes along and paints right over it.” Jim Mahaffee, 1989 Agromeck

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

Matthew Daniels, a junior in biological engineering, who is also a starter for the club rugby team, had a different personal and collective reaction to the whole situation. “It doesn’t affect me so much personally,” Daniels said, “But from the club’s point of view, if that means losing practice time and game time on what is the best facility available, I would be disappointed.” Even though Daniels feels inconvenience by the additional distance to Method Road Fields, he would be perfectly fine if the conditions were simi-

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

Miller Field changes hands, changes face University Athletics Department now controls the upper intramural field. Rishav Dey Correspondent
The upper portion of the Miller Fields, which has previously been used for intramural sports, is now under the control of the N.C. State University Athletics Department. Club and intramural team sports, which had previously been hosted at the upper Miller Field, will now be held at the fields located on Method Road. Ray Brincefield, the Assistant Athletics Director for facilities, said the IM fields had changed hands. “Athletics has indeed taken over the upper IM fields,” Brincefield said. “A landswap agreement has taken place under which University Recreation gets the upper Method Road fields whereas the Athletics Department takes charge of the upper IM fields .” Brincefield also noted that the swap was perfect for both the Athletics Department and University Recreation. “It benefits both parties,” Brincefield said. “University Recreation had already acquired the lower Method
Road fields and needed more space and the athletic building was very close to the upper IM fields. It was a win-win situation for both.” Campus Recreation, now rechristened as University Recreation, has been instrumental in performing a sea of changes to the Miller Fields, both physical and administrative, to make sports facilities better and convenient for students. Ac c ord i ng to Ja s on Spivey, interim director for University Recreation, they have made a plethora of changes to facilities in charge of them, namely the lower Miller Field and the Method Road fields. “We replaced the lights, and the project is nearing conclusion,” Spivey said. “We have replaced the grass, but we are waiting for the grass to take hold, which may take another three weeks. We have also replaced the fencing.” Spivey also wants the students to know that some of the most popular intramural sports have changed venues for their competitions. “Intramurals for flag football, soccer and basically most team sports will take place on the Method Road Fields,” Spivey said. While it may have worked

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