Red zone poses increased risk for new students Katherine Kehoe News Editor

The first six weeks of the fall semester are considered a red zone for rape and sexual assault at any university, and the risk is particularly high for incoming freshmen. Though rape and sexual assault can happen at any time of year, the annual uptick is a result of perpetrators choosing to prey on the vulnerability of incoming students who are unaccustomed to the new environment and seeking new friendships and acceptance, according to Otis McGresham, the director of interpersonal violence and advocacy within the Women’s Center. “A perpetrator of sexual violence will perpetrate,” McGresham said.

“It’s a methodical, kind of hunting sort of mentality. When you are selecting targets to perpetrate sexual violence upon, they’re looking for people who are in an inexperienced environment, people who are more vulnerable so they can prey on that vulnerability.” McGresham said it is difficult to give advice to students about how to protect themselves and others from sexual violence because the only people who can stop it from happening are the perpetrators, but trusting your gut and speaking up when you see something dangerous happening are the best ways to help keep people safe. “On one end there is the actual act of sexual violence and on the

NCSU women prepare The Technician for sorority recruitment now to publish four days a week

Grace Callahan Staff Writer

Sorority recruitment, otherwise known as rush, will take place Sept. 5 – Sept. 10. It is an opportunity for women at NC State to learn more about the nine Panhellenic sororities that the university has to offer and to find which one is the best match for them. “Right now, we already have about 380 girls, and we should get to around 500, which is our goal for every year,” said Morgan Shelton, vice president of recruitment for the Panhellenic Executive Board. “This year we seem to be a little ahead of where we’ve been in the past years.” Open House will take place in the McKimmon Center on Sept. 5, giving girls the opportunity to meet with the different Panhellenic sorority chapters. House Tours begin on Sept. 6. House tours are chance to walk through the chapter’s houses and talk to different sorority members to learn about the philanthropy and the kinds of service they do. The chapters get to show their personalities on Sept. 7, which is Skit Day. Sept. 9 is Preference Night, and the women rushing get to narrow down which sorority is the best fit. Sept. 10, Bid Day, the pledge classes are revealed and the women are welcome into the chapter. Although registering for rush costs $75, the money is put back toward the girls who are rushing. “It goes toward meals and also pays for transportation because we

use buses to take girls from campus to Greek Court and from Greek Court to Greek Way,” Shelton said. To register to rush, each girl must fill out an online application questionnaire. “It’s important to take the application seriously because it tells us a little about themselves and is an opportunity to introduce themselves before they get to meet everybody,” Shelton said. “We also use it for statistical information and to figure out how many freshmen and sophomores we have.” Preparations for sorority recruitment begin far in advance of the actual events. “A lot of the preparation happens at the beginning of the summer,”

said Mary Gray Cunningham, the rush chair for Sigma Kappa. “It’s really a year-long process.” “I’ve been preparing ever since I’ve received my position in December,” Cunningham said. “I started asking girls who just gone through rush for suggestions for the upcoming year.” Greek Life and the process of sorority recruitment have undergone a few changes since last year. “The transformation of Greek Village is underway and a lot of new houses are being built,” Cunningham said. “Also normally Rho Chis aren’t allowed to affiliate with their

Effective immediately, the Technician will publish four days per week, as opposed to the five-day model of the past. The change comes due to a significant decrease in funding to all of Student Media, which has been funded by advertising and underwriting revenue. “Both our national and campus advertising fell precipitously,” Patrick Neal, director of Student Media Advising, said. “No knowledgeable authority we know of can say when — or if — those revenues will ever return to levels seen historically. This is not just a chal-

lenge for the Technician; this is a challenge all university newspapers are facing.” Also affected by the decrease in funding are other outlets of Student Media, such as Agromeck, Windhover and the Nubian Message. “Agromeck is going to a paid model this year,” Neal said of the university’s yearbook. “We can no longer afford to give away books that cost about $65 each to print.” As for Windhover, the literary magazine, and the Nubian Message, Student Media is searching for sponsors to cover the former’s printing budget, while the latter has, reduced the frequency of its publications from 20 to 17 issues per year.

Hillsborough St. non-profit seeks more student input Karima Boukary Correspondent

Students will soon have the opportunity to serve on a committee for the Hillsborough Street Community Service Corporation, which aims to collect more student input and suggestions about future plans for Hillsborough Street’s businesses, construction and events. In 2009, a partnership between NC State, the city of Raleigh and the business owners on Hillsborough Street created HSCSC to be an independent, not-for-profit, business improvement district. Jeff Murison, HSCSC’s executive director is now working toward getting student members added to the Board of Directors so they can be more engaged in the decisionmaking process. “About a year ago we expanded the board that runs our organization to include more members and have more diversity as stake-

holders,” Murison said. “And that included a Student Government representative.” This new committee will be made up entirely of students to provide more input about Hillsborough Street development and activities than what is received from the Student Government representative alone. Creating a committee of student leaders and other students from NC State to give input to the board who will be making decisions is a way for business owners to better communicate with the university and learn more about what students want, according to Murison. “This is really a continuation of that process, getting stakeholder groups more ways to communicate with us and for us to get more information back to them,” Murison said.

Staff Report

Campus Police is searching for a man who it suspects is responsible for two burglaries on campus early Sunday morning. Two dorm rooms were broken into Sunday, the first at 3:20 a.m. and the second at 3:35 a.m. The first break-in occurred at an Avent Ferry Complex dorm where two students described being awoken when a 5’10” black male of about 35 to 40 years of age entered the students’ unlocked dorm room and stole their wallets off the top of a dresser, according to Campus Police. A person matching the sa me de sc r ipt ion wa s caught on camera about 15 minutes later walking into an unlocked dorm room in Syme Hall. At 10:45 a.m.,

the students living in the room reported that their wallets had been taken off their desks. The suspect left the area in a dark-colored Chevrolet HHR. Campus Police Chief Jack Moorman said Campus Police hopes to have more inwormation regarding the break-ins within the next couple of days. “We have got some active leads we are working at this point,” Moorman said. “Hopefully we will have something soon.” The access to high-quality photographs from university cameras has been an encouraging factor in the investigation, Moorman said. “They are very good quality pictures, particularly for pictures that were taken in a low-light situation at 3 o’clock in the morning,” Moorman said. “You can

Moorman said students should always lock their doors, as these kinds of robberies can occur at any time. “They are typically crimes of opportunity,” Moorman said. One way unwanted visitors can get into residence halls is by following a student with a key into the building after he or she opens the door for themselves. Students should always be aware of who is behind them when they are entering their own residence halls, Moorman said. “The main thing is to try to eliminate opportunities

deo will be the only student serving on the board as the student representative, but the committee will still provide input that may influence decisions made by the board. “I’m hoping we can involve people outside of Student Government as well and get a diversity of voices,” Basdeo said. Students interested in participating in the committee should contact Basdeo via email. Murison said he thinks the topics students will discuss and debate will be based on a wide variety of problems regarding events and the maintenance of Hillsborough Street. “They want to know what student’s views are about the street,” Murison said. “What kind of merchants and activities they would like to see. What challenges they have on the street.” In addition to the committee, the board is also looking to include students from Student Government in all of its meeting discussions, but students outside of Student Government are encouraged

other end, all of the behaviors that kind of lead up to that act,” McGresham said. The majority of acts of sexual violence that the Women’s Center deals with are acquaintance acts of rape or sexual aggression, meaning the victim knows the perpetrator, according to McGresham. “That could be that you met somebody in a classroom or a study group or in the library, and they made attempts to create friendships and form connections, and they have manipulated and used those connections against the person that they chose to violate,” McGresham said. Because sexual assault is so heavily underreported to the police at any time during the year, Campus Police doesn’t emphasize the existence of the red zone when raising awareness and combating sexual crimes on campus, according to Jack Moorman, the NC State Campus Police chief. Beginning this year, incoming students will be required to watch a video during orientation that explains

to get involved. “I encourage them to find leaders from a wide array of demographics so that they get students with different interest backgrounds, Greek, nonGreek, multicultural and just a diverse group of students,” Murison said. Basdeo said she hopes Student Government’s involvement can also help communicate topics from the board’s discussions to the general student population.

“We also want to share information with them about things that are coming, projects that are just getting started,” Basdeo said. “Being able to share those kinds of things with the students is important and is part of our mission as well.” Murison said he is looking forward to beginning meetings with Student Government, and said they will be starting within the next month. “The committee is really a partnership with the Student Government leaders, we’re happy to start meeting with them as soon as they can,” Murison said. With student input, the HSCSC will be able to finally have input from all of the voices that ref lect the population served by Hillsborough Street. “The university, the students and the alumni are the driving force of the street, and we take great interest in them and their opinions,” Murison said. “We hope to make the street a home and a source of Pack pride.”

Students are encouraged to report any suspicious activity to or crimes on campus by calling 911 or 919-515-3000. For pictures of the suspect and the vehicle, visit technicianonline.com

We don’t want people to think, ‘OK, well it’s just in the first two weeks the first three weeks,’ and what have you. We want awareness and attention on the topic to continue throughout the year.” Student victims of rape or sexual assault have resources and services available to them through different campus offices and programs. McGresham’s position exists to be an advocate for students, and he can be used as a conduit for all of the available resources for students affected by rape, sexual assault, dating and interpersonal violence. Students can go directly to him and say what has happened and why they are concerned. McGresham will be able to provide contacts in different offices and service providers around campus.

The number for the RSVP line is 919-618-RAPE(7273). The Student Health Center provides emotional and psychiatric care through the Counseling Center and medical care and testing for STI transmission through Health Clinics and Women’s Health. Campus Police is always available if the victim chooses to report an incident to the police and take legal action against his or her perpetrator. The Women’s Center also has money set aside in a Survivor Fund to help victims of sexual or relationship violence with certain expenses they may otherwise not be able to afford. “If you are impacted by sexual assault or relationship violence and you need funds for medical examination or counseling or you are trying to move out of an abusive relationship and you need money for a down payment on a new apartment, we’ve got some funds set aside through an endowment to help alleviate some of those costs,” McGresham said.

a way for students to personalize their experience at NC State. “NC State is such a big school and the Greek community is not only within your chapter but as a whole gives you a smaller community within such a large school,” Cunningham said. “It’s an opportunity to meet more girls personally, create new friendships and have the opportunity to give back to the community.” Sororities are also heavily involved in events on campus. “We like to get involved in as many events as we can, so it’s a great way to get plugged

in to NC State,” Shelton said. The last day to sign up for rush is Sept. 3. Rush is not limited to freshmen, as many sophomores and juniors also rush for the opportunity to meet new people. “Some people have a bad stigma toward Greek life, but it’s a great opportunity, and I think that everyone should take the opportunity to look into recruitment,” Cunningham said. “You don’t always have to join, but I think through the process itself, you can meet a lot of new people and make friends.”

The secret (nine) lives of outdoor house cats Researchers investigate environmental impact of cats Susan Johnson Correspondent

NC State researchers have partnered with the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences to conduct a new study that seeks to explore the environmental impacts of letting domesticated cats roam around outdoors has on native wildlife. Troi Perkins, a senior in zoology and the head project leader of the research, said the main goal of conducting this research is to let the public know the importance of keeping cats indoors. “We want people to know that cats are better off inside because it’s safer for the cat and our native wildlife,” Perkins said. The project is looking to get a total of 1,000 different cats tracked in order to accurately describe the behaviors of the average cat to determine the large-scale environmental effects of sending house cats outdoors. “We want to be able to say, ‘This is an average cat range and this is the wildlife area they could be affecting’ so that we can help to prevent wildlife depredation from our own pet cats,” Perkins said. Researchers are particularly concerned with learning more about the amount of birds killed and eaten by cats roaming in certain wildlife areas. “A recent study had suggested cats were responsible for the deaths of 1–4 billion

birds and 6–22 billion mammals each year,” Perkins said. In addition to Perkins, this project is also being worked on by researchers from the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and some students and professors from NC State. “This project started more out of curiosity than formal research,” Perkins said. “We were looking over camera

trap data in various state parks and noticed an absence of domestic cats.” By using GPS technology, researchers were able to measure the roaming patterns of outdoor cats to get more information about the impact cats have on wildlife. By using GPS harnesses, the team was able to start tracking cats and where they go. A cat named Chicha, who belongs to Rob Dunn, an associate professor in biological sciences at NC State who is also working on the project, was the first cat used in the project. “The results we got back were unexpected,” Perkins said. “She stayed mostly close to home but then there was one track that was almost a

mile away over busy streets.” It was thought to have been a problem with the GPS, but surprisingly turned out to be something much different. “We thought it might just be a GPS error, but it turns out she had actually gone back to her owner’s old house!” Perkins said. “From there we knew cats had a lot to tell about what they are up to and where they go when owners let them outside.” Perkins said finding a way to protect the GPS unit from falling off or being damaged turned out to be one of the obstacles she encountered throughout the cat-tracking trials. Perkins came up with a solution to this problem by deciding to make a 3D hardshell case for the unit. “I created my first prototype GPS case using a 3D printer in the Museum of Natural Science,” Perkins said. Research is still being conducted on the impact of outdoor cats and the protection of certain wildlife areas. Perkins and the rest of the researchers both at NC State and the Museum of Natural Sciences continue to reach out to the public in efforts to get a better understanding of the secret lives of outdoor cats.

Commissioners’ meeting shows it’s time for a change R ecently, I attended a Wake County Board of Commissioners’ meeting in which the representatives voted on adding a referendum to the November ballot so Wake County residents could have a say whether or not to implement a higher sales tax that would go toward teacher Jacqueline salaries. Several Lee Staff Columnist people from the general public spoke during one portion of the meeting, urging the importance of approving this referendum to better support our teachers. One speaker even reminded the board that with elections coming up, we’ll be deciding whether or not the commissioners get to keep their positions and this decision could definitely sway peoples’ votes for them. The Republican 4–2 majority ultimately shot down the referendum. The decision whether to raise the sales tax should have been left up to Wake County residents. But now, it’s not even a possibility. The North Carolina General Assembly passed a bill allowing counties to hold

special elections, such as on the referendum, during even years. This means the next chance to try to approve a referendum like this again will not be available until 2016. The commissioners didn’t even let the board’s longestserving Democratic member, Betty Lou Ward, vote on the topic. She’s been in the hospital, so the County Attorney said he thought she should be allowed to vote regardless. However, more members disagreed, leaving her unable to vote. Commissioner Paul Coble, who opposed the tax, defended his position by claiming it wasn’t fair that people accuse his decision as one purely of partisan politics. That’s strange considering he also didn’t think Ward should be allowed to vote, probably because she definitely supported the referendum. That sounds extremely partisan and unfair to me. Although there’s a formal structure these meetings follow, the chairperson did not let Caroline Sullivan, a Democrat on the board, speak despite the fact she had a comment to make before the voting started. Coble had previously questioned a few comments she made, so she wanted to answer and to talk about her position, but was denied. I felt like the con-

versation wasn’t over yet, and she should have been allowed to make another comment on the topic. The meeting lef t me wanting to ask our Board of Commissioners, “Why would you not want to set an example for other counties? Why not be an innovative county and really try to help teachers?” Because Wake County residents would have been paying the tax, they should’ve been the ones to decide whether or not to pass it. “Letting urban counties get out ahead of the other 97 counties is bad for North Carolina,” Commissioner Joe Bryan said. Though, that statement lacks much evidence. On the contrary, it seems as though passing the referendum would be good for other counties, as they might follow the lead or find new ways to help teachers get the pay they deserve. Though I will not get an opportunity to vote on the referendum, I will be voting to replace members of the County Commission with people who are actually willing to start making changes in Wake County for teachers and moving Wake County in a new direction.

Achieve cleanliness, not sanitization

e wear a piece of clothing once and throw it in the laundry basket. We soap and rinse a dish after even the tiniest use. We punish our hair and pores with the barrage of chemicals in our soaps, shampoos and conditioners. In the United States, we have a tendency to oversanitize.

Our skin naturally secretes sebum oil. It waterproofs skin and hair while killing germs and sending vitamin E to moisturize the surface. Unfortunately, sebum is like an endangered species. The chemicals inside soaps and shampoos destroy the sebum and basically function as a synthetic replacement for the oil.

had no access to shampoos or soaps. Interestingly, she said her hair has never felt as good as when she returned. Now, she said, she preserves its state by simply rinsing it with warm water. Understandably, not everyone would enjoy this sort of hair treatment, but it doesn’t mean we have to turn to soaps and shampoos. As expected, the amount of oil that your body produces is shown to be genetic and causes some people to have greasy hair and skin, but destroying the oil is not the way to treat excessive oil. When a person with greasy skin rids the oil from his or her hair and skin, the body tries to replenish it only to be defeated by another shower. Instead, people should simply brush and wipe the excessive oil. Greasy skin is known to cause acne, which I’ve seen cause distress in my own family. Surprisingly, after trying different acne lotions and pharmaceuticals, which severely dry out skin, we found that tea tree oil came out on top. Members of my family applied the oil after simply wiping and rinsing their faces with warm water. Though just anecdotal, it’s evidence nonetheless for alternative treatments for grease. Historically, the production of soaps and shampoos didn’t hit the mass scale

until the 19th century and daily bathing did not become mainstream until the mid20th century. Some experts, such as John Fielder, natural hygienist and founder of the Academy of Natural Living in Australia, disagree with the idea of constant bathing. “Even the most simple of soaps and shampoos destroy the body’s natural oils and thus the protection derived therefrom,” Fielder said. There’s a balance between dirty and clean, and we’ve severely offset the scale. Many germs and bacteria are beneficial to us. We need them in our stomachs and on our skin, but the constant bathing doesn’t give them a chance. That doesn’t mean we all throw away our hygiene practices either. The excessive buildup of dirt and bodily waste can foster parasites, but can easily be avoided without a daily chemical rubdown. Our bodies are designed to maintain themselves, and they’ve been shown to do their job quite well, but sometimes we forget and feel the need to over compensate. “In cleanliness there is bacterial activity; there is life. Without bacteria there would be no life,” Fielder said. Cleanliness is different than sterility, and you can achieve the former without barraging your body with harmful chemicals.

Getting to the bottom of the ice bucket U

nless you’ve been absent from the realm of social media this summer, you have likely noticed the influx of videos consisting of people getting a bucket of ice water dumped on their heads ostensibly in the name of charity. Josiah T h i s onKeilson line trend, Staff Columnist known as the Ice Bucket Challenge, thrives under the banner of raising funds for a degenerative disease called Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, referred to as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease. In the wake of this social media movement, backlash has come from a multitude of philanthropic skeptics who view the challenge as an act of narcissism disguised as altru-

ism, pointing out that a great number of the video makers remain ignorant of how the disease affects the body, or even what the acronym ALS stands for. Many fail to mention the cause in their video, opting instead simply to film the cold pour, and challenge others to do likewise. It’s convenient: The subject of the video receives high opinions from others in the social realm, offering little to no benefit to charity. However, Tom Watson, a writer of all things social entrepreneurship, wrote in Forbes, “Narcissism is part of public philanthropy.” Further, he argues that an “enlightened self-interest” doesn’t negate the value of the money that it raises. Even if the people making these videos may not care or know anything about ALS, the fact remains that as of Tuesday morning, donations to the

ALS Association reached $22.9 million. This disagreement between the skeptics and supporters leads to a key question that gets to the bottom of this cold debate: Are a person’s motivations for donating to a cause as important as the donation itself? The answer seems to be no. After all, the resources raised for ALS will fund research, regardless of whether the donations came from people who care or are knowledgeable about the issue. Currency is spendable regardless of its origins. The fault in this method of interpreting these issues is that it is far too shortsighted in its comprehension of not only ALS, but also other health and social matters our society faces. Past instances reveal these diseases and social concerns continue existing long after their social

media campaigns end. A paradigm exists where injustices and social concerns are only as important as they are trendy. This is why divorcing an action, in this case a donation from the sentiment from which it proceeds, is not only ethically questionable, but socially unsustainable and lacking in pragmatism. To contextualize how this question concretely affects the search for the ALS cure and the bucket challenge’s short-term view, consider the sources of funding ALS research has received during the past couple of years. The National Institutes of Health, the gold standard for medical research funding, and the largest funder of ALS, granted $44 million to ALS research in 2012. That number has since been cut, dropping 11 percent to $39 million in 2013, with simi-

lar predictions for the years ahead. Larry Blanton, the director of graduate programs in plant biology at NC State, and a former research scientist at the Imperial Cancer Research Fund in London, said that the average grant awarded from the NIH is now $441,404, which is the lowest it’s been since 1999. This is no surprise as the NIH has continued to see cuts since the sequestration, which lowered federal appropriations for NIH research grants by more than five percent, or $1.55 billion below the last fiscal year. So, though $22.9 million to the ALS association is undeniably encouraging, it is only a drop in the bucket of what is going to be a lengthy research process. Who will continue to fund ALS research after the heat over the bucket challenge has cooled down? Consider the impact if the

millions of these video makers each wrote their federal representative, demanding more funding for medical research and the NIH. That type of collective voice cannot be ignored and holds the potential to fund research for ALS and, in turn, its cure, sustainably. If people are walking away with only a wet t-shirt and $10, or even $100, out of their pockets, there has been no change to the lenses through which we view and connect with these issues. We seem to prefer to interact on a surface level with the trendy shadows of an issue, rather than truly engage with the issue itself. As long as this pattern exists, people will only continue to dull this culture’s conscious and become even more bankrupt of the ability to practice true empathy and take action.

Boyhood: a cinematic journey 12 years in the making Boyhood

Richard Linklater IFC Productions

Kevin Schaefer Associate Features Editor

My favorite scene in Boyhood features the protagonist, Mason (Ellar Coltrane), on a weekend camping trip with his dad, played by Ethan Hawke. There are no major plot revelations here, dramatic tensions or memorable one-liners. Like the rest of the film, this scene is a quiet reflection of the human spirit, untarnished by the conventions of a Hollywood screenplay. Filmed over the course of 12 years and following the same cast the entire time, Boyhood is simply about a young man’s journey from childhood to adolescence to early adulthood. Early on, audiences watch Mason as he bickers with his sister, Samantha (Lorelei Linklater), waits in line with his friends for the newest Harry Potter book, and go from school to school as his family moves. As Mason and Samantha grow older, they become more interested in sex, drugs and partying. Contributing to this is their parents’ separation when they were children, as well as their mother (Patricia Arquette) going through several more failed marriages during their teenage years. The film follows these characters through the

different stages of their lives, allowing viewers to connect with them on a deep and emotional level. Writer/director Richard Linklater delivers quite possibly his best and certainly his most ambitious film to date. The highly inventive filmmaker made his debut in 1991 with the cult classic Slacker, a true game changer that paved the way for other iconic indie films such as Clerks and Pulp Fiction. While Boyhood is more plot-based than Slacker, as it does follow one main character instead of a bunch of random ones, it presents itself more as a culmination of all of Linklater’s previous works. Scenes in which Mason talk about his world views with his girlfriend will echo Slacker, while a number of other themes will certainly resonate with fans of the Before Midnight trilogy. What really makes this film so powerful is that Linklater drew from personal experiences when crafting Mason’s character. Like the protagonist, Linklater was raised in Texas, had divorced parents, and developed an interest in the arts early on in his life. Authentic human interaction is the driving force of Boyhood. What would’ve killed this film is if the cast had little to no chemistry. Fortunately, however, Coltrane works so well with Hawke, Arquette and Linklater that viewers feel a genuine sense of family here as the story unfolds.

Ellar Coltrane plays Mason in Boyhood, a film that took 12 years to make.

At the beginning, the parents are at each other’s throats. Arquette plays the liberal feminist mother trying to provide her kids with the best life possible, while Hawke portrays the fun weekend dad who takes Mason and Samantha bowling and to baseball games. Linklater’s choice to use the same actors the entire time makes the character development all the more believable. Rather than follow the formula laid out in screenwriting textbooks, Linklater presents

life as it is without any sugar coating. Beyond the writing and acting, the visual storytelling in Boyhood makes it a truly unforgettable cinematic experience. The second shot in the film is a close-up of a young Mason lying on the ground with his head cocked to the left as he stares up at the sky. There are no words spoken, gunshots, explosions or any other devices to plunge audiences into an action-packed state of mind. Instead, Linklater introduces us to the

character solely through a facial expression that conveys Mason’s wonder and confusion. Linklater and his cinematographers, Lee Daniel and Shane F. Kelly, give us a number of other shots in the film such as this one that are not symmetrical, vibrant or what most viewers today would call eye-popping. Yet that doesn’t make these images any less extraordinary. There are a million ways Boyhood had the potential to fail. Someone could have

died at any point during the 12 years it took to make it. Other cast members might have quit the project or just retired from acting altogether. There is no doubt that these thoughts went through Linklater’s head when he began working on it. Yet, against all odds and against every precaution the cast and crew could have taken, the final product is one of the most unique and imaginative films of the 21st century and possibly of all time.

NC State motorcycle group rides in style Sara Awad Staff Writer

Most students who commute to campus do so within the confines of a car, but students who choose to become members of the Wolfpack Motorcycle Association prefer another mode of transportation. Former club president and nutrition and human biology graduate James Hampson started the organization two years ago with friends who he used to ride motorcycles with in high school. “We saw a bunch of other bikes on campus, and between parking and stuff, asked them to ride and that sort of thing,” Hampson said. “We recognized that we had an opportunity to, I guess, create another social outlet to learn how to work on the bikes and learn how to ride better.” Members meet at West Deck for about an hour before heading out to a restaurant as part of scheduled bike nights held throughout the school year, according to Hampson. On weekends, the club members partake in group rides. “The first group ride we had as a club was pretty exciting,” Hampson said. “We had a pretty good turnout, and most of the fun of it is we have all people kind of our age riding together. It looks pretty cool when you have a group of about 20 motorcycles riding down the road.” A few of the more experienced riders also went on a group trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains in fall 2012, where they rode about 500 miles through mountains and back roads, according to Hampson. There are about 100 mem-

bers in the organization’s Facebook group, which serves as the main mode of communication for get-togethers. “The group has gotten really close,” Hampson said. “We have an ongoing group message in the Facebook group … and a bunch of them actually ended up living together last year. It really is a close-knit group of guys, and we have a bunch of girls in the club, too…” One of these girls is Andrea Cuevas, a junior in biology who said she started riding last year as a way to “redeem” herself after falling off a moped. “My first group ride was with the Wolfpack Motorcycle Association, and it was nice,” Cuevas said. “It was kind of scary because it was all back roads, but after the first 30 minutes I got the hang of it, but when I first got on the motorcycle I was very paranoid.” Only a few girls ride in the club, which does come with some challenges, according to Cuevas. “It’s definitely different,” Cuevas said. “You always have guys say, ‘Wow, that’s so cool. Wow, that’s so badass … that’s so hot.’ I don’t normally go on the group rides because it’s always guys, and it gets a bit awkward.” Still, Cuevas said she enjoys the sense of community the club brings. “My favorite part about the club is how we meet once a week, and it’s not just NC State students; we’ll also invite people from different colleges that ride,” Cuevas said. “It’s a great way to meet new people and see a variety of different bikes.” For example, members often bike to football games

together in the fall, according to Cuevas. The more experienced riders also provide tips to members on how to ride and perform bike maintenance, according to Hampson. “I’ve learned a lot about how bikes work just from being a part of this group,” Cuevas said. “I’ve learned how to change oil … change an exhaust, changing brake pads, changing the carburetor.” Hampson said the main allure comes from the thrill of the ride. “You’re basically sitting on 100 horsepower, and it’s just kind of liberating, the ride … you feel the wind and that sort of thing,” Hampson said. “It’s kind of like why a dog sticks his head out the window in the car.” To join the club, search Wolfpack Motorcycle Association on Facebook to connect with members and find meeting times.

Nationwide moving company employs NCSU bellhops Kevin Schaefer Associate Features Editor

When Auburn University alumni Stephen Vlahos and Cameron Doody began to pursue entrepreneurial careers, they founded Bellhops, their own moving company, back in 2011. Little did they know that the business would become a nationwide enterprise with more than 80 employees from NC State alone. The company serves more than 120 cities in 42 states and contracts more than 8,000 student bellhops. With moving services in high demand, Bellhops’ customers range from college students to senior citizens all across the country. Matt Patterson, the chief operating officer of Bellhops, explained his involvement and the process by which they manage thousands of employees. “Bellhops started as a collegiate moving company,” Patterson said. “It was basically just moving college students at first. The entire student community moves in such a short time period, so you have a massive amount of moving going on. There’s never been a good answer to that. People just ask friends to help.” Patterson said that because traditional moving companies can only do a certain amount of jobs per day, they are not a factor in collegiate moving. Vlahos and Doody wanted to make a way to bridge this gap in order to provide college students with sufficient moving services. “At the start, we thought we’d do 25 moves in total and ended up doing 250 at Auburn,” Patterson said. Patterson came on board in 2012 after graduating from the University of Alabama. While the company started as an idea among college graduates eager to dive into the business world, Bellhops expanded rapidly from the get-go. At the time Patterson joined, Vlahos was the only full-time employee.

By then, Bellhops had expanded to eight schools and was still a collegiate moving company. However, all three board members were ready to take it to the next level. “We figured that if it worked at Auburn, it could work elsewhere,” Patterson said. “We knew we really had something, so we quit our jobs and worked it full time.” Patterson said one of the things that really sets them apart is that they allow bellhops to choose their own jobs, which is why they hire so many college students. “Our bellhops are entrepreneurs,” Patterson said. “We don’t ever tell our bellhops where to be. We post all our jobs and they log in and get to choose on a first-come, first-serve basis which jobs they want, which elevates our customer service. Because we did not tell anyone to be there at 8 a.m. on Saturday morning, we have guys who want to be there. We’re looking for hard-working guys, and we have a culture based on effort, going above and beyond for customers.” Patterson said the company encourages its bellhops to do things such as buy water bottles for their customers to show that they are committed to doing their jobs. “One thing that we bring to the moving industry is trust and comfort,” Patterson said. “We are sending the customers pictures of the bellhops that will be working with them beforehand, so that they see the guys’ faces before they get there.” Patterson said one niche industry they have come across is furniture installations. According to Patterson, when new apartment complexes and dorms are going up that are unfurnished, somebody has to install 800 beds in that 800-unit complex. “We have projects going on in 13 different cities right now, and that’s something we want to expand,” Patterson said. “Right now we’re

committed to the moving sector, but we’re always interested in other ways to provide opportunities for our bellhops.” According to their website, Bellhops’ mission is to “connect awesome people who need help with awesome people who want to work.” “In a lot of ways we consider 2013 our first year,” Patterson said. “We went on a massive expansion. We don’t own any trucks or any real estate. In 2013, we went to 47 cities

and had a really great year. We also started adding local community to our services as well. Collegiate moving is still a big part of our business, but we now operate on a year-round basis.” Doody, the co-founder of Bellhops, also gave some advice for college students interested in pursuing entrepreneurial careers. “I think one of the biggest issues in our country right now is smart people aren’t doing things,” Doody

said. “They’re going out and working for companies that already exist. Some of our best talent gets snagged right out of school and put into these corporations where they don’t have the freedom to innovate. You don’t have to have a perfect idea, you just have to start executing on something and you’ll learn how to adapt the company to fit the needs.”

Findley said. â€œThatâ€™s what preseasonâ€™s about: building relationships with the guys you play close One of those key relationships lies at the heart of defense: the center back pairing. While seniors Moss JacksonAtogi and Clement Simonin offer experience and leadership, incoming players, such as U.S. under-20 national team defender Conor Donovan and Uruguayan under-20 defender Matias Fracchia, offer quality, depth and competition. â€œPlayers have to play quicker and sharper because they know their position is on the line,â€? Findley said. â€œAlso, the quality of a player like Conor

Donovan helps bolster what we have already â€” guys like Moss, Clement and others.â€? Strength in depth will be invaluable for the Wolfpack this year. Findleyâ€™s recruiting efforts resulted in a class of incoming freshmen ranked third nationally by in the ACC. Freshman attacking midfielder Zach Knudson and junior left back Reed Norton, who transferred in January from Georgia Southern University, have already staked their claim for starting berths in Findleyâ€™s new-look side after excellent spring campaigns. Moreover, former Cardinal Gibbons high school striker and current Wolfpack freshman Ade Taiwo, who did not feature in the spring due to recovery from an ACL injury, front line.

The two teams will not meet until Nov. 29, making Duke the State teamâ€™s final test of the regular season. This matchup could not only be crucial for postseason po-

sition, but also potentially for the ACC crown. Having only lost one starter, the Pack roster is filled with veteran and rookie talent and is set to make a strong run in the ACC this season. However, State will have to go through the reigning conference champs before staking its claim as the dominant force of the ACC.

The NC State volleyball team added former Goucher College assistant coach Charlotte Harris to the Wolfpack staff as the director of operations on Monday.

Harris, a standout player at Mercer University in Georgia, brings experience coaching at both the club and collegiate level to the program. The Chapel Hill, North Carolina, native first worked with Wolfpack volleyball staff at various camps, and will also work with Triangle Volleyball Club besides serving at NC State. SOURCE: N.C.

The NC State men’s soccer team gathers before the start of their exhibition match against UNC-Wilmington. The Wolfpack takes on Campbell this evening at 7 pm.

Another year has begun for NC State athletics, as football, soccer, volleyball and cross-country have each begun new seasons. Here at the Technician, we have listed the key games to watch among each team’s respective schedules in the fall semester. Football – Georgia Tech, Wake Forest On Saturday, Nov. 8, the Wolfpack will face the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in Raleigh for the NC State homecoming game. Georgia Tech had a mod-

est season last year, going 5-3 in the conference and 7-6 overall, which included a 38-14 upset against Duke and a 70-0 rout over Elon. The Jackets are coming off a great year rushing the ball, having been ranked sixth in the nation last year in rushing, but have lost former ace running back David Sims as well as quarterback Vad Lee. The last time that the teams faced each other was in 2011, when NC State climbed out of a 21-0 deficit to come back in the game, but fell short to No. 21 Georgia Tech, 45-35. In recent years, the Pack has continued to fall victim to serial upsets at

Wake Forest. NC State has not beaten the Demon Deacons in Winston Salem since 2002 and the trend has strengthened the rivalry between the two instate schools. Wake Forest finished last season with a 4-8 record, going 2-6 in the conference. Along with losing their former head coach Jim Grobe, the team has lost several players on both sides of the ball, as both offense and defense have five returning starters. Last year, NC State lost 28-13 at Wake, but the Pack will be ready for revenge when the Deacons visit Carter-Finley Sta-

dium on Nov. 15. Men’s Soccer – Louisville, UNC-Chapel Hill The NC State soccer team will be a sleeper team in the ACC this year. Despite being ranked fourth in the ACC Atlantic Div ision projections, the team went 8-5-4 last season, brought in the best recruiting class in the ACC and has shown intense progression in the offseason.

Keeping up with the NC State football team will now be easier than ever, as coverage of the Wolfpack’s upcoming campaign will be aired all across the state throughout the 2014 season. “The Dave Doeren Show” will air on Sunday at 11:35 p.m. weekly on WRAL-TV in the Triangle Area and on WILM in Wilmington beginning on Aug. 31. The broadcast will feature host Tony Haynes and Pack Head Coach Dave Doeren as the two break down the previous day’s game and discuss the game plan that went into the contests. Repeats of “The Dave Doeren Show” can be seen the following Monday at 6 p.m. and Tuesday at 11 p.m. on Fox Sports South and MASN, respectively.

son, Goldsboro and Henderson. The show includes every play from the latest Wolfpack game shortened into an hour-long broadcast and features the play-byplay commentating of Gary Hahn. The program will premiere on Sept. 3 and will continue every Thursday at 9 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. and Saturday at 6 p.m. The biggest feature of the NC State football coverage will be over the radio

airways. During the 2014 season, 23 different radio stations will broadcast every Wolfpack football game starting two hours prior to kickoff. The coverage will reach 52 different cities, spanning from Asheville to the Outer Banks. For the Wolfpack faithful scattered across the state of North Carolina, the wide coverage provided by the various stations will give ample opportunities to keep

up with the team. Clayton Kramer, a sophomore in statistics, said the extensive range of broadcasts will help him keep up with the Wolfpack squad, even in his home town. “The wide range of coverages is definitely something I’m excited about,” Kramer said. “I’m always interested to see what goes through the minds of the people behind my school’s football team.” With the four out-of-state

games on the Pack’s schedule this season, finding ways to watch the action will be crucial for State fans. Of the three Wolfpack football games with set kickoff times during the 2014 season, all three will air either on television or over an online stream. Charlie Brooks, a senior in civil engineering, said that he was excited to keep up with the Pack, even when he couldn’t be there personally. “It’s important to me because sometimes I can’t get to the home games or even the away games, I’m always desperately searching for them on the TV and before I could never seem to find it,” Brooks said. For the Aug. 30 contest against Georgia Southern, coverage can be found on the ACC Network. On Sept. 6, the Pack’s showdown with Old Dominion will air on ESPN3, and the matchup with South Florida will be shown on CBSSN one week after that.
