Keeping phishers at bay: OIT warns against hackers Gavin Stone Assistant News Editor
But we didn’t do that. I understand that. You have a lot more rivers that are born in North Carolina and flow into South Carolina. If all the folks in North Carolina want to use the water for agriculture, folks in South Carolina might be robbed of that resource. So how do you work out equity across political boundaries that don’t really respect riverine boundaries or aquatic boundaries? So that’s a challenge. The land conservation movement across the country has been enormously successful. We don’t have a lot of resources, but we enter voluntary agreements with landowners in the form of conservation easements, and sometimes we buy land. And more land has been saved by land
Each month, about 50 NC State email accounts are compromised as a result of phishing attacks, according to Marc Hoit, Vice Chancellor for Information Technology and Chief Information Office. Phishing is the term for social engineering methods that are used to manipulate a person into giving up his or her account information, and it comes in many forms. “Phishers will send you a message that causes you to get nervous, to worry, to think it’s legitimate, to go ‘oh my gosh, I need to fix something,’” Hoit said. “Their goal is to make you trust them by either pretending to be an authority figure using everything from your shopping account, to mentioning something you are doing that may be slightly illegal but very common, and they hit a nerve that makes you go ‘oh my gosh, somebody could find this out.’” Once you click on the link or type in your information, phishers can get into your computer to load software that will make you the source for the next attack, known as “spearphishing,” spreading their reach through your contacts and increasing their chances of finding something valuable that they can use, according to Hoit. “There’s all sorts of stuff they can do with it; if they can find enough information they will get your bank account number to do ID fraud, to steal money, to try to get your social security number, or they can sell it to someone else,” Hoit said. “Social security numbers sell on the black market for, I think, $2 a piece now. When you think about it, the federal government just had a 20-million-account breach — 20 million social security numbers at $2 a piece is a lot of money.” This unseen tech battle is constant, due to relentless efforts by hackers to undermine the checks put in place by service providers, according to Neal McCorkle, an information security officer in the Office of Information Technology. “They are able to mimic the page design from sites like Shibboleth and in several cases have shown an understanding of the source coding to the point where they are able to fix issues that the creators of the page hadn’t seen,” McCorkle said. Many of the phishing attempts can be traced back to foreign countries such as Iran, Russia and China, who see NC State as an “easy target” because of its large number of accounts that it supports, McCorkle said. “NC State is responsible for about 180,000 accounts right

Jay Leutze is the author of “Stand Up that Mountain,” the 2015 Common Reading book. He addressed students at convocation in the PNC Arena on Monday. His book focuses on modern-day environmental challenges.
Common Reading author discusses conservation challenges Ravi K. Chittilla Staff Writer
Members of Student Media sat down with Jay Leutze, author of the 2015 NC State Common Reading book, “Stand Up that Mountain” Tuesday afternoon. The book deals with a small community’s efforts to combat a mining firm which intended to exploit the mountain town for economic profit. The following interview has been condensed for the space alloted. Q:I know that you have been continuing to work on growing national parks and conserving land. How much [money] have you been able to raise to conserve this land? A: There are 23 land trusts in North
Carolina, plus the Nature Conservancy, the Trust for Republic Land and The Conservation Fund. Those are sort of the big land trust organizations. So my land trust, the Southern Appalachian Highland Conservancy, has accumulated 68,000 acres of land over the last 40 years. The Nature Conservancy statewide has protected more than 700,000 acres. The numbers are starting to add up. If you take all the nature conservancies together, we’re really making an impact. Of course, North Carolina is a political unit with state boundaries that are artificially drawn, so they don’t follow ridge lines necessarily, or watersheds. I think it would make a lot more sense to have our states be the ‘State of Neuse River Basin’ or the ‘State of the Watauga River Drainage.’ That’s a more rational way to divide resources into political boundaries.
Iraqi students experience Wolfpack community Kaitlin Montgomery Editor-In-Chief
Fourteen Iraqi students sat clustered around plush red, black and grey chairs and ottomans in Talley Student Union on Friday. As they whispered amongst themselves about what they had seen while touring and exploring NC State, giggles and excitement filled the air. All between the ages of 15 and 17, the students were recruited from all provinces in Iraq. The students are part of the Iraqi Young Leaders Exchange Program. For four weeks in the summer they take part in an exchange program in the United States. According to World Learning, the program focuses on bringing, “English-speaking secondary school students from Iraq to explore the themes of leadership development, civic rights and responsibilities, respect for diversity, and community engagement.” “They’re having so much fun,” said Adrienne Smith, one of the leaders of the Raleigh group. “Each
of the groups that come to visit focuses on something different. There’s a group that learns about the environment and another about pubic health. We’re here to learn about social justice and laws.” The students from Iraq work with U.S. students, leaders and mentors to develop their own leadership skills and build action plans to strengthen the future of Iraq and the U.S. “We’ve learned so much,” said Kawther Al-hajjaj from Muthanna and a student of the Ruqaia High School For Distinguished Girls. “[NC State] is very different from how things are where we’re from. You need perfect marks to go to a good school. Even if you’re close, it’s still not enough. I would love to go to a place like this.” Al-hajjaj, along with her fellow students, asked questions beyond their years. They quizzed student leaders on some of life’s tougher questions.

trusts over the last 10 years than has been converted by sprawl. In the aggregate, the conservation community has had a real impact on the environmental landscape, and without it, we would have poorer resource planning than we currently have, and that extends not only to protecting beautiful places where we like to hunt, fish and hike and play. It extends to the loss of farmland and our capacity to feed ourselves in the future. North Carolina is number two in the country of having the most farmland loss over the last decade. You don’t want to be number one on that list. We need to do a better job of protecting our soil resources if we want to feed ourselves close to home in the future. So that’s a concrete conservation challenge. People who don’t buy the climate challenge can say ‘Oh yeah, I eat food. Maybe it would be best to eat food grown locally.’ Q: Would you say that we are conserving land at a linear rate? As in, are we conserving the same amount of land every year, or is our rate of conservation faster or slower than years past? A: I think that we are having an uneven impact because so much of it depends on funding. What we saw beginning in 2007 was a recession, and that hammered state budgets across the country. And what we see is a continued pressure at the federal level for land conservation. And we are falling behind on our needs. Take North Carolina for example. North Carolina is adding 100,000 citizens every year. Those 100,000 people mov-

tudents gather at the starting line for the first ever Midnight Howl and Run, an event as a partnership between campus departments including Dining, Transportation and Recreation. University Recreation spearheaded the event in order to give students something fun, active and physical to do on a Monday night when students would likely otherwise be inside and stationary. For the first year, the Midnight Howl and Run, which covered a two-mile course with free food, games and T-shirts at the end boasted 1,900 preregistered runners eight hours before the race and ended up with over 3,700 runners in total.
ing into North Carolina all want clean water, and they all want clean places to mountain bike, hike, recreate and canoe. But the number of resources have more users of the resource. There was a very rational system established in North Carolina 20 years ago when the proceeds of a real estate sale flowed into the state, a portion of the deeds stamp tax went to a trust fund that helped buy park land and conservation land that helped offset development. Unfortunately, the general assembly eliminated that policy three years ago. So you can see for students, engaging in a multiprong to protect this conservation funding, it’s political, it’s economic. There’s so many ways you can come at our environmental challenges. And one of the clearest way for a lot of people to understand it is just money. If you have less money, you can buy less land. Q: We often hear about the small town kid making it in the big city. However, your experience was the opposite of that. Can you talk about what drove you to the mountains of North Carolina from Chapel Hill, where you grew up? A: I left Boston where I was working for a book-selling company, and I really craved the feeling of a rural community. But when I was young, Chapel Hill was rural. And so the Chapel Hill I returned to as an adult wasn’t the same Chapel Hill with the tobacco fields I would run through as a child. I realized that the mountains still had enough rural character and enough scenic beauty to feed me, I hope for a lifetime. The mountains were where I spent my summers, and I’m truly a summer creature. That’s when the fishing and camping is at its best. So when
it wasn’t summer, I was just waiting for summer to come around the corner. Q: Why do you think your book is relevant for incoming freshmen? A: I know that a lot of freshmen in the student body at NC State are from North Carolina, and I was really honored that they chose the book, partly because I thought it would be a good fit because this is a part of North Carolina that not a lot of people are very familiar. It’s a small subset of North Carolinians that have ever heard of Roan Mountain, ever heard of Hump Mountain and Dogtown. I really thought I could expand students’ knowledge of their own home state. I also think of it as a story of the wherewithal, the tenacity, the persistence of the families that were engaged in this battle, Ollie Cox and Ashley Hood and their family. I hope this is inspiring to students who are facing challenges as they try to be when they grow up, what to do with their lives, how to spend their time productively while they are at NC State. And hopefully it inspires students who are facing challenges that perceive them as insurmountable not to be so unsurmountable. Maybe if you reach out in your community, and you tap every resource you had access to, you will accomplish more than you thought you might. Q: How do you feel the conservation movement can proceed forward in this political and judicial climate that we have today in North Carolina? A: We are living a different political climate than when the case that was in the book took place. Luckily, I think land conservation is fairly

now, of which about 65,000 to 70,000 are active,” said Sarah Noell, assistant director of the Office of Information Technology. Of these accounts, Noell said that at any given time, 1 to 3 percent of these accounts are compromised. Google has recently offered a two-step verification service to minimize the threat by forcing a user trying to access your account from an unknown computer to enter a six-digit code that is then sent to your phone, which must be synced with your Gmail account. This requires a phishing account to gain access to your email, password and phone in order to gain control of your account. “It can be cumbersome to have to wait for a text message to sign in to your email, but it will only ask you to verify from your personal computer once a month while every time you try to access your account
non-partisan. It’s fairly appealing to conservatives, progressives, liberals, libertarians. The method that you use to conserve land, all of those groups probably don’t agree on how to do it or what funding mechanisms to use to get there. We live in a political climate that is always trying to put downward pressure on taxation and public investment, and I think we are in a time where a certain segment of the population has lost trust in the government to be able to handle public investment. I know a lot of people in the agencies within the state and the federal system that are land managers and land stewards, and I have a lot of trust in them. Sometimes they make decisions I oppose, and I’ve even sued an agency when I’ve opposed a decision they’ve made. That’s OK. It’s not the end of the world. When a state agency is sued by citizens, that is my speech right, and nobody at the agency that I sued was terribly offended that I filed a lawsuit. I am not going to say that it was unicorns and butterflies every day about it, but these are public servants. I believe strongly that we need to have a system of taxation that needs to support the public good, and what is more good and right and true to our future as a species of healthy people than clean drinking water and outdoor spaces to connect to our natural state? It should be non-controversial. It’s a lot less controversial than the regulations portion of the debate. If we value a piece of land enough, we should have the public resources committed to buy it, using eminent domain we should purchase it in the public marketplace, and that really does appeal to liberals and conservatives alike.
what is the largest problem that faces us as community today? A: I think the sheer size of our population is an enormous strain on our resources. If you are drinking a glass of water on the eastern part of the state, downstream of the headwaters of the start of that stream, you are probably drinking water that has traveled through septic systems. The more people we have, the more people we have filling septic systems with waste, the more our water is going to become impaired. I think that is a paramount concern. I think that reducing our dependency on coal-power dependency, all of our other ways to generate energy have a carbon footprint as well. Manufacturing wind turbines does; installing solar panels on a large scale on what was farmland has an impact, so we really have to focus on energy usage. NC State is doing an amazing job right now by building energy efficient buildings that are LEED certified. The more efficiently we build in the places that we live and work, the more we can get the cheapest conservation dollar. It’s cheaper than buying land. It’s cheaper than creating solar energy for distribution. Conservation really takes the edge off of your carbon footprint. The more we can do that to reduce emissions, the more we can do to at least address the low-hanging fruit of what needs to be done.

Q: Now that mountain-top blowing is no longer primarily in practice,
from another computer, you will be asked to enter the code,” Noell said. However, Google is not able to protect student or faculty unity accounts with two-step verification, according to Noell. “Once they get your email password, even if they get stopped by our two-step verification, they can still access your personal information on MyPack Portal, which could be enough to open a credit card in your name or be useful in some other way,” Noell said. Because it is impossible to be 100 percent effective against these attacks, the Office of Information Technology tries to make sure that students and faculty are aware of their online security and that they know what to look for to detect a phishing attempt. One of the weaknesses in an attempt to phish an account is that if the victim hovers his or her mouse over the link that the phisher wants them to click, it will show that the link is to another site that is not it claims to be. Sometimes, phishers try to hide the real URL at the end of the fake one, which can be seen by scrolling
all the way to the end of the address, or use similar characters; such as “go0gle. com” instead of “google.com.” For tablet users, holding their finger over the link will reveal where it is actually going, but this is more risky than laptop or desktop users who can simply use their mouse. Hoit said that the best way to be safe is to never give out your account information based on an unsolicited offer of help. This is because a legitimate source, such as your bank, will never ask for your account information and neither will a site like UPS or Amazon. If someone contacts you saying there is a problem with your account, Hoit said the best course of action is to contact the source yourself because their records will show if someone is trying to access your account. “I’ve gotten calls from the bank where they say, ‘Someone is using your account to buy this, is this legitimate?’ You can tell them ‘No, I’m not in California or wherever,’” Hoit said. “But if they say, ‘Give us your account information so we can verify,’ something is wrong.”

Muscle Core protein shakes, Sammy’s chicken fingers and UREC T-shirts were among the highlights of freebies at RecFest. Insomnia cookies were the biggest hit at Target for the midnight shoppers. Hundreds of students waited patiently at the bus stop to pile into the Wolfline Buses bound for Target. NC State’s newest students appeared overwhelmed by the commotion and confusion at the Target run, including Brooke Caldwell, a freshman studying political science.
“The bus ride here was almost deadly,” Caldwell said. Upon arrival at the Target run, UAB organization members swiped their ID cards and were free to roam around the shopping center, purchasing everything from room décor and groceries to clothing and school supplies. Gates for RecFest opened at 6:30 p.m., but some students began waiting in line an hour in advance. As soon as gates opened, masses of sweaty students ran to enjoy the blow-up obstacle courses, learn more about the dozens of club sports such as bass fishing and sailing club and, of course, grab as many free things as possible.

With an average weighted high school GPA of 4.44, nearly 51 percent of freshmen were in the top 10 percent of their high school class. They averaged a score of 1251 on the math and critical reading portions of the SAT. Sixty-two made perfect scores on the math portion, and 31 earned perfect critical reading scores.

Anti-vaccine advocates pose genuine threat U
nder the misconception that “scientists” have proven links between vaccination duri ng ch i ld ho o d and autism, Jim Carrey joined the ranks of public f igures such as Mary Anna Jenny McCarthy when he publicRice ly spoke against Opinion Editor mandatory vaccinations. On June 30, he tweeted, “I am not anti-vaccine. I am antithimerosal, anti-mercury. They have taken some of the mercury laden thimerosal out of vaccines. NOT ALL!” Carrey made this statement in reference to a recently passed California law that now bars the exemption of children who attend public or private school from vaccination on the basis of personal belief. Before we go into why it’s especially harmful to treat the development of autism as a looming
element of monstrosity that must be warded off at all costs, let’s examine the various fallacies in Carrey’s assertions — assertions that the anti-vaccine crowd frequently throw about. Being “anti-thimerosal” indicates that Carrey still subscribes, as many do, to the now-retracted 1998 study that first made a connection between thimerosal and autism. Despite that other studies have failed to demonstrate any such links, and despite that the referenced study has been dismissed nearly universally by renowned scientists, people who are anti-vaccine continue to cite the dangers of thimerosal. Initially after the study was published, British vaccination rates steeply declined. However, the number of people who developed autism in this period of time did not — though the number of children who contracted measles escalated rather dramatically. Let’s go back to mercury, an element widely known for being
volatile and highly toxic. It would certainly be reasonable for parents to object to their children being injected with mercury, but this is not the case here. Thimerosal doesn’t contain mercury; it contains methylmercury. Anyone who has taken an entry-level chemistry course can tell you that the two are not the same thing, just as oxygen is not the same as carbon dioxide and sodium is not the same as salt. In fact, even throughout a body’s digestive processes, mercury never exists in isolation. It is converted as a byproduct into ethylmercury, which, again, is not the same thing as mercury. But is it wrong for the government to force someone who is anti-vaccine to vaccinate their kids? No, I would say not. When parents refuse to vaccinate their children on the basis of ignorant beliefs that their children are too young to understand or refute, they endanger their kids, and they endanger whatever kids hang around their kids. As seen with
the measles outbreak that immediately followed the establishment of the anti-vaccine mindset, not vaccinating your children can leave a huge impact. In addition to spreading sickness, calling for a ban on vaccines containing thimerosal on the foundation that it “causes” autism harshly stigmatizes those who actually have autism. Seeming to go along with the current societal resurgence of anti-vaccination mindsets, a United States government task force has come forward to say that more research needs to be done before doctors institute a universal screening process for autism. People who are anti-vaccine are quick to point at autism, a neurodevelopmental disorder, as a vastly undesirable handicap that renders those who have it “abnormal” and “wrong.” Though people with autism may lie outside the norm in terms of thought processes, why are we so eager to deem their way of thinking to be wrong? To treat
an entire group of people (many of whom are fully functioning and integrated within society) as though they are lab experiments gone wrong rather than as people is as inhumane as anti-vaccine advocates claim vaccinations are. Additionally, people with autism should not have to feel as though they must conform to societal expectations in order to gain acceptance and recognition. They should be free to decide what is best for them instead of being constantly bombarded with accusations of “turning out wrong.” Current anti-vaccine perspectives are mired in false beliefs and fears of being “less than normal.” Though further research may show that vaccines do cause harm in some aspect, current research fails to uphold the allegations anti-vaccine advocates continue to lob at people who don’t want their children to contract preventable diseases.

The joy of not streaming O
ne thing I’ll never forget f rom my advent u res at ConCarolinas, a sci-fi convention in Charlotte, is what “Game of Thrones” author George R.R. Martin had to say about Netf lix. “Don’t use that word ; it’s a bad word,” he said to Kevin a woman sitting Schaefer at our table (my Staff Writer friend and I got tickets to a dinner with him on the first day of the convention). As the owner of an independent movie theater, Martin is understandably not a proponent of streaming services such as Netf lix, Hulu and Amazon Prime, as they hurt cinemas and, even more noticeably, video stores. North American Video, my favorite video store in Raleigh, closed just a few months ago after more than 30 years in business. It got me thinking that while I love how Netf lix allows me and countless others to access thousands of movies and TV shows with the click of a button, at the same time there really is nothing like taking a trip to the theater or renting a DVD from a nearby shop. I considered this all while talking with the bearded cinephile store owner behind the counter. Yet, with the worldwide phenomenon of streaming, many video stores began to disappear. Blockbuster
shut down all its stores by early 2014, and really it’s quite amazing that a number of independent ones have survived for this long. If only people would see the irreplaceable joy and sensation of renting videos instead of streaming them. Our culture lives and breathes convenience. If information, messages or entertainment is not delivered to us instantaneously, we act as though the apocalypse is upon us; at the rate at which technology is advancing, SkyNet is becoming all the more plausible. I myself am guilty of this. I can’t recall how many times I’ve become infuriated when my Wi-Fi is too slow, or how many times I’ve cringed when painfully slow internet connection has interrupted a screening on Netf lix. But with watching DVDs and BluRays, you don’t have to worry about Wi-Fi connection or buffering. All you have to do is pop in a disc and enjoy both the film and any number of bonus features it contains. No matter how many movies or shows you stream, you can’t access the commentaries or behind-the-scenes material unless you have your own copy of the film. Beyond this, renting videos and going to cinemas makes it more of an experience and forces you to socialize. Part of the joy of going to North American Video was always the interactions I had with other film buffs who shared my inter-

ests. We would eagerly discuss our favorite directors, films, shows and just get to know one another. Sure numerous outlets exist for online discussion, but it just isn’t the same as leaving the comfort of your own home and actually meeting people in person. I write this not in the hopes of eliminating streaming. I myself am a Netflix junkie and have bingewatched a number of its original series, including “House of Cards,” “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” and “Sense8.” Streaming offers a whole other dimension for how we access and experience entertainment. These sites also allow users to stream a number of independent and foreign films that are otherwise hard to find. I recently watched on Netf lix the 2009 European fantasy drama “Mr. Nobody,” a movie that didn’t make it to the United States until 2013, which even the late Roger Ebert failed to review. While it does have its benefits, streaming should not be the only way we watch movies. Instead of going to your laptop, or, heaven forbid, your iPhone to see what’s new on Netf lix, try instead looking through your DVD collection or searching for a rental store in your area. Engage with what you watch, and talk about it with others. I think you’ll find the rewards more satisfying than the instant gratification of streaming.

n the current hyper-bipartisan atmosphere of politics, you may have heard the “pro” prefix thrown Bryan around more Maxwell Guest Columnist often than glitter at a Kesha concert. The subjectivity of most political issues is fissuring down the middle, and from opposite rims of the canyon left behind, political parties are yelling a stream of dualities. One of these is the pro-business/pro-environment divide. And, like the pro-life/pro-choice schism, the “pro-ers” are more concerned and vocal about the “anti-ness” of the other side than their own stance. If you’re not with me, you’re against me. Often this leaves the less polarized individuals wary of voicing their opinions: “I don’t hate business; I just like the environment.” And this is really the main point. When we form the stance of being pro-environment, it is really only because we want for a better environment. And who wouldn’t? Who isn’t pro-cleanwater? Who doesn’t support the notion of less respiratory problems for the young, elderly and asthmatics because our air has less mercury and ozone in it? I can undoubtedly say that I’m pro-a-world-where-my-futurenieces-and-nephews-can-swimin-the-Neuse-without-worrying-about-nerve-toxins-fromalgae-blooms-caused-by-poorwater-quality-management. It’d even be cool to eat the fish I catch in William B. Umstead Park without having to worry about a warning sign telling me there are too many PCBs in the water to consume the fish. In the pro-environment world, the majority of us aren’t antibusiness. How could we be? It’s hard to imagine a functioning society without the exchange of goods and services. I love buying books at bookstores — to a lesser extent, textbooks. What I don’t love are negligent business practices that value profit margins over public safety, especially when one comes at the expense of the other. And, to be clear, thousands of examples of socially responsible businesses currently exist. Enter Google, Disney, Toms and Microsoft.

Patagonia even encourages its customers to buy less, curtailing consumerism and making it easy to be pro-business. On the other hand, I don’t have to support BP’s Gulf of Mexico spill wrecking ecosystems and thousands of livelihoods in the region out of gross negligence. To this extent, I don’t support Chinese-owned Smithfield Foods creating pig populations whose waste they can’t handle, wrecking air and water quality in eastern NC and forcing nearby locals to stay indoors. I don’t support cheap solutions to serious issues caused by Duke Energy that result in historic discharges of toxic coal ash to our state’s waters. I don’t support them then lobbying against efforts in our state to stimulate clean energy, and I definitely do not support our governor, their former employee, low-fiving them with a paltry fine, having stock in their company and then suing our own state legislators in order to be put in charge of organizing the “independent” committee charged with Duke’s oversight. What pro-environmentalists aren’t is anti-business. What we are is against disregard for what’s best for everyone. We’re against leaving the world a worse place. We’re against corporations being allowed to drop millions on lobbying, who remain unaccountable for their harm on the environment and then cry, “The costs will be passed on to the consumer!” when threatened with regulation; we’re against privatizing profits then socializing costs. And that, in essence, reveals the issue with the polarization of politics. People on either side will say you can’t be in one camp and the other when it’s the middle ground we have to reach. Pro-environmentalism isn’t anti-business. Rather, we have serious issues with the fatal flaws that allow it to continue to corrupt our air, water, soil and government. If the success of a business hinges on the decline in health of any portion of the people, then maybe it is time for that enterprise to go the way of social Darwinism and expire.

On the Oval chef goes to ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ and back Carolyn Thompson Correspondent
On the Oval chef Jessica Boynton has a lot to tell about the life and experiences of being a chef, including her experience as a participant on season 16 of “Hell’s Kitchen,” a reality television cooking competition hosted by Gordon Ramsay. Boynton has been a chef for 15 years and works at all four of On the Oval’s micro-restaurants on Centennial Campus. Question: Who or what influenced you to become a part of the culinary world? Answer: What influenced me was my stepfather. That was my first job. The culinary field was not something I chose — it chose me. My first job was going in as a short-order cook, because my mom was like ‘It’s time for you to get a job,’ so guess what? My mom and my stepfather at the time went out and got me a job. There was no me getting to apply for a job; there was no application field. It was more like ‘you start tomorrow at this place,’ and I was like ‘OK, y’know, whatever.’ Once I actually started getting into cooking, I learned that I actually enjoyed it. I was actually going to college for criminal justice. Well, I got out of that field and have been in the culinary field since 2000, so for 15 years now. I know a lot of people are like ‘wow that’s so long,’ but actually I think I’m still a baby compared to the many years that most of these chefs have been. Q: People often don’t get a behind-thescenes look at the work that goes on in the kitchen. What is a day in the life of a chef during that process? A: A day in the life behind the scenes is planning. There’s so much planning that goes into a menu and into how much it costs, because if we don’t know what it is, and we don’t know the cost of it, we could be eating ourselves alive because we put the wrong price of how much we should actually charge for it. Also, ordering. You have to know what you got in the coolers so you know what you’re gonna have to order. You gotta keep up with inventory; you gotta keep up with how much our labor cost is — our food cost is. There’s not a day that goes by that we don’t have a plan of some kind. You gotta plan. Q: What were some of the most difficult aspects of building up your career and becoming a chef? A: Being a female. That’s one of the hardest ones in the culinary field — being a woman. Now that I have 15 years under my belt, I know how to walk into a kitchen and get the respect that I deserve out of it. Starting out, for any person in any career, I’m gonna tell you like it is, a female, we don’t get no respect. We really don’t. They don’t look at us like we’re capable. They look at us like ‘Well, you’re a woman, what the hell do you know’ — but as you gain knowledge and as you earn that respect and as you command that respect, it gets easier along the way. And it has; it’s gotten a lot easier. I

can now walk into the kitchen, and they know I don’t play. I can go into any restaurant that I’ve walked into and [be like] ‘Look, I don’t care that you don’t think I don’t know how to do this. I can do it, and I’m gonna show you that I can.’ That’s a lot of it — being a woman is the hardest part in our field. Q: How would you describe the competitive nature of the culinary field from your experiences? A: In real life, it’s not that competitive. You work your way into knowing what you don’t know, and you ask questions along the way, or if you screw up you say ‘Look, I screwed up. How do I fix it?’ It’s more of a learning process in the real world. In practice, life or television, that competitiveness will always be there. Q: What were your expectations of reality TV before appearing on “Hell’s Kitchen,” and how was your experience different from those expectations? A: I didn’t have any because I had never watched it. What I learned through doing reality TV was that it’s not really all reality. There’s a lot of guidance. There’s a lot of ‘don’t do this; do that instead.’ There’s a lot of coaching — there’s a lot of pushing. They want you to say what they want you to say, and they’ll have you repeat it. If they don’t want you to say [something] they’ll be like ‘no, no, no, don’t say it that way.’ They want you to say it their way. So there’s a lot of that. The most reality in a reality TV show is when you’re actually doing whatever you’re supposed to be doing, like
cooking for me was it. So when I was actually in the kitchen, that was the reality. That was me performing my skills. That was me either screwing up or doing really good. That was my skillset at that time. Everything else — I mean the drama is there because you’re in a small, confined space with a bunch of people you don’t know and a bunch of different attitudes that you don’t know. I mean there’s lots you don’t know. You make the best of what you can work with, and that’s what I did. I did the best I could with what I had at that time. Q: Do you think that whether or not one goes to a culinary-based school or a school with a culinary department really affects career opportunities? A: My experience with culinary people in the school setting, they don’t get the real life experience. They’re taught in a perfect world setting. In a perfect world, this is how you would run your kitchen. In a perfect world, this is what your food cost would be. Unless you go and you’re cooking in a real restaurant setting, and then you’re going to culinary school just to get the certificate or degree just as a booster, then you’ll know. Like with any career, if you’re not in that field knowing what real life is like versus what you’re learning in a textbook, you’re not gonna know the difference. You’re gonna walk into this building or any field that you go into and think that that textbook is what you should be going off of, because that’s what you learned. If you walk in and say ‘I was self-taught, and I’m willing
to learn’ versus a culinary student that says ‘Yeah, well I learned it from school so I already know.’ I’ll work more with the self-taught person, because they’re more open-minded. Q: What are some of the most satisfying aspects of being a chef? A: Knowing that you can get the people around you to follow you, because they know that you know what you’re talking about when you’re doing what you’re doing. Those are satisfying for me. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t thank the guys that I work with every day. They’re the ones that make me good. If I don’t teach them how to do something, I look like the dumb person, not them. Knowing that I taught my team what to do when I say I need them to do it, that’s satisfying. Knowing that I could snap my fingers and get 100 people to do 100 different things. It’s better than me having to run around and do it all. Q: What advice would you give to an aspiring chef facing these stresses and pressures, and maybe more specifically a female chef? A: Grow with your mistakes. If you make them, own them, and grow with them. Take the advice and the knowledge that past or even the chefs you work with that have made those mistakes. Take their knowledge. Take their guidance. Take their — whatever you wanna call it — advice, training, whatever. Take that with you, and know that they’re not being hard on you for no reason. They’re being hard on you because they believe that you can do it.
Harrelson Hall fans have the opportunity to say farewell Alix Vo Correspondent
This fall, the NC State Wake County Alumni Network will host one final tour of Harrelson Hall, the infamous circular building that has sat in the Brickyard since 1961. Come spring, Harrelson will undergo preparations for demolition, which is slated for summer 2016. Harrelson Hall is known for being the first cylindrical classroom building ever on a university campus. It is also known as one of NC State’s most dysfunctional and poorly constructed buildings. NC State has been planning to demolish the building since 2002 but it wasn’t until this year that all the classrooms were moved out. Lisa Johnson, university architect for NC State, has been working on the project since the beginning. “We’re planning on starting selective demolition spring semester and the heavy demolition, which is the process of actually taking the physical building down, around next summer,” Johnson said. The building’s classrooms don’t meet the American with Disabilities Act requirements, and to bring it up to code would require restructuring, which is expensive. The budget prevents Harrelson Hall from having enough seating and upgrading essential classroom equipment. According to the Harrelson Hall Replacement and Renovation Study, renovating the building costs about
$13,609,000 while the total replacement costs about $18,621,000. Even though the demolition costs more, it would allow the university a chance to structure accessible classrooms and quality equipment. According to Johnson, the building will most likely be locked in the fall after everyone has cleared out. When the building is demolished, the empty lot will be restored into a green space as a placeholder for a future science commons building that will be used for interdisciplinary science teaching. “There’s no timeline for that project so far,” Johnson said. “So until it comes online and there’s funding for it, the empty space will be a green space.” Rebeka h Dunstan, Campus Connections chair, is planning a “Harrelson Hall Farewell Tour” for alumni. “I am excited about planning the tour because even though Harrelson Hall is infamous for being confusing and an eyesore, it’s still interesting in regard to history and architecture,” Dunstan said. “The details of the tour are still being worked out since it is not taking place until the end of October. It will be great to provide one last opportunity to tour the building before its deconstruction begins.” The NC State Wake County Alumni Network strives to further the mission of the Alumni Association by engaging alumni and friends through opportuni-

ties for connection, education and service in order to enhance lifelong connections with the university. The network plans to have guests from Kimley-Horn, a design consulting firm that was selected to investigate and identify potential challenges with the deconstruction of Harrelson Hall, to talk about the project, provide a display of photos of Harrelson Hall during the years and invite faculty and staff who have worked in Harrelson Hall to share some of their memories of the
building. Adam Compton graduated in 2009 and is the Wake County Network director for the Alumni Association. He will be attending the tour in October. “We have so many alumni that live in the area, yet they often don’t get back on campus enough,” Compton said. “They may go to a football game but can’t recall the last time they walked the Free Expression Tunnel. It will be great to hear what the future holds for that space.”
Laurie Mitchell is an alumni who helped organize the tour. “Hopefully the building will be replaced by a more practical one with natural lights and spacious classrooms,” she said. “I’ve spent the majority of my undergraduate years in Harrelson, and returning to the building to say goodbye will be bittersweet to say the least.”

recovers from a broken metatarsal. Findley got a good look at his defensive options in the second half, with freshman Aidan Wixted, a natural right back who also featured in the middle, standing out as a composed and strong presence despite his lack of collegiate ex-
perience. Phil Carmon, back again as a graduate student, also looked explosive and dangerous from right back, despite having not played the position in his collegiate career. “It’s good to be back out here with these guys,” Carmon said. “We played some good soccer, and I even played a new position at right back … I think we all played pretty well but were unfortunate to get the loss.”

Sophomore Ryan Peterson was an integral rotation piece last year and started against Campbell, while former Carolina Rapids Academy standout Tanner Roberts scored the Pack’s only goal of the night.
The freshman from Charlotte enrolled in January, and that exposure helped him immensely, he said. “The speed of play going from academy to [college] is completely different,” Roberts said. “While I only played in the first two games [in the spring] it definitely helped a lot.” Roberts’ goal was a welltaken header off a corner kick played in by another freshman

Exhibitions prepare State for season Pack football elects leadership council On Monday, the NC State football team elected its leadership council. The council comprises eight seniors, five juniors, six sophomores and seven freshmen. Notable names among the group are redshirt senior Jacoby Brissett, senior running back Shadrach Thornton, junior cornerback Jack Tocho and sophomore guard Tony Adams. The leadership council is a way for players to voice their opinions on certain matters to the coaching staff. One of the first things the council asked head coach Dave Doeren was to hold an open practice for students. He agreed, and students are welcome to attend an open practice on Friday morning from 9:45 a.m. until noon at Dail Practice Facility. SOURCE: NC STATE ATHLETICS
Walk-on cornerback Nick Lacy earns football scholarship Redshirt sophomore cornerback Nick Lacy was awarded with a scholarship during a team meeting on Monday. Defensive backs coach George Barlow made the announcement regarding the former walk-on during a team meeting in which he preached hard work and sacrifice. When Barlow made the announcement, Lacy’s teammates stormed the front of the room in celebration. The 5-foot7, 181-pound, Pinehurst, North Carolina native saw action in four games on special teams last season and garnered one fumble recovery. SOURCE: YAHOO SPORTS
QUOTE OF THE DAY “The more players we have stepping up each and every day, the more our offense grows.” Jacoby Brissett Redshirt senior quarterback

Although competitive matches don’t begin for a little more than a week, the NC State men’s soccer team is already engaged in preseason play and takes on Elon at Dail Stadium tonight at 7 p.m. The Wolfpack began the preseason with a 2-1 loss to Campbell in Buies Creek during the weekend, but the score itself hardly acts as a predictor for the team’s future, according to head coach Kelly Findley. “I don’t really care about our result in preseason; I care about our
process,” Findley said. “We made a couple mistakes, and we need to clean those up.” The NC State team dominated and controlled play with patient possession, as the Campbell squad sat deep in its own half and looked to counter attack; but it was that strategy that troubled a virtually brand new Wolfpack defense. The Camels’ sophomore forward Bradley Farias’ combination of pace and dribbling ability created two first-half goals against the run of play. “It was a really good challenge for us,” Findley said. “When a team sits that deep and asks you to break them
down, you have to be really sharp with the ball, and the few times we weren’t the kid who was conference player of the year broke that down for us.” Both of the Wolfpack’s center backs who started the season in 2014, Clement Simonin and Conor Donovan, are now playing professionally in Major League Soccer, while both players who featured at right back, Ryan Metts and Matt Ingram, graduated. Against the Camels, Findley experimented with a number of players at the back. Right midfielder Travis Wannemuehler moved to right back at the start, a position he featured in at the end of the spring season, and
German signing Simon Blotko partnered with senior Reed Norton, who played everywhere from left back to center forward in 2014, in central defense. Sophomore Caleb Duvernay, who earned a starting spot last year, continued at left back. With so many players shuffling into new positions, the defense will take time to gel. However, there’s no certainty this same group ends up starting in a few weeks, especially as sophomore Matias Fracchia, who started about half of last season as a replacement for the injured Simonin,

Pack travels west for two preseason tests Daniel Lacy Assistant Sports Editor
After a blowout 3-0 loss in an exhibition game against No. 11 South Carolina last week, the NC State women’s soccer team looks to bounce back this weekend as it travels to San Diego for matchups against the University of San Diego Friday and No. 10 Pepperdine Sunday. Howev er, the exhibition loss wasn’t completely discouraging, as the Wolfpack was missing a few key players to injury, including redshirt sophomore forward Jackie Stengel and sophomore defender Cailyn Boch. “We had a few key players out tonight, but they should be back in the next week or so,” head coach Tim Santoro said. “They were good players for us last year; we were just being conservative with them.” Stengel was a last-mi nute scratch, sitting as a precaution after sustaining an unrelated injury to the knee that held her to just three games last season. Boch was a mainstay of a defense that allowed 45 goals last season, a spot that the Pack will have to improve on coming into this season. “I’m really confident with our lineup once they get healthy,” Santoro said. “We’ve been able to put together a good 14 to 15 players that are more competitive than they have been the last few years. We’re closer than what we showed tonight.”

Redshirt Junior Dayna Tomayko chases down a passed ball as senior forward Caroline Gentry provides backup. Tomayko had two shots on goal during the exhibition against No. 11 South Carolina. The Pack lost the threeperiod exhibition 3-0 on last Friday at Dail Soccer Stadium.
Additionally, NC State lost forward Franziska Jaser, who left the team to play professionally in Germany. Jaser recorded three assists in her only season with the Pack, and it will take some time for the team to adjust to her loss. “Anytime you lose a player like that, I don’t know if you replace her,” Santoro said. “We have some freshmen that can play in that position, but it will be about midway through the season before we find a replacement for her.” The Friday matchup against the Toreros is set to kick off at 10:30 p.m. San Diego was picked to finish fourth in the West Coast
Conference preseason poll after finishing last season with a 10-8-2 (6-3 WCC) record. A Toreros player to look out for will be junior midfielder Jacqueline Altschund. For the second year in a row, she was selected to the preseason All-WCC team after tallying five goals and three assists last season. The Sunday matchup against Pepperdine w ill ta ke place at 5:30 p.m. Despite the fact that t he Waves were t he h ig hest ranked team in the WCC, they were picked for third place in the preseason poll. In 2014, Pepperdine finished with a stellar 16-3-4
(6-1-2 WCC) record en route to a Sweet Sixteen run in the NCAA Tournament. For t he Waves, sophomore midfielder Hailey Harbison was named to the preseason All-WCC team after being named WCC Freshman of the Year last season. Last season, she garnered one goal, two assists and was part of a defense that allowed a mere 16 goals all year. NC State will look to start off quickly after finishing last season with a poor 2-15-2 record. However, a fast start will be tough to accomplish against these two quality opponents.
COMMENTARY
Hope and heartbreak as a fan of the Wolfpack Sports simulate real life situations, or so the argument in favor of athletics goes. Athletes who play sports learn valuable lessons, like work ethic and dealing with adversity. The theory is that they can then apply those lessons to the real world and be better Christian Candeloro people because of it. Well, if that same Staff Writer theory applies to sports fans, then NC State fans should be the most prepared for life of all. When I arrived on campus for my freshman year two years ago, the attitude toward NC State athletics was one of tense hope. Fans were proud to call themselves Wolfpack fans, no doubt, but they were never about to predict their team to be a major player once bowl season
or the NCAA Tournament rolled around. There was a singular voice beating down on me from all directions, saying, “They’re gonna let us down eventually.” That was definitely true in 201314, which saw the Wolfpack football team lose eight straight games to end the season and finish 3-9. The NC State baseball team came in with a bevy of future draft picks and were a one-and-done in the ACC Tournament. The women’s basketball team, a top-25 team for most of the season, lost three players to injury late in the season and could never recover to make a run. Perhaps most crushing of all was the basketball team, which blew a 14-point lead over St. Louis in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, missing 17 free throws along the way. 2013 was a rough year to be an NC State fan, but everything started to
change in 2014. The traditional Pack letdown was turning around. Sure, many of the teams had less-thanstellar stretches preceding their big pushes, but wow was it fun to watch them when they were bringing topshelf athletics to NC State. Is that scoreboard right? Is NC State really up 35-0 on UNC-Chapel Hill in Keenan Memorial Stadium? You better believe it. Couple that with basketball team’s 58-46 win in February and you have one amazing year against UNC. There were some incredible moments from 2014-15. What was more fun than watching Wolfpack first baseman Preston Palmeiro fly around the bases on a walk-off Little League home run in the ACC Tournament against Miami? Who didn’t jump and scream like a madman when forward Beejay Anya’s hook shot dropped LSU in the NCAA Tournament?
There were some incredible teams from 2014-15. The Wolfpack swimming and diving teams won the ACC Championship and finished eighth at Nationals. The softball team reached the Super Regionals behind the arms of Emily Weiman and Courtney Mirabella and the bat of Renada Davis. There were also the lowlights that remind you why sports can take you so high and so low in the span of a season. There was the 41-0 rout at the hands of the Clemson Tigers in football. There was the tragic return of referee Karl Hess, who had to be the one to call off forward Trevor Lacey’s apparent buzzer-beating three-pointer. And of course, there was the baseball team blowing an 8-1 lead against TCU in the Regionals of the NCAA Tournament. These moments hurt, but that’s what makes the 2015-16 season all the more exciting. There are real
reasons to believe now that maybe the Wolfpack won’t let you down: The football team has a chance behind quarterback Jacoby Brissett to be a factor in the ACC; national champion wrestler Nick Gwiazdowski returns for another year; the baseball team has a bevy of talent returning and a good recruiting class coming in; the women’s basketball team has a top-25 recruiting class for 2015. It will be weird not seeing Wolfpack staples like Weiman and Lacey come back, but the teams return real talent that can compete now. So if you’re a returning fan of the Wolfpack, prepare for another year of highs and lows with the pendulum swinging more in our favor. If you’re just coming on board like I was two years ago, prepare for an education.
