Pullen Park welcomes new businessTRANSCRIPT
Raleigh, North Carolina
A new cafe had opened up in the newly renovated Pullen Park.
Elise HeglarNews Editor
After undergoing nearly two years of renovations, Pullen Park has reopened full of improvement, including a new cafe that supports locally produced food.
The park has been under construc-tion since December 2009 and the project cost about $6 million to com-plete. Pullen Park is North Carolina’s first amusement park; it was estab-lished in 1887.
On Saturday, the park opened for the first time since construction started. Students and Raleigh families alike strolled through the new park where they were able to enjoy updated facilities, including a new climate-controlled carousel house.
In addition to the updates made to original park facilities, a new cafe has been added. Pullen Place Cafe and Ca-tering offers healthy eating options for park visitors that are locally produced.
“We’re a cafe located in the park serving locally sourced food at low prices. We want to be a food destina-tion for N.C. State students and the people of Raleigh,” Steve Mangano, one of the Pullen Place founders, said.
According to Mangano, providing local food was one of the main priori-ties of the business. The menu will be seasonal in accordance to what local producers are able to provide.
“It’s something that we’re very pas-sionate about. The park is a place where the whole community comes together, so the opportunity to offer locally produced food to the public was too good to pass up,” Mangano said.
The menu of the café is very differ-ent from standard amusement park fare; while it does include hotdogs and hamburgers, things like hummus and pita, deli sandwiches and salads are also available.
Mangano said that offering healthy options was one of the most important things to the owners. The menu has a wide variety and a fairly low price point, with no individual items priced at over $7.
“St udent s c a n come by to get some-thing quick and then return to the park and enjoy their day,” Mangano said.
While the Pullen Place facilities are small, Mangano says that serving large quantities of people at once will not be an issue. It is a walk-up service and there are 50 outdoor seats available near the café in addition to covered areas inter-
spersed around the park.“We’re able to serve a lot of people.
Storage is really our biggest issue, not so much volume,” Mangano said.
Rianne Whittington, freshman in political science, says she is excited to visit the newly updated park since it has con-sistently been under renovation since her arrival at the Uni-versity.
“I definitely want to go see it sometime soon. I’ve heard a lot of people talk about it but I have never
visited it before,” Whittington said.Whittington is excited to see a cafe
offering local food and healthy menu
options.“The only options on campus are
the dining hall or places like Chick-fil-A and Taco Bell, so it’s good to have some healthy options off-campus,” Whittington said.
Matt Walker, senior in com-munications, found it interesting that Pullen Park not only added a cafe, but that it provides so many healthy eating options.
“I find it interesting that it’s a healthy food place and not some-thing like a McDonald’s,” Walker said.
Walker also said that having a full-service cafe makes Pullen Park stand out as a city park.
“I’ve never seen a city park with a cafe. It makes it different and more attractive,” Walker said.

Pullen Park welcomes new business
‘Windhover’s’ second open mic night of the year showcased various types of talent.
Zach GreenCorrespondent
Windhover, the University’s literary and art magazine, showcased various types of talent during their second open mic night of the year.
The event began with food and patch-painting table for attendees to get involved in the evening artisti-cally. It then continued with the 16 performances from students, faculty and alumni sharing their creative tal-ent; there were both solo and group performances covering a wide range of artistic expression such as poetry, short story readings and musical per-formances.
“There’s such a wide variety of things to do,” Jaimie Harwood, senior in English education, said.
Past editions of Windhover were available to look through and see how the publication has changed through the years. The most recent edition was available, as well as information about contributing to the upcoming edition. A critique sheet was available allowing for feedback on different components of the book, as well as a section for new ideas for future publications.
“The quality of the book was good,” Jonathan Weeks, junior in human bi-ology, said, “More well produced than I assumed.”
The patch-painting table was popu-lar with attendees and seemed to be a hotspot of activity. Small squares of cloth pre-stenciled with designs from

The annual Ladies in Red concert Saturday night featured new arrangements of popular music.
Anna RileyStaff Writer
The Ladies in Red female acapella group featured new arrangements of popular music during their annual concert Saturday night.
The Ladies in Red have been per-forming since 1993 and typically have one big show per semester. This se-mester the “Ladies” were Tricia Artim, Gracie Bell, Tracy Kristin Johnson, Ashley Oskardmay, Chelsea Schwabe, Olivia Springer and Krystal Rodas. They performed their yearly show to a packed theater of onlookers and
supporters.Sponsored by the N.C. State Music
Department, the group has a diverse makeup of girls with various sing-ing talents. Though a professional staff supports them, the girls manage themselves and are responsible for the quality of their productions.
This year, music directors and mem-bers of the group Chelsea Schwabe and Ashley Oskardmay took the ladies in a Top 40 direction, selecting and ar-ranging popular songs and riffs for performances.
“[Ashley and I] have been doing collaborative arranging with songs we like and putting a creative spin on them,” Schwabe said. “We [music directors] have a vision for the group

Students show support and dissent at a meeting discussing possible $330 tuition increase.
Will BrooksStaff Writer
Students made an appearance at the board of directors meeting Fri-day morning to make a case against the newly proposed tuition increase of $330.
The meeting inclined students to come forth with ideas and criticisms of the University budget. Daniel Eck-ert, junior in computer engineering, explained at the meeting that the University has put an emphasis on research, which is increasing costs and lowering classroom value.
“One of the things that I have seen is the difference between research and scholarship from a professional perspective,” Eckert said. “We are asked to continually pay more and more money for an education that’s trending away from a closeness in the classroom.”
Senior Class President John Tucker made an appearance at the meeting, explaining that students need to be informed about the cut. With the information delivered through the monthly “HOWL” email, over one hundred students responded for and against the change in tuition.
“It was incredible how many stu-dents actually supported a tuition increase, but they understood what it was going towards,” Tucker said, “The most common theme for those who were for a tuition increase was an increase in the amount of faculty and staff salary increases.”
An increased response from stu-dents has been taken well by Student Government, including Chandler Thompson, student body president. Chandler explained that she wanted

“It’s never too cold for music.”
Justin Hayslette, engineering undesignated transfer, plays drums along with the other two members of his band called “Day and Night” near the Free Expression Tunnel. Guitarist Justin Baker says he has always had a passion for music and being in the band allows him to play more than ever. Hayslette added, “It’s never too cold for music. Right now
my fingers are freezing and hurt but I’m still here to play.”

COMPETITIVE SCHOLARSHIPS FORScience, Engineering, and Applied Math Students
King Abdullah University of Science and TechnologyAn international, graduate university located on theshores of the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia
Windhover were available for people to paint.
“It’s a really cool addition, people said it was one of the reasons they came,” Alanna Howard, editor-in-chief of Windhover, said
The patches were added to the event in order to give at-tendees the opportunity to participate in a hands-on way.
“We wanted a way for ev-eryone to participate,” Chel-sea Amato, design editor and a senior in graphic design, said.
According to Amato, the de-signs were based off of Greek myths and signified different forms of art. The bee, a sym-bol of the foundation of society, was also incorporated into the designs.
The performances started around 7 p.m. and continued
for well over an hour. The night consisted of mostly poetry and musical performances with a couple of short story read-ings. Each performance lasted roughly five minutes. While most of the performers were current students, several of them were returning alumni.
For the piano and vocal duo, Michael Valeri, sophomore in chemical engineering and Danielle Souder, sophomore in industrial design, this event was a chance for them to show-case their talents with fellow students.
“It’s really cool that there are events like this on campus, we never had an avenue to share our music before,” Souder said.
There were performers from various colleges within the University, highlighting the diversity of the event.
“Events like this are great for the school,” David Delgado, se-nior in science education, said.
There were also two acts by international students, both of which were musical perfor-mances. Muntazar Monsur, a student from Bangladesh, per-formed a love song he played on guitar and sang in Bengali, the language of his home coun-try.
The other international act was singer and guitar duo Cyn-thia Noury, senior in commu-nication and Danny Riordan, junior in math. Noury is from Montréal Canada and Rior-dan from Ireland. The pair performed a Canadian song that had topped the charts in previous years.
“It’s really nice to see the art-sy side of State,” Riordan said.
Tim Reavis, senior in psy-chology, has performed his poetry at multiple Windhover events in the past. He said he enjoyed this year’s event.
“I really liked the feel of this one,” Reavis said.

—where we want to take it —and we’re looking to ap-peal to a younger crowd and reach out to the N.C. State community.”
According to Schwabe, Saturday night’s perfor-mance boasted one of the girls’ best arrangements yet. She said their song “Hell on Heels” was a collective har-mony that turned out to showcase their best assets and talents.
“Each of our parts mat-tered. Each was an impor-tant piece of the song as a whole,” Schwabe said.
Group member and soph-omore in communications Olivia Springer said she agreed with Schwabe about
the arrangement.“’Hell on Heels’ really fit our
voices. It definitely was a very appealing song,” Springer said.
Springer said she felt strongly about the group’s “Rolling in the Deep” and “Crazy” mash up. She said it was a vocal-intensive song that was fun to perform. Songs that are popular and relatable with the university community are, ac-cording to Springer, vital for good performances.
“It’s really important, espe-cially for an a cappella group, to give people stuff they’ve heard before but with a twist. That’s what draws people in,” Springer said.
Stephen Wrightenberry, senior in mechanical engi-neering and former member of the Grains of Time, is a fan of the Ladies in Red. He said he thinks the girls have a solid
foundation of talent that will carry them to success. Wright-enberry said his old group, which is an all-male version a capella group, is supportive of the Ladies’ musical direction.
“They have some raw talent that is unmatched. All the girls have really strong voices and as a group they perform well to-gether,” Wrightenberry said.
Schwabe, senior in com-munications, said although she is leaving the group when she graduates in May, she feels comfortable about the future of the Ladies in Red. With Oskardmay taking over the musical direction of the girls, Schwabe said the group will only get better.
“I feel like I’m leaving them in a good place. We’ve progressed and grown so much and Ash-ley is going to be a really strong leader,” Schwabe said.

students to be more informed about what is going on with their tuition.
“Some students really felt the budget cuts this year, and they communicated that to me in their emails,” Thompson said.
Thompson proposed a tu-ition talk in the Brickyard so that students can voice their concerns openly in a large, popular space for students. She made it clear that tuition information needs to be re-leased and interacted with the student body.
“The last thing that I think anyone wants to see happen is another ‘July Surprise,’” Chan-dler said.
Last year a tuition increase was proposed in July, right be-fore school started and while most students were away from the University. The increase
came without warning to stu-dents.
Chancellor Randy Woodson explained in an email that the Board of Governors determines all tuition changes and that the Board of Trustees recommends tuition to them.
“Following this process the BOG authorized universities to consider a one time “catch up” in tuition given the very low tuition we have relative to our peers,” Woodson stated in the email.
Woodson explained that among the University’s land grant “peers,” our University has the second lowest tuition; the catch-up in tuition will be a $1,200 increase over five years. Annually, students will see an increase of about $240, the lowest percentage increase proposed by any UNC-System school.
“In spite of this the signifi-cant reductions have resulted in limited class sections and
much larger class sizes,” Woodson stated in the email.
Woodson said that the Board of Trustees would like to see faculty pay raises, an increase in hiring, and continuation of providing “critical financial aid.”
Budget cuts and tuition increases have been a theme of the UNC system from the beginning of the recession, problems that all universities are learning to deal with.
Eckert said he believes that the problem is where a con-fused staff is spending the money.
“We put a 30 percent increase in enrollment and we want a 15 percent increase in faculty,” Eckert said, “I would encour-age us to address the identity crisis that we seem to be having in terms of where the money is being spent, and where the money is coming from.”

Fresh off the heels of drop-ping the Heels and drop-ping one to Boston Col-
lege we entered Homecoming Week. We entered into a week of celebration. We entered a week that magnetized the N.C. State family, bringing students, alumni, faculty and the com-munity together all through a football game.
Often unrecognized, but pos-sibly one of the most impres-sive aspects of homecoming week is the student leadership involved. Homecoming Week is organized by the Alumni Association Student Ambas-sador Program and assisted by other student organizations on campus. Through partner-ships with local companies and other groups ASSAP provides all homecoming activities free of charge to students, all they have to do is show up and show
their spirit. AASAP efforts have made homecoming at N.C. State the largest student-led homecoming in the ACC.
AASAP started homecom-ing week with a ‘Kick Off ’ that lived up to the theme ‘Tame the Tigers’. With inflatables, crafts, caricature artists, the circus theme hit home in a great way. Homecoming shirts and pizzas were available free of charge to any students who showed up and while supplies lasted. The success of the event foreshad-owed the success of the rest of the week.
Throughout the week AAS-AP fed students through their ‘Wear Red Get Fed’ campaign, an event easy on the eyes and the stomach. Every day in the
brickyard, AASAP partnered with local restaurants to bring food to students wearing at least a handful of red. Food was provided by student favor-ites such as: Moes, Dominos, and Marco’s. Food flew out of as soon as it was delivered. Generally, within an hour sup-plies were exhausted, leaving nothing but a sea of red in the brickyard.
As school sprit approached its peak, we took to the streets. The parade on Hillsborough Street Friday displayed the cre-ativity and the vigor found at N.C. State. The parade was a sight to behold. Paper-mache tigers were juxtaposed against wolves. Students dressed them-selves in tiger costumes and
caged themselves. And as the band marched down the street and the chancellor cruised by a tangible sense of commu-nity was solidified for all those spectating.
The only thing that stood in the way of a perfect homecom-ing week were the #7 Clemson Tigers. With the electricity of the week coursing through the veins of everyone in Carter-Finely Stadium on Saturday we all knew we were about to see something special; how-ever, what we saw exceeded all expectations. Glennon’s arial assault and our lock-down de-fense yielded a score that still requires a double take. It was the perfect cap to the most iconic week of the college ex-perience.
The unsigned editorial is the opinion of the members of Technician’s editorial board, excluding the news department, and is the
responsibility of the editor-in-chief.
A perfect homecomingThe FacTs:Last week AASAP organized homecoming week. Homecoming week organized school spirit through activities in and around campus and culminated in the N.C. State-Clemson football game Saturday. N.C. State won 37-13
Our OpiniOn:Start to finish; homecoming was a success this year. Whether its free food, shirts, or that dropping of a rival and a top 10, homecoming fired on all cylinders. The student-lead homecoming week was something special, something that should be applauded.

The state of television
As you f lip through the channels you are inundated with
commercials for cars, cos-metics, restaurants, foods, banks and everything else
y o u c a n dream of finding in the annals of the well that is the commer-cial sector. I f you’re lucky you happen
upon a snippet of actual TV. You’ll find parts of cartoons that remind you of your childhood. Sometimes you come across an old movie that you think you might have liked a long time ago. If you are astute, you might flip to a news channel and catch up on what’s going on in the world.
If you keep on surfing, however, you are bound to find yourself confronted by the demons of horrendous TV which few manage to escape. A place where the domestic disputes between trashy men and women are celebrated and the house-wives of every city in Amer-ica are in a constant catfight for pride that rivals the tension found between the gangs of LA, a place where Bridezillas torment the lives of everyone around them in an effort to establish their dominance as Queen of the
Universe.This dark world of ‘reality’
television has been poisoning the minds of our youth for far too long. On MTV, a network that is supposedly about music, there is a show called 16 And Pregnant. The first time I heard the name of the show, I knew that nothing good would ever be seen.
As I do before everything I write, I did some research which in this case was to ac-tually subject myself to the show and confirm my original thoughts. Making it through the whole episode took more will power than I had myself. I actually had to go and find Dr. Ludovico and ask him for the machine that he used to cure Alex of his violent tendencies just so I could make it through.
Watching teen pregnancy and irresponsibility being cel-ebrated instead of reprimanded is infuriating to think about. Having a child is no light mat-ter and the show completely fails to represent that. When TV makes it look so easy to have a child while still in high school, it’s no surprise that the United States has a higher rate of teen pregnancy than any other developed nation in the world.
Despicable attitudes and poor world outlooks also have found a footing in ‘real’ TV. Shows that seem to be about cakes actually focus on the drama between the chefs and a show about wedding dresses is actually subjugating us to the
horrible people trying on the dresses. While watch-ing Say Yes to the Dress, I didn’t know what to ex-pect. Maybe some silly gar-bage about what it’s like to make wedding dresses and dealing with girls getting married. Instead, I realized that it was all about shallow divas not getting along with their moms.
I believe that weddings are about getting to be with the person you love for the rest of your life. Turns out I was wrong. These girls know that if they don’t get the perfect dress, their whole wedding will be ruined, de-spite the fact that the person they want to spend the rest of their life with is patiently waiting for them no matter what they wear. What a piti-ful sentiment to broadcast to women everywhere.
The more I watch the more crap I see. TLC, MTV, TruTV have been beaten to death years ago and networks like the His-tory Channel, Discovery, and the SyFy channel are in a quick spiral toward the ground. Why don’t we stop watching these terrible shows and reclaim the glory that our American Culture is entitled to?

Food safety experts share ways to prepare turkey for Thanksgiving.
Ameya KulkarniStaff Writer
The aftermath of Thanksgiv-ing vacation, observed among many University students, often includes issues such as diarrhea, dysentery and other gastrointestinal disorders. Well, this is more than just a coincidence. The cause of these health problems lies in the tra-ditional roasted and stuffed turkey consumed for Thanks-giving feast.
Ben Chapman, assistant pro-fessor of consumer sciences, and Hosni Hassan; professor of microbiology, biochemistry, toxicology and food science; have analyzed this recurrence of gastrointestinal disorders after Thanksgiving.
Chapman has worked in the area of food science for the last 10 years.
“Turkey i s s u s c e p -tible to get-ting exposed to bacteria l pathogens at the time of slaughtering,” Chapman said. “These bacteria are housed on the surface of the turkey and find a proper nutritive base for their growth. You cannot identify that the turkey is spoilt, just by looking at it.”
Experts advise that any tur-key, regardless of the time it is bought, needs to be kept in the refrigerator. If bought in advance, it shouldn’t to be de-frosted for two to three days.
After removing from the refrigerator at the time of cooking, the turkey should be
thawed for four to five hours in cold water. On average, the thawing time in hours should be about half the weight in pounds.
“As the turkey thaws, some juices ooze out of it, which may contain traces of Salmonella and Campylobacter,”Chapman said. “You should puncture the turkey and check whether the internal temperature is around 165-degrees Fahrenheit. Also, the thawing should not be done in open areas like the back porch or car trunk. This may lead to the contamination of the turkey with bacteria, mostly Salmonella and Cam-pylobacter.”
Though most of the bacterial growth occurs on the body of a cut and exposed turkey, some microbial development may even take place in the body of a living turkey if it is not reared in a proper poultry farm.
“The production farm ought to rear the turkeys, provid-ing the right diet and a clean,
proper en-vironment,” Hassan said. “If microbial development occurs, it is virulent and may infect the liver and intestine of the bird.”
Af ter the turkey has
thawed, it is ready to be cooked. The turkey needs to be washed before it is set for cooking. This is the most crucial moment for the spread of bacteria elsewhere in the kitchen or the surround-ings.
“Washing reduces the num-ber of bacteria on the surface and inside the turkey,” Hassan said. “Turkey should be very properly washed. However, care should be taken in order to restrict the water getting
sprayed to other areas of the kitchen. Even if the bacterial growth on the turkey is cleared, it can settle on some other me-dia such as cooking utensils or vegetables.”
Once the turkey is roasted, stuffed and becomes a part of the meal, people have the ten-dency to keep the leftovers out-side. However, this can lead to further damage of the cooked turkey and make it unfit for consumption.
“The meat should be cut off the bone and stored in zip-lock bags in the refrigerator,” Chapman said. “This can pre-vent the growth of pathogenic microbes on the leftover turkey and it can be consumed later.”
“There are always bacteria, both pathogenic and helpful, staying and dividing around us, continuously,” Hassan said. “Everyone has to be cautious throughout, wash hands often and restrict ourselves from get-ting infected from them.”

The history and debate over the gum wall provoke artistic thought and maintenance controversy.
Katie SandersStaff Writer
Passing by the Dan Al-len Drive gum wall, one is confronted with the issue of whether the display of pre-chewed globs is art or an eye sore.
“It’s certainly an expression. I don’t know what they’re try-ing to say, but it’s interesting,” Taylor Sams, a freshman in statistics, said.
The constantly morphing mass of pre-masticated mush resides on the walls of the tun-nel under the train tracks on Dan Allen Drive. It’s exception-al, to say the least. And N.C. State considers it one of the artistic landmarks on campus.
“It’s somewhat of an icon as far as campus is concerned,” Kyle Burns, a freshman in po-litical science, said. He said he wasn’t a huge fan of the gum, but he did think it added char-acter to the University.
“I bet UNC doesn’t have any-thing like it,” Jaclyn Smith, a freshman in polymer and color chemistry, said.
Nobody really knows how the gum wall came to be or why it was first allowed to ex-ist. There isn’t any recorded initiating event or reason for the tradition.
“This was something that just sort of evolved; people started doing it and others started contributing to it,” Jack Colby, assistant vice chancellor for Facilities Operations, said.
But now that it exists, Fa-cilities allows it to grow in the name of tradition, though it occasionally cleans it to keep it from getting out of hand.
Even so, it’s cleaned usually only when graffiti becomes a problem, according Bud Bran-nock, Paint Shop supervisor.
“It’s because of the graffiti, not because of the gum,” Bran-nock said.
Tradition trumps sour judg-ments, according to Colby.
“Periodically if it gets to be too much, [our grounds crew] will go and clean it off, and then everybody starts the pro-cess over again,” Colby said.
“There’s no policy or anything else associated with it, it’s just one of those unique things about N.C. State’s campus, like the Free Expression Tunnel.”
Even some longtime Facili-ties staff don’t remember a time before the gum wall existed and plenty of students can supply dates to prove that it’s been here at least 20 years.
“I remember talking to my dad about it,” Andrew Fine-gin, a sophomore in mechani-cal engineering, said. “And my dad went here - he graduated in ’84 - and he said it was still here when he was here, so it’s been here for a while.” Finegin found the wall gross, but rather humorous.
While it is a tradition, stu-dents debate the actual value of the wall. A few of them find it repulsive and unsanitary.
“Personally, I think it’s pretty unattractive, pretty disgust-ing—like a stain on our cam-pus,” Zachary Cade, a junior in environment technology and recourse management, said. He advocates getting rid of the wall.
“I think it’s absolutely dis-gusting,” Sams said in agree-
ment with Cade. “It can stay as long as it doesn’t get absolutely repulsive with stuff falling off on you.”
However, other students find it quirky and endearing.
“I think it is a valuable form of street art,” Garrett Zafudo, a freshman in English, said. “The first time I saw it I actu-ally thought there were a whole bunch of gems on the wall and then I saw it was gum, but still, it’s pretty cool.”
“I l ike the big baseball mounds of gum that are on there sometimes,” Andy Jos-lin, a sophomore in computer science, said.
Other gum walls include one in Seattle, the Pike Place Market Gum Wall and one in California named Gum Ally, but their histories are muddy too.
“It’s fairly unusual—I’ve never seen anything like it any-where else,” Colby said.

The risks of E. coli remain an important health issue.
Eric RizzoStaff Writer
E. coli is necessary for the human body to function. However, serious illness can occur when humans come in contact with a rouge form of this bacterium.
The question is though, what makes this rouge form of E. coli? According to Benjamin Chapman, assis-tant professor in consumer science, this strain is due to the difference in the genet-ic makeup of the bacteria. The different genes in bad E. coli cause the production of Shiga toxins, which cause a victim to become ill.
The Shiga toxins are re-sponsible for the symptoms. According to Chapman, the first symptom people get is bloody diarrhea.
“This occurs when E. coli is growing in the intestines,” Chapman said, “which shed to get rid of the toxin”.
Then the toxin is in-troduced t o t h e blood sys-tem, which travels to t he k id-ney, where blood clots can form, according to Chap-man. These blood clots can stop the kidney from functioning, or can end up in eyes and cause blindness.
Along with kidney failure, bloody diarrhea and blind-ness, if someone comes in contact with E. coli, they may exhibit fevers, kidney infections or urinary tract infections, according to Sophia Kathariou, associ-ate professor of food bio-processing and nutrition sciences.
“Like a lot of food-born pathogens,” Chapman said,
“[E. coli] spreads through the fecal-oral route”.
However, there are many dif-ferent ways for the “fecal-oral route” to occur. According to Kathariou, E. coli can come in contact through food, wa-ter, contact with animals, or touching surfaces.
“Some farmers try to treat [animal feces] and use it as fer-tilizer,” Hosni Hassan, profes-sor of microbiology, biochem-istry, toxicology and food sci-ence, said. “If it’s treated well, you can kill the bacteria, but if it’s not you will have E. coli. If it gets on a plant, it will get in the plant, so it’s not a matter of washing produce to get rid of E. coli.”
According to Hassan, it only takes 10 E. coli cells to produce symptoms.
“Even touching an animal, you may get 10, 15 or 100 cells of E. coli, then they can grow,” Hassan said. “They also have the ability to pass through the stomach without being killed.” According to Hassan, the growth of bacteria is expo-nential; so 10 cells of E. coli will grow rapidly on a surface.
With the recent State Fair outbreak, all of these sources had to be con-sidered. Ac-cording to Chapman, t here i s a process to f inding the source of the E. coli out-break.
Once a n outbreak of E. coli is recog-nized, the first step is doing an epidemiological study. This means that investigators from the State Health Department question everyone who is ill. Once they identify the com-monality between everyone experiencing symptoms, they interview people who also ex-perienced the commonality.
In the case of the State Fair, once investigators identified the fairground as the common-ality, they interviewed everyone who became ill as well as unaf-fected fairgoers. The interview
consisted of a questionnaire, containing over 20 pages.
From here, interviewers found the differences between where the sick people went and where the unaffected people went. In the case of the State Fair, this difference was the animal show.
After the general source of E. Coli is recognized, investi-gators then go and test for E. coli at the location, in this case the animal show. According to Kathariou, every form of E. coli has a fingerprint, which is used to confirm that the strain found on location has the same genetic makeup as the one that caused victims to become ill.
According to Hassan, the State Fair presents the problem of children touching animals, not washing their hands, then consuming food, effectively providing a direct, “fecal-oral route”.
Although only 27 people were affected by E. coli from the State Fair, according to Chapman, there were many more people that came in contact with the bacteria.
“We still don’t know why some people are infected while others are not”, Kathariou said.
With the previous State Fair E. coli outbreak, according to Hassan, the State Fair made some improvements, putting out disinfecting towels for the public to use. However, the risk will never be zero, according to Kathariou, at a place like the State Fair.

Students experience a night in the cold“A Night without a Home” gives students the chance to experience the struggle of the homeless.
Ashley SimonsStaff Writer
As the temperature outside drops, thermostat tempera-tures inside are being turned up. Imagine not having any heat at all though. Imagine not even having a roof over your head.
For many people, this is a re-ality. An estimated 3.5 million Americans experience home-lessness every year. Because, homelessness is so prevalent and apart of the norm, it is often overlooked and not ac-knowledged.
As National Homeless and Hunger Awareness Week is be-ing observed, the Baccalaureate Student Social Work Associa-tion is proactively participating in creating awareness both on N.C. State’s campus and in the community.
Students in BSSWA wanted not only to raise awareness, but also gain first hand expe-rience to help them work better within their field.
“As a social work major, it’s important to understand the homeless client population and their struggles to effectively serve them as a social worker,” Amir Hunter, senior in social work, said.
This year marks BSSWA’s f irst time participating in National Hunger and Home-lessness Awareness Week. In promoting awareness for this national endeavor to end hun-ger and homelessness, BSSWA hosted programs each night for students to attend.
Monday’s movie night was a
viewing of The Soloist, a story about a musically gifted home-less man, who is discovered by a journalist who tries to help him get his life back on track.
Tuesday’s event was an edu-cational forum with one of N.C. State’s own instructors from the department of so-cial work Susie Barnes as the speaker.
On Wednesday, a “Stone Soup Dinner” was hosted at White Memorial Presbyterian Church.
BSSWA’s biggest event was ‘A Night without a Home’. The event created a simulation of homelessness for students to spend the night sleeping in a cardboard box.
Around 7 p.m. students showed up layered in coats, hats, gloves, and scarves to set up their cardboard abode for the night.
“A Night without a Home,” is intended to give students a sense of the life and difficulties homeless people experience ev-eryday.
“Although a single night
outside can in no way simu-late homelessness, we hope to promote advocacy, protest, and edu-cation,” Tiffany Thomp-son, junior in socia l work and president of BSSWA, said.
During “A Night without a Home” students engaged in casual con-versation and heard personal stories from representatives
from local shelters. The speak-ers represented The Healing Place, a men’s homeless shelter
for recov-ering ad-dicts, and The Helen Wright Center, a women’s homeless shelter.
“It’s an eye open-er to real-ize there are people
out here in far worse situations and we are very fortunate,” Sha’michel Lilly, freshman in
social work, said. “Being out in the cold is definitely and expe-rience.”
Despite the freezing below 40-degree temperature, the “A Night without a Home” par-ticipants did their best to stay warm and tough it out.
“We wanted to raise aware-ness and make people under-stand all the resources we have at our fingertips and those who don’t”, Loren Bahouth, junior in social work, said.
BSSWA, along with thou-sands of other groups and orga-nizations, host events similar to ‘A Night without a Home’ each year. All across the country, ad-vocates participate in National
Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week to help get communities involved.
The National Coalition for the Homeless, co-sponsors of National Hunger and Home-lessness Awareness Week, has created a guide that is available online, of different ideas and activities for communities to plan to help raise awareness and support.
Although National Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week is only once a year, BSSWA will continue to serve and help raise awareness for the homeless and hungry population.

Sportsally be expected to storm the field. It’s a tradition in college football unlike any other - major upsets and monumental victories end with a massive gathering of students, players, coaches, media and anyone else who can find their way on to the field.
Put together any argu-ment or compromise you would like, but it is sim-ply illogical to allow State students to rush the field in the same fashion as Vir-ginia did earlier this year against Georgia Tech or the same as when the Ramblin’ Wreck handed Clemson its first loss of the year several weeks later.
The reason is exactly the same as to why Carter-Fin-ley’s stands are the clos-est to the field in the ACC conference. It’s the same for why Oklahoma State has a strict rushing the field pol-icy in place when the scene
reverses and the Pokes play home games at Boone Pickens Stadium.
The walls of both stadiums are high to enhance spectator viewing and to prevent fan in-terference. You may have confi-dence in your personal abilities to jump down sections seven and eight at Carter-Finley, but NCSU would probably rather not have thousands of 18-22 year olds piling on top of each other.
Even after the game ended and some Pack players jumped into the student section, they struggled to pull themselves up to be congratulated. If our football players have any issues whatsoever getting up, maybe we should choose the alma ma-ter over some type of law suit.
And hey, I wanted to storm the field Saturday night before the game even started, but I also think driving 85 mph on the Beltline is fully acceptable. Unfortunately, that’s illegal and the cops agree. Why can Iowa State, Baylor and Virginia rush the field? It’s not exactly an idea wrapped in protective cellophane, but the whole pro-
cess is safer and more practical. The vast majority of Iowa
State students stand in sections 28-32 at Jack Trice Stadium, and the clearing wall to get on to the field is approximately five to six feet tall. At Baylor, stu-dents sit directly behind the op-posing team’s bench, as well as the adjacent corner of the end zone. The barrier to get onto the field is a standard bleacher railing with several stairs lead-ing to the ground. At Virginia, students and fans simply run on to the field at Scott Stadium from a hill.
Although they are just two of the most recent examples in college football, the major-ity of FBS teams have student sections with legitimate access to the field. We don’t, and not getting to storm the field is a di-rect effect of the limited access.
The views on whether stu-dents can rush the field will always vary at any institution, particularly one where field ac-cess is complicated.
Either way, it’s one of the best issues State football will ever have.

UNC-Chapel Hill and Boston College, three games which he combined to pass for only one touchdown, Glennon passed for 253 yards and three touch-downs.
The longest completion was on an explosive play to redshirt junior Tobais Palmer for 43 yards. Palmer shook a defender and juked another en route to third quarter touchdown to put
the Pack up 37-6.While the victory is State’s
sixth of the year, Manning said he compares next week’s game at home against Maryland to a different type of playoff.
“I treat these games like high school playoffs,” Manning said. “It’s win or go home for us right now, so that’s the mentality we’re playing with.”
O’Brien echoed Manning’s thoughts toward the matchup with the Terrapins and said his players still have some making up to do in his mind.
“I told them tonight, I’m still mad at them for losing the last one [at Boston College],” O’Brien said. “I’m not going to forget that one. The only way for them to make that up is to beat Maryland.”
In the final moments before the two teams met on the field to shake hands, a few players dumped a cooler full of Gato-rade on O’Brien. He said he felt the shower was a bit premature.
“They better save that until a bowl game,” O’Brien said. “Un-til we’re done. Until we win.”
Vanderbilt defeats N.C. State 86-79.
Staff Report
N.C. State (3-1, 0-0 ACC) were handed their first loss of the season when they lost to No. 20 Vanderbilt (3-1, 0-0 SEC) 86-79 in the first round of the TicketCity Legends Clas-sic in the Izod Center in New Jersey.
The game also marked the return of sophomore forward C.J. Leslie to the team, who had missed the first three games of the season. Leslie played like he had never been away as one of the star performers for the Wolfpack, scoring 20 points and shot 7-of-9 as State gave a stern test to the team that had a pre-season ranking of as high as No. 7.
Junior forward Richard Howell also had a big game as he scored 16 points and had a team leading nine rebounds,
along with sophomore guard Lorenzo Brown, who had 13 points for the night, put up a stiff resilience against the Commodores. However, it proved to be too little for the Pack as Coach Mark Gottfried got his first taste of defeat since taking over.
State started the game with-out junior forward and three-point specialist Scott Wood, who was out with a sprained ankle, which handed fresh-man forward Tyler Harris his first start in his young career in the Wolfpack colors, as he had seven points and six rebounds.
Vanderbilt guard John Jen-kins put on his best perfor-mance of the night as he scored 28 points, 20 of which came in the first half and was respon-sible for four of the nine scores made from downtown by the Commodores.
State twice took the lead when redshirt senior guard Alex Johnson shot for three
with the Wolfpack down 64-63 in the second half, and again when junior center DeShawn Painter scored in the paint with the Pack trailing 76-75 with 2:43 to go. However, he failed to capitalize on both opportu-nities as Leslie was forced to sit out for the last six minutes due to leg cramps.
From that point on it was all Vanderbilt as Jenkin’s fourth three-pointer of the game gave them an unassailable 81-77 lead. Vanderbilt ended shoot-ing 52 percent, compared to the 50 by the Pack with the three-point shooting proving to be the major difference between the two sides as State shot 4-of-9 while the Commodores made 9-of-25.
State next takes on Texas Monday at 6:30 p.m. in their final game in the Legends Clas-sic at the Izod Center in New Jersey.

match proved to be a battle between the two squads with 17 ties and nine lead changes in the fourth set.
“At the UVA game I think we came out very connect-ed,” Salata said. “We were ready to play in both match-es, obviously in the Virginia Tech match we were strug-gling but we pulled out the
first two sets.“We were playing better and a
lot more connected as a team in the Virginia match and at Vir-ginia Tech we were playing as a bunch of individuals.”
Freshman Dariyan Hopper led the Pack in kills with 19.
Bunn believed that his team wasn’t completely focused in its second match.
“We just weren’t locked in against Virginia Tech,” Bunn said. “We started of ok, they weren’t playing well and we didn’t take advantage of that.”
According to Wood, she be-lieves that State did not play to its expectations.
“I don’t think Virginia Tech is better than UVA, but also we played more cohesive as a team against UVA versus that Vir-ginia Tech game,” Wood said. “We talked about playing more as individuals. That was one of the main differences.”

Pack defense sets tone for defense as it keeps bowl hopes alive.
R. Cory SmithDeputy Sports Editor
When fans left Carter-Finley Stadium Saturday afternoon, they were given a treat that not many ex-pected. Even Coach Tom O’Brien said he was shocked at the outcome.
“I really have no expla-nation for what just hap-pened,” O’Brien said with a smirk when he first ad-dressed media members in the Murphy Center.
After scoring just 23 points in a span of three games, the Wolfpack used a 27-point second quarter to defeat the No. 7 Clem-son Tigers.
N.C. State (6-5 overall, 3-4 ACC) used an array of defensive and offensive stars to tame the Tigers (9-2, 6-2) as it was able to pull out a 37-13 win to keep its bowl hopes alive.
The win was not only the first victory against a top-10 team for O’Brien, but also the first win against Clemson—a losing streak that stretched back to 2003.
O’Brien said he was im-pressed with the way the defense played throughout the game, but, more impor-tantly, how it set up the of-fense in the second quarter.
“I think they did a great job,” O’Brien said. “Our de-
fense was able to create good field position for our offense to start with, and it’s a lot easier when [the offense] gets some touchdowns out of it too.”
Though the Pack offense put up 27 points in the second quarter, the defense, led by ju-nior linebacker Terrell Man-ning and redshirt freshman defensive end Art Norman, put State in Clemson territory on three of the five scoring drives.
Norman finished with 2.5
sacks for a total of 11 yards lost and a forced fumble, the first of his career. The forced fumble on a sack gave State the ball at the Clemson six-yard line.
Norman said the forced fumble was somewhat of a milestone for him in his career.
“That was my first sack fum-ble on the season,” Norman said with a huge smile. “It was a big deal for me. I was just re-ally excited.”
If any player trumped Nor-
man on the defense, it was Manning. The linebacker fin-ished the game with 3.5 tack-les for loss, a forced fumble and recovered the fumble that Norman forced in Clemson territory.
O’Brien said that Manning’s performance was thanks, in large part, to the way the de-fensive line played.
“Once we got our guys up front back, [Manning] and [Audie] Cole can make plays,”
O’Brien said. “[Manning]’s the most experienced guy we have at that position. He’s playing at a very high level, but I still think it comes back to the guys up front that are allowing him to make those plays.”
The story offensively for the Pack was the resurgent play of redshirt junior Mike Glen-non. After lackluster perfor-mances against Florida State,

Wolfpack defeats Virginia, falls to Virginia Tech.
Jeniece JamisonSenior Staff Writer
Volleyball split its week-end in the state of Virginia by defeating Virginia 3-1 and dropping its match to Virginia Tech, 2-3. The Pack improved its record to 20-12. It is the first time State has had a 20-win sea-son since 1996.
In its first match against the Cavaliers, the Pack won its first, third and final sets of the match 25-18, 25-15 and 25-23. State dropped
its second set 20-25.Senior Margaret Salata led
the team in kills with 16. Se-nior Luciana Shafer followed Salata’s total with 12. Junior Megan Cyr led the Pack in as-sists with 47 for the match.
According to Head Coach Bryan Bunn, Salata has come a long way in her development all year.
“She’s just been fantastic this year,” Bunn said. “We’ve always been able to count on her to get a kill when we needed it. She’s come a long way since that night she got kicked out the gym. She’s worked hard to become a very different player.”
Senior Kelly Wood led the team on the defensive end with 23 digs and freshman Alston Kearns finished with 16.
According Bunn, the Pack competed very well in its match.
“We fought hard the first game against UVA,” Bunn said. “We came out and we were re-ally ready to go. We competed in the three sets, they jumped out on us, and then we re-bounded. They played well again but we fought through the fourth. Everybody played pretty solid.”
Its second match with the Hokies was a comeback win for Virginia Tech. The Pack won its first two sets 25-22 and 26-24. From that point on State could not take a match and dropped its final three sets of the match 21-25, 24-26, and 11-15. The

Quote of the day
“I really have no explanation
for what just happened.”Coach Tom O’Brien
Four top-10 teams were upset during this past weekend of col-
lege football and it would be immensely difficult to write four different con-
clusions to unforeseen scripts.
Stu-dents from Iowa State a nd Bay-lor c a me pouring onto their respec-tive f ields following
massive weekend upsets of top-10 opponents, and fans of No. 4 Oregon sat stunned following a missed field goal attempt to tie Southern Cal
as time expired. In a slightly bizarre scene,
N.C. State’s clutch 37-13 rout of No. 7 Clemson finished with threats of zip-tie hand cuffs, pepper spray and the tradition-al playing of the alma mater.
Although treating the student section like animals in captiv-ity is probably an exorbitant measure, as long as State plays at Carter-Finley, Wolfpack stu-dents can not and should not have the opportunity to rush the field.
Don’t get me wrong - it’s ex-tremely frustrating to count 53 safety officers surrounding the field barely midway through the fourth quarter, especially when under normal circum-stances students would virtu-
