Neither rain nor sleet can keep these sports fans from getting tickets to the upcoming UNC game.
Jessie HalpernDeputy News Editor
On Friday night, hundreds of stu-dents pitched tents, grabbed their umbrellas, put on their rain boots, and headed to Reynolds where they stayed up all night waiting to receive a guaranteed ticket for the upcoming State-UNC basket-ball game.
Though it was 48 degrees and rain-ing, students showed their Pack pride in various ways, some by dressing up.
At the Campout event there were five checkpoints, of which students had to complete four. Throughout the evening, students could be heard chanting “check point” to stay awake and get excited.
“I checked in at 7:45 and then went inside where it was warm,” Keeshan Ganatra, a senior in communications said, “It is my first year camping out. I haven’t decided if I’m going to stay up or not. I usually sleep well in the rain.”
Students were able to bring their own camping equipment, but the University also offered rentals. Many
students, however, chose to spend the night outside of their tents, talking in the rain with other fans.
Ganatra, who had not realized how much time had passed when he was interviewed at 12:30, was leaving to get food at one of the vendors that stayed open until 2 a.m. for the event.
Making an appearance at the Campout site were Coach Mark Gottfried and various players, including Jay Lewish and Alex
Johnson.While waiting
for tickets, stu-dent fans enjoyed a 3-on-3 basket-ball tournament and board games provided by the Union Activities Board.
Hunter Lohr, freshman in en-gineering, said
he enjoyed his first Campout ex-perience.
“All the tents are really cool. It’s definitely worth being here, even in the bad weather,” Lohr said.
Lohr said that among the night’s events, check-in was the worst part.
“Standing in the rain for check-in was annoying, but now that ev-eryone is here it’s just cool,” Lohr said.
Students discuss their opinions on the current republican primaries.
Lindsey RosenbaumCorrespondent
A larger-than-usual surplus of young voters participated in the 2008 election, many of which helped elect president Obama.
Some graduate and undergraduate students believe that student turn-out will be lower in the upcoming election, including the Republican primary.
Francesca Verceles-Zara, sophomore in biology, said she has been paying attention to the primaries.
“I read the Onion online and Com-edy Central has funny stuff about it,” Verceles-Zara said.
Comedy programs such as the Daily Show and Colbert Report have stirred conversation among young voters, creating what students like Verceles-Zara can use as entertainment with information.
It seems that Verceles-Zara may be the minority in showing interest in the primaries.
Amie Bero, sophomore in civil en-gineering, admits that she only keeps up with politics by listening to the opinions of other students.
Tory Weaver, graduate student and teaching assistant in public and inter-national affairs said that she expects a low voter turnout in the upcoming election, especially among young vot-ers.
“I am realistic in my belief that No-vember 2012 will show a lower turn-out for younger voters than in 2008,” Weaver said.
Weaver said that, although younger voters were important to the last elec-tion, the 2012 election has not reso-nated as well with younger voters.
Though this may be true, younger voters still are highly opinionated in the Republican Party.
“They’re very polarized,” Maggie Hull, graduate student in physiology said, “You have Ron Paul who is very libertarian, and you have Mitt Rom-ney and other people like that who want a larger federal government, So you have two polar opposites in the same party, which is kind of strange.”
The popularity of Ron Paul has in-creased in the primary, putting him as the runner up for many polls and bringing comedians such as John Stewart to point out the media’s lack of coverage towards his campaign.
“[Ron Paul’s] advisors are doing him a disservice by allowing him to appear disheveled and frumpy,” Weaver said.
“Anyone has the right to run for president if you’re a citizen,” said Hull. “If they do want to run, and they do want to genuinely want to do some-thing with that office, and I agree with their views, than I’ll vote for them.”
Stephen Colbert, Comedy Central’s satirical news host, has shown interest in the past at joining the race for presi-dency, yet this is the first year he has actively attempted to get nominated.
Within the past two weeks, he has transferred over control of his Super PAC to colleague Jon Stewart of The Daily Show, and has gone down to his home state of South Carolina to begin campaigning.
Weaver contends that these sensa-tionalized tactics could be strengthen-ing the GOP status. “My students tend to know such sensational candidates while they often have a harder time naming the more ‘political’ candi-dates.”
And while she asserts the involve-ment of celebrities in the primaries could be upping the ‘cool’ factor of the GOP, not everyone agrees.
“Right now I feel like the Republi-cans are sort of like a joke,” Verceles-Zara said.
Hull said that she believes Repub-licans have been taken less seriously as well.
“I’ve found that many of the can-didates don’t seem to be committed to representing the people, but more furthering their own personal agenda, which seems to, in my opinion, cheap-en our political system.”
While many students express their opinions on the election, time will tell whether they turn out or not.
“I need to register first!” Bero said.Verceles-Zara says she will, adding
that she will probably become more politically involved closer to the elec-tions. As of now, Verceles-Zera is un-sure of who she will be voting for and said that she is keeping her mind open for change.

Members of Occupy Raleigh protested during their 100th day anniversary this past weekend.
Shawn ThompsonCorrespondent
Protesters gathered from Friday to Sunday in support of the Occupy Ra-leigh movement. They participated in a peaceful protest on Morgan Street.
The marches lasted throughout the weekend and were in support of social issues, as well as their con-tinuous efforts to bring change and awareness against government cor-ruption.
T he protes t s marked the 100th day of marches for the Occupy Raleigh movement. Sup-porters have been occupying down-town Raleigh every day since October 15th, 2011.
“[The government] is out of control. People are so busy these days with
their personal lives that we’ve become a pretty narcissistic society,” Michael Davitt, an ongoing supporter of the Occupy movement, said.
Davitt is a member of REAP 2 SEW, an organization that has worked alongside Occupy Raleigh to recruit members and promote activism with-in the community.
Events began Friday, when the main protest was occupying the federal court building from 10:30 to 5:00. Along with Raleigh natives, people from Durham and Chapel Hill gath-
ered to occupy the courts.
Prior to the occu-pation of the courts, a session was held on the moderniza-tion of North Caro-lina Banking Laws.
On Saturday, a march started across from the State Capitol building, where a group of supporters passionately marched down the sidewalks boldly

With him was Scott Paie-ment, sophomore in math-ematics.
“Camping out for basketball tickets is awesome,” Paiement said. “This is what college life is like. We’re living the dream.”
Though standing in the rain is some students’ example of “living the dream,” others pre-fer to watch the game on TV,
which they can do on February 1 at 8 p.m. For those students who did stay up all night for tickets, the game will be in the RBC Center.
State will play at UNC Jan. 26 before playing the Heels on Tuesday in late February.

waving signs and American flags.
Ryan Thomson, graduate student in sociology and one of the leaders of Occupy NCSU, took part in protest. Thomson said that although the weather was inclement, the events still brought a good number of people.
“We had teach-ins, and we had drumming circles,” Thom-son said, “We actually got down in the rain pretty hard.”
Among ot her con-c e r n s , t he events dem-onstrated against the Citizens United case f rom 2010, which con-cluded cor-porations are al lowed to have the same spend-ing rights for political causes as individuals.
“We had a fake burial of Cit-izens United. We had a fake coffin, brought it over to state legislature, and everything,” Thomson said.
Some police cars circled around the location, and al-though some protesters were arrested on Sunday, law en-forcement did not interfere with the majority of events.
Protestors were arrested for walking in the street and ignor-ing police instructions to not walk in the street.
Jim Sughrue, director of pub-lic of affairs for the Raleigh Po-
lice, said in a statement, “The suspects, who were on foot, declined numerous requests made by Raleigh Police De-partment officers to leave the vehicular travel lanes of Fay-etteville Street.”
The march continued to Sun-day with a meet for a march on the State Capitol steps, accom-panied by a session on the hun-dred reasons why citizens need to occupy. All of these events served as a celebration but also as a reminder of the reasons they have been protesting.
Supporters like Davitt are dedicated to staying active in the Occupy Raleigh efforts, in
hopes that their dedication to stand against social injustic-es will inspire and motivated other citizens to get involved as well.
“This is more than about the elections,” Dav it t sa id, “These people care enough to speak out. We
need a lot more people than us, but things will change. Over months and years, things will change. It’s going to take a long time.”
Michael Davitt has been in-volved since the first protests in Raleigh in 2011. He hopes his efforts will gain new support-ers who want to see a change in their country.
“We get people in the process again. Take the power back, where it belongs to begin with. The country shouldn’t be con-trolled by corporations. That’s not what the founders had in mind,” Davitt said.

Women’s Health Magazine recognized Raleigh as a role model for health, but not diet and exercise.
Nikki Stoudt,Staff Writer
In a country practically choked by fast food restau-rants, big screen TVs and comfy couches, not many towns can boast being “healthy.” Howev-er, a recent panel of researchers from Women’s Health Maga-zine has named Raleigh the healthiest U.S. city for women.
Determination of rank was based on more than 30 differ-ent health categories, includ-ing the average amount of time spent exercising, frequency of medical checkups, and life ex-pectancy rates.
Lilly Catis of Ladies Fitness and Wellness, the only full-ser-vice women’s health center in Raleigh, believes that the high ranking was rightly deserved.
“There’s a certain sense of urgency nowadays that makes women feel a great responsi-bility for their own bodies,” Catis said. “Raleigh is a place that fosters a sense of commu-nity, which makes it easier to seek help if someone should need it.”
A significant number of Ca-tis’ clients are middle-aged and often come to her looking for ways to rebuild their bodies.
“Most come to us with con-cerns about lowering the risk of serious diseases such as dia-betes, osteoporosis and various types of cancer,” Catis said.
Women’s Health Magazine is not the only one to take notice of Raleigh’s success in research and disease prevention. Both the American Cancer Society and the Centers for Disease Control applaud the female population of Raleigh for the steps taken to catch diseases early and prevent them alto-gether.
Aliesha Hendrix, the Amer-ican Cancer Society’s Com-munity Manager, said Raleigh health professionals work to screen cancer early and often in women.
“Almost 90 percent have faultless screening scheduling,” Hendrix said. “Life expectancy is very high, and women are clearly preemptive in taking defensive measures.”
Raleigh scored high in all categories pertaining to inner health, but the study found that Raleigh’s female population is still behind in the areas of diet and exercise.
According to Danielle Soud-er, a sophomore in industrial design, Raleigh is taking steps towards a more active future. Souder rides her bike nearly everywhere she goes and finds that most stores, restaurants and other establishments are very accommodating.
“There are so many benefits that come from riding your bike,” Souder said. “In addi-tion to getting to class quickly and being environmentally conscious, I am now fitting in a daily exercise routine, which is something I never thought I would have time for.”
Lilly Catis said changes are
being made in the Triangle and can be seen on every corner.
“It’s so exciting to see the de-velopments in the community,” Catis said. “Everything from a pedestrian friendly downtown area to more walking trails. However, the members of the fitness community don’t feel that it’s enough.”
N.C. State has gotten the ball rolling by adding new health proposals that include promot-ing both physical activity and eating right.
“Last year as a freshman,” Souder said, “I got really frus-trated that whole grains and fresh fruit weren’t popular or even really an option in the dining halls.”
This year, she feels a little differently. Souder has no-ticed that all dining facilities on campus have made their menus more health conscious. She added that new and excit-ing programs at Carmichael Recreation Center have drawn she and her friends into a new realm of exercise.
“We really take advantage of the facility now, and it’s really important for women to have opportunities like we do in the Rec Center,” Souder said.
“I’m extremely proud we’ve been recognized for our efforts in becoming healthy,” Lilly Ca-tis said. “I hope that we become a role model for the rest of the south, but Raleigh has a very long way to go before we are truly ‘healthy.’”
Raleigh ranks as healthiest city for women

Within nine minutes of Paterno’s alleged death, it was publi-
cized all over Twitter and other media outlets, including CBS Sports. They announced the death of ex-Penn State coach late Saturday evening, when he actually died 9 a.m. Sunday. The premature announcement was based on an unverified stu-dent website report. This inci-dent exposes the flaws of social media and should be used as a learning experience for all so-cial media users.
Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and other outlets provide a wide variety of services to its users: networking, event plan-ning, social and professional interests, and news updates. However, the issue with this
new technology is anyone can create and publish infor-mation. Because of this CBS Sports—one of the most cred-ible sources in sporting news—jumped the gun on Paterno’s death, and later had to issue an apology to the Paterno family.
This accessibility to news with a single click is the reason this type of technology is so popular; however, users should be wary of what they accept as news on these sites.
The Paterno incident dem-onstrates this by the amount of comments and feedback Twitter users provided on his death. Penn State students even
flocked to the Paterno statue to honor his memory Saturday night, not knowing he was still alive.
The use of this technol-ogy can connect users across the world and can inform the masses about information happening within a minute of it occurring. However, credit-ability is everything.
While Twitter can be a good way to keep informed, users should always fact check the news they’re being told. By doing this, it can assure them of accurate news. CBS Sports’ credibility is still recovering from the Paterno incident with
statements saying it has “fallen short” of its journalistic stan-dards.
This new technology is a great source of information, and has the potential to greatly impact our society by being able to quickly inform a large number of people. But, would we want to sacrifice the accuracy of our news? No.
The issue boils down to users being good consumers of in-formation, and not accepting everything at face value.
If we could ensure that pieces of information, like this one; could be questioned and then verified, the issue of inaccurate information wouldn’t even be an issue. Be cautious of what you accept as fact, it very well could be a miscommunication.

Social media users should question their newsThe FacTs:Twitter users and CBS Sports viewers were mistakenly informed of Joe Paterno’s death late Saturday evening, while he was still alive.
Our OpiniOn:The technologies of social media are a good means of information; however, users should question the validity of claims as news.
Learning to love where you liveI have a confession to
make. I haven’t always been head over heels in
love with Raleigh.I know what you are
thinking: How could I not l i k e R a-leigh and still go to school at N.C. State?
To me, NC SU i s like its own city within Raleigh. I never re-ally looked
at the University as Raleigh. I now appreciate many of the things I disliked when I first started living here in the summer of 2010, but I will admit, it has taken a year to truly define Raleigh as my home.
I grew up in eastern North Carolina, in a relatively small town called Wilson, so coming to live in Raleigh was a slight culture shock. I had been to visit many times before for different events, but living in Raleigh and visiting Raleigh are two different things. Wilson didn’t have very many at-tractions or things to do, but it is a place I learned to love because of the people who were a part of my daily life.
My first year here, I found people to be always in a rush. They never took the time to get to know you as a person. In Wilson, I couldn’t go to the grocery store without running into
someone I knew. In Raleigh I could shop around Crabtree and never see a familiar face.
One day I started thinking about why I disliked Raleigh so much. I made a mental list of all the things that turned me off from Raleigh’s underlying beauty. I knew I would get used to these turn-offs eventu-ally, like rush-hour traffic and things being so geographically spread out. However, no mat-ter how hard I tried, I couldn’t figure out what it was about Raleigh that bothered me so much. I don’t think I would have ever figured it out had I not worked in Raleigh over the summer.
I got a job doing research for the Department of Food, Bio-processing and Nutrition Sci-ences, and it helped to display my current love for Raleigh.
My time here over the sum-mer gave me a chance to get out and explore a l l Raleigh had to offer. I spent the majority of my time on N.C. State’s campus, but there were a couple of days I de-cided to go out and drive around town.
It opened up a new side of Raleigh I had never seen be-fore, but I still wasn’t totally convinced it was home for me. No matter how hard I tried to say Raleigh was my home, my heart was still in Wilson.
Somewhere through the
summer my perspective totally changed. I started to realize even though it felt like I was the only person amid the hustle-and-bustle Raleigh life, there truly were others who were living and working in Raleigh—and they liked it.
The more I thought about it, the more I started to re-alize the people around me were more important than any landmark or big fancy mall. It seems obvious, right?
All the people I had a chance to work with over the summer live in Raleigh, or at least close enough to get to work every day. I don’t know why I didn’t realize it before, but that is what makes Raleigh feel like my home. As I said before, part of the reason I love Wilson is not for the lack of attrac-
tions; it is because I was a part of a car-ing com-munity who, for the most part, loved Wilson as well.
I have learned loving Raleigh is not about embracing gro-cery stores large enough to get lost in, and it is not about loving the people who can’t drive in traffic circles. Learning to love where you live takes learning to love those who live around you.

What are the problems with social media, if you believe that
there are any?
{ }in yOur wOrds
“Overall, social media is good for communication but has a tendency to start rumors. One example is last night Joe Paterno was claimed dead over Twitter before he actually had passed. I believe major news companies do a good job at conveying the truth.”
Chrissy Bacaksophmore, biology
“I believe a lot of social media is based on sex, and promotes discrimination and violence regularly. You cannot even watch a YouTube video without seeing hate comments, and tons of arguments. Big news companies like to be very biased on their stories, rarely reporting the whole truth.”
James Agefreshman, visual arts
Brandon Bovia, freshman in art and design
“People are really gullible. They will believe almost anything the social media says, and it’s not always a good thing. News companies really favor violent, criminal-like news rather than reporting all the good events that are happening in the world.”

14 weeks left:52 things to do
Facing graduation, I’ve started to look around campus. I’ve begun
to look at all the things I’ve wanted to do while at State
but haven’t . I’m not talk-i n g a b o u t anything deep or e x i s ten-tial here. I’m talking about t h i ng s l i ke painting the Free Expres-sion Tunnel or taking a bee-keeping class.
Student Government has put together a list of 52 things to do before graduating. The list isn’t perfect, there are some activi-ties I have no interest in, like the Polar Plunge. But from time to time I’ll go through and try to knock off what is listed. This week, I crossed camping out for basketball tickets off my list.
I hate to a d m i t i t , but I’ve only been to one N.C. State basketball game while in col lege. I think my poor atten-da nce has something to do with the lack of tailgating. Whatever the case may be, when some friends told me about Campout, I jumped at the opportunity. I wasn’t re-ally doing it for a ticket—come to think of it, I don’t even know if I got a ticket. I did it because I knew it was my last chance to experience a tradition of State.
If you’ve never been to one, Campout is a straightforward event. If you camp out for the entire night around Reynolds Coliseum, you’ll get a ticket to the UNC game. In the morning your sleep deprivation is sup-posed to be mitigated by the pride you feel for taking part; however, my morning was a bit different. In the morning I realized how far removed I am from my freshman year.
To make a gross and unsub-stantiated generalization here, most of the people at Campout were underclassmen. I don’t mean to be condescending; it’s truly a blessing the event attracts underclassmen. I could not imagine the event if its base were seniors. If my friends and I were a decent sample, the tone of the event would be entirely different.
My friends and I spent the start of the night cursing the cold, the rain and each other, but when we began to look around and were astonished at what we saw. People were run-ning around tossing a football or Frisbee, taking group pic-tures, and starting WOLF—PACK chants at four in the morning. Everyone there had a smile on their face.
I felt a little like the Grinch looking down on Whoville during Christmas, with a ma-jor difference: I loved what I saw. I fondly remember what it was like to be on that fresh-man-year level, that mindset in which getting up at five for ticket distributions was a ne-cessity, when the game was
bigger than the tailgate, when N.C. State Athlet-ics was the glue holding your group together.
A s t h e n ig ht car-r ied on, I
began to embrace the whole atmosphere. For once this year I didn’t feel like a degenerate for wearing sweats out of the house. I didn’t feel gluttonous for eating eight slices of pizza —thanks, Valentine Com-mons. Minus the sirens blaring to wake everyone up every two hours, I have few complaints. It was a great to revisit fresh-man year.
There’s a certain magic to those first years that we lose as time goes on. We move off-campus, our friends move off too and we find ourselves only going to campus for class. We stop participating in ridiculous events like Campout. However, these events are part of what college is all about. They’re events that bind us together in a way not found on Fayette-ville Street or in class. Events like these bring us together as a community.
If you’re also feeling a dis-tance from where you were freshman to where you are now, try crossing something off Student Government’s 52 things to do list. It’s a great list of all the fun college has to of-fer that we often lose sight of.

Dean elected president of international organizationThe IPBS elected N.C. State dean as the new organization head; hoping he can continue progress.
Josephine Yurcaba Life & Style Editor
Ira R. Weiss, dean of N.C. State’s Poole College of Man-agement, was elected president of the International Partner-ship of Business Schools dur-ing a meeting held in Madrid, Spain this fall.
“The IPBS is dedicated to the development of a lifelong cross-cultural international community of business and management ... by sharing and increasing [the community’s] professional knowledge, skills and understanding through international exchange pro-grams,” Weiss said.
“The IPBS engages students in an international experience through full cultural immer-sion and business immersion,” Weiss said. “The program pro-motes globalization through a business curriculum and offers duel degrees at the student’s home institution and at the partner institution.”
Weiss said he became in-volved in the IPBS when he
was the dean of Northeastern University’s College of Business Administration.
“Northeastern was the first U.S. institution to be a part of the IPBS, and I wanted NCSU to engage as well,” Weiss said.
The IPBS allows students to spend a minimum of one and a half years abroad. Students can go abroad and take busi-ness courses in the language of the partner institute or their home language, and then they can spend a semester doing an internship in that country.
According to Weiss, traveling to Spain for this meeting was nothing new.
“The meetings are always ro-tating around to the different schools that are a part of the IPBS,” Weiss said. Though on this occasion, Weiss was elected president of the entire interna-tional program.
Every two years the board of directors elects a president of the organization, and Weiss is the longest standing dean on the board, with 10 years as the dean at Northeastern Univer-sity and 7 years at N.C. State.
“I have a good understand-ing of the evolution of this con-sortium, and I am extremely supportive [of its endeavors],” Weiss said.
Now Weiss will be respon-sible for setting the organiza-tion’s agenda when it meets three times per year, enhanc-ing the offer of an interna-tional experience by bringing in more partner universities, and strengthening the core of the organization’s curriculum.
Weiss said this will have a significant impact on State students in a few ways.
“We will have 50 or more international students with us at NCSU [from the IPBS pro-gram],” Weiss said. “Even if our students do not go abroad, they will be sitting next to students from all over the world.”
This diversity in the class-room will “allow students to develop a global perspective,”
according to Weiss.Weiss, originally from New
York, is now making a global impact at N.C. State. “[I came to State] because the opportu-nity arose here to take a young college focused on innovation and technology, and bring it into full maturity,” Weiss said. “The opportunity [at N.C. State] felt comfortable and challenging, and it has been.”
Opportunities will only con-tinue to grow for business stu-dents seeking a globalized edu-cation. But if two years abroad seems frightening, students can still be engaged by interacting with international visitors at N.C. State.
The mystique of a cigar attracts studentsSome take their tobacco differently, not always for the nicotine, but for a dose of sophistication.
Crystal M. StromanSenior Staff Writer
Cigars have been associated historically with the rich and powerful. But since the discov-ery of tobacco, cigar smoking has become more widespread. Cigars have become a staple item for many different people, including college students.
Cigar enthusiasts have cre-ated a culture around the smoking and collecting of ci-gars. In the past, cigar smok-ing was seen as a hobby for the head honchos of a society. Now, people from many dif-ferent backgrounds and social classes smoke them.
Mike Abbot, an employee of Tinderbox Cigar, said the so-
cial significance of cigars has changed over time.
“It’s changed since cigars were first available,” Abbot said. “It used to be a status thing, the larger cigar, the more status you had and the more money you had available to spend. Now, it’s a lot more of a social thing for people to be around other people smoking cigars and to enjoy the cama-raderie of smoking together.”
For Kyle Jones, a junior in food science, the aura of the cigar draws him to smoke on occasion.
“Sometimes they’re good, but usually I smoke them for the prestige,” Jones said. “It has an aura of supremacy associated with it. I feel like the most in-teresting man in the world when I smoke one. But, I don’t smoke often, only every other month or so, when the occasion calls for it.”
Dave Mellin, owner of Am-ra’s Lounge and Cigar Bar in
downtown Raleigh, said he sometimes has students come in and smoke cigars for fun.
“I see students come in here and there, and I see a lot of post graduates come in to smoke,” Mellin said.
There are many different fla-vors and variations of cigars. The two main types are hand-made and machine-rolled. The higher quality cigars are usu-ally wrapped by hand, accord-ing to Abbot. Cigars undergo a process of aging and fermen-tation, which affects the flavor and texture of the cigars.
The origin of the cigar also affects its flavor and compo-sition. Cigars are abundantly made in countries like Nicara-gua, Honduras, Cuba, the Do-minican Republic and Brazil. The location and type of pro-duction affects the quality and taste of the cigar. However, the definition a good cigar is de-pendent on the preference of the person smoking it.

Interfaith Food Shuttle inspires a cycle of giving back.
Brooke WalligStaff Writer
What started off as a nor-mal day for two moms quickly turned into something that changed their lives and careers.
After dropping off their children at soccer practice, Jill Bullard and Maxine Solomon stopped by a fast food restau-rant to order a quick lunch.
As the two women waited for their food, they saw one of the workers throwing out many breakfast biscuits –the same being sold just a few hours earlier. Thinking the perfectly wrapped biscuits appeared to have nothing wrong with them, they asked the manager why so much food was being thrown out.
His answer?“Breakfast is over.”This happens every day.
When one cycle of food – breakfast, lunch or dinner – is over, much of the leftover food is thrown away, regardless of quality, to make room for the next cycle’s food.
The two women convinced the manager to give them the leftover food rather than throwing it away. Piling the biscuits into the back of their station wagon, Bullard and Solomon delivered the food the Shepherd’s Table Soup Kitchen.
Twenty-two years later, they’re sti l l doing it.
Emily Zart-man, volun-teer coordi-nator for the Interfaith Food Shuttle – the com-pany Bullard and Solomon founded after that incident, said the shuttle has grown ex-ponentially since its inception.
“The first year they started the shuttle, they moved about 600 pounds of food just in Jill [Bullard]’s station wagon. Since, we have grown tremen-dously. When I started as a volunteer, we had maybe 30 or 40 volunteers, and there were three of us on the staff,” Zart-man said. “In 2010, we had 2,617 volunteers who put in 43,383 hours of work, saving us $904,535.55.”
According to Zartman, the Food Shuttle now operates many different programs, and
the Food Rescue program re-mains one of their largest.
“We have the Food Rescue program, where we use vol-unteers as drivers and drivers’ assistants. They go from here to restaurants, caterers, big box stores and supermarkets,” Zartman said. “They pick up the food that is going to be dis-carded – and it can be perfectly good food, maybe it’s about to out-date or just did, or maybe they bought too much of it and they can’t sell it – then they deliver that food to recipient agencies.”
Zartman said the Shuttle makes a point to donate to or-ganizations rather than indi-viduals, in an effort to be sure as many people can benefit from the programs as possible.
“We do not, per se, give to in-dividuals,” Zartman said. “We give to over 200 agencies who serve hungry people. In most cases, more than half of what they pick up does not come back here [to the Food Shuttle]. It goes directly to the agencies so that the food is as fresh as they could possibly get it.”
Zartman also said a great deal of the food donated to agencies comes from a program called “field gleaning.”
“After the farmer has har-vested his crop, there’s always a good amount of product that is still there that they can’t use,” Zartman said. “It’s either too small or too large or slightly marred, and volunteers pick it
up and ‘glean’ it – clean it up a bit – and it also goes out to agencies.”
According to Zartman, it’s also possi-ble for volun-teers to help without leav-ing their own backyards. Through a prog ra m called “Plant a Row for the Hungry,” vol-
unteers plant an extra row of food in their gardens to donate to the Food Shuttle.
However, the Food Shuttle does not only rely on donations from others. It grows its own food on their suburban farm, a program that relies heavily on volunteers.
“We have six acres of land right here in the city. We plant extensive gardens there so we can offer our recipient agen-cies fresh, local products. Vol-unteers do virtually everything there. They mulch, they weed, they sew–whatever needs to be done.”
Zartman, a former teacher, also said the shuttle operates a program called Cooking Mat-ters, where teenagers, children and families are taught how to shop and cook and eat health-fully on a low budget. Volun-teers for this program assist with preparation and opera-tion of the classes, although qualified volunteers –chefs or nutritionists – also teach the courses.
The shuttle also operates a program called Backpack Buddies, which helps provide students with food when school systems cannot.
“There are kids who receive free or reduced price lunch in school, and some of them are going home Friday afternoon to a house with little or no food. I can’t imagine eating nothing over the weekend,” Zartman said. “We send home with some of these kids – over 1,200 a week – backpacks, ge-neric backpacks so there is no stigma attached to taking one home, with six kid friendly single serve meals. They use it over the weekend, they return the backpacks on Monday, and we send them out again at the end of the school week for the whole school year.”
This spirit of giving has caught on in the community, and the Rev. Diane Faires, as-sociate minister of St. Paul’s Christian Church, leads a youth group who routinely in-corporates volunteering with organizations like the Food Shuttle into their own pro-grams.
According to Zed Whitehu-
rst, a junior at Barton College and one of the oldest par-ticipants in the youth group, St. Paul’s organizes a lock-in multiple times a year. At lock-ins, group members spend the night in the church and learn about a different social issue and volunteer the next day with an organization related to that issue.
“Along with the overnight stay, there is usually an educa-tional part where we try to find a volunteer event,” Whitehurst said. “The games, fellowship…lack of sleep because the girls are talking, make it fun. But, we’re also trying to demon-strate what the youth have learned and hopefully help out
elsewhere.”For Zachary Jones, a 13-year-
old N.C. State fan and group member, volunteering with the food shuttle allowed him to put himself in the shoes of a food-insecure family.
“I like that we’re helping others,” Brady said. “If I were needy, I’d like it if someone helped me.”
Zartman said this is the big-gest motivating factor for vol-unteers.
“It looks great on your re-sume when you’ve done volun-teering for any amount of time. You’re also giving back to the community – that’s the biggest thing,” Zartman said. “Most of the people who come here are
doing it because they feel like they have been privileged and want to be able to help other people get out of the rut they might be in.”
But according to Zartman, there is still a lot of work to do.
“I’m sure we’ll keep expand-ing. We have to keep expand-ing. There are more people be-coming hungry every day. It’s a real problem,” Zartman said. “In 2010, we rescued 6.5 mil-lion pounds of food. But that’s just a drop in the bucket com-pared to what’s going in our landfills. Good food doesn’t belong in our landfills.”

Olsen was particularly im-pressed with Miller’s perfor-mance.
“Ashley [Miller] was great to-night, in double and singles,” Olsen said. “I thought she was very sharp and a great competi-tor. She really executed well, played with a lot of energy and pump on the court.
“I was completely impressed with her today.”
Despite his team dropping just two matches during the day, Olsen paid due respect to his opponents and felt his team could have done better to avoid the losses.
“I think Winthrop’s a good
team and I give them credit,” Olsen said. “I thought their doubles team played well.
“I thought Tatti-Elisha [Ta-tiana Illova and Elisha Hande] came out a little bit tentative and it took them 4-5 games to play more aggressive. They just needed to start with a little more energy.”
N.C. State travels to Tennes-see on Friday to play Tulsa. Olsen felt it would be a great experience.
“It’s great to play matches,” Olsen said. “I think we are looking forward to a good week of preparation, some good in-tensity and really sharpening up some things on the doubles court.
“There’s a lot to build off of today. I am looking forward to it.”

In a mixed weekend for the Pack, the men’s wres-tling team on the road de-feated American University 25-18 while losing to the University of Maryland 27-12.
Starting as underdogs against American (4-5), who were ranked No. 9 in the nation heading into the matchup, the Pack (4-5) won six out of the 10 bouts, two of them by pin falls, to register one of the most historic victories in the program’s history.
Coach Carter Jordan felt the victory said a lot about his team.
“The mark of a solid team is to do well on the road and beating a team of that cali-ber,” Jordan said. “With five freshman and two sopho-mores, it says a lot about the character of the team and the work ethic they put in.”
Jordan gave credit to the Eagles and felt it was a incredible t a sk ac-complish-ing what they did against a te a m of that stat-ure.
“Ameri-can Uni-versity has four really good guys and the other six are really solid,” Jordan said. “They have beat some really good schools this year.”
Jordan felt the victory would go down as one of
the proudest moments in the program’s history.
“It was a huge win for the program, a huge win for the kids,” Jordan said. “It’s a payoff,
this is why we are working so hard.
I can’t re-member the last time we had a w in over a top-10 team. I think we have to go back to 1993 for that.”
However Maryland de-
spite being ranked lower than the Eagles, proved too much of a mountain for the Pack, as the Pack won only three of their matchups, one of them by forfeit.
Jordan felt Maryland had a
really solid line-up coming into the game.
“Maryland has one guy ranked No. 2, they have two returning All-Americans,” Jordan said. “They have got a bunch of guys ranked in the top 30 so from top to bottom they are a really, really solid team.
“They beat Virginia Tech bad, and Virginia Tech is ranked No. 15.”
Jordan felt the loss was a part of the process and something they had to take in the stride especially with a team as young as his.
“Most of the guys are just young so these are kind of ups and downs.,” Jordan said. “There are some nights where you can look like world beat-ers and some nights where you look like you are under a lot of pressure.”
Jordan, however, reserved
special praise for senior Dar-ius Little who is ranked No. 11 in the nation in his weight category.
“Darius has had a great cou-ple of week’s here,” Jordan said. “He has beat three ranked guys in the last 10 days. He keeps climbing up the rankings.
“I was really proud of his ef-fort. He dominated the match from whistle to whistle.”
State takes on Oklahoma State next. Jordan felt it would prove to be a good experience as his team looks to qualify for the NCAA championships.
“Next weekend is going to be tougher,” Jordan said. “We got to wrestle the best we can and try to qualify for the NCAA tournament.
And we will look to go out there and play as hard as we can.”

Gymnastics wins in Chicago
No. 18 N.C. State came away victorious in its first road test of the season, hanging a 194.200 on Illinois-Chicago. Senior Brooke Barr won on vault and floor, and sub-mitted a runner-up performance on beam as State clinched a win in its first road contest of the season. Barr’s highlight came with a 9.875 floor routine to top the rest of the field by a full tenth of a point. Barr tied Diahanna Ham with a 9.85 vault to put two Pack gymnasts on the top of the podium. A 9.8 on beam capped Barr’s evening, good to tie Stephanie Ouellette for second, and trailing only Jess Panza’s first place 9.85. State returns to action in a week, as the Wolfpack travels to Oklahoma to square off with the Sooners on Friday, January 27 at 8 p.m. ET.

DiD You know?The last time Scott Wood missed
a free throw was during a home loss to Virginia Tech on Feb. 2, 2011
After going on three-game tear, women drop home match up with UNC.
Jeniece JamisonDeputy Sports Editor
N.C. State’s three-game winning streak was ended by in-state rival Carolina in a 60-50 contest Sun-day afternoon. The Pack shot a season low 27.8 per-cent from the field and just 33.3 percent from the free throw line in the loss.
“We are obviously dis-appointed that we are not walking out of here with a win today,” coach Kellie Harper said. “Unfortu-nately, when you play in the ACC, you need to shoot bet-ter than 27 percent to win, and UNC did what they needed to do to put points on the board and execute like they needed to.”
The Wolfpack kicked off the game with a firm grip on the steering wheel. Soph-omore center Kody Burke drained an unexpected three from the left corner, giving the Pack a 9-3 lead early in the first half. State maintained its early advan-tage until UNC forward Laura Broomfield gave the Heels their first lead, 15-14.
The first half continued to be a power struggle for both teams with each squad hav-ing an Achilles’ heel. The Pack only shot 28.2 percent from the field and the Tar Heels committed 14 turn-overs in the half. State also out-rebounded UNC by a 13 to five margin on the offensive glass. Burke fin-
ished the game with 10 points and went 4-of-15 from the field.
“When your shot is not go-ing in, you tend to lose confi-dence,” Burke said. “I was get-ting my shot blocked a lot, and that definitely shifted my focus. I just need to get my head up high and keep going.”
After two consecutive threes from Carolina, State sopho-more guard Myisha Goodwin-Coleman responded with one of her own from the Kay Yow Court decal to put the Pack up 26-24 late in the half.
Another layup from Brom-field tied the game with 19.6 seconds left in the half, knot-ting the score at 28-28 going into the locker room.
“We just didn’t execute our game plan very well,” Harper said. “We took way too many threes in the first half.”
The beginning of the second half continued to be a power struggle for both sides.
The Pack regained its lead off of a fast break layup from junior guard Marissa Kastanek, but State would be plagued with a cold spell from that point on. The Wolfpack only hit three field goals in the last 10 minutes, which allowed the Heels to mount their come-back.
“Sometimes that is just how the game goes,” Kastanek said. “Like coach Kellie said in the locker room, when you miss a shot, you are not going to make every shot you take. Our job is to find opportunities for the people who are making them and get them the ball more of-ten, and we did not do that very well tonight. “
A three from Carolina guard Candace Wood have the Heels a seven-point lead, 48-41. A la-yup down from UNC forward
Tierra Ruffin-Pratt, which put the Heels up by 10 with a min-ute and a half left in the game,
put the dagger into the heart of the Pack.
State’s next game is against
Florida State at 6:30 p.m. this Friday.
Powered by Wood’s 21 points, State vaults to a tie for ACC lead.
Staff Report
N.C. State (15-5, 4-1 ACC) had four players in double digits Sunday afternoon, as the Pack defeated Miami (10-7, 1-3 ACC) by a score of 78-73. State’s 4-1 conference mark is the best start the program has reached since matching that total in the 2003-2004 season.
Junior forward Scott Wood, who broke the ACC’s all-time consecutive free throw record with 5:21 re-maining, scored 21 points while playing a team-high 38 minutes. Former Duke star J.J. Reddick held the original mark for most consecutive free throws before Wood extended his streak to 58 consecutive free throws by game’s end.
The Pack led 55-41 mid-way through the second half, but did not crack fol-lowing a late Miami rally. The ‘Canes cut the lead to four with 1:44 remaining, but State’s five unanswered points assured the Pack a successful trip to Coral Gables.
Junior center DeShawn Painter had 18 points for State, which marked the first time he has reached double figures since Nov. 30 against Indiana. Sopho-more forward C.J. Leslie (10) and senior guard C.J. Williams (11) also played considerable roles in State’s second conference road vic-tory.
Prior to this season, the Wolfpack only had three ACC road wins in the previ-ous two seasons combined.
The trip down to South Beach began inauspicious-
ly for State when it fell behind 11-6 in the early going. After the Pack kept the Hurricanes without a single basket for a stretch of over five minutes in the first half, it was able to con-struct a 24-17 lead. Using a 10-0 run and consecutive three-pointers from Williams, State beefed its lead up to 16 points.
The ‘Canes shot 7-of-25 from the field in the first half and went 2-of-20 from behind the arc for the entire game. The deficit ended up being too much for Miami to overcome.
N.C. State maintained its double digit lead halfway
through the second half until the Hurricanes cut the lead to eight with 7:33 remaining. Miami, led by 20 points from Kenny Kadji, blitzed State, but could not cap the comeback. Wood’s two free throws with 18 seconds left ended any hope the BankUnited Center faithful had remaining.
The Pack continues ACC play with a trip to North Carolina on Thursday. State has not won in Chapel Hill since an over-time victory on Feb. 25, 2003.
Pack clinches 12 out of 14 matches to begin season on a high note
Rishav DeyDeputy Sports Editor
The N.C. State women’s tennis team came out on top in its first two match ups of the spring season as it beat Davidson, 5-0, and No. 67 Winthrop, 6-1.
State, who started the day ranked No. 34 in the nation and had the No. 40 singles player in the nation with sophomore Joelle Kissell, didn’t break a sweat as they went on to win 12 of the 14 matches during the day.
Earlier in the day, fresh-man Nicole Martinez and junior Chloe Smith teamed up to win their doubles en-counter after which Kis-sell, junior Tatiana Illova, se-nior Ash-ley Miller and fresh-man Eli-sha Hande won their respective singles matches in convinc-ing fash-ion with Miller finishing first followed by Illova, Kissell and Hande in the order of finish.
In the second matchup of the day, which featured three doubles matches and six singles matches, State finished unscathed apart from a loss apiece in the doubles for Illova and Hande and in the singles for Smith.
Miller, who only dropped two games combined in
both her singles matches, said she her enjoyment contributed to her success on the court.
“I thought I played really well,” Miller said. “I had fun, which was the most important part. Because I had fun, I guess that’s why I played so well.”
Miller, who is also the team captain, felt her performance got better over the course of the day.
“I was less nervous going into my second match,” Miller said. ”I felt like my serve was getting better.”
Illova won her first singles match 6-1, 6-1 and her second match 6-2, 6-2, but suffered a 4-8 defeat in the doubles. De-spite the loss, she was content with her performance.
“I am pretty happy about my last match,” Illova said. “It was great, I played really well. I played her before and lost, so I am really happy I won this
time.”Head coach
Hans Olsen felt that, de-spite a tenta-t ive begin-ning, he was happy with the way his t e a m p e r-formed.
“ I n t h e morning, lot of the play-ers were a l i t t l e ne r-
vous, which is normal,” Olsen said. “I think they did a good job of starting the season and they were much more focused tonight with a good opponent.
“They really came out with a lot of energy and really ex-ecuted, competed really well with a lot of heart and hustle all over the courts. It was a good match.”
