UNC System president throws Board of Governors new tuition curveballWith a new and lower proposal on the horizon, Student Government awaits an answer from the Board of Governors.
Jessie HalpernDeputy News Editor
Student Government has been grap-pling with a proposed tuition increase since early last semester. After the latest Board of Governors meeting, it looks like an end might be near.
Wednesday night found the Student Senate listening intently as Chancel-lor Randy Woodson summarized the UNC Board of Governors’ latest meet-ing regarding the proposed tuition in-creases for N.C. State and other UNC System schools.
The proposed increase, called the “catch-up” plan, seeks to increase tu-ition by $1,500 over the next five years.
As of December, Student Govern-ment took a uni-fied stance against t h e i n c r e a s e , sending a bill to the Board of Gov-ernors asserting that the proposed tuition increases were unaccept-able to the student body.
Patrick Devore, chair of the Stu-dent Senate’s tu-ition and fees com-mittee, said at the Jan. 13 Board of Governors meeting, the Student Senate bill didn’t make the impact they had hoped it would.
“We didn’t bring the bill forth at the last governor’s meeting because it wasn’t an appropriate time due to the context of the conversation,” Devore said. “In the future, if we ever find ourselves at odds with the Board of Governors again, writing another bill won’t be off the table.”
Though the Student Senate bill didn’t come up at the meeting, Thom-as Ross, president of the UNC-System schools, did. Ross alluded to a differ-ent increase plan.
“Ross said his proposal would be for two years, not more than a 10 percent increase per year, not more than $500 the first year, and not more than $250 the second,” Devore said.
While Woodson accurately con-veyed Ross’s proposed plan, he hesi-tated to support it.
“President Ross is considering less than the school recommendation to keep pressure on the General Assem-bly,” Waoodson said. “[The catch-up
tuition increase is] a one time chance to make up some of the headroom in the market and regain lost resources.”
Chandler Thompson, student body president, says right now it’s a bit of a waiting game.
“I’m glad that Ross is looking to make a new proposal that should be lower. As soon as we get that informa-tion about it, we’ll inform students,” Thompson said.
Though Ross’s proposal is less than the “catch-up” plan, it still represents an increase in tuition, but Student Government isn’t concerned.
“We don’t need to worry about fight-ing that increase as much because we feel that Ross’s increase will be less than what State originally asked for,” Devore said.
Students continue to wait for Ross’s final proposal. In the meantime, Stu-dent Government will be hosting a tuition talk day to let students ask questions right to the source.
“Our tuition talk day will be in the Brick-yard on Feb. 1 at 11:30,” Thompson said. “For stu-dents who have class, there will be an online forum where they can post their questions. The chancellor will be present, and hopefully
he’ll be able to answer some students’ questions.”
Thompson encourages students to come out and voice their concerns, explaining that while Student Gov-ernment does not get a vote on the Board of Governors, they can still have a powerful effect on the final outcome.
“After the increase proposal is voted on by the Board of Governors in Feb-ruary, it goes downtown to the legis-lature,” Thompson said. “That’s where students can have a real effect on the outcome. They can call, email, write letters and contact the Student Senate Public Affairs Committee to oppose the increase.”
Additionally, Thompson is invit-ing students to send in videos for the “Cuts Hurt” initiative about how budget cuts negatively impact their education.
“If we can have a more stable budget, tuition increases might not be as cru-cial,” Thompson said. “It’s definitely time for North Carolina to invest in higher education.”

Student Health Center relies on discretionWhen it comes to strong medications, student health officials rely on case-by-case discretion for prescriptions.
Anna RileyStaff Writer
As the peak of flu season draws near, students are drawn to the Student Health Center, though not always for the right reasons.
Cases of the flu virus and various sicknesses peak during January and February and require diligent care, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Persistent f lu symptoms include high fever, sore throat, and a cough that is often treated with Promethazine/Codeine syrup, an antihistamine and narcotic cough suppressant mixture.
Codeine syrup is an opiate, lead-ing to concerns about allowing mass numbers of students direct access to the medication. Opiates come from the substance opium, which is derived
from poppy plants. They are typi-cally used for the treatment of pain, though abusers commonly use them recreationally.
In recent years, codeine became a fixture in hip-hop culture and mu-sic after people began mi x ing c o u g h s y r u p with soft drinks and labeling the drink “lean” or “sizzurp,” ac-cording to a USA Today report.
Though small amounts of co-deine cough syr-up are effective in treating painful, persistent cough-ing, continued use and abuse of the narcotic can lead to addiction.
Matt Walker, a senior in commu-nications, said he’s known many stu-dents who were prescribed codeine cough medicine after going to the
Student Health Center.“I think that if a student actually
needs it, it should be readily avail-able, but I also believe that pre-scription drug abuse is a problem that should be taken seriously by
school authori-t ies,” Walker said.
While a co-dei ne coug h syrup prescrip-tion is avai l-able to s tu-dents from the health center, Sanford-based physician’s as-sistant Carolyn Rodgers said it is much more com mon for
private practices and outside prac-titioners to prescribe the drug.
“Some doctors give it freely, but others don’t at all,” Rodgers said.

Civil rights celebrated on campusStudents celebrate MLK Day with a week-long tribute.
Lauren VanderveenStaff Writer
In the heat of the Civil Rights Move-ment, Martin Luther King Jr. deliv-ered the famous “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963, where he stressed the importance of non-violent protest and the undeniable need for racial equality in America.
Forty-eight years later, not only is King celebrated through a national holiday, but his message is still being taught through campus-wide events.
Wes Moore, author of “The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates,” led one such event by paying tribute to King in a speech to students Jan. 9.
Tanya Watson, a graduate student in curriculum and instruction, attended the event and spoke on what it meant to her.
“For me, the activities and Martin Luther King’s teachings interrupt the negative thoughts I have, and as a woman and an African Ameri-can, convince me to understand the plight of others and ‘The Other’ [Wes Moore’s book],” Watson said.
Having a campus with a population
of around 30,000 — all of whom come from different backgrounds, ethnici-ties and cultures — makes it impera-tive to continue to promote King’s convictions, Moore said.
“Wes Moore also weaved into his talk the importance of having mul-tiple vantage points, where our view should be a world view, an outward look into the lives of others,” Watson added.
Other students have seen the ben-efits for having these events at the University as well.
“One thing I like about this campus the most is how much it promotes di-versity and how that brings everyone together to make a bond that no one else can understand,” Kendyll Gra-ham, a freshman in animal science, said.
According to Kathryn Michael, director of youth programs for the CSLEPS’s Service-Leadership Team, several Martin Luther King Jr. Day events took place throughout the week.
“The event’s theme is ‘respecting our right to free speech’ in light of the hate speech incidents on cam-pus,” Michael said. “Edward Brown, director of diversity programs at N.C. State, spoke on this and led a discus-
sion. We also had another speaker, Dennis Gullick, give some remarks on peaceful protest, and then we made some signs for the march that participants did around campus.”
The SLT will also be making hy-giene kits and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the Raleigh Rescue Mission, along with do-nating 48 haircut vouchers to The Healing Place, Michael said.
The same group will be hosting the 10th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Service Challenge Satur-day, funded by the NC Campus Compact Grant.
“Due to a huge response from the student body, we had to cut off registration for the event at 100 stu-dents; our goal was 50. In addition, 50 Ligon Middle School students participated,” Michael added.
Uniting students from all levels of education in a combined effort service project shows the power King’s words still hold almost 50 years later, Michael said.
“His quote, ‘Life’s most persistent and urgent question is what you are doing for others’ and his belief that anybody can serve were inspira-tions for the event,” Michael said.

Dwight Hawkins has a different view on traveling than most people. Calling himself a modern day hobo, Hawkins travels the nation playing in impromptu bands, riding on freight trains, and singing about his adventures. “In New Orleans, I
didn’t have a job, so I just put together a band for a day. Its hard at first to communi-cate, but eventually you don’t get nervous anymore,” he said. “A D chord is the same everywhere.” Hawkins doesn’t recommend that everyone tries his lifestyle though. “I’ve been pulled off a number of trains. I’ve run into guys doing inspections. But the exhilaration is worth far more than getting caught.” Ultimately, Hawkins lifestyle is one of self sustainability. “I’m a traditional hobo. I wander and travel, but I work.” In fact, Hawkins is skilled in carpentry and tile work, but enjoys his train hopping lifestyle more. “I’m gonna ride, ride, ride.”

The live feed State professors installed last year returns just in time for two new eaglets’ arrival.
Sarah DashowStaff Writer
In October 2010, a camera was set up at Jordan Lake that broadcast a nest of bald eagles. While it was taken down after the eagles left, it was put back online just two weeks ago.
The idea started with Ted Si-mons, professor in the biology department, who for the past few years has taken his class out to the lake to see the bald eagles. Occasionally he would visit the nest with his friend Francis Ferrell, biologist and member of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
“We were quite excited to be able to go 20 minutes from downtown and see an active nest, and when we were return-ing from the nest back in 2010, I said to Francis, ‘This would be really exciting for people in the Triangle who aren’t aware that bald eagles are nesting right in this area’,” Simons said.
The problem, however, was the remoteness of the nest’s lo-cation. They enlisted the help
of engineer John Wettroth, managing director of Maxim Integrated Products, who de-signed a system that would al-low the cameras to broadcast online.
“There is no power out there, so we basically had to put up solar cells and get batteries that could be charged and then put a camera way up in a tree above the nest, about 60 feet up. There are two of them actually, a spare. There’s a radio transmitter that transmits the signal back to a house, a person that vol-unteered...[and there w a s a ] DSL l ine put i nto the house, a nd t hat is where it hooks up into the Internet,” Wettroth said.
The project also required the help of N.C. State students. As part of a networking class se-mester project, they helped get the lines across the lake set up. Additionally, they helped to set up the website.
“Basically, what the kids did
was build the web page and write some of the software scripts that bring frames up and provide them to the users,” Wettroth said.
Ferrell also said the Univer-sity’s computer science depart-ment helped out.
When the group started the project, they were unsure how well it would do, but just weeks after the camera went live in early 2011, they received mil-lions of hits with thousands of viewers watching at a time from
36 different countries.
“After goi ng a l l winter, the chicks hatched in early Janu-ary and we k e p t t h e camera on until...they grew up and
left the nest at the end of April...there was tremendous interest in the camera. We were really shocked by that,” Simons said.
The project also encourages viewers to participate, a meth-od called citizen science. Ferrell set up a Facebook page where viewers can post their observa-tions of the nest.
“The fact that there are thou-sands of people watching this nest continuously provides the opportunity to gather in-formation that would be pretty difficult to do any other way,” Simons said.
Ferrell noted the new abil-ity viewers have to chat with each other on the Ustream site where the feed was posted this
year.While the camera is back up
now, Simons said due to a lack of time and funds, the project has been handed over to Ferrell and his science crew at the lake.
“We had a such a great fol-lowing last year that we felt it was worthwhile to take on the project again. We felt that the project did a great job of
making people in the Triangle aware that there are bald eagles nesting nearby, and we didn’t want people to lose that oppor-tunity,” Ferrell said.
Despite the University hand-ing control over to other bi-ologists, all involved with the project hope to see it continue.

Rodgers added giving a patient codeine cough syrup is subjective and providers should consider a range of factors when prescribing a medication that contains an opiate like codeine. These factors include medical history, symptoms and ten-dency toward abuse.
Regarding student health centers and the University’s in particular, Rodgers said it’s not unusual for students to be denied codeine cough syrup because the health center practitioners often have limited knowledge of a student’s medical history.
“[The Student Health Center] didn’t use to write codeine prescriptions at all. People would come see me and complain about that,” Rodgers said.
In most cases, doctors use their personal discre-tion to determine the right prescription for a patient; according to Sarah Rober-son, a physician’s assistant
on campus, the Student Health Center is no different. Rober-son said each provider is an individual practitioner, and he or she decides on a case-to-case basis which prescriptions, if any, should be written.
“Most of us try to limit those prescriptions. [Codeine cough syrup] wouldn’t typically be my first choice -- it’s more of a last resort,” Roberson said.
When practitioners prescribe codeine syrup, it is typically in small quantities with low doses with no refills, according to Roberson.
“On a campus with over 30,000 students, there will inevitably be a percentage of [patients] coming through the health center needing prescrip-tions like codeine syrup,” Rob-erson said. “The medication is reserved for patients with a very persistent cough that does not respond to other cough sup-pressants.”
That doctors are using dis-cretion in prescribing strong medications, yet it cannot be determined if that discretion is always accurate.

Student Government members are invited to attend all meetings held
by the Board of Governors and speak on behalf of the students. Student Government members from each school in the UNC System attend these meetings.
However, not one person in Student Government has the power to vote in any capacity at these meetings. The right to vote should be granted to them as it would be more beneficial to the student body.
Last December, Student Gov-ernment wrote a bill in opposi-tion to the impending tuition increase. The bill, a unified submission of to the Board of Governors, spoke in the voice of the student body at N.C.
State.When this bill was submit-
ted to the Board of Governors, it was ineffective and largely ignored. It should have been given more weight and consid-eration. No one should know better what the students’ needs and wants are than the stu-dents themselves.
As much as students hate the increase in tuition, it is a neces-sary evil, and no one is denying it has to happen. The problem lies in students lacking a say in the amount tuition is increased each year and for how many years this increase will remain.
Currently, N.C. State stu-dents’ say in what happens in matters concerning their tu-ition lies in their power to elect the members of Student Gov-ernment. In turn, those elected members can appeal to the Board of Governors. However, this influence is demonstrably inadequate.
In order to have a more ef-fective voice in student affairs, Student Government should be granted the right to vote. Each university in the UNC System should be granted one vote, which would mean an ad-ditional 16 votes.
If Student Government is to be taken seriously by the Board of Governors, they should be granted some form of official influence. A lot is expected of the members of Student Gov-ernment, but without the abil-ity to vote, they are effectively powerless.
The ability to vote, even if the student voting bloc is small, will give students a voice in is-sues that matter to them. We pay to attend the University, so we deserve a voice in the hap-penings of our school. Giving this voice to Student Govern-ment is the easiest way to do this.
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.

Ignoring the truth doesn’t change it
The other day I was sit-ting in my sociology class, and my professor
asked the entire class two ques-tions. The first question she asked was, “Do you all believe
that women in America are still being oppressed?” Most of the c l a s s q u i -etly said no, and very few people said yes. She then asked us an-other ques-
tion: “Do you think racism still exists in our society?” and without hesitation the whole class said yes. Some even laughed like it was a rhetorical question, and the answer was obvious.
I was left wondering how Americans, my peers, people I am sitting next to—something I would never have been able to do 50 years ago—can be-lieve racism doesn’t exist today. Haven’t we come a long way? We h ave c om e fa r enoug h to elect a bi-racial Presi-dent . Some progress has been made, but apparently not enough to fool my peers. It seems as though we have a couple more mountains to climb before America can be officially proclaimed a nation that accepts all people.
Being on a large campus like N.C. State, which is a predom-inantly Caucasian institute, I found it welcoming when I discovered the diversity on our campus. Everywhere I looked there seemed to be someone of a different ethnicity. I was not expecting such diversity.
That being said, it is wonder-ful our University is always trying to include every differ-ent background in order for everyone to feel accepted and welcomed. Yet, I still find flaws on the campus that are hard to overlook.
As an African American, there have been difficult points in classes when I am outnum-
bered by the Caucasians in the room, but this has never phased me. What gets to me more is when there is a room full of students, and the seat next to me remains empty un-til someone is forced to sit next to me. It’s as though they are scared of me or any other seat in the room would be better than next to the “black girl.”
I didn’t notice such behavior until it continued happening over and over. At first I just thought they didn’t want to squeeze down the aisle to get the last seat, but once I added my race in the equation, I started to think otherwise. I am willing to admit my as-sumption could be complete-ly wrong or misguided, but something in me believes there is still racism on this campus.
This is what I have come to realize: Just because you put people in a diverse set-ting does not mean they will change their ways of thinking.
If anything, the environ-ment w i l l probably force them to turn more toward their own racial group to feel comfort.
Although our univer-sity is home
to nearly 35,000 students, you rarely find groups of friends who contain several different races. You can observe this all over campus in the Atrium, the gymnasium or the din-ing halls. We have a horrible tendency to stick to “our own kind.”
We’ve come so far, yet are still segregated. No, there are not separate dining facilities anymore or different sport teams for each race, but there might as well be. Unless some-thing drastic is done to bring this to attention not only our student body but all of Amer-ica—we will sit there, content as ever, as though no changes need to be made within our society.

Cheap coins, cheap trickLast night, while I was
slaving away on a pile of homework that was
too large for this early in the semester, a noise from
the televi-sion in the other room caught my attention. The noise was about the attacks o n o u r country on 9/11 and the United States’
promise that those respon-sible would “pay the ulti-mate price.” As someone who is politically conscious and has close ties to those attacks, I figured I’d go and see what the message was all about.
As it turns out, it was a commercia l. As the commercial went on, my bull**** alarm started going crazy. The commercial cut forward to May 1, 2011, the date Seal Team 6 carried out Operation Geronimo. The commercial showed drama-tized footage of the ordeal, then cut to two sparkling coins with the Navy Seals on the front and the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and Flight 93 on the back. This was the point where my sus-picion meter started rising.
What really made the
alarm go off was when the anonymous commercial voice said the value of the coins was over $100, but I, the viewer, could buy them for $49.95. Also, if I called in the next 10 minutes, the price would be knocked down to $19.95.
By the end of the commercial, I was offered a $240 value for just $19.95. What a deal, right? Well, it would have been a great deal if it wasn’t a complete scam. This commemorative coin that is supposedly a way to show off your pride and to re-member our victory is offensive to me, a patriotic American, on so many levels.
The money being generated from the sale of these com-memorative coins isn’t go-ing to be used to support the troops overseas or the military or even the government—not that they’d do the right thing with it anyway. The company minting this coin goes by the name Justice Coin LLC and Historical Coin Mint, and its business is making a profit off people’s national pride.
Of course, it isn’t a crime to raise money in support of causes or to offer commemora-tive things to people for dona-tions. As a matter of fact, those are good ways to show real sup-port and care. But when you hold onto that money for your-self, you become deplorable. The organizations involved in the struggles being commemo-rated are the ones who really
deserve the money, not some jerk in Colorado.
How can you assign a value to 10 years of war, of struggle, of loss and alienation of family, to all of the effort and torment the troops, to the bravery of Seal Team 6, to all of the lives lost in the attacks and the subsequent wars? How can you tell me that, for $19.95, I can show that I commemorate what has been accomplished? I have friends and family, as I’m sure anyone reading this does, who act as human commemorations. Do not forget the decorations the veterans bring back so we never forget. And, let’s not forget the PTSD they bring back with them either.
I don’t understand how the announcer is okay with gleefully proclaiming the entire struggle can be boiled down to a value of $240. Everyone at N.C. State has lived with this war for their entire lives. It started at the same time I became aware a whole world existed be-yond me, and this war really helped me understand that. My life’s memory is worth more than $240, and I can’t believe someone would try to sell it for that.

Exploring wine is an enriching experiment for those ready for a classier beverage.
Frances Ellis and Nikki StoudtStaff Writers
Natural Light and Burnett’s are staples at college parties, but they may have to share the limelight with a more sophisti-cated beverage. With vineyards all across the state, it was only a matter of time until wine made its way onto N.C. State’s cam-pus and the guest list of nearly every party.
Arielle Vari, a junior in nutri-tion science, grew up around wine, so it was natural for her to begin enjoying it as she be-came older.
“My family is Italian, and they always drank wine,” Vari said. “I grew up being exposed to it.”
But for others, wine is un-charted territory. Ryan Fulk-erson, an NCSU alumnus, along with his partners Jeff Bramwell and Seth Hoffman, are co-owners of The Raleigh Wine Shop. They offered a brief summary on different types of red and white wines.
Popular red wines, in order from fuller-bodied to lighter, are Cabernet Sauvignon, Syr-ah/Shiraz, Malbec and Pinot Noir. Cabernet is from France, California and Washington, while Syrah is from Austra-lia. For many of the past few years, Malbec has been a con-sistent go-to cheap red wine.
Popular white wines, also in order from fuller-bodied to lighter, are Riesling, which is often sweet, Chardonnay, Sau-vignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio/Gris. All these wines originated
in France.The temperature of the wine
is a topic that is frequently raised. “Red wines are okay at room temperature, but if you can pop it in the refrigerator for five to ten minutes, you can get it at the perfect temperature,” Bramwell said. “White wines are best when you let them chill in the fridge for about 45 minutes first. A general tip is the lighter the white wine, the cooler you can drink it.”
The old adage of pairing white meats with white wine and red meats with red wine sti l l holds true, a lthough Fulkerson suggests choosing a favorite. “Wine shouldn’t be any more intimidating than it has to be,” Fulkerson said. “Try and see what you like; be up for trying new things.”
Bramwell and Hoffman agree; the way a wine is cho-sen should be more about personal preferences and less about preconceived wine stan-dards. “There’s an occasion for every wine, and people should explore both the red and white spectrum with disregard to ste-reotypes and misconceptions,” Bramwell said.
“The great thing about wine is that much of it is opinion,” Hoffman said. “It al-lows you to explore and experiment and find out what fits your palate.”
Kurt Saylor of The Wine Merchant of Cary also said choos-ing a wine should be about personal exploration.”There are two ways to develop the pal-ate,” Saylor said. “The first is through reading; books, mag-azines, internet articles and anything else offering advice in sampling and the second is, of course, by tasting.”
Experimenting and learning about wine is the easiest way to become a wine connoisseur. “Once you learn to associate names with certain f lavors, your palate will develop,” Say-lor said.
While getting into wine seems like a lot of unnecessary work, Bramwell gives some ad-vice on getting started. “Don’t fear your local wine shop,” Bramwell said. “Take the time
to search out wines with character.”
Many wine retailers of-fer weekend w ine tast-ings, includ-ing The Ra-leigh Wine Shop a nd The Wi ne Merchant of
Cary.Cost is a determining fac-
tor for most college students. While wine can be expensive, many retailers, like Saylor, showcase local vineyards to make the beverage accessible to all who are of age, free of charge.
Attending these vineyard showcases is not only cheaper, but also helps to support local growing vineyards in NC. “By buying locally made wines, you are getting an equally great wine for a lower price and sup-porting growers in the area,” Saylor said.
With options like these and a little time and curiosity, it’s simple for college students to learn more about wine and perhaps even discover a few favorites.
Vari, with help from her Ital-ian family and personal explo-
ration at college, has begun to develop her own preferences. “I prefer red wine, specifically Cabernet Sauvignon, but lately I’ve been drinking Yellowtail, since it’s a good quality wine at an attractive price,” Vari said. “I like enjoying a glass of wine at dinner or when I’m out with my friends or boyfriend; it’s become an enjoyable aspect of life.”

Flagship beer from the acclaimed dark beer specialty brewery sweetens up the impression of stouts.
Mark HerringFeature Editor
Duck Rabbit milk stout is not a beer for sipping. Calling it a beverage doesn’t suffice in ex-plaining what this beer is. Duck Rabbit milk stout is a beer you bite into. It’s a meal.
Unlike the popular stout icon Guinness, Duck Rabbit makes its stout with an addition of lac-tose sugar, a sugar that typical beer yeast cannot ferment into alcohol. However, the contri-bution of lactose gives Duck Rabbit’s milk stout a unique sweetness to balance out the bold, dark-beer flavors.
Duck Rabbit is known in the local beer scene for its dark-beer niche. The lightest their varieties come is an amber ale, which could sink any other amber with its richness. Duck Rabbit’s flagship beer, the milk stout, does not stray from the brewery’s specialty. This milk stout is the milkshake of beers.
The brewers from Farmville,
NC use a generous amount of dark, toasty malts to make this beer a stout, and with the bold coffee and caramel flavors with typical stout charred notes, the hops are almost unnoticeable in aroma or taste. The lactose adds depth and sweetness, rounding off the heaviness of the malt.
Duck Rabbit is growing in
popularity in North Carolina and is one of the largest brew-eries in the state, so this beer is found on tap in many bars and bottled at the supermarket. However, this is a beer meant to be in a pint glass. The bottles tend to be flat, and for this beer, a creamy head tops off the ex-perience. The carbonation also helps cut the richness.
Duck Rabbit’s milk stout is a beer to finish on, since every beer after will carry a syrupy stoutness. If you’re a fan of dark beers, this one may throw you off guard. Unlike German Dünkels, this isn’t a clean, crisp beer. Unlike Guinness, this isn’t a low alcohol session bar.
Duck Rabbit is paving its own way with stouts. Instead of conforming to a standard you can’t top—Guinness—our neighbors in Eastern Carolina are changing our perception of dark beer. Not all dark beers
taste the same.Duck Rabbit
could be consid-ered a gateway stout, with a sweet balance to its typical stout qua l i-
ties. And like many gate-way agents, Duck Rabbit’s mi l k s tout may turn you to the darker side of beer preference.

Graduate of textiles and design is competing in the upcoming Charleston Fashion Week.
Katie SandersStaff Writer
Keely Cansler became interested in fashion in high school after taking a sewing class, so she signed up to do the Step Program at N.C. State her junior year. Now she is competing in fashion design competitions and in-terning with a prominent New York based fashion company.
“[The Step Program] was a program where you have to start at the begin-ning; do a sketch and learn how to draft a pattern, and cut and sew and create a final product,” Cansler said.
Enjoying the experience, she contin-ued to work on design, came to NCSU and was accepted into the Anni Albers program, a dual-degree program be-tween the College of Textiles and the College of Design.
“That program really focuses on fabric design and fabric composi-tion, anything from dying to screen printing to weaving — any thing you can think of in terms of pro-ducing fabric. So I just took it upon myself to take that and use it in my designs,” Cansler said.
She immediately began incorporat-ing the techniques she learned into her designs. “For my first art-to-wear col-lection I knitted my own fabric and dyed it…and for the second I designed a woven pattern and had that woven at the College of Design,” Cansler said. “That’s one of my favorites: dying fabric.”
Now Cansler will be competing in the annual Charleston Fashion Week.
“It has earned and gained a reputa-
tion; our winners in the past of our designer competition have gone on to do great and big things,” Misty John-son, the marketing director for the Charleston Fashion Week, said about the event.
“What we feel this competition has done is given these designers an op-portunity to show in front of an ex-tremely prestigious fashion panel that we bring in,” Johnson said.
Cansler hopes to impress this panel with her designs and represent the Anni Albers scholars.
“It’s very rare in the world that sci-entists, technical people and design-ers talk to each other; this group of students goes out into the world and often acts as translators between these two worlds,” Vita Plume, art and de-sign associate professor, said about Cansler and the rest of the Anni Al-bers scholars.
Plume a lso showed some of Cansler’s past work, such as her ‘Art-to-Wear’ collection that was presented at NCSU. Not only did Cansler create her own fabric, but the designs were
elegant, unique, and expressive. For dresses de-signed for the theme ‘five stag-es of grief,’ she made bold choic-es like attaching the sleeves of a dress to its sides and accessoriz-ing another with a sharp-looking metal headdress.
“Her work is very conceptually based. She can construct anything, but for her, it’s the idea that’s impor-tant,” Plume said.
Cansler most recently interned this past summer in New York with one of her inspirations, Proenza Schouler.
“They do a lot of interesting prints and designs — especially shibori,” Cansler said. Shibori is a Japanese style of dying cloth after twisting and folding it.
“I loved it, every minute of it. I
helped with everything from what’s called line sheets to the fittings, and even cutting out fabric,” Cansler said referring to the internship. Line sheets are records of information about the clothing, including things like pic-tures, sketches, and prices.
For her own designs, Cansler usu-ally chooses a theme that inspires her throughout the line of clothing; for the Charleston fashion week, her theme has been chandeliers.
“I’ve always been obsessed with chandeliers because of their delicate complexities, their beauty and their function across the different decades,” Cansler said. She’s been working on incorporating many different aspects of the chandeliers, including their crystals and antiquity.
“I was inspired by the shadows...and the colors from the beams through the crystals of the lights also affected my fabric and materials choices,” Cansler said. “One really cool thing I’m do-ing is taking old chandeliers from junkyards...I’m taking them apart and making the jewelry and some of the accessories out of those.”
Nevertheless, her line of clothing for the Charleston Fashion week isn’t
going to be quite as radical as it was at NCSU; she’s actually trying a new style of design for this competition.
“I’m doing prêt-à-porter, or ready-to-wear, because typically in the past I’ve done art-to-wear…. This will be the first ready-to-wear line I’ve done,” Cansler said.
Plume, however, has the utmost confidence in Cansler and is excited
to cheer her on. “She really integrates what she learned here with her imagi-nation,” Plume said.
Cansler’s avant-garde designs can be seen on her website at keelylauren.carbonmade.com.

Dance music and its subversion makes way for new aesthetics.
John MitchellWKNC Assistant Music Director
Matthew Dear spent his high school years in Detroit. Known for its prominence in the auto world and its highly industrial composition, the city is also the birthplace of a musical phenomenon: techno.
Dear has been attempting to compound the industrial rhythm-base of the genre with pop melodies since his 2003 de-but album, Leave Luck to Heav-en. His next two releases, 2007’s Asa Breed and 2010’s Black City, showed a continued infatuation with the way he could work his disparate influences together. As both producer and primary vocalist, his music has always been keen on creating fully hashed musical ideas.
On his newest work, Head-cage, Dear seems to take it a step further, focusing on the flux in which his music exists at even greater lengths. Head-cage opens up with a title-track that would have been at home on his other releases due to its centralized rhythmic com-ponents. However, as the EP continues, the songs lose their characteristic pulse, culminat-ing in what may be Dear’s most deconstructed track to date, “Around the Fountain.”
In that song, Dear imple-ments a tribal-influenced drum pattern that loops in on itself, exposing a completely differ-ent feel from anything else he’s done. It is fascinating to think of the possibilities of what is to come for Dear--will he contin-ue the focused intensity of his pop-via-dance trademark, or is there something else in store?
It is also important to note how the videos Dear has re-
leased may foreshadow a mu-sical change for his upcoming work. Charles Bergquist’s visual interpretation of Black City standout, “Slow Dance,” is homage to the contrast of the substantial and the ethe-real apparent in Dear’s music. The video features stark scenes of skyscrapers, and dancers are overcast with a flowing oil mask. Glitch-heavy transitions are made to fit right in with the focus on fixation manifest in the song’s composition.
The videos released for Headcage are much more lucid at their core. Featuring con-stantly shifting, organic bursts of color, nothing stays in focus for more than a split second. Both the visual companions of the title-track and “In the Middle (I Met You There)” reference the more ephemeral region Dear may be attempting to invade.
Headcage is out now on Ghostly International. Look for a new full-length from Mat-thew Dear later this year.

Sports“Different guys have dif-
ferent personalities,” Wil-liams said. “I k now there are some guys o n o u r team that I can just [say] ‘come on ma n, we can’t af-ford that,’ but anoth-er guy will respond differently to that.
“I kind of learned that from my high school coach. He kind of talked me down a little bit; he handled us
differently. He could yell at me, but he couldn’t yell at cer-tain guys. Certain guys you just encourage them like ‘all right, you can get the next one,’ and there are some guys you just don’t say anything to the first
time because they’re going to cor rec t the mistake themselves.”
Another key role of a leader is to set an ex-a mple of f t he c ou r t because, as an athlete,

the team.“He’s a great leader,” Leslie
said. “He’s a very responsible dude, and he gets along with everybody.
“With him being a senior this year, just having all of those years behind him as being a college player and a college stu-dent, he brings a great amount of responsibility to the team, and he helps other freshmen and the upcoming people.”

ponents.“I always tell our guys, I am
concerned with us and how we play and how hard we play and if we are playing to our poten-tial each night,” Gottfried said. “I thought we had great ener-gy tonight at both ends of the floor. Right now we are doing some things well and hopefully we can continue that.”
Gottfried played a glowing tribute to Brown, who finished the night with 11 assists, nine points and three steals.
“Lorenzo was terrific again,” Gottfried said. “Those are starting to become normal
nights when the guy is getting nine and 12 and 10 assists. He played really well.”
Richard Howell, who had his sixth double-double in the last eight games and ended the night with 16 rebounds, drew praise from Boston College head coach Steve Donahue.
“He’s a big, strong kid and I give him the credit,” Donahue said. “That’s what [rebound-ing] he does well in this league right now. He’s a tough kid. He’s a hard match-up for any-one, particularly for us.
He’s a very good offensive rebounder and a very good defensive rebounder.”

into the weekend.“[Practice] hasn’t really
changed much,” Kornegay-Gober said. “This week I am going to be stretching and heating up a lot to get my muscles loose to jump be-cause my muscles have been tight for few weeks now. I am just going to make sure they are loose and I feel re-ally good.”
Kornegay-Gober said he had clear goals for the sea-son and he was working hard to achieve them.
“I actually do have Olym-
pic dreams,” Kornegay-Gober said. “So if I even get the op-portunity to go to the Olympic trials this year, I will be happy.”
Chris Coleman, assistant coach for jumps, felt his team’s performance last week was both expected and surprising at the same time.
“[Kornegay-Gober] is a re-turner and his jump was some-thing we have been planning for a long while,” Coleman said. “[Malone] was little bit of a surprise, I thought he would jump a high 49 or 50 feet but beating your personal best by 2-feet-8-inches is just unheard of. It was a good performance by everybody.”
Coleman said the team didn’t have a lot of high-intensity
practices in order to stay fresh for the weekend’s meet at Vir-ginia Tech.
“We actually relaxed a bit be-cause we went hard the week before,” Coleman said. “We are relaxing so we can repro-duce the same marks we did last week.”
Coleman also revealed he was fully focused on sending most of his athletes for the NCAA championships at the end of the season.
“I am trying to get as many people as I can to the national championships,” Coleman said. “That’s the goal.”
The Hokie Invitational is a two-day-long meet, beginning Friday at 5 p.m. at Virginia Tech’s Rector Field.

N.C. State beats Boston College to move within one win of last year’s total.
Rishav Dey Deputy Sports Editor
N.C. State defeated Bos-ton College, 76-62, at the RBC Center to increase the tally to two conference wins in a row for the Pack.
The Eagles, (7-11, 2-2 ACC) who were coming into the game on a two-game winning streak, had no an-swer for the Pack (14-5, 3-1 ACC), who dominated the entire game to move within one win of last year’s total.
With sophomore forward C.J. Leslie back in the line up, after not starting the last game due to disciplin-ary issues, State started the game on the back foot with the Eagles opening the scor-ing. However, it was Leslie who opened the scoring for the Pack as State went on an early 10-0 run with the score 15-5 with 14:29 left in the first half.
The Eagles, who had won the last time the two teams met, were not intimidated by a loud Wolfpack crowd, as they tied the ball game at 21 a piece with 8:42 to go in the first. That, however, proved to be the wakeup call the Pack desperately need-ed as they ran through the Eagles, ending the half on a 24-7 run.
Leslie, who shot 100 per-cent from the field for 10 points, ran the show along with junior center Richard Howell and fellow sopho-more guard Lorenzo Brown, who each had nine points.
The second half was no
different, with Howell open-ing the scoring followed by two quick field goals by senior guard C.J. Wil-liams as the Pack stretched their lead t o 2 3 points, their highest of the game.
Junior guard Scott Wood, who led the league in three-
point shooting coming into the game, again showed his
prowess from behind the arc, shooting 4-7 to end the night with a team-leading 16 points.
Wit h t he win a mere formality, head coach Mark Gott-fried brought in the fresh-
man trio of Jaqawn Raymond, Thomas de Thaey and Tyler
Harris, with the latter two end-ing the night with two points and two rebounds each.
Gottfried felt his team’s im-proved performance on defense set the tone for the entire game.
“I liked a lot about how our team played tonight, defensive-ly,” Gottfried said. “I thought our ball pressure was better than it’s been in a while and it disrupted their timing.
“We tried to really disrupt them from getting a lot of clean looks.”
Gottfried felt the team’s posi-tive performance on the break led to success offensively.
“When we had the ball in the break, a lot of good things hap-pened tonight,” Gottfried said. “We found opportunities, a lot of deflections, steals; it really ignited our fast break, which I thought tonight was really big for our team.”
Despite being under pressure to repeat the performance the team put up against Wake For-est last week, Gottfried said he told his team to concentrate on their own performance rather than worrying about their op-
Senior C.J. Williams brings character and intangibles on and off the court.
Jeniece Jamison Deputy Sports Editor
On every team, seniors are usually expected to lead the team and serve as mentors for the younger members. For Wolfpack men’s basket-ball, forward C.J. Williams, the only scholarship senior on the team, is that leader and mentor.
Williams, who averages 12.2 points and 3.9 re-bounds for State, said he believes the knowledge he’s gained over the past four years fits in well with the younger lineup.
“On the court, I have a little more knowledge about the game because I’ve been through so much for four years now,” Williams said. “We’ve got a lot of smart guys on our team, so it kind of fits in.”
Williams’ clout as a leader is also high with first-year head coach Mark Gottfried. According to sophomore forward C.J. Leslie, Wil-liams, along with sopho-more point guard Lorenzo Brown, serves as a coach on the floor.
“I would say it’s both of their jobs,” Leslie said. “He knows that C.J. is older than the rest of us and he’s a very experienced player.”
A key quality for any lead-er is their ability to perform off the court and beyond
the statistics - to do the intan-gibles necessary for any team to
succeed, such as encouraging a teammate or providing rein-forcement to push his team-mates to the next level. Leslie said he believes Williams has done well in that department.
“Whenever he sees a player down he always comes over and tells them to pick it up, or gives
them some advice or just tries to be a great teammate, which
he is,” Leslie said.According to Williams, he
approaches each teammate with a different perspective on what type of reinforcement they will respond to.

Track and field looks to build on strong startJumpers hope to continue winning momentum going into the Hokie Invitational.
Rishav Dey Deputy Sports Editor
Members of N.C. State’s track and field team will be looking to build on their positive start at the Virgin-ia Tech Invitational as they head into Blacksburg, Va. for the Hokie Invitational.
Despite a couple of sec-ond-place finishes in the weight throw event last week, which saw the Pack net three out of the top seven positions i n bot h men’s and women’s catego-ries, it was the jump-ers who stole the show with some impressive individual performances, setting the tone for the rest of the sea-son.
Long jumper and fresh-man Reuben Malone from Lillington, who won the triple jump in his first col-legiate meet last week, felt his success was unexpected.
“It was a big surprise, I was just hoping I could jump as far as I could in high school,” Malone said. “Usually the first meet is
the worst meet of the season because you’ve got to try to get better or whatever. But it was a great experience and one of the best days of my life.”
Malone said he felt he had been working harder before coming to college and that had helped him perform better.
“The biggest change is just the workouts and stuf f,” Malone said. “In high school, I did not work anywhere near as hard as I am now in college. The training is harder, more consistent and I think that’s one of the biggest causes of change [in my performance].”
Three-time All-ACC high jumper ju-n i o r K r i s Kornegay-Gober, who recorded his personal best at last week’s meet, felt it was a clear indication of the direction he was head-ing in.
“I am feeling good; I am get-ting closer to my goal,” Ko-rnegay-Gober said. “My goal is to automatically qualify for the indoor championships, and that’s a 7-foot-4 1/4-inch [jump]. So it’s great to get a new personal best so early this year so that way I can build up.”
Kornegay-Gober said he was going to stick to the basics and looks to build on his perfor-mance from last week going
