“It happens everywhere.”That is the point Sheryl WuDunn,

co-author of “Half the Sky,” made while discussing human trafficking and forced prostitution at this year’s Convocation at the RBC Center.

Approximately 4,500 attended con-vocation, which in-cluded students, the band, cheerleaders and volunteers, ac-cording to Justine Hollingshead, di-rector of the GLBT center and volunteer for this year’s Convo-cation.

The event a lso hosted clubs from the University and a variety of activities for students and orientation counselors was featured on center court.

The Convocation ceremonies fea-tured speakers such as Student Body President Kelly Hook, Interim Provost Warwick Arden and Vice Chancellor

for Student Affairs Thomas Stafford. “Convocation is an introduction to

life here at N.C State,” Arden said in his speech.

WuDunn said she wanted to take the Convocation attendees on a journey, starting in China. Her speech was ac-companied by pictures shown to the crowd as she told stories of different abuse victims.

“I hope ‘Half the Sky’ can be the be-ginning of your intellectual stretch,” WuDunn said.

According to WuDunn, students are an incredible force for bringing about

change.“We have t he

means to save them, it’s not rocket sci-ence; we just don’t have the political will,” WuDunn said.

WuDunn divided her book into two themes: the moral problem of this cen-tury and how to fight poverty and terror-ism.

“The central mor-al problem of this century is the op-pression of women and girls through-out the world,” WuDunn said. “One of the best ways to help fight poverty and terrorism is to educate girls.”

A sleeping sorority member in the Alpha Delta Pi house at 2309 S. Fraternity Court awoke early Sat-urday morning to find an unknown male touching her feet.

According to a Campus Police report, the sus-pect fled after be-ing confronted.

Jon Barnwell, campus police officer, said in-vestigators are following up leads on the suspect.

“We do not know how the man was able to get into the build-ing. All we know is that it was not forced entry,” Barnwell said. “Maybe there was a lock malfunc-tion or the door was unlocked or not completely shut.”

also shared emotional statistics about maternal health.

“In the rest of the world, one woman dies every minute-and-a-half during childbirth,” WuDunn said. “In total, one in seven women die during childbirth.”

According to WuDunn, these issues are mostly happening in other countries, which are a distant thought for people liv-ing in the United States.

“Each individual can help,” WuDunn said. “Every little bit helps.”

Research has shown nothing in life can elevate a person’s lev-el of happiness once they have

their needs met, WuDunn said, except contributing to some-thing bigger than themselves.

“Here is the cause, here’s the movement. Join the move-ment and help feel happier,” WuDunn said in her closing remarks Monday night.

Tom Stafford said he found “Half the Sky” to be an incred-ible book and found WuDunn’s speech interesting.

“[The speech] was really good. First of all, the book is incredible. It’s the kind of book I’m pleased to read because it provides a very powerful and strong indication of the prob-lems in the world,” Stafford said. “I hope students tonight try to take this challenge and try to help address the issue.”

NewsTransportation makes major changes to Wolfine service this fall.

Colin ReedCorrespondent

Wolfline officials will move bus stops, add new routes and make more buses available this fall for student and faculty use.

Changes include the addition of five new buses and several new routes to facilitate student travel, as well as a new location for the Dan Allen Drive stop.

Transportation will add five new buses to the Wolf line’s existing fleet of 30 in response to increasing student demand and crowding on existing bus-es. According to Kim Paylor, transit manager, the new buses will hold about 60 passengers. Although the capacity is the same as the old buses, the new vehicles will allow more room for seating.

Paylor said Transportation budgeted $560,000 for the new buses, a cost it will spread over the next two years as it includes

maintenance and fuel for the buses.

The new buses will run mostly express or long-dis-tance routes due to their re-duced loading efficiency. Old buses have two doors, one used for loading and another for offloading at stops. New buses have o n l y o n e door, making loading and unloading a longer pro-cess. To make the process as ef f icient as possible, Transportation reduced the number of stops these buses will make.

The new buses share the dis-tinctive paint scheme and look of existing Wolfline buses, but have a slightly different config-uration. Instead of perimeter seats, new buses have seats that face forward and a single door near the front.

“You will be able to tell, yes, this a Wolfline bus,” said

Christine Klein, public com-munications specialist with Transportation.

Transportation will also add the new 5a Varsity Express route, which will serve the Varsity Commuter Parking Lot. Klein said the new service

is important because of the volume of new com-muters the Varsity Lot will have to s e r ve now that a parking deck in West Lot is under construction.

“West Lot is our major com-muter parking area,” Klein said.

According to Klein, con-struction on the parking deck will take about a year, and has resulted in the loss of 480 park-ing spots in West Lot, making Varsity the new primary com-muter parking area.

Klein said many students think they can find parking in nearby neighborhoods or

pay lots, but most neighbor-hoods have an enforced two-hour parking limit, and pay lot queues can stretch for long distances and fill up quickly.

“At this point, [Varsity] is your best bet,” Klein said.

Transportation also an-nounced a move for the Wolfline stop located on Dan

Wolfpack Welcome Week to spur ‘sense of connection’

MARISA AKERS/TECHNICIANKiyaniah Tilghman, a sophomore in chemical engineering, Devanne Pena, a senior in environmental design in architecture, and Kandice Ross, a senior in graphic design, dance during the Strolling at RecFest competition on the Lower Miller Fields, Aug. 15.

Wolfpack Welcome Week organizers are hoping a series of events and free food will entice students to get involved on campus.

Joanna BanegasSenior Staff Writer

For the past six years, Wolf-pack Welcome Week has been bringing students together by providing events, free food and involvement opportunities.

Wolfpack Welcome Week started Aug. 11 and will finish this Saturday.

The African American Sym-posium kicked off Wolfpack Welcome Week last Wednesday and on Friday, the University hosted its f i rst His-panic Sym-posium.

The rest of the week consisted of RecFest, Union Activi-ties Board late night Target run and Fresh-men Convocation.

Deb Luckadoo, campus activities director and chair of Wolfpack Welcome Week committee said there are sev-eral signature programs that take place during Wolfpack Welcome Week which help students get involved.

“Hopefully, the sense of connection will help them get involved in an organization or residential hall,” Luckadoo said.

Luckadoo also said the com-mittee has research that shows students feel more connected to the University after Wolfpack Welcome Week.

“The committee’s desired

outcomes were for the students to meet new people, including upper class students who be-come mentors to them and also for the freshmen to have a sense of belonging,” Luckadoo said.

Aug. 18, the first Centen-nial Campus Welcome will t a ke place at Monteit h Resea rch C enter Pla z a . Also on Aug. 18, the Inner Residence Council and In-terfraternity counci l wil l host the “Chillin and Gril-lin” event which will provide free food and music featur-ing the “Psuedo Blue and the Mystics” at Tucker Beach.Andrew Stutts a junior in park recreation and tourism man-agement said that Wolfpack Welcome Week is impor-

tant because students are com i ng out and gathering on c a mpu s . “As a part of my fraternity, we want the new students to feel welcomed at this Uni-versity,” Stutts s a i d . “ T h e more students

we can get involved earlier, the more it will help them get the full experience of college.”

Thursday, UAB’s Black Stu-dent Board will host its Back to School Jam on Harris Field.

Ebonie Williams, a UAB graduate assistant, said every year the Board takes an oppor-tunity to showcase the groups, particularly African Ameri-cans and other student groups.

“We also do performances such as dancing and modeling and a lot of the national Pan-Hellenic associations do step performances,” Williams said. “It’s also a way for students to learn about the resources that are available on campus and

how they can get involved.”Williams said this year the

Black Student Board will be giving out free Chipotle and Jimmy Johns and also doing a school supply drive.

“It’s an annual event with a new spin,” Williams said.

In addition to the free food and shows, Williams said it’s important to keep the tradi-tion, but also just to show the diversity of the campus.

“All students will know that they are welcomed regardless of their ethnicity on this campus,” Williams said. “It’s definitely an opportunity to show a dif-ferent part of our University.” Friday night, UAB will host its

drive on Friday.”The blood-drive, spon-

sored with the American Red Cross, has a goal of 500 pints of blood, according to Michael Giancola, director for CSLEPS.

“In order to meet our goal, we need about 660 people to sign up for appointments,” Giancola said. “This is due to people being turned away because they do not meet

Red Cross requirements to donate blood.”

As of Tuesday afternoon, Giancola said 652 appoint-ments had been made. How-ever, he said he wants everyone to know it’s not meeting the minimum number of appoint-ments..

“The fact is people will make appointments and then not show up,” Giancola said. “We still need people to sign up or walk-in to donate blood. The ideal walk-in time will be be-tween 11:45 a.m. and 1:15 p.m.”

The blood drive is not about

breaking the record, Giancola said, it’s about being a part of the community.

“Giving blood is the simple, easiest way for one person to give the gift of life to another person, Giancola said.

According to Giancola, there are plenty of other blood drives coming up. There is a blood drive August 30, in the Brick-yard and August 31, in Bragaw Residence Hall.

a traffic challenge,” Klein said. “We’ve received various com-plaints over the years.”

In the past, the stop was nec-essary to serve students park-ing in the Dan Allen Deck, but she said demand has started to shift away.

“Dan Allen [Deck] is more of a staff parking deck now,” said Klein.

The stop moved to Founders Drive in front of Nelson Hall. According to Paylor, the new location is ideal because it al-ready has a dedicated bus lane

and is located right in front of the building. She said the shift will not cause any major change in bus routing or stu-dent flow.

Transportation officials are also suggesting students use the Hillsborough Shuttle, which runs a route along Dan Allen and Hillsborough Street. The presence of the Hillsborough Street roundabouts makes the new path possible and is a change from the usual longer routes that tend to circle the entire campus.

“If you can’t get the Wolflink shuttle, the Hillsborough shut-

tle is still a good opt ion,”

Klein said.As for timing and schedule

planning for new students, Klein had some advice.

“Take it upon yourself to go to the website and look at the timetables for specific buses,” she said.

Come the f irst few days of classes, she said students should already have their routes planned out – or they’ll regret it.

“It will be a zoo,” said Klein.

Hello fellow mem-bers of Wolfpack nation. If this is

your fi rst day on campus, welcome to your new home. For those of you return-

ing, it is that time o f y e a r again. A l o t h a s happened this sum-mer that I c ou ld write about, but I am sure that you

are all sick of hearing and reading about BP, Tiger Woods, and Prop 8. I will have plenty of time to com-ment on political issues and current events, but for my fi rst column of the year I wanted to do something a little different.

America is in a strange for place for everyone right now. We have fi nally sur-passed an economic reces-

sion, but those who have been hit the hardest are seeing little to no improvement. Liberals in our country are disgruntled by the fact that nothing seems to be going their way, and they must face the reality that 2010 is an election year. Conserva-tives are siding in two different camps. Tea Party conservatives are seeking radical change with limited government interac-tion, while other conservatives want fi scal responsibility, but must face the reality that Ma-chiavelli was right and there has to be some checks on a free market to ensure that cer-tain individuals do not abuse the system. The polarization of parties seems to be moving farther apart opposed to com-ing closer together. Americans are losing faith in the system because it is now more apparent than ever that polarization has replaced cooperation.

Individuals like you and I are (or at least should be) wor-ried about our futures. The job market does not look promis-ing right now. I am sure many

of you even struggled to fi nd summer jobs, and those of us that were lucky enough to have jobs probably saw a decrease in hours and/or pay. The news and media only seem to bring disheartening news and sling mud over politics and contro-versy. The “land of opportu-nity” seems to be more like the land of false hopes and dreams. I guess it is just time to accept that the world is a nasty place and we should just become numb to the pain. Wrong.

Now is the most appropriate time to realize our potential as human beings. It is time that we become responsible for what we do. I am not sure where people get this false sense of entitlement that the world owes them something. That is just simply not the way the world works. The more time and effort that an individual puts into something, the more they will get from it. We should all be proactive and ambitious, but we also need to do things in responsible and moral ways. What Tiger Woods is doing off

the golf course, and where BP executives are taking vacation just simply are not that im-portant. It is more important to remain focused on what you CAN change. As individuals, you should be focused on how you can improve your life and hopefully others around.

It is not easy to control what others do. I cannot promise you that other individuals will always act morally because it is almost certain that someone will always act inappropriately. I can promise you that if you take the time to evaluate your decisions and make the respon-sible choices — benefi ts will follow. Making the most of our situations is always more ben-efi cial then wishing they were different. No life on this Earth will ever be perfect. Don’t let American anxiety hinder your personal development — take a proactive approach to life.

There is so much to say about what is going on on campus. Everyone

is moving in and going to all the week’s events, and then classes start. But we are also doing a lot at the Technician.

We are making sure we serve all facets of the Univer-sity, from the undergraduate students up to the faculty and the administration.

We are covering campus events and issues. We are representing the countless opinions on campus and fi r-ing up the others we don’t.

We are presenting the work of students who live and breathe their sections while trying to inform the other students who live for the in-formation being presented.

Ultimately, what we do is serve all members of the N.C. State community, whether that is the undergraduate or graduate students, the staff or the faculty.

We print over 10,ooo cop-ies of the paper a day and our content is always available online, so we touch the cam-pus as well as the community that goes beyond it. As mem-bers of this staff, we seek to be aware of this and extend that awareness to the rest of the University.

This year the Technician is working to revitalize our con-tent and improve our cover-age. In the past, we may have fallen short on our promise to give the student body fair, balanced facts and an ample opportunity to express itself through our publication.

This year we want to make sure that doesn’t happen and if it does, we welcome criti-cism and feedback. No mat-ter how large or small the comment or concern, we are always willing to listen and improve, because as we do, we better serve you, the reader.

While the staff decides the content, we always accept any story ideas or issues you deem pressing to the NCSU community. Beyond that, if you have an opinion about any topic related to campus or any column or story we publish, please email us and let us know what you think. Feel free to email them to me at [email protected].

As students, we frequent Facebook and Twitter daily, so the Technician has created accounts on both these web-sites and we invite you to join us. Besides our print and on-line editions, our social me-dia pages will feature extra coverage and interactive op-portunities beyond the your emails and letters.

Life nowadays is about more than just reading. It’s about interaction and being connected to the story. If you’d like to help, our doors

are always open to all stu-dents.

So as the year goes on, re-member we were there be-cause you were there and we are here to serve you. We will be working hard to continue to produce an interesting, relevant paper for you and will strive to maintain a fair and balanced product.

I wish everyone the best of luck this year and, on behalf of the Technician staff, I look forward to serving you all this year.

Sincerely,

Amanda WilkinsEditor-in-Chief, Technician

Uploaders v. subjects

O occasionally on a Sun-day morning, after the parties of Friday and

Saturday, the alcohol mem-ory fuzz is lifted by a reveal-ing picture on the Internet. A

sing le Face-book a lbum can show all of the University that last night your pitcher was slacking and just about everyone made it to your fi rst base. After all, the best Face-

book albums are made from a mixture of alcohol, cameras, and college students.The fi rst reaction most people have when they see a devastat-ing picture on Facebook is an-ger at the person who uploaded the picture. The uploader must be an evil person who is try-ing to hurt the reputation of the people in the picture. He is try-ing to embarrass and humiliate the people who made the poor decisions. Because he must have a swastika on his soul, he has to take the photo dow n on that sheer principle!

I’m tired of this reac-t ion. The stor ies of t h i s s or t keep pass-ing my way, where some girl demands that her picture be taken down from whatever site. Though, perhaps we shouldnít be punishing the people who have taken the picture. Instead, we should let people be responsible for their own actions.

Call me what you will, but I think people are accountable for the long term consequences of their actions. If a girl or guy decides their going to get drunk out of their mind, they should realize by now that people can and will record their escapades. Making out in public with a total stranger around your friends has great potential for a camera phone to be pulled out.

Iím not necessarily saying to stop getting drunk and making out with strangers. Option B is to accept what youíve done by

being proud of the fact you did it. Shrugging off the picture as a victory and not dreading it as a humiliating affair is another way to accept the consequences of the previous nightís actions. When we laugh at ourselves, others laugh with us.

We should argue the point that the uploaders of pictures are in fact owners of digital media. If the picture is taken in a public setting, then I see no reason why the owner canít distribute their media in the way they see fi t. I make the concession that behind closed doors the right to privacy trumps the right of property, but not in public places.

The clash comes squarely be-tween the right of the upload-erís property and the subjectís privacy. Some would say the privacy should be protected because they are victims of the uploaders. On the contrary, the subject of the picture is in complete control of what kinds of pictures can be taken. They choose the actions made and where they take place. Subjects who are against embarrassing

pictures should find a pri-vate place devoid of cameras, change t he i r ac-t ion s , or stop com-plaining to uploaders.

Facebook is just one of the sights that pictures can be up-loaded to. By now we should all understand that if an up-loader wants to distribute a picture, there are enough sights and means of uploading that expecting us to control em-barrassing pictures through uploaders is unreasonable. We need to cut off the pictures at the source. People should just be responsible for their actions.

A decade old, the online message board keeps students in the know about campus and local activities.

Laura WilkinsonFeatures Editor

Armed with pizza and paint, a group of students and alumni set up camp outside the Free Expression Tunnel to kick off the year with marketing for the Wolf Web.

Ken Warner, alumnus and a site leader for The Wolf Web, said a group was organized to paint the tunnel this year due to the event’s success last year. The N.C. State-specific social network includes mes-sage boards, a photo gallery, calendar of events and a book exchange.

“Anything anyone wants to talk about,” Warner said of the type of content featured.

“We’ve got sports talk, we’ve got a place for people to talk about cars and we’ve got people who talk about tech stuff. Chit Chat is probably our biggest section, where people just talk about whatever the heck they want to talk about. We’ve got some new stuff coming out. We’ve got a book exchange and School Tool, where people can find teacher reviews. We’re in the process of revamping that.”

Originally created by a stu-dent in 2000, ownership has changed hands a few times and is now run by alumni.

“We’re just glad it’s back in our hands instead of some stranger in Wisconsin,” War-ner said. “There are enough people on there that it self-reg-ulates. We do have moderators like typical message boards, but for the most part, if people are acting like an idiot other people are going to call them out. If someone really pushes it, we have moderators.”

Welcome Back Pack, hosted by University Dining Tuesday night, gave students an op-portunity to get to know their peers and familiarize them-selves with campus organiza-tions. The event was sponsored by Coca-Cola and featured games, complementary items and a live band.

Jennifer Gilmore, marketing manager for University Dining and the primary organizer of the event, said Welcome Back Pack presents a means for new

and old students to get to know each other.

“College is not like high school where you kind of wait back to eventually get to the top of the heap,” she said. “College students need to get focused now and get out into the com-munity. This event is all about giving students a chance to get to know each other and all the groups on campus.”

“When you start hanging out with people and you get to

know people, it’s kind of like a little community. It’s not internet-ish too much because we know each other and we do things like [painting the tun-nel]. Honestly, now it’s some-thing to do at work and it’s entertainment,” Kinney said.

Thomas Chase, a graduate student in civil engineering, said during his freshman year a senior friend of his showed

him the classifi eds section of the website.

“I picked up a computer, an Xbox and games and every-thing in the classifi eds section before I started posting regu-larly. It’s been a way to keep up with [my friend] because he’s moved to Miami,” Chase said.

Since it has been around for ten years, Chase said it is a good way for alumni to keep in touch with one another and be in-the-know about events at the University.

“That’s why a lot of users are enrolled — they started in 2000 so they don’t really live in Raleigh anymore,” Chase said. “You can also get involved as a student. They put up all the current events on the front page so you can see what’s happen-

ing at N.C. State. It’s a way to keep in touch in an unoffi cial way at N.C. State.” WEB

Brothers launch ‘rebellious’ brewing company

LUIS ZAPATA/TECHNICIANIn the Roth Brewery Tap room, Eric Roth, a senior in agricultural business management, pours one of his pale ales that his bewery made. Roth created a brewery from sctratch with his brother Ryan.

From homebrewing to commercial brewing, the Roth brothers aim to serve the Raleigh area with a unique brand of beer.

Laura WilkinsonFeatures Editor

Ryan and Eric Roth were avid homebrewers before they acted on their long-harbored dream of opening a microbrewery. Their vision was realized with the cre-ation of Roth Brewing company, a Raleigh business that develops and sells the Roth Brothers’ origi-nal beer.

Eric Roth, a senior in agricultur-al business management and co-owner of Roth Brewing Company, said he and his brother had never run a business or had business training when they opened the company. They pressed forward with their goal, however, because enough people were willing to back them that they were confi -dent they could turn dreams into reality.

“We decided we’re young enough to be a little stupid and we just started talking it out, just having fun. What would it take to have a brewery?” Roth said. “This was still when we were dreaming. What would be our dream brew-ery? We didn’t know anything about commercial brewing at the time.”

After being denied a $400,000 loan from the bank for a 30-barrel system, Roth said the two went back to the drawing board to cut down the cost.

“We took a week-end and cut every-thing out of our fi nancial and busi-ness plan that we possibly could. We came back and it turned out we only needed just over $100,000 to start the company and so we took a loan,” Roth said.

Af ter squaring things away with the bank, the broth-ers had to face their parents. Af ter a game of golf and a few beers, the two received their fa-ther’s blessing.

“We just dove in. We loved to home-brew. We love beer. So we fi nally got the idea and just did it,” Eric Roth said. “We were lucky enough to have really supporting fam-ily and really supporting friends. We moved two of our best friends from Virginia and Chicago down here to help us start this business.”

Since they started out as home-brewers, Eric Roth said

the company sti l l holds a homebrew feel.

“Big breweries have big com-mercial systems and they’re all hard piped in. We have inde-pendent vessels, we have one pump, we attach all those hoses together and pump things out one at a time. A lot of commercial brew-eries will have basi-cally a button-board that will open certain valves and switch on hard pipe pumps in and you’re going to push it all around,” Roth said. “It’s defi nitely a step up from what we’re doing but we definitely have a homebrew feeling to our brewing.”

Eric Roth said the com-pany spent a long time coming up with the perfect slogan, but hit a roadblock with their fi rst big idea.

“We actually came up with ‘A Revolution is Brewing’ fi rst, but it turns out that is

Port City Java’s slogan. If you look at the menu, right by the website it says ‘A Revolution is Brewing,’ in the smallest font. We had Googled it and sent it in and asked as many people as we could and they all said nobody had taken it,” Roth said. “One day during class I rolled into Nelson and got myself a cof-fee with a shirt for Roth Brewing Company that said ‘A Revolution is Brewing’ and they were like, ‘hey! That’s our slogan!’ and I was like, ‘you’ve got to be kidding me.’”

Eventually the company decided on “rebellious brewing” for their slogan, which N.C. State alumnus Ryan Roth said is a common term throughout many craft breweries.

“ M o s t c r a f t breweries say ‘this is rebel-lious brewing; we’re different than main-stream brew-eries.’ It’s like that all across the industry. We ’r e j u s t some 20-some-thing-year-old kids and we’re not tied down to styles,” Roth said. “We can’t say that we personally are the rebel-lion, we’re just trying to say the industry as a whole is morphing into ‘this is more of your local breweries, this more of your local taprooms.’ All these businesses around here come here. This is sort of their local bar. It’s actu-ally going back to traditional style brewing where each town has one brewery or two breweries.”

There are currently three avail-able beers the company markets, with two more still in the working stages.

“If you’re going to make the drive,

you should be getting beers that you can’t get anywhere else . We’re work ing on our darker beers r ight

now. We make the only barley-

wine that’s year-round in North

Carol ina. It ’s the highest alcohol beer made

in the Triangle by any of the local breweries,” Eric Roth said.

This particular beer, Foeham-mer, is a pretty ambitious endeav-or, according to Eric Roth.

“They are diffi cult beers to brew and there’s a lot of things you can do to mess them up, especially try-ing to hit your right sugar content to get to be 10.5 percent. It’s very diffi cult to do and you can mess up

a lot trying to adjust those gravi-ties,” Roth said.

Forgotten Hollow, a cinnamon porter, recently received label ap-proval.

“It’s a big, sweet porter with lots of cinnamon in it. It was originally going to be a winter seasonal be-cause it is very wintertime. How-ever, we’ve gotten a lot of good response about it,” Eric Roth said.

Raleigh Red, their American Amber Ale, is on tap at Mitch’s Tavern on Hillsborough Street.

“We know those people pretty well. When we were originally ap-plying for our loan at Capital Bank we wanted to come in with market credibility, so we went out to local bars that we wanted to be in, that were staples of the N.C. State com-munity,” Eric Roth said. “We went in and gave them some homebrew, to see what they thought and then asked them what we called a memo of understanding. It didn’t legally bind them to do anything for us, but it basically said our beer was commercially marketable.”

LUIS ZAPATA/TECHNICIANLooking in the mash tun, Ryan Roth, alumnus, (above) explains how the machinery works. Roth said he didn’t realize how useful his engineering degree could be before he started brewing beer.

LUIS ZAPATA/TECHNICIANEric Roth, a senior in agricultural business managment talks about the beer he and his brother developed in a small factory in Raleigh, NC. The brothers just had the unvieling of their third public beer in Woody’s Aug. 11. “We don’t really have any plans to move outside of Raleigh. There are 400 bars within Highway 440 and right now we can supply six bars with beer,” Roth said.

groups as the campus colleges, ultimate frisbee and the rodeo club. Entertainment included MotorMouth Mike, a disc jock-ey, and live music by Junior and Lisa Palleschi.

“The Student Organiza-tion Resource Center did all the campus recruitment and we had a great showing from Coke, a great campus partner,” Gilmore said. “There are a sig-nificant amount of freshmen attending and it’s important for them to become part of the campus community early.”

Ethan Bartlett, a junior in economics and one of the so-licitors at the Student Govern-ment table, said Welcome Back Pack is a good demonstration of how the University provides for its students.

“It’s a great environment to meet new people, especially for freshmen. It shows the University cares about them and spends the time and money to cater just to them,” Bartlett said. “It’s also a good recruit-ing tool.”

Bartlett said the event pro-vides a way for student organi-zations to get out information and reach students, although the involvement of the students determines the success of the night.

Director of Dining Services Randy Lait said the event is meant to make students feel more at home with the N.C. State family.

“We want to create a welcom-ing atmosphere for incoming students and have them meet each other, socialize and learn about student involvement opportunities,” Lait said. “We have a really good turnout. It’s

really important at the first of the semester to get people to-gether and have them feel like part of the community.”

Richard Wachowiak and Aaron Purkaple, both fresh-men in nuclear engineering, both said the event was a lot of fun and affords students an opportunity to interact with each other.

“I enjoyed being with a big group and I got to meet new people,” Wachowiak said. “I went up to a booth but didn’t sign up for much.”

Purkaple said campus orga-nizations were really persis-tent in trying to solicit student involvement and sometimes wouldn’t even give away their stuff until you signed up.

Natalie Bunch, a senior in landscape architecture and one of the solicitors at the Inter-var-sity Christian Fellowship table, said it was good to see freshmen

interested in the campus com-munity and getting involved.

“It’s mostly freshmen here. We’re interested in talking to students, freshmen in particu-lar, and encouraging people to come to events,” Bunch said. “People are becoming more invested in their future and acquiring knowledge. Apathy is a big deterrent, but I’m not seeing it here. Welcome Back Pack is well received.”

Jordan Jones, a freshman in the First Year College, said Welcome Back Pack really shows the University and cam-pus organizations are trying to reach out to students, as rep-resentatives at each table will actively approach students.

“You can tell a lot of effort was put into the event,” she said.

kimberley rochester/technicianThe Eta Omicron Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha perform at the Welcome Back, Pack event at the West Campus Amphitheatre Tuesday, Aug. 17. “There were about ten of us on stage stepping,” said Kornelius Bascombe, a junior in criminology. “We”ve won every step show on campus since about 1980.”

While there are sev-eral other local breweries around Raleigh that Roth Brewing Company com-petes with, Eric Roth said they are all very helpful and willing to answer questions about brewing the brothers may have.

“We love the other brew-eries. We’re actually really good friends with a lot of them — most of them ac-tually. The industry is so small; it’s such a communi-ty,” Eric Roth said. “When we run out of an ingredient — we ran over to Big Boss the other day and bought a bag of barley. There’ll be something weird, and we’ll call another brewery and they’ll tell us what to do.”

“They have so much more experience than we do. They don’t mind telling us how to do things and we don’t mind asking,” Ryan Roth added.

“We aren’t really in a position to help anybody, but we will be and if they really needed something we would help them,” Eric Roth said. “We’re itty-bitty right now, but I’m glad we’re on this system right now.”

self up to recruitment, some-thing he had not done since his junior and senior years in high school.

“A lot of schools came out to Northeastern and I basically tested the waters,” Akinniyi said. “And N. C. State looked like the best option, in terms of both school and oppor-tunity.”

Fellow transfer and senior defen-sive end Mi-chael Lemon understands what Akin-niyi is go-ing through during his f i r s t ye a r with a new team. The former Georgia Bulldog just finished his first year with the Pack and said once Akinniyi gets adjusted to the flow of how the Pack oper-ates, the game will slow down for the senior and he will be able to show off his talent.

“We both came from differ-ent places and it’s tough,” Lem-on said. “But the main goal is trying to get adjusted and try-ing to get used to everything and he has done a pretty good job at doing it. Things move kind of fast when you first get here, but the longer you are here, the slower it becomes.”

Akinniyi’s arrival on campus could not come at a better time this season, as the defensive end’s experience playing col-lege football will help usher in

a new era on the defensive line. His experience will be welcome on unit that is not returning a single starter from last year and attempting to help improve a defense that gave up 31.2 points per game a year ago.

“We are hoping to just do our best,” Akinniyi said. “We are all competing and trying to make everyone better and help the team win this year.”

Coach Tom O’Brien ad-m it s t h at Akinniyi has looked lost at some times early on dur ing practice, but said he be-lieves in the senior’s skill set and abil-ity to help the team out this year.

“ H e i s learning,” O’Brien said. “His head is swimming and there is a lot thrown at him. Every-day something new goes in, so there is a learning curve that he has to catch up with. But he has talent. He certainly looks like he is going to be a skilled enough player to help us down the road.”

Since enrolling at State in the spring semester, Akinniyi is continuing to adjust to not only the higher level of play, moving from Football Championship Subdivision to the ACC, but to adjusting to the weather, which is much hotter and more hu-mid than what he experienced playing up north.

“It is a lot more competitive and hot here compared to the Boston area,” Akinniyi said.

2009 NCAA Champ Matt Hill leaves Pack, begins pro golf career

2009 NCAA Champion Matt Hill announced in May that his third season with the Pack would be his last. A year after tying Tiger Woods’ NCAA record for the most victories in a season, with eight, Hill never quite replicated the success of his sophomore season as a junior. Al-though the achievements of his junior year paled in comparison to his accomplishments as a sophomore, his junior season was by no means a failure. Hill took home first place at the Hootie at Bulls Bay Champion-ship in South Carolina. That victory gave him a Wolfpack record of 10 career wins, and Hill went on to record three other Top 10 finishes in 2010, including a third place finish at the ACC Championship.

Pack players lead summer league squad to Coastal Plain League titleBehind strong play from Wolfpack sophomore catcher Danny Canela, junior third baseman Andrew Ciencin and sophomore Tarran Senay, the Forest City Owls won their second Coastal Plain League championship in a row. In addition to Senay, Canela and Ciencin, sophomore pitcher Chris Overman also represented the Pack on the Owls championship winning 2010 squad. Senay capped off a big postseason during which he led the team with three homers and eight RBI by driving in four runs in the opening game of the championship series. In Ciencin’s second year with the Owls, he hit one home run and drove in four RBI in postseason play. Canela posted a playoff batting average of .261 and Overman rounded out the group’s contribution by making two appearances on the mound.

Trio of pass catchers named to watch listsWide receivers Owen Spencer and Jarvis Williams have been named to the preseason watch list for the 2010 Biletnikoff Award, which is given annually to the nation’s best receiver. Only two other schools in the nation – Houston and Boise State - have multiple players on the list. Tight end George Bryan also recently added to his list of preseason accolades when his name appeared on the watch list for the 2010 John Mackey Award. A year after earning first-team all conference honors, Bryan is the Pack’s lone name on the 2010 All-ACC Preseason Football Team.

Defense records four picks in situational scrimmage

Coach Tom O’Brien did not release individual stats after Tuesday’s scrimmage, but based on team statistics, the defense seemed to have the up-per hand. The offense handed the ball off 36 times and gained 122 yards for an average of 3.4 yards per carry and connected on 11 of 29 pass attempts for 88 yards and one touchdown. On the other side of the ball, the Pack’s defense tallied four interceptions, four sacks and eight tackles behind the line of scrimmage.

The Hus-kies had a subpar 3-8 season, but had just won their final game of the sea-son against the University of Rhode Island and Akinniyi was one of the many players who believed they had a chance to greatly improve the next season.

However, just a day after the foot-ball team’s season finale, North-eastern Athletic Director Peter Roby informed Akinniyi and his teammates that football was being dropped from the school’s athletics programs, eliminating the chance for the senior to play his final sea-son in Boston. Upon hearing this, Akinniyi said he remembers feeling a sense of bewilderment and lack of understanding.

“I was really shocked,” Akinniyi

said. “I didn’t know what was going to happen and what my options were. I was just really confused and didn’t know whether I was going to have to sit out a year or the rules.”

After the shock wore off and the dust settled, the senior found out that because the football program was dropped, he was not required to sit out a year in order to transfer and was free to choose any school to go play for. Upon learning this, Akinniyi reopened him-
