Raleigh, North Carolina TECHNICIAN mb A contest for undergraduates in CHASS offers a chance for students to trade places with the dean for a day Adair-Hayes Crane Staff Writer A student from the College of Hu- manities and Social Sciences will have the chance to be the dean for the day, on Jan. 28. CHASS is holding a contest for all undergraduate students in the de- partment to have the chance to ex- change places with Jeff Braden, dean of CHASS. Braden came up with the idea while reminiscing with colleagues over an old television show called “Queen for a Day.” Braden jokingly suggested that the college should do “Dean for a Day,” and the idea began to develop. Eventually, CHASS decided to turn Braden’s idea into a reality. CHASS sent an e-mail to all under- graduate students in the college de- scribing the contest and how to win the chance to be dean for a day. According to Braden, students must be an undergraduate CHASS major, be available from 5 p.m. Jan. 27 until 5 p.m. Jan. 28 and must submit no more than 100 words explaining why they would be a good candidate to be the dean for a day and why their day would be interesting to Braden. According to Braden, the contest is not just for fun. He already has a pretty full calendar of events for the student that will take his place. Some of those events include representing CHASS at the Dean’s Council, a meeting that involves the deans from all the University’s colleges. The chosen student will also meet with Braden’s advisory board chairman, he said. “It is a full 24 hours of work with real things to do and real deci- sions,” Braden said According to Lauren Kirkpat- rick, director of communication, CHASS student ambassadors will jury the applications and ultimate- ly decide on a student after the Nov. 24 deadline. Students apply- Student Government looks to interact, students uninterested Nick Tran Staff Writer Student Government has partnered with the athletic commission to hold Howl Out Hang Out in the Brickyard through Thursday to promote aware- ness of various campus groups and al- low students to register for Campout. Besides registration, the purpose of SG’s presence on the Brickyard is also to collect feedback from students and allow students to interact with mem- bers of SG. The booth housed a couch where students could sit and hold dia- logues with student leaders. Student Senate President Kelli Rog- ers said SG’s presence at the event is an attempt to remain in contact with students and listen to the issues they have. “We are informing people on Cam- pout,” she said, “but we also want to see what students are interested in and how SG can help. We need feedback.” “We want to set it up as an open en- vironment, like an open forum, where students can freely interact [with SG]. It’s important for [SG] to be out there with students even when they don’t need a vote,” Rogers said. Despite this opportunity, few stu- dents stopped to converse with SG representatives, which Sen. Kyle O’Donnell said was likely due to classes and the weather. “If students have any comments or concerns about the University and how we can do better, we are open for dialogue,” O’Donnell said. “But we’ve received a generally apathetic response from students.” Abby Cranford, a junior in interna- tional studies, said it wasn’t apparent what SG’s purpose was and she had no idea what was going on. “It’s like they’re just hanging out playing corn hole,” Cranford said. “It’s good for the Campout, but the reaching out part doesn’t seem to be going that well.” Ellis Kieffer, a sophomore in me- chanical engineering, also said he only received the Campout registra- tion portion of SG’s effort. “It’s cool they’re coming out to get people excited about Campout,” he said. “They didn’t really talk to me about much else. Reaching out doesn’t seem like the main purpose.” “Still, it is cool that you can talk to them and that they’re making them- selves available,” Kieffer said. Sen. Sam Daughtry was approach- ing students in the Brickyard and said he felt he was getting a lot of positive feedback from students. “Students gave me a lot of ideas and talked to me about issues like trans- portation, Atrium construction and campus organizations,” Daughtry said. “Our job here is to educate, and even if students don’t show up, it’s a success that we’re here.” Caroline Meddock, a junior in his- tory education, said she didn’t even realize it was SG. “When I talked to them they focused a lot on the game and talked about changes in procedures this year,” she said. “I thought it was specifically about Campout. I didn’t know about the couch or open invite. The couch was kind of vague.” “In light of everything that’s hap- pened in the past few months, SG is probably trying to be more proactive. People right now have a bad taste in their mouths,” Meddock said. Jim Ceresnak, student body presi- dent, said SG’s presence was to in- crease visibility for the students, something SG was working towards during and after Rally for Talley. “We want to inform students about things going on,” Ceresnak said. “I’m expecting a positive response. We got lots of response during Homecoming and this is a chance for SG to give back and interact with students.” N.C.

Student Government has partnered with the athletic commission to hold Howl Out Hang Out in the Brickyard through Thursday to promote aware-ness of various campus groups and al-low students to register for Campout.

N.C. State chapter to host fundraiser and ceremony to honor veterans

The Student Veterans of America will host a fundraiser followed by a ceremony to honor veterans tonight.
Andrew Hall, president of the Stu-dent Veterans of America, said the doughnut sale will take place between 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Brick-yard and outside the Free Expression Tunnel, regardless of weather.
“We will be raising money to send care packages to the North Carolina National Guard unit who will be de-ployed over Christmas,” Hall said. “They are going to be gone this Christ-mas and it sucks to be over there alone without your family.”

As part of the Think Outside the Brick Competition, the Student Gov-ernment Sustainability Commission is accepting proposals on ways to make campus a more sustainable place to live, work and study.
According to Jason Smith, a junior in business administration and the project director of Think Outside the Brick, the competition is looking for simple ideas that can be started on a limited budget, but can still make a
huge impact.“We want to find an idea, put it into
action and see it through to fruition,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity for students to make their mark on cam-pus.”

World & nationObama pays tribute to Fort Hood victims
President Barack obama, speaking Tuesday at a memorial service for the Fort Hood shootings, called the massacre painful and incomprehensible, the more so because of where it occurred.
“This is a time of war. And yet these Americans did not die on a foreign field of battle,” obama told more than 15,000 soldiers and others gathered Tuesday afternoon at the nation’s largest military installation, five days after the worst act of violence on an American base. “Here, at Fort Hood, we pay tribute to 13 men and women who were not able to escape the horror of war, even in the comfort of home.”

dick and will just be a Veterans Day ceremony,” Hall said. “I am going to speak on being a student veteran and Dr. Staf-ford and Grier Martin, who are both veterans, will speak.”
Jason Lindsay, founder and adviser for the Student Veter-ans Association, said the event will be informative and impor-tant for students to attend.
“It is going to be an event where you will understand the history behind veterans and what veteran actually stands for,” Lindsay said. “It is a good
opportunity for people to come out and remember the sacrific-es that people have made who have served.”
According to Hall, the cer-emony will be an excellent opportunity to publicize the organization and the existence of student veterans on campus.
“One of the reasons we want to do this ceremony is it allows us to publicize veterans today and to show that there are stu-dent veterans on campus,” Hall said.
Gathering a group of student veterans is a challenge, Hall said, because of their diversity.
“It is easy to organize a group of journalism students or a group of engineers because
you see them everyday and they have classes everyday, but vet-erans are all unique,” Hall said. “From different skin colors, all different sizes, all different majors, there are just not defin-ing features. It is hard to pass someone on the street and say ‘Hey, you are a veteran.’”
Lindsay said the ceremony will highlight the specif ic group of students.
“I think it is going to be a great event for everyone who can attend, especially with the amount of students that are coming back from Iraq with the new G.I. bill,” Lindsay said. “It will be enlightening for everyone to see how many student veterans there are.”
ing to the contest should have at least two classes on their schedule the day of Jan. 28.
“This was the dean’s idea,” Kirkpatrick said. “He’s very committed to staying in touch with students’ experiences and students’ perspectives.”
Krista Spreitzer, a senior in public relations, said she is ex-cited for the contest and con-sidering applying.
“It’s a really good way for students and faculty to collabo-rate, for the dean to see the im-portant issues of the students in CHASS and for the students to
see the important issues of the dean,” Spreitzer said.
Spreitzer is not the only one excited about a student be-coming the dean for the day. Braden said he is also looking forward to trading places with a student.
Braden, who is also a psychol-ogy professor, said he is look-ing forward to taking classes outside of psychology. He also joked that, if he does end up taking some psychology classes as part of the role switching, he hopes he does well in them.
“One of the things I really looked forward to is being able to take classes outside of my own area,” Braden said.
According to the e-mail sent
to CHASS students, Braden will be eating lunch with the chosen student’s friends and going to all of their classes. It will be a full 24 hours of trad-ing roles, in which the student will have to work hard to make decisions that the dean would make and the dean will attend all of the student’s classes.
Braden said he is excited to see what it is like to be a student at N.C. State because he has never attended the University as a student.
“It’s a way for me to under-stand what students experi-ence and it gives me a chance to show students what admin-istrative responsibilities are like at N.C. State,” Braden said.
ey the commission already has, Smith said.
“We will be using money we already have to invest in a student idea,” he said. “The money is the students’ money, so the more money that touches the students, the better.”
According to Smith, Think Outside the Brick is a standardized process to cre-ate the next farmers market or Pack Pulse-type project.
“We are asking students how we can make the cam-pus community better, and we are willing to use our full resources to implement the idea,” Smith said.
This competition is about defining what sustainability is, and figuring out how to achieve it, Smith said.
“Sustainability takes on individual definitions, [the students] need to tell us how to achieve their individual goals,” he said.
“Students are aware that there are a lot of opportuni-
ties to innovate and imple-ment sustainability, we just want to provide an avenue to making good ideas a reality,” Jim Ceresnak, student body president, said.
According to Purcell, sus-tainability is a big issue that needs to be addressed, and students will take advantage of the opportu-nity to make a difference.
“[Sustain-a b i l i t y] i s important for students to focus on because we only get one planet earth, and we need to protect it for future genera-tions,” she said. “Students will definitely participate in mak-ing this campus a better place.”
Smith and Ceresnak agree this competition is important to the future of the University.
“Sustainable technologies are the future of innovation, like energy, and looking at how we can use it more efficiently is something that is important to N.C. State,” Ceresnak said.
“Here, we are leaders in tech-nology, and in turn, sustain-ability.”
“[The project] relies on where you are now, and where the in-stitution will be in the future,” Smith said. “It is about how we are contributing as students to benefit this campus in the fu-ture.”
According to Ceresnak, t h e c o m -mission will hope to make Think Outside the Brick an an-nual compe-tition.
“It will be-come a yearly
project because there are so many people with great ideas,” he said. “It inspires creativity and deep thinking about mak-ing campus more sustainable.”
“It’s a win, win project,” Smith said. “It is good for the University, it is good for stu-dents and it is good for educa-tion.”

Rally4Talley Web page redirectsWeb site viewers taken to Student Enterprise page
Caroline BarfieldStaff Writer
After being in hiatus for sev-eral days, the Rally4Talley Web site no longer exists.
Instead, when Internet users type Rally4Talley.com, they are redirected to the Student Center Renovation and Ex-pansion page within Campus Enterprises.
“Campus Enterprises is a division that was created last spring within Finance and Business. One of Campus Enterprises’ responsibilities is to manage the student cen-ter renovation and expansion project,” Marycobb Randall, a sophomore in finance and student centers president, said.
She also said that this site will be the main inquiry site for the project.
“As you can see from the Web site, this page will serve as a source of information for all aspects of the project. Assum-ing that the project progresses, this page will exist throughout the entire planning and con-struction process,” she said.
Earlier this week, the Ral-ly4Talley Web site was down, causing students like Joseph Briscar, a junior in film studies, to question about the credibil-ity of student organizations be-
hind the campaign that prom-ised to keep students informed through the site.
“The whole Talley situation seems a bit fishy. It seems that we’re not being told everything we should know,” Briscar said. “I have no issues with the or-ganizations yet. This is the first time I’ve been concerned with their credibility.”
According to Randall that students can expect to see live images of the construction tak-ing place.
“Things t h a t y o u might see in t he f ut u re a re a l ive Web cam of construc-tion, photos from within the building during con-struction, project timeline, a place to submit feedback and ideas and a general FAQ page,” Randall said.
In addition, she said all of the content from the original Rally website has been stored so that it can be later uploaded to the Campus Enterprises Web page.
“Transitioning the page to Campus Enterprises will allow for the unit’s staff to manage the page and keep it updated as student leadership changes over the upcoming years, but the project continues,” she said.
Furthermore, Randall said that the Web site had to be shut down so that they could redirect, and now was the best time for the change.
“It made sense to transition the Web page at this time. Leading up to the referenda, we were directing as many students to the page as possible in hopes that they would learn about the project,” she said. “In the near future we will be ask-ing students for specific feed-
back about the project. Both of these periods re-quire a web-site to be fully functional and compre-hensive, due to the high frequency of visitors to
the site.”Though Randall said there
were issues, she said everything is going as planned now.
“At this time, we are not ex-periencing an influx of “hits” on the site. While the transi-tion did encounter a few road bumps, the redirect is now working. This Web site will be continually built upon to keep pace with the progression of the project. It should contain whatever content that students might be seeking very soon,” she said.

The yearly campout for basketball tickets to the UNC-Chapel Hill game
is an honored tradition at the University. Students brave the elements on a cold winter night with their peers, and fel-low fans, for a chance to see the Wolfpack face off against our rivals in Chapel Hill.
The Student Government run event is fun for students and is a quintessential element on the calendars of Pack fans.
This year, Student Govern-ment has decided to hold the event Jan. 9 — two days be-fore classes start back from winter break. The dorms on campus reopen Jan. 8, but the date seems precarious none-theless. Will students really be
back from break yet, or will many students choose to stay at home the extra couple days and take their chances with the 20 percent of tickets available through the regular lottery?
The timing for this year’s home game against the Tar Heels creates some logistical is-sues for Student Government. Moving the event forward one week would move it onto Mar-tin Luther King Jr. weekend, which would cost SG thou-sands in extra staffing costs due to overtime pay. If the event were held the weekend before the game, which is Jan. 26, SG would not have enough time
to manually enter the student IDs of students to award them their tickets.
Despite the logistical issues the game date presents, stu-dents were not particularly enthused about holding the campout Jan. 9. In an exit poll to the Student Government fee referenda, 49 percent of stu-dents said they would not want the event to be held Jan. 9.
Almost half the students who voted indicated through their votes that the time was incon-venient for them.
Student Government’s de-cision to move the campout back to Reynolds Coliseum is
a great decision that evokes the event’s tradition. It should also be commended for working together with the Union Ac-tivities Board to create events for students that will maximize the recreational elements dur-ing the late night downtime.
Nonetheless, this is a storied tradition that should be conve-nient as possible for students. Perhaps the campout should have been held at the end of this semester to facilitate stu-dent attendance or some other creative alternative. But the scheduled date doesn’t work for many students who won’t have returned from winter break — it needs to be recon-sidered.
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.
Reconsider campout dateThe FacTs:The campout for tickets to the home basketball game against UNC-Chapel Hill is scheduled to take place two days before the start of the spring semester, Jan. 9. A poll conducted by Student Government indicated that almost half of students do not prefer that time.
Our OpiniOn:Student Government has made some good changes to the campout this year, such as moving the event back to Reynolds Coliseum. But the event is not on a convenient date for many students and must be reassessed.

Too much of a good thing
It’s pretty easy to see the truth behind the adage about having too much of
a good thing. Eat too much good food and you risk getting dia-betes, heart d isease or a ny nu m-ber of obe-sity-related health prob-lems. Sleep too much and you fail class by the simple fact
that sleeping through your exams is a bad thing. And we all know what happens if you drink too much.
Similarly, there is the prob-lem of too much political cor-rectness in public discourse, and it hurts any effort to ac-tually combat stereotypes. Yes, we want to be polite, respectful and decent when we say things to a recorder or write something for public consumption. Yet focusing on being politically correct sometimes detracts from trying to address the events and history that inspired the need for politically correct language.
Consider the angry re-sponses in the Nov. 3 Techni-cian to the cartoon before the football game against Florida State: the letters mentioned the symbolism behind the imagery in the cartoon of Mr. Wuf kicking the Florida State mascot — a Seminole.
For starters, we sadly lost
the game, so the image is moot (and wolves do not kick people — wolves bite people). But to argue that this cartoon rep-resents any sort of attempt to create a negative stereotype is a bizarre stretch of reality. By no means am I saying I think the argument is invalid — it is sim-ply a step backwards instead of forward.
We do little to fight stereo-types by attempting to eradi-cate any neg-ative symbols connected with those associated w it h com-mon m i s -conceptions. We ’re not going to erase the greed of American expansion and the gross mistreatment of American Indians in years following the illicit seizure of their lands by calling a car-toon wolf kicking an opposing team’s mascot something that “propagates the continual deg-radation of groups.” We will not erase centuries of slavery, decades of segregation and the continuing wage and inequal-ity gap for black people by con-stantly arguing over who can use the n-word.
We erase stereotypes with substantive actions to improve educational and socioeco-nomic equality, thus providing those who are likely to cling to such stereotypes a wider lens through which to view society.
We combat the degradation of any group by letting our current deeds atone for the past words we used in igno-rance or misunderstanding.
But when we build moun-tains out of molehills with a cartoon about an athletic event, we do little to convince those who embrace negative stereotypes about the cor-rectness of language and the historical connotations be-
hind nega-tive images. And the last t h i n g o n most sports fans’ minds is political correct-ness and the p owe r o f stereotypi-cal images. I can tell you what I usu-a l ly think
of as a sports fan: if my team doesn’t win, I will yell loud obscenities and other politi-cally incorrect statements at the other team (or my team, if they managed to screw up), go home, have a few beers and hope to win the next game.
And of course, let us con-sider the obvious: as Sigmund Freud once said, “sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.” Like-wise, sometimes a cartoon is just a visual way of saying “let’s go team.”

Transportation needs additional considerationin regards to the article in Technician on “Forget Parking — improve transit.” transportation is a huge issue at N.C. State. i find it very hard to believe that most students live three miles from campus (University Woods, University Village, Campus Crossing and Campus Edge). these locations simply cannot have a Wolfline bus run regular school hours for transit to and from campus. i was talking to the manager of the Preiss Company, which lets three of the above apartment buildings, and in all there are 3,000 or more students that could use a ride to class from those locations. instead, they are granted the Capital Area transit bus.
the CAt runs from downtown Raleigh at 7 a.m. and makes it almost impossible to be on time to any class during rush hours. there is a Wolfline bus running students from campus to downtown on certain nights, but most freshmen live on campus, and really don’t go downtown anyway. So i suggest that instead of worrying about how students are going to get downtown on the weekends, lets worry about getting the students that live down Lineberry, thistledown, tryon and trailwood to campus for class.

Keep an eye on Kappa AlphaFirst and foremost, i want to thank Ms. Gooding for opening the dialogue for an intelligent conversation about our organization. the points she addressed are both valid and well put, and i appreciate her tact and approach.
it is true that some of our brothers have lost their way at other schools, resulting in some embarrassing and, dare i say, condemnable actions. As you mentioned, online searches will yield questionable results about kappa Alpha. However, those actions are not in line with our ideals and aims, and are not tolerated by the organization as a whole. in fact, most of those organizations have had their charters revoked or have been punished by our national headquarters for their acts of buffoonery.
i can assure you that these events and happenings have absolutely no place in the provisional N.C. State chapter, and will never be tolerated by
the men of kA on this campus. As of today, we have 25 men committed to the ideals of excellence and chivalry that have been the driving force for gentlemen for nearly 1,000 years. our membership, comprised of military veterans, junior statesmen, campus leaders and athletes, among many other accolades, takes very serious pride in doing everything it can to maintain the traditions of striving to improve our own lives and the lives of those around us every day. the common bond that brings us together is not racism or sexism, but rather being as hospitable and engaged with the community as possible.
i would like to urge everyone to keep an eye on kappa Alpha; we intend on immediately making an impact on the campus around us and doing everything we can to make our community a better place to live. our men are committed to the ideals of excellence and hospitality that have driven great men for centuries, and i hope that with time, scrutiny about our organization will develop into respect and admiration for the causes and traditions that we hold dear as the driving force of living purpose driven lives.

A vegan lifestyle is potentially beneficialit is wonderful to see that N.C. State students are actively promoting a compassionate vegan lifestyle on campus. With more and more people becoming educated about the ways that animals suffer when raised and killed for food, there is an increasing demand for delicious and cruelty-free meals. in fact, a recent study by Aramark, a leading food-service provider, concluded that nearly a quarter of college students are actively seeking out vegan options when they sit down to eat, for reasons ranging from their own health to environmental concerns — and of course, because of cruelty to animals.
Students are understandably horrified when they discover that chickens on factory farms often have their beaks cut off with blades or that many cows and pigs are skinned and dismembered while they’re still conscious. if these kinds of abuses were inflicted upon cats or dogs, it could result in felony cruelty-to-animal charges.
thankfully, delicious dishes, such as those being distributed at the students’ event, are widely available. With grocery stores carrying a variety of meat-free products, including veggie barbecue riblets and vegan pizza, it’s never been easier to cut cruelty out of your diet for good.

Get to know your student veteran
Jane MoonCampus and Capital Editor
Brent Cochrane, a junior in com-munication, has a little more than three years of college under his belt.
He has already served his country in the Army for nine years.
“I joined for col-lege money and also to be patriot-ic,” Cochrane said.
Besides being able to express his
love for America, being in the Army gave him the opportunity to explore new interests of his, such as trav-eling.
“My favorite part of being in the Army was being able to travel abroad, having the op-por t u n it y to go to Bulgaria, Germany, Italy, and Iraq. I love traveling,” Co-chrane said.
And as much as he enjoyed trav-eling, whenever he was overseas he longed to be with the ones he love, especially his wife.
“I was deployed January 2005 to June 2006. I got married right after I came back and we just started dat-ing before I left. We basically dated through letters,” Cochrane said.
Cochrane said he appreciates when people are grateful for his military service and the sacrifices he had to make.
“When people find out I was in the Army, they usually say thanks for your service,” Cochrane said.
Cochrane also said he feels a connection to other veterans be-cause they were in the same situ-ations and share some of the same experiences with them.
“It’s obviously a conversation starter. It’s like going to the same high school. Even if we didn’t know each other, we find out each other’s experiences and that we went to the same places, such as Iraq,” Cochrane said.
Though Cochrane said he would not be able to participate in any
Vetera n’s Day festivities due to work, he said he encourages others to take a moment to recognize those who sacrificed or were willing to sacrifice their lives for our country.
“It’s important to appreciate the sacrifice soldiers
make in day to day life … I was talking to my brother-in-law the other day, and it’s good that other people recognize what Veteran’s Day means, especially little kids. I know some of them have Veteran’s Day off. I hope some of them real-ize what the day off of school is for,” Cochrane said.

Vegan food options abundant in Raleigh
campus & capiTal
Restaurants, grocery stores have vegan options
Edward MarkusStaff Writer
Vegans are those who seek to exclude the use of animals for food, clothing or any other purpose. According to CNN, about .2 percent of Americans are vegan. In order to main-tain a healthy diet, vegans must consume a wide variety of fruits and vegetables that often form their staple foods. Fortunately, there are a number of places in Raleigh that offer vegan goods.
One of the best places for vegans to find fresh produce is at farmers markets. Shop-ping at farmers markets al-lows vegans to maintain their diets while supporting local farmers. The Raleigh Farmers Market is located right next to Centennial Campus off of Cen-tennial Parkway. The market is open every day during business hours and offers more than 300 different items. Examples of seasonal products offered at the market include apples, blueber-ries, peanuts, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, watermelons and strawberries.
In addition to a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, the market offers vegan pre-pared products, including con-diments. Yah’s Best, a company based in Huntersville, offers different varieties of organic vegan salsas that can be used to spice up dishes. In addition to traditional tomato-based sal-sas, they also have novel types, such as mango salsa and peach salsa.
For those looking for vegan products a little closer to home, the University hosts a farmers market on campus. The market is in the Brickyard from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesdays. It has five vendors, two of which of-fer vegan products, including broccoli, green beans and sweet peppers. Though the market will end Nov. 18, it will return next semester on Feb. 17.
Several local grocery stores offer specialty vegan products that cannot always be found at farmers markets. Tofu, which is a product made from soybeans, is a good source of protein and a common item in vegan diets because of its wide-ranging uses.
Whole Foods Market, a spe-cialty grocer with stores in Ra-leigh, features several varieties of vegan goods in its stores and a multitude of vegan recipes on its Web site.
Amanda Knost, who is a veg-an employee at Whole Foods, said the grocery store carries a variety of vegan food products
“We’ve got a whole array of vegan meat substitutes in our dairy section; we’ve got tofurky sausage and tempeh bacon,” Knost said.
Tofurky is a meat substitute made from tofu and tempeh is also a meat substitute made from beans and grains.
According to Knost, the store also just received a line of vegan candy bars and marshmal-lows. Other specialty grocery stores, such as Trader Joe’s and The Fresh Market, have stores close to campus and offer vegan products that can’t be found elsewhere.
Restaurants in Raleigh offer menu options for their vegan customers. At some restau-rants, they offer vegan dishes or regular dishes with vegan substitutes, and they can be found in the most unlikely of places.
For instance, The Angus Barn, a popular steakhouse in the city, offers a vegetable platter and seasonal grilled vegetables on its dinner menu.
The Pit, a downtown restau-rant that specializes in tradi-tional pork barbecue, features a barbecued tofu dish that allows vegans to enjoy the restaurant’s specialty while staying in con-cordance with their principles.
Shay Dunbar, an employee at The Pit, said though she is not vegan herself, she sometimes eats the barbecued tofu.
“I like it — I really enjoy it a
lot,” Dunbar said Salsa Fresh Mexican Grill of-
fers an ethnic vegetarian dish with grilled peppers, onions, chilies, black beans, red leaf lettuce and pico de gallo.
Being a vegan isn’t always easy in a society consisting almost entirely of omnivores. However, Raleigh offers places where vegans can purchase and eat foods without animal products. With a little effort, anyone can manage to main-tain a vegan diet.

Heroes among usAlumnus advocates for student veterans
Jane MoonCampus and Capital Editor
Jason Lindsay, a 2009 graduate and former stu-dent senator, felt a need
to create a n orga-nization dedicated to he lp -ing veter-ans at the University. Lindsay, who grad-uated this
summer, founded N.C. State Student Veterans, an organization dedicated to networking and advocating for veterans on campus.
“Typically when veter-ans return, they are typi-cally older students. Most people in the group are in their mid to late 20s and a lot of them have families… There’s a bond and connec-tion of shared experience when vets face unique challenges in a college envi-ronment. our purpose is to support veterans, network and kind of reinstill what we had in the military,” Lindsay said.
Lindsay, who has been in the Army Reserve for 9 years, said the main pur-pose behind the organiza-tion is to network by bring-ing veterans together and to also advocate for changes
that make their adjustment to college life easier.
“A lot of people return from combat, they go from being a soldier of combat to school which is a very different experience. A lot of veterans have injuries, physical limitations. We have some amputees on campus, some with trau-matic brain injury, bruised brains, concentration, vi-sion and hearing problems, post traumatic stress disor-der, and all different kinds of physical and psychologi-cal issues,” Lindsay said.
Though Lindsay found-ed the group in Jan-uary, i t ha s already made prog-ress in i t s 11 months of exis-tence.
“Last year, we got the University to grant P.E. credit to people who were in military. We also try to advocate services for veterans and publicize how many are veterans at N.C. State,” Lindsay said.
Student Veterans is also actively raising funds for those serving in the mili-tary now
“One of our biggest proj-ects is selling Krispy Kreme
doughnuts in the Brickyard and in the Free Expression Tunnel. We are going to send care packages to Iraq over Christmas to deployed troops” Lindsay said.
Lindsay he is going to be the master of ceremony for the organization’s Veterans Day ceremony in Riddick hall that will feature Vice Chancellor for Student Af-fairs Tom Stafford, who is a veteran, a video tribute, a presentation of colors, a trumpet playing Taps, a memorial song to honor men and women killed in combat.
Though Lindsay and his organiza-t ion work s t i relessly to get help veter-ans, the most meaningful act is some-t h i n g t h a t takes very little effort.
“The biggest thing any ci-vilian can do
is to simply say two words, thank you. There are so many people hung up in their everyday lives and they hear the news about Iraq and Afghanistan … They never actually say ‘thank you.’ People can recognize veterans and also remember those who have died in service. Say thank you to veteran,” Lindsay said.

Whole Foods is known for accommodating vegan and vegetarian needs with its variety of meat-free products. But it also
provides an array of prepared vegan food in its salad and hot food bar. The bar had five types of tofu on the menu, each
with completely different flavors. Tofu may scare people, but the food bar showcased how versatile this soy dish can be.
How do you like your tofu?
original marinated:the original marinated tofu was a little chewy, but the flavor was good. though it looked like plain tofu, it was had a nice twang of vinegar that wasn’t too overwhelming. this tofu was on the salad bar at Whole Foods, and it definitely belonged there. though this dish was pleasant it could not be the main dish of a meal, even if it was heated up. however, it would be an excellent compliment to a salad or a small side dish. Rating: 3 out of 5
buffalo garlic tofu:the Buffalo garlic tofu was firm but not chewy. the flavor was oK as the tofu itself did not have much garlic flavor. instead they had entire cloves of garlic accompanying the tofu. the chef could have also gone a little less crazy on the pepper, as it sometimes overwhelmed the palate. it would have been more pleasant if the dish had smaller chunks of garlic instead of whole cloves and if the garlic flavor was better infused into the tofu. Rating: 3.5 out of 5
french onion tofu:the French onion tofu was the scariest in appearance, with its grayish brown coloring. and its aesthetics weren’t the worse part about this dish. there was a taste of onion at first and then it finished off with a fizzle. those who really, really like onions might like this dish, but others would probably want more salt or some other flavor to accompany the tofu. this dish would have been better had the onions been caramelized to give it more flavor. the red onions in the dish were wilted and mushy, instead. Rating: 1 out of 5
barbecue tofu:the barbecue tofu was smothered in a slightly tangy, tomato-based barbecue sauce. it was cut into smaller pieces than the other tofu dishes, making it more manageable to eat. it had a good texture. it was firm but not too chewy. a vegan or vegetarian could easily be seen eating this dish with a side of baked beans and cornbread. it is probably one of the best substitutes for real barbecue there is. Rating: 4 out of 5
asian tofu salad: since tofu originated in asia, this tribute to its heritage almost did it justice. the tofu had a slight flavor of soy sauce, which made it just a bit too salty. But the veggies, such as shredded carrots, that accompanied it were a nice touch. also, the chives and sesame seeds helped its flavor and made a good mixture, as well. But one fault this dish had was that it retained too much water, giving it a squishy and chewy texture. Rating: 3.5 out of 5

Boasting a 7-3 record, the Pack has already seen regu-lar season success. It is led by N.C. State alumni Robert McAllister, who played the sport here in the 1970’s , he brings plenty of experience to the table, which State will need this weekend as it goes for league supremacy.
ambassador for our program.” Palmer not only has what
it took to win 214 of his final 215 matches in high school, with the one loss coming on a medical default, he also has the defending national champion at his weight class coach-ing him up.
“Thus far this season [Caldwell] is always right beside me,” Palmer said. “ We t a l k about every-thing that’s going on. He’s a lways very confident in me , wh ich helps me be more confident in myself. If I’m in shape and ready to go, I can beat anybody. So it’s been very beneficial having him in my corner and I know it will be throughout the season.”
Caldwell expects a big season out of Palmer and said he can’t wait to see his former backup in action.
“He was a great backup last year,” Caldwell said. “I hon-estly feel like last year he could have won ACCs at that weight class. I just want to see C.P. go out there and do his thing and get things popping. That’s his name -- we call him Mr. Get It Popping, so we want to see him get it popping this year. I’m looking forward to a great
season for my dude. “
Fi l l ing in for Caldwell, w h o t h i s past summer became the f i rs t w res-tler in Wolf-pack history to w re s t le for the U.S. World Na-tional team, would almost certainly put
a lot of pressure on most peo-ple, but Palmer said he actually relishes the task at hand.
“I don’t feel as if it’s a lot of pressure on me,” Palmer said. “I feel more as if it’s an oppor-tunity for me. I also have to walk in my own shoes because you can’t really fill his shoes, him being a national champion and whatnot.”

LUIS ZAPATA/TECHNICIAN FILE PHOTOAt the Raleigh Viper Pitch, Dave Maki, senior in graphic design, tries to get away from players during the Alumni Match Saturday, Oct. 24. The current players and alumni were dispersed between the two teams. Maki played for the N.C. State rugby club team for three years before quitting.
“We are very
fortunate to
have him and we
expect him
to have a
terrific year.”Coach Carter Jordan
er said. “The thing is, you have to get your hands on him. He is a lot stronger than his body type makes him look.”
Even with all of the dynamic offensive players on the field, redshirt senior defensive tackle Leroy Burgess believes Young
may be just as big of play maker as any of them.
“Willie is a gamer and Willie is going to be Willie,” Burgess said. “If he is not getting a sack you know he is going to make a play some way somehow. He is a heck of a game changer you have to keep one eye on him wherever he is on the field.”

Team will host UNC-Chapel Hill in bout for state supremacy
Ely YarbroughStaff Writer
This Thursday night, the Men’s Club Rugby Team will host the fall state championship against re-gional foe UNC. The game, which will take place at the IM fields at 8:00 PM, will be the fall season finale of the newly-es-tablished Carolinas League and wi l l crow n a bi-state champi-on.
The Carolinas League is a bra nd new rug-by confer-ence that includes North Carolinian teams N.C. State, ECU, Wake Forest and Appalachian State and South Carolinian teams Clemson and USC.
The conference the Pack used to play in was only a four team conference con-sisting of teams solely from North Carolina. The main season is in the spring but the championship for the conference is in the fall.
The Pack qualified for the state championship by
beating ECU on Halloween
weekend, 31-3, at the cham-pionship site at the Danville Virginia Rugby Facility. But, to the teams’ dismay, before the final game could be played, the weather became stormy and the game was postponed. The site of the championship moved to Raleigh.
Bryan Maxwell, junior in civil engineering and match secretary for the team, has been playing the sport of rugby since he was about 12 years old. He said he is very excited to have
championship rugby played on ca mpus , especially a g a i n s t a n historical ri-val like UNC. Maxwell, along with the team, is confi-dent about the Pack’s chances against the re-gional power-house.
“ We h ave great vibes and
energy coming in to this game,” Maxwell said. “I feel that we are better conditioned and we are ready to take on the Tar Heels.”
Maxwell also said the team is a force to be reckoned with because it doesn’t have any one stand out player, causing oppo-nents to split their focus.
“We are a cohesive unit. We all push one another to do bet-ter,” Maxwell said.
After wrestling at multiple weights and redshirting last season, Colton Palmer is ready to step in at 149
Tyler EverettDeputy Sports Editor
Compared to his high school career, during which he set national records with 95 victories as a senior and 289 in his career, junior 149 pounder Colton Palmer has had a quiet first two years at State. His freshman year, Palmer self lessly filled in for at least three matches at three different weight class-es, then redshirted while backing up national cham-pion Darrion Caldwell at 149 pounds a year ago. But in the wake of an injury that will prevent Caldwell from wrestling this season, Palm-er said he is now thrilled to be the starter at his natural weight.
“I’m very excited to be at 149,” Palmer said. “I’m fi-nally at my real weight class. Personally, I just wanted to do whatever I could do to help the team, but this year’s really a chance for me to flourish in my weight class. I’m really excited about that, and I expect nothing less from myself than being an ACC champion.”
With Caldwell, one of the best wrestlers in N.C. State history, out for the season, many might expect a drop off at his weight class. Coach
Carter Jordan could not dis-agree more.
“There’s no question there is not much of a drop-off,” Jordan said. “It’s an embarrassment of riches to have somebody as talented as he is, filling in, so to speak. He’s a legitimate 149 pounder that will compete to be an All-American this year. We are very fortunate to have him and we expect him to have
a terrific year.”Palmer is every bit as impres-
sive off the mat as he is on it, according to his coach.
“He’s as good a citizen as he is an athlete,” Jordan said. “He’s an awesome kid and a great stu-dent. He is a really, really great

Sanchez was named to the first team and Bouemboue received second-team honors. It was the third time Sanchez had been given an all-conference honor, but was the first time he had placed on the first team. The honor marks the first time an N.C. State men’s soccer player has been on the first team since Aaron King was nominated in 2005. Sanchez co-leads the Wolfpack with seven goals and is second on the team in both points and assists. Bouemboue was named to the second-team for the second straight year. He leads State in points and assists, and co-leads in goals with Sanchez.

Hill makes regular season debut over weekend Former N.C. State tight end Anthony Hill made his regular season debut Sunday for the Houston Texans in the squad’s 20-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Hill, who was drafted in last year’s NFL draft in the fourth round by the Houston Texans, had been buried in the depth chart after being out sick in the first few games of the regular season. The rookie tight end had one catch for nine yards in the loss.

DID YOU KNOW?The men’s soccer team, which plays North Carolina tonight in first round of the ACC tournament, has only won the ACC tournament once, in 1990.
Battle in trenches could determine victory Saturday
Taylor Barbour Deputy Sports Editor
Heading into one of the most important games of both teams’ seasons, N.C. State defensive end Wil-lie Young and Clemson defensive end Ricky Sapp are prepared to lead their teams to victory. The Pack is in a must-win situation as it needs to win the last three games for a bowl bid. Clemson had a recent re-surgence and is also playing for a bowl bid as well as an outside shot at the Atlantic Division title.
Going into the game, both ends will be a main fo-cus for both offensive coor-dinators as they try to find ways to limit the ends’ abili-ty. State coach Tom O’Brien believes the coaches will try to find ways to mix up the looks they give the ends to keep them guessing.
“It is not unlike facing a good quarterback,” O’Brien said. “You can’t give them the same look the whole time and if you do, they will counter what you do.”
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said he is not overlooking Young as he prepares for Saturday’s game.
“He is an outstanding player that you have to worry about on every play,” Swinney said. “He is really a
good pass rusher that disrupts your offense. He has been a good player for quite a while so his success this year has not been a surprise.
“State has some good football players on defense, especially in that front line. That is the strength of their defense.”
Swinney said he sees many similarities between the senior and the graduate student.
“They both are outstanding
pass rushers who are smart football players,” Swinney said. “They know their assign-ments.”
With sophomore star defen-sive end De’Quan Bowers po-tentially sidelined indefinitely with an ACL injury, Sapp will be charged with containing the Pack’s rushing attack. Both ends will be facing significant challenges on as they try to stop two of the most dynamic play-
ers in the ACC in Pack redshirt sophomore quarterback Rus-sell Wilson and senior Tiger running back C.J. Spiller.
Redshirt senior offensive tackle Jeraill McCuller knows he is in for a fierce battle on Saturday in going up against Sapp and trying to keep him off of Wilson.
