Debt agreement could harm students’ pockets The recently passed debt ceiling may increase the cost of student loans.

John Wall News Editor

Although the long-term effects on student loans borne by the debt ceiling increase are not fully understood, students can expect changing interest rates as they seek further loans.

According to a Wall Street Journal article, student loan debt in the United

States totals $830 billion. That figure will probably increase as financial aid has become increasingly scarce — a prediction that the University has recognized.

The Board of Governor’s decreased University funding by 15.1 percent this year.

According to the University website, “reductions in the [Board of Governor’s] student financial aid budget will have a negative impact on student financial aid resources available to NC State students. It is not yet clear what the full impact will be but with less

financial aid, the number of student loans likely will increase.”

The decreased supply of financial aid will force students to look elsewhere for ways to pay for college, and they will mainly look to student loans. As a consequence, the demand for student loans will push interest rates higher.

Supply of loans must keep up with demand in order to keep interest rates stable. With tight credit throughout the economy, this is unlikely. The U.S. congress avoided defaulting on its bills this summer by increasing the debt ceiling — a limit on the nation’s total

accrued debt.

Had they not, interest rates on loans, including student loans, would have jumped along with rates on all credit.

In the midst of heated talks between those on the right and left wing, lawmakers considered removing subsidies from student loans.

“The issue is that when [congressmen] were cutting programs, one of the things that is on the chopping block to get cut is the subsidization of student loans. When students apply for loans, they can get subsidized or unsubsidized loans,” graduate student

in economics Jonathan Eyer said.

“Subsidized means that the government is not going to charge interest while you are in school. If you borrow $10,000 as a freshman, when you get out it’s still $10,000. The government could be doing something else with the money it feeds into loan subsidization, though. It is a problem of opportunity cost — the next best thing the money could be used for,” Eyer said.

Local business owners make an effort to be student-friendly.

Elise Heglar Deputy News Editor

Business owners on Hillsborough Street have been making changes in the last few months to make their establishments more appealing to University students.

Businesses such as East Village Grill and Two Guys have been making changes in appearance and management in order to stay updated for their customers.

“A lot of businesses have been doing some new marketing and really trying to reach out to their customers,” Jeff Murison, the executive director of the hillsborough street community service corporation, said.

In addition to existing businesses making changes, there are also two new businesses that will be opening on Hillsborough St. in the near future.

Chile Bomba will be opening where the Mexican restaurant El Rodeo used to be located. According to Murison, the new business is under the same ownership as El Rodeo and is undergoing some re-branding changes.

“They are under new management and they are doing a lot of renovations to the building. It’s going to be brighter and more welcoming; the same place everyone knows and loves with a new face,” Murison said.

taurant, will be opening on Hillsborough St. within the next month. It is replacing what used to be a convenience store.

Some businesses, such as East Village Grill, have made small changes. Taylor Matthews, a manager at East Village, said most of the changes were about updating the restaurant and making it stay relevant for customers.

“All restaurants are going to evolve at some point and it was just time for East Village to evolve a little bit,” Matthews said.

In addition to the internal changes, East Village is now

offering a dog-friendly patio area for customers. Matthews said that they decided to make the deck dog-friendly after realizing that Raleigh does not have a lot of places where dogs are allowed.

East Village is now also relying on locally grown produce for the restaurant. Matthews said they decided to make this change in order to give back to and stay involved with the community.

“Most everyone seems to like the changes so far,” Matthews said.

The reason for all of the changes, according to Catherine Hilla, a senior in business administration, who interned with the hillsborough community service corporation, is that businesses want to be more appealing to the student body.

“Owners noticed that their businesses weren’t showing that they wanted people to come in,” Hilla said.

Business owners are hoping to appeal to the student body with these new updates on Hillsborough St., according to Hilla.

“We want to inform students about these changes so that students will want to come out on Hillsborough Street,” Hilla said.

Murison said the updates are just an extra way to make the street welcoming to the student body. The updates coupled with the finished street renovation project create an environment that students will enjoy, Murison said.

“It has become more pedestrian friendly and more welcoming. It is clean and safe

and there is more parking available,” Murison said.

Murison also said businesses have been remodeling frequently in order to keep up with the new businesses coming onto the street.

“People are putting in more investment because everybody on the street is stepping up their game,” Murison said.

Murison said that he hopes students will frequent all of the businesses on Hillsborough St. and enjoy all of the updates that have taken place in the past few years.

“We’re ready for students to come back to campus and re-discover Hillsborough Street and all it has to offer,” Murison said.

Landscape architecture students beautify Turlington and Owen Graduate landscape design students complete beautification project outside residence halls.

Elise Heglar Deputy News Editor

Graduate students in the landscape design program got the opportunity to complete an entire project between Owen and Turlington residence halls.

Housing staff had been discussing doing something with the space between Owen and Turlington for several years before

the official announcement of the project, according to Keith Wickliffe, the assistant director for University Housing on central campus.

“There had been interest for several years in doing something with the space and this was a good opportunity to make it happen,” Wickliffe said.

Students in the graduate level landscape design program worked with Andrew Fox, an assistant professor in landscape architecture, to design and ultimately create the space. The section between Turlington and Owen is phase one of a project that will be completed

in 2015.

The design students who completed the project looked at five different options for on-campus renovation before choosing the space between Turlington and Owen for their project. The students were chosen to work on this project after the University saw success with a project they completed behind Syme residence hall.

“Housing likes to reach out to our students when it comes to projects like this and this gave us a great opportunity to do that,” University Housing employee Pete Fraccaroli said.

The area, which used to hold mulch, broken benches and unused outdoor grills, now has several benches where students can sit, as well as intricate landscape design throughout the area.

“This was an under-utilized space and we wanted to change that for our students,” Fraccaroli said.

One of the reasons this particular area was chosen for the project was that it is an area frequented by visitors to

campus. Owen residence hall is displayed as an example residence hall to potential students and their parents who tour the campus.

“This is a high traffic area for students and parents who are visiting the University. It’s helpful for them to see a place that not only looks good but was actually created by some of our students,” Wickliffe said.

One of the catalysts of the project was the Turlington Hall Council. According to Wickliffe, the council advocated for a better use of the space for students last year. After polling students in the dorm, it was decided that the project would go forward.

“We started conversations with the Turlington hall council about working on the space, and then this opportunity with the design class came around, so we made it work,” Wickliffe said.

The space was officially unveiled in early August for student use. There has been good reception of the space so far, Fraccaroli said. You can find

students lounging between classes or reading a book on one of the newly installed benches.

“This space is good because it is a little sheltered and secluded space. It’s somewhere that students can go for a little quietness between classes,” Wickliffe said.

Lindsey Schaefer, a sophomore in creative writing and a second-year resident in Turlington, is appreciative of how much work project workers accomplished before residents moved in.

“I am really appreciative of how much they were able to get done before the students got here. The Thunderdome is such a prominent feature to living here and it adds so much to the dorm to be able to hang out with friends outside on the nice days,” Schaefer said.

Fraccaroli says that he is happy with the way the project is turning out and he expects to see a lot of student use it in the future.

invest it at the worldwide rate of interest. By choosing not to — by giving the money to students — they are incurring the cost of what they’re not getting to invest in other things,” Eyer said.

If the government ends subsidies, it would increase student loan interest rates, according to Associate Professor of economics Michael McElroy.

“Student loans largely come through the private sector, but they have federal guarantees; This encourages banks and other financial institutions to make these relatively low inter-

est rate and increasingly high risk loans because they get subsidized from the government.

“The extent that subsidy is taken away, it would certainly raise the cost of student loans,” McElroy said.

Although student loans make up a hefty portion of total debt in the United States, they are one small part of an international financial system.

Therefore, with a heavily interconnected worldwide economy, it is difficult to predict the exact impact the debt ceiling rise will have on student loans.

Honey bees play a large role and are an added value in the economic factors in North Carolina.

There is all kinds of agriculture data showing how important the honey bees are to us.” David Tarpy, a professor and extension apiculturist with the Department of Entomology will be giving a talk on “Colony Collapse disorder and Honey Bee Health” on Aug. 24 from 4:30-5:30 p.m. at the College of Veterinary Medicine in D236.

“Many different factors affect colony health,” Tarpy said.

“The three categories of factors investigators have been looking into are different diseases, such as mites, and other issues as well as nutritional stress, such as how their limited foraging resources might lower nutrition and cause health problems. They also look at environmental contaminants such as pesticides and how they react with the syndrome.”

However, Tarpy said it is often difficult to tell if a colony has lost so many of its members because of colony collapse disorder or one of many other syndromes and diseases.

“Honeybee colonies die for so many reasons and have been affected by many other problems for decades, so some of these symptoms can be difficult to distinguish from other problems that befall colonies,” Tarpy said.

One of the most obvious signs specific to colony collapse disorder is a major loss of adult bees despite plenty of resources and unborn young, according to Tarpy.

“The tell tale symptom of an

{Our view}

Construction means progress, embrace it A

The Facts:

At the beginning of this year, Raleigh and N.C. State University embarked on numerous construction projects around and on campus.

This includes the area surrounding N.C. State: Hillsborough Street.

Our Opinion:

Students should not be upset and disturbed by these projects, but rather embrace the change they bring to campus and our community.

s students arrived on campus for classes to begin, they were met with constant construction projects occurring on and around campus. The projects included off-campus construction of the Valentine Commons apartment complex, the Hillsborough Street shops’ face-lifts, renovations of Talley Student Center, minor renovations to Witherspoon Student Center and the constant work being done on Centennial Campus.

Although these distractions make commuting to and on campus difficult, and sometimes cause disturbances to student life, the benefits ulti-

mately lie with the students.

While it’s easier for students to complain about the ongoing construction projects, it’s difficult to see the resulting effects to student life.

For instance, the re-beautification of Hillsborough Street is aimed for it to be more collegefriendly and to appeal to the student demographic. Making these projects with students in mind will allow for more opportunities at the University.

Aside from the noisy nights and crowded crossroads to class, the constant production

in our community, especially during this time of economic recession, symbolizes progress, and progress is something we as students are fortunate to have in our neighborhood.

If there are new businesses coming to or near campus, their ideal marketing technique will be to give out truck-loads of free stuff — and as college students we love free stuff.

These businesses care to have our business, so we should not just blow them off solely because right now they’re crowding up our daily walk to class.

We should embrace these projects and look forward to what they will bring to our campus and our community.

If you look at the benefits these businesses will bring to our campus, the more positive and interactive community we have, the more positive effect it has on our University. The better our University looks, the more students will want to attend our school.

The main point to remember is when you encounter these projects and see them as a hassle, be patient, because the time invested in these projects will allow our community to prosper and positively impact our overall collegiate experience.

The Wolfline needs to streamline information

A

t the beginning of every school year you are bound to find confused, new students on campus. I mean really, the place is huge and, honestly, some of the buildings’ layouts are not all Jon Lewis Staff Columnist that intuitive.

Harrelson Hall has those strange alternating staircases taking you to every other floor so if you get on the wrong one you’d be totally lost on the wrong floor. Dabney and Cox run together making it all too easy to walk into another building without even noticing it; and the worst offender of a l l is Carmichael Gymnasium with its labyrinthine design ma k ing it impossible for a stranger to navigate its realms.

Of course, most of these puzzles can be figured out in the first few weeks of being on campus. However, one thing manages continuously to screw up peoples’ daily school lives— the Wolfline bus system.

Now, I appreciate t he Wolf line a great deal, especially as an engineer since I have to hop back and forth between Centennial and main campus. A free bus servicing all of campus is pretty much essential to a school our size.

However, if you are going to provide a system for students to plan their schedules around, it might be a good idea to give students prior warning before the Office of Transportation goes and changes the bus routes and schedules.

On the first day of the semester I had just gotten out of class on Centennial Campus and was walking over to Oval Drive where I had left my bike. When I got out to the big walkway in front of Engineering Building II, I was surprised to see more people standing around waiting than I had ever seen before. Of course all of those people were expecting Route 3 to take them back to main campus. Little did they know that the University had axed Route

3 and even if they waited there all day, no one was coming to give them a ride.

Why did not a single person in the crowd know about the route change?

Was it because they’re du mb or maybe t hey were too lazy to check the Wolf line website? Dumb and lazy don’t really sound like characteristics of N.C. State engineers, so what was the problem? The problem was the information was not streamlined to the students like information about bus routes should be. It wasn’t until 2:18 p.m. later that day that an email was sent out informing students of t he route change.

How hard would it have been to send that email one day earlier before it caused headaches for those who needed to get to class on a campus two miles away.

This instance causes concern for the future as well.

With all of the construction going on around campus, who knows how many times the buses around main campus will have to go alternate routes and not keep their normal stops?

When that happens are they going to wait until it’s too late to give everyone a heads up again? I certainly hope not. It’s not like they don’t have every student’s email address, and it’s not like it takes more than a sentence telling us we might want to check the schedule out.

While it is true you can check the schedules online, does anyone really have the time to check it every time they need to get on a bus?

No way.

All it would take to save us all some serious headache and hassle is a simple email a day before any changes happen. Do that, N.C. State Transportation, and you will have my thanks.

“The problem is the information was not streamlined to the students.”

Dorm visitation policy is outdated

T

he 14th amendment of the U.S. Constitution contains the Equal Protection Clause, which says that the laws of a state must provide each individual with an equal protection of laws.

In the name of student protection, University Housing has adopted a system of Anokhi Shah hypocritical Deputy rules regardViewpoint Editor ing visitation by members of the opposite sex.

Most colleges in North Carolina and other states of the south follow this same unfair system, whereas northern universities have a more lenient system in place. The southern system of visitation rules is outdated and should be revised immediately.

University visitation protocol follows two different sets of rules. If the hall is Bragaw or Alexander, “24-hour visitation will be allowed in selected halls/areas as designated by University Housing and may be periodically revised.” However, if the hall is Wood, Sullivan or Lee, guests of the opposite sex must be out by 1 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 2 a.m.

Friday through Saturday. In any case, guests of the same sex may stay overnight as long as the student’s roommate agrees.

The only redeemable portion of the policy is a roommate agreement, which should always be included when guest visitation is concerned. According to University Housing rules, if a roommate is not

comfortable with a guest, he/ she is allowed to report the incident to their resident advisor, regardless of a 24-hour visitation policy.

Every other rule is utterly ridiculous, especially the fact that the residence hall policy is arbitrarily determined by University Housing and can be revised at any moment. However, it is far more appalling that restrictions on overnight guests exist at all, especially on the basis of sex.

In the south, traditional gender roles have survived for much longer than in the north.

Many traditional gender roles still exist in the south, and the further south one ventures, the more gender inequality is evidenced. In the north, most universities, with the exception of all-female institutions, have 24-hour visitation policies regarding members of either sex.

The overnight visitation discrepancy in the south, particularly at N.C. State, is just another reminder that women are not treated equally. It is common knowledge that enforcement of the policy is much stricter in girls’ halls or suites, and the rule merely encourages women to go to potentially more dangerous locations like a house or apartment to stay the night with a male.

The housing rule further inconveniences people in established relationships, both male and female. Those couples on campus are forced to say goodbye at a certain time each night or sneak each other into their dorms for the night.

Long-distance couples have it even worse because of a lack of a place to stay during the sparse

visits. The housing policy is not only maintaining a tradition of sexism but also discouraging established relationships from advancing.

The biggest issue with the the University’s visitation policy is its unequal rules and their enforcement.

University Housing should adopt either a 24-hour policy for all its dorms, or the restricted policy for each residence hall. If Housing chooses to restrict visitation they should also not allow members of the same sex to stay overnight. The current rule simply favors closet gay and lesbian couples and same-sex friends.

Because the restricted policy is outdated, sexist and hypocritical, University Housing has no choice but to adopt the 24-hour policy for all its dorms. Laws exist in the United States to protect all its citizens. Though law enforcement statistics show our country does a poor job of uniformly and indiscriminately sanctioning its citizens, universities would do well to provide a better example for the rest of the country.

University Housing is just one segment of the University that has the power to provide equal rights to all members of its University.

If Housing chooses to maintain its hypocritical policies, it should at least communicate to the student body the rationale behind the rules.

If there is no rationale other than maintaining tradition, it is high time these rules change.

Chile Bomba, formerly El Rodeo, and Chipotle Mexican Grill, are new additions to the changing landscape of Hillborough Street. Both restaurants, located across Chamberlain Street, will focus on Tex-Mex cuisine. Chile Bomba plans to open Aug. 23 and Chipotle prospects it will finish construction Aug. 30.

New Mexican restaurants compete for local business Chile Bomba adds southwestern flair and flavor The restaurant, which will replace El Rodeo, offers a new vibe and menu.

Frances Ellis Correspondent

El Rodeo resided on Hillsborough Street, feeding students and locals traditional Mexican food for 18 years. But now it’s gone. Chile Bomba, a new venture from the Ibarra restaurant group, is replacing it.

“We wanted a fun, energetic and cool atmosphere that people can have a great time in,” Charlie Ibarra, from the Ibarra restaurant family, said. “It’ll be more liberal than before. N.C. State is right across the street and we wanted a livelier, more social atmosphere for the college crowd ­a place where people can create memories.”

The menu will be similar, but dotted with new dishes inspired by Jibarra, an affiliate restaurant. Jalapeño hushpuppies, beer-battered fish tacos and steak burritos are all a few of the new offerings.

One noted appetizer was the carne asada fries ­ fries loaded with steak, cheese,

pico de gallo, black beans and chives. Ibarra also mentioned that the Mama’s Tinga ­a chipotle-marinated chicken ­is based upon his mother’s recipe. The menu will also feature taco and burrito baskets.

A few of the old menu items will no longer be there, but if the ingredients are available, special requests for old favorites may be accommodated.

In addition to the overhaul in the menu, there will also be an expanded selection of drinks.

Nine different types of margaritas and flavored vodka pitchers will be available. Those watching calories can sip on a skinny margarita, while others feeling adventurous can try the Corona Remix ­ an upside-down coronita placed in a frozen or on-th-rocks margarita. Ibarra called it the “have a good time” drink.

Mex ican and American culture are fused together in a playful mix of new and old to revamp the interior. Pop art coexists playfully with vintage pieces. Various colorful murals, ranging from Luchadores (or Mexican wrestlers) to a Star Trek parody of a graphic from a traditional Mexican bingo

game, now cover the expansive brick wall. Records that Ibarra found in second hand music shops dot the wall on the opposite side of the restaurant and bright paper mache lanterns in the shape of stars f loat above the tables. The space itself is more open and airy than the previous layout.

Indie music from both Mexico and the U.S. will be played, according to Ibarra.

Ilse Gonzalez, a junior in nutrition science, said she’s excited about working at Chile Bomba.

“The food is Tex-Mex with a twist, and it has a college atmosphere that wasn’t present in El Rodeo. I could definitely see it becoming a student hangout because of the fun vibe and proximity to campus. I personally plan on checking it out when I’m not working.”

With a staff consisting of mainly students, and plans to participate in all Hillsborough Hikes, Ibarra said he hopes Chile Bomba will become a tradition on Hillsborough Street.

The restaurant opens Aug. 23 and a grand opening is in the planning stage.

Students and faculty no longer have to walk to Cameron Village or Glenwood South to get a quick fix for a Tex-Mex burrito, with a new branch of Chipotle Mexican Grill opening on Hillsborough Street.

Decatur said the most surprising aspect of her trip to Japan was its similarity to what she knew through pop culture.

“It actually is like manga (Japanese comics)—the streets really are that narrow, the cats really do cry like that.”

After long periods in a foreign country, the reverse culture shock of returning home can be difficult, but Decatur is settling back into the University community.

However, she brought back a few things from her time abroad. “[I brought back] the little things I’ve grown accustomed to [while living in Japan],” Decatur said. “Like healthy eating and aesthetically pleasing things. I’d like to do something with aikido, to show people how awesome it is.”

According to Decatur, reverse culture shock makes one think about their own lifestyle and values. Like many things new students encounter in when first arriving at the University, study abroad makes students refine and define themselves, Decatur said.

by September the construction [of Hillsborough Street] was completed—since then I have noticed a great increase of foot traffic and reports say that the 2010 school year was pretty successful but predictions for the 2011 year are even greater,” Murison said.

“Honestly, it is a bit disappointing,” Cain said. “13 corners and 14 shots. We couldn’t really find the back of the net today. But we definitely battled and that’s what mattered. We got the win and, hey, we’ll take a win any way we can.”

Like Springthorpe said, it only takes one. That one came from senior defender Alex Berger in the 88th minute. The icing on the cake - it was her first goal ever in her four years of playing for the Wolfpack. After Cain was taken down in the box with a dangerous tackle from behind, team captain Berger stepped up to the penalty spot for redemption. Berger slotted the ball into the net, just barely out of reach from the Navy keeper. The joy in Berger’s face was still present after the game.

“I just thank God that I hit it just hard enough,” Berger said. “The keeper made an amazing attempt at it. I’m so happy it was my first goal.”

After the game, Springthorpe mentioned how he looks to Proper and freshman defender Shelli Spamer to be the creative directors in deadball situations. “[Spamer] and Morgan Proper split the time serving corners,” Springthorpe said.

“Shellie has a great service. She can kick it a long way and with great accuracy. As long as she stays healthy and things work out, then she’ll continue to take a lot of those for us.”

Taunts, jeers, and heckles are not what I expected from a women’s soccer game, but that’s exactly what took place during a rowdy women’s game Sunday afternoon. Between the Midshipmen defense and the Wolfpack fans, there wasn’t a silent moment. The students heckled the goalkeeper the entire second half. Chants began ringing out and quickly escalated. The most agitating and noticeable, “LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT”, shouts rang out from behind goal with each step the goalkeeper took. The noise was relentless and continued with “WOLF…PACK “ cheers in the final two minutes of Sunday’s game in celebration of a successful penalty kick, which proved to be the game-winning goal.

Senior captain undergoes surgery for fractured foot.

Staff Report With less than wo weeks remaining until the opening weekend of football, N.C. State received word that defensive tackle J.R. Sweezy will miss the next six weeks with a fractured foot. According to Annabelle Myers, the assistant athletics director for NCSU media relations, coaches and players are not available to discuss details of the injury.

The redshirt senior out of Mooresville was expected to be a leading contributor for the defensive front. With 13 tackles for a loss and six sacks, Sweezy received an honorable mention for the All-ACC team last season. If the initial timetable for his return holds true, Sweezy may return for the ACC home opener versus Georgia Tech on October 1.
