Schools see rash of gunmen on campus N.C. universities have experienced several gunmen incidents over the course of the past month.

Andrew Branch Deputy News Editor

East Carolina University was put on lock down Wednesday, becoming the sixth N.C. campus to issue an alert due to a suspected or confirmed gunman since Oct. 28.

While the gun at ECU turned out to be an umbrella, it highlighted the increased incidents on campuses in the state.

Mary Schulken, director of public affairs at ECU, said there were no regrets to the response Wednesday.

“I don’t think that anything that happened today was a mistake,” Schulken said. “Clearly there was the perception that we had a potential threat and when that’s the case, at a university such as [ECU] with 27,000 plus students, 3,000 plus faculty and employees, you have to take immediate steps to protect those folks and the communities around you.”

The various recent incidents occurred Oct. 28 at N.C. State, Nov. 7 at one of Wake Tech’s north campuses, Nov. 9 at Campbell University, Nov. 11 at N.C. State, Nov. 8, 12 and 13 at Fayetteville State University, Nov. 14 at UNC-Wilmington and Nov. 16 at ECU. Katherine Player, a freshman in textile design, said the recent incidents have made her a little uneasy about campus safety.

“Especially the one with the two girls [robbed by four men at gun point at North Hall] because it was right there and it was at not a crazy time and [they weren’t alone],” Player said.

For the most part, recent incidents went by without injuries. Fayetteville State students were physically assaulted in their dorm room Nov. 13 and a shotgun was fired by one of the five assailants, but according to the police report, no one was seriously injured.

University Deputy Police Chief John Barnwell did not return phone calls Wednesday, but UNC-W chief David Donaldson said crime on and near campuses is not new, despite the increased frequency and publicity.

“I don’t think any of us are sitting up and saying, wow, there is crime on

BOT officials to talk possible large tuition increase The N.C. State Board of Trustees Tuition and Fees Committee is meeting today at to discuss the proposed $330 campus-initiated tuition increase.

and around campus. That’s not a new phenomenon,” Donaldson said.

An armed robber f led onto the UNC-W campus just before midnight Nov. 14 and was not found despite authorities’ search efforts.

Michael Pavelka, a freshman in First Year College, said he still felt safe on campus.

“It’s such a big campus. We had that one incident with the bank robber, but even then I felt safe. I felt like the Wolf Alert was a little bit lacking, but other than that, I wasn’t fearing for my safety,” Pavelka said.

University students and faculty complained Oct. 28 when an alleged bank robber fled to campus with what was then believed to be a gun and most people on campus only heard the alert message, “This is an emergency. Please seek shelter immediately.” People were upset because of the lack of detail in the broadcast message.

Students did not receive text messages and emails until half an hour after the all clear.

The explanation given by campus Police Chief Jack Moorman was the situation developed and cleared up so quickly, the all clear message came very soon after the initial alert. The

delay in other forms of alerts was because was no longer danger on campus.

Alert systems at UNC-W, Campbell and ECU operated smoothly for the most part during the incidents. “[Campus police] learn something every time we use it. We learn more about its capability and more about what we need to work harder on,” Schulken said.

Donaldson said police prepare for

these situations, but safety is a shared responsibility.

“Every one of us has a responsibility to protect ourselves. Some of it is being aware of resources, utilizing those resources, following instructions when they’re released [and] reporting suspicious circumstances,” Donaldson said.

“The [personal safety] adages you heard growing up probably, apply just as well to you now.”

The Board of Trustees Tuition and Fees Committee is meeting today at 9:15 a.m. in Winslow Conference Hall to discuss the proposed campus-initiated tuition and fee increases, which includes a proposed $330 tuition increase.

This meeting is just one day after the protests at UNC Chapel Hill.

A committee of the UNC-Chapel Hill Board of Trustees approved a 40 percent increase on in-state tuition Wednesday and the recommended increase was immediately met by student protestors who condemned the proposal. The full UNC-Chapel Hill Board of Trustees will vote on it today.

The UNC-Chapel Hill proposed increase is based off of a loophole in the 2006 legislation that allowed up to a 6.5 percent cap on tuition in UNC system. The loophole allows for campuses to “catch up” to the tuition level of peer institutions. N.C. State’s peer group includes institutions that receive a large portion of their funding from the state and grants and have low tuition compared to the number of students they are serving.

If the N.C. State Board of Trustees chose to use the “catch-up” system, N.C. State students could look forward to two tuition-increase options.

Wolf Exchange works to boost student commerce Student designed site gears to facilitate ‘exchange and business’ on campus.

Mark Herring Features Editor

Zach Milburn, a junior in business administration, noticed students buying textbooks for prices over $100 and then selling them back for less than half the price. That’s why he decided to spend his free time this summer developing a site that allows students to sell books--and more--among each other.

One problem: Milburn’s idea for a N.C. State centered web-

would increase tuition by the proposed $330 and $1,500, an increase of $1,830. The fouryear option, which is the option UNC Chapel Hill will vote on today, will allow tuition to increase by 6.5 percent plus $375 for the next four years.

Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Tom Stafford speculated the events in Chapel Hill Wednesday could have an effect on the committee’s tuition discussions today.

Patrick Devore, chair of the Student Government Committee on Tuition and Fees, said students are welcome to attend the open meeting tomorrow and on Friday.

“I don’t think [the catch-up system] is in play here at State, at least not this year,” Devore said.

While the UNC System is constitutionally-bound to provide education at a “practicable” cost, campuses across

site along the lines of Craigslist already existed. Chris Roth, a former N.C. State student in business, created the first edition of Wolf Exchange last year.

“I launched the site in May of 2010,” Roth said. “It was my freshman year, and I was looking at connecting people with the housing market. It took off.”

Roth became occupied with other projects, and the first edition of Wolf Exchange went dormant after its initial boom.

However, Zach Milburn and his brother, Geoff Milburn, found the site later when thinking of a similar idea.

“We really like the idea and the name,” Zach Milburn said.

“We just wanted to revamp it. the UNC System have to look at other ways to raise money due to the loss of federal and state support and one of those ways is increasing tuition. Students from across the UNC System have expressed their discontent at the hikes through campus protests.

Christine Hajdin, a representative from the Association of Student Governments, talked to N.C. State’s Student Government about the “Cuts Hurt” program Wednesday, which aims to educate students and legislators about the situations students are facing.

Devore said students can help by submitting stories to Student Government about how they’ve been affected by the tuition increases and economic downturn. These will be forwarded to the UNC Board of Governors, by order of UNC President Thomas Ross.

The N.C. State Board of Trustees Tuition and Fees Committee will send their proposal to the full Board of Trustees meeting on Friday.

NCSU needed,” Roth said. “We would love to make money, but our focus is to provide service to our visitors. We want to get a critical mass…the more people that use it, the more value the site has. Then we can worry about the money part.”

According to Milburn, Wolf Exchange is his creative outlet to develop a product, which he calls good practice.

“I’m in an entrepreneurship concentration, so this is what I love doing,” Milburn said.

“Chris and Geoff have the same outlooks, so we hope to expand with more visitors.”

Without Milburn’s expressed interest in Wolf Exchange, the site may have never rebounded after 2010. According to Roth,

he almost allowed too much dust to accumulate on the almost forgotten project.

“I’m glad it’s not going to die now that new people are helping out,” Roth said. “There is some energy and hope. I don’t have the time to market it, I’m more involved in programming, so Zach and Geoff have revamped that really well. All we need is some more traffic.”

Wolf Exchange may encourage students to do business on campus, and according to Milburn and Roth, this would be a safer alternative to other online classifieds.

“People won’t be sketched out by doing business on the site,” Milburn said. “I hope that it would bring people on to campus to sell their books, in an established safe environment.

We also just want to build community between students.”

The development tea m doesn’t make any money off the site. According to Roth, the project is an altruistic way for him to gain experience.

At that point, it was just for housing.”

Milburn approached Roth in September and offered to buy the rights to the site, but the brothers decided to join forces with Roth to rebrand Wolf Exchange.

“We’ve added more options, like ways for people to sell and buy books, post events, buy tickets,” Milburn said. “It’s like a Craiglist at State.”

Milburn and Roth said Wolf Exchange offers a cleaner and better-designed site for its users.

“The cluttered and busy layout of Craigslist—it’s ugly—I guess adds to their charm,” Milburn said. “But a lot of people are deterred from it.”

The Facts:

Is Siri a hipster?!

recently bought the iPhone 4s. With the new iPhone comes Siri, the voice control feature that is supposed to streamline your iPhone experience. After experiencing Siri for the first time, I think Siri might be a hipster and kind of a tool. This scene opens with me getting into my car and turning on Siri: Technician Network

tudents from all over North Carolina have voiced their concerns about the various incidents occurring on their campuses. Many have said their campus police have failed in keeping them safe. However, the truth of the matter is that campus police are limited by their resources to respond in a certain way consistent to normal police responses.

Many campuses that experience safety incidents, including those of this month, are primarily public universities, which are usually open campuses. Many of the recent incidents have occurred in fairly large cities.

The accessibility of these campuses to the general public creates opportunities for safety issues to occur.

While the luxury of an open campus is a way to spread the college atmosphere to the community, it comes at a risk of break-down in campus security. Because of this, universities N.C. State especially—have a police

Universities all over North Carolina have had lapses in campus security, in some cases jeopardizing students’ safety. Campus police deal with these types of incidents in the best way they can.

Our Opinion:

Students should be aware of the limitation of Campus Police and that they do their best to uphold campus safety.

unit designed to respond quickly to important issues. This includes the quick response to blue light activations in security, as well as the safety escort service.

Campus Police works hard and effectively in responding to any suspicious activity posing a safety issue; however, with a limited budget, certain calls must take priority. They are also limited by the technology available to them. For example, the Wolf Alert system is limited by certain individuals’ cell phone providers as to when they get the alert text.

Students should be aware of the limitations of Campus Police and understand they are not jeopardizing our safety. Don’t point fingers until you know all the facts.

Music soothes the savage beast

usic is an integral part of life. Religious services use it to invite reverence into the audience, and at weddings, people choose a special song to express t he love they have for each other. We have special songs in our repertoire for Jon Lewis Staff Columnist birthdays and we blast tunes at social gatherings getting the mood set for a serious good time. As ingrained into our being as it is, it’s no surprise music has been capitalized on.

From the classical era through the modern era, musicians have been able to make a living, some more comfortably than others.

One would think affluence of a musician would have a robust, positive correlation with their musical talent.

However, as popular music has evolved the success musicians experience in their careers has less to do with their proficiency, but has relied more upon how prominent of a persona they

can make for themselves.

It was in the late 70s and early 80s when artists of popular music began tromping down the path of all show and no talent.

Leeching off the hard rock style and absurdist showmanship of Kiss and their ilk, 80 metal bands tried to make something supposedly harder, f a s ter a nd better. Soon they realized being good musicians is difficult but if they blew way out of proportion the rock star persona, people would like them so they could vicariously be just as “cool” as the awesome long-haired rock stars.

The success of one led to many. The 80 gave rise to the largest potluck of generic glam rock the world has ever seen.

With bands like Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Scorpion, Whitesnake and Poison, it’s a miracle we have any cows, hairspray or alcohol left in this world. Even though none of these bands are actually any good, they somehow still manage to have a cult following

among the poor souls that grew up on their music.

The 80s is also when the current pop genre really got its claws into our poor ears. The uppity beat and electric infusion 80s pop had has evolved quite a bit since its raspier origins but the style is really no different at its core. And just like the hair bands of the 80s, the pop stars of our generation s e e m more about appearing cool and glamorous than actually being a good musician.

The first offender in my memory of selling themselves instead of music is Britney Spears.

Who can honestly say that any of her songs are or ever were good? No one can. People liked her music for no other reason than she was an attractive female. Girls wanted to be like her and guys wanted to be with her.

The desire to feel linked to the star is what made people listen to her music. It was never about the music, really. Many others capitalized on the idea of selling themselves, Back-

“It’s a shame we have to be subjugated to music in such a sordid manner.”

Have an opinion?

We want to hear it.

“

street Boys, N’Sync, Jessica Simpson; none of them were selling music, they were all selling an image.

Once the novelty of being purely attractive wore out, pop artists had to come up with new images to sell to the public since being talented was out of the picture.

Something new had to be done but what else was there?

The genius conclusion was to be more ridiculous than anyone else and amass a cult following based on that.

Nowadays I learn more about musicians from gossip about something they did rather than them having a good song. The first thing I heard about Lady Gaga was that she wore a dress made out raw meat while accepting an award. I heard about Katy Perry in line at a grocery store from a magazine headline questioning whether she had kissed a girl or not. Who cares?

It’s a shame we have to be subjugated to music in such a sordid manner. The exhibitionism of the top suffocates so many attempts of the smaller, more dedicated bunch. The result is a deluge of generic, unintelligible drivel, which is perpetuated by nothing more than empty characters. What a travesty the music industry has become.

Vestique boutique finds a home on Oberlin Two alumnae open a shop as an expansion to their successful online boutique.

Kirsten Henning Correspondent

After successfully launching an online boutique, Vestique, just over a year ago, Morgan Genty and Caroline King have expanded their business to a storefront on Oberlin Road.

As their business continues to grow, these young women are enthusiastic about their futures in the fashion industry.

While their business began as an online venture, Genty and King made the decision to invest in a store due to an increasing number of clientele and a lack of space for their merchandise.

“Basically we just ran out of room,” Genty explained. “Between having inventory and shipping supplies and everything else in our home, it was no longer conducive for a growing business.”

Aside from their shared appreciation for fashion and shopping, Genty and King are both N.C. State alumnae. With a background in communications, Genty is able to manage advertising for Vestique. Meanwhile, King’s degree in business education allows her to handle the marketing aspect.

“Caroline [King] knows about the business side of running our store,” Genty said, “and I’ve been able to generate lots of positive, unpaid advertising for us with my PR background, so we’ve really done well.”

As their business grows, King and Genty find themselves dedicating countless hours to Vestique in an effort to insure its continued success.

“It’s been quite a journey,” Genty said. “Everyone associates owning a clothing boutique with the glitz and glam of the fashion world, but it is a lot of work. It’s more work than we ever anticipated, but it’s something we love to do.

Not everyone can say that they love their job, but we can say that hands down.”

With the opening of Vestique’s boutique and the ongoing revenue generated online, Genty and King are attracting

Pictured here in their store, Genty and King rock some of their merchandise during work on Sunday. Every item in their store is under $100, making everything a steal for women who wish to dress nice without breaking the bank.

plenty of business.

“We want our customers to know we’re here to offer them trendy clothing and accessory items at affordable prices,” Genty said. “The best prices they’ll find in Raleigh. We don’t want to break the bank.

We want everyone to look fashionable.”

Since Genty and King are both avid shoppers themselves, they are able to relate to their customers’ desires.

“We both love to shop, but we didn’t want to pay your typical boutique prices,” Genty said.

Genty and King developed Vestique’s collection to fit their standards. Vestique’s prices assure that every item is marked under $100. This allows customers to shop for trendy looks without having to splurge.

The chic assortment of clothing and accessories at Vestique is compiled from a wide range

of designers, primarily located on the west coast. The store has everything from decorative jewelry to elegant party dresses, all at an affordable price.

A particular collection, Vestique’s “Gameday” collection, is made for students, as Genty and King recognize the demand for stylish game day outfits.

“We heavily support N.C. State in any way we can,” Genty said.

However, the Gameday collection is not limited to the Pack’s red and white. Other schools, including UNC, Duke and Clemson, are among the universities featured in this exclusive collection.

During the month of November, Vestique is also offering customers the opportunity to contribute to a worthy cause.

November marks the month of pancreatic cancer awareness.

“Pancreatic cancer is a disease that people really don’t know about until they have been affected by it,” Genty said.

“We didn’t, at least. So we really just wanted to raise awareness.”

After their friend’s father lost his battle to pancreatic cancer in January of 2009, Genty and

King have helped to raise over $35,000 for PanCam, a national organization for pancreatic cancer research. This month, a portion of the proceeds on all purple purchases will be donated to PanCan. As Vestique continues to thrive, Genty and King look

forward to further expansion in the future. With the hopes of opening more boutiques and generating a sister website, these businesswomen aim to take the fashion world by storm.

Carolus apparel targets niche surf market Senior Josh Staab starts local surf apparel company and reaches out to regional retailers.

Anthony Romano Staff Writer

Top

Creative ambition drives the best of artists. Josh Staab, senior in civil engineering, certainly qualifies as an artist with ambition, with high hopes for the future of his fledgling company, Carolus. The company is surf inspired and primarily consists of surfing tees.

Staab and co-founders Jeremy Smith and Chris West created Carolus back in 2007.

The company has a very Steve Jobs-esque origin, with Staab and co-founders creating the company products out of their garage in Atlantic Beach. They started printing shirts by hand on their homemade manual press and continue to do so today.

“We taught ourselves everything from YouTube,” Staab said. “At first we built our own printing press, then we bought one off Craigslist.”

All Carolus apparel is printed with environmentally friendly water-based inks, which allows for an authentic and comfortable feel. The water-based ink sinks into the shirt made of stock cotton from American Apparel and becomes part of it, rather than heavy plastisol based shirts, which feel like a vinyl sticker resting on top of the fabric.

Though Carolus was born to humble beginnings, the company currently sells in six different venues along the North Carolina coast. According to Staab, word of mouth is the

best way to advertise due to its nonexistent price tag, but he has utilized other methods of advertising. In fact, Carolus was featured on the cover of Surf Carolina Magazine in 2009.

“We’ve had print ads in surf magazines, but surfing is about being creative and different,” Staab said. “We’re trying to get good footage so we can make something fun that people actually want to watch; it’s a little guerrilla marketing.”

For Staab, inspiration for Carolus derives from working in surf shops, a passion for surfing and a love for North Carolina. The name of the company, Carolus, is Latin for Charles, which is the namesake for Carolina, presenting the North Carolina loyalty.

“Carolus was born out of long nights working at surf shops at Atlantic Beach,” Staab said. “Three friends and I saw how bigger brands like Billabong were preaching out

Staab plans on expanding the products of the company in the near future. Expanding product range means a significant jump in production values for Carolus.

“Once the company gets going, we’re going to make the leap and go full time,” Staab said. “We want to start making some f lannels, board shorts, and definitely denim since we’re a North Carolina based company.”

Expanding may not be so easy. Staab and co-founders will have to fit into the market and compete with prominent brand names.

“The market is so over-saturated for surfing,” Staab said.

“There’s over 50 surf brands and they’re all doing the same thing.

The NCAA is an organization often harshly criticized for inconsistencies in penalties, but Doyle says there is a common misconception that they are the only ones making and administering the rules.

“T he most com mon misconception is that the NCAA is 300 people who sit in a very tall building in Indianapolis and they make the rules and they tell us what to do,” Doyle said. “Many think those are bad people who couldn’t find consistency if someone handed to them on a silver plate. And that’s not true.

“The people who make the rules, they sit on every single campus. The NCAA is a representative form of governance where one person is sent from each conference to represent the legislative views of that particular conference.”

So State itself votes on rules along with the other 11 ACC schools, and then a conference representative joins over 30 other representatives from other conferences across the country to decide what changes should be made to the rules.

It’s difficult to imagine the complication involved with collegiate athletics legislation and rules violations, but the fact of the matter is incredibly simple — if we don’t turn on ESPN and hear about State breaking rules, there’s a team of people dedicated to making that happen.

Gottfried chose against calling a timeout and let the final sequence play out for State. A Brown pass to Painter led to the go-ahead basket from the free throw line with 4.2 seconds left on the clock.

“I already knew it, once I got the ball I was [going to] shoot it,” Painter said. “I had that confidence. Lorenzo had that confidence in me, ‘I’m going to give it to you, Paint, and you [have to] knock it down.’”

A half-court heave from Hummer did not hit and the Pack survived to remain undefeated on the season.

“We’re in the infant stages of hopefully building something great here, but you need games like this where you [have to] dig down, you [have to] overcome some obstacles,” Gottfried said.

With 1:55 left in the half, graduate student Alex Johnson hit a big three that gave the Pack a three-point lead.

The final minute of the game proved to be a memorable one for the Pack.

After a Princeton foul took Brown to the free throw line with 30 seconds, he missed the one-and-one free throw, which led to a three from Princeton’s Davis to tie the game at 55 each

our players were able to turn around in the game, basically. We didn’t play well in the first half, and I think it takes a pretty mature team to change that,” Harper said. “I’m really proud of our players. The communication is exactly where it needed to be. We still have a lot of work to do, but we are really excited about where we can go.”

After a Wilmington three cut the lead down to 10, great defense and another bucket from Barrett kept State alive with 1:47 remaining. As the seconds dwindled down, the Pack brought the lead to 19 after another Barrett bucket, sealing the deal for the Pack with a final score of 83-64.

After the game, Coach Kellie Harper was impressed with her team’s performance but says they still have work to do.

A game-winning shot gives the Pack its third win of the year.

T he Sea hawk s (0 -3) would come into the game against the Pack (2-0) with an overall-offensive mindset, scoring as many points as possible.

At tip-off, the Seahawks set the tone early by draining a three-point bucket in the first moments the game.

While early turnovers in the game would normally hurt the Seahawks, good rebounding and three-point shooting would allow them to lead the game as State could not get transition buckets off Seahawk turnovers.

Eventually, State would hit a 6-0 run with great passing by sophomore point guard Myisha GoodwinColeman. More easy buckets would follow for State as the team would see its first lead with 4:48 left in the half, putting them ahead 32-21.

Both the Pack and the Seahawks would turn the ball over four consecutive times, as turnovers made a turn for the worse by both teams. With a three by senior guard Emili Tasler, State took the lead 3736 with one minute remaining in the half. After an original three-point play by the Seahawks, Wilmington retook the lead. Another Pack bucket followed, tying the game. The score remained tied for the remainder of the half at 39-39.

Two quick buckets to start the half by Holston gave the Wolfpack the boost they needed.

Holston enjoyed being back in the game, even though she felt her performance was “rusty.”

“Nothing gets you in game shape like the game,” Holston said. “By that being my first game, I felt rusty, but I played better in the second half.”

With a great pass from Goodwin-Coleman to Holston, the Pack saw its largest lead of the game at the time with a score of 50-45. State continued to increase its lead until Wilmington answered with a couple of baskets to reduce the lead to three.

Eventually, turnovers would yet again control the game.

Poor shooting by NCSU would keep the game close as the Seahawks climbed within four points with 8:50 remaining in the game.

Ironically, the N.C. State’s Athletics Compliance staff would like to keep it that way.

“If we’re off the radar a nd miniSean mize the issues we Fairholm have, then Deputy Sports we are doing Editor a great job,” Carrie Doyle, associate athletics director for compliance, said. “It’s kind of like the less you know about us, the better job we are doing.”

And in a day and age where collegiate athletic programs constantly trip over their own shoelaces, the art of abiding by NCAA regulations has become one of the hottest topics in the country.

From Southern Cal to Ohio State, UNC to Miami, national headlines have been recently inundated with phrases like “impermissible benefits,” “undisclosed dealings with agents” and “vacating wins.”

Helping State avoid associating itself with those phrases, Doyle is the head of a fiveperson staff exclusively dedi-
