Packapalooza invigorates 125th celebration Jessie Halpern News Editor

After eight months of planning and more than 1,000 personnel hours logged, Packapalooza revitalized Wolfpack Welcome Week, bringing an estimated 30,000 people to Hillsborough Street Saturday.

Between 2 p.m. and 10 p.m., the festival engaged students, alumni and Raleigh residents in celebrating N.C. State’s 125th anniversary. The Raleigh Police Department closed Hillsborough Street for the event, keeping the area from Dan Allen Drive to the Pullen Circle free for the day’s festivities.

With vendors to rival the State Fair, activities to keep everyone occupied and a headlining act straight off Kelley Clarkson’s tour, Packapalooza was sure to please, thanks to the hard work of several key people.

Lauren Collier, a senior in animal science and Union Activities Board president, has been working on the event for eight months, along with many others.

“We’ve been working on the planning committee to coordinate volunteers, organize campus sponsors and get all the entertainment since early April,” Collier said.

UAB was Packapalooza’s largest financial sponsor. With an $85,000 contribution, it had the most on the line.

“It was sometimes difficult getting everyone on board about where we were spending the money, especially picking the headlining act because this was replacing Friday Fest,” Collier said.

UAB and the planning committee spent months deliberating the night’s headliner, and a roaring

up and joined them, playing guitar for one of the band’s songs.

“That was a surprising favorite of mine from the night,” said Justine Hollingshead, chair of the planning committee and director of the GLBT Center.

Hollingshead was among the group who devoted months to planning the event that, she said, was an overwhelming success.

“It was hard work and planning, with long nights, but it was beyond what we could have imagined,” Hollingshead said.

In total, there were more than 175

Student missionaries from Charisma Church congregated Saturday afternoon outside Carroll Residence Hall to perform a Renaissance themed play, telling the story of Jesus Christ.

Charisma Church is located off campus, but also holds Sunday services in Riddick Hall.

Recently, a group of missionaries from the church went to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, working with local churches and leading some of their services. Outreach programs allow the participating students and ministers to make connections and establish a broader worldview. Set up in a local square, some of the missionaries played music, and performed their play, “The Kingdom.”

“The Kingdom” is a play written by the pastor, Sean Park. An allegory about the story of the life of Jesus Christ, it is put to music, composed by the pastor, and completely pantomimed.

crowd made it known Carolina Liar was the right choice. In the past, Friday Fest was a separate event exclusive to students, but this year’s Packapalooza was inclusive to a larger crowd.

Chad Wolf, vocalist and guitarist for Carolina Liar, said the crowd’s reaction was unexpected, in a good way.

“We were shocked, actually,” Wolf said. “When we found out we got this show and it was this kind of party, we thought it was a really nice thing to be brought out for something like this.”

Wolf said the band was unsure whether they’d be able to fit Packapalooza in because they’re currently

on tour with Kelly Clarkson and The Fray. The night before the event they were in Pennsylvania, and thanks to strategic planning the band was able to make it to Raleigh on Saturday and get to New York for their show the following day.

“This was our first time here, and it was like playing for family—it was cool,” Wolf said. “Everyone getting that involved in the show, that doesn’t happen everywhere so that was a really cool thing.”

Wolf said Carolina Liar would love to revisit N.C. State and had a wonderful time playing for the students, but they weren’t the only ones who made it to the stage. Chancellor Randy Woodson unexpectedly got

Golden Belt art studios in Durham provided space for Triangle artists to design and construct cows for Cow Parade. Each cow is sponsored by a local business. The painted cows are now scattered across the state, with 11 in downtown Raleigh. After the parade, the works of art will be auctioned and the funds donated the N.C. Childrens Hospital.

The “Cow-ntdown” is now over Katie Sanders Senior Staff Writer

Black and white is boring – people prefer color. So Cow Parade took the concept that brighter-is-better and took it to an udderly new level— they applied it to cows.

“They really get your attention— you can’t not look at them,” Paula MacLeod, creator of a fiberglass bovine with a mosaic design called “Lady Carolina Bloo,” said.

Local pro and amateur artists alike, in partnership with the company Cow Parade, painted a herd of cow statues that will take up residence grazing around the Triangle

Area in the coming days.

“It’s a public art event—the main goal of each event we do is to put on a first class public art event that really spotlights a city’s local artists,” Ron Fox, vice president of Cow Parade, said.

The 80-plus cows created will be placed around the Triangle area­— here in Raleigh, Fayetteville Street will house a herd of 11 cows, while North Hills will be pasture to 11 more. The exhibit will continue until the beginning of December, and individual profiles and locations of specific cows should be up on the

Packapalooza reveals changes to campout Jessie Halpern News Editor

Andy Walsh, student body president, announced Saturday that the University’s campout tradition is being overhauled due to the realignment of the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Changes to the ACC mean N.C. State is no longer ensured a home

game against the UNC-Chapel Hill each year. Student Government is partnering with the University’s athletics department to coordinate a way to keep the tradition annual, according to Emerson Barker, senior in political science.

This year’s campout will take place Oct. 12 at the PNC Arena, a venue with the capacity to host abound 4,500 students.

Here, the basketball team can be part of the tradition, and students won’t have to sleep outside, come sleet or snow.

The biggest change, however, is in the loyalty points system. Instead of camping out for tickets to a single game, students who attend the new campout will be awarded six loy-

“We had extra people come in just to handle the inf lux of business we’ve had today, and I’m about ready to get out of here,” said Loretta Mann, a Jimmy John’s employee from the company’s Cary location.

Almost all of the res-

“Packapalooza was awesome, and now I get to go home and hibernate,” Walsh said.

The costumes are also designed in house, and sewn together by the pastor’s wife.

Sean Park is alum of East Carolina University, graduating with a degree in music. Park wrote the play and composed the score in the span of one week. Performers have two days to learn the play, cues and choreography.

Although they said they foundit fun, Erica Leek, Charisma Church missionary and wife of an N.C. State alum, said it’s not about the theatrics.

“We’re really not all that interested in drama,” Leek said. “The message is what’s important. It’s just a neat way to get the story out there.”

While there is no casting for roles in a theatrical sense, there is some “drama casting” during the training days leading up to the mission trip.

“We started to realize we’ve basically killed the tradition by making the changes we did last year,” Walsh said.

“We wanted to give incentive for people to take part in the tradition and make it a change that would be more interactive and more fun.

want to go on the trip, and pretty much, there are different roles that have different levels of ability,” Park said.

“Some roles are more dance heavy, some are more expression heavy.”

Charisma Church also has a television show in which some of the performers participate. Park notes that this makes them used to doing a lot of drama together.

The drama has been translated into Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, Japanese and Cantonese. It has been performed in Peru, Panama, Ecuador, Brazil and parts of Asia. Next year, Charisma Church plans on taking their show to the Dominican Republic.

One of the missionaries, Kenny Howell, senior in communication, spent his training learning Portuguese.

“I took a few semesters of Spanish, so I felt like I had a pretty good grasp of the language already,” Howell said.

“At one point I had to translate a sermon we gave after a

performance. It was exciting to know that I was able to share our message with people of a different culture.”

While all the performers are of college age, they have varying backgrounds.

“We’re all so different,” Leek said. “We’ve been brought together in Christ and that creates a bond that defies everything else.”

According to Vance Carrigan, senior in civil engineering, unity of different cultures is a big part of the missionary process.

“It’s incredible to see what all we have in common with each other,” Carrigan said. “It doesn’t even matter where you come from or what you’ve done, there’s always something there that connects you.”

Walsh said the new plan guarantees the basketball team will host the event in the future and be a part of it moving forward.

“We’ll have live music. It’ll be an awesome event,” Walsh said.

The target participation goal is over 4,000 students, but Walsh realizes some may be disappointed.

“We’re looking at ways to improve what we do this year in January to make that week special since we will be

playing UNC at home this year,” Walsh said. “For me, the benefits far outweigh the negatives.”

Walsh is excited for the new campout as it will be the next big student event.

He said Student Government has been working tirelessley, and Barker agrees.

“While we recognize that it is a shift, we hope the change will bring out more students than ever to enjoy a new form of the tradition we all love,” Barker said.

{ ISHAN’S VIEW }

Pussy Riot and Assange issues reveal U.S. hypocrisy

I

n February, the Russian feminist punk band Pussy Riot performed an impromptu “punk-prayer” in Moscow’s hallowed Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in protest against President Putin’s controIshan Raval versial reelection and the Guest Columnist Russian Orthodox Church’s political sway. For more than six months, their case has become a global cause célèbre. This past Friday, three members of Pussy Riot were sentenced to two years imprisonment for “hooliganism” motivated by “religious hatred.” Both within and beyond Russia, their treatment has been regarded as oppressive, their trial frivolous, and the verdict a grossly unfair, politicallymotivated attack on free speech.

Following worldwide shows of solidarity from human rights groups, artists and citizens, the U.S. Department of State has also voiced its support for Pussy Riot, saying that it is “concerned” by the “disproportionate” verdicts. Spokesperson Victoria Nuland has called for Russian authorities to “ensure that the right to freedom of expression is upheld.”

Indeed, Russia should do that. However, we here should pay attention to the almost laughable contradiction of the U.S. government snatching for itself the moral high ground

of being the purveyors of democracy. Ironically, though perhaps unsurprisingly, the U.S. is making such statements when due to its own pressure exerted overseas, British police have surrounded the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, and the U.K. has unethically threatened to remove both the diplomatic standing of the Embassy building and the news publisher who has been granted political asylum in it.

Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks, has been legitimately granted asylum in Ecuador because the U.K. is having him extradited to Sweden, from where he validly fears extradition to the U.S. In Sweden, he is wanted for questioning over allegations of rape. He has not been formally charged, as there simply is not enough evidence for that, and the allegations are shrouded in controversy because of the credibility of the accusing parties and the extremely broad definition of rape in Sweden. He has offered Swedish authorities the chance to interrogate him in London, which is normal procedure in transnational legal proceedings, but they

have declined him. He has also offered to go to Sweden for questioning with the assurance that he would not be extradited to the US, which too has been declined.

Because of his work with Wikileaks, a secret grand jury in the U.S. has already been reported to have issued a sealed indictment against Assange. Prominent U.S. politicians of both parties have called for his assassination or life imprisonment as a spy or a terrorist, which could happen if he is convicted under the 1917 Espionage Act (an adjudication which some commentators hold would violate the First and 14th Amendments). The same Victoria Nuland quoted previously has insinuated toward his probable prosecution in the U.S. However, any of this happening will too be an attack on free expression and democracy. Even if Wikileaks’ activities are judged illegal by American courts, their legitimitacy from a holistic democratic perspective is unambiguous. Wikileaks exposed misuses of power, by the U.S. government and others,

“The U.S. government has not prosecuted the publication of classified information in all instances.”

to an extent never before seen in history. The news media is called the Fourth Estate of democracy—its role is to report the misdeeds of and keep a check on the government, and that is what Wikileaks has been doing. The documents released by Wikileaks details offenses, including the mass-murder of civilians, and displays the cavalier attitude held by diplomats regarding the same. Such information should not be secret to begin with, and so, its dissemination is not just an exercise of free expression, but a service to democracy.

The U.S. government has not prosecuted the publication of classified information in all instances. In fact, the government itself has leaked extremely sensitive material which showed potential as propaganda, such as the recent New York Times revelations about President Barack Obama’s kill-lists and cyberwarfare. Thus, the crusade against Wikileaks and Assange is not only an assault on press freedom, but viewed in conjunction with Washington’s own leaks and its statements regarding Pussy Riot, highlights an ugly fact about the U.S. government: It supports free expression and democracy when they are useful to its own image and power, but will do anything to restrict them when they are not.

{OUR VIEW} Know your rights

U

n i ve r s i t y s t u dents can’t count on mommy and daddy to make the world safe for them anymore, especially insituations dealing with the landlord-tenant relationship.

Friday, Aug. 17, Technician reported stories about Wolf Creek residents who said they were unhappy with the condition of their apartments at the time they moved in. Just weeks before that story, it was reported in the News and Observer that Campus Crossings was overcharging students for their utilities.

Upset tenants took to the Wolfpack Students Facebook group to voice their concerns and to see if any others were having similar experiences.

The complaints from students living at Wolf Creek ranged from messy units with broken furniture to flea infestations.

Students need to be proactive about getting issues like this resolved, especially since a substantial percentage of the student body lives off campus.

Obviously, the first recommended course of action is to politely bring any problems or concerns to the attention of your landlord or property manager.

However, we don’t live in a perfect world, and things don’t always go according to plan. For those times, it’s important that student tenants know their rights and the avenues they can take to exercise them.

The N.C. Attorney General’s website spells out landlord and tenant rights in an online handbook, which is available to anyone who visits their page (http://www. ncdoj.com/files/consumer/ landlord-tenant-booklet. aspx).

Section 10 of the booklet states, “This part of the Residential Rental Agreements Act requires the landlord to have the premises in good and fit condition when the tenant first moves in, and it also requires the landlord to maintain the premises so that they stay that way.”

Contrary to what some of your friends may have told you, it is not permissible for you to withhold rent if repairs are not made in a timely manner. Other states allow tenants to do this, but North Carolina does not, unless your landlord agrees to such terms in writing. If tenants have to pay for repairs out of their own pockets, then the landlord must reimburse them.

The Attorney General’s website also lets consumers file complaints if tenants decide to take legal action.

However, if the situation merits legal action, then students should be aware of the free legal service N.C. State provides to fee-paying students.

Legitimate complaints or concerns should go beyond conversations with friends or posts on Facebook.

{ JOSEPH’S VIEW} Fragments

I

t’s the start of the semester. Classes have resumed, meaning, yes, there will be writing.

A lot of writing. In honor of you r Joseph future Harvey hand Guest cramps Columnist I wou ld like to tell you of my love affair with fragments (yes, you read that right).

I adore fragments. No, not the fragments that look as if someone took a shotgun and sprayed periods over what should be a sentence. Those rapid fire strings of words are reserved for the hyperventilating—Oh. My. Gosh.

I just. Wrecked. My car.

The family of fragments that I have fallen for are the emphatic fragments— the fragments that can sum up a point so well, they don’t need a subject and verb. You’ll most often find these fragments answering a rhetorical question. How often will this take place? Quite often. There is a tremendous amount of swaying power in forcefully answering

your own question because it effectively shuts down all other responses—it’s so quick it’s as if you’re learning multiplication tables. Here’s the question. Then the answer.

Patrick Henry’s highly effective “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” speech is wrought with rhetorical questions that are then answered immediately (seriously, go Google it right now).

The other likely place you will find fragments is at the end of a long, complicated sentence filled with commas, semicolons, and perhaps colons—even a dash or parenthetical insert could be involved—because after all of this, putting a fragment to sum it up again emphasizes the point you were trying to make. Very effectively, too.

The long sentence gives all the background information, the charts, graphs, statistical analyses; the fragment is the abstract. It’s that thing you read when you don’t really care to read the entire scholarly journal, because all you need is one quote.

Why are these strings of words—I guess that’s what I’ll have to call them since

I can’t call them sentences — so ef fect ive ?

Well, first, there’s the less is more deal. People get tired of long-windedness; a short, abrupt response is much more likely to earn their full attention. Secondly, since fragments break the rules (gasp!) then our subconscious is more likely to pay attention because they are out of the ordinary. For the most part, our grammar teachers were right in warning us from breaking the almighty rules of English (comma splices are never a good idea, and please, for goodness sake, don’t ever use the non-word “irregardless”), but every now and then a good rule breaking can leave us with a positive after-effect. Fragments.

They are employed by good writers all the time.

And can be used by you.

Rhea Ormond, creator of “Moo-hay”, was particularly touched by the exhibit’s cause. She has a friend whose young son had passed away, and had participated for that reason.

“The whole time I painted I thought of her little boy,” Ormond said. “It’s so great that you can do art that’s helping people, especially children.”

Men’s soccer takes down Wilmington in preseason State recieves votes in AP Poll

Andrew Schuett Staff Writer

With less than two weeks before N.C. State begins the 2012 college football season in Atlanta, the Pack received three votes in the initial AP Poll and will unofficially start the season at No. 39 in the country. NCSU has four opponents (No. 7 Florida State, No. 14 Clemson, North Carolina and Tennessee) who are either ranked or received more votes in the preseason poll. No. 16 Virginia Tech joins Florida State and Clemson as the only ranked teams in the ACC. SOURCE: ESPN

Track and Field staff adds new sprint and multi-event coach N.C. State track and field has hired Eric Broadbent as the new sprint and multi-event coach, as announced by head coach Rollie Geiger on Friday.

Broadbent joined the Wolfpack staff after serving as a volunteer assistant coach last season. Prior to coming to the University, Broadbent was an athletic development coach at Athletic Lab, where he trained athletes of all levels, ranging from scholastic to professional. He implemented strength, conditioning and speed programs for many elite athletes, including members of the Carolina Railhawks soccer club.

Broadbent attended West Chester University, where he was a three-time All-American in the long jump, triple jump and high jump. Broadbent qualified for the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials, where he finished 14th.

Former Pack golf standouts shine in Greensboro Past N.C. State golfers Tim Clark and Carl Pettersson are in contention at the Wyndham Championship, a PGA Tour event at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro. Clark, in a tie for second before play was suspended on Sunday, was roommates with Pettersson some 16 years ago in Raleigh. Pettersson, who finished in a tie for third at the PGA Championship last week, will start play on Monday morning at 9 a.m. five shots behind leader Sergio Garcia.

The men’s soccer team beat UNC-Wilmington Saturday by the score of 3-1. Goals were scored for State by sophomore forward Monbo Bokar in the 26th minute, junior attacking midfielder Alex Martinez in the 38th minute and junior midfielder Robert Beatty in the 78th minute.

Other stars of the match for the Wolfpack included junior forward Nazmi Albadawi, who dished out two assists, and junior goalkeeper Fabian Otte, who produced good saves and allowed no Seahawk goals. His first save happened early in the game keeping State from going down 0-1.

After Bokar netted the first goal for State, assisted by Albadawi, the Seahawks threw more momentum into their attack trying to tie the game at 1-1. However, Otte came up big again for the Wolfpack by making another good save to deny the Seahawks its breakthrough goal. Soon after Otte’s second stop of the night, State doubled its lead through Martinez off of Albadawi’s second assist.

With State leading 2-0 at halftime, Findley took the opportunity to give some of his other squad players a run-out. Starting goalkeeper Otte was replaced by freshman keeper Joe Mills. Mills

and the State defense kept the Seahawk attack quiet for most of the second half while Beatty scored on the other end for the Pack to make the score 3-0.

UNCW got on the score sheet in the 86th minute with a goal, but they could do no more as the game ended 3-1 in favor of the Wolfpack.

Redshirt junior forward Meagan Proper moves to block a pass during the soccer game against Cincinnati at Dail Soccer Stadium Sunday, Aug. 19, 2012. The Wolfpack fell to the Bearcats 3-1.

Sean Fairholm Deputy Sports Editor

In a game where the Pack threatened to score nearly every time a rain drop sprinkled down onto the turf at Dail Soccer Stadium, the scoreboard only had space for the result instead of how it ended up there.

For the second time in as many games, N.C. State (0-2, 0-0 ACC) outshot its opponent and controlled the pace offensively only to give up multiple goals on defensive breakdowns.

Sunday afternoon’s 3-1 loss in the home opener to Cincinnati (1-0-1, 0-0 Big East) followed a 2-0 defeat at Old Dominion to start the 2012 campaign, which is led by fourth year head coach Steve Springthorpe.

“Possession isn’t always every-

thing, unfortunately,” Springthorpe said. “Even taking more shots isn’t everything. It’s about putting the ball in the back of the net. And that has not been something we have been able to do these first two games.”

At halftime, NCSU led 11-3 in shots taken and had five more corners than the Bearcats. Despite the offensive pressure and control, the Wolfpack gave up a pair of unassisted blasts in transition from 30 yards out.

“Ultimately, we have given up five goals in the two games, and that is very uncharacteristic of our team for the past couple of years,” Springthorpe said. “We’ve always done well defensively, and so we’ve got to make some adjustments and do some things differently.”

Throughout the game, Cincinnati was able to counter and stretch the

field vertically while State’s defense and goalie scrambled to halt the breakout. The Bearcats, who began the season with a tie at Elon to start the season, took advantage of the several breakaway opportunities they had.

“When you have possession of the ball in someone’s half of the field a lot, then ultimately it becomes a transition game,” Springthorpe said. “We would make a bad pass and then they would transition to a forward who’s trying to get in behind, and that is going to happen to you. We have to do a better job of limiting those things.”

The high point of the afternoon came when forward freshman Caroline Gentry netted her first collegiate goal on a cross from redshirt sophomore Jennie Krauser. Gentry’s header sliced into the top left corner of the net and momentarily made it

Steve Springthorpe SOCCER continued page 7

Volleyball gave the Wolfpack faithful its first look at the 2012 roster with the Wolfpack Challenge, an inter-squad scrimmage in Reynolds Coliseum where the team is split into two teams, Red and White. Players are also interchanged between the teams over the course of the game. Senior setter Megan Cyr was the only player that didn’t switch teams.

The Red team came out on top of the White squad, 3-1.

“We didn’t go with one starting lineup,” head coach Bryan Bunn said. “We put people out there in different spots to see how they would perform. We still have four more days we’ll have to practice to get ready for the College of Charleston but we still have to get into the gym and practice.”

The team also introduced five new faces to the fans in this scrimmage but the Pack only has four upper classmen on its roster.

“We’re young still, there’s only two seniors, and so we are inexperienced,” Cyr said. “But I think that’ll calm as the season goes on.”

The first set of the match remained close throughout. After the White squad took a 14-11 lead Red went on a 4-1 run to tie the set at 15. Despite its run, the Red side wasn’t able to keep the momentum and the White team was able to pull away with the win, 25-19, to claim the first set.

The Red team flipped the script for the second set of the match
