PHASE I OF THE TALLEY STUDENT UNION WILL OPEN AT 4 P.M. TODAY Jacqueline Lee Correspondent
A little more than two years after its groundbreaking, the first phase of the Talley Student Union will open today at 4 p.m. Students now have access to four new dining options and the Tally Market. This is the first of three openings during the next year and a half. When the full building opens
in 2015, there will be even more dining options plus the bookstore and all other student organization spaces. “We are really excited to be able to finally give a date to our students because we know that they have been waiting very patiently. We look forward to the reactions of the students when they come through the doors,” said Jennifer Gilmore, director of communications for campus en-
terprises. Tally features Jason’s Deli’s first college location campus, Tuffy’s Diner, Los Lobos Mexican grill and Red Sky Pizza Company. Tuffy’s Diner has breakfast in the morning including waffles shaped like Tuffy’s head, dining food in the afternoon and a combination of both at dinner. Students can get pizza made from scratch in a wood stove fire deck at Red Sky Pizza.
The Tally Market has groceries, a Howling Cow ice cream section and a bakery section with a new executive pastry chef with a line of fresh baked goods. “We are really excited because we have been working for three years on planning and designing the facility, menus, and the recipes from the ground up,” Gilmore said. Randy Lait, the senior director of hospitality services in Campus
Enterprises. Lait said the Student Union makes a statement about the commitment the University has to its students. “If you look at what N.C. State is doing with the Talley Student Union, it is really making a positive statement about our commitment to our students, not only for the food but for what the entire building will mean to the student population,” Lait said.
Interest group looks to cap spending for college athletics Jake Moser News Editor
A network of academics from across the country is attempting to legally challenge athletics’ role at college campuses, but officials at N.C. State disagree with its plan of action. The Drake Group announced earlier this month that they are pursuing federal legislation to restructure the NCAA and what it emphasizes. “[We want to turn the NCAA] back into something more academic oriented, rather than just going all out professional,” said Allen Sack, a member of the Drake Group
and business professor at the University of New Haven in an interview with Inside Higher Ed. Members of the Drake Group also said they want to cap spending for NCAA athletic programs and redirect more sports-related income toward medical and academic benefits for student athletes. Although there is the notion that athletic programs haul in huge profits every year, which could make some of the Drake Group’s ideas possible, the University only made an $800,000 surplus last year from a budget of about $60 million, according to Director of Athletics Debbie Yow.
NCSU Student arrested, charged with peeping Staff Report
University Police arrested an N.C State student Tuesday for allegedly looking at two women over the top of their toilet stalls on Monday. Korey Jamal Williams, a sophomore in social work, was arrested at his dorm room on campus and was charged with two counts of peeping, Maj. David Kelly said. The two women notified University Police Monday afternoon and said the incidents occurred in the 1911 Building and Ricks Hall. University Police reviewed surveillance video footage
“There was not some large pot of money left,” Yow said. “You could point out a number of programs that amass millions of dollars, maybe Texas or Florida, but I think there are more programs that look like N.C. State where we put money back into the Olympic sports.” Yow said, because only basketball and football are revenue-producing sports, the money they produce is used to fund the other programs and scholarships. According to Inside Higher Ed, the Drake Group also wants to create a Board of Directors that could cap coaching staff sizes and income, sport expenditures, scholar-
you cannot prohibit what someone can make in a legitimate enterprise. For example, you can’t say, ‘well you’re a cardiac surgeon, so you should make twice as much as someone else in the hospital.’” Pardue also said many of the members of the Drake Group don’t come from institutions with strong academic or athletic backgrounds. Two of the three authors writing the proposed legislation come from the Vermont Law School and Smith College, according to Pardue and the group’s website. “The bulk of their membership appears to come from institutions that aren’t involved
in athletics, at least not on a national scene,” Pardue said. “I would argue that those from institutions, like Stanford, which has some of the best and brightest people in the world and that compete very well in the athletic realm should be a part of this discussion too. They may be well intended, but I’m not sure they represent institutions that are in the national scene athletically or academically.” The legislation could also restrict the number of sports events, the length of seasons and could limit games to weekends on academic holidays.

in the area and were able to produce a still image of the suspect, Police Chief Jack Moorman said. They then received numerous calls from the campus community providing the name of suspect in the photo. “We often talk about safety being a shared responsibility. It is the willingness of our students, faculty and staff to provide this level of involvement and interaction with us that help to keep our campus safe,” Moorman said. “We would not have been able to identify this individual if the campus had not responded the way it did.” A GT3 R Hybrid Porsche sits next to an image of a 1901 Porsche hybrid at the N.C.

ships and other aspects that deal with spending. Samuel Pardue, interim associate dean and director of CALS and a faculty athletics representative for N.C. State, found problems with the group’s proposal, especially its intent to limit coaching salaries. Pardue, who advises Chancellor Randy Woodson about the “interface between athletics and academics,” also chairs the N.C. State Athletics Council. “One of things I find odd about the proposal is that they want a cap on coaches’ salaries on all levels,” Pardue said. “The Supreme Court is going to strike that down…
