IN BRIEF CNN Hero, nonprofit founder to speak at Stewart Theatre

NC State’s Goodnight Scholars Program will host Derreck Kayongo tonight from 6:30 p.m. until 8 p.m. in the Stewart Theatre in Talley Student Union. Kayongo will discuss his experiences that transformed him from a child refugee in Africa to one of the most respected leaders in the nonprofit world. In 2009, Kayongo and his wife created The Global Soap Project, an NGO that repurposes partially used soap from hotels into soap for populations suffering from poor sanitation. The Global Soap Project produces 30,000 bars of soap per week and has donated more than half a million bars of soap to more than 20 countries.

Kayongo’s efforts led him to be recognized as a Top 10 CNN Hero in 2011.

After about an hour of protesting in front of the Governor’s Mansion on Thursday in response to Gov. Pat McCrory’s signing of a bill that places further restrictions on acceptable identification for persons of undocumented status, six protesters rushed into the street and chained themselves together to block traffic in front of a banner that read “Stop the Hate; We Make America Great.”

The six protesters were arrested later in the evening after emergency crews had to cut them out of their chains and other bindings.

While chained to her companions, Nayely Irais Perez-Huerta shouted, “We are going to continue to organize, we are going to continue to fight, we are going to continue to stand with other marginalized communities, this is not the end!”

A crowd of more than 100 Hispanics and non-Hispanics chanted, “Money for jobs and education; not war and deportation,” among other slogans, while gathered in protest of House

A sold-out crowd chanted “Tori!

Tori! Tori!” in anticipation of this year’s PackHowl Homecoming concert performer Tori Kelly Thursday night at The Ritz. What the crowd didn’t expect was pop artist Johnny Stimson from Dallas, Texas, taking the stage as the opening act rather than contest winners Ladies in Red and Jordan Williams.

“He was good, but I just thought his music was a little too slow for an opening act,” said Margaret Edwards, a junior studying Spanish education, regarding Stimson’s performance.

The NC State a cappella group and WIlliams performed at Campout for the opportunity to open for Kelly, but due to management conflicts, they weren’t allowed to perform on stage. They found out

NC State alumni, faculty who previously taught in Harrelson Hall and members of the Harrelson deconstruction team gather for a tour of the building. More than 90 percent of the building is planned to be recycled or reused as a part of NC State’s sustainability program. After deconstruction, the footprint of the building will be landscaped into green space and footpaths. A Science Commons classroom building, which is already on the university’s list of potential capital projects, is at the top of the list to be Harrelson’s replacement.

The locks were broken open for Harrelson Hall’s final tour on Friday, organized by Wake County Alumni Association Service Chair Barbara Day. Set for demolition during the summer of 2016, Harrelson Hall has stood as a landmark on campus since 1961.

Alumni say the building was both a blessing and a curse.

Chancellor Randy Woodson will become the highest-paid chancellor in the UNC System this year, according to WRAL. A privately funded bonus provision included in his contract in July makes Woodson eligible for a $200,000 annual stipend paid for by the N.C. State

University Foundation. The nonprofit foundation is used to raise money for the university privately and is closely tied to NC State.

The contract does not guarantee Woodson will receive the entire stipend each year, but paired with his current

“That was out of our hands,” said UAB President Blaise Bolemon, a senior studying graphic design.

“We had to work with multiple managers and Tori’s people. We also worked with people in Nashville who they had difficulty with the timing of things.”

Ladies in Red and Williams performed separate acts outside the venue to people waiting in line while the doors were still closed instead of singing on stage. The singers had a much smaller audience than expected because many people arrived after the doors opened and didn’t get there early enough to hear them.

“It was definitely a letdown, but at least we got to be here,” said Ladies in Red’s Paula Calandra, a junior studying nutrition science.

Turning Point USA is a nonprofit organization with a recently founded NC State chapter that seeks to educate students on political issues and promotes free-market capitalism, limited government and fiscal responsibility. Current members of the NC State chapter educated students about the debt crisis and gave out free slices of a cake with the national debt written in red icing on it in an event called “Cutting the Debt.” When asked what he thought after checking out Turning Point USA, Lee said, “It’s a good organization. I support both parties, and we all have a free choice.

Len White was one of the first students to experience having class in Harrelson, recalling the fall semester of 1963. He remembers how the building was originally color-coded to ease the confusion of getting around, but the color has since faded.

With Harrelson Hall being a defining part of the Br ick ya rd today, W hite harkens back to when there was no such thing. “The Brickyard wasn’t there. It was mud. A lot of mud. And there were wooden planks that went out across the Brickyard, and you had to kind of dodge your way in to get to the building.”

The building held 103 staff offices and 58 classrooms, with a holding capacity of 4,500 students.

It has a trademark musty smell and an ascending circular ramp. It was generally found confusing to navigate by alumni and still is today.

Domnick said that as soon as the office knew of the change, it notified students and let them know the office can help them access available loan funds they had not already used to fill the gap.

“We know this is a serious issue for the 78 affected students, but it is not one that NC State has any control over or responsibility for,” Domnick said.

The building was constructed during the reign of Chancellor John Caldwell from 1959 to 1975 along with Bragaw Hall, Cox Hall, Carmichael Gy m, Mann Hall, Thomas Hall and the former bookstore.

According to University A rchitect Lisa Johnson, NC State underwent more change from 2000 to 2011 than any other time in its history. Along with Park Shops, the 1911 Building and Withers Hall, Harrelson Hall was also originally meant to be renovated.

“We actually got funding to renovate this building,” Johnson said. “And as we started getting into it and looking at it and studying the building, we came to find out that you couldn’t put enough money into the building to make it a good classroom building.”

The low ceilings in the classrooms provide a bad line of sight for students.

Harrelson Hall is undergoing deconstruction over the next year, after being open for students and faculty since November 1961. Harrelson will be replaced by a rectangular building once there is enough funding in place for it. The last couple of classes to reside within Harrelson’s halls will be relocated before the complete deconstruction begins in the spring semester.

Harrelson doesn’t meet the Americans with Disabilities Act regulations of 1990.

According to Josh Griffin with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., the demolition won’t include implosions or wrecking balls, to many people’s disappointment. Instead, an excavator with a long arm attachment will be placed inside a “slice” of Harrelson and

eat around the building.

He compared it to a game of Pac-Man. Liz Bowen with the University Sustainability Office says they are hoping to salvage 90 percent of Harrelson’s resources—about 700 trucks worth of material including chairs, whiteboards, fire alarms, and so on. Materials will be sold by Habitat for Humanity, and

the fire department is also taking doors and hinges for training. Firef ighters need to know how to break in doors—the heavier the better—and Harrelson happens to have heavy-duty industrial doors.

Some greenery will f lourish in Harrelson’s place af ter it meets its demise when the seniors graduate in the spring. According to

Bowen, not too much will be invested in this garden area because it is only a temporary addition to the Brickyard. Plans for a new project named the Science Commons Building are underway but are not yet set in stone. This new building might not be around for another decade, but Griffin guarantees it won’t be cylindrical this time.

cities which do not enforce anti-immigration laws. Proponents of the bill feel that it protects the rule of law and the ability of authorities to enforce the law.

NC State students Yerson Padilla, Bianca Olivares and Jorge Pacheco were in attendance.

“Just because you don’t have a government-issued ID doesn’t necessarily mean you shouldn’t have water at your house,” said Pacheco, a senior studying technology, engineering and design education, referring to the difficulty of paying bills that would come from the changes to ID requirements.

“I just feel like it’s a basic human right to have these kind of

things, and the fact that it’s being taken away because it’s not government-issued stuff is not good; it’s not what we should be going for in the U.S.” Representatives of the North Carolina Republican Party were also in attendance. Ricky Diaz, senior communications advisor for the NCGOP, has a personal connection to the battle over immigration.

“As someone whose father came here legally from Cuba, I think it’s important to understand that there are two sides to this,” Diaz said. “Let’s start with what this bill actually does—it ends the policy of non-cooperation among law enforcement officers when it comes to enforcing immigration laws.”

The “policy of non-cooperation” refers to the sanctuary cities which Diaz said is where

politicians are trying to control how police officers do their duties.

With the crowd chanting behind him, Diaz said there needs to be an honest discussion about the issue of immigration.

“A true intellectually honest discussion about this bill really looks at what this does and not some of the ‘fanning the flame’—passionate arguments on both sides as it relates to the broader immigration issue,” Diaz said.

Diaz said that the polarization over this bill came from Hillary Clinton who, among other groups, pressured McCrory to veto the bill.

One of the groups to pressure McCrory over the bill was the Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Raleigh. Rick Miller-Haraway, a representative of the group, invoked the words of

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2015 • PAGE 3

Pope Francis in his recent visit to the United States in opposition to HB 318.

“Pope Francis just came to this country, and he said we need to welcome the immigrant; we need to be a people of mercy, and this bill is about anything but that,” MillerHaraway said. “It’s not only an anti-immigrant bill—it’s a bill against people who are struggling to get jobs and to be employed.”

Dallas Woodhouse, former state director of Americans for Prosperity and now the leader of the NCGOP, tweeted during the demonstration that it was an example of “more vocal support of law breaking” and “support for illegal immigration” calling the participants “noisy” and saying they were distracting police from their normal duties.

Woodhouse founded Carolina Rising, a conservative political nonprofit that has been supportive of McCrory and other Republican state leaders including Sen. Thom Tillis.

However, Padilla, a junior studying women’s and gender studies, said this law makes it harder for immigrants to be successful in the United States.

“I know several friends and their families affected by [HB 318 becoming law], and I feel that it takes away from the quote-unquote ‘American Dream,’” Padilla said. “I feel like it’s very wrong as a state, even as a nation. Let’s not forget the history of the U.S.—why are we making it hard for immigrants, especially undocumented immigrants, to try to achieve that American Dream that we always talk about and discuss in our schools?”

Susan Lugo, who has been in America since 2012 and currently has six generations of her Hispanic family living in North Carolina, attended another protest on Saturday afternoon. The governor and first lady held an Adopt-aPet event on the lawn of their mansion the same afternoon, right across the street from the protest. According to Lugo, McCrory completely ignored the protest.

“Really? This country cares more about cats and dogs than they do about human beings?

Especially productive human beings?” Lugo said. “America is a country of immigrants; why are Hispanics the only ones being targeted?”

Talking about talking: Wolfpack Students is toxic F

or those of you who do not already know, there is a rather large Facebook group of more than 13,000 members called “Wolfpack Students,” also known as WPS. Student Government originally created the page so it could foster the exchange of student ideas and gauge public opinion on policies (in the rare event that they actually create one of substance).

Gabriel However, as most things on DeCaro the Internet go, the group has Assistant Opinion Editor morphed into another beast entirely. The most charitable description for WPS’s state of affairs is a public forum where people go to ask for advice, advertise for their organization or gauge opinions on current events. A more accurate depiction for the group is an inherently destructive environment where civil discussion and productive dialogue is replaced by discord and vitriol.

Take recent events for example: a “CMT v BET” party was hosted at The Retreat. For many, this was perceived as an act of racism akin to blackface parties; for others, the party should have been protected under freedom of expression. On WPS, many articles were shared, thereby setting threads ablaze with polemics. Rather than agreeing that there might be problems here on NC State’s campus with de facto racism or discussing issues of free speech, commenters split themselves into two camps.

Seeking to win the approval of the ideologically similar, the rhetoric used in these “discussions” amounted to no more than regurgitated oneliners and condescending straw-man attacks.

Arguments were not waged to develop consensus or enlighten, but rather to stroke egos with

confirmation bias.

Threads such as these are not dialogues in which the extensive nuances of a problem are discussed and analyzed in an effort to bring about a remedy to the issue. They are not debates in which evidence is presented in a systematic manner as both sides construct their arguments and respectfully critique the other side.

The culture of WPS has internalized a toxic metaphor as its model for argumentation: war. In an “Us vs. Them” bout of “wits,” strong, airtight arguments that put the opposition on the ropes emerge as victorious while the flawed individual is marked as an abject loser. This intellectually debilitating paradigm emphasizes tactics over content (since the only objective is winning rather than discovering truth) and exacerbates the dichotomy between “We” and “You” in a polarizing manner.

This isn’t news; we see this dialectical view of argumentation entrenched in other elements of our society. Our legal system is built on adversarial rhetoric with the notion of winning or losing defined by convincing the jury while our political process is firmly rooted in the tradition of fiery speeches made on the bully pulpit.

The war model has dominated our rhetoric, so much so that it has come to define the way that we conceive and conduct ourselves within an argumentative setting. Thankfully, reality is mutable; we can change culture through our perceptions and actions.

We as a student body must hold our heads high and raise our standards for the quality of rhetoric that we use. We must work toward finding our community’s problems and discussing socially optimal solutions. And most of all, as the old adage goes, we shouldn’t feed the trolls.

Nothing fun about the flu R

ight around this week was when I planned to get my flu shot last year. “Planned” is the key word here. Like every other college student, I got busy. Project this and homework that, friends yesterday, meeting toMissy morrow. To put it simply, I forFurman got. I mean it’s just a shot that Correspondent might not even help me with a sickness that I probably won’t get to begin with, right? Wrong.

Later on in February, my throat felt a little scratchy for a day or two. I didn’t think much of it because between cheering at the basketball games and breathing in all the winter air outside, of course it might feel a little less than fine.

But soon it wasn’t just a little bit, and it wasn’t just my throat. I was shivering while studying in my dorm with the heat on, wearing sweatpants, a sweatshirt, my North Face fleece jacket, Ugg boots, a scarf, gloves and a ski hat. If that doesn’t say “fever” then I’m not sure what does.

No longer able to come up with excuses to blame the weather for why it felt like Antarctica in my 74-degree dorm room, I thought I better go to Student Health. There was only one problem.

So yes, this is kind of embarrassing because I’m 19 years old, but I had never been to the doctor’s office without my mom or dad. (But I’m not too embarrassed about it because, admit it, Wolfpack, I’m not the only one.) I never had to fill out all those papers with those medical terms: family history, medications, 102 yes-or-no circles—all with the same answer of “I don’t know.” Except that’s never an option. It’s hard to remember that condition you had when you were 3 years old and that 18-syllable name for the medicine you picked up from CVS four years ago. Like… can I phone a friend? But really, please?

{

IN YOUR WORDS

Panicking aside, I had the flu. Suddenly, I remembered I still needed to get my flu shot. Well, too late for that now. Thanks, memory.

The good news is that NC State’s Student Health Center couldn’t be more accessible. I was easily able to make an appointment online for later that day, and when I was still sick a few days later, walk-in hours allowed me to wait no longer than 10 minutes before I got the medical attention I needed.

Fortunately, I didn’t have a reason before this incident to realize all the benefits Student Health has to offer. I never even walked into the building prior to getting the flu. Conveniently equipped with labs, a pharmacy and friendly doctors and nurses who help you answer all those confusing questions, it’s nice to know how many people here are willing to take care of you when your family isn’t on campus.

Take advantage of these benefits this month and sign up for a flu shot. (Maybe vaccines aren’t your thing, and that’s fine, but at least eat some oranges with Vitamin C and wash your hands.)

I’d say my name was already first on the list, but I didn’t hesitate to get mine back in August before coming back to NC State. No way was I going to take my chances again this year.

Anyway, the fact that you probably won’t get the flu this season doesn’t mean you’re “too cool for the flu.” Don’t be the roommate who asks for slushies from Talley Student Union all week because even the coldest thing won’t relieve your throat. Don’t be the classmate who gets your half of the lecture row sick too. (Been there, done that. Sorry guys.) Take it from me: If you have the chance to get a flu shot, think twice before deciding to forget about it. After all, there’s nothing fun about the flu.

The abuse of the Snapchat story W

henever I have a few minutes to spare before class, I usually go through and check up on all of my social media applications, the first of which is Snapchat. After seeing “Recent Updates” Katherine displayed, I start with the Hughes bottom and work my way Correspondent up (you don’t want to seem too eager for the people who just posted), tapping through all of the stories people have shared within the last 24 hours.

Amongst these stories, we see several repeated plot lines. One is the partygoer.

This person has proceeded to post a more than 100-second story that consists of shaky footage of a dark room with blaring music in the background. Accompanied by other people you don’t know, the group of them dance, scream and occasionally take a blurry still shot with drinks in their hands.

Don’t get this confused with another similar story. The concertgoer has decided that you should get the opportunity to view every song from the concert he or she is at, but only in 10-second increments that are accompanied by the sound of one’s own voice.

Next is the selfie story. Somebody was feeling extra cute that day, so instead of posting one picture, he or she posts several from every angle so that you can see all of his or her outfit, hair and facial expressions.

Additionally, ever since the new update, every day you get informed about which funny filters there are to choose from, that allow your friends to puke rainbows, look like old grannies or make their faces catch on fire.

We’ve most likely at one point in time been all of those people. Snapchat is, after all, a way that we can document our everyday lives through pictures and text in a way that is less permanent and approval-seeking than Instagram or Twitter. There isn’t a competition for the most likes, nobody needs to favorite or retweet you to make the post seem valid, and it goes away in 24 hours so nobody can hold you accountable for anything that you post. In addition to you, the poster, feeling good about your own post, you get a lot of satisfaction from watching entire collections of other people’s stories.

This satisfaction has given people more affirmation than ever that everything they post is relevant. For example, some followers post a picture of their cars on their stories daily. Slightly above-average cars, nice

and everything. After a while, we get the point. If they were to do that on Instagram, eventually their number of likes would go down, but on Snapchat, these people are rewarded every day by the same number of people viewing those stories.

When we post something on our Snapchat stories, we experience this false sense of importance. We know people are going to see this. Where one would think this would cause us to be more hesitant when posting something, it actually makes us feel freer to post whatever we want. For some, this means post after post of the same thing.

We sometimes can become concerned more about how to make an event seem like the best ever than actually making it the best ever. This is how we abuse our Snapchat stories—when we are posting without actually considering what others think about it or want to see, but just for the endorphins that get released when we see a high number of views.

If you’ve had the app long enough, you’ve seen how Snapchat has developed into such a prevalent part of our lives. At first, you could only send pictures to your friends that lasted for at most 10 seconds.

Snapchat has changed so much with the creation of the story; it even offers stories from news stations and magazines that can let you follow a major event or let you see snaps specifically from another location.

Politicians this year are using Snapchat to reach out to voters and inform them of where they are and what efforts they are taking. Snapchat has progressed to being one of the top social media platforms very quickly; with a net worth of more than $10 billion, it has greatly expanded in attention and usage during the past year.

To go against this progression of Snapchat would be wrong, as we are at the age where we should rightly get to experience these features as they are being debuted.

As millennials, we have followed Snapchat from the beginning. We should absolutely make use of the new features that not only Snapchat, but all social media platforms, are putting out there.

But, where is the line? Should we be more preoccupied in recording events for others to see them than actually witnessing them for ourselves? How do we keep people from abusing the Snapchat story? Must we see yet another picture of your car?

NC State ROTC: Fighting hunger by land, air, and sea Alix Vo Staff Writer

All branches of NC State’s ROTC program are working with Move For Hunger, a nonprofit organization, to provide families in need with food. The first annual Fighting Hunger by Land, Air, and Sea food drive started Sunday and will run until Dec. 17.

Andrew Medlin, a junior studying international studies, came up with the idea of the ROTC branches working together to run a food drive.

“As future naval officers, service to our community is something we all strive to accomplish,” Medlin said. “With the holiday season approaching quickly, we all remember those that will go without hot meals this year.”

Ashley Satterwhite, a junior

study ing fashion and tex tiles management, is the organizer for this event.

“I found Move for Hunger online and contacted the local unit,” Satterwhite said. “They have done a great job in helping create flyers, pair us with a mover, help provide advertising and generally support the entire project.”

Move for Hunger is a nonprofit organization that partners with businesses and schools all over North America to help transport nonperishable foods to food banks.

The founder of Move for Hunger, Adam Lowry, got the idea of using moving trucks to transport non-perishables when he was working with his dad’s moving company in 2009. He noticed that people always left a lot of food behind and all of the food, most of the time, was thrown away. One

day, he told his dad to drop the food off at a local food bank so it wouldn’t go to waste.

“It was a simple, little thought like that that was essentially what is the driving force behind what the organization is all about,” said Joseph Raccuglia, a non-

prof it management and communications intern at Move for Hunger. Raccuglia worked with Satterwhite in getting started with the food drive by setting up press releases and flyers and organizing with movers to transport the food to a local food bank.

Raccuglia said Move for Hunger has been able to build up partnerships with movers and realtors during the years who help in taking all the food left over and moving them to pantries.

“In a way, we’re essentially the facilitator and the middle ground between a moving company, a food bank and an organization doing the food drive,” Raccuglia said. “Even if they’re not one of our movers, we’ll call them and tell them who we are, what we do and then they usually drop the boxes off and pick them up a week after the drive is done to the

food bank.”

Between the three branches and the help of the community, Satterwhite estimates Fighting Hunger

by Land, Air, and Sea will collect at least 1,000 cans. She also said Excel Moving and Storage has provided the boxes and a truck. They will be transferring the canned food to the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina.

Each div ision of t he ROTC branches will compete for more than a month to raise the most canned food. Satterwhite said when they find out which branch won the competition, the commanding off icer will have the pleasure of throwing a pie at the other losing commanding officers at training.

The bill that would give you free textbooks Samuel Griffin Correspondent

The Affordable College Textbook Act addresses problems students have with rising textbook costs year after year and, if passed, will provide grant money to colleges who create or expand open textbook programs. An open textbook is a textbook that can be accessed by the public for free and is legal to download, print and redistribute. Colleges in the program can be of any size, from community colleges to universities, but every college that receives funds would be required to submit a report on how effectively the program saved students’ money.

Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL), Al Franken (D-MN) and Angus King (I-ME) and Representatives Rubén Hinojosa (D-TX) and Jared Polis (D-CO) introduced the bill to Congress Oct. 8.

“College would be a lot easier if I had access to textbooks, something I don’t have because they’re too expensive for a student paying for college on her own,” said Kate Williams, a sophomore studying life sciences. “I’m already paying thousands for tuition. I don’t have the resources to pay hundreds more for books and access to online homework and honestly shouldn’t have to.”

Currently, the average student’s budget for books is about $1,200 annually due to the rapid inflation of textbook prices. In 10 years, between 2002 and 2012, college textbook prices rose 82 percent, according to the U.S Government Accountability Office. According to University of Michigan economics professor Mark J. Perry, the costs of textbooks have risen 812 percent since 1978.

“The reality is that our college students are taking on more debt than ever while also working more and more hours to stay af loat,” said Franken in the official press release about the bill. “By expanding access to free online textbooks, our bill would help address this problem and allow students and families to keep more of their hard-earned money.”

According to the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition, one of the main supporters of the act, the use of open textbooks reduces the average cost

of course material for a student by 80 percent and can reduce the cost of course material entirely.

On its website, SPARC supplies a list of other Open Educational Resources, or OERs, including lesson plans, tests, software, videos, games and even full courses.

According to Anthony Sanders, associate director of NCSU Bookstores, NCSU Libraries already has a grant-funded program in place with the goal of reducing the cost of attendance.

“The ef fect [of t he A f fordable Textbook Act] on NC State Bookstores would not change the mission of the store’s function of providing information to students regarding the course materials that are required for their classes,” Sanders said. “Our mission as established by provisions in the HEOA is to provide course material information whether these materials must be purchased or can be accessed through an open source platform.”

Sanders went on to say that he could consider OERs a positive

development but that they also can lead to several problems, including the quality control involved in offering something for free and the problem of relying on grant money for OERs long term.

“The shortcoming of established programs is what happens when the grant money runs out?” Sanders asked. “How are OER materials kept up to date in the long term?”

Problems like this could explain why bills on the affordability of college have had trouble in Congress before, including the Affordable College Textbook Act itself.

The bill is on its second run after it was presented to Congress back in 2013 by Durbin, but failed to gain any traction and was referred back to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions.

However, some textbook bills have been met with success, such as the Higher Education Opportunity Act, a bill passed in 2008 known as HEOA that provides financial aid for disabled students and requires the Government

Accountability Office to report on college textbooks pricing and provide data to the public.

Several colleges across the country have already begun experimenting with OER use. Supported by a grant from Durbin, the University of Illinois began offering a free introductory textbook that covered 11 different broad interest topics. South Florida Community College also began offering free online textbooks on certain subjects such as physics or biology through a company called OpenSta x, a nonprof it digital distributor of open textbooks.

OpenStax biology textbooks were introduced to University of Georgia last year and were estimated to have saved $100 each for more than 2,000 students.

Another benefit to open textbook services like OpenStax is that they can be edited by teachers on the spot. A teacher can even customize a textbook for his or her area of a specific class as well as correcting spelling or grammatical errors on the spot instead

of waiting for the next edition to have the right information.

There are several other publishers of open textbooks in the United States, including the Bostonbased company Boundless and the MIT-run OpenCourseWare. To afford to offer open textbooks, publishers of OERs often offer hard copy editions of their textbooks for money. Some, like OpenStax, are able to run because of donations from foundations such as 20 Million Minds and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

The Affordable College Textbook Act is attempting to make this practice more common by offering grants to colleges that use OERs to help make up the lost revenue from book sales.

“When buying a textbook becomes a barrier to education, you know something has to be changed, and that’s exactly what we want to achieve with the Affordable College Textbook Act,” said Hinojosa in the bill’s official press release.

professional development, service opportunities, cultural opportunities—just to maximize their time here at NC State and help them prepare for their careers and also help them understand their role in their communities both here at NC State and when they graduate,” said Allison Medlin, the director of the Goodnight Scholars program.

According to Jason Perry, the program coordinator of the Goodnight Scholars, working with Kayongo is done primarily through a nationa l spea ker agenc y that identifies and matches speakers to those who want to work with them.

“He’s got a lot of great energy, and I think that is not just going to show in his presentation but when he’s willing to talk with the audience and answer their questions very candidly,” Perry said.

Kayongo will deliver his presentation and then have a section for open questions collected from the audience and from Twitter.

“He has his own presentation which talks about his story from being a Kenyan refugee all the way to where he is now and recognized as

a CNN Hero and founder of this major nonprofit organization,” Perry said. “The rest of the program will be a Q & A—I think that’s important. The presentation, no matter how enigmatic of a speaker he is or any speaker can be—when you can set up an opportunity for the audience to actually volley questions at him and at any speaker and actually engage in that conversation is something you want to incorporate.”

The speaker series can help inspire students especially along the lines of social entrepreneurship, according to Medlin.

“W hat rea lly shows in Kayongo’s case is that he had these ideas about ‘oh, wait a second, this is how we could solve a problem and how we could connect these two issues of waste and hotel soap and helping sanitation needs in thirdworld countries,’” Medlin said. “The fact is that he actually went and did something about it, so he didn’t just have a great idea and stop there, he actually pursued it.”

Learning to do interdisciplinary work and communicate with people outside

of one’s major is also a point that the speaker series addresses, including in the choice of the speakers.

“We want it to be folks who embrace an understanding and importance of that interdisciplinar y approach and just not engineers just on this one track where they’re just working with fellow mechanical engineers,” Perry said. “You’re working with people not even just within STEM disciplines but outside STEM disciplines as well, whether that’s the arts, business, marketing, so on and so forth.”

In t he f ut u re for t he Goodnight Scholars speaker series, a speaker will be hosted once every semester.

Kayongo will also receive the CSLEPS Role Model Leader Award today, which he has already accepted.

“It’s really rewarding to be able to have a major program that benefits not just our students but the entire campus communit y and we’re really excited about that—to give back,” Medlin said.

Clemson would get the last say in the half, going 73 yards in two plays for a touchdown to go up 26-20, a lead the visitors would not relent for the rest of the game.

NC State had a big blow at the half, losing running back Dayes to a toe injury. Dayes was huge in the first half, netting 72 yards on nine carries.

Clemson put up 21 points in the third quarter on TDs from Gallman, freshman wideout Deon Cain and senior running back Zac Brooks to take

a commanding lead.

Samuels scored the lone Pack touchdown of the quarter, smashing it in from a yard out just moments after ripping off a 66-yard run.

“I feel comfortable back there [at running back],” Samuels said. “It’s a lot to know because I’m playing a lot of positions, but I felt comfortable once I got the ball.”

In the fourth, touchdowns from redshirt junior tight end David J. Grinnage (who made an incredible juggling-catch on the drive to set up his 14yard touchdown reception) and junior wideout Johnathan Alston (28 yards from Brissett) gave the Pack hope, but two failed onside kicks gave Clemson excellent field position, and Watson took advantage.

Watson hit freshman receiver Ray-Ray McCloud for a 36-yard TD and set up a short

field goal to extend Clemson’s lead to 15 points with 5:39 left in the game.

Facing 3rd-and-18, Brissett pulled out a bit of magic, scampering away from a defender and finding Grinnage for a 21-yard completion. The Pack had four shots at the end zone from the 9-yard line but couldn’t get it in, and with 3:13 remaining, turned the ball over on downs.

“It was a tough loss,” Samuels said. “Boston College has a good football program, but we just have to prepare the same way we did this week and go try to get a win in Boston.”

This effectively sealed the win for the Tigers, who conceded the most points to an opponent since losing 45-21 against Georgia, Aug. 30, 2014.

The squad will also have to adjust to a further race distance as they transition from 8,000 meters to 10,000 meters.

srespectively. Kaitlyn Kramer (18th), Erika Kemp (20th) and Megan Moye (25th) rounded out the top five for the Pack.

Frazier, Koon, Kramer and Kemp were All-ACC competitors.

Many runners stepped up for the Pack to contribute to its second-place finish.

“Rachel Koon is a walk-on from TC Roberson in Asheville, and she did not make the North Carolina state meet her senior year,” women’s head coach Laurie Henes said. “So to have her place seventh at an ACC Championship is huge.”

A few runners also returned from injury as well.

“Kaitlyn Kramer has been on the injury list for so long,” Henes said. “To have [her] put that together on this day is great.”

However, despite a secondplace finish to the University of Virginia, there was a slight

feeling of disappointment.

“It’s a really tough day,” Henes said. “We got beat by the seventh-ranked team in the country by four points. It’s a little disappointing for the athletes, but I think they’ve got the right attitude going in. We’ve got three weeks to be ready for nationals.”

Now, the women’s team is looking to fine tune as it moves toward the NCAA Southeast Regional meet Nov. 13 in Charlottesville, Virginia.

“There’s a lot of ways we can [improve],” Henes said. “So we’ll stay at a pretty heavy training level this week and kind of back into regionals. Then that will carry through [to nationals]. There’s only eight days between regionals and nationals.

It’s a different cycle.”

At the regional meet, the Pack will seek a bid to the NCAA Championships held Nov. 21 in Louisville, Kentucky.

Men’s soccer falls on Senior Night The NC State men’s soccer team suffered a 4-1 defeat to No. 3 Clemson at Dail Soccer Stadium Friday night. The Wolfpack (8-5-3, 1-4-3 ACC) came out firing against the Tigers, but Clemson goalkeeper Andrew Tarbell repelled a breakaway from sophomore midfielder Zach Knudson and a curling shot from junior midfielder Yanni Hachem.

Clemson capitalized on deflections and refereeing decisions that went its way, including a pinballing goal and a mistaken penalty call against Reed Norton on a foul committed outside the box. Redshirt senior Philip Carmon got the Pack’s only goal of the night after a slaloming dribble and pass from sophomore forward Ryan Peterson.

The Wolfpack will play at Syracuse in the first round of the ACC Tournament Wednesday.

Daniel Lacey Assistant Sports Editor

Despite a strong offensive performance, the NC State football team lost its upset bid against No. 3 Clemson 56-41 Saturday evening at Homecoming in Carter-Finley Stadium.

The Tigers (8-0, 5-0 ACC) kept their bid for the College Football Playoff alive, with Heisman candidate and sophomore quarterback Deshaun Watson proving too much for the Pack’s defense. He finished 23-of30 for 383 yards and five touchdowns with no picks and ran 14 times for 54 yards and a TD. The Wolfpack (5-3, 1-3 ACC) put up 389 yards of total offense against the Tigers, with redshirt senior quarterback Jacoby Brissett finishing 2441 for 254 yards with three TDs and a fumble. But the defense allowed 623 total yards to Clemson’s multidimensional offense, the difference in a game that finished with the same score as the Florida State-NC State game a year ago.

“I never felt like the game got away from us,” head coach Dave Doeren said. “We played hard until the end of the game. There were a lot of great plays made that went right down to the wire. We didn’t give ourselves a chance to win the game last year; we didn’t make plays, we were flat from start to finish. There are a lot of things

that we did better this time.”

Two blocked extra points and a 100-yard kickoff return highlighted a whirlwind first quarter, which saw the Tigers take a 16-13 lead.

The Wolfpack got things started, however, going 75 yards in six plays before Brissett scampered for a 13yard touchdown on 4th-and-2. Freshman Kyle Bambard’s extra point was blocked, and the Tigers would answer on the ensuing drive.

A 43-yard kickoff return set Clemson up for a four-play series resulting in a 24-yard keeper from Watson.

Following the PAT, the Tigers led 7-6 with 11:16 remaining on the clock.

Freshman receiver Nyheim Hines provided an immediate and electric response, fielding the kickoff just inside the end zone before exploding for a 100-yard touchdown return. His return is part of a three-way tie for the longest in school history.

Blown coverage up the middle allowed Clemson freshman receiver Hunter Renfrow a wide-open lane, and Watson connected for a 57-yard touchdown pass. Wolfpack sophomore defensive tackle B.J. Hill got a hand on the extra point attempt, and with 10:27 left in the first quarter the score stood level at 13 apiece.

The Tigers would force a Brissett fumble on the next NC State drive, but the Pack defense got its first stop of the game, and Clemson could only tack on a 29-yard field goal to up 16-13.

The Tigers would add three points on a 41-yarder in the second quarter,

Matt Dayes, but NC State muffed its lines, and Bambard muffed a field goal from 44 yards.

“The missed field goals are frustrating,” Doeren said. “He’s kicking it so good in practice and pregame. We

Pack cross country teams both take second at ACCs Garrison Rountree Correspondent

The NC State men’s and women’s cross country teams both took second place at the ACC championships this past Friday in Tallahassee, Florida.

Eight Wolfpack runners earned All-ACC honors for top-20 finishes between the men’s and women’s teams, which entered ranked 12th and eighth in the nation, respectively.

Redshirt junior Sam Parsons and redshirt senior Meron Simon, who finished seventh and ninth, broke the plane first for the Pack.

Sebastian Hanson (16th), Bakri Abushouk (18th) and Zack Langston (45th) followed soon after to complete the team’s finish.

Parson, Simon, Hanson and Abushouk were named All-ACC. The Pack’s emphasis on racing smart proved to be successful.

“We talked a bit last night about racing IQ,” head coach Rollie Geiger said. “I thought the force of Sam, Meron, Bakri and

Sebastian did a terrific job of controlling the race and not [letting] the race control them.”

This strategy also enabled the Pack to upset a University of Virginia team that ranked No. 7 in the most recent USTFCCCA Division I National Coaches Poll. The Cavaliers defeated the Pack last time the teams met at the Wisconsin Invitational earlier this season.

Only one of 14 competitors was able to outpace the Pack: No. 2 Syracuse. Though the young team has continued to exceed expectations this season, the goal is never to finish second.

“For the program it was a good day,” Geiger said. “We don’t go here to finish second, but I realize the level Syracuse is at this time.”

Next, the team is looking forward to the NCAA Southeast Regional meet in Charlottesville, Virginia.

“We showed well today, but looking down

THE LAST SCHOOL PICTURE YOU’LL EVER TAKE

The NC State volleyball team split its weekend matches, notching an exciting win against Notre Dame and dropping a heartbreaker against nationally ranked Louisville.

The Wolfpack advances to 1410 (3-9 ACC) while Notre Dame is 6-17 (1-10 ACC) and Louisville is 17-5 (11-1 ACC) following the contests.

The Pack started slowly Friday night against the Fighting Irish in Carmichael Gym, trailing two sets to none. NC State picked up the pace and won the final three sets to claim the match 3-2 (23-25, 2225, 25-18, 25-19, 16-14).

“The first two sets were rough, but then we started fighting and had a lot of energy and passion,” junior libero Rachel Eppley said.

“It felt awesome because everyone was on the same page, and everyone wanted to win.”

Sophomore Julia Brown had a career-high 18 kills, and Eppley tallied a career-best 32 digs against Notre Dame.

It was back and forth as the Wolfpack traded points with the Irish for control in the first two sets. State narrowly missed the set point both times.

State dominated the third set 25-18 and pulled out a 25-19 win in the fourth.

Notre Dame started the fifth off with a service error and the Wolfpack used it as an advantage, winning 16-14 to take the match.

“I was just trying to get it to whoever was ready and was up,” freshman setter Becky Porter said.

Freshman setter Becky Porter sets up sophomore Kaitlyn Kearney for a kill against Notre Dame Friday. Porter had six digs and two kills. Kearney had one dig and 13 kills. NC State beat Notre Dame with a final score of 3-2.

“Everyone was killing it though, so I felt that I could get it to everyone tonight.”

Porter contributed 42 assists in the match. Sophomore Perry Ramsey came out strong with her third double-double of the season, tallying 15 kills and 10 digs. Freshman Blayke Hranicka matched Ramsey in kills.

NC State returned to Carmichael Gym to play No. 23 Louisville Sunday afternoon.

The Wolfpack started the first set strong against Louisville, but the Cardinals pulled off a 25-23 win.

The Cardinals pushed early on in the second set to take a 12-6 lead over the Pack. Louisville beat the Pack to point 20. Sophomore Kaitlyn Kearney made a kill, edging the Pack to 12-20, and Brown blocked to make it 15-22. Hranicka pitched in with a kill at 18 but State couldn’t stop the Cardinals from taking the set 25-18.

It was a difficult third set as NC

State fought to claim the lead. The Wolfpack held out for half the set and beat the Cardinals to point 10.

Louisville then edged the Pack five points to control the scoreboard 16-11. The score tied seven times as NC State tried to prevent a Louisville run. Cardinals took the set 25-18 and the match 3-0.

“They’re a good team and they don’t make many errors,” head coach Bryan Bunn said. “We weren’t aggressive enough. They [Louisville] were in system way too much, and they were able to side out too easy.”

Porter made her fourth start as setter this season and tallied 31 assists and nine digs, just missing her first double-double. Hranicka and Brown both put up 10 points in kills.

“We’ve still got eight conference games left,” Brown said. “We’re learning from our mistakes and will be taking it into practice this week. We need to serve tougher and put up more blocks.”
