A controversial U.S. military training exercise known as “Operation Jade Helm” rolls out this week across several southwestern states — but a group of wary citizen watchdogs will be keeping an eye. Pete Lanteri, a former Marine said that he has organized volunteer members to be on the ground as part of a newly formed surveillance campaign called “Counter Jade Helm.” A product of mounting suspicions across western states over the exercise itself, the group has been set up to locate, track and observe U.S. soldiers — Green Berets, Air Force Special Ops, Navy SEALs — training across the Southwest.

The three-month military exercise kicks off Wednesday.

Lanteri played down the notion that the “counter” campaign could lead to conflict. “We’re not paranoid tin-hat wearing freaks,” Lanteri told FOX. “We’re not going to be out there confronting people or holding signs.”

NC House could ban removal of Confederate monuments As the national debate about the future of Confederate flags and memorials continues, state legislators want to make it harder to remove controversial monuments.

The House Homeland Security Committee approved a bill July 15 to ban state agencies and local governments from taking down any “object of remembrance” on public property that “commemorates an event, a person or military service that is part of North Carolina’s history.” That would mean a state law would be needed to remove a monument or relocate one to a site that’s not of “similar prominence.”

Republican supporters of the bill stressed that it passed the Senate unanimously in April, long before the debate about Confederate symbols was sparked by the killing of nine people at a Charleston, South Carolina church. “This bill has nothing to do with what’s happened with the Confederate flag, but I think that’s a good reason we need something like this — to stave off the flames of passion,” said Rep. Michael Speciale, a New Bern Republican who chaired Wednesday’s committee meeting. The bill could be heard on the House floor as soon as next week.

IN BRIEF To plot his escape from the most secure prison in Mexico, Joaquin Guzman Loera, is believed to have relied on “little birds” to help him to freedom. Now, it appears that at least one of them was an actual bird. Government officials discovered the body of a small bird sitting in his trash can. The bird, they believe, was used to test the air quality of the tunnel through which Guzman vanished, according to an official.

Officials have given the little bird a name: “Chapito.” Guzman, leader of the multibillion-dollar Sinaloa Cartel, had evaded prison for 13 years before he was captured last year by American and Mexican authorities. He is notorious for ordering the construction of tunnels both to transport drugs and to evade the authorities.

Activists march in support of voting rights in downtown Winston-Salem on Monday. Thousands were in attendance as a band sang gospel songs, some of which were updated to fit the current situation while others recited poetry and called the crowd to action. After the initial speakers came to the stage, the mass of people in attendance marched past the local courthouse and returned to the stage to hear speeches from several community leaders, most notably Reverand Doctor William Barber.

NC voter rights on trial Inez Nicholson News Editor

A federal trial dealing with North Carolina’s voting laws began July 13 in Winston-Salem contesting whether current laws restrict minorities from voting.

The North Carolina NAACP along with various voting rights groups and the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit saying that current legisla-

tion is unlawful, while the state believes they are necessary to prevent voter fraud.

The Republican legislature created the current voter registration laws in 2013 which include: • scaling back the number of days for early voting • eliminating the process of registering to vote and voting on the same day

Hindu group pushes for recognition of Diwali Abigail Pugh Correspondent

There has been an effort in recent months within North Carolina’s Hindu community to petition school districts statewide to include Diwali as a school holiday for the 2015-2016 academic year, as well as subsequent years.

Diwali is a sacred religious holiday for Hindus and represents the start of a new year, in which families come together to reflect, renew and celebrate as one year ends and another begins.

Often called the festival of lights,

Diwali is one of the most important festivals in Hindu tradition and culture and is considered to be equal to Christmas in the West with regard to its significance and widespread observance.

Rajan Zed, president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, released a statement urging the adoption of Diwali as a holiday for reasons based on religious liberty and mutual respect between cultures. He stated that “holidays of all major religions should be honored” without students having to either miss

Diwali is not only an important holiday for Hindus, but also for Sikhs, Jains and Indian Buddhists, all of whom observe this 5-day festival.

“These themes are deep, resonant symbols that help people understand their place in the world,” he said. “Diwali is an opportunity for families to reconnect with one another and to connect to long-held Indian traditions that may not be present in their daily lives.”

The ignorance that many Westerners have toward minority traditions and religious practices might be a major obstacle to this endeavor, according to Sturdevant.

“There can be a general unwillingness to adapt to minority groups, but in the U.S. we have a long his-

tory of doing just that,” he said. “I think this is something that, if we are going to say we’re a multicultural society, and we want Hindus to be a part of it … we ought to respect and honor them as they respect and honor traditions that are foreign to them.”

Varun Kachroo, a Hindu senior studying agricultural business management, said he would like to see Diwali as a holiday, but including every culture’s religious holidays would be difficult.

“I think that rather than classes being canceled, classes could actually inform students about the holiday

so that everyone has the chance to be exposed to the culture,” Kachroo said.

P.J. Singh, a junior studying computer science, also suggested an alternative to classes being canceled.

“If Diwali isn’t added as a school holiday, maybe we could light up NC State’s campus, or even the Bell Tower, to honor the tradition,” he said. “During the time of Diwali, everyone at my temple lights up the Gurdwara.”

Wake animal shelter warns of euthanasia due to overcapacity Kaitlin Montgomery Editor-in-Chief

“WE ARE FULL! If you are surrendering your pet, the risk of euthanasia is extremely high today. Please consider other options and only surrender your pet as a last resort, with the understanding that your pet may be euthanized today.”

That was the message that adorned the door at the Wake County Animal Shelter on

July 9.

Although summer is the season for a flood of puppies and kittens, Jennifer Federico, the center’s animal services director, said the main problem for the center’s overcapacity is owners coming to surrender their animals.

“In the last nine days, we received a total of 69 animals,” Federico said. “That’s 38 dogs, two puppies, 13 cats and 10 kittens. That’s crazy.

Before the influx of surrendered animals, the center was already caring for 70 cats and 90 dogs within its building.

In foster care it has almost 200 animals of all ages that are waiting to be adopted.

According to Federico, the

Wake County Animal Center is a reflection of its community. If pet owners spayed and neutered their animals, kept them contained and didn’t surrender them to the center, the problem of overcapacity simply wouldn’t exist.

The doctorate in design will be a practitioner degree for professionals that will complement the Ph.D in design. The doctorate will target professionals in architecture, graphic design, industrial design and landscape architecture. Currently, the only other doctorate offered by NC State is the doctorate of veterinary medicine.

The masters of forensic sciences is part of the initiative to establish an institute of forensic sciences.

“It’s not just cats and dogs pouring in over here,” Federico said. “People should think about us when they’re considering the little critters too.”

Even if people aren’t in the position to adopt, Federico explained that there are all kinds of other ways for them

to help out.

“Advocate, please. I can’t say it enough,” Federico said. “Come volunteer, be a foster parent. Better yet help a neighbor find their dog when it gets lost instead of bringing them here.

Protecting the pollinators Zeke Hartner Staff Writer

For years, the disappearance of large populations of honey bees has perplexed and concerned researchers around the globe. After all, many plants in the ecosystem rely on a pollinating insect to carry pollen between plants for fertilization to occur.

However, a team of researchers at NC State believes it has identified a question that has yet to be asked in order to get a complete picture of the situation: “How have changing conditions affected native bees?”

There are about 500 bee species native to North Carolina, and it is unknown if the impact felt on the honey bee around the United States has had a similar decimating effect on other bee species’ populations.

Elsa Youngsteadt, an entomologist research associate at NC State, hopes that learning more about bee species native to North Carolina will help people recognize the importance that these creatures play in our lives.

“Recently there has been a lot of public interest in native bees,” Youngsteadt said. “Unfortunately, there’s more interest than researched information.”

That’s an issue researchers are working to correct. In the meantime, they’ve come up with some solutions to help North Carolina’s native bee species.

The research team has come up with a program to train master gardeners in the Raleigh area to be more conscious of which flowers they keep in their gardens throughout the year.

Youngsteadt explained that many domesticated f lowers do not have the nectar and pollen required to support bees.

“These f lowers are usually bred

because of their pretty color and shape, but they often don’t produce anything that the bees can use,” Youngsteadt said.

Members from the research team created a community outreach program to inform the public about the steps they can take to improve the conditions for pollinating species in the area.

Also in the works is a conference aimed at teaching growers and insect researchers about the need to protect pollinators. The two-day conference is scheduled to roll out in October and will be spreading the latest in native bee research to the people who can make a change in the community.

“We want to get everybody together on the same page,” Youngsteadt said. “We’re spreading the most recent information on protecting bee populations.”

Youngsteadt said she recommends

planting a variety of native flowers throughout a garden to maximize the effectiveness of pollination for different species of bees.

Researchers are also studying the effect that climate conditions have on bee species in the Raleigh area.

April Hamblin, a graduate student studying entomology, is conducting research about how bee species are affected within cities. Conditions such as decreased flora and increased temperatures change the dynamic of all insects living in a city.

It will be a few years before any definitive claims can be made on how much native bee populations have been affected by human activities, but in the meantime, the information that is spread to gardeners and other research teams could prove crucial in stabilizing native bee populations.

NAACP. “Otherwise, we will have a less and less open democratic society, and the voices of only those who can afford to vote in the narrow framing will be heard.”

Changes in the law followed only weeks after the Supreme Court ruled it unlawful for states to seek federal approval before changing voting laws in states with history of racial discrimination. Previously, states like South Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi had to go to the Supreme Court in order to alter voting laws.

“Considering that state-sanctioned discrimination is no longer the problem it was in the 1960s, it is not necessary to monitor all voting laws of southern states,” said Sam Potter, the president of College Republicans. “Individual instances of discrimination, should they occur, can be addressed individually. North Carolina should not require permission from the Supreme Court to change their voting laws.”

In an opening statement in the courtroom, Thomas Farr, an attorney defending Gov. Pat McCrory and the state said none of the changes are any more discriminatory towards one race than the other.

Potter agrees and said that there is no issue with a shortened early voting period.

“The numbers of hours polls are open each day was increased, and … some states, such as New York, to pick just one, don’t have early voting at all,” he said.

The plaintiff has said the laws made in 2013 to cut back on early voting, eliminate same-day registration, only accept ballots inside the voter’s precinct and annul preregistration for soon-to-be voters

were deliberately made to exclude black, Hispanic and young voters, who tend to vote Democrat.

President of College Democrats Jacqueline Lee said she believes removing NC State as a site for early voting last year hurt Republicans just as much as it did Democrats.

“Our campus is pretty split,” she said. “Sure, there are raging liberals and major conservatives, but if you look around, about half of students and faculty are split between party lines.”

The first day of the trial was followed by a march and rally, drawing thousands of people to downtown Winston-Salem. President of the NAACP Rev. William Barber spoke at the rally and compared Monday’s rally to the events in Selma, Alabama nearly 50 years ago.

“This is our Selma,” Barber said emphatically to the crowd.

He later continued and drew parallels to other racial events in history, including the recent Confederate flag removal in South Carolina.

“The laws we have in place might as well have been posted on Confederate flag stationary,” Barber said, calling out the discriminatory tone of the laws.

Environmentalists, veterans, Hispanics, seniors, teens and other groups made up the thousands in attendance at the rally.

Bonnie Parsons, one of the attendees, said she also marched in Selma in 1965.

“There was a lot more fear back then,” she said. “[Monday], no one [was] pointing guns at me. People were lined up along the side of the road with them, so it was a very different experience. I feel sad that in my state, rights are being eliminated and taken away from people. It’s a step backward, and I’m appalled.”

The trial is expected to last four weeks and will not be subject to a jury.

Hannibal was never meant for primetime E

pisodes into “Hannibal’s” third season, NBC failed to renew the show for a fourth due to low Nielsen ratings. “Hannibal” g ave N B C a rare gift, and it didn’t want it.

Though “fannibals” were iniMary Anna tially optiRice mistic about Opinion Editor the chances of the show surviving, NBC is cutting it off with surgical precision, not unlike its titular cannibal. Things haven’t exactly been looking up as late; as both Amazon, which has streaming rights, and Netflix have passed it up. We hope that Hulu or some other godlike figure will swoop in and save the day at the last moment, playing savior almost as if it were premeditated.

Perhaps they are curious to see what will happen.

Bryan Fuller, the developer of “Hannibal,” hasn’t had the best time bringing his creations to completion.

“Dead Like Me” withered in the wake of Fuller’s departure in its first season, becoming dead like itself. “Wonderfalls” fell prey to cancelation after one season. “Pushing Daisies” aired two seasons before it began pushing daisies. At least “Hannibal,” Fuller’s latest meditation on death, made it to three full seasons — though he had plans for six in total. Currently halfway through the third season, NBC will allow “Hannibal” to air throughout the rest of the season.

Perhaps these shows were all destined to face their untimely demises consider-

ing the gloomy themes they dwelled on. Despite all being critically lauded, their respective networks decided that they’d rather commit TV cannibalism than go on producing shows that didn’t provide the ratings they wanted.

So, the networks swallowed their shows whole and renewed “Glee.”

Fans had rebuked NBC for canceling their show, some personally adopting Hannibal Lecter’s own mantra: “Eat the rude.” Many made jokes about sending bloody organs to NBC studios, and likely some threatened this in serious. They mourned the sinking of their ships and prayed NBC would at least allow them the small privilege of seeing who exactly is taking care of Will’s dogs while he’s gallivanting about in Europe.

Although NBC has committed serious crimes in the past — such as driving “The Office” into the ground, cutting the final seasons of “30 Rock” and “Parks and Recreation” in half, airing the monstrosity who was “Joey,” etc. — canceling “Hannibal” is not necessarily one of them.

In fact, looking at the Nielsen ratings for the series, which are often the only numbers primetime networks care about, one wonders how “Hannibal” managed to last so long in the deep, dark well its ratings carved for it. NBC threatened to spray the hose again, and it was not messing around.

This last week, “Hannibal’s” rating was only 0.4, meaning only about 0.4 percent of TV households were watching the show at any given minute — and this was after the announcement that NBC had canceled the show.

Comparing it to a show sharing its timeslot, “Under the Dome” received a rating of 1.0. If we pull ratings from the rest of the night, “The Big Bang Theory” received a 1.4, “The Astronaut Wives Club” received a 0.8 and “Big Brother” received a 1.9.

Can we forgive NBC? It is unreasonable in general for networks to only consult the Nielsen ratings when so many other indicators of a show’s success exist — such as the enthusiasm of the series’ fandom, the amount of times the show has been streamed, the sales made from the NBC website as well as from the recent auction — but, as it is the current standard for networks to measure a show’s profitability, NBC wasn’t being entirely irrational in its decision to hang “Hannibal” out to dry. At least the network had the decency to ask, “Bowels in or bowels out?”

But to truly solve the mystery of this crime, we must get inside the mind of the killer, even if it means reenacting the horrifying death of this show with our bare hands.

Why didn’t general audiences fall for “Hannibal’s” clever ploys?

Based on the books by Thomas Harris, “Hannibal” serves as a sort of overreaching prequel that frequently incorporates elements of the novels in highly novel ways.

The show expands on the relationship between Will and Hannibal introduced

by Harris in “Red Dragon,” a professional association that eventually evolves into a multi-faceted, more than slightly homoerotic, highly unhealthy friendship. Harris’ novels are by no means light reading, but the visual

Mary Anna Rice, Opinion Editor

nature of “Hannibal” allows the show to adopt a whole new realm of horror.

In addition, the show draws a stark contrast to “Silence of the Lambs,” the movie that stands as the most wellknown adaptation of the books. “Silence of the Lambs” prides itself in its relative realism while “Hannibal” relishes its surreal, nightmarish plane.

As the series progresses, “Hannibal” becomes increasingly more impenetrable to the casual viewer. It repels nonchalant audiences in the same way that put “Arrested Development” on the chopping block. It refuses to stop and explain what’s happening, and it is incredibly dense in its subtext and thematic material. It is a challenging show, and refuses to apologize for that. While longtime viewers love the show spe-

cifically for these reasons, it turns off those who aren’t looking for a commitment.

As well, the show has become endlessly more artful, often indulging in experimental angles, complex slowmotion shots and bloody dreamlike forms. No other shows on network television look like this. “Hannibal” has, from the outset, focused on the beauty inherent in the terrible —the draw of a character like Lecter — but many aren’t able to look past the gore to examine what’s really inside (spoiler: it’s even more blood). To be fair, the show is one stocked full of decapitation, gouging, biting and the masterful cooking of human flesh. The people who can’t handle the violence can hardly be condemned.

Despite being one of the best-acted shows on television (it features Hugh

Dancy, Mads Mikkelsen and Laurence Fishburne amongst others), entirely beautiful and tightly written, “Hannibal” might have been too self-indulgent in its own art to notice its impending descent, much like Hannibal Lecter himself. A place wasn’t made for you, “Hannibal.” At least not in the world of primetime television.

Maybe we’ll send off the show with words from the impeccably mannered cannibal himself: “I’ve always found the idea of death comforting. The thought that my life could end at any moment frees me to fully appreciate the beauty and art and horror of everything this world has to offer.” Though “Hannibal” may end here, we will attempt to honor every part of it. This is our design.

(However, let’s not count out the Food Network.)

The joy of teaching I

f I had a dollar for every time one of my peers said, “After I work in industry for a while, I think I want to go into teaching,” I would be a very rich ma n. T his seemingly benign Gabe DeCaro statement Staff columnist has a couple of startling implications.

Firstly, the desire to first go into an industrial then educational profession creates an ontological distinction between productive and reproductive modes of labor.

Productive labor creates and

distributes goods and services while reproductive labor works to perpetuate and support the former.

For example, doctors use their knowledge of medicine to both treat patients in a clinical setting and discover new physiological phenomena. But who provided the doctors with the knowledge in the first place? Medical schools of course. We see the two modes of labor coexisting in the academic environment; tenure track professors generally focus on research while adjuncts more often are relegated to instructional duties.

However, who wins the

awards? Who garners the h ig hest wages ? Societ y clearly demonstrates its bias toward productive labor, thereby undermining the relevance of reproductive labor. But reader, I bet that you can recall a great teacher who impacted your life in a significant manner. They challenged your preconceived notions, pushed your intellectual boundaries and helped you realize your full potential. I sure can.

Consequently, by creating a distinction between these two forms of labor, we have encouraged specialization, decreased integration and increased alienation. Rather

But more than just raising pay, the best and the brightest ought to develop their abilities to convey, explain and contextualize information. This in turn will help resolve other problems with transparency, such as the ivory tower of science. Hand in hand, together we can all realize a more ideal future with dignity and communication.

Elephants: more than meets the ivory Alix Vo Correspondent

According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, there is one species of elephant on the African continent, and its status is listed as “threatened.” Tara Easter is on a mission to change that.

Tara Easter recently submitted a petition to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to distinguish African elephants between forest and savanna species, as well as change their status from threatened to endangered.

Easter graduated in 2012 from NC State with a bachelor’s degree in ecology, evolution and conservation biology. While she was at NC State, she traveled abroad to Namibia, Africa accompanied by Werner Dörgeloh. There, she was able to get firsthand experience working with elephants in their natural habitats.

“I’ve known since long before I went on the study abroad program that I’d developed a deep compassion for Africa’s struggling elephant populations,” Easter said. “It was a struggling childhood passion I wanted to pursue, and I was able to fulfill it going to Namibia with Professor Dörgeloh.”

Dörgeloh is an adjunct associate professor in the Department of Forestry where he teaches natural resource conservation and wildlife management. He is originally from Namibia, leading to the inspiration to start the study abroad program.

“I know the country like the back of my hand and it is safe to travel. I accompany the students to conduct field work and lectures,” Dörgeloh said.

When Easter returned to NC State, she started a chapter of Jane Goodall’s Roots and Shoots, a student organization aimed at “identifying problems in global and social issues related to conservation” according to the club’s website. Cassandra Backman is the president of Roots and Shoots at NC State.

“The club focuses a lot on community work around the Triangle, like with Duke Lemur Center and the Wedge Community Garden,” Backman said. “We want to get students involved since the message we’re presenting is that we want to educate the community to work together to conserve.”

She was able to return to Africa in 2014 after spending time in a small Kenyan village with a project called Save the Elephants, which involved building a research center aimed at working with farmers using beehives to keep elephants away from their crops.

Easter now works in Portland, Oregon as a conservation biologist focused on saving endangered and potentially endangered species. Her work mainly consists of doing research and writing petitions for endangered species.

“I started assessing the benefits of increasing protections for elephants under the Endangered Species Act,” Easter said.

The Endangered Species Act works with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services with the goal of protecting animals and plants from becoming extinct. The status of elephants right now is that they are both under the name “African elephants” and both are still enlisted as threatened.

“The forest elephants and the savanna elephants are the two distinct species of African elephants and they are both declining,” Easter said. “It was clear that these two species needed to be recognized separately as endangered elephants.”

Although there are differences between the species, many organizations have not recognized a distinction as a separate species. Savanna elephants are larger, while forest elephants are smaller and darker.

So far, the work that Easter has done includes petitioning for a bird in the Pacific Island called the Tinian to be listed on the Endangered Species Act, and she recently released a petition for moose in the Midwest region of the United States.

“Lately for me, it’s mostly been behind the scenes work, since unfortunately, I don’t get into the field too often,” Easter said.

A lot of the work to get species placed on the endangered list takes place in labs and offices, and not out in the savanna, but Easter believes it’s all about the end result and protecting the animals.

ALBUM PICKS Triptides, “Azur”

Jake Davis WKNC Operations Manager Remember when you held your breath in a swimming pool long enough to become weightless and float to the surface? Triptides’ latest release brings back that feeling above the water.

The surf psychedelic pop band Triptides released their new LP “Azur” on French label RPUT, with a sound that fits an evening on the Riviera as much as a stroll on the boardwalk. The album opens with the single “Wake,” the jumping into the pool where the mood is hazy and youthful. The bittersweet twinge of the reverbed guitars pulls you closer into the deep end on “Dark Side.” These pangs stay with you during the course of the album and develop into a hankering for ice cream on a blistering summer day. Vocalist Glenn Brigman provides the sweet, sugary, cavity-causing melodies from a summer long ago — nostalgic and distant, like the bottom of a swimming pool. The shimmery sounds apparent in the slower songs “Too Far Gone” and “Over” are much like the refraction of light into water. The fourpiece from Bloomington, Indiana know their sound and the scene that comes with it, which is why they have relocated to Los Angeles.

The 50s and 60s are long gone with the surf pop greats of the day: the Beach Boys, Dick Dale, Jan & Dean and countless others no longer the unique prize of American culture. But Triptides does their finest to echo the days of muscle cars and the open coastline. The appropriately named closing track “Over” leaves the listener with the somber sting of the past, like chlorine in your eyes from the neighbor’s swimming pool.

Favorite Tracks: “Wake,” “Hideout,” “Too Far Gone,” “Translucent,” “Over”

Desaparecidos, ”Payola” Julie Smitka WKNC Correspondent

Conor Oberst got his big break as singersongwriter and guitarist of Bright Eyes and has since moved on to other musical projects, including Desaparecidos. Formed in 2000, Desaparecidos demonstrates a subtle maturation in Oberst’s lyrics, transitioning from teenage melancholy to focused, politically charged angst. “Payola” is the first album from Desaparecidos released in more than a decade, but the band definitely hasn’t lost any of their edge since 2002s “Read Music/Speak Spanish.”

Pounding drums and rapid guitar drive “Payola,” along with Oberst’s familiar melodic vocals. And with his philosophical musings, Oberst presents his anger in the form of criticisms of government. In the album’s first song “The Left Is Right,” he sings “If one must die to save the 99/ Maybe it’s justified / The left is right / We’re doomed,” which is a direct reference to the Occupy Wall Street political slogan “We are the 99 Percent.” With the band name chosen in remembrance of those of lower financial status who disappeared after being arrested at the hand of military dictatorships, it’s no surprise that the 2013 single “Anonymous” closes the album with a hate message of unrest about control and the wealth gap: “Can’t live today off that minimum wage unless you sleep on the factory floor.” Oberst screams his explicit disgust toward the economy, comparing the United States’ government to George Orwell’s Big Brother. “Payola” finishes as a punk rock album with Oberst targeting government, shouting “We’re the Tattletale/We’ll see your All-Seeing-Eye in hell.”

Favorite Tracks: “Golden Parachutes,” “Backsell,” “Marikkkopa,” “Te Amo Camila Vallejo”

You aren’t what you speak COMBATING LANGUAGE STEREOTYPES ON CAMPUS Carolyn Thompson Correspondent

Campus diversity tends to revolve around the inclusion of gender, race and sexual orientation but NC State’s campus diversity project want to add language to the discussion.

The linguistics program “Educating the Educated: A University-Wide Language Diversity Initiative,” which is led by Stephany Dunstan, Walt Wolfram and Audrey Jaeger, holds events and workshops to expose issues of language-based inequality and create an inclusive campus environment for students.

“We wanted to do something on campus in terms of outreach in language diversity,” said Stephany Dunstan, the assistant director of the Office of Assessment.

“It kind of got started when I was working on my dissertation, which explored the role of language for speakers of stigmatized dialects to understand how it influenced their college experiences.”

When diversity is talked about in higher education, culture is usually one of the topics discussed. Language can often be part of that umbrella term, but it’s not really talked about specifically, Dunstan explained.

The language diversity program started off with workshops for undergradu-

ate students that taught them about dialects in North Carolina. It aimed to break common myths linked with language and dialect and then moved to graduate level courses.

“We thought, how can we reach the most people on campus? We really think this is something that’s important whether you’re a student, faculty, staff, administrator — you really ought to be aware of this kind of diversity, especially since so many myths abound, and a lot of them can be damaging,” said Dunstan.

The campus infusion model, created to guide the program, focuses on reaching students and faculty through student affairs, academic affairs, human resources, faculty affairs and the Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity.

For example, at the student affairs level, training has been provided to resident advisors and resident directors. The language diversity program also has a presence at Packapalooza, convocation and can be recognized by the “Howl with an Accent” posters.

The program also has a group of undergraduate and graduate student ambassadors who help facilitate the workshops and trainings across campus. The student ambassador program is open to anyone who is interested,

and students can shadow experienced ambassadors at events to get a better understanding of how it works.

Issues that have been observed on campus and with students have brought the topic of language diversity to light. Dunstan said she had come across instances of dialect influencing their experience during her dissertation research.

“Some students mentioned that they didn’t like to speak up in class because sometimes other students would laugh at the way that they spoke,” Dunstan said.

“I had seen that as an undergraduate student that someone might speak up and have a strong regional dialect, or maybe English wasn’t their first language, and you might hear some whispers and things like that.”

Language can be a point of interest between people to compare the different ways in which words are said.

Although sometimes interactions related to language and dialect differences can be more negative. Dunstan said she encountered stereotypes on college campuses designating a ‘proper’ way to speak.

“The idea of ‘the dialect that you speak, the language that you brought to the campus that’s part of your culture and who you are is not what you should be using here’ … The kind of implicit message there that to be a scholar and sound scholarly for some students is that you might have to change that part of who you are. That can be kind of problematic,” Dunstan said.

To help individuals in the program’s workshops think critically about language-/ dialect-based stereotypes and issues, participants are

asked to imagine situations or certain characters and how they think they might sound.

For example, the individuals are asked to imagine that they are movie directors, and they can only portray the characters through their voices — how would you portray someone described as fancy, educated and posh?

How would you portray someone as very uneducated to the audience?

Thinking through situations like these allows workshop participants to recognize how much people will judge others on the basis of their dialect and accents and encourages further thought on how these stereotypes are perpetuated in society.

“We want to make sure that everyone has a chance to learn that dialects vary greatly and that they all have equal value,” Dunstan said.

“We think by doing that and kind of breaking some of these myths, we can level the playing field for acceptance along a lot of these other dimensions that we traditionally address in diversity canon.” One of the goals of the initiative is to get more students to think about lan-

guage in terms of diversity and have them be able to talk about how language touches many parts of people’s lives.

Expansion of this program is intended, and it is also a goal to make the program standard fare for orientation, Dunstan explained.

“We’d like to get a good representation of majors, because everybody is interested in language — just ask them ‘coke, soda or pop,’ and you can go on a five-minute conversation of what you say versus what I say,” Dunstan said.

Currently NC State is the only university in the United States that has a language diversity program, but other colleges have started to take interest in this approach.

“The University of Hawaii at Manoa — they saw our dialect video and said ‘This is great; would you care if we made one like this?’ and we said ‘Of course,’” Dunstan said. “We hope that it is not just NC State because this is a societal issue. We really hope that in higher education in general this is something that kind of diffuses.”

the Year honors and declaring early for the 2014 NBA Draft, Warren was drafted 14th overall by the Phoenix Suns.

While he spent some time with the Suns’ D-League affiliate at the beginning of the season, he rejoined the Suns and earned more playing time as the season progressed. He will compete with P.J. Tucker for the starting small forward position this coming season.

Warren burst out onto the scene in his first summer league game: 20 points, three rebounds, one assist, three steals and a block. He followed that performance up with 22 points, four rebounds, two steals and a block in 30 minutes. While he saw his playing time drop to 22 minutes in the final preliminary game, he still made the most of it, tallying 16 points, two assists and one rebound.

Warren has shot very well in these three games, combining for 24-for-43 (55.8 percent) from the field and 10-for-13 (76.9 percent) from the free throw line. However, playing in a wing position, he needs to work on his three point shooting, and he is only 0-1 from beyond the arc this

He had a brief stint with the Knicks, but has bounced around the developmental league and various teams overseas since then.

This summer, with the Sacramento Kings, Leslie has fared poorly. He played 20 minutes against the Raptors, but shot a sub-par 3-for-10 from the field totaling seven points, three rebounds, two steals and a block. In the next three games, he saw his minutes drop to 15, eight and nine, respectively.

Turner was the first former member of the Wolfpack to compete in the Futures Game. One of the many events leading up to the MLB All-Star Game, the Futures Game pits the best young players of the United States against international talent and has taken place annually since 1999. Turner entered the game in the sixth inning at shortstop, replacing J.P. Crawford of the Philadelphia Phillies. The National recorded his first hit that inning, batting in a runner to contribute to his team’s 10-1 victory. Turner finished 2-for-2 from the plate with two RBI.

Redshirt senior Nick Gwiazdowski won his first international title July 11 at the Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid, Spain.

The two-time NCAA heavyweight champion took first place in the 125 kg freestyle division, defeating Deng Zhiwei of China in the championship bout despite being the lowest-seeded competitor in his division.

Gwiazdowski trailed 8-0 at one point in the match but managed to tie the bout at 8-8 before pinning Zhiwei with 38 seconds remaining.

Gwiazdowski had an excellent showing at the Grand Prix, winning his first two matches against Spain and Poland by technical fall, 10-0. In the semifinals, the Wolfpack heavyweight defeated Mehdi Gonbadani, 14-4.

The United States took the men’s freestyle team title with 75 points, 30 more than second-place Spain. The U.S. also claimed six of the eight individual men’s freestyle championships.

The victory in Spain comes less than a month after Gwiazdowski’s fourth-place result at the World Team Trials, which landed the State wrestler one spot away from a place on the U.S. squad.

Players of teams Breakfast Is Served and Areia Brazil play sand volleyball at Wolf Village July 15. Areia Brazil won the game. Sand Volleybll one of the three intramural team sports offered by the University Recreation Center during the summer.

The second summer session is midway over, and for those students taking classes during the summer, a break is much needed.

Though relaxing and playing games at the beach may not be a possibility for students stuck on campus during break, University Recreation has managed to provide stress relief during the hot summer months in the form of intramural sports (IMs).

Students are eligible to compete in IMs even if they are not signed up for summer classes; participants must have taken classes in the spring and be registered for classes in the fall in order.

For the second summer session, Uni-

versity Recreation is hosting competitions in 3-on-3 soccer, sand volleyball and inner tube water polo. Every sport has a three-week season followed by single-elimination playoffs.

University Recreation is also offering two special tournaments in disc golf and pool battleship.

The disc golf tournament will take place July 21 on the course at Centennial Campus and will include two nine-round holes. The battleship competition will be held July 25 at Casey Natatorium and will see all participants trying to fill each other’s boats with water to sink them.

Intramurals require no experience in the sports and are meant to be fun for all involved. They resume in the fall.

Former players compete in Summer League Daniel Lacy Assistant Sports Editor

Tipping off just a week after the NBA Draft, the NBA Summer League is filled with young, competitive talent hoping to make NBA rosters. Among this crop were six former NC State players. Here is what they have done so far: Ralston Turner, Guard, 20122015 The 6-foot-6 sharpshooter got a gig with the Charlotte Hornets.

Unlike his fellow NC State alumni, he played in the Orlando summer league, which took place from July 4-10.

Largely due to a crowded wing position, Turner only saw action in two games and registered 15 total minutes. In limited playing time, he shot 0-for-4 from the field but garnered two rebounds, two steals and a block. The Hornets ended the summer league 2-3, including 1-1 in the games Turner played in.

His next step will likely lead him overseas.
