The environmental science program has been restructured so all parts of the major and related minors are together.
Joanna BanegasSenior Staff Writer
The environmental science major is the only one at the University that falls under no specific college. The Univer-sity has revised the Bachelor of Science degree in environmental science for both majors and minors.
According to William Winner, co-ordinator of the environmental sci-ence academic program, the program provides a rigorous, contemporary opportunity for faculty members and students to explore the issues of climate change, sustainability, energy and the environment.
Winner said the University has, for the past 15 years, had a bachelor’s de-gree and a minor in environmental science.
“The bachelor’s degree wasn’t work-ing very well for several reasons and the primary problem was that the cur-riculum was not stimulating and was not contemporary,” Winner said.
For the last several years a large number of faculty members and ad-ministrators of the University have been planning to retool the bachelor’s degree in environmental science, ac-cording to Winner.
“We just finished last fall so all we are doing now is creating the environ-mental science academic program. All the colleges in that residence with that specific college or department will own the environmental science aca-demic program,” Winner said.
Winner said before the revised pro-gram, there were five departments and three colleges for the environmental science program which had seven spe-cific concentrations.
“It was so fractured and discon-nected it wasn’t an integrated, system-atic, cohesive program,” Winner said. “Now all of the colleges all really have strong interest, strong programs and numbers of faulty and students inter-ested in the themes building around environmental science.”
Erin Champion, the environmental science and natural resources assistant coordinator, said the environmental science program is a more specific study of degree.
“Everyone will be in one major that before was all broken up into differ-ent concentrations,” Champion said.
Champion said the students who were in environmental science did not really connect with other students in different concentrations in environ-mental science.
“Now that everyone is all under one major, they all have one home and it’s easier for them to form those kind of connections and see that we’re here,” Champion said. “Now there is a place where students can go.”
Winner said all the colleges are in-volved, except the College of Humani-ties and Social Sciences.
“This is a special opportunity to give students internships to have the flex-ibility in their focal area, give them 15 credits in climate changing, sustain-ability and exposure to all sciences,” Winner said.
According to Winner, some of the elements of the environmental science
Study abroad fair for all interested will be held Sept. 16 in the Talley ballroom.
Nithya KoteStaff Writer
“I always tell people, don’t think about it — just do it! You won’t regret it,” Donna Dang, a senior in biochem-istry, said. Dang participated in study abroad programs in the past.
Students who are interested in studying abroad are encouraged to attend the study abroad fair to learn about the programs, as well as talk to students who have been abroad, ac-cording to Adam Steckler, assistant director of the study abroad office.
According to Steckler, the N.C. State Study Abroad Office will be celebrat-ing its 30th anniversary this year.
“At the fair, we’ll have information on all of our University programs, in-cluding semester programs and sum-mer, spring break and winter break
faculty-led programs, in addition, there will be some information on outside programs,” Steckler said.
According to Steckler, there will also be N.C. State students who have returned from studying abroad shar-ing their experiences with interested students.
“There will also be N.C. State stu-dents who have returned from study-ing abroad who will share their ex-periences with interested students, along with the faculty directors who lead our faculty-led summer, spring break and winter break programs. N.C. State study abroad advisors will also be there to answer questions,” Steckler said.
According to Steckler, students need to consider a variety of topics when deciding to study abroad. Students should consider the location of the program, the language the program will be offered in, the classes that will be offered with the program, living situations and the overall cost of the program.
According to Steckler, the ben-efits of study abroad are immense and long-lasting.
“Students can broaden their horizons, fulfill requirements for their major and minor, learn about a new culture, enhance their re-sume and improve their employ-ment prospects upon graduation, improve language skills, grow as an individual and become more independent and self-reliant, among other benefits,” Steckler said.
Natasha Vos, a senior in animal science and poultry science, has taken part in the study abroad program. She said she felt she had an invaluable experience studying abroad in New Zealand.
“I grew academically by learning about another country’s agricul-tural and animal science practices, as well as culturally through my interactions with everyone dur-

Fraternities and sororities oppose Campus Police’s way of reporting crime in Greek Village.
Chelsey Francis Deputy News Editor
It’s like, if two people get in a fight in your front yard, and you don’t know them, the fight is still reported as be-ing in your front yard, using your ad-dress.
This is the example Jon Barnwell, patrol division commander, and John Mountz, director of Greek life, gave in regards to the method of identifying where an incident occurs.
Technician publishes the police blotter in every edition of the paper.
Since Aug. 14, there have been two instances where the information in the police blotter was said to be incorrect by those listed. These incidences oc-curred at the Delta Delta Delta house and the Phi Delta Theta house. Greek houses are identified by the fraternity or sorority living at the house.
The Delta Delta Delta incident was reported as occurring on Aug. 15, at 1:26 a.m. According to the police blotter, six students were referred to the University for Underage Alcohol Consumption.
The Phi Delta Theta incident was re-ported as occurring on Aug. 21 at 2:07 a.m. According to the police blotter, a student reported purse stolen during
a party. Currently, this report is still pending.
Barnwell said the information re-ported in the police blotter is correct.
“That information is 100 percent correct,” Barnwell said. “Where we reported the incident as occurring is where it occurred.”
Barnwell said Campus Police is working with the Greek community to report incidences differently.
“We’re working with the Greek com-munity on this issue. If something happens on the street or sidewalk in front of a house, instead of saying it happened at the house,” Barnwell said.
Mou nt z s a id Greek Village is the area where most of the Greek houses are. Houses in Greek Village are all located on Fraternity Court.
“I’ve talked with Jon Barnwell try-ing to understand t he c on f l i c t ,” M o u n t z s a i d . “We’re working on a way to not identify the fraternity or sorority if an incident doesn’t include any members.”
Mountz said Campus Police under-stands the problems with the current way of reporting.
“Jon and Campus Police understand the desire of the Greek Community to protect their image,” Mountz said.
Adam Nussbaum, a member of Phi Delta Theta and a junior in computer engineering, said his fraternity does not have parties.
“We don’t have parties. We live in a dry house, so it’s prohibited for us to have parties,” Nussbaum said.
Nussbaum said the fraternity could get in trouble for having parties.
“Since we live in a dry house, we can get in trouble for what was published in the police blotter,” Nussbaum said.
According to Nussbaum, after he saw the report in the police blotter, he talked to the president of Phi Delta Theta and some other members.
“I told everyone I would handle this problem,” Nuss-baum said. “I con-tacted the editor of the Technician and Lt. Potts with Cam-pus Police asking for a retraction.”
Nussbaum said at the time all he want-ed was a retraction printed.
“At this point, I don’t care about a retraction, it won’t make any difference,” Nussbaum said. “I don’t think it is right the police or the Technician can report these things. Saying the organization name looks bad on the Technician. If it’s straight from the police blotter, it still looks bad on the fraternity.”
Nussbaum said Potts said he could
not change the report until the inves-tigation was completed.
According to Potts, at this point, the investigation is having problems con-tinuing and he understands it is not progressing as quickly as Nussbaum wishes it would.
“We’re not saying his fraternity had a party. The victim alleged it was a party,” Potts said. “I hope this works out. At this point, we’re not moving faster because of the non-cooperation of students.”
Rebekah Dunstan, a member of Del-ta Delta Delta and a senior in commu-nication, said upon reading the police blotter, she went to Mountz.
“I made sure none of the people were Greek affiliated,” Dunstan said. “It’s
bad press for us because people’s first reaction will be six tri-Delta’s were drinking.”
Dunstan said the problem with this issue is Campus Police cannot release the names of those referred to the Uni-versity to prove they are not affiliated with Delta Delta Delta.
“I think it’s unfair because Greek houses already have so many stereo-types to overcome,” Dunstan said.
Barnwell said he thinks the publica-tion of the police blotter is beneficial to the University.
“I think it’s a great thing. It helps get the word out,” Barnwell said. “It educates the community on the en-vironment they live in.”

academic program include: an office with advising sup-port, the environmental science faculty, an envi-ronmental science advisory committee, the Bachelor of Science degree in environ-mental science and the en-vironmental science minor.
“We want environmental science majors to exploit the existing minors on cam-pus, wherever that may be to build their own interest and connect to other disci-plines,” Winner said.
Key attractions for envi-ronmental science students are flexibility and the abil-ity to build their own pro-gram, Winner said.
“Students now have the opportunity to explore the University and develop
their own personal interest in environmental science while getting an education,” Win-ner said.
Winner said the program is rigorous and f lexible. It is designed to give students a de-fined area of study and to help them find a job in any field or in graduate school.
“Looking across landscapes, looking at the environment, the environmental science program we created is a belt for all of them,” Winner said. “It is reflecting our culture. It is the most innovative environ-mental program you can find at any university.”
ing classes and throughout my travels,” Vos said.
Vos said she enjoyed the op-portunities she had.
“I also had the opportunity to do lots of traveling and go on plenty of adventures that took me skydiving, bungee jump-ing, hiking and exploring the countryside,” Vos said.
Dylan Price, a senior in busi-ness finance and international relations, said he recommends students take part in the pro-gram, for any length of time.
Price said, “If not for a se-mester, even a summer pro-gram or spring break program will undoubtedly provide you with invaluable experience and learning.”
Price said his experience with study abroad improved his ex-perience at the University.
“I don’t think my experience here at State would have been as amazing if I hadn’t explored all the school has to offer me and taken advantage of its study abroad programs,” Price said.
Dang said she feels the study abroad program was afford-able.
“Studying abroad is probably one of the most affordable op-portunities for anyone to go abroad for an extended period of time and it is a big resume booster. I’ve met many students who regret not taking the ini-tiative to study abroad during their undergraduate year. Plus, when people talk to someone who’s been abroad, the general
feedback is definitely a positive one,” Dang said.
Catherine Clark, a sopho-more in psychology, said she is interested in studying abroad.
“I am aware of the fair and probably will go to the fair. I am interested in studying art in France,” Clark said.
Steckler said he encouraged all the students to go to the fair and see all the different options that were available.
“Any major can study abroad, it won’t set you back for gradu-ation and the programs at N.C. State are really affordable,” Steckler said. “With many of our programs students just pay their regular NCSU tuition and then pay whatever their living costs are abroad — so a semes-ter or summer abroad can be the same as staying here.”

To each his own
Last Friday, there was a column published in response to my previ-
ous column, “Let the Revival Begin.” I am always interested in hearing both criticisms and praises of my columns, and I encourage them. This specific
piece was in-terest ing to me because it more or less proved some of the points in my column. The problem w i t h s o m e “progressive” t h i n ker s i s t he y wou ld like to believe
they can think out of the box and see beyond traditional prejudices. The issue here is they carry too much of their own prejudices. If my column was considered with reasonable thought, it would be apparent the point was to justify believ-ing what you feel is right.
The column made several out landish and arbitrary claims. One that especial-ly surprised me was the claim that re-ligious fanat-ics and the other 99 per-cent who at-tempt to use the religious text as a way of def ining moral guide-lines are in fact interpret-ing the text in the same way. This brings me to my point once again. It is not the laws and guidelines that are necessarily wrong, but the in-dividuals who interpret them. The author of the column is a political science major like me. If anyone has taken the time to look at the United States Con-stitution, it is not difficult to realize it can be interpreted in multiple ways. The Constitu-tion protects my right to have freedom of speech. That being said, I do not have the right to yell fire in a crowded theater which could result in a rush to the doors that could cause injury or death to all those sit-ting in the theater. That would be immoral. Just like it would be immoral to use a religious
text to discriminate, harm, or even kill others.
The column suggested that accepting religion sacrifices human consciousness and ra-tionale. This statement truly undermines the human spirit. He is assuming that just be-cause one accepts religion they are giving up conscious reflec-tive thought. I would suggest many people come to faith after quite a bit of searching. It is not easy to have faith, and anyone who truly has faith will prob-ably agree with this claim. No matter how a person is brought up, there comes a point in all our lives when we have to make decisions for ourselves. The founders of this country dealt with these decisions just like every other person. As Zakk pointed out in his last column, skepticism was not uncommon in the founding of this country. However, there were those who accepted there was some sort of higher divine power beyond human control. It is problematic to suggest we can go through this life with-
out some sort of authority controlling huma n ac-tion.
As I have pointed out and the critics of my column have wrote, there are hu-man beings that can and do act im-morally. The key point in t hat s tate-
ment is human beings. We can all take something from the topics that have filled the pa-per the past couple of days. We need to learn as a people and a nation that there will be differ-ences in beliefs and opinions. If these differences and opinions are respectfully seen and heard; the best policies will be provid-ed for everyone. There is a need for humans to act morally. It is not appropriate to demean other’ views and opinions just because they are not like your own, whether they are religious or non-religious. If you want to complain about religion, you have to complain about people as a whole. Be responsible and be respectful, that is the basis of morality.

What do you think the benefits are of Campus Police publishing the
blotter? Why?
{ }IN YOUR WORDS
“It is very beneficial. People get a general idea of what things are happening and where on campus.”
Meagan Gentryfreshman, meteorlogy
“Not much beneficial, as people committing the crime get recognition in that way. I don’t care about it.”
Khalien Adamsfreshman, FYC

{ }OUR VIEW
Owning a home or rent-ing a place is most like-ly one of the greatest
things about being in college. Students don’t have to live in a dorm anymore and are most likely doing it with a group of friends. They are now free to come and go, have over any-one they want and even have parties. But, living in a house comes with more than just the freedom of being away from college or home.
Despite what is done on the property, it is still the owner’s or the renter’s responsibility. It is theirs to use, to tend to and cleanup. Whatever is outside of the house but in the yard is still considered “on the property” and the owner will have to take responsibility for it. They need to remember that when the
party spills out into the yard, it is still on their property and the police will report it that way.
There have been issues late-ly with discrepancies in the Campus Police blotter that is posted online for the public to see. Sororities and fraternities are being listed on the blotter location of a reported inci-dent, but are claiming they are not involved with the report. There has never been an issue with how the location is noted on the blotter before this year, although the policy has never changed. The blotter has al-ways been public record and is available to be printed freely.
To combat possible misun-
derstandings, homeowners and renters should aim to keep the party in or near the house. The party will be more man-ageable and the owner or rent-er will still be able to see who is there and what they are doing. Keeping close tabs on what is going on will give them more control on what is allowed and they can enforce rules to protect their own reputa-tion. They should also make sure visitors come and vacate the property when the party or event is over, to protect the owner’s or renter’s reputation.
Campus Police should make sure they are being as detailed and specific, as far as location and what goes in their narra-
tive. This will ensure their re-port is accurate and does not misconstrue what happened where.
Homeowners and renters should be aware of their prop-erty and their responsibilities, as well as their rights. Cam-pus Police should work to be as specific as possible in their reports to ensure the right people are being targeted and accused. Together, they can work to ensure the situation is fair on both sides and the facts are supported.
The unsigned editorial is the opinion of the members of Technician’s editorial board, excluding the news department, and is the
responsibility of the editor-in-chief.
Late night house callsTHE FACTS:On Aug. 15, at 1:26 a.m., the Campus Police reported six students were referred to the University for underage alcohol consumption at Delta Delta Delta. On Aug. 21, at 2:07 a.m., the Campus Police reported a student reported a purse being stolen during a party at Phi Delta Theta. Both organizations claim the Campus Police inaccurately reported the location on the Campus Police blotter. According to the CLEARY Act, the blotter is required to be published by 48 hours after the report was received.
OUR OPINION:Homeowners and renters should remember they are responsible for their home and their property. Their property does include the yard and the house.
“I don’t think it is too beneficial, as most people don’t know about it. I don’t think it is required.”
Christian Pereagraduate student, mechanical engineering
I have been following the debate in the viewpoint section about religion and politics for the past week and I have a couple comments to make about it.
Frankly, I think that everyone who has either written an article or submitted a letter to the editor is failing to address the real issue: Religion IN politics. I believe that White comes to closest to addressing the issue of the morality of religion in politics, but everyone else, even White at times, has resorted to fighting about the validity of Christianity. Though I understand that the Glenn Beck’s rally consisted of mostly Christians, the law isn’t to keep Christianity out of government affairs, its to keep religion out of goverment affairs. No matter what we believe about God, whether He exists and which god is real, we can all agree that our founding fathers were striving to keep all religions out of politics.
So, I ask again: Why has this argument devolved to trying to fight over the validity of one religion? If we all spent more
time helping others and working to show that our way of thinking/morality/life breeds good things instead of spending that time trying to out-logic someone, then maybe there wouldn’t be a reason for this debate at all. Christians wouldn’t feel like they have to defend their faith against nay-sayers, and non-Christians wouldn’t feel the need to call out Christians for the actions of their predecessors.
Katherine Sullivansenior, psychology
While reading the August 31 edition of the paper, I came across an article entitled “Biased professors pose problems,” by Emily Kelly. Reading this, I realized that I had shared the class Ms. Kelly referenced, and was extremely offended by this one-sided, false narrative, particularly considering that this is what the article charged another with.
To begin, she makes her first point a supposed guess at an entire department staff’s Presidential election votes. To my knowledge, voting is done in private, and there is no data correlating one’s teaching capacity to their voting record. As for the “quote” in paragraph 3, the professor had in fact been comparing murder rates, not crime rates, between states employing capital punishment with states that do not. Ms. Kelly rushed online and pulled not murder rates, but overall crime rates, which were completely irrelevant. After trying unsuccessfully to explain to Ms. Kelly, the teacher’s efforts were completely ignored, and she continued to say he was wrong, to which he said, not yelled, “I don’t
care.”It was in fact Ms. Kelly’s
behavior that was both “immature and unnecessary.” Ms. Kelly had been the one “so wrapped up” in her side of the argument that she was unable to comprehend that the discussion was not about supporting a political platform, but rather the effectiveness of the death penalty as a deterrent. Simply because Ms. Kelly’s starkly conservative nature prevents her from understanding anything other than Fox News or Sarah Palin does not mean all others have a liberal agenda. Furthermore, the evidence-lacking wild accusations, bordering on propaganda, she is directing at our teaching staff are nothing but detrimental to the N.C. State community.

Fanboyscouts.com offers badges similar to real Boy Scout badges, but for geek subculture awards.
Jordan AlsaqaStaff Writer
In recent years, a renewed interest in the geek subcul-ture has not only led to an in-crease in revenue for video games, comic books and genre films, but also for numerous merchan-dise based around them. PepsiCo h a s r e -leased sev-eral game-inspired f l a v o r s o f Mountain Dew, film and television show posters can be bought all around campus and there is even a Marvel-themed set of Silly Bandz.
With the popularity of sci-ence fiction and fantasy fran-chises so high, a vast market for entrepreneurs exists, waiting for the next creative product to take its share. With the launch of the Fanboy Scouts website in July, the next big geeky acces-sory may have been found.
Created by Brion Salazar, for-mer co-host of Around Comics podcast, fanboyscouts.com is a website that prides itself on providing the original geek merit badge. Made to resem-ble the same badges earned by Boy Scouts across the country in both size and material, the geek merit badges available from Fanboy Scouts are avail-able as a mark of honor to fans of various franchises across the geek spectrum.
According to Salazar, the idea for the product came to him rather suddenly, and was developed during and after the Chicago Comics and Enter-tainment Expo this past April.
“It was really a kind of ‘a-ha’ moment,” Salazar said. “I was looking at merit badges for real world activities online, and I imagined creating badges that a person couldn’t earn in real
life, but could if they lived in these f ictional
worlds.” O v e r t h e next three
months, Salazar began to develop his idea, working
o n d e -signs based
around sev-era l popu la r
science fiction and superhero franchises.
Fans of “Star Wars” can get a badge honoring Han Solo’s completion of the Kessel Run, while the “Harry Potter” faith-ful can display their sk i l ls with the Broom Jockey badge.
A s a means of showing off one’s enjoy-ment of a popular movie or show, geek merit badges provide a fun and simple meth-od. Kathleen Madden, a junior in creative writing, saw the potential of the product.
“The “Harry Potter” badge is pretty awesome,” Madden said. “I think it would be cool to accessorize outfits and bags
with them.” Designed and produced by
Salazar, the new product is entirely a labor of love. The first series of ten badges has been set at a limited produc-tion run of 1,000 copies p e r de -sign, due to the “one man opera-tion” nature of the business.
“The fact is that all of the badges are made by my wife and me,” Salazar said, “and so we can only make so many so quickly.”
More importantly, Salazar plans to expand the site with a new series of badges once the first series is retired, with the intention of releasing more as time goes on.
“[Fanboy Scouts] wasn’t something I designed as a ‘get-rich-quick’ scheme,” Salazar
explained. “My goal is to slowly build it into
something that people recog-
nize and is a mainstay of pop cul-ture.”
I n t he hopes of garnering this popu-
lar aware-ness, Salazar
isn’t the only person deciding
what badges will be produced in future series. A feature on the main site called “Suggest a Design” allows anyone to submit an idea for a badge, in the hopes it may one day be available in the store.
The feature has so far proven to be quite popular, and is
helpful for deciding what fans want to see the
soonest. “There are some ideas
t h at ge t suggest-ed over and over again, and then there are
others that are surpris-
ingly varied,” Sa la z a r sa id .
“The people mak-ing suggestions are also the
ones the product has reached and speaks to, so their opinions are critical in deciding what badges should be made when.”
One of the most important factors for Salazar to consider when beginning the site was the risk of trademark issues bring-ing trouble, as all the badges are based on popular franchises. Fortunately, Salazar has so far been able to avoid any prob-lems.
“I have several years of expe-rience searching for trademark and copyright information, so I was able to make sure nothing I’ve used is trademarked,” Sala-zar said. “At the same time, if [‘Firefly’ creator] Joss Whedon were to sue me for using the Browncoat image, I wouldn’t be able to fight that.”
Still, with steady sales num-bers and a genuine passion for the work in his corner, Salazar and the Fanboy Scouts website are going strong, providing a fun, new product for fans of all mediums and genres. As the site continues to grow, the product may find itself the next runaway phenomenon.

University alum and friend open new Pita Pit on Hillsborough Street, which offers healthy food at a low price.
Mark HerringCorrespondent
With dozens of eating options only minutes away from campus, many students tend to fall back on the cheap, fast and close ones. Although the convenience of pizza, burgers and sandwich joints usually outweighs the drawbacks of their unhealthy food, a new restaurant has deviated from this track. With over 300 locations in North America, the Pita Pit has just expanded and added one of its newest locations in Raleigh.
Opened by Kimit Shah and University alum Pritest Patel, the Pita Pit in Raleigh strives to serve inexpensive, tasty and, most importantly, healthy food to college students. Situated on Hillsborough Street, just next to Packbackers and Marco’s Pizza, the Pita Pit offers pita sand-wiches that can be filled with a variety of meat, vegetables and sauces.
“Healthy food does not have to be expensive,” explained Patel. “We understand that many students want to be healthy, but surrounded by fast food restaurants, it can be difficult. When I was in college I ate at a Pita Pit in Charlotte and Chapel Hill and thought it would do well
in Raleigh. Finally we have one.” The menu offers various permutations
and combinations of sandwich possibilities. Ex-amples of carnivorous fare include marinated chicken, Philly cheese steak and Gyro meat. Veg-etarian options include falafel, hummus and babagonoush (roasted eggplant spread). They also serve breakfast pitas all day long.
“More or less, it is like a Mediterranean Sub-way,” Patel said, before biting into the local spe-cialty, the Howl and Pack. “It’s spicy chipotle chicken and peppers, so by the time you’re done, you’ll be howling.”
In order to realize his dream to start up his own business, Patel partnered with longtime friend Kimit Shah.
“I worked in the hotel and hospitality busi-ness for many years,” Shah said. “The transition into the restaurant business has been smooth so far. For the most part, in the hotel business, I was mostly concerned that the customer was happy, and that is the same thing in working at a restaurant.”
The edge the Pita Pit yearns to use against its competition is healthy eating. At the cash reg-ister, customers can check the nutrition facts of what they order. “It’s a way for us to create more transparency between the customer and the food,” Patel said.
Moreover, the Pita Pit is not catching a ride on the healthy eating trend, but rather it is
setting the trend. “The company was started in 1995, and since
then its popularity grew tremendously,” said Corey Bowman, vice president of Franchise Development. “Right around this time, people started to become more concerned with living more health-conscious lifestyles.”
Bowman said he helps people like Shah and Patel get started with opening up new Pita Pit locations.
“From the application process to construction and opening, it takes about six months.”
Additionally, despite the adverse economic climate, the company is still expanding.
“We generally thrive in college towns and re-cently we have added a $10,000 credit to fran-chisees to develop in college centers.”
Being deeply rooted in the college community has been extremely lucrative for the Pita Pit.
“We are open from 10 a.m. to 12 a.m. on most weekdays, but Thursday, Friday and Saturday we stay open until 3 a.m.,” Shah said. “We see the most people between 1:30-2:30 at night.”
Only walking distance from many residence halls, student neighborhoods and bars on Hill-sborough Street, Patel said the late-night inebri-ated crowd can “satisfy their hunger, as well as eat healthy food.”
Not by coincidence, the two friends chose this location with much consideration.
“It definitely was a strategic move. We searched about five months before we got this location,” Patel said. Additionally—much to students’ con-venience—the Pita Pit also delivers and serves take out.
Pita Pit will host its grand opening Sept. 16, the
night of the football game against Cincinnati. “We just want people to stop by, get some good
food and celebrate school spirit,” Patel said. It is not just ambition that drives Patel and
Shah to come into work, but a deep connection with the University.
“We want to be integrated with the student body,” Patel said, “and in the future I hope we become a student landmark.”

ing into Sunday’s afternoon contest.
And it didn’t take very much time for State to take control against the Loyola Greyhounds, as Cain scored her second goal in as many games just 9:40 into the contest. Kristina Argiroff piled on by scoring her third and fourth markers of the sea-son on a pair of Krauser assists.
But for State, the afternoon belonged to Nadia Aboulhosn, who closed out the 6-0 victory with three goals scored in a span of less than seven min-utes.
“It felt really great,” Aboul-hosn said. “I felt like I was in a rut and I still need to improve, but it gave me a boost. Ev-erybody set me up per-fect for all of them.”
Wit h t he t e a m s e t to travel to Greenville to take on the ECU Pi-rates Friday, Aboulhosn s a i d t h e team’s ta l-ented group of freshmen will look up to the upperclassmen.
“[The freshmen] make it so easy,” Alboulhosn said. “They’ve all contributed im-mediately already and all we have to do is keep encouraging them. We just need to keep go-ing, keep everybody going with this momentum we have and I think we can continue to do a lot of things if we are able to stay consistent.”
Despite a successful opening to the season, coach Spring-thorpe said he understands how difficult it is to take a young team on the road and
continue the momentum. “That’s the bad part about
playing your first six games at home,” Springthorpe said. “Now you have to go on the road and you haven’t experi-enced that before. We have a lot of freshmen, and we’ll see how
we handle it. It’ll be some-t h i ng ne w and different for a lot of the players on our team.”
For Spring-thorpe, last year’s 2-5-1 road record was a d is-appoint-ment that will hopefully be corrected in
his second year. “We have to win when we
go on the road,” Springthorpe said. “If we don’t win, the re-cord just isn’t going to match what we want it to be and what our goals are.”
State will head back home to face Florida International following the team’s trip to ECU. The start time against the Golden Panthers is Sunday, September 12 at 1 p.m. from Dail Soccer Stadium.

third quarter because he hasn’t played quarterback since last November. One time we had twelve guys in the huddle, and he didn’t know it. “
The win over Western also marked the debut of the fresh-man running back tandem of Mustafa Greene and Dean Haynes. Haynes led the team in rushing yards, with 69 on 13 carries and one touchdown. Greene had 35 yards off of 10 carries and also contributed a touchdown.
“It was exciting and I had fun,” Greene said. “I was ner-vous at first, but when I got that first snap and that first block, I was fine.”
“It felt great. Mustafa got the first one, but it felt great to get a touchdown, [my] first college touchdown,” Haynes said. “I give all credit to the line.”
The next game for the Pack will be in Orlando, Fla., when it takes on the UCF Knights on September 11th.

Chris robbins/TeChniCianRedshirt freshman Dean Haynes plows through the Western Carolina goalline defense Saturday. Haynes lead the Wolfpack’s ground attack with 69 yards rushing and one touchdown in the season opener against Western Carolina. N.C. State won 48 - 7.

ond half scoring less than two minutes after halftime, but senior Chris Zuerner assisted Akil DeFreitas on the fellow se-nior’s first goal of 2010 to tie the game once again. State took a 3-2 lead on a goal by senior Ty-ler Lassiter in the 79th minute, but overtime was forced with less than four minutes remain-ing on a goal by the Hornets’ Chris Bettencourt.
Early in the second overtime, Zuerner passed to DeFreitas, who set up Smith for the win and the sophomore’s second goal of the afternoon.
Sunday’s showdown against No. 20 Louisville saw the Pack force overtime for the second
time in as many games. But unlike Friday, when coach George Tarantini and Co. pulled out a high-scoring victory, State ended up on the wrong end of a low-scoring affair Sunday, fall-ing 2-1 in overtime to the Cardinals.
Louisville opened the scoring on a header in the 19th minute for the only goal of the first half. Just a minute after the break, State tied the game on a cross from freshman Mamadou Kansaye to Alan Reiter.
Reiter’s goal was the last score of regulation, and the Cardinals handed the Wolfpack its first loss with a sudden-death game-winner less than three minutes into overtime.

N.C. State opens the season with a huge offensive output against Western Carolina
Jeniece JamisonSenior Staff Writer
The Wolfpack opened the season with a decisive 48-7 victory over the Western Carolina Catamounts. The game proved to be a display of the aerial attack of the offense, with redshirt junior quarterback Russell Wilson and receivers T.J. Graham and Owen Spencer putting up big numbers for the Pack.
Wilson went 21 for 31 on the day for 306 yards and four touch-downs.
“Russell threw a pretty nice ball and I’m just doing what I’m supposed to do and catching the ball,” Graham said.
Graham caught six passes for 96 yards and two touchdowns. Spencer added four catches for 92 yards.
“[T.J.] played great tonight,” Wilson said. He’s a hard-working receiver. He brought them in and made some plays tonight. And so did the rest of the guys as well.“
According to coach Tom O’Brien, the maturation of Graham occurred in spring practice.
“We’ve been saying all along that T.J. has been much improved as a receiver,” O’Brien said.” “It started in the spring and car-ried over into preseason camp. He would catch it and go to the ground until he got to spring practice, then all of the sudden, he made a move, caught the ball, and when the light went on or whatever, it was a good thing. “
Before kickoff Saturday, Graham had one career touchdown reception, and by the conclusion of the first quarter, had pushed his career total to three. Graham said he was pleased to see his efforts to become a more complete football player pay off on the best receiving afternoon of his career.
“I’ve been hounded by the coaches, saying that I haven’t been doing enough with my athletic talents, that I’ve just been get-ting by, “ Graham said. “In the offseason, I took it to heart to do what I’m supposed to do, so I made some strides to be more versatile and make plays. “
Despite putting up big numbers, O’Brien said he still sees plenty of room for improvement in his offense.
“Offensively I think we [have to] get Russell back in the swing of things,” O’Brien said. “We played him all the way into the

Pair of shutouts pushes women’s soccer team’s record to 4-2

State orchestrated a week-end sweep of Pittsburgh (2-3) and Loyola-MD (1-4) en route to clinching a win-ning record for its season-opening six-game homes-tand. Through six games, the Pack has not allowed a single first-half goal, while outscoring opponents 22-4.
Friday night, N.C. State held the Pittsburgh Pan-thers to just five shots in a 4-0 victory at Dail Soccer Stadium. Ariela Schreibeis, Kara Blosser, Tanya Cain, and Jennie Krauser scored second half goals following a defensive first half of play that only saw three shots between both teams.
Schreibeis, a freshman from Laramie, Wyoming, broke the scoreless tie in the 58th minute with an unassisted tally. It would only take 5:07 for State to pick up two more goals, both coming from experi-enced points leaders from
a year ago. Cain, a junior for-ward from Pinebluff, is one of those leaders who the Wolfpack counted on a season ago. After contributing 11 points and fin-ishing 2009 as her team’s third leading points getter, Cain said she felt relieved to finally break through for her first goal of 2010.
“I can’t remember the last time I scored in-season,” Cain said. “It feels like it was this
time last year. Hopefully it’s one of many.”
Cain became the 10th dif-ferent goal scorer for the Pack this season, which is a contrast from last year’s squad, which finished its campaign with just eight different players finding the net.
“We’re playing a lot of dif-ferent formations,” Cain said. “We have more offensive peo-ple this year and I think we are
just hungrier for the goals.” Along with a Blosser
header that found the back of the net just moments before Cain scored, star freshman Jennie Krauser also got on the board in the 86th minute to make it 4-0. The win over a quality Big East opponent gave the Pack plenty of momentum head-
