"SG to sell t-shirts for scholarship Maggie Luckadoo Issue date: 12/1/06 Section: News Fans wearing 1960s style red and white tie-dyed shirts may soon fill the RBC Center for basketball games. When Student Government bore the task of fund-raising for the WolfPack Student Initiative scholarship fund, Cody Williams, a senior in agricultural business management, opted to sell tie-dyed T-shirts. "So far I've ordered a little over 200," Williams, the executive chief of staff for the student body president, said. "The hope is to sell all these and order a lot more. I'd like the see the entire RBC Center covered in tie-dye -- behind the goal ? when people are shooting free throws, you get more of an effect when a bunch of people are jumping around in tie-dye instead of just a bunch of red shirts." Will Quick, student body president and a senior in biomedical engineering, said he is confident that the T-shirt sales will be successful. "I think they'll catch on," he said. Williams said the idea sprouted from similar fund-raisers at other Universities. "I had seen it at a bunch of other schools and I decided to give it a shot and see how it did," he said. The shirts will be on sale for $10 at the Dec. 20 game against Alabama, the Jan. 9 game against Clemson and the Jan. 20 game against Duke in the concourse of the RBC Center. Williams added that shirts may be purchased in the Student Government office as well as during women's basketball games in Reynolds Coliseum. According to Krista Ringler, associate director for scholarships and financial aid, the WSI scholarship is in its sixth year of existence. Ringler said student government helped create the scholarship fund. "They were instrumental in the establishment of this award," Ringler said. Quick said student government should be given the opportunity to help select scholarship recipients. "A memorandum of understanding is developed when a scholarship is endowed," Ringler said. Ringler noted that no part of the memorandum gave student government a role in the selection of recipients. Ringler said recipients are chosen based on financial need, academic merit and class rank. "The amount [of the scholarship] will vary over time. This past year the amount was at $1,000," she said. Ringler said the N.C. State Foundation holds the endowment for the scholarship. "Each year our foundation accountant gives us information for how much of the investment is able to be invested each year [in the scholarship]," she said. According to Travis Rankin, a sophomore in textile and apparel management and director of WSI, the T-shirt sale is not the only fund-raiser in the works. The first of many fund-raisers throughout the spring semester is a poker tournament during the last week of January. In February, students can purchase candygrams. WSI will send e-mail notifications to candygram recipients prompting them to go receive their messages in the Brickyard. For an additional charge, WSI will hand deliver the candygrams. March is "business marathon month" in which WSI hopes to have 100 businesses donate $50 each. Rankin also said WSI will host a social in May. "May's gonna be our big thing," Rankin said. In time, Ringler said the the foundation hopes to award more scholarships each year. "As the amount that's available grows we will cover as many students as we can," she said.

so why not think of something original and not just do whatever other schools are doing?

this is ridiculous.

When I read this thread, all I could think about was that part of Office Space when that fat dude is talking about his "jump to conclusions" mat:

12/1/2006 10:01:18 AM

this makes me so sad

for everyone knocking the "this is not red" shirts

atleast those are about our sports tradition...and i proudly wear mine

there is nothing positive about tie-dyed gayness

12/1/2006 10:06:52 AM

Can someone please make a concerted effort to make sure people don't buy these shirts.

12/1/2006 10:12:40 AM

this tshirt thing sounds like the ultimate gayness

12/1/2006 10:13:49 AM

i think we should donate the 10 dollars to have them not sell them

12/1/2006 10:19:33 AM

GAY

12/1/2006 10:23:25 AM

thank god there wasn't a positive thing said about them in this whole thread. please don't buy one. Does Will Quick really think wearing tie-dyed shirts will make people miss free throws?

12/1/2006 10:23:45 AM

IT WORKED REALLY WELL FOR SKIP PROSSER GUYZ!!!!1

12/1/2006 10:26:24 AM

they are going to look pink i'm sure from a distance ... fill the RBC center up with a bunch of Nancy's ... now THIS could be some kind of a conspiracy

12/1/2006 10:27:24 AM

someone needs to tell will quick, the poor mans also-ran SBP

that he is only helping to erode traditions that he is supposed to be preserving

12/1/2006 10:37:19 AM

how the hell could they have possibly thought this was a good idea? i really hope people don't actually buy/wear these.

12/1/2006 10:57:12 AM

i will only buy one if it has "WOLFPACK IN DA HOUSE" written with puff paint

They are going to look pink up close too, after you wash them once.

Since these are T-shirts, they'll have crappy red dye and will bleed alot, causing the whole shirt to turn pick, along with anything else you wash it with.

Leave it to SG to come up with brilliant ideas...

12/1/2006 11:05:24 AM

Tie Die Nation! Maybe we can play Zombie Nation at games too guyz!

12/1/2006 11:08:02 AM

why do you think quick likes them? cuz they already look pink.

the guy i saw selling them, the tie-dye was (obviously) red on white shirts, but when you tie-dye shit you don't get an even color distribution. there were big splotches of red and just as much pink. uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggllyyyyy.

i'm convinced this school/marketing department/whothefuckevercomesupwiththisshit can't think of one original or up to date fucking idea to save their lives.

Recent NCSU Genious:

1) We come out last year to "Ya'll read for this" from the original Jock Jams cd.
2) WITH - in the house was kinda 'cool' when i was in like 5th grade
3) Tie-dye t-shirts, cuz no one else in the ACC has those already
4) I like the new bball intro, but its still from the Bulls in like 1995. All we're missing is the laser bull's head on the court.

12/1/2006 12:19:21 PM

yeah I agree, I refuse to buy a shirt and I hope that buyers of these shirts get mocked and ridiculed

this is unbelievable

12/1/2006 12:29:57 PM

what better way to say to students that need scholarships "fuck you".

Here's an idea...

Quit freaking out. Its Red. Its White. Its for fellow students in monetary need.

WTF is the problem? Because its "not original"? Wake Forest did it?

If they look good, I may buy one. If not, I wont. I'll donate some money instead.

And not to defend either, but you all here are just the cream of the crop in comparision aren't you all? Aww. Little egos and all. If you didnt like this idea, perhaps you should have been more involved in your university's affairs, instead of playing in that Halo/Super Smash Bros Tournament all night.

Once again, how about not freaking out since at least the shirts are RED and WHITE.

12/1/2006 3:49:37 PM

wow everyone already makes fun of wake forest for those shirts when they somebody wearing one

how about we don't do this

they're ugly as nutsacks dude. i hope no one buys them, and this is coming from a student who could sure as fuck use some scholarship money.

12/1/2006 3:54:52 PM

i always thought the wake shirts looked pretty cool, it was different

they also have the cool spinners

i was thinking about buying one, especially since it's only 10 bucks and helping the scholarship fund

i also really like wolfpack in the house (brings back the good memories of the nWo)
