Effective immediately, NC State Student Government will launch HOWL FOR HAITI, a campus-wide disaster relief effort to aid Haitian earthquake victims. This will be a collective effort of our entire campus community to raise funds for Stop Hunger Now, our traditional philanthropy partner that has been charged with providing immediate relief to earthquake victims (See press release here).
Student Government will be organizing a number of donation collections across campus and at athletics events to help raise funds for this cause. SG would also encourage any student groups that are interested in holding fundraisers and contributing to do so. Our only request would be that money raised by student groups be committed to the HOWL FOR HAITI project as we hope that our relief efforts as the NC State campus community will be focused and unified. All groups that contribute to the cause will be rightfully recognized for their efforts.
Visit the HOWL FOR HAITI website here: http://students.ncsu.edu/haiti/.
If you or your student group is interested in participating in the HOWL FOR HAITI project, please contact Kelly Hook (kmhook@ncsu.edu) or Ericka Aiken (dsaiken@ncsu.edu).
All money raised by HOWL FOR HAITI participants should be delivered to the Student Government office: 307A Witherspoon Hall.
The first donation drive will occur at the NC State/Duke basketball game this coming Wednesday, January 20. Volunteer to help with this event here.
If you can't volunteer for the game, but are interested in volunteering for other HOWL FOR HAITI philanthropic efforts over the next several weeks, sign up here.
PLEASE, contribute to this effort in any way that you can. In times of international crisis, college students have been called upon to do their part in raising awareness and providing relief. This is our opportunity as a unified community to step up and show the world that the Wolfpack Family will answer the call. Please, do what you can to support the HOWL FOR HAITI project.
For more information, visit the Student Government website: http://students.ncsu.edu/.
To help spread the word, we have created a Facebook Group.
Yours in service,
Jim Ceresnak

Campout will be held outside of Reynolds Coliseum. Tents will be set-up in the mulch area and in the Reynolds parking lot. Groups may begin setting up at 5:00 p.m. on January 9th and Campout will officially begin at 8:00 p.m.
Student Government, UAB, and Campus Recreation have worked hard to ensure students will have a fun time at this year's Campout. There will be games, music, and a special Ugliest Carolina Fan Competition. UAB will be showing a special presentation of The Hangover and providing pizza to campers. Also, Alternative Spring Break groups will be selling snacks and hot beverages.
This year we are starting a new tradition to "honor" our opponents. We all know you can't get uglier than a true Carolina fan, but this year we are going to give it a try! To participate in the ugliest Carolina fan competition all you need to do is come dressed as a Carolina fan and bring a jar or a box to collect donations. The fan with the most money at the end of the night will win a $25 gift certificate to the NCSU bookstore. All proceeds from this competition will be donated to the Kay Yow Memorial Project.
While we want everyone to have fun, safety is our main concern. Please remember it will be COLD! Make sure to bring blankets and dress in layers. Also, tents and other camping gear are still available from Campus Recreation. Visit http://studentaffairs.ncsu.edu/checkout/ to reserve a tent by Thursday, January 7th, 2010.
If you have any questions please email Arialle Crabtree at akcrabtr@ncsu.edu. Let's make this the best Campout ever and show everyone our true Wolfpack Pride!

Just as a reminder, the weathers forecast for January 09, 2009 is very cold. Students should dress in layers and bring blankets to keep warm. Remember, this year the campout will take place at Reynolds, returning campout back to its tradition.
If a student needs a tent or sleeping bag, you will need to rent them from Campus Rec by Thursday. Below is an excerpt from the Campus Rec website:
