College Cup unites campus In the second annual College Cup event, students from all majors will join forces for a day of competition. Shawn Thompson Staff Writer
Student Government will be hosting the second annual College Cup on Saturday, March 31, from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Harris Field. The Campus Community event features special guests Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Tom Stafford and Chancellor Randy Woodson. “As Campus Community Committee chair, I have been working hard with the committee to organize it. What better way to unify our awesome University than through friendly and competitive events between the different colleges?” Jennifer Layton, senior in political science, said. Scott Moore, founder of the event and previous member of Student Government, started College Cup a year ago to bring people from different colleges across campus together. “Last year everyone really enjoyed themselves and all the challenges were fun. Students should come out and support their colleges, even if they’re not participating,” Emerson Barker, senior in political science, said. Layton said the event is meant to unify N.C. State’s colleges by giving students from all around the University an opportunity to interact in various competitive events. “These events will be both brains and brawn events. The events will be held on both Main and Centennial campus, and there will be food, prizes and lots of fun promised,” Layton said. All colleges will compete to win the title of this year’s champion. Each college will have a team comprised of five to 10 students who will participate in various types of games and challenges. “College Cup is an event to bring together all the colleges across campus. This is a great way for all students to come together while having fun and meeting new people at the
same time,” Barker said. Participants that have registered to compete, or students who want to cheer on their colleges, will meet at Witherspoon Student Center. At Witherspoon, the College Cup “brain” portion of events will take place. “College Cup sounds like a lot of fun. I think this event is a great chance to interact with new people outside the specific college you belong to on campus,” David Brown, an undeclared junior, said. Events will vary from team trivia to memory challenges and spelling bees. “We want these events to be fun and challenging at the same time,” Layton said. After the brain segment of events, the Wolfline will bring participants and supporters to Centennial Campus where everyone will be served pizza. The “brawns” portion, or physical challenges, will take place after refreshments. Students can expect to compete in everything from water balloon tosses to egg and spoon races. “Hopefully, these light-hearted activities will be competitive but also relaxing and allow students to kick-back and have a really great time,” Layton said. At 3 p.m. the events will end and Chancellor Woodson will award the College Cup Trophy to the winning team. “We want this event to have a lasting impact on students that reminds them we are all members of the Wolfpack community,” Layton said. “Sometimes we get caught up in our colleges, on different campuses and within our majors, but coming together for a day of competitive events on both Main and Centennial Campus will hopefully foster unity within the University.” Students who are interested in participating or attending events can visit the College Cup website at http://students.ncsu.edu/collegecup.

N.C. State makes strides to help athletes succeed in class With the end of basketball season, athletes have switched gears and are heading back to class. Sam DeGrave Correspondent
With March Madness drawing to a close and spring sports well under way, N.C. State’s student-athletes are making headlines and being recognized for their excellence in athletics. However, there is another side to these individuals most students and fans rarely think about. Basketball season may have ended last Friday night with a heart-breaking loss to the Kansas Jayhawks, but the athletes are still in the middle of another equally important season— known to most as spring semester. Monday morning, the members of
the men’s basketball team hung up their jerseys and returned class. For many students, such as Jackie Wyche, a freshman in First Year College, seeing players off the court is a surreal experience. Wyche sits behind sophomore C.J. Leslie, power forward for the men’s basketball team, in principles of microeconomics every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. “It’s almost an out-of-body experience seeing C.J. Leslie sitting right in front of me, doing the same work I’m doing,” Wyche said. All the hype surrounding college sports makes it easy for people to forget that the athletes they are watching on television are not only students as well, but are held to similar, and in some cases more rigorous, academic standards as their non-athlete peers. Competing at the
collegiate level, now more than ever, subjects athletes to intense pressure as they are expected to perform to the best of their abilities both on and off the court. Though the task of balancing school, practice and competition may seem daunting to many athletes who find there simply isn’t enough time in the day, the University does offer help to athletes in a variety of ways. SeQuoia Watkins, a freshman in First Year College and thrower for N.C. State’s track and field team, is quite familiar with the stress that accompanies being a student-athlete. Watkins claims, however, despite the difficulty athletes encounter, the University constantly works to en-

University gives thanks to donors at ‘Thank You Day’ At the first ‘Thank You Day,’ campus united to appreciate donor contributions over the past 125 years. Shawn Thompson Staff Writer
During ‘Thank You Day,’ students and faculty showed their appreciation for 125 years of contributions to campus education on the Brickyard. Annual Giving is an organization that helps bring donors who support N.C. State through alumni and private gifts. These contributions help increase scholarships, strengthen curricula, fund community service, enrich the library and sponsor the arts. On March 29, the organization hosted the first ‘Thank You Day’ from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to acknowledge N.C. State’s donors and their ongoing support of Wolfpack education. The ‘Thank You Day’ celebration included a giant thank-you card for students to sign, 500 free shirts and much more. “The ‘Thank You Day’ card is for students to show their appreciation to donors and alumni. We just want to thank them for everything they do for our education,” Mary Brooks, senior in business manage-

through giving back. “N.C. State is full of philanthropy. This event recognizes that great quality about the University, and continues to motivate students to follow that tradition,” Pessicek said Gifts from the campaign will go to any department that the donor wishes- Student Affairs, the arts or the library, for example. This gives seniors the opportunity to choose where their contribution goes at N.C. State. Students who give donations will receive a thank-you letter from the senior class president, and be recognized in the 2012 SCGC honor roll on Facebook and on the senior class website. Donors of $20.12 or more will also receive a class lapel pin and an invitation to the Burgers and Brew event with Chancellor Randy Woodson. Seniors who are interested in participating in the campaign and becoming a donor, can visit www. http://giving.ncsu.edu. “I’m currently a freshman, but I will definitely be giving back once I graduate. I want to help future students the same way I have received help from others,” Omri Jones, freshman in First Year College, said.

The Grand Old Party sets up to hit North Carolina in May With upcoming primaries, students weigh in on where their vote will go. Lindsey Rosenbaum Staff Writer
May is fast approaching, and with it will come the North Carolina GOP primaries. While students on campus still have a few weeks to throw their support behind a Republican candidate, the primaries continue to rage on in other states. Four Republican candidates remain, each relying on a different strategy. Ron Paul has been playing the delegate game, while Mitt Romney seems to be the favorite to win the nomination, if he could seem more accessible to his voters. Rick Santorum has been playing up the ultra-Christian conservative card, and Newt Gingrich, after scandal erupted when his first wife admitted he had asked her for an ‘open marriage,’ seems to have lost the media’s interest. While Romney looks like the favorite to win the nomination, Santorum recently swept the Louisiana primaries. “I’m not running as a conservative candidate for

sure their academic success. Watkins was a part of the summer START program last year- a program she said helped acclimate her to the time constraints many athletes face. “We have to do in four days what everybody else has to do in five,” Watkins said, discussing the limitations often imposed upon athletes by competitions and other means. The summer START program works to combat this problem by allowing students to take entry level classes over the summer, helping them grow accustomed to the college environment and the fast pace of life as a student-athlete. START is not strictly for athletes, nor do all athletes participate in it. However, for many athletes like Watkins, it is a valuable resource. In addition to START, the University has other methods for helping athletes maintain the grades they need. Carrie Leger, director of the Academic Support Program for Student-Athletes and a former student-athlete herself, works with students to develop an appropriate plan of action that fits each student’s academic needs and is customized for their schedule. Leger says the key to academic success for athletes is working not only with them, but coordinating efforts with their teachers, advisers and tutors to help come up with the plan that best suits the student. “We’re not on an island by ourselves, we are collective and transparent in what we do,” Leger said, elaborating on the importance of working as a unit with all of the resources available to the student-athlete. This past fall, the board of directors of the NCAA increased the initial eligibility standards for athletes. However, Leger does not foresee this being a problem for the student-athletes or the faculty of N.C. State.
president,” Santorum said following his victory. “I am the conservative candidate for president.” Though Santorum continues to prove his strength in southern states, many, like professor of political science, Steven Green, believe there should be no reason to expect Santorum will expand his base or challenge Romney as the front runner. However, the division of the Republican Party around four candidates could be detrimental during the fall elections. “The long struggle is starting to show the weaknesses in Romney,” Green said. Romney has been gaining a lot of negative coverage as of late. He has been accused of not being able to connect with his voters or seal the deal on legislative matters. Many voters simply aren’t inspired by him, and the more attacks he gets from his opponents, the weaker he seems. While Santorum’s reliance on religion in his politics have made many uneasy, it has been helping him secure votes in more conservative states. Some don’t agree with his strategy. “Honestly, I consider myself to be Christian, and I despise
that he is using his religion to gain votes,” Krystal Rodas, sophomore in human biology, said. “It is so frustrating because now everyone will compare Christians, or religious people, to him. He just hurt himself and others by saying things like ‘vote for the true conservative.’” Green states that it’s not so much someone who holds views like Santorum that is a shock, but that he’s doing so well in the primaries. He compares Santorum to Rick Perry, who withdrew from the race a few months back. “[Perry] holds views similar to Santorum without being a crusader,” Green said. In this respect, he believes Perry could have been a viable GOP candidate. “If it hadn’t been uncovered he’s too stupid for the presidency,” Green said. “He’s just trying to contrast with Obama, though,” Garrett Tew, junior in mechanical engineering, said. “A lot of people have issues with Obama and his religion. But it kind of works for Santorum, because some voters just want to get back to a more conservative White House.” Sights now turn to North Carolina, as the May prima-
ries are just around the corner. Many students are already speculating the winner. “Probably Santorum,” Tew said. “Romney is a Mormon, and people from the south just don’t really like that. Also, people from the south think Romney is a big flipf lopper, a fake just looking for votes.”
“Let’s be realistic,” Rodas said. “Take N.C. State as a prime example of students who are apathetic toward Student Government. They just grow up and become apathetic about politics in general, and then it’s still all about whose name you hear the most. Even though Santorum is criticized all the
-
time, people will think [the criticism] is just because he’s Christian.” However, this won’t necessarily be the case in May. Romney has the means and the funds to focus on North Carolina and, according to Green, “If Romney wants to win this state, he will.”

Keep D.H. Hill the predominant library T
The Facts:
University administration is contemplating whether to shift its resources from D.H. Hill Library to James B. Hunt Jr. Library and create a new primary Library for students.
Our Opinion:
The wide accessibility of D.H. Hill Library is the reason it is such a successful facility currently. Administration would be wise to adapt the current facility while it is unveiling another.
he coming of the new high-tech James B. Hunt Jr. Library has increased the need for student input about whether the University’s resources should be maintained to keep D.H. Hill Library as the flagship library for campus or shift to the new library. Susan Nutter, vice provost and director of Libraries, spoke to student leaders at last Wednesday’s President’s Roundtable and asked for direct student input as to which library should be open around the clock. As obvious as it may seem, D.H. Hill is the campus favorite and should be maintained as the primary library of N.C.
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.
State. Its central location to main campus and close proximity on most residence halls makes it an easy, accessible resource for students. However, the technological funds the University is investing in the new library should spill over into the old facility. While Hunt Library will be a resource for engineering majors from all disciplines who frequent Centennial Campus, the library will be open to the public during normal business hours and then to students only after normal hours, much like D.H. Hill.
Hunt Library will act more as a social and educational center for students, due to its lack of open stacks—mainly because they will be stored and retrieved for students. The new library will be able to seat 10 percent of its patrons, double the amount D.H. Hill can handle. This should be an indicator of some possible modifications for D.H. Hill so it can accommodate more seating for students. With Centennial developing more and more, the appearance student housing
near the new library will be up in no time. While some students may be living close to this new building, the majority of students will be near D.H. Hill. The issues of limited parking and transportation are contributing factors as to why Hunt Library is an insufficient facility for a primary library. Along with safety issues, which could arise from potential students in transit to the new library, it is only logical to maintain and enhance D.H. Hill Library as the predominant facility for students.
Do something
T
he N.C. State Women’s Center and their program, The Movement, hosts Take Back the Night, an annual event to spread awareness about rape a nd sex u a l assault while supporting survivors of these crimes. T h i s yea r’s event was met Nijah with not a dry Toshumba eye in the auStaff Columnist dience. As a part of The Movement, my opinion on this event and subject may be slightly biased, but at the same time I believe it is something most would agree on; our society needs more than just a simple reality check. Even though the statistics can be shocking, one in four college women will be sexually assaulted before graduation, and every 90 seconds a woman in the U.S. is raped—it still continues to happen. Even with all this information, it seems as though our society isn’t coming together to stop rape, do more against those t hat commit it or even support organizations who are trying day in and day out to bring awareness to interpersonal violence and rape. Instead, it is as if we continue to make excuses for rape or any form of abuse. Victim blaming is a stance taken by many, meaning we focus more of our hate and disgust toward the women or men who are victims of sexual assault rather than the offender, because the victims were “asking” for it. The Women’s Center and The Movement continuously work hard to convey that things need to change in our society or they are just going to get worse. I am more than certain if you were to walk around this campus and ask students if they thought rape or physical abuse was wrong,
100 percent of them would say “Yes.” But if you were to ask those same people if they were taking steps to stop it and educate those around them, the numbers would be less than half. People who take interest in fixing what is wrong in the world tend to get a bad rap, especially when the rest of society does not think it is a big deal. But it is, and it needs to be changed. Sitting on the f loor listening to all these women and men tell their stories about their encounters of rape or physical abuse made me sick to my stomach—because 70 percent of them felt it was their fault. What kind of society do we live in that people who have obviously been sexually assaulted or abused don’t blame the individual who hurt them, but rather themselves? Tell me, what sense does that make? This may sound like another long, dragged out speech about how rape and abuse is wrong. It is wrong. Unless you go out and do something about it, things may never change. It shouldn’t just be a small group of us who are actually doing something; everyone should be out there reminding people that rape, sexual assault, physical and mental abuse are all wrong, and it should never be ok. Even if all those who attend Wednesday night’s event never join The Movement, write to get the punishment for sexual assault changed or say a word about it to anyone, it makes me happy enough to know they are now somewhat educated, whether they stayed five minutes or the entire night. At least they came and showed their support. Don’t stand by idly—do something.

What part of the new library on Centennial are you most excited about? What do you want in it? by Chris Phipps
Rachel Jordan, sophomore in architecture
Look up
Y
ou will encounter millions of people in your lifetime. Whether you walk by them in passing, engage in thought-provoking conversation with them or k now the person through the intimate covenant of Alex Lewis marriage, Staff Columnist it will occur one way or another. Regardless of this, everyone has a story to tell and a background to explain their current position in life. Most people have a drive for success or wish to make an impact in the world around us. With our busy schedules, it appears as though we have no time for such and can become physically depressed due to our circumstances. Don’t let this get you down. Look up—you have a purpose. Going about my usual daily routine, I find it is easy to get lost in the masses and feel like an insignificant part of the complex array of society. As college students, we are constantly bombarded with stressful assignments and occasionally have a desire to do things that are beyond our financial means. These negative pressures can easily lead
to feeling extremely overwhelmed, which is often difficult to alleviate. According to the Suicide Awareness Voices of Education, suicide is the thirdgreatest cause of death in young people aged 15-24. This is alarming. There is absolutely no reason for a person to cut their own life short. I encourage you to look at the big picture if you are considering this way out— think of the people you will impact by committing suicide. Unfortunately, suicide rates are highest in the spring. Wit h e x a m s ju s t a rou nd t h e c o r n e r, the pressure is mounting for academic success. However, there is help if you feel there is not another way out. The University’s counseling center is available 24 hours a day. Contact them if you are having issues. I try to seek value and make the most of everything I do. For a couple of summers, I had the opportunity to work as a residential camp counselor near my hometown in south-eastern North Carolina. Located in an insectinfested swampland, this camp could easily be written off as the last place you would want to spend your sum-
mers. However, there is much more to it than the physical location. As the camp director said, if the camp’s property and trees burned to the ground, the camp would still exist. The camp was the spirit of the campers and staff members. As poor as the pay was, I built relationships and made an impact on the campers which are not worth any amount of currency. You have made an impact on someone, even as a college student. Whether it’s the way you live you r l i fe , your attention to detail in every assignment you c omplete, or a ch i ld you once tutored a nd mentored, something you’ve done is remembered by someone. The odds are certainly in your favor. You will interact with millions of people before you pass on. As college students, we have a drive for success and a desire to impact. Continue to strive for this, but keep your head up—you already have.

When stuck on a college campus, people don’t seem to realize that there are better options than the generic meat, pasta or veggies offered in dining halls. Raleigh is host to an array of authentic and eclectic restaurants serving hearty, delicious eats that will leave tummies full with sustenance, spilling over a post-meal unbuttoned pair of pants. So where can you go to find a meal as described above? Well there are certainly plenty of places to visit, but here are some restaurants that have caught the eyes of Raleigh locals.
Busy Bee Café In the heart of downtown, close to Fayetteville Street, you’ll find a place that offers good food, good beer and good times. Known for its impressive selection of assorted craft beers and distinctive burgers, Busy Bee Café is, as co-founder Woody Lockwood puts it, “the neighborhood bar that your friends come to.” “The intent of our food that we serve is meant to be casual dishes that compliment the beers we serve. Our menu is primarily based off of the beer,” Lockwood said. From that approach came the inspiration for some of
its most popular items, such as the succulent Tom & Jack burger from the assorted line of original handcrafted sandwiches, and the juicy Hatfield pork tenderloin served with seasoned brussel sprouts and cheese grits. Most of the chefs’ inspiration, though, went into their most famous dish, widely known amongst customers as the loaded tots. This dish is a combination of deep fried tater tots topped with cool sour cream, melted cheddar cheese, chives and savory bacon bits—perfect to gratify your taste buds during a stressful basketball game or a late-night craving just after hitting up the club. Apart from its food and distinguished label as the connoisseur of beers, Busy Bee Café offers a welcoming and diverse environment. It’s a place where you can enjoy good times with a good meal and a great drink.
Caffé Luna Olive Garden or Macaroni Grille may be good for a cheap, fast night out, but they are no match for one of downtown Raleigh’s authentic Italian restaurants—Caffé Luna can simply be described as a slice of Italy. Utilizing fresh and true ingredients alongside the culinary skills of an Italian chef, the restaurant creates dishes that you could only find and taste within the heart of Italy. One of its most popular and original items on the menu is lasagna. An old Italian favorite, Caffé Luna’s lasagna is a filling dish staying true to its
traditional roots. It is composed of fresh-layered pasta smothered in ragu bolognese and béchamel, a traditional tomato sauce. For the vegetarian and vegan crowd out there, a hot-selling dish is the portobello ripieno, consisting of portobello mushrooms stuffed with gorgonzola cheese and tomatoes. Alongside any of these items, a glass of wine is recommended to ensure a true Italian meal experience. At Caffé Luna, the idea of sticking with the same menu and offering original specials each day is what “brings back the customers,” Parker Kennedy, owner, said. When visiting, customers will be dazzled by the original artwork hanging on the walls, the smell of authenticity and the experience of an Italian kitchen.
Lilly’s Pizza For some seasoned pizzalovers, Papa John’s and Domino’s are too mainstream. So, Raleigh’s got a place to please your hankering for a creative pizza experience. Located within the Five Points neighborhood is a little venue called Lilly’s Pizza. Don’t expect to find any pokey sticks here. Whether customers prefer a simple, traditional cheese pizza or are a bit more daring, Lilly’s has a pie for everyone. For all the vegetarians, vegans and celiacs out, don’t feel left out, because there are plenty of options to choose from. Try the ever-so-popular Buddah, a specialty pie con-
sisting of olive oil, spinach, roma tomatoes, zucchini, kalamata olives and a blend of cheeses. For the meat-eaters, the Super Duper offers a traditional take on cheese pizza with the addition of four hearty meats sure enough to make you die and go to heaven. Anyone who enjoys a nice kick in their meal should try Dante’s Inferno, a pie inspired by barbeque chicken, loaded with cheese, barbeque sauce and chicken, savory bacon, crisp red onions and bell peppers. If customers feel that none of Lilly’s pies appeal to their desires, the menu allows them to get creative and construct their own. “We evolve within our own dynamic with simple goals of being fresh and whole-foods oriented and also to ensure a fun experience,” Jon Garrison, owner of Lilly’s Pizza, said. “Our customers appreciate this; the lines on weekends will attest.” Even though its name and brand comes from the pizza, Lilly’s also serves a multitude of other Italian dishes in order to appeal to everyone’s

Art 2 Wear takes pre-show enthusiasm to larger runway Hillsborough Street Community Service Corporation partners with Art 2 Wear to publicize event. Mark Herring Features Editor
Art 2 Wear has the growing reputation to push the fashion envelope, and Saturday April 18 student designers will go the extra mile to publicize the upcoming event. Students will parade outfits featured in previous Art 2 Wear shows, the student premier fashion show, from Sadlack’s bar to East Village restaurant. Down the milelong stretch on Hillsborough Street, the designers will march in high heels. “We’re looking for more exposure for them,” Ashley Merrill, a senior in parks, recreation and tourism, said. “Art 2 Wear is creative, different and innovative. It’s looking into the future.’ Since January, the selected designers have been developing their clothing line for the April 24 show, hosted by the College of Textiles and the College of Design.
Larisa Baransky, a senior in textile technology, said she’s been working nonstop since she planned to enter the competition before the Jan. 20 jury date, and sees this event as a way to raise the show’s awareness. “Art 2 Wear is growing, but it’s fun to get people excited about the show,” Baransky said. “They are trying to make a big costume show to get ridiculous and walk down Hillsborough with some ridiculous crazy dresses.” Baransky said she’s not deterred from walking the mile in heels and said it’s a challenge that needs mutual support. “We even have Jason Cooper, [senior in communication] whose character was a transvestite in the Arts N.C. State’s RENT, come to the event and walk in heels,” Baransky said. “We even tried to convince Dean Malecha [dean of the College of Design] to do it. He said he’d get back to us.” Though the walk won’t spoil any surprises for the upcoming show, Baransky said current and previous Art 2 Wear designers will share
some examples of their older works and their inspiration. The jury selected a diverse group, with some aesthetic inspirations ranging from the natural world imagery to emotional turmoil. Baransky calls her style “glamour gore.” “It’s got lots of blood inspiration and anger and vulnerability,” Baransky said. “All the things from the breakup of my last relationship. The line’s called Lovesick. But it’s been great designing it and I’ve learned a lot.” With the rush of school and the impending pressure of the show, Baransky said the Saturday march will be a fun way to get people excited about the show and to revamp her energy. Jeff Murison, executive director of the Hillsborough Street Community Service Corporation, said the event will strengthen University and community dynamics. “We’re excited to see Art 2 Wear come out because they have a great thing going on,” Murison said. “We want to support them and celebrate their work, and bring people out and get excited.”

It’s a way to change things up at a lower cost.” As a textiles student Chen said certain scarves are more appropriate matched with certain outfits. “If you’re wearing a looser outfit, you should wear a smaller scarf. Longer scarves should be worn with tighter outfits,” Chen said. “A girly outfit should be accessorized with a print scarf; it looks more fun that way. If you’re going for the sophisticated look, then wear a solid colored scarf.” S c a r ve s wor n i n t he When looking for a summer are mostly just wardrobe update, adding fashion statements, but a scarf brings vibrant color sometimes they can still be with little cost. used for functional reasons. “My take on scarves during Mahvish Zakaib the summer is that they Correspondent should be made out of cotton The alarm clock rings at 7 and linen since it’s mainly a.m., and rolling out of bed used to keep sun off of you as still half asleep, you approach well as cool breezes,” Morgan your closet.

for this spring and summer, and [add a] bright pop of something,” Dudley said. “You can have a neutral scarf and throw it over a T-shirt and there you go, you just made yourself look like a hot mess.” Scarves are used in many more ways than just around the neck. They can also be used as bandanas, but Dudley said there are certain looks to avoid. “The thing about using scarves as a bandanna is that you’re pushing your hair back so everyone’s eyes are directly attracted to your face, it brings attention to you so you need to make sure it matches your hair color and your outfit,” Dudley said. Scarves are also getting popular as bracelets and bag accessories. A popular trend is to tie a bright patterned scarf around a solid-colored bag. When going for the bracelet-look, make sure to use a thin, small scarf so your hand doesn’t look overwhelmed by the size of the scarf. Ad rienne Johnston, a senior in art and design and textile technology, said she has grown fond of a few scarf trends. “I think tangerine tango is very in these days and it should be a must-have, as well as prints.” Adrienne is also making scarves and is selling her first batch at Textile Fashion Week. She said that it takes two hours to weave one scarf. “I like making scarves b e c au s e e ve r y one h a s s c a r v e s . . .t h e y a r e f o r everyone.

hopefully get a sweep.” Despite Rodon being the flashiest on the staff, State’s pitching armory is filled with solid players who can make the difference on the mound this weekend. Junior right-hander Ethan Ogburn has a 1.73 ERA and two wins over three starts, while junior righty Chris Overman, who was named a preseason AllAmerican by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association of America, can dominate when called in from the bullpen. Both teams are going to be hungry for wins this weekend as both are in striking distance of the top of their respective divisions. The series between N.C.

We all have that sense of comfortability since a lot of the guys are actually from here.” The mix Choi references is how, apart from the three Canadians on the roster, the other eight players are all going to school in their home state. Two of those in-state players, freshmen Andrew Decker and James Chapman, have taken advantage of a combined 26 rounds of playing time. “They’re both great players and they know how to step up when someone drops out of the lineup or something comes up,” Choi said. “We have a lot of seniors leaving this year, and I am pretty confident the freshmen will learn a lot and will be playing a lot more next year.” “Those guys are definitely helping the team

It’s been good for our team.” Moving forward, both team leaders have different mindsets on how they each want to improve their own games. For both, confidence is the main key. “[The wrist] has been 100 percent since I started playing tournaments,” Sutton said. “It’s obviously tough

It’s just that one day where we didn’t perform very well that really got us.”

Kathy Bounds, Deb Webb and Genie Jordan founded the first basketball club for women in 1973. Foster appointed Robert Doak to be the first women’s basketball coach in 1974 and eventually appointed former women’s basketball coach Kay Yow, who was then a physical education professor at Elon University. When Yow first arrived at State, she originally coached volleyball and led her team to the State title. She also served as a softball coach for the Pack. In 1975, she became the first full-time coach of women’s basketball at the University and in the state of North Carolina. She was also the coordinator of women’s sports for the Wolfpack.

Pack prepares for a duel with the Cavaliers Trio of UNC stars to enter NBA Draft Sophomore wing Harrison Barnes, junior power forward John Henson and sophomore point guard Kendall Marshall are all entering the NBA draft, North Carolina announced Thursday. Adding to the departure of 7-footer Tyler Zeller, who is graduating, the Heels have lost four-fifths of their starting lineup. UNC, victorious in three match ups against N.C.

State hosts Raleigh Relays More than 2,000 collegiate and high school athletes will participate on Friday and Saturday at the Raleigh Relays, one of the largest track and field meets in the nation held annually at NC State’s Derr Track. The Wolfpack, after sending sprinters, jumpers and throwers to three different meets in the first two weekends of the outdoor season, will field a full squad in the two-day event, including All-America runners Kenyetta Iyevbele (800 meters) and Andie Cozzarelli (10,000 meters)..

Team will face hot hitters at season’s midpoint. Ben Christoph Staff Writer
N.C. State will take on Virginia in Raleigh this weekend in a three-game series that could catapult the 20th-ranked Pack to the top of the ACC Atlantic Division. The Wolfpack (17-6, 6-3) will look to end the first half of the regular season with a strong series against the Cavaliers (17-8-1, 6-4), which could be a tall order as UVA comes into town riding a six-game win streak, claiming victory in 10 of its last 13 contests. “We can’t respect them too much or too little,” freshman Trea Turner said. “We just need to go right at them. We’re going to stay focused.” Turner, who continues to prove himself as a talented newcomer, could use a bounce-back after suffering a minor slump at the plate against UNC and ECU, going 4-for-16. More noticeably, Turner has scored only one run over those four games—a departure from the norm for the team leader in runs scored (26). Junior Chris Diaz will try to help power the Pack’s run production, preparing himself to maintain his standing as one of the top five players in the conference in terms of hits and RBI’s per game.

Some statistics, no matter what sport they pertain to, are worth a double take. For example, the last five All-Americans to come out of N.C. State’s men’s golf program are actually AllForeign—Garth Mulroy and Justin Walters (South Africa), Jason Moon (Australia), Stephen Lewton (England), and Matt Hill (Canada) represent the best of the Pack’s past decade. In 2010-2011, the international All-American trend showed signs of continuing as Canadians Mitch Sutton and Albin Choi earned Honorable Mention AllAmerica honors. Sutton, now a junior starting to regain his form after a wrist injury, had a scoring average of 71.89 and was also an All-ACC selection. Choi, now a sophomore, was a unanimous choice for ACC Freshman of the Year after posting the fourth lowest scoring average in State’s history. This season has been more difficult for a duo who grew up playing competitive junior golf against each other. Sutton was limited to just three rounds of golf in the fall following the injury and has not finished in the top-20 this season. Choi also has struggled at times despite six top-20 showings and his third individual title—but the talent and drive remains the same for
the conference (.213) and have the lowest total runs and hits allowed. As part of the young blood on this team, freshman southpaw Carlos Rodon will look to complement the leadership of the upperclassmen on the team and burn up the Virginia batters with a nasty fastball that has embarrassed 47 hitters this season with strikeouts. “I just have to find the strike zone and keep my pitch count low,” Rodon said. “We’re just going to take this series game by game and

It’s just good to have some people from home down here.” Pushing each other to do well is certainly not something that is exclusive to their junior days prior to NCSU. All three of Choi’s individual collegiate titles have come in the state of North Carolina, which could bode very well for the team as they begin a stretch of three straight tournaments in its own backyard. “Personally, I feel very comfortable in North Carolina,” Choi said. “I’ve played a lot of golf in the Carolinas, especially in Myrtle Beach and obviously in Raleigh. The next three tour-
June 2012 will mark the 40th anniversary of the Title IX Education Amendment Acts of 1972, where the federal law states, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance,” according to the NCAA. Aside from the classroom, the mandate has famously changed the landscape of collegiate athletics and ensured that women’s sports will have the same resources as the male programs. N.C. State athletics chose to be one of the front-runners in ensuring that this mandate is carried out to its full extent. In 1969, former athletics director Lloyd Foster knew it was going to be implemented and decided that, if everyone is going to be required to fund and support women’s athletics, then State will be at the head of it and exceed its expectations.

both. It’s about a two hour drive from Sutton’s hometown of London, Ontario to Choi’s hometown of Toronto, and no matter what success or struggles the pair go through, the close connection always seems to resonate. “They were kind of a benchmark,” Choi said of Sutton and his other Canadian teammate, Graham Baillargeon. “Mitch was the Canadian Junior Champion and Graham was a Canadian Junior Champion as well. Just seeing them around and playing and seeing the scores they were posting—it was kind of a motivational factor for me to come up and play well.” As much as the two want each other to succeed, there is also a strong desire to beat each other while on their personal drives. “I’ve know Albin since we were 14 years old,” Sutton said. “We played a
