ACC makes additions Jeniece Jamison Senior Staff Writer
The Atlantic Coast Conference officially extended formal invitations to Syracuse University and the University of Pittsburgh to join the conference from the Big East Conference Sunday, bringing the amount of schools in the conference to 14. This is not the first time that the Big East and ACC have had relations in terms of membership. Boston College
and Virginia Tech left the Big East to join the ACC in 2004. The University of Miami joined in 2005. “This was a very difficult decision for both Syracuse and Pittsburgh,” Nancy Kanter, chancellor of Syracuse University, said. “The two schools that have tremendous connections and long history with the Big East. Although our university has conference realignment and some instability in the landscape, we look forward to wonderful stability in the ACC and nurturing that stability.” Friday afternoon, the two schools officially applied for membership to the conference. Syracuse was one of the founding schools of the Big East.
Pittsburgh was added to the conference in 1982. Syracuse will bring 13 total national championships in the school’s team sports. “The Big East has been Pitt’s conference home for nearly 30 years,” Mark Nortinberg, University of Pittsburgh chancellor, said. “It has been a good home that we will leave with many fond memories and many great friendships.” According to ACC Commissioner John Swofford, the move to the ACC is the best long-term solution for maintaining the strength of the conference.

Chancellor Randy Woodson announced the official budget reduction plan for the University to the UNC General Administration amid legislature-mandated budget cuts of 15.1 percent. This funding deficiency equates to difficult changes affecting University students, faculty, and staff. “It’s not an overstatement to say that this is the most difficult budget challenge the state of North Carolina and the University have faced since the Great Depression,” Woodson said in a public message. Despite these major cuts, the University has acted early to minimize the impact of the budget cuts through effective planning. “We are very fortunate to have had such strong leadership at N.C. State. As a result of the chancellor’s planning, the University was able to offset some of the budget reduction by holding back some funds ahead of the actual legislated reduction,” Nate DeGraff, marketing and media relations coordinator for the College of Engineering, said. According to Dr. Johnny Wynne, dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, “of the 16 percent reduction allocated to N.C. State by the Board of Governors, the provost only allocated a seven percent budget cut to the academic budget of the colleges.” The colleges within the University have taken meticulous approaches to

According to Wynne, the CALS face unique challenges. “The budget reductions in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences are more complicated than in most other colleges since there are three appropriated budget lines instead of the normal one,” Wynne said. Woodson acknowledges the university’s cooperation and assistance during this difficult economic situation. “I appreciate the way everyone on campus has embraced the strategic plan, organizational realignment and budget conversations. They have been interactive processes built on the contributions of hundreds of students, faculty and staff who were directly and indirectly involved, ” Woodson said.

Cross Country teams pick up first win thrive

Cozzarelli and Dame finish strong for the Pack. Rebecca Fiorentino Staff Writer
There is one true objective in every sport—to win a championship or at least get as close as possible. The men’s and women’s cross country teams know that in order to get there, they will have to outrun and outwork everyone. Friday’s adidas Cross Country Challenge at the Wake Med Soccer and Cross Country Park proved that the teams have the capability to outrun almost anyone. Eight teams ran in the bizarre 63 degree weather of September sporting tank tops while fans bundled up in sweat shirts and pants. There was a sea of red and white coming across the finish for the men with redshirt senior Greg Dame as the leader. The first 12 runners across the finish line were all from N.C. State and Dame was proud of not only his performance but his teammates as well. “It felt great to win my last, first race in my collegiate career,” Dame said. “Together our goal was to stay together and that’s exactly what we did, we raced hard but it was comfortable.” The first eight runners finished within two seconds of each other while the next finisher other than an N.C. State athlete, was Cory Hampshire at 15:21.4, running unattached. The men’s team is full of upperclassman, leadership and experience and head coach Rollie Geiger is hoping to get the newer guys mixed with john joyner/Technician the older ones because they Freshman Joanna Thompson runs out of the woods during the Adidas Cross Country Challenge returned four of their top five at Wake Med Soccer Park on Sept. 16, 2011.

{Our view}
There’s no need for a forced readership S
The Facts:
Student Government will be voting on a program that will provide students with copies of national and local newspapers all year long. While the pilot program, which lasts four weeks, is free, there will be an annual student fee of $10 for the full program.
Our Opinion:
This program is nothing more than a way for USA Today to increase their revenue, and the interest at N.C. State is simply not high enough to justify such a program that will contribute to higher student fees.
tudent Government will be voting on a bill Wednesday to trial the program at no cost to the students. If the survey from this program is positive, Student Government will go further to impose a $10 student fee for the full program of the distribution of USA Today, along with the News and Observer and another national newspaper. In a time where the appropriation of student fees is critical, a superfluous fee such as this is not needed. USA Today’s polls say only 3-5 percent of college students read a national paper, such as USA Today, and while they are using this as a selling point to promote world news, this percentage does not seem like the appropriate interest for Student Government to enact
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.
such a program. They should be finding ways to cut back our budget, rather than create more expenditures. When interested students have the ability to read The New York Times and USA Today online, it is not necessary to force them to pay for extra copies in print. Organizations such as the University Scholars Program already have free copies of regional and national newspapers to give to students. The interest is just not as high as it should be to enact a program like USA Today’s. USA Today is using this program to increase their readership and generate nearly $330,000 from N.C. State
alone, from student fees. This forced readership is merely a ploy to increase their revenue from print sources. Hopefully, Student Government sees this tactic and proceeds in this endeavor cautiously. There might not be harm in allowing the trial period of distribution, but after the four weeks the program may become permanent at N.C. State, and no one wants that. While the membership through the program would be cheaper than their regular membership, the 3-5 percent interest is just not enough to justify forcing all students to pay for papers they won’t all read. While many student fees
goes towards services at N.C. State, like the gym, is simply not fair to make every student pay for something they won’t even have the opportunity to use. Every student will have to pay for this service; however, it is highly unlikely they will distribute 33,000 copies of USA Today to N.C. State. This means, unlike most student fees, this service will not be available to all students. Since our University is still analyzing the effect of budget cuts, this type of fee is not necessary and money from students’ pockets could be better spent. Student Government, especially the Tuition and Fees committee, should understand this fee will not benefit the majority of students and should not support this program.
The problems with the debate on gay marriage

It seems the only impact this amendment w i l l h ave i s to ingrain our Josh Lucas stereotypical southern Deputy Viewpoint Editor prejudice and ignorance into our constitution.

Arguments for both sides of the issue often contain fallacies and unintended consequences that can harm one’s point. We cannot afford to continue to debate this issue the way we have. I hope that exposing the following hazardous talking points will bring about a better debate. For: “I’m not gay, but..” There is no reason to preface your views on gay marriage with this statement. It’s like prefacing a discussion on tax cuts for the rich with “I’m not rich but…” To qualify your statement is to attempt to shield your own insecurities over defending homosexuals, as if being associated with them is the worst thing in the world. Your insecurity discredits your point. Against: “It’s not natural.” There could not be homosexuality if it was not natural. Is it statistically more rare than heterosexuality? Sure, but rarity does not define what is and isn’t natural. The underlying thought in this argument is that marriage
is meant for the production of children. But this would mean we’d have to revoke the marriage licenses of those couples that decided not to procreate. This is a policy few could get behind. For: “I have a friend who is gay, and...” You do not need a gay friend to have an opinion on gay marriage. These are questions of human rights and while experience may enrich your perspective, it’s not necessary. I have never met anyone from Darfur, but I understand the genocide of the people there is an atrocity. Against: “A gay couple cannot raise children.” The argument that homosexuals are so dehumanized by their defining feature they cannot be trusted with the care of children, while categorically absurd, has no place in the debate on gay marriage. A marriage license is not a requirement for a couple to raise a child. Gay couples can adopt or even birth children without being married. The point made in this argument has no place in the marriage debate. For: “No, the [insert your religion’s document here] says...” Religion is not a tool universally used the same way. There is no standardization in religion. What one person holds true in their religion someone of their same denomination may not. Standards found between religions are even more rare. It is impossible for this debate to take place in a religious framework, for everyone is using different rules to evaluate the same issue. One side cannot find itself a victor over another when there are no rules for engagement.
favorite. The logic of this question is that if we allow for gay marriage, what will we allow next? It assumes a social spiraling and the death of all morality will ensue. Show me another example of when expanding human rights–abolishing slavery or giving women the vote–has ever lead to a decline in morality. For: “Homosexuality is biological.” It doesn’t matter whether someone is gay by choice or by birth. The debate over nature versus nurture implies that to be gay by choice is somehow less acceptable than being gay by birth. That would mean there is something inherently not acceptable about being gay. To make this point is not beneficial to your argument.

Against: “I’m all for gays, but marriage is between a man and a woman.” I must assume that if you bring forth this idea you have never opened a United States History book. We Americans have a storied history of denying minority groups access to institutions. We have used every trick in The Book to suppress people who are different, it turns out we were unequivocally wrong in all cases. Against: “Straight people will do it for tax breaks.” To believe that two straight individuals would marry to save money is ridiculous. To marry, these two would have to subject themselves to the ridicule for being gay. I doubt many straight people are lining up for this. To claim that marriage for monetary gain should banned, one must also be for the abolishment of some heterosexual marriages. Marriages where one party is marrying for money accomplishes the same goal.
Against: “What’s next?” The absurdity of this argument makes it my personal

In response to Josh Lucas’s column, “End the free expression” The recent column in Technician about ending the Free Expression Tunnel was very surprising to me, and not only did the story seem a bit off-kilter, but also nearly baseless. I was intrigued by the author and sought out his other columns on your website. Wow. I’m not sure if he thinks he’s funny, but to begin column by suggesting we lump people in groups is certainly outrageous, as he did in the bros and hipsters column. Based off his work, it appears his primary goal as a columnist for Technician is taking away expression rights and creating stereotypes, which I feel reflects poorly on a paper that I generally enjoy. I feel as if Technician could make wiser decisions about what it publishes, because not only does it reflect poorly on their staff but also on the students and faculty of N.C. State.

“I think that’s pretty cool. I would definitely use that.”
I enjoyed your recent column in Technician. I have found that a good pair of earplugs, without a connecting string, blocks out most noises during sleep and study time. While I will still hear someone in the same room talking, or a loud TV/radio, most distractions can be blocked. Earplugs are especially helpful if I am studying in a common room at the library. For those concerned, don’t worry: you will still hear the fire alarm and your alarm clock, or at least I do. I wish I had thought of earplugs when I lived in the dormitories. Another thought on time management: don’t try to do it all. Let “I can’t tonight/this weekend, I have to work on my homework” be an answer. Your friends are failing their classes, too. Don’t feel like you have to go out, dancing/ dinner/movies. There will be time for that Work your best now, and play when you can. “Play now, work later” is never a formula for success.

Turning shelter dogs into helpers C.A.R.E. NC is an organization that recruites shelter dogs to train and serve the dissabled. Jordan Alsaqa Arts & Entertainment Editor
Every year, the Wake County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) places thousands of animals to new homes. Among those numbers are numerous dogs, most of which are friendly, intelligent, and able to serve those in need before they are adopted. Thanks to Canine Assisted Rehabilitation for the Elderly (C.A.R.E. NC), those amicable canines have the chance to spend their time doing just that as they wait for adoption, and the Pre-Vet Club at N.C. State is among those helping to make that happen. Founded by Dr. Julianne Davis, a veterinarian in Raleigh, C.A.R.E. NC is a program that allows shelter dogs to become therapeutic visitors to se-
niors in the community. This allows the dogs to continue to develop social skills around humans while also providing comfort and care to those in assisted living in the Raleigh area. Dr. Davis said her German shepherd, Chief, was her inspiration for C.A.R.E. NC. “He’s one of the most calm dogs,” Dr. Davis said. “He’s very gregarious and loves people, so I thought he would be perfect as a therapy dog. I wasn’t expecting to get so much out of it. I then thought to use shelter dogs for the same purpose as a means to increase their socialization.” The idea first came to Dr. Davis earlier this year, and she feels that the project is still working to get off the ground. So far, C.A.R.E. NC is working to incorporate five assisted living facilities into the program, which has proven to be a challenge. “Two [of the homes] have patients with Alzheimer’s and dementia,” Dr. Davis said, “so they are really large. There are currently more seniors than
we can take dogs to. We hope that we’ll have enough dogs to take to them all as soon as possible.” In order to prepare more dogs, C.A.R.E. NC requires a constant number of volunteers who can help to work on training the animals. To this end, Dr. Davis got into contact with Danielle Lindquist, a senior in zoology and the president of the Pre-Vet Club. “The problem with this program,” Dr. Davis said, “is that you’re running off of volunteers. In order to make it work, you almost have to have steady stream of people who will volunteer as well. I contacted Danielle to give the opportunity and see if students would be interested in helping out to bolster their resumes.” Lindquist agreed that C.A.R.E. NC provided a great opportunity for students in the club who were interested. “My main goal was to give PreVet members something to do that was animal related,” Lindquist said, “something that would be part of their portfolio.

Fiesta del Pueblo celebrates and educates Annual event unites Hispanic residents and educated public on culture and public services. Mark Herring Features Editor
The Latino population in Raleigh has grown 137 percent in the last decade, according to the 2010 census, bringing a community of enriched culture and Hispanic heritage to the Triangle. The Latino population in Raleigh has grown 137 percent in the last decade, according to the 2010 census, bringing a community of enriched culture and Hispanic heritage to the Triangle. La Fiesta del Pueblo is the flagship event celebrating the Latino culture of Raleigh, and within 18 years, it has developed not just as a cultural exchange, but also a public awareness event regarding health and legal issues that affect the Hispanic community. “We are trying to teach people about different services available as well as celebrate our own culture,” Marisol Casas, event volunteer, said. “That could be from social work to healthcare to finding a lawyer.” The event took place Sunday at Moore Square and included food vendors sharing traditional food such as Mexican tamales, handmade tortillas and distinct Caribbean cuisine from Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. The festival featured live music, dance performances and information booths with representatives from the 18 countries of Latin America—all for cultural outreach. La Fiesta del Pueblo, organized by El Pueblo, a Hispanic non-profit community service organization, included information booths for civic advocacy and health services. UNC-Chapel Hill’s medical school and public health program brought specialists in Hispanic health issues to the fair, and N.C. State Spanish students and professors volunteered translating for health practitioners. Dakota Bentz, a sophomore in biological sciences, translated information about sickle cell anemia, a growing issue for Latinos living in the Caribbean and near the equator. “A lot of people who come here from other countries don’t have the means to get an education and don’t know where to find information about their health,” Bentz said. “I translate and give people information about services at Wake County Health Department. I went out for about an hour handing out pamphlets at the fair.” Natalia Ospina, a junior in psychology, advocated for migrant awareness through the organization Student Action with Farmworkers (SAF). According to Ospina, many migrant workers are un-

aware of their rights and SAF works to provide information and services. “I worked as an intern this summer in rural Virginia, and I went out into the camps and worked with farm workers as well as assisted in some health outreach which was just trying to inform farm workers about their rights and trying to get appointments for them,” Ospina said. “I am Colombian but I did not know much about issues for farm workers until this summer. Even here in NC, there are a lot of farm workers just outside of Raleigh.” As the Latino population grows, the number of potential Hispanic college applicants increases too, according to Joan Huertas, a senior in sociology and intern of the N.C. State admissions office. “We want to tell people about our university and opportunities and tell them about the organizations for Hispanic students,” Huertas said. “We want to communicate to Latino students that they can find their place here.” Fiesta del Pueblo is not the only cultural event to showcase Latino culture. The International Festival of Raleigh will features Hispanic culture on Sept. 30, the final day of Hispanic Heritage Month.

Working together to fight childhood obesity Study teams work on park designs to battle one of the nation’s main health crises. Andrew Branch Senior Staff Writer

tors; the study was part of an ambitious goal by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. “The foundation has made the goal of reversing childhood obesity by 2015,” Johnson said. The study analyzed a variety of factors at 20 Durham parks related to how children use equipment. As researchers expected, children’s activity levels varied on different equipment or facilities depending on age, gender, companions and supervision. Results showed girls were less likely to engage in rigorous activity, and ball courts and formal programs positively affected children’s activity. Researchers also found hovering, overprotective parents a hindrance to the activity of children’s play. “In many situations, in public parks where you’ve got a playground, it’s really not designed to help adults feel comfortable, so the adults tend to stand around feeling kind of bored,” Robin Moore, professor of Landscape Architecture, said.

Wolfpack tames Tigers Women improve to 8-2 on strength of 28 shots Brian Anderson Staff Writer
On Sunday afternoon, the Wolfpack rebounded following a 5-1 loss to rival North Carolina on Friday to defeat the Towson Tigers 3-1. On the season, the Wolfpack improved to 8-2. In their next game, State plays Wake Forest at home at 7 p.m. on Thursday. On Sunday afternoon, the Wolfpack rebounded following a 5-1 loss to rival North Carolina on Friday to defeat the Towson Tigers 3-1. Redshirt senior defender Alex Berger thought it was key for the Wolfpack to get the victory today. “[The victory] was huge,” Berger said. “After a loss, it’s important to come out and have a good showing.” Towson took the early lead off Amanda Novy’s first goal of the season, which rolled past State’s senior goalkeeper, Kim Kern, less than five minutes into the game. State answered with a goal five minutes later when freshman defender Shelli Spamer played a corner kick onto the head of senior forward Kristina Argiroff and allowed her to score her third goal of the season. Berger thought it was important the team scored soon after the Towson goal. “It’s really important whenever you give up a goal. The next five to ten minutes after that, it is crucial to get the equalizer that fast,” Berger said. State pulled ahead after Berger placed a penalty kick from a Towson handball in the box into the top left corner of the
net. The goal was Berger’s fifth of the season. The only thing on Berger’s mind was making the most of the opportunity. “I just wanted to score and keep the momentum going,” Berger said. In the first half of the game, State generated fourteen shots on goal and kept constant pressure on the opposition. State came out and went to a more possession-style attack in the second half while still managing to keep pressure on the Towson defense. The Tigers only had two shots on the Wolfpack goal in the second half. With less than a minute left in the game, freshman forward Stephanie Bronson received an assist from Argiroff and nailed a shot from point blank range into the back of the net, leading to the final score of 3-1. After the game, Coach Steve Springthorpe was pleased with the team’s response to its early deficit. “First of all, we gave up a goal early on and we were able to rebound,” Springthorpe said. “We were able to get back in five minutes later and that’s good. In a game like this, you are playing a team that has just scored; they have the momentum in the game. But we were able to find a way to get a goal back, pressure them, and get some more opportunities. I was happy we rebounded off that early goal and went in a positive direction.” Springthorpe noted he was pleased with the teamwork he saw on the field. “I think as team, we did well, and to generate 28 shots there has to be a lot of players involved,” Springhthorpe said.

“As a team, we have to work together to get these opportunities.” He also noted the strong performance of Bronson and Argiroff in recent games. “If you look at a player like Steph [Bronson], Springthorpe said. “she has done really well. She has scored in the last few games for us-Friday [at North Carolina] and today. She’s getting into a rhythm finding the goal and Kristina [Agiroff] coming off the bench, although she has started the past couple of games has been getting some goals off her head due to her athleticism and size. So these two have played really well for us.” State is heading into the heart of ACC competition season, and Springhthorpe commented on how the team could sustain its success going into conference, especially since the Wolfpack women are off to their best start since 2008. “We are going to have to be better organized defensively, try to limit opportunities and we have got to finish,” Springthorpe responded. “In the ACC games, we aren’t going to get 28 shots. More than likely we are going to get only a handful of opportunities. The games are going to be defensive and tough. We just have to finish better.” The Wolfpack improved their record for this season to 8-2. In their next game, State plays Wake Forest on Thursday at home at 7 p.m.

We hung in tough and made the plays that we needed to make. I don’t think that’s something that the program hasn’t done in the past.”
According to Cyr, the team has built resilience over the course of the non-conference schedule, which will be pivotal to its success in conference play. “I think we’re all excited, it’s been a good preseason for us,” Cyr said. “I think we’re ready to show the ACC what we’ve got.”

“I am excited about it, I am excited for the opportunity to go out there and make the best of it, ” Maddox said. “I am hoping the coaching staff has faith in me and can put me in a situation where I can and help the team win.” N.C.

State takes care of Jaguars
Men’s Soccer falls at No. 1 Maryland
Coming off of disappointing defeat, Pack defeats its second FCS team of the season.
Facing a top ten foe for the third time in four matches, State started ACC play with a 3-1 loss at Maryland on Friday night. The top-ranked Terps ran their record to 7-0 after they broke a scoreless tie with a goal 12 seconds before halftime and never relinquished the lead. In the loss, freshman Monbo Bokar netted his first collegiate goal in the final minute of play after Moritz Steidten found Bokar from the center of the field. Coming off of the loss, State returns to the state of North Carolina until October 18th with home games versus Presbyterian, Clemson, Georgia State, Boston College, Georgia Southern and Virginia Tech in addition to road contests at Campbell and Duke.

On a rainy Saturday night at Carter-Finley Stadium, N.C. State (2-1, 0-1 ACC) handed South Alabama (21) it’s first ever loss in the program’s history to help blur the memories from last week’s loss at Wake Forest. Even the gloomy and unusually cold weather couldn’t stop the Wolfpack faithful as 56,756 fans checked in through the gates. The Pack didn’t disappoint as State looked strong from the first series of the game, which was a change from the sluggish starts in the opening two contests of the season. Mike Glennon put up big numbers and clinched several career highs throughout the evening. The Jaguars, who were facing their first ever FBS opponent, had no answer to his passing as he went 17 for 20 with 274 yards and four touchdown passes. Glennon was quick to praise his fellow teammates for helping him throughout the game, and gave special focus to the partnership he’s slowly developing with T.J. Graham. Glennon said the senior, who had 128 receiving yards including a 67yard touchdown catch to

seal the game, has established himself as a leader on the Wolfpack. “I think T.J. [Graham] has worked really hard this off season,” Glennon said. “This is his last year, this is it. He’s doing a great job catching the ball, and I think everyone knows what he can do with his feet.” Coach Tom O’Brien also had praise for Graham, who incidentally became the first receiver since Jerrico Cotchery in 2003 to post back-to-back 100-yard receiving games.

O’Brien who hasn’t chosen to play Maddox very often in his collegiate career, went on to praise him for his versatility. “Dwayne has a lot of experience,” O’Brien said. “He played a lot as a freshmen and his first and second years, and then maybe he didn’t get as many

I had people on the outside middle and the right side that I could set.” “She played wonderfully,” Bunn said. “She distributed the ball well, she was accurate. She was our team leader, and that’s what we need as our setter.” The Pack defeated Liberty, The Citadel and Towson this weekend, all of which came in straight sets. State hasn’t lost
