GLBT students, administrators plan for action Students act in response to a North Carolina constitutional amendment preventing gay marriage. William Brooks Correspondent

Megan Farrell/Technician

Hundreds of protestors gathered outside of the General Assembly Legislative Building on Halifax Mall on Tuesday, Sept. 13 to participate in an organized rally against North Carolina’s “Anti-LGBT Amendment.” The North Carolina Senate approved Senate Bill 514, 30-16 Tuesday afternoon, putting the proposed amendment into the hands of voters for the May 2012 primary elections.

As a response to the upcoming amendment against gay marriage in North Carolina, the GLBT center is teaming up with several N.C. State and Raleigh organizations. The director of the on campus GLBT Center, Justine Hollingshead, explained that the organization is still in the planning stages of official means to combat the amendment. However, her thoughts gave some insight on the amendment and what the GLBT Center will be doing to commemorate GLBT History Month in October. “We have been in discussions with allies like the Women’s Center, the Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity, Student Government and Union Activities Board,” Hollingshead said. The news is still fairly recent, so Hollingshead did not cite any specific GLBT events planned so far. Hollingshead explained that the GLBT Center plans on spreading the word around campus through student

organizations, focusing on teaching students why the amendment could be potentially harmful. “We know we’re going to have to educate folks on the amendment and what that means, why it’s discriminatory, why we don’t support that,” Hollingshead said. The Republican-led legislature — in both the House and Senate — approved the bill. Aaron Dancy, chairman of N.C. State’s College Republicans, explained that his organization would not be doing anything to support the amendments passage. “I would tell my members at the meeting that [your opinion on the amendment] is up to you,” Dancy said. “We’re leaving it up to the voters to decide.” Neither College Republicans nor the GLBT Center have harsh feelings toward one another. “We’re not about the business of politics,” Hollingshead said, explaining that the GLBT Center wants to make sure not to stray into politics. Dancy explained that although not all members in the College Republicans support the amendment, he

Former chancellor given position despite public disgrace Oblinger takes on new position at University research facility. Sruthi Mohan Correspondent

Former University chief executive James Oblinger was hired as president of the Murdoch research facility on Sept. 13. Chancellor Oblinger resigned from his post at the University two years ago amidst much controversy regarding his hiring of the former first lady Mary Easley. Recently, however, he has been hired as the new president of David H. Murdock Research Institute on the recently organized North Carolina Research campus in Kannapolis, N.C. The facility is part of an interdisciplinary program that hires 100 percent research professors who work in the health and nutrition areas. All the professors bring their staff of graduate students and lab workers and they hope to have more contributions. Rod Gurganus, director of N.C. MarketReady, and one of Oblinger’s co-workers at Plants for Human Health, had only good things to say of his work ethic and personality. “[Oblinger] was a good friend and mentor. Everyone really enjoyed working with him and he had a lot of connections,” Gurganus said. Asked if he believed Oblinger’s past media scrutiny would have any impact on his future career with Murdock after he leaves his position with Plants for Human Health at the end of the month, Gurganus said “I don’t think

The Board of Trustees will have the final say over which recommendations to implement. “You will see an effort to build on the similarities between units to create new opportunities for effectiveness and efficiency; a new approach to creating academic capacity; reductions in bureaucracy; and most of all a renewed dedication to student success,” Woodson said in a public mes-

Andrew Hammond, a junior in history, used to live in Washington D.C., one of the few places in the U.S. where gay marriage is legal. ”[The amendment] is definitely something that I don’t really agree with,” Hammond said.

increasing the severance package for the provost at the time the provost was resigning from his post. In light of all the controversy around the subject, Oblinger resigned from his position as chancellor. Soon afterwards, however, the University terminated Easley’s contract at an unknown expense and Easley was in effect fired from her position. Several other members on the faculty who worked alongside Easley or were somehow involved in their decision to hire her all stayed consistent in their opinion that they truly believed in her caliber and thought her a great asset to the University. Even those who asked the first lady to resign attribute their requests to the situation and the amount of unnecessary, negative attention the University and some of their top-ranked officials were receiving from

According to Hollingshead, the amendment will also take away benefits from same sex couples that are recognized in several cities in North Carolina. Kirsten Thibault, a freshman in biomedical engineering, is also against the amendment’s passage. “I’m definitely for gay marriage; I can’t believe that they are trying to make things more difficult. They already have a law — why do they have to make an amendment?” Kirsten said. All adults can vote for or against the amendment Tuesday, May 8, 2012 when the ballot vote will be held. Along with activism against the amendment, Hollingshead said that the GLBT Center has

Although he stepped down from his office of chancellor, he went back to work in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences as a professor and researcher. More specifically, Oblinger worked in the research professor position with the Plants for Human Health Institute. Steven Leath, UNC general administrative vice president for research, was specifically named as the person that initiated the idea to hire Oblinger. After a five-year downward sloping streak at Murdock on the research campus, Oblinger is expected to bring a lot to the table in terms of fundraising for the institution, according to Leath.

Hollingshead said that the GLBT Center will be making t-shirts, painting the Free Expression Tunnel and bringing in a guest speaker as part of next month’s activities. North Carolina’s 27th annual GLBT festival will be held this Saurday on the campus of Duke University in Durham. Hollingshead said N.C. State’s GLBT Center will definitely have a presence at the festival. Hollingshead explained that much of the action the GLBT Center is taking now is part of an effort to educate students and all North Carolinians about gay rights. “This is really beyond politics. It’s about civil rights and equal rights,” Hollingshead said.

sage. The reorganization and consolidation of positions and responsibilities is aimed to accomplish specific goals. “This [strategic realignment] really has two major objectives. One is to have us aligned so that we can operate more effectively and efficiently as an institution, but also to save some money in the long run as well,” Arden said. The Division of Student Affairs will merge with the Division of Undergraduate Academic Programs into what will be known as the Division of Student Services and Programs (DSSP). The subcategories of both of these divisions will shift from five to four main divisions, which are Health, Wellness, and Student Development; Campus Life; Academic Services and Programs; and Arts

If the SB-514 is passed in May, it will ban any legal relationship recognition for same-sex couples in North Carolina.

NC State. “The primary focus of the new division (DSSP) is to enhance student success across campus. DSSP will facilitate partnerships and increase the synergy among units that focus on student life and those that focus on academic issues. New and improved programs geared to help students succeed will be one outcome of this merger,” José A. Picart, vice provost for academic services and programs, said. While the reorganization will not be fully implemented until July 1, 2012, the offices of the provost and other programs have already taken action. Deans of all colleges will meet over the next few weeks to submit final recommendations to the provost by the end of next month, according to Lisa Zapata, associate vice chancellor for Student Affairs. “While the framework of the new organization has been created, the implementation team is currently in the process of seeking input from faculty, staff

and students across campus on several components of the organization. Final recommendations will be submitted to Provost Warwick Arden by the end of October,” Zapata said. Other changes include the creation of one Office of Research, Innovation and Economic Development, as well as the combination of the offices of Equal Opportunity and Diversity and Inclusion into one Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity. “The office of Extension, Engagement and Economic Development will be abolished when Dr. Jim Zuiches retires at the end of this year. We’ve also combined the office of Diversity and Inclusion with the office of Equal Opportunity into one office,” Arden said. In response to whether these changes will save the university any money, Tim Luckadoo, associate vice chancellor for student affairs, said they will. “There will be some reduction in administration with the merger, so there will be some

cost savings,” Luckadoo said. While these changes will be cost effective, the primary purpose for the reorganization of the office of the provost is to maximize efficiency within the University, according to Arden. “It was really a place where you start having about thirty programs or divisions of the University that responded directly to me, so I really just had to develop increased organizational efficiency,” Provost Arden states. Alex Miller, associate vice chancellor for Students Affairs, acknowledged the positive impact the realignment will have on students. “My faculty and staff feel strongly that the reorganization will benefit N.C. State students and enhance the University’s commitment to student success, and we view that as the principal goal of the realignment,” Miller said.

{Our view}

The Facts:

Shack-A-Thon is an annual event put on by student organizations to raise money for Habitat for Humanity. ShackA-Thon has raised thousands of dollars this week and will be reaching its conclusion today.

Our Opinion:

Poverty levels in the U.S. have exceeded 15 percent of the population, and we are in a position to do something about it. Shack-A-Thon offers the opportunity to fundraise to combat this issue, an opportunity everyone should take.

Donate for a difference

ver the past week you may have walked through the Brickyard and chuckled at those holed up in their shacks during ShackA-Thon; however, what these people and this event stand for is no laughing matter. They are giving up their time, often hours at a time, to help combat poverty. A person who is in poverty is said to possess a less than socially acceptable amount of goods, either monetary or material. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services outlines poverty thresholds according to family size. For a family of four the threshold is $22,350, and for an individual the threshold is $10,890. The estimated annual cost for full-time undergraduate education at N.C. State placed at

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.

$18,427. Our educational expenses alone are almost double the poverty threshold for an individual. Our economic situation makes it hard for us to imagine anyone living off less than $11,000; however, many people do. The United States Census Bureau recently released a report outlining 2010 poverty rates; the report’s findings are hard to stomach. 15.1 percent of Americans live beneath the poverty line; this is the highest portion of the population in 17 years. 20.5 million people live in deep poverty (below half of the poverty line). 16.4 million children were recorded as being under the poverty line in

2010, the highest amount of children beneath the poverty line since 1962 according to the New York Times. There is no need to feel powerless when confronting these statistics, as you can help those in need. In fact, one avenue for assistance is in your very own Brickyard. Shack-A-Thon is a yearly event, comprised of organizations all over campus. Each organization creates a shack and through their shacks they fundraise, yielding thousands of dollars for Habitat for Humanity. Habitat for Humanity is the world leader in providing housing for those in poverty. A house is a new beginning, and

a way to help jumpstart lives. 2008 marked the 300,000th new beginning given by Habitat for Humanity. If the cause of helping those in need is not appealing by itself, Shack-A-Thon offers a lot more for your donation. There is a shack that offers a cruise raffle for your donation. Other shacks offer delicious food. Some shacks give you the chance to pie a person in the face. And some shacks are offering their value in the actual shack — check out the Solar Shack by the College of Design. With today being the last day of Shack-A-Thon, it is your last day to reap all it has to offer. Go, have fun, be entertained, donate, and — most of all — know that your donation is making a serious difference.

Do we really appreciate the Hispanic Culture?

t is that time of year again when we celebrate how Hispanic culture has contributed to our nation, but do we truly understand the impact they have had on our culture? Sept. 15 marked the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month. We set aside these 30 days each year to Nijah appreciate Toshumba how wonderStaff Columnist ful our society is because of the large Hispanic population we have. If we looked at how America has changed ove r t i me , we would be astonished to see how much just one culture has shaped America for t he be t ter. However, for all the Hispanics have brought us, few are aware of their celebration this month. There is a lot of blame for the lack of attention this month that could be spread around. There could be continuous fingers pointing on who is to blame for this lack of recognition, but it would still not fix the problem at hand. This month we are praising the people who have given so much to our American society and have brought to our culture many different and sensational things. However, for all the celebration this month promises, the question arises: How can we expect Americans to celebrate the accomplishments of a group of people they still meet with such disdain? There are numerous reasons why we do not celebrate this month to the full extent we should, but the main one is how much negativity that surrounds Latinos in America. The overall image of your typical Latino is someone who takes “our” jobs and wastes “our” taxpayer money. They cause problems in our community such as robbing and stealing, and they take up space.

The points against Hispanics are obviously far from the truth; however, plenty of people still think this way. Our propagated misconception about Hispanics perpetuates the horrible stigma that Latinos serve no purpose in America and should, therefore, leave the country. I feel the recognition around these 30 days celebrating Hispanic culture in the United States has grown over time, but not enough. I went through 13 years of school and never knew there was a month that recognized Hispanics. I personally want people to realize t he important contributions Latinos have made t hu s f a r and cont i nue to make. My four best friends are all Latinos and, even with this month of recognition, they still feel under appreciated. They feel this month is just a cop out to make America look good in the long run. Despite N.C. State’s large population, not many students come to the University’s Hispanic Culture Month programs and learn something new about Hispanic culture. I have confidence that one of the main reasons for poor attendance is because people do not and will not see the importance of this month. To them it is just another month because they are not educated or taught to respect other cultures besides their own. Although there is not a large Hispanic population on campus, we as a school need to do more to increase our knowledge of Hispanic culture. I encourage you to go out and discover more about Hispanic culture, for America is not America without Latin culture.

What is your favorite Shack at Shack-A-Thon and why? by Tyler Andrews

Teachers not preachers

eligion is a big part of many people’s lives. Irrespective of the faith you follow, chances are you spare a few minutes each day thinking in some way or the other about God and how He inf luences, or does not influence, our lives. It is natura l for m a ny, myShivalik self included, Daga to subconStaff Columnist sciously gasp “Oh God” in both amazement and despair. Remembering Him comes naturally to all of us in our times of sorrow and happiness. But just like every facet of life, worship too has an appropriate time and place, and a University campus is not the appropriate place. I have often been accosted by groups or individuals on campus who will walk up to me to talk about Christ and worship. Being a non-Christian myself, it often amuses, and amazes me, to see people engaging in such activities. While their purpose,to remind people about God might be commendable, their methods are not. Being a Hindu, believing in a multitude of gods is natural for me. The acceptance and tolerance of other faiths, along with a strong belief in one’s own, is one of the basic tenets of Hinduism. I am not uncomfortable talking to preachers and other

religious groups. However, I find it peculiar that some Christians on campus find the need to go and propound their faith to college students. Every time I see a preacher or religious group on campus, I must wonder how people would react if the preacher was not Christian. I wonder how people would react if Islamic clerics or Hindu priests showed up on campus and started accosting students to discuss their religion. Some activities have the potential to bridge gaps between different faiths. A forced interaction with an unknown faith could bring either amazement and interest or simply anger and disgust. The reaction one has is completely their prerogative. Religion can be a soothing inf luence; however, it is still willfully misused across the world to attain political and other motives. For an example, one need not look further than the events of 9/11 in New York. What’s more, on the day of Obama’s speech at N.C. State, there were groups of people standing guard at entries to the Brickyard distributing the New Testament. Even the New York Times mentioned that this distribution was out of place. The potential for religious abuse creates a situation where college campuses should distance themselves from religion. A college campus is first and foremost a place of learning. The presence of a specific

faith’s God-men ultimately works to undermine the population of students who do not belong to that particular faith and only distances them from the overwhelming majority. People come to this University in search of knowledge and contentment, both spiritual and otherwise, but I suspect for more the latter than the former. Even if you consider this as wild ramblings of a nonChristian, I ask the Christians out there: Do you really need a preacher on campus? I’m sure there are churches not far from this campus where one can go for worship. As you would not expect your professor to hold classes in a church, it is rather strange that preachers should come to campus to remind students about God. Even though God seems allpervasive and powerful, the church would be no less appropriate a place to worship. Let us keep our University a place where students of all faiths and cultures feel free in communicating with others without any fear of prejudice on the other side, and a place which allows for free flowing intellectual discourse without needing the “R-word.” S e n d S h i v ali k yo u r thoughts on religion to letters@technicianonline. com.

Hitting the runway Fashion show highlights annual fashion week. Joanne Wu & FrancesEllis Life & Style Editor and Staff Writer

Fashion pulsed on in Raleigh just as New York’s fashion week came to a close. Last Friday ushered in the Triangle Fashion Week that would storm the Raleigh area as the region’s top designers, fashionistas and consumers came together to celebrate the fashion community in the district. Businesses from large department stores to small boutiques and salons collaborated with Blvd.tv, the Triangle’s media advertising company, to promote what would be TFW’s third year. According to Blvd. tv representatives, TFW was created in 2008 to construct an innovative marketing campaign for the Triangle’s fashion community. Over the past week, businesses in areas from North Hills to Glenwood Avenue stayed open later than usual to cater to consumers and fashion enthusiasts, offering discounts and sales that would not be offered during any other occasion. Last night at Triangle Fashion Week held their first Saks Fashion Show, where hair stylists, makeup artists, designers and program coordinators convened for another hectic, yet cohesive event showcasing high fashion. “In our office, people are running around, f lyers for Fashion Week are everywhere,” Jonathan Stevenson, videographer for Blvd.tv, said. “It’s pretty hectic in there.” Nevertheless, a large number of attendees gathered at Triangle Towne Center’s Saks Fifth Avenue to see an abundance of designer wear. Brand names including Diane von Furstenberg, Alice + Olivia, Vince, Theory, Jimmy Choo and Tory Burch all made appearances on the models as attendees caught a sneak-peak at the latest Fall season trends on the runway. Alison Brown, an N.C. State alumna with a degree in business, was not only an attendee of the fashion show, but was also one of the hair stylists. “It’s a lot of fun,” Brown said. “We did some hair for FashionSpark last week also and it’s really cool that Triangle Fashion Week is bringing fashion to Raleigh. The city is a metropolitan area and I love that the fashion scene is really starting to gain attention. I especially loved all the fur, prints, and shoes that were in the fashion show. I was drooling over the fur vests and heels.” The fashion show was full of flowing, short dresses and fur vests for women, and classic and contemporary clothing

Chain brings quick burritos to Hillsborough Street Students used to go out of their way to Chipotle, but now the chain is coming to the students. Allison Eason Staff Writer

Many college students went out of their way to grab a burrito from Chipotle Mexican Grill in the past, according to the restaurant’s marketing consultant Candace Doby. But Sept. 20, the restaurant held its grand opening, featuring a variety of burritos, tacos and salads. The restaurant stayed busy for most of the day, seeing its peak traffic at noon, when students were out of class. Trinh Ngo, a sophomore in international studies, waited in line to try the steak tacos. “We didn’t have to wait too long because they were really fast workers,” Ngo said, “it was worth it.” There had been several requests from University students and Raleigh locals for a Chipotle restaurant closer to N.C. State’s campus. “For several years now, many students were going to our other Raleigh locations,” Doby said. “When the space became available on Hillsborough we made the decision.” Steve Ells founded Chipotle in 1993, with an inspiration stemming from aleX sanchez/Technician the little taquerias he would eat at in Chipotle Employees Julian Simpson, Tiffany Beasley and Natasha Ringenburg prepare food for chemical engineering senior Cedric Harville Thursday.

“It’s easier to produce growth in some populations than others.”

Some of the best-qualified math and science teachers do not apply to work for the lowincome schools that could benefit most from their instruction, Schulte said. “Holding teachers in schools accountable for children’s tests results is controversial. Teachers will feel they are being judged on things that they cannot control,” Schulte said. The job of a teacher is to provide the tools necessary for their classroom to learn. There are circumstances that may challenge their goals that include school budgets, disruptive students or large classroom sizes. Many teachers say standardized test scores do not give an accurate representation of how the kids or teachers are performing. It is possible that teachers may lose their jobs if their students are not complying with the state’s benchmark for growth, also known as Adequate Yearly Progress. “We want to have a system that rewards schools for the work that they do,” Schulte said. “It’s easier to produce growth in some populations than others.” Schulte and her team of researchers know there are examples where comparing test results from one cohort with the results from a previous cohort will provide an accurate picture of a school’s improvement. But the fact remains that there are many situations where it does not—specifically in cases that involve students with developmental disabilities, according to Schulte.

He just hopes that Tucker Hall will put up a good fight this year. “Last year, what was funny was that Tucker painted up last year, they were all green and they had t-shirts and everything.

Friday MEN’S SOCCER VS. CLEMSON Raleigh, 7 p.m.

Staff Report Between -26 rushing yards, three untimely turnovers, and over 500 yards of total offense allowed by the Wolfpack’s defense, N.C. State (2-2, 0-1 ACC) was routed by Cincinnati (31, 0-0 Big East), 44-14, on Thursday night. The lopsided affair was the worst loss State has suffered since a 52-20 drubbing at Boston College in October of 2009. Cincinnati quarterback Zach Collaros accounted for two of the first three touchdowns on the night, including 10- and 13-yard scampers into the end zone. Collaros finished with 263 yards passing in front of the sell out crowd at Nippert Stadium. The game started with State advancing into Bearcat territory, but redshirt junior Mike Glennon and the offense sputtered at the opposition’s 41. The trend would become a common theme, as the Wolfpack’s rushing game often went backwards throughout the night by accumulating negative yardage. Bearcat running back

Sophomore cornerback David Amerson clutches the ball after being tackled at Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio on Thursday, Sept. 22. The Wolfpack lost the competition 44-14.

Isaiah Pead started the scoring with a two-yard rush to cap off a short touchdown drive. Glennon was intercepted by defensive back Drew Frey on the Pack’s second possession, which set up Cincinnati on the Wolfpack 35-yard line.

what would have been a fourth down situation, kept momentum in the home team’s favor. Collaros would take advantage of Pack miscues to tack on two touchdowns, making the score 21-0, before State put any points on the board. NCSU’s offense appeared to have life when Glennon hooked up with T.J. Graham for an 87yard touchdown pass play, but Cincinnati held off any charge.

Graham had 176 receiving yards and both of State’s touchdowns on the night. N.C. State’s next game will be at home on October 1 against Georgia Tech. Start time is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. from Carter-Finley Stadium.

Wolfpack looks to tame Tigers in ACC match ACC play opens at home for the Wolfpack against Clemson. Rishav Dey Staff Writer

Dail Stadium will host its first ACC game of the season as N.C. State (3-2-2, 0-1 in ACC) takes on Clemson (1-4,0-1 in ACC) Friday at 7 p.m. The Pack will hope to capitalize on their runaway victory against Presbyterian Tuesday to take their first win in ACC play against the Tigers, who are currently on a three-game losing streak. Junior defender Moritz Steidten, German native and second in points scored for the Pack, said he was

Football unites the university rowing up, I spent a lot of time playing and watching sports. It didn’t hurt that my father was a state champion wrestler and coached several sports, including football, baseball, and wrestling (and my junior high team). I spent my summers i n O re gon playing Little Scott Fitzpatrick League and, du r i ng t he Guest Columnist fall, I would sit up in the booth with my dad and all the other local high school football team coaches, who were drawing up plays. Although I never played football, of all the sports it was by far the most exciting to watch. Having spent my formative years in and around Eugene, OR, my dad would often take me to football games at the University of Oregon. One of my earliest memories was at age seven, walking hand in hand with my dad across the UO campus to Autzen Stadium, winding our way through beautiful Alton Baker park along the Willamette River where Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight, the co-founders of Nike, used to coach and run track for UO in the late 1950s (and later, Steve “Pre” Prefontaine who, in the early 1970s before his untimely death, held numerous American track records) to watch Air Force play UO. This was my first college football game and I was mesmerized by the thousands of people who were there, the marching band playing the school fight song, and the Air Force’s falcon mascot flying right by us in the stands during the halftime show. I loved every minute of it and was hooked for life. I’ve been a college football fan ever since. While I will occasionally watch an NFL game on Sunday, it’s too refined for me; too polished. Nothing matches the intensity of the college game. You just can’t compete with the effort fans put into tailgating, the chanting of the team cheer by students, alumni, and other supporters (if you’ve ever been to Tennessee’s Neyland Stadium and heard “Rocky Top”, you know what I’m talking about) in a game replete with the brashness and mistakes of young athletes, the improbable comebacks, and the sound — the deafening sound of tens of thousands of people screaming for their team to score or defend the red zone. To me, there’s simply nothing like it. I think that’s one of the reasons I stayed in college for as long as I did (a total of 13 years – geesh!). I love the university atmosphere, and part of that feeling for me is directly related to college football. As a professor here at N.C. State for almost nine years now, I still am an avid football fan and wait with eager anticipation for fall to begin. I don’t go to as many Wolfpack games as I’d like to, but I’m still supporting our team whether I’m there or watching it on TV. While the ACC is better known for its strong basketball tradition (I’m a season ticket holder), to me, football is the one universal tradition in college sports that can bring together the university community better than anything else. While college football has seen its fair share of scandals over the years, and though

happy with the way the team was playing. Despite the setback against No. 1 Maryland, he said the team was really shaping up well. “I think the game against Maryland was not so bad. We lost, sure, but we played a good game against the No.1 team in the country,” Steidten said. “We played a good game against Presbyterian and now we are looking forward to Clemson.” Steidten was quick to acknowledge Clemson but was confident the Pack will do well against them. “I think Clemson is a good team,” Steidten said. “Every team in the ACC is a good team, so we will prepare well and give our best and hopefully we’ll beat Clemson.” Freshman midfielder Ollie

Kelly, England native and leader in goals and points scored, spoke about the cohesion developing in the team. He said it has led to a better performance in all the games, like the one against Presbyterian when the team triumphed 4-0. “We are all a new group of players and it’s taking a while for us to gel,” Kelly said. “You can see in training, everyone is trying to gel now and the ball has started to move quicker and people have started to score more goals.” Kelly also said the Tigers’ three-game losing run didn’t matter, as every game was the same for them. “We just treat every game like each other,” Kelly said. “We’ve just got to give our 110 percent and see what happens.” Coach Kelly Findley, who’s in
