Suicide victims honored Candlelight service held in the Brickyard brings attention to suicide prevention. Elise Heglar Deputy News Editor

On Wednesday night, the National Alliance on Mental Illness at N.C. State held a candlelight service to honor those who have been lost to suicide in the United States. The service began with a speech given by Deidre Hughey, a motivational speaker. Hughey spoke about her personal experience with suicide and how the help of others helped her decide not to end her life. “I didn’t feel like there would ever be any hope for me,” Hughey said. Hughey spoke about the signs she exhibited while she was slipping into a deep depression. Neither her friends or family noticed them. “When I came up with the perfect solution [to end my life], I started writing poems. I was entering them in contests, these very dark poems, and nobody said anything,” Hughey said. Looking for signs in friends and family was extensively discussed at the event. Some of the warning signs to look for, according to Angel Johnson, a counselor at the University counsel-

ing center, are mood, behavior, inter- minutes. Those are huge numbers and a lot of lives have been lost,” personal and physical changes. “A lot of students come to us and Riggins said.

On Thursday, Innovation Café on Centennial Campus will have a very important visitor – Chancellor Randy Woodson. Chancellor Woodson is starting a new program, called ‘Chat with the Chancellor,’ that he hopes will better connect him to the student body. “The Chat with the Chancellor is based on the idea of having an informal conversation with students,” Woodson said. Connecting with students is one of the most important duties of a university chancellor, according to Woodson. “I’m essentially the CEO of a large corporation, so I have responsibility for everything here,” Woodson said. “Students, from a corporation standpoint, are our

Performances highlight banned books Banned book performances seek to shine light on First Amendment rights. Joshua Chappell Senior Staff Writer

On Wednesday at Thompson Hall, students had the opportunity to listen to scenes from a collection of banned books as part of the NCSU Libraries celebration of Banned Books Week. During “Red, White, and Banned,” a number of students from the Alpha Psi Omega National Theatre Honor Society performed scenes from several books that are considered banned, including The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Harry Potter, The Outsiders, and more. According to Leanna Hall, a sophomore in microbiology, a banned book is a book “deemed unfit for a reading community for reasons that can be anything from sexual content to witchcraft or offensive language.” Marian Fragola, director of program planning and outreach for NCSU Libraries, said the goal of this event is to empower the student body with knowledge. “Words and books are powerful, and because of that power, people throughout history have tried to stop other people

There is always room for improvement,” Thompson said. “I’m still trying to convince [Dr. Woodson] that a Twitter account is a good idea.” The main thing he wants students to know about these events, Woodson said, is that they are intended to be informal and informational. “I have plenty of opportunities for formal presentations,” Woodson said. “I want this to be more relaxed, and I want the students to feel empowered to come and share their thoughts about the University.” Woodson said he hopes to hear both positive and negative things from students. “I want to hear what students are happy with, what they love, and things that they feel could be made better,” Woodson said. Thompson said she is hopeful that students will gain a lot from the events. “I hope that opportunities like these will help students understand that their voice does matter,” Thompson said.

{Our view}

Make a difference, serve your community T

The Facts:

CARE, a student service organization, has been recruiting students to join in their service opportunities.

Our Opinion:

These opportunities are everywhere, and students should take advantage of them, not only for themselves, but to make a difference.

hink back to high school, for some of us it was only a year ago, to others it’s a little longer. Remember when teachers and counselors constantly encouraged volunteer work. For many of us, it was a duty performed begrudgingly. While there’s no one who says doing community service in college is a must, the benefits of serving others and your community are well worth the effort that goes into it. The Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere (CARE) has been recruiting students to join their organizations and help to make a difference in both the Triangle and the world. While CARE provides opportunities for students to give back to the community, there are many orga-

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.

These events and activities allow students to go out into the community and serve those in need. The way to get involved is easy. There are numerous worthy causes offering opportunities for students. For instance, CARE is devoted to issues such as AIDS, hunger and general poverty. If you have an interest, there’s a place for service. However, you must act on it. N.C. State makes it so easy; the Center for Student Leadership, Ethics and Public Service provides a countless number of organizations devoted to service around N.C. State, and even more opportunities for one-timers. With such opportunities, you don’t need to

nizations on campus whose sole purpose is to create service opportunities for students. They’re out there, and as students, we have to take advantage of them. The common misconception about volunteers is that they are simply problem-solvers in the community, fixing homelessness, hunger or health issues. However, they should be viewed as people serving those who are experiencing these issues. Volunteers are not there to help someone lower than themselves, but rather serve someone on the same level as themselves. This type of service is best demonstrated by events like Service N.C. State.

have a long-term commitment to service; you can merely go once. Regardless, you will still be helping. When such service was required in high school, many students found those activities as useless, or not worth their time, but the reality is this time is well spent. It not only has the potential to make a difference to a community or even a single person, but the feeling you have after performing an act of kindness truly benefits you. Those same high school service clubs have extensions to the collegiate level, and the great thing is, it’s never too late to make a difference, If you’re a freshman, or even a graduate student, there are opportunities out there for you. You just have to take the first step.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it

n my memory, 1997 was a pretty fantastic year. Scientists in Scotland had successfully managed to clone a full-grown sheep. Bill Clinton had been inaugurated into his second term. IBM’s‚ predecessor to Watson, Deep Blue , m a naged to beat Jon Lewis t he g reatest Staff Columnist chess player of all time, Gary Kasparov, at his own game. As we all know, this was the event that humbled the Russians enough to sign a peace treaty with the Chechens the same year. But these aren’t the things I remember from 1997. I was seven years old and couldn’t care less about any of those things. I was too busy playing video games, hanging out with the neighborhood kids or watching television. What makes 1997 such a great year in my memory is it was the first year I was introduced to the greatest sci-f i epic of all time, George Luc a s’s St ar Wa r s : A New Hope. I n c ele bration of the 20th anniversary and as a way to garner more attention for the soon-to-come prequel trilogy, LucasArts re-released the original Star Wars trilogy in theaters across the nation. This event was no doubt a big deal to die-hard fans from the beginning of the series, and to my generation that missed out on it the first time around. As it turns out, these re-releases were the first of George Lucas’s special editions of the films. Many fans were unhappy that Lucas took such liberties as to replace the original puppets of most of the aliens including Jaba the Hutt, the Sarlacc, the Banthas and the Rancor with CGI. Lucas also changed many of the scene wipes, dialogue and sounds. He even altered the famous scene between Han and Greedo, making it clear that Han shot first.

Later with the 2004 DVD release, more drastic alterations were made like replacing Sebastian Shaw with Hayden Christenson as Anakin Skywalker. As a child watching the movies I didn’t notice any of this. But after watching the originals and the re-mastered versions, I think of the films as works of art and agree the alterations should not have been made. Lucas claims he made these alterations because he wanted it to be this way originally, but was limited by the technology of the era. However, it is what he managed to do with the limited technology that made the films true works of art. The special effects demonstrated in the original Star Wars far outshone any of its contemporaries. Potatoes and tennis shoes were brilliantly disguised as asteroids and spaceships, cars were made to look like they were hovering, and space battles of epic proportions with lasers and explosions came to life in a way that wouldn’t be matched until years later. However, Luc a s w a s not h appy with the realities of these effects. The tennis shoes were still tennis shoes, the hovering cars had a discoloration underneath them, and the space ships had a gray box around them as they flew through space. But there is no need to fix these things. Let them stand as monuments of success of doing great things within your limitations. The original movies in their unaltered forms are fantastic works of art by means of their own merit. When a better type of paint was discovered, DaVinci didn’t go back and repaint his masterpieces—he left them alone because he knew they were already as perfect as they needed to be. Lucas needs to remember what made these films great instead of finding new ways to screw with art. George, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

What kind of volunteer opportunities do you think give back to the N.C. State community the most? by Sandra Edwards

“The ones that have to do with things on campus, because it also helps give back to the community.”

Exercise your right, to work-out

ork ing out is believed to be benef icia l for the body and the mind, as well as for the soul. How much do we really care to and work Niveditha go out, though? Sunderraj Carmichael Staff Columnist Gy m, w it h its excellent facilities and numerous exercise options, is truly phenomenal. We should definitely take advantage of it All undergraduate students must take two physical education courses while studying for their degrees. This is a great rule, as it helps students to lead a healthy and active lifestyle. Since many of us can’t be easily motivated to go and work out, such classes provide a good opportunity to learn a new sport or art form while having fun. N.C. State also encourages students with the “Take 8 at State” program, in which students take eight gym classes over their four years. This is a great way to keep in shape and guard against the freshman 15 and sophomore 20. Working out is not just about losing weight. It’s also about keeping fit and staying healthy. To accomplish this you must change your

unhealthy lifestyle, and exercise is the ideal way to help you do so. Carmichael Gym has something to offer for everyone. So if you’re giving excuses like, “I don’t play sports,” then you don’t have to play sports. There’s always something else for you to do. Playing a sport is definitely a great way to burn the calories. But if you really like dancing or working out in a group, there are a lot of ways to do that as well. For e x a mple, take the aerobics and dance classes provided by t he Fit ness Center. If you are the outdoorsy type, they have fun activities for you as well. You can learn how to scuba dive, rock climb, or participate in other activities provided by Campus Recreation. Don’t really fancy a formal workout class? The gym has a great running track and easy-to-use cardio and weight equipment where you can just exercise at your own pace without taking a class. Complaining you have way too much coursework to actually go and take a gym class is simply not an option. Exer-

cising is a great way to destress yourself during your busy day. It will definitely help you calm down and relax. The employees at Carmichael claim, “Research suggests regular exercise can decrease stress, improve self-concept, provide an outlet for socializing and decrease symptoms of depression. More recently, exercise has been shown to not only lead to six-pack abs, but to help you improve your grades.” That’s right, regular exercise can also improve brain function. The importance of exercise cannot be stressed enough. It helps keep away a lot of diseases and other unwanted problems. If you’ve only been planning to start your workout up till now, then there’s no better time to start than today. It might just help you relax from the burden of your course load, or merely help you stay in shape.

Fall beers go past pumpkin spice

Local breweries embrace the season of Oktoberfest and darker malts as opposed to pumpkin flavor. Mark Herring Features Editor

Raleigh microbreweries are crafting their seasonal beers for the upcoming fall, but unlike popular national trends, they are not focusing on pumpkin. Rather, they find inspiration in darker beers and the most regarded holiday of every brewer—Oktoberfest. Mark Doble of Aviator Brewing Company in Fuquay-Varina now sells his interpretation of the quintessential German Oktoberfest beer style, Märzen. However, instead of using the lager yeast traditionally used by German breweries, Doble said he uses ale yeast, a different strand of the fungi that requires a different technique for fermenting. “I consider the Oktoberfest at Aviator to be more in the style of a German Altbier, or old beer,” Doble said. “Despite the technicalities, it’s got a nice copper color to it and a really nice taste. We really wanted to bring in something to showcase the malt without going overboard.” Oktoberfest, a two-week long festival from the southern German state of Bavaria, has brought Märzen to international attention. This beer—historically brewed in March, hence the name—is now available in many local breweries, including Aviator, Carolina Brewing Company and LoneRider Brewing Company. According Kevin Boyette, cellar master and production manager from LoneRider Brewing Company, their spin on Oktoberfest goes German 100 percent. “All the ingredients—the malt, the yeast, the hops—are German,” Boyette said. The LoneRider Oktoberfest pays close attention to the fine details. In order to achieve a similar flavor to German breweries, brewers at LoneRider make sure their water pH is the same as that of German water, according to Boyette. “We use a German lager yeast, which makes this beer, like other lagers and pilsners, more crisp,” Boyette said. “We get that because lager yeast ferment the beer at a lower temperature.” Typical malts that many breweries will use include Munich, Vienna and According to the German Purity Law of 1516, beer can only consist of four things: malt, hops, water and yeast. The law, which still exists today, does not allow brewers to deviate and experi-

ment with adjunts. However, brewers in North Carolina are taking full advantage to the opportunities to blend, infuse and create new flavors. Roth Brewing Company, a Raleigh brewery started by alumni brothers Ryan and Eric Roth, embraces the advent of fall with bold and heavy flavors. James Weber, the brewer, said fall is his favorite season for beer. “It’s just right. The flavors and feeling of fall beers are a nice refreshment from all the summer beers that are not as bold in f lavor,” Weber said. Rot h ’s fa l l beer is the Forgotten Hallow, a porter with cinnamon. “We added cinnamon to the boil when brewing, just so it would release all its oil and flavor in the beer,” Weber said. “You definitely can tell the taste is there, but the aroma is present too, and you can get a great sense of it when you smell the head of the beer.” The Forgotten Hallow is the beer the Roth brothers and brewing friends first made, and for Weber, it’s stuck around for a reason. “It’s funny—we started to brew in the middle of a hurricane years ago,” Weber said. “We were all outside standing around a big kettle, hoping it would turn out well. We’ve refined the recipe ever since.” As Märzens close off summer, darker malts start becoming more popular, according to William Winslow, fermentation specialist at American Brewmaster homebrew store. “People tend to think dark beer is for cold weather,” Winslow said. “I drink dark beer all the time, throughout the year, but the flavors and the dark malts are popular this time of year.”

Although pumpkin is a popular choice for fall beer enthusiasts, Weber said its popularity has made him run away from trying it out. “We decided to go a different way,” Weber said. “Everyone is doing pumpkin, so we thought we would pioneer a different flavor.” Pumpkin is popular, with Anheuser-Busch, Blue Moon, and Sam Adams taking the style to the national level. However, Raleigh microbrewers look at fall with a different perspective. “Although pumpkin is fun, there are a lot of other flavors and combinations to work with,” Weber said. “But instead of flooding the market with the same stuff, we decided to establish our own niche.”

Free Expression tunnel fosters student hip-hop culture Students promote hip-hop through a gathering every Monday night to freestyle rap and share rhymes. Frances Ellis Staff Writer

Late on a Monday night, a circle of students can be found near the Free Expression Tunnel. The small crowd, intrigued by the rapping coming from within the circle, is not a random campus gathering as most passersby might assume. Instead, the regular Monday night event and crowd is a “cy-

pher” – the hip-hop term for a circle of rappers that come together to “spit rhymes.” The idea was conceived by Raleigh native Mike Green. Also known as “Live,” Green is a crew member of the group, God Cypher Divine. “We had an album that hadn’t [been released] yet and we wanted to take photos and create essentially a promo video for the album,” Green said. “We thought it would be [a good idea to meet] near the Free Expression Tunnel with all these people we have done shows with and rhyme in front of it. Graffiti is a part of hip-

hop culture and that’s what initially drew us to the tunnel.” The unofficial name of the Monday night cypher at the Free Expression tunnel is “Monday Night Raw,” which has been up and running since February 2010. The cypher typically starts around 11 p.m. and can last until the early hours of Tuesday morning. Green described the event as an epitome of the underground Raleigh hip-hop scene. Freddy Staton, a junior in anthropology, is known as “Freddy Skywalker” at the cypher. He attended the very first cypher and has been coming

ever since. “Someone walked up to me and said that a cypher was going on outside, so I went to check it out,” Staton said. “There were only a few people out there at that point, but we spread the word and eventually [reached] over 100 people just chilling out here in the middle of the night.” Farouk “SaySo” Bseiso, a senior in communications, was another familiar face at the Monday night cyphers. “I heard about this from a girl in the coffee shop,” Bseiso said. “She noticed I was writing rhymes and told me there was a

rap cypher by the Free Expression Tunnel on Monday nights. One night, I decided to show up and go in. I’ve been rapping since middle school, and I had a lot of material that I wanted to share. I started coming every week because I enjoyed it.” Owing to the cypher, the Free Expression Tunnel has been a bonding agent for students and individuals from different walks of life. Bseiso happened to be one of them when he first visited the cypher in the fall of 2010. “You meet a lot of different people here, and they all have something unique to rap

about. It’s interesting to come out here and see the different kind of flows and wordplays. Some people are freestyling while others have planned their rhymes ahead of time. I’m a huge fan of hip-hop and it’s a nice ambiance. I’ve always loved rap, but it was a hidden talent of mine for a long time. I’m happy that I found a place where I can showcase what I’ve loved to do for so long,” Bseiso said. For Bseiso, rap is also a form of empowerment. “I have a stutter, but when

Busted: popular studying myths and common misconceptions Professor Petrovich on busting popularly accepted, but false studying beliefs. Nishanth Coontoor Staff Writer

With midterms fast approaching, students on campus are readying to face those dreaded subjects that never made sense during class. The hours spent cramming in the library are only going up, and students are putting in more hours than they have up till now. However, such study habits may not necessarily spell success. There is a large gap between the right way to study, and what one may think is the right way. Lori Marie Petrovich, senior lecturer in chemistry and coordinator of the general chemistry laboratories at NCSU, advises students on studying, and busts some myths in the process. Myth 1: The class notes will be available to study later, so paying attention in class means listening intently to the teacher. Reality: It’s advised to take notes in class. Merely listening in class is not as effective as writing down keywords and points during the lecture. You are more likely to remember them during review. Use different colored pens: blue for in class points, black for notes from lecture slides and teacher’s notes and red for additional information from reference books. Myth 2: If you don’t understand a concept, leave it. Go ahead with the next topic. Reality: Studying a bit each day and fully understanding all

homework questions is important. If you don’t follow a concept, pursue it. Material tends to pile up at a later stage, and you may not be able to recall what that one piece was that you did not follow up with. Ideas are often interconnected in the course. Myth 3: Group study is the quickest way to learn. Reality: Group study is a very efficient way to gather information as long as you can generate the same independently. While studying in a group, you may think you understood a derivation, or a problem technique. But, during a test, you find yourself unable to arrive at the solution. This is the reason why some students get a 90 on their homework and yet get low marks on the test. Myth 4: If there are four textbooks listed for a course, read them all. Reality: We live in an information age, and there is an overwhelming amount of material available. Students should use their instructors and their notes as a guide. The class syllabus will help keep you within the framework of what you are expected to know. Textbooks must strictly be a supplement to these notes. You can go ahead and explore more detailed information in these, but the moment you enter an unfamiliar territory, you should know to stop. Today, students participate in many extra-curricular activities. Some even have part-time jobs. They look for efficiency. Studying all hours, and being a bookworm does not help. Study smarter, not more. Myth 5: Pick a subject and pursue it until you are done

studying. Then, move on to the next subject and repeat the process. Reality: One must always rotate subjects while studying. Study a subject for 45 minutes while paying full attention and within your cone of silence. Then take a 15 minute break to refresh before resuming your studies. If you are taking both science and humanities, switch between the two so that you don’t get bored. Study chapters in small parts. Myth 6: If you haven’t performed well on the first test, it means you need to slog. Work hard, and study all the topics. Reality: Everyone takes up the first test blindfolded. It’s what you do after this that decides your success on the next. After the first test, sit down and dissect the question paper. Try to analyze where the questions are coming from. They may be coming from the lecture notes, footnotes in the text, or exercise questions after a chapter. When you gain this predictive power, you can target your study for the next test. Myth 7: You learn better if you study late into the night, and whenever you study, stick to your study table. Reality: Students have to identify the kind of study environment that works for them. A study environment is the time of the day and the place that suits them. Some students study best during the day and some into the night, while others learn better early in the morning. Identify what works for you. Also, change your study environment if you tend to get bored of a particular place.

Head over heels for fall fashion As autumn begins to settle in, so will the latest fashion trends as they take over campus. Ashley Simons Staff Writer

As the fall weather sets in, it’s time to transition closets to warmer apparel and accessories. The fashion world is full of fun and chic trends for the current season. Any outfit can be made fashionable for fall with the proper key pieces. “Trench coats are definitely in,” said Tomi Oyelowo, a senior in accounting. “White Vneck tees and boyfriend style shirts are also a must in every closet.” Oyelowo recommended pairing jeans with these pieces for a great look. Although the trends in cities like London and Paris are usually ahead of trends in the United States, one student fashionista is already prepared for this fall. Elizabeth Weinstein, a senior in French and communications, said, “While studying abroad in France last year, I bought some lace-up booties with stacked heels, and sure enough, the trend has made its way to the States for this fall.” While the fall weather will usher in chic outfits, keeping warm is an essential factor to keep in mind before leaving the house. According to Weinstein, dressing warmly without sacri-

ficing style is possible. “Ponchos and capes are definitely a trend for outerwear,” Weinstein said. Weinstein claimed anything with fringe – bags, jackets and moccasins – would add a stylish touch to an ensemble. Morgan Howell, a senior in psychology, predicted that leather skinny pants will be an “it” piece for fall. Howell said leather skinny pants, paired with a chiffon blouse and a blazer, create the perfect edgy but chic outfit. However, fall fashion is not fall fashion without sweaters. Sweater weather this year will be a little less conventional, as sweaters are predicted to be ushered in with new designs. “I’m looking forward to seeing cropped sweaters,” Howell said, “They’re retro and fun.” Cropped sweaters can be worn with a maxi skirt or flare jeans for a vintage 70’s style. According to Roxanne Chappell, a senior in communications, f loral prints, neutral tones and stripes will be a hit this fall. Chappell claimed sheer, f lowing blouses and off-the-shoulder tops would be flattering in the aforementioned colors and patterns. Bold pants are also a fall trend Chappell was looking forward to. “This fall, pants are going to be wild in both patterns and material,” Chappell said. “I will definitely be adding a pair of sequin pants

to my collection.” With so many different trends to pick and choose from,

It’s an escape to regular speech.” The setting is informal; everyone is welcome to watch and to partake in the rapping. “There’s poetry, freestyle, rhymes - any thing goes,” Staton said. “It’s a free, nonjudgmental environment. As an artist, it means a lot to me

that we can all just come out here and show our talent and everyone is going to respect it, no matter what your style is or what you rhyme. This is not only a way for me to get my music out and grow as an artist, but to experience other artist’s talents as well.” Bseiso agreed with Staton about the cypher’s atmosphere.

“It’s a very easy environment. Anyone can come in and rap. Everyone will respect you for having the courage to come into the cypher and show your stuff. I’ve met a lot of guys and we’ve become friends.” Rustin McWhorter, a freshman in nuclear engineering, happened to be walking back from the library to his dorm

last Monday night and came across the cypher. He and his friends heard them rapping and decided to stop and listen. “When I first dropped by, I was a little confused at what was going on, but I liked rhyming and they sounded really good,” McWhorter said. “It’s interesting to watch and you get to hear fresh rhymes.

Metallics Metal-inspired shoes, jewelry, tops and even pants are in this season. To ensure a gaudyfree outfit, avoid bright silvers and golds for darker hues like bronze and midnight blue instead. Velvet Velvet can be overwhelming so it’s best to keep it in small doses through velvet booties. Small accessories like velvet footwear can ease the transition from fall to winter.

Studies show better breakfasts effect classroom performance positively Having a good breakfast a great way to start a day of learning. Eric Rizzo Staff Writer

OPENING AUGUST 2012

WALK TO CLASS NEW STUDENT HOUSING INDVIDUAL LEASING VALENTINECOMMONS.COM

Everyone seems to know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, yet most people don’t know the reason why. According to Suzie Goodell, a registered dietician on campus and an assistant professor in food, bioprocessing and nutrition sciences, your body still uses fuel while you sleep, so you need to replenish that fuel when you wake up to “kick-start” your brain. With college being a stressful time, students don’t always think about what they eat for breakfast, if they eat it at all. However, some students have the right idea. Jacquelyn Watson, a freshman in nutrition science, said, “I value a good breakfast because it gets the metabolism going, so you can focus in class.” Yet the question of what is considered a “good breakfast” remains. “I wouldn’t say there is a perfect breakfast,” Goodell said. “But you certainly want more than one food group.” Goodell recommended a “breakfast trio.” By having three different food groups, according to Goodell, you can have an excellent breakfast. However, she stressed that individuals should just eat something for breakfast. Some things may be healthier than others, according to Goodell, but step one is eating something – whatever it may be. Health is something that concerns everyone, especially when it comes to breakfast. “I eat eggs, yogurt with granola, or a bowl of cereal every day,” Tyler Allen, a sophomore in biological sciences, said. Some people may think that eating eggs everyday is a terrible idea, due to their effect on cholesterol; however, according to Goodell, unless someone has

Next Game: at East Carolina (10/1, 8 p.m.) Virginia (2-2, 0-1 ACC): “A Shot in the Arm” – Wilco No one in the conference needs a jolt quite like the Cavs do – a loss at home to an average Southern Miss team has dampened bowl hopes and put UVA behind the eight ball. With an easy nonconference game before jumping into ACC play, the Cavs will try to lean on its defense (first in the conference in tackles for a loss) to make some noise.

ly affect the attitudes of people towards physical exercise” Brad Moore, a senior in Sports Management and an ACE personal trainer, said. “The symptoms such as fatigue, malnutrition, muscle weakness, weight loss or gain, etc. will inhibit exercise. This will make it very difficult to train at a competitive level.” Since Cozzarelli has realized what was causing her decrease in performance, she has quickly returned to elite levels, achieving All-American status in the 10,000 meters and is one of the top runners on this year’s women’s cross country team.

Next Game: vs. Idaho (10/1, 3:30 p.m.) #11 Virginia Tech (4-0, 0-0 ACC): “Let’s Get It Started” – Black Eyed Peas Not only is conference play finally getting started for the Hokies, but the competition has been drastically ratcheted up after a soft nonconference docket. Ranked seventh in the country for rushing, dark horse Heisman candidate David Wilson will look to damage Clemson’s No. 86 rush defense. Next Game: vs. Clemson (10/1, 6 p.m.)

State’s cricket team helps students transition Women’s Golf team earns first national ranking in program history

Ranked No. 6 in the country, N.C. State cricket team popularizes sport.

In the midst of its best start in program history, the Wolfpack women’s golf team has earned a ranking for the first time since Golf World/NGCA Division I women’s coaches rankings were revived in 2001-2002. While checking in at No. 23 in the country, coach Page Marsh’s girls have already set school records for lowest three-day total and lowest team round, with all three scores equal to or better than the previous record. The Wolfpack, winners of the Cardinal Cup and fourth place finishers at the Cougar Classic, will head to Chapel Hill for the Tar Heel Invitational beginning October 7. Source: N.C. State Athletics

Swimming and Diving tabs captains for 20112012 season N.C. State swimming and diving head coach Braden Holloway has announced the captains who will lead his program in the upcoming year for both the men’s and women’s teams. For the men, seniors Daniel Basler and Conor Brennan are set to captain the men alongside freshman Michael Camper. For the women, junior Marifrances Henley and senior Erica Waters will set the tone for their respective team. The season will begin on October 7 with the annual Red and White Scrimmage before the team takes off to Christiansburg, Va. for a tournament one week later. Source: N.C. State Athletics

Far from a spot light usually reserved for varsity athletics, N.C. State’s cricket club has quietly built themselves into one of the country’s most prolific programs. Students of all backgrounds, many of whom are estranged from their homes thousands of miles away, rely on the cricket club to feel at home. Despite the lack of familiarity with the sport in the state of North Carolina, the University’s cricket club has been consistently successful over the past several years. Competing with the likes of Ohio State, Rutgers and Purdue, the Wolfpack has often been ranked No. 1 in the country. Kaushik K. Gopalakrishnan is a graduate student in computer engineering and the president of the club. As a native of India, he said he loves the game for many reasons, one of which is the fact that both individual and team performances are equally important to the success of a team. “I love the way it gives you the responsibility when your team needs you, and at the same time you realize the importance of teamwork,” Gopalakrishnan said. “I love

the way the game captivates your interest.” Gopalakrishnan also admitted to having a unique experience in contrasts between how he plays the same game at home in India and in the U.S. “Cricket here in the U.S. is very different from cricket in India,” Gopalakrishnan said. “The playing surfaces I have played on here are new to me, and I have never seen them before. It is a whole new expe-

rience and I feel I learn a lot from that. It is not passionate as it is in India, and that is why we want to promote the game among the local people.” Mufaddal Noorbhaiwaala, a graduate student in integrated manufacturing systems and also a native of India, claimed that cricket remains a big part of his life despite the heavy workload he has had to face in school. “It’s very important,” Noorb-

ACC ROUNDUP

All-American Cozzarelli balances celiac disease with running. Phil Misklow Staff Writer

Being a college athlete is a daunting task. Athletes juggle practice, classes, competitions, homework and a social life. There is little time for them to do anything else. Now, imagine you are an All-American athlete and a leader on a high-caliber team, and you’ve discovered you have an immune deficiency called celiac disease. Celiac disease is an immune deficiency where the body cannot properly digest gluten. These are the pressures Andie Cozzarelli faces everyday. Cozzarelli, a senior in civil engineering, is one of the senior leaders on the NC State women’s cross country team, which looks to compete for an ACC title. Cozzarelli earned All-American status in the 10,000 meters during track this past spring, after discovering she has celiacs. Cozzarelli was suffering during last year’s crosscountry season and could not figure out why. She always felt ill, and even though she was training harder than ever, she was not racing up to her standards. “[During] my f resh-

to our games and practice sessions. It’s like an incentive and a motivation for me to study hard and take a deserving break to do something so constructive.“ According to Hardik Parekh, a graduate student in civil engineering and the captain of the N.C. State cricket team, playing cricket at State has not only helped him to settle down

Clemson, Virginia Tech highlight our look at this weekend’s games around the conference. Sean Fairholm Deputy Sports Editor After an embarrassing weekend of football, the ACC is preparing to pick up the pieces with several games within the conference. Completing the week five slates, Maryland, Miami, Virginia, North Carolina and Duke jump out of conference while Florida State has a bye week to regroup from two consecutive losses. In this week’s round up, Technician assesses upcoming games and the state of all 12 conference teams via music. Meera Patel/Technician

Junior Erin Mercer warms up with the rest of the women’s cross country team on Sept. 7. The practice took place at 7:30 a.m. on Derr Track.

man year, I was tired a lot, [and] my iron levels were not very good, so that was a problem,”Cozzarelli said. “My runs killed me and I hated them. I started gaining weight, so my times were worse than they were in high school and I didn’t know why. “I was frustrated that I didn’t know what was wrong.” After talking with the team nutritionist, Cozzarelli realized she was a celiac. After

spending nearly a week gluten-free, her symptoms begin to clear and she began to feel better on her runs. It was not easy for her to change eating habits overnight. Since she can’t have any gluten, she can’t simply walk into a dining hall and eat what she likes. She has learned what type of gluten-free pastas and foods

ATLANTIC DIVISION Boston College (1-3, 0-1 ACC): “The Way We Were” – Gladys Knight Looking to avoid its first losing season since 1998, the Eagles are trying to rekindle a traditionally strong defense. After a difficult start to the season, BC desperately needs a win against Wake to keep the streak and the bowl hopes alive. Next Game: vs. Wake Forest (10/1, 12:30 p.m.) #13 Clemson (4-0, 1-0 ACC): “The New Kid in Town” – The Eagles Up next for the current toast of the ACC is a trip to Blacksburg to take on the Hokies of Virginia Tech. Leading the conference in passing

with 313 yards per game, Tajh Boyd will try to prove Clemson’s energized start to the season isn’t just a mirage. Next Game: at Virginia Tech (10/1, 6 p.m.) #23 Florida State (2-2, 0-1 ACC): “Losing Touch” – The Killers Following two difficult losses versus top-ranked Oklahoma and No. 21 Clemson, FSU receives a well-deserved good-bye. However, the ‘Noles could be losing touch in the Atlantic division race if they wake up Sunday morning to find division rival Clemson has upset Virginia Tech. Next Game: at Wake Forest (10/8, 12:30 p.m.) Maryland (1-2, 1-0 ACC): “You Don’t Know Me” – Ben Folds In the span of three weeks, the Terps have gone from realistic Atlantic division contenders to owners of the ACC’s worst loss of the season to date – a 38-7 humiliation at home against Temple. Despite two consecutive losses, can Randy Edsall show which Maryland team will show up in conference play? Next Game: vs. Towson (10/1, 3:30 p.m.) North Carolina State (2-2, 0-1 ACC): “Help is on the Way” – Rise Against Despite early-season injuries magnifying a difficult start to the year, State is still well within range of competing for what appears
