Raleigh Civic Symphony provides music Annual performance provides classical music for students and community. Lauren Vanderveen Staff Writer

The Raleigh Civic Symphony of N.C. State performed its program entitled “Giants,” Sunday in Stewart Theatre. The program included renditions of the most well known musicians of the 19th century: Ludwig van Beethoven, Johannes Brahms and Pyotr Tchaikovsky. Randall Rehfuss, the concert coordinator, explained the work put in prior to Sunday’s performance in order to make it a reality. “[Randolph Foy] chose the theme and which pieces he wanted to be played. I pulled those pieces from the music department’s library of scores, ensembles,” Rehfuss said. “Once I pull the music, dependent on the piece, we have to pay rights or royalties and certain fees to the Arts Association to produce copyrighted music.” Choosing the pieces had a lot to do with the University’s finances, according to Randolph Foy, the Raleigh Civic Symphony’s conductor. “This program is one of the most conservative programs that I’ve had since I’ve been working here, so about 15 years, which is partly because of our budget crisis. It’s about $400 to $500 per piece, and that was only for six weeks so to rent it for the whole semester, it’d be double that,” Foy said. The Raleigh Civic Symphony encompasses about 75 players of students and community musicians alike. Students can take it as a one-hour course credit. By providing detailed program notes, the audience was also given the opportunity to not just listen, but to learn from great classical pieces. Foy said, “I have freedom in the programming, in taking the audience places in repertoire that’ll make them think, as well as enjoy and wonder.” The title itself, “Giants,” was referenced in the program notes as to when Brahms compared a symphony to “a giant marching behind you.” According to Foy, having the Raleigh Civic Symphony and the Chamber Orchestra at State can benefit a student of any major who enjoys playing music. “There are a few students that are going to med school next year that are playing in this concert. They’re really fine players that could have been music majors but they chose to come here and major in biomedical engineering…but I just know that music is going to continue to be an important part of [their lives],” Foy said.

Even so, the fact that there is no official music major at State is worrisome to Foy. “We’ve been working on it for a long time but the recent economic downturn has just made it difficult. We’ve just had word that General Administration University won’t be adding new majors in anything for a couple of years,” Foy said. The University does provide an arts application for music major and a music minor. “There are plenty of music students and over a hundred students in arts applications. In some ways, that is our music major but it’s not the typical performance major that most schools have,” Foy added. The Raleigh Civic Symphony prides itself on its efforts in “innovative programming.” Some examples of this in the past would be the China Dreams concert that was sponsored by the Confucius Institute, the African American Heritage Concert, and more recently, the “High Classical” program performed by the Raleigh Civic Symphony and the Chamber Orchestra jointly.

Sign restrictions in place at Carter-Finley University placing new restrictions on signs allowed in Carter-Finley at football games. Will Brooks Staff Writer

Restrictions against sign holding at football games were made clear in a press release sent by Shannon Yates, Assistant Athletics Director of athletic operations, November 4. There has not been a complete signban at Carter-Finley, but not all signs will be allowed into the stadium, according to the press release. Five specific restrictions were listed, some which restrict placement of signs, others restricting each signs’ content. Disqualifying features include signs that are, “offensive to individuals or teams,” and signs that are not in “good taste,” according to the release. Signs must also be held properly. According to the press release, signs may not block spectators’ view, create a hazard, or be “affixed on property, stadium walls, railings, or overhangs.” Luke Nadkarni, sophomore in communications, explained that the restricting sign content concerned him

“it would be interesting to know what the justification would be for that policy.” Jesse Rodar, sophomore in fashion and textile management, explained that the only content restrictions should be placed against signs that contain profanity. “As long as you don’t say anything racist or profane then it should be OK because it’s all in the sport,” Rodar said. The rules that are of particular interest to Rodar, Richardson and Nadkarni are ones restricting the content that fans can display, not where signs are placed. Nadkarni explained that he was not keen on the idea of content restriction, but realized where the athletic department was coming from. “Of course, some parameters must be drawn as far as appropriateness.” Nadkarni said. The sign rules will apply to the upcoming game against Clemson and the remainder of the season; however, these restrictions are not applicable to games outside of Carter-Finley.

Annual GLBT Cabaret had entertaining performances combined with educational information. Sarah Dashow Staff Writer

Sponsored by the University’s GLBT Center, the GLBT Community Alliance and Pack Music Productions, Friday night’s Cabaret combined entertainment with education about civil rights and diversity. Hosted by drag queen Karma Electra, the show featured a variety of acts, both song and dance. This included groups

such as Juice Box Stereo, Ladies in Red, Grains of Time, Fusion and the Paul Brothers. There were also individual student acts, including LED hula hooping by Zach McKinney, Britney Spears lip-sync by Josh Mills and Chris Jackson and a comedy singing performance by Jose Gonzalez and Michael Atkins. Some professors even participated; Rupert Nacoste, professor in psychology, did a poetry reading. The hula hooping was a favorite of students Amanda Jones, senior in psychology and religion, and David Whitcher, senior in sociology and religion.

“The LED really made it pop and made it really good,” Jones said. “There was so much passion in it,” Whitcher said. “I’m definitely going to be back next year.” Between acts, Justine Hollingshead, director of the GLBT Center, would take the stage to introduce representatives from groups on and off campus that educate and promote diversity. This included the Office for Institutional Equity and Diversity, which promotes cultural competence development, and the new GLBT Center of Raleigh, located on Hillsborough Street.

The focus of the show’s education was on North Carolina’s same-sex marriage amendment, going to the polls May 12, 2012. There was a postcard included in the show’s program that provided facts on the amendment. The program also included an information card on a GLBT-related Alternative Spring Break opportunity. Students are able to participate in this service break in 2012 that would send them to San Francisco to learn about the homeless community there, understand the causes of GLBT homelessness and learn his or her role to break the cycle and

empower GLBT youth. Students who attended the cabaret believe that events such as this are important to the campus as a whole to promote diversity and educate a larger demographic. “I think it’s vital, especially on a campus like ours. With the age group that we have and the different groups that are on campus, education is always important so having an event like this really highlights that,” Jones said. “It’s great how they make it entertaining along with the informative aspect of it. So you came to see a show, but they also provided information

about what amendment one includes, so it’s a great opportunity to reach a demographic that otherwise might be left out in terms of what [amendment one] actually means,” Whitcher said. “It’s probably the biggest thing the GLBT Center does all year, and that is really good for visibility and making other people feel accepted at the University,” Guy said. The show ended with a lipsync of “I Will Survive” by Lily Diva-ine, a drag queen, who was later joined by the other performers as they led an audience chant of “Vote no on one!”

Instead of using a traditional camera for this particular project, Kuwayama opted to use a simple iPhone. “The most important thing is why people do what they do,” Johnson said. The Scholars forum hopes to learn more about his personal anecdotes, reaction from the war and in-depth explanations of his work.

{Our view}

Provide the option for education and a family The Facts:

The proposed parental leave legislation in Student Senate would provide graduate students with the arrival of a new child to take six weeks leave from classes while still maintaining full-student status and a semester extension for graduation.

Our Opinion:

This bill provides students with the option of parental leave while continuing their education. It is not only a benefit to them, but also the state because it promotes higher education as well as family planning.

he Student Senate’s parental leave bill is modeled after an already-inplace policy at UNC-Chapel Hill and one N.C. State has for its faculty. It allows graduate students six weeks of parental leave for the arrival of a new child. It is important because it allows students to keep their full-time student status and have a semester extension on graduation. This importance of being a full-time student to many are the health care and financial benefits, which many would lose by taking leave without some type of policy to protect them. For international stu-

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.

dents, this type of leave could result in the loss of the student visa. With this potential parental leave policy, graduate students wouldn’t have to worry about these types of issues when expecting. While many in opposition of this legislation say it is not fair to give these parent students a break, the benefits can not only help the students, but also the state. This policy promotes higher education as well as family planning.

Sometimes graduate students, or even undergraduates with the intent of going further in their education, go to school and postpone having children until later in their career. This policy will allow them to remove some of the worry of having a child while going to school. This type of policy is already enacted at UNC-CH, and NCSU should catch up. This proposal creates another edge for the University when it comes to promoting its gradu-

ate schools. The senate will vote on this bill at their meeting this Wednesday, and it will then to the Faculty Senate. If it receives full support, Provost Warwick Arden will put to motion enacting this type of policy. Student and faculty representatives in the two senates should see the potential impact of this policy and support it. The University should see this policy through and allow it to take effect. This type of policy is the essence of the N.C. State’s land grant mission—to provide equal higher education for all.

Standing up for rights

uesday, the state of Mississippi stood up for women’s rights when it comes to pregnancy and birth control. The state was voting on Amendment 26 to the State of Mississippi Constitution. The proposed amendment re ad : “ T he term ‘person’ or ‘persons’ shall include Chelsey every human Francis bei ng f rom Staff Columnist the moment of fertilization, cloning or the functional equivalent thereof.” In essence, a group of Mississippi citizens proposed that the state try to outlaw abortion as well as certain types of birth control. In order for the amendment to be proposed, supporters had to collect a nd cer tif y 89, 285 signatures from registered voters in Mississippi. Since t he g roup collected and certified more than106,000 signatures, the amendment was put on the ballot. The amendment was defeated by a margin of 58 percent to 42 percent. According to the Center for American Progress, had the amendment passed, it would have outlawed: all abortions, regardless of the circumstances, most forms of birth control — including the pill and emergency contraception, many parts of common fertility treatments, stem cell research. In addition, the amendment would have made it so that all women who suffer from a miscarriage would be subject to criminal investigation – as a suspect. Thankfully, the amendment did not pass. One of the main reasons I am against amendment 26, or the “Personhood amendment” is because of the issue of rape. Although most people don’t like to discuss rape, it’s much more prevalent in our society than it should be. If a man forces himself upon a woman and she gets pregnant, she should, under no circumstances, be forced to carry the child to term. In addition to the rape, being forced, as the proposed amendment would have made it, to carry that child is a slap in the face. According to the Center for Disease Control and the U.S. Census, the adult pregnancy rate associated with rape is about 4.7 percent, as of 2000.

If that number is true and holds the same today, which is doubtful, that would mean that there are about 32,101 rape-related pregnancies, and thereby children in just one year. Although some of these children are loved by the mother, that’s not the case for all of them. In my mind, the typical reaction of the mother to a rape-child is distaste. The fact that for the rest of her life, she has a living, breathing reminder to the rape she experienced. That’s not particularly a healthy way of coping with something as serious as rape. Additionally, another point of the proposed amendment that should be discussed is the idea of miscarriages. According to the American Pregnancy Association, between 10 and 25 percent of all pregnancies end in miscarriages. Just because a woman suffers from a miscarriage, doesn’t mean she shou ld potentially face criminal charges. The reasons for a miscarriage are numerous. Something as simple as falling could potentially cause a miscarriage. A woman who falls should never have to face the possibility of going to court to decide if her falling was an accident or intentional with the desire to miscarry. Wit h t he “Personhood amendment” the supports and backers were not particularly clear when it came to what was intended by outlawing some common fertility treatments. Depending on what the “common” fertility treatments are, there would be a lot of wanted children not born. Although, the number of pregnancies that result from fertility treatments are not available, I know several people that underwent fertility treatments. I am the result of numerous fertility treatments. Although I was born long before this became an issue, it still hurts to know that some couples who want children could be potentially banned from having children, should this become a law anywhere? S h o u l d t h e “ Pe r s o n hood amendment” ever become an issue in North Carolina or the United States, remember all the ways it would affect pregnancy. Couples who want children should have that option, and women who were raped should have the option to not keep the child.

“...it would have outlawed: all abortions, regardless of the circumstances.”

In response to “Unidentified crime near Hillsborough”

In response to ‘Assigned Seating’ and ‘Family of the Year named’

I found this an absolutely delightful and novel style guide development for reporting descriptions of rapists. From North Carolina State University—an institute of higher learning driven by innovation: The suspect is described as “a dark complexion male, approximately 6 feet tall, stocky build with short “stubbly” hair” according to an email sent out by Barnwell. Was he a dark complexioned Caucasian? A dark complexioned Asian? A dark complexioned Australian Aboriginal? Well, Deputy Chief Barnwell, why don’t you look at the truth? Let’s disabuse ourselves of this unspoken, and undefined by virtue of its very nature of omission, pernicious notion buried in the Deputy Chief’’s overstuffed and flowery words, which in all likelihood were co-crafted by some public disinformation officer. If this suspected lone Midnight Rambler has been active for months on and around N.C. State campus, the police have a much better description of him than this pusillanimous tripe being proffered up by the Deputy Chief of the Campus Cops. The Deputy Chief is in effect committing a crime, by omission, against the yet to be victims of this Midnight Rambler. And the staff at Technician would do well to question themselves as to whether or not they may be aiding and abetting this crime.

As a former student, who traveled from Henderson, N.C. to the N.C. State Campus, 31 miles from the Virginia border, to attend early morning classes, or meet with my adviser, I was not affected by “Assigned Seating” column by Nijah Toshumba. However, the irritation of students who would rhythmically bump your seat in tempo with the cadence of the lecturer can be very annoying, or those who arrive late and have to climb over you with their backpack getting to their seats. As mentioned by Ms. Toshumba in her column one solution would be to have the student sign it each class day with their time of arrival. I am more senior than most students at the half century mark. I made it a point to be front and center, to better pay attention and to see no evil, speak no evil, and hear no evil. Finally, the front page story “Family of the Year named,” gives me pause. I realize most readers do understand it’s important

If Caroline Funkhouser, a junior in communications, who received the Family of the Year Award, is a relative, it would seem inappropriate on her part to accept the award. Communications organizations, radio and TV stations that offer contests and prizes for their listening audience make it a point to issue disclaimers disqualifying family members, workers, sellers in order to avoid an appearance of impropriety.

senior in polymer and color chemistry

junior in biological sciences Bulfin said she strives to create relationships and create a sense of community with whatever she does. Bulfin said she is qualified to be Leader of the Pack because the title is an opportunity to share gratitude to the people in her life who have made her who she is. “My N.C. State family has provided me with unparalleled opportunities to grow as an individual and realize how I am best supposed to serve others,”

Bulfin said. She said she is passionate about all she does and above all else she strives to serve people and build a community wherever she is. “It’s about being a representative for something so much bigger than yourself.” She hopes to use the recognition of the title to take advantage of the opportunities to meet more students and make a stronger impact on campus, through her research and involvement in the Leadership in Action program.

Johnson said her leadership experiences and her involvement in Air Force ROTC make her stand out.

She said she’s gained the ability to take care of people and learn what they need to be successful from her leadership activities. “I like being a part of something that is bigger than myself,” Johnson said. She said even though people may not remember her name as “Leader of the Pack” in the future, she wants to leave a lasting impact. “If I can make a difference in somebody’s life, no matter how small, maybe one day it will turn into a big difference.”

Melissa Johnson

senior in mechanical engineering Turner said his experiences, his initiative and interest in working in a community reflect the qualities of Leader of the Pack. Service to other people is something he has been passionate about during his time here at N.C. State. He has participated in several Alternative Service Break trips and has studentled two of them. He said he has a mentor or teacher style of leadership. “I believe that everyone, given access to the right resources and training, can be incredibly capable and creative,” he said. Turner said the title is more about empowering equals

Hill said the fact he likes to have fun in everything he does and his positive attitude makes him different from other candidates. “Successful Leaders of the Pack not only do well in academics, but have a genuine interest in helping people both inside and out of the classroom,” Hill said.

Cadets honor veterans memorial

ROTC hosts candlelight vigil, run and memorial ceremony for Veterans Day. Story By katie sanders | photo By john joyner

or 364 days a year, people of Raleigh and N.C. State view the Bell Tower as a symbol of scholarship, athletics and Wolfpack pride. But every year, ROTC cadets and cadre remember the Bell Tower’s original significance—a memorial dedicated to alumni veterans.

Sophomore in German studies Kyle Backhus guards the Memorial Bell Tower late at night on Thursday, Nov. 10. The annual vigil is held in memory of those who have served, starting at 8 p.m. and running over night until the morning of Veteran's Day.

Air Force ROTC cadets held a candlelight vigil in honor of veterans Thursday night. Though doing so entailed staying up all night to stand outside in the cold, guards were eager to volunteer. The vigil consisted of two ROTC uniformed guards watching over a candle, American flag and POW/MIA flag throughout the night of Nov. 10 and into the morning of Nov. 11, Veterans Day, with a formal change of guard every hour. ROTC cadre chose to display the POW/ MIA flag at the vigil to honor and remember missing soldiers. “The POW/MIA flag stands for prisoner of war, missing in action; it symbolizes all those who were captured and detained in war time and for all those who died,” Cadet Kyle Backhus, sophomore in German studies, said. Backhus organized cadet involvement of the event and scheduled students to guard the tower. The event was solemn and elegant; the cadets on duty were in uniform, carrying ceremonial rifles, and guarded “locked on” – they stood at attention, kept their eyes 10 degrees above the horizon and looked straight ahead at all times. Cadet Scott Fitschen, a junior in business management, said the “locked on” mentality exemplified the meaning behind the ceremony. “We are respecting the POW/MIAs, we are not there to just goof off and stand around,” Fitschen said. “We want to show that we’re there for them and we’re showing respect for them. We want to be as disciplined, and as honorable, and as ‘chestout-high’ and proud as we can be.” Fitschen said the event was extremely wellreceived by the public and while they have an extra guard there as a security monitor, they have never needed it. “Everybody around N.C. State seems to be extremely respectful of the vigil … you can see people stopping, paying attention, seeing what’s going on, which is really what it’s all about—the awareness of the situation,” Fitschen said. Arnold Air Society, a professional service organization inside the Air Force ROTC program, coordinates the event every year and has been doing so since they were first formed 20 years ago. “It’s a tremendous honor and they all volun-

teer,” Lt. Col. Chris Froeschner, commander of Air Force ROTC at NCSU, said. Arnold Air Society could not physically provide enough volunteers to guard the tower, so with the help of Air Force cadets and Cadet Backhus, all shifts were full. “…All but three slots were filled by the Arnold Air Society, so that’s probably 100 participation [on part of Arnold Air Society].” This midnight vigil was one of the many ROTC events that took place Friday for Veterans Day. The candlelight vigil led into an annual twomile Veterans Day run, organized this year by the Navy ROTC detachment but inclusive of every branch of ROTC. This year a special ceremony at the Bell Tower followed the run. Thomas Stafford, vice chancellor for Student Affairs and an Army veteran, gave a speech at the service at the Bell Tower Friday morning, explaining the sentiment of unity and strength behind the tradition of the Veterans Day run. “At N.C. State we honor veterans by coming together—Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines…” Stafford said. All of Hillsborough Street was shut down as an estimated 400 people, including all of the ROTC branches, the baseball team, faculty and any civilian volunteers, “with the gumption to get up at 6 in the morning,” as Froeschner put it, ran following a color guard the circumference of the campus. This year’s run and the ceremony that followed focused on honoring the alumni that died in World War I. Not only was Veterans Day originally known as Armistice Day, the armistice for World War I was signed the eleventh hour of the eleventh day. In honor of this event, representatives from Raleigh’s sister city in France, Compiegne, attended the ceremony to memorialize to our World War I and World War II veterans, according to Froeschner. The signing of the World War I armistice took place right outside of Compiegne, and so the location of the ceremony was fitting, as the Bell Tower was dedicated as a memorial to the NCSU alumni who died in World War I. The two cities then exchanged wreaths. Compiegne honored Raleigh with a wreath and one was presented at the same time in the sister city at a separate ceremony in France as an expression of gratitude and fraternity. The ceremony ended with remarks from Stafford about the significance of the Bell Tower on campus. “…As we stand next to the Bell Tower, I want to remind all of us that today we stand on a sacred place,” Stafford said.

fried said. “We also have to learn how to run and be efficient with the ball on the break. We are playing a little bit faster than some of these returning players are used to and they still need to adjust to that.” Gottfried eventually decided to put in freshman forward Tyler Harris. Harris conveyed a spark off of the bench as within seconds scored a three-point shot. Harris also carried some life to his team as senior guard C.J. Williams got set up with a dunk and then a layup as well to cause a 7-0 run for the Wolfpack, putting them ahead by 10 with three minutes left in the game. Eventually the buzzer would sound as the team exchanged points the remainder of the game, pulling the Wolfpack out on top, 84-75. On Sunday night’s game, the Pack faced off against the Morehead State Eagles. A very noticeable difference with the team was in the starting lineup. Starting over junior center Jordan Vandenberg was junior center DeShawn Painter. Within two minutes of the game, the Wolfpack jumped out to a 5-0 lead with ease. Harris saw some playing time early off the bench. With six minutes to go in the first half, State decided to turn the game up a notch. With two buckets respectively from Howell, Wood (both shots were three pointers) and Painter, including an original three point play, the Pack would eventually expand their lead to head into the locker room ahead of the Eagles, 48-30. The second half would be a repeat of the first with powerful performances by both forwards, Howell and Painter.

Painter would also end the game with 100 percent shooting from both the f loor and the free throw line and 19 total points. “I guess this new kind of offense really fits my game,” Painter said. “Coach has been really hard on me right now with having guys out. I just had to step up and play really hard right now to help out my team.” Starting the second half, both Howell and Painter opened with baskets that would eventually lead to a 19-5 run by the Wolfpack that would seal the deal early on. As turnovers continued to hurt the Eagles, the Pack would capitalize at almost every opportunity to strike. As the seconds dwindled down in the game, the Pack would come away with the “W” with a final score of 91-61. Howell, who would finish with 25 points, gives a lot of credit to Gottfried. “Coach Gottfried coming in and helping us in this type of situation is a blessing,” Howell said. After the game, Coach Gottfried had positive things to say about the Pack’s performance. “We did a lot of good things in the game,” Gottfried said. “You always appreciate winning and really what I liked tonight is we moved the ball well. Both games, the guys really shared the ball. Rarely are we ever taking a tough shot. We handled the full court pressure well tonight. We did a lot of good things tonight; a lot of guys got play so it’s a good game for us to build on.” The Pack will face Princeton at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the RBC Center.

State’s only other score of the afternoon came early in the third quarter when junior running back James Washington pushed his way over the goal line on a three-yard rush.

When N.C. State men’s basketball faced off against the UNC-Asheville Bulldogs Friday night, the Pack would have to do so without sophomore forward Calvin Leslie. Prior to the game, Leslie was suspended for the first three games due to receiving impermissible benefits totaling $410. Luckily for the Wolfpack, the team would not need Leslie to overcome the minor challenge that came from the Bulldogs. As soon as the ball hit the f loor, sophomore guard Lorenzo Brown went off; both offensively and defensively, he appeared to be unstoppable. Brown led the Pack offensively with five straight points with ease to open the game, and eventually would have 13. Defensively, Brown ended up with eight steals as the Bulldogs could not contain possession of the ball. Brown ended up one assist shy of a triple double. “Coach talked to me about being in control this week, non-stop,” Brown said. “I did that tonight.” With the help of junior forwards Scott Wood and Richard Howell, the Pack led the Bulldogs by 17 points at the half. The Bulldogs came out of the locker in fine form for the second half. With 14:43 left in the game, the

N.C. State opened its women’s basketball schedule by dominating over the South East Missouri State Redhawks, 66-29, at Reynolds Coliseum on Friday. The 29-point total for SEMO is the fewest points allowed by State since its opener against UNCGreensboro in 2007. The Pack struggled to get into an offensive rhythm in the first half of the game, allowing SEMO to play a closely contested game for the majority of the half. “Right now with our offense, we were a little slow in the first half, a little stagnant in the first half,” Coach Kellie Harper said. “This early in the season, I’m not surprised. We focused mostly on our defense in practices. That’s an area

that’s going to have to improve in the next three days.” Harper then went to a full court press, forcing SEMO into turnovers and turning its errors into 13 points off of turnovers and 10 fast break points. “We had some things to do on defense in terms of our alertness,” Harper said. “We weren’t completely buying into our system. But for the most part, our kids played hard and they had pretty good energy for the most part.” State wasn’t able to create a double-digit deficit until a layup from freshman guard Krystal Barrett pushed the lead to 10 with 4:57 left. State ended the half holding a 14-point lead with the score sitting at 30-16. Junior guard Marissa Kastanek led the Pack in scoring with 10 for the half. “My mindset at the beginning of the game was to just take things slow and let the game come to me and help my teammates get in the flow of the game,” Kastanek said. “We’re all talented enough to play offense but as soon as we keep practicing our system with the

screens and the cuts and just getting to know each other a lot better with our spacing I think it’s going to start off a lot better in the next couple of games.” The second half saw the Pack extend its lead even further by only allowing 13 points in the second half. Freshman guard Erica Donovan led the Wolfpack in scoring in her first outing with 11 points, scoring five points in the first half and six in the second. “Erica gives energy,” Harper said. “She gives a toughness and aggressiveness when she steps on the court. I think that is what you need from a player coming off the bench. You have to have somebody coming off of the bench and giving you energy.” Evans also had an explosive game on the glass by pulling down 14 rebounds in her debut. “That was my job and I know it’s my job to go in and rebound,” Evans said. “I just took my job to heart.” The Pack will play its next Vanessa Movasseghi/Technician

Despite holding Boston College (3-7, 2-5 ACC) to 190 yards of total offense and just 10 first downs, N.C. State (5-5, 2-4 ACC) lost 14-10 Saturday afternoon in Chestnut Hill, Ma. With the defeat, the Wolfpack will now be forced to win its final two games of the season in order to qualify for a postseason bowl. In a game largely void of explosive plays, the Eagles opened the scoring just 2:03 into the first quarter after a 41-yard hook up between Chase Rettig and Alex Amidon brought BC down inside State’s 10 yardline. Two plays after the back shoulder bomb down the left sideline, Josh Bordner scampered into the end zone virtually untouched to cap off the five-play scoring drive. Although the game began with fireworks, the rest of the afternoon painted a much different picture. Apart from Rettig’s long passing play on the first drive, Boston College only managed 77 yards through the air. The away team’s offense could empathize with a lack of production following a hopeful start. Much like the Eagles, NCSU moved the ball well during its first possession. A steady, 14play, 61-yard drive stalled out in the Boston College red zone before freshman placekicker Niklas Sade chipped in a 32yard field goal. Redshirt junior quarterback Mike Glennon completed seven of his eight passes on the Pack’s opening
