Chandler Thompson, student body president, and Provost Warwick Arden co-chaired the committee’s September meetings that voted Sept. 26 unanimously in favor of a $330 increase for in-state undergraduates and a $660 increase for all other students — outof-state undergraduates as well as all graduate students. The UNC Board of Governors does not meet again until January, but if TRAC recommendations pass the Board of Governors and the North Carolina Legislature, they will come into affect during the fall 2012 and spring 2013 semesters. “I think it’s important to give students and parents as much notice as possible to plan for paying,” Thompson said.

In reality, for those students, tuition was raised by $900, from $5629 to $6529. “One thing to keep in mind is that we’re nowhere near the end of the tuition discussion; it still has to go through our Board of Governors,”

Thompson said. “I’m hoping to have a student forum about it and more conversations with the chancellor and the provost.” The proposed increase is inside the 6.5 percent average cap, although the Board of Governors could approve one-time increases higher than that. However, even with only a $330 in-

Larper was playing footbag with some friends, taking advantage of the nice weather. “I have a break between classes and I usually go to the library, but today I wanted to switch it up,” he said. “One of my friends had a [footbag], so we decided to play.” “Hacky Sack” is actually a trademarked name of the common beaded bag — officially known as a footbag.

Poole College of Management’s accounting team, Wolfpack in the Black, crunches numbers just outside Nelson Hall. This four person team is one of 10 semi-finalist teams for the fraud and forensices case competition sponsored by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

looked as a fun test of self reliance, Perry explained. “The reason I like this particular competition compared to other kinds of competitions is because the AICPA did not give any criteria on what they were judging us on. We had to figure out what they were looking for,
so we had to do all the research ourselves. No one told us where to go or where to start,” Perry said. The competition is open for anyone to vote for the team to continue on to the preliminaries, thus allowing them the opportunity to be one of the top three teams. These lucky three are flown to Washington, D.C. to compete for the first place prize of $10,000. Robey went on to mention the tremendous
amount of work they have put in, which has made them crave the first place prize even more. “We’ve put in at least 100 hours for just the first round, and the professors are very proud of us. We’ve spent a number of hours in the accounting department pulling information out of professors. So, winning this would help elevate N.C. State’s accounting degree plan.”
crease, some students will still take hit to their financial outlook. Asanti Thorne, a junior in international studies, said the proposed hike would be overwhelming. “I actually find it a little terrif ying because not only am I a full-time student, but I work part-time and live off-campus. Most of the money I make at work goes to my rent and whatever’s left over goes to food,” Thorne said. “I finally just got financial aid for this semester and I don’t know how I’m going to pay for books next semester since I don’t have any loans.” Graduate students will have to bear a considerable amount of the tuition burden, as the additional $660 would make it an 8.5 percent increase from 2010 for in-state graduates. Kathryn Ely, a graduate student in public history, said she has been lucky enough to get a teaching assistantship for the spring. “Personally, I don’t feel that the tuition [increases] would make as huge a dif-
ference,” Ely said. “But I am much more cognizant of how much money I have coming in and how much is going out.” How it will affect the student body as a whole, though, could be substantial, Ely said. “I can definitely see how a rise in tuition would impact all kinds of students, especially if they’re getting financial aid and it doesn’t go up accordingly. That could be a big issue for some people,” Ely said. A major reason behind raising the tuition for next year lies within the University’s extensive budget cut in response to the UNC System’s 16 percent cut. According to records of the committee’s meetings, Arden said, “Two years ago, we were cut by $53 million, and this year, we were cut by almost $80 million in our continuing budget.” Furthermore, at the committee’s last meeting, the costbenefit ratio for increasing tuition in respect to the deficit was discussed. Provost Arden and Vice Chancellor Leffler commented jointly that, “It’s not possible to make up the $80 million deficit with a campus-initiated tuition increase. Given the total amount of money needed to run the university, tuition is a very small percentage. CITI will help us to regain some of

our lost capacity.” Lori Johnson, the director of Strategic Debt Management, said the balancing act is a catch-22 that both colleges and students everywhere face. “How low do we keep everything, and what does that do to the quality of your guys’ education? If we cut back too far, students don’t get the quality of education they deserve,” Johnson said.
International Month brings passport fair to students in Caldwell Lounge today Fair allows students the public to apply for a passport on campus. Emily Collis Correspondent
As part of the University’s International Month celebrations, the 8th annual Passport Fair will be held Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Caldwell Lounge. The fair will give students and the community the opportunity to either apply for a passport for the first time
or to renew passports that have already expired. Chantell LaPan, a graduate student and program coordinator for the Office of International Affairs, said she feels students should take advantage of this resource. “It is our hope that this annual event makes it easy and convenient so that anyone who has been thinking of getting a passport takes the opportunity to do it at this time,” LaPan said. LaPan emphasized that although the location has changed from previ-

who plan to study abroad in the future, as a valid passport is required for study abroad applications. “[Coordinators] hope those individuals who have been thinking about going abroad, but haven’t yet been able to for one reason or another, will take the opportunity to do so,” LaPan said. “Getting their passport is the first step toward making that a reality.”

According to LaPan, it is this service that makes the process quicker than at the standard government locations. “We anticipate this will take much less time than scheduling an appointment with the post office and having to go to a separate location to have your photos taken,” LaPan said.

{Our view}
The Facts:
On June 13, N.C. State lost its full-time pre-law adviser, Mary Tetro. Kelly Laraway, director of the short term experimental partnership program (STEP), assumed control of pre-law services after she left.
Our Opinion:
Though it appeared pre-law services would deteriorate with Tetro’s layoff, Laraway has done an excellent job in maintaining Tetro’s efforts. Pre-law services should continue in this direction, and other programs should follow its example in sustaining layoffs and budget cuts.
Pre-law lives
M
ary Tetro’s departure was upsetting and sudden, and left many pre-law students concerned about the future of pre-law academic services. A decline in membership of the Pre-law Student Association resulted from Tetro’s departure. However, Kelly Laraway took the reins of pre-law services, and membership in the Pre-law Student Association has recovered to its previous numbers. Laraway made the transition to advising with ease. She has continued to provide the same type of legal advice and assistance to pre-law students, with emails ranging from how to handle multiple LSATs to internship opportunities. Because of Laraway’s primary position as director of the STEP program at N.C. State, she is in the unique position of being able to provide internship opportunities which relate to law directly to pre-law students. Much of Laraway’s emails include opportunities to apply to various pro-

Aside from the opportunity to converse directly with associates of the schools to which students wished to apply, Laraway arranged various classes which occurred during the law school fair. These classes were geared directly toward other concerns students held about applying to law school, with a course on writing personal statements and a course on LSAT strategy. N.C. State lost 15.1 percent of state funding this year, which resulted in the loss of 753 administrative and faculty positions, a decrease in services, lesser course sections, and fewer class seats. The current financial situation has left State and other universities fighting to save the most pertinent programs and services and reducing those deemed not
grams and internships. Application reviewers on law school boards always press the importance of embarking on a legal experience and Laraway definitely provides opportunities for students to do so. She also provides links to test preparation sessions and seminars with current law students. The Law School Fair, originally created by Tetro, was run by Laraway this year with incredible success. The law fair had great attendance, according to Dan Rowe, the president of the Pre-law Student Association. More than 88 law schools attended the fair with representatives spending four hours answering each and every question about their school. Free waivers for applying to certain schools were distributed, saving students around $70 per school if applying. Overall, the law fair
as important. Mary Tetro was an unfortunate casualty of this situation, and it is encouraging that, despite her leave, another faculty member has taken control of the program and kept it above water. Laraway has not only kept the program running, but has also continued to provide students counsel and opportunities with the same level of dedication as exhibited previously by Tetro. Other programs at N.C. State which suffered cuts and reductions should learn from Laraway’s example. Though their services may not receive the same level of support as previously granted, financially or otherwise, these services can still stay alive and thrive. As long as faculty continues to show dedication and interest, the services will continue to provide counsel and assistance for students.

I
f you have a heart, the story of the Penn State scandal surely broke it. And for those of you who had the misfortune of reading the grand jury findings on the alleged crimes of Jerry Sandusky, the former defensive coordinator at Pennsylvania State University, I sympathize with the proRussell found sadness Witham you’re surely Senior Staff feeling for Columnist those young men right now. For the rest of you—those lucky enough to have shielded their eyes from those horrible offenses—I sincerely advise you to avoid them. I would say Sandusky is a disgrace to the human race, but surely his alleged molestation of at least eight young boys since the mid-1990s is more heinous than anything we would logically ascribe to humanity. These allegations are not the actions of a rational person. Physically assaulting young boys—especially those who had been specifically identified by his own charitable foundation as vulnerable—is sub-human by any acceptable standard. Sandusky is a rapist of the worst kind. He lured children with gifts, money and the promise of a college athletics program in the most disgraceful way imaginable. Fortunately, the man who was once famous for helping Penn State earn the moniker Linebacker U will spend the rest of his days in the hands of the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections. He will be castigated. He will never step foot among decent people again. It would be convenient to think this man was totally invisible; a modern John Wayne Gacy who was only caught due to the bravery of one of his victims. But it’s not that easy. There is no delete button for this error. The only solution is to destroy the whole system. It won’t eradicate this horror, but it would serve to teach a simple lesson Penn State must learn— the same lesson this University had to relearn not too long ago. Two years ago, Chancellor James Oblinger, Provost Larry
Nielsen and Chairman of the Board of Trustees McQueen Campbell were involved in a pay-for-play scheme that led to the hiring of Mary Easley, the wife of Governor Mike Easley, in a highly-compensated role with the University. With that said, it always seemed to be a tangential cognizance for Oblinger and Nielsen. If they had divulged the extent of their knowledge before the inquiries crashed down, they might still hold their former positions. The cover-up is often the source of the greatest consternation. In Penn State’s case, the cover-up bears a pretty obvious corollary here. The offense was obviously much more egregious, but the point remains: the administrators at Penn State, from the legendary head football coach, Joe Paterno, to the athletics director and all the way up to the president of the University, had the opportunity to right an obvious wrong when these sins were originally brought into context in 2002. Instead of immediately reporting the actions to law enforcement when they were apprised of the situation, theirs was a concerted and deliberate effort to save face for Penn State at the expense of some of the most vulnerable children in State College, Pennsylvania. They allowed a known sexual predator to molest for nine additional years and ruin the lives of several innocent children. Everyone who had knowledge of this situation and failed to stop Sandusky is an accessory—perhaps not in the eyes of the law, but certainly under any sense of morality. There is zero excuse for inaction when children’s safety is at stake. Joe Paterno has done great things for football in Pennsylvania, but his hands aren’t free of this blood. He must never coach another game. End of story. Some of the other relevant administrators here will surely serve jail time, but all must go.

Family of the Year
Think about it
After reading Mr. Young’s opinion in Monday’s campus forum, I have two issues with his letter. First, it appears that Mr. Young is unaware of the actual contest entry guidelines for Family of the Year. Entrants into the contest were to write an essay describing why their family is a great N.C. State family. Only 27 students chose to enter this contest. I was not selected from the student body based on my father’s status as a professor at N.C. State, nor did my father help me in any way with the creation of the essay itself, which brings me to my second issue with his letter. I’m assuming from Mr. Young’s complaints about the policy of the contest that he did not even take the time to read my essay. Had he done so before quickly forming his opinion about my family and myself, he would have discovered the real reason my family was chosen for Family of the Year. My essay details the hardships my family and I have endured over the past two years and how I have learned from them and grown to be a true member of the Wolfpack. The Family of the Year contest is a wonderful way to honor N.C. State families, and I encourage all students to enter next year. Anyone who belittles the achievements of a hardworking N.C. State student does not deserve to call himself or herself a member of the Wolfpack.
While Chelsey Francis’ column was thought-provoking and hit on some key points, I was disappointed that she chose rape as a reason to promote women’s rights. Rape is a horrible thing, and I can only hope that someday the statistics will go from 32,101 to zero. But ending a pregnancy caused by rape and calling it a “healthy way of coping”—without thinking about the child inside you — is not the responsible way to deal

with it. Abortions often end in even more emotional and often physical pain, on top of the trauma caused by the rape. There are so many more alternatives to abortion that women often do not know about or explore. Ending the life of an innocent child because of what their father did should give us pause to consider why exactly we’re doing it. Think about it.

“Yes, the new coach is ambitious and the players are looking forward to wins. The fans are also excited, which motivates the team and the coach to do better.”

‘Modern Warfare 3’ stays true to the series
Though it offers nothing groundbreaking, MW3 offers enjoyable gameplay that sticks close to home.
Modern Warfare 3 Infinity Ward Activision PC, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii
Brooke Shafranek Senior Staff Writer
After the two main developers at Infinity Ward departed, many did not have high hopes for Modern Warfare 3. However, for fans of the series, there’s more of the same game to be enjoyed in the third edition. Upon starting up the latest addition to the Call of Duty series, I launched spec-ops and tried out the highly-anticipated survival mode. While it’s disappointing that this new addition to the series is only two-player, it is highly satisfying and still enjoyable to play. The ability to replenish ammunition, buy weapons, kill streaks and explosives makes the different waves of enemies a challenging addition to gameplay and provides a fun experience. Also, ranking up in survival mode can allow the player to unlock certain attachments for weapons and different kill streaks to make the boss waves a little easier to complete. The online multiplayer is pretty similar to games earlier in the series, though it seems to add a little flare to differentiate
it. Now, not only players rank up, but so do their weapons. It is a new way to have the gun complement the playing style. Further, the guns have a certain weight to them that Call of Duty: Black Ops did not deliver. It takes fewer bullets to kill an enemy, which is highly satisfying. Unfortunately, the maps are a huge problem. Most are extremely generic and offer no tactical planning or scenic brilliance. Black Ops had maps like Hotel, Firing Range and Nuketown, each offering something different to the experience. The maps were unique, something that is in short supply with the new game. Every single map in MW3 is plain, boring, gray and lacking interactive elements. Due to a lack of recognizable landmarks on the maps, it is very hard to familiarize yourself with the layouts. Complementing the multiplayer component is the single player mode. The campaign is action-packed at the very beginning, filling the player with a desire to kill anyone in sight. The missions come together to

offer a beautifully-constructed, excitement-filled thriller. Sadly, it is a very short story, with only about five hours of gameplay. Again, this sequel fails to live up to the bar set by its predecessor. The Black Ops campaign was around nine hours and was incredibly captivating. The story was told through flashbacks, in which the player ultimately comes to question the sanity of the narrator.
In comparison, MW3 is very flat in its campaign. While old characters are brought into play, there is no connection to them. The storyline had a lot of potential, but the end the campaign, while fun to play, is disappointing. The graphics are nothing great. The game looks exactly like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 did two years ago. I wanted to be blown away by the graphics, but because of
the company issues of Infinity Ward, the development team had to use an old engine, which explains why the graphics aren’t extraordinary. Overall, the visual style remains strong, but leaves the mark of another missed opportunity upon the title. Thankfully, MW3 has fourplayer local multiplayer, and also missions to complete in spec-ops as well as having survival mode.
Although the online multiplayer maps are not the most satisf ying, everything else seems up to par with the franchise. In the end, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is just like its predecessors, a common complaint against the franchise. However, if you were a fan of the series in the past, odds are you’ll find plenty to enjoy in this year’s installment.
Cellist performs her unique style live Acclaimed cellist Shana Tucker played two concerts for N.C. State students last week.

A large group turned out to hear Tucker perform, with her songs making many fans begin to dance in their seats. Tucker doesn’t see herself as a traditional performer. Even ignoring her use of a classical cello, she described her showmanship as unorthodox. Tucker said she learned quickly that it wasn’t just enough to play a few songs for a concert

and leave. “You might be able to play the song well,” Tucker said, “but there’s no showmanship.” Tucker felt that much of her showmanship came from her willingness to talk about the content of her songs with the audience between each number. Tucker talked about the history of the songs she was going to perform, and even included humorous anecdotes
from her own life. “It’s okay to talk to the audience the way I’m talking to you now,” Tucker said. “It’s really okay.” Sharon Moore, the director of Center Stage at N.C. State, was one of the people responsible for booking Tucker’s concert. When asked why she decided to bring Tucker to N.C. State, Moore said without hesitation, “because she’s pretty much
awesome.” Moore worked with Tucker when she was the concert coordinator at N.C. State. “She’s always such an amazing spirit,” Moore said. When asked about how it feels to come back to campus, Tucker had mixed feelings. Though she has a deep love of N.C. State, she still finds it a bid odd when coming back to perform. “It’s still kind of weird, coming back here,” Tucker said, “but in a good way. I mean, students come back, but when does a freaking employee come back as a performer?” The audience didn’t just enjoy Tucker’s concert, they were captivated, as evidence by their vocal reluctance to see her leave. This is a sentiment they shared with the musician when Tucker said, with a hint of regret, that she’d held the audience prisoner long enough. Tucker replied by saying her shoes were getting to be a pain and her feet would probably only last a few more songs. Next up for the successful artist is none other than the circus. More specifically, the renowned Cirque du Soleil. Tucker will be working on a show called KÁ, which will be performed by Cirque du Soleil in Los Angeles.

N.C. State dance program celebrates 25 years
The fall dance program provided an opportunity to show the skills of the various dance classes. Fritz Barnewolt Senior Staff Writer
Last Thursday and Friday, The N.C. State Dance Program put on its annual Fall Concert, commemorating its 25th anniversary. Current students and alumni collaborated on the concert, bringing their own styles and ideas to the table. The student groups that performed included the NCSU Dance Company, the Panoramic Dance Project, the NCSU Dance Program and a modern dance company artistically directed by Program Director Robin Harris. Alumni Mair Culbreth and Gerren Mobley presented their own projects performed by current students. Culbreth’s Anatomy of an Argument was presented by the NCSU Dance Company, while the Panoramic Dance Project performed excerpts of Mobley’s Testimonial. The NCSU Dance Company put on a show of dances which included: The Use of Classical and Operant Conditioning in Training Aldabra Tortoises by Kelly Bryant, Pathological Alterations in Food Intake by Jacquelyn Watson, Raising a Well-Respected Canine Citizen by Mary Jackson, How to Make a Tutu by Cassia Lewis, Survival Techniques by Kaitlin Smith, Videof luoroscopic Swallow Study by Megan Imhoff, Spandex Specifications by Monica Matthai and Agee Taylor and Abstract Algebra: Introduction to Groups by Sarah Griner.

Game number two of Ca nes’ C ol lege Nig ht brought energy as right wing Patrick Dwyer scored his first two goals for the Carolina Hurricanes, both of them coming shorthanded. ‘Let’s go Canes’ echoed throughout RBC Center with 13 minutes left of the game against the Philadelphia Flyers, but they eventually took down Carolina, 5-3. With four minutes left, Flyers forward Matt Read fired a one-timer past goalie Cam Ward, which iced the contest. The Hurricanes are finding their identity again and according to head coach Paul Maurice, actions speak louder than statistics. “This is game 18 for us,” Maurice said. “Thirteen of those games have been against playoff teams last year. We played the top six teams in the NHL as of

Did You know? N.C. State has lost seven consecutive games to Clemson with the Pack’s last victory over the Tigers coming on Oct. 16, 2003. Since 1989, NCSU has put up just a 6-16 record in the “Textile Bowl” and State has not defeated the Tigers in November since 1972.
Clemson’s dramatic comeback keeps the Tigers atop this week’s rankings. After a slow week, the action picked up, and the conference layout became clearer. The Coastal Division is down to a two team race, with Georgia Tech and Miami being eliminated from contention over the weekend. The Atlantic Division is now clinched, as Clemson defeated Wake Forest late in Death Valley. While the divisional races became clearer, no new teams reached bowl eligibility, as Wake Forest and Miami both lost over the weekend. 1. #7 Clemson (9-1, 6-1 ACC ; Last Week 1) – It went down to the wire, but Clemson clinched its Atlantic Division title against Wake Forest with a field goal as time expired. While the Tigers were unimpressive in the win, they have shown that they can never be counted out of games, after overcoming their third double digit deficit of the season. (11/19 @ N.C. State) 2. #8 Virginia Tech (9-1, 5-1 ACC; LW 2) – The Hokies could have folded under the lights at Georgia Tech, but they answered the call in a convincing fashion. The remaining schedule isn’t a cakewalk, but all signs point to Virginia Tech making it to the ACC for a rematch
with Clemson that will decide who will represent the conference in the Orange Bowl. (11/17 vs. North Carolina) 3. #25 Florida State (7-3, 5-2 ACC; LW 4) – This season, Florida State fans will look back and wonder what could have been. After dropping to 2-3 on October 8, the Seminoles have rattled off five straight wins, including this weekend’s victory over in-state rival Miami. (11/19 vs. Virginia) 4. Virginia (7-3, 4-2 ACC; LW 5) – The Cavaliers had their doubters, but they’re now winning games that they’re supposed to win. Virginia bounced back quickly after its loss to N.C. State, putting itself in position to steal the Coastal crown from Virginia Tech. If the Hoos can finish the season with wins over Florida State and Virginia Tech, a Dec. 3 date with Clemson will be on tap. (11/19 @ #25 Florida State) 5. Georgia Tech (7-3, 4-3 ACC; LW 3) – Since starting the season 6-0, the Yellow Jackets have been in a tailspin, losing three out of their next four games. Surprisingly, their only win came against ACC leader Clemson. While Georgia Tech is still a pleasant surprise, fans have to be disappointed with how Tech has played down the stretch. 6. Wake Forest (5-5, 4-3 ACC; LW 8) – For the third straight week, Wake Forest fell

The Women’s Rugby Football Club proved indestructible yet again as it handed the College of Charleston a resounding 59-10 defeat in a home fixture. The club, which was coming off a streak of four consecutive games where they scored more than 50 points, showed no mercy toward its opponents from South Carolina and remains undefeated for the season. Senior in communications and safety officer of the club, Katy Walls, said she felt that despite some initial blips, the team emerged strong and was in
