Portraits earn seniors free books Agromeck to use fees to provide seniors with free yearbooks Amber Kenney Deputy News Editor
Agromeck, the University’s yearbook publication, is providing any senior who takes a senior portrait a free yearbook. Bryant Robbins, Agromeck editor-in-chief, said offering seniors a free yearbook is part of a pilot project that was brought up last year. “We want to provide seniors with a way to be able to remember their college career, and specifically their senior year,” he said. According to Robbins, the project is currently funded through money that was received from summer school student fees, but in future years the project will depend on the fee increase that was voted on by students earlier this fall. “We asked for an increase of $1,
According to Elias, getting a portrait taken makes you part of N.C. State history. “[Portraits] are and important part of the yearbook being a historical document of the University,” he said. Elias said in past years, Agromeck has been asked to provide the senior portraits of political figures including John Edwards, who had a portrait taken, and the current White House Press Secretary John Gibbs, who did not have one. “More portraits makes [Agromeck] a more complete historic document,” he said. “You never know when people will look back at your photo.” Richard Bache, a senior in turf grass science, said the yearbook giveaway is a good opportunity. “As a senior, I am glad to see the University is giving something back to the students,” he said. “This is a great way to look back and remem-

Senators vote on an issue at the Student Government meeting Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2009. The meeting was very heated on issues surrounding the proposed Talley renovations and the insuing costs.
Student Government to appoint press secretary to report for Student Senate Student Senate revives press secretary position to keep students informed, increase transparency Nick Tran Staff Writer
The Student Senate is preparing to reinstate the press secretary position to ensure students are kept up-to-date on the Senate’s activities. The press secretary is appointed at the discretion of the Senate president and must be approved by the Senate. The position has been unfilled for the past two years. According to the Senate constitution, the press secretary is responsible for writing press releases on Senate meetings and distributing them to media outlets, updating the Senate Web site and advertising events. Senate President Kelli Rogers said the Senate is rethinking the position and reviewing what role the press secretary should play. “The purpose of the press secretary will be to communicate with students and help the media get information on Senate activities without having to go to the meetings,” she said. “The press secretary is a good way to distribute information.” According to Rogers, this is another means for Student Government to increase transparency and is not being done because SG is not receiving

The UAB Films Committee hosted a film premiere last night of When In Rome. Students were allowed to watch the movie, not due to come out to theaters till Jan. 29, for free for the one-time only event. The University’s movie premieres in the past have included films like The Fourth Kind, I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell, and Blades Of Glory. The UAB Films Committee hosts these events when they are offered by advertising agencies like, as with Rome, the AMP agency. According to Will Lamm, UAB Film Committee Chair, when motion picture companies like Disney and Touchstone wish to promote a new movie, they hire advertising and marketing agencies such as AMP Agency or Alloy Media+Marketing. These agencies then have to carry out the job of developing a campaign strategy to reach as many people as possible, usually through advertising on social networking sites and organizing movie premieres across the country for their clients. According to Alloy Media+Marketing’s Web site, teens and young adults are the prime targets of the agencies, and college students are especially vulnerable because they represent a large demographic and most have just began to make executive spending decisions. Integrate publicist for AMP Agency Lizzie Mangianello says that when deciding which colleges to host the premiere, these agencies look at the size of the school, it is decided

Nevertheless, GM still lost money. The Detroit automaker posted a $1.2 billion loss between emerging from bankruptcy on July 10 and Sept. 30. source: mctdirect.com

Routine breast cancer screenings questioned In a highly controversial move, an influential government-sponsored organization now says healthy, asymptomatic women 40 to 49 years old need not be screened routinely for breast cancer. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force previously advised women above the age of 40 to get mammograms every one or two years. Now, it’s telling 40-something women to evaluate the benefits and harms of screening and make decisions that reflect their values after talking to their doctors. Women age 50 and older should get mammograms every two years instead of annually, the group says. source: mctdirect.com

Howling Cow to debut seasonal beverage offering Egg nog will join ice cream on C-Store shelves beginning Friday Staff Report
local cows as the ice cream already available in stores and will be available at the Bragaw and Tunnel C-Stores. According to a press release, the department has traditionally produced egg nog during the winter, but has limited it to gift-giving among families and friends. Last year, the department gauged reception to retail sale of the produce by offering it for a week, and this year there will be three production runs beginning Nov. 18, Dec. 2 and Dec. 16.
Why ‘Howling Cow?’
The name Howling Cow incorporates the sound of University’s mascot, the wolf, with the dairy industry’s main product source, the cow. N.C. State University applied for a U.S. Trademark of the Howling Cow brand name and logo in June, 2009.

{Our view}
A road block to SG transparency S
The Facts:
Kelli Rogers, student senate president, recently announced that she would appoint a senator to Student Government’s vacant press secretary position. The appointee will be in charge of synthesizing Student Senate actions and proposals and relaying that information to the student body and press.
Our Opinion:
The press secretary position runs contrary to Student Government’s efforts to facilitate discourse campus issues. It is unnecessary and convolutes the established modes of objective communication between Student Government and the University populace.
tudent Senate and Student Government’s elected officials have made a push this year to interact and connect with students. Many students were miffed about Senate’s actions in regard to the fee referendum and the Talley-Atrium project recommendation. As a result, Senate has made a concerted effort to get down-on-the-ground with students and rebrand the organization. In a backwards extension of that logic, Senate has decided that to better inform students it requires a press secretary. The position is totally unnecessary and actually serves to undermine the established mode of objective communication between the student body and its elected officials.
dlemen Oblinger’s administration used to hide e-mail and conceal its true actions. The position also presents the goal.

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.
The press secretary position’s primary goal is to synthesize the happenings of Student Senate’s meetings and convey that information to the media and the student body at-large. Kelli Rogers, student senate president, said the position is simply another mode of communication between Student Government and its constituents — students. The unpaid position is appointed by Rogers and must be filled from a member of Student Senate.

Privatize liquor sales in North Carolina
I
t’s uncanny that in 2009, North Carolina still follows the same system of alcohol regulation that was established following the repeal of prohibition in the 1930s. It still has local Alcoholic Beverage Control operations that dictate prices, determine ABC store loBenton cations, pick Sawrey which brands Senior Staff are available Columnist for purchase and administer the sale of liquor in their counties or municipalities. It’s a disjointed system — 158 separate local boards govern their own district independent of each other as long as they operate loosely within some state guidelines. North Carolina’s ABC system is an incredibly inefficient relic of a bygone era that hurts businesses in North Carolina and needs to go. With a government monopoly comes higher prices. Anyone who grew up near t he Sout h Carolina border can tell you that the price of liquor is cheaper across t he border than it is here in North Carolina. This harms the consumer and might as well be another hidden tax in the form of higher prices to the citizens of North Carolina. Restaurants receive a large portion of their revenue from alcohol sales rather than the sale of food — hence the reason that there are rarely any chain or particularly upscale restaurants in areas where liquor sales aren’t allowed by local ABC regulations. On top of the regulations, licensing fees and typically higher prices for liquor, ABC boards require that restaurants and bars receive at least 30 percent of their revenues from food, creating another burden for establishments that are attempting to operate as bars. ABC Stores contribute $250 million in tax revenue to the state. It’s a cash cow for the state and local governments. Re-
gardless of the profits through taxes and revenues, the system’s inefficiencies cannot be ignored. Of the 158 local ABC Boards, most of them oversee only one store and many of the stores do not make a profit. Rural stores, where there is little demand, see a limited choice of products and struggle with lost revenue year in and year out. This is where true market forces could correct a government problem. When stores became unprofitable they would close and when populations created a demand for a product, stores would be built and opened. Politics, as unquantifiable as it is, certainly comes into play when it comes to opening and closing stores. Local boards typically have not been willing to adjust their operations when sales in their county have declined. Government control of alcohol sales is no longer necessary to prevent alcohol abuse and is no more than another revenue stream for the legislature. We’re one of 19 states that still have government monopolies over liquor sales. ABC Boards and the bureaucrats who oversee their operations have become entrenched in a system t hat’s ineff icient a nd needs to be replaced. North Carolina needs to privatize alcohol sales, albeit with regulation to ensure that there is no abuse. The state allows private business to sell beer and wine with special taxes and regulations; why can’t liquor be sold in the same manner? Privatization will result in more efficient investment by private owners that can better serve particular locations and allow the government to focus its time and revenues on more important and pertinent issues.
“ABC Stores contribute $250 million in tax revenue to the state. It’s a cash cow ... ”

Give Wolfprowl a try
I
f a program is not used, it will be lost. In other words, if you don’t use it, you lose it. Wolfprowl, the nighttime bus system, began operations l a s t ye a r and has been an apparent success. Jake Goldbas Kim Staff Columnist Paylor, t he t ra nsit manager who oversees the program, said riders have increased week after week. [And] it’s out there on the days Transportation thinks students are out there, 9 p.m. until 3 a.m. One might think the Wolfprowl is only for students on campus, but Paylor pointed out that there is a reverse route that connects to Raleigh’s R line — also a free service — and Glenwood South. Hopefully I don’t have to remind you that downtown Raleigh has and will continue to have several arts and music festivals — many of them free — that can be accessed from the services. Drinking and partying present basic safety issues in and of themselves, but students must also take nighttime safety into account. Students who ride
the buses will not be put in a situation where they would have to drink and drive and the community would realize an increase in public safety. But if one did drive to Glenwood and was unable to drive back, the Wolfprowl is a significantly cheaper and safer option than calling a $50 taxi, relying on your passed out friend, or walking 5 miles back to campus. The bus has obvious safety credentials. It is well lit, spacious, relatively comfortable and has drivers employed by the University. T h e Wo l fprowl is also more compassionate than a designated driver when you go out. I often feel guilty that the designated driver has the burden for the night, or is having less of a time because we forced him or her to take the responsibility on a night that’s supposed to be a fun and carefree experience. The Wolfprowl means one less hassle and one less thing to worry about for everyone and eliminates the need for a designated driver. Frank ly, the Wolf prowl means students don’t have to worry about the cop cars

Birth of New Species Witnessed by Scientists
Scientists hope machine will prove existence of particles never seen before Jessica Neville Staff Writer
The largest particle accelerator in existence has been officially completed and is set to begin experiments on the smallest particles known to man according to CERN or European Organization for Nuclear Research. The accelerator, deemed the Large Hadron Collider, was initially completed and experiments began on Sept. 10, 2008 but suffered a major setback on Sept. 19 when a mechanical fault caused extensive damage that took a year to repair. CERN’s Web site explains that the LHC machine has the capability of smashing protons into each other at speeds close to the speed of light — as fast as physically possible. Buried in a circular tunnel 50 to 175 meters underground, the LHC is 27 kilometers in circumference. The machine straddles the borders of Switzerland and France. CERN’s Web site also talks about the Standard Model and that in particle physics it is a theory that describes the identity and interactions of fundamental particles in the universe. The only particle predicted by the Standard Model that

The mechanical fault that occurred on Sept. 19, 2008 was the result of an electrical failure, according to Schaefer.
“When you do something that’s never been done before, people will protest.”
Niels Bohr Institute physicist Holger Bech Nielson said he speculated that the Higgs boson could be “abhorrent to nature.” He said he hypothesized that the boson created in the future could ripple back through time to stop what created it in the first place. “It is ridiculous to think this machine is going to destroy the world, or that we shouldn’t have started the experiment in the first place,” Dave Fallest, a doctoral student in physics, said. Fallest said he believes the scientists will definitely find something to further the field of physics through the LHC. Likewise, Schaefer said he doesn’t take these theories very seriously. “When you do something that’s never been done before, people will protest,” Schaefer said. “The LHC will use levels of energy that to this point have not been explored, so you can never be completely sure of what will happen. The scientists are confident, however, that nothing bad will happen to the Earth.” The beams of particles that travel within the LHC are driven by a strong magnetic field composed of superconducting electromagnets according to Times magazine’s Web site. Anthony Allen, a junior in
physics, worked at the Fermilab in Illinois this summer producing magnets used in the LHC. Allen said most undergraduate physics students do not learn about concepts associated with the LHC because they are so complicated. “The LHC was built to test the fundamental principles of physics,” Allen said. “No one knows where mass comes from. And if the Higgs boson molecule is not proven to exist, the physics community will have to re-evaluate the entire Standard Model.” The LHC is set to begin experiments in late November, if everything goes as planned. The project has involved the collective efforts of over 40 countries and $10 billion in expenditures according to Times magazines online Web site. According to Schaefer, the only way the LHC can be unsuccessful is if nothing new is discovered. “I certainly hope we find something new through this machine,” Schaefer said. “With all the money and time that has been invested, it’s unlikely we will get another chance anytime soon if the LHC doesn’t work out.”

Where the wild things are Story By Caroline barfield | Illustrations By Lauren blakely & Ana Andruzzi
N
ot unlike Maurice Sendak’s childrens book, “Where the Wild Things Are,” which was recently adapted to screen, North Carolina also has an array of wild creatures. Because of the state’s geography and how it is divided up into three biomes — coastal, piedmont, and mountains — there are many different types of animals that inhabit the state.
Mountains
Piedmont
Coastal
In the mountains, the big animals come out. Red and gray wolves and black bears are on the prowl. Zack Whitley, a senior in mechanical engineering, said he was backpacking in the Smokies with some buddies, Adam Gibbs, senior in political science and Andy Lanier, senior in aerospace engineering, when they learned the secret to scaring off a bear. Whitley said a man who was also camping informed them that he had previously encountered a bear and had escaped. According to Whitley, the man told them he had just finished eating and was walking back when he saw a black bear about 50 feet away in the middle of the trail. The man said he raised his jacket above his head to make himself look bigger and sang the Star-Spangled Banner as loud as he could and the bear took off into the woods. Other animals to watch out for in the mountains are bobcats, chipmunks, red foxes and elk.
As the sea fades and grass and oaks become the locale, white-tailed deer and opossums appear. The eastern cottontail rabbit will bound while being chased by a gray or possibly even red fox and the white-footed mouse will scurry as the Eastern coral snake slithers after it. The American box turtle and the gray tree frog can be found by a pond or lake. Black bears have reemerged in the piedmont, as a bear was found in a local Greensboro neighborhood a month ago. Around rivers and dams are beavers, raccoons and crayfish. At night, barn owls swoop down for a midnight delight (poor field mouse).
Due to North Carolina’s unique terrain, some animals strictly inhabit certain areas, such as the coast. Feral horses roam freely on the dunes of the Outer Banks while black bears climb pine trees just 30 miles inland. Sea gulls, which were once only associated with the coast, flock all over the state. Farther down, near Ocean Isle and Sunset beach, beach-goers can see the American alligator sun bathing on the bank of a golf course pond. Fox squirrels, hardly disguised with their black and white faces, fly from tree to tree scouring over Spanish moss looking for chiggers to eat. A blue heron or a flock of egrets can be seen trailing the water canals nearby. In the ocean, off the coast of Beaufort lies the wreck of Queen Anne’s Revenge, the famous wreck of Black Beard the Pirate. The wreckage is now overrun with sea life, specifically tiger sharks and the seasonal loggerhead.

my head coach,” Anceravage said. “He was talking about how much he loves coaching. I told him if I had an assistant coaching job that could pay enough money for me to support myself, make my payments on my student loans and live reasonably comfortable, I think I’d take it. It would be something interesting and something I would be good at. He then told me that he had just got a call from the head coach at N.C. State looking for potential assistant coaches.” The rest was history. Anceravage quit J.P. Morgan and started working with the team in June. As a young coach right out of competitive wrestling, he brings a lot of new techniques to the team, according to redshirt senior Taylor Cummings. “It’s just awesome having someone here that knows what wrestling is like in Pennsylvania,” Cummings said. “He really adds a lot of structure to this team that we have needed in the past. He’s just fresh off competing so he’s very ambushing. You can just feel the energy.” Cummings and Anceravage have had a long history. They are from the same hometown, Bloomsburg, Pa., and the two wrestled at rival high schools. “I’ve known Taylor and his brother Garrett for as long as I can remember,” Anceravage

said. “We went to rival high schools, so I grew up with those two. The one thing I was worried about when I first got here was there had to be that line drawn, because we used to be buddies, but now I’m his coach too.” Anceravage said he has had to play the mean coach role in order to set the boundaries required for him to get the respect needed as a young coach. “That was the biggest battle I had when I first got here,” Anceravage said. “It may have been more in my head than with the guys, but I had to be kind of a mean coach at first. I had to draw that boundary because we are the same age. Now that I have that respect from these guys, I can relax

that boundary and become more personable.” Jordan said the transition from college wrestler to college coach is not something easily accomplished, but Anceravage has already made the evolution. “[The team] really respects him,” Jordan said. “He’s got ambition and goals far beyond assistant coach. He wants to get his MBA while he’s here and eventually be a head coach. You can tell right away if someone’s fit for that and he certainly is once he gets some experience.” Anceravage said he really enjoys staying within the wrestling world and not having to stay in competitive shape. “I’ve been enjoying my freedom, not having to make weight or be on a diet,” Anceravage said. “Yet I still get to go out on the mat everyday. I’m really enjoying being a coach.” With Darrion Caldwell out and Taylor Cummings the only senior in the lineup, the wrestling team has some challenges ahead of it. But Anceravage said he has high expectations for the young team. “I ex pect rea l ly big things,” Anceravage said. “The inexperience is the only thing I see holding us back. We have so much talent on this team it’s ridiculous.”

good as I had wanted to the last couple of races, so I knew I had to go in there and get it done.” With the race in less than a week, for all those that qualify, training will be rather relaxed up until the event. “All the hard work, high intensity, high mileage, high volume work up are behind us, so now we are trying to stay fresh and sharp,” Martinez said. “What we will do is shorter, quicker things. Just keeping fitness up, but nothing too tiring. We just ran a 10K and nationals is a 10K in less than 10 days.” For the participants, physical training is not the only aspect of preparation. Mental focus on the race is also important to performing well. As one of two qualifiers from the women’s team, Pritt says the main goal is to remain focused and calm and not let the fact it is nationals get to her head. When it comes time for the race, all the training and mental preparation is going to be key to the athlete‘s performance. “These athletes have committed themselves to this sport for the past several months, and from that they now have the opportunity to run in the national championships,” Geiger said. “If they are going to compete at such a high level of competition, they are expected to perform at a high level.”

Men’s finishes 2nd, qualifies for NCAA Championships and women’s finishes 3rd Samantha Collier Staff Writer
At Tom Sawyer Park in Louisville, Ky. Saturday, the men’s and women’s cross country teams competed and placed at the NCAA Southeast Cross Country Regional. The women placed third, behind Duke and Virginia, with William & Mary in fourth and North Carolina in fifth. The men placed second, behind William & Mary, automatically qualifying them for the NCAA Championships, to be held in Terre Haute, Ind. on Nov. 23. “This is one of the three goals we have each year for the program,” redshirt senior John Martinez said. “The first one is to win conference, second to qualify for nationals and third finish top ten at nationals.” In the men’s race, sophomore Ryan Hill led the Pack with a third place finish, with Martinez finishing 10th, sophomore Bobby Moldovan 15th and redshirt freshman Patrick Campbell 19th. The Pack finished

with a total of 99 points, behind William & Mary’s 49. “Four athletes finished in the top 19 and four athletes made all regions out of only 20 athletes and 35 programs, and we have four of the 20,” coach Rollie Geiger said. “I don’t think anyone else had more than two except William & Mary who had five. So two teams had almost half [the athletes who
finished in the top 20]. ” For the women’s team, a lack of experience in the race hurt them. Just shy of a guaranteed qualification, the women’s third place finish left it up to their season whether or not they got a bid. Based on their competition and performance, the women did not meet the qualifications. “Two true freshman were in
