Undergraduate researchers have their hard work recognized

Parking regulations pose conflicts between students and officials

Undergraduate students showcase their research projects at the 20th Annual Research Symposium.

Students and transportation officials have different opinions when it comes to on campus parking.

Allie Beckett Staff Writer

The Spring Undergraduate Research Symposium featured 217 research projects conducted by students and their mentors, ranging in topic from hard sciences to social sciences. George Barthalmus, director of undergraduate research, started the Office of Undergraduate Research in 2003. He said he believes undergraduate research is the best way for a student to gain valuable knowledge in their area of study. “Undergraduate research is con-

sidered a high impact educational tool,” Barthalmus said, “Every employer wants to see hands on experience in their field.” Whitney Lohmeyer, a senior in aerospace engineering, agreed with Barthalmus on the value of undergraduate research experience. Her two and a half year project working with Dr. DeJarnette, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, is focused on how engineers protect vehicles as they reenter the atmosphere. She received the NSF fellowship, which will help to fund her continued research and her pursuit of a master’s or doctoral degree. Lohmeyer also credits her research experience for her acceptance to MIT.

Due to a recent uprising in the amount of boots given to students’ cars around campus, students voice their opinion about parking on campus, parking violations, and parking passes. Curtis Edwards, a senior in parks, recreation and tourism management, said that he has had five parking violations since August, and that he parks both on and off campus. “On campus I usually park in spots near my classes and hope I don’t get ticketed. I don’t want to give away my off campus spots, but they are fairly close to class and I rarely have problems with authorities, but I know others that have in the same spots,” said Edwards. “If I don’t drive, I will ride my bike, but sometimes it’s hard to get up that extra 15 minutes earlier.” As for the violations themselves, Edwards said he finds them ridiculous. “I think they are pretty ridiculous, but at the same time it doesn’t dissuade me from taking my chances,” Edwards said. “I have just accepted that I’m going to get tickets if I park where I’m not supposed to, but if I can keep that cost under that of a permit in a year, in my mind it’s worth it.” Keli Johnson, a junior in psychology, said she’s only parked on campus during summer school and that she’s never had any violations. “[Parking on campus is] too strict because we are such a large campus,” said Johnson. “Because of all the students it’s not convenient for all of them to ride the bus or catch a ride, so they should make parking easier and more convenient.” Johnson said she drives to Food

Lion and catches the bus from there, but that it’s not the ideal situation. “It kind of sucks because you get out of class and you still have to wait to catch the bus,” said Johnson. As for improvements to campus parking, Johnson and Edwards both said they would like to see more available spots. Despite the popular student belief, “for a University of our size we offer more parking opportunities,” said

inspiration was a combination of transforming the worthless into the priceless. “The inspiration for my collection really started with the concept of a lucky penny. You know, the slogan ‘find a penny, pick it up, all day long you’ll have good luck.’ I was thinking that if a person used their penny to wish for glamour, beauty, and drama how would a penny achieve these traits? I decided to treat the pennies like jewels and embellishments,” Walker said. “After beginning the process the line really evolved into the juxtaposition between creating beauty, glamour, and high fashion out of something seemingly so worthless.” Overall, Istook said she was impressed the hard work of the designers, and also with the student turnout. “This was a pretty phenomenal show,” Istook said. “The designers really went all out with their creations.”

deck, and the Centennial Campus decks because they are the largest parking areas with the most spaces.” According to Watkins these are also the areas with the most car boots. Parking enforcers have also had to change laws regarding boots because of the amount of unpaid tickets. “If you have six tickets within six months you get booted, whether you’ve paid them or not.” Watkins said. Ronnie Wright, assistant di-

rector for finance, said this is to force compliance. Last year there were $527,399 dollars collected for parking violations, reported Wright. That still left $155,982 uncollected by December of 2010. The remaining 80 percent of collected violation money that doesn’t stay at NCSU, but goes elsewhere within the state. “On an annual biases about $100,000 dollars of it goes to us. Twenty percent of the fines for collection costs, which doesn’t cover it,” said Wright.

Why did you attend Art To Wear? What are your expectations for Art To Wear?

by Brent Kitchen and Abby Miller “I came because my a lot of my friends were coming. I also wanted to see the student designs - it’s like a real fashion show. I’ve set pretty high expectations since it is the 10th anniversary. I’m sure there are some amazing designers.” Cassie Ehreaboch junior, psychology

“I have a friend walking in the show. I expect it to be pretty awesome. This was my first opportunity to come, so I’m excited.” Tiffany Terrell, junior, education (LTN) “I really love fashion and I wanted to see the local talent. I came to support the designers. I’m looking forward to it. This is my first time to Art To Wear, so I’m really excited. I can’t wait to see the talent.” Joshua Skeeter sophomore, mathematical education

In an effort to complement Agriculture Awareness Week, today will be the first, hopefully annual, Life Sciences Day. According to Jonathon Phillips, an agriculture and resource economics professor and one of the faculty members helping organize the event, the idea came about as a need for equality among clubs in CALS. There will be a variety of events and booths set up on the Brickyard. “There was a kind of feeling that the life sciences might not have been as recognized in CALS and we wanted to make sure that they were recognized for the great things they do,” Phillips said. Although the first year will likely be small, the organizers hope the event will grow. Kristopher Stuart, a senior in biochemistry, has helped organize the event, according to Phillips. “Kris took the bull by the horns and really ran with it,” Phillips said. “He’s been the main driving force behind keeping this running.” Stuart said he thought the idea was a good one, so he decided to help plan out. “I thought it was a good

{OUR VIEW}

Homelessness is a condition, not a crime A

THE FACTS:

Park Scholars have teamed up with organizations in Raleigh to sponsor a food drive. However, in this food drive participants are able to create sculptures out of the donations raised.

OUR OPINION:

The issue of homelessness is very evident in Raleigh. As N.C. State students, we live in the heart of the issue—downtown Raleigh. Because of our proximity, we should reach out to our community to help those in need. With the Canned Creations food drive we are able to do just that.

{

ccording to Raleigh and Wake County Homeless Service Agencies, approximately 78,000 are living in poverty in the Wake County area, many being close to homelessness. In Technician’s article on the food drive Tuesday, Alyssa D’Addezio claimed “there are 1,100 people homeless every night in Raleigh alone.” At N.C. State, we are so close to this issue and have the potential to make a huge impact. The first step is participating in food drives and gaining the appropriate knowledge to spread awareness of the issue. We are able to do just that with the Park Scholars’ Canned Creations food drive this month. The Raleigh Rescue organization names the most frequent factors contributing to homelessness as mental illness with-

CAMPUS FORUM

Response to ‘Planned Parenthood under fire’ In reading Ms. Shah’s article, I felt that there was some bias against certain political parties and I would like to offer another possible reason that Congress is looking at cutting funding that is not politically biased. The U.S. Constitution doesn’t specifically list organizations such as Planned Parenthood as the responsibility of the federal government. These organizations fall into the Tenth Amendment, which gives the states the power that is not directly specified for the federal government. Therefore Planned Parenthood shouldn’t receive federal funding under the Constitution. Rather, funding is left to the states or private individuals. Federal funding for Planned Parenthood may be viewed as unconstitutional by members of Congress, and that could be why they are being targeted instead of defense spending. Nathanael Morgan sophomore, biomedical engineering

People have become too dependent I read your article regarding the spending cuts and Planned Parenthood. I agree with your points about Planned Parenthood providing health services such as STD testing, diabetes testing, etc. and that they are beneficial to many women, but I think it is unfair for all taxpayers to pay the bill on these services or even part of them. People have become too dependent on the government. This attitude of entitlement from the government is what got us so far into debt in the first place. When social programs are subsidized to serve specific groups of people, everyone has to pay the price. The sad thing is that we can’t even solve the budget deficit by raising taxes, because they are already extremely high. In order to balance the budget, we will need to cut spending wherever possible and lower marginal tax rates to spur economic growth. We, as students, will bear the burden of these programs when we soon enter the workforce and make a substantial income. Justin Abernethy senior, business administration

Federal funding of abortion through Planned Parenthood Thomas Borden Ms. Shah’s column on Planned Parenthood misses the mark on the recent funding battle.

out necessary medical services, lack of affordable housing, substance abuse, low-paying jobs, domestic events, prisoner re-entry, unemployment and poverty. These factors can be seen on the streets of downtown Raleigh. However, many times this issue is ignored by students. The common thought towards homelessness is that those who are experiencing it lack the necessary ambition to get back on their feet. However, many people who suffer from this misfortune are merely hitting a rough patch in their lives. The even more saddening reality is the reasoning behind why many do not help these people out.

Many believe if they lend a hand it will only enable the habits that landed the homeless in that position to begin with. In most cases, this could not be further from the truth. What happened to the Golden Rule: treating others the way you would want to be treated? N.C. State Park Scholars have created a way to get students and the public involved in the issue in an enjoyable way, while also making a difference in the Raleigh area. The Canned Creations food drive is currently in its first phase of collecting donations of canned food, and by this Saturday students and citizens of Raleigh can come out to Harris Field and create artwork from the collected do-

nations. Students are encouraged to donate canned food or nonperishable items. We should not only support the Park Scholar’s programs and their efforts to combat the issue, but we should be standing right beside them to make a difference in our community. It is important for students to take an interest in our community and the issues it faces; by participating in the food-drive we are able to do just that. Homelessness is a condition, not a crime. Too many times society has looked at these people as criminals deserving to be homeless—however, they are people and citizens of our community. It is important we show our support and team up with the Park Scholars to combat this issue in our own community.

I understand and appreciate many of the services Planned Parenthood provides, such as cancer screening and STD treatments. Republicans have attempted to defund Planned Parenthood due to its decision to provide abortions. It is at best misinformed and at worst, dishonest to claim it is somehow a general assault on health care for women. For those of us who are pro-life, of course we do not excuse Planned Parenthood for performing millions of abortions, because they also provide women other health care services. Making abortion an issue of women’s health has been frequently used as a straw man to attack the pro-life movement. For anyone who believes that life begins at conception, there is no issue of choice because no one would think it was acceptable to kill an innocent child. Some would describe the way in which I frame the issue incorrect, because the Hyde Amendment prohibits federal funding of abortions or abortion services. Unfortunately, the reality is that anything that is”keeping the lights on” at Planned Parenthood is supporting abortions. As for the financial necessity of cutting funding to balance the budget, I would agree the approximately $350 million they receive annually is only a drop in the bucket. In fact, as the American Civil Liberties Union so callously points out, funding abortions would not cost taxpayers money because of “the costs associated with childbirth, neonatal and pediatric care greatly exceed the costs of abortion.” Thomas Borden senior, civil engineering

Some feel College Cup is a great new tradition

his past weekend, dozens of students from the different colleges joined Student G over n ment, C a mpu s Recreation, Scott Chancellor Woodson Moore Guest Column and Dr. Stafford in the first ever College Cup. This was an event created in response to the growing gap between the colleges and the campuses, a concern brought up by the student body. What better way to begin the conversation of campus unity and inclusion than by having students who have never met before come together in a day of competition and fun? One of Student Government’s jobs is to foster communication among students, administrators and leaders. This is a very daunting task that many organizations must tackle in order to have a successful environment for students to live in. The best place to look at how to communicate with others is by looking in the family living room. On Wednesday night, when the plates are cleared and leftovers put away, how do a lot of families interact? By surrounding a monopoly

board, playing checkers or going out to play putt-putt. The College Cup is a new way for students to interact, communicate with each other and communicate with their student leaders and administrators. When giving a speech at the awards ceremony, Chancellor Woodson said it best, “Sometimes, we act like a bunch of colleges joined together by a basketball team.” And he is right. It is important that we take our school spirit outside of the stadiums and RBC Center and remind everyone that we are one Wolfpack nation. Sure the colleges were competing against each other, but there has to be some way of organizing teams and representatives of the University as a whole. Otherwise, you won’t get such a diverse group. From the surveys passed out and collected from the participants, many of them had a lot of fun and also had the chance to interact with others they’d never met before, one of our goals for the event. The participants gave very constructive feedback; including asking planners for next year to advertise more, organize better, and have less down time, which I think is completely fair seeing as we should have advertised earlier in the year. These criticisms were completely war-

ranted and will help us plan for next year. While things didn’t go perfectly, most participants commented that this was a great first effort of such an event. Furthermore, participants praised the premise behind the competition saying, “I had the chance to meet new people, compete and have fun.” The participants also had the chance to speak and interact with the chancellor and Dr. Stafford, which we felt was extremely important in beginning the dialog between students and administrators. At the end of the day, I feel we reached our goal to interact and communicate with students who have most likely never seen their Student Government representatives or major administrators before. If Student Government’s job is to foster communication between the student body, ourselves and administration, why not have some fun along the way? Life’s too short not to. We are one Wolfpack family, so let’s come together like one and take what the day gives us. Send Scott your thoughts on College Cup to letters@ technicianonline.com.

Panda Bear releases ‘emotive’ album

PICK

OF THE WEEK

Tomboy Panda Bear Paw Tracks

Mason Morris WKNC DJ

Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavilion was the apogee of 2009 music. The first time I heard the album, I was filled with absolute intrigue — complex and subtle melodies evolved from thin, scaly, harsh textures in unexpectedly delightful ways. I was carried to heights I didn’t before know existed. The music was horrifying, yet it was wondrous, much like the first time I witnessed an eclipse or experienced a roller coaster. Its mystique drew me in and captured my attention in an unusual way. I didn’t know how to approach the organized sea of harmonies, but I sat with my earbuds tightly in and listened. For the first time in years, modern music had me captivated. Today, I attribute Animal Collective with having turned my musical perception inside-out. Noah Lennox sings vocals for

Animal Collective and plays drums and guitar for the band as well. Yesterday marked the release of his fourth solo album Tomboy, much anticipated since its titular single dropped in the middle of 2010. Previous releases by the artist who goes by the moniker of Panda Bear spanned into the deeply abstract as scarcelychanging tones droned on for minutes. However, Tomboy is an interesting change in pace as what is easily his most accessible album release yet. Stylistically, it mirrors Animal Collective’s 2009 release in its patterned intricacies. Sound fills every track’s crevices, expanding to include percussive beats and crunches. The experience is practically religious, though in his April 4 interview with music journalism website Pitchfork, he hesitates to let it be labeled as such. “It’s not serious in a heavyhanded way — and I really hesitate to say it has any sort of religious or sacred feeling — but it’s in that direction to me,” Lennox told the website. He continued to describe the conditions of the recording studio — dimly lit, uncomfortable, isolated and in a basement in Lisbon. Despite its studio recording

setting, this album is anything but claustrophobic. In “Slow Motion,” depth is portrayed with every reverberating beat. This piece is the impressionism of modern music; every meticulously placed, painstakingly perfected stroke of tone is visible under the microscope and up for interpretation. The listener is likely to get lost while attempting to sift through the multitude of layers. “Alsatian Darn” plays with vocal inf lections. Lennox himself fades into his music, becoming another instrument in the mixture. “Say, can I make a bad mistake? Say what it is I want to say to you, say what...” These lyrics loop into a cyclone of emotional confusion and somehow, the line between the listener’s psych and that of the creator fades into obscurity. Tomboy is Panda Bear’s most recent release and one of the most emotive albums that this reviewer has ever heard. It’s mastery of riveting textures is matched by the unique mood it creates. It is the perfect example of this generation’s innovations in genres, and every listen-through is guaranteed to uncover previously overlooked details.

Hospital for Small Animals keep pets in good hands The facility is open year-round to provide specialized care for small animals such as cats and dogs. Ken Cheng Staff Writer

Dow n H i l l sborou g h Street near Blue Ridge Road is one of the University’s best-kept secrets. The Hospital for Small Animals at the College of Veterinary Medicine is not just a run-of-the-mill vet clinic that treats the average canine tummy ache or feline broken femur. Instead, the hospital is a state-of-the-art center that can perform even the most complex surgeries and procedures. “Every specialty you can think of, we can do it,” Dr. Steve Marks, a clinical associate professor in Critical Care and Internal Medicine, said. “We can treat cancer with radiation therapy. We can do MRIs. Just recently we fitted a prosthetic leg on a dog.” A specialized hospital requires a very attentive staff, and the Small Animals Hospital maintains strict criteria for what it takes to work with them. Along with good grades, GRE scores and experience, potential staff members are also required to have good team work ability and communication skills. “We are held to higher standards,” Dr. Marks said, “because not only do we have to explain to the clients the procedures that their pets need, but we also must tell them how much it will cost them, as most of our clients pay out of pocket.” The Emergency and Critical Care Department comprises the ICU unit and the Small Animal Emergency and Triage Service. “The ICU and the Small Animal Emergency and Triage Ser vice operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and are staffed by emergency care clinicians and technicians trained to handle critically ill or injured patients, as well as general small animal emergencies,” according to Dave Green, the director of communications for the College of Veterinary Medicine. Students who work at the hospital are usually senior veterinary students who have spent four years in undergraduate school and four years in veterinary school. Doctors are either firstyear interns or residency doctors who have been working for at least 3 years. Even undergraduate studies can prove to be very specific for those interested in the

The Garage sparks innovation on Centennial The Garage attracts innovators wishing to brainstorm and share their ideas. Kellie Crook Correspondent

Recently, N.C. State’s campus has seen a lot of entrepreneurial movement. The Engineering Entrepreneurship Program, Entrepreneurship Initiative and The Garage have all been part of this movement. The Garage was the brainchild of Tom Miller, director of the EI, who continues to work with a number of faculty, staff and students. The name, “The Garage,” came from Steve Walsh, director of the EEP. EI and Red Hat sponsored the 2,000 square foot facility; EI, via the University, found space, while Red Hat supplied the necessary equipment. The Garage is located in the basement of Research IV on Centennial Campus and is open 24/7 to those innovators that need a place to work, or just share their ideas. Andrew Misenheimer, a graduate student in electrical engineering, said, “[The Garage] is a great community. The people are really passionate about what they are doing

ship on campus, Misenheimer and are a great resource.” Misenheimer added that The responded, “It’s really exciting.

to the future of entrepreneurship on campus, with the help of The Garage. “The entrepreneurial movement on campus is still at its fledgling stage. With increased awareness leading to more student involvement, we can really change the culture on campus,” Hollar said. “It is a great culture of innovation now, but we have the ability to put that in highgear. I believe The Garage will be a great catalyst for that.”

866.282.4648

The Garage is currently in Phase 1 of two phases. Phase 2 of The Garage is set for completion by August 2014, located in the center of the Entrepreneur’s Village, which will include The Garage and residences. Phase 2 Garage will be 20,000 square feet with work, break, conference and presentation rooms. The Garage, in both phases, is meant to promote student entrepreneurship and multidisciplinary collabora-

tion, according to Hollar. As students become more aware of the resources available to them, there is hope that N.C. State’s campus will become a leader in innovative entrepreneurial programs. “A big aspect relates to people realizing that there is no limit to what they can do,” Hollar said. “Nothing is impossible.”

N.C. State looking to change fortune against Pirates After dropping the series to UNC, the Pack is looking to go one up against ECU. Jeniece Jamison Senior Staff Writer

The Wolfpack is looking to get back on track after dropping its series against rival North Carolina against another in-state rival, the East Carolina Pirates. The series against ECU began in 2005 and the all-time series record is tied at 5-5. East Carolina has won the last five meetings between the two teams. ECU will also be anxious to get off the losing side. They lost their last series to Conference USA opponent Central Florida 1-2, but they won the last game of the series in a 1-0 pitching duel. This next game also has ex-

tra implications for ECU senior Toni Paisley. In the Pirates last win against UCF, Paisley tied the Conference USA career wins record with DePaul’s Lindsay Chounard in 2003 at 108 wins. Paisley also leads the country in solo shutouts this season with 13 on the year. But Paisley isn’t the only ace taking the mound for this series. N.C. State freshman Kayla Cox has also been making waves in the ACC and will be an individual that the Pirates will need to plan for. Cox is currently 3rd in the ACC in strikeouts at 174 and caught 34 of her strikeout victims looking, which is tied for 5th in the conference. Despite all of these leading stats, Cox is making waves in the most important statistical category with nine wins on the season, which is 10th in the ACC. Cox will need to bounce back

from her lackluster performance against the Tar Heels to be successful in the next rivalry series. She took the mound in the final game of the series and allowed six runs in five full innings, but she also struck out six batters during her stint before being relieved by junior pitcher Morgan Peeler. State will also need to bring the offensive firepower to the plate. Senior catcher Alyssa Allbritten has been anchoring the Wolfpack offense for the season, ranking 10th in the ACC in bating average at .351 and tied for 8th in hits with 40. Cox said she and the Pack are excited for the contest. “We’re all really excited about the ECU series,” Cox said. “It’s a rivalry game so we’ll all be pumped up and ready to go come gametime.” According to Allbritten, even a non-conference game will be

seen as a pivotal one for the season and getting back on track to finish out the season strong. “Anytime we can get a good win over an opponent, no matter who it is, will be great for the team,” Allbritten said. “I think we started off great, but we began to regress. But we’re starting to get back to where we were and that’s very important at this point in the season.” Allbritten was also one State’s most productive player in the previous series against Carolina. She went two for three off of two singles in the second game of the series. A win for the Wolfpack in this series would serve as a great launching pad as the season is winding down and the Pack looks towards finishing conference play.

due to the different level of strain relief pitching puts on the arm. “It was a rough transition. I had dead arm the first couple of weeks from throwing every other day,” Thomas said. “But you just have to build your body up and get used to it.” So far this season, Sasser and

Williams have dominated out of the bullpen and currently sport the team’s top-two ERAs at 1.29 and 2.10, respectively. With the Pack (18-15 overall, 5-10 ACC) offense struggling to find its stride and suspect starting pitching, an emphasis is on the bullpen to close out games when the Pack gets a

lead. State returns to the diamond today as it hosts the UNCW Seahawks at 3 p.m. in the 76th meeting between the two schools.

He’s had the opportunity to take someone almost every year, including one of last year’s top performers and recent graduate, Taylor Seamen. “I just want Stephanie to go into the weekend doing and do what she has done all year,” said Stevenson. “She has four opportunities to post a good routine score. If she does well she has a spot to move on. And further opportunities include titles such as being an All-American, like Taylor had been.” Her performance since the beginning of the season has gotten better according to her coaches, and she shows it across the scoreboard.

year takes time and practice, which coach Stevenson along with the rest of the coaches have had the opportunity to help. “She has done well at every single meet,” Stevenson said. “She only recorded four total falls out of 48 routines. She did everything the way we asked her too. I would say that her biggest improve has been her form. Her legs are straighter and toes are more curved. She came in and has done a great job with the routines.” As for the rest of the gymnastics team, the season ended after the NCAA Regionals held two weeks ago. The team will soon be transitioning into off-season as they prepare for next year. Coach Stevenson has continued to do well for the Wolfpack gymnasts as he finishes his 31st season at State. “I think next season will be an even better one than this year,” said Ouellette. “And it will keep getting better, as new girls come on to the team. This season was different than years before, due to some changes in rotations, but still very enjoyable.”

Greene sidelined for spring

Moxley a candidate for Pack Robert Moxley, an assistant basketball coach at Middle Tennessee State University, is being reported as a top candidate for the same position at N.C. State. Moxley was an associate head coach at UNC-Charlotte with Orlando Early, who has already been hired by coach Mark Gottfried. In 2007, rivals.com ranked Moxley as one of the Top 25 recruiters in the country, and in 2008, HoopScooponline.com ranked Moxley 44th among the nation’s top 100 assistant coaches.

Wilson excels against West Virginia Former Wolfpack standout in football and baseball, Russell Wilson, had a breakout game yesterday for the Asheville Tourists, the minor league affiliate of the Colorado Rockies. Wilson has only compiled a .200 batting average to this point, but finished 2-4 in Tuesday’s game against the West Virginia Power for his second and third hits on the early season. Wilson helped the Pack dismantle the WVU Mountaineers in December to win the Champs Sports Bowl, and seems to be on the right track after facing yet another West Virginia team.

Head football coach Tom O’Brien announced Tuesday that sophomore running back Mustafa Greene will miss the rest of spring practice and the 3rd annual Kay Yow spring football game due to a foot injury that will require surgery. O’Brien would not say what exactly happened to cause the injury, but only said he would not be back until the regular season. “Mustafa [Greene] will have surgery sometime this week,” said O’Brien. “He’s got a foot injury. Whenever he has surgery he’ll be back in the fall.” Greene is penciled in as the number one running back on the team’s depth chart after a brilliant freshman season in which he rushed for 618 yards, caught 30 passes and scored a combined seven touchdowns through the air and on the ground. But with the Greene in-

jury, redshirt junior running back Brandon Barnes will have the opportunity to showcase his talents in the upcoming spring game. “When it comes to team sports, whenever the man in front of you goes down, you have to be ready to take advantage of the opportunity,” Barnes said. “So that is what I am doing right now, trying to take advantage of my opportunity and get the best out of it.” Since arriving in Raleigh three seasons ago, Barnes has had trouble getting on the field. In his freshman season he redshirted the entire year. In the following season, he still struggled to get on the field, backing up Toney Baker and Jamelle Eugene and managing only 79 yards in three games. And then last season, Barnes suffered an injury in the spring that held him out of the entire season last year. “It has been real hard,” Barnes said. “I love football and I haven’t really haven’t had a chance to play since I have been here, so this will be a great opportunity for me to play this year.” A year after his injury, Barnes is finally healthy and out to show he can be a solid contributor to the Wolfpack offense. “He is getting a little better,” O’Brien said. “He is chipping

This weekend freshman gymnast Stephanie Ouellette will be traveling to Cleveland, Ohio with her coaches to compete in the NCAA Nationals. It is a first-time experience for the freshman, also making her the youngest competitor to represent N.C. State since 1993. Ouellette is making her first year at State a memorable one. The First Year College freshman has been one of the more outstanding newcomers to head coach Mark Stevenson’s squad. He is glad to have the opportunity to train Ouellette. “I thought she did a great job her first year,” said Stevenson. “She has been trained extremely well in her past. Her and Rachel Fincham come from the same club, Docksider’s Gymnastics, and they are known to train their kids to do well.” Ouellette is a native of Columbia, Maryland. She competed Elite from 20052007 w ith Docksider’s Gymnastics and qualified to represent Region 7 on its national teams during five out of seven years. She was also a Region 7 all-around champion in 2008. “It was different transitioning from high school to college level gymnastics,” said Ouellette. “I have expe-

As for my first year I think it went well for me, and I hope to continue like this.” Ouellette secured her bid to the NCAA Nationals when she competed at Regionals in Athens, Ga. on August 2nd. She is the youngest person to compete at Nationals since Christi Newton in 1993. Ouellette qualified for the NCAA Championship as an individual, scoring a 38.950 to garner a sixth place

EARTH DAY 2011

Sunf lower seeds, sunglasses and uncertainty— welcome to the life of a relief pitcher. Unlike starters, relievers have no idea when they will enter a game. Better yet, they don’t even know if they will enter a particular game. The uncertainty that surrounds relief pitchers is what makes them a special breed, even though one glance towards State’s bullpen may reveal a state of relaxation rivaled only by fans attending the game. “A lot of position players give us a hard time and say we don’t do as much and all we do is help set up batting practice,” freshman lefthander D.J. Thomas said. “But you never know when you’re going to get in the game, so you just have to stay prepared.” Despite what it may look like on the surface, Pack relievers are constantly on the edge of their toes. Around the fourth inning, relievers will move from the dugout to the bullpen, where stretching takes place before relievers start warming up. “We spend a lot of time stretching and doing band work,” junior lefthander Grant Sasser said. “As a relief pitcher, you don’t know when you’re going to throw so you have to keep your arm conditioned. We try to throw every day or every other day at least.”

To avoid tired arms, only a certain number of relief pitchers are available for the Pack, depending on whether someone threw multiple innings the day before or has an upcoming scheduled start. “There’s usually a hot list posted at the beginning of the game so we know who’s available to pitch that day,” Thomas said. The hot list usually contains half of the Pack bullpen, but can change depending on the circumstances such as an extra-inning game. Perhaps the most important aspect to the success of a relief pitcher is warming up. Pack relievers said the ideal pitch count before entering the game is between 15 and 20 pitches, but junior righthander Vance Williams said it is essential to stay loose in case a quick pitching change is needed. “You have to stretch periodically whether you’re going to be called or not,” Williams said. “Sometimes you have plenty of time to get ready but other times you might only have eight or 10 pitches to get warm. It just depends on the situation.” As the weather warms, relievers naturally require less time to get warmed up compared to the frigid conditions the team played in to begin the season. But Sasser admitted that throwing the ideal 15-20 pitches improves performance on the mound. “Later in the year when it gets hotter, guys can get ready in seven to 10 pitches,” Sasser said. “I think all of us would agree though, the more you get to throw [in the bullpen], the better you’re going to pitch.” For Thomas, who is only one
