Talley yet to receive donations Joshua Chappell Senior Staff Writer

The secondary source of funding for the Talley project, besides from students, is from private donations. However, no donations have actually been collected yet. Ground was broken on the construction site of the new student center earlier this year. The project has a price tag of $120 million, according to Dan Adams, associate vice chancellor for Campus Enterprises. It is expected to open in the fall of 2014. Students – some of whom will not benefit directly from the project – will be the biggest monetary contributors to the project. Patrick Devore, a senior in meteorology, is the chair of the Student Senate Tuition and Fees committee. He said students will pay $5.3 million this year, which comes out to $185 per fulltime student. “That fee will go up to $275 [per student] next year and stay at $290 the

following year for at least the next 22 years,” Devore said. This means if enrollment were to remain static at 28,000 fee-paying students, which is the basis on which the Budget Office currently makes its calculations, students will collectively pay more than $8.4 million every year for more than two decades. Devore also said the $120 million price tag does not include interest accrued between now and the time the debt service fee is rolled off. According to Jonathon Smith, a junior in agricultural education and president of the Student Center Board of Directors, the project could not be funded without student fees. “The state of North Carolina does not fund student-life buildings such as student centers,” Smith said. “Without student fees, there would be no project.” Organizers have made strides toward setting up a method by which donations can be collected. “Our fundraising efforts will begin immediately following the development of several tools, including the design of a donor brochure, several

drawings of the future Talley and a the project,” Randall said. Smith said this is a crucial time video walk-through of the completed in the fundraising effort for the building,” Adams said.

Students spend smart at State Fair Students are trying to spend less at the state fair this year. Elise Heglar Deputy News Editor

The North Carolina State Fair opened for business Thursday, bringing people from all over the state to spend on entertainment in a tight economy. This year, students want to take a more practical approach to their spending at the fair. Stephanie Presley, a sophomore in chemical engineering, said food and rides at the fair tend to be extremely overpriced. “Everything at the fair is definitely way overpriced, but people keep buying it every year anyway so there is no reason for them not to make it all overpriced,” Presley said. Paul Jones, the public information officer for the fair, does not think ticket prices should be a problem. Currently, it costs $8 for an entrance ticket. “Gate admission is fairly affordable;

Former student bites back at administration Former student sends heated emails to University leaders. Caroline Gallagher Staff Writer

Former ASG President Andrew Payne sent emails containing harsh language to high ranking administrators and student leaders regarding a title change within upper administration. This position change is connected with the realignment of the Office of the Provost as initiated by Chancellor Randy Woodson. As has been publicly announced, plans have been made to merge the Division of Student Affairs with the Division of Undergraduate Academic Programs, and the vice chancellor of Student Affairs position will be changed to senior vice Provost for Student Services and dean of Undergraduate Programs. However, Payne has expressed deep concern over the position change through the form of strongly worded emails to Woodson and Arden. In their email correspondence, Payne originally contacted Arden requesting a position on the search committee for candidates for the vice chancellor of Students Affairs replacement. In his response, Arden pointed out the new position would be titled “Senior vice provost for Student Services and dean of Undergraduate Programs,” initiating Payne’s concern in the reorganization of the position. Payne retorted with strong opposition. “This is unacceptable. N.C. State will have a vice chancellor of Student Affairs. This is not up for discussion. I will fight you on this to the Board of Governors,” Payne wrote in an email to Arden. Payne further pursued his argument to Woodson, threatening to organize students, faculty and alumni against him if the change takes place. “I will organize the faculty against you. I will organize the staff against you. I will organize the alumni against you. But most importantly – I will organize the students against you,” Payne said in an email to Woodson. Payne copied several student leaders on his email correspondence with both the chancellor and the provost, including Student Body President Chandler Thompson. Thompson is a member of the implementation team responsible for searching for replacement candidates, and is confident about the changes. She outlined the most important factors that must remain unchanged. “The new [senior vice provost] and dean needs to be an executive officer that attends the chancellor’s staff meetings as the student advocate. It is also important that the new leader of this division have Student Affairs experience, as well as an Academic background,” Thompson said.

for students. Some new exhibits, such as Cultivate a Career, have been added this year. Cultivate showcases careers in agriculture. “It highlights agricultural careers that people may not know about. It’s a pretty interesting booth that’s set up,” Jones said. New food and rides have also been added to the fair this year.

Trooper Victor Lee directs traffic outside the annual North Carolina State Fair Thursday. Though traffic wasn’t bad on the first day of the fair, Lee expects it to get worse as the weekend draws near.

Patrolmen stomp the fairgrounds The N.C. Highway Patrol prevented major traffic and pedestrian accidents at fair opening. John Wall News Editor

Out in force, the N.C. Highway Patrol was scouring roads surrounding the state fair on its opening night. Patrolmen wrangled pedestrians across busy intersections, and no traffic accidents were reported. Dressed in full regalia, officers were on every corner of major intersections and strategically placed to create crosswalks between gates and parking lots. The highway patrol monitors all activity outside gates, namely traffic and pedestrians, while the Wake County Sheriff’s Department monitors action within gates. “As usual, we have posts set up all around the event,” Trooper Eric Naylor said. There are fewer troopers this year than last, according to Naylor. “We have a few less this year as far as traffic enforcement. We have eliminated a few posts, so we need less officers,” Naylor said. The Wake County EMS has responded to minor injuries, such as scraped knees, but nothing traffic related, according to paramedic Emily Owens. She has worked at the fair for about the past five years. “I haven’t responded to any serious traffic accidents over the years,” Owens said. “When it rains, like it was earlier today, that can get worse. It gets slick, and people don’t really pay attention because they are looking for a place to park.”

of the project. “Our [current] student center was originally named the University Student Center upon its opening in 1972 and was renamed the Talley Student Center in 1998,” Randall said. Complaints have arisen from students who are dissatisfied with paying for something from which they will never directly benefit, but Jennifer Gilmore, director of market-

Thursday was a slow day, Owens said. David Sasser of Western Wake Fire Rescue was stationed just inside Gate 11. His agency handles fire emergencies within the confines of the fair, but he and his colleagues work with the highway patrol. “The highway patrol has a plan that they put together, and [they handle traffic] very effectively,” Sasser said. Sasser outlined common problems attendees run into. “People, as a general rule, are looking at the lights and are trying to figure out where to park. They aren’t paying attention to other vehicles or people crossing the street. They aren’t paying attention to troopers in the road. It’s a dangerous situation out here,” Sasser said. The highway patrol works the fair from beginning to end. Sasser cautioned that by the end, troopers are worn out and attendees should do what they say and not get in their way. “By the end of the fair, I would not mess with any trooper around here; they are ill as hornets,” Sasser said. Joe Speranza, a senior in history education, paid $10 to park right across the street from the fairgrounds. “It only took us about 10 minutes to get here from Hillsborough Street. Traffic was nothing out of the ordinary,” Speranza said. Since it was the first night, Speranza said patrolmen have not had to take much initiative to control a situation that will surely get worse. “I don’t think they have had to work too hard yet. It’s only the first night, and [Friday] night and Saturday night will be much worse,” Speranza said.

The merger of these divisions, resulting in the change in the position, was also in part created as Tom Stafford, vice chancellor of Student Affairs, has made plans to retire by the end of

ter,” Gilmore said. “Without these fees, the University cannot keep the campus current.” Michael Atkins, a junior in political science, said he is in favor of the student fees for the project, as long as students are made aware exactly how the funds are being used. “The fees are reasonable for the size and scale of the project,” Atkins said. “Having been a freshman during the Rally for Talley initiative, I can say that students were not made aware of what exactly the project would entail. I’m sure students

go around the wheel. “It’s a refurbished ride from the ‘60s. It’s a two-seater, and you can do barrel rolls while you go around,” Jones said. Creating the fair is a year long process.

the Spring 2012 semester. Arden assured the person hired for the position will remain an executive officer, and the search committee will work hard to find the best match for the position. “The reality is that we are going to be doing a national search for this position. We are going to go out hard to bring in the best person in the country that we can find to lead this division. They will still sit on the executive officer’s group, alongside me and the chancellor. They will sit also on the

Council of Deans. They will be one of our leadership people in the institution, and we’re all very excited about this,” Arden said. Arden recognized Payne’s focus on the title chance and reinforced that the ultimate goal of the change, which has been in planning for many months, is to maximize student success. “I know that Mr. Payne is passionate about this issue,” Arden said. “I think what’s unfortunate [about] all of this is that there’s way too much focus on what title a given individual

has. At the end of the day, what really is important is that we design a division and we design programs that have maximal impact on student success.” Arden also pointed out that Stafford is involved in the process and supports the change. “Dr. Stafford has been integrally involved in all of this planning and is playing a leadership role in this transition and is being extraordinarily supportive of these changes,” Arden said.

would support the project more if they felt an adequate amount of information had been provided to them.” Atkins also brought up a controversial issue from the Rally for Talley initiative: the student body vote on the project. “The student body voted no to the renovations, but for some reason the vote within Student Senate did not reflect this, which points to some major flaws in the type of representation that students are receiving,” Atkins said. Atkins also said while he agrees investments must be made in the future of the University, he does not think the

University is investing correctly. “A new Talley will benefit future students, but using these fees for the development of academic support and programs is more important and will benefit the students today and tomorrow,” Atkins said. Stuart Bumgarner, a sophomore in zoology, said he believes the amount of money spent on the project is justified as long as it produces a better atmosphere on campus. “Certain University policies have turned N.C. State into a commuter campus,” Bumgarner said. “The University needs to do far more to encourage a

sense of community here. If the new Talley Student Center does not foster this idea through new programs, venues and opportunities, it will have been a profound waste of money.” Randall said she hopes the project will turn into a catalyst for student life on campus. “[The new student center] will be a place that students visit on a regular basis,” Randall said. “This is a place that is all about our students.” This quality, according to Randall, will be the appealing factor to donors.

{Our view}

Senate should stick to campus matters W

The Facts:

Student Senate is in the process of approving the NC Equality Act, this Wednesday, which would issue a stance opposing SB 514.

Our Opinion:

Whether the entire student body agrees or disagrees with this bill, it is not the Student Senate’s place to issue a generalized political stance of the University.

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.

hile the intended actions of the Student Senate are of good intent, they will be setting an unwanted precedent of having the University take a stance on political issues. Student Government is in place to govern student-related issues on campus, not to address a political issue on behalf of the student population. As stated in the Senate’s “summary of purpose,” the N.C. Equality Act is “to publicly support all N.C. State students while discrimination is proposed to be written in our state Constitution.” While Student Government is the governing body of N.C. State, they should

not take a political stance on state and national issues for the entire student body. This amendment has been on many students’ minds, as well as in our state’s political arena. It is not the Student Senate’s job to force a stance of a certain group on the entire student body. Because of this, the bill goes against its original intentions of encouraging diversity of points of view throughout our state. While SB 514 is a politically straining issue for our state, it

is not the Student Senate’s responsibility to act as the surrogate opinion for the student body. If an individual does not approve of the amendment and would like to take action, it is the individual’s responsibility—not Student Senate’s. If Student Senate cares to get involved in this political matter, they should do it locally. They should create events with the support of other student organizations to spread awareness about the issue on campus. This type of action would en-

gage students on campus who would want to be involved in this political movement, while allowing those who don’t agree to not be involved. Although Wednesday’s forum was a good start, it did not include an opposing opinion. This bill focuses so much on the liberal opinions of the students that it leaves out a more conservative view. The Senate should find other ways to get students with the same opinion involved and encourage them to take action, but when it comes to speaking on the entire behalf of N.C. State University, the Senate should stick to collegiate issues.

Inspiration from Jobs’s death

e are all different. We come from different places, different backgrounds and different cultures, but we all share one thing: mortality. With the death of Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple and Pixar Animation Studios, I recently became Dileep entranced by his words of Karpur Staff Columnist wisdom. Steve Jobs was not God, but he touched many of our lives with his ideas. The 300 million iPods, 128 million iPhones and 62 million iPads sold, in addition to iTunes, the App Store and digital music downloads are a testament to that. As a forward-thinking idealist, his mindset truly went all the way into the future, even to death. Steve Jobs had it right when he said, “Embracing death is a beautiful way to further life. We’re young, but how often do we still feel awkward, like we’re looking for friends to sit with in the lunchroom?” Today, right now, this very minute, this very second, we are one step closer to death. Are we following our hearts? And more importantly, are we challenging ourselves? By no means did this man follow the pack. He didn’t graduate college, and by our arrogant standards these days we would have seen him as a failure, had he not turned out to be one of the most powerful minds of our time. He capitalized on every possible opportunity. He took the classes he wanted. But as students, many of us push ourselves onto the already beaten path. We have our advisers plan out our schedule. We don’t think twice. When was the last time we threw off our already-set-in-stone mindset and just seized the day for what it was? People often see death as an ominous ending, a thought pushed to the very back of our mind. But death should drive us. Jobs recognized that, and we should too. Death should

drive us to take chances, take risks and never settle for anything less than our highest hopes. We never know when death will come. The prospect of dying should make us see that when we’re too embarrassed to dance in front of people or accidentally trip while walking to class, we aren’t the only ones who have the clumsy gene. We are who we are. Jobs couldn’t have put it any better when he told the Stanford graduating class of 2005 not to be anyone but themelves. When you know death is coming, why waste time being something you’re not? Death will come. For some, it will come earlier than others. I’ve always heard the same exact thing from my elders—at one point, you’ll stop worrying and caring. You’ll realize that as the years roll by, you owe it to yourself to live. Really live. They always say that ‘youth is wasted on the young.’ By the time we come to terms with death, we’ve already lived half of our life. And that’s when t he reg ret s start pouring out: what we should have said ? W hat we shou ld have done ? T he plac e s we could have gone ? The people we shouldn’t have let go? But, don’t let it get to that point, Jobs said. Be your best self now. The clock is ticking. We all have the same ending—so go for it. Talk to the people you want to talk to. Be with the people you want to be with. Give the world a chance to surprise you. Take the opportunity to surprise the people around you. Be like Jobs and be creative and innovative. If you’re happy, be happy. If you’re sad, be sad. Don’t waste your moments on trying to live how you think you should live. Jobs said what is rarely ever spoken. We’re all going to die, so might as well live. Stop worrying about the what-ifs. Follow your heart. And never look back.

“We’re all going to die, so might as well live. Stop worrying about the what-ifs.”

Look forward and beyond

t is now routine for Raleigh to be ranked among the best places in America to live and work. In May, Forbes ranked Raleigh as the best place to do business and the second most innovative cit y in America, only behind Austin. With both t he g loba l Shivalik and nationDaga al economy Staff Columnist stil l limping f rom the recession, this ranking certainly provides some cheer, but it may not mean enough in absolute terms. A lot more needs to be done if growth is to be achieved in a real sense. Raleigh has withstood the economic onslaught better than any other city in the country and stands a chance to be the economic front runner in the near future. This provides a great opportunity to State and the students studying here. It means better job opportunities and a chance to work with the nation’s best without having to relocate across the country. This opportunity also calls on students to be prepared to face this challenge. It is obvious now that simply graduating with a 3.5 or greater GPA is not enough to survive in the current job market. It is necessary to differentiate yourself from the crowd, be it through work experience, research or other leadership experience during college.

Rather than being disheartened by this increased competition, students should embrace the opportunity that will help them increase their caliber and add to their personality. A professional experience apart from regular classes helps build confidence and prepares students for a smoother ride ahead. Such activities are no longer optional but an added pre-requisite to the GPA cutoff. In addition to this, students should look at pursuing a minor in a field that strategically complements their primary career choice. Having a minor in statistics has allowed me to see things in a different light, and the involvement with the department has provided opportunities I wouldn’t have known even existed. For example, in my statistics class I’ve learned about software programs I would never have come across in my chemical engineering curriculum, and to my great surprise and happiness, these programs have often helped me in my core studies for many purposes. Such small additions to our learning make our development more holistic and mature. We should make sure the lessons of this economic downturn are not lost on us, and we should prepare ourselves for an increasingly competitive, but also more promising, future. Another issue emerging from this recession is that corporations and governments which earlier dismissed sustainable initiatives as expensive roadblocks to growth are beginning to ingrain sustainability into their corporate philosophy. Almost every company in any field today has a page or at least a few words on their

Kyle Beuchot freshman, biology

website about its sustainable initiatives. Everyone at the workplace certainly seems to have sustainability in the back of their minds. While this renewed interest in climate change is driven as much by consumer interest and pressure, the recession has forced the industry to look at green in a new light. While for a vast majority, this simply means increasing productive efficiency to minimize losses, quite a few global behemoths are looking ahead and making sustainability a part of their corporate culture. Companies such as SAP, a global IT solutions provider, have a new position on their board for the Chief Sustainability Officer. These officers are not simply PR agents for the company but are being given a greater say within the company. The biggest message to take home from all this is that a lot of these green initiatives could well have been possible in the pre-recession era, but huge losses have forced companies to rework their business models to incorporate new elements which are now required by the current global economic status. It is up to students and young entrepreneurs to understand and accept this challenge and make an opportunity out of it. Given the acumen of students on campus and our exposure to the best business region in the country, we hope this will not be so hard.

Elliot Engel: making fools of geniuses English professor sheds light on important figures by focusing on obscure and quirky histories. Hassan DuRant Correspondent

Mark Twain, the accidental cocaine-dealer. Sir Winston Churchill, the buzz-kill. Sir Walter Raleigh: man or giant? Name a historical figure, and Elliot Engel can tell you all their dirty little secrets—or maybe “all the things they wouldn’t want you to know.” Engel gives 120 Elliot Engel lectures per year, yet he still has enough energy to serve up an entertaining lecture each and every time. Thirty percent of his lectures are scheduled with the National Speakers’ Bureau, an organization that helps speakers get clients, but 70 percent of his time is spent with individual institutions that pay him specifically to speak. Engel generates these clients himself, and he knows how to keep them coming for more; about 80 percent of Engel’s yearly lectures are given to repeat customers. Engel manages to have a great rate of return because he isn’t only a lecturer—he is an entertainer. When Engel speaks, lecture halls turn into comedy clubs. Auditoriums suddenly become the comedy halls, and he makes obscure topics in English literature become a rollicking fun time. “When he talks, he makes [his subjects] seem like actual people with actual problems, as opposed to historical figures,” Katie Sanders, a freshman in microbiology, said. According to Sanders, her parents—

Alum creates eco-friendly sandals for good cause kinder soles and their mission

Kinder Soles sells flip-flops to benefit the community and the planet.

Price: $45-50 Produced from recyled water bottles and other recycled materials. T-shirts made of organic cotton textiles. Company donates proceeds to charities. Sister Company SoleMates contributes used shoes to the needy.

Sarah Guizard Staff Writer

Making an impact in the local community is easier said than done, but in the case of Kinder Soles, that is exactly what co-founder and N.C. State graduate Mark Saad set out to do. Saad graduated from the College of Management with a degree in business and entrepreneurship. Once Saad left N.C. State, he began working in the corporate world until he learned about the worldwide “footwear shortage movement.” Upon learning more about this movement, Saad decided to get involved a nd f ig u re out a way he would help. Realizing that collecting gently worn shoes to give to people in need was easy, it seemed that the only difficult part was finding a way to fund sending them to people in need. This need for funding sparked the company he recently started, Kinder Soles. In 2010, Saad launched Kinder Soles to help contribute funds to help the movement. Kinder Soles designs and distributes eco-friendly flip-flops. From the proceeds, 5 to 10 percent of each Kinder Soles purchase goes toward sending

shoes to people in need. The Kinder Soles flip-flops don’t only help a good cause; they also have many other benefits. Saad described them as a “healthy flip-flop.” With the help of co-founder Chris Smith, Kinder Soles was able to take into consideration arch support and overall alignment to make the ideal flip-flop.

Pack edged out by Cavaliers in overtime

UVA defeats NCSU 1-0 in overtime. Brian Anderson Staff Writer

The Wolfpack women’s soccer team went down to No. 8 Virginia, 1-0, in sudden-death overtime at Dail Soccer Stadium Thursday night, despite a strong effort and quality defending in the first two halves of regulation play. State was able to keep the potent Cavaliers offense in check for the majority of the competition until senior goalkeeper Kim Kern was beaten at the end of the first period of extended play. Coach Steve Springthorpe was pleased with the defense’s performance and their ability to execute their game plan despite the loss. “I like what I saw,” Springthorpe said. “I liked how we defended. Our plan coming in was to frustrate them and limit their opportunities. They had 15 shots, but a lot of them were long range and they didn’t get behind us. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to generate more offensive opportuni-

ties. That was our game plan and we did it.” For the initial part of the first half, N.C. State struggled to maintain offensive possession and gave the Cavaliers control of the ball most of the game. When Virginia stole the ball from State, they were able to quickly counter attack by dribbling and passing the ball to their offensive playmakers. In the first half, Virginia got the ball out to the flanks on offense, and then attempted to get behind the defense and create scoring chances. In the second half, the Cavaliers had all seven shots of the half. They played a keepaway style to try to break down the defense. Once again, in the offensive zone, they performed the same strategy as the first half. In overtime, it was more of the same, except this time the Cavaliers finally got past the sturdy Wolfpack defense. About 25 feet from the goal in the center of the field, Virginia’s Lauren Alwine played a throughball to Morgan Brian. Brian got behind the State defense with the ball and put in

We dropped back a center mid[fielder] on [defense] so there wasn’t a gap.” Spamer also identified Virginia’s plan of attack as the Cavaliers attempted to pull State’s back four out of position. “They tried to draw defenders and play throughballs,” Spamer said. “It worked for them a few times, but we held them other than that.” Senior forward Kristina Argiroff andrew so/Technician was all over the field for the Wolfpack.

COUNTDOWN

Skateboarding club makes positive impact on campus.

Members of the skateboarding club, N.C. Skate, are making the most of the vast amount of bricks around campus by filming a full-length skate video, destined to be called “Brick Magic.” They can be seen almost every day skating around and near the TriTower stairs and near the Free Expression Tunnel, an area affectionately known as the flatspot. The club currently consists of 29 active members, including five females and 24 males, who practice tricks and long jumps for their video in order to have it complete by summer of 2012. The club calls itself “N.C. Skate,” and making a name for itself has been a huge accomplishment considering it has only been a club team since August 2009. Senior in construction engineering and management and club president Matt Brokaw is happy to finally see the club building and hopes to have an effect on other schools in the area as well. “Building a name for ourselves with a good reputation has been our biggest accomplishment provided that we are the only skate club of the major universities in North Carolina,” Brokaw said. “But we have

Vegas for the competition in April. With the club earning awards and getting the community involved in philanthropic activities, the members hope to expand its domain and create an area that they can call their own. “We are looking to initiate the construction of a skatepark on campus,” Brokaw said, “or even an enclosed area to put ramps and rails. A place like this would help keep skating concentrated to these areas and prevent skate-related damages. It would give us a place to skate

and practice together, a venue to hold events and a great aspect for the school to promote.” Brokaw also urges anyone who is interested in joining N.C. Skate to come out and give it a try. “Dues are $25, but [membership] comes with an exclusive N.C. Skate/Brick Magic Tshirt,” Brokaw said. “Members can be anyone interested in skateboarding, and there is no skill-level or experience required.” More information about N.C.

consecutive winning season, it is going to take one of the more miraculous efforts the ACC has seen since expanding to 12 teams. Visits to Virginia Tech, Miami and Notre Dame highlight Boston College’s rather steep uphill battle to obtain bowl eligibility, but there will hopefully be no fear of losing this week with only practice standing in the way. Next Game: at Virginia Tech (10/22, 3 p.m.)

Clemson may eventually get its chance to make skeptics true believers when they travel to Atlanta late in the season, but overlooking this week’s night game at Maryland would throw an all too familiar wrench into the plans.

Florida State (2-3, 0-2 ACC) “Missed The Boat” by Modest Mouse “Looking towards the future/We were begging for the past/Well we knew we had the good things/But those never seemed to last” It’s officially time to panic in Tallahassee after three consecutive losses, which nearly eliminates the ‘Noles from Atlantic division contention. E.J. Manuel should have FSU back in the win

Maryland (2-3, 1-1 ACC) “Dancing in the Dark” by Bruce Springsteen/“You can’t start a fire /You can’t start a fire without a spark/This gun’s for hire even if we’re just dancing in the dark” It’s been a blatantly hideous and unpredictable start for the Terps, who have ranged from beating Miami and taking Georgia Tech down to wire to getting roasted on its home turf by Temple. Under the hometown lights, Maryland can easily jump back into the conference title race with an upset over undefeated Clemson. Next Game: vs. #8 Clemson (10/15, 7 p.m.)

The Pack is off this week and the timing is absolutely crucial. Although Mustafa Greene’s prospects continue to dwindle, the defensive line should offer a much stronger performance down the home stretch. State, headed off for a two game road trip before returning back to Raleigh against UNC, needs to finish 4-2 to become bowl eligible.

The club also competes with the National Collegiate Skateboard Association (NCSA) that holds one national big event every year. The Association attempts to bring all of the skateboarding clubs from around the country to one place in hopes of inspiring the development and creation of new university skate clubs. N.C. Skate traveled to the Kona Skate Park in Jacksonville, Fla. to compete in this worldwide event, and three of its top skaters made it to the finals and received the top ten award. This year, the club will travel to Las

begun to inspire skate clubs in the area by being asked to do demos at schools such as Combs Elementary and at events such as the SparkCon Festival in downtown Raleigh.” The club normally holds two community-wide skate events per semester. Their most recent event, Game of S.T.A.T.E., was held on Oct. 1, where they raised almost $400 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Raleigh. The Campus Recreation Department named N.C. Skate the Community Service Leader of the Year for the 2010-2011 academic year.
