University stands behind GLBT Rally in the Brickyard showcases GLBT’s State Not Hate campaign. John Wall and Will Brooks

News Editor and Staff Writer

Students and administrators rallied in the brickyard to show their support for the GLBT community Thursday afternoon in response to an act of vandalism to the student GLBT Center. Students lined up to sign a petition called the “United Message” to show their disdain toward the incident that occurred Monday night. Guest speakers, such as Provost Warwick Arden, took the podium on behalf of the GLBT community as students and community members came to watch. “The student body as a whole rejects and condemns hate speech at N.C. State University,” the petition stated, along with words promoting equality among all students. University members, including students and faculty, have been signing the “United Message” since Tuesday. The message was featured in Wednesday’s edition of Technician, where a couple hundred people stated they stood against the vandalism. Since Wednesday’s print edition, over 1,000 people have signed the message, according to GLBT Cetner Director Justine Hollingshead. Student government had two tents set up at the event. They had ribbons of paper available for people to sign that were aggregated into a “Chain of Hope.” Top GLBT representatives, including Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Tom Stafford, held the chain up toward the end of the event. Karen Waters, editor-in-chief of The Triangle, a LGBT publication aimed at Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill in both print and online, was at the rally. A 1994 alumnus, she said things have changed since her time as a student. “They didn’t have this when I was here. We didn’t have this support,” Waters said. “When I was in school, nobody would have cared.”

Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Tom Stafford speaks to the NCSU community about how important the GLBT Center and its community is to NCSU as a whole at the GLBT “State not Hate” Rally, Thursday.

The on-campus GLBT Center was envisioned in 1999, but was not realized until 2007, according to Waters. “It’s really important that the [GLBT Center] is here,” Waters said. Arden gave a great speech to the crowd, according to Waters. “He gave a really nice, inspiring talk on diversity here and this is not how people want N.C. State to be viewed,” Waters said. Waters said negative messages such as those written on the GLBT Center can be seen on a daily basis in the free expression tunnel. Leslie Cloninger, a graduate student in social work, is in her first year of graduate school after receiving a degree from UNC-Chapel Hill. She said

Allies signed slips of paper, which were then assembled into a “Love Chain”, showing support for the GLBT community, Thursday at the GLBT “State not Hate” Rally.

In Libya, what had initially began as a protest against government corruption, manifested into eight months of civil war. All of which came to a close Thursday with the death of its leader Moammar Gadhafi. Gadhafi, after staging a military coup in 1969, took control of Libya and implemented a tyrannical rule for almost 42 years. He was feared and resented by most of his people for backing terrorist groups and abusing human rights. Associate Professor in the department of political science William Boettcher gave insight on Gadhafi’s politics. “Gadhafi was the single, dominant ruler there,” Boettcher said. “You had a political system that didn’t allow many interests beyond Gadhafi and his family. They sell oil; he took a lot of that money and used it to support lavish lifestyles.” However, the exact circumstances of Gadhafi’s death still remain unclear. It is generally believed that he was shot twice while rebels attempted to overtake him and his loyalist troops. “The jury’s still out on that — on who was really responsible,” Boettcher said. “They should have kept him alive and tried him. Generally, I think that’s a good idea. I don’t think it’s a good idea, morally or politically, to parade him around Misrata like they did.” Beaudette added, “I think that, given the situation, the rebels weren’t interested in having him tried for war

New phone service for broke students Virgin Mobile offers basic functionality at comparitively low cost. Jatin Bhatia Staff Writer

For all the recession-hit students looking for solutions that do more with less, Virgin Mobile is offering a

new pre-paid service called “payLo” at a rate of $30 per month. The prepaid service brand of Sprint, Virgin mobile, gives the consumer 1,500 domestic voice minutes, 1,500 messages — text, picture, email and/ or IM — and 30MB per month web access allotment. Jack Pflanz, public relations manager for Sprint, said the service is for those who are looking to “econo-size” their phone budget.

“With the increasing popularity of prepaid wireless service, consumers can now apply the same ‘minsumer’ mentality to their wireless plan. payLo by Virgin Mobile is a great option for people who have figured out they really don’t need the extra bells and whistles associated with a pricey smart phone — they simply want a quality, attractive device that allows them to

Staff Report: A pedestrian was hit by a vehicle Thursday evening on the corner of Dan Allen Drive and Western Boulevard. The Raleigh Police Department was on the scene conducting an investigation. As of 10 p.m. Thursday night, they were unable to release any information, according to Of-

ficer J.C. Black. The extent of injuries — both of passengers and the pedestrian — could not be determined. The incident occurred directly in front of the Han-Dee Hugo’s gas station. Police were on the scene in minutes, according to a Han-Dee Hugo’s employee, who wished to remain anonymous.

talk and text — while adding value to their pocketbook,” Pflanz said. Mark Lederman, director of payLo, said the service can be combined with the LG200 phone, which is available at many retail stores like Best Buy, RadioShack and Target. “It is the reality is that it’s not all about smart phones,” Lederman said. “There are millions of people who don’t want or can’t afford higher-end handsets and expensive data plans. These ‘basic communicators’ deserve a brand like payLo by Virgin Mobile with industryleading value and consumerfriendly offers.” Lederman added that this plan works well for those who need a good deal of talk-time combined with affordability. “payLo by Virgin Mobile, with its 1,500-minute plan, caters to a growing number of consumers who have been paying for unlimited voice, messaging or data when all they really need is affordable talk time, and a lot of it,” Lederman said. These customers can save money while knowing they have the right service for their communication needs. Lederman also said that this shows company’s commitment to satisfy the customers. “The benef its prov ided by payLo’s $30 offer, combined with the LG200 handset,

reaffirm our commitment to providing overall value to this particular segment of customers.” According to Pflanz, it stacks up well against its competitors like T-mobile. Students had mixed responses toward the plan. Anant Singhal, a freshman in nuclear engineering, said he pays $53 a month for his phone plan and would buy payLo if he can retain his current phone number. “[My current phone plan costs] $53 per month. I would be willing to buy it if my number doesnt change,” Singhal said. Jason Cooper, a senior in communications, said he wouldn’t use it because it sounds more like business and work phone. He was concerned about the technology of the phones. “It depends on what type of phone it is. My phone, if anything, has to be up to date. Since I use it so often, the quality of the device is going to play a huge part,” Cooper said. “Honestly, you can never have enough messages. I text much more than I talk on the phone. And with emails, even more. I would use this phone but not for social purposes. This would be more of a work, business-type phone. “ Rebecca Paige Hoffman, a freshman in meteorology, said that it is indeed a great deal, but wouldn’t satisfy someone as social as her. “I actually wouldn’t use

this plan only because I currently have unlimited messaging for both instant messaging and texting and 1,500 would not be enough for me,” Hoffman said. “I also have an unlimited data plan and unlimited minutes which satisfies me very well. However, I would recommend the plan to someone who isn’t as social as I am.” She added that she is happy paying $45 for an everything unlimited plan. Kellie Lynn Biesecker, a junior in fashion and textile management, said she uses a lot of talk and text, so it wouldn’t fit her requirements. “I won’t use it because I need way more text messages than 1,500,” Biesecker said. “Also, I speak to five to six people a day for about 15 to 20 minutes. I pay $60 for my phone right now but wouldn’t change to this plan to save money. I could make it work if I had to but otherwise I won’t use this service.”

{Our view}

The Facts:

Wednesday night, Student Senate passed the N.C. Equality Act, which demonstrates N.C. State’s disapproval of a state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.

Our Opinion:

Student Government deals with these types of issues, so we should make sure they do it representatively.

Senate, set the example 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.

he Student Senate passed the much-anticipated N.C. Equality Act, which will allow a letter to be sent to the North Carolina legislature stating N.C. State University does not support Amendment One, an amendment to ban gay marriage in the North Carolina State Constitution. While 11 senators abstained from the vote on the grounds that there was not sufficient student feedback, the fact of the matter is the Student Senate is a representative advocacy body for the student body of N.C. State. In last Friday’s editorial, the Technician editorial claimed Student Senate “should stick to campus matters;” however, these types of issues do relate to campus. It would be the same instance of them reach-

ing out to the legislature on an issue like raising tuition and fees. Political issues, such as gay marriage, have many benefits and consequences when choosing to take a stance and it is the job of the Student Senate to make these stances and speak on our behalf. Many of these issues are emotionally-charged or issues of morality, which is why the Senate should make a better effort to gather the sufficient student feedback they need to make and pass bills, such as the N.C. Equality Act. The Senate is modeled after our national and state governments, acting as the elected

representatives of the student body; however, the one advantage they have that our national and state governments do not is the ability to better connect and reach out to their constituents. Senators should understand this and make full use of this advantage. Events like the College of Education’s First Friday forums, CHASS’ various meet and greets with their representatives are prime examples of senators getting the necessary feedback to represent their constituents. The important part of passing or rejecting these types of bills is the conversation behind it is in the best interest of the

students—this is not an issue of gay marriage, but rather the Student Senate doing their job, and doing it effectively. While senators should ensure their constituents understand what is happening in Student Government, it is also the jobs of the students to keep informed on these issues and let their representatives know their opinion and how they should be representing them. Like in the real world, students who don’t vote cannot simply go back and vote on the way their senators should represent them; however, steps could have been taken to receive the necessary student opinion on this bill, such as forums by Student Government or even audience-led debates. The Senate should utilize this ability rather than deny it.

Cancer is cancer

e are repeatedly reminded and taught about all different types of cancer as we grow up. We learn that some can be obviously avoided but, on the ot her ha nd, how ma ny can we really evade? Thousands of ads in magazines, TV and ma ny ot her Nijah places remind Toshumba us cancer is Staff Columnist still out there and there is no true cure for it. So what do we do as a society? We bring more awareness and educate people on what they should do if they are ever faced with cancer. My problem does not fall exactly with the promotion of cancer awareness, but what does bother me the most is that, although several months of the year are dedicated to concentrate on different types of cancer, the one that gets the absolute most attention seems to be breast cancer. I am very aware that both men and women can get breast cancer, and it is absolutely non-preventable. I get it. And I support all that has to do with breast cancer. But if I see one more ribbon on the campus, whether it is on a hat or a book bag, I might go crazy. Do not get me wrong, or think I am some heartless individual who does not appreciate the dedication breast cancer gets for one month out of the year. However, I am frustrated that it seems if one was not fully directed by another form of cancer, no one really knows or cares about the other types of cancer. Breast cancer is not the only cancer that has a month dedicated to it, but the general population probably does not know this because the others just do not seem as important.

For example, ovarian cancer has a month devoted to bringing awareness to women around the world. However, I have never heard of it until now, which is unfortunate. It is known to be the silent killer in women, meaning that, unlike breast cancer, there is really no way to fully detect ovarian cancer ahead of time. If one gets breast cancer they can possibly feel a lump forming in their tissue. It is just frustrating to know so many people in the world are dealing with so many other forms of cancer such as prostate, colon and liver, but yet the one that gets the most advertising, the most 5k walks and is the most well-known around the world especially in America is breast cancer. Lung cancer kills twice as many women around the world as breast cancer. Yet, breast cancer is still the number one cancer that pops into people’s minds when they think of any form of cancer. I know very well that lung cancer is preventable, but does that mean it lacks importance? Cancer is cancer, and it kills millions of people every year, so if we are going to give attention to one form of cancer we should give it to all, regardless of the cause of the cancer. All cancer is a serious matter whether a person caused it by or it was through genetics. I just want an equal focus on all cancers out there. Even if that means cutting breast cancer awareness month to just a week, so other cancers get equal attention and consideration. It seems pretty reasonable to me, because all in all, cancer is cancer, no matter what its kind.

Response to “Substance abuse is a disease” Wahooligans! University of Virginia vs. North Carolina State University. Mark McLawhorn, editor-in-chief emeritus

If you won’t let it hurt, it won’t

uesday morning, the first thing I saw on Facebook was the image of a spray-painted GLBT display board. This board, and the organization it represents, was the victim of a cruel act of hate towa rd t he GLBT community. Shivalik My day beDaga gan by readStaff Columnist ing the comments below the picture. As the week progressed, I read full-page statements of solidarity in Technician, columns devoted to discussions on diversity, and later that day I read a statement by the provost and executive vice chancellor of the University, condemning this incident. While this certainly reassured me we truly are a welcoming campus, I could not help but think, did this even deserve so much attention? Every now and then some incident of violence or similar verbal assault against specific groups of people surfaces on campus. And every time the who’s who of the University gather to collectively condemn and abhor the incident. As evidence by the solid show of support by students following this act, it should be clear to anyone at N.C. State that he or she is completely welcome here, no exceptions. But looking back at this, I cannot help but ask them: Did you not already have this belief in the campus community?

The very fact we have numerous diversity-inclusion institutions speaks volumes about the University’s attitude. We should desist from reacting too so strongly and repeatedly to vile acts by miscreants, whose only aim is to garner publicity by such methods. This was not the first of a series of previously unsuccessful attempts at segregation, but it should be enough for us to believe we have already won this battle before it even began. It is not necessary to react to such hate crimes every time. Ignorance and inaction can be as strong a deterrent as anything else. The people who were involved in this incident had only one objective in mind: to get the maximum attention possible. And guess what? In a way, they have achieved it. If we had only chosen to ignore this and the words were simply removed from the board, they would have failed in their objectives. Nobody on campus would have known the GLBT community is disliked by someone on campus. The first thing I would have seen that morning could well have been somebody wearing an ‘I Love Diversity’ T-shirt on the Brickyard. By responding to such acts, we only strengthen this diminutive group’s conviction that people can still be divided on this issue, or at least that such issues can be invoked at will— their will. In a way, the fault is ours as well. We tend to give skewed importance to issues of homosexuality, race, religion and

maybe even political opinion. It is high time we realize Person A is always going to be different, very, very different, from any Person B. No two people can ever be the same, and just by my existence I add diversity to N.C. State and to this world in general. Such distinct categories have been created only by us, and therefore can only be dissolved by us again. If you look at diversity from such a broad perspective, can you think of any way to prove that the GLBT community is any different in importance to, say, the anime-lovers’ society? Both have a very specific set of choices, interests and views toward life. If someone had written ‘Animelovers go burn yourself’ on that group’s display board, I doubt it would have contracted a response from the Provost. Think of what you want the world to know you as and think of what you want your own identity to be. Chances are your first choice is not related to your sexuality, color, religion, nationality or political opinion. Feel bad only when someone attacks you based on your central identity; otherwise, have the strength to take it in your stride. If you choose not to feel hurt, then the other person has simply failed to hurt you. If you decide not to accept defeat then you have already earned your victory.

Thank you for writing a piece concerning substance abuse. I think it is an issue that many people could benefit from learning more about. As an alcohol/substance educator it is a subject matter I care about deeply. There are some statements in the article that are perhaps inaccurate or unsubstantiated though. In the field of substance abuse, one would be hard pressed to state that substance abuse is a disease. Alcoholism and other drug addiction are considered disease as diagnosed by clinicians, typically according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition, but substance abuse can, and does, occur by many people who are not addicted. A few times you state in the article unsubstantiated declarations. “Most students consider” binge drinking rates “light drinking” as well as “most students” simply ignore and breeze through AlcoholEdu. The word “some” or “many” as compared to “most” are more appropriate words to use unless there is evidence to back up these statements. I have evidence from data that the average score of students taking the pre-test for AlcoholEdu for College is “55.” The post-test average is around “85.” That would indicate that many or some students aren’t ignoring or breezing through the program. Also, the data shows that about 75 percent of students completing the program would recommend it to a friend. I do agree with you that many of our problems with addiction does come with a stereotype that it is a moral failing when much of the research provides evidence showing genetics play a strong role in the illness as it does in many other diseases. Please take my comments as constructive. I do appreciate you’re taking the time to write about this topic. Dr. Chris Austin Assistant Director of Health Promotion, Substance Abuse Prevention

I’m not saying [what happenend] is justified, but, to them, it was there only course of action, and their best option.” Regardless, now that Libya is free of its dictatorship, there’s the question of how will they manage politically in the days to come. Mohammad Moussa, a senior in electrical engineering, traveled this summer to Egypt and Tunisia with three friends to document the revolutions through poetry. Their rendition of the experience, Poetic Portraits of a Revolution, incorporates interviews and interaction with Egyptians and Tunisians who took part in the uprisings. “Revolutions aren’t perfect, and they’re def initely not pretty,” Moussa said. “It’s a struggle at the end of the day, and although Egypt and Tunisia’s struggle might have been relatively easier during the

I’m not sure [if Libya is ready for democracy], but that doesn’t matter, because the transformation is happening.” According to Boettcher, Libya is on its way to establishing a solid foundation for its government with the National Transitional Council and support of people like

Wolfline bus driver Daniel A. Young recently won the gold medal at the 2011 North Carolina Senior Games. Young has a revolutionary teaching method based on geometry and balance that he uses to try to get more kids involved in tennis. He used these techniques to bring home four gold medals over the past few years.

Sixty-nine years old, still serving it up Daniel A. Young keeps limber while practicing tennis and working his Wolfline shift. Ankita Saxena Staff Writer

After playing tennis for more than 45 years, and still loving it enough to devote all his waking time and energy to it, Daniel A. Young, 69, is truly passionate about the game. Young works as a driver for the Wolfline buses, but according to him, it’s “just a way of earning money [to] buy tennis balls.” Young recently won the North Carolina Senior Games in Raleigh for the second time in a row. He started playing tennis at the age of 24, when he challenged one of his acquaintances to a tennis game. Surprised when he lost 6-0, Young wanted a rematch. After a few months of practice and getting to know the ropes of the game, he played again and this time he won 6-0. According to Young, he taught

himself to play tennis just by reading books and practicing on a wall. “Hitting the ball on a wall and catching it gives you a consistency you will not be able to get by practicing with other players, especially weaker ones. I started with gradually increasing the number of balls I could hit and catch, and now I can go up to 300 for backhand and 300 for forehand without missing at a time,” Young said. Young’s strategy is to use the mind while playing. When he started playing the game he used to think about tennis all the time and how to improve, even when he was not practicing. Now that he has long been an expert at the game, he likes thinking about he can get others to learn the game. Besides playing, he has taught tennis around the country, from Chapel Hill and Durham to Florida and San Diego for more than 30 years. “I believe tennis to be the sport of a lifetime, something a person can start at any age,” Young said. He gets letters from people who

are enjoying the game he introduced to them. “We are thankful to you for teaching us the strokes, strategy and sportsmanship of tennis. You are responsible for our great improvement at the game,” Juergen and Johanna Plaehn, a couple he taught to play tennis, wrote to him. Janet Stevens, who lives in San Diego, is another protégé of Young who started playing the game when she was 40 years old. She too gives him credit for introducing her to the game, with it now being an activity she thoroughly enjoys. His passion for spreading the game even led him to try and teach it to auditorily and visually impaired children. “I contacted John Deluca, who is the president of the Morehead School to introduce this idea,” Young said. “Blind kids already take part in some physical activities such as racing with the help of holding ropes, so I thought they could be taught tennis as well. They were able to play along with a helper who would

tell them whether they were hitting the ball too low or too high.” Not many children at the school took up tennis, but Young is still optimistic. He believes this game to be a great way to stay active as well as make friends. “I believe I have played with more people than anyone else,” Young said. “I love walking into a court and challenging players for a game. Even if they are not very good at the game it doesn’t matter, because I might help them get better.” When he teaches, he likes to use the analogy of window shades, hammers and scissors to get his students to learn the right grip of the racquet and the right way of bouncing the ball. Young also advocates families playing together, with parents helping their children get better at the game. Families that play together, stay together is what Young believes. His enthusiasm can be gauged by the fact that he would like to challenge Serena Williams to a game. “I think I can defeat her,” Young said with a smile.

Remembering our mascot: Canis rufis Oct. 16 through 22, National Wolf Awareness Week, raises support for severely endangered species. Eric Rizzo Staff Writer

With reports speculating that only 300 red wolves remaining in the world, the N.C. State mascot will be facing an uphill battle to repopulate its species. The Red Wolf Coalition of North Carolina has therefore dedicated a week to the wolf between Oct. 16 and 22. Throughout North Carolina, there are various programs devoted to the conservation of red wolves, the state’s native wolf. The North Carolina Museum of Life and Science is having a week full of guest speakers, kids programs and an exhibit all devoted to the red wolf, according to Sherry Samuels, the animal department director of the museum. “Our goal is to share with people any information about our current wolves, about red wolves and red wolf conservation in general, and what people might be able to do to support wolves,” Samuels said. According to Samuels, the museum deals with educating the public on wolves and wolf conservation. However, the red wolves at the museum are

mestic dogs have more of a child-like demeanor, compared to wolves who are more like adults”. This, according to Mahaffey, is why wolves and wolfdogs must be treated differently than domestic dogs. Because humans have inbred domestic dogs, they have thereby made them docile and easy to control, according to Mahaffey. This is what makes wolves and wolfdogs different, since they are much more intelligent and less compliant. For this reason, Mahaffey does not recommend anyone get a wolf or wolfdog without the proper education. You may wonder how exactly humans developed a fear of wolves, while, at the same time, have developed a love for dogs. According to Mahaffey, this arose from the time when lots of people kept sheep. Since wolves attacked sheep, people developed a fear of them. However, according to Mahaffey, all dogs descended from wolves, and wolves were man’s first domestic canine. One of Mahaffey’s main concerns is when states like Idaho and other Western States take wolves off the endangered species list. While a wolf population may reach a healthy level, taking them off of the endangered species list allows hunters to kill the wolves back into endangerment. This

happens, according to Mahaffey, because it is hard to keep track of how many wolves have been killed. Therefore, limits to the number of wolves to be killed will be broken. Samuels and Mahaffey both stressed wolves are an important part of North American ecology.

Cain revives Pack’s season hopes Senior forward Tanya Cain gets the game-winning goal in overtime to seal the deal.

continued from page 8

Anyone wondering why I didn’t mention No. 7 Clemson in that sentence needs to check out the Tigers. The hope isn’t solely based on the schedule and the slim possibility that one win could create a domino effect culminating in a trip to a bowl game. As good as quarterback Mike Glennon has been, he’s largely succeeded without any semblance of offensive balance or momentum. Few things in football make a quarterback’s life more difficult than big early deficits that make an offense rely on the pass. If Glennon can get it done in comeback mode, fans shouldn’t rule out monster performances for

Jeniece Jamison Senior Staff Writer

A goal in overtime from senior Tanya Cain garnered the Pack its first conference win with a final score of 2-1 against the Clemson Tigers on Thursday. State is now 1-5-2 in the conference and has revived its window of opportunity to get into the ACC Tournament. “This whole season we had our backs turned to the goal, so it’s really good to come out with a win,” Cain said. “It’s our first conference win and we’re going to celebrate to the fullest. It’s wonderful to just to get a win. Ties are great because you don’t lose but it’s always better to get a win.” N.C. State walked into a must-win situation where the Pack would have to take its match and Florida State would have to lose theirs to get into the final spot for the conference tournament. The next two matches against Boston College and Duke have now turned into must win matches for the Pack, as well. The Pack came out firing early on in the match with shots on goal from Bronson and Berger within the first five minutes of the match, but neither could complete the plays. After State’s surge of shots on goal, Clemson began to show aggressiveness by earning a penalty kick from Vanessa Laxgang that hit the Wolfpack wall. Clemson finally broke through the wall of the Pack’s defense with a goal by Maddy Elder down the middle of the net off of an assist from Rachel

him in the coming weeks. Or at least they shouldn’t if James Washington, who has posted consecutive 100-yard rushing games, and the O-line can continue to keep defenses honest. All of the optimism above becomes moot if State falls to 3-4. It’s not that this team is poised to go on the potential tear I have described. A great deal of ‘ifs,’ regardless of what happens against Virginia, have to become realities if this team wants to qualify for a bowl game that would make fans forget the first half of the season. With a win this weekend, the odds remain stacked against N.C. State making a bowl game. But with yet another L, State would remain little more than ‘mathematically eligible’—a euphemistic phrase that also describes my chances of winning the lottery.

The team celebrates their win over the Clemson Tigers Thursday. Although the Tigers were the first to score, the Pack tied the game in the second half and eventually sent the game into overtime.

In overtime, it seemed as if Clemson would gain the momentum after an official made a wrong out-of-bounds call with six minutes left, giving the Tigers possession. They missed the attempt off of a Kearns save and the Pack took control from then on. Cain scored the game-winning goal in the 96th minute of the match with a shot that sailed over goalkeeper Lauren Arnold and settled at the back of the net, assisted by freshman Stephanie Bronson. “We were knocking on the door the whole game,” Cain said. “We were all fighting hard.

players up and prepare them for Saturday.” Defensive coordinator Mike Archer, who was once the linebacker coach at Virginia, felt that David Amerson, who currently leads the nation with interceptions, was one of the most important players for the Pack not only because of his numbers but because of the important job he has been fulfilling over the season. “We have put him on the best receiver, he played against Liberty, played their best receiver, versus Georgia Tech he went against Steven Hill, in other games we have always matched him with our best receiver because of that,” Archer said. “He is

our best corner so I think we will try to do that each week.” Archer also observed that the Cavs offense had really developed over the season and that the team knew what it had to do to stop them. “Their offense has really evolved, you watch them from the William and Mary game, and then against North Carolina and now you see last week has been by far their best performance,” Archer said. “They ran the ball very effectively, controlled the line of scrimmage, threw the ball and made big plays in the passing game, and we figured that’s what they are probably going to trying to do.” N.C. State takes on Virginia on Saturday, Oct. 22 at 3:30 p.m. in Charlottesville.

It’s now or never

Virginia Cavaliers

’m going to say it while I can—it’s still possible that this football season will turn out OK. On paper, the upcoming game against Virginia isn’t terribly significant. Nobody denies that State could use the win, but even with a victory Saturday, the Tyler Everett Pack wou ld Pulse of the Pack need to take three out of Co-Host its last five to become bowl-eligible. Should State lose, it would need to win four of five to go bowling. For a team that has not only lost, but also fallen behind by 21, against every BCS-affiliated opponent it has faced, ending the season going 3-2 down the stretch doesn’t appear substantially more likely than finishing it 4-1. But I still think this weekend’s game is huge. Football is an extremely mental game. If, starting this week, players convince themselves that this became a winning team over the bye week, the rest of the schedule looks manageable. It all starts with Virginia. Should State come off the bye week with a loss, I don’t imagine we’ll see a confident bunch go down to Tallahassee to take on Florida State. A loss to the Cavaliers would drop the Pack to 0-4 against opponents from BCS conferences. Under such circumstances, I’m not sure what would give State the confidence necessary to finish 4-1 the rest of the way. But bear with me and imagine for a second that State drops Virginia on Saturday. Coming off an ACC win and with FSU struggling, the Pack would all of a sudden have good reason to like its chances against a Seminole defense that gave up 35 points each to Wake Forest and Clemson. In that case, an upset over Florida State would put State on a three-game winning streak. Under those circumstances, with UNC coming to town the following week, nobody could rule out the possibility of a fifth straight victory over Carolina. I’ve probably already gotten carried away, but if State could manage to reel off three straight, the Pack would need only one win in its last three games against Clemson, Boston College and Maryland.
