Occupy NCSU takes Capitol building On-campus Occupy group holds all day event and marches to Capitol. John Wall News Editor

“All day, all week, Occupy Raleigh” reverberated between downtown buildings as CHASS graduate student Ryan Thomson led the Occupy NCSU charge down Hillsborough Street to the Capitol. With permit in hand, 72 people were in attendance at the peak of Occupy NCSU’s teach-in held Thursday in the Court of North Carolina. Following morning presentations by professors in the Court, 13 occupiers marched to the Capitol, chanting the last block to make their presence known. “We are trying to combat disinformation that is often times spread by a number of different outlets.

Ram Roasters keep tunnel untainted Annual Ram Roast keeps Free Expression Tunnel from turning blue. Anna Riley Staff Writer

Erin Lehnert, a freshman in business, paints the Free Expression Tunnel white during the Ram Roast Thursday night. The entire tunnel was painted red and white in support of the Wolfpack as they prepare to take on UNC on Saturday.

Hundreds of students surrounded the Free Expression Tunnel Thursday night in honor of the traditional N.C. State Ram Roast. The 2011 Ram Roast was kicked off by a pep rally to prepare for Saturday’s football game against UNC Chapel Hill. Throughout the night, students were provided with hours of entertainment that included a flash mob, acapella group performances and a tailgating triathlon. For years, students and alumni have famously set up a “Ram Roast” to celebrate the upcoming football game against UNC, and enlist people to guard the tunnel from Tarheels who come to cover it with blue paint. Rachel Conley, a senior in fisheries, wildlife and conservation biology, is a student ambassador with the Alumni Association and said some of the ambassadors stay out all night with the students to watch the tunnel. “It’s a great tradition because it’s a positive and fun way to participate in the rivalry [between State and Carolina]. We’re getting everybody riled up for the game,” Conley said. At designated times during the event, student groups were posted around the tunnel dishing out free drinks, barbecue and pizza. With music playing through loud speakers, huddles of students mingled with each other and waited to paint the tunnel. During the tailgating triathlon, 32 teams of two

competed in games of corn hole, ladder golf and water pong. Although the winners got two N.C. State tradition scarves, all participants were awarded with free N.C. State gloves. Between 11 p.m. and midnight, “ram roasters” gathered in the tunnel for the paint job and graffiti contest. Those who participated in the graffiti contest were required to paint a 4 ft. by 6 ft. anti-Carolina mural; the winner received an autographed football from Tom O’Brien. Jim Gresham, the coordinator of student programs with the alumni association and the ambassador program advisor, said the association holds a Ram Roast before every game against UNC. He said the events usually have good student turn out, but the influx of people is based on the scheduled events. “People come and go as the events are held,” Gresham said. When no particular event is going on, Gresham said the alumni association plays old UNC games on a big screen. Candace Knotts, a senior in plant biology and horticulture, said she decided to stop by the roast as she was passing through. Knotts said she enjoys seeing the camaraderie between students before a big game. “It’s fun to experience all that goes on before the Carolina game; plus there’s free food,” Knotts said. The N.C. State Alumni Association and the Student Ambassador Program sponsored the long-established event that brought students and alumni together to protect the Free Expression Tunnel from invading Carolina-blue paint cans.

Coaches’ verbal battle feeds fuel to rivalry fire UNC head coach trash talks State’s academics. Josh Hyatt Sports Editor

His voice shaking in anger, football coach Tom O’Brien responded Thursday to a series of verbal stabs by North Carolina interim head coach Everett Withers. O’Brien exposed this rarely seen side of himself to reporters after football practice when they asked him about Withers’ comments on N.C. State football’s academic standards. Withers told Raleigh’s 99.9 “The Fan” Wednesday that potential recruits should recognize UNC as the “flagship school” in the state. “When you have as many schools in this state as we have and the recruiting base gets watered down a bit, I think the kids in this state need to know the flagship school in this state,” Withers said. “They need to know it academically. If you look at our graduation rates, as opposed to our opponent’s this week, graduation rates for athletics, for football, you’ll see a difference… If you look at the educational environment here, I think you’ll see a difference.” O’Brien, who responded to reporters after asking what Wither’s comments were about, began his response by first acknowledging his program’s faults. “I would say this,” O’Brien said, “graduation rates certainly aren’t where we want them to be and it’s an ongoing process. Graduation rates are like the Titanic; it’s tough to turn around because it’s a six-year average.” O’Brien then said the program’s graduation rates were recovering. “You are talking about how many years ago? I know that we’ve turned ours around,” O’Brien said. “Our APR has bottomed out and it’s headed back to where it should be and certainly my record at Boston College and 15 years as a head coach stands on its own. I don’t know where that’s coming from.” O’Brien then retaliated by referencing his rival’s NCAA trouble. Former Tar Heel defensive end Michael McAdoo was made permanently ineligible to play football after he received unauthorized assistance from a tutor and plagiarized a paper for a Swahili class, which UNC officials were unable to produce a syllabus for. Three other UNC football players were suspended for the 2010 season for academic fraud. “At our school, number one, all classes have a syllabus,” O’Brien said. “Our guys go to school, they are not given grades, and they graduate.” “It’s a little tougher here if you have to go to school and you are expected to have a syllabus and go to class. Our guys earn everything that they get here. Certainly all of our graduates earn everything that they get at this University.” O’Brien continued by bringing up

Alum elected interim prime minister of Libya Abdurrahim el-Keib, class of ’84, will lead Libya through initial months of post-Gadhafi era. Jack Borkey Staff Writer

Standing triumphantly at the dawn of a new chapter of Libyan history is an N.C. State alum. Last Monday, Libya’s National Transition Council selected Abdurrahim el-Keib, a relative underdog in Libyan politics, to be the nation’s interim prime minister. El-Keib graduated from N.C. State’s College of Engineering with a Ph.D in electrical engineering in 1984. It may be difficult to draw the connection between electrical engineering and a position in politics, but Joe Profeta, senior in electrical engineering, sees it as a natural fit. “Electrical engineering is a vast disci-

pline where you learn diverse information and meet many different types of people,” Profeta said. “The projects you undertake give you leadership and problem solving skills.” El-Keib will soon be using every skill he has, as he will be instrumental in getting the fragile state of Libya back on its feet. He and his cabinet will construct a new constitution, one stable enough for Libyans to use for hundreds of years in the future. El-Keib spend 40 years in the United States attending State and the University of Southern California and teaching at the University of Alabama for more than 20 years. Afterward, he returned to Libya to lend a hand in the ongoing revolution, which led him to a rapid rise to power. Once in Libya, Dr. el-Keib became heavily involved in the counter-Gadhafi uprising and established himself as a leader among the citizens demanding freedom. With Gadhafi’s death effectively ending the revolution, el-Keib joined several other

candidates to bid for the spot as interim prime minister. In Monday’s election, el-Keib received 26 votes, barely the majority of the total of 51. He now faces a daunting task, as he must deal with a delicate country that is recovering from constant bloodshed and horrific destruction for the last eight months. El-Keib will serve the position until early next summer when true elections will occur in Libya for the first time in over 40 years. The elections will put in place a congress to develop and build a permanent constitution. Ben Redmond, senior in electrical engineering, was surprised by the news but also proud to hear it. “It is great for the school,” Redmond said. “It just goes to show you that N.C. State is continuing to produce world class citizens and major players in global affairs.”

State athletics and academics have taken the feel of this game to another level. In an interview with Joe Ovies on 99.9 “The Fan”, Withers insinuated that superiority of UNC to N.C.

Wolfpack’s Next Generation

’ve got a stack of more than 20 student letters on my desk all asking me the same thing: How do you balance being the parent of a newborn child a nd facing the high level of academic achievement required as a graduate student here at Emerson N.C . St ate ? Barker Quite frankly Guest Columnist I don’t have a good a nswer for you yet, but Student Government legislation and an upcoming Faculty Senate resolution on graduate student parental leave will soon provide the solution. I think we can all agree that raising a newborn is certainly a time consuming effort for new and stressed parents. This stress can only become more difficult when the parent is a student and is somehow expected to jugg le t he conflicting demands of classwork, teaching assista nt posit ions, research, and a child. If a student makes the reasonable decision to take a brief break from school and take care of a newborn, he or she can be slammed with a variety of crushing restrictions. No longer a full time student, healthcare benefits can be revoked and in some cases international students will lose their visa. Most disturbing, the strict student timeline for progress towards graduation marches on despite students’ desperate need for additional time to complete coursework. While no one is at fault, it’s high time that the University adopts a parental leave policy that protects our students. It’s especially heartening to hear Provost Warwick Arden’s offer to have his office look into implementation of the policy if there is sufficient student and faculty support. Fortunately, recent efforts have been made to correct this lamentable flaw and to find a

working student parental leave policy. The Faculty Senate truly deserves full commendation for their recent efforts and resolution that is making steady progress towards enactment. It is under their initiative and information gathering that the Student Senate has similarly passed a resolution in support of students’ parental rights. The reasonable resolution calls for a policy similar to ones that are already in place and working at other UNC system schools. The adoption of such a measure would allow six weeks of absence to parents without the loss of their full time student status and extend the crushing clock required for the graduation timeline. Students are merely seeking the same rights that were afforded to professionals almost 20 years ago with the Family and Medical Leave Act (1993). N.C. State faculty and staff are currently granted si x weeks of paid parental leave with the arrival of a new child, graduate students certainly deserve a commiserate level of support f rom t hei r extended university family. While I may not currently have an answer on how to bring balance to being a student and a parent, Student Government eagerly anticipates working with the Faculty Senate following the passage of their version of the recent Student Government Parental Leave Support Act. It is only just that the same level of care accorded to our professionals on campus be extended to the greater graduate and undergraduate student population. A common theme in the letters that I’ve seen is the simple plea that our University community gives students the time they need to care for the next generation of our Wolfpack family.

I am not entertained

n our society, we have an industry entirely devoted to providing us respite from daily woes through entertainment. The facets of this industry include sports, television, movies, video games, books, etc. Jonathan With so Lewis ma ny vaStaff Columnist r ie t ie s , it shou ld be easy for us to fill our free time and avoid boredom. But why is it that I find myself incredibly disinterested in a majority of the latest offerings in the world of entertainment? I’ll tell you why: The industry has found itself in a dearth of creative an innovative ideas. Among the top grossing movie of the year are the eighth Harry Potter, the fifth Fast and Furious, the third Transformers, the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean, a slew of other sequels, and the prequel to Planet of the Apes. It appears as though production companies are now only concerned with selling a name and instead of the quality of the films that they produce. The Harry Potter movies are a great example of good movies that gave up trying to be good. The first four in the HP series did a

fantastic job of creating the world of wizardry that we all read about as children. They put effort into the writing, set creation, costumes, and acting to make the audience feel the threat of Voldemort, smell the sweet aroma of butter beer, and believe that the magic was real. The magic ended with the fifth movie. The substance of the writing deteriorated, and t he ac t i ng worsened, despite a fairly strong cast. Further, whoever was responsible for adapting the sixth book either didn’t read the whole book or forgot that it actually had a good ending. And I’m pretty sure Warner Bros. went and found some bums around LA to write to write the seventh movie for them, because I won’t let myself believe that professional writers could forget that stories are supposed to have progression. While bad magic is, well, bad, the Halloween movies that come out every year are even worse. This year, the biggest offender of unoriginality was Paranormal Activity Three. The first Paranormal Activity was sold as the scariest movie of all time. It wasn’t. The main characters were annoying and unrealistic, and they, of course, made horrible decisions. As did the demon, who never really did anything but run up the

air conditioning bill with his opening windows and doors all over the house. The sequel failed to improve on anything, with another cast of B-list actors and uninspired writing. If you throw in the third movie, we get a handful of films that all wish they were the Blair Witch Project, which wasn’t even a great movie, but at least it was original. Movie makers, your job is to create art. Don’t compromise your work just to make more money. If you come up with a legitimately good film, the you’ll make what you deserve from the revenues of the box office. And other entertainment producers should take note of this as well. The plots and setups of video games, social media sites, TV shows, and even books are all starting to homogenize, and consumers and viewers are beginning to lose interest. Dear entertainment industry: I am not entertained. I can only hope that this is a dry spell and that it’s just a matter of time before we see some more creative genius. Like Pulp Fiction. Or Lion King.

Starting young for retirement alleviates uncertain future Story By Joey Fleming | photo By Mark Herring

hough retirement is far in the future for many of us, it is never too early to begin planning. There is uncertainty surrounding the future of Social Security and other retirement benefits, so the best thing you can do is create your own plan.

The earlier you start, the more money you will be able to accumulate over time. Estimating the savings needed for retirement begins with your lifestyle and the expenses you expect to incur after retirement. Common examples of expenses

include utilities, increasing health-care costs as you age, travel, taxes, insurance, and children/ grandchildren’s education. Estimating these expenses will help you better plan for the amount of income you will need after retirement to support your lifestyle. Other factors that play a role in this estimation are your intended age of retirement, life expectancy, and amount of support necessary for your family. Also, keep in mind the cost of living will be higher when it comes our generation’s time to retire. The annual inflation rate has been approximately three percent over the past 20 years. We can expect this to continually play a role in the increased cost of living into the future.

Why is IT important? •

After retirement, your paycheck becomes what you have saved. Starting early should lead to more savings, which will allow you to have a more comfortable retirement.

Bombadil returns from two-year hiatus WKNC Pick

of the week All That the Rain Promises Bombadil Ramseur

It has been two-and a-half years since we heard this band. And with health problems among members and being spread out all over the continental U.S. it is amazing this thing was actually recorded. And the remarkable thing is that it was recorded an old leaky barn in Oregon State. The guys had to warm their hands by the side of a small

homemade fire between takes and the album is named after a book they found laying forgotten in the barn. Even though they have been separated for this long, the homeboys from Durham still sounds the same, their unique vocal harmonies coupled with cute and fun songwriting. Their music, when cut open and dissected, reveals much more poetic

undertones than at a glance. While former album Tarpits & Canyonlands was more of a whole album with each song flowing perfectly with another, this new one is made up more of individual songs pieced together, probably because of the aforementioned distance. That doesn’t mean it is bad, just different, and actually quite good.

In light of the destructive floods, Thai students are working to raise money for relief. Young Lee Staff Writer

Every day, Ganokon Urkasemsin and Santi Sanglestsawai, contact their hometowns to see if their friends and family are alright and to check the water level from recent floods. Unfortunately, this is now a common practice among Thai students away from home. Every day, Ganokon Urkasemsin and Santi Sanglestsawai, contact their hometowns to see if their friends and family are alright and to check the water level from recent floods. Unfortunately, this is now a common practice among Thai students away from home. For the past three months, Thailand has been going through the worst monsoon f loodwaters in recorded history. Urkasemsin, a doctorate student in veterinary medicine, has to raise her hands over her shoulder to show how high the waters are in her home. In some areas in Thailand, the water has risen over the tops of cars and gates. “[My family] is okay… [but] their house is flooded because [they] are in the [f looded] Thawi-watthana district in Bangkok,” Urkasemsin said. “The water in my house is now about 1.5 meters.” Sanglestsawai’s family is going through similar struggles. “My younger sister [and her child], moved out from Bangkok but their house is affected by the flood,” Sanglestsawai, a doctorate student economics, said. “She moved from Bangkok two weeks [before].” However, the struggles of Thailand are not confined to just the Thai people. “This flood is different because it’s impact on everything will be greater than any in its history that we know of in modern times,” Edward Kick, a sociology and agriculture and resource economics professor, said. “As a consequence of the flooding, more than 1,000

factories are closed. Some of them produce car parts. Apple computer says they anticipate a global shortage of harddrives…because that’s also a Thai export.” According to Kick, Apple anticipates the magnitude of that deficit to be 50 million harddrives that will be unusable until repaired. Additionally, 25 percent of the rice crop in Thailand is destroyed. “Since, this is such an important part of the Thai diet, there are going to be people starving,” Kick said. “There may be internal strife, and that’s serious business.” Despite the many miles between Raleigh and Bangkok, the Thai Student Association plans on taking action and wants to offer N.C. State students a chance to take part. On Monday, Nov. 7 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Brickyard, the Thai Student Association will accept donations and will share their stories to inform the public on the floods. The student organization will also give out Thai tea and cupcakes to donors. “[We] feel that we should do something for our country, [but] we are far away. We are also students and don’t have a lot of money, so that’s why we are doing a fundraiser,” Urkasemsin said. All donations will go to the Red Cross and to Ban Arsajaidee, a support organization in Thailand. “I think there are a lot of people here in the U.S. who are willing to donate or to help if they know, but maybe they don’t know,” Sanglestsawai said. “ Sometimes [people] are looking for opportunities to help people in other countries and if they don’t know, they don’t know how to help. But this time, we have set up an event to offer hospitality.” Sanglestsawai hopes the University community will come out and show support and hopes that they can also share a token of some of the happier memories from Thailand, including Thai tea. Just the thought of traditional drink brings comfort, promise, and a smile to Urkasemsin’s face.

Simulating stereotype discrimination Students join together to take a broad look at discrimination on all levels. Jordan Alsaqa Arts & Entertainment Editor

The problem of stereotyping remains a constant problem in American society, despite attention placed on the issue. In order to shed a better light on what it’s like being stereotyped, CHASS Multicultural Association for Students, in association with the Collegiate 100 of N.C. State and Zeta Phi Beta, hosted Don’t Hate the Player, Hate the Game. The event allowed students to take part in an interactive examination of how stereotyping comes into play in real world situations. Participants were provided with a sticker with various colored symbols that represented categories such as race, class and sexual orientation. Students moved throughout the room to different tables, where they would be faced with situations involving judgments based on stereotyping. Each table was representative of a sector of society such as a restaurant, a car dealership or a high school, among others. At the courthouse, lawyers made assumptions of the nature of a crime and someone’s guilt based on the race of the individual. The bank was staffed with tellers who turned away lower class citizens and expected larger amounts of money from those who were designated upper class. The event’s church was run by an overzealous and animated preacher who made an effort to convert and save any homosexual that approached. Aside from the tables, there were also two security guards patrolling the room who

would stop students and accuse them of criminal activity based on racial profiling. Through these interactions, students were able to get a better understanding of how stereotypes come into play in everyday life. The other goal was to show students how stereotypes come into play in their own lives, with their knowledge of these stereotypes being the only way to figure out what the symbols on their sticker meant. Vanessa Calaio, a non-degree student in creative writing, found the event to be an interesting experiment. “I like the idea of the symbols,” Calaio said. “We have to guess and be a bit racist ourselves. The exercise proves its own point.” After the simulation, students were invited to take part in a discussion led by Rupert Nacoste, a professor in the psychology department. Nacoste began the discussion by gathering student opinions on how they felt about the assumptions made of them and then attacked the problem of stereotyping head on. “Stereotypes [are something] we take for granted,” Nacoste

said. “Stereotypes are based on the idea that you can read a person based on category.” The problem with this, according to Nacoste, is that by categorizing, people who should be taken and evaluated as individuals are instead confined to a group, which makes them far easier to ostracize and shun for their differences. Nacoste also spoke of the problem of the few bringing undeserved scorn to the many, such as in the attacks of 9/11. Though Muslims had been in the United States for a long time, they were suddenly seen as threats, a sentiment brought about through stereotyping. “Stereotypes are how we dehumanize and demonize people,” Nacoste said. “They are how we create monsters in our heads.” Jenna Cherry, a junior in international studies, found Nacoste’s words to hold a great deal of importance. “I thought it was really informative,” Cherry said. “It would be really helpful for other people to realize we’re all the same.”

COACHES continued from page 1

UNC’s most recent troubles with the ongoing investigation by the NCAA, which is based in Indiana. “I’m just going to coach my football team and I’m not going to coach his,” O’Brien said, “but as far as the flagship, here was a guy who was on a football staff that ends up in Indianapolis, that if you take three things that you can’t do in college football, you have an agent on your staff, you are paying players and you have academic fraud. That’s a triple play as far as the NCAA goes.” The State coaching staff wasn’t the only group offended by Withers’ statements. Students all over campus took to social media to voice their opinions about the coach’s statement on the Raleigh airwaves. Two students, in particular, showed their objection in a unique way. Sophomore in communications Luke Nadkarni and freshman engineer

Nolan Evans showed their support for O’Brien by going to Withers Hall and taping a sign over it, which read “O’Brien Hall.” Withers’ statements also made a bitter impression upon Student Body President Chandler Thompson. “I think Wither’s comments were in poor taste,” Thompson said, “and I think that’s the reason I heard [a rumor] through the news that the chancellor of UNC called to apologize with Chancellor Woodson. I think, like Tom O’Brien said, Debbie Yow and all of our athletics directors are committed to improving graduation rates. It wasn’t an accurate comment.” Chancellor Randy Woodson was not available to comment by phone but his assistant, Stephanie Parker, contacted Technician via email with a quote confirming the rumors to be true. “Holden and I have a great relationship,” Woodson said in an email. “We talked this morning, exchanged apologies and we’re moving on.” O’Brien urged the fans attending the game to be pas-

Students gather in front of Withers Hall.

sionate but to be respectful to their Chapel Hill neighbors. “As far as our crowd, there better not be anything in the stands,” O’Brien said. “We have a lot of dignity at this school and we have to show it. We can’t lower ourselves to retaliations or fights or anything

Everett Withers recently questioned the “educational environment” at N.C. State while also referencing a gap in graduation rates between the two schools. Metaphorically speaking, Tom O’Brien would like his team to take a Louisville Slugger to the ironic statement by Withers. Next Game: vs. North Carolina (12:30 p.m., ACC Network) Wake Forest (5-3, 4-2 ACC) “Young” by Kenny Chesney “Had no excuses for the things that we’d done /We were brave, we were crazy, we were mostly/Young” Much like the UCLA team who inexplicably controls its own destiny in the Pac-12, Wake is a young team who still has lofty aspirations despite underachieving play, and those Atlantic Division dreams will not be altered this week by virtue of the Deacs jumping out of conference to play Notre Dame.

knows no mercy/And she howls/And she reels/But I’m tired of pretending/Yes I’m tired of pretending/That I still care.” Poor, lonely Duke. Even when the Devils hold Virginia Tech to 14 points, Duke can not find a defining win to exorcise those perpetual demons. Next Game: at Miami (3 p.m., ESPN3.com) Georgia Tech (7-2, 4-2 ACC) “Come Back Song” by Darius Rucker “I know I said I wouldn’t miss you/ But now I’m saying I’m a fool /You’re on the feel good side of leaving /And I’m the backside of a mule.” The Rambling Wreck has lived up to its nickname the past several weeks and, much like Florida State, will be deeply regretting a two-game breakdown if next Thursday’s showdown with Virginia Tech does not result in a victory. For right now, it’s all about believing in a comeback. Next Game: vs. Virginia Tech (11/10, 8 p.m., ESPN) Miami (4-4, 2-3 ACC) - “That Ain’t No Way To Go” by Brooks and Dunn “Like a thief in the night, you ran away with my heart/I can’t believe my eyes, must be a bad dream/You always said we had a good thing/You never

passing situations. That’s going to be more of our focus this week.” Coach Tom O’Brien, who has never lost to the Tarheels during his time at State, chose to give special focus to UNC freshman Giovani Bernard, who leads the nation amongst freshman runners in the nation with over 107 yards of rushing per game, and sophomore quar terback Br y n Renner, who tops the ACC in passing efficiency, both of which will prove to be a formidable threat to the Pack’s defense, which has allowed over 395 yards per game. “The tailback [Bernard] has made a difference. He has breakaway speed, does a good job, got really quick feet finding seems and then he can run away from you,” O’Brien said. “The quarterback [Renner] has been really efficient. He gets back there and he gets rid of the football. Looks like he knows where he’s going with

once let on we were falling apart.” Coming off of convincing wins against UNC and Georgia Tech, the ‘Canes handed it back with a bad Thursday night loss at home to Virginia. Coastal Division hopes dashed, Miami will prepare to cool it’s aching heart with a homecoming game against Duke. Next Game: vs. Duke (3 p.m., ESPN3.com) North Carolina (6-3, 2-3 ACC) “Sparks Fly” by Taylor Swift “I’m on my guard for the rest of the world/But with you I know it’s no good/ And I could wait patiently but I really wish you would.” The UNC-State rivalry received an extra push from Everett Withers, who will try to turn the Pack away from beating Carolina for a fifth consecutive season. Even without Russell Wilson, the Heels will need to get over a mental hump to find a win. Next Game: at N.C. State (12:30 p.m., ACC Network) Virginia (5-3, 2-2 ACC) - “Yes or No” by George Strait “Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?/And if you do, well then don’t be afraid to take me by the hand, if you

State quarterback Mike Glennon who had perhaps his worst performance in Wolfpack colors as the offense failed to score a single point last Saturday against Florida State, will be confident going into the game against the Tarheels according to O’Brien, who has perhaps been the biggest supporter of the redshirt junior. “You’re still going to have games like that,” O’Brien said. “I think it’s a good thing for him that he can learn from it. I think he’s the right type of guy that will learn from it and will get better because of it. It’s all part of a learning process. I don’t think he was shy or intimidated at all.” In the wake of recent comments regarding the academic performance by N.C.

With a combined 31 points versus ECU and Duke, one can only wonder if the Hokies are eating Twinkies in place of practicing during weeks where they play inferior opponents. Next Game: at Georgia Tech (11/10, 8 p.m., ESPN)

UNC-CHAPEL HILL

More than pride at stake Wolfpack seeks fifth-consecutive victory over the Tar Heels. Rishav Dey Staff Writer

Location: chAPEL HILL, n.c. Total Enrollment: 29,390 Established: 1789 Conference: acc Stadium: Kenan Memo-

In the 101st showdown between one of the fiercest rivals in the nation, N.C. State (4-4, 1-3 ACC) takes on UNC-Chapel Hill(6-3, 2-3 ACC) on Saturday at Carter-Finley Stadium in a mouth-watering encounter that has a lot more than pride at stake with the recent event involving comments regarding off-field matters made by UNC’s interim head coach Everett Withers. The two teams will meet after coming off of contrasting results: State being shutout by Florida State at Tallahassee and UNC becoming bowl eligible against Wake Forest. Both teams will know the importance of this game, a fixture that first took place in 1894. N.C. State, the winner of the last four meetings between the two teams, will be hoping to turn around it’s season in what has been a fairly disappointing one by last year’s lofty standards. The Wolfpack is hoping to win in it’s own backyard against it’s most famous rivals and therefore getting evercloser to that elusive bowl game. Redshirt senior Mikel Overgaard admitted he could feel the rivalry since the very first day he came to N.C. State and is expecting Saturday to produce a challenging game. “The minute I set foot on campus I knew how deep this rivalry goes between Carolina and State,” Overgaard said. “They are a big athletic group.

it’s going to be another challenge this week.” Overgaard, also a member of the much maligned offensive line, also claimed the team has moved past their embarrassing loss last week against Florida State and takes full responsibility for the numerous hits quarterback Mike Glennon, who got sacked twice and threw for just 130 yards in the game, has taken this season. “I don’t really want to talk about that. We’ve decided to move past that, put that game behind us. We’re going to get ready for this upcoming week,” Overgaard said. “When he

From those who are heart broken to those facing psychological identity crises, the beginning of November can be a difficult time for the Atlantic Coast Conference. Here at Technician, we understand every program can use a shoulder to cry on, advice on how to get revenge, or a re-

Despite being out of a relationship with bowl game eligibility for a considerable amount of time, Boston College will try to move forward now that it has officially been eliminated from the postseason for the first time since 1997.

As soon as Clemson seriously entered the National Championship picture, the Tigers fell flat in Atlanta and will now have to shift its focus toward the far less-attractive girl, the ACC Championship.

Sitting atop the ACC in terms of total defense, one can only wonder how the Tigers and Deacons burned FSU for a combined 70 points.

Sweezy, who has spent a majority of the season nursing his injury, highlighted the importance of the game and claimed the players made an extra effort to make sure the Pack could hold its head high against their rivals from Chapel Hill. “It is a rivalry game. It’s a fun game to play in,” Sweezy said. “We’ve played really well every time we’ve played them. People just put in more effort and I think that’s a
