Presented by the College of Textiles, Fashion Week included opening and closing ceremonies with two unique fashion shows, “AvantGarde” and “Color Fusion.” There were forums on innovation and creativity, exhibitions from faculty and students, and a marketplace with North Carolina artisans, designers and craftsmen. Along with students from the College of Textiles, students from Donghua University in China and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University participated in the event. Presenters at Fashion Week included Barry Miguel, president of 7 For All Mankind; Anastasia Charbin, fashion market director for Lectra Headquarters in France; Katrina Streiner, creative director of the Charlotte-based Belk; Darryl Carter, a nationally recognized interior designer; and professors from

Carter, a speaker at the creativity forum, has been featured in several publications, including Veranda, Town and Country, Elle Décor and Architectural Digest. Carter, who redesigns houses, spoke about his process during his presentation
“The Collected Home.” “I place things in order to draw you through the house, suggesting that you explore. There needs to be a relationship between the architecture and the sense of space to be a singular experience. It’s all about innovation and maintaining the continuity of the experience,” Carter said.

Tom Stafford, vice chancellor for Student Affairs, reacts to the surprise announcement of the renaming of the Wolfpack Student Initiative. Student Government officers held up signs announcing the change of the name of the scholarship before the start of a Memorial Bell Tower tour, Wednesday, March 8. The scholarship was renamed the Stafford Student Leadership Scholarship, awarded to students with financial need who are involved in a campus organization.
“He is essentially ‘the keeper of the keys’ for the Bell Tower and we were able to tie a couple of his passions together—the Bell Tower, students and N.C. State.” Wednesday, March 8, students and staff gathered in front of Holladay Hall for what seemed to be a typical Bell Tower tour. While posing for the group photo, Bryson, Thompson and Ethan Harrelson, 2011-2012 student senate president, held up signs reading “Surprise! Stafford Student Leadership Scholarship.” “[The renaming] means a lot to me personally because I admire the dedication Dr. Stafford has shown to this University. He dedicated his

career to improving student life at N.C. State and had a lasting impact on the University and its students,” Thompson said. Bryson said Stafford is important to him because he is committed to supporting student organizations. “I think this means a lot to me personally because I have been in Student Government for three years now, and Dr. Stafford has been at every one of those meetings, most of the time to the very end—no matter how late,” Bryson said. “This just shows his continued dedication to the students of N.C. State, and I felt that we really did need to honor him in a way that reflects that.”

Women’s tennis drops ACC doubleheader Wolfpack loses weekend matches to two ranked opponents.
play for the Wolfpack. Vyskocilova, ranked No. 63 in the nation, was the first ranked opponent Illova had defeated in singles play this year. However, that was the high point of the day for the Pack as they lost all the remaining singles matches. Clemson won the match by a final score of 6-1, dropping the Wolfpack to a 7-15 (3-8 ACC) record. “We didn’t get a good start in doubles,” Olsen said. “Once we settled down, then the team started playing better on the doubles courts. They [Clemson] were stronger than us on five of the singles courts today.” Although the Pack came away from the weekend without a team victory, they certainly gained valuable match experience that can’t be duplicated in practice.
“We have been improving and playing better the last two weeks,” Olsen said. “I think especially that doubles has improved, the execution has defiantly been better.” The Wolfpack women play next in the ACC Tournament at the Cary Tennis Park. State received a No. 9 seed to the tournament and its first round opponent is Boston College, the No. 8 seed. All first round matches will be played on April 19. “We did a really good job f ighting and competing against all these teams and we always had the chance to win,” Illova said. “I feel pretty confident coming into the ACC tournament and if we all are right there, at this moment we can beat any of these teams.”

but State bounced back with junior Tatiana Illova and freshman Nicole Martinez winning No. 2 doubles by a score of 8-5. The team that Illova and Martinez beat was the No. 63 doubles pair in the nation and also marked the first ranked win for Illova and Martinez on the year. “We didn’t even know that the girls were ranked,” Illova said. “After we figured it out after the match, we were really excited about it, but we didn’t know so we didn’t have any pressure on us, so we just played our own game.” Georgia Tech eventually won the doubles point by beating the Wolfpack’s No. 1 doubles team, thus winning the doubles point and gaining a 1-0 advantage going into singles play. Singles play was also tightly

Webster considered Fashion Week to be a huge success. “I really think that we’ve accomplished our mission to expose our students to professionals and have a dialogue with them,” Webster said. “We’ve exposed our students to the industry and the creative work that’s going on in exhibitions and on the runway.” Gibson praised the professionalism of N.C.

According to Arias, all of the students in the College of Textiles had to create something for Fashion Week, whether it was for the marketplace, exhibitions or fashion shows.

The N.C. State women’s tennis team lost both its weekend matches to ACC foes Georgia Tech and Clemson. Fresh off a win against Maryland, the Wolfpack came into the weekend with confidence and hoped to spring an upset before the weekend came to a close. Saturday’s road trip against No. 25 Georgia Tech (11-10, 5-5 ACC) provided a stern test for the Pack. The doubles point was tightly contested as all three matches came down to the wire. The Yellow Jackets claimed the No. 3 match 8-5,

He juxtaposes the antique against the modern, and the exterior has to engage with the interior of a space. He’s also against framing art. “I think people ridiculously frame art.

Introducing a week of personal belief systems A
Check out a week of spiritual expressions: Monday: Judaism Tuesday: Islam Wednesday: Christianity Thursday: Mormonism
Friday: Coexistence of Science and Religion
s we begin to wrap up this academic year, we reflect on the past year. As a University we strive to support and sustain diversity throughout our campus. Diversity goes beyond the familiar bounds of ethnicity or gender. It extends to all facets of what makes up individuals. To support and celebrate this diversity, our columnists are banding together to publish a series of columns de-
voted to the discussion of their various belief systems. The intent of this series is not to recruit others to a specific religion, but rather to inform those who may not be familiar with certain religious or moral viewpoints. This will include the personal impacts these systems have had on the students writing their opinions. Since adherance to a belief system or belief in no specific religion
affects who we are and how we act, these columns will consist of informative anecdotes and experiences linking a broader belief system (i.e. Christianity, Judaism, etc.) to an individual columnist. This is not to say the columnists are the poster children for a specific group with the same beliefs, they are just writing from their own experiences. We hope this series will shed light on some
of the religions that are practiced at N.C. State. We at Technician in no way endorse any specific religion or atheism as the “right” belief system, but we feel it is important to learn about the beliefs of others. Whether it is written in the Free Expression Tunnel or in the viewpoint section of Technician, the beliefs guiding fellow students are what provides us with diversity—let’s celebrate that.
A week of spiritual expressions:
{
This is the first in a series of columns on various belief systems for the week.
The chosen people
J
udaism is a magical religion. And I don’t mean magical like the burning bush. I mean magical like mysterious and misunderstood— which in turn makes it beautiful. They used to say Alienware (before Taylor the Dell takeCashdan over) was the Managing best computer Editor a tech-junkie could have because of its “white box.” When they said “white box” they weren’t referring to the color of the package. They meant the fact the buyer had complete control over what went into their machine. Judaism, like Alienware, is a white box religion: you choose your interpretation, you choose how you practice and you choose how to live. I’ve had my struggles with religion over t he yea rs. Whether it be doubt or some form of prayer, I always end up back where I started: being Jewish. It’s not until the last few years I’ve come to the realization people generalize being Jewish because it falls under the category of “a religion.” But the truth is, Judaism is more of a culture than anything else. There’s just so much current history and tradition linking back to the Jewish people of ancient times. For example, keeping kosher is associated with the Jewish faith. Fact: the kosher diet was started by the Jews. Fiction: it was decided to be a staple of Jewish faith and it was restricted to non-Jews. Keeping kosher was originally intended as a stipulation of faith. Back in ancient times, this kosher diet is what kept people alive: separating meats and cheeses, not eating
pork, forbidding the consumption of human flesh, etc. The people of that time did not have the cleaning tools we have today, obviously, but we’ll address the few kosher guidelines mentioned above individually. Meats and cheeses were not to be combined in any form or fashion. Not to prevent the early civilizations from tasting the deliciousness of a cheeseburger, but to prevent the spread of mold and bacteria that lives in, and often gives flavor to, cheese. Tupperware wasn’t exactly an option for the early people, so putting foods in containers to keep them uncontaminated was difficult. Not eating pork was simple: pigs fed on anything they could find, thus making their meat tainted and unhealthy. And I don’t think I have to touch on cannibalism. Aside from Judaism’s influence on our current way of life, having the ability to hand selec t how you want to observe or show your faith, what traditions you’d like to follow and how you define Judaism is what truly makes it unique. But with misunderstanding and ignorance always comes criticism and hatred, and if one faith in the history of existence had to be categorized as the underdog among all religions, Judaism would be it. This isn’t a cry for pity or compassion, nor is it an attempt to convert you. I’m simply pointing out a few misconceptions in the small page space I am given. Now let’s all join hands and repeat my family’s traditional prayer before our meal: “We were persecuted, we survived—now let’s eat.”
“We were persecuted, we survived—now lets eat.”

Like death row with a more pleasant end, you knew what event was guaranteed to take place in your immediate future, graduation, and there was nothing between you and that event except for time. Classes were a joke, as you already know having been through college classes. You had no doubt accrued a large group of friends, who also lacked any real anchors toward scholastic commitment, that you killed most of your days with. It was a time without purpose, but in no way was it reckless. C om i ng i nto N.C . State, I knew I’d contract the disease again. I knew there’d be a time in four to five years where I’d be over school, but, I also knew that I needed to prepare
for it. I secured my GPA, my research, everything before senior year. I even gave myself a final semester of credit-only classes. I was prepared to not care; there would be no damage as there was nothing to lose. Everything was taken care of. The senioritis we faced leaving college is similar to the wonder years that was high school—I became aware of this fact far too late. I prepared for, and was expecting, a senioritis likened to the common cold. Instead, this year’s senioritis turns out to be a lot more like Ebola. I have contracted the standard symptom: not wanting to do anything school related except graduate. But the college edition of senioritis offers another symptom: a splash of madness. I was not prepared to experience it myself or see my friends go through this. When I say a splash of madness, I mean just a splash. I’m not talking about people doing something ridiculous like changing their religious affiliation or going to Chapel Hill—if that happens, it’s all done your sophomore year, but there are some moments you experience that make you scratch your head.

There are the friends who are packing up their bags to work at refugee camps after graduation with job offers on the table. There are friends who, on the surface, are obviously going a bit mad. There are groups of friends, like mine, whose splashes of madness are concealed in the guise of social activities. We thought there’s nothing wrong with taking a boy’s trip to Boston during reading days for exams. “I have school work to do” isn’t an excuse to stay in— people legitimately look at me confused when I try to cite this. A day spent drinking in the front lawn of a house, enticing people to honk so you may drink, doesn’t seem strange at all. While some play it off a bit better than others, it’s all a bit mad. We’re all losing it a tad—but with good reason. This isn’t high school: We didn’t have an incubation chamber for four years awaiting us. We have an unknown reality in front of us, and with that it’s only natural to go a bit mad.

The 2011 N.C. State Rocketry Team poses with its rocket at a competition hosted by NASA last April. The team will return to the competition with a new rocket that can reach an altitude of 5,800 feet.
Students don’t need a specific major to join the team, but just an interest in rockets. According to Khalil, teammates will learn all they need to know from hands-on experience in the group. “Most of our new freshmen and sophomore members actually built the parts of rocket, and many of them are going to become officers next year,” Khalil said. Though Khalil said the task of designing a rocket has been a challenge, the experience will boost employment options. “It is a great thing to put on your resume, to say that you worked under NASA supervision and competed in NASA competition,” Khalil said. “Your experience is of a full engineering design project. First you brainstorm on the design, then you build it, use the simulator and detect the problems and solve them. It is a very good experience.” Brendan Carr, senior in mechanical engineering and outreach coordinator in the club, said the team’s activities extend beyond rocket science. “We are required by NASA to reach out to a minimum of 100 middle school students... and teach them about rocket

Developing your recipe for success Food, Bioprocessing and Nutrition Sciences can help you market your culinary genius. Daniel Weikel Correspondent
What more does a divine recipe need to hit the shelves if it can already impress the appetites of those who taste it? The food science program can answer that. The Ent repreneurship Initiative for Food (EI4F) is there to help you make good ol’ granny’s sauce accessible to the public. With a variety of services and programs ranging from food analysis to workshops to help an aspiring recipe take to the shelves, EI4F is serious about turning family favorites into supermarket hits. The EI4F program is one of the many facets of the Department of Food, Bioprocessing and Nutrition Sciences. Its primary purpose is to provide a resource for people or companies who wish to jump into the food business. They cover every thing “from farm to fork,” accord-

One of the current students working in the lab with Arritt is Nick Fragedakis, a senior in food science. He said he benefits greatly from the experience with the program, as he is one of the first students to break his way into the lab. Arritt plans on bringing in more students as the program grows. According to Fragedakis, his work in the lab and office of the EI4F program has not only provided a realistic experience, but has complemented his education. The classroom covers the science of the food industry, but Fragedakis said his work experience has made him familiar with the laws and regulations that aren’t covered in class. For the amateur cook looking to break out into the business, the EI4F might be their recipe for success.

breaking his wrist in October, and the longtime headman said he knew it was just a matter of time before he broke through. “Mitch Sutton has been struggling all year with a broken wrist, he got it well, and then he shoots that 5-under round,” Sykes said. “That’s pretty strong. It’s pretty special, especially leading up to the conference championships next Friday.” The first tournament win for the men’s golf program since hosting the Wolfpack Intercollegiate in October of 2010 could not have come at a better time for Sykes’s group. “In the middle of March, we pitched two last-place finishes,” Sykes said. “And that wasn’t much fun. We’ve been on a steady climb since then with the second place finish last week and first place this week. I’m not surprised when they play well because they are all good players.” In McMillen’s last goaround under Sykes, getting a huge victory late in the season brings a smile to the Smithfield native’s face. “I don’t think we have pressure on us, but we needed to play well these last couple
I want it for them even more than I want it for myself” State defeated Clemson (8-13, 4-6 ACC) Sunday 4-3. The dramatics continued again for the Pack, having to come back from a 3-1 hole. The Wolfpack picked up the first point after winning doubles. Mudge and Pulgar were defeated in the first match 8-3 but the Pack rallied and won the next two matches 8-6, 9-8 (8-6). At the start of singles play, the Pack led most of the matches but watched their leads diminish and turn into points for the Tigers. Mudge, again, was the first to put a point on the board during singles play, winning in straight sets 6-3, 6-4. State cut the overall lead to 3-2, with Pulgar and Sullivan left to decide the outcome for the Pack. Sullivan looked in control during the first set of his match against Clemson junior Ayrton Wibowo, going up 5-2 after the first seven games of the set

Game Three N.C. State took the series from Clemson Sunday afternoon with a 6-3 win. State jumped out to take the 1-0 lead in the first inning on a sacrifice bunt from Mathews to bring home Diaz from third base. The lead increased to 2-0 when Canela drove in Turner on a groundout. The Tigers came back to tie things up 2-2, but the Red Terrors attacked again in the fifth. Canela hit a ground rule double to bring in the first run of the inning. Mathews followed up with another double to center field to bring in two more runs. Austin closed out the inning with a sacrifice fly to bring Mathews home and give State a 6-2 lead. Clemson was able to put up another run in the seventh, but the damage had been done by State as they took the 6-3 victory. “The guys played really well all weekend,” head coach Elliot Avent said. “This is a tough place to play and it always has been. It’s kind of been a bit of a nemesis for us in years past. But these guys came down here and played extremely well.”

Men’s golf claims Spring Open
Ryan Hill takes 1,500 meters in Chapel Hill
Defending home turf, N.C. State pulls out four-shot victory.
Redshirt junior Ryan Hill took first place in the men’s 1,500 meters at the Dick Tayler-Joe Hilton UNC Invitational at Irwin Belk Track on Saturday. Hill posted a 3:41.90 in the 1,500, only a sliver behind his school record of 3:40.22 he set in 2010. Although Hill was the only competitor to win an event, members of State’s men’s and women’s track teams placed 12 other athletes in the top three in the 23 events they competed in on Saturday.

another point. The final set was an epic battle, each player trading blows but Hodgson came out on top with a 6-4 victory. With the final team score tied at 3-3, the Pack’s fate was left in the hands of a freshman. “I knew it was going to come down to my match,” Powell said. “I really just wanted to win it for the guys.” Powel won the first set 6-4 against Georgia Tech junior Juan Melian but lost the second 3-6, forcing a tiebreaker. After falling behind in the third set, Powell won the next three games in the set in thrilling fashion to give State the win. “The main thing is keeping the team in mind,” Powel said. “I’m battling for the team and I’m not going to give up for those guys;
Standing outside of Lonnie Poole Golf Course, senior Mark McMillen paused slightly before summarizing the long-awaited feeling N.C. State has been searching all spring to find. “Relieved.” After trailing by two shots heading into the final round of the Wolfpack Spring Open, State utilized a 5-under 283 team score on Sunday to overcome Lamar and East Carolina. Needing positive momentum to earn a NCAA Regional bid, the home win arrived at the perfect time. Junior Mitch Sutton erupted for a final round 67 to catapult into second place individually for the tournament, and his play gave State a comfortable cushion during the final moments of the tournament. The last tournament the Wolfpack hosted at the par-72, 7,358-yard course was one to forget for Sutton, as he injured his wrist and was forced to withdraw just days before the team struggled to a seventh place finish. “It’s pretty awesome being able to come back to our home course and host our own tournament,” Sutton said. “Finally putting together a good tournament for myself really helped out the team.” The 67 is a collegiate best for the All-American, and as his senior teammates played one last tournament in Raleigh, McMillen echoed the team’s sentiments on Sutton. “He’s been getting back at it, and I thought he was close, but just wasn’t quite back yet,” McMillen said. “Today he showed that he is back.” Coach Richard Sykes has seen Sutton battle a lot of adversity after

The women’s softball team lost three consecutive games against the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill on Saturday and Sunday. After losing 8-0 and 5-0 on Saturday, the Wolfpack women took the Heels into the tenth inning on Sunday in the final game of the series. UNC’s offense stepped up again, however, after Carolina’s Ally Blake hit a home run in the extra inning for the walk-off 3-2 victory, sending the Pack home winless on the weekend. Source: N.C.

No. 42 N.C. State (18-8, 4-6 ACC) defeated Georgia Tech (911, 4-6 ACC) 4-3 Friday at Dail Outdoor Tennis Stadium. State failed to win the doubles point, losing all three matches; 8-3, 8-4 and 9-7. “They were much more energetic and amped up for doubles than we were,” head coach Jon Choboy said. Already down a point, State lost the first match during singles play. Even with concern about being in a 2-0 hole, the Pack would come out on top after clutch singles performances from freshman Austin Powell,

Hodgson had a grueling battle with Georgia Tech junior Juan Spir. The first set was won with ease by Spir 6-1. Hodgson came out swinging in the second, battling his way to a 6-5 set win. “It’s all about sticking with it and trying to break them down as much as you can,” Hodgson said. Pulgar lost his first set 6-4 to Georgia Tech senior Kevin King but followed with a 6-3 win in the second set. He closed out the match 6-0 in the tie final set, giving State

The No. 17 N.C. State (24-10, 11-7 ACC) baseball team defeated Clemson (20-17, 9-9 ACC) on the road Sunday, taking a threegame series from the Tigers.
Game One Clemson stole the first game of the series from the Wolfpack, winning 7-6 in a 12-inning battle. The Tigers came out of the gates with a roaring start at the plate, taking a 4-0 lead after three innings. However, the Pack would not go down quietly. Freshman Trea Turner led the sixth inning off for State with a single to center field. Freshman Brett Austin followed up with a walk. After a hit-by-pitch, the bases became loaded for junior Danny Canela. Canela came through for the
Wolfpack, knocking a two RBI the ACC single-game record for double to right field to cut the Ti- steals. “It’s pretty cool to have those gers’ lead in half.

Leone went 7.1 innings, allowing only three runs and striking out seven. Falling behind 1-0, the Pack tacked on its first runs of the game in the seventh inning. Redshirt senior Ryan Mathews got on base for State with a double to left center. After a strikeout, Ciencin hit an infield single to third base with no advance from Mathews. Both runners were put into scoring position on a groundout. Turner came through for the Wolfpack with a two-out double to right center field, bringing in two runs to give State a 2-1 lead. Senay increased the lead to 3-1 with an RBI double in the eighth inning, bringing home Canela. The score would be the eventual final, giving the Pack its first win of the series.
