The Raleigh City Council recently approved a ban on front yard parking in the Southwest Raleigh area. According to The News & Observer, the ban on front yard parking was initially projected to affect the entire city of Raleigh, but council members who supported the ban said a proposal of that scope would cause further debate and risk not being passed at all. Instead, the ban will limit front yard parking in the Southwest Raleigh district – that is, it is primarily aimed at reducing front yard parking in neighborhoods surrounding N.C. State, including those adjacent to Hillsborough Street and Tryon Road. According to the Raleigh Public Record, the Special Residential Parking Overlay District will apply to single-family houses that encircle the University. Some homeowners living in neighborhoods adjoining N.C. State’s campus have worked on and off for eight years trying to implement stricter penalties on people who park their cars on front lawns, according to The News & Observer. Tim McHugh, a senior in communication, lived in a house off of Hillsborough Street last year. He said he thought the ban was

Tim Gurganus from OIT Security and Compliance. About 55 students and faculty attended the presentation, “Reducing Risks to Cyber Attacks.” Gurganus said many were surprised to learn about the amount of malware that is created every day and sent through email. According to Gurganus, the university receives 400-4,000 phishing emails per day asking for university emails and passwords. According to Gurganus, the most vulnerable applications at N.C. State are Java, Adobe Reader, Flash Player, Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player. Gurganus said the best thing students can do to protect their devices is to patch Java and turn on automatic updates for applications like Java.
“In my analysis, 50 percent of virus infections could have been prevented if they [users] had patched Java,” Gurganus said. Furthermore, Gurganus said it takes more than the purchase of antivirus software to protect against malware. In his presentation, Gurganus pointed to a study by the University of Alabama at Birmingham which showed that antivirus software defended against approximately 25 percent of malware infections that came from email. Five days later, the software protected 75 percent of malware ñ which, Gurganus said, is still not an acceptable percentage. “One of the challenges is that the malware changes very often,” Gurganus said. “100,000 to 200,000 vi-

National Cyber Security Awareness Month is in full swing at N.C. State for the ninth consecutive year this October. Sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security and the National Cyber Security Alliance, the month aims to promote understanding of cyber security and show the public how to prevent information technology security issues. According to the Office of Information Technology, the university’s theme for this October is entitled “U R Cyber Security.” The theme highlights the need for students and faculty to take action to achieve cyber security. A university press release about the event said many cyber security related problems are a result of human action. According to a Cisco Connected World Technology report cited in the release, more than half of university students and workers surveyed showed a lack of regard for corporate information and engaged in actions inconsistent with company security polic[ies]. Mardecia Bell, director of OIT Security and Compliance, said the best way to improve campus cyber security is to inform students and faculty. “As technology improves, hackers become more creative in their attacks to gain sensitive information from campus users. If we learn how to protect our cyber space, including the devices and networks we use for connection, we can avoid the varying tactics used by hackers and ensure safer online activities for everyone,” Bell said in the release. The kickoff event for the month, which occurred on Oct. 2, featured

The Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University of Law recently created a student guide for voting in an attempt to combat voter apathy among college-aged students. The Brennan Center focuses on public policy, voting rights, democracy and justice. According to the center’s website, the main goal in the creation of the Brennan Center’s student voting guide was to help voters understand the different state laws and rules about how to register and vote. The guide is d iv ided by state and helps simplify the rules regarding residency, registration, identification and the process for absentee voting. While voter apathy among college-aged students decreased during the 2008 elections, it remains an issue, according to associate professor of political science, Michael Cobb. “When it comes to voting, some of it has to do with the belief that voting is a civic duty, but college students aren’t as likely to think this way,” Cobb said. “There are also institutional barriers to it. We have to register
ourselves to vote, not the government, so to begin voting, we have to want to vote. And, if you don’t establish that habit of voting, it’s just another hurdle you have to jump for voting.” Cobb said voter apathy is closely correlated with a student’s knowledge and interest in politics. Voter turnout in this demographic has increased when topics such as the economy or the wars with Afghanistan and Iraq have been part of a party’s platform. Earlier this year, changes to voting laws were being implemented in ways that could have potentially affected voters from the elderly, minorit y and student demographics. Many of these laws required voters to present picture IDs at the polls, shortened the time for early voting and made it more difficult for college students to obtain absentee ballots. These laws were mainly implemented by Republican congressmen in an attempt to fight voter fraud, but some voting rights advocates see this instead as voter suppression targeting main Democratic demographics. Peter Wright, a freshman in computer science, said he is one of that number.

Fashion dream made reality for alumni Andrea Danchi Staff Writer
Many students spend their college years chasing dreams and goals despite odds and obstacles. Victor and Sarah Lytvinenko had a dream in 2007 when they started their jeans company, Raleigh Denim. Five years later, the two former N.C. State students are living a real-life success story that has inspired many, one that continues to spark innovation within the Triangle area. Victor and Sarah started making jeans as a personal project in a two-person micro-factory they created in their apartment on Oberlin Road in 2007. “It was the smallest, maybe cheapest apartment in Raleigh,” Victor said. When friends started asking if they could buy the jeans, the Lytvinenkos knew that they had a product other people wanted. So they ran with it. They showcased their work at the 2007 Raleigh SparkCon fashion show, which led to their company’s first real break. Barney’s department store in New York City commissioned 114 pairs of jeans in 2008. Finally, in 2010, they opened a real factory and store, the Curatory, in Raleigh’s Warehouse District. Since then, Raleigh Denim, now renamed Raleigh,
has jumped into the fashion spotlight. In February the Lytvinenkos made their first major fashion debut, showcasing their line at New York’s Fashion Week. At that time they were considering opening a store in New York City as well. Now, eight months later, they have presented their brand new Spring/ Summer 2013 collection at New York Fashion Week for a second time, and the store they were considering opening is now a reality. That store is a boutique called Raleigh located in the Nolita (North of Little Italy) neighborhood in Lower Manhattan. The Lytvinenkos designed it with Rem Koolhaas’ Design firm OMA to reflect their factory here. The brand new store was featured in the New York Times on Sept. 13, the same month it opened. Since 2009, the company has grown from five employees to 27, and each pair of jeans Raleigh produces sells for between $215 and $325 in stores around the world. Their expanded line also includes dresses, skirts, blouses, and many other new products. What has made the work of these young designers so successful, especially in this economy? Raleigh’s products are as American-made and homemade as it gets. They partner with Cone Mills factory in White Oak, N.C. to

ridiculous in a number of ways. “Coming from someone who lived behind Hillsborough Street, I find the ban obnoxious,” McHugh said. “The families that lived around me on Daisy Street never complained; sounds like one person complained too much, causing the rest of us to suffer.” The ban has received mixed reviews, according to The News & Observer, which noted that no landlords or property rights activists appeared at the council meeting to voice their opinions about government infringement. Homeowners in support of the front yard parking ban think the ordinance is necessary to improve the quality of neighborhoods around the city. According to The News & Observer, one 71-year-old retired teacher living off Tryon Road said she felt as though
the offenders brought down their neighborhoods by parking all over the yard. She also noted that college students are not the only people who park cars on the lawns. McHugh said he t hinks t he ba n is i rritating because people who pay rent or own their own property should not be told that they are not allowed to park in their yard. “Parking in the yard is equal to freedom of speech,” McHugh said. While supporters of the ordinance argue the ban will enhance the appearance and quality of neighborhoods surrounding N.C. State’s campus, some landlords believe the changes required by the ordinance, like

answer many of the questions college-aged voters like Wright have about the voting process. With regard to identification, the student voting guide notes that while North Carolina voters do not need to show identification at the polls, there are some exceptional cases that do require it. If those individuals cannot show the required identification, they will vote only on a provisional ballot, which will be counted if the required identification is shown to the county board of elections within 10 days after the election. As for early voting, North Carolina’s early voting process, called “One-Stop Absentee” voting, begins the third Thursday before an election and ends on the Saturday before Election Day.
of building their own company. Many of the techniques, machines and skills that they utilize in their manufacturing process were on the verge of extinction. They are not just living the American dream — they are also placing the American stamp back on textiles in North Carolina. The Ly t v inenkos have said that their company has grown much quicker than they ever imagined it would. However, they say they will
never outgrow their commitment to their original vision. “We still pay complete attention to craft and quality,” Victor said. “We wouldn’t have expanded if we knew we couldn’t keep that.” Victor and Sarah personally sign their names on the inside of each pair of jeans their factory makes. “We’re finally in the place where we can do what we really want to do,” Victor said. As former N.C. State stu-
dents who are now achieving their own dreams, the Lytvinenkos urge current students to follow their own dreams. “Just go for it,” Victor said. “When you like something, you go for it. You may be successful and you may not, but either way, it will inform your next decision.”

The dead come to life in downtown Raleigh Kaitlin Montgomery Staff Writer
The infection is spreading, and for the first time ever Downtown Raleigh will be plagued by zombies. Gumption, an event-planning company that partners with local businesses and charities, will lead the invasion. For one night Raleigh will be crawling with the undead partying at a festival that can only be described in one word: killer. Aviva Imbrey and Andres Martin, co-founders of Gumption, say they have spent countless hours planning all the deadly details for their zombie invasion. “Raleigh Living Dead is a great opportunity for us to showcase lots of businesses from across downtown as well as some food trucks that aren’t usually local to Raleigh,” Martin said. “We’re also supporting two great nonprofits, which are Raleigh Jaycees and Legacy Event Planners.” Imbrey, an N.C. State College of Design grad, said the key to putting on a ghoulish event like Raleigh Living Dead is creativity. “With me being from design school, my passion is creativity, and so a big part of Raleigh Living Dead is that creativity,” Imbrey said. “It’s a great place to showcase the energy and talent here in Raleigh. We have circus performers, a zombie fashion show, a design challenge obstacle course, our ‘Zombie Olympics’ — we have a lot of unique ways planned to showcase what’s going on in Raleigh.” Imbrey and Martin say Raleigh Living Dead marks the first time a Halloween celebration of this magnitude has captured Raleigh. “Raleigh Living Dead is Raleigh’s Halloween festival,” Martin said. “We want the huge N.C. State student

population to come out and experience a good, safe Halloween that is full of fun activities, sights, and wonderful music and bands that are unique to Raleigh.” Through Raleigh Living Dead, Imbrey and Martin hope to attract the undead and up-all-night crowd of N.C. State and want Raleigh Living Dead to be N.C. State’s version of Franklin Street. “We’re going to have craft vendors, food vendors, Pickle Mamas doing hula hoop shows — it’s going to be a mixture of Halloween, circus and zombies,” Martin said. Raleigh Living Dead accomplishes the best of both worlds by offering daytime activities for families with children and leaving the wee hours for roaming spooks. “We’re working with the Performing Arts Center,” Imbrey said. “They have an event in the morning called ARTStober, and after their event around 4 p.m., all of their people are going to dance the ‘Thriller’ over to our event. From 4-7 p.m., Raleigh Living Dead is going to be pretty family-oriented. It will then transition into an adult party as darkness falls. N.C. State has ties to Raleigh Living Dead beyond Imbrey’s design degree. Fusion Dance Crew will be roaming around the party of the undead. Kelly Bachman, a junior in communication, has spearheaded Fusion’s role in Raleigh Living Dead. “Fusion is going to be hosting our ‘Zombie Dance Camp’ where festival goers

can learn Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ dance before participating in a street-wide flash mob of the song,” Bachman said. “Fusion will also be performing a dance of their own, and much like many other performers at the festival, Fusion dancers will arrive at Raleigh Living Dead dressed as zombies.” The streets of Downtown Raleigh will be crawling with zombies the night of Raleigh Living Dead, but that doesn’t mean that festival-goers have to dress to fit the zombie part. Martin stressed that just because the festival and entertainment is zombie-themed doesn’t mean a zombie is the only costume option. The bottom line is it’s a Halloween festival, and all ghouls are welcome — costume or no costume. “The way we look at it is if we could live one night undead ... you’d be the afterlife of the party,” Martin said. Martin and Imbrey have high hopes for the festival. If all goes well, Raleigh Living
Dead could become the annual Halloween party for the Raleigh area. “The largest goal is creating a tradition in Raleigh and creating this tradition every year,” Imbrey said. “If Chapel Hill can create a tradition of college students just drinking and walking up and down the street, why can’t we create a tradition of a fantastic festival that showcases everything that Raleigh has, has an amazing theme, is welcome to all ages, happens every single year and gives back to organizations? This is the tradition we want to create.” Through Gumption, Imbrey and Martin want Raleigh Living Dead to one-up Chapel Hill’s Franklin Street and help Raleigh create a party all its own. “Why should Carolina have all the fun with Halloween?” Martin said. “Raleigh Living Dead is literally going to be killer.”

CityFabric success spans from Triange to west coast Young Lee Associate Features Editor
All around campus and areas surrounding downtown Raleigh, the sounds of construction fill the air. Near campus, the frames of new apartment complexes around Cameron Village and Glenwood South continue to rise. According to Matt Tomasulo, N.C. State alumn and founder of CityFabric,
these new additions around the city have the potential to increase the population by 30 percent. These changes could mean that many people around Raleigh will start living closer together and interacting with each other more often. In the midst of these changes, Tomasulo said that another movement is spreading around many young professionals and college students
living in the Triangle. “The younger generation is looking for flexibility, looking for that choice to walk down the street to grab a drink, to grab some food and to not have to solely rely on their car for every trip and so that’s a lot of what this is,” Tomasulo said. With these desires in mind, Tomasulo, who was inspired in part by a 2002 study abroad trip to Copenhagen, Den-

mark, ignited two projects with a similar philosophy — to inspire conversation about the place of pedestrians in city life. Last year, using crowd funding through Kickstarter, Tomasulo decided to spur conversation through his “Wear You Live” campaign in which he hoped would provide the means to offer shirts and tote bags in 13 different cities with maps of each respective city’s downtown area printed on them. His Kickstarter campaign, which had a goal of $13,000 for each city, garnered more than $36,000 — almost triple his goal. “The map is more of a dialogue piece for people,” Tomasulo said. “Not only show civic pride, but also, the map is much more articulate than pretty much any other map you’ll see out there because you’ll see physical points of interest. So people really love showing and telling their story even if they don’t live in it — people get to talk about the downtown and where it is.” CityFabric, which as testament to the desire of many to participate in Tomasulo’s conversation, turned a profit within six months and continues to sell these dialogue pieces. According to Tomasulo, CityFabric has grown in other ways and continues to do so. CityFabric added Los
Angeles and Portland, Oregon to their offers this year, and according to Tomasulo, hopes to begin offering large canvases with prints of cities on them. With the desire to bring pedestrians into the conversation, Tomasulo also began placing signs informing pedestrians of the time it takes to walk to various landmarks around the city last year as a part of his newest program, Walk Raleigh. “It’s about that idea of valuing pedestrians and people at the same level as automobiles when it comes to the street,” Tomasulo said. “The fact that there is so much energy and excitement colliding with spontaneous events on the streets when people live closer together and having a choice to walk. That’s a really big thing that’s going to be tied into this platform — the choice to walk.” According to Tomasulo, his two projects have seemingly changed the conversation in Raleigh for the better — even when Walk Raleigh faced some of its greatest challenges. When Walk Raleigh was featured on the BBC this past spring, reporters called in to ask the city council if Tomasulo’s signs were sanctioned by the city. When the council replied in the negative, the legality of Tomasulo’s signs came into question. Later,
city officials had the signs taken down. However, this obstacle turned into what he considers one of the most encouraging signs of change. “There was such an uproar that the City Planning Department presented it to the City Council and they voted the signs in as a pilot educational program for the city,” Tomasulo said. “Those meetings are typically very structured, and it’s very set in what they talked about. But during the conversation about Walk Raleigh, they started talking about pedestrian safety, accidents, health and they started talking about all these different issues that had kind of been neglected ... That elected public officials were talking about it without any sort of prodding, that was really the main idea [of Walk Raleigh].” Now that Tomasulo has graduated, he is able to spend much more of his time with his CityFabric project. The company, which hired its f irst full-time employee during the past few weeks, plans to move out of Tomasulo’s apartment within a few months. “CityFabric will be the overarching brand,” Tomasulo said. “It’s stitching together people and places through civic and social innovation and design.”

The war on guns
M
ost of us remember from high school U.S. history that the Second Amendment protects Americans’ right to bear arms. ApRoss parently our Bradley Congressmen Guest Columnist have forgotten that lesson since their time in school. Recently there have been many gun-related deaths around the nation which have brought our Second Amendment right into questioning. How can we be safe with guns everywhere? Surely if we take away everyone’s right to have a gun we’d be much safer, right? Wrong. Anyone who walks on campus, or into a bank or movie theater sees the signs that say no guns permitted, not even concealed carry. Surely everyday citizens who see these signs will abide by them, but why are those signs up in the first place? Banks have been robbed since they were first established. Schools filled with innocent children are no place for guns, especially after incidents like the 1999 shooting at Columbine. And after James Holmes opened fire in Aurora, Colorado during the premiere of the Batman film, having gun laws in
all these places makes is just common sense, right? Consider why these laws are implemented and who they truly affect. The Crime Control Act of 1990 was passed to create gun-free school zones. When looking at the purpose of these gun laws, they look like great ideas, but what good are they? These laws are put into place to stop crimes right? But who commits crimes? Criminals! Since when did they start following the law? These laws prohibit average citizens from being able to protect themselves in these types of environments. Many thieves are for gun control because that increases the chance that whomever they are about to rob is unarmed. These laws stop typical citizens from protecting themselves but do not affect criminals at all. They are already planning on breaking the law when t hey decide to go into these schools, banks and theaters. In fact, this helps them c ho o s e t he i r targets. How many
times have you heard of someone robbing or shooting up a gun store in the middle of the day? Keeping citizens prepared for anything is the best form of protection. If anyone in that theater in Aurora had a gun, I believe that Holmes would have gotten fewer shots off and it would have saved lives. There are and will always be bad people in the world and it’s our right to be able to defend ourselves from them at any given time. The average response time for a high priority emergency call is just over 10 minutes, where a .357 magnum fires at 1400 feet per second. I’d rather have my safety in my own hands than in the hands of someone I’ve never met who won’t be right at my side the second violence erupts. How can we as Americans say we are free when we aren’t even free to protect ourselves?
T
tax did not even exist. But economics aside, should you really feel like you are doing a good deed by paying taxes? Should tax evaders be treated as criminals who aren’t contributing to society? I say no. Let me illustrate: Imagine you have two neighbors — Jack and Jill. Jack has recently been diagnosed with a fatal form of cancer, and he is having trouble paying all of his medical bills. Because Jack has always been a good neighbor and a friend to everyone in the community, the entire neighborhood pitches in to help him out. That is, everyone except Jill. You ponder over this, because you know Jill could easily afford to spare a few bucks to help out a friend. You question and question, begging her to help Jack out, but she refuses. Jill simply will not give up her hardearned money. Flushed with anger, the entire community gathers around Jill’s house and demands that she contribute — or else! Under duress, she finally complies and gives Jack some money, for which he is

Are we right about rights? “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
T
his statement from the Declaration of Independence is perhaps one of the most recognizable strings of words in our nation. Everyone knows what it’s about Joshua Chen and where it’s Guest from — but Columnist do people today really understand what it says? The answer to this question is a resounding no. Everything seems to be a “right” in its own these days. Goods and services such as healthcare, education and even housing are heralded as essential rights, deserved by all and unmerited by none. After all, these things — healthcare, education and housing — all go toward the Life, Liberty and pursuit of Happiness listed in the Declaration, don’t they? And in many cases, these things are actual needs rather than superfluous wants. How could they not be rights of the People? In such cases, it would be wise to take a step back and consider what a “right” actually entails. Objectivist philosopher Dr. Leonard Peikoff observes that “all legitimate rights have one thing in common: they are rights to action, not to rewards from other people. The American rights impose no obligations on other people, merely the negative obligation to leave you alone. The system guarantees you the chance to work for what you want — not to be given it without effort by
somebody else.” So while we as Americans have the right to Life; to Liberty; to the pursuit of Happiness — we are free to exercise these rights wherever and whenever we please in our nation — we are not entitled to the goods and services of others. We cannot say that just because person A is in need of what person B has, that person B must set aside his or her own interests for “the good of the whole.” This would be a direct violation of person B’s r ig ht s. It would be immoral to deprive the rights of one to compensate for the needs of another. There is a clear distinction between a right and a need: Rights encompass actions, or means to some ends independent of what everyone else is doing. Needs, on the other hand, come in the form of essential goods or services — which are produced by individuals acting upon their rights. To say that services such as healthcare and education are inherent human rights is to say that we have the right to the labor of the individuals who work in those fields. And thus, the rights of those individuals to their own lives,
liberties and pursuits of happiness must make way for the “rights” of those in need of their services. I think there’s a term for that: servitude. Government systems are no better. They merely shift and disseminate this burden from those offering the services to those paying the taxes. In such a system, a percentage of the benefits of labor or production of c apit a l by taxpayers is taken away from them in order to fulfill the needs of others. The former’s rights, then, are essentially v iolated. The Declaration of Independence holds Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness to be inalienable human rights. We are not guaranteed equal starting points, and we should not think that we are entitled to equal ends. But as Americans we have been endowed, by our Creator, with the inalienable Rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. The means of those — well, that’s up to us. Fulfilling these ideals for one group by cutting short the pursuits of another is in direct violation of the latter group’s rights, and simply cannot be viewed as anything else but immoral.
“We are not guaranteed equal starting points, and we should not think that we are entitled to equal ends.”
Struggling against debt
T
Rethinking taxes he income tax. We all hate it. And yet it seems as though there is some aura of virtuousness in the thought that your money is being put toward t hi ngs l i ke Aaron Cartrette healthcare, Guest Columnist education a nd i n f r astructure. I mean, without income taxes, the sick and the elderly would all be laid out, dying in the streets of the cold, dark, dog-eat-dog world where only the rich survive at the expense of the poor, right? There are a couple of things wrong with this picture, including the fact that for the majority of American history, there was no federal income tax at all. In fact, until the year 1913, such a tax was vehemently opposed, not to mention labeled unconstitutional. But prior to the advent of the income tax, the earth did not fly off of its axis and go tumbling into the sun — with chaos and terror in the streets. Actually, the industrial revolution, the greatest period of economic expansion in history for the middle class, occurred during a period of time when the income

very grateful as always. Was this an acceptable response to Jill’s unwillingness to pay up? Most reasonable people would say no. In fact, most reasonable people would recognize this as extortion and demand that this angry mob be brought to justice. However, fundamentally, this is no different than imposing an income tax on Jill, with a threat of jail time if she doesn’t comply. To which I ask again, is this an acceptable way to induce cooperation in society? “Okay, so what’s your point?” you may ask. My point is simple: argue if you must, that income taxes are a necessary evil. However, in recognizing that they are in fact evil, maybe we should at least reconsider what role they play in our society. In response to the frequently cited statistic that “only 47 percent of Americans pay income taxes,” I quote former Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul in saying, “Great! We’re halfway there!”
he federal debt is a crime against college students and recent graduates. Americans born around 1990 are heading into Jason the workforce Cockrell Guest Columnist this year with several times more debt than their parents had at the same age. Currently, the U.S. government owes over $16 trillion, up $6 trillion from 2008 and $10 trillion from 2000. The millennial generation will be expected to pay for this debt even though they did not vote on the policies that created it. Young Americans fighting for prosperity and progress are running on a treadmill on which every attmept to move forward is met with a backward drag by debt. So far this fiscal year, 343 billion tax dollars have been spent simply on interest to maintain the existing debt. This money does not fund programs like Medicare, nor does it fund services like road construction. This is $343 billion in pure interest t
hat taxpayers lose every year. Americans cannot afford to continue to pay more and more taxes without receiving services and benefits back. As the debt gets bigger, it pulls more of us down. Tackling the monstrous debt situation w i l l require a change in attitudes and ideas regarding spending. Currently, the government uses a severely misguided budgeting strategy known as baseline budgeting. Under baseline budgeting, the budget of each department or program for each year is assumed to be equal to the budget for the previous year plus a built-in projected increase. Negotiations are then made with respect to this assumption that spending will always increase. Therefore, a budget allocation of “zero” means that a department’s funding actually increased by the projected amount. Even a “cut” to the baseline could still represent
an increase in spending from the previous year. In order to bring the debt down, voters must learn to reinterpret how the government talks about budgeting. It is just not enough to make cuts to a projected increase. We must settle for nothing less than a real, significant and immediate reduction in the actual number of dollars the government spends. At this time, the government would need to cut about $1.3 trillion in spending just to balance expenditures with revenues. More cuts will be needed in the future in order to pay down the debt and help our country begin to heal.

ACC
continued from page 1
“Like a big bad wolf I’m born to be bad and bad to the bone/If you fall for me I’m only gonna tear you apart/ Told you from the start.” It’s only fitting that N.C. State crushed Florida State’s lofty hopes and dreams after all of the trouble State has given the ëNoles over the years. Not only does the Wolfpack get a bye week to settle down before attempting to win its first Atlantic Division road game since 2005, but Tom O’Brien’s team is right back in the ACC race.

to a 56-41 victory. Yes, if you’re a ranked opponent with Carter-Finley as the next destination on the schedule, you shouldn’t overlook the Wolfpack. But, if State does manage to pull out an upset, be ready for the hangover. Three games definitely don’t indicate a pattern in the larger context of the pro-
seems to stand in my way/ Cause no one no not no one/ Likes to be let down.” Wake is another team in the ACC that will be watching from its couch this weekend, and perhaps that is for the best. Being 11th in scoring offense and 10th in scoring defense for the conference is not a recipe for getting to a bowl game, as evidenced by losses to both Duke and Maryland.
COASTAL DIVISION Duke (5-1, 2-0 ACC) - “I’m Not Gonna Cry” by Corey Smith “The whole town gathered around/Waited 18 years now it’s all comin down to this/I scanned the crowd and it fills my soul.” Barring an epic collapse, 18 years of humiliation is going to come to an end over
gram or the O’Brien era, but they do give the team relevant points of reference to avoid a slump or ride-the-hype. Two out of three of the ‘hangover’ games ended in a loss, but the Pack did pull out the comeback over Maryland with graduate student quarterback Mike Glennon as the signalcaller. But, another stat that adds to the possibility of a big game hangover, State hasn’t defeated Maryland in College Park, Md. since 2004.

in Durham. Out of all the places the bowl-less streak could come to an end, who ever thought Lane Stadium could actually be a realistic venue? The Hokies (3-3) aren’t penciling in a win this season. Georgia Tech (2-4, 1-3 ACC) - “Get Out Alive” by Three Days Grace “If I stay it won’t be long/’Til I’m burning on the inside/If I go I can only hope/That I make it to the other side/If you want to get out alive/Whoa-oh, run for your life.” The Jackets get a bye week and then a home game against Boston College, but fighting to bowl eligibility is going to be a difficult battle after that honey moon; Tech still has to visit Maryland, North Carolina and No. 14 Georgia.
COACH
continued from page 8
Germany still wasn’t over, Farmer flew to Los Angeles for 3 days to interview and was hired as an assistant. He then flew back to Europe to finish the season out before assuming his coaching duties. “That’s why my coaching career got started a little sooner,” Farmer said. “I had always planned to
Miami (4-2, 3-0 ACC) - “Good Enough” by Lifehouse “Lets put our differences aside, wanted to make you proud/But I just got in your way, I found a place that I can hide/Now everything is changing, but I still feel the same.” In the ACC, Miami boasts a 3-0 record and has a reasonable opportunity to make it to Charlotte. Outside of the ACC, Miami has been outscored 93-16 and doesn’t belong within a several mile radius of a good football team. Thankfully, the ëCanes play in the ACC.

For bowl ineligible UNC, running past opponents can only set up success in seasons other than this one.
Virginia Tech (3-3, 1-1 ACC) - “I Need a Doctor” by Eminem and Dr. Dre “I’m about to lose my mind/You’ve been gone for so long/I’m running out of time/I need a doctor/Call me a doctor/I need a doctor, doctor to bring me back to life.”
Virginia (2-4, 0-2 ACC) - “Give it Away” by George Strait “Just give it away/There ain’t nothin’ in this house worth fightin’ over/Oh, and we’re both tired of fightin’ anyway/So just give it away.”
Virginia Tech’s lead rusher is averaging less than 40 yards per game and the defense just gave up 339 rushing yards to Carolina. For the first time since 2003, it appears the Hokies are going to fall short of a double digit win total.
North Carolina (4-2, 1-1 ACC) - “Run to You” by Lady Antebellum “When lies become the truth/That’s when I run to you/This world keeps spin-

be a high school coach for a while and try to work my way up, but circumstances dictated differently.” Farmer remained on staff as an assistant until the 198182 season when he took over the head coaching position. While he was head coach, he recruited a young shooter from Southern California named Jeff Dunlap, N.C. State’s current director of operations. The pair later joined forces as coaches. Farmer hired Dunlap as an assistant
at Loyola-Chicago and each served as assistant coaches at Western Michigan during the 2010-11 campaign. Remaining close to the UCLA program, Farmer also met a young assistant coach that served under Jim Harrick during the late 80s and early 90s — current N.C. State head coach Mark Gottfried. These 2 relationships put Farmer in prime position to once again join a school that has been in the college bas-

I can tell you that from experience.”

From west coast to Tobacco Road Soccer hosts Duke Thursday on Breast Cancer Awareness Night N.C. State will host its annual breast cancer awareness game this Thursday when Duke comes to town for a 7 p.m. ACC contest that is featured on ESPN3. The pink themed event will have representation from the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, REX Healthcare and Zeta Tau Alpha will be in attendance to pass out promotional items like Kay Yow pink bracelets, ribbons and yogurt. Last Sunday the Wolfpack ended up on the short end of a 3-0 setback to No. 9 Maryland. N.C. State freshman keeper Madison Shaw made her first collegiate start and had 17 saves in the match, a figure that was just two short of the school record set 25 years ago. The Pack hits the road for a set of three matches, beginning with a Sunday afternoon affair at Boston College at 1 p.m. SOURCE: N.C. STATE ATHLETICS
Women’s tennis returns from USTA College Invitational The N.C. State women’s tennis team competed at the 2012 National College Women’s Invitational last weekend, as 7 members of the Wolfpack competed in separate singles and doubles flights. Sophomore Elisha Hande had one of the strongest showings for the Pack, as she recorded four victories to win her singles flight. The Cheltenham, England native defeated Army’s Jamila Paul, 6-3, 6-1, in the first round and Princeton’s Katie Goepel, 6-1, 6-2, in the quarterfinals, before defeating Columbia’s Lauren Stratman, 6-4, 6-3, in the semifinals. Hande went on to defeat Boston College’s Katja Vasilyev, 6-4, 6-3, in the finals to win the flight. In doubles action, the team of junior Christy Sipes and sophomore Sophie Nelson picked up two victories in the main draw of their flight. The duo cruised to an 8-1 victory over Camila Diaz and Shivani Patel of St. Francis (Pa.) and followed up with an 8-3 win against Columbia’s Amy Li and Crystal Leung. Sipes and Nelson unfortunately lost a hard-fought, 8-6, battle to Brown’s Sarah Kandath and Laura Wiley in the semifinals. The Pack returns to action at ITA Regionals Oct. 18-20 in Winston-Salem, N.C.

ATLANTIC DIVISION Boston College (1-4, 0-2 ACC) - “Firefly” by Breaking Benjamin “But I caught your lie/And you know I did/Now I’m lost in you/ Like I always do/And I’d die to win/’Cause I’m born to lose.” Florida State quarterback E.J. Manuel called them a “good Boston College team,” but the Eagles are an absolute grease fire. Unable to run the ball (113th nationally) or stop the run (121st nationally), BC’s disastrous loss to Army should open the flood gates on an eventual coaching search. No. 13 Clemson (5-1, 2-1 ACC) - “Walking in the Air” by Nightwish “We’re walking in the air/ We’re f loating in the moonlit sky/The people far below are sleeping as we fly.” The Tigers will be sending their fellow textile powerhouse a Christmas card this year after N.C. State knocked off FSU and put Clemson right back in the Atlantic Division race, despite
sleepwalking past Georgia Tech. No. 12 Florida State (5-1, 2-1 ACC) - “Brick by Boring Brick” by Paramore “But it was a trick/And the clock struck twelve/Well make sure to build your house brick by boring brick/Or the wolf ’s gonna blow it down.” Poor offensive line play and questionable coaching decisions exposed FSU for what the program has been about during the past decade — superior talent and inferior mental toughness. With the departure of the Seminoles from National Title contention, the conference can wave goodbye to nationally relevant football games in 2012. Maryland (3-2, 1-0 ACC) - “Don’t Let Me Down” by The Beatles “I’m in love for the first time/ Don’t you know it’s gonna last/It’s a love that lasts forever/It’s a love that had no past/Don’t let me down, don’t let me down.” In the turtle race that the ACC is, can the Terrapins surprise everyone and hold onto their lead in the Atlantic? Since they can’t run the football whatsoever (122nd in the country for yards per carry) and are led mostly by freshmen, don’t take the bait on Maryland. N.C. State (4-2, 1-1 ACC) - “Break Your Heart” by Taio Cruz

what he did against UCLA. They had a really special team.” “When I saw them play on television before we played them, I was very concerned because they looked like the kind of team that could give us problems,” Farmer said, chuckling. “And they did.” Following his single season as a graduate assistant, Farmer returned to playing professionally. He signed with a team in Germany and was having a spectacular season. He was already making plans to play the following season in Belgium, where
there would be more competition and higher pay. That’s when coach Wooden retired following his 10th national title. Gene Bartow took over the Bruins and began looking for an assistant. His criteria? A recently graduated UCLA player that had previous coaching experience. “I fell right into that category having just been the graduate assistant,” Farmer said. Though the basketball season in

COMMENTARY
Carter-Finley hangover
F
ollowing a big win, it’s common for a team to experience a hangover. I’m not sayi ng t hat you shou ldn’t get your hopes up after the N.C. State football team pulled out Jeniece a n u ndoubtJamison edly huge win Sports Editor against No. 3 Florida State at Carter-Finley, but you should look at the win realistically. Head Coach Tom O’Brien is no stranger to this sensation — he notably has Florida State’s number. Let’s take a look back at how the Pack has handled the morning after a signature win. During the 2009 campaign, the Pack defeated the Pittsburgh Panthers, 38-31, at Carter-Finley. The Panthers weren’t ranked at the time of the game but received 91 AP top-25 votes that week. They also finished the season at No. 15 on the AP top-25 list. A week later, State lost its bout against Wake Forest, 30-24, in Winston-Salem. State finished the season below .500, with a 5-7 record. The 2010 season brought another upset into Carter-Finley Stadium. The Pack defeated No. 16 Florida State, 28-24, after

coming off a disappointing loss to East Carolina. The win was capped with a touchdown pass from former State quarterback Russell Wilson to former tight end George Bryan with two minutes left on the clock. But, when the Pack went into Death Valley a week later, it fell victim to the hangover as it lost to the Clemson Tigers, 14-13. To add insult to injury, State only mustered 63 total rushing yards in the game, averaging 2.2 yards per rush. Also, in the week leading up to the game, State was ranked No. 25 in the nation. Needless to say, that was short lived. Last season, the Pack routed the No. 7 Clemson Tigers, 37-13, in its first win over a top-10 team since 2005. The loss also ended the Tigers chances of going to the ACC title game and put them out of the running for a BCS bid. In that matchup, State scored 27 unanswered points, former Pack wide receiver T.J. Graham broke the ACC record in alltime kickoff return yards and junior cornerback David Amerson tied the conference record in interceptions with 11. The Pack’s next matchup came against the Maryland Terrapins. State actually took care of business this time. It scored 42 unanswered points after trailing, 41-14, en route
