Greene, Burriss kicked off team Jeniece Jamison Sports Editor

Redshirt sophomore running back Mustafa Greene and redshirt freshman wide receiver Tyrrell Burriss have been permanently dismissed from the football program. In the postgame press conference following the Wolfpack’s win over Maryland in College Park, Md., Head Coach Tom O’Brien said the two were not champions in the classroom or in the community. Greene previously served suspensions in his two and a half seasons with the program. Prior to the beginning of the current campaign, he was suspended during spring practice and preseason workouts. He was held out of the spring game and academic issues delayed his return to the field until August. In February 2012, Greene was charged with six traffic violations in Rowan County and missed his court date. Legal troubles continued for Greene as he faced misdemeanor drug paraphernalia charges on April 2 in Wake County. His traffic issues have been resolved and his court date in Wake County is set for June 7, 2013, according to the News and Observer. Following his initial return to the team Aug. 11, Greene expressed his gratitude for getting a second chance. “I’m just thankful to get a second opportunity to come back out here,” Greene said. “I’m glad that my teammates are welcoming me back and my coaches accepted me back.” Greene led the team in rushing his freshman year, pounding out 597 total yards on the season and tack-

State’s season opening loss against Tennessee in Atlanta, Ga. In his second outing of the season at Connecticut, Greene gained 48 yards on the ground. He led the Pack in rush-

Diversity Week returns with reason Megan Dunton Staff Writer

In light of hate incidents against African Americans and the GLBT community last year, N.C. State started an initiative to preserve and celebrate diversity for an entire week in October. Last week, the University celebrated its second installment of Diversity Week, and in many ways, was reminded of its importance and need on campus. Late Sunday night, Oct. 14, offensive word in the tunnel, “N*****f**.” Justine Hollingshead, director of the GLBT Center said the word highlighted the reason why students must be educated on diversity of races and lifestyles. “It sends a pretty clear message that one person does not feel that everyone is welcome here at N.C.

State,” Hollingshead said. Eric Dekker, a freshman majoring in industrial design, said he was disheartened by the words painted in the Free Expression tunnel. “Unfortunately, I feel like what was written in the free expression tunnel was a sad reminder of our ignorance in our community and the world,” Dekker said. “Some people will always try to view themselves as above others.” Diversity Week focused on cultural education, and students participated in activities and seminars put on by the Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity. The College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Poole College of Management worked to help put the week together. CHASS presented a discussion panel titled “Research and Underrepresented

The Wolfpack Hunger Games has been postponed until Thursday. The event, which will be hosted by Center for Student Leadership, Ethics and Public Service, was postponed to allow extra planning time for CSLEPS and to encourage a high attendance, according to Jessica Rose, director of hunger advocacy committee and junior in industrial engineering. The event originally was planned for Saturday on Harris Field was moved to Thursday Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. in Mann Hall room 404. The event is a kick-off for N.C. State’s food pantry, which

is opening in November, which will benefit staff members and students. These groups of three or more members can stack their collected food and will be judged on creativity and effort to win a prize. The group that collects the most food for the pantry will also receive a prize. A representative from Feed the Pack will be at the event to answer questions and talk about the new pantry. There will be refreshments, music, raffles and pumpkin-decorating. Students can get into the event for free if they bring a non-perishable food.

After 27 fairgoers were infected with E. Coli O157:H7 last year, fair officials took measures to rid the chances of contamination. According to Brian Long, press office director, officials created more separation between people and livestock competitions, reconfigured stabling, relocated food vendors and placed signs and lights at sanitation stations to encourage hand washing. They also prevented fairgoers from trekking through the same path as the animals. The state fair is not taking any chances after a 2-year-old died from complications of E. Coli and 106 became sick at a North Carolina county fair in early October last year. “We can never eliminate the risk,” Long said. “But we’ve tried to reduce the risk as much as possible.” Dr. Megan Davies, state epidemiologist with the N.C Division of Public Health, agrees. “While there is no way to completely eliminate the potential for exposure, the measures being implemented will minimize the risk,” Davies said. While Long said he is not aware of any illnesses, the bacteria can survive 10 days after contact. The State fair has a history of E. Coli outbreaks. In 2004, the petting zoo was linked to the hospitalization of more than 108 people, according to WRAL. In 2006, a pita stand was linked to infecting three fairgoers. Last year, state health officials cited human exposure to goats, pigs and sheep in the Kelley Livestock Building as the reason.

The state created a State Fair Study Commission and funded $206,000 for changes with state revenue taxes. The commission’s goal was to allow fairgoers to still be able to interact with the animals, while keeping people and competition livestock separated. They hired health experts, veterinarians and livestock handlers to evaluate the handling, transportation and exhibiting of more than 5,000 animals. Children are most likely to be infected. Out of the 106 infected with E. Coli at the county fair, 64 of them were children. At last year’s state fair, three children out of five were hospitalized. Two-yearold Hunter Tallent spent 16 days in a Duke University Hospital in Durham with two failed kidneys. Davies said though children are more susceptible to E. Coli infection, they are often more resilient than adults once battling the infection.

The petting-zoo E. Coli infection in 2004 caused the parents of 14 children who became seriously ill to sue the state for failing to inform fairgoers about the known risk. The state fair added some preventive measures to reduce the risk of infections, such as new kid-height handwashing stations that look like water fountains. Following the 2004 infections, fairgoers are no longer allowed in the pens with animals, because children were being knocked down by aggressive goats and landing in feces. The old milk parlor in the Graham Building was banned. Visitors can now watch the milking process at the mobile milking parlor as a dairyman explains with a live cow. Visitors are not allowed to walk past the metal pens and pet the cows as they wait for judging.

money that was granted to the Minority Engineering Programs will mainly fund their Summer Transition Program and Student Advancement and Retention Teams. The programs help African American, Hispanic and Native American students transition to college and then navigate from their freshman to their senior years, Daniel said. “There is a great effort in engineering that engineers are more representative of society and so the recruitment and retention of underrepresented groups is very important both for the College of Engineering and corporations,” Baucom said. According to a brochure from the Office of Minority Engineering Programs, the Summer Transition Program is a six-week session that annually selects

just talked about in one week, but that it is talked about over a course of time,” Hollingshead said. “I think that’s what we were building on in the second annual Diversity Education Week. Students were very much a part of that process.” This year’s Diversity Week coincides with the first anniversary of the vandalizing of the GLBT Center, when vandals stray-painted “burn” and “die” on a bulletin board of the center in Harrelson Hall. “I think it’s fitting that this is Diversity Week as well,” Hollingshead said. “It helps to provide that support for the GLBT community through the ‘I Heart Diversity’ T-shirt Day and the other events.

Encouraging people to support the GLBT community has been very helpful for the ongoing process of healing from the incident that happened last year.” However, some students used this incident as an opportunity to show how much N.C. State has grown as a community that supports diversity. Hollingshead said the perfect outcome of Diversity Week would be to have the conversation continue all year through more speaker sessions and more activities that explore diversity for students. Hollingshead said she would also like students to take what they learned from Diversity Week and apply it to the University’s campus.

50 students to earn college credits during the summer, while also allowing them to live in a residence hall and adjust to university life. The START program provides minority students with “big brothers and big sisters” that serve as mentors to the students and make the college experience much more intimate, Daniel said. The mentors receive a stipend for volunteering and also receive money to do social activities, like going to the movies and getting pizza, with their mentees, Daniel said. Of ten, these programs assist students in deciding whether they would like to come to the University to pursue their undergraduate engineering degrees, according to Daniel. A lot of these students come from different backgrounds and small, rural communities, so the sheer size of the student population at N.C. State can be overwhelming, Daniel said. “It is good to have these types of programs to help

them figure things out. For a lot of minorities it is just a different world,” Daniel said. “There are a lot of companies so committed to diversity and they know it is a priority for us as well,” Daniel said. Some may feel that $7000 isn’t much money to support a minority program, but the grant allows us to pay for recruiting and retention programs that can help students and allow them to have the best education possible, Daniel said. Exxon Mobil has also given grants to many other universities, like Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. According to their 2011 Worldwide Contributions and Community Investments report, the corporation donated $2 million in grants to universities across the nation through their Departmental Grants Program last year. According to a news release on its website, Exxon Mobil earned more than $41 billion in 2011.

William Friday and the dangers of athletic tribalism

s we mourn the passing of University President Emeritus William C. Friday, members of the University community — and especially students up the road in Stephen Chapel Hill Leonard or dow n Associate the road in Professor of Ra leig h — Political Science shou ld reat UNC-Chapel Hill member the immediacy and urgency of his legacy. Nearly every encomium to the life of this remarkable man has noted his commitment to the highest ideals of public higher education, and in most cases it is either, and often both, his promotion of opportunity, affordability, access and service to the commonweal, and his tireless efforts to mitigate the effects of athletic tribalism that have been singled out for recognition. The relationship

tion exist. This was a lesson that Bill Friday learned early from firsthand experience, and that experience may be a critical object-lesson for us today. When in 1961 he bravely cancelled the Dixie Classic basketball tournament because of the corruptions of at hletic tribalism, s p or t s f anatics from every tribe in the state wanted his head. What we should not forget, however, is that those voices also complemented what was at the time a loud chorus of naysayers who thought that the university ought not to be the open, accessible, forwardlooking institution Bill Friday believed that it should. Today, that legacy is once again under attack by those who favor a narrow minded

“political correctness” in which independent thinking, civic commitment and a shared prosperity have no place. And today the dupes of athletic tribalism have once again appeared as the unwitting accomplices of those who would turn U NC i nto a sh r u n ken ve st ige that serves the kind of pinched and crabbed world-view William Friday refused to abide. We m a y never know whether Friday might have been thinking about the parallels between the challenges he faced in 1961, and the challenges of 2012, when he said that the difficulties of reining-in athletic tribalism that forced Holden Thorp to tender his resignation as chancellor at UNC-Chapel Hill indicated that higher education in

“...there is no honor, integrity or dignity in representing a diminished institution...”

North Carolina was “in a very dangerous situation.” But we know that many thoughtful leaders, teachers, employees and students in the UNC System recognized that when the athletic tribes at Chapel Hill and N.C. State celebrated Thorp’s decision, they were betraying the interest of every athlete, every student, every alum and every citizen of North Carolina who expects the best of every institution in the UNC system. Bill Friday hoped, as he said in a recent interview, that “People don’t want their lifetimes to be measured by how much their football team won or lost.” And that was exactly what was in mind when the UNC Board of Governors President Thomas Ross, faculty across the university system, the Chapel Hill Board of Trustees and thousands of students and alumni asked Holden Thorp to reconsider his decision. They understood this was not about cleaning up a sports scandal, and that it wasn’t likely

to change Thorp’s mind. It was about rededicating ourselves to the mission of public higher education that Bill Friday hoped all of us would embrace. None of this is to suggest that you shouldn’t root for the Pack to beat the Heels. But it is to suggest that when you do, remember that there is no honor, integrity or dignity in representing a diminished institution, or competing against an unworthy foe. William Friday understood this, and he devoted his life to creating institutions that were dedicated to encouraging excellence. We would do well to emulate his example, and to expect from ourselves the commitment we hope others might reciprocate. Stephen Leonard is the proud parent of four N.C. State students, an associate professor of political science at UNC – Chapel Hill, a member of the UNC Faculty Assembly ( and a former Division I athlete).

A mockery of democracy

here’s a storm approaching. If nothing’s done soon, it’s going to ruin this town. There are measures being taken by the two rival clans to limit the peoples’ ability to do anything a b out t he clans’ joint control over everything Ishan Raval i n t o w n . Deputy Viewpoint Editor W he n t he bosses of these two clans come out in public to debate matters of purported importance, they don’t discuss this storm at all, and none of the other townsfolk are making them talk about their rights being taken away. Whenever someone from a smaller clan tries to join this debate and talk about these relevant things, she is arrested. This is reality. We’re already feeling the tremors of this storm with recordbreaking heat waves, fires, droughts, floods and all nature moving toward more imbalances and an all-out dance of death. But climate change wasn’t mentioned a single time in the first two Presidential debates, and it’s unlikely that environmental matters will be mentioned in the third one on foreign policy today. We are also living under increased tyranny. Extremism of the kind that would not have been tolerated pre9/11 has now been normalized with the USA PATRIOT Act, drones flying over U.S. soil, ruthless persecution of whistleblowers, paramilitarization of the police, and most recently, the National

between these concerns may not be immediately obvious, but in the context of current events, they cannot be ignored. For Bill Friday, the function of higher education was to bring out what is best in our humanity, and sport was one of the many endeavors that promoted that end by cultivating an appreciation of human achievement, the virtues of commitment, perseverance, fortitude and why measuring ourselves against the talents of others teaches us both humility and dignity. In short, President Friday believed, rightly so, that sport is an occasion for learning the values of excellence, integrity and honor. What he also believed, rightly, is that when winning is more important than integrity, when the victories of your athletic “tribe” are more important than the honor of the institution itself, sport destroys — or abets the destruction of — the purposes for which institutions of higher educa-

IN YOUR WORDS

Defense Authorization Act of 2012. This bill, signed by President Obama Dec. 31, 2011, empowers the President to use the U.S. military on Americans citizens, on American soil, to indefinitely and extrajudicially detain them if suspected of “terrorist activity.” However, in part because of the media blackout around the NDAA, no question about this draconian piece of legislature has been asked during the debates. In fact, neither of the candidates has had to talk about civil liberties at all. We are kept, and willfully remain, utterly negligent of the covert assault on our freedoms by our own government. (Of course, leaving us with no freedoms to be hated for could just be the best way to save us from the terrorists.) The discourse of the debates is a farce. The economy and health care matter, but there’s not enough in either of the candidates’ policies for the people – in both their visions, the economy will remain a casino for the rich, and the United States will remain the only industrialized country without universal health care. The discourse is a distraction, meant to keep us calm and make us think that everything will be fine if just enough jobs are created. It’s meant to keep us going to work while our rights are taken away and our ecology crashes, so that soon enough, we have no choice but to keep on going to work and keeping the existing order operating, even if there’s nothing left it in for our good … if it isn’t already this way. Before the second debate, Green Party candidate Jill

Stein and her running mate Cheri Honkala were arrested at the venue because Stein wanted to go in and participate. Stein committed no crime except for being a third-party Presidential candidate wanting to take part in the Presidential debate. However, neither the Democrats nor the Republicans want a third-party candidate, whether Green or Libertarian, to show up at a debate and skew their drivel. It is for this reason that they jointly created a corporation, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), to seize control of the debates from an independent body, the League of Women Voters, which ran the debates before the CPD. Under CPD rules, a candidate must have support from “at least 15 percent of the national electorate as determined by five selected national public opinion polling organizations,” a level of support third-party candidates would find difficult to garner unless they are allowed to participate in the debates. A more reasonable rule would be to allow any candidate on enough ballots to get elected. (Stein is on 85 percent of ballots.) But that would not benefit the two-party singleentity, and so it’s not allowed to happen. Instead, the debates remain a blindfold, or as Jill Stein said after her arrest, a “mockery of democracy,” keeping mass consciousness from recognizing and talking about the big issues. In Thomas Jefferson’s words, “Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.” This is exactly what we are doing.

O’Brien, once again, made the right call, and — for now — has secured his job as coach for another season. It seems that the thread from which his position as head coach dangles becomes more worn with each season. But big wins — like the ones recorded against Florida State and Maryland — keep him around without too much resentment from fans. It goes to show that the strength of a program is greater than the sum of its parts, no matter what they could have done on the field. As the Pack goes for sixstraight against the Tar Heels Oct. 27, N.C. State will show UNC-Chapel Hill what it means to be champions both on and off the field.

Bringing sustainability to the table Katie Sanders Senior Staff Writer

This year, N.C. State participated in Food Day, a national event that focuses on raising awareness of major food issues, such as eating healthy or sustainability, by holding a “farm to fork reception” on N.C. State’s educational farm. Leaders in the field of sustainability and students alike came together to eat local food and learn about each other’s work. About 100 people were in attendance representing various groups, including the Parks Scholars, professors in agroecology and businesses that work with student farms. Each group brought a different issue and specialty to the table to share their expertise with the rest of the contributors. “There were a lot of various efforts in sustainable agriculture around the University, and we wanted to bring everybody together first so everybody knows what each other are doing,” Michelle Schroeder-Moreno, director of the agroecology program and the agroecology education farm, said. “Then the second part is how can we move forward collectively and think about even bigger possibilities.” Natalie Ospina, a junior in psychology, helped organize a part of the event that emphasized the social issues of farming, particularly farm worker justice. “There are certain requirements that are very vague about what their living conditions should be. So you can see sometimes in a labor camp ten people to a room or twenty people to a bathroom, and that’s normal,” Ospina said. The problem of underprivi-

leged field workers is deeply complex, as it involves aspects of many issues like immigration, human rights and sustainability. Ospina isn’t sure what the solution is, which is one of the reasons she wanted awareness to be raised. “I do believe that advocating for farm workers is the first step because they don’t have the voice or capability to have somebody to stand up for them,” Ospina said.

students can come and learn about how to grow their own food and we open it up to the community too,” Katie McKnight, a senior in environmental science and the co-starter of the SOUL garden, said. “We just really wanted to see something on campus that gets students to think about where their food is coming from and make that connection from farm to table,” McKnight said. The garden not only raises awareness in the students, but involves and serves the community as well. “That’s always the goal — to have enough food to donate to inter-faith food shuttle,” Ezekial Overbaugh, senior in plant biology and anthropology, said. University Dining also par-

Alumni sell fresh seafood at farmers market Emma Cathell Staff Writer

About 80 percent of the seafood that is consumed in the United States is imported from around the world. It is likely that much of the seafood that people in the Triangle consume was either frozen or had been sitting out for days or even weeks. According Ryan Speckman and Lin Peterson, who both have degrees in Fisheries and Wild Life Science from the University, this is unfortunate. “We saw the fishing industry as it is and thought we could do it better and at the same time, help out local economies and local fishermen,” Speckman said. “I lived on the coast for eight years and built a lot of friendships with guys in commercial fishing. After I moved back from Raleigh, I kind of saw a niche for really fresh seafood in Raleigh. So Lin and I decided we would pursue trying to get the guys I know with their seafood and bring it up here to sell it.” Once Speckman and Peterson put their mind on selling fish in Raleigh, they said they pursued their dream at all costs and did not give up. In July 2010, the two N.C. State graduates decided to put a company together, and after brainstorming several names, they came up with “Locals Seafood.” These two N.C. State grad-

uates and entrepreneurs said they enjoy their business they created because not only do they feel they are doing something they truly love, but at the same time, they are benefitting others. “For me, this job is great because it’s helping local commercial fisherman get a better price for their product and promoting them,” Speckman said. “And also to be able to say that we truly are selling a local product, because at least half the seafood you find in grocery stores, or anywhere for that matter, is not really local. This is truly a local product and that’s probably what I’m most proud of.” Peterson said although he loves Locals Seafood for similar reasons as Speckman, he enjoys it for other reasons as well. “I like working with people, being out from behind a computer,” Peterson said. “And also, folks like food and they are happy when they get it. Especially if it’s got added value where they know where it came from, that it’s not shrimp from halfway around the world. It’s shrimp that was swimming yesterday.” Speckman and Peterson are proud of how far their business has gotten, and are thankful they earned degrees in fisheries and wildlife science at N.C. State. “I feel like the education we got in fisheries and wildlife was kind of a foundation for doing something along

Lin Peterson, an N.C. State graduate in the fisheries and wildlife department, explains the importance of getting fresh fish to the customers at the Raleigh Farmer’s Market on Thursday Oct. 18. “We see customers say ‘wow’ because they have never had seafood as fresh as ours,” said Peterson “A lot of stores sell fish a week or two after the fish has been caught but our fish were swimming on Monday and it’s now Thursday.” The booth is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Thursdays through Saturdays.

these lines,” Speckman said. “We’re not just going down and buying stuff haphazardly. We know what kinds of species are being caught at certain times a year and how they are being caught. We’re worried about how they are managed and we’re looking at it a little deeper than just going to a grocery store and picking out fish.” According to Speckman and Peterson, Locals Seafood has tripled in size since it started.

“Locals Seafood kicked into gear about last May,” Peterson said. “We started the Downtown Farmers’ Market. That was our first big market.” And following that big step, about half of their business is wholesale to restaurants or other retail markets like Pool’s Diner, Busy Bee Café, Capital Club 16 and Mandolin. Locals Seafood goes to the Downtown Raleigh Farmers Market and also the State Farmers Market at Centennial Campus.

“We sell to LoMo Market, which is a wholesale mobile farmers market and they cover Durham, Chapel Hill and Raleigh,” Peterson said. Speckman and Peterson said they hope that Locals Seafood continues to grow. They also want to pursue Locals Seafood increasing their wholesale side of their business and being able to choose some of the best farmers markets to sell. “When I lived on the coast, I got used to guys bringing

fish over they caught that day and we’d eat it,” Speckman said. “I feel like there is a difference and that people can tell the difference between truly fresh seafood and something that is not. We have people who always tell us, ‘That was the best flounder I have ever had,’ or, ‘the best swordfish I have ever had in my life.’ And it’s because they never actually had fresh swordfish or flounder before. That’s what it tastes like when it’s fresh.”

INTERNAITONAL HORROR FILM FEST 2012:

Associate Features Editor

As Halloween night creeps closer, more and more chances to celebrate the holiday begin to crop up. Stores are filled with costumes and funsized candy, new horror films hit theaters and Halloween movie marathons are on TV. For students looking to get a little bit more out of the holiday, the Office of International Services is providing a bit of foreign culture to the celebration. In collaboration with the Union Activities Board, the International Horror Film Festival is returning to Witherspoon Cinema. The event, now entering its second year, was created by Thomas Greene, interim director of OIS. Greene said that the festival started as an idea several years ago, before he was finally able to get it off the ground last fall. “I’ve always been a fan of different genres of film, among them horror,” Greene said. “I realized the connection between my love of things international and film, particularly horror films, were intersecting in a unique way. It seemed like a natural connection to try and attract students.” For many students, most of the films screened last year proved off-putting simply because of how differently foreign cultures interpret and shoot horror films. For Greene, though, this is one of the most important aspects of

the festival. “What we want to do is get the campus a little more familiar with the basic things that exist in any culture,” Greene said. “It gives them insight into these common traits that are part of human nature, such as fear. It’s kind of fun to get that experience. What freaks people out [in other cultures] is kind of an interesting study in and of itself.” This year, instead of four films airing over the course of a week, there will be a double feature of two foreign horror

came down to selecting movies that would play well with the student body, while still offering something different. “We’ve probably got titles of eight or nine films from different cultures that tend to generate really good horror movies,” Greene said. “It was a matter of strategically picking films on our list, while also getting a sense of global culture.” Though last year’s event wasn’t a huge success, Greene still feels there is an audience for the festival, and he hopes American students can use it

as a stepping stone to further international interest. “I think a lot of students don’t have that exposure to things that are international,” Greene said. “The road to meaningful cross-cultural interactions, there are steps we take for granted, such as film.” Still, regardless of why students turn up for the event, Greene simply hopes that the audience will get a chance to enjoy a type of horror film they may not have checked out otherwise. “We hope that the whole campus is there,” Greene said. “We’re hoping this is an event that everyone can come and enjoy each year.”

recent propensity for playing in tight games has not escaped the Pack’s quarterback. “It got a little wild there in the end,” Glennon said. “I am sure our coaches would like for us to win a little easier, but the bottom line is we got the ‘W’ and a win is a win.” The Wolfpack hopes to continue to expand on its recent performances when the conference season reaches the halfway point next week. State will return to action Saturday as the Wolfpack looks to extend its five-game winning streak against the North Carolina Tar Heels at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill. Gametime is 12:30 p.m. and it will be telecast locally by Raycom Sports.

The Pack is currently in third place of the ACC volleyball standings. “We are just going to keep working hard in practice and we know what we want to achieve.” Kearns said. The Pack completed a two game weekend and will face in-state rivals Wake Forest and Duke on the road before returning home to face ACC leader Florida State Nov. 2.

Pack comes in fourth at Lonnie Poole Sean Fairholm Deputy Sports Editor

There’s a chance that Saturday was junior Albin Choi’s final competitive round at Lonnie Poole Golf Course. After finishing in a tie for fourth at N.C. State’s home fall event, the Canadian is f lying down to Florida for the first stage of the PGA TOUR’s Qualifying Tournament, which will be held this Tuesday through Friday. There are three stages in qualifying school, which culminates with a notoriously exhausting final stage in La Quinta, Calif. at The Club at PGA West. After play ends for the first stage Friday, Choi will fly back to North Carolina for State’s next tournament — the Bridgestone Intercollegiate — next weekend in Greensboro. “[The PGA TOUR] is something he has looked forward to all his life,” head coach Richard Sykes said. “And if he makes it, we’re going to be proud of

these teams come over here and play it so much, I’m not sure if it’s our home turf anymore.” Although the team’s star is backing up his sensational summer with a solid fall performance, several other players have been slowly improving for the Wolfpack. Sophomore William Herring recorded his first collegiate top-10 by shooting 76-6971 and freshman Chad Cox also rebounded from a rocky opening round (77-69-72) to finish in a tie for 13th. “It feels good finally getting to play in a tournament,” Herring said. “I started off very, very poorly, but I fought back and hung in there. It’s just nice to have a good finish.” Next weekend’s tournament in Greensborov will be held at the Grandover Resort, a different venue from last year’s UNC-Greensboro Bridgestone Collegiate where Choi won the individual title and the team finished in second. The final tournament of the fall is in Hawaii at the Warrior Wave Princeville Intercollegiate Nov. 5-7.

Pack pulls out a close one Rob McLamb

Trojans trump Pack

Staff Writer

The men’s swimming and diving team fell to the University of Southern California Trojans Saturday, 173-119. The Pack finished first in four events and won the 50-meter freestyle, 200-meter freestyle relay, 100-meter butterfly and 400-meter individual relay. It also finished in second in the 200-meter medley relay with a time of 1:29.71.

N.C. State outlasted Maryland, 20-18, in a lively affair at Byrd Stadium Saturday afternoon. The game was not decided until Maryland freshman kicker Brad Craddock, who connected on a 48-yard field goal to give the Terps the lead earlier in the 4th quarter, missed a potential game-winning attempt in the dying seconds. Sophomore Niklas Sade had connected on a 43-yard kick with only 32 seconds remaining that seemed to seal the victory for State before the late Terrapin drive that cast doubts. “Unexplainable. The joy that when it went through. I came out screaming; I was so happy,” Sade said. The Wolfpack (5-2 overall, 2-1 in league play) ended a horrific 16-game losing streak against Atlantic Division opponents on the road that dated back to the 2005 season. The last road victory within the division for State prior to this past weekend was a 20-15 triumph at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee against Florida State in the November of that year. The following week, the Pack started its long stretch of Atlantic Division road woes with a 30-10 loss to the O’Brien-led Boston College Eagles in Chestnut Hill, Mass. After the game, O’Brien was quick to def lect praise for the Wolfpack victory. “It [ending the divisional road

Reynolds Coliseum claimed Boston College and Maryland as its newest victims during N.C. State’s weekend volleyball matches. Both opponents were swept off the court without a set win. This year the volleyball team has turned Reynolds into a fortress, going 13-1 at home this season. “I can’t really describe it, but it’s amazing to have our fans,” sophomore libero Alston Kearns said. The Pack got things started Friday night during the Kay Yow Pink Match. It recorded 42 kills while Boston College only totaled 22 kills. Senior setter Megan Cyr tallied 33 assists while sophomore middle blocker Alesha Wilson accounted for 11 kills. Kearns led the defense with 19 digs. Boston College failed to win a set during the match and dropped to 10-12 overall and 4-6 in the ACC. The Pack climbed to 18-3 overall and tied last year’s school record with eight total ACC wins.

The timeout proved to help the Pack more than the Terrapins, as State stretched its lead to 12-4. Two small runs of good play from Maryland cut the lead to five, but the Pack held strong and won the set 25-15. State had a .320 attacking percentage compared to a -.032 from Maryland in the first set. Maryland came out in the second set a much stronger team as it went ahead of the Pack, 2-6. Big kills from Hopper and errors from Maryland brought the Pack to tie the score at 15-15. A tough Maryland team would not go away as it forced State to fight back again and tie the game, 22-22. A kill by Glass, an ace and a missed kill from Maryland ended the set as State took the victory, 25-22. Once again, Maryland came out of the gates firing to make the score 3-8.
