YAL hosts political debate

NCSU inspires military leadership

Elizabeth Moomey Staff Writer

Young Americans for Liberty presented a debate showcasing liberal, libertarian and conservative philosophies on Wednesday Oct. 24 at Dabney Hall. Rick Perlstein, a historian and journalist who recently wrote a political column in Rolling Stone, argued the liberal viewpoint. Jim Harper, the director of information policy studies at the Cato Institute, carried libertarian ideas. Dr. Mike Adams, a criminal justice professor at UNC-Wilmington and Townhall columnist, reasoned the conservative stance. Kory Swanson, the John Locke Foundation vice president, moderated. The different ideologist debated many points from gay marriage to health care. Ross Bradley, a sophomore in chemical engineering and Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) president, encouraged issues that pertained to college students like the economy and civil liberties like the war on drugs and gay marriage. And like the presidential debates they had a time limit. The first portion was questions asked by the moderator, and at the end, audience members could ask questions to the debaters individually. Bradley hoped the debate would show students that libertarianism is

Wednesday, a panel of three speakers dicussed their political beliefs regarding everything from foreigm policy to marriage. The three representatives argued the ideological views of liberals, conservatives, and libertarians. The discussion, made possible by the Young Americans for Liberty group, helped students further understand what each group stands and lobbies for in Washington.

the “best of both worlds by the out of your bedroom and out of your wallet” idea and supports smaller government. Because of the mixed feelings of the audience, the debate became controversial, which Bradley liked. But some students were quite upset about the debaters’ replies to some of the questions. “I thought it was worthless,”

James Aughenbaugh, a junior in political science, said. He also thought the debaters belittled each other, ignored the issues and sarcastically debated each other. “[Adams] made some factual errors, though I am extremely biased, because I am liberal,” Drew Chriathroad, a sophomore in history, said. The debaters were impressed with

the event and thought the audience was impressive. The audience was “very intelligent and very heartfelt for a bunch of engineers,” Perlstein said jokingly. Harper agreed. “The students here were as engaged as could be,” Harper said. Adams had a good experience as well, but received some grief from the audience.

GLBT discusses an inclusive classroom

Gubernatorial candidates hold final debate

Elizabeth Moomey Staff Writer

The GLBT Center and College of Education hosted a panel to discuss tolerance of homosexuality in the classroom on Wednesday Oct. 24 in Poe Hall. Five members of the GLBT community answered questions posed by 15 future educators. The panel featured two high school students, an undergraduate, a doctorate student and a teacher. Justine Hollingshead, director of the GLBT center, spoke of the effects that sexual orientation has in education, and the panel ref lected on their experiences in school. They also answered questions on how to respond to students saying “that’s so gay” and their take on homosexuality in the media and in politics. Nicholas Peaks, a junior in science education, decided to join the panel because “someone has to talk about it.” Nicole Melendez, a senior in elementary education, liked that the panel had a wide range of people. “I like that high school students were here,” she said. “They are still in the [education] system.” Hollingshead also liked hearing from young people because

Staff Report The f ina l North Carolina gubernatorial debate took place Wednesday night, it was the third one this fall. Republican Pat McCrory and Democrat Walter Dalton used the debate as an opportunity to find common ground, but also to make their platforms clear for voters, according to WRAL. On the topic of abortion, McCrory and Dalton agreed—both stating they would not sign in any restrictions to abortion law in the state. When it came education, the candidates disagreed. “McCrory pushed his idea of creating a separate high school track for children who don’t want to go to college,” WRAL reported. “Dalton disagreed, saying emphasis should be placed on high schools that allow students to get some exposure to community college classes.” In addition, the candidates accused one another of lacking proper ethics in the workplace. Early voting in North Carolina began on Oct. 18, 2012.

they “know what it’s like to sit in a classroom and hear [insults] and connect that to reality.” The College of Education and the GLBT Center started their collaboration through Project SAFE whose mission it is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental campus climate for any student, faculty or staff member who may have questions and/ or concerns related to gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender issues. Project SAFE was started when Hollingshead saw the need for education. “College of Education is so proactive in providing conversations,” Hollingshead said. With the help of Project SAFE and the GLBT Center, Hollingshead’s

goal is “to be treated as equal, we just have to get there.” Peaks thought the panel helped future educators address sexual orientation when it is brought up in class and in general. “It helped people realize how to be a member of the community and the classroom as a student and a teacher,” Peak said. It made Melendez think that we need to “talk more about how it is a human rights thing and not gay straight [thing].” Landwehr thought the quality of the questions were great and thought it helped the audience think “how does this affect me as a teacher.”

Codi Massey, a freshman in engineering, came to N.C. State on an ROTC scholarship and was immediately impressed by the corps camaraderie. “I came to N.C. State knowing no one, but was quickly placed in a situation where I had to get to know the other freshmen in the program,” Massey said. “They are now my best friends here at State.” The University’s Navy, Air Force, Army and Marine ROTC programs have produced more than 60 generals and flag officers. Some of the military greats from N.C. State include retired Army General Hugh Shelton, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; current Army Chief of Staff Ray Odierno; Major General William C. Lee, considered the father of airborne, and lastly, General Maxwell R. Thurman, vice chief of staff of the Army in the mid-1980s. Following their legacy, Jared Hollis, battalion commander of the NROTC and a senior in science education, attributed his leadership skills to a set of classes he has taken through the NROTC program. These classes include a leadership management class and a leadership ethics class. He also said he learned valuable leadership skills by studying the 13 leadership traits in the Marine Corp doctrine. “After we studied the leadership traits, the NROTC put us in situations where we could practice them,” Hollis said. Hollis said the biggest test of his leadership was being a battalion commander. “The battalion commander is in charge of the student-staff and midshipmen. Having to supervise that many people without micromanaging is difficult,” Hollis said. “But, it’s easier if you just do what you know is right.” Though responsibilities increase over one’s time in ROTC, Massey said there were many things to look forward to in her upperclassmen years. “The program is only going to get better from here,” Massey said. “I am excited to get to be more absorbed into the Navy lifestyle with the battalion and to get closer with the other members. I am excited to learn more, so that one day I can become an effective Naval Officer.” Hailey Craig, a freshman in engineering, agreed that there is a tight-knit camaraderie in the battalion and in Indoc, ROTC’s

The Horrors of Harrelson

AND THE STORY BEGINS...

They gathered on the steps, looking at one another with slightly guilty expressions. Volunteering to test the horrors that, according to legend, lurked in the depths of Harrelson Hall is not something people tend to advertise. Drawing in deep breaths, the foursome ascended the staircase and quietly crept inside. Two hippies, a go-go girl and a devil linked arms as the got to the top of the staircase, unsure what waited inside. Nodding in agreement, they pushed open the door. Before they could even look around, suddenly they were being sucked into a portal, flying and flailing about as they lost their bearings. As they twisted and turned, they resigned themselves to the fate Harrelson had doled out to them.

The two hippies were deposited with a heavy thump on the grounds of the Court of the Carolinas. The girl stood up first, shaking her head and trying to understand what had happened. “So… Harrelson is a portal? Why are we here? This doesn’t make any sense!” The boy ignored her. His eyes had taken on a slightly

red tint and his movements were stiff and controlled. The girl appraised these changes with an increasing sense of fear. Moving slowly, the boy produced a large knife from his coat. As he raised it, the girl gasped. She reached out to grab it but he was strong, moving as though possessed. Calling his name, the girl fought harder, clawing at his face. She managed to knock him to the ground,

pouncing on him. “You can’t kill me! This is the first scene, for God’s sake!” She spotted the knife seconds before he did and used the extra time to her advantage, sliding it across his throat as quickly as possible. As the blood gushed, she rolled over onto the grass panting. “That looks a lot easier in the movies,” she said.

DISAPPOINTING LANDING...

IT’S TIME FOR NC STATE BOOKSTORES ANNUAL The go-go dancer and the devil found themselves in D.H. Hill. Landing directly in the book stacks on the fifth floor, the dancer managed to knock over a stack of books during her landing. Shaking off the fall, the dancer stood up and began to look around. “So when does the scary stuff start? I mean I hate studying and all, but I thought this would be more dramatic.” “Especially with that insane start off. This is kind of a letdown,” the devil replied. The dancer nodded and the pair began walking towards the exit. As they reached the end, the devil paused. “Did you hear that?” The dancer shook her head. Both girls paused, eyes wide, and looked around the room for the creature they were certain was stalking them. They searched around the floor for a few minutes before agreeing the noise must have been imagined. As they sauntered towards the exit, they never turned around to see the horror Harrelson had sent to the library with them. Dressed in red with a knife in hand, a killer awaited the perfect moment to strike the innocents.

FATAL FALL...

The girls left the library feeling cheated. The had expected to get great thrills from throwing themselves into Harrelson on this night of evil and instead had been transported next door. “I swear this is some University plot. Stealing our fun and trying to make us study,” the dancer said. The devil laughed, nodding her head in agreement. The pair walked towards

the Court of the Carolinas, debating on whether or not it was too late to join the Hike with their friends who had forgone the Harrelson adventure. Thirty paces behind them, the killer was stalking and planning to attack. Increasing speed, the killer came up directly behind the girls and waited for them to take notice. The devil noticed first, screeching and jumping away. The dancer was slower

and stumbled as she took off, falling and twisting her ankle in her heeled boots. “Help me! I can’t run,” she shouted to her friend as she tried to crawl forward. The devil didn’t respond, already too far ahead to hear her. The killer descended quickly, brandishing a large knife. The dancers screams were only stopped by her imminent and expected death.

THE INNOCENT TRIUMPHS... The killer quickly turned to the devil, clearly hoping for a final death. The devil was small, but feisty and determined, and the fight was an intense one. As the killer reached out to stab the devil in the stomach, she quickly moved out of the way. “You won’t get me! I’m the innocent one,” the devil snarled. The killer paused, considering the relevance of this statement. The devil took the pause as a chance to grab the knife, quickly plunging it into the killer’s stomach. As she lifted the mask, the devil began to laugh, amused that her horror movie had been so fittingly cliché.

The devil ran towards the bell tower, gasping for breath and internally praying for rescue. As she reached the tower, she began to breathe normally. Maybe the killer wouldn’t follow, hadn’t seen where she had gone. She sat on the steps to rest and was only roused by the hippie. “What happened?” The hippie gestured at her blood soaked skirt. “Well, I won.” The pair laughed from sheer exhaustion until the killer in red suddenly surprised them from behind the tower. The devil scampered out of reach, but the hippie was too slow, falling onto the stairs as the knife plunged in.

in the program to academics. “Our number one job is to stress academics. We can’t make officers out of students that don’t graduate,” said Captain Wright. “We want bright, intellectual minds, and academics serve as a frame for everything else.” After academics, Captain Wright said that the NROTC program encourages NROTC students to explore leadership roles around campus like in student government, Greek fraternities and sororities and intramurals. “Leadership is like air. There is leadership all around them,” said Captain Wright. “Here at N.C. State we try to stress to take advantage of the opportunities around you.” Captain Wright said one of the best things about N.C. State’s NROTC program is its ability to provide military alignment with success in academics and leadership to provide peer mentoring and a direct connection to many active duty alumni.

Harper instantly agreed when YAL asked him. “It is sort of my job to share my ideas,” Harper said. Perlstein came because he has never been to North Carolina and wanted to “have some fun and has to pay the rent.” Adams liked that people got to see the contrast between liberal, libertarian and conservative, which was Bradley’s goal. “A whole lot of people don’t know about the liberty movement,” Bradley said. “It’s not just a right left debate.” Thought the moderator

A significant part of Joshua Chen’s column from yesterday was mistakenly omitted. Here is the column in its entirety.

“I

can't sleep at night because when the drones are there… I hear them making that sound, that Joshua Chen noise. T he Guest Columnist drones are all over my brain, I can't sleep. When I hear the drones making that drone sound, I just turn on the light and sit there looking at the light. Whenever the drones are hovering over us, it just makes me so scared.” – Pakistani day laborer America is committing acts of terror, and none of us seem to care. We religiously keep tabs on the season’s latest football scores; we rush home as soon as we can to catch the latest episode of The Walking Dead; we scour the web to get the latest scoop on what celebrities are up to. We focus so closely on our own little microcosms that we tend to disregard the goings on of our nation as a whole — or worse, that we base our voting decisions on face-value sentiments from peers and campaign advertisements. We are able to quote lines from Dane Cook off the top of our heads, yet still have trouble remembering the Bill of Rights from our own Constitution. And we know shamefully little of what our nation is doing around the world. They’re called predator drones — unmanned aircraft equipped with AGM-114 Hellfire missiles in their arsenals. And they circle above Pakistani communities day and night, always waiting, always ready to strike on command. Originally put in place by the Bush administration in 2004 to take out strategic terrorist targets, this program has been dramatically expanded under the Obama administration, which has conducted a total of 295 strikes in addition to the former administration’s 52. Sure, we’ve killed some high-ranking leaders from alQaeda and the Taliban — but at what cost? Approximately 10 civilians die at our hands for every one militant assassinated in this manner: up to 884 innocent Pakistanis have been killed — including 176 children —and these statistics may not actually reflect the true number of civilian deaths due to the fact that the Obama administration categorizes all unidentified adult males as “militants” in

their reports. As for the victims living in the communities targeted by these drones, death is only one part of the equation. The fear and anguish we felt during the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks is but a mere glimpse of what these people have been forced to go through each and every day. Journalist Conor Friedersdorf reports, “Women cower in their homes. Children are kept out of school. The stress they endure gives them psychiatric disorders. Men are driven crazy by an inability to sleep as drones buzz overhead 24 hours a day, a deadly strike possible at any moment.” For many victims, these predator drone strikes are the first and only forms of contact they’ve had with the United States. It is naive to think that husbands who have lost their wives and brothers who have lost their sisters will continue to sit idly by, letting these atrocities continue to happen to their friends and family. This program is creating more “terrorists” than it kills — if you can even call them that. “Before the drone attacks, it was as if everyone was young. After the drone attacks, it is as if everyone is ill. Every person is afraid of the drones,” describes one man. “The children are crying and they don't go to school … they fear that their schools will be targeted by the drones,” reports another. My friends, this is why I cannot in good conscience vote for Barack Obama, and neither will my morals allow me to vote for Mitt Romney. The former has already killed hundreds of innocents; both have pledged to continue advancing the program. I would not be able to live with myself knowing that I had endorsed such acts of terror with my vote. Fortunately, there are more than two people running for president. Some will simply turn a blind eye to these events, and others will rationalize away their endorsement of murder at the ballot box this year. They’ll maintain that it’s a necessary evil, or that it’ll happen anyway either way. But I ask of you – no matter who you are or where you stand – to remember the Pakistani people when you step up to the ballot box this year. Will their blood be on your hands?

Who is this on my ballot?

s we all know, t his elec t ion year is extremely important with the positions of President of the United States and Governor of North Carolina up for grabs. Jonathon President Smith Obama Guest Columnist and Governor Romney are traveling all around the nation gathering support for their visions for America. Mayor Pat McCrory and Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton too are battling it out here in our state to win the support of our citizens for the position of Governor. These two races will determine who will lead us into the next few years of our future. But what about the other, lesser known races? Every election, I find myself walking into the

voting box with my list of people to vote for in the key races such as Congressman, Senator, and Governor. But I also become surprised by the less promoted races that are on my ballot. These races may be for positions such as county sheriff, State Auditor, Commissioner of Labor and judges. The United States is structured as a representative democracy which allows us the opportunity to have a voice in the government by electing people to represent us in various positions. My challenge to you is to do research on t he ca ndidates for the “smaller” contests, because whether you realize it or not, they make a huge impact. Did you know that the Commissioner of Insurance

is in charge of state oversight of insurance but also doubles as the State Fire Chief? The Commissioner of Labor is in charge of overseeing occupational safety and health across the state. (Look for her picture inside your next elevator.) Did you know that North Carolina’s number one industry is agriculture? Agriculture contributes over $70 billion to the state economy each year. N.C. Commissioner of Agriculture Steve Troxler is a 1974 graduate of N.C. State a nd le a d s t he N.C . Department of Agriculture & Consumer Serv ices. The NCDA&CS performs many duties such as inspecting gas pumps, administrating the N.C. Forest Service, assisting the state’s agribusinesses

“... do research on the candidates for the ‘smaller’ contests, because ... they make a huge impact.”

with marketing and exports, inspecting meat and poultry, and even conducting the N.C. State Fair. The Department partners with N.C. State University on initiatives such as agriculture research and extension in all 100 counties. As you can see, these races and many more have a direct impact on our lives. We need to take these lesser known contests seriously and elect people to these positions that have the experience, the vision and the leadership ability to get the job done. Yes, the new Governor will be instrumental in developing the budget for these departments and will be responsible for establishing an overarching vision for the state. But people such as Commissioners are instrumental in ensuring that we get the services and support we need as citizens to move this state forward. Educate yourself before you vote so that when you go to vote, you will have an answer for “Who is this on my ballot?”

Solutions or illusions?

aby steps. To m ot h e r s a n d grandparents alike, the phrase promises growth and rings with new beginnings. With new policy, it resounds with doubt, Heather incapacTroutman it y, u nStaff Columnist willingness and smoke-blowing. The heart tears in two as you decide between appreciating an effort and tongue-lashing the politicians for assuming the population is entirely ignorant of the issue. This is most often the case concerning environmental legislation. Contempor a r y e x a mple s include House Bill 1465, often referred to as the Plastic Bottle Ban, passed by the N.C. General Assembly in 2005, and the so-called Recycling Law, Ratified House Bill 267, effective Jan. 2008. Both bills patronize the acknowledgement of recyclables accumulating exponentially in landfills, and both pieces of legislation pass the bill onto the citizen without giving it a

further judicial thought. The Bottle Ban restricts 12 classifications of waste from disposal in the landfill including: yard trash, oyster shells, antifreeze, motor oil filters and “recyclable rigid plastic containers... that have a neck smaller than the body of the container, and that accept a screw top, snap cap, or other closure,” among others. This bill is particularly unique in offering no description of enforcement or compliance measurement — both characteristic of regulatory legislation. However, House Bill 1465 is equipped with a clause excusing a town or city from compliance that would experience “an economic hardship” from its implementation. All of us individually, as residents and N.C. citizens, and all business owners in this state are civil offenders every time the trash goes out with a recyclable inside. I would be astonished to hear of an individual citizen charged as an offender, and I am doubtful that there has even been a single city, institution or business fined for noncompliance since the bill went into effect on Oct. 1, 2009. Similarly lenient, Ratified House Bill 267 requires “[All establishments that sell alco-

hol] to recycle all recyclable containers of all beverages sold at retail on the premises and to prohibit the disposal of those containers in landfills or by incineration.” All of my fellow service industry workers can testify that this is not enforced. While the bill does require that every N.C. business show proof of contract with a recycling entity to obtain and renew an ABC permit, the bill did not establish a system of compliance. I was working in a small biker bar when the bill came into effect Jan. 1, 2008, and personally witnessed the installation of recycling bins on premise. I have since maintained employment at various clubs, bars and restaurants in multiple N.C. cities and can promise you that this law is often overlooked. Some business owners have developed comprehensive operation standards for efficiency, some make recycling available but do not require it from employees and still others completely disregard the law and neglect to install a capacity for recycling. In the nearly five years that the law has been in effect I have not witnessed a single business fined or revoked of their ABC permit for noncompliance. I am not discussing these passive pieces of legislation

with you to champion the importance of recycling—rather, I wish to encourage you to consider the fundamental civic role legislation plays. The speed limit is arguably ineffective even with ticket fines and insurance points and related insurance inflammation in place to enforce it. What would our roads and car crash death rates look like if the speed limit was void of repercussion? This election season has continuously called attention to environmental legislation. Those who chose to ignore science and deny the health threats of pollution will, of course, argue that environmental legislation places burdens so heavy upon business that economic viability is squeezed out. Those who recognize anthropogenic environmental degradation should consider it their civic duty to follow proposed environmental legislation and put candidates in office that will enforce solutions to these pressing issues.

Quillor connections Jordan Alsaqa Associate Features Editor

The saying goes that everyone has a story to tell. Whether it’s a tale about traveling across the country on a whim or someone doing whatever it takes to achieve their dream, everyone has had something happen in their life worth talking about. For Tim Rosenberg, a senior in graphic design, it is exactly these types of stories that form the center of his new website project, Quillor. The site serves as a hub for inspiring stories of selfdiscovery that users send in, as well as a chronicle of Rosenberg’s own life. For Rosenberg, the power of Quillor comes from its ability to connect people from all over the world. “I would say as a graphic designer, I’ve always been interested in how communication can connect people from around the world regardless of what boundaries they may have,” Rosenberg said. “I’ve always been interested in using design to connect people with similar struggles that don’t have a medium to communicate through.” Becoming a part of the Quillor experience is a simple process. Joining the site is as easy as signing up, at which point members can write and send a letter to Rosenberg. While an email option has recently been added, handwritten letters are the preferred method. “I’ve already received this stack of letters,” Rosenberg said. “Some are from the site and some are from people I’ve met.

sidewalks. It was a plan that was started more for recreation, but as it continues to expand, a desire has arisen to make it a form of transportation. With some coordination, these greenways provide a great opportunity to stay active in Raleigh while eliminating the need for vehicles and keeping the natural features of Raleigh safe. In the age of technology, Raleigh Parks and Recreation has teamed up with a

local company to create an iPhone app called R Greenway, which allows users to locate their whereabouts in relation to the greenway on virtual maps. There are also printable copies of the maps online and at the Raleigh Parks and Recreation office downtown. Lebsock believes that this is an opportunity for everyone to get outside, stay active and enjoy the scenery and hopes students, faculty and staff as well as the public will take

advantage of it. “We are facing a time when obesity is becoming a risk to our country - exercise is an important health concern today,” Lebsock said. “The greenway is a great way to get that exercise. A lot of people are scared of fitness gyms because they can be intimidating and this is just a different perspective on exercising for all.”

AND THE STORY BEGINS...

UNDERCOVER TREACHERY... The two hippies were deposited with a heavy thump on the grounds of the Court of the Carolinas. The girl stood up first, shaking her head and trying to understand what had happened. “So… Harrelson is a portal? Why are we here? This doesn’t make any sense!” The boy ignored her. His eyes had taken on a slightly

DISAPPOINTING LANDING...

The go-go dancer and the devil found themselves in D.H. Hill. Landing directly in the book stacks on the fifth floor, the dancer managed to knock over a stack of books during her landing. Shaking off the fall, the dancer stood up and began to look around. “So when does the scary stuff start? I mean I hate studying and all, but I thought this would be more dramatic.” “Especially with that insane start off. This is kind of a letdown,” the devil replied. The dancer nodded and the pair began walking towards the exit. As they reached the end, the devil paused. “Did you hear that?” The dancer shook her head. Both girls paused, eyes wide, and looked around the room for the creature they were certain was stalking them. They searched around the floor for a few minutes before agreeing the noise must have been imagined. As they sauntered towards the exit, they never turned around to see the horror Harrelson had sent to the library with them. Dressed in red with a knife in hand, a killer awaited the perfect moment to strike the innocents.

FATAL FALL... The girls left the library feeling cheated.

TRI CLUB continued from page 8

Pack bring home a new record. The women finished in first place in the event, the first time a State triathlon team had won an event. The men almost completed the hold on first place, coming in a close second to Virginia Tech. “Last year we had a large group of people that all enjoyed doing triathlons, and doing triathlons together. We were very competitive, we’d all go to races, do them and have a lot of fun,” Ben Rachunok, a sophomore in industrial engineering, said. “This year, the difference is that we have a team. This year we show up as N.C. State. We are recognized as N.C. State.” Two very successful performances set up the Pack quite nicely heading into the conference championships, held in Ellicott City, Md. Both the men’s and women’s teams knew that a strong finish would be needed to solidify their spots at the National Championships. The morning of the race arrived and the weather looked bleak. “The weather made for a really tough race,” Doughtie said. “I told the kids going into this race, that it was going to be the same for everyone and that the race would

be decided by the athletes that could simply accept the suffering and keep going.” As the team began to warm-up the spirits were still high, and then the injury bug struck. Top male runner Ben Rachunok was injured an hour before the race began, leaving the male team without its top competitor for one of the most important races of the entire season. “I did not notice a pothole as I was walking out from the bathroom, and stepped right down in it. I heard my ankle pop, and immediately went cold,” Rachunok said on his injury. “I slowly made my way to the trainers tent, where they looked at it for me. They were reluctant to clear me for the race, and that was when I knew that for my own safety I could not run.” However, neither the weather nor the injury bug could keep both teams from obtaining a berth in the National Championships. With a fourth place finish in the race, the men’s team clinched third place overall in the conference, sealing its ticket to Tempe, Ariz., as did the women, who finished seventh and clinched a wild card spot.

WOMEN’S SOCCER

Soccer prepares for rivalry game against the Heels David Cancio Staff Writer

The Wolfpack’s women’s soccer team will take on the Tar Heels tonight in their last game of the season, and will field six freshmen. The Tar Heels are ranked eighth in the nation and are heavily favored, but the Wolfpack is ready to leave its mark. “Nobody really expects us to win this game so for us it’s kind of just making a statement and playing hard and going 150 percent against them,” redshirt junior defender, Megan Proper, said. T h e t e a m pr a c t i c e d Wednesday afternoon and focused on two drills that are key to their strategy of beating Carolina. State will try a tactic known as “parking the bus,” where all players, excluding one forward, are in the defensive half and try to “park” themselves in front of their goal. This defensive strategy is about applying low defensive pressure and engaging in a fierce mental game against the other team. The strategy requires intense discipline and extreme focus when on offense to successfully counter attack and potentially score a goal. The Pack plan to use a 4-5-

1 formation to negate the 3-4-3, used by the Tar Heels, where the five State midfielders would challenge Chapel Hill’s four midfielders and the defensive four will try to contain the Heel’s attacking three. “I think it’s more of slowing down their offensive players,” redshirt sophomore midfielder, Riley Brown, said. Playing toe-to-toe against an offensive powerhouse is not an easy thing to do and is not recommended with an inexperienced team, but

parking the bus gives the element of surprise if the defending team can withstand the constant bombardment of high pressure. “I think for us, it wouldn’t suit us and our personnel and how our team is to just try and pressure them all over the field and play straight up,” head coach Steve Springthorpe said. To the Pack’s advantage, UNC only uses three defensive backs, meaning that they leave themselves open to the counterattack. Springthorpe

confirmed this risk. “They are willing to give up numbers in the back because they want to pressure the ball high where most teams when they play they want to make sure from behind that they don’t get caught over the top or from behind,” Springthorpe said. “We will have five midfielders with a target forward up top. We spent the day trying to prepare for what we may see from Carolina and how we are going to attack when we win the ball.”

This year, N.C. State’s club triathlon team has done something that it has never accomplished before. Both the men’s and women’s club teams have qualified to compete at the National Championships held in Tempe, Ariz. on April 12-13. The Pack, who plays in the Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Triathlon Conference, started the conference season strong and stayed strong throughout. With only three races this fall, both the men’s and women’s teams fought like there was no tomorrow. The men’s team finished third in conference play, just behind Navy and Virginia Tech, and the women’s team finished seventh. Both teams achieved their highest rankings ever in conference play. As a team, State finished fifth. “The expectations I had for this team is that I wanted to qualify a full men’s and women’s team at USAT collegiate national’s in April of 2013,” head coach Brooks Doughtie said. “With our performances at the MACTC conference championships, we

But that’s not the way it feels.” In theory, it’s hard to imagine a scenario where a 13-0 Florida State team with wins over powerhouses Clemson and Florida would fail to reach the National Championship game based on how high up it started in the rankings. As it stands, Oct. 6 in Raleigh is still a night the Seminoles will lament for a very long time.

Boston College, can the Deacons get to the magical six win mark? A surprise upset over Clemson on Thursday night could happen, but the season finale against Vanderbilt looks a little more doable.

Boston College (1-6, 0-4 ACC) - “Bad” by Michael Jackson “My friend, you have seen nothing/Just wait ‘til I get through/Because I’m bad, I’m bad, come on/You know I’m bad, I’m bad/You know it.” BC’s best opportunity for an FBS win will be this Saturday against Maryland and next Saturday at Wake Forest. For the Eagles’ final three games of the season, they will be heavy underdogs. *No. 14 Clemson (6-1, 3-1 ACC) - “Tiger Trap” by Beat Happening “When the promises are repeat/Tender hook of the Tiger Trap/Lost on the edge of the treasure map/Cover the wicked ways.” Set for a Thursday night battle in Winston-Salem, the Tigers have to watch out for a wellcoached Wake Forest group, who gets back its best offensive playmaker, Michael Campanaro. The standout wide receiver hasn’t played since Sept. 29 against Boston College where he broke his hand. *No. 11 Florida State (7-1, 4-1 ACC) - “Operator” by Jim Croce “I’ve overcome the blow/I’ve learned to take it well/I only wish my words/Could just convince myself/That it just wasn’t real/

Maryland (4-3, 2-1 ACC) - “I’m Shipping Up to Boston” by Dropkick Murphys “I’m shipping up to Boston, whoa/ I’m shipping off to find my wooden leg.” A botched extra point and a missed 33-yard field goal to win the game have to be devastating blows for the Terps. The remedy for getting back on their feet? Go up to play Boston College. N.C. State (5-2, 2-1 ACC) “Straight Six” by The Mountain Goats “Six kicking cylinders, lined up straight/And I ride/And I glide down the streets of this city all night.” Everyone can agree that State got lucky in College Park after inexplicably allowing a quarterback who has never taken a collegiate snap to drive down the length of the field in all of 25 seconds. However, the focus on another close win is long gone and the focus on winning six straight games against UNC is all that matters. Wake Forest (4-3, 2-3 ACC) “Come Alive” by Still Time “Father time used to dance through the night/With the ghosts of America’s prime/He’s still on our side with a family man’s pride/ In hopes we will rise once again.” With three home games remaining, including one against moribund

COASTAL DIVISION *Duke (6-2, 3-1 ACC) - “Duke of Earl” by Gene Chandler “As I, I walk through this world/ Nothing can stop The Duke of Earl/ And-a you, you are my girl/And no one can hurt you, oh no.” The Devils have every reason to go crazy after reaching bowl eligibility for the first time in 18 years. Winning at Florida State or vs. Clemson is an extremely tall task, but the final two games of the year at Georgia Tech and vs. Miami are very winnable. Georgia Tech (3-4, 2-3 ACC) “Rope” by Foo Fighters “Give me some rope I’m coming loose, I’m hanging on you/Give me some rope I’m coming loose, I’m pulling for you now.” With an unfamiliar face in Duke reaching a bowl game, we may have a familiar face staying home for the holidays. Georgia Tech steps out of the conference to battle BYU this Saturday, but the Jackets need to go 3-2 in their last five to reach bowl eligibility. Miami (4-4, 3-2 ACC) - “Backwards” by Rascal Flatts “It hit me in the face cause that’s where I’m at/I almost fell flat out on the floor/He said wait a minute that’s not all there’s even more.” The ‘Canes have turned in their annoying storm-warning alarm for the less intimidating beep of a team moving in reverse. While the threegame losing streak has hurt, Miami still has full control of its destiny in the Coastal.

North Carolina (5-3, 2-2 ACC) “The Red” by Chevelle “So lay down, the threat is real/ When his sight goes red again/Seeing red again/Seeing red again/ Seeing red again/Seeing red again/ Seeing red again.” After a 33-30 heartbreaker at Duke, UNC will try to put a large dent in the side of N.C. State’s ACC Championship hopes. The Heels have been seeing red for the past five years, but will a new coach and a new offense change the rivalry’s momentum? Virginia (2-6, 0-4 ACC) - “Dead in the Water” by David Gray “A premonition of the killers angel eyes/An armageddon sky tell it like it is/It’s like the old man says/ We’re dead in the water now/Dead in the water.” If you haven’t been paying attention to UVA for the first eight games, you only need to know one thing — they are a startling minus-16 in turnover margin, dead last by a mile in the FBS. Barring a turnover during the bye week, that is the mark the Cavaliers will bring into Raleigh next Saturday for Homecoming. Virginia Tech (4-4, 2-2 ACC) “Sundown” by Gordon Lightfoot “Sometimes I think it’s a sin/ When I feel like I’m winning when I’m losing again.” It’s been a forgettable season in Blacksburg, where the Hokies will fail to reach 10 wins for the first time in eight seasons. Strangely enough, however, if Virginia Tech can beat Miami, the Coastal Division is still very realistic. * eligible for bowl game

Exploring History Professor to teach one-time N.C. State history course Story by Will Brooks | Photos courtesy of Special Collections

For Director of Public History Craig Friend, 125 is just a number, but this year it has become something greater for the University. In light of N.C. State’s 125th anniversary, Friend arranged to teach a one-credit-hour course next semester entitled “History of NCSU.” Friend said he hopes to give students a thorough historical understanding of a school more than 34,000 current students hope to someday call their alma mater. “N.C. State has a very rich history, but many students don’t have an understanding of that at all,” Friend said. Friend said the inspiration for the course came naturally to him as director of a program with a focus on distributing historical knowledge and creating more awareness of that knowledge. “What I think about as a public historian is how to take history beyond the academic classroom and take history to a larger group of people,” Friend said. Friend said that when he was an undergraduate at Wake Forest University, the school made a point to teach all students about the University’s origins and traditions. “Every year there they took the students to [the town of] Wake Forest to see the history,” Friend said. As a one-hour course which meets only 50 minutes a week, Friend said his course will not follow the typical model of a college lecture. He said he is still figuring out the exact structure. “It’s not about testing people on content Agromeck‘s homecoming preview

knowledge,” Friend said. “It’s about teaching people about the University’s past. It really is piecing together the many components of history at N.C. State.” Friend said the class is intended for students of all backgrounds. He will incorporate guest speakers with special knowledge of the University’s different programs and departments. “It really is going to be sort of a class taught by different people who know different aspects about the University’s past,” Friend said. “I’m hoping that everyone will have a broad range of interests.” In a classroom of approximately 200 students, Friend said that he is unsure what to expect. “I’m hoping it will be as much a class as an event,” Friend said. For Friend, what makes the 125th year of the University’s existence so important is that the school chose to celebrate it. “There’s nothing particularly special about [125 years],” Friend said. “But if you only celebrate every 25 years, then this is only the fifth time that we have celebrated.” Friend invites all students to enroll in the one-time course and said he looks forward to seeing a diverse group of students this spring.

A North Carolina Legend Alumnus and UNC System founder leaves behind a legacy story by Mark herring

For many North Carolina educators, William C. Friday will always be “president.” The politician and advocate for education in North Carolina transformed the state, bringing about the 17-institutionstrong UNC System and turning North Carolina into an envied model of public college education. Friday, 92, died in his sleep Oct. 12 at home. As the founder of the UNC System, Friday’s name and legacy have become sources of inspiration for numerous academic programs, service honors, centers and institutes. But as much as Friday made an impact on college education in the state, it was his

alma mater, N.C. State, that molded him into the transformational leader he became. When Friday arrived at N.C. State College of Agriculture and Engineering in the fall of 1938 from his hometown of Dallas, N.C., he came to learn about the textile industry in preparation for taking over his father’s business. According to the Technician, State College was a “place of industry” where “loafers [had] little chance.” At the time, the University was a trade school with little sense of community, and Friday described the school as a place with “no sense of large involvement on campus and the great issues of the time.”

Agromeck‘s homecoming preview

Friday credited the strict classroom expectations as major influences in his character, but the young techie left a comparable impact on campus, working at Technician as sports editor and at games as an announcement broadcaster. He served in the General Assembly as a state representative his junior year and was elected Senior Class President. It was his involvement in student affairs on campus that made N.C. State home for Friday, who became the “mayor” of the school, and when he returned home from World War II, it was his connection to the University that allowed him to ascend the realm in education.

Technician wrote of Friday as the “ideal of every State College student that is really interested in the welfare of State College.” A friend of his, Doug Allison, said he didn’t know a single person who didn’t like Friday. It’s no coincidence that Glenn Kleiman, executive director of the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation, said the same thing. “He was the kind of guy who made everyone comfortable, and people from all walks of life and from all political backgrounds respected him,” Kleiman said. “I think he’ll be remembered as a leader for fostering collaboration.”

Pack Howl Preview Wale and Gloriana set to perform at Reynolds Coliseum Thursday Night story by Nicky Vaught

Wale

Ambition, 2011

Attention Deficit, 2009

Gloriana

It just isn’t Homecoming week without a celebrity performance. One walk around most parts of campus is enough to catch wind of this year’s homecoming artists, Wale and Gloriana. “It’s really exciting,” Josh Poole, a sophomore in mechanical engineering, said. “You wouldn’t expect them to get such big names to come here.” Wale, an American rapper discovered by producer Mark Ronson, is best known for his single, “Chillin’,” featuring Lady Gaga. The song was featured on Billboard’s Top 100. He has released two studio albums and plans to release a third next year. Gloriana, on the other hand, is a rising country music group best known for its single “Wild at Heart,” which was featured on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. The band is set to open for Wale. The concert is a part of Pack Howl, which also includes a pep rally. It is organized by the Union Activities Board as well as the Alumni Association. “It’s a joint decision,” Lauryn Collier, a senior in animal science and UAB president, said. “I was involved, representing UAB, but also the Alumni Association, since they’re the ones who are paying for it.” The Alumni Association donated $5,000 toward the event. The budget, according to Collier, affected the availability of artists. “Once you start narrowing down who’s available and the price range, there’s a small number to choose from,” Collier said. “We were thinking about Wale from the very beginning.” Collier said she considers booking Wale and Gloriana a success that many students will enjoy. “You can’t please everybody,” Collier said. “Every name that’s been thrown out we have probably checked ... It’s just really hard to get those names that students want. A lot of people say ‘We had Ludacris my freshman year,’ but sometimes those opportunities fall in our hands … but that can’t happen every semester of every year … I think people will enjoy Wale.”

Friday continued from p.4 Collaborating for change defined Friday’s presidency of the UNC System, which grew from three to 17 universities over his tenure from 1956 to 1986. He presided over the integration of the system and made college education more affordable and accessible to North Carolinians. “He reminded us that not everybody in North Carolina lives in Raleigh, that this is a big state, and we really need to close the achievement gap,” Kleiman said. “His vision was that every child in North Carolina had access to high-quality education from pre-school to graduate school. Until the end of his life, he was arguing and advocating for this.” His leadership played a key role in the development of Research Triangle Park, revolutionizing the economy of the state, shifting it from a largely

cellor Randy Woodson and leaders across the state have all celebrated Friday’s career of service to North Carolina since his death, but the unassuming “president” wouldn’t have expected the praise, Kleiman said. This characteristic may have been a diplomatic tactic Friday honed as a politician, or it may have been a quality he sharped as a student at State College. For instance, while working as an editor of the student newspaper, Friday said he “really didn’t do much work.” His colleague, Bob Pomerantz said Friday actually did all the work, and had a way of motiving people. Whether he was the sports editor, the Red Terror football announcer, the WWII solider, or the UNC President, people won’t remember Friday as an imposing leader, but rather just as “Bill,” the “quiet motivator.”

A Closer Look at Saturday’s Matchup N.C. State and Virginia have been battling it out on gridiron for more than 100 years story by sean fairholm

For a pair of schools steeped in basketball tradition, Virginia and N.C. State’s battles against each other on the gridiron have often been just as entertaining as those on the hard court. The Wahoos and Wolfpack have a colorful pigskin tradition dating back to 1904. The first game in series history was an unlucky beginning for North Carolina A&M, which wouldn’t even play its first on-campus football game for another three years. Virginia won the matchup 5-0, and followed it up four years later with a 6-0 win in Norfolk, which served as a neutral site on four occasions early on in the rivalry. After both programs joined the ACC in 1953, State went on to steamroll the Cavaliers until the early ‘80s, winning 21 of 22 contests. NCSU held Virginia to 14 points or less on 14 of 22 occasions and twice contributed to a 28-game losing streak — the second longest drought in FBS history — that UVA suffered from the third game of 1958 through the opening game of 1961. The momentum in the series drastically changed with the arrival of Cavalier coaching legend George Welsh, whose teams beat the Wolfpack 13 of his 19 seasons in Charlottesville. The Cavs won the 1989 and 1995 ACC Championships under Welsh’s watch and spent four weeks in 1990 as the nation’s top-ranked team. Connecting the two schools today is NCSU’s current head coach Tom O’Brien, who worked under Welsh for seven seasons at Navy (1975-1981)

Rivers completed 29 passes for four touchdowns and 410 yards in the Wolfpack’s 51-37 win over the Cavaliers. The game marked the last home win of Rivers’ college career.

and 15 seasons at Virginia (1982-1996). As a part of 10 consecutive winning seasons with the ‘Hoos, O’Brien spent his final six seasons as the team’s offensive coordinator and routinely directed one of the conference’s most potent offenses for Welsh. Though he couldn’t have known at that time, O’Brien would re-enter the Virginia-N.C. State series nearly a decade later after he was hired to lead the Pack in 2007. Following Welsh’s retire-

ment in 2000, State recaptured the momentum in the series by winning four of six matchups against Virginia, including three consecutive wins at Carter-Finley Stadium heading into the Nov. 3 Homecoming battle. For Wolfpack fans, the most memorable recent game against the Cavs came in 2003 when senior quarterback Phillip Rivers outgunned UVA’s Matt Schaub to clinch Rivers’ final win in his home stadium. The two quarterbacks com-

bined for a gaudy 803 passing yards, eight touchdownpasses and one interception while State running back T.A. McLendon broke the 3737 tie by scoring the winning touchdown with 23 seconds remaining. In 2007, State broke the heart of No. 15 Virginia when Daniel Evans passed for 347 yards and helped the home team end a nine-game losing streak in ACC competition. The 29-24 win was a back-andforth affair ultimately decided

by a 30-yard touchdown pass from Evans to Donald Bowens midway through the fourth quarter. The 2012 edition of Virginia (2-6, 0-4 ACC) vs. N.C. State (5-2, 2-1 ACC) is a lopsided affair on paper, as the Cavaliers visit Raleigh having lost six consecutive games. Following its 16-10 loss against Wake Forest, UVA has a bye week to prepare for the 12:30 p.m. kickoff Nov. 3, while State travels to Carolina Saturday to play its archrival.

With Homecoming just around the corner and the temperature dropping, keeping school spirit alive through fashion can become a chore. “A sorority girl is going to wear leggings no matter what. She’s going to want to look cute even if it’s freezing outside,” Suzanne Kobe, a sales associate at Fedora Boutique, said. Cameron Village boutiques such as Kannon’s Clothing, Ivy & Leo and Fedora are helping students show their spirit while staying warm. “We always tell our owners to send us everything that is red, white and black, because we know that our customers will buy that stuff out,” Austin Sconyers-Snow, a manager at Ivy & Leo, said. Sconyers-Snow said remaining comfy while still looking spirited is easy. Knowing college girls love to live in leggings and T-shirts, she recommends pairing them with flowing blouses. “Houndstooth is huge for fall and there’s the woven lace with stripes and polka dots, all of which are big for fall,” Sconyers-Snow said. 10

“I feel leather is a really big trend for fall; we have the red leather jacket that would toughen things up.” Layering, Sconyers-Snow said, is also a big fall trend. Everything from scarves to jackets to accessories can achieve the layered look. Dick Wright, a sales associate at Kannon’s Clothing, says men’s fashion, in terms of school spirit, has become increasingly popular. According to Wright, Bill’s khaki, a button-down shirt and a bow tie are key in successfully showing school spirit. “Throughout the South I know the boys are dressing with button-down collars and ties. Bow ties are always popular,” Wright said. “You can incorporate your school’s colors into little things like shirt and bow tie color.” Wright said anything with school colors is the way to go. “Anything with red and white on it,” Wright said. “You just want the stadium to be red and white. You want to see color out there.” Thursday, October 25, 2012
