The Change of Degree Application system was updated to make changing majors more accessible and less confusing for students, though transfer requirements still apply. The upgraded CODA system compiles all of the transfer requirements for undergraduate majors into one website. Students are now able to search for colleges and the majors they offer on one webpage. Michelle Johnson, senior associate registrar, said Registration and Records worked in conjunction with the Poole College of Management, the College of Engineering and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences to develop the new program. “We all wanted a single standard online application, which eliminates paper applications and helps set up a universal deadline,” Johnson said. The University formerly used different applications for each college, and they all had various deadlines. According to Chancellor Randy Woodson, the issue with intracampus transfers was identified by a student task force. All of the colleges at N.C. State have temporarily agreed that in order to apply to add or change a major, a student must have completed at least 12 credit hours and have a 2.0 minimum GPA. Some majors may require students to complete certain classes before they can apply for a transfer. “Colleges want to see that you can be successful before you switch majors,” Johnson said. “[They] don’t want students to change to another major if it seems they won’t be successful.” In the future, Johnson said she hopes colleges will move away from requiring certain grade point averages and specific courses. If students are unhappy in their current majors, then their GPA will reflect that. Casey Reep, a sophomore in First Year College, said she likes the new system since it’s easier to search and find colleges and specific majors. Reep said she plans to use the new system in January to apply to be an English major.

“There’s not a lot of hassle or hunting for the requirements anymore,” Reep said. The entire process of adding or changing a major can be completed online by going to the N.C. State website and searching “CODA.” Select the red “proceed to application” button during the application cycles. After clicking on this button, students will be prompted to log in with their unity ID and password. Students can then select a college and a specific major that they would like to switch into or add. No matter which degree or college a student picks, the new program will automatically check to see if the minimum requirements to apply are met. If a student does not meet the minimum requirements then the program will not allow the student to apply to that particular college or major. “This process is designed to be simple,” Johnson said. “We don’t want it to be like another round of admissions.” The second step in the program will simulate students’ projected new audit to see where they stand by means of credit hours and how many more they will need. This is helpful in allowing students, regardless of class, to know whether or not switching into or adding another major will affect their graduation dates. In the third step, students clarify if they want to add or change their current major. If students already have two majors then they will have to decide which one they are trying to change. “This program gives the student some control,” Johnson said. More than 1,000 applications have already been submitted without much advertising except by word of mouth. With the success of the new CODA system, the University plans to incorporate another system where students can declare or change a minor online.

TAKING A MOMENT TO REMEMBER

GREG WILSON/TECHNICIAN

Matthew Kent, junior in textile engineering, takes a moment out of his Wednesday morning to appreciate the 800 flags arranged outside of Witherspoon Hall, each representing a veteran from N.C. State. “I think it’s a really cool idea and it’s a great way to show support for our troops” Kent said.

BoG recommends sooner class drop date Staff Report The Board of Governors recommended that schools in the UNC System push the date at which students can drop classes to 10 days after the start of the semester during the board’s meeting Thursday. N.C. State’s current drop date is eight weeks after the start of the semester. Though the board made the recommendation to UNC-System President Tom Ross, he said he must

consult with students from various schools in the system before he can make a decision. Rachel Turner, chief of staff under Student Body President Andy Walsh, said NCSU Chancellor Randy Woodson and UNC-Chapel Hill Chancellor Holden Thorp advocated to not shorten the dates. “We weighed the pros and cons of the idea, but we decided not to vote on it at all, and handed it to President Ross,” Turner said. “Many of

the Board members said this wasn’t a cookie-cutter thing. We were confused why it even came up.” Turner said the problem came up after UNC-System students complained that they could not register for classes they needed. With the proposed drop date, Turner said university administrators think classes will be able to retain and add students to classes more efficiently.

A discussion on the results of Tuesday’s elections was held in Caldwell Hall Wednesday afternoon. Steven Greene, associate professor of political science, and Andrew Taylor, professor of political science, led the discussion. The event was casual — questions and dialogue could come from anyone in attendance. Taylor said the “strongest” or “most intelligent” conclusions

about an election could not be made just 24 hours after it, but there were still some interesting points to be made. The discussion covered the elections in the House and Senate, but focused on the presidential race. Overall, the audience walked away with some interesting facts about Tuesday’s election. Greene mentioned the success of social science in the days leading up to the election. “The people who compiled data from polls to make predictions were basically dead on,” Greene said. “I found that very edifying.”

Greene emphasized the role of demographics in President Barack Obama’s victory. While non-Hispanic Caucasians voted for Mitt Romney “60-40” according to Greene, non-white voters voted for Obama “80-20.” In addition, he mentioned that Republicans tend to rely on the vote of older voters, while Democrats typically get the younger vote. This held true on Tuesday — the youth vote for Obama even increased from 18 percent in 2008 to 19 percent, a number many critics

Megan Dunton Last year’s realignment of the Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity has gone successfully and smoothly, according to the Women’s Center, the GLBT Center and Multicultural Student Affairs. The vision of the OIED is to foster an inclusive campus community of students, faculty and staff who value and inspire personal, academic and professional excellence. All three centers were moved under the umbrella of the OIED on July 1, 2011 by Chancellor Randy Woodson’s realignment plan. This move reflected an effort to continue enhancing the University’s commitment to equity and diversity. According to Ashley SimonsRudolph, director of the Women’s Center, the OIED has provided better collaboration through improved communication. Simons-Rudolph said the centers collaborate on most events and programs. “I think that coming together as

an OIED family has provided a lot of benefits, including cross-promotion of events, programs and services,” Simons-Rudolph said. “Now that we are organized it makes it that much easier because we share a calendar, we share a supervisor and we meet monthly as directors. We are able to better speak to our sister centers about their programs.” Rod Bradley, director of Multicultural Student Affairs, also said the

collaboration enabled better communication. “The provost has provided an opportunity for a very open and clear communication between units just in the frequency we all are able to connect with one another,” Bradley said. Simons-Rudolph said the program is only getting bigger and

In an age where “clean air” and “ozone” are everyday terms, one of N.C. State’s own professors was appointed to chair the Environmental Protection Agency Clean Air Committee earlier this semester. H. Christopher Frey, a distinguished university professor of civil, construction and environmental engineering, is not a stranger to working with the EPA, and he has been on the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee for four years. EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson appointed Frey to the position — a promotion he attributes to his previous experience with the committee. “The appointment was both a surprise and not a surprise, but it’s always a surprise to actually get the decision,” Frey said. “I

knew there was a chance I could get the appointment just given my experience with CASAC and the time I had spent chairing one of the panels. I had a track record.” CASAC is responsible for reviewing the scientific basis of the National Ambient Air Quality Standard. The NAAQS sets an air concentration limit that six nationally regulated pollutants cannot surpass. Every five years, panels review each of the pollutants, and some reviews happen simultaneously. Frey currently chairs the ozone and lead panels. Each of the panels reviews studies conducted by EPA staff and analyzes the scientific basis of each. The EPA also conducts a risk assessment that predicts statistics on premature death and illness if the pollutant concentration thresholds were lowered. The EPA takes the panels’ findings and proposes a policy that either maintains or lowers the stan-

dard. “We basically provide advice to the administrators for all six pollutants every five years,” Frey said. Frey is interested in conducting the panel on lead because of its neuro-cognitive effects on children. One way the panel is able to quantify the damage done by lead is by looking at intelligent quotients of a population of children. “For each pollutant, a particular group or population is studied to look at the disproportionate harm that population endures due to its high exposure,” Frey said. “The panel reviews the scientific basis of these important studies to make sure the science

been a benefit to us and our working capacity. Ultimately, the stronger we are the more diversity programming we can provide.” Tracey E. Ray, assistant vice provost for student diversity, said it was faculty who pushed the realignment that resulted in the OIED. Ray also said the realignment built on existing relationships and really only changed the structure in a few ways. “One of the major changes with the realignment was that these centers would not just serve students, but staff as well,” Ray said. Ray said the OIED built better communication, but its more important function has been facilitating a synergy for all the centers. Ray also said it simplified things for students and made resources

easier to find, locate and contact. Justine Hollingshead, director of the GLBT Center, said through the collaboration and support of OIED, the GLBT Center has not only been able to improve its communication with the other centers, but the center has been able to add a fulltime staff position. “Joanne Woodard, the vice provost of OIED, and the rest of OIED have been very supportive for the whole realignment process,” Hollingshead said. “We have been able to create new relationships with people on campus and to also help educate people ... to help champion the greater diversity cause.”

is sound.” Each of the panels consists of 15 to 20 experts on various aspects of that pollutant such as air quality, exposure, health or ecological effects. “It’s fun to learn about all the different perspectives, and I enjoy chairing these panels,” Frey said. “I have a lot of respect for the participants of the panels I work with. It’s hard work, but all of us enjoy it, and we all feel like it is important work for the country to provide sound scientific basis for these air quality standards.” Frey will continue to teach, advise and conduct research for the College of Engineering since CASAC is located in Research Triangle Park. This is not the first time Frey has been recognized for his work in environmental

engineering. Earlier this year, he was awarded the Lyman A. Ripperton Environmental Educator Award by the Air and Waste Management Association. The unique award recognizes educators in the air pollution control field who teach with rigor, humility, pride and humor. Recipients are also recognized by their students’ achievements. Frey’s research is concentrated in the areas of air pollution emissions, exposure and risk assessment and system analysis of energy technologies. Frey teaches classes including Air Quality, Principles of Air Quality Engineering, and Environmental Exposure and Risk Analysis.

Leadership independent of personality Alex Petercuskie Staff Writer

Psychologists have discovered that regardless of personality type, social skills are one of the most important qualities of being a leader, and these interpersonal skills are inherent in people with both extroverted and introverted personalities, according to an Oct. 27 Psychology Today report. Extroverts are associated with having high energy levels, expressing emotion and wanting to feel close to others, while introverts are more low-key and enjoy solitude. The study concluded that personality type does not effect leadership capability. All effective leaders, according to the study, possess emotional and social competency, despite other traits. Abraham Lincoln and Mahatma Gandhi were both introverts and strong leaders. When applying for jobs, countless businesses require their future employees to participate in personality tests, and these types of tests may also inform teachers about the best teaching methods used for students with diverse learning styles. N.C. State’s First Year College recently used a personality test to help students determine their career paths by honing in on individual interests and personalities. These students partook in an MVPI personality test — a motives, values and preference inventory — according to the Society for Human Resource Management. The test is helpful in matching

one’s personality to a work environment, as well as predicting future job success and satisfaction. Mirna Dave, a freshman in First Year College, participated in the personality test at the beginning of the semester and said she believed the multiple choice test was mostly accurate. Dave said the test consisted of hypothetical situations and gave two responses for each regarding how the participant would behave. Dave said this forced her to choose between options, even if one might not always be the case. Dave said her results concluded that she was introverted and perceiving, and said that two careers she was considering were listed within her results. Dave agreed with research findings that claim being an introvert or extrovert does not determine leadership effectiveness, and said that having a goal is the most important aspect of being a good leader. “It doesn’t matter if you’re not super outgoing, if you have a goal then that will drive you to talk to people. Personality-wise, you have to be open and flexible,” Dave said. “Just because I am not super outgoing doesn’t mean I don’t like to talk to people.” Dave is currently an intern for North Carolina Public Interest Research Group, a non-partisan student organization on campus, and said her role in organizing different events on campus makes her a leader, despite her introverted personality. A popular saying holds that

people don’t quit their jobs, they quit their bosses. How a leader, such as the manager of a store, makes employees feel through encounters with them has a direct influence on job satisfaction, according to Hogan Assessment Systems, a well-known research group which provides businesses with tools for assessing the personalities of future employees. According a Gallup poll of more than one million U.S. workers, having a bad supervisor was the top reason why people left a job, rather than their pay rate or any other factor.

Commemorating Veterans Day The unsigned editorial is the opinion of the members of Technician’s editorial board, excluding the news department, and is the responsibility of the editor-in-chief.

ARCHIVE/TECHNICIAN

Leading up to the elections and on Tuesday, a large part of our attention was focused on the future. But on Sunday, there is an occasion that calls for looking solemnly at the present and into the past — Veterans Day. The commemoration has already begun. On Tuesday evening, a group of 21 students, staff, veterans and family members mounted 888 flags on Harris Field outside Witherspoon Student Center to honor veterans. This effort was sponsored by the Student Veterans Association, Violence Prevention and Threat Management, UAB, N.C. State Staff Senate, University Recreation and N.C. State ROTC. Continuing an annual tradition, there was also a two-mile Veterans Day run around campus organized by the ROTC at 6 a.m. today, followed by a breakfast at the Bell

Tower at 6:30 a.m. Each year, at the service following the run, a veteran alum or University official would give a speech honoring veterans. Last year, Tom Stafford, the former vice chancellor for Student Affairs and an Army veteran, had given a speech after the run at the Bell Tower ceremony. But having retired in July after leading student affairs for 30 years, he will not be with us this year. The Bell Tower is especially relevant to Veterans Day. Although it is now a symbol of our University and our school spirit, it was originally built as a World War I memorial dedicated to alumni veterans. Thus, each year on the night leading into Veterans Day, there is a candlelight vigil held at the Bell Tower. This year as well, ROTC cadets and cadre will pay homage to the servicemen and

women who have died for our country. Two guards will watch over a candle, an American flag and a POW/MIA flag at the Bell Tower through the entire night, with a formal shift of guard every hour. The United States is blessed to have had ample young men and women who have been willing to give their lives for their country. Many of these have been from N.C. State. Technician would like to pay tribute to those who have served in the United States Armed Forces. In particular, we would like to stand in somber remembrance of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. We thank the ROTC for organizing these campus events on Veterans Day, and would like to affirm — we will never forget .those who have fought for our country.

An Obama win or a Romney loss?

lt houg h ma ny Americans spent Tuesday night rejoicing in President Barack Obama’s re-election, not everyone who voted for Obama was really voting for Obama — they were voting against G o v. M i t t Romney. In President Obama’s vicMegan tory speech on Ellisor election night, Staff columnist he stated the following in an attempt to unite Democrats and Republicans: “I believe we can seize this future together because we are not as divided as our politics suggest. We’re not as cynical as the pundits believe.” However, John Cassidy of The New Yorker suggests, “A truly cynical pundit might have pointed out that it was [Obama] who ran a cynical campaign, transforming the election from a referendum on his own record, which he needed Bill Clinton to help him defend, into a referendum on the fitness of Mitt Romney and the Republicans to wield power, while saying relatively little about what he would do in a second term.” In Wednesday’s editorial, The Wall Street Journal said Obama’s strategy was “to portray Romney as a plutocrat.” Because of this, along with the “relatively little” Obama said about his second term, this was supposed

Response to “Good morning, America”

}

This is specifically in response to Ishan Raval’s “Good morning, America,” though it could apply to most of his essays. I feel like I read the same thing in each of them — at least, they almost always follow the same template: America is a bad place, our government is lying to us, greedy corporations (especially oil companies) are exploiting us in their unjustifiable quest for profit, our military is evil and unjust, and that the American people are either asleep or incredibly stupid for allowing ourselves to be exploited so horribly. The way these essays present our country, you would think we were either living in a totalitarian police state or on the verge of becoming a nation

to be the election Romney could win. But of the nine states listed as “battleground states,” only North Carolina was won by Romney. Here’s what went wrong for Romney and right for Obama, making the country go left: David Paine of The Huffington Post points out, “The Romney campaign … never really gave us a good reason to vote for Mitt. They gave us a lot of reasons to vote against Obama, but never effectively made the case for Romney himself.” In fact, some may go as far as to say he and his supporters (Ann Coulter) gave us more reasons not to vote for him. For example, his infamous 47 percent comment forced minorities to vote indisputably Democratic in this election. Republican former House speaker Newt Gingrich says that not only Romney, but the Republican Party as a whole “‘simply has to learn to appear more inclusive to minorities, particularly Hispanics,” as reported in The Wall Street Journal. But you don’t have to actually support minorities — you just have to “appear” that way. Romney embarrassingly lost Michigan and Massachusetts, his state of birth and his state of governance respectively. To top it off, he also lost his running mate’s native state, Wisconsin. Fox News places much of the blame on social media.

Rich Noyes said, “The media’s biased gaffe patrol hammered Romney,” particularly on his 47 percent comment. Noyes points out that when Obama made the comment, “If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that, somebody else made that happen,” ABC, CBS and NBC did not make note of it for the four days after it was said. Furthermore, Mitt Romney’s “Why don’t airplane windows roll down?” joke was not so well received. When taken out of context, several newspapers including The Washington Post made him appear inconceivably incoherent. H o w e v e r, P r e s i d e n t Obama’s handling of Hurricane Sandy during the final week of campaigning allowed him to comfortably win all of New England and the Northeast. Peter Hamby of CNN reports, “New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican, seemed to lavish praise on Obama in the wake of Sandy’s destruction, allowing Obama to appear bipartisan just as Romney was attacking him for being petty and partisan.” Some Republicans blame the media while others blame Christie for Romney’s loss. While the Republican Party overanalyzes every step of the campaign in hopes of improving their chances in 2016, President Obama will remain just that — president for four more years.

similar to North Korea.

these advances — that are dependent on fossil fuel use — 15 to 20 percent of the world’s population would die. How will we pick those people?

In essays that are always pointing to “facts,” he fails to consider that our country — for all its failures — is still a good place to live and our ideals are still a source of hope and a model for the rest of the world. I would ask what evidence is there that our government is “spying” on us? Last time I checked, phone calls between Americans and emails (according to the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals) required a warrant to allow the government access to them. Secondly, the “evil” oil companies that are exploiting us for profit provide us with the energy needed to provide not only electricity and gasoline, but also make it possible to provide enough food to support the world’s population. Fossil fuels have made it possible for corn farmers to increase their yield per acre more than 400 percent in less than a century. Without

Finally, we use drones to target specific terrorist leaders. Without this capability we would have to either use bombs from airplanes or send in soldiers to conduct raids. Both of those methods would cause far more civilian and military casualties than currently occur. I would simply remind people that if the problems we face had easy answers we would have solved them already. We don’t live in a perfect world and sometimes difficult situations require complex and sometimes imperfect solutions. I have heard all of the things Mr. Raval doesn’t like, but I have yet to hear how he would do things differently. Jon Kiess junior, political science

etween editing in the Technician office twice a week, club meetings and other personal commitments, the only night I’m ever guaranteed to have some time to myself is Wednesday night. Still, one night can be plenty, giving me a chance to catch up on my favorite shows and do a bit of Jordan reading. Alsaqa Last week, Associate it me a nt Features Editor I got a chance to watch the Halloween episode of South Park. The show hasn’t been the best in recent years, but this outing, featuring characters dressed as the Avengers and a parody of The Shining, was a solid one. However, there was a part of it that made me really think about where consumer markets are headed these days. In the episode, Randy had invested all of his family’s money to buy a Blockbuster. However, with so many people renting movies on portable devices and through the Internet, nobody comes to the store, causing him to slowly lose his mind. Though it made for a funny episode, the overall theme that physical storefronts and media

have become archaic was a bit troubling. There’s no denying the fact that the past decade has brought about a digital revolution, starting with the advent of music downloads. It’s true digital media has made shopping an easier process. Whether you’re looking for music, movies or video games, everything is just an iTunes, Amazon or Steam search away. Even comic books have become easy to find online, with all major publishers embracing sameday releases of their titles in stores and digitally. However, just because digital content has grown into such a large market, it doesn’t mean the physical side is worthless. While I use digital storefronts for certain purchases, I’m a junkie for physical products, but not just because I like seeing my newest graphic novel sitting on the shelf. The biggest thing lost in the move away from physical stores is the stores themselves. No matter how comprehensive Amazon’s library might be, nothing beats getting to pick the latest book or game release up in your hands and look it over before you buy it. Plus, going into the store for one thing and finding something else that catches your eye is a great experience. The best part, though, is when you’re lucky enough to find a store where the staff actually cares about what it is doing and wants to help you find something you’re going

to love. This happens most frequently in independent stores, but it’s an awesome feeling to walk into a comic store and have the staff greet you by name. I’ll admit that I’m an Amazon Prime member with numerous orders under my belt. The savings the website offers are often too good to ignore, especially on a college student’s budget. However, when I can afford the extra bit, going into local shops like Foundation’s Edge or Gamer’s Armory is a much better experience. I mentioned that Wednesday is the one night of the week I’m guaranteed to have to myself, and if I have the chance, I’ll use that time to go out and visit one of the stores I love. Even when I don’t buy anything, there’s a sense of discovery and fun that looking through the shelves inspires. It wouldn’t surprise me if in 20 years everyone has a tablet as a one-stop shop for media consumption. However, I still hope there will be a healthy collection of shops like Best Buy, GameStop and Barnes & Noble. Digital may be the most convenient way to enjoy certain types of media, but I’ll always be a fan of visiting the stores and seeing what’s new in person.

They are very involved in their community and are so much fun to be around.” Sarah Cutler’s family has been chosen as a representation of true Wolfpack pride, an achievement that Cutler doesn’t take for granted. “I think it is really cool to have a family that I really do miss when I’m at school, but that I also have a school that I miss when I’m at home,” Cutler said. “I feel like I have the best of both worlds in that respect and I’m really thankful for that.”

Five designers from N.C. State have been busy the past few weeks making use of their skills in design and fashion for an event centered on the idea of charity. Because of their efforts and those of 14 other designers, Couture for a Cause, hosted by Activate Good, a nonprofit organization, is primed to showcase not only the talent of local designers but also the work by charities on Saturday night at the Marbles Kids Museum. Couture for a Cause, now in its fourth year, brings together designers based around the Triangle and pairs them with different charities. For first-time participant Amanda Walker, a senior studying art and design, this opportunity to use her design skills for charity is something new and exciting. In October, like many of her fellow designers, Walker had the opportunity to meet with representatives of her respective charity, the Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood Foundation. Walker never heard about

alternating hemiplegia in children before but she said the more she learned about it, the more she got excited about doing something to benefit the kids who have the disorder. While alternating hemiplegia is rare, the effects are severe and the disorder is not well-understood. Children who have the disorder experience paralysis and many things can trigger the symptom, Walker said. In addition to the symptoms of alternating hemiplegia, roughly 50 percent of children who have the disorder also suffer from epilepsy. “A kid would just be playing and something would trigger it, it may be a loud noise or just anxiety or excitement and then they’d be paralyzed,” Walker said. “They wouldn’t be able to move their arms or anything for 15 minutes or even longer. For kids it’s very terrifying because they know what’s going on but their body is just in shock.” On Oct. 10, Jeff Wuchich, the president of the AHC Foundation, invited Walker to his home to eat dinner with

his family. That day, Walker also met with Wuchich’s son Matthew, who has a case of alternating hemiplegia and epilepsy as well as diabetes. Because of the meeting, Walker said she was able to relate more with the efforts to confront the disorder and was better able to represent the AHC Foundation. “I’ve done charity work before but I’ve never really had to do it through my major, through fashion,” Walker said. “This is my first opportunity to do the two together so that’s really cool.” Walker said that her experience with Wuchich was not

only helpful because of the inspiration she gained for her designs, but also because she said she was able to see other ways that she could use her talents in fashion design. “[Initially,] I had some neurological patterns and that kind of stuff, but because I was able to meet up with Jeff and ask him, ‘OK, what do you really want me to portray?’ and he said that the main thing he really wanted was to portray hope because these are kids and they are young and they’re growing people, I completely did a 180 with my design,” Walker said. Walker has prepared two designs for the Saturday show, a ready-to-wear piece and a couture design that dis-

plays, more conceptually and artistically, the efforts to confront alternating hemiplegia. She said she is eager to show people what she’s come up with and is eager to do what she can to support the foundation, a partnership that she hopes will only grow after Couture for a Cause is over. “When I found out that I could use all of the skills that I had been learning for charity, it was just really cool because I actually didn’t have much of that opportunity before,” Walker said. “Many people don’t have the opportunity to use their career and find a way to use that for a humanitarian purpose.”

said would decrease. Keeping with the demographic theme, both speakers emphasized the role of Hispanics in the election. Roughly 69 to 70 percent of Hispanic voters voted for Obama, which is an increase from last election among the nation’s fastest growing group, according to Greene. “Obviously the Democrats have the African American demographic locked up, but that hasn’t been necessarily true for the Hispanic vote in the past,” Greene said. “It is interesting thinking about policy for this. Maybe the Dream Act was the key,

Senior forward Richard Howell managed to break out and have a wonderful season last year despite consistent foul trouble. The senior from Marietta, Ga. finished third in the conference with a rebounding average of 9.2 per game during the 2011-12 season. The final returning starter is senior sharpshooter Scott Wood. The native of Mari-

TECHNICIAN which allows foreigners who came here as minors residence here.” Taylor had similar thoughts on the issue, and both speakers agreed the Republican tone with Hispanic voters is hurting them. “It’s tone over substance,” Taylor said. “In major elections over the past 15 years, Republ ica ns have done poorly when there is a focus on immigration because they have a negative tone. [Republican presidential nominee] Bob Dole did poorly with Hispanic voters in 1996 because he made immigration sound like a negative issue.” In addition, both speakers acknowledged the inefficiency of bi-partisanship, and how compromise might not

be easy in our political future. “I don’t see any evidence that Republicans are moving towards moderation on social issues,” Greene said. “The Republican Party is constitutionally, in their DNA, the ‘no-compromise’ party. Even in opinion polls, Republican voters aren’t prone to compromise.” Taylor affirmed what both speakers believe is another major reason why compromise will be hard to come by. “I think it has more to do with the political context and whether or not you are opposing, or the incumbent,” Taylor said. “If you’re the minority, you’re going to want to promote your beliefs as much as possible.”

on, Ind. set a school record last season by shooting 90.7 percent from the free-throw line and is second in school history with 230 3-pointers during his first three years. Howell, along with Wood, is entering his final year in Raleigh. The 6-foot-8-inch senior has seen profound growth in his own game over the last three seasons, and it mirrors the improvement N.C. State has made during that same stretch. Like Gottfried, Howell now seeks to take the final step.

“We all have one goal and that’s to win a championship,” Howell said. “I feel like if everyone plays their role we have nothing to worry about. I’m hungry for it. I definitely feel like we can get it done.” At tonight’s game, the Food Bank of North Carolina will be accepting canned goods donations.

In his first year at State after transferring from High Point, Martinez finished the season with 32 points on 11 goals and 10 assists. He is the first member of the Pack to finish the season with double-digit scoring and assist totals since Henry Gutierrez in 1991 and the first double-digit scorer since Ronnie Bouemboue in 2008.

DID YOU KNOW? The women’s basketball team is 34-4 in season opening game and it has won nine straight season openers. The Pack also hasn’t lost back-to-back nonconference home games since 2002.

N.C. State (5-4, 2-3 ACC), currently on a two-game losing streak, will aim to turn its season around as it looks toward bowl contention against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons (5-4, 3-4 ACC) Saturday at Carter-Finley Stadium. In its last encounter in Winston-Salem, the Wolfpack stalled on its final drive and finished a touchdown short in defeat, 34-27. Last week, State suffered its worst defeat of the season with a 27-point deficit against Virginia. The game was also the first time this season that graduate-student quarterback Mike Glennon threw for less than 200 yards. “We didn’t show up and play the way we’re capable of playing last Saturday,” head coach Tom O’Brien said. “So it’s upon us to get back to the way we were playing the previous four weeks before that. If that happens, then we’ll put ourselves into a position to win.” One aspect that needs to be improved is allowing points in the first quarter. The Pack has allowed 97 points in the opening quarter this season, which accounts for 45 percent of total points allowed. Along with that, State has scored 63 points in the first quarter, which is 28 percent of its scoring. The second quarter is where the Pack capitalizes on its opponent the most. The Wolfpack has only allowed a total of 15 points in the second quarter, with two of those coming from a Virginia safety last Saturday. The offense has produced opposing results, having scored 76 points in the second period of play this sea-

son. Turnovers have plagued the Wolfpack in its losses. The Pack has turned the ball over 14 times more than the opponent in a loss, but it has taken the ball away eight times more than the opponent in games that it wins. Against Virginia, Glennon threw three interceptions and fumbled the ball once, and redshirt junior wide receiver Rashard Smith turned the ball over to the Cavaliers as well. The running attack continues to stall, as redshirt sophomore running back Tony Creecy and freshman running back Shadrach Thornton have not found solutions for their struggles on the ground. Thornton and Creecy ran for 13 and 28 yards rushing, respectively. “We definitely have to pick it up in the running game,” Creecy said. “In

the past weeks, we haven’t done so good. Missing [redshirt senior offensive guard] Zach Allen has been a key part to this, but it can’t be the only thing we have to depend on. Zach Allen was a great blocker, and we have other great blockers, and I need to pick it up more. I have to do better on my reads. I have to run the ball tougher. With that, we’re going to do better in the running game.” The Demon Deacons will look to junior quarterback Tanner Price to lead the team to victory over the Wolfpack. He has completed 171 passes for 1,852 yards and 12 touchdowns. Wake redshirt junior tailback Josh Harris leads the team in rushing yards with 592 yards and five touchdowns on the ground. The Wolfpack defense will have a lot of talent on the other side of the line

of scrimmage to stop. “Wake Forest has a good squad,” senior safety Brandan Bishop said. “They’ve got some weapons, so we’ve got our hands full this week, but we’re going to keep working hard.” As the season winds down, there comes the question if the Pack can earn a postseason bid and for which bowl game will it qualify. ESPN analyst Mark Schlabach has projected State traveling to El Paso, Texas to take on Stanford in the Hyundai Sun Bowl, while ESPN commentator Brad Edwards predicts a return to Charlotte to play against the Cincinnati Bearcats in the Belk Bowl. Kickoff will be at 3 p.m. at Carter-Finley Stadium. Raycom Sports Network will provide television coverage for the game.
