Students to choose their favorite professors for distinguished award Alexandra Kenney Staff Writer

Student Government will hold its third annual Distinguished Professor Award Lecture Tuesday, March 19. The event will give students a chance to nominate teachers based on who they are rather than what they teach, said Joseph Moo-Young, Student Government academics commissioner and senior majoring in chemical and textile engineering. “This event recognizes professors that students see as influential and interesting,” Moo-Young said. “The event is very student-driven.” Students nominate professors they find deserving of the award. Student Government’s academic commissioners collect votes to narrow down professors and then select the winners. “This award represents the voice of the students,” Moo-Young said. “That is what makes the award stand out, it is what makes it special.” Student Government will accept

nominations until March 2. On March 11, they will come together and choose the professors to speak at the event. The chosen professors will speak for 10 to 15 minutes. The topics of these speeches vary and are not necessarily scholastic, Moo-Young said. The winners typically try to express themselves as real people, not merely as professors. Rupert Nacoste, a professor of psychology, was a winner in the first distinguished professor event. Nacoste said he felt blown away and was honored by the award. “Students had, on their own, put my name forward for this award. That made the award feel very, very important,” Nacoste said. “Imagine that out of normal channels, your name is put forward by those you teach to say that you are distinguished. Wow.” Robert Bruck, a professor of plant pathology, was honored in the second event. “Of the many awards and honors that I have received over my career,

the Student Government award is in many ways the most significant,” Bruck said. “To be recognized by our students for having made a contribution is affirming and motivating to me to continue doing an even better job.” Other past winners include David Jones, a professor of agriculture; Robert Patterson, a professor of crop science; David Washington, a teaching associate professor in the department of management; and Philip Dail, who has since retired from his position as the director of advising in the College of Textiles. Students will soon be able to nominate their favorite professors, and many professors hope they do, Nacoste said. “I hope the event continues because I think that a student-initiated recognition of teaching is as important as recognitions of teaching that go through administrative channels,” Nacoste said. “After all, who can recognize distinguished teaching better than those who make up the audience for that teaching?”

“This is a huge advantage, because you know what you’ve sold before you even picked it.”

Student competition makes campus greener Sara Awad Staff Writer

Centennial Campus will no longer be the only source of technological innovation N.C. State has to offer. Aaron Burkhart, winner of the Think Outside the Brick Competition and a junior in environmental technology, drafted plans that would bring solar chargers to main campus. Once complete University approval is reached, the sustainability competition will award Burkhart $1,000 to put his plan into action. Burkhart won the competition with the help of Students for Solar, a club in which Burkhart serves as head of planning operations. Together, they proposed putting solar chargers in the outside area of the Atrium. “Other universities are doing a lot in renewable

TECHNICIANONLINE.COM COMMENT OF THE DAY This comment refers to the editorial “Bad things, too, must come to an end” on the University facilities choosing to demolish Riddick Stadium Field House:

“Quite honestly, this article ticks me off. First and foremost, the field house is one of the more historic landmarks on campus, although few know of its existence and even fewer know why it is there. Secondly, the fact that you make the claim that ‘our editorial board will be the first to admit that [some buildings] make this ugly campus even uglier.’” -Disappointed Reader

energy, and it’s time for N.C. State to take it up a notch,” Burkhart said. “I want the Wolfpack to be number one.” Burkhart said he had been working on his winning proposal since September and is still awaiting approval from University Dining this week in order to make sure the cables are lined up properly. The plan involves attaching a solar panel to one of the light poles outside the Atrium. Wires attached to the solar panel will lead to outlets on three tables where students can then charge electronic devices, such as laptops. Once approved, Burkhart hopes to have the equipment ready by March 1, after which he will begin to “put the pieces together.” Burkhart said he was inspired by old ideas like the solar pavilion in the Honors Village, but wanted to expand the idea to enable more students to be affected and take notice of renewable energy

methods in their lives. “I wanted to try to get us in the eye of the student body,” Burkhart said. “It was one of our most unique and progressive ideas,” Abby Gingrich, a junior in environmental technology and co-head of the competition, said. “It’s something that will advertise sustainability and it will make it something that everyone is faced with on a day-to-day basis.” According to Gingrich, most proposals utilize locations like Centennial Campus or the Honors Village that are far from the center of much of the student activity. Gingrich added the project should be complete by graduation. The competition struggled last year and was unable to declare a winner due to only receiving three proposals, none of which met competitive criteria. This year, nine applicants entered but the committee selected one runner-up instead of two, as

originally promised, as no other proposals matched the criteria of the competition, Gingrich said. The extra $500 that would have gone to the 2nd runnerup will fund future advertisements and the creation of plaques on projects that have already been developed. Burkhart said he only anticipates construction taking one weekend, so any disruption would be minimal. “We really hope the student body enjoys it, and, if successful, we hope we can get donations from students to continue to expand the project to every table,” Burkhart said. Burkhart said the application process was not easy and included creating both the budget and design. “We get all kinds of ideas and that’s what I love about [the competition],” Gingrich said, adding that the application is meant to be unspecific and open for interpretation, allowing students to be more creative with their ideas.

SUMIT FOR NEXT YEAR

SUSTAINABILITY.NCSU.EDU Submit your idea of a sustainable project.

Burkhart said he already selected the items for the project and secured a partnership with Southern Energy Management, an acclaimed solar energy firm based in Morrisville, but is continuing to work out the details with the help of Students for Solar. A former winner of the Think Outside the Brick Competition started the club, which received an undergraduate research grant and conducted a solar feasibility study of the University, Burkhart said. Burkhart will next compete in the ACC Green Energy Challenge, a regional competition sponsored by the Department of Energy that awards a $100,000 grant for an environmental business.

N.C. State alumnus Eric Bowen holds a duck at a farmers’ market. Bowen, a graduate of the College of Natural Resources started a virtual farmers’ market to help farmers save profits and eliminate waste.

proximately $10,000 of produce a week using the online system. In addition to being an advocate for fresh produce and the food revolution, Bowen is a strong advocate for finding open source solutions to solve a variety of problems facing society, including the food crisis faced in America and worldwide. As a result, Bowen is currently working on networking with farmers, entrepreneurs and food activists who believe in open source to devise shared solutions. “All of our solutions need to be open source,” Bowen said. “If you stand to make a buck, and want to copyright everything, we’re not going to go anywhere.”

Dance marathon raises $60K Tim Gorski Staff Writer

Hundreds of students joined together at an all-night dance marathon to help rally funds and support to combat childhood illness. The marathon raised more than $60,000 for The Children Miracle Network at the Duke Children’s Hospital. More than 150 schools across the nation participate in Dance Marathon to help raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network, an international non-profit organization, which has raised about $3.4 billion for 170 hos-

pitals around the world. This was N.C. State’s first dance marathon and the event raised more money than is typically expected. UNC-Chapel Hill’s f irst dance marathon raised about $40,000. Chapel Hill in total has raised about $3.3 million dollars. The University’s administration said it will hold similar marathons annually and hopes that students can meet the challenge of raising more money every year. Amanda Brookie, a senior in fashion and textile management and a director of the Dance Marathon at NCSU,

said helping kids and having a great time volunteering is very satisfying. “Giving up one night and being on your feet for 12.5 hours may seem like a lot, but I can not even put into words how powerful and heartwarming the dance marathon was,” Brookie said. “Getting to meet the children and families at the marathon that we raised money for this past year was so special and inspiring.” Alan Sheridan, a graduate student in computer science, led the diverse group of students that put together the University’s first marathon.

A refreshing plunge for charity PHOTO BY CHRIS RUPERT

van Fischer jumps into the chilly waters of Lake Raleigh Saturday for the N.C. State Polar Plunge. Participants of the Plunge ran into the frigid water to raise money for Special Olympics North Carolina. “It was colder than I expected” Fischer stated, “Breathtaking I suppose. I wanted to yell but nothing came out.” The plunge is a benefit event for the Special Olympics and is put on by Campus Police. According to Sheridan, the idea for the event came to him when he was at a similar dance marathon in Chapel Hill. He said he found the cause of raising money for children with serious medical conditions to be inspirational. For Sheridan, seeing the event at Chapel Hill begged the question: “Why not do it at N.C. State?” N.C. State has the largest student population in the UNC System and many students do not live not too far from main campus. One key aspect of the dance marathon

that Sheridan thought would be beneficial for the students is its ability to bring people together. Whether you’re in Greek life, studying engineering or English, tall or short, everyone has a compelling reason to come together to dance, have fun and help out those in need in the process, Sheridan said. The 12-and-a-half-hour marathon, which took place from Saturday at 7:30 p.m. to Sunday at 8:00 a.m., had something for everyone even for those who do not like to dance. The event featured

board games, video games, speeches, a computer station for social networking and letter and craft stations for students who wanted to make things for the kids. Many important University figures attended the event to speak on the behalf of the patients between dance sessions including, Chancellor Randy Woodson, Vice Chancellor Eileen Goldgeier, Student Body President Andy Walsh. Families of patients affected by the marathon also attended the event to show their support.

Remembering ‘The Feminine Mystique’ F

ifty years ago last week, Betty Friedan published The Feminine Mystique. What started in 1957 as a survey led to further research, then an article which no magazine would publish, and finally, a book — the book, rather, that is now widely credited with sparking the second wave of feminism in the United States. But even 50 years after Friedan’s book came out, Technician recognizes the relevance of what the book stands for, especially in regard to sexualization in college life. In The Feminine Mystique, Friedan examined “the problem that has no name” — the ubiquitous unhappiness of women in the U.S. in the 1950s, conducting interviews and discussing the lives of several housewives. The book also studied and critiqued existing psychology, media and advertising, providing the theoretical basis for second-wave feminism. While first-wave feminism had a political focus — suffrage, property rights, etc. — the new second-wave feminism questioned the day-to-day, expected existence of women. In large measure using the ideas presented in

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. The Feminine Mystique, second-wave feminism broadened its realm of issues to include social and cultural matters — it legitimized women wanting “more than my husband and my children and my home.” Along with challenging societal assumptions about sexuality, the family, the workplace and reproductive rights, second-wave feminism also spoke out against violence and spurred a battle in both the legal and cultural arenas to fight rape at various levels in our society. The problems which permeate our society, however, appear magnified on college campuses, and Friedan’s book remains relevant because of the unhealthy college experience that Hollywood, pop culture and a lack of parental supervision encourage. The second wave of feminism is considered to have ended in the early 1980s, but the feminist movement has not — we live in the era of third-wave feminism — and there is no

good reason for us to leave behind the legacy The Feminine Mystique created. Many of the attitudes toward women it fought against still persvist today, notably in colleges. Women continue to be defined by roles that objectify them or render them “the second sex,” and our universities aren’t always sending the right messages. In 2009, “lady-killer” playboy Tucker Max, who wrote I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, visited N.C. State to promote the film rendition of his book. A month ago, news surfaced that UNC-Chapel Hill deliberately underreported sex assault cases. The problem also stems from our social institutions. We have in fraternity culture “rush boobs.” Fraternity members in universities across the country urge girls to write “Rush (Insert Fraternity Name Here)” across their (invariably large-breasted) chests for promotional purposes. This practice, www.totalfratmove.com reports — with a weekly pick of

50 pictures of rush boobs (and some rush a**es) — has seen a “massive resurgence in the world” in the past couple months. Women and their sexual features do not exist to attract people into fraternities. Promoting such behavior reinforces the notion that women are nothing more than what is apparent on the surface. It hurts the acknowledgement of women being as human as men. These examples are only snapshots of a comprehensive situation in our society in which gender-based inequality is a very real problem. Last semester, the University held a number of events to commemorate the 50-year anniversary of the book Silent Spring by Rachel Carson. For a different struggle, The Feminine Mystique was just as monumental. Even if no events have been planned to remember its legacy, Technician believes that we as a campus community should mark the 50-year anniversary of the publication of The Feminine Mystique by living up to the spirit and values the book embodies. And by all means, spread the message of Friedan, as long as it’s not written across your body.

Self-esteem — from Barbies to beauty magazines

girl’s quest for perfection starts at a young age. Barbie dol ls in hand, young girls gaze at something not humanly possible. If Barbie were a real person, she would be 5’ 9” and weigh 110 pounds, with a B.M.I. of 16.24 — making her Taylor Quinn anorexic. Yet Staff Columnist we in American culture are all force-fed this idea that these plastic dolls are perfection — that Barbie is beautiful with her perfect shade of blonde hair, hourglass figure and a full face of perfectly painted makeup. And as girls grow older, they continue to dig a hole to bury their selfesteem in — by moving from Barbies to beauty magazines.   Phrases like “Tips to be more beautiful,” “Get the perfect weight-loss tips here” and “Hairstyles he will approve of ” adorn the covers of confidence-killing beauty magazines. Teen Vogue, Seventeen, Cosmo Girl and other such packages of delicate paper ironically manage to catastrophically damage young girls’ minds. Though all of these magazines look different and may be centered around slightly different topics, their general message is the same: Change yourself to look like the models pictured herein.

Regardless of our views of beauty, girls being true to themselves is praiseworthy and should be encouraged. But the teen magazine industry breeds extreme self-doubt and makes it hard for girls to feel that they look socially acceptable.   I too am guilty of flipping through these magazines. I admit to getting a twinkle in my eye when I see new fall fashion or the latest hair styles. After finishing the magazines, thoughts “I like her style,” “maybe I should change the way I do my makeup,” “I kind of want to dye my hair,” or the ever-sopopular “wow, I should highly consider hitting the gym tonight,” are all thoughts that float around my brain after I put one of those magazines down. But I recognize the menace of the messages conveyed by such images.   I don’t think that models being thin and close to social perfection is the problem — beauty is arbitrary, and if someone finds beauty in something that I don’t, that is not in itself wrong.   But my first problem with these magazines is the fact that most of the models are altered with Photoshop, creating a false perception of their true selves. However, the caption under the photo still reads “10 tips to look like this.” No. We can’t look like that, because there is no real life Photoshop, unless you

visit a plastic surgeon.   My second problem with the magazines is they only feature one type of people in their photographs — tall, skinny girls, leading us to believe that is the true and only form of beauty.   One may think, “Well, if a girl was raised right and had a foundation of confidence already built, she wouldn’t feel the pain of a lowering self-esteem when reading those magazines.” Not true. I feel like even Aphrodite would feel a bit less beautiful and would maybe consider purchasing some clothes to cover up the fat she hadn’t noticed before after reading some of these magazines. When our society puts unachievable perfection on such a high pedestal, it’s no wonder that girls are getting plastic surgery or using health-depreciating methods to get rid of those five godforsaken calories they consumed.   Beauty is what you make of it, but the beauty that is pictured in the magazines or created in Barbie doll form simply cannot be made.

e ople w ho s t ud y acoustics understand the fact that waves in the atmosphere attenuate and die out. For a wave to persist and live prominent ly, it has to resonate w it h t he env ironment. Waves that Naman resonate Muley Staff Columnist build on top of t h e m selves. They strike a unique balance of parameters. Ideas work pretty much the same way. For an idea to grow into a game changer, it has to do more than just inspire a couple of folks. It has to resonate with people and affect their lives enough to get included in their social structure. There is something about computers that has resonated with humans. The past three decades saw the shift from the mechanical machines to computers. I call this a game changer because computers have infiltrated all facets of civil structure — economy, politics, sports, transport and pretty much every field that humans have endeavored. Computers have affected social life too. Or, in this matter, computers have brought about a new civil structure: The open source community. All computer hardware needs to be programmed in order to function. There are people who excel at just that — the programmers. Companies hire programmers. The programs that their employees write become intellectual property owned by the company. A typical example is the Microsoft Windows operating system. Microsoft owns that program. As a consumer, one pays for the operating system program when buying a computer. Following that is where the information technology revolution got its catalyst. Unlike in other revolutions, some programmers said, we will not privatize the programs we write by marking them as closed intellectual property. So, they wrote programs and disclosed them for others to view and modify as per their wishes. An analogy would be mak-

ing the formula for a drug freely available for everyone rather than owning it and charging others to produce it. A very prominent example is the Linux operating system. Linus Torvalds first wrote the Linux operating system program in 1991 and released it in 1994 for free modif ication. Unli ke Windows, you can download Linux from the Internet for free. The program or the code is also called the source code. Hence, the phrase open source meaning code that is open for access. This method of opening up the program code had a multiplier effect. If all the people in the world work on a program to improve it, the program only gets better compared to a single company’s employees working on a program. The code that Linus Torvalds wrote was improved upon by thousands of others and now unites the most prominent open source community alive. An open source community is not without structure. Just providing access to the code does not guarantee its growth. The open source community is primarily made up of programmers who write code, collaborate and maintain the structure of the code. A perfect analogy would be to imagine a group of sculptors working on a single sculpture. Over the years, this style of coding has spread over the world. Pockets of open source communities have developed in different areas of computer applications. From programs that run on computers in space, to those that work in financial systems — open source programs are used everywhere.

CMF 2013 showcases campus talent Jordan Alsaqa Associate Features Editor

The annual Campus MovieFest at N.C. State wrapped up Saturday with a screening of the top 16 student films at Witherspoon Student Cinema. More than 70 teams entered this year’s competition, and a packed house waited to see what films would take top honors in 2013. The event opened with a parody of last year’s winning short, “The Strong One.” Entitled “The Strong Two: Electric Bugaloo,” the short took the somber, reflective tone of “The Strong One” and turned it into an over-the-top, lowbudget comedy. This year’s competition saw a greater leaning toward the dramatic with more than half of the shorts screened being dramas. These films dealt with a wide variety of topics, including vengeance in “Out of the Game,” the threat of a stalker in “Her,” and the conceptions of a normal life in “An American Life.” The big winner for drama was “Place Like Home.” Directed by Aaron Cook, a senior in film studies, and Will Howell, a junior in electrical engineering. The short dealt with a young couple who buys a new home only to discover it is haunted. “Place Like Home” won several awards, including Best Drama, Best Editing, Best Soundtrack and Best Actress for Morgan

them both. It was a gamble we had to take.” Ultimately, the risk proved worth it, and “UMF Film” won the award for Best Comedy. The night ended with the award for Best Picture, which was supposed to be presented by Nicholas Sailer, Josh Bielick and Tim Reavis, the team responsible for “The Strong One.” However, as soon as the trio took to the stage, a mishap occurred that led to the winning film popping up

on-screen before they could say anything. Though it was the show’s only major mishap, the blunder did manage to ruin the build-up to the night’s biggest award. The winning film was “The Connection,” a short dealing with romance in the digital age. The film followed a young man, played by Conor Smith, who meets a woman, played by Lexie Dillon, on a video chat site. Playing to both comedic and dramatic elements, the short explored how online relationships have evolved in the past decade. “With things like Skype, it’s almost like you’re there, but you’re not,” said Joshua Teder, a sophomore in management and writer/director of “The Connection.” “It’s about seeing what you can actually do in that [kind of relationship].” “The Connection” will go on to the CMF event in Hollywood, where it will compete against films from across the country to try to bring a second win to the University. Another film from this year’s competition, the winner of the Wild Card competition, will also have a chance to screen in Hollywood. The film with the most views at the CMF website by midnight on March 23 will be the winner. As such, students can find all of this year’s entries online and support their favorite.

same. … It was kind of like a no-brainer that I had to get in contact with these people.” The friendship took an interesting turn when Connor learned his cousin had actually formed a bond with two of the members of the Lumineers, Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites, who lived in Ramsey, N.J., before they had formed the band they are today. “It definitely built the bridge a little stronger,” Connor said. After the Lumineers announced they were performing at the Grammy’s, Lumina sent them more clothing they could wear. Facing competition from larger and more well-known designers from around the world, Lumina did not expect to see their clothes on the famed red carpet. “It’s always been very loose ... no contracts, no nothing,” Connor said. “It is always under their will that they put our clothes on.”

Shortly after opening its first store in downtown Raleigh, Lumina Clothing skyrocketed to success with the help of the Lumineers, an American folk rock band that formed a friendship with the Lumina team. Lumina Clothing is a local men’s clothing retailer that focuses on strengthening support for industries that North Carolina has

historically thrived on, such as textiles, agriculture and manufacturing. Each piece of clothing is made in the United States. Much like the inspiration and passion fueling the production of Lumina’s apparel, the Lumineers and the men of Lumina Clothing connected over the American roots supporting their businesses. “We’re in a place where we’d like to give back to people who inspire us,” Paul Connor, Lumina Clothing’s

retail and marketing director, said. “We thought this would be a great group to get behind and support with some free clothes.” The friendship started through a kind gesture from the store, a box of their clothing sent to the Lumineers. “The font that they use for their logo is Georgia font, and the font that we used for our logo was Georgia font,” Connor said. “So not only was the name similar but our font kind of looked the

Stelth Ulvang, piano, and Ben Wahamaki, bass, both wore Lumina’s clothing during the pre-Grammy performance, on the red carpet and during the actual Grammy performance. Wahamaki also wore Lumina’s “blue and rust” plaid shirt during a performance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show and Ulvang wore a Lumina “rust chambray” shirt on Saturday Night Live. The clothing received much attention from fans after being broadcast on national television. “We saw a massive influx in hits on our social media network,” Connor said. Connor says the experience of growing in Raleigh has been great and he and the rest of the team are “handinspecting every item that goes out ... everything comes through [the owners’] hands and it is a very intimate experience.” Since Lumina is currently the most attainably priced American-made men’s cloth-

ing store in the country, the Raleigh-based retailer quickly caught the attention of the federal government. Two days after the Lumineers wore pieces from Lumina during the Grammy’s, Lumina received a call asking them to design uniforms for the security on Capitol Hill. “I’m proud that the government is looking to make their uniforms in the U.S.,” Connor said. Future plans for Lumina include having their items manufactured in Raleigh, as well as the introduction of American-made quality men’s blue jeans. “Buy things that have meaning and buy things that have quality and maintain them so they last,” Connor said. As Lumina continues to grow, Connor said they are definitely thankful for being given opportunities from others to spread the word about American-made clothing.

Distinguished Professor nominated to NAE Joseph Cabaniss Staff Writer

Carl C. Koch, a Kobe Steel Distinguished Professor of material science and engineering, has been nominated as a new member of the National Academy of Engineering — something most engineers can only dream of. The National Academy of Engineering is a government-run resource of the best engineers from around the world for the purpose of both furthering the cause of engineering, as well as putting it to work in service to the government. When engineering leadership or counsel is needed, the academy provides it. While Koch had not received warning for his nomination, the NAE hadn’t been far from his mind. “It’s certainly every engineer’s goal,” Koch said. “It’s the most prestigious honor you can get.” The NAE currently has 2,250 living members. The current members of the NAE elect new members like Koch based on performance. Because of this, engineers cannot apply to join, but must stand out and be noticed to gain membership. According to Koch, the NAE noticed him because he has been a big part of the research community in North Carolina and is a member of

five societies. Some societies, like the Materials, Metals and Minerals Society, have strict limits on the number of members and are as small as 100 living members. Koch also stood out in the field of research. Koch explained many professors judge the success of their published paper by the number of citations it’s received, that is, times their work has been an important part of founding a new paper. “My one paper that I’ve

gotten the most citations on mechanically alloying of elis one I did just before I left emental powders.

instrumental in his nomination for membership. As a NAE member, Koch will take part in the tasks the NAE typically executes, and by next year, will assist in the naming of new members. As far as typical tasks, the NAE requires members to sit on certain committees or study in a particular area, varying with what is important to the country at that time. In addition to providing services to the government, the NAE also offers awards in

two forms. The first are five prestigious awards for “lifetime dedication to [the] field and [the] commitment to advancing the human condition through great engineering achievement.” In addition to these monetary awards, the NAE also presents the “Grand Challenges for Engineering,” 14 goals for engineers to complete within the next century which would drastically improve health and life quality. These challenges are lofty goals, like “make solar energy economical” and “reverseengineer the brain.” Members of the NAE may or may not do research with the Grand Challenges in mind, but are directed into research by request through the government. The Department of Material Science and Engineering held a small celebration for Koch, during which he extended his thanks to a number of people, much of which went to his family, his coworkers and Justin Schwartz, the department head and fellow Kobe Steel Distinguished Professor of Material Science and Engineering.

That instinct brought me to making documentaries.” Greene’s instincts have helped lead him to a number of different projects. Omar Broadway Film, Making The Boys and Hey Bartender are just some of the films Greene is currently a part of. “The idea that my projects and movies can be seen by students and people in North Carolina is huge,” Greene said. “Doing what you want and love to do and having that get back to where you call home, is a good feeling to have.” Fake It So Real has received attention from critics such as Richard Brody and Roger Ebert. Making The New Yorker’s list of top 15 movies and being one of Ebert’s 12 favorite documentaries from 2012 are just some of the praise Greene’s film has garnered.

Greene said. “You really learn to love these guys and grow to see them as artists struggling to do what they love. That idea is something everyone can root for. You might not be a huge fan of wrestling but you can watch the film and still walk away with something.”

“All that recognition really means is that we can keep making movies,” Greene said. “That stuff is incredible … it’s such a small personal film but the prospect of what we can continue to make is what it all comes down to.” Greene said the title is provocative in many ways. “The title is a lyric from a song by the band Hole,” Greene said. “The word fake really does make people think about wresting in a certain way. In the movie, the wrestlers defend wrestling and very much cut down the idea that it’s fake … they say it’s staged.” According to Greene the wrestlers argued with him that there’s nothing fake about real doctor bills. “Chris Solar says something that stands out in the film,” Greene said. “He says something like, ‘I don’t think it’s fake, I think it’s staged. No one goes to a play and says it’s fake.’” Greene explained that the wrestlers dealt with their distaste for the title in perfect wrestling fashion — they ribbed him. “They took me in the back making it seem like they were going to kick my butt,” Greene said. “They were just ribbing me the whole time.

Baseball sweeps weekend series Jonathan Stout & Ty Prentice Senior Staff Writer & Staff Writer

After dropping its season opener against Appalachian State, Wolfpack baseball took its anger out on weekend opponents La Salle and Wagner. The Pack swept the threegame weekend series and scored a combined 48 runs in the process. State held its opponents to only four runs. Senior outfielder Brett Williams, junior infielder Sam Morgan and sophomore shortstop Trea Turner combined for 21 hits, six home runs and 22 RBIs. “It was a great performance for us,” Williams said. “Offensively we were struggling a little bit to start the season. It’s just a huge confidence builder for us.” State combines for nohitter Sophomore Carlos Rodon (1-1) and freshman Karl Keglovits combined for a no-hitter against La Salle in a decisive 5-0 victory. The team unveiled its new black uniforms. Rodon went seven innings and recorded a career-high 14 strikeouts. He walked only one batter. The score remained deadlocked until State’s bats came alive in the sixth inning, when the team scored all of its five runs.

Sophomore shortstop Trea Turner catches a ground ball against Villanova Thursday, Feb. 21, 2013. Turner went 2-for-3 with 1 earned run in the Wolfpack’s 14-3 win against the Wildcats at Doak Field at Dail Park.

Senior outfielder Terran Senay ripped a two-run homer to put the team up 2-0. Three other base runners would end up coming across home plate. “It was a lot better,” head coach Elliott Avent said. “A lot better idea of what we’re looking for, what we’re going to do.” Sophomore catcher Brett Austin hit the second triple of his career. Offensive outburst powers Pack The Wolfpack scored in every inning, except the second as it routed the Wagner,

18-0, in the first of two games against the Seahawks over the weekend. Williams exploded for two home runs, two doubles and five RBI. Morgan went threefor-five and finished with a home run and four RBI. Senior catcher Grant Clyde tacked on four RBI after hitting a grand slam in his only a bat of the game. Sophomore pitcher Logan Jernigan (1-1) claimed the victory for the Pack going five innings, striking out four batters. The team hit for a combined 15 hits and suffered two errors.

Onslaught leads State past Seahawks The Pack combined for a 25-run outburst in the second half of its double header against Wagner. The Seahawks jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead in the first inning, but that would be all the scoring Wagner would muster up against the Pack. State scored 25 unanswered runs as the team defeated the Seahawks, 25-4. Williams and Turner combined for 11 RBI and two home runs.

Once again, the team scored in seven of eight innings for the second straight game. “Scoring seven out of eight innings in two double headers,” Avent said. “We got down four to nothing but it didn’t seem to bother anybody” The Pack lit up the scoreboard in the fourth, scoring seven runs, and the eighth, scoring 13 runs. Starting pitcher, senior Josh Easley, went four innings, gave up four runs on two hits and struck out four batters. Sophomore pitcher Travis Orwig (1-0) was credited with the win. “It’s a positive seeing us having better at bats and producing runs even when there’s nothing there, we’re finding ways to score,” Turner said.

players have got to step up and play, period,” Gottfried said. “I love him as much as anybody, but when you’re a good player then you’ve got to play better.” Gottfried was also disappointed with Leslie’s rebounding effort. “Richard [Howell] gets 17 rebounds today,” Gottfried said. “Are we expecting Richard to get 30 rebounds? Holy mackerel, somebody else has got to rebound the ball. Calvin has to step up, period.” The Wolfpack shot a horrid 46.2 percent from the free throw line, making only six of 13 attempts. Despite its free throw troubles and propensity for turnovers, the Wolfpack led the Heels with eight minutes left in the game. Howell’s tough rebounding and Wood’s sharpshooting kept the Wolfpack alive at times when nothing else was going right for State. The Wolfpack may have had a bad day against the Heels, but the effort level throughout the contest was what pleased Gottfried the most. “We’ve just got to keep working and playing hard,” Gottfried said. “I like how our team is playing. I like the fact that we’re competing. We’re playing better.”

Revenge was a bitter pill for the Wolfpack to swallow Saturday. After losing to N.C. State Jan. 26 at PNC Arena, North Carolina made a change in its starting lineup from its previous matchup with the Pack. The switch paid off. UNC guard P.J. Hairston, who came off the bench in the previous game of the rivalry series, started the game and scored 12 points, helping the Heels fight off the Wolfpack, 76-62, in Chapel Hill. “I thought it was a heck of a college basketball game,” head coach Mark Gottfried said. “I thought my team competed really hard, and I thought theirs did too … I thought they all just competed unbelievably hard.” Senior forward Scott Wood led the Wolfpack (19-8, 8-6 ACC) with 19 points, 15 of which came on three-pointers. Wood was one of three State players to play more than 38 minutes in the game. The other two were senior forward Richard Howell and junior guard Lorenzo Brown, both of whom posted double-doubles. Howell grabbed 17 rebounds, 13 of which came in the first half. Howell now has 16 double-doubles in the season, the most in a season since Kenny Carr had 15 in the 1976-77 season. Brown scored 12 points and added 12 assists and five boards. However, four of Brown’s points came in the last minute of the game, when UNC coach Roy

Senior forward Richard Howell races back down the court after a turnover by N.C. State during the first half of the game against North Carolina Saturday. Howell had 13 points and 17 rebounds in the Wolfpack’s 76-65 loss to the Tar Heels at the Dean Smith Center in Chapel Hill.

Williams had taken out his starters to give his walk-ons a chance to play. Brown was also uncharacteristically loose with the basketball, ending the game with four turnovers. According to Gottfried, Brown still isn’t fully healthy from the ankle injury he incurred at Virginia Jan. 29. “I don’t think he’s 100 percent,” Gottfried said. “At this point in the year, there’s a lot of guys around the country that are banged up a little bit … We’ve tried to rest him in practice. We’ll continue to do that some and pick our spots there, but he’ll get healthy. He’ll get to be 100 percent here pretty soon.”

Carolina (19-8, 9-5 ACC) started four guards to surround sophomore forward James McAdoo. With State starting three forwards in Warren, Howell and Leslie, the Wolfpack had a height advantage against the Tar Heels.
