In light of recent events on campus, N.C. State employees and students are encouraged to uphold their responsibilities if they are aware of a crime on campus. University employees are required to report any information about sexual assaults through Clery Act reporting. The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, better known as the Clery Act, is a federal statute enacted in 1990 that requires universities to disclose certain safety information and crime statistics. It is named after Jeanne Clery, a 19-yearold college student who was raped and murdered by a fellow student at Lehigh University in 1986. The Clery Act requires the university to publish an annual security report containing crime statistics for the previous three years as well as a public crime log, which details the past two months’ worth of reported crime information. In mid-April 2011, the Act was updated by the federal Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act, endorsed by Security on Campus, Inc., a national non-profit organization. According to a SOC press release, the Campus SaVE Act updates the Clery Act by providing “a better framework for the sexual assault education and victims’ rights currently offered by colleges and universities, and expanding them to also cover domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking.” The update to the Clery Act’s provisions reflects the lessons learned about what works to prevent cam-

re you graduating soon? Are you still unemployed and want to avoid the college cliche of moving in to your parents’ basement? As part of its “Senior Week” activities, the Senior Class Council, under the leadership of political science major Kristy Craig, invited etiquette and protocol consultant Lu Ann Ely-Rudolph to discuss proper etiquette in the professional realm. The Technician also spoke with University Career Center Director, Carol Schroeder. Check out their list of do’s and don’t’s for navigating the professional scene.
Don’t use email as a substitute for interactions. Email is great to use for scheduling things, but it should never be used as a substitute for face to face interactions. When you are sending emails, you should always reply to the email and not start a new thread. As well, make sure you sign your emails with your name, not just your initials. Rudolph said you should generally give someone 24 hours to respond to emails. however, if you need a quicker response, you should always call. “Never send me an email that says you’re still waiting for my response. The phone works,” Rudolph said.

Do Phones and People Do give your full attention to the person you are talking to, not to your phone. Rudolph suggested an easy way to make sure you aren’t distracted by your phone while in a meeting or interview is to leave your phone in the car. However, if you are expecting an important call, Rudolph said to make sure you warn the person you are speaking with that you are expecting it. Rudolph said, “If you answer your phone while talking to me, I’ll turn and walk away because you didn’t excuse yourself. Your time is not more important than mine.”
The proper way to shake someone’s hand is with your right hand so the base of your thumbs meet, followed by a few pumps originating from your elbow, not your shoulder. The only instance where shaking hands is not allowed, is when you are ill. However, it is necessary to explain why you are refusing the handshake. “Having strong body language, a firm handshake and a confident smile goes a long way in these situations,” Schroeder said.
LOW
someone, the looser your lips are,” Rudolph said. Therefore, you should always sit in a chair with a straight back. Women should keep their legs crossed at the ankles. Men should sit with both feet firmly on the ground. Showing the soles of your feet is considered the dirtiest part of the body in some cultures.
In a job interview or professional function, Schroeder said students need to focus on creating engaging conversations that delve into both parties’ interests. You need to make sure you talk about things other than you. “I don’t like the word ‘networking,’ but making connections to develop one on one connections. One of the classic mistakes students make is they think it’s all about them. They feel like they have to sell themselves, when they really need to figure out how to engage the person they are meeting and learn a bit about the other person to create and continue memorable conversations,” Schroeder said.

According to Rudolph, women should never sit with their knees crossed, because it is unprofessional. “Showing your bare legs is an act of seduction. Your bare leg is put forward and your skirt is hiked up,” Rudolph said. As well, when you are standing, don’t lean against the wall, as it takes away 99 percent of your perceived power. “The more causal you are with

“It’s often hard to know if an animal has ingested this sort of poison because it takes several hours for the effects to become apparent,” said Marks. Marks also said symptoms include vomiting, apaxio, and a drunken gate. Propylene glycol is considered to be less fatal, according to Marks. However, both active ingredients have a “sweet flavor,” to which canines are attracted by both smell and taste. Tuffy’s pack was poisoned with the more deadly antifreeze agent, evidenced by their “acting drunk.” Animals also appear intoxicated following the ingestion of ethylene

Campus aims for record breaking Zumba class On Friday over 1,000 will gather on Lee field to attempt to break a Guinness World Record. Anja Davis Staff Writer
On Friday, April 29, N.C. State Office of Health Promotion, in conjunction with UAB, Campus Recreation and the P.E. department will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the world’s largest Zumba class. Marianne Turnbull, the director of Health Promotions, said that this year the Office of Health Promotion’s theme has been “your health sustains you.” It involved a six part series that highlighted the Wellness Model, with the final segment concentrating on physical well-being. “Our office feels that successful students can measure their growth as a person in developing a well-rounded and balanced lifestyle at N.C. State,” said James Byars, a graduate student in higher education administration. “We wanted to explore new techniques and bring an innovative spin to the programming aspect of Health Promotions,”

This includes increased transparency by adding domestic violence, dating violence and stalking to crime statistics report required by the University, and increased promotion of prevention programs and bystander prevention.

Moore said, “Zumba has been growing in popularity and there were great resources within our own campus rec center to utilize.” “We thought we had an original idea, but apparently other schools have attempted [the record] or getting ready to,” said Byars. “There is a lot of strong competition in the next few weeks from schools like Baylor University,” said Byars, “we want N.C. State to have the record. To be safe we need at least 1,200 participants.” Because their Facebook event has 989 confirmations, the Office of Health Promotion is expecting at least 1,000 participants as of Tuesday. “I think the largest [Zumba class] we’ve seen is 250 people, but they have to go through the certification process so we don’t know exactly. The Guinness Book people have strict rules,” said Turnbull. The rules include one witness for every fifty participants, paperwork filled out by the witnesses, witnesses for the witnesses, a witness of the Zumba class, a super witness with a notary and certified Zumba instructors said Turnbull.

Ryan Mayo and Garian Baker, juniors in architecture, work on completing a final design project for a Design Build Studio. “The hardest challenge was working around the weather, this is also our first full-scale model which was tough,” Mayo said.
The importance of the Act is also underscored by recent events on campus, such as an attempted sexual assault on a female student in March as well as the arrest of a WKNC disc jockey and computer science teaching assistant, who was charged with a felony sexual offense April 19. Barnwell said that both of these incidents might not appear in the annual security report until 2012. “One problem with the Department of Education doesn’t require disclosure of crimes until the following year, so crimes that occur in 2011 will appear in the report for 2012,” said Barnwell.
This time period allows everyone to compile and analyze the statistics, according to Barnwell. However, the statistics are uploaded to the campus website in order for NCSU students and employees to be informed as quickly as possible.

Talley must stay on track THE FACTS:
The Talley Student Center’s renovations should be completed in late 2014, and will take approximately $120 million to complete. Student facilities fees will be raised and capped no more than $290 a year starting in 2014.
OUR OPINION: If the University Student Center’s Board of Directors sticks to their budget and timeline, the current plan for Talley Student Center is feasible and achievable. With our money in their hands, sticking to their plan is of the upmost importance.
{

eginning this summer, Talley Student Center will undergo a major renovation. The Talley project is projected to take a little over three years to complete, and the construction should end late in 2014. Revenue to fund these projects comes partially from student fees. Students began paying Talley facilities fees in last Fall, with an amount of less than $90 per year, which included the construction and use of the Atrium. When the new Student Center opens in 2014, students face a facilities fee capped at $290 per year. With large construction projects, is it easy to go off track. Architects sometimes revise their plans due to unforeseen circumstances or changing interests. The problem with

straying from the plan is that the budget is consequentially affected—most often negatively. It is the responsibility of the Student Center’s Board of Directors to create a budget and stick to it, so that students’ money does not go to waste. For example, the Atrium renovations were and still are a portion of the Talley Project, and are currently on track and on budget. If the Student Center’s renovation follows the same path as the Atrium’s, the project’s result would be quite successful. However, there are always concerns in large construction projects, particularly with gaining back some of the revenue lost from the con-
struction. Any business endeavor must be profitable to succeed. Centennial Campus’ extensive construction project faced only one obstacle—revenue created from its development. There are plans to use Centennial Campus as a conference center, and to use the buildings to create jobs and support causes that government agencies do not. There is also a plan for a golf course facility for recreation and education, which would generate revenue from the public as well as from students. As the Talley Student Center’s construction hasn’t yet begun, the Board of Directors would
benefit from brainstorming ways that the center could gain back revenue lost for its construction, other than a perpetual hike to student fees. These plans should be conceptualized as closely to the start of construction as possible. Many students initially exhibited some animosity toward the budget issues and the Talley construction project. If the Board of Directors does exceed the budget, these feelings of bitterness will only grow. With most N.C. State students away for the summer, we have left our money and our hopes for Talley in the hands of the Board of Directors and the building company. This project needs to go according to plan. Stick to the budget and everyone will benefit.

I disagree with Captain Barnwell’s recommendations in Monday’s article of how to prevent sexual assault, because it puts prevention in the hands of the potential survivors instead of putting fault where it should be, which is with the potential perpetrators. 90 percent of rapes and attempted rapes of women on college campuses are committed by someone the survivor knows. So please tell me, how do you avoid putting yourself “in a situation where you could be victimized?” I guess everyone should just stop being social and having friends. Of course I’m being sarcastic with this suggestion,

but I’m trying to illustrate the absurdity of the given advice. The only way to stop sexual assault is to create a culture in which perpetrators know that their behavior will not be tolerated. One way to do this is by being an active bystander; when you see something happening that could lead to a sexual assault, speak up. We must commit to a culture of non-violence where sexism, abuse and rape are not tolerated and survivors are fully supported. In a society in which survivors are blamed and stigmatized, telling anyone is a very difficult thing to do. I thank the survivor of this attack for his bravery in coming forward.

ear Boy Crazy, If you had asked me this question about a year ago, I would have said something like, “where’s the bad? ” I also went through a boy crazy phase that probably lasted longe r t h a n Staci it shou ld Thornton have. I Advice like to asColumnist su me a l l girls do—so I don’t seem so crazy. But honestly, I don’t think this is the worst problem to have. You are putting yourself out there and you are having fun.

“If you meet someone that you actually really like and think you can date long term, you definitely don’t have to “play it cool.” every guy you meet to decide if you want to date him or not. You get to a certain age where you don’t necessarily need guy friends, so why not see if you can date them? But there comes a time when the drama isn’t as fun anymore. The problem comes when you are looking for more than fun. This is not the way to get a serious boyfriend or husband. If you are ready for a real commitment, I think this is like any “addiction.” You just have to quit. You can still evaluate guys to see if you want to date them, but you need to realize that you don’t always have to be the one to pursue them. Guys are easy: if you show some interest, they are most
likely going to reciprocate without actually thinking about whether they want to date you. This leaves you with a lot of shallow relationships that don’t go anywhere. If you meet someone that you actually really like and think you can date long term, you definitely don’t have to “play it cool” and just let him come to you; relationships don’t work like that anymore. But I would advise against being too forward. This makes guys think you are only interested in some fun.

A tale of two indies STORY BY RICH LEPORE | PHOTOS BY LUIS ZAPATA
Programmer Mike Resnick sits in his home office which doubles as the headquarters for Hazardous Software, makers of the time-travel real-time strategy game Achron.
Time-travel, ‘Achron’ style Chris Hazard has been working on his game, Achron, for a very long time. Well, that’s not exactly true.

both worked at Motorola as software engineers. “We would get together and work on the game, quietly, from that point on,” Resnick said, “But it wasn’t time technology-wise.” Today, the two split up production duties and work full time on the project. Hazard handles what Resnick calls “low-level code,” or the underpinnings on which the entire game is built. “Chris coded the Resequence Engine,” Resnick said. “which could technically be used to make whatever type of game you want. We decided to make Achron.” Resnick, on the other hand, handles “high-level code,” which he describes as “logic for units, integration of art assets, logic for scenarios, etc.” Although Hazard and Resnick are the only full-time members of the team, they have brought in some outside help to work on things such as art direction and user interface. But because they are working with little to no budget, Hazard and Resnick had to figure out a way to pay for outside talent. “Many of the people working on the project have chosen profit sharing as payment,” Hazard said, “Or a combination of some money and some profit share.” Profit sharing means that these employees will receive a portion of the proceeds of the game after it is released. “They really believe in our game,” Hazard said, “And are betting on it being successful.” And there’s good reason to be optimistic. Hazardous presented Achron to an audience of 900 as part of the gameplay workshop sessions at 2009’s Game Developer’s Conference, and the reviews were unanimously positive. Popular gaming website BoingBoing called Hazardous Software the “Indie darlings of GDC,” and gaming visionary Warren Spector, best known for his work on Deus Ex, wrote about the developer on his blog. “Incredible,” Spector said. “I’ve been wanting to do another time travel game since I worked on Martian Dreams but didn’t know how to pull it off. These guys seem to have done it.”

Folk group debuts sophomore album
PICK
OF THE WEEK Michael Jones WKNC DJ
Following the immense success of 2008’s debut self-titled album, Fleet Foxes took three years of touring, recording and ref lecting before their
sophomore release, Helplessness Blues. The delay, although difficult for early fans, may have done just what it needed to calm some of the hype for their second full-length. It also allowed time for Fleet Foxes to grow, experiment and hone their skills as proper folk artists. Fleet Foxes, while holding onto their abilities to create folk tracks with large amounts
of grandeur, allowed themselves to experiment, reflect and refresh what could have been an attempt to repeat the sounds present on their debut. Quite simply, Fleet Foxes did everything that was necessary for a proper sophomore album. Getting an early insight into the majestic, nostalgic

mind of lead singer Robin Pecknold, the album starts with an intimate beginnings as he reflects, “Oh man what I used to be!” As the harmonies of the band echo in the background, Pecknold carries along with hopeful yet observant sentiments on what c ou l d h a p p e n and what already has happened, a proper opening for an excellent second album. Helplessness Blues keeps the aud ie nc e c ap tivated as they experiment with new techniques for song writing. On two different occasions the band combines two songs, which create some of the most peculiar moments on the album. In “The Plains/Bitter Dancer,” Fleet Foxes
start with a light, yet long instrumental opening that merges into a track that is less traditional Fleet Foxes, and instead calls back to the older folk generations that influenced their music. Some of the most stripped down moments throughout the album allow for some of the most powerful moments. In the title track, Fleet Foxes hone this surging folk sound dominated by multiple acoustic guitars, the range of Pecknold and the ability to progress tracks from within to climax. Pecknold and compa ny have the capability to bring in beautiful lullabies to calm down and change it up. In “Blue Spotted Tail” they utilize only the smooth harmonies of Pecknold’s voice and a guitar, which proves to be both soothing

and dreamy. However, Fleet Foxes is able to deliver one of their greatest tracks with the conclusion of Helplessness Blues. “Grown Ocean,” a soaring dream of Pecknold’s creation, carries alongside an optimistic, grand collaboration of all elements, old and new. Hearkening to some of the vast musical mixtures of their first album, Fleet Foxes is also able to create layers with incredible precision. As flutes penetrate the epic collision of instruments that guide us along the dreamy atmosphere of Pecknold’s lyrics, Fleet Foxes conclude their excellent album with one of the greatest folk tracks of the past decade. Through a combination of experimenting with new musical elements, utilizing their previous combinations of folk music and writing meaningful lyrics, Fleet Foxes delivers one of the best albums of the year.

Imhoff has embraced his position on the scout team, and has taken on the roll as both a leader for younger players and somewhat of an offensive assistant coach. He signals plays to the quarterback and observes coverages and defensive schemes to provide insight to the quarterback in the game.

“By letting my defense work behind while I managed the pop flies and ground balls, I think that contributed to my success.” Fellow State pitcher Morgan Peeler, a junior, said she noticed Hennig’s statistics at her previous college and was not surprised by the numbers. “She did really well at her former college,” Peeler said. “She has shown a lot of poise on the mound, along with heaps of confidence and determination.” A key aspect to Hennig’s potential success at State is her transition from both hitting and pitching at Navarro to focusing primarily on pitching while playing for the Pack. Hennig says that even though she really did not
come to bat a lot at her previous college, it was good for her because it allowed her focus more on the core of her talent – pitching. “I really didn’t get to hit a whole lot at Navarro, so it’s not that big of a difference when all I do is pitch at State anyways,” Hennig said. “It has actually
allowed me to focus on my pitching a lot more, which of course is good.” With Henning being a transfer, it can be said that she will not play as much as the other two pitchers, Morgan Peeler and Kayla Cox. Though she has not gotten the opportunity to pitch as

much as the other two, Peeler believes that Hennig while be a valuable asset to the Pack next season. “I feel like she has a great opportunity to play more next year,” said Peeler. “She has a very different pitching style compared to Kayla [Cox] and I, and shows great potential for our team next year.” Senior catcher Alyssa Allbritten commented on Hennig’s overall impact on the team, stressing the fact that even though she may not play a lot, she brings fun to the team with her simplicity and goofiness. “You will always need a third pitcher, which helps out Kayla [Cox] and Morgan [Peeler] when they need time to rest,” said Allbritten. “She also brightens the team’s mood, from simple things such as laughing at stupid jokes. She is just a goofy girl in general.”

QUOTE OF THE DAY “I have tried to stay positive in a four-year span where there weren’t many positives and I hope at least at one point over my two plus years at the paper, you enjoyed something that I produced..” Taylor Barbour, sports editor
Fans crowded Sammy’s Tap & Grill back in 2009 and 2010 for two highlytouted recruits who would undoubtedly make a huge impact on Tobacco Road for years to come for the Wolfpack. Just one day after the announcement that freshman forward C.J. Leslie would be staying put in Raleigh, fellow freshman guard Ryan Harrow declared that he would be transferring from the University. In a statement released by the University, new head coach Mark Gottfried and Harrow reached a mutual decision that would allow the freshman to transfer to another program. Gottfried said that he will back Harrow in any decision that he makes, unless it leads him to a conference foe, of course. “We wish him well and will do anything we can to assist him in this process,” Gottfried said. There have been no official announcements as to where he plans to transfer to, but Harrow said he feels that the year off will be the
best thing for him right now. “The year off will help me improve in many ways and I think the decision is the best for me personally,” Harrow said. Harrow played well for the Wolfpack at the beginning of the season, eventually earning a starting role with the team. Then he was stricken with an illness that kept him out of a few games before returning to compete just before the ACC Tournament. All in all, Harrow started in 10 of the 29 games that he played in, finishing fourth on the team in points per game with 9.3 and second on the team in assists with 3.3 per game. While it was highly speculated at the time of Sidney Lowe’s departure that Harrow would potentially transfer, many believed that he would be staying put after hearing that Leslie would remain with the team. Harrow had a close relationship with Lowe from the moment that he signed with the school. Though Harrow has decided to leave the school for unknown reasons, he did have some pleasant parting words for Gottfried and his newly hired administration. “I think the staff will do good things here at N.C. State,” Harrow said. Harrow’s departure leaves the Pack with one less starter from the season prior, but Leslie and freshman guard

he thought his football career was over, but when the opportunity to play again presented itself, he jumped at the opportunity with a ‘why not?’ attitude. “I didn’t think I’d ever have a chance to play football again,” Imhoff said. “I really missed competing. But honestly, I kept telling myself, ‘the worst thing they can tell me is no.’ So I just kept working hard at what I do, trying to get better at what coaches ask me to do, you finish every set in the weight room, finish every sprint at practice, you have to just try to be the best player you can be, not taking any shortcuts, that’s the
When transferring to a new school, it can definitely be a scary experience. In the case of junior pitcher Jade Hennig, it was an experience that needed to be explored. While on the quest to find a university to play at, Hennig said she chose N.C. State because she thought our softball program was the most qualified. “I had several different universities looking at me, so it was a hard decision to make,” said Hennig. “Ultimately, I wanted to choose a school that I would go the farthest with; with my goal being to make it to a National Championship. Overall, I felt like State was the best option for me.” While under the supervision of Navarro College’s coach Jessica Karenke, Hennig boasted an impressive 16-0 record, along with an 0.89 ERA, finishing 12th in the nation. Hennig admits that her success at Navarro can be attributed to several different factors, including her dominant pitching and rugged defense. “I was mainly a strikeout pitcher, so I focused on pitching a lot,” Hennig said.
have always hated leads. I truly have. I can never for the life of me find a way to adequately start a story whether it be a recap, feature or column. They always turn out to be some type of cheesy play on words, as I am sure Tyler Dukes knows. But seeing that this is my farewell column Taylor and I can say Barbour what I please, Sports Editor without further ado… “I tend to think of myself as a loner. A kind of one man Wolfpack...” Okay, just kidding, but now that we have the ball rolling; my four years at N.C. State have been a wonderful experience for me. I couldn’t have asked for a better four years. It has been a whirlwind of a four years, but here are a few memories that stand out, even if they may be slightly blurry. I had the opportunity be slammed by the posters on PackPride, I shotgunned who knows how many beers well before midnight out on the fairgrounds outside of CarterFinley Stadium, drank my fill of $1.50 well drinks at Rum Runners, went on a Mardi Gras trip that was out of control and I got to see the men’s basketball team make it to the NCAA Tournament, even if it was only one year. Wait, that didn’t happen? Oh don’t worry, it will. What Debbie Yow is doing with N.C. State Athletics as a whole is remarkable. She has finally done what has needed to be done for 10 years now and stopped accepting mediocrity. Finishing in the middle of the ACC year after year is no longer acceptable and will not be tolerated. I am proud to be a member of the 2011 graduating class. We have a special bond, athletically speaking, being that we have attended State during what could be seen as one of its worst four consecutive years of athletics in its history. Had it not been for what football coach Tom O’Brien, Russell Wilson and Nate Irving did this season, winning the Champ Sports Bowl, while being in the running for a chance to play in the ACC Championship Game, the whole four years would have been a failure. But hey, win or lose we have a good time and that’s what makes State fans such a rare breed. We constantly stick by our team with unwavering faith, even though the results have been less than impressive, thus far anyway. But for you returning students, I am truly jealous. Yesterday my compadre Sean Klemm stole a lot of my thunder as he wrote almost the identical column as to what I wanted to say, but I believe it needs to be said again. I truly believe the best is yet to come for N.C. State Athletics, and I am jealous of you freshmen, sophomores and juniors that will be returning for next season. O’Brien has already laid the groundwork for a solid football tradition that

The path less traveled
After a recent spring practice, prior to the annual Kay Yow Spring Game, a conglomerate of sports reporters anxiously waited for interviews with players like starting quarterback Mike Glennon, two-time AllACC tight end George Bryan, and last year’s starting running back Dean Haynes and veteran offensive lineman Camden Wentz. However, I took the opportunity to talk to a player who is seldom in the media spotlight – redshirt senior quarterback Daniel Imhoff. The charismatic Sanford native, grinning from ear to ear, was quick to ask me how my classes were going, what my summer plans were and whether I would be attending the spring game. “Dan the Man,” as he is affectionately called by his teammates, joined the Wolfpack as a walk-on in the spring of 2009. Imhoff was rewarded this year, being named 2010’s Offensive Scout Team Player of the Year and earning a scholarship in his final season at State. “It’s been the road less traveled, I guess,” Imhoff said. “Not a lot of guys start off as a walk-on then earn a scholarship. It’s been a tremendous honor and I’m proud to have the opportunity.” After playing intramural

flag football and club lacrosse for the entirety of his freshman year, and the fall semester of his sophomore year, Imhoff, with the persuasion from friend and fellow Scout Team Player of the Year redshirt senior Zach Powell, decided to try out for the team. “I knew we needed quarterbacks, because all we had was Russell [Wilson] and [Mike] Glennon at the time,” Powell said. “That was right after Harrison Beck and Daniel Evans graduated. I told Dan to come try out and that I thought we might be able to use him. He did and he made it. It was kind of cool.” Imhoff was a first team all conference quarterback and MVP of the tennis team for Lee County High School. After high school, Imhoff admitted
