TALLEY MEETING TO FOCUS ON CONSTRUCTION
Although student body election polls were reopened last week to incorporate excluded voters, few took this opportunity. Brooke Wallig News Editor
After a mistake in the request for the voter list for this year’s Student Government elections, the polls were reopened last Thursday for all students left out of the original election day. According to Stephen Williamson, senior in computer science and Student Government webmaster, out of the 2,192 students eligible to vote on the make-up election day, seven exercised their right to vote. According to Lindsey Pullum, senior in political science and chair of the Elections Commission, “The polls were open for almost 2200 students, and only seven of them—less than one percent— utilized this opportunity,” Pullum said. “We got a lot of criticism for our mistake, but [reopening the polls for part-time students] was the fair thing to do.” Pullum said although a very small number of part-time students voted, it is the responsibility of the commission to ensure that every student voice is heard. “These students have a right to express their votes,” Pullum said. “We will never take that right away.” Despite the very low voter turnout, Williamson said every single one of those seven votes will be counted and added to the votes from the first election day. “We will combine the seven votes with the other votes and run the tabulations,” Williamson said. “This is the obviously fair thing to do. I don’t see anything changing, but we have to run them to be sure.”

More than 50 teams of students set up booths and tents around the impromptu walking track built by Lee Field Friday night to show their support for the Relay For Life, an event designed to raise money for cancer research. Fraternities, sororities, campus clubs, student government, and others had booths and representatives at the event. These booths were meant to raise money above and beyond what had already been raised before the event, all of which is donated to the American Cancer Society.
While, due to inclement weather, the event was canceled before midnight, event coordinators and teams raised more than $54,000 from online fundraising and sponsorships before the event began, according to Madison Dixon, senior in psychology and Relay For Life co-chair. The N.C. State Relay event raised more money prior to event than any other college Relay, according to Dixon. “The goal is $56,000, and we’re already almost there,” Dixon said, prior to the beginning of the Relay. Alyssa Johnson, a senior in elementary education, built and operated a booth along with Alpha Psi Omega, a theater fraternity. The group sold lottery tickets and lollipops, as well offered face painting, magic shows, and palm-readings throughout the night. Johnson, who said she took part in
the event for multiple years, said she participates because Relay’s mission is one that hits home. “My mom is coming tonight. She is a cancer survivor; this is a cause close to my heart,” Johnson said. Matt Brokaw, a junior in construction engineering management and president of the skateboarding club, said people from outside the club who had been affected by cancer approached him and asked him and his club to participate in the Relay. Prior to the event, the club raised $700, and built a half-pipe skate ramp near Sullivan Hall. Brokaw and his club hosted a skate session and barbeque at the ramp where they raised several hundred dol-
While many college students cherish their Saturdays as a “day off ” from academics, one group of adolescents trades this day off every week to participate in a pre-college program sponsored by N.C. State. Around 200 middle and high school students competed against each other Saturday morning during the N.C. State Math and Science Education Network’s (MSEN) mini runoff for MSEN Day, an annual math and science competition. The finalists from the competition will contend against students from the other eight NC-MSEN pre-college programs across the state for the official MSEN Day at the end of April. For the mini runoff, students were divided into groups and worked on various hands-on projects and exercises, including creating parachute egg drops, water bottle rockets, engineering design and architecture, and robotics. Some students also competed in a quiz bowl, where they tested their knowledge of astronomy, chemistry, history and anatomy, among other subjects. According to Braska Williams, NCMSEN Coordinator, the goal of the pre-college program is to be more inclusive towards minority students, such as girls and first-generation college families, and children who come from families where no one is an en-

Museum unveils ‘30 Americans’ exhibit Students gather to enjoy NCMA’s first annual college night. Abby Miller Correspondent
On Friday, crowds of college students made their way to the North Carolina Museum of Art for the first annual “College Night,” put on by NCMA’s College Advisory Council. At the event, students were able to view the current “30 Americans” exhibition, which displayed the works of 31 contemporary African-American artists, all lent to the museum by the Rubell Family Collection in Miami, Florida. The 75 works ranged from portraits made of rhinestones and oil paints to old carpets and sculptures made of human hair. Kirsten Southwell, junior in graphic design, said she thought the exhibit’s use of contemporary ideas made it culturally relatable for students. “The 30 Americans exhibition was diverse and interesting, without the meanings of the pieces going over our heads,” Southwell said. But the 30 Americans exhibition wasn’t the only activity at “College Night.” Students were able to complete a scavenger hunt in the exhibition, enjoy modern and hip-hop dance routines by Southern High School Dance Group and Peace College, listen to poetry in the “Beatnik Café,” and eat with friends all for free with a student I.D.

sciences, said they agreed their favorite part of the event was the scavenger hunt. “In the scavenger hunt, we had to find different information about the artists in the 30 Americans exhibit. It was a cool way to view the exhibit,” Warren said. “I thought it was great that the museum had music, dancing, and food in addition to viewing the exhibit. They knew exactly how to entertain their audience,” said Chima Igboko, a junior in biomedical engineering. Charter buses from schools, such as Duke University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina Central University, and Shaw University traveled to bring students to the museum for this event, but they were not expecting the large amount of students who actually decided to come. Because of the positive feedback the NCMA College Advisory Council received from “College Night,” the council decided to organize another one around the same time

The exhibition will be displayed at the museum from October of this year to January of the next. Michelle Harrell, NCMA’s coordinator of teen and college programs, organized this first “College Night,” and said the event exceeded her expectations. “I am so overwhelmed.

gineer or scientist. In addition to making math and science fields appeal more to students, the pre-college program helps with developing communication skills for when they graduate from high school, according to Iris Wagstaff, an N.C. State graduate student and MSEN volunteer. Wagstaff, who has been working with the program for two semesters and has 20 years of other education outreach experience, said the program incorporates speakers and events like campus tours to educate high school students about college admissions. Additionally, there is a summer program where the students take courses on NCSU’s main campus, which provides an additional feel for life on campus. “It gives the students an opportunity to have resources they don’t have at their schools,” Wagstaff said. Assir Abushouk, an N.C. State MSEN student coordinator and sophomore in mathematics education, oversaw a group of students during the parachute egg drop competition, and said by volunteering
with the program he hopes to gain classroom management skills. “The students here are eager to engage and learn, even if it means coming in on Saturdays,” Abushouk said. “Their enthusiasm makes it easier for the teachers.” Donald McCoy, a robotics teacher for the program and retired IBM employee, said he was very happy to give back to the kids after his work at IBM. “I want these kids to be engaged in math and science,” McCoy said. “My focus is to make future engineers.” Williams, also an ’89 N.C. State alumnus and former high school teacher, said he thinks the relations the teachers form with students can often make the biggest impacts, especially for students from low-income backgrounds. “The program provides a lot of relations with students who may not have family members who say, ‘you should be an engineer,’ or, ‘you should go to college,’” Williams said. “You don’t think long-term when you come from a poor background. You think, ‘how am I going to feed myself today?’ It’s a whole different mindset.”

Professionalism needed in the Senate I
THE FACTS:
The Student Senate conducted their final meeting of the 90th session last Wednesday. Senators mainly proposed bills ending the session, including the Adjournment Sine Die legislation, which ends the session by naming the accomplishments of the Student Senate this session.
OUR OPINION:
The final senate meeting was an utter embarrassment to Student Government. The lack of professionalism from senators and their leaders at this meeting should be an example to the 91st session of how not to conduct a meeting.

CAMPUS FORUM

We don’t need to blame the victim I’m currently an undergraduate here at N.C. State, and am enrolled in the Peer Educator class for The Movement. I am writing in response to the article by John Wall, “Education chief weighs in on sexual violence.” Although I believe his intentions were good and basically to raise awareness to the public here at N.C. State. However, his methods are against what we, “The Movement,” believe in and that was not the point of the Court of Carolinas Flag display. The “preventive” measures to decrease sexual violence should not focus on what women should do, but rather how we can stop men from raping. Even if a woman does all the right things, she can still be raped because 90 percent of rapes are committed by someone the survivor knows and cares about. Also, 67-80 percent of perpetrators do it more than once, so even if someone is able to fight off the perpetrator they are going to find someone else. By giving women “tips” on how to not be raped we, as a society are blaming the victims once the rape has been committed instead of blaming the perpetrator who actually did something wrong. The rate of sexual assaults have not decreased over time even though more and more women are taking self defense classes and doing other “preventive” measures, instead the rates are increasing—this proves that so far our methods are wrong. Instead we need to change how our culture views rape and the survivor, so then the perpetrators are the ones truly punished and that there is zero tolerance for such acts. Frances De Los Santos freshmen, psychology
n any type of formal meeting, organizations are compelled to use the up-most professionalism and follow the appropriate parliamentary procedure to run an effective meeting. Last Wednesday’s senate meeting was the furthest thing from effective. Student Government’s faculty advisor was unable to attend the meeting due to a personal emergency. In her absence, the meeting was run with senators speaking out of turn, leaders using profane language and even compromising parliamentary procedure to pass the appropriate legislation to formally end the session. The Senate President elect, Ethan Harrelson, should use this meeting as an example of how not to run the senate meetings in the upcoming session.
According to the current Senate President Stephen Kouba, 19 senators were absent from the meeting at the initial rollcall and by the end of the meeting four senators had walked out for various reasons. No matter the reason, aside from a personal emergency, senators should have the professionalism to see through their commitment to the end of the meeting. Among these mere procedural faults of the meeting, President Kouba flew through the agenda as if he was an auctioneer, auctioning off pieces of the senate’s proposed legislation. Other senators said the meeting mirrored the second meeting of the session, where
Kouba attempted to appoint many of his fraternity brothers, sparking controversy within the senate. Kouba later said he interpreted this behavior as waving his “magic wand” to get things done. Unfortunately for him, this wand was not able to “bippity boppity boo” his leadership abilities to the ball. Many senators claimed if their advisor were present, she would not have tolerated the actions that occurred. Unfortunately for constituents, according to Article II, Section V of the Student Body Constitution, “the Student Senate shall establish its own rules of procedure which shall be included in the Student
Body Statutes.” This justifies the actions of incompetent leaders and apathetic senators at this meeting. Looking ahead, the future leaders of the senate should establish the proper guidelines for meetings and enforce them. The senate should be a body that does not rely on their faculty advisor to hold their hands through meetings. It should function with the proper professionalism and effectiveness expected of it by constituents. While it was the final meeting, the atmosphere had the potential to be more relaxed. There is a line between relaxed and unprofessional—and the senate could barely see the line from where they were standing in their last meeting.

The word count for this letter was waived . Response To ‘Education chief weighs in on sexual violence’ I’m currently a sophomore and am taking the ECD 222 Sexual Violence Prevention For Peer Educators course in hopes to become a part of The Movement. I’m writing in response to the “Education chief weighs in on sexual violence” article that was published on Monday. I would like to say that I agree and I’m happy to see that it was said, that the way to prevent sexual assault is by raising awareness. This is something that The Movement aims to do with workshops, displays like this, and events. We as peer educators aim to encourage everyone to be active bystanders and try to prevent situations like these. Also the point that rape does happen to males was a good one. Through all these good points, there seemed to be some points/ opinions that were made that gave the wrong impression. For instance while “the buddy system” is good, walking in groups is not going to prevent sexual assault. This is actually victim blaming when we say, “She shouldn’t have been walking at night alone.” And sexual assault does not just occur outside on dark streets by strangers. In 90 percent of rapes, the perpetrator is someone that the survivor knows and over 526 female students here at State could experience rape or attempted rape each school year. Preventing assaults is not a personal decision. We can decrease these instances by changing our culture into one where oppression is not tolerated or allowed. I hope this informs others of other points of the issue. LaSonya Harris sophomore, biochemistry

Planned Parenthood under fire
N
.C. State students are certainly no strangers to the budget cuts that have been impacting our nation. The federal government has put limits on spending for education resulting in multiple programs being cut Anokhi Shah from UniStaff Columnist versities everywhere. N.C. State students have felt the blow of these f i na nc ia l ly bu rden i ng times. Now the women of N.C. State, along with the women of our nation, face the prospect of no federal government spending on birth control, abortion, STD testing and overall women’s healthcare. It is unclear why the federal government chooses to target education and healthcare before other areas of government spending. February 18 marked the date of the United States House of Representatives’ attempt to withdraw federal funding from various institutions across the nation. If passed by the Senate, private institutions, namely Planned Parenthood, will take a major hit. Though Planned Parenthood is also funded by donations, 33 percent of its funding comes from the federal gov-
ernment. It is unclear whether the target of Planned Parenthood in the budget cuts was due to ideological or financial reasons. Some suggest that the general anti-abortion stance taken by conservative Republicans may shed some light on the origin of this measure. Many of these other programs that have received cuts in federal funding have been unpopular by the Republican platform. But Planned Parenthood is one of the programs that may lose the entirety of its federal funding. If the Senate passes the spending cuts, the impact upon women, particularly low-income women, will be detrimental. There are about 800 Planned Parenthood institutions across the country, all of which, without federal funding, risk closing. Though many believe that the bill is propelled by anti-abortion, conservative ideology, Planned Parenthood is known to provide other services for preventative sexual health information. This includes family planning and access to contraceptives. The agency also offers cancer screening, sexually transmitted disease testing and even flu shots and diabetes screening for women who do not have the means to obtain them. Aside from exposing lowincome women to risks against their health, the cuts would further impact teen pregnancy rates. Teen pregnancies have risen steadily over the past three years; without Planned
Parenthood, those numbers can only rise. Supporters of this measure are naive to believe that pregnancy rates will not rise—teenagers will continue to have sex, whether contraceptives are freely available or not. It is indisputable that this bill, if passed, will negatively impact the lives of thousands of women across the country. North Carolina, alone, is in the top 10 list of states with the highest Gonorrhea and Syphilis rate The question remains— why Planned Parenthood? To cut federal spending on this program seems unnecessary to say the least. The federal government seems to have an unlimited supply of cash when it comes to sending missiles into a foreign country, or to provide federal subsidies to large oil corporations. Yet it’s the health care provided to low-income women that is targeted first. Cutting federal spending in defense and corporations appears as a better method to balance our nation’s budge. If the Senate passes this bill, the federal government and their backward priorities will face public opposition. Send Anokhi Shah your thoughts on planned parenthood to letters@technicianonline.com.

College of Design opens its studios for public viewing Through Design Studio Collective, students can see what really goes on in the College of Design. Elizabeth Ayscue Staff Writer
“There’s a tendency for the College of Design to be perceived as a black hole where students go and never come back,” Tim Rosenberg, a senior in graphic design and Design Council president, said. But the students of the College of Design are out to dispel that myth once and for all. All students and community members will have the rare opportunity to peek into the College of Design with their annual Design Studio Collective on April 16.

He explained that during one architecture studio, students are supposed to actually build something instead of a model, but due to the economic crisis, professors were worried the students would not have the money to build. “Building something is a valuable lesson and it’s a valuable studio for us,” Hobgood said. The group Hobgood worked with did fundraising on their own to build the bike rack. “We didn’t have to do something; we didn’t have to do the extra work,” Hobgood said. Rosenberg stressed that while the event is free, participants must register online.

It’s really interesting to see what everyone else puts up,” Tibbitts said. “There’s a lot of great students and cool work that’s being done.” “People should come because it shows the diversity of work at the College of Design,” Leonard said. “Studio Collective is a fantastic opportunity for the other colleges on campus and the community at large to discover all the talent and hard work that goes into the College of Design,” Rosenberg said.

Junior pitcher Morgan Peeler was credited with the loss. “We couldn’t really get any momentum going in our favor this weekend, junior Wells said. “They are a very good hitting team and have great pitching, but the thing is we are a good team to, we just couldn’t hang with them for the most part.” In the rubber match game

Cox was picked up the loss, giving up six runs on seven hits in five innings of work. “I need to make some more adjustments,” Cox said. “In the second game I didn’t keep them off balance and I think that hurt us.” But even after the loss, the team seems ready to bounce back believing that it just needs to get all aspects of the team working together and things will turn around. “It is so frustrating, but even-

Junior Emmanuel Davis who finished first in the long jump, was not completely satisfied with his 23’ 1 ¾ ” jump and is prepared to work harder to reach his goal. “You always want to do your best and I know I can jump a lot better than that,” Davis said. “I was content with placing first overall in an event and going into ACC’s in the next couple of weeks, that’s a good confidence booster and it’s going to make me work harder to get better.” Followed by Davis in the long jump, were teammates Lamont Savage in second place and junior Kwame Boatwright, who finished in ninth place on Sat-

Pack drops series finale to Tar Heels
Baseball gets swept by the Hurricanes After winning two straight ACC series over Clemson and Wake, the team backtracked over the weekend, as it lost all three of its games against the Miami Hurricanes. Junior pitcher Cory Mazzoni picked up the loss in the first game, as the team lost 4-1, but it wasn’t due to Mazzoni’s performance. The junior pitched 7.2 innings, allowing just four runs on six hits while striking out 11. However, the offense couldn’t back him up at it managed only five hits in the entire game. The second game of the series was a wild one, as State scored eight runs in the eight inning to send the game to extra innings, but the Canes, prevailed scoring a run in the 10th inning to win, 14-13. The offense disappeared again in the series finale as the team managed only three hits and fell 3-0. SOURCE: N.C. STATE ATHLETICS

Team unable to wake bats up on Sunday, fall 6-0. Taylor Barbour Sports Editor
The softball team could not muster up enough offense Sunday as it dropped the final game of the series 6-0 against the North Carolina Tar Heels. Tar Heel pitcher Lori Spingola pitched a gem of a game, allowing only two hits in route to the complete game shutout win over the Pack. With the loss the Pack drops below .500, as it sits at 18-19 (2-9 in the ACC). With the dominating performance by Spingola, junior designated hitter Bethany Wells credits the pitchers ability to mix up pitches, keeping the Pack hitters off balance. “The change up is a tough pitch to hit and she has a good one. We could pick up on it here and there but she is very good,” Wells said. “You can’t try and guess what she is going to throw because she has it all and she did a great job keeping us off balance.” Wit h t he loss, State dropped the series against the Tar Heels, managing to only win one game out of the three-game weekend series

“The first game we really went out and executed and came out on top,” junior left fielder Toni Ann Willford said. “But the last two games we didn’t really execute as well and didn’t really hit like we did in the first two games.” The series started off Saturday with a double header, as the softball team played its annual Kay Yow Pink Games, helping to raise money for cancer re-
search. Through a silent auction and general donations, the Pack raised $2,140 on the day. And State played well early in the pink uniforms, picking up a win in the opening game, 3-1. Willford felt as though the Kay Yow game helped provide the team with a little more motivation than any ordinary game. “It is kind of an emotional game,” Willford said. “You get
the opportunity to go out and play for a great cause and that helps us from a motivational standpoint.” Freshman pitcher Kayla Cox earned the win in the first game, pitching a complete game four hitter, while junior Bethany Wells provided enough offense drilling a tworun homerun to back Cox in the first inning. Cox said she enjoyed the opportunity to
be able to pitch in a game that means so much to the University. “It was awesome,” Cox said. “It was a great opportunity that I got to pitch that game for that event. It was great and I just enjoyed it and gave it all I had.” However, State was unable to carry the momentum into

Volleyball shines in spring games
Losing streak ends against Virginia Tech
Pack holds spring tournament, goes undefeated.
Men’s tennis team wins first ACC match of the season.

The Wolfpack women’s volleyball team played host to five local teams Saturday as part of its spring tournament at Reynolds Coliseum. The tournament was the third of the spring season for the Pack which finished its 2010 campaign 14-18 (416 ACC) under first year coach Bryan Bunn. “Because it was at home, it was more fun,” junior libero Kelly Wood said. “As a whole we’re more okay [than during the first tournament.] There’s more chemistry between us now as opposed to the first tournament when we weren’t exactly sure who was going to do what.” The Pack played seven games on the day, two each against North Carolina Central and Gardner-Webb in the morning and three against Elon in the afternoon, winning each contest. “We’ve been doing a lot of individual things this spring, and not a lot of team things,” Bunn said. “So it was good to come out and win all the games today and play well as a team.” According to Bunn, the team is making solid improvements during its spring practices, which was evident in its matches. “We’ve been working a lot on blocking so we saw a lot of improvement on blocking this weekend,” Bunn said. “The footwork was a lot better with our defenders and our blockers, so we did see that.” In addition to playing three games in one day, the Pack faced the challenge of only having seven players. “One of the difficulties is that if you need to make a sub, the sub obviously isn’t

there because you only have seven people,” Wood said. “And people have to play outside their normal positions.” But this difficulty also presented the players with an opportunity for growth. “It’s kind of fun,” Bunn said. “Everybody gets to play and if you mess up you stay in. It does get to be a challenge if the day gets to be a little longer. But with only seven games in a day it’s not a big deal only having seven players.” In all, the players have seen definite improvements in their chemistry in the three tournaments. “We’re a lot more energetic and that comes from the communication,î redshirt sophomore setter Megan Cyr said. “We’re really focusing on
communicating after each play as a team.” The team is even improving its chemistry with its incoming freshmen, before they even lace up for the Pack. “I’m so excited about the freshmen coming in,” Wood said. “We all keep in touch with them. It’s going to be a great year; we’ve got some good people coming in.” Following a season in which the Pack notched the most overall and conference wins by the program since 1999, next year’s squad seems poised to continue the improvement. “We’ve got some really good athletes coming in so we’ll be much more athletic than we were last year,” Bunn said.
The No. 67 ranked men’s tennis team picked up its first ACC win of the season against No. 38 Virginia Tech on Sunday at Pullen Park. The 5-2 victory marked the end of an eight game losing streak that has plagued the Wolfpack since they began ACC play at the beginning of March. The two seniors who were honored on the day, Rob Lowe and David Chermak, both picked up wins in the last doubles matches they will ever play for N.C. State. Lowe had a bittersweet reaction to seeing the end of his final home match for the Wolfpack. “It’s sad,” Rowe said. “Four years at State goes quick. I never knew this day would come as soon as it did. I’m proud of the team, I’m proud of myself, and I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished.” The Wolfpack clinched all three wins in doubles competition on the day. Chermak and redshirt junior Julian Sullivan put the Pack on the right track by quickly finishing with an 8-3 victory in the No. 3 doubles spot. Junior Jaime Pulgar and sophomore David Thomson soon followed, defeating their Hokie opponents 8-4 at No. 2 to secure the doubles point. After battling through a hotly contested match, junior Dominic Hodgson and Lowe took the No. 1 doubles victory 8-7. Lowe was thrilled but not surprised to come away with a win against the No. 66 ranked doubles team in the nation. “It feels good,” Lowe said. “Me and Dom [Hodgson]
are quite capable at winning at number one as long as we play basic and as long as we make our shots. We’ve been doing that at practice. We came out today and didn’t really change anything and played the way that we know we can play and it paid off. It’s looks pretty special on paper to beat a ranked team but on the court, everyone is the same.” After the doubles defeat, the Hokies immediately struck back at the No. 5 spot with a win in singles against Sullivan, ending his three consecutive singles match winning streak. Pulgar then followed with a swift victory over the No. 50 singles player in the nation, winning 6-1, 6-4. Pulgar was content to perform so well considering he is still recovering from a recent injury. “I’m still not 100 percent,” Pulgar said. “This is the second week I’ve been back at practice and it gets better day by day.” Hodgson put the Pack up to three points after winning 6-4, 6-2 at the No. 2 position. Thomson, after falling behind 5-1 in the first set, fought his way back to a two-set victory, defeating Virginia Tech’s Trpimir Kujundzic 7-6, 7-5. Kujundzic, realizing he had lost the match for his team, threw his tennis racket over the fence in a fit of anger. All the while, Ivan Sanchez Gomez fought his way to victory on the No. 3 court, winning two straight sets after losing the first 5-7, 6-1, 6-4. Coach Jon Choboy was at a loss for words when asked to choose who had performed the best on the day. “I don’t know who gets the game ball,” Choboy said. “I wouldn’t have enough of them. It was definitely a team effort. It’s been a team effort when we’ve lost, too. We’ve had a number of guys not performing well at the same time. Today, we put it all together. We’re a good team; I don’t care what anyone says.”
