Massive Tornado hits Raleigh

Sanford, N.C.—up close and personal

Editor’s note: Staff writer Chelsey Francis was in her hometown of Sanford, N.C. when the tornado hit the area. This is her reflection on the damage sustained, one of the hardest hit areas. Living in North Carolina, you don’t really expect to have somewhere around 60 tornados touch down in one day. It’s even crazier to see one of the tornados form and rip through the lot right next to your uncle’s house. Saturday was a strange day in Sanford, N.C. The weather was weird all day. The air felt almost heavy. Chelsey T h at mor n i ng Francis I worked as the Student & clerk for my unresident of cle’s first auction, Sanford, N.C. which was held on his property. The auction was larger than we thought it was going to be with about 115 people there, not including the help. No one could have imagined that an hour and a half after they left would be chaos. Fortunately, by the time it started raining hard we were finished with cleaning up the auction and helping people load up their purchases. It had been raining off and on all day, but around 2:30 the bottom finally fell out. Around 3:15 p.m. on Saturday we were looking outside because of how dark it’d become. The sky made it look like it was night. It was storming when the tornado touched down and ripped apart the house beside us. The man that lived in the house was, fortunately, not home when his tractor trailer was thrown through the house. Watching the tornado develop was insane. Luckily, the tornado steered away from our house, but pulled tin from the roof of one of our sheds. Shortly after the tornado destruction beside our house, we heard the tornado had continued across the southern end of our county, towards the Lowe’s and Tractor Supply. Since I had been working at the auction all day, I wasn’t completely sure where my parents were, but they had said there was a chance they would be going to Lowe’s Saturday afternoon. Trying to find my parents to make sure they were okay was terrifying. Fortunately, they hadn’t made it to Lowe’s yet, so they were okay. In Sanford, the southern end of our county has been severely damaged. The roof of Tractor Supply was damaged. The Big Lots, right beside Tractor Supply, caught fire as a result of the tornado. Lowe’s, which is across the street from Tractor Supply and Big Lots, was demolished. The front corner of Lowe’s is gone and the front and side of the store collapsed after the roof was ripped off. Several of my friends and family friends are currently without a house because of the tornado. As of right now, according to Sanford police, no one was killed at Lowe’s. There have been two reported fatalities in Sanford, one of which was the result of an automobile accident.

A severe storm cell swept across North Carolina Saturday, killing 22 and injuring 130 others as several tornadoes touched down across the region. Areas of Raleigh hit hardest were South Saunders Street, Stony Brook mobile home park, where three people died, and the area around Shaw University. Irma McClaurin, President of Shaw University, released a letter to all students and parents stating that the university would be closed for the remainder of the semester. According to the McClaurin, Shaw “students will be graded on the work they have accomplished to date. The Math and English Competency Exam requirements are suspended for this semester only.” The storms that hit North Carolina

were part of a three-day ordeal that hit the southern United States, killing more than forty people in total. North Carolina was hit the hardest and has the highest number of casualties, with 20 counties facing significant damage and over 200,000 people without power. Captain Jon Barnwell, patrol division commander for Campus Police, said there is no monetary estimate for the damage on campus. “It was a near miss, since the tornado was right next to campus. We have about 20 rooftops with wind damage on campus, and we are coordinating to get those cleaned up,” Barnwell said. “There was also flooding in certain areas, but with the potential of what could have happened we really dodged a bullet.” Sally Highsmith, sophomore in psychology, said she watched the storm from her Carroll Hall window.

Campus procedures reviewed in light of storm Students on campus followed housing procedures in order to stay safe during the storm. Elise Helgar Staff Writer

Students who were in dorms on campus got quite the scare Saturday afternoon when one of the biggest storms to hit North Carolina blew directly past campus. Resident advisors in the dorms followed housing procedures in an effort to keep all students safe. According to Derek Spicer, a resident advisor in Turlington Hall, an RA’s first job is student safety. “We are supposed to evacuate students to a basement area or to the best and safest area possible. Our first priority is keeping students safe,” he said. Although University Housing does have official policies and procedures

for what to do in the event of a weather emergency, Spicer said that resident advisors are not officially trained in what to do. They have been taught the procedures but have no formal training. “Housing does have a policy for it, but RA’s are not formally trained. They informed us of what to do when the storm showed signs of getting worse,” Spicer said. Despite the lack of formal training for weather emergencies, Spicer said that he thinks the resident advisors are capable of doing a good job. “As long as housing effectively communicates with us, it’s okay,” Spicer said. In the event of adverse weather, resident advisors are instructed to lead the residents to the most secure place available in the dorm. For dorms like Turlington and Alexander, students

Climate change represents one of the major global challenges of our time. That’s why Bayer is investing approximately $1.5 billion between 2008 and 2010 in climate-related research and projects. Through the Bayer Climate Program, the company is working to reduce its “climate footprint” and develop sustainable solutions. The Bayer Climate Check, for example, is a new tool for reducing CO 2 emissions in production processes. With the aid of modern biotechnology, we are increasing the stress tolerance of crops against heat and drought, giving agriculture a chance to overcome the consequences of climate change. To reduce energy consumption in offices and industrial buildings, we are working with partners to develop the “EcoCommercial Building.” Based on highly efficient polyurethane insulation and regenerative energies, it can meet its own energy needs – a global concept for zero-emission buildings that can be implemented throughout the world. www.climate.bayer.com

{Our view}

Woodson’s voice must echo the students’ C

The Facts:

Chancellor Woodson reassured students the State’s projected 15 percent cut was the extreme, and N.C. State could only expect an eight percent cut. Now, the North Carolina House of Representatives released their budget plan, which includes a 15.5 percent cut to the UNC System budget.

Our Opinion:

The chancellor needs to keep up communication between representatives in the General Assembly to make sure these cuts do not make it to the final budget, for the sake of N.C. State he should keep his promises.

hancellor Woodson inherited the worst set of budget cuts last year our University had ever seen, and it is his responsibility to ensure N.C. State takes the right course of action by its student, faculty and community. He should be battling representatives to give education a chance—and this begins with ensuring this round of budget cuts doesn’t pass. Woodson has the largest voice for students and faculty at N.C. State and he should use it. He should be talking over the budget situation with representatives and showing them our campus and the positive impacts it has on the state. The legislators should be regularly visiting our campus to see what we are up to.

handful, making our University less attractive to prospective students. This is the last thing we would want—a decrease in tuition-paying students. Woodson’s voice must echo the wants and needs of the N.C. State community. He must be held accountable for the next series of actions he takes to take-on these proposed cuts. While he has been recommended a plan to combat the budget cuts, he should ensure his priorities are properly aligned with what is in the best interests of the students—this does not include cutting programs and merging colleges.

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.

Along with this, he should be communicating with the student body to try and find out what we want, and how we should combat these current cuts. This issue needs to be publicized, not handled behind closed-doors. While some cuts to programs and student services are a necessary evil, the evaluation of which cuts to make can and should be decided with the student body, not for them. Opening the lines of communication could prevent such drastic measures as the recently elimination of OASIS and its pre-law advising services. According to the Recom-

mendation for Strategic Realignment, some of the major changes include the merger of colleges and the elimination of over 60 program areas. The combination of the Colleges of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Agriculture and Life Savings and Natural Resources into one college would subsidized the resources already neglected to students in these colleges. This would damage, rather than help, the individual colleges which would hurt our ability to help the state. This editorial has been edThe elimination of programs ited to fit the space.

Budget crisis averted, now what?

ow about a round of applause for our friends in the United States Congress? On the evening of Friday, April 8, our elected representatives finally put it all together and avoided what would have been the first shutdown of the Federal Government since 1995. Ma ny Nick are wondering Romanos Staff Columnist what changes are going to come following what is being hailed as a historic deficitreducing measure. It would be unwise to expect anything too drastic, other than another small blow to lower and middle class individuals and a re-kindled war of rhetoric over moral government interventions. $38 billion in cuts might sound like a lofty number to the average American, but take a look at the national debt, which has recently surpassed $14 trillion. Take a look at where these cuts are coming from and it becomes increasingly clear which groups of people are to bear the brunt of the new budget. According to whitehouse.gov, “The two sides agreed to cut $13 billion from funding programs at the Department of Labor, Education and Health and Human Services” as well as “reductions to housing programs and some health care programs.” Apparently, the United States, collectively, finds it acceptable to renew the Bush-era tax cuts for millionaires, adding $700 billion to the deficit while reducing services affecting those most in need. Democrats must be commended for staying the course and not giving into the Tea Party’s assault on women’s rights. De-funding Planned Parenthood would only represent a $400 million savings in the 2011 budget. For this, merely fiscally conservative Republicans were satisfied to allow for the continued funding of the organization in favor of making other, more substantial cuts in different sectors of the government. Reports started coming out days before the compromise was reached saying that the two sides had found a financial common ground. It was made known the final agreement was held up in part due to the Tea Party’s insisting

Planned Parenthood be put on the chopping block. Welcome to the new reality of American politics, where an action of one party will hold up an entire legislative process on the basis of an unyielding desire to stick their noses in your reproductive rights. And yet they continue to preach of the limitless benefits of minimal government. Speaking of minimal government, Rep. Paul Ryan, in the past week, proposed a bold plan for the next fiscal year that would aim to reduce the national debt by $6.5 trillion over the next decade while reducing taxes to a rate of 25 percent for the highest tax bracket. Now there’s a debt reduction measure that will make a difference. The only problem is the Federal Government plans to pay for it, in large part, by gradually altering Medicare, transforming it into a system of subsidizing the purchase of private insurance for old people. Translation—if the Republicans get their way and reverse the Obama healthcare legislation, you better hope Granny’s hip replacement isn’t considered to be stemming from a preexisting condition. With the 2012 election looming and a final budget resolution that neither side seems terribly pleased with, a battle is imminent regarding next year’s budget. Democrats will continue to make concessions to appease the GOP, while attempting to justify to their more liberal base that such compromises are unavoidable, the Right will be drumming up its war plan to make Obama a oneterm president. Prepare for an epic shouting match that will likely result in a final situation that disadvantages the poor, spoils the rich and leaves everyone with a sizeable bad taste in his or her mouth.

Drill, baby, drill

f you’ve been paying attention to the various signs and f lyers posted on the walls, inside dorm buildings and in other places around campus, you might have noticed there are severa l prog r a m s N.C . State offers to promote sustainability, saving energy and look ing Jasmine into alternate Clark forms of enStaff Columnist ergy. While I think it’s nice people do projects and research to explore alternate forms of energy such as solar panels and electric cars, I still think we need more oil drilling in the United States. Our country has a lot of natural resources that we haven’t used. How much oil is in the United States? Some people think we have about 28 million barrels of oil, which isn’t that much compared to the rest of the world. However, according to a report by the Congressional Research Service, we actually have 162 million barrels. The 28 million number is just the proven oil reserves in places we are already drilling. It doesn’t include untapped resources just waiting to be explored. What’s more, if you add the United States reserves of oil, natural gas and coal and compare that with the rest of the world, the total is over 1,300 barrels of oil equivalent in energy—more than any other country in the world. A lot of people don’t know that.

Unfortunately, the United States imports a lot of oil and such from other countries. According to a natural resources research team from the government, oil imports into the United States are on the rise. About 9.1 millions of barrels of oil a day were imported in 2010, and by 2012 it could reach as high as 9.6. No wonder gas prices are high. Many students here definitely k now what it‘s like to pay high gas prices. That’s why we have seen an increase of electric and smartcars on campus. Environmentalists don’t support more U.S. drilling, because they claim it damages the environment. But actually, a lot of oil, in Alaska for example, is in desolate wastelands with not a whole lot of life. I’ve seen pictures and video of vast lands that aren’t being used for anything right now. President Obama and the government need to speed up the process of giving oil companies drilling permits. The Gulf oil spill was certainly horrible but just because a company was sloppy in following regulations doesn’t mean that we should just completely stop drilling. That makes no sense. That’s like banning the driving of cars just because car accidents take place. Safety regulations need to be strictly followed. But drilling should continue. President Obama’s moratorium on oil is start-

ing to put U.S. companies out of business, and other countries are taking over our rigs. How exactly does that help the U.S. economy again? Again, I think it’s fine that people are making efforts to do research on alternate forms of energy; if people want to drive hybrid or electric c a rs t hen that’s great. Another example is N.C. State’s Think Outside the Brick competition, which promoted more sustainable energy practices on campus. I know people here are doing research to find energy sources that are more easily developed and renewable than oil and I appreciate their efforts. But that doesn’t mean that we all can throw practicality out the window. We need to tap into our resources in our own country. Sarah Palin put it best when she recently said, “I have always been in favor of an ‘all-ofthe-above’ approach to energy independence, but ‘all-of-the-above’ means conventional resource development too. It means a coherent, practical, and forward-looking energy policy.”

“I was actually in the library. They evacuated to the second floor where there are no windows. There were some people out watching the storm by the Wolf Ears.” Brian Helgans sophomore, environmental science

“We actually have 162 million barrels.”

sation, laughter, and friendly yet competitive banter between the clubs persisted. Win Pratt, a senior in international studies and religious studies minor, said he is taking bowling as a PE this semester. Pratt was the highest scoring member of the ASRC teams in both rounds. “I’m doing alright. I’m bowling better than I usually do,” Pratt said. Dustin Leininger, a sophomore in physics, had a solid round with a few strikes at his first Smackdown. “I feel pretty good. It’s great to get out and meet people in the same major as you,” Leininger said. “I feel great about the strikes. I’m feeling on a roll.” Mary Hamner, a senior in religious studies, felt she did not do as well. She still had an enjoyable evening, however. “Tonight’s been a blast,”

Hamner said. At the end of the night, the scores were tallied. Palmer led his club to a third consecutive victory, with a 168 in the first round — the highest score of the night. “I pulled a rabbit out of my hat,” Palmer said of his round. According to Rives, Smackdown’s scoring system has been revised over the years. The current policy, taking the three highest scores from each round, is to encourage attendance by those who fear they may bring their team down. The prize for the winning club is the Golden Bowling Pin Trophy, which Rives said will be presented at the departmental graduation ceremony.

University keeps students in mind when choosing speakers The hundreds of speakers that come and go throughout the year, famous or not, are chosen based on student interest. Brooke Shafranek Staff Writer

Required credentials for speaking at a college campus range from a doctoral degree to an overpaid, over-tan celebrity. According to TJ Willis, the assistant director of Campus Activities, the choice of speaker at N.C. State is ultimately the decision of the students. “If the student body wants a speaker to come,” Willis said, “then that is up to the students.” Willis said there are a veriety of ways to book a speaker. “Sometimes hear about it from students who want a speaker to come, whether it’s by a committee or someone’s friend,” Willis said. “Other times, we will get contacted by agents calling or emailing us who are looking to bring something from a magazine or something promotional to campus.” A committee of students would meet to choose a speaker and go about the process of bringing the speaker to campus. “They select a speaker and go over it in the budget to see if this is who they really want to ALEX SANCHEZ/TECHNICIAN have,” Willis said, “and there is General Ray Odierno addresses attendees of graduation Dec. 18, 2010.

Both Baist and Burton hope students will come out and support these children and help Artem find a family, while also having a great time playing basketball. Drinks and food will be on sale, and they have received food donations from various companies in the Raleigh area. Baist said she has also been in contact with the Triangle Down Syndrome network which is helping to spread the word. The tournament will take place on April 29 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. in Carmichael Gymnasium’s basketball courts one and two. It costs $15 for a team of three to play. Above all, Baist said the whole event is about helping the children. “They don’t judge people by appearances. They have this sense of purity that a lot of us have lost,” Baist said. Baist and Burton are very dedicated to the cause and believe that other people’s lives have been touched by these children. “I think everyone is impacted by someone with Down syndrome or other special needs,” Burton said. “We want to spread the word,” Baist said, “and share our love for these children and show how incredibly special they are.”

series sweep. In addition to the offensive onslaught was a tremendous effort from the pitching staff, most notably redshirt senior Rob Chamra. He earned his team-leading fifth victory of the season allowing only four hits in 5 1/3 scoreless innings. Chamra has pitched well both as a starter and coming out of the pen this year, establishing himself as one of the Pack’s most valuable pitchers. “I didn’t have my best stuff but I tried locating everything, and I let those guys behind me make the plays,” Chamra said. “I let them put the ball in play and good things happened today.” The defense was once again a vital factor in the team’s success this weekend. Brett Williams made a game changing catch in the fourth inning yesterday that ended Carolina’s only legitimate threat of the game. With one out and runners on first and second, Williams tracked down a ball in the gap catching it up against the wall, and had the presence of mind to double off the runner at second to end the inning. “That’s two runs right there,” coach Avent said. “That was the play of the game no question.” The series victory was es-

peared to be in mid-season form. Cole, who finished with a team-high 97 tackles a year ago, has been making the transition from strongside to middle linebacker, filling the void left by Nate Irving. The native of Monroe, Mich. admitted that learning a new position took time to get used to initially, but said he now feels comfortable. “It took me a couple of practices to get comfortable and now I’m just trying to limit my mistakes and get better at making plays,” Cole said. Cole also said Green’s performance in the spring game was promising bec au se t he sophomore has been thrusted into a starting role after playing predominantly on special teams last season.

instead of a Carl.” With the Wolfpack Spring Open over, State now has a week to prepare for the ACC Championships at Old North State Country Club in New London, N.C. But the team knows it has a lot to work on if it hopes to be in contention for it. “It will be my first time play-

ing the conference championship. But the ACC is a strong conference, so we definitely need to play well if we want to have a shot at winning,” Choi said. “Everyone just needs to learn from this week and learn from their mistakes and tune up there games for next week.”

“I thought D.J did really well today,” Cole said. “The thing with D.J. is that he’s going through a position change, but it’s also only his second season. So he’s still learning. Just like last year’s edition of the spring game, Glennon commanded the first-team offense, but this time, as the Wolfpack’s starting quarterback. The Pack has decided to move on without Russell Wilson, and hand the keys to the offense over to Glennon. “Last year, I was in the same position with Russell not being here and the competition was up in the air,” Glennon said, who finished with 182 yards and two interceptions. “But coach [O’Brien] has told me that they are going with me so it gives me confidence that I can come out here and lead this team to victory.” After only seeing the field three times a last season as Wilson’s backup, the Centreville, Va. Native said playing in Saturday’s game-like environment

was highly beneficial because it will be his only chance before the Pack’s season-opening game against Liberty on Sept. 3, 2011. “I have plenty of experience out on the practice field, I just don’t have a lot of experience out on the game field,” Glennon said. “[Playing in the spring game] is the closest I am going to get to game time experience until the first game of the season, so I think it’s beneficial for me to play in this type of environment.” O’Brien said the offensive woes can be easily corrected and expects another successful season following a victory over West Virginia in the Champs Sports Bowl to finish 9-4 last year. “We still have some things to work out on offense, but we can solve those problems,” O’Brien said. “It looks we have a chance to be a really competitive team again next year.”

Pack sweeps Heels in weekend series

Men’s basketball names Moxley as assistant coach

Pack wins 10-2 Sunday to sweep 5th ranked Carolina

N.C. State head coach Mark Gottfried announced Friday that Rob Moxley will join the Wolfpack staff as an assistant coach. Moxley rejoins N.C. State assistant coach Bobby Lutz, who he has previously worked with at three different schools. Moxley comes to N.C. State after serving as an assistant coach at Middle Tennessee last season. Prior to his one-year stint at MTSU, he served as Lutz’s associate head coach at Charlotte for five seasons and was with the program 12 years overall. He served as an assistant coach for seven years (1999-2005) before accepting an assistant coaching position at Maryland in 2005-06. He returned to Charlotte after one season to take over as associate head coach. SOURCE: N.C. STATE ATHLETICS

Women’s tennis wins big on senior day No. 33 N.C. State ran away with a 6-1 Senior Day win over No. 51 Boston College Sunday at Pullen Park. 30th-ranked Sanaa Bhambri and 85th-ranked Sandhya Nagaraj completed a perfect 6-0 weekend, combined, winning each of their singles matches and pairing as the 30th-ranked doubles team to knock off Veronica Corning and Erina Kikuchi 8-4 to clinch the doubles point. N.C. State (14-7, 5-6 ACC) wraps up the regular season with the win, and turns its attention to the ACC Tournament, beginning Thursday in Cary, N.C.

Tornadoes weren’t the only thing that ripped through Raleigh this weekend as N.C. State uprooted UNC this weekend with a 5-4 series victory, a close 8-7 win in Saturday’s matchup and a dominating 10-2 victory Sunday to complete a series sweep over the fifth-ranked Tarheels. Sunday’s victory marked the first time State has swept Carolina since head coach Elliott Avent’s inaugural season in 1997. With the sweep the Wolfpack improved to 2116 and 8-10 in the ACC. Eight out of the nine Wolfpack starters hit safely on Sunday and every starter reached base at least once. Junior outfielder John Giannis paced the offense with a 4-5 day and sophomore outfielder Cameron Conner also contributed three hits, including two doubles and pair of RBI’s. Sunday’s offensive outburst was an appropriate ending to a series that couldn’t have gone any better for the Pack “We had a lot of confidence swinging the bats,” Conner said. “We knew we needed to win. We wanted to not only win but win big and that’s what we came out and did.” State was unable to take advantage of early scoring opportunities, loading the bases in the second and third innings, but finally broke through in the fifth inning to a 4-0 lead. State loaded the bases again thanks to a leadoff single from junior out-

fielder Brett Williams, a walk by junior catcher Pratt Maynard, and perfectly placed bunt single from junior infielder Andrew Ciencen. Sophomore outfielder Tarran Senay followed with a two RBI single past the first baseman and Conner added a two RBI double of his own to give the pack the lead.

The Wolfpack continued to pour it on in the sixth adding six more runs. After loading the bases again, junior infielder Harold Riggins found a hole on the left side to drive in a run and senior Chris Schaeffer, came through with a pinch hit two RBI double. Schaeffer eventually came around to score on a Giannis RBI

double who then stole third and scored on a wild pitch extending the lead to 10-0. Carolina managed to score in the ninth but it was too little, too late as the Pack went on to the 10-2 win and

Hill posted a time of 3:44.42. Throwers excelled for the Wolfpack women’s team, as junior Brittany Hampton won handily in the discus for her third victory of the season. She had her best toss this year at 170-feet, 4-inches. Junior Lawanda Henry was second in the hammer throw at 169-feet, 5-inches, and freshman Tremanisha Taylor, competing unattached, won the shot put at 42-feet, 2 1/4-inches and was second to Hampton in the discus at 156-feet, 1-inch.

Defense outperforms offense Golfers finishes fourth in sloppy spring scrimmage at Wolfpack Spring Open Rough conditions Saturday put State in a hole it couldn’t dig itself out of.

Interceptions by Manning and Cole lift the Red team to a 13-3 victory in shortened spring game.

In a game almost as unpredictable as the tornadostricken weather Saturday afternoon, the Red team beat the White team 13-3 in the 3rd annual Kay Yow Spring Football Game at Carter-Finley Stadium, which ended prematurely due to the impending thunderstorms. “We quest ioned t he weather all day yesterday and all day today,” coach Tom O’Brien said. “I want to thank the fans for showing up. It was a great effort on their part.” The 13,139 fans that did attend the game witnessed a defensive battle. Featuring the first-team defense, the Red squad gave new starting quarterback Mike Glennon and the first-team offense fits, as it tipped six passes at the line of scrimmage, two resulting in interceptions. Sophomore D.J. Green, who is making the transition from safety to linebacker this season, got his hands on the first of those passes, knocking Glennon’s attempt in the air allowing junior linebacker Terrell Manning to scamper 53 yards to the end zone for the game’s first score. Three plays later, senior

linebacker Audie Cole made an interception after another Glennon pass was tipped. Cole returned it five yards before junior offensive guard R.J. Mattes stopped him dead in his tracks with a big lick. O’Brien was pleased with the performance of the linebacking corps and said they have been gaining more and more confidence as spring practice has progressed. “The play Terrell made was a great play,” O’Brien said. “He

couldn’t have made that play a year ago, but he can make it now because of that confidence. Audie [Cole] looks a lot better in day 15 and D.J. [Green] is going to make a lot of mistakes, but he has the athletic ability to make up for some of those.” The reshuff ling of the linebackers was just one of the many storylines entering the game, but they ap-

The men’s golf team finished fourth in the Wolfpack Spring Open at Lonnie Poole Golf Course Sunday, finishing at 28over, 14 strokes off Richmond, which won the tournament at 14-over. The 12-team tournament featured teams from all around the east coast, including North Carolina, Maryland, George Mason and Old Dominion. Before any tornado touched down in the Triangle area on Saturday, Mother Nature played a pivotal role in the tournament. The Wolfpack had a late tee time, which led to harsh playing conditions, most notably, 35-mph wind gusts. And those rough conditions showed up in State’s scoring as it shot a 306 as team, third worst on the day. “No one played well. We really got a bad draw yesterday,” senior Brandon Detweiler said. “We teed off later and there were no low scores. The weather was horrible, winds were blowing 20-30 miles per hour. Heck, a tornado came through two hours after we finished playing.” And those conditions Saturday all but eliminated the team’s chances to win its home tournament, and any home court advantage the players had going into their rounds on Saturday “The first round the conditions were bad,” freshman Albin Choi said. “It was so differ-

ent it almost felt like we didn’t have a home course advantage. It was anybody’s game out there and we all played bad.” However, head coach Richard Sykes believes the conditions are not an excuse for the team’s poor performance on its home course. “We were within 45-minutes of the people playing early and the wind was the same all day long,” Sykes said. “You just have to compliment the other team for playing really well.” State battled back into contention in the final round, as it shot the second lowest score of the day with a six-over, good enough to catapulted the team up three spots to its forth place finish. However, the team didn’t seem very pleased at its efforts. “There is no easy way of saying it,” Choi said. “We just couldn’t execute the shots and couldn’t play well overall as a team or as individuals.” Leading the way for the Pack individually was Choi and sophomore Mitchell Sutton who finished in a tie for seventh place and a tie for thirteenth place. Detweiler, junior Mark McMillen and junior Chad Day rounded out the Pack’s team as they finished tied for 19th, tied for 27th and 68th, respectively. Day’s final standing was worse than it actually looked as the junior was disqualified from the first round after he signed his score card incorrectly. Sykes said the error was unfortunate, but knew there was nothing that could be done about it. “He didn’t notice it and I
