Poinsettias to spur breast cancer awareness The horticulture department has grown and tested a hybrid variety of pink poinsettias for breast cancer awareness month.

how hot it was then. Plus, heat gets trapped under the cloths, because we have to pull them over the plant at 5 p.m. when the sun is still very strong. The high temperatures often prevent plants from flowering normally at that time. In fact of the three varieties that we tested, only one tolerated the high temperatures and flowered normally. Luckily, it was the cultivar with the brightest pink color almost f luorescent pink,” Dole said. Dole said students can buy them as they are easy to care for. “[Pink Poinsettias] are easy to care for and could last for months if watered as with any normal houseplant. Bright light is good as long as the plants don’t get too hot,” Dole said. Willysha Jenkins, a senior in animal science, said she hopes some of the proceeds from selling the flowers go toward raising breast cancer awareness. “Poinsettias are usually associated with Christmas. It is great to know that N.C. State can grow pink poinsettias. It is such a unique idea. Genetic engineering is awesome, who knows what other colors they can come up with next,” Jenkins said. “The horticulture de-

MBA students give back at Pullen Park A group of the University’s MBA students completed a service project in Pullen Park Friday afternoon. Elise Heglar Staff Writer

For a group of twenty students participating in the MBA program, this Friday was a day for giving back. The group gathered in Pullen Park to complete a service project for the park. The project was the brainchild of Ben Mathew, Bob Flynn, Meghan Howard and Zach Tinkler. “The whole idea behind this was just to start a service project with some first year MBA students and help volunteer,” Mathew said. Pullen Park has been undergoing renovation work for the past year and a half. Since funding is low, some of the work is dependent on volunteers. The MBA students involved painted railings in the

park to help with the renovations. “A group of students were talking about how we want to get more involved and give back,” Mathew said. The main goal of this project was to give back to the community, according to Matthew. The students worked with Pullen Park officials to pull the project together. This volunteer opportunity was done with the help of the MBA Student Association. “We took some initiative and spoke to the current president, and they were thrilled to have involvement. Our big goal is to get the name of the MBA program out there in a positive way,” Mathew said. This project will likely not be the last of its kind, according to Mathew. Tentative plans for a new project next month are already in the works. “We are trying to coordinate something for next month, although I don’t know what that is yet. We talked about maybe

working on the Rose garden,” Mathew said. The students worked for three hours and finished all of the painting on the bridge railings. Food was provided for the students as they worked. “I think we actually got more done than they were expecting us to,” Mathew said. According to Matthew, members of the MBASA seem to be very conscious of giving back to the community. The initiative to start this project was purely student driven, Matthew said. Pullen Park officials are constantly looking for volunteers to help with the renovation, and the MBASA seems to want to give them just that. “It’s a good way to get to know the community and to give back. We want to start building this program in a big way and volunteering is a good way for us to do that,” Mathew said. There are a total of 405 part time and full time students

Haunting tales of Holladay Hall: Myth or Reality? Whether Holladay Hall is haunted or not depends on personal beliefs and experiences. Kali Mallory Staff Writer

Holladay Hall is one of the places on campus with a haunting story. It was believed to be built on top of a graveyard and an 1889 fire was thought to be caused by the spirits from the graveyard. Students have been exposed to such stories about other places on campus, but whether these stories are accepted are up to the individual. E. Clifton Williams, Office of General Counsel and University Records officer, said he doesn’t believe the building is haunted, but the paintings have seemed to change. “There has been no

mysterious activity. But, from time to time, I have had to enter the building late at night, and thought the eyes of the large paintings on the main floor seem to have changed their point of focus. But, it was probably just the difference in lighting from day to night.” Greer Dillard, a junior in social work, said the building is spooky at night. “The building seems spooky only at night when it’s less populated on campus,” Dillard said. Thomas Stafford, director of Student Affairs, said he does not think Holladay Hall is haunted, but other factors make it spooky. “I guess it depends on who you talk to because I don’t consider it to be haunted. I hear stories about people seeing ghost or it being built on top of a graveyard”, Stafford said. “However, up until 15 years ago the top floor of the building was used as storage. It had wooden, squeaky f loors, it was dusty and a little spooky, but I never saw or heard everything. But now, it has been remodeled and it looks very nice.” Each year, the New Student

Orientation introduces haunting tales of Holladay Hall through the evening portion of its N.C. State History Tour, according to Gabe Wical, director of New Student Orientation. “The primary purpose of the tour is to provide incoming students with a different angle on N.C. State’s campus apart from just geography, landmarks, where classes are located, etc. Since Holladay Hall was the first building and has at least one interesting story associated with it, we include it as part of our tour.” Stafford said the stories about Holladay Hall enhance campus life for those interested in those kinds of stories. “It depends on your point of view whether these stories enhance student life. For the people that think it’s important to have stories like that, it probably does enhance campus life overall. Anyone can make

up a stor y; that’s probably how these stories got made. Someone makes up a story and it gets passed down.” Shykelia Owens, a sophomore in social work, said the stories are custom to the University. “I think it’s part of tradition, like a legend.” Wical said the campus history tour is not intended to be scary,

but rather to interest students with myths and educate them about the campus. “The intention of the tour is to provide a combination of interesting facts and myths. I think most students find the tour interesting, even if they don’t find it scary or spooky. If students anticipate a tour that is actually going to be actually scary, then they are probably disappointed,” Wical said. Increasing interaction between new students is another reason for the story telling, Wical said. “We try to keep the tour

informative and fun and one more opportunity for students to meet other students and learn more about the campus.” Owens said the tour consists of these stories as a way to alarm students. “I think the stories are part of a hoax that they are saying to scare us.” The stories about Holladay Hall could be traced back to the early days of the University when students lived in the building, according to Stafford. “Holladay hall is the oldest building of campus. In the early years, students lived on [the] top two floors. The first floor was where the offices and classes were, and the gym and infirmary were on lower level. People could have told stories

the first years, especially when the student lived here. My office has been in this building for 27 years and I haven’t heard anything that consists with it being haunted.” Dillard said these stories are important to the University. “The myths give a sense of living history.” According to Williams, there are interesting carvings from former residents of the building from its earlier years. “I don’t think it is haunted. However, as a lover of history, it really is interesting to see the names [and] initials of former students etched into the window sills of third floor,” Williams said. “It’s sort of like a message from a by-gone age.”

{OUR VIEW}

Remaining student-focused to move forward THE FACTS:

Chancellor Randy Woodson will be officially installed on Tuesday. The chancellor has already enacted a tuition increase, hired a new athletic director, initiated a search for a new provost, and started planning for the University’s long-term plan, to name a few.

OUR OPINION:

Chancellor Woodson’s performance has been good overall. He has remained transparent and willing to work with students. However, he should always remain focused on being a student-oriented chancellor.

ince taking office in April, Chancellor Randy Woodson has been busy. Besides being on the fast track to get accustomed to the University and its constituents, Woodson has made some large overhauls to the administration. While some of these changes have been arguably good and bad, his should always be a studentoriented chancellor. The swift tuition increase decision was definitely unfavorable to students, and certainly dampened their feelings towards the chancellor. He has a long way to go to regain students’ trust. There are more tuition changes in the future and the chancellor should be as transparent with these as he has with many of his affairs. The way to success with students is to relate to them.

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.

If they know the chancellor knows them and trusts them, students will be more likely to trust him and be more willing to give feedback and contribute. Woodson should make himself more visible to the student body, whether it is walking across the Brickyard during lunchtime or checking out the Farmers Market on Wednesdays. The strategic town hall meetings have been a great idea to increase transparency in regard to the tuition and fees increases. However, students claim better advertising for the strategic town hall meeting events where the University is seeking input would increase

attendance and show students the chancellor does care to hear what they have to say. This goes hand-in-hand with relating back to students. Although the chancellor has defended the decision to move the Division of Student Affairs beneath the provost, many students took this as a slight. However, since this is the reality, the chancellor needs to stay aware of students’ needs and remain receptive to them. Students’ main focus while in college is academics, however there is much more than academics that affect their experience and these concerns ultimately end up in Student Affairs. Overall, the chancellor’s per-

formance has been good, but not impressive. The tuition increase and moving Student Affairs under the provost was less than desirable for students, but the chancellor has remained open and friendly to them. His focus has been on students and the future of the University. Ultimately, the chancellor’s job is to represent the University and, by doing that, make those who are affiliated with the University proud to represent it. As he remains focused on students, the chancellor will be successful.

Keep your plastic in your pocket If you have been keeping up with the news during the last three or so years, the term “fiscal responsibility” has shown up in the media excessively. The economic status of the United States has everyone wondering what the best policy is for t he cou nt r y and in what direction we Chad need to go. Rhoades It is unlikely Senior Staff the market can Columnist go completely unchecked. A completely unchecked market leaves a lot of room for corruption from individuals and corporations alike. On the other hand, the people simply do not trust the government anymore. Its reputation of being corrupt is more prevalent now than ever. It is also very apparent the government does not spend money efficiently on socia l programs. Citizens are looking at more government spending, but rarely see the benefits they expect f rom t hese schemes. So where does the country go from here? I can’t say I have an answer for the economic tribulations the United States faces today. The economy is a very complex subject, and how the government chooses to use taxpayer money and how much to tax certain individuals is just as complicated. The capitalist society that we live in leaves individuals with a great amount of responsibility. Before we can expect to have fiscal responsibility from our government, we must first exhibit it on an individual level. A major problem with the United States today is credit card debt. According to the Federal Reserve’s Oct. 7, 2010, G.19 Consumer Credit report, the country’s credit card debt is $822.2 billion in debt. According to the Federal Reserve’s March 2010, G.19 Consumer Credit report, the average household’s credit card debt is $15,788. This is a clear example that people in the United States

live well beyond their means. We take a lot of things for granted. Many Americans have a false sense of entitlement that makes them believe they can spend money they don’t have and somehow expect there to be no consequences. It is very important for college students to avoid credit card debt. Since I turned 18, I have been bombarded with credit card offers. Credit cards can serve their purpose as long as the person has the ability to pay them off. Credit cards that are offered to people our age have ridiculous interest rates. They are tempting, but they are trouble. Many students are forced to take out college loans to pay for school. It is very expensive, but it will be even more expensive when they realize they must pay for their loans and their credit card bills at the same time. Credit card bills will have to be paid off with more credit cards. It is a vicious cycle. It is important we don’t m a ke r a s h economic decisions without evaluating their long-term effects. Unfortunately, many pe ople a re learning these lessons the hard way. It is easy to want to live beyond your means in this ever-growing materialistic society; however, it will be much more beneficial to be smart and responsible now than pay a lot more in the future.

“It is very important for college students to avoid credit card debt.”

After the show, those in attendance applauded the efforts of those who put the event together, calling it a great success. Tayyaba Rayyast, a junior in biological sciences, was in attendance throughout the entire duration of the event and was intrigued by all the presenta-

tions. “At first, I thought the show would not be too organized because the theme was so broad, but now that I look back on it, I think the theme was the best decision they made. It was really interesting and fun to hear the perspectives people had on a wide array of topics,” Rayyast said.

Tri-Towers to host Fall Fest Free food, contests and socializing epitomize Fall Fest, a small-scale carnival hosted by Carroll, Bowen and Metcalf Residence Halls. Brooke Shafranek Staff Writer

The leaves are falling, the wind is brisk and Halloween is right around the corner. Autumn has finally arrived, just in time for the spookiest night of the year. Fall Fest, hosted by the Tri-Towers, is one way to get the season started. Wednesday, Oct. 27, the small-scale carnival will take over Central Campus from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and will host a variety of activities, from eating contests to T-shirt creations. Each Tri-Tower — Carroll, Bowen and Metcalf — has developed their own activities for the celebration. Josue Terrones, a sophomore in biochemistry and president of Carroll Residence Hall, said the residence hall will be hosting a buffalo wing-eating contest, and much more is to be expected from all the TriTowers. There will also be a plethora of free food available for attendees. The annual event is aimed at the Tri-Tower community to create a sense of unity and belonging amongst the residents of the three residence halls. However, all students are welcome to attend. Terrones said people at Fall Fest can expect to have a good time through entertainment and free food. “It’s evident it has had a strong success in the past since all food has run out as well as the items. This year the free food will be back and we will have from hot dogs, to burgers, to what I believe are the best — the funnel cakes.” Despite Oct. 31 swiftly approaching, Terrones said Fall Fest is not related to Halloween. “For Halloween each hall tends to have their own gettogether.

But, I think that was one of the biggest reasons why I enjoyed the event,” Raina said. “Everyone was so open-minded and professional in the audience and I think the event owes a large part of their success to that fact alone.” TEDxNCSU was presented by the College of Engineering and the Office of Sustainability. It was also sponsored in a large

part by Bayer Crop Science and CREE. Further, the presenters of the event thanked the College of Design and the Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Program for lending their expertise to the event.

“Fall Fest is a ton of fun. It’s awesome to see everyone having a good time,” Love said. “I’m glad that it’s later in the month this year, otherwise it would have been too hot outside to really enjoy it.” Nicholas Bray, a freshman in computer science, said the event will be a great chance to meet new people. “It’s always nice to make friends with your neighbors and the people who live close by because it’s easiest to hang out, and since Fall Fest is mainly for the Tri-Towers I hope that that will happen.” Bray also said he

Allison Casey, another participant dressed as a protestor for zombie rights, saw the event as something anyone can enjoy. “This whole thing is just really fun,” Casey said. “It brings the community together in a silly, but great way.” Overall, participants said the night was simply about getting together with like-minded in-

thought it was a creative way to further a cause, and that’s why I donated,” Dorgham said. “I plan on attending other SSA events that benefit Nishkam Seva, as well.” SSA President Tiffany Saini elaborated on the role of Nishkam Seva in India and SSA’s attempt at uniting the N.C. State community. “Most people have seen Slumdog Millionaire and that’s exactly what goes on in India. The orphans and underprivileged are taken hostage by a gang and are made to beg for money — money that they have to give back to their bosses,” Saini said. “To some extent, it’s basically a Mafia and it’s our responsibility as privileged members of the international community to come together and end this sort of injustice that our country and moral principles speak against.” Saini said no one knows about these facts until SSA inform others, which is why they hold events in the Brickyard. “The Langar was a good idea, I think, because it is a part of our culture and religion. And on top of that, it attracts a lot of people to the stall, which made our job a lot easier,” Saini said. SSA also helps a fraternity on campus to host a Bhangra competition, known as Versa Punjab Da, every winter. Proceeds from that event benefit organizations like Nishkam Seva.

The Hokies grabbed the lead with a service ace on the ensuing point and held the lead for the remainder of the set to seal the victory. “We just have to be more consistent with our energy,” Salata said. “We’ll get really hyped up and then someone will make an error of some type and it affects the whole team. We have to figure out a way not to let it get us down. We have to act like we’re winning even when we’re not. “ Despite the loss, Wood was able to stand out with a great performance for the Wolfpack. She broke her previous season high in digs with 21 for the match, extending her team lead to 271 for the season. “It’s my season high,” Wood said. “It doesn’t matter who does what, who gets what, who plays the ball up, who plays they’re best.

Looking to put an end to its six-game losing streak, missed scoring opportunities highlighted the N.C. State women’s soccer team’s 2-0 loss to Duke. The Pack could not overcome an early goal by the Blue Devils’ Nicole Lipp, who put a 27-yard free kick into the back of the net in the 19th minute of the contest. Despite being out-shot 7-2 in the first half, the team battled to keep the score 1-0 as halftime approached. Wolfpack keeper Kim Kern made three saves in the first half, helping to preserve a one-goal deficit. Junior Kristina Argiroff watched her header sail just wide of the right post in the 48th minute. Following the Pack’s missed scoring opportunity, the Blue Devils’ Laura Weinberg took advantage, scoring her ninth goal of the season in the 53rd minute to give Duke a 2-0 lead. In all, Duke held a 14-5 shot advantage and a 6-2 lead in corner kicks over the Pack. The loss drops the Wolfpack’s record to 7-10 overall and 1-7 in the ACC, second-worst in the conference. The team will look to turn things around as it wraps up the regular season schedule with trips to Virginia and Virginia Tech on Thursday and Sunday, respectively.

“The competition in practice is probably the biggest reason we had a solid fall.”
