CALS SCHOLARSHIP FORMS DUE MAY 1

ow well do YOU know the candidates? With student body elections one day away, look no further for information about the six student body president candidates, the three student senate president candidates, the two UAB president candidates and the Chief Justice candidate. All candidates were asked the following questions and listed below are their responses. You decide.

STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT

For CALS students that would like to be considered for scholarships from the College for the 2011-2012 academic year must complete and submit the College’s online scholarship application. Students who are currently receiving scholarships from CALS must also submit a scholarship application to be considered for renewal. In order to make the process easier, if one completed an application for the 20102011 academic year, it will be available for updating. However, students must access the scholarship application, review and make changes as needed online, then submit it officially for the 2011-12 academic year. If students do not resubmit their application for the 2011-2012 academic year before May 1, their application will not be reviewed for scholarship consideration.

Why do you think you are most qualified? Ethan Bartlett

Alex Compton

Did not respond by deadline. See online for response.

I believe I am most qualified because I have been involved with a number of groups/organizations during my time on campus, which has given me insight into student needs. I will continue to stay in touch with students’ issues.

junior, management

junior, biological sciences

Alex Grindstaff junior, biological sciences I have a general concern about students and the need to accurately represent them. After working with Student Government for almost two years now, on the executive and legislative branch, I have seen what it has done and what it hasn’t done for the students. I believe there can be large improvements in how Student Government operates, and have students more involved so we get proper feedback.

For students interested in a career or job in non-profits, come hear from nonprofit professionals who work at a local, national and international-level to achieve their vision at the the Non-Proft Careers Dinner. The staff of Stop Hunger Now will talk about what it’s like to work in a non-profit organization. Participants will also learn about the non-profit minor offered by N.C. State.

This event is sponsored by the CSLEPS Leadership In Action student Philanthropy Committee. Registration is required.

I care about N.C. State University. I have been involved in various groups on campus. I interned in the office of finance and business here at State, which gave me a great opportunity to see how things worked within the university. I’ve held other leadership positions in other clubs and organizations. Experience and involvement make me a qualified candidate for student body president. Chandler Thompson senior, economics I think I am most qualified because of my passion for N.C. State that will keep me dedicated during my tenure. I have Student Government experience, but also experience across many areas of campus life. I have tangible solutions to improve the student experience and back up my platform ideas.

POSTCARD SECRET EVENT HELPS STUDENTS SHARE STORIES

junior, biochemistry

The Women’s Center is displaying secrets dealing with sexual violence and assault on April 12 from 5 to 8 p.m. in Caldwell Lounge. The Women’s Center is accepting anonymous secrets for the display. The goal of the Women’s Center is that the postcards will serve as inspiration “to those who read them, have healing powers for those who write them, give hope to people who identify with a stranger’s secret and create an anonymous community of acceptance.” SOURCE: THE WOMEN’S CENTER

I am qualified for this position because the duty of the Student Body President is to be the voice for the students. I have had a lot of personal experiences with many different students at this university, across different majors and colleges, and I believe that it is time for the opinions of the students to be heard and executed upon by the administration.

The Mathews Medal has been given out to students since 2006 and twenty-one students have received the award since. The Mathews Medal is always given to graduating seniors who have displayed a legacy of service at the University by the Alumni Association. The selection process is extremely intensive and it is considered to be the highest non-academic honor at the University. Justin Boucher, Kristy Craig, Jeffrey Johnson and Marycobb Randall were the students honored at this year’s ceremony. “These students have defined leadership at N.C. State for their generation,” Tony Caravano, a former University student body president, said. Chancellor Randy Woodsen made an appearance at the event. He spoke about the students who were receiving the award and why service to the University is so important. “Students gain so much through the experiences they have on campus,” Woodsen said.

VOTER’S GUIDE continued from page 1

Alex Compton 2) I want to bridge the gap between Main and Centennial Campus, create a centralized calendar for campus events, help student groups to publicize better and continue sustainability projects. 3) I would like to see a centralized place of celebration where students can go and hangout after a win to build community. 4) BIO 181 with Dr. Ferzli. Chandler Thompson 2) The top five things on my platform include longer tailgating hours, a 4th meal on campus, a central calendar, improved advising, and a sustainability culture change. There is more on my website vote4chandler.com. 3) This is one of my passions, I have dedicated my first 3 years to promoting traditions on campus, if I could create just one new tradition it would be a “flash rave” every semester to give students a chance to relieve stress and come together as one Wolfpack and have fun!

QUESTIONS ASKED OF CANDIDATES:

1) Why do you think you are most qualified? 2) Briefly describe your main platform. 3) If you could start a tradition at N.C. State, what would it be? 4) What is your favorite class you’ve taken at N.C. State?

Alex Grindstaff

Leo Verceles-Zara

2) My main reason for running is that Student Government needs to have a more effective role in working with the Board of Trustees and the Board of Governors. They need to know what students want, and the students need to know what they’re up to. As the largest land grant university, there are over 34,000 people here that each have a voice, and I think it is imperative that they be properly represented. The General Assembly needs to know what students want, and Student Government must be that conductor. Whoever gets elected needs to address this void, and actually be the voice of N.C. State.

2) SWAG: Service, Wolfpack, Awareness, Green/ Sustainability (This can be followed up more in-depth at leoforsbp.com).

3) I think it would be interesting to have something like the Olympic games, on a much smaller scale between the colleges and campuses, for a daylong event. We could raise money as well. 4) My favorite class was D100 with the Dean of the College of Design, Marvin Malecha. Everything he said had emphasis and meaning behind it, and it opened my eyes as a biological science and major.

4) Intro to Film ENG 282Q. I think Q courses are important to the freshman experience and I really enjoyed this one. We were in small groups, and while my group put together a video I became close friends with all the members.

3) A tradition that I could start might be an annual WESAcat (organized by WESA). It was something that started this year, but it was pretty successful. It’s an informal bike race, like a scavenger hunt. 4) My favorite class has got to be a tie between PSY311 with Dr. Nacoste and MA131 with Dr. Martin.

Maxwell Kangkolo 2) My platforms are broken down into Pack Priorities. They are making red green, campus wide calendar, more campus wide events, fixing our transit system, and expanding our wolfpack discount program. 3) The tradition I’d like to start is the Running of the Red day which means every Friday before football games students should be dressed in nothing but NC State gear. This is a great way to promote school spirit and show support to the athletics program. 4) My favorite class is business ethics with Dr. Washington.

STUDENT SENATE PRESIDENT

1) The Senate President needs to be able to unite the Senate so that they may be an effective voice for the students. Patrick The Senate Devore President must senior, also be able to meteorology work with the Student Body President in order to promote the effectiveness of Student Government. They also need to know how to handle serving on the University Tuition Committee and University Fee Committee. As the current Chair of the Senate’s Tuition and Fees Committee, I am already well prepared to take on those roles and be an effective conduit of the will of the students. 2) More open communication between the Senate and the Student Body. More communication between the University Administration/Deans and the Student Body. Better representation of the Student Body and the University Tuition and University Fees Committees. 3) An annual walk down Hillsborogh to the General Assembly to let the state government know that we are a involved group in the local community and should be taken seriously

Scott Goldsmith

junior, political science and philosophy

1) Senator for two years, served on Fee Review Community, Served on Appropriations Committee for two years, served on Tuition and Fees Committee, Chair Senate Academics

Committee 2) The job of the Student Senate President isn’t to advance any particular policy perspective. It is the Senate President who functions as a resource for the other 64 elected senators and guides them. The Senate President must be an individual that is well respected by their colleagues to ensure they can unite the body and accomplish the will of the student body. 3) While we have a long history of traditions, I believe the most important tradition for any college to have and/or improve upon is to continuously increase its graduation rates and job placement. If we can consistently have our graduates placed into more prestigious and better paying jobs, especially given the current economic climate, all NC State alum and current students would benefit. 4) Bowling.

4) MEA 214 (Fundamentals of Meteorology II) with Dr. Lackmann or ENG 208 (Intro to Shakespeare) with Dr. Shaw

1) I am qualified because I have been in Student Government advocating for students every year I’ve been here. I am the Ethan Student Senate Harrelson President Pro senior, biological Tempore more sciences commonly known as the Vice President of the Senate. As VP, I’ve gotten practice at leading the senate, the primary job of the Student Senate President. This year, I was fortunate enough to be the chair of the Appropriations Committee where I heard requests from over 300 groups, so I’ve gotten insight on a lot of issues and learned a lot about what students are doing. 2) My platform focuses on uniting the student body. One of the functions of Student Government is helping fund student initiatives on campus. I also want to start a late night meal option and use Moodle to give students direct access to student leaders. Finally, I want to make senate meetings open to students by having them in a public place. Finally, as the Cochair of the fees committee, I will keep fees as low as possible and hold departments accountable to the fees they request. 3) I would want to start a new event on campus to feature student music groups, dance groups, etc. 4) COM 466 Nonprofit Leadership and Development with Mindy Sopher.

STUDENT CHIEF JUSTICE 1) I believe I am most qualified for this position based on my experience on the Student Conduct Board, my passion for our university’s high ideals, and the confidence I have in the standards to which we hold our students through the Code of Student Conduct.

UAB PRESIDENT 1) I am most qualified to be the UAB President because I have been apart of the UAB for the past three years in addition to holding other leadership positions at N.C. State. junior, computer Through these positions, I have learned how and when to be a follower, how to manage time, delegate tasks, build a trust between my subordinates, how to work on a team, science how to communicate well with others, as well as how to plan ahead.

2) As Student Chief Justice, I would like to help educate the student body about the Board’s process and the expectations the university has for its students.

Khalia Braswell

2) As President of the Union Activities Board, I hope to continue bringing quality programs to the students of N.C. State. I also hope to bring awareness of all UAB committees through creative advertising methods. I would also like to reach out for more corporate sponsorships so that we can have even bigger programs. 3) If I could start a tradition at State, it would be a bi-annual exam rave on the brickyard. (With plenty of security of course). 4) My favorite class at N.C. State has been CSC 116 - Introduction to Java. 1) I am the only candidate that has served both as a UAB chairperson as well as had experience on the UAB executive board. Further, I believe my track record of successful programming within the UAB proves that I will continue to meet the needs of students while expanding UAB’s impact.

Matthew Woodward junior, applied sociology

MONDAY, MARCH 28, 2011 • PAGE 3

2) If elected President, I will enhance UAB in three areas. First, I will seek to build and maintain strong partnerships with other organizations. If we work together with partners like Student Government to enhance traditions, such as Campout. Second, I will be innovative with budget practices. We generate over $400,000.00 in revenue mostly from student fees; I think it is important to have a president that is constantly thinking about the bigger vision and who strives toward increasing the organizational impact while being fiscally responsible. Finally, I believe strong recruitment of the executive and chair positions is essential.

3) I think it would be awesome to have an annual flash mob on campus. 4) Introduction to Forensic Anthropology with Dr. Ross.

gether. “With over $14 trillion in national debt, this is not a left or right issue,” Bryan said. “Getting people engaged in politics so that they start considering present issues is my goal with bringing Congressman Ron

Paul to campus.” However, Bryan said this event is not meant to simply thrust Paul’s ideals onto the student body, but rather to show students that such political discussion is both acceptable and necessary. “I believe the greatest benefit to the campus community is the opportunity this event

presents for opening a political dialog. I know that not everyone who attends this event will agree with Dr. Paul, or even like what he has to say,” Bryan said. “They will however, feel the need to express their own opinions. This is the spark that our generation needs to openly address issues that loom in our future.”

By 2016, the Nonprofit sector will need over 80,000 new leaders per year. Are you ready to step up to the plate?

{Our view}

We’re the Wolfpack, and we’ll keep it that way The Facts:

N.C. State has sent out a cease and desist letter to Loyola University on the further use of the Wolfpack as their mascot. N.C. State has trademark ownership of the term since 1983. Loyola’s newspaper, The Maroon, explained the action against their mascot wass unfair and unnecessary in their Friday editorial.

Our Opinion:

Our trademark rights obligate us by law to report the use of “the Wolfpack” by any other University, no matter what the size. To preserve our trademark rights to “the Wolfpack,” these actions are called for, and the two schools should come to a mutual agreement, without further action.

n Friday’s edition of Loyola University’s newspaper, The Maroon, the editorial topic reads “Fighting over mascot name unnecessary.” While the editorial seems to have accurate points, the truth of the matter is this action is necessary to prevent any future complications between our two schools. Trademark rights are meant to protect the name and symbol of any institution. Loyola and N.C. State should come to an agreement to clarify each others’ mascots and move past the issue to protect both schools. We are the Wolfpack and we’ll fight to keep it that way. At N.C. State we have an entire department devoted to the preservation of the Wolfpack name, and all the merchandising that comes with it. N.C. State received roughly

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.

$186 million from its Sales and Services, including merchandising of the N.C. State Wolfpack, nearly 15 percent of the total revenue budget in the 2010-2011 school year. If other universities begin to use the Wolfpack name as their own without clarifying the distinction, it could result in a decrease of these sales, which is the last thing we need at this University. While Loyola’s The Maroon discusses colleges that have encounter this same issue, what it neglects to mention is N.C. State, as the trademark owner of “the Wolfpack,” is bound by federal law to report and take action on any other univer-

sity which uses their name. If not, N.C. State could lose their rights, thus losing the ownership of the Wolfpack and the merchandising that comes with it—a $186 million loss. Loyola, a small private institution has no need for this type of revenue. The irony of a Jesuit school with a wolf named Havoc for their mascot seems to be a symbol they wouldn’t want associated with their school. This is not the first time N.C. State has had to deal with duplicate mascots. A year ago, the same letter was sent to the University of Nevada’s athletics department. The schools came to an agreement, because of the

nature Nevada used the mascot, and Nevada merely had to change their Wolfpack to the Nevada Wolfpack for clarification. The same result could come from this matter with Loyola and clear this up quickly. It shouldn’t be that hard. The two schools are currently in discussion of the necessary actions to move forward with this issue. As long as Loyola uses the mascot in a non-merchandising way and merely for a promotional event for their school the can keep their beloved Havoc the Wolf mascot. However, if they disagree, their Wolfpack could very well become extinct, because the Wolfpack of N.C. State is not afraid of going on the prowl.

I’ve been a member of Student Government for three years and discussed this job at length with Kelly Hook, the current Student Body President. I have the time and experience necessary to represent all students that go to N.C. State. My dad raised me to love N.C. State and care about this University’s sports teams, academic success and student life. My passion for this University will keep me dedicated to serving all year long. We need to promote what we do best and I will commit myself to highlighting the strengths of N.C. State. What differentiates me from the other five candidates is that I have done my research and produced detailed solutions and steps to back up my platform. With your support and help, we can bring the campus

community together as one unified Wolfpack. Traditions are a bridge and they will be used to connect our students to each other and this University. I’m committed to working hard to improve the student experience, which involves pushing for longer tailgating hours and dining on campus from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. We also need improved advising and a sustainability culture change. We may be “the red and white from State,” but we are all green at heart. Communication is going to be most important for this era of Student Government. I will use all avenues to communicate with the students while allowing the students the opportunity to communicate with me. This includes my Twitter, Facebook, blog posts on the Student Government website, monthly surveys and t he centra l calendar. This calendar will help every student organization to communicate with all students. Check out my website and st a r t communicating now through various feedback options. A strong team is important to me. I plan to have a cabinet that is diverse and accessible—and I am prepared to tackle every area of my platform. Lastly, I will advocate for students and student services during budget cut discussions. We need services, such as pre-law, to prepare our students for success after graduation. Vote Chandler for Student Body President and let’s work together to improve the N.C. State experience.

“What differentiates me from the other five candidates is that I have done my research.”

Do you think it matters that other universities have the Wolfpack as their mascot? Why or why not? by Aaron Andersen

Identity theft: Even mascots aren’t safe

“We are the Wolfpack.”

Wolfpack unite and take back the night

ational data tells us that over five hundred N.C. State women will experience a rape or attempted rape each acaOliva demic year, Desormeaux a n d t h a t Guest Columnist one in four women will be the survivor of a rape or attempted rape by the time they graduate from college. Additionally, national studies tell us that one in seven men will be sexually abused in their lifetime. Therefore, every person on our campus has a friend, classmate or suite-mate affected by sexual violence and yet the community is hardly aware of this situation. Take Back the Night has been held at N.C. State for over 20 years and raises awareness for sexual assault on college campuses. This event is hosted by The Movement peer educators, a group of male and female students who are dedicated to ending interpersonal violence. This year’s theme is “Wolfpack Unite, Take Back the Night”. At 5:45 p.m., Wednesday, impassioned students will march to Talley from the West Campus Amphitheater, the Honors Village and Greek Court. Once the crowd gathers behind Talley, the rally of-

ficially begins at 6:30 p.m. and combines speeches from campus leaders, survivors’ stories, campus and community resources, entertainment, a display of t-shirts painted by survivors and their loved ones a nd free food. Sexual violence is the result of a culture that promotes gender inequality and the expression of power and control. The only way to end sexual violence for good is to change this interpersonal violence-tolerant culture into an IPV-intolerant culture. The first step is awareness. Earlier this year, the “Wake Up, It’s Serious” campaign began after the most recent Free Expression Tunnel incident. “Wake Up, It’s Serious” focuses on racial intolerance and is working to educate N.C. State’s community about the realities of the current culture. The Movement has been using Take Back the Night as part of their educational and awareness approach to ending the tolerance of sexual violence. At LeaderShape last year, I was asked to write my vision for the change that I wished to make in the world. I wrote, Sexual assault is gone. Men

and women no longer worry about their bodies being violated. A woman can walk down a street at night without looking over her shoulder. She can go to the party with no worry of acquaintancerape. A man doesn’t have to be frightened of the possibility of his partner sexually assaulting him. Men and women do not worry about their basic right of consent. They can say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ and people listen. The road to my vision is not short or easy, but awareness events, like Take Back the Night will help guide our culture to the right pathway. We need the N.C. State community to pull together, Take Back the Night, and show that N.C. State will not stand for sexual violence.

“Sexual violence is the result of a culture that promotes gender inequality.”

Summer has not arrived yet, but one sorority is bringing fun in the sun indoors in the form of pool relay races, belly-flop contest, a bikini contest and more. Each year, Delta Gamma sorority hosts Anchor Splash, the largest single-day philanthropy event the University sees from any Greek organization, according to the sorority. Their philanthropy includes a variety of creative ways to raise donations for their cause, Service for Sight. Service for Sight was founded and is currently privately owned and operated by the sorority, whose main goal is to prevent blindness and contribute to those who have experienced sight loss. The fundraising event will take place Sunday, April 3, in Carmichael Gymnasium at the pools from 2-5 p.m. with an award ceremony afterward from 6-8 p.m. with BBQ for purchase and the band The Shakedown. Fifty percent of the profits go to Service for Sight and the other half goes to a local philanthropy, which this year is expected to be the Moorehead School for the Blind. This school is facing closure due to lack of funds — a $10 million deficit in total — and the hope is to help assuage the budget shortfall. Aside from monetary contributions, students can also participate in volunteering at the school on Mondays which garners extra credit in the event competitions, according to Alyssa Riddle, a junior in communication

Forensic lab aids research The forensic and anthropology labs, located in Park Shops, give students real-world experience. Stephen Behan Staff Writer

A county cleanup crew found human remains in Rocky Mount in February of 2009. Months later, the remains were in the N.C. State forensic anthropology lab in the process of being identified. Students, both graduate and undergraduate, helped in the investigation. The body was identified as Elizabeth Smallwood, the sixth victim of the Edgecombe County serial killer. Because of the real world experience for students, Popular Science magazine recognized the University’s forensic lab as one of the country’s “30 Most Awesome College Labs.” The lab, located in Park Shops, was established in 2009 as part of the renovations of Park Shops. It and three other labs were missing components of the Sociology and Anthropology department. Associate professor of anthropology James Wallace III said the labs were very effective. “The facilities came online a few years ago,” Wallace said. “We have one of the best programs in the southeast.” The department offers a Bachelor of Arts degree and Masters degree in anthropology, as well as a specialization in bio-archeology. Before the labs were built, associate professor Ann Ross said she needed to use other facilities. “I was collaborating with the Office of State Archeology,” Ross said. “I used to have to go downtown to my colleague’s, Dr. Oliver’s, lab.” Ross is an internationally renowned forensic anthropologist. She has worked in Bosnia, aiding in the identification of genocide victims from the Bosnian War. She has also helped to identify bodies of people killed during the reign of Augusto Pinochet in Chile and in Panama where she identified mass grave victims of Manuel Noriega. As a professor, Ross thinks student research is important. “I try to get [graduate students] to at least get out of here with a publication in a major

journal,” Ross said. However, it is not just graduate students that Ross involves in research. “I’ve had a lot of undergraduates assist with certain projects,” Ross said. “We have a comparative non-human collection, so I sometimes have students come in and help with processing of the remains if they have tissue on them, to get the bones.” The non-human collection is an ongoing study in coordination with the entomology department on bone decomposition using pigs. A facility near Lake Wheeler houses the experiments. “We do studies on time since death, post mortem interval, using pigs as proxies, where we leave pigs out to decompose and we look at the degradation of bone,” Ross said. Ross explained that pigs are a common animal used in place of humans for scientific research. “They are substitutes for human research because they have been found to be pretty similar in tissue and in fat,” she said. Ross specializes in finding the identity of skeletal remains. “Forensic anthropology has a specialty in hard tissue or bone,” Ross said. “A medical examiner’s specialty is in soft tissue. So, when you have a body that’s very decomposed to where you can’t tell who they are anymore, they need the help of an anthropologist because they are not experts in bone.” In determining identity, she looks at several key details. “We look at age of death, how tall they were, what population they’re from, or what ancestry, whether they’re male or female. We also look at if there are any diseases that show up on the bone,” Ross said. “We also help the medical examiner with determination of trauma. For example, we can identify a gunshot wound.” Shows like CSI may be entertaining, but they are not reality, according to Ross. “They are all Hollywood,” Ross said. “In CSI they have the entomologist that can do bone, that can solve the case in five minutes, when really it takes weeks — and it’s not glamorous.”

who made little splashes yet some tiny girls that made huge splashes. There really is a lot of skill and technique involved,” Sheridan said. “It was a great event. It is a lot of fun with a lot of student groups there, there is stuff to do there the entire time and it’s all for a great cause.” “It’s a great opportunity for everyone to get together and have a good time, and it is centered around a good purpose, and there is great power in that,” Riddle said. “Even if you are not a part of Greek life or your organization isn’t a part of any events, it is fun

to go and watch.” Maria Dimopoulos, a former mermaid, said that “everyone wished they were on Maria’s Mermaids, which was a combination of the soccer team and gymnastics team. Our team had the hottest bodies and looked the best in their leotards. It was fabulous.” Dakota Delk, a senior in civil engineering, said the best part of the event was watching the amusing events. “I buy a T-shirt every year to support the philanthropy and don’t miss any events,” Delk said. Lauren Henderson, a sophomore in biological sciences, participated as a coach last year. “It was great to get to know the other organizations and not just be around your own sorority,” Henderson said. “Practices were stressful, but the overall outcome was a great feeling and a great accomplishment to share with others I hadn’t known that well.” Anchor Splash has a history of attracting more students from the greater student body. Last year, some teams that participated were made up from ROTC, the varsity soccer team, gymnastics team and many other organizations.

Nelson acknowledged that not everyone on campus has a good opinion of fraternities. “A lot of people will down the Greek system here at N.C. State,” Nelson said, “but we’re trying to break those stereotypes.” Nelson said he wanted Sigma Phi Epsilon to go beyond being the best fraternity on campus. “We’re an all-around organization,” Nelson said. “We offer the best undergraduate experience outside of class. That’s where we’re trying to go. We’re already the best fraternity on campus with winning the Caldwell Cup. The challenge is now becoming the best cocurricular organization on campus.”

In the women’s 5,000-meter race, junior Andie Cozzarelli finished eigth at 16:44.38 and senior Kara McKenna took 11th place with a time of 17:04.54. Cozzarelli enjoyed the weather conditions Friday evening as she lead a group of racers in the 5,000 meter run behind post-collegiate runner Lauren Bonds of the adidas Raleigh Track Club who nearly beat the 19-year-old meet record in Section I of the 5,000 meters. After two miles Cozzarelli said she started to lose steam. “At first I didn’t think it was going to be too hard leading, but once I started to get tired, it was aggravating,” Cozzarelli said. “Pretty much I think my legs started to feel tired and I kind of started to give into the pain, but weather wise, the temperature was perfect.” Saturday was a different day for weather conditions however, and many athletes felt it was best to opt out of a few races in order to not injure themselves from the brisk weather. Sophomore Ben Major, however, did not opt out and won the 100 meters for the Wolfpack with a time of 10.66 seconds. Major also competed in the 4 X 100 meter and 4 X 400 meter relay squads, which finished fifth and seventh, respectively. But because of such damp weather, which dropped below 50 degrees, Major withdrew from the 200-meter dash.

With a narrow 5-3 lead, Overman entered the game in the eighth inning to shut the door on the Tigers and did just that. “They were lights-out,” Mazzoni said. “They came in and threw strikes. They kept the ball down in the zone and let the defense help them out.” Just like the frigid weather Sunday afternoon, the Pack’s bats were cold in the series’ rubber match. Starter Danny Healey ran into trouble in the second inning, where three doubles and an error by freshman Dylan Brown gave Clemson an early 3-0 lead. After Riggins drew a walk, centerfielder Brett Williams hit a triple over the head of Clemson’s Chris Epps, scoring Riggins to make it 3-1. In the following inning, Maynard smashed a two-out solo home run off

Coach Chris Coleman said he was pleased anyway.

“I’m really proud of him the way he jumped in this weather,” Coleman said. “He is my hardest worker; always coming to practice.” The Wolfpack will travel to Gainesville, FL on Friday for the Florida Relays.

But State’s bats cooled off quickly, as Clemson pitcher David Haselden recorded three straight 1-2-3 innings while striking out five Pack batters. Redshirt junior Grant Sasser was uncharacteristically erratic with his command, walking three batters on the way to giving up two runs (one earned). “He was making good pitches but just wasn’t getting the calls from the umpires,” Maynard said. “He was hitting his spots but just wasn’t getting called strikes.” After not committing a single error in the first two games, the Pack had two errors, which contributed greatly to the outcome of Sunday’s game and has in every loss this season, according to Williams. “When we’ve lost this year, it’s been because of the little things like defense,” Williams said. “Playing solid defense is really important and it showed today.” The Wolfpack will be back in action Tuesday as it travels to take on UNCGreensboro at 6 p.m.

Quote of the day “It’s a real plus for the community and for here at N.C. State.” Head Coach Rollie Geiger

Behind Mazzoni’s complete game shutout, State takes two of three from No. 15 Clemson.

“We got off to a tough start and had a chance to get back into the ACC race this weekend. It was very disappointing to lose [Sunday]. I thought it was a game we could have easily won. We made mistakes that did not have to be made and Tucker Frazier that’s what beat us.” Senior Staff Writer Having won four out of its last five Entering the weekend with only games, it’s clear the Pack is turning one conference win, the N.C.

A chilly event for track and field

State struggles in singles play, falls to Tigers

Paul Derr Track hosted thousands of athletes compete in N.C. State’s only home meet.

Impressive doubles performance not enough to hold off Clemson.

Rebecca Fiorentino Staff Writer

Just hours before the rain commenced on Saturday night, the Raleigh Relays wrapped up in what was the biggest and only home meet for the Wolfpack. As head coach Rollie Geiger watched the thousands of athletes, coaches and fans from around the country pile in and out of Paul Derr Track, he was pleased at how well the N.C. State community hosted this grand event. “We accomplished our goal of having athletes walk away from this facility and saying that N.C. State knows how to put a track and field meet on,” Geiger said. “This triangle meet not only generates interest to the community, but generates tax dollars to the city of Raleigh, such as athletes staying in hotels; it’s a real plus for the community and for here at N.C. State.” Friday began with a men’s discus throw of 160 feet and 3 inches by N.C. State freshmen Jule Rich who participated unattached. There were three N.C. State athletes who participated in the men’s long jump; junior Emmanuel Davis with a 23 feet, 6 inch jump at fourth place, redshirt senior Lamont Savage
