AWARM WELCOME Purdue provost selected as new chancellor after months of searching

tim o’brien/Technician

William Woodson, chancellor-elect, and Jim Ceresnak, Student Body President, chat at a reception held in the Dorothy and Roy Park Alumni Center Friday evening, Jan. 8, after Woodson was officially accepted as the new chancellor by the UNC Board of Governors that morning. Woodson is currently the provost at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana.

Reception for Woodson brings optimism to University, community 14th chancellor in University history celebrated shortly after announcement Caroline Barfield Staff Writer

Friday was a momentous day for the University as the Board of Governors, the governing body of the UNC System, announced Randy Woodson as the next chancellor. A reception at the Dorothy and Roy Park Alumni Center followed the announcement, where University and local figures turned out to welcome Woodson. “I cannot wait to be part of the Wolfpack family and hope to be part of N.C. State for a long time,” Woodson said. “My commitment to N.C. State is to use leadership to make the University

world class, to enhance our reputation and the impact that N.C. State has on the state of North Carolina. To learn the institution, traditions and culture in a reasonable and thoughtful way.” He also said he was impressed with the job interim Chancellor Jim Woodward has done since former Chancelllor James Oblinger resigned under fire concerning his involvement with the Mary Easley hiring. Woodson said the University can count on his mind being focused on N.C. State and that he and his family were grateful to be part of the Wolfpack nation. Many that attended the reception were also glad he is now part of the Wolfpack family. Woodward said he is extremely pleased with the BOG’s pick and thinks Woodson is a perfect match for N.C. State. “Randy Woodson is a genuinely nice person, he has a lovely

family and I believe the students will love him,” he said. “He will provide educational opportunities for the students and overall, I am very pleased.” Stephanie Hlavin, director of Creative Services, said she is optimistic of the University’s future with Woodson. “He seems very rigorous and the University is ready for some stability. He appears to be a great follow-up to Woodward.” She also said Woodson will need to assure the University he’s here to stay more than anything else. “He needs to start locally and get to know the University with a clear perspective. What the University really needs is for him to be up front and let us know his plans and thoughts and to reassure everyone that he is here to stay,” she said.

Students camping out for Carolina basketball tickets braved the cold Friday night as Campout began. Participants were guaranteed tickets to the game if they met the appropriate requirements. Tents filled the Jeter Bay parking lot and lined the mulch-side of Dunn Avenue. The return to Reynolds was a result of word-of-mouth to move it, according to Arialle Crabtree, the senator in charge of Campout. Student Government looked into the history of Reynolds and its importance to both the school and the basketball program. Ethan Dellinger, a junior in political science, said he wished Campout was held on Miller Fields. “I hate it; it’s too crowded and I wish it was on the intramural fields. This strip is too cramped and there isn’t a lot of room to have fun and play some football and pick-up games,” he said. Crabtree said managers of Miller Fields would have issues with hold-

ing Campout on Miller Fields. “The main issue is the tents have to go on the grass, and the administration of Miller Fields have an issue with campsites being on the grass and messing it up. It’s not to say it’s impossible but at this point it would be hard to arrange,” she said.

Bennet Rouse, a junior in chemical engineering, said Campout was much more fun in the current location. “There were places to warm up, grab some pizza, and overall I had a lot of fun,” he said. In coordination with UAB and Campus Recreation, Student Gov-

ernment had many options for entertainment. UAB had a viewing of “The Hangover” on the lawn outside Talley, as well as Papa John’s pizza and Krispy Kreme. The group Alternate Spring Break took donations as they provided campers with hot chocolate and other snacks. Taylor Edmonds, a sophomore in environmental science, said she liked having Campout by Reynolds because of the increase in food options. “Last year all we had was the Bragaw C-Store so this year it’s much better with pizza and hot chocolate and chips and other stuff,” she said. Student Body President Jim Ceresnak said this year’s Campout was much improved from past years.

{OUR VIEW}

THE FACTS:

The University named William “Randy” Woodson, executive vice president for academic affairs and provost at Purdue University, to be the new chancellor Jan. 8. after several months of a closed search.

OUR OPINION:

If Chancellor-elect Woodson wants to strengthen the University and repair its tarnished image, transparency must be his top priority.

Let the sunshine in

he search for the new chancellor has ended, as William “Randy” Woodson, executive vice president for academic affairs and provost at Purdue University, accepted the nomination for the position. Yet despite all the excitement about having a new chancellor, it’s easy to overlook the fact that this search was conducted behind closed doors. Given the fact that James Oblinger, the previous chancellor, resigned amidst a storm of scandals, hidden e-mails and backroom deals, transparency is something the University desperately needed. And while interim Chancellor Jim Woodward has been a welcome breath of fresh air in terms of transparency and

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.

communication, the search for a permanent chancellor was an unfortunate and unacceptable display of secrecy. Particularly in light of the Mary Easley scandal and the wave of resignations, transparency should remain the number one requirement for the new chancellor. Despite the chancellor search being conducted with little to no communication with the very students and faculty the position affects, the top priority of the chancellor should be throwing open the doors and keeping everyone — students, faculty, alumni and business partners — informed about the state of

N.C. State and the operations of the University. Students want a chancellor who is honest and keeps students informed — there’s nothing worse than hearing about a new fee increase from a chancellor than having such an increase without any rationale or explanation of the benefits the fees will bring. Nor do students want to hear about spouses of former governors receiving cushy jobs at the University with a hefty paycheck without hearing about exactly what this person will actually do to improve the University. The new chancellor can learn from the mistakes of the previ-

ous administration or he can repeat them. If Chancellorelect Woodson wants to live up to his reputation of being an out-and-about administrator and repair some of the damage to the University’s reputation, he should endeavor to be out on the campus and building bridges with students and faculty, not barriers. Let’s hope the search for the University’s 14th chancellor leads to many happy and productive years — it all depends on how much Woodson values open, honest communication with the people who attend and work at our outstanding academic institution.

{

Welcome to the melee

i l l i a m “R a nd y ” Woodson is a fast mover. In a world of academia where dinosaurs rule, Woodson only took 25 years to climb the ladder and reach the ultimate in scholastic power. At only 52 years old, it’s relatively logical to assume the man Russell w i l l bring Witham some life and Viewpoint Editor enthusiasm to a University in desperate need of levity. Since his beginning at Purdue in 1985 as an instructor in horticulture, Randy Woodson, the executive vice president for academic affairs and provost at Purdue University, has had an eye for the top. He climbed his way through the layer cake at Purdue — becoming the associate dean and dean of the agriculture school along the way — until he took the position of provost a few years ago. Mikel Livingston, editor-inchief emeritus of The Exponent, Purdue’s student daily, said Woodson knew his career was br ig ht a nd wasn’t afraid to let people know about it. According to Livingston, many faculty members and administrators at Purdue saw promise in Woodson and were confident he w ou l d b e come president when Purdue’s current president’s term expired in a few years. This theory is validated rather nicely by the reports that the Board of Trustees at Purdue made a substantial monetary offer to keep him at the university despite its freeze on administrative and faculty salaries. Those salary freezes sound rather familiar, don’t they? In fact, Purdue is similar to N.C. State in myriad ways. Both schools are land-grant colleges under the Morrill Act of 1862 and have a strong foundation in agriculture and engineering. Woodson seems like a logical fit then. The disciplines and atmosphere will remain the same, but Woodson is walking into a different animal. Purdue experienced bud-

get cuts of 2 to 3 percent for this academic year. Not that those cuts aren’t substantive, but NCSU’s budget reduction target for this year was 10 percent. Woodson and Purdue’s President France Cordova were able to trim along the edges and prevent cuts from the university’s academic units. Zoe Hayes, editor-in-chief of The Exponent, said “Randy” had been a very effective administrator and had insured the brunt force of Purdue’s budget cuts were felt by the administrative units. This isn’t meant to criticize NCSU; Chancellor Jim Woodward had a nearly impossible job this semester in making our own cuts. He had to make cuts to the academic units, including a 3 percent reduction in instructional capacity. But it is nice to see Woodson seems to have a grasp for the importance of the academia at a university. Liv ingston said facu lt y members at NCSU should be excited by this news. Woodson’s research background is very strong and he is known as a “very personable” guy who has an elephant’s memory for names. Nonetheless, Woodson and Cordova were embroiled in their own controversy at Purdue this past semester when the university attempted to increase freshman tuition by 11.5 percent and became very reserved after an inquiry into administrative salary discussions among an Indiana state senator, Woodson and Cordova. The chancellor’s job at NCSU is a difficult one. If Woodson wants to be effective he needs to heed to an air of openness and honesty while reining in adminexpansionitis and steering the University through these difficult times. Welcome to the melee, Mr. Woodson. Tread carefully.

New resolutions for a new year

t’s a new year. 2010 is finally here! On New Year’s Eve we said goodbye to the tumultuous year that was 2009 and happily welcomed 2010 with open arms. At times, New Year’s Day is anticipated a bit more than Marlena ChristWilson mas. The Staff Columnist Christmas holiday values ref lection and appreciation, but New Year’s is a time for fresh starts and new beginnings. Along with the new year comes the ever-popular New Year’s resolutions. There is a lot of talk surrounding this New Year’s tradition. Some sources say New Year’s resolutions never work, and others say it’s healthy to at least try to begin a healthy life change. Either way, it is a personal choice as to whether or not to continue making these resolutions. One popu lar resolution has been to “spend more time with family and friends.” As college students at the largest University in the state, we basically have no free time. In between class, homework, projects, papers and extracurricular activities we barely have time to sleep. With all of

IN YOUR WORDS

this going on it is easy to neglect quality time with family and friends. If this is one of your 2010 resolutions I suggest taking about five minutes out of the day to call a family member or friend that is close to you. If possible, invite them to campus and spend the day relishing in all that is N.C. State. It will reassure you and that person that the relationship is still alive and strong. Losing weight is probably the most popular New Yea r’s resolution out of them all. It is also the hardest t o a c h i e ve because the American culture is one that is known to abuse the abundance of food in our country. The only way to live a healthy life that involves food is to live life in moderation. Diets are temporary and involve buying products and adapting to ways that may or may not work. Dieting is also frustrating. Eat to live, don’t live to eat. Find an activity that is enjoyable as well as energetic. If you are like me, activities such as water sports or rollerblading appeal more to you than the StairMaster or long distance running. Shoot for a healthy weight and not to replicate some celebrity. No one can look just like anyone else (unless you are an identical twin) so why waste your time trying to be something you’re

not? The goal is to be happy with yourself and not to let food run your life. Another popular New Year’s resolution is to “learn something new.” If you are feeling extra diligent, take up a course in a language you know nothing about. Utilize the Crafts Center on campus to make original jewelry and pottery. Learning to create pieces of art can be therapeutic — plus you may discover a t a l e nt you never knew you had. If you don’t have time to ac t ually get out and “do” something, read a new book. You can learn something (whether it’s good or bad) from every book, so don’t waste time. New Year’s resolutions are such a big part of celebrating the New Year that I don’t see myself parting from the tradition. Being able to start over is something many people look forward to and resolutions symbolize the idea of “out with the old, in with the new!” Make resolutions that will change your life in more areas than one. Start off 2010 with feelings of hope and prosperity, because most good things start with positive thoughts.

College of Design Dean Marvin Malecha said Woodson’s coming from Purdue, another land grant school, is a good sign he’ll understand what’s important to NCSU. “Since Woodson is coming from a land grant school, it will greatly benefit ours; he will already have knowledge of how our faculty works. He seems to have the right mindset and is very optimistic about coming to our University,” he said. “I look forward to working with him.” PAMS Dean Daniel Solomon said he believes there is no one else more qualified for the job than Woodson. “There is no college more like Purdue, without a medical school, than N.C. State. He’s a good match and there is no one else to fill the job coming from a school that similar to ours,” Solomon said. According to Bob Kennel, a University alumnus, Woodson not only wants to enhance academics and redeem the University’s honor, he also wants to restore our athletic department to the championship level. “Woodson is well aware of

N.C.

Woodson said the students can be assured he will establish a relationship with the student body. “I am going to get to know you, and you are going to get to know me,” he said.

It is very helpful Talley is open, and with everything that is going on I think campers are having fun, and have options to avoid the cold a little,” he said. Campers who successfully met the requirements receive tickets to the Carolina game. 80 percent of the student tickets available are given out at Campout.

Top eight happenings of 2009 All of the events worth remembering from this past year Story and photos by Staff

eferenda. Resignations. Terminated contracts. Construction. These are all things that consumed the headlines in 2009. From the removal of multiple top-level administrators to the hotly contested film preview in Witherspoon, 2009 was by no means uneventful. With the new eear barely underway, Technician takes an in-depth look at the eight things — in no particular order — in 2009 that affected campus leading into 2010.

Hillsborough Street Construction

Mary Easley Scandal

Traffic cones. Barricades surrounded by dirt. Seemingly endless traffic congestion. These are all things that became synonymous with Hillsborough Street during 2009. Consequently, many businesses on the street took major hits in sales. The purpose behind the Hillsborough Street Improvement Project, which has been a goal of many city residents and leaders for years, was to not only revitalize the street, but to also make Hillsborough Street safer for those who use it.

The University, along with the rest of the state, was shocked to hear how Mary Easley obtained her position — as well as the size of her paycheck. She was one of many N.C. government officials to take a fall this year. Students debated whether she should step down when her position was in question, but she denied any wrongdoing. Easley’s $170,000-a-year job was terminated on June 9th, shortly after Chancellor James Oblinger stepped down. The bad publicity surrounding these public officials also brought negative attention to the University at the start of the 2009-2010 school year.

Included in the plans for the $9.92 million project were plans to transform the multi-road street to a two-lane road separated by a median. The project also offered the addition of two roundabouts along Hillsborough Street, which have since been inserted.

The Board of Trustees voted unanimously in the decision to terminate Easley’s contract. UNC President Erskine Bowles said he fully supported the board’s decision to terminate “the relationship with Mrs. Easley.” “I believe we now have to move forward,” Bowles said. “I think to do so we’ve got to do everything we can to bring sunlight to this issue.”

Chancellor Oblinger resigns Amid controversy regarding the Mary Easley and Larry Nielsen drama on campus, Chancellor James Oblinger announced his resignation on June 8. “Jim Oblinger has shared with me his decision to resign as chancellor of North Carolina State University, effective immediately,” Erskine Bowles revealed in a memo. “I have accepted that decision with considerable sadness, but agreed fully with Jim’s conclusion that it would be in the best interest of N.C. State and the entire University if he stepped down as chancellor and returned to the faculty.” Before returning to the faculty in spring 2010, Oblinger was granted a six-month leave at his current salary before returning to assume his duties and responsibilities as a faculty member. Upon the resignation of Oblinger, a committee was established to find an interim replacement. Filling in where Oblinger left off was former chancellor of UNC-Charlotte, James Woodward.

Students and others gather to silently protest Tucker Max’s book “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell.” The Women’s Center located on campus sent out emails encouraging students to take part in the protest. Katie Thompson, a freshman in Engineering, said “It literally took me thirty seconds after reading the email and some of Tucker’s material to log out of my computer and march over here to protest.”

Tucker Max controversy On Aug. 26, the Union Activities Board premiered Tucker Max’s latest film, “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell,” a documentary of Max’s escapades based off his best-selling book. The film was met with great criticism from the Women’s Center and other individuals on campus. Despite these concerns and public protests, the UAB continued with the premiere, which attracted a sold-out crowd.

Talley moves forward, despite election results The Rally 4 Tally campaign was a hot topic all across campus, as students debated whether or not to accept a fee increase to pay for renovations to Talley Student Center. In the referenda vote, 60 percent of students voted against the fee increase, although they did prioritize the need to renovate Talley. Despite the referenda vote, the Student Senate voted to move forward with the implementation of fee increases. The first increase will occur during the 2010-2011 school year when student fees will be raised by $83. Work on the Atrium will also begin during this time.

Shannon Johnson, the Women’s Center Director, said that the trailer to Max’s movie depicted women in a light that was less than favorable. “He views women as objects,” Johnson said. “He’s only out to get as much sex as he can.” Echoing the views of Johnson was Juliette Grimmett, University rape prevention education coordinator, who was active in the protests leading up to the showing of the film. “We brought a new perspective. If we can get people to look at the film differently, then we did our job.”

Registered Nurse Annette Fulcher administers the H1N1 nasal spray vaccine to Cindy Lu, a graduate student in textiles. “I got an email from the Health Center. I know it’s a very sever problem. I was here waiting for at least two hours but I think it was worth it,” Lu said.

Swine flu outbreak In 2009, the campus – and the world as a whole – was taken by storm with the outbreak of what was then referred to as the swine flu. Despite initial concerns and a plethora of attention in the media, the H1N1 virus did not prove to be any deadlier than the seasonal flu, which affects millions each year. As a result of all the attention received in the media, campuses across the nation enacted preparedness plans in case of widespread epidemic. On Apr. 27, the then-chancellor, James Oblinger, released a statement outlining possible emergency measures for such an outbreak, while attempting to calm the fears of students across campus. These emergency measures proved unnecessary, although more than 1,500 students were diagnosed with the virus or exhibited H1N1-like symptoms.

Pack beats Tar Heels On Saturday, Nov. 28 the Pack defeated long-time rival, Carolina, for the third time in as many attempts. This victory came after a string of defeats, unfulfilled expectations and injuries. Leading the way offensively was quarterback Russell Wilson, who went 20-27 with four touchdown passes. Despite a less than perfect season, the win was a good way for the seniors to end the year. Following the victory, Wilson threw the game-winning ball into the stands, before realizing that the ball was to be given to Dana Bible in honor of all of his contributions to the football program. Bible, the offensive coordinator for the Pack, announced last year that he was diagnosed with leukemia.

U2 lead singer Bono leans on bass player Adam Clayton during the second song of the U2 360 Tour when they came to Carter-Finley Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 3, 2009. More than 60,00 people entered the stadium for the show.

U2 headlines at Carter-Finley Stadium After more than a decade-long hiatus from special events, Carter-Finley was host to U2 when the group made a special stop in the capital city on Oct. 3. The band played on a 360-degree, rotating stage before a crowd of more than 60,000 people. As a part of the concert, more than 1,500 jobs were created for people in the Raleigh-Durham area. Many students who attended the concert, however, were taken aback by the high prices of everything from T-shirts to food. Overall, however, students who attended said the spectacle itself was worth the price of admission. Zach Howard, a senior in materials engineering, said the stage design alone was worth the hefty price of admission. “It was disappointing that there wasn’t a student ticket option, but I thought it was great,” Howard said. “The stage was amazing. It was quite a feat from an engineering standpoint.”

As for adjusting to the difference between home life and dorm life, Neil said it is going to be a little strange. “You get a little bit of homesickness,” Neil said. “I’m looking forward to the new semester … getting back to the old routine.” Morgan said he has gotten used to dorm life and remains mostly optimistic about the upcoming semester. “I believe I am fully prepared for the new semester … hopefully,” Morgan said.

Soldiers welcomed home After a nine-month deployment to Iraq, the first of nearly 4,000 soldiers of the North Carolina Army National Guard’s 30th Heavy Brigade Combat Team returned home to their friends and families on Sunday, Jan. 10. The brigade, which has been in combat training for duty in Iraq since December of last year, was originally deployed to Iraq in April. During their time in Iraq, the brigade conducted a host of missions, some of which included the training of Iraqi police and army forces, participating in joint combat missions with Iraqi forces, and helping in the infrastructural improvements of schools.

As of Jan. 8, Alabama is the only state that is still reporting widespread cases of the H1N1 flu. All other states have reported a decreasing trend in the number of cases reported since October, when the majority of states were experiencing widespread cases. The CDC has noted that the regular flu has not emerged yet, but illnesses could increase since the winter holidays are over and students return to school. Four states were experiencing widespread cases last week compared to this week’s one. Source: newsobserver.com

Moisturizing, especially after a shower, throughout the day can reduce dry skin and irritation. Using sunscreen will help stop ultraviolet radiation from damaging skin. Stay away from tanning beds and use self-tanning sprays or lotions instead. Be aware that fabrics such as wool and even fragrances can be irritants during the winter because skin is more sensitive. Clothing such as gloves and caps can be an irritation to skin because of the fabric they are made from. Drinking water and staying hydrated will help skin stay healthy and uncracked.

The ninth annual No Pants! Subway Ride took place in New York City and other cities around the country Sunday. Participants meet up in several locations around the city, then gather on the subway. During the ride, participants take off their pants and pretend as if nothing unusual is going on. Some even portray characters, such as a businessman or tourist. The event was hosted by Improv Everywhere, an organization also responsible for Frozen Grand Central and spontaneous musicals, and has been featured in segments on The David Letterman Show, MSNBC, and ABC News. In 2006, participators were arrested, though the charges were dismissed.

To get an inside look at eating and exercise habits, scientists are developing wearable wireless sensors that monitor overweight and obese individuals during their everyday activities. The devices are intended to keep track of how long the individuals work out, the amount of food they consume, and even whether or not they visit fast-food restaurants. In general, weight loss interventions rely quite heavily upon individuals’ recollections of their meals and how long they worked out. However, by doing this, scientists can eliminate selfreported answers that actually cover up a lot of what really happens.

Pack melts down against Virginia

Women’s

State falls to 0-2 in conference play after 70-62 loss

came one point away from erasing a 16-point deficit late in the second half, but the Pack kept the Trojans off the board through the final 3:21. State enjoyed a strong start for the first time in a few weeks, limiting the Trojans to their fewest firsthalf points and worst shooting half of the year at 21.9 percent. The team’s luck changed in the second half, but State survived the late scare to improve to 9-5 on the year.

Ely Yarbrough Staff Writer

A late collapse caused State to drop its first ACC home game on Saturday 70-62 to the Virginia Cavaliers. Led by junior Tracy Smith’s 18 points and nine rebounds, the Pack couldn’t build on a late lead and put the Cavaliers away. For the second time in three games, the Pack’s inability to hit free throws proved to be the difference in the contest. “Our lack of mental toughness was a disappointment”, said State coach Sidney Lowe, “To get a lead and let down mentally was very disappointing. We just didn’t play well.” State fell to 0-2 in the conference and 11-5 overall while the Cavaliers improved to 1-0 in the ACC and 9-4 overall. A 17-7 run by Virginia brought the visiting team back into the game, evening the score at 49 with just over six minutes on the clock. The

Pack scored the next four points to make it 53-49, but the Cavs took over, outscoring the Pack 17-4 to take a commanding nine 66-57 lead with 41 seconds remaining. Freshman Scott Wood said Virginia took advantage of State’s youth. “They did a good job spreading us and pounding us down low,” Wood said. “You’re up 11 and its easy – you’ve got them beat. That’s not the case. We started missing a couple of shots and they fed off that energy.” The Cavaliers hit 17 free throws in a row en route to the victory. A late three by CJ Williams brought the game to 6660, but Virginia’s proficiency at the charity stripe preserved the 70-62 win. Lowe said free throws were the difference in the game. “It’s hard to replicate the pressure of a game in practice,” Lowe said. You can shoot shots all day but to simulate the pressure of a game is difficult.” The Pack will hit the road to face Florida State, (1-1 ACC, 13-4 overall) Tuesday night at 7 p.m.

Columbia (Dec. 4) The Columbia Lions’ last match-up against the Wolfpack wasn’t anywhere near close, a 20-point blowout for the visiting team. But the teams’ first game of the new year was a back-and-forth battle. The lead changed five times in the final minutes and junior Tia Bell, who finished with a doubledouble, was able to sink two crucial free throws in order to secure the win.

Maryland (Dec. 7) The Pack earned a win in head coach Kellie Harper’s ACC debut with a commanding 73-45 win over the Terrapins. Freshman Marissa Kastanek led her team in scoring and the Pack opened up a 20-point lead at the half. State held the Terrapins to 8-for-25 in shooting and scored off several bad turnovers. “The thing that I’m most proud of is not on the stat sheet,” said Harper told GoPack.com. “Our kids played with so much heart and so much confidence. I’m just thrilled that that’s how they played.” Boston College (Dec. 10) Harper was not so lucky on the road as her team was on the receiving end of an 83-66 drubbing at the hands of Boston College. State had its fourgame winning streak snapped after falling to a 15 point deficit in the first half, a hole the team was never able to crawl out of. Holston led the team with 19 points in the loss.

Wake Forest (Dec. 20) Winter weather hit much of the eastern part of North Carolina in the days preceding State’s ACC opener, and snow covered much of the parking lot outside Lawrence Joel Coliseum. Inside, however, the Pack’s offense struggled to provide any warmth of its own, shooting 34 percent from field goal range. Meanwhile, the Demon Deacons got off to a hot start, shooting 52 percent from the field in the first half. Junior point guard Javier Gonzalez led the Pack with 18 points, scoring 15 in the second half. Smith and freshman small forward Scott Wood also finished in double figures, with both scoring 11 points. Gonzalez said State fell behind early and cited the Deacons 18 offensive rebounds as a reason for the loss. “They came out with more energy, especially in the first half,” Gonzalez said. “They built a lead and just never gave it back. We gave them too many opportunities on offensive rebounds and that was a big key to the ballgame. I think we could have finished a lot better around the rim.”

Southern Scuffle (Dec. 29-30) Junior 149-pounder Bobby Ward placed fifth in the Southern Scuffle, held in Greensboro, N.C. just before the New Year. Ward went 7-2 in the tournament. Counting a pair of forfeits, he won four of five matches. As a whole, the team finished in 21st place. Freshman heavyweight Eloheim Palma dropped a pair of matches and was eliminated from the tournament after advancing to the quarterfinals on Tuesday. Nebraska/North Dakota State (1/3) The Pack dropped matches in Lincoln, Neb., 23-16 to North Dakota State and 31-10 to 12th-ranked Nebraska. Ray and Bobby Ward scored all 10 of State’s points in a loss to the Cornhuskers. Bobby Ward, at

149, scored a 14-4 major decision over Chris Hacker and Ray Ward pinned James Nakashima at 2:02 at 165. The Wolfpack fell to 2-4 in dual matches with the loss. Wyoming (1/5) Despite receiving strong performances from its lower weight classes, the Pack lost last five matches, two by fall and one by major decision, in a 2615 loss to Wyoming. State got a lift from Colton Palmer’s 8-4 decision over Mikah Kadera at 157 pounds to make the score 15-4, but Wyoming dominated as the day went on.

Arizona (Dec. 23) The Pack traveled to the desert to take on the Wildcats and almost walked out with a win. Arizona squandered an 8-point lead in the final 37 seconds as the Wolfpack made two 3-pointers and converted on a three-point play. This was largely the work of junior Javier Gonzales, who scored 18 points, including 10 in the final 30 seconds. But State had a defensive relapse in the final seconds of the game and allowed Nic Wise to drive the length of the court for a layup. Wise broke the 74-74 tie and prevented overtime,

Duke (1/9) Heavyweight Eloheim Palma defeated Andrew Fulk in the final bout of the night to lead State, 2217, over Duke in both teams’ ACC opener. The Pack won the first four bouts of the match and five of the first six to build an 18-3 lead, but Duke battled back. Palma’s major decision lifted his team to 4-5 for the season. Duke fell to 1-1.

Winthrop (Dec. 29) State took off offensively with balanced scoring and compiled a 30-7 run. Freshman Scott Wood, who had been snake-bitten behind the arc, led the way by hitting three threepointers. Senior Dennis Horner scored a team-high 12 points, but five of his teammates had eight points or more in the 6852 win.

Junior forward Tracy Smith finished with 21 points and 9 rebounds. Freshman guard Scott Wood and junior point guard Javier Gonzalez also hit shots down the stretch to keep the Pack in the game and force overtime. In overtime, Gonzalez scored the opening five points to open up State’s biggest lead since before halftime, but all those good performances were dampened the way the game was lost.

Holy Cross (Dec. 6) State recovered from its emotional last second loss to Florida with a win at home against Patriot League foe Holy Cross by a final score of 87-70. The team gave up an early 10-4 lead to the Crusaders due to bad shooting and a lack of rebounding. Freshman guard Scott Wood came out cold from beyond the three point line, going just one for six from beyond the arc in the first half. Holy Cross also out rebounded N.C.

RB Baker decides against 2010 return

While you were loading up on holiday treats and sleeping off the semester, several athletic teams’ seasons were well underway

Halfback Toney Baker has decided to forgo his final year of eligibility after being granted a sixth season by the NCAA. Baker returned in 2009 after missing two straight seasons because of a knee injury and led the team in rushing, ranked third in scoring and fourth in receiving. He was the recipient of the ACC’s 2009 Brian Piccolo Award as the league’s most courageous player.

Senior forward Dennis Horner attempts to block a shot by Virginia guard Sylven Landesberg. Horner fouled out of the game with 12 points and two rebounds. The team lost 70-62.

Elon (Dec. 17) The Pack was able to edge out the Elon Phoenix, 79-76 to open its break play in a game few expected to be as close as it was. State started off quickly, with junior forward Tracy Smith scoring the game’s first basket just 15 seconds into the game. But the team was unable to follow-up this quick start, going without a field goal for the next three minutes. This poor shooting helped the Phoenix jump out to an early 15-7 lead. Elon led 39-33 at the break. The Pack came out in the second with an intensity it lacked in the first, scoring the period’s first seven points to take a 40-39 lead. Tracy Smith left the game with

Elon gave the points back when sophomore guard Julius Mays was put at the line for two free throws of his own. After a defensive stop, the team was able trade free throws for Elon baskets to put the game away by a final score of 79-76.
