New leaders debut at final BOT meeting Chancellor Randy Woodson attends his first meeting formally as chancellor, Kelly Hook sworn in as Student Body President Ty Johnson Senior Staff Writer
The final Board of Trustees meeting of the academic year always features the swearing in of the newly-elected student body president and recognition of the incumbent’s accomplishments, but the SBP office wasn’t the only leadership position being passed on at Friday’s meeting at the Dorothy and Ray Park Alumni Center. Chancellor Randy Woodson attended the meeting formally for the first time as the head of the University as the transition between the interim chancellor, Jim Woodward, and Woodson came full circle. Woodson had nothing but praise for Woodward and said his aid during the change of power made the entire process nearly seamless. “From the day I was named chancellor, Jim Woodward has been a constant companion,” he said. “He has
helped me tremendously. The transition couldn’t have been smoother because Jim Woodward has been so collaborative.” But even as the University formally filled its top position Woodson already must begin the search for a permanent provost to relieve interim Warwick Arden. Woodson said while Arden had performed admirably in the role, the next step forward for the University was to unite in its search for a provost, which will be conducted through a service similar to the one that brought Woodson to Raleigh. “We all agree that we want to make sure that this search is open and aggressive,” Woodson said during the meeting. The meeting also included the swearing in of Kelly Hook as student body president. Outgoing president Jim Ceresnak gave his final report, highlighting his term’s accomplishments from getting Wolf Wheels rolling to Howl For Haiti. Hook, whose parents and brother were in attendance, said when she attends her final BOT meeting next April, she’ll have similar successes to share.
Meeting notes: Visitation: The Student and Campus Affairs Committee introduced the concept of 24-hour visitation to the Board of Trustees Friday after discussing the issue with campus leaders during the committee meeting Thursday. A formal proposal will come at the July 15 meeting, but the change would require amending University policies. Chair of the committee Barbara Mulkey said N.C. State was the only ACC institution that doesn’t allow any 24-hour visitation.

Student Body President Kelly Hook is sworn in at Friday’s Board of Trustees meeting as her parents and brother look on. Hook, a junior in political science, replaced outgoing president Jim Ceresnak on the board, which is the governing body of the University.
“When I get up there, I’m going to say we’re a better Wolfpack and a stronger student family than we were when we started,” Hook said, adding she’ll seek to fill vacancies on standing committees at the University to ensure student input is heard across

With their feet in the 69º water of Lake Raleigh, Jennifer Kopenitz, junior in industrial engineering, and Julie Heyde, masters student in higher education administration, wait for the start of the Triangle Orthopaedic Sprint Triathlon on Centennial Campus Sunday. Kopenitz and Heyde were both on the club swim team and came out for the 750 meter swim, 10.5 mile bike, and 5k run. “It’s a little cold but hopefully it will be okay and warm up later on,” Kopenitz said before the race. She was later the first female finisher.
Graduate school to expand number of certificate programs Additional certificate programs will be created to accommodate an increase in interested departments Evan Johnson Staff Writer
The graduate school announced the addition of certificate programs, each about 15 credit hours and offered on both campus and online through distance education. A new registration system has been created, in addition to the new course offerings, to streamline the application process and help enrollment in the new certificates easier for students. The costs of enrollment in the certificate programs are equal to that of any masters or PhD level program. Lian Lynch, the assistant registrar at the graduate school has handled the influx of new applications. “We’ve had graduate certificates

I think Windhover is beautiful.” The open mic featured students and faculty reading their original work, that ranged from poems to stories to creative nonfiction.

Everyone respects everyone else. It’s a free space to share what you want to, good or bad.” Dear particularly appreciated the atmosphere. “Windhover’s purpose is to be read and enjoyed by everyone,” she said. “It’s nice to see people read it and hear people enjoy it.” Those whose work was published in the magazine were especially excited.

‘Macbeth’ comes to Titmus Theatre UNIVERSITY THEATRE PUTS ON MODERN PRODUCTION OF SHAKESPEARE’S FAMOUS TRAGEDY STORY BY CHRISTINE URBOWICZ
F
or some students involved with University Theatre, the past few months have been consumed by the thought of blood, violence, hallucinations, kingship, tyranny and the relationship between cruelty and masculinity.
After countless hours of with a different spin — a more hard work, “Macbeth” is be- modern spin. According to Jayme Meling performed through Sunday in Titmus Theatre under lema, the University Theatre the direction of Rachel Klem scenic designer, the Univerof Common Ground Theater sity’s portrayal of Macbeth is and Dana Marks of Little Green a “street kids” version of the show. Pig Theatrical “The abanConcern. doned subAs the story way station goes, “Machas a castle beth,” which like feel to is considered it. It is made by many to with tile and be Sha ke looks as if speare’s darkyou were unest tragedy, derground,” begins when Mellema said. Macbeth is Jennifer Dasher, costume “The tragedy visited by designer of Macbeth three witches is about how who prophesize that he will become the ambition can get the better of a King of Scotland. Fortified by person. The set is a deteriorated his wife, Macbeth starts on space that enhances the quality a bloody path to acquire and of Macbeth’s downfall.” The costumes, which were secure the throne, only to find the position empty and unful- created by costume designer Jennifer Dasher, also have a filling. Unlike the original showing, more contemporary look than which was performed in April something you would expect to 1611, the University Theatre’s see in a traditional Shakespeare production is being performed play.
“I designed the pieces around the mood and feelings of the principle characters.”
“Most of the costumes are modern pieces that can be bought in stores,” Dasher said. “I designed the pieces around the mood and feelings of the principle characters.” Throughout the play, the main characters’ costumes remain the same. Macbeth’s character, for example, wears a modern military jacket to portray the power and strength exhibited by the protagonist. According to Dasher, Lady Macbeth’s outfit has more masculine elements that serve to protect her in the abandoned underground streets. The costume was also designed to make Lady Macbeth appear androgenic instead of overly feminine. The three witches act as streetwalkers and wear clothing that is more natural. The look of the costumes and setting will help students have an easier time following the action of the play. While the play itself is modernized in its production elements and setting, the script is, in fact, exactly the same as the original. “Shakespeare’s language is almost a foreign language,” Dasher said. “The modern look helps draw students closer to the story of Macbeth because it is easier for them to understand and relate to.”

The Facts:
A group of about 1,000 Tea Party members went to the state capitol Thursday to protest taxation and federal influence.
Our Opinion:
The Tea Party deserves representation, but so do the millions of other North Carolinians. It does them a disservice when major political parties play to the likes of the Tea Party.
A cup of tea for everyone M The unsigned editorial is the opinion of the members of Technician’s editorial board excluding the news department and is the responsibility of the Executive Editors.
any law-abiding Americans spend April 15 each year putting the last touches on their tax return, fulfilling one of the basic tasks of citizenry and contributing back to the system which provides all residents with rescue services and basic law and order — just to acknowledge a small part of what taxes go toward. This image was in stark contrast to what members of the Tea Party did Thursday. The fringe element of about 1,000 people at the state capitol seized the day as an opportunity to protest Tax Day and, presumably, the state of the government. The right of speech and pro-
test are essential to American democracy, without them people are little more than pawns in the hands of the empowered. But it’s disturbing to see political leaders — the empowered — acquiesce to a radical group like the Tea Party for fear of isolating a political base. Honestly, it’s pathetic to hear that the likes of Claude E. Pope Jr., chairman of the Wake County Republican Party, would go to speak at an event for the Tea Party. Radicals deserve representation, but not from a political party attempting to serve as an umbrella for
a broad group of interests. It speaks to the inefficiency of the U.S.’s two-party political system when an umbrella party which should represent a majority of constituents feels the need to hone in on a group of people defined by a desire to avoid taxes and fight federal influence. Regardless of your political preferences, liberal or conservative, it’s disheartening to see this sort of mindless politics. For successful political discourse, political parties must be allowed to actually represent their constituents; neither
umbrella party does that right now, with both playing preference to some of their most extreme elements. It’s not just the Tea Party; it’s the lack of political diversification. Until Americans have a choice of viable third parties, these groups will continue to play a part in larger umbrellalike organizations. Hence, it’s incumbent on students, the state’s future leaders, to press for real change. It’s essential students press the drive for a system that accommodates representation for a fringe like the Tea Party and the nearly 10,000,000 other North Carolinians.

Is this the real world?

ecently, I watched a “South Park” episode called “You Have Zero Friends.” I’m not typically a huge fan of the show, but that particular episode may have hit the nail on the head with rega rds to Facebook and ot her socia l sites. Cartman Sam Daughtry and Kyle were Staff Columnist happy Facebook fans ; they friended lots of people and tended virtual farms. Stan wanted nothing to do with the site, but he was sucked into becoming a member — somewhat like the thousands of students at N.C. State that are on Facebook and other social network sites. Chatroulette was also mentioned on that episode. I had no idea what that site was all about and I decided to take a look. I will just say that “South Pa rk ” was right about the activity centered on that particular site. After just one quick moment on Chatroulette, I felt as if someone had a remote control rapidly changing between porn channels. Cartman said, “If you want to find some quality friends”… well, you might want to tune in for the rest. I then figured out that others could hear my reactions on Chatroulette, so I ended up creating my own version of ChatTourettes — I will just say it became more interesting, minus the visuals. What on earth ever happened to e-mail, instant chat or a quick phone call? That has all been “upgraded” to the irksome world of Facebook and cell phone chat. I have had friends say to me that they sent me a Facebook friend request, message, posting or even want me to play those ridiculous games. It is bad enough that we live in a MySpace, Twitter, blogging, Foursquare, Yahoo and AIM world — but all of them at once? No thanks. I don’t think there is enough ADHD medication for me to multitask that well. Some of us procrastinate just fine with a course syllabus, adding social networking just screws up my
day. It’s gotten even more ridiculous, though; the Wolfline even tried to friend me on Facebook. Next it was University Dining — I don’t think they liked my comment about cake. The fact remains that I really do not want to be a fan of virtual worlds. I am a fan of banana pudding, but to have it recognized on Facebook is over the top. Regardless, Facebook and texting do have similarities. Nobody calls anymore until you don’t reply to the text message or update your Facebook status — then the drama unfolds. It was bad enough when I used to get cell phone calls in the bathroom. Now people are texting or updating their social status while on the toilet — some things should just be left alone. Why people still have conversations in three letter acronyms is beyond me? I feel like I need a Klingon dictionary just to keep up with the conversation. Most smart phones have an entire keyboard and ye t p e ople still send coded messages. I ca n remember when people used to talk on the phone w it h t hose ridiculous Bluetooth headset s ; I could never tell if they were on the phone or talking to me. So I just replied as if they were talking to me only to interrupt their conversation. My scheme may have worked, because I rarely see Bluetooth headsets anymore. Facebook is much like Guitar Hero; it’s a fraud. Having a gazillion friends and billions of points for playing a fake guitar is not the real thing. If you are in need of more friends there is another site called uSocial where you can purchase friends. Are we so desperate nowadays to have friends? Facebook is nothing more than a popularity contest, and equal to a social offender registry. One thing is for sure; our society has just rapidly become nothing more than a live version of Wall-E. FML.

attended an art sale at the Lee Hansley gallery in downtown Raleigh March 7 to benefit the light wall sculpture at D.H. Hill Library. The lig ht wall sculpture, originally by the late artist Joe Cox, is in disrepair Jake Goldbas a n d n o t Staff Columnist functioning. It is a giant black-metal sculpture that is about 30 feet long by four feet tall and reflects colored lights onto Hillsborough Street. It is located behind the circulation desk next to the back elevators. “The Color Wall should shine brightly forever,” said James Holbert, a senior in math, who attended the charity. “It should be expanded to cover the entire side of the library.” As such, Holbert said he has already contributed to the charity, which is set up to receive donations. An article on the library’s Web site said the charity fund was set up by the blog “Good Night Raleigh!” and Friends of the Library. The campus contact for the project is Karl Larson in the College of Design. The sculpture was originally installed in 1972 and represents the intersection of engineering and beauty, which are the two cornerstones of this school,

representing the College of Engineering and Design, respectively. The article for the library’s Web site stated that a mere $6,000 is all that is needed to fix the sculpture. The charity’s efforts to fix the light wall are validated and people associated with this school should attend to the problem as soon as possible. Having a giant sculpture around is wonderful, but only so long as it is functioning. If it is just a drab hunk of metal, that is one thing, but if it is a drab hunk of metal that could be mu c h b e tter than it is, students must work to f ix it. Students must do their part to fix the Color Wall. Funds from students and faculty should only be taken voluntarily because the gravity of the situation doesn’t necessitate mandatory measures. As such, the problem the charity encounters is how to complete such a problem. If everyone says someone else will complete the project, no one will complete the project. The Color Wall serves as much as a promotion for the library as it does in serving as a beacon for Hillsborough Street. I picture people talking about the light wall and showing it off to their parents and family. The meaning of the sculpture as a combination of mechanical ability with design sense is ob-
vious, but not the point of the project. Rather, I imagine it to simply be a beautiful sculpture. One could compare it to the Wolf Ears sound sculpture in front of the library, which represents a similar meeting of mechanical ingenuity and playful application of sitting in the seats across the library’s courtyard. The sculpture inspires me in a number of ways. Throughout t h i s school y e a r, I have written c olumns celebrating diversity, celebrating the D.H. Hill Library and its diversity. The rainbow of the active sculpture represents the diversity of the school. The Color Wall is long and rectangular, therefore representing the books on the shelf and the joy of taking a book off the shelf. Finally, the sculpture is kinetic, which means it is constantly in motion when it is activated. Constant motion: there is no better metaphor for the library or this great school.

Staff Writer
“There is a place for the people who voted for ObamaCare,” were the words on the banner. “That place is HELL.” This was my introduction to the Tea Party movement. Last Thursday, hundreds of Tea Party supporters flocked to the Capitol Building to hear a number of conservative speakers speak about the importance of “taking back the nation” and “enacting real change.” For those of you who have remained in the dark about such things, the Tea Party movement is a rig ht-w ing protest movement that grew out of support for Ron Paul’s presidential campaign, before morphing into a larger movement of right wingers united by a disdain for President Barack Obama and the White House. Essentially, mix one part populism with two parts talk radio and then white wash everything, and you have the Tea Party movement. My assignment was to try and talk to as many people present and figure out if the typical depictions of these supporters were accurate. Typically, these are the people who are portrayed as raving psychopaths when pictures of them surface on the web or videos leak on the evening news. In this task, I took along a recording device and a colleague who specialized in dealing with strange people. I quickly realized that there had been some kind of warning to not speak with anyone who did not appear to be a member of the group. Inquiries for comment, which usually contained the words “N.C. State,” “Technician,” “student,” and “newspaper” were usually rebuffed with “I have no comment,” or some variation thereof. Most of the people who were willing to talk to us — and to be fair, this group represented the majority of the people there — were a grab bag of
very nice middle-aged people with some vague disdain for the behavior of their government and a desire to see one or two right-wing pet projects enacted. There were other conservative constituencies present. One man, in particular, who appeared to be in his fifties, took to carrying around a flag of the nation of Israel, declaring that the United States threatened to be in violation of God’s law if Obama succeeded in cutting overseas aid to the state of Israel. Another man was particularly incensed at the threatened budget cuts for NASA. When gently informed that NASA’s budget had been steadily cut under multiple presidents, including the previous one, he became quite agitated. “When will you people get over Bush and be a man and answer for Obama,” he said. “This interview is over.” The closer one moved to the protestors across the street, the nuttier things became. A si z eable chunk of the “tea partiers” wished to do little other than trade expletives with the equally raucous but rather small group of counter-protestors. One of these more combative sorts revealed himself to be a member of the Birther movement, which challenges the citizenship and thus qualifications of Obama to be president. “Do you think he loves America the way it is today? I don’t think so. He just wants to change, change, change,” the man said. After evading questions about the possible birth reference in his sign, which was a Soviet flag with the words “Kenya Spell Communism” scrawled on it, his female companion spoke up, and said, “I don’t think he’s from this country. I think he would produce his birth certificate if he was.” This was closest we got to getting anyone with a truly nutty sign to speak to us. There were, however, two large men wearing shirts with the words, “Water the tree of liberty” — an allusion to the
“Essentially, mix one part populism with two parts talk radio...and you have the Tea Party movement.”

Thomas Jefferson quote, “The tree of Liberty must from time to time be watered with the blood of tyrants.” They were not particularly inclined to explain their shirt’s meaning, however. There were at least two dozen others with similar shirts. There was no uniformity of politics present. Everyone seemed to be anti-something — be it health care, abortion, immigration or homosexuals. One of the speakers, Mr. Terry Hardison of the Constitution Party and a pastor by trade, for example, seemed to be quite bothered by homosexuals and called plans for gay marriage “A plan to ensnare you and me.” He did not explain the details of this plan or how its insidious goal would be accomplished. The most fascinating of the protestors was a self-proclaimed “broke” middle-aged couple that said they espoused a disdain for private interaction in the economy or any other sector of society. These were people who are currently on unemployment, yet unpleased with the government for trying to extend unemployment benefits to them, for regulating the banks or for trying to decrease the overall cost of health care. The telling bit of the whole experience came at the end as we made our way back to our car. While walking, my colleague found a discarded sign with the words “Socialism muzzles intellect” embossed on an upside down American flag. It was then that we encountered
866.282.4648
a family of four, including two children who were both very small and no older than five or six years old. The experience summed up the trip pretty nicely. “You boys are great Americans,” the father said. “Our country needs more people like you.” “We’re not Americans, sir,” my colleague said. “We’re journalists.” The expression on his face changed as did his general hue. The general warmth and pride he felt before for the youth of his nation was suddenly dashed. His wife clutched the children tightly, obviously terrified that her husband had unwittingly exposed his family to the exact thing the man on the radio had warned them could happen: they had been cornered by the communist youth whose survival depended on their ability to secure the flesh of good capitalists for consumption. From this, The Tea Party movement does not look like the kind of political force that will change a nation. Their only real unifying characteristic was a mutual love of talk radio. The more extreme members of the movement will turn off regular Americans, and the average “tea partier” was not the kind of person to vote against the GOP. The only thing the 1,000 some odd people present on the Capitol would have agreed upon was that Rush is right, followed by a loud unison proclamation of “Ditto!”

Pack seventh at ACCs
continued from page 10
Wake Forest claims second straight title Sunday in Greensboro, N.C.
Though the offenses stole the show early, both the Red and White defenses responded with several big plays of their own, picking off four passes and tallying seven sacks on the afternoon. After the two offenses combined to score four first quarter touchdowns, they scored only three more over the game’s final three quarters. “The defense definitely stepped it up and started playing ball,” Bryan said. “They had a couple mistakes here and there, but both sides of the ball played hard.” Red sh i r t sophomore linebacker Terrell Manning led the Red team with seven tackles, while senior linebacker Asante’ Cureton and freshman defensive end both recorded seven for the White squad. With spring practice now concluded, Bryan said he and his teammates have already turned their focus to the Pack’s season opener Sept. 4 against Western Carolina.

Early offensive fireworks highlight first action for 2010 Wolfpack football Tyler Everett Deputy Sports Editor
In the most extensive action of his career, walk-on senior quarterback Dan Imhoff led the Red team of the first team defense and second team offense to a 31-21 victory Saturday over the White team, made up of the first string offense and second string defense, in the 2010 Kay Yow Spring Football game. Despite the loss, redshirt junior tight end George Bryan said the scrimmage was beneficial in more ways than one. “It was a lot of fun,” Bryan said. “I love the competition that we get to go against. The defense played really well and everybody played well. It was a good scrimmage and I think we learned a lot from it and had a great time.” An announced crowd of 25,372 watched coach Tom O’Brien and his team conclude 2010 spring practice with what started out as an aerial shootout. Red sh i r t sophomore quarterback Mike Glennon’s long awaited first pass as State’s first stringer went awry, but that was about all that went wrong for either offense in the early going Saturday. Glennon proceeded to completed his

Both Glennon and Imhoff spread the wealth, completing passes to seven different targets apiece, including sophomore tight end Asa Watson, who Imhoff connected with on an 86 yard touchdown pass with three minutes remaining in the first quarter. “We have a great group of guys at the wide receiver position,” said Smith, who finished with three catches for 96 yards and two touchdowns. “We are growing as a unit and one thing we crack down on every day is ‘growth’. We all have to grow and learn more about the game and that is how we are going to get better going into the season.”

In its last home match of the season, the No. 50 men’s tennis team honored its only senior, Frideric Prandecki, the best way a team can. Prandecki helped lead the Wolfpack to a 5-2 victory over Boston College. State now moves to a 15-11, 3-8 in the ACC, record. Prandecki, who typically only plays doubles, took the singles court for the first time this spring during ACC action, gaining a 6-2, 6-4 victory on court No. 6 over BC’s Brian Locklear.

team. He’s always been there for us,” Gujarati said. “It’s going to be a big loss but I’m really happy he won his match today.” After Prandecki and Hodgson’s victory, junior Rob Lowe and Gujarati dropped their doubles match, 8-4 to Adam Davidson and Thomas Nolan. “They came out with strong serves and we got broken so that put us down a little bit,” Gujarati said. “We tried to fight back but it was too late.” The doubles point came down to sophomore Jamie Pulgar and freshman Dave Thomson. The team defeated Erik Kreutzer and Akash Muppidi, 8-4, to gain the point. The momentum continued onto the singles court as freshman Rafael Paez claimed the first win, defeating Alex Skinner 6-0, 6-2. No. 62 Pulgar followed suit, defeating No. 122 Muppidi, 6-0, 6-3. Gujarati clinched the win for State with a 6-1, 6-4 victory
over Schroeder. According to Gujarati, the win was important since he dropped his last five singles matches. “I lost five matches in a row and I was really mad about it,” Gujarati said. “I wanted to change things today, so I came out with a plan. I just wanted to take control.” To end the match, Boston College’s Thomas Nolan defeated No. 111 Hodgson in a hard fought match, 4-6, 7-6 (9), (10-3). Hodgson entered national rankings for the first time last week. The Pack will take this week to prepare for the ACC tournament, which begins Thursday in Cary, N.C. The bracket and times will be announced later this week. “This team is like my family,” Prandecki said. “I have one or two matches left with them and it just went by so fast, but it was one hell of an experience.”
