BOG names Ross next UNC System president THE DAVIDSON COLLEGE PRESIDENT IS SET TO REPLACE CURRENT UNC SYSTEM PRESIDENT ERSKINE BOWLES JAN 1. STORY BY CHRIS BOUCHER | PHOTOS COURTESY OF NCSU LIBRARIES SPECIAL COLLECTIONS RESEARCH CENTER & UNC SYSTEMS

THOMAS ROSS

n a packed boardroom Wednesday afternoon, the UNC Board of Governors unanimously elected Thomas W. Ross as the next UNC System president. Ross, the president of Davidson College since 2007, will succeed Erskine Bowles on Jan. 1. Bowles has led the UNC System for the past five years. While the state’s economic straits have “I pledge to give it my all,” Ross said. “I love this state of ours, and no institution put the UNC System in a tenuous position, is more important to it than [the UNC Ross said he is confident the system will be System].

I graduated from [N.C.] State in the late 60s. It was an interesting time to be there. The Brickyard was built. Carter (Finley) Stadium opened and the White Shoes Defense played there for a year. The football team got up to 6th in one poll and one spot higher in the other, and the Technician proudly ran the headline, “AP Tops UPI’s 6-Pack With a Fifth.” Coach Sloan’s wife sang the National Anthem before basketball games at Reynolds and Billy Kretzer showed off his basketball skills by dribbling the ball for almost forever against Dook in the ACC Tournament. And the Pack won, too! Vietnam was on everybody’s mind. Professor H.A.

While I played varsity sports and enjoyed the experience, what I really loved was my four years on the staff of WPAK and, later, WKNC-FM. We were located in the old King Building, right next door to the Technician. Even though there was a sort-of rivalry between these two student media outlets, there was also a close camaraderie. They actually let me write the articles about my sports team and then they published them under my radio name. I remember how great we felt the night we signed WKNC-FM on the air for the first time. We were playing stuff that nobody else in Raleigh was playing. And we found out pretty quickly that people were listening! We never dreamed that the station would develop the following it

BACK IN THE DAY

My son is now a student at State, so I get to see the current Technician from time to time. It has certainly improved over the years. And I almost always try to listen to 88.1 WKNC when I’m in Raleigh. It’s also gotten much better over the years – and much more powerful. Still playing all the stuff no one else in town will play. And it sounds like it’s still as much fun being part of it as it was the day we went on the air for the first time. Calvin

Murphy Center provides alternative dining experience Nathan Hardin News Editor

The Wendell H. Murphy Center Dining Hall at CarterFinley stadium provides an alternative dining experience for students looking for a break from main campus’ dining options. According to University Dining’s website, the Murphy Center is open for lunch on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Jennifer Gilmore, marketing and communications manager for University Dining, said the Murphy Center’s menu is comparable to other dining options and accepts the same University-offered tenders. “The menu can be compared to what is run at the other three dining halls on campus,” Gilmore said. “We take AllCampus, Meal Plans and Board Bucks. It is set up exclusively for the campus community.” Gilmore also said the Murphy Center dining hall is open

for lunch because of the athletic department’s compliance with NCAA regulations. “The NCA A allows athletic departments to have one meal a day reserved only for athletes,” Gilmore said. “Our athletic department chose dinner as their training table meal. Since lunch is not considered a training table meal, the Murphy Center is available to all students for that meal period.” Students can find out more at www.ncsudining.com.

Gelbart said he was unaware of policies at N.C. State against sharing academic login information. “I’m not familiar with all the rules at each college,” Gelbart said. “It’s up to the student to trust us or to determine whether to give [their academic login information] to us or not.” According to Gelbart, Ultrinsic only uses the academic login information to access student’s transcripts. “We don’t care about accessing their account per say. All we care about is having an easy and quick method to access the transcript,” Gelbart said. Gelbart also said Ultrinsic is concerned if requiring academic login information causes a problem for any school. “We do care about if this is something is something that presents a difficulty for the school,” Gelbart said. “We are willing to look at an alternative method that would provide the students with another easy way.” Gelbart said N.C. State had already sent Ultrinsic a letter. “Right now, N.C. State sent us a letter, maybe, I’m not sure,” Gelbart said. According to Gelbart, approximately 6,500 students are registered with Ultrinsic. “Of those 6,500 students registered with Ultrinsic, probably 2,000 of them are waiting for their school to be added to the schools we serve,” Gelbart said. “Of the rest of the students, probably 100 to 200 students are

THE FACTS:

To UNC President Thomas Ross A

Thomas Ross, the current president of Davidson College, was elected as UNC system president Thursday.

OUR OPINION:

Ross needs to maintain Bowles’ reputation for communication and seek to connect with the UNC system schools and their roles in N.C.

fter five years as the University of North Carolina system president, Erskin Bowles is stepping down and the reins are going to Davidson President Thomas Ross. Until the recent tuition increase, students rarely considered who is in power over the UNC system. Shortly after signing the budget this year, the N.C. General Assembly gave the UNC president the power to pass tuition increases. With this in mind, students need to be aware of what is going on in the UNC system. N.C. State is a part of the UNC system, along with 17 other schools. Now, we are

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.

all in the same position. We are waiting to see what Ross will do in January when he takes the presidential seat. Thomas Ross is the current president of Davidson College, which is a private university outside the UNC system. This raises concerns as far as whether or not he is aware of issues that affect public institutions and their roles in the state. One of the most pressing issues is the recent tuition increases. Students should be wary about how Ross may deal with possible fu-

ture tuition increases and Ross should be aware of the effect this current increase has had on students. Maintaining transparency and an open line of communication with the 17 schools he is serving will be crucial as Ross adapts to a different administrative climate. This will also calm some of the concerns students have. Since he is from outside of the system, he needs to learn and listen to gain the trust of students. North Carolina relies heavily on the education

the UNC system delivers, whether it is in engineering, education or the arts. The students, as well as the residents, across the state will need Ross to foster excellence for the UNC system and uphold its reputation of elite schools. Thomas Ross experience in N.C. is extensive, but now we are trusting him with our futures. We need to both serve as watchdogs to our system and learn from Ross as he shares his experience with us.

The perk of putting kids to work

ne of the contentions t hat i nter nat iona l excha nge students always make when they first arrive in Alexander Hall is towards the lack of their perception of American’s culture. Maybe they don’t see our American c u lt u re b e cause our true culture doesn’t arise in our populous until we’re out of our education. Conrad Our true culPlyler ture is our economic culture Staff columnist a nd it on ly arises when we start working. I think we should start getting our culture up and running at a younger age. This doesn’t mean getting rid of all child labor laws would be okay. After all, we don’t want to go back to nine-year-olds working the spool machines at textile plants. Instead, we need to create a safe environment that would introduce our children to a working environment so that our business culture can foster a younger age. My idea is based off “the lemonade stand.” Lemonade s t a nd s a re successful for children because of two main factors. First, the kids are cute, and it’s hard to turn down a product from a small child. Second, lemonade stands usually take advantage of location, location, location! By taking advantage of those same two factors, we can create an institution that is successful and employs community kids. Although we have zoning laws that prevent business from cropping up right next to our suburban homes, we should allow child-founded businesses to exist in the communities. Is it unreasonable to imagine a suburb with a little ice-cream stand ran by a soccer mom and kids looking for some business experience? Of course, we may need to wave some of the minimum wage laws to make some of the businesses successful, but the goal of establishing the business culture at a younger age would be established.

In a day and age when we hear constant complaints of America’s youth spending too much time indoors playing videogames, it be better to begin teaching them the value of working together with employees to accomplish a goal. Even if a child only worked for one hour a day during the school week, that one hour of being out of the house would be a taste of an alternative to being in the house. Maybe on the way to work at the ice-cream shop, the kids would see the basketball hoop at the park. Maybe they’ll walk by the local library. Maybe just seeing what is in the community will make the youth of America will see that they can become a part of the community. Like a regular job, no one has to apply for a job if they don’t want one. I think North Carolina should just let it be an option for little suburb communities that have motivated moms that can spend the time to organize a little business venture for their kids. The first step would need changes in the zoning laws to allow bu sinesses with this specific purpose to come about. The second step would be for activists groups to organize these community building children stores. The American culture is defined by businesses, hard work, and cooperation. The best way for us to increase our culture and improve the overall effect is to start the process earlier. Education can teach children only so much. But education doesn’t show Americans what having a job entirely entails like actually having a job.

“Our true culture is our economic culture and it only arises when we start working.”

What would you like to see the new UNC president do? BY JORDAN MOORE

Don’t be afraid to doubt

tudents always wonder about the purpose of going to college. For some it might be to get a piece of paper that signals they have endured endless nights in the library —hopped up on caffeine and non-FDA approved substances —while jumping back and forth from Microsoft Word to Facebook. For some, college is all about networking with like-minded pe ers w ho enjoy being paddled Zakk White with a sawed Staff columnist off boat oar while a frightened hamster shivers in a cage nearby. For others it might be about learning a trade, skill, con or trick to be able to moderately succeed in the soul-crushing wasteland that is the American Service Economy. College is without a doubt embodied by all of these things and more. But what is most valuable about college is the experience of doubting everything. From politics to religion, from morality to science, from sexuality to culture, you should doubt it all. Even question your family, your friends and ultimately yourself. My idea of doubting isn’t exactly the notion of experimenting in college, but as a mental exercise. This is the time to critically examine your deepest beliefs and values to see if they hold up un-

der scrutiny. Most people naturally resist doubt and skepticism. They prefer to find an easily digestible, rock bottom answer and move on the next nugget of truth to be absorbed. In reality, those nuggets are not as solid as they appear. Life is ambiguous, mysterious and daunting, but that is what makes it fun. Doubting is not about switching sides, changing your mind or experimenting, but accepting that there may not be answers to some important questions. Even if there are answers, you may never find them. Now is the time to think outside the box a nd question everything. Itís much better to do t h at now when your responsibilities are less than they will be when you have a real job and possibly a family to support. In primary school, teachers pumped information into you without much of a debate. In reality, the higher you are in your education, the shakier things become. While primary education is about obedience to authority, college is supposed to be about doubt, skepticism and deconstruction of the eternal truths learned in earlier education. But instead of something scary or destructive,

doubt can be quite enlightening and invigorating. You may find a new way of looking at the world that wakes you up to the complexity of life. You may even find yourself liberated from chains that you never quite noticed were even there. Throughout the course of this exercise of doubt and skepticism, you might discover that some of your cherished beliefs are pure buncombe, or your beliefs about yourself and the world a re the way to go. But to ga i n a nything, you f irst must a s k s ome tough questions: Does G o d e xist? Is there such a thing as good or bad ? W hy shou ld I c a r e how other people feel? Will the path I have chosen actually lead to happiness and fulfillment? To be or not to be? Of course, this is not a definitive list but just a few to get you started questioning everything.

“This is the time to critically examine your deepest beliefs and values to see if they hold up under scrutiny.”

“As for sexually explicit art, you can still express sexual themes that aren’t explicit.”

“I think figure is artistic and there’s nothing wrong with nude figures. But a figure’s actions can make it easy to cross the line,” McNamara said. “It takes a more mature mind to understand this art but administrators should still watch the site more carefully.” Adrienne Johnston, a junior in design and textile technology, said there is a difference between naked and the nude, and there is a very fine line between them. This is why the topic is controversial. “I once heard an artist describe how he viewed the difference in which nakedness is you getting out of the bath; the nude is a category that is created for us in art. If the site already has rules in place, then I think they should go back and enforce them,” Johnston said. Kathleen Reider, an assistant professor of art and design, said she is all for artistic freedom. “But in design, there comes responsibility,” Reider said. “Let’s draw an example from Half the Sky; the subjects in the book are hard to depict but when people are dehumanized, it’s a problem. I think it’s commendable to educate people about this aspect.” Reider knows what it comes down to, and it’s simply to spread the word. Even though art is free expression, an effort is being made by many users to help clean up the clutter. Anyone with a deviantART account can report obscene images and in some instances encourage the ban of abusive users. Students at N.C. State have spoken and the verdict is in. The art world does have standards -- even in a subject as atypical as nudity – and students know where to draw the line between art and trash.

Best Coast album features mix of romantic vocals and cynicism

Pick

of the week

Best Coast

“Crazy For You” Mexican Summer

Michael Jones WKNC DJ

Every once in a while you stumble across a band that perfectly defines a specific type of music, and with Best Coast’s debut Crazy For You, they prove that they are one of those bands. Best Coast has debuted with a stellar entry into a surfer rock genre that has seemed to dominate much of the indie rock music scene over the past year. The band has gone so far to describe their sound as a girl lying on the beach in the 1990s wearing a bathing suit from the 50s. Best Coast is the musical collaboration between vocalist Bethany Cosentino, multiinstrumentalist Bobb Bruno and their touring drummer Ali Koehler. Coming out of Los Angeles, California, Best Coast has produced immense hype, recently being named the best new band of 2010 by

the British publication NME, and are also set to play at this year’s Hopscotch Music Festival in downtown Raleigh this September. The band kicks off their album just as you might expect. The starry-eyed, love-longing vocals of Cosentino come out in their best fashion with the track Boyfriend. Cosentino emphasizes her desire for a man and her contempt for another woman vying for his attention. “If I could only get her out of the picture / T hen he would know how much I want him,” demonstrates her love for this guy she desires to return her love. Finally, toward the end of the fantastic track, Cosentino dives into some of the more dreamy elements of Best Coast when she thinks up a series of romantic and beautiful activities they would share. The entire album is not compiled solely of sweet, romantic songs. The title track Crazy For You demonstrates Cosentino’s push-pull tendencies toward her significant other when she delivers the lyrics, “I want to

hit you then I kiss you / Want to kill you then I miss you.” Bordering on sentiments that ref lect both insecurity and defiance, she is consistently second-guessing herself. Best Coast is able to capitalize on their marijuana-influenced, beach pop tunes with their track The End. This slick entry into the album shows the appearance of being laidback—yet somehow worried— about the relationships that Cosentino describes throughout the album. Each track app e a r s to be a unique entry into a specific feeling that the B e st C oa st is getting across in a way that creates diversity and breeds excellence. Songs like Goodbye demonstrate the band’s ability to dip into the harshest areas of cynicism, while Bratty B shows that she can change in order to be with her loved one once again. As the album comes to a close, Best Coast delivers track after track that show Cosentino second-guessing and coming to frustrating conclusions about wanting to be with this mys-

tery man. However, she seems to acknowledge forces outside of her control are preventing them from being together. At the end of the day, Best

Coast’s Crazy For You provides a stand-out entry into a surfer rock genre that may seem oversaturated to some, and if hitting the top 40 for an inde-

pendent band’s debut record proves anything, it is that they have the potential to be one of the next big names in pop.

Gregg Museum of Art and Design unveils new displays The museum offers an array of mid-century modern architecture, furniture, textiles and art.

This Fall at the Gregg

Unless otherwise noted, all events are free and open to the public.

Fine Arts Editor & Correspondent

Modernism at its core is all about the consumer. Emphasizing affordability and function, the movement met the need for cost-effective housing which became crucial to returning World War II veterans and their budding families. Not only did Modernism provide a simplistic approach to design, specifically tailored to the needs of the consumer, but it also proved itself practical in its ability to be mass produced. Matt Gay, art preparator for the Gregg Museum, said, “not only was [Modernism] well-designed for the human being; it was aesthetically pleasing and simple.” Gay said a year ago the museum had a hole in their exhibition schedule for the foundations gallery, so the staff was split into two different groups and each had to come up with exhibition ideas.  “Ended up whoever’s idea we thought worked better would be the one we would do. My/our idea was more feasible right now, so I was charged with being curator of exhibit,” Gay said. “We had the stuff in the collection, it’s very pertinent to NCSU because of the College of Design and how that really affected Raleigh and the southeast as a whole. A lot of people really find that time period, in terms of design, interesting. People either love it or hate it.” Modernist design was so popular due to its accessibility and attention to people’s needs, Gay said. “It’s very different from what had been traditionally done in the past. It was sort of a new era and I think people liked the simplicity and that it could be mass produced. The fact that it was easily available to a lot of people if you had the money,” Gay said. “The past traditions ruled over how design was made and in terms of modern design that didn’t really hold true anymore.” Modernism has had a leading effect on contemporary design in that it set a new standard for principles of form-following function and aesthetics. Gay added, “Modernism was the beginning stages of this new design movement; contemporary design has polished and perfected Modernism.” Modernism can be credited not only as a major influence in contemporary design, but also for its part in shaping the N.C. State College of Design.

Gregg Museum’s exhibit Southern Roots of Mid-Century Modern will show examples of mid-century modern furniture, textiles, ceramics and design through the capsule of a modernist home, and tell the story of how the modern design movement made its way into North Carolina

The exhibition features elements of N.C. State history in its display of works by past NCSU professors, including Henry Matsumoto, George Matsumoto, Duncan Stuart, James Fitzgibbons and Edward “Terry” Waugh. As a prominent factor in the early days of the University’s College of Design, architecture has a particularly special history shown in the exhibit. When Chancellor Harrelson was given funding from the G.I. Bill, he recruited Kamphoefner from Oklahoma State University along with this team of four architects: Stuart, Fitsgibbons, Waugh and Matsumoto. The exhibit features aspects of modernism as seen not only in architecture, but also in furniture and textiles. Some key pieces in the exhibition, according to Gay, are George Nakashima pieces. “Nakashima was a master craftsman of Japanese carpentry and his design in terms of modern design is more the organic side than the manufacturing side,” Gay said. In his time, George Nakashima was a renowned furniture designer who can be celebrated for his mastery of Japanese woodworking. “In Two-Plank Dining Room Table With Turned Legs Nakashima leaves the free form edges to show you how nature shaped the wood instead of how man shaped the wood,” Gay said. When you walk into the exhibit the pieces are arranged as if they were in real rooms, with

During the middle of the 20th Century, city centers across the United States were deciphering what “good design” was, and architects and product designers were redefining what homes and objects looked like. Although common in Los Angeles, New York and Chicago, designers broke the norm when they decided to follow Henry Kamphoefner to the unlikely design hub of Raleigh, North Carolina. It was here that some of the world’s greatest designers of this period found themselves teaching or lecturing at the newly formed School of Design at N.C. State.

modern accessories and paintings. On one couch sits a set of two pillows featuring vintage Marimekko fabric. Armi Ratia’s company, Marimekko, began in 1951 with a collection of dresses made from fabric printed in her husband’s oilcloth factory. Ratia’s designs became popular in 1960 when Jackie Kennedy wore several of the brand’s dresses during her husband’s presidential campaign. The exhibit’s retro vibe, ar-

ray of pieces and importance in the history of design make it well worth the time to visit. On display from now until the end of the semester, there will

be a reception Sept. 9 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the museum where students are welcome to attend and enjoy free food and delightful design.

But for longtime Wolfpack coach George Tarantini, the team’s second half performance left some major question marks on the table. “We have to get organized, be ready to play,” Tarantini said. “I thought we accomplished this for 45 minutes, (it was) a good effort. The second 45 minutes, except for the goals we scored, I think we need to be more prepared, but with time and experience we will accomplish that.” Although the exhibition

games were signif icant chances for the incoming freshmen, Tarantini said inexperience wasn’t the main concern in facing difficult opponents the first several weeks of the season. “This is the ACC,” Tarantini said. “There’s no freshmen, sophomores, or seniors. You have to go there and compete and we will try and be ready to play.” The men’s soccer team won’t play again until next Friday evening against the Hornets of Sacramento State.

That is something that has to get better for us. We have been working every day. The scrimmage just reinforces what we were thinking. It’s a continuous process that you never really get perfect at; you just have to

do it all the time.” Excited for this upcoming tournament, the girls look forward to playing their hardest and showing everyone what this new mixture of players and coaches has to offer. The tournament will begin Friday at 2 p.m. against Eastern Kentucky, followed by a match against Coppin State at 5 p.m. The tournament will conclude on Saturday at 2 p.m. with the final match against Western Carolina.

Argiroff said the players have been focusing on working as a team this week in practice. “We just have to remember how well we played together and how well we played off the bench,” Argiroff said. “We have to keep that confidence that we can finish, and we have just got to keep moving forward in the next game.” The Pack will not have much recovery time between games this weekend, as it squares off Sunday against the UNCCharlotte 49ers in another

State hangs on for exhibition victory Pack starts four freshmen in final exhibition match Sean Fairholm

Press conference held to announce internal investigation

Correspondent

Tyler Everett Sports Editor

UNC’s Chancellor Holden Thorp, Athletics Director Dick Baddour and football coach Butch Davis held a press conference at 7:30 p.m. Thursday to discuss ‘possible misconduct’ involving studentathletes and a former tutor. The tutor in question was once employed by Butch Davis’s family, according to Davis. Thursday’s press conference was the latest development in an NCAA scandal that began when reports first surfaced July 19. The conference consisted of statements by Baddour, Davis and Thorp, followed by questioning from local reporters. Baddour described the measures UNC is taking in its internal investigation. “We are conducting our review vigorously and aggressively,” Baddour said. “We will get to the bottom of this. Our process is very detailed and methodical. Professor Jack Evans and professor Lissa Broome, former and current faculty athletic representatives, are leading the review from the University side. John Blanchard, senior associate athletic director for student affairs, and Lance Markos from our compliance staff, as well as representatives from the university’s legal council, are part of the team we have looking into this.

Pack looks to keep rolling against High Point Panthers Women’s soccer takes field Friday night with hopes of continuing success

Samantha Collier The volleyball team will travel to Western Carolina Friday to play Eastern Kentucky, Coppin State and Western Carolina over the weekend. These three games will represent the Pack’s first regular season action of the year. With a new coach in Bryan Bunn and a new group of girls, sophomore setter Megan Cyr said the team is excited to see how its hard work and practice will pay off. “I am really excited, I think we have been working hard for the past couple weeks and preseason and I think we have a lot to show people,” Cyr said. “We are finally excited to get the chance to play someone other than ourselves.” With only eight of the 18 players on the roster returning and only three seniors, there is a lot of change regarding the dynamics of how the team will play. Bunn said he is still trying out different lineups to find the best combination of players to maximize the skill on the court. “With so many new people we are still trying to figure out what works best,”

We’ll be ready for them,” Kansaye said. While Kansaye was the only freshman who scored out of those competing for starting jobs, it was Sutherland who contributed the most towards the victory. The junior transfer from Midwestern State knotted

Bunn said. “We see some of the people that are doing well in practice, but we need to put them in game situations to see who is going to perform under pressure. The pressure is on right now. We are trying out a lot of different lineups, but we really haven’t determined who are best players are. We are going to have to compete some with outside people to figure out who is going to do the job better.” Right now, Bunn is looking to start Megan Cyr as setter, senior Alex Smith opposite her, and juniors Becah Fogle and Luciana Shafer as outside hitters. Junior Margaret Salata,

freshman Brie Merriwether and senior Jana Angel are all fighting for middle hitter. Nothing, however, is set. Angel said every girl on the team constantly works hard for the opportunity to play, as each has to earn every minute on the court. “We have a lot of really experienced girls,” Angel said. “I had really only played two years before I got here and a lot of the other girls were really inexperienced as well. Now we have a really good base of transfers and we have a
