University breaks ground on new library University celebrates groundbreaking of Hunt Library, Centennial’s silver anniversary Adair-Hayes Crane Staff Writer

The University broke ground on the new James B. Hunt Jr. Library Friday as state and University leaders gathered to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Centennial Campus. Chancellor Jim Woodward kicked off the celebration by showing a video focusing on N.C. State’s Centennial Campus and introducing UNC System President Erskine Bowles, Sen. Kay Hagan, Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton, Student Body President Jim Ceresnak

and former Gov. Jim Hunt, for whom latest in technology, showcase the research achievements of the University, the library is named. During his four terms as gover- house the Institute for Emerging Isnor, Hunt founded the Institute for sues and provide a place for students to study and work. Emerging Issues “This library at N.C.

The Hunt Library will feature the the summer of 2012.

“This isn’t about me. This is about us – about North Carolina..”

Hunt, who received a standing ovation upon greeting the crowd, spoke of his pride for Centennial Campus and his hope for the future of N.C. State. “I am so proud of this Centennial Campus. We’re proud of where we are today but we’re not even beginning to be satisfied, because we know what we can be,” Hunt said. “This isn’t about me. This is about us – about North Carolina.” The University hopes the library will provide a place for students and researchers to come together to work towards the future as, according to Bowles, Centennial Campus has done. “Centennial Campus is a world class model of how to bring researchers, businessmen, government and

students together,” Bowles said. “The heart of any great university is its library and the Hunt Library will symbolize the tremendous good Hunt has done for North Carolina.” The construction of the new library will take about two years to complete, but students already have high hopes for it. “I am really excited and I am looking forward to having an even more innovative library to use,” Kaylyn Mitman, a sophomore in textiles, said. Ceresnak closed the celebration by recognizing the former governor and expressing his excitement about the library on behalf of the student body. “We will be better because of you, Gov. Hunt,” Ceresnak said.

Brickyard protest of Talley first for Coalition State Fair concludes successful week Coalition of student voices claim ‘democracy is dead’ Alanna Howard Staff Writer

Friday the Brickyard was host to students protesting the Student Senate’s endorsement of the student center renovation fee increase as the Coalition for Student Voices sought to spread awareness of its cause. Spokesperson for the Coalition, Daniel Marcus, said the point of the protest was to create momentum toward understanding the process that has allowed the student center fee increase to move forward. “We are forming together to fight the broader issue of holding the administration responsible for not informing students of what they were voting for and why concerned students are not getting answers, since Student Government is not,” he said. After handing out fliers and talking to students, the protestors moved to Holladay Hall to speak with Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Tom Stafford. Coalition spokesperson Vidya Sankar said the protestors gave Stafford direct questions and conveyed their point but he consistently dodged questions. “The Coalition expressed their concerns, but were not given comprehensive answers and were instead redirected to other administrators who were not reachable at that time,” she said. “We asked him where Campus Enterprises raised the $10,000 and what it was going to but he didn’t give us a real source. We want to know how to contact Campus Enterprises and that has never been provided.” Stafford could not be reached at his office Friday evening. The Coalition said the campaign has not provided specifics about where the money came from, signs for the campaign did not provide information about how much fees would be raised and the way administration informed students was with a technique called “astroturfing.”

Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Tom Stafford talks to protesters in the Chancellor’s office in Holiday Hall Friday afternoon. Around 15 students gathered at the Brickyard before marching to Holiday Hall to voice their grievances over the Tally Fee referendum.

According to Sankar, the primary reason for the protest was to ensure the University’s administration and Board of Trustees listen to the voices of students. “The Coalition plans on ensuring that those in power keep the interests of students above other interests, such as administrative politics and corporate profits,” she said. Marcus supplemented by saying the process of the Talley campaign is the current focus. “Our goal is to uncover how and why the process happened the way it did, a process that should be easily available to students and it is not,” Marcus said. Sen. Sam Daughtry said he agrees with that mission. He voted against recommending the Talley fee to the administration, and has said he is looking into the source of the funding of the Talley campaign. “We, as a senate, have requested budget sheets from the Rally 4 Talley people and still have yet to see them,” he said.

dent, represents older students who have not applied to a college – also known as non-traditional students. He said these students typically pay more in student fees because they spend longer on degrees since they are not full-time students. “My constituents have families to support and are working while they go to school and they voted no because the fees were going to be too high for them to pay,” he said. “They voted no, so I voted no.” Student Senate held an open forum Wednesday for students to voice their opinions about the vote, but few students showed.

The N.C. State fair ended Sunday after a successful week regardless of the economy. According to Taylor Balick, junior in chemical engineering, the state fair seemed to be a boost to the local economy. “The state fair definitely brings a lot of attention to Raleigh and does a good job of bringing people into town,” Balick said. “Even though people do not have a lot of spending money, they bring what they have and they spend most of it. A lot of the small businesses have already bought their supplies so they end up with pure profit.”

Obama declares swine flu outbreak a national emergency President Barack Obama on Saturday declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency, a procedural step designed to allow health-care providers to speed treatment and slow the spread of the disease. The action gives Kathleen Sebelius, Health and Human Services secretary, temporary authority to grant waivers that would expedite steps such as setting up off-site emergency rooms to treat potential flu victims apart from other patients. Administration officials said the move was not made because of any particularly troubling development, but as a pre-emptive measure to ensure that the tools for a quick response are in place.

California’s fight over gay marriage moves to Maine A year ago, Robin and Robb Wirthlin went to Riverside Wesleyan Church in Sacramento, Calif., to warn Californians about what they feared might happen if gay marriage remained legal in the state. The Mormon couple from Massachusetts, who also were featured in television advertisements in California, said they were horrified after gay marriage was legalized in their own state. Now the Wirthlins are carrying the same message on television ads in Maine, where voters will decide the fate of gay marriage in their state on Nov. 3. The Maine vote is the first in the nation on same-sex marriage since Californians voted to reject gay marriage last November. So California’s long fight over same-sex marriage has moved temporarily to New England, where many of the same players are slugging it out, often using the same strategies that worked so well for opponents in the Golden State.

{OUR VIEW}

THE FACTS:

The Athletics Commission proposed allocating some of the student seats at the UNC-Chapel Hill game to general admission; a portion of the funds raised would go to the Finish the Bell Tower campaign.

OUR OPINION:

Donating money from ticket sales — especially for seats that probably would have sat empty anyway — is a great idea. The Athletics Commission must ensure that all proceeds from the sales go to the campaign or another charitable cause.

Donate it all

he football game against UNC-Chapel Hill falls during Thanksgiving break this year. Under normal circumstances, the game would draw a massive student audience and fill the six student sections at Carter-Finley Stadium to capacity. Games over Thanksgiving break have historically resulted in significantly lower student attendance and present problems for Athletics, as it struggles to fill the stands. To remedy that issue, the Athletics Commission has proposed selling some of the student section seats and giving a portion of the proceeds to the Finish the Bell Tower cam-

paign. This approach is astute, as is the committee’s decision to set aside 6,400 student tickets despite attendance statistics during previous years — this is the Chapel Hill game after all. Students should come in increased numbers from previous years and provide the jam-packed, competitive, atmosphere the rivalry deserves. Likewise, selling some of the student seats to energized alumni will ensure the stadium is rocking after every score during the Wolfpack’s upcoming victory against Carolina.

The troubling part about the committee’s announcement is that only a portion of the funding will go toward the Finish the Bell Tower campaign. It is understandable if Athletics keeps a small portion of the money raised to cover its overhead caused by selling the tickets, but almost all the money should be donated. Students’ Athletics fees cover the cost of student tickets and enable the student body to go to see games “for free.” If Athletics sells some of the tickets, it must be doing it on behalf of the students and not for any

sort of gain to its bottom line. The Athletics Commission did its job in identifying the issue with break ticketing and coming up with a solution that serves students’ interests. Now, Athletics must be held accountable for the funds it raises through the ticket sales and donate all proceeds to the Finish the Bell Tower campaign or some other worthy charitable cause students’ representatives in Student Government arrange with the committee. The ticket sales are a great idea, but students must make sure the money raised is properly utilized and not sent to the Athletics slush fund.

It’s a scam, I tell ya

et me start by apologizing for my column the Monday students returned after Fall Break; I bemoaned the “death of democracy” and tried to stoke populist anger against t he St udent Senate. I still maintain that the senators improperly read and manipulated the vote Russell when they formulated Witham Viewpoint Editor their recommendation to the Board of Trustees and University Fee Committee, but that isn’t the real issue here. Before the fee review process began, long before the bogus referenda, Chancellor Jim Woodward sat down for an explanatory discussion with Paul McCauley and myself. I didn’t think much of the roundtable discussion at the time (let the record state the Chancellor’s office table is actually oval), but I’m starting to get pretty riled up when I think back on it. He laid out his vision for the fee increases this year and explained why — in his opinion — the Talley-Atrium renovation project was essential to N.C. State. In the next week or so, the chancellor issued his fee recommendations. Perhaps this is the way the fee process works at UNC-Charlotte, but at NCSU the fee process has historically ended with the chancellor, not begun with him — this is definitely the way it worked under Chancellor James Oblinger. Kelli Rogers, president of the Student Senate, told me she could not recall a time in the past when the chancellor had given such explicit instructions for the fee review process before it began. He tainted the system of student and administration input before the University Fee Committee even had its first meeting. In fact, several campus departments changed their fee requests to the committee after seeing the chancellor’s suggestions. It’s not exactly corruption, but the chancellor stifled debate and thoughtful discourse on the proposed fees. Rogers, who co-chaired the University Fee Committee, said she found the proposal helpful and claimed it helped the groups requesting fees cut down to what was realistic and important. Essentially, Woodward set forth a proposal with

a 6.5-percent fee increase of the things he thought were imperative and the University followed suit. Rogers’ point would be fair, except that it is the committee’s job, not the chancellor’s, to decide which fees are important and whether fee requests have merit; hence why the committee is composed of administrators and students from different areas of the University and not the chancellor. The committee was with Woodward’s proposal from the beginning and stood up to him by sending back a proposal that was a dollar different than the one he proposed, shocking. The only difference was that the Education and Technology Fee, the only one students resoundingly approved on the illegitimate referenda, was reduced by a dollar — the committee split it between the Union Activities Board and student publications. I’ve stopped paying attention to the protestors and the committees now, they have no real inf luence. McCauley hit the nail on the head in his column two weeks ago; democracy was never here to begin with. Now, the chancellor gets to take his rubber-stamped proposal — that supposedly has the support of the students behind it — to the Board of Trustees for approval. If it approves the recommendation, Woodward gets to sell students’ souls to the Board of Governors. It’s really likely to turn his proposal down seeing that the UNC-System President Erskine Bowles — who effectively dictates BOG policy — personally selected Woodward for the interim chancellorship at the University. Students, faculty, staff and alumni must understand that the referenda and the entire fee process had been a scam. The only real hope of changing the Talley-Atrium indebtedness fee is to lobby any state representative who will hear you out. The General Assembly has the final say on all indebtedness fees and is the only step in this ridiculous chain that isn’t under Bowles and Woodward’s foot. Send Russell your thoughts on the review process and Woodward’s effect on it to letters@ technicianonline.com.

Myths about cold weather

n less you have been living under a rock, you know the weather is starting to change. The stale humidity of the summer is coming to a close and t he cool breezes of fall are starting to emerge. Marlena I, for one, Wilson am happy Staff Columist about this change. I don’t have to walk around campus dripping like a leaky faucet. Along with the change in weather, myths about the cold come pouring in. Is cold weather as bad as many perceive it to be? One myth about cold weather is that you should blow on your fingers to keep your hands warm. This sounds like a good idea because your breath initially feels warm to your freezing fingers. In reality, the moisture (in exhaled air) may cause your skin to freeze or re-freeze. This increases the cold you already feel and may worsen your chances of getting frostbite. A better way to warm your hands involves putting them in your armpits or groin. Your body heat will slowly re-warm them. You may look questionable walking around campus with your hands in your groin, but it’s a

small price to pay for much needed warmth. Another popular myth is that drinking alcohol will help you stay warm. Actually, alcohol dilates your blood vessels. This then increases blood flow to the top of your skin and away from the core of your body (including your brain). The heat you crave will be radiated away from the body. So now you cannot use shielding yourself from cold weather as an excuse to drink excessive amounts of alcohol. The biggest myth about cold weather involves the old saying “You better bundle up or you’ll catch a cold!” As a child, my family members would coerce me into wearing layers of shirts, sweats and big puffy coats in order to keep me from getting a cold. The truth is that it doesn’t matter how well you bundle up when it comes to catching a cold. Bacteria and viruses are the ones that cause upper respiratory ailments, not the cold air. The air causes these illnesses to spread. Basically, colds are obtained by being close to someone (who happens to have a cold) that coughs or sneezes. Colds do not occur because you are

IN YOUR WORDS

cold. As the cold weather approaches, you can do certain things to make this fall season more enjoyable. Buying a humidifier will moisturize the air, which may be dried by your dorm or apartment’s heater. This can help with eye irritation and chapped skin. Vaseline helps prevent wind-burned cheeks; putting a thin layer of Vaseline or petroleum jelly on your face will lock in moisture and stop a good number of the negative effects of cold weather. Wearing winter accessories such as scarves, hats, earmuffs and coats can also make your experience with cold weather easier. In reality, cold weather is not that dangerous. In extreme cases you can develop hypothermia, but I’m sure you will not have to worry about that here in Raleigh. Myths about cold weather will live on for a long time, but do your part to be educated about the facts. As long as you know you can’t catch a cold from the cold you are on the right track.

“Unless you have been living under a rock, you know the weather is starting to change.”

Stylin’ in the Brickyard Story By meredith faggart | photos By Marisa Akers

ashion comes in all shapes, sizes and budgets. While college can put a strain on pocket strings, students are still able to rock out with fashion despite these barriers. Check back each Monday to see another stylish student spotted in the Brickyard.

Prateek Srinivasamurthy, a freshman in biomedical engineering, stops in the Brickyard on a Friday afternoon. “I’m kinda going for the skater boy look, but, once in a while, I’ll just look normal, whatever that means,” Srinivasamurthy said. For him, living at home and lifeguarding at the YMCA help keep his wardrobe budget flexible. “I try to keep a wishlist so I know what I buy and how much it costs.”

to the season and I can’t wait to see what the rest of the season holds.” Overall, the women came back from 14 point deficit in the second half with help from a close race by Dason, who won her race by 2/100 of a second, and Linkenauger’s and Kopenitz’s second and third place finish in the 200 individual medley. Going into the last relay the Pack was only a few points behind, but a win from the A and B relay put the Pack ahead of Duke. Head coach Brooks Teal walked away proud of both teams. “Both teams fought hard all the way through and raced

with a lot of intensity,” Teal said. “I was very pleased with how they performed and was excited to come away with the three wins.” For the men’s team, Freshman Hudson Rains diving performance in the 1-meter dive (301.95) qualified him for the NCAA diving zones. Senior Mason McGee took first in both the 1000 freestyle (9:35.22) and 200 freestyle (1:39.86). Freshman Matt Voell won his college debut event in the 100 butterfly with a 50.18, while junior Mike Seiferth’s 50.89 placed him in third. “We started off by winning the first relay which was really big, and it put some momentum on our side,” McGee said. “A lot of people stepped up and there was a lot of excitement and confidence throughout the meet.”

Coming into the race, most of the team’s focus was on conditioning, so Teal said it will work more on technique in practice now that the season is underway. Despite walking away with three wins, coach Teal says there are some improvements that can still be made. “The team’s turns and racing strategy needs some work,” Teal said. “Racing strategy will get better as we compete more, and the turns are something that the coaches need to be more attentive to in practice so they can be perfected.” The women will be back in the pool this Saturday, Oct. 31 at 11 a.m. at home against Richmond and both teams will compete at Davidson Saturday, Nov. 7.

scoreless first half against Miami, the Hurricanes’ Lauren Singer scored in the 66th minute. But depth player Kristina Argiroff scored the first goal of her collegiate career to tie the score less than 30 seconds later. Argiroff, a sophomore, was playing in only her second game of the season. Her shot found its way into the top-left corner of the goal from 30 yards out. In the 98th minute, freshman Kara Blosser was whistled for her second yellow of the game and was tossed out of the contest. The Pack was forced to play the entire rest of overtime down a man. “Unfortunately for us, we didn’t give ourselves a great chance to win the game when we had to play a man down in overtime. At that point, we were trying to at least to get out of there with a tie,” Springthorpe said. Two days and a f light to Tallahassee later, Florida State pelted State with scoring opportunities, outshooting the Pack 16-3 and forcing Kim Kern to make nine saves. The Pack escaped the first half unscathed, but one three minute stretch sealed the game for Florida State. The Seminoles’ Jessica Price scored on a header off a cross from teammate Ines Jaurena in the 63rd minute for her to bring the score to 1-0. A few minutes later, FSU’s Tiffany McCarty added an insurance goal. McCarty

grabbed the ball and fired a low shot past Kern into the net for her 13th goal of the season. Springthorpe said although the effort was there, the team was bested by a superior Florida State team. “We just really could not muster much attack,” Springthorpe said. “The game was very different for us in that FSU really took it to us. We couldn’t play our style of game. We just flat-out got beaten by a much better team.” The team is now faced with a must-win game against Duke

Sunday, which will also act as Senior Day, but it may not do the team any good. “It’s not entirely out of our hands, but our destiny is not entirely in our hands at this point,” Ruiz said. “It’s not a fun place to be.” So for all the positive strides the team has made this year, settling outside the ACC tournament will not sit well with those who will not have another shot at it.

Volleyball falls at Miami

Swimming and diving teams opens in College Park over weekend

The volleyball team lost its match to Miami on Sunday. The Pack dropped all three sets and brought its record to 7-18 and 0-10 in the ACC. Statistically, senior outside hitter Keri DeMar led the team with eight kills, while sophomore middle blocker Margaret Salata followed with six kills and three blocks.

N.C. State’s men and women swimming and diving team traveled to College Park, Md. Saturday where the teams took on ACC rivals Duke and Maryland. The men defeated both teams; Duke by a score of 171-129 and Maryland 198-102. Meanwhile the women’s team beat Duke 155-143, but fell to Maryland by 58 points. In total, the women’s roster put up four all-time top ten times, including three individual wins from freshman Marifrances Henley, junior Jen Kopenitz, and sophomore Morgan Robertson. Kopenitz, Jessica Ward, sophomore Megan Thompson, and Henley placed second in the 400-medley relay with a 3:50.26. Henley won the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:50.78, tying the

The Pack took to the road this weekend, tying Miami 1-1 and dropping a contest to No. 7 Florida State two days later. Tying an ACC team, a feat the squad achieved only once in its past two seasons, should have been seen as a positive for the team, especially considering the team was down a player in overtime. However, unranked Miami also has aspirations of snagging a low seed in the ACC tournament, so the tie did not allow the Pack to gain any ground. A loss to No. 7 Florida State Sunday, while expected, upped the level of desperation even further.

Miami and State are clustered with Virginia around the 8-seed spot and all three have aspirations of creating an upset in the ACC tournament, which will take place November 4-8 at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C. The top eight teams in the conference will compete. Coach Steve Springthorpe said the team was banking on Miami losing to North Carolina, but the Hurricanes upset the Tar Heels, 1-0, Sunday. It was the highest-ranked opponent Miami had ever beaten. A win by either club Friday also would have made given either team some breathing room, but now, according to Ruiz, wins against Frances Marion Thursday and Duke Sunday are more crucial than ever. “The games against Frances Marion and Duke are mustwins, and even then we have to hope for teams to lose and tie for us to have a chance to advance,” Ruiz said. The Pack tried to get a jump on that track this weekend on its Florida road swing. After a
