Concert-goers take out wallets, take in U2 Beyond tickets, merchandise adds to cost of experience Kate Shefte Sports Editor

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 Saturday. Over 60,00 people entered the stadium for the show, which Muse opened.

Students from as far away as Clemson flocked to see U2 in its first performance in Raleigh Saturday night at Carter-Finley Stadium. Many took advantage of $30 tickets in the upper stands or took their places on the floor in the “Red Zone,” where they were treated to band members strumming instruments right above their heads as the 360 tour stage rotated above them. The iconic band from Dublin drew devoted fans who grew up with U2 and those who just wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Muriel Webb, a senior in business administration, said she has been a U2 fan almost all her life. “It was the best concert I’ve been to,” Webb said. “It was worth the money. I would do it again a thousand times.” Zach Howard, a senior in materials engineering, said the stage design 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. Chelsea Robertson and Nathan Maher, both seniors in mechanical engineering, scalped their tickets in the parking lot right before the show started and paid slightly more than face value, which Maher said was “reasonable.” Both went for the concert’s opening band, British trio Muse. “We went for Muse and U2 was just

kind of a bonus,” Maher said. Robertson said she was pleasantly surprised to hear Muse live. “They definitely lived up to my expectations,” Robertson said. “The music on their CDs is always really complicated and I was worried they wouldn’t be able to keep up with it live, but they did a good job.” Howard said he was far more interested in the internationally-acclaimed headliners. He enjoyed the music he grew up listening to and took in the message the group conveyed. “[Bono] wrote a story one time. He recognized that he had so much power at these things, and he could either use it or not,” Howard said. “It’s pretty cool to see somebody who has that much power and knows what he wants to do with it – he wants to do good things with it.” The tickets were pricey, but with food and merchandise factored into the equation, experiencing U2 turned out to be an expensive night out for students. Tour-specific T-shirts and sweatshirts sold for $40 and $75, respectively. Cheaper posters sold out at several stands before either set started. Kelly Hughes, a freshman in mathematics education, said a $40 T-shirt would not fit into her personal budget. She took a look at prices and walked away. “For a T-shirt? No way,” Hughes said. “I was thinking about it when I came into the show, because it’s U2 and I wanted something to remember it by, but I have a ticket stub and that’s good enough.” Hughes went to a concert featuring The Fray recently and spent $25 on a T-shirt, and said that was her limit.

Hillsborough construction affects Wolfline service

18th annual dog olympics benefits local rescue groups

Saturday the College of Veterinary Medicine sponsored the 18th annual Dog Olympics in Moore Square in downtown Raleigh. This was the Olympics’ first year in the downtown park as in years past it was held on the Vet School grounds or at the University Club. The charitable event benefits area rescue groups while promoting responsible dog ownership. Event Coordinator Bobbi McQuown said there were complications with both past locations for this year’s event. “There was no shade at the University Club and the Vet School is currently under construction so we looked other places,” she said. Vet school sophomore Sara h Gunderson thinks the new location is the reason for a much bigger turnout. “This year I’m really excited by the turnout, I think the venue had a lot to do with it,” she said. The weather was another reason turnout was high, according to the President of the Carolina Border Collie Rescue group, Nancy Solum. This was the group’s fourth year attending and no complaints about the sun and cool temperature. “Moore Square is a beautiful location and the weather complimented it perfectly. This is a great facility and I’m glad the coordinators decided to move it here this year,” she said. The turnout was higher than expected and McQuown said she received positive feedback from the attendants. McQuown the new vendors and added rescue groups brought more people out. “We have two more rescue groups this year and some new informational booths. I think this is the growth and

more than 550 dogs during that time. The Clinic expected to insert chips in more than 100 dogs on Saturday. “We are involved because it helps a lot of dogs in a small period of time and by providing this service free of charge they can drive their proceeds back into the community,” he said. The American Kennel Club also attended. They sponsor the dog agility trials and introduced a mix breed membership program. Overall the event was a success according to Coordinator McQuown. “Anything that promotes human and animal bonding and brings out people with their dogs is a success,” she said.

With Hillsborough Street construction well under way, the Wolfline has had to work around many obstacles to provide reliable services to students. Current changes to the regular service include eliminating stops at D.H. Hill Library and Patterson Hall. Street and lane closings have also forced Wolfline operators to use alternate streets. Transportation University Program Associate Kim Paylor said the Wolf line will have to adapt to construction as it happens. She said the schedule and routing alterations are sometimes done with less than a week’s notice from construction crews. “The Hillsborough Street project is going to be going on for a little over a year,” Paylor said. “We have to reroute based on what they’re doing at a particular time. I can’t say today what changes we will make in January and February.” Paylor said students should join the Wolfline listserv to receive up-to-date information about changes. “What we’ve tried to do is make sure decisions we’ve had to make abruptly have been safe and haven’t had a great effect on students,” Paylor said. “We haven’t had a lot of complaints. We’ve done a good job letting students know about schedule

changes based on traffic changes and construction.” Debbie Friscia, a Wolfline bus driver for three years, said construction puts a lot of stress on drivers. “It’s a nightmare,” said Friscia. “It’s very stressful to drive down Hillsborough now. There are so many things to look out for, such as pedestrians, concrete barriers, [and] big machinery.” For many students, delays are the biggest hindrance. “Since they started, it’s very rare that we’re ever on time,” said Friscia. “Sometimes you sit in the street for five minutes.” Sara Cohen, a junior in food science, said she has avoided driving down Hillsborough Street this year because of the congestion caused by Wolfline buses. “You can tell buses are having a hard time making their way through construction,” Cohen said. “I’ve had to sit behind a bus for several minutes, just waiting until it could pass.” Waseen Ahmed, a junior is psychology, said delays have not affected her as much. “The only thing is that there are limited bus stops,” Ahmed said. Ahmed has classes near the Court of North Carolina, but has no access to bus stops near any of them. All previous Wolfline stops near her classes have been blocked because of construction. “When I get out of my classes I have to walk all the way to the library,” Ahmed saids.

Senior class to hold roundtable

For some, H1N1 flu shot a hard sell

The Senior Class Council is opening up the first Senior Class Roundtable for seniors in student organizations Tuesday from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Park Alumni Center on Centennial Campus, third floor. During the roundtable, discussions will take place about the Senior Class gift, red caps and gowns for the 2010 graduation ceremony, the Atrium expansion project, parking, new process of entering Carmichael Complex with student IDs and the Bell Tower project.

The first shipments of the new H1N1 flu vaccine will arrive soon, and Stephanie Pelach, who’s six months pregnant, will have a decision to make. Should she get a vaccine, approved only weeks ago, that has never been tested in pregnant women? Or take her chances with a flu strain that can be especially dangerous during pregnancy? Health officials say that pregnant women should be among the first to get the new vaccine. But they know it will be an uphill battle persuading some people — even those who are at high risk — to take it.

Obama did behind-thescenes lobbying for Chicago Olympics In the run-up to the Olympic vote, the White House was getting a clear message from the architects of Chicago’s bid: Balloting would be tight and a personal visit to Copenhagen from President Obama just might lock in a victory. Leaders of Chicago’s campaign for the 2016 Games had done some nose counting and were convinced the International Olympic Committee might well anoint Chicago as host, according

to White House officials interviewed Saturday. “The intelligence that we had from the U.S. Olympic Committee and Chicago bid team was that it was very close and therefore well worth our efforts,” said Valerie Jarrett, a senior White House adviser. SOURCE: MCTDIRECT.COM

As Senate panel winds up, historic health debate to start Both houses of Congress are poised to start a historic debate on sweeping legislation to overhaul America’s health care system, yet despite months of committee deliberations, some major issues remain unsettled. Early this week, the Senate Finance Committee is expected to take the last step that sets the stage for the full chamber’s debate when it votes on its version of a bill. Since the committee has a 1310 Democratic majority, and Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, may vote yes, approval is expected. However, the Senate Finance Committee also exposed sharp divisions among Democrats about the extent of government involvement in health insurance and how to pay for any changes, while Republicans are all but universally opposed to the Democrats’ terms.

REFERENDUM FINAL WORD ON TALLEY PROJECT LAST CHANCE FOR STUDENTS TO VOICE OPINION, DETERMINE FATE OF TALLEY PROJECT STORY BY HEIDI KLUMPE & NICK TRAN| GRAPHICS BY ANA ANDRUZZI

oday, students will be able to vote for the 2010-11 proposed student fee increases at vote.ncsu.edu. The process for approving fees begins with today’s student vote and continues tomorrow with a vote “[Today’s vote] is the last opportunity I know of for any student in the general population to give input,” said Tom Stafford, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs. The fees are limited by a cap which prevents fee increases from exceeding 6.5 percent each year.

Jim Woodward has insisted that the total fees should not exceed this cap, regardless of the type of fees are included. Woodward said this is an effort to make Talley more affordable and increase support, stressing the importance of the project. “We have the worst student union building in the state,” Woodward said. “If the student union building

is not the center of student life, it should be.” The project is presented as a package deal, including renovations to the Atrium Food Court as well as both renovating and expanding Talley Student Center.

A vote affirming the referendum will give University leaders conviction for their plan to spend millions of student fee dollars on the renovation, essentially reconstruction, of Talley Student Center and the Atrium.

student center is a place where students gather around good food, fun entertainment, great friends and new memories. It is the center of student life on campus — a place where students can enjoy interaction in a relaxed environment. It is a place where we bring visitors and incoming students — a place that enhances experiences and brings people together. A student center’s main purpose is to serve as the principal gathering place for a campus. We aim to reinstate that purpose at N.C. State through today’s Rally4Talley fee refer-

Transform student life

oday, students have the privilege and opportunity to vote on many measures. Many of you will be voting on crucial student legislation you still do not understand. The largest issue at hand is the Rally4Talley campaign. This is a wonderful idea that has great potential for N.C. State. However, it can have disastrous results for the student body, as it may reduce the number of returning or future students because of its high price tag. Students can agree that they want a nice student center — but now is not the time. You will hear rhetoric about “every year we wait will cost $10 million.” If that were true, Talley would cost $250 million based on those same unsubstantiated and vague

Theoretically, current students who send their children to N.C. State 25 years from now would pay for the building a second time. These are difficult economic times for families, the University and the nation as a whole.

cost of $120 million. The new space will centralize student life and build a sense of community, which Woodward said was essential to improving student morale and academics. “Connectedness keeps kids from dropping out,” Woodward said. “They grow socially and it expands their non-academic experience.” Woodward said this enhanced community will also continue to attract high caliber students, adding value to current student’s degrees. Kyle Bolton, a senior in computer and electrical science and member of a Facebook group of students opposed to the Talley project, think the Talley project should be delayed as it is not an essential for the University. “The economy is down. No one has the money,” Bolton said. “A lot of people are going to go broke for college next year.” Woodward said there is no perfect time for a project of this scale. “You can’t project what will happen. Once you start, you have got to do it,” he said. Woodward said now was the perfect time as construction costs would be low because of the downed economy. Bolton said fees would be better spent elsewhere, especially given the budget cuts affecting academic programs. “Unlike Harrelson Hall, [Talley’s] not like some of the buildings across campus that are falling apart,” Bolton said.

A surprising fact is that the fees you are voting on will vary in increase from 3 to 10 percent to a total of $738.13 from the current $696.13.

Unlike other fees which, students can vote to fund all, half, or none of, the Talley referendum will be an all-or-nothing fee for the entire five-year package. Rogers said if students vote no on the Talley project, she will insist that both the Senate and Finance Committee follow that vote. “It’s hard for the University to support something that the students don’t support,” Rogers said. “The Senate must stick with whatever the students vote and I will carry that vote all the way to the Board of Governors.” Woodward expressed similar support for the student vote. “If the referendum is interpreted as a rejection of the Talley proposal, I’m not going to do the project,” he said. “It’s got to be for students; it’s not for me.” Stafford said if the project is voted down, the 6.5 percent fee cap would not be filled this year by other fees, however, demand for projects like this and others will not go away. “Given the needs I know are out there, every single year the fee is going to come in pretty close to 6.5 percent,” Stafford said.

RANDALL

Thirty-seven years and 20,000 students later, Talley no longer serves the purpose for which it was originally created. Today, you have the opportunity to vote on the Atrium and Talley Student Center Renovation and Expansion Project. A vote in support of this project means that future students who entrust their education to NCSU will have a place to take visitors, a place to enjoy student life — an appropriate gathering place. I realize that it is difficult for many students to justify paying a fee for a building they may not utilize during their time as students. However, I challenge you to think of all the buildings and facilities you have enjoyed that were made possible by students and others before you. All of the buildings and traditions on campus that began before you came to the University are what make the bond among alumni who have walked this campus so strong. Imagine the University without Reynolds Coliseum, the Brickyard or the Bell Tower. Each of our unique landmarks serve campus differently, contributing to shared experiences and lifelong memories. As the University continues to grow in size and stature, it is critically important that it has the proper facilities to support student activity. Your contributions to this project will help your alma mater to continue serving the best interests of students. You have a unique opportunity, at a young age, to make your mark now by committing a portion of students’ fees to this project. You will be leaving behind a legacy for the future, and when you come back to campus, you can take pride in knowing that you made this campus better — made it a place that you can be proud to come home to.

The new Talley Student Center will enhance student life in ways beyond expanded lounge, dining and student organization space. Expanded retail options will translate into more on-campus jobs for students. University Dining’s ability to provide high-quality and reasonably priced dining options to students on both main and Centennial Campuses is contingent on the passing of this fee. Since the Atrium Food Court’s last renovation in 1985, revenue receipts have increased nearly eight-fold. Increased and improved dining options at Talley will help solve congestion during peak dining hours. The financial case for moving forward with this project is strong. Low interest rates and construction costs mean this project will be completed at the lowest possible expense to students. The major utility systems in Talley are terribly inefficient and at the end of their useful life. The fees students pay are currently being wasted due to excessive building maintenance and repair costs for Talley. It makes sense to invest in a LEED-certified facility that will operate more efficiently at a reasonable cost. Each year the University delays this project its cost will increase by nearly $10 million. Is it fair to pass this bur-

den to the students who will be at the University next year and the following? Students will have to pay more for the same project. I am willing to pay a fraction of a dollar per day so the University can build the facilities and provide the level of service that it desires to provide. In the first year of the fee schedule, students will be able to use an updated Atrium Food Court for $0.23 per day. The fee increases over the course of four years, but even once it reaches its maximum level, students will be paying only $0.80 per day. The fee schedule is structured in an equitable way; the fee a student pays directly correlates to the facilities and services he or she will enjoy. Previous students were asked to make the same sacrifices today’s students are being asked to make. Witherspoon Student Center and the Carmichael Recreation Center were funded by students who might not have used the facilities. Students should consider what this project will mean to future students and the University. Take pride in being a part of something that will benefit our generation and future generations of the Wolfpack nation.

food options, seating and efficient service. This project is scheduled to be completed by fall 2010 and will relieve lunch time congestion. Talley Student Center is woefully inadequate to serve current and projected enrollment and ranks at the bottom of our peer universities in terms of what it provides. We need to expand and enhance food service, lounge and recreational areas, bookstore and retail services, meeting space, space for student organizations, student activities and the arts. These enhancements will be accomplished through a major addition to the existing Talley, a complete renovation of the existing building, and demolition of the existing bookstore. The design of the building and the functions located within will result in a student center that will truly be the center of student life at the University. Students will want to go there and will be proud to bring their parents and friends there. The cost of completing this project will be significant. Like all student life facilities,

tomorrow. But this isn’t just a Student Government issue, the Talley project will have an impact on current and future students for years to come. Talley is old and outdated, that’s a given. But is this the right time to rebuild it? Ask yourself if this project is in the best interest of you and your fellow students and make your voice heard today.

it will depend on a debt service fee to finance the project. The facilities you benefit from today, such as Carmichael Complex, Student Health Service and Thompson Theater were all made possible thanks to the generosity and vision of your predecessors. This source of funding in no way compromises the money available to reduce class size, hire faculty or support new class sections. I can also assure you that your Student Government leaders have worked tirelessly with the University to lower this fee as much as possible. The presentation to the Fee Review Committee requested a debt service fee of $ 83 per year to begin in the fall of 2010, and then gradually increase over the next three years until it reaches $290 per year in the fall of 2013. I know that some students do not believe this is the right time to move forward with this fee. It is important to understand that delaying the project will have a very negative consequence: escalating construction costs will either cause the debt service fee to be higher than currently proposed, or we will end up with a facility significantly reduced in size and scope. Now is the time to support this much needed enhancement to student life at the University.

This source of funding in no way compromises the money available to reduce class size...”

dents’ fee votes should reflect this basic goal. Consider the alternative uses for this $2,075,000. For starters, we could put it towards our educations. The University has cut classes, increased class sizes and scaled back tutorial services on-campus. We could put this money towards undoing some of that damage, particularly for courses that students need to take in order to graduate on time. Or it could look to build some new space for classes large and small, which may facilitate the demolition of Harrelson Hall (which makes Talley look attractive and modern by comparison). We could put it towards improving graduate programs. As Jeff Braden, dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences put it, great schools didn’t earn their reputation from their undergraduate programs — they have superb graduate programs, which give them national and global renown. You want your degree to count for more when an employer looks at it, especially when it comes down to salary negotiations, right? Having the weight of an outstanding academic and research institution standing behind is what can make that happen, but it would take time to build that reputation. And unlike Talley, you will see that benefit. Or we may want to consider improving existing student services, particularly those which have a more direct benefit. Two of the big ones are health services and transit. After all, a sick student is one who is not (or at least should not be) in class, and a student who cannot

get to campus due to limited personal transportation is one who is going to be repeatedly marked “absent.” And while we may not be able to dramatically expand either system with $2 million and change, we can certainly start to make some improvements. So instead of a hospital on campus and monorail, we could see shorter waiting times to see medical providers and a few more routes with buses that aren’t quite as crowded. The bottom line is simple. In a time where the economy is still uncertain, particularly when the unemployment rate is at 9.8 percent and the University’s budget is crippled by mandatory cuts from the state, do we really want to start work that does little to benefit current students in the short run and contributes nothing to academics and research over the long run? The choice is simple. Vote yes for an $83 fee that will have minimal benefits for you as a student in the short and longterm, or vote no and demand that you get something that will benefit you now and give you something better than a bit of pride in a building 30 years from now. It’s that simple.

Students are planning to travel all over North Carolina, as well as outside of the state. Traces of fall weather have just started to appear in the past few weeks, so take advantage of the chance to breathe the fresh air. Or go the artsy route and visit a museum, art exhibit or festival. From the mountains to the beach, North Carolina has beautiful scenery and endless possibilities for things to do. Stacy R. Tomas, assistant professor and tourism extension specialist, encourages students to explore the state during fall break. “North Carolina is an incredibly diverse state that offers many unique opportunities,” Tomas said. “There’s really no need to go out of state for a fun trip.” Tomas recommends trips that support the state’s heritage and economy, such as hiking on the North Carolina Birding Trail or visiting an agritourism farm. “VisitNC.com is a state-sponsored Web site that gives students resources to help plan trips,” Tomas said. A great way to spend time outside and see animals from all over the world is by visiting the zoo. Fall is one of the best times to visit the zoo, according to Rod Hackney, public relations manager at the North Carolina Zoo in Asheville. “There’s noth-

Another option near Asheville is the Nantahala Gorge Canopy Tour. This zip-line thrill takes riders through multiple ecosystems for over half a mile. Assistant Director of Outdoor Adventures Bill James has four trips planned over fall and spring, although the spots are already filled up. Students will travel on two backpacking trips to Mt. Rogers and sea kayaking trips to Cape Lookout and Beaufort. For students who didn’t sign up for the trip, James says students have many other options. “Uwharrie National Forest, the Outer Banks, Jordan Lake and Falls Lake are all places I would recommend,” James said. There are some special events occurring throughout the state over the weekend of fall break. Students interested in the arts might enjoy the Sculpture Salmagundi Exhibition, which will be at the Imperial Centre in Rocky Mount during fall break. The Ava Gardner Festival in Smithfield is also this weekend, an event that honors the famous actress. The Great Smoky Mountain Rail-

The Edge, lead guitarist and back-up vocals for U2, plays in Carter-Finley Stadium Saturday. Raleigh, N.C. was stop number four on a 24-stop tour over the next year. Bono, lead singer of U2, pushed AIDS awarness during the show and proceeds from people sitting in the Red Zones went to AIDS research.

Advertised for months beforehand and featuring a massive, 90-foot-tall alien warship stage that took several days to set up, the U2 360 tour stop in Raleigh made Carter-Finley Stadium the place to be Saturday night. This was the band’s first ever performance in Raleigh; a 1997 performance was scrapped at the last minute due to technical difficulties. Live Nation selected a younger, up-and-coming but fairly well-respected band to open for U2 for an eight-city leg of the show. Muse, which has a loyal following and earned itself household name status with its 2005 release Black Holes and Revelations (teeny-boopers will recognize it as “that band that sang that song while they were playing baseball in the Twilight movie”) rocked out with songs old and new, from its latest single “Uprising” to Absolution’s “Time is Running Out” for the finale. Their soaring, jarring electronic-tinged tones complimented the otherworldly set as well. U2 made its long-awaited debut close to 9 p.m. “We’ve got old songs, we’ve got new songs. We’ve got new

songs we can barely play – and we have a space ship,” Bono announced as the show warmed up, pointing skywards. And a hybrid of old and new it was. The international philanthropists by day, renowned rock stars by night brought everything out of the closet, from 1983’s “Sunday Bloody Sunday” to “One” to this year’s “I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight.” There was a good mix from each decade without any of it sounding tired or rehashed, a testament to this band’s staying power. It wouldn’t have been a U2 concert if it weren’t punctured by Bono and Co.’s lofty political agenda. The music almost seemed like a sideshow to Bono’s musings on peaceful resistance. The band shouted out Agnes Nyamayarwo, a Ugandan nurse and activist close to U2’s ONE organization who is afflicted by AIDS, and Aung San Suu Kyi, an outspoken Burmese activist put under house arrest for six years due to the threats she posed to her country politically. Masks of her face were distributed to those around the stage and the show was dedicated to her. There were mind-blowing thematic elements, most coming from the spaceship-shaped stage with moveable bridges

Downtown Raleigh conceals concerts Students find entertainment in heart of Downtown Kristie Demers Correspondent

On a tucked away cobblestone street under an awning, Maggie Nash, Anna Chiles and Andrea Neill had finally found something to do to unwind and kick off their weekend. Neill danced on the street surrounded by twinkling lights and carefree faces at City Market; a secret hide-away of entertainment.

Neill, a sophomore in biochemistry, was excited about finding out the event. “I didn’t know they had concerts downtown like this.” “I look forward to going again,” Neill said. Nash, a freshman in psychology, said she wanted to try something new after hearing about the concert from a friend. Chiles, a sophomore in sports management, enjoyed the free entertainment especially after a long week of classes. “It is a good way to have fun

sober,” Chiles said. Chiles said that the whole atmosphere reminded her of her home in Asheville. Kaitlin Torres, a sophomore in biology, said she had never heard of First Friday but she would attend free concerts if she knew they were going on. Torres was looking for somewhere to go on Friday night that would be a good place to eat dinner and have a good time, but didn’t know where to look. “I always thought downtown was pricey and never

even thought to look there for free entertainment while I eat,” Torres said. Ashlyn Barefoot, a junior in sports management, attended the concert. “I don’t come much because of the hassle of one-way streets and attempting to find a parking spot in downtown,” Barefoot said.

and Barefoot said they had trouble finding the concert where people got around by foot, leaving their cars on the paved city streets. Barefoot and Smith didn’t spend money at the concert, but paid for a close and safe parking spot. “The only thing I had to spend money on was a parking spot,” Smith said.

that arched over the crowd and a walkway that circled the main area. The screen disassembled itself and turned into a colorful web midway through the show. Bono disappeared at one point and came back with a suit covered in red lasers that bounced off artificial fog and a suspended microphone that looked like a Mario Kart Wii remote covered in Christmas lights. But the main attractions weren’t high-tech displays. During “City of Blinding Lights,” Bono pulled a young boy up onto the stage, did a lap of it with him at his side, and gave him his signature sunglasses to keep. At another point, he handed his microphone off to an audience member, who belted out several verses. If there was one complaint to be made about the show, besides the fact that parking for it was unreasonably expensive and the traffic getting out took hours, it was that it was a few songs too long. Concert organizers perhaps wanted to make sure spectators got their money’s work – tickets ranged from $30 to $250 – but the show had more false endings than the final Lord of the Rings movie. All in all, U2’s set lasted over two hours, and they could have gone out on a stronger note. But truth be told, the concert was as “Magnificent” as advertised. Bono and The Edge have not forgotten how to capture, entertain and inspire a crowd over the years and did so to great effect Saturday. U2 allowed both casual and devoted fans to not only enjoy music and a show, but to feel as though they were a part of something bigger than themselves, even if only for one night.

Junior Tyler Lassiter’s two goals lead Pack past Eagles Alanna Howard Staff Writer

The Pack trumped the Boston College Eagles in Dail Soccer Stadium Friday night in the second overtime, 2-1. The win gave the Pack its first ACC win of the year and took the team to 6-2-1(1-2-1 ACC), while dropping the Eagles to 5-5(12 ACC). Junior Tyler Lassiter scored both goals for the Pack, giving him his second game this year in which he scored two goals. The first half saw the Eagles get on the board early, with a penalty kick taken by Conor Fitzpatrick in the fifth minute putting the score at 1-0. Ten minutes later a handball in the box gave the Pack a chance to tie the game, but redshirt senior Ronnie Bouemboue’s attempt was denied by Eagle’s goalie Justin Luthy, leaving the score 1-0 Boston College at half. Half time saw a change in starting positions, as Lassiter moved from defender to left outside midfield, a spot that has had been temporarily filled by several different players due to injuries. The move proved to be very beneficial as Lassiter went on to break the Pack’s yearlong streak of missing penalty kicks when he put one into the net in the 64th minute. Lassiter said he stepped up to make sure the team did not miss another. “I knew we hadn’t hit one

Assistant Head Coach Dan Popik did not believe this to be a major problem. “Offsides are not that bad, it shows we’re looking forward, taking some risks, keeping the other team’s defense stretched a little bit,” Popik said. Although the Pack took multiple shots, several opportunities were lost due to lack of organization. Popik says the team could have put the game away quickly but failed to do so. “Our composure and finishing was not very good today,” Popik said. “They got an early penalty kick, we had several chances and finally put one in. But we came away with the win and that’s what’s important.”

The Pack hit a match low .000 in the set, with just six kills and six attack errors. “After the break the momentum kind of switched and we weren’t able to pick it back up,” Kretchman said. “Little things just started to break down and we weren’t able to finish.” By the fifth set, the momentum was fully in favor of the Terps. Maryland was able to easily capture the set 15-5, hitting .706 and committing zero attack errors. “[Maryland] expected to come in here and win,” Stubbs said. “So when they were down 2-0, they were just like, ‘Whatever, we’ll come back and still win.’” Stubbs said the comeback was enabled by proper adjustments by the Terrapins and a lack of adjustments by the Pack. “They started making adjustments and we did not do it at all,” Stubbs said. “Too many balls hit the f loor

without an effort.” Wood was one of the few bright spots for the team, notching 18 kills and 11 digs, but Wood said the individual statistics don’t matter. “It doesn’t matter to me,” Wood said. “We lost.” Wood does say that the team’s performance in the first two sets does send a message to the ACC. “We’re not just going to lay down,” Wood said. “We’re going to fight until the end.” Stubbs said the first two sets show how close the team is to pulling out wins. “The fact is that we know we’re so close,” Stubbs said. “The key is for [the team] to believe we’re that close.” The team followed up its emotional game against Maryland with a 3-0 loss at the hands of Boston College. After the weekend, State’s record drops to 7-12 (0-4 ACC), with the team hitting the road next weekend with games at Virginia and Virginia Tech. “We can’t dwell on anything,” Kretchman said. “We know what we have to do.”

Pack implosion leads to loss at Wake

Glance lands job with Lady Volunteers

Errors from within play a part in team’s 30-24 loss to Wake Forest

The University of Tennessee Athletic Department announced last week the hire of Stephanie Glance as a special assistant to the women’s basketball head coach for the Lady Vols. Glance served as interim coach for the Wolfpack in the absence of Kay Yow, who died in January. Glance was a candidate to replace Yow in April. Kellie Harper, a former point guard at Tennessee who played for Pat Summitt, was selected to take over N.C. State’s women’s basketball program. While working under Yow, the Wolfpack made 11 NCAA appearances, four Sweet 16 berths and one Final Four.

Wake Forest defensive back Kenny Okoro picks off redshirt sophomore quaterback Russel Wilson’s pass intended for redshirt junior wide receiver Donald Bowens in the second half of Saturday’s game at Wake Forest. Wilson’s streak of pass attempts without an interception was broken in the first half by Wake Forest defensive back Josh Bush. His streak ended after 379 attempts. Wake Forest ended N.C. State’s three game win streak, 30-24.

the most he had been sacked in his career. The first was by defensive end Willie Young, causing a fumble which led to the Pack’s first touchdown early in the game. Young ended the night tying his career high sacks with three. According to Young, his big plays on defense are insignifi-

cant if, in the end, State does not come out with a victory. “When the game is over I hate it,” Young said. “It’s like the performance I put up today was pointless because we couldn’t pull the win off.”

Sophomore outside hitter Kelly Wood said the team was excited about not only playing at home, but also playing for a good cause. “All of us were excited,” Wood said. “It’s exciting to wear pink, to represent N.C. State, to represent Kay Yow and to honor her.” The Pack opened the match in a tight set, which included seven tie scores. With the score tied 24-24, a kill from senior middle blocker Lisa Kretchman and an attack error by Maryland combined to give
