Solar Center seminar to help students get jobs The University’s Solar Center is set to present at the McKimmon Center in early December regarding the green job market and getting environmentallyfriendly career. Brooke Wallig Staff Writer

Students will have the chance to look into greener opportunities Dec. 8 at the McKimmon Center as the University’s Solar Center presents “How to Land Your Green Dream Job.” According to the North Carolina Sustainable Energy Association, there are upwards of 12,500 jobs classified as “green-collar” in North Carolina, which brings in over $3.6 billion in annual revenue. Lyra Rakusin, a workforce development specialist with the Solar Center, said she believes it’s time for students to capitalize on these opportunities. According to Rakusin, the Solar Center will present a workshop on the green job market—and a student’s place in it—at the McKimmon Center Dec. 8 from 9 a.m. to noon. Rakusin, also the event’s coordinator, said the three-hour workshop is free, open to anyone and will focus on analyzing attendees’ qualities to help find their ‘green-dream’ job. “The goal of this workshop is for people to think about their qualities and compare them to the green jobs available,” Rakusin said. “They will list such things as their skills, interests, background information, and work experience. From there we will work with them to find what else they need like to be seen as a good candidate for this line of work.” According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, green jobs are “businesses that produce goods or provide service that benefit the environment, conserve natural resources, or involve the use of production processes that are more environmentally friendly.” Rakusin said the event will not solely focus on jobs related to solar energy, a common misconception among students and the general public alike.

Police maintain ‘zero-tolerance’ for Adderall abuse With exams looming, Campus Police are taking a firm policy against Adderall abuse. Elise Heglar Staff Writer

A stressful exam period may lend itself to prescription pill abuse for some students, but Campus Police are taking a firm stance against amphetamine abuse. Capt. Jon Barnwell said Campus Police do not frequently make arrests over prescription pills, but it’s not because the consequences aren’t severe. “We don’t have to deal with it very often, but when we do it’s very strict. We get tips from students, usually, about other students that are holding prescription drugs,” Barnwell said. According to Barnwell, students caught with less t ha n 10 0 pills, can be charged w it h a

Class-I misdemeanor punishable by up to 45 days in jail. Students caught with more than one hundred pills will be charged with a Class-I felony and can result in four to five months in prison. “People need to understand that prescription drugs are prescribed to treat something specific; taking them without a prescription or a need can lead to health and legal issues. We take a zero tolerance stance on this issue,” Barnwell said. According to a report by The National Survey on Drug Use and Health Report on nonmedical use of Adderall among full-time college students aged 18 to 22, students were twice as likely to use Adderall nonmedically in the past year as those who had not been in college at all or were only part-time students. According to the report, Adderall is the “brand name for an amphetamine formulation that is prescribed for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and narcolepsy.” Adderall is listed as a Schedule II drug because of its high potential for abuse and dependence, according to the Controlled Substance

Bequet said. According to Di Gioia, irresponsibility on the part of some led to the drink’s bad reputation. “It started getting a bad reputation because of people being irresponsible, but people continued to drink it anyway.

Act. The report defines nonmedical use as “consumption without a prescription belonging to the respondent or use that occurred simply for the experience or feeling the drug caused.” Some students say they’ve seen prescription-drug use on campus, but only for academic purposes. “I don’t ever see people use it to go out and party or anything like that; it’s become a crutch for studying,” said Josh Alger, a junior in computer science with ADHD. According to Alger, use of prescription drugs like Adderall makes it harder for usingstudents to study without it. “People who take it and don’t need it become dependent on it. Prolonged abuse of the drug makes it harder to study without it,” Alger said. There are many health risks associated with taking prescription drugs like Adderall, even for people diagnosed with ADHD. Sudden deaths, stroke, and myocardial infarction have been reported in adults taking stimulant drugs at usual doses for ADHD, according to a 2007 FDA report. The report states the use of Adderall may cause many serious heart problems in frequent users. Alger said the drugs easy availability is one reason for Adderall’s prevalence on campus. “The reason people abuse it so much is

Legal Consequences: Less than 100 pills can lead to as many as 45 days in jail, more than 100 pills can be up to five months in prison Health Concerns: sudden death, stroke, and myocardial infarction along with many other serious heart problems have been reported in adults taking normal doses of stimulant drugs

because it’s easy to get. It’s so common in college that people don’t even realize it’s a form of drug abuse,” Alger said. Christopher Robinson, a junior in psychology, said Adderall abuse is a result of a competitive academic environment. “I’ve talked to people who have said it improves their work habits. College is a competitive environment; you have to do what it takes to get ahead,” Robinson said. According to Robinson, most students do not see taking the drug as a risky endeavor. Many students who are not prescribed to adderall take it on a regular basis in order to write papers or study for exams. “I don’t think people are aware of the risks. You see so many people taking it without anything bad happening that it’s almost like, why not?” Robinson said.

Don’t let ADHD medication abuse you D

THE FACTS:

ADHD medications are some of the top abused medications at the University. If caught with these medications without a prescription, the police can charge students with a misdemeanor or a felony, and the student can be expelled from the University for at least a semester.

OUR OPINION:

While ADHD medications may be available, students should not see them as an easy way to focus and should never use them without a prescription. There are other ways to cope with studying and stress. There are resources available to students to help them.

ead week is upon us. Everyone is buckling down to finish final projects and start studying for final exams. As students, we are realizing that the end is near and we have got to hit the books in order to ace our exams. Most of us will turn into all-nighter coffee junkies, but there are those of us who will turn to other, more dangerous substances. We all know exams and projects are mainstays of college. The end of the semester should not surprise us with projects and papers. To counteract the possibility of substance abuse, we should prepare ourselves to deal with studying and stress. Getting sleep and snacking regularly can help you focus while you study. If you know

you have to study, plan your week out and stick to it. According to the University, ADHD medication is one of the top abused drugs, aside from painkillers and antianxiety medications. Students think taking these stimulants, which are actually amphetamine salts, will help them focus as they try to study and finish their work. While one of the effects of these drugs is stimulating you to focus, there is a multitude of other undesirable side effects. These effects can more than double if the user is taking other medications. These health risks are never worth being able to fo-

cus. Besides the health risks, there are legal implications that are worse. The North Carolina Controlled Substances Act recognizes this drug. If you have no prescription for the medications and you are caught with less than 100 pills, it is a misdemeanor, but if caught with more than 100 pills, it is a felony. There is no reason to risk a couple of months in prison for an exam grade. The University Counseling Center offers services to help students cope with drug abuse. If you or a friend are using prescription drugs with out a prescription, as many times as

Back to the basics

merican values were established before the founding of the United States by the first colonists to arrive in the New World. The founders balanced secular ideas with these ideas of the Puritans and developed a system of government based on these morals and values. As a result, traditional American va lues Chad Rhoades are centered on individuSenior Staff alism, hard Columnist work, democracy, community, capitalism and efficiency, just to name a few. It is interesting how these values have transformed throughout our nation’s social history. We can still see these values in America today, but the motivation behind these values has changed dramatically. Most motivation comes from capitalism or the pursuit of material goods. Lets face it, most of us do not go to college because we love to learn and want to be as educated as possible in all aspects of life. We go to college because if we succeed in college then we can get a diploma, which raises our chances of getting a higher paying job. I am not suggesting that this occurrence is a bad thing. If we are able to get a higher paying job we can support our families more comfortably and hopefully we can pay for our children to go to college so they can also have a more comfortable life. The problems begin to occur when individuals only want to make money and become obsessed with materialism. In the past several years, our society seems to have started va luing materia l possessions more and more. Society equates happiness with materials which may drive individuals to make more money and succeed. However, it is and will continue to have an adverse affect on our nation because ultimately it appears to make individuals more selfish. The idea of capitalism is for each person to exhibit personal responsi-

bility in the acquisition of wealth or private property. In the perfect world of capitalism, individuals make their own destiny. Those who work hard will be successful, while those who do not work hard will suffer. However, our nation also recognizes that all individuals need a fair opportunity to succeed, and those who are less fortunate should be helped out by those members of society who are making the money. Individuals who work hard have a right to own nice things and live comfortably — and they should. However, I am talking about the individuals who have multiple yachts, personal airplanes and five Ferraris. Successful members of society should contribute to their community and continue in business ventures to create more success and more jobs. The problem arises when individuals become obsessed with the material aspect of capitali sm a nd instead of bei ng charitable when they live lives of excessive affluence. Average Americans observe this lifestyle and instead of trying to make a decent living, they believe they are entitled to much more than they are and live far beyond their means. In order for America to get back on track, it will take a little more than working hard or giving to charity. While these things are important and necessary for our society, individuals need to encompass our national values without abusing them. Using them appropriately will promote success for everyone and will make our society that much stronger.

How do you cope with study stress during Dead Week and exam week? BY AYANNA SEALS

we’ve heard it, you should seek out the Counseling Center. They can also help you cope with stress and find out other ways to focus. The bottom line is nothing should drive you to risk your health and time to abuse prescription drugs. It is a tempting quick fix to help you focus, but there are other things you can do to help yourself. Being proactive helps, but also developing a game plan can make Dead Week survivable. At the end of the semester, we should be able to say we were successful without the help of drugs.

I am writing you to indicate my disgust with the ACC for its failure to appropriately reprimand Kevin Reddick for his intentional and malicious acts of physical violence towards Owen Spencer and Jarvis Williams. His unsportsman-like conduct was not only blatant and largely unprovoked, it was clearly caught on film for the world to see. Your lack of action is an embarrassment to our schools, our conference, and fans in the interest of good sportsmanship the world over. Knowing that you have already released, in a public statement, that Kevin Reddick will go unpunished by the ACC, I would like to remind you that his conduct, and the lack of action by the ACC is in stark contrast with the mission of the ACC as an organization: “[The ACC] strongly adheres to the principles of integrity and sportsmanship, and supports the total development of the student-athlete and each member institution’s athletics staff, with the intent of producing enlightened leadership for tomorrow.” In line with its mission statement, the ACC should strongly adhere to the principles of integrity and sportsmanship by not allowing Kevin Reddick’s poor sportsmanship to go unpunished. Kevin Reddick kneed Owen Spencer in the throat, attempted to kick Owen Spencer in the face, then pushed Jarvis Williams, and threw and connected on a violent left hook to Jarvis Williams’ head gear. The ACC not severely punishing this athlete is tantamount to its support of unsportsman-like play. I strongly urge you to reconsider the ACC’s official position regarding this incident, and at the very least that you will issue a “public statement.” Until you do act on this egregious act of unprovoked violence I, and a large group of individuals in support of sportsman-like conduct, will contact major online and traditional media outlets to provide them with video evidence of the event, and to request that they draw attention to the ACC’s failure and inability to control its own member institutions and their players. In addition, we will also contact the ACC’s corporate sponsors to request, as concerned customers, that they cease to provide support for an organization that does not abide by its underlying values.

tuffed with Thanksgiving Day turkey, shoppers wake up bright and early the Friday after Thanksgiving for some of the best sales of the season. Black Friday is a tradition that has some religiously waking before dawn, and has others trying to sneak in late to see if they can get their share without losing any sleep. This year, the recession had many stores opening up as early as 4 a.m. to welcome shoppers. Some of these shoppers were students who shared with Technician their own Black Friday shopping adventure.

Best Buy, Southpark Mall (Express, American Eagle), Gamestop and Walmart.

Crabtree Valley Mall, Macy’s, Brookstone, took a break at McDonald’s, The Eye (Carolina Hurricanes store), Game Stop. Then I went to South Point in Durham for Best Buy, REI, Belk, Sears, Sunglass Hut, Macy’s, Finish Line and Belk again.

WHAT STORES DID YOU GO TO (IN ORDER)?

I went to Dillards, JC Penney, Belk, Express, New York and Co., Macys, American Eagle, Charlotte Russe, Marshalls, Target, Micheals and Kohls.

WHAT WERE SOME OF THE BEST SALES?

The best deal I got was a 20-piece cookware set complete with knives for $40 after the rebate. I also got an $85 coat for $25 and a sweater from Express for $20. I did a lot of online shopping on Thanksgiving Day. I got a sweater dress and two pairs of boots, as well as other gift items.

Saving $15 on select Video Games (Killzone 2 and inFamous).

WERE YOU LOOKING FOR ANYTHING SPECIAL?

I was mainly looking to buy my Christmas presents from my parents and grandparents. I pick them out, they wrap them and I act surprised. It works pretty well.

I was mostly looking for an external hard drive on sale at Best Buy, but it didn’t look like it was in the store — perhaps it was sold out already. The sale still shows up on the website, so I may just buy it online through its sale date.

I was looking for a digital camera at Best Buy, but I decided against buying one right now and thought of saving some more money and getting a better camera than the one I intended to buy because it didn’t have a good deal anyways.

HAVE YOU DONE BLACK FRIDAY BEFORE?

I have done Black Friday for a while. We just love shopping, so any holiday — like “Black Friday” — designed around [shopping] is my idea of fun.

Yep.

Nope, it’s my first time in the USA, hence my first Black Friday ever.

I bought clothes at Macy’s, especially some Tommy Hilfiger shirts and some sweaters. I also got some really neat multi-tools from Brookstone, which are good to give to people back home in India and was really cheap.

Seniors gear up for Threads Fashion Show Student designers have spent the semester preparing for the show that will showcase their work, from garments to runway details. Laura Wilkinson Features Editor

Inspiration can come from large things, small things, insignificant details or haunting memories. For the seniors in the Threads Senior Fashion Show, Thursday will be their last chance at the University to bring inspiration to the runway in the form of self-designed, hand-made garments. It’s the chance for these students to pull together everything they have learned at the College of Textiles to craft something unique. Alli Giorgi, a senior in textile and apparel management, said the senior show is a representation of every individual designer’s style. “A lot of people have been doing their own digital printing on fabrics. Some people have been doing finishing on their fabrics, like water-repellant stuff and things like that — it’s up to all of us,” Giorgi said. “We had to design the entire show ourselves — figuring out reception and lighting and stage. It’s been really interesting because a lot of it we just went into it not knowing anything and then we have to find our own sponsors and things like that, so we’ve gotten a lot of experience with setting up a fashion show.” Wing Ka Leung, a senior in fashion and textile management, said the show is to tell people the seniors are ready to go into the industry and work. “We’re using our creativity and the technology the school gives us and the skills to create a line that has six garments in each collection. We pick our own themes and sketch our own garments. We construct them ourselves by making patterns, draping and whatever else.”

Wing Ka Leung, a senior in fashion and textile management, cuts fabric for a garment for the Threads Senior Fashion Show. “I am very excited about the fashion show. This is going to be my first fashion show and also last in N.C. State,” Leung said. The Threads Senior Fashion Show will take place at the College of Textiles on Centennial Campus Thursday.

Leung said it was a challenge for everyone and they’re trying their best to accomplish everything by deadline. “We work the whole semester. The last month is the most intensive one,” Leung said. Giorgi said none of the designers are truly finished yet. “Since there is a week left, it’s getting really hectic and we’re all working really hard,” Giorgi said. “Mostly, everybody has two or three looks left to do and then we have to do finishing touches –making sure all our seams are finished, there’s no threads hanging and stylizing is also a big thing – figuring out hair and makeup, what shoes and what jewelry to wear.”

The College of Textiles pushed the students to use technology offered by the University and sponsors to assist in the creation of their designs. “There was a big stress on using our college technology, like using body scanning to get measurements, using Gerber to do cutting patterns, and digital printing,” Giorgi said. Leung said there are a lot of opportunities for designers to express their creativity. “My theme is Roman and Grecian-inspired. There are lots of draping, wraps and fastening. I tried to create a more modern, ready-to-wear look so

Pack drops Cowboys, falls to Sooners Wrestling team follows easy victory over Oklahoma City with 52-0 loss to No. 8 Oklahoma.

Godley, also posted victories against Oklahoma City. Palmer defeated Mark Meyer, who entered the match with a 13-1 record, on a 6-2 decision while Godley took down Andrew Pontikes, 17-7, to improve to 8-2 on the season. The Pack’s five other winners against OCU were all sophomores, as Dale Shull and Brett Farina took decisions at 133 and 149 pounds, respectively. Farina’s 11-10 victory was the highlight of the match, according to Jordan. “Brett Farina at 149 was losing his match to their best guy, 9-4, in the third period,” Jordan said. “He came back and beat him. He just kept fighting, scratching and clawing, which is what we have been preaching.” 174-pounder Kasey Young recorded a 16-0 tech fall before 197-pounder Karonne Jones and heavyweight Christian McClean added two more victories by decision. The Pack found itself on the other end of a beat down in the second match of the afternoon, as no wrestler was victorious in a 52-0 shutout at the hands of an imposing lineup for the eighth-ranked Sooners of Oklahoma. “That was the best Oklahoma team I have ever seen,” Jordan said. “But I don’t care if we wrestle the Russian team, there is no excuse for the level of performances we had. That will not be accepted. I don’t care how many backups we have in the lineup, I don’t care who we are wrestling and I don’t care what our traveling situation was - we are not going to perform that way.” But Jordan said after the loss that several of his grapplers

The wrestling team traveled west over the holiday weekend for its first two dual matches of the season and participated in a pair of blowouts – one that went in its favor and one that necessitated what coach Carter Jordan called a serious team meeting. Despite complications and difficulties with flight arrangements that forced the Pack to wrestle only 12 hours upon landing in Norman, Okla., Friday evening, the Wolfpack dominated Oklahoma City 366, with the only loss in its first match coming via forfeit. “After an incredibly tough week, with three different flight cancellations on the way out, we did not arrive in Norman until 11:30 Friday night,” Jordan said. “I was really proud that the kids didn’t use that as an excuse. We wrestled really hard against Oklahoma City.” The Pack’s only loss of its 10 individual bouts in the win over Oklahoma City came because of a forfeit at 184 pounds. Strong early wrestling this season by juniors Darrius Little and Mike Moreno continued Saturday, with Moreno recording a first-period pin over Kidd Gomez at 125 pounds and Little winning on a fall at the 141-pound weight class. The decisive victories ran Little’s record to 10-1 and Moreno’s to 12-1. Two more juniors, 157-pounder Colton Palmer and 174-pounder Quinton

Michael Moreno, a junior in First Year College, tries to flip his opponent in the wrestling tournament Sunday, Nov 14. The wrestling team ranking 25, held the Wolfpack Open in Reynolds Coliseum with over 10 schools participating hoping to break their record and getting past the 25th ranking position.

headed home with an important lesson. “On the upside, Mike Moreno, Darrius Little, Colton Palmer and Quinton Godley, those four guys, they realize now that they can wrestle at a national level,” Jordan said. The best example of that came in Little’s narrow loss to Oklahoma’s top-ranked Zach Bailey, which wasn’t the moral victory the match’s final score might have indicated. “I leaned over to my assistant at the end of the first period and said, ‘we’re four or five, maybe even six points better than this kid. If he keeps wrestling, he’s going to win this match going away,’” Jordan said. “But he shut down. Instead of focusing on extending his lead, he wrestled not to lose.”

According to Jordan, the match displayed two things: What Little’s capable of and what might prevent him from realizing his boundless potential. “Do I think he can win a national title now?” Jordan said. “Absolutely. But there is a lot that goes into that. He just has to learn how to win big matches. Right now Darrius Little could win a national title. Or he could not qualify for the NCAA tournament. If he doesn’t learn how to close matches and start believing he belongs, the latter is what is going to happen.”

Redshirt Freshman Danny O’Brien, a native of Kernersville, torched the Pack’s secondary to the tune of 417 yards and four touchdown passes. All four of O’Brien’s touchdown passes were caught by junior Torrey Smith, who finished the contest with 14 catches for 224 yards, both career-highs. The Wolfpack will now be waiting to hear what bowl they will be playing in.

Women’s basketball goes 0-2 at Nugget Classic

14-0 lead slips away as dropped passes, mistakes derail championship hopes.

The Wolfpack continued its early season struggles over the break, losing to Nevada 74-70 on Friday and losing to Minnesota 71-67 on Saturday. Despite four players scoring in double figures, State (34) could not hold on to an eightpoint second half lead as Nevada prevailed in the first ever meeting between the two Wolfpacks. A three-pointer by senior Brittany Strachan gave State a 70-69 lead with 24 seconds left to play, but Nevada’s Thane Robinson responded with a three-pointer of her own to secure the victory. The following night did not go any better for coach Kellie Harper and Co. as Minnesota used strong performances from its bench players to pull out a 71-67 victory Saturday. Leah Cotton and Kristen Dockery combined for 37 points off the bench for the Golden Gophers. Sophomore Marissa Kastanek pulled the Wolfpack within two points with 16 seconds left, but two late free throws by Cotton sealed a Golden Gophers win. The women’s basketball team will look to get back on track as it travels to Champaign, Ill., to take on Illinois in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge on Wednesday.

T h e loss erases all hope for a rematch against Virginia Tech in the ACC Championship game next weekend in Charlotte. Plagued by dropped passes throughout the entire game, sure-handed Wolfpack receiver Owen Spencer and tight end George Bryan each uncharacteristically

Trailing 38-17, Wilson scored his second rushing touchdown of the game to pull within two touchdowns. The Pack recovered the ensuing onsides kick and quickly scored again when Wilson connected with Washington for a three-yard touchdown, cutting the de f ic it to 38-31. Down by one touchdown with on ly one minute to play, State needed a big defensive stop to get the ball back. Facing a short fourth down, Maryland opted to go for it and appeared to be short of the first down marker, but upon further review, was ruled

The N.C. State football team has been ranked three different times this season and lost its following game each time.

Sophomore foward Richard Howell jumps to put the ball in the basket during the Saturday game against Fairleigh Dickson in the RBC Center. Howell scored a total of eight points during his 19 minutes of play. N.C. State defeated Fairleigh Dickinson 77 - 67.

Freshman Lorenzo Brown led the way with 13 points and six assists and Scott Wood came alive in the second half of the basketball team’s 77-67 win over Fairleigh Dickinson on Saturday. The victory put the Pack back in the win column after it suffered its first loss of the season against No. 16 Georgetown in the finals of the Charleston Classic last Sunday. Wood finished the night with 12 points, all during a sevenminute outburst from behind the arc to open the second half and give his team a 52-38 lead with 13:15 to play. Senior point guard Javier Gonzalez added a pair of threeballs of his own a few minutes later to give State its largest lead of the night at 60-44 with nine

minutes remaining. State held on down the stretch to prevail by the final score of 77-67. The Pack clung to a 10-point lead at halftime thanks in large part to a 12-2 run about halfway through the game’s opening 20 minutes. The run was led by sophomore center DeShawn Painter, who picked up eight of his team’s points during that run and finished with 12 on the night. State survived career-high efforts by Fairleigh Dickinson’s Terrence Grier and Mike Scott. Grier notched a career-high 23 points, while Scott missed a triple-double by one assist, as he finished with 11 points, 10 boards and nine assists. It was a tale of two halves in terms of field goal shooting, as the Pack outshot FDU in the first half, converting 45 percent of its field goal attempts
