Fake IDs risky move at N.C. State Elise Heglar Staff Writer
For a 20-year-old student in the College of Management, he said he has a fake ID so he can join his friends. “I use mine in downtown Raleigh to go out with friends. It’s definitely all because I like to go out with everyone,” the 20-year-old student said. There are different ways students can obtain fake IDs. The 20-year-old student obtained his from a brother in his fraternity. “It’s just something I got because I have a lot of older friends,” a 20-year-old student in the College of Management, who wished to remain anonymous for legal reasons, said. The copy costs $15 and is a valid state driver’s license, making it harder for officials to spot it as a fake. “I got my ID from an older brother in the fraternity. It was a really simple process,” the student said. Despite the risks, underage students are still taking chances with the use of fake ID’s. Underage college students are using fake IDs to get into bars and clubs as well as to purchase alcohol at stores. The consequences of getting caught with a fake ID are serious. Violators can be charged with a class one misdemeanor. This can result in a sentence of up to 100 hours of community service or up to a $1,000 fine. The person in question’s license will be revoked and the fake ID will be submitted to the N.C. Department of Motor Vehicles. The purchase of fake identification is more
for social reasons than anything else, according to both students. Wanting to go out with older friends was the deciding factor in whether or not to purchase an ID. All of these consequences occur only for violators without criminal records. Punishment becomes more severe if the offender already has charges on their record. Those who lend or sell their IDs can also be charged with a class one misdemeanor. Manufacturing a fake driver’s license or learner’s permit for sale as fake identification is a class one felony in North Carolina. “Through interaction, such as license checks on campus, we have been made aware of student possession [of fake ID’s] on campus,” Barnwell said. Local businesses follow strict procedures to avoid underage patrons from frequenting their venues. Security guards at clubs and bars are trained to spot fake identification cards as part of their job. If they recognize a fake ID, they turn it over DMV and users are almost always charged for possession. “The most affected places are supermarkets, convenience stores and ABC stores. Local law enforcement tries to constantly pay attention to those areas,” Barnwell said. If a student is charged for using a fake ID, the University is likely to get involved. The use of fake identification violates section 14 in the Student Code of Conduct, which prohibits the misrepresentation
of oneself on any legal document, including photo ID’s. “Providing false information in any way is a

Ludacris will be the only performer at the Friday concert hosted by UAB and the Air Force Reserve. Janell Miller Staff Writer
Ludacris is set to perform at Reynolds Coliseum on Friday. Doors will open at 7 p.m. and the performance will begin at 8 p.m. According to Bobby Fitzjohn, with the Union Activities Board, they were approached by the Air Force Reserve this summer to see if the concert would be possible. “They choose the artist and we took care of the production and venue,” Fitzjohn said. The goal for the Reserve is to do 10 shows at 10 different universities, with the goal of getting their name out there, according to Fitzjohn. “Ludacris performed at homecoming about five or six years ago. It was a general public concert, and there were a few problems, by making this concert student faculty and staff only we hope to avoid those problems,” Fitzjohn said. According to Capt. John Barnwell, patrol division commander

“Barrel Monster” creator, and N.C. State senior Joseph Carnevale unveiled his newest creation, the “Street Knight,” as a permanent piece of public art in the Cameron Village Regional Library, Thursday morning. Carnevale created the sculpture as part of Cameron Village’s Earth Day celebratory event “Scrap to Sculpture,” and was positioned in the midst of Cameron Village for two weeks in April. Carnevale used a collection of old street signs headed for a recycling center to create a sculpture measuring between 12 and 13 feet tall. “My main inspiration for the sculpture mainly came from the outfits from The Gladiator, especially the torso area and the way the helmet doesn’t cover the whole face,” Carnevale said. Carnevale said he enjoyed the chance to get paid for creating art. “Thank you for a paid opportunity to make a real piece of art,” Carnevale told an audience Thursday morning. “It’s nice to have a permanent piece that will be here for a while.” The ceremony celebrated the induction of the Street Knight with several important public figures, such as Mayor Charles Meeker, drilling the final screws into the sculpture, permanently situating the knight as an artistic protector of the library. Given his past charges for vandalizing public property during the creation of the “Barrel Monster,” Carnevale described the ceremony as ironic. “I never thought my art would become legitimate art with a plaque on the wall. I felt like some of what I’ve created would receive press coverage, but would never find its way to the limelight. It also just feels strange and ironic. I’m shaking hands with the mayor one day when the next

According to Carnevale, he has a couple of sculptures in the works, one of which will soon be a praying mantis. “I picked a mantis because I’m using gardening materials, and the mantis is a cool insect that is a beneficial bug to its natural surroundings,” he said.

area. Lastly, 9,000 square feet of carpet will be replaced, Barker said. Emily Wheet, a sophomore in social work, said she thinks there are other buildings that need attention than the Student Health Center. “There’s always construction on the health center,” Wheet said. “I don’t know what’s happening. I feel like they’re always doing things for it when there are always other things to be done.” The Student Health Center was built in 1999. Construction included a preliminary study in 2006, which showed a need for more space. “The Health Center and Counseling Center need additional space for staff to provide services to students. We’ve had support from student leaders and fee review committees over several years. As departments move into the new addition, their old space has to be renovated to accommodate relocating departments,” Barker said. Amy Walters, a junior in social work said she didn’t see the need for the addition “The service is fast, the building is fine. I don’t think they need to change anything,” Walters said. Barker said there will be little conflict between construction and student access to service. “There will be very little interference between now and spring break, mainly south side entrance will be blocked during construction,” Barker said. “From mid-March to the end of spring semester will be the most renovation disruption, but architects have developed an excellent plan and our staff will work hard to make the facility work for students needing services.” Chazmyn Grant, a sophomore in law and justice, said she sees the construction as a problem for student interac-

tion at the Student Health Center. “I see it as an inconvenience because I don’t see the finished product, just the construction,” Grant said. Barker said he views the renovation is a good project that’s moving along very well and will be pleasing to the students. Phase II of the renovation project, a 23,600 square foot addition, is schedule for completion in March 2011. Phase III, the final phase, will be finished by August 2011, according to Barker. By summer 2010, the pharmacy was partially renovated and is expected to be completed by fall break. In addition, medical and nonmedical supply rooms were demolished to make way for a hallway, mechanical and plumbing work was administered, and Central Campus Parking Lot was redone. The Disability Services space was demolished and the Disability Services Offices moved to First Year College.

SCJ celebrates Constitution Day Constitution day is held on Sept. 17. Chelsey Francis Deputy News Editor
The United States Constitution is 223 years old. Constitution Day is celebrated on Sept. 17, because it is the anniversary of the day the framers signed the Constitution. According to Martha Collins, advisor for the N.C. State chapter of the Society of Collegiate Journalists, the group is sharing the importance of the Constitution. “We’re promoting the Constitution and the 1st Amendment,” Collins said.

According to Fitzjohn, all the tickets were handed out within the first week. “We handed out over 3,600 tickets in the first at ticket central. It was mainly through social networking and word of mouth that the event got out there,” said Fitzjohn.

the group is raising awareness. “The Society for Collegiate Journalists is celebrating Constitution Day this week by raising awareness on campus about the national freedoms granted by the signing of that fateful document,” Chung said. According to Chung, the group painted the Free Expression Tunnel. “To get students involved, we are painting the Freedom Expression Tunnel and WKNC is playing Constitution Day public service announcements on our behalf,” Chung said. Chung said the Constitution is important because it gives us our basic freedoms. “Without the Constitution, we would not have our basic rights, including free speech, which is the more prevalent to our organization, as we are comprised of various members of Student Media,” Chung said.

{OUR VIEW}
“We the People” remember our freedoms THE FACTS:
The U.S. Constitution was signed on Sept. 17, 1787. The National Constitution Center has been celebrating the 223rd anniversary of the signing all week. The Society of Collegiate Journalists at N.C. State will be celebrating by dressing up and giving out free pizza to those wearing red, white or blue on the Brickyard.
OUR OPINION:
The U.S. Constitution is the foundation of our nation’s simple innate freedoms and the basis of our government. It is important citizens of all ages know and understand this document. As college students, we should be concerned with continuing our appreciation for the efforts of the founding fathers.
T
he Preamble of the U.S. Constitution outlines the mission statement and the goals of the sevenarticle document that forms our country. However, the most important article for the citizens of the country is the first amendment of the Bill of Rights: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Simply said, this article allows citizens basic freedoms that would not be guaranteed otherwise. As students, we

need to remember we have these freedoms and should never take them for granted. The University built Witherspoon Student Center in 1991 and it functions as a movie theatre, the African American Cultural Center, and office space for Student Government and Student Media. The movie theater shows movies about a broad range of topics and goes relatively uncensored. It also functions as a classroom where forums and events, despite being controversial occasionally, are hosted. Also, congregations of a variety of religions meet there every Sunday morning. The
African American Cultural Center houses the African Student Union, African American Heritage Society, various African American fraternities and sororities and other organizations. Student Government conducts business and holds legislative sessions in the senate chambers. Student Media produces papers, videos, photos and broadcasts their choice of music. Without the first, thirteenth and fourteenth amendments, this building and all of the organizations within it would be at the mercy of administrative powers and would not have a simple basis to function for

It’s Ludacris to forget our military
A
rguably the most exciting event to occur on campus in the past year, tonight’s sold out concert is sure to facilitate an evening of thrills, surprises and cacophony only Ludacris could conjure. Since he began rapping at age nine, he Alex Lewis has entertained Columnist millions and amassed a list of awards for his work many of us will only dream of. This Illinois native has certainly made a name for himself. When I received the Facebook invitation, a wealth of emotions overcame me, not the least of which being sheer excitement. I made a concerted effort t o a c q u i re a ticket and nothing was going to stop me from getting one, including long lines. Once a ticket was in my possession, the sponsor the Air Force Reserve - finally reminded me what this concert was about. The military has been an integral part of our nation’s defense since our very conception as a country. A volunteer force bound together to provide safety and advance the cause of freedom was the goal with George Washington’s army and holds true even today. Obviously, aerial technology was primitive until the past 100 years but since its development, our country has adapted to this change and created the Air Force. President Truman established the Reserves in 1948 to lend a helping hand to the full-time branch and since then, they have both lived up to their motto of “To fly, fight, and win... in air, space, and cyberspace.” Comprised of 74,000 officers and enlisted personnel, the Air Force Reserve takes on a variety of missions in mutual support of the Air Force. Equipped with diverse fleet of aircraft, they are ready to go and accomplish the
mission within 72 hours of being called upon. Although only 10 percent of the Air Force’s manpower, they complete over 30 percent of its missions that range from aerial refueling to performing rescues. Every month, reservists average more than 360 missions away from home, sacrificing not only for their families, but for our nation. I and many others will certainly be in attendance at tonight’s event, but we should also remain aware of the sacrifices of our military, especially t hose of t he Reserves. Reserve members are not only our friends, neighbors and countrymen, but . members of an elite squad who give their all on the battlefield when called upon. We mustn’t forget their accomplishments, because, after all, freedom is the noblest of causes and remains quite fragile. Have a good time tonight, but appreciate what these men and women do for us each and every day.
“Reserve members are not only our friends, neighbors and countrymen, but members of an elite squad who give their all on the battlefield ”

I am a member of one of this University’s ROTC units, and I love being here. Throughout my years as a member of the Pack, I have always felt welcomed and appreciated, and am proud to wear my uniform around campus. Not until today have I ever been disappointed in my school’s treatment of this nation’s military personnel. As you may know, Thursday’s game was our school’s Military Appreciation Day, an event that I have enjoyed every year that I have been a student here. In past years, we have been allotted seats near the end zones in sections near the field. This year, however, we have been assigned sections 14 and 15. Those sections are about as far away from the field as one can get and still be in the stadium. When I discussed this with several cadre members and fellow cadets, I was informed that the decision to move us to the “nosebleed” section was made by the Student Senate. I have been to the Student Senate website and seen resolutions from previous years allotting seats for Military Appreciation Day games, so I believe this claim to be accurate. This is not, however, a complaint about the fact that we had our seats moved, and I am not writing this letter because I am angry. It is not important that our school’s ROTC units have continually made efforts to give
back to the school, including installing each and every one of the ten thousand cushioned seats in our football stadium by hand with time out of our summer breaks and weekends. Each year at our Military Appreciation Day game, we invite a group of servicemen and women who have been wounded in the line of duty to come enjoy the game with us, and to show that our school supports them. They have always had a great time and enjoyed the excellent seating set aside for them. But this year they will be seated in section 14, the nosebleeds. As some of you may have noticed, colored panels were placed throughout the stadium seats to spell out “Thank you troops.” These panels extend into section 14. The wounded soldiers will not see this show of appreciation, because they will be holding up the signs they’re supposed to be looking at. I am not a member of Student Government, and do not know why the people who are supposedly the focus of Thursday’s game have been shuffled away into the back corner of the stadium. Some of my fellow cadets say that the Senate wanted to be able to sell the seats normally reserved for us instead of giving them away for free. Others say it is because the Senate has decided that other groups deserve them more. I am not concerned with why the senate made this decision, because it is not important. It is clear that, for all the fanfare surrounding Military Appreciation Day, the soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines are not the focus, and that is why I am writing this letter. I am disappointed at our school’s dismissal of these men and women on a day reserved for them. Most members of the military will tell you that no matter what, your troops come first. I hope you took the time to glance up

‘Haitian Celebration’ aims to increase culture This weekend marks the kickoff of the Haitian Celebration with performances by the Resurrection Dance Crew and drum-making classes at the Crafts Center. Jessica Neville Science & Tech Editor
Before a devastating earthquake last January brought the small nation of Haiti to the forefront of international news, groups at N.C. State University were already at work planning ways to bring awareness of Haitian culture to the University. Now, despite the obstacles presented by the earthquake’s destruction, these plans are being made a reality in the form of the University Haitian Celebration, which kicks off this weekend. Anita Flick, Health-Pac director, had been working in Haiti for several years with Hearts for Haiti, a non-profit organization based in Raleigh, when she met with other University leaders who had an interest in Haiti to discuss a Universitywide initiative to bring awareness to issues surrounding Haiti. Included in the initial planning was Mike Giancola of the Center for Student Leadership, Ethics and Public Service, and Phillip Dail, director of advising and admissions in the College of Textiles. “We wanted to bring together different people and groups on campus who all wanted to be involved with the people of Haiti,” Flick
said. “Our goal is to bring awareness on campus of both the good and bad aspects of Haitian culture; the dance and the art as well as the child slavery.” Hearts with Haiti provides assistance to Haiti by working with the St. Joseph’s Family, an organization that runs three homes in Haiti for former child slaves as well as homeless and mentally and physically disabled children. The University Haitian Celebration began yesterday with a danceoff between the Resurrection Dance Theater and the University Dance team before the N.C. State football game against Cincinatti. The RDT is comprised of boys from St. Joseph’s Home for Boys, a school supported by the St. Joseph’s Family, that were given a second chance at life through the contributions of Hearts with Haiti. According to Cheryl Proctor, chair of the Hearts with Haiti board, two of the St. Joseph’s Family’s three homes for Haitian children were destroyed in the January earthquake. “One of the goals of this project is to raise funds to rebuild the schools and support the children, along with raising awareness,” Proctor said. Friday, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Brickyard, students have the opportunity to listen to and participate in a drumming exhibition and lesson from renowned Haitian drummer Bill Nathan, along with members of the RDT. Students can purchase a drum for $5 to practice with the drummers with all proceeds going to the rebuilding ef-
forts for St. Joseph’s Famiy homes, according to Flick. “All of the dancing and drumming students can watch; the boys learned all of that at the St. Joseph’s school,” Flick said. Also on Friday, the RDT will present a free performance, along with an art exhibit, in Stewart Theatre, sponsored by Arts N.C. State Center Stage at 8 p.m. Lori Jones, community engagement coordinator for Center Stage and arts outreach, worked with Flick and Hearts with Haiti in planning the event. “When our office was approached with the idea we were intrigued by the possibility of bringing a new cultural perspective to the University,” Jones said. “The young men who perform have an amazing level of commitment that is a great opportunity for students to see.” Jones said there are still tickets available, although they are close to selling out. “The best thing about this event is that it shows what can happen when the University collaborates with other partners,” Jones said. “It enhances the experience for everyone.” Finally, students can take part in the Haitian Celebration this weekend by creating their own Haitian petwo hand drum in classes offered by the University Craft Center. Classes will be held from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Tony Allen, a senior in physics, is the instructor for the course. “This course is for all skill levels, so it’s great for people who have nev-
COURTESY OF CIA
er done woodworking before and want to try a new skill,” Allen said. Proctor has worked closely with the University in planning the Haitian Celebration. She said HWH started in Raleigh with 12 people who had been to Haiti through the Presbyterian Church and were immensely impressed with the philosophy and success of the St. Joseph’s family. “We support St. Joseph’s because it is a model for how to change children’s lives, not just pack them into an orphanage,” Proctor said. “This program has been successful and we believe it could be replicated in other cities and towns in and beyond Haiti.”

The Love Language Merge Records

When I was just a newborn, my mom would sit in this old rocking chair and cradle me while she sang her favorite Beatles songs, instead of the traditional lullabies. I’m guessing my dad’s renditions of Led Zeppelin didn’t quite make for good bedtime music. So, while I was listening to the Love Language’s newest release, Libraries, I couldn’t help but see a similar scene playing out in my mind—some trendy Triangle couple crooning this local band’s latest release to their little bundle of joy. It’s just got that same kind of simple beauty to it. A couple of years ago, the Love Language’s frontman, Stuart McLamb, was more likely to be found lying in a Raleigh back alley than rocking the big stage at the Hopscotch Music Festival. After a turbulent series of personal events, McLamb created a new ba nd (T he L ov e L a n g uage) a nd put out a selftitled album about his struggles. Libraries c om e s ou t just a year after that debut self-titled album and is a very solid followup. If the Love Language hasn’t proven themselves to be heavy hitters in Raleigh’s thriving indie rock scene yet, this album will certainly solidify them as such. The first track, “Pedals,” starts out with a quiet piano intro, but then crashes into this rich melody with all sorts of

layers to it. Those are going to be the keywords for Libraries: “rich” and “layers”. “A season for the both of us, a reason that rose off the coffin”—those are the first bold words from Stuart McLamb, the lead singer and guitarist. He has a bit of Morrissey (from the Smiths) in his voice and it works well echoing out over the rich ebb and flow of the music. With those symphonic-like buildups and crashes from t he i nst r umentation, I also got a pretty definite Arcade Fire vibe as well. That lovely riff running throughout “Pedals” ? It sounds just like the outro from “Intervention,” but with a beautiful tragedy that is all its own. Another quick standout for me was certainly “Horrorphones.” This was the Love Language track WKNC included on the Hear Here compilation, which was reviewed by yours truly a few issues back. I still stand by what I said about this song back then—a melodic headtrip that’s equal parts I’m

From Barcelona and the Beach Boys. Tracks like “This Blood Is Our Own” and “Anthophobia” give off an almost beach-vibe with their bending, sliding guitar solos. This underlying feeling became so pervasive to me that I checked out the band’s website and, sure enough, I see crashing waves and faded photos of wholesome girls in one piece bathing suits. Songs like these, and ones like “Blue Angel,” put me in what I think a 1950’s prom would have been like, but with a much more hip twist to it (and none of the embarrassment). The album closes out with “Wilmont,” which I assume is an allusion to the historic apartment building just down Hillsborough Street. Like the building it references, the song has plenty of heart and soul, made manifest by an acoustic intro and McLamb’s sincere lyrics, “I want you to be with me, ‘cause I’ve got a big heart to feed.” With songs like that, maybe it’s not too far-fetched for Libraries to become lasting lullaby material. Maybe one of those little babies will even grow up to write CD reviews of the Love Language’s next release.

Little Shop of Horrors, a “rock-n-roll spoof of 1950s scifi,” opens today at the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Raleigh. North Carolina Theatre will be producing the show as part of their 2010 Broadway season. A special rate of $10 for N.C. State students will be available throughout the run of the show. The cast includes the renowned Michael James Leslie as the carnivorous Audrey II; Leslie has performed this role for many years, in venues such as London, Broadway and Los Angeles. “It’s just a show that works,” Leslie said. “It works at any location I’ve ever done, even though the plant eats half the cast.” Little Shop of Horrors has a strange and interesting history. The show was originally a lowbudget, science fiction movie in 1960. It was made into an offBroadway play in 1982, and a film directed by Frank Oz and

starring Steve Martin in 1986. It finally came to Broadway in 2003 and subsequently traveled the globe. “The show is more accessible now because of the [1986] movie. Kids love it,” Leslie said. He said he has never grown tired of playing the same role. “The show is never the same. It is still fun, and even though I only have 12 minutes of speaking, the audience always falls in love with the plant. Well, at least some of them do.” Parker Fitzgerald, the puppeteer who brings Audrey II to life, said he is very enthusiastic about the production. “It’s a fantastic show. The cast is outstanding and the [theater’s] space is spectacular,”

Even after you graduate, whether it’s in theatre or engineering or education, you must continually improve your craft,” Leslie said. “You can’t just get your degree, get a job and think you’ve learned everything. You must have passion and continually learn.”

When the lights went on in downtown Raleigh last Thursday evening, the stars were ready to illuminate the metropolitan area as well. Raleigh’s Hopscotch Festival featured artists from North Carolina and beyond, and included a large variety of musical genres. The event stretched from Thursday, Sept. 9 to Saturday, Sept. 11, and was sold out within hours. Dispersed amongst nine different downtown venues, the festival brought a sense of energy and excitement to the streets and restaurants. Friday night, emotions were raised high at the Lincoln Theater, a small venue notorious for its up-close and personal atmosphere and famous performances from artists such as Snoop Dogg. Powerful instrumentals and lyrics echoed throughout the venue and created an electric environment for the crowd, all of whom seemed to be in perpetual celebration over the performances of the various artists. Even members of the performing cast were walking out into the crowd to enjoy the presence of their fellow artists on stage. These artists amazed the crowd with a large variety of songs and instrumentals along with numerous creative “freestyles.” “The show was incredible, I’ve been a supporter of the North Carolina hip hop scene for years and to see it come together in full force and unison was truly special.” Kees Verkerk, a sophomore in political science, said. “I was particularly impressed by 9th Wonder, Raekwon and K-Hill for their ability to feed off of the crowd’s energy.”

No Age plays for thousands of fans at Fayetteville Street city plaza for Hopscotch Music Festival on Saturday.
9th Wonder gave the crowd an amazing show with his ability on the turntables, and the crowd was further entertained by the riveting instrumentals displayed by The Remix Project. “The Hopscotch Festival was evidence that the North Carolina music scene has finally come to full circle. We have finally proven our scene can compete with any other scene on all levels,” performer K Hill said. The North Carolina hip-hop scene appears to be on the rise, and it embodies lyrical creativity and charisma on the microphone, something that is often lacking in the current music industry. Another spectator whose excitement was eminent during the show was Raleigh-based hip-hop artist Cyrano Sinatra, who came to the show simply as a spectator. Cyrano, whose fan base lies predominately in the New York and Chicago area, is looking to make a big splash into the music industry this year, particularly in the North Carolina region. “I was born in Greenville so I’m trying to go back to my roots and build up more of a
fan base around my home,” Cyrano said after the show. Cyrano has worked with some of hip-hop’s most accredited artists such as Kool G Raps of Queens, New York, and various other rising artists. However, Cyrano said he is now looking into the future, as he plans to collaborate with K-Hill. “K-Hill had a great performance tonight. It really opened my eyes to the potential that we have in our collaboration. It’s definitely exciting,” Cyrano said. Cyrano and K-Hill plan to start performing as a duo act in the near future and help each other push their music agendas to a new level, while contributing to the growth of the North Carolina hip-hop scene as a whole. As the hip-hop scene in North Carolina continues to progress, artists such as these will be able to look back on events such as hopscotch and realize that it was festivals such as these that helped launch their music careers.

Czajkowski had previously made 83 straight extra point attempts. In the second half, State’s defense continued its dominance over the Bearcat offense, notching five sacks, led by redshirt
sophomore linebacker Terrell Manning who had two. “We brought a couple of different packages. Everybody is stunting, getting out of the way, taking on blocks. It’s clearing out a lot of alleys for the linebackers, the safeties and whoever else is coming,” Manning said. “It’s all part of the system.” Wilson also continued to show why he is a top-tier quarterback in the ACC, going 24-40 on the night for 333 yards and three touchdowns. He also scrambled for 33 yards.

Greene led the Wolfpack’s rushing attack, gaining 84 yards on 16 carries with one touchdown. State special teams also picked up its first punt block of the year when redshirt sophomore linebacker Colby Jackson blocked Cincinnatti’s Pat O’Donnell with 8:50 left in the fourth quarter to help set
up a 25 yard drive ending in an eight yard touchdown pass from Wilson to junior fullback Taylor Gentry. The Pack’s next game is Sept. 25 at Georgia Tech.
from the locker room is something that should be required of all professional sports teams. N.C. State and a lot of Div. 1 teams support this idea. It’s not a problem for athletes in non-revenue sports at our University because their locker rooms are a good distance away and the field is as good a place as any for a postgame interview. But State basketball and football players retreat to the comfort of their locker rooms and members of the media can request the players they want to speak to. I understand the reasoning behind this. But it saddens me that we’ve gotten to the point where people are talking about requiring this. Interview rooms are cold and impersonal and you don’t always get the players or the quotes you’re looking for. Even if the person you want to talk to agrees to come over, there are some thirty-some reporters with recorders his or her face.

In a locker room you can mill around, talking to whomever you like and asking the questions you want. It’s is as close to interviewing someone in their natural setting as you’re going to reasonably get on a game night. To be honest, I would probably be a little miffed if someone shoved a camera in my face and started interviewing me as soon as I stepped out of the shower, male or female. But it’s a necessary evil to ensure that you, the readers, get your sports news as quickly and accurately as possible. So until people tire of reading about their favorite sports stars, people like Portis need to nut up, shut up, or both. Becoming a pro athlete – or simply becoming a person of interest – means you don’t enjoy the same privacy you used to. That’s why they make the big bucks. Does that mean we should infringe on someone’s basic human rights? Heck no. But it also doesn’t mean reporters covering a sport played by the opposite gender should be made to feel like a horny intruder instead of a focused professional who was enthusiastically invited in.

Keep your clothes on, Mr. Portis
Pack to open weekend tourney against UNCW The volleyball team will conclude non-conference tournament play when it participates in the UNCW Hilton Garden Inn Beach Bash, starting Friday night at 7 p.m. State will square off with instate rival Wilmington in the first game of the tournament before playing Campbell, then Elon on Saturday. New coach Bryan Bunn has the volleyball team off to its best start in 15 years, and with the ACC opener against Carolina Sept. 21 looming, the Pack will look to keep its momentum going over the weekend. State travels to Wilmington with a few players among the conference leaders, including Megan Cyr, the ACC leader in assists, and Margaret Salata, who leads the conference in blocks, with 1.40 per set.

Women’s soccer to take on ODU
Coach Steve Springthorpe and the 5-3 women’s soccer team will travel to Old Dominion for a road test Friday at 6 p.m. against the 2-1-1 Lady Monarchs. The Pack heads to Norfolk, Va. fresh off a 1-0 win over Florida International. Much of State’s success through its first eight games can be attributed to its ability to get on the scoreboard quickly, as the Wolfpack has outscored opponents 8-0 in first half action. ODU is led by a pair of 2009 all-conference players in Lisa Bernardini and Ashlee Coutu. Friday’s battle with the Lady Monarchs will conclude nonconference play for the women’s soccer team, as State will travel to Clemson Thursday before the ACC home opener against the Tar Heels Sunday, Sept. 26.

Cross country seasons to kick off in Cary
The last of the fall sports teams to begin their 2010 seasons, the men’s and women’s cross country team’s first action of the new season will come in Friday’s Wolfpack Invite. The race will take place in Cary, at the Wake Med Soccer Park, with the men starting at 5 p.m. and the women starting 30 minutes later. Coach Rollie Geiger and the men’s team won the ACC in 2009, with Geiger taking home ACC Coach of the Year honors for the 11th time in 15 years. In addition to posting fast times, Geiger’s runners also got it done academically, as four Wolfpack runners were Academic All-Americans in 2009. Sophomore Emily Pritt led the way for the women’s team in 2009, finishing the year an All-ACC, AllNCAA Regional and All-America selection. Source: N.C. State athletic

The football team walked into Thursday night’s game at Carter-Finley Stadium against the two-time defending Big East champs undefeated in its first two games, attempting to go 3-0 for the first time in eight years. And on Military Appreciation Day on national television, the Pack left little doubt who was the better team, winning 30-19. The Wolfpack opened the night quickly, with redshirt sophomore quarterback Russell Wilson leading the team on a 93yard drive on the Pack’s second possession. Wilson hit four different receivers on the drive, including the final play, a 16 yard pass to redshirt junior wide receiver Jay Smith at the 9:26 mark of the
first quarter. The touchdown is the first of Smith’s career. “You just have to take it one play at a time,” Wilson said. “That’s the way to get big drives like that—just one play at a time and keep it moving … It’s obviously great to have a great start like that, to get some completions and keep it moving.” Later in the half, the Pack again drove for 93 yards for a touchdown. The second scoring drive was capped off by a 31 yard run by freshman running back Mustafa Greene. “It’s a new adventure every time [Greene] goes out there,” coach Tom O’Brien said. “He works extremely hard. A lot of the things now are becoming repetition to him, so he’s getting where he’s supposed to be and doing what he’s supposed to do.” But the Bearcats fought back. Cincinnati’s defense forced two turnovers by the N.C. State offense, picking up fumbles by redshirt senior wide receiver Jarvis Williams and redshirt freshman
running back Dean Haynes. Redshirt junior tight end George Bryan helped the Pack avoid more turnovers by recovering two fumbles himself, but said he still has confidence in the team’s ability to hold onto the ball. “We just had a little off night, but it’s going to be okay because we work on [ball security] every practice,” Bryan said. “I feel confident that the guys it happened to, it won’t happen again. They’re going to come out ready and it’s not going to happen again.” Despite the offensive woes, the Pack’s defense held strong, holding Cincinnati scoreless in its first 6 possessions. But on the seventh, Cincinnati junior quarterback Zach Collaros completed a 68-yard bomb to junior wide receiver D.J. Woods to break up the shutout. The Wolfpack responded quickly with a 7 play, 72-yard drive capped off by redshirt junior halfback Curtis Un-

Pack looks to maintain momentum Soccer travels to Maryland to square off with No. 5 Terrapins. Cory Smith Staff Writer
Following a shutout win against the Virginia Military Institute Keydets, the Wolfpack (2-2) will travel to College Park, Md. to face the Maryland Terrapins Saturday night. Though N.C. State netted four goals against VMI, scoring will likely be harder to come by against the Terrapins. Maryland features the No. 1 goalkeeper in the nation, according to topdrawersoccer.com, in junior Zac MacMath. The goalkeeper led the No. 5 ranked Terrapins to a double overtime tie against Boston College last week and will look to shut down the Pack as well. But coach George Tarantini and Co. will look to come out and score early and often to take down the Terrapins. With three freshmen, Mamadou Kansaye, Nader Jaibat and Sonny Mukungu, combining to score six points on Wednesday night, Tarantini said State can find a way to score more goals. “[Wednesday night] we worked very hard in the sec-

ond half,” coach George Tarantini said. “We did a pretty good job. We had the opportunity to play a lot more players and get used to one another, which is what we’re trying to do. We had a lot of opportunities to score and that’s what we were looking for.” That experience as a team will be crucial for the Pack as it faces Maryland. State is looking for its first win against an ACC foe, as it is 0-1 after a loss to UNC-Chapel Hill last Friday night. Junior defender Tyler Lassiter said he hopes the mo-
mentum gained from the win against VMI will help his team against the Terrapins. “This is a big morale boost and we needed this, coming off two losses,” Lassiter said. Lassiter also got in on the scoring Monday night, as he found the back of the net for his first goal of the season. “I was just ready to score, ready to keep my team in the lead, give them momentum and keep them playing,” Lassiter said. “It felt great; it’s great to score a goal when I’m a defender.”
Maryland will be the Pack’s third foe ranked in the top 25. The Tar Heels were ranked No. 3 in the nation, while the Louisville Cardinals were ranked No. 20 when State dropped that matchup in overtime. But State played both of these teams close, losing both matches by one goal. In addition to increasing its offensive output, State will also need to maintain the defensive stability found

If you’re one of the 99.9% of football fans for whom laughing at the Redskins lost its appeal long ago, you might not have heard about Washington running back Clinton Portis’ on-the-record comments last weekend. I n referenc e to Ines Sainz, a blue-e yed, blonde reporter for TV Azteca, the always glib Portis went too far while talkKate Shefte ing a local raSenior Staff dio station and Writer decreed t hat “somebody got to spark [a female reporter’s] interest, or she’s going to want somebody” in the locker room, among other ignorant verbal gems. After a swift reprimand from the NFL, the media approached Portis yesterday again for follow-up. A teammate had taped over his mouth and a pad of paper with the words “no comment” was all he’d give them. Ugh. So much of this is egos gone amok. Like all too many pampered NFL bad boys, Portis is under the impression that the sun rises and sets with the sole purpose of casting light over the hills and valleys of his superior musculature. But I’m honestly shocked this issue hasn’t come up before, with female reporters such as Erin Andrews and Jenn Brown venturing further and further into the public eye while society as a whole becomes too squeamish and quick to judge. Now, I don’t want this to be some sort of feminist rallying cry or a forum for some good, old-fashioned “woe is me” complaining. I have been afforded many opportunities I never expected I’d get in the four-plus years I’ve covered local teams, and I appreciate every one of them. But I feel bad for Ms. Sainz, who worked too hard to get where she is to be publicly – nationally – “outed” as a peeping tom. Are you, engineers, doctors and lawyers to be, questioned about why you chose your field? I’m sure you are. But are your motives belittled and cheapened by people who should know better? Are you accused of wanting to hook up with every co-worker and client (so to speak) you come into contact with and called lovely things like “jersey chaser?” I hope not. I love sports. I am very fond of the male population. But believe it or not, Clinton Portis, those two concepts can be mutually exclusive. A female reporter may find a subject attractive and maintain professionalism – believe it or not, it can be done. I go into a locker room to get quotes and write my story, not to ogle and gawk. Trust me, there are far easier ways to do that than working your butt off for months or even years to earn that press pass around your neck. I have to believe that if someone refuses to believe that, the problem might be on their end. But for the more conservative pro athletes, several talking heads have proposed that an “interview room” separate
