While Senate Republican Richard Stevens introduced the budget as one that adequately funds the educational system and cuts the cost of government, not all senators agreed. Nine amendments to the budget were proposed, and many senators spoke out both for and against House Bill 200. But out of the nine amendments proposed to this budget, only one was passed—an amendment designed to keep the election schedule on track. The Technician broke down two of the most controversial amendments with how it is outlined in the bill paired with the strongest arguments for and against the amendment.

N.C. State and Campbell University are partnering up to offer graduate students a unique opportunity to obtain both a law degree and a business degree in record time. According to Melissa Essary, dean of the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law at Campbell University, graduate students will be able to obtain a J.D. and MBA more quickly than if pursued separately. “The biggest benefit is for students who are interested in getting both a J.D. from Campbell and an MBA from N.C. State,” Essary said. “This dual degree program cuts off a full year of college, saving both time and money.” Essary said the reasoning behind such a program is for students interested in either field to gain an appreciation for the other—since both business and law often work hand in hand. “These students will have a huge leg up in attaining significant places of leadership in both areas in business and law,” Essary said. “It’s a different world out there from even 20 years ago, and students from this program will be ready.” According to Mary Tetro, former coordinator of pre-law services who will be leaving the University as of June 14, this partnership will also dispel the myth that “all law schools students were humanities majors.” “The College of Management is the second largest feeder from N.C.

rants joining, and we are getting inquiries all the time. The only requirement we have is that the restaurants provide table service.” Gebremeskel said Triangle Restaurant Week is not exclusive to local restaurants and “there will be very upscale restaurants and very casual restaurants represented. “A lot of the chefs got creative with the menus, which shows their enthusiasm for the event,” she said. The expanded list of participants also includes Buku, located downtown on the corner of Wilmington Street and East Davie Street. The restaurant specializes in what Chef Tony Hopkins calls “global street food,” and the menu will feature dishes including sushi from Japan, Latino empanadas, Caribbean jerk chicken and steamed prawns in yellow curry sauce.
“Our vision is to give the menu at Buku a casual feel with dishes and prices, but we want to make it feel a tad upscale to make the experience more special,” Hopkins said. “We want to make the food like what street food is like in other countries, which they take seriously, so it requires a lot of research for us.” This will be the first restaurant week for Buku, and the global-street-food inspired menu will include a banana spring role and Filipino halo-halo, a shaved-ice/ice-cream confection, for dessert. “Restaurant week really gives the community something to look forward to and celebrate, and we’ve seen it do good things,” Buku manager Sean Degnan said. “If you look at a street like Wilmington Street in the past, it wasn’t as nice as it is now.
Things like this bring people out to experience it.” Chef Hopkins said he wants to reach out to people of all walks of life in the community, even students. Scott Crews, a recent graduate in biological sciences, went to restaurants The Big Easy and The Oxford during the Triangle Restaurant Week in January, and he said he appreciated the wider variety of restaurants. “For the quality of the food I got, the price was justified,” Crews said. “I enjoyed going out and seeing the community participate in this, but it didn’t seem like there were a lot to choose from last time. The bigger numbers will be good for more options.”

Contemporary Art Museum showcases new artists Museum keeps doors open on holiday, showcases both established and startup artists. Justin Rose Staff Writer
Even on a quiet Memorial Day weekend, the Raleigh Contemporary Art Museum – or CAM – which opened about a month ago, kept its doors open and offered locals a look at its two opening exhibitions. As an added bonus, admission is always free for N.C. State students and faculty. Dan Steinhilber, a Washington, DC-based established artist, as well as an emerging artist, Naoko Ito, created exhibitions on display for the rest of the summer. Elysia Borowy, the new executive director of CAM Raleigh, said the emerging artist series is aimed at inspiring new art students. “Part of our mission and exhibition schedule is to feature three emerging artist a year,” Borowy said. “We can give artists their first shows, help them with their resources, and spread their name and art to the public, which will hopefully inspire others.” CAM Raleigh also provided a few N.C. State students with opportunities to work at the
museum as interns this past spring. Rocio Lluch, architecture major and education intern, said her time there greatly expanded her knowledge of contemporary art museums and exhibitions, as well as her interest in building a strong foundation for youth in design and the arts. “I think it’s very important for younger kids to learn about design and museums,” Lluch said. “I gained a lot of knowledge and experience working during CAM’s grand opening. I also enjoyed working on projects that kids of all ages could enjoy, as well as unique projects from the current exhibitions for the community.” On her blog on CAM Raleigh’s website, Lluch explains how she worked with CAM’s partnership with New Sense Studios in a program which “offered the youth in our community an opportunity to experiment with their artistic abilities, to express themselves through design and art, and to create meaningful connections with our community.” The opportunities provided to students like Lluch underscore CAM’s outreach efforts to locals interested in art and design. Bowory said she encourages anyone interested to check out the new exhibitions.
Steinhilber’s ex hibition, “Hang on, Loosely,” incorporates themes of production, preservation and consumption, according to Kate Shafer, Gallery and Exhibitions Manager. These themes are very much present in one of the most eyegrabbing installations on display. Located in the main gallery, the sculpture features an inflatable mass of greenhouse plastic that rises to the ceiling. Generators keep the structure upright and filled with air, and a converted refrigerator serves as the front door. Inside the white blob are wrinkled walls and floors covered in a rainbow of confetti and torn grocery bags, which were melted on with various devices, such as makeshift “griddle shoes.” Hanging along the walls next to the inflatable sculpture are installations that incorporate elements of the building’s prior function as a cold storage produce warehouse. Steinhilber used shipping pallets tightly bound together with what looks like colored plastic wrap, and other materials usually associated as the discarded results of industry. Ito’s series, “Urban Nature,” incorporated common materials such as jars and wire to make the works accessible to everyone. The exhibition includes a large moss-like struc-

ture made of painstakingly knotted wire, which took her six months to complete, and a segmented tree branch with each of its sections preserved in stacked jars, which keep the branch’s original shape. Borowy said the free admission for NCSU students and faculty increases the accessibility and enjoyment of these exhibitions. In addition, she said she believes special program-
ming each first and third Friday of the month should encourage attendance and potentially inspire young artists and design students. “I hope students make the trip over here,” said Borowy. “You’re around like-minded people, and it’s very social. It can be a great source of inspiration and can make you think differently. It’s a great place to spend a Friday night”
While there currently aren’t any plans to directly feature students’ work, unlike galleries like the Fish Market, Borowy said the museum is fairly new, and the staff is still discussing potential programs for the future.
Benefit concert helps families impacted by April tornadoes Justin Rose Staff Writer
A free benefit concert, “Rise Up Raleigh,” will be held this Friday to raise funds for Raleigh’s worst hit victims of the April 16 tornadoes. As the event’s website states, the concert also aims to celebrate the community and efforts of everyone “who saved many lives and helped put back the pieces of many, many more.” Rise Up Raleigh will run from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the Raleigh Amphitheater and will feature 12 artists, both local and out of state, and feature a range of genres. The full lineup includes The Love Language, The Small Ponds, Young Cardinals, Marshetta Parker, Red Sonja Band, Marcy Playground, Alissa Morena, Motor Skills, Desafiados Musical, The Connells, and Kooley High. According to Jayne Kirkpatrick, director of the Raleigh Public Affairs Department, this concert is an unconventional attempt to help raise money and awareness for those affected by the tornadoes. “We wanted to see how to use the city’s assets to raise funds for the families that lost everything,” Kirkpatrick said. “This is about bringing the city together in light of a traumatic event.” According to Kirkpatrick, one thing was very clear from the start: “Every cent has to go to storm victims.” “We had an overwhelmingly positive response from the local and out-of-state bands we contacted,” Kirkpatrick said. “Unfortunately, because we had a planning timeframe of

Shaw students return to class for summer Despite heavy tornado damage just five weeks ago, Shaw University has reopened its doors. Justin Rose Staff Writer
Shaw University students returned to classes for the summer semester, running from May 23 to June 30, after much uncertainty concerning available resources. Tornado damage in mid-April forced the University to suspend classes for spring semester two weeks early. Sherri Fillingham, Shaw’s in-
terim marketing director, said the biggest concern for the University was student housing. Although their dorms are in adequate condition, the University cannot currently feed its students because the cafeteria – the most damaged building from the tornado – is still unusable. As a result, it’s hard for students to live on campus. Instead, Shaw has partnered with St. Augustine’s College, which offered housing for students. Students use shuttle buses, which run on a regular schedule, to commute to class between the two campuses. Fillingham said she thinks the service is working well.
“The only thing we can’t do right now is feed our students, but it seems like every time I look out my window, almost every hour, I see a bus taking students to campus,” Fillingham said. Approximately 400 students were cleared to begin classes last Monday, with another 200 awaiting clearance. Enrollment is down by about 100 students compared to the 2010 summer session. According to Fillingham, there will still be minor inconveniences for students in the fall, but everything else should be up and running.

THE FACTS:
Reinstate the pre-law program I
On June 13, 2011, prelaw services at N.C. State will be terminated. On May 18, 2011, N.C. State’s College of Management and Campbell University’s School of Law announced a new dual J.D. and MBA program that will now be offered.
OUR OPINION:
If N.C. State wishes to promote law school and continue in this direction of offering graduate opportunities in law, it should reinstate its pre-law program. It is hypocritical to cut the pre-law program in the same semester as the announcement of a new N.C. State law program.

cut pre-law was that “pre-law services serves only a small number of students.” However, pre-law serves not only those set on law school. Pre-law is an unusual track because it solely provides guidance, but does not have any mandatory requirements. Anyone who completes a four-year degree can apply to law school. Tetro, though disappointed about the termination of prelaw, said the Campbell law school is great; she says there aren’t negative effects from the decision, and that the decision was not affected by the termination of the pre-law services at State.

If GBLTs are going to be allowed in sports, I feel as if they need to have their own separate locker room to keep this tension at ease. So many times I feel that liberals have the
nership is a positive step for N.C. State; it is also possible that the termination of pre-law services was a step backward for students seeking to enter programs such as the one N.C. State now offers. The dual program with Campbell manifested two years ago, when the Campbell law school began developing in downtown Raleigh. Dean Weiss of Poole College of Management at N.C. State said there were many commonalities between the two programs, with fields such as intellectual properties and innovation, which are related to law and business. This means the N.C. State administration knew the
right of freedom of speech, but as soon as somebody says or does something that they do not agree with they are immediately punished and viewed as an outcast. I do not feel that the student newspaper, or any media for that matter, has the right to belittle somebody’s thoughts and feelings just because its staff does not feel the same way. Nathanael Groce senior, biological engineering
this dual degree program was about to begin when they made the decision to cut the pre-law program at N.C. State. It is simply illogical for the N.C. State administration to make these two contradictory decisions, especially within the same semester. It is like encouraging students to reach for the apples at the top of the tree but taking the ladder upon which they stand from under them. If N.C. State wishes to promote law school and other prestigious graduate programs, it should not take away the means to the end. The pre-law program undoubtedly served many students at N.C. State. If N.C. State wishes to continue in this direction, the only logical course of action is the reinstatement of the pre-law program.

Half a century, still unequal
n 1963 the Equal Pay Act was passed, which attempted to abolish the glaring wage disparity existing as a product of gender. Since 1963, the gap between wages for both genders ha s narrowed significantly, but Anokhi Shah the wage gap Viewpoint Editor still exists today. With the m ajor it y of students facing financial difficulties, rising unemployment, and the question of the value of a college degree, women often forget that there remains an equally pressing issue in our society impacting their future employment. In 2009, the American Community Survey of the U.S. Census Bureau collected information about undergraduate degrees. The aim of the survey was to see if the factor of undergraduate major significantly influenced later income. The survey uncovered, among other findings, significant earning differences by gender. Men earn more than women in each group of majors the Census provided, and men still make more than women in almost every individual major. The report only considered full-time workers. In the past, analysts would explain away the gender difference by saying that most women worked part-time; this explanation was inapplicable to the survey. On average, women earn between 70 and 95 percent of men’s salaries in a similar profession. Women earn a median weekly salary of about 80 percent of the salary of men, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as measured in 2008. When this number is 92.2 percent, as in the construction industry, the wage gap is not very significant. But when both men and women major in math, men earn a median of $75,000
annually while women earn a disappointing $54,000. The percentage of men’s earnings earned by women in a similar profession varies by state. In North Carolina, women earn 80 percent of men’s salaries, or more. North Carolina is one of the highest states in narrow wage gaps, along with New York, Washington D.C., and a few others. The gender wage gap isn’t necessarily a product of prevailing prejudice and discrimination, although there has been some evidence that women face differential treatment in the job market. One explanation for the wage gap is the different professions men and women tend to gravitate towards. PayScale —an online website with statistics about wages earned for most professions—conducted a study analyzing its data by gender. They found that in most jobs, the gender gap could be explained by the different career opportunities available to men and women. However, past the $100,000 annual earning mark, women earn just 87 percent of the salaries men receive. In these jobs, men and women likely have similar opportunities, and the gender gap may exist because of subjective measures, like presumed competency. There are many explanations for the same phenomena, but the fact is that the gender wage gap definitely still exists. The U.S. government created a legal standard that it still fails to follow almost half a century after its passing. The gender wage gap is significant and will be impacting our graduates and future graduates for years to come. With today’s economy, every penny counts, and it is unacceptable that after half a century women are still not receiving the same salaries as their male counterparts. Women at N.C. State entering the job market should not only know they deserve equal pay, they must also demand it.

Weigh the worth of college

uckerberg, Gates and Jobs are all billionaires who built their empires without a college degree. Now Peter Thiel, founder of Paypal, is actually paying people not to go to college. Thiel is offering $100,000 Josh Lucas for a select Staff Columnist 2 0 i n d ividuals under the age of 20 to not enroll in, or actually drop out of, college. Even if you are not a genius-entrepreneur under 20, some thought should be given to whether or not your time is more valuable away from the university setting. The primary factor to consider when discussing college is cost. Financially, N.C. State is a bargain when compared to other universities, landing ninth on the Princeton Review’s best values in public education
list. However, compared to not going to college at all, the cost is daunting. With tuition increases inundating an already costly system, it is not surprising that nationally 85 percent of this year’s graduates will have to move back home due to a mountain of debt—$27,200 on average, according to GkBusiness. The cost of college can hinder your career ambitions. With high college debt it becomes all but impossible to pay off student loans on an intern’s salary, likely forcing graduates into a field outside of their interest just to pay off their loans. People plan to persist their dream after their loans are paid off, but by that time, responsibility has past the point of perusal, making their dream nothing but a cocktail topic. Another cost associated with college is the cost of time. Four years spent as a fulltime student, in the prime of your youth, can hinder ambitions. When my friend—a selftaught computer programmer —was 12, he was making $14.70 a hour. His skill set proves his
time here is likely just delaying the development of the next Google. There are many benefits of going to college; however, it is likely that those benefits are maximized by those who find their cost of enrollment to be the least. An ambition for a career in philosophy is not hindered by the cost of college in time or later fiscal restrictions; enrollment in college is par for the course, and benefits greatly from the college experience. The cost and benefits of going to college are relative to the individual. For some it will cost more, for others it will cost less. For some the benefits of college will be invaluable and for others it’ll be worthless. All of this is to say college for some is a good choice and for others a fruitless effort. If college will not better your skill set, if college will hinder your career ambitions, if no personal gain is made through your enrollment, then I ask you—why are you here?

Exercising tips for the heat THE SUMMER IS A FUN TIME TO GO OUTSIDE, BUT THERE ARE PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE EXERCISE STORY BY KATIE EVANS | PHOTOS BY LUIS ZAPATA & LEANNA OSISEK
T
he beauty of summer lures many to enjoy the outdoors, but one must be careful while staying active during the summer in order to avoid the risks the heat presents. North Carolina is privileged to have long, summer days that promote using nature as a gym, but with sunshine comes humidity, scorching temperatures and uncontrollable sweating. Before making the transition, here are tips from experts on campus to keep workouts safe in the heat: According to Natalie Freeland, assistant director of fitness at University Recreation, it’s important to get a physician’s consent before starting any exercise program. “This is crucial to one’s health, especially if exercising outside. First make sure you’re in the clear,” Freeland said. Try to work out before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. Between those times is the hottest, most humid part of the day. “I prefer to work out early in the morning, when the sun isn’t as strong,” Leia Eldreth, fitness instructor at University Recreation, said. According to her, starting the day with a heart-pumping workout kick starts the metabolism and starts the day off well.
My Morning Jacket rebounds with Circuital
PICK
Kentucky band brings its first quality record since 2005.
It’s a shame we don’t get a local date because the new record, Circuital, is the strongest My Morning Jacket release since 2005’s Z. The songs are arena-huge, both topically and sonically, and the songwriting is on-point. Circuital, which was mostly recorded live in a church gymnasium, is soaked in natural reverb. So many things about the record sound natural or intuitive, much like the hybrid southern rock this band has been playing since the late 1990s. It’s a return to form for a band whose last outing, 2008’s Evil Urges, disappointed on many counts. In a way, Circuital is an extension of the things that worked so well on Z. There’s strong musicianship and a healthy balance between the serious and the absurd, but it’s also a new creature. Though the roots of My Morning Jacket’s earlier catalog are obviously present, this is a record by a band that doesn’t stand still. There are few retreads on Circuital. Opening track “Victory Dance” is a psychedelic slow-burner calling to mind The Flaming Lips’ Embryonic, an equally enormous record. On “The Day is Coming,” vocalist Jim James – aka Yim Yames – employs R&B phrasing over delicious stutter-step percussion. Overall, it’s reminiscent of Seal’s “Kiss From a Rose.” And on gentle songs like “Movin’ Away” and “Wonderful (The Way I Feel),”
Burmese refugees seek therapy through art Locals help affected children who have fled a civil war in Myanmar and long stays at refugee camps.
OF THE WEEK
We’re not likely to see My Morning Jacket in the Raleigh area any time soon. Last time through, restrictive noise ordinances at Cary’s Koka Booth Amphitheater prevented the Kentucky band from going full-volume, and the show experience suffered. So it’s no surprise that this current tour only sees one North Carolina stop: Charlotte.
Anita Flick, director of health professions advising, recommends wearing loose, light colored clothing. The loose clothing will help with sweating, and the light colors will reflect heat. Flick also recommended covering one’s head and wearing wide brim hats to create personal shade. “Drink extra water, unless your doctor tells you otherwise,” Flick said. “Keep fluids up and avoid alcohol and drinks with caffeine, as they increase urine output,” Flick said. She also said to stay hydrated before, during, and after working out. “As long as you listen to your body and practice proper precautions before taking your workout outside, you’ll be fine,” Tim Martin, fitness instructor and senior in nutrition, said.
Circuital
My Morning Jacket ATO
James’ folk rock-born lyrics express common sentiment without undue embellishment. “I’m going where the living is easy and people are kind,” he sings in the latter. But most surprising – and most addicting – is “Holding On To Black Metal.” Not only is the track funny and insightful, but it also reveals a band that’s aware of what’s trending in the music world as a whole. Black metal started in the Netherlands, and the genre’s early history is lousy with murder, suicide and church-torchings. The style has resurged without violence in American independent music. “Oh, black metal’s so misunderstood,” James sings with a wink in this impressive piece of pop culture criticism. He’s making fun of the absurd trappings of the genre, sure, but without being mocking or mean-spirited. With vocal backing from the nine “black metal girls” credited, incisive lyrics, and a rollicking country-rock feel, it’s a phenomenally catchy track. And it’s a fairly representative cut from Circuital: the best reason in six years to be excited about My Morning Jacket.

to the General Fund. Senator Jenkins: We all know the Highway Patrol is a critical body of the Department of Transportation. Its main mission is to protect our highways. What this amendment does is two things. One is it sets the floor for 10 percent of the highway fund set aside for the Highway Patrol annually. The highway fund as well all know fluctuates with good times and bad times. The second thing is does is that if these funds are transferred from the highway fund to the general fund they can only be used for the use of the Highway Patrol. One further thing I’ll point out here is 30 percent of the funding this amendment has to go to the bail out of the VIPER system, which is critical for law enforcement.

Bhambri shatters Wolfpack record at NCAAs Sanaa Bhambri and Sandhya Nagaraj raise the bar for women’s tennis. Josh Hyatt Staff Writer
Three hours and 40 minutes. That’s how long the battle between senior Sanaa Bhambri and California’s Tayler Davis carried on in the first round of the NCAA Singles Championship on May 25 in Palo Alto, Calif. Bhambri, ranked No. 28 in the nation, managed to outlast No. 55 Davis after three intense sets, the first and last of which ended in tiebreakers. The final score: 6-7 (2-7), 6-3, 7-6 (7-3). The result — Bhambri became the first female tennis player in N.C. State history to win a match and advance to the round of 32 teams as a singles player in the individual tournament. Bhambri responded humbly when she realized she has set a new school record. “That wasn’t something that was on my mind,” Bhambri said. “It’s not even anything that I’ve thought about all year; but it’s nice to know it’s a record. I’d be glad if it was bro-
ken sooner than later. It’s only good that the program keeps growing and getting better.” After breaking into stride with a win on the first day of competition, Bhambri set her sights on Stanford’s No. 43 Stacy Tan. After winning the first set 7-5, Bhambri dropped two straight sets, 3-6, 1-6, to end her college career in singles play. A few hours later, Bhambri was back on the court with doubles partner Sandhya Nagaraj for the opening match of the doubles tournament. Ranked No. 17 in the nation, the duo focused their efforts upon the No. 13 team from the University of Washington. Unfortunately, the two were outplayed by the Huskies and defeated 4-6, 3-6, marking the end of both of their college tennis careers. Bhambri showed mixed feelings once recognizing that her career had met its end. “It’s bittersweet,” Bhambri said. “I wish I had another year. I think considering it was my only year competing in college tennis, it was my goal to make the most of it. I think I succeeded in doing that.” Even though Bhambri set a new record in singles play, it would be
foolish to not acknowledge the contribution from her doubles partner, Sandhya Nagaraj. Together, Bhambri and Nagaraj ranked as high as No. 7 in the nation as a doubles team and made a respectable appearance at the NCAA tournament. Coach Hans Olsen described just how difficult it is to qualify for the NCAA tournament as a doubles team. “The doubles is an elite group,” Olsen said. “It’s a 32-team draw. They have six or seven at-large teams in there so you have to be a top 25 team to play in that field. All of the teams are really good. I thought that both girls just had a great year overall and really deserved and earned their spots in this tournament.” Nagaraj shared her teammate’s sentiment but wishes that more of her other teammates could have been there to share their experience. “It was the first time that I’ve been to the NCAA,” Nagaraj said. “It was exciting to see the rest of the players compete and being a part of it. I learned a lot of things. It was kind of lonely, though. It would have been really great if everyone could have made it with us. A lot of teams came with a lot of people in different

With Ryan Harrow going to Kentucky, do you feel like you have more pressure when you get to State? Or are you more excited to get to play more at the point guard position? Lewis: I feel so much more excited now. I was really close to Ryan, and I hated to see him go. But, everything happens for a reason. I’m not happy that he left, but I’m really excited about the opportunity to have my natural position open up and hopefully get more opportunities to start.
field that would put the Tigers up for good. Chris Epps crushed the Pack’s hopes of advancing when he slugged a home run for the Tigers in the seventh, and a run in the eighth finished the game 6-3 over the Pack. Instead of State playing in the title game it would be Florida State, who was later overpowered by three homers by Virginia on Sunday, when the Cavaliers won the 2011 ACC Baseball Championship 7-2.

With the experience from their achievements and the addition of two incoming freshmen from the UK, coach Olsen thinks this is just a first taste of better things to come next season. “The rest of the girls on the team want to be in that tournament,” Olsen said. “They really want to excel past the round of 32. We ended up in the round of 32 in everything — singles, doubles, and as a team. It’s a young team next year and a lot of them have the talent to be in the individual tournament at the end of the year. “It will be difficult and lot of work, but I think they all have that vision after seeing what Sanaa [Bhambri] and Sandhya [Nagaraj] did this year. Just having those experiences and everyone being around that success gives the confidence everyone needs to do more of that. This year has been a big part of what we plan on doing next year.”
Despite missing its shot at a conference championship, the Wolfpack will go on to play in Colombia, S.C. in the NCAA tournament as a No. 3 in regional play. The Pack will be joined with host and defending champs of the College World Series, South Carolina (4514), Georgia Southern (36-24) and Stetson (41-18). On Friday, State will take on No. 2 Stetson at 1 p.m. “Our confidence is high right now and we’re playing good ball,” Ciencin said. “It’s the little things this year that are going to help us in the NCAA tournament, like getting runs in when we have to.”

Recruit opens up about coaching changes and where the program is headed. Cory Smith
Technician: How excited were you about the addition of Torian Graham to your class? Lewis: I’ve been good friends with Torian for a long time. He’s definitely an outstanding player, and I feel he’s the top player in our class. He can get it done in so many ways and he doesn’t lack any confidence with his shot. We’re both working to get Rodney [Purvis] to come here with us, but I’m happy that me and Torrian will be playing on the same team. He’s a really big addition for this team.

When players sign on with a program, they make a commitment to the University, the team and most of all — the head coach. 2012 4-star point guard Tyler Lewis agreed to play basketball with N.C. State last year with former head coach Sidney Lowe. In the year that followed, the basketball team would suffer through a horrid season that would subsequently lead to Lowe stepping down. While many players decided to either decommit from the program, such as 2011 center Joseph Uchebo, or depart for greener pastures, Lewis decided to stick with the program that he verbally committed to. This past weekend, Lewis had two standout performances with his AAU team, Team Loaded, scoring 26 points with 11 assists in the first game and scoring 47 points in the second game of the weekend, falling just three points short of Mike Miller’s Bob Gibbons tournament record. Technician sat down with the 2012 recruit to discuss the changes to the coaching staff, his connection to the assistant coaches, his excitement about other recruits and looking ahead to when he arrives with the Wolfpack. Technician: How have you felt about all of the recent changes with the basketball team? Tyler Lewis: I’m pretty happy with the way things have gone so far. I knew most of the assistant
Technician: Who would you say your game is most similar to in college or the NBA? Lewis: A lot of people compare me to Steve Nash. While we may not be the quickest players on the court, our court vision and smart decision-making abilities really make us stand out.

coaches before they got here. Coach [Bobby] Lutz and coach [Rob] Moxley recruited me when they were at Charlotte. I’ve also built a relationship with coach Gottfried and I feel pretty comfortable with him. Overall, I feel like N.C. State is the best place for me, and I like the new coaches a lot, so it couldn’t have been a better situation.
Technician: With your brother playing at UNC-Charlotte, how well did you know coaches [Bobby] Lutz and [Rob] Moxley before they came to State? Lewis: I’m already really close with coach Lutz and Moxley. They’ve sort of recruited me since the eighth grade. I lived about 35 minutes away from their
Technician: What player on the roster right now are you most excited about playing with in 2012? Lewis: C.J. Leslie. He’s extremely athletic and I feel that I can just get the ball inside to him and he can get the job done. On the other hand, I would love to play with Scott Wood because he is such a great shooter on the outside. I also love the way that [Loren] zo Brown plays the game because he can step into either the two-guard or point position and be confident. When he stepped in for Harrow last year he proved that he is a versatile player.
