Harper named women’s basketball coach WOMEN’S BASKETBALL PROGRAM REPLACES GLANCE, HIRES THIRD COACH IN ITS 35-YEAR HISTORY STORY BY KATE SHEFTE & LINDSEY HALL

I

f there is one word that describes the women’s basketball history at the University, it’s consistency. The program, which started in 1974, has had only two head coaches during its first 35 years. Thursday afternoon, the program got its third — Kellie Harper. Harper, a graduate of the University of Tennessee and the women’s basketball coach at Western Carolina University for the last five years, replaces the late Kay Yow, who died of breast

cancer Jan. 24. Yow, who served as the head coach from 1975 until her death in January, amassed 729 wins during her coaching career and led the Wolfpack to five

ACC regular season championships. She also coached the United States to a gold medal in the 1988 Olympics. Harper comes to Raleigh with a successful resume of her own from her

time at WCU. Harper’s teams compiled 97 wins in her five seasons and won the Southern Conference twice. The Wolfpack’s new head coach played college basketball for Tennessee under head coach Pat Summitt. She was a member of three national championship teams at UT and earned honorable mention AllAmerica honors in 1999. Athletics Director Lee Fowler,

Chancellor James Oblinger and the Board of Trustees chose Harper to take the job after conducting a job search which lasted more than month. Throughout the search rumors suggested interim head coach Stephanie Glance, who served on Yow’s staff for 15 years and took over following Yow’s death, would get the position.

For the full story on Harper’s hire, see page eight.

Fans cheer on the Wolfpack during the Central Florida game Sept. 1, 2007. The band U2 will take the field Oct. 3 for the first concert in Carter-Finley Stadium in more than 10 years.

Carter-Finley to host U2 in fall U2’s choice of Carter-Finley for 360° Tour will boost local economy, give back to fans Peggy Boone Senior Photographer

It has been more than 10 years since Carter-Finley Stadium has catered to thousands of screaming fans on the field rather than restricted to the stands, but U2’s 360° Tour will bring Carter-Finley back into show business on Oct. 3. Raleigh is on the list of 16 North American cities that Bono and his crew will visit this fall. Jimmy Buffet was the last to perform on Wolfpack’s home football turf back in 1998, but according to Ray Brincefield, assistant athletic director for outdoor facilities, the dry spell has not been due to lack of requests. We get calls from promoters about concerts all the time,” Brincefield said. “In the 90s we did a lot of stadium shows, but since then, whenever something comes up we are always either under construction or in the middle of football season.” The Athletics Department is willing to work with promotion companies such as Live Nation, but sporting events remains the department’s chief concern, Brincefield said. “We don’t usually like doing events like this in football season,” Brincefield said. “In our mission statement our number one priority is N.C.

students. It seems the stars just happened to align for this event to take place, though, according to Dick Christy, associate athletic director of external affairs. Christy said the circumstances worked out for the best. “This is a stadium tour and Carter-Finley was a great location, good size, in a great city, and our football team was away during the window they wanted to have the show,” Christy said. “The last concert we hosted in Carter-Finley was prior to any renovations, so this show will be a great opportunity to showcase the venue that Carter-Finley has become.” The University and Raleigh will see an increase in revenue and notoriety from hosting the concert, which is the main reason behind the Athletic Department’s decision to allow the Pack’s football stadium to host the event in the middle of the season. “We wanted to take this opportunity to be able to boost the local economy,” Brincefield said. “The week of the show will give extra

Moore was unavailable for comment. Jose Picart, vice provost for diversity and inclusion, will serve as interim dean until the position is filled. Picart has been a part of the college as a professor for five years. “I’m really excited and I’m a little nervous,” he said. “As you might imagine, just stepping into a new role always presents a bit of trepidation.” Picart said the decision came as a surprise, but also said he is privileged to serve as interim dean. “It’s a great college and they are doing some great things,” he said. “I look forward to the opportunity of working with faculty, students and staff to continue to move them forward while they look for a new dean.” Picart said the college has a wonderful vision for its future and he plans to pick up where Moore left off. “We want to keep strengthening programs, conduct great research, teach students well and send out some great teachers that will go and serve the state,” he said. “I am so proud of what teachers do and what they are about.” Tracy Cottrell, a sophomore in math education, said because of the contributions Moore made

to the college, it may be hard for Picart to fill her shoes. “Everyone may doubt if he can measure up to her so he will have to prove us wrong,” Cottrell said. “She was a really great person for what she did. She will be missed.” During her tenure, the University created the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation on Centennial Campus, which is a center advocating to improve teaching and learning, and began a new undergraduate degree in elementary education. Kathryn Doyle, a senior in elementary education, said her major is a great program. “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot from it,” she said. “With Moore being the one that created it, it’s definitely sad to see her go.” Picart said Moore will help him transition into the position. “I’m looking forward to working with her and for her to advise and guide me,” he said. “I’m going to take time to talk to all of leadership so I can think about long and short term goals.” Most importantly, Picart said he is honored the University has confidence in him. “To think I have an opportunity to produce teachers and leaders for our school, that’s humbling,” he said. “Teachers are heroes.”

THROUGH DANIEL’S LENS

CAMPUS CALENDAR April 2009

In the page-one story “Team searches for ‘new’ Vista,” Science & Tech Editor Alison Harman incorrectly wrote that a new course management system will run in parallel with Blackboard Vista for three months. It will actually run in parallel for three semesters. In the page-five story “Startup news sites push local beats,” the story incorrectly attributed where C. Duncan Pardo, Raleigh Public Record founder, paid for his startup news organization. It should have stated that he paid for it out of pocket. In the page-eight Wolf Fact “Harper announced women’s basketball coach,” the headline was misleading and the source was inaccurate. The N.C. State Athletics Department had not yet announced Harper as coach at the time of publication. In the page-two feature photo, the caption incorrectly attributed where the photo was taken. It was on the first floor of Broughton Hall.

Boy dives off 13-story building

A 9-year-old boy from New York City, Domori Miles, made a plastic parachute and flew off a 13-story Brooklyn apartment building Tuesday. He died on impact. The plastic bag and rope were found on the ground near his body. Shaka Murrel, a 10-year-old friend of Miles, said Miles was a fan of the video game “WWE SmackDown vs. Raw” and could have been imitating wrestler Jeff Hardy’s dives. World Wrestling Entertainment said no “SmackDown vs. Raw” characters jump off buildings or use parachutes. SOURCE: WRAL.COM

Nurse called out of surgery for lay off

A manager called a nurse out of surgery at Dean’s West Clinic in Wisconsin to inform her she was being laid off. Although the surgery was minor and the patient was unaffected, the manager violated medical protocol. The absence of a nurse is a direct violation of patient care procedures. The health care clinic announced mid-week its plans to immediately lay off 90 employees. Paul Pitas, a spokesman from the clinic, declined to give names of the employees or the type of surgery that was taking place

when the nurse was called. SOURCE: WRAL.COM

Thirty members of his gang were also arrested, the El Tiempo newspaper reported. Colombian government offered $2.1 million for information leading to his arrest. Uribe called Rendon “one of the most feared narcotraffickers and criminals in the world.” Defense Minister Juan Manual Santos said authorities had been focusing on Rendon’s capture for nine months. Rendon’s brother, Freddy Rendon Herrera, is in prison for his drug operation.

Brincefield said. “It’s a credit to fans for a band like U2 to want to use their stadium.â€? N.C. State students and Wolfpack Club members were given first dibs on tickets through a pre-sale period that spanned from April 14 to April 16 online through Ticketmaster and Live Nation. Season ticket holders will also have the right to purchase their regular seats first before the spots are opened up to the general public. Students like Tyler Smither, a senior in middle grades and language arts with a social studies concentration, are ecstatic about the opportunity to see the storied band play in Raleigh, whether they are veteran fans of U2 or experiencing a live show for the first time. Smither was able to see them play in Charlotte, NC during the Vertigo Tour in 2005. “I paid $300 for my ticket, and it was worth every penny,â€? Smither said. He is also paying $95 to travel to see the band in Charlottesville, Va. before they come to Raleigh for the 360° Tour, and may also purchase a ticket for the Raleigh show. “The 360° design is perfect for a U2 show,â€? he said. “They are so incredible live, and the energy is something that you have to experience to understand. By having the band surrounded by fans, it will make the guys on stage react to the audience even more so than with a regular stage set-up.â€? Melissa McGough, a freshman in psychology and long-time fan of U2, plans to attend the concert and said she inherited her love for the band from

her parents. “I have been a fan of U2 pretty much since I could walk,� McGough said. “I have never seen them live but my parents have and they said it was one of the best concerts they have ever attended, and they have been to a lot of concerts. I have not bought tickets yet but I’m willing to spend as much as I need to.�

2009 to July 1, 2010

The College Cost Reduction and Access Act, which former President George W. Bush signed in 2007, will take effect July 1, reducing the interest rates of student loans by .68 percent and increasing the Pell Grant maximum by $1,000, according to the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators. The act intends to cut interest rates of student loans in half by 2012. Despite the University’s plans to cut its budget by 5 percent, the act ensures students’ protection in financing their education. Julie Rice-Mallette, director of the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid said there will actually be an increase in federal financial aid funds available for 2009-10. “While other areas of the economy are being negatively impacted, the University is anticipating increases in state and institutional support,� she said. “It hopes the increase will be sufficient to meet the rising demands for financial aid.� Rice-Mallette said she is unsure if the funds available will be sufficient to meet demand. Ashley Hudson, a sophomore in First Year College who received a Federal Stafford loan, said the government should continue running the act. “If the government spent the money elsewhere, it would not bring a major change right now,� she said. “But in education it helps individual families a lot.� Sarah Johnson, a freshman in psychology, said the act

could be improved by creating the availability of funds to an even broader spectrum of students. “With today’s economy, higher education is becoming even more unrealistic than before,� Johnson said. “Anything the government can do to help support students should be done now. People going to school and getting specialized careers will serve the country’s economy in the long-run.� Alison McCoy, a statistics administrative support associate, said she agrees that funding education is the best way the government can spend its money right now. “Investing in education is a better return of American money,� she said. McCoy compared The College Cost Reduction Act to the G.I. Bill, which provided college education for returning World War II veterans. “The money spent then was returned multiplied,� she said. However, McCoy disagreed with The College Cost Reduction Act’s forgiveness of loans 20 years upon graduating, if economic hardship is proved. “Those receiving loans need to understand that loan money is borrowed, hence, it needs to be paid back and go to the next person,� McCoy said.

Evaluate worthiness of animals During the course of an average day, I find myself asking the same age-old question — whose pertinence has yet to fade over the several millennia of human existence. “What have animals done for me lately?� The nature of this question is borderline rhetorical, as it is merely a segue to a longer and much deeper chain of thought. Coming to a sound conclusion on the nature of animals (in groups, or one animal in specific) involves a series of inquiries to be answered sequentially: Can I use this animal for my personal transportation? Can I ride it? If yes, it’s a cool animal. Rock on animal. Can this animal sit in my lap or sit nearby while I am relaxing and be petted with relative ease? If yes, it’s a cool animal. Can I eat this animal/does this animal or its unfertilized embryos taste good when prepared right and served alongside a vegetable medley? If yes, it’s a cool animal. Can I or someone else engage in physical combat with this animal/ will it be entertaining to others if I do so? If yes, then it is definitely a cool animal. Is this animal’s biological constitution similar to that of man? Follow up question: Can this animal be used in discerning the nature of previously unexplored areas, like outer space, the south pole, or the deep sea? If yes, then this animal is both cool AND scientifically relevant. If during the consideration of an animal or group of animals, you answer “no� to all of these questions, then you are back at square one.

he College Cost Reduction Act, signed by former President George W. Bush in 2007, benefits students and does exactly what the title says. The act, which will last through the 2012-2013 year, will cut the student loan rate to 5.44 percent July 1, down from 6.8 percent in 2006. The overall goal is to decrease the interest rate of student loans to 3.4 percent, which will take place July 12, 2013, according to the National Association of Student Financial Aid and Administrators. This is beneficial because it will make college more affordable to students who need loans

If they do have one, those Web sites should be Jake Goldbas upgraded, Staff Columnist a nd kept informed for better programs out there. By programs I mean learning tools and assignments. To know the reading schedule for that overly simple class with one professor, one essay, and one set of readings, some of us have to go digging through piles of e-mails to find a syllabus instead of getting the file straight from Vista or Webassign. This means putting up the syllabus online will make things easier. Class discussions, the good type of class interactions, can many times just as easily be taken to a discussion board without any harm to the single text or single assignment the professor wants to teach. Only good can come out of continuing discussion outside of class. Likewise, people should tell

their teachers that participation on the discussion boards can be graded, too. If we checked our classes and relevant material as much as we checked our Facebook and Myspace accounts, our grades would be better, guaranteed. For example, the library’s Web site offers widgets for cell phones and Facebook. Instead of researching or stalking your latest crush, you can research and stalk at the same time. Tell your professors to point out the appropriate widgets or make a widget-program for the classes you are taking. (If they aren’t savvy they should ask the engineering school). We should build better digital learning selves online and here I mean on Vista, on course Web sites, on Webassign, on Maple and so on. Our digital identity is much larger than Myspace would have us believe. For example, why can’t professors start a Ning group Web site or have students as a group Twitter about the assignments? Many of the old sites that professors use need to be refurbished. Did you know every course has an automatically generated research-Web site from our Library-Sciences department? Neither did your professors. You just go onto the school library page, click on library tools, and select the course. The Library sciences people have

already listed your course reserves, helpful databases, some digital research tools on the computer and some concrete (like calculators and GPS systems) hardware that they think you might need. They even have live chat with people who have masters in library science. Remember that 1873 leather bound textbook that’s only available in UNC-Greensboro that your professor was talking about? You and your professor can find it through D.H. Hill, and generally speaking, neither of you know this. And I don’t even have to mention how unappealing and not user-friendly MyPack Portal is. MyPack Portal is truly too hard to use and obviously professors have no contact with it whatsoever. But this is poor judgment because the whole point of the school is the professors. Professors who do not understand technology or do not post syllabi and relevant content on their pages should be urged to take a class on technology from our Engineering school. They need to be respectfully told this through course evaluations. Let Jake know your thoughts at letters@technicianonline. com.

ate. Students need as much help as they can get, and legislation like this helps needy college students earn degrees, and gives them the extra boost they need to pursue higher education. This can also help make college more affordable for people who wish to stay in school until the job market heals. The University not only cut classes but tuition and fees continue to rise, so it is good to see the government doing something to help students without raising taxes or creating more federal debt.

But the government must be careful and make sure it balances the budget. It must make sure to meet both ends decrease federal spending and decrease student loan rates. This type of legislation shows the government is concerned about students, and it should always make efforts to make college more affordable. It is good to see the leaders taking a stand for college students and thinking proactively. The government should continue to keep students in mind because they need as much financial help as possible.

especially Coach Yow who’s family was the team and its coaches, and now Lee Fowler is turning his back on a woman who has given 15 years of dedication and hard work to help Kay Yow develop a talented and well respected women’s program. Who better to continue a program of respect, tradition and talent that our school hungers for in other programs, than Glance? You mean you are really willing to bring in someone new who will change everything about our program — someone who does not know what NCSU women’s basketball is all about and let her try to start over, after Yow dedicated nothing short of her whole life to the program and making sure Glance would be able to continue such work? You want all of our athletic programs to be as prestigious as others around the country, but you are unwilling to let them do so by developing themselves with coaches who are dedicated to the school, the fans and more importantly the players they coach. It only makes sense that the program would be best suited to move forward with someone who can directly continue the inspiration and legacy that Yow left behind. Unless of course, you didn’t appreciate what Glance helped Coach Yow dedicate her life to doing. I want the program to continue to move forward, but, Mr. Fowler, you seem to only want to take it backward. Rudy Salas senior, sports management Mascots needs to look more menacing In response to “Mascots need makeover,� by Mansoor Omar Wednesday’s paper, I’d like to say that I applaud Omar for addressing this issue. I thought I was the only person who thought our mascot looked so ridiculously cartoonish and soft. I don’t mind the incorrect proportions, because all mascots are like that, but at least make Mr. Wuf look more menacing! And, no offense to all those who adore her, but Mrs. Wuf just needs to go. It’s bad enough to have Mr. Wuf look like he’s going to give you cotton candy and a balloon, we don’t need a mascot in a dress and panty hose! Every other school in the Atlantic Coast Conference has made its mascot look intimidating, why can’t ours look as fierce as a wild wolf is supposed to be? Even if we don’t win every football or basketball game, can we at least have a mascot that looks like he put up a fight instead of retreat into the fetal position?

Textiles’ seniors showcase talent DESIGNERS SHOW OFF COLLECTIONS FOR PRIZES AND RECOGNITION College of Textiles presents their seniors in a fashion show on Centennial Campus Sarah Ewald Staff Writer

The third annual fashion show for senior fashion development students, held Thursday in the College of Textiles courtyard at 8 p.m., showcased the semesterlong work of 21 designers, taught by associate professor of fashion and textile management Cynthia Istook. During the course of the semester, Istook worked individually with the students in creating their collections. “We negotiated what they had to do, and there were criticisms where advice of what to change or fix was given,” Istook said. Istook said despite her involvement, the garments seen were all the students’ designs. A wide range of preparations was needed to ensure the night would be a success. For the designers, tasks ranged from finding people to do hair and make-up to booking models with a fierce strut. The Student and Career Services office sold tickets and students volunteered to sell tickets on the night of the show. A facilities crew worked with some students to construct the runway over the reflecting pool. The College of Textiles set up the catwalk in the courtyard of the college. Luminaries lined the sidewalk and a platform jutted out into the middle of the reflecting pond. Strings of white lights were draped around the sides, and assistants were seen placing votive candles in the water to be lit later in the night. As the lights went down, strings of lights around the catwalk and lights positioned on the side of the pond facing the runway were switched on. Designs ranged from one end of the spectrum to another. Emily Robbins, a senior in fashion and textile management, showed a collection of night wear — her models sporting baby-doll bows in their hair, some of which were dressed up in 1960s bouffants and flips. Her collection featured baby-doll dresses with empire waists, loose v-neck tops, and pajama pants in hues of white, pink and green. Kelley Loeffler, a senior in textile and apparel management, created her own floral designs using the College of Textiles digital design lab. Her silhouettes were inspired by the 1950s, and her collection featured many bell skirts that held their shape. Her designs also paid tribute to modernity in ways such as a dress having contrasting colors inserted in its sides. Loeffler’s models made their appearances on the runway while balancing plates of cupcakes on their palms.

Mor Aframian, a senior in textile and apparel management, was the only designer to design a full line of menswear. Her collection, entitled “License to Kill”, embodied clothes for a cool and confident man. Many shirts were button-down, with a contrasting blue or tan panel over the back yoke of the shirt. “I wanted to do something different that was challenging, and I wanted to focus on how to put garments together correctly,” Aframian said. After each designer had shown their collection, Istook thanked certain designers who had helped put together the show. Each designer was also brought back onstage with a model while the audience voted for their favorite for the people’s choice award. The categories for prizes were casual, day wear, cocktail and evening wear, and each category had a $200 runner-up and $500 first prize. For casual wear, Cherihan Lusk, fashion and textile management, was the runnerup and Kim Ray, a senior in textile and apparel management, won first place. Katie McCree, textile and apparel management, was the runner-up in day wear and Mor Aframian took first place. For cocktail attire, Laurel Saunders, senior in textile and apparel management, was the runnerup, while Caroline Cockerham, senior in textile and apparel management, won first place. In evening wear, Amy Mathys, senior in textile and apparel management, was the runner-up, and Katrina Kaplanis, senior in textile and apparel management, took first place. “Winning was a really good surprise, since I’ve never won anything,” Aframian said. Kaplanis also won best in show from the panel of judges, and earned an $800 prize. For peoples’ choice, Caroline Cockerham scored another win, adding another $500 prize to her previous prize. Cockerham’s collection showed many oversized details, such as a rosette that covered the bodice of one dress and an oversized angled bow on another dress. Kaplanis’ designs revolved around flowers and used the motif of white rosettes throughout her collection. She began her collection by creating all the white rosettes by hand, as well as painted roses and scanned them into a computer program to create her printed fabric. “I worked until today. I was still stitching rosettes on a dress earlier,” Kaplanis said. Kaplanis said that she was excited and happy about her work being recognized. “I didn’t expect to be in evening wear, and also to win best in show. But even if I hadn’t won, it still would have been fun,” Kaplanis said.

CAMPUS SPOTLIGHT University could save the world Doctoral candidate in aerospace engineering David French has found a way of effectively diverting asteroids and other threatening objects from impacting Earth. French found that by attaching a tether and ballast to the incoming object, its center of mass will be changed and ultimately alter the object’s orbit. French studied his theory along with associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering Andre Mazzoleni and found his system could effectively alter the motion of an asteroid to ensure it missed Earth. The research, titled “Trajectory Diversion of an Earth-Threatening Asteroid via Elastic, Massive Tether-Ballast System,” has been accepted for presentation this September at the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics SPACE 2009 Conference and Exposition.

University, to this program. I can’t be her. I wish I could, but I have to be me. And that’s, in my opinion, the best way that I can honor her.” Harper’s new players spoke highly of Stephanie Glance, the interim head coach who led the team efficiently during a time of uncertainty and sadness. “I would like to thank NC State University for affording me the chance to be a part of such a fine institution for the last 15 years,” Glance said in an official statement. “I am saddened today that I will not have the opportunity to be the next head coach for the women’s basketball program. I would like to especially thank the fans, former players, and coaches from around the country who have sent letters, emails, and made phone calls on my behalf. Thank you sincerely for your support! I am most grateful for the lessons learned from the legendary Coach Kay Yow!w These will stay with me

for a lifetime! I wish her successor the best.” Holston said she and her teammates would adjust well to the coaching change. “Coach Glance was there on our recruiting visits and got to know us and coach us,” Holston said. “With everything that’s gone on, we definitely became emotionally attached to her. But at the same time, I’m excited to welcome our new coach, get to work and see where she takes us.” Sophomore Tia Bell summed up the past several months with a few well-chosen words and a promise for the future. “Sport is a business. I’m just pleased with the closure,” Bell said. “There’s been grieving and uncertainty. But at the same time, we’re going to build on that and succeed.” As for who will replace Harper at Western Carolina, Harper offered a concept that will sound familiar to followers of the N.C. State coaching search. “I will not have a say in who replaces me, but I think my opinion is valuable,” Harper said.
