ashion-Turn to the left/Fashion-Turn to the right,� David Bowie instructed the models of the day in his 1980 hit.

The models at the Art to Wear fashion show did that and then some at the annual event organized by the College of Textiles and the College of Design. It was held Thursday night at Reynolds Coliseum, and marked the first time that the event was housed at its new venue. Differences between the old venues -– the Design School brick Pit, the Court of the Carolinas — and the new were readily apparent on first glance.

The stadium seating provided more space and a better angle for audience members who didn’t wish to pay for a floor seat. On the floor, folding chairs were able to accommodate many more VIPs than usual, as well as people instrumental in working lighting and sound. The stage itself had also transformed to better fit its new home. Previously a mere T-shape, it had blossomed into an X, where models criss-crossed each other in mid-

Budget strategy outlines job losses, class impacts Staff Report Chancellor James Oblinger, Provost Larry Nielsen and Vice Chancellor for Finance and Business Charles Leffler developed a budget reduction strategy for 2009-10, outlining job losses, classroom impacts, program reductions and increased efficiency. According to a memo released April 16, Oblinger directed all budget managers to enact their parts of a 5 percent overall budget reduction. Based on guidelines established by the University Budget Advisory Committee in 2006, which included the protection of undergraduate academic programs, administrative units received a 13 percent reduction, while academic colleges received a 2.7 percent reduction. The Colleges of Humanities and Social Sciences, Agricultural and Life Sciences and Veterinary Medicine will also make additional budget cuts. Decreases in the Academic Affairs, Agricultural Research Service and Cooperative Extension Service budgets will force the elimination of up to 317 jobs, including 99 faculty jobs,

strut. The center area, where the two lines converged, was used by many designers to highlight a garment or to stage a dramatic pantomime. Prior to the start of the show, certain textiles and design classes highlighted certain students’ work. Students showed off individual garments, and in the case of the advanced classes, capsule collections. Garments submitted for the pre-show were included from the Fashion Product Analysis class to the Textile Senior Project, as well as work from the Prague Institute. Two levels of the Fibers and Surface Design studios represented the College of Design classes. ART TO WEAR continued page 5

94 EPA non-faculty jobs and 124 SPA jobs. In addition, some course offerings are being cut. The University will eliminate a total of 2,865 seats, an estimated 1.1 percent of total offerings. Nielsen and Leff ler worked closely with their senior staffs and University Planning and Analysis to discuss with students and faculty and develop a Web site that allows for budget suggestions.

Police arrested two N.C. State students, Tamyka Steinbeck, a freshman in biochemistry, and Christopher Proctor, also a freshman in biochemistry, and Jacob Lockerman, who is not affiliated with State, yesterday in response to an alarm at 4 a.m. from the Rite Aid in a Chapel Hill shopping center. Steinbeck, Proctor and Lockerman are suspected of breaking in the store. The Chapel Hill Police Department could not comment on the arrests outside of normal business hours. However, according to a WRAL report, police found both Lockerman and Proctor inside the store with bags filled of prescription drugs. Officers also found a handgun. Campus Police Captain Jon Barnwell said since it was in Chapel Hill, they assisted in the execution of search warrants for the on-campus residents. The suspects were charged with felony breaking and entering, damage to real property, conspiracy to commit a felony and possession of burglary tools. They were all held under bond in the Orange County jail Thursday. “As students they will face the consequences of their actions from the University,� Barnwell said.

Campus Enterprises, a new division of the University which oversees the Campus bookstores, University Dining, campus convenience stores and the AllCampus card, began with an announcement March 26 that the new division of departments would begin April 1. The announcement and realignment of campus entities surprised Randy Lait, director of University Dining, but Lait said the day-to-day operations of Dining won’t be affected at all. “It came as news to me,� Lait said. “But University Dining will continue to operate as it has, we’ve just been grouped with other functions of similar purpose.� Lait said Dining’s purpose was to serve students and he had no doubts it would continue to, even as the creation of the division pulled dining from student affairs and placed into the new division which is beneath the Office of Business and Finance. “Dining’s mission was accomplished successfully under Student Affairs and under the office of Business and Finance there may be opportunities for growth,� Lait said. “Dining and the other departments now under Enterprises are not programs but auxiliary services. Lait said the new organizational structure will allow the departments to work more closely together and to support scholarships. “It brings together the parts of the University that sell services to the campus,� Lait said. “It’s putting people with similar missions together.� Lait said he wasn’t a part of the decision-making process and couldn’t speak for the motives of his superiors, but had no issues with the uncertainty of the situation. “[The decision] came from above and I can’t speak for their motivations,� he said. “I don’t know what the future holds for us, but I’m not anxious about it.� Lait said regardless of changes his department may face after the realignment, they will better the University. “The people working in Enterprises have a vision for N.C. State,� Lait said. ‘There will be changes, but it’s not necessarily up to me, and I’ll continue to do what’s right for the University and what’s asked of me.� Interim Associate Vice Chancellor for Campus Enterprises Bob Wood said while the decision was made without informing the department heads, that isn’t always necessary or even appropriate. “That’s not always the best way to proceed in everything you do and every decision you make,� Wood said. “In a business environment, it’s not customary to ask people to move things from A to B.� Wood also said the decision wasn’t made because of the eco-

insidetechnician

nomic crisis facing the state and the University, but that it will help the departments operate at a more fiscally efficient rate. “It’s been considered for quite a while,� Wood said. “But because of the financial crisis it seems to be a good time to put these things into play and a great time to put students in place to save money.� Wood said he wasn’t involved in the decision-making either, and also couldn’t put into perspective how departments now under the Enterprise division operated under their previous divisions. “I can’t speak to the way it was,� Wood said, adding he offered his opinion on the new division at the end of the process. “I was asked ‘here’s what were gonna do’ and I said it sounds like a good idea to me. I kind of came in at the end of the process.� Wood said the purpose of his division was to redirect resources to use them more efficiently and to maximize how money is spent. He will also be available to help departments plan new projects and to consult with departments if they need to make cuts. “We have to pepper the ideas with the reality of how much money we have,� Wood said. “If anybody in Campus Enterprises feels they need to cut back on the staff, we would talk about it. If a department starts to run into a problem we need to look at what the problem is. It’s not consulting, its managing.� Wood said keeping the businesses together in a single division will help them to be fiscally responsible. “The feeling is that Dining is more of an enterprise, it’s a business,� Wood said. “We could probably squeeze more out of it, more for the students if Dining is surrounded by more businesses.� Peter Barnes, a sophomore in natural resources policy and administration, met with Wood to discuss the new division’s implications on student life and was pleased with the ideas Campus Enterprises will allow the departments to pursue. “I’m all the way on board with this,� Barnes said, referring to the plan to consolidate student cards into one, all-inclusive AllCampus card. “At the end of the day it’ll save everyone money, both taxpayers and students.� Wood said this fall students will be able to use their AllCampus card to purchase food and beverages at football games in Carter-Finley Stadium. Still, Wood said there will always be those who disagree with decisions that bring about change. “In the governmental process there are going to be people who have issues with how decisions are made,� Wood said. “When we revisit this topic in two years I bet students will say things are working out a little better.� Barnes said Campus Enterprises will continue to make students its priority. “There may have been some missteps, but at the end of the day they make the decisions for students,� Barnes said.

Wildfire destroys homes, vehicles in South Carolina

Gov. Mark Sanford declared a state of emergency Thursday after a wildfire in South Carolina engulfed thousands of acres and destroyed more than 10 homes. Officials said the fire was mostly contained by late afternoon. According to Mayor Marilyn Hatley, the fire destroyed 70 homes and damaged 29 others in the area. Officials have not identified a cause for the fire, which began Wednesday in Conway. Sanford said no injuries have been reported but the fire has consumed more than 15,000 acres. SOURCE: CNN.COM

9-year-old found stuffed in bag

A 9-year-old girl, Shylea Myza Thomas, was found dead inside a public storage facility Wednesday. Thomas of Flint, Michigan, hadn’t been seen in six weeks but relatives didn’t report her missing until Tuesday, according to Genesee County prosecutor David Leyton. Thomas suffered from quadriplegia due to a suffocation incident when she was three weeks old, Leyton said. Police found her body stuffed inside a garbage bag covered in mothballs, officials said. Thomas’ adoptive mother is in custody as a suspect, according to authorities. She could face charges including murder, first-degree child abuse and welfare fraud. SOURCE: CNN.COM

Invisible Children raises awareness for cause since its rebellion in 1987, will no longer be tolerated, according to Marie Hamm, a freshman in elementary education and coordinator of Invisible Children for N.C. State. She said THE RESCUE will begin with participants meeting in Pullen Park at 3 p.m. They will then walk approximately two miles to the Capitol, where they will camp out. Hamm said there will be activities going on throughout the night. They will show films made by Invisible Children, and Jason Andre will be performing his song “Invisible Children.” “We have confirmation that Brad Miller will be at the event, speaking on behalf of child soldiers, at 6 p.m.,” Hamm said. “Orlando Bloom is filming in the area, so we’re trying to get in touch with his publicist to see

Students will take stand against injustices in Uganda Saturday Sarah Widney Staff Writer

Hundreds of students from colleges across North Carolina will be symbolically abducted Saturday by camping outside the comfort of their own homes to show solidarity with the child soldiers of Northern Uganda. The event, known as THE RESCUE, is an effort to show lawmakers in North Carolina, the United States and across the world that the violence perpetrated by Joseph Kony and the Lord’s Resistance Army in northern Uganda, which includes the forced soldiery and abduction of 20,000 children

State are all participating in THE RESCUE. She also said more than 600 people are expected to attend. President of Invisible Children at UNC-Chapel Hill, Emily Shropshire, said she expected about 20 students from her chapter to attend. “This is the end of our second year on campus, so we’re a fairly new club,” she said. “This semester we’ve done a lot of fundraisers, to donate money to a secondary school in Uganda and raise money for this event.” Catie Serex, the organizer from Elon, said THE RESCUE has been the main focus of Invisible

Hamm said cities across the U.S. and in 10 other countries will be holding rescues as well. “There should be more than 100,000 people participating,” Hamm said. “People should see that this is a big issue.” If the event is successful, it could have broader implications for activists standing up for their causes in the future. “We want to get a generation of people around the world to stand up against injustices,” Hamm said. “Don’t just sit around and wait for someone else to do something.” Serex expressed similar sentiments. “Other countries will find out that people are very committed to bringing justice to the people of Uganda,” she said.

Use Budget Reduction Plan as example THE ISSUE:

The University is planning to cut 5 percent from the 2009-10 budget.

OUR OPINION:

Administrators must continue to make smart cuts if economic conditions worsen.

THE SOLUTION:

Administrators must keep their budget principles and priorities when making future cuts and use the Budget Reduction Plan as an example in the future.

C

hancellor James Oblinger, Provost Larry Nielsen and Vice Chancellor for Finance and Business Charlie Leffler compiled the Budget Reduction Plan for the 2009-10 year, which outlines cuts the University is making in each department and office. The plan states the University will cut 5 percent from its budget. Leffler and Nielsen released the plan April 16, but it is still not posted on Budget Central, which provides information on budget cuts on the University’s Web site. This memo is of the utmost importance because the it states what positions and activities will be cut, and

The unsigned editorial is the opinion of the members of Technician’s editorial board excluding the news department and is the responsibility of the editor-in-chief.

it should be available to everyone. The University said in its budget principles that one of its priorities is to stay transparent. To keep with this principle, the University must have a copy of the plan available on Budget Central. Aside from the availability of information on budget cuts, the plan shows the good decisions the University made for 2009-10. The University’s goal is to avoid making across-the-board budget cuts. It will be eliminating 8,595 credit hours out of 750,000, which may seem like a

lot but only accounts for about 1.1 percent of credit hours. This shows the University did not make a 5 percent across the board cut when it came to keeping seats and upheld its budget principle to keep undergraduate classes a priority. The plan also pointed out increased effectiveness and efficiency in certain departments. The Provost’s office eliminated the position of senior vice provost, and other staff members picked up the duties of the cut position. The University has eliminated 14 unfilled tenure-track fac-

ulty positions. Filled positions should almost always have priority over unfilled positions, even though tenure-track faculty are very valuable. The Budget Reduction Plan stated it considered suggestions from students, staff and faculty when making the cuts and it must continue to do so. This is the only way for people outside of administration to have a voice. The University should continue to be careful when making cuts. It should let this be an example and a learning experience for the future in case economic conditions continue to worsen.

Not goodbye, see you later

I

’m not very good at writing columns. Heck, I may not be good at writing much of anything. Who knows? But I’ve been told these farewell columns need to be special. They are supposed to be thought out and sentimental and all that mushy crap. That’s not me — sorr y to Derek Medlin disappoint. Managing Editor When I started thinking about what I would say and how I would say it for my farewell, I drew a blank. Not an “I’ll figure out at some point” blank. An “I don’t have a clue, for real” blank. I could talk about sports. I got my start with Technician sports and that is really where my interests lie. But why reminisce about four years of, for the most part, disappointment from Athletics. Aside from this pa st footba l l season, t here isn’t a ton to remember fondly, or remember at all. I could do the shout out style column where I thank all my friends at Technician for being some of the best people and best friends I’ve ever met. But why do that? Those people, by this point, should know that my time in college wouldn’t have been the same without them. They should also know I will never forget the fun times we had on the third floor of Witherspoon Student Center, and Sammy’s and even East Village (see Taylor Auten, Josh Harrell and Langdon Morris). The point of these things, at least in my opinion, is to compress all the things you remember from four years into about 500 words and hope somebody cries.

{

What this column did for me though, more than anything, is make me think. It made me think about what is important in my life. And it made me aware that I’m going to miss this place more than I realized at first. When I think about my time at N.C. State, about a million different things come to mind. At this point, the memories all sort of run together into this long YouTube type highlight video of my life as a college student. The video doesn’t make much sense and has terrible editing and quality, but it sure is funny. I started college as a confused 18-year-old who had no idea what he wanted to do in life, no close friends here and no longterm career goals. I kind of had a major — see First Year College. Basically, I was along for the ride, unsure of what I wanted and who I was. Fou r yea rs later, I’m on the verge of getting that all important piece of paper which is supposedly the ticket for employment. We’ll see how that works out. I’m still confused, just in a different way. But I do know who I am and what I want in life. And I thank everyone at Technician for helping me realize it. For you folks who may be reading this and thinking you might want to get involved with Technician this summer or next year, go for it. It’s an experience that can truly change your life. And even if it doesn’t, it will be a heck of a lot of fun. Sorry for the shameless Technician plug. I just couldn’t resist.

What can the University do to prevent faculty and staff cuts? BY DAVID MABE

“[Cut] classes that aren’t required for a major that are electives that only a very limited number of people sign up for.”

Restore Greek Life’s reputation

reek Life. I’m sure that just by beginning this article with those two words I’ve already lost some readers … but then again, that’s exactly why I’m writing this column. Many of you have no clue about what’s goi ng on or has gone on in Greek Life, and I believe that it is time for a change. John Pegg In my senior, political science three years as a brother of my fraternity, I’ve seen Greek Life progressively turn from a conglomeration of helpful organizations to a targeted group of alleged “hoodlums.” A number of things are to blame, but what I’m here to initially address is the publicity and the “bad rap” that Greek Life is getting, because it is getting worse and worse as the semesters go by. Going by the numbers, the large majority of students are not Greek at the University. Accordingly, it makes sense that most would have absolutely no clue as to what goes on the Greek community.

Recently the Student Health Center published an ad regarding alcohol use in the Technician — only, the ad featured a gentlemen drinking from a “plastic cup” wearing a white shirt and striped tie, ridiculously similar to the description given by our anonymous writer. I mean, one student’s opinion is fine … but when a somewhat discreet message is sent via a student service, I draw the line and something has to give. My message here today isn’t to bore you to death with my complaints but rather to steer your attention toward something that has been unnoticed for the past few years. How many actually know how our organizations work or what they do? My guess is a limited few, so let me highlight some of the great things that have been happening on your campus because of our Greek system. Over the last two years, the Sigma Chi Fraternity has raised more than $30,000 to give to the Frankie Lemon School. Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority annually raises thousands of dollars for the Susan G. Komen Foundation by holding a golf tournament. And the Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity brought Ying Yang Twins to

play a concert in downtown Raleigh in support of the Livestrong Foundation, again raising thousands of dollars for charity. Yet, very few know anything about this because (and I know this first hand) it’s nearly impossible to get Greek publicity in the Technician other than the generally misinterpreted daily police blotter. Even this past weekend we had our annual Greek Week and all that was printed in the Technician was a tiny picture, merely stating Greek Week happened but giving no further details about its tradition or meaning. It is high time this University begin to notice all of the great things that our Greeks are doing for the community. Each and every year our organizations are winning national awards and receiving recognition from their national organizations because of their outstanding commitment to achieving excellence. So take some time to find out more about Greek Life here at the University, and I guarantee that we’re not nearly as bad as people think. In fact, we’ve got a whole lot to offer.

Coach O’Brien’s initials to at least pretend like the original theme was being salvaged. Now “Shell shock the Terps” is being changed ostensibly because it once described a medical condition afflicting veterans, even though that term hasn’t actually been used by the military since Vietnam (the Department of Veterans Affairs refers to it as “blast trauma” or “combat stress reaction”). We’re a land grant college, folks. The federal Morrill Act creat-

ing land grant colleges specifically requires them to provide instruction “including military tactics”. The military and its role are both woven into the fabric of this University. If that offends your sensibilities, there’s a University up the road that would surely accommodate your transfer. T. Greg Doucette senior, computer science

Shelley Smith, a sophomore in art and design and textile technology, sits while her friend and professional make-up artist Shawn Towne applies her make up. Smith designed the line “Wanderlust” that was inspired by traveling. This was her second year entering Art to Wear. “I was better about organization this year, especially today — better than last year because I knew what to expect,” Smith said.

ART TO WEAR continued from page 1

Vansana Nolintha, a senior in chemistry and art and design, used red and white in his designs gleaned from tenets of spiritual teachings. Models wore lace over faces and heads to signify religious piety. A red short strapless voluminous empire dress accented with pearls and a white strapless floor-length dress with coils of red and white thread glued to the skirt were notable numbers. “The red threads are the bad things in life, and the white threads represent faith. Faith and doubt coexist,” Nolintha said of the latter dress. Nolintha said it took him two to three months to make the en-

tire piece. Veronica Tibbitts, a sophomore in textile technology, took her inspiration from Americana motifs. Garments ranged from a blue denim dress with wheat stalks radiating from hips and collar to a strapless patchwork dress slashed to ribbons from knees to floor. A white strapless dress with a train that carried bales of cotton featured an unexpected surprise. The model wearing the dress also pulled a hay rake attached to the dress by her brown waist sash, slowing the show to a leisurely crawl that matched her barefoot steps. “I found the hay rake in my backyard and knew that I wanted to use it, so I decided that the best way to work with it would be as a train on a dress,” Tibbitts

said. Tibbitts said her collection took a lot of sketching and working around problems to get used to the material restrictions. Charlotte Guice, a senior in art and design, sent her models strutting sporting black leotard tops and leggings, accentuated by metal structures with pieces of fabric attached at various points. Each structure and fabric was unique to the person wearing it. Her models seemed to enjoy themselves, dancing down the runway. Guice’s show-stoppers were a man and a woman who danced together and got the audience clapping in time. The last two models were Guice’s parents.

“She didn’t tell us at first what we’d be wearing, but we knew it would be metal,” Lee Guice, Charlotte’s father, said. The Guices agreed that they had fun during their time in the spotlight. “It’s fun once you got out there, but pretty nerve-wracking before,” Guice said. Those who assisted in putting on the show were pleased with the way it went. “I helped out with whatever issue came up, and everything went very well,” Candice Farrish, a sophomore in fashion and textile management, said. Farrish also noted that the talent level had risen from the previous year. “I’m always on the lookout for it, and I know it will be exciting,”

Christina Davis, a sophomore in graphic design, waits as Meghan O’Brien, also a sophomore in graphic design, tries to fix part of a dress designed by Alyssa McNamara, a junior in art and design and textile technology. McNamara’s line was called “Rooted” and featured dresses in the shapes of as mushrooms, flowers, dandelions, purple cabbage and corn on the cob. “Getting the dresses to fit people, and for it too look good, is the hardest part,” McNamara said.

Brandon Alley, a 2008 alumnus and College of Textiles Student Services representative, said. Alley designed for Art to Wear a couple of years ago while he was a student majoring in art and design and textile technology. “One of my models from last year modeled this year, and I know some of the designers from previous classes,” Alley said. According to Alley, seeing the show from an audience perspecOffice of

tive was different for him, since he had been backstage as a designer so much in the past. Alley said the show proved the University was as good as any other design school. “FIT doesn’t have anything on us,” Alley said, referring to the highly-acclaimed Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City.

State pulls in the players that have a legitimate chance at winning a National Championship. Go out their play hard and bring home that championship. I know that this is possible. So there you have my expectations for the next 5, 10, 15 years. I want, I need to see four national titles brought to N.C. State. You are probably reading this saying yeah [explicative removed]_ing right, but these are seriously

goals that could be accomplished. Wolfpack Club, keep doing what you are doing, you are amazing with the funds you raise for athletics. Now, Lee Fowler, J.LO, all you other high ups, do what you have to do to make this happen. I have full faith that if we had competent leadership up there somewhere this could have already been achieved. “Hey ma, if you could see me now, arms spread wide on the starboard bow. Gonna fly this boat to the moon somehow, like Kevin Garnett said, anything is possible.” ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, WE CAN DO THIS!

is more than just fun and games. The preparation that went into hosting a tournament at the national level is grueling to say the least. Along with hand-picking 36 officials, soliciting local businesses for sponsorships, helping teams find airfare and hotel accommodations, students and campus recreation professionals must make sure the tournament runs as smoothly as possible. “We all work together, dividing the different tasks up that we have to accomplish so that not one person is getting burdened,” Spivey said. “The biggest change from last year to this year is we really wanted to go with a more

student-led tournament. We really relied on our students. The professionals acted as advisors and the students did an amazing job learning different things about marketing, sponsorships, and things like that hands on and they did a lot of the legwork.” With the final touches being taken care of and teams from all over the nation beginning to arrive, the excitement among players, staff and officials is beginning to elevate. Pool play games begin today at 5:00 PM and every team will play tonight. “It should be a fun weekend,” Adouli said. “It’s going to be a good chance for a lot of people who played competitively in high school and AAU to compete at a high level again.”

Even with the struggles the team has gone through this season, it is always focused on one main aspect, which is staying united as a team, and giving its best effort each and every game no matter what the situation or score is. “We have to keep reminding ourselves that we are a team and everyone has each others back,” Gillheeney said. “Every day we go out there every guy has to have trust in all the guys on the field and know that we are in this together and there is not anyone individually that is hurting from our play its everyone. We have

to keep each other up and play as a team. “ Over the past years the Pack has had a lot of success against Virginia, winning seven of the last ten match ups against the Cavaliers. However, playing at Virginia is always a challenge with its unique ballpark. “We have had a lot of success against Virginia in the past. It should be a great challenge. We just need to play well right now,” Avent said. “Their ball park is very unique, it’s a big ballpark, and very spacious. They have a ton of speed, they run a lot and their pitchers try to put the ball in play and pitch to contact.”

Graham Hunt goes up for a shot while being blocked by Zach Griep and Elliot Lucas during a men’s intramural basketball game on Feb. 5. Carmichael gym will be hosting the ACIS National Basketball Championships this weekend.

For the second consecutive year, Carmichael Gymnasium will play host to the American Collegiate Intramural Sports basketball national championship. Sixty-four intramural teams from all over the country will be in the gym, competing for the chance to be crowned national champion. The winner of each of the four regional tournaments held at Mississippi State, Middle Tennessee State, the University of Dayton and the University of Nebraska received an automatic bid to nationals, and the remainder of the tournament is open to any team around the country willing and able to travel to Raleigh and compete. Tournament director Jason Spivey said this style enables more students to play. “You are not restricted to having to win a tournament to enter which is kind of nice be-

cause it gives more people an opportunity to compete,� Spivey said. “This year we have 64 teams total and they are from all over the country. All around, it’s really a true national experience.� N.C. State has several teams competing in the tournament, including Money Biscuits, Men’s Open champion, St8 buckets and several members of the newly formed club basketball team. State also has a few women’s teams, including The Champs and Mersh Mersh. Sophomore Jason Adouli of the men’s club basketball team commended the level of competition and expressed his excitement for the upcoming tournament. “We’ll be playing a lot of games against a lot of very talented teams from all over the country this weekend,� Adouli said. “I am really looking forward to competing and seeing the skill-level of the intramural teams from other schools.� The tournament, however, INTRAMURAL continued page 7

verybody look at me, because I’m sailing on a boat. Take a good hard look, at the mother [explicative removed] boat.� That’s right, I am sailing outta here and I am going to use my last column to drop some Jonathan B. expectations for the AthLaughrun Deputy Sports Editor letic Department for the next couple of years. Now I’m not going to lie, some of these expectations may be farfetched, some may even be consider ‘impossible’, but I say nothing is impossible. Everything on this list is achievable and should be strived for each and every year. Let’s start with football. Next year Russell Wilson needs to stay off the sideline. That means his offensive teammates need to have his back out there on the field and off the field if he needs it. With R-DUB on the field I see no problem with the team winning the ACC Championship and going to a BCS bowl game, especially with a Nate Irving lead defense. Now that we have established an ACC Championship, the team should be set to repeat in the 2010-11 season and proceed to win a BCS bowl game. And then repeat for years and years to come. Then win a national championship in the next 15 to 20 years. This brings me to another point. There seems to always be this debate about whether N.C. State is a Football or Basketball school. Well I say that we are both. Why not, I love both college football and basketball. Why can’t N.C. State be known for being on the national level for both. For the basketball team, you have a much longer, harder road to travel. First on the docket, N.C. State needs to score some solid recruits, and then put them to good use. Then beat Duke and Carolina a couple of times. I know Lowe beat Carolina like three years ago but [explicative removed] win another one. After we do that, and yes I did say we, I mean [explicative removed,] I have paid beacoup de bucks into this institution and that gives me the right to say we. Not only that I have put my heart and liver on the line for N.C. State athletics for four years. But back to the point, after WE do that we need an ACC Championship and eventually another national championship. We need to make N.C. State a name on the tobacco road again. And of course I am going to make some expectations for gymnastics, I mean that is my beat. I expect to see a repeat as EAGL champions for at least the next two years, I mean we have talent out the wazzo at the freshman and sophomore level. I also expect to see a National Championship Tournament appearance as a team. That means placing in the top two at a Regional Tournament. This is incredibly feasible, we have the talent, we have the skills, just stay healthy and do what you know how to do. Then win a National Championship, I know it won’t be easy but I have faith. For baseball, man-o-man baseball. First of all, wins some games. I feel, no, I know we have the talent on the diamond, put it together and play baseball, not whatever you have been doing the past couple of months. Next BOAT continued page 7
