Although it is rumored the 1911 Building is haunted, there is no proof of the building being haunted. Sagar Sane Staff Writer

Over the years, there are ghost stories that have circulated throughout the campus about the 1911 building and a supposed ghost. The 1911 Building is unique in the regard that it was originally built as a dorm that housed many students and was later converted to a building that has offices of many academic departments, including interdisciplinary studies, social work, and sociology and anthropology.

Michael Coombes, assistant director of the new student orientation said that there have been unconfirmed myths about the building in past. “The myth is that the building is said to be haunted by a student who died as a result of a prank gone wrong. The student, while sleeping, was bound and gagged and tied to the railroad tracks by a secret society that existed on campus,” Coombes said. These societies were student organizations that were banned by the administration at the time, according to Coombes. “The society knew the train schedule and tied the student to the side of the tracks the train would only pass by, so he would not be injured. Legend has it that the student was so frightened that he died of a panic induced heart attack,” Coombes said. According to Coombes, there is

The College of Management’s semi-annual career fair received well-rounded applause from students and recruiters. The career fair was held at the McKimmon Center on Oct. 15. Seventy-four companies had initially registered for the fair, and with 6 new companies being added at the last moment, the fair saw a total of 82 organizations during the day-long event. The one thing that stood out was the smooth handling of the event by the College of Management. Recruiters were unanimous in their praise for the well-organized event, according to Greg Claussen, accounting manager at Caterpillar Inc. “The coordination at this event has been much better here than other campuses we’ve been to. Right from when I got out of my car, there were 4 people to greet me,” Claussen said. “We’ve been to Pennsylvania State and Michigan too, but this has been much better.

{OUR VIEW}

THE FACTS:

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions held the 2010 Open House on Saturday. An anticipated 7,000 prospective students, parents and families attended campus tours, showrooms, the club fair and college information sessions.

OUR OPINION:

Open house was unorganized and had families sprinting everywhere and standing in long lines. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions should be more organized next year and take into account the number of people who are coming, so they can organize the sessions to serve the various interests of visitors.

Organize Open House please T he University’s open house introduced the campus and college life on Saturday to an anticipated 7,000 students, parents and family members. Although the event may have seemed like a success, many were let down by how the event was organized. These students and their families’ first encounter with University should not have been chaotic and unorganized. Visitors were met by an atmosphere of overcrowding when they went to visit the showrooms. A room in Owen and Lee were open for students and their families to view to get a feel for campus life, however many of them were met with extremely long lines just to see one room. At one point, the line to see the room in Owen was past the Tri-towers. This is not an effective way to market living on campus. Mul-

tiple rooms should have been opened to effectively show visitors there are options and space. Visitors were cheated on campus tours as well. Ambassadors were told to limit their tours to 30 minutes, but it is impossible to show the campus in that small amount of time. Many tour guides only went as far as the Court of North Carolina or the Brickyard and then returned to Talley. Although these tours showed the larger parts of campus, it was useless to visitors. There were prospective students from all colleges, so it wouldn’t have been unreasonable to develop tours that covered only the key buildings for each college. Prospective students would

have been able to get a feel for their future homes and walk by other buildings to gain an appreciation for the campus’ architecture. The club and organization fair held in Talley Ballroom is the highlight of the prospective student’s visist. They can see what opportunities are available to them outside of the classroom. The fair was crowded, as was expected, but could have been more organized. If Undergraduate Admissions organized Talley by spacing out popular clubs and organizations, long lines would have been less tangled and prospective students could have navigated more easily. Information sessions explained the details for the

various colleges during open house, however only prospective students and their parents were allowed to attend some of them due to overcrowding. Grandparents and siblings had to wait out on the experience. This is robbing the prospective students of an opportunity to inform other parts of their family and get them involved with the possibilities of coming to N.C. State. N.C. State should embody success and exhumes an atmosphere of organization. Overall, this event could not have made a good impression on families. They were met with long lines and sprinting from place to place. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions should learn from this year and be more organized in during next year’s open house.

Don’t forget about the military

ecently, both elections and the military have been in the news and on the minds of a lot of people. Elections are coming and they are coming fast early voting is being put in motion, and Nov. 2 will be here before we k now it. The military has been in the Chad news recently Rhoades because of the Senior Staff recent injuncColumnist tion placed on the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy. It is clear that we have a long list of problems in the U.S. today. We are in a recession, many people feel like we cannot trust our government to fulfill our needs, there are still people without jobs, and the American people are hurting. That being said, it is very important that we also remember our military. When problems are affect ing us directly, it is very easy for us to only focus on those problems. If you are not in the military or you are not directly involved with someone in the military, it would be easy for you to forget that they are essential to our success as a nation. We have been involved in two wars since 2001. Some people did not support these wars, and are disgruntled with how long it has taken and how much it has cost this nation both monetarily and with the lives of great Americans. However, we are still at war, and we need to make sure the original objectives are still being pursued. Security is a right we should all have. It is the most important right because living in fear is not truly living. Our military protects us from foreign dangers and from some of the most ruthless organizations on Earth, whether it is Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Somali Pirates, or potential threats from places like North Korea. Most people do not realize how much power these people have, and

how dangerous they can potentially be. The strength and size of our military serves as a large deterrent from potential threats to the United States. I truly believe that our world would be much different if our military was not as great as it is. It is important that we remember what they do, and not take anything away from them, even if you do not agree with their policies. Some people feel that the injunction on DADT is progressive and important for the future success of the military, while others believe that it will actually hurt the military. Unfortunately, the publicity surround DADT has put the military in a bad light. I hope that since their currently is an injunction in place on DADT, we as a nation can move forward, and truly find the most appropriate policy for t he men and women serving in the armed forces. Out of all the political ads I have seen, I have not seen any concerning our military and how our potential candidates feel about the United States’ foreign policy. We need to make sure to elect officials and representatives that realize the importance of our military. We need to value them, protect them and make sure their needs are met. We also need to give them the moral support they deserve. When you consider your candidate, make sure you pick the one that suits your needs best, but don’t forget that among all the issues on the ballot, the military is among the most important.

Apology for ECU’s actions at Saturday’s game

Response to “Unit cohesion” column

Dear N.C. State family,

Editor’s note: Word limit waived

I am an East Carolina University alumnus and returning student. I attended the epic game on Saturday, Oct. 16 with many of you. While I was proud of my team for beating such a respectable school, I am appalled at my fellow students. I know that nothing I say can make up for the embarrassment and humiliation some of you had to endure in the stands, but I would like to apologize on behalf of my classmates.There is no excuse for a minimum of three fights breaking out in a four-hour period at a university function. There is no excuse for people throwing trash at visitors. There is no excuse for performing lewd acts on possessions that represented you. Ene drunken idiot tried to give N.C. State syphilis by sticking an N.C. State flag down his pants, rubbing vigorously, and then pulling it out for all to see, smell, etc. I hope most of my East Carolina family will agree with me when I say thank you for visiting our fine campus, thank you for allowing us to be your hosts, and next time we meet again I hope we can act a little more respectable and welcome you with more positive attitudes and actions.

After reading “Unit cohesion depends on keeping DADT,” I have to admit I was a little disconcerted. While I completely understand Mr. Jeffreys’ point of view as a retired military veteran and admire all that he has personally done for the country I love, there are two points that I would like to revisit. First, the statement was made that, “a commanding officer will never place a flamboyantly gay person in charge of leading troops into combat if his mannerisms and way of speech reflect his sexual orientation.” While I cannot begin to argue the validity of that statement, it is necessary to note that every person in the GBLTIQ community is different. Just come to a GLBTCA meeting on State’s campus and see! There are many people who identify as GBLTIQ that are not flamboyant. In fact, there are people in the armed services now that are part of the GBLTIQ community. Because they are unable to announce their sexual orientation, their voice and presence as non-stereotypical gay men and women is silenced. Secondly, and I believe more importantly, DADT does not only affect those on the front lines. The Armed Forces is comprised of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and the Coast Guard ‚ and DADT is applicable to them all. This means that military lawyers, doctors, midshipmen and pilots are all unable to reveal their sexuality. It also keeps those who

are open about their sexuality from filling those roles. As the son of an active duty military officer, I was raised to appreciate the sacrifice made by our Armed Forces. I quickly realized that, because of DADT, I would not be able to follow in my father’s footsteps and, concurrently, be true to myself. To join the military in any capacity would mean suppressing and hiding a large part of who I am. So when I finally did decide to come out, I was also forced to dismiss my dreams of serving my country. The DADT policy restricts the rights of a minority with rationale based on flawed logic and fear. Just because someone is gay does not mean they do not have the ability or the right to live and die for their country. To say the opposite goes against all that our country was founded upon. This attitude of self-suppression and government-supported discrimination should not be condoned or encouraged in our society. Matt Gromlich senior, plant biology

Patel said. Participants managed to keep their minds off of their personal hunger and the heaviness of the issue through activities CSLEPS offered. Friday night the Service Leadership Team organized various activities, including a photo scavenger hunt, entertainment by the Fusion dance team and local stand-up comics. “Although the turnout to these events was lower than we expected, I think that we can evaluate this to make it more interactive next year,” Adkins said. Nevertheless, the hunger did take a small toll on the students participating in the event. Alexis Gomez, a sophomore in animal science, said food was on her mind. “I’m doing this with a friend and we’ve been sitting around a lot think about our stomachs,” Gomez said. “I’ve just been feeling a little sleepy.” The fasters did have a light at the end of the tunnel. Saturday at 4 p.m., participants broke the fast after packing 400 meals for the Shepherd’s Table Soup Kitchen. However, this fast was no festive celebration like Eid at the end of Ramadan. The fasters all shared a soup kitchen meal, eating one peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a fruit cup to mark the end of the 30 Hour Famine. The meal signified that even after a long period without food, this may be the most a starving person may manage to eat. “I knew that I would be hungry,” Emily Robertson, a sophomore in biochemistry, said. “The nice thing is that I know I will have food at the end, but people in hunger don’t have that certainty of food in their future.” After breaking the fast, Giancola and Bob Patterson, a specialist in crop science, discussed the issue of hunger. Patterson recounted personal experiences while studying crops and hunger abroad and both men stressed the importance of a change in policy. “We all grow up knowing what hunger is,” Giancola said. “In an ideal world, I would love to see my kids not understand what hunger is, because this problem should not exist. Unfortunately, they do. The fact that we allow a tremendous amount of people to pass through this is shameful.” Nevertheless, Giancola’s idealism is tied to reality.

“I don’t want to undermine the importance of food drives, but this issue won’t be solved without putting pressure on politicians—domestic and international,” Giancola said. The 30 Hour Famine is not the last opportunity for students to get involved in hunger awareness programs. CSLEPS and Student Government will host activities and programs in the Brickyard November 14-20 to compliment Global Hunger Week. The Service Leadership Team also plans to visit the Fighting World Hunger Conference in February to encourage 120 other universities to host a similar event to that of the 30 Hour Famine. Additionally, students can apply for the Bill Clinton Hunger Leadership Award, which CSLEPS started two years ago. Applicants submit a short Youtube video that exposes and demonstrates the gravity of global hunger. The competition has expanded from the N.C. State campus, and students from across the United States and Canada can enter before the November 16 deadline.

Fairgoers stock Food Bank shelves Students help solve the state’s hunger problem by participating in Food Lion Hunger Relief Day at the State Fair. Nasir Khatri Staff Writer

This Thursday, the North Carolina State Fair will be hosting their 15th annual canned food day, during which fairgoers can bring four cans of Food Lion brand food to the North Carolina State Fair at any time of the day in exchange for one free admission ticket. Hunger Relief Day, which has been sponsored by the North Carolina-based grocery store giant Food Lion for the past seven years, is one of the largest one-day canned food drives in the state. Held each year to benefit the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina, many students flock to the fair on this day to get free admission, as opposed to purchasing a $6 admission ticket.

Annual Open House considered a success The Office of Undergraduate Admissions expected about 7,000 people to attend the annual event intended to help high school juniors and seniors decide if they want to attend N.C. State. Chelsey Francis Deputy News Editor

Yearly, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions holds the Open House the same week as the North Carolina State Fair. The Open House is intended for prospective high school juniors and seniors. At Open House, students can talk with University students in different programs and clubs, as well as admissions officials. As well, University Ambassadors holds campus tours throughout the day for students and University Housing has two model rooms, one in Owen Residence Hall and one in Lee Residence Hall. According to Joyce Mai, admissions assistant director, the event ran smoothly. “Today’s been a great day,” Mai said. “We saw the numbers we were expecting to see. It’s definitely been running smoothly so far.” Ricky Smith, a sophomore in biology and an intern at the Office of Administration, said he was required to attend Open House. “It’s part of our job to represent the student body, in addi-

tion to the University Ambassadors,” Smith said. “We are a little bit of extra help basically. We predicted over 7,000 people coming today, so obviously every set of hands would be really great.” Smith said the day went smoothly and he answered a lot of questions. “I’ve been answering questions most of the day. Mostly today I’ve been getting questions where everything is at and how to get up and down and what building am I in. We got a few questions about the student application,” Ricky Smith said. “Actually, a lot of students here have already applied. There are information sessions about applying for admissions but the first deadline was yesterday.” Some students, such as Andrea Smith, a senior in international studies and Spanish, attended Open House to help usher and direct people to various locations where sessions were being held. “We came out here to usher people in and answer everybody’s questions and help out,” Andrea Smith said. “I love talking to people and the prospective students. They usually have lots of questions. They have a ton of question about the different colleges. They find all of this stuff online but they like to talk to people. It’s been a ton of people nonstop.” Marina Brochado Offner, assistant director with admissions, said they are the people who organize the event.

“We are the one that head everything. We work with all of the other departments to get everything organized,” Offner said. “We had about 6,500 students register to come to Open House.” According to Mai, N.C. State’s Open House draws a large crowd. In regards to other Universities, some might have more than one open house,” Mai said. “They might have three or four.” Prospective N.C. State students and their parents were standing outside the doors, according to Cheryll bowman-Medhin, an administrative support associate with the College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences dean’s office. “I came out to assist at Open House. I’ve been doing this for about three years now and basically give out information about the college and find out what interest prospective students have.” Bowman-Medhin said she thought there were more high school students than normal. “They estimated about 7,000. When I cam this morning there were people standing outside waiting to come in, so we’ve had quite a few. I haven’t been counting, but I can tell it’s been very busy,” Bowman-Medhin said.

Representatives of First Year College, Taylor Clawson, a senior in psychology, Josh Moore, a senior in chemistry, Ann Garrett Hughes, a junior in biological sciences, and Caroline cooke, a junior in textiles, have a great time helping out at N.C. State open house on Sat. Between Talley Student Center, Carmichael gym and the multiple tours going on, there was plenty for prospective students to see during their visit. All four upperclassmen agreed, “It’s great for students to find out about the college they want to go into.”

Rick Jackson, a junior in business administration, speaks about internship and job opportunities with two representatives from the Target corporate office, with a copy of his resume ready in hand. Jackson was grateful for the fact that the fair was located on campus, with access to many local and widespread companies. “It’s so convenient to have all these businesses in one place. You can pass out resumes and talk face-to-face with recruiters,” said Jackson.

advertised about the event beforehand, and students were encouraged to attend the career fair. “The College of Management did quite a bit of advertising, making sure people came at the event and that we had a good turnout,” Prosser said.

Swimming and diving start with a bang Pack opens season with decisive victories over VMI and Campbell. Dan Smith Staff Writer

Saturday marked the beginning of the swimming and diving season for both the men’s and women’s teams. The men’s swimming and diving team began its season with a victory over the Virginia Military Institute, while the women’s team won against Campbell. The women’s team was bolstered by multiple event victories from senior Jennifer Kopenitz, freshman Lauren Poore and sophomore Marifrances Henley on its way to a 168-79 win. In total, the women notched 11 event victories on their way to an overwhelming victory over the ladies from Campbell. Kopenitz’s victories came in the 100-yard butterfly and the 200-yard freestyle. Poore took home the 50 freestyle and 200 backstroke. Henley claimed the top spot in the 100 breaststroke and 100 freestyle. Their teammates Kaitlin Mills, Jordan Paavola, Jessica Ward, and Kelsey Liu joined them in winning top honors. Not to be upstaged by the women’s team, the men’s team notched 12 victories of its own and won in a similarly lopsided match over VMI by the score of 165-81. Sophomore Ivan Kopas was the only

male to notch wins in multiple events, winning the 200-yard backstroke and the 100-yard backstroke. The Wolfpack men spread the victories around against VMI, as eight different men, in addition to Kopas, took home first place finishes. Andrew Tollefson, Brandon Kingston, Dan Forsythe, Barrett Miesfeld, Joe Martin, Gaites Brown, Maxim Litvinov and Kohl Hurdle all managed to win events. While swimming events composed most of the action Saturday, there was one diving competition. Wolfpack sophomore Hudson Rains scored a big victory in the competition, beating two VMI opponents to secure a win for the Wolfpack. State not only benefitted from outstanding individual performances, but also from excellent team play. Both teams were able to win the 200-yard medley relay events, which went a long way in helping the Pack prevail in its season-opener. All in all, the Wolfpack swimming and diving teams gave their season a rather auspicious start. The men’s team returned fifteen letter winners from last season, and the women brought back eighteen. Both teams have high expectations entering the season, and Saturday went a long way towards fulfilling those expectations. The Wolfpack will look to build on its first meet as it takes on Maryland and Davidson Friday and Saturday.

Senior defender Alyson Santilli picked up the assist by sending a cross to Krauser who fired a shot on the right side of the goal. “The ball came across from the right side and I was playing left forward,” Krauser said. “It crossed in and I capitalized and finished it.” Despite being down 1-0 at the start of the game, Springthorpe said he was pleased with how his team responded. “I think a positive thing is when we got down one goal, we found a way to equalize a minute or two later,” Springthorpe said. “It showed a lot of resolve

Freshman Laura Hoer led the team finishing in fourth place, less than a second behind Stanford’s Kathy Kroeger. Hoer stayed with the leaders the entire race even when the frontrunners began to pull away. “Laura was amazing,” said coach Henes. “A true freshman in that situation, to come back up to the leaders at the end, she did a great job.” Junior Andie Cozzarelli also had an impressive performance, finishing in 37th place.

in our team. That’s something we can certainly build on.” Five minutes into the second half, Short scored another goal for FSU on a one on one breakaway against Wolfpack goalkeeper Kim Kern. “In the second half, we didn’t get that goal back right away, so we couldn’t get the equalizer.” Kern said. The nail was hammered into the coffin by the 61st minute of the match when Seminole midfielder forward Janice Cayman notched another goal for FSU after making a play off of a free kick. The fourth goal for FSU only added insult to injury for State, as Cayman scored her second goal of the contest, pushing the score to 4-1. “The second half has unfortunately caught us this year,” Springthorpe said.

“That was huge step up for her,” Henes said. “She was a really big help for us.” Both teams will shift their focus to the ACC Championships in Boston, Mass., on Oct. 30. The teams will turn back the intensity and go into slightly lighter training cycles. “We really had a really big load the last few weeks so we’ll have to pull it back a bit,” Geiger said. “So we can get our legs back under us for conference.” The women’s team will also decrease the training load. “We plan to change up some things in this cycle, the mileage has been pretty high,” Henes said.

“We have played good in the first half, but second half we gave up on goals for whatever reason, and we’ll have to figure that out. “ Though a devastating loss came on an emotional day for the Pack, the seniors were able to reflect on their time here at State and what it meant to them. “It was really emotional, but it was happy and sad at the same time because we played for four years on this team and to see everyone get together in the locker room and have a little ceremony,” Santilli said. “The girls actually put together a scrapbook, and so each person created one page for each of us. It was really good to talk about the past memories. It was sad but it’s good to look back on the memories.”

its five trips yielded the exact same results State came away with against VT. On the year, the Pack has made 38 forays into scoring position and has come away with 19 touchdowns and 10 field goals. For an offense so effective at moving the ball between the 20’s and putting up points the difficulty in the red zone has been overlooked, especially after wins. But with losses in two of three games after a 4-0 start and the Pack’s toughest test of the year, an Oct. 28 battle against Florida State, up next, the coaching staff and offensive players will likely devote a good portion of their bye week to finding ways to finish drives.

ginia Tech, State managed two touchdowns and two field goals on five red zone possessions. The Hokies only got inside the Wolfpack red zone three times that afternoon, but found the end zone on each occasion. The

Pack had little to no trouble at any point in its win over BC, except in the red zone, where

“We had some teams we should have beaten,” Geiger said. “We have to run better overall.” Although there are some things the team would like to improve, Geiger sees the team stepping up to the challenge of the tough ACC competition. “There are some really good teams in this conference,” Geiger said. “We have the pieces, we just aim forward and run better.” The Wolfpack women finished in eighth place in the 6k women’s race with 341 points, one point ahead of ninth place Toledo. Laura Hoer led the team finishing the race in fourth place, less than a second behind Stanford’s Kathy Kroeger.

Florida State handed the Wolfpack a disheartening 4-1 loss Sunday afternoon on Senior Day at Dail Soccer Field. With the loss, State now carries a 7-9 overall record with a

1-6 conference record and an outside chance of making the ACC tournament. The team’s final three matches will come against Duke, Virginia and Virginia Tech. “Certainly you want your seniors to go out with a win,” coach Steve Springthorpe said. “I don’t know that we played poorly. I’m not disappointed in how we played but I’m disappointed that we didn’t come out with the win. “

Throughout the match, the Seminoles were able to create more opportunities on offense, as they were able to attempt six shots on goal in comparison to three from State. The stalemate was finally broken at the 35thminute mark with a goal from FSU midfielder Casey Short. State was quick to respond with a goal from forward Jen-
