IT ’S CRAZY L IKE A PACK OF SEAGULLS GOING
AFTER A HALF-EATEN FRENCH FRY
The Tuition Review Advisory Committee proposed the change in
September as each university is required to do. However, the adjustment is far from final-ized.
Chandler Thompson, student body president, and Provost Warwick Arden co-chaired the committee’s September meetings that voted Sept. 26 unani-mously in favor of a $330 increase for in-state undergraduates and a $660 increase for all other students — out-of-state undergraduates as well as all graduate students.
The UNC Board of Governors does not meet again until January, but if TRAC recommendations pass the Board of Governors and the North Carolina Legislature, they will come into affect during the fall 2012 and spring 2013 semesters.
“I think it’s important to give stu-dents and parents as much notice as possible to plan for paying,” Thomp-son said.
Past recommendations, however, have not been followed closely.
For example, the recommendation for the 2010-2011 year was a $150 in-crease for undergraduate residents. In reality, for those students, tuition was raised by $900, from $5629 to $6529.
“One thing to keep in mind is that we’re nowhere near the end of the tuition discussion; it still has to go through our Board of Governors,”
Thompson said. “I’m hoping to have a student forum about it and more conversations with the chancellor and the provost.”
The proposed increase is inside the 6.5 percent average cap, although the Board of Governors could approve one-time increases higher than that.
However, even with only a $330 in-
Johnny Wynne served as Dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Science seven years.

On Monday, Dean of College of Agriculture and Life Science John-ny Wynne announced his plans to retire after 43 years at State. Prior to serving as dean, Wynne began working at N.C. State as a graduate student after having received his degree from the University.
“I’ve been here for a long time at N.C. State,” Wynne said. “There al-ways comes a time when you need to make a change.”
As of July 1, 2012, Wynne will no longer be a faculty member of NCSU. In the meantime, he will be carrying out his duties as dean, but he will not be involved in implementing new policies for the College of Agriculture and Life Science.
“This is an ap-propriate time [to leave] because with the new leadership from Chancellor Woodson, it is time to prepare new strategic plans for the future. I think that the faculty and new leadership need to be in charge of those new plans, not the faculty that’s leaving,” Wynne said.
During Wynne’s service as dean,
CALS has grown in the areas of both research and diversity. Besides add-ing such university amenities as the Genomic Science Laboratory and the renovations of David Clark Labs and other buildings, Wynne added a dean for diversity, out-reach and engage-ment. In addition, a diversity board and awareness project were added to the college’s program.
When asked about his time at State, Dean Wynne men-tioned how the ac-complishments of CALS has had an impact on a state-wide level.
“We are a land grant college inter-ested in serving the people of North Carolina, and citizens of the state
have responded well to our programs,” Wynne said. “We have made a great contribution to ag-riculture and life sci-ences here at State.”
Larry Shaver, a ju-nior in agriculture education in CALS, said Wynne will be missed as he grew the college into one of the largest at the
University.“I’m sure his replacement will con-
tinue in his legacy to promote our col-lege as one of the best in providing knowledgeable graduates in agricul-ture and life sciences,” Shaver said.

Accounting students need votes to be pushed to top three for national competition.
James HatfieldStaff Writer
N.C. State students are on their way to make the accounting program more prestigious than it has ever been. A team of four from the Poole College of Management is competing against nine other teams of students from across the country in the 2011 AICPA Accounting Competition.
Under the name ‘Wolfpack in the Black’, Alan Perry, Seanna Robey, Amanda Dew and Brian Jones are forces to be reckoned with.
“I always thought our colors were just red and white,” Per-ry chuckled as his teammate, Seanna Robey, reassured him that black is one of the school’s colors, which they incorporated into the team name. “We’re finding an-swers to their fraud problems; that’s how we got the name... black is one of our school colors and to be in the black (in accounting) means making money. So it’s a pun off that.”
The fraud problems Robey referred to are fictitious scenarios given by the AICPA in the first round of the competition. The students in the preliminaries must write a 750-word executive summary of the situation as they would in the job world. This summary is submitted online by any team interested in the competition. All summaries are judged, with the top 10 going to the semi-finals. Out of the 215 original teams, N.C. State
is now in the top 10. This strategic scenario challenges
students to apply their skills as they would in a realistic job setting. In ad-dition, in the second round the top 10 teams were sent new information pertaining to this scenario. They then had to write a 1,500-word summary, accompanied by a 5 to 6 minute video giving information that a high fraud risk analysis consultant would tell the fictitious company.
“We found out all this new informa-tion for the second round that added to the scenario, like a potentially il-legal bribery made to a foreign official that could be going on, so we give a set of recommendations to this company to reduce the risk of fraud,” Perry said.
“For the final round, we might get even more information.”
E a c h m e m b e r of the team had a hand in every part of the competition thus far. With each member giving ad-vice and double-checking the other, it seemed like each member brought a piece to the table.
“Amanda (Dew) helped with writing,
especially with the first round, but she also did all of our video editing,” Perry said. “Brian (Jones) helped with the writing but Brian is also the best com-municator out of all of us. He is really good at public speaking, so that’s why he did the opening and closing of our video presentation. All in all, every-one helped with everything. We’d give feedback to each other, and we had to work as a team.”
The idea of using only local resourc-es and personnel would seem daring in any other team project but this is

Devin Larper, a junior in arts application, stares down a footbag outside D.H. Hill Library, Monday. Larper was playing footbag with some friends, taking advantage of the nice weather. “I have a break between classes and I usually go to the library, but today I wanted to switch it up,” he said. “One of my friends had a [footbag], so
we decided to play.” “Hacky Sack” is actually a trademarked name of the common beaded bag — officially known as a footbag. However, all variations using the footbag consist of bouncing the ball off one’s body. The record for consecutive kicks was set by Ted Martin, consisting of 69,812 kicks, and occurred over a time span of nearly eight hours.

Fair allows students the public to apply for a passport on campus.
Emily CollisCorrespondent
As part of the University’s Interna-tional Month celebrations, the 8th annual Passport Fair will be held Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Caldwell Lounge.
The fair will give students and the community the opportunity to either apply for a passport for the first time
or to renew passports that have al-ready expired.
Chantell LaPan, a graduate student and program coordinator for the Of-fice of International Affairs, said she feels students should take advantage of this resource.
“It is our hope that this annual event makes it easy and convenient so that anyone who has been thinking of get-ting a passport takes the opportunity to do it at this time,” LaPan said.
LaPan emphasized that although the location has changed from previ-
ous years, the process and materials students need to bring remain the same.
Students applying for a passport for the first time will need to bring the following: a completed DS-11 form—found online—as well as proof of U.S. citizenship, an original and photocopy of both sides of an ID, $135 check or money order, and two color passport photos.
For those renewing their passport, students will need to provide a DS-82—also found online—and $110
check or money order.Students who do not have a passport
photo will also be able to take them onsite for $5. According to LaPan, it is this service that makes the process quicker than at the standard govern-ment locations.
“We anticipate this will take much less time than scheduling an appoint-ment with the post office and having to go to a separate location to have your photos taken,” LaPan said.
LaPan also said that attending the fair is especially advisable for students
who plan to study abroad in the fu-ture, as a valid passport is required for study abroad applications.
“[Coordinators] hope those indi-viduals who have been thinking about going abroad, but haven’t yet been able to for one reason or another, will take the opportunity to do so,” LaPan said. “Getting their passport is the first step toward making that a reality.”
International Month brings passport fair to students in Caldwell Lounge today
looked as a fun test of self reli-ance, Perry explained.
“The reason I like this partic-ular competition compared to other kinds of competitions is because the AICPA did not give any criteria on what they were judging us on. We had to figure out what they were looking for,
so we had to do all the research ourselves. No one told us where to go or where to start,” Perry said.
The competition is open for anyone to vote for the team to continue on to the preliminar-ies, thus allowing them the op-portunity to be one of the top three teams. These lucky three are flown to Washington, D.C. to compete for the first place prize of $10,000. Robey went on to mention the tremendous
amount of work they have put in, which has made them crave the first place prize even more.
“We’ve put in at least 100 hours for just the first round, and the professors are very proud of us. We’ve spent a number of hours in the ac-counting department pulling information out of professors. So, winning this would help elevate N.C. State’s accounting degree plan.”
crease, some students will still take hit to their finan-cial outlook.
Asanti Thorne, a junior in international studies, said the proposed hike would be overwhelming.
“I actually find it a little terrify ing because not only am I a full-time stu-dent, but I work part-time and live off-campus. Most of the money I make at work goes to my rent and whatever’s left over goes to food,” Thorne said. “I finally just got financial aid for this semester and I don’t know how I’m go-ing to pay for books next semester since I don’t have any loans.”
Graduate students will have to bear a consider-able amount of the tuition burden, as the additional $660 would make it an 8.5 percent increase from 2010 for in-state graduates.
Kathryn Ely, a graduate student in public history, said she has been lucky enough to get a teaching assistantship for the spring.
“Personally, I don’t feel that the tuition [increases] would make as huge a dif-
ference,” Ely said. “But I am much more cognizant of how much money I have coming in and how much is going out.”
How it will affect the student body as a whole, though, could be substantial, Ely said.
“I can definitely see how a rise in tuition would impact all kinds of students, especially if they’re getting financial aid and it doesn’t go up according-ly. That could be a big issue for some people,” Ely said.
A major reason behind rais-ing the tuition for next year lies within the University’s exten-sive budget cut in response to the UNC System’s 16 percent cut.
According to records of the committee’s meetings, Arden said, “Two years ago, we were cut by $53 million, and this year, we were cut by almost $80 million in our continu-ing budget.”
Furthermore, at the com-mittee’s last meeting, the cost-benefit ratio for increasing tu-ition in respect to the deficit was discussed.
Provost Arden and Vice Chancellor Leffler commented jointly that, “It’s not possible to make up the $80 million deficit with a campus-initiated tuition increase. Given the to-tal amount of money needed to run the university, tuition is a very small percentage. CITI will help us to regain some of
our lost capacity.”Lori Johnson, the director
of Strategic Debt Manage-ment, said the balancing act is a catch-22 that both colleges and students everywhere face.
“How low do we keep ev-erything, and what does that do to the quality of your guys’ education? If we cut back too far, students don’t get the qual-ity of education they deserve,” Johnson said.

Will State make the winning basket?
Matthew Clark, junior in arts applications
All must go
If you have a heart, the story of the Penn State scandal surely broke it. And for
those of you who had the mis-fortune of reading the grand jury findings on the alleged
crimes of Jerry Sandusky, the former defen-sive coordina-tor at Penn-sylvania State University, I sympathize with the pro-found sadness you’re surely f e e l i n g for those young
men right now.For the rest of you—those
lucky enough to have shielded their eyes from those horrible offenses—I sincerely advise you to avoid them.
I would say Sandusky is a disgrace to the human race, but surely his alleged moles-tation of at least eight young boys since the mid-1990s is more heinous than anything we would logically ascribe to humanity. These allegations are not the actions of a ratio-nal person. Physically assault-ing young boys—especially those who had been specifically identified by his own charitable foundation as vulnerable—is sub-human by any acceptable standard.
Sandusky is a rapist of the worst kind. He lured children with gifts, money and the promise of a college athletics program in the most disgrace-ful way imaginable. Fortu-nately, the man who was once famous for helping Penn State earn the moniker Linebacker U will spend the rest of his days in the hands of the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections. He will be castigated. He will never step foot among decent people again.
It would be convenient to think this man was totally in-visible; a modern John Wayne Gacy who was only caught due to the bravery of one of his victims. But it’s not that easy. There is no delete button for this error.
The only solution is to de-stroy the whole system. It won’t eradicate this horror, but it would serve to teach a simple lesson Penn State must learn—the same lesson this University had to relearn not too long ago.
Two years ago, Chancellor James Oblinger, Provost Larry
Nielsen and Chairman of the Board of Trustees McQueen Campbell were involved in a pay-for-play scheme that led to the hir-ing of Mary Easley, the wife of Governor Mike Easley, in a highly-compensated role with the University. With that said, it always seemed to be a tangential cognizance for Oblinger and Nielsen. If they had di-vulged the extent of their knowledge before the in-quiries crashed down, they might still hold their former positions. The cover-up is often the source of the greatest consternation.
In Penn State’s case, the cover-up bears a pretty ob-vious corollary here. The offense was obviously much more egregious, but the point remains: the admin-istrators at Penn State, from the legendary head football coach, Joe Paterno, to the athletics director and all the way up to the president of the University, had the op-portunity to right an obvi-ous wrong when these sins were originally brought into context in 2002. Instead of immediately reporting the actions to law enforcement when they were apprised of the situation, theirs was a concerted and deliberate effort to save face for Penn State at the expense of some of the most vulnerable chil-dren in State College, Penn-sylvania. They allowed a known sexual predator to molest for nine additional years and ruin the lives of several innocent children.
Everyone who had knowl-edge of this situation and failed to stop Sandusky is an accessory—perhaps not in the eyes of the law, but certainly under any sense of morality. There is zero excuse for inaction when children’s safety is at stake.
Joe Paterno has done great things for football in Pennsylvania, but his hands aren’t free of this blood. He must never coach another game. End of story. Some of the other relevant adminis-trators here will surely serve jail time, but all must go.

Mary Tetro’s departure was upsetting and sudden, and left many pre-law students
concerned about the future of pre-law academic services. A decline in mem-bership of the Pre-law Student Associa-tion resulted from Tetro’s departure. However, Kelly Laraway took the reins of pre-law services, and membership in the Pre-law Student Association has recovered to its previous numbers.
Laraway made the transition to ad-vising with ease. She has continued to provide the same type of legal advice and assistance to pre-law students, with emails ranging from how to handle multiple LSATs to internship oppor-tunities.
Because of Laraway’s primary posi-tion as director of the STEP program at N.C. State, she is in the unique position of being able to provide internship op-portunities which relate to law directly to pre-law students.
Much of Laraway’s emails include opportunities to apply to various pro-
grams and internships. Application reviewers on law school boards always press the importance of embarking on a legal experience and Laraway definitely provides opportunities for students to do so. She also provides links to test preparation sessions and seminars with current law students.
The Law School Fair, originally cre-ated by Tetro, was run by Laraway this year with incredible success. The law fair had great attendance, according to Dan Rowe, the president of the Pre-law Student Association.
More than 88 law schools attended the fair with representatives spending four hours answering each and every ques-tion about their school. Free waivers for applying to certain schools were distrib-uted, saving students around $70 per school if applying. Overall, the law fair
was a giant success and garnered a very comparable result to previous years.
Aside from the opportunity to con-verse directly with associates of the schools to which students wished to apply, Laraway arranged various classes which occurred during the law school fair. These classes were geared directly toward other concerns students held about applying to law school, with a course on writing personal statements and a course on LSAT strategy.
N.C. State lost 15.1 percent of state funding this year, which resulted in the loss of 753 administrative and faculty positions, a decrease in services, lesser course sections, and fewer class seats. The current financial situation has left State and other universities fighting to save the most pertinent programs and services and reducing those deemed not
as important.Mary Tetro was an unfortunate casu-
alty of this situation, and it is encour-aging that, despite her leave, another faculty member has taken control of the program and kept it above water. Laraway has not only kept the program running, but has also continued to pro-vide students counsel and opportunities with the same level of dedication as ex-hibited previously by Tetro.
Other programs at N.C. State which suffered cuts and reductions should learn from Laraway’s example. Though their services may not receive the same level of support as previously granted, financially or otherwise, these services can still stay alive and thrive. As long as faculty continues to show dedication and interest, the services will continue to provide counsel and assistance for students.
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.
Pre-law livesThe FacTS:On June 13, N.C. State lost its full-time pre-law adviser, Mary Tetro. Kelly Laraway, director of the short term experimental partnership program (STEP), assumed control of pre-law services after she left.
Our OpiniOn:Though it appeared pre-law services would deteriorate with Tetro’s layoff, Laraway has done an excellent job in maintaining Tetro’s efforts. Pre-law services should continue in this direction, and other programs should follow its example in sustaining layoffs and budget cuts.

Think about it
While Chelsey Francis’ column was thought-provoking and hit on some key points, I was disappointed that she chose rape as a reason to promote women’s rights. Rape is a horrible thing, and I can only hope that someday the statistics will go from 32,101 to zero. But ending a pregnancy caused by rape and calling it a “healthy way of coping”—without thinking about the child inside you—is not the responsible way to deal
with it. Abortions often end in even more emotional and often physical pain, on top of the trauma caused by the rape. There are so many more alternatives to abortion that women often do not know about or explore. Ending the life of an innocent child because of what their father did should give us pause to consider why exactly we’re doing it. Think about it.

Family of the Year
After reading Mr. young’s opinion in Monday’s campus forum, I have two issues with his letter. First, it appears that Mr. young is unaware of the actual contest entry guidelines for Family of the year. Entrants into the contest were to write an essay describing why their family is a great N.C. State family. Only 27 students chose to enter this contest. I was not selected from the student body based on my father’s status as a professor at N.C. State, nor did my father help me in any way with the creation of the essay itself, which brings me to my second issue with his letter. I’m assuming from Mr. young’s complaints about the policy of the contest that he did not even take the time to read my essay. Had he done so before quickly forming his opinion about my family and myself, he would have discovered the real reason my family was chosen for Family of the year. My essay details the hardships my family and I have endured over the past two years and how I have learned from them and grown to be a true member of the Wolfpack. The Family of the year contest is a wonderful way to honor N.C. State families, and I encourage all students to enter next year. Anyone who belittles the achievements of a hardworking N.C. State student does not deserve to call himself or herself a member of the Wolfpack.

Acclaimed cellist Shana Tucker played two concerts for N.C. State students last week.
Hassan DuRantCorrespondent
Some singers prefer to sing while playing piano, while others prefer guitar. Shana Tucker’s instrument of choice, however, is the cello, and her performance this past Friday night gave the musician a chance to show students why.
Tucker and her ensemble gave two on-campus concerts this past Friday at the Kenne-dy-Mcllwee Studio Theatre in Thompson Hall. Tucker’s ensemble consisted of a pia-nist (Mark Wells), a drummer (Nick Baglio), a bass-guitarist (Darion Alexander) and, of course, Tucker herself on cello.
Though she much pre-fers the cello, Tucker actu-al ly started of f play ing the violin as a child. How-ever, Tucker expressed her loathing of the instru-ment.
In seventh grade, as soon as she realized her disdain for playing the violin, she made the switch to the cello. According
to Tucker, playing the cello was a great way to get out of “other” things.
“Oh sorry, I can’t,” Tucker said, recalling her excuses as a child. “I have to practice. Cheerleading? Can’t, I’m au-ditioning.”
Tucker played professionally in orchestral ensemble during the years following college, but she began to realize that the traditional orchestral scene wasn’t quite cutting it.
“I [didn’t] know what I want-ed to do, but I knew I didn’t want to do that,” Tucker said.
Tucker moved on from the orchestra, and was even pre-pared to sell her cello until a curious idea hit her. Between 2008 and 2009, Tucker decided to record some of her songs.
“Well, I have the instrument, I have the songs,” Tucker said. “Let me at least just put the songs somewhere.”
Shana’s web site lists her as a “chamber soul” artist, but to some of her fans, this doesn’t quite describe her style.
“ I t ’ d b e easier to pin a blob of mer-cury than to na i l [Sha-na’s style],”
Christopher Bicker, a freelance writer and long-time fan of Tucker’s music, said.
Tucker performed many of the songs from her album, as well as a few new songs, and covers of some tried and true classics.
A large group turned out to hear Tucker perform, with her songs making many fans begin to dance in their seats.
Tucker doesn’t see herself as a traditional performer. Even ignoring her use of a classi-cal cello, she described her showmanship as unorthodox. Tucker said she learned quickly that it wasn’t just enough to play a few songs for a concert
and leave. “You might be able to play the
song well,” Tucker said, “but there’s no showmanship.”
Tucker felt that much of her showmanship came from her willingness to talk about the content of her songs with the audience between each num-ber. Tucker talked about the history of the songs she was going to perform, and even included humorous anecdotes
from her own life.“It’s okay to talk to the audi-
ence the way I’m talking to you now,” Tucker said. “It’s really okay.”
Sharon Moore, the director of Center Stage at N.C. State, was one of the people responsible for booking Tucker’s concert. When asked why she decided to bring Tucker to N.C. State, Moore said without hesitation, “because she’s pretty much
awesome.”Moore worked with Tucker
when she was the concert co-ordinator at N.C. State.
“She’s always such an amaz-ing spirit,” Moore said.
When asked about how it feels to come back to campus, Tucker had mixed feelings. Though she has a deep love of N.C. State, she still finds it a bid odd when coming back to perform.
“It’s still kind of weird, com-ing back here,” Tucker said, “but in a good way. I mean, students come back, but when does a freaking employee come back as a performer?”
The audience didn’t just enjoy Tucker’s concert, they were captivated, as evidence by their vocal reluctance to see her leave. This is a sentiment they shared with the musician when Tucker said, with a hint of regret, that she’d held the au-dience prisoner long enough. Tucker replied by saying her shoes were getting to be a pain and her feet would probably only last a few more songs.
Next up for the successful artist is none other than the circus. More specifically, the renowned Cirque du Soleil. Tucker will be working on a show called KÁ, which will be performed by Cirque du Soleil in Los Angeles.
Though it offers nothing groundbreaking, MW3 offers enjoyable gameplay that sticks close to home.

After the two main develop-ers at Infinity Ward departed, many did not have high hopes for Modern Warfare 3. Howev-er, for fans of the series, there’s more of the same game to be enjoyed in the third edition.
Upon starting up the latest addition to the Call of Duty series, I launched spec-ops and tried out the highly-anticipated survival mode.
While it’s disappointing that this new addition to the series is only two-player, it is highly satisfying and still enjoyable to play.
The ability to replenish am-munition, buy weapons, kill streaks and explosives makes the different waves of enemies a challenging addition to game-play and provides a fun experi-ence.
Also, ranking up in survival mode can allow the player to unlock certain attachments for weapons and different kill streaks to make the boss waves a little easier to complete.
The online multiplayer is pretty similar to games earlier in the series, though it seems to add a little flare to differentiate
it. Now, not only players rank up, but so do their weapons. It is a new way to have the gun complement the playing style.
Further, the guns have a cer-tain weight to them that Call of Duty: Black Ops did not de-liver. It takes fewer bullets to kill an enemy, which is highly satisfying.
Unfortunately, the maps are a huge problem. Most are extremely generic and offer no tactical planning or scenic brilliance.
Black Ops had maps like Ho-tel, Firing Range and Nuke-town, each offering something different to the experience. The maps were unique, something that is in short supply with the new game.
Every single map in MW3 is plain, boring, gray and lacking interactive elements. Due to a lack of recognizable landmarks on the maps, it is very hard to familiarize yourself with the layouts.
Complementing the multi-player component is the single player mode. The campaign is action-packed at the very be-ginning, filling the player with a desire to kill anyone in sight. The missions come together to
offer a beautifully-constructed, excitement-filled thriller.
Sadly, it is a very short story, with only about five hours of gameplay. Again, this sequel fails to live up to the bar set by its predecessor. The Black Ops campaign was around nine hours and was incredibly captivating. The story was told through flashbacks, in which the player ultimately comes to question the sanity of the nar-rator.
In comparison, MW3 is very flat in its campaign. While old characters are brought into play, there is no connection to them. The storyline had a lot of potential, but the end the campaign, while fun to play, is disappointing.
The graphics are nothing great. The game looks exact-ly like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 did two years ago. I wanted to be blown away by the graphics, but because of
the company issues of Infin-ity Ward, the development team had to use an old engine, which explains why the graph-ics aren’t extraordinary.
Overall, the visual style re-mains strong, but leaves the mark of another missed op-portunity upon the title.
Thankfully, MW3 has four-player local multiplayer, and also missions to complete in spec-ops as well as having sur-vival mode.
Although the online multi-player maps are not the most satisfying, everything else seems up to par with the fran-chise.
In the end, Call of Duty: Mod-ern Warfare 3 is just like its predecessors, a common com-plaint against the franchise. However, if you were a fan of the series in the past, odds are you’ll find plenty to enjoy in this year’s installment.

N.C. State dance program celebrates 25 years
Features& enTerTainmenTarTs
The fall dance program provided an opportunity to show the skills of the various dance classes.
Fritz BarnewoltSenior Staff Writer
Last Thursday and Friday, The N.C. State Dance Program put on its annual Fall Concert, commemorating its 25th anni-versary. Current students and alumni collaborated on the concert, bringing their own styles and ideas to the table.
The student groups that per-formed included the NCSU Dance Company, the Pan-oramic Dance Project, the NCSU Dance Program and a modern dance company ar-tistically directed by Program Director Robin Harris.
Alumni Mair Culbreth and Gerren Mobley presented their own projects performed by current students. Culbreth’s Anatomy of an Argument was presented by the NCSU Dance Company, while the Panoramic Dance Project performed ex-cerpts of Mobley’s Testimonial.
The NCSU Dance Company put on a show of dances which included: The Use of Classi-cal and Operant Conditioning in Training Aldabra Tortoises by Kelly Bryant, Pathological Alterations in Food Intake by Jacquelyn Watson, Raising a Well-Respected Canine Citizen by Mary Jackson, How to Make a Tutu by Cassia Lewis, Survival Techniques by Kaitlin Smith, Videof luoroscopic Swallow Study by Megan Imhoff, Span-dex Specifications by Monica Matthai and Agee Taylor and Abstract Algebra: Introduction to Groups by Sarah Griner.
Each performance was based on the choreographer’s major and was a way for the program to show off what it provides to students at N.C. State.
The Dance Company also
presented Julep by dance pro-gram assistant director Au-tumn Mist Belk. It was based on the Kentucky Derby and drinking mint juleps.
The Dance Program per-formed work by Ashley Walls, Miranda Cazin, Sarah Griner, and Cassia Lewis. Walls is the first recipient of the N.C. State Creative Artist Award, and she produced two of the dances put on by the Dance Program.
Her As One Should Always was a duet presented by Kelly Bryant, recipient of the 2010-2011 Performing Arts Award, and Hayley Dirscherl. The duet w a s b a s e d around the downward spiral of a re-lationship.
Walls also had a new project that she present-ed, Meaning Crunch Me . She attempted to challenge the current performing conventions with this piece.
Cazin addressed abuse with her piece I am Generations of Sister, Daughter and Mothers, while Griner’s …to remain si-lent was a duet that featured an interrogation that uncovered information from ways other than speech.
The Dance Program’s last performance was TechnoLOG-IC by Cassia Lewis. It was set to the music of electronic duo Daft Punk and poked fun at our society’s current love of technology.
The Panoramic Dance Proj-ect put on an intriguing display of choreographic skill, with the entire performance essentially based on chance.
There were three different parts to their presentation – Union Square, Rivulets, and Psycho Tree Hugger Needs a
Nap. The routine for each was based on movements created by the dancers based on locations important to them.
After establishing the move-ments, they were put together randomly by each dancer roll-ing a die or picking a playing card. However, this did not make the performance seem sloppy. Instead, this random method provided a chance for the dancers to show off their skill in different situations.
Ashley Sartain, a sophomore in social work, performed as part of the Panoramic Dance Project’s presentation of Rivu-
lets. Sartain h a s b e e n working with h e r p e e r s since August on their per-formance.
“It was not a typical cho-reography method,” Sartain said of her perfor-mance, “and
therefore, it was much more difficult to learn.”
She said she thought the Dance Company’s presenta-tion was well done and more enjoyable for the performers because it was “more personal than typical choreography.”
According to the show’s directors, the audience as a whole was very responsive and enjoyed the concert.
Victoria Ohegyi, a sopho-more in history and commu-nications attended the concert and found the show to be an interesting one.
“I really enjoyed Julep,” Ohe-gyi said. “I found it to be the most entertaining and artis-tically expressive. I loved the costumes and use of props to convey the spirit of the Ken-tucky Derby.”

short in its bid for bowl eligi-bility, this time losing a heart-breaker to Clemson. Despite the recent losing streak, the Demon Deacons are a far cry from the team that went 3-9 last season. (11/19 vs. Mary-land)
7. Miami (5-5, 3-4 ACC; LW 6) – The Hurricanes put up a fight against Florida State but were unable to claim bragging rights to the in-state rivalry. A bowl birth this postseason would be welcome news to Mi-ami, who faces the likelihood of a postseason ban as a conse-quence for its recruiting scan-dal. (11/19 @ South Florida)
8. North Carolina (6-4, 2-4 ACC; LW 9) – The Tar Heels
had a bye week to rest and re-cover from last weekend’s de-bacle in Raleigh. The off week came at just the right time for Bryn Renner, who expects to be under center this week af-ter being knocked out against N.C. State. (11/17 @ #8 Virginia Tech)
9. Boston College (3-7, 2-5 ACC; LW 11) – With postsea-son play no longer a possibility, the Eagles have turned to play-ing spoiler for the rest of the ACC. A win over N.C. State re-stored some pride in Chestnut Hill and makes the Wolfpack’s quest for a bowl birth an uphill battle. (11/19 @ Notre Dame)
10. Duke (3-7, 1-5 ACC; LW 10) – The Blue Devils continue to struggle to put together four quarters of football. After be-ing tied with Virginia at half-time, Duke was outscored 17-7
in the second half, en route to its fifth straight loss. (11/19 vs. Georgia Tech)
11. N.C. State (5-5, 2-4 ACC; LW 7) – The outlook couldn’t have been brighter for the Wolfpack a week ago, and now, it couldn’t be bleaker. State blew a chance to come within one win of the post-season, but the loss to Boston College means that they will have to win out to be playing come December. (11/19 vs. #7 Clemson)
12. Maryland (2-8, 1-5 ACC; LW 12) – Another week, an-other loss for Maryland. To add insult to injury, or injury to insult, quarterback Danny O’Brien is now out for the rest of the season after breaking his arm against Notre Dame. (11/19 @ Wake Forest)

had this season,” Cruickshanks said. “Charleston showed up ready to play, and we had to try and match that intensity coming off a weekend with-out a game. We weren’t at 100 percent, but we never gave up, and in the end, we got the job done.”
Cruickshanks, also named one of the MVPs for the game, said she felt knowing her team-mates have her back is one of the most important factors helping her reach peak perfor-mance.
“I really just tried to play as hard I could for my team-
mates,” Cruickshanks said. “When you start to feel tired or hurt, it’s your teammates that are always there to help you back up. That kind of uncon-ditional support is what moti-vates you to play your hardest.”
Senior in nutrition science and president of the club, Mau-reen Kelly, said she admits it is surprising to still have an un-defeated season and felt it was largely due to the result of some great team chemistry.
“Our undefeated record was one of the team goals I set forth for this season, but it was only something that I could have hoped for,” Kelly said. “I do think that this record has come about because of the close-knit bond that our team has formed
this season.”Kelly also said that the team
previously ranked No. 9 in the nation ahead of teams such as UC-San Diego, UCLA and Ohio State was an amazing thing to be a part of and a great motivating factor for the cru-cial tournaments coming up.
“It is an absolutely amazing feeling being part of a nation-ally ranked team,” Kelly said. “We’ve worked so hard for this, and it is truly a dream come true.
“However, this has now set the bar for our upcoming spring season where Nationals is our goal. We’ve got a lot of work to do, but we have set our minds to it, and we, as a team, think it’s an attainable goal.”

Night promotion. As col-lege students, it’s under-standable that saving mon-ey is a priority. With lower level tickets, face valued as high as $110 for a regular season game, students can take advantage and buy their tickets for $30.
“I decided to buy the 100-level tickets over the 300-level tickets because it’s nice to splurge every once in a while after working seven days a week,” Luke Yarash-eski, of Wake Tech, said.
Not only N.C. State stu-
dents have access to this advan-tage, schools such as Wake Tech and the University of North Carolina can use this opportu-nity to buy tickets with a valid “.edu” address.
“Depending on my financial situations, if it’s practical, or whether it’s not it’s a respon-sible use of money, determines if I go to the games,” Ryan Knauss said.
Even though the ‘Canes were not able to execute a win, Col-lege Night voucher holders held advantages in the con-cession stands with $2 sodas and half-price parking, and to experience the difference in environment between State basketball and Carolina Hurri-cane hockey in the RBC Center.
“It was nice to score but it would have been nice to get a ‘W’, too,” Dwyer said. “We battled back and got back in it and that’s what we have to do, look at the positives. We’re a hard working team, we need to out-work other teams and take the puck to the net.”
The next College Night series game will be Dec. 1 against the New York Rangers on a Thursday. The promotion will be available online to buy tickets half-off, up until 5:30 p.m. game-day atCarolinaHur-ricanes.com. “Like” the Canes’ College Night Facebook page to see more information.

did You know?N.C. State has lost seven consecutive games to Clemson with the Pack’s last victory over the Tigers coming on Oct. 16, 2003. Since 1989, NCSU has put up just a 6-16 record in the “Textile Bowl” and State has not defeated the Tigers in November since 1972.

Game number two of Canes’ Col lege Night brought energy as right wing Patrick Dwyer scored his first two goals for the Carolina Hurricanes, both of them coming shorthand-ed. ‘Let’s go Canes’ echoed throughout RBC Center with 13 minutes left of the game against the Philadel-phia Flyers, but they even-tually took down Carolina, 5-3.
With four minutes left, Flyers forward Matt Read fired a one-timer past goalie Cam Ward, which iced the contest.
The Hurricanes are find-ing their identity again and according to head coach Paul Maurice, actions speak louder than statistics.
“This is game 18 for us,” Maurice said. “Thirteen of those games have been against playoff teams last year. We played the top six teams in the NHL as of
tonight eight times and we’ve played five teams below us that didn’t make the playoffs, this season. I think we’re a better hockey team than our record says.”

Clemson’s dramatic comeback keeps the Tigers atop this week’s rankings.
After a slow week, the action picked up, and the conference layout became clearer. The Coastal Divi-sion is down to a two team race, with Georgia Tech and Miami being eliminated from contention over the weekend. The Atlantic Di-vision is now clinched, as Clemson defeated Wake Forest late in Death Valley. While the divisional races became clearer, no new teams reached bowl eligi-bility, as Wake Forest and Miami both lost over the weekend.
1. #7 Clemson (9-1, 6-1 ACC ; Last Week 1) – It went down to the wire, but Clemson clinched its At-lantic Division title against Wake Forest with a field goal as time expired. While the Tigers were unimpres-sive in the win, they have shown that they can never be counted out of games, af-ter overcoming their third double digit deficit of the season. (11/19 @ N.C. State)
2. #8 Virginia Tech (9-1, 5-1 ACC; LW 2) – The Hok-ies could have folded under the lights at Georgia Tech, but they answered the call in a convincing fashion. The remaining schedule isn’t a cakewalk, but all signs point to Virginia Tech making it to the ACC for a rematch
with Clemson that will decide who will represent the confer-ence in the Orange Bowl. (11/17 vs. North Carolina)
3. #25 Florida State (7-3, 5-2 ACC; LW 4) – This season, Florida State fans will look back and wonder what could have been. After dropping to 2-3 on October 8, the Seminoles have rattled off five straight wins, including this weekend’s vic-tory over in-state rival Miami. (11/19 vs. Virginia)
4. Virginia (7-3, 4-2 ACC; LW 5) – The Cavaliers had their doubters, but they’re now winning games that they’re supposed to win. Virginia bounced back quickly after its loss to N.C. State, putting itself in position to steal the Coastal crown from Virginia Tech. If the Hoos can finish the season with wins over Florida State and Virginia Tech, a Dec. 3 date with Clemson will be on tap. (11/19 @ #25 Florida State)
5. Georgia Tech (7-3, 4-3 ACC; LW 3) – Since starting the season 6-0, the Yellow Jack-ets have been in a tailspin, los-ing three out of their next four games. Surprisingly, their only win came against ACC leader Clemson. While Georgia Tech is still a pleasant surprise, fans have to be disappointed with how Tech has played down the stretch.
6. Wake Forest (5-5, 4-3 ACC; LW 8) – For the third straight week, Wake Forest fell
Football game times set for Clemson, Maryland State will finish its 2011 season with a pair of home games against the No. 7 Clemson Tigers (9-1, 6-1 ACC) and the Maryland Terrapins (2-8, 1-5 ACC), and the times for those games have been scheduled. This Saturday’s game against Clemson will be at 3:30 p.m. and can be seen regionally on ABC. The following week’s game against Maryland will be a 12:30 p.m. kickoff and can be seen on the ACC Network. The Pack must win both afternoon home contests in order to qualify for a postseason bowl game.

Salata tabbed as ACC Volleyball Player of the WeekSenior middle blocker Margaret Salata was named the ACC’s Volleyball Player of the Week after State picked up a pair of conference victories over the weekend. In the Pack’s first victory over Clemson since 1997, Salata matched a career-high with 19 kills and set a new career mark with 24 total points. The Buffalo Grove, Ill. Native also hit .579 against Georgia Tech while notching 12 kills and seven blocks. Salata has 145 blocks on the season, which is tied for fourth most in school history, in helping NCSU total its most victories since 1996 and the most ACC wins in program history. Fellow teammate and Illinois native Dariyan Hopper also received honors being named the ACC Freshman of the Week. Hopper is a freshman outside hitter who recorded 14 kills and three blocks against Clemson.

Women’s rugby proving unstoppableSquad advances to 7-0 on the season.
Rishav DeyStaff Writer
The Women’s Rugby Football Club proved in-destructible yet again as it handed the College of Charleston a resounding 59-10 defeat in a home fix-ture.
The club, which was com-ing off a streak of four con-secutive games where they scored more than 50 points, showed no mercy toward its opponents from South Carolina and remains un-defeated for the season.
Senior in communica-tions and safety officer of the club, Katy Walls, said she felt that despite some initia l blips, the team emerged strong and was in
a position where it was slowly becoming unbeatable.
“We had a few rough mo-ments, but overall, we are still learning and building every game,” Walls said. “Each game shows some improvement from before. We are kind of snow-balling right now--getting bigger a nd bigger.
Walls said she admits there was a change in the way the team was function-ing of late in comparison to the past years that have led to such a turn in tide for the team’s for-tunes.
“This year, not only do we have the talent, but we also have a direction,” Walls said. “All these years we have had
players with talent, but we hadn’t been playing together, and the team had been playing for individual benefits. Now that we are playing together and have got some direction behind it, it’s all working out.”
Senior in engineer-i n g S a r a h Cruick-shanks, bet-ter known to the team as “Snaps”, said she felt the ga me over the weekend was one of
the most challenging ones they have played all season, but in the end the team got what it was looking for - a dominating win.
“It was definitely one of the more physical matches we’ve
