Raleigh, North Carolina

Occupy Raleigh came to the capital Saturday to state their grievances.

Will BrooksStaff Writer

Members of Occupy Raleigh began protesting at the state capital Saturday morning, bringing a large mix of citi-zens with one common idea: express-ing discontent.

Citizens of Raleigh converged, tak-ing turns expressing their problems with the government. Much like the Occupy Wall Street protests of New York, they addressed the issues of cor-porate citizenship and unfair treat-ment of minorities and less-wealthy citizens. N.C. State students held a large presence on the microphone.

Jill Valentine spoke to a crowd of hundreds Saturday, explaining that after graduating high school she cared for her sick father instead of going to college. After her father passed away, Valentine came to N.C. State at age 30. She is about to earn a degree in anthropology.

“I thought that poor people like me don’t belong in college,” Valentine said.

Valentine said she would like to see a college degree become realistic for people of all financial backgrounds.

“Our government has been bought, laws protect the few and abandon the majority, they are nothing without us,” Jose Chavira, a graduate student in liberal studies, said to the crowd.

“We should blame the government for not taking into account the people it serves, we should blame the corpo-rations for backing legislation that only empowers their criminal activity, but most importantly of all we should blame ourselves,” Chavira said.

Chavira explained that it is the fault of our citizens for sitting back and al-lowing corporations to take over, but believes that through the Occupy movement, Americans can redeem

themselves.“Our voices are our weapons,” Cha-

vira said and then proceeded to begin a chant, “no more,” Chavira said, then came, “no more, “ from the entire crowd over and again.

Protesters have devised a system to make announce-ments w it hout amplif ied sound called “mic check.” A mic check is an announcement that one person says and everyone around them repeats, it allows for the person to be heard by the whole crowd.

Among students, former finan-cial advisors, homeless people and politicians spoke at the protests. Last year’s Democratic nominee for Sen-

ate, Elaine Marshall made a short speech.

“Thank you all for being here,” Mar-shall said. “My only question is what took you so long?” Marshall expressed her support for oc-cupiers, but some shouted against her partisanship.

Many major news sources have sug-

gested the Occupy movement becom-ing the left’s answer to the Tea Party. At least two Democratic politicians

spoke at the event, responding to only minimal outcry from protest-ers.

“You’re here expressing a feeling that things are not right within the economy,” Democratic Rep-resentative Bill Faison said, “and I

Jordan Moore/TechnicianPlaying with their dog Avery, Ben Stanley, a senior in sport management, and Rachael Andrews, a senior in human biology, enjoy their Saturday afternoon at Lake Raleigh, Oct. 15. Stanley was trying to get the 4 month old pup to swim in the lake, but was having no luck. "She liked being over on the hill, but I don't think she likes being in the water," he said. Stanley was excited about Avery swimming though, because she has webbed feet, and his other dog loves swimming.

Jobs Act yet to be pushed through Congress.

Lauren VanderveenCorrespondent

Since his visit to N.C. State back in September, President Barack Obama has been speaking at schools and fa-cilities throughout the country about the American Jobs Act, rallying sup-port and encouraging citizens to write to their Congress representatives

Lisa Chowthi, a senior in economics, and George Beinhart, a sophomore in economics, shared their opinions on the Jobs Act and the current economy.

“I honestly think it will be [effec-tive] and what Americans need to re-alize is that everyone’s worried about increased taxes. Well, the government works in such a way that we’re going to have to pay for it,” Chowthi said. “By cutting taxes, it will increase potential spending and potential spending ulti-mately increases the revenues.”

On the other hand, Beinhart had differing views on what should actu-ally be done to stimulate the economy.

“I think the bill — if it’s passed, which I don’t think it will pass — will push down the unemployment rate. But we should focus on a looser mone-tary policy. Our government can bor-row money for free,” Beinhart said. “If the government borrows $100 and promises to pay it back in five years, then they’ll owe maybe $101.”

Denzel Cummings, dual degree po-litical science and Wharton business undergrad at the University of Penn-sylvania, sees the social and political ramifications of our current economy.

Student Government appropriations process completed less than smoothlyCommittee on appropriations dishes out over $72,000 to student groups.

Joshua ChappellSenior Staff Writer

This year’s appropriations process was recently completed — however, some student groups were left less than satisfied.

Each semester, the Student Senate is

responsible for distributing funding to campus organizations. This fund-ing is obtained solely from student fees. Each student pays about $10.85, according to Buddy Bryson, student body treasurer.

“Students can see most of these fees being used in the appropriations pro-cess, where about 45 percent of our annual budget goes back to student groups,” Bryson said.

According to Bryson, student groups have approximately two weeks to com-

plete applications for funding as long as they are approved by the Student Organization Resource Center and have turned in W-9 forms and receipts from previous years if they have been previously funded.

“The appropriations committee then sits with each group, asking ques-tions to clarify their applications if needed,” Bryson said. “Then the com-mittee sits down in what we call mark-ups, which is where we look at every application and divide out funding.”

According to Toni Campbell, chair-woman of the appropriations com-mittee, there are a number of factors that the committee takes into account when distributing funds.

“These considerations include, among other factors, the type of re-quest, number of students impacted, the amount requested and overall rel-evance to the student body,” Campbell said.

Campbell said student groups col-lectively requested $144,000 in funds

this semester, and the committee had $72,005.11 to give out.

“Unfortunately, all groups can’t be fully funded since the amount re-quested far exceeds the amount we had to distribute,” Campbell said.

Last fall, $85,138.24 was made avail-able to student organizations, accord-ing to Campbell.

This year’s process was met with some difficulty, according to Camp-

bell.“Initially, there was some

confusion over the new Univer-sity requirement that all groups turn in a W-9 form,” Campbell said. “While admittedly the W-9 forms can be complicated, they are required for the IRS by law and are outside of our control.”

Campbell said that because of this, deadlines were extended to allow stu-dents to get help if needed.

Roman Tor-res, president of the Univer-sity chapter of the American Soc ie t y for Mechanical Engineers, said that while his organiza-t ion applies for funding every semes-ter, the public-ity around this year’s process was lackluster.

“We had to contact [Stu-dent Government] to get the deadlines as the website was not updated at the start of the semester,” Torres said.

Torres also said that while his club received about 55 percent of the funding they requested, he thinks the overall process is “rushed.”

“The interview was very brief, less than four minutes,” Torres said. “I know there are many organizations that re-quest funds and it must be time consuming to meet with all of them, but I don’t think many people can adequately explain why they need funding in four minutes.”

Accurate decisions on how to spend students’ money cannot be made in this short amount of time, Torres said.

“I would like to think [Stu-dent Government] puts a lot of thought into how they dis-perse the funding,” Torres said. “I don’t think they can make accurate decisions on how to allocate funding by giving an organization four minutes to talk about a simple budget sub-mitted online.”

Among this issue of time

spent with each organization, publicity and record-keeping were also some issues this year, according to Alyse Flick, co-president of the Pre-Health Club.

“The biggest problems with the process were in communi-cation,” Flick said. “Numerous emails were re-sent out over the course of the process due to missing attachments or in-correct dates, times, or room numbers.”

Flick said the information about appropriations was ex-

tremely dif-ficult to find this year.

“Appropri-ations were not as well-publicized as they have been in the past,” Flick said. “If you were looking for the tradi-tional ways – on-campus publicity, the website – you couldn’t find it. We used all of these

listed resources to attempt to find the application.”

The Pre-Health Club came very close to not receiving funding over receipts that had been “lost,” according to Flick.

“We were told at our appro-priations appointment that our budget was up to date, our W-9 form was turned in and correct, and that our receipts were also turned in,” Flick said. “Surprisingly, on the day of the reveal, the committee emailed us saying that we had been de-nied funding and that we had been blacklisted for missing receipts.”

Flick said that the problem was eventually resolved, but not easily.

“The most frustrating part of this problem was that it took numerous emails from us and our representative for any clari-fications to be made on the is-sue. It took two days before we were contacted by the treasurer with an explanation.

“In the end, the committee was reasonable in listening to and understanding our con-cerns about the whole process during appeals,” Flick said.

There were various respons-

es from Student Government leaders about complaints with the process this year.

“In the past there has been more publicity around appro-priations,” Bryson said. “That being said, it should never be a surprise when appropriations start or end. Our statutes clear-ly lay out the deadlines that each part of the process must be completed, which means from year to year, the dates re-main fairly consistent.”

Campbell claimed the same publicity procedures were used this year as in years past, de-spite the complaints of various student leaders.

“While we’re sympathetic to groups that were not aware of the process, nearly all of the publicity steps that are always used were used this year,” Campbell said. “The appropriations website and packet is a constant source of information linked from the SG homepage and this was in conjunction with the use of social media and an email to campus groups.”

Campbell said that Student Government takes its job in appropriations very seriously.

“Funds are based off student fees,” Campbell said. “There-fore, the committee devotes a great deal of time and thought to each decision.”

Bryson said that for next se-mester, student groups need to do a better job of planning ahead.

“We see every year, student groups in our offices on the last day with receipts and ques-tions,” Bryson said. “We try to help each student group that we can, but when such a large number of students wait until the last moment, we see a lot of mistakes happening that can prevent student groups from receiving money.”

across the country show that individuals are not only disappointed but an-gry at the state of our na-tion. Instead of bailing out Wall Street, it is providing tax cuts and support for small business owners,” Cummings said.

One school Obama visited after speaking at the Uni-versity was Eastfield College in Mesquite, Texas.

Elizabeth Webb, an East-field digital imaging tech-nology major, described the vibes on cam-pus that day.

“You could feel the en-ergy in the room. How of ten does the president come to your school? Not often,” Webb said. “I was surprised how he was able to get the crowd on his side. Very passionate, very pro-fessional.”

Kimberly Diggs, journal-ism major at Eastfield, also

witnessed some of the ramifi-cations of Obama’s upcoming speech.

“There were people angry about him being here. It wasn’t the bill, just about Obama and his administration. There was a protest. They were saying we need a president less about gov-ernment and more about the people,” Diggs said.

The bill has yet to make it through Congress.

“The Republicans do not support the bill because, hon-estly, they’re trying to stone-wall the president in regards to completing anything substan-

tial. They’d disregard a bill even if its crux was to support homeless puppies,” Cummings said.

A t o n e p o i n t i n Obama’s speech, Diggs men-t ion s , i n response to if there was a political

agenda at play, he said, “Give me a win? Give me a break!”

Similarly, Obama utilized the same phrase when speaking at

N.C. State.“I think he definitely knows

how to work a crowd. He did do a lot of representing, be-ing part of the Wolfpack. He made me feel that we’re more of a part of the political system then we think of ourselves to be,” Chowthi said.

Beinhart added, “He’s very, very good. I don’t agree with everything he says, but I enjoy hearing him speak.”

On Tuesday, Oct. 11, the American Jobs Act fell short of the votes it needed to pass at the Senate. Obama is not giving up, however, and is planning to get the most important parts of the bill passed in the near future.

Faison proceeded to call the person in charge of the capitol grounds to ask for an extension on the protest’s time limit. That request was not met.

A permit that granted Occupy Raleigh to protest from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. was obeyed by hundreds of protesters but others had planned to stay longer. Ac-cording to the News & Ob-server, 19 protesters were ar-rested at 7:30 p.m. on Satur-day; it is unknown whether any of those arrested were students.

Despite arrests, occupiers

are already beginning to plan their next course of action on Facebook and elsewhere.

“This is the beginning, until we are all free,” Valentine said.

While there are plans in place to begin so-liciting private dona-

tions for the much-anticipated Talley Student Center renova-tion project, it is beginning to look like the $120 million tab will be picked up mainly by student fee dollars instead of a balance between fees and pri-vate donations.

In the original plan for fi-nancial support, the project was supposed to be funded by student fees, but also private donations; however, none have shown up as of yet. While the University Student Centers Board of Directors plans to focus on pitching the project to corporations and alumni to produce these funds, what is the incentive for these donors?

Alumni relations have always been strained at N.C. State. We have the Alumni Association

to build relationships between alumni and the school; howev-er, in comparison to our broth-ers in blue, our alumni support falls to the wayside.

Aside from the alumni reach-out, these projects also attempt to garner financial support from sponsoring corporations. However, such corporate spon-sorships are not only difficult to acquire, but even harder to maintain. This is also because of the lack of benefit for the in-dividual corporations.

Because of this, the budget for Talley and other campus proj-ects should not rely on these types of donations. The Talley project’s secondary funding is the support of benefactors, but with the lack of those dona-

tions, the burden falls on the current students.

As Jonathon Smith, President of University Student Centers Board of Directors, said, the project could not be funded without student fees. This is even truer now, without the anticipated donations. This is exactly why these donations should not be expected of alumni. These types of funds should be used to finance proj-ects around campus that the University, or the state, cannot afford to invest in.

But with the cost of tuition and living increasing, the last thing we as students can af-ford is a rise in fees. The in-crease of student fees for the Talley project was supposed to

be carried out over 10 years, now the projection is 22 years to completely fund the project. This type of spending is exactly what got our state into the debt mess we’re in now, and we as a University should not be aim-ing to do the same thing with our construction project.

This can be avoided by tak-ing the alumni and corporate donations out of the equation, and to not even consider these funds that we do not have a part of a building project’s budget.

If we receive them, then it can subsidize the cost of the project, rather than the current method of raising the other methods of gathering the fi-nancial means.

These budgets should use the money they have, not plan for more than they receive.

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.

Don’t rely on private donationsThe FacTs:The secondary funding source for the Talley renovation project is private donations; however, those have yet to be received.

Our OpiniOn:The project coordinators should not spend money they don’t have in the hope they’ll achieve their goal of gaining private donations, because there’s no certainty the goal will be reached.

Respect—it makes a difference Sitting in class, looking

around at my fellow students, the majority

of them are on computers. Of those that sit in front of me, where I can see their

computer screens, there’s five on Face-book, six checking emails, one ta k-ing photos with a we-bcam, and more on

different game websites.Nearly 80 percent of the

classes I’ve taken during my three years at N.C. State have been in the 50-to-75 minute range. Emails and Facebook updates can wait at least an hour—give your professor your respect.

A study by Stanford Uni-versity’s psychology depart-ment found that people who multitask “are often extremely conf ident in their abilities, but there’s evidence that those people are actually worse at multi-tasking than most people.”

The study found people who believe they are good multitaskers performed worse on memory and cog-nitive tasks involving dis-tractions than people who said they preferred to focus on one task at a time. This study can easily be applied to discourage multitasking during class, and to encour-age paying more respect to your professor.

My plant propagation professor, tends to put a lot

of things he says on the test, but not a lot of things that are on the PowerPoints he puts on Moodle. His PowerPoints are about half photos, which can be on the test and half text, which doesn’t always explain what we need to know about the photos.

The first day of class, when we were going over the syllabus, one thing he pointed out was his attendance policy and his common courtesy policy.

“Attendance in class is a dem-onstration of your commit-ment to the class, to your edu-cation, and your professional development… A positive, respectful, and productive ap-proach to the class, your work, your classmates and instructor is required in order to maintain a positive learning environ-ment for everyone.”

After being in the class for about half the semester, it’s really obvious to see how he sticks to his policies and how he expects his students to be respectful. He has, on one oc-casion, called the entire class out because of the number of people on cell phones and com-puters not respecting him and the rest of the class.

Last year, I had a problem with paying attention in my biology class. Even though I’m an agriculture major, biology is something I struggle with. About a month and a half into the semester, I realized just how much I was struggling with the information. I decided to do what I could to do better in the class.

I quit taking my computer to class to take notes on and started sitting closer and closer to the front of the room. Just those simple changes made all

the difference. I understood the material.

It’s actually rather amaz-ing to think how much of a difference that can make. Give it a try sometime if you’re struggling in a class. Although it might take a while to see the benefits, stick with it.

A simple Internet search of paying attention in class gives all sorts of tips and tricks of how to pay atten-tion in class. One of the ones that stands out the most and is repeated on several web-sites is to sit at the front of the classroom and main-tain eye contact with your professor when you can. In short, that’s a way of show-ing the professor that you care about the class and re-spect him or her as person and a professor.

My plant propagation professor has a statement in his syllabus that, in my experience, a lot professors adhere to.

“I reserve the right to ad-just the final grade upward in cases of excellent class attendance, class participa-tion, and demonstration of professional commitment and a positive attitude.”

Something that simple should enforce, not cause, your desire to attend every class session you can.

In short, to respect your professor is to pay attention in class, which is something they will notice.

Technician is misguided

Editor’s Note: This letter has been edited to fit our word limit.

In October 14’s printing of Technician, the staff’s viewpoint is remarkably misguiding and anti-inclusive. The view claims the N.C. Equality Act “goes against its original intentions of encouraging diversity of points of view throughout our state.” This is false. A review of the “summary of purpose” reveals the bill seeks to “support all N.C. State students.” In no way does this bill constrict anyone’s ability to diversely express him or herself; rather, its objective is to publicly condemn discriminatory practices against any N.C. State student.

The Technician staff is essentially condoning discriminatory acts, language and practices. The last time I checked, discrimination was not an acceptable form of diversity. Why are we entertaining the idea that a diverse population is one that includes discrimination? To me and many other N.C. State students, this is offensive and unacceptable.

Another false claim made is the Senate is attempting to “act as the surrogate opinion for the

student body.” I would like to know where this information has been collected. I have read the bill and nowhere does it say anything about speaking for the entire student body.

My view is that Friday’s Technician is an embarrassment to the University. This bill has nothing to do with being liberal or conservative; however, it has everything to do with showing support for all students. I suggest Technician issue an apology to the student population for publicly condemning a bill hoping to show support for its students in a time where we most need it.

FeaturesDragon boat racing has made its way into mainstream culture and Raleigh’s club hosts competitions.

Young LeeStaff Writer

A team of 20 people paddled a 40-foot long boat with the head of a dragon on the calm waters of Lake Wheeler Satur-day morning.

Calling themselves “The Arbornauts,” they were one of six teams participating in the Carolina Clash, a dragon boat event bringing together pad-dlers of all ages to raise aware-ness and money for the Pretty in Pink foundation.

The event was organized by the newly formed Raleigh Dragon Boat Club. Simone Mevs, a physician’s assistant working in the Raleigh area, started the club. Mevs became a dragon boat fanatic in Florida where she studied and she re-members how she fell in love with dragon boating when one of her classmates convinced her to come to one of the dragon boating practices in Miami.

“I came to one practice and fell in love with it,” Mevs said. “I came to a second practice and was invited by the team to come out to a community race. After my first race experience, I was totally sold. It hit home with my competitive nature, with my love for the outdoors, with my desire to be active and athletic and just meet with re-ally nice people.”

When Mevs moved to Ra-leigh, it was not long before she started bringing together a group of paddlers to form a club.

“I [wanted] to be able to bring [dragon boating] to the area that I’m living in, not only for my own selfish reasons, but

also because I couldn’t under-stand why such a developed city wouldn’t have exposure to dragon boating or why someone hadn’t brought it here already,” Mevs said. “So I figured that if there’s going to be a dragon boat team here, it looks like I’m going to have to do this myself.”

Through her own efforts and the work of the Interna-tional Dragon Boat Federation, dragon boat racing, originally a Chinese sport, continues to be a showcase for the positive aspects of globalization, cama-raderie and competition.

According to Mevs, the Caro-lina Clash was aimed to be an event of positivity. With more than 120 people coming early that Saturday morning with coolers of drinks and snacks, the Carolina Clash attracted a diverse group. People of all ages, backgrounds and walks of life competed together to support women struggling through breast cancer – an is-sue that resonates with many paddlers all over the world.

“There is a strong trend in the world of dragon boating to support breast cancer survivors and the reason for that is that about 15 years ago, in 1996, a gentleman by the name of Dr. Don McKenzie started a team in Vancouver and their team name is ‘A Breast in a Boat,’” Mevs said. “They were the first breast cancer survivor dragon boat team. The reason why they started that team was that at that time women who had gone through breast cancer treatment were told that they couldn’t participate in any sport that involved repetitive upper-body motion… because the fear was that they would develop lymphodema, which can be a debilitating condition where your extremities get very swollen.”

According to Mevs, there is

no body of evidence to support that claim and due to that lack of evidence, Dr. McKenzie sought to dispel that myth as he put 25 women together on a team.

“They were the first [lym-phodema] experiments in women after radiation treat-ment for breast cancer,” Mevs said.

The result of these “experi-ments” found that exercise does not increase chances of lymphodema and also in-grained breast cancer aware-ness and working with breast cancer survivors into the cul-ture of dragon boat racing.

However, Mevs hopes that paddlers got more out of the Carolina Clash than just a good feeling of having contributed to charity.

“I think that those who par-ticipated got a really good taste of what dragon boating is all about and how fun racing can be,” Mevs said.

For Mark Weathington, the assistant director and curator of collections of the N.C. State Arboretum, the message of Carolina Clash rang true. On Saturday, he was one the 20 people paddling on the “Ar-bornauts” team.

“I gave it a shot and I loved it,” Weathington said. “It’s a lot of fun. It’s a team sport but you can still do it if you’re a little older. I’m not as fast as I used to be. It’s a good work out.”

The Raleigh Dragon Boat Club is still growing and is welcome to have more partici-pants from N.C. State. How-ever, joining may be a little intimidating for some students.

Jack Tai, a sophomore in sta-tistics, admits although some students at the University may be interested, he is too lazy.

“I watched it on T.V. in Hong Kong when I was little and it looks pretty intense,” Tai said. “I’m too lazy. Maybe people more interested in f itness

would be interested.”In the meantime, Mevs and

the other Raleigh Dragon Boat Members will continue pad-dling.

“We will always have an are-na here for recreational pad-

dling and for people who are interested in the sport and want to do this for the other bene-fits that it imparts: a means of exercise, a way to experience outdoor activity, social inter-action,” Mevs said.

Leading the discussion on advancing high school educationAssistant professor travels to Washington D.C. to work to improve high school education.

Nistanth CoontoorStaff Writer

Proficiency in language and writing is on the decline nation-wide, according to the National Center for Education Statistics, and the Obama administration invited associate professor Su-san Miller-Cochran to partici-pate in a discussion forum to improve students’ preparation for college.

The White House hosted the community leaders briefing series Oct. 7 to facilitate inter-action between high schools and colleges to make students

“college ready.” The initiative follows concerns that were raised by representatives from the national Council of Writing Program Administrators that the common core standards addresses writing instruction narrowly.

“The department of educa-tion encourages participation in the discussion about the common core standards, and we discussed some of the dif-ferences between high school and college writing,” Susan Miller-Cochran, associate pro-fessor, department of English and director of First-Year Writ-ing program, said. “Students repeatedly practice a narrowly defined, five-paragraph writing model in school that does not work in college and beyond.”

According to Miller-Co-

chran, students are not always prepared for the kind of writing required in college.

“They seem to be focusing on just three kinds of writing: argumentative, descriptive a n d e x-position,” she sa id. “Every discipline in college requires different approach-es to writ-i ng . For instance, writing an experimental study or a lab report in biology is different from writing a research or a business proposal. Students are also tending to prepare keeping

standardized tests in mind. We brought this up. ”

Representatives also cau-tioned the administration on the concept of earning college credits while in high school.

“ I s a y this again keeping the writ-i n g i n -struction in mind,” Miller-Co-chran said. “Writing instruc-t i o n i n advanced

placement program is different from those taught in colleges.”

Fulfilling college-level re-quirements in high school saves time and money, according to

Miller-Cochran. But, for this to succeed, there must be bet-ter articulation between high schools and colleges.

“Our task now is to speak with state-level officials to discuss how the Common Core Standards will be implement-ed, assessed, and incorporated into the curriculum and to improve articulation between high school and college. There aren’t specific improvements or changes that students would see in either our curriculum at NC State or at the high school level that I can point to at this time, but our hope is that im-proved communication be-tween stakeholders will help students to be better prepared for what is expected at the col-lege level.”

take this game as a learning experience and work hard in practice to make ourselves better.”

Cyr, who had a season high 52 assists against Tech and cur-rently leads the ACC in assists, felt that the loss against Vir-ginia was different from most of their other games and that having numerous errors hurt the team.

“This game has been differ-ent from our five set matches, we didn’t fight as hard in the past, but its definitely going to improve from here on because we have learned from the past few matches and this last one was definitely the hardest to take,” Cyr said. “Those [er-rors] definitely hurt us, we just got to take care of the ball. I think when we passed the ball we would usually score, if we were out of the system or we didn’t take care of the ball that’s what really hurt us.”

Freshman Dariyan Hopper, who led the team in kills and

points against Tech, felt the team wasn’t prepared to take on the their foes from the state of Virginia and admitted that a certain amount of compla-cency might have creeped in.

“I think, overall, we didn’t come out mentally ready and prepared, we kind of thought that since we took Florida State and Miami, which were the top two teams in the conference, to five that it would be easier and we could kind of play to their level,” Hopper said. “That wasn’t the case and they came out just as fired up as we should have been and I think that was the difference in the game.”

Coach Bryan Bunn, who has had a mixed season so far after leading the team to 13 consecu-tive victories, felt the answer to all the defeats laid in the mental strength of the team.

“We have gone through quite a bit recently with all those 5-set matches. We got to find a way to grow mentally and be a little tougher, so that when we have to rebound next time and play again, we’ll be ready,” Bunn said. “We have to make sure we play at the level we are capable of.”

Bunn felt hard work was the key to lifting up the team, which has now gone almost three weeks without a win but was positive that they could overcome the obstacles in their path and get ready for the up-coming games.

“It’s tough, you have to get to the gym and you have to keep on working hard,” Bunn said. “The hardest thing when you are not being successful is to go back to work, and that’s what we got to do on Monday and Tuesday. We’ve got to work and get ready for Wednesday night.”

Bunn was quick to admit that the upcoming games would be a challenge and that the team was now realizing how tough the ACC actually is.

“Wake’s tough at their place. Duke’s one of the premier pro-grams in the conference so we got to work it out for us,” Bunn said. “We knew that when the ACC season started it was go-ing to be much tougher and the girls are now realizing that.”

What are the common core standards?The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a state-led effort to establish a shared set of clear educational standards for English language arts and mathematics that states can voluntarily adopt. These standards are designed to ensure that students graduating from high school are prepared to go to college or enter the workforce and that parents, teachers and students have a clear understanding of what is expected of them.

Features

ust in time for Halloween, Carolina Ballet will pro-vide Raleigh with a night of horror with dual per-formances of The Masque of the Red Death, then

Dracula. The Masque of the Red Death is

based on a short story by Ameri-can Gothic author Edgar Allen Poe. The performance of Dracula will be based on the novel by one of Ireland’s most renowned au-thors, Bram Stoker.

Last year, the double feature was a large success as the house sold out multiple nights of the performance. This year, Tony Award-winning choreographer Lynne Taylor-Corbett hopes the event will be equally entertain-ing.

Robert Weiss, founder and artistic director of Carolina Bal-let, is the choreographer of The Masque of the Red Death.

Professional ballerina Lara O’Brien practices for hours ev-ery day to master her dances for the Carolina Ballet company. But whenever she’s not working on homework for her textiles de-gree, O’Brien has been preparing for her current roles in Dracula and The Masque of the Red Death.

This performance will be one of countless shows for O’Brien since she settled into her career in Raleigh 10 years ago.

O’Brien was exposed to bal-let when she was eight. However, O’Brien’s dedication to the art was far from an ordinary young girl’s. Furthering her expertise throughout her youth, O’Brien became a professional ballerina at the age of 19. O’Brien has trained at both the School of Bal-let in Chicago and the American Ballet in New York City.

She quickly excelled in her work, rising from a trainee in 2001, to a soloist in 2004, now a principal in 2011.

O’Brien’s ballet career later took her to the Royal Danish Ballet through a program called the Dance American National Cultural Exchange. According to O’Brien, the program was “sort of like a ballet version of studying abroad.”

In 2006, O’Brien enrolled in

the textiles program. Accord-ing to O’Brien, she enjoys being around her fellow students as she accomplishes both her academic goals and furthers her profes-sional career in ballet.

O’Brien said with her student schedule and her occupation as a professional ballerina.

“It is hard to balance all that is going on…[ but I am] grateful to fulfill this career,” O’Brien said.

For many students, Dracula may be their first experience at a ballet.

According to O’Brien, will be a one-of-a-kind show.

“Every ballet is different,” O’Brien said. “Some have no words, and the story is told through the dance. In other bal-lets, the dancers perform to spo-ken word.”

Dracula will be a unique ballet itself. There is no orchestra ac-companiment for the dancers, and one character, Dr. Seward, will be speaking lines from a script.

Tony-nominated Broadway and television star Alan Campbell will play Dr. Seward.

Because the story of Dracula is so complex, Taylor-Corbett said the use of a narrator allows the audience to understand the show.

“[I] wanted Alan to speak lines, to help the story flow more smoothly,” Taylor Corbett said.

The paradox of the beautifully terrifying and silently seductive gives the production an edge of suspense. Unlike many ballets, the element of terror permeates this performance.

Robert Weiss’ production of The Masque of the Red Death is mystically engaging and dark. As the dancers flow effortlessly with the orchestra, the ballet is brought to a surprising and pow-erful close.

SportsBoth teams battled back and

forth on offense in the first half. Senior forward Tanya Cain and the offense thought the best way to develop scor-ing opportunities against the Hokie’s defense was drawing them to one side of the field.

“I think the main thing we were most successful at was switching the point of attack,” Cain said. “If we started out on the left side, we tried to bring the defense and cross it in [the box].

On the other hand, Virginia Tech’s offensive philosophy was to play throughballs and get be-hind the Wolfpack defensive line. On combating this tactic, redshirt senior Alex Berger and the defense tried to predict when Virginia Tech was going to pass the ball to its forwards.

“We were just trying to drop early and get reads when they were going to try to play it over the top; just drop early and win

it the first time,” Berger said.The Wolfpack was able to ac-

complish this task in the game and the Hokies were called offsides four times during the game.

In the first half, Virginia Tech was able to get the majority of its scoring chances through free kicks within 30 feet of the State goal. At the end of the half, Virginia Tech had five shots to meet t he Pac k ’s four.

State came out f lat to start the sec-o n d h a l f . The Hokies controlled the majority of possession and the energy on the field. Virginia Tech looked like they were going to take the lead with 26 minutes left when they had a one-on-one with Kern but Kern came in and stole the ball before the Hokie forward

could shoot.On Virginia Tech’s next of-

fensive attack, they were fouled by N.C. State and were given a free kick about 35 yards out from the goal. Kelsey Mitchell took the free kick and placed in on top of Jazmine Reeves’s head on the right of the goal. The ball flew over Kern and landed

in the back of the net, giv-ing Tech a 1-0 lead in the 68th minute.

In the last 10 minutes of the game, N.C . St ate m a d e a n aggressive comeback effort to tie the game but the Hok ies

survived for the win. In addi-tion to a stellar defensive per-formance, Berger led the team with three shots and provided N.C. State’s best scoring chance of the game, a header shortly after the Virginia Tech goal

that forced Hokie goalkeeper Dayle Colpitts to make a diving mid-air save.

Despite the two teams be-ing equal talent-wise, Coach Steve Springthorpe believed one quality was the difference in the game.

“Desire,” Springthorpe said. “In the end, Virginia Tech did what they needed to do to come out with a victory and that was finding a way to score that one goal and [playing] with a little more competitive desire. They showed that, on the field, with how they played and with the energy and the communica-tion. From a soccer point of view, there isn’t much of a dif-ference between the two teams, but today they seemed to be a bit more competitive then we were.”

The Wolfpack hopes to re-main in the hunt for the ACC tournament starting with their next game Thursday at home versus Clemson at 7 p.m.

his work ethic and character.“Anytime, we get into the

final third we throw it in, no question about that, obviously Zane is a great student and a great teammate and he has just been playing really steady all year in-training,” Findley said. “We were on a run of bad form and we needed to shake some things up and he has really taken his opportunity well.”

The second half started just as the first ended with mid-fielder Nazmi Albadawi and forward Zabarle Kollie com-

bining dangerously to almost give the Pack the win, but the Tech keeper was equally up to the task and made a string of fine saves to deny them both on numerous occasions.

The second half ended with the scores tied at one apiece as both teams tried their best to break the deadlock but in the end it was State who clinched the ‘W’ when in the seventh minute of overtime, Kollie laid-off the ball to Albadawi who turned around, took a touch and smashed the ball into the net to give coach Findley his first overtime victory in three attempts.

Kollie credited the numerous

chances the team was creating that led to overall success and also lauded the mental strength the team had that led to the overtime victory.

“I think our team is very solid in mak-ing qua l ity chances and I think we just have to f inish them as much as possible and we did that today,” Kollie said. “We didn’t let down or anything and I think that was key to our win. Some teams last

minute get weak mentally and physically and I think we did well.”

Tharakan felt it was an im-portant game for the Pack

who got their second ACC victory of the season and moved with-in two wins of the confer-ence leader.

“Anytime you get points in the league, I mean this

is by far the best league in the country so anytime you can get a result like this, three points,

it’s massive,” Tharakan said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s the first team in the conference or the last team, it’s three points and a step towards our goal.”

Findley was happy with the team performance and seemed impressed with the discipline his players showed.

“I think it was a great team performance. I thought we played well for the entire match. I was really pleased with the discipline and our position-ing,” Findley said. “In the end it was a great effort on goal, but I was pleased as well to watch us lock a ball in, defend well, move it quick and create that chance and in the end great goal by

Naz [Albadawi].”Findley, despite the win, was

confident that the team would not rest on their laurels and that it would continue in the same breath and go back to what they had been doing in order to keep the good work rolling.

“We want to get points at home, so we are pleased with that but now we have to turn back, recover and then we play South Carolina on Tuesday,” Findley said. “Failure awaits for those who rest on success made yesterday.”

State plays South Carolina Tuesday, Oct. 18 in Columbia, S.C.

Volleyball defeated by Virginia and Virginia Tech.

Rishav DeyStaff Writer

In another disappoint-ing weekend for N.C. State volleyball, Virginia and Virginia Tech handed the Pack consecutive home de-feats at Reynolds Coliseum to extend the Pack’s losing streak to six.

Virginia Tech (11-9, 4-5 ACC) and Virginia (8-11, 2-7 ACC) exploited State’s (14-8, 2-7 ACC) weakness at shutting down close games and took advantage of the mental fatigue generated by playing consecutive five-setters by beating them by five and four sets, respec-tively.

The Hokies dropped the Pack despite a stunning comeback in the second set where they won the fi-

nal nine points of the set to clinch it 26-24, but that battle seemed to be too much as they tamely lost the final set for their fifth consecutive five-set loss of the season.

The game against the Cavaliers from Virginia saw the Pack fire up after taking the first set 25-22, but that wouldn’t last long as they went on to lose the next three sets in a show that revealed how exerted the team was after playing multiple close games.

Junior Megan Cyr, who has played in every set the Pack has contested this year, felt the defeats were a part of the learning experience and the team needed to put in a lot of work to improve from there on.

“It’s definitely a learning ex-perience. I mean, we have had a tough road of matches this couple of weeks but we have learned from every match,” Cyr said. “We are going to

N.C. State defeats Virginia Tech 2-1.

Rishav DeyStaff Writer

N.C. State got its second ACC win of the season af-ter defeating Virginia Tech 2-1 in overtime at the Dail Soccer Stadium in a hotly contested affair.

The Pack (6-6-2, 2-3 ACC) started the game ag-gressively when, after 45 seconds, forward Ollie Kelly unleashed his venom with a shot that the Tech (3-9-1, 1-4 ACC) goalkeeper could barely tip over the bar. The offense kept on putting pressure with defender Si-mon Cox coming close a couple of times but it was the Hokies from Virginia Tech who drew first blood in the 30th minute.

A quick breakthrough and poor marking by the Pack defense led to a shot by Hokie forward James Shupp which goalkeeper Fabian Otte got a hand on but the ball still rolled into the goal to give Virginia Tech the initial lead.

Despite falling behind early, the game was domi-nated by State from that point on as the Pack cre-ated chance after chance. Those chances provided great dividends when senior

defender Zane Tharakan’s long throw with 42nd minute led to a huge scramble in the box and ultimately a goal after deflect-ing of Hokie defender to tie the score at 1-1 going into the halftime.

Tharakan, the team’s long throw specialist, felt the goal was crucial going into the sec-ond half as it helped tip the balance.

“It was more of a roll up your sleeves kind of a game at

the beginning, and we let in an unlucky goal,” Tharakan said. “I was proud of all the guys, we fought back and got the goal back and got some momentum going into the second half.”

Coach Kelly Findley, in his

first year in-charge of the team, was quick to praise Tharakan, who kept testing the Tech defense with his long throws throughout the game and for

Pack defeated by Hokies, 1-0.

Brian AndersonStaff Writer

State struggled to put the ball in the back of the net Sunday afternoon against Virginia Tech. The Pack’s offense proved to be inaccu-rate and failed to challenge the Hokies’ goalkeeper.

Before the game pink armbands, pompoms, and ribbons were handed out for National Breast Cancer Awareness month and Zeta Alpha Tau’s “Think Pink” Week.

Right out of the gates, the Virginia Tech offense was on the attack. In the first two minutes, the Hokies got an early scoring chance in the box with a wide-open shot after senior goalkeeper Kim Kern ran into a Virginia Tech player, but the shot went off the crossbar.
