Tools, like ‘Go Explore,’ are helping make virtual tours available to off-campus students.
Pranay DeshpandeStaff Writer
The University’s Admissions Office is taking campus tours to a whole new dimension.
The University is providing a
new virtual college open house ex-perience to students unable to visit campus through GPS-based tools and a new website.
Thomas Griffin, director of under-graduate admissions, said the virtual fair was conducted using www.col-legeweeklive.com services and also that students could attend the ses-sion simply by logging in online. Ac-cording to Griffin, the program had a virtual attendance of approximately 700 students.
“We hosted a virtual open house; students who couldn’t make it to cam-pus could login using a service and attend the session,” Griffin said.
Griffin said the virtual open house focused on the University, and online presentations were part of the pro-gram while hosting this event.
“It had five sections focusing on dif-ferent aspects of campus life and it was free to all the students interested in

Families and student volunteers mulched and planted 130 plants to beautify the campus this weekend as part of the University’s Parents and Families Weekend.
Joanna BanegasStaff Writer
As a part of Parents and Families Weekend, Office of Parents and Fami-lies Services held their 11th Student-Family Planting Project yesterday morning on Central Campus.
The service project was sponsored by the Center for Student Leadership, Ethics, & Public Service, University Housing and Grounds Management.
Laci Weeden, assistant director of Parents and Families Services, said approximately 40 people came to the
Sunday morning service project.“This is our eleventh year of doing
the planting project,” Weeden said. “We always pick a location around campus which is usually near one of the residential halls to beautify the campus and let the families give back by planting flowers, plants and trees.”
The families and student volun-teers mulched the area and planted 130 plants, which took them about an hour to complete, said Weeden.
“The CSLEPS office talked about the importance of service at the Uni-versity, because it is such a core value of who we care,” Weeden said. “We gave the families and students instruc-tions and education on the plants that we were planting today and then we started planting.”

Merely a flesh wound
A fight at the Jackpot Bar on Hillsborough Street left a 23-year-old man in critical condition at Rex Hospital.
Shivalik DagaStaff Writer
The Jackpot Bar on Hillsbor-ough Street had an eventful closing Thursday night.
According to reports, Evan Law-rence, a 23-year old man, barely managed to survive following a late night brawl that left him with a blood clot in the brain. The in-jury forced him to undergo surgery at Rex Hospital. He remained in critical condition as of Sunday evening.
Jenny Johnson, marketing coor-dinator at Rex Hospital, said Law-rence has not been discharged and remains under observation.
“He’s in critical condition,” Johnson said.
According to an Oct. 3 News and
Observer report, Lawrence was par-tying with friends at the bar at 1303 Hillsborough St. near downtown Ra-leigh, when the incident took place. Lawrence stepped outside to smoke a cigarette, accidently f licking the cigarette onto someone. This led the attacker to retaliate, which ballooned into a full-scale brawl which left the bar’s window panes smashed.
Residents living near the bar said approximately 50 pounds of glass—
from bottles, glasses and windows were smashed during the fight, and are still lying across the road from the bar.
Arthur Perry, who lives close to the Jackpot Bar on Hillsborough Street, said he was not aware of how the fight started.
“There was glass strewn all over the place. I don’t know how it all actually started, but they must have had a big fight,” Perry said.
Perry said the Jackpot Bar was plan-ning on closing down after that night, and this was just incidental.
It was a crowded night and the lot was packed with cars, Perry said. The bar’s window now has a gaping slit, wide enough for a thin person to enter.
According to Perry, the Jackpot Bar has always been a place for miscreants.
“They were a bunch of drunken rev-elers,” Perry said. “It’s good that they are closed now, they were always very loud and rowdy.”
No N.C. State students were found to be involved in the incident.
Lawrence’s family was unavailable for comment Sunday night.

Raleigh Police Department is investigating a kidnapping incident involving six students.
Brooke WalligStaff Writer
Six students were referred to the University following a kidnapping incident on Sept. 29 at Avent Ferry Complex, according to the campus police blotter.
One of the students also received a judicial referral for 6 counts of weap-ons violation. According to the case report, the seized weapons include two pendent knives, one cane sword, and three pairs of brass knuckles.
While the weapons charge has been
closed, according to Campus Police Public Relations Manager John Barn-well, the kidnapping case remains under investigation and is under the jurisdiction of the Raleigh Police De-partment.
“There was an incident involving six students that could be considered kidnapping,” Barnwell said. “That’s a Raleigh Police Department case, so I can’t provide much information be-cause it came off campus. Among the six individuals was a student who had weapons with him and was in viola-tion of University policy.”
Representatives for the Raleigh Police Department were unavailable for comment. Susan Grant, director of University Housing, was also un-available.

The deaths of N.C. State student Ray Ausbon and Gardner-Webb student Zac Tigner are under investigation after police found their bodies Saturday morning.
Kali MalloryStaff Writer
The bodies of 21-year-old Ray Ausbon and 19-year-old Zac Tign-
er were found Saturday morning at 817 Hillsborough St., Apt. 203, the home of Ausbon, according to Jim Sughrue, director of public affairs for Raleigh Police Department.
The police were responding to a 911 ‘suspicious persons’ call about two people near the 2nd floor fire escape landing at 9:26 a.m. Saturday morning when they found the bodies, Sughrue said.
According to Sughrue, the cause of death remains unclear.
“The bodies were given to medi-cal examiners for autopsy results. Toxicology results could take several weeks,” Sughrue said. “It’s inappropri-ate to speculate if it’s a drug overdose. There did not appear to be any signs of foul play.”
Ausbon was a senior in accounting. Tigner attended Gardner-Webb Uni-versity. Both students graduated from Apex High School.

The service project was lo-cated at Owen and Tucker Residential halls, according to Weeden.
“We chose Tucker beach, but the service project was origi-nally located at Turlington and Alexander Halls, but because of the rain we had to move loca-tions to the Owen and Tucker residential halls area,” Weeden said.
The Parents and Families Weekend service project has been a planting service project each year.
“We pick a different side of campus and beautify it,”
Weeden said. “We clean out the trash; we plant new plants and remove any damaged plants or trees.”
Weeden said University Housing is one of the part-ners that works with IRC, and thanks families for community service and provided refresh-ments at the service project.
“We got there and had some coffee and Krispy Kreme doughnuts,” Weeden said.
According to Weeden, three families returned from last year and several new families said they planned to come back next year.
“Some of them were alumni from the University and who were also horticultural majors who just wanted to do the ser-
vice project so that was very exciting to them,” Weeden said.
Weeden said the entire planting service project was great and the families were excited to give back to the University.
“We thanked the return-ing families with a gift and we thanked the new families with a spade that they could use for gardening and all the families left with N.C. State gardening gloves,” Weeden said.
N.C. State,” Griffin said.E. Carroll Joyner Visitor
Center provides students with a GPS-based application called Go Explore for campus tours.
Stacy Fair, director of E. Car-roll Joyner Visitor Center, said Go Explore provides students with an audio visual tour of the campus.
“The tool serves two pur-poses: to visit campus when we are not holding an official campus tour and students who can’t make it to the campus can also use it,” Fair said.
According to Fair, these tools will help out-of-state and inter-national students take virtual tours without needing to visit the campus.
“We are having minor im-provements in Go Explore. We are branding it with N.C. State’s logo,” Fair said.
Griffin said such tools and virtual open houses will en-courage students who cannot visit the University to apply as well.
“Using Learnhub environ-ment, we hope to do it for in-ternational students. This will help us engage with them at a more personal level,” Griffin said.
Fair also said the new pro-gram works in a virtual en-vironment will certainly help attract the attention of students who cannot visit the campus.
“We just want to spark their interest to bring them to cam-pus,” Fair said.
According to Griffin, virtual open houses will not be a per-manent replace-ment to tradition-a l op en houses, bu t a r e simply for those in which campus is inacces-sible.
“It’s not a replace-ment for traditional open house; we provide opportunity for people who can’t make it. University open house is schedule to take place on Oct. 16,” Griffin said.
Fair said student involve-ment, when it comes to devel-oping such applications, is very important.
“N.C. State is always look-ing to inspire students in stem areas and this application is one of many ways to show it. Students are involved in devel-
opment of this application as well,” Fair said.
According to Griffin, the University’s Admissions Of-fice is planning to extend their efforts in virtual tours.
“We definitely plan to have more of them and also partici-pate in virtual college fairs. We also plan to host international
open house for inter-national students,” Griffin said.
Griffin also said such ini-tiatives help cre-ate a posi-tive senti-ment for students
planning to come to the Uni-versity and that current student involvement cannot be ruled out when it comes to attract-ing new students to campus.
“Our students are always the best people to inform about the University to others. Student’s positivity attracts other stu-dents,” Griffin said..

Sunday afternoon in the University Honors Village was filled with music, side-walk chalk, corn-hole boards, Frisbee, cotton candy, hot dogs and grass.
Grass Day was started four years ago to celebrate the re-seeding of the Quad, and it caught on as an annual occur-rence each fall.
According to Michael Cope, a sophomore in aerospace en-gineering and Resident Advi-sor in Becton, no one was al-lowed in the area while it was
being reseeded. As a means of celebration, there were many games and activities that oc-curred on the lawn.
The celebration begins every year with a storming of the Quad. The entire area is taped off and at the beginning of the celebration students sprint onto the lawn.
The event, which was spon-sored by the Quad Area Coun-cil and the Resident Advisors in Becton, Bagwell and Berry Halls, occurred at the same time as West Fest, a similar festival on West Campus.
“The turnout for Grass Day was less than expected,” Cope
said, “but there were still a good number of people there.”
For Paula McDonald, a soph-omore in electrical engineer-ing, Grass Day provided an opportunity for the Honors Village to relax and have a bit of fun.
“I thought it was really in-teresting to see people chalk-ing the sidewalk,” McDonald said, “because people usually associate science and engineer-ing with the Honors Village.”
“It was fun to see everyone being artistic,” McDonald said.

Thursday’s town-hall style meeting on tuition lent insight into how tu-
ition increases are determined, but had a poor student turn-out. Many students may have made excuses not to go, but if they did not go, they have no right to complain. Just as it is with voting, one only gains the right to complain if they take action and initiative to change something.
This low participation does not make the point students want to make with the ad-ministration. It only tells the administration that students don’t care, don’t believe they have a voice or that every thing is fine. This doubtfully repre-sents the tuition-payers com-munity.
Students always harp on the
government and administra-tion to be transparent and be held accountable for their ac-tions. This does not mean making misinformed, lazy statements after something goes wrong. This means fol-lowing the administration’s actions and staying informed. Only by knowing the facts can students know the truth.
There is only one solution to this problem: empowerment. Students cannot expect the tuition changes, good or bad, to reflect their feelings if they do not go out and tell some-one. The chancellor and Stu-dent Government have made the motions to call students
out, now it is the students’ turn to answer the call. Students should get involved by asking questions and demanding an-swers when something doesn’t seem right. Go to Student Gov-ernment meetings or read the minutes and e-mail them your questions. The chancellor, In-terim Provost Warwick Arden and Patrick Devore, the chair of the Student Government Tuition and Fees committee, should be available for ques-tions. If there is something not provided, demand the answers and services to make it right, or demand a reason why they can-not. If students have solutions, make sure they are known.
You cannot say you were not listened to if you never speak out.
The lacking student turn-out does not say, ‘I don’t have a voice,’ it says, ‘I don’t care to have a voice.’ Finding a voice starts with empowerment. This is the beginning of mak-ing decisions, and decisions are the beginning of change. Stu-dents are in charge of making their own decisions, but things are not going to come together without staying informed or making a stand. Next time there is a problem with the adminis-tration or something doesn’t seem right, be informed and speak out. Don’t hang back and make gross assumptions that don’t help make the situ-ation better.
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.
Can’t complain until you’ve done the timeTHE FACTS:As a land grant institute funded mostly by the state of North Carolina, N.C. State’s tuition increases are determined by state appropriations. As appropriations go down, tuition goes up. While this was explained at the town hall meeting on Thursday, not many students showed up to the forum.
OUR OPINION:Students have no right to complain about tuition increases if they are not informed and do not go through the motions to change anything. To get anything done, students need to empower themselves and make informed decisions as they try make changes.

I am baffled by Student Government and the administration’s surprise at the dismal turnout for the Tuition Town Hall. Kelly Hook “honestly [didn’t] know.” Why wouldn’t students want to “partake in opportunities to provide feedback”? Let’s see‚It’s not like SG and the Administration didn’t just tell the entire student population to screw themselves at last year’s “opportunity” with the Talley Student Center renovation. Who decided that we needed a $744 mandatory health insurance fee this year? And what consultation was there about the $750 “because it’s easier” tuition hike? And why did the administration wait until the end of the workable summer to put it all together and enact it? And other situations like SG’s last minute
funding of the Ludacris concert. This leads to a very stretched and disenfranchised student population.I’m really not surprised by the turnout. The administration and SG can’t seriously expect students to just forget history (this isn’t Texas). Trust was destroyed last year, it takes time to build it back and we’re not off to a good start. The way I see it, the administration and SG are going to do whatever they want at the end of the day, why should I spend my evening being ignored?

Think outside the brickHave you ever had a bril-
liant idea that you felt would make a positive
change on campus? Well, get out your pen and paper, because here’s your chance to have your voice heard. The “The Think Outside the Brick Competi-tion” is an annual competition sponsored by Student Govern-ment’s Sustainability Commis-sion. It gives students at North
Carolina State Univer-sity the op-portunity to submit ideas
that make campus a more sus-tainable place. Once submit-ted, a committee of students, faculty and staff will review these ideas and choose two fi-nalists and a winner. This year, the winner will receive a $1000 grant to start their project, and the two finalists will each re-ceive $500.
After starting last year, the competition chose the Stu-dents for Organic United Liv-ing (S.O.U.L.) Garden as the first winner. Submitted by the Wolfpack Environmental Stu-dent Association, the garden has started to grow in a clear-ing behind the Lake Raleigh dam on Centennial Campus. Thanks to a successful growing season this summer, the garden
has yielded radishes, turnips, jalapenos, beans, pumpkins and more. As the summer turns to fall, the garden is al-ready making plans for next year. By spring, they should have a fence built, and they will begin selling three by four foot plots for $10.
While the S.O.U.L. Garden was the ulti-mate winner of last year’s competition, many other idea s were submitted. There was an idea to tint windows in the library re-ducing their energy bi l l. One group advocated planting more trees on campus. Not all of the ideas were simply facility enhancements either — there was a plan to create bas-ketball style backboards affixed to bins to encourage recycling, and there were others advocat-ing for fruit trees on campus.
Get ready to be creative and think big. The possibilities are endless, and anyone can submit as many ideas as they want. It’s easy to enter too. All you need to do is submit a one-page pro-
posal. The proposal should in-clude an outline of the project, as well an explanation of its im-pact. Its budget should not ex-ceed $1000, and should include how it would be implemented if chosen. All ideas must be sub-mitted by a current or former N.C. State student, and must be sent before 11:59p.m. on Nov.
15. All appli-cations will be reviewed, a nd e ve r y idea will be evaluated, so don’t hesitate to share your idea.
For more information, go to: http://students.ncsu.edu/exec/sustain-
ability/ or email any questions you have to [email protected].

Democratic Responsibility
This election season is the most interesting seasons that I can
remember. Our country is still not where it should be economically or politi-cally. Many people are frus-
trated with t he gov-ernment — b o t h Democrats a n d R e -publicans. Republi-cans w i l l tell you that extending govern-ment power
is far from being a problem solver and should be a last resort. Democrats believe that the government should be more responsible for our needs as Americans, but the circumstances and disap-pointment in the current leadership has them con-cerned about losing both houses of Congress. The Tea Party movement is going to make this November an interesting one. This neo-ultra-conservative move-ment has actually started to look like a third party instead of a rally against government. They believe in a constitutionally-limited government with respon-sible government spending and a fair or flat tax for all Americans.
It is clear that the majority of Americans are not happy with the current status of our coun-try, but it is even more clear that no one party or ideology is going to have answers that will please everyone. However, there is one way that you c a n m a k e sure to have your opinions expressed, and that is through the ballot.
The power to vote i s something that should not be taken lightly. I am not going to sit here and tell you to go vote, because quite frankly I don’t want all of you voting. In 2008, MTV and other popular organiza-tions ran their own type of campaigns to get everyone to vote. They were stressing the wrong point about the process. It is not important to go vote, it is important to be informed first and then go vote. I think everyone has the right to vote, but unless you are informed, it is a waste of your time and dan-gerous. In 2008, over 60% of the total U.S. population voted. It was the biggest turnout for an election in over 40 years. However, the knowledge of the candidates and their issues was
atrocious. There were countless radio and Youtube clips of peo-ple saying things such as Sarah Palin would make a great vice president for Barack Obama. It is comical that people would say that, but it is also frighten-
ing. An unin-
formed elec-torate can be just as dan-gerous as an evi l tyrant. I urge t he members of the N.C. State community as well as any-one else who reads this to start inform-ing yourself now. If you
are not informed about your candidates, I do not feel like you are doing your democratic duty. Please do not wait until election day and just vote for the people with the D or the R beside their names; that is how people like Bev Perdue get put into office. Give those votes to the people who can help you, your state, and your country the most. Make them earn their spot, and don’t vote for them because of the success or short-comings of the parties that they represent.

The International Festival had opportunities for students to volunteer or experience a variety of cultures at the Raleigh Convention Center.
Nasir KhatriStaff Writer
The 25th Annual Interna-tional Festival of Raleigh was held Friday through Sunday at the Raleigh Convention Center.
The program featured several exhibition stalls, performanc-es, how-to cooking lessons, and food booths from hundreds of different nations across the world, ranging from Egypt and Bangladesh to Switzerland and France. Although the event was extremely popular amongst the entire Raleigh population, the festival garnered a large amount of N.C. State students, as well.
Whether coming just to watch or to volunteer a booth, University students were treat-ed to a wide array of cultures. When first walking in, patrons were introduced to a red carpet on which they could walk and
see several stalls, all represent-ing different nations. Amongst these nations were Bangladesh, Switzerland, Pakistan, India, and Nepal.
Kaaenaat Mustafa, a junior in business administration, vol-unteered at the festival helping her mother’s Indian stall.
“It’s a re-ally nice sight when people from all dif-ferent walks of l i fe and backgrounds c a n c o m e together and educate oth-ers on their c u l t u r e . I t h i n k t hat fact is what brings most people to the in-ternational festival, and that is what the purpose of our stall is,” Mustafa said when asked about her views about the fes-tival.
On one end of the red carpet, however, was a long chain of food booths, from which fes-tival patrons could purchase foods from all different cul-tures for a small price. Dozens
of nations set up stalls along the strip to sell their foods, with nations such as Pakistan, Egypt, Kenya, France, Italy, and Afghanistan all being repre-sented. The food was a big at-traction at the festival, as well.
Shafiq Zaib, a junior in bio-logical sciences, volunteered at
her family’s food booth and was at-tracted to that aspect of the festival.
“People from all dif-ferent walks of life came to the Pakistani food booth, want ing to experience
our culture through the food and I felt proud to help them. It’s also worth noting that several booths donated their proceeds to charitable organi-zations in order to help those devastated by the recent floods in Pakistan,” Zaib said.
Zain Akhter, a senior in mechanical engineering, ex-pressed how much he enjoyed the food when asked about the
entire row of booths dedicated to selling food.
“Honestly, I like seeing all the different nations represented at the exhibition booths but the food stalls are the best. You ac-tually get to experience a dif-ferent culture, by eating their food and that’s what draws me to this festival every year. The different cultural perfor-mances on stage are also a big attraction for me,” Akhter said.
On the other end of the red carpet was a big stage on which groups representing different nations took turns dancing and performing for a lively audience. These performances included that of African drum-ming, Indonesian ballroom dancing, Hawaiian dancing, and Korean percussion.
Juwareyah Abdus-Saboor, a junior in social work, said she enjoyed the performances very much.
“I think the best dance was the Bhangra team’s from the Natya Academy. It’s always nice seeing their performances, since teams from this academy perform at many different pro-grams,” Abdus-Saboor said.

FeaturesCAMPUS & CAPITAL
GAME OBJECTIVE:The object of the game was to get from the starting point in Wolf Village, to the ending point at the Bell Tower. But there were four other checkpoints players had to go to before going to the Bell Tower. It did not matter what order players went to these, so players needed to be strategic to avoid getting captured. The first wave of zombies were played by the N.C. Parkour and NCSU Parkour/free running clubs, along with some of their Free Running/Parkour friends from Virginia Tech and other schools in the state. They only started out with about 25 people, but they had an edge on everyone considering they are conditioned and know this campus better than most, as well as how to move through it with ease. The Zombies started at the Bell tower and spread out
through the playing field as soon as the game started.
CHECKPOINT INFORMATION:At each checkpoint, there will be a bottle with a glow stick in it. The bottle will either contain a symbol, or something inside of it. The player must copy the symbol, or write down what item is in the bottle so the creators know the player has been to each checkpoint. -Starting point: “Wolf Village Parking lot” - This is where the players get ribbons, marking the players as Humans. Ending Point: “NCSU Bell Tower” Each check point will have a safe zone. Here is a rough breakdown of each of them: Checkpoint 1: “Dan Allen Parking Deck” - The check point will be on the bottom floor inside the oval-shaped opening in the middle of it. The safe zone will be the area inside the oval shaped opening once you step out you are fair game. Checkpoint 2: “Wood Residence Hall” - The check point is the picnic/benches area between the two buildings. The safe zone is the circular and flat area surrounding the benches/tables. Checkpoint 3: “The Brickyard” - This checkpoint is in the grass area that contains the “Wolf Ears.” As long as you are in this grass island, you are safe. Checkpoint 4: “The Greenway” - This is the most remote checkpoint, and it will be where the two paths converge to form one. The safe zone will be a 30-pace radius around the checkpoint itself. We realize this one is up to individual judgment, but please, just have fun with it and try to respect the rules. BONUS #1: For additional bragging rights to the brave, there is an optional check point inside the Free Expression Tunnel. There is no safe zone in this tunnel, so enter at your own risk! BONUS #2: For even more bragging rights, challenge yourself by entering “The Room,” the cube-shaped room near the outside lecture pit. Once again, no safe zone here.
SOURCE: SURVIVE RALEIGH FACEBOOK GROUP
BOUNDARIES:Do your best to stay inside of these boundaries. As a rule of thumb, stay on the inside sidewalks of Gorman Street, Hillsborough Street, Western Boulevard and Pullen Road. Players are allowed to walk the sidewalk along Gorman Street, to Hillsborough Street. But that is it, players must stay on this
sidewalk... so if you get confronted by a zombie, well, you are pretty much screwed.

Zombie takeover leads to campus mayhem
SURVIVE RALEIGH GAME PITTED STUDENTS AGAINST ONE ANOTHER IN A RACE TO THE BELL TOWER.
Laura WilkinsonFeatures Editor
Campus became a war zone dominated by zombies chasing after human flesh Friday night during Survive Raleigh.
The Survive Raleigh game began with hun-dreds of students ready for battle at Wolf Village and a small horde of zombies at the Bell Tower. Once the game began, it was every human for himself as people tried to outrun the zombies and make it to different checkpoints -- and ul-timately the Bell Tower -- to claim the title of Last Human Standing.
Chloe Schigoda, one of the event creators, said the event was based off a larger version that hap-pened in Washington, D.C.
“We wanted to do it here. We thought it might be fun to do some-
thing that involved exercise and meeting new people. Since it’s getting close to Halloween, the zombie thing seemed appropriate,” Sch-igoda said.
Sonum Nerurkar, a junior in environmental technology, found out about the event through friends and said it was a cool way to start off October and Halloween. Unfortunately, Nerur-kar didn’t last as a human.
“ I made it to two checkpoints, and then this guy started chasing me. I thought I lost him and then he came out of nowhere and killed me and he bit me. A little blood came out, but it’s OK, it’s not too bad. I had to go to the ER but I’m back,” Nerurkar said. “Then I became a zombie, and now I’ve been biting people and eating them.”
Nerurkar said she had killed about two hu-mans as a zombie and her victims struggled a little bit.
“I’m a little hungry so I’ve been trying to really get some juicy ones, but everyone’s dead. And dead isn’t as good as alive. It’s not as tasty,” Nerurkar said.
Chris Collins, a freshman in First Year College, said he was doing Calculus home-
work when he got a text from a friend say-ing there was a “zombie thing” meeting at Wolf Village.
“I barely made it there on time and I just got started. It was really spon-taneous,” Collins said. “Dan Al-len was a horrible idea. It was the closest [checkpoint], but it was
definitely swamped by the time we got there.”
After crossing the train tracks think-ing they were ninjas, Collins said he and
his friends emerged from the tracks to see a line of people standing just outside the safe zone. Collins was tagged soon afterwards by zombies.
“It didn’t last very long; it was very short-lived,” Collins said, but noted his kill count of seven.
While most students participated as hu-mans, groups such as N.C. State Parkour and Virginia Tech Parkour decided to put their skills to use as zombies.
Andrew Fellner, a freshman in aerospace engineering and member of NCSU Parkour, said the group had an edge over the humans.
“We train movement and we condition so much that [the creators] figured we’re only starting with a few people versus hundreds of people so we kind of had an edge over every-body due to our conditioning. That’s how we
became the zombies,” Fellner said. “We also got a few people from Virginia Tech who are really good at parkour.”
Jacob Robeson, a sophomore in engi-neering, science and mechanics at Vir-
ginia Tech and a member of the school’s parkour club, said the group was originally just going to do parkour Saturday.
“We figured Zombieland sounded cool so we came tonight. We didn’t really know
what was happening until we got here and we found we could either be a zombie or a human and if we were a zombie we would go hunt humans. We thought that sounded cooler, so
we started out as zombies,” Robeson said.
Robeson only had one kill, but he said it was difficult not knowing any of the campus.
“We started down where the humans start – I don’t know where that is – and we found out
they were all trying to get to the Bell Tower and we were just running around asking random people ‘Do you know where the Bell Tower is?’ A lot of people were like “uh… that way?” and they just kinda pointed,” Robeson said.
Victims were chosen based merely on first come, first served basis, according to Robeson.
“For us it was just who we saw. I feel like the campus is really big so we didn’t see that many people and when we did we just shouted “ZOMBIE” and if they didn’t yell ‘Zombie’ back we would chase them,” Robeson said.
Fellner said his kill count was at seven, but there were others still out there to be destroyed.
“I heard three people have made it so far,” Fellner said. “Maybe it’s just a rumor; maybe they’re just trying to instill hope within them-selves.”
Erin Morton, a senior in bioarcheaology, was stuck with two friends at the checkpoint in the Brickyard by the Wolf Ears.
“There’s lots of running and it’s really tiring but it’s really fun to play strategy. We started off at Wolf Village –there was a ton of people,” Morton said. “We went over to Wood Hall first and came at it from the back – there was a hole in the Western Boulevard fence and we snuck through some stuff. That’s where we met our first zombies. They were running after some other people so we ran the other way, we tried to figure out how to get through the railroad tracks, there were tons of zombies at the park-ing deck. Then we went up on Hillsborough and sprinted down here behind the library.”
Morton had been stuck at the Wolf Ears for about 10 to 15 minutes trying to figure out a strategy.
“We have to go to the Greenway and there are a lot of zombies around here who have told us there are a lot of zombies over there. We don’t really know what we’re going to do,” Morton said.
Andrew Smith, brother of a Virginia Tech Parkour club member, came from Washing-ton, D.C. as part of Urban Evolution, a gym started by parkour advocates. Smith said his main technique for killing humans was by ask-ing which side people were on.
“My main technique was walking up to people who looked like they may have been participating and then being like ‘are you guys playing? Are you human or zombie?’ and surprisingly enough, I got a lot of responses,” Smith said. “If they said Zombie, I let them go; if they said Human, I chased after them.”
Smith said he focused on Hillsborough Street to find his prey.
“My favorite method was I hung out with the capture-the-flag people. I just talked to them for a little bit,” Smith said. “When I saw people heading across I walked across the road to [Hillsborough Street] and they basically just walked along it. So I would just walk out to it, ask them and they had nowhere to go because the limits of the boundaries -- you couldn’t cross the road and there were buildings so you couldn’t cut back in, so I would just chase them down.”
Fellner said if the turnout is big enough, the creators may look to go downtown for a big-ger game.
“That would be epic, but there’s a lot of fac-tors involved in that. We’d probably have to notify the police to make sure it’s allowed,” Fellner said. “Even here, you’ve got people bolting in the middle of the street in front of cars. With so many people, you’re going to get some morons.”

we did [those things]. I know it’s a 3-0 loss, but we’re proud of how we played.”
Echoing the same statements from Kern, last season’s leading scorer Kara Blosser also said she acknowledges the team has come a long way after last sea-
son’s debacle. Blosser was one of the few players who gave her-self a scoring opportunity, as she recorded three of the Pack’s six shots on the night.
“Last year we went there and we were so intimidated,” Bloss-er said. “This game, we came out strong, played our butts off and it just came out the wrong way. We need to start scoring and we need to start working on finishing.”
Although Blosser and Kern were two of the best individu-al performers for State in this year’s contest, both of them fully appreciate how much selfless effort the other gives for a program that has slowly started turning the corner after not recording a winning sea-son since 2002. Blosser said the roommates know exactly how much they mean to Steve Springthope’s team.
“Ever since the ODU game, she’s came out and kept us in games,” Blosser said. “I tell her every night that she’s amazing and that I’m playing with the best keeper in the world.”
As the Wolfpack moves for-ward in conference play, coach Steve Springthorpe knows he will need the experience of Kern and Blosser to help a team that has played six freshman in each of the last two games versus top-five competition. Springthorpe also said that although his team came into the UNC game with virtually the same record the past two seasons, the likelihood of being able to translate solid efforts into ACC victories is much greater this time around.
“I think our team’s better,” Springthorpe said. “We de-fended better, and I still think we are a good attacking team. We need to get some players back a little healthier so we can get some more of those opportunities. But compared to where we were last year as opposed to this year, I think we’re way ahead.”
After falling to 1-2 in con-ference play, Thursday night’s game against Wake Forest could prove to be one of the most imperative matchups of the year. The start time is scheduled for 7 p.m. from Winston-Salem, N.C.

difference-maker out there tonight,” O’Brien said. “We couldn’t get him on the ground. There were other times when we did miss tackles and we blew a few things where we didn’t get lined up on defense, which obviously we have to get back and work on.”
But all of the blame can-not be placed squarely on the shoulders of the de-fense. The offense looked just about as much out of sync as the defense, getting outscored by Tech 34-13 in the second half. Playing a part in that was the adjust-ments the Tech defense made, relying on the blitz to try and stop Wilson and the offense.
“They continued to keep bringing the house and we didn’t capitalize on some of the opportunities we had to make,” Williams said. “We knew they were going to keep fighting and it was going to be a dog fight. But they just outplayed us.”
No matter where the blame is placed, the obvious fact about the game was the Pack’s inability to finish the contest and put the Hokies
away. “They just finished the game
better than we finished the game,” O’Brien said. “There is no excuse for us not finish-ing the football game. That is where you want to be, up by three with four minutes to go in the game. We spent a whole scrimmage practicing those situations during preseason camp so you are ready for those things.”
However, even though the players know they gave the game away, they understand there is still a long way to go in the season and needs to learn from this game, while setting their focus on the next game against Boston College.
“I definitely believe we should have won that game and could have won that game,” Wilson said. “But at some point you have to move on and look back at it and realize we have some-thing coming up next weekend and it’s another opportunity for us.”
VTcontinued from page 1
and nine for the match. Junior Becah Fogle had five kills in the first set and led all Pack players with ten in the match.
“I think it feels good to have that mentality that we’re work-ing,” junior Luiciana Shafer
said. “There was no doubt in our mind. We knew that we were going to win this. I think it’s a good feeling to know that we’re all on the same page. “
State also jumped out to an early lead in the second set. The Pack kept Miami at bay by jumping out to a 13-5 lead, but the Canes made a run at the tail end of the set. They came
within one point of State with a 23-22 score, but another kill from Salata, and a bad set from Miami’s Katie Gallagher gave the Pack the set, 25-22.
Sophomore Megan Cyr, who registered 31 assists in the match, said the key to victory was believing the team could win, even when the score be-came close.
“I think what we really fo-cused on this game was believ-ing that we could win no mat-ter what,” sophomore Megan Cyr said. “If we were down or it was tight, we knew that we were [going to] win. We truly believed that and that helped.”
The third set did not go as smoothly as the opening two sets for State. Miami broke out
to a 10-6 lead over the Pack. Af-ter coach Bryan Bunn called a timeout, the Pack was back in business as it regained the lead 15-14 on a kill from freshman Brie Merriwether.
Miami held the lead only one more time before another kill from Merriwether pushed the score to 19-17. The Pack never looked back, winning the final
set 25-22. The victory moves the team to 12-5 overall and 2-3 in the ACC.
“Oh it was excellent,” coach Bunn said. “We were up ahead and they made a little run on us and we took care of the ball.“
The next challenge for the Pack will come from the hands of Wake Forest on Friday in Winston-Salem.

The Pack bounced back from its loss against Flor-ida State to sweep Miami in three straight sets by the final scores 26-24, 25-22, and 25-22.
“Its always good to win,” coach Bryan Bunn said. “It’s very satisfying. We needed a win before we go on the road. We got four matches coming up when we’re out of town so it’s very good to finish with a win at home. “
In the f irst set, State jumped out to a 3-0 lead and maintained its mo-mentum throughout the opening set. Miami began
to charge back with a 4-0 run, leaving the score at 15-14, but a kill from junior Margaret Salata helped State regain its
composure. She also had two other kills in the set

Cross country places second at Great American meetThe women’s cross country team had a strong second place finish Friday at the Great American Cross Country Festival. The Pack was led by redshirt freshman Ryanna Henderson, who finished in fourth place with a time of 18:37.1. Marika Walker (18:47.1) and Bona Jones (18:53.3) also put together excellent performances for State, finishing in sixth and eighth place, respectively. Five of the top eight finishers were Wolfpack runners, but Jordan Jenkins and Tiayonna Blackmon did not factor into the team’s finish because they ran unattached. In addition to the women’s race, the Great American meet featured an 8k men’s race, but State opted not to field a team.

KEVIN COOK/TECHNICIANSenior wide receiver Owen Spencer catches a pass and gets tackled late in the fourth quarter of the N.C. State’s 30-41 loss to Virginia Tech at Carter-Finley Stadium on Oct. 2. Spencer led the Wolfpack in receiving yards with a total of 145 on six catches. Despite Spencer’s performance, N.C. State was not able to contain the Hokies’ running attack, losing its first game of the season.
Virginia Tech erases 17-point deficit to hand Pack its first loss of the season.
Taylor BarbourDeputy Sports Editor
With 1:30 remaining in the fourth quarter, Rus-sell Wilson and Co. were looking at a 34-30 deficit. The team jumped out to a 17-point lead in the first half, but saw its lead shrink and shrink until it found itself in this predicament. But there was still time. Carter-Finley Stadium was jam-packed with the third largest crowd in stadium
history, and every fan was on the edge of their seat.
At this point we all know what happened—Wi lson dropped back on the first play of the drive, lofted a ball up to senior receiver Jar-vis Williams, and the ball was picked of f, sea l ing the v ictor y for the Hok-i e s , w h i l e ending the Pack’s short-lived stay in t he top-25 and its undefeated season.
“Obviously a tough after-noon, we lost to a good football team but we made too many mistakes to give ourselves a
chance to ultimately win the football game,” coach Tom O’Brien said. “That was the difference.”
Wilson echoed O’Brien’s comments, but believed the main dif-ference was the fact that when it came down to it, the Hok ies made more b i g p l a y s t h a n t h e Pack when it counted.
“ T h a t i s what we have
to do to win games, close it out and step up and make a play here and there,” Wilson said. “They made one or two more plays than us and it went there
way.”Some of the mistakes O’Brien
was talking about included three interceptions by Wilson, one of which came when the Pack was in the red zone and had a chance to at least walk away with three points.
“The interceptions hurt there at the end,” O’Brien said. “We didn’t get any points and those are the kind of things we can’t do if we are going to be suc-cessful.”
The Pack completely failed to close out the game against Vir-ginia Tech in the second half. The defense gave up 253 yards and 34 points in the second half and looked a lot like last season’s porous unit, missing tackles left and right.

Women’s soccer drops second straight game with loss to No. 3 North Carolina.
Sean FairholmStaff Writer
Five days removed from a 1-0 loss to the top-ranked Boston College Eagles, N.C. State (7-5, 1-2 ACC) dropped its second straight decision with a 3-0 home loss to No. 3 North Caro-lina (10-1-1, 2-1) Friday night in front of a season-best crowd of 2,023 people. It was State’s first loss of the 2010 campaign in which it was defeated by more than one goal.
The scoring commenced when North Carolina’s Kealia Ohai nailed her seventh goal of the season on a shot from a tough angle at the 31:19 mark of the first half. Despite a
courageous eight-save perfor-mance out of junior keeper Kim Kern, the Wolfpack could not hold off the Tar Heels’ offen-sive pressure as Courtney Jones and Rachel Wood each scored midway through the second half to give the Tar Heels a 3-0 cushion. For Kern, who started the season off strong with four shutouts in her first 12 games, the defeat at the hands of State’s chief rival was a difficult one to take. However, the Raleigh native said that looking back at the progression of her team after they were outshot 22-1 in a 5-0 embarrassment in Chapel Hill a season ago, offered some encouragement.
“We couldn’t put anything together last year,” Kern said. “We couldn’t even pass the ball. We didn’t play hard and there was just no intensity. This year
