Local Hispanics gather with White House officials to try and find a solution to immigration issues.
Mark Herring & Sruthi Mohan Features Editor &Staff Writer
Local civic activists, both legal and illegal, gathered together with Obama administration officials on Saturday to discuss the issues regarding illegal immigration.
The White House organized the summit in efforts to improve edu-cation for the Latino community. However, the discussion took a turn towards health care and immigration issues, rather than figuring out ways to make minor changes to the educa-tional success of legal Latino children.
After a few short introductions for the White House officials, the floor was given to community activists to pitch political reforms like develop-ing better cancer treatment programs for Latinos and finding the appropri-ate services for illegal families who are also dealing with children with autism. However, an overwhelming number of issues all stemmed from immigration.
Sergio Fonseca and Irvane de Diaz were two bold men who pitched their issues. They wore bright orange T-shirts with the statement, “Undocu-mented and Unafraid” emblazoned across their chests. They are members of a new non-profit organization made up of several illegal immigrants and their benefactors who are encourag-ing the thousands of undocumented
Latinos in North Carolina to come out of the shadows and live their lives without fear. Fonseca urged everyone present to vote for the Dream Act and help push it through Congress again.
“I have been living here since I was three years old,” Fonseca said. “My whole family — my parents, broth-ers, sisters and grandma all live here. And now, after having been caught and thrown in jail for DUI charges for
going 0.1 over the limit at the age of 22, I have been placed on the fast track to deportation. I have to leave by July and return to a country I have never even visited after moving here, to live with an aunt I have never before met.”
Yorleny Rodriguez has a similar story. She was detained at a check-point along with her husband and two children, and had all forms of identification documentation taken
away from her.“I have now not a single docu-
ment to prove to anyone who I am,” George Rodriguez, Yorley’s husband, said.

Dining considers several factors when creating their menu.
Lindsey RosenbaumStaff Writer
Dining halls constantly try to spice up their menus with a wide variety of tasty meals.
Some dining halls are known for specialty meals, such as the omelets at Case. The dining hall reserved pri-marily for athletes is renowned for having “better food,” but not every student agrees.
“I mean, the omelets are OK,” Christopher Grenier, freshman in engineering, said. “I really wish the eggs were real. I get them if the line isn’t too long, but it’s definitely not worth the wait.”
Still, Grenier, who is not an athlete and only gets to eat at Case twice a day, prefers it. He still appreciates the variety of the other two dining halls.
University Dining spends a great deal of time configuring a menu stu-dents on campus will enjoy.
“The menus for the dining halls are seasonal,” Jennifer Gilmore, the mar-keting and communications manger for Campus Enterprises, said.
“Meals are heavier for the winter,

Event brought together speakers from across the country.
Madison McLawhornStaff Writer
A conference took place in Park Shops from Friday to Sunday that featured expert speakers in communications from around the country, as well as the world.
The Local and Mobile Con-ference 2012 served as the third annual research symposium for the program of Communica-tion, Rhetoric and Digital Me-dia at N.C. State. It also marked the third joint international conference of the Pan-Ameri-can Mobilities Network and the Cosmobilities Network.
Adriana de Souza e Silva, an associate professor at the de-partment of communication, was chair of the conference. Silva is also the interim as-sociate director of the CRDM program and affiliated faculty at the Digital Games Research Center.
While the head of the con-ference was a local, many of those involved came to Raleigh from across the globe. Keynote speakers included Rich Ling, professor at the IT University of Copenhagen and Telenor’s Research Institute in Norway, Paul Dourish from Irvine, Ca. and Teri Reub from Buffalo, N.Y.
The three days consisted of 21 panel discussions led and
moderated by dozens of mobile communications and informa-tion technology specialists, as well as professors of com-munication from countries like France, Canada, the U.S., Denmark, Netherlands, Nige-ria, Brazil, Germany, Ireland, Italy and Germany.
The culturally diverse panels
served as a platform for discus-sion of the application of mo-bile resources in today’s world. The audience gained insight into how mobility and location influence the world around us, and also heard expert ideas of how these resources could be applied more effectively.
Several students had the op-
portunity to work the confer-ence. Caroline Funkhouser, junior in communications, had the position of tech sup-port in one of the panel rooms. As she helped presenters with microphones and PowerPoint presentations, she observed several of the speakers present.
One of these presentations
was that of Armond Towns from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
“[Towns] talked about the L.A. gang tours, which are tours you can pay to take through the ghetto of L.A. led by real gangsters, and how these tours affect the mobility of the black and Latino popula-
tions living in these commu-nities,” Funkhouser said. “He spoke about how these tours are interpreted differently by different people. This one was probably my favorite.”
Another talk was N.C. State’s Ryan McGrady’s “Wikipedia Zero and the Encyclopedic Ideal.”
“[McGrady dealt with] pro-liferation of Wikipedia in our society and how Wikipedia is attempting to become a force to gather all human knowledge for our benefit,” Funkhouser said.
Communications senior Khang Ngo also worked the conference.
“Being at the conference and hearing the panel, as well as getting to know the present-ers, gave me an inside look at what our professors actually do outside of teaching,” Ngo said. “They try to analyze and ad-vance current topics on a schol-arly level and redefine the old.”
Ngo enjoyed the event be-cause he could relate. “It is exactly like research papers that we do except on a more in depth level, and you get cater-ing.”
The weekend conference culminated in a presentation on Locative Media as Genera-tive Displacement by keynote speaker Teri Rueb from the University at Buffalo, followed by closing remarks from con-ference chair Adriana de Souza e Silva.
Technology weighs in on modern communication
Katherine hoKe/technicianAna Maria Nicolaci-da-Costa, professor at Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, speaks about the fear users have of disclosing location information in foursquare, a location based social networking site for mobile devices. Nicolaci-da-Costa was one of four on the panel discussing “Local and Cultural Uses of Mobile Technologies” at the three day Internationational Conference of the Pan-American Mobilities Network Saturday Mar. 17.
like chicken and dumplings, but they’ll get lighter for the spring,” Gilmore said.
Menus are planned at the beginning of every year based on four-week rotation menus. For each meal, University Din-ing tries to balance out one hot entree with a vegan or vegetar-ian entree. They also include specialty bars to add more se-lection.
University Dining relies on student feedback to make sure the menus are up to par. Three times a year, a select group of 30 students critique one of the four-week rotational menus. They are asked to mark what they liked and disliked.
“The best feedback is walk-ing around the dining halls and asking students if they are enjoying their meals,” Randy Lake, director of University Dining, said.
Taking into account feedback from the students, the cost of
equipment and supplies, and how healthy a meal might be, University Dining employees begins to plan menus. How-ever, planning is not as easy at it may seem.
“Food is personal,” Gilmore said. “What one person might love, others might not.”
As a way to break some of the monot-ony, Univer-sity Dining sponsors special din-ing events. Past events include Ital-ian Night, the Valentine’s Day Dinner and the Blueberry Event.
To plan these events, din-ing hall managers get together to throw around ideas. Some events are annual, while oth-ers, like the Blueberry Event, are new this year.
If it has been a slow day of dining and a significant amount of food has been left, a local charity collects the food
and redistributes it to various soup kitchens.
Health is a big priority for University Dining, seen with the unique opportunities of-fered to students. Students can attend free nutrition classes where they are taught how to make healthier choices in the dining halls, and how to make
meals under 500 calories.
I n a d d i -tion to health classes, the menu s for University Dining are programmed into a web-site, MyFit-
nessPal.com, which tracks meals, exercises and gives ca-loric allotments.
According to Lake, the din-ing halls always attempt to make something both familiar and new to the students.
“We want to chal lenge the students to eat different things,” Lake said.
discussion on immigration and marginalization of the Hispan-ic community on Thursday. Allan Parnell, vice president of Cedar Grove Institute for Sustainable Communities in Mebane, cited a specific case where districts of city limits in communities across the U.S., and Southern Pines as a local example, expand around many Latino neighborhoods, often denying them of services the cities provide.
“You bring into town who you want to bring in, and they’re not Latinos for many,” Parnell said.
According to Hannah Gill, director of UNC-Chapel Hill’s Latino Migration Project, poli-ticians are now using a tactic called self-deportation, in which undocumented immi-grants leave a particular com-munity because basic daily ac-tivities are too difficult to do as an illegal immigrant. Gill said Arizona’s controversial SB 1070 law that “has made racial profiling legal” and the state’s lower rates of immi-gration exemplify this trend. Mitt Romney has cited this as a strong strategy to discourage immigration.
“People just decide to pick up
and leave,” Gill said at the panel discussion.
Many frustrated advocates at the Durham summit also com-plained about how police offi-cers would stop them because of racial profiling.
The undocumented immi-grants argued if they are ex-pected to pay taxes, as they do with the deductions in their paychecks, they should have a way to ob-tain driver’s licenses or at least a very basic form of identifica-tion.
Esther Ola-varria, coun-selor to the secretary at the U.S. De-partment of Homeland Secu-rity, advises the secretary on immigration matters and im-migration reform. At the event, Olavarria listened to the mixed Spanish-English banter of those pleading their cases but could only give an indefinite, neutral answer due to the grav-ity and bipartisan responses to the issue and concluded it is the responsibility of Congress to resolve the immigration issue.
“Our president, Obama, began his term with a broken immigration system and so al-though I understand what you
may be going through... I don’t see a solution to this problem for the near future,” Olavarria said. “Congress doesn’t want to pass any immigration reform laws, and with states like Mis-sissippi and Alabama passing even more stringent immigra-tion laws, we can only continue struggling.”
The reality may be ugly for the Obama administration,
with an upset Latino com-mu n it y i n protest from the failure of t he Dream Act and the most depor-t a t ion s i n the country’s history in his term, accord-
ing to Helen Marrow, sociol-ogy professor at Tufts Univer-sity and member of the panel discussion.
“We see this ‘great awak-ening’ time and again, and Obama will avoid [immigra-tion] like the plague since ev-erything he’s pushed have been repressive for immigration,” Marrow said. “But 2012 may not be the election of the Lati-nos. That may be 2016, when all their documented children will be eligible to vote.”

N.C. State was awarded the President’s Award in the 2012 President’s
Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll last week for its attempts to incorporate community service into stu-dent’s learning.
Being one of only five univer-sities in the nation to win this award speaks volumes as to the amount of dedication our University has toward public service.
Our students could be de-fined by this type of hands-on experience to make an impact in the community rather than the typical apathetic, micro-wave generation we are por-trayed as.
N.C. State alone has ongo-ing service events for students
to get involved in. The Center for Student Leadership, Ethics and Public Service is devoted to this type of involvement, giving opportunities to affect communities on a national and global scale, as well as our own society here in Raleigh.
Various events not only allow students to demonstrate their service-orientated outlook, but also create a chance to demon-strate their political activism.
War on Terror protests, GLBT activism and the Oc-cupy movements are examples of our generation attempting to physically change and shape our society. However, we are
continually seen as a genera-tion marked by indifference. Generations before us were politically involved by voting in attempts to elect a represen-tative who could make a differ-ence.
Our generation is not so for-tunate to have a valid candi-date—of any kind—to rally behind. Because of this, we have developed a system for acting on, rather than talking about, what to change.
Our hours of community service outweigh those of the previous generations com-bined. We identify a problem and move toward the solu-
tion faster and more efficiently than our current leaders. Our branding of apathy is not only invalid but uncalled for be-cause of this determination to make a change.
We should continue to put forth the efforts in public ser-vice and lead younger genera-tions to follow our example. The current state of our society is asking for a change. We are getting tired of the bureaucrat-ic solutions to our problems—luckily the paradigm is shifting in our favor.
We should continue to dis-prove this view of our “lethar-gic” generation and continue to make an impact in the com-munities we interact with.
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.
We are not an apathetic generationThe FacTs:N.C. State won a presidential award for the amount of community service its students participates in. Our University integrates the importance of leadership in one’s community in various aspects of students’ lives.
Our OpiniOn:We are seen as the apathetic generation because of our lack of political activism; however, this is far from the truth. We approach community issues with action as opposed to representation.

Open love letter to the team
This is an open love let-ter to the N.C. State bas-ketball team and coach
Gottfried:I love you. I don’t always pro-
fess my love for 15 men at once, but when I do, it’s on a public
forum. Let me start out by explaining my feelings from the past few years.
When I came to N.C. State in 2009, basket-ball here was in a real slump. I would pessi-
mistically watch games. “We won’t win this one,” I would say. Of course I wanted us to win, but I hope you understand when I say my spirit was a little low. I was tired of watching a talented team get beaten by UNC and Duke over and over again. I knew we were good; we beat Duke the year they won the national championship, but we were inconsistent without good leadership. Watching the basketball game was like be-ing on a bad date: the first half went really well, but ended with me being blue after getting beat by Duke and UNC.
Then came the exciting news that C.J. Leslie, Lorenzo Brown and Ryan Harrow were bring-ing their talent to N.C. State in the coming season. I was giddy as a schoolgirl… until basket-ball season started. Again, the immense talent was apparent,
but the leadership just wasn’t there. Fingers were pointed, and then there was a coup that resulted in the sacking of Sid-ney Lowe. I didn’t know what to expect. It was like a break up —I felt guilty, but I wanted to see new people. Shortly after, Debbie Yow made what turned out to be the best decision any-one has ever made, ever.
I’ll be honest, I had never heard of the ‘Gottfather’ prior to his arrival at State, but I was ready for cha nge. I gladly wel-comed him, excited to s e e w h at he c ou ld do. He was hope per-sonified. A bronzed g o d s u r-rounded by golden light with his hands confidently placed on his hips. He kicked down the doors to the program in a fit of pure manliness, and immediately began rebuilding the founda-tion of a fallen titan’s house. I lusted after the coming basket-ball season, even with Harrow’s departure.
You didn’t disappoint, gen-tlemen. It’s been a hell of a trip, and now you’ve fought your way to the Sweet 16. Some of my most memorable moments of the semester were made in RBC Center, passionately shouting in a sweaty sea of red.
“I love you” doesn’t cut it. I want to say things like, “Watching you play works better than popping Vi-agra,” or, “If N.C. State bas-ketball was a food, it’d be Nutella,” and other things Technician won’t let me publish.
I want you all to know I’ll be supporting you while you’re playing in St. Louis Friday. I’ve been wearing my lucky game day Snuggie
for all of the tour-nament games, a n d I refuse to wash it until you w i n i t all. I am tremen-dously proud
of the entire team, and so is the rest of Wolfpack Na-tion. Thank you for giving us reason to say “Wolfpack back.”
Also, if you’re reading this, Lorenzo Brown, Face-book won’t let me ask to be your friend because you’re too awesome. Can we fix this?

Careful with your language
in response to Jon lewis’ column,“Could it be any worse?”i can’t help but feel Mr. lewis chose an apt title for his March 1 editorial “Could it be any worse?” Over the course of his piece, he happily highlights every flaw in modern political discourse. Rather than choosing to address the issues for which Mr. Santorum stands, he chose instead to ridicule not only the candidate, but those who support and agree with him. it isn’t wrong for Mr. lewis to hold an opinion—far from it. it is impressive to hold an opinion to the extent where one would be willing to put one’s name on a piece expressing that opinion in this way. indeed, it is not his opinion i am faulting. Rather, it is the way he chooses to express it. he uses caustic language to imply the stupidity of not only Santorum, but all social conservatives. he dismisses the entire opposing view as “backward” and states that “nobody could actually believe what he’s said.” As i said, it is perfectly acceptable to hold an opinion and to express it. however, what is the benefit in blatantly insulting one’s audience? how is it any way beneficial to Mr. lewis or his position to dismiss an entire section of American thought based on one man? i think it may be in Mr. lewis’ best interests to proofread his articles and consider them from an opposing viewpoint rather than assuming everyone understands a reason in his discourse.

A column misinterpreted
in response to Chelsey Francis’ column, “Cut the crap talk.”
At first when i read this column, i had the same impression as all students. how could you not stand up with us? But Chelsey is absolutely right when it comes down to the end of the column.
Most people believe she is saying the game was called fair and we shouldn’t be saying those things. But that’s not at all what she is trying to say. She is trying to say the things N.C. State students are saying about the game and refs, UNC players and coaches is going a little bit too far. When it comes down to saying “i’m going to kill those refs,” that’s way too far!
i’ll admit, i’ve said some things that were mean, but nothing to that extent. Students care about the image of our school sports-wise and player-wise, but when it comes down to damaging comments, students don’t seem to care what they personally look like and how they are portraying
the school and its students.Rivals make us who we
are, but we shouldn’t be uncivilized and downright rude. Just looking back at the comments on her post on the online paper, people were horrible to Chelsey, which in fact proves the point her column was trying to make. We should respect a writer’s opinion and try to understand it from her perspective instead of bashing it like a punching bag. i hear people say UNC is just as bad… well, then why are you sinking to their level?

Science articles are a good reflection Research and science is very important to me. the articles in Technician really catch my eye whenever they tell a story about students and their accomplishments alongside their professors. A lot of the stories cover and highlight achievement while showing just how dynamic N.C. State students are in research and science. i am writing you to discuss the way you incorporate science into Technician articles. the articles written are important, as they reflect how the institution feels about research and science. N.C. State is a university focusing on finding new information. Technician does an awesome job of highlighting the moments when useful information has been found by students. i would like to applaud your tactics and the ways in which you address the many science projects that students participate in. As a student it is encouraging, after reading your articles, to leave a mark on campus or just to get involved academically. the science articles presented in Technician represent how N.C. State values the students and their work as well as the faculty’s commitment to the academic success of students. this is important as sometimes students may not feel the need to go above and beyond, but recognizing students on a regular basis produces motivation and boosts the confidence of students who get recognized. if i could change anything about the attitude toward science in Technician,i wouldn’t. i believe it truly represents student life and their participation in the sciences. it is a great idea to continue to post similar stories to not only inform the audience but to motivate them as well. your articles are greatly appreciated.

N.C. State hosts the top-tier timbersports competition.
Katie SandersSenior Staff Writer
Many may know ESPN for Sports Center, but its second longest running show on is the STIHL Timbersports, the top-tier competition for lum-berjacks across the world.
Hundreds apply each year, and only the top 40 competitors are accepted to compete for the championship title. N.C. State hosted the southern regional competition this year, and had several students and alumni competing.
Six categories comprise the event: the springboard chop, the stock saw, the standing block, the single buck, the un-derhand and the hot saw. The most amusing for spectators to watch is probably the spring-board chop event, which in-volves climbing up trees and cutting them down.
“What it used to be is a way to get around knots and trees and old broken timber… the old way to chop off wood at the top of the tree was to put these planks of wood in the tree,” Brad Sorgen, the producer of the STIHL Timbersports se-ries, said.
The athletes chop small holes
into the sides of trees and then jam in planks called spring-boards, which they use to climb up at least nine feet. There they race to chop off the 12-inch top of the tree.
“It’s entertaining and scary—if you don’t have your boards set into the tree very well you have the possibility of falling and getting injured,” Sorgen said. “And you’re not only falling nine feet, but you have planks of wood in the way and your axe in your hand.”
Logan Scarborough, an N.C. State alum and forestry consul-tant, admitted that it was a bit dangerous—he unfortunately fell off a board during the com-petition—but that doesn’t slow him down. Two years ago he earned the title of U.S. colle-giate champion and is compet-ing as a pro this year.
“If you play with sharp ob-jects you’re going to get cut, you know?” Scarborough said.
If all the safety precautions are followed, there generally aren’t many mishaps.
“You don’t see injuries that often—you just see speed, power and precision,” Sorgen said.
Another one of the more ex-citing events is called the hot saw, in which the competitors race to make three six-inch cuts using their own custom-modified chain saws. The saw motors have been replaced, usually with outdoor water-craft engines or motorcy-cle engines, making them so powerful the world re-cord for this event is only a little over five seconds.
“The chain speed is mov-ing at around 200 mph and it ’s got 6s horse pow-ers,” Sorgen said. “These machines are loud, they’re screaming and they just burn through the wood.”
This was one of Scarbor-ough’s favorite events because it combines ingenuity with athleticism.
“Hot saw is a lot of fun—it’s aggravating sometimes, but
when things go your way it’s really self-gratifying. There are so many things that go into it,” Scarborough said.
Sorgen, however, favors the steel stock saw event, where athletes use identical chain saws to cut precisely measured “cookies” of wood off of a log.
“You can practice all of the rest of the disciplines until you’re blue in the face. The stock saw is one where no matter how hard you practice, anything can go wrong in it... ultimately it comes down to your precision at using a skilled
tool,” Sorgen said.
Victor Was-sack, a senior i n f o r e s t management, competes in the four collegiate events—the single buck, the standing block chop, t h e s t o c k saw and the underhand chop.
“I got into timbersports
when I was a freshman in col-lege,” Wassack said. “I was in the forestry program and one of the clubs was, of course, the forestry club.”
Wassack has a promising start as a timbersports athlete. Last year he finished second, and this year he won the South-
ern Qualifier and will be going onto the Collegiate Champion-ship this summer.
“I would definitely like to go pro,” Wassack said.
Going onto timbersports seemed like a natural progres-sion for Wassack, who played outfield on his high school baseball team and found him-self in college without a sport to participate in.
“I played baseball through high school, and in college I wasn’t really doing anything, so instead of a baseball bat in my hand I had an axe,” Was-sack said.
Scarborough also played baseball in high school, as a first baseman. While baseball does lead logically into tim-bersports, he said that it was a bit of a difficult transition. Scarborough recommends imagining that you are bat-ting pop-flies as you swing your axe, rather than a more natural baseball swing.
“You have to break that swing completely,” Scarborough said.
However, many other aspects of baseball do carry over. Was-sack believed playing baseball through high school has helped him in his timbersports career.
“There’s a lot... you’ve got to be very active and you’ve got to have good hand-eye coordina-tion,” Wassack said.
Scarborough was in agree-ment with Wassack, saying that the sport has more preci-sion to it than most people first believe.
“It’s a sport derived from lumberjacks back in the day, but when people hear that they think of it condescending a little bit… it’s a really fair sport, and it’s just like every-thing else—if you get good at it, it’s definitely worth watching,” Scarborough said.
‘Getting good’ at timbers-ports does mean being physi-cally fit—one of the ways to train is weightlifting accord-ing to Wassack—but practice, skill, and strategy are the more important aspects.
“It’s completely different in timbersports. If you’re 53, 52... you can beat everybody,” Scar-borough said.
Right now, despite its popu-larity on television, the sport is rather unknown, and so it forms a small, tight-knit com-munity of competitors.
“The athletes that participate in the sport aren’t full time lumberjack professionals—a lot of them are teachers, we have a couple who are lawyers or construction men, and they just happen to do this for fun because it’s been in their histo-ry and the heritage that’s been passed down in their family,” Sorgen said.
Scarborough enjoyed the at-mosphere this creates, saying that older competitors will help younger ones by teaching them how to modify chainsaws or by perfecting their swings.
“Everybody knows every-body,” Scarborough said.
A Raleigh church hopes to spread love and hope through ministry and new-age worship.
Nikki StoudtStaff Writer
The moment you walk into Vintage21, you know it’s no ordinary church. Each of the campuses—spaces for servic-es—are located in renovated spaces. Even the offices are set up in the old Raleigh Times printing house on Hargett Street. The original walls, ceil-ings and minimalist decoration give off the hippest of coffee shop vibes. And that’s the way the staff likes it.
Tyler Jones, founder and lead pastor of Vintage21 church, believes in loving where you are and giving back. So in the fall of 2002, he and 40 others started an interdenominational gathering in a loft on Hargett Street. Today, the congregation has blossomed into 1,200 week-ly members who meet at one of Vintage21’s three locations.
Jones, who lives downtown with his wife, Kimberly, and two daughters, has always had strong ties to the area. Both of his grandparents were mem-bers of the N.C. State family. Jones’ grandfather was a food science major while his grand-mother became a professor of English and etiquette. His par-ents were born in Raleigh and also attended N.C. State. Jones went on to attend UNC-Chapel Hill in the mid-1990s and never
left the area.“Having that strong connec-
tion to the Triangle fueled our decision to settle down and build a church here,” Jones said. “We felt like we were giv-ing back in a way.”
In addition to the fact that all staff members at Vintage21 have Twitter accounts—new territory for the religious leader community—Jones feels there are a few other key aspects that make Vintage21 unique.
“[Our] congregation is a rela-tively young one,” Jones said. “We have a good number of college students from Duke, N.C. State, Meredith and Cha-pel Hill. We’ve also got a lot of young families, especially as downtown Raleigh continues to change.”
This may contribute to the student-heavy congregation of Vintage21. Top-notch graphic designers, who are also mem-bers of the church, have devel-oped lights, sounds and presen-tations to keep the congrega-tion engaged and maintain the hype of the experience.
Like Vintage21, which start-ed with what Jones describes as “die-hard” local people, Raleigh has transformed and grown over the past few years. Jones said Vintage21 seeks to reach out to an ever-growing student population that con-tinues to increase in diversity. Jones and his staff can’t imag-ine being anywhere else.
“There is a whole revamp go-ing on downtown,” Jones said. “Raleigh is on an uptick. Bands are returning, art is returning.
To see all that—it’s a pretty amazing place to be.”
While ministry and worship is a vital part of any church, Vintage21 focuses more on uti-lizing one’s gifts and spreading love to one another than wast-ing those talents or being dis-engaged.
“We want to love the city we live in,” Jones said. “The people in our church are really gifted people and we do everything
we can to empower them and train them to love the city, too. It’s extremely important to us that we lift up and encourage as many and as much as possible.”
‘Reclaim,’ an organization established by Vintage21, seeks to assist the 135 million Ameri-can orphans by providing recreational and educational programs as well as day-to-day needs. ‘Corral,’ another ministry, is a rescue for young
girls who have been abused by gangs. The members of this organization aid the girls in getting educated, getting out of gang life and getting emo-tional and spiritual help.
“Through these groups, we really hope to empower every-one we come in contact with,” Jones said.
The most recognized aspect of Vintage21 is the willingness to listen. In a world of ‘Brick-
yard preachers,’ an open ear can be difficult to find.
“We want to be the place where doubters and cynics can come and be enthusiasti-cally against us or for us,” Jones said. “There is no manipulation or guilt. We welcome it, actu-ally. We want to be the place where it’s okay to disagree and discuss.”
Vintage21: A church for doubters, seekers and cynics
Charlie harless/TeChniCianTyler Jones is the lead pastor and founder of Vintage21. After graduating from UNC Chapel Hill, Jones moved to the Raleigh area and has been involved with various faith groups around State’s campus for 15 years now.

Harris Field turned into a festive Indian city as students sang along to popu-lar Hindi songs and danced together
Friday afternoon. However, the most common element was the paint.
The South Asian student associations, EKTAA for un-dergraduates and Maitri for graduate students, hosted the Hindu festival of Holi, a celebration of colors and the coming of the spring.
However, religion was only a minor part of Friday’s celebration.
“The story of Holi is complicated… it’s a story about the struggle of Prahlad keeping his faith, but over all, it’s the festival of color,” Chandni Bhalodia, a junior in biological sciences, said.
The commemoration of Holi comes from the Vaishnavism sect’s story of a demon king who condemned his son, Prahlad, a devotee to Vishnu, to death. Prahlad’s sister, Holika, con-spired to kill him in a pyre, but the flames engulfed her, not Prahlad. The festival Holi came from this triumph of good over evil, but to-day it’s remembered widely as the arrival of spring.
Holi signifies a cultural unification for many Hindus and non-Hindus of South Asia. Tasha Mangaldas, a senior in chemistry, compared it to Christmas — a mainstream, Western homologue.
“It’s the only things that reminds me of back home in India, it’s my most favorite festival and it’s a great time for people to come together,” Mangaldas said. Mangaldas moved to Raleigh when she started at N.C. State. “Back at home, we would all meet up at one place, like everyone in our class, and we would play pranks on each other.”
The pranks carried over to the N.C. State celebration,
and organizers provided water balloons for those who “played” Holi. Additionally, for $2 players bought dye to rub onto each other. According to Ripsi Patel, junior in psychology and president of EKTAA, the organization ordered the dye, a colored cornstarch, from a South Asian supply store in New Jersey. The authentic stuff, used in India, has a reputation for not being the most safe — in 2001, health-safety advocate groups Toxics Links and Vatavaran published a study exposing toxicity in some of the dyes. The only complaint for this Holi was running out of dye quickly.
Along with the spreading of dye from friend to friend, with the common greeting “Happy Holi,” music, dance and food completed the celebration.
“We eat this snack called papdi chaat, which is a mix of puffed rice, crackers and a few spices in a sauce,” Radhika Patel, a senior in biological sciences, said. “It’s like street food in India.”
The event attracted about 100 people, according to EKTAA officers, and many students without any South Asian heri-tage partook in the festivities.
Though this event seemed extreme to many gawking passersby, N.C. State’s cel-ebration was tame for Indian standards.
“People go crazy, with super soakers full of dyed water,” Bhalodia said. “The streets of India are just full of paint. It’s
running in the streets and people are decked out in it.”The paint signified the celebration, which students com-
memorated late this year, since the true Holi occurred during spring break.
Despite its late celebration, Nidhi Gandhi, a junior in biochemistry, said it’s always fun to observe Holi.
“It’s a time for people to unwind and get crazy,” Gandhi said. “But it’s all about the colors, hands down.”

Sportsence introducing Gottfried and advancing to the Sweet 16 was Howell’s transforma-tion. The big man who lost 30 pou nd s dur ing t he offseason has impressed his head coach.
“He made himself much more agile and quicker, and I think he’s done really well in our offense this year,” Gottfried said. “He’s typically smaller from a height position than everybody he plays against, he’s always going against taller guys. He’s played
pretty good this year. [Friday] was probably his best half of-fensively this year.”
Complementing State’s size, athleticism and basketball IQ, Aztec head coach Steve Fisher had high praise for the way
Howell and h i s t e a m -mates com-peted against his team.
“It ’s one thing to be big. It’s an-other thing to be good.
They’re big and good,” Fisher said. “Today was more about what North Carolina State did than what we didn’t do.”
The game ended with boos from the Aztec fans after the SDSU defense left an open lane to senior guard C.J. Williams,
who took advantage of the le-nience and closed the scoring with a powerful one-handed dunk with 13.1 seconds left.
The Pack would close out the competition with a 14-point victory leading up to Sun-day’s victorious battle versus Georgetown. Joining the Pack in St. Louis will be the No.2 seed Kansas Jayhawks, who face off Sunday night in Oma-ha, Neb.
When asked about the time that has elapsed since the Wolf-pack’s basketball glory days, Gottfried made his intentions clear.
“We always talk about how we have such great history at State,” Gottfried said. “But it’s time to build some new his-tory.”
handed pitcher Carlos Rodon who continued his dominance on the mound. The young southpaw threw eight innings, gave up four hits and allowed only one earned run while striking out nine. What was most impressive about Rodon’s outing was his ability to remain composed in a high-pressure first inning. After giving up two runs and two more Wake base runners on with no outs, he sprung the Pack out of the jam with his heat consistently
reaching the 90s on the radar gun.
“Started off a little reckless, but pulled through and got the win,” said Rodon, who was feel-ing good about his decision to come to State over going pro.
“One of the best decisions of my life... being here, getting a college education. This team is like a brotherhood and we all have one goal: to win.”
Rodon showed his durability, throwing 125 pitches and look-ing strong through the eighth inning when Coach Elliott Avent decided to relieve him.
“He wanted to finish, he could have finished,” Avent
said. “He was so mad at me in the ninth inning when I took him out.”
Seniors Andrew Ciencin and Ryan Mathews also homered in the sixth inning (their fourth and third on the season, re-spectively) to help solidify the win, causing Doak Field to sound like Carter-Finley or the PNC Arena with their fervent cheers of “Wolf! Pack!”
Another familiar storyline from Saturday’s game was that of the eminent talent of fresh-man Trae Turner. In the bot-tom of the third, Turner jacked the first home run of his college career to complement his two
stolen bases and two RBI’s of the day, making him the big-gest contributor to the Wolf-pack’s run total and adding on to his ACC-leading 17 stolen bases. The next highest total in the conference is eight.
“It feels good to be playing so well, but everyone is contribut-ing,” Turner said. “If one per-son doesn’t step up this game, another person steps it up. It’s awesome seeing everyone play-ing a part.”
Sunday’s game brought some struggles for the Pack’s front-loaded pitching staff, as fresh-man right-handed pitcher Lo-gan Jernigan got the start but
threw only two innings, giving up a run but striking out two. Senior right-handed pitcher Vance Williams came in as a middle reliever and sopho-more righty Anthony Tzamzis pitched the final three innings, giving up no runs and earning the win (4-1).
The runs were spread out as well, with RBI’s coming from five different players. How-ever, the Pack held it together to squeak out a win and bring their streak to five games and complete the sweep against Wake Forest.
“I like everything about how they’re playing right now. The
leadership of this ball club has been phenomenal,” Coach El-liott Avent said. “We have a lot of talent, a lot of young guys in the lineup everyday and their talent and hunger helps them follow our leaders.”
Avent also praised the home fans that showed up. “It was an unbelievable crowd — that helps so much. When you see the hill filled, you feel good about your chances every time,” Avent said.
Next, the Wolfpack takes on East Carolina University Tues-day in Greenville at 6 p.m.

with great focus,” Burke said. “I guess I let my tired-ness get the best of me. That may have affected me in the second half, but either way I felt like they had better de-fense on me. It was hard for me to get rebounds.”
Freeman exploded after her dismal first half. She scored 22 of her 26 points in the second half to go along with 4 second-half steals, bringing her game total to 6.
Appalachian was able to mount a nine-point lead with five minutes left in the second half, but the Pack showed a resilient attitude and was able to cut the lead
to two with 20 seconds remain-ing in the game.
With seven seconds remain-ing in the game with the score at 64-60, Appalachian, Burke drained two free throws to make it a two-point game. State was not able create a much-needed turnover and was forced to send Anna Free-man to the line. Freeman went two for two and put the game out of reach for the Pack.
“As a coach, I don’t think I’ve ever gone into a game with a season ending speech in mind,” Harper said. “[It was] really hard in the locker room to talk to our kids after the game and look at the seniors. It’s not how we wanted our season to end. We had hopes of playing a little more basketball... it just wasn’t meant to be today.”

Freshmen performance leaves Wake green with envy.
Ben Christoph Staff Writer
N.C. State (15-3, 5-1) faced a ranked conference opponent Wake Forest (16-7, 3-3) over the weekend in a three-game series. The battle between two teams near the top of the ACC Atlantic Division proved to be no great challenge for the Wolfpack, who took all three games.
In Friday’s series opener, the Pack took advantage of mistakes made by Wake and grabbed the early lead, scoring five runs through the first four innings on three errors. State’s bats came to life in the bottom of the sixth inning, putting four runs on the board with an RBI-single from junior Danny Canela, an RBI dou-ble by junior Chris Diaz and an RBI-single from senior Ryan Mathews.
Junior r ig ht-ha nded pitcher Ethan Ogburn got the start for the Wolfpack, keeping up a solid resume and continuing to establish himself as part of a very strong pitching staff. Friday,
he threw 5.2 innings, striking out three and giving up three runs on six hits, and getting the win (2-1). Junior right-handed pitcher Chris Overman came in as the closer and earned the save. With the win, the Wolf-pack broke the Deacs’ 14-game
winning streak and brought its own streak to four games heading into Saturday’s matchup.

Men’s basketball team headed to Sweet 16 after downing Georgetown and San Diego State.
Josh Hyatt & Sean FairholmSports Editor & Deputy Sports Editor
The Cardiac Pack is back.Not even a year transpired
between Athletics Director Debbie Yow hiring Mark Gottfried as N.C. State’s 19th head basketball coach and Georgetown’s Jason Clark missing a three-point heave at the buzzer to make a Wolfpack trip to the Sweet 16 official.
Somewhere in between, State came together and shocked even i t s most ar-dent sup-porters.
“ I b e t nobody in the world thought we ’ d be here right now,” junior forward Richard Howell said. “I just want to prove a lot of people wrong by keeping on going.”
After pulling off upsets of No. 6-seeded San Diego State and 3-seeded George-town, the Pack has earned a ticket to St. Louis, Mo. to face Purdue/Kansas under the bright lights of the Ed-ward Jones Dome - home of the NFL’s St. Louis Rams. NCSU had to hold off a ferocious rally from the Hoyas in the final minute, as an 11-point lead evapo-rated down the stretch.
Sophomore point guard Lorenzo Brown made sev-eral key plays in the final minute, including a pair of vital free throws with 10.6
seconds remaining, but all he could do was rejoice in the 66-63 triumph after George-town’s last attempt went beg-ging. Clark could only mut-ter two sentences when asked about the miss.
“I feel like I had a shot,” Clark said. “But it was off.”
Much has changed in the past 348 days since Brown saw his new coach take over. Perhaps the biggest change is success —Gottfried is the first Pack coach in program history to deliver a Sweet 16 appearance in his first year.
“I’m extremely proud of our team and these young guys,” Gottfried said. “They’ve grown up a lot this year. I think today, when you look how we were down early and came back and took the lead, just shows
how tough-minded they have become. It makes you very proud, as a coach.”
C .J. Wi l-liams, Scott Wood a nd C.J. Leslie led State against t he Hoy a s
with 14 points a piece. For the senior Williams, getting an op-portunity to bounce back after a disappointing 15-16 season is indeed a sweet feeling.
“I told C.J. [Williams], when we had like three minutes left, this is not his last game,” Brown said. “He said he knows, he’s ready to make some big shots, get some rebounds. He just played his heart out today.”
Prior to dominating the of-fensive glass and defeating the Hoyas, State battled the Aztecs of San Diego State two days earlier. With four Pack players in double digits, Howell led his team with 22 points en route to a 79-65 victory inside of Nationwide Arena. Although Howell made more of an im-pact in Sunday’s game apart
from scoring —- the Mariet-ta, Ga. native had 10 rebounds against Georgetown —- his performance against San Di-ego State caught everyone’s attention.
“I wanted to win, I didn’t want this to be my last game,” Howell said. “I felt free in the first half; I felt like I could do anything because I didn’t have any fouls. Things changed in
the second half, but I didn’t want to lose focus just because I was in foul trouble.”
One part of the transition from an April 5 press confer-

Senior for wa rd Bonae Holston ended her career at State with 9 points and 12 re-bounds. This would also mark the end of senior guard Emili Tasler’s career—a night in which she posted a 7 point and 3 assist performance.
“It’s been a great ex-perience,” Tasler said. “All of the seniors have grown and we’ve had the op-portunity to have two great coaches. I couldn’t change anything, so it’s been a great experience.”
The first half saw the Wolf-pack in control throughout. Sophomore center Kody Burke went on a streak of scoring eight straight points for the Pack early in the half and State got out to a seven-point lead, 23-16, with six minutes left.
The Mountaineers began to close the gap by the end of the half, bringing the score to 29-26, until junior guard Marissa Kastanek stole an inbounds pass and scored a buzzer-beater layup, putting the score at 31-25 going into the half.
Appalachian came out of the locker room poised to mount a comeback. A midrange jumper form forward Courtney Free-man made it a two point game, 33-31, with 17:40 remaining in the game. After a steal by Mountaineer guard Raven Gary, forward Anna Freeman
f inished the break and gave App the lead, 36-35.
“I felt l ike t h e y w e r e muc h more aggressive on defense in the second ha l f, muc h more
aggressive,” head coach Kellie Harper said.
Burke scored 17 points in the first half, but App State put the claps on her in the second, al-lowing her only 4 points. She finished the game with 21 points and 11 rebounds.
