Candidates for Student Body President debate at Witherspoon Student Center Thursday night.

John WallStaff Writer

As 65 candidate supporters and on-lookers gathered around the Student Senate Chambers Thursday night, the Student Body Presidential candi-dates gave voice to their vision of N.C. State’s future.

The six candidates running this year were grilled on topics ranging from their plans on how to balance their ac-ademics with the position’s demand-ing schedule to their past experience on campus. Each candidate was given 60 seconds to answer questions clearly and concisely.

Ethan Bartlett, a junior in manage-ment, who kicked off the debate with his opening statement, emphasized his experience with the current Student Government regime.

As current Student Body President Kelly Hook’s Chief of Staff, Bartlett claimed his necessary experience comes from being Hook’s “right hand man.”

Bartlett focused the majority of his rhetoric on the disconnect between the student body and its understand-ing of Student Government, which works closely with University ad-ministration.

“There is a divide between the stu-dent body and the administration,” Bartlett said. “My goal is to connect

the student body and the administra-tion.”

But not all candidates agreed.Alex Grindstaff, a former member

of Student Government’s executive branch, said Student Government often gets in the way of what’s best for students, and claimed he could

reverse this.“I want to put students before stu-

dent government,” Grindstaff said.Max Kangkolo, a junior in business

administration, has no student gov-ernment experience, but said while the debate may be about who should be the next Student Body President, the

real focus of the candidates’ ener-gies should be on student needs.

“Without the student body, this position wouldn’t be needed,” Kangkolo said. “It’s definitely

The condition of the intramural fields has some students questioning the maintenance schedule.

Elise HeglarStaff Writer

A lack of proper time for main-tenance and chronic overuse have deteriorated N.C. State’s intramural fields, and students like Matt Kelly are concerned they are becoming too worn down.

The University makes the fields

available to students during the aca-demic year, except in rainy weather. Since they are used nearly every day, their degradation is only increasing, which Kelly said he wants changed.

“The fields are in poor condition. They’re dry, patchy, and are mostly dirt—especially in the upper fields—which is where we play soccer,” Kelly, a junior in environmental design in architecture, said. “I definitely wish they were in better condition.”

According to Jason Spivey, assistant director of intramural sports, it would be virtually impossible to repair the fields during the semester since the in-

tramural sports teams and physical education classes use them every day.

Spivey said in order to truly re-store the fields they would have to be closed on certain days, which would severely limit the intramural sports schedule.

“It is a challenge to keep these fields in good condition,” Spivey said. “We are working around a lot of teams and classes, and that makes it difficult to really restore

N.C. State: ‘We’re the only Wolfpack’

University General Counsel sent a request to Loyola University to discuss the discontinuation of Loyola’s use of the term “Wolfpack.”

Brooke WalligNews Editor

N.C. State has officially sent a warn-ing in the form of a cease and desist letter to Loyola University in New Orleans, LA, claiming the university is violating N.C. State’s right to be the sole user of the name “Wolfpack.”

While Loyola’s school colors are maroon and gold, and their mascot is “Havoc the Wolf,” according to N.C. State’s Office of General Coun-sel, represented in the cease and desist letter by Assistant General Counsel Shawn Troxler, Loyola’s use of the term “Wolfpack” is in fact in viola-tion of N.C. State’s trademark rights.

“Loyola University’s current use of ‘Wolfpack’ constitutes trademark infringement,” Troxler’s letter said. “N.C. State’s nickname and use of the ‘Wolfpack’ mark has been long and continuous. Although the mark has been registered since 1983, N.C. State’s use of the mark in its athletic sporting events dates back to at least 1947.”

Gregg Zarnstorff, N.C. State’s direc-tor of trademark licensing, said this letter was sent because N.C. State is

legally required by the federal govern-ment to act whenever it knows of an encroachment on its registered trade-mark.

“As a trademark owner, the Univer-sity is required to take certain actions if we find others using the trademark if we are to maintain our federal regis-tration in that mark,” Zarnstorff said.

According to Zarnstorff, the way N.C. State reacts to this potential in-fringement depends on the nature of Loyola’s use of the trademark.

“As a normal practice in trademark enforcement, we have measured steps in dealing with the various types of infringements,” Zarnstorff said. “This depends on the extent and whether the infringement is willful, predato-ry, abusive or simply a matter of ‘not knowing.’”

In this instance, Zarnstorff said he does not believe Loyola engaged in predatory or abusive trademark in-fringement, and that the matter could be resolved peacefully.

“I have to believe that, in this case, Loyola University did not know that we held a federal registration for ‘Wolfpack,’” Zarnstorff said. “I believe that we can reach an agreement with them that will be satisfactory to both universities.”

However, Gita Bolt, Loyola’s General Counsel, told Loyola’s student news-paper, The Maroon, she does not be-

University realignment now stretching to condense undergraduate academic programs.

Sagar SaneStaff Writer

As another development in a line of recently announced realignment projects, the Division of Undergradu-ate Academic Programs and Student Affairs will begin to be phased out. It will eventually be reorganized into a single administrative division.

According to Thomas Stafford, vice chancellor of student affairs, the pro-posal to merge the divisions of Stu-dent Affairs and Undergraduate Aca-demic Programs has been confirmed.

“We are basically planning a major strategic realignment of these two divisions to increase their organiza-tional efficiency and effectiveness,” Stafford said. “The work is still in the pipeline, and we will be taking certain important steps towards this merger, starting from July 1, 2011.”

There are quite a few things in pro-cess, Stafford said, so it will take some time for this merger to take effect.

“We are still evaluating how to go about this merger,” Stafford said.

“The final outcome of the exact structure and process is not yet de-termined.”

Stafford said students’ success is the

them.”During the summer when

most students are on break, the fields are treated as best as possible to return them to good condition.

Yet according to Spivey, it is difficult to keep the fields well-maintained due to all of the student use. As a result, by the spring semester the fields have lost most of the grass replanted over the summer.

However, despite the poor quality of the fields, Spivey said they are completely safe for student use and that the field deterioration is strictly from student overuse.

“The fields are in safe play-ing condition, and that is the most important thing,” Spivey said. “They do get beat down throughout the year with all of the student and class use, but overall they are safe.”

Michael Prechter, a senior in polymer and color chem-istry, said one of the best solu-tions would be to make more fields available for student use, as games on the current fields tend to get very crowded due to limited space.

“We simply don’t have enough fields. Games end up getting way too crowded and it just isn’t as fun to play anymore,” Prechter said. “Obviously it’s tough to add more fields because we live in Raleigh, which is a city. I just

really think that this is the only solution to the problem.”

However, there has not been any discussion recently of add-ing more intramural fields.

Instead, the University works with facility grounds mainte-nance to maintain the fields. A maintenance schedule is made at the beginning of each aca-demic year.

Although the University has a major in turf management, students within the major are not currently involved with field maintenance. Spivey said the University might be open to allowing students to assist with these tasks in the future.

“We would definitely be open to the idea of using students for that maintenance,” Spivey said. “We would need to use differ-ent logistics to make it work, but it is possible.”

According to Prechter, the main problem with trying to maintain the fields is deciding whether or not to close them on a regular basis for mainte-nance. He says students want the fields in good condition, but do not want to give up playing time to have them cared for.

“It’s tricky because I wouldn’t want them to close them off,” Prechter said. “But, I do want better conditions.”

about the student body, not the student body President.”

Alex Compton, who has not had any student gov-ernment experience, said he has “enough diversity [in on-campus activities] to un-derstand student needs,” and cited his participation in the University’s rugby team as one such example of this di-versity.

“I want to make sure ev-ery student’s voice is heard,” Compton said. “I’ll do my best to make sure that every students needs are met.”

Leo Verceles-Zara, a junior in biochemistry with no prior Student Government experi-ence, said although he, like every other candidate, be-lieves he is the best one for the job, it’s up to the students

to choose candidates based on their own ideals.

“Go out there and vote for the candidate that you believe aligns best with your ideas,” Verceles-Zara said.

Tom Stafford, vice chancel-lor for student affairs, said he believes having a debate helps students decide on their vot-ing preferences because it gives students a chance to hear each candidate’s proposals all at once.

“A forum like [the debate] is always really helpful to voters,” Stafford said. “If you know who you are going to vote for, you may change your mind when you hear them in a debate.”

Chandler Thompson, a ju-nior in economics, has been in-volved in student government for the entirety of her tenure here at N.C. State. She said she enjoyed the debate given all the candidates were able to gather and let their voices be heard.

“When you are choosing a student body President, you have to make sure that who you vote for is aware of the job, and is prepared to handle the job,” Thompson said.

Hook, who lef t halfway through the debate, had a mes-sage similar to Thompson’s, and said she finds it strange that people with no Student Government experience think they are capable of leading the campus community.

“I think it’s weird that [can-didates without experience] are coming into [student gov-ernment] and have a strong a desire to lead to the organiza-tion in which they have never been a part of, and have never attempted to ask what I think [being Student Body President] is about,” Hook said.

Several seniors are taking to the Brickyard to convey benefits of shopping locally.

Chelsey FrancisSenior Staff Writer

“Locally owned means in-dependently owned and oper-ated.”

This is the message a group of seniors completing their pub-lic relations capstone project are trying to promote through their endorsement of non-prof-it group Shop Local Raleigh.

Shop Local Raleigh’s mis-sion is to support and promote locally-owned, independent businesses in the Raleigh area.

But according to Ryan Shal-ley, a senior in communica-tions concentrated in public relations, part of the problem is many people do not know exactly what “local” means.

“Some of the people we in-terviewed thought local just meant close to you,” Shalley said. “Some people thought the Harris Teeter in Cameron Village was local.”

According to Shop Local Ra-leigh, for every $100 spent at a local store, $68 will stay in the community economy. How-ever, for every $100 spent at a non-locally owned store, only $42 stays in the community economy. The other money is then lost to other communi-ties.

According to Shalley and the organization, there are other benefits to shopping locally.

“Products bought locally are unique and buying locally pro-vides job opportunities,” Shal-ley said. “It’s also eco-friendly in the sense that it saves ship-ping costs and fuels.”

Michael Walden, an agricul-tural and resource economics professor, said buying locally is a good situation all around.

“Buying local can be a win-win for the retailer and for the economy at large,” Walden said.

The public relations class is divided into seven groups and

are all doing public relations for different places around Raleigh. According to Shalley, her group is concentrating on promoting Shop Local Raleigh at N.C. State because students do not always necessarily re-alize they are a part of Wake County’s economy.

lieve Loyola will have to change their mascot, and it would be incorrect to think it would es-calate into a serious legal issue.

Zarnstorff said no concrete legal action has been taken against Loyola University, and this letter serves simply to bring the problem to light and begin a discussion on how to solve the problem.

One of the concerns voiced by Troxler in the cease and desist letter was the potential for confusion that would arise should both universities con-tinue to use the same name for their athletic programs.

“While N.C. State applauds your efforts to promote your University [Loyola] and its athletic programs,” Troxler wrote, “Use of a mark that is identical to that of N.C. State in connection with similar services is likely to cause con-fusion and violates N.C. State’s

rights under federal and trade-mark law.”

However, Michael Giorlando, Loyola’s athletics director and head men’s basketball coach, told Loyola’s student newspa-per, The Maroon, the use of the Wolfpack name has nothing to do with bettering Loyola’s reputation through the use of N.C. State’s, but rather a matter of tradition.

“[The Wolfpack] has been our traditional name and logo for years,” Giorlando said.

At the same time, here at N.C. State students, such as Nelson Blair, a junior in middle grades language arts and social stud-ies education, said they aren’t pleased that the University’s name is being used elsewhere.

“I think it’s good that we sent them the letter because I think it’s great that we are the only school that uses ‘the Wolf-pack,’” Blair said. “I get tired of seeing multiple schools with the same mascot, so I’m all for being the only one.”

According to Blair, having a unique mascot boosts fan con-

fidence and morale—some-thing he said every university should strive for.

“I just think that having a different mascot than anyone else helps promote school pride,” Blair said. “For us, we’re the only students cheer-ing for the Wolfpack.”

While both N.C. State and Loyola universities are just beginning to discuss the ramifications of Loyola also using Wolfpack in associa-tion with their athletic pro-grams, junior environmental technology major Boubekeur Dahmane said it is unaccept-able for Loyola to continue its use of N.C. State’s historic nickname.

“If someone else uses [the Wolfpack], then it becomes meaningless,” Dahmane said. “It’s more than just a logo or a name. It represents every proud member of the Pack at N.C. State.”

top 10 reasons to shop local:

“i’ll do my best to make sure every student need

is met.”

“i hope to include the whole campus in more

community service.”

“Students first, not Stu-dent government.”

“We’re facing tough times in this upcoming year.”

“i want to make sure the student body and admin-istration communicate.”

“i think the Student Body President’s job is to relay

the ideas of students.”

is the top reason behind this decision.

“The University’s strategic plan has identified students as the top priority in the de-cisions they make in near fu-ture,” Stafford said. “By this merger, students would be benefited the most.”

John Ambrose, dean of Un-dergraduate Academic Pro-grams, said budget cuts were also included in the reasoning for the plan.

“The possibility of financial savings down the road was certainly in our minds,” Am-brose said. “Besides, the fact that myself and Mr. Stafford will be retiring at the same time would vacate two top positions at the same time. It then makes sense to make the change and have just one position for the merged divi-sion. This would also lead to streamlined administrative structure and would increase

administrative overhead sub-stantially.”

According to Ambrose, some positions may be cut along with the merger.

“In this process, overlapping positions may be phased out. But this does not mean all of them will be cut. There will be some overlapping positions will stay in the system,” Am-brose said. “Given the position cuts, there is a chance that we will have more opportunities for student part-time jobs, es-pecially in IT administration. This is mainly because the stu-dent jobs are temporary and on a project basis.”

According to Ameya Ghol-kar, a graduate student in computer science, the possi-bility of increased student job opportunities after the merger is exciting news.

“It will be great if we get more job opportunities after the merger,” Gholkar said. “We normally have a tough time finding a technical job on campus and if this merger opens up more jobs for stu-dents, especially the technical

ones.”Stafford said the major deci-

sions will be made by the end of the coming fall semester.

“We will take some steps by through this year till the end of fall semester,” Stafford said. “The selection process for the common position replacing myself and Mr. Ambrose will take place in next spring.”

Ambrose said the University Career Center and co-op office will have a common director starting in July.

“This is one of the steps we are taking towards the reorga-nization of the two divisions. The University Career Center and Co-op Office are separate bodies as of today,” Ambrose said. “But the director of Uni-versity Career Center will re-sign before the fall semester and the head of the Co-op Of-fice will hold the position for both and thus will be combined into one unit and housed in the Division of Undergraduate Ac-ademic Programs.”

Choose your representatives

responsibly

Students will bevoting for their new set of represen-tatives on March 29. This

is a great opportunity for us to mold the future of N.C. State.

Student Body Elections are a ver y i m-portant event at N.C. State University; we need to act as-sertively and vote respon-sibly. This is our chance to shape our fu-ture by elect-

ing the right candidates, and we need to participate in making it a success.

According to the Student Government website, 5,717 completed ballots were cast from a pool of 31,872 students who were eligible to vote. This figure is less than 19 percent of the total student community at N.C. State. The reason for such a low turnout is due to the fact that these elections are not ad-vertised effectively. Students don’t know about the elections and the impacts they have on our lives. On the other hand, few students who are aware of these elections and chose not to vote discard the event as unim-portant.

We need to rea l i ze t hat these events have the po-tential to have a tremendous impact on our community. If we choose the candidates that are not right for our representa-tion, we will jeopardize our future and the future of prospective students. In these tough economic times, when budget cuts are looming over N.C. State, this Student Body Election is of extreme importance. The next set of representatives will have the potential to work with admin-istration to pull N.C. State through the budget crisis.

The candidates we elect on March 29 will be representa-tives of a student community, a community more than 33,000 strong. Student Government needs to take responsibility of making every student aware of the elections. More public-ity to these elections by Student Government and University administration will help in increasing the voting percent-age. The students who don’t

understand the importance of these elections need to realize that if they choose not to vote, they will have no right to judge the new representatives. Those that do choose to vote need to do so not based on campaign-ing signs, but rather the facts.

Students need to gather in-formation before they decide to vote for a candidate. There are plenty of resources avail-able for students willing to look up their representatives. Each candidate has a website; they can email their candidates or find information using Stu-dent Government’s website. By gathering information about candidates, they can identify with candidates and their plat-forms. This will help the stu-dent body choose candidates that identify with their own concerns.

The elections put a great amount of responsibility on each student at N.C. State. The responsibility is to choose the vision for the future of our University. The election is not a futile exercise and we need to consider its purpose. It gives each individual student a chance to elect their representa-tion in the student government, a purpose to look forward to, an ideology to vote for and a

candidate to select.

A l l s t u -dent s t hat don’t vote are indirectly supporting ideologies and candi-d ate s t hat a re opp o -site to their v ie w s a nd thoughts. The moment

we choose not to vote, we give a chance to a person whom we never wanted to represent us. This is our chance to partici-pate in the elections and make a difference by choosing the right candidates who are aware of their duties and responsibili-ties.

{ }OUR VIEW

Administrators are cur-rently discussing the merger of the Office of

Equal Opportunity and Of-fice for Diversity and Inclu-sion. Those involved in this merger saw the benefit of hav-ing the unified organization. This combination of the two offices allows students to keep their resource centers and re-duce redundancy. The idea of a unified organization could not only prove to be influential around campus, but also to the budget at N.C. State.

The merger between the two offices will result in the Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity. As described by the

faculty of these organizations, the merger will provide more resources to a larger unit of people. This initiative is finally a step in the right direction by University officials.

However, as seen in the past, administrators have been known to not keep their word when making decisions for the improvement of our Univer-sity. Administrators should be commended, but also made ac-countable for this idea.

In contrast to the rash deci-sion to eliminate pre-law ser-

vices last week, administrators have improved their image by demonstrating they are able to make common-sense decisions regarding the welfare of the students. The next is to ensure these steps will be embraced with the same positive attitude as this merger rather than fear and panic.

This can only be done by sticking to their decision, but also by having the same mind-set when addressing other de-cisions to be made about the budget cuts. Administrators

should be looking at and evalu-ating various programs around campus for their eligibility to be combined with another rel-evant organization.

This seemingly simple idea makes complete sense when identifying what programs need to be for the improve-ment of our University.

This idea applied to the Of-fice of Equal Opportunity and the Office for Diversity and Inclusion should demonstrate the ideal way to handle these fearful budget cuts, while pre-serving jobs and resources to our faculty and students.

responsibility of the editor-in-chief.

A step in the right directionTHE FACTS:The University’s realignment plan has resulted in the merger of the Office of Equal Opportunity and Office for Diversity and Inclusion. The women’s center, GLBT Center and Multicultural Student Affairs are included in this merger

OUR OPINION:This type of change is an effective way to turn this negative situation into a positive one. Administration should find more programs that would benefit from combining their resources.

Elimination of pre-law programs: a student’s unfair treatment

I am no Student Body President, I am no Stu-dent Senate Member. I

am a simple humble student at North Carolina State

University and I say to my leaders: reinstate the pre-law

program and safeguard the educational development of each and every single stu-dent at this University. Recent events, such as the decision to eliminate the pre-law services as it seems to be a fruitless program, have made me question what our leaders at State are prioritizing.

We are a 33,000 mem-ber family that has stood behind this school and its leaders. But when those leaders feel that to save a few dollars the best option is to get rid of a program that is the sole source of advice, information, help and guid-ance for the generations of law students of today and tomorrow, I believe I do not have the right to feel op-pressed and unfairly treated by the very people I relied upon to provide a bright future for me and my peers at this University.

Every student at this school; white, black, Asian, international, local, male, female, nerd, jock, gay or straight, deserves the right to pursue what they truly wish to pursue. I know that there are several hundreds,

if not thousands, of students at this University who would like to pursue law, or at least who have a general interest in the program.

Administration, I do not ex-pect this message to be taken lightly. Nor do I even expect it to be taken seriously. What is one s t udent i n 33,000 writ-ing going to do anything? What differ-ence does he feel he can make in our minds? I warn every single one of you that there will be many people on this campus that will be disenfranchised and feel completely let down and alone if you cut their lines of advice and guidance.

We are the University. We are the Wolfpack. That is what makes us a part of this Uni-versity. It would be a failure of this proud institution to not provide even one student the chance to fulfill his or her dreams.

It is up to us, together, to do this. But if we are alienated by the very people we rely upon and cannot elect them to lead us, then it is the collective fail-ure of the University to provide for its students and every per-son that has called him or her-self a member of the Wolfpack to look at the legacy we have tarnished.

For the alumni, for the stu-dents of today and for the stu-

dents of tomorrow, focus your efforts on providing for the students of this University or pay the con-sequences later of losing prospective students, losing current students, facing the mass disenfranchisement of

students, t he d i s-content of perfor-mance of its leaders and help-ing create positions i n a l l graduate

schools that will be filled by other students from other institutions. And it all starts with the elimination of educational programs and advising.

Michael RamosGuest Columnist

The Muslim Student Association hosted the event Behind the Veil to open discussion about the headscarf.

Mark HerringLife & Style Editor

Donning a colorful scarf over her neck and hair, Kate Watkins, freshman in inter-national studies, walked into her yoga class and quickly drew the attention of peers. As a par-ticipant in Behind the Veil, an educational event sponsored by the Muslim Student Associa-tion, Watkins and other non-Muslim students wore the hijab for a day.

“I think it’s important to un-derstand people who are dif-ferent than me by walking in their shoes before I make any judgments,” Watkins said.

The cultural exchange of wearing the hijab extends past the realm of apparel and covers the aspect of the hijab as a life-style choice. As a requirement for women in the Koran, the hijab carries a spiritual signifi-cance for many young women.

A cloud of controversy has surrounded this Muslim gar-ment and event organizers said they chose to do this exchange to demonstrate the true mean-ing of the hijab and to clarify common misconceptions.

“This isn’t a symbol of op-pression,” Fatima Fareed, a freshman in elementary edu-cation, said. “As a woman I feel liberated while wearing the hi-jab, and there is no contradic-tion. It’s a sign of modesty and respect and I feel empowered to do so.”

The event included a panel discussion with three Muslim women—two who chose to

wear the headdress and one woman who chose not to wear it yet.

“Never had I been ashamed of being Muslim,” Sameen Mu-jtaba, a junior in polymer color chemistry said while telling her narrative of when she started wearing the hijab. “When I was younger I used to wear capris but one day I met a girl who converted to Islam wearing the hijab. It made a lasting impres-sion on me.”

There is a recommended age in Islam, at around puberty, when it’s appropriate to don the hijab, which is only the headscarf—not to be confused with the burqa, which is a full-body covering. However, many young women are encouraged to take their time when consid-ering when to put on the hijab.

“Of course, if it’s forced upon you, you won’t understand its importance and coersion is counterproductive,” Doaa Dorgham, a junior in psychol-ogy, said. As event organizer and fellow hijabi (one who wears the hijab), Dorgham said Muslim women should only wear the hijab when they are most comfortable doing so. “It’s not worth it just going through the motions. Islam doesn’t just consider your ac-tions, but also your intentions.”

The theme of modesty reap-peared throughout the panel discussion, and the panelists described their perspectives of modesty not just regarding physical appearance, but also decent behavior.

“When I was thinking about modesty,” Mujtaba said, “I thought that someone who isn’t modest is someone who’s trying too hard—trying too hard to impress someone. A lot of the stuff I’m inclined to do is probably more geared to

impressing someone, and I’m guilty for that. But wearing the hijab reminds me to be sincere and be myself.”

Dorgham said that the hi-jab doesn’t define her, but she rather defines herself and her hijabi lifestyle.

“I worked it to that the hijab being a part of me,” Dorgham said between mediating the panel. “If someone wears a scarf, it doesn’t mean that they are better than those who don’t.”

Iqra Chhotani, a senior in bi-ological sciences, is of Pakistani descent and sat on the discus-sion panel as the non-Hijabi. Although she recounted per-sonal conflict and self-debate about her role as a Muslim, she said she will eventually wear the scarf.

“I don’t feel that I’m ready,” Chhotani said. “Coming to col-lege, and despite being a senior, I don’t know everything about

who I am or who I want to be. I’m taking the steps to being a better person and Muslim. When I feel like I can look at myself in the mirror and say, ‘Wow, I can carry the name of being a Muslim,’ and be proud about it more than I already am, that’s when I can wear it.”

The conversation of the sig-nificance of the hijab continued for nearly two hours. The end the discussion was opened to broader questions not just re-garding the hijab but Muslim practices and culture as well. The non-Muslim women who chose to take part in the social experiment recounted their experiences and Watkins said her view of the hijab and Islam changed.

“I think that many people get bogged down on one side of the argument,” Watkins said. “It’s a very beautiful expression of faith and I have learned lessons that I can apply to my Christian

Students unveil the meaning of the Muslim hijab

EMILY WHITE/TECHNICIANKate Watkins, freshman in international studies, particiapted in the Behind the Veil portion of Islamic Awareness Week at Riddick Hall, Wednesday. A member of Campus Crusade for Christ, Watkins at one point said, “You guys are doing a great job”. She and other female non-Muslim volunteers wore the veil -known as the hijab- during the duration of the day to better understand the freedoms along with the constraints of the Muslim attire and how it’s associated with it’s religion.

EMILY WHITE/TECHNICIANA group of Muslim students listened to head speaker Doaa Dorgham as she discussed women of Islam religion and their struggles and triumphs surrounding hijab at Riddick Hall on Wednesday.

Diversity fashion show to display culture and style on CentennialAdministrative-initiated and student-led effort seeks to unify students through cultural events.

Zachary DiezelScience & Tech Editor

There are few events where one can see southeast Indian dancing, kimonos and a mod-eling troupe all on one stage. Friday’s Diversity Week Tal-ent/Fashion Show will be such a place. The show will be one of the final events of the Uni-versity’s first annual Diversity Week.

“We have EKTAA, which means ‘unity’ in Hindi,” Hema Patel, a sophomore in political science and student govern-ment diversity commission vice president, said. “It’s a south Asian organization here on campus. They will be repre-sented in the fashion show. We

have the Japan club showing off their kimonos.”

Among those in the talent show are the black finesse modeling troupe, a Pakistani student association dancing group, Lambda Beta Psi Incor-porated fraternity and a mem-ber Native American Student Association will perform an elaborate dance, according to Patel.

Patel said the goal is to estab-lish a new tradition on campus.

“I feel like diversity should be a tradition here at N.C. State,” Patel said. “If we have RecFest as tradition here, or Agricul-ture Awareness week, why not Diversity Week as well?”

According to Patel, the idea for a diversity week originated with the Office of Diversity and Inclusion.

“At the end of last year…Dr. Robinson approached Kelly Hook to have a diversity week on our campus,” Patel said.

“Kelly Hook had a lot on her plate already, so she went to the [diversity] commission.”

After the concept arrived at the door of Student Gov-ernment, Jermey Cooper, the chair of Student Government’s diversity committee took a leadership role, according to Patel.

Patel said Diversity Week is not in response to one specific event, but rather a “culmina-tion of things.”

“There have been a lot of instances here on campus where some groups have been negatively targeted,” Patel said, “That shouldn’t happen here, especially since we’re college students. We should be more inclusive. That is when we feel strongly about this. We didn’t want Diversity Week to just go away…. we went ahead with the programs, and we wanted

Students celebrate fashion while adopting green practices in their creativity and style.

Brooke ShafranekStaff Writer

Sporting used thrift-store cloth-ing, models displayed a side of style that’s often neglected—sustain-ability. This new trend in fashion has grown recently due to rising awareness of the environment. On Wednesday, N.C. State students demonstrated both their creativity and “green” conscious in the Reus-able Runway fashion show.

Reusable Runway gave fashion contestants the chance to become designers with styles that were smart about going green, showcasing thrift store clothing and how they can be made new again.

The Tuesday night before the fash-ion show, the designers gathered to create their outfits that would be modeled on a catwalk the fol-lowing evening. T h e m o d e l s were there to help the design-ers and all the clothing used was purchased from the Good-will thrift store in downtown Raleigh, with funding pro-v ided by the Inter-Residence Council. Many council members, as well as non-members volunteered for the pro-gram. The goal of Reusable Run-way was to put a sustainable spin on style.

The competition kicked off on Wednesday in Riddick Hall with a ten-minute video of the previous night’s designing activities. After the video, the runway became the center of attention as the models strutted their stuff and showed off the de-signers’ styles.

The three designing contestants were Jasmine Rhodes, Morgan Wolf and Thea Long. Jasmine Rhodes was declared the winner of the com-petition by a panel of judges com-prised of John Cornett, Megan Lee, Mathew Peterson and Saul Flores.

This was the first competition that Rhodes, a junior in fashion and tex-tiles management, had participated in.

“I was so excited for the chance to compete with the other awesome designers,” Rhodes said. “This will help me for contests to come in the future.”

The outfits were critiqued on their creativity and sustainability by the judges. However, the vote on the best ones was left to the audience members.

The two models that walked for Rhodes were Raven Hawks and Christina Bellville.

The outfits created by the design-ers were later raffled off to audience members.

Reusable Runway was styled af-ter the hit television series Project Runway. Sophomore in meteorol-ogy John Cornett played the “Tim Gunn,” of the program, emulating the fashion celebrity of Project Run-way.

“I was really impressed with the designers,” Cornett said. “I was blown away by how fast and inno-vative the designers were. They took

old, ratty clothes that looked like crap and turned them into some-thing modern and stylish.”

Mathew Pe-terson, a senior in biolog ica l sc iences a nd the Sustainabil-ity Committee Chair in IRC, was deemed the “sustainability expert” judge.

“S i nc e t he clothes were bought from Good-will,” Peterson said, “it makes the event very local. There’s no ship-ping cost—no gas for shipping—so there’s a huge fossil fuel saver.”

Peterson said the event promoted being reusable by going to thrift stores instead of a company that produced a new product.

Jeffrey Florence, a sophomore in psychology, was one of many attend-ees of Reusable Runway.

“I heard about it through IRC,” said Florence. “And I was very en-tertained by the designers and the models. I was very impressed by the designers. I know I can’t do some-thing like that. I really enjoyed it.”

Kendre Davis, a sophomore in psychology and the Vice President of Programming for IRC, said the event was a success.

“The models were inexperienced and a little hesitant to get out [on the

runway], but they did an awesome job and the designers were great and made awesome outfits.”

According to Davis, the focus of the event was “showing residents how reusing is one of the best ways to be sustainable and this is a really easy change, and how a little hunt-ing and piecing together can make an inexpensive, sustainable and fashion forward wardrobe.”

There are plans for Reusable Run-way to return in future semesters so students can see how easy it is to look good and go green.

Fashion goes green on runway

Spotted in the Brickyard

PHOTO & STORY BY MEGAN FARRELL

Technician’s weekly “Spotted in the Brickyard” highlights a fashionable student found in the Brickyard. From eclectic and

vintage to classic and chic, Technician will be sure to bring you fresh looks every week.

Ashleigh Griffin, a freshman in psychology, wore a great outfit for balmy weather, consisting of a white Billabong dress (PacSun, $5), sandals (PacSun, $5) and earrings from Francesca’s ($3). Some of Griffin’s favorite stores are Gap and PacSun. “My style tends to be girly-casual,” Griffin said. “I’m also really inspired by Marilyn Monroe and 1950s fashion!”Griffin’s favorite pieces for the spring are sundresses.

Javada Hunter, a freshman in communications, donned black leggings ($10) with layered black and white tank tops ($5 each) and a belt ($15), all from Target. She sported a Gap denim jacket ($40), black flats (Target, $15), and a headband with a sequined black bow (Wet Seal, $7). Her look was finished off with rhinestone-covered sunglasses, purchased at Wet Seal for $7. Hunter’s favorite stores include Charlotte Russe, Forever 21 and Wet Seal.

SANDRA EDWARDS/TECHNICIANMorgan Wolf, a sophomore in fashion and textile management, adjusted her model’s collar as he prepared to represent Wolf’s designs on the runway Wednesday evening. “The hardest part is not being able to use a sewing machine [and] the easiest part is thinking of the outfit,” Wolf said.

them to happen this year.”The creators of Diversity

Week said they aimed to pub-licize the variety of ethnic and cultural clubs that exist on campus and to raise awareness about the programs they offer.

“We just want to combine all the groups together because there has never been a unity of N.C. State campus,” Patel said. “That is all our main goal is. No one really knew that we have a Japan club, a Chinese under-grad student association, Ca-ribbean student association.”

Diversity Week consists of several events from Monday through Saturday, ranging from movies to seminars on a wide range of topics, from op-pression to the lack of water in other countries. According to Patel, these events counted to-wards FYC forum credit.

“We talked with an FYC di-rector and we asked her, to get the word out, if we could make it a forum event,” Patel said. “They need diversity points as well, so if [FYC students] came out to events, they would get points.”

Despite the publicity across campus and via Facebook, attendance has been low to some events, according to Alexis Gajadhar, a sophomore in animal science and student government diversity commit-tee secretary.

“We had about 220 people confirmed on Facebook, but we had an event yesterday [Tues-day] and no one showed up,” Gajadhar said. “We’re learning from this.”

Despite the disappointments of low turnout to some events, University officials are still pleased with the efforts of the students involved.

“It’s a student lead initiative,” said Jo-Ann Robinson, assis-tant vice provost for student diversity. “We’re very excited to see their desire to create an inclusive and diversity campus community.”

Joanne Woodard, vice pro-vost for equal opportunity & equity, praised the students for their efforts.

“Many individuals have worked together to Diversity Week happen, and we are look-ing forward to the program ex-panding,” Woodard said.

After all is said and not very much is done, the bottom line is this: If the sources at Arizona are cor-rect and Miller has no inter-est in taking the job, it may inadvertently end up being a better situation for a mid-major candidate to step in.

Not only would they be cheaper, but the expecta-tion level would not be in the stratosphere like it could be if Miller ended up being Raleigh-bound.

“In my past few tourna-ments of the season I have had a lot in my head and kind of not allowed me to play so well,” Marchand said. “So in this tournament I am trying to just play my own game, play the way I know I can play and just play the way I used to play in-

stead of allowing my emotions and my head get in the way.”

With Baker as the lone up-perclassman, the golf team is still extremely young and im-proving day by day, which is all that Marsh can ask for.

“What is happening is when you have a young squad that is getting a lot of experience, they become seasoned ear-lier and that is exciting for the longevity of this team,” Marsh said. “They are where they are in their game and they just keep improving and moving.”

sources of offense besides the long ball.

“[There’s] no reason for this offense to not be scor-ing more runs than we’re scoring,” Avent said. “We have a little bit of speed, we have good athletes, and we play hard. We just have to come out and relax, know we can play well, keep plug-ging and we’ll get better.”

Junior right-hander Cory Mazzoni will take the bump for the Pack on Friday en-tering with a 1-2 record and a 3.31 ERA. Mazzoni has been State’s most con-sistent starting pitcher, but has been the victim of a few crooked innings that have cost him. Avent is uncertain of who will pitch Saturday and Sunday, but right-handed sophomore Danny Healey (1-2, 6.49 ERA) will start one of those games. Freshman lefty D.J. Thomas (0-1, 4.85 ERA) is expected to get his first start of the season as the Wolfpack hopes someone will step up as the third weekend starter.

“We know Clemson, they’re a good ball club,” Avent said. “But hey, we’re playing at home, we love playing at home and it should be a fun weekend.”

of atmosphere that you want to be in in order to be motivated to do well.”

A total of 57 men’s teams and 61 women’s teams will compete in the Raleigh Re-lays with familiar confer-ence foes like Florida State and North Carolina, also scheduled to participate.

Sophomore Ben Major, who will compete in the 100 and 200 meter dashes along with the 4x100 and 4x200 relays, said he is excited for the relay events because the team is strong in that area.

“The east region is one of the hardest regions in track and field. You can ask anyone in the country and they will tell you that,” Ma-jor said. “I’m pretty excited about relays because across the team, our relays have been pretty strong this year coming off a great indoor season, so hopefully we can take that momentum and carry it to outdoor.”

Major’s goal for the week-end is to run the 200 meter sprint under 20.8 seconds, which would better his time at the 49ers Classic meet by .55 seconds. Before coming to N.C. State however, Ma-jor was a 400 meter hurdler. But Reese thought he was in the wrong place and moved him to sprints.

“He’s quite capable of be-

ing a competitive 400 hurdler, but at the same time he is a great sprinter,” Reese said. “I train him differently because my other hurdlers are more of endurance, but Ben is more of speed.”

Two-sport athlete T.J. Gra-ham is not expected to run in this meet due to spring foot-ball practice commencing last week. Despite a busy schedule, Graham makes it to as many practices and meets as he can while fulfilling his football ob-ligations.

Last year’s Raleigh Relays were marred by rainy condi-tions and this year could possi-bly lead to the same. According to The Weather Channel, the event should see partly cloudy skies with a chance of rain both days.

Major hopes the weather will hold off until later but does not mind if there is a slight rain or drizzle because it will not stop him from running.

“Mid 60’s is nice because once you get running, that’s still pretty good temperatures to run in,” Major said. “But if it rains, it rains, and if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. Hopefully we have good weather conditions, but no matter what, I’m still go-ing to try and accomplish my goals.”

The women’s golf team will travel down to Greens-boro this weekend to play in its first local tournament of the spring season as it tees it up for the Bryan Nation-al Collegiate at the Par-72 Bryan’s Park Champions Course.

The 17-team field offers a wide variety of talent, while providing the Pack with an opportunity to compete against many of the ACC schools right before the ACC Tournament begins April 14th. North Carolina, Duke, Wake Forest, Florida State and Virginia will all be playing in the tournament, giving State a great oppor-tunity to see how it stacks up against the rest of the ACC.

“This tournament is go-ing to be a really good test for us,” senior Brooke Baker said. “We are going to see a lot of really good teams; there will be a lot of top-ranked teams there.”

During the spring season, the team has struggled a bit with consistency, finishing tied for seventeenth, tied for sixth and ninth in the three tournaments it has played so far this season. However, the Pack has begun to turn

it on lately, firing a 7-over 295 in the final round of the LSU Invitational, help-ing the team finish ahead of seven nationally ranked teams.

“The last four rounds we have played, the team has done so well and they have had many of their own personal best scores,” coach Page Marsh said. “So having your personal best means a lot of times, your team has its personal best.”

And many of the players believe that the finish at the LSU Invitational helped provide the team with a much-needed confidence boost and hopefully the team will be able to ride the wave of momentum into this weekend’s tournament.

“It was a great confidence booster for me personally and for our team as well,” Baker said. “It helped us get out of a little rut and gave us some confidence going into this tournament.”

However, not every player seems to be as confident as Baker. After winning a tournament during the fall season and averaging a team-best score of 75.3 per round, freshman Britta-ny Marchand has struggled to find her stroke during the spring season. In the three tournaments so far, March-and is averaging a score of 79.7 per round, including a 35-over during the last tournament. Marchand is

Baseball team looks to recover after 1-5 start in conference play.

Jeff FonzaStaff Writer

The N.C. State base-ball team returns to Doak Field at Dail Park for its first home ACC series this weekend as it hosts the No. 15 Clemson Tigers (12-7, 3-3 ACC) beginning Friday in a three-game series.

The Wolfpack (12-10, 1-5 ACC) will look to bounce back in conference play af-ter starting 1-5, losing two of three games to Duke and dropping all three games last weekend to No. 17 Georgia Tech. It won’t be easy in a conference as tough as the ACC, but the Pack intends to climb out of an early hole and real-izes the importance of this series as the team looks to make the ACC and NCAA tournaments.

“Once you get into ACC play, every weekend is big” junior infielder Andrew Ciencin said. “I think every-one knows what it takes to be good in this league now with two weekends under our belt. Taking two or three from Clemson would be huge.”

Clemson has established itself as one of the most consistent college baseball programs in the country. The Tigers are coming off a 2010 season where they reached the College World Series and come into the weekend with a five-game winning streak after win-ning two games in a mid-

week series against Elon and sweeping Duke last weekend at home.

The Tigers are averaging over eight runs a game and batting .335 as a team led by Spencer Kieboom’s .455 batting average and 15 RBI’s. The Pack will also have to look out for Phil Pohl who is hitting .426 with a pair of home runs and 14 RBI’s, as well as Chris Epps, who leads the team in home runs (four) and stolen bases (six). Will Lamb will also look to extend his current 11-game hitting streak against the Pack.

Clemson will send right-hander Scott Weismann to the mound today where he will look to pick up his third win of the season. He is currently 2-2 with a 5.84 ERA in five starts. The Tigers have yet to determine a pitcher for Satur-day’s matchup, but righty Scott Firth will make his second start of the season in the series finale on Sunday. He boasts a 1-0 re-cord with a 2.93 ERA and has also made four relief appear-ances this season.

State is coming off two wins over Northwestern this past week and continues to search for the right balance and mix of players as it heads into the bulk of the ACC season. The Pack has pitched well for the most part, but coach Elliott Avent and his staff are still waiting for someone to emerge as the team’s third weekend starter. The Wolfpack has also shown glimpses of batting capability, but has been unable to put it all together up to now.

“Are we doing everything right? Heck no. Are we still fighting the game a little bit and fighting ourselves? Yea,” Avent said. “But are they hanging in there; are they giving every-

thing they’ve got? You better believe it.”

With the exception of sopho-more infielder Chris Diaz who is hitting a team-high .368 and Pratt Maynard who is batting .341 and leading the team with 15 RBI’s, the rest of the offense has been mostly quiet. State is averaging 5.2 runs per game and hitting .282 as a team, a significant drop-off from last season’s nationally ranked of-fense.

The power numbers have also gone down as the Pack has only hit eight home runs through its first 20 games compared to 30 at this point last season. Some of it may be in part to new NCAA regulated bats that are designed to hit more like wooden bats, but regard-less of the reason, the team will have to look for other

State just needs a winner

The search for N.C. State’s 19th head basketball coach has been laced

with irony since day one. After spending nearly a

week and a half staring down a short list of high-profile candidates, many mem-bers of Wolf-pack Nation are convinced that the road leading back to nat iona l prominence should only

be paved in “It’s Miller Time” t-shirts and a 2-3 million dol-lar salary, which would be the highest paying gig in the ACC.

And what’s even more un-familiar than State possibly being the highest paying job in the triangle? The opinion that Arizona head coach Sean Miller is not what State needs regardless of whether he wants to come to Raleigh.

While it would be difficult to pass over a young, proven coach with a great deal of up-side, it seems as though interest among fans in taking the same approach as the Wildcats did in 2009 when they hired Miller, is very minimal.

The reason State is interest-ed in Miller in the first place is that he successfully transi-tioned from a school in a mid-major conference to big-time basketball program. In fact, he’s not the only name on the media-manufactured short list that did exactly the same thing. While Miller came over from Xavier, Mike Brey came from Delaware, Mark Turgeon came from Wichita State, and Mark Fox came from Nevada.

If these are some of the best names that are potentially available to Athletics Direc-tor Debbie Yow in the coming weeks, it should be duly not-ed that each of these coaches didn’t just swap ladders to get to their respective positions—they climbed it.

As March Madness con-tinues, it’s also important to note that currently success-ful programs didn’t pry away their coach from another “BCS Conference” school.

Out of the teams that made it to the sweet sixteen in this year’s NCAA Tournament, nine coaches were hired from mid-major programs and two coaches got their jobs because they were previously assistants at their respective schools. Among the universities not in this category are UNC and Kansas.

N.C. State is not UNC or Kansas.

While luring Brad Stevens away from Butler will be dif-ficult considering he’s under contract for another decade, he’s not the only mid-major candidate available. VCU’s Shaka Smart, Belmont’s Rick Byrd, Wichita State’s Gregg Marshall, and Xavier’s Chris Mack have all established themselves as viable candi-dates.

That being said, there are certainly no candidates taylor-made for the State job. A large reason why is that it’s difficult to compare the situation at N.C. State with any other in-stitution.

One comparison can be made to Cincinnati when they went looking for a coach in 2006. Like State, Cincy headed into the search with tradition (two national titles), relatively new facilities (state-of-the-art ath-letic complex built in February of 2006), the lure of playing in a major basketball conference (the Big East), and the ever present issue of being over-shadowed by more successful

Sporting News ranks 1974 Wolfpack No. 7 all-timeN.C. State’s 1974 championship team was ranked the seventh-best all-time by Sporting News, which used a panel consisting of former players, coaches and various basketball contributors. Led by the legendary David Thompson, the Wolfpack ended UCLA’s streak of seven straight NCAA championships by beating the Bruins in the Final Four in a double-overtime thriller, 80-77, before defeating Marquette in the finals. Thompson, who averaged 26 points and 7.9 rebounds that season, highlighted a dynamic trio that included 5’7” point guard Monte Towe and 7’4” center Tommy Burleson. Just to get into the NCAA tournament, the Pack had to get past a strong Maryland team, led by ACC greats Len Elmore and John Lucas, in the conference tournament final.

Lassiter was also named to the ACC’s All-Freshman team following his rookie campaign and named second team All-ACC as a sophomore.

Rebecca FiorentinoStaff Writer

Each year, thousands of athletes, coaches and fans gather at Paul Derr Track for one of the largest track and field meets in the South-east—the Raleigh Relays.

In the Wolfpack’s only home meet of the season, the Raleigh Relays allows the men’s and women’s track and field teams to showcase their skills against some of the stiffest competition in the nation.

It also gives Pack athletes the chance to compete in

front of family and friends.For freshmen sprinter Kerrie

Davis, who will participate in her first Raleigh Relays com-petition this weekend, the thought of performing in front of friends and family is both nerve-wracking and exciting at the same time.

“We’re at home, so it’s a lit-tle bit different atmosphere,” Davis said. “We’re hoping to have a lot of people support-ing us which will lead us to faster times and much more improvement.”

Assistant coach Terry Reese expects to see around 2,000 or more athletes competing in this meet, which will be blan-keted with fierce competition.
