Raleigh, North Carolina

Texas Congressman Ron Paul will be speaking at the McKimmon Center tonight.

Brooke WalligNews Editor

As a result of a petition endorsed by the N.C. State’s chapter of Young Americans for Liberty, TX Congressman Ron Paul will speak tonight at 7 p.m. at the McKimmon Center.

According to Rob Bryan, a senior in po-litical science and founder of N.C. State’s chapter of Young Amer-i c a n s f o r Liberty, over 2 ,0 0 0 s t u-dents signed a petition to bring Paul to N.C. State, and at least 1,000 are expected to be in attendance.

“Not only were we blown away, but our national organization was blown away as well. We realized that the students of NC State were interested in bringing Congress-man Paul to campus,” Bryan said. “Normally it takes two to three months to gather the same amount

of signatures.”Brady Nemeth, junior in interna-

tional studies and current leader of Young Americans for Liberty, said this event will bring together students and organizations from all across North Carolina.

“We have other Young Americans for Liberty chapters from ECU, Ap-palachian State, Wake Forest, and even an upstart group in Campbell making the trek to Raleigh,” Nemeth said. “There are people driving from

all parts of the state to see Ron Paul speak, as is typical of his enthusiastic sup-porters.”

According to Bryan, the rea-son these groups are so interested in hearing Paul speak is because his ideas are of-ten radically dif-ferent than other

political officials.“When someone comes along who

swims upstream, people start to pay attention. Dr. Paul definitely swims upstream,” Bryan said. “Out of 435 members of the House, Dr. Paul stands out.”

And Bryan said it is Paul’s uncon-ventional ideas that make students stop and listen—even if they don’t

agree with what they hear.“Dr. Paul often interests students

with his principled and consistent positions on the issues,” Bryan said. “Some students start listening because he talks about things such as the de-criminalization of some drugs, or his opposition of foreign intervention.”

Bryan said not only is Paul expected to discuss the future of American lib-erty, he is also set to talk about the Federal Reserve and the intervention in Libya.

According to John Starbuck, assis-tant director for marketing for N.C. State’s bookstore, following his pre-sentation Paul will participate in a book signing, as his books End the Fed and The Revolution: A Manifesto will be available for purchase at the event.

While Bryan acknowledged there are issues that divide people along party lines, our national debt is an issue the country needs to fight to-

Chandler Thompsonsenior, economics

I think I am most qualified because of my passion for N.C. State that will keep me dedicated during my tenure. I have Student Government experience, but also experience across many areas of campus life. I have tangible solutions to improve the student experience and back up my platform ideas.

Leo Verceles-Zarajunior, biochemistry

I am qualified for this position because the duty of the Student Body President is to be the voice for the students. I have had a lot of personal experiences with many different students at this university, across different majors and colleges, and I believe that it is time for the opinions of the students to be heard and executed upon by the administration.

Alex Grindstaffjunior, biological sciences

I have a general concern about students and the need to accurately represent them. After working with Student Government for almost two years now, on the executive and legislative branch, I have seen what it has done and what it hasn’t done for the students. I believe there can be large improvements in how Student Government operates, and have students more involved so we get proper feedback.

Maxwell Kangkolojunior, finance and economics

I care about N.C. State University. I have been involved in various groups on campus. I interned in the office of finance and business here at State, which gave me a great opportunity to see how things worked within the university. I’ve held other leadership positions in other clubs and organizations. Experience and involvement make me a qualified candidate for student body president.

Ethan Bartlettjunior, management

Did not respond by deadline. See online for response.

Why do you think you are most qualified?

Alex Comptonjunior, biological sciences

I believe I am most qualified because I have been involved with a number of groups/organizations during my time on campus, which has given me insight into student needs. I will continue to stay in touch with students’ issues.

Four students were awarded the Mathews Medal for outstanding service to the school.

Elise HelgarStaff Writer

The Mathews Medal has been given out to students since 2006 and twenty-one students have received the award since.

The Mathews Medal is always given to graduating seniors who have displayed a legacy of service at the University by the Alumni Association. The selection process is extremely intensive and it is considered to be the highest non-academic honor at the University.

Justin Boucher, Kristy Craig, Jeffrey Johnson and Mary-cobb Randall were the stu-dents honored at this year’s ceremony.

“These students have defined leadership at N.C. State for their generation,” Tony Cara-vano, a former University stu-dent body president, said.

Chancellor Randy Wood-sen made an appearance at the event. He spoke about the stu-dents who were receiving the award and why service to the University is so important.

“Students gain so much through the experiences they have on campus,” Wood-sen said.

Justin Boucher Justin Boucher is a senior

in environmental engineer-ing and a University Scholar. He has served as president of the GLBT Community Alliance and worked as a DJ at the Uni-versity radio station, WKNC. Boucher also worked as a site coordinator with the Univer-sity Scholars Program language exchange.

“Service at the University makes the time here more meaningful. You see the benef it s of everything you do as a student. This kind of work with students ke e ps ne w ideas f low-ing,” Boucher said.

Kristy Craig Kristy

Craig is a senior in political science who has served as a student senator, president of the 2011 senior class, director of the Athletics Commission and a representative to the U.S. Department of State. Craig has represented the University as a liaison for Service N.C. State. She is also an Arch Regent for the Golden Chain Society. Craig said that service is im-portant for students because it

enables them to have more of a say in University issues.

“Without the students giving back, we rely solely on admin-istrators to make changes for us. It’s important for students to remember that you get back what you put in,” Craig said.

Jeffrey Johnson Jeffrey Johnson is a senior in

business administration. He has worked with Student Gov-ernment, athletics, and Univer-sity Advancement. Johnson is

responsible for the de-velopment of the Coach-es’ Cor ner Kay Yow Me-moria l . He said that the completion of the memorial was one of his best memo-ries from his time at the University.

“N.C. State has given me more than I could have ever dreamed. To know that we had succeeded in memorializing someone who epitomized the University really stands out as a memory to me,” Johnson said.

Marycobb Randall Marycobb Randall is a senior

in business administration. She has been working since her freshmen year on the planning

for the Talley Student Center renovations and expansion. Randall has served as presi-dent of the University Student Center’s Board of Directors. She also started the Wolf-Wheels bike rental program at the University and is a member of the N.C. State Strategic Plan-ning Committee.

“This is an overwhelming honor. I am really grateful for the opportunity to serve the University during my time at N.C. State,” Randall said..

gether.“With over $14 trillion in na-

tional debt, this is not a left or right issue,” Bryan said. “Get-ting people engaged in politics so that they start considering present issues is my goal with bringing Congressman Ron

Paul to campus.” However, Bryan said this

event is not meant to simply thrust Paul’s ideals onto the student body, but rather to show students that such politi-cal discussion is both accept-able and necessary.

“I believe the greatest ben-efit to the campus community is the opportunity this event

presents for opening a political dialog. I know that not every-one who attends this event will agree with Dr. Paul, or even like what he has to say,” Bryan said. “They will however, feel the need to express their own opinions. This is the spark that our generation needs to openly address issues that loom in our future.”

PAULcontinued from page 1

UAB PRESIDENT

STUDENT SENATE PRESIDENT

1) I am the only candidate that has served both as a UAB chairperson as well as had experience on the UAB executive board. Further, I believe my track record of successful programming within the UAB proves that I will continue to meet the needs of students while expanding UAB’s impact.

2) If elected President, I will enhance UAB in three areas. First, I will seek to build and maintain strong partnerships with other organizations. If we work together with partners like Student Government to enhance traditions, such as Campout. Second, I will be innovative with budget practices. We generate over $400,000.00 in revenue mostly from student fees; I think it is important to have a president that is constantly thinking about the bigger vision and who strives toward increasing the organizational impact while being fiscally responsible. Finally, I believe strong recruitment of the executive and chair positions is essential.

3) I think it would be awesome to have an annual flash mob on campus.

4) Introduction to Forensic Anthropology with Dr. Ross.

1) I am qualified because I have been in Student Government advocating for students every year I’ve been here. I am the Student Senate President Pro Tempore more commonly known as the

Vice President of the Senate. As VP, I’ve gotten practice at leading the senate, the primary job of the Student Senate President. This year, I was fortunate enough to be the chair of the Appropriations Committee where I heard requests from over 300 groups, so I’ve gotten insight on a lot of issues and learned a lot about what students are doing.

2) My platform focuses on uniting the student body. One of the functions of Student Government is helping fund student initiatives on campus. I also want to start a late night meal option and use Moodle to give students direct access to student leaders. Finally, I want to make senate meetings open to students by having them in a public place. Finally, as the Co-chair of the fees committee, I will keep fees as low as possible and hold departments accountable to the fees they request.

3) I would want to start a new event on campus to feature student music groups, dance groups, etc.

4) COM 466 Nonprofit Leadership and Development with Mindy Sopher.

1) I am most qualified to be the UAB President because I have been apart of the UAB for the past three years in addition to holding other leadership positions at N.C. State. Through these positions, I have learned how and when to be a follower, how to manage time, delegate tasks, build a trust between my subordinates, how to work on a team, how to communicate well with others, as well as how to plan ahead.

2) As President of the Union Activities Board, I hope to continue bringing quality programs to the students of N.C. State. I also hope to bring awareness of all UAB committees through creative advertising methods. I would also like to reach out for more corporate sponsorships so that we can have even bigger programs.

3) If I could start a tradition at State, it would be a bi-annual exam rave on the brickyard. (With plenty of security of course).

4) My favorite class at N.C. State has been CSC 116 - Introduction to Java.

1) The Senate President needs to be able to unite the Senate so that they may be an effective voice for the students. The Senate President must also be able to work with the Student Body

President in order to promote the effectiveness of Student Government. They also need to know how to handle serving on the University Tuition Committee and University Fee Committee. As the current Chair of the Senate’s Tuition and Fees Committee, I am already well prepared to take on those roles and be an effective conduit of the will of the students.

2) More open communication between the Senate and the Student Body. More communication between the University Administration/Deans and the Student Body.Better representation of the Student Body and the University Tuition and University Fees Committees. 3) An annual walk down Hillsborogh to the General Assembly to let the state government know that we are a involved group in the local community and should be taken seriously

4) MEA 214 (Fundamentals of Meteorology II) with Dr. Lackmann or ENG 208 (Intro to Shakespeare) with Dr. Shaw

1) I believe I am most qualified for this position based on my experience on the Student Conduct Board, my passion for our university’s high ideals, and the confidence I have in the standards to which we hold our students through the Code of Student Conduct.

2) As Student Chief Justice, I would like to help educate the student body about the Board’s process and the expectations the university has for its students.

3) If I could start a tradition at State, it would be to pack out the student section at our home baseball games.

4) REL413: The Life and Letters of the Apostle Paul, taught by Dr. William Adler.

1) Senator for two years, served on Fee Review Community, Served on Appropriations Committee for two years, served on Tuition and Fees Committee, Chair Senate Academics

Committee

2) The job of the Student Senate President isn’t to advance any particular policy perspective. It is the Senate President who functions as a resource for the other 64 elected senators and guides them. The Senate President must be an individual that is well respected by their colleagues to ensure they can unite the body and accomplish the will of the student body.

3) While we have a long history of traditions, I believe the most important tradition for any college to have and/or improve upon is to continuously increase its graduation rates and job placement. If we can consistently have our graduates placed into more prestigious and better paying jobs, especially given the current economic climate, all NC State alum and current students would benefit. 4) Bowling.

VOTER’S GUIDEcontinued from page 1

Alex Compton

2) I want to bridge the gap between Main and Centennial Campus, create a centralized calendar for campus events, help student groups to publicize better and continue sustainability projects.

3) I would like to see a centralized place of celebration where students can go and hangout after a win to build community.

4) BIO 181 with Dr. Ferzli.

Chandler Thompson

2) The top five things on my platform include longer tailgating hours, a 4th meal on campus, a central calendar, improved advising, and a sustainability culture change. There is more on my website vote4chandler.com.

3) This is one of my passions, I have dedicated my first 3 years to promoting traditions on campus, if I could create just one new tradition it would be a “flash rave” every semester to give students a chance to relieve stress and come together as one Wolfpack and have fun!

4) Intro to Film ENG 282Q. I think Q courses are important to the freshman experience and I really enjoyed this one. We were in small groups, and while my group put together a video I became close friends with all the members.

Alex Grindstaff

2) My main reason for running is that Student Government needs to have a more effective role in working with the Board of Trustees and the Board of Governors. They need to know what students want, and the students need to know what they’re up to. As the largest land grant university, there are over 34,000 people here that each have a voice, and I think it is imperative that they be properly represented. The General Assembly needs to know what students want, and Student Government must be that conductor. Whoever gets elected needs to address this void, and actually be the voice of N.C. State.

3) I think it would be interesting to have something like the Olympic games, on a much smaller scale between the colleges and campuses, for a daylong event. We could raise money as well.

4) My favorite class was D100 with the Dean of the College of Design, Marvin Malecha. Everything he said had emphasis and meaning behind it, and it opened my eyes as a biological science and major.

Leo Verceles-Zara

2) SWAG: Service, Wolfpack, Awareness, Green/Sustainability (This can be followed up more in-depth at leoforsbp.com).

3) A tradition that I could start might be an annual WESAcat (organized by WESA). It was something that started this year, but it was pretty successful. It’s an informal bike race, like a scavenger hunt.

4) My favorite class has got to be a tie between PSY311 with Dr. Nacoste and MA131 with Dr. Martin.

Maxwell Kangkolo2) My platforms are broken down into Pack Priorities. They are making red green, campus wide calendar, more campus wide events, fixing our transit system, and expanding our wolfpack discount program.

3) The tradition I’d like to start is the Running of the Red day which means every Friday before football games students should be dressed in nothing but NC State gear. This is a great way to promote school spirit and show support to the athletics program.

4) My favorite class is business ethics with Dr. Washington.

QUESTIONS ASKED OF CANDIDATES:1) Why do you think you are most qualified?2) Briefly describe your main platform.3) If you could start a tradition at N.C. State, what would it be?4) What is your favorite class you’ve taken at N.C. State?

{ }Our view

In Friday’s edition of Loyola University’s newspaper, The Maroon, the editorial topic

reads “Fighting over mascot name unnecessary.” While the editorial seems to have accurate points, the truth of the matter is this action is necessary to prevent any future complica-tions between our two schools. Trademark rights are meant to protect the name and symbol of any institution. Loyola and N.C. State should come to an agreement to clarify each oth-ers’ mascots and move past the issue to protect both schools. We are the Wolfpack and we’ll fight to keep it that way.

At N.C. State we have an en-tire department devoted to the preservation of the Wolf-pack name, and all the mer-chandising that comes with it. N.C. State received roughly

$186 million from its Sales and Services, including mer-chandising of the N.C. State Wolfpack, nearly 15 percent of the total revenue budget in the 2010-2011 school year. If other universities begin to use the Wolfpack name as their own without clarifying the distinction, it could result in a decrease of these sales, which is the last thing we need at this University.

While Loyola’s The Maroon discusses colleges that have en-counter this same issue, what it neglects to mention is N.C. State, as the trademark owner of “the Wolfpack,” is bound by federal law to report and take action on any other univer-

sity which uses their name. If not, N.C. State could lose their rights, thus losing the owner-ship of the Wolfpack and the merchandising that comes with it—a $186 million loss. Loyola, a small private institu-tion has no need for this type of revenue. The irony of a Je-suit school with a wolf named Havoc for their mascot seems to be a symbol they wouldn’t want associated with their school.

This is not the first time N.C. State has had to deal with du-plicate mascots. A year ago, the same letter was sent to the Uni-versity of Nevada’s athletics de-partment. The schools came to an agreement, because of the

nature Nevada used the mas-cot, and Nevada merely had to change their Wolfpack to the Nevada Wolfpack for clarifi-cation. The same result could come from this matter with Loyola and clear this up quick-ly. It shouldn’t be that hard.

The two schools are currently in discussion of the necessary actions to move forward with this issue. As long as Loyola uses the mascot in a non-mer-chandising way and merely for a promotional event for their school the can keep their be-loved Havoc the Wolf mas-cot. However, if they disagree, their Wolfpack could very well become extinct, because the Wolfpack of N.C. State is not afraid of going on the prowl.

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’re the Wolfpack, and we’ll keep it that wayThe FacTs:N.C. State has sent out a cease and desist letter to Loyola University on the further use of the Wolfpack as their mascot. N.C. State has trademark ownership of the term since 1983. Loyola’s newspaper, The Maroon, explained the action against their mascot wass unfair and unnecessary in their Friday editorial.

Our OpiniOn:Our trademark rights obligate us by law to report the use of “the Wolfpack” by any other University, no matter what the size. To preserve our trademark rights to “the Wolfpack,” these actions are called for, and the two schools should come to a mutual agreement, without further action.

SBP: Chandler Thompsonget to know your candidates:

Although some people re-fer to me as the Bojan-gles girl, I am Chandler

Thompson and I want to be your next Student Body Presi-

dent. March 29 is getting clos-er and closer, and I only have a few hours left to introduce myself to stu-dents. If you a re a rou nd the Brickyard, come by and

meet me and other members of my team in our tailgate during lunch hours.

Please make an informed decision when you are choos-ing your next Student Body President. We need someone that will represent the most important group of individu-als at N.C. State—the students. Students are what d r ive this campus and highlight what makes this Univer-sity so unique. We also need someone who is informed about Student Government and the role of Student Body President.

I’ve been a member of Stu-dent Government for three years and discussed this job at length with Kelly Hook, the current Student Body Presi-dent. I have the time and expe-rience necessary to represent all students that go to N.C. State.

My dad raised me to love N.C. State and care about this University’s sports teams, aca-demic success and student life. My passion for this University will keep me dedicated to serv-ing all year long. We need to promote what we do best and I will commit myself to high-lighting the strengths of N.C. State.

What differentiates me from the other five candidates is that I have done my research and produced detailed solutions and steps to back up my plat-form. With your support and help, we can bring the campus

community together as one unified Wolfpack. Traditions are a bridge and they will be used to connect our students to each other and this Univer-sity. I’m committed to working hard to improve the student experience, which involves pushing for longer tailgating hours and dining on campus from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. We also need improved advising and a sustainability culture change. We may be “the red and white from State,” but we are all green at heart.

Communication is going to be most important for this era of Student Government. I will use all avenues to communicate with the students while allow-ing the students the opportu-nity to communicate with me. This includes my Twitter, Face-book, blog posts on the Student Government website, monthly

surveys and the centra l calendar. This calen-dar will help every student organization to commu-nicate with all students. Check out my website and star t com-municating now through

various feedback options.A strong team is important to

me. I plan to have a cabinet that is diverse and accessible—and I am prepared to tackle every area of my platform. Lastly, I will advocate for students and student services during budget cut discussions. We need ser-vices, such as pre-law, to pre-pare our students for success after graduation. Vote Chan-dler for Student Body Presi-dent and let’s work together to improve the N.C. State experi-ence.

Chandler Thompson is a se-nior in economics and is cur-rently the Chair of the Student Government’s Commission of Traditions, and is running for Student Body President. Send Chandle your thoughts on the Student Body President to let-ters@technicianonline.com.

identity theft: even mascots aren’t safe

Christian O’Neil, sophomore in mechanical engineering

Wolfpack unite and take back the night

National data tells us that over five hun-dred N.C. State

women will experience a rape or attempted rape

each aca-demic year, a nd t hat one in four women will

be the survivor of a rape or attempted rape by the time they graduate from college. Additionally, national stud-ies tell us that one in seven men will be sexually abused in their lifetime. Therefore, every person on our cam-pus has a friend, classmate or suite-mate affected by sexual violence and yet the community is hardly aware of this situation.

Take Back the Night has been held at N.C. State for over 20 years and raises awareness for sexual as-sault on college campuses. This event is hosted by The Movement peer educators, a group of male and female students who are dedicated to ending interpersonal violence.

This year’s theme is “Wolfpack Unite, Take Back the Night”. At 5:45 p.m., Wednesday, impassioned students will march to Tal-ley from the West Campus Amphitheater, the Honors Village and Greek Court. Once the crowd gathers behind Talley, the rally of-

ficially begins at 6:30 p.m. and combines speeches from cam-pus leaders, survivors’ stories, campus and community re-sources, entertainment, a dis-play of t-shirts painted by sur-vivors and their loved one s a nd free food.

Sexual vi-olence is the result of a culture that promotes gender in-equality and the ex-pression of power and control. The only way to end sexual violence for good is to change this interper-sonal violence-tolerant culture into an IPV-intolerant culture. The first step is awareness.

Earlier this year, the “Wake Up, It’s Serious” campaign began after the most recent Free Expression Tunnel inci-dent. “Wake Up, It’s Serious” focuses on racial intolerance and is working to educate N.C. State’s community about the realities of the current culture. The Movement has been using Take Back the Night as part of their educational and aware-ness approach to ending the tolerance of sexual violence.

At LeaderShape last year, I was asked to write my vision for the change that I wished to make in the world. I wrote, Sexual assault is gone. Men

and women no longer wor-ry about their bodies being violated. A woman can walk down a street at night with-out looking over her shoul-der. She can go to the party

w i t h n o worry of ac-quaintance-rape. A man doesn’t have to be fright-ened of the possibility of his part-ner sexually assaulting him. Men and women

do not worry about their basic right of consent. They can say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ and peo-ple listen.

The road to my vision is not short or easy, but aware-ness events, like Take Back the Night will help guide our culture to the right pathway. We need the N.C. State community to pull to-gether, Take Back the Night, and show that N.C. State will not stand for sexual violence.

Forensic lab aids research

The forensic and anthropology labs, located in Park Shops, give students real-world experience.

Stephen BehanStaff Writer

A county cleanup crew found human remains in Rocky Mount in February of 2009. Months later, the remains were in the N.C. State forensic an-thropology lab in the process of being identified. Students, both graduate and undergraduate, helped in the investigation.

The body was identif ied as Elizabeth Smallwood, the sixth victim of the Edge-combe County serial killer. Because of the real world ex-perience for students, Popular Science magazine recognized the University’s forensic lab as one of the country’s “30 Most Awesome College Labs.”

The lab, located in Park Shops, was established in 2009 as part of the renovations of Park Shops. It and three other labs were missing components of the Sociology and Anthro-pology department.

Associate professor of an-thropology James Wallace III said the labs were very effective.

“The facilities came online a few years ago,” Wallace said. “We have one of the best pro-grams in the southeast.”

The department offers a Bachelor of Arts degree and Masters degree in anthropolo-gy, as well as a specialization in bio-archeology. Before the labs were built, associate professor Ann Ross said she needed to use other facilities.

“I was collaborating with the Office of State Archeology,” Ross said. “I used to have to go downtown to my colleague’s, Dr. Oliver’s, lab.”

Ross is an internationally re-nowned forensic anthropolo-gist. She has worked in Bosnia, aiding in the identification of genocide victims from the Bos-nian War. She has also helped to identify bodies of people killed during the reign of Au-gusto Pinochet in Chile and in Panama where she identified mass grave victims of Manuel Noriega.

As a professor, Ross thinks student research is important.

“I try to get [graduate stu-dents] to at least get out of here with a publication in a major

journal,” Ross said.However, it is not just gradu-

ate students that Ross involves in research.

“I’ve had a lot of under-graduates assist with certain projects,” Ross said. “We have a comparative non-human col-lection, so I sometimes have students come in and help with processing of the remains if they have tissue on them, to get the bones.”

The non-human collection is an ongoing study in coor-dination with the entomology department on bone decom-position using pigs. A facility near Lake Wheeler houses the experiments.

“We do studies on time since death, post mortem interval, using pigs as proxies, where we leave pigs out to decompose and we look at the degradation of bone,” Ross said.

Ross explained that pigs are a common animal used in place of humans for scientific research.

“They are substitutes for human research because they have been found to be pretty similar in tissue and in fat,” she said.

Ross specializes in finding the identity of skeletal remains.

“Forensic anthropology has a specialty in hard tissue or bone,” Ross said. “A medical examiner’s specialty is in soft tissue. So, when you have a body that’s very decomposed to where you can’t tell who they are anymore, they need the help of an anthropologist because they are not experts in bone.”

In determining identity, she looks at several key details.

“We look at age of death, how tall they were, what population they’re from, or what ancestry, whether they’re male or female. We also look at if there are any diseases that show up on the bone,” Ross said. “We also help the medical examiner with determination of trauma. For example, we can identify a gunshot wound.”

Shows like CSI may be enter-taining, but they are not reality, according to Ross.

“They are all Hollywood,” Ross said. “In CSI they have the entomologist that can do bone, that can solve the case in five minutes, when really it takes weeks — and it’s not glamorous.”

Delta Gamma philanthropy event makes a splashAnchor Splash raises money for Service for Sight and the Moorehead School for the Blind.

Sean LuseStaff Writer

Summer has not arrived yet, but one sorority is bringing fun in the sun in-doors in the form of pool relay races, belly-flop contest, a bikini contest and more.

Each year, Delta Gamma soror-ity hosts Anchor Splash, the largest single-day philanthropy event the University sees from any Greek or-ganization, according to the sorority. Their philanthropy includes a variety of creative ways to raise donations for their cause, Service for Sight.

Service for Sight was founded and is currently privately owned and oper-ated by the sorority, whose main goal is to prevent blindness and contribute to those who have experienced sight loss.

The fundraising event will take place Sunday, April 3, in Carmichael Gymnasium at the pools from 2-5 p.m. with an award ceremony after-ward from 6-8 p.m. with BBQ for pur-chase and the band The Shakedown.

Fifty percent of the profits go to Ser-vice for Sight and the other half goes to a local philanthropy, which this year is expected to be the Moorehead School for the Blind. This school is facing clo-sure due to lack of funds — a $10 mil-lion deficit in total — and the hope is to help assuage the budget shortfall.

Aside from monetary contributions, students can also participate in vol-unteering at the school on Mondays which garners extra credit in the event competitions, according to Alyssa Riddle, a junior in communication

media and this year’s event organizer.The event in-

cludes, “Anchor Splash relays , wet T-shirt relay, freestyle relay, belly-f lop con-test, synchro-n i z e d s w i m -ming, Save the Mermaid race, bikini contest, mos t be aut i-ful eyes contest, Brickyard penny wars contest and T-

shirt sales,” Riddle said.Alan Sheridan,

a senior in com-puter science, participated in the Save the Mer-maid race, the wet T-shirt relay a nd sy nchro-nized swimming last year.

“The belly-flop contest was most memorable.

There were some really huge guys

who made little splashes yet some tiny girls that made huge splashes. There really is a lot of skill and technique involved,” Sheridan said. “It was a great event. It is a lot of fun with a lot of student groups there, there is stuff to do there the entire time and it’s all for a great cause.”

“It’s a great opportunity for every-one to get together and have a good time, and it is centered around a good purpose, and there is great power in that,” Riddle said. “Even if you are not a part of Greek life or your organiza-tion isn’t a part of any events, it is fun

to go and watch.”Maria Dimopoulos, a former mer-

maid, said that “everyone wished they were on Maria’s Mermaids, which was a combination of the soccer team and gymnastics team. Our team had the hottest bodies and looked the best in their leotards. It was fabulous.”

Dakota Delk, a senior in civil engi-neering, said the best part of the event was watching the amusing events.

“I buy a T-shirt every year to support the philanthropy and don’t miss any events,” Delk said.

Lauren Henderson, a sophomore in biological sciences, participated as a coach last year.

“It was great to get to know the other organizations and not just be around your own sorority,” Henderson said. “Practices were stressful, but the over-all outcome was a great feeling and a great accomplishment to share with others I hadn’t known that well.”

Anchor Splash has a history of at-tracting more students from the greater student body. Last year, some teams that participated were made up from ROTC, the varsity soccer team, gymnastics team and many other or-ganizations.

a lot of student groups

Fraternity chapters regain their charters after six yearsKappa Alpha Order and Sigma Phi Epsilon worked for years to re-establish their lost charters.

Stephen BehanStaff Writer

After years of preparation, the Kappa Alpha Order and Sigma Phi Epsilon Greek organizations have been re-chartered after losing their original charter years ago.

In the case of Sigma Phi Epsilon, which lost their charter in 2004, recharter-ing is the result of five years of hard work and strict regulations.

According to current president Dustin Nelson, a senior in chemical en-gineering, the decision to revoke the charter was due to financial and conduct reasons.

“A couple things that I do believe were involved with that decision to lose the charter were chapter finances — the chapter was in debt, I believe to the tune of $20,000 — and the conduct of the broth-ers. They had gotten in trouble with Stu-dent Con-duct for various things in the past,” Nelson said.

Rechartering is a long and difficult process, according to Nelson.

“Each chapter gets cer-tain requirements in terms of what kind of goals they need to reach before they can even send in their ap-plication to be chartered. You have to be in the top 10 percent of all IFC fra-ternities in all quantifiable aspects,” Nelson said about Sigma Phi Epsilon.

“A lot of work goes into recruiting enough people to perform to the standards they want us to meet,” he

added. “It’s safe to say that Sig Ep’s charter requirements are without a doubt the most rig-orous requirements across the board.”

Some of the requirements, Nelson said, involved academ-ics, members and standing among other fraternities.

“The GPA has to be above the all-student average GPA, we had to have 60 members at any given time and we had to be in the top three among fraternities on campus, and that’s quantifiable through the Caldwell cup,” Nelson said.

Sigma Phi Epsilon won the Caldwell Cup in 2010, mark-ing it as the best fraternity on campus.

“I think we still have a long way to go,” Nelson said. “Being the top fraternity here at State is not the end of our journey. If you compare our chapter to Sigma Phi Epson chapters na-tionally, we’re about average. Sig Ep’s national GPA is about 3.08. In the fall semester of 2010, our chapter achieved an average of 3.08, so looking at it that way, we’re right on the average line for Sigma Phi Ep-

silon.”Fraternity

Kappa Alpha Order a l so lost its charter in 2004 and was recently rechartered.

Accord-ing to Kappa A lpha rep-resentative Lynn Clark, a senior in business ad-

ministration, getting their charter back was a long process.

“To get our charter back, we had a checklist of things to ac-complish,” Clark said. That checklist included reaching 30 members, having a GPA of 2.7 or better and participating in community service.

Clark said he anticipates challenges with Kappa Alpha re-establishing itself on cam-pus, but is optimistic.

“With any re-establishment of any type of organization, there are always challenges. For Kappa Alpha, good man-agement of the organization is key,” Clark said.

Nelson acknowledged that not everyone on campus has a good opinion of fraternities.

“A lot of people will down the Greek system here at N.C. State,” Nelson said, “but we’re trying to break those stereo-types.”

Nelson said he wanted Sigma Phi Epsilon to go beyond being the best fraternity on campus.

“We’re an all-around organi-zation,” Nelson said. “We offer the best undergraduate expe-rience outside of class. That’s where we’re trying to go. We’re already the best fraternity on campus with winning the Caldwell Cup. The challenge is now becoming the best co-curricular organization on campus.”

Colored powder used to celebrate a Hindu holidayStudents celebrated Holi, the festival of colors, by throwing colored powder at each other in Wolf Plaza.

Stephen BehanStaff Writer

Warmer weather and blooming flow-ers have arrived, announcing the transi-tion from winter to spring. While many cultures celebrate the coming of spring, Hindus have perhaps the most colorful way of doing so.

The changing of the season is celebrated with Holi, the festival of colors. Despite last minute changes in both time and lo-cation, more than 100 students came together on Wolf Plaza for the holi-day.

Students, Hindu and non-Hindu alike, rubbed col-orful powder on each other’s faces, hair and clothes wishing “Happy Holi” to each oth-er while dancing to popular South Asian music. Yellow, green, pink, red, orange and purple powder hung in the air, and colored the people celebrat-ing the holiday.

At one point, the large dancing crowd was lassoed and drawn together into a mass, cheering and dancing. A game of tug-o-war followed, then more dancing. The event was lively and loud despite the chilly weather.

The event was hosted by Ektaa, a South Asian student organization, who sold col-

ored powders and plates of South Asian food at the event.

Hersh Shah, a senior in mechanical engi-neering and co-president of the organiza-tion, said the celebration was really about having fun.

“It’s celebrated more because of what you do, the fun aspect to it, rather than the religious aspect nowadays,” Shah said. “Honestly, there is a religious affiliation with it, but to keep it simple for everyone, it just really the festival of colors.”

Ashutosh Garg, a senior in aerospace en-gineering and co-president of Ektaa, said people expect to get messy.

“We tell people to not wear anything nice. Wear the same clothes you would wear if you were going to be painting

something,” Garg said. “You really can’t plan anything about it. It gets re-ally chaotic.”

Shah added that people who go to Holi celebrations usually wear white.

“It ’s preferred that they just wear white because it’s really interesting to see all the different

colors you end up with at the end of the day,” Shah said.

Holi is important to South Asian culture, according to Shah.

“It’s a big part of South Asian culture. In most of the Bollywood movies you see, if it’s in the spring time, they always show Holi,” Shah said.

The event was originally scheduled for March 19, but scheduling conflicts pushed the festival back to the 26th, Hersh said.

“We had our other cultural event last

Saturday. It was conflicting time as far as we had so much going on. Holi’s actually on the 19th, we had our cultural show on the 19th and it was just too much going on in one weekend, so we just decided to move it to the next weekend,” Shah said.

Tiadra Simpson, a junior in environmen-tal design in architecture, said Holi was a new experience for her.

“I had never heard about Holi before a few days ago. It was a lot of fun learning about another culture and celebrating a new holiday,” Simpson said. “I had a lot of fun throwing powder around and seeing all the colors. I started off with a white shirt, but by the end, it was completely covered.”

Simpson said she plans on attending next year’s festival.

“I’m definitely coming back next year,” Simpson said. “It’s my new favorite holi-day.”

Ektaa has been around since the 1970s, according to Hersh. The organization hosts social and service events in order to spread-ing South Asian culture.

“Ektaa means unity [in Hindi], and our motto is ‘unity within diversity,’” Garg said.

Holi is an Indian tradition at the beginning of spring in a celebration of color. “I heard it was really fun and you get to throw paint,” Lai said.

SportsIn the women’s 5,000-meter race,

junior Andie Cozzarelli finished eigth at 16:44.38 and senior Kara McK-enna took 11th place with a time of 17:04.54.

Cozzarelli enjoyed the weather con-ditions Friday evening as she lead a group of racers in the 5,000 meter run behind post-collegiate runner Lau-ren Bonds of the adidas Raleigh Track Club who nearly beat the 19-year-old meet record in Section I of the 5,000 meters. After two miles Cozzarelli said she started to lose steam.

“At first I didn’t think it was going to be too hard leading, but once I started to get tired, it was aggravat-ing,” Cozzarelli said. “Pretty much I think my legs started to feel tired and I kind of started to give into the pain, but weather wise, the tempera-ture was perfect.”

Saturday was a different day for weather conditions however, and many athletes felt it was best to opt out of a few races in order to not injure themselves from the brisk weather.

Sophomore Ben Major, however, did not opt out and won the 100 me-ters for the Wolfpack with a time of 10.66 seconds. Major also competed in the 4 X 100 meter and 4 X 400 me-ter relay squads, which finished fifth and seventh, respectively. But because of such damp weather, which dropped below 50 degrees, Major withdrew from the 200-meter dash.

For junior Kwame Boatwright, who was the Wolfpack’s top triple jumper during the last two indoor seasons, 50 degrees is not the typical weather he’s looking for to break is goal of 50 feet.

“Although it was a good way to start

the season, it’s hard to do your best jump less than 50 degree weather,” Boatwright said. “Everyone didn’t do as well as they wanted to and for me it was pretty frustrating to be so close to my goal.”

Boatwright’s triple jump on Satur-day came to a measurement of 49 feet and 6 ¼ inches. Coach Chris Cole-man said he was pleased anyway.

“I’m really proud of him the way he jumped in this weather,” Coleman said. “He is my hardest worker; always coming to practice.”

The Wolfpack will travel to Gainesville, FL on Friday for the Florida Relays.

pumped in my life. Ashley and I were down and came back and ended up winning as the deciding match. Ev-eryone was cheering and it was just a great moment. I was glad to share that moment with Ashley.”

Olsen, who was proud of his team’s performance, lamented on the results from the singles matches against the Tigers.

“We were off to a good start,” Olsen said. “Then we came out in singles. I

thought we were fighting and working hard on five courts but not on all six courts. I think we needed to keep the energy going and be ready to bring it on all courts. I think this day showed an improvement for us on the doubles side but we have to be able to match the energy we bring in doubles through out all of the singles matches and all the way until the end of the matches.”

The Pack will spend the week prepar-ing for competition on the road as State will travel to Tallahassee to play Florida State on Friday and then to the Univer-sity of Miami to take on the Hurricanes on Sunday.

tered the game in relief. The redshirt senior worked five innings, allowing only one hit while striking out five bat-ters. With a narrow 5-3 lead, Overman entered the game in the eighth inning to shut the door on the Tigers and did just that.

“They were lights-out,” Mazzoni said. “They came in and threw strikes. They kept the ball down in the zone and let the defense help them out.”

Just like the frigid weather Sunday afternoon, the Pack’s bats were cold in the series’ rubber match. Starter Dan-ny Healey ran into trouble in the sec-ond inning, where three doubles and an error by freshman Dylan Brown gave Clemson an early 3-0 lead. Af-ter Riggins drew a walk, centerfielder Brett Williams hit a triple over the head of Clemson’s Chris Epps, scor-ing Riggins to make it 3-1.

In the following inning, Maynard smashed a two-out solo home run off

the scoreboard in right field to bring the Pack within one run. But State’s bats cooled off quickly, as Clemson pitcher David Haselden recorded three straight 1-2-3 innings while striking out five Pack batters.

Redshirt junior Grant Sasser was un-characteristically erratic with his com-mand, walking three batters on the way to giving up two runs (one earned).

“He was making good pitches but just wasn’t getting the calls from the umpires,” Maynard said. “He was hit-ting his spots but just wasn’t getting called strikes.”

After not committing a single error in the first two games, the Pack had two errors, which contributed greatly to the outcome of Sunday’s game and has in every loss this season, according to Williams.

“When we’ve lost this year, it’s been because of the little things like de-fense,” Williams said. “Playing solid defense is really important and it showed today.”

The Wolfpack will be back in action Tuesday as it travels to take on UNC-Greensboro at 6 p.m.

Paul Derr Track hosted thousands of athletes compete in N.C. State’s only home meet.

Rebecca FiorentinoStaff Writer

Just hours before the rain commenced on Saturday night, the Raleigh Relays wrapped up in what was the biggest and only home meet for the Wolfpack. As head coach Rollie Geiger watched the thousands of athletes, coaches and fans from around the country pile in and out of Paul Derr Track, he was pleased at how well the N.C. State community hosted this grand event.

“We accomplished our goal of having athletes walk away from this facility and saying that N.C. State knows how to put a track and field meet on,” Geiger said. “This triangle meet not only generates interest to the community, but gen-erates tax dollars to the city of Raleigh, such as athletes staying in hotels; it’s a real plus for the community and for here at N.C. State.”

Friday began with a men’s discus throw of 160 feet and 3 inches by N.C. State fresh-men Jule Rich who partici-pated unattached.

There were three N.C. State athletes who par-ticipated in the men’s long jump; junior Emmanuel Davis with a 23 feet, 6 inch jump at fourth place, red-shirt senior Lamont Savage

following teammate Davis in fifth place at 23 feet, 3 ½ inches and finally junior Kwame Boat-wright with a 22 feet, 8 ½ inch jump in seventh place.

Other men’s f ield events included the high jump with Wolfpack three-time All-ACC performer Kris Kornegay-Gober who placed fourth in the men’s high jump at six feet, 10 ¾ inches, followed by

teammate Christian Council in seventh at six feet, 6 ¾ inches.

On the distance side, red-shirt freshmen Andrew Colley and senior Adam Henken fin-ished third and fourth in the 5,000-meter race with times of 13:56.02 and 13:58.96, re-spectively.

Wolfpack enjoys home cookin’Behind Mazzoni’s complete game shutout, State takes two of three from No. 15 Clemson.

Tucker Frazier Senior Staff Writer

Entering the weekend with only one conference win, the N.C. State baseball team needed a strong show-ing in its ACC home opener against No. 15 Clemson to get back into the thick of things in the conference standings; and the Wolfpack (14-11, 3-6 overall) did just that.

In Friday’s series opener, junior Cory Mazzoni became the first Wolfpack pitch-er to toss a com-plete game shut-out since 2004, helping the Pack to a 6-0 victory at Doak Field at Dail Park.

Following Mazzoni’s four-hit gem, relievers Rob Chamra and Chris Overman combined to give up one hit over six and two-thirds score-less innings Saturday afternoon to fend off the Tigers, 5-3.

With the possibility of a sweep well within sight in Sunday’s series finale, sub par defense and poor pitch loca-tion came back to haunt the Pack, as Clemson won 7-3.

Despite two victories over a divi-sional opponent, coach Elliott Avent said he was disappointed with the re-sult of Sunday’s matchup.

“It feels good picking up two out of three against Clemson,” Avent said.

“We got off to a tough start and had a chance to get back into the ACC race this weekend. It was very disappointing to lose [Sunday]. I thought it was a game we could have easily won. We made mis-takes that did not have to be made and that’s what beat us.”

Having won four out of its last five games, it’s clear the Pack is turning things around, but Avent knows how valuable each game is in a conference as competitive as the ACC.

“We’ve gotten back to playing good baseball,” Avent said. “We had a chance to sweep this weekend and we should have done it.”

In the best start of his career, Mazzoni surrendered only four hits and two walks while strik-ing out ten batters. The Evans City, Pa., native said he felt as though he was in complete control over every pitch while he was deal-ing.

“My fastball loca-tion was probably the best it’s been

all year,” Mazzoni said. “My off-speed pitches were working too so I was able to keep hitters off balance.”

The top-half of the order did its part, with first baseman Harold Riggins lead-ing the charge with a three-run homer. John Gianis, Chris Diaz and Pratt May-nard pitched in with an RBI each to give State a 6-0 victory.

In his first career start, freshman D.J. Thomas ran into early trouble, giving up three earned runs before Chamra en-

A chilly event for track and fieldWOmen’s tennis

State struggles in singles

play, falls to TigersImpressive doubles performance not enough to hold off Clemson.

Josh HyattStaff Writer

The women’s tennis team was defeated by Clemson 5-2 during a home match at the J.W. Isenhour Ten-nis Center on Sunday. The Wolfpack, who are ranked No. 32 in the nation, dropped four straight singles matches t o t h e No. 15 Ti-gers after clenching a narrow victory for the dou-bles match point. Coach Hans Olsen thought the performance provided by his doubles teams was the highlight of the evening.

“We did a great job on all three of the doubles courts today,” Olsen said. “We won two and lost one but all three had a great energy and great intensity and that works for us, in the ACC es-pecially. The third doubles team was down 7-3 and the girls fought back and won 9-8 to get the doubles point and put us off to a good start.”

Lenka Hojckova and Ta-

tiana Illova made short work of Clemson’s doubles team in the No. 2 spot, winning 8-3. Then Sanaa Bhambri and Sandhya Nagaraj, who are nationally ranked No. 19 in doubles, fell 6-8 to the Tigers’ No. 1 spot team, who are ranked No. 1 in the nation. In the No. 3 doubles spot stood Ashley Miller and Joelle Kissell, who, after being down 7-3, managed to rally their points and win 9-8. Miller was thrilled to clinch the dou-bles match point for her team.

“Our dou-bles match was very ex-citing,” Mill-er said. “We were down and they ac-tually had a match point and we came back with a lot of energy and we were b ot h ve r y

aggressive. I think that is the reason why we won.”

Miller’s partner, Kissell, who has been undefeated in singles matches since March 1, played to the only victory in singles match play on the day. Kissell shared her optimistic view on her game play and on her newly found success in doubles play.

“I feel like I’m playing pretty well,” Kissell said. “I hope I can keep giving it my all and playing to the best of my abil-ity. The doubles match was so awesome. I’ve never been so
