Former Chancellor Marye Anne Fox received the presidential honor at the White House Wednesday for her contributions to science.

Staff Report

Marye Anne Fox, a former chan-cellor, received the National Medal of Science Wednesday at the White House.

Fox was one of 10 recipients to re-ceive the award, the highest honor bestowed on scientists by the U.S. government, according to a White House press release.

Fox held the chancellor position from 1998 to 2004 before becoming the chancellor at the University of California at San Diego. She was tem-porarily replaced by Robert Barnhardt before James Oblinger took office in 2005.

According to the release, Fox earned the award “for her research contribu-tions in the areas of organic photo-chemistry and electrochemistry and for enhancing our understanding of excited-state and charge transfer processes with interdisciplinary ap-plications in material science, solar energy conversion and environmental chemistry.”

The National Medal of Science was established in 1959 for individuals “deserving of special recognition by reason of their outstanding contribu-

The Sustainability Office’s Turkey Day Energy Rush will try to increase awareness on campus about turning off appliances before leaving for holiday breaks.

Shivalik DagaStaff Writer

This Thanksgiving the Sustainabil-ity Office may be coming to a dorm near you.

Turkey Day Energy Rush, an event organized by the Sustainability Office, aims to increase student awareness about responsibility towards energy conservation. The Energy Rush is part

of Sustainability’s “Do It in the Dark” competition between residence halls, which ends Nov. 30. The Energy Rush will be held on Sept. 22 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Harris Field.

Matthew Peterson, chair of the IRC’s Sustainability Committee, said the event is an opportunity to get students together to think about their resource use and conservation.

“The point of the Energy Rush is to get students out onto Harris Field to get pumped about energy conser-vation,” Peterson said. “All attend-ing students will then be a part of a team, or teams, that ‘rush’ through

As a part of the ongoing International Education Week, a symposium is being held today in Talley Student Center to promote the benefits of studying abroad.

Sagar SaneStaff Writer

The Study Abroad Office is holding a symposium today in Talley Student Center’s Walnut Room, which focuses on the opportunities and benefits of studying abroad. The event will include a list of presentations from students and faculty members about their ex-periences studying abroad. It will be held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Adam Steckler, assistant director of the Study Abroad Office, said it is a great opportunity for students.

“It is a chance for students and fac-ulty alike to learn from the experi-ence of those who have studied abroad in past. There will be presentations by students and faculty who will share their experiences on this,” Steckler said.

Three of the pre-sentations will be given by students who have studied abroad, Steckler said, and the rest will be delivered by faculty who has previously led study abroad programs.

According to Steckler, this is the sym-posium’s third year at the University.

“The main purpose of this event is to raise awareness amongst the public about such opportunities. [The audi-ence] will get to learn about the experi-

ence of studying abroad, get better idea of what students do when they study abroad,” Steckler said.

Diane Beckman, assistant professor at the department of foreign languages and literatures, also one of the present-ers at the event feels the public can learn a lot from such events. She has been the fac ulty director for the Paris-Lille study abroad program since 2004.

“I will be showing one-minute vid-eo from all the tours I have had since 2004,” Beckman said. “Two of the students who were on that program in past, will also be there to share their experiences.”

“Such an event is very useful in a sense that it gives an insight of com-pletely different culture than ours,” Beckman said. “We learn how to in-teract with different cultures and the

people.”Beckman said she

enjoys filming her study abroad expe-riences because she can share them with future groups.

“From my pre-sentation, I expect to give some idea about film making as [making films] allows us to share our experiences with those who were not a

part of the tour,” Beckman said.Steckler said the event is free and

open to the public and said the event will range in presented topics.

“Some of the other presentations include one on stressing [about] the challenges of studying abroad, another highlighting Mexican natural history and culture, amongst others,” Steckler said.

the residence halls to knock on doors and get residents thinking and excited about saving energy.”

Peterson said the Energy Rush specifically aims at challenging and encourag-ing students to change their attitudes about energy con-sumption, and to get them excited about be-ing more sustainable through energy conserva-t ion. The volunteers w i l l a l so remind residents to turn off a n d r e -move a l l electrical appliances and other devices before leaving for Thanksgiving Break.

Barry Olson, associ-ate director of University Housing-Facilities, said the awareness of one’s energy use is critical and campaigns such as these

go a long way in educating students about how they can reduce their consumption.

“Students are generally not aware of how much energy they are using, and so awareness is critical, which will give them a sense of what their consump-tion is over a period of time, say a week, two weeks or even a month,” Olson said. “It gives them [students] a chance to take up conservation measures. Competition certainly drives

conserva-tion.”

I n l i g ht o f r e c e nt budget cuts, t h e U n i -versity may f i nd such measures helpf u l in reducing its expenditure and redirect mone y to more press-ing matters.

“Not only is it f inan-

cially important, but it also reduces our greenhouse gas emissions,” Olson said. “We all have a responsibility to con-serve and reduce our emissions. Down the road the costs of en-ergy, water, electricity etc. are only going to rise, so we need

to be good stewards and act responsibly.”

David Dean, outreach co-ordinator for the Sustainabil-ity Office, said it will create a positive impact in developing awareness on campus.

“It will be students advising students on how they can make an impact,” Dean said.

Peterson said the Rush event is an “important milestone” for the University.

It will utilize student vol-unteers to move through the Residence Halls and encour-age fellow students to turn off their lights and continue to save energy, both for the sake of competition and for the larger goal of conserving energy to have less of an impact on our planet,” he said.

Peterson also said the com-petition has some other advan-tages as well.

“The competition provides a few incentives: bragging rights for winning Residence Halls who conserves the most en-ergy, of course,” Peterson said. “Also, the winning Residence Hall is given an awesome prize at the end of the Energy Com-petition.”

{ }OUR VIEW

Student Senate makes plans, spends money and provides students with leadership expe-rience, but they seriously need to reconsider the purpose of the legislation they take the Senate Meeting time to pass. The R 47 Advising Review bill, while possesses a purposeful name, is superfluous in its en-tirety. Everyone, including the senators, knows advising is a problem, so Student Govern-ment should have made their bill more purposeful.

Within the first line, the bill makes the senate look ridicu-lous: “An act to encourage a comprehensive review of the University’s current advis-ing system.” The Roundtable meeting on Oct. 13 determined advising was an issue and thus the Chancellor’s Liaison Meet-ing on Oct. 27 brought out ex-

perts from across the Universi-ty to discuss this. This meeting determined changes needed to occur, it didn’t take a Student Senate recommendation to get things started.

They haven’t really created any recommendations with this bill and haven’t gained any ground. If anything, they have taken a couple of steps back. Their response was slow and waiting almost a month and a half to declare something a problem goes to show that bu-reaucracy exists even within the student version of govern-ment.

Once Student Government finds out a problem, they should recognize it, but also

investigate it. A second follow up bill was mentioned at the Senate meeting that will offer more recommendations that R 47 didn’t include, but that bill won’t be ready until the spring. Although spending time on a bill is great and putting work into it should produce results, the students shouldn’t have to wait that long to see solid rec-ommendations from Student Government.

Student Government did a great job rehashing the con-sensus that was not only de-termined at the Chancel-lor’s Liaison meeting, but the Roundtable meeting prior to that in October. The nine sena-tors listed lots of grievances,

but no solid recommenda-tions. If they knew some of the problems, they could have suggested some solutions or sought out people to target and get things moving. These sena-tors have essentially said noth-ing if they cannot get anything done.

Student Senate should be good at using the resources of the University. By functioning as a body of senators, they as-sure everyone’s voice can be heard but also sought, and by being leaders they should be able to divide and conquer and utilize the faculty and admin-istration to gain insight into issues. Students and the Uni-versity are not looking to be wowed with political jargon, they want to see action and re-sults.

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.

Student Senate, stop wasting timeTHE FACTS:The Student Senate held a meeting on Wednesday and talked about the R 47 Advising Review bill. The bill lists the problems nine senators have determined and lists two resolutions. Senators hinted at a second bill that will be passed in the spring that will list more recommendations.

OUR OPINION:While the bill’s subject is pressing and important, Student Senate is recognizing old news and wasting time. They should be actively recognizing, but simultaneously working to solve them.

Shut the book on Facebook

On any given day, I log on Facebook at least a couple of times.

Checking posts on my wall, friends’ photos, or making use any of the various appli-

cations, it can become quite time consum-ing and if not managed prop-erly, addicting. Facebook is a mainstay of our culture, however we

need to know how to use our time on it.

One of my closest friends re-cently deleted his Facebook ac-count. When I approached him about it, he said it was too much of a distraction. He is supposed to graduate soon and keeping his grades up to par with past performance is key to secur-ing a job in just a few months. In a recent study conducted by Ohio State researchers, the average collegiate GPA of us-ers was a full point lower than their counterparts who didn’t use it. If you are continually concerned with your grades, perhaps getting off Facebook would do your GPA a great service.

Not only do I find myself concerned with my grades, but also the time I spend with those who mean the most to me, my friends and family. These figures form a vital sup-port structure to our lives and are there for us through thick and thin. If they are neglected

through overuse of online social networking sites, we are doing them a great dis-service. A study conducted by the University of Southern California found people who say they spend less time with their families because they are on the internet tripled over the course of the last three years. In the same time period, the amount of time spent with family members per month has shrunk from 26 hours to a meager 17.9. I’m not sure about you, but success growing crops in Farmville is not worth the loss of the bonds of friendship and a family’s love.

Facebook has revolutionized our society’s cultural norms by making our friends much closer to us. We no longer need to sift through developed pho-tographs to see what happened at the latest social function, because the click of a mouse can do that in a matter of sec-onds. Staying in touch with a long lost friend is as simple as a friend request or wall post. This convenience comes at a price though. Lower grades and lack of familial communica-tion is certainly not something to scoff at. Managing our time on Facebook is key to not only accepting this social tool, but maintaining our real-life rela-tionships and grades, as well.

Though the emcee-producer collaboration is a concept that seems to have been left in the past, every so often a emcee and producer team up for an album that recalls the days when acts such as Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth and Gang Starr ruled the hip-hop scene.

Brooklyn MC Skyzoo and New Jersey hip-hop pro-ducer !llmind teamed up to craft a sharp, 12-track record that seamlessly combines the sounds of golden age hip-hop with the sounds of today’s hip-hop.

From the opening track, Live from the Tape Deck presents it-self as an album built heavily upon hard-hitting beats and filling rhymes. The album is Skyzoo’s sophomore effort, fresh off his 2009 debut The Salvation and it definitely showcases the emcee’s evolv-ing lyrical abilities.

Where The Salvation left off, Live picks up, featuring a more focused Skyzoo who ex-hibits the ability to use funda-mental sound rhymes to con-struct fleshed-out verses. His grasp of the English language is displayed as Skyzoo twists his words to his desires and utilizes them in simple, yet ef-fective, ways.

This is very clear from the get-go in the second track of the album, “Frisbee,” where Skyzoo starts each line with the last word of the previous line so seamlessly that you don’t even notice it’s being done.

“The Winner’s Circle,” finds Skyzoo role-playing as Lebron James, taking a little under three minutes to explain what took Mr. James an hour and some years to get out to the

world. But Skyzoo’s abilities are

truly exhibited on “Krylon,” a track which — on the surface — seems to be a simple ode to graffiti. But, digging beneath the rhymes, it reveals a track filled with metaphors about violence in its many forms, whether physical, emotional or sexual.

Of course, the album is not all about the impressive lyrical talents that Skyzoo showcases. !llmind, the Filipino-American producer hailing from New Jersey, displays why he is one of the most sought-after pro-ducers in the hip-hop under-ground, producing for acts such as Little Brother, Boot Camp Clik, Supastition and most recently Skyzoo.

With Live, !ll attempts to capture the analog sound of the cassette and give it an updated feel. What you get is typical East Coast boom-bap percussion beneath layers of strings, synthesizers and keys !llmind uses to create a haunt-ing soundscape for Skyzoo to mold his rhymes.

This album also does a bril-liant job of recalling the hard-hitting sounds of the past while looking into the future of hip-hop production. The produc-tion calls for the best speakers

one can find just to appreci-ate the richness, honesty and fullness !llmind weaves into his beats.

Live From the Tape Deck has the bonus of making every song feel a part of the album as a whole, rather than just a collection of singles compiled together.

The features, though appear-ing on four of the 12 tracks, match perfectly with Skyzoo and fit well with the records they are featured on — from Rhymefest on a political track to Torae backing up Skyzoo as “The Barrel Brothers.” The introductions and endings seamlessly transition into one another, never seeming out-of-place as the album progresses.

While Live From the Tape Deck evokes memories of the past, both through its title and the sound of the album, it is difficult to attain that same feeling from the days of the tape deck. But Live brings hip-hop to its basic essentials — the beats, rhymes and life. Nothing more, nothing less and Skyzoo & !llmind combine to make it one of the best releases of 2010.

A man’s guide on what to wear for all occasions.

Staci ThorntonStaff Writer

I call up my friends about four times a week with the same ques-

tion — “What should I wear?” We all want to dress appropri-ately, but sometimes men don’t feel comfortable asking that question. Below is a simple guide to help you through the process of figuring out what to wear and when.What to wear to the gym:

What to wear to the gym doesn’t seem too dif-ficult and I only have one request — please don’t cut the sleeves off of your shirt

so you can constantly walk around asking people if they bought tickets to the gun show. Wear gym shorts, a T-shirt (with no gross stains on it) and

tennis shoes — simple.What to wear on a date:

This one can be a bit tricky, but since you most likely planned the date, you have the upper-hand on what to wear. For a first date, din-ner-and-a-movie sort of thing, you should be presentable. Something along the lines of jeans, a button-up shirt — add a sweater if it’s cooler — and shoes with no ties on them. These shoes can include boots or dress shoes — just a shoe that doesn’t have laces.

If the date is more casual, per-haps a baseball or hockey game, feel free to dress down and wear a polo or plain T-shirt (again, with no holes or stains), jeans and any shoes will work — cowboy boots, tennis shoes, low cut boots, Con-

verse or any other casual shoe.

On the other hand, if you are going some-where fancier, like a fundraiser or to see The Nutcracker downtown, dress the part. Dress slacks, a button-up shirt tucked in and nice work shoes are appropriate. A tie is a nice touch but not necessary if you aren’t com-fortable in one. If you don’t feel comfortable, your date won’t feel comfortable.

Concerts are always a fun date and my ad-vice is to dress in layers. A plaid shirt over a T-shirt is a good idea just in case the place gets packed and it gets hot in the venue. That way you can take off the button-up and wear the T-shirt underneath.Business Casual:

Business casual can be a very difficult message to decipher. When in doubt, wear khakis, a button-up shirt tucked in and shoes with no ties. Jeans are not appropriate for an event labeled as business casual. Weddings:

Weddings can also be tricky events to fig-ure out what to wear. Here’s the simple rule — the earlier a wedding is in the day, the more casual it is. For example, you might wear khakis and a button-up shirt to a 2 p.m. wedding but you would need to wear a suit if the wedding is at or after 5 p.m. Outdoor weddings also tend to be a bit more casual, so you can lose the tie for one of those.

Unfortunately, if the invite says black tie, you need to rent a tuxedo. If your date is wearing a short dress, then you can probably wear a dark suit, but normally, a tuxedo is warranted. If the invitation says white tie, you will need to wear a white tie, white vest and a white shirt with your tuxedo. What to wear for an interview:

The easiest event to dress for is an interview — always a suit. You cannot go wrong with a suit. This applies to career fairs as well. Always dress to impress when it comes to talking to potential employers. Casual:

With winter approaching, I see a lot of guys on campus thinking they are too manly for a coat. If you are going somewhere nice for the evening, wear a pea coat or leather jacket; otherwise just wear whatever coat you have.

Also, scarves and gloves do not make you look silly — wear them.Some essential advice:

Your socks should always match your shoes. If you are wearing tennis shoes, white socks are appropriate, but never wear white socks with black dress shoes — ever! You can wear colorful socks but they should be appropriate for the occasion. Don’t wear colorful, striped socks to an interview, instead try gray argyle.

Unless you are at the gym, you should always have a belt on. Don’t walk out of the house with wrinkled pants or a wrinkled shirt. Learn how to iron — it will change your life.

If this all sounds super boring, I suggest you find ways to make your outfit unique. A pop of color is al-ways appreciated — either in your tie, pocket-square or sock selection. You can ex-periment with textures and patterns in the aforementioned items. You can also find inter-esting belt buckles to wear with your jeans.

Pants need to be the right length for you. If you are standing up and someone can tell you the color of your socks, your pants are too short. They should cover the top of your shoes — if they don’t, please buy some new pants.

If you are ever stumped on what to wear — and it’s not job or wedding-related — you can’t really go wrong with a button-up shirt and jeans. It’s a good go-to whenever you find yourself wishing you could call your friends to see what they are wearing.

Outfits should match the occasion

Spotted in the BrickyardPHOTO & 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.

Gracie Blackley, a freshman in human biology, shows off an outfit consisting of a purple shirt from Gap ($5 on clearance), leggings from American Eagle ($12) and a charcoal sweater, also from American Eagle ($30). Her look was accessorized with a belt from Goodwill ($3), RayBan sunglasses ($125) and a pair of boots from Nordstrom ($250). Blackley said she enjoys shopping at Urban Outfitters, Gap, American Eagle and Anthropologie. “[My style is] exactly how I want to dress,” Blackley said. “It can be kind of strange or kind of quirky.”

As part of International Education Week, the International Tea event brought students together to share their cultures over tea.

Mark HerringStaff Writer

The impression many Ameri-cans have of tea falls along the lines of a bitter cup of Lipton or the diabetes-inducing sweet-ness of a southern iced tea. Yet around the world, tea is an integral part of culture that is hardly overlooked.

After water, tea is the second most consumed beverage in the world, and the tremendous amount of tea drunk carries a large cultural element. It is no wonder CHASS International Programs and the Office of International Services (OIS) hosted International Tea and Coffee, an event to demon-strate the significance tea and coffee carry in other cultures and a way to deliver a much-appreciated caffeine buzz to sleep-deprived students.

CHASS International Pro-grams and the OIS organized the event in light of Interna-tional Education Week 2010, which is sponsored by the State Department, according to Lau-ren Ball, program coordinator of the OIS. Throughout the week, the University offered various educational opportu-nities to help broaden students horizons.

“It’s a way to bring in Amer-ican students to learn about

other countries,” Erin Moody, manager of OIS, said.

Students representing vari-ous countries including China, Thailand, India, Bangladesh, Iran, Turkey and Saudi Ara-bia shared teas, coffees and desserts on Wednesday in the Caldwell Lounge to a crowd of students curious to learn more about tea cultures.

Throughout Africa, the Mid-dle East, South Asia and East Asia, tea is a social medium that has been integrated into hospitality for millennia.

“Whenever you invite some-one over, you always serve tea,” Behzad Nabavi, an Iranian graduate stu-dent in elec-trica l engi-neering, said. “It would be rude not to offer tea.”

Tea is native to South and East Asia and once its f la-vor, medici-nal and caffeine qualities were discovered, it quickly became an integral part of continental Asian culture. The long tradi-tion of tea made its way west into the Middle East, North Africa and eventually into Eu-rope, in which the tea and spice trade maintained enormously powerful empires in India, Per-sia and Turkey. Consequential-ly, tea is a daily ritual in these regions of the world.

“Tea is a big part of Indian culture,” Kalyan Palaparthy, a graduate student in mechanical

engineering, said. “People do drink coffee, but most drink tea.”

Along with the tea provided by the student representatives, Mike Ritchy, the owner of Global Village Coffeehouse, provided additional coffee, tea and sweets to the event.

“The coffees we provided are coffees from Indonesia that we roasted here,” Ritchey said. “Here in the states, we haven’t quite captured the essence of coffee or tea. For us, it’s a quick, on-the-go thing. It’s like self-medication. However, in the rest of the world, it’s more of a social thing…I hope this

event is able to bring a lot of Americans to take a look into the way t hat ot her cultures view tea and cof-fee.”

Despite the fact that all teas der ive

from essentially the same hy-brid of Camellia sinensis, tea can be dried, f lavored, pre-pared and enjoyed in a variety of ways. Moroccans tend to f lavor their preferred green tea with mint and amounts of sugar that scream “pass the insulin,” while other cultures, like that of China, Japan and Korea, prefer to drink tea plain.

“In Iran, we use sugar cubes,” Banadaki said. “However, we don’t mix it in the teacup. We put the little sugar cubes in our mouth and then we drink the

tea.”However, tea is only one fac-

tor to the offering of hospital-ity. Tea drinkers take the side dishes just as seriously.

“We eat a lot of lokum, the Turkish word for Turkish de-light, along with our tea,” Mus-tafa Berke Yelten, a Turkish doctoral student in electrical engineering, said. “Turkish de-light is a sweet dessert and has a old and strong reputation in Turkey and around the world. I am from Istanbul, and for ex-ample, in Muslim countries we are celebrating Eid al Adha, so what we do is visit friends and serve tea and eat lokum.”

Along with tea, Turkey has strong coffee drinking habits. Turkish coffee has a reputation of being very bold, bitter and powerful.

“We drink coffee throughout the day,” Yelten said. “Tea, like U.K. tradition, is served at 5:00 p.m.”

Just like tea, coffee comes in all shapes and forms. The Ara-bian Peninsula, Saudi Arabia in particular, has a unique tradi-tion of preparing coffee.

“We have a special coffee,” Hussain AlShabaan, a Saudi sophomore in mechanical en-gineering, said. “When a lot of people see it, they think it’s like a green tea. It is made with saf-fron and cardamom.”

Arabic coffee has a slight sweetness from the cardamom spice and would appear to be nothing like coffee consumed in the U.S. Arabic coffee is lightly roasted, so the color of the beverage is a slight yellow.

“Whenever a guest comes to visit, we drink coffee first, then tea, eat a little dessert and then drink coffee again,” AlShabaan said. “Also, there are special ways to drink it. For example, if I’m serving coffee, I must hold the pot with my right hand, pour it into the cup I’m hold-ing with my left hand and then serve it to the guest in my right

hand. The older people really take this part seriously.”

American coffee and tea drinking culture focuses more on the chemical composition of the beverage rather than its function of a social medium, but that idea is slowly changing.

Campus Bookstore sells student-designed T-shirts

The third annual T-shirt design competition draws 118 designs and two winners.

Chelsey FrancisDeputy News Editor

For Nicholas Romanos, a senior in graphic design, par-ticipation in the Campus Book-store’s T-shirt design contest stemmed from his desire to win the competition a second year in a row.

According to John Starbuck, the Bookstore managing man-ager, the managing team decid-ed to print the top two T-shirts this year. The bookstore do-nates $2 for every T-shirt sold to PackPromise, a University scholarship program.

Starbuck said the Bookstore employees chose the top eight designs from the submissions received.

“We received 118 designs. The bookstore employees sat together and voted amongst ourselves for the top eight shirts as the semi-f inals,” Starbuck said. “That also had to do with the designs that perhaps we have already done something similar to that, or we thought that trademark and licensing would not let it be printed.”

Trademark and licensing can pose a problem with T-shirt de-signs, according to Starbuck.

“When you print N.C. State emblems or logos, you have to submit it through trademark and licensing,” Starbuck said.

“A lot of T-shirts, we liked the designs, but we knew it wouldn’t pass trademark and licensing.”

Once the 118 submissions had been narrowed to the top eight, Starbuck said the Book-store put it out for student vote over a secure server.

“We put out the top eight designs for the University,” Starbuck said. “We had well over 1,0 0 0 votes for the T-shirts. The vot ing was done through a secure serv-er so that stu-dents could only log in one time and there was no double vot-ing.”

Romanos’ design con-tains the N.C. State fight song.

“My design is a typographic composition of the N.C. State fight song,” Romanos said. “I decided to go in this direction because I felt like my winning design from the previous year was lacking any sort of text treatment and it would be boring to be redundant, and it might be less likely to be cho-sen.”

Romanos said he enjoys seeing his design on T-shirts around campus.

“It’s quite entertaining to point out to friends that I’m responsible for what someone is wearing on a given day,” Ro-manos said. “It’s quite flatter-

ing when someone chooses to put something you created on his or her body.”

The Bookstore printed two different designs because of the low number of votes separating the two designs.

“When we finally received all the votes, there were only three or four votes separating the first and second [place] T-shirts,” Starbuck said. “There

were about 40 votes separat-ing the third [place] de-sign from the f irst [place] design.”

The Book-store ordered about 1,000 copies of each T-shirt.

“We have about half of the T-shirts

left,” Starbuck said. “At the end of the year, we will total the T-shirts sold and present a check to PackPromise for two times the number of shirts sold.”

According to Starbuck, each year the bookstore has given about $2,000 to PackPromise from the T-shirt sales.

are like no other I have ever seen. When you have tackles for loss like that, its like you know the plays before they are coming. That’s a big part of football and the linebacker po-sition. You have to read. You’re the quarterback of the defense and you have to know where everything is going to happen. I haven’t seen any linebacker that compare to him. His presence is felt. An offense can’t coach against that, when you have a guy that studies film as well as Nate. He has that instinct and the way he approaches film is unbelievable. And that has

rubbed off on me and what I look for in a defense.

When he made the crowd-pleasing tackle that he did I remembered the one he did to ECU a few years back, which was real nice. We knew it was coming because when Nate hits, he hits high because he’s a big guy. And when he hits high, he is looking for the su-plex. When I saw the guy land on his head, I was like, ‘bro, Wow.’ That whole sideline exploded. I got kind of light headed because I jumped up so quick. The whole crowd just went crazy. That’s Nate’s signature move so I’m glad he got that out of the way in front of the home crowd on his last home game.

But I tell Nate all the time, ‘I’ll kill Nate.’ When we get in red zone situations one-on-one, I always kill him. We al-ways joke around with it. He’s like, ‘I’m going to get it next time.’ I’m like, ‘alright, man.’ Nate knows what it is when we get into a footrace.

We know that this is the big-gest game of the year. You al-ways want to win your rivalry game. We are not going to make it as big as it is already is. You don’t want to put pressure on certain people. You don’t want to get caught up in the rivalry or the hype. We just have to go out and play ball. They will put their best 11 out there and so will we. We just have to go out there and dominate.

talk back and forth between us and it is going to get us amped up during this week of practice and all the way up until we get to their stadium and play. Things will be said out there in warmups and I just think that emotions will continue to rise until kickoff.”

Defensively, the Pack will hope to shut down resurgent quarterback T.J. Yates. Yates has received more than his fair of criticism over the years, but has put it together this season, throwing for more than 250 yards per game, while throwing 15 touchdowns and only eight

interceptions on the season. “You have to give their quar-

terback a tremendous amount of credit because he is doing a great job this year,” O’Brien said. “It is good to see because he is a great kid and has had some troubles in the past.”

That’s not to say that O’Brien does not expect his defense to go out and shut down the passing attack of the Heels. The fourth year coach said the stability and continuity of the defense this year has allowed it to perform at a high level.

“A year ago we had started nine different defenses in ten games, whereas this year we are playing the same guys pretty much throughout,” O’Brien said. “The only change has

been [David] Amerson, and I think having that same de-fense has helped a lot.”

But no matter what hap-pens, one thing is guaran-teed. Saturday will not be just another game.

“Certainly no one game is more important than others, that is how we ap-proach every game in this building,” O’Brien said. “But when you walk out of this building, its a rival game and they are special and different.”

BRENT KITCHEN/TECHNICIANFreshman guard Ryan Harrow drives past Tennessee Tech’s Chase Dunn during the first half of the team’s game at the RBC Center Friday, Nov. 11, 2010. Harrow had 16 points and four assists, helping the Wolfpack to an 82-69 victory.

Freshmen help Pack pound ECU to open Charleston ClassicBrown leads all scorers with 16, Harrow, Painter post double-doubles

J. Daniel ElyStaff Writer

The men’s basketball team will continue competing in its first tournament action of the year over the weekend in Charleston, S.C. The Pack’s competition in the annual Charleston Classic started Thursday at 6 p.m. with an 85-65 win over instate rival ECU.

Freshman Lorenzo Brown led all scorers with 16 points on 5-for-10 shooting from the field, freshman guard Ryan Harrow came off the bench to go for 11 points and 10 as-sists, and sophomore center DeShawn Painter contributed 12 points and 10 boards in the romp. Two other players, C.J. Williams and Scott Wood, also finished in double figures for the victorious Wolfpack.

The Pack’s blowout win over the Pirates comes just over a month after the football team failed to close out a hard-fought game in an overtime loss in Greenville to an underdog ECU squad. Harrow said before the game that the winner would l ikely repre-sent the state throughout the rest of the tournament.

“ I t h i n k whoever wins t h a t g a m e will represent North Caro-lina,” Harrow said. “We have ECU f irst so we can’t quite look past them yet. You have to take one game at a time. If you look too far in the future, you’ll lose sight of your current goals. We have to take one step at a time. That’s the way we’ve always done things and that’s

what we’ll continue to do.”Along with the Wolfpack and

Pirates, the Classic bracket in-cludes George Mason, UNC-Charlotte, No. 20 Georgetown, Coastal Carolina, Wofford and USC Upstate.

“I haven’t paid much attention to t he ot her teams, but I do know Georgetown i s pre t t y good,” Har-row sa id . “Hopefully t he f i n a l matchup will be us and George-town, but

we’ll see what happens.”State will take on the winner

of George Mason and Charlotte Friday at 6 p.m. on ESPNU.

After downing Tennessee Tech 82-69 last Friday, the Pack is anxious to open the careers

of its three highly-touted fresh-men with a string of victories in their first collegiate tourna-ment.

Starting with their first tour-nament action over the year over the weekend, the transi-tion from high school to col-legiate play for freshmen Har-row, C.J. Leslie and Brown will be eased by the support of vet-eran teammates like seniors Ja-vier Gonzalez and Tracy Smith, Harrow said.

“Javi has been a big help,” Harrow said. “He’s taken me under his wing a little bit. Any-thing I’ve needed, he’s helped me. He’s kind of been like a big brother. I’ll be sad when he’s not on the same court as me.”

In addition to the excitement the trio has brought to the fan base, it has also given coach Sidney Lowe more options for defenses and lineups this year. Depending on the Pack’s oppo-sition, with more options, Lowe can mix and match personnel to a greater extent this season.

NORTH CAROLINA?What happened the last time

State played

Going into the 2009 season finale, the Pack was 4-7 (1-6 ACC) and had lost six of its last seven games. The Heels entered Carter-Finley ranked No. 23, with a record of 8-3 (4-3 ACC) and were the heavy favorites. Carolina took a 24-14 lead into halftime after quarterback T.J. Yates came out on fire in the early going, completing touchdown passes of 35 and 70 yards to Jheranie Boyd. But the Pack’s defense stiffened in the second half, surrendering only three points, while Wilson completed 20 passes for 259 yards and four touchdowns on the afternoon, with no interceptions, to help the Pack control the second half and pull off the 28-27 upset.

Players to watch for:N.C. STATE

Redshirt sophomore linebacker Terrell ManningHailing from Scotland County High School, Manning, like a number of players on both sides of the ball Saturday, will have the added incentive of having played high school ball in the state of North Carolina. Carolina is sure to be as aware of Nate Irving’s record-setting eight TFL afternoon against Wake as anybody, and will likely send extra blockers Irving’s way. This should free Manning up to flow freely to the ball and allow his speed to create headaches for the Tar Heels. At various times this season, Manning has shown he can be nightmarish for opposing quarterbacks, both as a pass-rusher and defensive back. He picked off Clemson’s Kyle Parker and ran it back for a would-be touchdown negated by a penalty and has also notched 3.5 sacks and two hurries, including a pair of sacks against Cincinnati in week three.

UNCSenior quarterback T.J. YatesIn three games against the Pack, he has thrown five interceptions and only two touchdowns. To date, Yates has 54 career touchdowns and has been picked off 45 times. Just eight of those have come so far this season. But four of those came in last week’s loss to Virginia Tech, and seven of his eight interceptions this season have been thrown over the last four games. If State can get out to any sort of early lead and or find a way to make the Heels’ signal caller uncomfortable, it could very well be four consecutive Wolfpack victories. But Yates is nobody to take lightly, as he has thrown for 2,509 yards this season and showed what he can do in last year’s first half, when he led the Heels to 24 points on a trio of explosive scores, two through the air, and one on the ground.

BRO’IN WITH OWEN: WEEK 12

I cried, man. I cried while I walked out, when I got out to my parents for senior day against Wake Forest. I told myself I wouldn’t, but

I couldn’t hold back. That took me back a little bit.

UNC is in our way. Right now they are playing spoil-ball. With them t r y ing to

spoil our ACC Champi-onship berth, that is a big incentive for them. But it’s big for us because they are in our way and we re-ally don’t like them that much. The seniors that are there are revved up for this game. And we are too. I’m sure they want to win for the first time against our senior class. We don’t want to lose for the last time. It’s going to be interesting. I’m look-ing forward to a good, clean, nasty, physical, pretty, nasty game. Everything that goes into it, I’m ready for it.

They are still the most talent I have seen in a long time. With their recruit-ing, just because they don’t have the marquee names as usual, they still have guys that have the talent, guys that played as freshmen. When you look at a defense like that, they’re fast and they’re skilled. They’re still top-notch. But it’s all differ-ent this year.

We just have to make plays, like we have been do-ing. We have to take what we took last week and take ad-vantage of the weaknesses in their defense. We have done that thus far since I have been here, but it’s a different year and I’m really excited to play them.

Consistency is very im-portant in the ACC, espe-cially in a conference like this, at this time, when a win or loss can set you up for an ACC Championship. It’s big for us to stay on schedule and be consistent. We can’t blow out one team, and then go against another team and get blown out. We just have to roll with it and keep the momentum we have now going into the heated rivalry

UNC is in our way

Pack travels to Chapel Hill looking to continue recent dominance over Heels, keep Atlantic Division hopes alive.

Taylor BarbourDeputy Sports Editor

Every time N.C. State takes the field against the Tar Heels, it is a big game and a big deal to both the teams and the fans. But Saturday’s meeting has more much at stake than the previous matchups, especially for the Wolfpack, 7-3 (4-2 in ACC), as only two games stand between the Pack and its first ever Atlantic division title.

But for State to have a chance, it has to travel to Chapel Hill to take on North Carolina, 6-4 (3-3 in ACC), and take care of business against its hated rival. And coach Tom O’Brien knows all too well that this rivalry means a lot to not only the two teams, but to the fans as well.

“There is not anymore on the line than anytime we play North Carolina,” O’Brien said. “It is a game that is very special and important to our school, student body, facility and our alumni. The bonus is if we win we keep going, but still we are playing against North Caro-lina.”

If history repeats itself, at least recent history, than State

should emerge the victor, as the O’Brien-led Wolfpack have been 3-0 against the Tarheels in the last three meetings. And O’Brien is hoping that winning way will carry over.

“Winning would be the first trend we would like to contin-ue,” O’Brien said. “Each of the games have been pretty differ-ent in the ways that they have played out. The thing we have done is that we played hard and have been smart. We haven’t made many mistakes when we played North Carolina with the expectation of when we threw a few picks the first year here.”

O’Brien stressed the im-portance of the game against Carolina and that attitude has spilled over to his team, as it understands the meaning of this game because of the his-tory between the two teams.

“It is a rival game. I can’t say that it is just a regular game because it is us versus them,” redshirt senior middle line-backer Nate Irving said. “We are in each other’s backyard and you can throw the records out of the window. When it is us against them it is going to be a tough game because each team is going to come out and give 110%.”

This game will be the 100th meeting between the two schools and State will look to continue to try to cut into the Heels’ advantage, as Carolina holds a 63-30-6 series record.

For the Pack to do this it will need redshirt junior quarterback Russell Wil-son to continue his domi-nance over the Heels. In two games against the Tar-heels, Wilson has thrown for six touchdowns, more than 500 yards and zero in-terceptions, proving to be a thorn in the Heels defense’s side. But this year, Wilson may be going up against one of the best defenses in the country, one that only gets better as it gets its play-ers back from suspensions for NCAA violations.

“One thing they have go-ing for them is they have veteran players back,” ju-nior fullback Taylor Gen-try said. “They have a lot of speed and size in the linebacking group. They’ve stepped it up.”

With it being a rivalry game, its obvious that the two teams dislike each other more than any other game, and Irving believes that because of that, emo-tions will run even higher this week.

“With a rivalry, emo-tions are always high, so I will probably be a bit more emotional,” Irving said. “The media is going to do a good job at relaying trash

Seniors look to sweep hated Heels
