Fall Color Explosion to raise awareness

The Fall Color Explosion is planning to beautify campus by planting flowers to increase breast cancer awareness and honor Kay Yow.
Nithya Kote Staff Writer
Students will have a chance to in-crease breast cancer awareness Satur-day, as well as beautify the campus.
Fall Color Explosion, an event planned by the Student Government community service commission and the University grounds crew, prompts stu-dent volunteers to plant flowers around campus in order to raise awareness for breast cancer.
According to Erin Morris, co-chair of the Department of Community Out-reach, the Fall Color Explosion is meant to honor coach Kay Yow and all other victims of breast can-cer.
“This event is meant to honor our beloved coach Kay Yow. We want to re-member the amazing woman that she was, and to pay respect to her memory. In addition to that, this event is meant to encourage both students and faculty who have been affected by breast can-cer,” Morris said.
Morris, a junior in political science, said Student Government is very ex-cited about the event.
“We have a wide variety of student organizations participating [in the event].”
“We are expecting about 100 plus
volunteers,” Morris said. According to Morris, the first Color
Explosion was held in 1993 and has been held every October. “The rela-tionship between Fall Color Explo-sion and Breast Cancer is somewhat open to individual interpretation. We tie Fall Color Explosion to breast cancer normally because the month of the planting occurs in October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” Morris said.
Britney Keene, a sophomore in so-cial work, said the beautiful season and cause work well together.
“Fall is a season of pretty colors-the col-orful flowers makes the surroundings so beautiful. If the University can come together to support breast cancer aware-ness by planting f lowers, it means a lot,” Keene said.
Morr i s sa id a Breast Cancer Vigil will be held on Oct.
25 at Wolf Plaza.“The following Monday after the
planting is done, Student Government is planning on doing a Breast Cancer Vigil,” Morris said. “This ceremony will honor both victims and survivors of breast cancer. We wanted to give students and faculty the opportunity to pay tribute to loved ones who have had breast cancer. In addition to that, we also wanted to pay tribute to our beloved Coach Yow.”
According to Morris, the University’s grounds management crew provided the plants for the event.

People all over Raleigh are being encouraged to look, talk and act like zombies in the 2010 “Zombie Walk.”
Brooke WalligStaff Writer
Halloween will arrive early this Sat-urday, as zombies participating in the 2010 Raleigh Zombie Walk will flood the city streets.
In the fourth annual Raleigh Zom-bie Walk, participants are expected to dress and act the parts of zombies, zombie hunters, or hapless and help-less victims while lurching around a fixed path in downtown Raleigh at 7 p.m.
According to Rich Livingston, event organizer and self-proclaimed “Shaun of the Dead,” the event is meant to be both a tribute to the classic idea of the zombie and an event for all ages.
“We really want to keep with the classic images of zombies as set by film director George Romero,” said Livingston. “But this is also an event for everyone, regardless of age, and we want people to act accordingly.”
The event, which first started in 2007, began as a collaboration among multiple people who shared an interest in classic horror and the undead.
“It was just a group of people inter-ested in horror and the undead who saw that Raleigh was missing out on something that every major city should have,” said Livingston. “Walk-ing hordes of the undead.”
Livingston said there are two sets of rules for this zombie walk, the main

N.C. State will become the first university in North Carolina to host a TEDx event when the University presents TEDxNCSU Saturday.
TED, Technology Entertainment Design, has licensed the University to host this independent event. Francis de los Reyes, an associate professor of civil, construction and environ-mental engineering, said the event presents the best thinkers and ideas to change the world.
“TED is a na-tional, internation-a l ly phenomena actually. What it is actually is is a con-ference put on by a nonprofit organiza-tion that features the best thoughts in the world. They put up these two confer-ences,” Reyes said. “Twice each year they have a gather-ing of the best doers, thinkers, and ideas to present ideas that change the world.”
“TED is not about main stream, it is about ideas. Some of them might be something we don’t hear every day, but it is making an impact,” Reyes said.
The event will be held Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. in the Talley Student Center Ballroom. Ap-proximately 200 people purchased tickets. The event is sold out. Accord-ing to de los Reyes, Union Activities Board is planning on hosting another TEDxNCSU event in the spring. That event may accommodate up to 800 attendees.
“TEDx is an off shoot of TED,”
Reyes said. “‘X’ stands for an inde-pendent, community organized TED event. It is licensed by TED, but it is organized locally by the community. So, there have been over a thousand TEDx events around the world.”
Last year Reyes attended a TED event in India and he said the Uni-versity seemed like a natural place for a pro-progressive thought event like TEDx. Reyes was a main factor in getting TEDx to campus.
“When I was in India, I was sit-ting there thinking ‘Why can’t we do this at N.C. State?’ The Univer-sity has students who we want to inspire,” Reyes said. “It is a space where we should be able to exchange ideas. It is a natural place for a thing
like TED, and so I thought we should do TEDxNCSU.”
Reyes sa id the event changes how listeners think and feel about world changes.
“[It’s like] your m i nd h a s b e en blown away. Your emotions have been pulled in many dif-ferent directions,” Reyes said. “You get
a really great talk that changes how you think, how you feel, and inspires you.”
He predicts TEDxNCSU will be a similar experience.
“It is going to be a barrage of in-formation, different messages, {and] ideas in four hours,” De los Reyes said. “It is quite intense.”
Speakers at TEDxNCSU will in-clude Marshall Brain, N.C. State alumnus and founder of HowStuff-Works.com, and Dick Gordon, host of the public radio show This Story.
“[Brain] has been on Oprah. He’s been on things like National Geo-graphic series,” Reyes said. “He is a thinker, he thinks about a wide range of topics, and he is going to talk about
the meaning of life.”“[Gordon] is going to talk about
stories that he thinks are inspi-rational or will change how you think about the world,” Reyes said.
Members of the University com-munity will also speak. Speakers were chosen to fit into the event theme, “What Really Matters.”
Mike Giancola, director of CS-PELS and one of the event’s speak-ers, said he thinks it’s a great thing that the University is trying to bring to campus.
Giancola said he was invited to speak by an event organizer and that he plans to speak on hunger and poverty at Saturday’s confer-ence.
“Anytime you’re given an op-portunity to talk about some-thing you’re passionate about it’s a great opportunity,” Giancola said.
Reyes said the organization looked at a variety of speak-ers and searched for those who would bring new perspectives to the debate.
“We either came up with names first, or we thought about issues that we wanted covered and then we looked at different people who would bring a new perspective to those issues” Reyes said. “Obvi-ously, we wanted an N.C. State slant, so we started with the uni-versity of N.C. State.”
All talks will be less than 18 minutes, and Grains of Time, an N.C. State acapella group, will also perform.
“[This weekend] it is just the morning, but we figured that we would start to get the ball roll-ing,” Reyes said. “The hope is that we can do this every year.”

Carnatic, Rock and Jazz to be some of the genres of music played at the event.
Pranay Deshpande Staff Writer
A fusion of Western and In-dian music will be played in the Talley Student Center ballroom Sunday at 5 p.m.
MAITRI Indian graduate stu-dent association will sponsor the event which will promote talent.
Aditya Ravi, a graduate stu-dent in mechanical engineering and president of the MAITRI, said “Carnatic to Rock and Blues to Jazz will be played at the event.”
According to Ravi, the event began with several enthusiastic students who wanted a music
program with the intention to promote their newly formed band “!NJAYN.”
Ravi said ticket costs factored into the event, but students are excited to see the 12-member band.
“Since the costs were high, students were a little hesitant, but they certainly wanted to do this show,” Ravi said.
Sriram Menon, a graduate student in mechanical engineer-ing and a band member, said the event plans to mix Jazz and tra-ditional Indian music.
“It will be a good mix of Western and Indian music and there will also be some fusion stuff,” Menon said. “Our own compositions are an attempt to fuse some Jazz music with In-dian music, both of which we find extremely challenging to create, as well as to play.”
A lot of preparation went into the program and according to Menon, the group practiced for over a month, picking up songs that they wanted to play.
Saranathy Pakkam, a gradu-ate student in mechanical engi-neering and band member, said plenty of rehearsal went into preparing for the event.
“We had a lot of rehearsals, some of which went on for four to five hours. A lot of co-ordination between conflicting schedules of band members was required,” Pakkam said.
Ravi said the event will also have free refreshments and an area to relax and enjoy the per-formance.
“Since it’s an evening where one can relax and chill out with friends and listen to good mu-sic, I think the response should be good, and hey, we have free
pizza as well,” said Ravi.According to Ravi there were
not many formalities or permis-sions involved with organizing such event.
“We contacted the Talley Student Center to reserve the Ballroom, and automatically we have the clearance to play mu-sic or host any other approved event as per their regulations,” Ravi said.
According to Ravi, MAITRI wanted to do something bigger but there are time and money constraints attached to every event.
“This committee will step down and a new committee will be elected in December. This will be a foundation for such events and we only hope that the new committee will work on it and make it even bigger,” Ravi said.

crew who is responsible for getting all the materials as-sociated with the event. The grounds crew does this in an effort to reach out to students and get them actively involved on campus. Once the flowers are planted, the grounds crew takes care of them,” Morris said.
Morris said there would be different varieties of f lower-
ing plants planted during the event.
“This year we are plant-ing two types of Pansy, Delta Strawberry Shortcake and Del-ta Wine and Cheese,” Morris said. “We also have Snapdrag-on ‘LaBella Mix’, Swiss Chard ‘Bright Lights’ and Ornamental Cabbage ‘Color up White.’”
Morris said the flowers would be planted all over campus, but mostly in prominent places such as around the Bell Tower, the Chancellor’s Residence, Holladay Hall, Winston Hall
and Wolf Plaza. “Due to budget cuts we have
had to decrease the number of flowers and beds almost every year but we still try to plant the most prominent places on cam-pus,” Morris said.
Willysha Jenkins, a senior in animal science, said she thinks all the greenery and f lowers around campus has a very re-laxing effect.
“Planting f lowers is a very good idea, especially as it in-creases the greenery around campus. It is good to have a cam-
pus full of flowers and greenery; it has a relaxing effect,” Jenkins said. “It is wonderful for the University to acknowledge the importance of breast cancer. It can help women to be informed at a young age, and they can be more vigilant about it.”
Morris said Student Govern-ment would like more student volunteers to participate in the event.
“We want as many students as possible to show up for the event, Morris said.
set being the technical rules of the event set in place to keep up the charade.
“Each set of characters has its own purpose. You’ve obvi-ously got your zombies, which shamble after the humans. You’ve got the zombie killers who try to take out the zom-bies,” said Livingston. “And then you’ve got the marked survivors, which are basically the equivalent of zombie fast-food.”
The other set of rules involves legal and courtesy issues, which Livingston said are important to follow so there can be future zombie walks.
“We want to be sure that peo-ple, of course, stay out of traf-fic and keep their blood off of buildings and sidewalks,” said Livingston. “We also want to be sure they only attack those hu-mans designated as ‘victims.’ Despite their innate desires to consume human flesh, we can’t have them randomly attacking innocent bystanders.”
Larry Graham, a freshman in political science, will be at-tending the zombie walk as a member of the undead.
“I think it’ll be a lot of fun. I can’t wait to get out and eat some brains,” said Graham. “What would be really awe-some is if N.C. State organized a campus-wide game of zom-bie.”
According to Graham, the game “zombie” has similar rules as the Raleigh Zombie Walk.
A certain number of students are selected to be zombies, who then lurch about while searching for survivors to infect. In or-der to infect the human survivors, zombies have to grab them with both hands and hold on for at least three seconds.
If they are caught, they are required to turn into zombies and go after the remaining survivors. The last survivor is the winner.
The only method of protection is to attack the zombies on the head with a shortened pool noodle. The survivors in the zom-bie walk will not have this advantage, and must turn into zombies once bitten.
According to Livingston, at least 300 zombies joined forces in previous zombie walks, and he said he hopes there will be more this year.
“We’re going to have pho-tographers and videogra-phers out helping to spread the word about the night’s events,” said Livingston. “Zombies are entitled to the same rights as humans. All we are asking for is the same civil rights for the undead.”

One of the most successful graduates of the University comes back to speak about entrepreneurship.
Elise HeglarStaff Writer
Students will have an op-portunity to hear about suc-cessful entrepreneurship this semester from one of the best.
As part of installation week, honoring new Chancel lor Randolph Woodson, a lecture series on entrepre-neurship is being held Monday. Pe-ter Lehrer, co-founder of Lehrer-McGovern, wil l be the keynote speaker. Woodson will be introducing Lehrer before his speech.
“There are a lot of events going on during installation week, and this is one of them. The Chancellor will be in-troducing Mr. Lehrer before he speaks and give everyone some background informa-tion,” said Stephanie Parker, assistant to the chancellor for communications.
Lehrer’s lecture will be held Monday at 4 p.m. Before his lecture begins, the Office of Technology Transfer will host a showcase of entrepreneurial companies launched at the University. This event will be held at 3 p.m. The events are being held at McKimmon Center.
“We are hoping that students can gain some awareness by going to this event. We want to promote success on our campus,” Parker said.
After leav-ing the com-pany Morse/D i e s e l i n 1979, Lehrer founded his current com-pany, Lehrer-McGovern w i t h G e ne McGovern, w h o h a d
worked with him at his pre-vious company, according to an ncsu.edu report. Lehrer-McGovern are now considered one of the top three builders in America’s $100 billion con-struction industry, the report said.
During his speech, Lehrer will be discussing the docu-mentary “Dream Builders,” which is about his entrepre-neurial career in construction.
“Entrepreneurship is what N.C. State is all about. A lot of our graduates have done something like that and a lot of students want to do something like it,” Parker said.
Lehrer was chosen as a speaker because of his great success as well as his personal relationship with the Universi-ty. He graduated from the Uni-versity in 1963 with honors in civil engineering. His success is something the chancellor is hoping students will be able to benefit from hearing about.
“It’s a great way to celebrate a successful alumni while en-couraging students to excel,” Parker said.
Lehrer is known for his work on large construction projects. His company has worked on several big projects, including the restoration of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, Euro-land Disney, and the restora-tion of Grand Central Station in New York City.
“I always had tremendous belief in myself, but even more in the people I work with [and] in my company’s ability to deliver,” said Lehrer in a July 28, 2005 New York Sun report.

{ }OUR VIEW
The chancellor’s new slo-gan is “Locally respon-sive, globally engaged,”
and the University embodies this idea through its extension program within the state and its outreach to many countries across the world. Now, with the help of the TEDxNCSU talks, the University will be able to show that it is made up of peo-ple who also think the same way. The topic of Saturday’s talks is “What Really Matters,” which will show that N.C. State has ideas that “really matter.”
It may seem like another lec-tures series, but it is something much more. The TEDxNCSU event will help students and
faculty see here are people with inspiring ideas in their own backyard. There will be people speaking who spread their ideas every day and who are available to inspire others, all students need to do is take advantage of having their re-sources.
Francis de los Reye was good to bring the talks to cam-pus. Speakers will not only be speaking to attendants, but to the University and others who tune in to listen. The Univer-sity constantly challenges stu-
dents and faculty to change the world, and now it can challenge the world to do the same. This will further validate N.C. State as a think tank and promote it as an innovative, forward-thinking environment.
Also, holding the first TED talks to be held at a university in N.C. brings prestige to the University. Schools like Duke University and UNC-CH may have great graduation guest speakers, however N.C. State can prove that it has home-grown inspirational talent with
ideas that can also make a dif-ference.
N.C. State has ideas worth spreading. From CALS to CHASS, Engineering to De-sign, each college has a phi-losophy to share with the stu-dents, who will go on to share it with the world. The speak-ers for the TEDxNCSU talks embody these various corners of the University and will ac-curately present the ideas N.C. State has to change the world.
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.
TED talks further the challengeTHE FACTS:TEDxNCSU will take place in Talley Ballroom on Saturday, starting at 8:30 a.m. Speakers will include Mike Giancola, Marshall Brain, Dick Gordon, Saul Flores, Blair Kelly, Claudia Kimbrough, Marian McCord, and Santiago Piedrafita.OUR OPINION:This is a great opportunity for inspiring leaders of the University to share and promote their ideas and bring prestige to N.C. State. The talks should become a tradition at the University to truly show we are an innovative force with valuable ideas.

What is an idea worth sharing?{ }IN YOUR
WORDS
“Make sure you lead with your core values and don’t deviate from them.”
Adam Cloninger Senior, International Studies
Setting the campus climate
Diversit y has been a recent buzzword on campus. Groups,
leaders, rally’s and even Tech-nician’s editorials have been throwing the word around. Most students are tired of hear-ing it, but N.C. State encom-passes a diverse body of stu-dents, faculty and staff. There is no way around it.
The University released a survey Wednesday to the stu-dent body to test the campus climate regarding diversity. Students can tell the admin-istration how they feel about diversity and acceptance, how they view other’s opinions and can express exactly what they want to in an open-ended re-sponse box at the end.
This shows the University is interested in hearing what stu-dents think about diversity, and students should not take this for granted. If you get it, take the time to fill it out. It is impor-tant students respond to this survey, whether or n o t t h e y think diver-sity is impor-tant. If you think diversity is great, say so. If you don’t think diversity is a good thing, say so. Whatev-er the response, if people have this kind of opinion, the Uni-versity should be aware of it.
Being lazy is not an excuse for not taking the survey. It is 20 minutes to share an opin-ion that will shape the way the University moves forwards with its plans. The chancellor has already started work on the University’s Strategic Plan, and the results of this survey will factor into the plans, what-ever the results.
The University certainly put considerable thought into this project. One of the most interesting parts of the survey is about what the students‚Äô perception of others’ feelings are towards diversity, includ-ing the faculties‚Äô attitude. The students‚Äô perceptions are just as important as their personal feelings. The survey also asks about how welcome students feel in different sce-narios. While general feelings are important to consider, stu-dents are also affected by inter-actions. The University is wise
to consider these instances as well.
The University real ly wanted to hear what the students have to say, so stu-dents should tell them. How many times do students complain the University doesn’t care? Well, this is their time to really express their thoughts, instead of continuing to let the Uni-versity go with a blind, gen-eral feeling that students all like diversity. Students can confirm or deny this perception and allow the University to move forward based on the true feeling of students.
The University should also think about extending this survey to faculty. If they ask students about their opinions towards profes-sors, professors should also
b e a b l e to tell the Univer-sity about what they have seen. T he ad-ministra-tion wil l a l s o b e a b l e t o gauge how diverse the
faculty, who are the ones teaching and interacting with students daily, think the campus is or should be.
Ultimately, people are people and all people have opinions. There are groups on campus who do not feel we, as a community, should be welcoming to other groups different from themselves. Then there are groups who think the cam-pus should be welcome to all walks of life. Both of these ideas are the opin-ions of the different sides, however everyone needs to consider what it means to be on a University campus and who else is in the popula-tion that makes it up. At the end of the day, the greater majority has to be inclusive, no matter the opinion for or against diversity.

N.C. State’s oldest a cappella group give insights into their musical process and what auditions are like.
Elizabeth AyscueCorrespondent
The Grains of Time that will take the stage Saturday sounds a lot different than the one that began its 40-year run performing traditional a cappella songs. The group, while still performing classics such as “Swing Low Sweet Chariot,” has added to its repertoire contemporary pop favorites like the Backstreet Boys song, “The Call.”
The Grains, the University’s premier all-male a cappella group, have been around since 1968. The group gained its popular-ity for performing a cappella versions of traditional songs.
Matthew Tucker, a junior in human bi-ology and biochemistry, said the group has progressed over the years.
Tucker, the musical director for the Grains, explained that in order to attract a more diverse crowd, the group has begun playing pop songs to make their performances more contemporary. These songs are intermixed with the traditional a cappella songs that are a staple of their concerts.
“There can only be so many songs on the radio that a group of guys can sing,” Tucker said.
As far as converting a song to a cappella
format, Tucker said it is just a matter of listening to the song and determining the chord structure, then applying it to voices. He also said that a few of the members play musical instruments, which is helpful when writing the parts.
Ryan Riddle, a senior in mechanical en-gineering and the group’s public relations director, said this is especially true when considering the percussion of the song. Riddle beatboxes to provide the percus-sion during the performances. In order to prepare, he listens to a song to determine the different drums used and mimics the sound.
“I played drums for a long time. It makes it easier,” Riddle said.
After the group decides on a song, they hold auditions for solos and assign parts based on voices.
This year, the Grains have two new members, Scott McWhirter, a freshman in aerospace engineering, and Luke Miller, a freshman in chemical engineering.
McWhirter said he decided to try out after seeing some a cappella videos on YouTube.
“It was really nerve-wracking for me,” McWhirter said. “But the guys made it really relaxed.”
Miller said he did not have a chance to audition before the callback date, but the guys allowed him to perform anyway.
“They were really cool about letting ev-eryone have a chance,” Miller said.
The Grains hold their auditions bian-nually, at the beginning of the fall and
spring semesters. Tucker said they usually get more people who audition in fall than in the spring.
When choosing a new member, the group looks at not just the quality of his audition, but also at his musical back-ground and whether or not they think he will make a good addition to the group.
Tucker also said they try to recruit about two or three guys to make up for the ones they lose when they graduate. Every four years or so, the group loses about five members, according to Tucker.
For those who are too afraid to try out, Miller wants them to know that it is pos-sible to do a performing arts activity like the Grains and still have time for school-work.
“You can do just as much in school and still do this, if you know how to balance your life,” Miller said.
Through the use of more contemporary music, the Grains are hoping to widen their fan base to beyond a cappella fans and have more of a presence on campus.
“We’re trying to appeal more to the stu-dent body,” Riddle said. and still do this, if you know how to balance your life,” Miller said.

How does one define epic? I believe, in my humble opinion, that if you were to look up the word epic in the dictionary you would see a picture of Blind Guardian’s latest magnum opus, At The Edge of Time.
This album is pure magic. From the opening strings and orchestra, to the closing guitar riff, this album is absolutely f lawless. All of the songs on the album are based off of fan-tasy stories, and it really shines through in the lyrics.
The opening song, “Sacred Worlds,” was originally in the video game Sacred 2, where you had to find the band’s instruments in a quest. They extended the song with a full orchestra intro and outro, add-ing more depth and character to the song. This song immedi-ately sets the tone for the whole album and gives you an idea for what you have in store.
The next song on the album that really shines is “Tanelorn (Into The Void),” based off the series of books Eternal Cham-pion. The song is fast, having more speed metal akin to their earlier work. The guitars drive you forward, leading you to a catchy chorus you can’t help
but sing along to. One of my personal favorites,
“Curse My Name,” is based off of John Milton’s novel, The Tenure of Kings and Magis-trate, where a king is killed for not fulfilling his duties. It is an epic ballad where you will sing along to every word, and even raise your fist in the air, screaming the chorus at the top of your lungs. It is one of the best tracks on the album and quite possibly the best out of their entire 20 year discog-raphy, ranking second only to “The Bard’s Song (In The For-est),” a crowd favorite.
The last song to make men-tion of is “Wheel of Time,” based off of the Wheel of Time fantasy series written by Robert Jordan. This song is very much akin to the band’s last epic song, “And Then There Was
Silence.” It is bombastic with its huge chorus where the lead vocalist, Hansi Kursch, vocals are layered upon each other.
It is a fantastic way to close an album, and one that will force you to play the CD again, and again.
All of the songs on here are beautiful and composed perfectly. The orchestra added to the songs contrib-ute depth that one rarely finds in CD’s these days.
I recommend this album for anyone who loves power metal, prog metal or even just music in general. It is a fantastic album and one I think that will be very hard to top. I will be listening to this album until I reach the edge of time.

Technician : How did Muse get started?
Wolstenholme: I think when we got to about 15 years old, a lot of people were getting to the age where they were coming up to finishing school and thinking about careers and what they want-ed to do, and a lot of people lost interest [in being part of a band]. I guess me and Matt [lead vocals] and Dom [drummer] were a few of the last people that wanted to carry on making music and being in a band and feel like we were a part of something. It was just by coincidence really. Matt and Dom’s band fell apart and my band was on the verge of falling apart and Matt and Dom started to some stuff on their own and they asked me to play with them. I was a drummer at the time and they wanted someone to play bass and do back-up vocals so they asked me if I go. I had never picked up a bass in my life at that point. I had a few rehears-als with them and it kind of went from there and that was in 1994.
It took a long time to get going though. The first five years were really tough. I think particularly the part of the country we lived in there was no real music scene going on at that point. It wasn’t like London or Manchester that have these big huge music scenes going on, we were in a rural part of the country and there were very few places to play. We spent more time rehearsing than we did gigging.
Once we got signed to Maverick and different la-bels in different countries it was all about touring. We just hit the road and never looked back. I think it’s been a good way to break the band. For us, it was always about going out and play-ing live. I think we’re in a really good position now because the record sales industry is in such a bad place now. We’re in a good position because we know we can go out and play live pretty much anywhere in the world.
Technician : What inspires your music?
Wolstenholme: I think the one thing we’ve always tried to do with our music is keep it varied. I think music tours are like an education. We’ve always been keen to explore many different areas of music and many differ-ent approaches to making music. There are some influ-ences – particularly in recent albums – that are not neces-sarily music that we listen to that much. They’re definitely approaches to music we find appealing. I think on the last couple of albums there have been some electronic influ-ences. I don’t listen to an awful lot of electronic music but I’m definitely interested in the way electronic music is produced because it’s very, very different to the way guitar music is produced. For us, guitar music has al-ways been what we are and I think what this band always will be. I feel that between the three of us, there is only so much you can do with guitars. If you really want to expand your repertoire you need to be influenced by oth-er things. Matt’s been very heavily influenced by a lot of classical music, so the classi-cal music combined with the rock element combined with certain electronic influences has created this whole new sound that we’ve made.
Technician : What’s your favorite part of touring?
Wolstenholme: Obviously the show. Every day, you wake up and the one thing you look forward to is get-ting onstage. That’s what it’s all about. Aside from the show, it’s an opportunity to experience the world. There are many places that we’ve been to with the band that are places I wouldn’t have thought in a million years of going to. It’s great to experi-ence as much of the world as you can; I think it makes you more open-minded as a person, experiencing the dif-ferent cultures and different people. Obviously the travel is very difficult sometimes – you spend a lot of time jet-lagged, you spend a lot of time hanging around in
airports, cars, vans and tour buses. But that’s something that just becomes a way of life. Initially it’s very excit-ing because you’re travelling around all the time and then after a while it becomes tir-ing and once you get past that it becomes a way of life. For us, hopping on a plane is like most people jumping on a bus.
Technician : Do you have any stories about crazy fans?
Wolstenholme: You get stalked a little bit sometimes but it depends where you on. When you go to Asia and Japan and places like that, where a lot of bands from Europe and a lot of bands from America don’t go there that much, I think they get very over-whelmed by the whole situation when a band turns up.
It’s funny, you turn up to the airport and there will be hundreds of people there to greet you off the plane. I find it quite hilarious when you fly to New York or when you fly to Heathrow or some major city like that, no one gives a shit. Then you turn up in Indonesia or Tokyo or somewhere like that and there are hundreds of people at the airport wanting to get things signed.
When you turn up at a hotel, there’s people hiding behind curtains and walking around the lobby pretend-ing they’re hotel guests and then the next thing you know you’re getting swarmed by about 30 people at once. Places like that, the fans are really interesting because they come from a different culture and they get very excited when bands from Europe and America go over there.
I don’t think we’ve had anything too crazy. If that’s the kind of thing that irri-tates you then you probably shouldn’t be in a band. I think the reason most people are in bands is because they want to be loved and they’re insecure – that’s why you get into a band; you just turn into a show-off.

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.
Kris Gower, a junior in business administration, was spotted wearing a smart and stylish outfit. Her combination shirt and vest was found in her roommate’s closest (price unknown) but purchased from Kohl’s. Gower wears a black pencil skirt from Gap ($18 on sale) and red shoes from Nordstrom ($80). Her outfit is topped off with a bold patterned coat, purchased at a vintage store for $40. Gower loves shopping at stores such as Anthropologie, Free People and Target. Gower was dressed up for a sorority event, but she said her usual style is “relaxed and kind of hippie or hobo-chic.” Gower continued to say, “I like wearing things that no one else has. But I’m also a business student, so I try to dress professionally to impress my professors.”
Jillian Zhou, a graduate student in statistics, poses in the Brickyard. Zhou purchased her top at a store in China for $10, her leggings from Abercrombie and Fitch for $30, and her sweater from J Crew for $30. Her outfit is completed with boots by Sperry ($50), Hugo Boss sunglasses, and a Longchamp handbag ($100). Zhou enjoys shopping at Abercrombie and Fitch and Free People, and mixing those pieces with garments she has from China. “My style is casual with an Asian influence,” Zhou said. “I have Korean and Japanese fashion magazines that I look at for inspiration.”

Pub gives opportunities for local hip-hop artists to perform on Sucker Free Sunday.
Brendan JebbStaff Writer
With the Hillsborough Street renovations giving the area a fresh new look and a new surge of people walking the street, Shakedown Street Pub has capitalized on the opportunity to bring in good entertainment and quality food to an increas-ing flow of customers they have been experiencing lately.
“We have been open since Dec. 1 of last year and offer lunches, an open bar and mu-sic shows,” Norman Randolph McArthur, the manager of the pub, said.
McArthur discussed the goals of Shakedown Street both for the long run and for the present moment.
“We expect to satisfy the customers on a consistent ba-sis and create a great overall experience in terms of food and entertainment,” McAr-thur said. “We would like to bring in superb local music on a consistent basis in the long run while keeping prices low for customers.”
The venue can fit roughly 50 people and provides an up-close-and-personal experience for the audience. Further-more, there is seating around the walls if customers feel the need to sit down during per-formances.
“We plan on booking many talented local artists, and we encourage people of all ages to
come out to shows. It is great to see our customer base grow over recent months,” McAr-thur said.
One event that has gener-ated popularity at Shakedown Street is Sucker Free Sunday. The event features numerous unsigned hip-hop artists, each performing 15-minute sets with backing from renowned deejays.
Last Sunday the event fea-tured performers such as Cyra-no Sinatra and Drique London.
“Sucker Free Sunday at Shakedown Street was a great show. The crowd was feeling the vibe of that boom bap hip-hop I was giving them, and I definitely will be back at this venue again,” Sinatra said. “It made me proud to see fans of underground music come out and support unsigned artists. We just want everybody to spread the word. K-Hill and I are dedicated to carrying the underground hip-hop torch for N.C. whenever and wherever!”
Eric Taylor, a Raleigh resident and music producer, said more people need to come out to sup-port the artists each Sunday.
“I’ve been coming out every week and it’s always a great time,” Taylor said. “If more fans would come out it would further add to the environment of the show and give these art-ists more motivation to keep making good music.”

Irving a Butkus semifinalist Senior linebacker Nate Irving is one of 15 nominees for the 2010 Butkus Award, which annually recognizes the nation’s top linebacker. Among the 15 semifinalists, three were nominees in 2009. Irving has notched 52 tackles, nine in the backfield and has had 3.5 quarterback sacks. His return from an injury that prevented him from playing in 2009 has played a substantial role in the Pack’s defensive turnaround. The list of award finalists will be released Nov. 23, and the winner will be announced Dec. 8.

Women’s volleyball to play two over weekend, including annual Dig Pink match
Brent KitchenAgromeck Sports Editor
The women’s volleyball team will host Virginia and Virginia Tech this weekend. The team’s annual Dig Pink event in support of breast cancer awareness will be held as part of the Saturday match against Tech.
This will be the first time the event has been held following legendary former women’s basketball coach Kay Yow’s passing.
“Especially with losing Kay Yow, who is clearly a big inf luence on our school, I think it’s a really good way to have everyone involved in a common goal for raising money for cancer research and things like that,” senior defensive specialist Taylor Pritchard said. “It’s not just the athletes getting together and sup-porting cancer research, it’s our fans, our coaches and everybody coming together and doing that together.”
However, the team must first focus on its Friday opponent - Virginia.
“Coach Bunn, one of his big things is taking it game by game and point by point,” Pritchard said. “We’re used to not focusing on the game after the game we haven’t played yet.”
State enters the weekend at 12-9 (2-7 ACC) and with five conference matches to play, is three wins away
from its best ACC season since 1999, when it went 5-11 in conference play.
“This is an opportunity for us to win two games at home and it is really excit-ing that we get to have a Dig Pink match this weekend,” redshirt sophomore set-ter Megan Cyr said. “It’s going to be a really good game.”
This year’s Dig Pink will also be new to transfers like Cyr.
“I’ve always seen other schools do it,” Cyr said. “I’ve never had the privilege to play for breast cancer awareness before so I’m really excited to get the opportu-nity to do that, and I’m really excited to see the fan support and play for a cause.”
For Elena Frac, a freshman outside hitter from Cary, the event has addi-tional meaning because of Yow’s battle with cancer.
“Being from around here, Kay Yow was a big deal,” Frac said. “When she was going through [her battle with can-cer] I heard everything that was going on. Dig Pink makes me think about her and [the fact that] we’re raising money for people who are fighting just like she did.”
In addition to raising money for breast cancer awareness, Dig Pink gives the players the opportunity to be a little more “girly.”
“Dig Pink is a really fun game because for one, as girls, we get to wear pink, which is always fun,” Pritchard said. “It’s just fun. There’s nothing super different about the game or anything. You still have your competition that you want to win but it’s more of a fun atmo-

Men’s tennis team looking to end fall season on a high note.

The N.C. State men’s ten-nis team will cap off its fall portion of the 2010-11 sea-son as it takes part in the UNCW Invitational over the weekend.
The 59th-ranked Wolfpack w i l l b e joined by host UNC Wilming-ton, North Carolina Central and Monmouth in the two 12-player singles brackets.
Redshirt junior Julian Sullivan and freshman Ivan Sanchez Gomez both received rankings in the Flight A singles bracket, earning the No.’s 3 and 4 seeds, respectively. They will be joined by redshirt sophomore Will Rollinson,
who will be competing in the Flight B bracket.
Although the fall portion of the tennis season is essentially a tune-up for the spring, the Wolfpack would love nothing more than to end it with a vic-tory.
“We would love to end the season on a high note with a win,” Rollinson said. “We want to work on the things we’ve been practicing on so far this season, put good strokes on the
ball and just get better.”
With only a handful of players mak-ing the trip to Wi l m-ington, the tea m w i l l be traveling
light, but Sullivan is still opti-mistic about their chances, as long as players keep their poise.
“We just have to stay in the match mentally,” Sullivan said. “You can’t get upset about the last shot. You just have to move on to the next point because it helps the opponents if they see us get down on ourselves.”
The Pack has received healthy
contributions from a number of places, according to Sullivan.
“Our team has definitely worked hard this season and it’s been paying off for us,” Sul-livan said. “Everyone has done really well.”
Sullivan kicked off the fall schedule in fine fashion for the Pack, winning the purple bracket at the season-opening UVA Invitational. Junior Jaime Pulgar followed that up by col-lecting three wins at the UVA Plus One tournament and then reached the round of 16 at the ITA Carolinas Regional. Sophomore Dave Thomson one-upped Pulgar at the ITA’s, making it all the way to the semifinals and picking up five wins in a four-day span.
Without Thomson, Pul-gar and other vital players, the Wolfpack still expects to perform well to finish the fall strong and carry momentum into the spring season.
“In this last tournament, we want to do the same thing we’ve been doing,” Sullivan said. “We want to work hard in every match and the results will be in our favor.”
