Poinsettias to spur breast cancer awarenessThe horticulture department has grown and tested a hybrid variety of pink poinsettias for breast cancer awareness month.
Nithya KoteStaff Writer
Researchers at the University are turning their research pink – at least in the horticulture department.
For October, the national breast can-cer awareness month, the horticulture department has grown and tested a hybrid variety of poinsettias- pink poinsettias, which will be marketed by the industry this month as a symbol of the fight against breast cancer.
T h e p i n k poinsettias were grown and tested in a greenhouse near the campus by Horticulture Professor John Dole and Flori-culture Technician Ingram McCall.
When the company, Paul Ecke Ranch, developed the bright pink hybrids they thought of associating it with breast cancer awareness month, Dole said.
“We specifically tested the plants for Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” Dole said. “The bright pink of the new hybrids made the company instantly think of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.”
Shikha Singh, a freshman in textile engineering, said it’s a unique way of raising breast cancer awareness.
“It’s a creative and beautiful way to raise breast cancer awareness. I appre-ciate the efforts taken by the horticul-ture department,” Singh said.
Dole said this is the first time the hybrid poinsettias have been grown off season.
“They are unique because they are hybrids between the popular and be-loved red ‘Christmas’ poinsettia and another species that is white. The two together produced the pink. This is the first time that these varieties have been grown and tested off season,” Dole said.
Dole said getting the pink poinset-tias ready for the October release was a challenge because they usually flower during late fall and early winter.
“Poinsettias are short-day plants, which means that they flower natu-rally in the late fall and early winter
when the nights are long and the days short. To get them to flower for October 1, which is much earlier than normal, we had to plant them early and black cloth them,” Dole
said. “Black clothing means pull-
ing a heav y black cloth over them in the late afternoon every day to block out the light and make the long nights and short days typical of fall. This caused the plants to start flowering much earlier,” Dole said.
Dole said black clothing can some-times have adverse effects; two va-rieties could not withstand the high temperature.
“Black clothing is commonly used, but we often run into problems with the high heat of summer. We started black clothing in August - remember
“They are unique
because they
are hybrids.” John Dole, professor of horticulture

Edward Okafor, freshman in industrial design, cuts cardboard for his group’s desktop structure in Leazar Hall on Sunday. The structure, which was an assignment for Okafor’s first-year studio course, has a checkered design theme. Okafor said the most difficult part of the project is “making it perfect” and that coming up with ideas was
the easiest. “As designers, we have a lot of ideas. We talk about ideas we have in common and what we like and that’s how we come up with them,” Okafor said.

Whether Holladay Hall is haunted or not
depends on personal beliefs and experiences.
Kali MalloryStaff Writer
Holladay Hall is one of the places on cam-pus with a haunting story. It was believed to be built on top of a graveyard and an 1889 fire was thought to be
caused by the spirits from the graveyard. Stu-
dents have been exposed to such stories about other places on campus, but whether these stories are accepted are up to the in-dividual.
E. Clifton Williams, Of-fice of General Counsel and University Records officer, said he doesn’t believe the building is haunted, but the paintings have seemed to change.
“There has been no
mysterious activity. But, from time to time, I have had to en-ter the building late at night, and thought the eyes of the large paintings on the main floor seem to have changed their point of fo-cus. But, it was probably just the difference in lighting from day to night.”
Greer Dillard, a junior in social work, said the building is spooky at night.
“The building seems spooky only at night when it’s less popu-lated on campus,” Dillard said.
Thomas Stafford, director of Student Affairs, said he does not think Holladay Hall is haunted, but other factors make it spooky.
“I guess it depends on who you talk to because I don’t consider it to be haunted. I hear stories about people seeing ghost or it be-ing built on top of a graveyard”, Stafford said. “However, up until 15 years ago the top floor of the building was used as storage. It had wooden, squeaky f loors, it was dusty and a little spooky, but I never saw or heard everything. But now, it has been remodeled and it looks very nice.”
Each year, the New Student
Orientation introduces haunting tales of Holladay Hall through the evening portion of its N.C. State History Tour, according to Gabe Wical, director of New Student Orien-tation.
“The primary pur-pose of the tour is to provide incoming students with a different angle on N.C. State’s cam-pus apart from just geography, landmarks, where classes are located, etc. Since Holladay Hall was the first building and has at least one interesting story associated with it, we include it as part of our tour.”
Stafford said the stories about Holladay Hall enhance campus life for those interested in those kinds of stories.
“It depends on your point of view whether these stories en-hance student life. For the people that think it’s important to have stories like that, it probably does enhance campus life overall. Any-one can make
up a story; that’s probably how these sto-ries got made. Someone makes up a story and it gets passed down.”
Shykelia Owens, a sophomore in social work, said the stories are custom to the University.
“I think it’s part of tradition, like a legend.”
Wical said the campus history tour is not intended to be scary,

how hot it was then. Plus, heat gets trapped under the cloths, because we have to pull them over the plant at 5 p.m. when the sun is still very strong. The high temperatures often prevent plants from flowering nor-mally at that time. In fact of the three varieties that we tested, only one tolerated the high temperatures and flowered normally. Luck-ily, it was the cultivar with the brightest pink color - almost f luorescent pink,” Dole said.
Dole said students can buy them as they are easy to care for. “[Pink Poin-settias] are easy to care for and could last for months if watered as with any normal houseplant. Bright light is good as long as the plants don’t get too hot,” Dole said.
Willysha Jenkins, a senior in animal science, said she hopes some of the proceeds from selling the flowers go toward raising breast cancer awareness.
“Poinsettias are usually associated with Christmas. It is great to know that N.C. State can grow pink poin-settias. It is such a unique idea. Genetic engineering is awesome, who knows what other colors they can come up with next,” Jenkins said. “The horticulture de-
partment is doing it for a good cause and I hope some of the proceeds obtained from selling the plants go towards raising breast cancer awareness. If I have a pink poinsettia plant at home, it will remind me of go-ing for my regular check-ups.”
The varieties have not been
named yet but Dole said he hoped they would be named after the late-Kay Yow.
“I am sure many of us would like to see the varieties named with some connection to Couch Kay or breast cancer work,” Dole said.

A group of the University’s MBA students completed a service project in Pullen Park Friday afternoon.
Elise HeglarStaff Writer
For a group of twenty stu-dents participating in the MBA program, this Friday was a day for giving back.
The group gathered in Pul-len Park to complete a service project for the park. The proj-ect was the brainchild of Ben Mathew, Bob Flynn, Meghan Howard and Zach Tinkler.
“The whole idea behind this was just to start a service proj-ect with some first year MBA students and help volunteer,” Mathew said.
Pullen Park has been un-dergoing renovation work for the past year and a half. Since funding is low, some of the work is dependent on volun-teers. The MBA students in-volved painted railings in the
park to help with the renova-tions.
“A group of students were talking about how we want to get more involved and give back,” Mathew said.
The main goal of this project was to give back to the com-munity, according to Matthew. The students worked with Pul-len Park officials to pull the project together. This volun-teer opportunity was done with the help of the MBA Student Association.
“We took some initiative and spoke to the current president, and they were thrilled to have involvement. Our big goal is to get the name of the MBA program out there in a positive way,” Mathew said.
This project will likely not be the last of its kind, according to Mathew. Tentative plans for a new project next month are already in the works.
“We are trying to coordinate something for next month, al-though I don’t know what that is yet. We talked about maybe
working on the Rose garden,” Mathew said.
The students worked for three hours and finished all of the painting on the bridge rail-ings. Food was provided for the students as they worked.
“I think we actually got more done than they were expecting us to,” Mathew said.
According to Matthew, mem-bers of the MBASA seem to be very conscious of giving back to the community.
The initiative to start this project was purely student driven, Matthew said. Pullen Park officials are constantly looking for volunteers to help with the renovation, and the MBASA seems to want to give them just that.
“It’s a good way to get to know the community and to give back. We want to start building this program in a big way and volunteering is a good way for us to do that,” Mathew said.
There are a total of 405 part time and full time students
currently participating in the MBA program.
“Our program isn’t as well known or recognized as some
other programs at the Universi-ty, so we kind of want to change that. We want to establish a re-lationship with the local busi-
ness community because it’s important that they recognize who we are,” Mathew said.
MBA students give back at Pullen Park
JORDAN MOORE/TECHNICIANEddie Hoffman, a first year MBA student, paints the underside of a handrail at Pullen Park Friday. Hoffman was working with other volunteer MBA students and candidates in painting the iron railings in Pullen park, which were in need of repair. “The idea was brought up by MBASA, and I just hopped on board.” said Hoffman.

Newsbut rather to interest students with myths and educate them about the campus.
“The intention of the tour is to provide a combination of interesting facts and myths. I think most students find the tour interesting, even if they don’t find it scary or spooky. If students anticipate a tour that is actually going to be actually scary, then they are probably disappointed,” Wical said.
Increasing interaction be-tween new students is another reason for the story telling, Wical said.
“We try to keep the tour
informative and fun and one more opportunity for students to meet other students and learn more about the campus.”
Owens said the tour con-sists of these stories as a way to alarm students.
“I think the stories are part of a hoax that they are saying to scare us.”
The stories about Holladay Hall could be traced back to the early days of the Univer-sity when students lived in the building, according to Stafford.
“Holladay hall is the oldest building of campus. In the early years, students lived on [the] top two floors. The first floor was where the offices and classes were, and the gym and infirmary were on lower level. People could have told stories
the first years, especially when the student lived here. My of-fice has been in this building for 27 years and I haven’t heard anything that consists with it being haunted.”
Dillard said these stories are important to the University.
“The myths give a sense of living history.”
According to Williams, there are interesting carvings from former residents of the building from its earlier years.
“I don’t think it is haunted. However, as a lover of history, it really is interesting to see the names [and] initials of former students etched into the win-dow sills of third floor,” Wil-liams said. “It’s sort of like a message from a by-gone age.”

Since taking office in April, Chancellor Randy Wood-son has been busy. Besides
being on the fast track to get accustomed to the University and its constituents, Woodson has made some large overhauls to the administration. While some of these changes have been arguably good and bad, his should always be a student-oriented chancellor.
The swift tuition increase decision was definitely unfa-vorable to students, and cer-tainly dampened their feelings towards the chancellor. He has a long way to go to regain stu-dents’ trust. There are more tuition changes in the future and the chancellor should be as transparent with these as he has with many of his affairs.
The way to success with students is to relate to them.
If they know the chancellor knows them and trusts them, students will be more likely to trust him and be more willing to give feedback and contrib-ute. Woodson should make himself more visible to the stu-dent body, whether it is walk-ing across the Brickyard during lunchtime or checking out the Farmers Market on Wednes-days.
The strategic town hall meet-ings have been a great idea to increase transparency in re-gard to the tuition and fees increases. However, students claim better advertising for the strategic town hall meeting events where the University is seeking input would increase
attendance and show students the chancellor does care to hear what they have to say. This goes hand-in-hand with relat-ing back to students.
Although the chancellor has defended the decision to move the Division of Student Affairs beneath the provost, many stu-dents took this as a slight. How-ever, since this is the reality, the chancellor needs to stay aware of students’ needs and remain receptive to them. Students’ main focus while in college is academics, however there is much more than academics that affect their experience and these concerns ultimately end up in Student Affairs.
Overall, the chancellor’s per-
formance has been good, but not impressive. The tuition in-crease and moving Student Af-fairs under the provost was less than desirable for students, but the chancellor has remained open and friendly to them. His focus has been on students and the future of the University. Ultimately, the chancellor’s job is to represent the Univer-sity and, by doing that, make those who are affiliated with the University proud to repre-sent it. As he remains focused on students, the chancellor will be successful.
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.
Remaining student-focused to move forwardTHE FACTS:Chancellor Randy Woodson will be officially installed on Tuesday. The chancellor has already enacted a tuition increase, hired a new athletic director, initiated a search for a new provost, and started planning for the University’s long-term plan, to name a few.
OUR OPINION:Chancellor Woodson’s performance has been good overall. He has remained transparent and willing to work with students. However, he should always remain focused on being a student-oriented chancellor.
Keep your plastic in your pocket
If you have been keeping up with the news during the last three or so years, the term “fis-cal responsibility” has shown up in the media excessively. The economic status of the
United States has everyone wondering what the best policy is for the countr y and in what direction we need to go.
It is unlikely the market can go completely unchecked. A
completely unchecked market leaves a lot of room for cor-ruption from individuals and corporations alike.
On the other hand, the people simply do not trust the government anymore. Its repu-tation of being corrupt is more prevalent now than ever. It is also very apparent the govern-ment does not spend money efficiently on socia l pro-grams. Citi-zens are look-ing at more government spending, but rarely see the benefits they expect f rom these schemes. So where does the country go from here?
I can’t say I have an answer for the economic tribulations the United States faces today. The economy is a very complex subject, and how the govern-ment chooses to use taxpayer money and how much to tax certain individuals is just as complicated.
The capitalist society that we live in leaves individuals with a great amount of responsibility. Before we can expect to have fiscal responsibility from our government, we must first ex-hibit it on an individual level.
A major problem with the United States today is credit card debt. According to the Federal Reserve’s Oct. 7, 2010, G.19 Consumer Credit report, the country’s credit card debt is $822.2 billion in debt. Ac-cording to the Federal Reserve’s March 2010, G.19 Consumer Credit report, the average household’s credit card debt is $15,788. This is a clear example that people in the United States
live well beyond their means. We take a lot of things for granted. Many Americans have a false sense of entitlement that makes them believe they can spend money they don’t have and somehow expect there to be no consequences.
It is very important for col-lege students to avoid credit card debt. Since I turned 18, I have been bombarded with credit card offers. Credit cards can serve their purpose as long as the person has the ability to pay them off. Credit cards that are offered to people our age have ridiculous interest rates. They are tempting, but they are trouble. Many students are forced to take out college loans to pay for school. It is very expensive, but it will be even more expensive when they realize they must pay for their loans and their credit card bills at the same time. Credit card bills will have to be paid off with more credit cards. It is a
vicious cycle. It is impor-tant we don’t ma ke ra sh economic decisions without eval-uating their long-term ef-fects.
Unfortu-nately, many people a re
learning these lessons the hard way. It is easy to want to live beyond your means in this ever-growing materialistic so-ciety; however, it will be much more beneficial to be smart and responsible now than pay a lot more in the future.

The independently-coordinated TED event brought faculty, students and people in the global community together to discuss the topic of “what really matters?”
Nasir KhatriStaff Writer
This past Saturday, the Uni-versity hosted a TEDx event in the Talley Student Center Ballroom. TED, which stands for Technol-og y, Enter-tainment, and Design, is a set of conferences held around the world in a n at tempt to circu late “ideas worth spreading,” the organiza-tion’s motto.
TEDx events are licensed TED events which are set up and run indepen-dently. TEDxNCSU’s discus-sion question was “what really matters?” The half-day event consisted of discussion from faculty, students and influen-tial people in the global com-munity, who each had a maxi-mum of 18 minutes to relay their thoughts on a particular subject to the audience.
200 tickets to the discussion were available for free at Talley Student Center on Oct. 11 and sold out within a few hours, re-vealing the extent of the event’s popularity.
Ameera Bayoumi, a senior in industrial engineering, said she attended the event because it was extra credit for her envi-ronmental ethics class and be-cause it was being sponsored by her college.
“I was going to go to the show regardless, but the fact that the College of Engineering was sponsoring it made me even
more excited to go. I really enjoyed the discussions t h e y h a d that centered around engi-neering be-cause I could really relate to t hem,” Bayoumi said.
Francis de Los Reyes, a professor in environmental engineering, was primarily in charge of the event because he has a TED li-cense. Many other volunteers were part of the advisory team that was heading TEDxNCSU, including David Dean, Tracy Dixon, Michelle Grainger, Jennifer Weston and Jessica Wilson.
“Because the theme of the
event was very broad, we were able to have faculty members, students and others outside of the N.C. State community come together to speak about a wide range of topics, from race relations, to environmen-tal protection, to global health policy,” Los Reyes said. “In fact, it’s this fact about the discus-sions that is the core of TED. Basically, if they are good ideas,
they should be spread to oth-ers.”
The event featured Mar-shall Brain, founder of the site HowStuffWorks; Saul Flores, a Caldwell Fellow philanthro-pist; Michael Giancola, director of the Center for Student Lead-ership; Dick Gordon, host of American Public Media’s “The Story” and many others. Grains of Time, the University’s all-male a cappella group, also performed during the second
half of the event. The topics of discussion
ranged in subject from global health policy to history of race relations in the United States.
After the show, those in at-tendance applauded the efforts of those who put the event to-gether, calling it a great success. Tayyaba Rayyast, a junior in biological sciences, was in at-tendance throughout the entire duration of the event and was intrigued by all the presenta-
tions. “At first, I thought the show
would not be too organized be-cause the theme was so broad, but now that I look back on it, I think the theme was the best decision they made. It was re-ally interesting and fun to hear the perspectives people had on a wide array of topics,” Rayyast said.

Flores made a journey called the Walk of the Immigrants, from Ecuador to the United States, to raise money and awareness for less fortunate kids in Latin America. Along his journey, Flores kept a photo journal, noting distinctions between the 10 different countries he travelled through.
Langar gives free food for a causeThe Sikh Student Association hosted “Langar in the Brickyard” on Friday to raise money for an Indian orphanage charity.
Nasir KhatriStaff Writer
Last Friday, the Sikh Student Association gave out free Indian food in the Brickyard as part of their “Langar in the Brick-yard” event. The organiza-tion raised money for an Indian orphan charity.
Accord-ing to the president of SSA, this was the first o f m a n y events they plan to hold t o u n i t e t h e s t u -dent body against the Indian orphan crisis.
Langar is a Punjabi word used by Sikhs to refer to free food. According to Jyoti Gill, a sophomore in biological sciences and one of the SSA board mem-bers, Sikhs give out free food at Gurdwara, the Sikh temple, to Sikhs and non-Sikhs alike in an attempt to promote equality. The food is usually a vegetarian dish so everyone can eat
together equally, regardless of dietary restrictions. The association served “cholay,” on Friday, which are chick-peas in a curry sauce.
Gill also said SSA raised a considerable amount of donations during the Lan-gar for Nishkam Seva, an Indian charity dedicated to helping orphans, battered women and other under-priveleged people.
“I’m so glad that the event was a success. It really goes to show that people at State really do care about the in-ternational community and want to help a good cause.
That’s why we see t he Langar i n t h e Brick-yard project as more than just a char-ity — it’s our first attempt at unit-ing a sig-
nificant portion of the N.C. State population in order to combat an international hu-manitarian crisis,” Gill said.
Doa’a Dorgham, a junior in psychology, tried the food and donated to the cause.
“Wow, the food is really good. Personally, I like spicy food so having free Indian food in the Brickyard was a dream-come-true. I also
Free food, contests and socializing epitomize Fall Fest, a small-scale carnival hosted by Carroll, Bowen and Metcalf Residence Halls.
Brooke ShafranekStaff Writer
The leaves are falling, the wind is brisk and Halloween is right around the corner. Au-tumn has finally arrived, just in time for the spookiest night of the year. Fall Fest, hosted by the Tri-Towers, is one way to get the season started.
Wednesday, Oct. 27, the small-scale carnival will take over Central Campus from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and will host a variety of activities, from eating contests to T-shirt cre-ations. Each Tri-Tower — Car-roll, Bowen and Metcalf — has developed their own activities for the celebration.
Josue Terrones, a sophomore in biochemistry and president of Carroll Residence Hall, said the residence hall will be hosting a buffalo wing-eating contest, and much more is to be expected from all the Tri-Towers.
There will also be a plethora of free food available for at-tendees. The annual event is aimed at the Tri-Tower com-munity to create a sense of uni-ty and belonging amongst the residents of the three residence halls. However, all students are welcome to attend.
Terrones said people at Fall Fest can expect to have a good time through entertainment and free food.
“It’s evident it has had a strong success in the past since all food has run out as well as the items. This year the free food will be back and we will have from hot dogs, to burgers, to what I believe are the best — the funnel cakes.”
Despite Oct. 31 swiftly ap-proaching, Terrones said Fall Fest is not related to Hallow-een.

FeaturesThe fourth annual Raleigh Zombie Walk brought hordes of participants dressed like zombies to Moore Square in search of brains and fun.
Jordan AlsaqaSenior Staff Writer
Dozens of zombies hungering for human brains and flesh in-vaded Raleigh’s Moore Square Saturday evening.
They were all Raleigh citizens gathering together to partici-pate in the city’s fourth annual Zombie Walk.
A zombie walk is an event where people dress up as either a member of the walking dead or a zombie hunter and travel a closed circuit acting in charac-ter. The complexity of the rules varies f rom event to event, often includ-ing the ability for zombies to catch and t u r n ot her participants into zombies.
Courtney Hol la nd, a sophomore i n c reat ive writing, was intrigued by the concept.
“I’ve never been in a zombie walk, but it seems like a really cool idea for fans of both classic horror and things like zombie games and movies,” Holland
said.The first Zombie Walk took
place on Aug. 19, 2001, in Sac-ramento, Calif. Since then, it has gained international popu-larity, with events held in coun-tries such as Canada and Aus-tralia. In 2007, Raleigh hosted its own zombie walk and has continued to return every year since.
Now in its fourth year, the event has grown to have more than 100 participants. This year was no different.
Richard Livingston, event or-ganizer for the Raleigh Zom-bie Walk, was happy to see the turnout.
“We’ve got a good number of people so far and more show up as things get going,” Livingston said. “Based on the numbers on Facebook, we’ll probably see at least 200 people.”
Early a r-rivers found a l o t t o do s t a nd-ing around before t he walk started. Groups posed for pictures together, compliment-ed other par-ticipants on their looks
and put the finishing touches on their costumes.
“Seeing what other people look like is one of the most entertaining parts,” Matthew Kershaw, one of the participa-
tors, said. “The creativity and style that goes into some of the costumes can be really impres-sive.”
Rules designed to allow the continuation of the event an-nually kept participants or-derly. Zombies and humans alike had to stay on the side-walks and keep fake blood from dripping on any public prop-erty. Also, zombies were only allowed to attack designated victims.
The event was also family-friendly and there were nu-
merous children in attendance. Kids weren’t the only age group on site though, as people of all age groups showed up to take part in the walk.
Allison Casey, another par-ticipant dressed as a protestor for zombie rights, saw the event as something anyone can enjoy.
“This whole thing is just re-ally fun,” Casey said. “It brings the community together in a silly, but great way.”
Overall, participants said the night was simply about getting together with like-minded in-
dividuals and celebrating the undead.
“There’s an ancient part of our brain that makes us want to flee from danger,” Livingston said. “Zombies represent the ultimate mer-ciless predator and give us a chance to use that part of our brain, which is nice.”

thought it was a creative way to further a cause, and that’s why I donated,” Dorgham said. “I plan on attending other SSA events that benefit Nishkam Seva, as well.”
SSA President Tiffany Saini elaborated on the role of Nish-kam Seva in India and SSA’s at-tempt at uniting the N.C. State community.
“Most people have seen Slumdog Millionaire and that’s exactly what goes on in India. The orphans and un-derprivileged are taken hos-tage by a gang and are made to beg for money — money that they have to give back to their bosses,” Saini said. “To some extent, it’s basically a Mafia and it’s our responsi-bility as privileged members of the international commu-nity to come together and end this sort of injustice that our country and moral principles speak against.”
Saini said no one knows about these facts until SSA in-form others, which is why they hold events in the Brickyard.
“The Langar was a good idea, I think, because it is a part of our culture and religion. And on top of that, it attracts a lot of people to the stall, which made our job a lot easier,” Saini said.
SSA also helps a fraternity on campus to host a Bhangra competition, known as Versa Punjab Da, every winter. Pro-ceeds from that event benefit organizations like Nishkam Seva.

occurs before Fall Break, right after the Fall Solstice begins,” Terrones said, “but due to scheduling factors it was moved to late October, which, in my opinion, was a good idea be-cause even in early October the weather was too hot and the weather right now is just right in the 70s.”
Dalton Love, a sophomore in nuclear engineering, said he is eager for the festivities to begin.
“Fall Fest is a ton of fun. It’s awesome to see everyone hav-ing a good time,” Love said. “I’m glad that it’s later in the month this year, otherwise it would have been too hot out-side to really enjoy it.”
Nicholas Bray, a freshman in computer science, said the event will be a great chance to meet new people.
“It’s always nice to make friends with your neighbors and the people who live close by because it’s easiest to hang out, and since Fall Fest is mainly for the Tri-Towers I hope that that will happen.” Bray also said he
is excited to watch the nu-clear wing-eating contest.
Chrissy Bacak, a fresh-man in biological sciences, also said Fall Fest is excit-ing because it’s a great way to get people to socialize.
“I love that there are events like this to go out and do stuff,” Bacak said. “I think freshmen are mainly the ones who are going to go to these sorts of things anyway, but everyone likes to meet new people.”

PLANTING YOUR GREENS
JOANNAH IRVIN/TECHNICIANKenny Ragsdale, a freshman in business management, plants a swiss chard at Fall Color Explosion. Approximently 70 students volunteered by planting flowers at various locations across campus. The students were divided into groups and were given an area of campus to beautify, from Centennial Campus to the area surrounding the Bell Tower.
Technician was there. You can be too.
The Technician staff is always looking for new members to write, design or take photos. Visit www.ncsu.edu/sma for more information.
Ahsan Raina, a senior in chemical engineering, was also in the audience during the event and appreciated the efforts of those who presented.
“Not everyone can stand in front of a large crowd and convey their sometimes-con-troversial point of views to the
audience -- it really takes guts to do that. But, I think that was one of the biggest reasons why I enjoyed the event,” Raina said. “Everyone was so open-minded and professional in the audi-ence and I think the event owes a large part of their success to that fact alone.”
TEDxNCSU was presented by the College of Engineering and the Office of Sustainability. It was also sponsored in a large
part by Bayer Crop Science and CREE. Further, the pre-senters of the event thanked the College of Design and the Mechanical & Aero-space Engineering Program for lending their expertise to the event.

body better.”Choboy also sees the avail-
ability to practice against top players in the nation as a par-ticular advantage to making every player on the team better.
“We are fortunate to play with nationally-ranked play-ers on our team,” said coach Choboy. “We get to train with those types of players everyday
in addition to all the hard work we are putting in.”
Choboy and his staff are con-fident in the progression of the team and believe the goal to compete equally against any team in the nation is within reach.
“Our objective is to abso-lutely be able to go in there and go toe to toe with anybody and we’re going to have to go in there and go toe to toe with everybody,” Choboy said.

to play each other twice. So there’s no, ‘Oh we’ll get them next time.’ It’s unfortunate but you do what you can and move past it.”
In the Virginia match, the Pack struggled offensively with a .118 attack percentage, but sophomore Megan Cyr had 39 of the team’s 44 assists during the match. Senior
Alex Smith lead the team in digs for with 14, while junior Kelly Wood added 13 digs.
State could not contain the Hokies’ offense, allowing a .341 attack percentage, compared to just .195 for the Pack.
“I think that defense was an issue in both matches,” Wood said. “Defense definitely should have picked up in both match-es. [Virginia] was out-digging us. Usually if you’re out-dig-ging someone, you’re winning.”
Although the team struggled defensively, State had an oppor-tunity to make a comeback in the third set. The Pack pulled
out to an early lead in the set until Virginia Tech tied the score at 10 with a kill by junior Justine Record. The Hokies grabbed the lead with a service ace on the ensuing point and held the lead for the remainder of the set to seal the victory.
“We just have to be more con-sistent with our energy,” Salata said. “We’ll get really hyped up and then someone will make an error of some type and it affects the whole team. We have to fig-ure out a way not to let it get us down. We have to act like we’re winning even when we’re not. “
Despite the loss, Wood was able to stand out with a great performance for the Wolfpack. She broke her previous season high in digs with 21 for the match, extending her team lead to 271 for the season.
“It’s my season high,” Wood said. “It doesn’t matter who does what, who gets what, who plays the ball up, who plays they’re best. It’s about winning, getting the W. “

Women’s soccer comes up short against Duke
Looking to put an end to its six-game losing streak, missed scoring opportuni-ties highlighted the N.C. State women’s soccer team’s 2-0 loss to Duke. The Pack could not overcome an early goal by the Blue Devils’ Nicole Lipp, who put a 27-yard free kick into the back of the net in the 19th minute of the contest. Despite being out-shot 7-2 in the first half, the team battled to keep the score 1-0 as halftime ap-proached. Wolfpack keeper Kim Kern made three saves in the first half, helping to preserve a one-goal deficit. Ju-nior Kristina Argiroff watched her header sail just wide of the right post in the 48th minute. Following the Pack’s missed scoring opportunity, the Blue Devils’ Laura Weinberg took advantage, scoring her ninth goal of the season in the 53rd minute to give Duke a 2-0 lead. In all, Duke held a 14-5 shot advantage and a 6-2 lead in corner kicks over the Pack. The loss drops the Wolfpack’s record to 7-10 overall and 1-7 in the ACC, second-worst in the conference. The team will look to turn things around as it wraps up the regular season schedule with trips to Virginia and Virginia Tech on Thursday and Sunday, respectively.

Losses to Virginia and Virginia Tech extend Pack’s losing streak to six games.
Jeniece JamisonSenior Staff Writer
The N.C. State volley-ball team could not snap its four-game losing streak
over the weekend in Reynolds Coliseum, as ACC foes Virginia and Virginia Tech each handed the Wolfpack a loss. The Cava-liers defeated the Pack in four sets on Thursday, 25-18, 20-25, 25-20, 25-18, while the Hokies swept State on Saturday by scores 22-25, 19-25, and 20-25.
Disappointed after dropping its sixth consecutive match, ju-nior Margaret Salata said the
team just has to put the losses behind them and move on.
“It’s tough, especially when we’re at home,” junior Marga-ret Salata said. “When you’re at home, you want to win for your fans. We don’t get to play Vir-ginia and Virginia Tech twice, unlike everyone else who gets

Five individuals win highlight stay at UNC-Wilmington Invitational.
Jon GoodmanStaff Writer
The N.C. State men’s ten-nis team finished off the fall portion of the 2010-2011 season with solid perfor-mances from a trio of play-ers at the UNC-Wilmington Invitational over the week-end. Red-shirt sopho-more Will Rollinson, redshirt junior Ju-l ian Sul-livan and freshman Ivan San-chez Go-mez each contrib-uted at least one win to the team’s victory total.
Joining the 59th-ranked Wolfpack were host UNC-Wilmington, N.C. Central University and Monmouth University.
In all, the team tallied five wins over the weekend. Sullivan defeated UNCW’s Illia Ziamstov, 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 on Friday, while Sanchez defeated Ziamstov, 7-5,
6-3, on Saturday. Rollinson would supply the other three wins with a victory over Nat Smiley, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, on Fri-day and defeated Monmouth’s Ian Terpilowski and UNCW ‘s Chris Cooprider Saturday, 6-3, 6-3 and 6-4, 6-2, respectively. Rollinson did not lose in singles play until the finals on Sunday to Wetherell 6-4, 7-6.
The success is the pay off for the hard work he puts in to bet-ter his play said Rollinson.
“It was a pretty good tour-nament,” Rol-l inson said. “I did a lot of things I’ve been working on all semes-ter.”
A key ele-ment Rollin-son cred it s for his better play i s t he emphasis on fitness in the
program. “It is a really big deal. In the
matches we won this week-end we were in much better shape and personally I never felt tired,” Rollinson said. “An hour and a half in, I was con-fident, seeing the other guy tired.”
With the fall portion of the season over, the team will fo-cus on training and preparing for the spring season. Coach
Jon Choboy says the team will continue to focus heavily on physical conditioning over the next five to six weeks of train-ing but must also focus on be-coming mentally tougher in order to constantly reproduce the successes in practice so far this year.
“We have some pretty good
results at some big tourna-ments,” Choboy said. “What we have to do now as a team, is do it consistently. This team has a lot of talent but we have to turn in more consistent per-formances match in and match out.”
Players and coaches alike be-lieve competition in practice is
an important element the team has.
“The competition in practice is probably the biggest reason we had a solid fall,” Rollinson said. “Everyone is pushing each other in practice and everybody wants it, so it’s making every-
