Chelsey FrancisCorrespondent

As a part of the campus-wide Howl For Haiti relief program, Park Schol-ars and the College of Textiles part-nered to host the Date For The Quake event Saturday in Talley Student Cen-ter Ballroom.

Howl For Haiti is the campus-wide disaster relief effort started in Janu-ary with the purpose of aiding Haitian earthquake victims.

In a letter to the student body about Howl For Haiti, Student Body Presi-dent Jim Ceresnak said, “This will be a collective effort of our entire cam-pus community to raise funds for Stop Hunger Now, our traditional philan-thropy partner that has been charged with providing immediate relief to earthquake victims.”

Date For the Quake included a fashion show, which was hosted by the College of Textiles; a date auc-tion, hosted by the Park Scholars and live music. The music was provided by

three local bands, Carolina Roadkill, Arielle Bryant and Endeavour.

Yesenia Perez Olmedo, a freshman in First Year College who attended the fashion show, said “The fashion show was really good. I learned that N.C. State has a fashion major, which I didn’t know before going to the fash-ion show.”

Ashley Thornton, a junior in fash-ion and textile management and a co-director of the fashion show, said “Planning and putting on a fashion show requires a lot of people. Person-a l ly, I was in charge of choos-ing the order of the models, and making sure the timing was right during the show.”

The designs at the fashion show ranged from everyday, ready-to-wear clothes and more artistic designs that aren’t for everyday wear.

Thornton said, “The designers were awesome to work with before the show. On the day of the show, the models were great and the timing was absolutely perfect.”

Overall, Thornton and co-director Sarah Linville, a junior in fashion and textile management, were very pleased with the way the fashion show turned out.

“The attendance for the Date For The Quake event was great,” Thorn-ton said. “We were really happy that a lot of people attended the fashion show itself.”

Ceresnak, who served as the date auctioneer, said, “The pa r t ic i-pants of the date auction all had a great sense of hu-mor, the people really seemed to love the auction. O ver a l l , t h i s whole event was great.”

Pattie Hofland, a junior in fash-ion and textile

management, and Rachel Conley, a junior in fisheries and wildlife sci-ences, approached Cresenak about putting on this event.

Cresenak said, “The big thank you for this event needs to go out to Rachel Conley and Pattie Hofland and all the

ROTC holds aviation training labNational Guard lends helicopters to give cadets hands on training experience

Annie AlbrightNews Editor

Army ROTC partnered with the N.C. National Guard last Friday to coordinate a hands on aviation lab for its cadets.

Josh Berrian, cadet officer in charge of the aviation lab, said it gave the youngest cadets a chance to partici-pate in a land and air simulation.

“Our cadre coordinated with the N.C. National Guard to get the two black hawks in for us to use,” Ber-rian said. “Basically what happened is we did a simulation of an air in-sertion. The MS-1 cadets were flown throughout the grounds of Dorthea Dix, where they were then presented with a movement-to-contact mission, where they faced other cadets acting as an enemy opposing force.”

Berrian said the cadets are grouped by year, MS-1 representing first year military science students, MS-2 rep-resenting second year and so on. The experience, he said, was mainly for the freshmen and sophomores.

“It is really good hands on experi-ence with equipment that they may be responsible for using when they grad-uate and get into what we call the big army, or the real army,” Berrian said.

“It prepares them for future summer training, like when they go to IDAC between their junior and senior years because they will be doing a helicop-ter exertion into a simulated area of operations.”

Cadet Lieutenant, Sage Boyd, said the lab gave the opportunity for sev-eral new experiences. She said several students had never flown on a heli-copter before.

“I remember when I first heard about it,” Boyd said. “I was really nervous about it because I thought it was going to be really rough in the he-licopter but it was so much smoother than I thought, the landing was even smooth.”

Berrian said there was a lot that went into the planning.

“It was kind of a tandem planning operation between myself and the bra-vo company cadre,” Berrian said. “So we had to come up with a flight plan, different chopper lifts, and what not, to coordinate the movements between MS-1’s and MS-2’s.”

The second part of the training, he said, was a ground exercise.

“Once the cadets were on the ground and they had dismounted the aircraft, I was responsible for briefing them in operations order, which essentially outlines the mission that they were about to complete,” Berrian said.

Planning for the lab, Berrian said,

Freshmen will receive AllCampus cards with improved technology and multiple uses

Chelsey FrancisCorrespondent

Incoming freshmen will be is-sued an updated AllCampus card that will minimize the number of cards students need to carry.

Michael Smith, the AllCampus network office manager, said the new cards would increase f lex-ibility.

“The new cards will have a mag-netic strip, which will serve the same purpose as the strip on the current cards,” Smith said. “This strip is used for the AllCampus account, Board Bucks and meal plans. There will also be another strip on the new cards, which will be used for the WolfCopy ac-count.”

Smith said the cards would also change the way campus buildings

are accessed. “The new cards will also have a piece

of technology in them which will al-low entrance into restricted areas,” Smith said. “They will have the prox. card imbedded in them, which will make entrance as easy as swiping the AllCampus card.”

Yesenia Perez Olmedo, a freshman in First Year College, said she likes the new idea, but also has reservations.

“Overall, it’s a good idea,” she said. “It’s less to carry and less to worry about losing; but at the same time, if you lose that one card, you’re pretty much screwed.”

Smith said the new card would also have additional space on it to allow for added technology. Each additional piece of technology added to the card, he said, will have to be approved by the AllCampus card committee.

“For example, there could be a pro-gram added to the cards of all the stu-dents in a certain lab that need access to an expensive microscope, therefore, making access as easy as swiping the card,” Smith said.

An expiration date will also be in-

cluded on the new cards, Smith said. On the expiration date, he said, the AllCampus Card will stop working and a new one can be issued if it is determined the student has a contin-ued need for the card.

Deirdre Deane, sophomore in math-ematics education and resident advi-sor, said the new card is especially good for freshmen students.

“The new card is a good idea for the simple fact that it will keep everything together,” Deane said. “It will be one less thing for freshmen to keep up with.”

Smith said it would not be necessary for current students to update their card, but that the fee for replacing new cards will be increased due to the added technology. This technology, he said, would also make the cards ex-pensive, so the University is trying to minimize costs by not reissuing cards to all current students.

“There is no need for everyone to have a new card. Your current card will work,” Smith said.

“This event just goes to show how incredible the Howl For Haiti fundraising campaign has been. Anything that raises awareness about a world event and money to go to the victims at the same time is great. All the events that have been held as a part of Howl for Haiti have been great,” Ceresnak said.

Howl for Haiti has been an ongoing series of events since

the earthquakes hit Haiti on January 12. The initial earth-quake has been called the strongest earthquake to hit Haiti since 1770. In addition to the major earthquake, the island nation experienced 33 aftershocks.

“The Howl for Haiti events have all been creative ideas,” Ceresnak said. “All these events and [the] support show how willing N.C. State students are to do anything they can to support the community and the world.”

was also a valuable learning experience for himself.

“When I graduate I will be commissioned as a mili-tary intelligence officer and I will be stationed in a fort in upstate New York,” Ber-rian said. “As an officer you

are responsible for planning different training operations so it was definitely a valuable learning experience. The plan-ning and leadership skills we have gained during these labs will definitely show when we are in the real army.”

Another reason the train-ing is important, Boyd said, is morale.

“It’s a nice end of year thing to do. It gets people excited to

be in ROTC,” Boyd said. “Ev-eryone who did it was really ecstatic about it. It is great for both retention and boosting morale.”

The next step for ROTC, Ber-rian said, is the field training exercise at Camp Butner next weekend.

“It is planned and run by the MS-4 and it is primarily training for the three younger levels,” Berrian said. “They will

be doing basic rifle marksman-ship and repelling. They will be doing patrolling lanes and they are going on a road march.”

“It starts from the ground up,” Shook said. “If you have inf luence at the local level, you’ll have inf luence at the state level and then national level.”

McDowell said his experienc-es at the General Assembly and seeing how the other political

party operates have changed his perspective of politics. He said involvement with local politics is necessary for anyone trying to get somewhere in the political realm.

“You get a lot more experi-ence and a lot more under-standing of the system through involvement in [local poli-tics],” he said.

McDowell said the first thing politically-interested students

usually do is join either the College Republicans or Col-lege Democrats organization.

“That offers the best oppor-tunity to get involved in cam-paigns and move their way up,” he said.

Pittman said his proudest moment was on the day of the presidential election between Barack Obama and John Mc-Cain, when he and other students were handing out campaign literature in rainy weather beginning as early as 5 a.m.

“I remember watching the returns coming in last year and on CNN they zoomed in on Wake County. They were looking at the work we were do-ing here and how it was affect-ing the national race,” he said. “That was really a gratifying moment and got me involved.”

Shook said running for a public office has definitely been a tough but rewarding experi-ence.

“It’s a tough fight,” Shook said. “But it’s been the greatest experience.”

Ches McDowell, a junior in politi-cal science, said his interest in local politics started at a very early age.

“When I was very young, my par-ents took me to all kinds of politic stuff,” McDowell said. “We’re a very political family, but it wasn’t re-ally until I got to college that I got super involved in the party.”

McDowell said he became presi-dent of the Col-lege Republicans organization and worked on every campaign on the 2008 ballot, from McCain to the city council.

“I’ve met all kinds of great peo-ple,” he said. “With my job that I’m in now at the General Assembly, I’ve really learned a lot about campaign-ing in elections. That’s a lot more than you’ll ever learn sitting in a classroom.”

Clay Pittman, a junior in political science, said the excitement of last year’s presidential election really

got him interested in becoming in-volved with the College Democrats organization on campus.

“Through them, I started getting more involved in the local govern-ment,” he said.

Pittman began working as an as-sistant campaign manager for Stan Norwalk, a Wake County commis-sioner, and interned on the Barack Obama campaign. Not much later Pittman became president of the College Democrats.

Madison Shook, a junior in po-litical science, began interning for the N.C. Republican Party last fall, which really motivated her to fur-ther her involvement at the local

level. On Feb. 25, she filed for N.C. House of Repre-sentatives District 38.

She said she was interested in run-ning for public of-fice since an early age.

All three stu-dents stressed the importance of lo-

cal politics and the importance of getting involved.

Pittman said local governments have a more direct impact on the lives of citizens than the federal government.

“The small local government races are really where true change gets made,” he said.

Shook said she agrees.

Campus ‘Habitat’ chapter plans to make a difference

While many students will be attempting to catch up on their sleep from a long week of classes on Saturday morning, some will be partaking in a more meaningful activity.

On April 17, the N.C. State Habitat for Humanity Cam-pus Chapter will host its 11th Annual House Your Neighbor 10K, 5K and Fun Run, which will be held on Centennial Campus to benefit Habitat for Humanity of Wake County.

Known by many simply as the organization that builds houses for the less fortunate, Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit, Christian organi-zation dedicated to developing meaningful partnerships in the community to build affordable homes for people in need of some additional assistance.

According to N.C. State chap-ter president Kristin Hoke, the campus chapter’s goals aren’t that much different.

“Our campus chapter aims to provide opportunities to students to get involved with Habitat for Humanity,” Hoke said.

In order to do this, the group serves to educate, advocate and – perhaps most notably – fund-raise. This upcoming weekend, Habitat will tap into all three of these goals with the House Your Neighbor Race.

At the center of the race is Luisa Jaramillo, one of the fundraising officers for the campus chapter of Habitat for Humanity.

“The race itself is put togeth-er by the fundraising team,” Jaramillo said. “I kind of took it under my wings and have

been working on it since last semester.”

Unlike past years, the cam-pus chapter got some addi-tional help from Bike & Build, a non-profit organization that organizes cross-country bicycle trips to benefit affordable hous-ing groups.

“This year, we got a grant from Bike & Build to put the race together, so everything that we make from the people that register and run is 100% profit for Habitat for Human-ity,” Jaramillo said.

According to Jaramillo, this year’s event is sure to be dif-ferent than races f rom past years.

In fact, this year marks the first year that a 10K race will be included in the event.

“There are a lot of 5K’s g o i n g o n right now be-cause April’s a really busy mont h for races,” Jara-mi l lo sa id. “ S o t h e thought pro-cess behind the 10K was to have another way to get more of the student population involved.”

Over the course of the past few years, the event has grown tremendously, often bringing in as much as $8,000.

“Past races have been pretty good. One year we got up to

about 300 runners,” Hoke said. “This year we really expected a good race because we added a 10K, so we were hoping to get more runners out to make our race stand out more than oth-ers in the area and to spread the word about Habitat.”

Last year, however, the par-ticipation level was not what Jaramillo and her fellow offi-cers hoped for.

“Last year we only had par-ticipation from about 80 peo-ple,” Jaramillo said.

Alumna Molly Widmyer is one of the individuals who par-ticipated in the race last year.

“I fou nd out about the race when I participated in a break trip with Habitat, and I was re-ally into their idea and I just thought it was a great plan,” Widmyer said.

Widmyer said she hopes that more stu-dents would consider do-ing the same.

As of right n o w , a p -proximately

120 people have registered to participate in the races – al-ready an increase from last year. However, according to Jaramillo, they are still shy of their goal.

“We didn’t have a number as far as money goes, but we had a race participant goal of around

200,” she said.Jaramillo said she and the

other members of the cam-pus chapter hope more people will consider registering over the course of the next couple of days in order to make sure that they reach that goal.

According to Widmyer, one reason for students to consider participating in the race is to learn more about the organi-zation.

For example, throughout the race, HabiFacts – or Habitat for Humanity facts – are distrib-uted to the runners in the race, which Widmyer said is unique in comparison to a lot of other races.

Adding to this is the overall experience that one gets from participating in an event of this nature Widmyer said.

“You have the experience of being there with a group of people and seeing the effects because usually there are ho-meowners that run as well,” she said. “So, you can actually talk to people who have partici-pated in Habitat program and have become success stories because of it.”

“Registration is still open, and people can register all throughout this week and the day of the race as well,” Jara-millo said.

Hoke even said that she and other Habitat members will step up their campus outreach this week.

“We’re really looking to get at least between 150 and 200 peo-ple,” Hoke said. “We’re going to be out in the Brickyard trying to get students to register this week. We’re pretty sure that we

can break the 150 mark.”Regardless of whether

or not they meet this goal, however, Jaramillo main-tains her sense of pride in the organization that she serves.

“It’s just exciting to see it all finally coming together,” Jaramillo said. “I wish the numbers were a bit higher, but I’m excited to see what the final numbers will be, and I hope that it is an en-joyable event for everyone who participates.”

nineonenineN.C. lawmakers take a closer look at medical tax

Last year the General Assembly passed legislation that increased taxes on retail customers, drinkers and smokers in order to help balance the state budget. If the legislators have their way, health care providers could be next.

When legislative leaders return, they will begin work on the second part of the two-year budget, which could create a hospital or health provider tax that could bring in nearly three times as much money in federal matching funds for Medicaid.

Tax refunds on the way

After refund delays being reported, North Carolina tax officials say that refunds are back on track after suffering a delay earlier in the year as a result of slow cash flow. This is not the first time that this has happened. In fact, last year the state encountered the same problem. According to the Revenue Department, tax return filers who meet the April 15 deadline should have refunds by mid-May.

Beginning April 14, the University Theatre will be showing Macbeth in Titmus Theatre in Thompson Hall. The University Theatre’s production of Macbeth will take place in the dark, forgotten corners of the city where survival is as fleeting as the next meal. The players are lost people who live on the streets and must constantly strive for dominance in a society of uncertainty. Can ambition be filled when the belly is empty?

The U.S. and Soviet Union spent a large por-tion of the post-World

War II era trying to match each other in a conventional- and nuclear-arms race. Even 20 years after the end of the Soviet Union, the combined nuclear arsenal of Russia and the U.S. still exceeds 20,000 warheads.

The newly announced treaty forged by Russian President Dmitri Medvedev and Presi-dent Barack Obama will re-duce the strategically deployed level from the START II level of 2,200 warheads to 1,550 for each country, but doesn’t pro-vide any real benefit to the U.S. or its allies.

In fact, when taken in union with Obama’s Nuclear Posture

Review, the U.S. has dramati-cally weakened its nuclear po-sition.

Obama’s stated goal of a nu-clear-free world is naïve and fails to address the important role deterrence plays. Likewise, his promise in the review to never use nuclear force against non-nuclear nations, even if they attack the U.S. or its allies with non-conventional weap-ons, completely undermines our nuclear presence.

The entire point of having a nuclear deterrent is being able to point to it, as the U.S. did during the Cold War, to show

the consequences of aggressive action.

It’s an inherently flawed con-cept that essentially invites the U.S.’s enemies to use dirty means against us with the promise that they’ll only face conventional retaliation.

The new deployment to-tal, while certainly a goodwill showing, has little to no mean-ing in light of the destructive power those arsenals have; the Earth would still be reduced to ash if 3,100 nuclear warheads were scattered across the plan-et.

When the Kremlin crumbled,

nuclear arms ceased to be an issue of protection from Rus-sia; but they remained an in-credibly powerful deterrent for an increasingly indebted su-perpower.

Obama’s desire to make the world a safer place is honor-able, but too many countries rely on America’s nuclear dominance as a means for their own protection for him to give out such dramatic concessions.

As a result, nuclear prolif-eration could actually gain momentum if more countries feel threatened by the U.S.’s an-nouncement to stop being the world’s nuclear umbrella.

The unsigned editorial is the opinion of the members of Technician’s editorial board excluding the news department and is the responsibility

of the Executive Editors.

The power of nuclear deterrenceThe FacTs:President Barack Obama recently signed a treaty with Russia to curb the total number of deployed nuclear warheads to 1,550. He also rewrote the U.S.’s nuclear posture.

Our OpiniOn:Making the world a safer place is always noble. Weakening the U.S.’s nuclear deterrence ability, thereby making the world more dangerous, isn’t so noble.

Has your gaming gone too far?

A popular past time a m o n g t o d a y ’s young people is

play ing v ideo games. They’ve have taken the

place of the board and card games of the past because of the at-tractive interactive qualities. A person can spend hours en-

gaged in a virtual game of their choice; they control the action. The downside is that medical and mental health professionals seem to think this type of fun can turn into an addiction.

How does one know how much gaming is too much gaming? One major red flag of video game addiction is withdrawal. A gaming ad-dict will withdraw from peer and family circles in order to play a game. The game becomes his or her sole concern, supplanting other relationships. In or-der to hide the addiction, the person may lie about how many hours he or she plays the game and try to rationalize why it is not a big deal.

A gaming addict’s school and work performance suf-fers immensely. If he or she is in school, the person’s

grades will drop due to game obsession. A person in the workforce with video game addiction begins to be late for and miss work regularly. This can result in the loss of a job in addition to future employment problems.

A gaming addict will also misuse his or her money when it comes to video games. In-stead of paying bills or buy-ing food, the gaming ad-d i c t w i l l spend entire-ly too much m on e y on technology to upgrade a gaming sys-tem or buy new games unnecessarily. The video game addict will think obsessively about gaming instead of the more important things in his or her life. These may include forgetting to shower, eat, pay bills and spend quality time with his or her loved ones.

Video game addiction can also cause physical complica-tions for an individual. The addict may develop carpal tun-nel syndrome, even migraines. Because the gamer is seated for hours upon hours, back pain can ensue; the stiffness and soreness could turn into more chronic back problems.

Sleep disturbances are also a big sign of gaming addiction. Narcolepsy, insomnia and sleep apnea can all result from the

misuse of gaming technol-ogy. Lesser-known sleep disorders such as nocturnal myoclonus (periodic leg or arms jerks during sleep) and parasomnia (sleepwalking, talking in your sleep and nightmares) can also occur.

Studies have shown that people who are considered awkward or shy are at a greater risk of developing

a v i d e o game ad-diction. Males more so a t t h a n females. To coun-teract this make sure you have

something productive to do with your free time — preferably something social. Joining a club or organiza-tion can be fun and socially stimulating.

Video games are not the enemy and should never be thought of as such. As long as they are played in mod-eration — like anything else in life — they will not cause a problem. If you or someone you know may be suffering from a video game addiction, contact a men-tal health professional that is equiped to handle such things. For more informa-tion on video game addic-tion, consider: http://www.video-game-addiction.org.

Marlena WilsonStaff Columnist

History — the lie of the century

Bob McDonnell, the gov-ernor of Virginia, set himself in the middle of

a category-5 media storm the last couple weeks as a result of

his proclama-tion declaring Apr i l 2010, “Confeder-ate His tor y Month.”

Despite the long record of months cel-ebrating the history of the Confederacy

— particularly in Virginia, the former capital of the Confed-erate States of America — the decree, at the behest of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, drew the ire of the NAACP and Vir-ginia Legislative Black Caucus because it failed to mention one of America’s most profound blemishes, slavery.

As a result of the slip, which he subsequently corrected with a second statement bash-ing slavery with a 9-iron, lib-eral pundits have taken him to town on the issue — portraying him as a racist prick.

These images of McDonnell certainly miss his intentions and long history of equitable and bold advocacy on the behalf of Virginians. But in the end, all the complaining doesn’t matter anyway.

History, for all intents and purposes, has become ir-relevant. Why, you may ask? Because history is just a story, it’s not really an account of the facts. History textbooks are no less slanted than this column. They portray an unconscio-nable bias and fail to produce a true picture — they’re more modernism, less Baroque.

Confederate History Month — nor any history month — has reason for celebration be-cause the books don’t allow for an accurate reflection on the events. History isn’t the final draft of events, it’s the subjec-tive end that celebrates the win-ners and vilifies the losers.

I’ll illustrate the point for you with an analysis of Thomas Jef-ferson and Jefferson Davis. One is idolized as the quintessential founding father, while the oth-er is ridiculed as a leader in one of America’s darkest hours.

Are the two really that dif-ferent, though? Jefferson was a slave owner and xenophobe who opposed women’s suffrage and was at the forefront of the anti-federalist movement. His moral objections to slavery

are well documented, but they surely weren’t strong enough for him to set his slaves free, which would have caused him to default on his debt and live a life of poverty. That’s not quite the same as the image of the proud statesman, who served as president, ambassador to France and secretary of war.

Now, let’s reflect on Davis. He was also a slave owner and anti-federalist, but was revered as a war hero and public servant when he served as Franklin Pierce’s secretary of war and was outspoken in his belief that succession was wrong for the country.

Are they really that different? Or for that matter, is Davis any different from his fellow West Point graduate Robert E. Lee, who also opposed succession, but is now remembered as a bold hero on both sides of the Mason-Dixon? No.

If we take an honest apprais-al of the men, Jefferson could have easily been a leader of the Confederacy had he lived another 30 years. A lifelong Virginian and anti-federalist would have probably made the same choice Lee made.

History is written by the winners, and it’s just not that interesting without the villains. Lucas cast Vader, World War II had Hitler and Americans have Davis.

I’m not trying to make an ar-gument for slavery or the obvi-ous faults of America’s forefa-thers. But I am trying to point out an obvious truth: history is reliable at telling us what we want to hear, not what actually happened.

Davis wasn’t a villain, he was a concerned American who identified with half of the country in the 1850s; Hitler may have been crazy, but he brought millions of Germans out of the poverty the Treaty of Versailles inflicted on them after World War I; and Vader was nothing more than a pre-cocious boy from Tatooine who never had a strong father figure.

Confederate History Month is a farce, but not because Mc-Donnell failed to mention slav-ery. It’s a joke because history is politically motivated and inherently subjective.

Don’t fret though — I hear pre-1887 history is going out of style anyway.

5k funds help send club teams to NationalsSpring Fling race on Centennial Campus Sunday helps raise money for Club Sports

Samantha Collier Staff Writer

Campus Recreation held its second annual Spring Fling 5k Run on Sunday to help raise money for N.C. State club teams to be able to afford to go to Nationals.

Participants gathered along the start-ing line at 10:30 a.m for a 3.1 mile loop around Centennial Campus. Some con-testants looked like they could sprint around the entire course, while others needed to keep a slow and steady pace so they could finish the race.

Dasha Karelov, a senior in paper science and chemical engineering, was the women’s first place winner, finishing the course in 21 minutes and 37 seconds.

Karelov, a frequent partici-pant in charity races, ran the

5k last year to help support the ski and snowboard club. She returned this year because she enjoys running and wanted to help out.

“I just like running some races, and this one is pretty low key,” said Karelov.

The men’s winner, Sebron Jessup, a senior in agricultural science, finished in 17 minutes and 22 seconds.

“I knew I ran the kind of race I wanted to run and I had given it everything I had to give,” said Jessup. “It was a lot of fun. I had

my fiancé wait-ing at the finish line for me, so what could be better?”

Jessup, who is also in club cross country and runs about 60 miles a week, sa id that the ha rde s t pa r t about the course were the hills, but they went by pretty quickly

once he got into the flow.As the finish line came into

sight, Jessup had to find the motivation to finish out strong.

“You had to really decide you wanted to do it, and go all out, give it everything you have and not hold anything back,” said Jessup. “I thought about how I wanted to feel after the race rather than how I felt right

then, which made me push harder.”

This year the event had 56 participants, including both students and non-affiliates. Sponsors such as Omega, Ath-letes Foot, and Team Connec-tions donated prizes and of-fered giveaways.

Men’s and women’s first and second place winners took

home prize packs including gift cards and apparel. First place winner’s prize packs included a visor, a water bottle, an Adi-das book bag, a $20 gift card to Omega and a $75 gift card to Athletes Foot.

“The most successful part of the day was that everyone had a lot of fun,” Student Director for Club Sports Bailey Wilson said.

“Everyone stayed around to see who won the prizes. Everyone was cheering everyone on even if they didn’t know each other.”

Campus Recreation holds two events to help raise mon-ey for Club sports: the Spring Fling 5k and Cornhole-A-Palooza. This is only the sec-ond year that these events have been held, so the coordinators

are still finding ways to make them the best that they can be.

After the positive response following Friday‘s Cornhole-A-Palooza, Campus Recreation is planning on partnering with Intramural Sports so that they can combine the two events, making one big event with food and a band.

Softball avoids sweep at No.16 Flordia StateAfter dropping both games of a Saturday doubleheader at Florida State, 4-2 and 5-0, State salvaged the last game, 3-1, in large part thanks to the pitching of Lindsay Campana. Sophomore Landon Warren had a pair of RBIs and Campana (16-6) pitched the entire game while allowing only three hits. State improved to 24-17 on the year and 7-5 in the ACC. The team will return to action Wednesday in a doubleheader against East Carolina.

However, the team will send senior Taylor Seaman to the NCAA Championships after she finished sixth in the all-around with a score of 39.00 and was the highest-scoring competitor that was not a member of the two teams advancing. She will compete at NCAAs for the second consecutive year as an individual; last year, she competed in the floor exercise. Sophomore Jess Panza just missed the final spot in all-around.

Pack takes third in first Wolfpack IntercollegiatePlayers don pink in honor of coach’s wife, who is battling breast cancer

 Kate ShefteSports Editor

 The Pack took third place 

at the Wolfpack Intercolle-giate  this  weekend  at  the Lonnie Poole Golf Course on  Centennial  Campus. The  course  provided  a challenge for golfers from around the ACC in its inau-gural collegiate tournament and garnered rave reviews.

  “It  was  really  well-run by everybody  involved.  It should get better and bet-ter every year,” senior Brad Revell said.

 A trio of Tobacco Road teams  took  the  top  three spots  in  the  tournament standings.  UNC-Chapel Hill led the field at the con-clusion of play Friday and held on for the win, finish-ing eight strokes over and beating second place Duke by seven strokes.

  The  Wolfpack  battled through windy conditions Friday to secure a second-place  finish  through  two rounds. Though the team finished strong with its best performance of the tourna-ment Saturday, that elusive first place finish eluded it on home soil. N.C. State came in third at 20-over.

  However,  there  were more meaningful, lingering concerns for the entire Pack team. The players donned pink collared shirts instead of State’s signature red in honor  of  longtime  head coach Richard Sykes’ wife Pam, who is battling breast cancer.

 “We were all really excit-ed when we heard we were 

wearing pink,”  senior Adam Hogue said. “We all support Pam. I hear she’s doing well, which is good. We’re just glad to  help  out  and  support  the cause.”

 State’s golfers did her proud last  weekend.  Duke’s  Adam Long escaped with individual medalist honors as his birdie on the 17th hole gave him the one-stroke win.

 State’s Hogue jumped from 19th Friday to a second-place finish Saturday, a career high. He  was  just  one  stroke  off Long’s score at 215. Hogue shot a team high - five birdies in the final round, including two on the final two holes of the tour-nament.

 “I made less mistakes, made more  puts,  and  got  a  lower score,”  Hogue  said.  “The weather was a little better and the course was playing a little bit easier. All in all, [Saturday] was a good day.”

 Hogue said he was glad he unintentionally saved his best for last in the only on-campus tournament he will be a part of at N.C. State.

 “It was fun having it out here my senior year,” Hogue said. “I’ve had some troubles in the past and I’m finally starting to get it together. I’m trying to go out on a high note and finish strong.” 

State entered five individual golfers  into  the  tournament, and  one  participant,  junior Brandon Detweiler, came close to cracking the top-10. He fin-ished at five-over and tied for twelfth place.

 Junior and defending indi-vidual NCAA champion Matt Hill  was  two-over  in  each round of play and finished in 15th  place.  Revell  struggled in  the  final  two  rounds  and finished last on his team at 16-over.

 Revell used two words to de-

scribe his performance at the Wolfpack Invitational: “abso-lutely awful.”

  “I  was  pretty  confident coming  in and  it  just wasn’t meant to be, I guess,” Revell 

said.      The Pack will have  a week off to practice before the ACC  Championship,  which will take place April 23-25 at the Old North State Club  in New London, N.C.

Pack suffers setback in Chapel Hill, dropping Sunday’s game, 9-6

Dan SmithCorrespondent

  N.C.  State  traveled  to Chapel  Hill  for  an  im-portant three-game series against UNC Friday night. Despite suffering a loss to UNC in the first game, the Pack  rebounded  to  win game two in a blowout of its own, but was unable to pull out a victory on Sunday.

 In game one, the Wolf-pack  hurt  itself  with  five errors and g a v e   u p three runs or more in a single in-ning three t i mes  i n the  game. Starting pitcher Ja ke  Bu-chanan,  a junior, got the loss, giving up seven runs total, two of which were earned. 

The team’s numerous er-rors and unearned runs cast a shadow over a solid hitting performance against Caro-lina ace Matt Harvey, one of the best pitchers in the country, according to Pack head coach Elliott Avent.

  “It  was  a  typical  N.C. State - UNC game,” Avent said.

 The Pack  roared back  into 

game two, defeating UNC 14-6 in another high-scoring affair. Relief pitcher Grant Sasser pro-vided three and a third score-less  innings,  giving  up  only one hit after his entrance into the game in the sixth inning. His strong performance out of the pen turned a wild scoring spree from both teams into a one-sided victory for State.

 Game three on Sunday was played at a much faster pace, as both State pitcher Alex Sogard and UNC pitcher Chris Mun-nelly  managed  to  keep  both teams  scoreless  until  Wolf-pack shortstop Matt Bergquist 

broke the tie with a single that  drove i n   C h r i s Schaeffer  in the  fifth  in-ning. 

UNC  an-swered  the Pack’s  score w i t h   t w o runs  in  the 

bottom  of  the  sixth  inning, with one of their runs coming on a controversial balk call by home plate umpire Scott Cline.

 “That was the first time I’ve ever  seen  a  balk  called  with runners on second and third,” Avent  said. “But  [Cline]  is a good umpire, a real good um-pire, and he thought the balk was blatant.”

Bergquist said he wasn’t look-ing at the time of the play, so he had to rely on his teammates’ 

takes on what happened.  “You  always  believe  your 

teammate  and  [pitcher  An-thony Tzamtzis] said he didn’t, so we believe him,” Bergquist added. 

The Pack responded to the change  in  the  lead  with  two runs of its own to retake a nar-row 3-2 lead in the top of the seventh inning. Dallas Poulk’s double  scored  Tarran  Senay and put Kyle Wilson on third. He scored on a ground out by Drew Poulk on the very next at bat.

 “If not for [UNC shortstop] Graepel making a great play 

there, Drew would have had a single there and we could have kept  the  rally  going,”  Avent said.

 In the bottom of the seventh, State fell victim to the prover-bial “big inning.” After giving up a leadoff triple, it appeared reliever  Anthony  Tzamatzis would pitch his way out of the jam after getting two outs with the runner still stuck at third. It was then that the wheels came off and UNC began a two-out rally that would end with six runs.  After  adding  another run in the eighth, it looked as though the Tar Heels were well 

on their way to an easy 9-3 win. But the Wolfpack did not go 

quietly, scoring three runs to cut the lead to three runs in a wild ninth  inning comeback bid. State managed to get the tying run to the plate with two men on base before the rally finally came to an end.

 Despite the loss, Avent was upbeat  regarding  the  team’s performance.

“We coaches have to coach better,” Avent said. “The play-ers played well.”
