According to Rudolph, whenever you go in for an interview, the first thing future employers do is Google your name. If you have a Facebook, they will read it. You should always make deactivate your account prior to searching for a job. “We’re a society that doesn’t know how share space without social interaction,” Rudolph said.

In a job interview or professional function, Schroeder said students need to focus on creatingengaging conversations that delve into both parties’ interests. You need to make sure you talk about things other than you. “I don’t like the word ‘networking,’ but making connections to develop one on one connections. One of the classic mistakes students make is they think it’s all about them. They feel like they have to sell themselves, when they really need to figure out how to engage the person they are meeting and learn a bit about the other person to create and continue memorable conversations,” Schroeder said.

Email is great to use for scheduling things, but it should never be used as a substitute for face to face interactions. When you are sending emails, you should always reply to the email and not start a new thread. As well, make sure you sign your emails with your name, not just your initials. Rudolph said you should generally give someone 24 hours to respond to emails. however, if you need a quicker response, you should always call. “Never send me an email that says you’re still waiting for my response. The phone works,” Rudolph said.

The proper way to shake someone’s hand is with your right hand so the base of your thumbs meet, followed by a few pumps originating from your elbow, not your shoulder. The only instance where shaking hands is not allowed, is when you are ill. However, it is necessary to explain why you are refusing the handshake. “Having strong body language, a firm handshake and a confident smile goes a long way in these situations,” Schroeder said.

According to Rudolph, women should never sit with their knees crossed, because it is unprofessional. “Showing your bare legs is an act of seduction. Your bare leg is put forward and your skirt is hiked up,” Rudolph said. As well, when you are standing, don’t lean against the wall, as it takes away 99 percent of your perceived power. “The more causal you are with

someone, the looser your lips are,” Rudolph said. Therefore, you should always sit in a chair with a straight back. Women should keep their legs crossed at the ankles. Men should sit with both feet firmly on the ground. Showing the soles of your feet is considered the dirtiest part of the body in some cultures.

Do give your full attention to the person you are talking to, not to your phone. Rudolph suggested an easy way to make sure you aren’t distracted by your phone while in a meeting or interview is to leave your phone in the car. However, if you are expecting an important call, Rudolph said to make sure you warn the person you are speaking with that you are expecting it. Rudolph said, “If you answer your phone while talking to me, I’ll turn and walk away because you didn’t excuse yourself. Your time is not more important than mine.”

Employees required to report sex offenses.

Justin RoseStaff Writer

In light of recent events on campus, N.C. State employees and students are encouraged to uphold their respon-sibilities if they are aware of a crime on campus. University employees are required to report any information about sexual assaults through Clery Act reporting.

The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Cam-pus Crime Statistics Act, better known as the Clery Act, is a federal statute enacted in 1990 that requires universities to disclose certain safety information and crime statistics. It is named after Jeanne Clery, a 19-year-old college student who was raped and murdered by a fellow student at Lehigh University in 1986.

The Clery Act requires the univer-sity to publish an annual security re-port containing crime statistics for the previous three years as well as a public crime log, which details the past two months’ worth of reported crime information. In mid-April 2011, the Act was updated by the fed-eral Campus Sexual Violence Elimi-nation Act, endorsed by Security on Campus, Inc., a national non-profit organization.

According to a SOC press release, the Campus SaVE Act updates the Clery Act by providing “a better framework for the sexual assault edu-cation and victims’ rights currently offered by colleges and universities, and expanding them to also cover domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking.”

The update to the Clery Act’s pro-visions reflects the lessons learned about what works to prevent cam-

Macsot’s wolfpack poisoned Members of Tuffy the mascot’s family have been poisioned.

John WallStaff Writer

Tuffy, a Tamascan bred dog and the University’s chosen canine mascot, is safe and sound and under “stepped up security,” but four of Tuffy’s pack, including her father and mother, have been maliciously poisoned with a near-lethal antifreeze agent, according to Christina Bannow, Tuffy’s pack owner.

A neighbor dug a hole near the fence guarding Tuffy’s pack in

Elizabeth City, N.C., and then plant-ed antifreeze-laced fish where Tuffy’s pack could smell and then dig up the fish, according to Bannow. They proceeded to dig up the contami-nated f ish, and then were sent to veterinarians at Pasquotank Animal Hospi-tal. Tuffy was not with his pack, and therefore not exposed to the poison.

One of the pack has been released, while the other three were moved to

a Virginia hospital and remain there, according to Bannow.

There are two main types of ac-tive ingredients in two separately available forms of anitfreeze: one genera l ly safe, and one gener-ally deadly. Ethyl-ene glycol, which causes acute renal failure in canines, generally causes

canine death within 24 to 36 hours, according to Clinical Associate Profes-sor Steve Marks.

“It’s often hard to know if an ani-mal has ingested this sort of poison be-cause it takes several hours for the ef-fects to become apparent,” said Marks. Marks also said symptoms include vomiting, apaxio, and a drunken gate.

Propylene glycol is considered to be less fatal, according to Marks. How-ever, both active ingredients have a “sweet flavor,” to which canines are attracted by both smell and taste.

Tuffy’s pack was poisoned with the more deadly antifreeze agent, evi-denced by their “acting drunk.”

Animals also appear intoxicated following the ingestion of ethylene

On Friday over 1,000 will gather on Lee field to attempt to break a Guinness World Record.

Anja DavisStaff Writer

On Friday, April 29, N.C. State Office of Health Promo-tion, in conjunction with UAB, Campus Recreation and the P.E. department will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the world’s largest Zumba class.

Marianne Turnbull, the di-rector of Health Promotions, said that this year the Office of Health Promotion’s theme has been “your health sustains you.” It involved a six part se-ries that highlighted the Well-ness Model, with the final seg-ment concentrating on physical well-being.

“Our office feels that success-ful students can measure their growth as a person in devel-oping a well-rounded and bal-anced lifestyle at N.C. State,” said James Byars, a graduate student in higher education administration.

“We wanted to explore new techniques and bring an inno-vative spin to the programming aspect of Health Promotions,”

said Jennifer Moore, a senior in biological sciences, and Office of Health Promotion intern.

Moore said, “Zumba has been growing in popularity and there were great resources within our own campus rec center to utilize.”

“We thought we had an origi-nal idea, but apparently other schools have attempted [the record] or getting ready to,” said Byars.

“There is a lot of strong com-petition in the next few weeks from schools like Baylor Uni-versity,” said Byars, “we want N.C. State to have the record. To be safe we need at least 1,200 participants.”

Because their Facebook event has 989 confirmations, the Of-fice of Health Promotion is ex-pecting at least 1,000 partici-pants as of Tuesday.

“I think the largest [Zumba class] we’ve seen is 250 people, but they have to go through the certification process so we don’t know exactly. The Guin-ness Book people have strict rules,” said Turnbull.

The rules include one witness for every fifty participants, pa-perwork filled out by the wit-nesses, witnesses for the wit-nesses, a witness of the Zumba class, a super witness with a notary and certified Zumba instructors said Turnbull.

“There has to be one official routine that everyone par-ticipants in. We have to get independent media outlets to cover the event. We have to take video and lots of pictures,” said Byars. “[We also have to have] timekeepers to manage our time of our routine.”

“There are f o u r v e r y energetic, talented, and certified Zu mba i n-structors who will be lead-ing the class on Friday, “ said Byars.

I n a d d i -t ion, t here will be a cho-reographed routine, a DJ and water available for all par-ticipants.

“The public and physical safety of all participants is our primary concern,” said Byars, “Campus Police and EMS are on-site to address any pub-lic safety and health-related concerns that our staff cannot handle.”

“We are following Guinness World Record guidelines and have partnered with the Car-michael Staff to implement the same safety measures you

would export for any group fitness class in the gym fa-cilities,” said Moore. “Only students dressed in appro-priate work-out attire will be allowed to participate.”

The office of Health Pro-motion would also like ev-eryone to wear red, black,

or white to show school spirit and for pho-tography purposes.

“It’s a s p i r i t event,” said Turn-bull, “even the mas-cot will be there.”

The class is being held on Lee field starting at 4:30 p.m. It is free and open to all stu-dents, faculty and staff with a valid campus I.D. Student Health Services is also pay-ing for free parking after 3 p.m. in all west lots and the Dan Allen parking deck.

“We not only want to beat the world record, but we want to shatter it,” said Byars.

pus violence, according to the press releases. This includes increased transparency by add-ing domestic violence, dating violence and stalking to crime statistics report required by the University, and increased pro-motion of prevention programs and bystander prevention.

According to Captain Jon Barnwel l, patrol div ision commander of Campus Po-lice, the Act was also updated in October 2010 to provide a missing person notification for on-campus residence halls and apartments, which would

ensure that if someone went missing, he or she would have a relative or guardian whom housing could notify. The fall update also included a fire safety report embedded into the annual security report.

Since 2007, there have been 22 reported forcible and non-forcible sexual offenses on and off NCSU’s campus, around half of which occurred within residence halls, according to the campus police website. In addition, there were 12 report-ed aggravated assaults and two hate crimes.

Eliza Marth, a junior in so-ciology, says she thinks the an-nual crime report is incredibly important. Marth also said the

NCSU Women’s Center provid-ed her with helpful resources and support concerning pos-sible act ions to take against stalking, which empowered her to make deci-s ions about how to handle the situation.

“It’s impor-tant for the University to col lec t data to determine the extent of the problem when looking at systemic issues of violence and es pecially sexual assault,”

Marth said. “It helps hold the University accountable for the well-being of its students.”

Marth also said she would like to see the University continue its efforts, such as the prevention programs outlined by t he Cler y Act, in ad-dressing the roots of sex-ual violence,

in addition to reporting facts and figures.

The importance of the Act is also underscored by recent events on campus, such as an attempted sexual assault on a female student in March as well as the arrest of a WKNC disc jockey and computer science teaching assistant, who was charged with a felony sexual offense April 19.

Barnwell said that both of these incidents might not ap-pear in the annual security report until 2012.

“One problem with the De-partment of Education doesn’t require disclosure of crimes until the following year, so crimes that occur in 2011 will appear in the report for 2012,” said Barnwell.

This time period allows ev-eryone to compile and analyze the statistics, according to Barnwell. However, the statis-tics are uploaded to the cam-pus website in order for NCSU students and employees to be informed as quickly as possible.

The form for Clery Act reporting can be filled out anonymously online, where a witness can fill out the date, time, location and type of crime, including forcible and non-forcible sex offenses and hate crimes such as intimida-tion and simple assault.

{ }OUR VIEW

Beginning this summer, Talley Student Center will undergo a major

renovation. The Talley project is projected to take a little over three years to complete, and the construction should end late in 2014. Revenue to fund these projects comes partially from student fees. Students be-gan paying Talley facilities fees in last Fall, with an amount of less than $90 per year, which included the construction and use of the Atrium. When the new Student Center opens in 2014, students face a facilities fee capped at $290 per year.

With large construction proj-ects, is it easy to go off track. Architects sometimes revise their plans due to unforeseen circumstances or changing interests. The problem with

straying from the plan is that the budget is consequentially affected—most often nega-tively. It is the responsibility of the Student Center’s Board of Directors to create a budget and stick to it, so that students’ money does not go to waste.

For example, the Atrium renovations were and still are a portion of the Talley Proj-ect, and are currently on track and on budget. If the Student Center’s renovation follows the same path as the Atrium’s, the project’s result would be quite successful. However, there are always concerns in large con-struction projects, particularly with gaining back some of the revenue lost from the con-

struction.Any business endeavor must

be profitable to succeed. Cen-tennial Campus’ extensive con-struction project faced only one obstacle—revenue created from its development. There are plans to use Centennial Campus as a conference cen-ter, and to use the buildings to create jobs and support causes that government agencies do not. There is also a plan for a golf course facility for rec-reation and education, which would generate revenue from the public as well as from stu-dents.

As the Talley Student Center’s construction hasn’t yet begun, the Board of Directors would

benefit from brainstorming ways that the center could gain back revenue lost for its con-struction, other than a perpet-ual hike to student fees. These plans should be conceptualized as closely to the start of con-struction as possible.

Many students initially ex-hibited some animosity toward the budget issues and the Tal-ley construction project. If the Board of Directors does ex-ceed the budget, these feelings of bitterness will only grow. With most N.C. State students away for the summer, we have left our money and our hopes for Talley in the hands of the Board of Directors and the building company. This project needs to go according to plan. Stick to the budget and every-one will benefit.

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.

Talley must stay on trackTHE FACTS: The Talley Student Center’s renovations should be completed in late 2014, and will take approximately $120 million to complete. Student facilities fees will be raised and capped no more than $290 a year starting in 2014.

OUR OPINION: If the University Student Center’s Board of Directors sticks to their budget and timeline, the current plan for Talley Student Center is feasible and achievable. With our money in their hands, sticking to their plan is of the upmost importance.

are worthy of that title. Chal-lenge what is on the surface and dig deeper while thinking about politics. Take the time to consider the concept of the Tragedy of the Commons, which states that individually logical decisions can add up to a final outcome that is negative for all parties involved. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, Google it—it literally takes minutes.

Understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the American political system. If we, as a society, decide that we need certain social programs, we are going to have to pay for

them. If we decide to cut cer-tain programs-Medicare is cur-rently on the proverbial table-think beyond immediate cost savings and try to grasp how this decision will affect us years from now.

Immediate tax relief for our parents’ generation coming at our expense is definitely some-thing to consider and be aware of when thinking of the future world we will most likely be alive to experience.Think of your needs and think of your neighbors’ needs. Think of the present, but don’t lose sight of the future. Read Wikipedia if you can’t find anything better for factual information. Once you have obtained the unde-niably factual information you need, formulate your own opinion and challenge what has been fed to you by the media.

Dear Boy Crazy,If you had asked

me this question about a year ago, I would have said something like,

“where’s the bad?” I also went through a boy crazy phase that probably lasted lon-ger t ha n it should h a v e . I like to as-su me a l l

girls do—so I don’t seem so crazy.

But honestly, I don’t think this is the worst problem to have. You are putting your-self out there and you are having fun. My friends have always made fun of me for being boy crazy, but I al-ways said I liked the drama of it.

A new guy every week, what could be more fun? And I think you are not alone when you analyze

every guy you meet to decide if you want to date him or not. You get to a certain age where you don’t necessarily need guy friends, so why not see if you can date them?

But there comes a time when the drama isn’t as fun anymore. The problem comes when you are looking for more than fun. This is not the way to get a seri-ous boyfriend or husband.

If you are ready for a real commitment, I think this is like any “addiction.” You just have to quit. You can still eval-uate guys to see if you want to date them, but you need to real-ize that you don’t always have to be the one to pursue them.

Guys are easy: if you show some interest, they are most

likely going to reciprocate without actually thinking about whether they want to date you. This leaves you with a lot of shallow relationships that don’t go anywhere.

If you meet someone that you actually really like and think you can date long term, you definitely don’t have to “play it cool” and just let him come to you; relationships don’t work like that anymore. But I would advise against being too forward. This makes guys think you are only in-terested in some fun.

It is never the survivor’s fault when a perpetrator commits a sexual assault

I disagree with Captain Barnwell’s recommendations in Monday’s article of how to prevent sexual assault, because it puts prevention in the hands of the potential survivors instead of putting fault where it should be, which is with the potential perpetrators.

90 percent of rapes and attempted rapes of women on college campuses are committed by someone the survivor knows. So please tell me, how do you avoid putting yourself “in a situation where you could be victimized?”

I guess everyone should just stop being social and having friends. Of course I’m being sarcastic with this suggestion,

but I’m trying to illustrate the absurdity of the given advice.

The only way to stop sexual assault is to create a culture in which perpetrators know that their behavior will not be tolerated. One way to do this is by being an active bystander; when you see something happening that could lead to a sexual assault, speak up.

We must commit to a culture of non-violence where sexism, abuse and rape are not tolerated and survivors are fully supported. In a society in which survivors are blamed and stigmatized, telling anyone is a very difficult thing to do. I thank the survivor of this attack for his bravery in coming forward.

Folk group debuts sophomore album WUF GANG MOZART | CHRISTIAN O’NEAL

PICK OF THE WEEK

Michael JonesWKNC DJ

Following the immense suc-cess of 2008’s debut self-titled album, Fleet Foxes took three years of touring, recording and ref lecting before their

sophomore release, Helpless-ness Blues.

The delay, although difficult for early fans, may have done just what it needed to calm some of the hype for their sec-ond full-length. It also allowed time for Fleet Foxes to grow, experiment and hone their skills as proper folk artists.

Fleet Foxes, while holding onto their abilities to create folk tracks with large amounts

of grandeur, allowed them-selves to experiment, reflect and refresh what could have been an attempt to repeat the sounds present on their debut. Quite simply, Fleet Foxes did everything that was necessary for a proper sophomore album.

DANNY GREEN MERGES THE PAST AND FUTURE IN ‘GETTYSBURG ARMORED WARFARE’

Gettysburg Armored Warfare is a real-time strategy/first-person shooter hybrid, allowing players to strate-gically plan their battles from a zoomed out perspec-tive, and then switch to playing as any of the soldiers on the field from a first-person perspective.

“GAW executes on a gameplay style I’ve been try-ing to perfect my entire life,” Green said, “the RTS/FPS hybrid.”

Green has combined this hybrid gameplay style with a story involving time travel, future technology and the Civil War in an effort to provide gamers with a unique experience, but the premise took some time to get just right.

“Paradox and I were trying to figure out how to have a second Civil War sometime in the future,” Green said, “But we couldn’t figure out a plausible way to make it work. Then we went into the world of weird science and time travel, and it all came together.”

GAW ’s plot involves a rogue agent who travels back in time with future technology to change the outcome of the Civil War in favor of the Confederacy. But when the modern government finds out, they send back re-inforcements to beef up Union forces.

“What we ended up with is an alternate version of the Civil War, this time fought with all kinds of future weapons, tanks and artillery,” Green said.

The game is currently in pre-alpha stage, with most of the gameplay systems in place with placeholder graphics and effects. The concept art is the only thing that’s completely finished, but it shows a game with a clear identity and vision. Things are looking up for Green’s one-man company, Radioactive Software, but it wasn’t always this way.

Green’s game development story began at age 10 when his father taught him how to program using C++. Green said that from an early age, he preferred computers to the usual kids stuff.

“There was just something about video games,” Green said. “There was a ball pit, yeah, and that was fun, but for me, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the four-player arcade game, was much more interesting.”

In college, Green created a game called Urban Em-pires, which was heavily influenced by the Grand Theft Auto series. He’d often stay up all night working on some interesting new feature and then call his father,

excited to share the news.“He’d tell me to focus on my classes,” Green

said. “I knew the only way to earn his re-spect was to sign with an international publisher. So that’s what I did.”

During his junior year in college, Green signed a publishing deal with Strategy First, a well-known strategy game publisher at the time.

“I was 20,” Green said. “I couldn’t believe it.”

But the excitement was short-lived. After working on the game for many years, Strategy First went bankrupt, and the rights to Ur-ban Empires are tied up in court to this day.

Green started work on his current project, then called simply Armored Warfare, in 2007, and approached various publishers about a deal over the next three years. In 2010, Paradox In-teractive expressed interest and flew Green out to LA to show off the game.

“Paradox flew me out to LA for E3 and put me up in a 5-star hotel,” Green said. “I spent some of my last money on a G72 gaming laptop to really show off

Independent developer Danny Green stands amongst the computers in his home office where he does the majority of work on his game, Gettysburg Armored Warfare, which will be released later this year.

Danny Green compiles code using Visual C++ in his office. “I do everything myself,” Green said. “In some ways, having a large team would just slow me down.”

Time-travel, ‘Achron’ styleChris Hazard has been working

on his game, Achron, for a very long time. Well, that’s not exactly true. Rather, he had the idea for the game some 12 years ago, but realized the computer technology necessary to run it wouldn’t exist until at least 2006. So for many years into the process of creating Achron, the world’s first true time-trav-elling real-time strategy game, Hazard dreamed big and waited patiently for the day that his vi-sion could be realized.

That day is nearly here. Achron, which will be completely self-pub-lished by Hazard’s aptly named company, Hazardous Software, will be released online some time later this year for Mac, PC and Linux, and it’s been developing significant buzz in the meantime.

The core of the game is its engine, which allows for realistic simula-

tion of time travel including considerations for all of those pesky problems like the grandfather conundrum and the butterfly effect that have baff led time-travel scientists for years.

“In 1999, I was playing Homeworld in three-dimensions,” Hazard said, “and I started thinking, ‘Why not a four-dimensional

rea l-t ime strateg y game?’”

The idea continued to percolate in Hazard’s

mind for years to come, but it wasn’t until 2008 that

he created an algorithm to try to accomplish his goal

of a time-travel RTS, and be-gan to focus on the consumer

market.“It got to the point,” Hazard

said, “Where I just decided, ‘I have to make this.’” And thus, Achron was born.

To accomplish his dream, Hazard brought his longtime friend Mike Resnick aboard for the project. The two had discussed the possibility of the game as early as 2001 when they

both worked at Motorola as soft-ware engineers.

“We would get together and work on the game, quietly, from that point on,” Resnick said, “But it wasn’t time technology-wise.”

Today, the two split up produc-tion duties and work full time on the project. Hazard handles what Resnick calls “low-level code,” or the underpinnings on which the entire game is built.

“Chris coded the Resequence En-gine,” Resnick said. “which could technically be used to make what-ever type of game you want. We decided to make Achron.”

Resnick, on the other hand, handles “high-level code,” which he describes as “logic for units, integration of art assets, logic for scenarios, etc.”

Although Hazard and Resnick are the only full-time members of the team, they have brought in some outside help to work on things such as art direction and user inter-face. But because they are working with little to no budget, Hazard and Resnick had to figure out a way to pay for outside talent.

“Many of the people working on the project have chosen profit shar-ing as payment,” Hazard said, “Or a combination of some money and some profit share.”

Profit sharing means that these employees will receive a portion of the proceeds of the game after it is released.

“They really believe in our game,” Hazard said, “And are betting on it being successful.”

And there’s good reason to be optimistic. Hazardous presented Achron to an audience of 900 as part of the gameplay workshop sessions at 2009’s Game Developer’s Confer-ence, and the reviews were unani-mously positive.

Popular gaming website Boing-Boing called Hazardous Software the “Indie darlings of GDC,” and gaming visionary Warren Spector, best known for his work on Deus Ex, wrote about the developer on his blog.

“Incredible,” Spector said. “I’ve been wanting to do another time travel game since I worked on Mar-tian Dreams but didn’t know how to pull it off. These guys seem to have done it.”

Programmer Mike Resnick sits in his home office which doubles as the headquarters for Hazardous Software, makers of the time-travel real-time strategy game Achron.

For some, the journey to publishing a game is long and arduous and for others, it seems to be a story of overnight success. For independent game developer Danny Green, however, it has been a journey fraught with triumphs and disappointments,

but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. His newest game, Gettysburg Armored Warfare, has been picked up by a large Swedish publisher called Paradox Interactive, and is set to be available online later this year as a free-to-play downloadable title.

mind of lead singer Robin Pecknold, the album starts with an intimate beginnings as he reflects, “Oh man what I used to be!” As the harmonies of the band echo in the background, Pecknold carries along with hopeful yet observant sentiments on what c ou ld happen and what already has happened, a proper opening for an excellent second album.

Helplessness Blues keeps the aud ience c ap-tivated as they experiment with new techniques for song writing.

On two different occasions the band combines two songs, which create some of the most peculiar moments on the album. In “The Plains/Bitter Dancer,” Fleet Foxes

start with a light, yet long instru-mental opening that merges into a track that is less traditional Fleet Foxes, and instead calls back to the older folk generations that inf lu-enced their music.

Some of the most stripped down moments throughout the album al-low for some of the most powerful moments.

In the title track, Fleet Foxes hone this surging folk sound dominated by multiple acous-tic guitars, the range of Pecknold and the ability to progress tracks from within to climax.

Pecknold and compa ny have

the capability to bring in beautiful lullabies to calm down and change it up. In “Blue Spotted Tail” they utilize only the smooth harmonies of Pecknold’s voice and a guitar, which proves to be both soothing

and dreamy.However, Fleet Foxes is able to

deliver one of their greatest tracks with the conclusion of Helplessness Blues.

“Grown Ocean,” a soaring dream of Pecknold’s creation, carries alongside an optimistic, grand collaboration of all elements, old and new.

Hearkening to some of the vast musical mixtures of their first album, Fleet Foxes is also able to create layers with incredible pre-cision. As flutes penetrate the epic collision of instruments that guide us along the dreamy atmosphere of Pecknold’s lyrics, Fleet Foxes con-clude their excellent album with one of the greatest folk tracks of the past decade.

Through a combination of ex-perimenting with new musical elements, utilizing their previous combinations of folk music and writing meaningful lyrics, Fleet Foxes delivers one of the best al-bums of the year.

laptop wouldn’t boot up.“After all I’d

been through,” Green said, “I felt like I was go-ing to blow my shot. But then at the show, we tried to turn it on one more time and like a miracle, it worked.”

In t he end, Green’s presen-tation went well and Paradox de-cided to sign his company to an online publish-ing deal on the spot.

“They couldn’t believe I did every-thing myself,” Green said. “I was all

calm until I got out of the room, and then I was yelling, ‘Yeah!’ at the top of my lungs.”

Now, Green still runs the company by himself, but Paradox has provided an infusion of cash, allowing him to hire worldwide talent to help him out.

“I have a r t-ists in Spain and Czechoslova-kia, a voiceover guy in Boston, a concept artist in California and a project manager in Stockholm,” Green said. “And I do programming, particle systems, user interface and any other miscel-laneous work to fill in the gaps.”

If all goes ac-cording to plan,

best way to go.”After taking the reins of the

scout team offense two years ago, head coach Tom O’Brien called him 2010’s Most Im-proved Player following last years spring game performance where he was 11-21 with 221 yards and three touchdowns.

Imhoff has embraced his po-sition on the scout team, and has taken on the roll as both a leader for younger players and somewhat of an offensive as-sistant coach. He signals plays to the quarterback and ob-serves coverages and defensive schemes to provide insight to the quarterback in the game. Redshirt junior Mike Glen-non praised Imhoff’s team-first mentality.

“Dan is awesome,” Glen-non said. “He’s a great friend of mine and he’s the ultimate team player. Everything he does is team first and I enjoy com-

ing to the sideline and talking to him. He’s one of the team’s favorite players.”

Powell reiterated Glennon’s statement. He was jubilant about the success the two players have had since play-ing f lag football together on Miller Fields. Though the two have only played in a hand-ful of games combined, both Powell and Imhoff are grateful to contribute to the N.C. State football program.

“He’s been a great friend for me,” Powell said. “Both of us coming from an intramural team together freshman year, then four years later both of be-ing Scout Team Players of the Year, it’s just been like a dream come true for both of us. He’s been an awesome friend and a great teammate the whole time.”

“By letting my defense work behind while I managed the pop flies and ground balls, I think that contributed to my success.”

Fellow State pitcher Mor-gan Peeler, a junior, said she noticed Hennig’s statistics at her previous college and was not surprised by the numbers.

“She did really well at her former college,” Peeler said. “She has shown a lot of poise on the mound, along with heaps of confidence and determination.”

A key aspect to Hennig’s potential success at State is her transition from both hitting and pitching at Na-varro to focusing primarily on pitching while playing for the Pack.

Hennig says that even though she really did not

come to bat a lot at her previ-ous college, it was good for her because it allowed her focus more on the core of her talent – pitching.

“I really didn’t get to hit a whole lot at Navarro, so it’s not that big of a difference when all I do is pitch at State anyways,” Hennig said. “It has actually

allowed me to focus on my pitching a lot more, which of course is good.”

With Henning being a trans-fer, it can be said that she will not play as much as the other two pitchers, Morgan Peeler and Kayla Cox.

Though she has not gotten the opportunity to pitch as

much as the other two, Peeler believes that Hennig while be a valuable asset to the Pack next season.

“I feel like she has a great opportunity to play more next year,” said Peeler. “She has a very different pitching style compared to Kayla [Cox] and I, and shows great potential for our team next year.”

Senior catcher Alyssa Allbrit-ten commented on Hennig’s overall impact on the team, stressing the fact that even though she may not play a lot, she brings fun to the team with her simplicity and goofiness.

“You will always need a third pitcher, which helps out Kayla [Cox] and Morgan [Peeler] when they need time to rest,” said Allbritten. “She also brightens the team’s mood, from simple things such as laughing at stupid jokes. She is just a goofy girl in general.”

As for the basketball pro-gram, Mark Gottfried has my stamp of approval (for what-ever that is worth.) He has the experience; the tenacity and

the fire to compete with the powerhouses down the road and will make the Tobacco Road Rivalry once again a three-way fight.

Anyway, it still amazes me how I got to this position as the sports editor of the Technician. To say that English and gram-mar are not my strong suits would be an understatement. I mean, I came close to fail-

ing my copyediting class with Professor Cockshutt had it not been for the written final. But I have done my best to provide you students and facility with the best possible sports stories I could.

I have tried to stay positive in a four-year span where there weren’t many positives and I hope at least at one point over my two plus years at the paper,

you enjoyed something that I produced.

And if you are still reading at this point, see ya later, be-cause here comes the always interesting thank yous. The first thanks goes to my first editor Taylor Auten for giving me a shot at writing, followed closely by my favorite editor Kate Shefte, who was always critical of my writing ability,

which I believe was just out of spite due to the countless ass-whopping’s she got in Jenga up at the office.

To Tyler Everett for some-how conning me into this job, to Sean Klemm and Tucker Frazier for sticking by me this semester, to Ashley Gwyn for putting up with the late hours I spent up at the office and fi-nally to my roommate Scott

Riggsbee who was never short of critiques on my articles, thank you.

It’s been a rollercoaster ride and even though I don’t want it to end, it looks like it is my turn to get off. So I raise my glass to you students. Thanks for the opportunity.

I have always hated leads. I truly have. I can never for the life of me find a way to

adequately start a story wheth-er it be a recap, feature or col-umn. They always turn out to

be some type of cheesy play on words, as I am sure Tyler Dukes knows. But seeing that this is my fare-well column and I can say what I please, without fur-

ther ado…“I tend to think of myself

as a loner. A kind of one man Wolfpack...”

Okay, just kidding, but now that we have the ball rolling; my four years at N.C. State have been a wonderful experience for me. I couldn’t have asked for a better four years.

It has been a whirlwind of a four years, but here are a few memories that stand out, even if they may be slightly blurry.

I had the opportunity be slammed by the posters on PackPride, I shotgunned who knows how many beers well before midnight out on the fairgrounds outside of Carter-Finley Stadium, drank my fill of $1.50 well drinks at Rum Runners, went on a Mardi Gras trip that was out of control and I got to see the men’s basket-ball team make it to the NCAA Tournament, even if it was only one year.

Wait, that didn’t happen? Oh don’t worry, it will. What Debbie Yow is doing with N.C. State Athletics as a whole is re-markable. She has finally done what has needed to be done for 10 years now and stopped ac-cepting mediocrity.

Finishing in the middle of the ACC year after year is no longer acceptable and will not be tolerated.

I am proud to be a member of the 2011 graduating class. We have a special bond, ath-letically speaking, being that we have attended State during what could be seen as one of its worst four consecutive years of athletics in its history.

Had it not been for what foot-ball coach Tom O’Brien, Rus-sell Wilson and Nate Irving did this season, winning the Champ Sports Bowl, while be-ing in the running for a chance to play in the ACC Champi-onship Game, the whole four years would have been a failure.

But hey, win or lose we have a good time and that’s what makes State fans such a rare breed. We constantly stick by our team with unwavering faith, even though the results have been less than impressive, thus far anyway.

But for you returning stu-dents, I am truly jealous. Yes-terday my compadre Sean Kl-emm stole a lot of my thunder as he wrote almost the identical column as to what I wanted to say, but I believe it needs to be said again.

I truly believe the best is yet to come for N.C. State Athlet-ics, and I am jealous of you freshmen, sophomores and juniors that will be returning for next season. O’Brien has al-ready laid the groundwork for a solid football tradition that

Freshman guard taking the year off to enjoy recruitment process.

Cory SmithDeputy Sports Editor

Fans crowded Sammy’s Tap & Grill back in 2009 and 2010 for two highly-touted recruits who would undoubtedly make a huge impact on Tobacco Road for years to come for the Wolfpack.

Just one day after the an-nouncement that freshman forward C.J. Leslie would be staying put in Raleigh, fel-low freshman guard Ryan Harrow declared that he would be transferring from the University.

In a statement released by the University, new head coach Mark Gottfried and Harrow reached a mutual decision that would allow the freshman to transfer to another program.

Gottfried said that he will back Harrow in any deci-sion that he makes, unless it leads him to a conference foe, of course.

“We wish him well and will do anything we can to assist him in this process,” Gottfried said.

There have been no of-ficial announcements as to where he plans to transfer to, but Harrow said he feels that the year off will be the

best thing for him right now.“The year off will help me

improve in many ways and I think the decision is the best for me personally,” Harrow said.

Harrow played well for the Wolfpack at the beginning of the season, eventually earning a starting role with the team. Then he was stricken with an illness that kept him out of a few games before returning to compete just before the ACC Tournament.

All in all, Harrow started in 10 of the 29 games that he played in, finishing fourth on the team in points per game with 9.3 and second on the team in assists with 3.3 per game.

While it was highly speculat-ed at the time of Sidney Lowe’s departure that Harrow would potentially transfer, many be-lieved that he would be stay-ing put after hearing that Leslie would remain with the team. Harrow had a close relationship with Lowe from the moment that he signed with the school.

Though Harrow has de-cided to leave the school for unknown reasons, he did have some pleasant parting words for Gottfried and his newly hired administration.

“I think the staff will do good things here at N.C. State,” Har-row said.

Harrow’s departure leaves the Pack with one less starter from the season prior, but Leslie and freshman guard

Lorenzo Brown have said that they will be back with the team next season. While no official announcement has been made about junior forwards Scott

Wood and Richard Howell will presumably join senior guard C.J. Williams for the Pack next season.

Hennig focused for Pack

Hennig excelled at the junior college level, but wanted more

Nick LivelyStaff Writer

When transferring to a new school, it can definitely be a scary experience. In the case of junior pitcher Jade Hennig, it was an ex-perience that needed to be explored.

While on the quest to find a university to play at, Hennig said she chose N.C. State because she thought our softball program was the most qualified.

“I had several different universities looking at me, so it was a hard decision to make,” said Hennig. “Ulti-mately, I wanted to choose a school that I would go the farthest with; with my goal being to make it to a National Championship. Overall, I felt like State was the best option for me.”

While under the super-vision of Navarro College’s coach Jessica Karenke, Hennig boasted an impres-sive 16-0 record, along with an 0.89 ERA, finishing 12th in the nation.

Hennig admits that her success at Navarro can be attributed to several dif-ferent factors, including her dominant pitching and rugged defense.

“I was mainly a strike-out pitcher, so I focused on pitching a lot,” Hennig said.

Senior walk-on earns scholarship in his final year with the program.

Sean KlemmDeputy Sports Editor

After a recent spring prac-tice, prior to the annual Kay Yow Spring Game, a conglomerate of sports re-porters anxiously waited for interviews with players like starting quarterback Mike Glennon, two-time All-ACC tight end George Bry-an, and last year’s starting running back Dean Haynes and veteran offensive line-man Camden Wentz.

However, I took the op-portunity to talk to a player who is seldom in the media spotlight – redshirt senior quarterback Daniel Imhoff. The charismatic Sanford native, grinning from ear to ear, was quick to ask me how my classes were going, what my summer plans were and whether I would be attending the spring game.

“Dan the Man,” as he is affectionately called by his teammates, joined the Wolfpack as a walk-on in the spring of 2009. Imhoff was rewarded this year, be-ing named 2010’s Offensive Scout Team Player of the Year and earning a schol-arship in his final season at State.

“It’s been the road less traveled, I guess,” Imhoff said. “Not a lot of guys start off as a walk-on then earn a scholarship. It’s been a tremendous honor and I’m proud to have the opportu-nity.”

After playing intramural

flag football and club lacrosse for the entirety of his freshman year, and the fall semester of his sophomore year, Imhoff, with the persuasion from friend and fellow Scout Team Player of the Year redshirt senior Zach Pow-ell, decided to try out for the team.

“I knew we needed quarter-backs, because all we had was Russell [Wilson] and [Mike] Glennon at the time,” Powell said. “That was right after Har-rison Beck and Daniel Evans graduated. I told Dan to come try out and that I thought we might be able to use him. He did and he made it. It was kind of cool.”

Imhoff was a first team all conference quarterback and MVP of the tennis team for Lee County High School. After high school, Imhoff admitted

he thought his football ca-reer was over, but when the opportunity to play again presented itself, he jumped at the opportunity with a ‘why not?’ attitude.

“I didn’t think I’d ever have a chance to play foot-ball again,” Imhoff said. “I really missed competing. But honestly, I kept telling myself, ‘the worst thing they can tell me is no.’ So I just kept working hard at what I do, trying to get better at what coaches ask me to do, you finish every set in the weight room, finish every sprint at practice, you have to just try to be the best player you can be, not tak-ing any shortcuts, that’s the
