Raleigh, North Carolina

Alanna HowardStaff Writer

Saturday the College of Veterinary Medicine sponsored the 18th annual Dog Olympics in Moore Square in downtown Raleigh.

This was the Olympics’ first year in the downtown park as in years past it was held on the Vet School grounds or at the University Club. The charitable event benefits area rescue groups while promoting responsible dog ownership.

Event Coordinator Bobbi McQuown said there were complications with both past locations for this year’s event.

“There was no shade at the Universi-ty Club and the Vet School is currently under construction so we looked other places,” she said.

Vet school sophomore Sarah Gunderson thinks the new location is the reason for a much bigger turnout.

“This year I’m really excited by the turnout, I think the venue had a lot to do with it,” she said.

The weather was another reason turnout was high, according to the President of the Carolina Border Col-lie Rescue group, Nancy Solum. This was the group’s fourth year attending and no complaints about the sun and cool temperature.

“Moore Square is a beautiful loca-tion and the weather complimented it perfectly. This is a great facility and I’m glad the coordinators decided to move it here this year,” she said.

The turnout was higher than expect-ed and McQuown said she received positive feedback from the attendants.

McQuown the new vendors and added rescue groups brought more people out.

“We have two more rescue groups this year and some new informational booths. I think this is the growth and

exposure people are looking for,” she said.

One new booth was . Representative Pamela Civile of

the English Springer Rescue America group said the group had always at-tended the Vet School open house but this was their first year at the Olym-pics.

“This is a great place for dogs, their owners and anyone who is interested in owning a dog to come to. We never expected to see such a great turnout,” she said.

One returning booth that drew attention was the Raleigh Kennel Club’s free microchipping clinic. It has worked with the University’s Vet School for seven years to provide this service at the Olympics.

Raleigh Kennel Club Treasurer Bill Pfeiffer said the group has chipped

more than 550 dogs during that time.

The Clinic expected to insert chips in more than 100 dogs on Saturday.

“We are involved because it helps a lot of dogs in a small period of time and by providing this service free of charge they can drive their proceeds back into the commu-nity,” he said.

The American Kennel Club also attended. They sponsor the dog agility trials and introduced a mix breed membership program.

Overall the event was a success according to Coordinator Mc-Quown.

“Anything that promotes hu-man and animal bonding and brings out people with their dogs is a success,” she said.

Concert-goers take out wallets, take in U2Beyond tickets, merchandise adds to cost of experience

Kate ShefteSports Editor

Students from as far away as Clem-son flocked to see U2 in its first per-formance in Raleigh Saturday night at Carter-Finley Stadium.

Many took advantage of $30 tickets in the upper stands or took their places on the floor in the “Red Zone,” where they were treated to band members strumming instruments right above their heads as the 360 tour stage ro-tated above them.

The iconic band from Dublin drew devoted fans who grew up with U2 and those who just wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

Muriel Webb, a senior in business administration, said she has been a U2 fan almost all her life.

“It was the best concert I’ve been to,” Webb said. “It was worth the money. I would do it again a thousand times.”

Zach Howard, a senior in materials engineering, said the stage design was worth the hefty price of admission.

“It was disappointing that there wasn’t a student ticket option, but I thought it was great,” Howard said. “The stage was amazing. It was quite a feat from an engineering standpoint.

Chelsea Robertson and Nathan Maher, both seniors in mechanical engineering, scalped their tickets in the parking lot right before the show started and paid slightly more than face value, which Maher said was “rea-sonable.”

Both went for the concert’s opening band, British trio Muse.

“We went for Muse and U2 was just

kind of a bonus,” Maher said. Robertson said she was pleasantly

surprised to hear Muse live. “They definitely lived up to my

expectations,” Robertson said. “The music on their CDs is always really complicated and I was worried they wouldn’t be able to keep up with it live, but they did a good job.”

Howard said he was far more inter-ested in the internationally-acclaimed headliners. He enjoyed the music he grew up listening to and took in the message the group conveyed.

“[Bono] wrote a story one time. He recognized that he had so much power at these things, and he could either use it or not,” Howard said. “It’s pretty cool to see somebody who has that much power and knows what he wants to do with it – he wants to do good things with it.”

The tickets were pricey, but with food and merchandise factored into the equation, experiencing U2 turned out to be an expensive night out for students. Tour-specific T-shirts and sweatshirts sold for $40 and $75, re-spectively. Cheaper posters sold out at several stands before either set started.

Kelly Hughes, a freshman in math-ematics education, said a $40 T-shirt would not fit into her personal budget. She took a look at prices and walked away.

“For a T-shirt? No way,” Hughes said. “I was thinking about it when I came into the show, because it’s U2 and I wanted something to remember it by, but I have a ticket stub and that’s good enough.”

Hughes went to a concert featuring The Fray recently and spent $25 on a T-shirt, and said that was her limit.

Stephanie Lyons, a UNC-Wilming-

ton student who offered her services to the company distributing the mer-chandise for the night, said the prices did not deter all students.

“It’s been a pretty good mix,” “There are a lot of older people, but there are a lot of students as well. The T-shirts have been our biggest seller.”

Webb and Howard both shelled out the money needed for U2 T-shirts made from recycled materials.

“You can always earn more money, but you can’t do this every day,” How-ard said.

Students impacted by delays, limited stops.

Allie LandryStaff Writer

With Hillsborough Street construc-tion well under way, the Wolfline has had to work around many obstacles to provide reliable services to students.

Current changes to the regular service include eliminating stops at D.H. Hill Library and Patterson Hall. Street and lane closings have also forced Wolfline operators to use alternate streets.

Transportation University Pro-gram Associate Kim Paylor said the Wolf line will have to adapt to construction as it happens. She said the schedule and routing alterations are sometimes done with less than a week’s notice from construction crews.

“The Hillsborough Street project is going to be going on for a little over a year,” Paylor said. “We have to re-route based on what they’re doing at a particular time. I can’t say today what changes we will make in January and February.”

Paylor said students should join the Wolfline listserv to receive up-to-date information about changes.

“What we’ve tried to do is make sure decisions we’ve had to make abruptly have been safe and haven’t had a great effect on students,” Paylor said. “We haven’t had a lot of com-plaints. We’ve done a good job let-ting students know about schedule

changes based on traffic changes and construction.”

Debbie Friscia, a Wolfline bus driv-er for three years, said construction puts a lot of stress on drivers.

“It’s a nightmare,” said Friscia. “It’s very stressful to drive down Hillsbor-ough now. There are so many things to look out for, such as pedestrians, concrete barriers, [and] big machin-ery.”

For many students, delays are the biggest hindrance.

“Since they started, it’s very rare that we’re ever on time,” said Friscia. “Sometimes you sit in the street for five minutes.”

Sara Cohen, a junior in food sci-ence, said she has avoided driving down Hillsborough Street this year because of the congestion caused by Wolfline buses.

“You can tell buses are having a hard time making their way through construction,” Cohen said. “I’ve had to sit behind a bus for several min-utes, just waiting until it could pass.”

Waseen Ahmed, a junior is psychol-ogy, said delays have not affected her as much.

“The only thing is that there are limited bus stops,” Ahmed said.

Ahmed has classes near the Court of North Carolina, but has no ac-cess to bus stops near any of them. All previous Wolfline stops near her classes have been blocked because of construction.

“When I get out of my classes I have to walk all the way to the library,” Ahmed saids.

Obama did behind-the-scenes lobbying for Chicago OlympicsIn the run-up to the Olympic vote, the White House was getting a clear message from the architects of Chicago’s bid: Balloting would be tight and a personal visit to Copenhagen from President Obama just might lock in a victory.Leaders of Chicago’s campaign for the 2016 Games had done some nose counting and were convinced the International Olympic Committee might well anoint Chicago as host, according

to White House officials interviewed Saturday.“The intelligence that we had from the U.S. Olympic Committee and Chicago bid team was that it was very close and therefore well worth our efforts,” said Valerie Jarrett, a senior White House adviser.

As Senate panel winds up, historic health debate to startBoth houses of Congress are poised to start a historic debate on sweeping legislation to overhaul America’s health care system, yet despite months of committee deliberations, some major issues remain unsettled.Early this week, the Senate Finance Committee is expected to take the last step that sets the stage for the full chamber’s debate when it votes on its version of a bill. Since the committee has a 13-10 Democratic majority, and Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, may vote yes, approval is expected.However, the Senate Finance Committee also exposed sharp divisions among Democrats about the extent of government involvement in health insurance and how to pay for any changes, while Republicans are all but universally opposed to the Democrats’ terms.

Students have the opportunity today to vote on the Talley-Atrium fee referendum.

Seize the chance to vote and consider its im-plications. A vote affirming the referendum will give University leaders conviction for their plan to spend millions of student fee dollars on the renovation, essentially reconstruction, of Talley Student Center and the Atrium. Carefully judge the $83 Talley fee increase for next year, but also reflect on the fact that today’s freshmen would pay $275 for Talley during their fourth year and as much as $290, or $0.80 per

day, during their fifth year.After the completion of the project, students

would continue paying for Talley in the form of a bond. Future students would be paying that debt down for decades. Theoretically, current students who send their children to N.C. State 25 years from now would pay for the building a second time.

These are difficult economic times for families, the University and the nation as a whole. A $100 million project is a large commitment for students to make, especially considering the limited realizations many

students will see while at the University.Make this an issue you’re knowledgeable about and

go vote at vote.ncsu.edu. Student turnout in most Student Government elections is, politely speak-ing, understated. This should not be, and cannot be the case for this referendum. Students must send administrators a strong message by taking a couple minutes out of their day to vote.

In the past, fee referendums have been ignored by the University — administrators have done as they pleased. By turning out in large numbers, students

{OUR VIEW}

Is it time to rally?

Students can send a message

Today, students have the privilege and opportunity to vote on many measures. Many of you will be voting on crucial student legislation you still do not understand. The largest

issue at hand is the Rally4Talley campaign. This is a wonderful idea that has great potential for N.C. State. However, it can have disastrous results for the student body, as it may reduce the num-ber of returning or future students because of its high price tag. Students can agree that they want a nice student center — but now is not the time. You will hear rhetoric about “every year we wait will cost $10 million.” If that were true, Talley would cost $250 million based on those same unsubstantiated and vague

A place to come together

A student center is a place where students gather around good food, fun entertain-ment, great friends and new memories.

It is the center of student life on campus — a place where students can enjoy interaction in a relaxed environment. It is a place where we bring visitors and incoming students — a place that enhances experiences and brings people together. A student center’s main purpose is to serve as the principal gather-ing place for a campus.

We aim to reinstate that purpose at N.C. State through today’s Rally4Talley fee refer-

endum vote. Talley Student Center was completed in 1972 when the

University’s student body totaled just more than 14,000.

Rally for what matters — your degree

C ontestants, today’s $64,000 question (or rather, $2,075,000 question, assuming 25,000 students pay fees) is a very simple

one. While at school, what are your priorities?That really is the question underlying the

entire Rally4Talley movement and the $83 indebtedness fee on the table. Now you may not be certain what your priorities are beyond getting through class for three more days until Fall Break, but I can tell you what you already knew: students generally come to a university to get a degree and all the opportunities the education and diploma carry with them. Stu-

Think of the future students

N.C. State attracts students of high caliber. As the largest institution in the UNC-System, it should be able to deliver a

level of service at least comparable to its peer universities.

The University ranks second-to-last in space per student in student centers in the UNC Sys-tem. When compared to its peer institutions on a national scale, it ranks at the very bot-tom. NCSU is an institution of innovation and advancement; it’s time we translate this into the way students are served and the facilities that they use.

“[Today’s vote] is the last opportunity I know of for any student in the general population to give in-put,” said Tom Stafford, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs.

The fees are limited by a cap which prevents fee increases from exceeding 6.5 percent each year. The Student Center Indebtedness Fee, representing the Tal-ley project, is not bound by this cap, but Chancellor

Jim Woodward has insisted that the total fees should not exceed this cap, regardless of the type of fees are included.

Woodward said this is an effort to make Talley more affordable and increase support, stressing the impor-tance of the project.

“We have the worst student union building in the state,” Woodward said. “If the student union building

is not the center of student life, it should be.” The project is presented as a package deal, including

renovations to the Atrium Food Court as well as both renovating and expanding Talley Student Center. The will increase assignable student space to 164,000 square feet, nearly double what was previously available, at a

REFERENDUM FINAL WORD ON TALLEY PROJECTLAST CHANCE FOR STUDENTS TO VOICE OPINION, DETERMINE FATE OF TALLEY PROJECT

Today, students will be able to vote for the 2010-11 proposed student fee increases at vote.ncsu.edu. The process for approving fees begins with to-

day’s student vote and continues tomorrow with a vote

in the Student Senate. Results from both votes will go to the Fee Review Committee, which consists of five admin-istrators, the student body president, the Student Senate president, and two appointed student representatives.

FEE continued page 4

The new space will centralize student life and build a sense of community, which Woodward said was essential to improving student morale and academics.

“Connectedness keeps kids from dropping out,” Wood-ward said. “They grow socially and it expands their non-aca-demic experience.”

Woodward said this en-hanced community will also continue to attract high caliber students, adding value to cur-rent student’s degrees.

Kyle Bolton, a senior in com-puter and electrical science and member of a Facebook group of students opposed to the Talley project, think the Talley project should be delayed as it is not an essential for the University.

“The economy is down. No one has the money,” Bolton said. “A lot of people are going to go broke for college next year.”

Woodward said there is no perfect time for a project of this scale.

“You can’t project what will happen. Once you start, you have got to do it,” he said.

Woodward said now was the perfect time as construction costs would be low because of the downed economy.

Bolton said fees would be bet-ter spent elsewhere, especially given the budget cuts affecting academic programs.

“Unlike Harrelson Hall, [Talley’s] not like some of the buildings across campus that are falling apart,” Bolton said.

Woodward said this is the

wrong way to approach the argument. There is a specific procedure for funds for differ-ent projects and fees from this process do not apply towards academic facilities.

“We don’t use student fees for academic buildings,” he said. “There is no other way to [pay for the student union building].”

Marycobb Randall, president of the University Student Cen-ter’s Board of Directors, said the Talley plan considers the concerns among students that they are paying for a building they will never use. The fee is tiered to increase from $83 to $290 over four years

“It’s more proportion-ate to the services you will re-ceive,” Ran-da l l sa id . “We try to make it as fair as pos-sible.”

This means students who will see less of the new Talley will be responsible for a smaller frac-tion of the cost

According to Stafford, to-day’s students are not the first to pay for a facility they would never use during their under-graduate career.

“The reason you should pay is that this is the only way we have to finance these projects,” Stafford said. “Today’s students enjoy facilities that students be-fore them paid for and never saw themselves.”

These projects include Car-michael Recreation Center, the renovated Thompson Hall, and additions to the Student Health

Center. The interpretation of the vote

by the Fee Review Committee will assist the chancellor in making his recommenda-tion to the Board of Trustees, president of the UNC system Erskine Bowles, and finally the Board of Governors.

Kelli Rogers, Student Senate president and co-chair of the Finance committee, said the Student Senate and the Finance Committee has worked to en-sure the fee ballot is as informa-tive and representative of the student body as possible.

“We work our hardest to make sure the referendum is

valid and produces accurate results,” Rogers said.”We want stu-dents to vote i n-formed.”

Rogers, who draft-ed the fee ballot,

said each fee entry includes a number of details: what area is being improved, what the im-provements are, how improve-ments will be done, and how the money will be spent.

“[The Talley fee] will explain the entire package increase,” Rogers said. “It will outline the yearly fee increase as well as the annual and total costs.”

According to Stafford, the wording of the referendum informing students and the percentage of the student body which votes will all factor into how valid the committee finds the referendum.

“My sense is there are some students who don’t think we

need this. It’s my sense that the number of students in that category is pretty small,” he said. “Most stu-dents recognize the need.”

The Finance Commit-tee then votes on which increases they will recom-mend to the chancellor.

Unlike other fees which, students can vote to fund all, half, or none of, the Talley referendum will be an all-or-nothing fee for the entire five-year package.

Rogers said if students vote no on the Talley proj-ect, she will insist that both the Senate and Finance Committee follow that vote.

“It’s hard for the Univer-sity to support something that the students don’t support,” Rogers said. “The Senate must stick with whatever the students vote and I will carry that vote all the way to the Board of Governors.”

Woodward expressed similar support for the stu-dent vote.

“If the referendum is in-terpreted as a rejection of the Talley proposal, I’m not going to do the project,” he said. “It’s got to be for stu-dents; it’s not for me.”

Stafford said if the proj-ect is voted down, the 6.5 percent fee cap would not be filled this year by other fees, however, demand for projects like this and others will not go away.

“Given the needs I know are out there, every single year the fee is going to come in pretty close to 6.5 per-cent,” Stafford said.

Student Government spent $10,000 advertising Rally4Tal-ley. Its interest is clear and stu-dents can be confident that it will turn its supporters out in large numbers for the vote

tomorrow. But this isn’t just a Student Government issue, the Talley project will have an impact on current and future students for years to come.

Talley is old and outdated, that’s a given. But is this the right time to rebuild it?

Ask yourself if this project is in the best interest of you and your fellow students and make your voice heard today.

numbers. There are many other stu-

dent fees on the ballot. A surprising fact is that the fees you are voting on will vary in increase from 3 to 10 percent to a total of $738.13 from the current $696.13. If you include the Talley project, the same fee would skyrocket to $821.13 or $1028.13 as the fee incremen-tally increases.

Folks, these are just the fees, you haven’t purchased books or enrolled in classes! To add insult to injury, there is the mandatory $200 fee levied by the N.C. General Assembly and for the uninsured, the manda-

tory $700 health coverage act that would boost the student fee rates to $1928.13. The good news is that Chancellor Jim Woodward is willing to re-turn 10 cents from the Re-serve-Student Af fairs fee. You should by now be pretty concerned or upset.

This is why I am against Talley. It’s expensive, it’s vague and it’s in the wrong place, this is made worse by the economic crisis and cutbacks the Univer-sity has already received. Stu-dents want better classrooms, residence hall life, ticketing planning, parking options and

Talley Student Center is woefully inadequate to serve current and projected enroll-ment and ranks at the bot-tom of our peer universities in terms of what it provides. We need to expand and en-hance food service, lounge and recreational areas, book-store and re-tail services, meeting space, space for student organiza-tions, stu-dent activi-ties and the arts. These enhancements will be accomplished through a major addition to the exist-ing Talley, a complete renova-tion of the existing building, and demolition of the existing bookstore. The design of the building and the functions located within will result in a student center that will truly be the center of student life at the University. Students will want to go there and will be proud to bring their parents and friends there.

The cost of completing this project will be significant. Like all student life facilities,

it will depend on a debt service fee to finance the project. The facilities you benefit from to-day, such as Carmichael Com-plex, Student Health Service and Thompson Theater were all made possible thanks to the gen-erosity and vision of your prede-cessors. This source of funding in no way compromises the mon-ey available to reduce class size, hire faculty or support new class sections. I can also assure you that your Student Government leaders have worked tirelessly with the University to lower this fee as much as possible. The

presentation to the Fee Review Committee re-quested a debt service fee of $83 per year to begin in the fall of 2010, and then gradually increase over the next three years until it reaches $290 per year in the

fall of 2013. I know that some students do not believe this is the right time to move forward with this fee. It is important to under-stand that delaying the project will have a very negative conse-quence: escalating construction costs will either cause the debt service fee to be higher than cur-rently proposed, or we will end up with a facility significantly reduced in size and scope.

Now is the time to support this much needed enhancement to student life at the University.

Thirty-seven years and 20,000 students later, Tal-ley no longer serves the purpose for which it was originally created.

Today, you have the opportunity to vote on the Atrium and Talley Student Center Renovation and Expansion Project. A vote in support of this proj-ect means that future students who entrust their education to NCSU will have a place to take visi-tors, a place to enjoy student life — an appropriate gathering place.

I realize that it is difficult for many students to jus-tify paying a fee for a building they may not utilize during their time as students. However, I challenge you to think of all the buildings and facilities you have enjoyed that were made possible by students and others before you. All of the buildings and traditions on campus that began before you came to the University are what make the bond among alumni who have walked this campus so strong. Imagine the University without Reynolds Coliseum, the Brickyard or the Bell Tower. Each of our unique landmarks serve campus differently, contributing to shared experiences and lifelong memories.

As the University continues to grow in size and stature, it is critically important that it has the proper facilities to support student activity. Your contributions to this project will help your alma ma-ter to continue serving the best interests of students.

You have a unique opportunity, at a young age, to make your mark now by committing a portion of students’ fees to this project. You will be leaving behind a legacy for the future, and when you come back to campus, you can take pride in knowing that you made this campus better — made it a place that you can be proud to come home to.

WOODWARDcontinued from page 3

dents’ fee votes should reflect this basic goal.

Consider the alternative uses for this $2,075,000. For start-ers, we could put it towards our educations. The University has cut classes, increased class sizes and scaled back tutorial ser-vices on-campus. We could put this money towards undoing some of that damage, particu-larly for courses that students need to take in order to gradu-ate on time. Or it could look to build some new space for classes large and small, which may facilitate the demolition of Harrelson Hall (which makes Talley look attractive and mod-ern by comparison).

We could put it towards im-proving graduate programs. As Jeff Braden, dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sci-ences put it, great schools didn’t earn their reputation from their undergraduate programs — they have superb graduate programs, which give them na-tional and global renown. You want your degree to count for more when an employer looks at it, especially when it comes down to salary negotiations, right? Having the weight of an outstanding academic and research institution standing behind is what can make that happen, but it would take time to build that reputation. And unlike Talley, you will see that benefit.

Or we may want to consider improving existing student ser-vices, particularly those which have a more direct benefit. Two of the big ones are health ser-vices and transit. After all, a sick student is one who is not (or at least should not be) in class, and a student who cannot

get to campus due to limited personal transportation is one who is going to be repeatedly marked “absent.” And while we may not be able to dramatically expand either system with $2 million and change, we can certainly start to make some improvements. So instead of a hospital on campus and mono-rail, we could see shorter wait-ing times to see medical pro-viders and a few more routes with buses that aren’t quite as crowded.

The bottom line is simple. In a time where the economy is still uncertain, particularly when the unemployment rate is at 9.8 percent and the Uni-versity’s budget is crippled by mandatory cuts from the state, do we really want to start work that does little to benefit cur-rent students in the short run and contributes nothing to aca-demics and research over the long run?

The choice is simple. Vote yes for an $83 fee that will have minimal benefits for you as a student in the short and long-term, or vote no and demand that you get something that will benefit you now and give you something better than a bit of pride in a building 30 years from now.

It’s that simple.

The new Talley Student Center will enhance student life in ways beyond expanded lounge, dining and student organization space. Expanded retail options will translate into more on-campus jobs for students.

University Dining’s ability to provide high-quality and reason-ably priced dining options to stu-dents on both main and Centen-nial Campuses is contingent on the passing of this fee. Since the Atrium Food Court’s last reno-vation in 1985, revenue receipts have increased nearly eight-fold. Increased and improved dining options at Talley will help solve congestion during peak dining hours.

The financial case for mov-ing forward with this project is strong. Low interest rates and construction costs mean this project will be completed at the lowest possible expense to stu-dents. The major utility systems in Talley are terribly inefficient and at the end of their useful life. The fees students pay are current-ly being wasted due to excessive building maintenance and repair costs for Talley. It makes sense to invest in a LEED-certified facility that will operate more efficiently at a reasonable cost. Each year the University delays this project its cost will increase by nearly $10 million. Is it fair to pass this bur-

den to the students who will be at the University next year and the following? Students will have to pay more for the same project.

I am willing to pay a fraction of a dollar per day so the University can build the facilities and pro-vide the level of service that it de-sires to provide. In the first year of the fee schedule, students will be able to use an updated Atrium Food Court for $0.23 per day. The fee increases over the course of four years, but even once it reaches its maximum level, stu-dents will be paying only $0.80 per day. The fee schedule is struc-tured in an equitable way; the fee a student pays directly correlates to the facilities and services he or she will enjoy.

Previous students were asked to make the same sacrifices today’s students are being asked to make. Witherspoon Student Center and the Carmichael Recreation Cen-ter were funded by students who might not have used the facilities. Students should consider what this project will mean to future students and the University. Take pride in being a part of something that will benefit our generation and future generations of the Wolfpack nation.

Irish rock pioneers shake Carter-Finley Stadium Saturday

Kate ShefteSports Editor

Advertised for months be-forehand and featuring a mas-sive, 90-foot-tall alien warship stage that took several days to set up, the U2 360 tour stop in Raleigh made Carter-Finley Stadium the place to be Satur-day night. This was the band’s first ever performance in Ra-leigh; a 1997 performance was scrapped at the last minute due to technical difficulties.

Live Nation selected a young-er, up-and-coming but fairly well-respected band to open for U2 for an eight-city leg of the show. Muse, which has a loyal following and earned itself household name status with its 2005 release Black Holes and Revelations (teeny-boopers will recognize it as “that band that sang that song while they were playing baseball in the Twilight movie”) rocked out with songs old and new, from its latest sin-gle “Uprising” to Absolution’s “Time is Running Out” for the finale. Their soaring, jarring electronic-tinged tones com-plimented the otherworldly set as well.

U2 made its long-awaited de-but close to 9 p.m.

“We’ve got old songs, we’ve got new songs. We’ve got new

songs we can barely play – and we have a space ship,” Bono an-nounced as the show warmed up, pointing skywards.

And a hybrid of old and new it was. The international phi-lanthropists by day, renowned rock stars by night brought everything out of the closet, from 1983’s “Sunday Bloody Sunday” to “One” to this year’s “I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight.” There was a good mix from each decade without any of it sounding tired or rehashed, a testament to this band’s staying power.

It wouldn’t have been a U2 concert if it weren’t punctured by Bono and Co.’s lofty politi-cal agenda. The music almost seemed like a sideshow to Bono’s musings on peaceful resistance. The band shouted out Agnes Nyamayarwo, a Ugandan nurse and activist close to U2’s ONE organization who is afflicted by AIDS, and Aung San Suu Kyi, an outspo-ken Burmese activist put under house arrest for six years due to the threats she posed to her country politically. Masks of her face were distributed to those around the stage and the show was dedicated to her.

There were mind-blowing thematic elements, most com-ing from the spaceship-shaped stage with moveable bridges

Fall Break gives students a chance to travel

Or go the artsy route and visit a museum, art exhibit or festival. From the mountains to the beach, North Carolina has beautiful scenery and endless possibilities for things to do.

Stacy R. Tomas, assistant professor and tourism extension specialist, en-courages students to explore the state during fall break. “North Carolina is an incredibly diverse state that offers many unique opportunities,” Tomas said. “There’s really no need to go out of state for a fun trip.”

Tomas recommends trips that sup-port the state’s heritage and economy, such as hiking on the North Caro-lina Birding Trail or visiting an agri-tourism farm. “VisitNC.com is a state-sponsored Web site that gives students resources to help plan trips,” Tomas said.

A great way to spend time outside and see animals from all over the world is by visiting the zoo. Fall is one of the best times to visit the zoo, according to Rod Hackney, public re-lations manager at the North Caro-lina Zoo in Asheville. “There’s noth-

ing else like it in North Carolina,” Hackney said. “Not only is the zoo fun, it also educates people on the importance of species we exhibit and saving the habitats of those species.”

“The zoo is only $10 for adults, making it an economical option for stu-dents,” Hack-ney said. He also mentioned that students from the University should check out the red wolves, which are not only the Uni-versity’s mascot but also a native species of North Carolina.

Caroline Yopp, a freshman in ag-ricultural education, enjoys going to the beach in the fall. “I plan on going to stay with my grandma in Sneads Ferry,” Yopp said. “Even though it is cooler outside, I enjoy going clam-

ming with my grandmother and walking on the beach.”

The beach is great for an overnight trip, but students who don’t have a place to stay could easily drive up for the day. Wilmington is one of many beaches that are less than three hours away and offer public parking. All you need is a picnic basket and some friends for a relaxing and enjoyable day. Just check the weather first!

On the opposite side of the state, students could take a trip to the mountains. Breathtaking scenery,

along with hik-ing and biking trails, horseback riding, canoeing and kayaking, can be found on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Many people enjoy the mountains for its quaint roadside stands and pick-your-own farms that supply local and fresh food.

James Trammel, a junior in fisher-ies and wildlife, had an internship this summer in Asheville. “The mountains are a great place to go in the fall, because the leaves are just starting to change colors,” Trammel said. “There are lots of options for

hiking, sight-seeing, biking and one of my favorites, dirt-bike riding.”

Trammel suggested students tour the Biltmore House, a historic house built in 1895 by the Biltmore family and also the largest house in America to date. Another option near Ashe-ville is the Nantahala Gorge Canopy Tour. This zip-line thrill takes riders through multiple ecosystems for over half a mile.

Assistant Director of Outdoor Adventures Bill James has four trips planned over fall and spring, al-though the spots are already filled up. Students will travel on two back-packing trips to Mt. Rogers and sea kayaking trips to Cape Lookout and Beaufort.

For students who didn’t sign up for the trip, James says students have many other options. “Uwharrie Na-tional Forest, the Outer Banks, Jor-dan Lake and Falls Lake are all places I would recommend,” James said.

There are some special events oc-curring throughout the state over the weekend of fall break. Students interested in the arts might enjoy the Sculpture Salmagundi Exhibi-tion, which will be at the Imperial Centre in Rocky Mount during fall break. The Ava Gardner Festival in Smithfield is also this weekend, an event that honors the famous actress.

The Great Smoky Mountain Rail-

road, which features a Peanuts theme of the “Great Pumpkin Patch Ex-press” in October, the 150th Anniver-sary of the Cape Lookout Lighthouse, the Ciao, Italia! Festival in Charlotte and the Tour de Pig Barbecue Festival are all events happening the weekend of fall break.

Fall break starts Wednesday night, giving students four days of freedom to enjoy a break from the stress of mid-terms and deadlines. Students are planning to travel all

over North Carolina, as well as outside of the state. Traces of fall weather have just started to appear in the past few weeks, so take advantage of the chance to breathe the fresh air.

Downtown Raleigh conceals concertsStudents find entertainment in heart of Downtown

Kristie DemersCorrespondent

On a tucked away cobble-stone street under an awning, Maggie Nash, Anna Chiles and Andrea Neill had finally found something to do to unwind and kick off their weekend. Neill danced on the street surrounded by twinkling lights and carefree faces at City Market; a secret hide-away of entertainment.

Neill, a sophomore in bio-chemistry, was excited about finding out the event. “I didn’t know they had concerts down-town like this.”

“I look forward to going again,” Neill said.

Nash, a freshman in psy-chology, said she wanted to try something new after hear-ing about the concert from a friend.

Chiles, a sophomore in sports management, enjoyed the free entertainment especially after a long week of classes.

“It is a good way to have fun

sober,” Chiles said. Chiles said that the whole

atmosphere reminded her of her home in Asheville.

Kaitlin Torres, a sophomore in biology, said she had never heard of First Friday but she would attend free concerts if she knew they were going on. Torres was looking for some-where to go on Friday night that would be a good place to eat dinner and have a good time, but didn’t know where to look.

“I always thought down-town was pricey and never

even thought to look there for free entertainment while I eat,” Torres said.

Ashlyn Barefoot, a junior in sports management, attended the concert.

“I don’t come much because of the hassle of one-way streets and attempting to find a park-ing spot in downtown,” Bare-foot said.

Cecily Smith, a sophomore in fashion merchandising and product development,

and Barefoot said they had trouble finding the concert where people got around by foot, leaving their cars on the paved city streets. Barefoot and Smith didn’t spend money at the concert, but paid for a close and safe parking spot.

“The only thing I had to spend money on was a park-ing spot,” Smith said.

that arched over the crowd and a walkway that circled the main area. The screen disas-sembled itself and turned into a colorful web midway through the show. Bono disappeared at one point and came back with a suit covered in red lasers that bounced off artificial fog and a suspended microphone that looked like a Mario Kart Wii remote covered in Christmas lights.

But the main attractions weren’t high-tech displays. During “City of Blinding Lights,” Bono pulled a young boy up onto the stage, did a lap of it with him at his side, and gave him his signature sunglasses to keep. At anoth-er point, he handed his mi-crophone off to an audience member, who belted out several verses.

If there was one complaint to be made about the show, be-sides the fact that parking for it was unreasonably expensive and the traffic getting out took hours, it was that it was a few songs too long. Concert orga-nizers perhaps wanted to make sure spectators got their mon-ey’s work – tickets ranged from $30 to $250 – but the show had more false endings than the fi-nal Lord of the Rings movie. All in all, U2’s set lasted over two hours, and they could have gone out on a stronger note.

But truth be told, the con-cert was as “Magnificent” as advertised. Bono and The Edge have not forgotten how to capture, entertain and in-spire a crowd over the years and did so to great effect Sat-urday. U2 allowed both casual and devoted fans to not only enjoy music and a show, but to feel as though they were a part of something bigger than themselves, even if only for one night.

SportsJunior Tyler Lassiter’s two goals lead Pack past Eagles 

Alanna HowardStaff Writer

The Pack trumped the Bos-ton College Eagles in Dail Soc-cer Stadium Friday night in the second overtime, 2-1. The win gave the Pack its first ACC win of the year and took the team to 6-2-1(1-2-1 ACC), while dropping the Eagles to 5-5(1-2 ACC). Junior Tyler Lassiter scored both goals for the Pack, giving him his second game this year in which he scored two goals.

The first half saw the Eagles get on the board early, with a penalty kick taken by Conor Fitzpatrick in the fifth minute putting the score at 1-0. Ten minutes later a handball in the box gave the Pack a chance to tie the game, but redshirt senior Ronnie Bouemboue’s attempt was denied by Eagle’s goalie Justin Luthy, leaving the score 1-0 Boston College at half.

Half time saw a change in starting positions, as Lassiter moved from defender to left outside midfield, a spot that has had been temporarily filled by several different players due to injuries. The move proved to be very beneficial as Lassiter went on to break the Pack’s yearlong streak of missing penalty kicks when he put one into the net in the 64th minute. Lassiter said he stepped up to make sure the team did not miss another.

“I knew we hadn’t hit one

[penalty kick] all year,” Lassit-er said. “So I just tried to hit it hard and place it in the corner, hoping for the best.”

The Pack f inal ly broke through in the second over-time when Las-siter scored his second goal of the day in the 102nd minute of f a combo from Bouem-boue to give the team the lead and victory.

Evan Matonis, a freshman in First Year College, thought the goal was pure textbook.

“The guys really connected there at the end,” Matonis said.

“The team showed great team-work throughout and it came through in the end.”

State’s offense kept the Eagle defense on their toes throughout the game. In the first half the Pack out shot Boston College six to four and in the second half and over-time it increased that deficit, at-tempt i ng 13 shots on goal to Boston College’s

three. However, h ig her shot

amounts usually leads to more offside penalties, which was the case for the Pack, which

had five during the game. As-sistant Head Coach Dan Popik did not believe this to be a ma-jor problem.

“Offsides are not that bad, it shows we’re looking forward, taking some risks, keeping the other team’s defense stretched a little bit,” Popik said.

Although the Pack took mul-tiple shots, several opportuni-ties were lost due to lack of or-ganization. Popik says the team could have put the game away quickly but failed to do so.

“Our composure and finish-ing was not very good today,” Popik said. “They got an early penalty kick, we had several chances and finally put one in. But we came away with the win and that’s what’s important.”

DaviD Mabe/TechnicianDefender Farouk Bseiso tries to stop a shot from Boston College Friday. The Wolfpack won 2-1 in overtime.

The Pack hit a match low .000 in the set, with just six kills and six attack errors.

“After the break the mo-mentum kind of switched and we weren’t able to pick it back up,” Kretchman said. “Little things just started to break down and we weren’t able to finish.”

By the fifth set, the mo-mentum was fully in favor of the Terps. Maryland was able to easily capture the set 15-5, hitting .706 and com-mitting zero attack errors.

“[Maryland] expected to come in here and win,” Stubbs said. “So when they were down 2-0, they were just like, ‘Whatever, we’ll come back and still win.’”

Stubbs said the comeback was enabled by proper ad-justments by the Terrapins and a lack of adjustments by the Pack.

“They started making ad-justments and we did not do it at all,” Stubbs said. “Too many balls hit the f loor

without an effort.”Wood was one of the few

bright spots for the team, notching 18 kills and 11 digs, but Wood said the individual statistics don’t matter.

“It doesn’t matter to me,” Wood said. “We lost.”

Wood does say that the team’s performance in the first two sets does send a message to the ACC.

“We’re not just going to lay down,” Wood said. “We’re go-ing to fight until the end.”

Stubbs said the first two sets show how close the team is to pulling out wins.

“The fact is that we know we’re so close,” Stubbs said. “The key is for [the team] to believe we’re that close.”

The team followed up its emotional game against Mary-land with a 3-0 loss at the hands of Boston College. After the weekend, State’s record drops to 7-12 (0-4 ACC), with the team hitting the road next weekend with games at Vir-ginia and Virginia Tech.

“We can’t dwell on any-thing,” Kretchman said. “We know what we have to do.”

Men’s soCCer

After scoring early, the Deacs rallied back and forth with the Pack until Wake Forest eventually took the lead before half time.

“We had way too many penalties, way too many mistakes,” Toney Baker, redshirt senior halfback, said. “It was a pretty dis-

appointing loss and we really need to get together and get ready to practice this week.”

Young, as the leader and old-est member of the team, said he told the team it can’t dwell on this game’s poor performance.

“I just have to do the best I can to encourage these guys and you can’t dwell on the last play, not in the game of football you can’t,” Young said. “You can’t dwell on the past.”

Errors from within play a part in team’s 30-24 loss to Wake Forest

Jen HankinDeputy Sports Editor

With 2:02 left in the game, State was down by six. The ball was in redshirt sophomore quarterback Russell Wilson’s hands, and the Pack was on Wake For-est’s 29-yard line. State fans held out hope for a late lead over the Demon Deacons. However, Wilson’s pass to redshirt junior wide re-ceiver Donald Bowens in the end-zone was thrown high and intercepted for the second time that game. These plays haunted the Pack all game long and led to the loss.

“I saw opportunity,” Wil-son said. “I went for it and they won. It was a tough play.”

A s t h e Deacons ran t he c lock out , t hey claimed victory over the “self-destructive” Wolf-pack, 30-24.

“We continue to self-de-struct,” coach Tom O’Brien said. “We have to do work on the practice field and

we’ve got to do that with coach-ing and some have to grow up too. It’s youth — it’s no excuse but they have got to grow up fast.”

State, now 3-2(0-1 ACC), suffered from eight penalties, missed tackles, two fumbles and two interceptions. The in-

terceptions marked the end to Wil-son’s NCAA record-breaking streak with

379 straight pass attempts without an interception.

Ending the streak was not something that concerned Wilson.

“They made plays at the end of the game,” O’Brien said. “We

had our chances - we didn’t make the plays when we had our opportunities.”

The Wolfpack defense en-tered the game leading the na-tion, allowing only 201.2 yards per game. It created three turn-overs in the first half, and man-aged to sack Wake’s quarter-back, Riley Skinner, six times,

the most he had been sacked in his career. The first was by defensive end Willie Young, causing a fumble which led to the Pack’s first touchdown early in the game. Young ended the night tying his career high sacks with three.

According to Young, his big plays on defense are insignifi-

cant if, in the end, State does not come out with a victory.

“When the game is over I hate it,” Young said. “It’s like the performance I put up to-day was pointless because we couldn’t pull the win off.”

Glance lands job with Lady Volunteers

The University of Tennessee Athletic Department announced last week the hire of Stephanie Glance as a special assistant to the women’s basketball head coach for the Lady Vols. Glance served as interim coach for the Wolfpack in the absence of Kay Yow, who died in January. Glance was a candidate to replace Yow in April. Kellie Harper, a former point guard at Tennessee who played for Pat Summitt, was selected to take over N.C. State’s women’s basketball program. While working under Yow, the Wolfpack made 11 NCAA appearances, four Sweet 16 berths and one Final Four.

State drops two set lead, falls in five sets to Maryland

Brent KitchenStaff Writer

Pink filled historic Reyn-olds Coliseum Friday night as women’s volleyball host-ed its second annual Dig Pink event against Mary-land. Sophomore outside hitter Kelly Wood said the team was excited about not only playing at home, but also playing for a good cause.

“All of us were excited,” Wood said. “It’s exciting to wear pink, to represent N.C. State, to represent Kay Yow and to honor her.”

The Pack opened the match in a tight set, which included seven tie scores. With the score tied 24-24, a kill from senior middle blocker Lisa Kretchman and an attack error by Maryland combined to give

the set to State, 26-24.In the second set, the team

was able to carry through the momentum they had from the first set into the second. The Wolfpack jumped out to a 10-4 lead and never looked back. A match-high .480 hit-ting along with a Ma r y l a nd match-low .189 hitting gave the Pack the second set 25-17.

“ We d e f i -nitely came out with a lot of energy and the momentum was definitely on our side,” Kretchman said.

Coach Charita Stubbs said the team’s success in the first two sets was the result of good preparation.

“We followed the scouting re-port and we actually believed in ourselves the entire time,” Stubbs said.

A different team returned to the court for N.C. State follow-ing the break after the second set, a less intense team accord-ing to Stubbs.

“We got lax,” Stubbs said. “We expected them to do the same thing they did before and

give up.”Maryland

did not give up. After the Pack earned a 9-8 lead , Ma r y-land was able to capitalize on three straight N.C. State at-tack errors to gain a lead they would not lose, grabbing the set 25-19.

The fourth set was close in the beginning with the teams exchanging blows to a 9-9 tie. Maryland however went on a 16-3 run to earn the set 25-12.
