Yow’s long-time assistant no longer a candidate for head coaching job

Staff Report

Stephanie Glance, a 15-year veteran of late coach Kay Yow’s coaching staff, is not being con-sidered to succeed her former colleague according to Ron-nie Yow, Yow’s brother. Ron-nie Yow told WRAL Thursday night Glance was Yow’s choice to take over the program in her absence, but that the Athletics Department was no longer con-sidering Glance as an option.

Yow had coached the Wolf-pack women’s basketball team for 34 seasons until she passed away earlier this year from breast cancer. N.C. State’s me-dia relations office would not confirm any news concerning the coaching search and said no new information will be dis-cussed until a new coach was announced.

“We’re not confirming any-thing,” Mark Kimmel, a media relations representative, said Friday.

More information about the women’s basketball coaching vacancy should come within the next two weeks, as Athlet-ics Director Lee Fowler said earlier in the year he wanted to make the hiring decision by mid-April.

Bell Tower project takes o!Derek MedlinManaging Editor

Every hour, on the hour, it sounds. One day, it may even ring.

The Memorial Bell Tower may be the University’s most recog-nizable visual feature and serves as the landmark of the official seal.

It’s been a place to celebrate, protest and even mourn.

Just in the last year, students used the Bell Tower to wel-come Presi-dent Barack Obama to the White House, protest t he conf lict be-tween Israel a n d G a z a and mourn the death of women’s bas-ketball coach Kay Yow.

But whi le the Bell Tow-er serves as the symbol of the University and a memorial to fallen World War I veterans, its name raises a question for Matt Robbins, a graduate student in architecture.

“Why doesn’t the Bell Tower have bells in it?” Robbins asked himself.

Robbins’ 2004 discovery that the Bell Tower did not have a single bell in it started a journey which, as of 2009, has him poised to begin a fundraising project to get bells in the tower bearing that name.

“When I look at the tower, I see an unfinished canvas. It is a suitable memorial, but it could be much better than it is,” Rob-

bins said. “It was supposed to be a 54-bell carillon memo-rial. The bells would serve as a constant reminder to the sacrifice of those who are memorialized by the tower.”

Robbins’ desire to get bells in the Bell Tower coincides with the University-planned renovation of the tower to im-prove the structure’s look and halt the deterioration that has occurred since its completion.

Though the two projects are undeniably connected, Rob-

bins said, the money for bel l s will come complete-l y f r o m donations while the money for the Uni-versity renovation project is f rom the state.

“The bell project would be

done completely and utterly by donations from students and alumni. No fees or tax-payer money would be put toward it,” Robbins said. “It’s only fitting that the alumni, students and community contribute to make this spe-cial. If someone is forced to give money, it doesn’t make sense.”

Robbins said he thinks it is crucial for students and alumni to latch onto a project like this because it can teach people about the history of

Mickey to surprise parents at graduation

Former SBP candidate prepares to deliver final address to senior class without his parents knowing

Ty JohnsonNews Editor

As the semester winds down and seniors look toward com-mencement, one senior has a secret he desperately wants to keep from h i s p a r-ents , but it’s not that he won’t be sitt ing w i t h h i s classmates awaiting his degree.

It’s that he’ll be en-tering with Chancellor James Oblinger and will deliver the final student commencement speech to the 2009 senior class.

The Commencement Advisory Committee selected John Mick-ey, a senior in business adminis-tration, to be the student speaker at this spring’s commencement ceremony May 9.

The committee notified Mick-ey with a phone call and a letter, but his parents will be the last to find out.

“Everyone knows but my mom and dad,” Mickey said.

“You come to graduation ex-pecting to see your child sitting down with everybody else, but he walks in with the chancellor. They’ll be shocked and I’ll get a good kick out of it afterward.”

Mickey said the idea of sur-prising his parents with his role

as commencement speaker the day of graduation came mostly from the joy he gets when he’s pleasantly shocked.

“I love surprises,” Mickey said.

“Anytime I can squeeze a sur-prise out of something, I’ll do it.”

Senior Class President Adam Compton said choosing a speak-er from the field was difficult,

but ultimately the committee wanted to make sure the stu-dent speech was something

News

Alterations include adding statement regarding Free Expression Tunnel

James Cox Senior Staff Writer

The Brick , a guidebook the Univer-sity distributes at convocation, w i l l i nc lude copies from last year as well as 1,500 new cop-ies which will cost $8,500 to print, accord-i ng to Deb Luckadoo, di-rector of Cam-pus Activities.

After the Free Expression Tunnel inci-dent following the election of President Barack Obama Nov. 5, students will re-ceive a new version which will include a short statement regarding the results of the Campus Culture Task Force.

Matt Rust, assistant director of First Year College and a key figure in the dis-

tribution of the publication, said the statement will be brief.

“The statement will mention how Chancellor Oblinger and the student body have reaffirmed their commitment for the Free Expression Tunnel to be used with civility and respect,” Rust said.

Luckadoo said the idea of the new cop-ies is to include updates.

She said last year’s copy of The Brick featured the Free Expres-sion Tunnel in two different sections, Traditions and Land-marks.

“In the updated version, the Free Expression Tunnel will only be seen in the Landmarks sec-tion,” she said.

Luckadoo said the goal of The Brick is not to spread the new message about the Free Expression Tunnel, but to take

advantage of “whatever opportunity” is available.

Rust said removing information about the Free Expression Tunnel from the Traditions section came in response to student feedback.

“Students kept asking why the tunnel was in there twice,” Rust said.

Rust didn’t discuss details about exact changes but said they will be finalized be-fore the May 4 deadline. He said the ref-erence to late women’s basketball coach Kay Yow will be updated.

In addition to the Yow refer-ence and Free Expression Tun-nel statement, Luckadoo said the new copies will include sec-tions on Home-coming and the Inter-Residence Council.

According to Luckadoo, The Brick is supposed to serve as a his-tory book to incoming students.

“They will show their kids, nieces and nephews 30 to 40 years from now and say look at N.C. State.”

Luckadoo said rather than throwing out copies from last year, some students will receive a non-updated copy while others will receive an updated copy.

She said the updated copies will serve as a supplement to the old copies.

Rust said the motivation for The Brick came from Technician editorials during

the 2006-07 school year about the lack of awareness of tradi-tions and history at NCSU.

“I would love for [The Brick] to be picked up as a tradi-tion,” Rust said.

Ann Babcock, a freshman in textile engineering, sa id as an out-of-state student, The Brick taught her more about the University than what she learned

on her campus tour. “The Brick is good because it gets fresh-

men excited about everything the school has,” she said.

Babcock said she kept her copy, but many students do not.

“Lots of them get thrown out by people who don’t care about it, but for people who do care it’s really interesting.”

the graduating class could relate to as it leaves the University.

“We wanted the speech to tie some things together and send students out with a mission,” Compton said.

“We wanted it to connect the class one last time and I think his speech did that. From a student perspective, Mickey offered what we were looking for in a gradua-tion speech.”

Still, Mickey said the honor of speaking to his classmates on their last day as undergraduates was an unfathomable opportu-nity.

“I’ve had a phenomenal experi-ence at N.C. State,” Mickey said.

“And I’ve had the opportu-nity to do a lot of great things. I see [being the commencement speaker] as the capstone.”

Mickey also said delivering a final message from a peer to his classmates would become a great memory.

“Being able to share this mo-ment in time with my entire se-nior class will be sweet.” Mickey said.

The prospect of speaking to a crowd doesn’t shake Mickey’s focus either, he said, because he’s been doing it his entire life.

“Public speaking has never been a huge fear of mine,” Mick-ey said.

“I remember, when I was 16, I had to give a speech for an event I was leading for scouts in front of 1,200 people.”

In college, Mickey said he got further experience with speak-ing to crowds through being a resident advisor and involve-ment in Student Government, but that being the student speak-er at his commencement would be on an entirely different level.

“Being the student speaker is almost unrankable,” Mickey said of his final honor as an under-graduate in comparison to his other accomplishments, espe-cially in terms of involving his parents.

“Even though my parents don’t know I’m the speaker, it will be something that really communi-cates to them what I’ve done at N.C. State,” Mickey said.

“I can call them and tell them I’m a co-chair for Service Ra-leigh or I’m running for student body president, but at the end of the day they can’t experience it. This will be something they can experience.”

In a video conference Wednes-day, vice chancellors and pro-vosts from all 16 UNC system

schools discussed recommenda-tions from the commission UNC system president Erskine Bowles formed to discuss policy on hate crime.

The commission recommended a system-wide policy regarding hate crime, personal violence and intimidation, as well as a possible diversity education class for in-coming freshmen.

Making a recommendation is wonderful, but it is something anyone could have done — in short, the committee has deter-mined that hate crimes are bad, and the UNC system should do something to educate students about diversity.

Students do not need a com-

mittee of vice chancellors and provosts to state the obvious.

What students deserve is a con-crete policy regarding the UNC system’s stance on hate crimes that leaves implementation, en-forcement and diversity educa-tion to the individual institution.

The event that sparked the cre-ation of multiple committees on hate crime, campus culture and diversity education occurred six months ago on the day after the presidential elections.

Other major issues, particularly regarding economic recession and the resulting system-wide budget cuts, have come into the picture and will no doubt dis-tract administrators from the

serious problem of hate crime on campus.

If it takes six months for various committees to tell the Board of Governors that hate crimes are bad and we should do something to prevent them, how long will it take the next committee to come up with a real policy?

This is no solution — it is a bla-tant attempt to avoid tackling the difficult issue of balancing free speech against hate crime on col-lege campuses by burying it in bureaucracy and subcommittees.

What the UNC system should do is come up with a specific definition of hate crime, personal violence and intimidation on its campuses.

This gives all universities in the system the opportunity to alter their policies appropriately.

As for diversity education, each university should be responsible for crafting a program suitable for its students needs.

There is no cookie-cutter way to educate students about diver-sity and hate crimes, as every university attracts a variety of students.

Yet the UNC system has done nothing of the sort, and this must change. Hate crimes and discrimination will not go away simply because people want it to fade away — such attitudes will only go away with decisive, con-crete action.

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. THE ISSUE:The commission UNC system president Erskine Bowles formed recommended deferring creation of hate crime policy and diversity education to another committee.

OUR OPINION:Referring hate crime policy to another committee essentially kills this important issue, which universities need to address.

THE SOLUTION:The UNC system must come up with a concrete set of rules governing hate crimes and leave enforcement and education to the individual institution.

This week’s poll question:

Did you have trouble finding classes necessary to your major for next semester?

Visit www.technicianonline.com to cast your vote.

The United States’ re lat ionsh ip w it h North Korea has been

strained, to say the very least.Natu-

rally, there is going to be hostil-ity toward North Ko-rea, af ter a l l , t hey have gross-ly violated a Security

Council resolution with the launch of a rocket this month. But the rest of the world, spe-cifically South Korea, Japan and the United States, must come up with some sort of so-lution to dealing with nuclear threats.

I had the honor of meeting Chung-dong Young, a 2007 presidential candidate for the United New Democratic Party of South Korea and the former unification minister under Roh Moo-hyun to dis-cuss how to deal with the tiny but hostile nation.

According to Chung, there are three ways to tackle North Korea’s nuclear problem — force, engagement and dis-engagement.

The only way to reason-ably deal with North Korea is through engagement. They have already shown us they are capable of causing massive harm and massive hysteria in the media.

Engagement doesn’t mean military engagement. It can include having open talks and negotiating with them, possibly their nuclear reactor for humani-tarian aid.

Force, especially with North Korea, will get us nowhere but a tougher situation.

President Bill Clinton had negotiations between North Korea and the U.S. set up, until power shifted and foreign poli-cies changed in November 2000, according to Chung.

President George W. Bush’s administration initially refused any direct talk with North Korea, and North Korea backed off from the nuclear proliferation treaty in 2003 and announced it had nuclear weapons in 2005. This shows coercion does not work in dealing with North Korea.

Now Kim Jong-il is trying to f lex his muscles at new lead-ers — South Korea’s President Lee Myung-bak and President Barack Obama — by launching rockets and rebuilding his coun-try’s nuclear facilities.

North Korea probably felt cornered after having shaky relations with South Korea and seeing its leader deal with health problems.

It is important that countries try to work with North Korea so, in the long term, a trusting relationship can be formed.

Having talks is the first step to unification of North and South Korea. Though the prospect of bringing together the last and

only divided country in the world is far in the future, ev-ery step matters.

What I admired about Chung’s approach to the heavy topic of North Korea was that he didn’t only talk about disarming them be-cause they’re dangerous or volatile. He wanted to have one Korea with cultural, so-cial, financial and political unity.

Though I would be lucky to see this happen in my lifetime, we must take leaps forward instead of steps back.

It would be great triumph to work with North Korea, even just to have open talks with them again. Our lead-ers have a tough situation on their hands, because they must think about what will happen tomorrow and how this will affect relations in the future.

This delicate step by step process needs a lot of pa-tience, civil dialog and en-gagement.

There’s no easy way to say exactly what the U.S. should do, but the it should do all it can to have peaceful talk and possibly avoid conflict.

Sawrey is sorely wrongBenton Sawrey’s article slamming

President Obama was wrong on more counts than one.

First off, Obama is not regulating the banks for a “political power grab done to satisfy some pathetic political agenda,” as Mr. Sawrey claimed.

He is having to step in and regulate the banks to prevent a complete eco-nomic collapse because the Bush ad-ministration failed to regulate them and let corporate CEOs run wild and do as they please.

Second, the Bush administration managed to gain the disdain of our country from nearly every other coun-try in the world.

In case Sawrey hasn’t been watch-ing the news, foreign countries are beginning to like us again now that we have a president who isn’t a lying, alcoholic war pig.

What I want to know from Sawrey and other conservatives is why are you so quick to slam a president who has been in office a mere three months, but are unwilling to take re-sponsibility for the horrid actions of a president you voted in twice?

Charlie Burnettsophomore, First Year College

Don’t disrespect meat-eatersFirst of all, I would like to applaud

the courage of Senior Staff Columnist Benton Sawrey for his most recent article tracking Obama’s progress as President.

It is about time someone spread the truth around this campus that Obama is NOT sticking to his original cam-paign pitch. Tip of the hat to you sir!

Secondly, in response to the recent rash of animal rights letters, I would like to say get your panties out of that wad and get a grip on reality!

You, me and all of mankind have been designed and outfitted with in-cisor and canine teeth to cut and tear apart the flesh of animals, along with molars to grind and crush it up for our consumption and survival.

For animal rights activists to discriminate against other normal people from eating meat is a slap in God’s face.

They obviously are socially chal-lenged and they like to join groups like PETA and various animal cruelty Web sites for attention and self justifi-cation for their own self-loathing.

We didn’t get to the top of the food chain for nothing. We are omnivores, meaning we eat both plants and MEAT. Nothing puts a bigger smile on my face than the sound and smell of bacon sizzling in a frying pan in the morning.

I’m sorry, that’s a lie. Eating that delicious, crunchy, hot, thick sliced bacon in the presence of an animal

rights activist puts an even bigger smile on my face!

The animal rights hippies are out of control. If you happen to know one, please tell them to eat a cheeseburg-er (with bacon on it). In the words of John Boy and Billy’s Mad Max, “It’s called the food chain. You’re on the top. DEAL WITH IT!”

Nate Ellissenior, civil engineering

Progressive tuition is not a good idea

The benefits stated by Conrad Ply-ler in his Thursday column “University needs progressive tuition” do not even come close to countering the cons.

I agree that a progressive tuition scheme would make total loan pay-ments for graduates and total ex-penses to dropouts less, but those are hardly substantial benefits.

Those two positives do not com-pare to the unnecessary confusion and stress a plan like this would cer-tainly create, the unfair advantage easier majors have with graduating earlier and the added cost to students who work while taking classes.

Plyler says that “maybe tuition would increase, but we would be pay-ing less; because, we would be more motivated to finish college within three years.”

Let me set one thing straight, grad-uating in three years is both academic and mental suicide for engineering students (21 hour semesters!).

Even if students managed to gradu-ate in three years to avoid the cost of tuition, rates would still increase to offset that loss of revenue.

It doesn’t matter how you spin it, no change in the tuition plan will lower the total cost.

Not only that, but this makes pay-ing tuition more difficult for those who co-op, intern or work while tak-ing classes.

These activities invariably force lighter schedules and more semes-ters. Progressive tuition will make paying for college more difficult for working students because every extra year becomes far more expensive.

BELL TOWER TIMELINE

the people responsible for its original construction.

An untold historyWhile some people see the Bell Tower

as the University’s crown jewel and think of the tower fondly, few know its true history.

Few know the idea for the tower came from a two paragraph letter sent to alumni secretary E.B. Owen from Vance Sykes (Class of 1907). Few know the original stone used in construction is from right here in North Carolina — Mt. Airy, to be exact. Few know construction on the tower had to be halted during the Great Depression and finished a decade later in 1937. Few would know, unless they really look, that the Bell Tower con-tains no real bells, but speakers which are controlled from Holladay Hall across Dunn Avenue.

Once Robbins discovered the tower had no bells, he said he had to find out why.

Since then, Robbins has dedicated much of his time and hours of effort to discovering the true story of the tower.

That search has changed the way Robbins looks at the tower. Not as the crowning jewel of N.C. State, but as an unfinished memorial that deserves to be completed to fulfill its original 1920 design.

“When I look at things on campus, especially the tower, I begin to under-stand a lot of what our forefathers had been thinking,” he said. “It’s important to look back and get in touch with the people who pave the way for the things that are happening now.”

Another largely unknown aspect of the history of both

the tower and campus as a whole, which Robbins discovered during his research, is the long-running connection between the University and Freemasons.

Freemasons are members of a fraternal society dedicated to the brotherhood of

man under the fatherhood of a supreme being. Dozens of the founding members of the University were Freemasons, in-cluding Sykes, the alumnus who initially

Features/SportsLIFE & STYLE

COURTESY MATT ROBBINSThis photo was taken in 1926 when the Bell Tower construction stopped due to funding issues.

suggested the construction of a memorial to those who died in World War I.

“Since freemasonry is primarily a fraternity orga-nization, it already has that idea of brotherhood,” Robbins said. “The community service they do speaks to the family aspect of it.”

Robbins said it was that long-standing connec-tion between Freemasons and campus that led him to ask the Masons for money April 1 to get his fundraising process started. The group gave Robbins about $2,000 to print T-shirts, which Robbins said will get the project off the ground and running.

Robbins said he hopes to see the Bell Tower have the 54 bell carillon that its designers intended in 1920. Had the tower been finished, bells and all, it would have been the largest carillon in the world until 1930, Robbins said.

“The tower was supposed to be something that no one had ever even thought about before. No bell foundry in the world felt comfortable casting 54 bells in concert to play with each other,” he said. “This was precedent setting. It’s amazing to see this concept of ‘let’s think big’ all the way back in 1920. It’s good to see that was there then.”

A project on holdWhile Robbins has started the process of raising

funds for the project, it is unclear when students will be able to hear bells ring the hour.

Because of the economic crisis, Gov. Bev Perdue put a ban on new capital construction projects in the fall of 2008 to save money.

“It all depends on how the economy is six months or a year from now when the executive order is lifted,” Robbins said. “Then we can begin construc-tion on the renovation of the tower that had been on the schedule many years earlier.”

Only then will the first six bells be able to fit into the tower and become operational. Robbins said the six initial bells, the biggest of the 54, and the infrastructure to make the bells operational will cost about $300,000. The full project would cost more, but Robbins said it isn’t clear at this point how much.

Robbins said the current state of the economy may actually help in the fundraising process.

“Because the economy is in the state that it is, people understand what other people are going through,” he said. “It allows people to relate and connect back to the Great Depression and what the tower went through before.”

Robbins said the initial response to the project has been positive from students, alumni and the University.

“People from all over the United States have con-tacted us about giving,” he said. “It speaks to the connection we all have as students, the spirit of N.C. State. It’s not the fact that we have an excellent curriculum, but we as students have the ability to

change lives.”Ches McDowell, a sophomore in political science,

said the tower deserves to be finished. “The Bell Tower is the centerpiece of our Univer-

sity. Carolina has the Old Well and Duke has their Chapel,” he said. “It not being complete is almost like our University isn’t complete. With the project being privately funded I’m a big supporter.”

The key now, Robbins said, will be getting stu-dents and alumni to buy into the project and do-nate money.

“The nature of the tower is that the sweat, blood and hard work of our forefathers is encased in the tower and it’s only fitting that the alumni, students and community contribute in the same way to make this special,” Robbins said.

a strategic change to the lineup. Welte typically plays number one doubles with partner Jullian Sullivan, while Weinacker plays num-ber two doubles with partner Jamie Pulgar.

Saturday, Choboy switched things up a bit, playing Welte and Weinacker at number one.

“It was something that we’ve been thinking about since we lost Freddy [Pran-decki] earlier on,”Choboy said of Prandecki, who has been out of the line up since March 18 due to an injury to his hand. “We have been kind of strained in doubles, particularly when we were getting a little more produc-tion out of number three with Freddy. We just thought that switching up the combina-tions a bit with Weinacker and Welte would be good and get something out of them.”

At number one doubles No. 118 Welte and No. 36 Weinacker lost their doubles match in a tie-breaker 9-8(3).

According to Welte, this sea-son has been difficult for the Pack but something it has gone through before.

“It’s kind of like our sopho-more year where different guys are playing well on different days,’ Welte said. “We just need one match where everyone comes together on the same day. So basically we have a match on Thursday, and if we can all come and play well on the same day, we can show the team that we’re a really solid team and a force to be reckoned with.”

Thursday’s match marks the first round of the ACC Champi-onships held at the Cary Tennis Center.

“I’m a lot happier with the team’s overall performance top to bottom Saturday,” Choboy said. “If we can continue to work hard for the next couple of days then we can do some good things in the ACC tournament. We can beat anyone who’s in the tourna-

ment if everyone plays well on the same day. I think we did a little bit of that Saturday, and that’s a good sign headed into the tournament.”

the Pack.“They are probably pretty

disappointed because they had a good chance to win this one and they let Duke take it away from them,” Sykes said. “Maybe we can feed off of this disappointment and realize we let it get away, and when we get in that position next time we can close the deal.”

Hill wasn’t the only golfer who played well however, as two other Pack golfers finished in the top twenty with senior Darren Black taking an eighth-place finish

shooting a two-under and junior Brad Revell finishing 19th with a one-over. Junior Kent Copeland and sophomore Chad Day fin-ished 10th and 13th, respectively.

SportsThe men’s tennis team fell 6-1 to Virginia Saturday

Jen HankinSenior Staff Writer

The No. 51 men’s tennis team dropped its final regular season match to No. 1 Virginia Satur-day, extending its losing streak to seven games.

The Pack hasn’t won a match since its contest with Maryland March 22 in College Park, Md.

“I wasn’t too concerned about the [losing] streak,” senior Christian Welte said. “But I know our team just needs one match to turn our season around and this one would have been a great opportunity. We had a lot of close matches and we just came out a little bit short.”

With the loss, State drops to 9-14 (3-8 ACC). The top-ranked, undefeated Cavaliers moved to a perfect 26-0 (11-0 ACC).

No. 36 senior Jay Weinacker

pulled out the lone win for the Wolfpack as well as marking his 104th career win. He beat No. 17 Dominic Inglot in straight sets, 6-1, 6-4.

“I played this guy last year and going into the match I knew we matched up pretty well,” Wein-acker said. “I had to break his

serve early and just kind of stayed on him in the second set.”

According to coach Jon Choboy, most matches were very close, despite the box score.

“Welte’s first set took an hour and a half,” Choboy said. “When Jay [Weinacker] had won his match and Jamie [Pulgar] just

split— there was a lot of oppor-tunities there. But Virginia has only lost one match in the past two years so we’re not too con-cerned with that.”

Virginia swept the doubles point despite Choboy making

If State brings in a new coach, that tradition will come to a screeching halt. I under-stand that Fowler wants the team to grow and progress instead of basking in Yow’s incredible legacy while toil-ing in statistical obscurity. But Glance could bring this team back to its former glory.

Glance has coached the N.C. State women alongside Yow for fifteen years. She knows this school, this program, and has earned the respect of the play-ers currently on State’s roster. She has given a large portion

of her life to this program. Why wouldn’t the job go to her?

As Fowler has not publicly stat-ed his reasons for opting to go with an outside hire, we are left to guess his motives. Perhaps he thinks the program is stale and new blood is needed within the organization. Perhaps he was less than pleased with the team’s play during the end of the past season, while Glance was at the helm. Glance can not be faulted for the Pack’s early ousting from the ACC tournament. The Wolf-pack players, as well as Glance, underwent a severe emotional shock after the death of their friend, guide and mentor, and the team performed quite well given the circumstances, defeat-ing No. 17 Virginia and several other ACC opponents. If Fowler wants immediate results, hir-ing a brand new coach is a risky move. Plus, more upheaval prob-ably isn’t what the doctor ordered for the current roster.

Look around the NCAA. Every successful coach was an assistant coach at one point. Glance lacks experience as a head coach, but how is she supposed to step into that role if she is not given a chance? Glance would provide a practically seamless transition for a team in turmoil, and she has earned that opportunity.

DID YOU KNOW?

After letting a five-fun lead slip away, State allows three runs in the bottom of the 10th inning

In what proved to be a wild weekend of Wolfpack baseball, the Pack severely hampered its ACC chances Sunday at Jack Coombs Field after dropping the fi-nal game of its season series against Duke, 8-7, in extra innings.

“This puts us in a bad posi-tion, but as long as there are games left, we’ll keep fighting until the end,” junior pitcher John Lambert said.

Friday’s scheduled game was rained out and tabled for a windy, mild Saturday. The Pack split the double header with the Devils, winning game one 3-1 and falling off 11-2 later that night.

The Pack blew two leads en route to a loss in the third and final game of the series. After letting a 5-0 lead slip away, the team built a 7-5 ad-vantage in the tenth inning, but gave up three RBI singles in the bottom of the inning to lose 8-7.

“We didn’t figure out a way to get it done,” coach Elliott Avent said.

After f lying through the first two innings of the game, State found the right swing for the first hit of the game in the top of the third. Chris

Schaeffer singled to left field, and Dallas Poulk followed with a single, pushing Schaeffer to third. John Gianis brought his teammates home on a single up the middle, putting State in the lead 2-0.

State gained momentum with three runs in the fifth and held a 5-1 lead before Duke’s Gabriel Saade hit a solo home run. State third baseman Drew Martin committed a crucial error, and shortly thereafter, Duke brought another man home to get within three runs of tying the game.

“We need to tighten our game up,” Lambert said. “We need to start putting everything into ac-tion.”

At the top of the 10th inning, Drew Poulk hit a single and Mar-tin dashed for home from second base, giving State a 6-5 lead. A balk by Duke pitcher Alex Has-san allowed Andrew Ciencin to score, extending the lead to 7-5.

In the bottom of the 10th, Duke answered with a string of RBI singles that snatched the win from the Pack’s grasp.

State committed two errors,

Spring season climaxes with tournament

Ty JohnsonNews Editor

The volleyball team returned to the hardwood of Reynolds Coliseum Sat-urday as it hosted its spring tournament. Area teams visited to play in the seven-hour round robin to gauge their teams’ progress dur-ing spring workouts and to scrimmage other teams.N.C. State entertained Elon, Campbell, UNC-Pembroke and UNC-Wilmington to culminate the spring condi-tioning season.

Mary Tendler, Elon’s coach, said the tournament was just a chance for the teams to get some action be-fore spring practices end.

“We just want to play,” Tendler said. “It doesn’t matter who is here.”Elon defeated the Wolfpack in the final match of the day, though State won all of its other contests.

Pack sophomore Kelly Wood, who a year ago was attending camp as a recruit, said the spring tournament was also a great opportunity for recruits to see how the teams they’re interested in play.

“If they come to a confer-ence game, they see us play once,” Wood said. “For me, it helped seeing a team play all day so I could see how the team worked.”

Coach Charita Stubbs re-fused to comment following the tournament.

“As long as I’m at N.C. State, you guys are never talking to me again,” Stubbs said.

Stubbs has not spoken to Technician since mid-

October due to an editorial cartoon about the volleyball team which ran Oct. 14.

UNC-Pembroke coach Jeff Billington said playing against Division I and ACC competi-tion was a good opportunity for his Braves to see how bigger, more athletic teams run their offenses.

“For us, the spring is about development and individual training,” Billington said.Billington even took a few pointers from State’s offense as he called out to his players

during their match against the Pack, “See how they use the middle? That’s how we’re going to do it in the fall.”

Senior Arlee Tamietti said hosting area teams in Reynolds was a matter of proximity, but said the benefits for the pro-gram will help the Pack finish off its spring season.

“Teams within the region come mostly because of conve-nience,” Tamietti said. “But the most important thing is that it’s competitive play.”

Pack blow lead on final round, but Matt Hill takes first place honors

Taylor BarbourStaff Writer

Sophomore Matt Hill won his third tournament of the year at the annual Intercol-legiate at River Landing Golf Course, while the Pack as a team managed a second place finish. Hill, who has now won three of his last four tournaments, continued his dominating play by shooting a four-under (68) in the final round while finishing ten-un-der for the tournament – four strokes ahead of the second place finisher.

“As a team, we played well into the first two rounds. The third round we were not able to seal the deal,” sophomore Brandon Detweiler said. “Matt played well like usual.”

The final round did not go as well for the rest of the Wolfpack, however, as the team blew a seven-shot lead in the fi-nal round and let Duke come in and take the team win for the sec-ond straight year. The Pack dominated the tournament in both early rounds on Friday posting a 10-under (563). But on Saturday, State shot a five-over (293), and finished at eight-under (856), letting Duke come in and win with a 14-under (850).

“Well today we kind of let it get away from us. We shot five over par today, we came in

with a seven shot lead over Duke, but they came out and shot eight under and played an outstand-ing round,” coach Richard Sykes said. “They just outplayed us.”

With Hill’s win, it puts him into a tie with Tim Clark, a PGA pro, for most titles won in school-history with five. The first coming last year as a freshman and the four others coming this year with one in the fall season and three in the spring. With his fourth win this year, Hill also set another school record with most titles won in a single school year with four.

“The level he is at right now is good enough, in my opinion, to

play on tour. He has to be in contention for the Ben Hogan award, which is the award for the bes t gol fer and he de-serves it. He is the best,” De-tweiler said. “He is playing great and is

playing solid golf every day and not making mistakes. I am glad he is on my team.”

After squandering a seven-stroke lead, State is still looking for that elusive first team win of the season. The second place fin-ish was the fifth of the year for

Athletics Director Lee Fowler and crew are looking to take the team in a different direc-tion. The Athletics Depart-ment can host as many pink football games as it wants and raise millions of dollars for her personal charity, but the best way to honor legendary late coach Kay Yow’s legacy is to honor her wishes.

Yow indicated that she wanted Glance to be her suc-cessor, even though it was not technically her choice. However, several media out-lets and Yow’s brother have reported that Glance is no longer in the running for the position of head coach and that Fowler is looking to hire someone outside the Uni-versity. This is not only poor recompense for everything Glance has done for the team, but a poor decision for the women’s basketball program.

I covered women’s basket-ball games several times this season, and Glance received supportive vouches from ev-ery coach questioned on the
