PREACHER DRAWS CROWD

DAVID MABE/TECHNICIANStudents crowd around Ross Jackson, a campus preacher, on the Brickyard April 13. “I think he’s a fake prophet,” Daniel Balogun, a junior in industial engineering, said. “The Bible’s about love, but he’s taking the Bible out of context.” Jackson had a permit to preach on the Brick-yard from noon to 3 p.m. “He’s got his !rst amendment rights as long as he’s got a permit,” Campus Police o"cer Michael Mullins said.

Appropriations funds will increase next yearSG will distribute more fund, promises more accountability for groups

Ty JohnsonNews Editor

Student Government will dis-tribute more money to student organizations through appro-priations requests after a fall increase in student fees.

Tim Lipka, a senior in political science and SG executive secre-tary, said 90 percent of the fee increase will go to appropria-tions—a required stipulation of the fee increase approval.

“Last year we gave out around $89,000,” Student Senate Presi-dent and former chair of the appropriations committee Kelli Rogers said. That total should be upwards of $127,000 this year ac-cording to Student Body Trea-surer Elmo Lamm, though he said he anticipated the amount would go up after some surpluses were accounted for.

A unique issue with appro-priations this past year was the involvement of Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Tom Stafford in the process. Stafford person-ally approved all appropriations requests in lieu of the budget cri-sis, but Rogers said she doesn’t anticipate it will be an issue next year.

“Dr. Stafford did not want to continually be involved in the appropriations process,” Rog-ers said. “He recognizes that it should be a Student Government decision.”

Rogers said Stafford under-stands how hard the appropria-tions committee works on re-quests, and that the time com-mitment is great.

“The committee spends over 30 hours throughout the process for each session,” she said. “He doesn’t have time to do it.”

Rogers said she can’t predict the future, and if the situation is similar to last year’s, he may have to be involved again.

“If it’s decided that fee-funded budgets apply to the state bud-get restriction then he will most likely have to oversee the pro-cess,” Rogers said.

A new committee will also help to supplement group event funding so all organizations on campus can get monetary aid from SG.

“We’ll almost have two differ-ent appropriations processes,” Rogers said. “So not only student groups but other organizations, like the Alumni Association or UAB, can get funding from our finance committee.”

Lamm said the committee will be looking to help out event planning for all campus organi-zations, though the committee name may be altered.

“It’s called the finance com-mittee dispursement, pending a more creative title,” Lamm said. “Anyone can request money to co-sponsor events.”

Rogers said the committee will help groups that find themselves incapable of hosting events to re-ceive funding.

“Something I saw from groups this year was, because of the cuts and restraints, some groups weren’t able to host their events because they couldn’t get fund-ing from other areas,” Rogers said. “Despite budget cuts and restrictions I’m sure we’ll face this year, Student Government will still be an avenue so groups can put on events they want to.”

Student Senate President Pro Tempore Jason Lindsay said on top of having more money to dis-pense, the process will also have an increased focus on account-ability for student organizations.

“Groups that received funds the last semester have to show how it was used how it was ap-propriated,” Lindsay said. “One thing that’s going to be different is we’ll require receipts.”

Lindsay said a lack of account-ability in recent years will be corrected through an emphasis on documenting expenses and training senators in the appro-priations process. Lamm said his office will also be open to review appropriations requests ahead of their scheduled times.

“Student group representatives have an opportunity to consult with the treasurer,” Lamm said. “If they want someone to look at their request, they can.”

Students veterans push to receive more credit for service, establish center

Saja HindiEditor-in-Chief

Jason Lindsay wants to see a replica of the GLBT Center — except for student veterans. He wants them to have resources and networking opportunities available to them constantly at the University. And he wants the University to give them credit where he thinks credit is due.

Lindsay, a senior in political science and Iraq War veteran who is in the Army reserve, is the founder of the N.C. State Student Veterans group, which

first started in January.“There’s a huge influx of vet-

erans coming in to N.C. State,” Lindsay said. “I spoke to some other veterans and decided to form a student veterans group on campus.”

The group has two main pri-orities, Lindsay said. One is to create a networking group for the veterans, and the second is to ad-vocate on behalf of the veterans to the University.

“It’s so hard to find individual veterans,” Lindsay said. “We want to get the word out that the student veterans group is out there. We can support each other and help each other out.”

Jeanne Chen, a senior in chem-isty and student senator, said a

student veteran approached her early in the semester who had done some research on the American Council on Education.

“It’s basically people who review veterans’ statuses and match those skills to certain sets of courses provided at their universities, so they can receive certain credit,” Chen said.

She mentioned the idea to Lindsay, who was a student senator then and is now Student Senate pro tempore, who she said seemed genuinely interested.

Lindsay also talked to Vice

Provost for Diversity and Edu-cation Jose Picart, who drafted a “Military Veterans Working Group Report.”

“I understand that there’s not a whole lot we can do, but the is-sue is they’ve spent so much time serving our country, and a lot of schools guarantee them a certain amount of credit as veterans, even military science courses, which we do have,” Chen said.

According to Lindsay, veterans at the University now receive credit for their two P.E. credits for serving, but he said he wants

to advocate for more.Lindsay said having a veterans’

resource center like that of the GLBT Center in Talley would be beneficial for veterans com-ing back to school who are in-jured or disabled or just want to connect to other veterans when returning.

The drafted report Picart sent out included recommendations for academic support services, student support services, enroll-ment management and financial assistance, an administrative and physical infrastructure and an institutional climate for veter-ans.

Chen said she feels this is an important issue.

“A lot of other universities

do [give veterans more credit hours], so why shouldn’t N.C. State give a little more than two P.E. credits? They deserve more than what they’re getting,” she said.

Lindsay said he thinks the Uni-versity has to take action on this issue, especially because there is an increase in the number of veterans transferring to the Uni-versity.

“It’s the University’s respon-sibility to step up to the plate,” he said.

And Lindsay said since the University already has a pro-gram similar to this for ROTC students, he is hoping the one for veterans’ credit will be based on that as well.

New guidelines enacted after governor attempts to make ends meet

James CoxSenior Staff Writer

Provost Larry Nielsen and Vice Chancellor Charlie Leffler out-lined the new emergency budget guidelines in an April 10 state-ment after Gov. Bev Perdue di-rected the Office of State Budget and Management to create addi-tional expenditure restrictions to have a balanced budget through the end of the fiscal year.

“The governor has directed OSBM to issue mandatory spending restrictions on hiring, other employee related increases, purchases of good/materials/ser-vices and travel for the balance of the 2008-09 fiscal year,” the joint statement said.

Nielsen said he wasn’t the best source on the topic in an e-mail, and declined to comment.

Leffler said the reason Nielsen declined comment was because the guidelines ultimately came out of Leffler’s office. He said he was willing to take responsibility for the new guidelines.

“We have a practice of putting both our names on documents that impact the University,” he said.

According to Leffler, the new guidelines come as the state is at-tempting to respond to budget and cash flow issue it is experi-encing.

“[The OSMB] is looking to re-duce expenditure, so they have placed additional parameters,” he said. “We have to further re-duce hiring and travel,” Leffler said the guidelines make excep-tions for situations directly re-lated with the classroom.

The new guidelines state that out-of-state travel not directly related to the classroom will not be allowed. Leffler said the chancellor would still be able to travel for meetings if it meets the criteria. “But if it doesn’t, then he won’t be able to.”

Leffler said the guidelines will not affect students.

Elmo Lamm, student body treasurer, said the clubs who travel will be exempt from the new guidelines. “The new bud-get restrictions don’t apply to clubs because clubs get their

money from Student Govern-ment appropriations, which are fee funded,” Lamm, a freshman in business, said.

He said no appropriations money comes from the state. “They should have no restric-tions,” Lamm said.

Leff ler said there are many positions that, if empty, could cause an annoyance to students. He said the new guidelines force vacant positions to left unfilled.

“If an adviser were to leave to-morrow, we wouldn’t be able to fill the position before June 30, because the position is not di-rectly related to the classroom,” Leffler said.

Rachel Barringer, a freshman in education, worries the inabil-ity to fill vacant advising posi-tions will put more stress on the rest of the advising staff.

“The other advisors would have to pick up the work, and would be unable to help students as adequately as they should,” she said.

Leffler said the longer the guidelines are in place, the more noticeable it will be for students. Leffler also said he can’t predict how long or if the restrictions will last after June 30.

“This is a changing situ-tation with the state that we have to monitor,” he said. “We don’t want to downgrade what we do for our core mis-sion.”

Lamm said he thinks the groups most affected will be those that need state financial aid to operate on a day-to-day basis. He also guessed some of the ramifications of the new guidelines.

“The library won’t be able to buy new books, IT won’t be able to buy computers and if I was a teacher, I would have to ask Leffler for permission to buy the paper on which I would print my final exams,” he said.

The hike belongs to us

The Hillsborough Hike is ours. We, as students, make it happen. It brings us back to our street. It

provides an opportunity to give back. It’s a heck of a good time. Here’s how we can take ownership.

Student word of mouth makes the event happen. This year, Student Government got pegged by outsiders as ‘the organizer’ of the Hillsborough Hike. While we’d love to take credit, the truth is Student Government could implode tomorrow and the show would go on. It is you, the

everyday student, that remembers the tradition, tells a friend and shows up time and again to support ‘our street.’

The hike brings us back. Every time you go on a hike, you learn something new about Hillsborough Street. Did you

!OUR VIEW"

Students need to support street

The University, students and the City of Raleigh have put forth money and effort to improve the heart of N.C. State — Hillsborough Street.

Students have put together events, such as the Hillsborough Hike and the Hillsborough Street Renaissance, and the City of Raleigh approved plans to improve Hillsborough Street in June.

The only way Hillsborough Street is going to improve is for its custom-ers — made up of mostly students, to support businesses.

This doesn’t mean just visiting Hillsborough Street to buy a quick lunch. It means going there any time of day and also visiting it instead of going to alternative cities on the weekends, such as Chapel Hill or Greenville, on weekends or at night.

But students can only do so much, and Hillsborough Street needs cooperation from all sides.

The University can help support Hillsborough Street by integrating board bucks or meal plans into businesses along the street, which is a goal of the Campus Enterprise Division.

Student Body President Jim Ceresnak said being able to use board bucks or meal plans in businesses on Hillsborough Street would make it easier for students and would leave students with more options.

If the University goes through with this, it will not only boost business on Hillsborough Street, but it will also give students more options for places to eat or shop and may make the University more appealing to prospective students.

The City of Raleigh must also put forth more effort to help Hillsborough Street quickly.

The City of Raleigh has already approved almost $10 million for the Hillsborough Street Phase 1 Roundabout Project, which would make improvements from Gardner Street to Oberlin Road. Since the money for the project has already been put aside, Raleigh should begin con-struction as soon as possible. The day after graduation would be ideal.

The project may hurt businesses during the time of construction. Once it is done, Hillsborough Street will see an immediate impact. And Raleigh wants to see these changes soon, then it should do construc-tion during summer vacation when there is significantly less traffic around campus.

Hillsborough Street needs a facelift to survive through hard economic times, and the only way it can get through it is if it has support from the University, students and the City of Raleigh.

TECHNICIAN focused

But according to Pearl Cafe co-owner Nathan Phillips, the city has been drag-ging its feet for far too long.

“They’ve been talking about it for eight years,” Phillips said. “They were supposed to start last May, now they’re thinking of postponing this year’s May start time.”

Student Senate President Kelli Rogers said the revitalization of Hillsborough Street was an issue when she was a fresh-

man and looks to still be an issue going into her senior year.

“When I was a freshman, they had set the date for it to begin that summer,” Rog-ers said. “That was 2007, and we’re going into the summer of 2009.”

Rogers said she hoped to experience the new look Hillsborough Street throughout her undergraduate career, but won’t be on campus for its completion.

“I was looking forward to seeing the new Hillsborough Street before I graduated,” Rogers said. “Now, because of whatever reasons, it’s something I’m working onto leave as a legacy for future students.”

Rogers said the completion of the Hillsborough Street project will be the realization of a long-term initiative to engulf the area as part of campus.

“Right now Hillsborough Street is viewed as a border to campus,” Rogers said. “I would really like it to be viewed as a part of the N.C. State community.

Still, Phillips’ frustration with the slow process of getting the renovations started is also fed by the changes to the plans

and renderings for the street, which he still isn’t sure of.

“I don’t know what it looks like,” Phil-lips said of the latest plans for the street. “Meetings don’t do any good when they tell you things are set into place, but they’re not.”

Phillips is also wary of the construction process itself since it’s taking so long to get started.

“I fear when people can’t get to my door,” Phillips said. “I’m worried the things that keep them from starting will keep them from fin-

Almost a month after the first Hillsborough Renaissance, pa-trons may expect vendors to be enthusiastically championing the Hillsborough Street renovations the City of Raleigh is

planning to begin.

STREET HELP MAY COME TOO LATE FOR SOME

Renaissance helps street grow

It started as the basement musings of three students at the University. We were impatient, not wanting to

wait until we graduated to create posi-tive change in our community. We were audacious, believing we could achieve anything we dreamed if we put our minds together and worked hard. We were three precocious idealists, until our dream became reality in a major way: the Hillsborough Street Renaissance.

The festival was born out of a desire to recognize and diminish inequality. The non-profit organizations we sought to

help, Engineers Without Borders, MorLove and Soles4Souls, understood that as much of the world becomes wealthier, many communities face burgeoning poverty.

Hillsborough Street a dump, protest is in order

Aren’t you tired of worrying about which beggar is going to approach you on Hillsborough Street, how

many brick sidewalk pavers you’re going to trip over, how many parking tickets you will get today or why you have to go all the way downtown to have a pleasur-able evening? What about UNC-Chapel Hill students making you feel jealous about how much fun Franklin Street is, or why you can’t get a meal-plan meal after 4:30 p.m. north of the Free Expression Tunnel?

Well, the businesses of Hillsborough Street share your con-cerns. It has been stated that N.C. State is a very good school, but not a fun school. Therefore, future athletes go elsewhere to play ball.

However, change is approaching Hillsborough Street this

Franklin Street is better

Franklin Street is better than Hillsborough Street? Whether or not this is a touchy subject for N.C.

State students due to this existing rivalry, the facts still rule over biased opinion.

Chapel Hill is a college town, whereas Raleigh is the capital of the North Caro-lina. Why is this relevant to the debatable topic here? Chapel Hill, being a college town, means everything revolves around the school and the main street through the school, which is Franklin Street, not the town of Chapel Hill itself.

Raleigh is a town that revolves around the state, not NCSU, so it tends to look at Hillsborough Street as a part of the city instead of part of the school.

We, as students, may not view it this way, but the city does.

1.The city will redo the curbs at the corner of Horne Street and HIllsborough Street. The plans will also redo all sidewalks and bricks.

2.Plans show there will be more concrete added to the curb at the intersection of Gardner Street and Hillsborough Street.

3.Plans show that the city will add new greenery to the west side of Pogue Street, while keeping the existing trees on the east side.

5.The student group Finish the Bell Tower is raising money to put a 54 bell carillon system in the Bell Tower. The first phase of the project will be to put the six largest bells in, at a cost of around $300,000.

4.The City of Raleigh plans to put a roundabout at the intersection of Pullen Road and Hillsborough Street. The roundabout will replace traffic light at the intersection.

ishing.”Phillips said, on top of the

prospect of construction block-ing foot traffic to his restaurant, the economic crisis has already crippled his revenues and could lead to more issues if the renova-tions don’t begin soon.

“I don’t know if I can afford to make it through this process,” Phillips said. “I don’t know if we’ll survive long enough for the reconstruction to help us.”

Student Body President Jim Ceresnak hopes the realization of some of his campaign prom-ises will help keep Hillsborough Street businesses af loat in the short term, and to solidify the street’s relationship with the University. Ceresnak wants to combine All-Campus, Board Bucks and Wolf Copy cards into one, all-inclusive card for students to carry, and to have the card act as a discount card of sorts at Hillsborough Street businesses.

“When students come back from summer break hopefully they will not only have a con-solidated All-Campus card but they’ll also have incentives to go to Hillsborough Street busi-nesses,” Ceresnak said. “It’ll be a system where businesses can promote students and students have an incentive to patronize those businesses.”

Ceresnak doesn’t want his initiative to act only as a way to get businesses through hard economic times, though, as he aims to have it change the rela-tionship between students and area businesses.

“It’s a tangible thing that will benefit both students and busi-

nesses,” he said. “I hope it can be more than a bandage for ailing

businesses, though. I hope it can be a lasting program.”

Ceresnak did admit that work-ing with construction timetables was a difficult process, but said

his project is already in progress.“Working with construc-

tion and such will be a difficult process,” Ceresnak said. “But I’m talking this week with a point person from the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce who we

can work with those businesses through.”

Ceresnak said he sees enhanc-ing student opportunities as one of the duties of SG.

“One of the things we have the capacity to do is to extend ser-vices that students will enjoy,” Ceresnak said. “And make stu-dent’s lives easier, and that’s what I intend to focus on.”

Rogers sa id it ’s impor-tant for students to push the Hillsborough Street issue so the street can experience change in the new future.

“It’s a huge part of our student life and we need to give back to that community and show it plays a huge part of campus life

in order for the city council to recognize it is important,” Rog-ers said. “If students could rally for a new Hillsborough Street, the renovation could happen sooner.”

Beyond saying students had an opportunity to affect the prog-ress of the project, Rogers said she’ll continue to advocate for changes, despite not being able

to see the finished product as an undergraduate.

“It’s not something I’m going to directly benefit from,” Rogers said. “But it’s still something I’m going to fight for so future stu-dents can benefit from it.”

This affects the feel of the street.

Whereas Franklin Street has 50,000 people storming the street af-ter a national champion-ship win be-cause people of the town gather there, Hillsborough Street would have only stu-dents coming out after such a win, not the entire town. This af fects the atmosphere of the street.

Beyond the fact that ev-erything revolves around Franklin Street and not Hillsborough Street, there are other factors here. Frank-lin Street has a better layout and higher quality buildings with better options of shops and bars.

Hillsborough Street has a congested layout, and if anyone thinks the new con-

struction with “roundabouts” and medians are going to make things as good as Franklin Street, I personally beg to differ.

Traffic flow will improve and maybe a little friendlier with parking, but all in all it will still be a hassle to drive around Hillsborough Street for a night out.

T h e f o o t traffic will al-ways be better on Franklin Street as well due to the fact previously mentioned, that the street is the core of the town.

There are gaps in Hillsborough were people

just ignore because there is noth-ing there — Franklin Street is not like that. You also have the fraternity and sorority houses right on the street as opposed to Hillsborough Street, where they are located a few streets behind.

This adds to the college atmo-sphere, and makes for another reasons why Franklin Street is better then Hillsborough Street. As far as options for shops, bars and restaurants go, there is a

much more eclectic selection on Franklin Street.

This is not to say the selection on Hillsborough Street is ter-rible, it certainly is not — how-ever, Franklin appeals to a more varied people due to having more shops and bars. You will find art shops, comic book shops and new stores like Gamestop open-ing on the street.

Franklin Street is more appeal-ing to the families of the town as well, not just the students ver-sus Hillsborough Street, which is mostly student-based.

Lastly, I personally believe Franklin Street is the better street because of the tradition instilled in the street.

When I think of UNC-Chapel Hill, I think of Franklin Street, and when I think of NCSU, I think of the Brickyard and the Bell Tower.

Franklin Street is better, but for you UNC haters out there, it does not mean that NCSU is the worst of the two schools, just that NCSU’s tradition is found around things like the Bell Tower, instead of a street like in Chapel Hill.

know that Amore’s pizza has sweet artwork, couches and a bar? Or t h a t F i ve O’Clock bar has a disas-trous litt le drink called a ‘Bud Jug?’ O r e v e n that Sylvia’s pizza is run by a g uy named Syl-vio? These little discov-er ies have brought me, a n d u n -doubtedly many other students, back to the street time and again, and none of this would hap-pen without the hike.

It’s an opportunity for phi-lanthropy. Let’s be honest

here — the focus of the event is to hit the bars. But who says the whole thing has to be about alco-hol? This is N.C. State, the home of the Krispy Kreme Challenge. We believe in giving back and

having a good time while do-ing it. This past year alone we found a way to col lect thou-sands of pounds of canned food and hundreds of dollars for Ur-ban Ministries in conjunction with the Hal-loween Hike. What’s better than tossing a few back and f e e d i n g t h e

hungry all at the same time? While Spook Hunger only co-

incides with the Halloween Hike, we can still do our part to end hunger and homelessness. The Triangle Community Founda-

tion is a great cause that works to provide real help those in need. Visit trianglecf.org.

Let’s clean up our act. In all of our glorious debauchery, we do make a bit of a mess. Like any good partygoer, let’s do our part to clean up. Last year, Stu-dent Government sponsored a street cleanup, but admittedly the event didn’t happen until the following Friday. This year, make a commitment to be out on the street at noon the following day. We’ll provide the trash bags. Together, we’ll restore a bit of the street’s image.

If we want the hike to survive the test of time and Hillsborough Street to get better, we must take ownership of the event. Give to the Triangle Community Foun-dation. Commit to keeping the street clean. Bring friends to the hike. And come back to the street again and again. Hillsborough Street’s future is in our hands.

Hillsborough Street itself, is an example of this phenomena of growing inequality. As NC State becomes a wealthier and more developed institution, many of the dilapidated buildings on Hillsborough Street house busi-nesses which are struggling to remain financially solvent. The University teaches us values of equality, environmental stew-ardship and artistic creativity. We are encouraged to pursue economic development. Yet the wealth of knowledge we are ac-quiring is lost to the surrounding neighborhood as we build our ivory tower and forego establish-ing substantial dialogue with the local community.

The Hillsborough Street Re-naissance was the first of what will hopefully be many events that work to reshape these educa-tional and economic paradigms. Despite the cold and the rain, the

festival raised approximately four thousand dollars and more than 800 pairs of shoes for our benefiting charities. Most im-portantly, the festival brought the community together in sup-port of revitalizing this area and creating meaningful relation-ships between the University and its neighbors.

What started as a dream and progressed to a festival has now become a movement. Legacy Event Planners, the organiza-tion established to plan the Hillsborough Street Renais-sance, is comprised of students and educators working together to create a new model of educa-tion and university involvement in the community. We believe that the time for a curriculum centered around rote memoriza-tion from textbooks has passed. This model leaves students bored and does not provide them with the skills necessary to become effective leaders.

In place of this model, we are advocating a curriculum based on community service

and hands-on problem solving. Most of us came to this Univer-sity because we wanted to create a better future for ourselves and for our children. Yet somewhere along the way, many students begin treating college as a mere stepping stone to a higher salary. Through the continued planning and execution of events in this area that bring the community together for fun and deserving causes, LEP will prove that stu-dents do not have to wait until they graduate to impact positive change in the world.

LEP is a group of creative mathematicians. We see a world plagued by inequality and we be-lieve we have a model of how to fix the equation. This editorial is dedicated out to every student, educator and community mem-ber who has ever envisioned a better world.

year. While students are on summer break, the $10 million Hillsborough Street Construc-tion Project will begin to make the front door of the University look better. But even though the appearance of Hillsborough Street will improve, there are many problems that will cause this street to continue to be a dump.

Af ter many petitions, meet-ings with the city and school officials, inter-rogation by the police depart-ment concern-ing events and letters to Mayor Charles Meeker, it appears that no one has any interest in listening to the busi-nesses of Hillsborough Street.

As of today, almost 40 per-cent of the business space on Hillsborough Street is empty. In the past year, 10 businesses have either changed hands or closed on the 2500 block along,

and studies show 40 to 60 percent of businesses will fail during the construction project. Seventy-five percent of students don’t even know that there is a bowl-ing alley on Hillsborough Street because they don’t visit the area.

Based on these studies, 68 per-cent of all business space will be empty once the construction project is complete.

So when the street looks bet-ter, students will have very little reason to come to Hillsborough Street, which will make Frank-lin Street even more proud.

Even though there are many problems with this street, there are three major issues that stu-dents can make a difference.

T h e c i t y should create a 100-foot buf-fer around the University’s prop er t y to

keep beggars from approaching students for money. This will eliminate many robbery issues, graffiti issues, rape issues and verbal confrontations.

The University should have a more diverse meal plan. The cur-rent meal plan requires freshmen

students to eat on campus and then allows them to use their meal plan card, or Board Bucks, as a credit/debit card, so stu-dents can purchase other items on campus. Technician articles constantly show students are dissatisfied with this program. If N.C. State will discontinue forc-ing students to eat on campus, many more students will visit Hillsborough Street, creating more foot traffic.

There should be more parking acknowledgment. Even though parking will always be an issue, people don’t really understand where and when they can park in this area. Signs need to be posted along Hillsborough Street to show visitors where parking is free on campus after 5 p.m., as well as free metered parking after 5 p.m.

As I stated before, no one is lis-tening to the businesses. But it is a fact that students have a huge voice. Therefore, the businesses of Hillsborough Street suggest a Protest March (The March that will Make a Difference) prior to the Hillsborough Hike on April 24. You should be tired of others ruining your college experience. If done correctly, Hillsborough Street will make Franklin Street look like ‘the dump.’

Art is intimidating for most people. It’s difficult for some-one to discern exactly what they like in a piece of artwork. Nasher Museum of Art in Durham helps solve that problem by offering disparate exhibitions that appeal to a broad audience.

The Nasher Museum of Art is well known for its affiliation with Duke University, which helps it attract well-known art-ists and extensive collections. The Museum features three exhibitions, “A Room of Their Own: The Bloomsbury Artists in American Collections,” “Sa-cred Beauty: Medieval and Re-naissance Illuminated Manu-scripts,” and “Escultura Social: A New Generation of Art from Mexico City.”

Wendy Hower Livingston, manager of marketing and communications for Nasher Museum, said, “These three exhibitions offer something for everyone. There’s contemporary art in ‘Escultura,’ works from a group of intellectuals responding to Victorian England in ‘Blooms-bury,’ and showcasing works from the permanent collection in ‘Sacred Beauty.’”

The Bloomsbury collection featured many artists who were inf luenced by European Post-Impressionism. Many had also dabbled in textiles, so the col-lection features embroidery and sketches for textile patterns along with sketches and painting. The decorative arts featured mainly pastel colors suitable for home furnishings, and the portraits and landscapes were painted in darker tones to convey real-ism. Literature shares common ground with art, since it features some book designs for certain

works of Virginia Woolf, one of which being Mrs. Dalloway. The designs for stationary and matchbook labels indicate the beginnings of modern graphic design.

Sarah Schroth, Nancy Hanks Senior Curator at Nasher Mu-seum, oversees all curatorial ac-tivities of the museum. Schroth’s most recent exhibition was 2008’s “El Greco to Velasquez: Art During the Reign of Philip III.” Although she did not per-sonally curate the Bloomsbury collection, she was still involved.

The manuscripts in “Sacred Beauty‚“ were complemented by gold frames and cobalt blue walls. Most of the manuscripts were not attributed to one artist, but were instead credited to one or two countries in an estimate of the time of its making. Three pieces had lightboxes situated be-hind the manuscripts to show the effect of illumination, and some

had snippets of music or writing to show how the artwork would fit within the written word.

“Escultura Social” featured the widest range of artistic me-dia, ranging from textiles to ink to video. The viewer was wel-comed into the exhibition by a taped video recording in Span-ish and English. Works were ac-companied with placards stating the artist’s name and cultural heritage as well as the title of the piece, materials used, permanent collection and artist’s explana-tion.

Certain notable works stand out from each of the exhibitions. Bloomsbury featured Vanessa Bell’s oil painting “Portrait of Mary St. John Hutchinson.” The angularity of the facial features indicates an awareness of Modi-gliani’s style. Bell and Duncan Grant also have more abstract works featuring simple shapes divided by heavy lines. Since

abstraction had not yet come to the forefront of the art world at the time, these two were ahead of the curve.

“Sacred Beauty” had a work entitled “Harrowing of Hell,” from circa 1600, thought to be from Germany or the Nether-lands. At first glance, the work was primarily of a heart-shaped wreath of flowers that are paint-ed so realistically that they seem to extend beyond the frame.

According to the Nasher Muse-um Web site, “Escultura Social: A New Generation of Art from Mexico City” runs until June 7, and “Sacred Beauty: Medieval and Renaissance Illuminated Manuscripts” runs until May 10. “A Room of Their Own: The Bloomsbury Artists in American Collections” finished its run on April 5. Tickets for non-Duke students are $3.

Livingston said that Nasher has organized a show in Santa

Monica, California, entitled “Berkeley L. Hendricks: Birth of Cool,” which has made the cover of this month’s ArtForum magazine. The exhibition has also been reviewed by the New York Times and ARTnews.

Schroth said that she is orga-nizing a show for the summer.

“It will be treasures of pho-tography from the Duke library, from the 1870s until now. It’ll be sort of a selection of 100 greatest hits,” Schroth said.

Other exhibitions in the works include an August exhibit on Pi-

casso, which the Nasher Museum helped organize and can be cur-rently seen at Yale. There is also an exhibition scheduled for Au-gust 2010 entitled “The Record.”

Livingston said, “There’s al-ways something new and some-thing for everyone. We have a very ambitious schedule for a museum of this size.”

The Nasher Museum of Art is located at 2001 Campus Drive in Durham on Duke University’s campus.

Nasher has something for everyone

What is one day in the life of a rapper? Mainstream ideas of the life of a rapper show it composed of parties, high-price cars and ques-tionable activities. Napo-leon Wright’s documentary, One Day seeks to refute that stereotype. The film follows each member of Kooley High, a local group made up of N.C. State alumni.

One Day will be showing at Witherspoon Cinema on Monday, April 20, starting at 7:30 with DJ sets from DJ J. Wall, DJ Nominal and Kooley High’s own DJ Ill Digitz. The event is a collaboration be-tween WKNC and the UAB. It is free to all students.

“Napoleon filmed the EP release show in March of 2008. After that, he decided that he could turn it into something bigger. He filmed all of our interviews sepa-rately a couple months later and had the whole thing done shortly after that. It was ac-tually a fairly quick process,” Kooley High’s Tab One said. “The show was something we wanted to put together to cel-

ebrate Kooley’s first release, ‘The Summer Sessions EP.’ All the art-ists involved make great hip hop, so it was an honor to have them be a part of our big night.”

Napoleon wanted to show the lives of working-class musicians. He followed the three rappers and two producers throughout the day. “I wanted to make a film that was as honest as them as people and their music. It’s a side of hip hop that you don’t re-ally see these days, where people open up to you for who they re-ally are,” Napoleon said.

One Day deals with persever-

ance, identity and realizing your goals while remaining humble. The film is also Na-poleon’s debut and the biggest project from his Becauseus.org collective.

Becauseus.org was founded by Napoleon. The Web site serves as an outlet for his projects and works.

“It stemmed from me do-ing work for non-profits on the side and I began to realize not only did it make me feel good as an individual to help organizations out with design, but I was also able to be really creative. They need the help and trust me as a designer,” Napoleon said.

Meanwhile, Kooley High has remained busy. They re-leased their “Kooley is High” mix earlier this year. More al-bums are on the way, includ-ing an unnamed prelude to their debut album, The High Life.

“We just want to put one more project out there to help build the Kooley High name before we drop the album,” Tab One said. “We’re getting more recognition, but we still have a long way to go if we want to do music for a living.

“Let’s take it back to the music! Let’s have fun again and stop worrying about how much money a rapper has and focus more on their skills as a musician and artist. The film was pretty raw as far as how we were introduced to the world. We wanted viewers to see us as people first. There’s no need to hide behind some ridiculous image. Be yourself, that’s what hip hop is to me,” Tab One said. Kooley High will open for Wale at the Cat’s Cradle April 16.

The Fray’s self-titled sopho-more album relies heavily on what made this band such a success in the first place: haunt-ing piano melodies, catchy gui-tar solos and frontman Isaac Slade’s unusual vocals. Many of the songs on The Fray fit the mold that this piano rock band created with 2005 How to Save a Life. It comes as no surprise that the best songs on this album are piano ballads that crescendo into powerful rock anthems, complete with Slade’s impressive lungs and toe-tapping rhythms.

But where How to Save a Life was the kind of album that stayed in the Most Played playl-ist on my I-Pod for weeks, this new release from The Fray falls a little short. The songs border on sounding like carbon copies of one another, to the point where it’s even hard to distinguish be-tween where one song ends and another begins.

Ultimately, The Fray sticks to what’s worked for them, and the new album doesn’t of-fer anything especially new for the band, which is both a de-light and a disappointment in a sophomore album. Many of the songs on this album are almost too reminiscent of their previ-ous album.

There are, however, several songs on this album that shine and stand out as something spe-cial from the pack of “Over My Head (Cable Car)” wanna-bes.

The powerful and moving bal-lad, “Ungodly Hour”, is honest and genuine, and the simple melody of the song acts as a per-fect accompaniment to Slade’s heartbroken voice. “Happiness” is another piano ballad that begins as something soft and gentle, and then unexpectedly transitions into a harder, faster melody, backed by a choir, and it really works. “Never Say Never” follows a similar pattern, starting as a sweet love song and then it crescendos into a powerful cho-rus, with Isaac Slade beautifully begging, “Don’t let me go, don’t let me go.”

The faster-paced songs on the album are mediocre. The album opens with “Syndicate”, which is catchy enough for pop radio, but ultimately the song fails to move me in any real way. “You Found Me” plays with ideas of love lost, loneliness and religion, but lacks depth.

The Fray’s distinctive, haunt-ing sound hasn’t changed, and many of the ballads on this al-bum are show-stoppers. Unfor-tunately, The Fray doesn’t offer anything especially new on this album, and fails to fully inspire their audience.

COMMENTARY

Sports

“I think it’s unfortunate be-cause she’s been with the pro-gram for so long and I think she deserves to be the coach,” Cross said. “It’s what Kay Yow would have wanted to do.”

While Glance has coached the Pack, the team has compiled a 272-161 record and made NCAA appearances in 11 of her 15 years.

Daniel Farrell, a sophomore in biomedical engineering, called Glance “the good, obvious choice,” and said he was disap-pointed she wasn’t hired.

“With all the experience she

had under coach Yow, one of the most successful women’s basketball coaches in history, she learned from the best,” Farrell said. “She knows the players and the program well.”

Fowler indicated that the decision regarding the head coaching position would not be announced until mid-April.

viously this is a case where it doesn’t mean anything. He is a three-time state champion from Colorado, and he beat some world beaters out there at the na-tional tournament,” Jordan said. “We watched him on film, so we knew he could wrestle. Certainly he is very talented and very dan-gerous.”

Shull said he knows he has room for improvement.

“I am pretty good right now, but I know that I have a lot to work on,” Shull said. “It is kind

of cool because I know what I need to work on and I will get that much better. Being on a re-ally good team, that’s something I have never been a part of and I am just looking forward to the opportunity.”

At State, Shull will join fellow high school All-American An-drew Tumlin of Harrison (Ohio) High School in the wrestling team’s already impressive in-coming class for the 2009-2010 season. Tumlin was ranked No. 6 in the nation at the 189-pound weight class by WrestlingUSA’s Web site and wrestled freestyle in Beijing, China, during the World Junior Games in 2007.

Jordan said these are just two examples of the standout recruits that will wrestle alongside pe-rennial national powerhouses. Junior 149 pounder Darrion Caldwell’s national champi-onship victory March 21 has spurred some of this interest.

“It certainly didn’t hurt, and it has changed things. I am turning kids away right now, and this is the first time in the 12 years that I have been here that we are able to do that,” Jordan said.

And while it may seem as though an outstanding recruit-ing class for next season is al-ready complete, Jordan seems confident Shull will not be 2009’s

last top-notch recruit. Another national championship winner at Senior Nationals, heavyweight Eloheim Palma of Cary, and 145-pounder Kendrick Sand-ers of Florida are two of several highly touted recruits that re-portedly have State near the top of their lists.

“We are not done. We are af-ter three or four more national champions right now,” Jordan said. “We feel very fortunate because we have a group of kids coming in and we are going to be able to pick who we want.”

court and is very familiar to his teammates, according to his doubles partner, Julian Sullivan.

“He just knows everything,” Sullian said. “He works around what I can do and helps me in doubles.”

As Welte has matured over the years, he has stepped up to be-come a prominent leader of the team, according to Choboy.

“His leadership role is more significant than anyone else on the team,” Choboy said. “He is a

bridge between the young guys and the upper classmen. Because of his experiences, there’s no bet-ter person to mentor these kids. When he talks about academ-ics to the young guys he’s got a good platform to talk on because he’s been though some ups and downs.”

According to junior Frideric Prandecki, Welte has been an inspiration.

“If there’s a problem, Christian will try to fix it,” Prandecki, a fel-low history major, said. “He truly cares about everyone. He has al-ways had my back. He’s leaving me big shoes to fill.”

Welte has not only guided the team off the court, but has led to Pack to victories on the court as well. He is currently nationally ranked No. 118 after starting to season ranked No. 124. Welte ended the regular season with 89 career singles wins, which is the second most in school histo-ry. Many of those victories were against ranked players.

“On court I’ve always been im-pressed, that’s why I brought him here,” Choboy said. “Typically, if you’re 6’4, you’re not that quick, but Welte’s pretty quick for his size. He’s also strong, which allows him to generate a lot of

power.”Looking toward the future,

Welte plans to try his hand in the pro circuit once he graduates in December.

“I want to continue to play ten-nis because I don’t want to be sit-ting here when I’m 25 saying, ‘I should have done this,’” Welte said. “Yet, if you asked me two years ago I don’t know if I would have had any goals. But now I want to use the fall to get my body in the best shape I can so that I can physically go out there and do a full year of pro-tennis. Then maybe go to law school.”

Christian Welte, a senior on the men’s tennis team has been though many ups and downs during his college career

Jen HankinSenior Staff Writer

Walking onto the ten-nis court in 2005, Christian Welte was a naive 18-year old from Philadelphia who only lived in the moment.

Now a senior and leader on the men’s tennis team, Welte has gone thought the most prolific change coach Jon Choboy has seen during his career.

“Christian Welte has been the one player in my whole career that has gone from one end of the spectrum to the other end in a positive sense,” Choboy said. “Game-wise and personality-wise. Just watching the maturation of a person and realizing how far he’s come.”

The transition into a college athlete proved to be very dif-ficult for Welte, not only on the court but in the classroom as well.

“I just did enough work to get by first semester. I had like a 2.5,” Welte said. “As classes started to get harder, my GPA dropped because it wasn’t a focus for me and that kind of affected my tennis. I just had a tough time trying to do both.”

During Welte’s first three se-mesters at N.C. State, his GPA plunged to about a 2.0 and caused tension between himself and Choboy.

“When Coach and I were hav-ing our troubles, he said to me that there’s more to life than just tennis,” Welte said. “That’s when I picked my major, history. I just tried to focus on something

other than tennis, and it actually helped me to focus on the court.”

Switching majors was a turn-ing point in Welte’s life.

He said he credits most of this shift in perspective to Choboy’s guidance and support.

Welte’s compassion is some-thing that transcends on the

COUNTDOWN

Fans give opinions on refusal to hire longtime women’s assistant head basketball coach

Kate ShefteDeputy Sports Editor

Word leaked out Friday that Lee Fowler decided not to hire women’s basketball interim head coach Stephanie Glance as head coach next year.

With the Athletics Depart-ment and everyone surround-ing it remaining tight-lipped about the matter, students have been left to formulate their own opinions without an official explanation pro-vided by those involved.

The Athletics Department’s reluctance to bring Glance onboard as head coach sym-bolizes a changing of the guard of sorts for a program that has become well-known for the past 30 years.

Peter McAnulty, a junior in chemical engineering, said he understood the Athletics Department’s decision not

to bring Glance aboard as a full-time coach.

“I support the Athletic De-partment in that decision,”

McAnulty said. “Kay Yow led the program throughout almost its entire existence, and in order for a program to reach national

spotlight, it needs a different per-spective on things. I think they could reach the Sweet 16 or even be national champions, but they

need new leadership.”Glance served as Yow’s right-

hand woman for over a decade and oversaw much of the team’s recruiting.

She landed two top-five ranked players during her tenure with N.C. State and took over head coaching duties during the worst stretches of Yow’s illness.

Allison Cross, a sophomore in fashion and textile management, cited sentimental reasons for why Glance should succeed Yow.

Wrestling signs its second high school All-American for the class of 2009

Tyler EverettStaff Writer

Immediately after defeat-ing Jeremy Goree in the 130 pound finals of the Senior National Championships in Virginia Beach, Va., Dale Shull’s phone was ringing off the hook with calls from coaches of nationally promi-nent wrestling programs across the United States.

Shull said it was the hon-esty and persistence with which Coach Carter Jordan recruited him wel l before his national champion-ship victory that made the multitude of phone ca l ls from sudden-ly interested coaches easy to disregard.

“All the other coaches I talked to, they would talk to me, but then they would stop and leave me hanging,” Shull said. “But Jordan was always persistent and he always did what he said he was going to do.”

Wrestling coach Carter Jor-dan said because N.C. State had been recruiting him well before Shull’s national cham-

pionship victory, the multitude of coaches suddenly interested in Shull were wasting their time trying to recruit him, as he had already decided to sign with State.

“Believe it or not, there weren’t a lot of schools recruiting him.” Jordan said. [After his junior year,] he sent his DVD out along with a letter to all the top 25 programs from last year and we were the only Division I pro-gram that responded. Then bing bang boom -- he goes out [and wins] nationals and every coach in the country wants him now. I think he got 17 calls [from col-lege wrestling coaches] the day

he got back, but the deal was al-ready done. He committed to us when he got back to Colorado the next day.”

Because he was from Colorado, a state not well known for high school wrestling, Shull was some-what lightly re-

cruited prior to his head-turning national championship victory in Virginia Beach. But Jordan said he and his coaching staff knew from Shull’s tape that other coaches were overlooking a tre-mendous talent.

“He wasn’t a top-10 guy in the rankings, which doesn’t mean anything a lot of the time. Ob-
