U2’s choice of Carter-Finley for 360° Tour will boost local economy, give back to fans

Peggy BooneSenior Photographer

It has been more than 10 years since Cart-er-Finley Stadium has catered to thousands of screaming fans on the field rather than restricted to the stands, but U2’s 360° Tour will bring Carter-Finley back into show business on Oct. 3.

Raleigh is on the list of 16 North Ameri-can cities that Bono and his crew will visit this fall.

Jimmy Buffet was the last to perform on Wolfpack’s home football turf back in 1998, but according to Ray Brincefield, assistant athletic director for outdoor facilities, the dry spell has not been due to lack of re-quests.

We get calls from promoters about con-certs all the time,” Brincefield said. “In the 90s we did a lot of stadium shows, but since then, whenever something comes up we are always either under construction or in the middle of football season.”

The Athletics Department is willing to work with promotion companies such as Live Nation, but sporting events remains the department’s chief concern, Brincefield said.

“We don’t usually like doing events like this in football season,” Brincefield said. “In our mission statement our number one priority is N.C. State Athletics and the

students.It seems the stars just happened to align

for this event to take place, though, accord-ing to Dick Christy, associate athletic di-rector of external affairs. Christy said the circumstances worked out for the best.

“This is a stadium tour and Carter-Finley was a great location, good size, in a great city, and our football team was away during the window they wanted to have the show,” Christy said. “The last concert we hosted in Carter-Finley was prior to any renovations, so this show will be a great opportunity to showcase the venue that Carter-Finley has become.”

The University and Raleigh will see an in-crease in revenue and notoriety from host-ing the concert, which is the main reason behind the Athletic Department’s decision to allow the Pack’s football stadium to host the event in the middle of the season.

“We wanted to take this opportunity to be able to boost the local economy,” Brincefield said. “The week of the show will give extra

work to thousands of people and boost sales at restaurants and bars around the city.”

He also said the concert will act as a pay-back to all the fans who have invested in the stadium.

“It says a lot for our Wolfpackers out there who have put so much money into this stadium to get it improved and updated,”

Harper, a graduate of the University of Tennessee and the women’s basket-ball coach at Western Carolina Uni-versity for the last five years, replaces the late Kay Yow, who died of breast

cancer Jan. 24. Yow, who served as the head coach

from 1975 until her death in January, amassed 729 wins during her coach-ing career and led the Wolfpack to five

ACC regular season championships. She also coached the United States to a gold medal in the 1988 Olympics.

Harper comes to Raleigh with a suc-cessful resume of her own from her

time at WCU. Harper’s teams com-piled 97 wins in her five seasons and won the Southern Conference twice.

The Wolfpack’s new head coach played college basketball for Ten-nessee under head coach Pat Sum-mitt. She was a member of three national championship teams at UT and earned honorable mention All-America honors in 1999.

Athletics Director Lee Fowler,

Chancellor James Oblinger and the Board of Trustees chose Harper to take the job after conducting a job search which lasted more than month. Throughout the search rumors sug-gested interim head coach Stephanie Glance, who served on Yow’s staff for 15 years and took over following Yow’s death, would get the position.

If there is one word that describes the women’s basketball history at the Univer-sity, it’s consistency. The program, which started in 1974, has had only two head coaches during its first 35 years. Thursday afternoon, the program got its third

— Kellie Harper.

Picart will serve as interim dean, Moore plans to return to teaching

Preston BoylesDeputy News Editor

The dean of the College of Education, Kathryn Moore, will step down from her position, ef-fective May 15.

Moore, w h o h a s s e r ve d a s dean of the college for nine years, will return to teaching and research in the de-partment of adult and higher education in August.

Moore was unavailable for comment.

Jose Picart, vice provost for di-versity and inclusion, will serve as interim dean until the posi-tion is filled. Picart has been a part of the college as a professor for five years.

“I’m really excited and I’m a little nervous,” he said. “As you might imagine, just stepping into a new role always presents a bit of trepidation.”

Picart said the decision came as a surprise, but also said he is privileged to serve as interim dean.

“It’s a great college and they are doing some great things,” he said. “I look forward to the opportunity of working with faculty, students and staff to continue to move them forward while they look for a new dean.”

Picart said the college has a wonderful vision for its future and he plans to pick up where Moore left off.

“We want to keep strength-ening programs, conduct great research, teach students well and send out some great teachers that will go and serve the state,” he said. “I am so proud of what teachers do and what they are about.”

Tracy Cottrell, a sophomore in math education, said because of the contributions Moore made

to the college, it may be hard for Picart to fill her shoes.

“Everyone may doubt if he can measure up to her so he will have to prove us wrong,” Cot-trell said. “She was a really great person for what she did. She will be missed.”

During her tenure, the Univer-sity created the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation on Centennial Campus, which is a center advocating to improve teaching and learning, and be-gan a new undergraduate degree in elementary education.

Kathryn Doyle, a senior in elementary education, said her major is a great program.

“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot from it,” she said. “With Moore being the one that created it, it’s definitely sad to see her go.”

Picart said Moore will help him transition into the position.

“I’m looking forward to work-ing with her and for her to advise and guide me,” he said. “I’m go-ing to take time to talk to all of leadership so I can think about long and short term goals.”

Most importantly, Picart said he is honored the University has confidence in him.

“To think I have an oppor-tunity to produce teachers and leaders for our school, that’s humbling,” he said. “Teachers are heroes.”

CORRECTIONS & CLARIFICATIONS

In the page-one story “Team searches for ‘new’ Vista,” Science & Tech Editor Alison Harman incorrectly wrote that a new course management system will run in parallel with Blackboard Vista for three months. It will actually run in parallel for three semesters.

In the page-five story “Startup news sites push local beats,” the story incorrectly attributed where C. Duncan Pardo, Raleigh Public Record founder, paid for his startup news organization. It should have stated that he paid for it out of pocket.

In the page-eight Wolf Fact “Harper announced women’s basketball coach,” the headline was misleading and the source was inaccurate. The N.C. State Athletics Department had not yet announced Harper as coach at the time of publication.

In the page-two feature photo, the caption incorrectly attributed where the photo was taken. It was on the first floor of Broughton Hall.

A 9-year-old boy from New York City, Domori Miles, made a plastic parachute and flew off a 13-story Brooklyn apartment building Tues-day. He died on impact.

The plastic bag and rope were found on the ground near his body. Shaka Murrel, a 10-year-old friend of Miles, said Miles was a fan of the video game “WWE SmackDown vs. Raw” and could have been imitating wrestler Jeff Hardy’s dives.

World Wrestling Entertainment said no “SmackDown vs. Raw” characters jump off buildings or use parachutes.

Nurse called out of surgery for lay o!

A manager called a nurse out of surgery at Dean’s West Clinic in Wis-consin to inform her she was being laid off.

Although the surgery was minor and the patient was unaffected, the manager violated medical protocol. The absence of a nurse is a direct vio-lation of patient care procedures.

The health care clinic announced mid-week its plans to immediately lay off 90 employees. Paul Pitas, a spokes-man from the clinic, declined to give names of the employees or the type of surgery that was taking place

when the nurse was called.

Drug suspect arrested in Colombia

Colombia’s most-wanted drug suspect, Daniel Rendon Herrera, was arrested Wednesday according to an announcement by Alvaro Uribe, Co-lombia’s president. Thirty members of his gang were also arrested, the El Tiempo newspaper reported.

Colombian government offered $2.1 million for information leading to his arrest. Uribe called Rendon “one of the most feared narcotraffickers and criminals in the world.”

Defense Minister Juan Manual San-tos said authorities had been focusing on Rendon’s capture for nine months.

Rendon’s brother, Freddy Rendon Herrera, is in prison for his drug op-eration.

Reduction Act intends to cut rates of student loansInvesting in education a better return of American money, students say

Anastasia AstrasheuskaStaff Writer

The College Cost Reduc-tion and Access Act, which former President George W. Bush signed in 2007, will take effect July 1, reducing the in-terest rates of student loans by .68 percent and increas-ing the Pell Grant maximum by $1,000, according to the National Association of Stu-dent Financial Aid Adminis-trators.

The act intends to cut inter-est rates of student loans in half by 2012.

Despite the University’s plans to cut its budget by 5 percent, the act ensures stu-dents’ protection in financing their education.

Julie Rice-Mallette, director of the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid said there will actually be an increase in federal financial aid funds available for 2009-10.

“While other areas of the economy are being negative-ly impacted, the University is anticipating increases in state and institutional sup-port,” she said. “It hopes the increase will be sufficient to meet the rising demands for financial aid.”

Rice-Mallette said she is un-sure if the funds available will be sufficient to meet demand.

Ashley Hudson, a sopho-more in First Year College who received a Federal Staf-ford loan, said the govern-ment should continue run-ning the act.

“If the government spent the money elsewhere, it would not bring a major change right now,” she said. “But in education it helps individual families a lot.”

Sarah Johnson, a freshman in psychology, said the act

could be improved by creating the availability of funds to an even broader spectrum of stu-dents.

“With today’s economy, high-er education is becoming even more unrealistic than before,” Johnson said. “Anything the government can do to help sup-port students should be done now. People going to school and getting specialized careers will serve the country’s economy in the long-run.”

Alison McCoy, a statistics ad-ministrative support associate, said she agrees that funding edu-cation is the best way the govern-ment can spend its money right now.

“Investing in education is a better return of American mon-ey,” she said.

McCoy compared The College Cost Reduction Act to the G.I. Bill, which provided college edu-cation for returning World War II veterans.

“The money spent then was returned multiplied,” she said.

However, McCoy disagreed with The College Cost Reduction Act’s forgiveness of loans 20 years upon graduating, if economic hardship is proved.

“Those receiving loans need to understand that loan money is borrowed, hence, it needs to be paid back and go to the next person,” McCoy said.

PASSING THE TORCH

DREIER CARR/TECHNICIANCol. Richard Pierce presents Col. David Sammons with a commander’s coin on behalf of Col. John McCain during the Change of Command Ceremony for the Air Force ROTC Detachment 595 in Witherspoon Student Center Wednesday. Sammons passed over the command of the detachment to Lt. Col. Chris Froeschner.

Brincefield said. “It’s a credit to fans for a band like U2 to want to use their stadium.”

N.C. State students and Wolfpack Club members were given first dibs on tickets through a pre-sale period that spanned from April 14 to April 16 on-line through Ticketmaster and Live Nation. Season ticket holders will also have the right to purchase their regular seats first before the spots are opened up to the general public.

Students like Tyler Smither, a senior in middle grades and language arts with a social studies con-centration, are ecstatic about the opportunity to see the storied band play in Raleigh, whether they are veteran fans of U2 or experiencing a live show for the first time.

Smither was able to see them play in Charlotte, NC during the Vertigo Tour in 2005.

“I paid $300 for my ticket, and it was worth every penny,” Smither said.

He is also paying $95 to travel to see the band in Charlottesville, Va. before they come to Raleigh for the 360° Tour, and may also purchase a ticket for the Raleigh show.

“The 360° design is perfect for a U2 show,” he said. “They are so incredible live, and the energy is something that you have to experience to under-stand. By having the band surrounded by fans, it will make the guys on stage react to the audience even more so than with a regular stage set-up.”

Melissa McGough, a freshman in psychology and long-time fan of U2, plans to attend the concert and said she inherited her love for the band from

her parents. “I have been a fan of U2 pretty much since I could

walk,” McGough said. “I have never seen them live but my parents have and they said it was one of the best concerts they have ever attended, and they have been to a lot of concerts. I have not bought tickets yet but I’m willing to spend as much as I need to.”

Evaluate worthiness of animalsDuring the course of an average

day, I find myself asking the same age-old question — whose perti-nence has yet to fade over the several millennia of human existence. “What have animals done for me lately?” The nature of this question is borderline rhetorical, as it is merely a segue to a longer and much deeper chain of thought.

Coming to a sound conclusion on the nature of animals (in groups, or one animal in specific) involves a series of inquiries to be answered sequentially:

Can I use this animal for my per-sonal transportation?

Can I ride it? If yes, it’s a cool animal. Rock on animal.

Can this animal sit in my lap or sit nearby while I am relaxing and be petted with relative ease? If yes, it’s a cool animal.

Can I eat this animal/does this animal or its unfertilized embryos taste good when prepared right and served alongside a vegetable med-ley? If yes, it’s a cool animal.

Can I or someone else engage in physical combat with this animal/will it be entertaining to others if I do so? If yes, then it is definitely a cool animal.

Is this animal’s biological constitu-tion similar to that of man?

Follow up question: Can this animal be used in discerning the nature of previously unexplored areas, like out-er space, the south pole, or the deep sea? If yes, then this animal is both cool AND scientifically relevant.

If during the consideration of an an-imal or group of animals, you answer “no” to all of these questions, then you are back at square one.

Upset with Fowler, give Glance a chance

I am upset to have read Monday’s paper that Lee Fowler is overlook-ing Stephanie Glance as the future head coach of our women’s basket-ball team. It’s outrageous to think a woman with 15 years of experience under a coach as great and valuable to our institution as Kay Yow will not get the job.

Those two women have given so much of themselves to our school,

especially Coach Yow who’s family was the team and its coaches, and now Lee Fowler is turning his back on a woman who has given 15 years of dedication and hard work to help Kay Yow develop a talented and well respected women’s program.

Who better to continue a program of respect, tradition and talent that our school hungers for in other pro-grams, than Glance?

You mean you are really willing to bring in someone new who will change everything about our pro-gram — someone who does not know what NCSU women’s basketball is all about and let her try to start over, after Yow dedicated nothing short of her whole life to the program and making sure Glance would be able to continue such work?

You want all of our athletic pro-grams to be as prestigious as others around the country, but you are unwilling to let them do so by devel-oping themselves with coaches who are dedicated to the school, the fans and more importantly the players they coach.

It only makes sense that the pro-gram would be best suited to move forward with someone who can directly continue the inspiration and legacy that Yow left behind. Unless of course, you didn’t appreciate what Glance helped Coach Yow dedicate her life to doing. I want the program to continue to move forward, but, Mr. Fowler, you seem to only want to take it backward.

Mascots needs to look more menacing

In response to “Mascots need makeover,” by Mansoor Omar Wednesday’s paper, I’d like to say that I applaud Omar for addressing this issue.

I thought I was the only person who thought our mascot looked so ridiculously cartoonish and soft. I don’t mind the incorrect proportions, because all mascots are like that, but at least make Mr. Wuf look more menacing!

And, no offense to all those who adore her, but Mrs. Wuf just needs to go. It’s bad enough to have Mr. Wuf look like he’s going to give you cotton candy and a balloon, we don’t need a mascot in a dress and panty hose! Ev-ery other school in the Atlantic Coast Conference has made its mascot look intimidating, why can’t ours look as fierce as a wild wolf is supposed to be? Even if we don’t win every foot-ball or basketball game, can we at least have a mascot that looks like he put up a fight instead of retreat into the fetal position?

The College Cost Reduc-tion Act, signed by for-mer President George W.

Bush in 2007, benefits students and does exactly what the title says.

The act, which will last through the 2012-2013 year, will cut the student loan rate to 5.44 percent July 1, down from 6.8 percent in 2006.

The overall goal is to decrease the interest rate of student loans to 3.4 percent, which will take place July 12, 2013, according to the National Association of Stu-dent Financial Aid and Admin-istrators.

This is beneficial because it will make college more afford-able to students who need loans

to enroll in institutions of high-er learning.

Other benefits include that more people will be eligible for financial aid.

This will come at no cost to taxpayers by cutting from lend-ers, such as reducing lender in-surance. It will also increase the Pell Grant maximum by $1,000 for 2009-10.

According to finaid.org, 65.6 percent of students at a four-year public University have taken out student loans to pay for college and have an average cumulative debt of more than $17,000 by the time they gradu-

ate.Students need as much help as

they can get, and legislation like this helps needy college students earn degrees, and gives them the extra boost they need to pursue higher education. This can also help make college more afford-able for people who wish to stay in school until the job market heals.

The University not only cut classes but tuition and fees con-tinue to rise, so it is good to see the government doing some-thing to help students without raising taxes or creating more federal debt.

But the government must be careful and make sure it bal-ances the budget. It must make sure to meet both ends decrease federal spending and decrease student loan rates.

This type of legislation shows the government is concerned about students, and it should al-ways make efforts to make col-lege more affordable. It is good to see the leaders taking a stand for college students and think-ing proactively.

The government should con-tinue to keep students in mind because they need as much fi-nancial help as possible.

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:College is becoming more expensive every year.

OUR OPINION:The College Cost Reduction Act helps make the cost of higher education more affordable.

THE SOLUTION:The federal government should support and renew legislation that mirrors the College Cost Reduction Act.

Make more legislation that helps students!OUR VIEW"

Course evaluations are going on right now and many of us are

stumped for what to write. We need to tell every profes-sor in the course evaluation to

get a Web site if they don’t have one. If they d o h a v e one, those Web sites should be upgraded, and kept

informed for better programs out there. By programs I mean learning tools and as-signments.

To know the reading sched-ule for that overly simple class with one professor, one es-say, and one set of readings, some of us have to go digging through piles of e-mails to find a syllabus instead of get-ting the file straight from Vis-ta or Webassign. This means putting up the syllabus online will make things easier. Class discussions, the good type of class interactions, can many times just as easily be taken to a discussion board without any harm to the single text or single assignment the profes-sor wants to teach. Only good can come out of continuing discussion outside of class. Likewise, people should tell

their teachers that participation on the discussion boards can be graded, too.

If we checked our classes and relevant material as much as we checked our Facebook and Myspace accounts, our grades would be better, guaranteed. For example, the library’s Web site offers widgets for cell phones and Facebook. Instead of research-ing or stalking your latest crush, you can research and stalk at the same time. Tell your professors to point out the appropriate wid-gets or make a widget-program for the classes you are taking. (If they aren’t savvy they should ask the engineering school).

We should build better digital learning selves online and here I mean on Vista, on course Web sites, on Webassign, on Maple and so on. Our digital identity is much larger than Myspace would have us believe. For ex-ample, why can’t professors start a Ning group Web site or have students as a group Twitter about the assignments?

Many of the old sites that professors use need to be re-furbished. Did you know ev-ery course has an automati-cally generated research-Web site from our Library-Sciences department? Neither did your professors. You just go onto the school library page, click on li-brary tools, and select the course. The Library sciences people have

already listed your course reserves, helpful databases, some digital research tools on the computer and some concrete (like calculators and GPS systems) hardware that they think you might need. They even have live chat with people who have masters in library science. Remember that 1873 leather bound text-book that’s only available in UNC-Greensboro that your professor was talking about? You and your professor can find it through D.H. Hill, and generally speaking, neither of you know this.

And I don’t even have to mention how unappealing and not user-friendly My-Pack Portal is. MyPack Portal is truly too hard to use and obviously professors have no contact with it whatsoever. But this is poor judgment because the whole point of the school is the professors. Professors who do not un-derstand technology or do not post syllabi and relevant content on their pages should be urged to take a class on technology from our Engi-neering school. They need to be respectfully told this through course evaluations.

Textiles’ seniors showcase talent DESIGNERS SHOW OFF COLLECTIONS FOR PRIZES AND RECOGNITION

College of Textiles presents their seniors in a fashion show on Centennial Campus

Sarah Ewald Staff Writer

The third annual fashion show for se-nior fashion development students, held Thursday in the College of Textiles court-yard at 8 p.m., showcased the semester-long work of 21 designers, taught by as-sociate professor of fashion and textile management Cynthia Istook.

During the course of the semester, Is-took worked individually with the stu-dents in creating their collections.

“We negotiated what they had to do, and there were criticisms where advice of what to change or fix was given,” Istook said.

Istook said despite her involvement, the garments seen were all the students’ designs.

A wide range of preparations was needed to ensure the night would be a success. For the designers, tasks ranged from finding people to do hair and make-up to booking models with a fierce strut. The Student and Career Services office sold tickets and students volunteered to sell tickets on the night of the show. A facilities crew worked with some students to construct the run-way over the reflecting pool.

The College of Textiles set up the cat-walk in the courtyard of the college. Lu-minaries lined the sidewalk and a plat-form jutted out into the middle of the reflecting pond. Strings of white lights were draped around the sides, and assis-tants were seen placing votive candles in the water to be lit later in the night. As the lights went down, strings of lights around the catwalk and lights positioned on the side of the pond facing the runway were switched on.

Designs ranged from one end of the spectrum to another.

Emily Robbins, a senior in fashion and textile management, showed a collection of night wear — her models sporting ba-by-doll bows in their hair, some of which were dressed up in 1960s bouffants and flips. Her collection featured baby-doll dresses with empire waists, loose v-neck tops, and pajama pants in hues of white, pink and green.

Kelley Loeffler, a senior in textile and apparel management, created her own flo-ral designs using the College of Textiles digital design lab. Her silhouettes were inspired by the 1950s, and her collection featured many bell skirts that held their shape. Her designs also paid tribute to modernity in ways such as a dress hav-ing contrasting colors inserted in its sides. Loeffler’s models made their appearances on the runway while balancing plates of cupcakes on their palms.

Mor Aframian, a senior in textile and apparel management, was the only de-signer to design a full line of menswear. Her collection, entitled “License to Kill”, embodied clothes for a cool and confi-dent man. Many shirts were button-down, with a contrasting blue or tan panel over the back yoke of the shirt.

“I wanted to do something different that was challenging, and I wanted to focus on how to put garments together correctly,” Aframian said.

After each designer had shown their col-lection, Istook thanked certain designers who had helped put together the show. Each designer was also brought back on-stage with a model while the audience voted for their favorite for the people’s choice award. The categories for prizes were casual, day wear, cocktail and eve-ning wear, and each category had a $200 runner-up and $500 first prize.

For casual wear, Cherihan Lusk, fashion and textile management, was the runner-up and Kim Ray, a senior in textile and ap-parel management, won first place. Katie McCree, textile and apparel management, was the runner-up in day wear and Mor Aframian took first place. For cocktail attire, Laurel Saunders, senior in textile and apparel management, was the runner-up, while Caroline Cockerham, senior in textile and apparel management, won first place. In evening wear, Amy Mathys, se-nior in textile and apparel management, was the runner-up, and Katrina Kaplanis, senior in textile and apparel management, took first place.

“Winning was a really good surprise, since I’ve never won anything,” Afram-ian said.

Kaplanis also won best in show from the panel of judges, and earned an $800 prize. For peoples’ choice, Caroline Cockerham scored another win, adding another $500 prize to her previous prize.

Cockerham’s collection showed many oversized details, such as a rosette that covered the bodice of one dress and an oversized angled bow on another dress.

Kaplanis’ designs revolved around flow-ers and used the motif of white rosettes throughout her collection. She began her collection by creating all the white rosettes by hand, as well as painted roses and scanned them into a computer pro-gram to create her printed fabric.

“I worked until today. I was still stitch-ing rosettes on a dress earlier,” Kaplanis said.

Kaplanis said that she was excited and happy about her work being recognized.

“I didn’t expect to be in evening wear, and also to win best in show. But even if I hadn’t won, it still would have been fun,” Kaplanis said.

LUIS ZAPATA/TECHNICIANModels for Emily Robbins, senior in fashion and textile management, show of her line of “Little Spoon Nightware.” Seniors in the College of Textiles put on a fashion, Threads, on Cennitenial Campus Thursday. The runway sat on the pond in the Col-lege of Textiles Courtyard. First place winners received $500 and Best of Show won $800.

CAMPUS SPOTLIGHTUniversity could save the world

Doctoral candidate in aerospace engineering David French has found a way of effectively diverting asteroids and other threatening objects from impacting Earth. French found that by attaching a tether and ballast to the incoming object, its center of mass will be changed and ultimately alter the object’s orbit. French studied his theory along with associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering Andre Mazzoleni and found his system could effectively alter the motion of an asteroid to ensure it missed Earth. The research, titled “Trajectory Diversion of an Earth-Threatening Asteroid via Elastic, Massive Tether-Ballast System,” has been accepted for presentation this September at the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics SPACE 2009 Conference and Exposition.

however. It is very tough course. It has a par of 71 and is also very different from oth-er courses that the team has played on during the season.

“This is going to be one of the tough-er ones,” junior Kathleen Strand-berg said. “It’s going to be really challeng-ing. The greens are going to be really fast and its going to be different from the ones we have played earlier in the year.”

Throughout the season, the Pack has become very famil-iar with the other teams in the ACC, playing against them in various tournaments over the course of the season, so a ri-valry has developed between

the Pack and many of the other ACC teams.

“I think the competitiveness comes from the fact that we see a lot of these teams a lot and are friends with a lot of them, so you have the rivalry there,” se-nior Lauren Doughtie said. “It’s a very fun atmosphere but the competition is so strong, you can’t beat it.”

Going into the tourna-ment, several of the Pack golfers said they believe they have just as good of shot as any-one to win it. With an older

team full of upper classmen, in-cluding Doughtie, the players said there is no reason to believe they can’t compete.

“I think we have the ability to finish very well this year,” Doughtie said. “We are starting to put things together and we have an older team traveling this year. Overall we have a lot more upperclassmen then we have had

in a long time.”The preparation and practice

the Pack has put in leading up to this tournament is different compared to other courses it have played on due to the set up of the course, mainly the on the greens and around them.

“We have worked on different shots that we don’t normally hit because of how the greens are, so we are using a hybrid to chip with instead of a lob wedge,” Strandberg said. “We have re-ally focused on our short game.”

Marsh said she hopes the team can take all the work it has done this year and play well.

“When you come to post sea-son play you really try to work hard on allowing your prepara-tion to show. You play one shot at a time and be patient,” Marsh said. “I try not to think about expectations, but rather just be confident and believe and let the things we have worked on all year come together for us.”

University, to this program. I can’t be her. I wish I could, but I have to be me. And that’s, in my opinion, the best way that I can honor her.”

Harper’s new players spoke highly of Stephanie Glance, the interim head coach who led the team efficiently during a time of uncertainty and sadness.

“I would like to thank NC State University for affording me the chance to be a part of such a fine institution for the last 15 years,” Glance said in an official state-ment. “I am saddened today that I will not have the opportunity to be the next head coach for the women’s basketball pro-gram. I would like to especially thank the fans, former players, and coaches from around the country who have sent letters, emails, and made phone calls on my behalf. Thank you sincerely for your support! I am most grateful for the lessons learned from the legendary Coach Kay Yow!w These will stay with me

for a lifetime! I wish her succes-sor the best.”

Holston said she and her team-mates would adjust well to the coaching change.

“Coach Glance was there on our recruiting visits and got to know us and coach us,” Holston said. “With everything that’s gone on, we definitely became emotionally attached to her. But at the same time, I’m excited to welcome our new coach, get to work and see where she takes us.”

Sophomore Tia Bell summed up the past several months with a few well-chosen words and a promise for the future.

“Sport is a business. I’m just pleased with the closure,” Bell said. “There’s been grieving and uncertainty. But at the same time, we’re going to build on that and succeed.”

As for who will replace Harper at Western Carolina, Harper of-fered a concept that will sound familiar to followers of the N.C. State coaching search.

“I will not have a say in who replaces me, but I think my opin-ion is valuable,” Harper said.

The University’s newest ad-dition to its athletic program, Kellie Harper, is aware that the red blazer she will don will be heavy with expecta-tions. She met with her play-ers minutes before her first press conference at the Uni-versity.

“It’s a process—I’m go-ing to be taking new things in, trying to understand her style and techniques,” freshman Bo-nae Holston said.

Harper c o m e s t o N.C. State af-ter coaching Western Carolina’s women’s basketball team for five sea-sons. She compiled a 97-65 overall record and led the Lady Catamounts to SoCon tournament championships twice during her tenure, most recently this season.

“We felt like we needed to hire a good coach and a head coach that has been success-ful. And we’ve found that coach,” Athletic Director Lee

Fowler said.Harper has a head coaching

background with a smaller bas-ketball program. But like State’s men’s basketball coach Sidney Lowe, she built up an impressive resume as a player before moving behind the bench. Harper played under legendary University of Tennessee women’s basketball coach Pat Summitt.

According to Fowler, Summitt has nothing but positive things to say about Harper’s tenure with the Volunteers a decade later. Fowler said that Summitt said that Harper was the smartest, most consistent point guard that

she had seen.Harper was

Summit’s start-ing point guard for her last three years at Tennes-see and helped the Lady Vols to three national championships in 1996, 1997

and 1998. During her senior year, she was an All-American honor-able mention and a second-team All-SEC selection.

Harper has a history with the Pack already, as her Lady Vols beat the Pack, coached by Kay Yow, in 1998 —Harper’s junior year.

“We want to consistently win and compete for champion-ships,” Harper said. “We want to beat our neighbors that wear

various shades of blue.”As for who will join Harper

along the sidelines at Reynolds Coliseum, it is probably that Harper’s husband, Jon Harper, will be there to instruct as well. According to Kellie Harper, Jon has served as an assistant coach alongside her for five years.

Everyone present at Harper’s introductory press conference yesterday paid homage to Kay

Yow, Harper’s predecessor, and insisted that they would carry on in her tradition.

“I have tremendous respect for Kay Yow, Coach [Stephanie] Glance and her staff,” Harper said. “We want this program to continue to something she [Yow] would be proud of.”

She went on to say that while she and her staff respect the house that Yow built, they will

not merely reflect on years past. As Harper said, the team will move on and “pull the personal aspect out it.”

“Kay Yow is and will always be a legend,” Harper said. “You obviously know that when you step foot on this campus. I re-spect what she has meant to this

Harper takes reigns as coach

In its first year at Sedgefield Country Club, Pack has high expectations

Taylor BarbourStaff Writer

The women’s ACC golf tournament begins this week-end on one of the most his-toric courses in all of North

Carolina, Sedgefield golf course in Greensboro NC.

Sedgefield, a Donald Ross course, is home to the Greater Greensboro Open and has seen some of golf ’s greatest players play on it including Gary Player and Arnold Palmer. This is the first year the tournament will be held at Sedgefield and is a three day event starting Friday morn-ing.

The tournament includes all

ACC teams except for Georgia Tech and Clemson, who do not have women’s golf teams.

“It’s one of my favorite events of the year,” coach Page Marsh said. “It’s a wonderful golf course. It has a great layout and is a very classic style course.”

Playing on such a prestigious golf course has its drawbacks,

The women’s tennis team lost to Florida State in the first round of the ACC Championship yesterday

Jen HankinSenior Staff Writer

Thursday afternoon, the women’s tennis team fell to No. 17 Florida State, 4-0 in the opening round of the ACC Championships. N.C. State finished the season 4-18 overall.

“Our girls have just got-ten stronger and stronger mentally,”coach Hans Olsen said. “Especially in the last three weeks. I think for them to ac-complish that with a lot of chal-l e n g e s i n front of them has been re-ally good.”

The Pack lost to the Semi-noles 1-6, in the regular sea-son, on April 5 in Tallahassee, Fla. Yet, according to Olsen, the team played better this time around.

“T he g i r l s i mproved tremendously,”Olsen said. “They were really fighting from start to finish. I was very much pleased with the

improvement, starting with the doubles.”

Doubles consisted of fresh-man Diana Mortlock and junior Berkley Brock, on the number two court, defeating Florida State 8-3. While number three doubles, freshman Pender Ses-soms and senior Neils Barringer lost 8-3. The doubles point came down to junior Daria Petrovic and sophomore Lenka Hojckova, who fell losing the point to the Seminoles 8-5.

“We came out in the doubles fighting really hard,”Barringer said. “We were really aggressive, but Florida State just came out with the right shots at the right time.”

On the singles court, Sessoms lost quickly to Jessica Sucu-pira 6-0, 6-0, playing number six. On court number four, Barringer lost

to Ania Rynarzewska 6-4, 6-2 in her final match for the Wolfpack.

“I was just excited today,” Barringer said. “On senior day I cried, but since then I’ve just enjoyed every match. It’s just been such a great experience and I wish the girls luck next year.”

No. 94 Hojckova, playing number one, started off strong against No. 58 Katie Rybakova winning the first set 6-2, but later

fell 6-1, 6-0, securing the Semi-noles victory.

Petrovic, who didn’t get a chance to finish her match, re-mained confident, despite the loss.

“It’s always important to fin-ish strong, and that’s what we did,”Petrovic said. “We all had a good mentality-- nobody gave up.”

Reflecting back on the season, Olsen said he is proud of all of the team’s accomplishments re-gardless of its record.

“The girls have really focused on the things they have control over,”Olsen said. “I’m really proud of them for that.” We’ve had some really good results too. Berkley and Lenka are both ranked nationally in singles and doubles as well. A year ago they were both un-ranked players, and to still be ranked at the end of the year, it shows a full year of improvement.”

The team has much to gain from this tournament and this season, however its not quite time for next season’s plans, ac-cording to Olsen.

“We are going to take a lot from today and a lot from this year and build on it,”Olsen said. “Yet, you can’t look to far ahead-- you have to take it one day at a time. You need to get the most you can out of this year, this team, and these players. They are young so they have a lot to learn.”
