Duke Campus Farm – Mentor Farmer PositionThe Duke Campus Farm is a brand new initiative at Duke University, currently in the initial stages of its one-year, one-acre pilot project. In the fall, the land was tilled, a cover crop was planted, and waiting for warmer weather to begin the first planting season. The aim of the farm is twofold: first, to provide the dining halls with fresh, seasonal food and second, to serve as an educational facility for classes related to food and sustainability. The farm is a student-led initiative but will need additional assistance. Admittedly none of the current workers are farmers, but they are eager to learn all that they can. Heads of the project are currently exploring the idea of hiring a mentor farmer, if interested, contact the Duke Farm for more information about this potential position.

A new program will donate 10 cents to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund for every mile run on the pink treadmills in Carmichael.

Allison SaitoStaff Writer

Running can burn calories and lift your mood. This February, running can also raise money to fight cancer.

For every mile logged on the two pink tread-mills in Carmichael Recreation Center from January 30 to February 28, Cybex will donate 10 cents to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund for Miles 4 Kay.

The Kay Yow Cancer Fund operates in memory of the late women’s basketball coach. It raises money to fund research and help the under-served to fight against women’s cancers.

Laura Karpf, assistant director of Campus Rec-reation, said the University is aiming for 10,000 miles to be logged on the pink treadmills.

“Ten thousand miles is going to be tough. But, there are some runners out there who run con-stantly. We will be able to do it if people know about it and know why we are doing it. Maybe the people who typically run outside would run inside for that cause,” Karpf said. “It is a lofty goal, but we can accomplish it.”

The pink treadmills will be on the third floor of the Rec Center, and they will be available dur-ing normal operating hours. Campus Recreation will keep track of the number of miles run on the

pink treadmills. Cybex International, an exercise equipment maker, has not set a maximum donation, according to Karpf.

“We are going to check it every couple of days, and we will have a chart up there so people can see the

Athletics Director Deborah Yow reminisces on the revered life of sister, late Coach Kay Yow.

Lana LaytonStaff Writer

Technician: How does it feel to conjoin your athletic track record with Kay’s legacy in con-tinuing the Yow impact?

Yow: “It feels terrific; it feels completely natural to me. There’s a type of serendipity for me, all these years later, to have come full circle, to have come home to the state of North Carolina and be N.C. State’s Athletic Director.”

T: What is it like to be Athletic Director, es-pecially being given the position after Kay’s passing?

Yow: “It’s completely positive. There’s not one single negative thing about it. it’s very neat to be here and to see her name hanging in the rafters.”

T: Were you and Kay competitive in sports or with each other in general?

Yow: “She was never competitive as a sibling because she was so much older than me. By the time I got to junior high school, she was already in college. But [one time] when I coached at Kentucky and she was coaching at State, we ac-tually played each other in the national post-season tournament in 1980. And we didn’t sched-

ule that; [it was] scheduled [like that] because her team was ranked number three in the country and mine was ranked number fourteen. [The game] was played here and she won by seven [points].”

T: Earlier this year, you became the first woman to be named N.C. State’s Athletic Director. How do you think Kay would have reacted to this prominent moment that has further advanced diversity and gender equality?

Yow: “I think she would have reacted the same way Susan [our sister] did. I think her emotion probably would have been that she was very proud, genuinely proud.”

T: Was she an influential part in your pursuance of such a position?

Yow: “No. I had pretty much decided it was never going to work out that I was going to be at N.C. State. I was vested in what I was doing at Maryland and for Maryland, then this job became open so I decided this would be a new season in my life and I decided I wanted to be home again.”

T: Kay became N.C. State’s first full-time women’s basketball coach in 1975. As Kay’s little sister, what was your response to such a progressive milestone?

Yow: “I thought they were smart. I thought Wil-lis Casey, who was the Athletic Director then, was a very smart man to hire Kay. He had an eye for special talent.”

T: With her coaching career set aside for a mo-ment, what was Kay like as a big sister?

Yow: “She was fun. As her younger sister, I used to bug her constantly about her car, asking can I borrow it? She was very generous in letting me do that, so she was a lot of fun.

T: Do you have any great memories of Kay? Yow: “The most fun memory is playing basketball

in the backyard with her, Susan and my brother. It would be two on two, and those were great games.”

T: If you had to choose your single favorite mem-ory of Kay, what would it be?

Yow: “I think it was a special night when the court was named after her, here in Reynolds. It was a ter-ribly busy day, but I caught a Southwest flight out of Baltimore, and flew down here. I was determined to get here for the ceremony, and I was here. I actually had to leave at halftime because I had a function for the wrestling team the next morning for Maryland. But I was really glad after I had decided to figure out how to make it work that I was here for that night.”

T: In your opinion, how do you believe Kay would like to be remembered throughout Wolfpack nation?

Yow: “I think it would matter more to Kay to be remembered as a good person than anything else, more than a coach. An absolutely caring person; I think that’s her legacy. She was a very good basket-ball coach, an excellent tactician. But more than that, she was a truly caring person. She thought a lot about other people and their needs, and what she could do to make them feel better about themselves or be happy. She was here 34 years and I think that’s her legacy, I really do.”

T: Before coming here, you were already important within the world of collegiate athletics. How do you feel knowing you are carrying on Kay’s legacy while creating your own area of recognition?

Yow: “I don’t think about either one of those

University owned property between Maiden Lane and Enterprise Street allow for residential, office property prospects.

Shivalik DagaStaff Writer

The University is planning to spruce up its “front door” with help from interested developers on the newly-renovated Hillsbor-

ough Street.According to Ralph Recchie, direc-

tor of real estate, the University bought property around the Bell Tower over the last two years worth $2.7 million, with a view to create opportunities for redevelopment under a single owner.

“The property across the Bell Tower is our front door, and we would cer-tainly want a high quality product there,” Recchie said. “We want some-thing high class to come up there, something that won’t look outdated in years to come.”

Recchie said that the main purpose

of buying the property was to create opportunities by assembling multiple sites under a single ownership, thereby providing real estate developers an in-centive to invest here.

Over a period of 12 months, the Uni-versity has purchased property from Enterprise Street to Maiden Lane. In addition to this, it also owns a parking lot, which could be developed as either under or overground depending on the developer.

Regarding the type of development, Recchie said the University would like to have a healthy mix of office, resi-

dential and retail space across the Bell Tower. While there are obvious ways to utilize office and retail space, the University is considering selling land for residential purposes at market rate, and not specifically student housing.

However, the residential develop-ment could be helpful to young pro-fessionals or graduates.

“Young professionals working in and around Centennial Campus would definitely find this attractive. A big advantage for them would be reduced hassle for commuting, as

they could just catch the bus across the street,” Rec-chie said.

“With the city also put-ting money on Hillsborough Street, these proj-e c t s t o -gether will be a cata-lyst for fu-ture rede-velopment by creat-ing a more dynamic shift,” Recchie said. “We want to bring a positive change to the location and hope that the momentum spills over to other areas surrounding the University.”

The University received 10 respondents from its recently concluded request for quota-tion, or RFQ. In March, with the request for purpose, or RFP, it will ask developers what they plan to do with the property.

“This is our first volley into making Hillsborough Street not only entertaining, but also safer and cleaner, among other things,” Recchie said.

Jeff Murison, executive direc-tor of the Hillsborough Street Community Service Corpora-tion believes that it will serve

the interests a nd ne e d s of the entire community, including students, vis-itors, alumni and residents l iv ing near the locations.

“The Uni-versity is taking a leadership role both as a partner and an investor by making significant contributions to the Business Improvement District,” Muri-son said. “It could well brand Hillsborough Street as the spir-itual centre of campus. This is an ideal location for a premier building and offers a great view of the Bell Tower, the center-piece of the campus.”

T: How do you remember Kay? What aspects of her and her life come to mind?

Yow: “I think the caring factor is always going to be prominent, as she was a very caring individual. It wasn’t be-cause she was famous, it wasn’t anything like that. It was more about caring. And I think the other part of her legacy is the “think pink” initiative for breast cancer. It all started here on our campus and now it’s a national initiative and all it’s going to ever do is grow.”

and South Carolina, said the company thought Miles 4 Kay would be a creative way to get people to partner against cancer.

“We [are] committed to being part of that, espe-cially since it is such a great cause,” Allen said. “We are trying to get more involved each year.”

Karpf said Miles 4 Kay will have benefits besides helping the Kay Yow Can-cer Fund.

“It promotes awareness and lifelong wellness, plus early detection. Awareness of breast cancer, awareness of health issues overall, the importance of exercise, staying f it, and staying healthy whether that means

running four miles or walking for 15 minutes,” Karpf said.

Miles 4 Kay also keeps the memory and legacy of Kay Yow alive.

“Kay Yow was one of our big-gest icons here on campus,” Karpf said.

Some groups, such as the en-gineering sorority Alpha Ome-ga Epsilon, have committed to have people on the treadmills for a set time period. Karpf said other groups are welcome to commit as well.

“If any other groups want to be involved, we are more than willing to pencil them in,” Karpf said.

“You are exercising. We are here to promote health and fit-ness. If we can raise the mon-ey while we are doing it, why not?” Karpf said.

Karpf said the staff of the Carmichael Complex is excited about Miles 4 Kay.

“Our associate director [Ste-ven Harrell] is leaving for Iraq for about a year, so he is on military leave. But, he was re-ally big on [Miles 4 Kay] before he left and was really interested in the program and shared that excitement with us,” Karpf said. “Our fitness director has caught on completely. She is a cancer survivor as well.”

The pink treadmill that ath-letics uses will also be included in the miles tallied for Cybex’s donation.

On January 30, the treadmills will be in Reynolds Coliseum for the Hoops for Hope game. Following the game, Cybex will move the treadmills back.

“They were going to start on February first for Breast Can-cer Awareness Month. But, because the Hoops for Hope game is on the thirtieth, Cybex has agreed to [start on January 30],” Karpf said.

{ }Our view

Student senators worked last semester to identify the weaknesses of the ad-

vising system from all perspec-tives. After their research, they have developed a comprehen-sive list of solutions for Provost Warwick Arden to review. With his approval, these solutions can begin helping students gain a better academic experi-ence. There is no reason Arden should hesitate to improve ad-vising at N.C. State.

For students, academic ad-vising time can either be con-structive or a hassle. The Uni-versity is counting on advisors to give students one-on-one time to work on their course of study and refocus their goals. If this isn’t done effectively, this can wreck a student’s chance of graduating or getting the most

out of their time here. This bill and the research the sena-tors conducted comes mostly from students’ experience, not administrators’ observations. This means students’ opin-ions have been considered and summed up in an easy plan that the provost only has to delegate out to the faculty and staff to get in motion.

An effective advising system will allow students to have bet-ter relationships with their ad-visor. They can use these pro-fessors for recommendations, get professional advice and truly access the resources in their department. The provost should realize that students

are left to brave the University bureaucracy without this rela-tionship. This can cause more work for students and profes-sors, and also makes the Uni-versity look bad when students are negative because they are confused.

The solutions the senators propose are not out of the realm of possibility. They are reasonable and use the resourc-es already available within the system. What they are suggest-ing is not a completely new system, but a reorganization. The provost should recognize this is something he can check off his budget cut checklist. It will take some initial work, but

the payoff in the long run will make it a more effective advis-ing session.

The ultimate goal is to give students what they need to suc-ceed, but only by listening can the provost and faculty know where they need to improve. Provost Arden needs to work with Student Government and the Strategic Planning Com-mittee working on advising to get this bill into action. He has the power to quickly review it and give the okay to imple-ment it. By stalling or not tak-ing the time to review the bill he is impeding the improve-ment of advising for the entire University. The more time that passes is the longer advising cannot work to get into new habits and, ultimately help stu-dents succeed more efficiently.

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.

Provost needs to take advice on advisingThe FacTs:Student Government read the Advising Bill for the first time Tuesday, Jan. 18. The bill was approved by the Academic Committee in November. If Student Senate passes the bill, it will go to the provost for review.

Our OpiniOn:UStudent Senate’s review of academic advising was very comprehensive and gives the students’, as well as pertinent staff and faculty, opinions a voice. Provost Warwick Arden needs to include the suggestions made by the senators in the Strategic Plan so advisors can begin the process of improving their advising sessions.

N.C. State Agriculture: We farm’ you eat

Wednesday’s article “Got to be N.C. sustainable agriculture’” penned by Editor-in-Chief Amanda Wilkins’ belittled the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the University as a whole with little foundation.

Ms. Wilkins argued for limiting our academic programs to promote only one popularized vision of farming. in contrast to her myopic viewpoint’ a broad-based approach to NCSU agriculture programs is necessary.

First’ it is important to recognize that the terms “traditional agriculture” and “sustainable agriculture” are not mutually exclusive. Sustainability’ defined as “using a resource so that the resource is not depleted or permanently damaged’” is undoubtedly an important aim for all forms of agriculture.

Depending upon the factors of analysis’ different production systems may be considered the most sustainable.¬† if researchers put a premium on use of productive land to raise

each broiler’ commercial chicken production would be favored over pasture-raised flocks. Alternatively’ if researchers prioritize use of petroleum-based fertilizer’ organic row crop production would be favored over more intensified methods.

Those of us who make the study and improvement of agriculture our livelihoods should discuss these issues accurately.

Second’ Wednesday’s article overlooked the fine work being done throughout NCSU to improve the efficiency of resource use in all methods of agriculture production. These contributions are laudable and important for sustainability.

Agriculture is the leading industry in this state. North Carolina agriculture supports farmers and consumers across a broad spectrum’ and N.C. State is the flagship university for agriculture research and development. NCSU programs should reflect the diversity of agriculture in the state and not be limited to fashionable ideas of the moment.

Ms. Wilkins should rethink her comments about the “standard” for N.C. State agriculture. We can have a robust debate about our University’s ability to meet the needs of agriculture in the future’ without punditry or short-sighted remarks.

Have faith Editor’s Note: This letter to the editor has been edited for length. Please see www.technicianonline.com to read the full response.

i just got through reading the article “A Season Lowe” and felt the need to show my full support for Sidney Lowe to have another year. This team is very young -- three sophomores and four juniors -- and needs another year to develop and mature as a team. i know that our best player, Tracy Smith, will be graduating this year, but i feel that the current roster can use the experience they gain from this year to help offset the production that Tracy Smith brings to this team.

Ryan harrow, Lorenzo Brown, and CJ Leslie are very talented freshman and have shown flashes of excellence in what could be the future of N.C. State basketball, but they’re freshman and have to take their bumps and bruises to be successful next year. if you want to see how hard it can be for freshman to transition from high school to college basketball just look at the struggles that harrison Barnes has gone through at that putrid school down the road. harrison Barnes was suppose to be an All-American as a freshman and be the savior for that school, but as his stats and play so far has suggested that expectations can be too high for freshman. Also i am aware that some people expect CJ Leslie to possibly declare for the NBA Draft after the season based on the great athleticism and skill he has, but i feel that he’ll highly consider sticking around for another year because an additional year under his belt could increase his draft stock even higher than if he were to declare now. it could help Sidney Lowe bring back N.C. State’s basketball team to national prominence and become legend

for doing so, and the possible lockout that the NBA could face next year is something to be concerned about for him.

i understand that nobody was necessarily calling for Sidney Lowe’s head in the article, but i feel that this newspaper needs to show more support in Sidney Lowe as he tries to bring N.C. State back to its former glory. if you need to look for an example for what another year of support could possibly mean then don’t look any further than the coach we lost to on Wednesday. After Krzyzewski’s third season he had a 38-47 overall record and 13-29 conference record. There was rumors back then that Coach K was going to be fired due to this dreadful start, but the athletic director Tom Butters decided to give him another year and he was in the NCAA tournament the next year and the rest is history. i’m not saying Sidney Lowe is the next Krzyzewski, but i feel that if we can give Sidney Lowe that additional year of support then we’ll never have to wonder what might have been if we had given him another year.

in defense of Sidney Lowe Editor’s Note: This Letter to the Editor has been edited for length. Please see www.technicianonline.com to read the full response.

i am glad the editorial board at Technician chose the recent men’s basketball loss at home against Duke as a catalyst for its opinion regarding the future of Sidney Lowe. it presents the

perfect opportunity for a little comparison.

October 10, 2009. i was in attendance at Carter-Finley stadium as the Pack hosted none other than the Blue Devils of Duke University. i watched in disgust as N.C. State offered the worst attempt at football i have ever personally witnessed en route to a 28-49 loss at the hands of the worst team in the ACC. i listened to N.C. State fans as they heckled their own offense for not being able to move the ball. As the clock expired, the few fans in red still watching the game booed their own team as it headed for the locker room.

No one cared then, but today fans are delighted with a 9-4 team that was one mercilessly bad call and a touchdown drive away from playing for a conference championship. Good thing O’Brien and Bible didn’t pack their s***. it seems to me that a little perspective is in order.

Sidney Lowe inherited a team of negatives. The only thing more noticeable than Brandon Costner’s ego was Ben McCauley’s unwillingness to adapt to the offensive style of his new coach. What has he done with this team? he has gone 71-62 (0.534) in four seasons, three of which ended with winning records, and has recruited the most promising freshman class N.C. State has seen in quite some time. his team lost by 6 points on the road to Syracuse, now #3 in the country, and by 14 to #5 Duke in a game that was ultimately closer than that 14 point spread indicates. in comparison, N.C. State antichrist Dean Smith was 50-36 (0.581) after four seasons, only two of

which ended in a winning record, and was hung in effigy after a 1965 loss to Wake Forest. Mike Krzyzewski was a disappointing 62-57 (0.521), also only 2 of 4 in winning seasons. in fact, Coach K had a losing record after his first three years. But both UNC and Duke fans are pretty glad neither of those two men packed his s***.

Admittedly the men’s basketball team has left a little to be desired on the court. Might i suggest that some of the missing intensity on the court is the result of the dismal attitude toward the team openly displayed on campus? More to the point, students, alumni and die-hard fans are not the only ones who attend N.C. State sporting events. So do recruits. The N.C. State fan base would do well to recognize that the consequences of their negativity, particularly when it is directed at their own athletes on a field or court, are far-reaching. if that does not change, it will be more than just Sidney Lowe; future prospects will start packing their s***, too.

Amedeo’s offers authentic Italian with a side of nostalgia

Featurescampus & capiTal

Amedeo’s Italian restaurant is owned by former Wolfpack assistant football coach Amedeo DeAngelis.

Joanne WuCorrespondant

When Amedeo Richard “Dick” DeAngelis left his Ital-ian surroundings of Reading, Penn., for Raleigh almost 60 years ago, he felt the absence of Italian eateries was simply unacceptable.

Since childhood, DeAngelis had been surrounded by good food. His parents owned and operated an Italian grocery store in downtown Reading, while the rest of the family lived upstairs.

“It was the perfect Italian ste-reotype,” Dave Parker, husband of Jill DeAngelis Parker and co-owner of the restaurant, said.

Yet, the “perfect stereotype”

was interrupted when DeAn-gelis received a football schol-arship to play for N.C. State. Although he had to leave the comfort of his familial en-vironment, much of his entrepre-neurial suc-cess was due to his foot-ba l l career and love of the game.

“Amedeo used to say, ‘Raleigh’s idea of Ital-i a n w a s ketchup dumped on bread,’” Jill DeAngelis Parker, daugh-ter of Amedeo DeAngelis and co-owner of Amedeo’s, said.

DeAngelis played for the Wolfpack starting in 1954, be-coming one of the key players in the school’s first ACC foot-ball championship of 1957

under Coach Earle Edwards. Upon graduation, DeAngelis endeavored to continue his football career and ventured as far north as his Pennsylvania

hometown.I t d i d n’t

take long for DeAngelis to find him-self back in t h e Wo l f -pack family, where he as-s u me d a s -sistant coach posit ion to head coach Lou Holtz .

Although leaving home to jumpstart his career also meant departing from the rest of the family, their influences and homemade Italian reci-pes stuck with him. Nostalgia couldn’t hold DeAngelis back from building a business upon what he was good at — cooking up mouth-watering Italian fare and creating a sense of undeni-able affinity with everyone he comes across.

Of course, DeAngelis’ Italian roots played a role in his ability to establish quick connections as well. Colleagues and helping

hands from his past football years at the University made Raleigh his second home and the perfect place to open up a restaurant.

In 1963, Amedeo’s Italian Restaurant opened its doors to the public, with a seating capacity of 12. Today, it still sits on Western Boulevard, expanded to seat 200. The dra-matic difference comes across as no surprise to any of the res-taurant’s regulars.

The business proves kinship goes beyond blood relation. Treated like family, many of Amedeo’s current regulars have no reason not to return.

“The DeAngelis family con-nection in this restaurant goes back from day one,” DeAngelis Parker said.

Ever since DeAngelis brought his mother to North Carolina to lend a hand while he coached on the side, the family has con-tinued to stick around in the business. His daughter DeAn-gelis Parker and her husband currently run the restaurant and now their daughter serves as hostess. Lynell Williamson, DeAngelis’ first employee and cook, is still the man responsi-ble for their famous specialties.

If the family’s amiable aura is not enough, the food is what keeps faithful customers com-ing back. The menu contains all the basic Italian staples — ravioli, lasagna, pizzas and the like. Spin-offs of Ameri-can food also create variety in the menu while essentially all tastes build off regional Italian flavors.

“We have different dishes like the Penne Rustico, sandwiches and burgers. But the core of it is Italian – real Italian and home-made,” David Harris, who also co-owns the restaurant with the Parkers, said.

Nevertheless, it’s their home-made sauces that turn these basics into scrumptious en-sembles.

“Try the blue cheese. We dip everything in the blue cheese,” DeAngelis Parker said. “Every-thing [in the menu] evolves over time but the gravy, the sauce — that’s what makes Amedeo’s, Amedeo’s.”

Doubling as a museum and hall of fame, the restaurant’s walls are lined with photos of N.C. State athletic figures – some dating back to the mid 1900s and some from last sea-son. Every table, booth and

room is decorated with a Wolf-pack athletics theme, whether it is dedicated to Coach Kay Yow or to the University’s base-ball team, there is hardly any white left on the walls.

“The antiques on the wall give the atmosphere an Ital-ian family house feel,” Grace Williamson, a sophomore in biological sciences, said. “The food comes in a perfect portion [and] the menu is authentic.”

Amedeo’s welcomes all stu-dents with a 15 percent dis-count if they present their stu-dent I.D.

Mr. Mechanical wins Mr. Engineering PageantQ&a with

Stephen Smith

Technician: How did you get involved in the Mr. Engineer-ing Pageant?

Smith: Last year I actually hung some flyers up for it. It’s basically a talent competition. It was promoting Relay for Life, which is for cancer research, so I thought it was pretty cool. Last year I didn’t have time t o l o o k into it and this year I thought “oh, I ’m n o t r e -ally doing anything at the be-ginning of the semester,” so I submitted an application in October and they called me up to represent mechanical engi-neering.

Technician: Can you tell me

a little bit about your talent?Smith: I don’t have a name

for it, but I solved a Rubik’s cube on a unicycle.

Technician: So were you rid-ing around on the unicycle or just balancing on it?

Smith: I rode in a circle on-stage. I had a friend of mine –

a girl – sit in a chair; she was dressed up kind of geeky. T h e n I ran on-stage,

looking geeky... I was like, “I should impress her — I’ll ride around on a unicycle.” The judges mixed up a Rubik’s cube and I got on [the unicycle] and rode around in circles around her solving [the cube]. I gave

[the finished cube] to her, like “I solved it for you.”

Technician : Did you train for that?

Smith: I’ve known how to do a Rubik’s cube for a while – it’s just one of those things I just picked up. I learned to ride a unicycle in junior high school. Someone dared me to try both at the same time a while back, and it’s not actually that hard. If you can do both, you can do both at the same time. It was a lot of fun and I didn’t have to practice too much because I’ve done it before.

Technician : What else was included in the Mr. Engineer-ing Pageant?

Smith: It started with an introduction of all the people from the different majors. For the introduction, everyone wore something related to their major—it’s supposed to be kind of funny. Last year, the winner was in electrical engi-neering — he wore Christmas lights to represent electrical engineering. The aerospace guy wore rockets on his back, the civil guy had construction stuff on and the textile guy had a reflective vest. I made a duct tape suit...

After the introductions they did the talent section and an interview section, where we all came on stage and answered a question pertaining to our major. It was pretty straight-forward—kind of like a beauty pageant.

Technician : Do you get a special prize for being Mr. En-gineer?

Smith: They gave me a crown and a sash, like you would do at a pageant. I also got a gift card to Best Buy. I wasn’t expecting that; I thought it was just a for-fun thing.

Stephen Smith, a junior in mechanical engineer-ing, is this year’s Mr. Engineer. Representing his major as Mr. Mechanical, Smith competed in

the Mr. Engineering Pageant, a talent show hosted by the Society of Women Engineers, to raise money for Relay for Life. Technician caught up with Smith after the pageant to discuss his involvement in the pageant and to find out more about his secret talent.

Gymnastics tops rival West Virginia by .075 in second home meet of season.

Brent KitchenAgromeck Sports Editor

In front of a season high crowd of 2,521, the women’s gymnastics team downed EAGL rival West Virginia by a final score of 194.550-194.475 Friday night at Reynolds Coli-seum. However, the meets outcome was in jeopardy until the final announcement of the score.

“When we [N.C. State and West Virginia,] compete it’s always a great meet, it’s always down to the wire, it’s always within a point of each other,” Coach Mark Stevenson said.

Heading into the final rota-tion, the Pack found itself trail-ing the Mountaineers by .025.

“I was in a little panic before [the fourth rotation],” fresh-man Stephanie Ouellette said. “And then afterwards I was like ‘Wow.’ It made me feel really good.”

Led by Ouellette with a score of 9.825, State was able to notch a 48.600 on its floor exercise to overtake West Virginia which scored a 48.500 on its balance beam rotation.

“The freshmen did a phe-nomenal job today,” Steven-son said. “Stephanie [Ouel-lette] was four for four. Han-nah [Fallanca] was our only mistake by a freshman and [Diahanna Ham] was three for

three. So it’s really hard to fault the freshmen and the perfor-mances they’re doing.”

The Wolfpack saw contribu-tions from four freshmen, led by Ouellette, who placed fourth in the all-around for the meet.

“It’s weird to say it, but it’s kind of like watching our baby,” junior Jess Panza said. “[Ouel-lette] is not that much younger than us, but it’s really exciting watching her go through pre-season and watching her go through what we went through. Knowing that we can rely on freshman for every single event is such an amazing feeling.”

However, according to Ste-venson, the key to the team’s success was its mistake-free execution.

“The bottom line for both teams is that both teams, N.C. State and West Virginia, went out and we did no mistakes in a meet,” Stevenson said. “We had one fall, didn’t count one, they had one fall, didn’t count one. So I was really pleased with the performance of my athletes.”

State also improved in the vault, raising its score of 48.550 against Oklahoma to 48.875 against West Virginia.

“Our scores were a lot bet-ter this week,” senior Brittany Vontz said. “Our form and our landings were a lot better this week. I think that vault was our best event.”

State gymnasts and coaches alike hope to build upon their improved scores on vault and carry the momentum into the season. However, according to Stevenson, the gymnasts still

need to perfect their more dif-ficult skills.

“We’re going to have to have a little bit better form,” Steven-son said. “We’re going to have to upgrade a bit. We’re not do-ing all of our hard skills yet. It’s better for us to do our routines right now and gain confidence

than put them in.” State travels to Gainesveill,

Fla. Friday to face Florida and Penn State before returning home to Reynold’s Coliseum February 2 to take on Iowa State.

wrestlers who won both of their matchups. Redshirt juniors Colton Palmer and Darrius Little joined Nere-im as the only Pack wrestlers to go undefeated on Satur-day. Little says that he has a special nickname for those middle three wrestlers.

“The 141, 149, and 157 wrestlers, whether Matt [Nerei m] or Da r r ion [Caldwell] are out there are going to be dependable,” Little said. “I like to call it ‘death row.’ Because we are all one right after the other and we all know we can win if we are at our best.”

Both Little and Palmer come out of this weekend

with 21 and 24 wins, respec-tively. Palmer is also riding high on a nine-match winning streak, a feat that he says should help him become ranked, but it is still not as important to him as what he does at the end of the season.

“I definitely feel that I deserve the right to be ranked,” Palmer said. “But it really doesn’t mat-ter to me where I am ranked right now. It’s really not a big deal to me if I potentially win the ACCs or do well in nation-als. Having a number next to my name is not as important as being an All-American.”

The Pack will face confer-ence foe Duke this Thursday in Reynolds at 7 p.m. before the big matchup this weekend against No. 6 overall Okla-homa State in Stillwater on Sunday at 3 p.m.

Camelscontinued from page 8

under a minute remain-ing, Kastanek hit two free throws to regain the lead, but Duke forward Chelsea Gray hit the eventual game winning layup with 12 sec-onds left. However, head coach Kellie Harper chose not to call a timeout before the Packs final possession.

“We had struggled getting the ball up floor and getting good looks,” Harper said. “So I felt like our best op-portunity to get a shot was to let our kids go and not call the timeout and not allow them to set up their defense which had hurt us all second half.”

For States final posses-

sion Kastanek had a great look from beyond the arc, but the shot rimmed out. Junior for-ward Bonae Holston grabbed the rebound and missed the put back. Duke’s Krystal Thomas pulled down the rebound and let the clock run out to end the dramatic contest.

Although State took a hard loss, Kastanek believes this devastating loss will become fuel for their fire for the rest of the season.

“I think the feeling that all of us have right now is going to fuel us for the rest of the season,” Kastanek said. “Yes, it’s going to give us confidence because obviously we can play with the number three ranked team, obviously we’re good enough to do that. And I think it took a game like this, unfor-tunately we had to lose it. “

Pack weathers Hurricanes

State falls short of upset vs. Duke Wolfpack crushes Camels, then beatenWrestling defeats Campbell, then loses lead, and match, to Ohio.

Cory SmithDeputy Sports Editor

Though severa l N.C. State wrestlers won crucial matches for their respec-tive resumes, the Wolf-pack found itself a victim of the same fate as the weekend before; winning its first match and dropping the second.

The first bout of two for the Pack (7-5, 0-1 ACC) was against the Campbell Camels (1-13). After drop-ping the first match, State went on a tear, winning four straight and seven of the last nine matches.

Freshmen Conor Ho-vis, Matt Nereim and Nijel Jones all got wins against the Camels. In fact, Nere-im and Jones pinned both of their opponents. Coach Carter Jordan said he was especially impressed by the way that Jones stepped up this weekend.

“I don’t know if a lot of people know this, but Nijel Jones is actually wrestling up two weight classes,” Jor-dan said. “For a true fresh-man to do that, and get a pin in his first match, makes me really proud. “

W h i le red sh i r t s e -nior Darrion Caldwell may

be the No. 1 overall wrestler in the country in the 149 lb. weight class, Jordan said that he has been impressed with Ne-reim wrestling in his place.

“A guy like Matt [Nereim] can really energize the team,” Jordan said. “It’s extremely impressive to see that type of performance from a freshman. The last freshman we had per-form like this was Darrion [Caldwell]. And that takes a lot of talent.”

The final point total for the Campbell matchup was 31-9, an impressive win for the Pack. But Jordan said that State want-ed a victory much more against the Bobcats.

“The Campbell match was more of a warm-up for us than anything,” Jordan said. “Get-ting a win against Ohio was something we really wanted. We really want to try to get more quality opponents like them to come to Reynolds and wrestle us here.”

The dual match against Ohio began similar to the previous bout with the Pack dropping the opening match. However at the midway point, with five matches remaining, State held 12-9 lead.

Unfortunately for the Pack, the scoring ended after the fifth match as the Bobcats ran the table to win the dual match 29-12.

Though State was not able to pull out two wins over the weekend, there were three

Last-second put back keys Wolfpack victory on program’s 100th anniversary.

Describing N.C. State’s game against Miami as a ‘must-win’ might have seemed too early, but N.C. State coach Sidney Lowe used the term fol-lowing the Wolfpack’s 72-70 dramat-ic victory over the Hurricanes at the RBC Center on Sunday afternoon.

“They are all must-wins for me,” Lowe said. “You can put a capital on that or an asterisk beside it. It was a big win. It’s an ACC game. We’re trying to start something and we were at home. There was a lot riding on that [game].”

W i t h m o r e than 80 Wolfpack basketball legends on hand to honor the program’s 100th anniversary, State (12-7 overall, 2-3 ACC) let a 17-point second half lead slip away but was able to make key plays dur-ing the late stages of the game to pre-serve its second conference victory.

A Tracy Smith put back with 40 seconds remaining, followed by a Ryan Harrow steal and a chaotic scramble for a loose ball as time ex-pired, highlighted a thrilling final minute and ended the Pack’s three-game losing skid.

“We still have a lot of the season left, but I think this was a great win for us to get our confidence back,” Smith said, who finished with 16 points and seven rebounds.

For the third straight game, Lowe used a different starting five. Join-ing Smith and junior Scott Wood in the starting lineup were Harrow, junior C. J. Williams and sophomore

Richard Howell, who finished with a team-high 17 points and hauled in five rebounds in only his fourth start of the season.

“Richard was really good,” Lowe said. “He started with great energy, rebound-ing, passing and scoring. I thought he got a little tired but he was really good. Richard is another player that under-stands what we’re doing offensively and defensively.”

The energy of the Pack’s new lineup was evident in the game’s opening min-utes as the team sprinted out to an early 12-2 lead against the Canes—something the team has struggled to do all season.

“I don’t think we’ve ever started out like that so that really helped us out,” Harrow said.

State held the lead for the entire first half and added to it when Williams buried a desperation three-pointer as time expired to give State a 37-30 halftime ad-

even hotter than the first, going on an 18-8 run to extend the lead to 17, the largest of the game. But Miami (12-7, 1-4 ACC) responded with a 22-6 run, sparked by three consecutive three-pointers by Malcolm Grant, to pull within three points. The Hurricanes tied the game at 64 with 3:48 left to play when Durand Scott connected on a jump shot.

With one minute left to play, Scott gave Miami the lead for the first time all game, but the Pack reclaimed the lead on Smith’s put back. Harrow’s steal led to a made free throw by Williams, push-ing the score to 72-70. Wood, who fin-ished with 11 points, deflected Grant’s pass intended for Reggie Johnson, caus-ing a massive scramble as time expired.

Johnson, who scored 20 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, battled with Smith in the paint the entire game with

neither player backing down.“He’s a big kid,” Smith said of the

six-foot-10-inch, 303-lb. Johnson. He’s strong and can move around well. It was a battle, just two big kids going at it.”

With road games at Clemson and

North Carolina looming, the Wolfpack hopes it can carry momentum from its ‘must-win’ victory over Miami into Clemson, S.C., on Tuesday.

N.C. State came within a possession of taking down the undefeated Duke Blue Devils, but couldn’t finish. Instead of shocking the na-tion and upsetting the only remaining undefeated team in women’s college basket-ball, the Pack walks away with a bittersweet 65-64 loss.

In the first half, State defi-nitely came to play. Sopho-more guard Marissa Kas-tanek scored the Packs first two points with a slashing layup. The Wolfpack fol-lowed Kastanek’s lead, with an impressive showing both offensively and defensively. State’s largest lead came at the end of the first half af-ter freshman center Kody Burke hit two free throws in the bonus, giving State a 40-22 lead heading into inter-mission. The Pack’s stifling defense managed to hold All-American Thomas to six first half points and Duke to a season low of 21.9 percent shooting from the field in the first half.

“We tip our hats to N.C. State, they played abso-lutely terrifically,” Duke coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “Great basketball, the best I’ve seen them play all

year. At 52 percent shooting by them in first half was obviously problematic.”

State looked as if they were poised to finish off the Blue Devils early on in the second half, keeping the lead at a high of 18 points. But Duke start-

ed chipping away at the State lead until Duke center Krystal Thomas hit a layup that would tie the game at 61.
