BP oil spill likely to affect N.C. CoastStudents living at and visiting N.C. beaches offer varying opinions on effects of spill.

Chelsey FrancisStaff Writer

In Louisiana, it was the pictures of the oil-soaked pelicans and dead sea turtles that upset the residents. As the oil moves east, residents of Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida are contending with the expanding size of the spill.

Now, with oil pouring in to the Gulf of Mexico for almost two months, res-idents of the North Carolina coast are watching the flow closely to determine how it will affect tourism and the fish-ing industries.

The oil spill is putting a damper on the economy of the states already af-fected by the spill, according to Mike Walden, an agriculture and resource economics professor.

“We don’t know yet what type of ef-fect the oil spill will have on tourism and the economy in North Carolina.

If the oil gets here, and we see the same effects that are being seen in the Gulf Coast, we could see some major ad-verse effects,” said Walden.

According to Walden, the oil spill could impact both tourism and the fishing industries. Both these indus-tries are vital to people living on the North Carolina coast.

Alex Venegas, a sophomore in aero-space engineering, lives at Holden Beach. He hasn’t heard anyone talk-ing about how the oil spill is going to affect businesses in the area.

“The oil spill hasn’t really affected us here. At least, I haven’t heard any one talk about it,” said Venegas. “The oil is still a long ways off from getting here, but it seems quieter than in past years around town.”

Caroline Harman-Scott, a sopho-more in animal science, lives in Man-teo, on the Outer Banks. She said that people around her town are worried.

“If the oil gets into the Gulf Stream, it will be coming to the Outer Banks, and if that happens, the fishing and tourism industry will be completely

destroyed. Our economy is basically split between fishing and tourism and the effects would be devastating,” Harman-Scott said. “We are already being hit hard by the recession, and if the oil comes here, countless people and businesses will be broken.”

Harman-Scott also expressed the national worry about sea life and the negative effects the oil could and will have on endangered sea life.

“Not to mention what the oil will do to our sea life. Our turtles are already endangered and this could completely wipe them out,” said Harman-Scott.

Families planning trips to the beach are taking different approaches on planning for the oil reaching the North Carolina coast. Amanda Brooks, a sophomore in First Year College, said she plans to travel to the coast at the end of June with her family.

Brooks said, “Short of the oil getting here soon, we won’t cancel. But if we heard it was in the area, we’d probably have to cancel the trip.”

Venegas easily summed up the at-titude of a lot of students and beach-

goers. “I haven’t really kept close tabs on

where the oil is. I know it’s not to North Carolina yet,” said Venegas. “The oil will probably get here later, maybe at the end of the summer. Then it will be more of a big deal for us.”

Volunteer coach purloined over $20,000 of the self-supporting team’s money.

Ann PolkStaff Writer

Dance team c o a c h a n d State a lumna Jamila Kikora Wr i g ht w a s charged June 3 with embez-zling $21,001.31 from her team. Wright coached the team from fa l l 2007 to April 2010 and was herself a member of the dance team for four years until she graduated in 2004.

“The dance team is not considered a varsity sport and functions as a club sport with Campus Recreation and Wright coached on a volunteer basis,” said Laura Karps, assistant director of marketing for campus recreation.

“All club coaches are volunteers so she was never employed by the Uni-versity,” Karps said. “Club sports receive very little funding from the University, requiring the team to be almost entirely self-sufficient, raising all funds on their own.”

“The sad part is that these students are out there running all this on their own because they get limited funding

from the University and now some-one’s come in and taken the money they spent their hard time and energy raising,” Karps said.

“The filched funds were discovered after the team treasurer noticed in-consistencies in the team’s bank ac-count,” Karps said. “Club teams are student run and managed, and cur-rently are not required to give a copy of bank statements to the club sport’s director.”

“We are looking into new policies so we can deter this from happening in the future… right now clubs are stu-dent run, student lead. We [Campus Recreation] just offer assistance, and answer questions,” Karps said.

Keith Nichols, director of news services, said he is not sure how the money was used but the investigation is ongoing.

“Exactly what was done with the money and how she purloined it are not known as the case is still under investigation,” said Nichols. “I assume there won’t be a lot of details until the investigation is complete.”

Kimberly Susen, junior in middle grades education, has a friend on the dance team and knows how dedicated and hard working the dancers are.

“A friend of mine is on the dance team and I know she puts a lot of effort and money into the team, they have to pay for a lot of things. It’s really ter-rible that someone they are supposed to trust would take from them like that,” Susen said.

According to the team’s web-site, they have been active 17 years and perform at all home football games, men’s and women’s basket-ball games, gymnastic meets and select baseball games. They also perform at pep rallies, parades, alumni events and many commu-nity and charity events.

“That they appear at so many school functions and pay for it all almost entirely themselves is admirable, they must be really dedicated. I’m sure that missing money made things much harder than they should have been,” said Mary Brooks, junior in First Year College. “They’re there to support the school and that the coach is an alumna makes her treachery even worse.”

Cambridge Cunningham, ju-nior in communications, said the school should provide more regu-lation so this doesn’t happen again.

“Given the recent incident state should have a system in place to check and balance all the money coming in and spent for the club teams. It’s terrible they put their trust in that person to be a role model and coach and she set such a poor example,” Cunningham said.

After Mary Easley’s formal complaint was rejected, Easley’s attorneys sent protest letter to trustee.

Chris Boucher Correspondent

The Mary Easley termination saga is over for N.C. State — for now.

A former University faculty mem-ber and wife of ex-Gov. Mike Easley, Easley filed a grievance over her ter-mination less than a year ago. On June 3, Chancellor Randy Woodson an-nounced that the University dismissed the grievance.

A pair of the former first lady’s at-torneys returned fire the next day, however, indicating that the dismissal might not end the grievance fight.

The grievance dismissal was “due to procedural issues,” according to a press release. “Mrs. Easley failed to respond to the University’s request to schedule a pre-hearing meeting and the grievance hearing itself,” the

release continued.Easley filed the grievance last sum-

mer, soon after interim Chancellor James Woodward cancelled Easley’s contract at the direction of the Board of Trustees on June 8, 2009. Wood-ward said Easley was no longer needed because many of the responsibilities listed in her job description were elim-inated to make up for a state budget shortfall.

University officials declined to re-leases the grounds on which Easley was contesting her firing since it was a personnel matter and would not comment further.

What was clear, however, was the fallout that resulted from Mary Eas-ley’s tenure at the University.

Easley was hired by then provost Larry Nielsen in 2005 as an executive-in-residence and lecturer. The job called for her to head up the Millen-nium Seminars speakers program, and to teach graduate courses in pub-lic administration and leadership for

WOLFPACK-MADE FRESH DAILY

law-enforcement officers.In 2008, the former first

lady got a new dea l — a nd a substant ia l raise.

T h e s e c -ond contract was for f ive y e a r s a n d worth $850,000, a raise of more than 80 percent f rom Easley’s previous pay.

Ex-Chancellor James Oblinger said the raise w a s j u s t i -f i e d b a s e d o n E a s l e y ’s new, “addition-al duties,” including serving as pre-law director, liaising with area law firms and law schools, and setting up a dual degree program.

The pay controversy led to a crisis of confidence at the top levels of University adminis-tration, ultimately resulting in the resignations of Chan-cellor Oblinger, Provost Larry Nielsen and Chairman of the

Board of Trustees McQueen Campbell on June 9, 2009.

The trio denied pulling any strings for Easley, though emails obtained by a federal grand jury indicated that “Campbell communicated with Gov. Mike Easley about

a poten-tial job at N.C. State for Mary Easley and then worked with Oblinger and Nielsen to fashion a job for her,” ac-cording to a May 19, 2009 story i n T h e N e w s & Observer.

Though Mary Easley and her husband have been silent on the grievance dismissal, her lawyers have not.

In a letter dated June 4 and addressed to Board of Trust-ees member Randall Ramsey, attorneys Wade E. Byrd and S. Luke Largess criticized the University’s actions.

The letter states that the Uni-versity has no procedure on file

for grieving a mid-contract termination, and “the process cobbled together by NCSU does not meet basic due process re-quirements. Procedural ly, there was no pre-termination meeting, no continuation of salary during the proceedings, and Mrs. Easley’s counsel was not allowed to actively partici-pate in the hearing.”

“That NCSU would claim that Mrs. Easley refused to set a hearing date, without explain-ing her fundamental due pro-cess concerns, seems duplici-tous,” Byrd and Largess wrote.

The University was awarded its first Sustainable Business Award, acknowledging N.C. State as a force to be green with.

Nathan Hardin News Editor

The Greater Raleigh Cham-ber of Commerce presented the University with the Smith Seal of N.C. Sustainable Business Award. It was the University’s first time winning the award designed to acknowledge busi-nesses supporting and working toward the advancement of sus-tainability.

According to a news release, the award recognizes business-es that have embraced the spirit of sustainability by incorporat-ing environmentally conscious practices.

David Dean, outreach and communications coordina-tor for the Office of Sustain-ability, said the University was chosen for the award because of previous enhancements and plans for future sustainability projects.

“N.C. State won because of a multitude of efforts and pro-grams happening on campus,” Dean said. “Winning the Smith Seal Sustainability Business Award says more about the forward progress N.C. State is making as a whole, rather than just the Sustainability Office.”

In 2008, the University expe-rienced arguably the most no-ticeable sustainability change when University Dining imple-mented trayless dining halls. Since then, they have continued the pursuit of sustainability by switching to GreenSeal clean-ing products, microfiber mops that use less water, a filtration vacuum system and catch-and-

release pest control.According to Dean, the

changes a l low University Housekeeping to be “one of the most aggressive green cleaning programs in the country.”

Dean also said he believes this award reflects the aware-ness that the University has about impacting the environ-ment and that students’ aware-ness of these issues is pushing the University to rethink sus-tainability.

“It is my belief that students today are more aware of their impact than any generation prior,” Dean said. “With wire-less technology in just about every corner of the world, we can see in real time the impli-cations of a cracked oil well, deforestation or starvation. Current and prospective stu-dents want to know they are a part of an organization that is making strides to solve some of the world’s greatest problems.”

The Environmental Protec-tion Agency selected Tucker Hall as one of 14 buildings

to take part in the EPA’s EnergyStar competition. Only two N.C. universities, NCSU and UNC-Chapel Hill, had buildings selected.

“If you spend any amount of time on campus you will realize all the great things this University is challeng-ing itself with. Now the outside world is starting to really take notice,” Dean said.

Dean said students should take pride in the Universi-ty’s efforts to go green.

“The faculty, staff and students at N.C. State should all feel a sense of ac-complishment and be very proud they won this award.”

Charles Leffler, vice chan-cellor of finance and busi-ness, accepted the award on May 4 at the Raleigh Con-vention Center..

University wins Sustainable Business Award

The new College of Education dean revealed some of her thoughts about NCSU to Technician via an e-mail interview.

Nathan HardinNews Editor

Jayne Fleener will take over her position as the dean of the College of Education at the end of the month. Fleener is the College of Education dean at Louisiana State University, and is coming to N.C. State with more than 20 years of educational experience.

Technician: What is it like returning to North Carolina?

Fleener: Returning to N.C. is a bit like coming home, but it is also a new adventure. Places and people change over the years and my position at NCSU will be different from what it was as a teacher and student during the 11 years I spent [in North Carolina] in the late 70’s and 80’s. It will be a new ad-venture especially as I become acclimated to the Raleigh area and the many opportunities I will have to work with a va-riety of different people both inside and affiliated with the University. Technician: What are you

looking forward to at N.C. State? Fleener: I am very excited

about working with world-class

faculty, students and colleagues at NCSU. The College of Edu-cation already has an outstand-ing reputation and a long his-tory of excellence that I am hoping to advance. The dean’s role is to tell our story, to push the college to greater heights, and to develop and support a community of scholars and students as they pursue excel-lence and make a difference in the world, creating and shaping possible worlds of the future. Technician: Along with ‘de-

veloping and supporting a community of scholars,’ what other things must the College of Education dean be held re-sponsible for?

Fleener: I also think the dean has a responsibility to bring in resources, to work collabora-tively with colleagues on and off campus, and to contribute to the well-being of the larger university and state system. Technician: What do you

hope to achieve at this Uni-versity?

Fleener: I am excited because of the outstanding opportuni-ties for advancing education and outreach in North Caro-lina and because of the sup-port the citizens of N.C. have provided for education at all levels. With that support comes the responsibility and steward-ship to uphold the ideals and confidence the legislature and citizens of N.C. have bestowed

upon us. As a land-grant uni-versity, our mission and our work through our teaching, re-search and engagements serve the entire state. I am looking forward to meeting a variety of our constituents through-out the state and learning how the NCSU College of Education can better serve and fulfill our mission. At the same time, I am excited about the role the Col-lege of Education and the entire campus community plays in serving our global communi-ties.

Technician: N.C. State has 2,000 students enrolled in the College of Education, produc-ing the most math, science and technology educators in the state, what are your thoughts on taking the college to even greater heights?

Fleener: NCSU is truly a great university that understands its dual mission to serve the citi-zens of the state and to be a na-tional and international player in a global environment. Our greatest resource is our ability to shape the future through the knowledge, creativity, and passions of our students. We all touch the future through the difference we make in the time we have on Earth and through the students whose lives we in-fluence and passions we nur-ture so they too can see the future as an opening for hope and possibility.

{ }OUR VIEW

The BP oil spill is one of the greatest tragedies of the year thus far. Aside from the numer-ous animals being drowned by oil in their natural habitat, 11 fatalities and 17 injuries have also been reported. According to the New York Times, about 100,000 barrels (4.2 million gallons) of oil are flowing into the Gulf of Mexico every day, and the number continues to increase. Research now shows that come July, the effects of the oil spill will hit us in North Carolina with the coming of the Gulf Stream.

So what are we doing about it? Unfortunately, simply changing our Facebook profile picture to the grotesque images of oil-covered animals or black BP logos is not going to make much of a difference. Take the

time to do some research about the spill. What caused it? Why is it such a big deal? How can it be prevented? Who is being held accountable? What effect is it having on our ecosystem?

As the spill gets larger and the effects begin to reign in closer to home, it is far more crucial to look into the facts. Being informed can be our strongest weapon against something like this. Listen to the news or read up on the latest update on the spill. Being the hot topic that it is, every popular news chan-nel and paper has some sort of update on it every day. Also, take a look at the photographs. They say photos are worth a

thousand words, and they are the best way to visualize what has already happened and put into perspective what could.

Look into volunteering at the Gulf and helping out with the cleanup. A variety of options are available for those interest-ed. The National Audubon So-ciety is training people to clean animals affected by the spill. The National Wildlife Federa-tion is looking for people to form an extensive wildlife sur-veillance network for rescue and rehabilitation efforts. The Sierra Club is also taking calls for volunteers and offering helpful factsheets and sugges-tions to keep your informed.

The saying “where there is a will, there is a way” comes to mind. If you can’t go out to the oil spill yourself, write to your local congressman about your concerns. Make a donation to any of the organizations in-volved with the cleanup. If you want to make a difference, you can. So what’s stopping you?

The unsigned editorial is the opinion of the members of Technician’s editorial board excluding the news department and is the responsibility

of the Executive Editors.

Combating oil and turmoilTHE FACTS:Even two months after the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill, oil has continued to creep along the Gulf Coast states and is slowly making its way towards the Gulf Stream, which will bring it up the East Coast to N.C.

OUR OPINION:Students should stay informed and seek to understand the scope and breadth of the oil spill to be proactive and involved in the issue.

They Carried: “They carried all they could bear, and then some, includ-ing a silent awe for the terrible power of the t h ings t hey carried.” I had been home for about a week

and was going to be returning to Iraq in another week to fin-ish the remaining five months of my tour. In The Things They Carried, Tim O’Brien explores his experience as a 19-year-old American infantryman fight-ing in Vietnam. While reading it, I remember being struck by how similar our experiences were. Like him, I was a 19-year-old infantryman serving in a conflict with ambiguously def ined pa-rameters in a far away country. The surroundings were differ-ent. His war took place in a dense trop-ica l jung le whi le mine took place in the mazes of ancient Arabian streets and alleyways, but this difference was an inconsequential detail. Both environments are appro-priate metaphors for the wars that took place within them.

It is a story that has been driven to the point of cliché: a middle-class American boy gets sent off to fight in a night-marishly confusing conflict in a foreign country, where the term ‘fog of war’ is driven to its absurd extreme. Now another cliché: ‘history repeats itself.’ But I digress.

Sometimes it felt more like chasing will-o-wisps than fighting a proper war. The en-emy existed as muzzle flashes and tracers, shadowy figures darting in and out of alley-ways, like incoming rockets. The village that greeted us with smiles and platitudes would be the same village whose young men would fire rockets into our base at night.

That was six years ago. The memories are no longer fresh and have had time to ferment. They are no longer merely raw

sensory data, but rather mean-ingful and symbolic represen-tations of my little slice of that war.

I remember once finding a nine or ten-year-old boy asleep on a rooftop clutching an AK47. I remember taking the rifle out of his hands and waking him up. I remember how he looked at me, with a mixture of disbelief and defeat. I remember how, even though I was his enemy, when I held my hand out to him, he took it and walked with me to the stairs. I remember holding his hand in one hand and his assault rifle in the other. I remember lying to my squad leader saying that I found the rifle somewhere else on the roof. I remember how, when it came down to it, he was only a child.

Then there is the endless pro-cession of skinny, hooded pris-oners that has been marched through the Vietnam War up into this war and into my memory. Yusef Komunyakaa

writes in Pris-oners, part of his collection o f p o e m s about his ex-perience in Vietnam en-titled “Dien C a i D au ,” “usua l ly at the helipad/ I see them stumble-

dance/ across the hot asphalt/ with crockersacks over their heads/ moving toward inter-rogation huts.” In that poem, Komunyakaa is pointing out how tragically dehumanizing it is both to be a prisoner and to take a prisoner. He goes on to ironically ask, “how can any-one anywhere love/ these half-broken figures/ bent under the sky’s brightness?” In the poem, the speaker is so dehumanized that he scorns these helpless, bound men. I remember this feeling. I also remember feel-ing horror when I realized how monstrously cold I could some-times be.

War is one of the only experi-ences shared by every genera-tion of mankind. There is little that can be said about it that hasn’t already been said, so I will leave you with another quote by Tim O’Brien: “Even now I haven’t finished sorting it out. Sometimes I forgive my-self, other times I don’t.”

Nicholas MianoStaff writer

Understand that al-though you and your girlfriend are

in the same relationship, you both are separate units that are com-pletely capable of e x i s t i ng individually. I feel far too many couples make the mis-take of being too reliant on their relation-ship, forgetting

the fact that relationships are not necessarily set in stone. If your life is taking you two apart, acknowledge the diverging paths and be willing to make that sepa-ration.

The second issue at hand is loyalty. I feel that healthy relationships have some fundamental elements that should be unwavering: loy-alty being one of them. If you are worried about how loyal you will be to her or how loyal she will be to you from afar, maybe you need

to reconsider the seriousness of your relationships.

Long-distance relationships are meant for people who don’t want to see anyone but the per-son they are with, no matter how far away they may be. If you want to be in an “open rela-tionship”, why bother being in a relationship at all? Obviously, if you’re considering open-ness in your relationship, you want to be able to explore your other options. Take that lib-erty for yourself, and give the same to her without the guilt of commitment attached to it.

For far too many cases, dis-tance has proven to be the de-mise of a relationship. In a way, summer is a test of sorts, to see if a relationship can stand the turbulence of physical separa-tion. Often times, a relation-ship is based solely on the physical and not the emotional. This, I feel, defeats the purpose of sharing an emotional con-nection with someone. Physical benefits should come with be-

ing emotionally linked, not the other way around.

College relationships, as it is, are extremely stress-ful and demanding. Along with the normal stress of a relationship, the two of you are still growing up and ma-turing. On top of all of that, you both are taking sepa-rate routes in life. Being at

the place that you two are, a long-dis-tance re-lationship without

commitment is quiet hon-estly pointless.

To answer your question, it is unreasonable to ask for an open, long-distance re-lationship. You can’t have your cake and eat it too, so pick a side. You can either be with her and be completely loyal, regardless of how far away she is, or find a more convenient relationship. If both fail, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being single. Take it from some-one who knows.

Dear Avani,Summer rolled around the corner, and I was expecting all of

the college life to disappear. Classes were supposed to end, and I was supposed to go out and find myself the new beginnings of my life. And in that plan, I saw my girlfriend moving with me to my new job. Unfortunately, she didn’t see it the same way, and she is flying out to the West coast. We both don’t know whether it is reasonable to remain loyal to each other for that long of a time. What I want to know is whether or not it is reasonable for me to ask for a long distance relationship, but expect it to be completely open.

FeaturesTechnician thursday, june 10, 2010 •

On May 24th, 64 North Carolina college, graduate, and law students began summer internships working in state agencies across the state in diverse fields ranging from art to business to law. Fourteen of those students come from N.C. State Uni-versity.

John Smith, the internship pro-gram coordinator and doctoral student at the University, said the program has been in existence for 40 years.

“This program really serves three populations: the interns them-selves, the state agencies and the people of North Carolina,” Smith said. “The interns gain experience and earn some summer pay, and the agencies receive smart, energetic young people to work with. “

Smith said a lot of the posi-tions are service-oriented, so the students’ work often benefits the

people of North Carolina.Although there have been as

many as 125 interns in the past, state budget cuts from the eco-nomic recession cut the amount of internships the state was able to offer this year. In addition, the number of applications grew to over 900 from around 700 in the past, according to Smith.

“The selection process was highly competitive but very fair,” Smith said. “The applicants rank the top internships they would like to work with, and the state agencies rank the top students they would like to work with. We hope to be able to pair students with their top choices.”

The students work from May 24th through July 30th and receive $8.25 an hour for their work.

Too often summer internships for college students consist of filing papers and coffee runs. The North Carolina State Government Internship Program tries

to remedy this problem by offering students summer jobs that give exposure to public service fields and career op-portunities.

Recycling Graphics for the 35 to 55 year-old demographic with Department of Environment and Natural Resources

For Chelsea Amato, an internship in recycling graphics was the perfect fit for her personal interests and career aspira-tions. Amato, a junior in graphic design, wants to gain experience related to her major but also has a strong commit-ment to the environment.

“Through my graphic design career, I hope to promote awareness of envi-ronmental issues and serve my com-munity,” Amato said. “This internship comprises all of my interests and will help me decide if this is something I want to do in the future.”

Amato’s summer internship con-sists of two main projects. First, she is working on a campaign for the teen-age demographic helping to revamp the website, Re3.org. She is also creating a campaign for the 35 to 55 demographic, which centers on the website recyclem-orenc.org.

“In addition to designing web pages, I work with print sources, such as design-ing posters that help people find ways to recycle on the go,” Amato said.

State government was not a subject Amato knew much about before her in-ternship, but she said she has learned a lot about how government works.

“In Raleigh we have a lot of resourc-es, but in other cities the governments can’t even afford computers,” Amato said. “My department works a lot with local governments helping them find resources to implement programs such as the ones we have in Raleigh.”

Another experience that was new to Amato was working a 9-to-5-office job.

“I’m learning what its like to work in front of a computer instead of a design studio,” Amato said. “It’s not as intense as school work but you have to be more self-motivated.”

Pharmacological Assessment and Care

of Individuals with Developmental Dis-

abilities with Dept of Health and Human

Services in Black Mountain, NC

Deanna Tesch works part-time at a

developmental disabilities clinic in

Raleigh, helping people with a range

of disabilities learn how to read and

write, exercise, and do math, among

other important skills. That experience,

combined with her knowledge of chem-

istry, has made her current internship

a success so far.

Tesch is working at the Black Moun-

tain Neuromedical Treatment Center

helping patients with developmental

disabilities and performing pharma-

cological assessments.

“The first week, I was able to choose

four patients to work with and spend

time with,” Tesch said. “In addition

to observing them, I look at their past

medical histories and think about the

ways the drugs they have taken and may

take will affect them.”

In only two weeks, this internship has

made Tesch realize what she wants to

do in the future.

“I know that I want to do research

now, so I want to go to graduate school

and specialize in medicinal chemistry,”

Tesch said. “The chemistry of the brain

is fascinating to me, and I would love

to understand the brain and how drugs

affect the brain and maybe even work

on drugs in a lab.”

Tesch said she was surprised by how

nice the facilities are and the quality of

treatment the patients receive.

“Everyone really cares about the pa-

tients and are really nice and friendly,”

Tesch said. “I have a lot of independence

but everyone is here to help if I need it.”

Martha Eberle graduate student in landscape architecture

Downtown Design Assistance with the

Department of Commerce in Asheville

Eberle, who had done some landscap-

ing in undergraduate school, said she

really enjoyed the design aspect of it

and decided the internship with the

Department of Commerce seemed like

a good fit.“I’m helping out with their com-

munity assistance program and I’m

helping design rural communities in

the western part of the state. Right now

I’m focusing on two towns Hayesville

and Crossnore,” Eberle said.Currently working in Hayesville, Eb-

erle said she is currently focusing on the

county courthouse.“We’re going to start looking at the

landscape on the outside. They want to

build a trail that goes from a local his-

tory museum,” which Eberle said has

a lot of Cherokee stuff in it, “through

town to their school and eventually out

to an archaeological site.”The internship is a partnership with

the state and a nonprofit called Hand-

made in America, according to Eberle.

“They’re working together to give

general planning assistance to rural

communities and help provide fund-

ing through grants,” Eberle said.

Although she hasn’t gone out to

Crossnore yet, Eberle said she’ll be do-

ing something similar to what she is

doing in Hayesville.“[They’re] building a trail to connect

outer parts of the town. A lot of what

I’m doing is providing them plans they

can use to get grants and federal fund-

ing,” Eberle said.

Anuja Acharya junior in political science

Legislative Internship with the Admin-istrative Office of the Courts of RaleighSome of the state government intern-ships actually do pertain to, well, gov-ernment! Anuja Acharya, a sophomore in political science, has a legislative in-ternship with the Administrative Office of the Courts of Raleigh this summer. “Prior to the internship, I knew a lot about the executive branch of govern-ment, but I didn’t know as much about the legislative and judicial branches,” Acharya said. “This internship gives me the unique opportunity to see how legislation can affect the work of the courts.”Acharya is working to make an elec-tronic legislative bill tracking system, so officials and the public can see what stage of the legislative process a bill is in. She is also learning a lot about the

judicial and legislative systems.“I can already tell that this internship is about learning as opposed to doing busy work,” Acharya said. “I love the people I work with and I have my own office already.”One surprise Acharya said she re-ceived was seeing how much work goes into government decision-making.“I’ve always heard that government was wasteful and inefficient,” Acharya said. “But right now they are working on the budget and a lot of good pro-grams have to be cut because of money. A lot of government comes down to making tough decisions that somebody has to make.”

Sarah McKonegraduate student in technical communications

Displaced Homemaker Manual with the Department of Administration in RaleighAs a technical communications stu-

dent, McKone said one of the biggest focuses is writing documentation that is either to learn how to do something or use something.“The council that I’m with is the North

Carolina Council for Women. Specifically I’m working with the Displaced Home-maker’s Program, one of the many pro-grams the Council for Women does,” McKone said. “The Displaced Home-maker’s Program deals with individuals who have relied on income from another source, whether it’s from a spouse, a sig-nificant other, parents. Something has gone array, whether a divorce, death, separation, abandonment.” The men or women the program deals

with need to find additional employment, but because most have been homemakers and providing energy within the home, such as childcare or housekeeping, where they’re unpaid, McKone said they don’t have the employment experience or the vocation experience to get high wage positions that can support them or their family.

“The Displaced Homemaker’s Program

works with those people to provide job training and other services to help them achieve economic sustainability. My posi-tion is to work on a best practices manual through the Displaced Homemaker’s Pro-gram,” McKone said. “There’s 35 of them across the state and they all have unique services but they also all have to apply to the same guidelines. I unite those prac-tices into one comprehensive document. I also outline best practice strategies for those programs so they can continue to be successful within those communities.”

McKone said she found out about the program through the N.C. State Career Center.

“The cool thing about [the intern-ship] is while I’m in my program I write a manual for how to use this technology or how to use this software, when at the internship this summer I’m learning more on how to help people,” McKone said. “It’s going to go to 35 different pro-grams across the state to help people ev-ery single day. If they use it and it makes the programs better then it’s going to be the coolest thing I’ve ever done.”

‘90s pop sensation Backstreet Boys returned to Raleigh Sunday, June 6, for part of their 2010 tour. The concert was also the first ticketed show for the new Raleigh Amphitheatre – which didn’t disappoint.

Laura WilkinsonFeatures Editor

Back in the day, N*Sync, Brit-ney Spears and the Backstreet Boys (BSB) were the hottest music stars around, so when I learned about the latter group’s Raleigh concert, I jumped at the chance to relive the BSB dream.

At 7 p.m., a crowd of mostly female, mostly 20-somethings began cheering as a group of dancers took the stage. After a couple of minutes, most of the crowd realized the danc-ers were not with BSB, but were their opening act. This didn’t fully dishearten most of the fans, but we were all ready for some BSB action.

Finally, an hour later, people leaped from their seats and started screaming like 6-year-olds at a Miley Cyrus concert as the BSB took the stage singing “We’ve Got it Goin’ On.” This song was highly appropriate since the lyrics are about how the Boys are back again.

I’m not ashamed to let ev-eryone know that I was one of those obnoxious fan girls, screaming and waving my arms around like a lunatic – the group is still great and the atmosphere they create is ex-hilarating.

The band, which used to have five members, is now touring with four – Kevin Richardson being the only one not to re-turn. This did not present too much of a problem though, since the other members of the group and the audience supplied the vocals for the ex-member’s parts.

In fact, my sister joked the audience maybe knew the lyrics to their older songs better than the actual band did. Or, maybe in their old age they just needed

to take a breather from all the dancing and singing.

When it was time for the band and their dancers to change costumes, the audience was entertained with a short video personalized by each of the four group members. At first, I was a bit skeptical about these videos, which took scenes from real movies and inserted the band member as the lead actor, adjusting the script to pertain to the Backstreet Boys. But after the second video, I just went with it and enjoyed the slaughter of films such as “The Matrix,” “Enchanted,” “The Fast and the Furious,” and “Fight Club.”

The band made sure to play mostly older songs the crowd knew, but they also sang a few songs from some of their newer albums. I could tell it was a newer song by the way the crowd got quieter once they realized they didn’t know all of the lyrics. There were the faith-ful few who had been keeping up with the band that still shouted along with the song, which kept the crowd going.

Ironically enough, right be-fore the heartbreaking song “Incomplete,” rain started fall-ing on the audience – a down-side to an open arena. The cool rain was a welcome reprieve

from the hot and muggy weath-er we first experienced upon ar-rival at the Amphitheatre. The welcome ran out, however, at the end of the show when I discovered my purse – with my cell phone, iPod and GPS – was soaked through.

All of the pictures of the Am-phitheatre I had seen online seemed to present the venue as spacious, with three seating sections and lawn area. How-ever, when I arrived, the actual site was a lot smaller than I had imagined. After some debate, I found the smaller, cozier size of the amphitheatre to be an asset – I could clearly see the stage and performers from al-most anywhere I sat, with the exception of the lawn seating.

Originally I had planned on buying lawn tickets because they were half the price of seat tickets, but once I saw how tiny and crowded the lawn was, I was glad I forked over the ex-tra $20 for a better view and comfort.

One of the best aspects of the Amphitheatre is its proxim-ity to the Raleigh Convention Center’s Cree Shimmer Wall. The colorfully lit piece of art, depicting a maple tree, served as a beautiful backdrop to the harsher lines of the city build-ings and flashy metal stage.

Parking can be a nightmare for many people who go to con-certs, but the Raleigh Amphi-theatre is located right across the street from a parking deck, so the only hassle was avoid-ing the rest of the concert-goers who were stumbling along the sidewalk in their mini-dresses and 3-inch heels.

As a side note, ladies: a ripped T-shirt tied around the midsec-tion does not constitute as a dress, and from the looks on the faces of the men who were in attendance, that look is not attractive anyway. But it did make my day at the end of the concert to laugh at the girls with their smeared and run-ning makeup, limping back to their cars.

Ref lecting back on the en-tire concert experience, I was completely satisfied with both the Backstreet Boys and the Raleigh Amphitheatre. I finally fulfilled my childhood dream of going to a BSB concert and even though I had to drive to the beach that night sopping wet from the rain, I wouldn’t have traded it for anything.

ACC focuses on more than athleticsTwo research grant recipients designed projects to study poultry genomics and plant biology.

Laura WilkinsonFeatures Editor

When ACC comes to mind, some people im-mediately think of athletic exhibitions and conference championships. However, some students at N.C. State and the other Atlantic Coast Conference schools are giv-ing these people a reason to think otherwise.

The ACCIAC Undergrad-uate Fellows Program in Creativity and Innovation is a program established to highlight student-driven discovery and accomplish-ment at ACC universities by awarding them grants to conduct research in their field of interest.

This year two students from N.C. State were among the recipients of the grants.

Mary Pat Bulfin, a sopho-more in animal science, is one of these students.

Although the program bears the name of the ACC, the program itself has noth-ing to do with athletics as Bulfin explained.

“It star ted with the ACC. They were originally brought together for athlet-ics, but then they realized that because some of their core values are innovation and creativity, they wanted to place a good emphasis on academics,” Bulfin said.

For this reason, the AC-CIAC Fellows Program was launched.

“They have created this program for undergraduate students to pursue some-thing they are passionate about, be it something ar-tistic or something research related, and you can do it as a team initiative or an indi-vidual initiative.”

Joining Bulfin as a re-cipient is David Higgins, a junior in plant biology, whose research will center around plant cells and the long term potential of plants to become more drought tolerant.

“The nature of my proj-ect involves protein-pro-tein interaction in plant cells. What we’re working towards is understanding how a single transduction pathway works, which is involved in the regulation of drought stress in plant cells,” Higgins said.

Higgins said his par-ticular part of the project involves a specific pathway called the phosphoinosipide pathway.

“This pathway hasn’t re-ally been researched too

much in detail, particularly the part that I’m studying. It’s innovative in that I’m one of the first ones to look at it,” Higgins said. “I’m also using an innovative technique to study it which hasn’t really been studied in other labs before, or even our lab. So I’m using new techniques to study a new part of the pathway.

Bulfin, however, said her re-search focuses in on the field of poultry genomics.

“It’s actually called nutrig-enomics and it examines how diet relates to genetic profiles. So it’s how what is consumed by the animal or person affects how genes are expressed in the body,” Bulfin said. “I found out about this just reading a magazine and I asked one of my professors if anyone on campus was doing this research, then this ACCIAC opportunity came about and I said ‘Wait, I’m going to put these puzzle pieces together.’”

While in Georgia during part of the past spring semester, Bulfin visited Danisco Ani-mal Nutrition, the company providing chickens with the 10 different treatments she is studying.

“I just took samples from the intestines – so we’re actu-ally working with the tissue- and we’re preparing them for RNA extraction. That’s as far as we’ve gotten. It’s a repetitive process, there are 160 samples and I just did the first four. We’re preparing to extract the RNA and we’ll eventually be looking at gene expression,” Bulfin said.

The goal in nutrigenomics, Bulfin said, is to devise diets that suppress destructive genes.

“The components that make up the nutrients in your diet are interacting somehow physi-ologically in your body and it turns on – I’m not sure exactly what ‘turning on’ means, but it just means that that gene is exposed and is reacting in your body. Like, antioxidants can cause genes to turn on and turn off in your body and it just means which ones are acting and involved,” Bulfin said.

Because of the ACCIAC pro-gram, Bulfin will be able to extend upon all of this.

“[It] provides the financial means for students to find their passion, go discover, and learn how this knowledge can be used to serve their world,” Bulfin said.

In addition, Higgins said he believes that this opportunity will give him a leg up on the competition in the future.

“It’s a good opportunity to get research in, which is im-portant for the science field and being an undergrad who is looking to pursue a science career,” Higgins said. “Re-search is one of the top criteria that grad school is looking for. So research like this makes my application more competitive.”

wildcard, the football team. The team struggled might-ily last year on defense, al-lowing 31.2 points per game and lost its primary running backs in Jamelle Eugene and Toney Baker. But there is hope. The freshmen that looked lost at times last season in the secondary will have a full year of ex-perience, while the offensive passing attack seemingly lost nothing from last year and should expect nothing but improvement. Also, the Pack’s most dynamic player, redshirt senior linebacker Nate Irving, will be back on the field, while redshirt junior quarterback Russell Wilson has already stated he is coming back to play

another season.Lastly, we have the team that

finished its season most re-cently, baseball. Yes, this team will lose at least three of its core players in Dallas Poulk, Drew Poulk and Kyle Wilson, but it has the depth to replace it. Outside of the three seniors, only two other juniors, Chris Schaeffer and Russell Wilson, played vital roles. With all the other players being freshmen or sophomores, the depth is there to make another run at the ACC title and into the NCAA’s.

While this may be overly op-timistic, next season’s teams have a chance to build upon the success and failures of this past athletic year and improve on it to give the students and fans an opportunity to experi-ence some consistent postsea-son play, something they have been starved of in the past few years.

wasn’t able to play baseball as much as he needed to for his skills and talents to come into play. They know once they get him on the baseball field more often, then those talents are going to showcase themselves and he will make progress quickly in their or-ganization.”

For Avent and the baseball team, Wilson has bounced around between various positions as a utility player, seeing time in the outfield, infield and even on the pitch-er’s mound. Offensively, he finished 2010 with 12 RBI, three home runs, two triples and five doubles. From the mound, Wilson made 10 ap-pearances, recording a 5.84 ERA in 12 1/3 innings of work. Avent’s top assistant, associate head coach Tom Holliday, said Colorado’s use of a fourth-round pick on Wilson speaks to how much he has proven to the baseball world while juggling the de-mands of playing two different sports at such a high level.

“Russell Wilson has been identif ied by the baseball world,” Holliday said. “That’s what the draft tells you. [Being drafted] in the fourth round means he’s a pretty good pros-pect, and as little as he’s played, that really is a tremendous compliment.”

With the ability to keep op-posing football team’s defen-sive coordinators up all night by fall and woo seasoned base-

ball scouts by spring, Wilson finds himself in an unusual predicament as the upcoming football season approaches.

“He’s got a real decision ahead of him,” Hol l iday said. “For most kids who get drafted in the fourth round, it means a new life for them. But he has three options: he can give up college baseball and football, give up col-lege baseball and play college

Charges against DT Sweezy droppedMisdemeanor assault and larceny charges against N.C. State defensive tackle J.R. Sweezy were dropped Thursday, according to the Iredell County Court Clerk’s office. The charges stem from a physical altercation that took place between Sweezy and a Mooresville shuttle bus driver on March 18. Although these charges have been dismissed, Sweezy still faces pending misdemeanor charges of possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and maintaining a dwelling for the purpose of using a controlled substance. The drug-related charges date back to an April 24 incident, which also involved teammates Jake Vermiglio, Markus Kuhn and George Bryan. After tallying 26 tackles and three sacks last season, Sweezy was expected to compete for a starting position on State’s defensive line this year.

Wilson one of five taken in draft“Playoffs, playoffs, you

want to talk about playoffs? Are you kidding me? I just hope we can win a game.” This quote, made famous

by former Indianapo-l i s C o l t s head coach Jim Mora, is one of the funniest post game tirades i n recent memory. It may seem funny, but

for N.C. State fans in the past few years, it rang so painfully true.

However, with the 2009-2010 seasons ending, Wolf-pack athletics may be on its way up heading into next year. Before this season, State fans have not had much postseason experi-ence. In the past two years, the top-5 revenue sports, softball, baseball, foot-ball, and both men’s and women’s basketball, have only made postseason play outside of the ACC tourna-ment three times. Those trips consisted of a trip to the PapaJohns.com Bowl in football, a Super Regional in baseball and lastly, a wom-en’s NIT Bid. All those oc-curred during the 2008 cal-endar year.

But just this year three of these teams made it to postseason play. In coach Kellie Harper’s first year the women’s team made the NCAA tournament, the basketball team made it to the NIT after a strong run in the ACC tournament, and most recently, the baseball team made NCAA Region-als after a second place fin-ish in the ACC Tournament.

Some may say that this was a single season and that it does not mean any-thing for the years to come. But the common thing that will help these teams extend their success into next year is the youth associated with many of these teams and hopefully the experience they have gotten in the past year can carry into next year and provide fans and students with some postsea-son action to cheer for.

For example, as everyone has heard, men’s basket-ball has a top-5 recruiting class coming in next year that includes McDonald’s All-American C.J. Leslie. Mixing the incoming class with returning players such as second team All-ACC forward Tracy Smith and freshman sharpshooter Scott Wood gives the Pack a team that can rival any in the ACC.

Then look at the women’s team. Coach Harper turned a team that went 5-9 the previous season in ACC play into an NCAA tournament qualifier. Matching that with the continued im-provement of ACC Fresh-man of the Year Marissa Kastanek and leading scorer Bonae Holston gives fans no reason to expect anything but an improvement going into next year.

And then there is the

COMMENTARY

Revenue sports on the rise

Russell Wilson, selected by the Colorado Rockies Tuesday in round four of the annual fifty-round draft, plans to play football for Tom O’Brien and the Pack in the fall

Tyler EverettSports Editor

Hearing his name called as the Colorado Rockies’ fourth-round selection will not keep record-setting Wolfpack quarterback Rus-sell Wilson away from the football field, Wilson said in a teleconference Tuesday.

“I am also planning to come back and play foot-ball this fall,” Wilson said. “I want to come back and win an ACC Champion-ship.”

After starting in 25 of his team’s 47 games and bat-ting .306, Wilson was the first Wolfpack player off the board in this year’s draft when the Rockies selected him with the 140th pick Tuesday afternoon.

“You may wonder how a guy that wasn’t an everyday starter can go in the fourth round,” coach Elliott Avent said. “Number one, that shows how they feel about

the makeup and character and how important that is in a player like Russell Wilson.”

Wilson, who redshirted his freshman football season, has completed three seasons of baseball and two of football. Statistically, Wilson has ac-complished far more in two years on the football field than he has in three on the baseball diamond.

A first-team All-ACC quar-terback and ACC Rookie of the Year in 2008, Wilson is already one of the most prolific passers in school history, leading the conference with 31 touchdown passes in 2009. After just two seasons, the two-sport star from Richmond, Va. already ranks fifth in school history in both yardage and comple-tions, with 4,982 career passing yards and 374 completions. He is also in third place with 48 ca-reer touchdown passes. Avent said Wilson’s exploits on the football field have likely made him all the more appealing to the Rockies.

“They factored football in and the things he’s done from the quarterback position, so they knew what a winner he is and how competitive he is,” Avent said. “They factor in the fact that baseball is such a repetition sport and that he

After a late-season run, the Wolfpack’s season comes to a disappointing end

Tucker FrazierDeputy Sports Editor

Expectations surround-ing the N.C. State base-ball team could not have been any higher entering the double-elimination Myrtle Beach Regional last Friday. But all hopes were dashed when the Pack was sent home packing follow-ing consecutive losses to Stony Brook and College of Charleston.

As the No. 3 seed in the four-team Regional, the Wolfpack made valiant comeback attempts, but could not overcome 7-0 and 6-0 deficits to College of Charleston and Stony Brook, respectively.

“It was a tough ending for us all,” junior pitcher Jake Buchanan said. “We all ex-pected to go down there and get first. We just obviously didn’t show up for the first two games and we didn’t play the way we played the last month of the season. Overall, it was a good year, but it’s disappointing that we don’t make it out of the regional.”

Bucha na n took t he

mound for the first game of the regional against College of Charleston (44-19) Friday night. Usually State’s most reliable starter, Buchanan struggled in the early going, surrendering three runs to the Cougars in the first inning.

Things did not get better for the native of Dallas, N.C., as the Cougars scored four more runs, only one earned, in the fourth inning to push the score to 7-0 before Buchanan was re-lieved by junior Nick Rice. In all, Buchanan allowed 12 hits, all of which were singles, and four earned runs.

Trailing 7-0, the Wolfpack scored a pair of runs in the sixth inning to bring the score to 7-2. Senior Drew Poulk blasted a tower ing grand slam in the eighth inning to narrow the score to 8-6, but it was too little too late. The Cougars added one more run to defeat the Pack by a final score of 9-6.

“Every team in the NCAA tournament is a good team so you have to play well,” Dallas said. “Things just didn’t come together like we needed them to.”

Following the tough loss to College of Charleston, the Wolfpack had to beat Stony Brook (30-27) Saturday in to

keep its season alive under the double-elimination format.

Freshman pitcher Anthony Tzamtzis’ first collegiate start did not go as planned. Tzam-tzis allowed six earned runs

in the f irst inning and was only able to record one out before be-ing relieved by redshir t sophomore

Vance Williams. State’s bull-pen combined to shut down Stony Brook’s offense , holding it scoreless the rest of the way.

Facing a 6-0 deficit after the first inning, the Pack struggled against the Seawolves’ Tyler Johnson, who allowed two earned runs on six hits and struck out ten.

“I thought we played well this weekend,” coach Elliott Avent said. “We just had to put it all together and play extremely well, but we ran into a couple of very tough pitchers down at

Myrtle Beach. Stony Brook’s pitcher was the type of pitch-er we have struggled with all year. He pitched well for [Stony Brook] and has pitched well for them all year.”

In encouraging news in an otherwise disappointing week-end, senior second baseman Dallas Poulk garnered third team All-American honors. Poulk finished his final year at N.C. State with an impressive .360 batting average, 11 home runs and 60 RBI while starting all 62 games at second base.

Even though it is an indi-vidual honor, Poulk is the first to admit that it would not have been possible without the help from teammates, coaches and fans.

“I have said this to the guys all year,” Poulk said. “It’s easy to play and do well when you have a supporting cast around you that really cares and really wants to win. So when they do well, it makes it easier for you to do well.”

Houston takes Jake Buchanan with pick No. 243 and adds Alex Sogard in 26th round, Dallas Poulk goes to the Florida Marlins in round 19 and Kyle Wilson is taken by the San Francisco Giants in the 24th round

Tyler EverettSports Editor

In addition to Russell Wilson, who was taken by the Colorado Rock-ies with the 140th pick in the 2010 MLB draft, four other Wolfpack players were drafted Tuesday on the second day of the three day, 50-round draft.

Junior pitcher Jake Bu-chanan, who the Houston Astros selected in the eighth round, was the next player off the board after the Rockies chose Wilson.

“It was definitely exciting sitting there with my par-ents,” Buchanan said. “This is one of the most exciting times for me in my base-ball career. I was expect-ing to go any time from the sixth through the tenth or eleventh. It was right in the middle. I wasn’t too sur-prised because that’s about what I was hoping for.”

The junior from Dallas, N.C. enjoyed a breakout ju-nior campaign after posting a 5-8 combined record during his freshman and sophomore seasons. But Buchanan was one of the Pack’s best arms during his junior year, going 8-6 with a 3.68 ERA and 96 strikeouts in a little more than 100 in-nings pitched. He was at his best at the ACC Tournament in Greensboro, earning all-tournament team honors for his efforts.

Senior second baseman Dal-las Poulk, a first-team All-ACC selection and third team All-American, was the third State player off the board when he went to the Florida Marlins in the 19th round. He enjoyed an extremely productive four-year career with the Pack and was at his best during his final season, when he hit .360, with 60 RBI, 80 runs scored and 11 home runs. He leaves N.C. State with the sixth-most career at-bats, with 868, and the seventh-most hits and runs scored, with 281 and 184, respectively, in school history.

Five rounds later, the San Francisco Giants took senior outf ielder Kyle Wilson in round 24. Wilson led his team in batting average by hitting .368 in his fourth and final season for coach Elliott Avent. Wilson also recorded 34 RBI
